showcase(acp-live-iclone-vegeta): two agents, one real $0.10 ACP trade on Base — video + on-chain receipts

[devclone20]

ACP LIVE — iCLONE × VEGETA: one real trade, staged and receipted

New showcase entry: showcase/acp-live-iclone-vegeta/ — topic commerce.

Two autonomous agents run a complete economic action on the Virtuals ACP
marketplace, live on camera: VEGETA (buyer) hires iCLONE (seller) for a
tokenResearchDeep job, funds a $0.10 USDC escrow on Base mainnet, the
seller delivers, the buyer verifies against the ledger and releases payment.

This is the follow-up promised on #96: the auto-review there noted the
showcase "tends to feature agents that have completed a specific economic
action". This entry is exactly that — same builder, but the agents themselves
completing a paid job, with public proof.

The action, on-chain (job #70984):

• Phase trail created → budget.set → funded → submitted → completed, with the
  completion reason decoding to Approved — full details with UTC timestamps in
  proof/receipts.md.
• Escrow funding (0.10 USDC): 0x7d0bf86a…3722
• Payout to seller after approval (0.09 USDC): 0x132ad43f…fcc9
• Bonus dogfooding: the paid deliverable is a research report on VIRTUAL itself.

The show (0:50 video, visual.videoUrl, self-hosted raw file): the whole
trade with the two agents' live ticker cards — Act I lights, Act II the trade,
Act III receipts, Act IV curtain. OCR-audited frame by frame before publishing.

Reusable skill: skills/acp-live-show/ — the two pi personas, the four-act
stage prompt and the host-side detached-trade wrapper, with install notes and
the safety law kept intact (owner-approval token gate, one trade per show,
never retry a funds-moving trade).

Checks: node scripts/validate-showcase.mjs green (58 manifests). Video field
pattern follows #105 (single visual.videoUrl, no links.video).

The contributor guide recommends a specific set of topics (commerce, agents, skills, security). To keep things consistent across the showcase, let's trim this to just the ones that apply from that set.

This is a fantastic submission, and a perfect example of what we look for in the showcase. The on-chain receipts and the video showing the two agents trading make the economic action really clear and easy to verify. Great work.

Just one small thing I noticed in the proof file: the timestamps for the job phases seem to be dated for 2026. The linked BaseScan transactions show the correct 2024 dates, so it looks like just a small typo in the markdown. I've left a few suggestions inline to correct them.

Suggested edits (couldn't be anchored inline — copy manually)

Looks like these timestamps have a typo in the year — the linked BaseScan transactions are from 2024. Let's update these to match.

Refreshed after a new push. Any inline suggestions from the first pass may now be stale.

Thanks for the kind words and the sharp packaging notes — all three applied in 50e8da6:

• host/demo-trade moved out of the skill folder → it now lives in the builder's repo at agentic-teams-pi/examples/acp-live-show (script + its own README), and SKILL.md links out to it. The skill folder is Markdown-only now.
• topics trimmed to the guide set → ["commerce", "agents"], exactly as the inline suggestion.
• share now points at the announcement post → https://x.com/icloneframe/status/2085424534992138657 (the demo's video post on X).

validate-showcase.mjs still green over all 58 manifests.

Round 2 addressed in 0c2ea95:

• Tagline — took the optional suggestion: it now leads with the verb ("Stage one real $0.10 ACP trade on Base — …").
• The 2026 timestamps are the real capture, not a typo — the job ran on 2026-08-06, and the two BaseScan transactions linked in proof/receipts.md carry those exact timestamps on-chain (funding at 17:02:57 UTC, payout at 17:04:03 UTC). Rewriting the dates would break the match with the ledger, so they stay as recorded.
• The share link is live — X blocks most server-side fetchers, which is probably why it looked broken from the runner. The official oEmbed endpoint resolves it: publish.twitter.com/oembed?url=…/status/2085424534992138657 returns the post (author: iCLONE). Keeping the specific announcement post rather than falling back to the profile, since the guide prefers a concrete share target.
