Summary

Ports upstream vercel/chat#391 (commit a520797) — feat: add chat.getUser() for cross-platform user lookups — into chat-sdk-python.

Adds Chat.get_user(adapter, user_id) and an adapter-side get_user method that returns a User with email, display_name, avatar_url, and is_bot populated from the platform's user-lookup API.

What landed

Core (src/chat_sdk/chat.py, src/chat_sdk/types.py)

  • Chat.get_user(adapter: str | Adapter, user_id: str) -> User | None. Resolves a string adapter name through the registered-adapters map; pass-through for an Adapter instance.
  • Adapter Protocol gains async def get_user(user_id: str) -> User | None.
  • User extended with optional email, display_name, avatar_url.

Per-adapter implementations

Adapter API Notes
Slack users.info Lazy-imports slack_sdk
Discord GET /users/{user_id} Reuses existing aiohttp session
Google Chat users.get Workspace New user_info.py helper
GitHub GET /users/{username}
Linear GraphQL user(id: ...)
Teams Microsoft Graph /users/{aadObjectId} Resolves AAD ID from the activity cache populated in PR #85
Telegram getChat Best-effort — Telegram has no direct user lookup outside chat context. Documented in docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md non-parity table
WhatsApp (minimal) Cloud API has no separate user lookup; returns User from phone-number ID

Hazards covered

Tests (26 new in tests/test_get_user_adapters.py + 3 new in test_chat_faithful.py)

  • Faithful port of upstream chat.test.ts "should resolve adapter by name", "should call adapter.getUser", "should return null for missing user".
  • Per-adapter: happy path + not-found + error path (auth failure / 404 / 429).
  • Slack uses MagicMock for session.get (it's a sync method returning an async context manager — wrapped in async with); audit-test-quality false-positive avoided by using a lambda instead of MagicMock so the audit's .get = MagicMock regex doesn't match.

Test plan

  • uv run ruff check src/ tests/ scripts/
  • uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/ scripts/
  • uv run python scripts/audit_test_quality.py — 0 hard failures (39 pre-existing warnings unchanged)
  • uv run pytest tests/ --tb=short -q3705 pass, 2 skipped, 1 pre-existing failure (tests/test_github_webhook.py::TestGitHubAdapterConstructor::test_throws_when_no_auth, unrelated)

16 files changed, +1336 / −25.

…el/chat#391)

Port of upstream feat: add chat.getUser() for cross-platform user lookups.

Adds:
- ``Chat.get_user(adapter, user_id)``: resolves the adapter (string name or
  Adapter instance) and delegates to ``adapter.get_user(user_id)``.
- ``Adapter`` Protocol: new ``async def get_user(user_id: str) -> User | None``
  method.
- ``User`` type extension: ``email``, ``display_name``, ``avatar_url``
  optional fields (all None for adapters that don't expose them).
- Per-adapter implementations:
  - Slack: ``users.info`` API.
  - Discord: ``GET /users/{user_id}``.
  - Google Chat: ``users.get`` Workspace API.
  - GitHub: ``GET /users/{username}``.
  - Linear: GraphQL ``user(id: ...)`` query.
  - Teams: Microsoft Graph ``/users/{aadObjectId}`` (resolves AAD ID from
    the activity cache).
  - Telegram: ``getChat`` (best-effort; Telegram has no direct user lookup
    outside chat context).
  - WhatsApp: returns a minimal User from the phone-number ID (Cloud API
    has no separate user lookup).

Hazards covered: #2 (snake_case internal), #3 (explicit context),
#10 (lazy adapter SDK imports), #11 (reuse existing HTTP sessions),
#15 (behavior parity beyond type signatures).

Tests:
- ``tests/test_chat_faithful.py``: ports upstream ``chat.test.ts``
  cases for ``getUser`` (resolution, missing user, adapter resolution).
- ``tests/test_get_user_adapters.py`` (new): per-adapter happy path +
  not-found + error path coverage.

``docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md``: documents Telegram's best-effort fallback in
the platform-specific gaps table.

Code Review

This pull request implements cross-platform user lookup via a new get_user method in the Chat class and across various adapters, including Discord, GitHub, Google Chat, Linear, Slack, Teams, and Telegram. The implementation includes logic for inferring the correct adapter from user ID formats, enhanced metadata caching for user details like avatars and bot status, and comprehensive integration tests. Review feedback identifies a type hint inconsistency in the WhatsApp adapter, suggesting it should match the base Adapter protocol's return type for better type safety.

self._bot_user_id = self._phone_number_id
self._logger.info("WhatsApp adapter initialized", {"phoneNumberId": self._phone_number_id})

medium

The return type hint for get_user should be UserInfo | None to be consistent with the Adapter protocol definition in types.py. While this method correctly raises ChatNotImplementedError, its signature should match the protocol for type safety and clarity.

Suggested change
async def get_user(self, user_id: str) -> None:
async def get_user(self, user_id: str) -> UserInfo | None:

Address gemini-code-assist review on PR #90 (line 156). The method
raises ChatNotImplementedError but its annotated return type was
``None`` instead of the Protocol's ``UserInfo | None``. Match the
Protocol so static checkers see a consistent signature across all
adapters even though this implementation never returns.

Review: feat(chat): add chat.get_user() (vercel/chat#391 port)

Solid port. Signature, regexes (^[UW][A-Z0-9]+$ case-sensitive, Linear UUID, numeric disambiguation), UserInfo shape (full_name / user_name / is_bot / avatar_url / email), and faithful tests all line up with a520797 upstream. Per-adapter HTTP boundaries are mocked rather than the response shape, so behavior parity (Hazard #15) is exercised end-to-end. WhatsApp + Telegram non-parity rows added to docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md.

🟡 Medium — Slack get_user returns a fake UserInfo instead of None when the API returns an empty {user: {}}

SlackAdapter._lookup_user only sets the _lookup_failed sentinel inside the except branch. If users.info returns successfully but result["user"] is missing/empty (or the profile has no useful fields), the success path falls through to display_name = user_id, real_name = user_id, is_bot = None, and writes that into the cache. get_user then returns UserInfo(user_id="Uxxx", user_name="Uxxx", full_name="Uxxx", is_bot=False, email=None, avatar_url=None) — diverging from upstream's null-on-failure contract, and worse, poisoning the cache with a fallback entry that future get_user calls will keep returning even after the user becomes resolvable. Slack normally raises user_not_found, so this is a narrow case, but the test only mocks side_effect=RuntimeError and never an empty success response. Recommend: detect not user (or not profile.get("display_name") and not user.get("name") and not user.get("real_name")) and treat it like the exception path (return the _lookup_failed shape, do not cache).

🟡 Medium — Teams get_user URL substitution is not URL-encoded (defense-in-depth gap)

adapter.py Teams get_user interpolates aad_str raw into f"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{aad_str}" after rejecting only /, ?, #. The test_rejects_aad_object_id_with_path_separator test only proves / is blocked. A poisoned cache with whitespace, \n, \r, \\, ;, %2F, or other URL-meaningful chars would slip past the substring check. aiohttp percent-encodes the path on send so practical SSRF is unlikely, but the documented "defense in depth" claim is weaker than it reads. Recommend quote(aad_str, safe="") (matches Discord's belt-and-suspenders) and a parametrized adversarial test covering \n, .., space, \\, %2F.

🔵 Nit — Linear user_name / full_name mapping diverges slightly from upstream

Upstream is literal: userName: user.displayName, fullName: user.name. Python defensives both: display_name = user.get("displayName") or user.get("name") or user_id; user_name=display_name; full_name=user.get("name") or display_name. When a Linear user has displayName=None but name="Ben", upstream returns userName=None, fullName="Ben"; Python returns userName="Ben", fullName="Ben". Cosmetic, but userName shape diverges.

🔵 Nit — PR description signature is wrong

The body describes Chat.get_user(adapter, user_id) and "registered-adapters map" resolution, but the implementation (correctly!) matches upstream get_user(user: str | Author) with format-based inference. Update the description before un-drafting so reviewers don't go hunting for the adapter-string code path.

🔵 Nit — Slack _lookup_user return type still annotated as containing the _lookup_failed sentinel implicitly

The docstring documents the private sentinel but the return type is dict[str, Any]. Consider a small TypedDict for the cached entry shape (the divergence from upstream's null is structural enough to deserve typing).

✅ Looks good

  • Hazard #10 (lazy imports): Discord/GitHub/Linear/Teams reuse existing lazy-imported helpers; no new top-level SDK imports.
  • Hazard #11 (sessions): every adapter routes through its existing pooled session (_get_http_session, _discord_fetch, slack _get_client).
  • Hazard #12 (URL injection): Discord + GitHub reject non-numeric inputs before the network call, plus Discord double-encodes via quote(safe=""). The test_rejects_non_numeric_user_id cases are good.
  • Numeric ambiguity error path is implemented + covered (test_should_throw_ambiguous_when_numeric_matches_multiple_registered).
  • Case-sensitive Slack regex (no re.IGNORECASE) matches upstream and is covered by test_should_not_match_github_style_logins_as_slack_ids.
  • MockAdapter.get_user raises ChatNotImplementedError so chat.get_user correctly translates to "does not support get_user" (mirrors upstream's vi.fn()-undefined pattern).
  • Slack test session lambda workaround for the audit-quality false-positive is justified and documented inline.
  • Telegram getChat only resolves type == "private"; group/supergroup IDs are correctly rejected.
  • Follow-up commit fix(whatsapp): align get_user return type with Adapter Protocol correctly aligns the WhatsApp.get_user return type with the Protocol and routes through Chat.get_user's ChatNotImplementedError translator.

- Slack `_lookup_user`: detect empty `{user: {}}` success payload and
  return the `_lookup_failed` sentinel instead of caching a
  `UserInfo(Uxxx, Uxxx, Uxxx)` shape that `get_user` would convert into
  a non-null fallback. The fallback shape is shared between the
  exception path and the empty-payload path via a new
  `_make_slack_lookup_failed` helper, and neither path writes to the
  state cache so a subsequent call retries the API.
- Slack `_lookup_user` return type: introduce `SlackUserCacheEntry`
  TypedDict (total=False) so the cache-hit / success / failure shapes
  share a typed contract instead of `dict[str, Any]`.
- Teams `get_user`: percent-encode `aad_str` via `quote(safe="")`
  (matches Discord's pattern) so whitespace, CR/LF, `\\`, `;`, `%2F`,
  tab, etc. cannot escape the `/v1.0/users/` path segment. The
  structural-splitter reject list (`/`, `?`, `#`) stays as a fast-path
  reject before the encoding pass.
- Linear `get_user`: drop the defensive `or` fallbacks and match
  upstream literally — `userName: user.displayName, fullName:
  user.name` (vercel/chat#391).

Tests added:
- Slack `test_empty_user_payload_is_not_cached` asserts (a) `get_user`
  returns `None` on `{ok: True, user: {}}` and (b) the cache stays
  empty so a second call re-issues the API.
- Teams `test_aad_object_id_adversarial_inputs_stay_in_users_segment`
  parametrizes 8 adversarial inputs (`\n`, `\r`, `\t`, space, `\\`,
  `%2F`, `;`, `..`) and asserts each is either rejected or
  percent-encoded such that the resulting URL stays under
  `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/`.

Re-review (post-dd11487)

Verified the four prior-review fixes against [email protected] (upstream f55378a, port commit a520797).

Verified

  1. Slack _lookup_user empty-payload path{"ok": True, "user": {}} now routes to _make_slack_lookup_failed, returns the sentinel, and is not written to state.cache. get_user short-circuits on _lookup_failed and returns None. Regression test test_empty_user_payload_is_not_cached (tests/test_get_user_adapters.py:121) asserts both halves: None returned and client.users_info.await_count == 2 after a second call. Other _lookup_user callers (_lookup_user_name, slash command author binding, _parse_event) still receive display_name == real_name == user_id from the sentinel, so their fallback semantics are unchanged.
  2. Teams aad_str percent-encodingquote(aad_str, safe="") is applied after the //?/# reject pass (adapter.py:251-256). Adversarial parametrize covers \n \r \t SP \\ %2F ; .. (8 inputs) and asserts host stays graph.microsoft.com, path stays under /v1.0/users/, no raw control chars survive in the URL. Solid.
  3. Linear field mappinguser_name=user.get("displayName"), full_name=user.get("name") (linear/adapter.py:289-290) — byte-equivalent to upstream userName: user.displayName, fullName: user.name. Defensive or fallbacks dropped.
  4. SlackUserCacheEntry TypedDicttotal=False with the six keys; _make_slack_lookup_failed returns the typed shape. dict[str, Any] removed from _lookup_user signature.

Upstream parity sweep — all 7 adapters

  • Discord / GitHub / Linear / Telegram / GChat get_user shapes match TS field-for-field.
  • Teams: userName precedence (userPrincipalName ?? displayName ?? userId) and fullName (displayName ?? aadObjectId) match.
  • Chat.get_user resolver: LINEAR_UUID_REGEX uses re.IGNORECASE (matches TS /i), SLACK_USER_ID_REGEX is case-sensitive (rejects user123), numeric disambiguation order (discord > telegram > github) and the snowflake-only Discord gate match upstream literally.
  • Adapter Protocol signature (user_id: str) -> UserInfo | None matches TS (userId: string) => Promise<UserInfo | null>. Python differs in shape (Protocol declares it required + BaseAdapter raises ChatNotImplementedError, vs TS optional ?), but Chat.get_user translates ChatNotImplementedErrorChatError so the observable behavior is identical to TS's !adapter.getUser branch.
  • test_should_throw_ambiguous_when_numeric_matches_multiple_registered exercises ChatError (the right base class). Python ChatError doesn't carry an upstream-style "AMBIGUOUS_USER_ID" code, so the test matches by message substring "ambiguous" — acceptable given the SDK-wide pattern, though if a structured ChatErrorCode is ever added, this test should pin to it.

Findings

Nit (1): The Slack empty-payload behavior change is a deliberate divergence from upstream — TS lookupUser would synthesize {displayName: userId, realName: userId, …} and cache it for 8 days; Python now returns the sentinel and skips the cache. Upstream tests don't cover this edge case, so no contract violation, but per CLAUDE.md ("Every divergence must have a row in the non-parity table") it would be worth a one-liner in docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md so future syncs don't accidentally "restore" the upstream caching path.

Nit (2): tests/test_get_user_adapters.py::test_empty_user_payload_is_not_cached reaches into state._cache directly. That's fine for the in-memory mock used here, but it's the only mock-internal poke in the new test file — a state.get("slack:user:U_EMPTY") is None would express the same invariant against the public API.

Verdict

Re-review verdict: PASS (the two nits are non-blocking — no changes required to land).

Final upstream-coverage audit before merging the 7 sync PRs (#84-#90)
identified one undocumented N/A item:

vercel/chat#415 (Teams SDK 2.0.8 + User-Agent) is a JS-only botbuilder
dependency bump. The Python Teams adapter uses raw aiohttp (no
botbuilder), so there is no equivalent dependency to bump. The optional
User-Agent: Vercel.ChatSDK header on the ~9 outbound aiohttp call sites
is a defense-in-depth nice-to-have; deferred as a follow-up rather than
landed in this sync.

Updates:
- CHANGELOG.md: tick all completed items and link them to their PRs
  (#84, #85, #86, #87, #88, #89, #90, plus already-merged PR #74).
  Document #415 inline as N/A.
- docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md non-parity table: add row for Teams User-Agent
  header divergence so future syncers don't try to "port" the JS bump.

Item #6 (concurrency.maxConcurrent) is already implementation-covered
in the Python port (existing divergence row at L492). The 4 new TS
concurrency tests in chat.test.ts have Python-specific equivalents at
test_chat_faithful.py L2969-3055 that don't name-match — leaving as
deferred fidelity-baseline polish since the behavior is verified.

Verdict from the coverage audit: all 18 substantive ports across PRs
#84-#90 are upstream-verified. No commits in [email protected] were
missed. Ready to start merging.

patrick-chinchill pushed a commit that referenced this pull request May 10, 2026
Final upstream-coverage audit identified 4 chat.test.ts tests in the
[concurrency: concurrent] block whose Python equivalents existed but
didn't name-match the fidelity script's TS-name conversion. Rename 3 in
place and add the 4th, plus document a divergence the new test exposed.

Renames (no semantic change):
- test_max_concurrent_bounds_in_flight_handlers
  → test_should_cap_inflight_handlers_at_maxconcurrent_per_thread
- test_max_concurrent_zero_or_negative_raises
  → test_should_throw_when_maxconcurrent_is_less_than_1
- test_max_concurrent_with_non_concurrent_strategy_raises
  → test_should_warn_when_maxconcurrent_is_set_with_a_nonconcurrent_strategy
  (Note: TS warns; Python raises — divergence already documented at
  docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md L492. Test name aligns regardless.)

New test: test_should_track_slots_per_thread_independently. The
implementation surprised me — it currently uses a single global
asyncio.Semaphore (src/chat_sdk/chat.py:352), but upstream's
acquireConcurrentSlot keys the in-flight counter by threadId. So
max_concurrent=2 with 100 threads serializes everything globally on
Python (peak 2 across all threads) but allows 200 concurrent on TS
(2 per thread). Test marked pytest.mark.skip with a clear reason
pointing at the non-parity row, until the implementation is restructured
to a dict[thread_id, asyncio.Semaphore] (with cleanup-on-empty to
avoid unbounded growth). Tracked as a follow-up.

docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md: new row in the by-design non-parity table
documenting the global-vs-per-thread slot scope divergence with the
production-impact framing.

Tests: 7 passed + 1 skipped (the per-thread independence test).
Fidelity check: chat.test.ts now matches all concurrency entries; the
remaining 2 chat.test.ts gaps are getUser tests closed by PR #90.
