message_new

message_new is implemented by handleMessageNew in src/api/handlers/message/message_new.osl.

Handles the message new protocol operation through the resource-specific helper and storage layers.

Gate Requirement
Authentication Required by the central API gate.
Central permission None. Resource, channel, ownership, or hierarchy checks may still apply in the handler/helpers.
Broadcast Yes. The transport removes the internal marker and filters recipients by channel visibility.

Every request includes cmd: "message_new" and may include an opaque listener correlation value.

Field Validation / meaning
channel schema.string().defaultValue("")
thread_id schema.string().defaultValue("")
content schema.string().optional()
embeds schema.array(schema.any()).optional()
attachments schema.array(schema.any()).optional()
reply_to schema.string().optional()
ping schema.boolean().optional()
author_id schema.string().optional()
key_id schema.string().optional()
signature schema.string().optional()
timestamp schema.number().optional()

The handler and shared validation path use these OSL schema definitions before normalization:

*schema.Schema schemaMessageNew = schema.object({
channel: schema.string().defaultValue(""),
thread_id: schema.string().defaultValue(""),
content: schema.string().optional(),
embeds: schema.array(schema.any()).optional(),
attachments: schema.array(schema.any()).optional(),
reply_to: schema.string().optional(),
ping: schema.boolean().optional(),
author_id: schema.string().optional(),
key_id: schema.string().optional(),
signature: schema.string().optional(),
timestamp: schema.number().optional()
})
  1. handleCmd enforces authentication.
  2. dispatchCmd routes message_new to handleMessageNew.
  3. The adapter validates and normalizes input, then calls its domain collaborators.
  4. Durable mutations complete before the response or event is returned.
  5. onMessage adds the request listener to direct responses and performs any marked broadcast.

Direct collaborators visible in the handler: messageContext, messageSigningData, messagePayloadError, attachmentResolve, validateRoleMentionsPermissions, userFromId, messageRateLimit, configGetString, storedMessageById, randomUUID

Response/event command names visible in this adapter: message_new.

Validation and domain failures use:

{
"cmd": "error",
"val": "<message>",
"src": "message_new",
"listener": "<copied from request>"
}
