Implements the two highest-impact gaps from the client UX spec.
Optimistic send:
- messages.store gains addOptimisticMessage / markSendFailed /
removeOptimistic, and confirmSend now stamps the real id + "sent" on
the ack. addMessage reconciles the broadcast by real id (idempotent,
replay-safe) with a defensive author match, so an echo never
duplicates. Message gains status/correlationId/errorCode.
- ChannelController.performSend renders a pending row immediately and
supports retry / delete-draft (retry preserves attachments).
- MessageList renders pending (dimmed) and failed (reason + Retry /
Delete) rows; the hover action bar is limited to confirmed rows.
- Failures are precise: the server echoes the request id on error
replies (buildErrorMsgWithID), so the dispatcher maps SLOW_MODE /
FORBIDDEN / RATE_LIMITED / BAD_REQUEST to the exact row instead of
dropping the code. An offline send is shown failed, not silently lost.
Composer permission + connection gating:
- The server computes an authoritative per-channel can_send in the ready
payload (channelCanSend mirrors MessageService.checkSendPermission:
READ|SEND, MANAGE_MESSAGES for announcement, admin bypass, channel
overrides). channels.store carries it as Channel.canSend.
- MessageInput gains a disabled-with-reason mode; ChannelController
derives the reason from can_send + channel type + connection status and
disables the composer reactively (announcement read-only, no-permission,
reconnecting) rather than accepting a click and failing. Older servers
that omit can_send default permissive.
Docs: the corresponding "Current gap" callouts in docs/architecture/ux
are updated to reflect the implementation.
Verified: full server suite + client tsc + 3204 unit tests + lint + gofmt.
