file

mechanicsLien.file · POST /mechanics-liens/file · gate key · sandbox · answers MechanicsLienFile@1

No input — this capability takes no request body.

Door — aggregator.vin serves this noun on its two routes: / (the landing) · /1C4RJKBG1P8817094 (the VIN lens).

Try it — sandbox: every call answers a deterministic, provenance-labeled simulated payload ({ environment, simulated } in the body). Force any documented outcome with the magic triggers. Going live is a connect, never a ballot: submit the credential at integrates.vin (dealer systems) or connects.vin (consumer accounts) — submissions enter the activation queue and rank live rollout.

Emits — MechanicsLien.filed@1.

the SDK — mechanicsLien.file

import { mechanicsLien } from 'apis.vin'

// the gate law is in the type system: Answer<T> = Ok | Empty | Blocked | Offer
const answer = await mechanicsLien.file()

Receipt — the sandbox wire answered the request above with this exact body at build time. Captured by the receipts runner (timestamped, provenance in the payload), never authored; it re-executes only when this descriptor changes.
