THE SAFETY INTERLOCK

Closed machines.
Not generic infrastructure.

01

No arbitrary code. Every cartridge has one job and fixed behavior.

02

No hidden forwarding. CATCH receives; it never calls a user-supplied destination.

03

No forever plan. Every purchase shows its fuse before payment.

04

No account recovery. Save the dispensed keys or link when it appears.

BUILD WITH HTTP 402

Prefer the API?

Use the public API reference or the agent purchase guide.
