Regression fix — user sees their own message twice
Reported with a screenshot: a user's own chat message renders as two identical bubbles (same timestamp). Regression from the cross-device-sync ship (#2700).
Root cause
The optimistic bubble's
id(createMessagemints its owncrypto.randomUUID()) and the A2A payload'smessageId(a separatecrypto.randomUUID()inuseChatSend) were independent values. The server'sUSER_MESSAGEbroadcast echoes the payload messageId, so on the origin deviceappendMessageDedupedById(which matches onid) never found a match → appended a second copy. The helper's unit tests passed only because they simulated the echo by reusing the optimistic id — the real send wiring didn't thread it.Fix
Thread one id:
useChatSendmintsmessageIdonce and passes it to bothcreateMessage(new optionalidparam) and the payload. The echo now dedups against the optimistic bubble on the origin device (single bubble); other devices receive + append it normally.Tests
createMessagehonors a supplied id (+ back-compat: generates one when omitted).USER_MESSAGEecho a no-op (the exact reported dup).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
APPROVED on head
247eb906ed.Reviewed the canvas chat dedup regression fix with the 5-axis lens. The change correctly threads a single client-generated message id through the optimistic bubble and the A2A payload, so the USER_MESSAGE echo uses the same id and appendMessageDedupedById collapses the sender's own echo instead of appending a duplicate. The createMessage optional-id path preserves existing callers by continuing to generate an id when omitted.
Security/robustness: no auth, persistence, or server-side behavior is widened; this is client-side id consistency only. Other-device broadcasts still append normally because they do not have the optimistic local copy. Tests cover supplied-id preservation, backwards-compatible generated ids, and the reported end-to-end echo no-op. Targeted E2E chat/canvas checks are green; Canvas unit CI was still pending at review time, so merge should wait for required CI to finish green.
