This package is an adopter of the AlgoVoi substrate. It binds a categorical
pre-payment decision (ALLOW / DENY) to a content-addressed agent reference
(agent_ref), a spend-authority reference (mandate_ref), and a pinned policy
reference (policy_bound_ref) using the substrate's canonical RFC 8785 JCS +
SHA-256 hash. The canonicalisation base and the three input references are
imported by hash and are not modified.

This is the LITE (open, unsigned) tier. The commercial AlgoVoi Spend Guardrail
adds Falcon-1024 post-quantum signing on the decision receipt, the maintained
verifier, and the full authorization stack (Agent Passport + Payment Mandate
enforcement).

Canonical conformance vectors: conformance/spend_guardrail_lite_v1/vectors.json,
composed over a published policy_bound_ref from algovoi-policy-binding.
