Adds the third axis of mesh organization: mesh = trust boundary, group = identity tag, topic = conversation scope. Topic-tagged messages filter delivery by topic_member rows and persist to a topic_message history table for back-scroll on reconnect. Schema (additive): - mesh.topic, mesh.topic_member, mesh.topic_message tables - topic_visibility (public|private|dm) and topic_member_role (lead|member|observer) enums - migration 0022_topics.sql, hand-written following project convention (drizzle journal has been drifting since 0011) Broker: - 10 helpers (createTopic, listTopics, findTopicByName, joinTopic, leaveTopic, topicMembers, getMemberTopicIds, appendTopicMessage, topicHistory, markTopicRead) - drainForMember matches "#<topicId>" target_specs via member's topic memberships - 7 WS handlers (topic_create/list/join/leave/members/history/mark_read) + resolveTopicId helper accepting id-or-name - handleSend auto-persists topic-tagged messages to history CLI: - claudemesh topic create/list/join/leave/members/history/read - claudemesh send "#deploys" "..." resolves topic name to id - bundled skill teaches Claude the DM/group/topic decision matrix - policy-classify recognizes topic create/join/leave as writes Spec: .artifacts/specs/2026-05-02-v0.2.0-scope.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
@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.
Running locally

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.
