19 — DOC: Cryptography dependency + test environment note

What to build

Document and verify test/dev environment setup for wallet crypto paths. packages/node/meshnet_node/wallet.py uses cryptography; failures occur when .venv lacks deps. cryptography>=41 is already declared in packages/node/pyproject.toml, so this issue should focus on documenting the editable-install path and only add root/dev extras if tests still import the node wallet without installing the node package.

Code refs:

• packages/node/pyproject.toml — cryptography>=41 (verify declared)
• packages/node/meshnet_node/wallet.py
• Handoff: tests fail without cryptography, openai, langchain in .venv

Acceptance criteria

• Confirm cryptography>=41 remains in node package deps; add to root/dev extras only if tests import wallet without node install
• Add short Test environment section to docs/dev/test-env.md (or CONTRIBUTING.md if created): use .venv/Scripts/python.exe, pip install -e packages/node ..., optional dep skips
• Note which tests require optional deps (--ignore=test_openai_gateway,...)
• No unrelated production code changes
