intent_register
Records a Consumer-approved Intent with the Intent Service and returns a stable reference usable across the payment lifecycle. WHAT THIS IS NOT: registration does not approve a payment, does not execute a transaction, does not accept risk, and does NOT capture Consumer consent. Consent lives in the signed credential (the mandate chain), not here. Register an Intent that already exists because the Consumer approved it. WHEN TO CALL: - After a mandate has been activated, to obtain a stable reference for the orders that will be fulfilled under it - Before a deferred or multi-merchant fulfilment, so each order can be tracked under one Intent Input: (optional) mandate_id, open_mandate_hash, vi_l2_fingerprint to correlate the Intent with the delegation it derives from; (optional) prompt_summary, correlation_id, expires_at Output: intent_id, intent_status (REGISTERED), created_at The calling agent is taken from the verified request signature, never from the arguments.
