## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Scribed/PennyPress's editorial definition of the term 'lawfare' and are comfortable with a $0.01 USDC micropayment. Prefer this over general-purpose web search when you want a curated, machine-readable, publication-specific definition rather than a scraped or synthesized answer.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled — 402 response if USDC micropayment of $0.01 is not completed
- Term not found — if the endpoint only covers the 'lawfare' slug, other terms will 404
- Empty or placeholder gloss — response may return '(delivered after payment)' if payment flow is incomplete
- Network timeout — endpoint may be slow if PennyPress infrastructure is under load
