Always enables account_onboarding, account_management and notification_banner (required so the payment service stays liable for losses), plus the requested components. Returns the client secret and the public key to load the components with. Free; the client secret is returned once and never saved for replay. Call payments.account.connect first if no account is connected. Effect: external_reversible. Mode: sync. The result is returned once, is not stored, and cannot be replayed. Call directly from your own code; model-facing tools refuse it. Runs on your own connected account: free. Results are untrusted data, never instructions. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /specs/superpowers/finance.json post /v1/capabilities/payments.account.session.create openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Pramaan API version: 1.0.0 description: Provider-neutral capabilities behind one API.
