feat(gui): Child versions, actions and automation policy on the Remote Link page - #8581
wp6 of the Home-orchestrated Child updates roadmap (devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/060_dashboard.md). The Remote Link page now shows what the Home knows about each Child and lets the operator act on it. Until now this was only possible from the CLI or API.
Per-Child badges (from GET /api/link/status?children=1): running and installed version, install kind (npm, pnpm, Bun, Desktop app, GOAT-managed, mise, source, ocx-child), whether it is behind or ahead of the Home, whether an update is available, catalog freshness, a "Codex restart needed" count, the running operation, and the last operation's result.
Row actions: Check, Sync now, Restart Codex (the scope is chosen per click; the app-server scope does not refresh the Codex desktop app's own app-server) and Update. Restart and Update are disabled only while a request is in flight or a job holds that Child; the server stays the final verdict.
Check all and Update all: a running job shows live per-Child progress, and a job that was already running is picked up again after a reload. The Update and Update all confirmations say that a manual update ends any turn currently relayed for that Child, and that automatic updates wait for idle.
Child automation panel:
Catalog fan-out, Codex restart, Updates and the idle threshold.
The Updates setting notes that automatic updates are not active until the update sweep ships.
A damaged policy file shows a banner explaining that automatic modes are off, and saving then sends every setting.
Edits survive the 5-second status polling.
Errors: six new operation error codes and their messages.
Locales: every new string exists in all 11 catalogs.
Docs: the Remote Link guide in English and 7 translations (including "let active Codex turns finish, then restart"), plus structure/remote-link.md.
No server code changes. New code lives in gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx and gui/src/remote-link-child-ops-api.ts; RemoteLink.tsx is 657 lines.
The screenshot is rendered from a local fake-status harness. It shows three Children: one behind with an update running, one current, and one ocx-child.
Verification
cd gui && bun run test: 4,465 pass, 0 fail (implementation lane). Focused remote-link.test.tsx, remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx, locale-parity.test.ts and i18n-locales.test.ts rerun on the final head: 94 pass, 0 fail.
Failing first: with RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx moved aside, remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx cannot load. Before the locale keys landed it had 13 failures.
cd gui && bun run lint and bun run lint:i18n: clean. bun run build:gui: pass.
bun run typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check and bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts: pass. Docs ci-workflow tests: 115 pass.
NOT RUN: the full root suite locally (shared, loaded host; CI covers it).
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.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added Remote Link dashboard controls to check, sync, restart Codex on, and update Home-initiated Children, individually or in bulk.
Added Child version and status indicators, operation progress, and automation policy settings. Controls reflect active jobs and available actions.
Added policy validation and clearer feedback for unavailable or completed operations.
Documentation
Updated Remote Link guides in multiple languages with dashboard operations, policy settings, and cautions about active Codex turns. Manual updates restart OpenCodex and may end relayed turns; automatic updates wait until the Child is idle.
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.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The Remote Link dashboard now displays Child status and supports per-Child and bulk operations. It tracks operation jobs and provides a Child automation policy editor. The change also adds translations, tests, and documentation updates.
Changes: Remote Link Child Management
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Child operation data and API gui/src/remote-link-child-ops-api.ts, gui/src/remote-link-api.ts
Adds Child row, job, and policy types, parsers, request helpers, and view helpers. Remote Link rows now include parsed Child data, and the API recognizes Child-operation error codes.
Child actions, jobs, and policy gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx, gui/tests/remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx
Adds Child status badges, per-Child and bulk controls, confirmation dialogs, job polling and progress, and a policy editor. Tests cover requests, polling, job states, policy saves, and validation.
Remote Link page integration gui/src/pages/RemoteLink.tsx, gui/tests/remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx, gui/tests/remote-link.test.tsx
Requests Child status, adopts active jobs, and renders Child controls and policy settings when the Home role and Child data are present. Active jobs affect row actions and disconnect controls. Tests cover status requests, active-job handling, and error-code coverage.
Translations, guidance, and implementation plan gui/src/i18n/*, gui/tests/fr-localization.test.ts, gui/tests/locale-parity.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/*/guides/remote-link.md, structure/remote-link.md, devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/060_dashboard.md
Adds Child-operation labels and errors across locale catalogs. Updates Remote Link guides and structure documentation with dashboard operations, job behavior, policy settings, and restart or update constraints. Updates the implementation plan and localization tests.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8513: Adds the Child-operation endpoint and job contract used by the dashboard controls.

Explanation
The title "feat(gui): Child versions, actions and automation policy on the Remote Link page" matches the main change. The raw summary and PR objectives show the GUI Remote Link page gaining Child version and operation info, per-Child actions and bulk Check/Update controls, and an automation policy panel. The title names these as the primary change and uses a conventional commit prefix. It is concise and specific, and it does not list files or use vague terms. Docs and locale updates are supporting changes that the title does not need to cover.

Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md:
- Line 245: Update the child-badge documentation to describe only badges this
release can show: retain “Catalog current” and “Catalog out of date,” and state
that “Codex restart needed” and “Codex not running” are not shown while
child.codex remains null. Apply the same correction to the matching sections in
the Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese guides.
Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLink.tsx:
- Line 586: Update the child-row hold logic near ChildRowActions so a row is
considered busy when either row.child.activeJob is present or childJobs.items
contains a queued or running job for that link. Apply the same hold state to
both ChildRowActions and Disconnect, including immediately after trackJob
accepts a job and before the next status poll.
Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx:
- Line 345: Update the policy-loading flow in RemoteLinkChildActions so a failed
initial policy GET leaves the policy error visible with a Retry action, or make
the existing Refresh action rerun that loader using the same apiBase and
callback. Ensure retrying can populate read and draft without requiring a page
remount.
- Line 320: Update the operation-item rendering in RemoteLinkChildActions to
display item.hint below the reason when a hint is present. Preserve the existing
reason-token rendering and keep the hint bounded.
- Line 160: Update RestartCodexDialog so opening it resets scope to the default
app-server value, even when ChildRowActions keeps the dialog mounted; preserve
the desktop selection only during the current opening. Add coverage for
selecting the desktop scope, cancelling, and reopening to confirm the default is
restored.
- Line 258: Update the confirmation handler to pass the IDs from the `updatable`
rows to `run` instead of using `"all"`. Keep the existing confirmation flow so
the update applies only to the Children represented in the dialog’s count.

child.codex is always null until wp8, so "Codex restart needed" and
"Codex not running" cannot render yet. Say so in all eight guides and

Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLink.tsx:
- Line 482: Update the policy refresh control in RemoteLink so it is disabled
while policyBusy is true, in addition to the existing busy check. In
RemoteLinkChildActions, invalidate or cancel any in-flight policy read when save
starts, ensuring a read triggered just before Save cannot overwrite the saved
policy or preserve a stale “Saved” indicator.
- Line 455: Update ChildJobProgress and the childJobs state flow in RemoteLink
so polled job snapshots reach the page-level state used by jobHoldsLink. Ensure
held links are released as soon as their item state is no longer queued or
running, while avoiding repeated updates when the stored snapshot has not
changed.
Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx:
- Line 378: Update the policy reload and save flow involving load and attempt so
a pending reload cannot overwrite a completed save or edits made after the
reload began. Serialize reloads with saves or invalidate stale reads when saving
starts, and apply reload results only if they are still current.

A polled job snapshot now replaces the page's copy, so a row's actions
and Disconnect come back when its own item finishes instead of when the
whole bulk job ends.
Policy reads and writes no longer race: each save bumps a generation so
an earlier GET cannot apply afterwards, a reload skips the draft when the
operator edited it while the GET was in flight, and no reload starts
while a save is pending.

Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx:
- Line 295: Update the polling response handling around setPolled and
notify.current so overlapping requests cannot let an older response overwrite
newer job state. Serialize polls with an in-flight guard or reject superseded
responses before updating either the local snapshot or the page snapshot through
RemoteLink.updateJob; preserve the latest response as authoritative.
- Line 383: Update the reload handling around draftRef.current and startedDraft
to merge policy fields individually: preserve each field changed locally
relative to the baseline captured when the GET started, and adopt the returned
policy value for every untouched field. Add a regression case where the operator
edits catalogFanout while the reload changes updates, ensuring the local edit is
preserved without treating the server’s updates change as a local edit.
Review comments at @structure/remote-link.md:
- Line 55: Update the job-state fallback sentence in the remote-link
documentation to match the behavior of parseChildJob and parseChildOps: unknown
job and active-job states map to running, not failed. Leave the other documented
fallbacks and behavior unchanged.

…r field
A visibility-driven poll can overlap an interval one. Interval ticks now
skip while a request is pending and every response carries a sequence
number, so a stale snapshot cannot restore a hold a newer one released.
A reload that lands after an operator edit now merges field by field:
the fields they changed against the baseline keep their value and every
other field adopts the server's answer, so Save still sends only theirs.
structure/remote-link.md now says an unknown job state reads running,
which is what the parsers do, rather than failed.

- Line 300: Give each request in the useChildJob polling flow its own deadline
so a hung GET rejects and the finally block clears inFlight, allowing the next
interval poll to retry. Use an AbortController for the individual request
without changing the existing controller’s cancellation behavior, clear the
deadline in finally, and define and import the request-timeout constant
alongside CHILD_JOB_POLL_MS.
