## Usage Example

```rust
use agentic_payments::ap2::*;
use ed25519_dalek::SigningKey;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Initialize protocol
    let mut protocol = Ap2Protocol::new();

    // Register participants
    let user_key = SigningKey::generate(&mut rand::rngs::OsRng);
    let user = protocol.register_agent(
        "alice",
        user_key.verifying_key().to_bytes().to_vec(),
    )?;

    let merchant_key = SigningKey::generate(&mut rand::rngs::OsRng);
    let merchant = protocol.register_agent(
        "merchant",
        merchant_key.verifying_key().to_bytes().to_vec(),
    )?;

    // Create intent mandate (user authorization)
    let intent = protocol.create_intent_mandate(
        &user,
        &merchant.did,
        "Purchase items from merchant",
        user_key.as_bytes(),
    )?;

    // Create cart mandate (explicit purchase)
    let items = vec![
        CartItem::new("laptop".to_string(), "Laptop".to_string(), 1, 89999),
    ];
    let cart = protocol.create_cart_mandate(
        &user,
        items,
        89999,
        "USD",
        user_key.as_bytes(),
    )?;

    // Create payment mandate (payment signal)
    let payment = protocol.create_payment_mandate(
        &user,
        &merchant.did,
        89999,
        "USD",
        "credit_card",
        user_key.as_bytes(),
    )?;

    // Create complete authorization
    let authorization = PaymentAuthorization::new(intent, cart, payment);

    // Verify chain
    assert!(authorization.verify_chain(protocol.did_resolver())?);

    // Verify with multi-agent consensus
    let verifiers = create_verifiers(&mut protocol, 5);
    let result = protocol
        .verify_payment_authorization(&authorization, verifiers)
        .await?;

    println!("Payment verified: {}/{} consensus",
