The reservation and the replay claim are one write in the connector's
replay store; a failed ledger write runs nothing. Amounts are integer
micro-USD with checked arithmetic, and the service derives every cost from
usage and the configured price. One function, ProviderCall::charge, decides
the charge: a result bound to its request and caller pays its true cost with
a truthful overrun, anything else pays the reservation (ruling
spend-bills-on-identity-not-validity). Each caller has a spend ceiling over
fixed epoch-aligned windows in its root-owned config
(connector-spend-caller-window-ceiling); the admission window is monotonic,
so a clock stepping back cannot reopen budget, and a clock-locked caller is
refused ClockBehindAdmissionWindow (spend-window-clock-ahead-fails-closed).
Refusals CostBound, SpendCeiling and ClockBehindAdmissionWindow are typed.

A ReasoningState item carries each provider block as raw bytes. The service
decides what is foreign: foreign state after the last user text is refused,
earlier foreign state is dropped before the backend and counted on the
receipt. Backends receive a ProviderCall that holds only what they may see,
and the service fills and checks the receipt's provider tag and drop count;
a refused result reaches the caller as a typed Provider failure, releases
its slot and replays on retry. transcript_items turns a completed result
into transcript items from the receipt, so callers never branch on provider.

Each frame is a cultnet.operation_request.v0 / operation_response.v0
(service gamecult.model.connector, operation invoke) over loopback
TcpFramed, carrying the kit's sealed per-caller envelope: named
MessagePack only, unknown fields refused, binary ciphertext, JSON Schema
published from the types (ruling connector-v3-wire-cultnet-operation).
v2 is deleted with its fixtures (ruling connector-v3-only). The request is
provider-neutral, with max_output_tokens required; failure kinds, stop
reasons and usage are typed, and Policy is three typed refusals. Golden
v3 frames pin the carriage and envelope.
