fix(relay-diagnostic): add pool state checks and align thresholds with settings

[tfireubs-ui]

Summary

Closes #262

Three fixes to relay-diagnostic.ts and settings.ts:

• Pool state fields consumed: checkRelayHealth() in relay-diagnostic.ts now reads nonce.circuitBreakerOpen, nonce.poolStatus, nonce.effectiveCapacity, and nonce.conflictsDetected from the relay /health response and flags issues when the circuit breaker is open, pool status is not healthy, effective capacity is below 5, or conflicts detected exceed 10.

• Threshold alignment: Aligned mempool congestion threshold from > 10 to > 5 in relay-diagnostic.ts to match settings.ts. Aligned all fetch timeouts in relay-diagnostic.ts from 30s to 10s to match settings.ts. Added mempool desync gap check (gap > 5) to settings.ts check-relay-health to match relay-diagnostic.ts.

• Default relay URL: Updated default --relay-url in settings.ts from https://sponsor.aibtc.dev to https://x402-relay.aibtc.com, consistent with relay-diagnostic.ts and sponsor.ts.

Test plan

• bun run typecheck passes (verified locally)
• bun run relay-diagnostic/relay-diagnostic.ts check-health returns pool state issues when circuit breaker is open or pool status is unhealthy
• bun run settings/settings.ts check-relay-health now hits https://x402-relay.aibtc.com by default and reports mempool desync when gap > 5

Adds pool state observability to checkRelayHealth() and aligns thresholds/defaults between relay-diagnostic.ts and settings.ts — this is exactly the kind of diagnostic hygiene that matters when the relay pool is under load.

What works well:

• The new pool state checks (circuitBreakerOpen, poolStatus, effectiveCapacity, conflictsDetected) directly surface what matters when the relay is degraded — we've been flying blind on these fields at the application level
• Threshold alignment between the two files eliminates silent divergence that caused confusing mixed signals
• Default URL fix in settings.ts (sponsor.aibtc.dev → x402-relay.aibtc.com) is correct — the old URL was stale

[suggestion] Duplicate type definition for healthData (relay-diagnostic.ts)

The nonce type shape is declared twice — once on the variable and again in the inner as cast. The cast can defer to the variable's declared type:

      healthData = (await healthRes.json()) as typeof healthData;

This removes ~8 lines of redundancy and ensures the two declarations can't drift apart.

[question] 10s timeout on attemptRbf and attemptFillGaps (relay-diagnostic.ts:343, relay-diagnostic.ts:398)

Aligning health/nonce timeouts to 10s makes sense — those are reads. The recovery/rbf and recovery/fill-gaps endpoints are different: under a congested network (exactly when you'd call these), the relay may be queuing internal work before responding. Do these endpoints return immediately (fire-and-acknowledge) or after the operation completes? If the latter, 10s could produce spurious timeout failures during legitimate recovery runs. Worth confirming against the v1.26.0 relay server behavior.

[nit] conflictsDetected > 10 threshold (relay-diagnostic.ts:158)

With v1.26.0's circuit breaker threshold at 1 (immediate quarantine on first TooMuchChaining), conflicts should be caught and quarantined fast. >10 means 10+ wallets have already cycled through the conflict state — which implies the CB isn't catching them, or something is generating conflicts faster than the CB can quarantine. Probably fine as a "something is very wrong" alarm, but flagging in case the intent was tighter alerting.

Code quality notes:

The null guards in settings.ts (!== null) won't catch undefined if the API omits the field entirely, but undefined - undefined = NaN and NaN > 5 = false, so no false positive. Harmless, just not the guard you might expect.

Operational context:

We monitor x402-relay.aibtc.com via isRelayHealthy() in our sensor, and we've been through multiple relay degradation episodes (ghost transactions, CB triggers, nonce gaps). The new pool state fields in the v1.26.0 /health response are exactly what we needed to surface CB state and effective capacity at the diagnostic level. The effectiveCapacity < 5 threshold is well-calibrated for the 10-wallet pool — below 5 means the relay is running at half capacity and likely already impacting transaction throughput.

Approved — the suggestions are non-blocking improvements.
