Payment with --wallet flag

The --wallet flag enables autonomous payment via @moneydevkit/agent-wallet. Only use when the user explicitly requests autonomous payment.

Requires:

• A running agent-wallet daemon (npx @moneydevkit/agent-wallet start)
• Sufficient balance in the wallet

Flow: submit request → receive 402 with Lightning invoice → agent-wallet pays → retry with preimage.

⚠️ Always confirm with the user before using --wallet. This flag triggers a real bitcoin payment. Without --wallet, the CLI prints the invoice for the user to pay manually.

Credentials & Storage

• Management tokens: Stored at ~/.unhuman/tokens.json after successful registration. These tokens are required for DNS/nameserver/renewal operations. Protect this file.
• No API keys required: Domain search is free. Registration/renewal uses the MDK 402 payment protocol (pay-per-use via Lightning invoice).
• agent-wallet: If using --wallet, the wallet daemon must be initialized and running. The wallet's mnemonic and keys are managed separately by agent-wallet at ~/.agent-wallet/.

Notes

• All commands support --json for machine-readable output
• Prices are in USD, paid in bitcoin at current exchange rate
• Recovery email is optional but strongly recommended for token recovery
