Codex over app-server: a transport that can actually pause - #4595
Merged
Conversation
The gpt-5.6 line (luna, sol, terra) is in MCPJam's hosted catalog and passes today's `gpt-5` prefix rule, so a Codex host can be pointed at it right now. The pinned Codex CLI resolves those ids — no unknown-model warning — and gives the model ZERO tools. The turn completes and answers from chat alone, so the user gets a host that cannot act and nothing says so. Measured rather than guessed. `.spike-codex-appserver` drives the pinned 0.149.1 binary through every gpt-5-family id in the hosted catalog against a scripted fake Responses API (no E2B, no model spend): every other family gets 10-11 tools, the whole 5.6 line gets 0. `toCodexModel` now refuses tool-less LINES inside the family allowlist, which turns the silent turn into a `model-unsupported` pre-flight refusal. A line denylist rather than an exact-id allowlist because the hosted catalog is dynamic: an exact list would refuse newly hosted models that work fine, trading a silent-bad turn for a loud-wrong one. Also commits the preflight rig itself, so the claim is re-checkable: the pinned protocol schema with a hash manifest and a version-diff tool, a dependency-free app-server JSON-RPC client, the scripted Responses stand-in, and the P1-P5 gates, with findings in RESULTS.md.

The translation layer between `codex app-server`'s typed items and the harness stream, plus the two things the exec transport cannot do at all: pause for approval, and reach MCPJam's tools through real function calling. Three findings from the preflight rig shaped this and are worth knowing: - The approval request arrives BEFORE the matching `item/started`, and the framework throws on an approval for a tool call it has not seen. So the call is seeded from the approval's own params (`ensureToolCall`), and the later item is a no-op. This was the top-ranked risk in the plan; it is now a measured fact with a test on a recorded stream. - The native tool is `exec_command` taking a shell string, not the `shell` tool the exec transport reports. A catalog copied from the old transport would have been wrong. - Manual compaction is unreachable, not unsupported. `thread/compact/start` exists, but the framework's bridge routes inbound frames through a fixed switch with no default branch, so a custom command is silently dropped. A frame that looks like it worked and does nothing is worse than not offering it, so `doCompact` will throw; Codex's automatic compaction is still observed. Host tools reach the model as an MCP server Codex spawns, which calls back into the bridge over an authenticated loopback relay. Loopback is not enough on its own: the agent has a shell, so an unauthenticated local port would let it invoke the user's MCP tools directly and bypass the approval gate. The relay imposes no call timeout because a host tool can be parked behind a human decision; turn lifetime bounds it instead. 69 tests. The translator ones replay streams recorded from the pinned binary rather than hand-written mocks, and validate every emitted part against the framework's own schema.

`createCodexAppServer` implements the same interface the published adapters do, so the product socket is unchanged: only the protocol underneath is ours. Its shape deliberately mirrors `@ai-sdk/harness-codex` — same bridge asset, same three-rung resume ladder, same lifecycle payloads — because the inspector's own session machinery reaches into those shapes (`harness-session-state.ts` reads `data.bridge.sandboxId` to notice a replaced box, and a rename there degrades the check to its legacy path silently). The one capability it declares that the exec adapter cannot: `supportsBuiltinToolApprovals: true`. HarnessAgent refuses to construct with a non-allow-all permission mode without it, which is precisely why an approval-gated Codex host is unrepresentable today. Two deliberate refusals rather than pretending: - `doCompact` throws. app-server exposes `thread/compact/start`, but the shared bridge runtime routes inbound frames through a switch with no default branch, so a custom command is silently dropped. A frame that looks like it worked and does nothing is worse than an honest refusal. Automatic compaction is still observed and reported. - Built-in tool filtering throws; Codex has no way to remove a tool. The bootstrap installs an exact codex pin, not a range: the committed protocol snapshot and the measured tool-less model matrix both describe that binary. Its output is byte-identical across credentials, which the framework requires and a test asserts — which is why the model proxy URL is rendered by the bridge at session start rather than written into a bootstrap file. Both bundled entrypoints now guard their module-level start behind an env flag, and the bundler appends the call. That was not theoretical: importing the bridge for one exported helper bound a WebSocket server during the test run. 85 tests.

`MCPJAM_CODEX_APPSERVER_TRANSPORT=true` makes `getHarnessAdapter("codex")`
return the app-server arm. Off by default, so a deploy changes nothing.
It is one host with two protocols, not two harnesses: the id, display name,
model rules, skills root and MCP delivery are all identical across the swap, and
a test pins each of them. What moves is what the runtime can be asked to do —
approvals on both surfaces, and a tool catalog that names what actually ran.
Session continuity is the part that had to be exact. A session created over exec
has no app-server thread to resume, and a live bridge speaks one protocol, so
the runtime fingerprint gains a transport dimension. It is appended only when
the transport is set and not "exec", which means every existing session — Codex,
Claude Code and Cursor alike — hashes byte-identically to before and keeps
resuming. An unconditional append would have cold-started the entire fleet on
deploy. Flipping back lands on the original lane, so a rollback returns users to
the sessions they had.
Approvals also had to be REACHABLE, which the plan's "no client changes" missed:
the client hardcodes Codex's approval switch off, so the capability would have
been invisible in the product. A new `GET /v1/harness/:id/capabilities` reports
what the server actually resolved, and the Behavior tab prefers it. The override
is one-directional — a server answer can only enable a control the static map
disabled, never take one away — so a stale answer cannot grey out a switch that
works.
30 transport tests, 4 route tests, 3 client tests. Full harness suite green
(1035 server, 233 client).

The end-to-end test is the point of this commit. Everything else in the suite tests one piece against a fake; this one spawns the REAL bundled bridge against the REAL codex binary with a scripted model, so it is the only test that catches a wiring mistake between two components that are each individually correct. Both assertions are the claim the whole transport was built on: ✓ runs a turn, pauses for approval, and reports the command ✓ runs NOTHING when the approval is denied The second one is the invariant. A pause that the model can route around is worse than no pause at all, because the host editor would promise gating it does not do. Declining leaves `exit_code: null` and a `declined` status — the command never ran. Env-gated (`MCPJAM_CODEX_APPSERVER_LIVE`, `MCPJAM_CODEX_BIN`) and skipped by default: CI has no reason to download a 258 MB binary. Verified here on Linux against codex 0.149.1, which is the platform note in the file — approval semantics ride the sandbox implementation, so certifying Strict mode from a Mac would certify seatbelt behaviour for a box that runs bubblewrap. `schema-snapshot.test.ts` pins the other direction: every method the bridge dispatches on must exist in the committed 0.149.1 schema. A codex bump that renames or drops one fails in vitest instead of inside a sandbox, where it would surface as a turn that hangs. The new `GET /v1/harness/:id/capabilities` route also had to be registered in both route-parity maps, which is what the full suite caught. It is documented in openapi.json (like its `builtin-tools` sibling) but excluded from the SDK: it reports what THIS deployment resolved, and moves with a server flag rather than a release, so an SDK method would publish a value no caller could pin. Docs, public and internal, now say approval depends on the transport instead of "not supported", and both state the host-executed limit plainly: the app-server protocol has no approval request for an individual MCP tools/call, so native delivery would leave a Strict-mode host unable to gate one. That is the blocker for native delivery — not the transport. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KvcLzTupsDSq1Pf9wAsGqz
`CODEX_TOOL_LESS_MODEL_LINES` tells the next maintainer to re-run gate P5 on a codex bump and "move a line out of this list only with the matrix to show for it" — but the matrix was never written down. The gate existed in run-gates.mjs and its result lived only in a commit message, so there was nothing to diff a re-measurement against, which is the one job this rig has. Re-ran it against the pinned 0.149.1 binary and recorded the table. It also sharpens the finding the denylist rests on: being UNKNOWN to the CLI is not the failure mode. The 15 models that warn "Model metadata not found" are equipped with 10 tools anyway; the three that get ZERO — the whole gpt-5.6 line — are models the CLI knows perfectly well, so nothing warns and nothing errors. The loud case is fine and the silent case is broken, which is exactly backwards from what a reader would assume, and why the gate cannot be written off the warning. The `o4-mini` / `gpt-4o` controls are recorded and deliberately not acted on: a raw-protocol tool count is not proof the product path works, so widening the family allowlist stays a separate, evidence-gated change. README said "the P1-P4 gates"; there are five. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KvcLzTupsDSq1Pf9wAsGqz

to the currently active turn. Remove the per-turn handler and ensure settlement

- Line 119: Update the “Require tool approval + selected MCP servers (Codex)”
failure-mode row to qualify the refusal by transport, excluding the app-server
transport represented by codexAppServerAdapter. Keep the refusal wording for
transports that do not support host-executed tool approval, consistent with the
transport qualification used elsewhere in the table.

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-522): Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate
Do not persist the relay credential in the agent-readable filesystem.
The production launcher places sessionDataDir below workdir, so normal launches write CODEX_HOME/config.toml inside the Codex workspace. The default permission mode is danger-full-access. A prompt-injected command can read the credential and call the relay without host-tool approval.
Use an agent-inaccessible authentication mechanism and add a regression test for credential recovery and unauthorized relay calls.

Review — ship after one trivial fixReviewed against the transport plan and the seams it flagged, with the branch fetched locally. CI is green across all four test shards, build, E2E smoke, desktop package, and CodeQL. SecurityClean.
One finding (trivial, pre-merge)
The load-bearing seams, verified
VerdictApprove and merge once the stray 🤖 Review by Claude Code |
Two AI reviewers went over the branch. Most of what they raised is real; this
is the first batch, led by the one that matters most because I got it wrong in
writing.
**The approval ordering claim was backwards.** RESULTS.md said Codex sends
`item/commandExecution/requestApproval` BEFORE `item/started`, and the
translator, the approval controller and two tests all repeated it as the reason
`ensureToolCall` exists. The recorded fixtures said the opposite, and re-running
gate P2 against the pinned binary settles it: `item/started` lands FIRST, in the
same millisecond. The design is unchanged and still correct — `ensureToolCall`
is idempotent and seeds from whichever event arrives first — but the stated
reason was an artifact of reading a summary instead of the chronological log.
Every copy of the claim is corrected, and RESULTS.md records the correction
rather than quietly editing it. The protocol orders neither event, which is the
honest reason the idempotency is needed.
**A runtime artifact was committed.** `mcpjam-inspector/.harness-bridge/bridge-meta.json`
held a live PID and port from a local bridge run. Removed and ignored.
**Public docs published a feature-flag key and a gated feature.** `docs/README.md`
is explicit: everything under `docs/` is served publicly, "no feature-flag keys",
and a per-organization-gated feature "must not be documented until the flag comes
off" — with its routes "kept out of reference/openapi.json and listed in the
Inspector's KNOWN_UNDOCUMENTED baseline". The transport section and the flag name
are gone from the public page (now byte-identical to main), and
`/harness/{harnessId}/capabilities` moves from openapi.json to that baseline with
the reason written down. openapi.json is byte-identical to main again too.
Code fixes, each verified before accepting:
- `noCache` double-counted cache-write tokens. Settled against the ecosystem
rather than by assertion: `@ai-sdk/harness-claude-code` maps Anthropic's
disjoint triple straight across and reports `total` as their sum, so the
components must not overlap. Every capture reports `cacheWriteInputTokens: 0`,
which is why it would have stayed invisible until it didn't.
- A forced thread restart still fell back to `start.resumeThreadId`, resuming
the very thread it had just decided to abandon with its stale tools and
permissions.
- A respawned bridge with no fresh `auth` got no Codex credential at all; it now
falls back to the persisted `sandboxCredentialEnvironment`.
- The permissions approval answered with an array where the schema's
`RequestPermissionProfile` is `{fileSystem?, network?}`. A malformed answer
leaves Codex blocked, which is the one outcome that controller exists to
prevent. The test had pinned the wrong shape — it agreed with the code and
both were wrong about the protocol.
- A tool schema that omits a top-level `type` had its properties replaced by a
permissive stub, so the model saw a tool it could not call correctly.
- The relay buffered request bodies without bound (a steered turn could exhaust
the bridge heap) and `close()` awaited a call parked on a human approval,
hanging teardown.
- `thread/compacted` is switched on by the translator but was missing from
`USED_NOTIFICATIONS`, so the snapshot guard would not have caught a rename.
Internal doc: the Claude Code approval row still claimed MCP tools cannot pause
and the toggle cannot be switched on. `supportsMcpToolApproval` has been true
since that was measured; corrected, along with a "same lane" line that
contradicted the fingerprint fork three paragraphs below.
One finding rejected: `require.resolve` in the live test is reported as throwing
in ESM. Vitest provides `require` here — proven by a probe test and by the live
suite passing — so there is nothing to fix.
Harness + v1 route suites: 2485 passed. Live suite still green against the real
binary after regenerating the bridge bundle.

…turn The security finding on this branch is right about the fact and wrong about the remedy, and the difference matters enough to write down. **The fact.** The host-tool relay credential is readable by the agent. Codex spawns the MCP server, so the credential has to arrive through Codex's own config, and the sandbox runs everything as one uid — no file mode, path, or descriptor hides a file from a shell running as that same user. Moving it out of the workspace would change nothing. **The remedy that was claimed.** This module's own header said an unauthenticated port "would let it invoke the user's MCP tools directly, bypassing the approval gate that is the whole point of this transport". That is the part that was wrong. A relayed call is emitted as a `tool-call` with `providerExecuted: false` and then AWAITS `turn.requestToolResult`: the host runs the tool and `HarnessAgent`'s `toolApproval` fires there, before `execute`. A caller holding the credential reaches the same gate the MCP server does, cannot resolve a call itself, and every call it starts shows up in the trace as an ordinary host tool call. So the credential is defence in depth against everything that is NOT the agent. What bounds the agent is the approval gate, plus the relay exposing only the tools the user already selected for this turn — the same tools Codex can reach through the sanctioned MCP channel, which is the entire reason the relay exists. Both notes now say that, because a security control documented as doing something it cannot do is worse than one documented honestly: it invites a fix that does not exist and discourages the gate that actually works. Two ways a turn could hang instead of fail, both in the app-server client: - `child.stdin` had no `error` listener. `dead` latches from the async `exit`/`error` events, so a write can reach a pipe the child already closed — and a stream error with no listener is an uncaught exception that takes the bridge down with it. - A stdout line that would not parse called an optional `onFrameError` and otherwise did nothing. The production caller passes no such callback, so a desynchronized stream left every pending request waiting forever. The transport is strict JSONL: an unparseable line means no further response can be correlated, so the client now fails outright and rejects what is pending. Suite green (99 tests), and the live suite still passes against the real binary after rebundling the bridge.

Third batch. Four ways a session could hang or leak, one that could save a setting the runtime refuses, and the test coverage the guidelines ask for. **A wedged socket stranded the session.** `openWebSocket` settled only on `open` or `error`, so a port that accepts the TCP connection and then says nothing left the promise pending indefinitely. That is worst on the ATTACH rung — the first thing `doStart` does when it has coordinates — because its `catch` is the respawn fallback, and a `catch` cannot run for a promise that never rejects. It now takes a deadline and the caller's `abortSignal`, like every other sandbox call in `doStart` already did. **`doStop` could skip its own teardown.** `stopped` latches before the stop reply is awaited, so a timeout or a failed `channel.send` propagated out and `settleProcess()` / `channel.close()` never ran — and `doDestroy` returns early on `stopped`, so nothing could recover them. The bridge process and its socket then outlived the session on a box the detach path deliberately keeps alive. The closed-channel arm one line above already preferred a lossy payload to a throw; a timeout and a failed send are the same situation and now settle the same way. `threadId` survives either path. **A close handler accumulated per turn.** `SandboxChannel.onClose` returns no unsubscribe, so registering inside `wireTurn` retained one closure — and with it a whole turn's settlement scope — for the life of the channel, and every stale handler still ran on close. One session-level handler now routes to the active turn and is released on settlement. **`webSearch` could not change between turns.** It is written into `CODEX_HOME` by `prepareCodexHome()` and is not a `thread/start` parameter, so reusing the runtime across a change silently ran the new turn under the first turn's setting. Runtime-level config is now fingerprinted separately from turn config, and a change tears the child and relay down before the next turn. **The capability probe could enable a switch for the wrong harness.** State is set in an effect, so the first render after a harness switch still held the previous harness's answer — long enough for the Behavior tab to show approval live for Codex-on-exec and let it be saved, which the pre-flight then refuses. The hook now matches `harnessId` synchronously. The regression test was checked against the unfixed hook first: it fails there and passes here. Also: the live test imported the generated bundle at module scope, but the bundle is gitignored and produced by `pretest` while `describe.skipIf` runs after module evaluation — a direct vitest run would fail collection on a suite meant to skip. Deferred to a dynamic import inside `prepareBootstrap`. New coverage, both boundaries rather than happy paths: the guest allowlist rules for the harness metadata routes (GET-only, case-insensitive verb, empty id and six near-miss paths refused, and a project-scoped path still refused), and the capability route's missing branches — `supportsMcpToolApproval` on both delivery modes, empty id, and missing bearer. Server suites 2494 passed; client harness suites 26 passed; typecheck error count unchanged at the pre-existing 228; live suite green against the real binary after rebundling.

Final batch. The first item is a bug in a bound I added two commits ago, which
is the kind worth naming: the fix introduced a limit that did not limit what it
claimed to.
**The relay body cap counted the wrong unit.** `setEncoding("utf8")` hands the
handler strings, so `.length` is UTF-16 code units, not bytes — `"😀"` is 2 units
and 4 bytes. A body of multi-byte characters reached 2-3x the intended 8 MiB
before the check fired, which is the opposite of what a byte limit is for. Now
counted with `Buffer.byteLength`. The regression test was run against the old
code first: it fails there and passes here.
Other correctness:
- The host-tool MCP server dispatched `initialize` BEFORE inspecting the id, so
a notification got a response, and an explicit `id: null` fell through as if a
reply could be correlated to it. JSON-RPC 2.0: absent id is a notification,
`null` is a malformed request. The frame type could not even represent `null`,
which is how the case went unnoticed; it can now.
- The turn fingerprint keyed on tool NAMES, so a tool whose schema or
description changed under a fixed name left the running thread with a stale
catalog — and Codex reads its MCP tool list exactly once, at startup, so the
model would keep calling it by the old contract for the rest of the session.
Now fingerprinted over the whole descriptor, through ONE implementation in
`shared/` that the host and the bridge both import: they compute this
independently, and two hand-mirrored copies would drift on the next field.
Key order is normalized, because a spurious restart every turn would break
multi-turn resume outright — worse than the staleness being fixed.
- Alias assignment could hand two tools the same name when one tool's canonical
name was another's stripped alias, and the last write won: a call silently
routed to the wrong tool. Canonical names are now reserved before any stripped
alias is granted, which makes the collision unrepresentable.
- A failed turn emitted its error twice — once from the `error` notification and
again from `turn/completed.error`.
The rig, whose whole job is producing evidence that survives a second run:
- Re-running a gate APPENDED to its NDJSON, letting a previous run's frames into
this run's counts. Truncated per run, in both the probe client and the fake
model server.
- The `npx` fallback fetched the pinned package and then returned the bare
string `"codex"`, so the documented no-argument invocation died at spawn with
ENOENT on any machine without a global codex. It now returns the npx
invocation itself — the command we verified is the command we run.
- A spawn failure emitted `error`, never `exit`, so nothing latched and the
first request hung forever; `close()` had no SIGKILL escalation; three
fallback timers outlived their races and held the event loop open.
- The fixture recorder skipped both cleanups on a failed scenario (orphaning the
child and the listening server) and RESOLVED on timeout, writing a truncated
stream over a good fixture and exiting 0.
- `strictToolNames` validated only `functionCalls`, so a scripted
`customToolCalls` name could invent a tool the model was never given.
- `regen.sh` aborted under `pipefail` when no earlier snapshot existed, so the
first snapshot could not be generated with `--diff`.
- `diff.mjs` failed on ANY upstream removal, including the ~90 methods this
adapter never calls — noise that trains the reader to ignore the one removal
that matters. It now reads the adapter's own `USED_*` lists (rather than
keeping a second copy) and is fatal only for those. Verified both ways:
dropping `feedback/upload` exits 0, dropping `turn/start` exits 1.
Docs: a fixture the tests replay was missing from the inventory, a fence had no
language, and the bootstrap README pointed the lockfile-negation instruction at
the root `.gitignore` when the ignore lives in `mcpjam-inspector/.gitignore`.
Server suites 2511 passed; typecheck unchanged at the pre-existing 228; live
suite green against the real binary after rebundling; gates P2 and P5 still
reproduce their recorded findings.

…ent death with process death
Codex reads its MCP server's tool list once, when the PROCESS starts, and
this adapter wires no `tools/list_changed`. The runtime fingerprint keyed
only on `webSearch`, so a turn that selected a new server reused the Codex
that had booted without it: the new tools were uncallable and a removed
server stayed callable, with nothing to say so. Restarting the thread does
not help — the thread is not what holds the catalog. `runtimeConfigFingerprint`
now covers the catalog too, and lives beside the turn fingerprint so the next
field added has to be put in the right one of them.
`kill()` was gated on the same latch as the client's `dead` flag, so once a
stdin failure had killed the client it returned immediately — before the
SIGKILL it had just sent was delivered or reaped. Its callers tear a runtime
down in order to build the next one, so that left two Codex processes sharing
a CODEX_HOME and racing for the relay port. The two are now separate: `exited`
still settles as soon as the client is unusable (the turn racing it must not
wait for a corpse to fall over), while `kill()` waits for the OS to report
the child gone, with SIGTERM -> SIGKILL escalation and an outer bound.
Also:
- `asObjectSchema` stamped `type: "object"` onto every type-less schema. It
meant to rescue `{properties, required}`, but it also rewrote `{enum}`,
`{const}` and `{anyOf}` into schemas asserting the argument is an object AND
one of those, which nothing satisfies. Narrowed to schemas carrying an
object-only keyword and no declared type.
- `doStop` never throws, deliberately, but that made a stop the bridge never
acknowledged indistinguishable from a clean one. It now records which arm
ran and logs the degraded ones; the payload shape is unchanged.
- The relay's 413 is flushed before the socket is destroyed, so a refused
oversized body reaches the caller as the documented status rather than a
connection reset.
- An already-aborted signal now cancels `openWebSocket` instead of being
registered on and never fired, and the ATTACH path passes its configured
timeout instead of taking the default.
Tests: teardown against a real child process (SIGTERM escalation, the
stream-failure regression, the fast path, in-flight rejection); the runtime
fingerprint moving on a changed tool set, a changed contract under an
unchanged name, and web search, and holding still otherwise; schema
normalization in both directions; and the capability hook's soft-fail
contract on a rejected request, a non-OK response, a 200 that is not the DTO,
an empty harness id, and a failure that must not be cached.

…n reporting a later exit The live suite grew a case that runs a turn, kills Codex, and runs another. It found two bugs, one of them the reason the other stayed invisible. `ensureRuntime` returned early on `if (client)`, and nothing invalidated that client when its process died. One Codex crash therefore poisoned the session: every later turn with the same configuration rejected instantly on `thread/start`, permanently, with no way back short of destroying the session. The client now clears the runtime when it exits — guarded on identity, because `ensureRuntime`'s own teardown resolves the same promise after it has already installed a replacement. With that fixed the second turn still failed, from a different cause. `Promise.race` does not cancel the loser, so the `exited` handler installed by a turn outlives it and fires on whatever runtime exit comes next — a crash during someone else's turn, or the ordinary kill at teardown. Both emitted an error on a finished turn's handle, which the host reads as belonging to the turn that is open now. A `settled` flag keeps the loser quiet. Both are pinned by the new live case, each verified to fail on its own with the other fix in place. Also from review: - `OBJECT_ONLY_KEYWORDS` covered four keywords when JSON Schema has ten that target object instances. A schema constrained only by `minProperties` or `propertyNames` was dropped to the permissive stub, throwing the constraint away so Codex allowed calls the host would reject. - The null-id rejection in the host-tools MCP server is right, but the comment credited it to JSON-RPC 2.0, which permits a null id and merely discourages it. MCP is what forbids it; anyone porting the handler to a plain JSON-RPC peer would have been misled. - `turn-fingerprint.test.ts` had a case whose name promised a distinction between an absent and an empty description that the code deliberately does not make, and whose body tested neither. Renamed to the real contract and given assertions for it, including that the collapse does not hide a genuine description change. - The teardown tests now reap their children in `afterEach`. Two of them are deliberately hard to kill, so an assertion failing before the case's own `kill()` leaked exactly the process the file exists to prove gets cleaned up. Spike rig: - The probe client swallowed stdin errors. Codex can close stdin while staying alive, and neither `exit` nor `error` fires for that, so every pending request waited forever and the gate runner hung before cleanup. - Its `close()` waited on `exit`, but a binary that cannot be spawned emits `error` and `close` and never `exit` (verified against node) — so cleanup hung on the most likely failure of all, a wrong `--codex` path. - `diff.mjs` guarded its parse on a single total count across three exports, so one export changing shape left the other two propping the guard up while removals from the unparsed category passed silently. Each export is now named and checked, and a miss falls back to treating every removal as significant, with a warning naming which one could not be read.

Pushed A dead client was reused forever. I wrote a live case for it — run a turn, kill Codex, run another — and with the invalidation in place it still failed. Each fix is verified to fail the new live case on its own with the other in place, and the suite ran five times clean. The rest:

…-07 object constraints The live test's `childrenOf` walked direct children only, but the tree is three deep: bridge, the `codex.js` launcher the bootstrap installs, and the real codex binary under it. So the kill loop took out the launcher and left a ~258 MB codex running for the rest of the case. It did not survive the run — the bridge's pipes close at cleanup and codex exits on stdin EOF — but that is incidental rather than guaranteed, and it made the case's own premise only half true: the bridge saw its child die, while the process the test is nominally about kept running. The walk is transitive now, `killTree` takes the subtree down deepest first, and `cleanup` does the same rather than relying on the pipe closing. The assertion moved with it: the subtree must be more than one process before the kill, so the depth this depends on is pinned rather than assumed. `OBJECT_ONLY_KEYWORDS` also missed `dependencies`, draft-07's predecessor to `dependentRequired`/`dependentSchemas`. MCP tool schemas in the wild are routinely draft-07, so a schema whose only object keyword was that one fell through to the permissive stub — dropping exactly the dependent-argument constraint the list was extended to preserve.

Pushed The live test's process walk was too shallow. I confirmed the tree by dumping it from procfs mid-test: bridge → One correction to the finding's framing: it does not leak per run. I scanned procfs after ten runs and after three more with the fix — nothing survives either way, because killing the bridge closes its pipes and codex exits on stdin EOF. But that's incidental rather than guaranteed, and it made the case's own premise only half true — the bridge saw its child die while the process the test is nominally about kept running. So it's worth fixing regardless: the walk is transitive now,

Resolves one conflict in server/routes/v1/__tests__/harness.test.ts, where
both sides added a case to `describe("GET builtin-tools")` at the same anchor:
#4595 added "reports the codex catalog for the transport that is enabled" and
this branch added the `cursor` case. Both are kept — the codex transport test
stays next to its codex sibling, the cursor case follows it, and the 404 case
stays last. Main also reformatted the file to the repo's `trailingComma: "all"`
setting; that reformat is taken as-is and the merged file is prettier-clean.
Note for this branch's own change: #4595 added a second harness route,
`GET /harness/{harnessId}/capabilities`, but deliberately left it out of
openapi.json — it is flag-gated and baselined in openapi-drift's
KNOWN_UNDOCUMENTED with that reason. So the derived harnessId path-parameter
guard added here still finds exactly one documented parameter, and its
non-vacuity check still holds. Nothing to document, and documenting it would
break the drift test's stale-baseline assertion.

The PR had gone `mergeable_state: dirty` against main, which is why the last three pushes produced no CI at all: GitHub cannot compute a merge ref for a conflicted PR, so no `pull_request` workflow run is ever created. The absent conformance run was the symptom, not a workflow bug. One conflicted file, `run-harness-turn.ts`, in three places — all the same shape. main's #4595 added a `transport` dimension to the harness runtime fingerprint; this branch adds a `localTarget` one. They are independent and both belong, so both are kept. ORDER is the resolution's only real decision, because order is the hash. `transport` keeps the position main gave it and `localTarget` appends after it, so every Codex app-server session created before this merge hashes byte-identically and keeps resuming; only a local turn — which no existing session is — picks up a new dimension. Reversing them would have forked the Codex fleet on deploy, which is exactly what `HARNESS_RUNTIME_COMPAT_VERSION` exists to make deliberate rather than accidental. Verified: 597 tests across all 42 `server/utils/harness/__tests__` suites pass, including `harness-runtime-fingerprint.test.ts`, which covers the resolved function directly; 492 local-harness tests pass. (Those suites need `node scripts/bundle-codex-appserver-bridge.mjs` first — main's new generated bridge bundle is gitignored, and without it eleven suites fail to load for reasons that have nothing to do with this merge.)

Purpose and context
MCPJam's Codex host runs
@ai-sdk/harness-codex, which drivescodex exec. Every user-facing gap traces to that transport and none is fixable on it: the bridge hardcodesapprovalPolicy: "never"anddoStartrejects any permission mode butallow-all, so no Codex host can ever pause for tool approval — a host that asks for it is refused pre-flight. Only two actions are attributable (shell,web_search), and usage arrives as bare totals.This adds a second transport for the same host: an in-repo
HarnessV1adapter that speakscodex app-server, the long-lived JSON-RPC protocol the VS Code extension uses. It is off by default (MCPJAM_CODEX_APPSERVER_TRANSPORT).The approval failure was never Codex's. It was the adapter's — and that claim is now tested against the real binary rather than argued:
What changed
Preflight rig (
.spike-codex-appserver/) — the pinned 0.149.1 protocol schema with a hash manifest and a version-diff tool, a dependency-free app-server JSON-RPC client, a scripted Responses-API stand-in, and gates P1–P5. No E2B, no model spend, no egress; findings inRESULTS.md, rerunnable.A live model defect, fixed (not behind the flag). Gate P5 drove the pinned CLI through every gpt-5-family id in the hosted catalog. The
gpt-5.6line —luna,sol,terra, all three already hosted and all three passing today'sgpt-5prefix rule — is resolved by the CLI and given zero tools. The turn completes and answers from chat alone; nothing warns, nothing errors.toCodexModelnow refuses those lines, turning a silent tool-less turn into amodel-unsupportedrefusal.The matrix also inverts the intuition: the 15 models that warn "Model metadata not found" get 10 tools anyway. The loud case is fine; the silent case is broken. That is why the gate is a line denylist inside the family allowlist, not an exact-id allowlist — the hosted catalog is dynamic, and an exact list would trade a silent-bad turn for a loud-wrong one.
The adapter (
server/utils/harness/codex-appserver/) — aHarnessV1implementation plus a bundled in-sandbox bridge: JSON-RPC client over the child's stdio, an item-lifecycle → stream-part translator, an approval controller, and a stdio MCP relay that carries MCPJam's host-executed tools. Bootstrap installs the pinned@openai/codexand renders a per-sessionCODEX_HOME.Wiring — the flag, the registry arm, a transport dimension on the session fingerprint, and a
GET /v1/harness/:id/capabilitiesroute the Behavior tab reads.Before / after
codex exec(today, default)codex app-server(opt-in)shell,web_search)turn/interruptgpt-5.6modelsTwo limits worth stating plainly
MCP delivery stays host-executed on both transports. The app-server protocol has no approval request for an individual MCP
tools/call— verified against the schema, not assumed. Delivering servers natively would leave a Strict-mode host unable to gate one, so native delivery's blocker is approvals, not callability. No backend change is needed as a result; the delivery mirror is untouched.Manual compaction throws rather than no-ops.
codex app-serverexposesthread/compact/start, but the shared bridge runtime routes inbound frames through a fixed switch with no default branch, so a custom command would be silently dropped. An honestHarnessCapabilityUnsupportedErrorbeats a frame that looks like it worked. Codex's automatic compaction is unaffected and surfaces as acompactionpart.Session continuity
The runtime fingerprint gains a transport dimension, appended only when set and not
"exec". Every existing session — Codex, Claude Code and Cursor alike — hashes byte-identically to before and keeps resuming; an unconditional append would have cold-started the whole fleet on deploy. Flipping the flag forks the lane (a conversation started on one protocol has no thread the other can resume); flipping back returns users to the sessions they had.Validation
npm run test -w @mcpjam/inspector— 21,611 passed. The two failures the first full run surfaced were both this branch's new route missing from the SDK-coverage and openapi-drift maps; both are now registered and all four route-parity suites pass.npm run build:inspector— clean; the bridge bundle reachesdist/server/index.js, so the new bundle step is wired throughpredev/build/pretestand the Dockerfile chain.typecheck:client— clean.Platform note carried in the test file: approval semantics ride the sandbox implementation (bubblewrap on Linux, seatbelt on macOS). These ran on Linux, which is what E2B runs; Strict-mode behaviour should not be certified from a Mac.
Rollout
Off by default, so merging changes nothing. Next: enable for the
codex-host-enabledcohort, run the credentialed E2B pass (the open items are listed inRESULTS.md— native MCP callability with a real model,workspace-writeon the E2B kernel, 2 GB bootstrap headroom, port-endpoint plumbing), then flip the default once parity holds through the product UI.codex execstays as the fallback and regression baseline for one release.Linked issues
None.

Note
Medium Risk
New sandbox-facing harness path and approval semantics affect agent execution when the flag is on; gpt-5.6 denial changes model admission for all Codex hosts. Default-off rollout limits blast radius.
Overview
Introduces an opt-in Codex transport (
MCPJAM_CODEX_APPSERVER_TRANSPORT) that speakscodex app-serverJSON-RPC instead ofcodex exec, so Strict hosts can pause for command/patch approval, honor denials, interrupt turns, and surface richer usage and tool attribution. The shipped adapter lives underserver/utils/harness/codex-appserver/(bridge bundle, translator, approval controller, MCP relay); session fingerprints gain a transport dimension only when not onexec.Adds
.spike-codex-appserver/— pinned protocol schema, deterministic fake Responses API, gates P1–P5, andRESULTS.md— as a non-shipping probe rig and fixture recorder, plus.gitignoreentries for generated bootstrap bundles.Product fix (both transports):

Wiring includes harness registry, capabilities route, build/Docker bundle steps, and tests.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 586fead. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo.
