(2) In the answers of the MCP tools messages[].from is now operator or you (your own messages used to be agent, which a small model read as the addressee); REST keeps operator and agent.

(2) next_action is more explicit: after the agent has answered the operator it says that the answer was delivered and that the operator has not replied yet; while an order is paid, in progress, shipped, awaiting the balance or delivered it says that the order is not finished until the status is confirmed; every open status says that it can change at any time.

A VAT id and a delivery address are to be given only if the user gave them.

(3) The payment link that create_task and get_status return (checkout_url) is now valid for 4 days (for a balance: 28 days) instead of 24 hours: it is a signed link of ours, GET /pay/{task_id}, that opens a Stripe Checkout page, a fresh one if Stripe's own page (24 hours) has expired meanwhile; after the link has expired nothing can be paid through it, no contract is concluded and a new quote is needed. (4) Smaller answers for models with a small context: list_services returns a short summary by default (full: true for the complete document), llms.txt is now a short signpost and the whole site as Markdown is llms-full.txt, the request_quote fields are listed once in the MCP tool list (flat; the nested shape is described in services.json and openapi.yaml), get_status and confirm_delivery list only the last 3 updates (older_updates counts the rest) and each update shows the task status at that moment, request_quote returns next_action too, and the reminder in next_action that the operator is waiting for a reply stays until the agent has replied, with a ready get_status call.

It needs the access_token as before; at most 10 messages per hour per quote and 30 per hour per client address. Still five MCP tools, no new one.

The operator can now send a note to the agent: get_status returns it as messages (newest first, plain text, at most 2000 characters) and, until it has been read once, says so in next_action; to reply, e-mail the tasks address with the quote_id in the subject (a later change the same day lets the agent reply through get_status; see the newer entry). The operator can also mark a quote as a test quote: an order made from it (test_mode true) has no payment link, no payment and no invoice, concludes no contract, and its payment is only simulated by the operator so the rest of the process can be exercised; it is never counted in any statistic or published as an example.

All fields may also be sent flat, at the top level, instead of nested under task/client; if both are sent, the nested value wins. The tool description, llms.txt and openapi.yaml now lead with the shortest possible example (description + email) before a fuller one with an address and a file, and state plainly that a real quote_id always starts with q_ and is only ever returned by this tool - never invent one. No legal terms changed: the categories of data processed and how long they are kept are the same, only which fields are mandatory changed." }, { "date": "2026-09-27", "text": "Clarified that the phone number inside task.delivery_address is optional: an agent that has a recipient's name and address should never stop to ask the user for a phone number just to fill this field. The address itself is still required whenever something physical is shipped, packed and collected, or handed over in person. Also noted that task.deadline may be omitted if the user gave none.

Assemble and commission hardware now names wiring the electronic connections, power-on and bring-up, and a functional test of the assembled electronics, alongside the firmware/OS-image flashing already stated; we still do not design electronics, schematics or circuit boards. The home page and llms.txt now say that any service can be ordered on its own or combined, up to full product development and construction through to a shipped item.
