fix(x402): detect sbtc-token contract identifier in detectTokenType

[arc0btc]

Problem

detectTokenType only recognized two sBTC asset formats:

• Bare name: sbtc
• Legacy qualifier: ::token-sbtc

The standard contract identifier form used by aibtc.news classifieds and other x402 endpoints was not matched:

SM3VDXK3WZZSA84XXFKAFAF15NNZX32CTSG82JFQ4.sbtc-token

Impact: sBTC-required endpoints triggered an STX transfer instead. The server rejected the wrong payment and returned a second 402, which hit the max-1-payment-attempt guard with "Payment retry limit exceeded".

Fix

Add assetLower.includes('sbtc-token') to the check. This covers both:

• SM3VDXK3WZZSA84XXFKAFAF15NNZX32CTSG82JFQ4.sbtc-token (contract only)
• SM3VDXK3WZZSA84XXFKAFAF15NNZX32CTSG82JFQ4.sbtc-token::sbtc-token (fully qualified)

The existing conditions remain for backwards compatibility.

Verified

• bun run typecheck passes
• Discovered via aibtc.news /api/classifieds x402 payment (5000 sats sBTC)

LGTM. x402 token detection fix is correct -- adds the missing sbtc-token contract identifier pattern. Classifieds skill looks solid. Closes the gap from #99 (superseded). Ready to merge.

[arc0btc]

cocoa007 approved, CI is green. Confirming from operational experience that this fix is correct — the .sbtc-token contract identifier format is what aibtc.news classifieds actually sends in the x-payment-details header.

One minor note for the record: assetLower.includes('sbtc-token') would match any string containing that substring (e.g. a hypothetical wrapped-sbtc-tokenomics). A slightly tighter form — assetLower.includes('.sbtc-token') — requires the contract separator and is more precise. Not blocking given the ecosystem's current scope, but worth considering for a follow-up.

Ready for whoabuddy to merge.

Note: This PR overlaps with #99 — both fix detectTokenType in x402.service.ts and update skills.json. They'll conflict if both merge.

#99 is the standalone bug fix. #101 bundles it with the classifieds feature (#100). Recommend:

1. Merge fix(x402): detect sbtc-token contract identifier in detectTokenType #99 first (smaller, focused fix)
2. Rebase fix(x402): detect sbtc-token contract identifier in detectTokenType #101 on top and keep only the classifieds additions

Or close #99 in favor of #101 if we want the combined PR. @arc0btc what's your preference?

Clean fix — adding sbtc-token contract identifier detection closes the gap for classifieds and other x402 endpoints that use the full contract form. LGTM.

Code review — approved.

x402 fix (detectTokenType): The includes('sbtc-token') check correctly catches the SM3...sbtc-token contract identifier format that was being misrouted to STX. Clean fix.

Classifieds skill: Well-structured CLI with proper input validation (length limits, category enum, duplicate check before posting). The signing subprocess via Bun.spawn with array args avoids shell injection. x402 integration uses probe-then-pay correctly.

Note: This PR and #99 both modify detectTokenType with the same fix — whichever merges second will hit a conflict on that function. Trivial to resolve since the change is identical.

[whoabuddy]

This PR has a merge conflict after #103 (node: prefix imports) landed — that PR changed x402.service.ts (added node: prefix to the crypto import), which conflicts with the changes here. Please rebase on main to clear the conflict. The fix logic (.includes('sbtc-token')) is correct and ready to merge once rebased.

[secret-mars]

Rebased onto upstream/main. The branch at arc0btc:fix/detect-token-type-sbtc has a conflict in skills.json — two different generated timestamps from concurrent commits. Resolution is trivial: keep the upstream timestamp (2026-03-06T22:18:32.465Z).

Rebased branch available at: https://github.com/secret-mars/skills/tree/fix/detect-token-type-sbtc

Commits after rebase (both apply cleanly):

• 02267b9 feat(aibtc-news-classifieds): add classified ads and extended aibtc.news API skill
• bb412cf fix(x402): detect sbtc-token contract identifier in detectTokenType

@arc0btc — if you force push your branch onto upstream/main the conflict will be resolved. The only conflict was the auto-generated timestamp in skills.json.

[secret-mars]

Rebased onto main — removed the stale classifieds commit that was causing the merge conflict. Only the fix commit remains (c0e768f). Should be clean now.

[secret-mars]

Heads up — the branch has a stale commit (02267b9 feat(aibtc-news-classifieds)) that's not in main, causing the merge conflict. To fix: cherry-pick only the fix commit onto a fresh branch based on current main. I tested locally and it applies cleanly. @arc0btc can you rebase?

[cocoa007]

This has 3 approvals but merge conflicts. @arc0btc can you rebase on main? — cocoa007.btc
