Research direction

Start by reading the two review discussions linked from PR #178 to identify the requested SHA-512 improvements; the issue does not name any files or tests. Because development has moved to Mbed TLS, locate the corresponding implementation there and confirm the agreed changes and size savings before proceeding.
