feat: derive persona uses the reserved nostr:persona: namespace#12
Merged
Conversation
`derive persona <name>` previously aliased a raw path (purpose "<name>"). It now derives purpose `nostr:persona:<name>` per PROTOCOL v1.1 §3.1, so a persona reproduces byte-for-byte across signet, the library, and the hardware signer. Adds a `--persona` flag honoured by export and prove, persona-aware "Try next" hints, help documentation, and a one-time stderr migration note. Raw `derive path` (and `derive account`) are unchanged, so existing raw-purpose identities still reproduce exactly. BREAKING CHANGE: `derive persona <name>` now resolves to purpose nostr:persona:<name> instead of the raw purpose <name>. Any persona minted under the old behaviour is reproduced with `derive path <name>`.

What
derive persona <name>now derives purposenostr:persona:<name>(PROTOCOL v1.1 §3.1, forgesworn/nsec-tree#23) instead of silently aliasing a raw path. Adds:--personaflag honoured byexportandprove--persona)derive path(andderive account) stay raw — existing raw-purpose identities reproduce exactly (export npub pallasiteis unchanged).derive persona <name>changes output (it was a silent raw alias). Anyone who minted a persona under the old behaviour reproduces it withderive path <name>. MarkedBREAKING CHANGE:for semantic-release.Why
So a persona derived in the CLI matches signet, the library, and the hardware signer byte-for-byte. Companion PRs: forgesworn/nsec-tree#23 (spec) and heartwood-esp32.
