fix(tts): use opus format and enable voice bubbles for feishu and whatsapp (#27366)

smthfoxy · Ning Hu · Takhoffman · web-flow · commit 5350f5b03596 · 2026-02-27T23:41:22.000-06:00
* fix(tts): use opus format and enable voice bubbles for feishu and whatsapp

Previously only Telegram received opus output and had `shouldVoice=true`.
Feishu and WhatsApp also support voice-bubble playback and require opus audio,
but were falling back to mp3 with `audioAsVoice=false`.

- Extract VOICE_BUBBLE_CHANNELS set (telegram, feishu, whatsapp)
- resolveOutputFormat: return TELEGRAM_OUTPUT (opus) for all voice-bubble channels
- shouldVoice: enable for all voice-bubble channels, not just telegram
- Update test to cover feishu and whatsapp cases

* Changelog: add TTS voice-bubble channel coverage note

 - Feishu/Docx convert fallback chunking: recursively split oversized markdown chunks (including long no-heading sections) when `document.convert` hits content limits, while keeping fenced-code-aware split boundaries whenever possible. (#14402) Thanks @lml2468.
 - Feishu/Inbound media regression coverage: add explicit tests for message resource type mapping (`image` stays `image`, non-image maps to `file`) to prevent reintroducing unsupported Feishu `type=audio` fetches. (#16311, #8746) Thanks @Yaxuan42.
 - Feishu/API quota controls: add `typingIndicator` and `resolveSenderNames` config flags (top-level and per-account) so operators can disable typing reactions and sender-name lookup requests while keeping default behavior unchanged. (#10513) Thanks @BigUncle.
+- TTS/Voice bubbles: use opus output and enable `audioAsVoice` routing for Feishu and WhatsApp (in addition to Telegram) so supported channels receive voice-bubble playback instead of file-style audio attachments. (#27366) Thanks @smthfoxy.
 - Security/Feishu webhook ingress: bound unauthenticated webhook rate-limit state with stale-window pruning and a hard key cap to prevent unbounded pre-auth memory growth from rotating source keys. (#26050) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Security/Compaction audit: remove the post-compaction audit injection message. (#28507) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev and @vincentkoc.
 - Telegram/Reply media context: include replied media files in inbound context when replying to media, defer reply-media downloads to debounce flush, gate reply-media fetch behind DM authorization, and preserve replied media when non-vision sticker fallback runs (including cached-sticker paths). (#28488) Thanks @obviyus.
