Multi-agent / module-state correctness
- Hoist WhatsApp outbound init lock to module scope so header + contact-panel
buttons share one guard; add an active-session guard so a second click
returns { status: 'locked' } instead of cleanup()-ing the live call.
- isLocalWhatsappCall() filter on voice_call.outbound_connected and
voice_call.ended cable handlers — account-wide broadcasts no longer
feed foreign SDP into this tab's PeerConnection or stop its recorder.
- Permission-flow path (200 with no call id) now releases the
prepareOutboundOffer() mic + RTCPeerConnection instead of leaving the
mic indicator stuck on.
- Drop the intentionallyClosing guard around sendWhatsappTerminateBeacon
so a hangup-then-close race still terminates Meta's side (beacon
endpoint is idempotent).
- Distinguish locked init from permission_requested in callers to avoid
a false "call initiated" alert.
Provider routing
- joinCall outbound short-circuit now scoped to WhatsApp-like calls so
FloatingCallWidget's auto-join for outbound Twilio still works.
- isWhatsappLikeCall(callId-keyed) so calls seeded by message.updated /
refresh path (which lack provider metadata) route to the WhatsApp flow.
- syncConversationCallVisibility per-call filter via shouldShowCall, so
outbound calls aren't ripped from under the caller on assignee change.
- removeCallsForConversation tears down each active call via
teardownByProvider — WhatsApp gets cleanupWhatsappSession (closes pc,
stops recorder/mic) instead of a Twilio-only endClientCall.
- await reject before dismissing in rejectIncomingCall so a failing reject
keeps the call surfaced for retry.
Per-bubble overhead
- Split useCallSession into the root-mount hook + a lightweight
useCallActions for components like VoiceCall.vue that just need state +
actions without registering global window/Twilio listeners. Globals
attach once via a refcount, dismissed-call sids live at module scope so
the seed watcher can't re-add a locally dismissed ringing call.
Lookup correctness
- /contacts/:id/conversations accepts an optional inbox_id filter; the
WhatsApp call button passes inboxId so a contact's older WhatsApp
thread doesn't fall outside the BE's 20-row cap.
Twilio lifecycle / security
- Defer accepted_by_agent claim to the participant-join webhook so a
failed agent device init doesn't leave the call ringing-but-claimed
with no recovery path. mark_agent_joined still raises 409 if another
agent has already claimed.
- Verify X-Twilio-Signature on recording_status — the controller fetches
the recording with channel auth credentials, so an unsigned POST
could coerce credential-bearing requests to an attacker-controlled host.
Legacy data
- Migration to delete orphaned inboxes whose channel_type still says
'Channel::Voice' after the model was removed. The polymorphic
belongs_to :channel lookup on those rows otherwise crashes the inbox
serializer with `uninitialized constant Channel::Voice`.
