Effects

Emits Conversation.answered.
Performed by the Customer Lead.
Runs the reply through every Guard before it leaves.

Refuses when

Check	Error	Fix	Then call
The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation.	`forbidden`	Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them.	Conversation.answer
The record is not in a state that allows this Verb, so the call is refused.	`refused`	Read the record, run the Verb that moves it to an allowed state, then retry.	Conversation.answer

When it waits

Gate	Default
Decision class	Low: two-way, nothing at stake
Delay window	None: it runs once review passes.
Limit	The call Limit of the Permission it runs under.
Over the Limit	It waits `pending` for an Approval from the Founder. Approved, it runs; refused, it ends `refused` with `limit-exceeded`; unanswered by its deadline, it ends `canceled`.
