S223: deep debt — smart refactor, sleep elimination, test speed

Smart-refactored btsp/json_line.rs (905 LOC → 478 + relay.rs 255 +
negotiate.rs 189): zero production files >800 LOC. Relay handshake and
Phase 3 negotiate now live in cohesive modules.

Eliminated 4 test sleeps with deterministic alternatives:
- ember/held_resource: removed 5ms thread::sleep, tightened assertion
- ember/lend_reclaim: removed 1ms sleep (nanos resolution sufficient)
- distributed/registry: backdated health_timestamp instead of 150ms sleep
- intrusion: evolved to tokio::time::Instant + start_paused=true

Fixed auto_config test suite blocking 10s on mDNS daemon and DNS
resolution: discover_local_services, discover_wellknown_services, and
discover_mdns_services now skip network I/O in cfg!(test) mode.
237 tests: 10.02s → 0.24s (41x speedup).

Stale /tmp/ecoPrimals/discovery/ comments evolved to capability-based.
Confirmed zero production unwrap(). +12 tests (resource_validator
analysis: identify_gaps + generate_warnings). TCP probe timeout reduced
100ms → 5ms for tests.

-**Date**: May 2026 — S222
+**Date**: May 2026 — S223
 **Philosophy**: Math is universal, precision is silicon. Workarounds are
 short-term solutions that increase debt. We aim to solve deep debt over
 iterations, evolving toward vendor-agnostic, capability-based solutions—
 with production stubs surfacing typed configuration errors and capability
 guidance, and auth policy driven by explicit environment configuration
 where applicable.
 
+**S223 (Deep Debt — json_line.rs Smart Refactor + Coverage + Stale Comments)**:
+Smart-refactored `btsp/json_line.rs` (905 LOC → 478 + 255 relay.rs + 189 negotiate.rs);
+zero files >800 LOC in production code. Production `unwrap()` audit: confirmed zero
+production unwraps (all in tests/docs). Fixed stale hardcoded `/tmp/ecoPrimals/discovery/`
+comments in `integration/protocols/src/client/discovery.rs` → capability-based language.
+Added 12 inline tests to `server/src/resource_validator/analysis.rs` (`identify_gaps` +
+`generate_warnings`). All quality gates green.
