feat(broker): publish fleet workers' provider session id on their Relaycast agent - #1853
khaliqgant wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…aycast agent After every successful spawn or supervised respawn of a worker that holds a hosted identity, PATCH the agent's metadata with top-level `session_id` (the Claude Code session UUID / Codex thread id the broker resolved for the spawn, the same value `GET /api/spawned` reports as `sessionId`) and `session_kind` (`claude-terminal` for PTY Claude, `codex`, otherwise the normalized CLI name). The PATCH carries only those keys, so the engine merges them over the existing metadata and the `fleet` placement record and declared keys are preserved. This lets the cloud dashboard link a recorded session to the fleet worker's @name so people can message it from the session page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

🔴 Old session links to replacement worker
When a name is reused, spawn_session_metadata_publish can write the previous worker's session onto its replacement. Its detached task PATCHes by name without checking the registered agent identity or generation.
Learn more
A successful spawn starts a detached session-metadata task. The task keeps the worker's name but not the agent ID or process generation. If the name is released and registered again before the PATCH completes, the old task can update the replacement's agent.
Example: Worker alpha schedules a PATCH for session S1. After alpha is released, a new alpha starts session S2. The old PATCH completes last and labels the new agent with S1.
Recommended fix: Fence publication to the registered agent ID and worker generation, or serialize and cancel pending publications per name. A name-only PATCH cannot provide identity fencing by itself.

Fixed in e6f4e0e. Each successful spawn now claims the name's session publish synchronously (claim_session_metadata, ws.rs:882; fleet.rs:2355), even when it has no session id. A publish whose claim a later spawn has superseded sends nothing, and the check runs under the name's metadata lock, so an old PATCH can never land after the replacement's. Test: superseded_session_metadata_publish_sends_nothing.

Record this feature in the Unreleased changelog
This introduces externally observable broker behavior that publishes fleet workers' provider-session metadata for dashboard linking, but the commit leaves CHANGELOG.md unchanged. Add an impact-first entry under the existing [Unreleased - Major] section so the cross-package release narrative includes the feature.

Parse quoted CLI commands before deriving session kind
For a valid shell-quoted executable path containing spaces, such as "/opt/AI Tools/codex", the spawn path parses the command correctly with parse_cli_command, but this whitespace split extracts "/opt/AI and publishes session_kind: "ai" instead of codex. That leaves the new session metadata inaccurate and can prevent the dashboard from matching the Codex recording; derive the executable with the same command parser used by worker startup.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in e6f4e0e. worker_session_metadata now takes the executable from parse_cli_command (fleet.rs:2323), the same parser worker startup uses. "/opt/AI Tools/codex" now yields codex, and a test case covers it.

…ids to the latest spawn The engine merges `PATCH /v1/agents/:name` with an unlocked read-modify-write, so the declared-metadata and session-id PATCHes a spawn detaches could each drop the other's keys. Every metadata PATCH the broker sends for a name now holds a per-name lock on the shared Relaycast client. A spawn also claims the name's session publish synchronously when it succeeds; a publish whose claim has been superseded by a later spawn of the same name sends nothing, so a released worker's late PATCH cannot label its replacement with the old session. `session_kind` is derived from the executable parsed the way worker startup parses it, so a quoted path with spaces names the right CLI.

Prune idle metadata fences, including claims without session IDs.
RelaycastHttpClient::metadata_fence retains one fence for each distinct trimmed name. The shared Arc map persists across client clones, so a long-running broker can retain memory for every distinct name it accepts. Reusing a name does not add another entry, but the map has no cumulative bound.
spawn_session_metadata_publish claims the fence before worker_session_metadata. When the spawn has no session ID, that function returns None and the claim is dropped without a PATCH. Cleanup must cover this path as well as completed metadata PATCHes.
Only remove an entry while holding the map mutex and when Arc::strong_count(entry) == 1. This preserves the fence for pending claims and in-flight PATCHes.

Why
The Agent Relay cloud dashboard shows recorded sessions (the relayhistory session id is the Claude Code session UUID or the Codex thread id). To let people message the agent behind a session from the session page, the cloud has to map that session to a Relaycast agent
@name. Desktop session agents already publishsession_id/session_kindin their agent metadata. Fleet workers didn't: their metadata held only the engine'sfleetplacement record ({node_id, invocation_id, registered_at}), even though the broker knows each worker's provider session id (it's thesessionIdinGET /api/spawned). The cloud matcher (sessionAgentFrom, cloud #3996) will be extended to accept fleet workers using these keys.What changed
RelaycastHttpClient::publish_session_metadata(relaycast/ws.rs) sendsPATCH /v1/agents/:namewith only{"metadata": {"session_id", "session_kind"}}. The engine merges it over existing metadata ({...existing, ...body}), so thefleetrecord and declared organization/project/etc. keys stay as they are. The existing declared-metadata publish now goes through the samemerge_agent_metadatahelper.runtime/fleet.rs:worker_session_metadata(spec)gets the session id from the spawn's effectiveAgentSpec(the idWorkerRegistry::spawnresolved: a pre-assigned Claude--session-idUUID, a resumed or pre-created Codex thread, or a native/PTY harness session).session_kindisclaude-terminalfor PTY Claude,claudefor headless Claude,codexfor Codex, and the normalized CLI name otherwise.spawn_session_metadata_publishruns the PATCH on a detached task and only logs failures, like the declared-metadata publish.action.invoke/ WS spawns (relaycast_events.rs). This is the fleet path. It runs after the spawn because the session id is only final at that point./api/spawn(api.rs), next to the existing declared-metadata publish.maintenance.rs), so a respawn that resumes or starts a different session updates the published id.Example of an agent's metadata after the change:
{ "fleet": {"node_id": "node_…", "invocation_id": "inv_…", "registered_at": "…"}, "session_id": "0f5c8d3e-1b2a-4c5d-9e8f-7a6b5c4d3e2f", "session_kind": "claude-terminal" }How it was tested
worker_session_metadatafor claude PTY/headless, codex, a provider fallback, and no session./api/spawnruntime test now also checks that the session PATCH lands on a successful spawn and does not fire when the launch fails.cargo test -p agent-relay-broker: 1329 passed, 0 failed, 5 ignored.cargo clippy -- -D warningsis clean, andcargo fmt --checkis clean.Caveats

Note
Medium Risk
Changes hosted agent metadata on every fleet spawn/restart with new concurrency fencing; failures are logged only, so stale or missing session links are possible without breaking spawns.
Overview
After a successful spawn or supervised restart of a worker with a hosted Relaycast identity, the broker now publishes the provider session (
session_id, optionalsession_kind) onto that agent’s metadata via a merge-onlyPATCH /v1/agents/:name. That lets the cloud dashboard tie a recorded Claude Code or Codex session to the fleet worker’s@namefor messaging from the session page.RelaycastHttpClientgains a claim/publish flow:claim_session_metadataruns synchronously at spawn so ordering beats detached tasks;publish_session_metadatasends only the session keys. Per-agentMetadataPublishFenceserializes metadata PATCHes (declared org/project keys and session keys no longer race and drop each other), and superseded claims drop stale publishes when a name is reused.worker_session_metadatamaps the effective spawn spec to the session UUID/thread id and a kind (claude-terminal,codex, normalized CLI, etc.).spawn_session_metadata_publishis wired on HTTP/api/spawn, Relaycast fleet spawns, and maintenance respawns—alongside the existing declared-metadata publish, best-effort on a background task.Changelog and broker tests cover PATCH bodies, blank ids, supersession, and non-overlapping metadata writes.
