Summary

  • Add explicit organization, project, workstream, role, and objective inputs to agent-relay fleet spawn, the MCP spawn tool, and the Fleet DSL.
  • Publish those declared fields to the engine as agent metadata for every spawn path (node action.invoke, local /api/spawn, and the HTTP pre-registration fallback).
  • Use the initial task as the declared objective only when callers omit an explicit objective; never infer hierarchy from the agent name.

Why the agent.register frame is NOT touched

Do not "simplify" this by moving the declared fields onto the agent.register frame. That is where this PR started, and it is what turned CI red. Reading in order:

  1. The engine parses agent.register with a .strict() zod schema whose only keys are v/id/name/invocation_id/session_ref/resumableAgentWorkforce/relaycast, packages/types/src/fleet-wire.ts:203-213, consumed by parseFleetBrokerToRelaycastMessage (:392-413) in handleNodeControlMessage (packages/engine/src/engine/node.ts:1609-1623). Any extra key makes it reject the frame.
  2. This is not fixable by re-pinning: the schema is identical on the ref fleet-e2e.yml pins (v7.0.0, eb7563ff) and on relaycast main. Verified directly against a locally built engine at the pinned ref: an agent.register frame without metadata is accepted; the identical frame with metadata is rejected.
  3. The rejection does not fail fast. The engine replies with a freshly generated id (node.ts:1614-1622), and the broker correlates rejections by id (crates/broker/src/node_control.rs:1781), so the registration waiter is never failed and the spawn blocks for the full FLEET_AGENT_REGISTER_TIMEOUT = 30s (crates/broker/src/runtime/fleet.rs:17, awaited at :1484) before silently falling back to HTTP pre-registration.
  4. There is no way for the broker to detect an engine that would accept the key. The wire version is a frozen z.literal(1); accepted_capabilities is unread by the broker and, on the engine, marks every declared capability accepted: true unconditionally; and /health reports config.appSemver ?? config.appVersion ?? '0.1.0', a deployment placeholder — hosted answers 1.0.0 while a locally built v7.0.0 engine answers 0.1.0. A version gate keyed on that would read "old engine" forever.

So the declared fields are published over the REST agent API after registration succeeds — a transport every engine already accepts, as a read-merge-write that preserves the metadata the engine owns. The observable outcome is identical: the agent carries organization/project/workstream/role/objective in its engine metadata. This removes a cross-repo dependency rather than adding one.

The publish is detached onto its own task (runtime/fleet.rs::spawn_declared_metadata_publish). Both spawn call sites run inside the runtime event loop's inline handle_api_request await (runtime/event_loop.rs:336runtime/api.rs:290), where anything awaited stops the loop answering API requests or observing SIGTERM. A metadata field must not add to that. A failed publish never fails the spawn — the agent is registered and running either way — and is logged at error level rather than retried.

One publish mechanism, on both paths

Registration itself is untouched on both spawn paths. The node path registers through agent.register as before; the HTTP fallback registers through the ordinary cache-aware retry_agent_registration, which honours the SDK's cached token and rate-limit block. Both then publish the declared fields through the same publish_declared_metadata.

An earlier revision of this PR instead registered the fallback through a bespoke register_agent_token_with_metadata that called the REST API directly. That bypassed cached_agent_token and registration_block_remaining, so a name already seeded by preflight or an earlier spawn produced a 409 whose recovery rotated the token a live worker was using. That whole path — the create/merge/rotate sequence, its mutation guard, and its retry wrapper — is gone rather than patched: with metadata published separately there is no reason for registration to be metadata-aware at all.

Review fixes included

  • Declared fields are trimmed and blanks omitted at all three layers (CLI helper, Fleet DSL, broker), so an empty value cannot overwrite an engine-owned field through the merge.
  • A blank declared objective now falls back to the task, matching the broker's declared_string; ?? alone kept the blank, suppressed the fallback, and then dropped the key.
  • agent-relay fleet spawn no longer emits objective: undefined, which had made its Object.keys(...) > 0 guard permanently true.
  • Both spawn surfaces in packages/cli share one declaredWorkforceMetadata helper, and the MCP spawn handler adopts main's SpawnToolRequest/buildSpawnActionInput structure — its complexity warning is now gone rather than merely restored.

Verification

  • cargo test -p agent-relay-broker --lib — 952 passed, 0 failed.
  • npx vitest run --config vitest.e2e.config.ts (real relaycast engine at the pinned ref + two real brokers) — 29 passed, 4 skipped.
  • Focused TS: packages/cli/src/cli/commands/fleet.test.ts, packages/fleet/src, agent-relay-mcp.protocol.test.ts, agent-relay-mcp.startup.test.ts, registration-metadata.test.ts.
  • New end-to-end coverage, because nothing previously proved the feature's headline claim against a live engine:
    • declared workforce metadata reaches the engine as agent metadata — spawns with declared fields and polls the engine's agent record until they appear. Verified to discriminate: it fails against a broker built from origin/main (waitFor timed out (declared metadata published to the engine)) and passes against this branch.
    • a spawn that declares nothing gets no declared metadata — control arm; passes on both, so the test above cannot pass vacuously.

Related

Diagnosing the CI failures on this branch surfaced a production hazard that is not caused by this PR and is filed separately as #1511: an in-flight agent registration wedges the broker's event loop, and shutdown_runtime's mark_agent_offline/mark_offline calls have no timeout, so a broker whose engine stops answering cannot be gracefully stopped. Reproduced against origin/main with no metadata field present.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@khaliqgant, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 24 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Fleet spawn metadata is accepted through CLI, MCP, and Fleet DSL inputs. The broker derives and forwards the metadata. Relaycast registers or publishes it while preserving engine metadata and applying bounded retry rules. Tests cover normalization, propagation, registration, publication, and empty-input behavior.

Engine registration frames exclude declared metadata. Relaycast maps, merges, publishes, caches, and retries metadata-aware registrations.
Metadata publication validation
tests/e2e/fleet/fleet-e2e.test.ts, tests/e2e/fleet/harness.ts
End-to-end tests verify published metadata, task-based objective fallback, and the absence of fields when metadata is not declared.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0a6f7

The PR publishes declared workforce metadata through the supported spawn paths and is mergeable with owner awareness that the negative-case end-to-end test may mask engine lookup failures as metadata absence, reducing confidence in that specific regression check.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with metadata tucked tight,
Organization and role in the night.
Task becomes objective when none is declared,
Relay keeps the fields safely paired.
Blank values vanish, retries stay small—
Fleet hops onward, recording them all.

1013-1062: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the 409 merge and rotate branch.

The test covers the 200 path only. The 409 branch at lines 175-200 carries the risky behavior: it merges existing metadata, calls update_agent, then rotates the token. Add a test that returns 409 from POST /v1/agents, returns existing engine-owned metadata from GET /v1/agents/worker-a, and asserts that the update_agent body preserves the engine keys while applying the declared keys.

behavior for newly obtained tokens, using the existing AgentRegistrationClient

Apply the same fix in `@tests/e2e/fleet/fleet-e2e.test.ts` around lines 733 - 750:
The control-test assertions must reject failed spawns and stale fallback data.

Nitpick comments:
In `@crates/broker/src/relaycast/ws.rs`:
- Around line 1372-1400: Enable Tokio’s paused-time mode on the
metadata_registration_retries_a_failure_before_any_mutation test by adding
start_paused = true to its tokio::test attribute, preserving the existing
three-attempt behavior and register.assert_hits(3) assertion.
- Around line 1097-1107: In registration_metadata_error, retain
retry_after_secs: 60 for rate-limited registration failures and add a concise
comment documenting that the 60-second cooldown is fixed by the relaycast SDK
because it does not expose the engine’s Retry-After response header.

Fleet spawn callers can declare an agent's organization, project,
workstream, role, and objective through the CLI, the MCP `spawn` tool,
or the Fleet DSL. Those fields are published onto the agent's Relaycast
record so consumers can read a worker's identity instead of guessing it
from the agent's name. `objective` falls back to the spawn's task when
no explicit objective is given.

The declared fields deliberately do NOT ride the node-control
`agent.register` frame. The engine parses that frame with a `.strict()`
schema (relaycast packages/types/src/fleet-wire.ts) that rejects unknown
keys, and its rejection is sent with a freshly generated id, which the
broker's id-keyed correlation never matches — so the registration waiter
stalls for the full 30s FLEET_AGENT_REGISTER_TIMEOUT and then silently
falls back to HTTP pre-registration. Instead the fields are published
over the REST agent API once registration succeeds, on a detached task
so nothing is added to the spawn await that runs inline on the runtime
event loop. A failed publish never fails the spawn and is logged rather
than retried.

A serialization test asserts the exact key set of `agent.register` so
re-adding a field there fails loudly instead of resurfacing as a stall,
and a live-engine e2e proves the declared fields actually land.

@coderabbitai review

Automatic reviews were auto-paused on this PR after the commit churn, so no review round has run at the current head. Requesting one explicitly against 77c4de01e, which is the branch squashed to a single commit and rebased onto 3267b1b19.

Since the last review round the approach changed materially, so a fresh pass is worth it: declared metadata no longer rides the agent.register frame at all, and the bespoke metadata-aware HTTP registration (register_agent_token_with_metadata, its 409 create/merge/rotate recovery, its mutation guard and its retry wrapper) has been removed rather than patched — both spawn paths now register through the ordinary cache-aware call and publish declared fields through one publish_declared_metadata.

@khaliqgant I will review the current head of #1504. I will evaluate the revised registration flow and the detached publish_declared_metadata paths.

runtime::relaycast_events::tests::spawn_request_returns_the_verified_process_failure
flaked on Rust Tests (ubuntu-latest) (relay#1516): the fixture exits via
`sleep 0.05; exit 23` against a 250ms WORKER_SPAWN_STABILITY_WINDOW, leaving
only ~200ms of absolute margin on a loaded shared runner. #1504 was verified
by code inspection to be excluded as a cause: its only change on this code
path is two early-returning, detached spawn_declared_metadata_publish calls
that this fixture's declared-metadata-free input skips entirely.

Exit immediately instead of after a fixed sleep, so the full window is
margin. The production stability window is unchanged.
