missing required boolean argument `is_outbound`

Error message

missing required boolean argument `is_outbound`

What it means

record_interaction found no boolean "is_outbound" in the args — the field distinguishing user-sent from received interactions is required and has no default; as_bool() on a missing or non-boolean value triggers this.

Solutions

1. Pass is_outbound as a JSON boolean (true if the user sent it)
2. Check the field was not serialized as a string "true"
