Validate every message the relay receives, and make the inbound frame a discriminated union - #564
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The outbound direction has been compile-checked since #419; nothing checked the inbound one. `RelayMessage` was a flat interface where `type` was the only required member, so every field the relay read was optional by construction and every field it needed came with a `!` — which is how it could declare `format?` against the protocol's required `format` with nothing to report it (#550). `@tapflowio/protocol/validate` is a second entry point, relay-only, that parses an inbound frame into a discriminated union (#444). A parse rather than a cast: narrowing with `as` would have turned the one visible `msg.payload as ChromePayload` into an invisible `msg.payload`, with the compiler vouching for JSON from a socket. Two tiers, with different static types, so a field that was not validated does not appear in the type. Validated parses to the interface; Envelope parses to `EnvelopeOf<I>` and its payload is unreadable. The whole agent direction is Envelope except the six messages the relay consumes: `ChromePayload` is a closed two-member union while `AgentRegister.platform` is open by OCP, so validating `session:chrome` would refuse a third-party platform the repo promises to support — permanently, since it arrives once per boot and a rejection empties the re-join replay too. Forwarding differs by direction and both halves are checked: agent-origin frames go on as they arrived so a newer agent keeps its added fields; browser-origin frames go on as the parse product so a key appended from devtools does not reach a device. Deleted: `RelayMessage`, `MessageType` (62 hand-copied literals), `AGENT_MSG_TYPE_LIST` (29 more) with its assertions, `isAddressed`, `isCorrelated`, and every `msg.sessionId!`. 15 mutations run against the new guards, 15 caught — including a payload added to an Envelope schema as `z.unknown()` / `z.any()` / `z.custom<T>()`, which the first design's weaker assertion passed on all three.

…d log every rejection
Two reviews, two lenses. Eight findings, six fixed here and two corrections to
prose that argued for a design this change removed.
**`agent:register` rejected an agent that omits `platform` or `agentName`.** The
schema's own comment claimed every `.default()` mirrored a `??` in the relay, and
it was false: `agentName ?? agentId ?? 'unknown'` and `platform ?? 'unknown'` are
in the connect log, and neither field was defaulted. That message is the most
expensive rejection in the protocol — no `agent:registered` goes back, the
agent's handshake promise never resolves, and the whole Mac disappears from the
dashboard. Both are `.default('')` now, deliberately falsy because the relay's
eviction runs `if (identity)` where identity is `agentId ?? agentName`; the log
line takes `||`.
**Two of three rejection reasons never reached the log.** `settleRole` returns
false for them, and the log sat behind it — so a malformed handshake on a
role-less socket was dropped in silence, which is the exact skew the log exists
to make visible. Logging now happens first, once per failure.
**`correlatedRequestsGated` accepted an inline `requestId: z.string()`.** Its
header claims to cover the empty string; a text regex could not see a single call
site dropping `.min(1)`, and no other gate can either — that is why `.min(1)`
costs the tier assertions nothing. It walks the AST for the top-level property
now, and the mutation the reviewer described is caught.
Prose corrected: eleven `msg.sessionId!` in protocol/AGENTS.md (there are none),
62 literals (63), "the relay validates nothing on the way in", four sites still
naming `isAddressed`/`isCorrelated`/`AGENT_MSG_TYPES` as live, and two claiming
agent replies are forwarded as `JSON.stringify(msg)`. The changeset promised an
error reply for every refused request; only `app:install`/`app:launch` keep one,
and #563 is the decision for the rest. The zod dependency and the `./validate`
subpath were missing from both release notes.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughInbound relay frames now pass through runtime protocol validation. The relay uses discriminated unions and direction metadata for routing, strips undeclared browser fields, preserves raw agent frames, and returns correlated errors for malformed answerable requests. The protocol exposes validation through a separate runtime entry point. ChangesInbound validation and relay integration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds inbound frame validation, but two app-command handlers still rely on non-null buildId assertions while the schema remains unconfirmed, leaving a concrete malformed-request correctness gap.

Filed as a follow-up and that was wrong twice. It is not a follow-up. Today a malformed `open-url` reaches the agent and the agent's own guard answers `open-url:error` — `IOSAgent.ts:1124` says so beside that guard and names this validation as "#444, which will take this over". Taking the responsibility without taking the answer converts an answered failure into silence, so it is a regression the door itself ships, not a pre-existing gap. Worst on the inputs: `awaitInputAck` reports silence from a session that has never acked as success (#457), so a dropped `input:key` reads to an MCP caller as an input that landed. Nor does it need a per-message design decision, which was the stated reason for splitting it. The envelope is judged separately from the payload, so a frame with a good `sessionId` and `requestId` carries everything a reply needs — one mechanism for all twelve. `reason: 'malformed'` is not a new member either; the input vocabulary already had it, and until now only agents produced it. `buildId`'s `.catch(NaN)` goes with it. It existed to keep one answer alive through a special case, and it was the wrong answer anyway: `Build not found` describes a lookup, and for a malformed id no lookup ran. Both handler guards it kept alive are now unreachable and deleted. Three lists have to agree and only one is derived — the correlated request set from the protocol, `ANSWERABLE`, and the replies in `refuseMalformed`. Nothing compared them, so `correlatedRequestsGated` now does, including that a non-input request must be answered by name rather than falling to the `input:error` default. 7 mutations, 7 caught. One of them is the bug this commit shipped and fixed in place: `settleRole` did not extract the type for `bad-payload`, so the twelve were classified correctly and dropped anyway, one line above the code that answers them. Closes #563. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… case label The gate added one commit ago collected `case` labels and stopped there, and a label proves nothing: `sendTo` takes `RelayOutbound`, so every `*-error` literal is a valid member and the compiler is indifferent to which one a branch sends. Substituting `input:error` for `open-url:error`, or leaving a case empty, passed it and every other check — while `flow-runner`'s waiter keys on the `open-url:*` pair, so the caller would burn its full deadline. That is the regression `refuseMalformed` exists to prevent, reintroduced inside it. The reply table is listed where the key set is derived, and the asymmetry is deliberate: which request is answerable is a fact about the protocol, while which reply answers it is a fact about consumers' waiters and the naming is not uniform enough to compute — `open-url` answers `open-url:error`, both clipboard requests share one reply, and four inputs share another. Also: two comments in `appCommandErrors.test.ts` still described the `Number.isInteger` guards this branch deleted, and the note beside the new call site claimed the role gate stops more than it does — an agent-role socket sending a malformed browser request passes it and is answered, which is harmless and worth saying rather than implying otherwise. 5 mutations, 5 caught, including the reviewer's exact case.

…ms (CodeRabbit) Three findings on #564. **The rejection warn was one line per rejected frame**, on the direction a viewer with devtools controls and at the rate a gesture produces — the unbounded, attacker-driven log volume this very file already refuses at `forwardUnacked`, with the reason written beside it. I wrote that reason and then broke it two hundred lines up. The suggested fix was a module-level timestamp, and that fixes the volume by breaking the diagnostic: one noisy socket would swallow the *first* bad frame from another, which is the skewed-client case (`mcp-server` upgraded without the relay) the log exists to surface. So the state is keyed by socket in a `WeakMap` that needs no cleanup, the first rejection from any socket is always written, and the next line says how many were swallowed. `unknown-type` shares the throttle so turning debug on cannot reintroduce the volume. `a second socket still gets its first line` is the assertion that carries the design — it is the only one a global throttle fails, and it does. Also: the release notes said the relay validates "every message" while the same notes explain that agent payloads deliberately are not, so both now say what is checked for every frame and what is checked in full. And a line in `protocol/AGENTS.md` began with `#490`, which markdown renders as a heading. 4 mutations, 4 caught, including the global-throttle sketch.

Summary
The outbound direction has been compile-checked since #419; nothing checked the inbound one. The
relay's
RelayMessagewas a flat interface wheretypewas the only required member, so every fieldit read was optional by construction and every field it needed came with a
!— which is how it coulddeclare
format?against the protocol's requiredformatwith nothing to report it.@tapflowio/protocol/validateis a new relay-only entry point that parses an inbound frame into adiscriminated union at the door. A parse rather than a cast on purpose: narrowing with
aswould haveturned the one visible
msg.payload as ChromePayloadinto an invisiblemsg.payload, with thecompiler vouching for JSON from a socket. Two tiers, with different static types, so a field the door
did not validate does not appear in the type.
A refused request is answered where it has a reply, not merely dropped. The envelope is judged
separately from the payload, so a frame with a good
sessionIdandrequestIdcarries everything areply needs. Without that this door would have converted an answered failure into silence — a
malformed
open-urlreaches the agent today and its guard answers, andIOSAgent.tsnames thisvalidation as what takes that over.
Closes #444, closes #550, closes #563.
