1//! What a staged draft is *answering*, recovered from the session that staged it.
2//!
3//! "A message's reviewable object is the message" was half a rule. A reply's
4//! reviewable object is the reply **and the thing it replies to**: a staged
5//! `mail_reply` carries a body and a `thread_id`, and a `thread_id` addresses
6//! the provider rather than the reviewer, so the queue asked people to approve
7//! a letter without showing them the letter it answers. Deciding "is this the
8//! right reply?" without the original is approving unread in the one way the
9//! draft view was built to prevent.
10//!
11//! Nothing needed recording to fix it. The drafting run *read* the thread
12//! before it wrote the reply, the item already names the session, and the
13//! transcript already holds the result. The link existed; nobody followed it.
14//!
15//! Four decisions carry this, each a bug if undone:
16//!
17//! - **The transcript, never a live re-fetch.** A reviewer needs the bytes the
18//!   model drafted *from*, not today's version of the thread — a reply judged
19//!   against different text than it was written against is the wrong-bytes
20//!   review that [`OutboxItem::workspace`] exists to stop, arriving through the
21//!   other door. It also keeps `outbox show` what it is: a store read, with no
22//!   network, no MCP startup and no OAuth refresh behind a display.
23//!
24//! - **The join is exact, and knows nothing about mail.** The key is
25//!   [`provider_ids`] — the staged call's string arguments that are neither
26//!   addressing nor prose — matched by *key and value* against earlier
27//!   `tool_use` inputs in the same session. `thread_id == thread_id` finds the
28//!   read; `account == account` would have found every call in the session,
29//!   which is why the header fields are excluded rather than merely deprioritised.
30//!   No tool name is special-cased anywhere in this file, so a Slack thread or
31//!   a document a draft quotes joins on the same rule the day it is added.
32//!
33//! - **Only calls the draft could have been written from count.** The walk
34//!   stops at the staging call itself, found by exact `(name, args_before)`
35//!   match — otherwise the staged `mail_reply` joins to itself on its own
36//!   `thread_id` and the reviewer is shown "Drafted, not sent…" as the message
37//!   being answered.
38//!
39//! - **It is third-party text and is shown as third-party text.** These bytes
40//!   armed the conversation's `untrusted` leg, and the item's taint snapshot
41//!   already says so. Printing them to a person in a terminal is the safe
42//!   context — the front door's reasoning for why `show` prints a stranger's
43//!   prose while the privileged run never sees it — but they must never be
44//!   mistaken for the assistant's words, so every surface renders them under a
45//!   heading that names the tool they came from. Nothing here re-enters a
46//!   prompt, and taint is untouched: this is the same recorded content that was
47//!   already accounted for when it arrived.
