Typing a message froze the Chat tab: the composer stopped taking clicks and
keystrokes, the message never appeared, and it was there all along on the next
visit to the tab.
The node answers a chat message with a bare {"type": "ack"} -- no request id,
no type of its own -- so _dispatch had nothing to match it on and left it to
the arrival-order guess at the end of the function. That guess is wrong the
moment anything else this browser asked for is still waiting: the ack went to
*that* request, and the chat send waited out _sendAndWait's own 30s timeout.
Since the composer is disabled while a send is in flight, that reads as a
frozen tab; the node had stored the message and answered, into somebody else's
promise.
An outstanding request is the ordinary case, not a rare one. The node refuses
an unknown file_id with a bare `error`, which names no request either and so
reaches none, leaving the Videos tab's media_meta_req in _pending for the full
30s. That is the one that was live when this was found.
- `ack` is now matched by request type: chat_msg, or the keypair-bundle store
and delete, which name themselves in `detail`. A node naming neither still
has its reply placed rather than dropped.
Every line of chat-app.js is correct and every routed message in transport.js
is routed correctly -- the defect is in the seam, so tests/harness/
chat_send_probe.py drives the two together: the real ChatPanel over the real
MeshBayTransport, with only the DataChannel replaced by a stand-in answering
what the node answers. test_chat_send.py asserts against it, and with the fix
reverted all three of its tests fail on the three visible halves of the defect
-- the composer still disabled, the message absent, and the ack resolving the
unrelated request.
