Refactor monetization to controller-based reconciliation + autoresearch

[bussyjd]

Summary

This PR significantly refactors the monetization system to move ServiceOffer reconciliation from a Python CLI script into a dedicated Kubernetes controller, while adding comprehensive autoresearch capabilities (coordinator, worker, publisher). The changes establish a cleaner separation of concerns: the controller handles all CRD state management and ERC-8004 registration side effects, while the Python CLI becomes a thin helper for CRUD operations and catalog publishing.

Key Changes

Monetization Architecture Refactor

• ServiceOffer Controller (cmd/serviceoffer-controller/main.go, internal/serviceoffercontroller/): New Kubernetes controller that owns ServiceOffer reconciliation, child resource management, and ERC-8004 registration side effects
• Simplified monetize.py: Reduced from 400+ lines of reconciliation logic to ~200 lines of CRUD helpers; controller now handles staged pipeline (ModelReady → UpstreamHealthy → PaymentGateReady → RoutePublished → Registered → Ready)
• New RegistrationRequest CRD (internal/embed/infrastructure/base/templates/registrationrequest-crd.yaml): Isolates ERC-8004 publication from ServiceOffer, enabling cleaner async side-effect handling
• x402 source abstraction (internal/x402/source.go, internal/x402/serviceoffer_source.go): Decouples pricing configuration from ServiceOffer CRD, supporting both static and dynamic pricing models

Autoresearch System (New)

• Coordinator (internal/embed/skills/autoresearch-coordinator/scripts/coordinate.py): Discovers GPU workers via ERC-8004/8004scan API, probes x402 pricing, submits experiments with micropayments, replaces Ensue-based shared-memory model
• Worker API (internal/embed/skills/autoresearch-worker/scripts/worker_api.py): Minimal HTTP service for running submitted train.py experiments, storing results, exposing x402-gatable endpoints
• Publisher (internal/embed/skills/autoresearch/scripts/publish.py): Publishes best autoresearch results to Ollama and optionally sells via x402
• Skills & Documentation: New SKILL.md files for autoresearch, autoresearch-coordinator, autoresearch-worker, and monetize-guide with end-to-end guides

CLI Enhancements

• obol sell probe (cmd/obol/sell.go): New subcommand to check x402 pricing for a worker endpoint
• obol sell http improvements: Better integration with ServiceOffer controller lifecycle
• Flow scripts (flows/flow-*.sh): Comprehensive test flows covering stack init, inference, agent setup, selling, buying, and lifecycle management

Infrastructure & Testing

• Dockerfiles: New containers for serviceoffer-controller, autoresearch-worker, and reth-erc8004-indexer
• Anvil + Facilitator flow (flows/flow-10-anvil-facilitator.sh): Local test infrastructure for paid flows
• golangci.yml: Linter configuration with sensible defaults for the project
• Test utilities: Enhanced facilitator and anvil test helpers for payment flow testing
• Import validation (internal/openclaw/import.go): Better model API key environment handling

Code Quality

• Consistent error handling: Added explicit errors imports across packages
• Type modernization: Changed map[string]interface{} to map[string]any for Go 1.18+ compatibility
• Import organization: Alphabetical sorting and grouping improvements
• Validation layer: New internal/network/validate.go for install option validation

Notable Implementation Details

1. Controller-driven reconciliation: ServiceOffer conditions now managed by controller watching CRD state, eliminating polling from Python script
2. ERC-8004 integration: RegistrationRequest CRD enables async on-chain registration without blocking ServiceOffer readiness
3. Decentralized discovery: Autoresearch coordinator uses 8004scan API instead of shared memory, enabling true peer-to-peer worker discovery
4. **x402 microp
