Alejandro Gutiérrez cd389c6bdd fix(broker): atomic message claim to prevent duplicate delivery
drainForMember previously ran SELECT undelivered rows, THEN UPDATE
delivered_at. Two concurrent callers (e.g. WS fan-out on send +
handleHello's own drain for the target) could both SELECT the same
row before either UPDATEd, pushing the same envelope twice.

now: single atomic UPDATE ... FROM member ... WHERE id IN (
  SELECT id ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED
) RETURNING mq.*, m.peer_pubkey AS sender_pubkey.

FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED is the key primitive — concurrent callers
each claim DISJOINT sets, so a message can never be drained twice.
Union of all concurrent drains still covers every eligible row.

re-sorts RETURNING rows by created_at client-side (Postgres makes no
FIFO guarantee on the RETURNING clause's output order), and normalizes
created_at to Date since raw-sql results can come back as ISO strings.

regression: tests/dup-delivery.test.ts (4 tests)
- two concurrent drains produce disjoint result sets
- six concurrent drains partition cleanly (20 messages, each drained once)
- subsequent drain after success returns empty
- FIFO ordering preserved within a single drain

48/48 tests pass. Live round-trip no longer logs the double-push.

@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.
