Selling as a taker

You take someone’s buy order: you lock sats, receive fiat, then release.

Take it:

mostro-cli --output json order take-buy --order <id> --yes        # --amount <fiat> for a range

Follow data.next_step:

`next_step`	Do
`pay_hold_invoice`	Pay `data.payment_request` (the hold invoice) with your wallet
`pay_bond_invoice`	Pay `data.payment_request` (taker bond); the hold invoice then comes as a message with `next_step: pay_hold_invoice`

Wait for the buyer’s fiat. The buyer adds an invoice if needed, pays the fiat and runs fiat-sent; you see the order go to fiat-sent (order info) and a fiat-sent-ok message.

Check that the money arrived, then release (irreversible):

mostro-cli --output json order release --order <id> --yes

If something goes wrong

Situation	What to do
The buyer never sends fiat	Cancel cooperatively (`order cancel`) or open a dispute
You did not pay the hold invoice	Nothing of yours is locked; the node will not keep the trade open forever (its timeouts apply). `order info` shows the current status
`take-buy` returned `uncertain` with `order_not_saved`	`data.payment_request` is still the hold invoice; the local row is missing. Fix the store, then use `order info`. Commands that need the row fail with `order_unknown` until it exists
