feat(backend): APNs push notifications for iOS devices - #482
Native push notifications for the Rune iOS app, part 1 of 2: the backend. The app side is the next PR in the stack.
What changed
Devices.pushDevice.register and pushDevice.unregister store a device's APNs token in the user's UserObject (push_devices, at most 10 per user).
A directory index (push_device_tokens) records which user owns each token, and the newest registration wins.
When another account registers the same token, the previous owner's object forgets it. This way a phone never receives the last signed-in user's messages.
When a push is sent.user.createNotification queues one push.send outbox effect per device. It uses the existing notification rules (levels, mutes, quiet hours, viewing the channel), and silent notifications are never pushed.
If the user is offline or away, it's sent right away.
If the user is active on another client, it waits 60s and is sent only if the notification is still unread then. Reading the channel deletes the notification.
Do not disturb: nothing is sent.
A message deleted before the push goes out is not pushed: deleting a message now removes its notifications.
What it shows. The title is Author · #channel. A DM shows the author alone, and a thread reply reads · thread in #parent.
The body is up to 180 characters of plain text, with mentions turned into @Name.
The badge is the number of unread, non-silent notifications.
Tapping opens /<org>/chat/<channel>.
APNs. Requests are signed with an ES256 provider token (WebCrypto), cached per isolate. Each request carries apns-collapse-id, an expiration of the notification's creation time plus 1 day, and an 8s timeout.
A 410 or BadDeviceToken deletes the device.
ExpiredProviderToken re-signs the provider token once and retries.
InvalidProviderToken is logged and dropped.
A 429 or 5xx retries through the outbox until the notification is a day old.
The device token never appears in spans, logs or outbox errors: HttpClient tracing is turned off for this call.
Secrets.APNS_KEY_ID, APNS_TEAM_ID and APNS_PRIVATE_KEY are optional. Without them push is off and nothing is queued.
Migrations.0003_push_devices (user store) and 0004_push_device_tokens (directory) only create tables. New payload fields are optional, so outbox rows queued before the deploy still decode.
Verification
apps/backend: typecheck (both configs) passes, and bunx vitest run passes 97 files and 872 tests. The new tests cover:
the push decision;
deferral, followed by a send or a drop;
deleted messages;
token handover between users, including a late claim and a forged forget;
each APNs response class;
the provider token checked against its public key;
no trace headers and no token in errors;
emoji-safe truncation;
the device cap.
packages/db: 36 tests pass, including schema-ddl.
Two independent review passes, with every finding fixed or noted below.
Not verified yet: a real APNs call. A deployed Worker reaches APNs over HTTP/2, but local workerd can't (workerd#4841). This is checked on the preview, once the APNs key is in Infisical.
Known limits
Ownership is decided by comparing two Durable Objects' clocks. Clock skew larger than the time it takes to switch accounts could leave the token with the wrong owner. That's unlikely.
A device deleted after a 410 or by the cap keeps its directory row. This is harmless: a later claim's forget simply does nothing.
A UserObject sends each non-silent notification to the user's registered
iOS devices through the outbox (push.send), now while they are away or
offline, after 60 s while they are active elsewhere and only if still
unread. APNs is reached with an ES256 provider token; a gone device is
forgotten. APNS_KEY_ID, APNS_TEAM_ID and APNS_PRIVATE_KEY are optional:
without them push is off.

…t pushed
- A directory index (push_device_tokens) names each APNs token's owner; registering claims it,
and the previous owner's UserObject forgets the token (user.forgetPushDevice, guarded by
updatedAt). Unregister releases the row if it is still the caller's.
- Deleting a message drops its notifications in the members' UserObjects (org.messageDeleted ->
user.deleteMessageNotifications), so a deferred or retrying push finds nothing to send.
- The APNs request has no HttpClient span or trace headers, its own 8 s timeout, a collapse id,
and transport errors without the URL; expiration counts from the notification.
- InvalidProviderToken is dropped with an error; ExpiredProviderToken re-signs once
(compare-and-delete). The badge counts unread, non-silent notifications.
- A 410 never deletes a registration newer than the send; at most 10 devices per user.
- Push bodies and the notification content are cut by code points; push content is worked
out only when some recipient is not silent.

This change adds APNs push delivery, device registration and token ownership, and message notification content and deletion handling. It also updates the iOS build script to check for build output before reading it.
Adds user-device and directory token-ownership tables, database snapshots and migration, and authenticated registration and unregistration RPC definitions. Adds the RPC group to scope maps and client and server registration.
Registration and unregistration run with user-object authorization and update local device records and directory ownership. Effects route claims, releases, and forget requests, with checks for sender identity and claim timestamps.
Message notifications now carry content and attachment counts. Push content includes a formatted title, plain-text body, and optional channel path. Deletion effects remove matching notifications and update unread counts.
Per-device push scheduling and delivery apps/backend/src/worker/objects/user/push.ts, apps/backend/src/worker/objects/user/push.test.ts, apps/backend/src/worker/objects/testing.ts, apps/backend/src/worker/objects/push-notifications.test.ts
Pushes are skipped, sent immediately, or deferred based on configuration, notification details, device state, and presence. Per-device sends check notification and device state, build APNs payloads, and handle retryable outcomes and unregistered devices.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 387ef
Push notifications for iOS are added. In a rare race, two accounts registering the same device token at nearly the same moment can leave a stale registration. If the winning account then signs out, the other account's notification content could be pushed to that phone. Close this gap before relying on the account-switch guarantee.

Review comments at @apps/backend/src/worker/objects/org/notification-count.ts:
- Around line 42-43: Update the notification-count update around
notificationCount and payload.count to perform one subtraction clamped at zero,
so a count of 5 with a decrement of 3 becomes 2. Remove the separate matching
logic that can apply a second decrement, using the update mechanism’s supported
atomic expression.
Review comments at @apps/backend/src/worker/objects/user/push-ownership.ts:
- Line 107: Coordinate the tokenOwner read with the ownership change so
concurrent claims for the same token cannot both proceed as though it were
unowned. Serialize claims per token or use an atomic ownership transition that
identifies and removes any displaced user’s push_devices registration, while
preserving the conditional upsert’s timestamp protection.
Review comments at @apps/backend/src/worker/objects/user/push.ts:
- Line 252: Update sendPush to read the user’s current presence immediately
before the apns.send call and drop the push when that status is dnd. Use the
existing presence mechanism, and ensure the online → deferred → dnd → alarm
sequence does not deliver the push.
- Around line 237-239: Ensure a previous owner’s pending push cannot reach APNs
after token ownership moves: establish the authoritative ownership check and its
consistency guarantees, then update sendPush to validate current ownership
before sending or ensure registration waits for the transfer to complete.
Preserve the existing unregistered-device handling and do not rely solely on the
previous owner’s pushDevicesTable row.

… it goes out
- push.send reads the token's directory row: claimed by another user at or after this object's
registration (its forget not delivered yet), it is not sent and the local row goes. This also
covers two users claiming an unowned token at once. The owner is the delivering UserObject
itself (CurrentEffectSender, its stored id).
- A push deferred while online is held back if the user is on do not disturb when it is due.
- org.notificationsRemoved clamps at 0 in the right order (zero the counts too low, then
subtract), with a test.

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. Every source hunk read; ownership handover, outbox retry and count clamping are pinned by tests, with only a real APNs call unverified. no findings · tests covered · risk high · 5/5 new units observable
Adds backend APNs push: pushDevice.register/unregister, a push.send outbox effect per device, ES256 provider-token signing, and a D1 push_device_tokens owner index that hands a token to its newest owner. Contained and safe to merge; the McpQueryError issues whose frames land in effects/registry.ts are unrelated to this diff and are not addressed by it.
pushDevice.register/unregister store a token in the caller's own UserObject
schedulePush queues one push.send per device, deferred 60 s while the user is active
ApnsClient signs ES256 provider tokens and classifies each APNs refusal
push_device_tokens in D1 moves a token to its newest owner

Do not treat a missing directory row as proof that a token has no other owner.
Two accounts can claim the same new token at nearly the same time. Each claim reads no owner before either writes. Neither claim forgets the other, so both local push_devices rows remain. If the winning account unregisters, releasePushToken deletes the directory row. A later push from the losing account then finds no owner, passes the check, and sends that account's notification content to the token.
Requiring a confirmed owner before every send would break a sender's own first claim that has not yet landed. Keep the send path open for that case, but record that the token was released from a competing claim. For example, keep a tombstone or ownership generation that the losing push can compare, or make the sender wait for its own claim before sending. Cover the case where both claims race and the winner then unregisters.
