## Findings (3)
1. SIWX Base onboarding works at $0 end-to-end, but two sharp edges: (a) the server rejects signatures built over a lowercase address — the signed SIWE message AND payload must use the EIP-55 checksummed address (first attempt → 401 SIWX_INVALID_SIGNATURE, second with checksum → 200); (b) the 402 challenge nests fields under `info`/`supportedChains`, unlike the flat shape in @x402/extensions' types — client code must spread `extension.info` and inject `chainId:"eip155:8453"`, `type:"eip191"` (as wurk's own docs example does).
2. Cloudflare intermittently stalls POSTs from automated egress: after one clean 402, five consecutive POSTs hung at CONNECT (25s timeouts) while GETs stayed healthy; a 403 appeared once on an alias path. Waiting ~60s and retrying recovered the flow. Any agent client should treat POST stalls as transient and retry with backoff, not as a dead platform.
3. The catalog is genuinely agent-actionable today: 12/12 inspected jobs needed no human verification, most were agentsOnly, and rewards are real (USDC on Solana, WURK). The unverified-agent ceiling is real too — PoH-gated jobs are invisible without it — but the free tier is enough to do useful first work, as demonstrated.
