MUCRoomHistory.getMaxMessages() switched on the room's own HistoryStrategy type, which is always 'defaulType' (sic) for rooms that inherit their history settings. This caused the method to always return -1 (unlimited) for such rooms, regardless of the parent's actual configured maximum.

Add HistoryStrategy.resolveEffective() to walk up the parent chain to the strategy whose settings are actually in effect, and use it in getMaxMessages() so the correct type and maxNumber are reported.

MUCRoomHistory.getMaxMessages() switched on the room's own HistoryStrategy type, which is always 'defaulType' (sic) for rooms that inherit their history settings. This caused the method to always return -1 (unlimited) for such rooms, regardless of the parent's actual configured maximum.

Add HistoryStrategy.resolveEffective() to walk up the parent chain to the strategy whose settings are actually in effect, and use it in getMaxMessages() so the correct type and maxNumber are reported.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HistoryStrategy now resolves inherited default strategies by walking its parent chain. addMessage() and isHistoryEnabled() use the resolved strategy. MUCRoomHistory.getMaxMessages() uses the resolved strategy for the history type and maximum message count. The Type enum constant typo was corrected, and copyright headers were updated to include 2026.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 00628

This corrects inherited MUC history resolution, but the public enum rename can disrupt plugin compatibility or existing persisted configuration during upgrades. A compatibility approach should be resolved before merge.

isHistoryEnabled() to use resolveEffective() so nested default strategies
consistently delegate to the concrete ancestor, matching
MUCRoomHistory.getMaxMessages() and ensuring Messages.add() receives a supported
history type. Add a regression test covering two nested default strategies and
verifying messages are stored according to the resolved ancestor strategy.

…in the future

Right now, none of the callers to addMessage or to isHistoryEnabled can have a deep hierarchy of HistoryStrategy. This refactoring uses the new implementation to ensure we can't slip the same class of bug as OF-3364 into the code again in the future.

compatibility alias, and update resolveEffective() so both defaulType and the
current default constant resolve to the default history strategy. Preserve
serialization compatibility and existing compiled-plugin references without
changing other enum behavior.
