v0.2.0 — External Repository Support & Delegated Recovery

v0.2.0

Experimental pre-1.0 checkpoint.

Highlights

• External repository support: locally link the Bridge and use it from Codex or Claude Code projects without copying the Bridge source tree into the managed repository.
• claude-codex-bridge local executable with the managed workspace separated from the Bridge installation location.
• Manager-authorized delegated recovery: a manager can request strict recovery of its direct delegated child while ownership, runtime identity, leases, telemetry, and execution-handle confirmation remain worker-owned.
• Portable project configuration examples for both Codex and Claude Code.
• Manually maintained delegation routing policy with stronger substantial-task delegation checkpoints.
• Deterministic skill-mirror synchronization and external-workspace regression coverage.

Recovery behavior

bridge_resume_task remains owner-only.

bridge_resume_delegated_task lets the direct parent manager request recovery of its delegated child without impersonating or taking ownership of the worker.

Strict recovery preserves:

• task identity;
• run/parent/depth lineage;
• worker ownership;
• persisted runtime session;
• adjacent attempt history;
• worker-held leases;
• worker telemetry identity.

External projects

After building and locally linking the Bridge:

npm link

external repositories can configure the linked claude-codex-bridge command.

The external project becomes the coordination and worker workspace, including its local .bridge/bridge.db.

Delegation policy

The using-bridge skill now evaluates useful bounded delegation more actively for substantial work.

Routing guidance is manually maintained. Ordinary tasks do not automatically run benchmarks, search model rankings, or route according to quota percentages.

Known limitations

• Experimental and pre-1.0.
• Not production-certified.
• No controlled benchmark claim of Claude/Codex superiority.
• No token or economic savings claim.
• Custom MCP SDK wrappers must set a request timeout long enough for bounded delegated work; the SDK default may otherwise stop waiting before the Bridge task deadline.
