## 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 the-synthetic-self-pinned-edition-section-reader-54a64646 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch section 'chapter-3' from The Synthetic Self using edition digest 'sha256-abc123def456' and give me the plain-text content with its integrity hash.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically access a specific, verifiable plain-text section of The Synthetic Self book with edition integrity guarantees. Prefer it over generic document retrieval when you need content hashing, edition pinning, and personal/internal reading rights enforcement on a per-section basis. Not suitable for bulk book downloads, redistribution workflows, or image/layout-rich content needs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown sectionId returns an error indicating the section does not exist
- Mismatched or unrecognized editionDigest causes a rejection due to edition pinning mismatch
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access to the reading unit
- Section has no content or is outside reading rights scope, returning a rights restriction error
- Long sections may require additional calls with incremented part numbers to retrieve all content

## How this service works
