Verify the timestamped webhook signature and release 0.5.0 - #11
verifyTimestampedWebhookSignature({ payload, signatureHeader, signingSecret, toleranceSeconds?, now? }): Promise<boolean> checks one signature header value. It requires t to be digits, rejects a duplicate t, accepts any matching v1, compares in constant time, and rejects a t more than toleranceSeconds (default 300) from now in either direction.
verifyWebhookRequest({ payload, headers, signingSecret, toleranceSeconds?, now?, allowLegacy? }): Promise<boolean> reads the signature header from Node or Fetch headers in any case. It falls back to X-Signature only when the signature header is absent and allowLegacy: true.
verifyWebhookSignature is unchanged and marked @deprecated. The README webhook section now shows only the timestamped signature, with express.raw, the tolerance, the allowLegacy opt-in and idempotencyKey.
Version bump to 0.5.0, so merging publishes it.

Signing in the tests matches api/src/webhook/webhook.service.ts on textbee main
Added timestamped webhook signature verification using X-Textbee-Signature, with configurable timestamp tolerance and support for raw string or byte payloads.
Added request-level verification that reads headers case-insensitively. Legacy X-Signature verification is available only when explicitly enabled and is not used as a fallback if a timestamped signature is present but invalid.
Documentation
Updated webhook guidance and examples to cover timestamped signatures, retries, and idempotency keys. The legacy verification method remains available but is documented as deprecated and without replay protection.
Add verifyTimestampedWebhookSignature for the X-Textbee-Signature header
(t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>) and verifyWebhookRequest, which reads it from
the request headers and rejects timestamps more than 300 seconds from now.
X-Signature is accepted only with allowLegacy: true. verifyWebhookSignature
is unchanged and marked deprecated. Release 0.5.0.

Walkthrough
The package adds timestamped webhook signature verification and request-level header handling. Callers can verify raw string or byte payloads, with a default 300-second timestamp tolerance. Legacy X-Signature verification remains available, but request-level fallback is disabled by default.
Adds timestamp parsing and HMAC verification over the timestamp and raw body. Tests cover timestamp limits, malformed headers, payloads, and signature matches. The README documents the signed input and freshness window.
Request verification and public API src/webhooks.ts, src/index.ts, test/webhooks.test.ts, README.md, package.json
Adds request-level header selection, case-insensitive header lookup, and an opt-in legacy fallback. Exports the new functions and types. Tests and documentation cover request handling. The package version changes to 0.5.0.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6949a
The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: combine case-variant signature headers consistently and guard missing raw bodies in the Express example. These edge cases affect duplicate-header rejection and error responses, not signature authenticity.

Add an acceptance case for a custom tolerance above 300 seconds.
The honors a custom tolerance test checks only rejection, with a 10-second window and an 11-second age. A change that caps the window at 300 seconds would still reject that case, so the suite would pass. An acceptance case with toleranceSeconds: 600 and now: NOW + 301 covers the custom window. It fails under a 300-second cap.

Add an acceptance case to the “honors a custom tolerance” tests for
verifyTimestampedWebhookSignature using toleranceSeconds of 600 and now set to
NOW + 301, and assert that verification resolves to true. Keep the existing
rejection case unchanged.
Add a request-level test for an empty timestamped signature header.
The verifyWebhookRequest tests do not send an empty X-Textbee-Signature with a valid X-Signature and allowLegacy: true. The current !== undefined check at src/webhooks.ts:158 keeps such a request on the timestamped branch, and verifyTimestampedWebhookSignature returns false for an empty header. If that check changes to a truthiness test, an empty header falls through to the X-Signature fallback and the request is accepted. No existing request-level test would fail.

…read body
A plain headers object can carry X-Textbee-Signature twice under different
cases, so all copies are joined before parsing, as array values are. A body
parser that skipped the request leaves undefined or {} as the body, which
now returns false instead of throwing. Adds tests for a tolerance above 300
seconds and for an empty signature header with allowLegacy on.

Summary
textbee now sends a timestamped signature on every webhook delivery:
X-Textbee-Signature: t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<t>.<raw body>")>This adds two helpers:
verifyTimestampedWebhookSignature({ payload, signatureHeader, signingSecret, toleranceSeconds?, now? }): Promise<boolean>checks one signature header value. It requirestto be digits, rejects a duplicatet, accepts any matchingv1, compares in constant time, and rejects atmore thantoleranceSeconds(default 300) from now in either direction.verifyWebhookRequest({ payload, headers, signingSecret, toleranceSeconds?, now?, allowLegacy? }): Promise<boolean>reads the signature header from Node or Fetch headers in any case. It falls back toX-Signatureonly when the signature header is absent andallowLegacy: true.verifyWebhookSignatureis unchanged and marked@deprecated. The README webhook section now shows only the timestamped signature, withexpress.raw, the tolerance, theallowLegacyopt-in andidempotencyKey.Version bump to 0.5.0, so merging publishes it.
