Stacked draft: logical base
stack/teams-05-typed-scope-routingis PR #1497. GitHub requires an upstream PR base to exist inopenabdev/openab, so this draft temporarily targetsmainand may show preceding stack layers. Do not merge it until #1497 is merged and this branch is rebased onto currentmain; then review only its single incremental commit.What problem does this solve?
Give opted-in Teams users a bounded processing indicator without optimistic writes or duplicate visible messages.

Microsoft Teams roadmap discussion.
Review Contract
Goal
Give opted-in Teams users a bounded processing indicator without optimistic writes or duplicate visible messages.
Non-goals
Progressive answer streaming, reactions-as-processing, automatic ambiguous cleanup retry, and default enablement are excluded.
Accepted Residual Risks
An Unknown edit or delete can leave a stale indicator; preserving uncertain platform state is safer than issuing another write.
Acceptance Criteria
The feature is default off and requires all negotiated primitives; it uses one real activity ID; terminal status precedes cleanup; failed or ambiguous operations never trigger a duplicate fresh send.
Follow-ups
Add progressive answer replacement separately and collect remaining failure-cleanup UI evidence.
At a Glance
Prior Art & Industry Research
OpenClaw: its Microsoft Teams extension separates access checks, Bot Framework route context, and outbound operations. For this slice the relevant comparison is status lifecycle presentation before a final response.
Hermes Agent: its Teams platform adapter keeps Teams-specific transport and message shaping behind a platform adapter. It does not provide OpenAB’s negotiated Core/Gateway outcome contract, so this PR keeps the useful adapter boundary but adds explicit fail-closed semantics.
Proposed Solution
Why this approach?
Reusing one acknowledged activity avoids duplicate status messages and preserves uncertainty instead of retrying blindly.
Alternatives Considered
Use an unacknowledged placeholder or reaction-only status (rejected: no owned cleanup contract) or enable by default (rejected: behavior change).
