Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to The change cannot be built with its own tests because three test configurations are missing a newly required field, so the broker test suite will not compile as written. In addition, a node that explicitly rejects an inventory sync is still treated as healthy, so the new automatic reconnect will not trigger for that failure mode and affected nodes can stay silently stale. Both should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- registration_tests.rs still asserted the pre-#1770 unit-style ControlRunResult::Disconnected; this fixture never sends a correlated inventory.sync reply (it exercises the registration gate, not the ack-liveness deadline), so application_ready is always false here. - handle_server_message grew to 8 parameters once #1769's registration-gate and #1770's application-liveness params were combined; allow clippy::too_many_arguments to match existing precedent elsewhere in this crate (snippets.rs, pty_worker.rs).

… gate register_node_session() blocks up to read_idle_timeout waiting for a node.register reply before the main command loop in run_connected_once ever starts. If the peer never replies (unreachable relaycast, or a peer that accepts the transport handshake but never registers), a Shutdown command sent during that window was never observed: the outer reconnect loop just kept retrying registration forever, each attempt re-entering the same gate before command_rx was ever polled again. Reproduced locally as a genuine hang in pre_ready_disconnects_preserve_exponential_reconnect_backoff (cargo test on this file never completed). register_node_session now races command_rx alongside the wire wait. Shutdown (or a closed channel) ends the wait immediately. Every other command received during the window is queued and replayed, in order, through a new handle_connected_command() helper shared with the main select! loop — so an UpdateInventory or RegisterAgent that arrives mid-registration still gets exactly the same wire round trip and sync/ack behavior it would have gotten had it arrived a moment later, after the registration reply, rather than being silently dropped or folded early into state that hasn't been sent yet. Verified locally (no toolchain available in CI's sandbox for this session, so validated directly): full agent-relay-broker test suite (1157 tests, debug and release) passes, including the previously-hung test in isolation; cargo clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt --check are clean.

…istration-gate fix Two real issues in 2152ad7, both caught by automated PR review: - Cursor Bugbot (high severity): a rejected/timed-out registration, or a Shutdown seen mid-registration, discarded register_node_session's deferred_commands wholesale instead of finalizing them. RegisterAgent/ DeregisterAgent callers would hang until their own reply timeout instead of getting an immediate error, and an UpdateInventory/UpdateLoad update was lost rather than carried into the next connection attempt. The same gap existed a second time in the replay loop: breaking out partway through (e.g. a wire write failing) silently dropped whatever was still queued behind it. Both paths now finalize the untouched remainder via a new fail_deferred_commands() — local-state updates are preserved, pending replies get an explicit rejection instead of silence. - CodeRabbit: application_liveness.acknowledge() was called for any correlated inventory.sync Reply regardless of reply.ok, so a relaycast that keeps explicitly rejecting inventory.sync would still read as "ready" — undermining the application-liveness check this PR exists to add. Only reply.ok == true now acknowledges; ok == false instead calls the existing reject() path, matching how a RelaycastToBroker::Error on the same id is already handled. Verified locally (cargo test -p agent-relay-broker --lib: 1157 passed; cargo clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt --check clean) since this sandbox has no toolchain for CI to use directly.

Deferred commands dropped after writes
Medium Severity
After register_node_session succeeds, a failed initial send_inventory_sync or heartbeat write still returns without calling fail_deferred_commands. Queued UpdateInventory and UpdateLoad values are discarded, so the reconnect advertises stale local state, and RegisterAgent/DeregisterAgent oneshots complete as canceled instead of a typed error.

Reconfiguration discarded on registration failure
Low Severity
fail_deferred_commands drops a deferred RegisterNode even though it claims to match handle_disconnected_command, which applies that command to registration and load. A reconfiguration that arrives during a failed registration wait is lost, and the next reconnect keeps the stale manifest.

A node-control WebSocket can keep answering pings after its application stops acknowledging inventory updates. The broker now reconnects when correlated inventory acknowledgements stop for two refresh periods (120 seconds at production cadence, checked on the heartbeat tick). Inventory errors also replace the connection; handshake/write deadlines and capped backoff bound outage retries.
Repairs the latest #1610 implementation onto current main, retaining its ordered pending-probe tracking and readiness-dependent backoff fixes, plus current main's local-only startup, deregistration, and channel-isolation behavior. This complements the initial registration gate in #1769.
Test Plan
df3e0b2bcand head77cc6f878ran against a loopback HTTP/WebSocket fixture for 150 seconds at production timing. Base stayed on one connection despite 13 pongs and three inventory requests. Head reconnected after 121.006 seconds despite continued pongs; its acknowledged replacement stayed connected for the remaining approximately 28 seconds. Both arms exited 0 with distinct, contract-valid bug/fixed observations. The hosted case requires the protected Linux broker artifact; local execution does not attest hosted CI execution.These are local broker/transport proofs. They do not establish production deployment, the cause of #1593, or recovery of a long-lived model/PTY. The RelayFlow uses the protected exact broker artifact, with no Cargo compilation or source rewriting inside the proof runner.

High Risk
Changes core broker fleet WebSocket lifecycle, liveness, and reconnect semantics that affect realtime delivery and health signaling during outages.
Overview
Fixes a half-dead node-control WebSocket where transport stays up (pongs) but the engine stops processing
inventory.sync, so the broker could look connected while delivery is broken.Application liveness now uses correlated
inventory.syncrequest IDs: successful replies mark the link ready; missing acks for two refresh periods (e.g. ~120s at production cadence) force reconnect. Failed or rejected inventory probes tear down the session; pong-only traffic no longer counts as healthy.Reconnect policy only resets exponential backoff and the consecutive-401 counter after a proven application-ready session, not merely after TCP/WebSocket handshake. Connect and write paths get 15s / 10s timeouts so half-open links cannot stall the loop.

register_node_sessioncan be interrupted by shutdown and queues other commands for replay; sharedhandle_connected_commandandfail_deferred_commandsavoid dropping in-flight agent/inventory work.Adds RelayFlow case
