fix(auth): enforce sponsor authority server-side - #324
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds RelayAuth sponsor-grant authority for hosted workspace and agent credentials. It persists immutable sponsor and work-unit bindings, protects destructive operations, supports legacy-agent migration, updates REST and fleet routes, and adds Rust SDK APIs and conformance tests. ChangesCredential contracts and persistence
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds server-side sponsor authority and durable ownership checks, but the current head still permits an authority bypass on a node-control registration path and can expose sponsor or work-unit credentials through debug output. Those issues could enable unauthorized credential operations or leak secrets, so the PR is high risk and should not merge until they are fixed; API contract inconsistencies and public verification-cost exposure also need owner follow-up.

Open question for the RelayAuth contract owner: sponsor grants are replayable within their TTLReviewed as relaycast-324 lane. Filing this as an explicit open question rather than a passing note, per lead direction — this needs a decision, not an assumption. Mechanism (
Consequence: This does not cross the sponsor boundary this PR closes (every resulting agent is still correctly bound to the same verified sponsor/org/OIDC subject — confirmed via the cross-sponsor test at Two options, either of which closes it:
If unbounded batch issuance from one grant is intentional (e.g. a sponsor authorizing a fleet-wide provisioning run), that's a legitimate design — but it should be stated as such here, not left implicit. — relaycast-324 |

This commit adds backward-compatible public engine routes/configuration and exported @relaycast/types schemas, but the root pending level remains Patch while the engine and types package changelogs receive their first entries under bare [Unreleased]. This loses the declared SemVer impact and prevents cut-changelog.mjs from detecting a package-level mis-bump; raise the root, engine, and types headings to [Unreleased - Minor].

The second duplicate property here leaves /nodes/{node}/actions/{name}/invoke documented with only input, even though routes/node.ts now parses and requires registration_authority when invoking a destructive release. OpenAPI-generated clients therefore do not expose the field needed to call that protected path; remove this duplicate and add the property to the node-addressed request schema.

Derive the agent result index from a single source of truth.
credentialClaimColumns is called twice: once inside the runAtomicWrites callback at Line 162 and again at Line 231 to compute agentResultIndex. The two calls agree today. If the claim-insert condition changes later, the index becomes wrong, and Line 234 destructures a nodes row into agent. That failure is silent and produces a corrupt registration response.
Compute the claim once before runAtomicWrites and reuse it.

Do not derive credential-authority configuration from optional completion dependencies.
When a direct handleNodeControlMessage caller omits completionDeps, agent.register passes {} to authorizeNewNamedAgentCredential, which returns mode: 'unenforced'. This bypasses sponsor validation for callers that use configured credential authority.
Pass EngineConfig as a required, independent argument. Preserve unenforced behavior only when that configuration has no agentCredentialAuthority.

Confirm the intent of the optional registration_authority on this route.
bindCredentialAuthoritySchema marks registration_authority optional. bindLegacyAgentCredential returns { mode: 'unenforced' } when authority is not configured, so an empty body succeeds with { bound: true } on a self-hosted deployment. openapi.yaml declares the same body as required: true with required: [registration_authority]. Align the specification with this behavior, or make the field required in the schema. As per coding guidelines: "Keep README.md and openapi.yaml aligned with actual behavior".

Redact the secret work-unit key from Debug output.
AgentRegistrationAuthority derives Debug and holds two secrets: the sponsor grant and the stable work-unit capability. openapi.yaml marks work_unit_key as writeOnly and describes it as a secret. Any {:?} formatting of this struct, including inside a wrapping error or request type, writes both secrets to logs. Implement Debug manually and print placeholders.

| ## Hosted credential authority | ||
|
|
||
| The hosted service does not treat a workspace key as sufficient authority to | ||
| mint or rotate an agent credential. Workspace creation and every agent-token | ||
| issuance path—including REST registration, rotation, A2A proxy registration, | ||
| and node-control `agent.register`—require a short-lived RS256 RelayAuth sponsor | ||
| grant. The server verifies its pinned key, issuer, audience, organization, | ||
| expiry, and `identity.create` intent, then stores the sponsor and work-unit | ||
| binding in dedicated immutable columns. Caller-editable agent metadata is never | ||
| used for this decision. | ||
|
|
||
| Self-hosted engine deployments can omit `config.agentCredentialAuthority` to | ||
| retain workspace-key-only operation. Hosted adapters must configure it and fail | ||
| closed if their trust root is unavailable. Agents created before this contract | ||
| use `POST /v1/agent/credential-authority` once with their incumbent agent token, | ||
| a fresh sponsor grant, and their stable work-unit key; a workspace key cannot | ||
| perform that migration. | ||

Document that destructive operations also require authority.
The section lists creation, rotation, A2A registration, and node-control agent.register. packages/engine/CHANGELOG.md states that agent deletion and release with delete_agent=true also require a sponsor grant. A hosted operator who reads only this section receives an unexpected 403 on DELETE /v1/agents/{name}. Add one sentence for the destructive paths.

<comment>When a legacy agent has all authority columns NULL, an update of only `sponsor_id`, `sponsor_proof_hash`, or another authority field bypasses this trigger because every `OLD` value is NULL. That persists a partial binding and permanently prevents the incumbent-token migration, defeating the write-once/all-or-none invariant. Reject partial NULL-to-non-NULL transitions unless the complete binding and matching claim are written atomically.</comment>

P2: When the first authority-bearing registration returns 429, this helper never retries the server: the client’s 60-second cooldown makes the next two attempts return Blocked after only two-second sleeps. Honor registration_retry_after_secs(&error) before retrying, or avoid retrying rate-limit errors here.

P2: When callers log an authority with {:?}, the derived implementation writes the sponsor proof and work-unit key to logs. Implement redacted Debug output for both authority types instead of deriving Debug, because a leaked pair can authorize protected agent actions.

P2: retry_agent_registration_with_authority is a near-verbatim copy of the existing retry_agent_registration (25 lines), differing only in the method it calls (register_agent_token_with_authority) and the extra registration_authority parameter. Any future change to retry semantics (backoff, attempt count, retry-classification) must now be maintained in two places and can drift. Fold the shared loop into one helper that takes a closure or the per-attempt registration future.

P2: The durable workspace org pin in authorizeNewAgentCredential is written as a standalone committed UPDATE (pinEmptyWorkspaceSponsorOrg) before the atomic registration batch runs in registerAgent/registerAgentViaNode. runAtomicWrites only covers the claim/node/agent inserts, so if that later batch aborts (e.g. a losing claim race, or agents_credential_claim_mismatch from the insert guard), the workspace is left permanently pinned to the failed grant's org: the workspace_sponsor_org_immutable trigger prevents repinning and bindLegacyAgentCredential refuses to change it. On an unpinned/legacy workspace, this also lets a malicious first sponsored registrant pin the workspace's org and lock out the legitimate sponsor. Move the org pin into the same atomic batch as the agent/claim writes (or gate it so a failed registration rolls it back) so a failed first registration cannot durably commit an org binding.

P3: This is the first pending user-visible entry in the [Unreleased] block (previous release 8.0.0 left it empty), so per AGENTS.md the heading must be set to [Unreleased - Patch], [Unreleased - Minor], or [Unreleased - Major] based on SemVer impact. It is left at the bare ## [Unreleased]. scripts/cut-changelog.mjs derives the release level from [Unreleased - (Patch|Minor|Major)] in the heading, so without a level the pending release impact is recorded as null and the mis-bump guard never fires. Update the heading to e.g. ## [Unreleased - Minor] when adding this entry.

P3: This adds the first pending user-visible entries to packages/engine/CHANGELOG.md, but the heading stays ## [Unreleased] instead of ## [Unreleased - Patch] (or Minor/Major). Per AGENTS.md changelog rules, an empty post-release changelog starts at [Unreleased] and the first pending user-visible change must set a release-level heading such as [Unreleased - Patch]; leaving it un-levelled makes the publish workflow (scripts/cut-changelog.mjs) cut this release with the wrong SemVer level. The root CHANGELOG.md already labels this same engine authority change as ## [Unreleased - Patch], so the engine heading should match.

P3: In registered_agent_client_with_authority, a failure of the caller's registration_authority closure (e.g. missing sponsor key, proof-generation error) is mapped to AgentRegistrationError::Transport. Transport is classified as retryable by registration_is_retryable, so hosted callers that retry on Transport status will spin needlessly on a non-transient authority-resolution failure, and the error message mislabels a configuration/authority problem as a network failure. Return/emit a distinct, non-retryable error for authority resolution instead.

Closing — the sponsor-authority design is retired, not fixedKhaliq has ruled that this design direction is retired: "if we are not going with that design then those two related prs should be closed right?" relay#1505 ("security: close sponsor-registration authority bypass") closed for the same reason. Closing this PR and relaycast-cloud#60 together. Say it plainly: the exposure this PR set out to close is not fixed. It is retired, pending a cheaper design.

This is intentionally draft. Hosted enforcement is not active until relaycast-cloud is updated to bind the RelayAuth public key/issuer and consumes a release containing this engine change. Cloud integration is staged in AgentWorkforce/relaycast-cloud#60, which remains blocked on publishing these packages and updating its lockfile. No deployment is performed by either PR.
