Description

/apps/meteor/app/lib/server/functions/insertMessage.ts is used by MessageConverter.ts (/apps/meteor/app/importer/server/classes/converters/MessageConverter.ts) in importing messages, but it does so via importing it directly rather than through importing the Message object from core-services. It is not added IMessageService.ts (packages/core-services/src/types/IMessageService.ts) or the class service.ts.

Research direction

Start by reading apps/meteor/app/lib/server/functions/insertMessage.ts and its use in apps/meteor/app/importer/server/classes/converters/MessageConverter.ts. Then inspect packages/core-services/src/types/IMessageService.ts and the service.ts class to understand the existing Message service entry points. Done means the importer uses the Message service rather than directly importing insertMessage, with the function represented in the interface and service class.
