 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.2.1 - 2026-07-28
+
+- Release (activation/self-fund): publish the first `luxin-cli` payload since
+  the `0.2.0` rename so external agents receive the credits-as-funded-boundary
+  quota contract from #2149 — the starter preview is 50 lifetime credits with
+  a 50-job UTC-day compatibility cap, funded identities have no daily job cap
+  because prepaid credits and atomic credit reservations are the spend
+  boundary, and `usage quota` omits `daily_jobs` for funded identities — plus
+  the guide budget-basis fix from #2164 so `create --guide` picks hosted
+  defaults against the same credit debit the hosted budget guard enforces (a
+  `max_estimated_usd_per_image` cap in the $0.09-$0.12 band now plans the
+  1k/9-credit xAI default instead of failing `BUDGET_EXCEEDED` at 2k).
+- Release (discovery/attribution): the guide `auth_required` signup handoff
+  now asks the agent to self-report a `DISCOVERY_SOURCE` placeholder when no
+  slug is configured in the environment, and the packaged `SKILL.md`,
+  `README`, and `cli.md` quickstarts carry `--discovery-source` /
+  `IMAGE_SKILL_DISCOVERY_SOURCE` attribution from #2166 so external signups
+  stop arriving unattributed.
+- Release (hosted parity): the packaged contract picks up hosted behavior
+  shipped since `0.2.0`: model-parameter validation fails closed on stray
+  `series_amount` and only enforces schema-declared integer minimums (#2161),
+  `models show` and `capabilities` serve the exact catalog schema the hosted
+  validator enforces (#2167), and signup envelopes carry an honest quota
+  warning pointing at the runnable self-fund path when the rolling daily
+  starter free-preview grant budget is exhausted (#2163). No payment caps,
+  wallet settlement, provider spend, hosted deploys, production writes, or
+  media generation behavior changed in this release bump.

 2. Read data.guide_warning, then follow data.next_command when its next_command_safety is safe for the current spend policy. Prefer data.guide_recovery for no-doc recovery: data.guide_recovery.no_spend_command_field and data.guide_recovery.no_spend_command name the safest no-spend command, data.guide_recovery.live_create_command_field and data.guide_recovery.live_payment_command_field name fields that would spend, and data.guide_recovery.double_spend_guard tells you when to check error.recovery, jobs, activity, or payment status before any live retry. Do not run doctor, models list, signup, whoami, quota, dry-run, or payment commands as a setup checklist before the guide asks for them.
 3. If data.stage is prompt_required, rerun data.next_command with the real prompt.
 4. If data.stage is auth_required, data.auth_ready.ready is false and data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is hosted_signup_no_spend_setup. Run data.next_command, then rerun the guide once. Hosted signup saves the restricted token to the public CLI config by default with 0600 permissions. If the configured config path is blocked, data.next_command sets LUXIN_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/.luxin/config.json" and still runs a saved-config signup; do not switch to raw-token handoff unless recovery explicitly requires it. If the runtime intentionally uses --no-save --show-token, store the returned token in the agent runtime secret store, then rerun with IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN or --token-stdin; data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_env and data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_stdin are copy-safe templates for that mode. Signup is anonymous by default: no contact inbox is required to get a restricted token. The optional --agent-contact flag takes an email-shaped durable contact inbox for the restricted agent identity, not a requirement to find an individual human; attach one later with luxin claim request --contact INBOX --json when funding or durability makes it worth having. Hosted signup returns the raw restricted token only when --show-token is set, and only once. When providing a contact, use an agent-owned inbox when available; otherwise use an operator, team, or sponsor inbox that can receive future claim, billing, or abuse notices. Never invent an inbox or borrow an unrelated human email just to fill the flag — omit it instead. example.invalid addresses are only appropriate inside documented harness or proof runs. --human-email remains accepted as a compatibility alias, but the guide must not teach it. Anonymous signups mint a fresh agent identity on every call; reuse the saved config instead of re-running signup. --save is accepted as a compatibility no-op for the default save behavior; use --no-save only when the runtime has a separate secret store and does not want local config.
-5. At any guide stage, read data.checks.quota.top_up. When available is true, it includes recommended, recommendation_reason, preferred_payment_method, quote_command, quote_command_copy_runnable, quote_command_effect, and quote/buy/status command templates for the browserless x402 top-up path; recommended and urgency say whether to act now. On quota/payment recovery errors, read error.recovery.top_up: when delegated live-money quoting is allowed, error.recovery.suggested_command points at the direct quote to open the top-up path; use error.recovery.top_up.first_command for no-spend payment-method inspection when delegated spend authority is absent or unclear. If data.stage is quota_required, data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is live_money_payment_action and data.guide_warning.payment_top_up_path summarizes the live-money path. Run data.self_fund_next_command to start the top-up. It aliases data.next_command and is the first payment command, usually an x402 or Stripe quote. First read data.checks.payments.preferred_method_summary.top_up_path: browserless_agent_self_fund means a wallet-equipped agent can complete the preferred live-money rail without a browser; human_payment_handoff means the agent can create the payment attempt but a human/browser step must complete before credits are granted. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_env or data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the payment command. Then follow data.self_fund_handoff.payment_commands.buy and status, and rerun data.self_fund_handoff.after_next once credits are granted. If data.stage is ready_to_create, inspect data.self_fund_preparation before consuming the remaining free allowance; it mirrors top-up urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons. When available and recommended are true, data.self_fund_preparation.quote_command is the pre-wall browserless x402 quote and, when copy-runnable, data.self_fund_next_command aliases it with a pre_wall label such as pre_wall_browserless_agent_payable_quote. The quote command creates an authenticated live-money quote/payment object, but data.self_fund_preparation.quote_command_effect must show no provider call, no hosted create, no credit debit, no media write, and no wallet settlement until a later buy/payment step. One Luxin credit is $0.01. Credit quotes grant prepaid value units; create/edit operations debit model-priced credits reported as cost.credit_pricing. Starter preview currently gives bounded free-preview credits plus a four-job daily cap.

 5a. When data.stage is quota_required, data.self_fund_handoff mirrors top-up urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons, and exposes first_safe_command plus first_safe_command_effect. Run first_safe_command, usually luxin credits methods --json, for no-spend rail inspection before quote/buy when delegated spend authority is absent or unclear.
 6. If data.stage is ready_to_create, data.next_command is the first bounded live create. data.guide_warning.next_command_safety must be live_media_create_credit_debit, data.guide_warning.no_spend_safe must be false, data.guide_warning.spend_required must be true, and data.guide_warning.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. data.auth_ready.ready and data.auth_ready.next_command_auth_ready must be true; data.auth_ready.next_command_requires_auth must be true, and the command can reuse saved config, IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN, or --token-stdin context without exposing a raw token. data.next_command_effect.label must be live_media_create_credit_debit and its provider_call, hosted_create, credit_debit, and media_write flags are true. data.no_spend_evaluation.stop_here must be true, data.no_spend_evaluation.next_command_is_live_create must be true, and data.no_spend_evaluation.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. Run data.next_command only when media spend is allowed. In no-spend evaluations, or when you only need to prove readiness without media/provider work, stop before data.next_command and run data.recommended_no_spend_command instead. data.recommended_no_spend_command must equal data.no_spend_next_command. data.no_spend_next_command_effect.label must be dry_run_planned_job_no_provider_call_no_credit_debit_no_media_write: no_spend, hosted_create_dry_run, planned_job, and plan_receipt are true; activity_event is job.planned; provider_call, credit_debit, and media_write are false. This dry-run may create a recoverable planned job/activity receipt but no provider execution, debit, downloadable asset, or media write. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_env or data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the live create. In guide cost output, cost.estimated_usd_per_image and cost.estimated_debit_usd_per_image are the Luxin debit dollars for one output; cost.estimated_provider_usd_per_image is only the upstream provider estimate. Use the guide's returned max_estimated_usd_per_image because it is sized to the credit debit the agent funds. Add --output-count N only after models show confirms the selected create model supports more than one output; credit_pricing.credits_required is the total debit across outputs, while max_estimated_usd_per_image remains a per-image Luxin debit guard.
 7. After create, prefer data.next_actions when present: inspect_job and inspect_asset are copy-runnable no-spend recovery commands, iterate_edit is the reusable-asset edit template, and self_fund is the promoted top-up quote handoff when quota.top_up.available is true. self_fund.recommended plus urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons say whether to act now, and self_fund exposes first_safe_command plus first_safe_command_effect for no-spend rail inspection before quote/buy. When self_fund.recommended is true and the quote is copy-runnable, data.self_fund_next_command aliases data.next_actions.self_fund.quote_command and data.self_fund_next_command_effect proves the quote creates no provider call, hosted create, credit debit, media write, or wallet settlement. self_fund.quote_command is copy-runnable and omits --idempotency-key so the public CLI generates and returns one for retry safety; follow the quote response into buy/status. Otherwise use luxin jobs show JOB_ID to recover status, cost, safety, timestamps, and final assets; luxin assets get ASSET_URL_OR_ID --output ./result.png to fetch the generated asset without repeating provider work; and luxin activity list --subject JOB_ID to find ledger events, trace, usage, asset links, and any data.next_actions.self_fund handoff to cite or follow. Hosted asset-id assets show/get may also return data.next_actions.self_fund after generated work, so inspect that field before ending the session.

 If the runtime supports stdin secret handoff, prefer `--token-stdin` over `--token` for `whoami`, `usage quota`, `create`, and `feedback create`. The guide returns `data.auth_handoff` with copy-safe env and stdin command templates so the token never lands in prompts, logs, or feedback.

 2. Read data.guide_warning, then follow data.next_command when its next_command_safety is safe for the current spend policy. Prefer data.guide_recovery for no-doc recovery: data.guide_recovery.no_spend_command_field and data.guide_recovery.no_spend_command name the safest no-spend command, data.guide_recovery.live_create_command_field and data.guide_recovery.live_payment_command_field name fields that would spend, and data.guide_recovery.double_spend_guard tells you when to check error.recovery, jobs, activity, or payment status before any live retry. Do not run doctor, models list, signup, whoami, quota, dry-run, or payment commands as a setup checklist before the guide asks for them.
 3. If data.stage is prompt_required, rerun data.next_command with the real prompt.
 4. If data.stage is auth_required, data.auth_ready.ready is false and data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is hosted_signup_no_spend_setup. Run data.next_command, then rerun the guide once. Hosted signup saves the restricted token to the public CLI config by default with 0600 permissions. If the configured config path is blocked, data.next_command sets LUXIN_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/.luxin/config.json" and still runs a saved-config signup; do not switch to raw-token handoff unless recovery explicitly requires it. If the runtime intentionally uses --no-save --show-token, store the returned token in the agent runtime secret store, then rerun with IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN or --token-stdin; data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_env and data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_stdin are copy-safe templates for that mode. Signup is anonymous by default: no contact inbox is required to get a restricted token. The optional --agent-contact flag takes an email-shaped durable contact inbox for the restricted agent identity, not a requirement to find an individual human; attach one later with luxin claim request --contact INBOX --json when funding or durability makes it worth having. Hosted signup returns the raw restricted token only when --show-token is set, and only once. When providing a contact, use an agent-owned inbox when available; otherwise use an operator, team, or sponsor inbox that can receive future claim, billing, or abuse notices. Never invent an inbox or borrow an unrelated human email just to fill the flag — omit it instead. example.invalid addresses are only appropriate inside documented harness or proof runs. --human-email remains accepted as a compatibility alias, but the guide must not teach it. Anonymous signups mint a fresh agent identity on every call; reuse the saved config instead of re-running signup. --save is accepted as a compatibility no-op for the default save behavior; use --no-save only when the runtime has a separate secret store and does not want local config.

When available is true, it includes recommended, recommendation_reason, preferred_payment_method, quote_command, quote_command_copy_runnable, quote_command_effect, and quote/buy/status command templates for the browserless x402 top-up path; recommended and urgency say whether to act now. On quota/payment recovery errors, read error.recovery.top_up: when delegated live-money quoting is allowed, error.recovery.suggested_command points at the direct quote to open the top-up path; use error.recovery.top_up.first_command for no-spend payment-method inspection when delegated spend authority is absent or unclear. If data.stage is quota_required, data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is live_money_payment_action and data.guide_warning.payment_top_up_path summarizes the live-money path. Run data.self_fund_next_command to start the top-up. It aliases data.next_command and is the first payment command, usually an x402 or Stripe quote. First read data.checks.payments.preferred_method_summary.top_up_path: browserless_agent_self_fund means a wallet-equipped agent can complete the preferred live-money rail without a browser; human_payment_handoff means the agent can create the payment attempt but a human/browser step must complete before credits are granted. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_env or data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the payment command. Then follow data.self_fund_handoff.payment_commands.buy and status, and rerun data.self_fund_handoff.after_next once credits are granted. If data.stage is ready_to_create, inspect data.self_fund_preparation before consuming the remaining free allowance; it mirrors top-up urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons. When available and recommended are true, data.self_fund_preparation.quote_command is the pre-wall browserless x402 quote and, when copy-runnable, data.self_fund_next_command aliases it with a pre_wall label such as pre_wall_browserless_agent_payable_quote. The quote command creates an authenticated live-money quote/payment object, but data.self_fund_preparation.quote_command_effect must show no provider call, no hosted create, no credit debit, no media write, and no wallet settlement until a later buy/payment step. One Luxin credit is $0.01. Credit quotes grant prepaid value units; create/edit operations debit model-priced credits reported as cost.credit_pricing.

 5a. When data.stage is quota_required, data.self_fund_handoff mirrors top-up urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons, and exposes first_safe_command plus first_safe_command_effect. Run first_safe_command, usually luxin credits methods --json, for no-spend rail inspection before quote/buy when delegated spend authority is absent or unclear.
 6. If data.stage is ready_to_create, data.next_command is the first bounded live create. data.guide_warning.next_command_safety must be live_media_create_credit_debit, data.guide_warning.no_spend_safe must be false, data.guide_warning.spend_required must be true, and data.guide_warning.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. data.auth_ready.ready and data.auth_ready.next_command_auth_ready must be true; data.auth_ready.next_command_requires_auth must be true, and the command can reuse saved config, IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN, or --token-stdin context without exposing a raw token. data.next_command_effect.label must be live_media_create_credit_debit and its provider_call, hosted_create, credit_debit, and media_write flags are true. data.no_spend_evaluation.stop_here must be true, data.no_spend_evaluation.next_command_is_live_create must be true, and data.no_spend_evaluation.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. Run data.next_command only when media spend is allowed. In no-spend evaluations, or when you only need to prove readiness without media/provider work, stop before data.next_command and run data.recommended_no_spend_command instead. data.recommended_no_spend_command must equal data.no_spend_next_command. data.no_spend_next_command_effect.label must be dry_run_planned_job_no_provider_call_no_credit_debit_no_media_write: no_spend, hosted_create_dry_run, planned_job, and plan_receipt are true; activity_event is job.planned; provider_call, credit_debit, and media_write are false. This dry-run may create a recoverable planned job/activity receipt but no provider execution, debit, downloadable asset, or media write. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_env or data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the live create. In guide cost output, cost.estimated_usd_per_image and cost.estimated_debit_usd_per_image are the Luxin debit dollars for one output; cost.estimated_provider_usd_per_image is only the upstream provider estimate. Use the guide's returned max_estimated_usd_per_image because it is sized to the credit debit the agent funds. Add --output-count N only after models show confirms the selected create model supports more than one output; credit_pricing.credits_required is the total debit across outputs, while max_estimated_usd_per_image remains a per-image Luxin debit guard.
 7. After create, prefer data.next_actions when present: inspect_job and inspect_asset are copy-runnable no-spend recovery commands, iterate_edit is the reusable-asset edit template, and self_fund is the promoted top-up quote handoff when quota.top_up.available is true. self_fund.recommended plus urgency, urgency_score, and urgency_reasons say whether to act now, and self_fund exposes first_safe_command plus first_safe_command_effect for no-spend rail inspection before quote/buy. When self_fund.recommended is true and the quote is copy-runnable, data.self_fund_next_command aliases data.next_actions.self_fund.quote_command and data.self_fund_next_command_effect proves the quote creates no provider call, hosted create, credit debit, media write, or wallet settlement. self_fund.quote_command is copy-runnable and omits --idempotency-key so the public CLI generates and returns one for retry safety; follow the quote response into buy/status. Otherwise use luxin jobs show JOB_ID to recover status, cost, safety, timestamps, and final assets; luxin assets get ASSET_URL_OR_ID --output ./result.png to fetch the generated asset without repeating provider work; and luxin activity list --subject JOB_ID to find ledger events, trace, usage, asset links, and any data.next_actions.self_fund handoff to cite or follow. Hosted asset-id assets show/get may also return data.next_actions.self_fund after generated work, so inspect that field before ending the session.
