Fixes #194

Summary

  • Uses one author-identity resolver for live/history/local writes, edits, revokes, placeholders, delete-for-me events, and quote-parent matching. Own messages resolve to the account; peer device suffixes are normalized; PN/LID aliases match only when proven by the mapping ledger.
  • Repairs proven legacy same-author duplicates transactionally. A per-device mapping generation and pending-alias queue gate startup repair; scoped passes acknowledge only the aliases they repaired, while remaps/deletions request a full repair. Historical LIDs remain readable/routable through PN and current-LID keys.
  • Page reads fold copies found by indexed lookups across alias keys, include the folded cutoff timestamp's ties, and restore logical ordering before limiting. Read folds use the same text/proto precedence and edit tie-break as persistent merges.
  • Scoped FTS searches every candidate chat key in bounded chunks and merges results globally before applying the limit. Explicit reconciliation repairs each populated alias key before attempting split-chat merges.
  • Preserves the oldest stable message ID and newest copy timestamp, folds status/stars, lets tombstones win, refreshes preview/unread and invalidations—including lone legacy own-row normalization—and keeps distinct-author ID collisions separate.
  • Adds coverage for own-device edits/revokes, device-qualified delete-for-me and quotes, timestamp-tied page boundaries, historical-alias search, populated-key reconciliation, concurrent pending mapping repairs, late mappings, restart repair, placeholders, invalidations, and author collisions.

Adds account-scoped repair-state and pending-alias migrations; the message table schema is unchanged.

Local verification

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo test -p oxidezap-chat-store --all-features --test pagination --test search --test regression_194 — passed (24, 10, and 23 tests).
  • cargo clippy -p oxidezap-chat-store --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings — passed.
  • cargo test -p oxidezap-session --lib a_contact_update_repairs_an_already_seen_lid_chat -- --nocapture — passed, including three consecutive reruns after making the test wait for durable reconciliation.

Workspace CI remains the gate for the full workspace. No real-phone/companion E2E was run: this environment has no paired WhatsApp phone or test account; coverage uses synthetic store events and restart tests.

Coordination

PR #200 also adds code/tests in crates/chat-store/src/store/mod.rs and crates/chat-store/tests/edits.rs. Its record_delete_for_me and local-delete test hunks are additive and separate from this PR's identity changes; this branch does not include or remove that work. If #200 lands first, rebase/update this branch and verify the combined diff before merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chat store now resolves message authors across device-specific and mapped PN/LID identities. Writes, reads, and reconciliation use author-aware matching to merge equivalent message rows while retaining messages from distinct authors. Reconciliation runs at startup and after contact identity mappings are learned.

Changes

Message identity and reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Author identity and duplicate-row reconciliation
crates/chat-store/src/store/message_identity.rs, docs/gotchas.md
The store normalizes senders, matches authors across device suffixes and proven PN/LID aliases, and merges duplicate rows while folding message state. The documentation describes these identity and repair rules.
Identity-aware message writes
crates/chat-store/src/store/edit.rs, crates/chat-store/src/store/message_rows.rs, crates/chat-store/src/store/revoke.rs, crates/chat-store/src/store/{event,history_sync,inbound,writer}.rs, crates/chat-store/tests/edits.rs, crates/chat-store/tests/regression_194.rs
Inserts, edits, and revokes use shared identity resolution, and write paths pass the ChangeSet to their helpers. Writer handling applies edits and revokes without the former sender-collision guard. Regression tests cover identity variants, stale copies, and distinct authors.
Author-aware message reads
crates/chat-store/src/queries.rs, crates/chat-store/tests/regression_194.rs
Message list, page, and single-message queries fold rows with equivalent authors and keep distinct-author collisions separate. The page-with-unread query now uses the shared unique-row reader.
Startup and mapping-triggered reconciliation
crates/chat-store/src/lid.rs, crates/chat-store/src/store/{mod,writer}.rs, crates/session/src/whatsapp/{mod,tests}.rs, crates/chat-store/tests/regression_194.rs
Store startup and writer requests reconcile message rows and mapped PN/LID chat keys. The contact identity learner requests reconciliation after learning mappings and waits for the store flush. Tests cover duplicate cleanup, unread counts, chat merging, and change notifications.

Reacting to your own message in a group no longer saves the reaction locally, so it disappears from this client's view. Every app start and every contact-mapping batch also rescans the whole message store, which slows startup and delays writes on large accounts. Fix the reaction regression, and scope or gate the reconciliation, before merging.

.limit(wanted)

P2 Badge Deduplicate aliases across pagination boundaries

When author-equivalent legacy copies have different timestamps and an unrelated message lies between them, limiting this query to the remaining raw row count means only one copy may enter kept. For example, with limit = 2, a newer alias copy and the intervening message fill the first page, while the older copy is returned again on the next page because deduplication has no knowledge of the preceding page; fill_unique_after has the same problem. This makes the same logical message appear twice while paging precisely in the unreconciled state these read folds are intended to support, so the query needs to account for equivalent copies beyond the current raw slice or exclude identities already represented by the cursor.

P2 Badge Strip device suffix from the surviving peer sender

When identity repair merges a legacy device-qualified peer row (for example, user:7@lid) with a bare PN/LID copy and that legacy row has the oldest stable id, this assignment preserves the device-qualified spelling as the survivor. The repaired StoredMessage therefore continues exposing a device-specific author, and subsequent writes never normalize it because resolve_target returns early once only that peer row remains. Normalize the survivor with stored_sender(..., false) so repair actually establishes the same bare representation used by new writes.
