# Mock Pay

Run the deterministic local payment graph.

The graph turns a payment-required signal into a quote, selects and reserves a

payment decision, routes approval when required, fulfills the mock rail under

attenuated authority, and leaves recovery evidence if the rail result is

ambiguous.

This is the settlement-pinned mock marquee. It exists for local harnesses,

demos, and contract tests. It does not claim live provider behavior or accept

raw funding material.

## Quality Profile

- Purpose: execute a paid action through runx authority without hiding the

payment governance path.

- Audience: agent hosts, operators, approval reviewers, and receipt verifiers.

- Artifact contract: `payment_execution`, `payment_quote_packet`,

- `payment_reservation_packet`, `payment_rail_packet`, and `recovery_packet`

+ `payment_reservation_packet`, `effect_evidence_packet`, and `recovery_packet`

when needed.

- Evidence bar: every successful execution carries a quote, selected decision,

reserved child authority, idempotency key, rail proof ref, and receipt seal

requirement.

- Voice bar: operator-grade execution record; avoid wallet/product marketing.

- Strategic bar: keep rails pluggable while core owns payment authority.

- Stop conditions: stop before rail execution when quote, approval, parent

authority, reservation, idempotency, or spend capability is missing.

## Output

- `payment_execution`: overall status and receipt/proof refs.

- `payment_quote_packet`: normalized quote output.

- `payment_reservation_packet`: selected reservation decision and child

authority term.

- - `payment_rail_packet`: rail proof and credential envelope.

+ - `effect_evidence_packet`: rail proof and credential envelope.

- `recovery_packet`: recovery assessment when a rail result is ambiguous.

## Inputs

- `payment_signal` (required): payment-required signal or challenge.

- `parent_payment_authority` (required): parent payment authority term or ref.

- `rail_profile_ref` (required): configured rail profile reference.

- `realm` (optional): authority realm.

- `spend_policy` (optional): policy limits and approval thresholds.

- `approval_context` (optional): prior approval evidence.

- `idempotency_seed` (optional): stable idempotency material.
