The engine has no plans, usage quotas or billing. Admission and metering are host concerns, exposed through AdmissionHooks; self-host passes none and every workspace is admitted.

Admission hooks

EngineDeps.admission (also createNodeRuntime({ admission }) and startServer({ admission })):

interface AdmissionHooks {
  admit?(ctx: { workspace; action: 'request' | 'message' }): Promise<AdmissionDenial | null | undefined>;
  committed?(ctx): Promise<void>;                       // 2xx, never an idempotent replay
  rateLimitPerMinute?(workspace): Promise<number>;      // per-workspace ceiling override
}
interface AdmissionDenial { status; code; message; details?; retryAt? }
  • request is checked in rateLimit after the per-minute bucket, so throttled requests never reach the host. message is checked on channel posts, DMs, group DMs and thread replies.
  • A denial renders as { ok: false, error: { code, message, ...details } } with its status. Retry-After/X-RateLimit-Reset are set only when retryAt is given.
  • A denied message send that has an Idempotency-Key still replays its stored receipt. Only a fresh send is refused, and that refusal leaves no idempotency lock behind.
  • committed runs through runInBackground (waitUntil on Workers).
  • A hook that throws admits the request. A failing rateLimitPerMinute falls back to EngineConfig.rateLimitPerMinute (default 30,000).

Plans out of the engine

  • EntitlementsProvider, StaticEntitlementsProvider, PLAN_LIMITS, the plan-limit and message-allowance middleware, usageTracker, and the usage:* KV counter helpers no longer exist.
  • Migration 0077_drop_workspace_plan.sql drops workspaces.plan. Workspace.plan is no longer in the API, OpenAPI, @relaycast/types, or the Rust and Swift SDK models.
  • WorkspaceDeliveryPolicyConfig.resolve receives { id }.
  • Self-hosted workspaces are never quota-limited, so Self-host workspace creation persists free plan and eventually exhausts API quota #432 (self-host workspaces hitting free quotas through the schema default) cannot occur.

Release and downstream

Major bump for engine/types/Swift (a public field, an error code and exports are removed); the Rust SDK change goes into its pending 10.0.0. relaycast-cloud must move its tier table (PLAN_LIMITS, the workspace-plan: override, trial allowance, api-call metering, upgrade guidance) behind AdmissionHooks. It must also copy workspaces.plan into its own storage before applying engine migration 0077; its fleet/routes.ts writes that column directly today.

Supersedes #484. Fixes #432.

The engine has no plans, usage quotas or billing. Hosts admit and meter
requests and message sends through AdmissionHooks (admit, committed,
rateLimitPerMinute); self-host passes none. Migration 0077 drops
workspaces.plan, and Workspace.plan leaves the API, types, and the Rust
and Swift SDKs.

Fixes #432.

Walkthrough

The engine replaces built-in plan entitlements and usage quotas with host admission hooks and a configurable request-rate ceiling. It removes workspace plan data from storage and public schemas, updates SDK models, and adds migration and conformance coverage.

Changes: Engine admission and plan removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Admission contract and request throttling
packages/engine/src/ports/*, packages/engine/src/adapters/node/index.ts, packages/engine/src/entrypoints/node.ts, packages/engine/src/middleware/rateLimit.ts, packages/engine/src/engine.ts, packages/engine/src/__tests__/conformance/*, README.md, openapi.yaml, packages/engine/CHANGELOG.md
Admission hooks replace the entitlements provider in engine configuration and runtime wiring. Request throttling uses a configurable per-workspace ceiling, defaulting to 30,000 per minute, with a host-provided override.
Message admission and commit reporting
packages/engine/src/middleware/admission.ts, packages/engine/src/routes/{dm,groupDm,message,thread}.ts, packages/engine/src/env.ts, packages/engine/src/lib/*, packages/engine/src/__tests__/conformance/admissionHooks.test.ts, README.md, openapi.yaml
Message routes use admission checks. Denials can include host-provided fields and retry times; keyed requests preserve earlier successful idempotent replays. Successful non-replayed actions are reported to the host.
Remove built-in quotas and migrate storage
packages/engine/src/engine/usage.ts, packages/engine/src/middleware/{planLimits,usageTracker}.ts, packages/engine/src/ports/entitlements.ts, packages/engine/src/providers/*, packages/engine/src/db/*, packages/engine/src/lib/planLimitError.ts, packages/engine/src/__tests__/*, docs/self-hosting.md, packages/engine/CHANGELOG.md
Plan-based limits, usage-counter helpers, and related middleware and providers are removed. Migration 0077 drops workspaces.plan; migration checks and quota-related tests and documentation are updated.
Remove plan fields from workspace contracts
packages/engine/src/engine/{workspace,workspaceDeliveryPolicy}.ts, openapi.yaml, packages/types/*, packages/sdk-rust/*, packages/sdk-swift/*, packages/mcp/src/__tests__/*, packages/engine/test/types/*, packages/engine/CHANGELOG.md
Workspace responses and Rust, Swift, and TypeScript workspace models no longer include plan. Workspace delivery-policy resolvers receive only the workspace ID, and affected fixtures and changelogs are updated.

Explanation

Issue #432 requires that self-hosted workspaces do not hit engine-managed plan quotas and that a host can apply tiered policy when needed. The PR removes the persisted workspaces.plan field, plan-limit middleware, usage tracking, usage KV helpers, and the plan_limit_exceeded response. Without AdmissionHooks, the engine admits requests and messages. With hooks, an embedding host can apply admission and rate-limit policy. The PR adds conformance coverage for default self-host admission, denials, committed callbacks, idempotency, hook failures, throttling order, and workspace rate limits. This removes the reported self-host free quota path. Existing free rows do not require repair for quota behavior because migration 0077 removes the column and the engine no longer reads plan quotas.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to issue #432 and its plan-quota failure. Migration 0077, admission hooks, rate-limit changes, API and OpenAPI changes, SDK model updates, documentation, and tests implement or expose the replacement for engine-managed plans and quotas. The WorkspaceDeliveryPolicyConfig.resolve signature change removes its dependency on the deleted plan field. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 56.52% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 23 functions across 36 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Old plans and counters leave the scene,
Rate limits hold at thirty thousand keen.
A saved send can replay its trail,

[High impact] The PR appears safe to merge, with no new actionable issues found.

Summary

Replaces engine-owned plans and quotas with optional host admission hooks.

  • Hosts can decide which requests and message sends the engine accepts.
  • Workspace plans and built-in usage quotas are removed from engine storage and public contracts.

Both earlier unnumbered findings are addressed: denials without retryAt clear inherited retry headers, and invalid configured ceilings fall back to 30,000.

A denial without retryAt withdraws the per-minute X-RateLimit-Reset that
rateLimit set, and a non-positive or non-finite rateLimitPerMinute falls
back to the default.

Nothing in the engine calls it now that usage counters are host-owned.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A throttled request no longer reaches the host's admit hook, so a flood
is absorbed by the per-minute bucket instead of the host's metering.
