The import of TimeMs from Defaults/index.ts caused a circular
dependency error in ESM:
"ReferenceError: Cannot access 'TimeMs' before initialization"
Solution: Define TimeMs constants locally in unified-session.ts
instead of importing from Defaults. This avoids the ESM module
initialization order issue.
Implements WhatsApp's unified_session telemetry feature to reduce
detection of unofficial clients. This is an enterprise-grade implementation
inspired by whatsmeow PR #1057 and Baileys PR #2294.
Features:
- UnifiedSessionManager class with circuit breaker protection
- Server time synchronization for accurate session IDs
- Rate limiting to prevent spam (1 minute between sends)
- Prometheus metrics integration (unified_session_sent, errors)
- Structured logging for debugging
- Configurable via SocketConfig.enableUnifiedSession
- Environment variable support (BAILEYS_UNIFIED_SESSION_ENABLED)
Trigger points (matching official WhatsApp Web):
- After successful login (CB:success)
- After successful pairing (CB:iq,,pair-success)
- When sending 'available' presence
Implementation details:
- Session ID algorithm: (now + serverOffset + 3days) % 7days
- Time constants exported from Defaults/index.ts
- Full test coverage (31 tests)
