Methodology: https://tools.tx402.io/methodology?v=v1

## TEST WITH TX402

Nothing below sends a key anywhere. tx402 commits policy and budget before the signer is reachable,
so a refusal is a payment that was never authorized.

```bash
npx tx402 call "https://news.lonestaroracle.xyz/news" \
  --max-spend "0.050000 USDC" \
  --network "eip155:8453" \
  --dry-run

# --dry-run stops after the policy decision. Nothing is signed and nothing is spent.
```

```ts
import { createTx402Client } from "tx402";
// Your signer stays in your process. tools.tx402.io never sees a key,
// never asks for one, and cannot build a payment.
import { signers } from "./signers.js";

const tx402 = createTx402Client({
  signers,
  policy: {
    maxPerRequest: "0.050000 USDC",
    allowedDomains: ["news.lonestaroracle.xyz"],
    allowedNetworks: ["eip155:8453"],
  },
});

// Policy and budget are committed before the signer is reachable, so a
// refusal here is a payment that was never authorized.
const response = await tx402.fetch("https://news.lonestaroracle.xyz/news");
```

```python
from tx402 import Tx402Client, Policy

# Your signer stays in your process. tools.tx402.io never sees a key,
# never asks for one, and cannot build a payment.
tx402 = Tx402Client(
    evm_signer=evm,
    policy=Policy(
        max_per_request="0.050000 USDC",
        allowed_domains=["news.lonestaroracle.xyz"],
        allowed_networks=["eip155:8453"],
    ),
)

# Policy and budget are committed before the signer is reachable, so a
# refusal here is a payment that was never authorized.
response = tx402.fetch("https://news.lonestaroracle.xyz/news")
```
