Chat SDK adds Photon support
Short summary
Vercel's Chat SDK now supports Photon via a new .vendor-official adapter, enabling developers to build bots that send and receive iMessages including group chats, media sharing, and native tapbacks. Each Photon conversation maps to a Chat SDK thread with reactions, handlers, and subscriptions working like any other adapter. Bots can run against Spectrum Cloud, a self-hosted server, or directly on a Mac, with HMAC-verified webhooks allowing replies without a live connection.
