Phase 4: TollGate client detection + auto-payment

- New tollgate_client.c/h: detect upstream TollGate (kind=10021),
  auto-pay via nucula wallet, session monitoring with 20% renewal
- State machine: IDLE→DETECTING→NEEDS_PAY→PAYING→PAID→RENEWING
- Blocking: upstream payment before local services start
- Synchronous wallet init (was async task)
- Client config: enabled, steps_to_buy, renewal_threshold_pct
- Updated PLAN.md with Phases 4-7 (client, payout, bytes, CVM)
- Updated CHECKLIST.md with all new phase items
- 30 new unit tests (all passing), 116 total

-## Phase 4: ESP32-to-OpenWRT TollGate Interop — NOT STARTED
-- [ ] ESP32 pays OpenWRT TollGate using Cashu tokens
-- [ ] Interoperability testing with existing OpenWRT TollGate on enx00e04c683d2d
+## Phase 4: ESP32 TollGate Client Detection + Auto-Payment — IN PROGRESS
+
+### tollgate_client.c/h (New)
+- [ ] Create `tollgate_client.h` — types: `tollgate_discovery_t`, `tollgate_client_state_t` enum (IDLE/DETECTING/NEEDS_PAY/PAYING/PAID/RENEWING)
+- [ ] Create `tollgate_client.c` — detection, payment, monitoring, state machine
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_detect(gw_ip)` — HTTP GET `http://{gw}:2121/`, parse kind=10021, extract price tags
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_pay(gw_ip, amount_sats)` — `nucula_wallet_send()` → POST to upstream → parse kind=1022/21023
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_on_sta_connected()` — extract gw from DHCP, detect, pay (blocking)
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_tick()` — GET `/usage`, renew at 20% remaining
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_on_sta_disconnected()` — reset state
+- [ ] `tollgate_client_get_usage(gw_ip)` — GET `/usage` → parse remaining/total
+
+### Config Changes
+- [ ] Add to `config.h`: `client_enabled`, `client_steps_to_buy`, `client_renewal_threshold_pct`, `client_retry_interval_ms`
+- [ ] Parse new fields in `config.c`
+
+### Integration (tollgate_main.c)
+- [ ] Make wallet init synchronous (call `nucula_wallet_init()` directly, not as task)
+- [ ] Add `tollgate_client_on_sta_connected()` in `ip_event_handler` (blocking, before `start_services()`)
+- [ ] Add `tollgate_client_on_sta_disconnected()` in `wifi_event_handler`
+- [ ] Add `tollgate_client_tick()` in main loop
+- [ ] Update `main/CMakeLists.txt` — add `tollgate_client.c`
+
+### Unit Tests
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_tollgate_client.c` — discovery parsing, price extraction, state machine, renewal threshold
+- [ ] All unit tests passing
+
+### Integration Tests
+- [ ] ESP32→OpenWRT auto-payment (Scenario 4)
+- [ ] ESP32→ESP32 auto-payment (Scenario 5, needs Board B)
+
+### Test Cases 39-43
+- [ ] Test 39: Client detection (kind=10021 parse)
+- [ ] Test 40: Client payment flow (mock HTTP)
+- [ ] Test 41: Session renewal (20% threshold)
+- [ ] Test 42: ESP32→OpenWRT auto-pay
+- [ ] Test 43: ESP32→ESP32 auto-pay
+
+## Phase 5: Lightning Auto-Payout — NOT STARTED
+
+### lnurl_pay.c/h (New)
+- [ ] Create `lnurl_pay.h` — `lnurl_get_invoice(lightning_address, amount_sats, bolt11_out, out_size)`
+- [ ] Create `lnurl_pay.c` — GET `.well-known/lnurlp/{user}` → parse callback → GET callback with amount → extract BOLT11
+
+### lightning_payout.c/h (New)
+- [ ] Create `lightning_payout.h` — `payout_recipient_t`, config, init/tick API
+- [ ] Create `lightning_payout.c` — periodic balance check, threshold, multi-recipient split, melt with retry
+
+### nucula Bridge Extension
+- [ ] Add `nucula_wallet_melt(bolt11, max_fee_sats)` to `nucula_wallet.h/cpp`
+- [ ] Wraps `Wallet::request_melt_quote()` + `Wallet::melt_tokens()` (NUT-05)
+
+### Config Changes
+- [ ] Add payout config to `config.h`: `payout_enabled`, `min_payout_amount`, `min_balance`, `fee_tolerance_pct`, `check_interval_s`, `recipients[]`
+- [ ] Parse payout config in `config.c`
+
+### Integration (tollgate_main.c)
