# `WardrikChannel.Outbound`

A message for the adapter to post, in `thread` of `room`, or in the room itself if `thread` is
`nil`. See `c:WardrikChannel.deliver/2`.

`body` is one of:

  * `{:reply, text, answering}` - the agent's answer, and the IDs of the messages it answers.
  * `{:status, label}` - what the agent is doing, in a few words. Shown until the next post.
  * `{:stopped, answering}` - a run stopped before answering those messages.
  * `{:waiting, [%WardrikChannel.Waiting{}]}` - calls the agent waits on a person for.
  * `{:failed, reason}` - why a run failed.
  * `{:said, text}` - a line about what happened, such as who decided a call.
  * `{:notice, %Wardrik.Notice{}}` - what an agent did while nobody watched. Posted in the room.
    Read its calls with `WardrikChannel.Waiting.from_notice/1`.

`approvers` are who a waiting call asks, as the chat app names people. An adapter that can ask
each of them directly should, and say in the thread who it waits on.

# `body`

```elixir
@type body() ::
  {:reply, String.t(), [String.t()]}
  | {:status, String.t()}
  | {:stopped, [String.t()]}
  | {:waiting, [WardrikChannel.Waiting.t()]}
  | {:failed, String.t()}
  | {:said, String.t()}
  | {:notice, Wardrik.Notice.t()}
```

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %WardrikChannel.Outbound{
  approvers: [String.t()] | :anyone,
  body: body(),
  installation: Wardrik.Channel.Installation.t(),
  room: String.t(),
  thread: String.t() | nil
}
```
