codexclaw v0.2.33

[0.2.33] - 2026-09-20

A dispatched lane may now run its own loop, and the packet that says so is checkable.

Added

• cxc-loop gains references/lane-dispatch.md: the packet a coordinator hands a lane,
  the separate merge grant, and the measured host envelope. LANE-LOOP-AUTH-01 — a leaf
  never opens a goal, a dispatched task owns one and loops when its packet grants the
  objective, criteria and completion condition. LANE-PACKET-01 — the create_thread
  prompt is the entire channel, so a packet carries scope, base, branch, authority and
  reporting. LANE-MERGE-GRANT-01 — merge is a separate sentence and may only land the
  lane's own branch.
• scripts/check-lane-packet.mjs decides those cases instead of asserting prose: a loop
  without criteria, a merge without its grant, a merge naming another lane's branch, a
  provisional id used as an address, push/PR authority, and write scopes that overlap
  across a packet set after . and .. are normalized. Packets have declared
  dispatch and bound modes, because a packet cannot carry an address that creation
  has not returned yet.
• scripts/check-host-bounds.mjs plus test/fixtures/host-thread-bounds.json record the
  measured surface — wait_threads 1-8 targets and 0-120000 ms, read_thread 1-10 turns
  and 0-20000 chars, list_threads 1-50, get_handoff_status 0-60000 ms, worktree
  retention 15, the default six-subagent session cap — and re-derive each from app.asar
  and the codex-rs sources. An absent artifact reports NOT RUN and never PASS.
• dispatch-surfaces.md gains DISPATCH-FANOUT-CAP-01: branches are the cheap axis — no
  host-wide task cap was found — while subagents fail outright past six per session.

Changed

• cxc-loop scopes its leaf rule to leaves and states the lane case positively. The old
  wording read as universal and left a dispatched task with no permission to run its own
  cycle, which is why one session did all the looping.

Known limitations

• The validator enforces packets; it does not police the skill text. Deleting the prose
  authorization fails no test, and closing that would mean enforcing the packet at the
  orchestration boundary.
• Measured absences are recorded as absences: no cap was found on referenced tasks and no
  model-visible resolver was found for a queued lane's clientThreadId (#209).
