Headless shadow Client driven by injected nodes and a pluggable relay - #43
Headless shadow Client driven by injected nodes and a pluggable relay#43purpshell wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
Add a headless (shadow) Client that runs whatsmeow's full protocol handling (binary (de)coding, stanza dispatch, node handlers, event emission) without a live socket, for embedding the protocol layer inside another system. - ShadowRelay: pluggable backend a headless client delegates real-session work to (outbound SendNode + a session/keying oracle: DecryptDM, EncryptForDevice, FetchPreKeys, GetUserDevices, GetUserInfo, ResolveLID, GetPrivacyToken). Defined purely in whatsmeow-ecosystem types. - NewShadowClient: builds a real *Client with nodeHandlers populated like NewClient, no socket, Connect guarded (ErrShadowClientNoConnect), Store = seeded snapshot; send path routes marshaled nodes through relay.SendNode; Signal/keying entry points consult the relay; LID/privacy-token store reads fall back to the relay behind the seeded snapshot. - InjectNode: replays the receive-loop dispatch for an already-decoded node (RawNodeHandler hook, Signal-disabled handoff, IQ correlation, tag handlers) synchronously, since a shadow starts no handler-queue loop. - sendNodeAndGetData fails closed when there is neither socket nor relay, so a write can never silently escape or nil-panic on the absent socket. Adds shadow_test.go (fork-internal). (cherry picked from commit 1cdccb8)
hypermeow replaced whatsmeow's nodeHandlers map with a closed switch and removed Node.XMLString. The headless shadow Client needs the table to dispatch injected nodes synchronously, and embedders that hook the map via reflection (upstream-compatible) keep working. handleNode / hasNodeHandler now read the table; NewClient fills it from defaultNodeHandlers. Log lines use Node's Stringer.

- Around line 605-609: Update the ShadowRelay.DecryptDM contract and its
implementation to return already-unpadded plaintext before Client.decryptDM
passes it to decryptMessages; document this requirement at the DecryptDM symbol,
and do not add serverTS handling or event buffering changes.
In `@shadow.go`:
- Around line 164-167: Update InjectNode to invoke handleOutOfBandNode before
the Signal-disabled message handoff, matching handleFrame’s dispatch order;
ensure out-of-band business notifications deliver the nonce and set
businessNonceDeliveredAttr before normal message handling.
- Around line 210-213: Update shadowLIDStore.GetManyLIDsForPNs to merge the
inner CachedLIDMap results, identify phone-number JIDs without mappings, and
resolve only those missing entries through ShadowRelay before returning the
combined mapping and error.
- Around line 119-122: Update NewShadowClient to validate relay before
constructing or returning the client, rejecting a nil relay instead of creating
a normal client that can reach unlockedConnect. Ensure valid relay values
preserve the existing shadow store initialization and client behavior.
In `@user.go`:
- Around line 647-651: Update the shadow-client branch in GetUserDevices to
handle bot JIDs before delegating to shadowRelay.GetUserDevices, preserving bot
recipients even when the relay returns no device entry. Document that
types.MessengerServer JIDs must follow the getFBIDDevices behavior used by the
non-shadow path.

…lay, keep dispatch order Addresses the review on #43: - Group (sender-key) cryptography is not delegated to the relay; a shadow now rejects skmsg decryption, sendGroup and sendGroupV3 with ErrShadowGroupUnsupported instead of creating or reading sender keys in the seeded snapshot. - shadowLIDStore.GetManyLIDsForPNs merges the seeded mappings with relay resolutions for every missing phone number. - ShadowRelay.DecryptDM documents that it must return unpadded plaintext. - NewShadowClient panics on a nil relay or device store rather than returning a client that could open a socket. - InjectNode runs handleOutOfBandNode before dispatch, like handleFrame. - Shadow GetUserDevices keeps bot JIDs local and delegates the rest.

…nil relays Round two of the #43 review: a shadow acknowledges and surfaces an skmsg it cannot decrypt as UndecryptableMessage instead of requesting redelivery, and NewShadowClient panics on a typed-nil relay as well as a plain nil one (constructor test added).

Summary
A headless shadow
Client: a real*whatsmeow.Clientwith no socket, driven by injected nodes and a pluggable relay. A host that already owns the WhatsApp connection (elsewhere, on another process) can run unmodified call engines such as meowcaller against it: inbound stanzas are injected withInjectNode, outbound writes go to theShadowRelayinstead of a socket, and Signal material (DM decryption, prekeys, devices, LIDs, privacy tokens) is served by the relay so the shadow holds no private keys.Changes
shadow.go:NewShadowClient(deviceStore, relay, log),InjectNode, theShadowRelayinterface, and thesendNodeAndGetDatafail-closed path (relay orErrNotConnected, never a nil socket).client.go: restores thenodeHandlersdispatch table that upstream whatsmeow exposes and hypermeow had replaced with a closedswitch. The shadow dispatches injected nodes through it synchronously, and embedders that hookack/callhandlers via reflection (meowcaller does) keep working.handleNode/hasNodeHandlerread the table;NewClientfills it fromdefaultNodeHandlers.
