fix(engine): fail fast when a host adapter cannot deliver an agent-handled action - #368

… route events through one dispatcher The durable/ephemeral split for node pushes was a hard-coded Set in routes/fanout.ts, and the fan-out to the workspace stream, the durable workspace event log and the node context push was hand-assembled in fanout.ts, deliveryRouting.ts and agent.ts. - @relaycast/types now declares NODE_DURABLE_EVENT_TYPES, NodeDeliveryClassSchema, isNodeDurableEventType and nodeDeliveryClassFor. - engine/eventDispatch.ts is the single place that decides which sinks an event reaches, keyed off that declaration plus the dispatch scope (workspace / channel / agents / presence). - fanout.ts, deliveryRouting.ts and agent.ts call the dispatcher instead of assembling sinks by hand; nodeContext.ts stays the transport layer. Behavior preserving: same sinks, same payloads, same wire frames, sinks stay independent on failure.

…failures
The `durable`/`ephemeral` naming was wrong: `message.read` and
`message.reacted` do ride the `deliver` frame, but as synthetic `seq: 0`
sends with no delivery row that are dropped when the provider is not ready
(`deliverEventToRecipient` in engine/nodeDeliver.ts). The real split is
which node frame carries the event.
- @relaycast/types now exports NODE_DELIVER_FRAME_EVENT_TYPES,
NodeFrameKindSchema ('deliver' | 'context'), isNodeDeliverFrameEventType
and nodeFrameKindFor; the durable/ephemeral names are gone (the package is
unreleased on this branch, so no aliases).
- eventDispatch.ts reports a rejected workspace-log append through
onSinkError('workspace_stream') instead of letting Promise.allSettled
swallow it, in both publishEvent and publishEventsToAgents.
- nodeContext.ts keeps per-node sends independent but throws an
AggregateError when any of them rejects, so the dispatcher's
onSinkError('node_context', ...) can actually fire.
- JSDoc on the new/modified top-level functions in eventDispatch.ts,
nodeContext.ts, fanout.ts, deliveryRouting.ts and agent.ts.
- Filled in the trajectory record's commits, filesChanged, trace refs and
verification summary.
Behavior otherwise unchanged: same sinks, same payloads, same wire frames.

`sendNodeDeliveriesToAgents` sends `action.completed`, `action.failed`, `action.denied`, `agent.exited`, `node.status.online`, and `node.status.offline` to one agent's mailbox as synthetic seq-0 `deliver` frames, the same path as the channel receipts, so `nodeFrameKindFor` must report `deliver` for them rather than `context`. None of these reach the event dispatcher with a node audience, so dispatch behaviour is unchanged. Also aligns the trajectory record's commits and endRef with the review round it describes.

…ndled action An agent-handled invoke whose adapter send returns false fell into the takeover-race replay wait and surfaced a misleading, retryable-looking 503 `idempotency_unavailable`. Hosted adapters that cannot observe socket state synchronously hit this for every offline direct handler. After the wait, a row that is still open with no recorded attempt and no dispatched node is now resolved the way the pre-dispatch liveness gate would: failed with `handler_unavailable` (503), or left `pending` when the action opted into `queue`. Takeover races and rows that gained an attempt keep their current behavior via the new `onDeadline` option's default.

…was never dispatched The post-send classification failed the invocation with an unconditional `failOpenInvocationRows`, whose WHERE only requires an open status. A handler that reconnected after the final replay poll could have this very row dispatched by `drainNodeInvocations` between that poll and the update, so a live dispatch was overwritten with `failed` / `handler_unavailable` while the handler executed the action. The failure is now one conditional UPDATE that also requires `dispatch_attempts = 0` and no dispatched node, and the 503 is raised only when that update claimed the row. Otherwise the invocation is reloaded and reported from its own state. The in-process node adapter records the dispatch attempt in the same conditional mutation that authorizes it, before the socket send, so a racing dispatcher is always visible to that predicate — matching how the hosted NodeDO orders its send boundary. Drops the `queue` branch: `actions.queue` is only set by node-provider capability registration, which never targets an agent handler, so no supported path could select it.

…sucow 8.3.1 shipped #367, which already fails an unkeyed agent-action invoke with handler_unavailable when the owner-side send misses. Reconcile the two fixes in invokeAction: - keep #367's completion-wins acknowledgement for a send that returned true but lost the dispatch UPDATE; - keyed claims still wait for a racing takeover to become visible, but now hand the still-open row back (onDeadline: 'return') instead of reporting idempotency_unavailable; - both keyed and unkeyed misses then go through the conditional failNeverDispatchedInvocation, so a dispatcher that claimed the row on a handler reconnect keeps its dispatch and the caller sees that state. The conformance test becomes a keyed invoke (8.3.1 already covers the unkeyed case) and asserts a replay of the same key agrees on handler_unavailable. Changelog bullets narrowed to what is left after 8.3.1; the root [Unreleased - Patch] link now compares against v8.3.1.

Summary
8.2.2 added a post-send re-read in
invokeAction's agent-handler branch: when the provider send is not accepted, the engine polls the durable claim for 500 ms so a takeover racing the dispatch resolves consistently, and throws 503idempotency_unavailable("Idempotent action dispatch is still pending") if the row is still pending with no recorded attempt. That wait was written for the takeover race, but it also fires when the host adapter simply could not deliver to the handler.The in-process Node adapter never reaches it for an offline handler: its
isProviderConnectedis accurate, so the earlierisHandlerConnectionLivegate fails fast withhandler_unavailable, and its send queues in memory and returns true. Hosted adapters that cannot observe socket state from the edge (relaycast-cloud answersisProviderConnectedwithtrueand its NodeDO returnsfalsewhen the handler has no open socket; a direct node has no provider heartbeat row for the DB check to consult) hit the block for every offline direct handler. Found while bumping relaycast-cloud to 8.3.0 (AgentWorkforce/relaycast-cloud#93): its e2e invoke test went from 201 to that 503.8.3.1 (#367) already fixed the unkeyed case: an unkeyed invoke whose send misses now fails its row with
handler_unavailable. This PR, rebased on 8.3.1 by merge, covers what is left:idempotency_unavailablewhile the row stays pending (and would execute on the handler's next reconnect without the caller knowing). They now fail withhandler_unavailabletoo, and a replay of the same key reports that same failure.failOpenInvocationRowsmatches any open row, so a handler that reconnects between the send miss and the update can have this very row dispatched bydrainNodeInvocationsand then overwritten withfailedwhile it runs the action. The failure is now one conditional UPDATE (failNeverDispatchedInvocation) that also requiresdispatch_attempts = 0 AND dispatched_node_id IS NULL; the 503 is raised only when that update claimed the row, otherwise the row is reloaded and its current state (pending / dispatched, or a takeover's failure) is what the caller gets.Change
waitForInvocationReplayOutcomegainsonDeadline: 'throw' | 'return'(default'throw', soreplayInvocationClaim,dispatchSpawn, anddispatchReleasekeep their semantics). The keyed branch of the send-miss path passes'return'so a still-open row is classified instead of reported as a stall; a takeover that already failed the row still throws its own error from inside the wait.failNeverDispatchedInvocation. 8.3.1's completion-wins acknowledgement for a send that returned true but lost the dispatch UPDATE is kept as is.sendAuthorizedActionToProviderrecords the dispatch attempt in the same conditional mutation that authorizes it, before the socket send, and only sends when that update changed a row. Recording after the send left a window in which the handler held the frame while the row still readdispatch_attempts = 0. The relaycast-cloud NodeDO already orders its send boundary this way.No
queuehandling:actions.queueis only set by node-provider capability registration, which never targets an agent handler, so no supported path can select queued behavior for agent-handled actions. The provider-handler branch (action.handlerNodeId) is untouched.Tests
sdk-contract.test.tsgainsfails a keyed agent-hosted invoke when a host adapter cannot deliver to the handler: a hosted adapter is simulated by spyingisProviderConnected→trueandsendAuthorizedActionToProvider→falsewith the handler bound to a direct node whose socket has been closed. The keyed invoke returns 503handler_unavailable, the row isfailedwith zero attempts and no dispatched node, noaction.invokeframe is sent, and a replay with the sameIdempotency-Keyreturns the same 503handler_unavailable. 8.3.1's unkeyed send-miss and completion-race tests pass unchanged.npx turbo build lint test --filter=@relaycast/engine: green, 70 test filestsc --noEmitin packages/engine: cleanChangelog:
