feat(link): fan out Home catalog changes to Children automatically; ocx link policy - #8557
wp5 of the Home-orchestrated Child updates roadmap (devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/050_auto_catalog_fanout.md). It fixes the first layer of the "1M-context Home models show ~258k on a Child" bug, which roadmap research 001 traced to Codex's 272k × 95% fallback for model slugs missing from a stale Child catalog. Until now a Child's catalog was refreshed only when someone ran ocx sync by hand. Now a Home that has links pushes every catalog change to its Children automatically.
Automatic catalog fan-out (on by default): the Home watches its own catalog revision, through the auto-refresh tick plus a 5-minute file check that also catches dashboard edits. After a 60-second quiet period (capped at 5 minutes), it runs the pinned sync --expect-link on each eligible Child. A Child is eligible when it is Home-initiated, connected, not held by another operation, and behind the Home's catalog by the etag its last Home-run sync confirmed. It must also be idle, or have the same Codex settings digest as the Home. Failures back off per link and per target. Codex is never restarted by default, and no update is started.
Policy:<configDir>/link/child-policy.json holds catalogFanout (auto/manual), childCodexRestart (never/app-server-when-idle), updates (stored here; the automatic sweep lands in a later phase) and idleAfterMs. A damaged policy file fails closed (fan-out manual, updates off) until the operator saves a policy, so damage can never re-enable something the owner turned off.
Policy access:GET/PUT /api/link/children/policy (PUT accepts a subset of keys), and a new ocx link policy [--catalog-fanout auto|manual] [--child-codex-restart …] [--updates …] [--json] verb.
Automatic restarts: when an operator opts into automatic restarts, a restart also requires the idle window when the item starts, not only when the item is queued.
Off the core path: a Home without links loads no Child-ops host or scheduler and starts no timer (tests/lab/link-child-ops-no-timer.test.ts, INV-LINK-CHILD-OPS-01). src/link still imports nothing from src/server, src/cli or src/client.
Docs and disclosure: the Remote Link guide and the CLI lifecycle reference, in English and 7 translations, state the default-on background sync and its opt-out (ocx link policy --catalog-fanout manual). Also updated: skills/ocx, structure/remote-link.md and structure/overview.md.
The branch is rebased onto current dev and keeps #8555 (link diagnostics) and #8551 (SSH capture) intact. The ocx link usage, capabilities and docs list their verbs alongside policy.
Verification
A3 oracle (tests/e2e-style/link-child-catalog-oracle.test.ts): it seeds a stale Child, missing a 1M-context slug and still listing a slug the Home dropped. It changes the Home catalog and lets the real trigger run through the quiet period. It then asserts that every Home row's context_window, and the row set, equals the Child's. A catalogFanout: "manual" control case asserts the Child stays stale.
Gates:bun run typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check, skill:surface:check and bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts pass.
NOT RUN: the full root suite locally (shared, loaded host; CI covers it).
Security: PUT /api/link/children/policy is a new mutating route. It uses the same "either" auth as the link routes (dashboard session with Origin and CSRF, admin token on loopback, or a paired remote dashboard session), refuses Tailscale identity sessions and client-role runtimes, accepts a strict body, and writes the file 0600 under the config lock. An explicit security review is recorded in a PR comment before merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added ocx link policy to view or selectively update Child synchronization, catalog distribution, restart, and idle-time settings.
Home automatically synchronizes eligible Children after catalog changes settle, with retries for failures. Optional app-server restarts occur only when enabled and the Child is idle.
Added an API for reading and updating Child policy settings. Invalid policy files disable automatic catalog distribution and updates until settings are saved.
Documentation
Expanded Remote Link guides and CLI references with policy options, synchronization behavior, and invalid-policy handling across supported languages.
This PR adds persisted Home Child policies, a management API and CLI, and automatic catalog fanout scheduling for eligible Remote Link Children. It wires the scheduler to link-listener lifecycle and adds tests and documentation for policy behavior, scheduling, retries, and catalog synchronization.
Changes: Child policy and automatic catalog fanout
Adds persisted policy reads and partial updates with fail-closed handling for invalid files. Adds policy GET and PUT routes and the ocx link policy command, with validation, selective updates, and warning reporting.
Adds host bindings and a scheduler that evaluates catalog revisions, policy, synced etags, activity, settings digests, peer versions, and per-link backoff. Listener ownership starts and stops the host through dynamic loading. Tests cover scheduler behavior, lifecycle boundaries, and synchronization of a stale Child catalog.
Catalog refresh invokes an optional link fanout callback after a changed catalog outcome. The engine adds whenDone(jobId), and automatic restart jobs check that the link is idle both when the item starts and during a later activity check.
Guides and references describe fanout timing, eligibility, retry rules, optional idle restarts, policy settings, CLI and API usage, and fail-closed behavior. Skill and test-layout references are updated for the new command and tests.
Plan and audit updates devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/000_plan.md, devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/050_auto_catalog_fanout.md
The plan records the route-owned catalog monitor, policy behavior, host lifecycle, scheduler rules, authorization details, and verification notes.

Recheck shutdown and policy before submitting the second batch
When a pass contains both plain-sync and restarting Children, it awaits the entire plain-sync job before submitting the restarting batch. If stop() runs during that wait, the second batch is still submitted afterward because stopped is checked only at evaluation entry. This contradicts the shutdown ordering in optional-listeners.ts, which stops the scheduler before tearing down tunnels, and can launch remote syncs/restarts during teardown. Switching the policy to manual during the wait likewise does not prevent the second submission. Recheck the stopped state and current policy after the await and before admitting another batch.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed: each group is admitted against the policy read just before it, and nothing is submitted after stop(). Covered by two new scheduler tests. (bf014e4 / ece72e1)
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Require runtime parity before syncing a busy Child
If an earlier settings apply succeeded but its client-runtime restart failed, the Child's parity reporter still reports the newly applied settings digest alongside runtimeStartedAt < lastApplyAt. Returning only that digest makes both scheduler admission and autoSyncAllowed treat a busy Child as safe to sync. However, sync-command.ts calls restartRuntimeAfterApply even when the settings are unchanged, and link-apply-restart.ts retries the outstanding restart, potentially terminating the Child's active model streams despite the automatic busy gate. Preserve the parity timestamps and require proof that the runtime started after the apply before permitting a non-idle sync.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed: a busy Child counts as settings-equal only when its runtime started at or after its last apply, so the sync cannot trigger the pending runtime restart. (bf014e4 / ece72e1)
Security review (MAINTAINERS.md security-boundary review) of GET/PUT /api/link/children/policy and the default-on background catalog fan-out. A fresh independent review task with a security scope reviewed head 845f15529972c15b169556c89ea3bc14c63a5bcb and returned SECURITY-VERDICT: PASS.
Access: a paired dashboard session, a current loopback session on a standalone runtime, or the admin token on trusted loopback. Tailscale identity sessions are refused, CSRF and Origin are enforced on PUT, and a client-role runtime gets 409 runtime_role_client.
Body: strict; unknown keys including __proto__ are refused, and idleAfterMs must be 60 s to 1 h.
Policy file: written under the config lock (0700 directory, 0600 file, Windows directory ACL hardened). A damaged file fails closed (fan-out manual, restart never, updates off) and is never rewritten on read.
What triggers SSH: only Home catalog changes, the startup check and a 5-minute poll; no route or Child input starts a pass.
Limits: a 60 s quiet period capped at 5 min, one pass at a time plus at most one rerun, per-link backoff from 5 min to 6 h, a shared concurrency cap with manual jobs, and a timeout on every SSH run.
Fixed command: only the pinned sync --expect-link for the stored link id, with no restart by default. An automatic restart is re-checked for idle at item start and again just before the restart.
Hostile Child: a broken or malicious Child can return only closed verdicts and cannot make the Home loop. Nothing remote is logged or stored verbatim.
Home without links: it loads no fan-out code and starts no timer.
Non-blocking Lows, recorded for later phases: a success clears the backoff (an upstream whose model list keeps changing could cause about one sync per Child every 1 to 5 min); a Child stuck answering child-updating is retried each poll; the CLI read validator checks idleAfterMs > 0 but not its 60 s to 1 h range.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Add the required reconnect method to the supervisor stub.
Line 39 assigns this object to LinkSupervisor, but the object has no reconnect method. src/link/supervisor.ts, Lines 40–57, requires reconnect(linkId: string): Promise<boolean>. This assignment therefore produces a missing-property type error when the test is typechecked.
Add reconnect: async () => false to this stub. The policy tests do not need reconnect behavior, but the stub must satisfy the declared interface.

Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md:
- Line 263: Update the remote-link guide to tell operators that recovering from
a damaged policy does not automatically restore catalog fan-out: they must
explicitly set --catalog-fanout auto when they want to resume it. Apply the same
clarification to the translated guides.
- Line 254: Update the earlier activity.idle description to say ten minutes is
the default, not a fixed duration; keep it consistent with the idleAfterMs
setting described in the remote-link guide.
- Line 243: Update the restart command in the remote-link guide to include the
required --link-id <id> and --yes arguments. Find and update the corresponding
command in translated guides as well, keeping each guide’s surrounding
explanation unchanged.
- Line 243: Update the remote-link guide to clarify that enabling the
app-server-when-idle policy does not restart a Child whose catalog was already
synced; the scheduler skips Children with a matching catalog etag. Tell
operators to manually restart Codex or run sync with child restarts for that
case, and apply the same clarification to the translated guides.
- Line 241: Qualify the catalog fan-out description’s no-restart claim as the
default behavior, noting that idle Children may restart Codex when
childCodexRestart is set to app-server-when-idle. Apply the same qualification
to equivalent claims in the translated guides and the remote hub skill
reference.
Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md:
- Line 1399: Separate `ocx link policy` from the Child job command list in the
lifecycle documentation, placing it in its own section. Keep the job-specific
statement and exit table scoped to commands that create Child jobs, and document
the policy command’s policy or `{policy, warning}` output instead of implying it
returns an `ocx.link.child-job/1` response.
- Line 1415: Update the exit-code sentence in the `ocx link policy`
documentation to state that exit 1 includes commands run on a Child, and exit 5
indicates a conflict response. Preserve the other documented exit-code meanings.
Review comments at @src/link/child-ops-scheduler.ts:
- Around line 47-48: Update the legacy-entry check in the scheduler so a missing
peerVersion remains blocked when entry.legacyAtVersion records a known version,
while a different reported version can still unblock it. Add a test covering a
known-version-to-null transition.
- Line 150: In evaluate, recheck stopped state and the current catalogFanout
policy immediately before each deps.engine.submit call, so resuming after
whenDone cannot submit a restart group under stale admission. Add a test that
stops the scheduler while a plain-sync job is gated and verifies no later group
is submitted.
Review comments at @tests/e2e-style/link-child-catalog-oracle.test.ts:
- Around line 132-133: Update the assertions near the child catalog oracle check
to compare the keys of the models_cache.json-derived cache Map with the Home
slugs, matching the existing catalog-key assertion. Use the cache and home
symbols already in scope so stale cache rows fail the test.

Correct. Fixed in a24d7ec: the ocx link policy capability, the skill page and the English guide now say this release stores updates but starts no automatic update yet.
@lidge-jun Thanks for adding the clarification. The capability, skill page, and English guide now say that automatic updates are not active.
The fix is still incomplete: src/cli/link-child-ops.ts Line 281 tells users that passing an --updates mode turns updates back on. The recovery guidance in docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md Line 1420 makes the same claim. The capability and guide also retain similar wording before their new clarification.
Please distinguish these actions: --catalog-fanout auto resumes catalog fan-out, while --updates only stores a mode for future use.
If you found this review helpful, would you consider giving us a shout-out on X?
…on; say updates are not active yet
