[Bug] Fix 500 error in /hivechat/response endpoint - Primary key conflict in message creation

[humansinstitute]

Context

The /hivechat/response endpoint is currently returning 500 errors when processing responses from Stakwork. Investigation shows this is due to incorrect message ID handling in the response processing logic.

Current Behavior

• The endpoint reuses the original message ID (the message being responded to) as the ID for the new assistant message
• This causes a primary key conflict in the database since the ID already exists
• Results in 500 Internal Server Error responses

Required Changes

1. Modify the ProcessChatResponse handler in handlers/chat.go:

• Generate a new unique ID for each assistant message using xid.New().String()
• Keep the original messageId in the request structure for reference only
• Ensure new messages are created with proper assistant/agent attributes

message := &db.ChatMessage{
    ID:        xid.New().String(),  // Generate new ID here
    ChatID:    request.ChatID,
    Message:   request.Response,
    Role:      "assistant",
    Timestamp: time.Now(),
    Status:    "sent",
    Source:    "agent",
}

Testing

1. Verify successful message creation with unique IDs
2. Confirm chat history maintains proper conversation flow
3. Check WebSocket notifications still work correctly
4. Test with multiple rapid responses to ensure no race conditions

Related Code

• Primary handler: handlers/chat.go
• Affected endpoint: /hivechat/response
• Database model: ChatMessage struct

Additional Context
The messageId from Stakwork's response should be treated as a reference to the original message being responded to, not as the ID for the new message.

• When receiving a response from Stakwork, the system generates a new unique message ID instead of reusing the original messageId
• New assistant messages are correctly stored in the database with role="assistant" and source="agent"
• The chat history shows a clear conversation flow between user messages and assistant responses
• WebSocket notifications are successfully sent to the client with the newly created message details
• The system handles concurrent responses without creating duplicate messages or database conflicts

@MahtabBukhari -> Testing this morning, this isn't correctly processing the Chat ID as far as I can tell from Stakwork.

If we consider this screenshot of the look test, we can see that the chatId is returned as part of the 200 response.

The messages aren't shown in the interface or returned from a Get Messages by Chat ID call (see network tab).

So my guess is that when these are processed we're not correctly setting the messages with the chat ID. Otherwise they would be returned on a page refresh (even if the websocket failed).

Then when we check the stakwork output we see that we got a 200 message resposne, but that it doesn't include the chatId in the response.

@humansinstitute let me check that one too
yes above screenshot is tested

[humansinstitute]

Perhaps
ChatID: request.ChatID,

should be:
ChatID: request.chatId,

Given the return object?

issue is something else but let me check

Let's refine the explanation with that context in mind:\n\nWhen you send a message or request in a system with a TypeScript frontend and a Go backend, the following process typically occurs:\n\n1. **Frontend (TypeScript) Interaction**:\n   - You interact with the frontend application, which is likely a web application built with TypeScript. This could involve filling out a form or clicking a button to send a message.\n\n2. **HTTP Request**:\n   - The frontend uses HTTP (or WebSockets, if it's a real-time application) to send the data to the backend server. The data is often formatted as JSON.\n\n3. **Backend (Go) Processing**:\n   - The Go backend receives the HTTP request. The server, built with Go, processes the incoming request using a web framework or HTTP library. It will parse the JSON payload and perform any necessary logic, such as validating the data, storing it in a database, or triggering other business processes.\n\n4. **Response**:\n   - After processing the request, the Go backend typically sends a response back to the TypeScript frontend. This response could include a success message, error information, or data requested by the frontend.\n\n5. **Frontend Handling**:\n   - The TypeScript frontend receives the response and updates the UI accordingly.
