Added cashu functionality.

The tls_recv() function was skipping the select() call when SSL_pending()
returned non-zero, causing a tight busy-wait loop. This fix ensures select()
is always called, using a zero timeout when SSL has buffered data to return
immediately, or the full timeout to properly block when waiting for new data.

This prevents the relay client from consuming 100% CPU while maintaining
the WebSocket connection.

-# 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

+## 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.
+- **NIP-42 behavior**: With [`nostr_relay_pool_set_auth()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:616) enabled, the pool will respond to relay `AUTH` challenges automatically using [`nostr_nip42_create_auth_event()`](nostr_core/nip042.c:26) and [`nostr_nip42_create_auth_message()`](nostr_core/nip042.c:84).
+- **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:1745) or [`nostr_relay_pool_poll()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:1785) to receive events.

+### Logging Integration (Consumer-Controlled)
+
+`nostr_core_lib` now supports a callback logging API so host applications can route library logs into their own logger and destination.
+
+- API is exposed via [`nostr_core/nostr_log.h`](nostr_core/nostr_log.h)
+- Included automatically from [`nostr_core/nostr_core.h`](nostr_core/nostr_core.h)
+
+```c
+#include "nostr_core/nostr_core.h"
+
+static void my_log_cb(int level, const char* component, const char* message, void* user_data) {
+    (void)user_data;
+    fprintf(stderr, "[nostr][%s][%d] %s\n", component ? component : "unknown", level, message ? message : "");
+}
+
+int main(void) {
+    if (nostr_init() != NOSTR_SUCCESS) return 1;
+
+    nostr_set_log_callback(my_log_cb, NULL);
+    nostr_set_log_level(NOSTR_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE);
+
+    /* ... your code ... */
+
+    nostr_cleanup();
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+#### Migration Notes
+
+- Direct file logging to `debug.log` has been removed from websocket and NIP-13 internals.
+- To receive logs, register a callback with [`nostr_set_log_callback()`](nostr_core/nostr_log.h:24).
+- Use [`nostr_set_log_level()`](nostr_core/nostr_log.h:25) to reduce verbosity in production.

-**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.
+**Library size:**
+The library is small (~500KB) as it links against system libraries (secp256k1, OpenSSL, curl) rather than including them statically. This keeps the binary size manageable while maintaining full functionality.
 
 **Linking errors:**

-# NOSTR Core Integration Example
-
-This directory contains a complete example showing how to integrate the NOSTR Core library into your own projects.
-
-## What This Example Demonstrates
-
-- **Library Initialization**: Proper setup and cleanup of the NOSTR library
-- **Identity Management**: Key generation, bech32 encoding, and format detection
-- **Event Creation**: Creating and signing different types of NOSTR events
-- **Input Handling**: Processing various input formats (mnemonic, hex, bech32)
-- **Utility Functions**: Using helper functions for hex conversion and error handling
-- **CMake Integration**: How to integrate the library in your CMake-based project
-
-## Building and Running
-
-### Method 1: Using CMake
-
-```bash
-# Create build directory
-mkdir build && cd build
-
-# Configure with CMake
-cmake ..
-
-# Build
-make
-
-# Run the example
-./my_nostr_app
-```
-
-### Method 2: Manual Compilation
-
-```bash
-# Compile directly (assuming you're in the c_nostr root directory)
-gcc -I. examples/integration_example/main.c nostr_core.c nostr_crypto.c cjson/cJSON.c -lm -o integration_example
-
-# Run
-./integration_example
-```
-
-## Expected Output
-
-The example will demonstrate:
-
-1. **Identity Management Demo**
-   - Generate a new keypair
-   - Display keys in hex and bech32 format
-
-2. **Event Creation Demo**
-   - Create a text note event
-   - Create a profile event
-   - Display the JSON for both events
-
-3. **Input Handling Demo**
-   - Process different input formats
-   - Show format detection and decoding
-
-4. **Utility Functions Demo**
-   - Hex conversion round-trip
-   - Error message display
-
-## Integration Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: CMake Find Package
-
-If NOSTR Core is installed system-wide:
-
-```cmake
-find_package(nostr_core REQUIRED)
-target_link_libraries(your_app nostr_core::static)
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: CMake Subdirectory
-
-If NOSTR Core is a subdirectory of your project:
-
-```cmake
-add_subdirectory(nostr_core)
-target_link_libraries(your_app nostr_core_static)
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: pkg-config
-
-If using pkg-config:
-
-```cmake
-find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
-pkg_check_modules(NOSTR_CORE REQUIRED nostr_core)
-target_include_directories(your_app PRIVATE ${NOSTR_CORE_INCLUDE_DIRS})
-target_link_libraries(your_app ${NOSTR_CORE_LIBRARIES})
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: Direct Source Integration
-
-Copy the essential files to your project:
-
-```bash
-cp nostr_core.{c,h} nostr_crypto.{c,h} your_project/src/
-cp -r cjson/ your_project/src/
-```
-
-Then compile them with your project sources.
-
-## Code Structure
-
-### main.c Structure
-
-The example is organized into clear demonstration functions:
-
-- `demo_identity_management()` - Key generation and encoding
-- `demo_event_creation()` - Creating different event types
-- `demo_input_handling()` - Processing various input formats
-- `demo_utilities()` - Using utility functions
-
-Each function demonstrates specific aspects of the library while maintaining proper error handling and resource cleanup.
-
-### Key Integration Points
-
-1. **Initialization**
-   ```c
-   int ret = nostr_init();
-   if (ret != NOSTR_SUCCESS) {
-       // Handle error
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. **Resource Cleanup**
-   ```c
-   // Always clean up JSON objects
-   cJSON_Delete(event);
-   
-   // Clean up library on exit
-   nostr_cleanup();
-   ```
-
-3. **Error Handling**
-   ```c
-   if (ret != NOSTR_SUCCESS) {
-       printf("Error: %s\n", nostr_strerror(ret));
-       return ret;
-   }
-   ```
-
-## Customization
-
-You can modify this example for your specific needs:
-
-- Change the `app_config_t` structure to match your application's configuration
-- Add additional event types or custom event creation logic
-- Integrate with your existing error handling and logging systems
-- Add networking functionality using the WebSocket layer
-
-## Dependencies
-
-This example requires:
-- C99 compiler (gcc, clang)
-- CMake 3.12+ (for CMake build)
-- NOSTR Core library and its dependencies
-
-## Testing
-
-You can test different input formats by passing them as command line arguments:
-
-```bash
-# Test with mnemonic
-./my_nostr_app "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about"
-
-# Test with hex private key
-./my_nostr_app "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
-
-# Test with bech32 nsec
-./my_nostr_app "nsec1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-After studying this example, you can:
-
-1. Integrate the patterns into your own application
-2. Explore the WebSocket functionality for relay communication
-3. Add support for additional NOSTR event types
-4. Implement your own identity persistence layer
-5. Add networking and relay management features
-
-For more examples, see the other files in the `examples/` directory.

+# Logging Delegation Plan for `nostr_core_lib`
+
+## Objective
+
+Refactor `nostr_core_lib` so it does not own log destinations such as `debug.log`, and instead emits logs through a consumer-provided callback. This allows host applications such as [`didactyl`](../README.md) to route all library logs into their own logging system with consistent formatting, level control, and file policy.
+
+## Current State and Problem
+
+The library currently writes directly to `debug.log` in multiple places:
+
+- [`nostr_core_lib/nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:1008)
+- [`nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:178)
+- [`nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:242)
+- [`nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:270)
+
+This creates collisions with consumer logs when the host app also uses `debug.log` such as [`didactyl/src/debug.c`](../../src/debug.c:18).
+
+## Target Design
+
+Adopt a callback-based logging API inside `nostr_core_lib`:
+
+1. Library owns no file handle for logs.
+2. Library emits structured log events by level and source.
+3. Consumer registers a callback once during startup.
+4. If no callback is set, logs are dropped by default.
+
+### High-Level Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[nostr_core_lib internal code] --> B[nostr_log_emit level source message]
+    B --> C{callback configured}
+    C -->|Yes| D[consumer callback]
+    C -->|No| E[drop log event]
+    D --> F[didactyl debug_log routing]
+    F --> G[didactyl log file or stdout]
+```
+
+## API Additions
+
+Add a small public logging API in [`nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nostr_core.h`](../nostr_core/nostr_core.h):
+
+- `nostr_log_level_t` enum with levels compatible with host systems
+- `nostr_log_callback_t` callback type
+- `void nostr_set_log_callback(nostr_log_callback_t cb, void* user_data);`
+- `void nostr_set_log_level(nostr_log_level_t min_level);`
+
+Recommended callback shape:
+
+```c
+typedef void (*nostr_log_callback_t)(
+    int level,
+    const char* component,
+    const char* message,
+    void* user_data
+);
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Keep ABI simple by formatting message inside the library before callback invocation.
+- Include `component` values such as `websocket` and `nip013`.
+
+## Internal Implementation Plan
+
+## Phase 1: Logging Core
+
+1. Create `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nostr_log.h` and `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nostr_log.c`.
+2. Add internal singleton state:
+   - callback pointer
+   - callback user data
+   - minimum log level
+3. Add internal helpers:
+   - `nostr_log_emitf level component fmt ...`
+   - stack buffer formatting with truncation safety
+4. Default behavior when no callback set: no-op.
+
+## Phase 2: Replace File Logging in WebSocket Layer
+
+1. Remove file-specific static globals from [`nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:27).
+2. Remove `debug_log_init` and `debug_log_message` path at [`nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:1005).
+3. Replace call sites:
+   - outgoing frame logging near [`nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:871)
+   - incoming frame logging near [`nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:964)
+4. Emit through `nostr_log_emitf` with component `websocket`.
+
+## Phase 3: Replace File Logging in NIP-13
+
+1. Replace `fopen`/`fprintf` blocks in [`nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:178), [`nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:242), and [`nip013.c`](../nostr_core/nip013.c:270).
+2. Emit equivalent debug lines via `nostr_log_emitf` with component `nip013`.
+3. Preserve existing compile-time verbosity guards if needed, but route output through callback.
+
+## Phase 4: Wire Public API
+
+1. Export new functions in [`nostr_core.h`](../nostr_core/nostr_core.h:1).
+2. Ensure object file inclusion in `nostr_core_lib` build scripts and static archive.
+3. Document behavior in [`nostr_core_lib/README.md`](../README.md).
+
+## Phase 5: Consumer Integration in Didactyl
+
+1. In didactyl initialization path near [`src/nostr_handler.c`](../../src/nostr_handler.c:1519), register `nostr_set_log_callback`.
+2. Adapter callback maps library levels to didactyl levels from [`src/debug.h`](../../src/debug.h:7).
+3. Prefix messages with source namespace such as `[nostr:websocket]` and `[nostr:nip013]`.
+
+## Backward Compatibility Strategy
+
+- Keep existing compile guards but change behavior from file output to callback emission.
+- If callback not set, behavior remains safe and silent.
+- No breaking changes for consumers not using logging.
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### Unit Tests in `nostr_core_lib`
+
+1. Add tests for callback registration and null behavior.
+2. Add tests for level filtering.
+3. Add tests that message formatting truncates safely and remains null terminated.
+
+### Integration Checks in Didactyl
+
+1. Start didactyl with debug enabled and callback wired.
+2. Verify websocket SEND and RECV lines appear through didactyl logger format from [`src/debug.c`](../../src/debug.c:31).
+3. Verify no separate websocket-only banner line from old path near [`nostr_websocket_openssl.c`](../nostr_websocket/nostr_websocket_openssl.c:1010).
+4. Verify LLM request log lines and nostr logs coexist in one log destination.
+
+## Rollout Steps
+
+1. Implement callback infrastructure and migrate websocket logging first.
+2. Validate no direct file writes remain in websocket module.
+3. Migrate nip013 logging.
+4. Add documentation and examples.
+5. Update didactyl wiring.
+6. Remove obsolete references to `ENABLE_FILE_LOGGING` for websocket logging behavior if no longer needed.
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+- Risk: excessive callback volume from websocket trace traffic.
+  - Mitigation: implement minimum level filter in library and map websocket traffic to trace level.
+- Risk: callback reentrancy or thread concerns.
+  - Mitigation: document callback must be fast and thread-safe, avoid heavy blocking in callback.
+- Risk: API drift across consumers.
+  - Mitigation: keep callback signature minimal and stable.
+
+## Definition of Done
+
+- No direct `fopen("debug.log", ...)` remains in production logging paths in `nostr_core_lib`.
+- Consumer can set callback and receive websocket and nip013 logs.
+- Didactyl routes nostr_core_lib logs through its logger and single configured destination.
+- Documentation updated with migration and usage examples.

+# NIP-42 Authentication Support for core_relay_pool.c
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The relay pool ([`core_relay_pool.c`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c)) does not handle NIP-42 authentication. When a relay sends an `AUTH` challenge message, the pool silently ignores it, causing:
+
+- Subscriptions to fail on auth-required relays (events never delivered)
+- Publishes to be rejected with `auth-required:` errors
+- No visibility into authentication state per relay
+
+The synchronous relay functions in [`core_relays.c`](nostr_core/core_relays.c) already have full NIP-42 support (lines 58-63, 211-239, 595-624). The NIP-42 primitives in [`nip042.c`](nostr_core/nip042.c) / [`nip042.h`](nostr_core/nip042.h) are production-ready. This plan wires them into the pool.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Relay sends AUTH challenge] --> B[process_relay_message parses AUTH]
+    B --> C{pool has private_key?}
+    C -->|No| D[Log warning, mark relay auth_state = CHALLENGE_RECEIVED]

+    
+    P[Relay sends NOTICE] --> Q{Contains auth-required?}
+    Q -->|Yes| R[Log auth-required notice]
+    Q -->|No| S[Ignore or log]
+```
+
+## Detailed Changes
+
+### 1. Add NIP-42 include to core_relay_pool.c
+
+Add `#include "nip042.h"` alongside the existing includes at the top of [`core_relay_pool.c`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:27).
+
+### 2. Add auth fields to `relay_connection_t` struct
+
+Modeled after [`core_relays.c:58-63`](nostr_core/core_relays.c:58), add to the [`relay_connection_t`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:76) struct:
+
+```c
+// NIP-42 Authentication fields
+nostr_auth_state_t auth_state;
+char auth_challenge[NOSTR_NIP42_MAX_CHALLENGE_LENGTH];
+time_t auth_challenge_time;
+int nip42_enabled;
+```
+
+These go after the existing `last_connection_error_time` field (around line 106).
+
+### 3. Add private key and NIP-42 config to `nostr_relay_pool` struct
+
+Add to the [`nostr_relay_pool`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:146) struct:
+
+```c
+// NIP-42 Authentication configuration
+int nip42_enabled;
+unsigned char private_key[32];
+int has_private_key;
+```
+
+### 4. Add public API: `nostr_relay_pool_set_auth()`
+
+Add to [`nostr_core.h`](nostr_core/nostr_core.h) after the existing pool management functions (around line 252):
+
+```c
+// NIP-42 Authentication configuration for relay pool
+int nostr_relay_pool_set_auth(nostr_relay_pool_t* pool, 
+                               const unsigned char* private_key,
+                               int enable);
+```
+
+Implement in [`core_relay_pool.c`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c):
+- Copies the 32-byte private key into the pool struct
+- Sets `nip42_enabled` flag
+- Propagates `nip42_enabled` to all existing relay connections
+
+### 5. Handle AUTH in `process_relay_message()`
+
+Add an `AUTH` handler in [`process_relay_message()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:912) between the existing `OK` and `PONG` handlers (around line 1097). The logic mirrors [`core_relays.c:211-239`](nostr_core/core_relays.c:211):
+
+```c
+} else if (strcmp(msg_type, "AUTH") == 0) {
+    // Handle AUTH challenge: ["AUTH", <challenge-string>]
+    if (pool->nip42_enabled && pool->has_private_key && 
+        cJSON_IsArray(parsed) && cJSON_GetArraySize(parsed) >= 2) {
+        cJSON* challenge_json = cJSON_GetArrayItem(parsed, 1);
+        if (cJSON_IsString(challenge_json)) {
+            const char* challenge = cJSON_GetStringValue(challenge_json);
+            
+            // Store challenge
+            strncpy(relay->auth_challenge, challenge, 
+                    sizeof(relay->auth_challenge) - 1);
+            relay->auth_challenge[sizeof(relay->auth_challenge) - 1] = '\0';
+            relay->auth_challenge_time = time(NULL);
+            relay->auth_state = NOSTR_AUTH_STATE_CHALLENGE_RECEIVED;
+            
+            // Create and send auth event
+            cJSON* auth_event = nostr_nip42_create_auth_event(
+                challenge, relay->url, pool->private_key, 0);
+            if (auth_event) {
+                char* auth_message = nostr_nip42_create_auth_message(auth_event);
+                if (auth_message) {
+                    if (nostr_ws_send_text(relay->ws_client, auth_message) >= 0) {
+                        relay->auth_state = NOSTR_AUTH_STATE_AUTHENTICATING;
+                    }
+                    free(auth_message);
+                }
+                cJSON_Delete(auth_event);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Handle AUTH in `nostr_relay_pool_query_sync()` inline loop
+
+The [`nostr_relay_pool_query_sync()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:1107) function has its own inline message parsing loop (lines 1178-1227) that bypasses `process_relay_message()`. Add AUTH handling there too, similar to the pattern above.
+
+### 7. Handle NOTICE messages
+
+Add a `NOTICE` handler in [`process_relay_message()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:912):
+
+```c
+} else if (strcmp(msg_type, "NOTICE") == 0) {
+    // Handle NOTICE: ["NOTICE", <message>]
+    if (cJSON_IsArray(parsed) && cJSON_GetArraySize(parsed) >= 2) {
+        cJSON* notice_msg = cJSON_GetArrayItem(parsed, 1);
+        if (cJSON_IsString(notice_msg)) {
+            const char* notice = cJSON_GetStringValue(notice_msg);
+            // Detect auth-required notices
+            if (strstr(notice, "auth-required") != NULL) {
+                relay->auth_state = NOSTR_AUTH_STATE_NONE; // Reset for re-auth
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 8. Handle OK auth-required rejections
+
+Enhance the existing [`OK` handler](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:1048) to detect `auth-required:` prefix in error messages. When detected:
+- If the pool has a private key and the relay hasn't been authenticated yet, trigger the auth flow
+- Surface the rejection through the publish callback with the auth-required message
+
+### 9. Initialize auth fields in `nostr_relay_pool_add_relay()`
+
+In [`nostr_relay_pool_add_relay()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:605), initialize the new auth fields:
+
+```c
+// Initialize NIP-42 authentication fields
+relay->auth_state = NOSTR_AUTH_STATE_NONE;
+memset(relay->auth_challenge, 0, sizeof(relay->auth_challenge));
+relay->auth_challenge_time = 0;
+relay->nip42_enabled = pool->nip42_enabled;
+```
+
+### 10. Secure cleanup in `nostr_relay_pool_destroy()`
+
+In [`nostr_relay_pool_destroy()`](nostr_core/core_relay_pool.c:684), zero the private key before freeing:
+
+```c
+// Securely zero private key
+if (pool->has_private_key) {
+    memset(pool->private_key, 0, sizeof(pool->private_key));
+    pool->has_private_key = 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 11. Test file
+
+Create `tests/nip42_pool_test.c` that:
+- Creates a pool with auth configured
+- Verifies `nostr_relay_pool_set_auth()` stores the key
+- Simulates AUTH challenge parsing logic (unit-level, no live relay needed)
+- Verifies auth event creation with the pool's private key
+
+### 12. Documentation updates
+
+- Update [`POOL_API.md`](POOL_API.md) with `nostr_relay_pool_set_auth()` documentation
+- Update [`README.md`](README.md) with a relay pool NIP-42 usage example

+| [`README.md`](README.md) | Modified | Add pool auth usage example |
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Private key stored in pool, not per-relay**: A single identity authenticates to all relays in the pool. This matches the common use case and mirrors how `core_relays.c` accepts a single `private_key` parameter.
+
+2. **Auth state tracked per-relay**: Each relay connection tracks its own `nostr_auth_state_t` since different relays may challenge at different times.
+
+3. **Automatic re-auth on reconnect**: When a relay reconnects (via the existing reconnection logic), the auth state resets to `NOSTR_AUTH_STATE_NONE`, allowing the relay to re-challenge.
+
+4. **No blocking on auth**: The AUTH response is sent asynchronously. If a relay requires auth before accepting subscriptions, the relay will re-send events after authentication succeeds. The pool does not block waiting for auth confirmation.
+
+5. **Reuse existing NIP-42 primitives**: All crypto and message formatting uses [`nostr_nip42_create_auth_event()`](nostr_core/nip042.c:26) and [`nostr_nip42_create_auth_message()`](nostr_core/nip042.c:84) — no new crypto code needed.

+# NIP-46 Remote Signing — Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+NIP-46 defines a protocol for **Nostr Remote Signing**, enabling 2-way communication between a client application and a remote signer (bunker) over Nostr relays. The remote signer holds the user's private keys and performs cryptographic operations on behalf of the client, reducing the attack surface by keeping keys off the client device.
+
+This plan covers implementing **both sides** of the protocol:
+- **Client-side**: sends requests to a remote signer and processes responses
+- **Remote-signer-side**: receives requests and produces responses (for building bunker applications)
+
+## Architecture

+| `nostr_core/nostr_common.h` | Add NIP-46 error code defines |
+| `build.sh` | Add NIP-046 to auto-detection, `--nips=all` list, and description mapping |
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### URL Parsing Strategy
+
+The `bunker://` and `nostrconnect://` URLs use standard URI format with query parameters. Implementation will:
+1. Validate the scheme prefix
+2. Extract the pubkey from the authority section
+3. Parse query parameters using simple string splitting — no external URL parsing library needed
+4. URL-decode relay values since they contain `://` characters
+
+### NIP-44 Encryption Integration
+
+All kind:24133 event content is NIP-44 encrypted. The implementation will use the existing `nostr_nip44_encrypt()` and `nostr_nip44_decrypt()` functions from `nip044.h`. The flow:
+1. Build JSON-RPC payload as a string
+2. Encrypt with `nostr_nip44_encrypt(client_privkey, remote_signer_pubkey, payload, ...)`
+3. Set as event content
+4. On receive: `nostr_nip44_decrypt(my_privkey, sender_pubkey, content, ...)`
+5. Parse decrypted JSON-RPC payload
+
+### Relay Communication
+
+For the initial implementation, the NIP-46 module will provide **event construction and parsing only** — it will not manage relay connections directly. Users will use the existing relay pool API to:
+1. Subscribe to kind:24133 events p-tagged to their pubkey
+2. Publish kind:24133 request/response events
+
+This keeps the module focused and composable, matching the pattern used by NIP-59 and NIP-17.
+
+A higher-level convenience layer could be added later that wraps the relay pool for a fully managed NIP-46 session.
+
+### Auth Challenge Handling
+
+When a response has `result: "auth_url"`, the error field contains a URL. The client-side API will return a specific error code `NOSTR_ERROR_NIP46_AUTH_CHALLENGE` and provide the URL in the response struct's error field, allowing the application to handle it appropriately.
+
+## Test Plan
+
+The test suite will cover:
+
+1. **URL Parsing Tests**
+   - Parse valid bunker:// URLs with single and multiple relays
+   - Parse valid nostrconnect:// URLs with all optional fields
+   - Reject malformed URLs
+   - Handle URL-encoded relay values
+
+2. **URL Generation Tests**
+   - Generate bunker:// URLs and verify round-trip parsing
+   - Generate nostrconnect:// URLs and verify round-trip parsing
+
+3. **JSON-RPC Message Tests**
+   - Create and parse each method type request
+   - Create and parse success responses
+   - Create and parse error responses
+   - Verify request ID matching
+
+4. **Event Construction Tests**
+   - Create kind:24133 request events with proper encryption
+   - Create kind:24133 response events with proper encryption
+   - Decrypt events and verify content matches
+
+5. **Method Enum Conversion Tests**
+   - Round-trip all method enum values through string conversion
+
+6. **Signer Request Handling Tests**
+   - Handle connect request and produce ack response
+   - Handle sign_event request and produce signed event response
+   - Handle ping request and produce pong response
+   - Handle get_public_key and return correct pubkey
+   - Handle NIP-04/NIP-44 encrypt/decrypt requests
+
+7. **End-to-End Flow Tests**
+   - Client creates connect request → Signer handles → Client processes response
+   - Client creates sign_event request → Signer signs → Client gets signed event
+   - Full bunker:// connection flow
+   - Secret validation on connect
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. Error codes in `nostr_common.h`
+2. Header file `nip046.h` with all declarations
+3. URL parsing functions
+4. JSON-RPC request/response construction and parsing
+5. Kind:24133 event creation and decryption
+6. Client session management
+7. Signer session and request handling
+8. Utility functions
+9. Build system updates
+10. Test suite
+11. Example program
+12. Documentation updates in `nostr_core.h`

+# NIP-60 Cashu Wallet & NIP-61 Nutzaps — Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+**NIP-60** defines a protocol for storing Cashu wallet state on Nostr relays, enabling cross-application wallet portability. The wallet stores unspent proofs as encrypted events, tracks spending history, and manages mint relationships.
+
+**NIP-61** defines "Nutzaps" — P2PK-locked Cashu tokens sent as zaps between Nostr users, where the payment itself serves as the receipt.
+
+This implementation covers:
+- **NIP-60**: Wallet event creation/parsing (kind:17375), token events (kind:7375), spending history (kind:7376), quote events (kind:7374)
+- **NIP-61**: Nutzap info events (kind:10019), nutzap events (kind:9321), nutzap redemption
+- **Cashu Mint HTTP Client**: Mint info, token swap, melt, and mint operations via curl

+
+## Build System Changes
+
+### build.sh Updates
+
+1. Add `060` and `061` to the NIP detection patterns
+2. Add `cashu_mint.c` as a source when NIP-60 or NIP-61 is detected
+3. Add NIP descriptions: `NIP-060(Cashu-Wallet)`, `NIP-061(Nutzaps)`
+4. Update the `--nips=all` list to include `060` and `061`
+5. Update the help text with new NIP descriptions
+
+### nostr_core.h Updates
+
+Add includes:
+```c
+#include "nip060.h"  // Cashu Wallet
+#include "nip061.h"  // Nutzaps
+#include "cashu_mint.h"  // Cashu Mint HTTP Client
+```
+
+Add NIP-60/61 functions to the quick reference comment block.
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+The implementation should proceed in this order due to dependencies:
+
+1. **Error codes** in `nostr_common.h` — no dependencies
+2. **Cashu proof types** — shared between NIP-60 and NIP-61
+3. **`cashu_mint.h/c`** — Cashu mint HTTP client (depends on curl, cJSON)
+4. **`nip060.h/c`** — NIP-60 wallet events (depends on NIP-44, NIP-01, cashu types)
+5. **`nip061.h/c`** — NIP-61 nutzaps (depends on NIP-60 types, cashu types)
+6. **Build system** — update `build.sh` and `nostr_core.h`
+7. **Tests** — `nip60_test.c`, `nip61_test.c`, `cashu_mint_test.c`
+8. **Example** — `cashu_wallet.c`
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Self-encryption for NIP-44
+NIP-60 encrypts content to the user's own key (sender = recipient). The NIP-44 encrypt/decrypt functions take sender_private_key and recipient_public_key. For self-encryption, we derive the user's public key from their private key and use that as the recipient.
+
+### 2. Cashu Crypto (Blinding)
+The Cashu protocol requires elliptic curve blinding operations (hash-to-curve, blind/unblind). These use secp256k1 which is already a dependency. The blinding math is:
+- `B_ = Y + r*G` where Y = hash_to_curve(secret), r = random blinding factor
+- `C_ = k*B_` (mint signs)
+- `C = C_ - r*K` where K = mint's public key (unblind)
+
+### 3. P2PK Secrets
+For NIP-61 nutzaps, proof secrets use the P2PK format:
+```json
+["P2PK", {"nonce": "<random>", "data": "02<pubkey>"}]
+```
+The `02` prefix is required for nostr-cashu compatibility.
+
+### 4. Curl Usage
+Following the same pattern as `nip005.c` — direct curl usage with write callbacks. No abstraction layer needed since curl is already a project dependency.
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+### NIP-60 Tests
+- Create and parse wallet events (round-trip encryption)
+- Create and parse token events with multiple proofs
+- Token deletion event creation
+- Rollover token creation with del references
+- History event creation and parsing
+- Quote event creation and parsing
+- Proof sum calculation
+- Filter creation helpers
+
+### NIP-61 Tests
+- Create and parse nutzap info events
+- Create and parse nutzap events
+- Nutzap verification against kind:10019
+- Redemption history event creation
+- Filter creation helpers
+
+### Cashu Mint Tests
+- Mint info parsing from JSON
+- Keyset parsing
+- Blinded message creation
+- Signature unblinding
+- P2PK secret generation
+- Proof state checking (mock or live mint)
+

- * - Using the new event processing functions
- * - Displaying raw data output without interpretation
