Release v6.0-alpha: Layer 1 Zero-Copy Rust Kernel, Deterministic Ed25519 Identity & Full v4 CLI Command Suite

PR Summary

This pull request establishes the core foundation for Anchor Core v6.0-alpha, introducing a multi-threaded zero-copy Rust kernel backend (anchor_core_rs), deterministic local Ed25519 identity keypair generation, consent-driven CLI initialization, and code-centric governance reporting line-by-line across all 9 core domains, industry frameworks (FINOS, OWASP, NIST, OECD), and statutory regulations (RBI, EU AI Act, SEC, SEBI, CFPB, FCA).

Key Features & Architectural Changes

1. Deterministic Local Ed25519 Identity Generation (`src/scanner/crypto.rs`)

Purged Legacy Insecure Default Keys: Replaced the legacy "default-key" string fallback with deployment-sovereign asymmetric Ed25519 keypair generation during anchor init.
Key Storage Hierarchy:
- .anchor/keys/ed25519_private.pem: Local private key (chmod 0600, auto-ignored by Git).
- .anchor/keys/ed25519_public.pem: Project public key (committed to Git for signature verification).
Constant-Time Verification: Uses subtle::ConstantTimeEq to prevent side-channel timing attacks during Decision Audit Chain (DAC) signature validation.

2. Multi-Threaded Zero-Copy Rust Scanning Kernel (`anchor_core_rs`)

Parallel Directory Walker: Uses rayon and memmap2 for zero-copy buffer scanning (~1.8M lines/sec).
0-Byte File Safety: Implemented explicit metadata file length checks before memory mapping to prevent runtime panics on 0-byte files.
Code-Centric Line-by-Line Reporting: Scans target source code files (.py, .ts, .tsx, .js, .go, .rs) line-by-line and records exact file_path:line_number locations and offending code lines.
Aggregated Multi-Jurisdiction Rules: Groups multiple rule matches on the same line of code into a single consolidated finding (e.g. Rules: [SEC-002, OWASP-LLM06, EU-ART12]).

3. Consent-Driven Developer UX (`anchor init`)

Explicit developer consent prompt before updating .gitignore (.anchor/cache/ & private key only).
Explicit developer consent prompt before installing Git pre-commit hooks (automatically backs up existing hooks to .git/hooks/pre-commit.bak).
Optional AnimusLab Identity Registry public registration prompt ([y/N], default N for 100% offline open-source privacy).
Non-interactive --no-prompt flag for CI/CD automation.

4. Full v4 Command Suite Port (`anchor/cli.py`)

anchor init: --domains, --frameworks, --regulators, --all, --no-prompt, --gitignore, --hook, --hub-key, --project-key.
anchor check .: Universal static audit reporting across human, json, and markdown formats.
anchor check verify-sync: Three-way mitigation catalog integrity verification.
anchor check drift: Architectural drift analysis across git symbol history.
anchor sync --restore: Authoritative remote governance rule sync.
anchor heal --apply: Automated in-place code patching for fixable governance violations.

5. Persistent Report & Violation Logging

Writes detailed findings, statutory references, and formatted python diff remediation snippets to:
- .anchor/reports/governance_audit.md
- .anchor/reports/governance_report.json
- .anchor/violations/governance_violations.txt
Keeps stdout terminal output clean, readable, and focused on core verification status.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces the v6.0.0-alpha foundation for Anchor Core by adding a Rust (PyO3) “core kernel” for scanning/auditing, adding Python CLI and runtime guard integrations, and shipping an expanded governance catalog of .anchor rule/framework files.

Changes:

Added a Rust anchor_core_rs PyO3 module implementing payload auditing, parallel directory scanning, crypto helpers, and a basic remediation graph.
Replaced/expanded the Python CLI (anchor/cli.py) with init, check, sync, and heal flows plus repo-local .anchor/ setup.
Added governance catalogs (domains/frameworks/regulators) and supporting Python components (guard, telemetry, ledger sync worker), plus basic tests and ignore files.

anchor/server/telemetry.py:33

timestamp_utc is set to asyncio.get_event_loop().time(), which is a monotonic clock value (not UTC, not even epoch-based). Clients expecting a real UTC timestamp will get an unusable number.
tests/test_layer2_guard.py:19
This test also lacks assertions for the blocked path. Since guard() returns a structured self-healing dict on violations, the test should validate the expected shape/status.
