feat(circle): require Circle CLI >= 1.1.1; init upgrades, doctor reports - #196

Conversation
ensureCircle() was a no-op whenever `circle` was on PATH, so an existing
1.0.0 install (which only knows ARC-TESTNET) would never move and would
trip the skill's Arc deposit gate forever. It now decides install /
upgrade / ok from MIN_CIRCLE_CLI_VERSION ("1.1.1") and runs
`npm install -g @circle-fin/cli@latest` when below it. `selat init`
checks the version even when the binary is present; `selat doctor` prints
the installed version and fails below the floor with the upgrade command.
circleVersion() / versionAtLeast() / circleInstallPlan() are exported and
the decision logic is unit-tested. The init fixture's fake `circle` now
answers --version (a shim that can't is treated as needing reinstall).
README: floor stated; arc listed among fundable chains (direct only).
Tests: 579/579.

The first run of this branch's suite ran a real `npm install -g @circle-fin/cli@latest` on the host: the init fixture's fake `circle` didn't answer --version, the new floor logic classified it as "upgrade", and ensureCircle did what it says. A test must not be able to mutate the developer's global npm tree. ensureCircle now refuses installs when NODE_TEST_CONTEXT (set by node --test, inherited by spawned children) or SELAT_NO_INSTALL=1 is in the environment, and the init fixture additionally shadows `npm` with a script that exits 97. Verified by breaking the fixture's --version answer: the test fails on the refusal and no npm log is written. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every test that spawns bin/selat.mjs inherited the host PATH, so any subprocess a fixture didn't cover fell through to the real binary. New test/helpers/closed-env.mjs builds PATH from the test's fixture dirs plus one private tools dir holding symlinks to exactly node, sh, bash and env — nothing else resolves, not npm, not the real circle. (Including node's own bin dir would not have closed anything: on nvm installs it holds the whole global tree.) closedEnv() also sets SELAT_NO_INSTALL=1. All eight spawning test files switched. That exposed a dependency in lib/sh.mjs: hasBin() shelled out to `command -v` / `which`, which are themselves PATH lookups — under a restricted PATH they vanish and every binary reads as missing. hasBin now walks PATH directly (statSync + X_OK), no subprocess, which is also cheaper on the `selat run` hot path. Windows keeps `where`. Tests: 579/579. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A global npm install is a host change. `selat init` used to do it unprompted whenever `circle` was missing (and, since this branch, when it was below the floor). Now: in a terminal it asks (default yes); with no TTY it refuses and prints the command, unless --install-circle-cli is passed as explicit consent. An up-to-date CLI is never touched. test/init-circle-consent.test.mjs covers all four branches under the closed PATH: refuse-missing, refuse-old, consent reaches ensureCircle (where the test-context guard stops it — layers 1 and 2 both visible), and up-to-date untouched. Tests: 583/583. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… flag)
Reverts the consent gate: `selat init` installs @circle-fin/cli@latest
when the Circle CLI is missing and upgrades it when below
MIN_CIRCLE_CLI_VERSION, automatically, as it always installed when
missing. --install-circle-cli is gone. init now states which case it hit
("not found — installing" / "1.0.0 is below the 1.1.1 floor — upgrading").
The protections stay: ensureCircle refuses under NODE_TEST_CONTEXT /
SELAT_NO_INSTALL, and spawning tests run under the closed PATH.
test/init-circle-autoinstall.test.mjs pins missing → install attempted,
old → upgrade attempted, current → untouched, with the guard (not npm)
stopping the attempt every time.
Tests: 582/582.

1.1.1 is the first Circle CLI that lists Arc mainnet; selat-discovery 0.26.0's Arc deposit path assumes it. Without this, every existing install stays on 1.0.0 forever. Companion: SELAT-AI/selat-discovery#174.
