Proposed changes

Part of #39514
This PR ensures that reaction usernames remain consistent when a user changes their username.

Currently, when a username is updated, the change propagates to several user-related fields, but reaction metadata inside messages is not updated. Reactions store usernames directly under:

reactions.<emoji>.usernames

As a result, when a user changes their username, messages containing their past reactions continue to display the old username, causing stale data in the UI.

This PR introduces a migration step during the username update flow. When a username is changed, the system:

1. Finds all messages where the user appears in reactions.usernames

2. Iterates through each reaction entry.

3. Replaces the old username with the new username.

4. Updates the message document with the corrected reactions object.

The migration runs immediately after the username is updated in _setUsername, ensuring reactions stay synchronized before broadcasting the username change event.

Issue(s)

Fixes stale reaction usernames when a user changes their username.

Steps to test or reproduce

1. Start Rocket.Chat locally.

2. Create two users:

  • userA

  • userB

3. Log in as userA and send a message in any channel.

4. React to the message with one or more emojis.

5. Change userA’s username.

6. Observe the reactions on the message.

Before this fix

Reactions still contain the old username.

After this fix

Reactions correctly display the updated username.

Further comments

Reactions store usernames directly in message documents instead of user IDs, which can lead to inconsistencies when usernames change. This PR addresses that gap by updating the reaction metadata during the username update flow.

The implementation:

1. Queries only messages containing the affected username in reactions.usernames.

2. Iterates over the reactions object safely to handle dynamic emoji keys.

3. Preserves any additional reaction metadata using object spreading.

This approach minimizes unnecessary database updates and maintains compatibility with the current reaction schema.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Reactions now update correctly when a user changes their username; any stale reaction usernames are replaced with the new username across existing messages.
    • The username-change flow now automatically migrates past reactions to the updated username, ensuring reaction displays remain consistent after renames and preventing mismatches or display issues.

Walkthrough

Username-change flow now updates message reaction entries: a migration scans Messages for reactions containing the old username and replaces them with the new username; this migration runs during the username-change flow within the updated _setUsername implementation.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Message Reaction Username Migration
apps/meteor/app/lib/server/functions/setUsername.ts
Imported Messages from @rocket.chat/models; added MessageReaction / MessageReactions types; fixed cursor handling in isUserInFederatedRooms; added internal migrateReactionUsernames(oldUsername, newUsername, session) to locate and update reaction entries; updated exported _setUsername signature to include fullUser and updater? and to invoke the migration when a previousUsername exists.
Changelog
.changeset/real-news-drop.md
Added changelog entry for a patch release describing the bugfix for stale reaction usernames when users change their username.

- Around line 123-126: migrateReactionUsernames is being called without the
current ClientSession so Messages.find and Messages.updateOne run outside the
transaction started by _setUsername/Users.setUsername; update
migrateReactionUsernames to accept an optional session parameter and pass that
session through to all Mongo operations (e.g., Messages.find and
Messages.updateOne) when present, then call migrateReactionUsernames(session)
from _setUsername/Users.setUsername; alternatively, remove the in-transaction
reaction updates and defer calling migrateReactionUsernames until after the
outer transaction commits to ensure reaction username changes are not applied if
the user update is rolled back.
- Around line 95-97: The current migration in setUsername.ts reads messages with
an incorrect selector and does a read-modify-write loop that risks races and
misses transaction session; replace it with a single atomic updateMany using an
aggregation pipeline that converts the reactions object to an array via
$objectToArray, maps over each element to replace occurrences of oldUsername in
v.usernames, then reconstructs the object with $arrayToObject so reactions
remain emoji-keyed, and ensure you pass the same Mongo session (the call site
currently omits session) into the update operation so the rename is part of the
caller's transaction; locate the code around Messages.find and the
read-modify-write loop and swap it for an update using a pipeline with
$objectToArray/$map/$filter/$arrayToObject and include the session parameter.

Timestamp: 2026-03-09T18:39:21.178Z
Learning: In apps/meteor/server/methods/addAllUserToRoom.ts, the implementation uses a single cursor pass (Users.find(userFilter).batchSize(100)) that collects both the full user objects (collectedUsers: IUser[]) and their usernames (usernames: string[]) in one iteration. `beforeAddUserToRoom` is then called once with the full usernames batch (preserving batch-validation semantics), and the subsequent subscription/message processing loop iterates over the same stable `collectedUsers` array — no second DB query is made. This avoids any race condition between validation and processing while preserving the original batch-validation behavior.

File: apps/meteor/ee/server/hooks/federation/index.ts:86-88
Timestamp: 2025-11-04T16:49:19.107Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's federation system (apps/meteor/ee/server/hooks/federation/), permission checks follow two distinct patterns: (1) User-initiated federation actions (creating rooms, adding users to federated rooms, joining from invites) should throw MeteorError to inform users they lack 'access-federation' permission. (2) Remote server-initiated federation events should silently skip/ignore when users lack permission. The beforeAddUserToRoom hook only executes for local user-initiated actions, so throwing an error there is correct. Remote federation events are handled separately by the federation Matrix package with silent skipping logic.

180-180: This concern is not applicable—the admin users.update endpoint already uses the canonical username write path.

The users.update API endpoint calls saveUser(), which explicitly routes username changes through saveUserIdentity()_setUsername()migrateReactionUsernames(). There is no direct Users.updateOne() bypass for username updates in the admin endpoint.

each reaction value with an object containing only usernames, dropping fields

reaction value with an updated usernames array instead of rebuilding it—use
$mergeObjects (or equivalent) to combine $$reaction.v with { usernames: <mapped

are preserved.
- Around line 95-97: The Messages.updateMany call in setUsername.ts currently

actually contain the old username (e.g. { "reactions.username": oldUsername } or
a $elemMatch like { reactions: { $elemMatch: { username: oldUsername } } }) so
only affected messages are updated, keeping the existing update pipeline logic
(the same update array) and leaving function names and semantics in
setUsername.ts unchanged.

184-186: Good session-aware invocation

Nice improvement on Line 185: the migration is called with the current session, keeping this write in the same transactional context as username changes.

96-96: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Scope the selector to affected messages only.

Line 96 currently matches every message with reactions, so the migration rewrites many unaffected documents. This increases write load and transaction time unnecessarily.

💡 Proposed fix

+		{
+			$expr: {
+				$in: [
+					oldUsername,
+					{
+						$reduce: {
+							input: {

- Around line 98-133: The MongoDB pipeline in setUsername.ts is missing a
closing brace for the $set stage, which breaks the aggregation structure; fix it
by inserting the appropriate closing brace(s) to terminate the $set object that
sets "reactions" (the block starting with $set: { reactions: { $arrayToObject: {

the $map, $mergeObjects and their inner objects that reference oldUsername and

Timestamp: 2026-03-09T18:39:21.178Z
Learning: In apps/meteor/server/methods/addAllUserToRoom.ts, the implementation uses a single cursor pass (Users.find(userFilter).batchSize(100)) that collects both the full user objects (collectedUsers: IUser[]) and their usernames (usernames: string[]) in one iteration. `beforeAddUserToRoom` is then called once with the full usernames batch (preserving batch-validation semantics), and the subsequent subscription/message processing loop iterates over the same stable `collectedUsers` array — no second DB query is made. This avoids any race condition between validation and processing while preserving the original batch-validation behavior.

189-191: Good call: migration is now session-aware and conditionally executed.

Running the reaction migration only when previousUsername exists and passing session keeps this flow transaction-consistent.

98-106: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Limit the migration to messages that actually contain oldUsername.

At Line 99, the filter { reactions: { $exists: true } } makes every username change process all messages with reactions. This can unnecessarily increase DB load and transaction duration. Also, Line 106 should defensively handle null reactions input.

Proposed adjustment
 	await Messages.updateMany(
-		{ reactions: { $exists: true } },
+		{
+			$expr: {
+				$in: [
+					oldUsername,
+					{
+						$reduce: {

Timestamp: 2026-03-09T18:39:21.178Z
Learning: In apps/meteor/server/methods/addAllUserToRoom.ts, the implementation uses a single cursor pass (Users.find(userFilter).batchSize(100)) that collects both the full user objects (collectedUsers: IUser[]) and their usernames (usernames: string[]) in one iteration. `beforeAddUserToRoom` is then called once with the full usernames batch (preserving batch-validation semantics), and the subsequent subscription/message processing loop iterates over the same stable `collectedUsers` array — no second DB query is made. This avoids any race condition between validation and processing while preserving the original batch-validation behavior.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, usernames (lastMessage.u.username) and display names (lastMessage.u.name) are sanitized/escaped centrally elsewhere in the system, so individual display functions like getMessagePreview do not need to escape these values before interpolating them into strings.

Learning: In `apps/meteor/client/views/room/body/hooks/useHasNewMessages.ts`, the `msg.u._id === uid` early-return in the `streamNewMessage` handler is intentional: the "New messages" indicator is designed to notify about messages from other users only. Self-sent messages — including those sent from a different session/device — are always skipped, by design. Do not flag this as a multi-session regression.

Module augmentations in apps/meteor (e.g., declare module 'rocket.chat/rest-typings') are not visible when compiling packages/ddp-client in isolation, which is why legacy SDK methods that depend on OperationResult types for OpenAPI-migrated endpoints must remain commented out.

File: apps/meteor/ee/server/hooks/federation/index.ts:86-88
Timestamp: 2025-11-04T16:49:19.107Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's federation system (apps/meteor/ee/server/hooks/federation/), permission checks follow two distinct patterns: (1) User-initiated federation actions (creating rooms, adding users to federated rooms, joining from invites) should throw MeteorError to inform users they lack 'access-federation' permission. (2) Remote server-initiated federation events should silently skip/ignore when users lack permission. The beforeAddUserToRoom hook only executes for local user-initiated actions, so throwing an error there is correct. Remote federation events are handled separately by the federation Matrix package with silent skipping logic.

Learning: In RocketChat/Rocket.Chat e2e tests (apps/meteor/tests/e2e/page-objects/fragments/home-content.ts), thread message preview listitems do not have aria-roledescription="message", so lastThreadMessagePreview locator cannot be scoped to messageListItems (which filters for aria-roledescription="message"). It should remain scoped to page.getByRole('listitem') or mainMessageList.getByRole('listitem').

Learning: In the RocketChat/Rocket.Chat OpenAPI migration PRs for endpoints under apps/meteor/app/api/server/v1/rooms.ts, the pattern `ajv.compile<void>({...})` is intentionally used for the 200 response schema even when the endpoint returns `{ success: true }`. This is an established convention across all migrated endpoints (rooms.leave, rooms.favorite, rooms.delete, rooms.muteUser, rooms.unmuteUser). Do not flag this as a type mismatch during reviews of these migration PRs.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat's `rooms.mediaConfirm/:rid/:fileId` endpoint (apps/meteor/app/api/server/v1/rooms.ts), updating `file.name` from `bodyParams.fileName` without updating `file.path` is intentionally safe. The file path is keyed by `_id` (not by filename), so the stored path remains valid regardless of a rename. `file.name` only affects the display name in the message attachment; do not flag this as a path-divergence issue.
