feat: enable chat events on coordinator WebSocket#237
Open
Conversation
The coordinator WS now subscribes to both video and chat products, allowing chat events (message.new, reactions, typing, etc.) to arrive on the same connection as video call events. No second WS needed. - Add "chat" to products in StreamAPIWS auth payload - Add watch_channels() in connection_utils (same pattern as watch_call) - ConnectionManager subscribes to messaging channel after watch_call - Expose coordinator_ws property for event listener registration

Chat event subscription needs discussion with the team -- JS SDK uses two separate WS connections for chat and video, and mixing them on one connection may affect MAU billing. Keep coordinator_ws property for custom events which already work via watch_call.

- Around line 623-632: The property coordinator_ws should honor "Returns None if
not connected" by returning the websocket client only when it is actually
connected; update coordinator_ws to check _coordinator_ws_client's connection
state (e.g., _coordinator_ws_client.connected or
_coordinator_ws_client.is_connected) and/or ensure the coordinator helper/task
(e.g., _coordinator_task) is still running, and return None otherwise; use
getattr checks to avoid attribute errors so callers never receive a
non-connected client from coordinator_ws.

Return Optional[StreamAPIWS] and check _connected before returning, so callers get None instead of a disconnected client.

…r_ws
Verifies the full pub/sub cycle: send a custom event via REST
(call.send_call_event), receive it on ConnectionManager.coordinator_ws
through ws.on("custom") listener. Uses asyncio.Event for reliable
timing instead of fixed sleep.

- Around line 28-33: The teardown currently swallows all errors in the
try/except around async_client.delete_users (the block calling await
async_client.delete_users(user_ids=[user_id], user="hard", conversations="hard",
messages="hard")), which hides failures; change the except to either log the
exception (e.g., with logger.exception or print) or re-raise/assert so CI fails
— locate the try/except around delete_users in
tests/rtc/coordinator/test_custom_events.py and replace the bare "except
Exception: pass" with an exception handler that records the error details and/or
raises the exception to surface teardown failures.

Why
The coordinator WebSocket is connected and receiving events, but there's no public way to register listeners on it from outside
ConnectionManager. This blocks use cases like forwarding call events (turn detection, custom events) to external systems.Changes
