fix(relay-node): a spawned session binds to its spawn registration instead of registering twice - #2139
A spawned worker's session can start before the spawn has saved its registration. That happens through the Codex SessionStart hook or the periodic activation pass. Activation only skipped spawns that were already saved, so the session went through register_session_with_origin / create_registration and got a second Relaycast agent. Whichever write landed last won. Either the spawn record was lost, taking the requester with it (so "Approvals from the spawning agent" fell back to the person), or an agent was left orphaned. On linuyc every worker a spawning agent started showed both identities, e.g. overlap-harvest next to codex-khaliqgant-are-overlap-N.
Fix:
A spawn that is still in flight counts its session as spawned, so the activation pass skips it.
A spawned session's own /register waits up to 5 s for the spawn to save, then answers with that registration: same name@node, requester and invocation id. If the spawn never saves, the register call is refused.
create_registration never overwrites a saved spawn registration. If it loses the race, it deletes the agent it just created. Saving a spawn deletes any non-spawned identity it displaces.
Codex SessionStart waits for the spawn registration.
Tests: spawn/tests/spawned_binding.rs, with 5 tests. The mocked-REST test only runs on CI.
Not covered here: a one-off cleanup of orphaned Relaycast agents that already exist, and a hosted MCP join_relay without a desktop address, which can still create a hosted participant.
…istration
A spawned Codex or Claude worker's session could be auto-activated (the
Codex SessionStart hook or the periodic activation pass) in the window
between launch and the spawn's registration being saved. spawned_targets()
only excluded saved spawn registrations, so register_session created a
second Relaycast agent, and the store race either dropped the SpawnRecord
(breaking requester approval) or orphaned an agent.
- spawned_targets() also counts in-flight spawn intents (spawning_targets).
- register_session waits for the spawn registration of a spawning target and
answers with it (name@<node>, SpawnRecord intact); refuses otherwise.
- create_registration never replaces a saved spawn registration and deletes
the agent it just created if it lost that race.
- The spawn save deletes a non-spawn identity it displaces.
- codex SessionStart waits for the spawn registration instead of activating.

The relay now identifies sessions that connect while their target is being spawned. It waits for or returns the spawn’s registration instead of creating a competing registration. When a spawn registration replaces an earlier registration, the relay records and processes cleanup for the displaced agent.
Changes: Spawned Session Binding
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Track active spawns and save registrations crates/relay-node/src/relay/spawn.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/spawn/invoke.rs
Active targets include persisted spawn intents that have not ended or failed to launch. When a spawned registration is saved, the relay detects an earlier registration and records cleanup for its agent.
Codex session startup waits for a matching spawn registration. Registration requests return that identity, refuse self-registration while the spawn remains unsaved, or follow the existing path when no matching spawn exists. Tests cover these paths and registration races.
Clean up displaced agent registrations crates/relay-node/src/relay/agents.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/spawn/tests/spawned_binding.rs
Cleanup claims the agent name and checks current registrations before deleting the remote agent. Pending cleanup records remain when deletion cannot proceed and are removed after successful cleanup or when the name is already in use.

A rabbit watched the workers start, While spawn records held each name apart. The session found its matching place, No second agent took its space. Old names waited, checked, then cleared, The rabbit hopped away, unfeared.
[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; the previous cleanup race is fixed.
Summary
Spawned sessions now use their spawn's registration instead of creating a second Relaycast identity.
Spawned workers now use the identity saved for their spawn.
A spawn removes an ordinary identity that already claimed its worker session.
The numbered previous finding is fixed. The earlier restart-cleanup finding is also addressed: the replacement and cleanup record are saved together.

- Around line 155-161: In the saved_spawn_registration loop, read whether target
is in spawning_targets() before calling saved_spawn_registration_now(target),
then return a found registration before checking whether the spawn is still in
flight. Return None when it was not in flight at that earlier read or the
deadline has elapsed; preserve the existing polling behavior otherwise.

…estart, in-flight read order)
- The spawn save records the displaced identity's Relaycast deletion as a
PendingCleanup in the same store update that replaces its registration
and drops its token. A stop before the deletion leaves it to
retry_pending_cleanups after a restart; a deletion that succeeds clears
the record (Core::delete_recorded_cleanup).
- saved_spawn_registration reads the in-flight state before the saved
registration, so a spawn that saves and settles between the two reads is
found saved rather than answered with None.

The deletion right after the spawn's save goes through the same helper as
the retry pass: the name is claimed first, a registration answering to it
again is kept without a DELETE, and the record is dropped only once the
removal succeeded. Writes paused or the name held leave the record for
retry_pending_cleanups.
