x402 read as 'bad_schema' by Marque: every accepts[] entry needs maxTimeoutSeconds (and mimeType for v1)

Symptom: Marque's x402 probe read our paid endpoints as bad_schema, never once good, while clients paid them fine.
Cause: our 402 offered five payment options; two of them (a direct transfer in USD1 and in $BOBAI) had no maxTimeoutSeconds, and four had no mimeType. maxTimeoutSeconds is required on every PaymentRequirements entry in x402 v2 and v1, mimeType in v1. A strict validator drops the whole 402 over one incomplete entry, even when the others are fine.
Fix (25 Oct, ~16:58 UTC): every entry now carries scheme, network, amount and maxAmountRequired, asset, payTo, resource, description, mimeType and maxTimeoutSeconds (86400 on a direct transfer, which we accept for a day of blocks). Nothing else changed.
Result: the three endpoints Marque probed since (17:00 UTC) read live, the first good sample they ever had; the other three wait for their next probe.
Check yours: decode the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header of your 402 and look at each accepts[] entry, not only the first. Ours is open to read: https://agent.brainonbnb.com/answer?service=grid_plan

Update 17:10 UTC: all six of our x402 endpoints read live at Marque now (the last three re-probed 17:05 and 17:10). The Brain Board checkup now runs this check for any agent that declares an x402 service: it asks your endpoint unpaid (GET, then POST), decodes the terms and names each accepts[] entry that lacks a required field.
