Automatically prefixes responses with a configurable string when in
same-phone mode. This helps distinguish bot replies from user messages
in the same chat bubble.
Example config:
"samePhoneResponsePrefix": "🦞"
Will prefix all same-phone replies with the lobster emoji.
Adds full support for self-messaging setups where you chat with yourself
and an AI assistant replies in the same WhatsApp bubble.
Changes:
- Same-phone mode (from === to) always allowed, bypasses allowFrom check
- Echo detection via bounded Set (max 100) prevents infinite loops
- Configurable samePhoneMarker in config (default: "[same-phone]")
- Messages prefixed with marker so assistants know the context
- fromMe filter removed from inbound.ts (echo detection in auto-reply)
- Verbose logging for same-phone detection and echo skips
Tests:
- Same-phone allowed without/despite allowFrom configuration
- Body prefixed only when from === to
- Non-same-phone rejected when not in allowFrom
- Wrap Baileys connection.update listeners in try-catch to prevent
unhandled exceptions from crashing the relay process
- Add WebSocket-level error handlers in session.ts
- Add global unhandledRejection/uncaughtException handlers in index.ts
- Make listener.onClose error-safe with .catch() in auto-reply.ts
- Change default heartbeat from 30min to 10min
- Rewrite claude-config.md with personality, better explain personal
assistant features, add recommended MCPs section
- Add support for WhatsApp Linked ID (@lid) format in jidToE164()
- Use existing lid-mapping-*_reverse.json files for LID resolution
- Fix allowFrom wildcard '*' to actually allow all senders
- Maintain backward compatibility with @s.whatsapp.net format
Fixes issues where:
- Messages from newer WhatsApp versions are silently dropped
- allowFrom: ['*'] configuration doesn't work as documented
