Current status — 2026-10-28

Merged head: 0714a4619165def020fb35c6367b663c8ca6bcf8, tree 7db2fcae9500dd3759f18ea4f1cd09f75f3bc7cc. Maintainer lidge-jun merged this PR at 2026-10-28 04:59:02 UTC as f9e7d939d125c810aa3f3d700dcb8b0cb4129a0f. The old Draft, unpublished-carry, conflict and CI-wait descriptions are historical.

The existing maintainer has published the narrowed carry and rebased it. Its enforcement contract is now explicit: runtime mutation guards are the authority boundary; the source scanner and helper inventory are best-effort regression lint, not a complete capability sandbox. The update-owned reclaim adapter requires a callable authorization hook and refuses missing, denied or throwing authorization. The narrowed scope's explicit maintainer/security acceptance is recorded below; this does not claim every historical private-carry item was included.

The earlier Node fixture's missing transactionalNpmUpdateSync and failure-guidance bindings are supplied. The launcher/provenance assertions now recognize guardedSpawn and probeSpawnSync. When the TS7 parser cannot start under POSIX Bun, only the auxiliary static lint is skipped; runtime guard tests remain active. Failures on old 7305bee7 and 4bdce0bf are historical and are not current-head failures.

Exact-head automatic CI 40633760444 finished attempt 2 successfully at 04:58:19 UTC, with 15 successful jobs / 9 policy skips. Maintainer lidge-jun retried the cancelled API-usage job once; the earlier successful jobs were reused. The retried API-usage job completed dependency installation, GUI build and the API test, and the final aggregate passed. This was not a second execution of the entire passing suite.

Attempt 1 remains historical evidence: it ended at 04:53:43 UTC with overall conclusion cancelled, 13 success / 9 skips / 1 cancelled API-usage job / 1 failed aggregate. API usage was cancelled during GUI dependency installation before its test step. The maintainer identifies the five-minute install stall in the integration decision; the separate installation follow-up is existing PR #7870. It was not an observed product-test assertion failure. Catalog async contracts and Service lifecycle also succeeded. Windows/macOS jobs were policy-skipped. No rerun, dispatch, source push or merge was performed by this verification/body-cleanup follow-up.

Summary

Keep package updates and recovery within the service-home authority observed when the operation began. An initially unknown service home permits an otherwise-authorized package-only update with manual restart guidance; it grants no proxy, tray or service-control authority. Changed registration, live package use, uncertain runtime ownership and unresolved teardown still refuse replacement or recovery.

The GUI worker carries the original baseline through protocol-v2 Node/Bun delegation and recovery. Stable foreign or absent service registration preserves recovery of the captured own foreground runtime without global service repair or wrapper control. Refusal cleanup can restore only this operation's previously running own tray through a verified launcher.

Post-replacement checks cover shim, tray and service actions. Worker and Bun recovery recheck authority after awaited work and before each kill or TCP-row change. A denied or throwing probe remains denied for that recovery operation, even if the registration later matches again. Shim-status probe errors remain warnings and do not abort otherwise-authorized recovery.

The current runtime-guard contract is documented in update-supervised-recovery.md; the mandatory adapter is guarded-port-reclaim.ts.

Current local verification

Pinned Bun 1.4.4, frozen lockfile, repository preload, isolated test homes and CI's --timeout 60000 contract.

A local normal integration of 0f6502c7 with dev 713fdfbe had one actual conflict, in tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json. Both parents' registrations were preserved: 2,723 and 2,718 entries became their exact 2,733-entry union. The structure index was regenerated. Independent integration review found no dropped parent change.

While that tree was being verified, the maintainer published 0714a461. The local tested tree becfd047142c3e223a23893877b9860cb4ec16f0 differs from the public tree only in the ordering of keys on one line of that JSON fixture. Parsed JSON is identical; every other source, test and document blob is byte-identical. No competing integration commit was pushed. The published commit was separately checked out for the layout and recovery checks below.

Validation	Observed result
Runtime guards, authorization adapter, Node launcher and corrected source assertions: 9 files	113 passed / 293 auxiliary static-lint skips, after resolving the local execution constraints described below
Other changed regression files: 27 files	689 passed / 41 platform skips / 1 container-dependent recovery-fixture failure
Layout, structure and size guards: 4 files	89 passed / 0 failed
Published 0714a461 layout guards	29 passed / 579 assertions; the key-order-only difference is accepted
Published 0714a461 original recovery case with a read-only absent-manager fixture	1 passed / 14 assertions, including replacement readiness and owned-process cleanup
Typecheck, structure index/check, privacy scan, diff whitespace	Passed; typecheck covered 2,212 files

The first local 9-file run had 12 environment failures: restricted child-Node output capture and no fixture directory whose ancestors met the product's PATH-Bun trust policy. With normal subprocess execution and an explicitly private trusted fixture directory, the two affected files passed 48 tests / 256 assertions unchanged. Passing tests from the other files were not rerun merely for reassurance.

The 27-file run's sole failure expected the Node updater to stop and recover an unmanaged proxy. This container resolves a systemctl wrapper that exits zero with explanatory text instead of the requested service properties. The real service-home probe therefore correctly returns unknown and refuses runtime authority. A diagnostic using the unchanged packaged launcher and Bun entry confirmed this cause. For the original recovery case on the exact published commit, a test-only systemctl --user show fixture returned the four explicit absent-service properties and refused all other commands. The case then passed without changing product guards, assertions or timeouts. The default-container failure is retained as such; this is not real systemd/service acceptance.

A complete repository run was not attempted under the documented resource exception: this follow-up covered the changed updater/source-contract tests and integration guards while other isolated worktrees were active. Hosted checks supply broader coverage. Skips are not successes; installed Windows/macOS behavior is not established by these Linux fixtures.

Executed local test selections and gates

All commands used pinned Bun 1.4.4 from the checkout working directory. The two affected-file rerun supplied OPENCODEX_TEST_TRUSTED_FIXTURE_DIR pointing to the private trusted fixture directory. The last recovery-case command additionally prefixed PATH with the read-only absent-manager fixture described above. The initial integration ran on tree becfd047; the final two test commands ran on published 0714a461.

Historical verification

Historical checkpoint: ad87532038b2c7c096d5e598548421c08129cea2. The earlier status recorded automatic CI 40281086599 as pending and full cross-platform run 40281088871 with 19 cancelled jobs and an unfinished aggregate. Those were observations at that checkpoint, not current run-state claims. They are not successful current-head evidence; cancellation itself is not a code-test failure.

Earlier validated candidate 5d1dee323bbfc0a50a31a7d9022c437c50fb71fc normally merges dev 8ebe46b2076445d100cef1e52af4d98d78f8f1e1 into the previous public head 2430fd79. Its 43-file feature scope preserved the stronger upload fixture and both sets of test-layout registrations. It describes that historical candidate, not the current published diff.

Using official Bun 1.4.4 and CI's --timeout 60000 contract on Windows x64 at that earlier candidate:

• 198 passed / 0 failed across update-job, update-restart-lease, update-service-home, update-service-home-policy, update-home-recovery, update-home-launcher and update-home-worker.
• Both test-layout guards passed 29 cases / 579 assertions.
• TypeScript, structure/index, 43-file privacy/size and committed-diff checks passed.
• Every recorded validation process exited 0 with both output streams complete and no remaining direct child. Isolated test environments were cleaned after ownership checks.
• The changed update-failed Markdown was bound to the candidate by hash and its generated HTML was retained. The reused local documentation fixture provides changed-page evidence only. Exact-head CI 40226518237, including the documentation-site build, subsequently passed.

At that candidate, update-job and update-restart-lease included the seven previously reproduced failure cases and passed. The earlier nine-versus-seven report discrepancy remains a missing-log-detail gap; unidentified cases are not assumed passing.

For that earlier candidate, full cross-platform run 40229953984 passed with 28 successful jobs and 6 conditional skips. Earlier results remain tied to their original revisions; they are not substituted for the current public head or a future integration tree.

Remaining review and acceptance

The six old inline threads are resolved. The CodeRabbit summary remains paused, so those resolved threads are not a fresh CodeRabbit review of this head. Separately, the maintainer's 04:58:58 UTC integration decision explicitly accepts this narrowed scope and reports independent security review PASS, 0 blocking, with the current src/ and bin/ delta matching the reviewed candidate. That is the maintainer's recorded review result, not a new independent security audit performed by this follow-up. Current-head CI, maintainer/security acceptance and PR integration waits are closed.

Current repository policy uses PR fast/conditionally expanded Ubuntu checks and batched dev cross-platform validation. Do not start another per-PR lane=all run without a maintainer's explicit request on this PR. A historical full run is not a current native acceptance claim.

Local checks use controlled I/O and temporary processes. Real Windows service/scheduler/tray operation, another user's boundary and live update acceptance remain outside this follow-up's Linux validation evidence. The PR's maintainer/security acceptance is recorded above; it does not turn platform skips into native execution. No live installation, service, account, credential or certificate store was changed by this follow-up.

Checklist

• Current public implementation and narrowed enforcement contract are described.
• The old Draft/unpublished-carry/current-failure descriptions are corrected.
• Maintainer dev integration is present; independent content-preservation review and scoped local validation are recorded.
• Historical evidence, platform skips and container-specific fixture results remain distinct.
• Current-head automatic CI reached its final successful conclusion after the maintainer's one-job retry.
• Maintainer recorded independent security review of the narrowed diff and explicit integration acceptance.
• Maintainer merged the accepted head into dev; the prior PR integration waits are closed.

The PR is merged. Real-service acceptance and the separate CI-install follow-up remain distinct from this completed integration.

Thanks @luvs01. Scoping update recovery to the service home that owns it fills a real gap, and the shared policy module is easy to follow. Two problems block it at aef76f43f:

1. Unknown authority now blocks the package update itself, beyond automatic recovery. src/update/index.ts:494 returns 1 and bin/ocx.mjs:334 exits before any install when the first probe says unknown; src/update/job.ts:1898 does the same for the dashboard worker. unknown covers a missing Bun, a service-manager query timeout (tests/update/update-service-home.test.ts:92) and an unreadable state record, which are the installs a user most often runs ocx update to repair. Suggested fix: let an initial unknown replace the package, skip the stop, refresh and direct-start steps, and finish with the manual restart hint plus the refusal text. Keep the hard refusal for authority that changes during the update.
2. That refusal breaks existing coverage. tests/update/update-bun-ownership-lease.test.ts and tests/update/update-stop-first.test.ts go from 40 pass / 0 fail on dev 7640a942b to 10 failures at this head. Nine of the sandboxed updater fixtures now stop with "service registration ownership could not be verified". The source-oracle test update-stop-first.test.ts:808 still looks for const updateLease = after the rename to let at bin/ocx.mjs:690.

Repro: OPENCODEX_HOME=$(mktemp -d) CODEX_HOME=$(mktemp -d) bun test --timeout 20000 tests/update/update-bun-ownership-lease.test.ts tests/update/update-stop-first.test.ts

[github-actions]

✅ Deterministic PR hygiene checks passed.

[luvs01]

The two regression points are addressed in 29f34140627d788676a0be51b37c740918949945.

Initial unknown service-home evidence now permits an otherwise-authorized package-only update while refusing service/tray control, repair, and restart. Changed authority and unresolved ownership/teardown still block replacement. The worker and child propagate restrictions in both directions, and the existing v1 probe remains compatible with old updaters through a separate package-only capability probe.

The lease fixtures now declare service-home evidence without weakening their original stop/replacement/recovery assertions, and the stale source oracle is corrected. The final focused candidate run recorded 302 pass / 1 Windows skip / 1 fail (exit 1). The remaining sandboxed staged-update recovery failure also occurs on the recorded baseline: the history coordinator refuses an unsafe namespace. Our baseline two-file reproduction was 39 pass / 1 fail, rather than 40 pass / 0 fail; the preceding PR head added the ten regressions described in your report.

The PR body records the exact command, successful static/docs checks, and coverage limits. Exact-head hosted CI is pending; full-suite and native service smoke are unverified, and the PR remains Draft.

[luvs01]

2d8102d0680c388c5a400a54da3cd744a3f66a57 fixes the two stale Windows source assertions after teardown moved to src/update/job-windows-restart.ts. Only the two tests change: they follow the import/call connection, require native WinSW stop-and-return before scheduler cleanup, and retain the matcher, self-exclusion, and injection guards.

Recorded Bun 1.4.3 validation on the candidate:

• bun test --timeout 20000 tests/windows/windows-service-wrappers.test.ts tests/windows/windows-deploy-close-regressions.test.ts: before 22 pass / 29 skip / 2 fail; after 24 pass / 29 skip / 0 fail, 106 assertions. The 29 skips require native Windows.
• Related updater safety/layout coverage: 203 pass / 0 fail, 1525 assertions across 11 files.
• Typecheck, structure, file-size, privacy, and diff checks passed.

Full suite, test:changed, and native Windows execution were not run. The earlier staged-recovery environment failure was not rechecked and is not claimed fixed. Exact-head hosted CI is pending; the PR remains Draft.

[lidge-jun]

Being carried into #7215 with your authorship preserved; this PR will be closed when the bundle lands.

[lidge-jun]

Remote validation of the carry in #7215 found that this change fails 9 existing dev tests in tests/update/update-job.test.ts and tests/update/update-restart-lease.test.ts (it refuses an automatic service restart where dev expects the direct-start fallback). #7154 is held out of that bundle and stays open; the other carried PRs land without it.

[luvs01]

1da3dfbfe19ebeff25e497aae374f94550ca49bc isolates the same-home restart fixtures from the host manager's authority probe. They now explicitly simulate an ordinary manager failure and release the lease before direct fallback reacquires it. A regression test verifies lease release, one direct spawn, and zero calls to the real manager entrypoint. Only two test files change; runtime unknown/changed-authority refusal remains unchanged.

Recorded controlled comparison: baseline 4ae49360 88 pass / 0 fail; this PR and the exact carry candidate 9e66c9c before correction 81 pass / 7 fail, and after the same correction 88 pass / 0 fail. Final normal safety coverage passed 152 tests; layout coverage passed 27 tests. Typecheck, structure, file-size, privacy, and diff checks passed. These scopes overlap and are not additive.

This reproduces and fixes 7 of the 9 reported failures, not all nine. Could you share the exact failing test names and logs for the remaining two so we can check them against this correction? Full-suite, native-platform, and maintainer-host reruns were not performed; the earlier staged-recovery sandbox failure was not rechecked. New-head hosted CI is not yet passing evidence, and the PR remains Draft.

[luvs01]

Verification-status follow-up (2026-10-21), without code or readiness changes.

The current published head is 1da3dfbfe19ebeff25e497aae374f94550ca49bc. The PR description's pending-CI checkpoint refers to an earlier correction, and the last author comment preceded completion of the following current-head runs:

• Cross-platform CI 38840875136 completed successfully. Its four test shards, typecheck/privacy gates, structure gate, docs build, and final aggregate ci job all succeeded. The full Windows and macOS test matrices were skipped, so this is not native-platform coverage.
• Catalog async contracts 38840875105 and React Doctor 38840875173 also completed successfully on this head.

These are inspected hosted results, not tests newly executed in this follow-up. They do not retroactively turn the documented local failures into passes, establish that the two unprovided failing cases from the earlier nine-failure report were fixed, or supply independent security/maintainer approval. The last scoped correction established seven reproduced fixes; that distinction remains as recorded in #7154 (comment).

Retain Draft and the remaining review/operational gates. No workflow rerun, merge, deployment, or live service operation was performed.

Historical author checkpoint (2026-10-21)

Author follow-up at c238a6744617f5338ca75291cc29ddd0a1232e42: integrated current dev@12025981 with both parent histories preserved and no force-push. The native union was conflict-free but exposed a 2,003-line test-layout file. Five unchanged update-home registrations now use the existing explicit-shard mechanism, returning the main map to 1,998 lines without raising a cap or dropping tests. This is the only correction beyond the automatic dev merge.

Fresh isolated verification run 39563270305, Bun 1.4.3 / Ubuntu: 383 pass, 30 platform skips, 0 fail; 2,697 assertions across 20 files. Typecheck, privacy, structure, file-size, GUI prerequisite build and dev-relative whitespace all passed. The published tree ea30d8062c8e0370ac317d4ad87e4295c8acca48 exactly matches the tested tree. The earlier uncorrected union had one failure, the layout ratchet; that failed run is retained.

The current passing set includes update-job.test.ts, update-restart-lease.test.ts, both earlier stop/ownership-lease files and the launcher/worker/recovery policy tests. This is new scoped Ubuntu evidence, not identification of the two unprovided failures in the earlier nine-case report and not native service acceptance. The PR body now separates this checkpoint from the historical seven reproduced fixes and older-head CI.

Please review the full current diff while the PR remains Draft. Required new-head upstream CI and independent maintainer/security acceptance remain separate gates. No live service, installation, deployment, integration-branch merge or finding closure was performed.

🟡 Minor · Handle lease contention in both direct-start paths. · index.ts:576

src/update/index.ts:576
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle lease contention in both direct-start paths.

When another process keeps the ownership lease until the acquisition deadline, mutation.reacquire() and reacquireUpdateLease() throw OWNERSHIP_MUTATION_LEASE_BUSY. The TypeScript and Node startProxyDirectly functions do not catch that error, so they cannot return their declared failure result or print the existing recovery guidance.

Suggested TypeScript fix

-    mutation.reacquire();
+    try {
+      mutation.reacquire();
+    } catch {
+      console.warn("⚠️  Another process kept the runtime ownership lease claimed, so no proxy was started.");
+      console.warn(`   Run 'ocx service repair', then 'ocx start --port ${capturedListen.port}'.`);
+      return false;
+    }

Apply the same guard to startProxyDirectly in bin/ocx.mjs, using bakePort in the restart command:

-    reacquireUpdateLease();
+    try {
+      reacquireUpdateLease();
+    } catch {
+      console.warn("⚠️  Another process kept the runtime ownership lease claimed, so no proxy was started.");
+      console.warn(`   Run 'ocx service repair', then 'ocx start --port ${bakePort}'.`);
+      return false;
+    }

🟠 Major · Recheck home authority before stopping service wrappers. · job.ts:1154

src/update/job.ts:1154
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Recheck home authority before stopping service wrappers.

restartAfterUpdate checks authority at Line 1103, then awaits the service import at Line 1116. If the registration changes to a foreign home during that wait, Line 1154 can stop global service wrappers, and the following reclaim can stop listeners, before the check at Line 1194 refuses recovery. Call homePolicy.check() after the import and before wrapper stopping or reclaim. If it refuses, return without service-control side effects.

At c84a3226f4ffe455de56e261f8f63014a005314f, the outside-diff wrapper-stop finding is addressed: authority is re-read after the service import, and the actual reclaimer checks it after availability awaits and before kill/TCP-row changes. A denial stays latched even if the home later matches again. The shim status probe is also inside its warning-only error boundary. The new boundary comparison was 4 RED failures, then 51 GREEN tests on the preserved candidate tree; real OS service/tray acceptance is still unverified. Current-head CI remains separate from the historical results in earlier comments.

The initial enforce-target screenshot failures used a stale stored base and included upstream GUI commits. Reasserting the existing dev base refreshed that comparison: GitHub now reports dev@c51b0b4c and exactly 43 changed files, none under gui/, matching the direct comparison. This patch makes no GUI change and needs no substitute screenshot or waiver. The current-head CI and refreshed enforce-target run passed, including all four Ubuntu shards and Linux desktop packaging/E2E. Windows/macOS matrix lanes were skipped. The patch is ready for maintainer review; author checks do not replace maintainer/security approval or real OS service acceptance.

Release-lane decision (v2.93.0, L-A security runtime lane): DEFERRED_POST_RELEASE.

What happened on this branch during the release lane (all normal pushes, no force-push):

• 5b6358c2 merged current dev (c2f3d8b42b) into the branch.
• 3b23d9a0 gates the ghost-listener TCP-row cleanup in restartAfterUpdate on the latched home-authority check, and makes direct recovery return a guided failure instead of throwing OWNERSHIP_MUTATION_LEASE_BUSY (Node and Bun paths).
• ad875320 threads the same gate through preparePortForPinnedStart (wrapper stop, each kill, PID/runtime-state removal, TCP drop).
  Each fix landed with regressions that fail before the fix (8 and 26 cases in tests/update/update-recovery-authority.test.ts); src/update/job.ts stays at 1,999 lines.

Three independent security review rounds (gpt-6.1-sol) each confirmed the previous round's fixes and then found further mutation paths that still act without a fresh authority check. Round 3 at ad875320 reports 2 blocking items: authority is not rechecked after an ownership await before service repair / proxy stop in src/update/index.ts (around :691, :750, :1033), and a home-authority refusal during direct recovery is reported as an ordinary ownership veto, so the update exits successfully (bin/ocx.mjs:687, src/update/index.ts:1117). Round 3 also produced a full inventory of mutation sites in the update flow; the maintainers can share it with the author.

Given the size of the change (43 files) and that the hardening is not yet complete across every mutation path, it will not land in v2.93.0. Suggested next step: recheck authority (and serviceAllowed for service mutations) immediately before every mutation after the last await, and give home refusal its own outcome that propagates a nonzero exit. Issue #7737 remains separate.

[lidge-jun]

Maintainer lane decision: DEFERRED (not merged in this integration batch).

Since the last push, independent security review continued privately for four more rounds on a locally carried head (runtime-guarded mutation design with materialize-then-authorize wrappers, per-signal and per-rename reauthorization, native effect reauthorization, and a closed capability policy for update modules). Production behavior in those rounds held: each effect is authorized immediately before it runs, and refusal stays sticky and distinct from an ordinary ownership veto.

The latest round still reports two blocking items, so the change cannot land under the zero-blocking security gate:

1. The static enforcement of the update-module capability boundary is still incomplete. Each round has found a new acquisition form that the test-time policy does not recognize. A static check over JavaScript does not appear to converge here, so the next step is a maintainer decision on the enforcement contract (for example, treating the runtime guard as the boundary and the static policy as a regression lint, or adopting a different mechanism), rather than another denylist round.
2. A shared helper used by the update path should require an authorizer instead of treating an omitted gate as allowed. Current update callers do pass their gate, so this is a hardening change: make the authorizer mandatory through an update-owned adapter.

The reviewed work is preserved and will be pushed here when this resumes. Details remain with the maintainers until a fix ships.

[lidge-jun]

Maintainer integration decision: merging into dev at head 0714a4619165def020fb35c6367b663c8ca6bcf8 with a narrowed scope.

• Scope: production update code makes every effect (package rename, process signal, PID/port record removal, Windows TCP reclaim, service-manager and tray actions, publication writes) pass a runtime gate immediately before it runs, and a refusal stays sticky. That runtime guard is the security boundary. The static update scanner and inventory under tests/helpers/update-*.ts are now documented as a best-effort regression lint over known patterns, with no completeness or security claim (structure/ops/update-supervised-recovery.md).
• Hardening added in this round: update callers reach the shared port-reclaim helper only through src/update/guarded-port-reclaim.ts, which refuses an omitted or invalid gate before any reclaim I/O (tests/update/update-reclaim-authorizer.test.ts, red before / green after).
• Rebased onto dev; the PR's update test registrations moved onto an existing layout.json line in place of a new shard, so the file keeps its line count. Two test-only follow-ups for Linux: the lint cases skip where TypeScript 7's sync parser cannot start (Bun on POSIX) while all runtime guard cases still run, and the real-Node launcher fixture now supplies the POSIX update path's helpers (4 failures → 0 when the POSIX path is forced locally). Two source checks now recognise the guarded launcher spawn forms.
• Independent security review of the narrowed diff: PASS, 0 blocking. The src/ and bin/ delta on this head is byte-identical (same patch-id) to the reviewed head.
• PR CI on this exact head: all 21 checks passed. The first api usage attempt was cancelled at its 5-minute timeout while cd gui && bun install --frozen-lockfile printed only its banner; this PR touches no GUI, lockfile or workflow file, so that one job was rerun once. The install stall is addressed separately in ci: bound frozen installs and retry only deadline stalls #7870.
• Local checks: 22 update/launcher/layout files (733 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail); typecheck, structure:check, privacy:scan. Failures seen in a wider 66-file run either reproduce on clean dev (missing-ack cleanup, CLI help alias, Windows cmd orphan) or pass in isolation on this head (supervised restart, tray probes).
• Scratch merge with current dev (3b8414d3d) is clean.
