Expand description

Multi-session wire on one machine (v0.5.16).

Problem: multiple Claude Code (or any agent harness) sessions on the same machine share a single WIRE_HOME, which means they share the same DID, same relay slot, same inbox JSONL, and same daemon. Peers have no way to address a specific session, and the operator can’t tell which session sent what.

Solution: a wire session subcommand that bootstraps isolated per-session WIRE_HOME trees. Each session gets its own identity, handle, relay slot, daemon, and inbox/outbox. Sessions pair with each other through the public relay (wireup.net) like any other peer — no protocol changes. The bilateral-pair gate from v0.5.14 still applies in both directions.

Storage layout:

~/.local/state/wire/sessions/
  registry.json                — cwd → session_name map
  <session-name>/               — full WIRE_HOME tree per session
    config/wire/...
    state/wire/...

Naming: derived from basename(cwd) so re-opening the same project reuses the same session identity. Collisions across two different paths with the same basename get a 4-char SHA-256 path-hash suffix.

Structs§

FederationOnlySessionView
Sessions with no Local endpoint — shown separately so the operator knows they exist but are federation-only.
LocalEndpointView
Stripped view of a Local endpoint for tooling output. Drops slot_token because it is a bearer credential — exposing it through wire session list-local --json would risk accidental leak via logs, screenshots, or piped output. Routing code uses the full Endpoint from relay-state.json directly; this type is for human/JSON observation only.
LocalSessionListing
Result shape for wire session list-local. local is grouped by the local-relay URL so output can render each cluster of mutually- reachable sister sessions together. federation_only lists the rest.
LocalSessionView
One row of wire session list-local output: a session that has a Local-scope endpoint plus metadata to render it.
SessionInfo
Summary of one on-disk session for wire session list.
SessionRegistry

Functions§

derive_name_from_cwd
Derive a stable session name for the given cwd. Resolution order:
list_local_sessions
Build the listing for wire session list-local from current on-disk state. Read-only; no daemon contact, no relay probe.
list_sessions
Enumerate every on-disk session by reading sessions_root(). Cross- references the registry so each entry’s cwd is filled in when known.
read_registry
read_session_endpoints
Read a session’s relay-state.json and return its self.endpoints[] array (v0.5.17 dual-slot). Empty Vec on any read/parse error — this is a best-effort discovery helper, not a verification tool. A pre- v0.5.17 session writes only the legacy flat fields; self_endpoints promotes those to a federation-only Endpoint, so the result is still meaningful for legacy sessions.
registry_path
Registry tracks cwd → session_name so repeated wire session new from the same project reuses the same identity instead of creating a fresh one each time. Lives at <sessions_root>/registry.json.
sanitize_name
Sanitize an arbitrary string to a session-name-safe form: lowercase ASCII alphanumeric + - + _, replace other chars with -, dedupe consecutive dashes, trim leading/trailing dashes, max 32 chars.
session_dir
Full filesystem path for the named session’s WIRE_HOME root. Inside this dir the standard wire layout applies: config/wire/... and state/wire/....
sessions_root
Root directory under which all session WIRE_HOMEs live.
write_registry
