Do not merge before the crate has a home. The replacement repository has to exist first, or this deletes 12k lines with nowhere to point at.

Why

The chat store materializes the event stream into chats, previews, unread counts, thread ordering and a full-text index. Those are application decisions, not protocol ones, and this repository implements the protocol.

Why it is clean to remove

Nothing about the crate required living here. It consumed only the public surface any third-party embedder has:

  • wacore::types::events (Event, ServerAck, Receipt, LazyHistorySync), wacore_binary::Jid, wacore::proto_helpers, wacore::time
  • exactly one item from whatsapp-rust-sqlite-storage (SqliteStore), for the connection
  • no dependency on the whatsapp-rust crate at all

It owned its own schema and migrations rather than sharing the device store's, and it was never published to crates.io (publish = false), so no released API changes.

What this costs

Its ~6.3k lines of tests were the strongest integration exercise of the event bus in this repo, and they ran in the same PR that broke an event. After this they run against a pinned revision, so an event change lands green here and surfaces at the consumer's next bump. Worth stating plainly rather than discovering later.

References removed

Workspace member, the MSRV check's package list in main.yml, the lockfile entry, and the bundled-SQLite comment in .cargo/config.toml. FTS5 stays enabled there: nothing here indexes on it now, but that file is not inherited by consumers, so keeping it on is what proves the subsystem still compiles for embedders who want it.

Verification

cargo fmt --check clean, cargo check --workspace clean, 4993 tests pass (e2e excluded — they need the mock server). No chat-store / ChatStore references remain anywhere in the tree.

The chat store materializes the event stream into chats, previews, unread
counts, ordering and a search index. Those are application decisions, not
protocol ones, and this repository implements the protocol.

Nothing about the crate needed to live here: it consumed only the public
surface — `Event`, `Jid`, `proto_helpers`, `time`, and one `SqliteStore` — and
owned its schema and migrations outright. It was never published, so no
released API changes.

The bundled-SQLite trim keeps FTS5 despite nothing here indexing on it now.
This config is not inherited by consumers, so leaving it on is what keeps
proving the subsystem compiles for embedders that want it.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes
    • Removed the chat storage component and its associated chat history, message, contact, media, receipt, reaction, and full-text search capabilities.
    • Existing integrations that depend on these features must migrate to the replacement storage solution.
  • Build and Maintenance
    • Updated workspace and compatibility checks to reflect the removed component.
    • Clarified SQLite feature documentation without changing build behavior.

Walkthrough

The PR removes the whatsapp-rust-chat-store crate, including its migrations, schema, storage logic, search support, and public API. Workspace and CI references are removed. SQLite configuration comments are updated without changing build flags.

Changes

Chat-store removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Delete chat-store implementation and database artifacts
storages/chat-store/*
The chat-store manifest, crate modules, public types, search implementation, Diesel schema, migrations, and storage logic are deleted.
Remove workspace and CI integration
Cargo.toml, .github/workflows/main.yml, storages/chat-store/src/lib.rs, storages/chat-store/src/error.rs
The crate is removed from workspace membership and stable/MSRV checks. Its crate root and error API are deleted.
Clarify SQLite feature comments
.cargo/config.toml
Comments now describe FTS5 retention, shared-cache behavior, and unused functionality. SQLite build flags remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bc2ca

This change removes the in-repository chat-store implementation and tests; without the replacement repository already created and linked, the extracted crate lacks a stable destination and the PR is not merge-ready. Merge should wait until that repository exists and the handoff is established.

Greptile Summary

This PR removes the unpublished chat-store implementation from the workspace so it can live in a separate repository.

  • Deletes the chat-store crate, migrations, implementation, and integration tests.
  • Removes the crate from workspace metadata, the lockfile, and the MSRV package list.
  • Retains bundled SQLite FTS5 support while updating its configuration rationale.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The repository-side removal appears safe to merge once the explicitly stated external-repository prerequisite is satisfied.

Workspace metadata, CI package selection, and lockfile state were updated consistently, with no remaining tracked build or source references to the removed crate.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
Cargo.toml Removes chat-store from the workspace member list without leaving workspace references behind.
Cargo.lock Removes only the obsolete whatsapp-rust-chat-store package entry and its dependency edges.
.github/workflows/main.yml Removes the deleted package from the hardcoded MSRV check while retaining checks for all remaining published crates.
.cargo/config.toml Updates the bundled SQLite feature rationale while preserving the existing build flags.
storages/chat-store/Cargo.toml Deletes the unpublished crate manifest as part of extracting the entire subsystem.
storages/chat-store/src/store.rs Deletes the chat-store materializer and writer implementation with the rest of the extracted crate.
storages/chat-store/tests/chat_store_test.rs Deletes the chat-store integration suite; the PR explicitly documents that these tests will move to the consumer repository.
