| Field | Type | Required | Notes |

decision | string | no | one of select, decline |
The gate is a 402 OFFER — the price and a hard ceiling on the wire, with a durable intent that executes on settlement. Never a wall, never "contact sales". Price: not posted — see /pricing.
Delegated calls require a typed Mandate — { ceiling, perAction, expires, tripwires }; the ceiling is a field, not a conversation.
Door — fi.vin serves this noun on its two routes: / (the landing) · /2HKRS4H79PH405443 (the VIN lens).
Try it — sandbox: every call answers a deterministic, provenance-labeled simulated payload ({ environment, simulated } in the body). Force any documented outcome with the magic triggers. Going live is a connect, never a ballot: submit the credential at integrates.vin (dealer systems) or connects.vin (consumer accounts) — submissions enter the activation queue and rank live rollout.
Emits — Contract.captured@1 · Contract.staged@1 · Contract.voided@1 · FiMenu.declined@1 · FiMenu.presented@1 · FiMenu.selected@1.
