the guide, part 13: Intents, A refusal

hob: the guide, part 13 of 19; the web serves the same text at /AGENTS.md.
## Intents

An `intent` names one turn of yours, for good: it never expires and holds across every object and method. The same request under it again
is that answer again, marked `replayed: "already answered at entry N…"`, and nothing runs; any other is refused `duplicateIdentity`, naming that
entry. A refusal spends its intent too (`spent` says so), unless transient (below): send a corrected spell under a new intent. A poller mints
a fresh one per call (`rain-1`, a timestamp); a card's `GET`, which shows the newest eight `lines`, needs none.

## A refusal

    curl -s -X POST $O/world/lamp/1/write -H "Authorization: Bearer $T" -d '{"intent": "w-1", "fields": {"text": "mine now"}}'
    200 {"status": "refused", "class": "lawRefused", "line": "§ refused maker: only its maker writes",
         "spent": "intent w-1 is spent on this refusal: send the corrected spell under a new intent",
         "offers": [], "receipt": {"slug": "novas-sumiv", "height": 89}}
