Bug fixes:
- Empty result field handling: Changed truthy check to explicit type
check (`typeof parsed?.text === "string"`) in command-reply.ts.
Previously, Claude CLI returning `result: ""` would cause raw JSON
to be sent to WhatsApp.
- Response prefix on heartbeat: Apply `responsePrefix` to heartbeat
alert messages in runReplyHeartbeat, matching behavior of regular
message handler.
Changed from 10 to 30 minutes to avoid false positives when
heartbeatMinutes is set to 10. The watchdog should be significantly
longer than the heartbeat interval to account for:
- Network latency
- Slow command responses
- Brief connection hiccups
With heartbeatMinutes=10, a 30-minute watchdog gives 3x buffer before
triggering auto-restart.
Fixes issue where unauthorized messages from +212652169245 (5elements spa)
triggered Bad MAC errors and silently killed the event emitter, preventing
all future message processing.
Changes:
1. Early allowFrom filtering in inbound.ts - blocks unauthorized senders
before they trigger encryption errors
2. Message timeout watchdog - auto-restarts connection if no messages
received for 10 minutes
3. Health monitoring in heartbeat - warns if >30 min without messages
4. Mock loadConfig in tests to handle new dependency
Root cause: Event emitter stopped firing after Bad MAC errors from
decryption attempts on messages from unauthorized senders. Connection
stayed alive but all subsequent messages.upsert events silently failed.
Replaces samePhoneMarker/samePhoneResponsePrefix with:
- messagePrefix: prefix for all inbound messages
- Default: '[warelay]' if no allowFrom, else ''
- responsePrefix: prefix for all outbound replies
Also adds timestamp options:
- timestampPrefix: boolean to enable [Nov 29 06:30] format
- timestampTimezone: IANA timezone (default UTC)
Updated README with new config table entries.
Automatically prefixes responses with a configurable string when in
same-phone mode. This helps distinguish bot replies from user messages
in the same chat bubble.
Example config:
"samePhoneResponsePrefix": "🦞"
Will prefix all same-phone replies with the lobster emoji.
Adds full support for self-messaging setups where you chat with yourself
and an AI assistant replies in the same WhatsApp bubble.
Changes:
- Same-phone mode (from === to) always allowed, bypasses allowFrom check
- Echo detection via bounded Set (max 100) prevents infinite loops
- Configurable samePhoneMarker in config (default: "[same-phone]")
- Messages prefixed with marker so assistants know the context
- fromMe filter removed from inbound.ts (echo detection in auto-reply)
- Verbose logging for same-phone detection and echo skips
Tests:
- Same-phone allowed without/despite allowFrom configuration
- Body prefixed only when from === to
- Non-same-phone rejected when not in allowFrom
- Wrap Baileys connection.update listeners in try-catch to prevent
unhandled exceptions from crashing the relay process
- Add WebSocket-level error handlers in session.ts
- Add global unhandledRejection/uncaughtException handlers in index.ts
- Make listener.onClose error-safe with .catch() in auto-reply.ts
- Change default heartbeat from 30min to 10min
- Rewrite claude-config.md with personality, better explain personal
assistant features, add recommended MCPs section
