purl: a curl-esque CLI for making HTTP requests that require payment

A couple questions:

- The default seems to make the payment without confirmation. What stops an endpoint from changing payment amount between an inspect request and the actual request?

- Will adoption of this payment protocol ever grow large enough for anyone to implement this on either the client or server?

- Bots have more of a financial incentive to crawl sites than a human. I doubt this will actually stop anything

- I see a AGENTS.md. How much of this is vibe coded? It's near impossible to get a sense of the care taken to review LLM output. Hard to trust with money.
