Register a per-instance wakeUrl and forward it to the connector at
self-provision so a suspended gateway can be poked awake when buffered
work arrives (pairs with the connector-side WakePoker).
- relay_wake_url() resolver (env GATEWAY_RELAY_WAKE_URL, then
gateway.relay_wake_url in config.yaml), mirroring relay_instance_id()
- thread wake_url through _post_provision (adds wakeUrl to the body only
when set) + self_provision_relay (resolve, forward, log)
- hermes gateway enroll --wake-url <url> persists GATEWAY_RELAY_WAKE_URL
- document the §5.2 wake poke in relay-connector-contract.md §3.3
- tests: relay_wake_url resolution (env/config/absent), provision
forwarding, body-only-when-set (6 new; 130 relay tests pass)
The actual reconnect+drain on wake is Unit B's loop; this unit only
wires the wake SIGNAL. Opt-in: absent wakeUrl => connector never pokes.
Add relay_instance_id() (env GATEWAY_RELAY_INSTANCE_ID first, then
gateway.relay_instance_id in config.yaml, mirroring the other relay readers) and
forward it in the /relay/provision body so the connector can bind
gatewayId -> instanceId and route inbound per-instance once Phase 6 delivery
lands.
The value is gateway-asserted but safely scoped: the org/tenant stays
NAS-token-verified at the connector, so a dishonest gateway can only bind its
OWN tenant's instance — same posture as relay_endpoint(). instanceId is only
added to the body when present, so omitting it lets the connector store null
(back-compat: self-hosted / pre-Phase-6 gateways simply have no binding yet).
For a managed (NAS-hosted) agent the id is NAS's AgentInstance.id, stamped into
the container env beside GATEWAY_RELAY_URL.
Tests: reader (env/config/absent), self_provision_relay forwards the id (set +
absent), and the real _post_provision body includes instanceId ONLY when set.

self_provision_if_managed() gated on is_managed(), but is_managed() means
"NixOS/package-manager-managed" (it keys on HERMES_MANAGED or a ~/.hermes/.managed
marker) — NOT "NAS-hosted". A NAS-provisioned Fly agent sets NEITHER, so the gate
was always False and relay self-provision SILENTLY no-oped on exactly the hosted
agents it was built for. Caught live: a staging agent with GATEWAY_RELAY_URL
correctly stamped logged "No messaging platforms enabled" and never dialed the
connector; HERMES_MANAGED was unset on the machine. The unit tests had mocked
is_managed()->True, so they passed while the real trigger never fired (mocked-
trigger blind spot).
Fix: drop the is_managed() gate and rename self_provision_if_managed ->
self_provision_relay. The real trigger is now "relay_url() set + no pinned secret
+ a resolvable NAS token", which is both NAS-independent and self-guarding:
- NAS-hosted agent: GATEWAY_RELAY_URL + no pinned secret + bootstrapped NAS
token -> self-provisions.
- Self-hosted + `hermes gateway enroll`: pinned GATEWAY_RELAY_SECRET -> skipped
(existing secret-present guard).
- Self-hosted, unenrolled, no NAS identity: resolve_nous_access_token() fails
-> graceful no-op (existing fail-soft path).
Security: unchanged trust model. The connector still derives tenant from the
validated NAS token; this only broadens WHEN the provision attempt fires, and
every broadened case is still guarded by token-resolution + pinned-secret-skip.
Tests: replaced the (wrong) "skips when not managed" test with a regression test
proving a NAS host where is_managed()==False STILL provisions; renamed all call
sites; added a "no NAS token -> non-fatal skip" test for the self-hosted branch.
88 relay tests pass.
Relay-adapter lane. EXPERIMENTAL.
The connector now delivers inbound (messages + interrupts) over the gateway's
OUTBOUND /relay WebSocket, not a signed HTTP POST to an inbound endpoint. The
gateway needs no inbound HTTP port — which is what makes hosted gateways (no
public IP) able to receive inbound at all.
- gateway/relay/adapter.py: connect() wires set_interrupt_inbound_handler(
self.on_interrupt) so connector->gateway interrupt_inbound frames bridge into
the existing per-session interrupt path (the inbound message handler was
already wired). Removed _maybe_start_inbound_receiver() + the _inbound_runner
lifecycle — there is no HTTP receiver anymore.
- gateway/relay/inbound_receiver.py: deleted (the signed-HTTP InboundDelivery
receiver).
- gateway/relay/__init__.py: removed relay_inbound_config() (dead with the
receiver gone). The delivery key is still set in-process by self-provision for
forward-compat but is no longer consumed for inbound.
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md: §3 rewritten — inbound is the WS back-channel
routed cross-instance via the connector's relay bus; §5 interrupt + §6 auth
table updated; the old signed-HTTP-POST + per-tenant-delivery-key-signing path
is documented as superseded. gatewayEndpoint noted as passthrough-plane only.
Tests: stub_connector grows set_interrupt_inbound_handler + push_interrupt;
new test_relay_interrupt case proves connect() wires BOTH inbound handlers and an
interrupt_inbound frame over the WS cancels the right session. Removed the
HTTP-receiver test; updated the crypto-shedding scan + self-provision delivery-key
assertion. 88 relay tests pass.
EXPERIMENTAL. Pairs with gateway-gateway (relay bus + WsGatewayDelivery) and the
NAS GATEWAY_RELAY_URL stamp. The cross-repo E2E (connector repo) proves the full
multi-instance path against this production adapter code.
The gateway half of relay Phase 3. On a MANAGED boot with relay configured and
no secret pinned, the runtime self-provisions its relay credentials IN-PROCESS:
resolve the agent's own Nous access token (resolve_nous_access_token) -> POST
the connector's /relay/provision asserting its own endpoint + route keys ->
set GATEWAY_RELAY_ID/SECRET/DELIVERY_KEY into os.environ so the immediately-
following register_relay_adapter() reads them and dials out authenticated.
No human, no enrollment token, no disk write — the creds live only in process
memory (save_env_value refuses under managed anyway, and keeping the secret off
any volume is the stronger posture). Stateless: process-env creds don't survive
a restart, so a managed container re-provisions every boot; the connector's
rotation window covers a still-connected prior instance. An explicitly-pinned
GATEWAY_RELAY_SECRET is respected (skip). Self-hosted is unchanged: humans keep
using `hermes gateway enroll`.
Endpoint provenance is gateway-asserted (GATEWAY_RELAY_ENDPOINT +
GATEWAY_RELAY_ROUTE_KEYS, env or gateway.relay_* config) — uniform code path
whether the operator sets it (self-hosted) or NAS stamps it (hosted, the only
case NAS knows the public URL). Both absent -> outbound-only provisioning
(credentials, no inbound routes). The connector scopes the asserted endpoint to
the verified tenant, so it stays within the security model.
- gateway/relay/__init__.py: relay_endpoint(), relay_route_keys(),
_provision_url(), _post_provision(), self_provision_if_managed() (never
raises — a provision failure logs and boots without relay auth).
- gateway/run.py: call self_provision_if_managed() immediately before
register_relay_adapter() in the startup path.
Tests: 12 unit (trigger logic, respect-pinned-secret, in-process env wiring,
endpoint+routes vs outbound-only, fail-soft on token/connector failure);
mutation-checked (drop is_managed guard / pinned-secret guard -> tests fail).
Cross-repo live E2E driver lands on the connector side (depends on this).
EXPERIMENTAL: relay auth scheme may change until >=2 Class-1 platforms validate.
