two install-path fixes that bit on first 1.30.0 upgrade: - pin node by absolute path in launchd plist / systemd unit. shebang's /usr/bin/env node resolved against the service environment PATH and picked up system Node 22.x, which lacks node:sqlite (experimental) → daemon died with ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE. process.execPath now goes first, so the daemon always runs under the same Node that ran claudemesh install. - tear down the old daemon before bootstrapping. claudemesh install on a machine with an already-running daemon hit Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error (launchctl refuses to re-bootstrap a loaded unit + old daemon held the singleton lock). Now we run launchctl bootout (systemd: systemctl --user stop) first, plus SIGTERM to any orphan pid in daemon.pid, so subsequent installs replace cleanly. both fixes apply to darwin and linux paths. windows path is unchanged — it doesn't have a service-install today (daemon-install-service errors with "unsupported platform" on win32).

1.30.1 (2026-05-04) — daemon install upgrade-safe + node-pinned
Two install-path fixes that bit on first user upgrade:
- Pin
nodeby absolute path in the launchd plist / systemd unit. The bin script's#!/usr/bin/env nodeshebang resolves against the service environment's PATH, which on macOS launchd defaults to/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin. That picks up whatever Node is installed system-wide instead of the Node that ranclaudemesh install— and Node 22.x doesn't exposenode:sqlitewithout the experimental flag, so the daemon crashed withdb open failed: ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE. Now we writeprocess.execPathas the first ProgramArgument so the daemon always runs under the same Node that installed it. - Tear down the old daemon before re-bootstrapping.
claudemesh installon a machine that already has a running daemon was hittingBootstrap failed: 5: Input/output errorbecause launchctl refuses to bootstrap a unit that's already loaded, and the old daemon process held the singleton lock. The install path now runslaunchctl bootout(orsystemctl --user stop) first, plus aSIGTERMto any orphaned daemon pid in~/.claudemesh/daemon/ daemon.pid, so subsequent installs replace cleanly.
1.30.0 (2026-05-04) — per-session broker presence
Sprint A Phase 3. Two claudemesh launch sessions in the same cwd now
see each other in peer list. Each launched session has a long-lived
broker presence row owned by the daemon, identified by a per-launch
ephemeral keypair vouched by the member's stable key (OAuth-refresh-vs-
access shape).
What landed
- broker
session_hello— new WS message type. Validates a parent-vouchedparent_attestation(≤24h TTL, ed25519 signature by the parent member) plus a session-keyed signature on the hello itself. Inserts a presence row keyed onsessionPubkeybutmember_idfrom the parent, so member-targeted operations stay unchanged. Older brokers replyunknown_message_type— newer clients drop back to the previous behavior. - daemon
SessionBrokerClient— slim WS variant ofDaemonBrokerClient. Presence-only, no outbox drain. Lifetime tied to a registry hook: register opens it, deregister/reaper closes it. Reconnect with exponential backoff up to 30 s. - session-registry hooks —
setRegistryHooks({ onRegister, onDeregister })inapps/cli/src/daemon/session-registry.ts. Hook errors are caught so they never throttle the registry. SessionInfo gains an optionalpresencefield carrying the per-launch keypair- attestation.
- IPC
POST /v1/sessions/register— accepts an optionalpresenceblock on the body (session_pubkey,session_secret_key,parent_attestation). Older payloads continue to work. claudemesh launch— generates an ed25519 session keypair and a 12 h parent attestation per launch (mesh secret key signs it), forwards both to the daemon underbody.presence. Per-session presence is always on; older brokers that don't recognizesession_helloreplyunknown_message_typeand the daemon quietly drops the per-session WS for that mesh — the regular member-keyed WS still covers all functionality, the only loss is sibling-session visibility on that mesh.- latent 1.29.0 bug fix —
claudemesh launchreferencedclaudeSessionIdbefore itsconstdeclaration further down the file, hitting the temporal dead zone →ReferenceErrorsilently swallowed by the surrounding catch. Net: the IPC session-token registration has been failing every launch since 1.29.0, falling every session back to user-level scope. Hoisted the declaration up so the registration actually runs.
Sequencing
The broker side ships first and bakes for ~24 h. Older CLIs continue working unchanged (no per-session WS), and the protocol is purely additive on the wire.
Verification (smoke)
In two shells, both cd ~/Desktop/foo:
$ claudemesh launch --name SessionA -y # shell 1
$ claudemesh launch --name SessionB -y # shell 2
In a third shell:
$ claudemesh peer list --json --mesh foo \
| jq '.[] | {n: .displayName, c: .cwd}'
{ "n": "SessionA", "c": "/.../foo" } ← persistent, not query-induced
{ "n": "SessionB", "c": "/.../foo" }
Inside SessionA, peer list --mesh foo now lists SessionB. Kill
SessionB; within ≤30 s the reaper drops it from peer list.
Out of scope (deferred)
- Attestation auto-refresh — current 12 h TTL is comfortably
longer than typical sessions; if a session lives past the TTL and
the WS reconnects after expiry, the broker rejects with
expiredand the SessionBrokerClient quiets. Workaround:claudemesh launchagain. Auto-refresh queued for 1.31.0+ alongside HKDF identity. - Per-session policy DSL — the per-launch WS could carry per-session capabilities later. Out of scope here.
- Cross-machine session sync — waits on 2.0.0 HKDF identity.
- Launch-wizard refactor — bumped to 1.31.0 to keep this release scoped to presence.
1.29.0 (2026-05-04) — per-session IPC tokens + auto-scoping
Sprint A Phase 2. Every claudemesh launch-spawned session gets a
unique 32-byte cryptographic token that the daemon resolves on every
IPC call to identify which session is talking to it. CLI invocations
from inside that session auto-scope to its workspace instead of
aggregating across every joined mesh.
What landed
services/session/token.ts— mint random 32-byte token, write to<tmpdir>/session-token(mode 0o600). Reader pulls fromCLAUDEMESH_IPC_TOKEN_FILEenv (path, not value, to keep the secret offps eww). OptionalCLAUDEMESH_IPC_TOKENdirect-value escape hatch for tests.daemon/session-registry.ts— in-memoryMap<token, SessionInfo>keyed by token, secondary index by sessionId. 30 s reaper drops entries whose pid is dead; 24 h hard TTL ceiling guards forgotten sessions.- IPC routes —
POST /v1/sessions/register,DELETE /v1/sessions/:token,GET /v1/sessions/me,GET /v1/sessions. - IPC auth middleware — parses
Authorization: ClaudeMesh-Session <hex>and attaches the resolvedSessionInfoto request context. Layered on top of the existing local-token auth (used for TCP loopback). Backward-compatible: tokenless callers behave exactly as before. services/session/resolve.ts— CLI-side helper that asks the daemonGET /v1/sessions/meonce per process and caches the result. Used by verbs that iterate meshes client-side.launch.ts— mints a token, registers it with the daemon, setsCLAUDEMESH_IPC_TOKEN_FILEon the spawnedclaudeenv. Token file lives in the same tmpdir as the session config; gets shredded on cleanup. The daemon's reaper handles dead sessions.peers.ts— selection precedence is now--meshflag → session token's mesh → all joined meshes.
Server-side scoping
Every read route that takes ?mesh=<slug> (peers, state, memory,
skills) now uses a meshFromCtx() helper: explicit query/body wins,
session default fills in when missing. Write routes (set state,
remember, deregister, profile-update) follow the same pattern. Pass
--mesh to override.
Verified end-to-end
| Setup | peer list returns |
|---|---|
| no token | 3 meshes' peers (aggregate, unchanged) |
| token registered for prueba1 | 4 peers, all mesh: prueba1 |
Out of scope (deferred)
- SQLite persistence for the registry — restart loses it; the reaper (or callers re-registering) covers most cases.
SO_PEERCRED-strict pid binding — needs a tiny native binding.- Per-session policy DSL.
- Cross-machine session sync (waiting on 2.0.0 HKDF identity).
1.28.0 (2026-05-04) — bridge tier deletion + daemon-policy flags
First Sprint A drop on the way to v2 thin-client. Two structural changes:
Bridge tier deletion
services/bridge/{client,server,protocol}.tsremoved (~600 LoC). These were the per-mesh push-pipe sockets that the legacy MCP shim used to hold open; the 1.24.0 shim rewrite stopped opening them but the orphaned client kept being called as a "warm path" tier between daemon and cold.tryBridge()always returnednullin production for the last seven releases — pure dead code.- Each verb now has two paths only: daemon (with auto-spawn) → cold WS. Same pattern shipped in 1.27.3, simpler to follow.
commands/{peers,send,broker-actions}.ts— bridge-tier blocks removed; orphanedunambiguousMeshhelper removed from broker-actions.
--no-daemon and --strict flags
New per-process daemon policy:
| Flag | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (default) | probe → auto-spawn → retry → cold fallback |
--strict |
probe → auto-spawn → retry → error if all fail. No cold fallback. |
--no-daemon |
skip daemon entirely → straight to cold path. For sandboxed CI / scripts that don't want a daemon. |
Env equivalents: CLAUDEMESH_STRICT_DAEMON=1, CLAUDEMESH_NO_DAEMON=1.
Flag wins over env. --no-daemon and --strict are mutually
exclusive (--no-daemon wins if both passed).
Strict-mode enforcement lives at withMesh (the cold-path entry
point) so a single chokepoint covers every verb. Under --strict,
the lifecycle's misleading "using cold path" warning is suppressed
so the user sees one clean error instead of a confusing two-step.
What's not in this release (planned for the rest of Sprint A)
- 1.29.0: per-session IPC tokens + auto-scoping
- 1.30.0: launch wizard refactor
- 1.31.0: setup wizard refactor
- 1.32.0: full mesh→workspace public-surface rename
- 2.0.0 (separate sprint): HKDF cross-machine identity (security-reviewed)
1.27.3 (2026-05-04) — self-healing daemon lifecycle
The CLI now auto-recovers from a dead daemon on every invocation instead of silently mis-routing through a stale socket.
What changed
- New
services/daemon/lifecycle.ts— single helper that probes the IPC socket via/v1/version(instead of trustingexistsSync), cleans up staledaemon.sock/daemon.pidfiles, and auto-spawns a detachedclaudemesh daemon upunder a file-lock when the daemon is missing. - Polls for socket liveness up to a budget (3 s for ad-hoc verbs,
10 s for
claudemesh launch) before falling through. - Recently-failed marker (
~/.claudemesh/daemon/.spawn-failure, 30 s TTL) prevents thundering-herd retries when the daemon crash-loops at startup. - Spawn-lock (
~/.claudemesh/daemon/.spawn.lock) ensures concurrent CLI invocations share one spawn attempt instead of racing. - Per-process result cache — a script doing 50 sends pays the spawn cost at most once, not 50 times.
- Recursion guard via
CLAUDEMESH_INTERNAL_NO_AUTOSPAWN=1env (set on the spawned daemon's env) so nested CLI calls inside the daemon process don't re-trigger spawn.
User-visible behavior
peer list,send,state get, etc. now restart the daemon automatically when invoked while the daemon is down.- One-line stderr info on auto-restart:
[claudemesh] info daemon restarted automatically (took 615ms). - Cold-path fallback fires only when auto-spawn fails or is
suppressed by the recently-failed marker; in those cases a
warnline points at the daemon log.
Bug fixed
claudemesh launch's ensureDaemonRunning previously checked only
existsSync(SOCK_FILE) and returned early on a stale socket left by
a crashed daemon — silently breaking new sessions. Now delegates to
the lifecycle helper which probes the socket and recovers.
What's not in this patch
--strictand--no-daemonflags (deferred to D in 1.28.0).- Lazy-loading of cold-path code (deferred to 1.28.0).
- Per-session IPC tokens (deferred to 1.28.0 alongside D's thin-client conversion).
1.27.2 (2026-05-04) — skill: full-flag launch templates
Documentation-only ship. skills/claudemesh/SKILL.md gains a canonical
"fully-populated spawn" recipe under "Wizard-free spawn templates" —
every flag set explicitly, with a per-position annotation table — so
agents and humans copy-paste a known-good kitchen-sink command instead
of stitching one together from the flag table.
Also corrects two pre-existing inaccuracies:
--system-promptwas documented as forwarding toclaude --append-system-prompt. It actually forwards toclaude --system-prompt(overrides the default; pass a string, not a path).-qwas listed as a synonym for--quiet. The argv parser treats short flags (-X) and long flags (--xyz) as separate keys; only--quietis wired.-qis currently a no-op.
Carries a note that all twelve launch flags are end-to-end wired only as
of claudemesh-cli@1.27.1.
1.27.1 (2026-05-04) — wire missing launch flags
Fixes a wiring bug in apps/cli/src/entrypoints/cli.ts where six flags
declared on LaunchFlags were silently dropped on the way to
runLaunch. They were honored inside runLaunch if they ever arrived,
but the four runLaunch({...}) call sites in the CLI entrypoint each
forwarded a hardcoded 5-key subset (mesh, name, join, yes, resume).
Now forwarded at every entry point (bare command, bare invite URL,
launch/connect, workspace launch):
--role <r>— sets session role; previously only settable via wizard.--groups "frontend:lead,reviewers"— comma-separated groups string.--message-mode push|inbox|off— message delivery mode.--system-prompt <text>— passes through toclaude.--continue— passes through toclaudeto continue last session.--quiet— actually suppresses the wizard and banner now. Previously it was a complete no-op flag at the CLI layer.
No internal logic changed; the launch internals already read these. This is a pure plumbing fix.
1.27.0 (2026-05-04) — state + memory through the daemon, workspace alias
Two more verb families now route through the local daemon's IPC for the
warm path: state get/set/list and remember/recall/forget. Same
pattern as 1.25.0 for peers/skills — try the socket first (~1 ms warm),
fall back to the cold WS path when the daemon isn't running.
What changed
claudemesh state get|set|listroute through/v1/statewhen the daemon socket is present.--mesh <slug>forwards as a query/body field. Single-mesh daemons auto-pick; multi-mesh daemons require--meshforstate set.claudemesh remember,claudemesh recall,claudemesh forget(andclaudemesh memory <sub>) route through/v1/memory. Aggregates across attached meshes forrecall; requires--meshforremember/forgetwhen ambiguous.- New
claudemesh workspace <verb>alias surface — early teaser for the 1.28.0 mesh→workspace public rename. Mirrorslist,info,create,join,delete,rename,share,launch,overview. No-argclaudemesh workspacefalls through tolaunch(same as bareclaudemesh).
IPC surface
GET /v1/state— list (?mesh=<slug>filter) or single key lookup (?key=<k>&mesh=<slug>). Returns 404 with{ error: "state_not_found" }when missing.POST /v1/state—{ key, value, mesh? }. 400 + attached list when multi-mesh and nomeshfield.GET /v1/memory?q=<query>&mesh=<slug>— recall. Aggregates across meshes, each match tagged with itsmeshfield.POST /v1/memory—{ content, tags?, mesh? }. Returns{ id, mesh }.DELETE /v1/memory/:id?mesh=<slug>— forget.ipc_featuresgainsstateandmemorykeys.
Why this matters
State and memory were the last verbs that opened a fresh broker WS on every invocation. Now they reuse the daemon's existing connection — the warm-path latency cliff (~150 ms cold WS handshake → ~1 ms IPC) extends to two more flows agents poll heavily.
The workspace alias is cosmetic but lays the groundwork for 1.28.0's
documented rename without breaking anyone's muscle memory.
1.26.0 (2026-05-04) — multi-mesh daemon
The daemon now attaches to all joined meshes simultaneously by
default. Ambient mode (raw claude after claudemesh install) finally
delivers what v2.0.0 promised: one daemon process, one PID per user,
all your meshes available concurrently with no manual switching.
What changed
claudemesh daemon up(no--meshflag) attaches to every joined mesh. OneDaemonBrokerClientper mesh, all in one process. Pass--mesh <slug>to scope to a single mesh (legacy mode).daemon_startedlog line now reportsmeshes: [...](array) instead ofmesh: <slug>(single).- Outbox dispatch picks the broker via the
meshcolumn added in 1.25.0. Legacy rows (mesh=NULL) fall back to the only broker if there's exactly one; otherwise mark dead with a clear error.
IPC surface
GET /v1/peersaggregates across all attached meshes; each peer record gains ameshfield.?mesh=<slug>narrows server-side.GET /v1/skillsaggregates similarly.GET /v1/skills/:namewalks attached meshes and returns the first match (or?mesh=<slug>to scope).POST /v1/sendrequiresmeshfield when the daemon is attached to multiple meshes; auto-picks the only one in single-mesh mode. Returns 400 with the attached mesh list if ambiguous.POST /v1/profileaccepts optionalmeshfield — without it, applies the update to every attached mesh (presence stays consistent across meshes by default).
CLI integration
claudemesh send --mesh <slug>forwards the mesh in the daemon request body. The CLI'sexpectedMeshargument was previously informational; now it's authoritative for routing.claudemesh peer listalready aggregates because the IPC endpoint does — no change needed in the verb.- Verified end-to-end:
claudemesh send --mesh Aandclaudemesh send --mesh Bfrom the same CLI invocation both reachoutbox.status=donewith broker-issued IDs, dispatched to the correct broker per row.
What this unlocks
Ambient mode for users with N meshes. Run claudemesh install once,
then claude from anywhere — channel push, slash commands, and
resources flow through the daemon for every joined mesh
simultaneously. No more "which mesh is the daemon attached to?"
mental overhead.
1.25.0 (2026-05-04) — Sprint 4 outbound routing + ambient mode
Daemon outbound routing (Sprint 4)
The v0.9.0 daemon shipped outbox infrastructure but its drain worker
was a placeholder — every queued send went out as a broadcast (*).
That's now fixed. Outbound resolution and crypto_box encryption
happen at IPC accept time, then the drain worker just forwards the
already-encrypted ciphertext to the broker.
- Outbox schema additions (additive, NULL allowed for legacy rows):
mesh,target_spec,nonce,ciphertext,priority. Existing v0.9.0 rows keep draining via the broadcast fallback. - IPC
/v1/sendresolves the user-friendlyto(display name, hex prefix, full pubkey,@group,*,#topicId) into a broker-formattarget_specand encrypts the plaintext usingcrypto_boxfor DMs (against recipient pubkey + sender session secret) or base64 for broadcast / topic / group targets. - Drain worker reads
target_spec,nonce,ciphertext,priorityfrom the row and dispatches as-is. No per-row resolution at drain time means peer-presence flicker doesn't affect in-flight sends. - Pubkey prefix matching: 16+ char hex prefix matches against
peer.pubkeyandpeer.memberPubkeyof connected peers. Ambiguous prefixes return 502 with a clear error.
Smoke test verified end-to-end: claudemesh send --self <prefix> "..."
through daemon resolves, encrypts, and delivers. Outbox reaches
status=done with broker-issued broker_message_id.
CLI thin-client routing extensions
claudemesh peer list and claudemesh skill list/get now route
through the daemon when its socket is present, mirroring the
trySendViaDaemon pattern from send.ts. Same fall-back chain:
daemon → bridge → cold path.
New helpers in services/bridge/daemon-route.ts:
tryListPeersViaDaemon()tryListSkillsViaDaemon()tryGetSkillViaDaemon(name)
Ambient mode
After claudemesh install (which now installs and starts the daemon
service), raw claude Just Works for the daemon's attached mesh.
No claudemesh launch ceremony needed for the common case. Channel
push, slash commands, and resources flow through the daemon-backed
MCP shim.
claudemesh launch remains the override path: explicit mesh
selection, fresh display name, headless modes, system-prompt injection,
or multi-mesh users who want to spawn into a non-default mesh.
Roadmap spec
.artifacts/specs/2026-05-04-v2-roadmap-completion.md documents
exactly what's done vs. what remains for the full v2.0.0 endpoint:
multi-mesh daemon (1.26.0), full CLI-to-thin-client conversion
(1.27.0), mesh→workspace rename (1.28.0), HKDF identity (2.0.0).
1.24.0 (2026-05-03) — daemon required + thin MCP shim
The architectural convergence v0.9.0 was building toward.
Daemon promoted from optional to required (for in-Claude-Code use)
The CLI itself (claudemesh send, peer list, inbox, vault, watch,
webhook, etc.) keeps working without a daemon. But the MCP server —
which provides Claude Code's mid-turn channel push, slash commands, and
resource browser — now requires the daemon. There is no fallback.
claudemesh installauto-installs and starts the daemon service (launchd / systemd-user) for the user's primary mesh. Pass--no-serviceto opt out.claudemesh launchensures the daemon is running before spawning Claude Code; spawns it foreground if absent.- The MCP shim probes
~/.claudemesh/daemon/daemon.sockat boot. If missing after a 2s grace window, it bails with actionable instructions ("runclaudemesh daemon up --mesh <slug>").
MCP server: 979 → ~300 LoC of push-pipe code
apps/cli/src/mcp/server.ts is now a thin daemon-SSE translator. It
no longer holds a broker WebSocket, decrypts messages, manages mesh
state, or runs reconnection logic. All of that is the daemon's job.
- Subscribes to daemon
/v1/eventsSSE; translates eachmessageevent into anotifications/claude/channelemit. - Sources mesh-published skills via daemon
/v1/skillsIPC for ListPrompts / GetPrompt / ListResources / ReadResource. - ListTools returns
[](the CLI is the API, taught via the bundled skill). - The mesh-service proxy mode (
claudemesh-cli --service <name>, the sub-MCP-server for proxying a deployed mesh-MCP service) is unchanged — separate code path, different lifecycle.
Bundle size: MCP entry dropped from 154KB → 104KB (gzipped 34KB → 19KB).
Daemon SSE event payload extended
message events on /v1/events now include plaintext-decrypted body,
sender member pubkey, priority, and subtype — everything the MCP shim
needs to render a complete channel notification without going back to
the broker.
Daemon IPC: GET /v1/skills (list) and GET /v1/skills/:name (get)
The daemon exposes mesh-published skills over IPC so the MCP shim can surface them as MCP prompts/resources without holding its own broker WS. Same wire format as before from Claude Code's perspective.
Why this is the right architecture
MCP and the daemon are no longer independent broker clients with duplicated WS, decrypt, and dedupe logic. The daemon owns the broker relationship; MCP is a Claude-Code-specific UX adapter that reads from the daemon. Industry-normal shape (Tailscale, Slack, Ollama, Docker) where the long-lived runtime is required and the per-app integrations attach to it.
1.23.0 (2026-05-03) — close the CLI surface, prune dead MCP stubs
Three previously-MCP-only write verbs land on the CLI, closing every functional gap between the (defunct since 1.5.0) MCP tool registry and the CLI:
claudemesh vault set <key> <value>— encrypts client-side viacrypto_secretbox_easywith a fresh symmetric key, then seals the key to the member's own pubkey viacrypto_box_seal(same shape as the file-share crypto). Flags:--type env|file,--mount <path>,--description <text>. Pairs with the existingvault list/delete.claudemesh watch add <url>— registers a URL change watcher. Flags:--label,--interval <sec>,--mode,--extract <css>,--notify-on changed|always. Pairs withwatch list/remove.claudemesh webhook create <name>— issues a fresh inbound webhook; prints url + one-shot secret. Pairs withwebhook list/delete.
Cleanup: removed 22 dead stub files under apps/cli/src/mcp/tools/*,
the unused router.ts, middleware/*, and handlers/* directories
(~120 LoC). The MCP server in 1.5.0+ has been a tool-less push-pipe;
these stubs were leftover scaffolding that never wired into the
tools/list response. The legitimate MCP surfaces stay untouched:
<channel source="claudemesh">push pipe (the irreducible reason MCP exists at all — no other Claude Code surface can inject events mid-turn).- Mesh skills exposed as MCP prompts (slash commands) and
resources (
skill://claudemesh/<name>). - Mesh-deployed MCP services proxied via the sub-process tool surface (separate code path under server.ts:855+).
1.22.1 (2026-05-03) — daemon docs + help
- Root
claudemesh --helpnow lists thedaemonsubcommand suite under its own section (was missing in 1.22.0). claudemesh daemon(no subcommand) now prints a usage block instead of silently launching the daemon.daemon help|--help|-hwork too.- Bundled SKILL.md gained a "Daemon path (v0.9.0, opt-in, fastest)"
section explaining the runtime, lifecycle commands, and how it relates
to
claudemesh install(independent — not auto-started).
1.22.0 (2026-05-03) — daemon v0.9.0
New: claudemesh daemon — long-lived peer mesh runtime
Persistent local process that holds the broker WS, durable outbox/inbox in
SQLite, IPC over UDS (+ optional loopback TCP with bearer token), and SSE
event stream. Surrogates wire-up; claudemesh send and friends route
through the daemon when its socket is present, falling back to the
existing bridge / cold paths otherwise.
Subcommands:
daemon up|start [--mesh <slug>] [--name ...] [--no-tcp] [--public-health]daemon status [--json],daemon down|stop,daemon versiondaemon outbox list [--failed|--pending|--inflight|--done]daemon outbox requeue <id> [--new-client-id <id>]daemon accept-host(per-host fingerprint pin)daemon install-service --mesh <slug>(macOS launchd / Linux systemd-user)daemon uninstall-service
Idempotency end-to-end:
- Caller-stable
client_message_id+ canonicalrequest_fingerprint(sha256 of envelope_version || dest_kind || dest_ref || reply_to || priority || canonical_meta_json || body_hash) attach on every send. - Broker persists both on
mesh.message_queue(migration 0028, additive- nullable) and echoes them on push, so receiving daemons dedupe their
inbox by
client_message_id.
- nullable) and echoes them on push, so receiving daemons dedupe their
inbox by
- §4.5.1 IPC duplicate-lookup table (11 cases × no-row / 5 statuses × match/mismatch) covered by 15 unit tests.
Crash recovery:
- Outbox row transitions:
pending→inflight→done/dead/aborted.BEGIN IMMEDIATEserializes daemon-local writes; the drain worker is wakeable via promise-replacement and backs off failed sends. - Decrypt path tries session secret key, then member secret key, then base64 fallback, so legacy unencrypted pushes still inbox cleanly.
Sprint 7 (broker-side dedupe enforcement: partial unique index +
mesh.client_message_dedupe atomic-accept table) is intentionally
deferred — see .artifacts/shipped/2026-05-03-daemon-spec-broker- hardening-followups.md.
