Closes #5975.

On a systemd-managed Linux hub, the live proxy can correctly report Startup Safety as protected while a shell-launched ocx status reports at-risk because the shell does not inherit the service-manager environment.

This change reuses the existing PID/port-bound local management capability to read /api/startup-health from the already identity-verified live proxy. If the bounded attested read is unavailable or malformed, status falls back to the existing local service diagnostic.

The live DTO is shape-validated before use. No reusable management credential is copied into the CLI.

Validation on current dev:

  • status + hub-state + doctor focused suites: 110 pass / 0 fail / 374 assertions
  • bun x tsc --noEmit: PASS
  • live affected hub reconciles to protected, rebootSafe=true, serviceViable=true, serviceRunning=true, protection=service

A combined integration tree completed the repository suite successfully with --parallel=2; the default --parallel=4 run produced only 10 cli-help.test.ts spawn timeouts under load, and that file passed 17/17 when rerun in isolation.

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Status now uses health information from the live service when available, providing a clearer view of its protection and readiness.
    • A viable live service is reported as running under the managed service. If an installed service has no live proxy, the existing warning remains.
    • If live health information is unavailable or invalid, status falls back to local diagnostics.
    • Doctor now uses live health information for Codex restart-safety checks when available, with local diagnostics as a fallback.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CLI lifecycle guidance to explain live-first health checks and how to investigate differences from local diagnostics.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now reads startup health from an identity-verified live proxy. Status and doctor use a valid live report for diagnostics and fall back to local startup-health collection when the report is unavailable or malformed.

Changes

Live startup health

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read and validate live startup health
src/cli/status.ts, tests/cli/cli-status-startup-health.test.ts
The status module reads startup health through the bound local management client, with a 1.5-second default timeout. It returns null for failed reads, invalid payloads, and unavailable runtime attestation. Tests cover valid and malformed reports.
Use live health in status and doctor
src/cli/status.ts, src/cli/doctor.ts, tests/cli/cli-status-startup-health.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md
collectStatus and runDoctor use available live startup health and defer local collection to the fallback path. Service summaries reflect the live report or, without one, the local service diagnostics. The lifecycle documentation describes this live-first behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8d00a

Malformed live health falls back to local diagnostics, and a negative live verdict no longer appears alongside a healthy local service summary. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8d00a

The change improves diagnostics when the shell cannot see the service manager’s environment, but a successful-looking response from a listener at the proxy port can override the local safety assessment. The affected commands report health and advice; they do not themselves change service configuration.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A shape-valid reply at the probed port can become the authoritative startup-safety verdict without proof that the verified proxy produced that reply. A listener substituted after discovery could falsely report protection and supply recommendation text shown to the user.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A substituted listener’s immediate reach is the invoking CLI’s startup verdict, service summary and doctor guidance. The examined GET path does not itself install, repair or reconfigure a service; harm beyond misleading diagnostics would require a user or downstream consumer to act on them.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If an attacker can substitute a listener at the recorded port during discovery or the subsequent read, its shape-valid response can be displayed as a protected startup verdict. Recommendation strings are checked for type, not provenance or display-safe content, and can enter status and doctor advice.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The real server requires management authorization for API requests and verifies a PID-, port-, path- and expiry-bound local read capability with replay protection. This limits unauthorized use of the route, but a different listener need not pass the server’s gate to send its own HTTP reply.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failure and malformed-body handling contain ordinary outages, but do not distinguish a credible, false DTO from a genuine service report.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Authenticate the startup-health response to the expected proxy, rather than relying on request authorization and DTO shape alone; also constrain or escape recommendation text before presenting it as CLI advice.

리뷰 · 우선순위 56 / 80

리눅스에서 systemd가 프록시를 켜 두면, 그 프로세스 안에서는 시작 안전이 protected입니다. 같은 컴퓨터의 보통 셸에서 ocx status를 치면 at-risk로 나왔습니다. 셸이 서비스 환경을 물려받지 못해서, systemd를 못 찾은 것처럼 계산했기 때문입니다.

이 PR은 이미 그 프로세스라고 확인된 살아 있는 프록시에게 시작 건강을 다시 물어봅니다. 답이 검사에 맞으면 그 결과를 상태에 씁니다. 답이 없거나 깨지면 예전처럼 이 셸에서 다시 계산합니다. 관리용 비밀은 CLI로 복사하지 않습니다. 바탕 브랜치는 dev입니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 변경은 아닙니다.

라인 - src/cli/status.ts 263줄. 상태, 보호 방식, 라우팅, 심 범위, 불리언만 보고 StartupHealth로 반환합니다. commands가 없고 recommendedCommand가 문자열이 아니어도 통과합니다. 살아 있는 답이 at-risk이면 src/codex/autostart-health.ts 190줄이 health.commands.restoreNative를 읽습니다. 그때 ocx status는 예외로 끝납니다. 로컬 진단은 실행되지 않습니다. 이번 버그의 정상 답은 protected라서 190줄까지 가지 않습니다. routingAdoption.staleClients가 배열이 아니면 203줄의 map도 예외가 됩니다.

라인 - src/cli/doctor.ts 1357줄. ocx doctor는 이 셸의 collectStartupHealth만 사용합니다. ocx status만 라이브 답을 사용합니다. 이 PR이 다루는 그 컴퓨터에서 status는 protected, doctor는 at-risk가 됩니다.

라인 - tests/cli/cli-status-startup-health.test.ts 63줄. 테스트 이름은 셸 진단과 라이브 답이 다를 때 라이브를 고른다고 적혀 있습니다. 본문은 fetchLiveStartupHealth만 부릅니다. collectStatus가 json.startup과 json.service.summary를 고르는 코드는 검증되지 않습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

ocx doctor도 같은 라이브 답을 쓸지 정하면 됩니다. 이슈 #5975는 요약란과 재현란이 비어서 품질 봇이 not_planned로 이미 닫았습니다. 이 PR의 Closes #5975는 그 이슈를 다시 열지 않습니다. PR은 아직 초안이고, 준비 체크리스트 네 칸이 비어 있습니다.

너의 추천

살아 있는 프록시의 답을 믿는 방향은 맞습니다. commands, recommendedCommand, routingAdoption이 이상하면 그 답을 버리고 로컬 진단으로 돌아가게 한 뒤에 합치면 됩니다. collectStatus가 라이브를 고르고, 라이브가 없으면 로컬을 고르는 테스트가 필요합니다. doctor를 같은 기준으로 맞출지는 위의 판단에 따르면 됩니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할 때문에 이 PR을 닫을 이유는 없습니다.

Six focused fixes from the assigned bug batch remain as separate attributed commits.

| PR | Change | Author |
| --- | --- | --- |
| #5969 | Preserve Meta Muse tool-choice semantics and reject unsupported selectors before dispatch. | shawnkim |
| #5944 | Remove unsupported hosted web-search declarations for Xiaomi MiMo destinations. | codingbo |
| #5938 | Restart the Windows service child after unexpected exits, including exit 0, while reserving the intentional stay-out code. | codingbo |
| #5935 | Reject Claude message-thread state on translated routes so the client resends full history. | kaladinhonor |
| #5939 | Rewrite standalone `\\0` escapes in Meta tool-schema patterns to equivalent `\\x00`. | boblob6969 |
| #5951 | Preserve Kiro-reported credits across stream attempts and in the usage ledger. | codingbo |

A separate integration commit keeps upstream-controlled Kiro event-type text out of opt-in debug logs. The Kiro stream retains the previously landed bounded HTTP-error text when combined with credit metering.

Left out: #5977. Independent security review found that its local read capability authenticates the request but not the HTTP response. A substituted listener could return a shape-valid forged `protected` verdict. A correct server proof bound to the nonce, endpoint, and body is outside this batch. Both its source commit and status-validation follow-up were reverted in new commits; its test and layout entries are gone. The source PR remains open.

Maintainer sponsorship added after exact-head source review found no new correctness defect in the health-attestation boundary. This starts executable CI; it is not merge approval. I will make the final review decision from the resulting exact-head checks.

Approved on exact head 8d00a768 after source review. The PID/port/path-bound capability, nested DTO validation, negative verdict handling, and local fallback preserve the diagnostic trust boundary. React Doctor is green; merge remains conditional on the queued exact-head Cross-platform CI completing successfully.

The exact-head failed-only rerun (run 36265735380, attempt 3) passed. The prior shard timeout had already shown every file passing alone; the successful rerun clears that transient CI blocker. Existing approval on 8d00a7683f remains valid.

Owner

Landed on dev in #6069 (merge 429f4e0175) as one squashed commit that keeps your authorship. A follow-up commit (6341da9847) closes the hold from round 2. The server signs each local-read response over the request nonce, and ocx status accepts the live verdict only with that proof. Thank you. Closing because this repository merges into dev, so GitHub does not close carried PRs automatically.

Follow-up to lidge-jun#5977, closing the hold that kept it out of round 2. The local-read capability authenticates the request, but the client trusted the answer on shape alone, so a process that took the port could supply a protected verdict. The server now signs each local-read response with the attestation proof over the request nonce, PID and port, fetchBoundLocalManagementRead verifies it when a caller opts in, and ocx status opts in. Tests cover the signed server response and unsigned, wrong-nonce and wrong-secret answers.
