feat(grasp-audit): improve test infrastructure and error handling

- Fix compilation error in test setup (use .expect() instead of ?)
- Add comprehensive error messages with troubleshooting guidance
- Implement connection verification in AuditClient with retry logic
- Update AGENTS.md with testing troubleshooting section
- Verify all changes: 4/18 tests passing as expected

Error messages now include:
- Specific context about failures (event IDs, repo IDs, URLs)
- Example commands for resolution (docker, nak verification)
- References to helper scripts (test-ngit-relay.sh)

Tests compile cleanly and run successfully against ngit-relay.

+### Quick Test Verification
+
+To verify GRASP-01 compliance tests are working correctly:
+
+```bash
+cd grasp-audit && RELAY_URL="ws://localhost:18081" nix develop -c cargo test --lib test_grasp01_nostr_relay_against_relay -- --ignored --nocapture 2>&1 | tail -60
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+- 2-3 tests passing
+- 15 tests showing "Not implemented yet"
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Buffer Size Errors:**
+If you see mpsc channel buffer size panics on first test run, this is usually transient. Simply run the tests again.
+
+**Verify Relay is Running:**
+Check if relay is accessible before running tests:
+```bash
+nak req -l 1 ws://localhost:18081  # Replace port with your chosen port
+```
+
+**Port Conflicts:**
+Always use a random available port to avoid conflicts with existing services. If a port is busy, choose a different one for docker.
