+// How much a room will take from its bots before it stops them.
+//
+// post_to_room is the first tool that lets a bot write into a shared
+// channel without a person or a turn asking it to, and the published
+// failure mode for exactly that shape is not subtle: Claude Code subagents
+// recursed past fifty levels and burned four million tokens in under five
+// minutes, because the limits did not inherit and because each refusal
+// looked, to the model, like a reason to try again. So the budget is a
+// property of the ROOM, not of any one caller, and every refusal is worded
+// to end the attempt rather than to invite the next one.
+//
+// Four rules, because each catches something the others miss:
+//
+//   duplicate     the same bot re-sending the same text — a retry loop that
+//                 never noticed its first post landed
+//   ring          A → B → C → A. Per-sender limits cannot see this: every
+//                 bot posted once. It is caught by watching the room's
+//                 sequence of speakers close on itself
+//   sender rate   one bot flooding a room it is otherwise entitled to use
+//   escalation    the room-wide ceiling that fails TOWARD the human: past
+//                 it the answer is "ask the user", not "wait and retry"
+//
+// The ceiling counts the posts NOBODY HAS ANSWERED — the ones since the
+// person last wrote in the room — rather than every post in the window.
+// That is the difference between the failure this file exists to stop and
+// ordinary use: bots filling a room no one is reading is the loop, while a
+// room where the person is replying already has the human the ceiling would
+// otherwise go and fetch. It is also what leaves the other three rules any
+// air: counted flat, a ceiling of two would cap the room's whole history at
+// two posts, and a per-sender window of ten or a ring of four could never
+// be reached at all — three rules that could not fire, with tests that only
+// passed because they were handed a history the server cannot produce.
+//
+// The decision is a pure function of the recorded state plus a caller-
+// supplied `now`, so the server can pass Date.now() and tests can pass
+// whatever they need to place an event on either side of a window.
