Summary

Fixes #1961.

Relay currently checks terminal output to determine whether an agent received a message. This leaves deliveries unconfirmed when the agent accepts input without echoing it or redrawing its prompt.

This change lets recipients confirm delivery through the acknowledge_delivery MCP tool or a successful mark_message_read call. Claude and Codex receive the configuration needed to send these receipts.

Each receipt is tied to its message, recipient, and a unique nonce. Terminal checks still detect messages stuck in the input box and preserve the existing recovery behavior. Screen activity alone no longer confirms delivery.

The fleet stub and regression coverage now exercise native acknowledgements without requiring prompt repaints.

Test Plan

  • 23 focused MCP, protocol, and telemetry tests passed.
  • 72 focused Rust unit tests passed.
  • 8 PTY integration tests passed.
  • CLI build, formatting, lint, and diff checks passed.
  • Local RelayFlow proof reproduced unconfirmed delivery on the base and confirmed delivery on the fix for both Claude and Codex, without screen repaints.
  • Full CI, Cloud proof, and live fleet telemetry validation.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes core PTY delivery semantics and MCP launch configuration for Claude/Codex; mistaken receipt handling could mis-report delivery, though terminal-only confirmation is intentionally removed.

Overview
PTY deliveries are now confirmed when the recipient acknowledges via MCP, not when the terminal echoes or repaints. Screen parsing still detects messages parked in the composer and drives bounded submit retries.

The broker registers a per-delivery nonce-backed receipt under a session-private RELAY_PTY_ACK_DIR, forwards that path into Claude/Codex MCP configs, and treats a matching receipt as native_mcp_ack acceptance. Injected messages include a hint to call acknowledge_delivery (or rely on mark_message_read, which also publishes a receipt). While a native receipt is still possible, inconclusive terminal evidence is deferred instead of counting as verified.

The CLI adds acknowledge_delivery MCP tooling and preflight now requires it. Wrap mode and PTY workers share the same inbox wiring. Integration tests, a RelayFlow proof, and changelog note the behavior change.

📝 Walkthrough

The broker now uses nonce-based recipient read receipts to confirm PTY delivery. Claude and Codex MCP tools can provide receipts. Workers and wrappers use receipts during verification, and tests cover native acknowledgements and repaint-only output.

Changes: Native PTY delivery acknowledgements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Receipt protocol and MCP acknowledgement
crates/broker/src/pty_delivery_ack.rs, crates/broker/src/broker/injection_format.rs, packages/cli/src/cli/mcp/*, crates/broker/src/snippets.rs, crates/broker/src/lib.rs
The broker registers pending receipts using event IDs and nonces, and exposes the acknowledgement directory to child processes. Injection instructions include the event ID. CLI MCP tools can acknowledge a delivery directly or after mark_message_read succeeds. Broker preflight now requires the acknowledgement tool.
Broker delivery assessment
crates/broker/src/broker/delivery_verification.rs, crates/broker/src/pty_worker.rs, crates/broker/src/wrap.rs
Workers and wrappers carry native acknowledgements into pending verification. A matching receipt is accepted as native_mcp_ack. Claude and Codex can wait for a receipt within the acceptance lifetime.
Receipt validation and regression coverage

Generic harnesses that do not support native acknowledgements can now report deliveries as unconfirmed even when the screen shows they were accepted. Restoring the screen-based fallback for those harnesses before merging would avoid that regression. Setup against an older agent-relay executable that lacks the new acknowledgement tool can also fail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1961 requires native acknowledgement for Claude and Codex, a screen-verification fallback for harnesses without native acknowledgement, and fake harnesses that do not need prompt repaints. The PR implements nonce-bound MCP receipts for Claude and Codex. The no-repaint native tests pass. The fake harness tests also cover this behavior. However, assess_delivery_acceptance preserves only Parked from screen assessment and reports other non-native outcomes as inconclusive. The prompt_repaints_without_native_reads_are_unconfirmed test confirms that the required generic-harness fallback is not implemented. The PR description also leaves fleet telemetry validation unchecked.

Resolution

Implement screen-based delivery confirmation only for harnesses without native acknowledgement support. Keep screen activity from confirming delivery for Claude and Codex while a native receipt is expected. Add automated coverage for the generic fallback and validate that delivery_unconfirmed remains limited to generic harnesses.

🔴 Parked messages lose submit recovery

For Claude and Codex, ready_to_assess delays the first parked-composer check until the 30-second lifetime expires. acceptance_expired then blocks submit-key recovery, so parked messages fail and hold later deliveries.

Learn more

A PTY message can stay typed in the live composer when the initial Enter lands in a paste burst. The verification tick retries parked messages only before acceptance_expired() becomes true; wrap has the same guard in its retry path. Native receipts need time to arrive, but delaying all assessments until the lifetime expires prevents those retries entirely. The resulting terminal failure can hold every later message behind a failed draft.

Example: A Codex composer retains a message after its initial submit. No MCP receipt arrives. At 30 seconds the first assessment detects Parked, but the retry guard is false, so the worker fails and latches that message without pressing the recovery Enter.

Recommended fix: Preserve the short-window parked-composer assessment and bounded submit-only recovery while allowing a longer interval for inconclusive messages to produce native receipts. Keep the 30-second lifetime as an upper bound rather than the first recovery check.

🔴 Other PTY recipients lose confirmation

When a recipient lacks native MCP receipts, assess_delivery_acceptance discards even proven process echoes and harness acceptance. Cat and non-Claude/Codex recipients now report successful deliveries as unconfirmed.

Learn more

The former acceptance assessor confirms a raw cat process echo, a cleared composer, and activity markers. The new wrapper reduces every one of those Accepted outcomes to Inconclusive when no native receipt exists. Only Claude and Codex MCP arguments receive explicit acknowledgement-directory forwarding in configure_harness; a plain cat process cannot call an MCP tool. The PTY worker consequently issues terminal unconfirmed instead of the former delivery_verified event.

Example: A supported local cat recipient prints its injected body to the PTY. The former process_echo evidence confirms delivery; the new assessor discards it and marks that delivery unconfirmed.

Recommended fix: Restrict receipt-only assessment to recipient configurations that actually support it, and retain process-echo or existing harness acceptance for other supported PTY recipients.

🔴 Wrapped Claude sessions cannot publish receipts

When Claude loads Relay MCP from .mcp.json, configure_harness has no --mcp-config argument to update. Claude's MCP subprocess can miss RELAY_PTY_ACK_DIR, so wrapped messages remain unconfirmed despite successful reads.

Learn more

Interactive run_wrap passes the user's CLI arguments to this function without creating a --mcp-config block. Claude also loads Agent Relay MCP from its normal .mcp.json configuration. Existing MCP configuration notes that Claude does not reliably forward its parent process environment to MCP subprocesses, so expose_to_child() alone cannot provide the receipt directory. Native-only assessment then leaves legitimately read wrap messages unconfirmed.

Example: Run agent-relay claude with Relay MCP installed in .mcp.json; the user supplies no --mcp-config. The assistant successfully calls acknowledge_delivery, but the MCP process has no receipt directory and responds that no pending delivery matches.

Recommended fix: Inject an additive Claude --mcp-config override for the Relay server in wrap mode, or provide an equivalent reliable per-server environment forwarding mechanism for .mcp.json servers. Include the correct worker identity.

🟡 Custom Codex MCP server gets stranded

When Codex uses the supported relaycast MCP name, configure_harness adds an agent-relay environment entry instead. No agent-relay command is configured, so that entry cannot forward receipts to the working server.

Learn more

The MCP setup considers either mcp_servers.agent-relay or mcp_servers.relaycast an existing Codex MCP server and suppresses its automatic server definition. This new argument always targets agent-relay even when the only installed server is named relaycast. It leaves that existing MCP process without RELAY_PTY_ACK_DIR; Codex may also see a separate server entry containing only env and no command.

Example: Pass a custom --config mcp_servers.relaycast.command="agent-relay" to a spawned Codex worker. The broker does not create agent-relay, then adds only its receipt-directory environment key under agent-relay. The existing relaycast server has no receipt directory.

Recommended fix: Detect which Relay MCP server name exists in Codex's effective configuration and inject the directory under that name, without creating an incomplete second server.

[High impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no blocking findings remain.

Summary

PTY deliveries now use recipient acknowledgements rather than screen activity to confirm receipt.

  • Claude and Codex deliveries wait for recipient receipts, not screen redraws.
  • Agents can confirm PTY delivery with an MCP receipt.

Make MCP receipt capability compatible with the resolved executable.

The broker can resolve an older or custom MCP executable without checking its version. Preflight then rejects that executable when it lacks acknowledge_delivery, and the error propagates before worker setup. This can block workers that still provide the original messaging tools.

If legacy MCP builds are supported, keep the three core tools required and handle acknowledge_delivery as a capability. Add an explicit degraded delivery-verification path or enforce a compatible MCP version. A warning alone is not sufficient because the current delivery verifier does not treat terminal activity as delivery confirmation.

Use the same Claude/Codex check here as in waiting_for_native_ack.

Line 1541 compares the raw normalize_cli_name result. That result is case-sensitive and keeps .exe. waiting_for_native_ack and configure_harness both lowercase the name and accept claude.exe and codex.exe. If the wrapped CLI is claude.exe, Codex.exe, or /opt/Claude, wrap skips MCP setup, so the recipient never receives RELAY_PTY_ACK_DIR. waiting_for_native_ack still returns true. Each delivery then waits the full 30-second acceptance lifetime for a receipt that cannot arrive, and the delivery queue blocks while it waits.

Review comment at @crates/broker/src/wrap.rs around lines 1540 - 1543:
Update the CLI check around `resolved_cli` to use the same normalization as
`waiting_for_native_ack` and `configure_harness`: lowercase the normalized name
and ignore a trailing `.exe` before matching Claude or Codex. This ensures
casing, executable suffixes, and paths identify supported CLIs consistently for
MCP setup.

Append the MCP arguments; do not replace the user's arguments with them.

configure_agent_relay_mcp_with_token returns only the arguments it adds. It does not return existing_args merged with them. The tests in snippets.rs show this:

  • claude_opt_out_when_mcp_config_already_in_args expects an empty vector when the input already has --mcp-config.
  • codex_opt_out_when_agent_relay_config_already_in_args expects only ["--config", "check_for_update_on_startup=false"].

Line 1546 assigns that return value to effective_cli_args. Every argument the user passed to agent-relay wrap claude … or wrap codex … is therefore discarded. This includes --model, --resume, and the user's own --mcp-config. The harness then starts with only the Relay MCP flags, or with no arguments at all on the opt-out path.

The test wrap_claude_config_forwards_the_connected_identity_and_receipt_directory passes &[] as the existing arguments, so it cannot detect this.

Add a test that wraps with non-empty user arguments and asserts that they are kept.

Update the `effective_cli_args` handling around
`configure_agent_relay_mcp_with_token` in the wrap flow: capture the returned
MCP arguments separately, then append them to `effective_cli_args` so
user-supplied arguments remain intact. Add a test that wraps with non-empty user
arguments and verifies they are preserved.

Keep Codex credentials out of wrap-process argv.

For codex, configure_agent_relay_mcp_with_token places RELAY_API_KEY, RELAY_AGENT_TOKEN, and RELAY_WORKSPACES_JSON in --config arguments. RELAY_WORKSPACES_JSON contains the API key for every workspace. run_wrap passes these arguments to PtySession::spawn, so local process inspection can expose the credentials.

Use a private Codex configuration channel, such as a private CODEX_HOME configuration file, or another Codex-supported mechanism that keeps these values out of argv. Do not pass RELAY_WORKSPACES_JSON, RELAY_API_KEY, or RELAY_AGENT_TOKEN as Codex --config values.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Recognize Claude and Codex command shims.

If wrap launches claude.cmd or codex.cmd, native_harness_name returns None. Wrap then skips native MCP setup, so those harnesses cannot send the configured receipt and their deliveries remain unconfirmed. The existing paste-submit check already recognizes these command shims. Accept .cmd and .bat here as well. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve screen acceptance for non-native CLIs.

assess_harness_acceptance accepts generic activity and cat process echo. assess_delivery_acceptance discards those results unless a native receipt is confirmed. The callers then report the delivery as unconfirmed, so non-native harnesses lose their screen-based acceptance fallback.
