feat(chat-bot): thread context for a turn, and un-mentioned follow-ups - #992
Conversation
…llow-ups
A mention arrived as one sentence with nothing around it: the model saw
"and the payments call?" and had no idea what call. Connectors now answer
`history(target, { limit, before })` — the messages written before this one,
newest first — and the relay renders them into the fenced context block the
turn already carried, oldest first, marking what a bot said and leaving out
whatever the conversation's session transcript already holds. The block also
carries the time, which nothing in the prompt did: a turn an hour into a
thread was reading the thread's first timestamp as "now".
A message that mentioned nobody can now be a turn too, but only in a
conversation the bot OPENED itself, and only while that conversation's
session has held a turn, the last one was inside a day, a human wrote the
message and the message has text. The relay object remembers which
conversations those are — its first and only durable state — because the
object that opens a thread is not the one that handles the thread's later
messages. A channel the bot was invited to, and a thread somebody else
started and mentioned it in once, both stay mention-only.
On Discord both features need the privileged MESSAGE_CONTENT intent, which
gates content over REST as well as over the gateway. It is opt-in behind
MAPLE_DISCORD_MESSAGE_CONTENT_INTENT and off by default, because identifying
with an intent the application has not been granted is close code 4014 — the
socket already treats that as fatal, and now says which switch to move.

- Around line 166-168: Update the opened-conversation recording step in the turn

the turn from continuing; keep ownership recording as optional work and handle
its failure without turning it into a defect.

message.mentionsBot before evaluating ports.announceUnlinked, so ordinary
messages cannot consume the notice; preserve the existing notice-posting
behavior for bot mentions.
- Around line 182-183: Update how `seenUpTo` is derived from `transcript` so it
uses the timestamp of the last event, not the assistant message’s `createdAt`
from `turn-start`; if that event timestamp is unavailable, exclude Maple’s own
`authorId` entries from `contextLines` when they are newer than `seenUpTo`.
- Around line 186-191: In the relay turn flow, check follow-up eligibility for
non-mentions before calling `resolveWorkspace` or loading session history:
resolve the conversation with `transport.conversation(message)`, then call
`ports.ownsConversation` and return the existing not-addressed result when it is
false. Reuse the resolved conversation and ownership result later in
`isFollowUpTurn`; preserve the current lookup order for mentions.

Review round on the thread-context change. The serious one: recording that the bot opened a conversation is a Durable Object write and, for a thread with its own address, a cross-object RPC — through `Effect.promise`, so a rejection was a defect raised before `beginTurn`, in a thread the bot had just opened. A transient failure there answered somebody's question with an empty thread. Both storage ports now fail soft where they are implemented: an unrecorded conversation costs the follow-ups after this turn, an unreadable marker means mention-only, and neither costs the turn. The reads that stay best-effort now say why they fell back. An unreadable session transcript is a typed failure and a log line rather than silence — it disables follow-ups AND re-shows the conversation the transcript already holds, so it is the one degradation worth finding in a log. A history read that fails logs its status, because a permission the bot was never granted and a bad minute are otherwise the same line. A mention that opens no thread logs too: that refusal now decides whether the conversation takes unaddressed messages at all. Also from review: the clock is read through `Clock`; a page of history is decoded message by message, so one Discord adds a field to costs itself rather than the conversation around it, and its parse failure no longer carries other people's text into an error value; the REST half reads the gateway half's user schema instead of a second copy; `ChatHistoryMessage` loses the author id nothing read; and an unaddressed message no longer spends the unlinked notice a later mention would have used. Tests: the relay object's marker gets its own file — per-conversation keying, local write versus RPC, and a deployment with no relay binding — plus the optional config key that keeps the connector running, the two failure paths, transcript dedupe end to end, the budget cut, and the whole identify intent value rather than one bit of it.
Three from the automated review, all on the unaddressed-message path. An unaddressed message was paying for a database connection and a session read before anything asked whether the bot owns the conversation at all — and owning it is a read of the relay object's own storage. On a deployment with the content intent on, that is every message in every channel the bot can see. The rule is now two halves named for what they cost: `couldAnswerUnaddressed` (the conversation is the bot's own, a human wrote it, there is something in it) runs first, off storage alone, and `conversationStillLive` runs once the session has been read. The conversation is resolved early for those messages, which costs nothing — a connector opens nothing for a message that addressed nobody — and a mention still resolves after the workspace, so an unlinked server does not collect empty threads. The context block also stopped showing Maple its own last answer. An assistant message is dated from when its turn STARTED, so an answer that took half a minute to write lands on the platform after its own watermark and came back as context. In a conversation whose session has already spoken, a bot's message is that session's own output; before the first turn it is a genuine question — an alert, a deploy — and stays.

Both review rounds are in — the Effect v4 reviewers and CodeRabbit converged on the same three things, and all of them are fixed. Bookkeeping could cost the answer.

…ng it on The gateway identifies with `GUILDS | GUILD_MESSAGES | MESSAGE_CONTENT` on every connection, and `MAPLE_DISCORD_MESSAGE_CONTENT_INTENT` is gone — the key, the README opt-in, and the tests for the switch. A grant that has to be made once in the developer portal, and that stays made, is not a per-deploy decision; carrying it as one meant every deployment could be a bot that reads a conversation and a bot that cannot, and two behaviours to explain. `ConnectorConfigKey.optional` goes with it: that switch was its only user (the Slack connector on #993 declares none), and a connector config key that may be absent is a distinction the contract does not otherwise need. 4014 stays fatal-not-a-loop and now names the fix rather than a variable: enable Message Content Intent for this application in the Discord developer portal (Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents). The README says the intent is required, that verification is needed above 100 servers, and that flipping the toggle drops the socket for about a minute — Discord closes every connection when an application's intents change, and the cron tick brings it back. Messages with no text are still ignored, which was never really about the intent: an embed, an attachment and a system notice all arrive that way.

The context block is fenced by two literal markers, and everything the connector reads goes inside it. A display name or a message carrying the closing marker therefore ended the block early: the model read the rest as instructions rather than as a quoted conversation, and the app, which cuts a message at the FIRST close, rendered the remainder as something the asker typed. Both markers are now taken out of every history line and of the asker's own name. Nobody types them, so no message loses anything. The follow-up tests were also reading two clocks at once — the relay takes the time from `Clock`, which `it.effect` backs with `TestClock`, while the transcript fixture used `Date.now()`. Against a clock at zero a stale conversation looks like a future one and every window check passes for the wrong reason. They now set the test clock to a fixed instant, date the transcript from it, and assert the turn was told that instant — plus the case the window exists for, a conversation quiet for more than a day. Discord's threshold for reviewing privileged intents is 10,000 users who can see the app, not 100 servers, and access is reapplied for annually; the README said otherwise and called the grant a one-time step.

Latest round, three of four taken. Context-marker injection (real, and the best catch of the review). Everything the connector reads goes inside the fenced block, and the fence is two literal markers in the text — so a display name or a message carrying the closing one ended the block early. The model then read the tail as instructions rather than as a quoted conversation, and the app, which cuts a message at the first close, rendered the remainder as something the asker typed. Both markers are now stripped from every history line and from the asker's own name; nobody types them, so no message loses anything. Test asserts the markers appear exactly once each and that the user's question is still the user's. Two clocks in the follow-up tests. The relay reads The 100-server threshold was wrong — thank you. Checked against Discord's own docs: review kicks in past 10,000 users who can see the app, and access is reapplied for annually.

Everything it adds is visible in Maple: the relay turn span carries the new decisions (maple.chat.mentioned, maple.chat.owns_conversation, maple.chat.relay outcomes), the new Discord history REST call rides the existing Discord.request client span with peer.service and url.template, and every new failure path logs structured errors through the worker telemetry bridge in relay/run.ts.

Failed conversation-ownership write is swallowed by a console.error that never reaches Maple · STAT-02 · warn
rememberOpened catches its own failure and reports it with a bare console.error, which per this repository's own documentation (packages/infra/src/cloudflare/worker-http.ts:41-44) goes to the console instead of the event's exporter and never reaches Maple. The port is also written so its Effect never fails (it catches internally), so the turn's chat_bot.relay_turn span carries no marker either. This is the one failure that decides whether follow-ups exist in a conversation at all — after it, the bot silently stops answering unaddressed messages there, with no trace in Maple to notice.
Let the port carry the failure and log it where the telemetry layer is live, the idiom this same PR uses for the transcript and history reads in turn.ts: `ports.rememberConversation(conversation).pipe(Effect.tapError((error) => Effect.logWarning("Conversation not recorded as the bot's own").pipe(Effect.annotateLogs({ "error.type": summarizeCause(error) }))))`, and rethrow from rememberOpened instead of the console.error catch.

#992 arrived twice — once as its branch, which this PR merged to build against the same contract, and once as main's own merge of it — so every one of its files conflicted with itself. Resolved to main's version throughout: none of them is this PR's work. Two things main's #992 does NOT have, which the branch version did, and which are therefore dropped here rather than resurrected: the privileged `MESSAGE_CONTENT` intent switch on the other connector, and the `ConnectorConfigKey.optional` flag that existed to carry it. Nothing in this build reads either.

A mention reached the model as one sentence with nothing around it, and the bot only ever spoke when it was named. This is both halves of that: the conversation a turn is taken in, and a message in the bot's own thread being a turn without a mention.
What a turn now carries
ChatOutboundTransportgains one member:— the messages written in a conversation before one, newest first, because that is the order both bounds cut in and the order every platform's own history API answers in.
ChatHistoryMessageis{ displayName, isBot, text, at }.apps/chat-bot/src/relay/conversation.tsrenders it into the fencedwrapChatContextblock the turn already carried:replyTarget), everything before it — so a mention in an existing human thread gets that thread, and a top-level mention gets the channel it opened a thread from;ISO Name (bot): text, newlines collapsed, 400 chars per message;createdAtis dropped, and in a conversation whose session has already spoken, so is anything a bot wrote — an assistant message is dated from when its turn started, so a long answer lands on the platform after its own watermark and would otherwise be read twice. Before the first turn a bot's message is often the question itself (an alert, a deploy) and stays;A history call that fails is a warning carrying its status and an empty list: less context, not a refused answer.
When the bot answers without being mentioned
Connectors report
mentionsBot: falsemessages now. The rule is vendor-neutral, has no model call, and is two halves split by what it costs to ask:couldAnswerUnaddressed— off the relay object's own storage, before anything else:conversationStillLive— once the session has been read:Everything else stays mention-only, and an unaddressed message that is not answered leaves no trace at all — no unlinked notice, no busy notice, nothing. The ordering matters: on a deployment that can see every message in every channel, almost all of them stop at the storage read, before a Postgres connection or a Durable Object call has been spent.
Condition 1 is what keeps a bot out of a team's conversations: a channel it was invited to, and a thread somebody else started and mentioned it in once, both stay mention-only however recently it spoke there. It also closes the dangerous case — a channel where the bot cannot create threads, whose session is therefore keyed to the whole channel.
Decisions taken (owner away)
ChatConversationgainsopened: boolean(the connector answers it when it opens one). The alternative — deriving it from the session's first user message — is not available:ChatMessagecarries no origin, and adding one means touchingChatSession. The object that opens a thread is not the object that handles the thread's later messages, so the write is one RPC to the conversation's own relay; when they are the same object it writes locally, because a Durable Object calling itself deadlocks behind its own input gate. Both storage ports fail soft where they are implemented: an unrecorded conversation costs the follow-ups after this turn, an unreadable marker means mention-only, and neither costs the turn its answer.MESSAGE_CONTENTis required, not switched (owner call). The gateway identifies withGUILDS | GUILD_MESSAGES | MESSAGE_CONTENTon every connection; there is no env var. The grant is made once in the developer portal and stays made, so carrying it as a per-deploy flag only meant two behaviours to explain. 4014 stays fatal-not-a-loop and now names the fix (portal → Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents) rather than a variable. Flipping the toggle drops the socket for about a minute — Discord closes every connection when an application's intents change, and the cron tick brings it back.follow-up-relevance.tsis the precedent); it would let the bot speak in more places, at a per-message cost and a new way to be wrong.Why the intent is not optional
Verified against current Discord docs:
MESSAGE_CONTENTgatescontentover the REST API too, not only the gateway. Without ithistoryreturns empty text for everything except messages that mention the bot, so the context block degrades to the time and the asker, and unaddressed follow-ups are never seen at all — both features of this PR are the intent. Above 100 servers Discord requires verification and approval for it, so apply before you grow into it. Messages with no text are still ignored (an embed, an attachment, a system notice): the gateway drops unaddressed ones before they cost a host round trip, andinbound.tsdrops another bot's message and an empty one before they cost a Durable Object call.Tests
