// This file is the validated serialization boundary between parties. Crypto
// objects have unexported fields and cannot be JSON-marshaled directly, so they
// travel as decimal-string DTOs. Every decode routes group elements through the
// checked constructors (NewGqElement / NewZqElement), so a peer can never inject
// a value outside G_q or Z_q — this closes the small-subgroup / non-residue hole
// (finding M4) at the point where proofs and ciphertexts cross a trust boundary.
