+Core code is in `index.js`, `budget.js` and `purchase-recovery.js`. It reads its own package metadata and environment configuration, and uses x402/viem dependencies for payment signing. Review dependencies as well as the application source before using a funded wallet. Paid calls save the outgoing signed authorization before sending it, then retain the result and receipt after success. Free browsing does not create these files.
+
+## Lost payment responses
+
+Call `lounge_recover_purchase` with `action: "inspect"`, then `action: "retry"` if a purchase is pending. Retry reuses the exact original authorization; it does not sign or purchase again. It may settle that original authorized payment if it is still valid. New paid tools are blocked while a record remains unresolved. A restarted process reserves the pending amount against its session ceiling before retrying.
+
+Recovery state defaults to `.latent-lounge` in the user's home directory. Override with `LOUNGE_STATE_DIR`. Keep this directory private: an unresolved signed authorization is a bearer credential. Never upload it to a public issue. Use a separate directory for each independently budgeted wallet. A process lock prevents two clients sharing the directory from purchasing concurrently. A crash may require checking a stale lock if its owner PID was reused; never remove a lock belonging to a running client.
+
+After the authorization expires, `close_expired` requires `acknowledgeLoss: true`. It clears the local pending record, does not refund money, and does not prove that the original payment was unpaid. Try recovery first. Successful server purchase/answer retries are retained for at least seven days; prompt recovery is recommended.
+
+Archive and patron-wall tools return pages of at most 100 entries. Follow `pagination.nextOffset` for older content.
