## 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 synthex-forge-governance-settle-4032eb97 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Settle governance lease abc-lease-9821 on Synthex Forge — we actually spent $47.50 on it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to finalize and record the actual expenditure against a pre-existing Synthex Forge governance lease. This is the correct endpoint after budget has been allocated and real spend is known, as opposed to creating a new lease or querying lease status. Prefer this over generic bookkeeping APIs when your workflow requires Ed25519-signed, on-chain-attested settlement records for governance or compliance purposes.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown lease_id returns an error
- actual_amount missing or non-numeric causes a 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers an HTTP 402 payment-required response
- Attempting to settle an already-settled lease may return a conflict or error
- Network or chain issues on Base mainnet may delay or fail the signed artifact generation

## How this service works

Synthex Forge x402 Receive: 41 paid verification, attestation and governance endpoints (Ed25519 + SHA-256 signed artifacts) plus free verify/public-key/standard sibling routes. Paid routes answer HTTP 402 with an x402 v2 `payment-required` envelope (atomic USDC on Base mainnet, chain ID 8453). Free routes are declared with `security: []` per the x402scan discovery spec.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean indicating whether the lease settlement was successfully recorded. On success, the response is cryptographically signed (Ed25519 + SHA-256) per the Synthex Forge attestation standard.
