What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Proceed with caution

Why
Spec + SDK are live and openly documented (tier-3 primary), and the 402/JWE card-charge flow is concrete and testable, but the only working Visa-grade client is an experimental, geo-locked, low-limit beta and broader agentic-payment demand is unproven across both card and open rails — strong enough to spike, not to commit a checkout path to.
Next
Prototype against the public mpp-card npm SDK and the 402-Challenge/JWE card flow in a sandbox; map MPP card-charge intent onto the existing protocol-abstraction layer (Rule #4) without coupling to the Visa CLI beta or its low default limits.
