This adds a read-only viewer for the bounded Remote Link diagnostics file (#7297 part 1, owner decision). The link runtime already records tunnel transitions, owner lookups and relay outcomes to <OPENCODEX_HOME>/link/diagnostics.jsonl (plus one rotated backup), but nothing read it, so an operator diagnosing an outage had to open the JSONL by hand.
Reader (src/link/diagnostics-read.ts): opens the backup and current file read-only, never follows a symlink (the link/ directory included), refuses non-regular files, and reads at most the newest 256 KiB of each. It never creates, hardens or writes anything. Every line goes back through the writer's own allowlist (the existing metadata(), now exported as linkDiagnosticMetadata) plus the sink's timestamp and suppressed; malformed, overlong (>4 KiB) or non-allowlisted lines are counted in skipped and never shown, so a tampered file cannot put free text or control characters on a terminal or the dashboard. Records come back oldest first, with optional since and a limit of 1–1000 (default 200).
CLI:ocx link diagnostics [--limit <n>] [--since <iso-time|epoch-ms>] [--json] reads the local file directly, needs no running proxy, and is on the preflight exemption list, so it writes nothing (no shim repair, no config-root ACL wait). With no file it prints "No Remote Link diagnostics recorded yet: "; --json prints an ocx.link.diagnostics/1 document.
Route:GET /api/link/diagnostics uses the same authority as /api/link/status, works without a running link supervisor, omits the local path, answers 400 invalid_query for a bad limit/since, and is registered as non-mutating.
Child listener: a connected Child serves this read to its own dashboard session only; it is never relayed to the Home, and a Child cannot read a Home's diagnostics.
Dashboard: a collapsed Diagnostics section at the bottom of the Remote Link page, fetched only when opened, which re-checks records against the closed vocabulary before rendering. Copy is in all 11 locales.
The screenshot is from a throwaway OPENCODEX_HOME seeded with five valid records and one forged line (an ANSI-prefixed event name): the five render, the forged line is counted as skipped and never shown.
Choices where the request was silent (owner can revisit): a Child dashboard shows only the Child's own file; event, outcome and state names are shown as code-style technical text rather than translated labels; ocx link diagnostics --json includes the local path while the route omits it.
Refs #7297. Part 2 (opt-in SSH capture) landed in #8551.
Verification
New tests (each failed before its change): tests/clients/link-diagnostics-read.test.ts (allowlist re-application, malformed/oversized/symlink/FIFO/absent files, order, limit, since, out-of-range timestamps), tests/cli/cli-link-diagnostics.test.ts (absent file, JSON shape, no writes, an out-of-range timestamp in both output modes), tests/server/link-diagnostics-route.test.ts (auth, sanitized output without the path, non-mutating, bad query), tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts (dashboard-session-only read on a Child, nothing relayed), gui/tests/remote-link-diagnostics.test.tsx, and a gui/tests/remote-link.test.tsx case proving a connected Child reads its own machine plane, never the Home relay.
Root focused set (diagnostics, CLI link, layout, Lab boundary, file-size ratchet): 74 pass, 0 fail. Full GUI suite as CI runs it (cd gui && bun test --isolate tests): 4445 pass, 0 fail. bun run typecheck, bun run lint:gui, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, bun run skill:surface:check and bun run build:gui pass; react-doctor reports no finding in the changed Remote Link files.
Manual: a throwaway proxy with a seeded file (five valid records, one forged line); the CLI and the dashboard both show the five records and count one skipped line (screenshot above).
Independent reviews: final general review APPROVE and privacy/security review SECURITY APPROVE on d9a05b945b (after fixes for an out-of-range timestamp crash, the Child reading through the Home relay, react-doctor findings, a French catalog check and a doc sentence).
CI on the earlier head failed only in Responses core module boundaries, which fails the same way on unmodified origin/dev (advisor-question.ts from feat(advisor): add opt-in question-only consultations #7526 missing from RESPONSES_CORE_MODULES); unrelated to this PR.
NOT RUN:
Full root bun run test on an idle machine.
Docs-site build.
Native Windows (Windows real device NOT RUN); the symlink and FIFO reader tests are POSIX-only.
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.
…hboard)
The bounded <configDir>/link/diagnostics.jsonl (+ .1 backup) had a writer and no reader.
- src/link/diagnostics-read.ts reads both files read-only, no-follow and non-blocking,
refuses symlinks, FIFOs and a symlinked link directory, reads at most the newest 256 KiB
of each, and re-applies the writer's allowlist (linkDiagnosticMetadata, now exported)
plus timestamp/suppressed to every line. Malformed, overlong or disallowed lines are
counted in `skipped` and never echoed. Oldest file first, optional since, limit 1-1000.
- `ocx link diagnostics [--limit <n>] [--since <iso|epoch-ms>] [--json]` reads the local
file without the proxy, is exempt from the shim-repair preflight (and so from the
config-root hardening wait), writes nothing, and prints the path when nothing is
recorded yet.
- GET /api/link/diagnostics returns the same ocx.link.diagnostics/1 document without the
path, with the same authority as GET /api/link/status, before the link lifecycle is
resolved. A connected Child's machine listener serves the same read to its dashboard
session only, never relayed to the Home.
- The Remote Link page gets a collapsed Diagnostics section that loads only when opened
and re-validates records against the closed vocabulary; copy in all 11 locales.
Refs #7297
The change adds a bounded, read-only reader for Remote Link diagnostic files and exposes its results through a CLI command, management and Child routes, and a localized dashboard panel.
The reader checks file types and symlinks, bounds file and line reads, sanitizes records, applies time and count filters, and reports skipped or truncated data. Tests cover file safety, ordering, filtering, and read-only behavior.
Adds ocx link diagnostics with --limit, --since, and --json. The command reads local diagnostics and prints a JSON document or human-readable output. Capability declarations, command references, and tests cover its options and behavior.
Adds GET /api/link/diagnostics with query validation and no-store responses. Management and Child access uses existing authorization checks. Tests cover access, filtering, sanitization, and rejection of write methods.
Adds a localized panel that fetches records when opened, supports refresh, and displays loading, error, empty, and populated states. The API parser filters invalid records, and tests cover fetching and rendering.

The new read-only diagnostics viewer looks safe to merge. One guide sentence misdescribes how refused files are reported, which could mislead operators comparing the skipped count with unread files. Fix the wording as a small follow-up.

Fetch Child diagnostics from the machine API plane
On a connected Remote Link Child, App.tsx passes sharedBase to RemoteLink, and targetsFromMachineStatus() sets that base to /api/machine/hub-relay. Passing it through here sends the diagnostics request to /api/machine/hub-relay/api/link/diagnostics, which relayLinkManagementRead() rejects with 403 because the diagnostics endpoint is not in LINK_MANAGEMENT_READ_PATHS. Consequently, the Child's diagnostics panel always shows an error instead of reaching the new local handler in machine-listener.ts. Supply the machine-plane base and corresponding session routing for this local-only read rather than using the shared Home-management plane.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 8d3a8e5: RemoteLink takes a diagnosticsApiBase, and App passes the machine plane on a connected link Child (targets.link), so the read reaches the Child's own handler and never goes through hub-relay. Regression test in gui/tests/remote-link.test.tsx (failed before).

Reject timestamps outside the JavaScript Date range
If a malformed diagnostics file contains an otherwise valid record with timestamp: 9007199254740991, this check accepts it even though it is outside JavaScript's valid Date range. The CLI then throws in row() at toISOString()—including with --json, since humanLines(document) is evaluated unconditionally—and the dashboard throws during rendering in formatTime(). A single malformed timestamp therefore prevents either viewer from displaying the remaining valid diagnostics. Validate that timestamps are representable dates, or omit invalid timestamps, before returning sanitized records.

Fixed in 8d3a8e5: timestamps above the Date range (8.64e15) are dropped on both the server reader and the dashboard parser, and the CLI builds its human lines only when not printing --json. Regression tests in the reader, CLI and GUI suites (each failed before).

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Apply the Child connection-change guard to diagnostics.
When the durable Child connection differs from the listener's startup connection, the existing guard at Line 261 returns 503 client_state_changed for machine and link status. Line 255 admits the new diagnostics path, but that guard excludes it. The old listener can therefore return diagnostics from the current local file under its stale dashboard session while status reports that the Child connection changed. Include LINK_DIAGNOSTICS_ROUTE in the connectionChanged() condition, and cover the divergent-connection case in tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts.

- Line 127: Update the diagnostics description around `ocx link diagnostics` to
distinguish rejected lines from refused files: state that `skipped` counts
rejected lines and that the `files` report identifies refused files, such as
symlinks and non-regular files. Keep the documented behavior aligned with the
current diagnostics output.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review.
UX change: one new read-only CLI verb and one collapsed dashboard section that loads only when opened; no setting, no mutation, no new data collected.
Regression evidence for existing users: the Remote Link page makes no extra request unless Diagnostics is opened; standalone, Home and direct-hub dashboards keep their existing API base; the full GUI suite (4445) and the focused root suites pass.
Windows impact: the reader only reads; the symlink and FIFO checks are POSIX tests. Windows real device: NOT RUN.
Verification scope: fresh independent general review APPROVE and privacy/security review SECURITY APPROVE on d9a05b945b; typecheck, GUI lint, react-doctor, privacy, structure and skill-surface gates pass.
NOT RUN: full root bun run test, docs-site build, native Windows. PR CI had no failures on this head at merge time (shards still running); the only earlier failure is a pre-existing dev failure in responses-core-modules.
