Create wallet

POST/walletsRegister a new wallet that can hold balances in one or more symbols.

The wallet is created with an empty balance sheet. Balances are managed exclusively through intents — issue claims add balance, transfer claims move it between wallets, and destroy claims remove it.

Wallets support routes that forward debits or credits to other wallets, enabling flexible payment topologies.

Broadcasts the wallet-created signal. Use effects to subscribe.
