Addressed the root-toast click finding: the instance |
Override-only key (default true) so admins can disable the notification inline reply field fleet-wide via overridden-settings.json (SUP-1097).
Windows auto-dismisses toasts to the Action Center in ~5s; the app then dropped the Notification instance and the webview reply handler, so any reply typed afterwards was silently lost (SUP-1097). Electron 42's Notification.handleActivation delivers those activations: - pass the notification id to the toast (Tag) and keep routing metadata past 'close' (bounded map) so late replies still reach the right room - on Windows, route reply/action/click exclusively through handleActivation (instance listeners stay as fallback when the API is unavailable) to avoid double-dispatch on live toasts - keep preload event handlers alive after toast close (bounded map) - gate hasReply on the isNotificationQuickReplyEnabled setting
Root-toast clicks carry no activation arguments on Windows (only structured reply/action activations do), so activation routing can never receive them. Attach the instance click listener unconditionally, drop the unreachable click branch from the activation handler, and slim the routing metadata to what reply/action need.
createNotification now reads isNotificationQuickReplyEnabled via select; the coverage spec from #3429 mocked the store without it.

The web client auto-closes every desktop notification ~10s after showing it, but on Windows the Action Center card stays on screen and still accepts quick replies. Treating that close as the end of the notification's life dropped the routing metadata (and left the card in place, since the instance had already been removed on the banner's own 'close'), so any reply typed after those 10s was silently lost — which is why thread replies failed while faster DM replies worked. - retain routing metadata past dismissal on the activation-routing path - keep the timed-out instance reachable so a dismissal can actually remove the Action Center card - fall back to a broadcast dispatch when metadata is genuinely gone (LRU eviction, cold start) instead of dropping the reply

Two findings worth knowing for testingPressing Enter does not submit a Windows toast reply — the notification's own Reply button must be clicked. Typed text simply stays in the box, which looks exactly like a failed send. The QA steps above have been updated; this is the single easiest way to produce a false failure. Stacked cards submit together. If several Rocket.Chat notifications are sitting in the Action Center and one still holds unsent text in its reply box, clicking Reply on one can submit the others too, producing what looks like duplicated messages. Clear the Action Center between attempts when testing replies. Activation drops now go through the app logger ( |

close() clears notificationCategories before a root-toast click on a card still in the Action Center can read it, so the click dispatched without payload.category. Carry category in NotificationRoutingMeta as a fallback once the primary map is cleared (CodeRabbit review on #3464).

Summary
Fixes Windows notification quick replies being silently lost, and adds a fleet-wide switch to disable the reply field (SUP-1097).
Windows auto-dismisses toasts to the Action Center after ~5s. The app then dropped its
Notificationinstance and the webview-side reply handler, so a reply typed after that never posted — matching the customer report. Electron 42'sNotification.handleActivation(win32) delivers exactly those activations.idto the toast (Tag) and keep reply routing alive for as long as the Action Center card can be replied to, so late replies still reach the right roomhandleActivationexclusively on Windows to avoid double-dispatch on live toasts; instance listeners remain as fallback when the API is unavailableisNotificationQuickReplyEnabled(defaulttrue) inoverridden-settings.jsongates the reply field, documented in the READMEQA steps
Getting a build: this PR carries the
build-artifactslabel, so CI builds installers for every platform and a bot comment on this PR lists the direct download links (Windowsx64/ia32/arm64, macOS, Linux). Grab the Windows installer from that comment — do not build locally, QA should test the same artifact CI produces.Prerequisites: a workspace you can receive notifications from, a second account to message you from, and Windows notifications enabled for Rocket.Chat (Settings → System → Notifications). Keep Focus Assist / Do Not Disturb OFF — it suppresses toasts entirely.
Win+Aon Windows 10,Win+Non Windows 11), find the Rocket.Chat notification, type a reply there and click its Reply button. → The message must appear in the DM. Note: the card closes on Enter whether or not the reply was delivered, so always verify in the room rather than by the card disappearing.overridden-settings.jsoncontaining{"isNotificationQuickReplyEnabled": false}next to the app (see README for the exact locations), restart, and trigger a notification. → The toast must render with NO reply input field. Set it back totrue(or remove the key) and confirm the field returns.Note: replies typed into a notification after the app has fully quit are not delivered — the app is not running to receive them. That is a Windows/Electron constraint, not something this PR changes.
