fix(matrix): @mention detection, sync reliability, and duplicate code cleanup

[eldelosdatos]

Summary

• Fix @mention detection for Element/Matrix clients — Element sends mentions as HTML pills in formatted_body and via m.mentions.user_ids[], not in plain text body. The adapter only checked body, making group_policy=mention_only (default) silently drop all messages in group rooms.
• Add HTTP client timeout to prevent sync hangs — reqwest::Client::new() has no timeout. If the homeserver drops TCP silently, /sync hangs forever, killing message reception permanently.
• Remove duplicate mention/DM detection code — FIX not able to run openfang in ubuntu 22.04 #2 and FIX Invalid request for kimi #3 blocks were duplicated, overwriting metadata on the second pass.
• Add heartbeat_interval_secs=300 to assistant agent — Default 30s creates 60s timeout, causing idle agents to crash-loop every 90s.
• Add comprehensive observability logging — Structured logs at every decision point in sync loop, bridge dispatch, and agent routing.
• Add 9 integration tests with wiremock for Matrix adapter.

Problem Details

@mention detection (critical)

// Before: only checks plain text body
if content.contains(&user_id) { ... }

// After: checks body + HTML + m.mentions spec
let mentioned_in_body = content.contains(&user_id);
let mentioned_in_html = event["content"]["formatted_body"]
    .as_str().map(|html| html.contains(&user_id)).unwrap_or(false);
let mentioned_in_m_mentions = event["content"]["m.mentions"]["user_ids"]
    .as_array().map(|ids| ids.iter().any(|id| id.as_str() == Some(&user_id)))
    .unwrap_or(false);

Element sends:

• body: hola (no MXID)
• formatted_body: <a href="https://matrix.to/#/@bot:server">Bot</a> hola
• m.mentions.user_ids: ["@bot:server"]

HTTP timeout

// Before: no timeout — hangs forever on dropped connections
client: reqwest::Client::new(),

// After: 90s total, 30s connect
client: reqwest::Client::builder()
    .timeout(Duration::from_secs(90))
    .connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
    .build()

Duplicate code

The FIX #2 (mention detection) and FIX #3 (DM detection) blocks were copy-pasted twice in the sync loop. The second copy overwrites metadata from the first, losing the DM detection results.

Test Plan

• cargo check -p openfang-channels — compiles cleanly
• cargo test -p openfang-channels — 12/12 tests pass (9 new + 3 existing)
• Tested on Railway with Synapse homeserver + Element client
• Verified Element @mentions detected via formatted_body and m.mentions
• Verified sync recovery after connection drops
• Verified group_policy=mention_only works correctly with Element pills

Thanks for the matrix reliability work @eldelosdatos — the sync retry + @mention detection improvements look solid.

Ship-blocker in the current head: agents/assistant/agent.toml around line 144 has two keys concatenated on one line without a newline separator:

toml [autonomous] heartbeat_interval_secs = 300max_iterations = 100

This is invalid TOML and will break every deployment that uses the bundled assistant agent. Please change it to:

toml [autonomous] heartbeat_interval_secs = 300 max_iterations = 100

Rebase on latest main (post-#1041) at the same time so CI runs. Happy to merge once that's fixed and green.

[jaberjaber23]

The three matrix.rs fixes themselves are real and correct. Bug verified, mention detection covers all three Element sources (body, formatted_body, m.mentions), HTTP client timeout is sound, and the duplicate FIX #2 / FIX #3 blocks really did shadow metadata. Tests are solid.

Blocking issues:

1. agents/assistant/agent.toml is broken TOML. The diff inserts heartbeat_interval_secs on the same line as max_iterations with no newline:

heartbeat_interval_secs = 300max_iterations = 100

This will fail to deserialize at boot and break the assistant agent. Fix: put each key on its own line.

2. The agent.toml change is also out of scope for a PR titled fix(matrix). Drop it from this PR or move it to a separate PR with its own justification (heartbeat tuning is unrelated to matrix mention detection).

3. The bridge.rs logging additions are out of scope too. They are useful but they do not belong in a matrix-only fix. Either rename the PR to cover bridge observability or split them out.

Once the TOML is unbroken and the unrelated changes are split, the matrix fixes are good to merge.
