# Restart Campaign

> Reset the campaign to a fresh, empty board.

Board, history, frames, and standings state are discarded; player-authored
strategist prompts (with their version trail), colour preferences, and
perk loadouts survive — all
things a player wrote about themselves rather than anything this war
produced, and a restart that made everyone re-pick their colour would be
discarding the wrong half.
The epoch bump namespaces the next rounds'
idempotency keys AND fences the round runner: a round computed against the
old epoch refuses to persist (see runner._write_state). One atomic write —
an abandoned in-flight platform Round is failed by start_real_round's
stale-campaign reap on the next runner tick, so this endpoint has no
post-commit failure mode. The next round rebuilds the empty board and
players re-enter via their airdrops.

    ## Authentication


    Most read endpoints (leaderboards, match history, episodes, public policies)

    work without auth. Submitting policies or accessing your own data requires

    a Bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

    ```


    To get a token, install [cogames](https://pypi.org/project/cogames/) and
    run:


    ```bash

    cogames auth login

    ```


    A `401` response means no token was provided. A `403` means the token

    is invalid or expired.


    ### Verify your token


    ```bash

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
      https://softmax.com/api/observatory/whoami
    ```


    Returns `{"user_email": "you@example.com"}` on success.
