 1. WS/HTTP 发送入口先完成权限校验，并由 topic 内存态分配 `seq_id`。
 2. Kafka 开启时，私聊发送入口直接生产 `im.message.persist`，群聊发送入口直接生产 `im.group.message.persist`，不查库、不落库、不写 DB outbox；客户端在 Kafka 写入成功后拿到已分配的 `seq_id`。
 3. Kafka 关闭时，继续走原同步落库路径，兼容本地和未接 Kafka 环境。

-   - `group` 写入 `im_group_messages`。
 5. 消费侧复用 `im_kafka_consume_log` 做 `event_id + consumer_group` 幂等。
-6. 失败按统一退避重试 3 次，超过上限先投递 `im.dead.letter`，再由 dead letter consumer 写入 `im_kafka_dead_letters`。
+6. 消费者最多聚合 `message_batch_size` 条消息，在 `message_batch_wait_ms` 时间窗内形成批次并执行一条多值 `INSERT`。
+7. 批量写入失败后逐条降级；每条执行首次写入和 `message_single_retry_count` 次重试，默认共尝试 4 次。
+8. 单条仍失败时，完成 `im.dead.letter` 投递和 `im_kafka_dead_letters` 终态写入后才提交该批 offset；提交失败会持续重试，避免跳过失败消息。
