Authored TypeScript assignments fail before execution when their isolated run directory cannot resolve @relayflows/surface. The worker now links the CLI’s pinned SDK Surface into that directory only when no Surface is supplied. Assignment-provided dependencies remain unchanged; broken packages and linked parent directories refuse. Standalone installs reuse the existing pinned SDK provisioning store.

The regression enters the actual assignment runner and launches a real child that calls the installed SDK’s public check, loads the isolated authored file through its actual loader and Surface, and executes the authored body. A separate assignment Surface is preserved. Removing the fallback reproduces the original import failure.

Validation: 58 focused worker/credential/runtime tests, full npm run typecheck, the strengthened four-case actual-SDK regression subset, whitespace checks and independent source review passed. Package manifests and lockfile are unchanged. The source tree after composing current main was byte-identical to the tested repair; only the follow-up trajectory note and Fixed changelog entry were added afterward.

This fixes the outstanding runtime review of merged #2131. It does not claim daemon/journal/provider execution or compiled standalone/Windows runtime qualification. No publish or deployment was performed.

Walkthrough

The CLI prepares authored TypeScript cloud-worker assignments to use its pinned Surface package when the assignment has no resolvable package. It preserves resolvable supplied packages, checks runtime paths, and configures TypeScript child environments.

Changes: Authored Surface resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve and link the pinned Surface packages/cli/src/cli/lib/cloud-worker-authored-runtime.ts	The runtime helper locates the CLI-pinned Surface and links it into assignments without a resolvable Surface package. It preserves resolvable supplied packages and rejects invalid runtime paths.
Configure and verify authored assignments packages/cli/src/cli/commands/cloud-worker.ts, packages/cli/src/cli/commands/cloud-worker-authored-runtime.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md, docs/cloud-workers.md, .agentworkforce/trajectories/active/cloud-worker-local-agent.md	For TypeScript assignments, the command prepares the runtime, requires Node.js 22.12 or newer unless the runtime is Bun, and enables Node type stripping while preserving existing NODE_OPTIONS. Tests cover successful execution and missing, incompatible, and linked-package cases. The changelog, guide, and trajectory record document the behavior and runtime requirements.

The runtime repair is mergeable with a bounded test-coverage gap: the regression test does not fully protect preservation of an assignment-provided Surface.

Move SURFACE_PACKAGES out of the command layer to keep the dependency direction commands -> lib.

This lib module imports SURFACE_PACKAGES from ../commands/product-surfaces.js. Command modules import helpers from lib, so this import reverses that direction. It also couples a shared helper to a command module, which can create an import cycle if product-surfaces.ts later imports from lib.

Define the SURFACE_PACKAGES table, or a pinnedSurfacePackage('@relayflows/sdk/relay-cli') accessor, in lib/product-surface-store.ts. Re-export it from product-surfaces.ts if other command code needs it.

As per coding guidelines: "Import helpers from ../lib/ not from other command modules".

The exact Node 22.14 CI failure is corrected in the current successor: TypeScript assignment children receive --experimental-strip-types in their own NODE_OPTIONS, preserving existing options and leaving the parent process and YAML unchanged. The scoped environment also reaches the standalone Bun CLI’s later Node SDK child. Node runtimes below Surface’s minimum 22.12 refuse authored assignments explicitly; standalone builds document the same SDK Node requirement.

The official checksum-verified Node 22.14.0 binary reproduced the original two real-import failures, then passed the same four regressions with the product fix, with ambient NODE_OPTIONS and NODE_PATH removed. The captured actual child environment is asserted and reused for the missing-Surface negative control. Root’s full 58 focused tests, full typecheck and formatting/whitespace checks pass; independent source review found no blocker. No manifests or lockfile changed.

Hosted checks rerun on this successor. Required exact-head review remains requested; no merge, publication or runtime deployment is claimed.

114-122: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Move the Node version check before the Surface preparation.

prepareWorkerAuthoredRuntime runs at Line 267. buildWorkerRuntimeEnv runs later, at Line 290, and it throws on Node below 22.12. On an unsupported runtime, the worker creates the node_modules/@relayflows/surface link in runDir first. Then the worker rejects the assignment.

The failure is still correct. The side effect is wasted work, and AGENT_RELAY_WORKER_KEEP_RUN_DIR can retain it. Move the runtime check into a helper. Call that helper before prepareWorkerAuthoredRuntime. Keep the NODE_OPTIONS change in buildWorkerRuntimeEnv.

Line 121 uses --experimental-strip-types on any Node 22.12 or newer. Node 22.18 and newer enable type stripping by default, so the flag is redundant there but harmless.

Current head 571751def58c1b99c4ab1c032a6abc345b9a7680 addresses the module-level constant naming finding (thread resolved) and strengthens the missing-Surface negative control to require a normal numeric nonzero exit, no signal and no subprocess error. Production code is unchanged from 5c413b04, whose Linux and macOS Node 22.14 test lanes passed.

Local validation limits: the bounded four-case fixture passed on Node 26 after adding explicit child deadlines. A subsequent exact Node 22.14 run hit its 20- and 40-second limits (2 passed, 2 failed); this is preserved as a failure, with no known fixture processes left running. Slow transforms/imports were observed, but host load has not been established as the sole cause. The earlier exact Node 22.14 four-case production-fix pass remains recorded separately. Current-head hosted checks and required review remain necessary. No failed/timed-out run is counted as a causal negative success.

[AgentRelayBot]

Reviewed exact head 571751d. No material findings. The Surface fallback preserves supplied dependencies, rejects linked parent paths, scopes TypeScript stripping to authored assignment children, and the strengthened regression requires a normal numeric nonzero negative-control exit. Exact-head hosted Node 22.14 Ubuntu/macOS lanes and the remaining matrix are green; zero unresolved threads.

Distinguish the supplied Surface payload

Add a harmless marker to the copied assignment package and assert its surfaceAuthority.packageSha256 in the child result. The current fixture has the pinned package’s bytes, so copying the pinned payload over the supplied package can pass without preserving its contents.
