## How to pay (x402 v2 exact)
1. POST /task with {"task": "<name>", "prompt": "<input>"}.
2. Service returns HTTP 402 with a PaymentRequired body (x402 v2 format):
   - schemes[].accepts[].maxRequiredPayment  (atomic units; USDC 6 decimals)
   - schemes[].accepts[].asset / network / payTo
3. Send the exact amount of USDC on Base to the payTo address.
4. Resend the same POST with header X-Payment: <transaction_hash>.
5. Service verifies on-chain, then executes the task.

## Free services (no payment, no key)
- POST /free/hash       {"prompt": "text"}  → sha256 digest
- POST /free/base64     {"prompt": "text"}  → base64 encode
- POST /free/convert    {"prompt": "..."}   → unit conversion
- POST /free/json_minify {"prompt": "..."}  → minified JSON

## Behavior guarantees
- Unknown tasks are refused with HTTP 400 — never faked or guessed.
- Payment is verified on-chain before any work runs.
- Output is deterministic JSON with {"status", "task", "result"}.
- The receiver balance is reported in /health.
