fix(hosts): preserve maintenance across protocol upgrades - #492
Ship independently versioned maintenance API v1 on its own authenticated discovery/WebSocket endpoint, separate from application Protocol v12. Status, session inventory/activity, capabilities and software updates survive application incompatibility.
Give v10/v11 daemons an isolated update-only shim: welcome them as their own protocol and speak only their unchanged updater's checkUpdates/updateSoftware contract, with target compatibility 12–12. Never adopt or kill legacy sessions or forward application traffic.
Preserve authentication, busy-host checks, preflight, process-identity safeguards, rollback and shared-install restart-only behavior. Accept v10's older descriptor only for a restart-only update, which does not need repository metadata.
Prepare 0.7.1 and document the cutover.
Verification
Full suite: 4,113 passed, 11 skipped, zero failures across 318 files. Typecheck passed. ESLint reported zero errors and seven existing warnings.
Real historical v10 (546a945d, package 0.6.0) and v11 (3a56e79b, package 0.7.0) daemons/updaters each upgraded to this release in both separate and already-replaced shared installations. Fakes are limited to registry/release/npm delivery and the omp executable; old updater code runs unchanged.
Independent API stays available after application-version rejection; idle and active session inventory, no false busy state, no API-only update-health acknowledgement.
Legacy activity isolation, no replay of uncertain updates, no application messages crossing modes, current-peer displacement protection.
Browser smoke: actual Settings → Hosts surface, legacy needs-upgrade row with enabled Update, confirmation and completion; session and cluster controls remain unavailable.
Production browser build passed. Built the pinned omp runner and passed npm run smoke, including a live session through the runner, daemon discovery and sustained event streaming.
Upgrade
Update the web server first, then Settings → Hosts → Update. Close host session processes beforehand: the unchanged native updater refuses busy hosts. Shared installations restart only the host after the server has replaced the package. An old daemon that already exited must be started once. Reverse proxies must forward /api/hosts/maintenance WebSocket upgrades with the same host bearer authentication.
Limits
No v10/v11 application runtime adapter. Real legacy proof covers POSIX npm installations, not Windows, compiled-binary or service-supervised old installations. Maintenance inventory answers an explicit 413 when metadata exceeds its 1 MiB frame limit; it never silently truncates.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a separate host maintenance connection for checking status, viewing sessions, and updating software—even when the host’s application protocol is incompatible.
Added an upgrade path from Settings for v10 and v11 hosts, with updates limited to supported maintenance operations until the host is upgraded.
Bug Fixes
Improved host update availability and status reporting for upgrade-only and temporarily disconnected hosts.
Improved restart-only updates for shared installations.
Documentation
Added guidance for legacy host upgrades and reverse-proxy WebSocket configuration.
Introduce independent maintenance API v1 alongside application Protocol v12. Welcome v10 and v11 daemons through an update-only shim using their unchanged updater contract, including shared-install restart-only descriptors. Preserve native update safety and verify real historical daemon upgrades.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
This change adds Maintenance API v1 as a separate host connection and advances the application protocol to v12. Protocol v10 and v11 hosts use an upgrade-only shim. Host update routes, update controls, tests, and documentation are updated for this maintenance and upgrade flow.
Changes: Host maintenance API and daemon connection
Adds authenticated maintenance discovery and WebSocket handling, API v1 frame validation, host requests, and status and session routes. Server routing and socket dispatch include maintenance connections.
Adds daemon discovery, connection retries, request handling, status and session reporting, credential rekeying, and shutdown handling. Integration tests cover maintenance behavior across application-protocol mismatch and active sessions.
Advances the supported application protocol to v12. Versions 10 and 11 are restricted to update operations, while maintenance requests use API v1 when available. Restart-only update descriptors may omit releaseRepo.
Update controls permit eligible upgrade-only hosts to fetch status and submit update requests. Documentation describes the upgrade sequence, shim limits, maintenance API, and proxy paths. The package version changes to 0.7.1.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to caffb
This change keeps host maintenance and updates available when application protocols differ, and limits v10 and v11 hosts to update operations. No unresolved merge-blocking issue remains in the reviewed changes.
Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to caffb
The inspected design preserves host authentication, isolates legacy hosts from application operations, and avoids automatically repeating updates whose delivery is uncertain. No introduced or worsened security, ownership, or rollback risk was established in the reviewed paths.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — A host bearer determines the maintenance socket's registry host identity; the hello cannot select another host ID. Replacement and request routing are keyed to that identity. Session inventory includes titles, working directories and activity metadata; update authority reaches the associated daemon's installation and process lifecycle.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Legacy application links reject non-update requests and cannot displace a live current-protocol application socket. Maintenance dispatch accepts only advertised operations after welcome, validates request arguments, and bounds concurrent requests. Obsolete maintenance sockets cannot settle requests belonging to their replacements.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The new update caller retains shared busy-state checks and the existing atomic update claim. Before disruptive work, the updater rechecks safety; the worker verifies descriptor ownership and daemon process identity, and refuses to start a rollback daemon when the failed candidate cannot be stopped safely.

Explanation
The title "fix(hosts): preserve maintenance across protocol upgrades" matches the main change. The PR separates maintenance API v1 from application Protocol v12, so host status, session inventory, and software updates stay available when application protocols are incompatible. The changeset adds the maintenance WebSocket hub, daemon maintenance client, and an upgrade-only shim for v10/v11 daemons, all of which support that title.

Review comments at @lib/hosts/maintenance-protocol.ts:
- Line 88: Update the failure-message fallback so it uses a fixed non-throwing
message when e.message is not a string, rather than coercing the entire error
value; preserve the existing 500-character limit. Add a regression test that
sends a response frame with a non-callable toString through requestMaintenance
and verifies the promise rejects instead of remaining pending.
Review comments at @lib/hosts/v10-upgrade.integration.test.mjs:
- Line 100: Guard the `stdout` returned by `spawnSync` in `processesUnder`
before splitting it, treating null or undefined output as an empty string so
cleanup returns an empty process list instead of throwing.
