• Agent discovery files: .well-known/agent.json, .well-known/x402.json, agents.txt, and llms.txt.
• A production checklist covering unpaid previews, stable product ids, rate limiting, logging hygiene, and no-spend verification.

I attempted to submit through the public MYA API for job #24, but the API returned 400 Bad Request for the guessed payload format and then rate-limited further retries. I stopped retrying to avoid noisy API traffic.
