* Add --no-push flag to send command
Expose the server's `urgent` parameter so callers can skip sending a
push notification (FCM/APNs) to the recipient. The message is still
delivered in real-time over WebSocket if the recipient's app is active.
The flag is added to the Message record (following the same pattern as
viewOnce) and threaded through ManagerImpl and SendHelper, keeping the
Manager interface unchanged.
* Rename --no-push flag to --no-urgent
Align with the protocol naming as suggested by the maintainer.
The flag controls the 'urgent' parameter on the server request.
Implement two new CLI flags to disable downloading avatars and sticker
packs during message reception, following the existing pattern of
--ignore-attachments and --ignore-stories flags.
Changes:
- Add --ignore-avatars and --ignore-stickers flags to ReceiveCommand,
DaemonCommand, and JsonRpcDispatcherCommand
- Extend ReceiveConfig record with ignoreAvatars and ignoreStickers
fields
- Pass ignoreAvatars as explicit boolean parameter to ProfileHelper,
SyncHelper, and GroupHelper methods (per maintainer feedback)
- Gate avatar downloads in ProfileHelper (profile avatars), SyncHelper
(contact avatars), and GroupHelper (group avatars for V1 and V2)
- Gate sticker pack downloads in IncomingMessageHandler for both
direct sticker messages and sync sticker pack operations
- Update handleSignalServiceDataMessage and handleSyncMessage to pass
full ReceiveConfig instead of individual boolean flags
- Update man page (signal-cli.1.adoc) with flag documentation
- Add entries to CHANGELOG.md
When these flags are set, the respective content is not downloaded
during message reception. Metadata (avatar paths, sticker pack IDs)
is still stored, and existing FileNotFoundException handling will
surface if content is later requested but wasn't downloaded.
Fixes#1903Closes#1904
Currently, the error looks like "UserAlreadyExistsException null", which does not give enough information to handle this situation in the multi-account daemon mode.
This change adds a phone number to the error message resolving my issue and achieving functional parity with CLI interface.
