-Normal bot-event output intentionally does not include the full raw envelope. Use stable top-level fields for routing; for `vc.bot.meeting_activity_v1`, consume `meeting_activity_items[]` directly and branch on each item's `activity_event_type`. Do not assume one delivered bot event contains only one activity type. The repeated item-level `meeting` object is lifted to top-level `meeting` to avoid duplicating meeting metadata in every item. For richer cross-event meeting analysis or IM forwarding, prefer `vc +meeting-events --format json`, which normalizes actors, chat/reaction payloads, subtitles, and magic-share events. If the top-level event envelope cannot be parsed at all, `event consume` still passes the raw payload through for diagnostics.
+Normal bot-event output intentionally does not include the full raw envelope. Use stable top-level fields for routing. For `vc.bot.meeting_activity_v1`, consume `meeting_activity_items[]` directly and branch on each item's `activity_event_type`; do not read activity content from `payload`, because normal activity output does not emit it. Do not assume one delivered bot event contains only one activity type. Meeting metadata stays on each activity item under `meeting`; there is no top-level `meeting` field. `meeting_no` remains top-level even when item-level `meeting.meeting_no` is also present so agents can use the same scalar field across invited, activity, and ended bot events.
