Check encoded move

alchemy --json --no-interactive evm contract read \
  $PATHLOCK_CONTRACT \
  isLegalMove \
  --args "[\"$MATCH_ID\",\"$ENCODED_MOVE\"]" \
  --abi-file ./Pathlock.abi.json \
  -n arbitrum-sepolia

Submit Pathlock move

alchemy --json --no-interactive evm contract call \
  $PATHLOCK_CONTRACT \
  submitMove \
  --args "[\"$MATCH_ID\",\"$ENCODED_MOVE\",\"$EXPECTED_TURN\"]" \

  --signer session \
  --gas-sponsored \
  --gas-policy-id "$PATHLOCK_GAS_POLICY_ID" \
  -n arbitrum-sepolia

Claim timeout win

alchemy --json --no-interactive evm contract call \
  $PATHLOCK_CONTRACT \
  claimTimeoutWin \
  --args "[\"$MATCH_ID\"]" \
  --abi-file ./Pathlock.abi.json \
  --signer session \

  --gas-policy-id "$PATHLOCK_GAS_POLICY_ID" \
  -n arbitrum-sepolia

Forfeit Pathlock match

alchemy --json --no-interactive evm contract call \
  $PATHLOCK_CONTRACT \

  --gas-sponsored \
  --gas-policy-id "$PATHLOCK_GAS_POLICY_ID" \
  -n arbitrum-sepolia

The turn clock is per match (default 10 minutes) from the last accepted move. The waiting player may claim a timeout win on expiry; anyone may finalize a match abandoned for twice the timeout. submitMove requires the expectedTurn you planned against — read it from getAgentTurnState first.
