Summary

  • require a full expected PR head SHA for manual proof dispatches
  • resolve the live PR head before publishing a pending proof status
  • fail closed when the requested SHA is stale or malformed

Why

GitHub Actions reruns retain their original event/workflow SHA. A rerun of an old proof cannot establish evidence for a newer PR head.

Validation

  • node --test scripts/pr-proof/report-status.test.mjs (2 passing)
  • git diff --check
  • Veto diff review: PASS

RelayFlow Proof

  • Change type: non-functional
  • RelayFlow case: n/a

This changes only proof-dispatch workflow tooling and its regression test; no installed Relay runtime surface changes.


Note

Medium Risk
Broker orphan termination logic changed for up and down --force; incorrect matching could leave orphans or kill wrong processes, though ambiguity now fails closed. PR-proof changes are workflow-only.

Overview
This PR tightens who gets killed during node startup/recovery and down --force, and separately makes manual RelayFlow PR proof refuse stale head SHAs.

Broker lifecycle: Orphan cleanup now keys off the active state directory (--state-dir / data dir) instead of broadly matching processes tied to the project root. Brokers declaring --state-dir are matched only when that path resolves unambiguously (including relative dirs via the process cwd); duplicate or missing flags are skipped. PTY broker pty workers and shell lines that merely mention agent-relay up are no longer treated as orphan brokers. Default-state-dir projects still use cwd + broker name heuristics, but custom state dirs no longer adopt unrelated processes under ancestor paths. Changelog, CLI tests, and RelayFlow case 1736-scoped-orphan-cleanup cover isolated vs peer/default/PTY/shell/ambiguous fixtures.

PR proof dispatch: workflow_dispatch gains required expected_head_sha; report-status.mjs start validates it against the live PR head before publishing pending status (empty for pull_request_target). Unit tests cover accept/reject paths.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change scopes broker orphan cleanup to the selected state directory and adds regression coverage. It also requires manual proof dispatches to provide the current pull request head SHA before publishing proof status.

Changes

Scoped orphan cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
State-directory process matching
packages/cli/src/cli/lib/broker-lifecycle.ts
Process detection parses known CLI commands, broker names, state directories, and working directories. Ambiguous or mismatched processes are excluded.
Lifecycle cleanup wiring
packages/cli/src/cli/lib/broker-lifecycle.ts
Startup recovery and forced startup or shutdown cleanup use project paths and broker-name options.
Cleanup validation and regression coverage
packages/cli/src/cli/commands/core.test.ts, tests/relayflows/cases/1736-scoped-orphan-cleanup/*, CHANGELOG.md
Tests verify isolated state directories, relative paths, ambiguity handling, ancestor isolation, and PTY preservation. The RelayFlow case compares base and fixed behavior. The changelog records the fix.

Proof dispatch head validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expected head SHA validation
.github/workflows/relayflow-pr-proof.yml, scripts/pr-proof/report-status.mjs, scripts/pr-proof/report-status.test.mjs
Manual dispatches pass expected_head_sha. Status reporting rejects malformed or stale SHAs before starting proof status. Tests cover matching, stale, and malformed values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Please review exact head 1706df5. A manual proof now requires an expected full SHA and resolves the live PR head before publishing pending status, so stale reruns cannot be described as fresh head proof.

P1 Badge Pass the dispatch SHA through the environment

A workflow_dispatch caller can put shell syntax such as command substitutions or quotes in this string input, and Actions interpolates the value into the generated shell script before report-status.mjs can validate it. A repository collaborator able to dispatch the workflow could therefore execute commands on the trusted runner, rewrite prepare.mjs or run-cloud.mjs, and reach the later Cloud proof step where CLOUD_API_KEY is exposed. Bind the input to an env variable and pass the quoted environment value instead of embedding the expression in run.

Fixed in 93ab04e: the workflow-dispatch value is now assigned to EXPECTED_HEAD_SHA in step env and passed as a quoted environment expansion; the existing full-SHA Node validation remains the policy gate.

@cursor review

Please re-review exact head 93ab04e. It addresses the P1: caller-controlled workflow-dispatch SHA input is no longer interpolated into shell source; it passes through a quoted step environment variable before strict Node validation.

P1 Badge Preserve broker-name isolation for explicit state directories

When two differently named brokers use the same explicit state directory and the connection metadata is missing, node up --background --broker-name X --state-dir D passes X into orphan cleanup but this branch selects every broker declaring D, including broker Y. The runtime explicitly namespaces locks and PID files by broker name so concurrent named brokers can coexist (crates/broker/src/runtime/paths.rs:101-104); apply the broker-name check here as well, otherwise recovery can terminate the peer broker.

P2 Badge Preserve whitespace in state-directory arguments

On Linux, ps aux renders an argv value such as --state-dir "/tmp/relay state" without shell quotes, so this \S+ fallback reads only /tmp/relay. For any supported --state-dir containing whitespace, down --force therefore reports cleanup while leaving the orphan alive, and background recovery can attempt to start a conflicting broker. Obtain the process argv without flattening its NUL-delimited arguments, or otherwise handle the ambiguity explicitly.

Preserve cleanup for custom-named default-state brokers.

HarnessDriverClient starts a custom broker with --instance-name <custom>. When down --force finds no connection file, runDownCommand omits brokerName, so cleanup falls back to the project basename and rejects that process. Persist or forward the configured broker name before calling killOrphanedBrokerProcesses.
