 Add WebAuthn conditional mediation (passkey autofill) support.
 
-- `WebAuthn.authenticate(step, mediation?, signal?)` forwards `mediation` and `signal` to `navigator.credentials.get`.
-- When `mediation` is `'conditional'`, an `AbortSignal` is required.
+- `WebAuthn.authenticate(step, signal?)` derives mediation from WebAuthn metadata (`meta.mediation`).
+- When `meta.mediation` is `'conditional'`, an `AbortSignal` is used (caller-provided if present, otherwise created by the SDK).
 - If conditional mediation is requested but not supported, `authenticate()` throws `NotSupportedError` (and the existing error handling sets the hidden outcome to `unsupported`).
 - Adds `WebAuthn.isConditionalMediationSupported()` helper, docs, and unit tests.
