Compares two text strings using Soundex phonetic matching to determine whether they sound alike

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 kihustle-phonetic-matcher-soundex-79862797 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Do 'Smith' and 'Smyth' sound phonetically the same? Run a Soundex phonetic match on those two names and tell me whether they match.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, classical phonetic matching between exactly two strings using the Soundex algorithm — ideal for name deduplication, reconciliation of spelling variants, and fuzzy identity matching without requiring heavyweight NLP infrastructure. Prefer this over edit-distance or ML-based similarity when phonetic equivalence (how words sound) is the criterion, not spelling distance.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text_a or text_b fields may return an error or an indeterminate result
- Non-alphabetic input (numbers, special characters) may produce unexpected Soundex codes
- Very short single-character inputs may trivially match or not match in edge-case ways
- Service may return generic success status even when inputs are degenerate

## Output

A JSON object indicating whether the two input strings are a phonetic match according to the Soundex algorithm, with a 'result' field ('processed') and a 'status' field ('success'). The actual match outcome is embedded in the result payload.
