docs(devlog): roadmap for Home-orchestrated Child updates and operations - #8500
Docs-only roadmap for Home-orchestrated Child updates and operations on Remote Link: devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/. No source, test or config file changes.
On an outdated Child, Home models with a 1M context show about 258k in Codex. The research in 001 traces that to Codex's 272,000 × 95% fallback for a model slug missing from the catalog it loaded. The Child copies the Home catalog verbatim, but two copies go stale: the Child's catalog file is refreshed only by a manual ocx sync, and a long-running Codex app-server keeps its startup catalog.
The roadmap answers that and the rest of the owner's request in nine phases, one PR each:
wp1–wp2: a version-gated remote ocx command, plus Child version, install kind and catalog freshness under ?children=1.
wp3: Home-driven check, sync, restart Codex and update jobs, with routes, ocx link verbs and capabilities.
wp4:ocx sync --child and --restart-children.
wp5: automatic catalog fan-out and the policy file.
wp6: the dashboard.
wp7: automatic idle updates to the Home's version.
wp8: Child-side reports and a Desktop update request.
wp9: the release.
000_plan.md records the decisions, amendments A1–A5 and how this narrows 261107 060/080 for Home-initiated links. The architect proposal, its reflection and two independent audit rounds are in 004 and 005. Round 1 failed; round 2 closed every blocker and passed.
After review on this PR, d17723c folds all 29 CodeRabbit findings and the Codex connector finding. Each changed doc carries a "Revision 4" note, and every thread has a reply. d6096cf fixes the final reviewer's one blocker: update recovery now gates on the plan's updateInFlight flag.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1c8cd
This change only adds planning documents, so nothing changes for users or production when it merges. The plans contain several design gaps and cross-phase contradictions, including restart safety, update identity binding, and routing recovery. Fixing them before implementation begins would avoid building flawed behavior, but they need not block merging the docs.

Restore Child routing after a verified update rollback
For an unsupervised Link Child whose update stops the runtime and then rolls back, the proposed runner returns here without restoring Home routing. The existing updater can return exit 11 after verifying that the previous version is healthy (src/update/orchestrated-outcome.mjs), but its recovery starts the runtime without reapplying integrations; src/client/stop-routing.ts explicitly requires a subsequent sync to restore routing. Consequently, implementing this plan would leave Codex using native routing after an otherwise successful rollback, while suppressedTarget prevents another automatic update attempt. Include a pinned post-recovery sync for verified rollback outcomes, retaining the failed update verdict and target suppression, and add a regression case for this path.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in d17723c: exit 11 maps to failed (010 :455-456), and every failed or rolled-back update now runs the pinned --expect-link sync right away to restore Home routing (030 :704-706). Uncertain outcomes resync only after a re-observe shows no update in flight (070 recover(), tightened in d6096cf).

- Around line 137-139: Update the restart flows described in
030_child_operations.md and 040_sync_loosening.md to prevent a relayed request
from starting after the activity check but before the Child restarts. Define a
per-link admission fence shared with the relay, acquire it atomically with the

uncertain. Preserve sync execution when an active request withholds a restart,
and add tests for requests arriving during restart and for timeout handling.
- Around line 188-190: Update runUpdateItem in 030_child_operations.md to
validate the Child’s Home and link identity before applying the update, and
ensure that identity remains valid through mutation so a disconnect or relink
cannot slip between validation and apply. Preserve the existing post-update sync
check as an additional safeguard; a standalone pre-update check is insufficient.

- Around line 386-388: Resolve the non-loopback Home CLI path for the operations
handled through the jobId routes in route-registry.ts: provide an authenticated
local transport that supports them without widening the local-control socket’s
status-only allowlist, or explicitly disable/remove CLI support for this
configuration. Preserve the existing socket security boundary and establish the
authentication mechanism before choosing the transport.
- Around line 358-360: Update phases 030 and 070 so the pinned `--expect-link`
sync runs after rollback and, for an uncertain update result, only after the
update is no longer in flight. Preserve rollback suppression and do not reapply
an uncertain update; retain the existing post-success sync behavior.

Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/020_signals_visibility.md:
- Around line 42-43: Update the `changedAt` revision design so catalog freshness
does not depend on file mtime; ensure `catalogVerdict` cannot treat a Child’s
earlier pull as having received a newly changed etag. Track the revision
delivered to each Child or establish another mechanism that reliably
distinguishes the new revision, and preserve wp5 scheduler detection of that
update.
- Line 187: Change the catalog pull tracking flow around onAuthenticatedCatalog
and catalogPulls.record so an authenticated GET alone does not advance pulledAt.
Record the catalog revision only after an explicit acknowledgement confirms the
Child received and applied it; ensure connection drops or sync failures leave
the Child eligible for the wp5 scheduler to retry.
Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/030_child_operations.md:
- Line 665: Update the import containing childObservationsPath to import it from
the paths module, where it is defined and exported; keep the other
child-observation functions imported from their existing module. Apply the same
correction to the corresponding import in 050_auto_catalog_fanout.md.
- Around line 636-638: Update the result branch that checks sync.state after the
child update so a failed post-update sync reports a partial or failed job
outcome instead of succeeded, ensuring the CLI does not exit successfully when
recovery is required. Preserve the successful update result and the existing
sync failure reason and hint so the recovery need remains actionable.
- Line 579: Update the return branch that checks observed.state and probe so a
succeeded observation with a null probe returns unsupported/ephemeral instead of
succeeded. Preserve the existing handling for other observation states and
non-null probes.
- Around line 356-357: Replace the per-job lane limits in execute with shared
engine-level concurrency controls so concurrent submissions collectively respect
the process-wide SSH-session cap and update-job limit. Add tests that submit
jobs concurrently and verify those bounds hold across execute calls.
- Line 500: Update the restartability decision around `restartable` to account
for the selected executable: identify `ocx-child` even when
`LinkRecord.childKind` is absent, and ensure it is not reported with
`restart.outcome: "requested"`. Preserve restart behavior for other eligible
records.
Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/040_sync_loosening.md:
- Line 220: Update the restart-support decision around the `link.childKind`
check to detect when the selected executable is `ocx-child`, even if a legacy
record omits `childKind`. Determine the selected executable before deciding
whether to send the restart flag, and preserve the unsupported-restart note for
that case.
- Line 222: Update the second status read using deps.readLinkStatus so a failure
does not retain the earlier idle snapshot as current. On failure, use the plain
sync path and report the activity-unknown restart-skipped outcome; preserve the
existing restart behavior when the re-read succeeds and confirms it is safe.
Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/050_auto_catalog_fanout.md:
- Around line 288-293: Update runSyncItem to recheck the Child’s idle state and
settings digest immediately before syncing; skip the item if it is active and
its settings no longer match, preserving the existing eligibility rule for both
plain and restart-enabled syncs.
- Around line 149-150: Update the policy loading fallback around
DEFAULT_CHILD_POLICY to keep fresh-install defaults for ENOENT, but fail closed
on other read or validation errors by disabling automatic catalog fanout and
updates until the policy is repaired.
- Around line 215-216: Update the legacy backoff entry created by the
owner-action branch to represent a null peerVersion as “version not yet known,”
rather than storing null with an infinite timeout. Adjust blocked to allow a
retry once the Child reports a version, while preserving the existing
version-based backoff behavior when a peer version is known.
Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/060_dashboard.md:
- Line 55: Update the ChildRestartOutcome union to include skipped, matching the
outcomes produced by the child-operation flow. In the dashboard mapping, handle
known outcomes explicitly and ensure unknown outcomes are not reported as
requested; update the progress test to use the producer’s actual outcomes.
- Around line 184-186: Update useChildJob and its consumer to expose the
job_not_found condition, display its message, and refresh status when the
missing job is detected. Represent the outcome as unknown rather than failed,
and avoid showing the retained snapshot as still running.
- Around line 138-139: Update the dashboard status-refresh flow so it discovers
active job IDs from the status rows and fetches their snapshots, rather than
populating childJob only from operation callbacks. Restore progress after reload
and when jobs start automatically, and ensure the result handles multiple active
jobs instead of displaying only one.
Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/070_auto_updates.md:
- Around line 196-199: Update the auto-update flow around backoff.attempts and
backoff.blocked to persist each link’s per-target attempt count after every
counted outcome, rather than waiting for the cap or backoff expiry. Restore
those counts on startup so restarting Home does not reset attempts for the same
target; use the existing persistence and startup-loading mechanisms without
changing the manual Update behavior.
- Line 173: Update createLinkBackoff so only outcomes in
UPDATE_ATTEMPT_CAP_STATES increment the attempt count; continue applying backoff
to transient outcomes such as busy and offline without letting them exhaust the
attempt cap.
- Around line 228-230: Update the recovery flow that iterates through
`env.readStore().links` so it does not rely on `lastOperation` to remember an
uncertain update. Persist the unresolved update and its recovery deadline
separately, restore the reobserve schedule from that state after restart, and
retain it until recovery completes so automatic updates remain blocked during
the promised no-reapply window.
Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/080_child_side_release.md:
- Around line 180-182: Change the child-side reporting behavior so a 404 does
not permanently disable updates: retry at a bounded interval or resume when the
Home reconnects or advertises support, while preserving the existing CHECK_MS
and PERIOD_MS rules. Add a test covering an old Home that initially returns 404
and later gains support, verifying that reporting resumes without restarting the
Child.
- Around line 369-372: Update the `start_poll` flow to handle errors from
`updater::check_and_show` before reading `page_status(&app).latest_version` or
calling `after_check`; retry the check or report a failed check instead of
treating stale or absent pending-update state as the result. Add a test covering
a failed updater check and verifying it is not reported as `not-available` or
based on an earlier check.
- Line 401: Update the polling state handling for `installing` so expiration of
the 20-minute window returns `uncertain`, not
`owner-action`/`desktop-app-not-polling`, when installation remains unresolved.
Retain the installation request ID and require reconciliation before issuing
another automatic request; preserve the existing timeout behavior for other
states.
Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/090_release.md:
- Around line 125-131: Update the `devReleaseVersion` command so its output is
assigned to `V` instead of only printed. Validate that `V` is non-empty, then
print it for the operator; preserve the existing version derivation inputs and
logic.
- Around line 170-173: Update the M11 release flow so the Remote Link section is
added to the generated release notes and verified before npm publication and
before the GitHub draft is published. Make both publication steps depend on that
check, while keeping the generated changelog from
scripts/build-release-changelog.ts unchanged and preserving the idempotent
behavior when the heading is already present.

Protect active turns after the activity check.
In 030_child_operations.md:501-502 and 040_sync_loosening.md:222-229, a relayed request can start after the activity check but before the Child restarts. The restart can interrupt that request.
Add a per-link admission fence shared by the relay and both restart paths. Acquire it atomically with the activity check, and define how it is released when remote completion is uncertain. Keep the sync running when an active request causes the restart to be withheld. Add tests for requests arriving during the restart and for timeout handling.

The check-to-restart gap was a whole sync, which is now fixed: the catalog sync runs first, activity is re-read, and only then is the restart sent as a near no-op second sync. A Home-side fence cannot make this atomic because the restart runs on the Child, and holding the request at the Home would not save that turn, so the remaining gap of one round trip is recorded in 000 A2 and 030 Section 10.
Fixed in d17723c (Revision 4 note in the affected docs).
@lidge-jun I verified the revised plan. 030_child_operations.md Line 552 and 040_sync_loosening.md Line 228 now specify a plain sync before the fresh activity check and restart.
The change narrows the race, but a request that starts after the check can still be interrupted. That residual risk is recorded in 030_child_operations.md Line 1410. I understand that you accept it; the original finding remains open because the race is not eliminated.

Bind the Child identity before applying an update.
In 030_child_operations.md, runUpdateItem applies the update before sync --expect-link checks linkId. If the Child disconnects or links to another Home while the old Home retains its record, the update can mutate the installation before the mismatch is reported.
Require a Child-side identity check that remains valid through mutation. A separate pre-update check alone would still permit a disconnect or relink before apply.

Agreed that checking only after the apply was too late: the update runner now starts with the Child's own expect-link check, and a disconnected or relinked Child is refused before anything changes. Holding the binding through the apply would need the Child's updater to take its link lock, which is a src/update change this unit excludes, so the short remaining gap is recorded in 000 and 030.
Fixed in d17723c (Revision 4 note in the affected docs).
@lidge-jun Thanks for adding the pre-update check. In the current plan, 030_child_operations.md Line 640 runs a pinned sync before the plan probe, and Line 1237 specifies a mismatch test.
The original finding remains open. As 000_plan.md Line 201 and 030_child_operations.md Line 1406 note, the Child can disconnect or relink after that check and before or during apply. The post-update check can report the mismatch, but it cannot prevent the mutation.
The implementation phase needs explicit security review. Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue to track holding the Child’s lifecycle lock from identity validation through apply?

Restore routing after rollback or an uncertain update.
030_child_operations.md:625-628 runs pinned sync only after success. After an unsupervised stop, a rollback or lost SSH result can leave Codex using native routing.

@lidge-jun Thanks for the update. The plan now covers the recovery sync after a failed or rolled-back apply and preserves rollback suppression.
Verification found one remaining gap:070_auto_updates.md, Line 233 allows the same target to become eligible after the recovery record expires. Lines 320–323 also allow another attempt after a successful recovery sync if the Child remains behind. That conflicts with the stated “never re-applied” rule. Expiry can also discard the recovery record before routing is restored.
Please keep the uncertain target blocked from automatic re-apply until an explicit manual action. Keep recovery state until the pinned sync succeeds, and add tests for expiry and for a Child that remains behind after recovery. Please request another check after the update.

Keep a timed-out installation uncertain.
If a Desktop download or installation lasts beyond the 20-minute window, installing becomes owner-action/desktop-app-not-polling even though the app is polling and may still complete the install. The Home then loses the uncertain-update recovery path. Return uncertain for an unresolved installation and retain its request ID for reconciliation before another automatic request.

@lidge-jun Thanks for the update. The roadmap now marks an installation that exceeds the window as uncertain and records its request ID.
One gap remains: 070_auto_updates.md Line 186 clears an expired recovery record, and Line 234 permits the link to become a candidate after expiry. 080_child_side_release.md Line 443 requires a status check only for an unexpired record. If an installation is still unresolved after expiry, a later automatic request can proceed without reconciling the prior request.
Please retain the Desktop request ID after expiry and require reconciliation before a new automatic request. Please also add a test for an unresolved installation that outlasts the recovery window.

Publish the disclosure with the release.
This step runs after npm publication and after the GitHub release becomes public. Users can upgrade before the default-on update and fan-out disclosures appear, and a failed notes edit can leave them absent. Put the section into the generated notes before publication and make publication depend on that check. The workflow publishes the draft before this step runs. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the M11 release flow so the Remote Link section is added to the generated
release notes and verified before npm publication and before the GitHub draft is
published. Make both publication steps depend on that check, while keeping the
generated changelog from scripts/build-release-changelog.ts unchanged and
preserving the idempotent behavior when the heading is already present.

Agreed: editing the body after publication left a window and could fail silently. The section now ships in the generated notes file the draft is created from, through a version-named highlights file the changelog script must render, and the release is not dispatched until a local render shows it.
Fixed in d17723c (Revision 4 note in the affected docs).
Final review r2 on #8500: 070 recover() read an updateReason value no observation holds; persist plan.updateInFlight on ChildObservation (010) and gate on it, keep Desktop recovery records until 080 status reconciliation clears them, renumber 060 tests.
Maintainer integration into dev under MAINTAINERS.md (maintainer with admin access, PR-only bypass of the second-approval requirement; no self-approval).
Required CI on this head:ci, privacy gate, changes, enforce-target, hygiene, label, resolve-pr and select windows runner pass. The remaining jobs skip, as they do for docs-only changes.
Review: an architect reflection and two independent plan-audit rounds (round 2 PASS). A fresh final merge-gate review gave GO-WITH-FIXES on d17723c; its one blocker was fixed in d6096cf, and the confirmation round returned PASS on this head.
CodeRabbit and Codex: all 29 CodeRabbit threads and the Codex connector thread have replies, and the fixes landed in d17723c.
Local checks:bun run privacy:scan, bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts and bun run structure:check pass.
Residuals for later phases: two Low wording items from the last review round (010 carried-fields test text; 020 peer observations setting updateInFlight: null). They will be fixed at the wp1 and wp2 plan re-verification.

Summary
Docs-only roadmap for Home-orchestrated Child updates and operations on Remote Link:
devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/. No source, test or config file changes.On an outdated Child, Home models with a 1M context show about 258k in Codex. The research in
001traces that to Codex's 272,000 × 95% fallback for a model slug missing from the catalog it loaded. The Child copies the Home catalog verbatim, but two copies go stale: the Child's catalog file is refreshed only by a manualocx sync, and a long-running Codex app-server keeps its startup catalog.The roadmap answers that and the rest of the owner's request in nine phases, one PR each:
