On v18, cloud enroll saves a node record but still tells users to run the removed relay node up, leaving headless servers absent from spawn targets. Replace that advice in success, pin and recovery messages with an explicit enrollment/runtime distinction and the supported headless guide. Preserve the enrollment JSON contract and persistence behavior.

Add the Ubuntu service guide and link it from the CLI and standalone-core READMEs: use the Linux account-aware package, device approval for the existing workspace UUID, systemd lingering and provider/spawn checks. The standalone core and init --hosted do not adopt Desktop's account login. Commands were checked against published Desktop 2026.11.3 (relay setup/relay call); newer top-level forms are covered when advertised by help.

The cold npm peer-compatibility test bounds each install subprocess to 120 seconds and budgets both resolutions plus cleanup (270 seconds total), preserving the supported-install and rejected-peer assertions.

Validation: all CI checks pass at 95b26c8, including Ubuntu/macOS tests, platform builds and peer compatibility. The 77 focused cloud command tests passed locally; TypeScript/Markdown formatting, guide shell syntax, git diff --check and Veto host source/security/secrets review pass. No live Ubuntu setup, paid model call, merge or deployment performed. Independent repository reviews remain required.

Companions: AgentWorkforce/agentrelay.com#272 (public guide), https://github.com/AgentWorkforce/relay-agent/pull/104 (support knowledge). Publish the website guide before releasing the CLI message that links to it.

Walkthrough

Cloud enrollment messages now state that enrollment does not start a runtime. The documentation describes an account-aware Linux service setup for an existing Cloud workspace, including installation, device approval, spawn checks, and troubleshooting. A peer-compatibility test now has longer timeouts.

Changes: Enrollment and headless setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enrollment messages and checks
packages/cli/src/cli/commands/cloud.ts, packages/cli/src/cli/commands/cloud.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md
Enrollment messages clarify that no runtime starts, revise recovery and pin guidance, and link to the headless-server documentation. Tests check the updated output.
Account-aware headless service setup
docs/headless-server.md, crates/relay-node/README.md, packages/cli/README.md
The guide covers setup paths, package installation, systemd service setup, and device approval. The READMEs direct headless server setup to the account-aware Linux service and describe the node’s capabilities.
Spawn validation and troubleshooting
docs/headless-server.md
The guide documents provider and spawn checks, status fields, troubleshooting steps, and workspace-key distinctions.

Peer compatibility test timing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Install and test timeouts
packages/cli/src/cli/relayflows-peer-compat.test.ts
Both npm installs have 120-second timeouts, and the test timeout is 270 seconds. The supported- and rejected-peer checks remain.

A rabbit reads the enrollment note,
“No runtime starts,” in clear words wrote.
It checks the service, then the key,
And waits for Cloud approval eagerly.
With longer test time, logs run slow,
The rabbit hops where spawns can go.

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

Identify the older CLI output when describing node up advice.

This PR removes node up from the enrollment output. The guide still says that some enrollment output recommends it, so readers cannot tell whether the new CLI message remains stale. Say that older v18 CLI versions gave that advice. Make the same clarification in packages/cli/README.md at Line 50.

Publish the guide before releasing this message.

The guide URL currently returns 404. If the CLI ships first, the enrollment success message will direct users to a missing page. Confirm the companion guide is live before publishing the CLI build.

Agreed. The PR description already records the dependency on agentrelay.com#272. I will merge the website guide first once its fresh checks pass, verify that the public guide is available, and then finish this PR. No CLI release is being cut by this agent; releases remain human-gated. Keeping this thread open until the guide is live.

@khaliqgant Thanks. The thread will remain open until the public guide is verified. The CLI release remains human-gated.
