## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fortclaw-start-territory-game-session-246df8ee -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Start a new FortClaw territory game for me in tortuga — use my invite code CLAW42 and wallet address 0xABC123 to register.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to initialize a brand-new FortClaw territory game session. This is the required first step before any other game actions (movement, combat, territory capture). Must be called once per wallet per game cycle; the city world choice is permanent after this call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or already-used city selection (city cannot be changed after start)
- Missing or invalid wallet address when x-wallet header is not set
- Invalid invite code format or expired invite
- Payment failure — $9 USDC payment not processed or insufficient balance
- Attempting to start a duplicate session for the same wallet
