Subject: [PATCH] fix: correct GLV constants and scalar_mul modular reduction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Fix GLV_MINUS_LAMBDA constant (d[1] and d[2] were incorrectly computed
  from Kotlin signed-to-unsigned conversion)
- Fix scalar_mul reduction: the carry from folding high limbs was silently
  dropped when the target position exceeded 4 limbs. Use proper row-based
  fold with carry propagation into higher positions
- Fix in-place gej_double aliasing: when r == p, the output overwrites the
  input during computation. Added explicit copy-on-alias

Verified working: pubkeyCreate, 2*G, (n-1)*G, ecmult for all scalar sizes.
Verify path still needs debugging (ecmult_double_g gives correct result for
simple cases but the full sign→verify round-trip has a hash/nonce mismatch).
