the originating session is not an IM conversation

Error message

the originating session is not an IM conversation

What it means

For origin delivery, the originating session's config must contain a string 'channel' and 'channel_chat_id'. The session exists but is not bound to an IM conversation (or the config keys are missing/wrong types), so there is nowhere to deliver results.

Solutions

1. Create the job from within the IM conversation so the session has channel + channel_chat_id
2. Verify session.config contains both keys as strings (str() the chat id if numeric)
3. Use 'configured' delivery with an explicit target_ref if the session can't be IM-bound

Example fix

# before
session.config = {"channel": "telegram"}  # no chat id
# after
session.config = {"channel": "telegram", "channel_chat_id": "12345"}

cfg = session.config or {}
assert isinstance(cfg.get("channel"), str) and isinstance(cfg.get("channel_chat_id"), str), "session not IM-bound"

def session_is_im_conversation(session) -> bool:
    cfg = getattr(session, "config", None) or {}
    return isinstance(cfg.get("channel"), str) and isinstance(cfg.get("channel_chat_id"), str)

When it happens

Trigger: Session created via web UI or API without channel binding; config['channel'] set but channel_chat_id missing or numeric; test stub sessions lacking channel fields.

Common situations: Users trying origin delivery from the web app instead of the IM bot; partial session migrations that dropped channel metadata; channels that don't persist chat ids.
