External applications need to wake a particular conversation without receiving the user's browser login credentials. This adds a small, generic API with tokens scoped to a single thread.

An agent calls message_token with {"action":"register"} in the intended thread. Wirebot records that thread and its existing reply destination and returns a random token. The external application posts {token, text, files?} to /api/messages; files contain a plain filename and base64 bytes. The agent resumes the original thread even if /new has since selected another one, and replies through the existing messenger. Registration takes no caller-supplied thread or destination.

Tokens are stored as hashes and can be revoked from their originating thread. Authorization is checked again when queued work starts. External inputs are marked untrusted and cannot use the token-management tool. File uploads are limited to five files and 10 MiB combined, with no server paths or download URLs. This scopes API access; it does not isolate software running as Wirebot's OS user or root.

The bundled capabilities/skills/external-messages/SKILL.md teaches agents registration, text/file submissions, exact-thread routing, revocation, and the trust boundary. Provider-specific webhook handling stays outside Wirebot. Submission uses the existing in-memory queue; HTTP 202 is acceptance, not durable completion.

Validation: typecheck and Biome, all 35 tests, compiled binary/version smoke check (0.3.2), and skill validation passed. Tests cover token persistence and revocation, authorization and destination restrictions, file handling, HTTP submissions, and resuming the original thread without changing the chat's selected thread. Not deployed.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with one non-blocking Bearer-authentication interoperability issue.

Summary

Adds an authenticated POST /api/messages endpoint that routes text through the existing conversation and connector response flow.

  • Accepts existing browser-session tokens as Bearer credentials while retaining cookie and Telegram Mini App authentication.
  • Adds connector-specific responder construction for Discord, Slack, and Telegram.
  • Validates bounded message-only payloads and prevents caller-controlled routing.
  • Replaces the previous GitHub webhook implementation with the session-scoped message API.

P1 Shutdown abandons active turns

During shutdown, stop() waits for the current persistence chain but not an active drain() or Codex turn. Because this worker is stopped before the channels and Codex RPC, those dependencies can be torn down while the turn is still running. A late publication can then fail, or an accepted delivery can be recorded as failed instead of completing cleanly. Track and await the active drain, as the scheduled-runs engine does for its in-flight work.

P1 Thread identity is unchecked

The configured conversationKey and threadId are used independently without checking that the existing thread belongs to that conversation. If an operator copies a stale or incorrect identifier, Wirebot resumes one conversation's Codex thread and registers its session under another key. This can mix conversation history and break later foreground or background routing. Validate the pair against the conversation store before running the webhook turn.

P1 Startup drops webhook deliveries

The HTTP server starts listening before the webhook controller is connected. With a stable public URL, a valid GitHub delivery can arrive during this startup window, skip webhook handling, fall through to Mini App authentication, and receive a 401 without being persisted. That delivery is lost unless an operator later redelivers it. Connect the controller before exposing the server, or return a retryable unavailable response until initialization finishes.

P2 Bearer scheme is case-sensitive

The new authentication branch uses a case-sensitive startsWith("Bearer ") check. A valid session sent as Authorization: bearer <token> therefore falls through to the TMA branch and receives a 401, even though HTTP authentication schemes are case-insensitive. Compare only the scheme case-insensitively while preserving the token value.

Suggested change
if (authorization?.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
return this.requireBrowserAuth().authenticate(authorization.slice(7));
}
if (authorization?.slice(0, 7).toLowerCase() === "bearer ") {
return this.requireBrowserAuth().authenticate(authorization.slice(7));
}
