feat: implement ndebit debit approval with single-use protection

Implement the complete ATM-side ndebit (cash-in) flow with single-use
protection to prevent double-spending from the same QR code.

Key features:
- Debit approval service subscribes to GetLiveDebitRequests from Lightning.Pub
- Session-based validation: each ndebit QR is valid for one use only
- Amount decoded from BOLT11 invoice when not provided in message
- Atomic session marking prevents race conditions
- Triple protection: event ID tracking, invoice tracking, session status

Changes:
- apps/machine/src/services/lightning.ts: Add debit approval service with
  session management, BOLT11 amount decoding, and RespondToDebit approval
- packages/state-machine: Add cashInSessionId to context and generation
- docs/ndebit-cash-in-flow.md: Comprehensive documentation of the flow,
  architecture diagrams, and troubleshooting guide

Infrastructure improvements:
- Auto-miner service for regtest (keeps LND synced during testing)
- Electron .env file loading for runtime configuration
- Preload script compilation for Electron IPC

 ## ATM/Service Implementation
 
+### Overview
+
+The ATM implements a **debit approval service** that:
+
+1. Generates ndebit QR codes with the ATM's Lightning.Pub account
+2. Subscribes to `GetLiveDebitRequests` to receive incoming debit requests
+3. Validates requests against active sessions (single-use protection)
+4. Approves valid requests via `RespondToDebit` RPC

+```
+
 ### Generating the NDebit QR
 
-The ATM service needs to:
+```typescript
+// apps/machine/src/services/lightning.ts
 
-1. **Get the ndebit from Lightning.Pub:**
+generateNdebit: async (context: ATMContext): Promise<string> => {
+  // The pointer MUST be a valid Lightning.Pub account identifier
+  // Lightning.Pub uses this to find which account should pay
+  const pointer = 'atm' // ATM's account identifier in Lightning.Pub
 
-```javascript
+  const ndebit = encodeNdebit({
-const user = await getAtmUser() // API call to Lightning.Pub
+    pubkey: CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey, // Lightning.Pub's pubkey (NOT ATM's!)
-const ndebit = user.info.ndebit
+    relay: CONFIG.relayUrl,
-```
+    pointer,
-
-2. **Rewrite relay for browser access** (if needed):
-
-```javascript
-import { decodeNdebit, encodeNdebit } from '@lamassu/clink'
-
-function rewriteNdebitRelay(ndebitString, browserRelay) {
-  const decoded = decodeNdebit(ndebitString)
-  if (!decoded) return ndebitString
-
-  return encodeNdebit({
-    pubkey: decoded.pubkey,
-    relay: browserRelay, // e.g., 'ws://localhost:7777'
-    pointer: decoded.pointer,
   })
+
+  // Register session for single-use tracking (see below)
+  registerActiveSession(context.cashInSessionId, context.satsAmount)
+
+  // Format as full URI with amount
+  return formatNdebitUri(ndebit, context.satsAmount)
+  // Returns: clink:ndebit1qqsyh68zq...?amount=2450
 }
 ```
 
-3. **Format the URI with amount:**
+**Critical:** The ndebit encodes **Lightning.Pub's pubkey**, not the ATM's pubkey. This is because:
 
-```javascript
+- The wallet sends Kind 21002 to the pubkey in the ndebit
-// Using clink: scheme (protocol-agnostic, supports Cashu/Fedimint in future)
+- Lightning.Pub must receive it to process the payment
-function formatNdebitUri(ndebit, amountSats) {
+- The `pointer` field tells Lightning.Pub which account to debit
-  const rewritten = rewriteNdebitRelay(ndebit, 'ws://localhost:7777')
+
-  return `clink:${rewritten}?amount=${amountSats}`
+### Single-Use Protection (Session Management)
+
+Each ndebit QR is valid for **one use only**. This prevents:
+
+- Double-spending from the same QR
+- Replay attacks with saved QR codes
+
+#### How It Works
+
+1. **Session Registration**: When generating an ndebit, we create a session:
+
+```typescript
+interface ActiveSession {
+  sessionId: string // Unique ID for this transaction
+  satsAmount: number // Expected amount
+  createdAt: number // Timestamp
+  status: 'active' | 'paid' | 'expired'
+}
+
+const activeSessions = new Map<string, ActiveSession>()
+
+function registerActiveSession(sessionId: string, satsAmount: number): void {
+  activeSessions.set(sessionId, {
+    sessionId,
+    satsAmount,
+    createdAt: Date.now(),
+    status: 'active',
+  })
+
+  // Auto-expire after 5 minutes
+  setTimeout(
+    () => {
+      const session = activeSessions.get(sessionId)
+      if (session?.status === 'active') {
+        session.status = 'expired'
+      }
+    },
+    5 * 60 * 1000
+  )
 }
 ```
 
-4. **Generate QR code:**
+2. **Session Validation**: When a debit request arrives, we find a matching session:
 
-```javascript
+```typescript
-import QRCode from 'qrcode'
+function findActiveSessionByAmount(amountSats: number): ActiveSession | null {
+  for (const session of activeSessions.values()) {
+    if (session.status !== 'active') continue
 
-const uri = formatNdebitUri(ndebit, 1000)
+    // Match with small tolerance for rounding
-const qrDataUrl = await QRCode.toDataURL(uri, { width: 300 })
+    const tolerance = Math.max(1, Math.floor(session.satsAmount * 0.001))
+    if (Math.abs(amountSats - session.satsAmount) <= tolerance) {
+      return session
+    }
+  }
+  return null
+}
 ```
 
-### Handling Debit Requests (Lightning.Pub)
+3. **Atomic Status Update**: Before approving, we mark the session as paid:
 
-Lightning.Pub handles Kind 21002 debit requests automatically. It will:
+```typescript
+// In debit request handler:
+const matchingSession = findActiveSessionByAmount(amountSats)
+if (!matchingSession) {
+  console.log('[Debit] REJECTED: No matching active session')
+  return
+}
 
-1. Receive the debit request with the invoice
+// Mark as paid BEFORE sending approval (prevents race conditions)
-2. Validate the request (check pointer, amount limits, etc.)
+matchingSession.status = 'paid'
-3. Pay the invoice from the ATM user's balance
-4. Send response back via relay
 
-**Important:** The ATM user must have sufficient balance to pay invoices.
+// Now approve...
+```
+
+#### Additional Protections
+
+```typescript
+// Track processed events (prevents replay of same Nostr event)
+const processedEventIds = new Set<string>()
+
+// Track approved invoices (prevents same invoice being approved twice)
+const approvedInvoices = new Set<string>()
+
+const handleDebitRequest = async (message: DebitRequest, eventId: string) => {
+  // Check 1: Event already processed?
+  if (processedEventIds.has(eventId)) {
+    console.log('[Debit] REJECTED: Event already processed')
+    return
+  }
+
+  // Check 2: Invoice already approved?
+  if (approvedInvoices.has(invoice)) {
+    console.log('[Debit] REJECTED: Invoice already approved')
+    return
+  }
+
+  // Check 3: Matching active session?
+  const session = findActiveSessionByAmount(amountSats)
+  if (!session) {
+    console.log('[Debit] REJECTED: No matching active session')
+    return
+  }
+
+  // Mark everything BEFORE sending approval
+  session.status = 'paid'
+  processedEventIds.add(eventId)
+  approvedInvoices.add(invoice)
+
+  // Now approve...
+}
+```
+
+### Debit Approval Service
+
+The ATM runs a background service that listens for debit requests:
+
+```typescript
+function startDebitApprovalService(
+  nostrClient: NostrClient,
+  identity: MachineIdentity,
+  onPaymentApproved?: DebitPaymentCallback
+): () => void {
+  // 1. Subscribe to Kind 21000 events from Lightning.Pub
+  const subscriptionId = nostrClient.subscribe(
+    [
+      {
+        kinds: [21000],
+        authors: [CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey],
+        '#p': [identity.publicKey],
+        since: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - 5,
+      },
+    ],
+    { onEvent: eventHandler }
+  )
+
+  // 2. Send GetLiveDebitRequests subscription request
+  const subscribeRequest = {
+    rpcName: 'GetLiveDebitRequests',
+    authIdentifier: identity.publicKey,
+    body: {},
+  }
+
+  const event = createSignedEvent(identity, {
+    kind: 21000,
+    tags: [['p', CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey]],
+    content: encryptContent(identity, CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey, subscribeRequest),
+  })
+
+  await nostrClient.publish(event)
+}
+```
+
+### Handling Debit Requests
+
+When a debit request arrives via the subscription:
+
+```typescript
+const eventHandler = (event: NostrEvent) => {
+  // Decrypt the message
+  const message = JSON.parse(decryptContent(identity, CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey, event.content))
+
+  // Check if it's a live debit request
+  if (message.requestId === 'GetLiveDebitRequests' && message.debit) {
+    handleDebitRequest(message, event.id)
+  }
+}
+
+const handleDebitRequest = async (message: DebitRequest, eventId: string) => {
+  // Message structure:
+  // {
+  //   request_id: "9f22a67c...",
+  //   npub: "43bfda6c...",
+  //   debit: {
+  //     type: "invoice",
+  //     invoice: "lnbcrt24500n1p5hm..."
+  //   }
+  // }
+
+  // Extract amount from BOLT11 invoice (amount_sats field is often missing)
+  let amountSats = message.debit.amount_sats
+  if (!amountSats) {
+    amountSats = decodeAmountFromBolt11(message.debit.invoice)
+  }
+
+  // Validate against active sessions (single-use check)
+  const session = findActiveSessionByAmount(amountSats)
+  if (!session) {
+    console.log('[Debit] REJECTED: No matching active session')
+    return
+  }
+
+  // Mark session as paid (prevents double-use)
+  session.status = 'paid'
+
+  // Approve the debit request
+  const approveRequest = {
+    rpcName: 'RespondToDebit',
+    authIdentifier: identity.publicKey,
+    body: {
+      npub: message.npub,
+      request_id: message.request_id,
+      response: {
+        type: 'invoice',
+        invoice: message.debit.invoice,
+      },
+    },
+  }
+
+  const approveEvent = createSignedEvent(identity, {
+    kind: 21000,
+    tags: [['p', CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey]],
+    content: encryptContent(identity, CONFIG.lightningPubPubkey, approveRequest),
+  })
+
+  await nostrClient.publish(approveEvent)
+  console.log('[Debit] SUCCESS: Approved debit request')
+}
+```
+
+### BOLT11 Amount Decoding
+
+Lightning.Pub doesn't always include `amount_sats` in the debit request, so we decode it from the invoice:
+
+```typescript
+function decodeAmountFromBolt11(invoice: string): number | null {
+  // BOLT11 format: ln<network><amount><multiplier>...
+  // Networks: bc (mainnet), tb (testnet), bcrt (regtest)
+  // Multipliers: m=milli (0.001), u=micro (0.000001), n=nano, p=pico
+
+  const match = invoice.toLowerCase().match(/^ln(bc|tb|bcrt)(\d+)([munp])?/)
+  if (!match) return null
+
+  const [, , amountStr, multiplier] = match
+  let amount = parseInt(amountStr, 10)
+
+  // Convert to satoshis (1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats)
+  switch (multiplier) {
+    case 'm':
+      amount = amount * 100000
+      break // milli-BTC
+    case 'u':
+      amount = amount * 100
+      break // micro-BTC
+    case 'n':
+      amount = Math.floor(amount / 10)
+      break // nano-BTC
+    case 'p':
+      amount = Math.floor(amount / 10000)
+      break // pico-BTC
+    default:
+      amount = amount * 100000000 // BTC
+  }
+
+  return amount
+}
+```
+
+### Lightning.Pub's Role
+
+Lightning.Pub handles the actual payment:
+
+1. Receives Kind 21002 debit request from user's wallet
+2. Looks up the account by `pointer` field (e.g., "atm")
+3. Forwards request to GetLiveDebitRequests subscribers
+4. Waits for approval via RespondToDebit
+5. Pays the invoice from the account's balance
+6. Sends Kind 21002 response to user's wallet
+
+**Important:** The ATM account must have sufficient balance to pay invoices.

 **Problem:** Trying to encode amount in the ndebit bech32 string
 **Solution:** Use query parameter: `?amount=1000`
 
+### 7. Invalid Pointer in NDebit
+
+**Problem:** Using custom session IDs or arbitrary strings as the ndebit pointer
+
+```
+wallet >> user atm:ml2b5abxdppn58sty5 not found wallet
+DebitManager >> ERROR application user not found
+```
+
+**Cause:** Lightning.Pub uses the `pointer` field to look up which account should pay. It must be a valid Lightning.Pub user identifier (e.g., `atm`), not a custom session string.
+
+**Solution:** Use the ATM's Lightning.Pub account identifier as the pointer:
+
+```typescript
+const pointer = 'atm' // NOT 'atm:sessionId123'
+```
+
+Track sessions locally using amount-based matching instead.
+
+### 8. Debit Requests Not Received
+
+**Problem:** GetLiveDebitRequests subscription sent but no debit requests arrive
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+
+1. Wrong pubkey in ndebit (must be Lightning.Pub's pubkey)
+2. Subscription filter doesn't match (check `authors` and `#p` tags)
+3. Using SimplePool instead of direct Relay connection (see `packages/lightning/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`)
+4. Race condition - published before subscription was ready
+
+**Solution:** Add verbose logging to trace the flow:
+
+```typescript
+nostrClient.subscribe([...], {
+  onEvent: (event) => {
+    console.log('[Debit] Event received:', event.kind, event.id)
+    // ...
+  },
+  onEose: () => {
+    console.log('[Debit] EOSE received - subscription active')
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### 9. Missing Amount in Debit Request
+
+**Problem:** `message.debit.amount_sats` is undefined
+
+**Cause:** Lightning.Pub doesn't always include the amount in the forwarded debit request
+
+**Solution:** Decode the amount from the BOLT11 invoice:
+
+```typescript
+const amountSats = message.debit.amount_sats || decodeAmountFromBolt11(invoice)
+```

+**Solution:** Implement session-based single-use protection:
+
+1. Register each ndebit generation as a session with expected amount
+2. Match incoming requests against active sessions
+3. Mark session as `paid` **before** sending approval (atomic)
+4. Reject requests with no matching active session
+
+See "Single-Use Protection" section above for implementation details.

 ## Testing Checklist
 
-1. [ ] Lightning.Pub health check returns OK
+### Infrastructure
-2. [ ] LND is synced (`synced_to_chain: true`)
+
-3. [ ] ATM user exists and has balance
+- [ ] Lightning.Pub health check returns OK
-4. [ ] Relay is accessible from browser
+- [ ] LND is synced (`synced_to_chain: true`)
-5. [ ] Wallet source configured with correct relay
+- [ ] ATM user exists and has balance (`fund-atm` command)
-6. [ ] NDebit QR contains `clink:` prefix
+- [ ] Relay is accessible from browser (`ws://localhost:7777`)
-7. [ ] NDebit QR contains `?amount=` parameter
+
-8. [ ] NDebit relay is browser-accessible
+### NDebit QR Generation
+
+- [ ] QR contains `clink:` prefix
+- [ ] QR contains `?amount=` parameter
+- [ ] NDebit encodes **Lightning.Pub's pubkey** (not ATM's)
+- [ ] NDebit pointer is valid account identifier (`atm`)
+- [ ] Relay URL is browser-accessible (not Docker-internal)
+
+### Debit Approval Service
+
+- [ ] Service starts: `[Debit] Starting debit approval service`
+- [ ] Subscription active: `[Debit] EOSE received`
+- [ ] Events received: `[Debit] Event received: {kind: 21000, ...}`
+- [ ] Decryption works: `[Debit] Decrypted message: {...}`
+
+### Single-Use Protection
+
+- [ ] First claim succeeds: `[Debit] SUCCESS: Approved debit request`
+- [ ] Second claim fails: `[Debit] REJECTED: No matching active session`
+- [ ] Session marked as paid after approval
+- [ ] Same invoice rejected: `[Debit] REJECTED: Invoice already approved`
+
+### End-to-End
+
+- [ ] ATM displays ndebit QR
+- [ ] Wallet scans and claims
+- [ ] Debit approved and payment received
+- [ ] State machine transitions to success
+- [ ] Repeated scan is rejected
