feat(agent_harness): horizontal harness — rolling deploys, fenced session lease, command forwarding - #6032
Merged

Conversation
The harness deployed with min healthy 0% / max 100%, so every deploy blacked out the control API and egress proxy for ~2 minutes: the old task's drain and up-to-120s sandbox cleanup ran serially before the replacement even started. Switch to min 100% / max 200% so the old task keeps serving until the new one passes health checks, moving the slow Daytona teardown out of the visible window. Failed deploys now roll back with the old task still up instead of at zero. The two tasks briefly coexist and split the Kafka consumer group; a command handled by the new task for a session still live on the old one self-heals through resume. Sessions already restart on every deploy (shutdown_all stops each sandbox), so the overlap narrows the blast radius rather than widening it. A session attach lease to make the window race-free is the planned follow-up.
First increment toward a horizontal agent harness: make 'which process owns this session's live actor' a durable, fenced fact instead of an implicit property of being the only replica. A new harness_replica table holds one heartbeated row per booted service instance, and agent_session gains manager_replica_id + manager_fence. Claiming is a single conditional UPDATE (compare-and- swap): it succeeds when the session is unmanaged, already ours, or held by a replica whose heartbeat went stale, and every success bumps the fence. attach_session claims before activating and refuses with ManagedElsewhere when a live replica holds the session; the actor's teardown releases the claim eagerly so a graceful stop hands the session to a successor immediately rather than after staleness. The fence is what makes this safe against stalled holders, where no lock can be: a live actor's log appends go through create_fenced, whose ownership guard and insert are one atomic statement. A replica that stalls past its heartbeat and gets superseded has its next append match zero rows - FencedOut - and tears down through the existing log-failure path, so two replicas can never interleave frames in one session log. SessionOwnership is implemented by the same repo that persists the log, so fences are minted and checked by one store. Behavior at desiredCount 1 is unchanged apart from the eager release; what this buys today is that the rolling-deploy overlap window (#6022) is provably race-free instead of merely rare. Command forwarding between replicas comes next.
The second increment of horizontalizing the harness, on top of the fenced session lease: commands now execute wherever the session's live actor is, so desiredCount stops being pinned to 1. harness_replica gains an address column - each replica's own private base URL, discovered from the ECS task metadata endpoint at boot (or REPLICA_ADDRESS locally) and published with its heartbeat. The session service exposes management(): unmanaged, ours, or a live peer with its address. Every command admitted through the harness's per-session worker resolves that first; a peer-managed session's command is POSTed directly to the peer's internal forward route and the response is the acknowledgment. A forward that fails re-reads the lease once: a peer that died mid-flight goes stale and the command executes locally, while a live-but-unreachable peer stays an error rather than a second actor. Forwarding is single-hop by contract: the receiving endpoint executes without re-resolving management, so two replicas with momentarily different lease views cannot bounce a command between each other. Open commands never route - they mint the session row routing would read. Both attach-capable service instances in one process now share one replica identity, since commands forward to an address and both instances live at it. Pulumi: the service security group allows itself ingress on the service port (task-to-task forwarding bypasses the load balancer), and desiredCount becomes 2 in production.

📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds replica identities, heartbeat-based session leases, and fencing tokens to agent sessions. Session attachment claims ownership, while log writes require the current claim. Harness commands now resolve session management and forward peer-managed commands through an authenticated internal HTTP route. The service publishes replica addresses, renews heartbeats, and serves the forwarding route. Deployment settings enable overlapping replicas and task-to-task ingress. Tests cover lease takeover, fencing, forwarding, and local fallback. Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds cross-replica command execution and durable session fencing, but privileged commands currently rely on a shared credential over unencrypted peer HTTP without preserving the original caller’s authorization, while lease transitions and forwarding timeouts can permit stale or duplicate actions and the fenced log boundary has a session-binding gap. These issues can enable unauthorized commands, duplicate side effects, or cross-session log writes, so the PR is not safe to merge until the security and ownership checks are addressed. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Protect replica-to-replica forwarding with authenticated TLS. The replica address is constructed as http://, while requests carry the shared INTERNAL_API_KEY_HEADER; task-to-task forwarding therefore exposes the bearer credential and command traffic to parties able to observe or interpose on the private path. Require authenticated HTTPS or mTLS and reject non-HTTPS replica addresses before sending the key.

Deduplicate forwarded commands by AgentActionId before local fallback.
If the peer completes HarnessCommand::Deliver but the HTTP response times out, route_then_execute executes the same command locally after the lease changes. The session queue accepts the same AgentActionId again, so the actor can log and send the action twice. Add durable idempotency before this fallback.

desiredCount was `stack === 'prod' ? 2 : 1`, which left dev permanently single-task - and at one task the forwarding path is dead code, since management() can only answer Ours or Unmanaged. A path dev never exercises is one whose regressions surface first in prod, so both environments run two and dev stays prod-shaped. Deploys already ran two tasks transiently (min healthy 100% / max 200%), so coexistence is not new; this makes it the steady state rather than a two-minute window per deploy, which is also the only way to drive a forward on demand instead of hoping one happens mid-deploy. Also refreshes the class doc comment, which still described production as the only replicated environment and the overlap as where two tasks first meet.

infra(agent-harness): roll deploys instead of stop-then-startThe harness deployed with min healthy 0% / max 100%, so every deploy blacked out the control API and egress proxy for ~2 minutes (the old task's drain plus up-to-120s Daytona cleanup ran serially before the replacement started). Now min 100% / max 200%: the old task serves until the new one passes health checks, and a failed deploy rolls back with the old task still up instead of at zero.
2.
feat(agent_session): fenced session-management leaseMakes "which process owns this session's live actor" a durable, fenced fact instead of an implicit property of being the only replica.
harness_replica: one heartbeated row per booted instance (10s beats; claims stealable after 30s stale, so a crashed process releases everything at once).manager_replica_id+manager_fenceonagent_session, transactional with the row. Claiming is a single conditional UPDATE (compare-and-swap); every success bumps the fence. No explicit locks — the statement's atomicity serializes racing claimers.SessionOwnershipport implemented byPgAgentSessionRepo— the same store that persists the log mints and checks fences, so they cannot be mis-wired apart.attach_sessionclaims before activating (ManagedElsewherewhen a live replica holds it); actor teardown releases eagerly (fence-conditioned, so a superseded release never frees a successor's lease).create_fenced: guard and insert in one atomic statement. A replica that stalls past its heartbeat and gets superseded has its next append match zero rows →FencedOut→ tears down through the existing log-failure path. Two replicas can never interleave frames (fencing tokens — no check-then-write gap to slip into). This is also what makes commit 1's deploy-overlap window provably race-free.3.
feat(agent_harness): forward session commands to the managing replicaThe increment that unpins
desiredCount.harness_replica.address: each replica's private base URL, discovered from ECS task metadata at boot (REPLICA_ADDRESSoverride locally; non-local boot without either refuses to start), published with its heartbeat.management(session)first: unmanaged → claim here (existing attach/resume), ours → execute, live peer → POST to{address}/internal/agent-sessions/{id}/command(internal-key authenticated, task-to-task, not through the ALB) and await the response as the acknowledgment.Opennever routes — it mints the row routing would read.with_replica) — commands forward to an address, and both instances live at it.desiredCount: stack === 'prod' ? 2 : 1.How routing works end to end
The ALB never needs to route to a session's owner — any replica accepts any request, and the lease says execute-or-forward. A mention travels: browser → comms API →
macro.channels→ trigger consumer (stateless, any replica) →macro.agent_sessions→ consumer-group partition assignment picks one replica → lease lookup → owning replica → sidecar/runtime socket. Frames return via Postgres (fenced append) + connection_gateway (already multi-replica: DynamoDB membership, Redis pub/sub); sandboxes are dialed out to by the owner (re-dial + ACP resume on takeover); egress is stateless per-request.Known gap (next increment)
User-hosted runtime bots dial one WebSocket per bot into whichever replica the ALB picks. Their claimed sessions forward correctly; an unclaimed external session's first command can land on the socketless replica and fail Disconnected until retried. Managed sandboxes, Cursor, and the in-process agent — the product surface — are fully covered. Fix is a bot→replica gateway registry, out of scope here.
Testing locally

REPLICA_ADDRESS=http://127.0.0.1:<port>each. Mention@coderand watch a prompt consumed by one process execute on the other (forwarding an agent session commandon the sender).Tests

Biome clean on the Pulumi file.Nothing deployed — takes effect on the next deploy after merge (migrations first).
Note
High Risk
Changes distributed session ownership, fenced writes, deploy overlap, and internal forwarding—mistakes could duplicate actors, lose commands, or mis-route during failover; mitigated by atomic SQL fencing and extensive tests.
Overview
Horizontalizes the agent harness so multiple ECS tasks can share Kafka partitions and the ALB without double-acting on the same live session. Deploys switch from stop-then-start (0%/100%, one task) to rolling replace (100%/200%, two tasks), with a self-referencing security group rule so replicas can POST commands to each other on the service port.
Postgres-backed session management adds
harness_replica(heartbeat + optional forwarding address) and lease columns onagent_session(manager_replica_id, monotonicmanager_fence).SessionOwnershipimplements compare-and-swap claiming, stale-heartbeat takeover, and fence-conditioned release; live actor log writes usecreate_fencedso superseded replicas getFencedOutinstead of interleaving frames.attach_sessionclaims before activating and returnsManagedElsewherewhen a live peer holds the lease.Command routing in the harness resolves

Forwards are single-hop (execute_hereskips re-routing); a failed forward re-reads the lease once and may execute locally if the manager went stale. The service discoversREPLICA_ADDRESSor ECS task private IP, heartbeats the replica id shared by both session service instances in-process, and mounts the internal forward route on the public HTTP app.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 1123e15.
