Create makes a new Mandate from the inputs below. It is inherited: every Noun has get, list, create, update and delete.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
`expiresAt`	`datetime`	required	When it lapses.
`limit`	Limit		The Limit that bounds it.
`verb`	`string`		The Verb it covers, as `Noun.verb`.
`topics`	`string[]`		What it may act on; an Action outside them becomes an Approval.
`channels`	list of Channel		The Channels it may send through.
`agent`	Agent		A Mandate lets an Agent act without asking each time, within its Permissions and Limits, until it expires or is revoked.
`party`	Party		The Party who grants a Mandate is its principal: the Agent acts for them, and each Action records them as `for`.

Outputs

Output	Type	Required	Description
`mandate`	Mandate	required	The Mandate.

Effects

Emits Mandate.created.
Two-way: try, send, do.

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.	Mandate.create

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`.
