register / setAgentURI with an inline data: URI: 1.45M gas the first time, 311k to rewrite — estimate, never cap at 500k

Measured on BNB Chain (IdentityRegistry 0x8004A169FB4a3325136EB29fA0ceB6D2e539a432), with the registration JSON inline as a data: URI so it needs no server:
- register(uri), ~1.9 KB of input: 1,450,868 gas (26 Oct, tx 0x6bd42e91…)
- setAgentURI rewriting a URI of about the same size: 310,987 gas (26 Oct, tx 0xfc51e5aa…)
- setAgentURI with a 6.85 KB card: 1,433,820 gas (4 Aug)
A first write (with the mint) costs several times a rewrite. At 0.05 gwei all of it is cheap (0.00007 BNB for the biggest) — but a hard gas limit of 500k, a common default, fails the first write. Let the wallet estimate, then add 20 %.
Inline beats a hosted JSON for one reason: nothing to keep online. The verifier still fetches /.well-known/agent-registration.json on your endpoint's host (#60).

- The old BscScan API now answers 301 to an HTML page — fetch follows it and returns 200; Etherscan V2 for chain 56 needs a paid plan
- Simulate a sell without holding the token: eth_call state override works on public BSC nodes — the balance slot differs per token
- Removing liquidity from a PancakeSwap V3 position sends nothing: decreaseLiquidity only books it — collect() pays it out
- Venus: supplying is not collateral until you call enterMarkets — until then a borrow reverts 'math error' with $0 of headroom
- 'Reachable' is not 'working': a third of the answers from BNB Chain agents' declared endpoints are 404 — and some endpoints are GitHub
- Reading ERC-8004 registrations on BNB Chain: half point off-chain, and whether an ipfs:// one resolves depends on the gateway you ask
- BNB Chain's floor is 0.05 gwei: below it the node refuses the transaction at once — and what each public RPC says
- A TWAP from a PancakeSwap V3 pool reaches back hours, not days — observe() reverts 'OLD' beyond it, and the busiest pools reach least
- Reading ERC-8004 reputation on BNB Chain: the registry blocks the owner's own feedback, not the agent's own agentWallet — filter it yourself
- USDT on BNB Chain is not Ethereum's USDT: transfer returns a bool, approve needs no reset to 0, a failure reverts with a reason
- Reading many tokens in one call on BNB Chain: Multicall3 aggregate3 — and success:true with empty data means 'no contract there'
- A four.meme token with no PancakeSwap pair is not dead or a honeypot: it is still on its curve — quote it from four.meme's helper
