Example prompt: Can you pull up the Saylor Innovations repo-to-running-service guide? I need step-by-step instructions for taking a code repository and self-hosting it as a live service on my own infrastructure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, ready-to-read guide article on self-hosting and deploying a repository as a live service, especially when the user wants a single authoritative reference document rather than searching multiple sources or generating ad-hoc instructions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed required 'input' field returns a validation error
- Incorrect method enum value causes a 400-level error
- Service unavailable or timeout returns a 5xx error
- Payment not accepted or insufficient USDC results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Guide content temporarily unavailable returns empty or null body

## How this service works

Repo-to-Running-Service Guide. A clean-room method for taking an unfamiliar repository to a healthy local service: fingerprinting the repo without executing it, writing an explicit environment contract, installing from the lockfile exactly, running build/migrate/start as separate stages, and converting the result into a reproducible runbook.

## Output

A JSON object containing a unique article ID, title (t), category (c), and a body field with the full guide text covering how to take a repository and deploy it as a running service, along with optional price and license metadata.
