+	# attermann/microReticulum @ 0.3.0 + a small focused commit series of
+	# interop fixes (PKCS7 spec-correct padding, HMAC double-update,
+	# X25519 RFC 7748 scalar clamping). Each commit is upstream-PR-ready;
+	# the branch will roll forward as new fixes are surfaced and fold
+	# back into upstream once the PRs land.
