Pull request overview
Adds end-to-end support for Apple Business Chat (“Messages for Business”) interactive balloon payloads by parsing the keyed-archiver JSON shapes in imessage-database and rendering them in both TXT and HTML exporters, covering quick replies, interactive forms, and list pickers (resolves #769, #770).
Changes:
- Introduces
imessage-database::message_types::business_chatwith parsers/classification for quick replies, forms (request/response), and list pickers. - Routes
com.apple.icloud.apps.messages.business.extensionballoons through a newBalloonFormatter::format_businesspath with generic-app fallback for legacy payloads. - Adds TXT/HTML templates, CSS styling, and exporter tests for business message rendering.
