Summary

  • accept durable mobile attachment sends as one bounded multipart request
  • enforce a 3 MiB aggregate attachment limit with clear Gmail/Outlook guidance for larger files
  • preserve mutation idempotency, retries, and the existing JSON send contracts
  • require no object storage, staging service, new database tables, or vendor-specific configuration

Security and durability

  • attachment metadata and actual file bytes are both validated before provider delivery
  • count, order, filename, size, MIME type, inline disposition, content ID, and image signatures are checked
  • provider creation happens only after multipart validation and owner-scoped account lookup
  • oversized request streams are bounded and cancelled
  • attachment bytes are held only for the send request and are not persisted by Inbox Zero

Compatibility

  • legacy JSON and durable JSON sends are unchanged
  • the shared web editor keeps its existing 15 MiB attachment limits
  • this mobile multipart contract uses a 3 MiB raw-byte cap to stay safely below hosted request limits
  • self-hosted deployments work without any storage dependency

Validation

  • focused route and durability suite: 44 tests passed
  • full backend suite: 5,876 passed / 766 skipped
  • full lint: 2,814 files clean
  • diff checks and targeted formatting passed

Deployment

Deploy this backend change before merging and releasing the corresponding mobile attachment update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for sending messages with multipart attachments.
    • Attachment metadata and media types are handled consistently, including case variations.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation for invalid attachments and oversized requests.
    • Added a 3 MB cumulative limit for direct attachments and clearer size-limit messaging.
    • Oversized request bodies are now cancelled even when their total size is not declared upfront.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The send route now processes multipart attachments directly, uses lazy account-scoped provider resolution, removes staged JSON routing, and enforces cumulative attachment limits. Tests cover multipart assembly, metadata validation, request limits, and cancellation of oversized bodies.

Changes

Multipart durable send

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multipart validation contracts
apps/web/utils/email/durable-email-send.validation.ts
Multipart validation adds a 3 MiB cumulative attachment limit. The 5 MiB payload limit remains. Staged-send schemas and helpers are removed.
Send route provider and limit flow
apps/web/app/api/messages/send/route.ts
The route resolves provider context lazily for each send mode. Staged JSON routing is removed. Multipart sends enforce the cumulative direct-attachment limit.
Multipart assembly and rejection coverage
apps/web/app/api/messages/send/route.test.ts
Tests cover account-scoped provider setup, multipart assembly, metadata preservation, media types, validation failures, attachment limits, request limits, and body cancellation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4eea

Mobile attachment sends can remain permanently marked as uncertain if delivery succeeds but the final status update fails, leaving users unable to tell whether the email and its attachments were delivered. An explicit reconciliation owner or accepted recovery plan is needed before merge.

Centralize the stale-lease release logic.

The same pre-provider/post-provider lease rules now exist in three places: executeDurableEmailSend, reserveStageRows, and cleanupEmailAttachmentStages. The three copies must agree, or a stale claim is released in one path and marked UNCERTAIN in another. Extract one helper that takes the operation row and staleBefore and returns the resolved status.

Extract the shared attachment-list refinement.

The same superRefine body appears twice. If validateEmailAttachmentMetadata gains new inputs or the error mapping changes, the two copies can drift. Extract one helper and apply it to both arrays.

♻️ Proposed refactor
+const refineAttachmentMetadataList = (
+  attachments: EmailAttachmentMetadata[],
+  context: z.RefinementCtx,
+) => {
+  const validation = validateEmailAttachmentMetadata(attachments);
+  if (validation.valid) return;
+  context.addIssue({ code: "custom", message: validation.error });
+};
+
 export const durableAttachmentMetadataList = z
   .array(durableAttachmentMetadata)
-  .superRefine((attachments, context) => {
-    const validation = validateEmailAttachmentMetadata(
-      attachments satisfies EmailAttachmentMetadata[],
-    );
-    if (validation.valid) return;
-    context.addIssue({
-      code: "custom",
-      message: validation.error,
-    });
-  });
+  .superRefine(refineAttachmentMetadataList);

Apply the same helper to the staged attachments array.

Derive the completion cap from the shared attachment limit.

The literal 10 duplicates EMAIL_ATTACHMENT_LIMITS.maxFiles used by validateEmailAttachmentMetadata. If that limit changes, staging accepts more attachments than completion allows, and a valid staged send fails at completion. Import the constant instead.

Inline comments:
In `@apps/web/app/api/cron/email-send-operation-retention/route.ts`:
- Around line 43-49: Update the cron handler around cleanupEmailAttachmentStages
so attachment cleanup errors are caught and logged through request.logger, then
continue executing deleteExpiredEmailSendOperations. Preserve the response shape
and report the attachment result consistently when cleanup succeeds or fails.

In `@apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/stage/route.test.ts`:
- Line 25: Replace the local MockedRequest aliases with the maintained
middleware request type or shared test helper in
apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/stage/route.test.ts:25-25 and
apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/complete/route.test.ts:29-29,
preserving the authenticated emailAccountId contract.

In `@apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/stage/route.ts`:
- Around line 10-30: Refactor the POST handlers in
apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/stage/route.ts lines 10-30 and
apps/web/app/api/messages/send-attachments/complete/route.ts lines 11-34 to
extract their response-producing logic into exported getData functions, then
export each route’s response type as Awaited<ReturnType<typeof getData>>.
Preserve the existing status handling and response behavior in both routes.

In `@apps/web/app/api/messages/send/route.ts`:
- Around line 229-237: Update the error handler in the bounded stream underlying
the request body to cancel the source reader with the caught error before
propagating it via controller.error; replace the release-only behavior in the
stream’s pull handler while preserving normal enqueue behavior.

In `@apps/web/env.ts`:
- Around line 56-58: Add VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN to the environment variable examples
alongside BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN and BLOB_STORE_ID, matching the optional
non-empty string declaration in the env schema and turbo.json.

In
`@apps/web/prisma/migrations/20260826223000_add_email_send_attachment_stages/migration.sql`:
- Around line 36-37: The unique constraint name for EmailSendAttachmentStage
exceeds PostgreSQL’s 63-byte identifier limit. Add a short map value to the
model’s @@unique declaration and rename the migration’s CREATE UNIQUE INDEX
identifier to exactly the same mapped name.

In `@apps/web/utils/email/email-attachment-staging.ts`:
- Around line 156-159: Refactor reserveStageRows to remove the interactive
prisma.$transaction(async database => ...) usage. Implement the reservation with
conditional writes and the existing unique constraints on emailAccountId,
mutationId, and attachmentId, preserving the current P2002/P2034 retry behavior;
alternatively, replace the serializable block with an allowed raw SQL statement.
- Around line 797-828: Update readExactBlobBytes to cancel the reader’s
underlying stream before throwing when received exceeds expectedSize or when the
final byte-count check fails, while preserving reader lock release and existing
validation errors.
- Around line 59-70: Update blobCommandOptions to stop passing the
module-initialized env.VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN as oidcToken; let `@vercel/blob` resolve
and refresh the current VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN from the environment automatically,
while preserving the existing staging mode behavior in
getEmailAttachmentDeliveryMode.
