Refactor signer implementation to use p8k package

- Replaced all instances of p256k1signer with the new p8k.Signer across various modules, including event creation, policy handling, and database interactions. - Updated related test cases and benchmarks to ensure compatibility with the new signer interface. - Bumped version to v0.25.0 to reflect these significant changes and improvements in cryptographic operations.

+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All functions return errors. Common error conditions:
+
+- Library not loaded or not found
+- Invalid parameter sizes
+- Invalid keys or signatures
+- Module not available (Schnorr, ECDH, Recovery)
+
+Always check returned errors:
+

+result, err := secp.SomeFunction(...)
+if err != nil {
+    // Handle error
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Thread Safety
+
+Context objects are **NOT** thread-safe. Each goroutine should create its own context.
+
+Utility functions are safe to use concurrently as they create temporary contexts.
+
+---
+
+## Memory Management
+
+Contexts are automatically cleaned up via finalizers, but explicit cleanup with `Destroy()` is recommended:
+
+```go
+ctx, _ := secp.NewContext(secp.ContextSign)
+defer ctx.Destroy()
+```
+
+All byte slices returned by the library are copies and safe to use/modify.

+# P8K Signer Package Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Created a new `/p8k` package that provides a unified secp256k1 signer interface with **granular automatic fallback** from C bindings to pure Go implementation.
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. **Granular Module Detection**
+The signer automatically detects which libsecp256k1 modules are available at runtime:
+- **Core ECDSA**: Always uses C if library loads
+- **Schnorr (BIP-340)**: Uses C if Schnorr module available, otherwise pure Go fallback
+- **ECDH**: Uses C if ECDH module available, otherwise pure Go fallback  
+- **Recovery**: Uses C if Recovery module available, otherwise pure Go fallback
+
+### 2. **Per-Function Fallback**
+Unlike all-or-nothing approaches, this implementation falls back on a per-function basis:
+```
+Library Available + Schnorr Missing:
+  ✓ ECDSA operations → C bindings (fast)
+  ✓ Public key generation → C bindings (fast)
+  ✗ Schnorr operations → Pure Go p256k1 (reliable)
+  ✓ ECDH operations → C bindings (fast)
+```
+
+### 3. **Thread-Safe**
+All operations are protected with RWMutex for safe concurrent access.
+
+### 4. **Zero Configuration**
+No manual configuration needed - fallback happens automatically during initialization.
+
+## Package Structure
+
+```
+/p8k/
+├── signer.go        # Main implementation with granular fallback
+├── signer_test.go   # Comprehensive test suite
+├── go.mod           # Module definition
+└── README.md        # Package documentation
+```
+
+## API
+
+### Initialization
+```go
+signer, err := p8k.NewSigner()
+defer signer.Close()
+```
+
+### Status Checking
+```go
+status := signer.GetModuleStatus()
+// Returns: map[string]bool{
+//   "library": true/false,
+//   "schnorr": true/false,
+//   "ecdh": true/false,
+//   "recovery": true/false,
+// }
+
+isFullFallback := signer.IsUsingFallback()
+```
+
+### Cryptographic Operations
+```go
+// Public key derivation
+pubkey, err := signer.GeneratePublicKey(privkey)
+
+// Schnorr signatures (BIP-340)
+sig, err := signer.SchnorrSign(msg32, privkey, auxrand)
+valid, err := signer.SchnorrVerify(sig, msg32, xonlyPubkey)
+xonly, err := signer.GetXOnlyPubkey(privkey)
+
+// ECDSA signatures
+sig, err := signer.Sign(msg, privkey)
+valid, err := signer.Verify(msg, sig, pubkey)
+
+// ECDH key exchange
+secret, err := signer.ECDHSharedSecret(theirPubkey, myPrivkey)
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Module Detection Process
+1. **Library Load**: Attempts to load libsecp256k1 via purego
+2. **Module Testing**: If library loads, tests each optional module:
+   - Creates test keys and attempts module-specific operations
+   - Uses panic recovery to handle missing functions gracefully
+   - Sets module availability flags
+3. **Runtime Fallback**: Each function checks relevant flags before calling C or Go
+
+### Fallback Strategy
+```go
+func (s *Signer) SchnorrSign(...) {
+    // Check if Schnorr module is available
+    if !s.hasLibrary || !s.hasSchnorr {
+        // Use pure Go p256k1
+        return p256k1.SchnorrSign(...)
+    }
+    // Use C bindings
+    return s.ctx.SchnorrSign(...)
+}
+```
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Extended the benchmark suite in `/bench/bench_test.go` to include Signer interface benchmarks:
+
+### New Benchmarks
+- `BenchmarkSigner_PubkeyDerivation`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_SchnorrSign`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_SchnorrVerify`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_ECDH`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_ECDSASign`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_ECDSAVerify`
+- `BenchmarkSigner_ModuleDetection` - Measures initialization overhead
+- `BenchmarkSigner_GetModuleStatus` - Measures status check overhead
+
+### Comparative Benchmarks
+All comparative benchmarks now include the Signer interface:
+- `BenchmarkComparative_PubkeyDerivation` - BTCEC vs P256K1 vs P8K vs **Signer**
+- `BenchmarkComparative_SchnorrSign` - BTCEC vs P256K1 vs P8K vs **Signer**
+- `BenchmarkComparative_SchnorrVerify` - BTCEC vs P256K1 vs P8K vs **Signer**
+- `BenchmarkComparative_ECDH` - BTCEC vs P256K1 vs P8K vs **Signer**
+
+### Running Benchmarks
+```bash
+cd bench
+
+# Run all Signer benchmarks
+go test -bench=Signer -benchmem
+
+# Run comparative benchmarks
+go test -bench=Comparative -benchmem
+
+# Run all benchmarks
+go test -bench=. -benchmem
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Scenario 1: Full C Performance
+```
+Library: ✓, Schnorr: ✓, ECDH: ✓
+→ All operations use C bindings (maximum performance)
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Partial Modules (Most Interesting)
+```
+Library: ✓, Schnorr: ✗, ECDH: ✓
+→ ECDSA and ECDH use C (fast)
+→ Schnorr uses pure Go (reliable)
+→ Mixed mode operation
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: No Library Available
+```
+Library: ✗, Schnorr: ✗, ECDH: ✗
+→ All operations use pure Go (guaranteed compatibility)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The test suite includes:
+- Module detection testing
+- Per-function fallback verification
+- Mixed-mode operation tests (C + Go simultaneously)
+- Schnorr sign/verify round-trips
+- ECDH shared secret agreement
+- ECDSA sign/verify round-trips
+
+Run tests:
+```bash
+cd p8k
+go test -v
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Maximum Performance**: Uses C when available
+2. **Maximum Compatibility**: Falls back to pure Go when needed
+3. **Granular Control**: Per-function fallback, not all-or-nothing
+4. **Zero Config**: Automatic detection and fallback
+5. **Production Ready**: Thread-safe, tested, documented
+
+## Integration
+
+To use in your project:
+```go
+import "next.orly.dev/pkg/crypto/p8k/p8k"
+
+func main() {
+    signer, err := p8k.NewSigner()
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    defer signer.Close()
+    
+    // Check what's being used
+    status := signer.GetModuleStatus()
+    log.Printf("Using C Schnorr: %v", status["schnorr"])
+    
+    // Use it - same API regardless of backend
+    sig, _ := signer.SchnorrSign(msg, privkey, auxrand)
+}
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential additions:
+- Metrics/telemetry for fallback usage
+- Configurable fallback behavior
+- Additional module support (MuSig, Taproot, etc.)
+- Benchmark results comparison tool
+- Performance regression testing
+
+## Files Modified/Created
+
+### Created
+- `/p8k/signer.go` - Main signer implementation (398 lines)
+- `/p8k/signer_test.go` - Test suite (187 lines)
+- `/p8k/go.mod` - Module definition
+- `/p8k/README.md` - Package documentation
+- `/p8k/IMPLEMENTATION.md` - This file
+
+### Modified
+- `/bench/bench_test.go` - Added Signer benchmarks and comparative tests
+- `/bench/go.mod` - Added p8k/p8k dependency
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+When Schnorr module is missing (most interesting case):
+- **Public key derivation**: C performance (~20μs)
+- **ECDSA operations**: C performance (~20-40μs)
+- **ECDH**: C performance (~40μs)
+- **Schnorr sign**: Pure Go (~30μs)
+- **Schnorr verify**: Pure Go (~130μs)
+
+This gives you the best of both worlds - C performance where available, Go reliability everywhere.

+# Bundled Library for Linux AMD64
+
+This directory contains a bundled copy of libsecp256k1 for Linux AMD64 systems.
+
+## Library Information
+
+- **File**: `libsecp256k1.so`
+- **Version**: 5.0.0
+- **Size**: 1.8 MB
+- **Built**: November 4, 2025
+- **Architecture**: Linux AMD64
+- **Modules**: Schnorr, ECDH, Recovery, Extrakeys
+
+## Why Bundled?
+
+The bundled library provides several benefits:
+
+1. **Zero Installation** - Works out of the box on Linux AMD64
+2. **Consistent Version** - Ensures all users have the same tested version
+3. **Full Module Support** - Built with all optional modules enabled
+4. **Performance** - Optimized build with latest features
+
+## Usage
+
+The library loader automatically tries the bundled library first on Linux AMD64:
+
+```go
+ctx, err := secp.NewContext(secp.ContextSign | secp.ContextVerify)
+// Uses bundled ./libsecp256k1.so on Linux AMD64
+```
+
+## Build Information
+
+The bundled library was built from the Bitcoin Core secp256k1 repository with:
+
+```bash
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-module-recovery \
+            --enable-module-schnorrsig \
+            --enable-module-ecdh \
+            --enable-module-extrakeys \
+            --enable-benchmark=no \
+            --enable-tests=no
+make
+```
+
+## Fallback
+
+If the bundled library doesn't work for your system, the loader will automatically fall back to system-installed versions:
+
+1. `libsecp256k1.so.5` (system)
+2. `libsecp256k1.so.2` (system)
+3. `/usr/lib/libsecp256k1.so`
+4. `/usr/local/lib/libsecp256k1.so`
+5. `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsecp256k1.so`
+
+## Other Platforms
+
+For other platforms (macOS, Windows, or other architectures), install libsecp256k1 using your system package manager:
+
+**macOS:**
+```bash
+brew install libsecp256k1
+```
+

+# Quick Reference Guide for p8k.mleku.dev
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get p8k.mleku.dev
+```
+
+## Library Requirements
+
+Install libsecp256k1 on your system:
+
+**Ubuntu/Debian:**
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-dev
+```
+
+**macOS:**
+```bash
+brew install libsecp256k1
+```
+
+**From source:**
+```bash
+make install-secp256k1
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic ECDSA
+
+```go
+import "next.orly.dev/pkg/crypto/p8k"
+
+// Generate key pair
+privKey, _ := secp.GeneratePrivateKey()
+pubKey, _ := secp.PublicKeyFromPrivate(privKey, true) // compressed
+
+// Sign message
+msgHash := sha256.Sum256([]byte("Hello"))
+sig, _ := secp.SignMessage(msgHash[:], privKey)
+
+// Verify signature
+valid, _ := secp.VerifyMessage(msgHash[:], sig, pubKey)
+```
+
+### Schnorr Signatures (BIP-340)
+
+```go
+// Generate x-only public key
+xonly, _, _ := secp.XOnlyPubKeyFromPrivate(privKey)
+
+// Sign with Schnorr
+auxRand, _ := secp.GeneratePrivateKey() // 32 random bytes
+sig, _ := secp.SchnorrSign(msgHash[:], privKey, auxRand)
+
+// Verify
+valid, _ := secp.SchnorrVerifyWithPubKey(msgHash[:], sig, xonly)
+```
+
+### ECDH Key Exchange
+
+```go
+// Compute shared secret
+sharedSecret, _ := secp.ComputeECDH(theirPubKey, myPrivKey)
+```
+
+### Public Key Recovery
+
+```go
+// Sign with recovery
+sig, recID, _ := secp.SignRecoverableCompact(msgHash[:], privKey)
+
+// Recover public key
+recoveredPubKey, _ := secp.RecoverPubKey(msgHash[:], sig, recID, true)
+```
+
+## Context-Based API (Advanced)
+
+For more control, use the context-based API:
+
+```go
+ctx, _ := secp.NewContext(secp.ContextSign | secp.ContextVerify)
+defer ctx.Destroy()
+
+// Use ctx methods directly
+pubKey, _ := ctx.CreatePublicKey(privKey)
+sig, _ := ctx.Sign(msgHash[:], privKey)
+valid, _ := ctx.Verify(msgHash[:], sig, pubKey)
+```
+
+## Constants
+
+```go
+secp.PrivateKeySize              // 32 bytes
+secp.PublicKeySize               // 64 bytes (internal format)
+secp.CompressedPublicKeySize     // 33 bytes (serialized)
+secp.UncompressedPublicKeySize   // 65 bytes (serialized)
+secp.SignatureSize               // 64 bytes (internal format)
+secp.CompactSignatureSize        // 64 bytes (serialized)
+secp.SchnorrSignatureSize        // 64 bytes
+secp.SharedSecretSize            // 32 bytes
+secp.RecoverableSignatureSize    // 65 bytes
+```
+
+## Context Flags
+
+```go
+secp.ContextNone       // No flags
+secp.ContextVerify     // For verification operations
+secp.ContextSign       // For signing operations
+secp.ContextDeclassify // For declassification
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run tests
+make test
+
+# Run benchmarks
+make bench
+
+# Run examples
+make run-examples
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Reuse contexts**: Creating contexts is expensive. Reuse them when possible.
+2. **Use utility functions**: For one-off operations, utility functions manage contexts for you.
+3. **Batch operations**: If doing many operations, create one context and use it for all.
+
+## Module Availability
+
+Not all modules may be available in your libsecp256k1 build:
+
+- **ECDSA**: Always available
+- **Schnorr**: Requires `--enable-module-schnorrsig`
+- **ECDH**: Requires `--enable-module-ecdh`
+- **Recovery**: Requires `--enable-module-recovery`
+
+Functions will return an error if the required module is not available.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All functions return errors. Always check them:
+
+```go
+sig, err := secp.SignMessage(msgHash[:], privKey)
+if err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+```
+
+## Thread Safety
+
+Context objects are NOT thread-safe. Each goroutine should have its own context.
+
+```go
+// BAD: Sharing context across goroutines
+ctx, _ := secp.NewContext(secp.ContextSign)
+go func() { ctx.Sign(...) }()
+go func() { ctx.Sign(...) }() // Race condition!
+
+// GOOD: Each goroutine gets its own context
+go func() {
+    ctx, _ := secp.NewContext(secp.ContextSign)
+    defer ctx.Destroy()
+    ctx.Sign(...)
+}()
+```

+# p8k - Unified Secp256k1 Signer with Automatic Fallback
+
+This package provides a unified interface for secp256k1 cryptographic operations with automatic fallback from C bindings to pure Go.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Granular Fallback**: Uses libsecp256k1 via purego when available, falls back to pure Go p256k1 on a per-function basis
+- **Module Detection**: Automatically detects which libsecp256k1 modules (Schnorr, ECDH, Recovery) are available
+- **No Manual Configuration**: Fallback happens automatically at initialization
+- **Thread-Safe**: All operations are protected with RWMutex
+- **Complete API**: Schnorr (BIP-340), ECDSA, ECDH, and public key operations
+- **Transparent Performance**: Get C-level performance when possible, pure Go reliability always
+
+## How It Works
+
+The signer detects which optional modules are compiled into libsecp256k1:
+
+- **Core functions** (ECDSA, pubkey): Always use C if library loads
+- **Schnorr functions**: Use C if Schnorr module available, otherwise pure Go
+- **ECDH functions**: Use C if ECDH module available, otherwise pure Go
+- **Recovery functions**: Use C if Recovery module available, otherwise pure Go
+
+This means you can have libsecp256k1 without Schnorr support, and the signer will use C for ECDSA while transparently falling back to pure Go for Schnorr operations.
+
+## Usage
+
+```go
+import "next.orly.dev/pkg/crypto/p8k/p8k"
+
+func main() {
+    // Create signer (automatically detects and falls back)
+    signer, err := p8k.NewSigner()
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    defer signer.Close()
+    
+    // Check which modules are available
+    status := signer.GetModuleStatus()
+    log.Printf("Library: %v, Schnorr: %v, ECDH: %v", 
+        status["library"], status["schnorr"], status["ecdh"])
+    
+    // Use normally - interface is the same regardless
+    privkey := make([]byte, 32)
+    rand.Read(privkey)
+    
+    pubkey, _ := signer.GeneratePublicKey(privkey)
+    sig, _ := signer.SchnorrSign(msg, privkey, auxrand)
+    valid, _ := signer.SchnorrVerify(sig, msg, xonly)
+}
+```
+
+## API
+
+- `NewSigner()` - Create new signer with auto-fallback
+- `Close()` - Clean up resources
+- `IsUsingFallback()` - Check if using pure Go for everything
+- `GetModuleStatus()` - Check which modules are available
+- `GeneratePublicKey(privkey)` - Derive public key
+- `SchnorrSign(msg, privkey, auxrand)` - BIP-340 Schnorr signature
+- `SchnorrVerify(sig, msg, xonly)` - Verify Schnorr signature
+- `Sign(msg, privkey)` - ECDSA signature
+- `Verify(msg, sig, pubkey)` - Verify ECDSA signature
+- `ECDHSharedSecret(pubkey, privkey)` - Compute shared secret
+- `GetXOnlyPubkey(privkey)` - Extract x-only pubkey
+
+## Performance
+
+When libsecp256k1 is available with all modules, you get full C-level performance. When specific modules are missing, only those functions fall back to pure Go while the rest stay at C performance.
+
+## Module Status Examples
+
+**Full C bindings (all modules available):**
+```
+Library: true, Schnorr: true, ECDH: true, Recovery: true
+→ All operations use C bindings (maximum performance)
+```
+
+**Partial C bindings (Schnorr module missing):**
+```
+Library: true, Schnorr: false, ECDH: true, Recovery: true
+→ ECDSA and ECDH use C, Schnorr uses pure Go
+```
+
+**Full pure Go fallback (library not available):**
+```
+Library: false, Schnorr: false, ECDH: false, Recovery: false
+→ All operations use pure Go (guaranteed compatibility)

+## Benefits Over CGO
+
+1. **No C Compiler**: No need for GCC/Clang during builds
+2. **Faster Builds**: No C compilation step
+3. **Cross-Compilation**: Easier to cross-compile
+4. **Pure Go**: Better integration with Go tooling
+5. **Runtime Linking**: Can use system-installed libraries
+6. **Bundled Library**: Linux AMD64 includes pre-built library (zero installation!)
+
+## System Requirements
+
+**Linux AMD64**: ✅ Bundled library included (libsecp256k1.so v5.0.0, 1.8 MB) - works out of the box!

+# Benchmark Suite - secp256k1 Implementation Comparison
+
+This benchmark suite compares three different secp256k1 implementations:
+
+1. **BTCEC** - The btcsuite implementation (https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/tree/master/btcec)
+2. **P256K1** - Pure Go implementation (https://github.com/mleku/p256k1)
+3. **P8K** - This package using purego for CGO-free C library bindings
+
+## Operations Benchmarked
+
+- **Public Key Derivation**: Generating a public key from a private key
+- **Schnorr Sign**: Creating BIP-340 Schnorr signatures (X-only)

+benchstat results.txt
+```
+
+## Expected Results
+
+The benchmarks will show:
+
+- **Operations per second** for each implementation
+- **Memory allocations** per operation
+- **Bytes allocated** per operation
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+
+**BTCEC**:
+- Pure Go implementation
+- Well-optimized for Bitcoin use cases
+- No external dependencies
+
+**P256K1**:
+- Pure Go implementation
+- Direct port from libsecp256k1 C code
+- May have different optimization tradeoffs
+
+**P8K (this package)**:
+- Uses libsecp256k1 C library via purego
+- No CGO required
+- Performance close to native C
+- Requires libsecp256k1 installed
+
+## Understanding Results
+
+Example output:
+```
+BenchmarkAll/PubkeyDerivation/BTCEC-8      100000    10234 ns/op    128 B/op    2 allocs/op
+BenchmarkAll/PubkeyDerivation/P256K1-8      80000    12456 ns/op    192 B/op    4 allocs/op
+BenchmarkAll/PubkeyDerivation/P8K-8        120000     8765 ns/op     64 B/op    1 allocs/op
+```
+
+- **ns/op**: Nanoseconds per operation (lower is better)
+- **B/op**: Bytes allocated per operation (lower is better)
+- **allocs/op**: Number of allocations per operation (lower is better)
+
+## Benchmark Parameters
+
+All benchmarks use:
+- 32-byte random private keys
+- 32-byte SHA-256 message hashes
+- 32-byte auxiliary randomness for signing
+- Deterministic test data for reproducibility
+
+## Notes
+
+- P8K benchmarks will be skipped if libsecp256k1 is not installed
+- Schnorr operations require the schnorrsig module in libsecp256k1
+  - If not available, P8K Schnorr benchmarks will be skipped
+  - Install with: `./configure --enable-module-schnorrsig` when building from source
+- ECDH operations require the ecdh module in libsecp256k1
+  - If not available, P8K ECDH benchmarks will be skipped  
+  - Install with: `./configure --enable-module-ecdh` when building from source
+- Benchmark duration can be adjusted with `-benchtime` flag
+- Use `-count` flag for multiple runs to get better statistical data
+
+**Note:** Even if some P8K benchmarks are skipped, the comparison between BTCEC and P256K1 will still provide valuable performance data.
+
+## Analyzing Trade-offs
+
+When choosing an implementation, consider:
+
+1. **Performance**: Which is fastest for your use case?
+2. **Dependencies**: Do you want pure Go or C library?
+3. **Build System**: CGO vs CGO-free vs pure Go?
+4. **Cross-compilation**: Easier with pure Go or purego?
+5. **Security**: All implementations are based on well-audited code
+
+## Contributing
+
+To add more benchmarks or implementations:
+
+1. Add new benchmark functions following the naming pattern
+2. Include them in the comparative benchmark groups
+3. Update this README with new operations
+4. Submit a PR!
