test: migrate to TestRelay fixture pattern and add compliance docs

- Remove unnecessary 'nix' dev dependency (Unix syscalls crate, not needed)
- Migrate announcement tests to new TestRelay fixture pattern
- Delete legacy test files (announcement_tests.rs, test_relay.sh)
- Add comprehensive test documentation (docs/how-to/test-compliance.md)
- Update README.md with new test commands
- All 18 integration tests passing (NIP-01 + NIP-34)

Benefits:
- Automatic relay lifecycle management
- No manual setup required
- Pure Rust integration tests
- Better developer experience
- CI/CD ready

+# How to Test GRASP Compliance
+
+**Purpose:** Guide for running compliance tests against ngit-grasp relay  
+**Audience:** Developers, contributors, CI/CD maintainers  
+**Category:** How-To (task-oriented)
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide shows you how to run GRASP protocol compliance tests for the ngit-grasp relay. We have two test suites:
+
+1. **Integration Tests** - Built into ngit-grasp, test core functionality
+2. **GRASP Audit Tool** - Standalone compliance checker for any GRASP relay
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run all integration tests (automatic relay management)
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance --test nip34_announcements
+
+# Run NIP-01 compliance tests only
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance
+
+# Run NIP-34 announcement tests only
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip34_announcements
+
+# Run with detailed output
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance -- --nocapture
+```
+
+**No manual setup needed!** Tests automatically start and stop relay instances.
+
+---
+
+## Integration Tests
+
+### What They Test
+
+**NIP-01 Compliance (`tests/nip01_compliance.rs`)**
+- Basic WebSocket connectivity
+- Event publishing and subscription
+- REQ/EVENT/CLOSE message handling
+- Filter-based event queries
+- Relay connection lifecycle
+
+**NIP-34 Announcements (`tests/nip34_announcements.rs`)**
+- Repository announcement acceptance (kind 30617)
+- Repository state event acceptance (kind 30618)
+- Clone URL validation
+- Relay URL validation
+- Domain matching
+- Multi-branch state events
+- Event queries by kind and tags
+
+### Test Architecture
+
+All integration tests use the **TestRelay fixture pattern**:
+
+```rust
+use crate::common::relay::TestRelay;
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_something() {
+    // Automatic relay startup on random port
+    let relay = TestRelay::start().await;
+    
+    // Test code here
+    // ...
+    
+    // Automatic cleanup when relay drops
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Automatic relay lifecycle management
+- ✅ Random port allocation (no conflicts)
+- ✅ Isolated test environments
+- ✅ Automatic cleanup on test completion
+- ✅ No manual relay management needed
+
+### Running Specific Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run a specific test by name
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance test_nip01_smoke
+
+# List all tests without running
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip34_announcements -- --list
+
+# Run tests matching a pattern
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip34_announcements test_accepts
+```
+
+### Test Output
+
+```bash
+$ nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance
+
+running 6 tests
+test test_nip01_smoke ... ok
+test test_subscription ... ok
+test test_event_publishing ... ok
+test test_filter_queries ... ok
+test test_connection_lifecycle ... ok
+test test_relay_lifecycle ... ignored
+
+test result: ok. 5 passed; 0 failed; 1 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
+```
+
+---
+
+## GRASP Audit Tool
+
+### What It Does
+
+The `grasp-audit` tool is a standalone compliance checker that can test **any** GRASP relay (local or remote).
+
+**Located:** `grasp-audit/` subdirectory (separate Rust project)
+
+### Running the Audit Tool
+
+```bash
+# Enter the grasp-audit directory
+cd grasp-audit
+
+# Run against local relay
+nix develop -c cargo run -- --url ws://127.0.0.1:7000
+
+# Run against remote relay
+nix develop -c cargo run -- --url wss://relay.example.com
+
+# Run with verbose output
+nix develop -c cargo run -- --url ws://127.0.0.1:7000 --verbose
+```
+
+### What It Tests
+
+- NIP-01 basic relay functionality
+- NIP-34 repository announcement handling
+- GRASP-01 core service requirements
+- Domain validation
+- Event acceptance/rejection rules
+
+### Example Output
+
+```bash
+$ cd grasp-audit
+$ nix develop -c cargo run -- --url ws://127.0.0.1:7000
+
+GRASP Compliance Audit
+======================
+Relay: ws://127.0.0.1:7000
+
+✅ NIP-01: Basic Connectivity
+✅ NIP-01: Event Publishing
+✅ NIP-01: Subscriptions
+✅ NIP-34: Repository Announcements
+✅ NIP-34: State Events

+
+Summary: 6/6 tests passed
+Status: COMPLIANT
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Workflow
+
+### For Development
+
+**1. Quick Validation (after code changes)**
+```bash
+# Run all integration tests
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance --test nip34_announcements
+```
+
+**2. Deep Compliance Check (before release)**
+```bash
+# Start your relay
+nix develop -c cargo run
+
+# In another terminal, run audit tool
+cd grasp-audit
+nix develop -c cargo run -- --url ws://127.0.0.1:8080
+```
+
+### For CI/CD
+
+**Recommended CI pipeline:**
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/test.yml example
+test:
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+    - uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v22
+    - name: Run integration tests
+      run: nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance --test nip34_announcements
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- No external relay needed
+- Tests manage their own relay instances
+- Fast parallel execution
+- Clean isolation
+
+---
+
+## Test Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Tests use these environment variables (set automatically by TestRelay):
+
+- `NGIT_DOMAIN` - Domain for clone URL validation (auto-set to bind address)
+- `NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH` - Temporary directory for relay data
+- `RUST_LOG` - Logging level (optional, for debugging)
+
+**Example: Enable debug logging**
+```bash
+RUST_LOG=debug nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance -- --nocapture
+```
+
+### Test Data Locations
+
+Integration tests use temporary directories:
+
+```
+/tmp/ngit-test-XXXXXX/     # Relay data (auto-cleaned)
+  ├── events/              # Nostr events
+  └── git/                 # Git repositories (if tested)
+```
+
+**Cleanup:** Automatic when test completes (or on failure).
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Test Hangs or Times Out
+
+**Problem:** Test hangs waiting for relay to start
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check if port is already in use
+lsof -i :7000
+
+# Kill any stray relay processes
+pkill -f ngit-grasp
+
+# Re-run test
+nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance
+```
+
+### Connection Refused
+
+**Problem:** `Connection refused` error in tests
+
+**Cause:** Relay failed to start (check for port conflicts)
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Tests use random ports, but check for system issues
+netstat -tuln | grep LISTEN
+
+# Check relay logs
+RUST_LOG=debug nix develop -c cargo test --test nip01_compliance -- --nocapture
+```
+
+### Tests Pass Locally but Fail in CI
+
+**Problem:** CI environment differences
+
+**Common causes:**
+- Network restrictions (WebSocket blocked)
+- Insufficient resources (slow startup)
+- Missing dependencies
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Ensure Nix is installed in CI
+# Use longer timeouts for slow systems
+# Check CI logs for specific errors
+```
+
+### Audit Tool Can't Connect
+
+**Problem:** `grasp-audit` fails to connect to relay
+
+**Checklist:**
+1. Is the relay running? (`ps aux | grep ngit-grasp`)
+2. Is the URL correct? (ws:// for local, wss:// for remote)
+3. Is the port accessible? (`telnet 127.0.0.1 7000`)
+4. Check firewall rules
+
+---
+
+## Writing New Tests
+
+### Integration Test Pattern
+
+**1. Create test file in `tests/` directory**
+
+```rust
+// tests/my_new_tests.rs
+mod common;
+
+use common::relay::TestRelay;
+use tokio_tungstenite::connect_async;
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_my_feature() {
+    // Start relay
+    let relay = TestRelay::start().await;
+    
+    // Connect
+    let (mut ws, _) = connect_async(relay.ws_url())
+        .await
+        .expect("Failed to connect");
+    
+    // Test your feature
+    // ...
+    
+    // Cleanup automatic when relay drops
+}
+```
+
+**2. Run your test**
+```bash
+nix develop -c cargo test --test my_new_tests
+```
+
+### Adding to Audit Tool
+
+**1. Edit `grasp-audit/src/main.rs`**
+
+Add your test function following existing patterns.
+
+**2. Test it**
+```bash
+cd grasp-audit
+nix develop -c cargo run -- --url ws://127.0.0.1:7000
+```
+
