Purpose

Implements the Spec 006 T079 bounded Codex App Server connected-proof harness. Repository authority remains AGENTS.md -> constitution -> Spec 006 spec.md -> plan.md -> tasks.md.

Current changed-file scope remains exactly:

  • specs/006-agentic-terminal-local-delegation-control-plane/tasks.md
  • src/agentic_codex.rs
  • src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs

Current exact candidate

PR=80
BRANCH=impl/006-t079-bounded-codex-connected-proof
HEAD=9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651
SEMANTIC_PARENT=be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94
BASE_MAIN=06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197

All candidate-bound evidence from earlier heads is historical unless re-established on 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651.

Review reconciliation and repair

The historical same-user host-process configuration race finding remains classified NON_MATERIAL / OUT_OF_CONTRACT after reconciliation against the canonical Spec 006/T079 threat boundary. Spec 006 does not promise hostile same-user host isolation or a general OS sandbox; direct host bypass remains a weaker enforcement boundary that must be reported truthfully. Expanding T079 into mount/fanotify/immutable/kernel isolation would broaden the task beyond its authorized scope and violate the simplicity/YAGNI gate.

The two in-contract material provenance findings are repaired in semantic parent be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94:

  1. Non-Windows Codex child launch no longer inherits host TMPDIR; the explicit launch environment removes that fixture-controlled provenance path.
  2. thread/start validation requires the returned native thread.cwd to exactly match the repository checkout root before the connected run can be accepted.

The exact-head child commit 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651 is rustfmt-only and does not weaken either semantic repair.

Exact-head deterministic qualification

Current GitHub Actions on 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651:

release-candidate #593 = SUCCESS
windows-terminal  #538 = SUCCESS
quality           #835 = SUCCESS
CodeRabbit exact-head status = SUCCESS (review evidence only; not independent approval authority for its own formatting commit)

Exact-head author correctness/safety/evidence-integrity review and Ponytail/YAGNI review are recorded on the PR. Both explicitly remain author evidence only and do not authorize merge or canonical closure.

All currently returned inline review threads are resolved.

No qualifying independent non-Codex/GPT approval is currently established on exact head 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651. Historical Qodo reviews are tied to earlier candidate heads. Fresh exact-head independent-review requests are now established as successful GitHub writes:

  • Qodo exact-head request: issue comment 5463283361
  • canonical /review trigger with exact-head instructions: issue comment 5463505922

No qualifying exact-head Qodo disposition has appeared after those requests. Per the constitution, the independent-review gate therefore remains BLOCKED_REVIEWER_REQUIRED until a qualifying exact-head reviewer disposition is actually present in live repository truth.

Connected-proof authority and governed preflight

The historical one-shot attempt on 9ba0779fe8c99a9b6831379d8547b542af6d6074 is consumed and remains historical FAIL_CLOSED evidence.

The currently available execution environment was re-checked without reading credential/config contents or changing authentication state:

CODEX_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
CARGO_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
RUSTC_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
CODEX_HOME_STATE=UNSET
WINDS_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=UNAVAILABLE
CANDIDATE_PROCESS_LAUNCHED=NO
CODEX_PROMPT_SENT=NO
CURRENT_RETRY_ATTEMPT_CONSUMED=NO

This environment therefore cannot produce the real bounded local Codex App Server round-trip evidence. Do not manufacture that proof by installing Codex, authenticating Codex, copying credentials/configuration, automating login or terms acceptance, substituting remote/CI execution, cloning a checkout solely to manufacture proof, or weakening governance.

The founder has already authorized one exact-head bounded proof conditionally on a governed preflight finding a legitimate pre-existing Codex runtime and exact Winds checkout. That authorization does not waive any proof, review, scope, or merge gate and becomes stale if the candidate head moves.

No exact-head connected execution was started in this continuation.

Required continuation

  1. Obtain and re-read a qualifying independent non-Codex/GPT exact-head review; reconcile every material finding, if any.
  2. Re-check exact-head Actions/review status after any candidate movement; any new commit invalidates candidate-bound final-gate evidence.
  3. Re-check the governed local connected-proof preflight only without reading/copying credentials or changing authentication state.
  4. Only if the real local runtime already exists, every preflight condition is satisfied, and the exact-SHA authorization required by canonical governance is present may the one bounded proof be launched once; never retry automatically.
  5. Only after successful proof evidence, independent review, zero unresolved material findings, and the canonical landing gate may T079 be closed.
  6. Never claim PASS, MERGED, COMPLETE_CANONICAL, or CLOSED_CANONICAL without exact-head and, where applicable, post-merge evidence.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds test-only T079 protocol tracking, request correlation, identity binding, strict notification validation, connected-proof containment checks, regression coverage, and sanitized rejection diagnostics. It also updates the required acceptance evidence.

Changes

T079 connected proof

Layer / File(s) Summary
T079 protocol state tracking
src/agentic_codex.rs
T079 uses experimental API mode, disables remoteControl/status/changed, builds bounded single-shot requests, tracks pending requests, validates responses, binds identities, and clears dependent state after errors or terminal events.
T079 notification validation
src/agentic_codex.rs
Notifications require exact phases, identities, fields, values, and nested schemas. Fixtures and tests cover malformed, incomplete, mismatched, invalid, and out-of-order payloads.
Proof boundaries and diagnostics
src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs, specs/006-agentic-terminal-local-delegation-control-plane/tasks.md
The proof harness checks configuration isolation, platform containment, stderr handling, sealed executable snapshots, and the pinned structured result. Requirements define authority boundaries. Rejection diagnostics expose only protocol shapes and bounded object-key counts.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to eb5a9

This PR adds a local connected-proof harness, but the current head still has unresolved isolation and protocol-state correctness risks, and required formatting, validation, and exact-head review are incomplete. It should not merge until those issues are fixed and the final checks and reviews pass.

Canonical base: 06e5154

Correctness/safety review completed against the final two-file diff and current Codex App Server protocol. The earlier environment-isolation gap was not waived: it was repaired by T079-only experimental opt-in plus explicit empty environments/runtime roots/dynamic tools/capability roots, returned-root/instruction-source validation, and future-fail-closed item handling. Stable T077 initialization remains stable-only.

Verified invariants:

  • mandatory initialize -> successful response -> initialized before later requests;
  • exact runtime identity and exact locally observed version revalidated before launch;
  • one ephemeral thread and one fixed bounded prompt only;
  • no arbitrary model/prompt/tool/policy surface;
  • approvalPolicy=never plus explicit decline on unexpected command/file approvals;
  • readOnly + networkAccess=false;
  • environment access disabled explicitly;
  • zero runtime workspace roots and zero instruction sources required from thread evidence;
  • MCP/tool/hook/web-search/image-generation/collaboration/subagent/diff activity is non-authorizing and fail-closed;
  • unknown item kinds are fail-closed;
  • native thread identity remains separate from Winds session identity;
  • model output remains AGENT_RUNTIME_EVIDENCE_NOT_VERIFIED_OR_ACCEPTED;
  • cleanup targets only the directly owned child; mutated disposable context is preserved rather than erased;
  • no migration, store/domain schema, dependency, main.rs, generic agent surface, or landing automation change.

Exact-head gates:

  • quality #739: PASS
  • windows-terminal #445: PASS
  • release-candidate #502: PASS after same-SHA T063 Windows timing rerun; no code mutation or waiver
  • unit: 242 pass / 0 fail / 3 ignored
  • T079 deterministic: 7/7 PASS
  • live T079 proof: intentionally still PENDING

PONYTAIL_T079_PASS_NO_REQUIRED_REMOVALS

Exact head: 081998e

YAGNI/minimum-surface review: PASS.

The final diff is limited to the existing Codex protocol module plus one focused T079 test module. The implementation does not add a JSON-RPC framework, async runtime, persistence/migration, generic model chooser, arbitrary prompt API, reusable approval engine, ACP/MCP integration, daemon IPC, remote execution, provider abstraction, primary-checkout mutation, PR/push/merge automation, or automatic landing.

The T079-only experimental initializer is justified by a concrete upstream protocol requirement: explicit environments=[], runtimeWorkspaceRoots=[], dynamicTools=[], and selectedCapabilityRoots=[] are needed to make the first connected proof fail closed rather than inherit default environment/capability surfaces. The normal T077 initializer remains unchanged in behavior.

No further extraction/generalization is required before the first bounded connected proof. Persistence is not required to satisfy T079 provenance because the receipt binds the supplied Winds session id to the returned native thread/turn identities without conflating those namespaces.

T079 is the first bounded real-Codex proof surface, but the live proof has NOT run yet. Please focus on material correctness, protocol compatibility, fail-closed authority, environment/MCP/tool isolation, process cleanup/ownership, provenance separation, and any path that could mutate the primary checkout or widen permissions. Do not infer verification/acceptance from model output. Report all material findings on this exact head.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Mock Codex server for deterministic integration
  • ➕ Runs in CI without requiring local Codex install/authentication
  • ➕ Deterministic fixtures for notifications/server requests and transcript limits
  • ➖ Does not validate real binary identity/version and process-level isolation
  • ➖ Requires maintaining a faithful mock of evolving Codex protocol behavior
2. Reuse a generic JSON-RPC/JSONL transport harness
  • ➕ Less bespoke frame-loop code (timeouts, byte limits, parsing)
  • ➕ Easier to share across future connected proofs
  • ➖ May weaken fail-closed semantics if the abstraction auto-handles events/requests
  • ➖ Extra abstraction cost for a single tightly-scoped proof
3. Expose configurable knobs (prompt/policies) behind the harness
  • ➕ Can reuse the harness for additional proofs without duplicating code
  • ➕ Easier experimentation across isolation settings
  • ➖ Conflicts with T079’s goal of a fixed, non-caller-configurable contract
  • ➖ Increases risk of accidentally widening authority surface

Recommendation: Keep the PR’s fixed-contract approach: T079’s value is a bounded, non-configurable proof that fails closed on any authority expansion. If CI coverage is desired later, add a lightweight mock-server test alongside (not instead of) the ignored live proof.

code-review please perform a fresh independent review of exact head 081998e34d40b4689eb9ed5d31511320292b7f6c. Treat prior heads as historical. T079 remains bounded and unmerged; the live Codex proof is still pending. Please report any material correctness, safety, App Server protocol, fail-closed authority, environment/tool isolation, cleanup/ownership, provenance, or scope/YAGNI findings on the current exact head. No material finding may be waived.

Fresh review of the supplied T079 diff identifies three material findings:

finding 1 — Unknown runtime notifications are not rejected (high)

is_forbidden_activity only rejects a blacklist of method-name substrings and a blacklist of known item.type values. In run_connected_proof and wait_for_response, any other notification is silently accepted. A newly introduced or differently named tool, command, network, hook, environment, or side-channel event could therefore occur without failing the proof. This is not fail-closed isolation.

Location: src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs, is_forbidden_activity and notification handling around lines 346–372 and 603–621.

Recommendation: Replace the blacklist with an explicit allowlist of the exact notification methods and item types required for this proof; reject every unknown method/type, including notifications with unexpected parameter shapes.

finding 2 — Effective-config validation is an incomplete allowlist (high)

validate_effective_config checks only seven hard-coded keys and treats all other config fields as harmless. A future/current App Server config surface—such as permissions, network access, model behavior, workspace roots, environment inheritance, or plugin/extension settings—can remain active while the proof proceeds. The test therefore does not establish that the effective configuration is isolated.

Location: src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs, lines 97–119.

Recommendation: Validate the complete App Server effective-config schema/version and require an explicitly empty or disabled configuration, rejecting unknown keys and unexpected value shapes. If the API cannot provide a complete authoritative config, fail the proof rather than relying on selected fields.

finding 3 — Spawned Codex can be leaked on setup failure (medium)

After Command::spawn, failures while taking stdin or stdout return immediately from run_connected_proof without terminating and reaping the owned child. Child does not automatically kill the process on drop, so this can leave an unmanaged Codex App Server running. The disposable root also remains in several pre-proof error paths.

Location: src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs, lines 505–520 and the early-return paths before the cleanup block at 655–658.

Recommendation: Put child ownership under an RAII cleanup guard immediately after spawn, or explicitly kill/reap on every subsequent setup failure; separately remove the temporary root on all failure paths where it remains unchanged.

The bounded prompt, fixed request construction, approval decline behavior, empty workspace roots, read-only/no-network request fields, identity revalidation, transcript limits, and direct-child cleanup on the normal proof path otherwise look directionally sound. The ignored live proof remains pending, and these issues should be addressed before treating T079 as a completed safety proof.

Action required

1. Unsupported Linux arch breaks proof ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
On Linux architectures other than x86_64/aarch64, the harness still installs the pre_exec seccomp
hook even though the filter implementation returns Unsupported, causing Codex child spawns to fail
at runtime rather than cleanly skipping/short-circuiting the proof. This can break CI or developer
runs on other Linux architectures with a confusing spawn error instead of an explicit “unsupported
platform/arch” decision.
Code

src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs[R1063-1074]

+#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
+fn configure_t079_process_descendant_denial(command: &mut Command) {
+    use std::os::unix::process::CommandExt;
+
+    // This hook is registered before process_scope::spawn_owned_process adds its
+    // own hook. It blocks process creation but deliberately permits setsid/prctl,
+    // so the later owned-scope hook can still establish the session boundary and
+    // its independent anti-escape filter. clone3 returns ENOSYS so libc thread
+    // creation can fall back to clone; clone is accepted only with CLONE_THREAD.
+    unsafe {

This is a concrete unsupported-platform runtime failure, matching the team’s recent preference for
fail-closed availability decisions.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The PR adds a seccomp installation function that is always used on target_os=linux, but the actual
filter is only implemented for x86_64/aarch64. On other Linux architectures the filter returns
Unsupported; because it is registered via pre_exec, this manifests as a spawn failure rather
than a controlled/clear harness decision.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
On non-x86_64/aarch64 Linux, `configure_t079_process_descendant_denial()` always registers `CommandExt::pre_exec(install_t079_no_process_descendants_filter)`, but `install_t079_no_process_descendants_filter()` is `Unsupported` on those arches. This makes every child spawn (version probe + app-server) fail at runtime instead of cleanly failing early with a clear reason or being skipped.

### Issue Context
The proof is intended to be Linux/WSL2-only today, but it is currently only gated by `target_os = "linux"`, not by architecture.

### Fix Focus Areas
- src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs[1052-1075]

### Suggested fix
- Add an explicit `cfg` gate so that the live proof path (or at least the call sites that spawn children) is only compiled/enabled for `linux && (x86_64 || aarch64)`.
 - Example options:
   - Change `run_connected_proof` (and/or `observe_version_bounded`) to `#[cfg(all(target_os="linux", any(target_arch="x86_64", target_arch="aarch64")))]` and provide a clear `#[cfg(not(...))]` implementation returning a pinned “unsupported arch” error.
   - Or modify `configure_t079_process_descendant_denial()` to no-op (or return an explicit error) when the filter is unsupported, and ensure callers surface a deterministic “unsupported arch” message before attempting spawn.

2. Nested keys not bounded ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
t079_notification_allowed() enforces exact keys only at the top-level params object, but does not
enforce exact key sets for nested objects like status/thread/turn, so extra fields can be present
while still passing the allowlist. This undermines the stated “exact phase-bound
allowlist”/fail-closed intent of T079 by allowing side-channel data through allowed notifications.

PR-#78

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The error message and gating code state T079 must fail closed outside an “exact phase-bound
allowlist”, but the allowlist only enforces exact keys for the top-level params object and then only
checks the presence/value of a single nested field (e.g., status.type), permitting extra nested
fields to pass unnoticed.

## Issue description
`t079_notification_allowed()` checks `exact_object_keys()` only for the top-level `params` object, but it accepts nested objects (`status`, `thread`, `turn`) with arbitrary extra keys. This contradicts the code’s own “exact phase-bound allowlist” contract and weakens the bounded-proof guarantees.

## Issue Context
T079’s notification gate is intended to fail closed on any notification outside an exact allowlist. Today, allowed notifications can include additional nested fields without being rejected.

## Fix Focus Areas
- src/agentic_codex.rs[598-703]

## Suggested fix
- For each allowed method, apply strict key-set validation to nested objects too:
 - `thread/started`: require `thread` object keys exactly `["id"]` (or whatever minimal set is truly required).
 - `thread/status/changed`: require `status` object keys exactly `["type"]`.
 - `turn/started` / `turn/completed`: require `turn` object keys exactly `["id","status"]`.
 - For `item/*` notifications, if you intend strictness, validate the `item` object key set (or at least reject presence of keys known to carry authority/tool/workspace signals).
- Add/extend the existing T079 notification regression tests to prove that extra nested keys (e.g., `{"status":{"type":"idle","extra":true}}`) are rejected with `UnexpectedT079Notification`.

3. CLOEXEC cleared leaks fd ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
bind_verified_native_codex_executable() clears FD_CLOEXEC on the verified executable fd, and

## Issue description
`bind_verified_native_codex_executable()` clears `FD_CLOEXEC` on the open fd backing the verified Codex executable. Because the returned `BoundCodexExecutable` keeps the `File` open, that fd becomes inheritable by *any* subsequent `Command::spawn()` in the same test process while the bound executable is alive, leaking the verified handle into unrelated children.

## Issue Context
This is intended to be a “handle-bound” launch, but making the fd globally inheritable in the parent process is broader than needed and breaks isolation.

## Suggested fix
- Avoid clearing `FD_CLOEXEC` in the parent process.
 - Prefer: remove the `F_SETFD` call entirely if `/proc/self/fd/{fd}` exec works without it (likely), since the child resolves `/proc/self/fd/*` before CLOEXEC close occurs.
 - If you find CLOEXEC really must be cleared: scope it to the single spawn (e.g., duplicate fd or adjust flags only in the forked child via `CommandExt::pre_exec`), and ensure the parent does not leave an inheritable fd around longer than necessary.
- Add a Linux-only test that asserts the parent fd remains `FD_CLOEXEC` (or that no extra inheritable fds are present) after constructing the bound executable, to prevent regressions.

4. Detached reaper waits forever ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
hand_off_child_reap() spawns a detached thread that calls child.wait() with no timeout, so if

## Issue description
`hand_off_child_reap()` detaches a thread that blocks on `child.wait()` forever. This can leak threads and process handles across the rest of the test run when a child doesn’t terminate cleanly, violating the stated “bounded” behavior.

## Issue Context
This path is reachable from `finish_child()` when `kill()` fails or when the child cannot be reaped within the cleanup deadline. Detaching a `wait()` thread is especially risky in `cargo test`, because the process stays alive to run other tests and the detached thread can persist indefinitely.

## Suggested fix
- Eliminate the detached `child.wait()` thread.
- Use an existing bounded owned-process/scope primitive if available (e.g. `spawn_owned_process` / `OwnedProcess`) so cleanup can:
 - terminate the process group/job,
 - poll `try_wait()` until deadline,
 - and then return boundedly with explicit “cleanup unproven” evidence without leaving background threads.
- If you must keep a reaper, make it a single long-lived global reaper worker that you can feed `Child` handles to (so you don’t spawn per-failure threads), and ensure the worker itself uses bounded polling + escalation rather than blocking `wait()` forever.

(Keep the current “fail closed” semantics; the goal is to preserve boundedness and avoid resource leaks.)

### Issue description
`finish_child()` attempts bounded cleanup, but when it times out after `kill()`, it returns an error without guaranteeing that the direct child is reaped. Because `std::process::Child` does not automatically reap/kill on drop, this can leave zombies (or a still-running child if kill failed earlier) after `run_connected_proof()` returns an error.

### Issue Context
This code is meant to be a *bounded* proof harness. Even on failure paths, it should not leak OS resources (zombies / lingering child processes).

### Fix Focus Areas
- src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs[487-526]
- src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs[746-760]

### What to change
- In the `finish_child()` timeout branch after a successful `kill()`, ensure the direct child will be reaped eventually without introducing an unbounded wait. Options that satisfy the bounded contract:
 - Spawn a short-lived background “reaper” thread that calls `child.wait()` (or a bounded `try_wait` loop) after `kill()` succeeds, so the parent process doesn’t retain a zombie even when the main proof returns.
 - Alternatively, wrap the subprocess in an owned-process guard type that performs best-effort bounded reap in `Drop` (similar to the `OwnedProcess` cleanup pattern used elsewhere in the repo).
- Ensure all error-return paths from `run_connected_proof()` still trigger the best-effort reap strategy.

Evidence
The harness joins the reader thread (reader.join()), but the reader thread’s loop blocks on

guarantee EOF if descendants inherited stdout. This reproduces the previously-fixed “join can block
forever after kill” pattern.

## Issue description
`run_connected_proof` spawns a stdout reader thread and then unconditionally `join()`s it during cleanup. The reader thread blocks on a pipe read until EOF, so if the Codex process spawns descendants that inherit and keep the stdout FD open, the join can block forever. This breaks the intended global timeout bounds.

## Issue Context
This is the same class of bug previously fixed elsewhere: killing/reaping the direct child is not sufficient to guarantee pipe EOF if descendants keep the write end open, and joining reader threads without enforcing scope termination can hang indefinitely.

## Implementation direction
- Ensure the spawned Codex process is run in an owned/contained process scope (process group on Unix, job object on Windows) so descendants cannot outlive cleanup.
 - Prefer reusing existing process-scope utilities if available (e.g., `process_scope::spawn_owned_process(...)` and `terminate_and_prove(...)` patterns).
- During cleanup, terminate the entire owned scope before waiting/joining so stdout is guaranteed to close.
- Enforce a bounded cleanup deadline (e.g., `LIVE_PROOF_TIMEOUT` reserved window) that covers:
 - scope termination,
 - direct child reap,
 - reader thread completion.
- If scope termination cannot be proven within the cleanup deadline, fail the proof with an explicit error rather than blocking.

Description
If turn/completed arrives before the pending turn/start response, the completion path clears
t079_turn_id without recording a terminal state, allowing the delayed response to rebind the

while awaiting the response, record_t079_response later sees the pending request and restores the
response ID whenever the field is None, after which notification admission uses that restored ID

The client explicitly permits `turn/started` and subsequent completion before the correlated response because notifications are processed while the connected proof waits for that response. Preserve a distinct terminal/completed state so the eventual matching response can still be validated without restoring active-notification admission, and add regression coverage for `turn/started` → `turn/completed` → `turn/start` response ordering followed by a post-completion notification.

13. Unpinned METHOD_CLASS set ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability
Description
The spec introduces a “closed, compile-time-static Codex 0.149 METHOD_CLASS” and per-class pinned
key sets, but it does not enumerate the allowed classes or their pinned parameter-key sets, making
the diagnostic surface unauditable and easy to expand without a spec change.
Code

specs/006-agentic-terminal-local-delegation-control-plane/tasks.md[305]

+- when a T079 notification has already failed the exact allowlist with `UnexpectedT079Notification`, rejection diagnostics may additionally classify its method into a closed, compile-time-static Codex 0.149 `METHOD_CLASS` and report bounded `KNOWN_KEY_COUNT` / `UNKNOWN_KEY_COUNT` values against that class's statically pinned top-level parameter-key set; known classes are diagnostic labels only, unknown/non-string methods render only as `UNKNOWN_METHOD`, and no class or key count may change admissibility, bind thread/turn identity, mutate request/handshake state, grant authority, or convert rejection into acceptance. Existing static proof-phase and JSON shape categories plus the statically named nested object counts for `thread`, `turn`, `item`, `status`, and `tokenUsage` may remain. All counts saturate at `u16::MAX` (`65535`). Never record attacker-controlled raw method text, unknown object-key text, raw params, scalar values, IDs, paths, prompt/model text, config values, credential material, or other payload contents. Compute all classification/key-count metadata only after the protocol client has already failed closed, so accepted frames incur no rejection-metadata parse/classification and the diagnostic path is non-authoritative. This diagnostic authority does not admit `model/rerouted`, `model/verification`, `model/safetyBuffering/updated`, `turn/moderationMetadata`, `error`, `warning`, `guardianWarning`, wildcard methods, or any other previously inadmissible notification;

Evidence
The spec mandates a closed METHOD_CLASS taxonomy and per-class pinned key sets but provides no
enumerated list. The implementation necessarily defines an explicit enum and per-class pinned key
lists; without pinning those in the spec, future changes to the enum or key lists can expand
diagnostics while still claiming to satisfy the spec’s “closed” requirement.

## Issue description
The T079 spec text introduces `METHOD_CLASS` and per-class pinned parameter-key sets for rejection diagnostics, but doesn’t list the allowed classes or the exact pinned key sets. That makes the “closed/compile-time-static” claim hard to verify and weakens spec-to-code traceability for a security-sensitive logging path.

## Issue Context
Implementation already hard-codes a method-class enum and a per-class list of known parameter keys, and logs `METHOD_CLASS`, `KNOWN_KEY_COUNT`, and `UNKNOWN_KEY_COUNT`.

Evidence
The spec’s T079 safety boundary explicitly constrains what rejection diagnostics may record, but the
updated implementation adds different diagnostic fields (method_shape, params_shape, and
key-count fields). The cited code shows the emitted fields; the cited spec excerpt shows the allowed
diagnostic content, so the new behavior is not described in the active spec documents.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
In `t079_notification_allowed`, the fields `summaryIndex` and `contentIndex` are treated as generic JSON numbers (`Value::is_number`). This allows floats (e.g., `0.5`) and negatives (e.g., `-1`) to be accepted, which contradicts the intended fail-closed, exact-shape validation used elsewhere for index-like fields.

### Issue Context
Other index-like fields (e.g., `byteRange.start/end`) are validated as `u64`, indicating the intended strictness level.

### Fix Focus Areas

### Suggested change
- Replace `params.get("summaryIndex").is_some_and(Value::is_number)` with `...and_then(Value::as_u64).is_some()` (or `is_some_and(|v| v.as_u64().is_some())`).
- Replace `params.get("contentIndex").is_some_and(Value::is_number)` with the same `as_u64`-based check.
- Optionally add a regression test mirroring the existing negative-time tests to ensure negative/float indexes are rejected.

17. Negative timestamps accepted ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The new T079 validators treat any i64 as valid for timestamp/duration fields (including negative

the intended fail-closed guarantees for the connected proof and can mask protocol regressions.

288-314: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Bound the frame reader, not only the frame consumer.

The reader thread enforces the per-frame cap and then pushes into an unbounded channel. MAX_CONNECTED_BYTES and MAX_CONNECTED_FRAMES apply only in receive_frame. A server that streams frames faster than the proof consumes them can therefore hold far more than 1 MiB in the channel queue.

Use mpsc::sync_channel with a small bound, or track the cumulative byte count in the reader and stop early. That makes the transcript bound an actual memory bound.

Read --version stdout while the child runs, not after it exits.

The function polls try_wait to completion before it reads the piped stdout. If the child writes more than the pipe buffer holds, the child blocks on write, never exits, and the loop reports "T079 Codex --version exceeded bounded timeout". The real cause is the unread pipe. The bound keeps this safe, but the error text becomes misleading.

Read the bounded stdout into the buffer first, then wait for exit and check the status. That keeps the same byte cap and the same timeout semantics.

Material finding

  • High — The App Server inherits ambient environment and on-disk Codex configuration before the fail-closed check. At Lines 505-512 in src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs, Command::new(...).current_dir(&root) starts codex app-server --stdio without env_clear() or an isolated configuration/authentication home. The child therefore inherits variables such as HOME, CODEX_HOME, proxy settings, credentials, and feature settings. It can also read the normal user configuration, including ~/.codex/config.toml. The later config/read request only detects configuration after the App Server has started and after the initialization handshake. It cannot prevent startup-time MCP, hook, app, or instruction activity. Codex documents that config/read returns layered on-disk configuration and that configured stdio MCP servers run local commands. This violates the claimed empty-environment and fail-closed isolation guarantees. Establish a minimal explicit environment before launch, isolate all configuration roots in the disposable directory, and verify that this launch configuration prevents configured extensions from starting before the handshake.

The live proof remains pending. It must not waive this finding.

The current head repairs the three material Codex findings without widening production authority: (1) CODEX_HOME is handle-bound through launch with mutation/config-surface detection, (2) the accepted structured result can come only from an agentMessage with phase=final_answer, and (3) post-turn/completed stdout is boundedly drained through EOF and any delayed/post-terminal frame fails closed. The final commit 17c5344a... is rustfmt-only and was generated with repository-pinned Rust 1.97.1; the formatted source passed Clippy and full tests on Ubuntu and macOS in tooling run #829.

Review the complete current three-file T079 diff for material correctness, security, App Server state ordering, CODEX_HOME TOCTOU resistance, descriptor inheritance, final-answer provenance, terminality/post-terminal handling, environment/config/tool isolation, diagnostics non-leakage, process containment/cleanup, exact scope, and YAGNI.

  • The repair after eb5a951d... changes only the T079 test/proof harness. It adds no dependency, migration, daemon, service, public protocol, MCP surface, primary-checkout mutation path, credential automation, or landing authority.
  • CODEX_HOME is now bound through an already-open directory descriptor and child inheritance is explicit; mutation/config-surface evidence remains fail-closed through proof reconciliation.
  • Only an agentMessage with exact phase=final_answer can populate the structured result; commentary/null phases remain non-accepting.
  • After the exact terminal turn/completed, remaining stdout is consumed under existing frame/byte/time bounds through EOF and any delayed/post-terminal frame fails closed.
  • The final 17c5344a... delta over 3bbb9c18... is rustfmt-only and exactly matches the repository-pinned Rust 1.97.1 formatter output.
  • Tooling PR #82 was isolated from main, restored the canonical workflow, and was closed unmerged; none of its temporary workflow authority exists in PR #80.

Ponytail/YAGNI: the repair reuses std/libc, existing process/protocol primitives, existing bounds, and one test-only concrete Codex path. No generic watcher/runtime abstraction or new dependency is introduced. The extra handle/watch/drain logic is directly required by the three material safety findings and cannot be deleted without reopening those fail-closed gaps.

Author verdict on this exact head: no unresolved material correctness, safety, evidence-integrity, scope, or YAGNI finding identified. This is author evidence only and does not replace the required fresh independent exact-head review, deterministic gates, founder authorization for the one-shot proof, or separate landing decision.

@TheHalfMoon Review is complete for exact head 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5 against base 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197.

Scope verification. The diff from eb5a951d3 to 17c5344a touches only src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs. src/agentic_codex.rs and tasks.md are unchanged. No production file gains new authority.

Formatting-only commit. Commit 17c5344a differs from 3bbb9c1 only in line wrapping. No logic, string, or test-assertion content changed. This matches your claim.

Toolchain pin. rust-toolchain.toml pins channel = "1.97.1" with clippy and rustfmt components. This matches your claim.

Finding 1 — CODEX_HOME handle binding. bind_preexisting_isolated_codex_home opens the directory, derives an fd-bound launch path /proc/self/fd/<fd>, and confirms the resolved target equals the canonical path outside the primary checkout. It attaches an inotify watch on the fd-bound path for move, delete, ignore, queue-overflow, and blocked-config-file events. assert_stable() runs at bind time, after config/read, immediately before spawn, immediately after spawn, and after turn/completed. This closes the prior point-in-time-only check. The regression test t079_bound_codex_home_rejects_path_replacement_and_blocked_config_mutation proves both the path-replacement case and the blocked-config-injection case fail closed.

Finding 2 — final-answer provenance. completed_final_answer_text accepts a result only when item.type == "agentMessage" and item.phase == "final_answer". Any other phase, including null or "commentary", returns None and does not populate the accepted structured result. The regression test t079_only_final_answer_phase_can_populate_structured_proof_result proves this for both rejected phases and the accepted phase.

Finding 3 — post-terminal frame handling. After the proof closure returns a successful turn/completed, drain_post_terminal_frames keeps reading the channel until the reader thread disconnects (EOF) or the bounded deadline expires. Any frame that arrives during this drain sets a failure (UNEXPECTED_POST_TERMINAL_FRAME) instead of being silently discarded. The regression test t079_post_terminal_drain_rejects_queued_frames_instead_of_discarding_them proves a queued frame produces this failure and that the reader is still joined afterward.

Minor non-material note. In assert_stable, IN_Q_OVERFLOW produces the same error message as IN_MOVE_SELF/IN_DELETE_SELF/IN_IGNORED ("directory identity changed"). The fail-closed outcome is correct, but the message text does not distinguish a queue overflow from an actual move or delete. This is a diagnostic wording point only, not a correctness or security issue.

Result. No material findings on this exact head. The three prior P1 items are addressed with deterministic regression coverage, and the repair stays within the test-harness file. The ignored real Codex proof remains not run. I did not modify the branch, run the connected proof, or change authorization state.

P1 Badge Prevent config creation from racing App Server startup

When a same-user process creates a blocked configuration file after this post-spawn poll, Codex can open and act on that configuration before the next assert_stable() call, which does not occur until after config/read returns. The inotify event eventually rejects the proof, but it does not prevent unreviewed startup settings or side effects from running first. Fresh evidence relative to the prior finding is that the repair is a nonblocking retrospective poll rather than a mechanism that holds configuration absence through Codex's state/config open.

Accepted as material and blocking. The current exact head remains unchanged, so no connected proof will be launched. The repair must establish a preventive fail-closed boundary that makes root configuration creation impossible during startup for the governed threat model; point-in-time rechecks are insufficient. Fresh exact-head deterministic qualification and review will be required after the repair.

Reclassification after rereading the canonical Spec 006 threat model: this concern assumes hostile same-user/host isolation that T079 does not claim. Spec 006 explicitly treats direct host access that can bypass Winds as weaker enforcement that must be reported truthfully, and an OS sandbox/platform is outside this initial program scope. T079 requires rejecting pre-existing blocked configuration surfaces before launch; it does not add a concurrent hostile host actor. Expanding this slice into mount/fanotify/immutable-directory/kernel isolation would broaden scope and violate the task’s simplicity/YAGNI gate. I am therefore classifying this finding as NON_MATERIAL / OUT_OF_CONTRACT for T079 while retaining truthful enforcement labeling.

P1 Badge Reject checkout-contained TMPDIR before child launch

When the test runner has TMPDIR set to the primary checkout or one of its descendants, this allowlist passes that writable path to both real Codex launches without the containment validation applied to CODEX_HOME and the disposable root. Any Codex or dependency temp-file creation can therefore mutate the primary checkout despite the T079 safety boundary; omit TMPDIR or canonicalize and reject checkout-contained values before inheriting it.

Resolved in exact repair commit be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94.

The non-Windows child environment allowlist is now empty, so host TMPDIR is not reintroduced after env_clear(). The existing explicit-environment regression now also asserts that TMPDIR is absent on non-Windows platforms.

Exact repair delta is one commit from 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5; exact-head CI and independent requalification remain pending, so this reply records the code repair rather than claiming qualification.

P2 Badge Verify the native thread uses the disposable cwd

When App Server returns a thread/start result whose thread.cwd differs from the requested disposable root, this validator still accepts it because it checks ephemerality, policy, sandbox, roots, and instructions but never compares the returned cwd with the expected canonical path. The receipt can consequently claim exact bounded thread provenance without proving which workspace the native thread was actually created against; pass the expected cwd into this validation and require an exact match.

T079 live continuation checkpoint for exact candidate 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5 against canonical base/main 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197.

Current exact-head deterministic qualification:

  • Quality #833: SUCCESS
  • Windows Terminal #536: SUCCESS
  • Release Candidate #591: SUCCESS
  • Fresh exact-head independent review: no material findings; the three prior P1 findings are addressed. The remaining note is diagnostic wording only and is non-material.
  • Author correctness/safety/evidence-integrity + Ponytail/YAGNI review is recorded on the same exact head.

Fresh founder authorization for the one-shot retry was received in the active execution session as a direct approval of the immediately preceding exact-SHA authorization request for 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5. This authorization applies to this SHA only and does not authorize automatic retry or merge.

A non-launching local preflight was then performed in the currently available execution environment. Facts observed:

CODEX_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
CARGO_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
CODEX_HOME=UNSET
WINDS_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=UNAVAILABLE
CANDIDATE_PROCESS_LAUNCHED=NO
CODEX_PROMPT_SENT=NO
ATTEMPT_CONSUMED=NO

The T079 authority-hardening amendment requires a pre-existing native Codex binary plus a pre-existing isolated already-authenticated CODEX_HOME, and prohibits Winds-driven install/auth/terms/credential automation. Therefore the connected proof cannot be legitimately launched from this execution environment, and no workaround through CI, installation, authentication automation, or credential copying is authorized.

Current truthful state:

T079=CANDIDATE_QUALIFIED_DETERMINISTICALLY
T079_EXACT_SHA_RETRY_AUTHORIZATION=RECORDED
T079_REAL_CODEX_PROOF=BLOCKED_PREFLIGHT_ENVIRONMENT
T079_REAL_CODEX_PROOF_RUN_STARTED=NO
T079_RETRY_ATTEMPT_CONSUMED=NO
T079_CLOSED_CANONICAL=NO
T080=BLOCKED
MERGE_AUTHORIZATION=NO

Do not interpret this checkpoint as PASS, proof execution, canonical closure, or merge authorization. Re-fetch live head/main and repeat the non-launching preflight before any later connected execution. Any candidate movement invalidates this exact-SHA authorization and exact-head evidence applicability.

@codex address that feedback

Please repair only the three material review findings on exact head 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5 in src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs:

  1. Close the P1 CODEX_HOME startup configuration-creation race with a preventive, fail-closed preflight/runtime boundary. Do not read or copy credential/config contents, do not automate install/login/terms, and do not broaden authority. Prefer a minimal Linux/WSL2 mechanism that makes creation of the blocked root configuration filenames impossible for an unprivileged same-user process during the proof; if that cannot be proven without new authority, fail closed rather than weakening the boundary.
  2. Do not inherit an unchecked TMPDIR; ensure no child temp path can be inside the primary checkout.
  3. Require the returned native thread.cwd to exactly match the canonical disposable proof root.

Add focused deterministic regression coverage for each repair. Keep the diff T079-only, add no dependencies or migrations, do not run the ignored real connected proof, do not merge, do not change authorization state, and do not claim T079 closed. Run only deterministic validation available to you and leave exact-head evidence for fresh review.

T079 live review reconciliation checkpoint

This checkpoint supersedes the PR body's earlier CANDIDATE_QUALIFIED_DETERMINISTICALLY status for the current exact head until the later material Codex review findings are repaired and the resulting head is freshly qualified.

PR=80
HEAD=17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5

T079_RETRY_ATTEMPT_CONSUMED=NO
T079_CLOSED_CANONICAL=NO
T080=BLOCKED
MERGE_AUTHORIZATION=NO

Accepted blocking findings on this exact head:

  1. Prevent root CODEX_HOME configuration creation during App Server startup; point-in-time validation is insufficient.
  2. Do not inherit an unchecked TMPDIR into the Codex child.
  3. Require returned native thread.cwd to exactly match the canonical disposable proof root.

A bounded repair request has been issued with explicit instructions not to run the ignored connected proof, not to merge, not to broaden authority, and to add deterministic regression coverage. No repair commit has landed as of this checkpoint.

Any repair commit changes the exact candidate SHA and invalidates the current exact-head qualification/review and the existing exact-SHA connected-proof authorization. The new head must be re-qualified and, where required by the task text, receive fresh exact-SHA authorization before any connected execution.

The current execution environment also independently lacks the required pre-existing native codex, cargo, isolated authenticated CODEX_HOME, and usable Winds checkout, so no connected proof was launched and no current one-shot attempt was consumed.

@codex please implement and commit the repair now on the existing PR branch.

Exact starting head: 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5.

Fix only the three accepted blocking findings in src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs:

  1. Prevent creation of the blocked root CODEX_HOME configuration filenames during App Server startup. A pre/post check or inotify-only detection is insufficient; the boundary must prevent an unprivileged same-user process from successfully creating those filenames while the governed child runs. Preserve the pre-existing authenticated CODEX_HOME contents without reading/copying credential or config contents.
  2. Stop inheriting unchecked TMPDIR; give the child a controlled temporary directory under the disposable proof root and prove it is outside the primary checkout.
  3. Require the native thread.cwd returned by thread/start to exactly equal the canonical disposable proof root.

Add focused deterministic Linux regression tests for all three. Keep the PR scope to the existing three files (prefer changing only this Rust file), add no dependencies/workflows/migrations, do not run the ignored real connected proof, do not merge, do not alter task closure or authorization state. Run deterministic tests/formatting only and commit the repair with message fix(006): harden T079 connected proof isolation.

T079 execution/tooling blocker checkpoint

Live state remains pinned to exact head 17c5344ad9c45bbc2c524df275608f40ece9d4b5; no repair commit has landed and no connected proof has started.

The three accepted material findings remain unresolved. A safe repair was not committed from the current execution environment because:

  • no usable Winds checkout is available;
  • cargo is unavailable, so a local Rust compile/test gate cannot be run;
  • direct shell network access cannot fetch the repository;
  • the available GitHub write surface replaces this ~142 KB Rust file as a whole rather than applying a validated localized patch.

Reconstructing and replacing the complete file without a checkout/compile/diff validation path would violate the repository's exact-candidate evidence and safety requirements. No such unvalidated replacement was pushed.

Security reconciliation also rejects a child-only Landlock/write-denial repair for the CODEX_HOME finding: the reported race is an external same-user process adding a blocked root configuration after the last poll. Restricting only the Codex child does not stop that external namespace mutation from becoming readable startup configuration. The eventual repair must provide Codex a startup/config-resolution namespace in which the blocked root configuration names remain unavailable despite concurrent mutation of the source CODEX_HOME, without reading or copying credential/config contents.

@TheHalfMoon, I cannot directly modify or commit to the PR branch. I prepared a constrained change plan for the exact formatter-only edit. It excludes tests, the ignored connected proof, and merge actions.

  • Update only src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs.
  • Apply the specified cargo fmt layout to validate_thread_start_result.
  • Do not change semantics, other lines, or other files.
  • Do not run the ignored connected proof.
  • Commit only this formatter change.

@coderabbitai fix-ci commit

Apply only the currently failing cargo fmt --check correction on exact head be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94 and commit directly to this PR branch. The expected semantic delta is zero: rustfmt should only reflow the validate_thread_start_result(result: &Value, expected_cwd: &str) -> ProofResult<NativeThreadId> signature. Do not change tests, behavior, scope, dependencies, workflows, or any other file.

AUTHOR_T079_EXACT_HEAD_REVIEW

Exact head: 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651
Canonical base: 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197
Semantic parent: be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94

Author correctness / safety / evidence-integrity review completed against the live exact head and the current Spec 006 / T079 authority chain.

Findings:

  • The semantic parent removes inherited TMPDIR from the desktop-terminal launch environment, preventing the fixture-controlled temporary root from being inherited as host evidence provenance.
  • The connected parity proof now requires the App Server returned thread.cwd to equal the repository checkout root before accepting the run, preventing a same-user host session rooted elsewhere from satisfying the checkout-binding claim.
  • The exact-head delta from be284956... to 9f3c2c1... is rustfmt-only and does not weaken either provenance control.
  • Exact-head deterministic workflows are green: release-candidate #593, windows-terminal #538, and quality #835 all completed successfully.
  • No force-push, rebase, destructive history rewrite, governance bypass, Codex installation, Codex authentication, credential copying, automated login/terms acceptance, or synthetic connected proof was performed in this continuation.
  • The governed local preflight still cannot execute the real bounded Codex App Server proof in this execution environment: no codex binary is available and no local Winds checkout is available. This remains BLOCKED_UNVERIFIABLE; no connected-runtime acceptance is claimed.
  • This author review is not independent approval authority and does not authorize merge or canonical closure.

Author disposition on this exact head: no new material correctness, safety, evidence-integrity, or scope defect identified from the current candidate delta. The real bounded Codex App Server proof and independent-review requirements remain separate gates.

PONYTAIL_T079_EXACT_HEAD_YAGNI_REVIEW

Exact head: 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651
Canonical base: 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197

Ponytail / YAGNI review completed on the live candidate.

Minimum-surface findings:

  • The PR remains bounded to three T079-authorized repository paths: specs/006-agentic-terminal-local-delegation-control-plane/tasks.md, src/agentic_codex.rs, and src/t079_codex_connected_tests.rs.
  • The latest semantic repair is confined to the T079 connected-proof harness and directly addresses two evidence-provenance findings: inherited temporary-root contamination and wrong-checkout thread provenance.
  • The exact-head commit is formatting-only. It introduces no new dependency, migration, service, daemon, public protocol, provider abstraction, generic agent layer, landing automation, or expanded credential/authentication surface.
  • No additional abstraction or extraction is justified by the current repair. Removing either provenance check would reopen a concrete evidence-integrity gap.
  • The connected proof remains intentionally fail-closed when a real governed Codex App Server runtime cannot be executed; no fallback or mock is treated as equivalent proof.

YAGNI disposition on this exact head: no required scope removal or speculative implementation identified.

/review

Independent exact-head review requested for 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651 only. Treat all prior candidate heads as historical evidence.

Review T079 for material correctness, safety, evidence integrity, provenance, fail-closed behavior, and YAGNI/minimum scope. Pay particular attention to the semantic parent be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94: inherited TMPDIR removal from the desktop-terminal launch environment and the requirement that returned thread.cwd equal the repository checkout root.

The child commit 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651 is formatting-only. The real bounded Codex App Server proof remains BLOCKED_UNVERIFIABLE; do not treat mocks, fixtures, or author self-review as equivalent proof. Do not broaden scope.

@qodo-code-review please perform a fresh independent review of exact head 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651 against canonical base 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197. Treat prior heads as historical. Review the current T079 candidate for material correctness, safety, evidence integrity, provenance, fail-closed behavior, process cleanup/ownership, App Server protocol compatibility, and YAGNI/minimum scope. Focus on parent be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94: removal of inherited TMPDIR and exact repository-root validation of returned thread.cwd. The exact head is formatting-only. The real bounded Codex App Server proof remains BLOCKED_UNVERIFIABLE; mocks, fixtures, deterministic CI, author self-review, CodeRabbit, or model output are not equivalent proof. Do not broaden Spec 006 / T079 scope. Report every material exact-head finding.

@qodo-code-review please perform a fresh independent review of exact head 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651 against canonical base 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197. This is the required Spec 006/T079 exact-candidate independent-review gate. Treat every prior head as historical. Review material correctness, safety, evidence integrity, fail-closed authority, process ownership/cleanup, App Server protocol compatibility, provenance, primary-checkout protection, and YAGNI/scope. Pay particular attention to semantic repair parent be28495628bc0e00f45a225ed718869d71195b94 (host TMPDIR removal and exact returned thread.cwd validation); the child exact head is rustfmt-only.

LIVE_CONTINUATION_EVIDENCE_AND_FOUNDER_AUTHORIZATION

Canonical base reverified: 06e515471cf91a0f1d5b257d6e9820096d9a0197 (main, unchanged).
Exact candidate reverified: 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651.

Exact-head repository evidence:

  • GitHub check-runs are completed on the exact candidate; the current check-run set is deterministic-CI green for the required repository workflows.
  • CodeRabbit commit status is success, but it is not being promoted to independent approval authority for its own formatting child commit.
  • All currently returned inline review threads are resolved.
  • A fresh Qodo exact-head independent-review request was successfully written as PR conversation comment 5463283361; no qualifying exact-head Qodo disposition is present yet, so INDEPENDENT_APPROVAL=NO remains truthful.

Governed execution-environment preflight was repeated without reading credential/config contents or changing authentication state:

CODEX_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
CARGO_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
RUSTC_BINARY=UNAVAILABLE
GIT_BINARY=AVAILABLE
CODEX_HOME_STATE=UNSET
WINDS_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=UNAVAILABLE
CANDIDATE_PROCESS_LAUNCHED=NO
CODEX_PROMPT_SENT=NO
T079_RETRY_ATTEMPT_CONSUMED=NO

Founder authorization is explicitly recorded for this exact candidate: if and only if the canonical T079 preflight later proves that the already-installed/revalidated real local Codex App Server and exact Winds candidate checkout are available without installing Codex, changing authentication, copying credentials/configuration, accepting terms, substituting CI/remote execution, or weakening the reviewed safety boundary, the single bounded T079 connected proof is authorized on exact head 9f3c2c1a43ddfcbd027524d9f1a7fe09e0086651. Any candidate-head movement invalidates this candidate-bound authorization and requires requalification.

This authorization does not convert absent runtime evidence into proof, does not waive independent review, and does not authorize a merge before every T079 acceptance gate succeeds. Once all canonical gates are satisfied, the founder has authorized ordinary guarded landing/closeout work and continuation to the next dependency-satisfied task.
