Re-reviewed exact head d6fcdd5e7129838097322c26ec3348b590ab219d.
The official-registry pinning fixes the prior mutable-registry blocker: metadata, pack, and install now use the pinned npm registry with project/user npm configuration isolated. The new cross-process lease is necessary, but its current stale/release protocol does not provide mutual exclusion under contention:
- Two contenders can read the same stale record. Contender A unlinks it and creates its live lease; contender B then executes the unconditional stale
unlinkSync(path), deletes A's new lease, and acquires its own. Both installs can run. - An opener creates the lock file before writing the JSON record. A contender observing that short empty/truncated window treats it as corrupt, unlinks it, and acquires a second lease while the first owner is still writing.
- Release compares only
ownerPid. It has no unique token or file/directory identity, so a late release can unlink a successor associated with the same PID edge case. - A live owner is reaped solely because the record is older than 15 minutes. If an install/readback ever exceeds that estimate, mutual exclusion is deliberately broken rather than failed closed.
Use a self-identifying atomic-directory/token protocol (the repository's current service/shim locks are the relevant pattern), require same-token/path identity immediately before stale deletion and release, and never reap a live holder merely from age without an ownership-safe heartbeat/identity rule. Add deterministic two-contender tests for stale takeover, create-before-record publication, late release, and live-owner age boundaries.
The branch is also 14 commits behind current dev; rebase and rerun the explicit installation/security-boundary CI after fixing the lease.
Phase 1 answers who owns a Codex CLI installation and stops there: no registry query, no process enumeration, no writes. This adds the three inputs it left out and the two verbs that expose them. 'plan' resolves the channel to one exact version with its sha512 integrity, reads the process table, and returns a decision. Its plan id is a SHA-256 over exactly the evidence the decision rests on -- provenance, installed version, redacted location, channel, target, integrity and shim eligibility -- so there is no plan state on disk to expire, collide or clean up. Session blockers are deliberately outside the digest: a session that starts or ends between dry-run and apply must not expire a plan the operator read correctly, and it is re-read at apply time where it can only refuse. 'apply --plan <id>' recomputes the plan and refuses unless the id still matches, then runs exactly one command, npm install -g @openai/codex at the pinned version. The outcome is classified from a fresh inspection, never from the installer exit code, and is never retried or rolled back automatically. Nothing is stopped, restarted or signalled. Three fail-closed choices differ from the surrounding code on purpose: - listCodexAppServerProcesses maps enumeration failure to an empty list because its kill contract must never signal a process it could not verify. The update contract is the opposite, so scanCodexAppServerProcesses reports 'unavailable' and the plan defers. - OpenCodex's self-update treats a failed integrity query as skipped and proceeds best-effort. That trade is defensible for a package we publish; for a foreign package installed on the operator's behalf it refuses instead. - An advisory runtime version is what a binary said about itself. Only package-manifest evidence can be compared with a registry version or read back after an install, so anything else refuses. Windows stays inert: phase 1 performs no candidate filesystem I/O there and answers windows_inspection_deferred, so the plan is inapplicable for the same reason rather than pretending to ownership evidence it does not have. The shim is repaired only when the pre-update inspection reported a matched shim. codex-shim-autorestore already excluded this namespace from ambient repair with the note that a later apply must own its preflight; it now does. The launcher needed no change -- isCodexCliUpdateInspectionArgv already covers the namespace by argv position -- but the phase-1 scope guards asserting that this surface never advertises a dry-run are updated deliberately, while the 'check' capability keeps its stricter read-only assertions unchanged.
…egrity before apply
CodeRabbit merge-risk: the displayed command (npm install -g pkg@version) could lead an operator to run a different, unverified install than the update workflow, which packs the tarball, verifies the bound sha512, and installs the verified file. Label the plan output as indicative and correct the field contract.
…n missing integrity - compare resolved target against the installed version by semver precedence; equal stays already_current and lower is refused as target_not_newer instead of being applied as a silent downgrade - defaultRunInstaller returns integrityMismatch when no expected digest is supplied, so an injected caller cannot trigger an unverified install - share the semver precedence comparator through strict-semver and reuse it in version-skew - describe the apply capability as pack, sha512 verify, then install the verified file
A matched shim is always reported standalone-unverified and unmanaged, so a plan built from real evidence can never reach the shim-repair path. Remove the dead lane and its capability claims (shimEligible, applied_shim_repair_required, restoreShim) until ownership can be classified through a shim backing.
…rocess lease npm view/pack/install now run with --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org, an empty controlled userconfig/globalconfig, a sentinel-anchored cwd, and npm_config_* env stripped, so a hostile project or user npm configuration cannot redirect the metadata, the integrity token, or the tarball. The resolved dist.tarball origin is validated against the pinned registry before the target can resolve. apply acquires one cross-process update lease before the final process scan and holds it through install and readback, so a second apply is refused and Codex startup paths (remote workspace app-server spawn, desktop-app relaunch) observe the lease and wait or refuse instead of loading a half-replaced install.

All four readiness items are now met: CI is green at head dd5fc5b, the branch is within 10 commits of dev, and every CodeRabbit finding has been resolved or answered (the latest readback-location fix in 228430b was confirmed by CodeRabbit). The readiness checklist is ticked. Ready for review — the draft flag still needs a maintainer since ready-for-review is permission-gated for the fork author. cc @lidge-jun |
…tbeat The update lease had four mutual-exclusion holes: a stale-record unlink could delete a successor's fresh lease, the O_EXCL create-before-write window let a contender steal the publish, release compared only ownerPid, and a live holder could be reaped on age alone. Records now carry a random token verified inside a link-based compare-and-delete, publication goes through a hardlinked staging file (with a publish-grace fallback), release requires the holder's token, and a heartbeat keeps a live holder past the age bound.

Summary
Phase 2 of #2811, on top of the landed attestation slice (#4978). The
codex-cli-updatecommand grows the two mutating-path verbs the issue describes, whilecheckandatteststay read-only:ocx system codex-cli-update plan [--channel latest] [--json]dry-runs an update: it resolves the exact registry version with its sha512 integrity, reads the process table fail-closed, and prints a plan id that digests the evidence the decision rests on. It writes nothing and installs nothing; a refusal is a normal dry-run answer and still exits 0.ocx system codex-cli-update apply --plan <id> [--json]installs exactly the version bound into the quoted plan id. The plan is recomputed from live evidence and refused unless the id still matches. It packs the resolved version, verifies the tarball sha512 against the plan-bound integrity, and installs only that verified file; never stops or restarts Codex, the app-server, the desktop app or the tray, classifies the outcome from a fresh inspection rather than the installer exit code, and repairs the shim only when this installation owned a matched shim before the update.The parser is the authorization boundary: apply is unreachable without a well-formed plan id the operator read in a dry-run, and there is no plan state on disk to expire, collide or clean up. An unreadable process table refuses rather than reading as no live session.
