Alejandro Gutiérrez d0fa1c028f fix(broker): echo _reqId in all WS responses for correlation ID routing
Extract _reqId from incoming WS messages and include it in every direct
response sendToPeer call and sendError call. Clients can now match
responses to requests by ID instead of relying on FIFO ordering.
Old clients without _reqId are unaffected (field simply omitted).

@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.
