Arrow up in the composer only brought back plain messages from the chat log, never commands like /join or /whois. It also replayed whatever the log attributed to your nick, so text from another session or a spoofed line could come back and be sent again as yours.

Recall now uses what you typed and sent in this session: one list per channel or PM, newest first, capped at 100 lines, in memory only. Lines that can carry a password (/oper, /pass, /ns identify, /msg NickServ ..., /quote) are not kept.

Switching channels now also resets the recall position.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Message history is kept separately for each chat or private conversation, with up to 100 recent entries per conversation.
    • Navigate through previously sent messages and bot commands; recalled commands reopen with their saved values.
    • Moving past the newest history entry clears the composer.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Blank input, consecutive duplicates, and password-like or secret-command entries are excluded from history.
  • Behavior Changes
    • Typing resets history navigation. Draft text is no longer saved and restored when navigating history.

- Line 188: Update sendRaw to return whether the socket was open and the command

returning true. This lets useCommandInvocation avoid recording commands dropped
because the socket is closed.

Walkthrough

Chat input history now stores eligible sent input by buffer instead of deriving history from chat messages. ChatArea records text and completed bot-command runs, and supports recalling either form. Command invocation can restore saved argument values.

Changes: Chat input history and command recall

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store and navigate sent input
src/hooks/useMessageHistory.ts, tests/hooks/useMessageHistory.test.ts
The hook stores eligible input by buffer, skips consecutive duplicates, and retains up to 100 entries per buffer. Tests cover filtering and navigation.
Restore bot-command invocations
src/hooks/useCommandInvocation.ts, src/hooks/useMessageSending.ts, tests/hooks/useCommandInvocation.test.ts
Command invocations accept initial values and call a callback after a successful send. The send function returns whether it sent the command. Tests cover callback behavior and restoring saved values.
Record and recall input in ChatArea
src/components/layout/ChatArea.tsx
ChatArea records text and command runs by channel key. History navigation restores text or restarts the saved command with its values.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a4c66

Command recall is usable, but some sensitive service commands can still reappear, and history can include dropped or stale bot commands. These bounded gaps warrant owner awareness and follow-up.

9-10: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add a test that changes bufferKey on a mounted hook.

Every walk call mounts a new hook, and no test rerenders with a different bufferKey. Removing the reset effect in src/hooks/useMessageHistory.ts would leave the suite passing. The first Up in the new buffer would then return an older entry from that buffer. The PR states that switching channels resets the recall position, so this path is part of the intended behavior.

The proposed test records two entries in each of two buffers, moves the index to the second entry in the first buffer, rerenders with the second buffer, and expects the newest entry of that buffer. With the reset, the index returns to -1 and Up returns b-new. Without it, the index stays at 1 and Up returns b-old. The test passes on the current code and fails if the reset is removed.

🧪 Suggested test
   it("recalls input sent after the last render", () => {
     const { result } = renderHook(() => useMessageHistory("s-#late"));
     recordSentInput("s-#late", "/whois someone");
     let recalled: SentInput | null = null;
     act(() => {
       recalled = result.current.navigateUp();
     });
     expect(recalled).toBe("/whois someone");
   });

Follow-up Comments

Minor follow-up Propagate the sendBotCommand result from tryDispatchBotCommand.

157-157: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Propagate the sendBotCommand result from tryDispatchBotCommand.

tryDispatchBotCommand discards the boolean from sendBotCommand and always returns true. A channel-only command matched in a private message is not sent, yet the slash caller skips its raw-command fallback and shows no error. This drop also exists at the merge base. Return the sendBotCommand result, or report an error when it is false.

1666-1666: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Check bot availability before dispatching a recalled command.

Recalled bot runs dispatch the saved botNick and command without a current check. The typed path checks that the bot is in the channel and still lists the command. The recall path skips that check, so a stale command can be sent and recorded as sent.

Suggested direction

Apply the typed path's live bot and command check in begin when isRecalled is true, or in run before sendBotCommand. Confirm the exact condition against the matches logic in useMessageSending.ts before applying it.
