Replaces the need for the relay-side globalThis.fetch interceptor in AgentWorkforce/relay#888 by extending the existing InternalOrigin plumbing.

Why

Hosts that wrap the SDK (the relaycast-mcp shim in agent-relay) need to tag every request with the harness driving the process (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ...). Today they have to either:

  1. Fork the SDK
  2. Monkey-patch globalThis.fetch (what relay#888 currently does, ~100 lines)
  3. Re-implement every relaycast endpoint to inject headers

Option (1) and (3) are non-starters; option (2) leaks across non-relaycast fetches and breaks under custom relaycast deploys / staging hosts. The right shape is the path the SDK already exposes for surface/client/version: pass the value through InternalOrigin, let the client stamp it.

What

Rename note (commit 236b8df)

Originally landed with the WS query param named orchestrator_harness to mirror the server-side property. Renamed alongside relaycast#132 and relay#888 to drop the redundant orchestrator_ prefix — the HTTP header was already X-Relaycast-Harness, the WS param now matches that name as harness. Doc-comment also updated.

Tests

  • 9 tests in __tests__/harness-origin.test.ts: 7 HTTP (presence / absence / sanitisation / length cap / character-set rejection / sanitizeHarness unit / withApiKey survival) + 2 WS (query-param presence / absence).
  • Full SDK suite (vitest run packages/sdk-typescript): 309 passed, 0 regressions.
  • npm --prefix packages/sdk-typescript run lint: clean.

Version

Bumped @relaycast/sdk to 1.2.0 — minor since the change is purely additive (optional field). Existing consumers compile and behave identically; the header only appears when an upstream caller deliberately opts in.

Paired PR

agent-relay#888 will:

  • Bump @relaycast/sdk dep from ^1.1.0^1.2.0.
  • Delete src/cli/lib/relaycast-fetch-interceptor.ts + its tests.
  • Remove the interceptor install sites from src/cli/bootstrap.ts and src/cli/relaycast-mcp.ts.
  • Add harness: detectHarness() to the mcpOrigin literal in relaycast-mcp.ts and to the MessagingRelaycastClient origin in messaging.ts.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Lets a wrapping host (e.g. `@agent-relay/relaycast-mcp`) tag every
request with the orchestrator harness driving the process (claude-code,
cursor, codex, ...) without monkey-patching globalThis.fetch on the
caller side.

Adds:
  - Optional `harness?: string` on `InternalOrigin`.
  - `sanitizeHarness()` — lowercase / ASCII-only / 40-char cap, mirrors
    the server-side contract from #132. Invalid inputs drop the header
    entirely rather than sending garbage that the server will coerce.
  - HttpClient: stamps `X-Relaycast-Harness` when harness is present,
    omits the header entirely when absent (keeps plain SDK consumers
    unchanged).
  - WsClient: forwards as the `orchestrator_harness` query param so the
    same value reaches AgentDO / WorkspaceStreamDO via the existing
    DO startup search-params path from #132.
  - `harness` survives `HttpClient.withApiKey()` rotations.
  - 7 new tests covering header presence/absence, sanitisation, length
    cap, character-set rejection, and the WS query-param path.

Bumps SDK to 1.2.0 (minor — additive optional field, no breaking changes
for existing `new RelayCast(...)` or `createInternalRelayCast(...)`
callers).

Paired with AgentWorkforce/relay#888 which will drop its fetch
interceptor and just stamp `harness` on the `mcpOrigin` literal it
already builds.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds an optional harness field to InternalOrigin, a sanitizeHarness() helper, stores a sanitized harness in HTTP and WS clients, conditionally injects it as the X-Relaycast-Harness header or harness WebSocket query param, and adds tests, changelog notes, and a package version bump.

Changes

Harness Origin and Client Integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Harness contract and sanitization utility
packages/sdk-typescript/src/origin.ts
InternalOrigin adds an optional harness field. sanitizeHarness() trims, lowercases, restricts to [a-z0-9-], caps at 40 chars, and returns undefined for invalid/falsy inputs.
HTTP client harness tracking and header injection
packages/sdk-typescript/src/client.ts
HttpClient imports sanitizeHarness, stores a sanitized harness in a private _originHarness, exposes it via originHarness, preserves it in withApiKey(), and conditionally adds X-Relaycast-Harness to outgoing requests when present.
WebSocket client harness and query parameter injection
packages/sdk-typescript/src/ws.ts
WsClient imports sanitizeHarness, stores sanitized originHarness on the instance, initializes it from origin.harness, and conditionally appends harness as a WebSocket URL query parameter in connect() when present.
Test coverage, changelog, and version bump
packages/sdk-typescript/src/__tests__/harness-origin.test.ts, packages/sdk-typescript/CHANGELOG.md, packages/sdk-typescript/package.json
Adds Vitest tests for HTTP header presence/absence, WS query param behavior, sanitization rules (lowercasing, allowed chars, CR/LF rejection, 40-char truncation), updates CHANGELOG Unreleased notes, and bumps package version to 1.2.0.

🔴 sanitizeHarness uses ad-hoc regex validation instead of a zod schema

sanitizeHarness at packages/sdk-typescript/src/origin.ts:35-42 performs validation and normalization using manual checks (.trim(), .toLowerCase(), a regex test, .slice()). The AGENTS.md engineering rule states: "Prefer zod schemas for validation instead of ad-hoc manual checks." The codebase already uses zod extensively (e.g. apiEnvelopeSchema at packages/sdk-typescript/src/client.ts:109), and this validation could be expressed as a zod schema with .trim(), .toLowerCase(), .regex(), and .max() transforms.

Prompt for agents
The sanitizeHarness function in packages/sdk-typescript/src/origin.ts uses ad-hoc manual checks (trim, toLowerCase, regex, slice) which violates the AGENTS.md rule: "Prefer zod schemas for validation instead of ad-hoc manual checks." The file already imports nothing from zod, but the package has zod as a dependency.

Replace the manual validation with a zod schema. For example, define a harnessSchema using z.string().trim().toLowerCase() piped through z.string().regex(/^[a-z0-9-]+$/).max(40), then use safeParse in the sanitizeHarness function. If parsing fails, return undefined. This keeps the same runtime semantics (trim, lowercase, validate charset, cap at 40 chars, return undefined on failure) but uses the zod-idiomatic approach consistent with the rest of the codebase.

🟡 JSDoc says WS query param is harness but actual wire name is orchestrator_harness

The JSDoc comment on InternalOrigin.harness at packages/sdk-typescript/src/origin.ts:10 says "the WS client forwards it via the harness query param," but the actual implementation at packages/sdk-typescript/src/ws.ts:115 uses orchestrator_harness as the query parameter name. This mismatch will mislead developers reading the interface docs when trying to understand the server-side contract.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test doesn't verify what its title claims.

The test is titled "preserves the harness across withApiKey()" but doesn't actually call withApiKey(). It creates a relay with harness 'cursor', then creates a completely separate HttpClient instance without any origin and asserts it has no harness.

To properly test preservation across key rotation, the test should access the internal HTTP client from the relay, call withApiKey('new_key') on it, and verify that the returned client still has originHarness === 'cursor'.

The core functionality itself is correctly implemented (line 177 in client.ts preserves harness), but this test doesn't validate it.

P2 Badge Propagate harness through AgentClient WebSocket origin

This branch never runs for the primary createInternalRelayCast(...).as(token).connect() flow because AgentClient.connect() rebuilds the WS internal origin with only surface/client/version and drops harness (see packages/sdk-typescript/src/agent.ts connect path), so originHarness is undefined here and orchestrator_harness is omitted. As a result, the new feature only tags HTTP requests, while WS traffic from the normal AgentClient path still loses harness attribution.

P2 Badge Make withApiKey harness test assert the intended behavior

This test is labeled as verifying harness preservation across withApiKey(), but it never calls withApiKey and instead constructs a fresh HttpClient without internal origin and asserts originHarness is undefined. That means regressions in the actual withApiKey harness propagation path would still pass this suite, leaving the new behavior effectively untested.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Paired with relay#888 and relaycast#132 (server side). `harness` alone
is unambiguous — the SDK origin already carries `surface`/`client`/`version`
so "orchestrator_harness" was redundant.

Changes in this commit:
  - WS query param: `orchestrator_harness` → `harness` to match the
    HTTP header naming.
  - Doc comments on `InternalOrigin.harness` and the test header dropped
    the "orchestrator_" prefix.
  - CHANGELOG entry updated to the new shape.
  - Added 2 focused WS tests asserting the query-param name (present
    when origin supplies one, absent otherwise).

`InternalOrigin.harness` field and `X-Relaycast-Harness` header were
already correctly named — no breaking change to the wire shape for
either direction; the WS query-param flip is consumed by relaycast#132
which renames in lockstep.
