Harden wolfSSL and wolfSSH validation

Enable validated ECC imports and X25519 all-zero rejection through
PUBLIC build policy. Tighten wolfSSH parser bounds, overflow handling,
and signature framing with guard-page and crypto vector contracts.

## Phase 9D continuation — SSH parser / key validation — 2026-09-15
- Initial Git status clean; previous 9D work already retained. Current slice keeps managed pins and seven-source override mechanism unchanged. `tools/security_overrides.py` now bounds IGNORE/service/helper parsing, rejects window-add overflow, fixes ECC/Ed25519 label predicates, and enforces ECC nested r/s plus outer signature exact consumption and Ed25519 exact signature-field consumption. Password wipe/async and state ordering unchanged.
- `cmake/wolf_crypto_policy.*` PUBLIC-propagates `WOLFSSL_VALIDATE_ECC_IMPORT` and `WOLFSSL_ECDHX_SHARED_NOT_ZERO`, with fail-closed resolved guards. Verified prior P256 peer point reaches scalar multiplication without equivalent validation; nontrivial low-order X25519 inputs bypassed old precheck. Real vendor tests now reject these inputs. Evidence in `docs/ssh_key_validation_review.md`; generic digest/OID API hardening remains separate, no current short-digest trigger found in inspected callers.
- Parent `pio run` PASS **94,340 B linked RAM / 1,768,949 B flash** (+1,732 flash vs prior9D). Strict crypto suite initially rejected concurrent parser changes; corrected independent exact-delta expectations, not weakened provenance. Final parent five suites PASS: `wolf_crypto_policy`, `wolfssh_parser_contract` (3,124 cases in each of two stack modes, six guard-removal mutations), `wolfssh_auth_contract`135cases, `ssh_protocol_policy`, `sdk_security_overrides --build-dir .pio/build/esp32-s3-devkitc-1-n16r8`. Independent review no scoped blockers; strict crypto/parser suites rerun PASS. Real vendor arithmetic tests and parser doubles remain separate, not live SSH transactions.
- **Ordering CVE-2025-14942 still unresolved.** Official registry queries returned404 for wolfSSH1.5.0/wolfSSL5.9.2; upstream releases exist, so a full upgrade requires deliberate pinned component integration. Temporary-only PR793/819/840/855/921 backport evaluation found manual context adaptation plus unresolved SendNewKeys WANT_WRITE / skipped SendExtInfo continuation and extInfoSent rekey semantics. No partial ordering/header-layout patch installed. Next choose coherent tested nonblocking source+header backport or upstream component integration; preserve all local auth/wiping/parser contracts. Full provenance/rekey/negative-order tests required. Details and official links in wolf review.
- Other remaining work: deferred parser/API applicability, release notices/source obligations, and whole-phase hardware validation. Review recommends a valid-but-inconsistent private/public ECC fixture and parser-to-real-crypto integration gate. No hardware/latency/resource/handshake claims, no device operations/assets/upgrades/secure-boot/encrypted-NVS changes. Do not mark Phase9 complete or require intermediate hardware signoff.
## Phase 9D — advisory mitigation / operational review — 2026-09-15
- Work in progress; user validates Phase 9 as a whole. Secure boot/encrypted NVS excluded. No device operations or dependency upgrades.
