Hey there! Love the project :)
I'm getting this error when trying to backfill messages from DMs:

2026-02-15T16:56:08Z DBG Fetching messages for backfill action="initial backfill" before_id=<id-can-provide-if-needed> channel_id=<channel-id> channel_receiver=<channel-id> limit=10000000 room_id=<room-id>
2026-02-15T16:56:09Z ERR Error collecting messages to forward backfill error="json unmarshal: unknown component type: 16" action="initial backfill" channel_id=<channel-id> channel_receiver=<channel-id> limit=10000000 room_id=<room-id>

After that there are no more backfill messages, so the backfill just stops. Could someone point me in the right direction if this is a config issue?
These appear after I've bridge the channels via !discord create-portal
I've not had this issue using a bot account and bridging + backfilling guilds, only in a DM and that same Bridge version did not have this issue when running on x86 (I don't think it's Arch dependent but wanted to include that)
Bridge info:

  • Version: 0.7.5 and latest
  • DB Provider: Postgres
  • Homeserver: Continuwuity
  • System Arch: arm64 and the bridge is running in Docker
