Implement BitLogin as a modular protocol library, embeddable widget, and demo site

Builds out the v0.3 spec as an npm workspace monorepo any static site can
consume for login and Nostr signing:

- packages/core: framework-free protocol implementation — Argon2id/HKDF/
  ScalarExpand/AES-256-GCM/JCS crypto primitives, NIP-01 event handling and a
  quorum-aware relay pool, credential/recovery capsule construction and
  validation, and the full account lifecycle (registration, any-device
  login with rollback/relay-disagreement detection, phrase recovery with
  recovery-capsule refresh, password rotation with mandatory tombstone +
  NIP-09 deletion, replica repair, recovery export, NIP-19 encoding, a
  NIP-44 v2 implementation, and a NIP-07-shaped signer). 49 tests cover the
  spec's Phase 0 byte-level vectors plus full create/login/recover/rotate
  end-to-end scenarios against an in-memory mock relay.

- packages/widget: a <bitlogin-auth> custom element with a dedicated crypto
  Web Worker (private keys never touch the main thread) and a window.nostr
  NIP-07-compatible provider, so existing Nostr web apps work against it
  with zero code changes. Built with Vite into two relocatable static files.

- packages/demo: a plain static site (no build step of its own) consuming
  the widget — a branding/landing page, an integration guide, and an
  account-manager page covering create/login/recover, password rotation,
  and identity export.

All flows were verified twice: protocol-level tests against a mock relay,
and the actual built widget driven end-to-end in real Chromium (registration,
phrase confirmation, event signing, clean-device login, window.nostr, and
phrase recovery all reproduce the identical everyday pubkey).

+# BitLogin
+
+login for normies.
+
+A static, relay-backed portable account protocol: a familiar login name and
+password that unlocks a portable Nostr identity, plus an independent 12-word
+recovery phrase. Encrypted account material lives on public Nostr relays —
+no account server, no password-reset email, no database.
+
+This repo implements the protocol from `docs/spec.md` (v0.3) as a modular
+system any static site can embed for login and Nostr signing.
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+packages/
+  core/    @bitlogin/core   — protocol implementation: crypto, capsules, Nostr
+                              relay I/O, account flows. Framework- and DOM-free,
+                              runs in Node or a browser/worker.
+  widget/  @bitlogin/widget — <bitlogin-auth> custom element + a NIP-07-shaped
+                              window.nostr provider, backed by a dedicated
+                              crypto Web Worker. Built with Vite into two
+                              static files any site can <script> in.
+  demo/    @bitlogin/demo   — plain static site (no build step of its own)
+                              consuming the widget: a landing/branding page,
+                              an integration guide, and an account-manager
+                              page (create/login/recover, password rotation,
+                              identity export).
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+npm install                       # installs all three workspaces
+npm test                          # runs @bitlogin/core's test suite (vitest)
+npm run build                     # builds core, then widget
+npm run dev:demo                  # assembles + serves the demo at :4173
+```
+
+`@bitlogin/demo`'s `npm run build` copies the built widget into
+`packages/demo/dist/vendor/bitlogin/` alongside the static HTML — the result
+in `packages/demo/dist/` is a complete, ready-to-host static site.
+
+## Embedding BitLogin in your own static site
+
+```html
+<script type="module" src="/vendor/bitlogin/bitlogin.js"></script>
+<bitlogin-auth
+  vault-relays="wss://relay-one.example,wss://relay-two.example,wss://relay-three.example"
+  discovery-relays="wss://discovery-one.example,wss://discovery-two.example">
+</bitlogin-auth>
+```
+
+`bitlogin.js` and `cryptoWorker.js` (plus the shared chunk they both import)
+must be deployed side by side — the main script resolves the worker's URL at
+runtime relative to its own location, so this works from any path, not just
+the site root.
+
+Once a user signs in, `window.nostr` is installed with the de facto NIP-07
+shape (`getPublicKey`, `signEvent`, `getRelays`, `nip44.encrypt/decrypt`), so
+existing Nostr web apps work against it unmodified. Private keys never leave
+the worker; the main thread only ever sees public keys, signed events, and
+ciphertext. See `packages/demo/public/docs.html` for the full integration
+guide, and `packages/demo/public/account.html` for a working example
+(create → confirm recovery phrase → sign an event → rotate password →
+export identity).
+
+## What's implemented
+
+This build covers the protocol's Phase 0 (cryptographic core + test vectors)
+and the load-bearing parts of Phase 1 (account MVP), verified two ways:
+
+- **Protocol-level tests** (`npm test`, 49 tests): Argon2id/ScalarExpand/JCS/
+  padding/timestamp unit tests with the spec's exact byte layouts (§11), and
+  full end-to-end scenarios — create → clean-device login, phrase recovery →
+  new credentials → clean-device login, password change with mandatory
+  tombstone + NIP-09 deletion, relay-loss → replica repair (including
+  keyless recovery-event rebroadcast), rollback-warning and
+  relay-disagreement detection — run against an in-memory mock relay
+  (`packages/core/src/test-support/mockRelay.ts`), since this sandbox has no
+  route to public Nostr relays.
+- **Real-browser verification**: the same flows were driven end-to-end in
+  actual Chromium against the built widget, confirming the crypto worker,
+  IndexedDB storage, and `window.nostr` provider work together outside the
+  test harness.
+
+Implemented: registration (§15), any-device password login with rollback and
+relay-disagreement detection (§16), phrase recovery with recovery-capsule
+refresh (§17), known-password change with mandatory tombstone + NIP-09
+deletion (§18), replica repair (§24.4), recovery export (§19.5), NIP-19
+nsec/npub encoding, a NIP-44 v2 implementation for the `window.nostr.nip44`
+surface, bootstrap/discovery relay list plumbing (§19), and the full
+crypto stack from §11 (Argon2id, HKDF, ScalarExpand, AES-256-GCM, JCS,
+fixed padding buckets).
+
+**Deferred / not in this pass:**
+- Phase 2 messaging (NIP-17 inbox/compose) — the NIP-44 primitive is built
+  and tested, but no conversation UI is wired up.
+- Phase 3 application redirect-auth flow (§26.3) and NIP-46/NIP-07 browser
+  extension interop beyond the `window.nostr` shim.
+- NIP-49 `ncryptsec` export (§28.2) — deliberately left out rather than
+  shipped unverified against official test vectors; plain `nsec`/`npub`
+  (NIP-19) export is implemented instead.
+- The maintainer-signed bootstrap relay-list channel (§19.1) has the
+  verify/merge logic implemented but ships with a placeholder maintainer
+  public key — a real deployment needs to swap in a real one.
+- Native clients, hardware-backed recovery, independent second
+  implementation, and formal security audit (Phase 4).
+
+## Development notes
+
+- Crypto primitives use audited libraries: `@noble/curves` (secp256k1
+  Schnorr), `@noble/hashes` (SHA-256, HKDF, HMAC), `@noble/ciphers`
+  (ChaCha20 for NIP-44), `@scure/bip39` (BIP-39), native WebCrypto
+  (AES-256-GCM), and `hash-wasm` (Argon2id).
+- The Argon2id profile (`bitlogin-argon2id-v1`) uses parallelism 1 rather
+  than RFC 9106's recommended 4, for reasons documented in
+  `packages/core/src/crypto/argon2id.ts` (§11.2 of the spec).
+- Passphrases are generated from the EFF long Diceware wordlist
+  (`diceware-wordlist-en-eff`), matching the spec's ~12.9-bits/word,
+  six-word/~77-bit default (§9.2).

+  <p class="section-sub">Every design choice traces back to one constraint: it has to work with nothing but static files and public relays.</p>
+  <div class="grid">
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>Static-first</h3>
+      <p>The whole client — crypto, UI, worker — ships as files. Host it anywhere: Pages, IPFS, a folder on a CDN. No backend to run or pay for.</p>
+    </div>
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>Relay-redundant storage</h3>
+      <p>Encrypted capsules are published to multiple Nostr relays with quorum reads and readback verification, so no single relay is a single point of failure.</p>
+    </div>
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>Generated credentials only</h3>
+      <p>A downloadable encrypted capsule can be attacked offline forever. So BitLogin generates a high-entropy passphrase for you — no "password123", ever.</p>
+    </div>
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>Argon2id + AES-256-GCM</h3>
+      <p>Memory-hard key derivation, authenticated encryption, canonical JSON serialization, and fixed padding buckets so ciphertext size doesn't leak contents.</p>
+    </div>
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>Rollback-resistant</h3>
+      <p>A local generation high-water mark and monotonic timestamps mean a stale or malicious relay can't quietly roll a logged-in device back to an older capsule.</p>
+    </div>
+    <div class="feature">
+      <h3>NIP-07-compatible signing</h3>
+      <p>Once unlocked, BitLogin exposes a <code>window.nostr</code> provider — the same shape browser extensions use. Existing Nostr apps work with zero code changes.</p>
+    </div>
+  </div>
