Summary

  • add the new public @agent-relay/session workspace package
  • persist stable session identity, immutable ownership, the active actor, and the full steering audit trail through Relayhistory's existing ordered turns journal
  • select native continuation only for Claude-to-Claude sessions with a native resume ID; inject attributed journal context for cross-CLI and all non-Claude handoffs
  • provide best-effort turn capture, steering records, and Git commit attribution trailers
  • document the API and wire the package into root builds, typechecking, Vitest resolution, the lockfile, and the changelog

Why

Session continuity is a Relay platform concern. Keeping the SDK in this repository gives Workforce, ai-hist, OpenCode, Cursor, and other harness integrations one stable session and identity model instead of duplicating workforce-specific resume behavior.

Backend contract

The client uses RELAYHISTORY_URL and the existing Relayhistory endpoints:

  • POST /v1/sessions/:sessionId/turns
  • GET /v1/sessions/:sessionId/turns

Creation and steering are durable system turns carrying a complete RelaySession snapshot, so the conversation journal and identity audit trail remain one source of truth.

Validation

  • tsc -p packages/session/tsconfig.json
  • focused Vitest suite: 5/5 passed
  • built-package export smoke test
  • Prettier check
  • git diff --check
  • workspace discovery: npm ls @agent-relay/session --depth=0

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the @agent-relay/session package. It persists Relayhistory-backed sessions and turns, supports steering attribution and Git trailers, selects native Claude or portable journal resume, and integrates builds, tests, exports, publication, and documentation.

Changes

Session SDK

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session contracts and resume planning
packages/session/src/types.ts, packages/session/src/resume.ts, packages/session/src/index.ts
Defines session, actor, turn, steering, and resume types. Selects native Claude continuation or portable journal injection.

Session behavior validation
packages/session/src/client.test.ts
Tests persistence, resume behavior, steering, write errors, timeout handling, identity protection, journal escaping, bounded context, and concurrent writes.
Package distribution and workspace integration
packages/session/package.json, packages/session/tsconfig.json, vitest.config.ts, package.json, .github/workflows/publish.yml, packages/session/README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Adds package metadata, TypeScript and Vitest configuration, build and publication integration, SDK documentation, and the unreleased minor changelog entry.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to fbd9e

The new session SDK can make a session unusable when its journal contains a snapshot for another session, while concurrent writes may duplicate turn indexes, malformed turns may corrupt ordering, blank configuration may prevent authenticated access, and later snapshots may change ownership attribution. These correctness, availability, and auditability risks make the current revision unsafe to merge until fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit records each session turn,
While Relayhistory makes journals learn.
Claude resumes when native paths align,
Other harnesses read context by design.

This verifies that callers cannot mutate internal session state through a returned object.

Validate Relayhistory authentication in the mock.

Require the expected Relayhistory token header in the mock and assert it for the durable-write request.

28-37: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider bounding the transcript size.

buildContextPrompt serializes every turn with full content. A long-lived session produces a prompt that exceeds the context window of the receiving harness, and the request fails or the harness silently truncates the oldest turns.

Add a turn limit or a per-turn content cap, and state in the prompt that older turns were omitted.

- Add @agent-relay/session to the publish-packages release matrix; it
  was built and versioned but never uploaded to npm (chatgpt-codex-connector).
- Reject CR/LF in an actor email read from Relayhistory metadata so a
  tampered/foreign-written snapshot cannot forge extra `Co-authored-by`
  git trailers via getGitTrailers (coderabbitai, cubic-dev-ai).
- Escape `<` in the serialized journal so turn content containing the
  literal `</relayhistory-journal-json>` string cannot close the fence
  early and get read as top-level instructions (coderabbitai, cubic-dev-ai).
- Bound every Relayhistory HTTP call with a default 15s AbortSignal
  timeout (overridable via SessionClientOptions.timeoutMs) so a stalled
  connection can no longer hang createSession/resumeSession/etc
  indefinitely (coderabbitai).
- Isolate a throwing onWriteError observer in writeTurn's best-effort
  path so a broken observer can no longer make the write reject despite
  its documented best-effort contract (cubic-dev-ai).
- Accept an optional nativeResumeId on createSession so the native
  Claude-to-Claude resume path is reachable through the public API
  instead of only via direct backend metadata mutation, as the existing
  test did (chatgpt-codex-connector, cubic-dev-ai).
- Drop the unused `released_control` SteeringEvent action from the type
  and the parser's allowlist — recordSteering never produces it and
  there is no release-of-control flow yet, so the union promised an API
  that didn't exist (cubic-dev-ai).
- Replace the trailing-slash regex in normalizeBaseUrl with a manual
  scan; `\/+$` has no backtracking ambiguity (empirically linear on 50M
  chars) but trips CodeQL's polynomial-redos heuristic on library input,
  and this sidesteps the question instead of arguing with the scanner
  (CodeQL required check).

Declined (real but out of scope for this pass, replied on the PR
threads instead of resolving):
- Turn-index allocation races across concurrent SessionClient instances
  (client.ts:151/159, three duplicate findings) — #serialize only
  guards one instance; fixing this needs conditional-append or
  server-assigned-index support in Relayhistory itself, which this
  client package doesn't control.
- Unbounded journal size in buildContextPrompt (resume.ts:29) — real
  scaling concern for long-lived sessions, but the truncation/summarization
  strategy is a product decision, not a mechanical fix.

Comment thread packages/session/src/client.ts Outdated
khaliqgant and others added 2 commits August 13, 2026 13:01
Both were declined in the prior review-response commit as "real but out
of scope." On reflection there is a genuine, verifiable client-side fix
for each, so implementing rather than leaving them open:

- Turn-index collisions across concurrent SessionClient instances
  (client.ts:151/159, three duplicate findings): #serialize only orders
  writes within one instance, so two clients on different
  machines/processes can fetch the same nextTurnIndex and both POST it,
  silently destroying one write (backend replaces-by-index). Added
  #postTurnAtNextIndex: after posting, re-fetch and verify the write
  survived; on mismatch, retry into a fresh index (bounded at 3
  attempts) instead of returning success for a turn that's already
  gone. This is a mitigation, not a guarantee — true atomicity needs a
  conditional-write contract from Relayhistory that this client doesn't
  control, and a write landing after the verification read still wins
  silently. Documented that limitation in the method's own comment.
  Added a test with two racing clients sharing a barriered mock backend
  that forces an identical nextTurnIndex read, asserting both turns
  survive at distinct indices.

- Unbounded journal length in buildContextPrompt (resume.ts:29): a
  long-lived session could grow the injected prompt without limit.
  Added a 200k-character budget that keeps the most recent turns and
  drops the oldest first, noting the omission in the prompt; the full
  journal is untouched in Relayhistory (this function only bounds what
  gets injected). Configurable via a new maxJournalChars option for
  callers with tighter budgets. Added a test asserting the bound drops
  the oldest turn, keeps the latest, and notes the omission, plus that
  an ordinary session is untouched.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fresh bot review on the previous fix commit surfaced 4 more real
findings:

- Constructor option/env fallbacks used bare `??`, so a blank string
  (e.g. an unset CLI flag defaulting to '') would win over a valid env
  var instead of falling through to it — silently dropping auth
  (blank token) or the configured baseUrl. Added trimOrUndefined() and
  applied it to every baseUrl/token/cli/node option and env fallback in
  the constructor, matching this repo's established convention for
  blank-vs-absent CLI values.

- An invalid `timeoutMs` (negative, NaN, fractional, oversized) would
  make AbortSignal.timeout() throw synchronously inside every request.
  Added normalizeTimeoutMs() to clamp to the default on any
  non-finite/non-positive input and to Node's timer ceiling otherwise.

- parseWireTurn accepted a negative turnIndex and an arbitrary
  actorRole string; #fetchState didn't reject duplicate indexes after
  sorting. A malformed Relayhistory response could produce an ambiguous
  journal. Added an actorRole allowlist, a turnIndex >= 0 check, and a
  post-sort duplicate-index check that throws.

- sessionFromTurns took the *newest* parseable relaySession snapshot's
  owner. A later turn's snapshot claiming a different owner (corruption
  or a forged write) would silently move who git trailers and
  owner-vs-steerer attribution point at, contradicting the immutable-
  ownership guarantee this package advertises. Owner is now pinned to
  the earliest valid (creation) snapshot; later snapshots still supply
  activeActor/steeringLog/etc as before.

Added a test per fix: blank-option env fallback, invalid-timeoutMs
tolerance, rejection of each malformed-turn shape, and owner pinning
against a tampered later snapshot.

Comment thread packages/session/src/client.test.ts Fixed
CodeQL flagged url.startsWith('https://env.example') in the blank-option
fallback test added in 4be888f as an incomplete URL substring check —
it would also accept https://env.example.attacker.com. Switched to
new URL(url).origin for an exact match.

99-111: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Measure the budget with the same serialization used for the emitted journal.

boundTranscript measures compact JSON (JSON.stringify(all) and JSON.stringify(entry)). Line 62 emits JSON.stringify(transcript, null, 2) and then expands each < to \u003c. The emitted journal is therefore always larger than the measured size. Pretty printing adds a newline plus indentation for every field and object, so the injected text can exceed maxJournalChars by a wide margin for many small turns.

The bound still exists, so this is not a correctness break. However, the documented character budget is not the budget that is enforced.

♻️ Proposed change to measure the emitted form
-function boundTranscript(
-  turns: readonly Turn[],
-  maxChars: number
-): { transcript: TranscriptEntry[]; omittedCount: number } {
+/** Serialize exactly as `buildContextPrompt` emits, so the budget matches the output. */
+function serializeJournal(value: unknown): string {
+  return JSON.stringify(value, null, 2).replaceAll('<', '\\u003c');
+}
+
+function boundTranscript(
+  turns: readonly Turn[],
+  maxChars: number
+): { transcript: TranscriptEntry[]; omittedCount: number } {
@@
-  if (JSON.stringify(all).length <= maxChars) {
+  if (serializeJournal(all).length <= maxChars) {
     return { transcript: all, omittedCount: 0 };
   }
 
   const kept: TranscriptEntry[] = [];
-  let size = 2; // '[' + ']'
   for (let index = all.length - 1; index >= 0; index -= 1) {
     const entry = all[index]!;
-    const entrySize = JSON.stringify(entry).length + 1; // +1 for the separating comma
-    if (kept.length > 0 && size + entrySize > maxChars) break;
-    kept.unshift(entry);
-    size += entrySize;
+    if (kept.length > 0 && serializeJournal([entry, ...kept]).length > maxChars) break;
+    kept.unshift(entry);
   }

If the extra serialization cost is a concern, keep the incremental accounting and instead scale the per-entry measurement to the pretty-printed form.

364-387: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Note the retry cost on the write path.

Each #postTurnAtNextIndex attempt performs two GET requests and one POST. A conflict retry repeats all three. In the worst case a single writeTurn issues eight GET requests and four POST requests. writeTurn runs for every journal turn, so read volume against Relayhistory is at least doubled compared with a plain append.

Consider adding a metric or log for retry attempts so sustained contention is visible in production.

- Around line 467-475: Update the reverse turn scan that assigns session in
`#fetchState` to filter parsed relaySession snapshots by sessionId before
accepting one, matching the existing canonical-owner pass. Skip foreign or
corrupt snapshots so the scan can continue to an older snapshot belonging to the
requested session, while preserving the final missing-identity validation.
