Research direction

Edit docs/internals/t3-connect.md lines 7–8. First compare the path with RELAY_HOOK_PATH in packages/contracts/src/relay.ts and the URL builder in apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts; describe the managed tunnel endpoint key rather than the environment ID. Done when the documented path and identifier match the implementation; the relay and server tests are useful checks but should pass unchanged.

Steps to reproduce

Summary: docs/internals/t3-connect.md says the relay forwards /v1/hooks/:environmentId/:hookId/:token to the environment's tunnel. The relay route and the server's URL builder both use a managed-tunnel endpoint key in that segment, not the environment ID, and the relay answers 404 hook_not_found when the environment ID is placed there. A reader who builds or debugs a relay webhook URL from this doc uses the wrong identifier and puts the environment ID into a URL that the code deliberately keeps it out of. The defect is limited to the documentation; webhook URLs the server hands out are correct.

  1. On main, read docs/internals/t3-connect.md lines 7-8: "the relay forwards /v1/hooks/:environmentId/:hookId/:token to the environment's tunnel".
  2. Compare with the route the relay serves: packages/contracts/src/relay.ts line 1245 defines const RELAY_HOOK_PATH = "/v1/hooks/:endpointKey/:hookId/:token";.
  3. Compare with the server's URL builder: relayHookBaseUrl in apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts (about lines 80-95) builds ${relayUrl}/v1/hooks/${endpointKey}, where endpointKey is the last - segment of the managed tunnel name and must match /^[0-9a-f]{16}$/.
  4. Run the relay forwarder tests: cd infra/relay && npx vp test run src/hooks/HookForwarder.test.ts. The case "returns 404 for unknown endpoints and unready endpoints" sends POST /v1/hooks/<environmentId>/hook-1/token and expects 404 {"error":"hook_not_found"}.
  5. Run the server webhook tests: cd apps/server && npx vp test run src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.webhook.test.ts. The case "builds the relay hook URL from the managed tunnel's key, never the environment id" expects https://relay.example.com/v1/hooks/0123456789abcdef for a tunnel name ending in -0123456789abcdef.
Expected behavior

The T3 Connect internals doc should name the identifier the relay actually routes on: the managed endpoint key, the 16-hex hash suffix of the environment's managed tunnel name. The code states this design in infra/relay/src/deploymentConfig.ts: the key "covers user and environment, so one key names exactly one link, unlike the environment id, which any account can claim". relayHookBaseUrl's doc comment adds that "the URL never reveals the environment id".

Actual behavior

The doc names :environmentId as the first path parameter. Following it produces a URL the relay rejects: in a local run on main, HookForwarder.test.ts passed 26/26, including the case that confirms a request with the environment ID in the key slot gets 404 hook_not_found and is not forwarded. ScheduledTaskService.webhook.test.ts passed 32/32, including the case that confirms the server builds hook URLs from the tunnel key. On a running Nightly server (observation reported to me, not rerun for this report), a webhook task created with schedule_task returned a webhookUrl of the shape https://relay.t3.codes/v1/hooks/<16-hex key>/<url-encoded task id>/<token>; the 16-hex segment is not the environment ID, which is a UUID.

History: #15086 added the sentence when the route really was /v1/hooks/:environmentId/:hookId/:token. #15487 (commit f33b060caf) changed RELAY_HOOK_PATH to :endpointKey and rewrote the same doc sentence in the same commit, but kept :environmentId.

Evidence
  • Expected source: packages/contracts/src/relay.ts line 1245 (RELAY_HOOK_PATH), relayHookBaseUrl in apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/ScheduledTaskService.ts, resolveEndpoint in infra/relay/src/hooks/HeldHooks.ts, and the MANAGED_ENDPOINT_KEY_PATTERN comment in infra/relay/src/deploymentConfig.ts.
  • Failure source: docs/internals/t3-connect.md lines 7-8.
  • Evidence provenance: observed
  • Local verification: reproduced
  • Reproduction completeness: complete

Primary violation evidence (observed): the :environmentId path in docs/internals/t3-connect.md lines 7-8, read on main against RELAY_HOOK_PATH, and the relay's 404 hook_not_found for an environment ID in that position in HookForwarder.test.ts, run locally. Both test suites are the project's own in-process harnesses, not a deployed relay. The live webhookUrl shape comes from the reported Nightly observation; no real key, token, task ID, or environment ID is included here.

Restoration check

Failing: docs/internals/t3-connect.md describes the relay hook path with :environmentId as its first parameter, which disagrees with RELAY_HOOK_PATH and with the 404 the relay returns for an environment ID in that position. Passing: the doc's hook path matches RELAY_HOOK_PATH (/v1/hooks/:endpointKey/:hookId/:token) and identifies the endpoint key as the managed tunnel's key rather than the environment ID, while the forwarder and webhook test suites above still pass unchanged.

Impact

Minor bug or occasional failure

Only an internals document is wrong; the relay, the server's URL builder, and the URLs handed to users agree with each other, so product behavior is unaffected. Following the doc gives a 404 hook_not_found for a hand-built URL and exposes an environment ID in a URL the design keeps it out of.

Version or commit

main @ 300f7f9d45ff19c01bc987dbf1c3bc3e9a3a59ee; also present in the latest nightly v0.0.46-nightly.20261007.2787. The latest stable release v0.0.45 predates relay webhook forwarding (neither #15086 nor #15487 is in it), so it is not affected.

Environment

Source inspection plus the repo's own tests: Node 22.23.2, vp test run (Vitest 5.0.1) after pnpm install --frozen-lockfile. Reported runtime observation: T3 Code Nightly 0.0.46-nightly.20261007.2774 server on macOS arm64.

Workaround

Use the webhookUrl the server returns for a webhook task, or read RELAY_HOOK_PATH in packages/contracts/src/relay.ts; both give the correct endpoint-key path.
