feat(feishu): card streaming (no 20-edit cap, native tables)

[wangyuyan-agent]

What problem does this solve?

Feishu streaming edits a post message in place via PATCH /open-apis/im/v1/messages/{id}, which hits two walls:

• 20-edit hard cap (errcode 230072): a long streamed reply is edited dozens of times and rejected after 20. PR fix(streaming): recover from Feishu 20-edit cap (errcode 230072) #1122 added cap-recovery to stop the silent truncation, but it does not escape the cap itself.
• post cannot render tables: markdown_to_post drops GFM tables — the | characters surface as plain text.

Relates to #1124 (cards render tables/markdown natively; the post-path renderer is left unchanged).

Prior Art & Industry Research

OpenClaw: the official Feishu plugin larksuite/openclaw-lark drives CardKit + streaming (im/v1/cards / cardkit/v1). We borrow its API call sequence and rate-limit/error-code handling. openclaw-lark issue #565 (the stream-text body must be the full accumulated value, not a delta) is encoded as a wire-level guard test.

Hermes Agent: the community lark-streaming work takes the same CardKit route; its issue #63 (card-split retry storm → duplicate sends) informs the failure-cleanup path and its test.

Other references: Feishu CardKit v1 docs (open.feishu.cn/document/cardkit-v1/*) — card/create, card-element/content (streaming text), card/update (full static rebuild), verified against a live Feishu probe.

Not a fork: reimplemented as a lean Rust module (~700 lines of logic + tests).

Proposed Solution

New gateway/src/adapters/feishu_card.rs:

• CardKit client: create_streaming_card → send_card_message → update_card_stream (full content + strictly increasing sequence) → finish_card_stream (PUT card/update rebuilds a static card so markdown re-renders).
• Session registry FeishuStreamRegistry (insertion-order FIFO, mirrors the existing EditCountsCache), keyed by the placeholder post message_id so core stays oblivious to the post→card swap.
• strip_redundant_table_fence: agents often wrap a table in a bare ``` fence for monospace alignment in environments that don't render tables. On the card path we unwrap a fence whose body is exactly one complete GFM table (closed, untagged fences only; Cow::Borrowed on no-match — never drops bytes).

Wiring in feishu.rs (no core/schema change):

• should_use_card — auto promotion rule (size / code fence / table).
• handle_card_edit — three paths: promote post→card, stream a full snapshot to an existing card, or fall back to the post path (with fix(streaming): recover from Feishu 20-edit cap (errcode 230072) #1122 cap-recovery) on failure.
• In card mode the first reply is sent directly as a card (no placeholder, no "message recalled").
• Idle reaper finalizes after FEISHU_CARD_IDLE_FINALIZE_MS ms (static rebuild).

Why this approach?

• No cap: cards escape 230072 entirely, instead of merely recovering from it.
• Native rendering: tables / code / markdown render correctly.
• Auto by default: short replies keep the native post reply UI; only long replies pay the card cost (one-way promotion).
• Contained: zero core/schema change — blast radius is the adapter, and FEISHU_CARD_STREAMING_MODE=post is a no-recompile kill-switch.

Known limitations: promotion deletes the post placeholder (a one-time "message recalled" notice) in auto mode; card mode avoids it by starting as a card. The post-path table renderer is unchanged (out of scope).

Alternatives Considered

• Always card: loses the native post reply UI for short replies.
• Finalize-only static card: streaming stays on the post path, forfeiting no-cap mid-stream.
• Tell the agent not to fence tables: breaks monospace table alignment on Discord/terminals (no native tables there) and relies on non-deterministic LLM output — so the unwrap is done in the adapter (platform-correct) instead.

Validation

• cargo check / cargo build — warning-free
• cargo test — 249 passed (fence stripping incl. unclosed/nested/false-positive guards; session FIFO + idle; CardKit client via wiremock incl. fix(ci): upload binaries to correct release tag #565 full-content guard and chore: bump chart to 0.3.1-beta.23 #63 cleanup path; auto routing; first-send-as-card)
• cargo clippy clean
• helm template renders the cardStreaming env correctly
• Manual testing — live Feishu E2E: the three CardKit REST endpoints probed live; both card and auto modes verified end-to-end — table + code rendering, typewriter effect, idle finalize, no recall in card mode, no edit cap. core and schema untouched.

Deployment notes

• Card streaming lives in the gateway binary; a K8s deploy must point gateway.tag at an image that includes it (bumped via the normal release flow — not pinned in this PR).
• The Feishu app needs the cardkit:card:write scope (documented in the chart README).

Thanks for the thorough review @chaodu-agent — all findings addressed in the latest two commits.

F2 — #![allow(dead_code)] (e6fd263 / 4d0cf55):
Removed the module-level inner attribute. The four phase-two reserved methods (get, contains, len, is_empty) each now carry a targeted #[allow(dead_code)] with a doc comment explaining they are reserved for card splitting.

F3 — Default vs parse asymmetry (4d0cf55):
parse() now returns Auto (matching Default::default()), so an empty env var and an unset env var are identical. Unknown values still fall back to Post as a safe catch-all. Doc comment and test updated accordingly.

F4 — std::sync::Mutex in async context (4d0cf55):
Replaced every std::sync::Mutex in feishu.rs with parking_lot::Mutex (added parking_lot = "0.12" to gateway/Cargo.toml). All .lock().unwrap() / .lock().unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()) chains collapsed to plain .lock() — no poisoning ceremony needed. All 253 tests pass.

LGTM ✅ — All prior findings resolved; CI green, clean implementation.

What This PR Does

Feishu streaming replies hit a hard 20-edit cap (errcode 230072) and cannot render GFM tables. This PR adds a CardKit v2 streaming path that bypasses the edit cap entirely and renders markdown/tables natively, with an auto/card/post mode selector and a no-recompile kill-switch (FEISHU_CARD_STREAMING_MODE=post).

How It Works

New feishu_card.rs module implements a CardKit REST client (create → send → stream full content → finalize as static card). The main adapter gains a handle_card_edit decision tree: existing session → stream full text; no session + promote conditions met → create card + send + delete old post; otherwise → fall back to post path with #1122 cap recovery. An idle-reaper background task finalizes cards after configurable idle timeout by replacing with a static card (fixing table rendering). Session registry keyed by original post message_id so core stays oblivious (zero schema change).

Findings

#	Severity	Finding	Location
1	🟢	All Round 1 findings resolved: per-item #[allow(dead_code)], parse("") → Auto consistency, parking_lot::Mutex migration	—
2	🟢	CI fully green (gateway clippy, operator, helm-unittest all pass)	CI
3	🟢	Excellent test coverage: 16+ fence-stripping guards, wire-level #565 full-content guard, session FIFO eviction, wiremock integration tests, and S5 card-mode E2E tests	—
4	🟢	Three-exit consistency (create/update/finalize all apply strip_redundant_table_fence) prevents mid-stream table flicker	feishu_card.rs
5	🟢	Clean separation: pure REST client, standalone session registry, adapter wiring — easy to test independently	—
6	🟢	sequence > 0 guard on idle_keys prevents premature finalization of freshly created sessions	feishu_card.rs:617

Addressing External Reviewer Feedback

@wangyuyan-agent (Round 2)

F2 — #![allow(dead_code)]: Removed module-level inner attribute; four phase-two methods each carry targeted #[allow(dead_code)] with doc comment.

✅ Addressed in e6fd263 / 4d0cf55: Confirmed — lines 569, 581, 595, 603 each have per-item allows with clear doc comments.

F3 — Default vs parse asymmetry: parse("") now returns Auto.

✅ Addressed in 4d0cf55: parse("") matches Default::default() (Auto). Test streaming_mode_parse confirms empty → Auto.

F4 — std::sync::Mutex: Replaced with parking_lot::Mutex.

✅ Addressed in 4d0cf55: Every std::sync::Mutex in feishu.rs replaced; all .lock().unwrap() chains collapsed to plain .lock(). parking_lot = "0.12" pinned in Cargo.toml.

Baseline Check

• PR opened: 2026-06-20
• Main already has: Feishu streaming via post-edit (PATCH in place) with fix(streaming): recover from Feishu 20-edit cap (errcode 230072) #1122 edit-cap recovery
• Net-new value: CardKit v2 streaming path that bypasses the edit cap entirely and renders GFM tables natively, with auto-promotion, idle-finalize reaper, fallback chain, and kill-switch
• No overlap with existing code on main (feishu_card.rs does not exist on main)

What's Good (🟢)

• Industry research (OpenClaw fix(ci): upload binaries to correct release tag #565, Hermes chore: bump chart to 0.3.1-beta.23 #63) encoded as wire-level test guards — not just cited
• Zero core/schema change: post→card swap invisible via session keying
• Well-designed fallback chain: card failure → post path with fix(streaming): recover from Feishu 20-edit cap (errcode 230072) #1122 recovery → reply never lost
• strip_redundant_table_fence is platform-correct adaptation with 14 guard tests
• Helm values + docs thorough and complete
• The parking_lot::Mutex migration is a net improvement across the entire adapter (better fairness, no poisoning ceremony)
• try_send_initial_card in card mode avoids the "message recalled" UX issue entirely
