Architecture

The broker pattern is older than the agentic-commerce headline

Stripe Shared Payment Tokens are the agentic-commerce headline, but anyone who ran a card tokenization rollout in 2014 recognizes the shape in five seconds. A scoped surrogate credential with a thin stable interface in front and brokered complexity behind is not new. Visa Token Service shipped it twelve years ago, and the architects who see the pattern early build the right systems instead of rebuilding every eighteen months.
