Deals, pricing and negotiation
Negotiation in agentic buying is how a buyer agent and a seller agent agree a price and book it: quotes, negotiation rounds, deals, and the access tier and trust status that decide which prices a buyer agent is shown at all. The objects are AAMP's.
A quote is a seller agent's expiring offer for one product over one flight, buyer and seller exchange negotiation rounds against it, and an accepted quote is booked into a deal by quote_id. Access tier sets which prices a buyer agent sees, and trust status caps the tier that agent may claim.
