Update Tor to 0.4.8.21 with aggressive size optimization

- Update Tor from 0.4.8.17 to 0.4.8.21
- Update OpenSSL from 3.5.1 to 3.6.0
- Aggressive OpenSSL trimming to reduce binary size:
  - Remove post-quantum crypto (ML-DSA, ML-KEM, SLH-DSA, LMS)
  - Remove legacy ciphers (DES, RC2, RC4, RC5, IDEA, SEED, etc.)
  - Remove unused hashes (MD4, MDC2, Whirlpool, RIPEMD160)
  - Remove Chinese standards (SM2, SM3, SM4)
  - Remove certificate features (CMP, CT, RFC3779)
  - Remove GOST, binary EC curves, and other unused features
- Add --disable-module-pow to Tor configure
- Add -Wl,-dead_strip linker flag

Binary size reduction:
- iOS arm64: 17 MB → 14.2 MB (-16%)
- iOS simulator: 16 MB → 13.8 MB (-14%)
- macOS arm64: 16 MB → 13.8 MB (-14%)

- This xcframework is suitable for iOS and macOS targets that link the ObjectiveC wrappers as source (or use CocoaPods to bring them in).
**Component Versions**
- Tor: 0.4.8.17
- Tor: 0.4.8.21
- libevent: 2.1.12
- OpenSSL: 3.5.1
- OpenSSL: 3.6.0

**Build Environment**
@@ -22,24 +22,34 @@
- Install prerequisites from repo root: `brew bundle`
**Command Used**
- Minimal build (nolzma), with persistent logs: `./build-xcframework.sh -md`
- `-m` = minimal mode
- `-d` = keep build dir and logs under `build/`
- Minimal build (nolzma), size-optimized: `./build-minimal.sh`
- Build script located at: `~/Documents/vibe/Tor.framework-build/build-minimal.sh`
- Uses iCepa/Tor.framework as base, with custom size optimizations
- Outputs to: `~/Documents/vibe/Tor.framework-build/tor-nolzma.xcframework`
**What Minimal Mode Does**
- Targets: `iphoneos/arm64`, `iphonesimulator/arm64`, `macosx/arm64`.
- Disables LZMA in Tor (`--enable-lzma=no`) and removes zstd.
- Trims OpenSSL features: `no-zlib no-comp no-ssl3 no-tls1 no-tls1_1 no-dtls no-srp no-psk no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-engine no-ocsp`.
- Aggressive OpenSSL trimming (removes ~3MB per slice):
- Protocol: `no-ssl3 no-tls1 no-tls1_1 no-dtls`
- Legacy ciphers: `no-des no-rc2 no-rc4 no-rc5 no-idea no-seed no-camellia no-aria no-bf no-cast`
- Unused hashes: `no-md4 no-mdc2 no-whirlpool no-rmd160`
- Post-quantum: `no-ml-dsa no-ml-kem no-slh-dsa no-lms`
- Chinese standards: `no-sm2 no-sm3 no-sm4`
- Certificate features: `no-cms no-ts no-cmp no-ct no-rfc3779`
- Other: `no-gost no-ec2m no-siphash no-scrypt no-legacy no-dso no-dgram no-http`
- See build script for full list
- Tor client-only: `--disable-module-relay --disable-module-dirauth --disable-module-pow`
- Compiles with size-first flags: `-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections`; bitcode is not embedded.
- Statically links Tor, libevent, and OpenSSL into a single library per slice inside the framework.
- Copies public headers from Tor/libevent/OpenSSL into the framework `Headers` directory.
**Resulting Slices (approx sizes)**
- Folder size: ~73 MB (`tor-nolzma.xcframework`)
- Folder size: ~67 MB (`tor-nolzma.xcframework`)
- Binaries (non-fat, measured on this build):
- iOS arm64 (device): ~16.49 MB
- iOS arm64 (simulator): ~15.32 MB
- macOS arm64: ~15.60 MB
- iOS arm64 (device): ~14 MB
- iOS arm64 (simulator): ~13.8 MB
- macOS arm64: ~13.8 MB
Note: Sizes vary slightly by Xcode/SDK versions and environment.

- Vendor the ObjC sources from `Tor/Classes/CTor` and `Tor/Classes/Core` directly into your project.
**Rebuilding**
- Ensure prerequisites: `brew bundle`
- Minimal nolzma, iOS+sim+macOS: `./build-xcframework.sh -m`
- Logs (if `-d`): `build/*.log` and per-component logs like `build/libtor-nolzma-<sdk>-<arch>.log`
- Ensure prerequisites: `brew install automake autoconf libtool gettext`
- Clone iCepa/Tor.framework to `~/Documents/vibe/Tor.framework-build/`
- Run: `cd ~/Documents/vibe/Tor.framework-build && ./build-minimal.sh`
- Logs: `build/*.log` and per-component logs like `build/libtor-nolzma-<sdk>-<arch>.log`
- Copy output to project: `cp -R tor-nolzma.xcframework /path/to/bitchat/localPackages/Tor/Frameworks/`
**LZMA Tradeoff (for reference)**
- We measured that enabling LZMA adds roughly ~0.25 MB per slice to the binary on this setup. For a 3slice xcframework, expect ~0.70.8 MB more overall.
- If you want the LZMA variant with the same minimal trimming: `./build-xcframework.sh -Md` (outputs `tor.xcframework`).
**Key Flags (for auditing)**
- OpenSSL `./Configure` adds: `no-shared` and, in minimal modes, `no-zlib no-comp no-ssl3 no-tls1 no-tls1_1 no-dtls no-srp no-psk no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-engine no-ocsp`
- libevent `./configure`: `--disable-openssl --disable-samples --disable-regress --enable-static --disable-shared`
- OpenSSL `./Configure` (aggressive trimming):
- `no-shared no-zlib no-comp no-ssl3 no-tls1 no-tls1_1 no-dtls`
- `no-srp no-psk no-weak-ssl-ciphers no-engine no-ocsp no-cms no-ts`
- `no-idea no-seed no-camellia no-aria no-bf no-cast no-des no-rc2 no-rc4`
- `no-md4 no-mdc2 no-whirlpool no-rmd160 no-sm2 no-sm3 no-sm4`
- `no-siphash no-scrypt no-legacy no-dso no-dgram no-http`
- libevent `./configure`: `--disable-openssl --disable-samples --disable-libevent-regress --enable-static --disable-shared`
- Tor `./configure` (highlights):
- `--enable-pic --disable-module-relay --disable-module-dirauth --disable-unittests`
- `--enable-pic --disable-module-relay --disable-module-dirauth --disable-module-pow --disable-unittests`
- `--enable-static-openssl --enable-static-libevent`
- `--disable-asciidoc --disable-manpage --disable-html-manual --disable-zstd`
- `--enable-lzma=no` (in this build)
- Compiler flags: `-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections`; no bitcode
- Linker flags: `-Wl,-dead_strip`
- Minimum OS: iOS 12.0, macOS 10.13
