fix(sync-service): attribute AI edits to the agent or '<user> (AI)' in history and blame - #9017
AI document edits showed the wrong author in history and blame (MACRO-019f9518-5cdb-7ada-a069-d9ee300b5482):
The sync service recorded only the token's user_id for each peer. An agent's edits (token carries actor: bot|<uuid>) were attributed to the human it acted for. Blame showed that human; history collapsed every AI peer into "Macro".
AI writers took peer ids from a 1000-wide block with a counter that restarts in every worker isolate. Later edit sessions re-registered the same peer ids, and INSERT OR REPLACE into peer_user_map rewrote who earlier AI edits belonged to. In practice that meant a random person.
How it works
ai-editing-worker sync-service (D1 peer_user_map) web history / blame
nextAiPeerId() = 0xA1A1A1<<40 peer -> user_id, actor peerAuthorId(peer, record)
+ random 40 bits ── register ─▶ (actor from the signed token) ──▶ actor → agent's name
(never reused) AI peer → "<user> (AI)"
human peer → user
What
Stable AI peers (ai_peer.rs, collaboration/collab/ai-peer.ts, worker nextAiPeerId): AI writers draw random ids from a reserved 2^40 block under the 0xA1A1A1 prefix. A reuse would re-attribute history, so ids are no longer recycled. The legacy 999…000–999 block is still recognized for existing history. The chance of a human's random peer landing in the block is 2^-24.
Recorded identity (0003_add_peer_actor.sql, d1.rs, durable_object.rs): peer_user_map gains a nullable actor column, filled from the socket's signed claims on peer registration. /metadata and /blame/{node} return it. Additive and nullable, so old rows and an older worker keep working.
Labels (block-md/history/author.ts): peerAuthorId maps a peer to an author id:
the agent actor, labelled with the agent's name via the existing bot-profile lookup;
ai|<userId> for AI peers without an actor, labelled <user> (AI);
the user, for human peers.
History sessions, the diff "who" map, the session list, and the blame tooltip all use it.
Tests: the sync-service vitest peer_attribution.test.ts covers peer → user/actor mapping through /metadata and /blame. Rust and TS tests cover the AI peer blocks, and author.test.ts covers the peer → author mapping.
Decisions made without review:
I chose the agent's own name over <user> (AI) when an agent actor is known. <user> (AI) covers AI peers registered without an agent actor, such as the web inline edit path.
Existing history is not backfilled. Old AI peers have no recorded actor, and some mappings were already overwritten, so old edits now read <user> (AI) for the last recorded user.
The D1 migration runs in the existing deploy workflow step (wrangler d1 migrations apply) before the worker deploy.
Follow-ups
The live cursor label pool for unnamed AI editors (AI_NAMES) is unchanged. It only affects ephemeral presence, not history or blame.
Why: AI writers cycled through a 1000-id peer block whose counter restarts
with every worker isolate, so later edit sessions re-registered the same peer
ids and rewrote who earlier AI edits were attributed to.
What: AI peer ids are drawn at random from a 2^40-wide reserved block; the
legacy block stays recognized for existing history.
Why: peer_user_map stored only the token's user, so an agent's edits resolved
to the human it acted for in history and blame.
What: add a nullable actor column, fill it from the signed token when a peer
registers, and return it from the metadata and blame endpoints.
…blame
Why: history collapsed every AI peer into Macro and blame showed the human
whose token the AI editor used.
What: resolve each peer to an author (the agent actor, the user marked as AI,
or the user) and label history sessions, diffs, and blame tooltips with it.
Document history, diffs, and blame tooltips now show AI edit attribution more clearly: agent edits display the agent’s name, while other AI edits are labeled with the intended user’s name followed by “(AI).”
Human edits continue to display the associated user’s name.
Documentation
Updated guidance to explain how AI edits appear in document history and blame details.
AI peer IDs are now generated randomly within a reserved 2^40 range, while the new and legacy ranges remain recognized. The sync service stores each peer’s optional actor and returns it with peer user data for metadata and blame. Web history and blame views use peer attribution to display agent names, AI user labels, or other author names.
Priority: Normal
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to a999b
History and blame can show the wrong agent for earlier edits after a conflicting peer registration. Preserve the first attribution before merging, and make successful registrations traceable.

Preserve the first attribution for a registered peer.
INSERT OR REPLACE lets a later registration change the user and signed actor for all earlier edits by the same document/peer key. The WebSocket PeerRegisterId handler does not check write access or existing ownership. A viewer with a document token can therefore register a peer ID returned by metadata and replace its history and blame attribution. Reject conflicting registrations and retain the original mapping.

Add a span around the successful peer mapping write.
A successful PeerRegisterId awaits the D1 mapping write with no span. The only per-message span is ws.message.error, which is created after handling fails. The D1 duration exists only as a trace! event, not as a timed phase in the trace. Wrap the write in a span that records the document and peer IDs. The span then gives the registration a timed phase that can be found by its IDs.
