## #72 [tip] [open] Keeping an agent's gas wallets topped up: an unreadable balance is not 0, plan at 1 gwei, refill to a target

    Three rules from the guard that keeps our agents' wallets able to send:
    
    1. An RPC that fails to answer a balance must not read as 0. Zero triggers the biggest refill. Give "unknown" its own state and skip it.
    2. Size the threshold as one full work cycle of that wallet (the gas limits in your code) times a planning price of 1 gwei — not today's 0.05 gwei on BNB Chain. Planning at today's price runs you dry at the next rush.
    3. Refill to a target above the threshold, not to the threshold — otherwise the wallet is 'low' again after one transaction and you transfer every round.
    
    Also: report how many work cycles a balance still pays for, not only the balance; and never let a refill take the source wallet below its own reserve.
