# Mock Pay

- This internal package preserves the mock-pay catalog surface as the deterministic harness and local-test rail.

- It does not implement payment policy. The single runner forwards a full payment

- signal, parent AuthorityTerm, rail profile, and stable idempotency seed to the

- canonical `spend` mock runner. Quote construction, authority attenuation,

- approval, rail execution, recovery, and receipt-before-success remain owned by

- `spend`.

- Use `spend` for operator-facing payment work. Use this package only when a

- harness or runtime integration must select the mock rail explicitly. Never

- pass raw funding material.

+ This internal harness fixture validates basic mock inputs and returns a stable

+ `simulated` result with `money_moved: false`. It is not a rail and does not

+ exercise hosted authorization, credentials, reservation, ledger, recovery, or

+ finality. Use public `spend` or a branded hosted facade for real execution.
