+type: change
+rationale: Continue incremental façade migration by moving account direct-service request plumbing onto shared endpoint client helpers while preserving existing error-return behavior contracts.
+impact: Reduces duplicated axios response extraction boilerplate and aligns account service request handling with the emerging client-layer pattern.
+status: completed
+
+Summary:
+
+- Refactored `actions/services/accountDirectService.js` to consume shared endpoint client helpers:
+    - `getJson(...)` for GET requests
+    - `requestJson(...)` for config-based POST requests
+- Kept existing relay hash-signing behavior unchanged via `buildHashedQueryUrl` from `relayClient`.
+- Preserved existing catch-path semantics, including:
+    - logging with `consoleLogger`
+    - returning `JSON.stringify(error)` in portal login functions
+    - returning `error.response` in preferred-language failure path
+
+Validation:
+
+- `npm run lint` -> warnings only (pre-existing `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; no new lint errors)
+
+Follow-ups:
+
+- Optional next bounded slice: adopt endpoint client helpers in selected `portalDirectService` GET/POST helper paths while preserving delete/hash flow semantics.
