+/**
+ * US-005 (assistant-bound conductor), bot side: the owner answers a decision
+ * in the HQ DM with their personal local bot.
+ *
+ * Server contract (hq-pro US-001 / talk route): `POST /v1/decisions/{id}/talk`
+ * sets state `talking`, sets `talkThreadId` to the owner-bot pair key
+ * (`[ownerUid, botUid].sort().join("#")`) and posts a context card into that
+ * DM as the bot, with event id `decision-talk-<id>`. The card is sent by the
+ * bot, so it never reaches the bot's own inbox. The bot therefore finds the
+ * decision through the decisions API (the `hq decide` client), not by parsing
+ * the card.
+ *
+ * Gates, all fail closed:
+ * - only the owner's own messages are considered;
+ * - the decision is talking in this exact owner-bot pair thread;
+ * - its audience is the owner as a person, and its asker is an agent
+ *   (release 1: only the owner's personal local bot may ask);
+ * - its company is one of the owner's companies (unknown companies refuse).
+ * The server applies the same audience and company rules on answer.
