Explanation
Active directly linked issue [
#2999] requires native-main refresh to coordinate by canonicalCODEX_HOME, preserve an external Codex writer atomically, recover deterministically after process death, and never remove the canonicalauth.jsontarget during publication. The PR does not implement those requirements.src/codex/native-main-refresh-mode.tsdelegates to a separate short-lived Codex process, but its module comment and the PR description state that Codex serializes refreshes only inside one process and that Codex-vs-Codex races remain. Two OpenCodex instances can therefore start separate Codex refreshers for the sameCODEX_HOME. Theopencodexpath insrc/codex/main-account.tsstill uses the existingatomicWriteFileguarded writer, whose final validation remains vulnerable to a replacement after the check and before rename. The added tests intests/codex-integration/native-main-refresh-mode.test.tscover mode selection and the app-server exchange, but they do not establish the linked issue's cross-process single-refresh, external-writer preservation, process-death recovery, or canonical-target guarantees.Resolution
Implement a cross-process lock or claim keyed by canonical
CODEX_HOME, and use it for every native-main refresh path. Make publication revalidate and replace the canonical file through a protocol that cannot overwrite an external writer after the final check. Ensure crash recovery removes only stale coordination state and does not removeCODEX_HOME/auth.json. Add regression tests for two differentOPENCODEX_HOMEvalues sharing oneCODEX_HOME, an external replacement at the final publication point, process death and recovery, and stableauth.jsontarget presence.

When Codex stores the login in the OS keyring, auth.json may already be absent or may be deleted during this call as described here. The returned bearer serves only the current request; the next resolveMainAccountToken invocation returns at if (!initial) before resolving Codex mode, so it never queries app-server and the native main account becomes unavailable. Retain enough delegated credential state or query Codex when the file is absent, and cover a second request after the keyring migration.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Doctor resolves the Codex runtime a second time with a full loadConfig().
Line 1436 calls loadConfig(). Everywhere else, doctor reads config through readConfigDiagnostics(), which has no side effects. loadConfig() hardens the config directory and the secret files, and it can back up an invalid config. ocx doctor is documented as read-only, so this call must not mutate state. Pass doctorConfig (Line 1368) to resolveNativeMainRefreshMode instead.
Proposed fix
- const { loadConfig } = await import("../config");
const { formatNativeMainRefreshDoctorLines, resolveNativeMainRefreshMode } = await import("../codex/native-main-refresh-mode");
- const resolution = await resolveNativeMainRefreshMode(loadConfig());
+ const resolution = await resolveNativeMainRefreshMode(doctorConfig);As per path instructions, ocx doctor "is read-only; it prints diagnostics and repair hints but does not apply repairs."

…nd a reliable watcher (lidge-jun#2999) All OpenCodex code reads the native-main ChatGPT credentials from one in-memory store instead of CODEX_HOME/auth.json. One module writes the file (refresh, device reauth, profile switch, rollback). Only the store observes the file: a directory watcher, a short stat timer and a forced check before every refresh and write. - Adopt only complete credentials; empty, partial or malformed content is a hiccup that keeps memory and blocks writes. - A missing file is a logout only after a grace period; no refresh or write during it. - Writes use temp file + rename and re-observe before the rename; an external change wins over the pending write. - A rotated refresh token is written right away; refresh and write stay under the existing CODEX_HOME claim. - Consumers that rejected a symlinked auth.json on base still do. Accepted risk: a Codex write that lands within the same split second as OpenCodex's rename can still be lost (needs a lock Codex also honors). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> This builds on dev 4ae4936, which already contains lidge-jun#7048 and lidge-jun#7035. "codex" mode is unchanged and starts from the in-memory copy. In "opencodex" mode, a save that the store refuses because another writer changed auth.json still serves the in-flight token to that request, while memory follows the file. That keeps the behavior of lidge-jun#7035. A confirmed deletion still gives no token. The desktop-compatibility identity reader (lidge-jun#6079) now reads through the store observe step.

Summary
Fixes #2999.
Codex owns
CODEX_HOME/auth.json: it rewrites the file in place and serializes refreshes only inside its own process. When OpenCodex refreshed the native main login itself, it could race Codex, overwrite a newer login, or retire the grant. This PR lets Codex own that refresh whenever a supported Codex binary is installed.New setting
nativeMainRefresh: "codex" | "opencodex":"codex"(the default when a supported binary is found): when the access token is stale, or upstream rejected it, OpenCodex starts a short-livedcodex -c model_provider="openai" app-serverunder the sameCODEX_HOMEand callsgetAuthStatus { includeToken: true, refreshToken: true }. It uses the returnedauthTokenfor the request and writes nothing. It never rereadsauth.jsonafterwards, because Codex in keyring mode deletes that file.authMethod: "chatgpt"with a nullauthTokenis the only permanent-failure signal on the wire, so it maps to reauth (the grant is marked rejected). An unreachable binary, a non-ChatGPT method, or the same/expired bearer is transient."opencodex", a missing binary, or a binary older than 0.130.0: the existing guarded writer, plus the in-flight-token behavior from fix(codex): serve the in-flight token when a native main save is refused #7035.The binary is found by the existing runtime resolver (
CODEX_CLI_PATH, the pinned runtime, real binaries behind the shim, PATH, and the ChatGPT.app bundle), and that resolver's--versionprobe is the version check. The 0.130.0 floor is conservative: from that release on, the handler withholds the token after a permanent refresh failure, andmodel_provider="openai"keeps authless Desktop injection (requires_openai_auth = false) from hiding the credential. The exchange runs only on the 30s refresh timeout, so caller cancellation cannot kill app-server mid-exchange. On timeout the call settles right away, and a child that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGKILL after 2s.ocx doctorprints a Native main refresh section with the active mode, binary and version, or the reason it fell back. Auto resolution never spawns Codex while the test home guard is armed.Known limits, unchanged by this PR: the spawned app-server is one more Codex refresher, and its in-process semaphore does not cover a Codex CLI or Desktop process that is already running, so a Codex-vs-Codex race is still possible (upstream
AuthManager). Native main still requiresauth.jsonto be present before any refresh; keyring-only logins were unsupported before and still are.Verification
