The command type name (lowercase kebab)

string

params_schema

A JSON Schema fragment for the params

settle_window_seconds

The actuation window in seconds: how long the device is given to actuate before a mismatch is a failed command. 0 means settle immediately (a fire-and-forget command, or a settleable one judged at the moment of issue). A duration has no negative, so the schema floors it at 0 rather than accepting a value that behaves as 0 with no refusal to say so.

target_metric_type

The metric this command sets, for settlement (at most one target arm)

string
target_property_type

The property this command sets, for settlement (at most one target arm)
