writing-relayflows 1.5.0: document --cloud-mirror - #111
Conversation
`flows run --cloud-mirror` (2.0.32) puts a local run on the Cloud dashboard. The skill covered neither the flag nor the surface it opens up: the three hosted read verbs — `flows status --cloud`, `flows logs`, `flows runs` — now answer for local runs, where until 2.0.32 they only answered for runs Cloud had launched. The new section explains the split that matters and is easy to get backwards: the **observer link is the default** (free, workspace key, step projection), and `--cloud-mirror` is the **opt-in** richer hosted view that also *stores* the flow source, every agent transcript and the CLI's own stderr — which is why it is asked for rather than turned on by the presence of a login. It also names the trap: the report's `runId` is the journal's ULID and every hosted read verb takes Cloud's UUID, so `--json` gained `cloudRunId`/`dashboardUrl`. Verified the way this skill requires rather than by reading a diff. `2.0.32` was installed from npm into a scratch project — not run from a source tree — and two real local runs were mirrored to production: a deterministic flow read back through all three verbs, and a two-agent flow (`cli: claude` + `cli: codex`, $0.01836 of real spend) whose per-step transcripts were fetched back out of Cloud storage. An echo-only flow exercises none of the transcript path, which is the claim worth having evidence for. Two findings from that session are recorded because they are the kind of thing this skill exists to save someone: **flows drives exactly two agent CLIs** — `adapters/index.ts` registers `claude` and `codex`, everything else needs the `relayflows-wrapper-v1` token contract, and a real `devin` on PATH rejects the probe outright, so it cannot be a `cli:` no matter what is installed. And the **observer projection has no retry** — one error sets `failed` and every later publish is a no-op, so a transient `429 workspace_busy` (hit for real during verification) permanently loses the observer view, while the dashboard mirror survives the same window because it treats 429 as transient. 1.4.0 -> 1.5.0: new surface, nothing removed.

flows runs from the run-ID guidance
flows runs is the history-listing command, not a command that takes the mirrored run's UUID like flows status --cloud and flows logs; the verification section itself describes invoking flows runs to find the run in history without supplying an ID. Grouping it under “every hosted read verb takes Cloud's UUID” directs users toward the wrong command shape, so document its listing/filter semantics separately.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Correct the flows runs identifier description.
flows runs does not take a run ID. It lists Cloud runs and returns their Cloud run IDs. Only flows status --cloud and flows logs take a Cloud run ID. Update both references at lines 414 and 485 to state this distinction.

Codex and CodeRabbit both caught the same thing, and they are right: the section grouped `flows runs` with `flows status --cloud` and `flows logs` under "every hosted read verb takes Cloud's UUID". It does not take an id at all. Confirmed against 2.0.32's own usage: flows status --cloud [--json] [--watch] <run-id> flows logs [--step <name>] [--raw] [--json] [--follow] <run-id> flows runs [--limit <n>] [--json] Grouping it there pointed a reader at the wrong command shape. Worse, it buried the useful fact: `flows runs` is the way *out* of the id problem, because it lists runs newest-first with their Cloud UUIDs — which is how you find the id the other two want once you no longer have the terminal that printed it. The section and the quick-reference row now say that. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The skill covered neither the flag nor the surface it opens: the three hosted read verbs —flows status --cloud,flows logs,flows runs— now answer for local runs, where until 2.0.32 they only answered for runs Cloud had launched.What the new section says
The split that matters, and is easy to get backwards:

runIdis the journal's ULID while every hosted read verb takes Cloud's UUID, which is why--jsongainedcloudRunId/dashboardUrl.Also documented: it cannot fail a run; the dashboard says
Ran on: Your machine; cancel is refused for a local run; and a--cloud-mirrorresume is a second linked row with the mapping in<data-dir>/cloud-runs/(run id + deployment, no credential, 0600, 30-day expiry).Verified the way this skill requires
Not by reading a diff.
2.0.32was installed from npm into a scratch project — not run from a source tree — and two real local runs were mirrored to production:runner.loground-trip;cli: claude+cli: codex, $0.01836 of real spend) whose per-step transcripts were fetched back out of Cloud storage and rendered in each provider's own frame vocabulary.That second one is the claim worth having evidence for: an echo-only flow exercises none of the transcript path.
Two findings recorded because they cost real time

Overview
Bumps
writing-relayflowsfrom 1.4.0 → 1.5.0 inprpm.jsonand the README skills table, and expands the skill to coverflows run/resume --cloud-mirror(Relayflows 2.0.32).The new “Watching a local run” section contrasts the default observer link with opt-in Cloud dashboard mirroring (
--cloud-mirror/FLOWS_CLOUD_MIRROR=1): what gets stored (source, transcripts, stderr), why mirroring is explicit, journal ULID vs Cloud UUID forflows status --cloud/flows logs, and resume behaviour (resumedFromRunId,<data-dir>/cloud-runs/). CLI cheat-sheets, the quick-reference table, and Verified against now include production checks onrelayflows@2.0.32plus notes on supported agent CLIs (claude/codex) and observer projection retry limits.Also adds empty
