refactor(server,relay): webhook capabilities live in services, not handlers

[juliusmarminge]

Macroscope's Effect Service Conventions check flagged four places in the webhook stack where handler or free-function code did a capability's work instead of a service method. All four are already on main from #15487. This PR moves each one behind a service, so its transport only authorizes, calls one method, and maps errors.

Server

• RelayDeliveryProof service replaces the makeRelayDeliveryVerifier factory. The webhook route calls verify.
• CloudPreferences service owns saving T3 Connect preferences (see below). The /connect/preferences handler calls update and returns the link state as before.

Relay

• HeldHooks service owns endpoint resolution (formerly HookForwarder.resolveHookEndpoint), opting in or out of held webhooks, and waking them. HookForwarder and the updateLinkPreferences / wakeHeldHooks handlers call it.

Webhook behavior doesn't change. Saving T3 Connect preferences does, because review turned up failure cases that were already on main:

• The update is all or nothing. The activity setting is saved first. If the hold change then fails, the activity setting is put back, and the relay too if only the local save failed.
• If a current setting can't be read, the request fails before anything is written, instead of guessing a value to roll back to.
• Overlapping updates run one at a time.
• A failed rollback is logged as a warning.

New tests cover each of these:

• CloudPreferences: every failure ordering above, plus the lock. Each test fails against the old code.
• HeldHooks: opting out clears only the caller's own endpoints, opting in keeps what's held, and wake skips endpoints that aren't ready.

Stacked on #15907.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production refactor introduces shared webhook and cloud-preference services across the server and relay, while changing preference update ordering, rollback, and concurrency behavior. Although focused tests cover the new paths, the cross-component runtime impact is broad enough to warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds services for cloud preference updates, held webhook management, and relay delivery-proof verification. It wires these services into the cloud and relay APIs. It also replaces the local secret-request error helper with direct error construction.

Changes

Held-hook Preference Flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cloud preference update and API wiring apps/server/src/cloud/CloudPreferences.ts, apps/server/src/cloud/CloudPreferences.test.ts, apps/server/src/cloud/config.ts, apps/server/src/cloud/http.ts, apps/server/src/relay/HeldHooksWaker.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts	CloudPreferences reads prior settings, saves the activity setting first, and synchronizes a supplied webhook-hold setting with the relay before saving it locally. It attempts to restore prior values after failures. The cloud route delegates updates to the service.
HeldHooks service and runtime infra/relay/src/hooks/HeldHooks.ts, infra/relay/src/hooks/HeldHooks.test.ts, infra/relay/src/worker.ts	HeldHooks resolves managed endpoints and handles hold-setting updates, inbox clearing, and waking held hooks. Tests cover endpoint ownership and wake behavior. The worker runtime provides the service layer.
Relay API and hook-forwarder integration infra/relay/src/http/Api.ts, infra/relay/src/http/Api.test.ts, infra/relay/src/hooks/HookForwarder.ts, infra/relay/src/hooks/HookForwarder.test.ts	The relay API delegates preference and wake operations to HeldHooks. The hook forwarder uses HeldHooks to resolve endpoints and signs proofs with captured configuration.

Relay Delivery Proof Service

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Verification service and route wiring apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/RelayDeliveryProof.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/webhookRoute.ts, apps/server/src/scheduledTasks/webhookRoute.test.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts	The verifier factory is replaced by a Context service and layer. The webhook route and its tests use that service.

Secret Request Error Construction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Direct error construction in request flows apps/server/src/secrets/SecretRequests.ts	The local error helper is removed. The answer and consumeRef paths construct errors directly while retaining their existing failure outcomes and cleanup behavior.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)

apps/server/src/cloud/CloudPreferences.ts (1)

77-101: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Compensation logic is sound; one doc mismatch remains.

The activity setting is saved first. If the relay push fails, the outer tapError restores the previous activity value. If the local hold save fails, the inner tapError restores the relay and the outer one restores the activity secret. This closes the earlier flagged gap.

The service docstring at Lines 33-35 says only that the relay value is "put back if the local save fails". It no longer mentions that the activity setting is also restored. Update the docstring to describe both rollbacks.

Rollback failures are ignored with Effect.ignore. This is acceptable for best-effort compensation. A failed rollback leaves a silent partial state, though. Consider logging the failure.

CodeRabbit nitpick on CloudPreferences, handled in a940f2c77c: the service docstring now describes both rollbacks, and a failed rollback is logged as a warning instead of ignored.
