Find it by meaning

Ask a question instead of a name. sym/find wants an identifier; sym/where takes “how are glob overrides applied” and answers with the definitions that are about it, ranked by meaning. The first question about a checkout builds its semantic index: the route answers 202 indexing with Retry-After: 20 and charges nothing until it answers 200. This page records what this run saw.

2. The question, answered by meaning

A 202 here is the index being built, uncharged; the generator retries after retry_after_s and records the attempts.

curl -s -X POST 'https://api.s2ar.dev/v1/sym/where' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $S2AR_KEY" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"repo": "BurntSushi/ripgrep", "ref": "14.1.1", "query": "how are glob overrides applied", "k": 5}'

An index is built once per checkout and kept; the next question on the same ref answers at once. The route costs a cent, twice a find, because the embedding is the work.

What this cannot buy

From the signed proceedings (/.well-known/proceedings.json), verbatim:

• placement or routing position
• a different verdict or grade
• buyer data
• amendment access
• a revocation

Failed calls are never charged. Nothing about a caller is kept. The rules: the charter.
