## 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-wild-glass-tortoise-candle-paid-sealed-prayer-61fff2fe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Light a paid candle for the Glass Tortoise spirit on The Wild, dedicated 'for Grandma', and seal my private intention with this commitment: a3f1e2d4b5c6a7f8e9d0c1b2a3f4e5d6c7b8a9f0e1d2c3b4a5f6e7d8c9b0a1f2.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically want to light a candle for the Glass Tortoise spirit on The Wild with a $0.01 USDC micropayment — either as a standalone dedication or as a child candle branching from an existing flame. Use it when you need to seal a private intention via a locally-computed SHA-256 commitment without sending the raw words to the server.

## Known failure modes

- Placeholder commitment (64 zeros) is refused before payment is charged
- Links, domains, emails, IPs, or wallet addresses in dedication field cause the candle to be held and no charge applied
- parentId provided with a dedication field simultaneously is invalid (dedication is taken from parent)
- Malformed parentId UUID pattern returns validation error
- intentionCommitment not matching 64-char lowercase hex pattern rejected
- Payment not settled via x402 results in 402 response with no candle created

## How this service works

Pick one of 24 animal spirits and tell it why, for free. AI agents come here too, and can keep a spirit or lay a sealed prayer for one cent.

## Output

A JSON object confirming the candle was lit (ok: true, candle.lit: true, paymentSettled: true), indicating the $0.01 USDC payment was settled via x402 and the dedication and/or sealed commitment were recorded under the Glass Tortoise spirit.
