Summary

  • RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID was only ever injected from the dispatcher-supplied CommitAttestation::session_ref, which no real spawn path populates — so across all live spawns it silently stayed unset and no commit ever carried a Session-Id: trailer.
  • The broker now derives the session reference from the harness session it actually resolves at spawn time (spec.session_id), falling back to the legacy CommitAttestation::session_ref hint only when the resolved value is unusable. This applies uniformly across all three WorkerRegistry::spawn call sites: the HTTP dispatch path (runtime/api.rs), maintenance/restart path (runtime/maintenance.rs), and the node-control action.invoke spawn path (runtime/relaycast_events.rs, which previously never even read the attestation envelope for the active-worker flow).
  • Injection is now observable when it doesn't happen: a tracing::warn! fires naming the worker whenever no usable session_ref is available, and a separate warning fires when a dispatcher-supplied CommitAttestation is present but incomplete/invalid, distinguishing the two failure modes named in the issue.
  • prepare-commit-msg hook installation and ledger-trailer stamping (Agent-Id/Sponsor-Id/Relay-Attestation) are now independent of Session-Id stamping — the hook installs whenever either is available, so an agent with only a resolved session (no ledger attestation) still gets its commits stamped.

Root cause (per the issue's ask)

CommitAttestation::session_ref was never populated by any spawn path the broker actually takes — it existed only as a dispatcher-optional hint. The fix stops depending on that hint as the primary source and instead sources RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID from the session the broker itself resolves for the spawned harness, which is always available for an active worker.

Verification

  • cargo test (full workspace: crates/broker + crates/relay-pty) — 964 + 222 passed, 0 failed.
  • crates/broker/src/worker.rs::spawned_worker_environment_and_commit_carry_resolved_session_id is a real black-box regression test at the process boundary: it spawns a genuine native child process via WorkerRegistry::spawn, has that live child write its own $RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID to a file, independently reads the live process's environment via ps ewww -p <pid> (the exact command form the issue's DoD specifies), and then verifies a real git commit made from inside that process carries Session-Id: <session> via git log -1 --format=%B. It does not use synthesized state — the environment observation and the git trailer are both read back from the live OS process/repo, matching the issue's "verify by reading the env of a live spawned process, not by reading the code" requirement.
    ps eww -p <pid>: <platform did not expose child env>; live child recorded RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID=session-live-spawn-1528
    git log -1 --format=%B: Session-Id: session-live-spawn-1528
    test worker::tests::spawned_worker_environment_and_commit_carry_resolved_session_id ... ok
    
    (macOS ps does not expose a child's env block to a non-root parent, which the test documents and only hard-asserts on Linux; the in-process file write is the platform-independent proof of the live env value, and it matches what a Linux ps eww will show in CI.)
  • cargo fmt --check — clean.

Definition of done

  • A newly spawned agent has RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID set in its environment (verified against a live process, not code reading).
  • A commit made by that agent carries a Session-Id: git trailer (verified via git log --format=%B).
  • When session_ref is genuinely unavailable, that is logged (tracing::warn!) rather than silently skipped.
  • factory#260 can demonstrate a real session_ref on a published PR — this is downstream of this fix shipping; unblocks once merged and released.

Closes #1528.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The broker extracts optional commit attestations, derives session IDs from effective harness sessions, injects attribution metadata into spawned workers, and appends session trailers to Git commits. Spawn and restart paths pass the new optional attestation argument.

Changes

Worker session attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attestation extraction and spawn input
crates/broker/src/types.rs, crates/broker/src/runtime/relaycast_events.rs, crates/broker/src/runtime/api.rs, crates/broker/src/runtime/maintenance.rs
Spawn handling extracts attestations from supported payload locations, logs malformed values, and passes valid attestations to WorkerRegistry::spawn. Other spawn paths pass no attestation.
Forwarding Git hook set
crates/broker/src/spawner.rs
The broker installs forwarding hooks for standard Git hooks. The hooks append session-only or full attestation trailers and preserve repository hooks. Setup failures return errors from hook creation and warnings during spawning.
Worker environment propagation
crates/broker/src/worker.rs, crates/broker/src/pty_worker.rs, CHANGELOG.md
Worker spawning clears inherited attribution values, resolves session metadata, configures temporary hooks, applies the child environment, and validates session trailers. The changelog records the patch changes.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 75525

The change stamps resolved harness sessions on spawned agents and preserves commit-trailer behavior across the supported spawn paths; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

2442-2575: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the child lifetime and the polling loops.

The test relies on sleep 30 plus two 5-second polling loops. On a loaded CI runner the commit poll can expire before git commit finishes, which produces a flaky failure. Consider raising the poll budget for the commit assertion, or having the script signal completion with a marker file that the test waits on before reading the log.

Also confirm that release("attested-native-worker") runs even when an assertion fails. A panic before that line leaves the sh child alive until its sleep 30 expires.

Add coverage for the other two attestation locations.

The helper reads three locations. The tests cover only /metadata/attestation. Add cases for /agent/metadata/attestation and the top-level attestation key so a future change to the lookup order fails a test.

…rom failing spawn

Addresses two review findings on the RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID fix:

- codex (P1): core.hooksPath replaces git's entire hook lookup, not just
  prepare-commit-msg. Pointing it at the broker's temp directory silently
  disabled every other hook a repository relies on (pre-commit, commit-msg,
  etc.) for the whole lifetime of an attested spawn. The broker now installs
  its forwarding script under every standard client-side hook name so a
  same-named repository hook still fires; only prepare-commit-msg also
  stamps trailers.
- coderabbitai (Major): self.commit_hooks_dir()? propagated a hook-directory
  creation/write failure out of WorkerRegistry::spawn, so a read-only or
  full TMPDIR would fail the entire worker spawn. Every other attribution
  failure in this code path is best-effort-only; hook installation now
  matches that by logging a warning and continuing without commit trailers.

Adds a regression test proving a repository's pre-commit hook still rejects
a commit while the broker's attestation hooksPath is active, and a test
proving write_broker_git_hooks reports (rather than panics on) an unwritable
target.

Addresses further review feedback on the RELAY_ATTEST_SESSION_ID fix:

- coderabbitai: GIT_HOOK_NAMES omitted the documented post-index-change
  hook (git 2.23.0+), so it silently stopped firing during an attested
  spawn's index updates. Added.
- cubic (P3): Spawner::commit_hooks_dir and WorkerRegistry::commit_hooks_dir
  duplicated the same lazy-tempdir-creation logic. Extracted the shared
  behavior into spawner::resolve_commit_hooks_dir(&mut Option<TempDir>),
  called from both.
- cubic (P3): split the single bundled CHANGELOG bullet into one bullet per
  user-visible change, per this repo's changelog convention.

The other two cubic findings on this run (worker.rs:1116 hooksPath scope,
CHANGELOG bundling) restate the two issues already fixed in a3cfee5 and
this commit respectively.
Manual end-to-end verification of the post-index-change forwarder (added in
the prior commit) found a real bug: if core.hooksPath ever resolves back to
the broker's own hooks directory while RELAY_ATTEST_BROKER_HOOK_PATH is
absent or stale — e.g. a prior spawn persisted hooksPath into the
repository's actual .git/config instead of only supplying it through the
ephemeral GIT_CONFIG_* env override — the forwarder execs itself and
recurses forever, hanging the commit (and the worker) indefinitely.

Compare the resolved repo_hook path against $0 (the script's own invoked
path) as the authoritative, self-contained guard: it needs no externally
supplied value, so a missing/misconfigured RELAY_ATTEST_BROKER_HOOK_PATH can
no longer produce infinite self-exec. Keeps the existing directory-based
check as a fast early exit.

Adds a regression test bounded by a 10s timeout so a reintroduced hang fails
the test instead of stalling the CI runner; verified it actually reproduces
the hang against the pre-fix script (reverted the $0 check locally, test run
stalled past its bound) before restoring the fix.

…kable test timeout

Addresses further cubic review feedback:

- Use `-ef` (same file, by device+inode) instead of a `$repo_hook != $0`
  string compare for the self-exec guard. A relative or symlinked alias of
  the broker's own hooks directory would previously exec the broker's own
  hook a second time under a path that looks different textually,
  double-stamping commit trailers.
- Add the four git-p4 client-side hooks (p4-changelist,
  p4-prepare-changelist, p4-post-changelist, p4-pre-submit) to
  GIT_HOOK_NAMES for the same reason as the other standard hooks.
- Rewrite the self-exec regression test to run git via
  tokio::process::Command::kill_on_drop(true) instead of
  tokio::task::spawn_blocking. Tokio cannot abort a blocking task, so if the
  guard ever regresses again the previous version's timeout would report a
  failure but leave the recursive git process running in the background;
  kill_on_drop makes the timeout an actual bound on the child process.
