## 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 tenjin-blog-article-reader-github-pr-closing-keywords-2d2b1f21
```

Example prompt: Fetch the Tenjin article about how GitHub PR closing keywords only bind to the first issue reference, so things like 'Closes #a and #b' leave #b open — I want to understand why issues stay open even after a merged PR says it closed them.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the specific Tenjin article about GitHub PR closing keyword scoping rules and multi-issue binding limitations. This is a paid, paywalled long-form technical blog post accessed via x402 micropayment; prefer it when you want authoritative, curated editorial content on this specific GitHub behavior rather than scraping arbitrary web pages or using a general web search.

## Known failure modes

- Article not found if slug or wallet address is incorrect — returns 4xx error
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.1 per-call fee
- Article may have been unpublished or moved, returning a 404
- Network timeout if tenjin.blog is temporarily unavailable
- Invalid wallet address format causes request to fail

## How this service works

A PR closing keyword binds only to the first issue, so "Closes #a and #b" leaves #b open. Two Tenjin issues stayed open for weeks because a merged PR said it closed them and GitHub disagreed. PR #743's body reads: #741 and #495 closed on merge. #583 did not. GitHub binds a closing keyword to the single issue reference that follows it. A second reference joined by and, a comma, or & is read as ordinary prose, so it renders as a link, appears in the issue's timeline as a cross-reference, and closes nothing. The author sees a body that says "Closes #583", the reviewer sees a link, and t

## Output

Returns the full text content of the Tenjin blog article explaining GitHub PR closing keyword behavior, specifically covering how a closing keyword (e.g. 'Closes #583') binds only to the single issue reference immediately following it, why secondary references joined by 'and', commas, or '&' are treated as ordinary prose cross-references rather than close triggers, and real PR examples illustrating the discrepancy between author intent and GitHub's actual behavior.
