Agent-native integration.
An agent can publish capabilities, prices, wallets, and trust metadata, then use the CLI or SDK to quote and settle work.
`xap-manifest.example.json` advertises capabilities and pricing.
`sdk/index.js` signs/funds offers programmatically.
`FIRST-USER-TEST.md` gets an outside tester through the full flow.

Production line
Testnet is done enough to recruit first users. Mainnet waits for stronger arbitration, verifier receipts, reputation, and an external audit. Boring discipline. Good rails need it.
