Implements WhatsApp album messages (grouped media) with the following features:
- Send 2-10 images/videos grouped as a single album message
- Adaptive delay between sends based on media type (videos get 2x delay)
- Intelligent retry with exponential backoff for failed items
- parentMessageKey reference to album root (as suggested by maintainer)
- Complete result structure with success/failure tracking per item
- Validation for min (2) and max (10) media items
Types added:
- AlbumMediaItem: Single image/video with caption, mentions, dimensions
- AlbumMessageOptions: Configuration for delay, retry, continueOnFailure
- AlbumMediaResult: Per-item result with latency and retry attempts
- AlbumSendResult: Complete result with albumKey and statistics
Based on PR #2058 from WhiskeySockets/Baileys with improvements.

- Update outdated file reference in comment (process-message.ts:399-421
-> PDO response handler in src/Utils/process-message.ts)
- Add missing else branch in fallback path for duplicate request logging
to maintain observability parity with scheduled path
- Clarify log message in fallback path to reflect direct request flow
('Message received before direct resend request completed')
https://claude.ai/code/session_011WM4Nb6tE1S5nLjHen8Xsi
Aligns CTWA recovery with upstream philosophy by using messageRetryManager
instead of direct requestPlaceholderResend calls.
Benefits:
- Uses 3-second delay from manager (avoids request spam)
- Enables automatic cancellation if message arrives before request
- Centralizes phone request logic in messageRetryManager
- Adds fallback for when manager is not available
Changes:
- Wrap requestPlaceholderResend in messageRetryManager.schedulePhoneRequest()
- Add new metric status 'scheduled' for tracking scheduled requests
- Add metric status 'sent' when request is actually sent after delay
- Keep direct call as fallback when messageRetryManager is null
https://claude.ai/code/session_011WM4Nb6tE1S5nLjHen8Xsi
Critical bug fix: Interactive message blocks were never being executed because
they were placed AFTER the normal text message processing block. Messages with
text+buttons were processed as plain text, ignoring the interactive features.
Changes:
- Move all interactive message processing (buttons, lists, templates, carousel)
to BEFORE the normal text processing block
- Remove duplicate interactive message blocks that were unreachable
- Ensure correct execution order: check for interactive features first, then
fallback to normal text processing
This fixes the runtime error where interactive message functions were not
being called properly when sending messages with buttons/lists.
Structure now:
1. Check text + buttons → buttonsMessage
2. Check text + templateButtons → templateMessage
3. Check sections → listMessage
4. Check carousel → interactiveMessage
5. Check text (normal) → extendedTextMessage
6. Other message types...

Fixes type incompatibility error when processing buttons with media:
- Extract only media properties before passing to prepareWAMessageMedia
- Remove problematic interactiveMessage type from AnyRegularMessageContent
- Move Carouselable to text message type as Partial
This resolves the compilation error:
error TS2345: Argument of type '...' is not assignable to parameter
of type 'AnyMediaMessageContent'
Changes:
- src/Utils/messages.ts: Extract media content explicitly for type safety
- src/Types/Message.ts: Simplify type definitions, add Carouselable to text messages

The property was declared twice in SocketConfig type:
- Line 134 as required boolean
- Line 211 as optional boolean
This caused TypeScript compilation errors:
- TS2300: Duplicate identifier
- TS2687: Mismatched modifiers
- TS2717: Type mismatch between required and optional
Removed the duplicate declaration, keeping the first one which is
already properly documented and has the correct type.
Prevents unnecessary placeholder resend requests for messages older than 7 days,
improving resource efficiency and aligning with upstream best practices. Adds
metrics tracking for rejected old messages and includes message age in logs.

- Add explicit Buffer type annotations to salt, encKey, decKey variables
- Add Promise<[Buffer, Buffer]> return type to localHKDF function
- Add Buffer type casts for subarray return values
- Remove unnecessary non-null assertion operators (!)
Fixes TS2322 type mismatch errors when building with TypeScript 5.9.3+
and Node.js v24+. No runtime behavior changes.
Based on upstream PR #2284.
Remove the override that was forcing full history sync when
syncFullHistory was true. Now uses the default from Defaults/index.ts
which skips FULL sync type for better performance and stability.
Benefits:
- Faster connection time (2-10s vs 30s-5min)
- Lower bandwidth usage (1-10MB vs 50-500MB+)
- More stable connections (no timeouts)
- INITIAL_BOOTSTRAP + RECENT provide sufficient data
Users can still customize via shouldSyncHistoryMessage if needed.
- Add fallback chain for contact name: displayName || name || username
- Add fallback for LID: lidJid || accountLid
- Add TODO marker for WAJIDHASH support in picture updates
These fallbacks improve robustness when WhatsApp returns contact
data in different fields depending on account type (business, personal).
- Add optional ILogger parameter to processHistoryMessage and
downloadAndProcessHistorySyncNotification functions
- Add trace-level logging with syncType and progress for debugging
- Preserve all existing imports and LID-PN extraction functionality
- Enhanced JSDoc documentation with detailed parameter descriptions
This enables trace-level visibility into history sync processing,
helping debug issues with message synchronization and LID mappings.
Fixes 4 issues identified in PR #35 code review:
## 1. Self-Primary Identity Check (Copilot #1)
- BEFORE: `ctx.meId && (areJidsSameUser(...) || (ctx.meLid && ...))`
- AFTER: Check meId and meLid independently with OR
- FIX: Now correctly detects when only meLid exists
## 2. Debounce Cache Placement (Copilot #3, #4)
- BEFORE: Cache set immediately after debounce check
- AFTER: Cache set only before actual assertSessions call
- FIX: Prevents incorrect debouncing when exiting early (offline, etc.)
## 3. Session Regression (ChatGPT Codex P2)
- BEFORE: Returned 'skipped_no_session' when no session exists
- AFTER: Always call assertSessions - identity change IS the signal to rebuild
- FIX: Critical for key reset and device restore scenarios
## 4. Result Type Enhancement
- Added `hadExistingSession: boolean` to 'session_refreshed' result
- Removed 'skipped_no_session' action (no longer applicable)
- Enables better monitoring of session creation vs refresh
## Test Updates
- Added test for meLid-only self-primary detection
- Updated session creation test (no longer skips)
- Added test verifying debounce not set on offline skip
- Added Result Types test suite for type safety
Cherry-pick from upstream PR #2280 (commit 92d4198)
- Add STATUS_EXPIRY_SECONDS constant (24h = 86400s)
- Skip retry attempts for status broadcast messages older than 24h
- Saves resources by not retrying messages that are already expired

Add extractPnFromMessages() function to extract phone numbers from
userReceipt fields when pnJid is missing in LID conversations.
This is a cherry-pick of the functionality from upstream PR #2282
(commit f829b6d7a) integrated with our existing LID-PN extraction logic.
Closes: WhiskeySockets/Baileys#2282
Metrics with labels only appear in Prometheus output after being
incremented at least once. This fix pre-initializes all labeled metrics
with zero values so they appear in Grafana dashboards immediately,
including buffer_destroyed_total which was showing "No data".
Added metrics tracking for:
- message_retries_total: Incremented when message retry is attempted
- message_failures_total: Incremented when max retries reached or encryption fails
Note: messages_queued metric is not applicable as this implementation
sends messages directly without an explicit queue system.
Added metrics tracking for:
- circuit_breaker_trips_total: Incremented when circuit opens
- adaptive_health_status: 1 if healthy (not in aggressive mode), 0 otherwise
- adaptive_event_rate: Current events per second
Added methods to AdaptiveTimeoutCalculator:
- getEventRate(): Returns current event rate in events/second
- isHealthy(): Returns true if not in aggressive mode
Metrics are updated on each buffer flush when adaptive timeout is enabled.
Added recordBufferDestroyed() and recordBufferFinalFlush() functions
and integrated into destroy() function in event-buffer.ts.
Tracks:
- Buffer destruction with reason and whether there was pending flush
- Final flushes that occur during buffer destruction
Added recordConnectionError() function and integrated it into socket.ts
to track connection errors by type:
- connection_closed
- connection_lost
- connection_replaced
- timed_out
- logged_out
- bad_session
- restart_required
- multidevice_mismatch
- error_{code} for other status codes
The metric was defined but never incremented when buffer overflow occurred.
Added recordBufferOverflow() function and call it from checkBufferOverflow()
when buffer exceeds maxBufferSize (default 5000 events).
The metric was defined but never incremented when LRU cleanup happened.
Added recordCacheCleanup() function and call it from cleanupHistoryCache()
when cache entries are removed due to exceeding maxHistoryCacheSize.
The buffer_cache_size metric was defined but never updated, always showing 0.
Fix:
- Add historyCacheSize parameter to recordBufferFlush function
- Pass historyCache.size from event-buffer.ts when recording flush metrics
- Update both bufferCacheSize and bufferHistoryCacheSize metrics
The buffer_flushes_total metric was registered twice with different labels:
- In main metrics object: ['type', 'reason']
- In getEventBufferMetrics(): ['forced']
This caused recordBufferFlush() to silently fail because it tried to
increment with { forced } labels but the registered metric expected
{ type, reason } labels.
Fix:
- Remove duplicate bufferFlushes from getEventBufferMetrics()
- Update recordBufferFlush() to use metrics.bufferFlushes with correct labels
- Update recordEventBuffered() to use main metrics.eventsBuffered
- Rename local variable to avoid shadowing global metrics object
Previously, buffer metrics required a separate BAILEYS_BUFFER_METRICS=true
env variable even when BAILEYS_PROMETHEUS_ENABLED=true was set. This caused
the buffer_flushes_total metric to have no data even though flushes were
occurring.
Now buffer metrics are enabled automatically when either BAILEYS_BUFFER_METRICS
or BAILEYS_PROMETHEUS_ENABLED is set to true.
Added new metrics:
- active_connections: Number of active WhatsApp connections
- connection_errors_total: Total connection errors by type
- buffer_destroyed_total: Total buffers destroyed
- buffer_final_flush_total: Final flushes during destruction
- buffer_cache_cleanup_total: Cache cleanup operations
- buffer_cache_size: Current buffer cache size
- adaptive_health_status: System health (0=unhealthy, 1=healthy)
- adaptive_event_rate: Current event rate per second
These metrics are required for the Grafana dashboard to display all panels correctly.
Check if nodejs_eventloop_lag_seconds metric already exists before creating
it in SystemMetricsCollector. This prevents conflicts when collectDefaultMetrics
from prom-client has already registered metrics with the same name.
Added helper functions metricExists() and getExistingMetric() to safely
check and retrieve existing metrics from the custom registry.
The Prometheus metrics server was implemented but never started because
initializeMetrics() was never called. This fix adds automatic initialization
when the module is loaded and BAILEYS_PROMETHEUS_ENABLED=true.
This ensures the /metrics endpoint is available without requiring manual
initialization in the application code.
When hkdf became async, mutationKeys also became async but the call
site wasn't updated. This caused Promise<Promise<Key>> instead of
Promise<Key>, breaking contact sync events (contacts.upsert).

- Replace Function type with proper VersionCacheLogger interface
- Add documentation for cacheFilePath about container/serverless limitations
- Handle fetchInProgress in clearVersionCache to prevent cache restoration
- Add deduplication check in refreshVersionCache
- Remove unused fetchLatestWaWebVersion import
- Return success status from refreshVersionCache to detect fallback
- Fix inefficient getCachedVersion call - use cacheStatus.version directly
- Remove as any casts by using logger adapter pattern
- Don't downgrade version on transient network errors
Fixes from code review:
1. Fix #1,6: Use connection.update event instead of overriding sock.end()
- Listens for 'close' event to cleanup interval
- Handles both explicit close and internal disconnections
2. Fix#3: Exit code 2 when fetch fails (not 0)
- Allows CI to distinguish success/error/fetch-failed
- Properly signals fetch failures to workflows
3. Fix#4: Document revision bounds + add env vars
- Added detailed comments explaining min/max revision values
- Made configurable via WA_MIN_REVISION/WA_MAX_REVISION env vars
4. Fix #5,9: Remove unused fetchLatestVersion option
- Removed from SocketConfig and defaults
- Updated versionCheckIntervalMs docs to clarify it's only for makeWASocketAutoVersion
5. Fix#7: Use separate variable for version tracking
- trackedVersion instead of mutating mergedConfig
- Prevents unexpected side effects
6. Fix#8: Check socket state before emitting events
- isSocketClosed flag to prevent race conditions
- Double-check after async operations
7. Fix#10: Implement force parameter in workflow
- Creates PR even without version changes when force=true
- Useful for re-triggering updates manually
Note: Test coverage (Fix#2) deferred to separate PR due to
ESM mocking complexity with Jest.
Implements automatic version updates that are transparent to users:
- Checks for new WhatsApp Web version every 6 hours (configurable)
- When new version detected, saves it for next natural reconnection
- Emits 'version.update' event so users can track updates
- No disconnection required - WhatsApp naturally reconnects every 30min-2h
- Cleans up interval when socket closes
Configuration:
```typescript
const sock = await makeWASocketAutoVersion({
auth: state,
versionCheckIntervalMs: 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // 6 hours (default)
})
sock.ev.on('version.update', ({ currentVersion, newVersion, isCritical }) => {
console.log(`New version: ${newVersion.join('.')}`)
})
```
Adds a new async function that automatically fetches the latest
WhatsApp Web version from web.whatsapp.com before connecting.
Usage:
```typescript
// Option 1: Auto-fetch version (recommended)
const sock = await makeWASocketAutoVersion({ auth: state })
// Option 2: Manual version (existing behavior)
const sock = makeWASocket({ auth: state })
```
Benefits:
- No need to update library for version changes
- Automatic fallback to bundled version if fetch fails
- Logged warnings when using fallback
Instead of maintaining the version number in 3 separate files
(baileys-version.json, index.ts, generics.ts), this change makes
baileys-version.json the single source of truth. Other files now
import the version from this JSON file.
This follows the DRY principle and reduces:
- Risk of version inconsistency across files
- Maintenance burden (only 1 file to update)
- PR diff size (3 files → 1 file for version updates)
- Merge conflict probability
Addresses inefficiency found in Baileys PR #2269.
Messages from Facebook/Instagram ads (Click-to-WhatsApp) don't arrive on
linked devices because Meta's ads endpoint doesn't encrypt for multi-device.
They arrive as "Message absent from node" placeholders.
This change automatically requests the message from the primary phone via
PDO (Peer Data Operation) when a CTWA placeholder is detected.
Changes:
- Add enableCTWARecovery config option (default: true)
- Trigger requestPlaceholderResend() for "Message absent from node" errors
- Add comprehensive unit tests for CTWA recovery functionality

Merge master branch and resolve conflicts:
- Use import from '../WABinary/index.js' (master convention)
- Keep the bug fix: || instead of && in extractLidPnFromMessage
- Combine comprehensive tests from both branches
- Use Map for deduplication (master implementation)
All 55 tests passing.
Address PR #20 code review feedback:
- Fix logical bug: changed `&&` to `||` in isPersonJid validation
This ensures BOTH JIDs must be person JIDs before extracting
a LID-PN mapping, preventing "poisoned" mappings where one side
is a group/newsletter/broadcast
- Add isPersonJid() helper to validate JID types
- Add extractLidPnFromConversation() to extract mappings from
conversation lidJid/pnJid properties
- Add extractLidPnFromMessage() to extract mappings from message
remoteJidAlt/participantAlt fields
- Update processHistoryMessage() to use new extraction functions
- Add comprehensive tests covering edge cases for mixed JID types
(person + group, person + broadcast, person + newsletter)
Note: Returning `undefined` is the correct TypeScript convention
for indicating absence of value (as per TypeScript team guidelines)
Enhances LID-PN mapping extraction to handle all WhatsApp JID formats
and extract mappings from multiple sources within history sync data.
New JID validation:
- Add `isPersonJid()` helper to identify JIDs that can have LID-PN mappings
- Skip non-person JIDs: @newsletter (channels), @broadcast, @g.us (groups)
Triple-source extraction:
1. Top-level `phoneNumberToLidMappings` array (existing)
2. Conversation objects via `lidJid`/`pnJid` properties (existing)
3. Message objects via `remoteJidAlt`/`participantAlt` fields (NEW)
New `extractLidPnFromMessage()` function:
- Extracts mappings from message key alternative JID fields
- Handles both direct messages (remoteJidAlt) and group messages (participantAlt)
- Properly identifies LID vs PN based on server type
JID formats handled:
- @s.whatsapp.net - Standard phone number
- @lid - Logical ID (privacy)
- @hosted - Hosted phone number
- @hosted.lid - Hosted LID
46 comprehensive tests covering all scenarios.
