"Note to self" messages are silently filtered in daemon mode (JSON-RPC) #1930

Description

When running signal-cli in daemon mode with the --http JSON-RPC interface, "Note to self" messages (messages sent to yourself via the Signal app) are silently dropped and never surfaced through the JSON-RPC interface.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run signal-cli in daemon mode: signal-cli daemon --http=0.0.0.0:6001
  2. Send a "Note to self" message from the Signal mobile app (or Signal Desktop)
  3. Monitor incoming messages via the JSON-RPC API (/api/v1/receive or equivalent)

Expected Behavior

"Note to self" messages should be received and emitted through the JSON-RPC interface like any other incoming message.

Actual Behavior

"Note to self" messages are silently filtered/dropped. No message event is emitted, no error is returned — the messages simply never appear.

Environment

  • signal-cli version: latest (via registry.gitlab.com/packaging/signal-cli/signal-cli-native:latest)
  • Mode: daemon with --http
  • Platform: Linux (container on Kubernetes/k3s)
