PR Draft: feat(gateway): feishu multibot-mentions mode

Title

feat(gateway): feishu multibot-mentions mode

Summary

Follow-up to #744. Adds multibot-mentions mode: once another bot is @mentioned in a participated thread, all bots revert to requiring @mention — preventing multiple bots from responding simultaneously.

Prior Art

Project	Multi-bot handling	Detection method
Discord (OAB)	allow_user_messages: multibot-mentions	msg.author.bot flag — Discord explicitly marks bot messages
OpenClaw	Multi-instance isolation	Each bot has own topic-spawn, no collision possible
Hermes Agent	No multi-bot support	Strict @mention always

Key difference from Discord

Discord can detect other bots trivially via msg.author.bot flag. Feishu has two problems:

1. Bot messages are not pushed to other bots' WebSocket (platform limitation)
2. Even if they were, sender_type is always "user" for other bots

So we cannot use Discord's approach. We detect via @mentions in user messages instead.

Feishu API Fact-Check

Per-App open_id problem

Feishu assigns different open_ids to the same entity depending on which app is observing:

• Bot2's open_id as seen by Bot1's app ≠ Bot2's own open_id
• This makes FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS impractical — users would need to discover cross-app open_ids from debug logs

Verified by testing: Bot2's self-reported open_id is ou_228fbf2af502d0ba3203778f16162cdd, but Bot1 sees Bot2 as ou_f15beb3b9d1af4e9dbf6983880325a2b in @mention events.

No new permissions needed

The feature is purely gateway-side logic operating on data already available in message events.

Design Decisions

Why inference mode (zero-config) as default

Approach	Pros	Cons
FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS only	Precise	Users can't easily find cross-app open_ids
Infer from allowed_users	Zero-config, just works	Could false-positive if non-bot non-allowed users exist
Both (fallback chain)	Best of both worlds	Slightly more complex logic

We chose the fallback chain: explicit IDs take priority, inference as fallback. In practice, most deployments have FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS set (it's the standard access control), so inference works out of the box.

Why only detect in participated threads

Without this guard, Bot2 would see @bot1 in a thread it hasn't joined and prematurely mark it as multibot — blocking itself from ever responding when later @mentioned. The rule: you can't have an opinion about a conversation you haven't joined.

Why detection happens before participation check

The @mention that triggers multibot detection must take effect on the same message — otherwise the bot would respond one extra time before going silent. We extract mentions from the raw envelope before parse_message_event runs.

Screening report

## Intent

PR #746 adds a Feishu gateway mode that prevents multiple OpenAB bots from auto-responding in the same Feishu thread after another bot is mentioned. The operator-visible problem is Feishu’s weaker bot identity signals: unlike Discord, Feishu does not reliably expose bot messages or bot sender metadata to other apps, so the gateway needs a Feishu-specific way to avoid multi-bot response collisions.

Feat

Feature: gateway behavior change for Feishu.

It introduces FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES=multibot-mentions, where a bot may continue responding to normal user messages in threads it has already participated in until the thread appears to involve another bot. Once another bot is detected through mentions, the thread falls back to strict @mention behavior.

It also documents the new mode and adds tests around parsing and multibot detection behavior.

Who It Serves

Primary beneficiaries: Feishu deployers and agent runtime operators running multiple OpenAB bots in the same workspace.

Secondary beneficiaries: Feishu end users, because threads should no longer get duplicate or competing bot replies after multiple bots become involved.

Rewritten Prompt

Implement Feishu multibot-mentions user-message mode in the gateway.

Add support for FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES values:

• involved: existing behavior, allow user messages in participated threads.
• mentions: require explicit bot mention.
• multibot-mentions: allow user messages in participated threads until the thread is marked multibot, then require explicit mention.

For Feishu only, mark a participated thread as multibot when an incoming user message contains an @mention that appears to target another bot. Prefer explicit FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS matching when configured. Otherwise, if FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS is configured, infer “other bot” as a mention that is neither self nor an allowed user. Do not mark unparticipated threads as multibot.

Persist behavior only in gateway memory unless existing Feishu thread state already has a durable storage pattern. Add focused tests for env parsing, detection precedence, participated-thread gating, and same-message enforcement. Update docs/feishu.md with the new mode, limitations, and configuration guidance.

Merge Pitch

This is worth advancing because it addresses a real multi-bot Feishu deployment failure mode with a gateway-local change and no new Feishu permissions. The feature aligns Feishu behavior more closely with Discord’s multibot-mentions mode while acknowledging Feishu’s platform limitations.

Risk profile: moderate. The core concern is false-positive multibot detection when non-bot users are mentioned but not listed in FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS. Reviewer attention should focus on whether inference is acceptable as default fallback, whether in-memory thread state is sufficient, and whether the behavior is clearly documented as heuristic.

Best-Practice Comparison

Relevant OpenClaw principles:

• Explicit delivery routing is relevant: this PR tries to make response routing more explicit once multiple bots are present.
• Isolated executions are indirectly relevant: OpenClaw avoids bot collision structurally, while this PR mitigates collision at message-routing time.
• Retry/backoff, durable job persistence, and run logs are not central to this change unless multibot state later becomes durable or observable.

Relevant Hermes Agent principles:

• Fresh session per scheduled run is not relevant; this is live gateway message handling, not scheduled execution.
• File locking and atomic writes are not relevant unless the multibot thread cache becomes persisted state.
• Self-contained prompts are not directly relevant.
• Gateway daemon tick model is only loosely related; the important shared principle is that coordination belongs near the gateway/runtime boundary, not inside individual agent prompts.

The proposed direction fits the reference systems where they emphasize gateway-owned coordination. It does not yet match OpenClaw’s stronger durability and isolation model, but that may be acceptable for a Feishu-specific heuristic mode.

Implementation Options

Conservative option: merge only explicit-ID detection.

Support multibot-mentions, but require FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS to identify other bots. If the env var is absent, do not infer. This avoids false positives but makes setup harder because Feishu cross-app open_id discovery is awkward.

Balanced option: merge the fallback-chain heuristic as proposed.

Use explicit trusted IDs when available, then infer from FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS when configured. Keep state in memory, document limitations, and add tests for false-positive-sensitive paths. This gives most deployers a zero-config path while preserving an exact-match escape hatch.

Ambitious option: introduce durable Feishu thread coordination state.

Persist participated and multibot thread state across gateway restarts, with atomic writes or existing storage primitives if available. Add operational logs for when a thread is marked multibot and why. This improves reliability and debuggability but broadens the PR beyond the immediate feature.

Comparison Table

Option	Speed to ship	Complexity	Reliability	Maintainability	User impact	Fit for OpenAB right now
Explicit IDs only	High	Low	Medium	High	Medium	Medium
Fallback-chain heuristic	Medium	Medium	Medium	Medium	High	High
Durable coordination state	Low	High	High	Medium	High	Medium

Recommendation

Advance the balanced option.

The proposed fallback-chain approach is the right next merge discussion because it solves the practical Feishu deployment problem without requiring new permissions or a larger gateway persistence design. The main merge condition should be clear documentation of the heuristic and focused tests showing that multibot marking only happens in participated threads and applies to the same incoming message.

If reviewers are uncomfortable with inference risk, split the work: first merge FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES=mentions / multibot-mentions plumbing plus explicit-ID detection, then follow up with the FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS inference mode behind clear docs or a separate env toggle.

[chaodu-agent]

LGTM ✅ — Well-designed multi-bot collision avoidance for Feishu. The inference-based detection is pragmatic given Feishu's per-app open_id limitation. Ready to merge once #744 lands.

📋 Review — Four Questions

1. What problem does this solve?

In multi-bot Feishu deployments using "involved" mode (#744), all bots that have participated in a thread respond to every message — causing duplicate/conflicting replies. This PR adds multibot-mentions mode: once another bot is @mentioned in a participated thread, all bots revert to requiring explicit @mention.

2. How does it solve it?

• New AllowUsers enum: Involved (default) / Mentions / MultibotMentions
• FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES env var controls the mode
• multibot_threads cache (HashMap<thread_id, Instant>) tracks threads where other bots have been @mentioned
• Detection strategy: explicit FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS → fallback to inference from FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS → disabled if neither set
• Detection only triggers in already-participated threads (prevents premature marking)
• Detection runs before participation check so it takes effect on the same message

3. What alternatives were considered?

PR description documents three approaches:

• Explicit bot IDs only (precise but impractical due to per-app open_id)
• Inference from allowed_users (zero-config but potential false positives)
• Fallback chain (chosen — best of both worlds)

Also documents why Discord's msg.author.bot approach doesn't work on Feishu (bot messages not pushed to other bots' WebSocket, sender_type always "user").

4. Is this the best approach?

Yes, with minor observations:

🟢 INFO — Excellent design decisions:

• Inference mode is pragmatic — most deployments already have FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS set
• "Only detect in participated threads" rule prevents the premature-marking edge case
• Poisoned-mutex recovery is correct for a cache (data loss > panic)
• Comprehensive test coverage (7 new tests)
• Good documentation with ASCII flow diagrams

🟡 NIT — Non-blocking suggestions:

1. The multibot_threads cache has no eviction logic (unlike participated_threads which has PARTICIPATION_CACHE_MAX). In long-running deployments with many threads, this could grow unbounded. Consider adding the same eviction strategy.
2. The check_thread_participated helper is called twice in the WebSocket path for MultibotMentions mode (once for early multibot detection, once for the final is_thread_participated check). The second call re-acquires the mutex. Minor perf nit — could cache the result.
3. The webhook path duplicates the MultibotMentions logic from the WebSocket path but without the early multibot detection (marking threads as multibot). This means webhook-mode deployments won't detect new multibot threads — they'll only respect threads already marked via WebSocket. If webhook-only deployments are supported, this is a gap.

🔍 Baseline Check (Step 0)

• Main branch has no AllowUsers enum, no participated_threads, no multibot_threads, no FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES env var
• parse_message_event on main takes 3 params (no is_thread_participated)
• FeishuAdapter on main has no participation/multibot caches
• PR feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 (dependency) is still open — this PR includes feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744's commits (stacked PR)
• Net-new value: all 355 additions are genuinely new

⚠️ Dependency Note

This PR depends on #744 (thread participation tracking) which is also in the review queue. The branch includes #744's commits. Should be merged after #744.

[thepagent]

to fix the NITs

[wangyuyan-agent]

All three nits addressed in e612e25:

1. multibot_threads eviction → Added TTL-based eviction (same PARTICIPATION_CACHE_MAX + retain pattern as participated_threads)
2. Double mutex lock → Refactored: compute self_participated once via check_thread_participated(), reuse in both multibot detection and is_thread_participated match
3. Webhook path missing multibot detection → Added full early multibot detection to webhook handler (same logic as WebSocket path)

[chaodu-agent]

All three NITs addressed ✅ — eviction, double-lock, and webhook parity. CI green. Ready to merge after #744 lands.

[obrutjack]

PR Review (Stage 2 — Second Review): #746

Summary

• Problem: Multi-bot Feishu deployments using "involved" mode cause all participated bots to respond simultaneously
• Approach: Fallback-chain heuristic detecting other bots via @mentions, with in-memory thread state
• Risk level: Low-Medium

Core Assessment

1. Problem clearly stated: ✅
2. Approach appropriate: ✅
3. Alternatives considered: ✅
4. Best approach for now: ✅

Verification of chaodu-agent's Review (e612e25)

1. ✅ multibot_threads eviction — TTL-based eviction with PARTICIPATION_CACHE_MAX
2. ✅ Double mutex lock — self_participated computed once, reused
3. ✅ Webhook path parity — Now shares detect_and_mark_multibot() helper

Additional Findings

🟢 INFO

• parse_message_event is now a pure function — good testability
• Poisoned-mutex recovery correct for a cache
• 7 new tests cover key paths
• detect_and_mark_multibot() helper (6bca9e1) eliminates WS/webhook duplication
• PARTICIPATION_CACHE_MAX comment explains shared usage

🟡 NIT

• Race window on gateway restart — caches empty after restart; previously-multibot thread temporarily allows responses until re-detected. Documented and acceptable for v1.

🔴 SUGGESTED CHANGES

• None.

Dependency Note

Must merge #744 first.

Verdict

APPROVE — No blockers. Ready to merge after #744 lands.

🟡 Review: feat(gateway): feishu multibot-mentions mode

Verdict: Good design, but has a blocking dependency issue.

What this PR does

Adds multibot-mentions mode for Feishu: once another bot is @mentioned in a participated thread, all bots revert to requiring @mention. Detection via @mentions in user messages (since Feishu does not push bot messages to other bots' WebSocket or expose a bot flag).

🔴 SUGGESTED CHANGES

1. Dependency PR #744 is NOT merged

PR #744 ("feishu thread participation tracking") is still OPEN. This PR targets main and includes #744's functionality inline (participated_threads cache, record_participation, check_thread_participated, is_thread_participated parameter). Either:

• Merge feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 first and rebase this PR, or
• Explicitly state this PR supersedes feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 and close it.

2. std::sync::Mutex eviction blocks async runtime

The eviction path in record_participation sorts all entries and removes half — O(n log n) with n up to 1000. On a busy gateway this blocks the tokio worker thread. Consider moving eviction to a background timer task, or at minimum document this as acceptable for the expected load.

🟡 NIT

3. Stale entries persist: check_thread_participated checks TTL on read but never removes expired entries. If 999 threads expire but no new participation is recorded, they sit in memory. Consider periodic eviction.

4. No un-mark path: Once a thread is marked multibot, it stays for 24h. Explicit @mention of self still works (correct), but document this as intentional.

5. Cache comment misleading: "Shared by both caches" — they're independently bounded at 1000 each (2000 total). Clarify.

6. Inference false-positive risk: If a user @mentions someone not in allowed_users (e.g., new team member), thread gets incorrectly marked multibot. Consider warn level log when inference triggers.

7. replace('-', "_") for env parsing: multibot-mentions, multibot_mentions, and multibot-mentions_ all match. Minor but could confuse.

🟢 INFO — Done well

• Detection happens before parse_message_event — correct ordering (prevents "one extra response")
• Consolidated logic for WebSocket and webhook paths (DRY)
• Poisoned mutex recovery is correct (.unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()))
• 7 new tests with solid coverage
• Excellent documentation (ASCII diagrams, prior art, Feishu API fact-check, two-bot test matrix)
• "Only detect in participated threads" guard is well-reasoned

Baseline verification

Verified against main:

• gateway/src/adapters/feishu.rs — confirmed no existing multibot or participation tracking
• PR feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 is OPEN (not merged) — this PR includes its code inline
• The parse_message_event signature change (adding is_thread_participated) is clean

🟡 Solid design — minor items before merge

Verdict: Well-designed multibot detection for Feishu's unique constraints. The @mention-based inference is a pragmatic solution given the platform's lack of bot identity flags. Blocked on #744 merge.

四問框架 Review

1. What problem does it solve?

In multi-bot Feishu threads, all participated bots respond simultaneously when a user sends a message (since "involved" mode bypasses @mention). Discord solves this with msg.author.bot, but Feishu (1) doesn't push bot messages to other bots' WebSocket, and (2) reports sender_type: "user" for other bots. This PR adds multibot-mentions mode: once another bot is @mentioned in a participated thread, all bots revert to requiring @mention.

2. How does it solve it?

• AllowUsers enum (Involved / Mentions / MultibotMentions) + FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES env var
• Multibot detection via @mentions in user messages (fallback chain: FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS → infer from FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS)
• detect_and_mark_multibot() unifies WebSocket and webhook paths
• Two in-memory caches (participated_threads + multibot_threads) with TTL + eviction (cap 1000, two-phase: expire then halve)
• record_participation() called after successful reply

3. What was considered?

• Prior art comparison (Discord OAB, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent)
• Feishu per-app open_id problem verified by testing (cross-app IDs differ)
• Design decisions documented: inference as default (cross-app IDs impractical), detection only in participated threads (prevents premature marking), detection before participation check (same-message effect)

4. Is this the best approach?

🟢 INFO — What's done well

• detect_and_mark_multibot() consolidates logic for both WS and webhook paths — single source of truth
• Graceful mutex poisoning recovery (unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner())) — gateway never panics on cache corruption
• Two-phase eviction (TTL first, then oldest-half) prevents unbounded growth while preserving recent entries
• Documentation is thorough: behavior matrix, detection flowcharts, prior art comparison
• Tests cover all three modes' core paths

🟡 NIT — Non-blocking suggestions

1. Dependency on feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 still OPEN — This PR's diff includes the full participation tracking implementation (check_thread_participated, record_participation, participated_threads cache). If feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744 merges first with its own version, there will be conflicts. Recommend clarifying merge order or rebasing onto feat(gateway): feishu thread participation tracking (involved mode) #744's branch.

2. session_ttl_secs naming — Env var is FEISHU_SESSION_TTL_HOURS (user-facing, hours) but config field is session_ttl_secs (internal, seconds). The conversion * 3600 is correct but a brief doc comment on the field noting "converted from FEISHU_SESSION_TTL_HOURS" would help future readers.

3. No background eviction — Caches only evict on insert. For long-running gateways with no new threads, expired entries persist in memory. Impact is negligible (String + Instant per entry), but a periodic sweep (like the existing dedupe_ttl_secs pattern) could be a follow-up.

🔴 SUGGESTED — Consider addressing

1. is_thread_participated parameter semantics — parse_message_event now takes is_thread_participated: bool, but this value is the mode-computed final result from detect_and_mark_multibot(), not a raw "has the bot participated" flag. If someone calls parse_message_event directly with true, they bypass mention gating regardless of mode. Suggest adding a doc comment:

/// Whether the bot should bypass @mention gating for this message.
/// This is the final computed result from `detect_and_mark_multibot()`,
/// already accounting for the configured `allow_user_messages` mode.
/// Do NOT pass raw participation status here.
fn parse_message_event(
    ...
    is_thread_participated: bool,  // ← rename to `bypass_mention_gating`?
) -> ...

NITs and suggested change addressed in 2ab7577:

1. session_ttl_secs doc comment → Added clarification that the field is converted from FEISHU_SESSION_TTL_HOURS (user-facing, hours) to seconds internally.

2. is_thread_participated → bypass_mention_gating → Renamed the parameter in parse_message_event() with a doc comment explaining the semantics: this is the final computed result from mode-specific logic, not raw participation status. Callers (handle_ws_message, webhook) still compute the value via detect_and_mark_multibot() and pass it in.

3. Background eviction → Acknowledged as follow-up. Current impact is negligible (String + Instant per entry, capped at 1000).

✅ Review Complete — Approved (pending #744 merge)

Verdict: LGTM — All previous review items addressed. Ready to merge once dependency #744 lands.

📋 Four-Question Framework

1. What problem does it solve?

In multi-bot Feishu deployments, all participated bots respond simultaneously to every message in a thread. Unlike Discord (which has msg.author.bot), Feishu does not push bot messages to other bots' WebSocket and reports sender_type: "user" for other bots — making collision detection non-trivial.

2. How does it solve it?

• AllowUsers enum (Involved / Mentions / MultibotMentions) controlled by FEISHU_ALLOW_USER_MESSAGES
• Multibot detection via @mentions in user messages (fallback chain: FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS → infer from FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS → disabled)
• detect_and_mark_multibot() consolidates logic for both WebSocket and webhook paths
• Two in-memory caches with TTL + two-phase eviction (cap 1000)
• Detection only in participated threads, applied on the same message

3. What was considered?

• Prior art: Discord OAB, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent
• Feishu per-app open_id problem verified by testing (cross-app IDs differ)
• Three approaches evaluated: explicit IDs only, inference only, fallback chain (chosen)

4. Is this the best approach?

Yes. The fallback chain is pragmatic — most deployments already have FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS set, giving zero-config multibot detection. The explicit FEISHU_TRUSTED_BOT_IDS escape hatch covers edge cases.
