mountsync: checkpoint event-cursor pattern rejects non-evt_ ids (upstream:v1:...), breaking checkpoint flows once the event ledger lands

[agent-relay-code]

PR summary

What changed

• Accept bounded provider-namespaced upstream:v1:... event cursors in mountsync checkpoint validation while retaining support for 0 and evt_<n> cursors.
• Keep the self-hosted checkpoint verifier, CLI lifecycle validation, and all three OpenAPI checkpoint cursor schemas aligned with the backend-neutral contract.
• Add regression coverage for legacy and upstream cursor forms, multi-event :N suffixes, the 400-character payload boundary, malformed/control/whitespace inputs, mixed evt_/upstream: feeds, and destination checkpoint verification with an upstream cursor.

Verification

• go test ./internal/mountsync ./internal/relayfile ./cmd/relayfile-cli
• scripts/check-contract-surface.sh
• git diff --check

Rollout note

This compatibility change must be released before AgentWorkforce/relayfile-cloud#293 begins emitting canonical upstream event IDs. If that ordering cannot be guaranteed, #293 should gate the new IDs behind a rollout flag until compatible Relayfile clients are deployed.

What the repair agent found

Repair notes

• The original check stopped before tests because Go was not installed. I added
  an uncommitted Go 1.22.12 bootstrap to .relayflow/check.sh, matching the
  repository's CI Go 1.22 toolchain line.
• With that setup, all Go packages passed. The check later stopped in the
  unrelated TypeScript SDK test delivers the WS error event to handlers without throwing when ErrorEvent is undefined (Node): this runner exposes
  globalThis.ErrorEvent, so the test's typeof ErrorEvent === "undefined"
  environment assertion fails. No SDK production or test files were changed.

Fixes #531

Note

Medium Risk
Changes checkpoint cursor validation on migration-critical seal/verify/handback paths; behavior is additive for valid upstream IDs but stricter on whitespace-padded cursors, so ordering with cloud emission matters.

Overview
Extends checkpoint event cursor validation so mountsync checkpoints accept bounded upstream:v1:... cursors alongside 0 and evt_<n>, unblocking checkpoint seal/verify/handback once the event ledger emits provider-namespaced IDs.

The same regex is applied in CLI lifecycle, mountsync, relayfile store verification, and all three OpenAPI checkpoint cursor schemas. Event cursors are now matched without TrimSpace, so padded or control-character cursors fail locally instead of being normalized into valid forms.

Regression tests cover upstream and legacy cursors, length limits, whitespace/control rejection, mixed evt_/upstream cursor advancement, and destination verification with an upstream cursor. Completed trajectory index entries document the repair work but are not runtime behavior.

Relayflow: the adversarial review did not pass. This branch is not approved: the flow stopped here and did not mark it ready to merge.

Review: PR #532 — mountsync checkpoint event-cursor pattern accepts upstream:v1:...

Scope reviewed

• Diff origin/main...HEAD (5 commits: 94ccd6e..c33fa50), matching PR mountsync: checkpoint event-cursor pattern rejects non-evt_ ids (upstream:v1:...), breaking checkpoint flows once the event ledger lands #532.
• All PR comments/reviews (gh pr view 532 --json body,comments,reviews) and inline review
  comments (gh api .../pulls/532/comments, empty).
• Ran the full relevant test suites and the contract-surface check locally (Go 1.22.12
  bootstrapped from .relayflow/tools, matching CI).

Verification performed

• go build ./... — clean.
• go test ./internal/mountsync/... ./internal/relayfile/... ./cmd/relayfile-cli/... — all pass
  (mountsync 88s, relayfile cached, relayfile-cli 81s).
• go vet ./internal/mountsync/... ./internal/relayfile/... ./cmd/relayfile-cli/... — clean.
• ./scripts/check-contract-surface.sh — "SDK parity check passed" / "contract check passed".
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD — clean (no whitespace errors).
• Confirmed all three Go copies of the pattern (internal/mountsync/syncer.go,
  internal/relayfile/checkpoint_seal.go, cmd/relayfile-cli/checkpoint_lifecycle.go) and all
  three OpenAPI eventCursor schemas (CheckpointSealVerifyRequest, CheckpointSealOwnership,
  CheckpointSeal) were updated to the identical new regex — no missed call site.
• Manually wrote and ran (then discarded) an exploratory test driving HandbackCheckpoint
  (prepare + commit phases) and VerifyCheckpointOwnership with a live
  upstream:v1:linear:issue_999:3 cursor end-to-end through fakeClient — both paths correctly
  accept and propagate the upstream cursor. This was to close the gap noted below; working tree
  was reverted afterward (git checkout -- internal/mountsync/syncer_test.go), so it is not part
  of this diff.

Correctness assessment

The core fix is sound:

• The regex relaxation (^(?:0|evt_[0-9]+|upstream:v1:[A-Za-z0-9._:\-]{1,400})$) is applied
  consistently at every validation call site that previously used the old pattern, with no
  stragglers.
• Removing strings.TrimSpace(...) around the EventCursor/WorkspaceRevision-adjacent checks
  (keeping it only for revision) is intentional and closes a real pre-existing gap: previously the
  trimmed value was matched against the pattern but the untrimmed field was what got stored/
  compared downstream (e.g. proof.EventCursor != prepared.EventCursor), so a padded cursor like
  " evt_2 " could pass validation while leaving whitespace baked into state. The new tests
  (TestVerifyCheckpointRequiresLocalExactnessAndServerReattestation/.../padded_cursor,
  TestCheckpointEventCursorPattern, TestCheckpointCursorPattern) correctly pin this down.
• Character class and 400-char bound exactly match the regex given in the source issue; the
  the issue's own example regex already uses {1,400} (the parenthetical "384-char" note is
  about the upstream-id payload before provider/suffix overhead, not a contradiction worth acting
  on).
• advanceEventCursor's existing "take the candidate when either side isn't evt_N" fallback
  (unchanged by this PR) correctly handles a mixed evt_/upstream: feed; the new regression
  test in realtime_collaboration_test.go documents this rather than changing behavior.
• No other validation sites (TypeScript/Python SDKs, internal/httpapi) independently re-validate
  the cursor shape, so there was nothing else to update.

No functional bugs found in the reviewed diff.

Findings

1. Test coverage doesn't fully match the issue's stated acceptance criteria (low severity, not a functional bug)

The issue asks that "Checkpoint prepare/seal/resume succeed when the last seen event id is
upstream:v1:...." The new tests only exercise the verify path
(TestVerifyCheckpointRequiresLocalExactnessAndServerReattestation/upstream_cursor_is_opaque_and_server-attested)
and the regex directly. Neither HandbackCheckpoint (prepare/commit, syncer.go:3233,3252) nor
VerifyCheckpointOwnership (resume admission, syncer.go:3423) has a test that actually puts an
upstream:v1:... value through those functions.

I confirmed by hand (exploratory test, reverted — see "Verification performed" above) that both
paths work correctly today, since they share the same checkpointEventCursorPattern variable and
matching style already covered by TestCheckpointEventCursorPattern. So this is not a shippable
bug, but it's worth adding a HandbackCheckpoint/VerifyCheckpointOwnership-specific regression
test (mirroring the one added for VerifyCheckpoint) so a future change to one of those three call
sites that regresses just that site would be caught, matching what the issue actually asked for.

2. Trajectory index records absolute local workstation paths (low severity, pre-existing tooling pattern, not introduced by this PR's logic but reproduced by it)

.trajectories/index.json gained two entries in this branch
(traj_0qdrmrp6ijnu, traj_36h89bsoig5x) whose path fields are absolute, workstation-specific
paths:

/home/daytona/.relayflow-v2-supervisor/durable/repository/.trajectories/completed/2026-10/traj_0qdrmrp6ijnu.json
/home/daytona/.relayflow-v2-supervisor/durable/repository/.trajectories/completed/2026-10/traj_36h89bsoig5x.json

The project's CLAUDE.md is explicit that the npm run trail -- wrapper pins
TRAJECTORIES_PROJECT specifically "so artifacts do not record local workstation paths." Most
existing entries use relative paths (e.g. .trajectories/completed/2026-10/traj_1p4an8ifdgfv.json),
but a few older ones already carry absolute paths from other machines
(/home/khaliqgant/Projects/..., other /home/daytona/... entries), so this is a recurring defect
in scripts/trail.mjs's path recording rather than something newly introduced by this PR's intent.
This PR still adds two more instances of it and doesn't run the trail compact --discard-sources
step CLAUDE.md recommends after completing work, so the raw, path-leaking trajectories remain in
the index. Not a code-correctness issue for the checkpoint fix itself; flagging because it's part of
this diff and visibly contradicts the repo's own stated goal for this tooling.

Separately (cosmetic): .trajectories/index.json now ends without a trailing newline.
