//! The standing conversation: a place to think out loud with an agent between
//! tasks, reachable from a phone.
//!
//! This is a conversation that stays open. Ask a question, have the agent
//! read a file or run a command to check something, talk through an idea,
//! and when it is time to act, tell it to file the work rather than do it
//! here. The conversation does not end; it is what the operator opens the
//! next time something comes up.
//!
//! # Talking is not implementing
//!
//! Every turn here runs with `allow_write: false` by default, for a reason
//! that is not security, but attribution. An agent that edits a checkout
//! mid-conversation leaves a diff that belongs to no run and passed no
//! review, and on a repository entered into magi's blind competition that
//! makes every candidate's diff unjudgeable. That is why the default holds
//! regardless of what a repository's own `magi.toml` says about anything
//! else. When the operator wants a change made, the agent is told to run
//! `magi task add --solo` ([`briefing`]) rather than reach for an editor: the
//! change goes through magi's own queue, on the repository's own terms, and
//! the operator can watch it happen instead of trusting that it did.
//!
//! `[talk] allow_write` ([`crate::config::Talk::allow_write`]) lets a
//! specific repository opt out of that default - a dotfiles or personal
//! config checkout that is never entered into a competition and never
//! reviewed has nothing for the restriction to protect, and filing a task for
//! a one-line edit there is pure overhead. Turning it on does not turn this
//! conversation into an implementer: [`briefing`] still sends everything
//! bigger than a small, operator-named edit to the queue, and still tells the
//! agent to say what it changed.
//!
//! With `[talk] allow_write` on, a codex turn also runs unsandboxed
//! ([`turn_access`]), as a claude turn already does under `bypassPermissions`:
//! otherwise `magi task add` (writes to magi's queue under the home directory)
//! or `git fetch` is refused by the sandbox. Unattended seats never get this.
//!
//! `--solo` rather than a plain `magi task add` is the point of pairing this
//! module with [`crate::queue::Task::solo`]. A task that came out of a
//! conversation the operator just had is a decision already made, not a
//! design question worth three independent takes - so it runs through one
//! implementer and straight into review, the way [`crate::graph::Runner`]
//! already degrades a single-candidate run.
//!
//! # Shape
//!
//! The same split [`crate::queue`] uses: [`Talk`] is data plus pure helpers,
//! [`Talks`] owns the I/O and is constructed with its root, so every test
//! here drives a real store in a temp directory rather than the operator's
//! own home.

         Run:\n\n\
         magi task add --solo --repo {repo} <instruction>\n\n\
         and tell the operator the task id it prints, so they can follow it \
         from the Queue. If it refuses with a duplicate warning (the \
         instruction names a branch, commit or pull request that an \
         unfinished task, run or PR already owns), do not repeat it with \
         --force yourself: tell the operator what it matched and let them \
         decide. Write <instruction> so that an implementer who has \
         never seen this conversation can act on it alone - it is everything \
         they get. Use --solo: it runs the task through one implementer \
         straight into review instead of the usual multi-agent competition, \
         which is the right shape for a change this conversation has already \
         settled, rather than one still worth several independent takes.\n\n\
         If the operator asks for something in a different repository, \
         --repo does not have to be a full path: --repo owner/repo (or just \
         repo, when that is unambiguous) is resolved against local checkouts \
         the same way `magi repos` lists them. If the command fails because \
         nothing matches or more than one checkout shares that name, ask the \
         operator which repository they mean (or run `magi repos` yourself \
         to see the candidates) rather than guessing.\n\n\
         The current state of the code is whatever origin/main holds, not \
         whatever a working tree shows: a primary checkout often lags \
         upstream, sits on a detached HEAD and carries uncommitted changes. \
         Before answering about code, run `git fetch origin` in that \
         repository if it is cheap, then read through \
         `git show origin/main:<path>` or `git grep <pattern> origin/main`. \
         If the working tree differs, say so; if the fetch fails, say that \
         too, so the operator knows the answer may be stale.\n\n\
         If the operator attached an image (a screenshot, say) that the task \
         is about, pass it with `--attach <path>`, using the absolute path \
         the turn's attachment note gives; repeat the flag for several. \
         `magi task add --solo --attach <path> <instruction>` copies the \
         file into the task, so the implementer receives it. Do not paste the \
         path into <instruction> instead: deleting this conversation deletes \
         its attachments, and then that path reaches no one.\n",
