🟡 Changes recommended
The new CLI outcome and summary counting logic can misclassify “unverified install” scenarios and over-count failures, affecting exit codes and reported totals.

What changed in this PR
This PR improves Codex runtime reliability by adding read-only inspection of Codex plugin state and introducing explicit repair flows to recover missing registrations while preserving intentional runtime disablement.
Changes:
- Add Codex “detailed inspection” (
inspectPlugins) and surfaceruntimeMissing/runtimeDisabledin status (including--json). - Implement scoped Codex registration repair (dependency-ordered, verification-aware) used by
enableandupdate --repair, plus verification wiring insync. - Improve runtime operation reporting (failures, unverified installs) and add regression/integration tests + documentation updates.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| test/plugins-update.test.ts | Adjusts temp-dir cleanup assertion to ignore unrelated system-created files. |
| test/codex-sandbox.test.mjs | Adds Codex availability gating and end-to-end assertions for read-only status + repair behavior. |
| test/codex-repair.test.ts | Adds unit/regression coverage for inspection parsing, repair planning, verification, and dependency behavior. |
| src/render/plugins.ts | Renders per-agent failures, verified vs unverified installs, and preserved runtime-disablement in CLI output. |
| src/commands/sync.ts | Adds optional Codex post-sync verification and propagates failures into sync results. |
| src/commands/status.ts | Switches Codex status to use detailed inspection when available and exposes runtime deltas. |
| src/commands/state.ts | Reuses shared dependency ordering and triggers Codex repair on enable when supported. |
| src/commands/runtime-repair.ts | Introduces registration diffing, planning, execution, and verification for Codex repair flows. |
| src/commands/marketplace.ts | Adds --repair support to update, defers Codex mutations, and merges repair results. |
| src/commands/link.ts | Propagates runtime failures from link operations for CLI reporting/outcomes. |
| src/commands/install.ts | Preserves and aggregates agent failure details when activating installed plugins. |
| src/commands/dependency-order.ts | Adds shared lock traversal with cycle detection for consistent dependency ordering. |
| src/cli/index.ts | Introduces --repair flag for plugins update and documents its intent in help/examples. |
| src/cli/handlers.ts | Plumbs new repair flag, prints runtime failures, and uses outcomes for add/link/sync/enable flows. |
| src/agents/types.ts | Adds inspection and failure types (AgentPluginRecord, AgentInspectionResult, AgentOperationFailure). |
| src/agents/codex.ts | Implements detailed Codex inspection, improves marketplace sync diagnostics, and returns per-plugin failures. |
| docs/local-plugin-registration.md | Documents Codex registration recovery semantics, status fields, and repair behavior. |
| docs/cli-json.md | Notes new optional Codex status fields in --json output. |

- Around line 61-75: Update `syncMarketplace` so failures while creating or
writing the explicit-store discovery export are caught, reported through `warn`,
and return `false`. This lets activation report marketplace sync failure instead
of propagating the filesystem exception.

Problem and behavior
An ADG plugin can remain enabled in the store while its Codex registration is missing. Repeating
enablepreviously did nothing, and an unchanged upstreamupdatecould not restore it. Runtime installation failures also lacked a complete command-level result.Add detailed, read-only Codex inspection and explicit registration recovery:
status --jsonretains existing fields and addsruntimeMissing/runtimeDisabled.enablerestores missing or disabled Codex registrations and verifies them.update --repairobserves Codex before updating sources, defers its runtime mutations, then refreshes changed enabled plugins and restores missing registrations. Runtime disablement is preserved even when source contents change; ordinary update behavior is unchanged.Keep the existing store, lock format, manifest adapters, and runtime CLI boundaries. Inspection is optional for third-party agents. Share dependency traversal between enable/recovery and verification between recovery/sync. No account switching, background service, authentication edits, or production configuration migration is introduced.
Validation
npm ci,npm run typecheck,npm run build,npm test.npm run test:codex-sandbox,npm run check:docs,npm run check:test-isolation,git diff --check.Boundaries and review notes
Official Codex account switching is an unconfirmed trigger for registration loss. This PR implements local registration diagnosis and recovery; it does not claim to fix account switching. Existing desktop conversations may need a restart/new conversation to refresh skill discovery.
Explicit directory stores now expose a supported nested marketplace discovery manifest; the integration test exposed the previously swallowed registration error. The temporary-directory cleanup assertion excludes unrelated system-created files while still checking ADG checkout removal.
This is an independent PR against develop. The shared inspection/result contract, recovery orchestration, and CLI propagation form one cohesive behavior change; keeping them together avoids intermediate versions that either mutate before inspection or report unverified recovery as success. Release/CI configuration and lockfiles are unchanged.
