+# Forge Express SDK — phase-one private pilot
+
+Observe configured routes and invite optional agent feedback through `forge_metadata`. Forge never verifies, settles, retries, or changes payments. The SDK does not automatically improve or personalize merchant outputs; feedback helps the merchant make those improvements.
+
+## Install and configure
+
+```bash
+npm install @clawcash/forge
+```
+
+On the Forge backend, configure `FORGE_SDK_ENCRYPTION_KEY` as a stable 32-byte hex secret (`openssl rand -hex 32`). It encrypts invitation-signing credentials at rest. Keep it backed up; changing it without re-encrypting stored credentials makes old invitations unreadable.
+
+Open the project's **Agents** page, choose an environment, and create credentials. Save `FORGE_API_KEY`, `FORGE_CREDENTIAL_ID`, and `FORGE_FEEDBACK_SIGNING_KEY` in the merchant's server environment. They are displayed only once. Use the resource ID from the integration example. Resource IDs belong to the existing project inventory.
+
+```js
+import express from "express";
+import { createForge } from "@clawcash/forge";
+
+const app = express();
+const forge = createForge({
+  apiKey: process.env.FORGE_API_KEY,
+  credentialId: process.env.FORGE_CREDENTIAL_ID,
+  feedbackSigningKey: process.env.FORGE_FEEDBACK_SIGNING_KEY,
+  projectId: process.env.FORGE_PROJECT_ID,
+  environment: "production",
+  routes: [{
+    method: "POST",
+    path: "/enrich/:id",
+    resourceId: process.env.FORGE_RESOURCE_ID,
+    feedback: true,
+  }],
+});
+
+// Observe before payment middleware, including its early rejections.
+app.use(forge.expressMiddleware());
+app.use(express.json());
+// Preserve your existing authentication, payment, parser, and error handling order.
+// In your EXISTING successful route, replace only the JSON response construction:
+// res.json(forge.withFeedback(req, result));
+```
+
+`expressMiddleware()` does not read or modify the request body. The helper is synchronous, makes no network calls, returns a new JSON object, and preserves existing business fields. An observation-only integration omits `feedback: true`, the signing credential, and the helper.
+
+### Automatic service verification
+
+On initialization, the SDK authenticates with Forge and loads the project's verification state. For an unverified project, it adds a temporary `X-Forge-Verification: forge_verify_…` response header on configured routes, including payment middleware's `402` responses. It also sets `Cache-Control: private, no-store` while the proof is present; downstream handlers and proxies must preserve these headers. No extra verification secret is required.
+
+Initialization runs in the background. To have the proof ready for the first request, use `await forge.ready()` before `app.listen()`. This waits for the initial status request, not for verification to finish; an unavailable collector does not prevent startup. Forge checks approximately every ten seconds until it observes the exact proof on a stored, active x402 resource at the project's public HTTPS origin. It uses the configured HTTP method, placeholder path parameters and an empty JSON object where needed, without payment or API authorization. Put Forge before authentication and payment middleware. Requests never follow redirects or access private networks, and the response body is discarded.
+
+After success, Forge persists completion and clears the proof. Each SDK instance removes it when its next status request confirms completion (normally within ten seconds), stops polling, and never adds it again for the same project scope. Restarts and credential rotation load that saved state without a proof. Already DNS-verified projects also permanently skip the SDK header. A change of project owner, workspace or service origin invalidates the evidence and requires a new initialization for that scope. The badge records control of a service resource at verification time; it does not establish legal ownership of the entire domain or continuously monitor ownership.
+
+Pending proofs expire after fifteen minutes and rotate automatically. Expired proofs are not attached during an outage; merchant traffic continues. `forge.diagnostics().verification` reports status without the proof. `await forge.refreshVerification()` requests an early check for diagnostics; `verification: false` disables this feature for local tests or integrations using another verification method. Do not use cached responses or handlers that override the proof headers for verification.
+
+Route matching supports literal segments, `:parameter`, and `{parameter}` segments; no wildcards or optional segments. Configure the full path, including a mounted router's prefix. Exported routes are templates; the collector uses the project's stored template rather than caller-supplied paths. Unmatched routes are not observed. Invalid resource mappings are rejected by ingestion and reflected in the dropped-event counter.
+
+### Response compatibility
+
+Call `withFeedback(req, payload)` only immediately before `res.json(...)` in a successful, unsigned, uncompressed JSON object handler. Enable feedback deliberately in your API's output schema; clients with strict response schemas must permit `forge_metadata`.
+
+The helper skips arrays, primitives, existing `forge_metadata` fields, sent responses, non-2xx statuses, and detectable signed/compressed/cacheable responses. It sets `Cache-Control: private, no-store` on opted-in responses to prevent a caller's token being shared through response caching. Do not use it on cached business responses, streaming routes, signed payloads, or handlers that subsequently replace the response. It never changes payment headers. Injection preparation does not establish agent visibility or feedback truth.
+
+Do not expose or forward the returned metadata to a different customer. The embedded bearer token permits a single optional feedback submission about this interaction. It is not a merchant credential.
+
+### Payment bridge
+
+After your existing payment code returns an authoritative result, optionally call:
+
+```js
+forge.recordPayment(req, {
+  stage: "settlement", // or "verification"
+  success: true,
+  network: "eip155:8453",
+  asset: "asset identifier from the payment result",
+  amount: "1000000", // atomic integer units, never floating point
+  reference: "authoritative payment reference",
+});
+```
+
+Only `stage`, `success`, `network`, `asset`, `amount`, and `reference` are exported. The bridge requires the observed Express request object. These records are retained for later payment analytics; phase one does not display revenue. Do not infer settlement from a 200 response or a payment header's presence. Automatic x402 hook adapters are phase two.
+
+## Feedback wire contract
+
+Every eligible pilot response receives `forge_metadata.version = 1`, `interaction_id`, and `feedback` with an optional invitation, questionnaire ID, all four questions, inline submission JSON Schema, HTTPS submit URL, token and expiry. New invitations use `result_feedback_v2`:
+
+| Field | Prompt | Validation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `task_summary` | What were you trying to accomplish? | Optional summary, up to 500 Unicode characters; omit sensitive details. |
+| `task_outcome` | Did this result help? | Required if submitting: `fully`, `partially`, `no`, or `not_evaluated`. |
+| `output_quality` | How useful was the output? | Optional integer 1–10 (1 poor, 10 excellent). |
+| `improvement` | Anything missing or worth improving? | Optional nonempty text, up to 1,000 Unicode characters. |
+
+Submitting feedback remains optional. Submit `{"token": "...", "answers": {"task_outcome": "partially", "task_summary": "Enrich company records", "output_quality": 8, "improvement": "Include data freshness timestamps"}}` to the invitation URL using JSON POST. This endpoint is free and requires no merchant API key. A successful response includes `accepted`, `id`, and `submittedAt`. An exact retry returns the same acknowledgment. Different answers against the same invitation return 409. Invalid, expired, revoked, or incorrectly scoped tokens return 401; malformed answers return 400; oversized requests return 413; rate-limited submissions return 429 with `Retry-After`.
+
+Existing `result_feedback_v1` invitations continue to accept their original `outcome` field, 1–5 rating and outcome-or-improvement requirement. The signed questionnaire ID selects validation. Historical ratings remain on their original scale and are displayed separately; they are never mixed into the new 1–10 average. The metadata envelope and callback URL remain version 1. Deploy the updated collector before upgrading merchant SDKs.
+
+Tokens last seven days. Revoking a credential revokes its outstanding invitations too. Feedback can arrive before request telemetry and appears as **Pending telemetry** until matched. An agent can decline or ignore an invitation; Forge cannot schedule its return or prove downstream task success.
+
+## Export and lifecycle
+
+Events are best-effort across process crashes. Up to 100 events export every second, with a queue capped at 1,000 events or 5 MiB. Events larger than 8 KiB are dropped. Transient failures use bounded exponential retry with jitter. Invalid credentials disable exports and subsequent optional invitations for that SDK instance; recreate it after correcting configuration. Merchant traffic continues.
+
+`forge.diagnostics()` reports queued events/bytes, dropped events, skipped feedback, configuration errors, authentication failure and last successful export. `await forge.flush()` attempts pending delivery; `await forge.shutdown()` stops the timer and drains for at most two seconds. Stop accepting traffic and drain in-flight merchant requests before SDK shutdown. Do not call `flush()` inside payment hooks or request handlers.
+
+For a local collector set `apiUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:3001"` and `allowInsecureLocalhost: true`. HTTPS is required otherwise. No raw bodies, signatures, cookies, arbitrary headers, full query strings, or IP identifiers are exported.
+
+## Compatibility and validation
+
+The local integration suite covers Node 22.13.1 and Express 5.2.1. Node 24 and Express 4 are target versions, not yet certified by this environment. No specific x402 version is certified yet: observation and the explicit response helper are independent of the payment library, while a merchant pilot must verify its middleware's final response handling.
+
+```bash
+FORGE_SDK_TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/forge_test \
+  node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/sdk.test.mjs tests/sdk-integration.test.mjs
+```
+
+Run from the Forge repository. The integration suite creates and removes an isolated schema in the supplied **test database** and runs a localhost Express server. Unit tests also run with `npm test` without database configuration; the database suite then skips explicitly.
+
+### AgentCash pilot gate
+
+Use the merchant's opted-in endpoint and a pinned AgentCash CLI version. Record the actual Node, Express, x402, AgentCash, and payment-network versions. Fetch the endpoint through AgentCash, inspect the agent-visible result for `forge_metadata`, let a cooperating agent evaluate it, and submit the free callback. Verify its interaction and feedback in Agents. Repeat with a challenge/payment failure and confirm no prompt is present. A cooperating instruction may invite the agent to consider feedback, but must keep submission optional.
+
+The repository's Express/collector round-trip tests do not certify that AgentCash preserves metadata or that agents submit organically. Do not claim that compatibility until the real pilot is completed. MCP transport validation and Python support follow in phase two.
