After retry exhaustion, only explicitly local headless task-exit workers may spawn without preregistration. Runtime and RelayFlow tests cover failure and fallback paths.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Broker registration now retries transient overloads and restricts fallback to explicitly local headless task workers. The implementation has targeted coverage, but the retry-timing regression can miss incorrect per-attempt delays, leaving a low merge-readiness risk. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

3682-3682: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winUse a temporary directory for the worker log path.
PathBuf::from("/tmp/agent-relay-broker-tests")is a fixed absolute POSIX path. This fixture supports Windows (see the#[cfg(windows)]signal handler at lines 259-261), where/tmpdoes not resolve. The path is also shared across concurrent test runs, and this test spawns a realcatprocess that writes worker logs into it.Create a per-test temporary directory instead.

When the name already exists and /takeover rejects it with a terminal API error, such as 401/403 or an expected-agent conflict, take_over_agent_identity() converts that error into the Transport variant. Calling the wrapper here then makes registration_is_retryable() classify the fatal takeover denial as transient, so the loop repeats the create/get/takeover sequence three times; /api/spawn can even receive RetryableExhausted and enter the local fallback reserved for transient failures, while mcp-args loses truthful fatal and attempt diagnostics. Preserve the takeover status/code, or explicitly classify takeover failures, before applying this retry decision.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes broker spawn and registration failure handling on overload paths; incorrect retry or fallback logic could block spawns or start workers without Relaycast identity.
Overview
Broker-owned bounded retries now cover transient Relaycast registration overloads (especially typed 503 /
database_overloaded) for worker preregistration andmcp-args --register, replacing the SDK’s single-shot path for unkeyed agentPOSTs. Up to three attempts use fixed 200/400ms backoff (capped retry-after), terminal errors keep status/code/request ID with a restamped attempt count, and 429 does not burn retries during SDK cooldown.Spawn behavior is tightened: after retries are exhausted, only headless task-exit workers with
skipRelayPromptmay still start locally without preregistration; PTY and other modes fail closed instead of spawning unreachable agents.Validation adds broker unit/integration coverage, a RelayFlow
1715-spawn-overloadbase-red/head-green proof, and a changelog entry under [Unreleased - Patch].Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 94efb14. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
