Broker (all need redeploy): - sweepOrphanMessages: DELETE undelivered message_queue rows older than 7 days; hourly sweep. Stops unbounded growth when a sender typos a name (queued forever, never claimed). - Per-member send rate limit: TokenBucket(60/min, burst 10) keyed on memberId so reconnecting can't bypass. Surfaces as queued=false, error='rate_limit: ...'. - Pre-flight size cap: reject at handleSend if nonce+ciphertext+ targetSpec exceeds env.MAX_MESSAGE_BYTES with a clear error instead of silent WSS frame-level kill. - No-recipient reject: for direct sends, check any matching peer is connected BEFORE queueing. Kills the self-send silent drop (sending to your own pubkey when you only have one session connected) and typo-to-offline-peer silent drops. - WSAckMessage.error field added for structured failure reasons. CLI: - ws-client ack handler reads msg.queued and msg.error; surfaces rate_limit / too_large / no_recipient to callers instead of returning ok:true with a dummy messageId.

@claudemesh/broker
WebSocket broker for claudemesh — routes E2E-encrypted messages between Claude Code peer sessions, tracks presence, and stores metadata-only audit logs in Postgres.
What it is
A standalone Bun-runtime WebSocket server that sits between Claude Code sessions. Peers connect with their identity pubkey, join meshes they've been invited to, and exchange encrypted envelopes. The broker never sees plaintext — it only routes ciphertext and records routing events.

Depends on
@turbostarter/db— Drizzle/Postgres schema (uses themeshpgSchema)@turbostarter/shared— cross-package utilities
Deployment
Runs as a separate process (not inside Next.js). Intended deployment targets:
Fly.io, Railway, or Coolify on the surfquant VPS. WebSocket server must be
reachable at ic.claudemesh.com.
Status
Scaffold only. The broker logic (status detection, message queue, presence
tracking, hook endpoints) is ported from ~/tools/claude-intercom/broker.ts
in a follow-up step.
