   Spending caps for Cat, and payments any machine can make

   Two guardrails-and-rails updates: hard Bitcoin spending limits on Cat payment actions, and a documented API loop so any agent or script can discover, buy, and verify settlement.

   • Set a max-per-payment cap and a daily Bitcoin budget in Cat → Permissions; Cat cannot exceed them even after you confirm.
   • New public API endpoints: create a payment for any public listing and poll it until it settles — with an integration key or no account at all.
   • The full machine-buying walkthrough is in the live API spec at /api/v1/openapi.json.

   Your Cat learns from real outcomes

   Cat now sees what actually happened to what you created together — published, funded, settled — and grounds its advice in those outcomes instead of guesses.

   • New Track Record in the Cat hub’s Context tab: created → published → funded, with settled Bitcoin per entity.
   • The same record is part of Cat’s own context, so suggestions lean on what worked for you.
   • Fixed: actions that asked for your confirmation could fail outright; confirmations now work.

   Discover, sharper and searchable

   Find what matters by meaning, not just keywords — and let search engines find it too.

   • Public semantic search across the economy: projects, people, and offers, matched by intent.
   • Discover now server-renders a crawlable content strip, so published work is indexable and shareable.

   A two-sided market

   The platform now indexes what people want, not only what they offer — and introduces the two sides.

   • A public open-demand feed: browse what the community is looking for.
   • Two-sided introductions surface matches between demand and supply.

   Wired to FleetCrown

   OrangeCat is the economic layer for FleetCrown — and now the wiring runs both ways.

   • Settled funding on a project or cause signals the FleetCrown fleet automatically.
   • Embedded the FleetCrown feedback widget — OrangeCat runs as its own second customer.

   Cat Credits go-live plumbing + steadier sessions

   Groundwork for paid Cat Credits, and a fix so auth-gated pages resolve instead of spinning.

   • Cat Credits go-live is now environment-driven, with a wallet-verification step.
   • Closed a hydration gap that could pin logged-in pages on a loading spinner.

   Cat-first, and payable on publish

   Your Cat is the front door, and publishing something payable is a guided, one-link step.

   • The dashboard routes everyone to the Cat hub.
   • Publishing a payable entity nudges you to connect a wallet and hands you a payable public link.
   • Hardened a public-profile data-exposure path.
