Key clamping in curve25519 not evident in generated key's binary representation I understand with curve25519 that the private key for secret.box is clamped...

I understand that this clamping process to clear the lower 3 bits in order to ensure the key is a multiple of 8, ensuring it's part of the right cyclic subgroup.

However, as I generate example keyPairs using sodium such as:

I noticed that despite being able to positively confirm they are part of the multiple of 8 subgroup, their binary representation does not have the lower three bits cleared...

So as you can see above, the binary representation of these random private keys doesn't have 000 for the lowest three bits. Yet when I check in SageMath, I can confirm both of these keys are multiples of 8.

Update:
I generated the keys using the libSodium->SecretBox->KeyPair()...

Which internally calls the clamping/scalar multiplication.

I also verified that despite not ending in three zeros (000) - the private keys are always of order 7237005577332262213973186563042994240857116359379907606001950938285454250989 and as such are of the correct subgroup.

Any idea why?
The clamping happens as part of the key agreement / signing procedure. The private key itself isn't clamped when stored.

(How did you test the numbers you have provided? None of them seem to be multiple of 8. Also recall that curve25519 keys are in little endian.)
