Split pay into ladder/lib_pay.sh; force-select extract in
ladder/extract_rpubs.py. check_goa_ladder.sh is only a compat shim.
max-ladder now hunts highest withdrawable and highest payable
(never above wallet available), using public free-amount template
goa-free on hacktivism. Classic remains default 23-rung wd+pay.
Pay phase always runs when LADDER_PAY=1 (visible SKIP_BALANCE when
no spendable coins). Report includes best_pay / alt names.
Wallet accept/tx dumps mix log lines with JSON; json.loads from the
first brace always failed, and regex only scanned accept (no reservePub).
Parse with JSONDecoder.raw_decode, scrape both files, score by WID/amount.
Prefer Homebrew python for taler-helper-sqlite3; find_wallet_cli prefers
ts-core 1.6.x. Soft-skip max-1 mint 5110/P0001 as ceiling.
Verified on live GOA: mid rungs force-select HTTP 200 + confirm 204 → OK_BANK.
