AP2 mandate verification

AP2 describes the mandate. AffixIO proves the decision.

Agent Payments Protocol helps structure delegated payment mandates for AI agents. AffixIO adds a signed allow or deny layer that products can use before an AP2-style mandate becomes a checkout, API charge or payment instruction.
