Summary

Fixes #472.

Rejects @ in podName and memberName components during validateSessionComponents, while preserving @ allowance in rigName. Also updates docs/reference/rig-spec.md with the @ restriction and rationale.

Problem & Root Cause

Canonical session names are defined as {pod}-{member}@{rig}.
The canonical parser (parseSessionName) splits on the first @ to separate {pod}-{member} from {rig}:

const at = raw.indexOf("@");
if (at > 0 && at < raw.length - 1) {
  return { kind: "canonical", member: raw.slice(0, at), rig: raw.slice(at + 1) };
}

Previously, validateSessionComponents allowed @ across all three components. If a pod or member name contained @ (e.g., pod "pod@alias" with member "impl" on rig "my-rig"), the canonical name was formatted as "pod@alias-impl@my-rig". When parsed, indexOf("@") split at the pod's @, yielding:

member: "pod" (incorrect)
rig: "alias-impl@my-rig" (incorrect)

This corrupted queue destination gating, telemetry, and rig lookups.

Changes

packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts:
- Added opts?: { allowAt?: boolean } to validateSessionNameChars (default true for backwards compatibility). When allowAt: false, rejects @ with a descriptive message explaining that @ is reserved as a session separator.
- In validateSessionComponents, passed { allowAt: false } when validating podName and memberName.
packages/daemon/test/session-name.test.ts:
- Added unit test (Test 7) verifying that validateSessionComponents rejects @ in podName and memberName, passes @ in rigName, and checks validateSessionNameChars with { allowAt: false }.
docs/reference/rig-spec.md:
- Updated pod ID and member ID tables and rules to state that @ is prohibited in pod or member IDs because the canonical session address uses @ before the rig name ({pod}-{member}@{rig}). Rig names remain unchanged.

Verification

npx vitest run test/session-name.test.ts test/session-name-parity.test.ts: Passed (75/75 tests).
node scripts/check-docs-guard.mjs: Passed cleanly.
npm run lint: Passed without errors across all workspaces.
npm run test:repo: Passed (242/242 tests).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Pod and member names now reject the @ character, while rig names continue to allow it.
- Validation reports @ as a reserved separator when it appears in pod or member names. Other name validation behavior remains unchanged.
Documentation
- Rig and member IDs are documented as disallowing dots and @.
- Pod IDs must be unique across a rig; member IDs must be unique within their pod.

…arz#472) Pod and member names must not contain '@' because canonical session names are formatted as {pod}-{member}@{rig} and parseSessionName splits at the first '@' to separate member from rig. If pod or member contained '@', the canonical name would misparse, corrupting queue routing and rig identity. Reject '@' in pod and member components during validateSessionComponents while keeping '@' permitted in rig names (which consume the remainder).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Session name validation now rejects @ in pod and member names. Rig names continue to allow @. The rig specification documents these character rules and the existing ID uniqueness requirements.

Changes

Session name validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validate session name components `packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts`, `packages/daemon/test/session-name.test.ts`, `docs/reference/rig-spec.md`	`validateSessionNameChars` accepts an optional `allowAt` setting. Component validation disables `@` for pod and member names. Tests cover these rules and the unchanged rig-name behavior. The rig specification documents the restrictions and uniqueness rules.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 198f8

Attach and discovery-create requests can still accept member names containing @, causing the resulting session name to identify a different member and rig. Validate these inputs before merging.

Review details

Systems and components

observed — packages/daemon (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts: validateSessionNameChars adds the optional allowAt setting, which defaults to allowing @; when disabled, @ produces a reserved-session-separator error.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts: The documentation now states that pod and member names must exclude @ because parsing splits at the first separator.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts: validateSessionComponents now disables @ for pod and member validation; their existing empty-value checks remain, and other character validation still runs.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/daemon/test/session-name.test.ts: Added tests for @ handling: component validation reports pod- and member-name errors when those names contain @, accepts @ in a rig name, and character validation with allowAt: false reports the character as invalid.

packages/daemon/src/domain/session-name.ts:89-96
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject @ in pod and member inputs before creating a node.

validateSessionComponents rejects @ during spec launch, but the reachable attach and discovery-create requests accept it. For memberName: "worker@alias", the derived name becomes pod-worker@alias@rig. parseSessionName reads this as member pod-worker and rig alias@rig, so the canonical member/rig mapping is invalid. Apply the same component validation before addNode and session-name derivation in both request paths.
Suggested fix
+import { validateSessionComponents } from "./session-name.js";
     const memberName = opts.memberName.trim();
     if (!memberName) {
       return { ok: false, code: "invalid_member_name", error: "memberName is required" };
     }
+    const sessionNameErrors = validateSessionComponents(pod.namespace, memberName, rig.rig.name);
+    if (sessionNameErrors.length > 0) {
+      return { ok: false, code: "invalid_member_name", error: sessionNameErrors.join("; ") };
+    }

     const runtime = opts.runtime.trim();
Apply the same check in ClaimService.createAndBindToPod before constructing logicalId.
