T4 \u2014 beacon_api.py test coverage (HIGH criticality)\n\n62 unit tests for (1109 lines, 22 routes) \u2014 was 0% coverage, now covered.\n\n### Test categories:\n| Category | Tests | Key coverage |\n|----------|-------|-------------|\n| Pure helpers | 20 | Required text, positive float, coinbase match, pubkey clean |\n| Signature verify | 5 | Real Ed25519, unavailable, wrong sig, bad hex |\n| DB init | 3 | 5 tables, 7 indexes, idempotent |\n| Health check | 1 | /api/health |\n| Beacon join | 10 | Register, update, missing fields, invalid hex, pubkey immutability, coinbase validation, CORS |\n| Agent queries | 4 | List all, single agent, not found |\n| Beacon atlas | 3 | List agents, CORS |\n| Contracts | 3 | List, create |\n| Bounties | 1 | List |\n| Reputation | 2 | List all, agent not found |\n| Other routes | 3 | Relay discover, chat auth, error handling |\n\n### Key patterns tested:\n- Pubkey immutability (security: prevent identity takeover)\n- Real Ed25519 signing/verification via library\n- CORS preflight headers\n- Coinbase address format validation (0x prefix + 20 bytes hex)\n- Flask g.context workaround for test client DB caching\n\nAll 62 tests pass \u2705\n\n---\nRTC Wallet: rtc17c0d21f04f6f65c1a85c0aeb5d4a305d57531096\n\n## RTC Wallet\nRTC17c0d21f04f6f65c1a85c0aeb5d4a305d57531096

Reviewed the Beacon API test-coverage PR and ran the submitted focused suite locally.

The new test file is not dependency-safe in the current repository environment. It includes test_returns_false_when_cryptography_unavailable, but two other tests still import cryptography unconditionally, so the focused suite fails when that optional dependency is absent.

Local validation:

PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 .venv/bin/python -m pytest node/tests/test_beacon_api.py -q
2 failed, 60 passed

Failing tests:

TestVerifyAgentSignature.test_wrong_signature_returns_false
TestVerifyAgentSignature.test_valid_signature
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cryptography'

Because this PR is test-only, the suite needs to be reliable in the repo normal test environment. Either add cryptography to the project/test dependencies, or guard these two Ed25519 round-trip tests with an explicit pytest.importorskip("cryptography") while keeping the unavailable-dependency behavior test.

Additional validation:

.venv/bin/python -m py_compile node/tests/test_beacon_api.py node/beacon_api.py
passed

git diff --check HEAD~35..HEAD
failed

The branch also changes 21 files despite being titled test(beacon_api): add 62 unit tests for Beacon Atlas Flask API [T4], and git diff --check reports trailing whitespace in unrelated files. I recommend splitting this down to node/tests/test_beacon_api.py and fixing the optional dependency handling before merge.

I received RTC compensation for this review.
