This package is an adopter of the AlgoVoi substrate. It content-addresses the terms of a
spend authority (payer, cap, period, revocation_state) into a deterministic mandate_ref
using the substrate's canonical RFC 8785 JCS + SHA-256 hash. The canonicalisation base is
imported by hash and is not modified. This mandate_ref is the mandate_ref consumed by
AlgoVoi Spend Guardrail (lite).

This is the LITE (open, unsigned) tier. The commercial AlgoVoi Payment Mandate issues,
verifies, and authorises charges against Falcon-1024 (post-quantum) signed mandates,
checking every pull against the per-period cap.

Canonical conformance vectors: conformance/payment_mandate_lite_v1/vectors.json (mandate_1
and mandate_2 equal the mandate_1 / mandate_2 references in spend_guardrail_lite_v1).
