I experienced exactly this behaviour when someone else adds a person to an existing signal group where I am member of. This causes the bridge to create an empty chat with the newly added signal person in the signal group.

I'm facing this issue as well now.

I see this error, too. But it happens only in one of my direct chats. Other signal chats are working.

In the chat with these messages, I cannot write any messages via signal bridge: The Signal app of my contact reports that the message cannot be received (in german: "Zustellungsproblem").

In the signal-bridge log, I find the following log around the time of the first occurance:

That the registration.yaml and config.yaml is read-only mounted is not the reason for this error. But there are Bad Mac messages.

Have you already tried re-linking signal? Just make a new blank data dir and redo the connection 🤔

If yes, bizzare😵

I had the same problem, and re-linking Signal solved it.
