Summary

Align shell-sdk documentation with the current PQVM-native architecture.

Changes

  • Replace EVM-compatible headline with PQVM-native in README
  • Clarify PQTx fee-field comments (gas fields are scaffolded, not active)
  • Ensure no lingering references to deprecated EVM-compatible framing

Context

shell-chain v0.23.0 dropped 20-byte EVM addresses and confirmed ML-DSA-65 as the primary signing algorithm. The SDK documentation was still using the old headline; this PR brings it in sync.

- README: PQVM-native chain description
- src/transactions.ts: EIP-1559-style fee fields (not claiming ECDSA-based signing),
  Shell chain ID label instead of EIP-155, removed bare EIP-1559 and EIP-155 labels

Fixed in 13ce3ec. All three issues addressed: standardized chainId to EIP-155 chain ID (Shell Chain) in BuildTransactionOptions; removed -style suffix from fee-field docs for consistency with the constant declarations; added (scaffolded; not enforced by the chain) clarification to both maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas.

…-field JSDoc

- Standardize chainId description to 'EIP-155 chain ID (Shell Chain)' in
  BuildTransactionOptions (was 'Shell chain ID'), matching all other helpers
- Remove '-style' suffix from EIP-1559 fee field docs in BuildTransactionOptions
  for consistency with DEFAULT_MAX_FEE_PER_GAS / DEFAULT_MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_PER_GAS
- Add '(scaffolded; not enforced by the chain)' note to maxFeePerGas and
  maxPriorityFeePerGas fields to clarify gas fields are present in encoding
  but not yet active on-chain
- Update DEFAULT_TX_TYPE comment to explain fee-field scaffolding intent

* spec: align address format to 0x 64-char hex 32-byte

- Rewrite address.ts: BLAKE3(algo_id||pk) → 32 bytes, 0x hex display
- Remove bech32m/pq1 encoding; no version byte
- Rename: bytesToShellAddress, shellAddressToBytes, deriveShellAddressFromPublicKey, isShellAddress, normalizeShellAddress
- Keep legacy pq* aliases (deprecated) for callers during transition
- system-contracts.ts: system addresses now 32-byte big-endian (matching shell-chain)
- Update all src/*.ts: imports, comments, pq1 examples → 0x
- index.ts: export new Shell* names + legacy aliases

* docs: add self-contained AGENTS.md SSoT for AI agents (ShellDAO#16)

* docs: add self-contained AGENTS.md SSoT for AI agents

Add an AGENTS.md (and CLAUDE.md pointer) in this repository root that
serves as the single source of truth for AI coding agents working here.

The file is fully self-contained (no references to files outside this
submodule) and English-only (apart from one literal Chinese template
string for AI-attribution).

Cross-vendor: AGENTS.md is the native format for Codex, Copilot CLI;
CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/main.mdc, and .github/copilot-instructions.md
all point to AGENTS.md.

* chore(gitignore): ignore local AI/Agent state directories

Add a standard ignore block for AI/agent local caches, configs, and
scratch files (.claude/, .codex/, .cursor/, .antigravity/, .aider*,
.continue/, .roo/, .windsurf/, .copilot/, AGENTS.local.md, etc.).

The committed SSoT files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/agents/) remain
tracked — only ad-hoc local agent state is ignored.

* docs: fix system-contracts table, address exports, and error messages

Address three Copilot review comments on PR ShellDAO#17:

1. Fix malformed system-contracts table (3-column header with 2-column
   rows) — collapse to a clean 2-column Name/Address table with full
   32-byte literal addresses.

2. Fix normalizeShellAddress error example (lines 206, 737) to match
   the actual thrown message: 'expected 0x + 64-char hex address, got: …'

3. Fix system-contracts module reference: remove the non-existent
   validatorRegistryHexAddress / accountManagerHexAddress entries;
   document only the actual exports (validatorRegistryAddress /
   accountManagerAddress) with their full 32-byte canonical values;
   update the isSystemContractAddress example to use a 32-byte address.

Also fix stale error message in the error-handling table:
'expected 20 address bytes' → 'expected 32 address bytes' to match
address.ts:37.

* test: update fixtures and assertions for v0.23.0 0x address format

Replace all pq1/Bech32m address references in test fixtures and
assertions with valid 0x + 64-char hex Shell addresses. Update
keystore fixture address fields to match BLAKE3-derived canonical
addresses. Fix tampered-address test to produce a valid 64-char
hex address before mutation so the keystore address-mismatch guard
is exercised (not the format validator). Update rust-compat fixture
pq_address and transaction hash vectors for 32-byte address encoding.

* docs(sdk): scrub stale pq1 bech32m mentions from README/examples

Remove stale documentation and example references that implied pq1 bech32m was a valid current render.

Current v0.23.0-compatible APIs use BLAKE3-derived 32-byte Shell addresses rendered as 0x + 64 lowercase hex; deprecated Pq* aliases remain for API compatibility.
