fix(fleet): stop reading the placed handler node as dispatch evidence - #1972
Conversation
The engine's spawn ack snapshots the node placement chose in handler_node_id before it sends anything, so an ack whose send failed still carries it next to dispatched_node_id: null. The SDK's resolveDispatchState and the CLI's dispatchEvidence both treated handler_node_id as proof of dispatch, so `fleet spawn` printed dispatchState "dispatched" for an invocation `fleet spawn-status` (which reads the engine record, where handler_node_id is not exposed) reported as not_dispatched. Only dispatched_node_id, or a status the node itself moved, is evidence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Line 12: Update the Unreleased heading to identify this as a patch-level
change, and shorten the entry to lead with the impact: fleet spawn and SDK
placement should not report dispatched for a spawn that was placed but never
sent. Retain the concise dispatch-evidence rule and agreement with fleet
spawn-status.

…563 proof Review on #1972 raised three points. - Confirmation fixed dispatchState at ack time. A pending ack that the engine dispatched afterwards was still reported as not_dispatched when confirmation later failed. A confirmation read that carries a dispatchedNodeId now upgrades the state. A read's status does not, because the normalizer defaults a missing status to `invoked`. - The relay#1563 RelayFlow denial fixture named the node only in handler_node_id, which is now placement, not evidence. node_a denied what it received, so the ack now also carries dispatched_node_id. - The changelog heading is now [Unreleased - Patch] and the entry is shorter.

Problem
agent-relay fleet spawn --node <n>printeddispatch: dispatchedfor a spawn the engine had never sent to the node, whileagent-relay fleet spawn-statusfor the same invocation saidnot_dispatched.The engine's spawn response always includes
handler_node_id(the node placement chose), even when the send to that node failed. The SDK (packages/sdk/src/messaging/relaycast-placement.ts) and the CLI (packages/cli/src/cli/lib/spawn-lifecycle.ts) treated that field as proof of dispatch.spawn-statusreads the stored invocation, which doesn't expose it, so the two disagreed.Seen on 2026-10-13 with invocation

Medium Risk
Changes spawn dispatch classification used by fleet CLI and SDK placement errors; behavior shifts for edge cases where placement succeeded but send did not, which is the intended fix but affects operator-facing status and retry logic.
Overview
fleet spawnand SDK placement no longer treathandler_node_idas proof that a spawn reached a node. The engine snapshots the chosen node there before send; if delivery fails, the row can staypendingwithdispatched_node_idnull while still naming the handler. CLIdispatchEvidenceand SDKresolveDispatchStatenow count onlydispatched_node_id(or statuses that imply the node advanced), sodispatchStateisnot_dispatchedfor placed-but-unsent spawns and matchesfleet spawn-status.During spawn confirmation, the SDK may promote
dispatchStatetodispatchedwhen a follow-up invocation read shows adispatchedNodeIdthe initial ack lacked (e.g. dispatch after ack). Tests cover the unsent-handler case, late dispatch on read, and relayflow fixtures that needdispatched_node_idon denied spawns.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit c445cbc.
