Summary

Self-hosted events shim (@agent-relay/events-shim): webhook inboxes whose single MCP URL wakes an idle agent on each post — the same API as Cloud, for installs that must keep delivery in their own AWS/GCP/Kubernetes.

  • New feature events_shim in SELFHOST_FEATURES (off by default; all /api/v1/events-shim/* paths 404 when off, including the /cloud alias).
  • Creating an inbox requires a signed-in user (bearer or same-origin cookie; unexchanged handoffs refused), records workspace/user, 20/h per user. Webhook, MCP and manage routes stay capability-token based.
  • Migration 0047_events_shims; raw-SQL store (row-locked seq, idempotent append, pruning, read never re-queued); tokens hashed, secrets encrypted with the keyring; tables in CONTROL_TABLES.
  • Wake allowlist from RELAYCAST_PUBLIC_URL, overridable with SELFHOST_EVENTS_SHIM_RELAY_ORIGINS; URLs from SELFHOST_PUBLIC_URL; 64 KiB bodies; long-poll aborted on disconnect.
  • openapi.yaml, docs/events-shim.md, README, docs/features.md, CHANGELOG.

Depends on @agent-relay/events-shim@18.2.0 (relay release). package-lock.json is refreshed after that release; until then npm ci fails.

Test Plan

  • test/events-shim.test.ts 10/10 (full app on PGlite: signed-in create → MCP watch/link → forwarded wake → woken; broken link fallback; wait_for_webhook; auth refusal; rotate; idempotency; bearer secret encrypted at rest; 413; workspace delete cascade; feature off 404; origins validation)
  • Full npm test: 1221 tests, 1208 pass, 0 fail
  • npm run typecheck clean
  • Package verified end to end against real Relaycast + Agent Relay Desktop (see feat(events-shim): one MCP URL that wakes an idle agent on each webhook post relay#2151)

Summary by cubic

Adds a self-hosted webhook inbox that stores posts and wakes an idle agent through its Agent Relay session webhook, with MCP long-polling as a fallback.

  • Enable with SELFHOST_FEATURES=events_shim; routes return 404 before authentication while disabled.
  • Creating an inbox requires a signed-in person and is limited to 20 per hour; webhook, MCP, and management routes use capability tokens. Verified modes (GitHub, Stripe, Linear) check the sender's body signature; bearer checks a shared token.
  • Migration 0047 adds the inbox, post, event, and idempotency tables; tokens are hashed and secrets encrypted with the keyring.
  • Row-locked quotas and appends prevent concurrent overages; deduplication survives feed pruning, claims avoid duplicate delivery, and a sending lease expires so a dead sender never strands a post.
  • Posts are acknowledged before their wake is forwarded; wake results apply only to the sender's own claim, so an expired sender cannot confirm or release a post another sender has re-claimed — delivery state only moves forward.
  • Removing the creator from their workspace's organization disables their inbox URLs; wake targets are restricted to configured Relaycast origins.
  • Request bodies are capped at 64 KiB (chunked transfers included), and long-polls abort on disconnect.
  • Depends on @agent-relay/events-shim@18.2.0, now locked in package-lock.json.

Written for commit 793af8b. Summary will update on new commits.

Mount @agent-relay/events-shim under /api/v1/events-shim behind a new
events_shim feature (off by default; 404 before auth while off). Postgres
store (migration 0047: events_shims, events_shim_posts, events_shim_events)
with hashed tokens and keyring-encrypted hook token, secrets and wake bearer.
Creating an inbox needs a signed-in person (per-user rate limit, CSRF check
for cookies); webhook, MCP and manage routes stay capability-based. Wake
links are limited to SELFHOST_EVENTS_SHIM_RELAY_ORIGINS (default the
RELAYCAST_PUBLIC_URL origin).

Walkthrough

The pull request adds an optional events-shim feature. It provides webhook inbox creation, webhook and MCP routes, PostgreSQL storage, and relay-wake forwarding. Configuration, API specifications, documentation, and tests describe the feature and its behavior.

Changes: Events Shim

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature and API contracts
src/features.ts, src/config.ts, openapi.yaml, docs/events-shim.md, docs/features.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, test/features.test.ts, test/introspect.test.ts
Adds the events_shim feature flag and relay-origin setting. Documents routes, authentication, limits, capability responses, and disabled-feature behavior.
Event storage and delivery state
migrations/0047_events_shims.sql, src/control-tables.ts, src/events-shim/store.ts, test/events-shim.test.ts
Adds shim, post, event, and idempotency tables, plus a PostgreSQL store for credentials, event sequences, delivery state, and pruning. Store tests cover idempotency, concurrency, leases, wake state, and pruning.
HTTP routes and shim interactions
package.json, src/app.ts, src/events-shim/routes.ts, test/events-shim.test.ts
Adds the events-shim package and feature-gated HTTP adapter. The adapter applies request-size checks, delegates requests to the package, and forwards responses. Integration tests cover inbox creation, webhook and MCP access, relay wakes, and disabled routes.

With the feature enabled, a failed request on an inbox URL can write that URL's secret token to application logs, and anyone who reads the logs could use it. Oversized chunked uploads may also get a dropped connection instead of the documented 413. Two documentation passages describe bearer verification and duplicate-detection keys inaccurately. Redact the token paths before merging; the remaining items are small.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a self-hosted webhook inbox feature (events shim) that wakes idle agents. The changeset adds the events_shim feature, its routes, storage, migration, and wake handling, so the title matches the primary change. It follows the conventional feat(scope) form and is 68 characters long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose (self-hosted events shim with webhook inboxes that wake an agent), the events_shim feature flag and 404 behavior, the signed-in creation requirement and 20/hour limit, migration 0047, token hashing and encryption, wake origin allowlist, 64 KiB body cap, documentation files, and the dependency on @agent-relay/events-shim@18.2.0. These match the changeset. It also lists test results and a dependency note on the lockfile.

…nly delivery

- reservePost replaces countPostsSince/recordPost: one transaction locks the
  shim row, counts each window and inserts only when all have room, so
  concurrent posts cannot exceed the hourly/daily limits.
- Token lookups require the creator to still be a member of the workspace's
  organization; removing a member turns off their inbox URLs at once.
- markDelivery only moves forward (pending -> woken -> read): a late failed
  wake never demotes a woken or read post.
- docs: state that the shim is a per-agent inbox, not provider ingestion.

Also in bb1ff3d: markDelivery now only moves forward (pending -> woken -> read), matching the package's MemoryEventsShimStore. A failed wake (pending + wakeError) applies only to posts that are still pending, and a late woken never overwrites read. Test: delivery state only moves forward covers success then a late failure, read then a late woken, and failure then success. Results: node --import tsx --test test/events-shim.test.ts test/migrations.test.ts: 22/22 pass; npm run typecheck is clean.

Tracks @agent-relay/events-shim's revised EventsShimStore (relay#2151):
- claimPending replaces listUndelivered/markDelivery: one statement picks
  still-pending rows FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED (materialized CTE, oldest first
  or only the given ids) and moves exactly those, so concurrent callers
  never receive the same event.
- releaseWake returns an event to pending only while it is still woken.
- countPending; markWakeBroken applies only to the link linked at linkedAt.
- appendEvent dedupes against a new events_shim_idempotency_keys ledger
  (migration 0047, CONTROL_TABLES) that survives feed pruning; keys older
  than dedupeSince stop counting and are deleted, and prune() drops keys
  older than feedBefore. The feed's unique key index is gone.

Tracks @agent-relay/events-shim's revised store contract (relay#2151):
- New delivery state 'sending' (0047 CHECK allows it): claimPending claims
  pending posts and 'sending' ones whose lease (delivered_at) is older than
  staleBefore, so a host that dies mid-send never strands a post.
- With linkedAt, claimPending claims nothing unless that wake link is still
  current and unbroken, checked inside the same statement.
- confirmWake: sending -> woken; releaseWake: sending -> pending. Both apply
  only while still 'sending', so late results never overwrite 'read'.
- countPending counts pending plus expired leases.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
confirmWake/releaseWake now take the claim's claimedAt (the deliveredAt
claimPending returned) and apply only WHERE delivery = 'sending' AND
delivered_at = claimedAt, so a sender whose lease expired cannot release
or confirm a post another sender has since re-claimed (relay#2151).

Major · Security & Privacy · Quick win

Redact events-shim capabilities before logging request URLs.

If a body read fails, such as during an interrupted upload, the catch block can log the full request.url. This exposes the MCP or webhook token to log readers. An MCP token or an open webhook token grants access on its own.

Redact both token path segments before logging, including under the /cloud alias.

- Line 134: Update the streamed-size rejection path at the size-versus-limit
check so early exit does not destroy the IncomingMessage socket before the
caller can send 413. Use a non-destroying iteration approach, then ensure the
connection is deliberately closed or the remaining body is drained; add coverage
for an oversized chunked upload without Content-Length.

Review comments at @src/events-shim/store.ts:
- Line 252: Update the retention logic around the tx.query deletion in the event
storage flow so pruning the bounded feed removes old event bodies without
removing their idempotency records. Ensure retries of an evicted event remain
detectable as duplicates and do not receive a new sequence number.
