Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong vendor backing and a coherent VC-mandate model that aligns with our hybrid-signature/idempotency stance, but it is pre-production (v0.2 samples), governance just moved to FIDO, and the liability gap is a hard blocker for any real money path.
Next
Keep AP2 mandate model as the design reference for the protocol-agnostic mandate DB (Rule #12), prototype Intent/Cart/Payment mandates in shadow only; do NOT wire to live commission/checkout until liability + SCA + PCI reconciliation paths exist.
