Handoff Vertex

A programmable redirect with Node Vertex controls.

Route users, devices, agents, payments, files, and workflows through a secure vertex with TTL, audit, firewall rules, authentication, and instant revocation.

This is not a URL shortener. This is programmable routing for the signaling fabric.

Stop hardcoding handoff URLs. Use a Handoff Vertex.

A Handoff Vertex turns a URL into a controlled routing point. Instead of hardcoding checkout links, onboarding URLs, download routes, customer portal links, or app-to-app handoffs, create a vertex that can route traffic securely and observably.

https://nodevertex.com/acme/invoices/INV-10045/pay → Stripe Checkout today → Customer portal tomorrow

The public vertex URL stays stable. The destination can change behind it.

Controlled routing

Redirect using 302, 303, or 307 with HTTPS-only validation, allowed hosts, TTL, max hits, and one-time use.

Security first

Block localhost, private networks, raw IP targets, protocol-relative URLs, JavaScript, data URLs, and malformed destinations.

Workflow native

Use a Handoff Vertex inside payment, onboarding, device enrollment, support, form, agent, and activation polygons.

CLI examples

nv create go/demo '{
  "type": "redirect",
  "statusCode": 302,
  "target": "https://nrun.com/demo"
}'

nv create invoices/INV-10045/pay '{
  "type": "redirect",
  "statusCode": 302,
  "target": "https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/cs_test_123",
  "ttlSeconds": 1800,
  "controls": {
    "allowedTargetHosts": ["checkout.stripe.com"],
    "maxHits": 3,
    "audit": true
  },
  "metadata": {
    "purpose": "invoice-payment",
    "invoiceId": "INV-10045"
  }
}'

How it fits into polygons

Invoice Vertex ↓ Payment Handoff Vertex ↓ Stripe Checkout ↓ Payment Confirmation Vertex ↓ Activation Polygon

A vertex can hold a value. A vertex can receive a signal. A vertex can trigger a workflow. A vertex can stream data. A vertex can hand off to another destination.

Every workflow starts with a vertex.

A Handoff Vertex is the simplest way to route a person, device, agent, payment, or workflow from one system to another with programmable control.
