Alejandro Gutiérrez 5bf815b304 feat(broker): production hardening — caps, limits, metrics, logging
Adds the minimum ops surface area for a production broker without
over-engineering. All new config knobs are env-var driven with sane
defaults.

New modules:
- logger.ts: structured JSON logs (one line, stderr, ready for
  Loki/Datadog ingestion without preprocessing)
- metrics.ts: in-process Prometheus counters + gauges, exposed at
  GET /metrics. Tracks connections, messages, queue depth, TTL
  sweeps, hook requests, DB health.
- rate-limit.ts: token-bucket rate limiter keyed by (pid, cwd).
  Applied to POST /hook/set-status at 30/min default.
- db-health.ts: Postgres ping loop with exponential-backoff retry.
  GET /health returns 503 while DB is down.
- build-info.ts: version + gitSha (from GIT_SHA env or `git rev-parse`
  fallback) + uptime, surfaced on /health.

Behavior changes:
- Connection caps: MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_MESH (default 100). Exceed →
  close(1008, "capacity") + metric increment.
- Message size: MAX_MESSAGE_BYTES (default 65536). WS applies it via
  `ws.maxPayload`. Hook POST bodies cap out with 413.
- Structured logs everywhere replacing the old `log()` helper.
- Env validation stricter: DATABASE_URL required + regex-checked for
  postgres:// prefix.

New endpoints:
- GET /health → {status, db, version, gitSha, uptime}. 503 if DB down.
- GET /metrics → Prometheus text format.

Verified: 21/21 tests still pass. Hit /health + /metrics live —
gitSha resolves correctly via `git rev-parse --short HEAD` in dev.

@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.
