What

Discord gets Telegram's relay commands: /mode, /status, /mute, /unmute, /tldr, /summary and /help (D249, after #3456 inbound and #3465 outbound).

How

• Transport: the existing signed interactions endpoint, POST /api/discord/interactions. It verifies Ed25519 first and answers PING. The new bridge commands are routed ahead of the legacy branch.

• The shared core stays generic. chatRelayCore gains three pieces:

  • parseRelayCommand;
  • /mute units (30m, 2h);
  • an authority option on applyRelayCommand. When the caller may not change settings, writes are refused and reads still answer.

  Telegram parses its commands through it, and its tests are unedited. Discord-specific logic lives in discordRelayCommandService.ts.

• Authority. Only the row's creator can change the mode or mute: the interaction's user id must equal the proven config.discordUserId. /status, /help and /tldr are open to anyone.

• Channel binding. A command acts only in the exact guild and channel its row is bound to.

• Content. /tldr posts the pod's latest summary, escaped, with @everyone defused, capped at 2000 characters, with allowed_mentions: { parse: [] }. /summary defers, then edits the original reply, as on Telegram. Settings replies, /status and /help are ephemeral.

• Registration. One command list, config/discordApplicationCommands.json, feeds both the handler and the boot-time bulk PUT. The list also keeps the legacy commands.

Behaviour change on Telegram: /mute 2h now means 120 minutes. It used to mean 2.

Tests

• Red: 25 of the 34 new tests failed on main.
• Green: 35/35 new, 149/149 Telegram/Slack/core with no Telegram test edited, and 218/218 Discord route and service tests. tsc is clean.
• Reverse checks:
  • removing the creator check fails 3 tests;
  • removing the channel binding from the query fails 2 tests.

Ops

• Interactions endpoint: the application's Interactions Endpoint URL must point at /api/discord/interactions on the API host. Someone with portal access should confirm it.
• Install link: it has asked for applications.commands since April, so only guilds that added the bot before then need to add it again.
• Global commands: these can take up to an hour to show after the next deploy.

Known gaps, not changed here

• The legacy /discord-enable and /discord-disable have no authority check.
• The per-guild register route can duplicate the legacy commands.

Both are filed as follow-ups.

Walkthrough

The PR adds Discord relay slash-command definitions, registration, interaction dispatch, and handlers for settings, status, summaries, and help. It centralizes relay-command parsing and authority checks for Discord and Telegram, adds mute-duration parsing, and includes tests and setup documentation.

Changes: Discord Relay Commands

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared relay command semantics backend/services/chatRelay/chatRelayCore.ts, backend/routes/webhooks/telegram.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/services/chatRelayCore.commands.test.js	The shared core parses supported commands, normalizes command names and /mode arguments, handles mute durations, and can refuse settings updates based on authority. Telegram now uses the shared parser.
Command definitions and interaction dispatch backend/config/discordApplicationCommands.json, backend/scripts/deploy-discord-commands.js, backend/routes/discord.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/scripts/deployDiscordCommands.test.js, backend/__tests__/unit/routes/discord.relayCommands.test.js, docs/discord/REGISTER_DISCORD_COMMANDS.md, .gitleaks.toml	The command configuration supplies the commands used for global deployment and health checks. The Discord route dispatches recognized commands. Tests cover deployment, invalid signatures, and PING handling. The documentation describes registration and interaction handling.
Discord relay command handling backend/services/discordRelayCommandService.ts, backend/services/discordBridgeService.ts, backend/services/discordCommandService.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/routes/discord.relayCommands.test.js, docs/discord/REGISTER_DISCORD_COMMANDS.md	The service handles bound-channel settings, status, summary, and help commands. Settings updates require the caller’s Discord ID to match the integration’s recorded Discord user ID. Summary output is bounded and suppresses mentions. Tests cover command responses and updates; the documentation describes authority and channel binding.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the Discord relay commands (/mode, /status, /mute, /unmute, /tldr, /summary, /help) and the shared relay core, which matches the main change in the changeset: new Discord command handling in discordRelayCommandService, routing in discord.ts, and parser/authority changes in chatRelayCore.ts. It is specific and descriptive. It is long (100 characters), but it still describes the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the Discord relay-command scope (/mode, /status, /mute, /unmute, /tldr, /summary, /help), the signed interactions endpoint, the shared chatRelayCore changes, creator-only authority for settings, channel binding, content handling, command registration, the Telegram /mute behavior change, test results, and operational follow-ups. It is closely related to the changeset.

HEAD: 1a94f26 — GATE: PASS

PASS. One review, by Opus. Each test file was run on its own: the three new files, plus Telegram, the core and the existing Discord suites, all green.

• Signature first: Ed25519 over the raw body is checked before JSON.parse and before any new routing.
• Authority: writes need the caller's signed user id to equal the row's discordUserId. A row with no discordUserId admits nobody. mayChangeSettings: false refuses any result that carries an update, including writes added later.
• Binding: commands only touch rows that are active, of type discord, and match the exact guild and channel. There is no guild-wide fallback, and a DM finds no rows. /tldr reads only that row's own pod, under F143.
• Content: every reply is fitted to 2000 characters, sent with allowed_mentions empty, and ephemeral by default. Only a successful /tldr is public, and it is escaped with mass mentions defused.
• Telegram: the only change is mute units: 2h now means 120 minutes. A bare number still means minutes, and the fallbacks and the 24-hour cap are unchanged.
• Registration: a static set of 12 commands goes out as an idempotent bulk PUT, and only when all three env vars are set.
• Deferred /summary: it edits the original reply through the application webhook, and the interaction token is never logged.

Low findings, filed under F161, none blocking:

• /summary and /tldr don't require status connected.
• /summary has no per-user limit. This was already true before this PR.
• The boot PUT has no timeout and always reports success. This was also already true.
• Nits: Telegram's help text doesn't mention units; a rejected unit falls through to a bare number; there's no contexts: [0].

GATE: PASS

Use the linear-time duration pattern.

A Discord duration option can contain up to 6,000 characters. The adjacent \s* quantifiers can backtrack quadratically on an input such as "0" followed by thousands of tabs and "x". This can add tens of milliseconds of CPU work to one command. The same payload is not reachable through Telegram because its parser passes only the first whitespace-delimited argument.

The proposed pattern preserves the accepted duration forms. Trimming handles leading and trailing whitespace, and the grouped whitespace still allows a space between the number and its unit.

Proposed fix

-const MUTE_DURATION = /^\s*(\d+)\s*(m|min|mins|minutes?|h|hr|hrs|hours?)?\s*$/i;
+const MUTE_DURATION = /^(\d+)(?:\s*(m|min|mins|minutes?|h|hr|hrs|hours?))?$/i;

Require explicit settings authority in applyRelayCommand.

The Telegram group-member settings-write risk predates this PR. Do not attribute that existing behavior to the parser change. The new authority contract still fails open: an omitted authority permits a settings update, and both Telegram and Slack omit it.

Make the authority explicit. Place it before the defaulted now parameter. Pass false for shared Telegram and Slack surfaces. Reorder Discord’s existing authority argument.

-  mayChangeSettings?: boolean;

/status reports an unconnected channel while the connector is paused.

findBoundRows excludes rows with config.adminPause. When no row remains, handleDiscordRelayCommand returns the "isn't connected to a Commonly pod" prompt for every command except /help, including /status. In a channel whose connector an administrator has paused, the channel is still bound. Only relay is stopped. The status reply should describe the paused state, not state that the channel is unconnected.

Keep paused rows out of settings writes. The status path can read paused rows without changing that guard.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Encode the interpolated URL path segments.

applicationId and interaction.token go into the webhook URL unencoded. The interaction body is Ed25519-signed, and the host is fixed to discord.com. Exploitation therefore needs Discord-signed data, so the risk is low. CodeQL still reports this request as server-side request forgery because the path depends on request data. A path-segment value containing / or .. would also change the target path.

Encode both segments. The URL stays identical for real ids and tokens, so the existing test expectation holds.

Proposed fix

-    `https://discord.com/api/v10/webhooks/${applicationId}/${interaction.token}/messages/@original`,
+    `https://discord.com/api/v10/webhooks/${encodeURIComponent(String(applicationId))}/${encodeURIComponent(interaction.token)}/messages/@original`,

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

/mute 2 hours and /mute 2 h in Telegram still mute for 2 minutes.

Line 527 passes only args[0] to the parser. muteMinutesOf accepts spaced forms such as 30 min, 1 hour and 2 h, and its tests cover them. Telegram never delivers those forms. /mute 2 hours reaches the core as "2", which is 2 minutes. This is the same wrong result that this PR fixes for /mute 2h, but for spaced input.

Pass the full argument text for /mute. Keep args[0] for /mode.

Add a test for the config.adminPause exclusion in findBoundRows.

The fixture applies the query, but the suite only creates unpaused rows. If the 'config.adminPause': { $exists: false } clause is removed, the existing /mode, /mute, and /tldr tests can still pass. Add a paused-row case that asserts settings do not update the row and /tldr does not post its summary.

@coderabbitai, on your review at a261923:

• Outside-diff Minor (telegram.ts:527): confirmed. Telegram passes only args[0], so /mute 2 hours still means 2 minutes. That's the same as before this PR, so it isn't a regression. The fix is follow-up F161: pass the whole argument text for /mute, plus a Telegram route test expecting 120 minutes.
• Nitpick, adminPause test: valid. It's also on F161: a paused-row case where settings don't update and /tldr doesn't post.

@lilyshen0722 Thanks for clarifying.

• Telegram /mute: The route confirms that parseTelegramRelayCommand receives only args[0]. Based on your baseline confirmation, this is an existing limitation, not a regression in this PR. F161 covers passing the full /mute argument text and testing that /mute 2 hours produces 120 minutes.
• adminPause coverage: The test gap remains valid. F161 covers verifying that a paused row receives no settings updates and that /tldr posts nothing.

Both items remain deferred, not fixed in this PR.
