fix(relay): carry a session snapshot over 1 MiB to a phone that offers large messages - #2897
A session snapshot larger than 1 MiB never reached a phone or browser over the Ovis relay. VirtualSocket.send counted the frame itself against OUTPUT_HARD_BYTES and closed it with 4008, and the mux caps one WebSocket message at 1 MiB (LIMITS_V1.max_ws_message_bytes, 1009). So a large session closed and reconnected every time it was opened over the relay. #2740 fixed direct connections only. The v1 limit cannot just be raised, because WELCOME requires every v1 limit to match exactly. A peer on the old value would then refuse every connection.
Fix
Negotiated feature, v1 limits unchanged. A phone offers the new mux feature large-ws-messages in HELLO (shared/relay-channel.ts). A PC that reads it (server/relay/session.ts) sends that phone WS messages up to MAX_LARGE_WS_MESSAGE_BYTES (3 MiB, so the 4 MiB outgoing queue still holds the 1 MiB a PC's core sends behind one). The feature is never selected in WELCOME, because the PC may send WELCOME before it reads HELLO. Any other phone keeps the 1 MiB cap, so old and new apps, shells and servers still connect in every combination.
Receiving a large message (shared/relay-mux-engine.ts). A message over 1 MiB cannot wait for the 1 MiB window to credit it. So when its START arrives, the receiver reserves its whole size against the existing 12 MiB receive bound, before allocating anything. It credits each fragment as it is copied in and releases the reservation when the message is handed over. A message that does not fit closes its WS with 1009 and the session continues. Inbound payload stays within the reservations, so the memory bound in docs/relay-mux-limits.md holds as written.
Codec.decodeFrame now accepts a START length up to 4 MiB. The engine holds each message to what the peer negotiated before it decodes (oversizedMessage uses receiveMessageBytes).
VirtualSocket.send. The core already holds each client to OUTPUT_HARD_BYTES and excuses larger frames while they drain (connections.ts, fix(terminal): relay a remote PC's snapshot over 1 MiB and bound large frames by a deadline #2740). The virtual socket's own check is now only a last guard, like backpressureLimit on a native socket. A frame larger than the phone accepts still closes as stalled (4008), as it did before.
PC-to-PC tunnel (server/relay-pc.ts). It offers the feature too (it opens its channel the same way a phone does), so its local socket's budget now has room for one large message.
Docs (docs/relay-mux-limits.md) and a changelog fragment.
Validation
New tests. Each fails without the fix:
shared/relay-mux-engine.test.ts:
A 1.8 MB message reaches a peer that takes large messages, and the reservation, inbound bytes and send buffer all return to zero. A 3 MiB message followed by 1 MiB still queues, and a message over 3 MiB is still refused with 1009.
A peer that did not offer the feature keeps the 1 MiB cap.
A large message that would exceed the 12 MiB reservation bound is closed with 1009 while the session stays up.
Removing the early credit, the reservation or its release each makes one of these tests fail (checked by hand).
server/relay/session-ws.contract.test.ts: a real RelaySession with HELLO offering the feature delivers a frame over 1 MiB through VirtualSocket, plus the frame sent behind it. Reverting either the VirtualSocket guard or the session's sendLargeMessages makes it fail. The existing overflow test now checks the close for a phone without the feature.
shared/relay-mux.test.ts: the codec's START bound moves to 3 MiB + 1.
bun test shared/relay-mux-engine.test.ts shared/relay-mux.test.ts shared/relay-mux-throughput.test.ts: 303 pass.
bun test server/relay src/lib/relay shared/relay-channel: all pass. bun test server/relay-pc.test.ts server/relay-pc.contract.test.ts plus the mux and session tests: 327 pass.
bun run typecheck: passed.
bun run check fast: workflow syntax, generated types/themes, typecheck and build passed. Unit tests: 1 fail (run on both heads). The one failure (src/lib/i18n.test.ts > keeps each part file at 400 lines or fewer) is already on origin/main 483fdb8: feat(sidebar): group the Agents list by state, ordered by longest wait, recent or name #2869 took src/lib/i18n/settings.{ja,ko,zh}.ts to 404 lines. This PR does not touch src/.
…s large messages
A phone offers the large-ws-messages mux feature in HELLO; a PC that reads it
sends that phone WS messages up to 4 MiB. The receiver reserves such a message
against the 12 MiB receive bound, credits each fragment as it arrives and
releases the reservation on delivery. VirtualSocket no longer closes a frame
the core excused as stalled; a phone without the feature keeps the v1 limit.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
PCs can send WebSocket messages up to 4 MiB through the relay when both the PC and phone or browser support large messages.
Bug Fixes
Session snapshots larger than 1 MiB can now be delivered without the connection being treated as stalled and repeatedly reconnecting.
Messages that exceed the supported size or available receive capacity are rejected without interrupting the rest of the session.
The relay mux now supports negotiated WebSocket messages up to 4 MiB while retaining the v1 limit for peers without the capability. The relay session negotiates support, and receive reservations remain bounded.

Summary
Mux limits and message handling shared/relay-mux.ts, shared/relay-mux-engine.ts, shared/relay-mux-engine.test.ts, shared/relay-mux.test.ts, docs/relay-mux-limits.md
The mux adds the large-ws-messages capability and a 4 MiB maximum. It applies separate send and receive limits, reserves inbound capacity for oversized messages, and tests successful delivery and 1009 rejection cases. The documentation describes negotiation and reservation behavior.
Relay capability negotiation and delivery shared/relay-channel.ts, server/relay/session.ts, server/relay/virtual-socket.ts, server/relay/session-ws.contract.test.ts, changelog.d/large-session-snapshot-relay.md
The client advertises the capability, and the relay session accepts it when offered. VirtualSocket checks messages against the negotiated limit. A contract test covers delivery of a snapshot larger than 1 MiB followed by another message. The changelog records the fix and notes that both endpoints need this version.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a fix that carries session snapshots over 1 MiB over the relay to phones that offer large-message support. It matches the changeset, which adds the negotiated large-ws-messages feature, the 4 MiB cap for offering peers, and the VirtualSocket guard change. It follows the conventional-commit style and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The PR satisfies the coding requirements in [#2773]. shared/relay-channel.ts advertises large-ws-messages. server/relay/session.ts enables large sends only for phones that offer the feature. v1 limits remain unchanged, so mixed-version connections retain the 1 MiB path. shared/relay-mux-engine.ts enforces the negotiated send and receive limits, reserves large inbound messages against the 12 MiB bound, credits fragments, and releases the reservation after delivery. shared/relay-mux.ts permits the 4 MiB codec bound. server/relay/virtual-socket.ts applies the excused-frame behavior while retaining the negotiated-size guard. The added tests cover large delivery, fallback behavior, reservation overflow, codec bounds, and virtual-socket delivery.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay within [#2773]. The modified source files implement feature advertisement, relay negotiation, mux accounting, codec limits, and virtual-socket backpressure. The added tests verify these behaviors. The documentation and changelog describe the same relay snapshot change. No unrelated source or product-area changes appear in the whole-PR summary.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the Change and Validation structure of the template. The Change section explains the problem (1 MiB snapshots closed as stalled over the relay), the negotiated large-ws-messages feature, the receiver reservation design, the codec and VirtualSocket changes, and the PC-to-PC tunnel update. It links issue #2773 and keeps v1 limits unchanged for other peers. The Validation section lists targeted tests, failure-before-fix checks, the exact bun test commands with pass counts, typecheck, and the check fast result, including the one unrelated i18n failure already on origin/main. Contract-test coverage for the WS change is named. The description does not explicitly list the changelog fragment as a validation item, and it does not state that the changelog fragment was added, although it lists it under Fix. Those gaps are minor.

…the PC tunnel carry one
A 4 MiB message filled the 4 MiB outgoing queue, so the next frame reset the
stream; cap large messages at 3 MiB. The PC-to-PC tunnel closed its local socket
past 1 MiB buffered; give its budget room for one large message.
Review round 1 (Codex gpt-6.1-terra, xhigh), and how each finding was resolved:
MEDIUM, reproduced: a full-size large message left the mux no room behind it. The cap was 4 MiB, the same as the mux's 4 MiB outgoing queue. So a 4 MiB snapshot followed at once by a small frame reset the stream with resource_exhausted. Fixed in the second commit: MAX_LARGE_WS_MESSAGE_BYTES is now 3 MiB, which leaves the queue room for the 1 MiB a PC's core still sends behind one large frame. The engine test now queues a 3 MiB message followed by 1 MiB and expects the stream to stay live. It fails with a 4 MiB cap.
MEDIUM, not reproduced end to end: the PC-to-PC tunnel (server/relay-pc.ts) still closed its local socket once more than 1 MiB was buffered. A remote PC's snapshot over 1 MiB could still be cut off when the local socket was briefly backpressured. Fixed in the same commit: the tunnel's budget now has room for one message as large as the remote PC may send (OUTPUT_HARD_BYTES + MAX_LARGE_WS_MESSAGE_BYTES). No new test covers this, because it depends on loopback socket buffering. The existing relay-pc unit and contract tests pass.
LOW, already on main before this PR: reset releases a stream's reservation while a still-pending onMessage handler holds the message. This lifecycle predates the PR, which only raises the size of one such message from 1 MiB to 3 MiB. In production the handlers (the virtual socket and the shell adapter) return without waiting on the message. Left as is.
Known limit: other streams share the 4 MiB outgoing queue. If a large message and a lot of other queued traffic coincide, the stream can still be reset (resource_exhausted), and the client reconnects as it did before this PR.

- Around line 65-70: Update the per-WS inbound payload bound in the
documentation to state that it is 1 MiB normally and up to 4 MiB for a phone
offering `large-ws-messages`. Clarify that the larger payload remains reserved
against the existing 12 MiB aggregate bound.
Review comments at @server/relay/virtual-socket.ts:
- Line 68: The output-size guard in the VirtualSocket send path does not account
for mux queue capacity reserved by an in-progress snapshot. Defer pty output for
the affected client while the snapshot holds that capacity, resuming when room
becomes available; establish a safe approach that respects the shared attachment
and does not pause unrelated clients. Preserve the existing guard and ensure
queued snapshots are neither dropped nor displaced.

Major (queue room behind a large snapshot): resolved in 1bb4ba9, the same finding as Codex MEDIUM 1 above. The large-message cap is now 3 MiB, so the 4 MiB outgoing queue holds one such message plus the 1 MiB budget the core enforces on everything sent behind it (connections.ts closes the client with 4008 past that). Output on other streams sharing the queue at the same moment remains the known limit described above.
Minor (per-WS inbound bound in the docs): fixed in the latest commit (docs only).

Fixes #2773
Problem
A session snapshot larger than 1 MiB never reached a phone or browser over the Ovis relay.
VirtualSocket.sendcounted the frame itself againstOUTPUT_HARD_BYTESand closed it with 4008, and the mux caps one WebSocket message at 1 MiB (LIMITS_V1.max_ws_message_bytes, 1009). So a large session closed and reconnected every time it was opened over the relay. #2740 fixed direct connections only. The v1 limit cannot just be raised, because WELCOME requires every v1 limit to match exactly. A peer on the old value would then refuse every connection.Fix
large-ws-messagesin HELLO (shared/relay-channel.ts). A PC that reads it (server/relay/session.ts) sends that phone WS messages up toMAX_LARGE_WS_MESSAGE_BYTES(3 MiB, so the 4 MiB outgoing queue still holds the 1 MiB a PC's core sends behind one). The feature is never selected in WELCOME, because the PC may send WELCOME before it reads HELLO.
