Summary

Phase 2 of #2811: extend ocx system codex-cli-update attest so it can observe the selected npm-global Codex CLI installation, not only an explicitly named one.

  • Bare attest (no paths) derives the four attestation inputs from the proof-bound launcher snapshot: the configured CODEX_CLI_PATH, or the first codex resolved on the captured PATH in PATHEXT order. An OpenCodex wrapper shim resolves to its renamed codex.opencodex-real.cmd npm backing, so the npm artifact is attested rather than our own launcher.
  • Supplying all four absolute paths remains an all-or-none explicit override; a partial set is a usage error. Discovery only proposes candidate paths — the held-handle observation in cli-installation-identity.ts stays the authority, so a stale or racing probe can only produce a refusal, never a false identity.
  • No ambient environment is read: a direct Bun/source launch has no proof-bound snapshot and reports candidate_unavailable with candidateSource: "selected". The report schema gains only the candidateSource field value; selectionAttested, managed, and applyAllowed remain false, and the fixed report still contains no paths.
  • New module src/codex/cli-installation-targets.ts performs the derivation with injectable exists/fileContains/platform seams; the test seam for attestation itself is unchanged.

This is the read-only attestation prerequisite agreed in the issue discussion: it identifies the selected installation and binds its identity. No installer execution, process control, plan/apply engine, or dashboard work is included; the apply phase remains separate follow-up work, so this uses Refs rather than closing the issue.

Verification

Exact head: 96bc00aa5a353bd95112250235ca22f13edfb0a0 (merges dev through 4655d32f8; structure conflicts in catalog/gui-and-management-api/subagents/claude-desktop resolved by keeping both invariant statements). Includes d03ca7807 regenerating the skills/ocx management-surface reference. Merges current dev through 4655d32f8.

  • bun x tsc --noEmit — clean.
  • bun run structure:check — passed.
  • bun run privacy:scan — passed.
  • bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts — passed.
  • bun test on the four touched files — 45 tests / 207 assertions, all pass, including a real end-to-end Windows x64 case that spawns the published Node launcher, attests a synthetic npm-global layout through the proof-bound snapshot, and confirms no target bytes execute and no state is written.

Remaining gates

  • Fork run 35240874803 on b3bebb27a caught the committed generated-surface drift (fixed in d03ca7807); run 35245256265 (diagnostic run 35245256265, contributor fork Actions) on d03ca7807 was green except the macos control 30-minute dispatch cap. Run 35251922440 (diagnostic run 35251922440, contributor fork Actions) on 54afc6ecb was green except the cap plus a windows 1/9 batch failure in server-xai-responses-streaming.test.ts (xAI OAuth streaming opt-in, 4 cases: stream ended before first delta / fixture-cleanup AbortError) - outside this PR's changed surface and matching the scattered per-shard flake pattern on other heads. Fresh run diagnostic run 35255842168 (contributor fork Actions) completed green on every lane except the known macos control 30-minute dispatch cap on 96bc00aa5.
  • Kept as Draft by choice: CI is green and local verification passed; the remaining gate is maintainer review of the phase-2 attestation design against current dev.

…pshot

Bare 'ocx system codex-cli-update attest' now derives the four attestation inputs from the proof-bound launcher snapshot (configured CODEX_CLI_PATH or the first codex on the captured PATH), resolving an OpenCodex wrapper to its renamed npm backing. Explicit four-path attestation remains as an all-or-none override; discovery only proposes paths and the held-handle observation remains the authority. Refs lidge-jun#2811.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds ocx system codex-cli-update attest for read-only Windows x64 Codex CLI installation observation. It adds target derivation, native handle-bound file inspection, identity reports, CLI validation, integration tests, and documentation.

Changes

Codex CLI installation attestation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded Windows file observation
src/codex/windows-installation-files.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-windows-installation-files.test.ts
Adds bounded Windows x64 file inspection through native handles. The observer validates paths and sizes, rejects reparse points and active writers, computes digests, detects identity changes, and closes handles safely.
Selected installation target derivation
src/codex/cli-installation-targets.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-installation-targets.test.ts
Derives the candidate, npm prefix, npm CLI, and Node paths from the trusted launcher snapshot. It supports PATH lookup and renamed OpenCodex npm shims and returns typed refusal reasons.
Installation identity contract and inspection
src/codex/cli-installation-identity.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-installation-identity.test.ts
Validates supported Windows npm layouts, manifests, shim bytes, linked files, and repeated observations. It returns path-free observed or refused reports with selectionAttested, managed, and applyAllowed set to false.
CLI attest dispatch and validation
src/cli/codex-cli-update.ts, src/cli/capabilities.ts, src/cli/registry.ts, src/cli/system-command.ts, tests/cli/cli-codex-cli-update.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-zero-effect.test.ts
Adds attest parsing, explicit all-or-none path options, selected-candidate derivation, identity inspection dispatch, path redaction, usage text, capability registration, and zero-effect tests.
Documentation and test-layout contract
docs-site/src/content/docs/*/reference/cli*.md, structure/*.md, skills/ocx/references/01_management_surface.md, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Documents the command, refusal conditions, report fields, read-only behavior, and the distinction from update authority and runtime selection. Maps the new integration tests to the codex-integration domain.

리뷰 · 우선순위 62 / 80

이 PR은 이슈 #2811(provenance-aware Codex CLI update manager)의 2단계다. 지금 dev tip은 fa26404d7(#4861 native result continuations)이고 패키지는 2.58.0이다. PR head b3bebb27a는 tip과 diverged 상태다(대략 tip 쪽 커밋 3개 앞/PR 쪽 4개 앞). 푸시 시점에는 9052ddf75(#4908)까지 merge했다고 적혀 있으니, 그 이후 들어온 #4909 릴리스 트레인 문서와 #4861 native 결과 연속은 아직 브랜치에 없다. 기능 충돌 가능성은 낮아 보이지만 머지 전에는 tip rebase/merge가 필요하다.

하는 일은 ocx system codex-cli-update attest가 명시 네 경로뿐 아니라, proof-bound launcher snapshot에서 선택된 Windows x64 npm 설치를 읽기 전용으로 관측하게 하는 것이다. 새 모듈 src/codex/cli-installation-targets.ts가 후보 경로만 제안하고, 실제 권위는 기존 cli-installation-identity.ts의 held-handle 관측이다. 래퍼 shim은 codex.opencodex-real.cmd npm 백업으로 풀린다. Bun/소스 직접 실행처럼 스냅샷이 없으면 candidate_unavailable + candidateSource: "selected"로 거절한다. 보고서는 경로를 넣지 않고 selectionAttested/managed/applyAllowed는 계속 false다. 설치·프로세스 제어·apply 엔진은 없다.

문서가 en/fr/ja/ko/ru/tr/zh-cn/zh-tw CLI 참고에 대칭으로 들어가고, skills/ocx/references/01_management_surface.md와 structure 쪽도 갱신된다. 테스트는 tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-installation-*.test.ts와 CLI 업데이트 제로이펙트·Windows 파일 관측이 늘었다. 본문 검증(로컬 tsc/structure/privacy/file-size + 관련 bun test 45/207)은 범위가 분명하다. 다만 hosted 게이트는 포크 dispatch 35240874803에 맡겼고, 작성자도 macos-control 30분 취소 한계를 #4905와 같이 적어 두었다. draft로 남아 있다.

안전 쪽 선택은 좋다. discovery가 identity를 속이지 못하고, stale probe는 거절만 만든다. applyAllowed를 false로 둔 채 Refs #2811만 건 것도 맞다(이슈를 닫지 않음). types.ts/config.ts 분할 캠페인과 무관하고 preview deploy도 아니다. 다만 변경량이 크고(약 +1761/−4, 파일 40개) 다국어 문서 대칭 비용이 크다. tip rebase 후 structure/catalog 충돌이 다시 날 수 있다(이미 origin/dev merge 때 catalog 등 충돌 이력이 커밋에 있다).

정리하면 #2811 로드맵의 올바른 읽기전용 전제조건이고, 머지 가치는 있다. 지금 tip보다 뒤처져 있고 draft·포크 CI 대기라서 우선순위는 중간이다다. apply 단계는 이 PR에 넣지 말라는 기존 합의를 유지한다.

src/codex/cli-installation-targets.ts - 후보 도출만 하고 held-handle 관측이 권위. 이 경계가 깨지면 false identity가 생긴다.
src/cli/codex-cli-update.ts - bare attest가 snapshot 경로를 타는지, 부분 경로(4개 미만)가 usage error인지 확인 포인트다.
candidateSource / selectionAttested - 스키마에 selected 값만 추가하고 attested 플래그는 false 유지. apply 권한으로 오해되면 안 된다.
dev 동기화 - head가 tip fa26404d7(#4861/#4909)와 diverged. 머지 전 rebase 필수.
CI - 포크 macos-control 30분 취소는 #4905와 같은 알려진 한계. 나머지 lane 초록을 신호로 본다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • tip fa26404d7 rebase 후 다국어 문서·structure 충돌을 이 PR에서 흡수할지, 문서 PR을 나눌지
  • 포크 CI만으로 충분한지, upstream exact-SHA dispatch를 한 번 더 돌릴지
  • #2811 apply/plan 단계를 이 attest 머지 직후 이을지, 2.58.0 열차 밖으로 둘지

너의 추천
draft 유지한 채 tip fa26404d7에 rebase하고, 포크(또는 upstream) substantive lane이 초록이면 ready 후 머지한다. #2811은 닫지 말고 Refs만 유지한다. apply/설치 실행 코드는 이 PR에 추가하지 않는다.

Restrict the backing shim to selected attestation or document it.

Line 167 accepts codex.opencodex-real.cmd for both explicit and selected inputs. However, src/cli/capabilities.ts Line 716 documents explicit --candidate values as only codex.cmd or bin/codex.js. An explicit caller can therefore receive an observed report for an undocumented candidate form.

Permit backingShim only when source === "selected". Alternatively, add this form to the explicit CLI contract and its tests.

Proposed restriction
-  if (![key(codexBin), key(shim), key(backingShim)].includes(key(candidate))
+  const allowedCandidates = source === "selected"
+    ? [key(codexBin), key(shim), key(backingShim)]
+    : [key(codexBin), key(shim)];
+  if (!allowedCandidates.includes(key(candidate))

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the wrapper marker read before allocation.

Line 41 reads the complete candidate file before applying the 8 KiB limit. A large codex.cmd can therefore allocate unbounded memory and terminate the CLI before derivation returns a typed refusal.

Open the file and read at most SHIM_PROBE_BYTES. Close the descriptor in finally.

Refuse configured path-shaped values that cannot be resolved.

If snapshot.codexCliPath is .\tools\codex.cmd, C:codex.cmd, or another non-absolute value with a separator, Lines 95-98 silently scan for codex instead. The report can then describe a different installation as the selected candidate.

Accept a drive-absolute path or a bare command name. Return candidate_unavailable for other configured values. Add a regression case for a relative path-shaped CODEX_CLI_PATH.

Closing this one because the work is on dev, not because the contribution was unwanted — the CLI installation attestation is yours and it is shipping. A review this round found a defect that had to be fixed before it could land, and rather than leave the branch waiting indefinitely on a round trip, the fix was made on a carry branch. The carry PR describes exactly what was changed relative to your branch and why, so the difference is reviewable rather than silent.

If you disagree with any part of the change made on top of your work, say so on #4978 and it can be revisited. Thanks for the contribution.
