Alejandro Gutiérrez a2a53ff355 feat(cli,broker): 1.34.14 + 1.34.15 — env-var fallback, peer list scope, kick refuses control-plane
Three follow-ups from the 1.34.x multi-session correctness train,
all backwards-compatible.

1.34.14 — stale CLAUDEMESH_CONFIG_DIR falls back. The launch flow
exposes CLAUDEMESH_CONFIG_DIR=<tmpdir> to its spawned claude; if a
later claudemesh invocation inherited that env (Bash tool inside
Claude Code, tmux update-environment, exported var), the inherited
path pointed at a tmpdir that no longer existed and readConfig()
silently returned empty. paths.ts now memoizes resolution: env unset
→ default; env points at a real dir → trust it; env set but dir gone
→ TTY-only stderr warning with shell-specific unset hint, fall back
to ~/.claudemesh.

1.34.15 — peer list --mesh actually scopes. peers.ts and launch.ts
were calling tryListPeersViaDaemon() with no argument; the daemon's
?mesh= filter (server-side, since 1.26.0) was already correct, the
CLI just wasn't passing the slug. Forwarding fixed in both sites;
send.ts cross-mesh hex-prefix resolution intentionally untouched.

1.34.15 — kick refuses no-op kicks on control-plane. Pre-1.34.15
kicking a daemon's member-WS just closed the socket and triggered
auto-reconnect — a no-op with a misleading "session ended" message.
Broker now skips peers where peerRole === "control-plane" and
surfaces them in a new additive ack field skipped_control_plane;
the CLI reads it and prints a clearer hint pointing at ban / daemon
down. Soft disconnect verb keeps old behavior. PeerConn gains a
peerRole slot populated at both connections.set sites.

Tests: 4 new for paths-stale-env, 5 for kick-control-plane-skip.
CLI 87/87 green; broker 55/55 unit green (integration tests
pre-existing infra failure on this machine).

@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.
