Summary

ocx link status --json on a Home now reports each Child's version and a compatibility verdict, using only what the link already carries. It opens no SSH session to any Child.

  • What the Child sends. From 2.91.0, a Child adds x-opencodex-link-peer-version and x-opencodex-link-peer-features (its own buildPeerFeatures()) to the credential-free relay-auth challenge it already sends before every relayed request. An older Home ignores the headers.
  • What the Home records. link-relay-sessions records the report in memory only after the caller proof verifies, so the report is bound to the link key. It is display-only and never affects admission. A challenge for a link/key pair this Home issued that names a different relay-auth version is still refused, but the refusal is recorded so status can name the mismatch.
  • Published compatibility. src/link/compatibility.ts lists the first release of each link protocol part: relay-auth/2 in 2.69.0, link-management-relay in 2.84.0, and the new link-peer-report/1 in 2.91.0. Home /readyz features now includes link-peer-report/1 (registry from feat(readyz): advertise peer features from one registry #7477).
  • Verdicts. compatible, degraded (the Child reports a feature this Home does not serve; upgrade the Home), incompatible (refused relay-auth version; reasons names the side to upgrade) or unknown (no relayed request since the Home started).

For the current fleet (Children 2.83/2.86, relay-auth/2), version reports start once the Home runs this build. A pre-2.91 Child cannot report its exact release, so status gives the range its relay-auth implies:

"peer": { "version": null, "versionRange": { "min": "2.69.0", "below": "2.91.0" }, "relayAuth": "2",
          "compatibility": "compatible", "observedAt": "…", "features": null, "reasons": ["relay-auth/2 matches. …"] }

Once a Child runs 2.91.0+, peer.version and peer.features are exact. The top-level local block gives the Home's own {version, relayAuth, features}, the side every verdict compares against.

Compatibility of the status document itself. An older ocx link status validates /api/link/status key by key, so the new fields are opt-in through ?compatibility=1. The new CLI sends the query and accepts either shape. An older CLI, the dashboard, and older proxies see the exact previous document. tests/server/link-management-routes.test.ts keeps asserting that the admin answer without the query is exact.

Docs: structure/remote-link.md, structure/runtime.md, the Remote Link guide (new "Home and Child versions" section) and the /readyz feature list in the lifecycle reference.

Verification

All runs used isolated HOME, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR and OPENCODEX_HOME temp dirs and the pinned Bun 1.4.3 runner.

  • New tests/clients/link-peer-compatibility.test.ts (11 pass). It covers every verdict, header parsing and bounds, and a real Home listener lifecycle on a socket: a current Child through relayLinkDataRequest records the exact package version and features; a pre-report Child challenge records relay-auth only; a version mismatch is recorded only for a known link. It also checks the CLI round trip, rejection of a malformed peer, and acceptance of the old shape. The release table is checked against the live feature registry and the package version.
  • bun run typecheck: exit 0.
  • Focused set: readyz-features, cli-link, link-relay-bound-transport, link-management-routes, link-listener-{lifecycle,admission,mutation}, link-management-relay, client-link-relay, link-status-projection, proxy-liveness, server-live, core-lab-boundary, management-route-registry, client-machine-listener, skill-ocx, file-size-ratchet and test-layout: 393 pass, 0 fail. test-layout-tooling: 27 pass with the pinned runner.
  • bun run test:changed: 28770 pass, 38 skip, 0 fail, exit 0.
  • bun run test (under the machine lock): 51345 pass, 152 skip, 14 fail, exit 1. All 14 failures reproduce identically on a clean origin/dev checkout (79fa350) in the same environment: gemini-4-argon-antigravity 4, google-antigravity-oauth 1, google-antigravity-wire 1, client-fingerprint 2, desktop-compatibility-routing 5, and claude-desktop-remote-hub 1, the cold-restart case feat(readyz): advertise peer features from one registry #7477 also saw on base. None touch the link.
  • bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan: pass.
  • scripts/ci/windows-sensitive-diff.sh on this diff: windows=false (no path filter match, no marker).
  • Not run: a live Home↔Child pair over SSH, and macOS/Windows CI, which stays off PRs by policy.

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. The report headers carry only a semver string and static feature ids, are recorded only after the relay proof verifies, and never affect admission. The unauthenticated /readyz body gains one static id.

P2 Badge Avoid marking partial peer reports compatible

When a Child supplies a valid version but its feature header is missing or rejected (for example because a newer Child exceeds MAX_FEATURES), parseLinkPeerReport deliberately returns { version, features: null }, yet this branch labels the peer compatible and claims that it predates peer reporting. Since the Home cannot determine whether it serves that Child's features—and the reported version may prove it does not predate the protocol—this produces a false compatibility verdict; partial reports should be treated as unknown/degraded rather than compatible.

Fixed in dee9c26: only a report with neither field (a pre-2.91 Child) is compatible with a versionRange. A partial report, where the version or the feature list is missing or rejected, is now unknown with a reason naming the unreadable field. Covered by the new partial-report case in tests/clients/link-peer-compatibility.test.ts.

Security summary (owner-path merge; no maintainer security review is available).

What changed (auth-adjacent): a 2.91.0+ Child adds x-opencodex-link-peer-version and x-opencodex-link-peer-features to the credential-free relay-auth challenge it already sends (src/client/link-relay-transport.ts). The Home (src/server/index/link-relay-sessions.ts, src/link/peer-report.ts) records them in memory ONLY after the caller's relay-auth proof verifies, so a report is bound to the link key that proved it. Status projects them with a verdict from a static table (src/link/compatibility.ts).

Threats considered:

  • Admission: the report is display-only and never consulted for admission, routing or authorization. A Home issued by an older or different relay-auth version still refuses exactly as before; the refusal is now only recorded so status can name the mismatch.
  • Spoofing: an unauthenticated or unverified caller cannot plant a report, because nothing is stored before the proof verifies. Reports live in memory, are never persisted, and are cleared on restart (verdict unknown).
  • Injection and size: header values are parsed into a bounded version string and feature tokens and rendered as JSON data, never interpolated into commands or HTML. Review note: a malformed value yields unknown, never a crash.
  • Information exposure: a peer report reveals only release and feature names, which /readyz already publishes. The new status fields are opt-in through ?compatibility=1, so older CLIs, the dashboard and older proxies see the exact previous document (pinned by tests/server/link-management-routes.test.ts).
  • Downgrade: an older Home ignores the headers; an older Child shows a version range inferred from relay-auth/2, never a guessed exact version.

Tests: tests/clients/link-peer-compatibility.test.ts (196 lines: verdicts, bound-to-proof recording, refused-version recording, malformed headers), link-management-routes (unchanged admin answer without the query) and readyz-features (link-peer-report/1). Required CI is green on 0724a98c0. The selector reports it is not Windows-sensitive.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Include compatibility fields in the offline Home status.

If runtime discovery returns 503, Line 305 prints localStatus(store, deps) before the new compatibility request at Line 311. For a Home with stored links, ocx link status --json then omits local and every link’s peer block. That differs from the Home status described in docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md at Line 130. Apply attachLinkPeers to this fallback with the local build identity and empty observations, so each stored link reports unknown when the Home is offline.

Merged with owner authority per maintainer decision 2026-10-21 (jun): the project owner authorized owner-path (--admin) merges for the pending green PRs after the 2.90.0 release; no second-maintainer approval is available.

Exact-head verification on d1437543859ea02707e22ed0e18fe209d408e291: all checks completed with no failures, the PR is mergeable, there are no change requests, and no unresolved current Major/Critical/P0/P1 review threads. A local squash of this head onto current dev f20afd9f0 passed typecheck, structure:check, the file-size, import-cycle and test-layout ratchets, and this PR's own tests ( 159 pass 0 fail ). Windows-sensitive: false; PR CI never runs Windows (AGENTS.md CI policy), so a Windows-sensitive PR merges only after a green lane=all dispatch.
