+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+## 0.1.0 - 2026-09-19
+
+- Add a reusable Python and FastAPI x402 reverse proxy for Kite.
+- Support Kite mainnet USDC.e and testnet pieUSD settlement requirements.
+- Keep `/healthz` free and protect every HTTP method below `/v1/*`.
+- Settle only after a successful upstream response.
+- Add isolated tests for payment ordering, failure paths, configuration, and proxy safety.
+- Add Docker, CI, Python package, and trusted-publishing configuration.

+# Kite x402 Wrapper for Python
+
+Wrap an HTTP API with x402 payments settled on Kite, using Python, FastAPI,
+and the official `x402` SDK. Every request under `/v1/*` is payment protected;
+`/healthz` remains free.
+
+The wrapper preserves the critical order:
+
+```text
+verify payment -> call upstream -> settle only when upstream status is below 400
+```
+
+## Install
+
+Python 3.10 or newer is required.
+
+The `0.1.0` PyPI release is prepared but is not published yet. Until the
+release is published, use the repository installation below.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Tools-touch/KiteAI-X402-Wrapper.git
+cd KiteAI-X402-Wrapper
+uv sync --extra dev
+cp .env.example .env
+kite-x402-wrapper
+```
+
+After the PyPI release is published, the installed-package form is:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install kite-x402-wrapper
+cp .env.example .env
+kite-x402-wrapper
+```
+
+For development from this repository:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --extra dev
+cp .env.example .env
+uv run kite-x402-wrapper
+```
+
+Then request a paid route:
+
+```bash
+curl -i "http://localhost:8080/v1/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.41&current=temperature_2m"
+```
+
+An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header. The
+wrapper strips the first `/v1` prefix before proxying, so the example above
+reaches `https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `PAY_TO` | required | Public EVM address receiving payments |
+| `KITE_NETWORK` | `mainnet` | `mainnet` or `testnet` |
+| `UPSTREAM_URL` | required | Fixed upstream HTTP(S) origin |
+| `UPSTREAM_AUTH_HEADER` | `Authorization` | Optional upstream credential header |
+| `UPSTREAM_AUTH_VALUE` | empty | Optional credential value, never returned to callers |
+| `PRICE_USD` | `0.001` | Positive decimal USD price, at most 6 fractional digits |
+| `SERVICE_DESCRIPTION` | generic description | Text included in the 402 requirements |
+| `FACILITATOR_URL` | Pieverse `/v2` endpoint | HTTPS x402 facilitator base URL |
+| `PORT` | `8080` | Listening port |
+
+Start on Kite testnet. The wrapper uses pieUSD on `eip155:2368`; mainnet uses
+USDC.e on `eip155:2366`. The package never needs a wallet private key.
+
+## Use as a library
+
+```python
+from kite_x402_wrapper import Settings, create_app
+
+settings = Settings.from_env()
+app = create_app(settings)
+```
+
+The application factory accepts an HTTPX client and payment components as
+optional injected dependencies. Tests can therefore verify proxy and
+settlement behavior without real funds or external services.
+
+## Safety properties
+
+- A missing or invalid payment never reaches the upstream.
+- Upstream responses with status 400 or higher are not settled.
+- Upstream connection failures return 502 and are not settled.
+- Payment headers are removed before proxying.
+- Upstream credentials replace caller-provided values and are never returned.
+- The proxy target stays on the configured upstream origin.
+- Amount conversion uses `Decimal`, never binary floating point.
+
+Because settlement happens after the handler finishes, responses are buffered
+in memory by the official x402 FastAPI middleware. This template is intended
+for ordinary API payloads, not unbounded downloads or streaming endpoints.
+
+## Quality checks
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run mypy
+uv run pytest --cov=kite_x402_wrapper
+uv build
+uv run twine check dist/*
+```
+
+## Public deployment and paid acceptance
+
+Kite Passport calls services from its own servers. Real paid testing requires
+a public HTTPS origin; localhost and browser-gated tunnels are not sufficient.
+Use a small, short-lived Passport sandbox session and verify the returned
+`PAYMENT-RESPONSE` transaction reference. Never fabricate paid-call evidence.
+
+## License
+

+python -m pip install kite-x402-wrapper
+cp .env.example .env
+kite-x402-wrapper
+```
+
+For development from this repository:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --extra dev
+cp .env.example .env
+uv run kite-x402-wrapper
+```
+
+Then request a paid route:
+
+```bash
+curl -i "http://localhost:8080/v1/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.41&current=temperature_2m"
+```
+
+An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header. The
+wrapper strips the first `/v1` prefix before proxying, so the example above
+reaches `https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `PAY_TO` | required | Public EVM address receiving payments |
+| `KITE_NETWORK` | `mainnet` | `mainnet` or `testnet` |
+| `UPSTREAM_URL` | required | Fixed upstream HTTP(S) origin |
+| `UPSTREAM_AUTH_HEADER` | `Authorization` | Optional upstream credential header |
+| `UPSTREAM_AUTH_VALUE` | empty | Optional credential value, never returned to callers |
+| `PRICE_USD` | `0.001` | Positive decimal USD price, at most 6 fractional digits |
+| `SERVICE_DESCRIPTION` | generic description | Text included in the 402 requirements |
+| `FACILITATOR_URL` | Pieverse `/v2` endpoint | HTTPS x402 facilitator base URL |
+| `PORT` | `8080` | Listening port |
+
+Start on Kite testnet. The wrapper uses pieUSD on `eip155:2368`; mainnet uses
+USDC.e on `eip155:2366`. The package never needs a wallet private key.
+
+## Use as a library
+
+```python
+from kite_x402_wrapper import Settings, create_app
+
+settings = Settings.from_env()
+app = create_app(settings)
+```
+
+The application factory accepts an HTTPX client and payment components as
+optional injected dependencies. Tests can therefore verify proxy and
+settlement behavior without real funds or external services.
+
+## Safety properties
+
+- A missing or invalid payment never reaches the upstream.
+- Upstream responses with status 400 or higher are not settled.
+- Upstream connection failures return 502 and are not settled.
+- Payment headers are removed before proxying.
+- Upstream credentials replace caller-provided values and are never returned.
+- The proxy target stays on the configured upstream origin.
+- Amount conversion uses `Decimal`, never binary floating point.
+
+Because settlement happens after the handler finishes, responses are buffered
+in memory by the official x402 FastAPI middleware. This template is intended
+for ordinary API payloads, not unbounded downloads or streaming endpoints.
+
+## Quality checks
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run mypy
+uv run pytest --cov=kite_x402_wrapper
+uv build
+uv run twine check dist/*
+```
+
+## Public deployment and paid acceptance
+
+Kite Passport calls services from its own servers. Real paid testing requires
+a public HTTPS origin; localhost and browser-gated tunnels are not sufficient.
+Use a small, short-lived Passport sandbox session and verify the returned
+`PAYMENT-RESPONSE` transaction reference. Never fabricate paid-call evidence.
