Summary

Combos could relabel their Codex picker row with displayName, but the row description was always the generated Routed via opencodex → combo (combo). text, and editing the published catalog was overwritten on the next sync. This adds an optional per-combo description, handled like displayName:

  • combos.<id>.description in config: string, at most 128 characters after trimming, no control characters (the full Unicode Cc class); an empty value clears it.
  • Management API PUT /api/combos accepts it. A write that omits it keeps the saved value, including on rename, because the dashboard does not edit it yet. "" clears it.
  • ocx combo set <id> --description <text|->, where - clears. The write receipt validator accepts the field.
  • When set, the combo's catalog row uses it. This applies to ordinary, bare and native aliases. Member descriptions are never inherited, and account-qualified native rows are untouched.

Several catalog maintenance paths recognized OpenCodex-authored rows by the generated description prefix: provider/combo removal, baseline-shadow restoration, native template selection, auto-review routed detection, exact-combo admission and native-residue detection. A custom description would have orphaned or misclassified the row. An overridden row now carries opencodex_routed_origin: "combo-v1", and the new src/codex/catalog/ownership.ts owns both signals and replaces every prefix check. Only that exact marker or the generated prefix confers authorship. Rows without an override keep their exact bytes.

A combo row retained from the previous catalog because its fresh derivation failed (for example a native-alias combo whose member provider is disabled) also gets the current description re-applied. Clearing it returns the generated text and removes the marker. The contract is documented in structure/catalog-routed-ownership.md.

Before: ocx combo set my-combo ... --description "Frontier intelligence" was rejected and combos.my-combo.description was ignored. After: the picker row reads "Frontier intelligence", and display name, slug and routing are unchanged.

Closes #7229

Verification

The branch was refreshed twice with merge commits, without force-push: b9d0c4d69b merged dev 5f6a62932c (#7282, #7283, #7266), and b97e728f3c merged dev d80dfcd2a4 (#7280). Neither merge had conflicts, and neither dev delta shares a path with this PR.

  • Current head b97e728f3c: bun run typecheck, structure:check, skill:surface:check and privacy:scan pass. Focused OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun scripts/test.ts over combo-description, combo-description-catalog, google-vertex-thought-signature, test-layout, test-layout-tooling and file-size-ratchet: 109 pass / 0 fail. Hosted CI for this head is reported in the lane status.
  • Head b9d0c4d69b: OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun run test:changed ran 40726 tests across 1865 files: 40618 pass / 108 skip / 0 fail, exit 0. A focused set including dev's Google, quota-rank, antigravity and compatibility regressions: 705 pass / 0 fail. Hosted run 39069064092 passed every check, including test 1/4–4/4.
  • Head 00fdb83950 (pre-refresh): hosted CI passed every check. test:changed gave 40589 pass / 1 fail; the failure was a contention timeout in skill-ocx-generated.test.ts, which passes alone. New tests 35/0; mutation check: removing the retained re-projection fails 4 tests.
  • Full bun run test was not run as a separate command. Eleven lane worktrees share this machine, and test:changed already reached 1865 files. Full-suite coverage relies on the hosted test shards.

No GUI change, so no screenshot.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. The English combos guide and all seven translated combo guides are updated, plus structure/catalog-routed-ownership.md and the regenerated operating-skill surface.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. No auth, credential or egress path is touched; the new field is display-only, length-bounded and control-character-free.

Combos could relabel their Codex picker row with displayName but the row
description was always the generated "Routed via opencodex → combo (combo)."
text. Add an optional combos.<id>.description, validated like displayName,
accepted by the management API (omission keeps the saved value, "" clears)
and by ocx combo set --description <text|->.

Catalog maintenance recognized OpenCodex-authored rows by that generated
prefix, so an overridden row now carries opencodex_routed_origin: "combo-v1".
src/codex/catalog/ownership.ts owns both signals and replaces every prefix
check (removal, shadow restore, template selection, auto-review, exact-combo
admission, native residue). Rows without an override are byte-identical.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds an optional description for combo catalog rows. The description can be validated and updated through the CLI or management API, then applied during catalog entry derivation and retained-row merges. Routed-row ownership detection uses shared authorship helpers and origin markers.

Changes: Combo catalog descriptions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Description contract and update paths
src/types/config.ts, src/combos/types.ts, src/cli/combo.ts, src/cli/combo-result.ts, src/server/management/combo-routes.ts, src/cli/capabilities-agents-routing.ts, skills/ocx/references/01_surface_agents-routing.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/combos.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/guides/combos.md, tests/routing/combo-description.test.ts
Adds an optional description field with string, length, and control-character validation. The CLI accepts --description and uses - to clear it. Management updates preserve the saved description when the field is omitted and use an explicitly supplied empty string to clear it. Tests and combo guides cover the contract and update paths.
Catalog descriptions and routed ownership
src/codex/catalog/{parsing,ownership,aggregation,derive-entry,build-entries,metadata,auto-review,routed-removal}.ts, src/codex/native-residue.ts, tests/codex-integration/combo-description-catalog.test.ts, structure/catalog-routed-ownership.md, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json
Catalog models now carry optional combo descriptions, which entry derivation applies instead of the generated description when present. Shared ownership helpers recognize routed rows using the combo origin marker or supported generated-description prefixes. Catalog integration tests cover description overrides, ownership checks, filtering, removal, and repeated sync output.
Retained-row projection and test indexing
src/codex/catalog/build-entries.ts, src/codex/catalog/retained-sync.ts, src/codex/convergence.ts, tests/codex-integration/combo-description-catalog.test.ts, structure/catalog-routed-ownership.md, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Catalog merges receive descriptions from the current configuration and reapply them to eligible retained combo rows. Integration tests cover merges, sync output, and description clearing. The structure index and test-layout mappings include the related documentation and tests.

Explanation

Issue [#7229] has coding requirements, and the reviewed head implements them. src/types/config.ts and src/combos/types.ts add and normalize description; comboConfigIssues requires a string, trims for the 128-character limit, rejects Unicode Cc controls, and clears blank values. src/server/management/combo-routes.ts preserves an omitted description during PUT and rename, while an explicit empty string clears it. src/cli/combo.ts supports --description &lt;text|-&gt;, and src/cli/combo-result.ts validates the receipt field. src/codex/catalog/aggregation.ts, src/codex/catalog/build-entries.ts, and src/codex/catalog/ownership.ts project the value to ordinary, bare, and native-alias combo rows without changing routing identity. The ownership marker preserves maintenance behavior for overridden rows. The implementation leaves member descriptions and account-qualified native rows unchanged. The reported routing and catalog tests cover validation boundaries, API omission and clearing, rename persistence, CLI behavior, alias boundaries, byte identity, and ownership maintenance.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes stay within [#7229]. src/codex/catalog/ownership.ts and its callers update ownership detection only to support custom combo descriptions and prevent removal, template selection, auto-review, and residue regressions. structure/catalog-routed-ownership.md, combo-guide updates, generated CLI surfaces, and the added tests document or verify this behavior. The catalog tests explicitly keep account-qualified native rows unchanged. No unrelated native-row description override or unrelated routing behavior is introduced.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 38.10% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 42 functions across 19 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Comment thread src/combos/types.ts Outdated
A combo row kept from the previous catalog when its fresh derivation fails
(for example a native-alias combo whose member provider is disabled)
bypassed deriveEntry, so changing or clearing the description in config did
not reach the picker. Config-aware merges now pass the current combo
descriptions and the retained loop re-applies them; a cleared override
returns the generated combo text and drops the marker.
Review follow-up for #7229: the description validator now rejects the full
Unicode Cc class (C1 included), with NEL/CSI regression cases, and the
Traditional Chinese combo guide lists --display-name/--description and the
description field like the other locales.
