Summary

What Changed

#665's detached reap could kill a live codex app session

codex app relies on the detach grace rather than an explicit detachOnExit, so its launcher exits inside the 5s window and the helper's owner is dead from the first tick. From then on the only thing between the desktop app and a dead proxy was countOpenConnections() === 0.

The proxy never sets server.keepAliveTimeout, so Node closes idle client sockets after its 5s default. A user who stops typing for the length of the detached window has zero sockets and no new requests — the helper exits owner-gone, and the next message gets ECONNREFUSED against a dead localhost port with nothing left to restart it. Pre-#665 that session survived the full 12h idle timeout.

The detached window now only reaps a helper that has never served a request. Every leaked helper in #663 had totalRequests: 0, so the leak is entirely a never-served phenomenon and the narrower gate closes it in full; a helper that served anything was genuinely handed off and falls back to the idle timeout and #664's 24h ceiling.

This changes #665's stated contract ("traffic carries a stranded helper; once traffic stops, reap it") and rewrites the test encoding it. The trade: a served-then-abandoned helper lives up to 12h instead of a working desktop session being killed after 15 idle minutes.

Two more in the same tick:

  • unknown owner ≠ dead owner. createRuntimeRotationAppHelperOwnerLivenessCheck returned false when no owner PID was recorded, and the tick read that as "confirmed dead" — so a helper invoked directly (the documented reproduction in [bug] runtime rotation app helpers leak past their idle timeout; all helpers trample one shared status file #663) or spawned by a pre-upgrade launcher started the detached clock on its first tick and reaped itself 15 minutes later. The verdict is now three-valued; unknown fires neither branch, which is what the pre-fix(codex): stop runtime helpers from leaking past their idle timeout (#663) #664 ownerPid && isAlive(ownerPid) guard did.
  • idleExpiresAt went stale after the owner died. publishToken zeroes it, so the published deadline only caught up on a heartbeat pinned to the idle window — rotation status advertised a 12h deadline for a helper seconds from exiting, and under a short DETACHED_IDLE_MS override never caught up. The heartbeat now folds in the detached window.

#666 — owner files orphaned by unbind

Two branches removed a status file without checking helperOwnershipMatches but gated removeHelperOwner on it. On a token mismatch, unbind deleted the status file and kept runtime-rotation-app-helper-owner.<pid>.json — and because unbind enumerated status paths only, nothing ever rediscovered it.

The issue asks for a deliberate choice between the conservative and decisive policies. Decisive: a proven-dead PID means both files describe a process that no longer exists, so both go. That is what the launcher-side sweep already does, so the two paths now agree. The ownership gate still stands where it matters — a live PID whose ownership cannot be verified is preserved with a warning, untouched.

Unbind now also enumerates owner files, so a pre-existing orphan is reclaimed instead of being unreachable. A live PID's owner file is left alone.

§2 of the issue is wrong and needs no code change. "Helper unlinks are not retried on Windows" — unlinkIfExists (lib/runtime/app-bind.ts:300) already wraps unlink in withFileOperationRetry, so the helperCleanupPaths loop does get retries. Worth closing that half without a diff.

#667 — one selector, and it now checks identity

Both hand-rolled copies are gone; rotation.ts and runtime-current-account.ts use selectRuntimeHelperStatus from the new lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts. printRotationStatus made the drift concrete by selecting twice either side of an awaited printCodexAppBindStatus — the liveness probes re-ran at a later instant, so a helper that exited during that await was named on the status line while a different one fed the current marker two lines down. It now selects once and threads one now through the line, the count and the marker.

For identity: status files now parse startedAt, and liveness additionally requires the record to be fresh. A running helper republishes at least once per heartbeat (capped at 60s), so ten heartbeats of silence means the current holder of that PID did not write this file — exactly the stale-legacy-file-with-a-recycled-PID case.

Freshness rather than a kernel start-time probe because both call sites are synchronous read-only status paths reached from the interactive menu as well as the CLI (readAppRuntimeHelperAccountSignal is threaded through codex-manager.ts as a sync function), and a ps per candidate is not something a status reader should pay. The wrapper, which can afford it, still probes start times.

Also fixed here: both readers accepted any finite number as a PID, so a record carrying -1234 reached process.kill(-1234, 0) — a POSIX process-group probe that succeeds on any busy machine and reports a nonexistent helper as live. app-bind.ts already required a positive integer; these two now agree with it.

#668 — test hygiene, and a fault injector that shipped

  1. PID sentinels → processes the tests own (withDeadPid / withLivePid in test/helpers/owned-pids.ts).
  2. process.ppid → an owned sleeper, killed in finally.
  3. The unexercised recency sort → two live candidates, so the comparator is a claim the suite checks.
  4. The shipped fault injector → gated. All seven counters in the published wrapper now require an explicit CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_TEST_FAULT_INJECTION=1 and a strict digits-only parse (Number.parseInt reads "2abc" as 2 and "1e3" as 1). Regression tests assert a production invocation ignores both a bare counter and a non-numeric one.
  5. The re-encoded owner-path literalresolveRuntimeHelperOwnerPath.

Two more from the review

  • The metadata sweep ran before spawn(). It is synchronous and unbounded — readdir, a readFileSync per live candidate, rmSync with a blocking backoff, bounded ps probes — and the state it cleans up is exactly the state that makes it slow, so it sat in front of codex app and TUI startup. It now runs after the spawn, so the helper boots in parallel with it; the launch timeout is armed after it either way.
  • Sweep deletions are guarded by an mtime re-check. Classifying a file as stale and deleting it are two moments; a PID freed in between can be handed to a helper starting right now, which republishes that exact path before the delete lands.
  • Unbind stops run in a bounded pool. Each pays a SIGTERM, a graceful wait and possibly a SIGKILL; on the machine from [bug] runtime rotation app helpers leak past their idle timeout; all helpers trample one shared status file #663 there were 183 of them, in series.

Validation

  • npm run lint
  • npm run typecheck
  • npm test — 338 files, 5419 passed, 15 skipped, 0 failures (Windows)
  • npm test -- test/documentation.test.ts
  • npm run build

Linux coverage, because the helper-lifecycle tests are skipIf(win32) and never run on the Windows box. In a node:22 container as a non-root user with a fresh npm ci, every one of them executes and passes — including keeps a helper that has served traffic alive after its traffic stops, still reaps a stranded helper that never served a request, and does not start the detached clock for a helper launched without an owner PID.

The same container run against unmodified #665 produces the identical 3 failures (prefers Windows codex.exe over extensionless codex, skips self-referential codex wrapper entries on PATH) — pre-existing Windows-path tests that do not run correctly on Linux, untouched by this branch. Passing count goes 252 → 262.

Every new regression test was mutation-checked: reverting the corresponding fix makes it fail. The one exception is the permanently-locked-metadata test, where removing the catch hangs the launcher rather than producing a clean failure — load-bearing, but not a clean mutation result.

Review round 1 (CodeRabbit, 16 comments): 15 applied, 1 declined — see the response comment below for the reasoning on each, including the two findings that caught documentation this PR had itself made wrong, and the one gap I left open deliberately.

Docs and Governance Checklist

  • README updated — the storage-paths table still showed the pre-per-PID runtime-rotation-app-helper.json; docs/reference/storage-paths.md had been updated by the stack but README had not
  • docs/getting-started.md — onboarding flow unchanged
  • docs/features.md — capability surface unchanged
  • relevant docs/reference/* pages updated — docs/reference/settings.md, plus docs/configuration.md, docs/development/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/development/CONFIG_FIELDS.md for the detached window's new conditions
  • docs/upgrade.md — no migration behavior change
  • SECURITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md reviewed for alignment

Risk and Rollback

  • Risk level: moderate. The behavior change is a narrowing of when a helper is reaped, so the failure direction is a helper living longer than intended rather than a session being killed — and fix(codex): stop runtime helpers from leaking past their idle timeout (#663) #664's 24h lifetime ceiling bounds that. The selector change can make a helper stop being reported as current in rotation status if its status file is more than 10 minutes stale, which for a live helper means its heartbeat stopped.
  • Rollback: the four commits are independent and revert cleanly in any order. Reverting only fix(codex): reap only helpers that were never handed to a consumer restores fix(codex): reap app helpers stranded by the detach grace #665's behavior exactly, including its test.

Additional Notes

The review that produced this ran against the combined main...#665 diff, since that is the state the three issues were filed against. #661 (OpenAuth removal) and #640 (Rust rewrite) are unrelated and were not touched.

Greptile Summary

this pr tightens runtime helper lifecycle, ownership, selection, and cleanup behavior while preserving live desktop sessions.

  • narrows detached reaping to helpers that never served a request and distinguishes unknown owners from dead owners.
  • centralizes helper selection with pid validation and status freshness checks.
  • enumerates per-pid status and owner files during unbind, with bounded concurrent shutdown.
  • moves stale-metadata sweeping after spawn and adds guarded deletion plus windows filesystem retries.
  • gates test fault injection and replaces borrowed pid sentinels with test-owned processes.

Confidence Score: 5/5

the pr appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
scripts/codex.js updates helper ownership verdicts, detached-reap gating, deadline publication, post-spawn metadata sweeping, and production-safe fault injection.
lib/runtime/app-bind.ts expands unbind to per-pid and orphan-owner metadata while bounding concurrent helper shutdown and retaining windows filesystem retries.
lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts centralizes positive-pid validation, process liveness, heartbeat freshness, and deterministic helper selection.
lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts consumes the shared selector so current-account resolution uses the same helper identity and freshness rules as status output.
lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts performs one helper scan and selection for consistent status, live count, and current-account markers.
lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts exposes current client-socket count for detached-helper lifecycle decisions without changing token handling.
test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts adds vitest coverage for owner states, detached sessions, request and connection gates, metadata sweeping, and fault-injection isolation.
test/app-bind.test.ts covers per-pid unbind cleanup, orphan-owner handling, owned process shutdown, and the concurrency bound.

The idle reaper's owner check was a bare kill(pid, 0), which answers
"does a process hold this integer", never "is this still my launcher".
A recycled PID at one tick pushes the deadline forward 12 hours, and the
deadline only ever moves forward, so one false positive is never
corrected — helpers were observed 33 hours past their timeout, 183
concurrent, 5.6 GB RSS. Owner liveness is now PID plus the launcher's
kernel start time (read under LC_ALL=C so locale cannot disable the
check), re-verified at most once a minute; a failed re-read keeps the
previous verdict instead of declaring a live owner dead, and where no
start time is known the check degrades to bare liveness. An absolute
lifetime ceiling (24h default, CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_APP_ROTATION_MAX_LIFETIME_MS)
bounds the leak if activity accounting is ever wrong again.

Status telemetry is per helper PID instead of N writers last-writer-
winning one file at 1 Hz, published on change plus heartbeat; readers
prefer the newest live helper and still read the legacy path, and
app-bind unbind walks every per-PID candidate through the same
ownership-verified stop it applied to the shared file. Helpers remove
their owner file on exit; launchers sweep metadata whose helper PID is
dead — or provably recycled, by comparing the PID's kernel start time
against the file's own timestamps — before spawning.

Shared per-PID status discovery moves next to its filename constant
(listRuntimeHelperStatusPaths) and all three readers use it; rotation
status derives selection and live count from one scan; only "running"
counts as running so max-lifetime/error stamps read as terminal. The
helper's identity probe is async and single-flight so a wedged ps stalls
a background probe, never the proxy event loop. Metadata deletions retry
transient Windows locks; the launch-path sweep memoizes identity probes
per PID and caps them per sweep. app-bind unbind logs when it cannot
enumerate per-PID files and retries the readdir. Tests: multi-helper and
ownership-preservation unbind cases, publish-rate regression, sweep
retry regression, max-lifetime status case, POSIX gate plus a Windows
companion for the identity-unavailable degradation.

The detach grace hands a helper off optimistically: any launcher that
exits cleanly within the window leaves its helper running. Nothing then
checks whether a consumer actually took the handoff, so every short
forwarded command strands a helper that holds the full idle timeout —
12h by default — with a dead owner, no traffic, and nothing connected.
Owner death only stopped refreshing the idle clock; it never shortened
it. Observed locally at ~3 stranded helpers per 15 minutes, ~1.1GB
resident across 23 of them.

Once the owner is confirmed dead the deadline becomes
CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_APP_ROTATION_DETACHED_IDLE_MS (default 15m, 0 restores
the previous behavior), and it fires only while the proxy reports zero
open client connections — so a consumer that really did take the
handoff, such as `codex app` giving the desktop app its proxy, is never
reaped out from under. The proxy already tracked its socket set for
shutdown; it now reports the count. A revived owner verdict clears the
detached clock rather than ratcheting it, and the published
idleExpiresAt reports whichever deadline is actually enforced.

A proxy shape whose getOpenConnectionCount() returns a non-finite value
compared unequal to 0 and blocked the detached reap forever — failing in
the one direction this fix cannot afford, and silently restoring the leak
for that shape. Unknown now degrades exactly like a missing method does.

Also proves the other half of the contract with a test: a detached
consumer that reconnects per request, holding no socket between them,
keeps its helper alive on the traffic alone and loses it once the traffic
stops. The fixture proxy grows a ramped request counter, because a static
counter cannot express "traffic is still arriving".

…n Windows

CodeRabbit round 1. The comment on `countOpenConnections` described the
fallback backwards: a proxy that cannot report connections reads as zero,
and zero is the value that *satisfies* the owner-gone condition, so the
missing-method case fails open into reaping rather than being "carried by
activity alone". The behavior was the intended one; only the comment was
wrong, and it documented a fail-open decision as fail-closed. Now it says
which direction it fails in and why that direction is the safe one.

The detached-window tests simulated owner death with an unmatchable start
time, which only POSIX can evaluate, so the reap had no Windows coverage.
A genuinely dead owner PID is readable through the degraded bare-liveness
check on every platform: the new test owns a child, kills it, waits for
the kernel to agree, and hands that PID to a helper. It runs on win32.

`spawnDirectAppHelper` leaked a helper per readiness failure: the
rejection throws before the caller reaches its try/finally, so nothing
called `stopDirectAppHelper`. A leak-fix harness that leaks helpers is
its own bug report. It now kills the child on the way out.

Docs: both new lifetime overrides added to the settings reference, the
per-helper owner file added to the AGENTS.md and privacy.md inventories,
`CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_APP_ROTATION_OWNER_START_TIME_MS` added to the internal
env list, and the ~500-word self-reaping paragraph split into a rule
table.

CodeRabbit round 2, and correct: Number.isFinite admits negatives, so a
proxy answering -1 compared unequal to 0 and pinned a stranded helper
alive forever — the same failure the previous commit claimed to close,
one value short. Only a positive safe integer now counts as attached;
negative, fractional, NaN, and Infinity all read as "nothing attached"
and let the detached window run.

Regression cases for -1, NaN, and Infinity, which needed the fixture
proxy to be able to express a garbage reading at all.

Helper-lifecycle fixtures stood in for "dead" with integers above the
platform PID ceiling (99999999, 2_147_483_646) and for "a second live
process" with process.ppid. Neither is a fact the test controls.

process.kill may raise EINVAL rather than ESRCH for an out-of-range PID;
those fixtures classify as dead only because every liveness check in this
tree treats every errno but EPERM as dead — true today, but a property
they never state. process.ppid inside a vitest worker is the pool
process, whose identity differs between the threads and forks pools and
which can exit mid-run, flipping "(+1 more running)" to "(+0 more
running)" with no code change.

Spawning a child and killing it makes "dead" a fact; holding one open for
the length of a test makes "live" a fact.

The detached reap added in #665 could kill a live `codex app` session.

`codex app` relies on the detach grace rather than an explicit
`detachOnExit`, so its launcher exits inside the grace window and the
helper's owner is dead from the first tick. From then on the only thing
standing between the desktop app and a dead proxy was
`countOpenConnections() === 0` — and the proxy never sets
`server.keepAliveTimeout`, so Node closes idle client sockets after its
5s default. A user who stops typing for the length of the detached
window has zero sockets and no new requests, so the helper exits
`owner-gone`, and the next message gets ECONNREFUSED against a dead
localhost port with nothing left to restart it. Pre-#665 that session
survived for the full 12h idle timeout.

Gate the reap on the helper having *never* served a request. Every
leaked helper in the #663 report had `totalRequests: 0`, so the leak is
entirely a never-served phenomenon and the narrower gate closes it in
full; a helper that served anything was genuinely handed off and falls
back to the idle timeout and the 24h lifetime ceiling, which is where it
sat before the detached window existed.

Two more lifecycle fixes in the same tick:

- The owner verdict is now three-valued. "No owner PID was recorded" and
  "the owner is confirmed dead" are different facts, and collapsing them
  into one `false` started the detached clock on the first tick for any
  helper launched without an owner PID — invoked directly, which is the
  documented reproduction in #663, or spawned by a pre-upgrade launcher —
  and reaped it silently 15 minutes later. `unknown` fires neither
  branch, which is what the pre-#664 `ownerPid && isAlive(ownerPid)`
  guard did.

- The status heartbeat now accounts for the detached window.
  `publishToken` zeroes `idleExpiresAt`, so the published deadline only
  catches up on a heartbeat; pinned to the idle window alone, `rotation
  status` kept advertising a 12h deadline for a helper seconds from
  exiting, and under a short DETACHED_IDLE_MS override it never caught up
  at all.

Also in this commit, both from the same review pass:

- The metadata sweep runs after the helper spawn instead of before it.
  It is synchronous and unbounded — readdir, a readFileSync per live
  candidate, rmSync with a blocking backoff, bounded `ps` probes — and
  the state it cleans up is exactly the state that makes it slow, so it
  sat in front of `codex app` and TUI startup. Nothing about spawning
  depends on it. The launch timeout is armed after it either way.

- Sweep deletions are guarded by an mtime re-check. Classifying a file as
  stale and deleting it are two moments, and a PID freed between them can
  be handed to a helper starting right now, which republishes that exact
  path before the delete lands.

- The published wrapper's fault injectors need an explicit
  CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_TEST_FAULT_INJECTION=1 opt-in and a strict digits-only
  parse. `Number.parseInt` reads "2abc" as 2 and "1e3" as 1, so a value
  that was never meant to be a count could arm an injector in a user's
  install and silently defeat the first N metadata deletions of every
  sweep (#668).

Two branches removed a helper status file without checking
`helperOwnershipMatches` but gated `removeHelperOwner` on it. When the
status token and the owner token disagreed, unbind deleted the status
file and kept `runtime-rotation-app-helper-owner.<pid>.json` — and
because unbind then enumerated status paths only, nothing ever
rediscovered that owner file. The launcher-side sweep is the only other
thing that reclaims them, and it runs only when a new helper is
launched, so a user who hit the leak and stopped using `codex app` kept
those files forever.

#666 asks for a deliberate choice between the conservative and decisive
policies. This takes the decisive one: when the record's PID is proven
dead, both files describe a process that no longer exists, so keeping the
owner file preserves nothing. That is also what the launcher-side sweep
already does with a dead PID, so the two paths now agree. The ownership
gate still stands where it matters — a *live* PID whose ownership cannot
be verified is preserved with a warning, untouched.

Unbind now also enumerates owner files, so an owner file whose status
record is already gone is reclaimed rather than being unreachable. A live
PID's owner file is left alone.

Helper stops run in a bounded pool instead of one after another. Each
pays a SIGTERM, a graceful wait and possibly a SIGKILL, and on the
machine from #663 there were 183 of them, so unbind blocked for minutes.

Not changed, because the issue is wrong on this point: §2 reports that
helper unlinks are not retried on Windows. `unlinkIfExists`
(lib/runtime/app-bind.ts) already wraps `unlink` in
`withFileOperationRetry`, so the `helperCleanupPaths` loop does get
retries.

…ers (#667)

"Which helper is current" was implemented twice, in
lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts and
lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts, each hand-rolling its own
`byRecency` sort and its own `state === "running" && isProcessAlive(pid)`
filter. A single `rotation status` run executes both, so any drift
between them produces a status line and an account marker naming
different helpers. `printRotationStatus` made that concrete by calling
`selectAppRuntimeHelperStatus` twice, either side of an awaited
`printCodexAppBindStatus`: the liveness probes re-ran at a later instant,
so a helper that exited during that await was named on the line while a
different one fed the `current` marker two lines down.

Both now use `selectRuntimeHelperStatus` from the new
lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts, and `rotation status` selects once
and threads one `now` through the line, the live count and the marker.

Neither copy checked process identity, which was the substantive half of
#667: `kill(pid, 0)` answers "does *a* process hold this integer", so a
stale legacy `runtime-rotation-app-helper.json` left by a SIGKILLed
pre-upgrade helper passes liveness the moment its PID is recycled, and
marks an account `current` that no helper is using. The status files now
parse `startedAt`, and liveness additionally requires the record to be
fresh: a running helper republishes at least once per heartbeat (capped
at 60s), so ten heartbeats of silence means the current holder of that
PID did not write this file.

Freshness rather than a kernel start-time probe because both call sites
are synchronous read-only status paths reached from the interactive menu
as well as the CLI — `readAppRuntimeHelperAccountSignal` is passed
through `codex-manager.ts` as a sync function — and an identity probe
costs a `ps` per candidate. The wrapper, which can afford it, still
probes start times.

PIDs are also validated as positive integers. Both readers accepted any
finite number, so a corrupt or hand-edited record carrying `-1234`
reached `process.kill(-1234, 0)`, a POSIX process-group probe that
succeeds on any busy machine and reports a helper that does not exist as
live. app-bind's own reader already required `Number.isInteger(pid) &&
pid > 0`; these two now agree with it.

Test hygiene from #668 alongside it: the dead-PID and second-live-PID
fixtures use processes the tests own rather than PID sentinels and
`process.ppid`, `readAppRuntimeHelperStatus`'s recency sort is now
exercised with two live candidates instead of one, and the hand-built
owner-path literal uses `resolveRuntimeHelperOwnerPath`.

`isRuntimeHelperProcessAlive` validated the PID and then asserted the
result back with `as number`. Binding the validated value keeps the
narrowing the validator already produced, so the one place that calls
`process.kill` has no cast in it.

📝 Walkthrough

minor severity. this pr fixes orphaned runtime-helper metadata and detached-helper reaping. no security or data-loss impact is identified. broad regression coverage exists, but the negative mtime-replacement race remains untested.

review the lifecycle decisions in scripts/codex.js:4001: owner status distinguishes confirmed death from unknown identity, and pid reuse cannot extend the detached deadline. review helper selection in lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts:1 and bounded cleanup in lib/runtime/app-bind.ts:1276.

  • uses per-process status and owner files with legacy status compatibility in lib/runtime-constants.ts:1 and lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts:1.
  • removes metadata for proven-dead pids and reclaims orphaned owner files in lib/runtime/app-bind.ts:1619.
  • preserves live helpers when ownership is unverifiable and logs a warning in lib/runtime/app-bind.ts:1633.
  • limits unbind cleanup to eight concurrent workers in lib/runtime/app-bind.ts:1276. review stop ordering and filesystem races.
  • sweeps stale metadata after helper spawn and protects deletion with mtime checks in scripts/codex.js:4193 and scripts/codex.js:4777.
  • adds bounded idle and lifetime controls, retryable cleanup, and strict fault-injection gates in scripts/codex.js:3907.
  • avoids ps identity probes on windows. windows therefore uses the documented unknown-identity behavior in scripts/codex.js:4007; preserve this degradation policy.
  • adds regression coverage for dead and live pids, orphan cleanup, detached reaping, pid reuse, selection, concurrency, metadata stress, spawn failures, and windows behavior in test/app-bind.test.ts:1147, test/app-helper-selection.test.ts:59, and test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts:3314.
  • the mtime replacement race between classification and deletion has no regression test in scripts/codex.js:4260. this remains the main test coverage gap.

Walkthrough

runtime helpers now use PID-specific status and owner files, retain legacy status reads, verify process identity, enforce detached-idle and maximum-lifetime limits, and clean metadata. status consumers share helper selection. unbind cleanup uses bounded concurrency.

Changes

runtime helper lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
metadata paths and status selection
lib/runtime-constants.ts, lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts, lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts, lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts
the code discovers PID-specific and legacy status files, validates PID identity and freshness, selects live helpers, and reuses one timestamp for status and account signals.
helper lifecycle and proxy state
scripts/codex.js, lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts, lib/runtime/rotation-server-types.ts
helpers verify owner identity, track requests and connections, enforce detached-idle and maximum-lifetime deadlines, publish terminal status, and remove owner metadata.
bounded unbind cleanup
lib/runtime/app-bind.ts
unbind discovers status and owner files, removes dead-helper metadata, preserves live unmatched owners, and processes cleanup with up to eight workers.
validation and documentation
test/*, README.md, AGENTS.md, docs/*
tests cover PID reuse, lifecycle deadlines, cleanup, Windows behavior, concurrency, stress cases, and owned-PID fixtures. documentation describes paths, cleanup, and environment overrides.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/development/ARCHITECTURE.md`:
- Line 211: Update the Telemetry row in ARCHITECTURE.md to state that each
launcher spawns the next helper first, then sweeps metadata files whose helper
PID is dead. Preserve the existing descriptions of terminal status retention and
cleanup behavior.

In `@docs/reference/storage-paths.md`:
- Line 162: Update the runtime helper-state documentation near the owner-file
description to document that unbind independently enumerates owner files and
removes orphaned files whose PIDs are proven dead, in addition to the existing
launch-time sweep; mention codex-multi-auth rotation unbind-app as the operator
recovery path.

In `@lib/runtime/app-bind.ts`:
- Around line 1657-1682: Add a warning log in the orphan-owner loop when
isProcessAlive(owner.pid) causes the owner file to be preserved, including the
recorded PID and matching the warning style used by the surrounding helper
cleanup logic. Keep the existing skip behavior unchanged.
- Around line 1270-1306: Update mapWithConcurrency so only index >= items.length
terminates a runner; when an in-range item is undefined or comes from a sparse
slot, skip it and continue claiming subsequent indices instead of returning
early.

In `@lib/runtime/app-helper-selection.ts`:
- Around line 18-40: Add a test assertion linking RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_STALE_MS
to the wrapper’s configured heartbeat, ensuring the staleness window is at least
ten heartbeat intervals. Document or reference the heartbeat source used by the
assertion so future increases fail tests instead of silently invalidating helper
liveness detection.
- Around line 49-90: Add direct regression tests covering readRuntimeHelperPid
and isLiveRuntimeHelper for invalid PIDs, stale records, updatedAt set to null,
and future startedAt values, plus selectRuntimeHelperStatus recency ordering
among live helpers. Use process.pid or another owned live PID, avoid asserting
foreign-process errno behavior, and pass one fixed now value consistently to
selection and liveRuntimeHelpers count assertions.

Apply the same fix in `@test/runtime-current-account.test.ts` around lines 351 -
376: Covers the missing future-startedAt branch and related timestamp-boundary
assertions.

In `@lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts`:
- Around line 150-176: Bound the synchronous status-file scan in
readAppRuntimeHelperStatus and its helper listAppRuntimeHelperStatusPaths, using
a short-lived cache or bounded scan so repeated dashboard reads avoid unbounded
I/O while preserving selectRuntimeHelperStatus behavior. Handle concurrent
status-file deletion and Windows EBUSY without throwing, and add Vitest coverage
for repeated reads, those filesystem races, and multiple stale per-PID files in
the existing runtime account tests.

In `@scripts/codex.js`:
- Around line 3987-4067: Update createRuntimeRotationAppHelperOwnerLivenessCheck
and its callers so the identity recheck interval is derived from the resolved
idle window or an explicit environment override instead of remaining fixed at
APP_RUNTIME_HELPER_OWNER_IDENTITY_RECHECK_MS. Thread the interval through the
helper construction while preserving the existing three-state verdict and
single-flight asynchronous probe behavior.
- Around line 3937-3950: Update readProcessStartTimeMs and
readProcessStartTimeMsAsync in scripts/codex.js at lines 3937-3950 to return
null immediately on process.platform === "win32", avoiding ps execution while
preserving existing behavior elsewhere. Update the degraded-check row in
docs/development/ARCHITECTURE.md at line 206 to state that Windows has no
process start-time source, uses bare liveness checking, and is bounded by the
24-hour lifetime ceiling.
- Around line 4151-4279: Extend the regression coverage for
sweepStaleRuntimeRotationAppHelperMetadata beyond transient EBUSY retries:
verify a replacement file whose mtime changes between classification and removal
survives, and verify permanent EBUSY exhaustion is swallowed while the file
remains for a later sweep. Also update the stale launcher-order comment near the
existing test to state that the helper is spawned before the synchronous sweep,
with stdout handling and launch timeout setup afterward.

In `@test/app-bind.test.ts`:
- Around line 1141-1241: Add a regression test for unbindCodexAppRuntimeRotation
that creates more dead per-PID helper records than the configured unbind
concurrency limit, verifies all records and owner files are removed, and
observes that helper-stop operations never exceed the configured in-flight
bound. Reuse the existing per-PID status-file setup and the implementation’s
pool-limit symbol rather than hardcoding a duplicate limit.
- Around line 1177-1241: Add a variadic withDeadPids helper in the owned-PIDs
test utility that spawns the requested number of independent dead processes,
reaps them all before invoking the callback, and passes their PIDs as an array.
Refactor the multi-PID fixtures around unbindCodexAppRuntimeRotation and the
corresponding runtime-current-account test to use this helper, flattening the
nested withDeadPid scopes while preserving all existing assertions and setup.

In `@test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts`:
- Around line 3443-3454: Replace the inline sleeper creation, SIGKILL, and
polling logic in the affected test with the existing withDeadPid helper from
owned-pids.ts. Keep the current dead-PID assertion inside the helper’s callback,
remove the unnecessary Number coercions, and preserve the existing
cleanup/finally structure.
- Around line 734-745: Gate the identity-specific EPERM test that depends on
readOwnProcessStartTimeMs with it.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"). Keep the
existing non-Windows test behavior unchanged and do not alter the separate
Windows fallback coverage.

In `@test/helpers/owned-pids.ts`:
- Around line 20-34: Close the parent-side stdin pipe when reaping the child:
update waitForExit and the corresponding live/dead PID helper cleanup paths to
destroy child.stdin after the child exits. Preserve the existing exit/signal
checks and exit-event waiting behavior.
- Around line 36-50: Update withDeadPid so it revalidates that the captured PID
is still dead immediately before invoking run, using the existing
process-liveness mechanism; if the PID has been recycled, fail the fixture with
a clear error instead of passing it to callers. Keep the child spawn, kill, and
waitForExit sequence unchanged.

After a config source is selected, environment variables override individual runtime settings.
A set-but-missing CODEX_MULTI_AUTH_CONFIG_PATH is ignored for load until the file is created; the next save still writes to that path when the env var is set.
If CODEX_HOME is set to a non-default directory, multi-auth resolves strictly to $CODEX_HOME/multi-auth without scanning other roots for existing pools.
Package install scripts stay side-effect-free (postinstall prints a short notice only).
The official CLI credential store is pinned to cli_auth_credentials_store = "file" in ~/.codex/config.toml, so front-ends that exec the official binary directly stop triggering macOS login-keychain prompts.
It never runs npm install or update commands for you.
The official app files are not patched.
The proxy preserves request bodies and streaming responses, replaces outbound auth headers with the selected managed account, and rotates to another account before response bytes are streamed when it sees rate limits, server errors, network failures, or refresh failures.
It removes hop-by-hop headers, private account metadata headers, and stale decoded content-encoding from client responses.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth, do not flag explicit imports from "vitest" (e.g., describe, it, expect, beforeEach/afterEach, etc.) in test files as issues—even if the Vitest config sets `globals: true`. The repo’s established convention is to keep these imports for consistency with neighboring tests; removing them would make files outliers.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth test files (e.g. `test/*.test.ts`), when creating V3 storage fixtures for accounts, it’s an intentional convention to use `as never` for deliberately minimal stored-account objects that only include `refreshToken`, `addedAt`, and `lastUsed`. Do not treat `as never` here as a type-safety problem: optional/other fields are expected to be populated by the runtime during execution, and the cast is used solely to keep the fixture minimal and consistent across existing tests.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

staleness window is coupled to a heartbeat constant that lives in another file and can be overridden below 60s.

the doc block asserts the publish path heartbeats "at least once per APP_RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_HEARTBEAT_MS (60s)". the actual heartbeat is Math.min(APP_RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_HEARTBEAT_MS, idleTimeoutMs, detachedIdleMs) in scripts/codex.js:4420, so the real cadence is at most 60s. that direction is safe for this reader, and both defaults are far above 60s.

the risk is the reverse edit: raise APP_RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_HEARTBEAT_MS in scripts/codex.js and this 10-minute window silently starts declaring live helpers dead, with no compile-time or test-time link between the two numbers. the wrapper cannot import from lib/ before dist/ exists, so a shared constant is not available — but a comment naming the file and a test asserting RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_STALE_MS >= 10 * <wrapper heartbeat> would fail loudly instead.

no code change required if you would rather pin it with an assertion in the suite above.

Two of these were documentation this PR had itself made wrong: moving the
metadata sweep after `spawn()` invalidated a claim in ARCHITECTURE.md and
a comment in the wrapper test that both still said "before".

Behaviour:

- `ps` does not exist on Windows, so `readProcessStartTimeMs` and its
  async twin could only ever fail there — once per launcher launch and up
  to `probeBudget` times per sweep, each one a process spawn that learns
  nothing. Both short-circuit on win32 now. Windows runs owner liveness
  on bare `kill(pid, 0)` and the 24h ceiling is what bounds a leak there;
  the "degraded check" row says so instead of implying it is rare.

- The owner-identity recheck was pinned at 60s. `lastIdentityVerdict`
  starts optimistic, so the first tick reports the owner alive while the
  probe is in flight — deliberate against a 12h timeout, but the
  lifecycle tests compress the window to 250ms, where a 60s recheck is
  longer than the whole thing under test and the flip came down to probe
  timing. The interval now scales off the resolved idle/detached window.
  Production is unchanged: both defaults are hours.

- `mapWithConcurrency` retired a runner on an `undefined` item rather
  than skipping it. Unreachable today — `items` is `string[]` — but the
  failure mode it guards is "helpers left running while the user is told
  the app was unbound", so only running past the end ends a runner.

- The orphan owner pass preserved a live-PID owner file without a word,
  while every other preserve in that function warns. Telling "a helper is
  starting right now" from "the PID was recycled" needs the
  recorded-start-time comparison the launcher sweep does and unbind has
  no equivalent of; that stays a scope decision, but not a silent one.

Fixtures:

- Windows allocates PIDs from a pool rather than a monotonic counter, so
  `withDeadPid`'s "a just-exited PID is not reused" did not hold there —
  and its callers assert dead-PID cleanup on every platform. Deadness is
  re-asserted immediately before the PID is handed over, turning a rare
  Windows-only flake in a cleanup test into an immediate fixture error.
- The parent end of the stdin pipe is destroyed on reap; `exit` fires
  before stdio teardown and some fixtures hold 16 at once.
- The hand-rolled spawn/SIGKILL/poll copy in the wrapper test uses
  `withDeadPid`, which waits on `exit` instead of polling.
- The EPERM owner-liveness test is win32-skipped: it sources the owner
  start time from `ps`, so on Windows the env var was empty, the identity
  branch never engaged, and it exercised bare liveness under a name
  claiming otherwise.
- Nested `withDeadPid` scopes flattened via `withDeadPids`.

Coverage:

- `UNBIND_HELPER_CONCURRENCY` is exported and observed. With three
  records any pool width behaved identically, so an edit to `Infinity`
  would have shipped green; a fixture now runs 2x the bound in live
  helper records through unbind and measures peak in-flight at the
  `verifyProcessIdentity` seam.
- test/app-helper-selection.test.ts covers the four selector predicates
  directly — non-positive/fractional PIDs, every terminal state, the
  staleness boundary either side by 1ms, null `updatedAt`, `startedAt`
  inside and outside the clock tolerance, recency in both input orders.
- The staleness window is pinned to the wrapper's heartbeat. The wrapper
  cannot import from `lib/`, so nothing linked the two numbers; the test
  reads the constant out of `scripts/codex.js` and asserts ten heartbeats
  still fit inside the window.
- A permanently locked metadata file is asserted survivable rather than
  assumed: the launch still exits 0 and the file waits for the next sweep.

Not taken: a cache for the synchronous helper-status scan. It is
pre-existing (#664 introduced the per-PID scan) and unchanged here; the
menu loop blocks on user input between iterations, and the accumulation
that would make it hurt is what this PR bounds. A time-based cache would
show stale account state in the UI it is meant to speed up.

Still uncovered: the mtime guard's negative path — a file replaced
between classification and deletion. Forcing a write into that window
needs another production test hook, which is too high a price for a
microseconds-wide race.

Worked through all 16 review comments. 15 applied, 1 declined with reasoning.

Two of them caught documentation this PR had made factually wrong — moving the sweep after spawn() invalidated a claim in ARCHITECTURE.md and a comment in the wrapper test that both still said "before". Those are the most valuable findings in the set.

Applied

Correctness / behaviour

  • ps is POSIX-only, so Windows paid a failed spawn to learn nothing. readProcessStartTimeMs and its async twin now short-circuit on win32 instead of spawning a process that can only fail — once per launcher launch and up to probeBudget times per sweep. Windows runs owner liveness on bare kill(pid, 0), and the ARCHITECTURE.md "degraded check" row now says so instead of framing it as an edge case.
  • The identity recheck was pinned at 60s against test windows of 250ms. lastIdentityVerdict starts optimistic, so with a recheck longer than the entire window under test, whether the verdict ever flipped came down to probe timing. The interval now scales off the resolved idle/detached window, so the flip is a property of the code rather than a race. Production is untouched — both defaults are hours.
  • mapWithConcurrency retired a runner on an undefined item. Only running past the end ends a runner now; an in-range hole is skipped. Today items is string[] so it was unreachable, but the failure mode it guards is "helpers left running while the user is told the app was unbound".
  • The orphan pass preserved a live-PID owner file silently. Every other preserve in that function warns; this one now does too, naming the PID. Distinguishing "a helper is starting right now" from "the PID was recycled" needs the recorded-start-time comparison the launcher sweep does and unbind has no equivalent of — that stays a scope decision, but no longer a silent one.

Test fixtures

  • Windows recycles PIDs from a pool, so withDeadPid's "a just-exited PID is not reused" claim did not hold there, and its callers assert unbind removes a dead PID's files on every platform. Deadness is now re-asserted immediately before the PID is handed over, turning a rare Windows-only flake in a cleanup test into an immediate, legible fixture error.
  • The parent's end of the stdin pipe is destroyed on reap — named-pipe handles on Windows, and some fixtures open 16 at once.
  • The hand-rolled spawn/SIGKILL/poll copy in codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts is gone; it uses withDeadPid, which waits on exit instead of polling.
  • The EPERM owner-liveness test is now skipIf(win32). It fed the owner start time from ps, so on Windows the env var was empty, the identity branch never engaged, and the test exercised bare liveness under a name claiming otherwise.
  • Nested withDeadPid scopes flattened via withDeadPids(n, …).

Coverage that was missing

  • The unbind concurrency bound is now observable. UNBIND_HELPER_CONCURRENCY is exported and a fixture runs 2 × that many live helper records through unbind, measuring peak in-flight at the verifyProcessIdentity seam — the only point every candidate crosses. Asserts every record was processed, that more than one ran at a time, and that the peak never exceeded the bound. Verified by mutation: setting the pool to Infinity fails it.
  • test/app-helper-selection.test.ts — 32 direct cases over the four predicates: non-positive/fractional/NaN/string PIDs, every terminal state, dead PIDs, the staleness boundary either side by 1ms, null updatedAt, startedAt inside and outside the clock tolerance, recency ordering in both input orders against a fixed now, the no-live fallback, and non-mutation of the caller's array.
  • The staleness window is now pinned to the wrapper's heartbeat. As noted, the wrapper cannot import from lib/, so nothing linked the two numbers. The test reads APP_RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_HEARTBEAT_MS out of scripts/codex.js and asserts ten of them still fit inside RUNTIME_HELPER_STATUS_STALE_MS — raising the heartbeat now fails loudly instead of silently declaring live helpers dead.
  • A permanently locked metadata file no longer needs to be assumed survivable: a fixture drives the injector past the retry budget and asserts the launch still exits 0 with the file left for the next sweep.

Docs

  • ARCHITECTURE.md: telemetry row corrected to after-spawn with the reason; degraded-check row states the Windows reality; connection-gating row rewritten for the never-served gate.
  • storage-paths.md: documents unbind as the independent reclamation path, which is the only repair available on a machine that stopped launching helpers.
  • The stale // The launcher's sweep ran before its helper spawned. comment in the wrapper test.

Declined

"Bound the synchronous helper-status scan" (runtime-current-account.ts) — not taking the cache.

The scan is pre-existing (#664 introduced per-PID files); this PR does not change its cost. The menu loop it cites blocks on user input between iterations, so a readdir plus a few reads per interaction is not a real cost unless hundreds of stale files have accumulated — which is precisely the condition this PR bounds, via the launch sweep and the new unbind reclamation. Fixing the population is the right layer.

A time-based cache in a status reader would also make the interactive menu show stale account state, which is a behaviour regression in exactly the UI the change is meant to speed up. Capping the scan would be worse — silently ignoring live helpers.

One verification caveat

The mtime-guard's negative path (a file replaced between classification and deletion) is still uncovered. Its positive path is covered by every existing sweep test, but forcing a write into that window needs a new production test hook, and I judged an eighth fault injector too high a price for a guard against a microseconds-wide race. Flagging it rather than leaving it implied.

npm run typecheck, npm run lint, and the full suite are green; the POSIX-only lifecycle tests were re-run in a Linux container.

The suite pins individual predicates with two or three records. That is not
the shape the #663 machine was in — 183 live helpers, 701 owner files, one
shared status file rewritten ~183 times a second — and none of the existing
tests would notice a fix that works for three records and falls over at
three hundred.

Sixteen tests, split by what they need:

test/zz-stress-helper-lifecycle.test.ts runs everywhere and drives the
library surface directly —

- unbind over 150 dead records with owner files, 100 orphaned owner files
  with no status record, and 6 live helpers whose ownership cannot be
  verified: everything provably dead reclaimed, every live record preserved,
  one warning per preserved record.
- a directory of malformed metadata: truncated JSON, empty, whitespace,
  array, bare string, null, bare number, negative/fractional/zero/string/
  unsafe-integer PIDs, non-numeric startedAt, missing and foreign `kind`,
  a 2 MB record past the sanity cap, and garbage owner files. Neither unbind
  nor the readers may throw — unbind runs during `uninstall`.
- filesystem shapes that are not plain files: a directory where a status
  file goes, a directory where an owner file goes, a symlink to a real
  record, a broken symlink. `statSync` succeeds on all of them, so a reader
  that trusts it throws EISDIR inside `rotation status`.
- readers hammering the directory while unbind deletes underneath them:
  every read is existsSync/statSync/readFileSync, so a file removed between
  any two steps has to degrade to "no record", never to an exception.
- unbind idempotent across three rounds, and four concurrent unbinds over
  one directory.
- the concurrency bound held across five back-to-back unbinds, checking the
  pool does not leak a slot per invocation.
- the selector against 200 dead records carrying the *freshest* timestamps
  plus a live-but-stale one and 8 live-and-fresh: recency alone would pick
  wrong on both counts.
- selection deterministic across 50 deterministic shuffles, because readdir
  order differs by filesystem and selection must be a function of the
  records.
- every record aging out at the staleness boundary as time marches forward.
- the filename contract against 16 near-miss names, and a round-trip over
  eight PID magnitudes.

The wrapper-driven tests live in test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts because they
need its fixtures, and are POSIX-only like the rest of the lifecycle suite —

- metadata stays bounded across 30 launch/exit cycles. The pre-fix behaviour
  was one owner file per launch kept forever; the property is that the count
  is a function of helper overlap, not of how many times the loop ran.
- 10 concurrent helpers each publish their own per-PID file naming their own
  PID, none overwriting another, none reaping a sibling. This is defect 3
  in #663.
- the reap matrix: owner-alive, owner-dead-never-served, owner-dead-served,
  no-owner-recorded, and owner-dead-socket-held, all running at once and
  asserted as a set, so a rule firing on the wrong configuration reads as a
  divergence rather than a single red test.
- a launcher sweeping 700 pre-existing stale files, reclaiming the lot
  without pushing past the launch handshake bound.

Mutation-checked, each against the test that should catch it: removing the
never-served gate and collapsing the unknown-owner verdict both fail the
reap matrix; removing the orphan owner enumeration fails the scale test;
disabling the launcher sweep fails the 700-file test; unbounding the unbind
pool fails the concurrency test. The pristine tree passes all fifteen.

Two fixes to the fixtures themselves, both found by the stress work:

- `withDeadPids` spawned every child at once. The stress fixtures ask for
  hundreds, and that many simultaneous spawns can hit a process-table or fd
  limit — surfacing as a fixture error indistinguishable from the bug under
  test. Batched at 32.
- the launch-cycle assertion was `peak < cycles`, which only discriminates
  at the exact worst case. Tightened to a ceiling well under it.

Deep stress pass over the implementation, pushed as e087c43.

The existing suite pins individual predicates with two or three records. That is not the shape the #663 machine was in — 183 live helpers, 701 owner files — and nothing here would have noticed a fix that works for three records and falls over at three hundred. So: 16 stress tests, and then a mutation matrix to prove the stress tests are load-bearing rather than decorative.

Mutation matrix — 5 reverts, 5 caught

Reverted fix Test that failed
never-served gate (back to #665 behaviour) reap matrix
unknown owner collapsed to dead reap matrix
orphan owner-file enumeration 250-record scale test
launcher metadata sweep disabled 700-stale-file sweep
unbind pool set to Infinity concurrency bound

Control run on the pristine tree: all 15 pass. Mutations were applied inside a container copy, never to the worktree.

What the tests actually drive

Wrapper-driven, POSIX-only (in codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts, which owns the fixtures):

  • 30 launch/exit cycles, asserting metadata plateaus rather than climbing. The pre-fix behaviour was one owner file per launch kept forever; the property under test is that the count is a function of helper overlap, not of how many times the loop ran.
  • 10 concurrent helpers, each publishing its own per-PID file naming its own PID, none overwriting another, none reaping a sibling — defect 3 in [bug] runtime rotation app helpers leak past their idle timeout; all helpers trample one shared status file #663.
  • The reap matrix: owner-alive, owner-dead-never-served, owner-dead-served-traffic, no-owner-recorded, owner-dead-socket-held — all running simultaneously and asserted as a set, so a rule firing on the wrong configuration reads as a divergence rather than one red test.
  • A launcher sweeping 700 pre-existing stale files, reclaiming the lot without pushing past the launch handshake bound.

Library-level, runs everywhere (test/zz-stress-helper-lifecycle.test.ts):

  • unbind over 150 dead records + 100 orphaned owner files + 6 unverifiable live helpers — everything dead reclaimed, every live record preserved, one warning each.
  • 18 malformed payload shapes plus a 2 MB record and garbage owner files. Neither unbind nor the readers may throw; unbind runs during uninstall.
  • filesystem shapes that are not plain files: a directory where a status file goes, a directory where an owner file goes, a symlink to a real record, a broken symlink. statSync succeeds on all of them, so a reader that trusts it throws EISDIR inside rotation status.
  • readers hammering the directory while unbind deletes underneath them — every read is existsSync/statSync/readFileSync, so a file removed between any two steps must degrade to "no record".
  • unbind idempotent across three rounds; four concurrent unbinds over one directory; the pool bound held across five back-to-back runs (a pool leaking a slot per invocation would show here).
  • the selector against 200 dead records carrying the freshest timestamps, plus a live-but-stale one and 8 live-and-fresh — recency alone picks wrong on both counts.
  • selection deterministic across 50 shuffles, because readdir order differs by filesystem.
  • the filename contract against 16 near-miss names; PID round-trip across eight magnitudes.

Two fixes to the fixtures, found by the stress work

  • withDeadPids spawned every child at once. At the scale these fixtures ask for, that can hit a process-table or fd limit — and the failure would surface as a fixture error indistinguishable from the bug under test. Batched at 32.
  • The launch-cycle assertion was peak < cycles, which only discriminates at the exact worst case. Tightened to a ceiling well under it.

Worth stating plainly

The stress testing did not find a bug in the implementation. Everything held at every scale and under every hostile input. That is a real result, but it is weaker evidence than "found and fixed problems" — the honest read is that the implementation survived what I could think to throw at it, with the mutation matrix as evidence the throwing was real.

Unchanged from the previous round: the mtime guard's negative path is still uncovered, for the same reason.

Verification

  • Windows npm test: 339 files, 5431 passed, 19 skipped, 0 failures.
  • Linux container (node:22, non-root, fresh npm ci): all 16 stress tests pass, including the four wrapper-driven ones that never run on Windows.
  • npm run typecheck, npm run lint clean.

In `@test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts`:
- Around line 7783-7795: Update the stress-test assertions around
countHelperMetadata so they require evidence that helper metadata was created,
such as a positive peak or final owner/status count, while retaining the
existing upper bounds that detect accumulation. Ensure the assertions fail when
the launch path creates no helpers, without weakening the cycle-overlap limits.
- Around line 7705-7723: Update countHelperMetadata so its readdirSync catch
returns zero counts only for an ENOENT error, and rethrow all other errors
instead of treating them as empty results. Preserve the existing metadata
counting behavior for successfully read directories.
- Around line 7970-7977: Update the test around the reaped helper to locate the
expected case by its label rather than using the positional running[1] entry.
Assert that the labeled helper exists, then unconditionally read its status and
verify state is "owner-gone"; do not guard the assertion with an if (reaped)
check.
- Around line 7955-7968: Update the process-aliveness assertions to pair each
case with its corresponding running helper instead of defaulting a missing
helper PID to 0; preserve the expected labels and alive comparisons while
ensuring missing entries cannot be reported as alive. Also correct the nearby
header comment to describe the five configurations in cases.

In `@test/helpers/owned-pids.ts`:
- Around line 100-113: Update waitForExit to handle child-process error events
as well as exit, ensuring failed spawns cannot leave cleanup pending. Validate
child PIDs before starting batch cleanup, and apply the same ordering and
handling in withLivePids. Add deterministic coverage for concurrent failed-spawn
cleanup and Windows named-pipe cleanup.

Learning: The duplicated runtime-helper selection logic in `lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts` and `lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts` was introduced in PR `#664`. A follow-up change should centralize the selector and verify process identity, because `rotation status` can otherwise select different helpers for its status line and account markers. PR `#665` only adds `owner-gone` to a terminal-state comment and does not change this behavior.

Learning: In `scripts/codex.js`, runtime helper owner identity uses the owner PID plus a POSIX `ps` process-start-time comparison. On Windows, where that identity cannot be read, the owner-liveness check intentionally falls back to bare PID liveness. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` must use a genuinely dead PID, rather than a mismatched start time, to test detached-helper reaping on Windows.

Learning: In `scripts/codex.js`, runtime helper owner identity uses the owner PID plus a POSIX `ps` process-start-time comparison. On Windows, where that identity cannot be read, the owner-liveness check intentionally falls back to bare PID liveness. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` must use a genuinely dead PID, rather than a mismatched start time, to test detached-helper reaping on Windows.

Other errors, including `EINVAL` and `ESRCH`, classify the PID as dead. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` mirrors this behavior.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth, do not flag explicit imports from "vitest" (e.g., describe, it, expect, beforeEach/afterEach, etc.) in test files as issues—even if the Vitest config sets `globals: true`. The repo’s established convention is to keep these imports for consistency with neighboring tests; removing them would make files outliers.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth test files (e.g. `test/*.test.ts`), when creating V3 storage fixtures for accounts, it’s an intentional convention to use `as never` for deliberately minimal stored-account objects that only include `refreshToken`, `addedAt`, and `lastUsed`. Do not treat `as never` here as a type-safety problem: optional/other fields are expected to be populated by the runtime during execution, and the cast is used solely to keep the fixture minimal and consistent across existing tests.

All five findings are against the stress tests added in the previous
commit, and three of them are defects in the tests rather than nits.

The serious one: the launch-cycle test passed if no helper was ever
created. Every assertion in it was an upper bound, so a launch path that
silently stopped publishing metadata — a wrong env gate, a proxy fixture
that never engaged, `app .` short-circuiting on the fake bin — left every
count at zero and the test green, while proving nothing about the
accumulation it exists to guard. That is the same defect class as the
unexercised selector branch this PR fixes for #668, in the test written to
guard against it.

It now probes first: one launch with a long idle window, asserting helper
metadata actually appears, and that probe helper is torn down before the
measurement loop starts. The loop additionally records whether it ever
observed a helper, and asserts it did. Verified by mutation: stubbing out
both metadata writers in the wrapper now fails the test instead of passing
it.

The rest:

- `waitForExit` waited only on `exit`. A child that never spawns emits
  `error` and never `exit`, so the promise stayed pending forever — and
  since the batched helpers await a whole batch concurrently, one failed
  spawn stalled every sibling and hung the run rather than failing it. It
  now settles on either event, and the batch is reaped before the PIDs are
  validated so a throw cannot leak the siblings that did start.

- `countHelperMetadata` swallowed every readdir error and reported zero.
  Only ENOENT is a legitimate zero; anything else — a permissions change, a
  path that is not a directory — was being reported as a clean sweep, which
  the upper-bound assertions accept happily. Narrowed to ENOENT, rethrowing
  the rest.

- The reap matrix indexed `running[index]?.ready.pid ?? 0` and passed the
  fallback to `isProcessAlive`. On POSIX `kill(0, 0)` probes the caller's
  own process group and succeeds, so a missing helper would have read as
  alive — and four of the five cases expect alive. Zipped off `running`
  instead, with the length pinned.

- The same test hardcoded `running[1]` as the reaped case and guarded the
  assertion with `if (reaped)`, so reordering `cases` would have asserted
  `owner-gone` against a helper meant to survive, and a missing entry would
  have skipped the only assertion proving *why* the helper died. Looked up
  by label and asserted unconditionally. The header comment said "four
  configurations" over a list of five.

test/owned-pids-helper.test.ts covers the helpers themselves, including a
direct assertion that a child which fails to spawn signals via `error` —
the premise the hang fix rests on — with a timeout well inside vitest's so
a regression reads as a failure rather than a stuck suite.

Round 2 addressed in 8f0b578 — all five, and three of them were real defects in the stress tests I added in e087c43, not nits.

The serious one: the launch-cycle test passed if no helper was ever created

Correct, and it is the worst kind of miss — every assertion in that test was an upper bound, so a launch path that silently stopped publishing metadata would leave every count at zero and the test green while claiming to guard the #663 accumulation. That is the same defect class this PR fixes for #668 (an unexercised selector branch), reproduced in the test written to guard against it. My own mutation matrix did not catch it, because the mutation that disabled the sweep was caught by the 700-file test rather than this one.

Fixed by making the fixture prove itself before it measures: one probe launch with a long idle window asserting helper metadata actually appears, that probe helper torn down before the loop starts, and the loop separately recording whether it ever observed a helper.

Mutation-verified — stubbing out writeRuntimeRotationAppHelperStatus and writeRuntimeRotationAppHelperOwner in the wrapper:

##### MUTATION V1: helper metadata never published (the vacuous-pass case)
 × stress: metadata stays bounded across many launch/exit cycles
   AssertionError: expected 0 to be greater than 0

That mutation passed green before this commit.

waitForExit hung forever on a failed spawn

Also correct, and worse than described: I introduced the batching in the previous commit, and batched children are awaited concurrently, so a single failed spawn would stall every sibling and hang the run rather than fail it. It settles on error as well as exit now, and the batch is reaped before the PIDs are validated so a throw cannot leak the siblings that did start. Same treatment for withLivePids.

test/owned-pids-helper.test.ts covers the helpers directly, including an assertion that a child which fails to spawn signals via error — the premise the fix rests on — with a timeout well inside vitest's, so a regression reads as a failure rather than a stuck suite.

The rest

  • countHelperMetadata reported every readdir failure as zero. Only ENOENT is a legitimate zero; a permissions change or a non-directory path was being reported as a clean sweep, which the upper-bound assertions accept happily. Narrowed, rethrowing the rest.
  • isProcessAlive(running[index]?.ready.pid ?? 0). On POSIX kill(0, 0) probes the caller's own process group and succeeds, so a missing helper read as alive — and four of the five cases expect alive. Zipped off running with the length pinned.
  • running[1] hardcoded, guarded by if (reaped). Reordering cases would have asserted owner-gone against a helper meant to survive, and a missing entry would have skipped the only assertion proving why the helper died. Looked up by label, asserted unconditionally. The header comment saying "four configurations" over a list of five is fixed too.

Verification

  • Windows npm test: 340 files, 5437 passed, 19 skipped, 0 failures.
  • Linux container (node:22, non-root): all 16 stress tests pass; V1 and V2 mutations both caught; control green.
  • npm run typecheck, npm run lint clean.

- Around line 80-107: Update the child-spawn test to exercise the owned-PIDs
helper failure path rather than attaching listeners directly to a spawned
process. Add or reuse an injectable child factory seam, invoke withDeadPids with
a child whose spawn emits error without exit, and assert that the helper rejects
before the local timeout while keeping the test deterministic.
- Around line 91-106: Update the Promise.race cleanup in the test to retain the
timeout handle and place clearTimeout together with child.stdin?.destroy() in a
finally block, ensuring cleanup runs after the race regardless of its outcome.
Preserve the existing settled result assertion and child event handling.

Learning: The duplicated runtime-helper selection logic in `lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts` and `lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts` was introduced in PR `#664`. A follow-up change should centralize the selector and verify process identity, because `rotation status` can otherwise select different helpers for its status line and account markers. PR `#665` only adds `owner-gone` to a terminal-state comment and does not change this behavior.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth, do not flag explicit imports from "vitest" (e.g., describe, it, expect, beforeEach/afterEach, etc.) in test files as issues—even if the Vitest config sets `globals: true`. The repo’s established convention is to keep these imports for consistency with neighboring tests; removing them would make files outliers.

Learning: In ndycode/codex-multi-auth test files (e.g. `test/*.test.ts`), when creating V3 storage fixtures for accounts, it’s an intentional convention to use `as never` for deliberately minimal stored-account objects that only include `refreshToken`, `addedAt`, and `lastUsed`. Do not treat `as never` here as a type-safety problem: optional/other fields are expected to be populated by the runtime during execution, and the cast is used solely to keep the fixture minimal and consistent across existing tests.

Learning: The duplicated runtime-helper selection logic in `lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts` and `lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts` was introduced in PR `#664`. A follow-up change should centralize the selector and verify process identity, because `rotation status` can otherwise select different helpers for its status line and account markers. PR `#665` only adds `owner-gone` to a terminal-state comment and does not change this behavior.

Timestamp: 2026-06-10T01:38:55.096Z
Learning: In the ndycode/codex-multi-auth repo, uniqueness tests for crypto-backed nonce/ID generators (e.g., `tempFileNonce()` and `tempPathFor()` in `test/temp-path.test.ts`) intentionally draw from the real CSPRNG (`node:crypto.randomBytes`) rather than a forced unique sequence through a mock. Flagging these as nondeterministic is incorrect: collision probability across 200 draws from a 2^32 space is ~4.7×10^-6 per run (~1 in 200,000 CI runs), which is below any actionable flake threshold. The deterministic-tests guideline applies to clocks, ordering, network and filesystem races — not to astronomically-unlikely CSPRNG collisions. Mocking `randomBytes` to a pre-made unique sequence would verify only the mock, not the implementation, and would not catch regressions where the nonce stops using the CSPRNG (e.g., constant stub or truncated suffix).

Learning: In `lib/request/rate-limit-decision.ts` (PR `#532`, repo ndycode/codex-multi-auth), the expression `(normalizedPinnedIndex ?? 0) + 1` in `buildPinnedUnavailableErrorBody` is pre-existing behavior moved verbatim from `lib/runtime-rotation-proxy.ts` on `main`. When `pinnedIndex` is null/undefined, `pinnedAccountIndex` is set to null but the message still says "Pinned account 1 is currently unavailable…". The fix (null index renders as "The pinned account is currently unavailable…" with no numeric index) is tracked in stacked PR `#546` alongside an update to the contradictory expectation in `test/issue-474-pin-honored.test.ts`.

Comment thread test/owned-pids-helper.test.ts Outdated
Comment thread test/owned-pids-helper.test.ts Outdated
The test added for the hang fix installed its own `error` listener and
asserted what node does with a child that never spawns. It never called
`withDeadPids`, `withLivePids` or `waitForExit`, so deleting the handling
it was written to protect left it green. It verified nothing.

`OwnedPidOptions.spawnChild` is the seam that makes the real path
reachable: the failure only occurs for a child that never spawns, which
cannot be produced by spawning a working binary. Three tests now drive
the helpers themselves through a factory that always fails, each bounded
well inside vitest's own timeout so a regression reads as an assertion
failure rather than as a suite that sits there until the runner gives up.

Rewriting it that way immediately failed, and the reason was a second
defect in the helper rather than in the test: `child.kill()` on a child
that never spawned throws instead of no-opping — `EINVAL` on Windows —
and that throw escaped the cleanup loop before the batch helpers could
report why the batch was unusable. Callers saw `kill EINVAL`, and on a
partial failure the real diagnosis was masked entirely. Signalling now
goes through a guarded `killChild`, and the singular helpers reap their
child before reporting a failed spawn rather than leaking it.

Mutation-checked the way the previous version should have been: removing
the `error` listener from `waitForExit` makes all three tests report
`HUNG` at exactly their 5s budget.

Also clears the race timer in a `finally`. It was left referenced after
the race resolved, holding worker shutdown open for its full five
seconds.

Round 3 addressed in 6b9f327. Both correct, and the Major one was a tautology in my test that then exposed a second real bug.

The spawn-failure test asserted node's behaviour, not the fix

Right, and worse than "does not call the helpers" — it installed its own error listener, so removing child.once("error", finish) from waitForExit left it green. I had presented it as verification of the hang fix; it verified nothing.

The failure only occurs for a child that never spawns, which cannot be produced by spawning a working binary, so there was no way to reach it without a seam. OwnedPidOptions.spawnChild is that seam. Three tests now drive withDeadPids, withLivePids and withDeadPid through a factory that always fails, each bounded well inside vitest's own timeout so a regression reads as an assertion failure rather than a stuck suite.

Rewriting it found a second defect in the helper

The new tests failed immediately, and not because of the test:

AssertionError: expected 'rejected: kill EINVAL' to contain 'failed to spawn'

child.kill() on a child that never spawned throws rather than no-opping — EINVAL on Windows — and that throw escaped the cleanup loop before the batch helpers could report why the batch was unusable. Callers got kill EINVAL; on a partial batch failure the real diagnosis would have been masked entirely. Signalling now goes through a guarded killChild, and the singular helpers reap their child before reporting a failed spawn rather than leaking it.

That bug was reachable only through the path this finding asked me to test. It would have shipped otherwise.

Mutation-checked, properly this time

Removing the error listener from waitForExit:

 × makes withDeadPids reject instead of hanging   5019ms
 × makes withLivePids reject instead of hanging   5012ms
 × makes withDeadPid  reject instead of hanging   5010ms
   AssertionError: expected 'HUNG' not to be 'HUNG'

All three at exactly their 5s budget — the previous version of this test passed under the same mutation.

The timer

Fixed: cleared in a finally alongside child.stdin?.destroy(). It was left referenced after the race resolved, holding worker shutdown open for its full five seconds.

Verification

  • Windows npm test: 340 files, 5439 passed, 19 skipped, 0 failures.
  • npm run typecheck, npm run lint clean.

Learning: The duplicated runtime-helper selection logic in `lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts` and `lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts` was introduced in PR `#664`. A follow-up change should centralize the selector and verify process identity, because `rotation status` can otherwise select different helpers for its status line and account markers. PR `#665` only adds `owner-gone` to a terminal-state comment and does not change this behavior.

Learning: In `scripts/codex.js`, runtime helper owner identity uses the owner PID plus a POSIX `ps` process-start-time comparison. On Windows, where that identity cannot be read, the owner-liveness check intentionally falls back to bare PID liveness. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` must use a genuinely dead PID, rather than a mismatched start time, to test detached-helper reaping on Windows.

Other errors, including `EINVAL` and `ESRCH`, classify the PID as dead. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` mirrors this behavior.

- After enabling it, test one known `background: true` request end to end before rolling it across shared automation.

Learning: In `scripts/codex.js`, runtime helper owner identity uses the owner PID plus a POSIX `ps` process-start-time comparison. On Windows, where that identity cannot be read, the owner-liveness check intentionally falls back to bare PID liveness. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` must use a genuinely dead PID, rather than a mismatched start time, to test detached-helper reaping on Windows.

Learning: In this repository, the liveness probes in `lib/runtime/app-bind.ts`, `lib/runtime/runtime-current-account.ts`, and `lib/codex-manager/commands/rotation.ts` treat only successful `process.kill(pid, 0)` calls and `EPERM` errors as live processes. Other errors, including `EINVAL` and `ESRCH`, classify the PID as dead. `test/codex-bin-wrapper.test.ts` mirrors this behavior.

Do not treat `as never` here as a type-safety problem: optional/other fields are expected to be populated by the runtime during execution, and the cast is used solely to keep the fixture minimal and consistent across existing tests.

Comment thread test/owned-pids-helper.test.ts
Three of the four entry points had a failed-spawn regression; this one did
not, and its branch was changed in the same commit as the others. Its
cleanup runs from a `finally`, which is precisely where an unguarded
`kill` throw would have replaced the reported reason with its own — the
bug the guarded `killChild` exists to prevent.

Addressed in 02e0c9b.

Correct, and I had missed this comment entirely on the previous pass — not because it was hidden, but because I was enumerating review comments by timestamp window. My round-3 query filtered created_at > 13:00 (run before this landed at 13:56) and my round-4 query filtered > 14:05, so it fell in the gap between the two. I've switched to diffing comment IDs against the set I have already read, which cannot straddle a round that way.

On the substance: three of the four entry points had a failed-spawn regression and this one did not, despite its branch changing in the same commit. withLivePid is the case where cleanup runs from a finally — precisely where an unguarded kill throw replaces the reported reason with its own, which is the bug the guarded killChild exists to prevent. Now covered, and it settles rather than hanging like the other three.

Windows npm test: 340 files, 5440 passed, 19 skipped, 0 failures. Typecheck and lint clean.


For whoever picks this up: the running tally across this PR is four review rounds that each found something real, all of them after my own verification had reported green. Rounds 2 through 4 were entirely in the tests I wrote, including one that passed vacuously and one that asserted node's behaviour rather than the fix it was written for — and rewriting that second one immediately exposed a genuine kill EINVAL bug in the helper that would otherwise have shipped. The implementation itself has held up under all of it, including a five-mutation matrix and a stress suite at the scale of the original report. The tests around it needed the extra passes.

Version and documentation scaffold only. Release notes and the CHANGELOG
entry follow after publish, per the usual split.

Test stats move to 5459 tests across 341 files. The skipped count rises
from 4 to 19 because the helper-lifecycle coverage added in #669 is
`skipIf(win32)` — those tests run on POSIX and are counted as skipped on
the platform these numbers are measured on.
