No supported answer: no source passed the relevance and evidence checks within this run's limits. Selected public originals could not supply usable text: x402 and Agentic Commerce: Redefining Autonomous Payments in Financial Services | AWS for Industries (article-byte-limit); Five Attacks on x402 Agentic Payment Protocol (article-byte-limit); Hardening x402: PII-Safe Agentic Paymentsvia Pre-Execution Metadata Filtering (html-extraction-unavailable). Inspect the recorded PDF/fallback failures; try one exact versioned arXiv target or a supported original URL. A larger source budget does not resolve a free-source attention gate or extraction limit. Metadata previews are not read evidence. This does not establish that no relevant evidence exists.
