Self-chat mode (default) previously replied to ANY incoming DM with a
Python-side pairing-code message. Two compounding defaults:
1. allowlist.js::matchesAllowedUser returned true for an empty
allowlist — so WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS unset → everyone passes the JS
bridge gate → messages reach Python gateway → _is_user_authorized
returns False but _get_unauthorized_dm_behavior falls back to
'pair' → stranger gets a pairing code reply.
2. bridge.js had no mode check on !fromMe messages, so self-chat mode
(where the operator only wants to talk to themselves) forwarded
everything anyway.
Fix:
- allowlist.js: empty allowlist now returns false. Operators who want
an open bot must set WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=* explicitly (the
existing wildcard behaviour, consistent with SIGNAL_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS).
- bridge.js: self-chat mode hard-rejects all !fromMe messages at the
bridge, before they ever reach the Python gateway. Bot mode still
enforces the allowlist.
- Startup log message updated to reflect the new per-mode behaviour
(was '⚠️ No WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS set — all messages will be
processed', which was both inaccurate post-fix and a bad default
signal pre-fix).
- allowlist.test.mjs: new regression test pinning the empty-rejects
contract, + null/undefined defensive cases.
Behaviour delta for existing users:
- self-chat mode, no allowlist: strangers got pairing codes, now
silently dropped. Strictly better.
- bot mode, no allowlist: strangers got pairing codes via the
Python-side pairing flow, now silently dropped at the JS bridge.
Operators who genuinely want an open bot set
WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=*.
