DGR-042: Carry native frames through direct and existing relay seams

Status / triage: specification only; ready-for-agent; passes: false
Execution mode: AFK
Milestone: M2
Dependencies: DGR-024, DGR-040
Blocks (derived): DGR-054, DGR-058
Labels: area:meshnet, area:relay, area:grpc, type:integration, priority:p0, ready-for-agent
Evidence class: fixture
Hardware: none
Model: generic
Upstream: no

Objective / description

Fresh Ralph session: read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md, source issue .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/issues/042-carry-native-frames-through-direct-and-existing-relay-seams.md, and evidence READMEs for dependencies (DGR-024, DGR-040) before changing code. Inspect live source/tests rather than trusting legacy pass states. Objective: Use direct gRPC where available and the existing relay as opaque protobuf transport without redesigning relay behavior.

Acceptance criteria

Direct paths use the long-lived gRPC activation stream.
Relayed paths carry byte-identical versioned protobuf frames through the existing relay contract.
Request/work identity, cancellation, deadlines, telemetry, billing correlation, and per-node attribution survive both paths.
Fake-worker tests cover direct, relay, disconnect, cancellation, and bounded buffering.
Applicable shared quality gates in prd.json pass, and the evidence handoff records exact commands/results, changed files, limitations, and dependency handoff.

Shared quality gates

Targeted deterministic tests pass; Python changes also pass python -m compileall packages tests.
git diff --check passes.
Default tests are model-download-free, API-credit-free, and GPU-free.
Evidence README records exact changed files, commands/results, limitations, and dependency handoff; no fabricated evidence or inherited completion credit.

Evidence handoff

Write and verify .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-042/README.md. Until every criterion and applicable gate has real evidence, this story remains passes: false. Legacy evidence is provenance only, not completion credit.
