fix(link): show a Child's tunnel state in ocx connect status - #8496
A Home-initiated Remote Link drops whenever the Child laptop sleeps. On the Child, ocx connect status read only the durable connection record. It kept printing Connection: connected (and Local Codex CLI: ready) while every relayed request failed with 503 home_unreachable, so a person checking the Child could not tell why Codex was failing (#8470).
The running Child already computes the link verdict for its own /readyz. ocx connect status now asks the identity-checked live client listener for it (pid and port must match the healthz probe) and prints one more line right after the local verdict:
Connection: connected
Local Codex CLI: ready (it accepts every reasoning level in the installed catalog).
Link tunnel: down (home_unreachable)
Transport: link
...
up, down (<reason>), or unknown (runtime_not_running | runtime_unreadable | link_unverified).
Reasons are accepted only from LINK_READINESS_REASONS (now a runtime list in src/client/link-readiness.ts), so nothing else a listener returns reaches the terminal.
If /readyz answers link_unverified (its preflight was still running), the status re-reads once, 5.25 s after the first read began. That lands after the preflight's 5 s bound and inside its 5 s cached verdict, so it reads the settled answer without starting a second Home probe.
A probe that fails for any reason degrades to unknown (runtime_unreadable); the status command never fails on this optional diagnostic.
--json gains an additive linkTunnel field. state keeps its meaning, so GOAT and other readers of state: "connected" are unaffected. Hub clients get no new field.
This PR does not change how fast the Home reconnects after the laptop wakes. That retry cadence (HOME_TUNNEL_RETRY_POLICY, 60→300 s) is a policy decision raised on the issue, which stays open for it.
tests/clients/link-tunnel-status.test.ts (new; failed on origin/dev because the probe did not exist): down, up, no runtime, non-client listener, forged reason, pid mismatch, a link_unverified re-read, a preflight that never settles, line placement, no line for hub clients, and the wiring gate. 10 pass.
Review round 1 (accepted): the re-read had been timed from the first read's return, which could miss the cached verdict. It is now timed from the first read's start (the test asserts the exact wait), and the transport === "link" gate is withLinkTunnelStatus, tested to probe only a connected link Child, once.
bun test tests/clients/link-tunnel-status.test.ts tests/clients/link-readiness.test.ts tests/cli/cli-connect-readiness.test.ts: 45 pass, 0 fail.
bun run test:changed: 1447 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail.
bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check: pass. Layout, ratchet, Lab, and structure guards: 114 pass. The new test is registered in layout-clients.json and test-layout-expected.json.
structure/remote-link.md and the Remote Link guide describe the new line.
Review: hyds/deepseek round 1 FAIL (re-read timing, untested wiring), both fixed; fresh final PASS at 10e8917, delta PASS on the doc-only head. CodeRabbit follow-ups: probe failure degrades to unknown, reason passes terminalSafeText, unknown line tested, CLI reference (reference/cli/lifecycle.md) mentions the line.
NOT RUN: full bun run test; a real sleeping-laptop Child (the verdict path is the existing /readyz logic, already covered by link-readiness.test.ts).
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.
The change adds a probe that reads a Child’s /readyz endpoint for connected link clients. ocx connect status reports the result in text and JSON. Documentation describes the status values and distinguishes tunnel availability from machine connection status.

Summary
Readiness contract and tunnel probe src/client/link-readiness.ts, src/client/link-tunnel-status.ts, tests/clients/link-tunnel-status.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout-clients.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
The probe validates /readyz responses against the allowed readiness reasons. It reports up, down, or unknown, and reads again when the first result is down/link_unverified. Tests cover these results, retry behavior, and test-layout mappings.
Status command and output src/cli/connect.ts, tests/clients/link-tunnel-status.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md, structure/remote-link.md
The status command probes connected link clients and adds the result to text and JSON output. Tests verify link-client output and confirm that hub clients omit the tunnel line. Documentation describes the status values and their relationship to connection state.

Value: a Child that slept no longer looks healthy from its own status. The operator sees Link tunnel: down (home_unreachable) next to Connection: connected.
UX change scope: one added line in ocx connect status for link Children and an additive linkTunnel JSON field. state keeps its meaning, so GOAT and scripts that read it are unaffected.
Existing users: hub clients and disconnected machines print exactly what they did before. The status command now makes one local loopback request to the identity-checked Child listener. In the worst case, a preflight that has not settled, it waits about 5 s more.
Windows: loopback fetch through directLocalHttpFetch and the existing findLiveProxy; nothing platform-specific.

Retry before the completed preflight verdict expires
For a Home-initiated link whose preflight consistently takes about 600 ms, this retry misses the cached verdict and reports unknown (link_unverified) even when the tunnel is healthy. createHomeInitiatedLinkReadiness returns link_unverified after 500 ms and caches the eventual verdict for 5,000 ms, but this code then waits another 5,250 ms: the first verdict has already expired when the second read starts, so it launches another preflight and again returns before completion. This also hides a settled failure under the same timing conditions. Schedule the retry within the cache window while still allowing the original five-second preflight deadline to elapse, and add coverage that exercises the real readiness cache rather than only sequential mocked responses.

The reason `client_state_changed` means the running Child's saved connection is missing or now names another owner or link. Its machine and link status endpoints also return `503` with this reason. Stop or restart the Child and check its connection before re-linking; this readiness result does not itself disconnect the relay.
`ocx connect status` on a Child prints the same verdict as a `Link tunnel:` line under the local Codex CLI line: `up`, `down (<reason>)` with one of the reasons above, or `unknown` when no Child runtime is running (`runtime_not_running`), its answer could not be read (`runtime_unreadable`), or the Home check had not settled after one retry (`link_unverified`). `--json` carries it as `linkTunnel`. `Connection: connected` keeps meaning that this machine is linked; a Child whose laptop slept shows `Connection: connected` with `Link tunnel: down (home_unreachable)` until the Home reconnects the tunnel.
Add translated pages or confirm they are intentionally deferred.
This paragraph documents new ocx connect status output (Link tunnel: line, linkTunnel JSON field). The path instructions require locale pages (ja, ko, ru, zh-cn) to avoid contradicting the English source. The English text now adds behavior the locale guides do not describe. This is an omission, not a contradiction.
Also, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md says it does not specify connect-status tunnel display. Add a short ocx connect status note there so the CLI reference matches this guide.

Pass the reason through terminalSafeText or narrow it at the type level.
linkTunnelLine prints tunnel.reason as-is. Today the type restricts reasons to fixed words. printData also applies terminalSafeText to every line, so there is no escape-sequence risk now. The line is only safe because of two upstream layers. Wrapping the reason locally, as readinessLine does for readinessReason, keeps this function safe if the vocabulary grows.

Handle probe failure so status cannot fail on an optional diagnostic.
probeLinkTunnelStatus catches its own errors. An injected or future probeLinkTunnel can still reject. A rejection here propagates through runCliAction and aborts the whole ocx connect status command. The durable connection record is then not printed.
Source rules say optional integrations must degrade through the existing failure representation rather than crash the request path. Wrap the probe call and fall back to { state: "unknown", reason: "runtime_unreadable" }.

Worst-case status latency is about 9 s, and --json consumers get no progress signal.
The first read() can take up to READ_TIMEOUT_MS (2 s). If it returns link_unverified, the code waits PREFLIGHT_SETTLE_MS (5.25 s, per LINK_RELAY_AUTH_TIMEOUT_MS + 250). The second read() can take another 2 s. The total is about 9.25 s of silent blocking in ocx connect status.
The wait is bounded and the behavior is documented, so this is not a defect. Consider printing a short stderr hint before the delay when stderr is a TTY. This keeps --json stdout clean and tells interactive users the command has not hung.
The margin of 250 ms is also not mentioned in structure/remote-link.md Line 87, which says only "re-reads once after the preflight bound". Add the margin there, or state that the wait slightly exceeds the bound.

`src/client/link-relay.ts` forwards exactly the `linkRouteAllowed` routes from `src/link/routes.ts` through the tunnel. It drops the caller's `Authorization`, Azure `api-key`, Anthropic-compatible `x-api-key`, Google `x-goog-api-key`, `x-opencodex-api-key`, `chatgpt-account-id` and `cookie` and sends the link key as `Authorization: Bearer`, the wire an `env_key` config sent; `GET /v1/usage` takes it as `x-opencodex-api-key`, the only header that route admits. The explicit provider forms matter because the Child and Home are separate credential owners: caller provider credentials never cross the tunnel merely because they are not Bearer tokens. The Home admits the link key and serves the Child with its own accounts. The request body is streamed chunk by chunk with the caller's `Content-Length` and a byte-counting cap at the inbound limit (`resolveInboundBodyLimitBytes`, 256 MiB by default); a larger declared or streamed body answers 413. A lone `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` without `Content-Length` is admitted as a standalone admits it, because the listener has already de-chunked the body; any other Transfer-Encoding, or one next to a `Content-Length`, answers 400. The Home's response headers may take up to 300 seconds, and a caller abort ends the wait sooner. SSE passes through chunk by chunk with caller-abort propagation and a 300-second idle limit, other response bodies stream under the same byte cap, and the relay answers 503 with Retry-After while the tunnel is down. The client supervisor is the relay's tunnel gate (`LinkTunnelGate`): only while the tunnel is connecting or reconnecting (including the start of the client runtime) does a relayed request wait, for at most 15 seconds (`LINK_RELAY_HOLD_MS`) from its first wait and with at most 64 requests waiting, before it is forwarded once; a connected tunnel costs one `pending()` call per request, and a failed one answers 503 at once. A forward whose connection was refused sent nothing, so while the tunnel reconnects it may wait again and be sent again inside the same 15 seconds, provided the streamed body was never read or cancelled; any other failure (a reset, a timeout, a failure after the body started) is never replayed. Both the Child's machine listener and the Home's hub-link listener bind with `idleTimeout: 255`, the public listener's limit, so a held or slow turn is not cut by Bun's 10-second default. Like a standalone data route, a relayed request then lifts its own idle timer (`server.timeout(req, 0)` in `src/client/link-ingress.ts`), so a quiet stretch longer than 255 seconds inside a long generation is not cut either; the relay's header deadline, SSE idle limit and caller abort bound the wait instead. Hub transport keeps the 4 MiB management-relay listener bound and its default idle limit. Link mode waits for the configured port without signalling its holder, then binds there or fails; `src/client/runtime.ts` passes the cached link key, tunnel status and tunnel gate through `bindClientListener` to every bind attempt. Link mode replaces the hub management relay with the read-only link management relay (see [Child management relay and Home Codex settings](#child-management-relay-and-home-codex-settings)) and refuses key rotation and revocation, which belong to the Home.
`src/client/link-readiness.ts` gives a link-mode Child's `GET /readyz` its verdict; `/healthz` keeps meaning only that the process answers. While relayed requests cannot be served, or the saved client owner or link differs from the runtime snapshot, `/readyz` answers `503` with `Retry-After: 1`, `status: "pending"` and `link: { state: "unavailable", reason }`, which the strict readiness contract in `src/server/proxy-liveness.ts` reads as ours and not ready; otherwise `200`, `status: "ready"` and `link: { state: "available" }`. A reason is one fixed word. A Child-initiated link reads its supervisor: connected is ready unless the keyed probe last saw `home_unreachable` or `unauthorized` (`home_not_ready` stays ready, because relayed requests do not depend on the Home's own startup readiness); connecting, reconnecting and a failed state with a retry in flight read `tunnel_connecting`, failed `tunnel_failed`, idle or stopped `tunnel_idle`, an unreadable sidecar `sidecar_invalid`. A Home-initiated link has no local tunnel to inspect, so it runs `probeLinkRelayPreflight` from `src/client/link-relay-transport.ts`: the credential-free challenge every relayed request starts with, on its own connection, without a link key, data request or body, and without reading the response body. It sends `x-opencodex-link-probe: 1` (`LINK_RELAY_PROBE_HEADER`), so the Home verifies and answers without reserving a session (see the reservation book below). A verified proof is ready, no answer within the five-second authentication deadline is `home_unreachable`, any other answer `link_auth_failed`, and a missing link key `link_credential_unavailable` with nothing sent. One preflight runs at a time, its verdict is reused for five seconds, and `/readyz` waits at most 500 ms for a running one before it answers `link_unverified`, so an unauthenticated local caller causes at most one preflight every five seconds. A link with neither a supervisor nor a Home-initiated gate reads `tunnel_unavailable`. Restart handoff and the update job judge a replacement by `/healthz`, so a Child whose Home is down still restarts.

Split this paragraph and name the new contract in a section of its own.
Line 87 now carries the readiness contract, both initiator modes, the preflight, and the ocx connect status reader behavior. It is very long. This makes the contract hard to review and edit. The structure/ rules ask for one clear statement per contract, with links instead of drift-prone repetition.
Move the ocx connect status sentences into a short heading such as "Connect status tunnel line". Add the 250 ms settle margin there. Then src/client/link-tunnel-status.ts and src/cli/connect.ts are cited in one place.

linkTunnelLine in src/cli/connect.ts has three outcomes: up, down, and unknown. This test pins only down and up. The unknown (<reason>) line is the one users see when the Child is asleep or stopped, so a regression there would go unnoticed. Add this assertion:
The new handleConnectCommand branch that probes only for connected + link transport has no test either. Add one that injects probeLinkTunnel and asserts linkTunnel appears in the --json output only for link transport.

A Home-initiated Remote Link drops whenever the Child laptop sleeps. The Child's
ocx connect status read only the durable connection record, so it kept saying
"Connection: connected" (and the local Codex CLI "ready") while every relayed
request failed with 503 home_unreachable.
The running Child already computes the link verdict for its own /readyz. The
status command now asks the identity-checked live client listener for it and
prints "Link tunnel: up", "down (<reason>)" or "unknown (<reason>)" right after
the local verdict; --json carries it as linkTunnel. Reasons are accepted only
from the fixed LINK_READINESS_REASONS list, and a link_unverified answer is
re-read once after the preflight bound. Connection state keeps its meaning.
Refs #8470
Review of #8496: after a link_unverified answer the status command waited the
preflight bound plus 250 ms from when the first read RETURNED. A preflight that
finished early had its 5 s cached verdict expire first, so the second read
started a new Home probe and printed unknown again. The re-read is now timed
5.25 s after the first read began, which always falls after the preflight's
5 s bound and inside its cached verdict. The status wiring moves into
withLinkTunnelStatus, tested so only a connected link Child is probed, once.
Review follow-ups on #8496 (CodeRabbit): a probe that throws now reports
unknown (runtime_unreadable) instead of aborting the status command, the
reason passes through terminalSafeText at the line too, the unknown line is
tested, and the CLI reference mentions the Link tunnel line.

- Line 87: Update the `ocx connect status` documentation to describe
`linkTunnel` as an object with a `state` field of `up`, `down`, or `unknown`,
and note that non-`up` results include a `reason`; do not imply that
`linkTunnel` itself is a string.

`src/client/link-relay.ts` forwards exactly the `linkRouteAllowed` routes from `src/link/routes.ts` through the tunnel. It drops the caller's `Authorization`, Azure `api-key`, Anthropic-compatible `x-api-key`, Google `x-goog-api-key`, `x-opencodex-api-key`, `chatgpt-account-id` and `cookie` and sends the link key as `Authorization: Bearer`, the wire an `env_key` config sent; `GET /v1/usage` takes it as `x-opencodex-api-key`, the only header that route admits. The explicit provider forms matter because the Child and Home are separate credential owners: caller provider credentials never cross the tunnel merely because they are not Bearer tokens. The Home admits the link key and serves the Child with its own accounts. The request body is streamed chunk by chunk with the caller's `Content-Length` and a byte-counting cap at the inbound limit (`resolveInboundBodyLimitBytes`, 256 MiB by default); a larger declared or streamed body answers 413. A lone `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` without `Content-Length` is admitted as a standalone admits it, because the listener has already de-chunked the body; any other Transfer-Encoding, or one next to a `Content-Length`, answers 400. The Home's response headers may take up to 300 seconds, and a caller abort ends the wait sooner. SSE passes through chunk by chunk with caller-abort propagation and a 300-second idle limit, other response bodies stream under the same byte cap, and the relay answers 503 with Retry-After while the tunnel is down. The client supervisor is the relay's tunnel gate (`LinkTunnelGate`): only while the tunnel is connecting or reconnecting (including the start of the client runtime) does a relayed request wait, for at most 15 seconds (`LINK_RELAY_HOLD_MS`) from its first wait and with at most 64 requests waiting, before it is forwarded once; a connected tunnel costs one `pending()` call per request, and a failed one answers 503 at once. A forward whose connection was refused sent nothing, so while the tunnel reconnects it may wait again and be sent again inside the same 15 seconds, provided the streamed body was never read or cancelled; any other failure (a reset, a timeout, a failure after the body started) is never replayed. Both the Child's machine listener and the Home's hub-link listener bind with `idleTimeout: 255`, the public listener's limit, so a held or slow turn is not cut by Bun's 10-second default. Like a standalone data route, a relayed request then lifts its own idle timer (`server.timeout(req, 0)` in `src/client/link-ingress.ts`), so a quiet stretch longer than 255 seconds inside a long generation is not cut either; the relay's header deadline, SSE idle limit and caller abort bound the wait instead. Hub transport keeps the 4 MiB management-relay listener bound and its default idle limit. Link mode waits for the configured port without signalling its holder, then binds there or fails; `src/client/runtime.ts` passes the cached link key, tunnel status and tunnel gate through `bindClientListener` to every bind attempt. Link mode replaces the hub management relay with the read-only link management relay (see [Child management relay and Home Codex settings](#child-management-relay-and-home-codex-settings)) and refuses key rotation and revocation, which belong to the Home.
`src/client/link-readiness.ts` gives a link-mode Child's `GET /readyz` its verdict; `/healthz` keeps meaning only that the process answers. While relayed requests cannot be served, or the saved client owner or link differs from the runtime snapshot, `/readyz` answers `503` with `Retry-After: 1`, `status: "pending"` and `link: { state: "unavailable", reason }`, which the strict readiness contract in `src/server/proxy-liveness.ts` reads as ours and not ready; otherwise `200`, `status: "ready"` and `link: { state: "available" }`. A reason is one fixed word. A Child-initiated link reads its supervisor: connected is ready unless the keyed probe last saw `home_unreachable` or `unauthorized` (`home_not_ready` stays ready, because relayed requests do not depend on the Home's own startup readiness); connecting, reconnecting and a failed state with a retry in flight read `tunnel_connecting`, failed `tunnel_failed`, idle or stopped `tunnel_idle`, an unreadable sidecar `sidecar_invalid`. A Home-initiated link has no local tunnel to inspect, so it runs `probeLinkRelayPreflight` from `src/client/link-relay-transport.ts`: the credential-free challenge every relayed request starts with, on its own connection, without a link key, data request or body, and without reading the response body. It sends `x-opencodex-link-probe: 1` (`LINK_RELAY_PROBE_HEADER`), so the Home verifies and answers without reserving a session (see the reservation book below). A verified proof is ready, no answer within the five-second authentication deadline is `home_unreachable`, any other answer `link_auth_failed`, and a missing link key `link_credential_unavailable` with nothing sent. One preflight runs at a time, its verdict is reused for five seconds, and `/readyz` waits at most 500 ms for a running one before it answers `link_unverified`, so an unauthenticated local caller causes at most one preflight every five seconds. A link with neither a supervisor nor a Home-initiated gate reads `tunnel_unavailable`. Restart handoff and the update job judge a replacement by `/healthz`, so a Child whose Home is down still restarts.

Document linkTunnel as an object.
src/cli/connect.ts:358-371 attaches a LinkTunnelStatus object, not a string. Its state field is up, down, or unknown; non-up results also carry a reason. Please name linkTunnel.state here so consumers do not compare linkTunnel directly with a string.

Summary
A Home-initiated Remote Link drops whenever the Child laptop sleeps. On the Child,
ocx connect statusread only the durable connection record. It kept printingConnection: connected(andLocal Codex CLI: ready) while every relayed request failed with503 home_unreachable, so a person checking the Child could not tell why Codex was failing (#8470).The running Child already computes the link verdict for its own
/readyz.ocx connect statusnow asks the identity-checked live client listener for it (pid and port must match the healthz probe) and prints one more line right after the local verdict:up,down (<reason>), orunknown (runtime_not_running | runtime_unreadable | link_unverified).LINK_READINESS_REASONS(now a runtime list insrc/client/link-readiness.ts), so nothing else a listener returns reaches the terminal./readyzanswerslink_unverified(its preflight was still running), the status re-reads once, 5.25 s after the first read began. That lands after the preflight's 5 s bound and inside its 5 s cached verdict, so it reads the settled answer without starting a second Home probe.unknown (runtime_unreadable); the status command never fails on this optional diagnostic.--jsongains an additivelinkTunnelfield.statekeeps its meaning, so GOAT and other readers ofstate: "connected"are unaffected. Hub clients get no new field.This PR does not change how fast the Home reconnects after the laptop wakes. That retry cadence (
HOME_TUNNEL_RETRY_POLICY, 60→300 s) is a policy decision raised on the issue, which stays open for it.Refs #8470
