_CliEventVerifier no longer falls back to Bip340 when the native library is
missing.
_isNativeLibraryLoadError (packages/ndk/lib/src/cli/ndk_cli_app.dart#L249-L253)
still matches on the old symbol name:
return message.contains('dynamic library') ||
message.contains('verify_nostr_event') ||
message.contains('failed to load');Since this PR renames the export to verify_schnorr_signature_packed, the
actual ArgumentError thrown on a missing symbol is now:
Invalid argument(s): Failed to lookup symbol 'verify_schnorr_signature_packed': dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, verify_schnorr_signature_packed): symbol not found
None of the three substrings match: it says "failed to lookup", not "failed to
load", and "dlsym", not "dynamic library". So line 242 rethrows instead of
enabling the fallback, and the CLI crashes on any machine without the dylib
rather than degrading to the pure Dart verifier.
Matching on "failed to lookup symbol" instead of the symbol name would also stop
this from silently breaking again on the next rename.

Define the workflow contexts used by the benchmark job.
The job defines neither env.FLUTTER_VERSION nor strategy.matrix. The Flutter action receives no configured version, and actionlint rejects matrix.architecture as undefined. Define FLUTTER_VERSION and remove architecture, or add a matching matrix strategy.

Narrow the generic failed to load match.
isNativeLibraryLoadError classifies any matching ArgumentError as a native-library failure. _CliEventVerifier.verify then enables the fallback instead of rethrowing it. Restrict the match to native-library-specific messages and add a regression test for ArgumentError('Failed to load event data').

Use a separate exact-sized buffer for the truncated-length case.
The first call passes packedLength - 10, but packed has oversizedLength bytes. A native implementation that ignores the explicit length can read all 256 packed bytes within the allocation and still return 0. The test would then miss the boundary bug.
Proposed test fix
- final packed = malloc<Uint8>(oversizedLength);
+ final truncatedPacked = malloc<Uint8>(packedLength - 10);
