fix(core-bridge): expose schema-v2 service caller lifecycle - #2140
Parse the exact schema-v2 caller.json object written by Agent Relay Desktop, including its nested auth and inbox routes.
Export the validated caller descriptor, identity checks, result-inbox lifecycle, durable settlement helpers, and disconnect helper required by Relayflows node spawning.
Fail closed before authentication when the core does not advertise the complete service-caller lifecycle.
Keep the caller secret out of the returned descriptor, JSON, inspection output, and error text.
Why
Published @agent-relay/core-bridge@18.0.0 accepts an obsolete string-valued auth shape and lacks the schema-v2 descriptor/inbox exports used by Flows PR #707. A clean install therefore succeeds but the first real Desktop caller load either rejects caller.json or reaches an untyped missing export.
This is the package-only repair. It does not merge or release Flows #707, publish npm, or claim the end-to-end lifecycle is complete.
The first attempted fresh root install on this host failed with ENOSPC because /tmp exhausted inodes. The commands above used the already-complete dependency tree from the prior isolated review checkout. Fresh-install proof is therefore delegated to normal PR CI and remains a merge gate.
Current package state\n\nExact head b078d69f4bc59b7c0990f5db3a9a20eec0bc9b33 has independent review, green CI, and zero unresolved review threads. It is ready for the required human review and merge. No release has been dispatched.\n\n## Remaining Flows #707 gates
an official GitHub-workflow package release (only after human authorization);
pin/validate the published successor from a genuinely fresh Flows install;
run the canonical plain-terminal Desktop lifecycle, including lost-response/restart same-key recovery, one worker, journal-before-ack, exact release, and cleanup.

The change adds schema-v2 caller descriptor parsing and reading, service-caller lifecycle checks, and typed APIs for identity verification and invocation-scoped inbox operations. It also adds tests, a fixture, and documentation for descriptor validation, inbox polling, settlement, iterator closure, and disconnect.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to b078d
The change adds schema-v2 caller descriptor reading and service-caller inbox helpers with no concrete functional risk identified. The remaining feedback is to add missing JSDoc tags on the new public functions, which does not block merging.

# exit 0, no output
Independent exact-head source review found no remaining blocker. Its boundary is explicit: verification used the existing dependency tree rather than a fresh npm ci, and did not exercise a live Desktop socket. PR CI and the later public-artifact #707 lifecycle remain required. No package was published.
Exact b078d69f4bc59b7c0990f5db3a9a20eec0bc9b33 has green CI, zero review threads, and independent source/build/test/packed-surface review. Marked ready for the required human review and merge. No release or publish has been dispatched.
- `agent-relay-node` has an optional `SpawnCallers` plugin hook: the plugin says whether a bridge connection is bound to a service caller, admits each `spawn.invoke`, `spawn.status` and `spawn.release` that caller makes, and records its outcome; a call's receipt is returned only after the plugin recorded it, and extension methods now receive the caller's process id. Spawn control refusals carry an optional typed `reason` (such as `not_owner` or `outside_scope`) while `kind` stays `refused`. No spawn control takes a credential: `caller_secret` is refused (`legacy_credential_refused`), a bound connection names no caller, and an unbound one without `caller_name` is refused `caller_unbound`. Without the plugin the core behaves as before for session callers.
- `@agent-relay/core-bridge` authenticates service callers: `readCallerCredential(path)` reads `caller.json` (refusing, on macOS and Linux, a file that is not 0600 and owned by you; on Windows it checks path and link only), and `authenticate(client, credential)` binds the connection by challenge and HMAC, so the secret never crosses the bridge. The spawn helpers refuse a `caller_secret` locally, make `caller_name` optional, and take an `actionTimeoutMs` option for `spawn.invoke` and `spawn.release` (default six minutes, `DEFAULT_SPAWN_ACTION_TIMEOUT_MS`), separate from the 15-second call deadline.
- `@agent-relay/core-bridge` securely reads the complete schema-v2 caller descriptor and provides typed helpers for its identity, invocation-scoped result inbox, durable `journaled`/`rejected` settlement, iterator cleanup and disconnect lifecycle.

Move the new package entry into the Unreleased section
This entry is added under the already-released 18.0.0 heading, even though it describes APIs introduced by this commit to repair that published package. This incorrectly tells consumers that 18.0.0 already contains these exports and leaves the pending release narrative without the change. Move the bullet into the existing [Unreleased - Minor] section, as required by the root AGENTS.md changelog guidance.
### Issue 1
packages/core-bridge/src/service-callers.ts:308
The new public helpers omit the `@param` and `@returns` tags required by the TypeScript guide. Add them to explain the arguments and returned values, especially the two timeout controls in `serviceCallerInboxNext`. The same gap appears across the new lifecycle helpers and `readCallerDescriptor`. This repository requirement must be satisfied before merging.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!
### Issue 2
packages/core-bridge/src/service-callers.test.ts:111-114
The new `fakeClient` supplies `call` as a plain function mock, but the testing guide requires `vi.fn()` for function mocks. Wrap it in `vi.fn()` so tests can use the standard call and argument matchers instead of maintaining a separate call recorder. This repository requirement must be satisfied before merging.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.
Summary
Adds schema-v2 caller descriptors and typed helpers for the service-caller lifecycle.
Caller files now provide a checked schema-v2 descriptor without exposing the secret.
Authenticated callers can check identity and manage invocation-scoped result inboxes.
khaliqgant explicitly noted that fresh-install verification remains a CI merge gate after the local install failed with ENOSPC. No fresh-install or runtime verification was performed in this review.

Add @param, @returns and @throws to the new exported functions.
requireServiceCallerMethods and readCallerDescriptor are public APIs, and their JSDoc has no @param or @returns. readCallerDescriptor can throw caller_file_unsafe and caller_file_invalid, and its JSDoc does not say so. Other exports in this file, such as CallerCredential.fromDocument, already document these tags. Apply the same style here. readCallerCredential has the same gap.
As per coding guidelines: "Use JSDoc for exported functions and classes" and "Include @param and @returns for public APIs".

Document the exported helpers with @param, @returns and @throws.
The new exported functions have a one-line description or none. They do not document parameters, return values, or the two error families they throw. The families are CoreBridgeErrorinvalid_params for bad input and CoreRpcError for a missing method or malformed reply. serviceCallerInboxNext also has a non-obvious timeoutMs default and options.timeoutMs override. Add these tags to every exported function in this module.

This is the current #2140 head. Historical commit da53bc092814831cac7021935bc9dba3d888c370 belongs to older PR #2133 and is not the final review or release target.
The isolated review worktree retained an existing untracked node_modules; no clean-install claim is made by this local rerun. Canonical PR CI separately passed its fresh-install lanes.
The runtime module was imported from packages/core-bridge/dist/index.js and checked against the exact 16-function surface consumed by Flows #707 (connectCore, descriptor/auth/lifecycle checks, identity, target/invoke/status/release, and six inbox/disconnect helpers):
