protocols.apps.chat.messages.ChatDirectMessage

public class ChatDirectMessage
extends pt.unl.fct.di.novasys.babel.generic.ProtoMessage

A chat message sent directly to one peer (not broadcast). The chat app sends these over the membership's shared channel via sendMessage(msg, targetHost). Two kinds:

• ChatDirectMessage.Kind.HELLO — the presence handshake: "hi, I'm <nick>", sent to a peer when we become neighbours so each side learns the other's nickname (a Host alone isn't human-friendly);
• ChatDirectMessage.Kind.PRIVATE — a private message typed with /msg.

Direct messaging works to any member because membership is full — every participant is a directly-connected neighbour.
