Joining a team took two invites: the rt team invite, then a board peering invite the owner hand-minted in the board UI mid-onboarding. The one-invite path existed but was dead code twice over: rt team join POSTed /peer/join, a route the switchboard never grew, and the fallback design (admin token from team secrets) can never serve a FIRST join because the joiner's age key only becomes a recipient after members sync.

  • mintInvite now pre-registers the invitee's board on the switchboard (POST /boards, the real admin route) and seals { url, token } into the invite pointer; the pointer only ever travels as ciphertext. Any failure degrades to a normal invite plus a warning naming the board-panel re-invite repair.
  • joinRedeem stores an embedded token as the local rt-domain switchboardToken secret (which the board already reads through the daemon's secrets scope) and reports peering applied; without one it falls back to the admin-token path, now aimed at POST /boards and actually capturing the token, which serves re-joins by already-synced members.
  • Roster reads (team status, the members-remove picker and entry lookup) cut over to mattstack.roster, the key board and boxscore already read; board.members stays as the legacy fallback and writers keep dual-writing.

No switchboard or board changes; the endpoint already existed. Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-18-one-invite-board-peering-design.md. Full unit + e2e suite green locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Team invitations can now include board-peering information, allowing recipients to connect without additional team-secret access.
    • Successful team joins automatically save the board connection token locally.
    • Team status and member management now use the newer roster when available, with compatibility fallback to existing membership data.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invitations continue to be created when board registration is unavailable, with warnings provided instead of failing.
    • Improved handling and reporting when peering tokens are missing, invalid, or cannot be saved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds preferred roster handling and implements switchboard token exchange during invite creation and team joining. It stores peering tokens locally, preserves invite creation when peering fails, and updates roster compatibility tests.

Changes

Team roster and board peering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preferred roster reads and removal
lib/team/members.ts, commands/team.ts, lib/team/__tests__/members.test.ts, commands/__tests__/team-status.test.ts, docs/superpowers/specs/...
mattstack.roster is preferred over board.members, with fallback support. Member removal updates both roster keys.
Invite switchboard token minting
lib/setup/intent.ts, lib/team/invite.ts, lib/team/__tests__/invite.test.ts, docs/superpowers/specs/...
Invite minting registers invitees through /boards, embeds returned switchboard credentials, and continues without peering when registration cannot complete.
Join-time token storage and recovery
lib/team/join.ts, lib/setup/steps/team.ts, lib/team/__tests__/join.test.ts, commands/__tests__/team-join.test.ts
Join redemption stores embedded or newly returned tokens as switchboardToken. Peering failures leave joining successful and report recovery guidance.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 715c2

Joining a team can disclose switchboard credentials, and removing a member may leave secret access intact. These security issues should be fixed before merge.

mintInvite pre-registers the invitee's board on the switchboard (POST
/boards, the admin route that already existed) and seals { url, token }
into the encrypted invite pointer; joinRedeem stores it as the local
rt-domain switchboardToken secret and reports peering applied. The old
/peer/join call targeted a route the switchboard never had, and the
admin-token-from-team-secrets fallback can never serve a first join
(the joiner's age key becomes a recipient only after members sync); it
remains, aimed at the real route, for re-joins by synced members.
Roster reads cut over to mattstack.roster with board.members as the
legacy fallback.

In `@lib/team/invite.ts`:
- Line 243: Update the optional peering flow around
readLocalSecret("switchboardAdminToken") so its rejection is caught within the
invite path; set embedFailure, emit a warning, and continue minting the invite
without embedded peering instead of propagating the error.

In `@lib/team/join.ts`:
- Around line 453-461: The joinRedeem flow around switchboardToken must
normalize and compare pointer.switchboard.url with the current snapshot
switchboard URL before storing the token. Only write the token and set peering
to applied when the normalized URLs match; otherwise keep peering unavailable
and emit a warning, while treating trailing-slash-only differences as equal.
- Line 453: Update the join flow around readUserIntegrationOverrides and the
switchboardUrl assignment to obtain the confirmed switchboardUrl alongside
forgeHost, then use only that confirmed value for the admin-token fallback. Do
not use pointer.switchboard?.url in this fallback; retain pointer values only
for embedded-token handling.
- Around line 465-467: Update the switchboardUrl branch in joinRedeem so the
optional readTeamSecret call cannot reject the join: initialize adminToken as
null, catch read failures, warn with the error details, and continue through the
existing branch so the result remains access: "ok" with peering: "unavailable".

In `@lib/team/members.ts`:
- Around line 359-361: Update membersRemove to collect every distinct valid
agePublicKey for the removed handle from bothRosters, rather than selecting only
one existingEntry. Remove all matching roster rows and call removeTeamRecipient
for each collected key, preserving support for partial dual-write states during
re-join.

Do not apply an embedded token for a different switchboard.

lib/team/invite.ts registers the board at pointer.switchboard.url and seals that URL with the returned per-board token. joinRedeem then stores the token and reports peering: "applied" without checking the current snapshot URL. If both URLs differ after normalization, the board can use a token issued by a different switchboard. Leave peering unavailable and warn when the normalized URLs differ. A trailing-slash difference alone must not reject the token.

…lures, revoke every recorded key

The invite-supplied pointer url never receives the admin token and its
token is refused for any switchboard but the team's declared one; every
peering and embed failure stays inside the optional path; membersRemove
revokes each distinct key recorded for the handle across both rosters;
team status matches preferredRoster's array-guarded fallback.
