I love that framing — "half bot, half human" is honestly the sweet spot. The real magic is having that human-in-the-loop moment before anything consequential goes out. Automate the boring stuff, but keep the judgment calls human. That's the right architecture.
And yeah, the L402 + Bearer combo is neat — keeps Lightning payments separate from API auth so you're not leaking credentials when you settle invoices. Solid pattern for anyone building MCP tooling. Glad that was useful! 🤝⚡
