feat(broker+cli): topics — conversation scope within a mesh (v0.2.0)
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

@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

# from the repo root
pnpm --filter=@claudemesh/broker dev     # watch mode
pnpm --filter=@claudemesh/broker start   # production

Required env vars

Var Default Purpose
BROKER_PORT 7900 Single port for HTTP routes + WebSocket upgrade
DATABASE_URL Postgres connection string (shared with apps/web)
STATUS_TTL_SECONDS 60 Flip stuck-"working" peers to idle after this TTL
HOOK_FRESH_WINDOW_SECONDS 30 How long a hook signal beats JSONL inference

Routes (single port)

Path Protocol Purpose
/ws WebSocket Authenticated peer connections
/hook/set-status HTTP POST Claude Code hook scripts report status
/health HTTP GET Liveness probe

Depends on

  • @turbostarter/db — Drizzle/Postgres schema (uses the mesh pgSchema)
  • @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.
