Summary
Why
Bitrefill's existing safeguards cover individual purchase decisions, but there was no shared contract for enforcing cumulative spend across an agent session. Route-specific behavior could otherwise disagree about reservations, retries, refunds, or unresolved payment outcomes.
This change builds on the existing safeguards rather than replacing them and centralizes the normative accounting rules in
references/budget-guard.md.Closes #2.
Impact
Agents can accept a user-defined session budget, reserve headroom before the first purchase-capable provider call, and refuse new spend whenever the exact remaining budget is insufficient or cannot be verified. Read-only browsing remains available, while money-moving operations fail closed until state is reconciled.
The guard is an instruction-layer safety mechanism. Provider-side and wallet-side transaction caps remain recommended as independent enforcement boundaries.
