and exits `7` or `9`, so a script can back off on its own terms.

## Chatbots and the inbox

The [chat adapter](https://fopost.com/docs/sdks/chat-adapter) turns the FoPost inbox into one
send/receive channel for a chatbot framework. It ships in the TypeScript and Python SDKs.

There is no `fopost inbox` command, and none is planned: answering a direct message is a
long-running service, not a shell invocation. A bot belongs in a program, built on
[`fopost-go`](https://github.com/fopost/fopost-go), which this CLI is built on, or on one of the
other [SDKs](https://fopost.com/docs/sdks/overview). No API change sits behind the adapter, so
every client can do the same thing.
