/**
* DC-147: Named root CA with critical name constraints.
*
* Builds on the existing DashCA pipeline (routes/ca.js): a setup flow that
* generates the operator-chosen root CA CN pinned to the private TLD via a
* CRITICAL nameConstraints extension (permittedSubtrees DNS:<tld>), leaf
* compliance assertions (SAN / serverAuth EKU / ≤398-day validity, iOS 13+
* requirements per PRIVATE-NETWORK-SPEC §7), and encrypted root-key backup.
*
* Renaming a CA means a brand-new root + a guided re-trust on every device,
* so setupNamedRootCA() is locked once a root exists: it refuses to run again
* unless the caller passes { force: true, confirmName: <existing CN> }.
