StatifierBlocks.Core.Wait (StatifierBlocks v0.3.0)

core.wait: a leaf whose whole meaning is its config (ADR-0002 decision 10).

No slots, one :duration field. The duration is a string rather than a number of seconds because ADR-0001 decision 6 forbids floats in config, and a bare integer would have to carry its unit somewhere else.

Either stored spelling is accepted: a predicator duration string ("1h30m", "2d", "3d8h"), which is the primary form and the one the author types, or ISO-8601 with integer components ("PT30S", "PT48H", "P1D"). Whichever was typed is what config holds, verbatim; StatifierBlocks.Core.Duration is where the two meet and the ISO pivot is taken at emit time. That is ADR-0005's 2026-08-29 :duration amendment, under which this type "comes to accept both spellings the way core.send already does" - and it is the whole of why a "48h" this type once refused is now a duration.

This type validates the string; it does not resolve it to a number of milliseconds, mint a timer, or know that durable timers exist. Turning it into a delayed send is the compiler's job.

Summary

Functions

emit(block, context)

A compound state that sends itself a delayed event on entry and finishes when that event arrives.

io(config)

A wait constrains nothing and is constrained by nothing beyond being a step: it declares kinds and leaves consumes and produces to ADR-0003 decision 5's permissive default, since waiting transforms no data.

Functions

emit(block, context)

A compound state that sends itself a delayed event on entry and finishes when that event arrives.

<state id="s_WAI" initial="s_WAI__waiting">
  <state id="s_WAI__waiting">
    <onentry><send delay="48h" event="statifier_blocks.wait.blk_WAI" id="s_WAI__timer"/></onentry>
    <transition event="statifier_blocks.wait.blk_WAI" target="s_WAI__done"/>
  </state>
  <final id="s_WAI__done"/>
</state>

The event name carries the block id, so two waits in the same chart never wake each other. <send> names no target, which under spec 6.2.2 is the running session's own external queue - and a delayed send on that queue is exactly what statifier_oban turns into a durable timer. This type still does not know durable timers exist; it emits an ordinary delayed send and the host's session decides what backs it.

The duration is compiled, not read out

The stored value is the author's own spelling, so the emitted delay attribute is never simply those bytes: a predicator string is canonicalised to the ISO pivot and rendered back out as the shorthand Statifier.Duration reads, and a stored ISO value is already at the pivot and only rendered. Both steps live in StatifierBlocks.Core.Duration - to_iso/1 then to_delay/1, exactly the pair core.send calls - which is why the component-to-unit table that used to sit here is now in that module's moduledoc and nowhere else. Two duration tables would be two grammars the day one of them was edited.

The attribute is left unannotated for the reason core.send's emit writes out: ADR-0004 decision 9 annotates an attribute whose value is the author's verbatim, and these bytes are not - 1h30m and PT1H30M both emit 1h30m.
