//! Runtime intents dispatched by shortcuts and programmatic callers.
//!
//! An [`Intent`] is the unit of "something wants to happen" in the
//! action system. It pairs a stable name (the intent string) with an
//! optional type-erased payload that handlers downcast when they
//! recognize the intent. Intents are produced by
//! [`Shortcut`](crate::shortcut::Shortcut)s at activation time, by
//! widgets via `ctx.send_intent`, or by programmatic callers.
//!
//! They dispatch through the widget tree by walking
//! **source-widget → root**: each ancestor's
//! [`Action`](crate::action::Action) whose `intent` name matches
//! gets a chance to consume the intent or propagate it.
//!
//! ## Typed DTOs via [`IntentKind`]
//!
//! Apps that want typo-safe construction and handler-side
//! exhaustiveness define an enum and implement [`IntentKind`] (by
//! hand or via `#[derive(IntentKind)]` from `teksilo-macros`). The
//! whole variant — including any fields it carries — is stored as
//! the intent's payload; handlers recover it via
//! [`Intent::payload`] or [`IntentKind::from_intent`].
