# Channel Location Parsing

# Channel location parsing

When a supported channel sends a pinned location, venue, or live-share payload,
Fased converts it into plain text plus structured context fields. That keeps
prompts readable while still letting tools or templates access exact
coordinates.

Fased normalizes shared locations from chat channels into:

* human-readable text appended to the inbound body, and
* structured fields in the auto-reply context payload.

Currently supported:

* **Telegram** (location pins + venues + live locations)
* **WhatsApp** (locationMessage + liveLocationMessage)
* **LINE** (location messages)
* **Matrix** (`m.location` with `geo_uri`)

## Text formatting

Locations are rendered as friendly lines without brackets:

* Pin:
  * `📍 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m`
* Named place:
  * `📍 Eiffel Tower — Champ de Mars, Paris (48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m)`
* Live share:
  * `🛰 Live location: 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m`

If the channel includes a caption/comment, it is appended on the next line:

```
📍 48.858844, 2.294351 ±12m
Meet here
```

## Context fields

When a location is present, these fields are added to `ctx`:

* `LocationLat` (number)
* `LocationLon` (number)
* `LocationAccuracy` (number, meters; optional)
* `LocationName` (string; optional)
* `LocationAddress` (string; optional)
* `LocationSource` (`pin | place | live`)
* `LocationIsLive` (boolean)

## Channel notes

* **Telegram**: venues map to `LocationName/LocationAddress`; live locations
  use `live_period`.
* **WhatsApp**: `locationMessage.comment` and `liveLocationMessage.caption`
  are appended as the caption line.
* **LINE**: location messages map title/address into
  `LocationName/LocationAddress`.
* **Matrix**: `geo_uri` is parsed as a pin location; altitude is ignored and
  `LocationIsLive` is always false.
