Summary

Adds confirmed updates for provenance-verified POSIX npm-global Codex CLI installations. Apply revalidates the plan, verifies the main and platform artifacts, installs into the bound prefix, and checks the resulting files and version. CLI and trusted-local management API consumers share a durable, request-ID-deduplicated job record.

Store contention returns 503 job_store_busy with Retry-After: 1. Completion-write retries preserve the actual installer result without reinstalling. If persistence ultimately fails, CLI human and JSON output retain the normalized outcome, reason, lease state and cleanup codes while exiting 1; durable completion remains unverified. The protected ledger retains 64 request IDs; capacity maintenance and explicit stale-lock recovery remain follow-up work.

The cache-isolation parent #7585 has landed, so this PR targets dev. #7596 is the Windows planning child, followed by #7614's process-lifetime helper. Windows apply, native bundles, shim restoration and the dashboard panel remain separate parts of #2811.

Verification

  • Current source HEAD: 6aac61f6480bdea9875f3e125a83aa5373614f2e, a normal merge of the validated c7dcd657 follow-up with dev at c4d4bb2da2162e23c314befafc5ec104292902a0. The CLI persistence-result behavior is preserved.
  • Pinned Bun 1.4.3 CLI/layout regression: 64 passed, 18 POSIX-only skips, 0 failed, 856 assertions. TypeScript, structure SSOT, privacy, file-size ratchet and diff checks passed. Tests exercise human/JSON outcomes, private-field removal, single installer execution and the generic-error path. The three persistence-result cases were demonstrated failing before the fix.
  • Current-head CI completed SUCCESS for 6aac61f6480bdea9875f3e125a83aa5373614f2e. The previous c7dcd657 CI passed; it is not used as verification of this new merge. Focused local testing avoids concurrent full-suite contention; broader coverage is left to the required CI. Local Windows skips and skipped hosted lanes do not establish native POSIX acceptance.
  • Explicit maintainer security review remains required before merge for dependency-installation and filesystem boundaries. No live installation, account, service or configuration was changed.

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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added confirmed Codex CLI updates for supported Linux and macOS npm-global installations, with installation verification and clear outcomes.
    • Added job status lookup and request-ID retries to recover from lost responses.
    • Added management dashboard endpoints for update plans, confirmed applications, and job status.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CLI and management references with supported installation types, confirmation requirements, outcomes, and retry behavior. Windows, shims, and other installation types remain unsupported.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for artifact validation, installation and verification, job handling, and management routes.

📝 Walkthrough

The Codex CLI update flow now supports artifact-bound plans, confirmed POSIX npm-global application, and durable job status. CLI and management API routes expose plan, apply, and status operations. Tests cover artifact validation, job lifecycle, installation readback, and route behavior.

Changes: Codex CLI update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bind plans to verified installation content
bin/ocx.mjs, src/codex/cli-install-provenance.ts, src/codex/cli-update-artifacts.ts, src/codex/cli-update-files.ts, src/codex/cli-update-inspection-context.ts, src/codex/cli-update-plan.ts, src/update/codex-cli-update-launch-policy.mjs, tests/cli/cli-codex-cli-update-boundary.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-integrity.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-launcher-policy.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-plan.test.ts, tests/helpers/codex-cli-apply-artifact.ts
Plan IDs now include the resolved platform artifact-set digest. Artifact and filesystem helpers verify package metadata, archive content, and installation preimages. The launcher captures inspection context for matching non-Windows commands.
Persist and expose update jobs
src/codex/cli-update-job.ts, src/codex/cli-update-job-execution.ts, src/cli/codex-cli-update.ts, src/cli/capabilities-base.ts, tests/cli/cli-codex-cli-update.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-zero-effect.test.ts
The CLI accepts confirmed apply and status commands. The job store supports request-ID deduplication, bounded admission, lifecycle projection, and generation- and revision-fenced completion.
Verify and apply updates
src/codex/cli-update-lease.ts, src/codex/cli-update-apply.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-apply.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-cli-update-artifacts.test.ts, tests/helpers/codex-cli-apply-fixture.ts
Apply acquires an installation lease, stages and verifies artifacts, installs offline with scripts disabled, and checks installed files and the selected CLI version. Tests cover refusal, applied, unchanged, ambiguous, and cleanup outcomes.
Serve update plans and jobs
src/server/management-api.ts, src/server/management/codex-cli-update-routes.ts, src/server/management/route-registry.ts, tests/server/management-route-registry.test.ts, tests/cli/cli-headless-parity.test.ts
The management API serves plan and job reads and admits apply requests only for a GUI session with trusted loopback ingress. The route registry and tests cover endpoint behavior and CLI capability parity.
Document and register the update commands
docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/agents.md, skills/ocx/references/*, structure/*, src/cli/registry.ts, src/cli/system-command.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout-codex-collision.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
References describe apply, status, supported installation scope, and job behavior. CLI help, capability counts, documentation mappings, and test-layout mappings include the new commands and tests.

Explanation

The title "feat(codex): add confirmed POSIX CLI updates and durable job status" matches the main change. The changeset adds an explicit, confirmed ocx system codex-cli-update apply command for POSIX npm-global Codex CLI installs. It also adds a durable, request-ID-deduplicated job store with a status command, and the PR objectives state the same scope. The title omits the plan-binding, artifact verification, and management-route parts, but those are supporting details and not a title failure. The title is concise, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 98 functions across 30 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

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

The base branch was deleted immediately after #7585 merged, leaving this PR closed with its POSIX delta still absent from dev. Reopened and retargeted to dev at 76b4ee0b262c2b78104563c2833abbf49cad34c4 using history-preserving merges. The delta remains 42 files and excludes the landed cache changes; the temporary base restoration has been removed.

Current-head CI completed successfully (15 jobs passed; 8 policy skips). Earlier CI results remain historical evidence, and maintainer security review is still required before merge.

Stack order is #7586 → #7596 → #7614. Please retarget each open child to dev before deleting its merged parent's branch, so branch cleanup does not close the next review unit.
