Running the route suite on this box surfaced that the backup was
unreachable here: `identity/master_seed.enc` is written during
onboarding, and any node onboarded before that step existed simply does
not have one. Reveal bailed with "this node has no encrypted seed
backup", and restore followed it down.
But the choice on such a node was never "derived phrase or independent
phrase" — it was "independent phrase or no backup at all", and a wallet
whose coins can be restored from words the operator holds beats one
whose coins die with a single file. So it now generates one, recorded as
`independent`, and every surface that shows it says plainly that
restoring the node will not bring the ecash back — only these words
will. `derivable_from_node_seed` lets the card say which kind you are
about to get *before* you write anything down.
Also: a mint that never implemented NUT-09 answered restore with a bare
404, which surfaced as "mint returned 404 with no further detail" —
true, and useless to someone trying to get their coins back. It now
names the limitation.
The route suite was reading `result.amount_sats` from mint-claim, which
answers with `minted_sats`. A working claim had been reporting as a
failure; that was one of the two reds carried over from yesterday.
The real gap, though, was that "recovered 0 sats" passes on a wallet
with nothing to find — exactly the shape of a backup that looks fine
until the day you need it. test-ecash-restore.sh does the test that
settles it: mint, **delete the wallet file**, restore, check the coins
came back. On this box: 87 sats before the wipe, 0 after, 61 recovered
from the phrase alone — every coin minted since the phrase existed, and
none of the 26 sats minted before it, which used random secrets and
never could come back. Testnet only, and it refuses to run otherwise.

Four things the suite could not previously catch:
- The emitted token is cashuA. It is still valid, so nothing fails — the
send succeeds and the receiver redeems it. The only symptom of cashuB
encoding falling back is a warning in the journal nobody reads, which
is exactly the kind of silent regression a route check exists for.
- The wallet has no backup phrase. Without one the coins live in exactly
one file and nothing can bring them back.
- The phrase changes between reveals, which would orphan every coin
minted under the previous one.
- Restore double-counts. It runs against a live wallet, so running it
twice must leave the balance where it was.
Reveal is also asserted to refuse a wrong password: it is the one route
here that hands out key material, and a session alone must not be enough.

`get_active_sat_keyset` picked the first keyset with a non-empty key map,
and `MintKeyset` had no `unit` field to filter on — so on a multi-unit mint
the wallet signed sat-denominated mint/swap requests against a usd or eur
keyset. The mint refuses that with `11013 Unit unsupported`, which is
exactly what claiming minted coins hit against testnut.cashu.space (it
serves usd, eur, msat and sat keysets). Minibits is sat-only, so this
latent bug never surfaced in production — the test-mint switch found it on
its first run.
MintKeyset now carries `unit` and `active`, both defaulted so a sat-only
mint that omits them still parses, and selection filters to sat and prefers
an active keyset.
Also: pin BIP-39 seed derivation to the specification's own test vectors.
The node's entire identity hangs off `Mnemonic::to_seed("")`, and the
`bip39` crate is no longer version-pinned (the exact pin had to be relaxed
so `cashu` could resolve). A bump that changed derivation would silently
re-key every node on the fleet and orphan every backup; both vectors —
empty passphrase and the NFKD-exercising passphrase arm — now fail the
suite instead. Verified byte-identical under the newly resolved 2.2.2.
And the route script polls the mint's quote state before claiming: the test
mint settles its own invoices, but not instantly, so claiming immediately
raced the settlement and reported a spurious "Quote not paid".

Executes steps 1-3 of docs/cashu-cdk-migration-plan.md, plus the test-coin
switch needed to exercise these routes without spending real sats.
Protocol layer: depend on `cashu` 0.17.5 (MIT, the crate CDK is built on,
default-features off, `wallet` only). Keyset ids now go through upstream's
`Id::from_short_keyset_id` / `ShortKeysetId` instead of the prefix match
hand-rolled in 2277fc46 — same repair, but implemented by the reference
code that defines the rule, so the next spec turn is a version bump rather
than another incident. `MintClient` feeds it the mint's `/v1/keysets` in
upstream's own `KeySetInfo` shape, parsing entries individually so one
keyset in an unmodelled unit can't block resolving the id we need.
Adding the crate required relaxing `bip39 = "=2.1.0"` to `"2.1"` (resolves
2.2.2): the exact pin held `unicode-normalization` at 0.1.22 and no
resolution existed otherwise. The pin carried no recorded rationale; seed
tests cover the bump.
Network switch: `wallet.ecash-network` / `wallet.ecash-set-network`, with a
Test mode toggle in Wallet Settings → Cashu. Cashu has no testnet, so this
points the wallet at the public `testnut` mint — but crucially each network
gets its OWN wallet and accepted-mints file, because test and real proofs
in one purse would be spendable interchangeably and the balance would be a
lie. Mainnet keeps the original filenames, so existing funds files are
untouched and switching is reversible: tests assert a real balance survives
a round trip through test mode.
Headless coverage: scripts/test-ecash-routes.sh drives every ecash RPC over
the real HTTP path (network get/set, balance, history, mint quote + claim,
send, receive, double-redeem refusal, garbage input, melt quote), restores
the node's original network on exit, and exits non-zero with the failure
count.
