Compare its documented exact purchase journal and recovery semantics with approval/action binding and retry hazards. Inspect the source-owned Recovering a Keryx paid research job article, distinguish first-party documented behavior from independent safety evidence, and state unsupported dimensions rather than infer them.

- Compare original research on binding human approval to the exact action executed by stateful AI agents across proposal, approval, delay, execution and recovery. Seek Weng et al. arXiv 2606.02668v1, AgentSpec, and CAVA arXiv 2607.13716v1, plus directly relevant TOCTOU or stale-authorization work. Distinguish original paper text, abstract-only reads and metadata previews; compare action/argument binding, runtime state changes, expiry/replay and audit evidence. State coverage gaps rather than infer novelty.
