The previous condition `!isJidGroup()` was too broad and would incorrectly
inject bot nodes for status broadcasts, newsletters, and Meta AI bots.
Now uses explicit checks for private 1:1 user conversations:
- isPnUser() for @s.whatsapp.net JIDs
- isLidUser() for @lid JIDs
- @c.us suffix for legacy format
- Excludes bot JIDs with isJidBot()
This prevents potential issues with message delivery to non-user destinations.

Address PR review comment: the viewOnceMessage detection now checks
all 7 message types for consistency with direct message detection:
- buttonsMessage
- templateMessage
- listMessage
- buttonsResponseMessage
- listResponseMessage
- templateButtonReplyMessage
- interactiveMessage
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The getButtonType function was not detecting interactive messages
when wrapped inside viewOnceMessage (the modern nativeFlowMessage format).
This fix adds detection for:
- viewOnceMessage > interactiveMessage
- viewOnceMessage > listMessage
- viewOnceMessage > buttonsMessage
When enableInteractiveMessages is true, the 'biz' node will now be
correctly injected for messages using the viewOnceMessage wrapper.

1. Add logger to writeCacheFile (version-cache.ts)
- Now logs warnings when file write fails
- Helps debugging in production environments
2. Sanitize logging in parseGroupResult (communities.ts)
- Changed from info to debug level
- Removed full node/groupNode dumps (sensitive data)
- Now only logs nodeTag and groupId
3. Add input validation in parseNewsletterCreateResponse (newsletter.ts)
- Validates response structure before destructuring
- Adds fallback values for parseInt (prevents NaN)
- Adds null checks for optional fields
4. Add health-status.ts module
- getHealthStatus(): Full health check with circuit breakers, cache, memory
- isHealthy(): Simple boolean for liveness probes
- getSimpleHealthStatus(): Returns 'ok', 'degraded', or 'error'
- Useful for k8s probes and monitoring dashboards
Fixes 3 issues identified in code review:
1. ENV VAR PRECEDENCE: Changed DEFAULT_CONNECTION_CONFIG to use
undefined for enableUnifiedSession, allowing env var
BAILEYS_UNIFIED_SESSION_ENABLED to take precedence.
Priority is now: explicit config > env var > default (true)
2. SINGLE INITIALIZATION: UnifiedSessionManager is now created
only once, after sendNode is defined. This avoids:
- Duplicate circuit breaker instances
- State reinitialization
- Unnecessary overhead and logs
3. CONTINUOUS TIME SYNC: serverTimeOffset is now updated on
every received frame that contains a 't' attribute, not just
on CB:success. This keeps the offset accurate even during
long-running connections.
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)

Fix TS2345 errors where array element access (medias[i]) was inferred as
`AlbumMediaItem | undefined` instead of `AlbumMediaItem`.
Changes:
- Add non-null assertion (!) after array access in for loops
- Add explicit cast to AnyMessageContent for hasNonNullishProperty calls
The non-null assertion is safe here because we iterate with `i < medias.length`,
guaranteeing the index is valid.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Addresses additional PR review suggestions:
1. **Consistent media type validation**
- Changed from `'image' in m` to `hasNonNullishProperty(m, 'image')`
- Aligns with validation in generateWAMessageContent
- Prevents counting items with undefined image/video properties
2. **Explicit interrupted send indication**
- Added `attemptedItems: number` - how many items were actually tried
- Added `stoppedEarly: boolean` - true if interrupted by continueOnFailure=false
- Updated `success` to be false if stoppedEarly (even if no failures in attempted items)
- Helps automated integrations understand partial sends
Example result when interrupted:
```json
{
"totalItems": 5,
"attemptedItems": 3,
"successCount": 2,
"failedCount": 1,
"stoppedEarly": true,
"success": false
}
```

Fixes all issues identified in PR #44 review:
1. **Album root message now relayed to server** (Critical)
- Before: Only generated root message, never sent it
- After: Calls relayMessage() on albumRootMsg before sending media items
- Also emits own event if emitOwnEvents is enabled
2. **Fixed messageId collision**
- Before: Spread ...options could pass same messageId to all items
- After: Explicitly pass only safe options (timestamp, quoted, etc.)
- Each media item now gets a fresh ID from generateWAMessage
3. **Fixed proto structure for album association**
- Before: Used non-existent messageContextInfo.messageAddOnType
- After: Uses correct messageContextInfo.messageAssociation with:
- associationType: proto.MessageAssociation.AssociationType.MEDIA_ALBUM
- parentMessageKey: albumKey
4. **Added runtime error for sendMessage misuse**
- sendMessage() now throws clear error if called with { album: ... }
- Forces users to use sendAlbumMessage() for proper behavior
5. **Fixed documentation**
- delay: Changed "based on media size" to "based on media type"
- retryAttempts: Clarified it's "total attempts" not just retries
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

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.

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).
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

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 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
- 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
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 Prometheus metrics for CTWA recovery tracking
- Add comprehensive unit tests for CTWA recovery functionality
Resolves: https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys/issues/1723
Resolves: https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys/issues/1034
Based on RSocket's battle-tested configuration:
- Add maxWebSocketListeners config option (default: 20)
- 8 base WS events + 10 dynamic listeners + 2 buffer slots
- Add maxSocketClientListeners config option (default: 50)
- Replace dangerous setMaxListeners(0) with configurable limits
- Add warning log if user explicitly sets limit to 0
BREAKING: Previous behavior used setMaxListeners(0) which removed
all limits. Now defaults to safe limits but can be overridden via config.

* Memory leak in makeMutex - Promise never gets garbage collected
Hey, I've been debugging a memory leak in my application and traced it back to the makeMutex implementation.
The current implementation chains promises indefinitely without ever breaking the chain:
Every call to mutex() creates a new Promise that awaits the previous task, then becomes the new task. The problem is the old promises never get released because each one holds a reference to the previous through the closure.
What I found
Took a heap snapshot after running for a while and found hundreds of Promises from make-mutex.js holding ~15MB and growing. The retainer graph shows a long chain of Promises all pointing back to each other.
Since processingMutex handles every incoming message/notification, this chain grows constantly and never shrinks.
This keeps the same mutex behavior but lets the GC clean up old promises every 50 tasks instead of holding them forever.
* Refactor makeMutex to use AsyncMutex directly
* lint
* revert
