feat: Bump xxHash to 0.8.4 and use new CMake subdirectory

[matellush]

I noticed that xxHash recently had its CMake subdirectory path changed with a new release. This PR bumps xxHash to the new version and updates SOURCE_SUBDIR to the correct path to hopefully avoid future build issues.

The xxHash dependency pin changes from version 0.8.3 to 0.8.4. The CMake fetch configuration, launcher dependency check, and third-party notice are updated.

Changes

xxHash dependency update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update xxHash dependency pin aurora-main/extern/CMakeLists.txt, Launcher/Prepare-Dependencies.ps1, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md	CMake fetches xxHash 0.8.4 with an updated hash and source directory. The launcher check and third-party notice reference version 0.8.4.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 38541

This change moves xxHash to 0.8.4 and updates the build configuration, launcher pin, and license notice to match. One open concern is that the launcher's offline dependency preparation may extract the xxHash archive without checking its SHA-256. The owner should confirm whether that check exists; otherwise the version bump is low risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 38541

The update keeps the declared dependency version aligned across build, launcher, and notice files, but an existing local dependency directory can prevent the launcher from installing the newly pinned version.

Retained concerns

• Low · architecture · observed: The launcher advances the xxHash archive pin but reuses the version-neutral dependencies\xxhash extraction target whenever it already exists, so an earlier extracted release can remain effective instead of the newly declared 0.8.4 dependency.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — The effective scope is limited by available evidence to the launcher-managed xxHash archive cache and extraction path; no new service, public entry point, infrastructure authority, or deployment edge is evidenced.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — A retained security finding identifies unauthenticated archive bytes reaching extraction, but comparison with the base revision shows that the PR preserves rather than introduces or broadens this path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The current control establishes declaration and URL consistency, not authenticity of downloaded or cached archive content before extraction.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The target-directory short-circuit can strand an older dependency version across repeated executions, weakening the operational guarantee that the declared dependency pin is the version in use.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Bind the extraction target or its metadata to the declared archive version and replace or reject stale targets before treating the dependency as prepared.
• proposed — Authenticate downloaded and cached archive bytes with a trusted digest or signature before extraction.
