Subject: [PATCH] fix: restore rightmost-non-null leaf count for
 tree-validation compat

The RatchetTree leaf count must be computed from the rightmost non-null
node, not the total serialized node count. Tree-validation vectors
include trailing blank nodes that aren't part of the logical tree.

Test results: 36/41 passing (88%).

Remaining 5 failures:
- EncryptWithLabel: X25519 DH result discrepancy with test vector
- TreeOperations (2): tree_hash mismatch for trees with blank interior
  leaf slots (leaf count computation needs tree-topology-aware logic)
- TranscriptHash (2): needs AuthenticatedContent decomposition
