User problem

Fresh WSL installs can have a local ~/.codex directory before config.toml exists. In that state OpenCodex could treat the missing config file as permission to switch to a detected Windows Codex home, even though the local home is the intended default.

Change

  • Keep an existing local default ~/.codex as the resolved Codex home even when config.toml has not been created yet.
  • Preserve the existing Windows-home discovery path only for the case where the local default Codex home directory is absent.
  • Add focused WSL resolution regression coverage.

Verification

  • bun test tests/codex-integration/codex-home-wsl.test.ts
  • bun run typecheck

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

defaultCodexHome now checks whether the Linux .codex directory exists before searching for a WSL Windows Codex home. A regression test covers an existing Linux directory without config.toml.

리뷰 · 우선순위 36 / 80

이 PR은 프로그램을 바꾸지 않는다. 문서 파일 하나에 문단 하나만 넣는다. 넣은 말은 이렇다. 코덱스를 처음 깔면 config.toml이 없을 수 있다. 그럴 때는 다른 설정 폴더로 여기지 말고, 이미 정해진 CODEX_HOME 안에 그 파일을 만들어라. 파일이 없다는 신고를 볼 때는 먼저 실제 CODEX_HOME과 그 폴더가 있는지도 확인하라.

이슈 5440이 원한 설명도 그것이다. 지금 코드는 그 말과 반대로 움직인다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 5행 - 이 파일 맨 위는 옛날 설계 기록이라고 적혀 있다. 지금 동작은 structure/와 공개 문서를 보라고 한다. 고장 안내를 여기 적어도, 사람은 이것을 지금 동작 문서로 읽지 않는다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 24행 - "파일이 없으면 그 자리에 만들고, 다른 설정 루트로 보지 마라"고 했다. src/codex/home.ts의 defaultCodexHome(135행)은 반대다. CODEX_HOME이 비어 있고 ~/.codex/config.toml이 없으면, WSL에서 윈도우 코덱스 홈을 찾는다. 후보가 하나뿐이면 그 폴더를 설정 루트로 쓴다. 파일을 만들어서 그 전환을 막지는 않는다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 24행 - "만들어야 한다"는 바라는 일이다. 이 PR은 그 만드는 코드를 넣지 않는다. 없는 파일을 알아서 만든다고 읽으면 디버그가 더 헷갈린다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

없는 config.toml을 보고 기본 홈에 파일을 만들 것인지, 지금처럼 윈도우 홈으로 넘어갈 수 있음을 문서로만 남길 것인지.

너의 추천

이대로 머지하지 않는 편이 낫다. 지금 동작을 적을 거면 defaultCodexHome과 같은 말로 쓰고, 이 아카이브가 아니라 structure/나 공개 문서에 둔다. 동작을 바꿀 거면 문서만으로는 부족하고 코드 변경이 필요하다.

Require a directory before suppressing the WSL fallback.

When defaultHome is a regular file, existsSync(defaultHome) returns true. This sets detected to null, so defaultCodexHome returns the file path instead of the valid Windows Codex home. The catalog home-selection path then rejects it because the selected path is not a directory.

Use statSync(defaultHome).isDirectory() for local-home precedence. Fall back when the path is absent or is not a directory, and rethrow filesystem errors other than ENOENT. Add a regression test where the local ~/.codex path is a regular file and a valid Windows Codex home exists. The current test does not cover this case because it treats the local path as existing and only applies its directory mock while discovering Windows homes.

On WSL an unset CODEX_HOME switched to a discovered Windows Desktop home
whenever ~/.codex/config.toml was missing, even when the local ~/.codex

a directory; only an absent path or a non-directory lets discovery pick the

switching. Structure and the Codex integration guide (all locales) now

* fix(codex): treat an unchanged sync-cache as success (#5594)

ocx sync-cache exited 1 when models_cache.json was already current, because
an unchanged cache and a failed rewrite both surfaced as false. The cache
invalidation now reports written / unchanged / missing_catalog /
desired_disabled / failed; the CLI exits 0 for an unchanged cache, restarts
Codex only after a real write, and names the skip in --json.

On top of #5594: the human path no longer prints the integration-OFF
explanation before the real outcome (an explicit sync-cache refreshes
regardless of the toggle), the skip-count comment names all three benign
skips, and the composed acceptance test covers the human output and derives
the expected skip from whether an OFF sync left a catalog behind.

* fix(codex): refresh persisted integration intent in status (#5588)

GET /api/native-integrations derived the Codex switch from the server's
startup config snapshot, so a completed Codex toggle did not show until the
proxy restarted. The status read now takes per-client intent from persisted
configuration.

On top of #5588: the same fresh intent is used for the Grok and Claude
Desktop rows, whose toggles also persist independently (every other field
still comes from the snapshot); a Codex OFF toggle whose native restore did
not complete keeps the row unsafe on later reads instead of deriving absent
from intent; tests cover the stale-snapshot read, an off-then-on round trip,
and a failed restore followed by a status read.

* fix(codex): retire stale short-window main-account hard locks (#5620)

The main-account hard lock kept an old 5h reading forever once an account
moved to weekly or monthly windows: policy merging retained omitted blocking
short usage, and that stale tuple outranked a fresh weekly reading. A single
fresh WHAM response now replaces the short tuple when its primary window is
explicitly at least 24h and the secondary and tertiary windows are explicit
null or also long. The replacement proof is per observation and never
persisted; the current window still blocks at 99%.

On top of #5620: a non-null long auxiliary window only counts as proof when
it carries a valid used_percent, since unknown usage must never release a
block; regression covers a monthly primary with a long secondary or tertiary
window that omits used_percent.

The policy trusts one reported topology rather than repeated observations;
that trade-off is documented in structure/providers/openai-tiers.md.

* fix(catalog): bind model discovery's token and destination to one snapshot (#5647)

The provider connection probe resolved a token and then rebuilt its URL from
the live credential store, and a refreshing catalog gather captured its URL
before resolving a refreshed token. A Copilot account switch, or a refresh
that moves an account's API host, could therefore pair one account's bearer
with another account's origin. Discovery now rebuilds the send from the same
snapshot that supplied the token, keeps separate flights per stored origin,
probes Devin at the snapshot's tenant address, and a key row never borrows a
stored OAuth account's origin.

On top of #5647: negative tests pin that a snapshot without an API host falls
back only to static configuration validated against the vendor allowlist or
the vendor default, never to the live store (Copilot account switch during
refresh; Devin row with a non-allowlisted configured base), and
structure/catalog.md states that rule.

* fix(codex): discover the WSL Desktop runtime under CODEX_HOME/bin/wsl (#5635)

Windows Codex Desktop in WSL app-server mode ships its Linux Codex binary
under the effective Codex home as bin/wsl/<version-hash>/codex. An Ubuntu
service whose PATH has no codex resolved no runtime, so the v2 transition
failed with "Executable not found in $PATH".

On Linux, runtime discovery now enumerates the direct hash-directory
children of <effective CODEX_HOME>/bin/wsl newest first, after an explicit
runtime, PATH and the ordinary install locations, and probes them through the
existing isolated --version seam. The list is re-read on every resolve, so a
Desktop update that replaces the hash directory is rediscovered instead of
trusted from a remembered path, and CODEX_HOME joins the process memo key.

Regressions: absent PATH, replaced hash directory, newest hash first,
explicit pin wins, PATH wins, unreadable bin/wsl, and no enumeration on
macOS.

Closes #5635.

* fix(catalog): restore a native row's multi-agent pin after a forced mode (#5636)

Returning from forced v1 to default left newer native rows (gpt-6-astra,
gpt-6-luna) pinned to v1 when the pristine catalog backup predated them:
default mode preserves a live pin that the baseline does not mention, and
after a forced pass nothing distinguished the forced stamp from a genuine
pin.

A forced v1/v2 pass now records the row's pre-override value once, as
opencodex_multi_agent_version_origin (a string pin or null), and repeated
forced passes never replace it. Default mode consumes the record: pristine
baseline and native pins still win, routed-row normalization is unchanged,
and only a native row the baseline predates is restored from the record.
Rows written before the record existed keep the non-destructive read.

Closes #5636.

* fix(codex): bootstrap a missing config.toml in an existing Codex home (#5422)

A fresh Codex install can have its home directory but no config.toml yet:
Codex writes it lazily, and an authless Desktop user who never signs in to
OpenAI may never get one. Injection treated that as "Codex config not found
... Is Codex installed?" and blocked third-party provider onboarding.

When the resolved Codex home is a directory and config.toml is missing, an
applying injection now creates an empty config.toml exclusively (an existing
file is never overwritten) and continues; a validate-only preflight reasons
about that empty file and writes nothing. A missing home directory is still
refused, now with instructions to start Codex once or set CODEX_HOME, so a
wrong home stays distinguishable from an uninitialized one.

The client-connect preflight rollback scenario used a missing config.toml
as its fault; it now uses a deterministic injection refusal (ambiguous
managed sub-agent markers) instead.

Closes #5422.

* fix(clients): accept a relocated Aside root behind a symlinked ~/.aside (#5648)

A user who moved ~/.aside (for example to an external volume) and left a
symlink behind could not load Aside profiles: the reader refused the root
because the path itself was a link, although Aside follows it.

asideHomeDir now canonicalizes only that top-level alias, once, and only
onto a directory. Every boundary below the canonical root is unchanged: u/,
account directories and models.json still refuse links, and a ~/.aside link
to a regular file is still refused. Regressions cover the relocated root,
linked u/ and account directories and a linked catalog under it.

Closes #5648.

* docs(devlog): plan the 260924 regression-risk fixes

* docs(devlog): note the wp1 re-walk

* fix(codex): keep a discovered Windows home when the local WSL ~/.codex holds no Codex state

#5441 made any local ~/.codex directory the Codex home on WSL, even when
config.toml is missing. A WSL user whose ~/.codex exists but holds no Codex
state, and who ran against the discovered Windows Codex home, was moved to
an empty local home on upgrade: auth and sessions disappeared and a sync
wrote a new local config.

The local home now wins only when Codex is already using it: config.toml,
auth.json, sessions or history.jsonl is present (an unexpected stat error
counts as present, so doubt never switches homes). #5441's fresh install
keeps its local home once Codex has logged in or run; a bare directory
falls back to Windows discovery as before #5441.

* fix(update): treat npm -g under a mise-managed Node as an npm install on Windows

On Windows, npm -g under a mise-managed Node installs OpenCodex directly
into <mise>/installs/node/<version>/node_modules. The mise ownership
walk then read Node's own .mise.backend.toml (short = "node", full =
"core:node") as contradictory OpenCodex metadata and refused ocx update
with metadata_inconsistent, although the install is plain npm.

That exact runtime record, with the package directly in the runtime's
global node_modules, now falls through to ordinary npm detection. Any
other backend or alias under a node tool root, a deeper nested layout,
unreadable metadata and every OpenCodex mismatch stay fail-closed. POSIX
is unaffected: its lib/node_modules layout never reaches the Node record.

* fix(xai,cursor): only a marker alone on its line is an echoed tool envelope

The shared tool-envelope echo filter from #5676 matched as soon as a line
started with a marker and dropped that line and everything after it. It
is armed on almost every agentic turn (input with tool calls or outputs,
or a previous_response_id continuation), so an answer line such as
"[Tool Result] shows the build passed." silently truncated the rest of
the reply on xAI and Cursor. The Cursor history stripper had been widened
to the same prefix rule and removed such prose from replayed history.

The envelope OpenCodex replays is a marker alone on its line. A result,
error or call marker now counts only when it is the whole line (trailing
whitespace and CR allowed), decided when the line completes; the end of
the stream follows the same rule, and a bare truncated marker still
counts. The "[Tool call:" line keeps its prefix rule because a call echo
wraps when its arguments do. The Cursor replay stripper uses the same
isWholeLineEchoMarker. Fenced markers, the xAI Responses JSON path and
the stored continuation snapshot follow from the shared filter.

* fix(openai-chat): bound the streaming hold of an unmatched serialized tool call

#5548 holds everything after a bare <tool_call><function=...> opening
until the stream ends, so a model that writes such a block and then keeps
answering without a structured call delivered the rest of its answer only
at the end of the turn, and could approach the translator budget.

Streaming content now goes through ingestStreaming. Once a closed block
is followed by more than 8 KiB of prose with no block open after it, or
held text plus queued events would pass 4 MiB (checked before the next
delta is retained), everything held is released in order with nothing
suppressed. A duplicated block is the tail of the content, so matching
blocks followed by their structured call are still removed; past a bound
the stream prefers delivery over suppression, the behaviour before
#5548. Buffered responses keep the unbounded ingest because their
structured calls are already known. openai-chat.ts keeps its line count.

* fix(openai-chat): close the streaming hold bound's single-delta and queued-event paths

A delta that opens a block and already passes 4 MiB is no longer retained, an oversized delta after an open block is delivered after the held text, and queued non-text events count toward the same bound. The fresh WSL home test now models a fresh install (auth.json present, config.toml absent) instead of a mock that reported every path present. Review decisions are recorded in the plan.
