Does paying an endpoint deliver what was bought? Not measured in the August 2026 issue.
Answered from the issue named below, as published on its date. A later issue is a later answer, at its own address.
The answer
Whether a paid call returns what was bought is not measured here. That audit has not run, and the issue prints the absence rather than filling it.
Current ecosystem observability measures payment acceptance more readily than successful paid delivery; probe402's paid-delivery audit is not yet complete.

What this does not say
- Nothing here is a statement that a sale completed. A payment challenge shows that a price was offered in a machine-readable form; it does not show that anything was paid or delivered.
