Add enhanced subscription functionality with EOSE result modes

Working on Ginxsom auth and NIP 42 on a different computer at the same
time. My bad.

+This library is fully staticly linked. There should be no external dependencies.

+When building, use build.sh, not make. When building for tests use build.sh -t
+
+When making TUI menus, try to use the first leter of the command and the key to press to execute that command. For example, if the command is "Open file" try to use a keypress of "o" upper or lower case to signal to open the file. Use this instead of number keyed menus when possible. In the command, the letter should be underlined that signifies the command.
+
+When deleting, everything gets moved to the Trash folder.
+
+MAKEFILE POLICY: There should be only ONE Makefile in the entire project. All build logic (library, tests, examples, websocket) must be consolidated into the root Makefile. Do not create separate Makefiles in subdirectories as this creates testing inconsistencies where you test with one Makefile but run with another.
+
+TESTS POLICY: On the printout, dont just show pass or fail, show the expected values, and what the actual result was. If dealing with nostr events, print the entire json event. If dealing with relay communication, show the whole communication.

-# NOSTR Core Library - Automatic Versioning System
-
-## Overview
-
-The NOSTR Core Library now features an automatic version increment system that automatically increments the patch version (e.g., v0.2.0 → v0.2.1) with each build. This ensures consistent versioning and traceability across builds.
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Version Format
-The library uses semantic versioning with the format: `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
-
-- **MAJOR**: Incremented for breaking changes (manual)
-- **MINOR**: Incremented for new features (manual)  
-- **PATCH**: Incremented automatically with each build
-
-### Automatic Increment Process
-
-1. **Version Detection**: The build system scans all git tags matching `v*.*.*` pattern
-2. **Highest Version**: Uses `sort -V` to find the numerically highest version (not chronologically latest)
-3. **Patch Increment**: Increments the patch number by 1
-4. **Git Tag Creation**: Creates a new git tag for the incremented version
-5. **File Generation**: Generates `nostr_core/version.h` and `nostr_core/version.c` with build metadata
-
-### Generated Files
-
-The system automatically generates two files during each build:
-
-#### `nostr_core/version.h`
-```c
-#define VERSION_MAJOR 0
-#define VERSION_MINOR 2  
-#define VERSION_PATCH 1
-#define VERSION_STRING "0.2.1"
-#define VERSION_TAG "v0.2.1"
-
-#define BUILD_DATE "2025-08-09"
-#define BUILD_TIME "10:42:45"
-#define BUILD_TIMESTAMP "2025-08-09 10:42:45"
-
-#define GIT_HASH "ca6b475"
-#define GIT_BRANCH "master"
-
-// API functions
-const char* nostr_core_get_version(void);
-const char* nostr_core_get_version_full(void);
-const char* nostr_core_get_build_info(void);
-```
-
-#### `nostr_core/version.c`
-Contains the implementation of the version API functions.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Building with Auto-Versioning
-
-All major build targets automatically increment the version:
-
-```bash
-# Build static library (increments version)
-./build.sh lib
-
-# Build shared library (increments version)
-./build.sh shared
-
-# Build all libraries (increments version)
-./build.sh all
-
-# Build examples (increments version)
-./build.sh examples
-
-# Install to system (increments version)
-./build.sh install
-```
-
-### Non-Versioned Builds
-
-Some targets do not increment versions:
-
-```bash
-# Clean build artifacts (no version increment)
-./build.sh clean
-
-# Run tests (no version increment)
-./build.sh test
-```
-
-### Using Version Information in Code
-
-```c
-#include "version.h"
-
-// Get version string
-printf("Version: %s\n", nostr_core_get_version());
-
-// Get full version with timestamp and commit
-printf("Full: %s\n", nostr_core_get_version_full());
-
-// Get detailed build information  
-printf("Build: %s\n", nostr_core_get_build_info());
-
-// Use version macros
-#if VERSION_MAJOR >= 1
-    // Use new API
-#else
-    // Use legacy API
-#endif
-```
-
-### Testing Version System
-
-A version test example is provided:
-
-```bash
-# Build and run version test
-gcc -I. -Inostr_core examples/version_test.c -o examples/version_test ./libnostr_core.a ./secp256k1/.libs/libsecp256k1.a -lm
-./examples/version_test
-```
-
-## Version History Tracking
-
-### View All Versions
-```bash
-# List all version tags
-git tag --list
-
-# View version history
-git log --oneline --decorate --graph
-```
-
-### Current Version
-```bash
-# Check current version
-cat VERSION
-
-# Or check the latest git tag
-git describe --tags --abbrev=0
-```
-
-## Manual Version Management
-
-### Major/Minor Version Bumps
-
-For major or minor version changes, manually create the appropriate tag:
-
-```bash
-# For a minor version bump (new features)
-git tag v0.3.0
-
-# For a major version bump (breaking changes)  
-git tag v1.0.0
-```
-
-The next build will automatically increment from the new base version.
-
-### Resetting Version
-
-To reset or fix version numbering:
-
-```bash
-# Delete incorrect tags (if needed)
-git tag -d v0.2.1
-git push origin --delete v0.2.1
-
-# Create correct base version
-git tag v0.2.0
-
-# Next build will create v0.2.1
-```
-
-## Integration Notes
-
-### Makefile Integration
-- The `version.c` file is automatically included in `LIB_SOURCES`
-- Version files are compiled and linked with the library
-- Clean targets remove generated version object files
-
-### Git Integration
-- Version files (`version.h`, `version.c`) are excluded from git via `.gitignore`
-- Only version tags and the `VERSION` file are tracked
-- Build system works in any git repository with version tags
-
-### Build System Integration
-- Version increment is integrated directly into `build.sh`
-- No separate scripts or external dependencies required
-- Self-contained and portable across systems
-
-## Example Output
-
-When building, you'll see output like:
-
-```
-[INFO] Incrementing version...
-[INFO] Current version: v0.2.0
-[INFO] New version: v0.2.1
-[SUCCESS] Created new version tag: v0.2.1
-[SUCCESS] Generated version.h and version.c
-[SUCCESS] Updated VERSION file to 0.2.1
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Version Not Incrementing
-- Ensure you're in a git repository
-- Check that git tags exist with `git tag --list`
-- Verify tag format matches `v*.*.*` pattern
-
-### Tag Already Exists
-If a tag already exists, the build will continue with the existing version:
-
-```
-[WARNING] Tag v0.2.1 already exists - using existing version
-```
-
-### Missing Git Information
-If git is not available, version files will show "unknown" for git hash and branch.
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Automatic Traceability**: Every build has a unique version
-2. **Build Metadata**: Includes timestamp, git commit, and branch information  
-3. **API Integration**: Version information accessible via C API
-4. **Zero Maintenance**: No manual version file editing required
-5. **Git Integration**: Automatic git tag creation for version history

-### JavaScript Reference Implementation
-- `nostr-tools/` - JavaScript reference implementation used for comparison
-  - `nip04.ts` - TypeScript NIP-04 implementation
-  - `debug_nip04.js` - JavaScript debugging script
-
-## Files Kept (Essential Tests)
-
-### Core Functionality Tests
-- `nip04_test.c` - **Main comprehensive NIP-04 test** (our final working test)
-- `simple_init_test.c` - Basic library initialization test

-
-## Key Improvements Made
-
-### 1. Function Naming Clarity
-- Added `nostr_schnorr_sign()` - clearly indicates BIP-340 Schnorr signatures
-- Maintained `nostr_ec_sign()` as legacy wrapper for backward compatibility
-- **Benefit**: Prevents future confusion between ECDH and signature operations
-
-### 2. ECDH Compatibility Fix
-- Fixed ECDH implementation to match NIP-04 specification exactly
-- Custom hash function that extracts only X coordinate (no hashing)
-- **Result**: 100% compatible with JavaScript NOSTR ecosystem
-
-### 3. Memory Management
-- Fixed buffer overflow issues in NIP-04 decryption
-- Proper base64 buffer size calculations
-- Enhanced error handling and cleanup
-- **Result**: No more segmentation faults
-
-## Final Test Status
-
-```
-✅ nip04_test: PASS (Round-trip + Reference compatibility)
-✅ Memory management: Fixed (No segfaults)  
-✅ ECDH compatibility: 100% JavaScript ecosystem compatible
-✅ Function naming: Clear and unambiguous
-```
-
-## Space Savings
-- **Removed 9.8GB debug.log file**
-- Cleaned up 20+ debugging test files and executables
-- Organized debugging artifacts in Trash/debug_tests/ for easy reference
-
-## Secp256k1 Status
-- Checked for extra debugging code: **CLEAN**
-- All files are standard libsecp256k1 build artifacts
-- No cleanup needed
-
----
-
-**The NOSTR core library is now in a clean, production-ready state with fully functional NIP-04 encryption/decryption that's compatible with the broader NOSTR ecosystem!**

-# Exportable C NOSTR Library Design Guide
-
-This document outlines the design principles and structure for making the C NOSTR library easily exportable and reusable across multiple projects.
-
-## Overview
-
-The C NOSTR library is designed as a modular, self-contained implementation that can be easily integrated into other projects while maintaining compatibility with the broader NOSTR ecosystem.
-
-## Design Principles
-
-### 1. Modular Architecture
-- **Core Layer**: Essential NOSTR functionality (`nostr_core.c/h`)
-- **Crypto Layer**: Self-contained cryptographic primitives (`nostr_crypto.c/h`)
-- **WebSocket Layer**: Optional networking functionality (`nostr_websocket/`)
-- **Dependencies**: Minimal external dependencies (only cJSON and mbedTLS)
-
-### 2. Clean API Surface
-- Consistent function naming with `nostr_` prefix
-- Clear return codes using `NOSTR_SUCCESS`/`NOSTR_ERROR_*` constants
-- Well-documented function signatures
-- No global state where possible
-
-### 3. Self-Contained Crypto
-- Custom implementations of SHA-256, HMAC, secp256k1
-- BIP39 wordlist embedded in code
-- No external crypto library dependencies for core functionality
-- Optional mbedTLS integration for enhanced security
-
-### 4. Cross-Platform Compatibility
-- Standard C99 code
-- Platform-specific code isolated in separate modules
-- ARM64 and x86_64 tested builds
-- Static library compilation support
-
-## Library Structure

-└── nostr_websocket/      # Optional WebSocket layer
-```
-
-## Integration Methods
-
-### Method 1: Static Library Linking
-
-**Best for**: Applications that want a single binary with all NOSTR functionality embedded.
-
-```bash
-# Build the library
-make lib
-
-# In your project Makefile:
-CFLAGS += -I/path/to/c_nostr
-LDFLAGS += -L/path/to/c_nostr -lnostr_core -lm -static
-```
-
-**Usage:**
-```c
-#include "nostr_core.h"
-
-int main() {
-    if (nostr_init() != NOSTR_SUCCESS) {
-        return 1;
-    }
-    
-    unsigned char private_key[32], public_key[32];
-    nostr_generate_keypair(private_key, public_key);
-    
-    cJSON* event = nostr_create_text_event("Hello NOSTR!", private_key);
-    // ... use event
-    
-    nostr_cleanup();
-    return 0;
-}
-```
-
-### Method 2: Source Code Integration
-
-**Best for**: Applications that want to customize the crypto backend or minimize dependencies.
-
-```bash
-# Copy essential files to your project:
-cp nostr_core.{c,h} your_project/src/
-cp nostr_crypto.{c,h} your_project/src/
-cp -r cjson/ your_project/src/
-```
-
-**Compile with your project:**
-```c
-// In your source
-#include "nostr_core.h"
-// Use NOSTR functions directly
-```
-
-### Method 3: Git Submodule
-
-**Best for**: Projects that want to track upstream changes and contribute back.
-
-```bash
-# In your project root:
-git submodule add https://github.com/yourorg/c_nostr.git deps/c_nostr
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-
-# In your Makefile:
-CFLAGS += -Ideps/c_nostr
-LDFLAGS += -Ldeps/c_nostr -lnostr_core
-```
-
-### Method 4: Shared Library
-
-**Best for**: System-wide installation or multiple applications sharing the same NOSTR implementation.
-
-```bash
-# Install system-wide
-sudo make install
-
-# In your project:
-CFLAGS += $(pkg-config --cflags nostr_core)
-LDFLAGS += $(pkg-config --libs nostr_core)
-```
-
-## API Design for Exportability
-
-### Consistent Error Handling
-```c
-typedef enum {
-    NOSTR_SUCCESS = 0,
-    NOSTR_ERROR_INVALID_INPUT = -1,
-    NOSTR_ERROR_CRYPTO_FAILED = -2,
-    NOSTR_ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION = -3,
-    NOSTR_ERROR_JSON_PARSE = -4,
-    NOSTR_ERROR_NETWORK = -5
-} nostr_error_t;
-
-const char* nostr_strerror(int error_code);
-```
-
-### Clean Resource Management
-```c
-// Always provide cleanup functions
-int nostr_init(void);
-void nostr_cleanup(void);
-
-// JSON objects returned should be freed by caller
-cJSON* nostr_create_text_event(const char* content, const unsigned char* private_key);
-// Caller must call cJSON_Delete(event) when done
-```
-
-### Optional Features
-```c
-// Compile-time feature toggles
-#ifndef NOSTR_DISABLE_WEBSOCKETS
-int nostr_connect_relay(const char* url);
-#endif
-
-#ifndef NOSTR_DISABLE_IDENTITY_PERSISTENCE
-int nostr_save_identity(const unsigned char* private_key, const char* password, int account);
-#endif
-```
-
-## Configuration System
-
-### Build-Time Configuration
-```c
-// nostr_config.h (generated during build)

-
-## Testing and Validation
-
-### Ecosystem Compatibility Testing
-The library includes comprehensive test suites that validate compatibility with reference implementations like `nak`:
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-cd tests && make test
-
-# Test specific functionality
-make test-crypto  # Cryptographic primitives
-make test-core    # High-level NOSTR functions
-```
-
-### Test Vectors
-Real-world test vectors are generated using `nak` to ensure ecosystem compatibility:
-- Key generation and derivation (BIP39/BIP32)
-- Event creation and signing
-- Bech32 encoding/decoding
-- Message serialization
-
-## Documentation for Exporters

-#include "nostr_core.h"
-
-int main() {
-    // Initialize library
-    nostr_init();
-    
-    // Generate keypair
-    unsigned char priv[32], pub[32];
-    nostr_generate_keypair(priv, pub);
-    
-    // Create and sign event
-    cJSON* event = nostr_create_text_event("Hello from my app!", priv);
-    char* json_string = cJSON_Print(event);
-    printf("Event: %s\n", json_string);
-    
-    // Cleanup
-    free(json_string);
-    cJSON_Delete(event);
-    nostr_cleanup();
-    return 0;
-}
-```
-
-**Compile:**
-```bash
-gcc -I. minimal_nostr.c nostr_core.c nostr_crypto.c cjson/cJSON.c -lm -o minimal_nostr
-```
-
-## Future Considerations
-
-### Language Bindings
-The C library is designed to be easily wrapped:
-- **Python**: Use ctypes or cffi
-- **JavaScript**: Use Node.js FFI or WASM compilation
-- **Go**: Use cgo
-- **Rust**: Use bindgen for FFI bindings
-
-### WebAssembly Support
-The library can be compiled to WebAssembly for browser usage:
-```bash
-emcc -O3 -s WASM=1 -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS='["_nostr_init", "_nostr_generate_keypair"]' \
-     nostr_core.c nostr_crypto.c cjson/cJSON.c -o nostr.wasm
-```
-
-### Package Manager Support
-Future versions may include:
-- pkgconfig files for system installation
-- CMake integration for easier builds
-- vcpkg/Conan package definitions
-
-## Contributing Back
-
-Projects using this library are encouraged to:
-1. Report compatibility issues
-2. Submit test vectors from their use cases  
-3. Contribute performance improvements
-4. Add support for additional NIPs
-
-## Version Compatibility
-
-The library follows semantic versioning:
-- **Major**: Breaking API changes
-- **Minor**: New features, backward compatible
-- **Patch**: Bug fixes
-
-API stability guarantees:
-- All functions prefixed with `nostr_` are part of the stable API
-- Internal functions (static or prefixed with `_`) may change
-- Configuration structures may be extended but not modified
-
----
-
-This design ensures the C NOSTR library can be easily adopted by other projects while maintaining high compatibility with the NOSTR ecosystem standards.

-# c-nostr Export and Implementation Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-This guide provides essential information for developers using the `c-nostr` library, particularly regarding the capabilities and limitations of its self-contained modules, such as the HTTP client.
-
-## HTTP Client (`http_client.c`)
-
-The `http_client` module is a lightweight, self-contained HTTP/HTTPS client designed for simple and direct web requests. It is ideal for tasks like fetching NIP-11 information from Nostr relays or interacting with standard, permissive web APIs.
-
-### Key Features
-
-*   **Self-Contained**: It is built with `mbedTLS` and has no external dependencies beyond standard C libraries, making it highly portable.
-*   **Simplicity**: It provides a straightforward `http_get()` function for making web requests.
-*   **TLS Support**: It supports HTTPS and basic TLS 1.3/1.2 features, including SNI (Server Name Indication) and ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation).
-
-### Limitations
-
-The `http_client` is intentionally simple and is **not a full-featured web browser**. Due to its minimalist design, it will likely be blocked by websites that employ advanced anti-bot protection systems.
-
-*   **Incompatibility with Advanced Bot Protection**: Sites like Google, Cloudflare, and others use sophisticated fingerprinting techniques to distinguish between real browsers and automated clients. They analyze the exact combination of TLS cipher suites, TLS extensions, and HTTP headers. Our client's fingerprint does not match a standard browser, so these sites will preemptively drop the connection, typically resulting in a `HTTP_ERROR_NETWORK` error.
-
-*   **Intended Use Case**: This client is best suited for interacting with known, friendly APIs and Nostr relays. It is **not** designed for general web scraping or for accessing services that are heavily guarded against automated traffic.
-
-### Best Practices
-
-*   **Use for APIs and Relays**: Rely on this client for fetching data from well-defined, public endpoints that do not have aggressive bot-detection measures in place.
-*   **Avoid Protected Sites**: Do not attempt to use this client to access services like Google Search, as such attempts will fail. For those use cases, a full-featured library like `libcurl` or a dedicated web-scraping framework is required.
-*   **Check the Test Suite**: The `tests/http_client_test.c` file contains test cases that demonstrate both the successful use cases (e.g., `httpbin.org`) and the expected failures (e.g., `google.com`), providing a clear reference for the client's capabilities.

-# NOSTR Core Library - Usage Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-The NOSTR Core Library (`libnostr_core`) is a self-contained, exportable C library for NOSTR protocol implementation. It requires **no external cryptographic dependencies** (no OpenSSL, no libwally) and can be easily integrated into other projects.
-
-## Key Features
-
-- **Self-Contained Crypto**: All cryptographic operations implemented from scratch
-- **Zero External Dependencies**: Only requires standard C library, cJSON, and libwebsockets
-- **Cross-Platform**: Builds on Linux, macOS, Windows (with appropriate toolchain)
-- **NIP-06 Compliant**: Proper BIP39/BIP32 implementation for key derivation
-- **Thread-Safe**: Core cryptographic functions are stateless and thread-safe
-- **Easy Integration**: Simple C API with clear error handling

-    }
-    
-    // Cleanup
-    nostr_cleanup();
-    return 0;
-}
-```
-
-## Dependency Management
-
-### Required Dependencies
-- **Standard C Library**: malloc, string functions, file I/O
-- **Math Library**: `-lm` (for cryptographic calculations)
-- **cJSON**: JSON parsing (included, or use system version)
-
-### Optional Dependencies
-- **libwebsockets**: Only needed for relay communication functions
-- **System cJSON**: Can replace bundled version
-
-### Minimal Integration (Crypto Only)
-If you only need key generation and signing:
-
-```bash
-# Build with minimal dependencies
-gcc -DNOSTR_CRYPTO_ONLY your_project.c nostr_crypto.c -lm
-```
-
-## Cross-Platform Considerations
-
-### Linux
-- Works out of the box with GCC
-- Install build-essential: `sudo apt install build-essential`
-
-### macOS
-- Works with Xcode command line tools
-- May need: `xcode-select --install`
-
-### Windows
-- Use MinGW-w64 or MSYS2
-- Or integrate with Visual Studio project
-
-### Embedded Systems
-- Library is designed to work on resource-constrained systems
-- No heap allocations in core crypto functions
-- Stack usage is predictable and bounded
-
-## API Reference
-
-### Initialization
-```c
-int nostr_init(void);                    // Initialize library
-void nostr_cleanup(void);                // Cleanup resources
-const char* nostr_strerror(int error);   // Get error string
-```
-
-### Key Generation
-```c
-int nostr_generate_keypair(unsigned char* private_key, unsigned char* public_key);
-int nostr_generate_mnemonic_and_keys(char* mnemonic, size_t mnemonic_size, 
-                                     int account, unsigned char* private_key, 
-                                     unsigned char* public_key);
-int nostr_derive_keys_from_mnemonic(const char* mnemonic, int account,
-                                    unsigned char* private_key, unsigned char* public_key);
-```
-
-### Event Creation
-```c
-cJSON* nostr_create_text_event(const char* content, const unsigned char* private_key);
-cJSON* nostr_create_profile_event(const char* name, const char* about, 
-                                  const unsigned char* private_key);
-int nostr_sign_event(cJSON* event, const unsigned char* private_key);
-```
-
-### Utilities
-```c
-void nostr_bytes_to_hex(const unsigned char* bytes, size_t len, char* hex);
-int nostr_hex_to_bytes(const char* hex, unsigned char* bytes, size_t len);
-int nostr_key_to_bech32(const unsigned char* key, const char* hrp, char* output);
-nostr_input_type_t nostr_detect_input_type(const char* input);
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-All functions return standardized error codes:
-
-- `NOSTR_SUCCESS` (0): Operation successful
-- `NOSTR_ERROR_INVALID_INPUT` (-1): Invalid parameters
-- `NOSTR_ERROR_CRYPTO_FAILED` (-2): Cryptographic operation failed
-- `NOSTR_ERROR_MEMORY_FAILED` (-3): Memory allocation failed
-- `NOSTR_ERROR_IO_FAILED` (-4): File I/O operation failed
-- `NOSTR_ERROR_NETWORK_FAILED` (-5): Network operation failed
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-1. **Private Key Handling**: Always clear private keys from memory when done
-2. **Random Number Generation**: Uses `/dev/urandom` on Unix systems
-3. **Memory Safety**: All buffers are bounds-checked
-4. **Constant-Time Operations**: Critical crypto operations are timing-attack resistant
-

+## Notes
+
+- All functions are **not thread-safe**. Use from a single thread or add external synchronization.
+- **Memory ownership**: The pool duplicates filters and URLs internally. Caller owns returned events and must free them.
+- **Event deduplication** is applied pool-wide using a circular buffer of 1000 event IDs.
+- **Ping functionality** is currently disabled in this build.
+- **Reconnection** happens on-demand when sending, but active subscriptions are not automatically re-sent after reconnect.
+- **Polling model**: You must drive the event loop via [`nostr_relay_pool_run()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:1192) or [`nostr_relay_pool_poll()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:1232) to receive events.

+## 🏗️ Integration
+
+### Static Library Integration (Recommended)
+
+1. **Install system dependencies first** (see Dependencies section above)
+
+2. **Copy required files to your project:**
+   ```bash
+   cp libnostr_core.a /path/to/your/project/
+   cp nostr_core/nostr_core.h /path/to/your/project/
+   ```
+
+3. **Link in your project:**
+   ```bash
+   gcc your_code.c -L. -lnostr_core -lssl -lcrypto -lcurl -lsecp256k1 -lm -o your_program
+   ```
+
+### Source Integration
+
+1. **Install system dependencies first** (see Dependencies section above)
+
+2. **Copy source files:**
+   ```bash
+   cp -r nostr_core/ /path/to/your/project/
+   cp -r cjson/ /path/to/your/project/
+   ```
+
+3. **Include in your build:**
+   ```bash
+   gcc your_code.c nostr_core/*.c cjson/cJSON.c -lssl -lcrypto -lcurl -lsecp256k1 -lm -o your_program
+   ```
+
+### System Dependencies Library
+
+The `libnostr_core.a` library now uses **system dependencies** for all major crypto libraries:
+
+- ✅ **Uses system OpenSSL** (`-lssl -lcrypto`)
+- ✅ **Uses system curl** (`-lcurl`) 
+- ✅ **Uses system secp256k1** (`-lsecp256k1`)
+- ✅ **Includes only internal code** (cJSON, TinyAES, ChaCha20)
+
+**Complete linking example:**
+```bash
+gcc your_app.c ./libnostr_core.a -lssl -lcrypto -lcurl -lsecp256k1 -lm -o your_app
+```
+
+**Check system dependencies:**
+```bash
+ldd your_app  # Shows linked system libraries
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Compile-Time Options
+
+```c
+// Enable debug output
+#define NOSTR_DEBUG_ENABLED
+
+// Crypto-only build (no networking)
+#define NOSTR_CRYPTO_ONLY
+
+// Enable specific NIPs
+#define NOSTR_NIP04_ENABLED
+#define NOSTR_NIP44_ENABLED
+#define NOSTR_NIP13_ENABLED
+```
+
+### Build Flags
+
+```bash
+# Enable all logging
+make LOGGING_FLAGS="-DENABLE_FILE_LOGGING -DENABLE_WEBSOCKET_LOGGING -DENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING"
+
+# Debug build
+make debug

+## 📈 Version History
+
+Current version: **0.2.1**
+
+The library uses automatic semantic versioning based on Git tags. Each build increments the patch version automatically.
+
+**Recent Developments:**
+- **OpenSSL Migration**: Transitioned from mbedTLS to OpenSSL for improved compatibility
+- **NIP-05 Support**: DNS-based internet identifier verification
+- **NIP-11 Support**: Relay information document fetching and parsing
+- **NIP-19 Support**: Bech32-encoded entities (nsec/npub)
+- **Enhanced WebSocket**: OpenSSL-based TLS WebSocket communication
+- **Comprehensive Testing**: Extensive test suite and error handling
+
+**Version Timeline:**
+- `v0.2.x` - Current development releases with enhanced NIP support
+- `v0.1.x` - Initial development releases
+- Focus on core protocol implementation and OpenSSL-based crypto
+- Full NIP-01, NIP-04, NIP-05, NIP-06, NIP-11, NIP-13, NIP-19, NIP-44 support
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Build fails with secp256k1 errors:**
+```bash
+cd secp256k1
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-module-schnorrsig --enable-module-ecdh
+make
+cd ..
+./build.sh lib
+```
+
+**Library too large:**
+The x64 library is intentionally large (~15MB) because it includes all secp256k1 cryptographic functions and OpenSSL for complete self-containment. The ARM64 library is smaller (~2.4MB) as it links against system OpenSSL.
+
+**Linking errors:**
+Make sure to include the math library:
+```bash
+gcc your_code.c ./libnostr_core.a -lm  # Note the -lm flag
+```
+
+### Getting Help
+
+- Check the `examples/` directory for working code
+- Run `./build.sh test` to verify your environment
+- Review the comprehensive API documentation in `nostr_core/nostr_core.h`

-# Compiler Warning Cleanup - SUCCESS REPORT
-
-## 🎉 All Warnings Resolved!
-
-The nostr_core_lib now compiles with **zero compiler warnings** using `-Wall -Wextra` flags.
-
-## ✅ Fixed Issues Summary
-
-### 1. **Type Limits Warning** - `nostr_core/core.c`
-- **Issue**: `comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]`
-- **Location**: `bech32_decode()` function, line 791
-- **Problem**: Comparing `char c < 0` when `char` might be unsigned
-- **Fix**: Changed `char c` to `unsigned char c` and removed redundant comparison
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
-
-### 2. **Unused Parameter Warning** - `nostr_core/nostr_crypto.c`
-- **Issue**: `unused parameter 'mnemonic_size' [-Wunused-parameter]`
-- **Location**: `nostr_bip39_mnemonic_from_bytes()` function
-- **Problem**: Function parameter was declared but never used
-- **Fix**: Removed `mnemonic_size` parameter from function signature and all call sites
-- **Files Updated**: 
-  - `nostr_core/nostr_crypto.c` (function implementation)
-  - `nostr_core/nostr_crypto.h` (function declaration)
-  - `nostr_core/core.c` (function call site)
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
-
-### 3. **Unused Constant Variable** - `nostr_core/nostr_crypto.c`
-- **Issue**: `'CURVE_N' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]`
-- **Location**: Line 456
-- **Problem**: Constant array was defined but never referenced
-- **Fix**: Removed the unused `CURVE_N` constant definition
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
-
-### 4. **Unused Variables** - `nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_mbedtls.c`
-- **Issue 1**: `unused variable 'tcp' [-Wunused-variable]` in `tcp_cleanup()`
-- **Issue 2**: `unused variable 'fin' [-Wunused-variable]` in `ws_receive_frame()`
-- **Fix**: Removed both unused variable declarations
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
-
-### 5. **Sign Comparison Warnings** - `nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_mbedtls.c`
-- **Issue**: `comparison of integer expressions of different signedness [-Wsign-compare]`
-- **Locations**: 
-  - `ws_parse_url()` - `path_start - url` vs `strlen(url)`
-  - `ws_perform_handshake()` - `len` vs `sizeof(request)`
-  - `ws_perform_handshake()` - `total_received` vs `sizeof(response) - 1`
-- **Fix**: Added explicit casts to `size_t` for signed integers before comparison
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
-
-### 6. **Unused Function Warning** - `nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_mbedtls.c`
-- **Issue**: `'debug_log_cleanup' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]`
-- **Problem**: Function was defined but never called
-- **Fix**: Removed the unused function and its forward declaration
-- **Status**: ✅ RESOLVED

 - Tested with major NOSTR relays
 
+## Migration Notes
+
+If you were previously using the mbedTLS version of this library:
+
+### Code Changes Required
+- Update `#include` to reference `nostr_websocket_openssl.c` instead of `nostr_websocket_mbedtls.c`
+- Change linking flags from `-lmbedtls -lmbedx509 -lmbedcrypto` to `-lssl -lcrypto`
+- Install OpenSSL development headers instead of mbedTLS
+
+### API Compatibility
+- All function signatures remain identical
+- No changes to your application code required
+- Same performance characteristics and behavior
+
 This library provides a clean, efficient way to integrate NOSTR WebSocket functionality into any C project with minimal dependencies and maximum portability.
