Summary

Rewrite the Feishu markdown table rendering pipeline so that GFM table syntax is sent as Feishu post/md content (native table rendering) instead of being forced to plain text.

Problem

When Hermes Agent sends a markdown table to Feishu, _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE detected it and forced a plain text fallback. But _strip_markdown_to_plain_text() does not cleanly strip tables — the separator line survives, producing a mangled mix.

Solution

  • Merge table-row anchor into _MARKDOWN_HINT_RE so tables are routed to post type
  • Remove _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE forced-text branch
  • Retry post on rejection (not downgrade to plain text)
  • edit_message fallback: send new post instead of stripping

Changes

File Change
plugins/platforms/feishu/adapter.py 4 targeted fixes
tests/gateway/test_feishu_fallback.py 18 new test cases

All 18 tests pass.

Closes #27922. Based on upstream 88b720e.

- edit_message(): when Feishu API rejects post payload with
  'content format of the post type is incorrect', send a NEW post
  message instead of falling back to plain text. This keeps table
  formatting intact for streaming responses.
- _build_outbound_payload(): remove _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE workaround
  that forced tables to text mode. Feishu post 'md' elements DO
  render GFM tables; routing tables to post type restores rendering.
- _MARKDOWN_HINT_RE: add (^\s*\|) to detect table rows and route
  them to post type correctly.

Closes: tables degrade to plain text during streaming.
When Feishu API rejects a post payload (e.g. incomplete GFM table during
streaming), send() previously fell back to plain text via
_strip_markdown_to_plain_text(), destroying table formatting.

Now send() retries the same post payload instead of downgrading to text,
preserving markdown tables across both exception and response-error
fallback paths.

This mirrors the fix already applied to edit_message().

Tests: added test_send_post_rejected_retry_as_post_on_exception and
test_send_post_rejected_retry_as_post_on_response (18/18 passing)

Thanks for the focused Feishu table-routing work. The underlying routing issue is still present on current main, but this revision needs correction before it is salvageable.

Problems

  • tests/test_feishu_fallback.py:11 imports gateway.platforms.feishu, which no longer exists on current main; the adapter is at plugins/platforms/feishu/adapter.py, so the new test file cannot collect as written.
  • plugins/platforms/feishu/adapter.py:1918 and :1931 resend the same post payload after Feishu has rejected that payload as invalid. Current main deliberately falls back to text in this case (plugins/platforms/feishu/adapter.py:1913-1936), as documented in website/docs/user-guide/messaging/feishu.md:419 and tested in tests/gateway/test_feishu.py:2862-2950. Removing that fallback can turn an unsupported-post rendering failure into a dropped message.
  • tests/test_feishu_fallback.py:275-321 only checks call counts, not the retry message type or payload.

Suggested changes

  • Import the migrated plugin adapter in the new tests.
  • Keep table detection/routing to post separate from the generic invalid-post fallback; retain a delivery-preserving text fallback when Feishu rejects a post payload.
  • Capture and assert each retry's type and payload.

This is an automated hermes-sweeper review.

→ same fallback behavior as edit_message
3. _build_outbound_payload correctly routes markdown tables to post type
4. _strip_markdown_to_plain_text correctly strips markdown

gateway.platforms.feishu no longer exists on current main after the platform-plugin migration; the adapter is plugins.platforms.feishu.adapter. This import will fail test collection, so please update the test to use the current module path.

Feishu has already rejected this exact post payload as invalid, and this retry resubmits it unchanged. That removes the current post→text delivery fallback for unsupported Markdown; preserve the text fallback here and in the response-error branch, while routing valid tables to post on the normal path.

result = await adapter.send(chat_id="test_chat", content=table_content)

assert result.success is True
assert call_count[0] == 2

This proves only that the fake was called twice. Record the msg_type and payload for both calls and assert the intended fallback explicitly; otherwise a retry with the wrong message type still passes.

Closing — this was fixed on main by #68121, which removes the _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE force-text downgrade and routes tables through post/md, the same direction as this PR. You were also among the first to identify this fix (via your earlier #27922, referenced in the #26658 thread). Note: the part of this PR that changes the API-rejection fallback from text to retry-as-post was not adopted — the plain-text fallback stays as the safety net for tenants lagging the server-side fix. The salvage was based on #58019 (cleanest implementation vs current main, with tests) with #29552 credited as the earliest submitter against the live plugin adapter path; both authors' commits were cherry-picked with authorship preserved. Thanks for contributing a fix for this — it was one of the most-reported bugs in the tracker.
