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.

+description: This skill should be used when writing, debugging, reviewing, or discussing Go (Golang) code. Provides comprehensive Go programming expertise including idiomatic patterns, standard library, concurrency, error handling, testing, and best practices based on official go.dev documentation.
+---
+
+# Go Programming Expert
+
+## Purpose
+
+This skill provides expert-level assistance with Go programming language development, covering language fundamentals, idiomatic patterns, concurrency, error handling, standard library usage, testing, and best practices.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Activate this skill when:
+- Writing Go code
+- Debugging Go programs
+- Reviewing Go code for best practices
+- Answering questions about Go language features
+- Implementing Go-specific patterns (goroutines, channels, interfaces)
+- Setting up Go projects and modules
+- Writing Go tests
+
+## Core Principles
+
+When writing Go code, always follow these principles:
+
+1. **Named Return Variables**: ALWAYS use named return variables and prefer naked returns for cleaner code
+2. **Error Handling**: Use `lol.mleku.dev/log` and the `chk/errorf` for error checking and creating new errors
+3. **Idiomatic Code**: Write clear, idiomatic Go code following Effective Go guidelines
+4. **Simplicity**: Favor simplicity and clarity over cleverness
+5. **Composition**: Prefer composition over inheritance
+6. **Explicit**: Be explicit rather than implicit
+
+## Key Go Concepts
+
+### Functions with Named Returns
+
+Always use named return values:
+```go
+func divide(a, b float64) (result float64, err error) {
+    if b == 0 {
+        err = errorf.New("division by zero")
+        return
+    }
+    result = a / b
+    return
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Use the specified error handling packages:
+```go
+import "lol.mleku.dev/log"
+
+// Error checking with chk
+if err := doSomething(); chk.E(err) {
+    return
+}
+
+// Creating errors with errorf
+err := errorf.New("something went wrong")
+err := errorf.Errorf("failed to process: %v", value)
+```
+
+### Interfaces and Composition
+
+Go uses implicit interface implementation:
+```go
+type Reader interface {
+    Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
+}
+
+// Any type with a Read method implements Reader
+type File struct {
+    name string
+}
+
+func (f *File) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error) {
+    // Implementation
+    return
+}
+```
+
+### Concurrency
+
+Use goroutines and channels for concurrent programming:
+```go
+// Launch goroutine
+go doWork()
+
+// Channels
+ch := make(chan int, 10)
+ch <- 42
+value := <-ch
+
+// Select statement
+select {
+case msg := <-ch1:
+    // Handle
+case <-time.After(time.Second):
+    // Timeout
+}
+
+// Sync primitives
+var mu sync.Mutex
+mu.Lock()
+defer mu.Unlock()
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+Use table-driven tests as the default pattern:
+```go
+func TestAdd(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name     string
+        a, b     int
+        expected int
+    }{
+        {"positive", 2, 3, 5},
+        {"negative", -1, -1, -2},
+        {"zero", 0, 5, 5},
+    }
+    
+    for _, tt := range tests {
+        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
+            result := Add(tt.a, tt.b)
+            if result != tt.expected {
+                t.Errorf("got %d, want %d", result, tt.expected)
+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Reference Materials
+
+For detailed information, consult the reference files:
+
+- **references/effective-go-summary.md** - Key points from Effective Go including formatting, naming, control structures, functions, data allocation, methods, interfaces, concurrency principles, and error handling philosophy
+
+- **references/common-patterns.md** - Practical Go patterns including:
+  - Design patterns (Functional Options, Builder, Singleton, Factory, Strategy)

+  - Resource management patterns
+  - Testing patterns
+
+- **references/quick-reference.md** - Quick syntax cheatsheet with common commands, format verbs, standard library snippets, and best practices checklist
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+1. **Naming Conventions**
+   - Use camelCase for variables and functions
+   - Use PascalCase for exported names
+   - Keep names short but descriptive
+   - Interface names often end in -er (Reader, Writer, Handler)
+
+2. **Error Handling**
+   - Always check errors
+   - Use named return values
+   - Use lol.mleku.dev/log and chk/errorf
+
+3. **Code Organization**
+   - One package per directory
+   - Use internal/ for non-exported packages
+   - Use cmd/ for applications
+   - Use pkg/ for reusable libraries
+
+4. **Concurrency**
+   - Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating
+   - Always close channels from sender
+   - Use defer for cleanup
+
+5. **Documentation**
+   - Comment all exported names
+   - Start comments with the name being described
+   - Use godoc format
+

+# Go Common Patterns and Idioms
+
+## Design Patterns
+
+### Functional Options Pattern
+
+Used for configuring objects with many optional parameters:
+
+```go
+type Server struct {
+    host    string
+    port    int
+    timeout time.Duration
+    maxConn int
+}
+
+type Option func(*Server)
+
+func WithHost(host string) Option {
+    return func(s *Server) {
+        s.host = host
+    }
+}
+
+func WithPort(port int) Option {
+    return func(s *Server) {
+        s.port = port
+    }
+}
+
+func WithTimeout(timeout time.Duration) Option {
+    return func(s *Server) {
+        s.timeout = timeout
+    }
+}
+
+func NewServer(opts ...Option) *Server {
+    // Set defaults
+    s := &Server{
+        host:    "localhost",
+        port:    8080,
+        timeout: 30 * time.Second,
+        maxConn: 100,
+    }
+    
+    // Apply options
+    for _, opt := range opts {
+        opt(s)
+    }
+    
+    return s
+}
+
+// Usage
+srv := NewServer(
+    WithHost("example.com"),
+    WithPort(443),
+    WithTimeout(60 * time.Second),
+)
+```
+
+### Builder Pattern
+
+For complex object construction:
+
+```go
+type HTTPRequest struct {
+    method  string
+    url     string
+    headers map[string]string
+    body    []byte
+}
+
+type RequestBuilder struct {
+    request *HTTPRequest
+}
+
+func NewRequestBuilder() *RequestBuilder {
+    return &RequestBuilder{
+        request: &HTTPRequest{
+            headers: make(map[string]string),
+        },
+    }
+}
+
+func (b *RequestBuilder) Method(method string) *RequestBuilder {
+    b.request.method = method
+    return b
+}
+
+func (b *RequestBuilder) URL(url string) *RequestBuilder {
+    b.request.url = url
+    return b
+}
+
+func (b *RequestBuilder) Header(key, value string) *RequestBuilder {
+    b.request.headers[key] = value
+    return b
+}
+
+func (b *RequestBuilder) Body(body []byte) *RequestBuilder {
+    b.request.body = body
+    return b
+}
+
+func (b *RequestBuilder) Build() *HTTPRequest {
+    return b.request
+}
+
+// Usage
+req := NewRequestBuilder().
+    Method("POST").
+    URL("https://api.example.com").
+    Header("Content-Type", "application/json").
+    Body([]byte(`{"key":"value"}`)).
+    Build()
+```
+
+### Singleton Pattern
+
+Thread-safe singleton using sync.Once:
+
+```go
+type Database struct {
+    conn *sql.DB
+}
+
+var (
+    instance *Database
+    once     sync.Once
+)
+
+func GetDatabase() *Database {
+    once.Do(func() {
+        conn, err := sql.Open("postgres", "connection-string")
+        if err != nil {
+            log.Fatal(err)
+        }
+        instance = &Database{conn: conn}
+    })
+    return instance
+}
+```
+
+### Factory Pattern
+
+```go
+type Animal interface {
+    Speak() string
+}
+
+type Dog struct{}
+func (d Dog) Speak() string { return "Woof!" }
+
+type Cat struct{}
+func (c Cat) Speak() string { return "Meow!" }
+
+type AnimalFactory struct{}
+
+func (f *AnimalFactory) CreateAnimal(animalType string) Animal {
+    switch animalType {
+    case "dog":
+        return &Dog{}
+    case "cat":
+        return &Cat{}
+    default:
+        return nil
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Strategy Pattern
+
+```go
+type PaymentStrategy interface {
+    Pay(amount float64) error
+}
+
+type CreditCard struct {
+    number string
+}
+
+func (c *CreditCard) Pay(amount float64) error {
+    fmt.Printf("Paying %.2f using credit card %s\n", amount, c.number)
+    return nil
+}
+
+type PayPal struct {
+    email string
+}
+
+func (p *PayPal) Pay(amount float64) error {
+    fmt.Printf("Paying %.2f using PayPal account %s\n", amount, p.email)
+    return nil
+}
+
+type PaymentContext struct {
+    strategy PaymentStrategy
+}
+
+func (pc *PaymentContext) SetStrategy(strategy PaymentStrategy) {
+    pc.strategy = strategy
+}
+
+func (pc *PaymentContext) ExecutePayment(amount float64) error {
+    return pc.strategy.Pay(amount)
+}
+```
+
+## Concurrency Patterns
+
+### Worker Pool
+
+```go
+func worker(id int, jobs <-chan Job, results chan<- Result) {
+    for job := range jobs {
+        result := processJob(job)
+        results <- result
+    }
+}
+
+func WorkerPool(numWorkers int, jobs []Job) []Result {
+    jobsChan := make(chan Job, len(jobs))
+    results := make(chan Result, len(jobs))
+    
+    // Start workers
+    for w := 1; w <= numWorkers; w++ {
+        go worker(w, jobsChan, results)
+    }
+    
+    // Send jobs
+    for _, job := range jobs {
+        jobsChan <- job
+    }
+    close(jobsChan)
+    
+    // Collect results
+    var output []Result
+    for range jobs {
+        output = append(output, <-results)
+    }
+    
+    return output
+}
+```
+
+### Pipeline Pattern
+
+```go
+func generator(nums ...int) <-chan int {
+    out := make(chan int)
+    go func() {
+        for _, n := range nums {
+            out <- n
+        }
+        close(out)
+    }()
+    return out
+}
+
+func square(in <-chan int) <-chan int {
+    out := make(chan int)
+    go func() {
+        for n := range in {
+            out <- n * n
+        }
+        close(out)
+    }()
+    return out
+}
+
+func main() {
+    // Create pipeline
+    c := generator(2, 3, 4)
+    out := square(c)
+    
+    // Consume output
+    for result := range out {
+        fmt.Println(result)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Fan-Out, Fan-In
+
+```go
+func fanOut(in <-chan int, n int) []<-chan int {
+    channels := make([]<-chan int, n)
+    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
+        channels[i] = worker(in)
+    }
+    return channels
+}
+
+func worker(in <-chan int) <-chan int {
+    out := make(chan int)
+    go func() {
+        for n := range in {
+            out <- expensiveOperation(n)
+        }
+        close(out)
+    }()
+    return out
+}
+
+func fanIn(channels ...<-chan int) <-chan int {
+    out := make(chan int)
+    var wg sync.WaitGroup
+    
+    wg.Add(len(channels))
+    for _, c := range channels {
+        go func(ch <-chan int) {
+            defer wg.Done()
+            for n := range ch {
+                out <- n
+            }
+        }(c)
+    }
+    
+    go func() {
+        wg.Wait()
+        close(out)
+    }()
+    
+    return out
+}
+```
+
+### Timeout Pattern
+
+```go
+func DoWithTimeout(timeout time.Duration) (result string, err error) {
+    done := make(chan struct{})
+    
+    go func() {
+        result = expensiveOperation()
+        close(done)
+    }()
+    
+    select {
+    case <-done:
+        return result, nil
+    case <-time.After(timeout):
+        return "", fmt.Errorf("operation timed out after %v", timeout)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    server := &http.Server{Addr: ":8080"}
+    
+    // Start server in goroutine
+    go func() {
+        if err := server.ListenAndServe(); err != nil && err != http.ErrServerClosed {
+            log.Fatalf("listen: %s\n", err)
+        }
+    }()
+    
+    // Wait for interrupt signal
+    quit := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
+    signal.Notify(quit, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
+    <-quit
+    log.Println("Shutting down server...")
+    
+    // Graceful shutdown with timeout
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+    defer cancel()
+    
+    if err := server.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
+        log.Fatal("Server forced to shutdown:", err)
+    }
+    
+    log.Println("Server exiting")
+}
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+```go
+func rateLimiter(rate time.Duration) <-chan time.Time {
+    return time.Tick(rate)
+}
+
+func main() {
+    limiter := rateLimiter(200 * time.Millisecond)
+    
+    for req := range requests {
+        <-limiter  // Wait for rate limiter
+        go handleRequest(req)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Circuit Breaker
+
+```go
+type CircuitBreaker struct {
+    maxFailures int
+    timeout     time.Duration
+    failures    int
+    lastFail    time.Time
+    state       string
+    mu          sync.Mutex
+}
+
+func (cb *CircuitBreaker) Call(fn func() error) error {
+    cb.mu.Lock()
+    defer cb.mu.Unlock()
+    
+    if cb.state == "open" {
+        if time.Since(cb.lastFail) > cb.timeout {
+            cb.state = "half-open"
+        } else {
+            return fmt.Errorf("circuit breaker is open")
+        }
+    }
+    
+    err := fn()
+    if err != nil {
+        cb.failures++
+        cb.lastFail = time.Now()
+        if cb.failures >= cb.maxFailures {
+            cb.state = "open"
+        }
+        return err
+    }
+    
+    cb.failures = 0
+    cb.state = "closed"
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+
+### Error Wrapping
+
+```go
+func processFile(filename string) (err error) {
+    data, err := readFile(filename)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("failed to process file %s: %w", filename, err)
+    }
+    
+    if err := validate(data); err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("validation failed for %s: %w", filename, err)
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Sentinel Errors
+
+```go
+var (
+    ErrNotFound     = errors.New("not found")
+    ErrUnauthorized = errors.New("unauthorized")
+    ErrInvalidInput = errors.New("invalid input")
+)
+
+func FindUser(id int) (*User, error) {
+    user, exists := users[id]
+    if !exists {
+        return nil, ErrNotFound
+    }
+    return user, nil
+}
+
+// Check error
+user, err := FindUser(123)
+if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
+    // Handle not found
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Error Types
+
+```go
+type ValidationError struct {
+    Field string
+    Value interface{}
+    Err   error
+}
+
+func (e *ValidationError) Error() string {
+    return fmt.Sprintf("validation failed for field %s with value %v: %v", 
+        e.Field, e.Value, e.Err)
+}
+
+func (e *ValidationError) Unwrap() error {
+    return e.Err
+}
+
+// Usage
+var validErr *ValidationError
+if errors.As(err, &validErr) {
+    fmt.Printf("Field: %s\n", validErr.Field)
+}
+```
+
+## Resource Management Patterns
+
+### Defer for Cleanup
+
+```go
+func processFile(filename string) error {
+    file, err := os.Open(filename)
+    if err != nil {
+        return err
+    }
+    defer file.Close()
+    
+    // Process file
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Context for Cancellation
+
+```go
+func fetchData(ctx context.Context, url string) ([]byte, error) {
+    req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "GET", url, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, err
+    }
+    
+    resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, err
+    }
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
+    
+    return io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
+}
+```
+
+### Sync.Pool for Object Reuse
+
+```go
+var bufferPool = sync.Pool{
+    New: func() interface{} {
+        return new(bytes.Buffer)
+    },
+}
+
+func process() {
+    buf := bufferPool.Get().(*bytes.Buffer)
+    defer bufferPool.Put(buf)
+    
+    buf.Reset()
+    // Use buffer
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Patterns
+
+### Table-Driven Tests
+
+```go
+func TestAdd(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name     string
+        a, b     int
+        expected int
+    }{
+        {"positive numbers", 2, 3, 5},
+        {"negative numbers", -1, -1, -2},
+        {"mixed signs", -5, 10, 5},
+        {"zeros", 0, 0, 0},
+    }
+    
+    for _, tt := range tests {
+        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
+            result := Add(tt.a, tt.b)
+            if result != tt.expected {
+                t.Errorf("Add(%d, %d) = %d; want %d", 
+                    tt.a, tt.b, result, tt.expected)
+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Mock Interfaces
+
+```go
+type Database interface {
+    Get(key string) (string, error)
+    Set(key, value string) error
+}
+
+type MockDB struct {
+    data map[string]string
+}
+
+func (m *MockDB) Get(key string) (string, error) {
+    val, ok := m.data[key]
+    if !ok {
+        return "", errors.New("not found")
+    }
+    return val, nil

+# Effective Go - Key Points Summary
+
+Source: https://go.dev/doc/effective_go
+
+## Formatting
+
+- Use `gofmt` to automatically format your code
+- Indentation: use tabs
+- Line length: no strict limit, but keep reasonable
+- Parentheses: Go uses fewer parentheses than C/Java
+
+## Commentary
+
+- Every package should have a package comment
+- Every exported name should have a doc comment
+- Comments should be complete sentences
+- Start comments with the name of the element being described
+
+Example:
+```go
+// Package regexp implements regular expression search.
+package regexp
+
+// Compile parses a regular expression and returns, if successful,
+// a Regexp object that can be used to match against text.
+func Compile(str string) (*Regexp, error) {
+```
+
+## Names
+
+### Package Names
+- Short, concise, evocative
+- Lowercase, single-word
+- No underscores or mixedCaps
+- Avoid stuttering (e.g., `bytes.Buffer` not `bytes.ByteBuffer`)
+
+### Getters/Setters
+- Getter: `Owner()` not `GetOwner()`
+- Setter: `SetOwner()`
+
+### Interface Names
+- One-method interfaces use method name + -er suffix
+- Examples: `Reader`, `Writer`, `Formatter`, `CloseNotifier`
+
+### MixedCaps
+- Use `MixedCaps` or `mixedCaps` rather than underscores
+
+## Semicolons
+
+- Lexer automatically inserts semicolons
+- Never put opening brace on its own line
+
+## Control Structures
+
+### If
+```go
+if err := file.Chmod(0664); err != nil {
+    log.Print(err)
+    return err
+}
+```
+
+### Redeclaration
+```go
+f, err := os.Open(name)
+// err is declared here
+
+d, err := f.Stat()
+// err is redeclared here (same scope)
+```
+
+### For
+```go
+// Like a C for
+for init; condition; post { }
+
+// Like a C while
+for condition { }
+
+// Like a C for(;;)
+for { }
+
+// Range over array/slice/map/channel
+for key, value := range oldMap {
+    newMap[key] = value
+}
+
+// If you only need the key
+for key := range m {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// If you only need the value
+for _, value := range array {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Switch
+- No automatic fall through
+- Cases can be expressions
+- Can switch on no value (acts like if-else chain)
+
+```go
+switch {
+case '0' <= c && c <= '9':
+    return c - '0'
+case 'a' <= c && c <= 'f':
+    return c - 'a' + 10
+case 'A' <= c && c <= 'F':
+    return c - 'A' + 10
+}
+```
+
+### Type Switch
+```go
+switch t := value.(type) {
+case int:
+    fmt.Printf("int: %d\n", t)
+case string:
+    fmt.Printf("string: %s\n", t)
+default:
+    fmt.Printf("unexpected type %T\n", t)
+}
+```
+
+## Functions
+
+### Multiple Return Values
+```go
+func (file *File) Write(b []byte) (n int, err error) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Named Result Parameters
+- Named results are initialized to zero values
+- Can be used for documentation
+- Enable naked returns
+
+```go
+func ReadFull(r Reader, buf []byte) (n int, err error) {
+    for len(buf) > 0 && err == nil {
+        var nr int
+        nr, err = r.Read(buf)
+        n += nr
+        buf = buf[nr:]
+    }
+    return
+}
+```
+
+### Defer
+- Schedules function call to run after surrounding function returns
+- LIFO order
+- Arguments evaluated when defer executes
+
+```go
+func trace(s string) string {
+    fmt.Println("entering:", s)
+    return s
+}
+
+func un(s string) {
+    fmt.Println("leaving:", s)
+}
+
+func a() {
+    defer un(trace("a"))
+    fmt.Println("in a")
+}
+```
+
+## Data
+
+### Allocation with new
+- `new(T)` allocates zeroed storage for new item of type T
+- Returns `*T`
+- Returns memory address of newly allocated zero value
+
+```go
+p := new(int)   // p is *int, points to zeroed int
+```
+
+### Constructors and Composite Literals
+```go
+func NewFile(fd int, name string) *File {
+    if fd < 0 {
+        return nil
+    }
+    return &File{fd: fd, name: name}
+}
+```
+
+### Allocation with make
+- `make(T, args)` creates slices, maps, and channels only
+- Returns initialized (not zeroed) value of type T (not *T)
+
+```go
+make([]int, 10, 100)   // slice: len=10, cap=100
+make(map[string]int)   // map
+make(chan int, 10)     // buffered channel
+```
+
+### Arrays
+- Arrays are values, not pointers
+- Passing array to function copies the entire array
+- Array size is part of its type
+
+### Slices
+- Hold references to underlying array
+- Can grow dynamically with `append`
+- Passing slice passes reference
+
+### Maps
+- Hold references to underlying data structure
+- Passing map passes reference
+- Zero value is `nil`
+
+### Printing
+- `%v` - default format
+- `%+v` - struct with field names
+- `%#v` - Go syntax representation
+- `%T` - type
+- `%q` - quoted string
+
+## Initialization
+
+### Constants
+- Created at compile time
+- Can only be numbers, characters, strings, or booleans
+
+### init Function
+- Each source file can have `init()` function
+- Called after package-level variables initialized
+- Used for setup that can't be expressed as declarations
+
+```go
+func init() {
+    // initialization code
+}
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+### Pointers vs. Values
+- Value methods can be invoked on pointers and values
+- Pointer methods can only be invoked on pointers
+
+Rule: Value methods can be called on both values and pointers, but pointer methods should only be called on pointers (though Go allows calling on addressable values).
+
+```go
+type ByteSlice []byte
+
+func (slice ByteSlice) Append(data []byte) []byte {
+    // ...
+}
+
+func (p *ByteSlice) Append(data []byte) {
+    slice := *p
+    // ...
+    *p = slice
+}
+```
+
+## Interfaces and Other Types
+
+### Interfaces
+- A type implements an interface by implementing its methods
+- No explicit declaration of intent
+
+### Type Assertions
+```go
+value, ok := str.(string)
+```
+
+### Type Switches
+```go
+switch v := value.(type) {
+case string:
+    // v is string
+case int:
+    // v is int
+}
+```
+
+### Generality
+- If a type exists only to implement an interface and will never have exported methods beyond that interface, there's no need to export the type itself
+
+## The Blank Identifier
+
+### Unused Imports and Variables
+```go
+import _ "net/http/pprof"  // Import for side effects
+```
+
+### Interface Checks
+```go
+var _ json.Marshaler = (*RawMessage)(nil)
+```
+
+## Embedding
+
+### Composition, not Inheritance
+```go
+type ReadWriter struct {
+    *Reader  // *bufio.Reader
+    *Writer  // *bufio.Writer
+}
+```
+
+## Concurrency
+
+### Share by Communicating
+- Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating
+- Use channels to pass ownership
+
+### Goroutines
+- Cheap: small initial stack
+- Multiplexed onto OS threads
+- Prefix function call with `go` keyword
+
+### Channels
+- Allocate with `make`
+- Unbuffered: synchronous
+- Buffered: asynchronous up to buffer size
+
+```go
+ci := make(chan int)            // unbuffered
+cj := make(chan int, 0)         // unbuffered
+cs := make(chan *os.File, 100)  // buffered
+```
+
+### Channels of Channels
+```go
+type Request struct {
+    args        []int
+    f           func([]int) int
+    resultChan  chan int
+}
+```
+
+### Parallelization
+```go
+const numCPU = runtime.NumCPU()
+runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numCPU)
+```
+
+## Errors
+
+### Error Type
+```go
+type error interface {
+    Error() string
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Errors
+```go
+type PathError struct {
+    Op   string
+    Path string
+    Err  error
+}
+
+func (e *PathError) Error() string {
+    return e.Op + " " + e.Path + ": " + e.Err.Error()
+}
+```
+
+### Panic
+- Use for unrecoverable errors
+- Generally avoid in library code
+
+### Recover
+- Called inside deferred function
+- Stops panic sequence
+- Returns value passed to panic
+
+```go
+func server(workChan <-chan *Work) {
+    for work := range workChan {
+        go safelyDo(work)
+    }
+}
+
+func safelyDo(work *Work) {
+    defer func() {
+        if err := recover(); err != nil {
+            log.Println("work failed:", err)
+        }
+    }()
+    do(work)
+}
+```
+
+## A Web Server Example
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "log"
+    "net/http"
+)
+
+type Counter struct {
+    n int
+}
+
+func (ctr *Counter) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
+    ctr.n++
+    fmt.Fprintf(w, "counter = %d\n", ctr.n)
+}
+
+func main() {
+    ctr := new(Counter)
+    http.Handle("/counter", ctr)
+    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
+}

+time.Parse("2006-01-02", "2024-01-01")
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Basic Test
+```go
+// mycode_test.go
+package mypackage
+
+import "testing"
+
+func TestAdd(t *testing.T) {
+    result := Add(2, 3)
+    if result != 5 {
+        t.Errorf("got %d, want 5", result)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Table-Driven Test
+```go
+func TestAdd(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name     string
+        a, b     int
+        expected int
+    }{
+        {"positive", 2, 3, 5},
+        {"negative", -1, -1, -2},
+    }
+    
+    for _, tt := range tests {
+        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
+            result := Add(tt.a, tt.b)
+            if result != tt.expected {
+                t.Errorf("got %d, want %d", result, tt.expected)
+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Benchmark
+```go
+func BenchmarkAdd(b *testing.B) {
+    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
+        Add(2, 3)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Go Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run
+go run main.go
+
+# Build
+go build
+go build -o myapp
+
+# Test
+go test
+go test -v
+go test -cover
+go test -race
+
+# Format
+go fmt ./...
+gofmt -s -w .
+
+# Lint
+go vet ./...
+
+# Modules
+go mod init module-name
+go mod tidy
+go get package@version
+go get -u ./...
+
+# Install
+go install
+
+# Documentation
+go doc package.Function
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Defer
+```go
+file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
+if err != nil {
+    return err
+}
+defer file.Close()
+```
+
+### Error Wrapping
+```go
+if err != nil {
+    return fmt.Errorf("failed to process: %w", err)
+}
+```
+
+### Context
+```go
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+```
+
+### Options Pattern
+```go
+type Option func(*Config)
+
+func WithPort(port int) Option {
+    return func(c *Config) {
+        c.port = port
+    }
+}
+
+func New(opts ...Option) *Server {
+    cfg := &Config{port: 8080}
+    for _, opt := range opts {
+        opt(cfg)
+    }
+    return &Server{cfg: cfg}
+}
+```
+
+## Format Verbs
+
+```go
+%v   // default format
+%+v  // struct with field names
+%#v  // Go-syntax representation
+%T   // type
+%t   // bool
+%d   // decimal integer
+%b   // binary
+%o   // octal
+%x   // hex (lowercase)
+%X   // hex (uppercase)
+%f   // float
+%e   // scientific notation
+%s   // string
+%q   // quoted string
+%p   // pointer address
+%w   // error wrapping
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. Use `gofmt` to format code
+2. Always check errors
+3. Use named return values
+4. Prefer composition over inheritance
+5. Use defer for cleanup
+6. Keep functions small and focused
+7. Write table-driven tests
+8. Document exported names
+9. Use interfaces for flexibility
+10. Follow Effective Go guidelines

+name: nostr
+description: This skill should be used when working with the Nostr protocol, implementing Nostr clients or relays, handling Nostr events, or discussing Nostr Implementation Possibilities (NIPs). Provides comprehensive knowledge of Nostr's decentralized protocol, event structure, cryptographic operations, and all standard NIPs.
+---
+
+# Nostr Protocol Expert
+
+## Purpose
+
+This skill provides expert-level assistance with the Nostr protocol, a simple, open protocol for global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social networks. The protocol is built on relays and cryptographic keys, enabling direct peer-to-peer communication without central servers.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Activate this skill when:
+- Implementing Nostr clients or relays
+- Working with Nostr events and messages
+- Handling cryptographic signatures and keys (schnorr signatures on secp256k1)
+- Implementing any Nostr Implementation Possibility (NIP)
+- Building social networking features on Nostr
+- Querying or filtering Nostr events
+- Discussing Nostr protocol architecture
+- Implementing WebSocket communication with relays
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### The Protocol Foundation
+
+Nostr operates on two main components:
+1. **Clients** - Applications users run to read/write data
+2. **Relays** - Servers that store and forward messages
+
+Key principles:
+- Everyone runs a client
+- Anyone can run a relay
+- Users identified by public keys
+- Messages signed with private keys
+- No central authority or trusted servers
+
+### Events Structure
+
+All data in Nostr is represented as events. An event is a JSON object with this structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "<32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded sha256 of the serialized event data>",
+  "pubkey": "<32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>",
+  "created_at": "<unix timestamp in seconds>",
+  "kind": "<integer identifying event type>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["<tag name>", "<tag value>", "<optional third param>", "..."]
+  ],
+  "content": "<arbitrary string>",
+  "sig": "<64-bytes lowercase hex of the schnorr signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data>"
+}
+```
+
+### Event Kinds
+
+Standard event kinds (from various NIPs):
+- `0` - Metadata (user profile)
+- `1` - Text note (short post)
+- `2` - Recommend relay
+- `3` - Contacts (following list)
+- `4` - Encrypted direct messages
+- `5` - Event deletion
+- `6` - Repost
+- `7` - Reaction (like, emoji reaction)
+- `40` - Channel creation
+- `41` - Channel metadata
+- `42` - Channel message
+- `43` - Channel hide message
+- `44` - Channel mute user
+- `1000-9999` - Regular events
+- `10000-19999` - Replaceable events
+- `20000-29999` - Ephemeral events
+- `30000-39999` - Parameterized replaceable events
+
+### Tags
+
+Common tag types:
+- `["e", "<event-id>", "<relay-url>", "<marker>"]` - Reference to an event
+- `["p", "<pubkey>", "<relay-url>"]` - Reference to a user
+- `["a", "<kind>:<pubkey>:<d-tag>", "<relay-url>"]` - Reference to a replaceable event
+- `["d", "<identifier>"]` - Identifier for parameterized replaceable events
+- `["r", "<url>"]` - Reference/link to a web resource
+- `["t", "<hashtag>"]` - Hashtag
+- `["g", "<geohash>"]` - Geolocation
+- `["nonce", "<number>", "<difficulty>"]` - Proof of work
+- `["subject", "<subject>"]` - Subject/title
+- `["client", "<client-name>"]` - Client application used
+
+## Key NIPs Reference

+
+## Client-Relay Communication
+
+### WebSocket Messages
+
+#### From Client to Relay
+
+**EVENT** - Publish an event:
+```json
+["EVENT", <event JSON>]
+```
+
+**REQ** - Request events (subscription):
+```json
+["REQ", <subscription_id>, <filters JSON>, <filters JSON>, ...]
+```
+
+**CLOSE** - Stop a subscription:
+```json
+["CLOSE", <subscription_id>]
+```
+
+**AUTH** - Respond to auth challenge:
+```json
+["AUTH", <signed event kind 22242>]
+```
+
+#### From Relay to Client
+
+**EVENT** - Send event to client:
+```json
+["EVENT", <subscription_id>, <event JSON>]
+```
+
+**OK** - Acceptance/rejection notice:
+```json
+["OK", <event_id>, <true|false>, <message>]
+```
+
+**EOSE** - End of stored events:
+```json
+["EOSE", <subscription_id>]
+```
+
+**CLOSED** - Subscription closed:
+```json
+["CLOSED", <subscription_id>, <message>]
+```
+
+**NOTICE** - Human-readable message:
+```json
+["NOTICE", <message>]
+```
+
+**AUTH** - Authentication challenge:
+```json
+["AUTH", <challenge>]
+```
+
+### Filter Objects
+
+Filters select events in REQ messages:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ids": ["<event-id>", ...],
+  "authors": ["<pubkey>", ...],
+  "kinds": [<kind number>, ...],
+  "#e": ["<event-id>", ...],
+  "#p": ["<pubkey>", ...],
+  "#a": ["<coordinate>", ...],
+  "#t": ["<hashtag>", ...],
+  "since": <unix timestamp>,
+  "until": <unix timestamp>,
+  "limit": <max number of events>
+}
+```
+
+Filtering rules:
+- Arrays are ORed together
+- Different fields are ANDed
+- Tag filters: `#<single-letter>` matches tag values
+- Prefix matching allowed for `ids` and `authors`
+
+## Cryptographic Operations
+
+### Key Management
+
+- **Private Key**: 32-byte random value, keep secure
+- **Public Key**: Derived via secp256k1
+- **Encoding**: Hex (lowercase) or bech32
+
+### Event Signing (schnorr)
+
+Steps to create a signed event:
+1. Set all fields except `id` and `sig`
+2. Serialize event data to JSON (specific order)
+3. Calculate SHA256 hash → `id`
+4. Sign `id` with schnorr signature → `sig`
+
+Serialization format for ID calculation:
+```json
+[
+  0,
+  <pubkey>,
+  <created_at>,
+  <kind>,
+  <tags>,
+  <content>
+]
+```
+
+### Event Verification
+
+Steps to verify an event:
+1. Verify ID matches SHA256 of serialized data
+2. Verify signature is valid schnorr signature
+3. Check created_at is reasonable (not far future)
+4. Validate event structure and required fields
+
+## Implementation Best Practices
+
+### For Clients
+
+1. **Connect to Multiple Relays**: Don't rely on single relay
+2. **Cache Events**: Reduce redundant relay queries
+3. **Verify Signatures**: Always verify event signatures
+4. **Handle Replaceable Events**: Keep only latest version
+5. **Respect User Privacy**: Careful with sensitive data
+6. **Implement NIP-65**: Use user's preferred relays
+7. **Proper Error Handling**: Handle relay disconnections
+8. **Pagination**: Use `limit`, `since`, `until` for queries
+
+### For Relays
+
+1. **Validate Events**: Check signatures, IDs, structure
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Prevent spam and abuse
+3. **Storage Management**: Ephemeral events, retention policies
+4. **Implement NIP-11**: Provide relay information
+5. **WebSocket Optimization**: Handle many connections
+6. **Filter Optimization**: Efficient event querying
+7. **Consider NIP-42**: Authentication for write access
+8. **Performance**: Index by pubkey, kind, tags, timestamp
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **Never Expose Private Keys**: Handle nsec carefully
+2. **Validate All Input**: Prevent injection attacks
+3. **Use NIP-44**: For encrypted messages (not NIP-04)
+4. **Check Event Timestamps**: Reject far-future events
+5. **Implement Proof of Work**: NIP-13 for spam prevention
+6. **Sanitize Content**: XSS prevention in displayed content
+7. **Relay Trust**: Don't trust single relay for critical data
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Publishing a Note
+
+```javascript
+const event = {
+  pubkey: userPublicKey,
+  created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
+  kind: 1,
+  tags: [],
+  content: "Hello Nostr!",
+}
+// Calculate ID and sign
+event.id = calculateId(event)
+event.sig = signEvent(event, privateKey)
+// Publish to relay
+ws.send(JSON.stringify(["EVENT", event]))
+```
+
+### Subscribing to Notes
+
+```javascript
+const filter = {
+  kinds: [1],
+  authors: [followedPubkey1, followedPubkey2],
+  limit: 50
+}
+ws.send(JSON.stringify(["REQ", "my-sub", filter]))
+```
+
+### Replying to a Note
+
+```javascript
+const reply = {
+  kind: 1,
+  tags: [
+    ["e", originalEventId, relayUrl, "root"],
+    ["p", originalAuthorPubkey]
+  ],
+  content: "Great post!",
+  // ... other fields
+}
+```
+
+### Reacting to a Note
+
+```javascript
+const reaction = {
+  kind: 7,
+  tags: [
+    ["e", eventId],
+    ["p", eventAuthorPubkey]
+  ],
+  content: "+", // or emoji
+  // ... other fields
+}
+```

+# Common Nostr Implementation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
+
+This document highlights frequent errors made when implementing Nostr clients and relays, along with solutions.
+
+## Event Creation and Signing
+
+### Mistake 1: Incorrect Event ID Calculation
+
+**Problem**: Wrong serialization order or missing fields when calculating SHA256.
+
+**Correct Serialization**:
+```json
+[
+  0,                    // Must be integer 0
+  <pubkey>,            // Lowercase hex string
+  <created_at>,        // Unix timestamp integer
+  <kind>,              // Integer
+  <tags>,              // Array of arrays
+  <content>            // String
+]
+```
+
+**Common errors**:
+- Using string "0" instead of integer 0
+- Including `id` or `sig` fields in serialization
+- Wrong field order
+- Not using compact JSON (no spaces)
+- Using uppercase hex
+
+**Fix**: Serialize exactly as shown, compact JSON, SHA256 the UTF-8 bytes.
+
+### Mistake 2: Wrong Signature Algorithm
+
+**Problem**: Using ECDSA instead of Schnorr signatures.
+
+**Correct**: 
+- Use Schnorr signatures (BIP-340)
+- Curve: secp256k1
+- Sign the 32-byte event ID
+
+**Libraries**:
+- JavaScript: noble-secp256k1
+- Rust: secp256k1
+- Go: btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2/schnorr
+- Python: secp256k1-py
+
+### Mistake 3: Invalid created_at Timestamps
+
+**Problem**: Events with far-future timestamps or very old timestamps.
+
+**Best practices**:
+- Use current Unix time: `Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)`
+- Relays often reject if `created_at > now + 15 minutes`
+- Don't backdate events to manipulate ordering
+
+**Fix**: Always use current time when creating events.
+
+### Mistake 4: Malformed Tags
+
+**Problem**: Tags that aren't arrays or have wrong structure.
+
+**Correct format**:
+```json
+{
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "event-id", "relay-url", "marker"],
+    ["p", "pubkey", "relay-url"],
+    ["t", "hashtag"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Common errors**:
+- Using objects instead of arrays: `{"e": "..."}` ❌
+- Missing inner arrays: `["e", "event-id"]` when nested in tags is wrong
+- Wrong nesting depth
+- Non-string values (except for specific NIPs)
+
+### Mistake 5: Not Handling Replaceable Events
+
+**Problem**: Showing multiple versions of replaceable events.
+
+**Event types**:
+- **Replaceable (10000-19999)**: Same author + kind → replace
+- **Parameterized Replaceable (30000-39999)**: Same author + kind + d-tag → replace
+
+**Fix**: 
+```javascript
+// For replaceable events
+const key = `${event.pubkey}:${event.kind}`
+if (latestEvents[key]?.created_at < event.created_at) {
+  latestEvents[key] = event
+}
+
+// For parameterized replaceable events
+const dTag = event.tags.find(t => t[0] === 'd')?.[1] || ''
+const key = `${event.pubkey}:${event.kind}:${dTag}`
+if (latestEvents[key]?.created_at < event.created_at) {
+  latestEvents[key] = event
+}
+```
+
+## WebSocket Communication
+
+### Mistake 6: Not Handling EOSE
+
+**Problem**: Loading indicators never finish or show wrong state.
+
+**Solution**:
+```javascript
+const receivedEvents = new Set()
+let eoseReceived = false
+
+ws.onmessage = (msg) => {
+  const [type, ...rest] = JSON.parse(msg.data)
+  
+  if (type === 'EVENT') {
+    const [subId, event] = rest
+    receivedEvents.add(event.id)
+    displayEvent(event)
+  }
+  
+  if (type === 'EOSE') {
+    eoseReceived = true
+    hideLoadingSpinner()
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Mistake 7: Not Closing Subscriptions
+
+**Problem**: Memory leaks and wasted bandwidth from unclosed subscriptions.
+
+**Fix**: Always send CLOSE when done:
+```javascript
+ws.send(JSON.stringify(['CLOSE', subId]))
+```
+
+**Best practices**:
+- Close when component unmounts
+- Close before opening new subscription with same ID
+- Use unique subscription IDs
+- Track active subscriptions
+
+### Mistake 8: Ignoring OK Messages
+
+**Problem**: Not knowing if events were accepted or rejected.
+
+**Solution**:
+```javascript
+ws.onmessage = (msg) => {
+  const [type, eventId, accepted, message] = JSON.parse(msg.data)
+  
+  if (type === 'OK') {
+    if (!accepted) {
+      console.error(`Event ${eventId} rejected: ${message}`)
+      handleRejection(eventId, message)
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Common rejection reasons**:
+- `pow:` - Insufficient proof of work
+- `blocked:` - Pubkey or content blocked
+- `rate-limited:` - Too many requests
+- `invalid:` - Failed validation
+
+### Mistake 9: Sending Events Before WebSocket Ready
+
+**Problem**: Events lost because WebSocket not connected.
+
+**Fix**:
+```javascript
+const sendWhenReady = (ws, message) => {
+  if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
+    ws.send(message)
+  } else {
+    ws.addEventListener('open', () => ws.send(message), { once: true })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Mistake 10: Not Handling WebSocket Disconnections
+
+**Problem**: App breaks when relay goes offline.
+
+**Solution**: Implement reconnection with exponential backoff:
+```javascript
+let reconnectDelay = 1000
+const maxDelay = 30000
+
+const connect = () => {
+  const ws = new WebSocket(relayUrl)
+  
+  ws.onclose = () => {
+    setTimeout(() => {
+      reconnectDelay = Math.min(reconnectDelay * 2, maxDelay)
+      connect()
+    }, reconnectDelay)
+  }
+  
+  ws.onopen = () => {
+    reconnectDelay = 1000 // Reset on successful connection
+    resubscribe() // Re-establish subscriptions
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Filter Queries
+
+### Mistake 11: Overly Broad Filters
+
+**Problem**: Requesting too many events, overwhelming relay and client.
+
+**Bad**:
+```json
+{
+  "kinds": [1],
+  "limit": 10000
+}
+```
+
+**Good**:
+```json
+{
+  "kinds": [1],
+  "authors": ["<followed-users>"],
+  "limit": 50,
+  "since": 1234567890
+}
+```
+
+**Best practices**:
+- Always set reasonable `limit` (50-500)
+- Filter by `authors` when possible
+- Use `since`/`until` for time ranges
+- Be specific with `kinds`
+- Multiple smaller queries > one huge query
+
+### Mistake 12: Not Using Prefix Matching
+
+**Problem**: Full hex strings in filters unnecessarily.
+
+**Optimization**:
+```json
+{
+  "ids": ["abc12345"],  // 8 chars enough for uniqueness
+  "authors": ["def67890"]
+}
+```
+
+Relays support prefix matching for `ids` and `authors`.
+
+### Mistake 13: Duplicate Filter Fields
+
+**Problem**: Redundant filter conditions.
+
+**Bad**:
+```json
+{
+  "authors": ["pubkey1", "pubkey1"],
+  "kinds": [1, 1]
+}
+```
+
+**Good**:
+```json
+{
+  "authors": ["pubkey1"],
+  "kinds": [1]
+}
+```
+
+Deduplicate filter arrays.
+
+## Threading and References
+
+### Mistake 14: Incorrect Thread Structure
+
+**Problem**: Missing root/reply markers or wrong tag order.
+
+**Correct reply structure** (NIP-10):
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1,
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "<root-event-id>", "<relay>", "root"],
+    ["e", "<parent-event-id>", "<relay>", "reply"],
+    ["p", "<author1-pubkey>"],
+    ["p", "<author2-pubkey>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Key points**:
+- Root event should have "root" marker
+- Direct parent should have "reply" marker
+- Include `p` tags for all mentioned users
+- Relay hints are optional but helpful
+
+### Mistake 15: Missing p Tags in Replies
+
+**Problem**: Authors not notified of replies.
+
+**Fix**: Always add `p` tag for:
+- Original author
+- Authors mentioned in content
+- Authors in the thread chain
+
+```json
+{
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "event-id", "", "reply"],
+    ["p", "original-author"],
+    ["p", "mentioned-user1"],
+    ["p", "mentioned-user2"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Mistake 16: Not Using Markers
+
+**Problem**: Ambiguous thread structure.
+
+**Solution**: Always use markers in `e` tags:
+- `root` - Root of thread
+- `reply` - Direct parent
+- `mention` - Referenced but not replied to
+
+Without markers, clients must guess thread structure.
+
+## Relay Management
+
+### Mistake 17: Relying on Single Relay
+
+**Problem**: Single point of failure, censorship vulnerability.
+
+**Solution**: Connect to multiple relays (5-15 common):
+```javascript
+const relays = [
+  'wss://relay1.com',
+  'wss://relay2.com',
+  'wss://relay3.com'
+]
+
+const connections = relays.map(url => connect(url))
+```
+
+**Best practices**:
+- Publish to 3-5 write relays
+- Read from 5-10 read relays
+- Use NIP-65 for user's preferred relays
+- Fall back to NIP-05 relays
+- Implement relay rotation on failure
+
+### Mistake 18: Not Implementing NIP-65
+
+**Problem**: Querying wrong relays, missing user's events.
+
+**Correct flow**:
+1. Fetch user's kind `10002` event (relay list)
+2. Connect to their read relays to fetch their content
+3. Connect to their write relays to send them messages
+
+```javascript
+async function getUserRelays(pubkey) {
+  // Fetch kind 10002
+  const relayList = await fetchEvent({
+    kinds: [10002],
+    authors: [pubkey]
+  })
+  
+  const readRelays = []
+  const writeRelays = []
+  
+  relayList.tags.forEach(([tag, url, mode]) => {
+    if (tag === 'r') {
+      if (!mode || mode === 'read') readRelays.push(url)
+      if (!mode || mode === 'write') writeRelays.push(url)
+    }
+  })
+  
+  return { readRelays, writeRelays }
+}
+```
+
+### Mistake 19: Not Respecting Relay Limitations
+
+**Problem**: Violating relay policies, getting rate limited or banned.
+
+**Solution**: Fetch and respect NIP-11 relay info:
+```javascript
+const getRelayInfo = async (relayUrl) => {
+  const url = relayUrl.replace('wss://', 'https://').replace('ws://', 'http://')
+  const response = await fetch(url, {
+    headers: { 'Accept': 'application/nostr+json' }
+  })
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+// Respect limitations
+const info = await getRelayInfo(relayUrl)
+const maxLimit = info.limitation?.max_limit || 500
+const maxFilters = info.limitation?.max_filters || 10
+```
+
+## Security
+
+### Mistake 20: Exposing Private Keys
+
+**Problem**: Including nsec in client code, logs, or network requests.
+
+**Never**:
+- Store nsec in localStorage without encryption
+- Log private keys
+- Send nsec over network
+- Display nsec to user unless explicitly requested
+- Hard-code private keys
+
+**Best practices**:
+- Use NIP-07 (browser extension) when possible
+- Encrypt keys at rest
+- Use NIP-46 (remote signing) for web apps
+- Warn users when showing nsec
+
+### Mistake 21: Not Verifying Signatures
+
+**Problem**: Accepting invalid events, vulnerability to attacks.
+
+**Always verify**:
+```javascript
+const verifyEvent = (event) => {
+  // 1. Verify ID
+  const calculatedId = sha256(serializeEvent(event))
+  if (calculatedId !== event.id) return false
+  
+  // 2. Verify signature
+  const signatureValid = schnorr.verify(
+    event.sig,
+    event.id,
+    event.pubkey
+  )
+  if (!signatureValid) return false
+  
+  // 3. Check timestamp
+  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
+  if (event.created_at > now + 900) return false // 15 min future
+  
+  return true
+}
+```
+
+**Verify before**:
+- Displaying to user
+- Storing in database
+- Using event data for logic
+
+### Mistake 22: Using NIP-04 Encryption
+
+**Problem**: Weak encryption, vulnerable to attacks.
+
+**Solution**: Use NIP-44 instead:
+- Modern authenticated encryption
+- ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD
+- Proper key derivation
+- Version byte for upgradability
+
+**Migration**: Update to NIP-44 for all new encrypted messages.
+
+### Mistake 23: Not Sanitizing Content
+
+**Problem**: XSS vulnerabilities in displayed content.
+
+**Solution**: Sanitize before rendering:
+```javascript
+import DOMPurify from 'dompurify'
+
+const safeContent = DOMPurify.sanitize(event.content, {
+  ALLOWED_TAGS: ['b', 'i', 'u', 'a', 'code', 'pre'],
+  ALLOWED_ATTR: ['href', 'target', 'rel']
+})
+```
+
+**Especially critical for**:
+- Markdown rendering
+- Link parsing
+- Image URLs
+- User-provided HTML
+
+## User Experience
+
+### Mistake 24: Not Caching Events
+
+**Problem**: Re-fetching same events repeatedly, poor performance.
+
+**Solution**: Implement event cache:
+```javascript
+const eventCache = new Map()
+
+const cacheEvent = (event) => {
+  eventCache.set(event.id, event)
+}
+
+const getCachedEvent = (eventId) => {
+  return eventCache.get(eventId)
+}
+```
+
+**Cache strategies**:
+- LRU eviction for memory management
+- IndexedDB for persistence
+- Invalidate replaceable events on update
+- Cache metadata (kind 0) aggressively
+
+### Mistake 25: Not Implementing Optimistic UI
+
+**Problem**: Slow feeling app, waiting for relay confirmation.
+
+**Solution**: Show user's events immediately:
+```javascript
+const publishEvent = async (event) => {
+  // Immediately show to user
+  displayEvent(event, { pending: true })
+  
+  // Publish to relays
+  const results = await Promise.all(
+    relays.map(relay => relay.publish(event))
+  )
+  
+  // Update status based on results
+  const success = results.some(r => r.accepted)
+  displayEvent(event, { pending: false, success })
+}
+```
+
+### Mistake 26: Poor Loading States
+
+**Problem**: User doesn't know if app is working.
+
+**Solution**: Clear loading indicators:
+- Show spinner until EOSE
+- Display "Loading..." placeholder
+- Show how many relays responded
+- Indicate connection status per relay
+
+### Mistake 27: Not Handling Large Threads
+
+**Problem**: Loading entire thread at once, performance issues.
+
+**Solution**: Implement pagination:
+```javascript
+const loadThread = async (eventId, cursor = null) => {
+  const filter = {
+    "#e": [eventId],
+    kinds: [1],
+    limit: 20,
+    until: cursor
+  }
+  
+  const replies = await fetchEvents(filter)
+  return { replies, nextCursor: replies[replies.length - 1]?.created_at }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Mistake 28: Not Testing with Multiple Relays
+
+**Problem**: App works with one relay but fails with others.
+
+**Solution**: Test with:
+- Fast relays
+- Slow relays
+- Unreliable relays
+- Paid relays (auth required)
+- Relays with different NIP support
+
+### Mistake 29: Not Testing Edge Cases
+
+**Critical tests**:
+- Empty filter results
+- WebSocket disconnections
+- Malformed events
+- Very long content
+- Invalid signatures
+- Relay errors
+- Rate limiting
+- Concurrent operations
+
+### Mistake 30: Not Monitoring Performance
+
+**Metrics to track**:
+- Event verification time
+- WebSocket latency per relay
+- Events per second processed
+- Memory usage (event cache)
+- Subscription count
+- Failed publishes

+## Event Kind Ranges Summary
+
+| Range | Type | Behavior | Examples |
+|-------|------|----------|----------|
+| 0-999 | Core | Varies | Metadata, notes, reactions |
+| 1000-9999 | Regular | Immutable, all kept | File metadata |

+
+## Event Lifecycle
+
+### Regular Events (1000-9999)
+```
+Event A published → Stored
+Event A' published → Both A and A' stored
+```
+
+### Replaceable Events (10000-19999)
+```
+Event A published → Stored
+Event A' published (same kind, same pubkey) → A deleted, A' stored
+```
+
+### Parameterized Replaceable Events (30000-39999)
+```
+Event A (d="foo") published → Stored
+Event B (d="bar") published → Both stored (different d)
+Event A' (d="foo") published → A deleted, A' stored (same d)
+```
+
+### Ephemeral Events (20000-29999)
+```
+Event A published → Forwarded to subscribers, NOT stored
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Metadata (Kind 0)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 0,
+  "content": "{\"name\":\"Alice\",\"about\":\"Nostr user\",\"picture\":\"https://...\",\"nip05\":\"alice@example.com\"}",
+  "tags": []
+}
+```
+
+### Text Note (Kind 1)

+  "kind": 1,
+  "content": "Hello Nostr!",
+  "tags": [
+    ["t", "nostr"],
+    ["t", "hello"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Reply (Kind 1 with thread tags)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1,
+  "content": "Great post!",
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "<root-event-id>", "<relay>", "root"],
+    ["e", "<parent-event-id>", "<relay>", "reply"],
+    ["p", "<author-pubkey>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Reaction (Kind 7)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 7,
+  "content": "+",
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "<reacted-event-id>"],
+    ["p", "<event-author-pubkey>"],
+    ["k", "1"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Long-form Article (Kind 30023)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30023,
+  "content": "# My Article\n\nContent here...",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "my-article-slug"],
+    ["title", "My Article"],
+    ["summary", "This is about..."],
+    ["published_at", "1234567890"],
+    ["t", "nostr"],
+    ["image", "https://..."]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Relay List (Kind 10002)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 10002,
+  "content": "",
+  "tags": [
+    ["r", "wss://relay1.com"],
+    ["r", "wss://relay2.com", "write"],
+    ["r", "wss://relay3.com", "read"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Zap Request (Kind 9734)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 9734,
+  "content": "",
+  "tags": [
+    ["relays", "wss://relay1.com", "wss://relay2.com"],
+    ["amount", "21000"],
+    ["lnurl", "lnurl..."],
+    ["p", "<recipient-pubkey>"],
+    ["e", "<event-id>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### File Metadata (Kind 1063)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1063,
+  "content": "My photo from the trip",
+  "tags": [
+    ["url", "https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg"],
+    ["m", "image/jpeg"],
+    ["x", "abc123..."],
+    ["size", "524288"],
+    ["dim", "1920x1080"],
+    ["blurhash", "LEHV6n..."]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Report (Kind 1984)
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1984,
+  "content": "This is spam",
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "<reported-event-id>", "<relay>"],
+    ["p", "<reported-pubkey>"],
+    ["report", "spam"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Future Event Kinds
+
+The event kind space is open-ended. New NIPs may define new event kinds.
+
+**Guidelines for new event kinds**:
+1. Use appropriate range for desired behavior
+2. Document in a NIP
+3. Implement in at least 2 clients and 1 relay
+4. Ensure backwards compatibility
+5. Don't overlap with existing kinds
+
+**Custom event kinds**:
+- Applications can use undefined event kinds
+- Document behavior for interoperability
+- Consider proposing as a NIP if useful broadly
+
+## Event Kind Selection Guide
+
+**Choose based on lifecycle needs**:
+
+- **Regular (1000-9999)**: When you need history
+  - User posts, comments, reactions
+  - Payment records, receipts
+  - Immutable records
+
+- **Replaceable (10000-19999)**: When you need latest state
+  - User settings, preferences
+  - Mute/block lists
+  - Current status
+
+- **Ephemeral (20000-29999)**: When you need real-time only
+  - Typing indicators
+  - Online presence
+  - Temporary notifications
+
+- **Parameterized Replaceable (30000-39999)**: When you need multiple latest states
+  - Articles (one per slug)
+  - Product listings (one per product ID)
+  - Configuration sets (one per setting name)

+# Skill Creator
+
+This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.
+
+## About Skills
+
+Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing
+specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific
+domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent
+equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
+
+### What Skills Provide
+
+1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
+2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
+3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
+4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
+
+### Anatomy of a Skill
+
+Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:
+
+```
+skill-name/
+├── SKILL.md (required)
+│   ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)
+│   │   ├── name: (required)
+│   │   └── description: (required)
+│   └── Markdown instructions (required)
+└── Bundled Resources (optional)
+    ├── scripts/          - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)
+    ├── references/       - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed
+    └── assets/           - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)
+```
+
+#### SKILL.md (required)
+
+**Metadata Quality:** The `name` and `description` in YAML frontmatter determine when Claude will use the skill. Be specific about what the skill does and when to use it. Use the third-person (e.g. "This skill should be used when..." instead of "Use this skill when...").
+
+#### Bundled Resources (optional)
+
+##### Scripts (`scripts/`)
+
+Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.
+
+- **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed
+- **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.py` for PDF rotation tasks
+- **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context
+- **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by Claude for patching or environment-specific adjustments
+
+##### References (`references/`)
+
+Documentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform Claude's process and thinking.
+
+- **When to include**: For documentation that Claude should reference while working
+- **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications
+- **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides
+- **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when Claude determines it's needed
+- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md
+- **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both. Prefer references files for detailed information unless it's truly core to the skill—this keeps SKILL.md lean while making information discoverable without hogging the context window. Keep only essential procedural instructions and workflow guidance in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples to references files.
+
+##### Assets (`assets/`)
+
+Files not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output Claude produces.
+
+- **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output
+- **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates, `assets/frontend-template/` for HTML/React boilerplate, `assets/font.ttf` for typography
+- **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents that get copied or modified
+- **Benefits**: Separates output resources from documentation, enables Claude to use files without loading them into context
+
+### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle
+
+Skills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:
+
+1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)
+2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)
+3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude (Unlimited*)
+
+*Unlimited because scripts can be executed without reading into context window.
+
+## Skill Creation Process
+
+To create a skill, follow the "Skill Creation Process" in order, skipping steps only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.
+
+### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples
+
+Skip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.
+
+To create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.
+
+For example, when building an image-editor skill, relevant questions include:
+
+- "What functionality should the image-editor skill support? Editing, rotating, anything else?"
+- "Can you give some examples of how this skill would be used?"
+- "I can imagine users asking for things like 'Remove the red-eye from this image' or 'Rotate this image'. Are there other ways you imagine this skill being used?"
+- "What would a user say that should trigger this skill?"
+
+To avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.
+
+Conclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.
+
+### Step 2: Planning the Reusable Skill Contents
+
+To turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:
+
+1. Considering how to execute on the example from scratch
+2. Identifying what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful when executing these workflows repeatedly
+
+Example: When building a `pdf-editor` skill to handle queries like "Help me rotate this PDF," the analysis shows:
+
+1. Rotating a PDF requires re-writing the same code each time
+2. A `scripts/rotate_pdf.py` script would be helpful to store in the skill
+
+Example: When designing a `frontend-webapp-builder` skill for queries like "Build me a todo app" or "Build me a dashboard to track my steps," the analysis shows:
+
+1. Writing a frontend webapp requires the same boilerplate HTML/React each time
+2. An `assets/hello-world/` template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skill
+
+Example: When building a `big-query` skill to handle queries like "How many users have logged in today?" the analysis shows:
+
+1. Querying BigQuery requires re-discovering the table schemas and relationships each time
+2. A `references/schema.md` file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skill
+
+To establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.
+
+### Step 3: Initializing the Skill
+
+At this point, it is time to actually create the skill.
+
+Skip this step only if the skill being developed already exists, and iteration or packaging is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.
+
+When creating a new skill from scratch, always run the `init_skill.py` script. The script conveniently generates a new template skill directory that automatically includes everything a skill requires, making the skill creation process much more efficient and reliable.
+
+Usage:
+
+```bash
+scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory>
+```
+
+The script:
+
+- Creates the skill directory at the specified path
+- Generates a SKILL.md template with proper frontmatter and TODO placeholders
+- Creates example resource directories: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/`
+- Adds example files in each directory that can be customized or deleted
+
+After initialization, customize or remove the generated SKILL.md and example files as needed.
+
+### Step 4: Edit the Skill
+
+When editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another instance of Claude to use. Focus on including information that would be beneficial and non-obvious to Claude. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another Claude instance execute these tasks more effectively.
+
+#### Start with Reusable Skill Contents
+
+To begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a `brand-guidelines` skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in `assets/`, or documentation to store in `references/`.
+
+Also, delete any example files and directories not needed for the skill. The initialization script creates example files in `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` to demonstrate structure, but most skills won't need all of them.
+
+#### Update SKILL.md
+
+**Writing Style:** Write the entire skill using **imperative/infinitive form** (verb-first instructions), not second person. Use objective, instructional language (e.g., "To accomplish X, do Y" rather than "You should do X" or "If you need to do X"). This maintains consistency and clarity for AI consumption.
+
+To complete SKILL.md, answer the following questions:
+
+1. What is the purpose of the skill, in a few sentences?
+2. When should the skill be used?
+3. In practice, how should Claude use the skill? All reusable skill contents developed above should be referenced so that Claude knows how to use them.
+
+### Step 5: Packaging a Skill
+
+Once the skill is ready, it should be packaged into a distributable zip file that gets shared with the user. The packaging process automatically validates the skill first to ensure it meets all requirements:
+
+```bash
+scripts/package_skill.py <path/to/skill-folder>
+```
+
+Optional output directory specification:
+
+```bash
+scripts/package_skill.py <path/to/skill-folder> ./dist
+```
+
+The packaging script will:
+
+1. **Validate** the skill automatically, checking:
+   - YAML frontmatter format and required fields
+   - Skill naming conventions and directory structure
+   - Description completeness and quality
+   - File organization and resource references
+
+2. **Package** the skill if validation passes, creating a zip file named after the skill (e.g., `my-skill.zip`) that includes all files and maintains the proper directory structure for distribution.
+
+If validation fails, the script will report the errors and exit without creating a package. Fix any validation errors and run the packaging command again.
+
+### Step 6: Iterate
+
+After testing the skill, users may request improvements. Often this happens right after using the skill, with fresh context of how the skill performed.
+
+**Iteration workflow:**
+1. Use the skill on real tasks
+2. Notice struggles or inefficiencies
+3. Identify how SKILL.md or bundled resources should be updated
+4. Implement changes and test again

+[TODO: Choose the structure that best fits this skill's purpose. Common patterns:
+
+**1. Workflow-Based** (best for sequential processes)
+- Works well when there are clear step-by-step procedures
+- Example: DOCX skill with "Workflow Decision Tree" → "Reading" → "Creating" → "Editing"
+- Structure: ## Overview → ## Workflow Decision Tree → ## Step 1 → ## Step 2...
+
+**2. Task-Based** (best for tool collections)
+- Works well when the skill offers different operations/capabilities
+- Example: PDF skill with "Quick Start" → "Merge PDFs" → "Split PDFs" → "Extract Text"
+- Structure: ## Overview → ## Quick Start → ## Task Category 1 → ## Task Category 2...
+
+**3. Reference/Guidelines** (best for standards or specifications)
+- Works well for brand guidelines, coding standards, or requirements
+- Example: Brand styling with "Brand Guidelines" → "Colors" → "Typography" → "Features"
+- Structure: ## Overview → ## Guidelines → ## Specifications → ## Usage...
+
+**4. Capabilities-Based** (best for integrated systems)
+- Works well when the skill provides multiple interrelated features
+- Example: Product Management with "Core Capabilities" → numbered capability list
+- Structure: ## Overview → ## Core Capabilities → ### 1. Feature → ### 2. Feature...
+
+Patterns can be mixed and matched as needed. Most skills combine patterns (e.g., start with task-based, add workflow for complex operations).

+
+**Note:** Scripts may be executed without loading into context, but can still be read by Claude for patching or environment adjustments.
+
+### references/
+Documentation and reference material intended to be loaded into context to inform Claude's process and thinking.
+
+**Examples from other skills:**
+- Product management: `communication.md`, `context_building.md` - detailed workflow guides
+- BigQuery: API reference documentation and query examples
+- Finance: Schema documentation, company policies
+
+**Appropriate for:** In-depth documentation, API references, database schemas, comprehensive guides, or any detailed information that Claude should reference while working.
+

+Files not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output Claude produces.
+
+**Examples from other skills:**
+- Brand styling: PowerPoint template files (.pptx), logo files
+- Frontend builder: HTML/React boilerplate project directories
+- Typography: Font files (.ttf, .woff2)
+
+**Appropriate for:** Templates, boilerplate code, document templates, images, icons, fonts, or any files meant to be copied or used in the final output.

+
+```bash
+# Test benchmark configuration parsing
+go test -v ./cmd/benchmark -run TestConfig
+
+# Test individual benchmark patterns
+go test -v ./cmd/benchmark -run TestPeakThroughput
+
+# Test result aggregation
+go test -v ./cmd/benchmark -run TestResults
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Building from Source
+
+```bash
+# Build the benchmark binary
+go build -o benchmark ./cmd/benchmark
+
+# Build with optimizations
+go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o benchmark ./cmd/benchmark
+
+# Cross-compile for different platforms
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o benchmark-linux-amd64 ./cmd/benchmark
+```
+
+### Adding New Benchmark Tests
+
+1. **Extend the Benchmark struct** in `main.go`
+2. **Add new test method** following existing patterns
+3. **Update main() function** to call new test
+4. **Update result aggregation** in `benchmark-runner.sh`
+
+### Modifying Relay Configurations
+
+Each relay's configuration can be customized:
+
+- **Resource limits**: Adjust memory/CPU limits in `docker-compose.yml`
+- **Database settings**: Modify configuration files in `configs/`
+- **Network settings**: Update port mappings and health checks
+
+### Debugging
+
+```bash
+# View logs for specific relay
+docker-compose logs next-orly
+
+# Run benchmark with debug output
+docker-compose up --build benchmark-runner
+
+# Check individual container health
+docker-compose ps
+```

+## Integration with Build Scripts
+
+The relay-tester is integrated with the project's testing scripts:
+
+```bash
+# Test relay with default configuration
+./scripts/relaytester-test.sh
+
+# Test relay with policy enabled
+ORLY_POLICY_ENABLED=true ./scripts/relaytester-test.sh
+
+# Test relay with ACL enabled
+ORLY_ACL_MODE=follows ./scripts/relaytester-test.sh
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Development Testing
+
+During development, run tests frequently:
+
+```bash
+# Quick test against local relay
+go run ./cmd/relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:3334
+
+# Test specific functionality
+go run ./cmd/relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:3334 -test "EOSE handling"
+```
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+For automated testing in CI/CD pipelines:
+
+```bash
+# JSON output for parsing
+relay-tester -url $RELAY_URL -json > test_results.json
+
+# Check exit code
+if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+  echo "All tests passed!"
+else
+  echo "Some tests failed"
+  cat test_results.json
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Performance Testing
+
+The relay-tester can be combined with performance testing:
+
+```bash
+# Start relay
+./orly &
+RELAY_PID=$!
+
+# Run compliance tests
+relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:3334
+
+# Run performance tests
+./scripts/runtests.sh
+
+# Cleanup
+kill $RELAY_PID
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Connection Refused**: Ensure relay is running and accessible
+2. **Timeout Errors**: Increase timeout with `-timeout` flag
+3. **Authentication Required**: Some relays require NIP-42 AUTH
+4. **WebSocket Errors**: Check firewall and network configuration
+
+### Debug Output
+
+Use verbose mode for detailed information:
+
+```bash
+relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:3334 -v
+```
+
+### Test Dependencies
+
+Tests are run in dependency order. If a foundational test fails, subsequent tests may also fail. Always fix basic event publishing before debugging complex filtering.
+
+## Development
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run relay-tester unit tests
+go test ./cmd/relay-tester
+
+# Run all tests including relay-tester
+go test ./...
+
+# Run with coverage
+go test -cover ./cmd/relay-tester
+```
+
+### Adding New Tests
+
+1. Add test case to the test suite
+2. Update test dependencies if needed
+3. Ensure proper error handling
+4. Update documentation

+Cluster Replication Protocol
+----------------------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+## Abstract
+
+This NIP defines an HTTP-based pull replication protocol for relay clusters. It enables relay operators to form distributed networks where relays actively poll each other to synchronize events, providing efficient traffic patterns and improved data availability. Cluster membership is managed by designated cluster administrators who publish membership lists that relays replicate and use to update their polling targets.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Current Nostr relay implementations operate independently, leading to fragmented event storage across the network. Users must manually configure multiple relays to ensure their events are widely available. This creates several problems:
+
+1. **Event Availability**: Important events may not be available on all relays a user wants to interact with
+2. **Manual Synchronization**: Users must manually publish events to multiple relays
+3. **Discovery Issues**: Clients have difficulty finding complete event histories
+4. **Resource Inefficiency**: Relays store duplicate events without coordination
+5. **Network Fragmentation**: Related events become scattered across disconnected relays
+
+This NIP addresses these issues by enabling relay operators to form clusters that actively replicate events using efficient HTTP polling mechanisms, creating more resilient and bandwidth-efficient event distribution networks.
+
+## Specification
+
+### Event Kinds
+
+This NIP defines the following new event kinds:
+
+| Kind | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `39108` | Cluster Membership List |
+
+### Cluster Membership List (Kind 39108)
+
+Cluster administrators publish this replaceable event to define the current set of cluster members. All cluster relays replicate this event and update their polling lists when it changes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 39108,
+  "content": "{\"name\":\"My Cluster\",\"description\":\"Community relay cluster\"}",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "membership"],
+    ["relay", "https://relay1.example.com/", "wss://relay1.example.com/"],
+    ["relay", "https://relay2.example.com/", "wss://relay2.example.com/"],
+    ["relay", "https://relay3.example.com/", "wss://relay3.example.com/"],
+    ["version", "1"]
+  ],
+  "pubkey": "<admin-pubkey-hex>",
+  "created_at": <unix-timestamp>,
+  "id": "<event-id>",
+  "sig": "<signature>"
+}
+```
+
+**Tags:**
+- `d`: Identifier for the membership list (always "membership")
+- `relay`: HTTP and WebSocket URLs of cluster member relays (comma-separated)
+- `version`: Protocol version number
+
+**Content:** JSON object containing cluster metadata (name, description)
+
+**Authorization:** Only events signed by cluster administrators are valid for membership updates. Cluster administrators are designated through static relay configuration and cannot be modified by membership events.
+
+### HTTP API Endpoints
+
+#### 1. Latest Serial Endpoint
+
+Returns the current highest event serial number in the relay's database.
+
+**Endpoint:** `GET /cluster/latest`
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "serial": 12345678,
+  "timestamp": 1640995200
+}
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `serial`: The highest event serial number in the database
+- `timestamp`: Unix timestamp when this serial was last updated
+
+#### 2. Event IDs by Serial Range Endpoint
+
+Returns event IDs for a range of serial numbers.
+
+**Endpoint:** `GET /cluster/events`
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `from`: Starting serial number (inclusive)
+- `to`: Ending serial number (inclusive)
+- `limit`: Maximum number of event IDs to return (default: 1000, max: 10000)
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "events": [
+    {
+      "serial": 12345670,
+      "id": "abc123...",
+      "timestamp": 1640995100
+    },
+    {
+      "serial": 12345671,
+      "id": "def456...",
+      "timestamp": 1640995110
+    }
+  ],
+  "has_more": false,
+  "next_from": null
+}
+```
+
+**Response Fields:**
+- `events`: Array of event objects with serial, id, and timestamp
+- `has_more`: Boolean indicating if there are more results
+- `next_from`: Serial number to use as `from` parameter for next request (if `has_more` is true)
+
+### Replication Protocol
+
+#### 1. Cluster Discovery
+
+1. Cluster administrators publish Kind 39108 events defining cluster membership
+2. Relays configured with cluster admin npubs subscribe to these events
+3. When membership updates are received, relays update their polling lists
+4. Polling begins immediately with 5-second intervals to all listed relays
+
+#### 2. Active Replication Process
+
+Each relay maintains a replication state for each cluster peer:
+
+1. **Poll Latest Serial**: Every 5 seconds, query `/cluster/latest` from each peer
+2. **Compare Serials**: If peer has higher serial than local replication state, fetch missing events
+3. **Fetch Event IDs**: Use `/cluster/events` to get event IDs in the serial range gap
+4. **Fetch Full Events**: Use standard WebSocket REQ messages to get full event data
+5. **Store Events**: Validate and store events in local database (relays MAY choose not to store every event they receive)
+6. **Update State**: Record the highest successfully replicated serial for each peer
+
+#### 3. Serial Number Management
+
+Each relay maintains an internal serial number that increments with each stored event:
+
+- **Serial Assignment**: Events are assigned serial numbers in the order they are stored
+- **Monotonic Increase**: Serial numbers only increase, never decrease
+- **Gap Handling**: Missing serials are handled gracefully
+- **Peer State Tracking**: Each relay tracks the last replicated serial from each peer
+- **Restart Recovery**: On restart, relays load persisted serial state and resume replication from the last processed serial
+
+#### 4. Conflict Resolution
+
+When fetching events that already exist locally:
+
+1. **Serial Consistency**: If serial numbers match, events should be identical
+2. **Timestamp Priority**: For conflicting events, newer timestamps take precedence
+3. **Signature Verification**: Invalid signatures always result in rejection
+4. **Author Authority**: Original author events override third-party copies
+5. **Event Kind Rules**: Follow NIP-01 replaceable event semantics where applicable

+     |                        |                          |
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Administrator Authorization**: Only cluster administrators can modify membership lists
+2. **Transport Security**: HTTP endpoints SHOULD use HTTPS for secure communication
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting on polling endpoints to prevent abuse
+4. **Event Validation**: All fetched events MUST be fully validated before storage
+5. **Access Control**: HTTP endpoints SHOULD implement proper access controls
+6. **Privacy**: Membership lists contain relay addresses but no sensitive user data
+7. **Audit Logging**: All replication operations SHOULD be logged for monitoring
+8. **Network Isolation**: Clusters SHOULD be isolated from public relay operations
+9. **Serial Consistency**: Serial numbers help detect tampering or data corruption
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Relay Operators
+
+1. Configure cluster administrator npubs to monitor membership updates
+2. Implement HTTP endpoints for `/cluster/latest` and `/cluster/events`
+3. Set up 5-second polling intervals to all cluster peers
+4. Implement peer state persistence to track last processed serials
+5. Monitor replication health and alert on failures
+6. Handle cluster membership changes gracefully (cleaning up removed peer state)
+7. Implement proper serial number management
+8. Document cluster configuration
+
+### Client Developers
+
+1. Clients MAY display cluster membership information for relay discovery
+2. Clients SHOULD prefer cluster relays for improved event availability
+3. Clients can use membership events to find additional relay options
+4. Clients SHOULD handle relay failures within clusters gracefully
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+This NIP is fully backwards compatible:
+
+- Relays not implementing this NIP continue to operate normally
+- The HTTP endpoints are optional additions to existing relay functionality
+- Standard WebSocket event fetching continues to work unchanged
+- Users can continue using relays without cluster participation
+- Existing event kinds and message types are unchanged
+
+## Reference Implementation
+
+A reference implementation SHOULD include:
+
+1. HTTP endpoint handlers for `/cluster/latest` and `/cluster/events`
+2. Cluster membership subscription and parsing logic
+3. Replication polling scheduler with 5-second intervals
+4. Serial number management and tracking
+5. Peer state persistence and recovery (last known serials stored in database)
+6. Peer state management and failure handling
+7. Configuration management for cluster settings
+

+# ORLY Policy System Usage Guide
+
+The ORLY relay implements a comprehensive policy system that provides fine-grained control over event storage and retrieval. This guide explains how to configure and use the policy system to implement custom relay behavior.
+
+## Overview
+
+The policy system allows relay operators to:
+
+- Control which events are stored and retrieved
+- Implement custom validation logic
+- Set size and age limits for events
+- Define access control based on pubkeys
+- Use scripts for complex policy rules
+- Filter events by content, kind, or other criteria
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Enable the Policy System
+
+Set the environment variable to enable policy checking:
+
+```bash
+export ORLY_POLICY_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+### 2. Create a Policy Configuration
+
+Create the policy file at `~/.config/ORLY/policy.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "default_policy": "allow",
+  "global": {
+    "max_age_of_event": 86400,
+    "max_age_event_in_future": 300,
+    "size_limit": 100000
+  },
+  "rules": {
+    "1": {
+      "description": "Text notes - basic validation",
+      "max_age_of_event": 3600,
+      "size_limit": 32000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Restart the Relay
+
+```bash
+# Restart your relay to load the policy
+sudo systemctl restart orly
+```
+
+## Configuration Structure
+
+### Top-Level Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "default_policy": "allow|deny",
+  "kind": {
+    "whitelist": ["1", "3", "4"],
+    "blacklist": []
+  },
+  "global": { ... },
+  "rules": { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### default_policy
+
+Determines the fallback behavior when no specific rules apply:
+
+- `"allow"`: Allow events unless explicitly denied (default)
+- `"deny"`: Deny events unless explicitly allowed
+
+### kind Filtering
+
+Controls which event kinds are processed:
+
+```json
+"kind": {
+  "whitelist": ["1", "3", "4", "9735"],
+  "blacklist": []
+}
+```
+
+- `whitelist`: Only these kinds are allowed (if present)
+- `blacklist`: These kinds are denied (if present)
+- Empty arrays allow all kinds
+
+### Global Rules
+
+Rules that apply to **all events** regardless of kind:
+
+```json
+"global": {
+  "description": "Site-wide security rules",
+  "write_allow": [],
+  "write_deny": [],
+  "read_allow": [],
+  "read_deny": [],
+  "size_limit": 100000,
+  "content_limit": 50000,
+  "max_age_of_event": 86400,
+  "max_age_event_in_future": 300,
+  "privileged": false
+}
+```
+
+### Kind-Specific Rules
+
+Rules that apply to specific event kinds:
+
+```json
+"rules": {
+  "1": {
+    "description": "Text notes",
+    "write_allow": [],
+    "write_deny": [],
+    "read_allow": [],
+    "read_deny": [],
+    "size_limit": 32000,
+    "content_limit": 10000,
+    "max_age_of_event": 3600,
+    "max_age_event_in_future": 60,
+    "privileged": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Policy Fields
+
+### Access Control
+
+#### write_allow / write_deny
+
+Control who can publish events:
+
+```json
+{
+  "write_allow": ["npub1allowed...", "npub1another..."],
+  "write_deny": ["npub1blocked..."]
+}
+```
+
+- `write_allow`: Only these pubkeys can write (empty = allow all)
+- `write_deny`: These pubkeys cannot write
+
+#### read_allow / read_deny
+
+Control who can read events:
+
+```json
+{
+  "read_allow": ["npub1trusted..."],
+  "read_deny": ["npub1suspicious..."]
+}
+```
+
+- `read_allow`: Only these pubkeys can read (empty = allow all)
+- `read_deny`: These pubkeys cannot read
+
+### Size Limits
+
+#### size_limit
+
+Maximum total event size in bytes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "size_limit": 32000
+}
+```
+
+Includes ID, pubkey, sig, tags, content, and metadata.
+
+#### content_limit
+
+Maximum content field size in bytes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content_limit": 10000
+}
+```
+
+Only applies to the `content` field.
+
+### Age Validation
+
+#### max_age_of_event
+
+Maximum age of events in seconds (prevents replay attacks):
+
+```json
+{
+  "max_age_of_event": 3600
+}
+```
+
+Events older than `current_time - max_age_of_event` are rejected.
+
+#### max_age_event_in_future
+
+Maximum time events can be in the future in seconds:
+
+```json
+{
+  "max_age_event_in_future": 300
+}
+```
+
+Events with `created_at > current_time + max_age_event_in_future` are rejected.
+
+### Advanced Options
+
+#### privileged
+
+Require events to be authored by authenticated users or contain authenticated users in p-tags:
+
+```json
+{
+  "privileged": true
+}
+```
+
+Useful for private content that should only be accessible to specific users.
+
+#### script
+
+Path to a custom script for complex validation logic:
+
+```json
+{
+  "script": "/path/to/custom-policy.sh"
+}
+```
+
+See the script section below for details.
+
+## Policy Scripts
+
+For complex validation logic, use custom scripts that receive events via stdin and return decisions via stdout.
+
+### Script Interface
+
+**Input**: JSON event objects, one per line:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "event_id",
+  "pubkey": "author_pubkey",
+  "kind": 1,
+  "content": "Hello, world!",
+  "tags": [["p", "recipient"]],
+  "created_at": 1640995200,
+  "sig": "signature"
+}
+```
+
+Additional fields provided:
+- `logged_in_pubkey`: Hex pubkey of authenticated user (if any)
+- `ip_address`: Client IP address
+
+**Output**: JSONL responses:
+
+```json
+{"id": "event_id", "action": "accept", "msg": ""}
+{"id": "event_id", "action": "reject", "msg": "Blocked content"}
+{"id": "event_id", "action": "shadowReject", "msg": ""}
+```
+
+### Actions
+
+- `accept`: Store/retrieve the event normally
+- `reject`: Reject with OK=false and message
+- `shadowReject`: Accept with OK=true but don't store (useful for spam filtering)
+
+### Example Scripts
+
+#### Bash Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+while read -r line; do
+    if [[ -n "$line" ]]; then
+        event_id=$(echo "$line" | jq -r '.id')
+
+        # Check for spam content
+        if echo "$line" | jq -r '.content' | grep -qi "spam"; then
+            echo "{\"id\":\"$event_id\",\"action\":\"reject\",\"msg\":\"Spam detected\"}"
+        else
+            echo "{\"id\":\"$event_id\",\"action\":\"accept\",\"msg\":\"\"}"
+        fi
+    fi
+done
+```
+
+#### Python Script
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import json
+import sys
+
+def process_event(event):
+    event_id = event.get('id', '')
+    content = event.get('content', '')
+    pubkey = event.get('pubkey', '')
+    logged_in = event.get('logged_in_pubkey', '')
+
+    # Block spam
+    if 'spam' in content.lower():
+        return {
+            'id': event_id,
+            'action': 'reject',
+            'msg': 'Content contains spam'
+        }
+
+    # Require authentication for certain content
+    if 'private' in content.lower() and not logged_in:
+        return {
+            'id': event_id,
+            'action': 'reject',
+            'msg': 'Authentication required'
+        }
+
+    return {
+        'id': event_id,
+        'action': 'accept',
+        'msg': ''
+    }
+
+for line in sys.stdin:
+    if line.strip():
+        try:
+            event = json.loads(line)
+            response = process_event(event)
+            print(json.dumps(response))
+            sys.stdout.flush()
+        except json.JSONDecodeError:
+            continue
+```
+
+### Script Configuration
+
+Place scripts in a secure location and reference them in policy:
+
+```json
+{
+  "rules": {
+    "1": {
+      "script": "/etc/orly/policy/text-note-policy.py",
+      "description": "Custom validation for text notes"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Ensure scripts are executable and have appropriate permissions.
+
+## Policy Evaluation Order
+
+Events are evaluated in this order:
+
+1. **Global Rules** - Applied first to all events
+2. **Kind Filtering** - Whitelist/blacklist check
+3. **Kind-specific Rules** - Rules for the event's kind
+4. **Script Rules** - Custom script logic (if configured)
+5. **Default Policy** - Fallback behavior
+
+The first rule that makes a decision (allow/deny) stops evaluation.
+
+## Event Processing Integration
+
+### Write Operations (EVENT)
+
+When `ORLY_POLICY_ENABLED=true`, each incoming EVENT is checked:
+
+```go
+// Pseudo-code for policy integration
+func handleEvent(event *Event, client *Client) {
+    decision := policy.CheckPolicy("write", event, client.Pubkey, client.IP)
+    if decision.Action == "reject" {
+        client.SendOK(event.ID, false, decision.Message)
+        return
+    }
+    if decision.Action == "shadowReject" {
+        client.SendOK(event.ID, true, "")
+        return
+    }
+    // Store event
+    storeEvent(event)
+    client.SendOK(event.ID, true, "")
+}
+```
+
+### Read Operations (REQ)
+
+Events returned in REQ responses are filtered:
+
+```go
+func handleReq(filter *Filter, client *Client) {
+    events := queryEvents(filter)
+    filteredEvents := []Event{}
+
+    for _, event := range events {
+        decision := policy.CheckPolicy("read", &event, client.Pubkey, client.IP)
+        if decision.Action != "reject" {
+            filteredEvents = append(filteredEvents, event)
+        }
+    }
+
+    sendEvents(client, filteredEvents)
+}
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### Basic Spam Filtering
+
+```json
+{
+  "global": {
+    "max_age_of_event": 86400,
+    "size_limit": 100000
+  },
+  "rules": {
+    "1": {
+      "script": "/etc/orly/scripts/spam-filter.sh",
+      "max_age_of_event": 3600,
+      "size_limit": 32000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Private Relay
+
+```json
+{
+  "default_policy": "deny",
+  "global": {
+    "write_allow": ["npub1trusted1...", "npub1trusted2..."],
+    "read_allow": ["npub1trusted1...", "npub1trusted2..."]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Content Moderation
+
+```json
+{
+  "rules": {
+    "1": {
+      "script": "/etc/orly/scripts/content-moderation.py",
+      "description": "AI-powered content moderation"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+```json
+{
+  "global": {
+    "script": "/etc/orly/scripts/rate-limiter.sh"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Follows-Based Access
+
+Combined with ACL system:
+
+```bash
+export ORLY_ACL_MODE=follows
+export ORLY_ADMINS=npub1admin1...,npub1admin2...
+export ORLY_POLICY_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Debugging
+
+### Log Messages
+
+Policy decisions are logged:
+
+```
+policy allowed event <id>
+policy rejected event <id>: reason
+policy filtered out event <id> for read access
+```
+
+### Script Health
+
+Script failures are logged:
+
+```
+policy rule for kind <N> is inactive (script not running), falling back to default policy (allow)
+policy rule for kind <N> failed (script processing error: timeout), falling back to default policy (allow)
+```
+
+### Testing Policies
+
+Use the policy test tools:
+
+```bash
+# Test policy with sample events
+./scripts/run-policy-test.sh
+
+# Test policy filter integration
+./scripts/run-policy-filter-test.sh
+```
+
+### Debugging Scripts
+
+Test scripts independently:
+
+```bash
+# Test script with sample event
+echo '{"id":"test","kind":1,"content":"test message"}' | ./policy-script.sh
+
+# Expected output:
+# {"id":"test","action":"accept","msg":""}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Script Performance
+
+- Scripts run synchronously and can block event processing
+- Keep script logic efficient (< 100ms per event)
+- Consider using `shadowReject` for non-blocking filtering
+- Scripts should handle malformed input gracefully
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+- Policy configuration is loaded once at startup
+- Scripts are kept running for performance
+- Large configurations may impact startup time
+
+### Scaling
+
+- For high-throughput relays, prefer built-in policy rules over scripts
+- Use script timeouts to prevent hanging
+- Monitor script performance and resource usage
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Script Security
+
+- Scripts run with relay process privileges
+- Validate all inputs in scripts
+- Use secure file permissions for policy files
+- Regularly audit custom scripts
+
+### Access Control
+
+- Test policy rules thoroughly before production use
+- Use `privileged: true` for sensitive content
+- Combine with authentication requirements
+- Log policy violations for monitoring
+
+### Data Validation
+
+- Age validation prevents replay attacks
+- Size limits prevent DoS attacks
+- Content validation prevents malicious payloads
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Policy Not Loading
+
+Check file permissions and path:
+
+```bash
+ls -la ~/.config/ORLY/policy.json
+cat ~/.config/ORLY/policy.json
+```
+
+### Scripts Not Working
+
+Verify script is executable and working:
+
+```bash
+ls -la /path/to/script.sh
+./path/to/script.sh < /dev/null
+```
+
+### Unexpected Behavior
+
+Enable debug logging:
+
+```bash
+export ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+```
+
+Check logs for policy decisions and errors.
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Script timeouts**: Increase script timeouts or optimize script performance
+2. **Memory issues**: Reduce script memory usage or use built-in rules
+3. **Permission errors**: Fix file permissions on policy files and scripts
+4. **Configuration errors**: Validate JSON syntax and field names
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Multiple Policies
+
+Use different policies for different relay instances:
+
+```bash
+# Production relay
+export ORLY_APP_NAME=production
+# Policy at ~/.config/production/policy.json
+
+# Staging relay
+export ORLY_APP_NAME=staging
+# Policy at ~/.config/staging/policy.json
+```
+
+### Dynamic Policies
+
+Policies can be updated without restart by modifying the JSON file. Changes take effect immediately for new events.
+
+### Integration with External Systems
+
+Scripts can integrate with external services:
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+def check_external_service(content):
+    response = requests.post('http://moderation-service:8080/check',
+                           json={'content': content}, timeout=5)
+    return response.json().get('approved', False)
+```
+
+## Examples Repository
+
+See the `docs/` directory for complete examples:
+
+- `example-policy.json`: Complete policy configuration
+- `example-policy.sh`: Sample policy script
+- Various test scripts in `scripts/`
+
+## Support
+
+For issues with policy configuration:
+
+1. Check the logs for error messages
+2. Validate your JSON configuration
+3. Test scripts independently
+4. Review the examples in `docs/`
+5. Check file permissions and paths
+
+## Migration from Other Systems
+
+### From Simple Filtering
+
+Replace simple filters with policy rules:
+
+```json
+// Before: Simple size limit
+// After: Policy-based size limit
+{
+  "global": {
+    "size_limit": 50000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### From Custom Code
+
+Migrate custom validation logic to policy scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "rules": {
+    "1": {
+      "script": "/etc/orly/scripts/custom-validation.py"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The policy system provides a flexible, maintainable way to implement complex relay behavior while maintaining performance and security.

+This guide explains how to use ORLY's comprehensive testing infrastructure for protocol validation, especially when developing features that require multiple relays to test the Nostr protocol correctly.
+
+## Overview
+
+ORLY provides multiple testing tools and scripts designed for different testing scenarios:
+
+- **relay-tester**: Protocol compliance testing against NIP specifications
+- **Benchmark suite**: Performance testing across multiple relay implementations
+- **Policy testing**: Custom policy validation
+- **Integration scripts**: Multi-relay testing scenarios
+
+## Testing Tools Overview
+
+### relay-tester
+
+The primary tool for testing Nostr protocol compliance:
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:3334
+
+# Test with different configurations
+relay-tester -url wss://relay.example.com -v -json
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Tests all major NIP-01, NIP-09, NIP-42 features
+- Validates event publishing, querying, and subscription handling
+- Checks JSON compliance and signature validation
+- Provides both human-readable and JSON output
+
+### Benchmark Suite
+
+Performance testing across multiple relay implementations:
+
+```bash
+# Setup external relays
+cd cmd/benchmark
+./setup-external-relays.sh
+
+# Run benchmark suite
+docker-compose up --build
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Compares ORLY against other relay implementations
+- Tests throughput, latency, and reliability
+- Provides detailed performance metrics
+- Generates comparison reports
+
+### Policy Testing
+
+Custom policy validation tools:
+
+```bash
+# Test policy with sample events
+./scripts/run-policy-test.sh
+
+# Test policy filter integration
+./scripts/run-policy-filter-test.sh
+```
+
+## Multi-Relay Testing Scenarios
+
+### Why Multiple Relays?
+
+Many Nostr protocol features require testing with multiple relays:
+
+- **Event replication** between relays
+- **Cross-relay subscriptions** and queries
+- **Relay discovery** and connection management
+- **Protocol interoperability** between different implementations
+- **Distributed features** like directory consensus
+
+### Testing Infrastructure
+
+ORLY provides several ways to run multiple relays for testing:
+
+#### 1. Local Multi-Relay Setup
+
+Run multiple instances on different ports:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Relay 1 on port 3334
+ORLY_PORT=3334 ./orly &
+
+# Terminal 2: Relay 2 on port 3335
+ORLY_PORT=3335 ./orly &
+
+# Terminal 3: Relay 3 on port 3336
+ORLY_PORT=3336 ./orly &
+```
+
+#### 2. Docker-based Multi-Relay
+
+Use Docker for isolated relay instances:
+
+```bash
+# Run multiple relays with Docker
+docker run -d -p 3334:3334 -e ORLY_PORT=3334 orly:latest
+docker run -d -p 3335:3334 -e ORLY_PORT=3334 orly:latest
+docker run -d -p 3336:3334 -e ORLY_PORT=3334 orly:latest
+```
+
+#### 3. Benchmark Suite Multi-Relay
+
+The benchmark suite automatically sets up multiple relays:
+
+```bash
+cd cmd/benchmark
+./setup-external-relays.sh
+docker-compose up next-orly khatru-sqlite strfry
+```
+
+## Developing Features Requiring Multiple Relays
+
+### 1. Event Replication Testing
+
+Test how events propagate between relays:
+
+```go
+// Example test for event replication
+func TestEventReplication(t *testing.T) {
+    // Start two relays
+    relay1 := startTestRelay(t, 3334)
+    defer relay1.Stop()
+
+    relay2 := startTestRelay(t, 3335)
+    defer relay2.Stop()
+
+    // Connect clients to both relays
+    client1 := connectToRelay(t, "ws://127.0.0.1:3334")
+    client2 := connectToRelay(t, "ws://127.0.0.1:3335")
+
+    // Publish event to relay1
+    event := createTestEvent(t)
+    ok := client1.Publish(event)
+    assert.True(t, ok)
+
+    // Wait for replication/propagation
+    time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+
+    // Query relay2 for the event
+    events := client2.Query(filterForEvent(event.ID))
+    assert.Len(t, events, 1)
+    assert.Equal(t, event.ID, events[0].ID)
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Cross-Relay Subscriptions
+
+Test subscriptions that span multiple relays:
+
+```go
+func TestCrossRelaySubscriptions(t *testing.T) {
+    // Setup multiple relays
+    relays := setupMultipleRelays(t, 3)
+    defer stopRelays(t, relays)
+
+    clients := connectToRelays(t, relays)
+
+    // Subscribe to same filter on all relays
+    filter := Filter{Kinds: []int{1}, Limit: 10}
+
+    for _, client := range clients {
+        client.Subscribe(filter)
+    }
+
+    // Publish events to different relays
+    for i, client := range clients {
+        event := createTestEvent(t)
+        event.Content = fmt.Sprintf("Event from relay %d", i)
+        client.Publish(event)
+    }
+
+    // Verify events appear on all relays (if replication is enabled)
+    time.Sleep(200 * time.Millisecond)
+
+    for _, client := range clients {
+        events := client.GetReceivedEvents()
+        assert.GreaterOrEqual(t, len(events), 3) // At least the events from all relays
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Relay Discovery Testing
+
+Test relay list events and dynamic relay discovery:
+
+```go
+func TestRelayDiscovery(t *testing.T) {
+    relay1 := startTestRelay(t, 3334)
+    relay2 := startTestRelay(t, 3335)
+    defer relay1.Stop()
+    defer relay2.Stop()
+
+    client := connectToRelay(t, "ws://127.0.0.1:3334")
+
+    // Publish relay list event (kind 10002)
+    relayList := createRelayListEvent(t, []string{
+        "wss://relay1.example.com",
+        "wss://relay2.example.com",
+    })
+    client.Publish(relayList)
+
+    // Test that relay discovery works
+    discovered := client.QueryRelays()
+    assert.Contains(t, discovered, "wss://relay1.example.com")
+    assert.Contains(t, discovered, "wss://relay2.example.com")
+}
+```
+

+
+# Cleanup
+kill $RELAY1_PID $RELAY2_PID $RELAY3_PID
+
+echo "Tests completed"
+```
+
+## Testing Distributed Features
+
+### Directory Consensus Testing
+
+Test NIP-XX directory consensus protocol:
+
+```go
+func TestDirectoryConsensus(t *testing.T) {
+    // Setup multiple relays with directory support
+    relays := setupDirectoryRelays(t, 5)
+    defer stopRelays(t, relays)
+
+    clients := connectToRelays(t, relays)
+
+    // Create trust acts between relays
+    for i, client := range clients {
+        trustAct := createTrustAct(t, client.Pubkey, relays[(i+1)%len(relays)].Pubkey, 80)
+        client.Publish(trustAct)
+    }
+
+    // Wait for consensus
+    time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
+
+    // Verify trust relationships
+    for _, client := range clients {
+        trustGraph := client.QueryTrustGraph()
+        // Verify expected trust relationships exist
+        assert.True(t, len(trustGraph.GetAllTrustActs()) > 0)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Sync Protocol Testing
+
+Test event synchronization between relays:
+
+```go
+func TestRelaySynchronization(t *testing.T) {
+    relay1 := startTestRelay(t, 3334)
+    relay2 := startTestRelay(t, 3335)
+    defer relay1.Stop()
+    defer relay2.Stop()
+
+    // Enable sync between relays
+    configureSync(t, relay1, relay2)
+
+    client1 := connectToRelay(t, "ws://127.0.0.1:3334")
+    client2 := connectToRelay(t, "ws://127.0.0.1:3335")
+
+    // Publish events to relay1
+    events := createTestEvents(t, 100)
+    for _, event := range events {
+        client1.Publish(event)
+    }
+
+    // Wait for sync
+    waitForSync(t, relay1, relay2)
+
+    // Verify events on relay2
+    syncedEvents := client2.Query(Filter{Kinds: []int{1}, Limit: 200})
+    assert.Len(t, syncedEvents, 100)
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Testing with Multiple Relays
+
+### Load Testing
+
+Test performance under load with multiple relays:
+
+```bash
+# Start multiple relays
+for port in 3334 3335 3336; do
+    ORLY_PORT=$port ./orly &
+    echo $! >> relay_pids.txt
+done
+
+# Run load tests against each relay
+for port in 3334 3335 3336; do
+    echo "Testing relay on port $port"
+    relay-tester -url ws://127.0.0.1:$port -json > results_$port.json &
+done
+
+wait
+
+# Analyze results
+# Combine and compare performance across relays
+```
+
+### Benchmarking Comparisons
+
+Use the benchmark suite for comparative testing:
+
+```bash
+cd cmd/benchmark
+
+# Setup all relay types
+./setup-external-relays.sh
+
+# Run benchmarks comparing multiple implementations
+docker-compose up --build
+
+# Results in reports/run_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/
+cat reports/run_*/aggregate_report.txt
+```
+
+## Debugging Multi-Relay Issues
+
+### Logging
+
+Enable detailed logging for multi-relay debugging:
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging
+export ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+export ORLY_LOG_TO_STDOUT=true
+
+# Start relays with logging
+ORLY_PORT=3334 ./orly 2>&1 | tee relay1.log &
+ORLY_PORT=3335 ./orly 2>&1 | tee relay2.log &
+```
+
+### Connection Monitoring
+
+Monitor WebSocket connections between relays:
+
+```bash
+# Monitor network connections
+netstat -tlnp | grep :3334
+ss -tlnp | grep :3334
+
+# Monitor relay logs
+tail -f relay1.log | grep -E "(connect|disconnect|sync)"
+```
+
+### Event Tracing
+
+Trace events across multiple relays:
+
+```go
+func traceEventPropagation(t *testing.T, eventID string, relays []*TestRelay) {
+    for _, relay := range relays {
+        client := connectToRelay(t, relay.URL)
+        events := client.Query(Filter{IDs: []string{eventID}})
+        if len(events) > 0 {
+            t.Logf("Event %s found on relay %s", eventID, relay.URL)
+        } else {
+            t.Logf("Event %s NOT found on relay %s", eventID, relay.URL)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Test Isolation
+
+- Use separate databases for each test relay
+- Clean up resources after tests
+- Use unique ports to avoid conflicts
+
+### 2. Timing Considerations
+
+- Allow time for event propagation between relays
+- Use exponential backoff for retry logic
+- Account for network latency in assertions
+
+### 3. Resource Management
+
+- Limit concurrent relays in CI/CD
+- Clean up Docker containers and processes
+- Monitor resource usage during tests
+
+### 4. Error Handling
+
+- Test both success and failure scenarios
+- Verify error propagation across relays
+- Test network failure scenarios
+
+### 5. Performance Monitoring
+
+- Measure latency between relays
+- Track memory and CPU usage
+- Monitor WebSocket connection stability
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+### Connection Failures
+
+```bash
+# Check if relays are listening
+netstat -tlnp | grep :3334
+
+# Test WebSocket connection manually
+websocat ws://127.0.0.1:3334
+```
+
+### Event Propagation Delays
+
+```bash
+# Increase wait times in tests
+time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)
+
+// Or use polling
+func waitForEvent(t *testing.T, client *Client, eventID string) {
+    timeout := time.After(5 * time.Second)
+    ticker := time.NewTicker(100 * time.Millisecond)
+    defer ticker.Stop()
+
+    for {
+        select {
+        case <-timeout:
+            t.Fatalf("Event %s not found within timeout", eventID)
+        case <-ticker.C:
+            events := client.Query(Filter{IDs: []string{eventID}})
+            if len(events) > 0 {
+                return
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Race Conditions
+
+```go
+// Use proper synchronization
+var mu sync.Mutex
+eventCount := 0
+
+// In test goroutines
+mu.Lock()
+eventCount++
+mu.Unlock()
+```
+
+### Resource Exhaustion
+
+```bash
+# Limit relay instances in tests
+const maxRelays = 3
+
+func setupLimitedRelays(t *testing.T, count int) []*TestRelay {
+    if count > maxRelays {
+        t.Skipf("Skipping test requiring %d relays (max %d)", count, maxRelays)
+    }
+    // Setup relays...
+}
+```
+
+## Contributing

+# Encryption Performance Optimization Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This report documents the profiling and optimization of encryption functions in the `next.orly.dev/pkg/crypto/encryption` package. The optimization focused on reducing memory allocations and CPU processing time for NIP-44 and NIP-4 encryption/decryption operations.
+
+## Methodology
+
+### Profiling Setup
+
+1. Created comprehensive benchmark tests covering:
+   - NIP-44 encryption/decryption (small, medium, large messages)
+   - NIP-4 encryption/decryption
+   - Conversation key generation
+   - Round-trip operations
+   - Internal helper functions (HMAC, padding, key derivation)
+
+2. Used Go's built-in profiling tools:
+   - CPU profiling (`-cpuprofile`)
+   - Memory profiling (`-memprofile`)
+   - Allocation tracking (`-benchmem`)
+
+### Initial Findings
+
+The profiling data revealed several key bottlenecks:
+
+1. **NIP-44 Encrypt**: 27 allocations per operation, 1936 bytes allocated
+2. **NIP-44 Decrypt**: 24 allocations per operation, 1776 bytes allocated
+3. **Memory Allocations**: Primary hotspots identified:
+   - `crypto/hmac.New`: 1.80GB total allocations (29.64% of all allocations)
+   - `encrypt` function: 0.78GB allocations (12.86% of all allocations)
+   - `hkdf.Expand`: 1.15GB allocations (19.01% of all allocations)
+   - Base64 encoding/decoding allocations
+
+4. **CPU Processing**: Primary hotspots:
+   - `getKeys`: 2.86s (27.26% of CPU time)
+   - `encrypt`: 1.74s (16.59% of CPU time)
+   - `sha256Hmac`: 1.67s (15.92% of CPU time)
+   - `sha256.block`: 1.71s (16.30% of CPU time)
+
+## Optimizations Implemented
+
+### 1. NIP-44 Encrypt Optimization
+
+**Problem**: Multiple allocations from `append` operations and buffer growth.
+
+**Solution**:
+- Pre-allocate ciphertext buffer with exact size instead of using `append`
+- Use `copy` instead of `append` for better performance and fewer allocations
+
+**Code Changes** (`nip44.go`):
+```go
+// Pre-allocate with exact size to avoid reallocation
+ctLen := 1 + 32 + len(cipher) + 32
+ct := make([]byte, ctLen)
+ct[0] = version
+copy(ct[1:], o.nonce)
+copy(ct[33:], cipher)
+copy(ct[33+len(cipher):], mac)
+cipherString = make([]byte, base64.StdEncoding.EncodedLen(ctLen))
+base64.StdEncoding.Encode(cipherString, ct)
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- **Before**: 3217 ns/op, 1936 B/op, 27 allocs/op
+- **After**: 3147 ns/op, 1936 B/op, 27 allocs/op
+- **Improvement**: 2% faster, allocation count unchanged (minor improvement)
+
+### 2. NIP-44 Decrypt Optimization
+
+**Problem**: String conversion overhead from `base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(string(b64ciphertextWrapped))` and inefficient buffer allocation.
+
+**Solution**:
+- Use `base64.StdEncoding.Decode` directly with byte slices to avoid string conversion
+- Pre-allocate decoded buffer and slice to actual decoded length
+- This eliminates the string allocation and copy overhead
+
+**Code Changes** (`nip44.go`):
+```go
+// Pre-allocate decoded buffer to avoid string conversion overhead
+decodedLen := base64.StdEncoding.DecodedLen(len(b64ciphertextWrapped))
+decoded := make([]byte, decodedLen)
+var n int
+if n, err = base64.StdEncoding.Decode(decoded, b64ciphertextWrapped); chk.E(err) {
+	return
+}
+decoded = decoded[:n]
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- **Before**: 2530 ns/op, 1776 B/op, 24 allocs/op
+- **After**: 2446 ns/op, 1600 B/op, 23 allocs/op
+- **Improvement**: 3% faster, 10% less memory, 4% fewer allocations
+- **Large messages**: 19028 ns/op → 17109 ns/op (10% faster), 17248 B → 11104 B (36% less memory)
+
+### 3. NIP-4 Decrypt Optimization
+
+**Problem**: IV buffer allocation issue where decoded buffer was larger than needed, causing CBC decrypter to fail.
+
+**Solution**:
+- Properly slice decoded buffers to actual decoded length
+- Add validation for IV length (must be 16 bytes)
+- Use `base64.StdEncoding.Decode` directly instead of `DecodeString`
+
+**Code Changes** (`nip4.go`):
+```go
+ciphertextBuf := make([]byte, base64.StdEncoding.EncodedLen(len(parts[0])))
+var ciphertextLen int
+if ciphertextLen, err = base64.StdEncoding.Decode(ciphertextBuf, parts[0]); chk.E(err) {
+	err = errorf.E("error decoding ciphertext from base64: %w", err)
+	return
+}
+ciphertext := ciphertextBuf[:ciphertextLen]
+
+ivBuf := make([]byte, base64.StdEncoding.EncodedLen(len(parts[1])))
+var ivLen int
+if ivLen, err = base64.StdEncoding.Decode(ivBuf, parts[1]); chk.E(err) {
+	err = errorf.E("error decoding iv from base64: %w", err)
+	return
+}
+iv := ivBuf[:ivLen]
+if len(iv) != 16 {
+	err = errorf.E("invalid IV length: %d, expected 16", len(iv))
+	return
+}
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- Fixed critical bug where IV buffer was incorrect size
+- Reduced allocations by properly sizing buffers
+- Added validation for IV length

+
+## Key Insights
+
+### Allocation Reduction
+
+The most significant improvement came from optimizing base64 decoding:
+- **Decrypt**: Reduced from 24 to 23 allocations (4% reduction)
+- **Decrypt Large**: Reduced from 17248 to 11104 bytes (36% reduction)
+- Eliminated string conversion overhead in `Decrypt` function
+
+### String Conversion Elimination
+
+Replacing `base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(string(b64ciphertextWrapped))` with direct `Decode` on byte slices:
+- Eliminates string allocation and copy
+- Reduces memory pressure
+- Improves cache locality
+
+### Buffer Pre-allocation
+
+Pre-allocating buffers with exact sizes:
+- Prevents multiple slice growth operations
+- Reduces memory fragmentation
+- Improves cache locality
+
+### Remaining Optimization Opportunities
+
+1. **HMAC Creation**: `crypto/hmac.New` creates a new hash.Hash each time (1.80GB allocations). This is necessary for thread safety, but could potentially be optimized with:
+   - A sync.Pool for HMAC instances (requires careful reset handling)
+   - Or pre-allocating HMAC hash state
+
+2. **HKDF Operations**: `hkdf.Expand` allocations (1.15GB) come from the underlying crypto library. These are harder to optimize without changing the library.
+
+3. **ChaCha20 Cipher Creation**: Each encryption creates a new cipher instance. This is necessary for thread safety but could potentially be pooled.
+
+4. **Base64 Encoding**: While we optimized decoding, encoding still allocates. However, encoding is already quite efficient.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Use Direct Base64 Decode**: Always use `base64.StdEncoding.Decode` with byte slices instead of `DecodeString` when possible.
+
+2. **Pre-allocate Buffers**: When possible, pre-allocate buffers with exact sizes using `make([]byte, size)` instead of `append`.
+
+3. **Consider HMAC Pooling**: For high-throughput scenarios, consider implementing a sync.Pool for HMAC instances, being careful to properly reset them.
+
+4. **Monitor Large Messages**: Large message decryption benefits most from these optimizations (36% memory reduction).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The optimizations implemented improved decryption performance:
+- **3-10% faster** decryption depending on message size
+- **10-36% reduction** in memory allocations
+- **4% reduction** in allocation count
+- **Fixed critical bug** in NIP-4 decryption
+
+These improvements will reduce GC pressure and improve overall system throughput, especially under high load conditions with many encryption/decryption operations. The optimizations maintain backward compatibility and require no changes to calling code.

-# p256k1
-
-This is a library that uses the `bitcoin-core` optimized secp256k1 elliptic
-curve signatures library for `nostr` schnorr signatures.
-
-If you need to build it without `libsecp256k1` C library, you must disable cgo:
-
-    export CGO_ENABLED='0'
-
-This enables the fallback `btcec` pure Go library to be used in its place. This
-CGO setting is not default for Go, so it must be set in order to disable this.
-
-The standard `libsecp256k1-0` and `libsecp256k1-dev` available through the
-ubuntu dpkg repositories do not include support for the BIP-340 schnorr
-signatures or the ECDH X-only shared secret generation algorithm, so you must
-follow the following instructions to get the benefits of using this library. It
-is 4x faster at signing and generating shared secrets so it is a must if your
-intention is to use it for high throughput systems like a network transport.
-
-The easy way to install it, if you have ubuntu/debian, is the script
-[../ubuntu_install_libsecp256k1.sh](../../../scripts/ubuntu_install_libsecp256k1.sh),
-it
-handles the dependencies and runs the build all in one step for you. Note that
-it
-
-For ubuntu, you need these:
-
-    sudo apt -y install build-essential autoconf libtool
-
-For other linux distributions, the process is the same but the dependencies are
-likely different. The main thing is it requires make, gcc/++, autoconf and
-libtool to run. The most important thing to point out is that you must enable
-the schnorr signatures feature, and ECDH.
-
-The directory `p256k/secp256k1` needs to be initialized, built and installed,
-like so:
-
-```bash
-cd secp256k1
-git submodule init
-git submodule update
-```
-
-Then to build, you can refer to the [instructions](./secp256k1/README.md) or
-just use the default autotools:
-
-```bash
-./autogen.sh
-./configure --enable-module-schnorrsig --enable-module-ecdh --prefix=/usr
-make
-sudo make install
-```
-
-On WSL2 you may have to attend to various things to make this work, setting up
-your basic locale (uncomment one or more in `/etc/locale.gen`, and run
-`locale-gen`), installing the basic build tools (build-essential or base-devel)
-and of course git, curl, wget, libtool and
-autoconf.
-
-## ECDH
-
-TODO: Currently the use of the libsecp256k1 library for ECDH, used in nip-04 and
-nip-44 encryption is not enabled, because the default version uses the Y
-coordinate and this is incorrect for nostr. It will be enabled soon... for now
-it is done with the `btcec` fallback version. This is slower, however previous
-tests have shown that this ECDH library is fast enough to enable 8mb/s
-throughput per CPU thread when used to generate a distinct secret for TCP
-packets. The C library will likely raise this to 20mb/s or more.

+
+---
+
+## 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:
+
+```go
+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)

+# 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)
+- **Schnorr Verify**: Verifying BIP-340 Schnorr signatures
+- **ECDH**: Computing shared secrets using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Install btcec
+go get github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2
+go get github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrec/secp256k1/v4
+
+# Install p256k1 (if not already available)
+go get github.com/mleku/p256k1
+
+# Install libsecp256k1 (for p8k benchmarks)
+# Ubuntu/Debian:
+sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-dev
+
+# macOS:
+brew install libsecp256k1
+
+# Or build from source:
+cd ..
+make install-secp256k1
+```
+
+## Running Benchmarks
+
+### Run All Comparative Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+cd bench
+go test -bench=BenchmarkAll -benchmem -benchtime=10s
+```
+
+### Run Individual Operation Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+# Public key derivation comparison
+go test -bench=BenchmarkComparative_PubkeyDerivation -benchmem -benchtime=10s
+
+# Schnorr signing comparison
+go test -bench=BenchmarkComparative_SchnorrSign -benchmem -benchtime=10s
+
+# Schnorr verification comparison
+go test -bench=BenchmarkComparative_SchnorrVerify -benchmem -benchtime=10s
+
+# ECDH comparison
+go test -bench=BenchmarkComparative_ECDH -benchmem -benchtime=10s
+```
+
+### Run Single Implementation Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+# Only BTCEC
+go test -bench=BenchmarkBTCEC -benchmem
+
+# Only P256K1
+go test -bench=BenchmarkP256K1 -benchmem
+
+# Only P8K
+go test -bench=BenchmarkP8K -benchmem
+```
+
+### Generate Pretty Output
+
+```bash
+# Run and save results
+go test -bench=BenchmarkAll -benchmem -benchtime=10s | tee results.txt
+
+# Or use benchstat for statistical analysis
+go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat@latest
+
+# Run multiple times for better statistical analysis
+go test -bench=BenchmarkAll -benchmem -benchtime=10s -count=10 | tee results.txt
+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!
