Reduces database pressure from filtered unread-count cache rebuilds
during high-traffic account rollouts by serving stale snapshots longer
and limiting inline saved-filter rebuild fanout.
## Closes
None
## What changed
- Increase filtered unread-count refresh throttling from 30 seconds to 5
minutes.
- Increase the stale snapshot window from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Reduce inline saved-filter count rebuilds per request from 10 to 3.
- Update unread-count specs to assert refresh and stale behavior through
the shared constants.
## How to test
- Enable `conversation_unread_counts` and `unread_count_for_filters` for
an account with conversation custom filters.
- Open the dashboard and verify unread-count badges still return values.
- Mutate conversations and verify stale filtered counts are served while
rebuilds are throttled, instead of repeatedly rebuilding every 30
seconds.
## Description
Adds the account-level `unread_count_for_filters` feature flag as the
dark-launch gate for filtered sidebar unread counts. This reuses the
deprecated `quoted_email_reply` flag slot, resets the reused bit for
existing accounts, and removes stale defaults so new accounts do not
reference the old flag.
This also adds the feature where we are now calculating the unread counts for built in filters like mentions, participating and unattended along with unread count for saved filters/folders.

## Description
Reverts [#14726](https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/14726)
(\"feat: Add sidebar unread counts for filters (CW-7262)\"), which
shipped in 4.15.0.
After 4.15.0 rolled out to prod the unread-counts-for-filters code path
caused a cascading incident:
- `Counter#ensure_filters_cache!` fires on every `/unread_counts/index`
and `update_last_seen` request.
- On cache miss it calls `Builder#build_filters_for!`, which:
- invokes `store.clear_user_filters!` -> `delete_matching` -> a Redis
`SCAN_each` over a per-user pattern keyspace, and
- runs 4 fresh SQL passes per user (mentions, participating, unattended,
and per-folder `Conversations::FilterService` queries).
- Threads blocked in the SCAN held their DB connections, the connection
pool exhausted, Sidekiq jobs were discarded with
`ActiveJob::DeserializationError: could not obtain a connection from the
pool`, and the enqueued queue blew past 200K.

## Description
Extends the conversation unread-count system so the left sidebar can
show unread badges for Mentions, Participating, Unattended, and saved
conversation folders. Folder badges reuse the existing `custom_filters`
conversation filter semantics, store user-scoped Redis sets lazily, and
skip unsupported folder filters so invalid saved folders continue to
render without a badge. The Unattended badge counts all visible unread
open conversations that match the existing unattended conversation
scope.
Closes
-
[CW-7262](https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7262/unread-counts-for-filters-folders)
## What changed
- Added user-scoped unread-count Redis keys and cache builders for
mentions, participating conversations, unattended conversations, and
saved folder filters.
- Reused `Conversations::FilterService` through a relation-returning
path so folder counts match the folder conversation list behavior.
- Invalidated user filter caches from mention, participant,
custom-filter, and relevant conversation update events.
- Extended the unread-count endpoint payload and sidebar Vuex/sidebar
rendering for the new badge counts, including the Unattended sidebar
item.
- Added Ruby, Enterprise, request, listener, and frontend store coverage
for the new unread-count dimensions.
## Type of change
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Created local validation folders for `john@acme.inc` and confirmed the
unread-count payload includes open, resolved, and high-priority folder
badges while excluding the invalid unsupported folder.
- Added coverage for the Unattended badge rule: all visible unread open
conversations matching `Conversation.unattended`.
- Ran focused unread-count Ruby specs, including service, listener,
request, and Enterprise counter coverage.
- Ran frontend unread-count store specs.
- Ran RuboCop on the touched Ruby files.
- Ran ESLint through the project script; it completed with warnings in
existing unrelated files and no errors.

## Description
Prevent deleted email conversations from being synced into Chatwoot
again while they are still within the IMAP sync window.
When an admin explicitly deletes an email conversation, the incoming
email message IDs are stored temporarily in Redis. IMAP sync checks
these recently deleted message IDs in addition to existing message
records. Each Redis key expires automatically after two days.
This applies only to explicit conversation deletion. Individual message
deletion, inbox deletion, and account deletion keep their existing
behavior.

## Description
Adds the unread count for All Conversations to the left sidebar. The
unread counts API now returns an `all_count` aggregate based on the same
permission-scoped inbox counts already used for sidebar badges, and the
sidebar renders that backend-provided value on the All Conversations
item.

This reverts #14610 so conversation unread counts are again controlled
by the `conversation_unread_counts` feature flag across the API,
ActionCable broadcasts, notifier/listener paths, and dashboard sidebar
fetching.
## Closes
- None
## What changed
- Restores feature-flag checks for conversation unread count reads and
broadcasts.
- Restores the dashboard feature flag constant and sidebar/store
behavior for disabled unread counts.
- Restores the specs that cover disabled-feature behavior.
## How to test
- In an account with `conversation_unread_counts` enabled, verify
sidebar unread counts are fetched and updated in real time.
- Disable `conversation_unread_counts` for the account and verify unread
count requests/broadcasts are skipped.
## Description
Make conversation unread counts always available at runtime by removing
account feature checks from the API endpoint, unread-count listener,
notifier, and ActionCable broadcast path.
Update the dashboard to fetch sidebar unread counts for the active
account without checking FEATURE_FLAGS.CONVERSATION_UNREAD_COUNTS, and
remove the now-unused store clear action that only supported the
disabled state.
Keep the feature entry in config/features.yml to preserve flag bit
order, but mark it enabled and deprecated so fresh installs default to
the always-on behavior while feature-management UI hides it.
Leave existing installation default rows untouched; no migration is
included, so upgraded installs may still store the old flag value but
runtime behavior no longer depends on it.
Update specs around the new always-on contract and remove obsolete
disabled-feature assertions.

Agent bot conversations now feel more natural because AgentBot tokens
can toggle typing status, so end users see a live typing indicator in
the widget while the bot is preparing a reply. This keeps the
interaction responsive and human-like without weakening token
authorization boundaries.
## Closes
- https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/8928
- https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-5205
## How to test
1. Open the widget and start a conversation as a customer.
2. Connect an AgentBot to the same inbox.
3. Trigger `toggle_typing_status` with the AgentBot token
(`typing_status: on`).
4. Confirm the customer sees the typing indicator in the widget.
5. Trigger `toggle_typing_status` with `typing_status: off` and confirm
the indicator disappears.
## What changed
- Added `toggle_typing_status` to bot-accessible conversation endpoints.
- Restricted bot-accessible endpoint usage to `AgentBot` token owners
only (non-user tokens like `PlatformApp` remain unauthorized).
- Updated typing status flow to preserve AgentBot identity in
dispatch/broadcast paths.
- Added request coverage for AgentBot success and PlatformApp
unauthorized behavior.
- Added Swagger documentation for `POST
/api/v1/accounts/{account_id}/conversations/{conversation_id}/toggle_typing_status`
and regenerated swagger artifacts.
### What
Forces `account_id` to be applied consistently in queries and message creation paths.
### Why
Some queries were missing `account_id`, leading to cross-account scans and slow performance in large datasets.
### Changes
* Added `account_id` to the relevant query columns.
* Ensured messages are always created within the correct account scope.
* Updated `created_at` handling where required for consistency.
### Impact
* Prevents cross-account queries.
* Improves query performance.
* Reduces risk of incorrect data access across accounts.
### Notes
No functional behavior change for end users. This is a performance and safety fix.
fixes: #11834
This pull request introduces TikTok channel integration, enabling users
to connect and manage TikTok business accounts similarly to other
supported social channels. The changes span backend API endpoints,
authentication helpers, webhook handling, configuration, and frontend
components to support TikTok as a first-class channel.
**Key Notes**
* This integration is only compatible with TikTok Business Accounts
* Special permissions are required to access the TikTok [Business
Messaging
API](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832183871604753).
* The Business Messaging API is region-restricted and is currently
unavailable to users in the EU.
* Only TEXT, IMAGE, and POST_SHARE messages are currently supported due
to limitations in the TikTok Business Messaging API
* A message will be successfully sent only if it contains text alone or
one image attachment. Messages with multiple attachments or those
combining text and attachments will fail and receive a descriptive error
status.
* Messages sent directly from the TikTok App will be synced into the
system
* Initiating a new conversation from the system is not permitted due to
limitations from the TikTok Business Messaging API.
**Backend: TikTok Channel Integration**
* Added `Api::V1::Accounts::Tiktok::AuthorizationsController` to handle
TikTok OAuth authorization initiation, returning the TikTok
authorization URL.
* Implemented `Tiktok::CallbacksController` to handle TikTok OAuth
callback, process authorization results, create or update channel/inbox,
and handle errors or denied scopes.
* Added `Webhooks::TiktokController` to receive and verify TikTok
webhook events, including signature verification and event dispatching.
* Created `Tiktok::IntegrationHelper` module for JWT-based token
generation and verification for secure TikTok OAuth state management.
**Configuration and Feature Flags**
* Added TikTok app credentials (`TIKTOK_APP_ID`, `TIKTOK_APP_SECRET`) to
allowed configs and app config, and registered TikTok as a feature in
the super admin features YAML.

# TikTok App Setup & Configuration
1. Grant access to the Business Messaging API
([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832184145137922))
2. Set the app authorization redirect URL to
`https://FRONTEND_URL/tiktok/callback`
3. Update the installation config with TikTok App ID and Secret
4. Create a Business Messaging Webhook configuration and set the
callback url to `https://FRONTEND_URL/webhooks/tiktok`
([Documentation](https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs?id=1832190670631937))
. You can do this by calling
`Tiktok::AuthClient.update_webhook_callback` from rails console once you
finish Tiktok channel configuration in super admin ( will be automated
in future )
5. Enable TikTok channel feature in an account

Earlier, we were manually checking if a user was an agent and filtering
their conversations based on inboxes. This logic should have been part
of the conversation permissions service.
This PR moves the check to the right place and updates the logic
accordingly.
Other updates:
- Add support for search_conversations service for copilot.
- Use PermissionFilterService in contacts/conversations, conversations,
copilot search_conversations.

1. Add permission filter service to separate permission filtering logic
from conversation queries
2. Implement hierarchical permissions with cleaner logic:
- conversation_manage gives access to all conversations
- conversation_unassigned_manage gives access to unassigned and user's
conversations
- conversation_participating_manage gives access only to user's
conversations
