# Interface: RawTurnGate

Defined in: [lib/classes/turn\_gate.ts:24](https://github.com/NHTIO/ADK/blob/v1.20260605.0/src/lib/classes/turn_gate.ts#L24)

Plain input object supplied to [TurnGate](TurnGate.md) at construction time.

## Remarks

`turnId` and `abortSignal` are injected by the runner — callers constructing a gate via
`ctx.waitFor()` never supply them directly.

`abortSignal` is `AbortSignal` (not `AbortController`) because the gate reacts to turn-level
cancellation but cannot trigger it. The gate owns its own internal `AbortController` for
`gate.abort()`.

## Properties
