feat(sdk-coin-iota): add MPCv2 signed hot recovery support

[Marzooqa]

Summary

• Adds MPCv2 signed hot recovery support to Iota.recover(), alongside the existing MPCv1 path (auto-detected, no new params)
• Detects MPCv1 (JSON) vs MPCv2 (CBOR) keycard format via EDDSAUtils.isEddsaMpcV1SigningMaterial and dispatches signing accordingly, mirroring the SOL implementation (WCI-398)
• MPCv2 path uses EDDSAUtils.getEddsaMpcV2RecoveryKeySharesFromReducedKey + EDDSAUtils.signRecoveryEddsaMPCv2, validates commonKeyChain against bitgoKey, and wraps the resulting 64-byte signature in the existing SUI-style envelope (0x00 flag byte + 64-byte sig + 32-byte pubkey)
• recoverConsolidations() MPCv2 support is out of scope, tracked separately in WCI-1235

Test plan

• Native IOTA MPCv2 signed recovery — returns { serializedTx, scanIndex } with correctly-formed signature envelope
• Token MPCv2 signed recovery — routes to MPCv2 path, envelope applied correctly
• MPCv1 regression — unchanged signing path still exercised
• Mismatched bitgoKey vs keycard commonKeyChain — throws
• yarn unit-test (251 passing), tsc --noEmit, eslint all clean

Code Review for MPCv2 Signed Hot Recovery Support ✅

Todo List:

• Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
• Examine the main implementation in iota.ts
• Review test coverage and quality
• Check for consistency with existing patterns
• Provide comprehensive feedback

Overview

This PR successfully adds MPCv2 signed hot recovery support to the IOTA coin implementation. The changes follow the established pattern from SOL implementation and provide good backwards compatibility with MPCv1.

✅ Positive Aspects

Clean Architecture & Pattern Consistency

• Well-structured detection logic: The isMpcv2SigningMaterial() method cleanly detects keycard format once upfront, avoiding repeated decryption during address scanning
• Follows established patterns: Implementation mirrors the SOL coin approach (WCI-398), maintaining consistency across the codebase
• Proper abstraction: The signing logic is cleanly separated between MPCv1 and MPCv2 paths

Comprehensive Test Coverage

• Multiple test scenarios: Native IOTA recovery, token recovery, and MPCv1 regression testing
• Edge case handling: Tests for mismatched bitgoKey vs commonKeyChain validation
• Proper mocking: Uses sinon stubs effectively to isolate functionality
• Signature validation: Tests verify the 97-byte signature format (flag + signature + pubkey)

Security & Error Handling

• Input validation: Proper error handling for missing keys and passphrases
• Key mismatch detection: The implementation includes validation that commonKeyChain matches bitgoKey
• Backwards compatibility: MPCv1 path remains unchanged, ensuring no regression

🔍 Technical Implementation Details

Signature Format - iota.ts:887-890

const schemeFlag = Buffer.alloc(1, 0x00); // Ed25519 scheme
const publicKeyBytes = Buffer.from(derivedPublicKey, 'hex');
const fullSignature = Buffer.concat([schemeFlag, signatureBuffer, publicKeyBytes]);

The signature envelope follows the SUI-style format correctly: 0x00 flag byte + 64-byte signature + 32-byte public key.

MPCv2 Detection Logic - iota.ts:814-824

The detection method is efficient and follows the pattern:

const material = await getEddsaSigningMaterial(userKey.replace(/\s/g, ''), walletPassphrase, this.bitgo);
return material.version === 'v2';

💡 Minor Suggestions

Code Organization - iota.ts:308-309

The comment about detecting MPCv2 format "once up front" is helpful. Consider adding a brief comment explaining why this optimization matters (performance during address scanning).

Function Parameter Documentation - iota.ts:826-834

The signRecoveryTransaction method now has additional parameters. Consider adding JSDoc parameter documentation for the new isMpcV2 and bitgoKey parameters.

Test Consistency - iota.test.ts:742,819

The spy verification pattern sandBox.assert.notCalled(getTSSSignatureSpy) effectively validates that MPCv2 path doesn't use the old signing method.

📋 Verification Checklist

• ✅ MPCv2 keycard detection works correctly
• ✅ Signature envelope format matches specification (97 bytes)
• ✅ MPCv1 regression protection in place
• ✅ Token recovery supports MPCv2
• ✅ Error handling for key mismatches
• ✅ Comprehensive test coverage
• ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality

🎯 Conclusion

This is a well-implemented feature that adds MPCv2 support while maintaining backwards compatibility. The code follows established patterns, includes comprehensive tests, and handles edge cases appropriately. The implementation is ready for merge.

The PR successfully delivers on the requirements stated in WCI-1226 and provides a solid foundation for MPCv2 recovery operations in IOTA.

Code review — local review against the MPCv2 signed hot recovery quality bar established across DOT/POLYX/SUI/ADA. Both helpers (getEddsaSigningMaterial, signEddsaMpcV2RecoveryTx) are used correctly from @bitgo/sdk-core. MPCv1 regression test is present ✅.

1. Guard tests are in the wrong describe block

should handle error in recover function if a required field is missing lives in the MPCv1 describe('Recover Transactions:') block and uses MPCv1 key fixtures (keys.userKey, keys.backupKey). The describe('Recover Transactions (MPCv2):') block has zero guard tests — missing-field errors on the MPCv2 code path are untested.

Add to the MPCv2 describe:

• should throw 'missing userKey' with MPCv2 key fixtures when userKey is omitted
• should throw 'missing backupKey' with MPCv2 key fixtures when backupKey is omitted

---

2. No cryptographic signature verification

The MPCv2 native test validates envelope structure:

sigBuffer.length.should.equal(97);
sigBuffer[0].should.equal(0x00);

This confirms the envelope is well-formed but does not verify that the inner 64 bytes are a valid Ed25519 signature over unsignedTx.signablePayload for the derived public key. tweetnacl is available in sdk-coin-iota's package.json (IOTA is SUI-derived, same dep tree). The pattern from prior PRs:

const rawSig = sigBuffer.slice(1, 65);
const isValid = nacl.sign.detached.verify(
  new Uint8Array(signablePayload),
  new Uint8Array(rawSig),
  new Uint8Array(Buffer.from(derivedPublicKey, 'hex'))
);
isValid.should.be.true();
