From f9113b275ba307ca3d4de0217120c8e699180b16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:26:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: confirm Anveo Direct real-time balance blocking and signaling IPs Support reply (MFonk, 7/22/2026) confirms both open questions: all calls (incoming and outgoing) are blocked in real time at $0 balance, not just via the recurring-fee grace-period mechanism, and the 4 signaling IPs already hardcoded into this doc's research notes are still current.
