Summary

Behavior-preserving refactor of the engine's event fan-out.

  • Classification is now data, not code. Which node frame carries an event type (deliver vs context.update) was decided by a hard-coded set in routes/fanout.ts. It is now declared in @relaycast/types next to the frame schemas: NODE_DELIVER_FRAME_EVENT_TYPES, nodeFrameKindFor(type): 'deliver' | 'context', isNodeDeliverFrameEventType(type), plus the NodeFrameKind type/schema. The four deliver-frame types are unchanged: message.created and thread.reply (durable mailbox rows, acked, replayed) and message.read and message.reacted (synthetic seq-0 deliver frames, best-effort, no delivery row). Everything else is a best-effort context.update. The classification is named for the frame, not durability, because those two receipt types are not durable (see the Codex thread).
  • One dispatcher. engine/eventDispatch.ts exports publishEvent(deps, { workspaceId, type, data, scope }) and a batched publishEventsToAgents. It is the single place that decides which sinks an event reaches: the durable workspace event log + observer stream always, and the node context push only for context-frame types with a non-workspace scope. Sinks stay independent (Promise.allSettled) and publishEvent never throws, so runInBackground callers behave as before.
  • Sink failures are observable. A rejected workspace-log append and any rejected per-node context send now reach the dispatcher's onSinkError callback (node-context sends still run independently; failures are collected into an AggregateError after all targets are attempted) and are logged by the routes, where before they were swallowed.
  • Call sites replaced. routes/fanout.ts (fanoutToChannel, fanoutToAgents, publishWorkspaceEvent, fanoutToWorkspace, new fanoutPresence), routes/deliveryRouting.ts (fanoutToAgentsForContext, notifyDeliveryFailures), and both presence fan-outs in routes/agent.ts now call the dispatcher instead of assembling sinks by hand. The private buildEvent/publishToWorkspaceStream helpers and NODE_DELIVERY_EVENT_TYPES are deleted.

No wire formats, frame names, or openapi surface change. Every event type reaches the same sinks with the same payload as before.

Deliberately left alone: invocationCompletion.ts (delivers action.completed/failed via the delivery path on purpose), the in-process presence port in adapters/node/index.ts (would double-publish), and the awaited webhook enqueues (folding them into the background group would change them to fire-and-forget).

Test plan

  • npx turbo build, npx turbo lint, npx turbo test across the repo: green (engine 69 files / 714 tests, types 7 files / 206 tests). tsc --noEmit on the engine: clean.
  • New tests: packages/types/src/__tests__/node-frame-kind.test.ts (the four deliver-frame types, unknown types are context) and packages/engine/src/engine/__tests__/eventDispatch.test.ts (17 tests: deliver-frame types never reach node context; agent.status.changed, member.joined, delivery.failed do with the right topic and agent_ids; a rejected log append fires onSinkError('workspace_stream') and the node push still runs; one failing node of two still lets the other receive and reports a single AggregateError under node_context).

Context

Follow-up to the codebase review: the two node frames are a real distinction worth keeping, but the classification should be declared once and dispatched once so the broker, the SDKs, and the engine read the same answer. Companion relay PR: AgentWorkforce/relay#1636 teaches the broker to parse context.update and act on delivery.failed / agent.identity_taken_over.

… 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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR defines node frame classification in @relaycast/types, adds a centralized engine event dispatcher, rewires fan-out and delivery routes, and aggregates node-context send failures while reporting workspace-log failures.

Changes

Event dispatch refactor

Layer / File(s) Summary
Node frame classification contract
packages/types/src/fleet-wire.ts, packages/types/src/__tests__/node-frame-kind.test.ts, packages/types/CHANGELOG.md, CHANGELOG.md, README.md
The node delivery classification uses deliver and context frame kinds. Tests cover the declared event types and fallback behavior. Documentation uses the new identifiers.
Shared event dispatcher and sink errors
packages/engine/src/engine/eventDispatch.ts, packages/engine/src/engine/nodeContext.ts, packages/engine/src/engine/__tests__/eventDispatch.test.ts, .agentworkforce/trajectories/completed/2026-09/traj_4q4a47j9doqd/*
The dispatcher publishes workspace events and routes context-frame events by scope. Workspace-log and node-context failures are reported without stopping other sinks. Node sends now aggregate failures.
Route fan-out integration
packages/engine/src/routes/fanout.ts, packages/engine/src/routes/deliveryRouting.ts, packages/engine/src/routes/agent.ts
Workspace, channel, agent, presence, and delivery-failure paths now use the centralized dispatcher.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d384d

The refactor centralizes event publication, but a durable event-log append failure can still be followed by delivery without a sequence or clear recovery signal, creating a bounded risk of persistence divergence. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on failure reporting and recovery behavior.

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.
