Throwaway research spike (spike/ branch, outside pub workspace, no prod deps
touched). Validates the open Block 2 decisions before committing a funded round:
1. Deterministic one-way secp256k1 (Nostr) key derived from the Ğ1 root seed
via HKDF — user still backs up ONE thing. Reproducible + signs (BIP340).
2. OfferTransport abstraction over Nostr NIP-99 (kind 30402); Offer stays
inventory/location-agnostic, geohash coarsened on the wire (tested).
3. publish->discover-by-geohash proven end-to-end against an in-process
hermetic mini-relay (~34ms round-trip).
Findings + risks + recommendation in docs/design/spike-block2-findings.md.
Block 1 suite untouched. 14 tests green, analyzer clean.
