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). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (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.

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.
