# Ask the host's clock to start work nobody will be present for

> Records a schedule: a repository, a prompt, a rule saying when it fires, and what one fire may spend. The host's own clock fires it into a new session that runs unattended — every fire opens its own session and nothing is ever appended to an earlier one.
Everything this host could not honour is refused HERE, because creation is the only moment somebody is present to answer. A rule under the five-minute floor, an instant already behind the clock, and a repository nobody has vouched for are all 422: a schedule accepted into an untrusted directory would wake at three in the morning, be refused at everything it tried, and leave an empty morning behind.
The clock itself is not on this surface. Due-ness, the sweep's cadence and how a ceiling is spent are the host's own facts; a client asks for a schedule and reads what the host decided.

info:
  title: Narya Host API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The contract between the Narya host and every client. One long-lived host
    runs on your machine and serves this API over a Unix socket in your Narya
    home. Narya creates the socket owner-only, and file permissions are the
    whole authorization. There is no password, no token and no TLS. The terminal
    client and the one-shot command that Lerian ships drive this API, and a
    client you write drives the same one.


    Results never arrive on the response of the request that caused them.
    Submitting a message returns 202 with a turn id. Everything the turn
    produces streams over GET /v1/events as server-sent events with a typed
    envelope, and a stream resumes from a Last-Event-ID header.


    One error envelope: code, title, message, and fields on 422. Codes are NRY-
    followed by four digits. A paged list answers items, limit and a nextCursor
    when more remains. Cursors are opaque.

        A schedule being asked for, in the words the caller has: the rule
        arrives as the strings a person typed and one parser reads them, so
        every surface refuses `--every whenever` in the same sentence.

        There is no owner field and its absence is the rule rather than an
        omission — the host writes the owner from its own identity.

            An interval — "15m", "2h", "24h", "7d". Exactly one of every and at
            is given. The shortest a schedule may fire on is five minutes, and
            anything under it is refused naming the floor: an agent turn takes
            minutes and spends money, so a schedule measured in seconds is an
            incident rather than an aggressive setting. An interval's first fire
            is one interval away, never immediately.

            schedule that does not fire, which is how one is parked until
            somebody prices it.

        A schedule is durable configuration, never swept: what a fire produces
        is a session, governed by the rules sessions already have, while the
        schedule itself stays until somebody cancels it. The owner is written
        from the host's own identity and is never something a caller names — a
        fire has to be attributable to somebody who is not there, and an
        attribution the reader cannot check reads exactly like a true one.

            somebody reads when they wonder whether they stopped the right one.
            It is advanced from the moment of the fire rather than from the
            instant that was missed, which is why a host that was off for three
            days fires once rather than three times.

            unrepeatable across a crash — so a fire refused after the claim, or
            a host that died in the gap before the session existed, is counted
            here and explained in lastError. A consumer counting SESSIONS wants
            the sessions themselves, not this.
