Version-tab namespace key management how-to - #1511

Conversation
The offline root namespace key procedure referenced examples/10-offline-root-namespace-init, an example folder removed in Canton 3.5.1 once its contents were folded into the how-to. The wider procedure was also stale: the old prepare-certs.sh script name, NIST P-256 instead of Ed25519, and a malformed embedded Scala block carried over verbatim from upstream. Reconvert the how-to from the current upstream sources with tools/rst-to-mdx and split it by Canton version: - "Online Root Namespace Key" is unchanged across versions and stays shared (sourced from 3.5). - "Offline Root Namespace Key" is tabbed: "Canton 3.5" (current MainNet, TestNet, and DevNet) is the default; "Canton 3.4" is retained verbatim for nodes still on a pre-3.5 release, where the examples/10-offline-root-namespace-init reference was valid. Also fix auto-resolved cross-references (crypto schemes reference, KMS operations), add code-fence languages, and drop three now-orphaned namespace_key snippet imports. Trim the malformed Scala block in the 3.4 tab to its one coherent statement with a divergence note. Fixes #1357 Signed-off-by: 8bitpal <elias@zerolimit.es>

The surrounding "Offline Root Namespace Key" procedure was also stale relative to current Canton: the oldprepare-certs.shscript name (nowprepare-cert.sh+assemble-cert.sh), NIST P-256 key generation instead of Ed25519, and a malformed embedded Scala block carried over verbatim from the upstream 3.4 source.Change
Reconverted the how-to from the current upstream sources with
tools/rst-to-mdxand split it by Canton version:prepare-cert.sh/assemble-cert.sh, Ed25519, and the restructured flow. Noexamples/10-...reference.examples/10-offline-root-namespace-initreference, which was valid for that release.Each tab carries its own
COPIED_START/ENDmarkers pointing at the matching upstream version. Follows the repo's existing full-duplication tab pattern (synchronizer-traffic.mdx,validator-docker-compose.mdx).Editorial fixes on the converted content
