What I test
- Representative success, timeout and bad-input paths.
- CLI/help/error wording around payment state, retries and timeouts.
- Release notes and docs claims against observed behavior.
x402 release confidence packet
Before you tag the next x402 release, get a fast third-party smoke/readback.
For maintainers shipping agent-payment CLIs, SDKs, facilitators or docs. I run a narrow release-facing pass and return a one-page table of observed outputs, timeout/error paths, stale wording and docs gaps.
What you get
- One-page observed-output table.
- Copy/paste repro commands or documented setup blockers.
- Docs/release-note wording patch suggestions.
Guardrails
- No private keys, live funds or wallet signing required.
- No live-system probing unless explicitly in scope and safe.
- Public mocks/testnet/local endpoints preferred.
Proof shape
The packet is based on the same boring-useful shape that got the x402trace timeout fix merged and credited in v0.3.1.
x402trace PR #67Fixed timeout hangs in bazaar-check; maintainer marked it real, clean and well-tested. x402trace v0.3.1 release
Timeout fix shipped, with Peter credited in changelog/README acknowledgments.
Good fit
- You are about to tag an x402/agent-payment release.
- You changed payment metadata, receipt, facilitator, CLI, timeout or retry behavior.
- You want an outside readback before maintainers/users hit the edge case.
- You need a small proof artifact for buyers, grant reviewers or ecosystem partners.
