 - A bound Room must hold each slot type identically in its own `settings/schema.yaml`, beside any other types, or its binding warns the User who bound it, and `apps/bindings/list` names that release and slot in its `mismatch` line, to the App's owner too. Write it with `files_batch` before binding; `rooms/create` makes a new Room.

+How a function reads its Room's local time and turns a date and time there into a moment and back, with no time-zone library.
+
+- **The event.** Beside `moment`, the UTC instant `Date` reads, the event carries the Room's `time_zone`, such as `Europe/Kyiv`, and the moment's `date` (`YYYY-MM-DD`) and `time` (`HH:MM:SS`) there, so the same day is the Room's day: `order.fields.delivery === event.date`.
+- **To a moment.** `await house.toMoment({ date: '2026-11-10', time: '13:00' })` answers the ISO instant of a date and an `HH:MM` or `HH:MM:SS` time in the Room's zone, `'2026-11-10T11:00:00.000Z'` in Kyiv. At daylight saving, a time the clocks skip takes the moment just after the gap, `04:00` for `03:30` on the day Kyiv's clocks jump from `03:00` to `04:00`, and a time they repeat takes its earlier moment.
+- **To the Room's time.** `await house.toLocal({ moment: event.moment })` answers the `time_zone`, `date` and `time` in the Room's zone of a date-time with its offset, written as a document's `date-time` field takes it.
+- **Each is a call to House** that counts as no external call and rejects what it refuses with its `code`: `invalid-time` for what is no date and time, or no date-time with its offset, and `unknown-room` for a `room_ref` naming any Room but the run's own.

 How an App declares a function that House runs on its servers when a Trigger fires, with no page open and no model.
 
-- **Declare.** `app.json` lists `functions`, each `{"name": "assign lead", "entry": "functions/assign.js"}` ([App manifest](reference/app-manifest)). The entry is one ES module whose default export is the function and which imports nothing, so your build bundles each function, with all it imports, into `dist/`, such as `esbuild src/assign.ts --bundle --format=esm --outfile=dist/functions/assign.js`. A publish is refused whole for an entry that is missing, imports, has no default export or is over <function-size>, for a name used twice, and for more than <release-functions> functions.
-- **Run.** A Trigger's `function` action names the App and one of its functions ([Triggers](reference/triggers)). House runs the App's latest release when the Event's turn comes, one Event of a Trigger after another, so a run reads what the run before it wrote. Runs share a fixed number of slots on House's servers, and a run waits, its action `waiting`, until one is free.
-- **The event.** `export default async (event, house) => {}` receives `kind`, the condition's `on`, with `room`, `trigger`, `id`, `moment` and what matched: `path` and `reference`, a document change's `transition`, an arriving item's `item` with its `headers` and raw `body` text, a dated document's `document`, a delivered notification's `notification`, the facts of its web document, or a message's `message`, its `sender` and its request's `agent_function`, never its words, with the document that request was started for as `path` and `reference`. `Date` reads `moment`. The return value is ignored, so write what you keep into the Room.
-- **The App API.** `house` is the page's App API over the Trigger's Room alone: `query(q)` ([Local Query](apps/local-query)), which reads only the documents of the `types`, folders (`folder`, `pathPrefix`) and `paths` it names and answers over them alone, so the rest of a large Room is never read: name the `types` or `pathPrefix` of its `hop` and `backlinks` too, and select its parts, since a query or `hop` or `backlinks` naming none, or selecting `backlinks` or `'all'`, is refused `invalid-query`, `saveParts(room, parts)`, `call(name, input)` for the Room acts, each by its House act name, such as `records/list` and `rooms/members/list`, and `callExternal(request)`. `query` and `callExternal` reject a refusal with its `code` for the function to catch, while `call` answers it as a result whose `kind` is `rejected` and `saveParts` as `outcome: 'refused'`, as on the page, so check what they answer. Its writes are the App's, by `App <App> (function <function>)`, fire Triggers, its own included, and count against the Room owner's Write limit.
-- **Reach.** A run holds no `fetch`, timer, file, `console` or `Intl`: keep times as ISO instants, or convert a local time by its UTC offset yourself. `callExternal` takes the request `bridge.callExternal` takes and is the one way out, to an origin the release's `external_origins` lists; naming its Room, `room_ref: event.room`, carries that Room's Service key, which the function never sees, or is refused `service_key_not_found` naming the `origin`. Its calls count against the Room owner's `external_calls` limit.
-- **Never repeated.** A run that started is never run again, even when it failed after a call reached the service. Send `event.id` as the service's idempotency key where it takes one, and name what you write by what the event carries, so a second delivery of the same thing finds it.
-- **Failure and limits.** A throw settles the run `failed` with `function_failed` and its text, which `triggers/fired/list` shows and the panel shows the Room's owner, with no notification; the next Event still runs. A run ends `failed` at <function-time>, at <function-memory> or past <function-calls> external calls: `time_cap_reached`, `memory_cap_reached` or `external_call_cap_reached`.
+- **Declare.** `app.json` lists `functions`, each `{"name": "assign lead", "entry": "functions/assign.js"}` ([App manifest](reference/app-manifest)).

Its webhook signing secret goes nowhere: `call('service-keys/signatures/check', { room_ref, origin, text, signature })` answers `matched`, whether `signature` is `text`'s HMAC-SHA256 under it, lowercase hex or base64. Both take only an origin the release's `external_origins` lists and are refused `not_found` naming the `origin` where the Room holds none.
+- **Never repeated.** A run that started is never run again, even when it failed after a call reached the service. Send `event.id` as the service's idempotency key where it takes one, and name what you write by what the event carries, so a second delivery finds it.

 How an App reads and writes its Rooms on the device, offline too.
 
-- The runtime holds every bound Room on the device and streams in every change from any device, App or agent. `query` and `observe` answer from the device and never wait on the network; `search` asks House ([Search rules](apps/search)).
+- The runtime holds every bound Room on the device and streams in every change from any device, App or agent, but a Search-level Room, which an App shows only as the rows [`queryHouse`](apps/query-house) asks for, never offline. `query` and `observe` answer from the device and never wait on the network; `search` asks House ([Search rules](apps/search)).
 - Draw from `observe` at once, with no request of your own; an observation hears each later change by itself, so never poll, refetch or subscribe. An answer is `{ pending }` while a Room it reads has not reached this device or been prepared on it: draw the page without those documents; keep the empty state for a complete answer. `rooms` answers once the runtime knows the Rooms the page reaches. Offer binding a Room when it is empty while the sync status's `providerUnreachable` is false and `observe('connection-refusal')` answers `null`; any other empty list says only that nothing can be listed yet.
 - Show no loading state: draw the last state the device holds. A wait shows only after an act the User pressed whose answer comes from outside the stream, such as `bridge.callExternal`, until it arrives.
-- Write optimistically: write a Room Draft, then `save`. The change shows in every query at once as a Pending Change and reaches House when it can. `save` refuses at once, with its `code`, a change that is `stale`, `changed-underneath` or against the schema: say so and keep the form.

 - Show what the runtime reports: `observe('queue', room)` lists changes House has not confirmed yet, and `observe('sync-status')`'s `attentionRequired` lists each change House refused, returned as a Room Draft with why, to save again or discard.
-- Keep what the User types in the Room Draft (`roomDraft.write`) as they type; it survives a new release replacing the page, a reload and another tab. Draw a form again only when its page changes, never on a streamed change.
+- Keep what the User types in the Room Draft (`roomDraft.write`) as they type; it survives a new release, a reload and another tab. Draw a form again only when its page changes, never on a streamed change.
 - A document has one Room Draft, shared by every tab and App, and `save` takes all of it. A write replaces every part and names the revision it read, so write onto the parts it holds; one from an older revision answers `stale` with the current Room Draft: show that one. A field part names as its `base` the value the page showed, `{ value }`, or `null` when the document has no such field.
 - Save a change the User does not type, such as a checkbox, with `saveParts(room, [{ path, parts }])`: it writes no Room Draft, so the one another tab holds stays.
 - Offline, all of this works and saves wait; `bridge.onStatus` reports `offline`: say so quietly.
-- A Room your User holds at the Open level locks once the browser has been offline 2 minutes, and from the moment it opens until House confirms the access. While it is locked, `rooms` lists it `locked: true`, a query that does not name it leaves it out, one naming it answers `{ pending }` with `awaits: 'unlock'`, and every other read and write naming it, `save` included, answers the code `room-locked` and keeps nothing. Draw it locked until it unlocks and keep what the User types in the page; what was saved before stays and is sent then.
-- An outside service is reached only at the origins `app.json` lists in `external_origins`, directly or through `bridge.callExternal`, sent by House's server. A call that names a Room bound to the App in a `write` slot with `room_ref` carries that Room's Service key for the origin, which the page never sees; any other call carries no key. A call through a Room that holds no key for the origin is refused `service_key_not_found` naming the `origin`: tell the person that the Room's owner or a manager enters the key under Service keys in the Room's Info, since no App opens that page.
