## Definitions

### `dev.knotless.awaitDelegation`

**Type**: `procedure`

Asks this appview's gateway whether the delegation is approved (dev.knotless.getDelegation), which waits a while for it before saying it is not yet: ask again until done. Once done, the appview remembers the gateway for the account, so that sharing a repository for writing from the pages names it. A procedure, since it writes that. Requires the session cookie the pages' login sets.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `state` | `string` | Yes | The delegation, as dev.knotless.delegateWrites named it. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `done` | `boolean` | Yes | Whether it was approved: false while it waits still. |
| `gateway` | `string` (did) | No | Once done, the gateway that now writes for the account. |

#### Errors

- **InvalidRequest**: No such delegation waits, or the account refused the grant.
- **AuthenticationRequired**: No account is logged in to the pages, or its session has ended.
