CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): fix-forward #3943 (tsk-4wadcj): agent reply route returns 500 when the channel lookup raises or channel_id is not a string (CodeRabbit Minor, introduced by #3940, untouched by #3943)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-jreuii.

REVISION: built on exec/tsk-4wadcj (cut at 03b6724597dfd135366e7b9335148cea258d7e1f), not on dev. That branch's
commits are ancestors of this one. Verified by git merge-base --is-ancestor
before the PR was opened.

fix(agent-chat): handle channel lookup errors and invalid channel_id type

Fix two issues in the agent chat reply route (self_chat_reply) introduced by #3940:

  1. In _resolve_target_channel, validate that channel_id is a string before
    passing it to the store. Non-string values (list, dict) now return 400
    with "invalid channel_id" instead of causing a SQLite binding error (500).

  2. In self_chat_reply, wrap the chat_channels.get_channel call in try/except.
    Store errors now return 503 with "chat store unavailable" (matching the
    existing contract for trace_id lookups) instead of an unhandled 500.

Both cases are fail-closed: no reply is recorded when these errors occur.

Summary by Gitar

  • Channel membership enforcement:
    • Replies to channels the agent's slug is not a member of return 403, including unknown channels
    • trace_id resolution applies the same membership check as explicit channel_id
  • Registry slug collision:
    • Newer registry agents whose canonical IDs strip to the same slug get 403, and registry lookup failures return 503
  • Store errors:
    • Trace message lookup failures return 503 chat store unavailable
  • Docs and tests:
    • Updated docs/agent-coordination.md and added reply route tests for membership, collision, and lookup errors

This will update automatically on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Agent chat replies can only be sent to channels that include the agent; requests targeting other or unknown channels return 403 without recording a reply.
    • Registry and chat lookup failures return 503 instead of falling back or producing an unhandled error.
    • Invalid channel IDs return 400, and agents with colliding slugs cannot share a session.

Fix 1 (route only, tinyagentos/routes/agent_chat_session.py, before
`record_reply`): work out the target channel the same way `_handle_reply`
does (body `channel_id`; else the channel of the message `trace_id` names,
via `request.app.state.chat_messages.get_message`). If there is a target
channel, load it with `request.app.state.chat_channels.get_channel` and
answer 403 `{"error": "not a member of this channel"}` unless the agent's
slug is in `channel["members"]`. No target channel = unchanged (falls back
to the agent's own DM).

Fix 2 (`_resolve_slug`): two registry agents whose canonical ids strip to
the same slug must not share a session. After the local-agent collision
check, refuse with 403 `{"error": "handle collides with another registry
agent"}` when any OTHER active registry entry strips to the same slug (use
the registry store on app.state; read tinyagentos/agent_registry_store.py
for the listing method, do not invent one).

Tests added: reply with foreign channel_id -> 403; reply with trace_id of
message in foreign channel -> 403; reply into own DM -> 202 (positive
control); second registry agent with colliding slug -> 403.

RED-PROOF:

Walkthrough

The agent chat reply route now rejects registry slug collisions, resolves target channels from channel_id or trace_id, and checks channel membership before recording replies. Registry and chat-store failures return 503; invalid channel IDs return 400.

Changes: Agent chat replies

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry slug resolution
tinyagentos/routes/agent_chat_session.py, tests/test_agent_chat_session_routes.py
The route checks active registry agents for matching derived slugs. A registry lookup failure returns 503, and tests verify that only the first matching agent is allowed.
Target channel resolution and authorization
tinyagentos/routes/agent_chat_session.py, tests/test_agent_chat_session_routes.py, docs/agent-coordination.md, changelog.d/*agent-chat*.md, changelog.d/tsk-*.md
The route resolves targets from channel_id or trace_id, validates lookups, and checks channel membership before recording replies. Tests and documentation cover membership denials and error responses.

Lead review: PASS on head f252262 (fix-forward of #3943, card tsk-jreuii; chain top over #3943 + #3942 + #3940).

Diff vs base 03b6724 is exactly the card: a non-string channel_id now returns 400 before any lookup, and a raising get_channel returns the same 503 payload as the registry and trace lookups. Re-measured locally: head 21 passed; base route file with the head's tests 2 failed / 19 passed (the two new tests, both named in the commit body's red fence). In-house review PASS after one fix round. Commit author jaylfc, no attribution, no em dashes. Nothing deleted.

merge-hold: agent-auth path, waits for Jay. Clearer = To do job-261024-29fd93 (recommendation: merge #3944 as the chain top). CodeRabbit is rate-limited on this PR; review requested below. On merge close tsk-wfkhb2, tsk-bnohyn, tsk-4wadcj and tsk-jreuii by hand.

A reply targeting a channel (via explicit `channel_id` or via `trace_id`
resolving to a message's channel) is accepted only when the agent's slug is
a member of that channel; otherwise 403 `not a member of this channel` is
returned and the reply is not recorded. Two registry agents whose canonical
IDs strip to the same slug cannot share a session: only the first-registered
agent may use it; subsequent agents receive 403 `handle collides with another
registry agent`.

Document the new reply-route responses and limit retry guidance.

This agent-facing API now returns 400 for an invalid channel_id and 503 when registry or chat-store lookup raises. Document these responses so clients can handle them correctly. The 400 response is not retryable without changing the request. The lookup-related 503 responses occur before record_reply, so retrying them cannot duplicate that reply.

📝 Suggested doc addition
 agent may use it; subsequent agents receive 403 `handle collides with another
 registry agent`.
+A non-string `channel_id` returns 400 `invalid channel_id`. If the agent
+registry or a chat store lookup raises, the route returns 503 and does not
+record the reply; these lookup failures can be retried.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
A reply targeting a channel (via explicit `channel_id` or via `trace_id`
resolving to a message's channel) is accepted only when the agent's slug is
a member of that channel; otherwise 403 `not a member of this channel` is
returned and the reply is not recorded. Two registry agents whose canonical
IDs strip to the same slug cannot share a session: only the first-registered
agent may use it; subsequent agents receive 403 `handle collides with another
registry agent`.

Review comment at @docs/agent-coordination.md around lines 2437 - 2443:
Update the reply-route response documentation near the channel-membership and
slug-collision behavior to include 400 for a non-string channel_id, which is not
retryable without changing the request, and 503 when registry or chat-store
lookup raises; clarify that these lookup failures occur before record_reply and
can be retried without duplicating the reply.

Lead adjudication of the CodeRabbit review on f252262: 1 Minor (Maintainability, docs/agent-coordination.md, comment 4366990680) = documentation wording nit, non-blocking, deferred. Checks 34/34 green on the head, mergeable clean. Jay said go on 10-24 (To do 29fd93); removing merge-hold and merging #3944 as chain top over #3943 + #3942 + #3940.
