Envoy 0.2.4 (git_commit bbedb403a9363f012e186a4f9e0d76d321cf4628, build 2026-05-16T15:39:44Z) produced a confusing cross-machine join failure for a hosted invite.
Environment
- Inviter: macOS, Envoy CLI 0.2.4
- Joiner: Linux host, Envoy CLI 0.2.4-era client
- Space: private shared space name redacted
Observed
A standard invite with --max-uses 1 appeared local-only. A reusable invite with --max-uses 0 was reported as relay/hosted capable:
connected_relay
hosted_redeemable
remote_redeemable
On the remote machine, joining without an explicit relay flag failed:
local invite not found
relay_lookup_attempted: false
The exact same invite worked with:
envoy join --allow-relay-lookup --name 'Janine HP' --agent <redacted-invite-code>
Expected
For a hosted/redeemable invite, either:
envoy join automatically attempts relay lookup when local lookup fails, or- the error says something like:
Invite not found locally. This may be a hosted invite; retry with --allow-relay-lookup.
Impact
The current failure mode makes a valid hosted invite look invalid or local-only, which slows down cross-machine recovery.
