Add routing/WG/ctl actuators + wire into main.lua

Three new modules complete the OpenWrt 22.03 / Lua 5.1 port:

  * routing.lua  — iproute2 actuator (apply_default / switch_to /
                   verify); pure command builders + injectable exec.
  * wg.lua       — WireGuard endpoint re-point + handshake check;
                   same pure/injectable split as routing.
  * ctl.lua      — balancerlite-ctl logic (status/events/switch/
                   compact/verify); file-based IPC with the daemon
                   via status.json + control.json.

Plus three real-bug fixes that end-to-end boot caught:

  * json.lua    — \0 in gsub patterns is zero-width in Lua 5.1, so
                  every string character was getting \u0000 emitted.
                  Replaced with string.find(..., true) + manual
                  rebuild.
  * config.lua  — 'X and get_opt(...) or default' silently coerced
                  false back to true (bool option default was the
                  value returned, not the configured value). Added
                  explicit opt() helper.
  * probes.lua /
    store.lua   — new() was local, not exposed on the module table.
                  main.lua boot crashed silently.

Wired all three new modules into main.lua:

  * routing.apply_default() on boot
  * routing.switch_to() + wg.set_endpoint() on failover events
  * status.json written every cycle
  * control.json polled every cycle (switch/compact/verify)

Tests: 137/137 PASS (state 8, sha256 3, routing 32, wg 35, ctl 42,
smoke 17). End-to-end dry-run smoke verifies boot + status write +
ctl round-trip.

+## 2026-09-04 Routing/WG/CTL + integration
+
+### What
+Completed the OpenWrt 22.03 Lua 5.1 prototype by adding the three
+remaining subsystems (policy routing, WireGuard endpoint re-point,
+balancerlite-ctl CLI) and wiring them into the daemon. Plus fixes for
+three real bugs found while wiring: (1) `probes.lua`/`store.lua`
+didn't expose `new` to their return tables, (2) `json.lua`'s
+`gsub('\0', ...)` was a Lua 5.1 zero-width pattern bug — every
+character was getting `\u0000` injected; replaced with `string.find`
+plain-mode + manual rebuild, (3) `config.lua`'s `s and get_opt(...)
+or default` idiom silently coerced `false` values back to `true`
+when the option was a bool — replaced with explicit `opt()` helper.
+
+### Files added/changed
+- `src/balancerlite/routing.lua` (199 LOC) — iproute2 actuator:
+  `apply_default` (boot), `switch_to(wan)` (failover), `verify(wan)`
+  (self-check). Pure helpers for command building + injectable
+  `exec(cmd)->rc` for tests without root.
+- `src/balancerlite/wg.lua` (185 LOC) — WireGuard actuator:
+  `set_endpoint(wan)` (`wg set ... endpoint ...` + `wg syncconf`),
+  `check_handshake(max_age)` for staleness detection, `prewarm()`
+  for standby path. Same pure/injectable split.
+- `src/balancerlite/ctl.lua` (235 LOC) — CLI logic: status, events,
+  switch, compact, verify. Pure request builders + file-IPC for
+  status.json/control.json round trip.
+- `src/balancerlite/ctl_main.lua` — shell entry point with `--`
+  separator handling.
+- `bin/balancerlite` + `bin/balancerlite-ctl` — POSIX shell
+  wrappers for `/usr/bin/`.
+- `tests/routing.lua` (32 tests), `tests/wg.lua` (35 tests),
+  `tests/ctl.lua` (42 tests), `tests/smoke.lua` (17 tests).
+- `src/balancerlite/json.lua` — fixed `\0` zero-width gsub bug.
+- `src/balancerlite/config.lua` — added `opt()` helper, removed
+  `X and Y or Z` falsy-coercion footgun.
+- `src/balancerlite/probes.lua` + `store.lua` — exposed `new` in
+  return tables.
+- `src/balancerlite/main.lua` — wired routing/wg/ctl, status.json
+  writer, control.json poller; moved `log` helper before subsystems.
+- `etc/config/balancerlite.example` — UCI example.
+- `Makefile` — fixed `lua5.1 -p` → `luac5.1 -p` (separate binary),
+  rewrote lint rule with perl-based comment stripping + per-line
+  feature scan, added `unit` target.
+
+### Test Results
+```
+make lint    → OK (parse + forbidden-feature scan both clean)
+make unit    → 137/137 PASS
+  state      → 8/8
+  sha256     → 3/3
+  routing    → 32/32
+  wg         → 35/35
+  ctl        → 42/42
+  smoke      → 17/17
+
+end-to-end smoke (lua5.1 main.lua --dry-run):
+  - boots clean, config loads, routing.apply_default prints dry-run cmds
+  - status.json written: {"daemon":true,"state":"INIT","cycles":0,...}
+  - balancerlite-ctl status/events/switch/compact/verify all functional
+  - bad switch target (wan-z) correctly rejected
+```
+
+### Verify commands
+```sh
+cd /root/.openclaw/workspace/balancer-lite-lua
+make lint                          # parse + 5.2+/5.3+/5.4 forbidden-feature scan
+make unit                          # all unit + smoke tests
+lua5.1 src/balancerlite/main.lua \
+  --config etc/config/balancerlite.example --dry-run   # daemon smoke
+lua5.1 src/balancerlite/ctl_main.lua \
+  --state-dir /root/balancerlite -- status             # CLI smoke
+```
+
+### Notes
+- Three bug categories caught while wiring (the wiring *is* the test
+  surface for these): (1) Lua patterns treating `\0` as zero-width
+  match (silent corruption of every JSON string field); (2) Lua's
+  `X and Y or Z` short-circuit treating `false` as missing
+  (silently flipping disabled bool options back to enabled default);
+  (3) modules exporting functions only as locals so callers couldn't
+  see them via the require'd module table. All three are *easy to
+  write but hard to spot* — caught here by end-to-end boot attempts,
+  not by per-module unit tests. Worth flagging as recurring footguns.
+- Routing/wg actuator design: separate *pure* (command builders,
+  regex parsers, validators) from *effectful* (io.popen + rc-capture)
+  via an injectable `exec` hook. Lets tests assert on the command
+  list without requiring root or iproute2.
+- ctl <-> daemon IPC is file-based (`control.json` request, daemon
+  polls each cycle, `status.json` written each cycle) to avoid Lua
+  socket dependencies on OpenWrt's stripped-down Lua 5.1.
+
+### Open loops
+- Real (non-dry-run) end-to-end test on `openwrt-testbed` (19.07.7
+  x86_64 container, would need real `ip` + `wg` + `ip rule` to
+  exercise the actuators fully).
+- Optional: procd SIGHUP hot-reload (config.lua has the fields but
+  the daemon doesn't yet respond to SIGHUP).
+- Optional: signed-webhook outbox tests (currently only state is
+  shipped; tests for HMAC envelope + retry queue were left as a
+  follow-up since the pure outbox logic is exercised by the daemon
+  already).

+  that the daemon picks up on its next cycle.
+
+  Commands:
+    balancerlite-ctl status            — daemon alive? current state
+    balancerlite-ctl events [n]        — last n events (default 20)
+    balancerlite-ctl switch wan-a|wan-b— request manual failover
+    balancerlite-ctl compact [days]    — request store compaction
+    balancerlite-ctl verify            — request routing self-check
+
+  Lua 5.1 compatible. Pure helpers (request building, status parsing,
