Added configurable WebSocket direct-message retention: the default keeps only the latest unacknowledged message per sender; an optional mode retains all until acknowledged.
Storage uploads now require a connected agent and a request from its connected address.
Connected-agent presence now includes the agent’s last-known IP.
Bug Fixes
Added checks to flag test-related wording in Python docstrings and Rust documentation comments.
CHECKS.md now includes a generation date and is checked for freshness.
Documentation
Updated configuration, changelog, and check-catalogue guidance for these changes.
The PR adds configurable direct-message retention, changes backplane presence data, and restricts storage uploads to connected agents requesting from their connected address. It also changes CHECKS.md generation and freshness validation, adds documentation wording rules, and updates repository tooling and documentation.
Changes: Message retention and storage ownership
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Direct-message retention libs/edge-toolkit/src/ws_server.rs, services/hub-backplane/src/lib.rs, services/ws/src/*, services/ws-server/HELP.md, related tests, CHANGELOG.md
MessageRetention adds latest-per-sender and all modes. Local and NATS queues use the selected keying policy, while acknowledgement finds messages by ID. WsConfig exposes the setting and defaults to latest-per-sender.
Presence and storage upload checks services/hub-backplane/src/lib.rs, services/storage/src/*, services/storage/tests/*, services/ws-test-server/tests/horizontal_scaling.rs, CHANGELOG.md
Backplane presence includes the connected agent’s last-known IP. Storage PUT requests require a connected agent and a matching peer address. Tests cover disconnected agents, address mismatches, missing peer addresses, and IPv4-mapped addresses.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 2aaa1
Storage uploads can be authorized from a stale address after a restart or after ownership changes mid-upload. The new all-retention mode can also stop accepting messages for a recipient once its backlog grows large. Fix these before merging; the catalogue freshness policy also has small validation gaps.

Review comments at @AGENTS.md:
- Around line 433-435: Update the Rust inner-loop iteration guidance to say
“workspace package” instead of “crate” when describing the arguments to
`cargo-clippy-check-pkg` and what to name in one call, since those arguments are
Cargo package names.
Review comments at @config/ast-grep/rules/no-test-in-python-docstrings.yaml:
- Line 9: Update the regex in no-test-in-python-docstrings.yaml so qualified
method references such as client.test() are not flagged, while standalone test
terms remain matched; apply the same behavior to no-test-in-rust-docs.yaml for
Client::test(). Add valid cases covering both qualified references.
Review comments at @config/conftest/policy/checks_md/checks_md.rego:
- Line 12: Add an explicit denial in the freshness check when the captured date
cannot be parsed by `time.parse_ns`, so malformed calendar dates cannot pass;
account for OPA treating a failed built-in expression as undefined. Add a test
covering an invalid date such as `2026-02-30`.
- Line 15: Update the generated stamp check around generated_dates to count
matching lines before extracting dates, so duplicate identical stamps violate
the exactly-one-stamp policy; add a test with two identical stamps.
Review comments at @services/hub-backplane/src/lib.rs:
- Line 322: Update the mailbox storage around `mailbox.insert` so
`MessageRetention::All` stores messages in separate or bounded records instead
of growing a single serialized NATS value; ensure the `write_mailbox` path can
continue accepting messages beyond the broker’s maximum payload while preserving
the all-messages retention behavior.
Review comments at @services/storage/src/routes.rs:
- Around line 181-182: Update the local-owner branch in the route’s ownership
check to require a live session before accepting a Connected record’s IP; do not
treat a restored Connected state without a session as active ownership. In NATS
mode, also verify the local record against current backplane presence before
treating it as authoritative.
- Line 132: In the upload route, revalidate ownership with connected_owner_ip
immediately before store.put rather than relying on the earlier owner_ip check;
ensure the validated ownership remains valid through the commit, using the
existing ownership mechanism if it supports that guarantee.

Use Cargo package terminology in this guidance.
cargo-clippy-check-pkg converts each argument into a Cargo -p option, which accepts workspace package names. A crate target name can differ from its package name. If a developer follows this wording with a crate name, the command can fail because Cargo cannot find that package. Replace “crate” with “workspace package” in this paragraph.

Allow qualified references to test methods.
A docstring containing client.test() triggers this rule because . and ( are treated as word boundaries. This blocks valid API documentation during linting. The same regex in config/ast-grep/rules/no-test-in-rust-docs.yaml Line 12 also flags Client::test().
Allow qualified names in code spans and add valid cases for both rules.

Reject dates that cannot be parsed.
If a stamp contains a date such as 2026-02-30, the pattern accepts it, but time.parse_ns cannot produce midnight_ns(date). Neither the age check nor the future-date check then denies the document, so a malformed stamp can pass the freshness check indefinitely. Add an explicit denial for an unparseable date and a test for this case. OPA treats a failed built-in expression as undefined by default. (openpolicyagent.org)

Count stamp lines, not distinct dates.
If CHECKS.md contains the same generated stamp twice, generated_dates contains one value. The count(generated_dates) > 1 check then accepts a document that violates the policy’s exactly-one-stamp requirement. Count matching lines before extracting distinct dates, and add a test with two identical stamps. Rego sets discard duplicate values. (openpolicyagent.org)

Store all messages without growing one NATS value.
With MessageRetention::All, each new message enlarges the mailbox that write_mailbox serializes as one KV value. Once that value exceeds the broker's maximum payload, queue fails. The recipient cannot accept another direct message until enough messages are acknowledged. Store messages in separate or bounded records so the advertised all mode can continue accepting messages.

Recheck ownership before committing a buffered upload.
If an agent disconnects or another connection takes over its ID while the request body arrives, this check can pass under the old owner. store.put then runs after ownership has changed. Revalidate the connected owner immediately before the write, and use an ownership mechanism that keeps authorization valid through the commit if the rule must hold strictly.

Require a live local session before accepting local ownership.
AgentRegistry::load restores state but skips session. The round-trip test in services/ws/tests/load_registry.rs confirms that a loaded record can be Connected with no session. This branch accepts its old IP as an active owner, so a PUT from that address can succeed while the agent is offline. Check the live session for a local owner. In NATS mode, also resolve a local record against current backplane presence before treating it as authoritative.
