skylord123 390a5b264e Add Send Location node; expand Receive's m.location output
New matrix-send-location node publishes m.location events using
matrix-js-sdk's makeLocationContent helper, so the wire format matches
Element's "Share my location". Per-message inputs are typed inputs
(msg / flow / global / num / str), defaulting to the obvious msg.*
names.

matrix-receive's m.location handler now also sets msg.latitude,
msg.longitude, msg.altitude, msg.description, msg.assetType, and
msg.timestamp on the output (additive - msg.geo_uri / msg.payload are
unchanged), so a Receive node wired straight into Send Location resends
a byte-equivalent event.

Help docs in both nodes updated.

<h3>Details</h3>
<p>Sends an m.location event to a Matrix room.</p>
<p>
Produces an <code>m.location</code> message just like Element's
<em>"Share my location"</em> feature, so the location renders as a map
snippet in clients that support it. The event content matches what
Element sends &mdash; legacy <code>geo_uri</code> + <code>body</code>
fields for older clients, plus the modern extensible-events fields
(<code>m.location</code>, <code>m.asset</code>, <code>m.text</code>,
<code>m.ts</code>) for newer ones. Built with
<code>matrix-js-sdk</code>'s <code>makeLocationContent</code> helper so
the wire format stays in lockstep with Element's.
</p>
<p>
Every input below is a <strong>typed input</strong>: pick the source
(<code>msg</code>, <code>flow</code>, <code>global</code>,
<code>num</code>, or <code>str</code>) and the value. The defaults
read from <code>msg.*</code> using the documented names so the simple
case <em>just works</em> &mdash; reach for the type selector when you
want to pull from a flow / global variable or pin a static value on
the node itself.

<h4>Configuration</h4>
<dl class="message-properties">
<dt>Server</dt>

<dt>Room ID</dt>
<dd>Optional default room. If empty, <code>msg.topic</code> is used.</dd>

<dd>Decimal degrees, between -180 and 180. Default: <code>msg.longitude</code>.</dd>
<dt>Altitude <span class="property-type">number, optional</span></dt>
<dd>Metres above sea level. When provided, the geo URI becomes <code>geo:lat,lng,alt</code>. Default: <code>msg.altitude</code>.</dd>
<dt>geo_uri <span class="property-type">string, optional</span></dt>
<dd>A pre-built RFC&nbsp;5870 geo URI (e.g. <code>geo:48.85,2.35</code>). When set, the Latitude / Longitude / Altitude inputs are ignored. Default: <code>msg.geo_uri</code>.</dd>
<dt>Description <span class="property-type">string, optional</span></dt>
<dd>Label for the location (e.g. <em>Eiffel Tower</em>). Default: <code>msg.description</code>.</dd>
<dt>Type</dt>
<dd>
<b>My location</b> (<code>m.self</code>) marks the location as
"this is where I am right now" (the sender's location).
<b>Pin</b> (<code>m.pin</code>) marks it as a generic pinned
point. Defaults to <code>msg.assetType</code> (which the Receive
node populates for incoming location events, so a Receive node
wired straight to this one resends with the same asset type);
falls back to <code>m.self</code> when not provided. Flip the
type selector to <code>string</code> to pin a static value.
</dd>
<dt>Timestamp <span class="property-type">number, optional</span></dt>
<dd>Milliseconds since the UNIX epoch &mdash; when the location was correct. Defaults to <em>now</em>. Default source: <code>msg.timestamp</code>.</dd>
<dt>Body / text <span class="property-type">string, optional</span></dt>
<dd>Override the auto-generated text fallback used in <code>body</code> and <code>m.text</code>. If left empty, a sensible default like <code>User Location "Eiffel Tower" geo:48.85,2.35 at 2026-05-23T04:44:41Z</code> is generated. Default source: <code>msg.payload</code> (matches what the Receive node sets for incoming events).</dd>

<h4>Inputs</h4>
<dl class="message-properties">
<dt>msg.topic <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
<dd>Room ID to send the location to. Used when Room ID is not set on the node.</dd>
<dt class="optional">msg.&lt;configured&gt;</dt>
<dd>The specific message keys depend on the node configuration.
