/**
 * JCS-like canonical JSON encoder for the mesh membership protocol.
 *
 * **Spec**: plan/24-mesh-membership.md — "chaves ordenadas alfabeticamente +
 * separadores `,` e `:` sem espaços. Mesma regra em Dart, Rust, TypeScript."
 *
 * **Bit-compatibility contract** (must hold across the 3 implementations):
 *   - Object keys sorted lexicographically by UTF-16 code unit order
 *     (matches Dart's String compareTo, Rust's BTreeMap<String, _>, and
 *     JS's Array.prototype.sort() default).
 *   - No whitespace between any tokens.
 *   - Arrays preserve insertion order (caller's responsibility to sort if
 *     determinism across producers matters — verifier doesn't enforce).
 *   - Numbers serialized via JSON.stringify default (no trailing zeros).
 *     Mesh schema only carries integers (`version`, `issued_at`), so the
 *     fragile float-formatting space is avoided by design.
 *   - Strings UTF-8 encoded, JSON-escape rules per RFC 8259 (control chars
 *     and `\\`, `"` escaped; raw UTF-8 for printable code points). Matches
 *     `dart:convert.jsonEncode` and `serde_json::to_string` defaults.
 *   - `null` preserved; `undefined`/functions/symbols dropped (mirrors
 *     JSON.stringify).
 *
 * Verification path: receiver canonicalizes nothing — it verifies the
 * raw blob bytes as-received against the signature. This module is used
 * only on the *sender* side, and on the *test* side to construct fixtures
 * for `verify.test.ts`.
