This PR addresses a race condition in the contact inbox model caused by duplicate `source_id` values linked to different contacts. The issue typically occurs when an agent updates a contact’s email or phone number or when two contacts are merged. In these scenarios, the `source_id`, which is intended to uniquely identify the contact in a session, may still be associated with the old contact inbox. To solve this, we check if there’s already a ContactInbox with the same source_id but linked to another contact. If we find one, we update that old record by changing its source_id to a random value. This breaks the wrong connection and prevents issues, while still keeping the old data safe. However, this is only a temporary fix. The main issue is with the way the contact inbox model is designed. Right now, it’s being used to track sessions, but that may not be necessary for non-live chat channels. In the long run, we should consider redesigning this part of the system to avoid such problems.
