Omar Shahine 6f1d321aab feat(bluebubbles): replay missed webhook messages after gateway restart (#66857)
Adds an in-process startup catchup pass to the BlueBubbles channel that
queries BB Server for messages delivered since a persisted per-account
cursor and re-feeds each through the existing processMessage pipeline.

Fixes the missed-message hole documented in #66721: BB's WebhookService
is fire-and-forget on POST failure, and MessagePoller only re-fires
webhooks on BB-side reconnection events, not on webhook-receiver
recovery.

- New extensions/bluebubbles/src/catchup.ts with singleflight per
  accountId, cursor persistence via the canonical state-paths
  resolver, bounded query (perRunLimit + maxAgeMinutes), failure-held
  cursor, truncation-aware page-boundary advancement, future-cursor
  recovery, isFromMe filter (pre- and post-normalization).
- monitor.ts fires catchup as a background task after the webhook
  target registers.
- config-schema.ts adds optional catchup block; accounts.ts adds
  catchup to nestedObjectKeys for deep-merge per-account overrides.
- Dedupes against #66816's persistent inbound GUID cache.
- 22 scoped tests; full BB suite 411/411; pnpm check green; live E2E
  on macOS 26.3 / BB Server 1.9.x recovered 3/3 missed messages.

Closes #66721.

BlueBubbles extension (developer reference)

This package contains the BlueBubbles external channel plugin for OpenClaw.

If youre looking for how to use BlueBubbles as an agent/tool user, see:

  • skills/bluebubbles/SKILL.md

Layout

  • Package entry: index.ts.
  • Channel implementation: src/channel.ts.
  • Webhook handling: src/monitor.ts (register per-account route via registerPluginHttpRoute).
  • REST helpers: src/send.ts + src/probe.ts.
  • Runtime bridge: src/runtime.ts (set via api.runtime).
  • Catalog entry for setup selection: src/channels/plugins/catalog.ts.

Internal helpers (use these, not raw API calls)

  • probeBlueBubbles in src/probe.ts for health checks.
  • sendMessageBlueBubbles in src/send.ts for text delivery.
  • resolveChatGuidForTarget in src/send.ts for chat lookup.
  • sendBlueBubblesReaction in src/reactions.ts for tapbacks.
  • sendBlueBubblesTyping + markBlueBubblesChatRead in src/chat.ts.
  • downloadBlueBubblesAttachment in src/attachments.ts for inbound media.
  • buildBlueBubblesApiUrl + blueBubblesFetchWithTimeout in src/types.ts for shared REST plumbing.

Webhooks

  • BlueBubbles posts JSON to the gateway HTTP server.
  • Normalize sender/chat IDs defensively (payloads vary by version).
  • Skip messages marked as from self.
  • Route into core reply pipeline via the plugin runtime (api.runtime) and openclaw/plugin-sdk helpers.
  • For attachments/stickers, use <media:...> placeholders when text is empty and attach media paths via MediaUrl(s) in the inbound context.

Config (core)

  • channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl (base URL), channels.bluebubbles.password, channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath.
  • Action gating: channels.bluebubbles.actions.reactions (default true).

Message tool notes

  • Reactions: the react action requires a target (phone number or chat identifier) in addition to messageId. Example: action=react target=+15551234567 messageId=ABC123 emoji=❤️
