Symptom (#887): a coalesced webhook batch with several assigned objects seeded the ownership claim, the lease and the spawn log for the newest object only. The earlier objects stayed unclaimed until the model repaired it.

What changes

  • webhook-spawn.sh reads an optional LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_METAS array (one meta per surviving event). The claim is the de-duplicated union of each event's own claim; the note lists every object.
  • The lease and the spawn log gain an objects array (object stays the newest number, so readers keep working). recentHookSessions shows them.
  • No array, or an unusable one (not JSON, not an array of objects, empty, over 100): the single LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_META, byte-identical to before. A batch of one is unchanged.
  • The receiver does not export the array yet: asked upstream in Export every surviving event's meta for a coalesced batch (LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_METAS) local-channels#101. Until the pin moves, this is inert.

Not in this PR (so #887 stays open)

  • The mechanism upstream (above), then a pin bump.
  • A per-object disposition that survives agent-box-session rm (the partial-completion case in the 2026-10-23 comment). rm still clears the lease unconditionally; fixing that needs a design choice (disposition file vs refusing rm with unresolved objects, or splitting batches).

Checks

module-generated-up-to-date, golden-snapshot, webhook-spawn-claim (new cases: 4-object batch with a duplicate, number+sha mix, four unusable METAS inputs, lease and log contents), one-spec-both-backends on aarch64. Regenerated module and golden payloads.

Refs #887.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The dispatcher exports only the newest event's meta, so a batch holding
several assignments seeded a claim, lease and spawn-log entry for the last
object alone (#887).

agent-box-webhook-spawn now reads an optional LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_METAS
array (one meta per surviving event; upstream ask: local-channels#101),
claims the union of the objects, names them all in the note, and records
an `objects` list in the lease and the spawn log. Without the variable, or
with an unusable one, the single meta behaves exactly as before.

Not done here: per-object disposition that survives `rm` (the second
comment on #887) and split-before-spawn; both need a design decision.

📝 Walkthrough

Webhook-spawned sessions now process coalesced event metadata, combine claims across events, and include the batch’s object identifiers in lease and spawn-log records. Invalid or oversized metadata batches fall back to the single metadata object.

Changes: Webhook batch spawning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record batch objects
modules/src/lib/lease.sh, modules/agent-box.nix, tests/golden/**/payloads/*
Lease and spawn-log functions accept an optional objects array. Records store that array when it is valid JSON of array type, or [] otherwise.
Build claims from batch metadata
modules/src/webhook-spawn.sh, modules/agent-box.nix, tests/golden/web/payloads/agent-box-webhook-spawn/bin/agent-box-webhook-spawn
The spawner accepts a nonempty array of up to 100 metadata objects. It combines and deduplicates event claims and object identifiers. Claim functions now receive metadata as an argument.
Pass batch data through seed and spawn logging
modules/src/webhook-spawn.sh, modules/agent-box.nix, tests/golden/web/payloads/agent-box-webhook-spawn/bin/agent-box-webhook-spawn, tests/test-webhook-spawn-claim.sh
The seed note uses the newest event’s metadata and lists multiple claimed objects. Lease creation and successful-spawn logging receive the full object list. Tests cover batch claims and fallback to single metadata.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ae609

Batch handling has two narrow gaps: malformed batch input can lose tracking, and a batch note can omit a claimed object. These should be fixed before enabling the upstream batch feed; the current change has low merge-readiness risk.

- Around line 778-780: Update the condition that appends objects to note so it
also lists an object when a multi-event batch contains an identified object
absent from the newest event’s note, even if objects has only one entry.
Preserve the existing behavior for batches with multiple objects.
- Around line 733-736: Update the batch metadata normalization in the JQ
invocation to slurp stdin and accept input only when it contains exactly one
valid batch array that meets the existing size and object checks; otherwise use
the LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_META fallback. Ensure empty or whitespace-only input and
multiple JSON values cannot produce missing or multiple outputs.

Review findings on #919: whitespace-only or two-array LOCAL_WEBHOOK_SPAWN_METAS
bypassed the single-meta fallback, and an earlier object beside a newest event
that names none was claimed but not named in the note.

No. Coalescing is specific to github webhooks. We should spool events separately: events for one repo/pr/issue should not get combined with events for another repo/pr/issue. Of course, a session might be subscribed to multiple events, in which case events get delivered to the same session, but this relies on an explicit subscription. There's an optimization where we coalesce events from same PR or issue, but I'm not sure whether that's worth it. As it stands, the spool has very little overhead.
