# @qwen-code/channel-base
|
||||
|
||||
Base infrastructure for building Qwen Code channel adapters. Provides the abstract base class, access control, session routing, and the ACP bridge that communicates with the agent.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're building a channel plugin, this is your only dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install @qwen-code/channel-base
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
Subclass `ChannelBase` and implement three methods:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ChannelBase } from '@qwen-code/channel-base';
|
||||
import type {
|
||||
ChannelConfig,
|
||||
Envelope,
|
||||
AcpBridge,
|
||||
} from '@qwen-code/channel-base';
|
||||
|
||||
class MyChannel extends ChannelBase {
|
||||
async connect(): Promise<void> {
|
||||
// Connect to platform API, register message handlers.
|
||||
// When a message arrives, build an Envelope and call:
|
||||
// this.handleInbound(envelope)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async sendMessage(chatId: string, text: string): Promise<void> {
|
||||
// Deliver the agent's response to the platform.
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
disconnect(): void {
|
||||
// Clean up connections on shutdown.
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Export a `ChannelPlugin` object so the extension loader can discover it:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import type { ChannelPlugin } from '@qwen-code/channel-base';
|
||||
|
||||
export const plugin: ChannelPlugin = {
|
||||
channelType: 'my-platform',
|
||||
displayName: 'My Platform',
|
||||
requiredConfigFields: ['apiKey'],
|
||||
createChannel: (name, config, bridge, options) =>
|
||||
new MyChannel(name, config, bridge, options),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For a complete working example, see [`@qwen-code/channel-plugin-example`](../plugin-example/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Inbound: Platform message
|
||||
→ Envelope
|
||||
→ GroupGate (group policy + mention gating)
|
||||
→ SenderGate (allowlist / pairing / open)
|
||||
→ Slash commands (/clear, /help, /status)
|
||||
→ SessionRouter (resolve or create ACP session)
|
||||
→ AcpBridge.prompt() → agent
|
||||
|
||||
Outbound: Agent response
|
||||
→ ChannelBase
|
||||
→ sendMessage() → platform
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Everything between `handleInbound()` and `sendMessage()` is handled by the base class — your adapter only deals with platform I/O.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

||||
### Classes
|
||||
|

```typescript
|
||||
constructor(name: string, config: ChannelConfig, bridge: AcpBridge, options?: ChannelBaseOptions)
|
||||
```
|

|
||||
**Abstract methods** (you must implement):
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Signature |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### AcpBridge
|
||||
|
||||
Manages the `qwen-code --acp` child process and ACP sessions.

|
||||
### SessionRouter
|
||||
|
||||
Maps senders to ACP sessions based on the configured scope.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
constructor(bridge: AcpBridge, defaultCwd: string, scope?: SessionScope, persistPath?: string)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Routing keys by scope:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Key format | Effect |
|
||||
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `user` (default) | `channel:senderId:chatId` | Each user gets their own session per chat |
|
||||
| `thread` | `channel:threadId` | One session per thread |
|
||||
| `single` | `channel:__single__` | One shared session for the entire channel |

| `restoreSessions()` | Reload sessions from disk after bridge restart |
|
||||
| `clearAll()` | Clear all sessions and delete persist file (clean shutdown) |
|
||||
|
||||
### SenderGate
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
constructor(policy: SenderPolicy, allowedUsers?: string[], pairingStore?: PairingStore)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Description |
|
||||
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `check(senderId, senderName?)` | Returns `{ allowed: boolean, pairingCode?: string \| null }` |
|
||||
|

|
||||
| Policy | Behavior |
|
||||
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `open` | Everyone allowed |
|
||||
| `allowlist` | Only `allowedUsers` allowed |
|
||||
| `pairing` | Check allowlist, then approved pairings, then generate a pairing code (8-char, 1hr expiry, max 3 pending) |
|
||||
|
||||
### GroupGate
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
constructor(policy?: GroupPolicy, groups?: Record<string, GroupConfig>)

|
||||
| Policy | Behavior |
|
||||
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `disabled` | All group messages rejected |
|
||||
| `allowlist` | Only groups listed in config are allowed |
|
||||
| `open` | All groups allowed |
|
||||
|
||||
When `requireMention` is `true` (default), group messages are only processed if the bot is @mentioned or the message is a reply to the bot.
|
||||
|
||||
### PairingStore
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
constructor(channelName: string)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Persists pairing state to `~/.qwen/channels/{channelName}-pairing.json` and `{channelName}-allowlist.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Description |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `createRequest(senderId, senderName)` | Generate an 8-char pairing code (or return existing). Returns `null` if 3 pending requests already exist. |
|
||||
| `approve(code)` | Approve a pairing request, adds sender to allowlist. Returns the request or `null`. |
|
||||
| `isApproved(senderId)` | Check if sender is in the approved allowlist |
|
||||
| `listPending()` | Get active (non-expired) pending requests |
|
||||
|
||||
## Envelope
|
||||
|
||||
The normalized message format your adapter must construct:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface Envelope {
|
||||
channelName: string; // your channel instance name
|
||||
senderId: string; // stable, unique sender ID
|
||||
senderName: string; // display name
|
||||
chatId: string; // distinguishes DMs from groups
|
||||
text: string; // message text (@mentions stripped)
|
||||
messageId?: string; // platform message ID
|
||||
threadId?: string; // for thread-scoped sessions
|
||||
isGroup: boolean; // true for group chats
|
||||
isMentioned: boolean; // true if bot was @mentioned
|
||||
isReplyToBot: boolean; // true if replying to bot's message
|
||||
referencedText?: string; // quoted message text
|
||||
imageBase64?: string; // base64-encoded image
|
||||
imageMimeType?: string; // e.g. 'image/jpeg'
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
