Why the change

Once the owner has chatted with a Bot in a Feishu/Lark DM, every proactive DM from that Bot fails with send-permission-denied.

Closes #3842

Root cause (reproduced in a unit test). An owner DM to a Bot with newConversations: auto creates an implicit DM grant. The snapshot listed that grant with canPost: true, so bridge_targets offered it. But implicit grants post through postConversation. On Feishu, that is the checked Group API: it checks chatModeration, which never passes for a p2p chat, so the send is always refused with send-permission-denied. The binding_id + DM conversation_id path failed the same way, because it only matches Group targets and reachable Groups.

The difference between Bots in the issue fits this cause: a Bot the owner has already DMed has the implicit grant, and a fresh Bot does not. That fit is inferred from the code. I have not checked the reporter's database.

Special things to note

• Needs fix(feishu): checked receipt for a saved private-chat target dsh-im#36. The saved DM target posts with receipt: true, and the current dsh-im host only gives receipts for Feishu groups. Until that ships, this PR changes the failure from send-permission-denied to an honest capability-unavailable. After it ships, the DM is delivered with a checked receipt.
• Merge risk: low. Only implicit DM grants change. Implicit Group grants and explicit grants behave as before. Weixin implicit grants have no postConversation and were already not postable.
• The secondary report (a failed send recorded as provider-accepted) is not addressed here. I found no path for it in this flow and it needs its own repro.
• Verification:
  • New packages/core/test/messaging-feishu-dm-post.test.ts failed 4 of 5 on main, including state: failed, reason: send-permission-denied for the implicit DM grant. All 5 pass with the fix.
  • vitest run packages/core/test/messaging-* cli-messaging: 41 files, 445 tests pass. dsh-bot-agent-adapter, takeover-handoffs and bot-message tests pass.
  • tsc --noEmit, oxlint, oxfmt --check, release ledger, CLI parity: clean.
  • Not run against a live Feishu app.
• CI test plan: affected (core messaging). Adds no config file or test directory.

Change outline

• snapshot canPost: an implicit grant is postable only for Group scope.
• post(grantId): an implicit DM grant posts through the explicit saved target for the same private chat (same binding, digest and chatId). Without one, it refuses with capability-unavailable.
• postConversation(binding, conversationId): also resolves an explicit saved target whose DM scope matches the conversation.
• Change fragment changes/3842-feishu-dm-proactive-post.md (Fixed).

No UI change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Proactive Feishu/Lark direct messages now use a previously saved, authorized send target and verify delivery with a receipt.
  • Private chats without a saved send target are no longer shown as available for posting.
  • Posting through an implicit permission is unavailable when no matching saved target exists.
  • Implicit permissions are shown as postable only for supported group conversations; direct messages require a saved send target.

Walkthrough

Implicit Feishu DM posts now use a matching saved grant. Implicit grants targeting DMs are no longer reported as postable. Tests cover saved-target routing and behavior after the saved grant is revoked.

Changes: Feishu DM posting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve saved DM grants packages/core/src/messaging/outbound.ts	The lookup selects an active, explicit, unsuspended grant with a matching binding, bot, target reference, digest, and DM conversation.
Route DM posts and validate postability packages/core/src/messaging/outbound.ts, packages/core/test/messaging-feishu-dm-post.test.ts, changes/3842-feishu-dm-proactive-post.md	Implicit DM posts use the matching saved grant or fail with capability-unavailable. Provider targets can match by conversation ID regardless of scope. The snapshot requires an implicit grant’s target scope to be a group before reporting it as postable. Tests cover routing, receipts, and revoked-target behavior; the changelog records the changes.

Implicit Feishu DM posts now go through a matching saved target and fail with capability-unavailable when none exists. No merge-blocking risk was found; real Feishu behavior was not live-tested.

Explanation

The outbound.ts changes, Feishu DM tests, and changelog entry all implement or verify #3842. The PR does not add unrelated changes. Leaving the separately identified provider-accepted investigation untouched is consistent with its separate scope.

Explanation

#3842 requires proactive Feishu 1:1 sends to succeed. outbound.ts routes implicit DM grants through a matching saved target, updates postConversation target resolution, and limits implicit-DM canPost; the new tests cover these paths with a transport that returns checked DM receipts. However, the PR description states that the current dsh-im host only provides receipts for Feishu groups. Until dsh-im#36 ships, the production DM path returns capability-unavailable instead of delivering the message. The issue’s older-Bot explanation is unverified and is not a separate coding requirement. The issue’s provider-accepted report is described as a separate investigation and does not make this PR out of compliance.

Resolution

Provide a checked DM-send path supported by the current dsh-im host, or include the required host change so proactive Feishu DMs deliver with a checked receipt. Add coverage that verifies the production-supported path, not only a test transport that supplies DM receipts.

CodeRabbit's linked-issue pre-merge check asks for the host change that makes Feishu DMs deliver with a checked receipt. That change lives in the host repo, not here: BotHarness/dsh-im#36 lets a saved Feishu private-chat target (openId + chatId) return a receipt for that exact chat, with runtime and delivery-service tests against the production path. This PR and that one need to merge together. With an older host, this PR fails honestly with capability-unavailable instead of send-permission-denied. Nothing to change in this PR for that check.
