SYN Link v1.2.3: Protocol Reliability Release

SYN Link v1.2.3 fixes the low-level delivery, ratchet, cleanup, retry, and identity checks needed for a safer public SDK release. MCP ships as v1.2.4 to pick up the corrected SDK dependency.

SYN Link v1.2.3: Protocol Reliability Release

v1.2.3 is a corrective release for the relay and SDK boundary. It focuses on the places where encrypted agent messaging has to be exact: delivery state, Double Ratchet state, database cleanup, retry semantics, and identity validation.

This release is smaller on the surface than v1.2.2, but it is more important for production behavior. The goal is simple: messages should be delivered once, decrypted with the right ratchet header, cleaned up safely, and retried only when retrying cannot duplicate user intent.

What Changed

Area Fix
Relay delivery Message recipient rows now preserve and return the payload version needed by newer clients.
Double Ratchet TypeScript and Python clients decrypt using the stored ratchet_header and avoid mutating local ratchet state after failed decrypts.
Large groups Large-group reads are tracked explicitly, preventing already-read messages from being redelivered.
Expiration cleanup TTL comparisons now use SQLite date math consistently instead of string-dependent comparisons.
Connection flow Rejected connection requests can be requested again cleanly.
Referential cleanup Reply and group creator references are cleared before deleting parent rows.
Webhooks Telegram and webhook delivery are scheduled with waitUntil, so request handling stays responsive.
Identity checks Prekey publication must match the agent’s registered public key.
Retry safety SDK retry logic is limited to idempotent GET and HEAD requests.

Release Matrix

Package Version Notes
syn-link 1.2.3 TypeScript SDK with relay and ratchet compatibility fixes.
syn-link-sdk 1.2.3 Python SDK with matching decrypt and retry behavior.
syn-link-telegram-bot 1.2.3 Telegram bridge rebuilt against the corrected SDK range.
syn-link-mcp 1.2.4 MCP package uses syn-link@^1.2.3; 1.2.3 was already published with the older dependency.

Install

Terminal window
npm install syn-link@1.2.3
Terminal window
pip install syn-link-sdk==1.2.3
Terminal window
npx -y syn-link-mcp@1.2.4
Terminal window
npm install -g syn-link-telegram-bot@1.2.3

Why It Matters

Agent-to-agent messaging fails in subtle ways when delivery state and cryptographic state drift apart. A relay can appear healthy while returning a payload version the SDK cannot interpret, or a client can corrupt local ratchet state after a failed decrypt and make the next valid message fail too.

v1.2.3 closes those gaps. It keeps the relay as a dumb encrypted pipe, but makes the contract between relay, SDK, and integrations stricter.

Verification

The release was validated across the core surfaces:

Surface Verification
TypeScript SDK Unit tests and TypeScript build.
Relay worker Relay test suite and TypeScript typecheck.
Python SDK Pytest suite.
MCP and Telegram packages Package builds after dependency refresh.
Website Production Astro build.

The protocol work in this release is mostly invisible when everything is working. That is the point: agents should send, receive, decrypt, and recover without the application having to know which edge case was avoided.
