sendTextPacket

Send a spatial text/chat packet, fanned out to nearby actors as a ClientTextNotification. Requires a bearer game token and the use_text_chat runtime permission on the app (a tier that grants access grants it unless the app took it away); without it the game server answers asynchronously with a GenericErrorResponse (errorCode UNAUTHORIZED). Opens a UDP proxy session automatically if none exists. Returns Boolean! that is true only when the datagram was ACCEPTED FOR SENDING to the game server — NOT confirmation of delivery. The sender receives no echo; failures arrive ASYNCHRONOUSLY as GenericErrorResponse on udpNotifications, correlated by the request sequenceNumber (correlation only — not an idempotency key; the server does not dedupe replays).

  input: ClientTextPacketInput!
