Part of #417 (owner decision 2026-10-19 17:21: show an Auto-sent marker on messages a Bot sent through per-pair Auto-send from #433).

Risk tier: T3 (touches plugins/social/src/social.js and the host hook seam core/src/host/hooks.js).

What it looks like

A Bot reply that left without a card because Auto-send is on for that pair now shows a plain (normal, non-dashed) bubble with a quiet meta line under it:

Auto-sent to SelfB1238 (zh: 已自动发给 SelfB1238)

Same place and style as #430's Sent to … / Not sent lines, no buttons. The wait badge and sidebar preview treat it as sent.

How

• social.js: when the hold is skipped only because approvalFor(from, home) === 'auto', the middleware returns { action: 'allow', autoSent: true, recipient }.
• hooks.js: an allow with autoSent on an auto-reply that carries meta.replyIn is recorded by turn in state.flybot.autoSent (id, by, botId, sessionId, turn, to, recipientName, at; last 200; no message text). rt.heldRepliesOf lists these as status: 'auto', so Held reply to a friend: held in place, decision on the bubble, Sent / Not sent after (#418) #430's channel view (heldReplies) carries them unchanged. pendingCount only counts pending.
• Client: held-reply.js draws the Auto-sent to {to} note; text.js unsentReplyTurns treats auto as sent; i18n string added.
• flybot.d.ts, docs (social, core-host, plugin-runtime, core-client), changelog fragment.

Only per pair, only replies on a tagged turn; a plain request or a home without Auto-send is not marked. autoSent confers nothing, it is display only.

Overlap

Does not touch channel.js / authz.js / models.js (#434) or index.js / model-menu.js / sidebar.js (#435). Shared files with them are only generated ones (core/client.js, patches) plus docs/i18n in different sections.

Tests

• core/test/held-reply.test.js: auto state renders data-state="auto", Auto-sent to SelfB1238, no buttons; unsentReplyTurns ignores it.
• plugins/social/test/social.test.js: with Auto-send on for a↔@bob.home, a reply is allowed and listed as auto with recipient Bob, pendingCount 0; bot b still holds; a plain request is not marked.

Self-review (Birfy)

Tip SHA: e0962ab
Ran: ARCH_DOCS_BASE=upstream/main TZ=UTC npm run verify (all suites pass, arch-docs OK); node scripts/lint-plugins.mjs social; node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check; node .github/scripts/check-pack.mjs; tsc --noEmit --strict types/*.d.ts; changelog.mjs check; CI all green on this tip.
Not run: manual browser check of the chat bubble; Codex review (not used).

Reviewed the diff:

• autoSent only comes from an allow verdict, and it is only recorded after a successful dispatch of an auto-reply that carries replyIn. A later hold or deny still wins.
• It is display only: it grants no bypass and holds no text, and the list keeps the last 200.
• The client treats auto like approved for the preview and the wait badge. The note matches Held reply to a friend: held in place, decision on the bubble, Sent / Not sent after (#418) #430's Sent / Not sent.
• channel.js, authz.js and models.js are not touched (Add Test connection to Bot settings → Model #434).

Verdict: PASS
