Appends the machine's half of the record, and the
idea citation is the load-bearing field: it is what lets a reader see that the
conception came first. An entry citing no idea is refused rather than filed.

## Request

21 fields, body `application/json` (required).

| Field                               | In   | Type                           | Required | Description                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `implementations`                   | body | patent.PatentImplementation\[] | —        | Implementations are the records to append, at most 2000.                                                                                     |
| `implementations[].artifact_sha256` | body | string                         | —        | ArtifactSHA256 is the digest of the recorded artifact — a diff, a file, a build — when the caller has one and wants it addressed by content. |
| `implementations[].authored_by`     | body | string                         | —        | AuthoredBy is the validated principal who recorded this.                                                                                     |
| `implementations[].canonical`       | body | boolean                        | —        | Canonical is DERIVED on read.                                                                                                                |
| `implementations[].content_hash`    | body | string                         | —        | ContentHash is the server's digest of the recorded content.                                                                                  |
| `implementations[].generated`       | body | boolean                        | —        | Generated says the recorded artifact was produced with a model's assistance rather than typed by hand.                                       |
| `implementations[].git_branch`      | body | string                         | —        | GitBranch is the branch that commit was on.                                                                                                  |
| `implementations[].git_dirty`       | body | boolean                        | —        | GitDirty says the working tree carried uncommitted changes when this was recorded.                                                           |
| `implementations[].git_sha`         | body | string                         | —        | GitSHA is the commit.                                                                                                                        |
| `implementations[].human_review`    | body | string                         | —        | HumanReview is what a person did with the output: accepted, edited, rewritten, or none.                                                      |
| `implementations[].id`              | body | string                         | —        | ID is this implementation's stable id — usually the artifact or change it records, e.g. router-v2-generated.                                 |
| `implementations[].idea_ids`        | body | string\[]                      | —        | IdeaIDs names the conceptions this implements.                                                                                               |
| `implementations[].model`           | body | string                         | —        | Model names the system that produced the code, as it was addressed.                                                                          |
| `implementations[].notes`           | body | string                         | —        | Notes is anything a later reader needs.                                                                                                      |
| `implementations[].project`         | body | string                         | —        | Project is the SERVER's scope value.                                                                                                         |
| `implementations[].prompt_sha256`   | body | string                         | —        | PromptSHA256 is the digest of the prompt, not the prompt.                                                                                    |
| `implementations[].recorded_at`     | body | string                         | —        | RecordedAt is the server's clock.                                                                                                            |

| `implementations[].revision`        | body | string                         | —        | Revision is original, corrected or retracted.                                                                                                |
| `implementations[].seq`             | body | integer (int64)                | —        | Seq is the append order, which is what GET /v1/patent/proof compares against the cited ideas.                                                |
| `implementations[].visibility`      | body | string                         | —        | Visibility is private, org or public; forced private on a write.                                                                             |

`200` body — 3 fields.

| Field       | In   | Type            | Always | Description                                                               |

| `canonical` | body | integer (int64) | —      | Canonical is how many entries the org's log now holds for this kind.      |
| `project`   | body | string          | —      | Project is the scope the batch was filed under, as the server decided it. |
| `recorded`  | body | integer (int64) | —      | Recorded is how many new versions this call appended.                     |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo patent implementations create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, PatentApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new PatentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postPatentImplementations({ implementations: [{"artifact_sha256":"<artifact_sha256>","authored_by":"<authored_by>","canonical":false,"content_hash":"<content_hash>"}] });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import PatentApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = PatentApi(client).post_patent_implementations(implementations=[{"artifact_sha256":"<artifact_sha256>","authored_by":"<authored_by>","canonical":false,"content_hash":"<content_hash>"}])
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.PatentAPI.PostPatentImplementations(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, patent_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = patent_api::post_patent_implementations(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.PatentApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new PatentApi(client).postPatentImplementations();
```

The method above is the one at the current release of the document. `hanzoai@8.5.914` (npm) and `hanzoai@8.5.914` (PyPI) were generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree. [SDKs →](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/sdks)

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/implementations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "implementations": [
         {
           "artifact_sha256": "<artifact_sha256>",
           "authored_by": "<authored_by>",
           "canonical": false,
           "content_hash": "<content_hash>"
         }
       ]
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **patent** through the `patent` tool, which names its 12 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_patent_approvals"
         }
       }
     }'
```
