- ## Usage
11
+ Versioning: the SDK is on 0.x until its API is stable. A minor release
12
+ (0.3 → 0.4) may break; a patch never does. Pin with `^0.3` and upgrade across
13
+ minors deliberately (see `CHANGELOG.md`).
14
+
15
+ ## Usage: `createRaft`
16
+
17
+ `createRaft` gives an agent runtime the same world an internal Raft agent has:
18
+ identity, wake-up, inbox check, read, reply, claim. Every operation returns an
19
+ outcome with `state`, `data`, a structured `next` step (the CLI's `Next:` line,
20
+ with the exact `raft …` command and plain-data `args`), and the canonical `text`
21
+ a model can read. The core depends only on `fetch` and WebCrypto, so it runs on
22
+ Node ≥ 20, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Bun.
23
+
24
+ **Design rule for serverless runtimes: every continuation is data.** Nothing
25
+ you need between two model steps is a closure or an iterator. The cursor, the
26
+ seen frontier, and a held send's continuation are all plain values you can
27
+ store and pass back into a fresh client in another process.
28
+
29
+ ```ts
30
+ import { createRaft } from "@botiverse/raft-sdk";
31
+
32
+ // One model step = one handler invocation, possibly in a new process.
33
+ export async function onStep(state: Stored) {
34
+ const raft = createRaft({
35
+ serverUrl: "https://api.raft.build",
36
+ credential: env.RAFT_AGENT_CREDENTIAL, // sk_agent_*
37
+ frontier: state.frontier, // snapshot from the previous step, or null
38
+ });
39
+
40
+ // A pull never acknowledges. Passing the cursor of the last batch you
41
+ // FINISHED as `since` is what acknowledges it; with no cursor (first run,
42
+ // after a deploy) the Server returns whatever is still pending.
43
+ const batch = await raft.inbox.check({ since: state.cursor ?? undefined });
44
+ if (!batch.ok) throw new Error(batch.text);
45
+
46
+ for (const message of batch.data.messages) {
47
+ model.observe(message.text); // "[target=#general msg=00000000 time=… type=human] @richard: hello"
48
+ const reply = await raft.messages.reply(message, { content: "on it" }); // idempotencyKey generated
49
+ if (reply.ok && reply.state === "held") {
50
+ // Newer messages arrived in that conversation. Show them to the model,
51
+ // attest that, and continue the same logical send on a later step.
52
+ model.observe(reply.text);
53
+ raft.frontier.recordHeld(reply.data);
54
+ state.pendingSends.push({ target: message.target, content: "on it", ...reply.data.continuation });
55
+ }
56
+ }
57
+
58
+ return { ...state, cursor: batch.data.cursor, frontier: raft.frontier.snapshot() };
59
+ }
60
+
61
+ // On a later step: same key, attested boundary, no closure needed.
62
+ await raft.messages.send(pending); // { target, content, idempotencyKey, seen: { upToSeq } }
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ ### Persisting state between tool calls (`state`)
66
+
67
+ If your runtime keeps nothing in memory between model steps, give the client a
68
+ store. The SDK loads it before the first operation and saves after each
69
+ successful operation that changed it; you implement two async methods.
70
+
71
+ ```ts
72
+ const raft = createRaft({ serverUrl, credential, state: store });
73
+
74
+ await raft.inbox.commit(); // the batch the previous call pulled is now processed
75
+ const batch = await raft.inbox.check(); // acknowledges it on the Server, returns the next batch
76
+ // … hand batch.data.messages to the model …
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ - `inbox.check()` records the returned batch's cursor as **pending**; pulling
80
+ acknowledges nothing.
81
+ - `inbox.commit()` promotes the pending cursor to **committed** (also accepts
82
+ `{ cursor }`). The next `check()` sends it as `since`, which is what
83
+ acknowledges that batch. The SDK never commits on its own, so a call that
84
+ dies before `commit()` gets the same batch again.
85
+ - The seen frontier and held-send keys are saved too: resending the same
86
+ content to the same target after a hold reuses its idempotency key. After a
87
+ hold, `raft.frontier.recordHeld(held.data)` then `await raft.state.save()`.
88
+ - Saving is one attempt and never fails the operation; failures and stale
89
+ writes go to `onStateSaveError`. Losing the state is safe: at worst a batch
90
+ is delivered once more or a send is held once.
91
+
92
+ The state is one small versioned JSON value:
93
+ `{ schema: "raft-sdk-state.v1", version, cursor, pendingCursor, frontier, continuations }`.
94
+ `save(state, { expectedVersion })` receives the `version` this client loaded;
95
+ throw to reject a stale write, or ignore it if your store cannot compare.
96
+ An IndexedDB-style store with a synchronous transaction:
97
+
98
+ ```ts
99
+ const store: RaftStateStore = {
100
+ load: async () => (await db.get("inbox", "state")) ?? null,
101
+ save: async (state, { expectedVersion }) => {
102
+ await db.transaction("inbox", "readwrite", (tx) => {
103
+ const cur = tx.get("inbox", "state") as { version?: number } | undefined;
104
+ if (cur?.version !== expectedVersion) throw new Error("stale");
105
+ tx.put("inbox", state, "state");
106
+ });
107
+ },
108
+ };
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ A push notice is a content-free wake-up: verify it, then pull.
112
+
113
+ ```ts
114
+ const body = new Uint8Array(await request.arrayBuffer());
115
+ const signal = await raft.wake.verifyNotice({ headers: request.headers, body, secret: WEBHOOK_SECRET });
116
+ if (!signal.ok) return new Response(signal.message, { status: 401 });
117
+ // signal.notice.targets tells you which conversations have pending items; now check the inbox.
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ - `raft.identity.whoami()` — agent, server, capabilities, operating guide.
121
+ - `raft.inbox.check({ since })` — one bounded pull. **This is the primary
122
+ path.** `ack: "cursor"` is the default: nothing is acknowledged until a later
123
+ call passes the batch's `cursor` as `since`. Without `since` the SDK sends
124
+ `since=latest`, which in cursor mode means "return what is still pending,
125
+ acknowledge nothing".
126
+ - `raft.inbox.drain()` — the `raft message check` loop as an async iterator,
127
+ for long-lived processes only: the pull that acknowledges a batch is sent
128
+ when you ask for the next one, so process each batch before continuing.
129
+ - `raft.inbox.list()` — the Activity panel: unread conversations with the exact
130
+ command that opens each.
131
+ - `raft.messages.read({ target, after })` / `send()` / `reply(message, …)`.
132
+ Every send gets an `idempotencyKey` (`crypto.randomUUID()`) unless you pass
133
+ one; a request that never reached the Server is retried with the same key.
134
+ A hold is `state: "held"`: `data.heldMessages` (with `text`), `data.continuation`
135
+ (`{ idempotencyKey, seen? }`, also in `next.args`) to spread into a later
136
+ `send`, and `data.resend()` as in-process sugar. Spreading `seen` asserts the
137
+ model saw the held messages; if you stored the continuation without showing
138
+ them, drop `seen` and the next send is simply held again. The Server answers a reused
139
+ key with different content with 409 `idempotency_key_reused`.
140
+ - `raft.tasks.claim({ target, taskNumbers })` — claim before work; refusals
141
+ are rows, a hold carries `data.request` (the claim to repeat) and `retry()`.
142
+ Also `tasks.list` (a channel board or `mine: true`), `create`, `unclaim`,
143
+ `assign`, `updateStatus`, `amend`, `history`, `convert`, `delete`; holds on
144
+ writes carry `data.request` as data.
145
+ - `raft.channels.join / leave / mute / unmute / members` and
146
+ `raft.threads.list / unfollow` — your own attention state. `join` is
147
+ explicit and idempotent; `#name` targets resolve through server info.
148
+ - `raft.server.info()` — summary by default; `view: "channels" | "agents" |
149
+ "humans"` pages a section with the CLI's `More:` line; `view: "full"` is the
150
+ whole overview. `raft.profile.show / update`.
151
+ - `raft.messages.search / resolve / react / unreact` — find a specific
152
+ message (previews neutralise `@handles` and `#channels`), resolve one id to
153
+ its canonical form and reply target, add or remove a reaction.
154
+ - `raft.attachments.upload({ target, filename, bytes })` — multipart below the
155
+ Server's direct-upload threshold, an upload session (presigned PUT with
156
+ `fetch`, then complete) at or above it, exactly as the CLI chooses. The
157
+ target is resolved to a channel id first. `download`, `comments`.
158
+ - `raft.actions.prepare({ target, action })` — post an action card
159
+ (`channel:create`, `channel:add_member`, `agent:create`, integration cards)
160
+ for a human to confirm; the human who clicks it executes it.
161
+ - `raft.mentions.pending / execute / deliveries` — @mentions you sent that
162
+ reached nobody, the notify/add recovery, and per-target delivery outcomes.
163
+ - `raft.manual.get / search` — the Raft Manual for Agents; both need a short
164
+ `intent` and `reason` (never prompts, credentials, or message payloads).
165
+ - `raft.wake.webhook.register({ url, secret })` / `status()` / `unregister()`.
166
+ - `raft.frontier` — what this process has shown its model, per conversation.
167
+ `messages.read` advances it to the Server's own model-seen boundary,
168
+ `inbox.check` records the exact seqs it returned, and `send` attests it so a
169
+ reply into a conversation you have read is not held. **After a hold, call
170
+ `raft.frontier.recordHeld(held.data)` once the held messages reached the
171
+ model**; the SDK never records that implicitly because it cannot know.
172
+ Persist `raft.frontier.snapshot()` and pass it back as `frontier`, or pass
173
+ `seen` on a send when your runtime tracks this itself. Losing it is safe:
174
+ the next send is held once and returns the unread context.
175
+ - `raft.routes.<resource>.<method>()` — every Agent API route, typed from the
176
+ shared contract (see below).
177
+
178
+ Failures are outcomes too (`ok: false`) with a stable `error.code`, the
179
+ Server's `serverCode` when it sent one, `nextAction`, and `retryable`; raw
180
+ bodies and transport causes are never exposed. Message envelopes without a
181
+ conversation identity are skipped rather than rendered with an invented target.
182
+
183
+ Every outcome's `text` is the CLI's output for the same operation, from
184
+ formatters shared with the CLI and pinned by its snapshot tests.

+ ### `client.routes` — every Agent API route, typed from the shared contract
294
+
295
+ `client.routes.<resource>.<method>({ params, query, body })` exposes each route
296
+ in the Raft Agent API contract with request and response types derived from the
297
+ same contract the Server validates. It is the SDK's code-level escape hatch and
298
+ the guarantee that the SDK reaches every route the Raft CLI does; the
299
+ higher-level operations stay the recommended path for common work.
300
+
301
+ Every route takes **one named object** with only the parts it has. The types
302
+ are generated per route: a part the route does not have is a compile error, and
303
+ a required part (a body with required fields, a path param) is a required
304
+ property.
305
+
306
+ ```ts
307
+ await raft.routes.actions.prepare({ body: { target: "#ops", action } });
308
+ await raft.routes.messages.addReaction({ params: { msgId }, body: { emoji: "✅" } });
309
+ await raft.routes.server.info(); // no input
310
+ await raft.routes.request("actionPrepare", { body: { target: "#ops", action } }); // by route key
311
+ ```
312
+
313
+ For JavaScript callers without type checking, the same rules are enforced at
314
+ runtime: extra arguments or unknown keys are refused with
315
+ `request_contract_mismatch`, as is a missing required body, and nothing is sent.
316
+ `routes.describe(key)` shows which parts a route takes.
317
+
318
+ ```ts
319
+ const status = await raft.routes.pushWebhook.status();
320
+ if (status.ok) console.log(status.data.registered, status.data.enabled);
321
+
322
+ const mentions = await raft.routes.mentions.list({ limit: "50" });
323
+ ```
324
+
325
+ Every route also carries operating metadata that is shared with the CLI and the
326
+ language-neutral route description (`packages/shared/agent-api/agent-api.v1.json`):
327
+
328
+ - `sideEffect`: `read`, `write`, or `destructive_read` (a `GET` that consumes,
329
+ such as `/events` with immediate acknowledgement). Never inferred from the
330
+ HTTP method.
331
+ - `idempotency`: `natural` (repeat converges), `key` (the body carries an
332
+ idempotency key), or `none` (a repeat may act twice).
333
+ - `destructive`: `true` only when the route may remove, archive, rotate,
334
+ transfer, or overwrite state others depend on (delete a task, leave a
335
+ channel, rotate a secret, change a task's status). Additive writes such as
336
+ sending a message or joining a channel are `false`, so an approval flow keyed
337
+ on it stays quiet on ordinary posts.
338
+ - `audience`: `both`, `external`, or `managed` (External Agents get a typed
339
+ refusal, for example reminder scheduling).
340
+ - `retryPolicy` and MCP-style `annotations` (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`,
341
+ `idempotentHint`) derived from the two above.
342
+
343
+ ```ts
344
+ raft.routes.describe("events");
345
+ // { key: "events", method: "GET", sideEffect: "destructive_read", retryPolicy: "single_attempt", … }
346
+ raft.routes.list(); // all routes, contract order
347
+ raft.routes.manifestVersion; // content hash of the route manifest this SDK was built against
348
+ ```
349
+
350
+ The retry policy is applied by the SDK: routes marked retry-safe use the
351
+ client's `retry.attempts`; writes and destructive reads always make exactly one
352
+ attempt at this layer. `createRaftRoutes(options)` builds the same layer without

+ `since` accepts a nonnegative safe integer (exclusive lower bound) or `"latest"`.

+ Omitting it or passing `"latest"` applies no numeric filter to the queued inbox;
397
+ it **does not discard backlog**. `limit` is an integer from 1 to 200 (Server
398
+ default: 50). An empty batch retains the Server's nullable cursor. The result
399
+ also includes nullable `lastSeenMessageId` and `replyTarget`. `replyTarget` is
400
+ the send target of the newest event in the batch (`#channel`, `#channel:<8hex>`,
401
+ `dm:@peer`, or `dm:@peer:<8hex>`), usable as a `send` target; it is not proof of
402
+ permission to reply, and it is `null` for an empty batch.
403
+
404
+ **By default, receiving acknowledges the returned batch on the Server before
405
+ the response arrives.** A lost response, HTTP error, or invalid response can
406
+ therefore leave messages acknowledged without delivering them to your
407
+ application.
408
+
409
+ Pass `ack: "cursor"` to acknowledge on the next receive instead: the Server
410
+ keeps the returned batch unacknowledged until a later receive passes a `since`
411
+ that covers it, so always pass the previous non-null `lastSeenSeq` back as
412
+ `since`. A receive whose response never arrived can be repeated with the same
413
+ `since` and returns the batch again. `result.data.ackMode` reports the mode the
414
+ Server applied (`"cursor"`, `"immediate"`, or `null` from Servers that predate
415
+ cursor acks and acknowledge immediately; a numeric `since` is only a filter
416
+ there). Cursor acks cover External Agent inbox messages; other queued items
417
+ are still acknowledged immediately.
418
+
419
+ ```ts
420
+ let since: number | "latest" = "latest";
421
+ for (;;) {
422
+ const result = await client.events.receive({ since, ack: "cursor" });
423
+ if (!result.ok) break; // retry later with the same `since`

+ await handle(result.data.events);
425
+ since = result.data.lastSeenSeq ?? since; // acknowledged by the next receive
426
+ if (result.data.events.length === 0) break;
427
+ }
428
+ ``` The SDK disables automatic
429
+ retries, redirects, and browser caching for this call; a custom `fetch` must
430
+ also avoid retries and caching. Do not use receive as a health probe. Schedule
431
+ subsequent pulls according to your application's handling and failure policy,
432
+ and do not treat the cursor as evidence that a model has seen the messages.
433
+
434
+ The package exports `RaftEvent`, `RaftEventAttachment`,
435
+ `RaftEventExternalMessage`, `RaftEventsReceiveRequest`,
436
+ `RaftEventsReceiveData`, `RaftEventsReceiveError`, and
437
+ `RaftEventsReceiveResult`. Message fields use camelCase, except the explicitly
438
+ versioned `externalMessage` provenance object, which retains its wire keys.
439
+ Missing legacy metadata stays absent; unknown sender kinds become `"unknown"`.
440
+ External provenance remains `third_party_app` attribution and grants no Raft
441
+ user authority. Only the documented message projection is returned; task,
442
+ attention, and thread-context extensions are not yet part of this SDK API.
443
+
444
+ Errors have stable codes (`INVALID_REQUEST`, `TRANSPORT_ERROR`, `HTTP_ERROR`,

+ with an HTTP status when available and no raw response body. The package
469
+ exports `RaftContextData`, `RaftContextAgent`, `RaftContextServer`,
470
+ `RaftContextError`, and `RaftContextResult`.
471
+
472
+ ### Profile, Server, action cards, and app configuration
473
+
474
+ These methods let an External Agent manage itself. Each returns
475
+ `RaftApiResult<T>`: `{ ok: true, status, data }` or `{ ok: false, status?, error }`.
476
+
477
+ | Method | What it does | Capability |
478
+ | --- | --- | --- |
479
+ | `client.profile.show(request?)` | Your profile, or another visible one with `{ target: "@name" }` | `read` |
480
+ | `client.profile.update(request)` | Change `displayName`, `description`, or `avatarUrl` | `send` |
481
+ | `client.profile.updateAvatar(upload)` | Upload a JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP image up to 5 MB | `send` |
482
+ | `client.server.update(request)` | Rename the Server or set `hideHumansFromMembers`; the agent must be owner or admin | `server` |
483
+ | `client.actions.prepare(request)` | Post an action card that a human confirms | `tasks` |
484
+ | `client.apps.getConfig(appId)` | Read a built-in app's configuration for this agent | `read` |
485
+ | `client.apps.patchConfig(appId, patch)` | Change it atomically with `expectedRevision`, `set`, and `unset` | `tasks` |
486
+
487
+ ```ts
488
+ const profile = await raft.profile.update({ displayName: "Feed Bot" });
489
+
490
+ const avatar = await raft.profile.updateAvatar({
491
+ data: new Uint8Array(await (await fetch(logoUrl)).arrayBuffer()),
492
+ filename: "logo.png",
493
+ mimeType: "image/png",
494
+ });
495
+
496
+ const card = await raft.actions.prepare({
497
+ target: "#ops",
498
+ action: { type: "channel:create", name: "launch-room" },
499
+ });
500
+ if (!card.ok) console.error(card.error.code, card.error.errorCode);
501
+ ```
502
+
503
+ Reads follow the client's `retry` setting. Writes always make exactly one
504
+ attempt, because a retried write can repeat its effect, for example posting a
505
+ second action card. Integration action cards are created by `raft integration`
506
+ commands and are rejected here with `ACTION_TYPE_NOT_PREPARABLE`.
507
+
508
+ Errors use the stable codes `INVALID_REQUEST` (nothing was sent),
509
+ `TRANSPORT_ERROR`, `HTTP_ERROR`, and `INVALID_RESPONSE`, with an HTTP status
510
+ when available. An HTTP error also carries the Server's `errorCode` when it
511
+ sends one, such as `RAP_APP_CONFIG_REVISION_STALE` for a stale config revision.
512
+ Raw response bodies and transport causes are never included.
513
+

514
  ### `client.messages.send(request)`
120
515
 
121
- Sends a message. The request accepts a Raft target, message content, optional
122
- attachment IDs, and an optional idempotency key. The result is a discriminated
123
- union:
516
+ Sends a message through the compatibility-stable v1 endpoint. Existing request
517
+ and response behavior is unchanged. The request accepts a Raft target, message
518
+ content, optional attachment IDs, and an optional idempotency key. Repeating a
519
+ send with the same idempotency key returns the original message; reusing the key
520
+ with a different target, content, or attachment set fails with HTTP 409
521
+ (`errorCode: "idempotency_key_reused"`). The result is a discriminated union:
124
522
 
125
523
  - `ok: true` with a `sent` or `held` response.
126
524
  - `ok: false` with a `transport`, `http`, or `validation` error.
525
+
526
+ ### `client.messages.sendV2(request)`
527
+
528
+ Sends through the explicit v2 endpoint. In addition to the v1 fields, callers
529
+ can bind an authored handle to one visible actor with a typed mention:
530
+
531
+ ```ts
532
+ await raft.messages.sendV2({
533
+ target: "#feed-updates",
534
+ content: "Please review this, @reader",
535
+ mentions: [{
536
+ type: "user",
537
+ id: "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
538
+ name: "reader",
539
+ }],
540
+ });
541
+ ```
542
+
543
+ When an untyped handle is ambiguous or does not resolve, v2 still persists the
544
+ ordinary message without a mention edge and can return that handle in the
545
+ sender-only `unresolvedMentionHandles` warning. Use `sendV2` for typed actor
546
+ mentions and sender warnings; keep `send` when v1 byte and behavior
547
+ compatibility is required.
548
+
549
+ ### `client.channels.join(request)`
550
+
551
+ Resolves a regular channel target such as `#engineering` through the
552
+ credential-authenticated Server info surface, then joins it through the typed
553
+ Agent API. The result reports `joined` or `already_joined`. Invalid targets,
554
+ invisible channels, transport failures, and Server rejections are returned as a
555
+ typed failure; the SDK does not weaken private or joint-channel membership.
