feat(seal): add cryptographic seal receipt and improve key derivation

Introduce a new cryptographic receipt for seals, providing verifiable proof of creation details. The receipt includes seal ID, blob hash, unlock time, creation time, and a signature, returned upon seal creation.

Enhance key derivation security by using a cryptographically secure random salt for the HKDF master key derivation. This prevents static salt vulnerabilities and improves overall key strength.

Additionally, correct the pulse interval unit in `updateUnlockTime` from seconds to milliseconds for accurate unlock time updates.
