Session identity is now anchored on Claude Code's session UUID instead of a fresh random keypair per launch. The ed25519 session keypair is generated once per (mesh, session UUID) and persisted under ~/.claudemesh/sessions/<mesh>/<uuid>.json, so relaunching or --resume-ing the same session reuses the same sessionPubkey. Why: a DM is sealed (crypto_box) to the recipient's sessionPubkey. With ephemeral per-launch keys, the pubkey rotated on every relaunch, so queued messages became undecryptable AND the old presence lingered as a same-name ghost that won queued-DM claim races. Reconnecting could not recover the peer because it minted yet another key. On --resume the CLI also registered a throwaway random id unrelated to the resumed session, so the broker never recognized the returning peer. CLI (launch.ts): - resolve the stable UUID for all paths: fresh mints + forces via --session-id; --resume V registers V; --continue resolves the most-recent session UUID from ~/.claude/projects/<cwd>. - use loadOrCreateSessionKeypair(mesh, uuid) instead of generateKeypair(). CLI (daemon/run.ts): - onRegister closes any prior SessionBrokerClient holding the same pubkey under a different token (the leaked-WS ghost). Broker (handleSessionHello): - reattach by sessionPubkey regardless of lease state (online or grace), closing the stale socket — enforces one live presence per session pubkey, killing the duplicate and draining queued DMs on return. Trade-off: session secret keys now persist on disk (the member key already does); SPEC.md updated to reflect the stable-identity model. Older CLIs remain compatible (they keep using ephemeral keys). New: keypair-store.ts + 7 unit tests. Full CLI suite: 114/114 green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (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.
