Summary

ocx sync --restart-codex now honors the explicit restart request after a successful configuration-only change, even when catalog/cache bytes are unchanged. Injection reports configChanged only after the configuration transaction commits, and sync propagates that receipt to the existing CLI restart handler. Validate-only runs, external-provider preservation, refused/skipped writes, rollbacks and byte-identical commits do not grant configuration-only restart authority. Startup and ordinary sync do not automatically restart clients; existing catalog/cache-write handling is preserved, including a later injection failure.

Maintainer follow-up uses normal fast-forward commits on the author's fork, merging dev through ee6cbe23a77ea616ac370ee1f79b1721726ade37. The earlier byte-for-byte formatApplyHistoryFailure extraction remains intact and restores the file-size cap. CLI help, generated skill references, structure contracts, and English plus seven translated CLI references explain the behavior. The old interception/CA/watcher stack is excluded.

Current head: b515cd2e9101c2ae7fcd31baf618294ed67ea7df. The in-repository ci/pr-6381 mirror points to the same SHA; no workflow was dispatched from it.

Verification

Fresh local macOS evidence on this head (Bun 1.4.3; isolated test homes):

• bun install: passed; no dependency or lockfile change.
• OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun run test --parallel=1 tests/cli/cli-dispatch.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-inject-integration.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-inject-missing-config.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-inject-v1-reconcile.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-sync-api.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-inject-history-wording.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts: 219 pass, 0 fail, 1562 assertions across seven files. Covers committed changes, initial file creation, idempotence, v1-only reconciliation, compensation after coordinator failure, sync propagation and explicit restart/no-restart cases.
• OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun run test:changed --parallel=1 against origin/dev merge base ee6cbe23a: exit 124: the unchanged wrapper stopped this broad selection at 900 seconds. Partial captured output contains 23009 passing test lines, 37 skipped test lines, six failures and four unhandled-error blocks across 1017 started files; this is not a completed or passing suite. Failures were in sibling-home sync (one), Aside CLI recovery metadata (one), and live audio (four). A targeted comparison ran OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun run test --parallel=1 tests/cli/sibling-home-client-sync.test.ts tests/cli/cli-headless-parity.test.ts tests/cli/cli-access-audio-live.test.ts on clean dev at ee6cbe23a and on this PR. Clean dev: 162 pass, 8 fail, 4 errors; PR: 166 pass, 4 fail, 4 errors (both exit 1). The sibling-home and audio failures reproduce on clean dev. The Aside bulk-207 case passed in both comparisons, so its one broad-run timeout remains non-reproduced rather than being labelled a proven baseline failure. Those three files are unchanged by this PR. No tests were skipped to get green and no timeout was increased..
• bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, bun run skill:surface:check, git diff --check: passed.
• In docs-site: bun install --frozen-lockfile and bun run build: passed; 577 pages, 81206 internal links checked.
• Full-suite exception: the full repository suite was not repeated because numerous concurrent worktrees are exercising the same machine; focused regressions and import-graph coverage were run with --parallel=1. The broad changed selection is not green; its remaining coverage, the transient Aside timeout, and full-suite/cross-platform completion remain for CI or an uncontended validation run. No live user's Codex or provider configuration was changed, and actual Desktop draft/picker/approval preservation was not exercised.

CI still needed: all required PR checks must finish successfully for b515cd2, plus fresh cross-platform validation of that SHA once the maintainer lifts the dispatch hold. The current-head automatic PR CI subset is action_required (awaiting fork-run approval); the current-head Catalog async contracts and React Doctor runs are also awaiting approval, and governance checks are queued/pending. Approval and any cross-platform dispatch remain on hold. No GitHub Actions workflows were manually dispatched, rerun or cancelled. The earlier cross-platform run at edb9313 is now completed successfully (30 successful jobs including ci, 5 conditional skips); it is historical evidence, not validation of this new head. Missing/queued/skipped/older-head results are not passing coverage.

Review: the 15 existing inline threads are resolved; they largely concern the superseded watcher scope. CodeRabbit's no-actionable review at 713e3c3 predates the maintainer follow-ups. Author readiness must be renewed for the new head; the maintainer's local results are not the author's attestation. This PR remains draft and is not merge-approved.

CodeRabbit's three retained summary concerns (delegated relaunch by display name, single-generation listener lifecycle, unauthenticated TLS readiness probe) come from its security review labeled "up to b185b", which predates the rebuild of this branch. They apply to code this PR no longer contains. Each is confirmed against draft #5947 at cc9895753, which now owns that code, and handed off there with file and line evidence in this reply. This PR has no code change for them, so the head stays b515cd2e9.

Integration note: #7149 edits another string in the same capability details source line and generated reference. A future integration must retain both the configuration-write trigger wording here and its conditional desktop-restart wording, then run bun run skill:surface; do not drop either change during conflict resolution.

📝 Walkthrough

Codex injection and sync results now report committed configuration-byte changes. When sync succeeds and a restart scope is explicitly requested, the CLI handles that scope if the configuration changed. Catalog and cache writes remain independent restart triggers.

Changes: Codex Configuration-Change Restart

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configuration change reporting src/codex/inject.ts, src/codex/sync.ts, structure/config.md, tests/codex-integration/*	Injection compares committed configuration content with the original content and reports configChanged after successful writes. Sync propagates the signal. Integration tests cover changed and unchanged configurations, preflight, skipped injection, and failures.
Requested restart handling src/cli/dispatch.ts, tests/cli/cli-dispatch.test.ts, src/cli/registry.ts, src/cli/capabilities-base.ts, skills/ocx/references/*, structure/cli-management.md	An explicitly requested restart scope is handled after successful sync when configChanged is true. Catalog and cache writes remain independent triggers. CLI descriptions and documentation state the restart conditions, and dispatch tests cover the requested scope and sync outcomes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b185b

The feature is opt-in and restricted to local macOS traffic, which limits exposure. However, automatic relaunch does not consistently preserve verified app identity, listener ownership is checked through an unauthenticated response, and repeated lifecycle starts could lose cleanup ownership. These are bounded security-control concerns rather than evidence of remote compromise or credential theft.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · observed: The added intercept-launch delegation does not bind execution to the bundle the CLI verified: the generated script quits and opens ChatGPT by display name. The independent watcher also omits bundle signature and ownership validation. This weakens the executable-selection boundary and can select a different local app; exploitation requires local app-registration or bundle influence, and no privilege escalation is established.
• Low · security · inferred: The new routing guard authenticates neither the listener certificate nor process ownership: it accepts a public service identifier over unverified TLS. A local process that acquires the expected port can satisfy this guard and induce routing or startup disruption. The app's separate certificate validation limits the outcome; forged identity alone does not prove access to cookies or messages.
• Medium · reliability · inferred: The new listener lifecycle retains only the latest start promise. If start is repeated while an earlier listener exists, a disabled request or failed replacement can overwrite the only cleanup handle, leaving the earlier TLS interceptor running after stop. The visible owning component forwards start calls without enforcing a single-start invariant; whether production execution repeats them remains unresolved.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The direct interception scope is the locally routed app's chatgpt.com traffic and active account, not a remotely bound service. Shared certificate authority use couples ChatGPT and existing Claude interception: compromise of that key can affect clients trusting it beyond the selected rewritten endpoints. This is inherited authority with a new consumer, not evidence that the PR newly introduced insecure key storage.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A local port-squatting process can forge the listener identity response and pass the new routing guard without possessing the intended certificate. It can induce a fresh-app restart toward its port, but app certificate validation remains a separate barrier; credential theft is not established by this path.
• inferred — Local influence over name-based app resolution can break the relationship between the CLI-verified bundle and the bundle actually launched. The watcher has no corresponding signature gate. The demonstrated issue is weakened execution identity, not proven additional privileges or account access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Remote exposure is constrained by loopback-only binding. Production HTTP and WebSocket routing targets ChatGPT; the WebSocket TLS connection sets chatgpt.com as its server name without disabling certificate verification. Local listener identity probes, in contrast, explicitly bypass TLS verification.
• observed — The existing CA store writes private keys with mode 0600 inside a directory created with mode 0700. Publication is lifecycle-locked, persisted certificate/key pairs are validated before reuse, and startup retries lock contention. These constrain other-user access and concurrent publication but do not isolate the key from same-user processes.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Awaiting startup before shutdown preserves cleanup ordering for one start. Repetition is not similarly protected: replacing the pending promise can detach a previously started TLS listener from cleanup ownership. Establishing a single-start deployment contract or preserving every active handle is necessary to resolve this conditional containment concern.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Carry the verified bundle path through delegated relaunch, and apply equivalent bundle identity checks before watcher-driven execution.
• proposed — Authenticate readiness against the expected local authority and chatgpt.com server identity instead of treating a public service string as listener ownership. Keep app-side TLS validation as a separate control.
• proposed — Enforce a single-start lifecycle or serialize replacement so previous and partially started listener generations remain owned until stopped.

@coderabbitai review

Rebased onto #6365 (the maintainer's intercept split) since #5947 no longer exists as a unit. The diff against #6365's head is one commit: the readiness marker (chatgpt-unblock.ready) as a second launchd WatchPaths entry, the five-minute age guard in watch mode, and the tests and translated guide text. Carried from the pre-split branch and kept: pgrep -a app lookup, bash -n before launchd loads the script, and the shim env through the shared launch script.

440-441: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

plistUpToDate still compares against a plist with one watch path.

A previous review flagged this mismatch, and the author marked it fixed in b8f5949da. The current file still contains the old code:

• Line 394: installChatgptUnblockWatcher writes the plist with [paths.lockPath, paths.readyPath].
• Line 441: chatgptUnblockWatcherStatus builds the expected plist with paths.lockPath only.

The expected text has no <string>…/chatgpt-unblock.ready</string> entry. The strict === comparison therefore returns false for every fresh install. Today printInterceptStatus in src/cli/chatgpt-command.ts does not read plistUpToDate, so users see no wrong output yet. The exported field still reports the wrong value. A later "plist outdated; reinstall" line would tell every correctly installed user to reinstall.

Put the watch-path list in one helper and use that helper at both sites. Then add a test that asserts plistUpToDate: true after an install. The current status function has no plistPath seam, so either add one or compare against buildChatgptUnblockWatcherPlist directly.

🐛 Proposed fix

   const plistUpToDate = plistInstalled
-    && readFileSync(paths.plistPath, "utf8") === buildChatgptUnblockWatcherPlist(paths.scriptPath, paths.lockPath, paths.errPath);
+    && readFileSync(paths.plistPath, "utf8") === buildChatgptUnblockWatcherPlist(paths.scriptPath, [paths.lockPath, paths.readyPath], paths.errPath);

- Around line 192-194: Update the watcher script invoked by
launchChatgptWithRule to stop when opening ChatGPT fails, before printing the
success message; retain the result.ok check in the CLI branch so the launch
failure returns a nonzero exit status.
- Around line 139-140: Use inspectChatgptCaTrust to require trusted CA state
before installing the watcher and recheck trust before any automatic ChatGPT
relaunch, so removing trust leaves the app untouched. Apply the same trust
prerequisite to the explicit intercept launch alongside the existing intercept
and runtimeRole checks.
- Line 192: Update the intercept call to launchChatgptWithRule to pass the
discovered install.root bundle path, then use that path in both open calls
within the launch script so both launches target the bundle selected during
discovery.

include monitoring the `chatgpt-unblock.ready` marker. State that watch mode
restarts apps without launch switches only when they are no more than five
minutes old, with missing or unparseable age treated as fresh; clarify that
explicit CLI launches are not age-limited.

Before rebasing the watcher, I want to settle its replacement contract after the local-CA decision on #6365.

The goal is still the original Desktop workflow: automatic setup regardless of whether the app or OpenCodex starts first, general-proxy compatibility, and no forced interruption of an active session. A shim-only watcher is not yet evidence of equivalent coverage: the new build-specific report in #6196 says the composer gate never crosses the app-server pipe. I have not reproduced that report, and its renderer modification is not a supported integration proposal.

The public modelProvider/capabilities/read response currently contains only imageGeneration and webSearch, not send eligibility (source at 6fbfc352).

Is there an accepted, supported Desktop integration/build for late-start attachment or route refresh, with send admission scoped to the selected provider? If this needs a Desktop-side change, can we agree on upstream coordination and the acceptance boundary here? I would want both startup orders, repeated starts, service recovery, and an existing session to pass without silently losing history/plugin/voice coverage. Rebasing the rejected intercept or merely detecting a live listener would not establish that result.

A concrete candidate is to separate the two owners: OpenCodex keeps the provider configuration and service lifecycle idempotent, with a single owner and generation-bound readiness; Desktop evaluates admission for that selected provider while retaining its native signed-in account for other services. If Desktop exposes a supported, versioned route-refresh interface, startup/reconnect requests could be coalesced and stale generations discarded without restarting an active session. This is a proposed integration contract, not an API I have verified exists. Could this be the accepted direction, with the Desktop dependency coordinated upstream?

Maintainer follow-up: I pushed edb9313 to this branch (a normal fast-forward push; history is unchanged).

The PR-head CI failed file-size ratchet: repository (job). src/codex/inject.ts is capped at 987 lines, dev has it at 983, and the configChanged receipt brings it to 993. Per the ratchet rule, the fix is a move: the self-contained formatApplyHistoryFailure now lives unchanged in src/codex/inject/history-failure.ts, and inject.ts imports and re-exports it, so callers are untouched. inject.ts is now 969 lines.

The receipt logic itself looks right to me. It is computed after the config lock is released and only on the committed path, so validate-only runs, preserved external ownership, skips, refusals, and compensated failures can't publish it.

Local checks: the ratchet, history-wording, and the PR's seven test files pass (219 pass, 0 fail); typecheck and structure:check pass. Full cross-platform dispatch on the same commit: https://github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/actions/runs/38702101554

[lidge-jun]

Maintainer round-2 follow-up is pushed to your original fork branch at b515cd2e9101c2ae7fcd31baf618294ed67ea7df, using normal merge commits from dev through ee6cbe23a and a focused CLI-documentation commit. No rebasing or force-pushing was used. ci/pr-6381 now points to the same SHA; nothing was dispatched from the mirror.

@lcxhh521 The contributor readiness checklist requires your renewed author attestation for this new head. The maintainer's local results do not attest that you ran validation or authorize ticking “My PR is ready for review” for you. Please review the updated Verification scope, rerun any validation you need, and tick the four boxes only when your current-head attestations are accurate. The PR remains draft. The previous checked boxes belonged to the older head and should not be reused.

CI dispatch is still on hold. The completed successful cross-platform run at edb93130e is historical evidence; the new head still needs successful required PR checks and fresh cross-platform validation once the maintainer lifts that hold. No PR was merged.

@coderabbitai Response to the three Retained concerns in this PR's summary (issue comment 5928342111).

All three are real, but none of them applies to this PR's current head b515cd2e9. Your Security Architecture Review is labeled "up to b185b". It reviewed the earlier ready-watcher/interception stack, which this branch carried before it was rebuilt on 2026-10-15 as the single configuration-restart commit 713e3c354. The current diff against dev touches only src/codex/inject.ts, src/codex/inject/history-failure.ts, src/codex/sync.ts, the CLI restart dispatch/help text, docs and tests. It has no TLS listener, launch watcher, generated launch script, CA or readiness probe. git diff origin/dev...HEAD contains no reference to src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/ or src/server/index/chatgpt-unblock-lifecycle.ts.

That code now lives only in draft PR #5947 (feat/chatgpt-desktop-pac-fallback). I checked each concern against its head cc9895753:

1. Relaunch not bound to the verified bundle (medium): confirmed in feat(chatgpt-unblock): PAC-fallback mode so traffic survives opencodex stopping #5947. src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/launch-watcher.ts runs osascript -e 'quit app "ChatGPT"' (line 247) and open -a ChatGPT (lines 296 and 341), and does not use src/chatgpt/app-server-shim/bundle-trust.ts. Only src/cli/chatgpt-command.ts checks bundle trust (quit app id). The fix belongs there: open the absolute bundle path the CLI verified, and apply the same untrustedChatgptBundleReason check before the watcher acts. This would match how fix(startup): launch the registered Desktop bundle and executable #7137 launches the registered Desktop bundle by validated POSIX path.
2. Lifecycle keeps only the latest start (medium): confirmed in feat(chatgpt-unblock): PAC-fallback mode so traffic survives opencodex stopping #5947. createChatgptUnblockLifecycle in src/server/index/chatgpt-unblock-lifecycle.ts holds one pending promise, and start() overwrites it, including with Promise.resolve(null) on a disabled request. A second start can therefore orphan a running listener. The fix there is to reject a second start, or to keep every started generation and have stop() close each one.
3. Unauthenticated readiness probe (low): confirmed in feat(chatgpt-unblock): PAC-fallback mode so traffic survives opencodex stopping #5947. requestIdentity in launch-watcher.ts (around line 601) connects with rejectUnauthorized: false and accepts the identity body as proof of ownership. The fix is to check that the presented leaf chains to the opencodex CA the listener published, or that the listener echoes a nonce for this start, while the app still validates TLS on its own.

This PR does not change that code, so it has no fix or regression test for these items. Reintroducing the stack here to patch it would undo this PR's one-topic scope. The findings are handed to #5947, which already carries your separate PAC-readiness concerns. I'm leaving this PR in draft.

@lidge-jun Thanks for the correction and scope guidance. I withdraw all three retained concerns from PR #6381 at b515cd2e9. The earlier review does not establish findings against this head.

I verified the current head and read the PR diff through GitHub. The diff contains the configuration-change receipt, sync propagation, explicit restart dispatch, the history formatter extraction, documentation, and tests. It does not change the launch watcher, TLS listener, listener lifecycle, or readiness probe.

The relevant changes are:

• src/codex/inject.ts, Line 722: computes configChanged from the admitted original content and final committed plan.
• src/codex/sync.ts, Line 219 and Line 338: propagates the receipt only when injection succeeds.
• src/cli/dispatch.ts, Line 470: requires an explicit restart scope, successful sync, and configChanged === true for the configuration-only restart path.

The three concerns are therefore not applicable to this PR, rather than fixed by it:

Retained concern	Disposition for #6381
Relaunch not bound to the verified bundle	Withdrawn from this PR
Lifecycle keeps only the latest start	Withdrawn from this PR
Unauthenticated readiness probe	Withdrawn from this PR

Your handoff identifies #5947 as the follow-up location. I did not independently inspect its head cc9895753 in this check. There is no reason to reintroduce that stack into #6381 to address these findings.

This scope correction is not a fresh full review, CI validation, or merge approval. GitHub still reports the PR as draft.

Timestamp: 2026-10-15T16:25:00.181Z
Learning: PR #6381 in lidge-jun/opencodex was rebuilt from the earlier watcher/interception stack into a configuration-restart change. At head b515cd2e9101c2ae7fcd31baf618294ed67ea7df, its diff covers src/codex/inject.ts, src/codex/inject/history-failure.ts, src/codex/sync.ts, CLI restart dispatch/help, documentation, and tests. The earlier findings about unverified ChatGPT bundle relaunch, overwritten listener-start promises, and unauthenticated readiness probes do not apply to this PR head. The maintainer identifies draft PR #5947 as the follow-up location for those findings; do not carry them into #6381 unless a later diff reintroduces the affected code.
