Structured command outcomes
Snapshot-backed upload holds
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR now returns command outcomes and creates per-account browser stores, but a follower for account B can still attach to account A's active engine and operate on the wrong vault, while malformed outcome fields can cross the command boundary unchecked. The cross-account routing issue could expose or modify another account's data, so the PR is not merge-ready until the start handshake enforces account matching. Possibly related PRs

`Engine::command` answers with a `CommandOutcome`, but the worker host discarded it and the `command` request posted no response at all, so the imported contact's two public keys were unreachable from a host and a queued op's id never crossed the boundary. The host now reads the outcome into a `CommandOutcomeDescriptor` and frees the wasm-bindgen object once its fields are read; the worker answers the `command` request with it, and both transports, the leader relay's port hop and the facade carry it through. `importContact` narrows to the contact's identity and encryption public keys and refuses any other outcome — holding those keys is the proof the binding signature verified. Closes #1167
A queued op the drain is holding emits no `opProgress`, so it sat at `queued` forever with no explanation. `SnapshotDescriptor.blocked` is the state that describes it, and the blueprint keeps it a snapshot field rather than an event precisely because it clears. The snapshot store projects the hold for one op id, the upload panel joins it to the row by the durable op id `commitWrite` returned, and the row renders it as a wait for room — apart from a plain queued row, from the `overBudget` command refusal, and from a terminal failure. Nothing is latched: a snapshot that no longer reports the hold erases it on the next paint. `retainedRecords` is reported alongside, so staged bytes this session cannot read do not leave an over-budget refusal unexplained. Closes #1075
Epoch floors are keyed by the root scope id, which is the same constant for every account, so on web the only separation available is the store namespace — and it was the constant `cipherbox`. Two accounts on one browser profile therefore shared one floor: the account with the lower write epoch was refused at cold start as a rollback, monotonically, with no way back. Desktop is unaffected; it already opens every store under a per-account directory. The account is not known when the worker is bootstrapped — the secret arrives later, in its own request — so the fix is to defer seam construction to `start` rather than to thread a prefix through the spawn handshake. The worker now hands `EngineHost` a seam factory, `start` carries the account it opens, and the engine is built on first start under `<prefix>-<accountId>-*`. A start naming a second account is refused rather than served the first account's stores, and every other call is refused before a start as the engine itself refuses it. The account id is the login session's own public identifier — the two coordinates of its TSS public key, non-secret and per-account by construction, mirroring desktop's account directory. `EngineHostConfig` loses the `dbPrefix` nothing ever set; `BrowserSeamsConfig` keeps it, which is how the browser suite isolates a run. Closes #856
- The TSS-point account-id format was written out twice, once per host; it now lives once in `@cipherbox/login` and both Core Kit sessions call it. - The store-name check was a description of what one producer emits rather than a safety property, so a natural id had to be mangled to pass it. It is now bounded-and-path-free, and the e2e hook passes a plain UUID. - `ImportedContact` was a hand-written twin of the `contactImported` variant; it is now that variant, and the import returns it rather than rebuilding it. - A hold test asserted null against a null baseline, so it passed for any implementation. It now lands a hold and asserts a failed refresh leaves it standing — only a snapshot can clear one. - Dropped the unread `data-held` attribute, the row-level clearing test the store and panel already cover, and the rationale restated at four call sites away from its home. - The engine-host fixtures await their start instead of relying on it running synchronously, and the repeated account and secret-source literals come from the testkit. Follow-up filed: per-account durable stores are never reclaimed.
The self-review pass loosened the store-name check to a bounded, path-free rule, but set the bound at 128 characters. A real account id is a secp256k1 point written as two 64-character hex coordinates and a separator — 129 — so every web cold start was refused as "account id is not a store namespace" except when a leading zero happened to shorten a coordinate. Every test used a short placeholder id, so nothing caught it. The bound now clears a full point, and a test pins a realistic one.

The guard's assertion could not tell the two orders apart: an export that ran before accountId() threw left the facade untouched either way, so the buffer it minted would have gone unscrubbed with the test still green. Count the exports. Also state why LoginSecret pairs the two fields instead of naming them.

Three changes that meet in the client's worker boundary: the command outcome stops being discarded, the browser engine's durable stores get a per-account namespace, and the drain's over-budget hold reaches the upload row.
Closes #1167
Closes #856
Closes #1075
Stop discarding the command outcome
Engine::commandanswers with aCommandOutcome, butEngineHostawaited it and returnedvoid, andserve.tsposted no response for acommandrequest at all. The imported contact's two public keys were unreachable from any host, and a queued op's durable id never crossed the boundary.EngineHost.commandreads the wasm-bindgen object into aCommandOutcomeDescriptorand calls.free()in afinally, so a refused read still releases it.commandrequest now answers with that descriptor. Both transports, the leader relay's private-port hop (which used to.then(() => undefined)), and the facade carry it through.EngineFacade.importContactnarrows to{ identityPublicKey, encPublicKey }and refuses any other outcome — holding those keys is the proof the binding signature verified, so aqueuedanswer there is a build mismatch, not a contact.An outcome whose
kindnames a field the glue does not carry is refused rather than shipped half-built.Namespace the browser stores per account
Epoch floors key on the scope id, and for an owner's root vault that is the constant
NodeId([0u8; 16]). Per-account separation comes from the owner pointer seed, not the key — so on web, where every store opened under the constantcipherboxprefix, two accounts on one browser profile shared one floor. The account with the lower write epoch was refused at cold start as a rollback, monotonically, with no recovery path. Desktop was already safe: it opens every store under a directory named by the account's identity public key.The account is unknown when the worker is bootstrapped —
spawnEngineWorkerposts the config at spawn, and the secret arrives later in its own request — so threading adbPrefixthrough the handshake could not work. Seam construction is deferred tostartinstead:EngineHosttakes a seam factory and builds theEngineHandleon the firststart, under<prefix>-<accountId>-{floors,staging,snapshot-cache}.startnaming a second account is refused (alreadyStarted) rather than served the first account's stores; every other call before a start is refused (notStarted), as the engine itself refuses it. The event pump waits for an engine rather than reading one that does not exist.makeBrowserSeamsvalidates the account id against a bounded, path-free pattern before it names a store: no separator, no leading dot, no case a store name need not preserve.The id itself is the login session's own public identifier — the two coordinates of its TSS public key, joined by
-so hex dropping leading zeroes cannot make two points spell one name. It is public key material, never secret, and it is the same class of value desktop already writes as a directory name.LoginSecretExportergainedaccountId(), so the shared handoff names the account it starts and a failover re-export carries it too; the desktop shell drops the argument because it derives its own below the seam, in Rust.EngineHostConfig.dbPrefixis retired — nothing ever set it.BrowserSeamsConfig.dbPrefixstays: it is how the browser suite isolates a run, and it now sits in front of the account rather than instead of it.No migration: v2 is pre-cutover, so floors written under the old constant name are simply orphaned.
Render the drain's hold
A queued op the drain is holding emits no
opProgress, so it sat atqueuedforever with no explanation.blueprint/engine.mdkeepsblockeda snapshot field rather than an event precisely because it is a state that clears.snapshotStoreprojects the hold for one op id, the upload panel joins it to the row by the durable idcommitWritereturned, and the row renders it as a wait for room — distinct from a plain queued row, from theoverBudgetcommand refusal that already landed, and from a terminal failure. Nothing is latched, so a snapshot that no longer reports the hold erases it on the next paint.retainedRecordsis reported alongside, so staged bytes this session cannot read do not leave an over-budget refusal unexplained on a vault that looks empty.Self-review
/simplifyand/security-reviewwere run on this diff and their findings folded back in.The security pass found no exploitable vulnerability introduced here, but it caught a real functional defect the simplify pass had introduced: the store-name bound was 128 characters while a real account id — two 64-character hex coordinates and a separator — is 129, so every web cold start would have been refused. Every test used a short placeholder id, so nothing caught it; the bound now clears a full point and a test pins a realistic one.
Two follow-ups filed, both with a dependency edge on #856:
deleteDatabasehas no production caller, and abandoned staging bytes are charged against the live account's headroom throughmeasureStorageHeadroomBytes.startignores which account it is, so its reads are answered by the leader's vault. This PR is the first to give the client an account discriminator, so the relay now has the material to close it.Verification
