From 1a837495ccca95433492cebe20968983389022cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcel Rebro Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:41:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs: single-source agentic payments eligibility criteria The eligibility list was duplicated verbatim on three pages and was missing two criteria, so developers hit ineligibility unexpectedly. - Add the KYC requirement. Without identity verification, none of a developer's Actors are eligible, regardless of pricing model. - Drop the stale "Standby support is coming later" sentence. - Replace the three copies of the list with a shared partial, so the next change to the criteria only has to be made once.
