//! Epoch certificate โ€” end-to-end proof that consensus finalized the live graph
//! for one epoch and (optionally) settled rewards.
//!
//! Binds:
//! - tip (height, root) via local tip trust or fold seal
//! - claims_root + outer VDF beacon
//! - optional ฯ†* SpMV proof for a domain graph slice
//! - optional settle receipt + ticket/fold seals + marginal replay capability
//!
//! `verify_epoch_cert` is what light/full nodes check before trusting settle mint.
