Walkthrough
ChangesMedia confirmation idempotency
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change prevents duplicate media messages, but the current implementation may reject existing file-message history during rollout and may let a retry return a message whose temporary upload is no longer protected from cleanup. These bounded correctness and deployment risks require explicit owner follow-up before merge. Suggested labels: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.

Confirm the upload before returning an existing message.
If a prior request inserts the message but fails before Line 388, the upload retains expiresAt. A retry enters this branch and returns without Uploads.confirmTemporaryFile. Cleanup can then remove the upload while the message still references it.
Proposed fix
const existingMessage = await Messages.getMessageByFileIdAndUsername(this.urlParams.fileId, this.userId);
if (existingMessage) {
+ await Uploads.confirmTemporaryFile(this.urlParams.fileId, this.userId);
return API.v1.success({

Scope the unique index to live messages and add a rollout migration.
History cloning preserves file._id in _hidden documents while the source remains in message, so edits, pins, deletions, and moderation can fail with duplicate-key errors for file messages. Existing duplicates can also make BaseRaw.createIndexes() fail; it only logs the error. Clean duplicate live values, replace the existing index, and exclude history records or remove file._id from them.

Summary
Closes #41886
Adds an idempotency guard to the
rooms.mediaConfirmendpoint to prevent duplicate messages when the samefileIdis confirmed more than once (e.g. client retries after a dropped response, or concurrent confirms).Changes
apps/meteor/server/api/v1/rooms.ts: before callingsendFileMessage, checks if a message already exists for the givenfileId+userIdviaMessages.getMessageByFileIdAndUsername. If found, returns the existing message instead of inserting a new one.try/catcharound the insert to handle the remaining race window: if two confirms land concurrently and both pass the guard, the second insert now fails on the unique index (see below) instead of creating a duplicate; on a Mongo duplicate key error (code: 11000), it re-fetches and returns the message the other request created.packages/models/src/models/Messages.ts: changed the existing{ 'file._id': 1 }index fromsparsetosparse + unique, so the database itself rejects duplicate messages for the samefile._ideven under a race the application-level guard misses.apps/meteor/tests/end-to-end/api/rooms.ts: added an integration test that confirms the samefileIdtwice and asserts the second response returns the same message_idas the first (no duplicate created).Testing
