feat: WPA auto-detect, STA connectivity fix, lwip crash fix

- Add wifi_auth_mode config field (WPA2/WPA3) parsed from config.json
- Default to WPA2 (accepts both WPA2 and WPA3 networks)
- Replace hardcoded WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_PSK with runtime threshold mapping
- Reduce MINT_HEALTH_PROBE_INTERVAL_S from 300 to 30 for testing
- Add 3s delay before service start + 5s DNS stabilization for health probes
- Fixes lwip mem_free crash caused by concurrent HTTP at boot

Verified on hardware:
- STA connects to WPA2 home router (Got IP:192.168.2.16)
- All 4 mint health probes complete successfully
- API endpoints return correct data with reachable mint filtering
- 4/4 wallets initialized with real keysets from live mints

+# WPA Auto-Detect + STA Connectivity Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+`config.c:322` hardcodes `WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_PSK` as the STA auth threshold. The home
+router (`EnterSSID-2.4GHz`) uses **WPA2**, so the ESP32 silently refuses
+association and never gets internet. This blocks health probes, real payments,
+and all downstream testing.
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Runtime WPA Threshold (Firmware)
+
+Add `wifi_auth_mode` field to `tollgate_config_t`. Parse it from `config.json`
+as a string (`"WPA2"`, `"WPA3"`, `"WPA2_WPA3"`). Map to ESP-IDF
+`wifi_auth_mode_t` enum at runtime. Default to `WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK` which
+accepts both WPA2 and WPA3 networks.
+
+### 2. Makefile Auto-Detect (Build Time)
+
+Add Makefile targets that scan WiFi with `nmcli`, detect WPA2 vs WPA3, and
+generate a SPIFFS image with the correct `wifi_auth_mode` baked into
+`config.json`.
+
+### 3. Reduced Probe Interval (Testing)
+
+Temporarily reduce `MINT_HEALTH_PROBE_INTERVAL_S` from 300 to 30 so health
+probes actually fire during short board uptime windows.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `main/config.h` | Add `wifi_auth_mode` field to `tollgate_config_t` |
+| `main/config.c` | Parse `wifi_auth_mode` from config.json; use it in `tollgate_config_get_wifi()` |
+| `main/mint_health.h` | Reduce probe interval 300 → 30 |
+| `physical-router-test-automation/esp32/Makefile` | Add `_detect-wpa-security`, `generate-spiffs`, `flash-spiffs-{a,b,c}` targets |
+
+## Checklist
+
+### Firmware Changes
+- [ ] Add `wifi_auth_mode` string field (16 bytes) to `tollgate_config_t` in `config.h`
+- [ ] Parse `wifi_auth_mode` from `config.json` in `config.c` with default `"WPA2"`
+- [ ] Map `wifi_auth_mode` string to `wifi_auth_mode_t` in `tollgate_config_get_wifi()`
+- [ ] Remove hardcoded `WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_PSK` at `config.c:322`
+- [ ] Reduce `MINT_HEALTH_PROBE_INTERVAL_S` from 300 to 30 in `mint_health.h`
+
+### Makefile Auto-Detect
+- [ ] Add `_detect-wpa-security` target (nmcli scan → extract WPA mode for SSID)
+- [ ] Add `generate-spiffs` target (create config.json → spiffsgen.py)
+- [ ] Add `flash-spiffs-a`, `flash-spiffs-b`, `flash-spiffs-c` targets
+- [ ] Wire `flash-{a,b,c}` to auto-generate SPIFFS before flashing
+
+### Build & Test
+- [ ] Build firmware — `idf.py build` passes
+- [ ] Unit tests pass — `make test-unit`
+- [ ] Wait for board unlock (no force-unlock)
+- [ ] Lock board, flash firmware + SPIFFS
+- [ ] Verify STA connects via serial (`Got IP:192.168.x.x`)
+- [ ] Verify health probes fire and mints show `reachable: true`
+- [ ] Run integration test suite
+- [ ] Test 6 previously-skipped scenarios
+
+### Commit
+- [ ] Commit all changes with descriptive message
+- [ ] Push when Nostr relay recovers
