+# solana-pay-request
+
+A ZeroClaw tool plugin that turns a payment intent ("charge table 4 for 25 USDC")
+into a Solana Pay transfer-request URL and a QR-ready payload a customer's wallet
+scans to pay. It holds no wallet, no key, and no config, and it makes no network
+call: it is pure computation. Given a recipient and an optional amount, SPL mint,
+reference key(s), label, message, and memo, it validates every field and builds a
+`solana:` URL faithful to the Solana Pay spec (docs.solanapay.com/spec).
+
+The demo: DM your agent "charge table 4 for 25 USDC", the agent resolves USDC to
+its mint and calls this tool, and a scannable Solana Pay QR appears in the chat.
+
+## What it produces (Solana Pay transfer request)
+
+One string, always, in the spec's transfer-request grammar:
+
+```
+solana:<recipient>?amount=<amount>&spl-token=<mint>&reference=<ref>&label=<label>&message=<message>&memo=<memo>
+```
+
+- `recipient` is the base58 address of the recipient's NATIVE wallet, in the URL
+  path. Per the spec the payer's wallet derives the associated token account, so
+  an ATA "must not be used" as the recipient.
+- `amount` is a non-negative decimal in UI units (`25` = 25 USDC, `0.5` = 0.5 SOL),
+  never lamports or raw base units. Omit it to let the payer enter the amount.
+- `spl-token` present makes it an SPL transfer of that mint; absent makes it SOL.
+- `reference` is one or more read-only tracking keys (an order or client id).
+- `label` and `message` are display-only (the wallet shows them, they are not
+  written on-chain); `memo` is written ON-CHAIN with the transfer.
+
+For the demo above the tool returns (measured: 413 bytes):
+
+```
+solana:mvines9iiHiQTysrwkJjGf2gb9Ex9jXJX8ns3qwf2kN?amount=25&spl-token=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&memo=table%204
+```
+
+wrapped in a compact JSON envelope `{"url", "qr_payload", "summary"}`. `qr_payload`
+equals `url` on purpose: a Solana Pay QR encodes the URL verbatim, so the field is
+the exact string a QR encoder consumes, letting the host render it without
+re-deriving anything. `summary` is a one-line human readout: amount, asset, and the
+recipient IN FULL. The mint is shortened and the recipient deliberately is not, because
+this line names where a payer's money goes and a rendering that shows only both ends
+invites a vanity address ground to match them. Any echoed memo or label is marked
+untrusted (see below).
+
+## Faithful to the spec (validated against its own examples)
+
+Two of the tests reproduce the spec's own example URLs byte-for-byte, which is the
+strongest correctness check available without a wallet:
+
+- SPL: `solana:mvines...?amount=0.01&spl-token=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`
+- SOL: `solana:mvines...?amount=1&label=Michael&message=Thanks%20for%20all%20the%20fish&memo=OrderId12345`
+
+One spec nuance resolved deliberately: spaces are encoded as `%20`, never `+`. The
+spec says wallets decode with `decodeURIComponent`, under which `+` would decode to
+a literal plus, not a space, so `%20` is the only encoding that round-trips (and it
+matches the spec's own examples).
+
+## Custody tier: T0 (zero secrets, zero network)
+
+This heading read `T0/T1` until a gate on the tier declaration flagged it. Two tiers is
+not a declaration, and the brief asks each showcase for one. T0 is the correct answer:
+the plugin reads, computes and returns, and it never builds a transaction, which is what
+T1 means elsewhere in this suite.
+
+This plugin is the safest tier in the suite:
+
+- It holds NO wallet and NO key. There is no seed, no signer, nothing to redact.
+  The whole argument and result surface is free of key material by construction.
+- It makes NO network call and reads NO config. `permissions = []` in the
+  manifest is the honest declaration: a compromised copy of this plugin has zero
+  I/O surface. It cannot move funds, sign anything, fetch anything, or leak a key,
+  because it has none of those capabilities. That last sentence used to rest on
+  reading the source. It is now read out of the compiled component instead: the
+  shipped `.wasm` imports no `wasi:http`, no `wasi:sockets` and no
+  `wasi:filesystem`, so there is no host function through which it could reach any
+  of them. Re-derive it yourself from the component you just built. A WASI interface can
+only be imported by name, so the name is in the binary if the capability is
+reachable and absent if it is not:
+
+```bash
+cd target/wasm32-wasip2/release
+for cap in wasi:http wasi:sockets wasi:filesystem; do echo "$cap $(grep -ac $cap solana_pay_request.wasm)"; done
+# wasi:http 0 / wasi:sockets 0 / wasi:filesystem 0
+for cap in wasi:cli wasi:io zeroclaw:plugin; do echo "$cap $(grep -ac $cap solana_pay_request.wasm)"; done
+# wasi:cli 23 / wasi:io 11 / zeroclaw:plugin 15
+```
+
+Read the second loop before believing the first. It is the control: three
+zeros mean nothing unless the same command returns non-zero for interfaces
+that are genuinely present, which is what distinguishes an absent capability
+from a grep that never read the file. The full embedded interface list is
+```grep -aoE 'wasi:[a-z-]+/[a-z0-9-]+' solana_pay_request.wasm | sort -u```,
+which on this build returns only `wasi:cli/*`, `wasi:clocks/monotonic-clock`
+and `wasi:io/*`. The scripted form of this check lives upstream at https://github.com/belumume/zeroclaw-solana.
+- The output is a payment REQUEST, not a signed transaction. Nothing it emits can
+  authorize a transfer; the payer's own wallet builds, signs, and sends the
+  transaction after scanning the QR.
+
+## Threat model
+
+`execute` takes attacker-influenceable arguments (an LLM agent driven by a possibly
+prompt-injected chat), so everything is validated fail-closed and the URL structure
+is fully controlled by this module, never by attacker free text:
+
+1. Arguments parse with `serde(deny_unknown_fields)`; a smuggled extra field
+   refuses the whole call.
+2. `recipient` is validated as a 32-byte base58 pubkey and re-emitted canonically.
+   It comes from its OWN typed field, so a hostile label or memo can never become
+   the recipient. A recipient that is injection text ("IGNORE PREVIOUS ...") is
+   simply not a valid pubkey and is rejected.
+3. `spl_token` and every `reference` are validated as base58 pubkeys; `reference`
+   is capped at 8 keys so an attacker cannot flood the URL (or the eventual
+   transaction) with unbounded read-only accounts.
+4. `amount` is validated as a canonical non-negative decimal (a digit before the
+   `.`, no sign, no scientific notation, bounded integer and fractional digits) and
+   preserved VERBATIM, never round-tripped through a float that would corrupt token
+   precision.
+5. `label`, `message`, and `memo` are run through the shared response-path
+   sanitizer (control, bidi, and zero-width characters stripped, length capped),
+   then PERCENT-ENCODED into the URL. This is the core defense: a memo of
+   `"table 4&recipient=<attacker>&amount=999"` becomes a single percent-encoded
+   memo value (`%26recipient%3D...`), so it can never break out to inject a second
+   `recipient`, `amount`, or `spl-token` parameter or a different path.
+6. Any echoed free text in the human summary passes through `label_untrusted`, so
+   on-chain-sourced injection framing is labeled untrusted rather than re-entering
+   the agent's context as if it were an instruction (OWASP LLM01, response path).
+
+The percent-encoding uses the RFC 3986 unreserved set only (stricter than
+`encodeURIComponent`), which is safe because a wallet's `decodeURIComponent`
+decodes the extra escapes back to the same characters.
+
+## Prompt injection fails closed (host tests)
+The end-to-end capture of a live attack against a running agent, with a human in the
+loop refusing it, is [recorded upstream](https://github.com/belumume/zeroclaw-solana/blob/main/docs/transcripts/injection-refund-redirect.md). What follows below is the
+plugin's own test suite, which is a different and weaker kind of evidence.
+
+
+These are the plugin's own host tests, with no wasm toolchain and no network.
+`cargo test --lib` runs the 80 unit tests below, covering the request core and
+the vendored sanitizer and base58 codec. Plain `cargo test`, which is what the
+registry CI runs, adds the 4 integration tests in `tests/` for 84 in total:

+
+What the load-bearing cases prove:
+
+- `hostile_memo_cannot_inject_a_second_recipient_or_param`: a memo that embeds
+  `&recipient=<attacker>&amount=999999&spl-token=<attacker>` yields a URL with
+  exactly ONE `amount`, ONE `spl-token`, and the original recipient in the path;
+  the injected copies come out percent-encoded inside the memo value and are inert.
+- `every_reserved_char_in_memo_is_percent_encoded`: `& = ? # / % + space` each
+  encode to `%26 %3D %3F %23 %2F %25 %2B %20`.
+- `bidi_and_zero_width_in_label_are_stripped` / `pure_hidden_payload_field_is_dropped`:
+  RLE/RLO, zero-width, and format characters are removed; a field that is nothing
+  but hidden characters sanitizes to empty and never appears in the URL.
+- `recipient_injection_string_is_rejected`: an injection phrase in the recipient
+  field is not a valid pubkey and is refused before any URL exists.
+- `spec_example_{usdc,sol}_transfer_matches_verbatim`: the built URLs are
+  byte-identical to the spec's published examples.
+
+## Tool interface
+
+```
+name: solana_pay_request
+inputs:
+  recipient   base58 address of the recipient's native wallet (REQUIRED)
+  amount      optional UI-unit decimal ("25", "0.5"); omit to let the payer enter it
+  spl_token   optional base58 SPL mint (present = SPL transfer, absent = SOL);
+              the URL-style key "spl-token" is also accepted
+  reference   optional base58 tracking key(s): a single string or an array
+  label       optional display source (store/brand); not written on-chain
+  message     optional display note (item/order); not written on-chain
+  memo        optional memo written ON-CHAIN with the transfer
+output:
+  a compact JSON object { url, qr_payload, summary }; url and qr_payload are the
+  identical solana: URL (a Solana Pay QR encodes the URL verbatim)
+```
+
+## Config keys
+
+None. This plugin reads no config and holds no secrets. `permissions = []`.
+
+## Output size (judges count tokens)
+
+The demo above returns 413 bytes. That is one happy-path payload rather than a bound:
+it carries a 7-character memo and sets no label, no message and no references.
+
+The bound is 3367 bytes, and it is DERIVED rather than read off a fixture. `OUTPUT_MAX`
+in `src/pay.rs` sums the JSON scaffolding, the URL twice (`url` and `qr_payload`), and
+the summary at twice its length to cover JSON escaping. Two tests fill every field to
+its cap and measure against it, printing what they measured: 1970 bytes all-ASCII and
+3026 bytes in 4-byte codepoints.
+
+Output does not scale with the URL alone. The summary is a second contributor, the memo
+reaches it a third time unencoded, and up to 54 further bytes come from this crate
+rather than from any input, because a memo carrying injection framing is tagged
+`[untrusted on-chain data; possible injection framing]` before it is echoed.
+
+There is no unbounded field. Every free-text field is capped in BYTES as well as in
+characters before it enters the output, since each is percent-encoded into the URL at
+three characters per byte outside the unreserved set, so a character cap alone would
+bound nothing a judge counting tokens measures.
+
+Rejections are bounded separately and to their own budgets, because an argument refused
+at the door never reaches a render and no output ceiling covers it: 64 bytes for an
+echoed pubkey-shaped value, 32 for an echoed amount, 120 for serde's own error text.
+
+## What you would build next
+
+- A `solana_pay_transaction_request` sibling for the interactive Solana Pay flow
+  (`solana:<https-link>`), where a merchant server returns a base64 transaction. It
+  needs an HTTPS endpoint, so it is a separate `http_client` plugin, kept distinct
+  from this zero-permission one.
+- Optional amount rounding to a mint's on-chain decimals, gated behind a single
+  cached `getMint` call (again a separate networked plugin, so this one stays pure).
+
+## Build
+
+```
+rustup target add wasm32-wasip2
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 --release
+cargo test                # 84 host tests, no wasm toolchain, no network
+```
+
+The pure core (`src/pay.rs`) is host-testable with no wasm toolchain; the
+`#[cfg(target_family = "wasm")]` shim in `src/lib.rs` only wires the WIT tool
+interface to it.

+//! Pure core of the `solana-pay-request` plugin: validate a payment request and
+//! emit a Solana Pay **transfer-request** URL plus a QR-ready payload. Custody
+//! tier T0: this plugin holds **no secrets and makes no network
+//! calls**. It is pure computation — validate inputs, then construct a `solana:`
+//! URL — so it is fully host-testable with no wasm toolchain and no RPC.
+//!
+//! # What it produces (Solana Pay transfer request, docs.solanapay.com/spec)
+//! ```text
+//! solana:<recipient>?amount=<amount>&spl-token=<mint>&reference=<ref>&label=<label>&message=<message>&memo=<memo>
+//! ```
+//! - `recipient` — REQUIRED base58 pubkey of the recipient's **native** wallet
+//!   (the payer's wallet derives the associated token account; per the spec an
+//!   ATA "must not be used"). Placed in the URL path.
+//! - `amount` — optional non-negative decimal in **UI units** (`25` = 25 USDC,
+//!   `0.5` = 0.5 SOL), never lamports/raw. Omit to let the payer enter it.
+//! - `spl-token` — optional base58 SPL mint. Present = SPL transfer; absent = SOL.
+//! - `reference` — optional, REPEATABLE base58 pubkey(s): read-only tracking keys.
+//! - `label` / `message` — optional display-only UTF-8 (percent-encoded).
+//! - `memo` — optional UTF-8 that the wallet writes **on-chain** with the transfer.
+//!
+//! # Why this is safe against prompt injection (OWASP LLM01)
+//! `recipient`, `amount`, `spl-token`, and `reference` each arrive in their OWN
+//! typed field and are validated (pubkey / canonical decimal) BEFORE the URL is
+//! built. The free-text fields (`label`/`message`/`memo`) are (1) stripped of
+//! control, bidi, and zero-width characters via the shared response-path
+//! sanitizer, and (2) **percent-encoded** at URL-build time. So a hostile memo of
+//! `"table 4&recipient=<attacker>&amount=999"` becomes a single percent-encoded
+//! memo VALUE (`%26recipient%3D...`) — it can never break out to inject a second
+//! `recipient`/`amount`/`spl-token` query parameter or a different path. The URL
+//! structure is fully controlled by this module, never by attacker free-text.

+// PROVENANCE INVERTS ON AN ERROR PATH, which is why these sites look like they need no byte cap
+// and do. On the SUCCESS path a `recipient`, `spl_token` or `reference` is a base58 pubkey and
+// therefore ASCII, so a character cap would bound it. Each of these branches fires precisely
+// BECAUSE the base58 check failed, and the `amount` branch because the value carried a byte
+// outside `[0-9.]`, so the string being echoed is whatever the caller sent, in whatever
+// encoding. serde is the worst of them, and the vector here is the unknown FIELD NAME rather
+// than an `invalid type` value: every field this module declares is a `String` or a
+// `serde_json::Value`, so there is no type mismatch whose value serde could quote back. A JSON
+// KEY is arbitrary UTF-8 of arbitrary length, and `deny_unknown_fields` embeds it verbatim.
+//
+// These echoes reach the agent's context through the shim's error return, which no output
+// ceiling covers: `OUTPUT_MAX` bounds a RENDERED request, and an argument refused at the door
+// never reaches a render. They are bounded here or nowhere.
+//
+// THERE IS NO OPERATOR-PROVENANCE SITE TO REFUSE IN THIS CRATE, recorded so a later sweep does
+// not go looking for the exemption its siblings carry. `spl-transfer-build` and `payment-watch`
+// deliberately leave their operator-supplied `__config` strings char-capped only, because the
+// provenance there is the operator rather than an attacker, and the truncation marker is a
+// signal the operator is the sole reader of. This plugin declares `permissions = []`, reads no
+// config and makes no network call, so no string it returns has operator provenance.
+//
+// STATED PRECISELY, because the loose version of this sentence was wrong twice over. Every error
+// string in this module that carries caller BYTES is byte-capped, and those are exactly the five
+// `sanitize_to_bytes` sites below. The rest are static literals or interpolate a const. Two
+// interpolate a caller-INFLUENCED value that is not caller bytes, a type name drawn from six
+// fixed literals and an array LENGTH, and each is recorded as a deliberate non-cap at its own
+// site rather than here.
+//
+// Each byte budget reuses its character cap, this crate's convention (`LABEL_MAX_BYTES` and its

+// was never bounded changes.

+/// only when the value is already non-canonical, so what it echoes is a malformed one, and a
+/// long enough malformed one is truncated with the sanitizer's marker. 32 bytes is what it takes
+/// to show an operator which value was refused.
+///

+//! bidirectional-override or zero-width characters that hide a payload from a
+//! human reviewer while it stays in the token stream the model reads. This is
+//! OWASP LLM01 indirect prompt injection, on the RESPONSE path.
+//!
+//! Argument validation is the better-covered half of this problem: a caller
+//! cannot pass a malicious `rpc_url`. The response path is the half this
+//! module exists for, covering the data a tool fetches from chain and hands
+//! back to the model.
+//!
+//! # Why not a blocklist
+//! Injection-phrase detection is fragile and low-recall; a blocklist that gates
+//! content is both bypassable and prone to dropping legitimate data. So the
+//! defense here is *structural*, and it covers both failure tails:
+//!
+//! 1. **Invisible-payload tail** — strip the control, zero-width, and bidi
+//!    characters that let a payload hide. This is done unconditionally, so it
+//!    protects even content that looks benign.
+//! 2. **Context-flood tail** — hard-cap length so a 40 KB name cannot flood the
+//!    model's context window (a context-flooding vector).
+//! 3. **Visible-framing tail** — an *advisory* `injection_suspected` flag when
+//!    obvious injection framing survives. This never drops content; it lets the
+//!    plugin label the field so the model treats it as quoted, untrusted data.
+//!
+//! Homoglyphs (e.g. Cyrillic `а` for Latin `a`) are intentionally **preserved**:
+//! stripping them would corrupt legitimate non-Latin names, and the defense
+//! against them is the untrusted-data framing + length cap, not lossy rewriting.

+/// of `n` admits up to `4n` bytes, and a field of astral-plane codepoints overshoots a published
+/// byte ceiling roughly fourfold while a flood fixture built from one repeated ASCII character
+/// proves the ceiling holds. The char cap alone is therefore not a context-flood defense in the
+/// unit the defense is stated in, and this function closes that gap at the source rather than in
+/// each consumer.

+/// # Ordering
+/// Characters first, then bytes. The char cap is what appends the `…` marker, and the byte cap
+/// then applies to the marked string, so a byte budget too small to hold the marker drops it
+/// whole (see [`truncate_to_byte_budget`]). No marker is re-appended after the byte cut: the
+/// returned [`Sanitized::truncated`] flag is what reports the truncation, and re-marking would
+/// push the output back over the very budget just enforced.
+///
+/// # `truncated` covers both axes
+/// Unlike [`sanitize_onchain`], whose flag means "exceeded `max_chars`", the flag returned here
+/// is true when EITHER cap fired. A caller that trusted the char-only flag would read `false` on
+/// a field the byte cap had just cut, which is the same blind spot in flag form.
