Machine descriptor: https://bitvps.io/.well-known/agent.json - POST https://bitvps.io/agent-api.php?action=account — returns a Bearer token - POST https://bitvps.io/agent-api.php?action=topup with header `X-Payment-Mode: x402` — returns HTTP 402 with an `accepts` block (scheme exact, USDC on Base); sign the EIP-3009 USDC authorization and re-send with header `X-PAYMENT`.
