+## 2026-05-13 — live integration smoke tests (post-v0.2.0)
+
+**Author:** post-release hygiene
+**Scope:** test surface only; no public API change, no wire change, no version bump
+
+Added `tests/integration/test_live_ap2_guard.py` — five smoke tests (four sync + one async) exercising the AP2 wrapper end-to-end against a real Cycles server. Pattern mirrors `cycles-client-python/tests/integration/test_live_server.py`: module-level `pytest.mark.skipif(not CYCLES_BASE_URL)` so the whole file is skipped at collection time when env vars are unset. Default `pytest` runs and CI ignore it. Run locally with `CYCLES_BASE_URL=... CYCLES_API_KEY=... CYCLES_TENANT=... pytest tests/integration -v`.
+
+Each test uses a fresh UUID-based `transaction_id` and a `0.00000001` USD amount so the suite is idempotent across runs and doesn't consume meaningful budget. Covers: sync clean commit, sync exception→release, sync dry-run, async clean commit with `open_mandate_hash` scope, sync idempotent replay.
+
+This catches wire-shape regressions that the existing 147 mock-based tests can't (e.g., a server-side rename of a `Subject.dimensions` key, a field that flips from string to enum, etc.).

+### Live integration smoke (optional)
+
+`tests/integration/test_live_ap2_guard.py` exercises the sync and async wrappers end-to-end against a real Cycles server — useful for catching wire-shape regressions that mock-based unit tests can't see. The whole file is skipped at collection time when `CYCLES_BASE_URL` is unset, so default `pytest` runs (and CI) ignore it.
+
+To run locally against a dev Cycles server:
+
+```bash
+CYCLES_BASE_URL=http://localhost:7878 \
+CYCLES_API_KEY=cyc_dev_xxx \
+CYCLES_TENANT=ap2-integration \
+    pytest tests/integration -v
+```
+
+The tenant needs a budget with `payment.charge` permitted. Each test uses a fresh UUID-based `transaction_id` and a tiny `0.00000001` USD amount, so running the suite repeatedly doesn't consume meaningful budget.
+
 CI runs all three checks on Python 3.10 and 3.12 for every push and pull request. See [`AUDIT.md`](AUDIT.md) for the protocol-conformance posture, [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for the release log.

+"""Integration smoke tests against a live Cycles server.
+
+Skipped unless ``CYCLES_BASE_URL`` is set. Pattern mirrors
+``cycles-client-python/tests/integration/test_live_server.py`` (module-level
+``pytest.mark.skipif`` rather than a custom marker), so default
+``pytest`` runs in CI skip the whole file with no extra plumbing.
+
+Goal: exercise the AP2 wrapper end-to-end against a real Cycles server so
+wire-shape regressions that mocks can't catch surface here. We keep each
+test to a tiny dollar amount (1 micro-cent = $0.00000001) so running the
+suite repeatedly doesn't consume meaningful budget, and we use a fresh
+UUID-based ``transaction_id`` per test so idempotency keys never collide
+across runs.

+
+Make sure the tenant has a budget with the ``payment.charge`` action
+permitted before running these.
