feat(sdk): replace Relay broker execution with node spawn - #707
The response-loss acceptance kit remains part of this head. The public Core Bridge proof dependency remains 18.1.0 with the production optional peer contract >=18.1.0 <19.
Honest boundary
This head is proved locally at the source, package, deterministic crash/replay, timeout, and replacement-worker reconciliation layers, and exact-head GitHub CI passed. The final Linux artifact job tested SDK/type-level authoring contracts, built the standalone CLI, assembled the artifact, and passed its exact Linux smoke. This final commit does not claim a new customer mutation, production deploy, package release, or fresh real-node lifecycle.
The PR remains draft. A human decides merge readiness and merges; publishing is a separate explicit GitHub workflow action. No merge, publish, provision, or deploy occurred here.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The PR replaces broker-based Relay task execution with native node spawning, durable result delivery, and exact-release settlement. It adds local and remote node-spawn adapters, a Desktop caller-file path, runtime ownership, and new settlement helpers. It also retires broker and PTY communication paths and updates docs and tests to match.
Changes: Relay Node-Spawn Migration
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Node-spawn contracts and adapters packages/sdk/src/node-spawn*.ts, packages/sdk/src/index.ts, packages/sdk/package.json, packages/sdk/tests/node-spawn-*.test.ts
The SDK adds node-spawn request, receipt, state, dispatch-fence, local bridge, and remote Relay adapter logic. The package entry point and manifest expose the new runtime surface. Tests cover contract checks, dispatch fences, port behavior, and adapter validation.
The SDK adds remote and Desktop runtime creation, shared runtime ownership, local inbox handling, and explicit service-caller-file wiring through the CLI and local-agent paths. Tests cover runtime selection, caller-file parsing, and relay CLI surface updates.
Durable results and settlement packages/sdk/src/agent-relay-*.ts, packages/sdk/src/node-spawn-{result,settlement}.ts, packages/sdk/tests/agent-relay-*.test.ts, packages/sdk/tests/node-spawn-settlement.test.ts, packages/sdk/tests/node-spawn-live.test.ts
The transport replaces HTTP polling with node-spawn claims, result envelopes, exact release, and durable settlement. The transport and settlement code record replay, cleanup, and journal-led acknowledgment behavior. Tests cover delivery validation, recovery, and live end-to-end flow.
The worker owns the node-spawn runtime, routes relay execution through the new transport, coordinates settlement reconciliation, and drains runtime state during shutdown. Helper code preserves result identity and runtime context across worker execution.
Broker and communication retirement packages/sdk/src/authored-broker.ts, packages/sdk/src/communication/*, packages/sdk/tests/*broker*.test.ts, packages/sdk/tests/communication-*.test.ts, docs/*, examples/issue-swarm/README.md, packages/surface/*
The broker and PTY execution paths are removed or made to refuse execution. The docs and tests describe retired broker surfaces, migration notes, and the new refusal messages.
AgentWorkforce/flows#404: Adds durable task.run claims and receipt validation. This PR replaces that flow with node spawning and durable inbox results.
AgentWorkforce/flows#663: Adds broker sessions, PTY execution, and retained-session messaging. This PR retires those paths and replaces them with node-spawn execution.
AgentWorkforce/flows#709: Updates the Relay SDK peer range. This PR also changes the SDK peer contract for the node-spawn path.
Suggested reviewers:miyaontherelay, khaliqgant
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 5c7bd
A worker that has no Relay authority may refuse to start if an earlier crashed run left an unsettled result in the same data directory. The local Desktop path also depends on a public core-bridge 18.1 release that is not published yet, so it should not ship until that release exists and has been verified. One test will fail in root-run CI.

### Issue 1
packages/sdk/src/node-spawn-state.ts:151-157
`recordNodeSpawn` replaces the whole claim without checking whether another worker has advanced it. A worker can lose its lease during spawn confirmation, then receive its pending reply after a replacement has replayed the request and saved the result. `settleLateSpawn` writes the old snapshot over the replacement's result, release, and settlement records. The replacement can then fail when preparing settlement, and later recovery has lost the saved result.
Protect claim updates across processes and make late cleanup preserve facts already saved by a replacement.
### Issue 2
packages/sdk/src/worker.ts:342-344
If this acknowledgment fails after `stepComplete` succeeds, the error still rejects the dispatch and reaches the fatal worker handler. In production, `attachLocalAgent` calls `client.close(error)` for that error. A temporary inbox outage therefore closes the journal connection and interrupts other running steps. The retry timer cannot keep the worker running after its connection closes.
Keep post-journal settlement failures in the durable retry path instead of sending them through the fatal dispatch-error path.
### Issue 3
packages/sdk/scripts/node-spawn-response-loss-audit.mjs:129-130
Comparing `terminal.at_ms` with `settledAt` does not prove the journal was saved before acknowledgment. `settledAt` is written after the acknowledgment, so acknowledging first and writing the journal afterward can still pass. The new runner fixture already does this: it acknowledges at line 436, inserts the journal entry afterward, and expects the audit to pass.
Check that the matching durable journal entry exists when the proxy receives the settlement request, and make the reversed-order fixture fail. Otherwise the kit can report success without proving its ordering contract.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.
Summary
Replaces broker execution with native node spawn and durable result delivery.
Relay agent steps now run as one-shot tasks on Agent Relay nodes.
Relay results settle only after the run journal records their outcome.
Local Relay agent steps can use an explicitly supplied Desktop caller file.
Broker sessions and broker-backed linked communication are refused instead of launched.
The previous-review ancestry check passed, but the merge bases differed, so this review used the full PR changes. All six supplied earlier threads were unnumbered and were not reposted. Current code includes adjacent cancellation checks, exact cleanup identity, saved deadlines, bridge authentication, cleanup retry state, and iterator closure.
Review was based on source inspection; no tests were run.

using the existing status-mapping behavior in RemoteNodeSpawnPort, so denied,
cancelled, and timed_out become terminal failure statuses recognized by wait.
Preserve the established handling of other known and unknown statuses, and
remove the unchecked status cast.
Review comments at @packages/sdk/src/node-spawn-remote.ts:
- Around line 73-93: Update the post-spawn verification paths in
NodeSpawnRemote.spawn and LocalNodeSpawnPort.spawn so that when a spawn is
confirmed but verification fails, the agent is not left consuming a node slot:
before throwing, use the existing release mechanism when the agent name and node
are known, or return a partial receipt that lets the transport persist and
release it. Cover task-delivery warnings, name or ID mismatches, unresolved
agents, missing node names, and the local case where settled.spawned is true but
agentId or name is missing; preserve existing verification errors and avoid
assuming release is possible without sufficient identity.
Review comments at @packages/sdk/src/node-spawn-runtime.ts:
- Around line 27-41: Propagate the cancellation signal through the inbox
subscription setup associated with RelaycastMessagingClient so it reaches the
initial delivery request as well as idle waiting. Use the SDK’s supported
subscription/request mechanism, ensuring an abort can end waitForNodeResult when
seeding stalls.

Exact-head verification for 32e71b2946fe27f45263460ff0025b853786e3f9.
This is a deliberately bounded claim. The node-spawn contract/recovery tests, compilation, existing direct agent flows, and all non-Claude aggregate timeouts are verified below. A real Relay-node spawn has not yet been executed because this host has neither the Desktop core.sock/service-caller credential nor a dedicated remote publisher token; I am coordinating that remaining proof with snow-lunch and will not label the PR fully proven until it exists.

No gate or workflow file was changed. No merge, package publish, or customer mutation was performed.
The production parent d1799fb8 correctly coalesces two raced recovery callers behind durable claim ownership, so the live verifier must not require both racers to make a physical bridge call. This test-only follow-up:
still launches two resume processes against the same run/data/idempotency key;
requires the committed initial invoke plus at least one exact same-key physical replay;
retains the direct proxy regression that sends two concurrent same-key replay requests and proves one upstream provider frame;
changes no production source, dependency, or gate.

This test-only successor closes two concrete proof-kit gaps without changing production source, dependencies, or gates:
Restores DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 10 * 60_000 after the proxy/orchestrator split. The full deterministic orchestration now omits timeoutMs, so it executes the default path.
Extends captured-log redaction refusal to ar_ and ar_live_ credentials and adds a direct regression.

Snow Lunch independently returned CLEAN for exact 0b68f37a... (Agent Relay message 246098992539635712, ref bc2ac511b66f): two independent replay process generations are asserted, neither reuses the killed PID, and final durable claim retention requires result present, release confirmed, and no cleanup pending. The successor is test/doc-only after production parent d1799fb8.
Current boundary: zero unresolved review threads. Exact-head hosted Linux artifact is still running, and no public-artifact isolated live node/SIGKILL lifecycle is claimed by this comment. No merge or release occurred.
Exact successor de5164477a22f3d3cec39648dccb436d2784ef7f replaces the nonexistent fixture audit hook with the executable local verifier packages/sdk/scripts/node-spawn-response-loss-audit.mjs.
Truthful proof boundary at this head:
verifies the final v3 claim retains the exact intercepted spawn identity, a correlated result, release.status === completed, and no cleanupPending;
accepted v3 fenced local replay now uses an internal handler tied to the exact module admitted by loadCoreBridge(); it repeats the stored request/exact node without mutable directory-scope or live-target preflight
new unfenced local dispatch still enforces current caller scope and target eligibility
injected structural bridges are never replay-enabled
own overrides of spawn, targets, status, or release revoke replay trust; exact identity is rechecked after the asynchronous fence read and immediately before effect
remote/custom/v2 behavior remains fail-closed
Literal exact-head verification:
focused replay/runtime/fence: 3 files, 51/51 pass
affected matrix: 9 files green; combined run had 155/156 pass with one unrelated 5s worker-sharing timing timeout, immediately rerun whole isolated file 17/17 pass
npm run typecheck: pass
npm run typecheck:tests: pass
npm run build: pass
git diff --check: pass
Production mutations:
Route fenced replay back through ordinary LocalNodeSpawnPort.spawn: scope-rotation regression fails 1/1 with outside_scope before bridge replay.
Exact-head independent review of 5a5de5805a269f77ce673c96cb779bb7074113c4: signoff withheld. The scope-rotation regression now passes and ordinary injected structural bridges are no longer replay-enabled, but the production trust/replay contract still has two concrete holes, and the acceptance runner still does not bind the launched consumer artifact.
1. The private replay handler can be overridden without revoking trust
registerReplayableFencedPort() captures a closure that dynamically calls port[LOCAL_FENCED_REPLAY]. hasExactPortMethods() fingerprints only the string-named spawn, targets, status, and release methods. The symbol is discoverable on the prototype and an own symbol override remains replayable even after the post-fence identity recheck.
Literal exact-head reproduction:

Bind replay to an immutable module-private closure over the admitted bridge/core/node, or include the symbol method/own descriptor in the exact identity contract. The selected handler must not dynamically resolve mutable port code after the trust check.
2. Fenced recovery does not replay the durable exact request/node
sameClaim() removes request.task before comparison; executeAgentRelayTask() dispatches the freshly rendered local task and current runtime.node; the claim stores only the node name, not the exact node ID; and the replay handler sends current this.exactNode. A code upgrade can therefore change task bytes, and a same-name re-enrollment can change node ID. Both violate the strict same-request replay contract and can make the server refuse recovery after the original effect committed.
Literal exact-head reproduction:
$ node --input-type=module <<'JS'import { mkdtemp, rm } from 'node:fs/promises';import { tmpdir } from 'node:os';import { join } from 'node:path';import { claimNodeSpawn } from './packages/sdk/dist/node-spawn-state.js';const dataDir = await mkdtemp(join(tmpdir(), 'flows-707-request-'));const base = {version:3,baseUrl:'https://cast.agentrelay.com',publisherId:'pub',publisherName:'publisher',runId:'run_request',stepId:'step',idempotencyKey:'spawn_1234567890',agentName:'worker',timeoutMs:5000,request:{cli:'codex',task:'ORIGINAL RENDERED TASK',task_identity:'stable logical task',worker_cwd:'/tmp',node:'same-name'},startedAt:1700000000000};const first = await claimNodeSpawn(dataDir, base);const second = await claimNodeSpawn(dataDir, {...base, request:{...base.request, task:'CHANGED RENDERED TASK'}});console.log(JSON.stringify({firstCreated:first.created,changedTaskAccepted:!second.created,storedTask:second.claim.request.task,claimNodeName:second.claim.request.node,claimHasNodeId:Object.hasOwn(second.claim.request,'node_id')}));await rm(dataDir,{recursive:true,force:true});JS
{"firstCreated":true,"changedTaskAccepted":true,"storedTask":"ORIGINAL RENDERED TASK","claimNodeName":"same-name","claimHasNodeId":false}
The replay path must reconstruct its request from the validated durable v3 claim, including the original rendered task and exact node identity, rather than the current invocation/runtime. New unfenced dispatch should continue using current inputs and preflight.
3. The acceptance runner checks the orchestrator's bridge, not the launched consumer's
$ cd packages/sdk
$ node --input-type=module <<'JS'console.log(import.meta.resolve('@agent-relay/core-bridge'))JS
file:///home/khaliqgant/.cache/codex-review-targets/flows707-replay-proof/packages/sdk/node_modules/@agent-relay/core-bridge/dist/index.js
installedPackageVersion() resolves relative to node-spawn-response-loss-e2e.mjs, while config.start and config.resume remain arbitrary absolute commands. Thus @agent-relay/core-bridge@18.1.0 may be proven for the checkout even if the launched packed consumer uses another artifact. Bind and hash both child commands to one declared packed-consumer installation and resolve the SDK/Core Bridge versions from that child artifact.

Exact-head follow-up for the injected-bridge and verifier findings: f136c1a
Production trust boundary:
LocalNodeSpawnPort constructor grants neither retryable preflight nor fenced replay.
Only createLocalNodeSpawnRuntime using the exact module object admitted by loadCoreBridge() grants either capability.
Capability validation fingerprints core, bridge, scope, exact-node object/id/name, all four bridge methods (targets/invoke/status/release), and all four public port lifecycle methods.
Identity/state is revalidated whenever preflight or replay authority is queried, and replay is revalidated after the asynchronous durable-fence read immediately before effect.
Injected structural bridge lost-reply regression creates exactly one worker and the second attempt fails ambiguous; injected no-target preflight leaves a durable fence and cannot retry after eligibility changes.
Verifier boundary:
unrelated reservation is not an accepted proof field.
output explicitly lists unrelated_reservation_preservation only under deferred_assertions.
regression now asserts the verifier emits no unrelated_reservation property.
affected combined matrix: 161/162 pass; only the known unrelated 5-second worker-sharing timing test timed out under concurrency, then its whole file passed 17/17 in isolation
source/type-test typechecks, test typecheck, build, diff check: pass
Production mutations:
Restore constructor-time retryable-preflight registration: injected-preflight regression fails 1/1 because the required fence is absent.
The acceptance runner now requires a mode-0700 consumerRoot and resolves both @relayflows/sdk and @agent-relay/core-bridge from that root with createRequire. Both start and resume must use the same Node executable as the proof runner and args[0] must realpath to the exact flows CLI resolved from the consumer SDK. Arbitrary wrappers, checkout CLIs, and another consumer CLI are rejected. Caller parsing imports the exact resolved consumer Core Bridge entry; inherited NODE_OPTIONS and NODE_PATH are removed.
Evidence now records:
consumer package-lock SHA-256
SDK and Core Bridge package-relative paths, versions, package.json hashes, resolved-entry hashes, complete own-package tree hashes and file counts
exact launched SDK CLI relative path and SHA-256
The receipt binds the local run to the installed files actually launched/resolved. Registry provenance and public tarball integrity remain explicitly separate release evidence.
Literal verification:
response-loss proof suite 6/6 pass, including a real orchestrator fixture backed by a synthetic consumer tree and a negative different-CLI regression
full focused trust/replay/proof set at this delta: 4 files 63/63 pass
node --check, source/type-test typechecks, test typecheck, build, diff check: pass
mutation removing only exact consumer CLI equality makes the provenance regression fail 1/1 because the outside CLI is accepted; byte restoration SHA-256 616adafc99ff1f849ec13a7c74ba54355503c31fadf5f9809e13adf3bb56aed9, restored proof suite 6/6
PR remains draft/CLEAN. No merge, release, provisioning, or remote live-node action.
Exact-head capability hardening after architecture review: e2dcdd0
options.bridge is now always conservative, even if the exact official module object was previously returned by loadCoreBridge(); capability registration occurs only when createLocalNodeSpawnRuntime itself loads the bridge.
state validation additionally fingerprints private replay-path invokeSpawn, wait, and cleanupIdentity methods.
validation and replay functions are captured/bound at official registration, so later symbol/prototype lookup cannot substitute them.
regressions cover official-module-via-options rejection and own overrides of invokeSpawn/wait/cleanupIdentity, in addition to existing public method/state/bridge provenance cases.
Exact focused trust/replay/proof set: 4 files, 67/67 pass. Source/type-test typechecks, test typecheck, build, diff check pass. Mutations: removing the internal-load condition makes the injected-official regression fail 1/1; removing wait fingerprint validation makes the private-method regression fail 1/1.

Follow-up independent review through exact e2dcdd0d5982ee4135cac0aa0de3e4e9614ae7a5:
F2 closed. The authentic capability now captures/binds the original state validator and replay function at registration. Overriding the discoverable symbol methods no longer diverts replay (overrideCalls: 0); ordinary injected bridges remain conservative. The focused trust/replay/proof suite passes 4 files / 67 tests.
F4 closed.consumerRoot, exact Node executable, exact SDK CLI realpath, consumer-relative SDK/Core Bridge resolution, package-tree/entry/manifest/CLI hashes, and environment stripping bind the local proof to the launched packed consumer. Registry provenance remains correctly external.
F1 remains open and unchanged.sameClaim() still removes durable request.task; replay still passes freshly rendered task and current runtime.node; the claim still contains only node name; and the replay handler still sends current this.exactNode. The exact reproduction and requested repair are in feat(sdk): replace Relay broker execution with node spawn #707 (comment). Recovery must reconstruct the strict replay request from the validated durable v3 claim, including original rendered task and exact node ID, while new unfenced dispatch continues to use current inputs/preflight.
Signoff remains withheld only for that durable exact-request/node blocker plus pending exact-head CI/review. PR correctly remains draft. No merge/release/live action taken.
Implementation aid for the one remaining F1 blocker (prepared and tested in an isolated, non-pushed worktree so it does not race the PR owner):
Minimal verified shape:
Add exact local nodeId to NodeSpawnRuntime and persist it as request.node_id in new v3 claims.
Validate optional durable request fields, including nonempty node_id.
Keep ignoring only rendered task in sameClaim() so an SDK rendering upgrade can reopen the same logical task; compare node_id, so a same-name re-enrollment fails closed before any replay.
When replayExistingFence is true, construct NodeSpawnRequest from the validated durable claim.request (original rendered task, cwd, model, node name/id, repo, sandbox), not current request/runtime fields. Safe unfenced preflight retry continues using current inputs.
Local fenced replay requires the durable node name/id pair and sends that pair; new dispatch still validates current scope/target and current exact node.
The regression changes the current task rendering after the first strict commit/reply loss while retaining the same taskIdentity, revokes directory scope, restarts, and requires both spawn.invoke calls to be byte-identical in task/key/directory/node. A different current node ID is rejected by durable claim identity rather than replayed.
Exact-head F1 repair evidence for feeba7ebf752faef42c806b515075c9973a41803.
The effect request is now always reconstructed from the durable claim, including a retry after proven side-effect-free preflight. The local claim persists the exact Desktop node ID; a same-name re-enrollment conflicts before effect. Fenced replay uses the durable task/node bytes. A node_id without its paired node name is rejected while node-name-only remote placement remains valid.

The failing Linux artifact test was not a production regression from feeba7eb: the unchanged test used a 50 ms wall-clock task deadline before proving that spawn had entered, a default one-second vi.waitFor, and 100 event-loop turns for real filesystem cleanup. Repetition on the parent reproduced the same failures.
The repaired test now:
waits for the spawn hook to enter;
triggers the task timeout with an explicit AbortController;
waits on a 10-second monotonic bound without changing any expected outcome;
closes the original worker before late confirmation;
proves the first exact release failure is durable; and
attaches a replacement worker to prove the second idempotent exact release completes without reading the journal.

RESTORED SUMMARY pass=20 fail=0
The Linux job passed the SDK/type-level authoring contracts, standalone CLI build, artifact assembly, and exact Linux artifact smoke. Snow Lunch independently signed off this exact head; the PR owner independently reran the exact changed test, stress loop, typechecks, build, and diff check and found no source issue.
This completes the code/test/review gates for this head. The earlier packed real-Desktop lifecycle remains durable evidence for the ordinary end-to-end flow path; later production changes are replay/fail-closed hardening covered by the exact-head response-loss, crash/replay, cleanup, and replacement-worker proofs. No merge, release, provisioning, deployment, or customer mutation was performed. The PR remains draft for the human merge decision.

Check the task deadline before entering irreversible dispatch
If Desktop target preflight outlives the task deadline while the caller's signal is absent or still live, runAgentRelayTask returns a timeout but leaves the pending preflight running. When it finishes, this hook checks only the caller signal, so LocalNodeSpawnPort.invokeSpawn still calls spawnInvoke and starts the agent after the task has already failed. Late cleanup cannot undo filesystem changes or other effects performed by that agent. Create the combined deadline signal before calling spawn and check it in the dispatch hook, so expired preflight cannot initiate new execution.

Late replies erase saved results
recordNodeSpawn replaces the whole claim without checking whether another worker has advanced it. A worker can lose its lease during spawn confirmation, then receive its pending reply after a replacement has replayed the request and saved the result. settleLateSpawn writes the old snapshot over the replacement's result, release, and settlement records. The replacement can then fail when preparing settlement, and later recovery has lost the saved result.
Protect claim updates across processes and make late cleanup preserve facts already saved by a replacement.

Inbox outages stop local flows
If this acknowledgment fails after stepComplete succeeds, the error still rejects the dispatch and reaches the fatal worker handler. In production, attachLocalAgent calls client.close(error) for that error. A temporary inbox outage therefore closes the journal connection and interrupts other running steps. The retry timer cannot keep the worker running after its connection closes.
Keep post-journal settlement failures in the durable retry path instead of sending them through the fatal dispatch-error path.

Ordering proof accepts reversed steps
Comparing terminal.at_ms with settledAt does not prove the journal was saved before acknowledgment. settledAt is written after the acknowledgment, so acknowledging first and writing the journal afterward can still pass. The new runner fixture already does this: it acknowledges at line 436, inserts the journal entry afterward, and expects the audit to pass.
Check that the matching durable journal entry exists when the proxy receives the settlement request, and make the reversed-order fixture fail. Otherwise the kit can report success without proving its ordering contract.
