feat: relay hardening — restore build, add tests, negentropy adapter

Restores build broken by eeb9d2d (cvm-relay-stability removed deps):
- CMakeLists.txt: restore display.c, font.c, local_relay.c, relay_selector.c, sync_manager.c, axs15231b, qrcode, wisp_relay
- tollgate_main.c: restore display.h, local_relay.h, relay_selector.h, sync_manager.h includes and display calls
- cvm_server.c: kept master's keepalive/timeout/ping-pong fixes

New test infrastructure:
- test-local-relay, test-relay-nip11, test-cvm-roundtrip, test-cvm-mcp, test-cross-board make targets
- test-cvm-roundtrip.mjs: MCP get_config + get_balance via public relay
- test-cross-board.mjs: cross-board payment test
- test-cvm-mcp-relay.mjs: kept from master

New unit tests (35 tests):
- test_display.c: 22 tests for escape_wifi_field
- test_negentropy_adapter.c: 13 tests for negentropy adapter

New modules:
- negentropy_adapter.c/h: NIP-77 adapter skeleton

Docs:
- AGENTS.md: display module docs, new test commands
- RELAY_HARDENING_PLAN.md: hardening checklist
- RELAY_HARDENING_MERGE.md: merge plan and checklist

Cleanup:
- Removed CHECKLIST-CVM-RELAY.md, PLAN-SQUASH-MERGE.md (stale planning docs)
- Removed components/esp-miner submodule

Host unit tests: 63/63 pass

-# Squash + Merge Plan: feature/cvm-relay-stability → master
-
-## Goal
-Squash the 4 commits on `feature/cvm-relay-stability` into a single commit and
-fast-forward merge into master. All tasks are complete and tested (17/17
-integration tests, 61/61 unit tests, 120s stable relay connection on Board B).
-
-## Checklist
-- [x] Write this plan to markdown
-- [x] Rebase `feature/cvm-relay-stability` onto master
-- [x] Squash 4 commits into 1
-- [x] Fast-forward merge into master
-- [x] Run `make test-unit` — 61/61 pass
-- [x] Push master to remote
-- [x] Remove worktree `/home/c03rad0r/esp32-tollgate-cvm-relay`
-- [x] Delete local branch `feature/cvm-relay-stability`
-- [x] Delete stale backup branches (`backup/master-2cd372c`, `backup/pre-squash-cvm-20260519-010933`, `feature/local-relay-backup`)
-
-## Squash commit message
-```
-feat: CVM relay stability fix + MCP relay integration tests
-
-Relay disconnect fix:
-- TLS read timeout reduced from 15s to 1s (short poll loop)
-- Ping timer fires every 30s independently of read activity
-- Consecutive timeout counter (65s) detects real disconnects
-- Handle relay close frames (opcode 0x08) explicitly
-- Result: 120s+ stable connection (previously ~37s disconnect cycle)
-
-MCP relay integration tests (17/17 pass via `make test-cvm-mcp`):
-- MCP initialize roundtrip via relay.primal.net
-- get_sessions returns session array (0 active)
-- get_usage returns metric/price/step fields
-- Non-owner auth rejection (board silently drops)
-- Owner control request passes after rejection test
-
-Build fixes:
-- Remove display/font/axs15231b deps (from display branch, not in this tree)
-- Add esp_timer to CMakeLists REQUIRES
-
-Host unit tests: 61/61 pass

+# Relay Hardening Merge Plan
+
+## Problem
+
+Master at `abee221` is **broken** — the `eeb9d2d` commit (from cvm-relay-stability worktree) removed display/relay CMakeLists entries and tollgate_main includes because that worktree didn't have those modules. The hardening branch at `8d58cef` was based on `81f2dc5` which has the correct complete set.
+
+### Branch State
+
+| Branch | HEAD | Based On | Status |
+|--------|------|----------|--------|
+| `master` | `abee221` | — | Broken (missing CMakeLists entries) |
+| `feature/relay-hardening` | `8d58cef` | `81f2dc5` | 7 commits, all unit tests pass |
+| `81f2dc5` | Original relay squash-merge | — | Last known-good build |
+
+### What `eeb9d2d` broke on master
+- Removed `display.c`, `font.c`, `local_relay.c`, `relay_selector.c`, `sync_manager.c` from `main/CMakeLists.txt` SRCS
+- Removed `axs15231b`, `qrcode`, `wisp_relay` from REQUIRES
+- Removed `display.h`, `local_relay.h`, `relay_selector.h`, `sync_manager.h` includes from `tollgate_main.c`
+- Removed `display_init()` and `display_set_state()` calls from `tollgate_main.c`
+- BUT kept `relay_selector_t`, `sync_manager_t`, `local_relay_*()` calls that reference these modules
+
+### What `eeb9d2d` improved on master
+- CVM server WS keepalive (ping/pong every 30s)
+- TLS read timeout reduced from 15s to 1s
+- Consecutive timeout counter (65s) for disconnect detection
+- Relay close frame handling (opcode 0x08)
+- Added `test-cvm-mcp-relay.mjs` integration test
+- Added `CHECKLIST-CVM-RELAY.md`
+
+---
+
+## Strategy
+
+**Soft-reset squash**: Reset hardening branch to master, manually compose the correct index, single-commit merge via fast-forward.
+
+---
+
+## Checklist
+
+### Step 1: Backup
+- [x] Create backup tags
+- [x] Create backup branch `feature/relay-hardening-backup`
+
+### Step 2: Compose Final State
+- [ ] Soft-reset hardening worktree to master
+- [ ] Restore `main/CMakeLists.txt` from `81f2dc5` (has all source files and deps)
+- [ ] Restore `main/tollgate_main.c` from `81f2dc5` (has display + relay includes and calls)
+- [ ] Keep `main/cvm_server.c` from master (has keepalive/timeout fixes)
+- [ ] Keep `main/display.c` with non-static `escape_wifi_field`
+- [ ] Stage new files: `negentropy_adapter.c/h`, `test_display.c`, `test_negentropy_adapter.c`, `test-cvm-roundtrip.mjs`, `test-cross-board.mjs`, `RELAY_HARDENING_PLAN.md`
+- [ ] Stage updated files: `Makefile`, `AGENTS.md`, `tests/unit/Makefile`
+- [ ] Delete `CHECKLIST-CVM-RELAY.md`
+- [ ] Delete `PLAN-SQUASH-MERGE.md`
+- [ ] Keep `test-cvm-mcp-relay.mjs` (from master)
+- [ ] Keep `components/esp-miner` removed (from master)
+
+### Step 3: Verify
+- [ ] `git diff --cached --stat` matches expected file list
+- [ ] `git diff --cached -- main/cvm_server.c` shows master's keepalive version
+- [ ] `git diff --cached -- main/CMakeLists.txt` shows all source files restored
+- [ ] `git diff --cached -- main/tollgate_main.c` shows display + relay includes restored
+- [ ] No `components/esp-miner` in staged diff
+- [ ] `make test-unit` passes (all 63+ tests)
+
+### Step 4: Commit + Merge
+- [ ] Create single squash commit on hardening branch
+- [ ] Fast-forward merge to master
+- [ ] Push master to origin
+- [ ] Delete hardening worktree
+- [ ] Delete `feature/relay-hardening` branch
+
+---

+  - `negentropy_storage_init()` — wrap storage_engine event iterator
+  - `negentropy_get_items()` — iterate stored events, return (timestamp, event_id) pairs
+  - `negentropy_insert_items()` — insert reconciled events from remote
+- [ ] Modify `sync_manager.c` — add negentropy sync path alongside REQ-diff
+  - Detect NIP-77 support from relay_selector (NIP-77 flag)
+  - If primary supports NIP-77: use NEG_OPEN/NEG_MSG instead of REQ-diff
+  - If primary doesn't support NIP-77: fall back to REQ-diff
+- [ ] Add `tests/unit/test_negentropy_storage.c` — unit test with mock ID sets
+- [ ] Update `tests/unit/Makefile` with `test_negentropy_storage` target
+- [ ] Flash to Board B, verify sync with NIP-77 capable relay (orangesync)
+
+---
+
+## Hardware Access Rules
+
+**ALWAYS acquire board lock before any hardware access:**
+```bash
+# In physical-router-test-automation/esp32/
+make lock-b PHASE="relay integration testing"
+make lock-c PHASE="display testing"
+
+# Or via main repo
+make lock-b PHASE="cross-board payment test"
+```
+
+**Make targets that touch hardware MUST use board locks:**
+- All `flash-*` targets
+- All `test-*` targets that run against live boards
+- All `monitor-*` targets
+
+**Make targets that DON'T need locks:**
+- `test-unit` (host-only, no hardware)
+- `build` (compile only)
+- `cvm-pubkey` (read-only query)
+
+**Always release lock when done:**
+```bash
+make unlock-b

+## Board Reference
+
+| Board | Port | Factory MAC | SSID | AP IP | nsec | Use |
+|-------|------|-------------|------|-------|------|-----|
+| A | `/dev/ttyACM0` | `94:a9:90:2e:37:7c` | `TollGate-B96D80` | `10.185.47.1` | `9af47906...` | Primary test (WiFi broken) |
+| B | `/dev/ttyACM1` | `fc:01:2c:c5:50:50` | `TollGate-C0E9CA` | `10.192.45.1` | default | Relay + CVM testing |
+| C | `/dev/ttyACM3` | `20:6e:f1:98:d7:08` | TBD | TBD | TBD | Display testing |
+
+## Test Execution Order
+
+1. **No hardware needed:** `make test-unit` — verify all unit tests pass
+2. **Board B (lock required):** `make lock-b` → flash → CVM+relay tests → cross-board → `make unlock-b`
+3. **Board C (lock required):** `make lock-c` → flash → display tests → `make unlock-c`
+4. **No hardware:** documentation updates, AGENTS.md, CHECKLIST.md
+5. **OpenWRT (separate):** SSH checks, no board lock needed
+
+## Commit Strategy
+
+- Commit + push after each phase completes
+- Commit + push every time a test passes that previously didn't pass
+- Squash into single commit before merging back to master
