Defer server AB props notification acknowledgements until the client's bounded sync task completes. Duplicate in-flight notifications coalesce; failures, cancellation and saturation leave notifications available for server redelivery. Unrelated notifications retain their existing acknowledgement path.

This branch also reconciles the five already-consumed shadow-client commits from Polymorfa's existing 90f9e4e pin into main, preserving those runtime features before Polymorfa moves to the reviewed main revision.

Validation: full Go test suite passed locally, plus Polymorfa runner/VoIP checks against this exact source. New tests cover completion, failure, cancellation, duplicates and saturation.

API/SDK/CLI: internal hook only; no public contract changes in this library. Docs: source comments and coordinated backend plan. Feature releases: no deployment or publication. Admin: existing follow/off controls remain in the backend.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for headless clients that send and receive messages through a relay, including direct-message encryption and decryption, device lookups, and prekey retrieval.
    • Server property updates can now run asynchronously, with notifications acknowledged after successful synchronization.
  • Behavior Changes
    • Shadow clients cannot connect directly or send group messages.
    • When a shadow client cannot decrypt a group message, it reports the message as unavailable and continues processing subsequent messages.

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)
(cherry picked from commit 6126b83)
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.

(cherry picked from commit 194b6e8)
…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.

(cherry picked from commit d94919d)
…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).

(cherry picked from commit 49a8071)

Walkthrough

The PR adds headless shadow clients that process injected nodes and route selected operations through a relay. It also adds deferred acknowledgement for eligible server ABProps notifications and guards against unsupported shadow-client group operations.

Changes

Shadow Client

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shadow client setup and node injection
shadow.go, client.go, shadow_test.go
Adds the ShadowRelay contract, shadow-client construction checks, stanza-handler map dispatch, and synchronous injected-node processing. Tests cover construction, connection rejection, and injected-node dispatch.
Relay-backed operations
client.go, message.go, prekeys.go, send.go, user.go, shadow.go, shadow_test.go
Routes outbound nodes, direct-message encryption and decryption, prekey retrieval, user lookups, and LID and privacy-token fallbacks through the relay.
Unsupported group sender-key operations
message.go, send.go, sendfb.go
Rejects shadow-client group sends and decryption. When group decryption is unsupported, the client acknowledges the message and emits an unavailable undecryptable event.

Deferred Server ABProps

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deferred sync and acknowledgement
client.go, notification.go, notification_abprops_test.go
Adds a synchronization callback and pending-task tracking. Eligible notifications defer acknowledgement until sync succeeds; tests cover duplicate, absent, failed, cancelled, and ineligible cases.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05c0c

Sharing a device store can unexpectedly route lookups through the shadow relay, and stalled AB-props syncs can prevent later notifications from being synchronized. Address both before merging.

- Around line 609-612: In deferServerABProps, give each ServerABPropsSync task a
bounded child context instead of passing through a context that may have no
deadline. Use the timeout already appropriate for the server AB-props operation,
and pass the child context to ServerABPropsSync so the pending task can
eventually finish.

Review comments at @shadow.go:
- Around line 142-143: Update the NewShadowClient documentation to state that it
takes ownership of the supplied *store.Device and callers must not share that
device with another client or another NewShadowClient call. Leave the device
mutation and store initialization unchanged.
