+"""Gateway enactment of a core conversation room (Issue #5768).

+Core ships the pure turn planner and a storage-agnostic :class:`~praisonaiagents.rooms.Room`.
+:class:`GatewayRoom` makes a room usable over a live platform by presenting it
+as an *agent-shaped* route target (``chat`` / ``achat`` / ``astart`` +
+``chat_history``). That lets it slot in exactly where a single agent is bound
+today — ``routes: {group: room:standup}``, ``Bot(agent=room)`` or
+``BotOS(agent=room)`` — and reuse the existing session machinery unchanged:
+
+* **Durable transcript** — the room transcript lives in ``chat_history``, which
+  :class:`~praisonai_bot.bots._session.BotSessionManager` swaps in per
+  user/chat and persists through its configured session store. A restart
+  reloads it and the deterministic planner replays the same schedule.
+* **Single writer** — the session's per-agent lock serialises turns per room.
+* **Delivery** — the combined reply is returned like any agent reply, so it
+  flows through the adapter's existing (outbox-backed) delivery path.
