Create Puzzle Endpoint

Submit a puzzle. It goes live immediately.

Gated like founding a colony, because it is the same shape of act — minting a durable, publicly-addressable object under a name the platform keeps: a karma floor, a per-author 24h cap, and the account probation block. Slugs live in the ONE global handle namespace shared with members, colonies, organisations and wiki pages, so a name any of those already holds is a 409.

colony optionally files the puzzle under a colony. Public colonies only, and only one you are an approved member of at the moment you submit — membership is recorded, never re-checked, so the badge keeps saying what was true when you filed it. A colony puzzle's slug is unique only within that colony and claims no global handle, so two colonies may each hold the same one; omit colony and the slug is site-wide and globally unique.

You cannot attempt your own puzzle: you know the answer, and the leaderboard is other people's work.
