* feat(drive): pre-flight per-text-element byte limit for +add-comment
The open-platform comment API returns an opaque [1069302] Invalid or
missing parameters whenever a single reply_elements[i] text exceeds
its implicit byte budget. The error does not name which element failed
or that length is the cause, so callers resort to binary-search
debugging.
Empirically: Chinese text up to ~80 chars (~240 bytes) lands; ~130
chars (~390 bytes) fails. Set the pre-flight limit to 300 bytes which
sits safely inside the known-good zone.
- parseCommentReplyElements now rejects any text element whose UTF-8
byte length exceeds 300, with an ExitError naming the element index
(#N, 1-based) and both the rune and byte counts, plus an ErrWithHint
recommending the correct remediation (split into multiple text
elements — the comment UI renders them as one contiguous comment).
- The previous 1000-rune check is removed: it was too lenient (a
Chinese text under that cap would still fail server-side).
- skills/lark-drive/references/lark-drive-add-comment.md documents
the per-element limit and the correct split pattern so agents
avoid constructing oversized single elements upstream.
Addresses Case 12 in the 踩坑列表 doc.
* fix(drive): correct +add-comment hint to match actual escape coverage
`escapeCommentText` only expands `<` and `>` (each → 4 bytes via
`<` / `>`); `&` is intentionally left as-is. Both the over-limit
hint and the inline comment in `parseCommentReplyElements` previously
claimed `&` was also escaped, with a "4-5 bytes each" range that
implicitly assumed `&` (5 bytes) — a string of 300 `&` chars
would actually fit in the budget, but a user reading the hint would
think otherwise and pre-emptively split it.
Code:
- Hint string ends with `Note: '<' and '>' are HTML-escaped and
counted in their escaped form (4 bytes each).` (was: included `&`
and "4-5 bytes")
- Inline comment above the budget check now matches:
`escapeCommentText only expands '<' and '>' (each becomes 4 bytes:
< / >); '&' is intentionally left as-is.`
Tests (regression):
- New `300 ampersands accepted (escapeCommentText leaves '&' as-is)`
subtest pins that 300 `&` chars stay within budget. Without the fix
this also passed (function was always correct), but the hint was
lying — the test pins the budget contract loud and clear.
- New `TestParseCommentReplyElementsHintMatchesEscape` asserts the
hint string itself: must mention `'<' and '>'` / `4 bytes`, must NOT
mention `'&'` / `&` / `4-5 bytes`. Catches a future drift if
`escapeCommentText` is changed without updating the hint, or
vice-versa.
The skill md (`skills/lark-drive/references/lark-drive-add-comment.md`)
already had the right wording (`每个 < 或 > 占 4 字节`), so it was the
in-Go strings that drifted; this commit aligns code with doc.
* fix(drive): rewrite +add-comment length cap to match real server behavior
The original PR set a 300-byte per-element pre-flight check, justified
by the empirical pattern "~80 Chinese chars succeeds, ~130 fails". A
fresh round of probing the live `/open-apis/drive/v1/files/{token}/
new_comments` endpoint with a real docx shows that pattern does not
reproduce, and the actual contract is very different:
- 10000 ASCII / 10000 Chinese / 10000 '<' (escaped to 40000 bytes)
in a single text element: all OK
- 10001 of any of the above in a single text element: [1069302]
- 5000 + 5000 across two text elements (total 10000): OK
- 5000 + 5001 across two text elements (total 10001): [1069302]
- 4000 + 4000 + 4000 across three (total 12000): [1069302]
Two consequences:
1. The cap is *10000 runes total across all reply_elements text*, not
300 bytes per element. The old check rejected legitimate input
anywhere from ~100 to 10000 Chinese chars (≈100x too aggressive).
2. The hint that recommended "split the content across multiple
{\"type\":\"text\",\"text\":\"...\"} elements" was actively wrong —
splitting doesn't bypass a total cap. A user told to split a
10001-char message into 5000+5001 hits the same opaque [1069302].
This commit:
- Replaces `maxCommentTextElementBytes = 300` with
`maxCommentTotalRunes = 10000`. The constant's doc comment records
the probe matrix above so future maintainers know how it was
derived.
- Switches the measurement from `len(escapeCommentText(input.Text))`
to `utf8.RuneCountInString(input.Text)`. Server counts raw runes;
byte width and post-escape form are irrelevant. The escape itself
still happens — `<` and `>` still get rendered literally — but it
no longer participates in the length check.
- Tracks a running `totalRunes` across the whole reply_elements array
and bails at the first element that pushes the cumulative total
over the 10000-rune budget, with index reporting that points at the
offending element.
- Rewrites the over-cap hint to (a) name the actual 10000-rune budget,
(b) explicitly say splitting does NOT help, (c) drop the wrong
"comment UI still renders them as one contiguous comment" framing
that implied splitting was a workaround.
- Adds a `TestParseCommentReplyElementsHintForbidsSplitAdvice`
watchdog that fails if any future drift puts the discredited split
advice back into the hint.
Tests: 11 cases on TestParseCommentReplyElementsTextLength covering
single-element boundary (ASCII / Chinese / angle brackets at exactly
10000 and at 10001), multi-element total cap (5000+5000 OK, 5000+5001
rejected with index pointing at element #2), early-element-overshoot
indexing (first element at 10001 reports index #1, not the trailing
element), and mention_user not double-counting toward the cap.
Skill md updated: removes the 300-byte / "split into multiple
elements" advice; documents the 10000-rune total cap with a note that
the schema currently advertises 1-1000 chars and is out of date,
plus a procedure for re-probing if the server-side limit ever moves.
Manual API verification: rebuilt binary and posted comments at
boundary lengths — all OK cases (100 / 5000 / 10000 chars, 5000+5000
split) accepted by server; over-cap cases (10001 / 10100 single, and
5000+5001 split) rejected by the new pre-flight before reaching the
network.

Security & Risk Warnings (Read Before Use)
This tool can be invoked by AI Agents to automate operations on the Lark/Feishu Open Platform, and carries inherent risks such as model hallucinations, unpredictable execution, and prompt injection. After you authorize Lark/Feishu permissions, the AI Agent will act under your user identity within the authorized scope, which may lead to high-risk consequences such as leakage of sensitive data or unauthorized operations. Please use with caution.
To reduce these risks, the tool enables default security protections at multiple layers. However, these risks still exist. We strongly recommend that you do not proactively modify any default security settings; once relevant restrictions are relaxed, the risks will increase significantly, and you will bear the consequences.
We recommend using the Lark/Feishu bot integrated with this tool as a private conversational assistant. Do not add it to group chats or allow other users to interact with it, to avoid abuse of permissions or data leakage.
Please fully understand all usage risks. By using this tool, you are deemed to voluntarily assume all related responsibilities.
