Review scope: read-only existing-session preflight. This PR adds bounded codex_resume_thread preflight only. It sends no thread/resume, cannot run queued work and must not be presented as a working automatic-resume capability. It is not a dependency of #8090.
The active bridge workflow uses a Codex conversation opened/resumed by its native owner, then the existing queue/read tools and #8090's now-merged bounded wait. Claude client integration can proceed independently. This PR can be reviewed as read-only preflight; automatic execution is a separate future feature, not a requirement or enabled capability of this change.
Sequential parsing consumes values before recognizing standalone grants. A trusted existing local Unix App Server must report the configured canonical Codex home. An exact normalized UUID receives metadata-only lookup; an observed idle/active target returns already_loaded, and an unhealthy target refuses. For an unloaded target, managed requirements and unverifiable/unavailable profiles refuse. One bounded catalog page of at most 50 entries is checked in the private target cwd. Even after successful permission verification, the result is not_resumed / resume_atomicity_unsupported. The profile is host configuration, not a tool-controlled grant. No guessed future capability or conditional field is sent.
Native dependency
The atomicity finding is real for the checked Codex 0.166.0 behavior. After metadata preflight, another client can load and unsubscribe from the target. The native mismatch branch may shut down/remove an unsubscribed idle cache entry and cold-resume using the supplied permissions; only the later branch ignores overrides if replacement did not occur. A second client-side read or this host's UUID lock cannot make an unloaded-only condition atomic.
The native race was reproduced in a temporary home/offline model fixture. A separate test confirmed the blocked handler retained the unloaded target and queue without another model request. Production RPC has no thread/resume in its allowlist. The immediate unsafe-write finding is addressed by removing the resume request. Automatic resume remains explicitly deferred in the project roadmap; closing that finding for this read-only scope does not claim a native atomic-resume implementation.
Before execution can return, require a real native API that atomically refuses loaded targets before overrides/replacement, an explicit unsupported-server failure contract, native race regressions, and owner/security acceptance. Version labels and post-write profile acknowledgements do not establish that guarantee. Source and docs state this pending contract without pretending the API already exists.
Current follow-up
Same-thread overlap is now rejected before shared admission. Duplicate refusals consume no slot, including when all four slots are busy. Closing still follows the existing closing response; every reserved key is released in finally, including admission failure. The factory description, source comment and MCP instructions consistently describe preflight-only access. Both minor CodeRabbit findings are fixed and resolved. The remaining unsafe-write finding is addressed by the unconditional execution refusal and is resolved for the read-only scope; native execution requirements remain future work.
The tool remains read-only with executionVerified: false. No new session, turn, permission change, message or approval answer is sent. Default queue/read and remote-peer connections gain no execution access. Existing socket trust, 20-second budget, ten-second RPC / 1 MiB frame bounds and four-operation limit remain. Disconnect closes only the owned connection. This is groundwork for #6478, not completion of execution, Claude integration, SSH or automatic delivery.
Verification
Current head 0f4c012bb44036a883e91f2df2904e62e2095b8f, tree 1945e346518894ce07afc90a527cce5d3bf7b9df, includes dev 87e005f93c2ceafa6472f3d4bb56caa8b12fbfdf. The published tree equals the validated local merge tree. This refresh integrates merged #8090, retaining the wait tool, its documentation, the import-inertness coverage, and both resume-test inventory entries. No execution capability was enabled. Bun 1.4.4 / macOS.
With a freshly created private XDG runtime directory, bun run test:changed --parallel=2: 2,462 passed / 3 skipped / 0 failed, 92 files, 216.45 seconds. The private runtime was removed after the run.

The previous base refresh initially encountered a test-runtime directory failure and timeout. The isolated rerun on that base passed; the current head is verified separately above using the same private-runtime approach.
Existing native Codex 0.166.0 disposable race/refusal evidence remains applicable to the unchanged refusal path; it was not rerun for a dev merge. It used a temporary home, synthetic conversation and offline local provider, with no user history/credentials or external model requests, and reaped owned resources. It establishes refusal/queue preservation, not a working automatic-resume feature.
The full local suite was not rerun. The earlier full attempt took 803 seconds with active-session/platform constraints; this pass refreshes the base and reviews the existing read-only scope. Fresh changed-graph and explicit MCP/CLI/layout regressions are the documented local scope exception. Broader/platform verification remains with required exact-head CI. Approval-pending CI is not a pass; no per-PR lane=all dispatch is requested.
Ready for Review requests independent review of the read-only preflight proposal. It is not merge approval, an independent security approval, or completion of automatic resume. Required CI and maintainer/owner review must still succeed before merge. Any future permission/execution changes require their own native guarantee, validation and explicit security review.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an opt-in MCP tool to check whether an existing thread can meet specified resume and permission requirements through a trusted local server.
The check does not resume threads: loaded threads are refused, and unloaded threads return resume_atomicity_unsupported. No conversation or turn is started, and permissions are not changed.
Resume checks require explicit configuration, including a local socket and permission profile; overlapping checks for the same thread are refused.
Documentation
Updated CLI and messaging guides with setup requirements, limitations, and safety behavior.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The MCP queue host adds an opt-in thread-resume preflight tool. It checks the configured local server, thread state, and permission profile. It does not send thread/resume; unloaded targets return not_resumed with resume_atomicity_unsupported.
The CLI accepts --allow-resume, --resume-socket, and --resume-permissions. The queue host registers codex_resume_thread only when the required options are valid. Tests cover parsing, registration, same-thread overlap, and cleanup.
The resume path checks the server’s reported home, thread state, and selected permission profile. Loaded targets return already_loaded; unloaded targets return not_resumed with resume_atomicity_unsupported. The path does not send thread/resume. Tests cover validation, refusal cases, cancellation, and connection cleanup.
The references document the opt-in requirements and execution-blocked behavior. They distinguish the resume connection from default queue/read and remote-peer RPC access. The English CLI reference narrows the app-server helper description to queue, metadata, and stored-read calls.
lidge-jun/opencodex#7999: Adds the MCP queue host and CLI parser extended here with resume options and a separate tool.
Suggested labels:review-ready
Suggested reviewers:phillipod
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 0f4c0
This change adds an opt-in resume preflight that never resumes a thread or runs queued work. Copying the documented example would also enable stored reply reading, and the docs do not name the preflight tool or its input. These are small documentation fixes to make before merge. Exact-head CI is still pending.

Please re-review exact head a48d40c, especially the permission redesign addressing discussion_r4500641810. Resume now requires a new host-configured --resume-permissions grant; it no longer claims to preserve saved permissions. It refuses managed requirements, verifies one bounded allowed-profile catalog page, pins the exact native permissions ID and validates the acknowledged active profile. No tool-selected grants or unpinned fallback retries are allowed.
On isolated Codex 0.166.0 with a full-access default and a named read-only profile, deleting that profile caused both preflight refusal and rejection of a direct pinned native resume, retaining the unloaded thread and queue. Restoring the profile allowed the handler to resume and the queued synthetic turn to complete through an offline local model. Owned resources were reaped; no user history or external model calls were used. Details, limitations and fresh 2,430-pass changed-graph / 29-pass focused validation are in the rewritten PR description. The branch includes dev 0627a2c.

Parse arguments sequentially so a flag-shaped profile value cannot grant resume

Add regressions for grant-like values and grants following option values.
Fixed the CLI option-value/grant finding at exact head 9703493. The parser now consumes each option value sequentially before recognizing standalone read/resume grants, rejects stray tokens, and preserves duplicate/required-group validation independently of argument order. The two new regressions failed before the fix and now pass, including flag-shaped profile IDs and grants following option values.
Fresh validation: changed graph 2,432 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail (90 files); explicit CLI/MCP/resume regressions 36 pass; typecheck, structure, privacy and staged diff checks pass. Current dev 0627a2c remains included; the published tree equals tested staged content. Please re-review the parser follow-up.

I reviewed the full diff at 9703493c against merge base 0627a2c2: 20 files, source, tests and docs. This was an ordinary correctness review, not the security review the description asks for.
What I checked:
Grant parsing.parseQueueMcpArgs now consumes option values in order before it recognizes the standalone --allow-reply-read / --allow-resume grants. A flag-shaped profile value is consumed as a value and cannot grant anything. Socket and profile without --allow-resume (or the reverse) is rejected. Tests cover this in tests/cli/cli-message-mcp-resume.test.ts.
Transport.connectForResume reuses LocalMessageRpc.connect, so localSocket / trustedSocketPath still accept only Unix sockets with StrictModes checks. It then requires the codexHome reported by initialize to realpath-match the configured home. Default connect connections keep allowResume = false.
Preflight order.thread/read → refuse systemError / leave loaded threads → configRequirements/read must be requirements: null → one bounded permissionProfile/list page in the target cwd → one thread/resume with permissions pinned. Any failure before the write is not_resumed. Rejection, mismatch or disconnect after the write is unknown, with no retry.
Concurrency. A per-UUID overlap guard, plus the shared four-slot admission.
On the open CodeRabbit thread (r4504436210, "make the unloaded check atomic"): against the cited Codex rust-v0.166.0, I don't think the concern holds as written.
thread_resume_inner first refuses a thread that is pending unload (thread_closing_for_resume).
It then calls resume_running_thread under the thread-list permit. Any thread get_thread can see, idle or running, takes that path.
On that path, collect_resume_override_mismatches records "permissions override was provided and ignored while running". The live thread keeps its own profile.
So if another client loads the thread between our thread/read and thread/resume, the explicit profile is not applied to it. The response's activePermissionProfile is the live thread's. When it differs from the host profile, this PR reports unknown / resume_profile_mismatch and does not retry. A same-profile race reports resumed for a thread that was already loaded, which is harmless.
Please reply in that thread with this evidence, or with your own, before marking it resolved. Also state in structure/local-messaging.md that the guarantee depends on this native behavior, and name the version it was checked against. An older or newer server that applied permissions to a loaded thread would break the "loaded targets are left alone" invariant.
Not approving:
No CI on this head.Cross-platform CI and Catalog async contracts are action_required, so no test run is bound to 9703493c.
Security-boundary change. This adds an execution grant: it can start queued work under a host-selected permission profile. Per MAINTAINERS.md it needs explicit security review, and that is still pending. The owner should also decide whether OpenCodex should ship this capability.
The branch is 9 commits behind dev. Please rebase before the final review.
Remove unconditional thread/resume from the RPC allowlist. Keep bounded home,
state and permission preflight but refuse unloaded execution with
resume_atomicity_unsupported. Native 0.166.0 can replace an unsubscribed idle
thread loaded after preflight; a client-side recheck cannot close that race.
Refresh dev, document the execution hold, and test refusal during peer loading.

feat(messaging): add opt-in existing-server Codex resume
feat(messaging): stage resume preflight pending native atomicity
Nov 8, 2026
Head 4d2c525 now fails closed: thread/resume was removed from the client RPC allowlist. Existing bounded home/state/profile preflight is retained, but a verified unloaded target returns not_resumed / resume_atomicity_unsupported. This is an execution hold, not a claim that working resume is complete; the PR is intentionally Draft pending native atomic conditional resume and owner/security review.
The complete native evidence is in the rewritten description and structure/local-messaging.md. In rust-v0.166.0, resume_running_thread lines 4702–4732 can shut down and replace an unsubscribed idle cache entry on override mismatch; only the later branch ignores overrides. The unsafe case was reproduced in an isolated native/offline fixture. A separate native test of the fixed handler retained the unloaded target and queue with no additional model request. All owned resources were reaped. The peer-load regression failed on the old implementation and passes on the fix.
Latest dev fabc69e is included. Fresh validation: changed graph 2,428 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail; explicit regressions 179 pass; type/structure/privacy/surface and docs build pass. Please verify the refusal and updated pending contract. The open atomicity thread remains open for reviewer confirmation; no unconditional resume workaround is being proposed.

Reviewed head: 11b8dc692a6641d2ce80d7c430c219881d6fe78b, a maintainer merge of current dev (aa30ea9d) into the contributor head 0f4c012b. The only conflict was the test-layout map and its expected fixture; both resume entries are kept.
UX change: nothing changes unless --allow-resume --resume-socket <abs> --resume-permissions <profile> are all passed. With them, MCP clients see one extra read-only tool, codex_resume_thread. Loaded targets return already_loaded; unloaded targets always return not_resumed / resume_atomicity_unsupported.
Atomic permission guarantee before work runs: this is met because no work can run. The resume path sends only initialize, thread/read, configRequirements/read and permissionProfile/list. No thread/resume, turn/start, queue write, permission change or approval answer exists on it; both final reviews confirmed this by intercepting the wire. Execution stays blocked until native Codex offers an atomic unloaded-only resume.
Regression risk for existing users: low. Default ocx message mcp registers the same tools as before. Every well-formed existing argument order parses identically (differential sweep). The parser now rejects 16 malformed orders that dev accepted, which is the safer direction.
Windows: no impact. ocx message mcp already refuses on win32, and the resume path uses Unix sockets only.
Final-head reviews (DeepSeek combo/deepseek-flash-pool): correctness PASS (372 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail, P3 notes only) and a separate security review PASS (test:changed 2,550 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail plus 27 adversarial probes; P3 hardening notes only). The hardening notes are worth doing before any execution path is enabled: a runtime method allowlist, a resume-only connection type, and full pagination of the profile catalog. Exact-head CI: all 33 checks passed.

Summary
Review scope: read-only existing-session preflight. This PR adds bounded
codex_resume_threadpreflight only. It sends nothread/resume, cannot run queued work and must not be presented as a working automatic-resume capability. It is not a dependency of #8090.The active bridge workflow uses a Codex conversation opened/resumed by its native owner, then the existing queue/read tools and #8090's now-merged bounded wait. Claude client integration can proceed independently. This PR can be reviewed as read-only preflight; automatic execution is a separate future feature, not a requirement or enabled capability of this change.
All three resume arguments expose preflight only:
Sequential parsing consumes values before recognizing standalone grants. A trusted existing local Unix App Server must report the configured canonical Codex home. An exact normalized UUID receives metadata-only lookup; an observed idle/active target returns
already_loaded, and an unhealthy target refuses. For an unloaded target, managed requirements and unverifiable/unavailable profiles refuse. One bounded catalog page of at most 50 entries is checked in the private target cwd. Even after successful permission verification, the result isnot_resumed / resume_atomicity_unsupported. The profile is host configuration, not a tool-controlled grant. No guessed future capability or conditional field is sent.Native dependency
The atomicity finding is real for the checked Codex 0.166.0 behavior. After metadata preflight, another client can load and unsubscribe from the target. The native mismatch branch may shut down/remove an unsubscribed idle cache entry and cold-resume using the supplied permissions; only the later branch ignores overrides if replacement did not occur. A second client-side read or this host's UUID lock cannot make an unloaded-only condition atomic.
The native race was reproduced in a temporary home/offline model fixture. A separate test confirmed the blocked handler retained the unloaded target and queue without another model request. Production RPC has no thread/resume in its allowlist. The immediate unsafe-write finding is addressed by removing the resume request. Automatic resume remains explicitly deferred in the project roadmap; closing that finding for this read-only scope does not claim a native atomic-resume implementation.
Before execution can return, require a real native API that atomically refuses loaded targets before overrides/replacement, an explicit unsupported-server failure contract, native race regressions, and owner/security acceptance. Version labels and post-write profile acknowledgements do not establish that guarantee. Source and docs state this pending contract without pretending the API already exists.
Current follow-up
Same-thread overlap is now rejected before shared admission. Duplicate refusals consume no slot, including when all four slots are busy. Closing still follows the existing closing response; every reserved key is released in finally, including admission failure. The factory description, source comment and MCP instructions consistently describe preflight-only access. Both minor CodeRabbit findings are fixed and resolved. The remaining unsafe-write finding is addressed by the unconditional execution refusal and is resolved for the read-only scope; native execution requirements remain future work.
The tool remains read-only with
executionVerified: false. No new session, turn, permission change, message or approval answer is sent. Default queue/read and remote-peer connections gain no execution access. Existing socket trust, 20-second budget, ten-second RPC / 1 MiB frame bounds and four-operation limit remain. Disconnect closes only the owned connection. This is groundwork for #6478, not completion of execution, Claude integration, SSH or automatic delivery.Verification

The earlier full attempt took 803 seconds with active-session/platform constraints; this pass refreshes the base and reviews the existing read-only scope. Fresh changed-graph and explicit MCP/CLI/layout regressions are the documented local scope exception. Broader/platform verification remains with required exact-head CI. Approval-pending CI is not a pass; no per-PR lane=all dispatch is requested.
Ready for Review requests independent review of the read-only preflight proposal. It is not merge approval, an independent security approval, or completion of automatic resume. Required CI and maintainer/owner review must still succeed before merge. Any future permission/execution changes require their own native guarantee, validation and explicit security review.
Checklist
Review readiness checklist
This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:
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.
