240cdd3ea1 chore: mesh upgrade, clean up legacy special case code, simplify model selection for mesh (#5289)
Shared compute now has exactly two model choices: MeshLLM's virtual
`mesh`
model, or a model you name. Buzz picks between them in one place, and
buzz-agent no longer knows meshes exist.

## What changed

- **MeshLLM v0.74.0 → v0.75.1.** v0.75.0 added
`degrade_to_single_model`, so a
  `model=mesh` request is answered by one served model when there is no
committee to form, instead of failing. v0.75.1 adds Mesh-LLM#1196, which
skips stale pre-0.75 runtime cache entries rather than aborting startup
on
them — without it, anyone who had run mesh on 0.73/0.74 could not start.
- **Deleted the client-side mesh catalog probe.** buzz-agent used to
poll
`/v1/models` (5s TTL, 30s cooldown, two-observation debounce) to decide
whether `mesh` was safe to send. MeshLLM now decides per request, so the
  polling, its hysteresis, and its 503 fallback are gone.
- **One mapping point.** `relay_mesh_wire_model()` turns the stored
value into
a wire name: `auto` becomes `mesh`, a named model passes through. The
spawn
env, the ACP harness, and the readiness probe all use it, so they cannot
disagree — previously `BUZZ_ACP_MODEL` and the probe both said `auto`, a
name
  the mesh does not advertise.
- **Removed the `nostr-relay-pool` advisory exception.** #5404 allowed
RUSTSEC-2026-0243 "after mesh-llm migrates to nostr-sdk >= 0.45".
v0.75.1
does, so the retired crate is gone from both lockfiles and the exception
  would only mask a future advisory for it.
- **Deleted `scripts/ensure-mesh-native-runtime.sh`** and its six
justfile call
sites. It built llama.cpp from source into the runtime cache; the app
already
  downloads the signed release runtime itself, and CI never called it.

## Why it is better

**−639 lines of Rust.** Availability is decided by the node that knows
the
answer, per request, instead of by a client cache that could be stale
for up to
30 seconds. A second worker joining now takes effect on the next request
rather
than after two confirming probes.

## Behaviour change

A 503 on an explicit `mesh` request takes the ordinary transport retry
under
the same model instead of failing over to a second one — there is no
second
model to fail over to now. MoA repairs partial committee results
internally
before it reaches that point.

## Validation

`crates/buzz-relay/examples/mesh_agent_e2e.rs` now sends `mesh` where it
previously sent `auto` or the physical model id, so no leg was covering
what
Buzz actually puts on the wire. 4/4 on gemma-4-E4B, gemma-4-26B-A4B, and
Qwen3-8B — including a real ACP tool call through `mesh` into
buzz-dev-mcp,
asserted by reading the written file back off disk.

Hand-tested in the desktop app on both gemma-4 sizes: picked Auto, agent
logged
`model_id=mesh`, replied in channel.

## Not covered

A committee that forms and then loses a worker returns 502, and that
needs two
workers to reproduce — not testable on one machine.

Michael NealeandGitHub 38bf642fcf ci: prove the relay-driven mesh lifecycle — discover, join, infer, deny — with real nodes (#3862)
## Summary

CI now proves the full Buzz shared-compute join story end to end: a
member can discover another member's served model **through the Buzz
relay alone** and run inference over the mesh, while a non-member gets
nothing — the relay rejects its auth, and the mesh refuses to route for
it even holding a leaked endpoint address.

This is deliberately different from mesh-llm's own CI smokes (which
bootstrap two nodes with a hand-carried invite token / mdns): here the
**relay is the control plane**, exactly like the desktop app:

1. **Membership** — identities A and B are added via `buzz-admin`
(kind:13534 NIP-43 roster); C is not.
2. **Advertise** — each member publishes a client-signed kind:30003
discovery note carrying its MeshLLM owner binding and (for the serve
node) `serveTargets[].endpointAddr`, covered by an endpoint-binding
signature — the exact payload shape the desktop coordinator publishes.
3. **Trust** — the serve node derives its admission allowlist from the
relay (statuses ∩ roster) and requires the **exact expected {A, B}
owner-id set** before starting with `TrustPolicy::Allowlist`.
4. **Join** — the client verifies owner + endpoint bindings and
membership, then dials the relay-discovered endpoint (the desktop
join-watcher's `dial_endpoint_addr` step). No out-of-band token.
5. **Infer** — a chat completion against the client's local OpenAI
endpoint routes over QUIC to the serve node's model (CPU, SmolLM2-135M,
~105MB).
6. **Deny (differential)** — the stranger's NIP-42 auth must fail with
the relay's own membership rejection (`restricted: not a relay member` —
successful auth or any unrelated connect error fails the run), and
dialing the leaked endpoint must not produce a routed inference —
**while the trusted client re-proves inference immediately afterwards**,
so a dead serve node can't masquerade as an admission denial.

## What's in the PR

- `crates/buzz-relay/examples/mesh_relay_lifecycle_smoke.rs` — the
harness. One process per node (mesh-llm keeps process-global state under
`~/.mesh-llm`), orchestrator + serve/client/stranger roles,
byte-identical binding payloads to
`desktop/src-tauri/src/mesh_llm/identity.rs` (called out with
keep-in-sync comments). Child stdout is pumped through a reader thread
so every wait has a hard deadline; timed-out children are killed; exit
statuses are checked.
- `scripts/ci-mesh-lifecycle-smoke.sh` — provisions a membership-gated
relay (throwaway owner + signing identities via `buzz-admin
generate-key`), runs the harness, cleans up. Fails fast if :3000 is
already occupied (a stale open relay would mask gating).
- `scripts/start-relay-for-tests.sh` — gains opt-in NIP-43 membership
env passthrough (`BUZZ_REQUIRE_RELAY_MEMBERSHIP` + `RELAY_OWNER_PUBKEY`
+ `BUZZ_RELAY_PRIVATE_KEY`). Default behavior unchanged.
- `.github/workflows/mesh-lifecycle.yml` — separate, path-filtered,
non-required workflow (mesh paths, the harness's dependency crates,
`Cargo.lock`, dispatch), pinned to `ubuntu-24.04`. Caches the mesh
native runtime + HF model keyed on the lockfile hash, so a mesh pin bump
rolls the runtime cache. Uploads relay + harness logs on failure.

## Scope

This is an **independent protocol harness**: it speaks the same wire
protocol and payload shapes as the desktop but re-implements the
binding/verification logic (the desktop crate is outside the workspace).
Regressions inside the desktop's own discovery filtering are the desktop
unit tests' job; what this smoke proves is that the relay + mesh-llm SDK
+ admission stack support the lifecycle end to end.

## Relationship to mesh-llm's CI

Follows the shape mesh-llm's own CI proved stable (tiny CPU model, one
runner, multiple real mesh-llm processes over real QUIC — cf. their
`ci-two-node-client-serving-smoke.sh`), but swaps the token bootstrap
for the relay-driven lifecycle, which is the part only Buzz can test.

## Validation

Green on GitHub Actions (ubuntu-24.04) across three runs, including
after rebases onto the mesh v0.74 upgrade (#3467) and latest main:

```
PASS 1/6: relay-derived allowlist is exactly {A, B}
PASS 2/6: serve member ready + advertised model: jc-builds/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF:Q4_K_M
PASS 3/6: client member discovered + joined via relay
PASS 4/6: inference routed over the mesh: "PONG"
PASS 5/6: relay rejected the stranger's NIP-42 auth (membership gate)
PASS 6/6: stranger denied (gossip visible, inference rejected: 503 all tunnels failed) while trusted inference still routes
PASS: full relay-driven mesh lifecycle verified
```

Also validated locally on macOS. `cargo fmt --all --check` and `cargo
clippy -p buzz-relay --all-targets -- -D warnings` pass.

## Notes

- The harness follows the repo's mesh `[dev-dependencies]` pin
automatically, so it doubles as a canary for future mesh upgrades (it
already caught the v0.73.1 → v0.74.0 bump during development).
- The stranger "deny" accepts either shape mesh-llm exhibits: no model
visibility at all, or gossip visibility with inference refused —
mesh-llm applies the receiving node's owner policy after the gossip
handshake, so admission gates *routing*, not gossip. The differential
trusted-inference re-check (PASS 6/6) is what makes that a real denial
rather than a dead server.
- Model-visibility windows are tunable via `MESH_CLIENT_WINDOW_SECS` /
`MESH_STRANGER_WINDOW_SECS` if shared runners prove slow — pin a longer
window in the workflow env rather than re-running the job.

4933672eb4 feat(mesh): upgrade embedded mesh to v0.74 and harden shared compute (split 1/2 of #3467) (#3741)
## Summary

This is **part 1 of 2** split out from #3467 (per Tyler's request),
carrying only the mesh-scoped changes. The agent/ACP response-behavior
changes and the new `send_message` tool stay in #3467 as part 2. All
commits are @michaelneale's work, cherry-picked with authorship
preserved.

- Upgrade embedded Mesh to v0.74.0 (tag-pinned instead of commit rev)
and use canonical Gemma model IDs.
- Keep shared compute serving through member joins, roster changes, app
recovery, and community switching.
- Wait for actual model readiness and avoid resuming incomplete
downloads after quit.
- Leave `BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT` unset by default so each model's
chat template picks its own thinking default (`none` suppressed Gemma
tool-calling entirely; pinning `low` made Qwen3 burn ~4x output budget).
Explicit agent/persona/global values still win.

## Relationship to #3467

Contains the mesh commits from #3467 (`2cd640b23`, `0ad81c341`,
`ad13ed841`) rebased onto current main, with one deliberate exclusion:
the `crates/buzz-agent/src/llm.rs` reasoning→text parser change from
`2cd640b23` is **not** here. That change unconditionally affects every
OpenAI-compat/Responses provider, so it belongs with the reply-behavior
work in part 2, where it can be reviewed as what it is.

Not included (remaining in #3467 / part 2):
- typed `send_message` tool in dev-mcp + `BUZZ_ACP_SEND_MESSAGE_TOOL`
gating
- plain-reply delivery fallback in buzz-acp
(`BUZZ_ACP_DELIVER_PLAIN_REPLIES`)
- the mesh_agent_e2e P5/P6 rewrite (exists to prove the reply path)
- the two `env.insert` preset opt-ins in `relay_mesh.rs` for the flags
above
- the llm.rs parser change

This PR is independently mergeable; part 2's flags are all off by
default so it can land before or after.

## Testing

- `cargo test -p buzz-relay --locked` — 780 passed (one telemetry test
is order-sensitive under parallel default settings; passes in the
pre-push suite and standalone, unrelated to this diff — files untouched
here).
- `just desktop-tauri-test` (default features) — 1877 passed.
- `cargo test --locked --features mesh-llm` in `desktop/src-tauri` —
1961 passed, including the new relay-mesh preset and
coordinator/recovery tests.
- Both `Cargo.lock`s resolve with `--locked` against the v0.74.0 tag.
- Full pre-push hook suite green (rust-tests, desktop-check/test, tauri
checks).

Live validation of the mesh v0.74 upgrade itself is documented on #3467
(two-Mac cross-version test).
