Agent Credit
A cash advance against a source's proven verification record. Performance earns reputation; reputation unlocks capital — the same ladder ARCANA validated for trading agents, applied here to Merit's own merit score. Collateral is real (the source's on-chain stake); enforcement is real (Stake.sol's own slash on default).
