## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | Exact wait name. Required. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | Exact name; the final segment is the conserved wait UUID. |
| `uid` | `string` | Immutable platform Resource UID. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Standard metadata. Output only. |
| `goal` | `string` | Optional exact Goal in this Session, never a current-Goal selector. |
| `type` | `string` | time or signal. Other producer types require their own admitted adapter. Required. |
| `reference` | `string` | Exact source reference for a signal; empty for a timer. |
| `deadline` | `timestamp` | Actual future due time; required only for a timer. |
| `resume_prompt` | `string` | What to do after observing this wait's evidence, at most 16 KiB. Required. |
| `state` | `string` | active, ready, resolved or cancelled. Ready still requires turn admission. Output only. |
| `evidence` | `struct` | Original bounded observed evidence, retained through delivery and restart. Output only. |
| `resumed_turn` | `int64` | The only turn that consumed this wait; unset until resolved. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | Creation time. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | Last state change time. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |
