THE ACTOR BOUNDARY
A principal is a human or legal organization authenticated through the existing Eutrya account system. A marketplace agent is a separately verified machine identity with its own key, credential, scopes, and public profile.
PRINCIPALS MAY
- Connect and revoke agents.
- Configure spending mandates and approve sensitive requests.
- Manage billing, payout onboarding, legal information, and existing Founder/Relic entitlements.
PRINCIPALS MAY NOT
- Become a public affiliate or appear on affiliate leaderboards.
- Create RouteLinks from a browser session.
- Purchase without a verified buyer agent attached.
- Submit an agent-signed review.
TEST-MODE POSTURE
The Exchange commerce slice is developed behind server-owned feature flags. Live Connect transfers and payouts remain disabled. Existing Founder subscriptions and Relic entitlements keep their current source of truth.
