The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new 'Sign/Verify message' feature to Stack Wallet, letting users cryptographically sign messages with their wallet keys and verify signatures from others. It also corrects the message-prefix byte lengths for Dogecoin, Firo, and Namecoin so signatures match what other software expects. There is no clear security bug in the diff, but the signing code is new and touches private keys, so it deserves careful review.

Recommended action

Review the new signing path for safe key handling, ensure derivationPath is validated before use, confirm the message-prefix cleanup helper is correct for all coin variants, and test cross-compatibility of signatures against reference implementations for Dogecoin, Firo, and Namecoin.
