Closes #1622.

What was wrong

A node served by agent-relay-broker init could never advertise a repository, because the only place the broker builds a NodeManifest hardcoded the field:

// crates/broker/src/runtime/init.rs
tags: None,
repo_keys: None,      // <-- no configuration surface at all

The manifest is only ever constructed in-process — no env var, file, or stdin path deserializes one — and the broker's complete node-config surface was AGENT_RELAY_NODE_HARNESSES and AGENT_RELAY_NODE_MAX_AGENTS. A search for any env var matching [A-Z_]*REPO[A-Z_]* across crates/ returned nothing.

Everything downstream was already plumbed: protocol.rs carries repo_keys, node_control.rs forwards it into registration, and fleet_wire.rs asserts the wire accepts public keys and rejects private paths. Only the producer could not populate it, so a broker-served node was permanently ineligible for any repo-qualified placement.

Impact this unblocks

sf-mini runs via broker init, reports tags: [], and has the factory repo checked out — it simply had no way to say so. It is not alone: all five spawn-capable nodes online in rw_7ccfea89 (sf-mini, finn-mini, daytona-1538-verify-0817b, cloud-3061-repro-0817, cloud-3129-ctrl-3) report tags: [], so no node in the workspace can be selected for a repo-qualified placement at all. A Factory dispatch carrying repo: AgentWorkforce/factory had nowhere to land:

{"issue":"409","agents":["ar-409-impl-factory"],"phase":"dispatching",
 "heldForMs":1800091,"holdTimeoutMs":1800000,"reason":"agentless-slot-past-deadline"}
[factory] released a dispatch lifecycle that never placed an agent

Switching that host to the agent-relay node up path (which does support repoPaths) is not a workaround: it was deliberately moved off it because node up inside a git repo rewrites the repo pin (#1432 item 4) and previously left the node silently offline in this workspace for 18 days.

The change

node_capacity_repos() reads AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS as a comma-separated, trimmed, order-preserving, de-duplicated list, mirroring node_capacity_harnesses() exactly. bootstrap_node_manifest uses it instead of None.

Two deliberate decisions:

  • Absent yields None, not Some([]). Every broker-served node in the fleet today has no such variable set, and Some([]) is forwarded by build_node_register as an authoritative clear. Conflating the two would have turned a no-op upgrade into a fleet-wide retraction. A value that is present but contributes no entries still yields Some([]), which is how an operator deliberately retracts a stale advertisement.
  • The producer does not validate. build_node_register already treats the Fleet wire as a privacy boundary and drops anything that is not a bare owner/name key. A second copy of that rule would sit one edit away from disagreeing with the one that actually guards the wire.

Tests

Four added, all in runtime::init::tests:

  • bootstrap_node_manifest_advertises_no_repos_when_env_is_absent — the backward-compatibility guard
  • bootstrap_node_manifest_advertises_configured_repo_keys — trimmed, order-preserving, de-duplicated
  • bootstrap_node_manifest_forwards_an_explicitly_empty_value_as_a_clear — present-but-empty is distinct from absent
  • configured_repo_paths_never_reach_the_fleet_wire — pipes a path-shaped env value through the real producer into build_node_register and asserts no absolute path is serialized, so the two halves are proven to compose rather than each being correct alone

Ablation

With only repo_keys: node_capacity_repos() reverted to None and the tests untouched:

bootstrap_node_manifest_advertises_configured_repo_keys            ... FAILED
bootstrap_node_manifest_forwards_an_explicitly_empty_value_as_a_clear ... FAILED
configured_repo_paths_never_reach_the_fleet_wire                  ... FAILED
bootstrap_node_manifest_advertises_no_repos_when_env_is_absent    ... ok

Three fail, and the backward-compat guard correctly still passes — it asserts the reverted behaviour.

A defect the ablation caught

The ablation run also failed node_id_env_guard_restores_original_node_env, a pre-existing test that had passed moments earlier. That was order-dependence I introduced: I had given the new guard its own mutex. set_var rewrites a process-global environ table, so mutating one key races a concurrent read of any other key — which is why this module already had a single lock. The new guard now takes NODE_ID_ENV_MUTEX, and the reason is recorded on the static so it is not re-split later. runtime::init was then run six consecutive times with no failures.

Reported by factory-lead-r4 while tracing why Cloud Factory dispatched work that never placed.

Pre-existing failures, baselined

The full -p agent-relay-broker --lib run reports 1024 passed, 5 failed. All five are spawner::tests::broker_hook_*, which shell out to a real git commit in a temp fixture. The identical five fail on unmodified origin/main in a clean worktree (5 passed; 5 failed of the broker_hook filter), so they are pre-existing and environmental, not introduced here. Baselined rather than assumed.

RelayFlow Proof

  • Change type: feature
  • RelayFlow case: 1622-broker-node-repo-keys

bootstrap_node_manifest is private, so nothing outside the crate can call it, and the contract is explicit that a unit test present only on the head cannot prove the base is broken. So the case builds agent-relay-broker from the target checkout and runs the real binary against a dependency-free stand-in for Relaycast's node-control endpoint, reading the node.register frame the broker actually puts on the wire. repo_keys is skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none", so the field is absent from that frame on base and present on head.

The observation is derived from the captured frame, never from RELAY_PR_PROOF_ARM — the arm only labels the record. A head build that failed to advertise would report absent and be rejected by the gate.

Verified locally on both arms before pushing:

Arm Checkout node.register Result
base a8d2cab09 (clean origin/main) no repo_keys field, despite AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS being set absent / broker_node_register_omits_repo_keys
head this branch "repo_keys":["AgentWorkforce/factory","AgentWorkforce/relay"] fixed / broker_node_register_advertises_sorted_repo_keys

The configured value is deliberately unsorted (AgentWorkforce/relay,AgentWorkforce/factory), so the head arm also demonstrates the canonical ordering.

This is the repository's first Rust proof case; both existing cases are TypeScript. The cold cargo build measured 4m18s locally, within the manifest's 1800s cap, but it is the dominant cost of each arm.

bootstrap_node_manifest hardcoded `repo_keys: None`, and the broker had no
configuration surface for it at all, so a node served by `broker init` could
never advertise a repository and was permanently ineligible for repo-qualified
placement — even with the checkout on its disk.

Read AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS as a trimmed, order-preserving, de-duplicated CSV,
mirroring node_capacity_harnesses(). Absent stays None so existing nodes are
unchanged; present-but-empty yields Some([]), which build_node_register already
forwards as an authoritative clear. Validation is left to build_node_register,
which is the wire's privacy boundary.

Closes #1622

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Broker initialization now reads AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS, normalizes and sorts repository keys, and advertises them in node manifests. Unit tests and a RelayFlow case validate absent, empty, invalid, and sorted values through the registration payload.

Changes

Broker repository capabilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest repository configuration
crates/broker/src/runtime/init.rs
The broker reads comma-separated repository keys, removes empty and duplicate entries, sorts the result, and assigns it to repo_keys.
Repository capability validation
crates/broker/src/runtime/init.rs, CHANGELOG.md
Tests serialize environment changes and validate absent values, explicit clearing, sorted output, and invalid paths. The changelog records the capability.
RelayFlow registration proof
tests/relayflows/cases/1622-broker-node-repo-keys/*
A local HTTP and WebSocket observer captures node.register frames. The proof case builds the broker, classifies base and head output, and records the result.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9a513

The broker now advertises configured repository keys, enabling repo-qualified placement. The change is mergeable with owner awareness that declared keys are not independently verified against checkouts and that removing or rolling back the advertisement may require an explicit empty configuration and restart.

I don't think this one holds, and I'd rather say so than quietly change it — please reopen if you disagree.

AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS is not implementation backstory here; it is the entire user-visible surface of the change. There is no command, flag, or API to name instead — setting that variable is the only way an operator uses this. Removing it leaves "nodes advertise repository keys", which states an outcome the reader cannot act on.

The convention in AGENTS.md asks for exactly this: "name the command, API, schema, or package touched and the practical effect." What it excludes is "issue/PR links, internal review notes, implementation backstory" — an operator-facing configuration variable is none of those.

The changelog itself is the stronger evidence. 26 existing entries name an environment variable, several as the configuration surface of the change being described:

  • `agent-relay node up` now binds an OS-assigned API port atomically by default … `AGENT_RELAY_BROKER_PORT` remains an explicit stable-port override.
  • … reducing dropped or batched leading characters during injection. Tunable via `RELAY_INJECT_RATE_MS` (default `5`; `0` restores the single bulk write).
  • The broker now reads its telemetry preference and machine-id files from `AGENT_RELAY_DATA_DIR` when set …

Each names the variable precisely because that is what a reader needs. The current bullet follows the same shape and already leads with the outcome rather than the mechanism:

Broker-served fleet nodes advertise repository keys from AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS, so they can be selected for repo-qualified placement instead of being permanently ineligible for it.

Leaving as-is. Happy to reword if a maintainer reads the convention differently.

Review follow-ups on #1623.

Sort the deduplicated keys. `nodeRepoKeys` in packages/fleet already returns
`Object.keys(...).sort()`, so leaving this in config order made the same set of
repositories advertise differently depending on which producer registered the
node. This is where it deliberately parts company with node_capacity_harnesses:
repo keys are a set, not a preference order.

Guard bootstrap_node_manifest_advertises_capacity_not_bare_spawn with the env
mutex. That test asserts nothing about repositories, but the function it calls
now reads AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS, so without the lock it raced the repo tests'
set_var — the same process-global environ hazard already documented on the
static.

The PR proof contract requires every feature PR to own one case. This one
builds agent-relay-broker from the TARGET checkout and runs the real binary
against a stand-in for Relaycast's node-control endpoint, reading the
`node.register` frame the broker actually puts on the wire.

That is the only honest observable here: bootstrap_node_manifest is private, so
nothing outside the crate can call it, and a unit test present only on the head
cannot prove the base is broken. `repo_keys` is
`skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none"`, so the field is simply absent from
the frame on base and present on head.

The observation is derived from the captured frame, never from
RELAY_PR_PROOF_ARM; the arm only labels the record. A head build that failed to
advertise would report `absent` and be rejected by the gate.

Verified locally on both arms: base (a8d2cab) emits no repo_keys field,
head emits ["AgentWorkforce/factory","AgentWorkforce/relay"] sorted from an
unsorted AGENT_RELAY_NODE_REPOS. Cold build 4m18s, inside the 1800s cap.

The Cloud proof sandbox ships no Rust toolchain, so the first run of this case
died on `spawnSync cargo ENOENT`. Both pre-existing cases are TypeScript, so
nothing had needed cargo there before, and the `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` action
the repo's other workflows use is a GitHub Action that cannot help inside the
sandbox.

Resolve cargo from PATH or ~/.cargo/bin, and install a minimal rustup stable
toolchain when neither has it. There is no pinned rust-toolchain.toml, so stable
matches what CI builds with.

Validated both paths: detection against a host that already has cargo, and the
install command in an isolated HOME, which lands cargo at ~/.cargo/bin/cargo
exactly where the runner looks.

Largely valid — pinned in 9a51368.

The reproducibility half is the part I think really bites: "today's stable is not the same rustc this proof will build with tomorrow" applies to a gate whose whole purpose is a reproducible red/green record. The installer now fetches a version-pinned, immutable rustup-init:

https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/archive/1.28.2/<target>/rustup-init

resolved from process.platform/process.arch, downloaded, chmod +x, executed, then removed. No mutable script is piped into a shell on any platform in that table. I verified the pinned URL returns 200 for both linux targets, and ran the exact command end-to-end in an isolated HOME — cargo lands at ~/.cargo/bin/cargo, which is where resolveCargo looks.

Two deliberate departures from your suggestion, both stated so a reviewer can overrule them:

The toolchain stays stable, not a pinned rustc. Every Rust workflow in this repository uses dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable, and there is no rust-toolchain.toml. Pinning a specific rustc here would prove the change against a compiler CI never builds with, which trades one reproducibility problem for a worse fidelity one. The pinned installer is the part that was genuinely unpinned.

An unrecognised platform still falls back to sh.rustup.rs, and logs that it did. A silently unprovable case is a worse failure than a mutable installer on a platform the target table does not yet cover — and the fallback is now visible in the log rather than implicit.

I did not add a checksum on top of the pinned URL. The archive path is immutable and served over TLS, so a checksum would mostly add a value that goes stale on every version bump. Happy to add one if you would rather have belt and braces.

Worth noting for context: this runner only executes inside the two Cloud proof sandboxes, which already run PR-authored code by design — the README says as much and asks a reviewer to inspect the runner. So the pin improves reproducibility and removes a mutable execution, but it is not the only thing standing between this PR and the sandbox.

- Around line 63-68: Update resolveCargo() so its Cargo probe uses the same
executable resolution and PATH configuration as build(), ensuring the returned
candidate is exactly the binary later passed to spawnSync. Resolve bare cargo to
an absolute path or apply build()’s prepended CARGO_HOME_BIN during probing,
while preserving validation of both candidate locations.

… as data

Review follow-ups on #1623.

- Bound both spawnSync calls. They block the event loop, so an unbounded child
  made the case unabortable from inside: no timer or Promise.race could fire and
  only the 1800s case budget could kill it, reporting a network stall as an
  undiagnosable infrastructure failure.

- Report a wrong-content head build as data, not a throw. The runner contract is
  explicit that a non-zero exit is an infrastructure failure that cannot prove
  anything, and the sibling `absent` branch was already handled as data. It now
  emits a distinct signature the gate rejects on mismatch, naming what was
  actually advertised.

- Pin rustup-init to an immutable archive URL instead of piping sh.rustup.rs.
  The toolchain stays `stable`, matching dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable used by
  every other Rust workflow here; an unrecognised platform still falls back and
  says so, because an unprovable case is worse than a mutable installer.

- Put only the SELECTED cargo's directory on PATH. Prepending ~/.cargo/bin
  unconditionally could let a rustup toolchain shadow a system cargo that
  resolveCargo had already chosen, building with a different rustc than the
  cargo invoked.

- Correct the stale ws-observer JSDoc: every HTTP request is answered with the
  Relaycast agent envelope, not `{}`.

Both arms re-verified locally: base absent, head fixed.

The version probes in resolveCargo were still unbounded spawnSync calls, which
is the same unabortable hazard the previous commit removed from the install and
build steps: `cargo --version` is not guaranteed instant, because a rustup shim
can fetch a toolchain over the network on first use.

Both probes now carry PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS. A timed-out probe sets `error`, which
the existing check already treats as "not usable", so a hung candidate falls
through to the install path instead of wedging the case.
