Subject: [PATCH] docs: correct README testing instructions for
 unit/integration split

The Testing section still told contributors to write a real mnemonic
to mnemonic.txt and run `npm test`, then claimed the result was full
agent-lifecycle coverage against Vector testnet. Since test:unit is
now the default `test` script (five wallet-free CBOR assertions), that
instruction produced a false green and silently skipped the coverage
it advertised. Document test:unit and test:integration separately and
drop the stale VECTOR_MNEMONIC env-var alternative, which setup.ts
never reads.

 ## Testing
 
 ```bash
-# Set the wallet mnemonic (file or env var)
-echo "your mnemonic words here" > mnemonic.txt
-# or: export VECTOR_MNEMONIC="your mnemonic words here"
-
-npm test
+npm run test:unit
 ```
 
-Tests cover the core tools end-to-end against Vector testnet, including the full agent lifecycle: register, discover, profile, update, transfer, message, and deregister.
+No wallet, no network — pure logic only (CBOR encode/decode assertions). This is what CI runs on every PR.

+```bash
+echo "your mnemonic words here" > mnemonic.txt

+Requires `mnemonic.txt` in the repo root containing a **funded Vector testnet** mnemonic. Covers the core tools end-to-end against Vector testnet, including the full agent lifecycle: register, discover, profile, update, transfer, message, and deregister. Never runs in CI.
