  "description": "Referee: show the players a hidden objective of an active quest.\n\nA hidden objective is absent from the player view until it is revealed or until\nit completes. Completing an objective reveals it, so a quest whose hidden\nobjective is finished before anyone announces it needs no reveal. Ids are the closed domain\n`ActivateQuest` documents.\n\nAn accepted reveal appends the objective's `offer` beat to the journal when its\nauthor wrote one, and the event includes the same line. No\n`JournalEntryAddedEvent` follows,\nbecause the lifecycle event is that beat's event. Referee commands are legal in\nevery mode, terminal modes included.\n\nModes:\n    `town`, `exploring`, `encounter`, `battle`, `game_over`, `victory`\n\nRejections:\n    - `session.command.unknown_quest` - `quest_id` names no quest of the\n      adventure.\n    - `session.command.unknown_objective` - `objective_id` names no objective of\n      that quest.\n    - `session.command.quest_state` - the quest is not active, or the objective\n      is already visible or already complete. The rejection names the quest and\n      the state that refused it.\n\nEvents:\n    `ObjectiveRevealedEvent` with\n    the quest id, the objective id, and the objective's offer beat.",
