feat: specialized MST decoder + in-walk structure verification

decodeMstNode() parses known MST CBOR schema directly — zero-copy byte
slicing, no Value unions. walkAndVerifyMst checks key heights during
traversal instead of full rebuild. MST step: 218ms → 39ms (5.5x),
compute total: 300ms → 123ms (2.4x) on pfrazee.com (192k records).

MST walk calls it once per node (~50k nodes). this was the 79s → 48ms fix. 58 + 59 + **specialized MST decoder** — `decodeMstNode()` parses the known MST node CBOR schema directly (`map(2) { "e": array[...], "l": CID|null }`), avoiding the generic `cbor.decodeAll()` path that builds `Value` unions and `MapEntry` arrays. all byte data is zero-copy (slices into the input buffer). only allocation: the entries array. 60 + 61 + **in-walk structure verification** — instead of collecting all records and rebuilding the tree from scratch (192k `tree.put()` calls + serialize + hash), `walkAndVerifyMst` checks each key's `keyHeight()` against the node's expected layer during traversal. combined with the CAR parser's per-block SHA-256 CID verification (which proves data integrity), this is equivalent to a full rebuild for proving canonical structure. result: MST walk+rebuild went from 218ms → 39ms (5.5x). 58 62 59 - also exported the `jwt` module directly (not just the `Jwt` type) so the verify tool can call `jwt.verifySecp256k1` without reaching into internals, and made CAR size limits configurable (`max_size`, `max_blocks` in `readWithOptions`) for callers who need custom limits. 63 + **size limit fix** — `verifyRepo` now bypasses the default 2 MB / 10k block limits so large repos like pfrazee's 70 MB actually work. 60 64 61 65 the three-way comparison and chart tooling live in [atproto-bench](https://tangled.sh/@zzstoatzz.io/atproto-bench).
