def _clamp_scalar(k: bytes) -> bytes:
"""
Clamp a 32-byte scalar for X25519.
This applies the standard X25519 clamping to ensure the scalar
is in the correct form for elliptic curve operations.
Note: MeshCore private keys are already clamped (they store the post-SHA-512
scalar directly rather than a seed). Clamping is idempotent, so this is safe.

def derive_public_key(private_key: bytes) -> bytes:
"""
Derive the Ed25519 public key from a MeshCore private key.
**MeshCore Key Format:**
MeshCore stores a non-standard Ed25519 private key format:
- First 32 bytes: The scalar (already post-SHA-512 and clamped)
- Last 32 bytes: The signing prefix (used during signature generation)
Standard Ed25519 libraries expect a 32-byte seed and derive the scalar via
SHA-512. Using `SigningKey(private_bytes)` will produce the WRONG public key.
To derive the correct public key, we use direct scalar × basepoint multiplication
with the noclamp variant (since the scalar is already clamped).

private_key: 64-byte MeshCore private key (or just the first 32 bytes)

Derive ECDH shared secret from Ed25519 keys.
MeshCore uses Ed25519 keys, but ECDH requires X25519. This function:

2. Converts their Ed25519 public key to X25519
3. Performs X25519 scalar multiplication to get the shared secret
**MeshCore Key Format:**
MeshCore private keys store the scalar directly (not a seed), so the first
32 bytes are already the post-SHA-512 clamped scalar. See `derive_public_key`
for details.
