I wasn't able to fully get the chat WebSocket server to connect to the gui for a full on production test but from testing with the mock server I was able to emit the reply like a message would and get the client to store it in its dom and render / show it in chat

this.inputhistory.add(`/reply ${targetNick} ${replyText}`);
}
