feat(engine): bind strict spawn replay to exact nodes - #644
This successor closes the current review findings without weakening strict-spawn lifecycle guarantees: replay documentation is lookup-only; every unready unsent placement releases only its owned capacity reservation while preserving the exact-node token for same-key retry; stale dispatchers cannot decrement a newer claim; and an unknown send outcome reports the committed dispatched snapshot. The latest false-ready reservation regression is mutation-verified, the complete crash-recovery file passes 32/32, and engine lint/build are clean: #644 (comment). Exact-head canonical CI, binary smoke, self-host, CodeRabbit, Greptile, Codex code review, and Codex security review are green at this head; zero review threads remain unresolved. Snow Lunch independent source review is requested and pending. No merge, deployment, release, or publication has occurred.
Outcome
Add POST /v1/actions/spawn/strict-invoke, a dedicated mixed-version-safe route for builtin spawn using relay.spawn.invoke.logical/1.
Bind the durable claim to workspace, caller, action, idempotency key, exact node ID/name, agent name, harness, task, requested directory, and readiness requirement.
Allow only server-materialized worker_cwd to differ when replaying the same logical request.
Add replay-only POST /v1/actions/spawn/replay, which never creates missing work and may resume an existing, validated, definitely-unsent claim on its exact node. Dispatched, terminal, and unknown-send outcomes remain immutable replays.
Persist spawn_contract_applied server-side and return it only for a builtin invocation with null action ID and a valid stored strict contract. Client-supplied proof is rejected.
Make the strict contract exclusive to the dedicated route. Generic and node-addressed legacy routes reject it instead of exposing a second proof surface.
Bypass registered spawn actions and node shadows for strict invokes; exact-node placement never falls back by name, capability, capacity, or replacement node.
Keep generic legacy spawn behavior unchanged when the strict contract is absent.
This is the server half of a paired Relay/Flows migration. Its client is Relay PR #2119. It remains a draft and does not merge, release, publish, or deploy anything.
Historical verification at c74c34065c3fa7bcc95d98a3ea4038e44dee9340
Two earlier broad attempts are not claimed: one failed with Linux EDQUOT while tests wrote under the shared /tmp; another, run concurrently with lint/build, reached 2,668 passes and one timeout. The clean isolated rerun moved test temporary files onto the home filesystem and bounded workers:
The focused conformance case also pins: missing strict key, unknown top-level field, workspace-key refusal, client proof spoof refusal, registered spawn shadow bypass, builtin/null-action provenance, exact ID/name/capability failures, offline refusal, cwd-only rematerialization, caller isolation, name reuse, replay-only behavior, refusal to upgrade an old inert row into a strict claim, and rejection of strict bodies on generic and node-addressed routes.
Independent review
Independent review of the complete exact-head diff found no remaining issue at c74c34065c3fa7bcc95d98a3ea4038e44dee9340 (binary diff SHA-256 bf46cd47c1443b1f79ef8e08413f138435d86ef66122f07c835967d83feb8049).
The reviewer confirmed the dedicated-route restriction, generic-route OpenAPI
responses, node/core-bridge transport classification, route ordering,
authentication, replay/idempotency behavior, and legacy compatibility. Their
focused reruns passed the SDK/OpenAPI sync test 3/3 and node conformance 2/2
(81 skipped); git diff --check origin/main...HEAD was clean.
Delivery boundary
The companion Relay client must ship only after this server route is available. Flows #707 stays draft until the paired Relay client and production Desktop service-caller implementation are released and an actual local direct-node flow proves spawn, task delivery/output, restart/retry reconciliation, release, and no broker/PTY use.
This change adds strict exact-node spawn invocation and replay endpoints. It stores placement ownership and dispatch-generation data, adds atomic placement and dispatch operations, and updates retry, node-loss, completion, and expiry handling. Conformance tests cover request validation, replay, recovery, concurrency, and reservation behavior.
Adds strict invocation and replay request schemas and authenticated routes. Strict requests validate logical fields and use server-owned proof. Generic and node-addressed routes reject strict contracts, while the legacy spawn route remains supported.
Durable placement and migration support packages/engine/src/db/schema.ts, packages/engine/src/db/schema.pg.ts, packages/engine/src/db/migrations/*, packages/engine/src/db/migrations-pg/*, packages/engine/src/engine/strictSpawnPlacement.ts, packages/engine/src/engine/placement.ts, packages/engine/src/ports/database.ts, packages/engine/src/db/__tests__/*, packages/engine/src/adapters/actor/__tests__/database.test.ts, packages/engine/src/adapters/postgres/__tests__/migrate.test.ts
Adds placement-token and dispatch-generation fields, migration backfills, and atomic operations for exact-node claims and reservations. Preferred-node placement now reports errors for missing, mismatched, or incapable targets.
Strict claims dispatch against their placement token and do not automatically resend after an uncertain send. Retry, node-loss, completion, and expiry paths handle strict claims and reservations separately. Tests cover restart recovery, races, and settlement behavior.

I’m a rabbit by the burrow gate, I check the node and key I rate. A claim stays safe when sends are unclear, A replay finds what’s already here. I twitch my nose; the workers start, With tokens held close to the heart.
the handler-node snapshot is written later still (roughly 1947–1952).
This leaves two unproven crash windows:
If the server dies after the claim insert but before placement, the persisted row has attempts=0 and no node. Same-key strict invoke and /spawn/replay poll it and return retryable idempotency_unavailable; neither resumes dispatch. The expiry sweep eventually terminally fails it as never_dispatched_expired. The stable logical operation is not recoverable.
If the server dies after claimSpawnNode() increments reservedAgents but before the invocation snapshot records the node/reservation, capacity can be stranded. The sweep assumes attempts=0 means there was no reservation, so it cannot release this one.
The current conformance suite covers caught placement errors and normal lost-response replay, but not process death/restart at either write boundary.
Before this can be the “flawless crash recovery” prerequisite for Flows #707, please either make claim+placement atomic or persist a resumable pre-dispatch state with durable reservation ownership/reconciliation, then add crash injection at both boundaries. The recovery proof needs to show: same logical key after restart, exactly one provider frame/worker, recovered proof/result, reservation count restored, and no alternate-node fallback.
This is a source-review finding; I did not mutate, merge, release, or deploy this PR.
Exact-head repair evidence for 975fbc4a2ef8cd1b46a601816de32888d667f573.
The two reported pre-dispatch crash windows now use durable exact-node placement ownership and atomic reservation accounting. A same-key strict invoke or replay resumes only an existing definitely-unsent claim. Replay never creates missing work, never falls back to another node, and preserves immutable dispatched/terminal/unknown-send outcomes. A file-backed SQLite regression closes the first runtime, reopens the same database, reattaches the exact node, and proves one provider frame plus one reservation.

This successor addresses the three exact-head review findings:
a strict built-in spawn whose provider send has an indeterminate outcome now settles closed on timeout or node-loss recovery instead of entering legacy rescheduling and emitting a second frame;
never-dispatched expiry rechecks spawnReservedAt IS NULL, so a reservation acquired after the sweep snapshot remains owned and capacity is not leaked;
strict-invoke replay returns the durable terminal completed/failed status instead of synthesizing dispatched.

The fresh exact-f218406a Codex review found that a resumed reservation reused its old ownership timestamp as dispatchedAt. This follow-up keeps the ownership timestamp in spawnReservedAt but stamps dispatchedAt and retryAfterAt from one fresh dispatch time. The regression resumes a reservation older than ACTION_DISPATCH_TIMEOUT_MS and proves an immediate normal timeout sweep does not fail it.

This successor addresses both current Codex findings:
strict placement and dispatch claims defer SQL checkpoint liveness to a configured external NodeLivenessAuthority while retaining exact capacity/reservation predicates;
strict retries replay an already-dispatched or terminal durable claim before consulting mutable node name/capability projection.
Both changes are mutation-verified below. The specific production behavior was removed, the new regression failed, the exact behavior was restored, and the same regression passed.

Scope boundary: this evidence closes the two current exact-head source findings. It does not claim the separate cross-repository directory-revocation contract is settled; that paired Relay/Relaycast design remains under owner and independent review.
A regular code review gets triggered (for example, "@codex review" or when a PR is opened), and you’re opted in so security review runs alongside code review

I then reverted only the unknown-send response to the previous pending/null-node response, ran its regression, restored the change byte-for-byte, and reran the same command.

Independent exact-head review of f997fc8717bd4d62b40c5fea982824381dd69074: CLEAN — no blocking source finding.
The reviewer confirmed:
the root changelog, engine changelog, README, and OpenAPI describe replay as lookup-only;
reservation release is an exact pending-placement CAS over node, placement token, and reservation timestamp, clears only spawnReservedAt, preserves exact-node retry authority, and rolls back a capacity decrement if a concurrent dispatcher advances the claim;
strict readiness refusal releases only an invocation-owned reservation;
unknown-send responses expose the already committed dispatched snapshot while keeping the no-resend/fail-closed settlement path.
The initial focused command discovered preserved .review-* copies and was not used for a count. The reviewer excluded them and reran:
$ env TMPDIR=/dev/shm/relaycast-f997-review-tmp npx vitest run packages/engine/src/__tests__/conformance/strictSpawnCrashRecovery.test.ts --exclude '.review-*/**' -t 'releases a placed reservation when strict readiness is lost before dispatch|does not release capacity after a concurrent dispatcher advances the placement|does not resend after a crash with an unknown socket-send outcome' --reporter=verbose

Review comments at @packages/engine/src/engine/action.ts:
- Around line 2120-2128: In the unready dispatch branch guarded by providerReady
and nodeReady, release any spawn reservation before checking verify_ready, so
pending claims with verify_ready false do not retain capacity. Clear
invocation.spawnReservedAt only when releaseStrictSpawnPlacementReservation
succeeds, preserving the exact-node token and allowing a same-key retry to
reacquire capacity. Add a test covering an unready verify_ready false claim and
its same-key retry.

Exact-head repair evidence for cc025be4d6bcc7ec58617a561c43dde86ac8a6bb.
An unready strict placement now releases its owned unsent capacity reservation before either returning pending or refusing verified readiness. The exact-node placement token remains durable, so the same idempotency key can reacquire capacity on the same node and dispatch after the provider reconnects.
Mutation verification: I restored only the previous production placement of the release inside verify_ready === true, leaving the new regression intact.

@willwashburn Human merge requested for exact cc025be4d6bcc7ec58617a561c43dde86ac8a6bb. The PR is MERGEABLE, all 16 required checks are green (with only expected skips/neutral review bookkeeping), exact-head Codex code and security reviews completed without findings, and all review threads are resolved. Independent exact-source review found no blocking issue. This is the server prerequisite for stacked #647 and Relay #2119. Please merge only after your own review; no release or deployment is requested by this comment.
Independent Snow Lunch exact-head verdict for cc025be4d6bcc7ec58617a561c43dde86ac8a6bb: SIGNOFF. The review confirmed releaseStrictSpawnPlacementReservation runs before both unready outcomes, so a strict claim failing unready on either path releases its reservation, while the durable placement token lets the same key reacquire exactly one slot. This supplements the existing green exact-head CI/code/security record. Human merge remains required; no release action.
Independent clean-install verification at exact cc025be4d6bcc7ec58617a561c43dde86ac8a6bb.
This closes the deferred clean-install regression-suite check. It does not claim live-Postgres conformance; no live PG instance was used.
The host npm policy has ignore-scripts=true, so the clean install intentionally did not compile the optional native better-sqlite3 binding. I made that precondition explicit, installed that package's native binding directly, proved a real query, and then ran the repository's complete engine regression command. No source files were edited; git status --short was empty.

Current exact head
Head:
cc025be4d6bcc7ec58617a561c43dde86ac8a6bbThis successor closes the current review findings without weakening strict-spawn lifecycle guarantees: replay documentation is lookup-only; every unready unsent placement releases only its owned capacity reservation while preserving the exact-node token for same-key retry; stale dispatchers cannot decrement a newer claim; and an unknown send outcome reports the committed dispatched snapshot. The latest false-ready reservation regression is mutation-verified, the complete crash-recovery file passes 32/32, and engine lint/build are clean: #644 (comment). Exact-head canonical CI, binary smoke, self-host, CodeRabbit, Greptile, Codex code review, and Codex security review are green at this head; zero review threads remain unresolved. Snow Lunch independent source review is requested and pending. No merge, deployment, release, or publication has occurred.

The companion Relay client must ship only after this server route is available. Flows #707 stays draft until the paired Relay client and production Desktop service-caller implementation are released and an actual local direct-node flow proves spawn, task delivery/output, restart/retry reconciliation, release, and no broker/PTY use.
