fix(relay-node): let Cursor editor chats reply and wake after Cursor-started turns - #2122
Three bugs that together meant a Cursor editor chat on the relay could neither answer a Relay message nor be woken by one while idle.
1. Replies pointed at a tool that can never send as a Cursor chat.
Cloud's hosted MCP requires every call made with a Desktop-installed provider token to prove which native chat it comes from. It can verify Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Grok, Pi and Copilot chats, but not Cursor: Cursor's MCP calls carry no chat id. So send_relay_message from any Cursor chat fails with "Agent Relay cannot verify this chat's desktop identity". A Cursor session that registered with "mcp":"agent-relay-sessions" was still shown only that tool, plus the route line saying not to send any other way.
relay_mcp_access now treats every Cursor session (SessionKind::CursorCli, editor and CLI) as socket-only, whatever it declared.
needs_probe_client now gives a Cursor editor conversation the probe client on macOS. Its tools are identified by CURSOR_CONVERSATION_ID, which Apple's curl hides, so a curl reply was refused as not_a_relay_session. A Cursor CLI session (identified by its cursor-agent) keeps curl.
2. An idle chat was not woken after a turn Cursor started itself.
Cursor runs no beforeSubmitPrompt for a turn it starts, such as the "background task finished" notification turn. So <id>.turn kept naming the turn before, and that turn's waiting stop hook saw itself as stale and retired at once. Nothing was waiting while the chat sat idle.
wait::untracked_turn_seen makes a completed editor stop, under a proven window caller, name its own turn as current when .turn knows it neither as the current turn nor as an earlier one.
It leaves .turn alone if the current turn was named after this hook started, or less than 2 s before; that turn may be the newer one.
It also leaves .turn alone if the file can't be read. That keeps the existing fail-safe that no hook waits while the current turn is unknown.
3. A new chat couldn't put itself on the relay during its first turn.
A hook that doesn't name its conversation may only claim one whose transcript Cursor wrote recently, and Cursor writes the transcript late in the first turn. On top of that, editor_caller refused any tool whose conversation had no record yet. "Put yourself on the relay" therefore failed with not_a_relay_session in a fresh chat.
editor_caller now claims through editor::claim for a tool that names its conversation under a verified extension host.
This adds no new capability: a tool could already claim the same way by piping a payload to agent-relay-probe cursor-hook, which vouches by name too.
Every other may_claim check still applies: a conversation a cursor-agent holds, one another running window owns, and a chain with an unreadable environment all name nobody.
Evidence (conversation b72f559d, today)
Missing turn start. My manual cursor-hook call at 6:40 PM cleared .turn. Of the four turns since, the next three recorded a start, so .turn held the current turn plus two earlier ones. It would hold three if the 6:40 PM notification turn had fired beforeSubmitPrompt.
No wake. A message sent while the chat was idle at about 6:52 PM was only handed over at the next tool call, at 6:54 PM.
Hosted send fails, socket send works. Hosted send_relay_message failed with the desktop-identity error, while agent-relay-probe send --socket … from the same chat delivered (message 245384056523141120).
#2121 (Cursor CLI wake) adds followup_turn_seen for CLI follow-up turns and documents that "the editor names every turn as it starts". This PR shows that assumption is wrong for turns Cursor starts itself.
The two PRs touch neighbouring lines in wait.rs (module docs, the function after turn_seen) and run_hook's editor branch, so whichever merges second needs a small rebase. Once both land, the CLI follow-up rule and this editor rule could become one "a completed stop of an untracked turn names it" rule.
Review
Adversarial pass.
Trust boundary unchanged; see point 3.
Turn naming runs only after record_editor_hook proved the window caller, and inside the per-conversation waiting lock.
A missing, unreadable, or future-dated .turn fails safe.
Residual race: a hook that takes more than 2 s from spawn to start while a newer turn starts in that gap. It's also still true that between a Cursor-started turn's start and its first hook, an older waiter can answer; that existed before this PR and no hook can close it.
…started turns
Replies: Cloud's hosted MCP refuses to send as any Cursor chat (Cursor's
MCP calls carry no native chat id, and Desktop's Cursor token makes the
call require one), yet a Cursor session that declared
"mcp":"agent-relay-sessions" was handed only the hosted send tool plus a
route line forbidding any other way. Cursor sessions are now always
socket-only, and a Cursor editor conversation on macOS gets the probe
client (Apple's curl hides CURSOR_CONVERSATION_ID, so curl replies were
refused as not_a_relay_session).
Wake: Cursor runs no beforeSubmitPrompt for a turn it starts itself (the
"background task finished" turn), so <id>.turn kept naming the turn
before and that turn's waiting stop hook retired at once, leaving the idle
chat unwakeable. A completed editor stop of a turn .turn does not know now
names it current, unless the current turn was named less than 2s before
the hook started (it may be the newer turn) or .turn cannot be read.
First turn: a new editor conversation could not be claimed until Cursor
wrote its transcript, so "put yourself on the relay" failed in a chat's
first turn. A tool naming its conversation under a verified extension
host now claims it, as running `cursor-hook` from that tool already could.
Evidence: in conversation b72f559d the 6:40 PM notification turn wrote no
.turn entry (two earlier entries after three hooked turns), and a message
sent while idle was only handed over at the next tool call; hosted
send_relay_message failed with "cannot verify this chat's desktop
identity" while `agent-relay-probe send` delivered.
Review: adversarial pass (trust boundary unchanged: tool env claims were
already possible via cursor-hook; naming only under a proven window caller
and the per-conversation lock; unreadable/missing/future-dated .turn fails
safe; residual race needs >2s hook start delay plus a new turn) and
contextual pass (matches PR #2121's CLI follow-up naming; corrects its
"editor names every turn" assumption; no docs describe the old rules).
Validation: cargo test (relay-node, all 2360 lib + integration tests),
cargo check --no-default-features --tests, check-open-source.sh, fmt; each
new assertion fails with its fix reverted.

The change updates Cursor conversation claiming, records eligible turns started without beforeSubmitPrompt, and routes Cursor CLI relay messages through the session socket with probe-client instructions.
Editor tools can claim a conversation before its transcript or hook exists. Tests cover host recognition and cases where host or environment checks prevent a claim.
A completed stop hook can record an eligible turn that began without beforeSubmitPrompt. Tests cover older waiters, late hooks, newer turns, and unreadable records.
Cursor CLI sessions use SocketOnly access. Probe-client routing applies when no holder is found, and the outbound test checks the resulting delivery instructions. The changelog lists three Cursor-related fixes.
AgentWorkforce/relay#2121: Changes Cursor stop-hook turn tracking and overlaps with the run_hook, wait logic, and tests updated here.
Merge Risk: Low · up to c0358
The Cursor fixes are mergeable with owner awareness of narrow ownership and recovery edge cases. A wrong-window claim can block delivery, while clock adjustments or transient filesystem failures can interrupt idle message waiting.

Explanation
The title names the primary change: Cursor editor chats can reply and be woken after Cursor-started turns. The raw summary covers the probe client routing, socket-only MCP access, the untracked-turn wake fix, and the first-turn claim. The title's wording matches the relay-node fixes, and it does not describe anything absent from the changeset. It omits the first-turn claim fix, which is acceptable for a concise title.

Explanation
The description follows the template's sections. The Summary section is filled in as 'What this fixes', with three numbered bugs, each with its fix and rationale. The Test Plan is covered by the Validation section, which lists cargo test, check, fmt, clippy, and revert-based verification of each new test. The Test Plan checklist items are not ticked, and the 'Manual testing completed' item is only partly addressed: the Evidence section describes live observations, and the ignored live editor wake test was not run. The Screenshots section is absent, but the template marks it as 'If applicable'. Overall the description is thorough and mostly complete.

A rabbit taps the socket, neat and bright, Cursor’s first turn finds its place just right. A stop hook marks the turn it could not see, Then staged replies wait patiently. Through probe-path burrows, messages go, The rabbit nods and hops through snow.
[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge, with no actionable issues found.
Summary
Cursor chats now receive socket reply instructions, can register during their first tool call, and can wait for messages after turns Cursor starts itself.
Cursor chats get reply instructions that work for their session.
A Cursor editor tool can put its chat on the relay during the first turn.
An idle Cursor chat waits for messages after turns Cursor starts itself.
Acknowledgments from khaliqgant:
A hook delayed more than two seconds can still mistake an older turn for the current one.
An older waiter can answer before a Cursor-started turn runs its first hook; this existed before the PR.
Missing, unreadable, and future-dated turn files intentionally prevent waiting.

Addresses review on #2121 and #2122.
Turn order (Greptile P1 on followup_turn_seen; CodeRabbit on the 2 s
mtime window, clock steps and fast background turns): a stop of a turn
<id>.turn does not know was taken as the newer turn by unknown id alone
(CLI) or by file times (editor). Both rules become one, stop_seen, with
no clock: every proven stop marks its turn ended in <id>.turn, and a stop
of an unknown turn names it current only once the current turn ended.
Cursor starts a turn only after the one before it ended, so that turn is
newer; a prompt submitted before the stop ran has not ended and is left
in place. Missing, unreadable or pre-upgrade .turn files still fail
closed until the next prompt.
Shared CLI conversations (Devin, Greptile, CodeRabbit): a waiting CLI
hook kept claiming after a second cursor-agent resumed the same
conversation. It now rechecks, as hook_caller does, that its agent is
the one holder before each claim, and ends Moved otherwise.
Channel and Connect replies (Devin on #2122): a Cursor editor chat on
macOS got curl for channel replies and subscriptions and Relay Connect
replies; they now use the probe like its direct-message replies.
Review: adversarial pass (naming only under a proven caller and the
per-conversation lock; a prompt between turn_seen and stop_seen is not
ended and is kept; a subagent's stop can no longer take a running
parent turn; the extra process scan runs only at claim time; .turn

* fix(relay-node): wake idle Cursor CLI sessions with Relay messages
The Cursor CLI's stop hook answered at once, so a cursor-agent idle at
its prompt kept a staged message until its next tool call or prompt.
It now waits after a completed turn like the editor's, under the
cursor-agent that holds the conversation, and stops once that process
quits or switches conversation. The CLI runs no beforeSubmitPrompt for
a stop follow-up's turn, so that turn's stop names it current, letting
the hook wait again after every wake. Cursor's five-follow-up cap no
longer applies to CLI sessions, matching the waiting entry's
loop_limit: null.

"mcp":"agent-relay-sessions" was handed only the hosted send tool plus a

Wake: Cursor runs no beforeSubmitPrompt for a turn the editor starts

leaving the idle chat unwakeable. A completed editor stop of a turn .turn
does not know now names it current (untracked_turn_seen), unless the
current turn was named less than 2s before the hook started (it may be
the newer turn) or .turn cannot be read. This sits beside this branch's
CLI follow-up rule (followup_turn_seen), whose "the editor names every
turn as it starts" note it corrects, and runs before the shared
Holder::Editor wait under --wait only.
First turn: a new editor conversation could not be claimed until Cursor
wrote its transcript, so "put yourself on the relay" failed in a chat's
first turn. A tool naming its conversation under a verified extension
host now claims it, as running `cursor-hook` from that tool already could.
Evidence: in conversation b72f559d the 6:40 PM notification turn wrote no
.turn entry (.turn held two earlier turns after four turns, where every
turn running beforeSubmitPrompt would have left three), and a message
sent while idle was only handed over at the next tool call; hosted
send_relay_message failed with "cannot verify this chat's desktop
identity" while `agent-relay-probe send` delivered.
Review: adversarial pass (trust boundary unchanged: tool env claims were
already possible via cursor-hook; naming only under a proven window caller
and the per-conversation lock; unreadable/missing/future-dated .turn fails
safe; the CLI and editor rules never both run, since one conversation has
one holder; residual race needs >2s hook start delay plus a new turn) and

What this fixes
Three bugs that together meant a Cursor editor chat on the relay could neither answer a Relay message nor be woken by one while idle.
1. Replies pointed at a tool that can never send as a Cursor chat.
Cloud's hosted MCP requires every call made with a Desktop-installed provider token to prove which native chat it comes from. It can verify Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Grok, Pi and Copilot chats, but not Cursor: Cursor's MCP calls carry no chat id. So
send_relay_messagefrom any Cursor chat fails with "Agent Relay cannot verify this chat's desktop identity". A Cursor session that registered with"mcp":"agent-relay-sessions"was still shown only that tool, plus the route line saying not to send any other way.relay_mcp_accessnow treats every Cursor session (SessionKind::CursorCli, editor and CLI) as socket-only, whatever it declared.needs_probe_clientnow gives a Cursor editor conversation the probe client on macOS.

An idle chat was not woken after a turn Cursor started itself.
