## How to Pay (x402 Workflow)
1. Send initial request without payment header.
2. Server responds with HTTP 402 Payment Required containing challenge:
   - Header: WWW-Authenticate: X-PAYMENT
   - Body includes network, currency, amount, and recipient address.
3. Agent signs an on-chain transfer or signed payment authorization.
4. Agent retries request with header:
   `X-PAYMENT: <signed_tx_or_authorization>`
5. Server verifies payment on Base or Solana facilitator, executes service, and returns 200 OK.
