# Errands

> Gus stopping to ask a person, and being woken when they answer.

An **errand** is Gus pausing mid-turn to ask a named teammate something, then being woken when they
answer. It exists so a run blocked on a human is visible rather than silently stalled or quietly guessed
at.

Gus tags the person **in the thread the conversation is already in**. Nothing is ever sent as a DM, which
means an errand only exists where a thread does: asked from the web app with no channel, it refuses rather
than going nowhere.

## Two kinds

| Kind          | Settled by                                               |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Answer**    | Gus coming back with the answer                          |
| **Delegated** | The owner pressing Done, or whoever asked calling it off |

A delegated errand is work, not a question, so a reply does not close it. Delegation is for shared
channels and has exactly one owner.

## Overdue

A deadline arriving does not cancel anything. It widens the window, resets the nudges, and wakes Gus to
take the choice back to whoever asked: keep at it, hand it over, or drop it. Only the outer ceiling gives
up on its own.

One errand is out per person at a time, so a busy agent cannot bury someone.
