Summary

  • make bare npx relayfile@latest the no-prompt GitHub quickstart for the current project
  • authenticate through a tree-shaken bundle of @agent-relay/cloud instead of invoking the agent-relay CLI
  • identify both browser and device authorization as the Relayfile client so Cloud can scope invite-free admission to this onboarding path
  • preserve native setup grammar for help/version forms, dash-prefixed values, and explicitly empty token overrides
  • cancel browser/device authentication and prevent late credential persistence when setup login times out
  • preserve explicit/headless credentials, canonicalized existing mirror locations, provider-root prompts, and the prompt-driven relayfile setup form
  • document the Relayfile-specific self-service and client-specific token renewal paths

Supersedes #437 with the requested SDK boundary. Depends on AgentWorkforce/cloud#3130 for Relayfile-scoped verified self-service account creation; AgentWorkforce/agentrelay.com#53 documents the public flow.

Verification

  • npm run test --workspace=packages/cli (17/17, including client-marker propagation, native flag/token precedence, timeout cancellation, device-poll abort, and the real bundled SDK against an isolated canonical auth store)
  • go test ./... -count=1
  • npm run typecheck
  • scripts/check-contract-surface.sh
  • clean tarball pack/install smoke: relayfile --version and relayfile setup --help
  • git diff --check and manual credential-pattern scan

CI is the authoritative unrestricted rerun for this PR tip.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now provides a hosted GitHub quickstart through npx relayfile@latest. It bundles Cloud session login and refresh, derives workspace and mount defaults, preserves existing mirrors, handles naming collisions, and updates the documented setup contract.

Changes

Hosted Cloud Quickstart

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bundled Cloud authentication SDK
packages/cli/scripts/cloud-auth.cjs
Adds ensureCloudSession with browser and device login, token refresh, credential persistence, locking, timeout handling, and authenticated Cloud requests.
Cloud preflight and CLI launch
packages/cli/scripts/cloud-preflight.js, packages/cli/scripts/cloud-preflight.test.js, packages/cli/scripts/run.js, packages/cli/package.json, package.json
Validates setup arguments, prepares the shared Cloud session before launch, preserves caller credentials, handles sign-in failures, and runs the Node CLI tests.
Native quickstart and mount targeting
cmd/relayfile-cli/main.go, cmd/relayfile-cli/main_test.go
Makes no-argument execution use GitHub, the project directory name, and ./relayfile-mount. It preserves existing mirrors, disambiguates workspace collisions, and prints mount and agent prompt paths.
Hosted flow contract and documentation
README.md, docs/cli-design.md, docs/guides/*, docs/productized-cloud-mount-contract.md, packages/cli/CHANGELOG.md, .trajectories/*
Updates setup instructions and contracts for shared Cloud sessions, direct workspace creation, explicit setup variants, token recovery, and the optional agent-relay binary. It records the completed trajectory.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f0889

The quickstart now authenticates through the SDK, but symlinked project paths may still create a duplicate workspace and the expired-session message can direct users to a legacy command instead of the documented recovery path. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded issues.

Poem

A rabbit hops through Cloud login light,
Names a workspace neat and right.
GitHub joins, the mount appears,
Tokens refresh and calm the fears.
“npx relayfile,” drums the hare,
Syncing projects everywhere.

1-1: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

A generated third-party bundle is committed without a pinned regeneration path, and the tests verify it by matching its source text. cloud-auth.cjs is esbuild output for Agent Relay Cloud SDK 11.8.1, produced from sources outside this repository. Because there is no reproducible generation step recorded here, the test suite asserts on the bundle's internal identifiers instead of its behavior, so any regeneration can fail the test without a behavior change.

  • packages/cli/scripts/cloud-auth.cjs#L1-L1: add a build script or documented command that regenerates this bundle from a pinned upstream version, and record that version next to the artifact.
  • packages/cli/scripts/cloud-preflight.test.js#L96-L106: replace the two source-text regexes with behavioral assertions that inject fetchImpl and check that the device-start request and the browser login URL carry the Relayfile client identifier.

resolveSetupTarget to resolve symlink aliases, using sameFilesystemPath or
equivalent canonical mount-root comparison before disambiguating workspace
names. Preserve the existing workspace when the requested and configured
directories refer to the same physical path, and add coverage for resolving
through a symlink alias.

In `@docs/cli-design.md`:
- Line 15: Make the authentication contract consistent between npm setup
preflight and relayfile login: either route the default login flow in relayfile
login through the bundled `@agent-relay/cloud` SDK, or revise the documented
no-agent-relay guarantee so it applies only to setup; update the “Canonical auth
over local fallbacks” statement accordingly without changing explicit token or
self-hosted authentication paths.

In `@docs/productized-cloud-mount-contract.md`:
- Around line 92-96: Update Step 6, §1.4, and §5.3 of the VFS token contract to
document client-specific behavior: the Go CLI must use delegated-token for
initial minting and Cloud re-mint fallback, while the TypeScript SDK must use
/join for initial join and token refresh.

In `@packages/cli/scripts/cloud-preflight.js`:
- Around line 279-301: Propagate an AbortSignal through the ensureCloudSession
login flow and connect it to the timeout handling in the Promise.race block.
Abort the controller before rejecting when loginTimeoutMs expires, ensuring
browser callback handling, device polling, and credential persistence stop after
timeout while preserving normal successful authentication.

- Around line 323-329: Update the token-resolution error guidance in README.md
at lines 323-329 and docs/guides/vfs-cloud-setup.md at lines 335-337 to
recommend npx relayfile@latest as the clean-machine recovery command; retain
agent-relay cloud login only as a legacy alternative.

Align the documented error text with the message the CLI prints.

ErrCloudRefreshExpired in cmd/relayfile-cli/main.go (Line 1700) still reads Agent Relay cloud session requires a new sign-in; run 'agent-relay cloud login'. This guide now shows a different error and recommends npx relayfile@latest. A user who copies the printed instruction gets the legacy path, not the documented one.

Update the Go error text to name npx relayfile@latest first, or change this block to quote the message the CLI actually prints.

Release verification baseline — 2026-08-23 UTC

This is the release gate for the canonical Relayfile self-service onboarding path implemented by #438.

Three-part npm DoD (reported separately)

  1. FAIL / not released: npm view relayfile version resolves to 0.10.46, not a version >0.10.46.
  2. FAIL for the current published tarball: npm pack relayfile@0.10.46 produced relayfile-0.10.46.tgz. Its exact tar -tzf listing has zero matches for both:
    • package/scripts/cloud-auth.cjs
    • package/scripts/cloud-preflight.js
  3. BLOCKED pending a release >0.10.46: no fresh-user success claim is being made.

That 0.10.46 result is the required must-fail control: the release harness exits nonzero before authentication when run against it.

Isolated-home harness fixed before release

The registry-backed smoke harness creates one mktemp root and uses:

  • fresh HOME=$root/home
  • fresh npm_config_cache=$root/npm-cache
  • fresh npm_config_prefix=$root/npm-prefix
  • fresh cwd named relayfile-onboarding-smoke
  • env -i with only HOME, PATH, TERM, and npm cache/prefix explicitly restored
  • a pre-launch assertion that $HOME/.agentworkforce/relay/cloud-auth.json does not exist

Therefore an existing laptop/session, inherited CLOUD_API_* / RELAYFILE_* credentials, global prefix, and normal npm cache cannot satisfy the test. The canonical shared auth file visible to the test is only the one inside the new isolated HOME.

The harness then:

  1. resolves and packs the requested registry version;
  2. rejects any resolved version not >0.10.46;
  3. asserts the two exact tar members above;
  4. prints the fixed user-flow assertions before launch;
  5. runs npx --yes relayfile@<resolved-version> --no-open --once inside the isolated project;
  6. checks successful completion, the cwd-derived workspace, absolute default mount path, GitHub prompt path, ready-to-paste prompt, absence of legacy onboarding prerequisites, and creation of the canonical session only under the isolated HOME.

Fresh-user assertions fixed before observing a release

  1. Agent Relay Cloud browser/device sign-in opens.
  2. Any Google identity with a nonempty verified email is auto-provisioned for this explicitly identified Relayfile flow.
  3. No invite code, waitlist approval, copied Cloud token, or agent-relay CLI install is required.
  4. Workspace defaults to the cwd name (relayfile-onboarding-smoke).
  5. GitHub is the zero-prompt default provider.
  6. Mount defaults to ./relayfile-mount.
  7. Output contains the absolute mount path and a ready-to-paste agent prompt.

Boundary evidence on main

Checkout head: 4716a7d feat(cli): use Agent Relay SDK for zero-friction setup (#438), after c213602; release tag commit is 380bc0f chore(release): v0.10.46.

npm test --workspace=packages/cli: 18/18 pass, covering:

  • existing/caller-owned credential precedence;
  • canonical existing-session use without leaking credentials into the child env;
  • --no-open;
  • custom --login-timeout propagation;
  • cancellation aborting pending work and preventing a late credential write;
  • bundled SDK device-poll cancellation without storing credentials;
  • browser-launch failure tolerance while timeout remains effective.

Source tests also predeclare cwd/GitHub/./relayfile-mount defaults and preservation of a workspace's recorded mirror path on quickstart rerun. This sandbox does not have Go installed, so I could not independently execute those focused Go tests here.

The invite-free exemption scope (Relayfile-identified flows only), ordinary-dashboard/other-CLI admission behavior, verified-email provisioning, and team-invite auto-accept must be confirmed by the deployed Cloud integration suite; the CLI smoke must not infer those server-side properties.

No package was published, no code was merged, and no credentials were rotated.

0.10.47 live release verification — 2026-08-23 UTC

Three-part npm DoD (individual results)

  1. PASS: authoritative registry resolution is now relayfile@latest = 0.10.47, which is >0.10.46.

  2. PASS: npm pack relayfile@0.10.47 exact tar listing contains:

    • package/scripts/cloud-auth.cjs
    • package/scripts/cloud-preflight.js

    The identical gate previously exited 1 against 0.10.46, which contained neither file.

  3. NOT COMPLETE / interactive authorization required: the hermetic live run reached genuine Agent Relay Cloud device authorization, but I cannot complete a Google browser identity challenge from this sandbox. I did not simulate authorization and do not claim fresh-user completion.

Hermetic live evidence

Exact bare command under env -i, fresh HOME/cache/prefix/cwd:

HOME=/tmp/relayfile-live.61GMN3/home
npm cache=/tmp/relayfile-live.61GMN3/cache
npm prefix=/tmp/relayfile-live.61GMN3/prefix
cwd=/tmp/relayfile-live.61GMN3/relayfile-live-project
npx --yes relayfile@latest

The isolated canonical $HOME/.agentworkforce/relay/cloud-auth.json was absent before launch.

Observed from the real 0.10.47 package:

Relayfile setup. This signs you in, connects an integration, and prepares a local VFS mount.

To authorize this machine, visit:
  https://agentrelay.com/cloud/device?client=relayfile
...
Or open this link directly:
  https://agentrelay.com/cloud/device?client=relayfile&user_code=...
Waiting for authorization...

I cancelled at that point. The isolated canonical credential file was absent immediately after cancellation and remained absent after two seconds: cancellation/late-write boundary PASS.

A second clean-home published-package run used:

npx --yes relayfile@0.10.47 setup --no-open --login-timeout=1200ms \
  --provider github --workspace project --local-dir ./relayfile-mount

It printed the tagged device URL, waited, and failed with exactly:

Relayfile Cloud sign-in failed: Cloud sign-in timed out after 1200ms

No canonical credential existed two seconds later. Thus --no-open PASS, custom timeout propagation PASS, and timeout cancellation/late write PASS.

I also extracted the actual 0.10.47 tarball and ran its bundled cloud-preflight.test.js: 18/18 pass. This covers existing/caller-owned credential precedence, canonical existing-session behavior, SDK client markers, device cancellation, browser-launch error tolerance, headless mode, custom timeout propagation, and late-write prevention.

Expected-flow steps, individually

  1. PASS through sign-in launch: exact bare npx relayfile@latest entered Agent Relay Cloud device sign-in and printed a usable client=relayfile URL.
  2. UNREACHABLE in this sandbox: Google verified-email auto-provisioning requires a human to complete the browser/device identity flow.
  3. PARTIAL: before authorization, no invite code, waitlist approval, copied token, or agent-relay install was requested. Post-authorization completion is not yet observed.
  4. STRUCTURALLY PROVEN, live post-auth blocked: 0.10.47 binary/source tests set bare quickstart workspace to cwd basename; cannot observe workspace creation until authorization completes.
  5. STRUCTURALLY PROVEN, live post-auth blocked: bare quickstart injects GitHub without a provider prompt; integration handoff occurs after authorization.
  6. STRUCTURALLY PROVEN, live post-auth blocked: bare quickstart injects ./relayfile-mount; mount startup occurs after authorization.
  7. STRUCTURALLY PROVEN, live post-auth blocked: implementation/tests print the absolute mount path and ready-to-paste prompt; live output cannot reach that point without authorization.

Boundary results

  • Invite-free admission limited to Relayfile flows; no leak to dashboard/other CLI: UNREACHABLE here — requires separate identities/entrypoints against deployed Cloud.
  • Existing sessions and explicit/environment credential precedence: PASS, published tarball tests.
  • Quickstart rerun preserves recorded mirror path: STRUCTURALLY PASS in source test; live rerun blocked by auth.
  • Team invite auto-accept: UNREACHABLE here — requires a real pending team invite and completed identity.
  • --no-open: PASS live.
  • Cancellation prevents late writes: PASS live (SIGINT and timeout cases).
  • Browser-launch failure leaves a usable URL: PARTIAL/PASS for headless fallback live (usable direct URL printed); launch-error tolerance also passes bundled test.
  • Custom --login-timeout: PASS live at 1200ms and in bundled tests.

Human completion required

A human must open the printed Relayfile-tagged device URL, enter the displayed one-time code, and authenticate with a Google identity having a nonempty verified email while the same isolated process remains running. The verifier must then capture whether admission is automatic, whether any legacy prerequisite appears, and the resulting workspace/provider/mount/prompt output. A second bare run in the same isolated HOME/workspace is needed to live-confirm recorded mirror preservation and existing-session precedence. Separate dashboard/other-CLI identities and a pending team invite are needed for the two server-side boundary checks.

No aggregate “npx latest works for fresh users” claim is made.
