The options argument is stubbed as mock.Anything in all tests so nothing in the suite asserts the two properties the mechanissm depends on. I verified this by deleting them:
- removing
pluginapi.SetAtomic(nil)leavesgo test ./server/green - removing
pluginapi.SetExpiry(notificationDedupTTL)also leaves the suite green.
A matcher can work here:
func isDedupClaimOptions(opts model.PluginKVSetOptions) bool {
return opts.Atomic && opts.OldValue == nil &&
opts.ExpireInSeconds == int64(notificationDedupTTL/time.Second)
}Separately this stub also ignores the key and decides by call count so this test does not verify keying

Same as the stub in TestHandleWebhookDeduplicatesDuplicateDelivery the third argument should be an options matcher rather than mock.Anything otherwise this test passes even with pluginapi.SetAtomic(nil) removed.

Worth confirming scope as this dedups the res.ToUsers DMs but the res.ToChannels loop still calls p.client.Post.CreatePost directly with no claim. The QA notes repro is two webhook entries pointing at the same endpoint so a subscribed channel will still get double posts after this change.
The ticket is DM scoped, so this may be deliberate and If it is meant to be covered here the same claim around the ToChannels post would do it.

Summary
This PR adds a dedup mechanism similar to Jira's to the Gitlab plugin. If a DM with the same contents is sent to the same user in a short span of time, the plugin will prevent the second DM from being sent
Ticket Link
Fixes https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-67925
QA Notes
The easiest way to reproduce this is to create 2 webhook entries that target the same endpoint, this way the same action will cause two requests to be sent to the plugin
Change Impact: 🟡 Medium
Reasoning: The change affects shared webhook deduplication for direct messages and channel posts, plus plugin DM channel error handling. Extensive tests cover concurrent delivery, KV failures, claim expiry, stale-token protection, and delivery failures.
Regression Risk: Incorrect claim handling could suppress valid notifications. KV failures fail open, and compare-and-delete protects newer claims from stale releases.
** QA Recommendation:** Perform targeted manual QA for duplicate and concurrent webhooks, KV failures, DM channel failures, channel-post failures, and normal delivery. Skipping manual QA has a moderate risk of missing integration issues.
