Summary

Part 1b of the split plan in #7345, from the closed #7344. No behavior change.

Depends on #7918 (1a). This branch contains the 3 commits of #7918. The change of this PR is the last commit, eb7461340. After #7918 lands, I rebase this PR on dev so that only that commit remains.

• src/codex/native-main-auth-file.ts gets the two writers of the native-main <CODEX_HOME>/auth.json: writeNativeMainAuthFile(path, content, hooks) (sync, calls atomicWriteFile) and writeNativeMainAuthFileAsync(path, content, write) (async, keeps the injected writer of NativeProfileManager).
• src/codex/main-account.ts: the refresh write (persistRefreshedMainAuthJson) and the reauth write (persistNativeMainReauthTokens) had the same publish block with the same two hooks. They now call one private publishMainAuthJson. The refresh path keeps its publishCredentialSync wrapper, the reauth path keeps none, and advanceCodexCredentialMutationEpoch() stays after each write.
• src/codex/native-profile-manager.ts: the switch, rollback and recovery writes of this.context.authPath call writeNativeMainAuthFileAsync(..., this.atomicWrite). this.atomicWrite is an arrow function, so its publishCredentialAsync wrapper and binding do not change. Writes to other paths do not change.
• The auth.json literal guard of 1a: only two native-profile-manager.ts line numbers move (one new import line). No expect changes.
• The Codex RPC refresh subprocess still writes the file itself. It is Codex, not OpenCodex, and is out of scope.

Not in this PR: the watcher (2a), the checked write (2c), and retention (2b, 2d), as listed on #7345.

Verification

All on Linux, at head eb7461340 (on dev 9c33e4658, 0 behind), on 2026-10-29.

• bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check: pass.
• Target files (codex-main-account-refresh, main-account-hard-lock-auth, native-profile-manager, native-profile-stage-lifecycle, native-profile-startup, native-main-auth-literal-guard): 171 pass, 0 fail.
• Full bun run test (OCX_TEST_MAIN_TIMEOUT_MS=2400000; the default 900 s cap stops the run on this machine): 6 failing cases. All 6 also fail on clean dev 9c33e4658 on the same machine, which has 8: codebuddy-adapter (SIGTERM abort), 3 cases of Codex CLI private-prefix POSIX apply, WP13 composed toggle A-reduced, and update-stop-first (npm launcher restart).
• Not run: Windows and macOS. CI covers them.

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed (structure/codex-home.md says that the same module owns the writers; no user-facing change).
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. This touches credential writes. The bytes, hooks, wrappers, errors and epoch advance of each write are unchanged, and no token is logged or serialized.

Review readiness checklist

• Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

• I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

• I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

• My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Reliability
  • Native login credentials are read and written through more consistent file-handling paths, with checks for oversized files and changes during reads.
  • Credential refreshes, profile switches, and recovery continue to use validated writes.
• Tests
  • Added a check to track where native login files are accessed.
• Documentation
  • Clarified how native login credentials are read and written.

Walkthrough

Native Codex auth-file reads now use shared helpers with plain, bounded, or stable-read behavior. Credential writes and profile switch or rollback writes use shared writer wrappers. A new test checks source locations that contain auth.json literals.

Changes: Native auth-file access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared auth-file helpers src/codex/native-main-auth-file.ts	Adds plain, bounded, and local-bounded reads, stable reads with size and change checks, stat stamps, and synchronous and asynchronous write wrappers.
Credential read paths src/codex/auth-collision.ts, src/codex/desktop-compatibility/native-identity.ts, src/codex/main-account.ts, src/codex/native-profile-store.ts, src/codex/orca-import.ts	Routes credential reads through the shared helpers. Token parsing retains its missing, unreadable, and invalid outcomes. The profile store re-exports the bounded-read limit and function.
Credential writes and access guard src/codex/main-account.ts, src/codex/native-profile-manager.ts, structure/codex-home.md, tests/codex-integration/native-main-auth-literal-guard.test.ts	Routes credential publication, profile switches, and rollback writes through shared writer wrappers. Updates the Codex home documentation and adds a test that checks auth.json literal locations against an allowlist.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reported changes match the stated PR scope. The native-main auth read and write helpers, the main-account.ts publish consolidation, the native-profile-manager.ts writer routing, the literal guard, and the related documentation and tests support the split-plan refactor. The earlier read-side files are identified as the included #7918 commits. No unrelated change is established.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 45.45% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 8 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Maintainers: the hygiene gate reports unsponsored_surface for src/codex/auth-collision.ts. That file comes from #7918 (1a), which this PR contains; 1b itself changes only the native-main auth.json writes, with no behavior change (validation is in the description). Could a maintainer review #7918 and this PR and apply maintainer-sponsored?

Include template literals in the auth-file guard.

When source code uses a no-substitution template literal such as `auth.json`, this detector does not record the line. A new direct native-main credential read can therefore pass the guard without an allowlist entry. Match backtick-delimited literals as well as quoted literals. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Maintainer review (contributor-backlog lane), head eb74613404. Please see the review on #7918: the suggestion is to fold this writer half into #7918 as a single reader and writer refactor, without the literal-guard test, and to land it once the owner answers the #7345 retention question. I am holding this one until then and not reviewing it separately.

[MarcTCruz]

Folded into #7918 as the maintainer asked (2026-11-09): one reader and writer PR, no literal-guard test, current dev merged. Closing this one.
