# **Step 2 — Core Types & Shared Primitives**

```nxd
MODULE msg.types

TYPE RESULT UNION { OK(any), ERR(string) }
TYPE OPTION UNION { SOME(any), NONE }

TYPE TIMESTAMP int

TYPE MESSAGE {
    ID: string,
    TYPE: string, # email / sms / push / webhook
    DEST: string,
    PAYLOAD: string,
    RETRIES: int,
    MAX_RETRIES: int,
    TS: TIMESTAMP

    TYPE: string,
    HEALTH: string,
    WEIGHT: int

# **Step 3 — Shared Utilities**

```nxd
MODULE msg.util

FUNC NOW(): TIMESTAMP:
    RETURN CURRENT_TIME()

    PRINTLN("[MSG] " ADD MSG)

FUNC GEN_ID(P: string): string:
    RETURN P ADD "-" ADD RANDOM_STRING(8)
```
