Stacked on #2136 (WS1a, bb/ws1a-assembler-testing-kit-stack-on-2124-thr_jkbj56vr97), itself stacked on the contract #2124. Landing order: contract → WS1a → this → WS2a → #2121 → codex → claude.

Why stacked, not independent. @bb/provider-parity and the three bridge.recorded-conformance.test.ts files import createBridgeDeltaEventCollector, which lives at @bb/agent-runtime/test/bridge-delta-assembly on main and at @bb/provider-bridge-protocol/testing on WS1a. No ordering of two independent PRs yields a buildable main, so this PR follows the move (and drops provider-parity's @bb/agent-runtime dependency). The recorded bridge→runtime lanes are grammar v2, which WS1a's v3-only assembler refuses, so every replayable cell now also carries a bridge→runtime.current.ndjson written by pnpm --filter @bb/provider-parity rerecord --plan-with <main checkout> through this branch's bridges; they assemble to the unchanged pins in row-counts.json. The 10 pi cells (in-process SDK, not replayable) keep their pins and are reported, not failed.

Do not merge. Coordinator reviews, Sawyer merges the stack.

What was wrong

The provider-plugin migration will break byte-equivalence with today's translators on purpose, which removes the regression oracle the goldens provide. Calibration sessions are scripted fakes and the integration suite runs a fake adapter, so nothing checks a bridge against what the provider CLIs really emit across the behavior matrix. Design: "Regression confidence" (A2, A3) and "Corpus" in the ideal-state provider API spec. No bridge may migrate before this lands.

What changed

Bridge record mode (BB_PROVIDER_BRIDGE_RECORD_DIR, off by default, additive)

  • bridge-worker-entry.ts tees both sides of the runtime wire for every bridge, first- or third-party, before the bridge module loads.
  • Bridges tee their provider child with experimental_recordProviderChildIo(child, { threadId }) (codex app-server-connection.ts, acp agent-connection.ts). Claude's pipe belongs to the Agent SDK, so sdk-session.ts takes the SDK's spawnClaudeCodeProcess seam over when experimental_isProviderBridgeRecording(). Pi runs in-process and records its SDK event boundary (AgentSessionEvent in, prompt/abort/compact out).
  • Layout <dir>/<providerId>/<threadId>/<direction>.ndjson (_process for lines that belong to no thread); one {ts, run, seq, dir, line} per line, appended per line, never buffered. Responses land in the scope of the request they answer. run identifies the bridge process so a thread served by several processes merges back in order.
  • The daemon forwards the variable from its own env (not the shell env, which doubles as the agent's shell environment); the runtime appends the provider id. withoutBridgeRuntimeEnv and the existing BB_* allowlist both strip it from provider children.
  • Docs: docs/provider-bridge-protocol.md ("Record mode"), docs/debugging-and-qa.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/api_to_audit.md (both new experimental_ SDK members).

Recordings — 52 redacted cells under packages/provider-bridge-protocol/recordings/<provider>/<cell>/ with a manifest.json each (provider, cell, CLI version, date, description, lane line counts). scripts/provider-recordings/redact.mjs rewrites paths under $HOME, emails, ls -l owner columns, token shapes (bbde_, ghp_, github_pat_, sk-, sk-ant-, xox?-, bbcm_, JWTs, bearer values, Authorization headers), secret-shaped env keys, collapses Claude's system/init and control_response catalogs to names, and trims strings over 2,000 chars to head/tail with a marker. It is idempotent and exits 3 if any pattern survives. package-cells.mjs cuts the raw per-thread recordings into cells. Raw recordings stay in ~/.bb/provider-recordings/raw (gitignored).

Parity harness (A2)

  • @bb/provider-bridge-protocol/testing/parity: replayRecording drives the recorded runtime→bridge lane into a bridge process and replay-provider-child.mjs plays the provider lanes back as the bridge's child — the recording is the script. The child gates each recorded provider line on the live bridge's own writes (method/subtype for requests, id for responses), maps bridge-minted ids to recorded ones, cuts the lanes into one segment per spawned child, paces spontaneous lines behind the harness's cursor so steers and interrupts land between the same two provider lines they did live, and never hangs a divergent bridge (stall → generic answer, logged). Serves JSON-RPC (codex, ACP) and the Claude CLI control protocol. Each replay runs in its own temp workspace and (for Claude) its own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, with a seeded source transcript per recorded thread/fork, so recordings replay on any machine.
  • compareParity(old, new, allowlist) diffs normalized events (the resurrected diffCalibrationStreams, #2140 had removed it), normalized rows, and grammar drops. Allowlist entries are {provider|"*", cell|"*", layer, path (JSON pointer with */**), pr, reason}; an entry that masks nothing is reported stale and fails.
  • @bb/provider-parity wires the real delta assembler and @bb/thread-view projection (mirroring timeline.ts), owns pnpm parity --old <checkout> --new . [--provider] [--cell] [--dump-dir], and loads each leg's assembler and projector from that leg's own checkout (its @bb/provider-parity, else the collector at its pre/post-WS1a home), so a main --old leg assembles with main's assembler.
  • parity.self.test.ts (CI): every cell assembles to the counts pinned in recordings/row-counts.json (events, rows; provider/unhandled and grammar drops may only go down — G11), every allowlist entry names a PR, reason, and pointer (staleness is judged by pnpm parity --old <main>, which an old==new replay cannot), and every replayable cell replays through the current bridge with zero event/row/grammar diffs and zero stalls. UPDATE_PARITY_ROW_COUNTS=1 rewrites the pins deliberately.

Current bridge lanes (merged from #2177, reviewed as harness owner) — a recording is never rewritten. When a bridge change alters what the bridge emits, pnpm --filter @bb/provider-parity rerecord [--plan-with <recording-time checkout>] writes bridge→runtime.current.ndjson beside the recorded lane; the self-suite and recorded conformance pin/compare against it when present, and pnpm parity paces the old leg from the recorded lane and the new leg from the current one. Also from #2177: pnpm parity --dump-dir, a 300 ms drain before each replayed runtime request and a 50 ms gap after a replayed response (the steer-ack position race seen twice in CI). Two follow-ups on top: the harness's own initialize response is kept out of re-recorded lanes, and re-recorded lanes pass through redact.mjs before they are written (a bridge error can quote the replay child's command line). 39 current lanes are committed (every replayable cell) — see "Why stacked" above.

ConformancecheckRecordedCellReplay + replayRecordedCells add the recorded-traffic scenario set (recorded/<cell>/{replays, events-schema-valid, grammar, turn-lifecycle, not-empty}); each first-party bridge gets bridge.recorded-conformance.test.ts over turn, steer, stop, approval allow/deny, question, resume, fork.

No translation behavior change. No wire change; HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION is untouched.

How you verified

On the stacked head 39066e19b (WS1a base), one Turbo invocation at a time at --concurrency 4: typecheck 12/12 tasks (protocol, parity, agent-runtime, host-daemon, plugin-sdk, codex, claude-code, acp); tests — protocol 218, codex 173, claude-code 262, acp 182 (each bridge.recorded-conformance.test.ts green), parity self-suite 43/43 with row-counts.json untouched; pnpm parity --old . --new . 39 passed / 0 failed / 13 skipped; pnpm rerecord --plan-with /home/sawyer/projects/bb 39 OK / 0 STALL; redaction sweep over recordings + current lanes 0 survivors, idempotent.

Earlier, on the main-based head 0923c1c59 (after merging #2177): CI green (Checks, Package Smoke ×2, Tests app-1/2/3, integration, packages, server); 21/21 Turbo tasks, 1,848 tests (protocol 101, parity 43, agent-runtime 418, host-daemon 552, plugin-sdk 117, codex 173, claude-code 262, acp 182); the steer/stop-interrupt cells stable across 3 repeated runs. New tests in this PR: recorder routing/tee/oversize, worker-entry record tee, withoutBridgeRuntimeEnv strips the knob, daemon forwards it to bridge processes but not the shell env, the 43-test parity self-suite, three recorded-conformance suites.

An earlier CI run on main failed in packages because ACP and Claude replays depended on the recording machine (cwd, ~/.claude transcripts for forkSession, PATH); reproduced locally with the directory moved away and a bare HOME, fixed as described above.

Matrix (codex-cli 0.149.0, Claude Code 2.1.238 / Agent SDK 0.3.197, cursor-agent 2026.08.11, pi @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent 0.84.0, recorded 2026-08-21 through scripts/bb-dev-app + the bb CLI):

Redaction sweep (node scripts/provider-recordings/redact.mjs packages/provider-bridge-protocol/recordings /tmp/redact-stack):

redacted 241 recording files into /tmp/redact-stack (home=/home/sawyer → /home/user); 0 survivors

diff -rq between the committed fixtures (recordings + current lanes) and that output is empty (idempotent). The only remaining occurrence of the username is the public skill name bb-global-skills:sawyer-voice in Claude's advertised skill catalog.

Parity self-run (pnpm parity --old . --new .): 39 passed, 0 failed, 13 skipped (52 cells) — the 13 skips are the 3 process-scoped model-list cells (no thread events) and the 10 pi cells (in-process SDK, no child to replay; still pinned and assembled by the self-suite). Every PASS line reports identical old/new counts, e.g. codex/steer: old 87 events/3 rows, new 87 events/3 rows, unhandled 0→0, grammar drops 0→0. The cross-checkout path was exercised too: --old /home/sawyer/projects/bb (on main, no provider-parity package) loaded that checkout's @bb/agent-runtime collector and bridge and matched on all 16 codex thread cells.

Sizes: recordings 6.9 MB total including the 39 current lanes (6.2 MB without) — codex 1.6 MB, claude-code 1.2 MB, acp-cursor 932 KB, pi 2.5 MB recorded; largest cell pi/turn-tools 828 KB.

Fixes none (step-0 PR of the provider-plugin migration).

Coordinator review — APPROVE (pending CI green on 2c424960d; SlopCop disabled, this review is the gate).

This is the regression oracle the whole migration depends on (A2/A3), and it's built right:

  • Record mode is airtight off-by-default. getBridgeRecorder() returns null unless BB_PROVIDER_BRIDGE_RECORD_DIR is set and non-blank (resolved once); the entire stdout intercept in bridge-worker-entry.ts sits inside if (recorder !== null). Zero behavior when unset. ✔
  • The env var cannot leak into the agent. bridge-runtime-env.ts deletes PROVIDER_BRIDGE_RECORD_DIR_ENV from the child env alongside the existing ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE strip. ✔
  • Redaction fails loudly. redact.mjs refuses an empty home dir and process.exit(3) on any survivor ("SECRETS STILL PRESENT — refusing to continue"). My independent grep of the committed fixtures for home paths, sk- keys, bbde_ codes, and JWT shapes found zero hits. Fixtures total 5.6 MB, under the 15 MB budget. ✔
  • Matrix coverage is real, not scripted. Codex 17 cells, Claude 14, ACP/Cursor 11, pi 10 — including the hard failure cells I asked for: Codex archived-resume, auth-failure, empty-rollout, missing-rollout; Claude auth-failure, plan-mode. Those are the exact scenarios behind the runtime's codex regexes, so WS4 now has genuine fixtures to delete them against.
  • Parity harness: each leg loads its own assembler/projector from its checkout (cross-checkout verified), and the --new leg already knows WS1a's relocated assembler — WS1b can run --old main --new <bridge-branch> immediately. Self-run 39/39 pass, 0 fail, 13 skipped (documented: 3 process-scoped, 10 pi in-process).
  • Good catch on the CI-only failure (replays depended on the recording machine's cwd/HOME/Claude transcript) — per-replay workspace + CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR + seeded fork transcript is the correct fix, and it's the kind of hermeticity the kit needs to be publishable.
  • Local: 21/21 turbo tasks, 1,848 tests green at --concurrency 4.

The recorded cwd and the Claude source transcript belong to the recording

Harness fixes found while stacking the codex bridge migration (#2164) on
WS1a's v3-only assembler. None of them changes a recording; all are safe on
this branch (self-suite 43/43, codex/claude/acp recorded conformance green).

- A recording is never rewritten. `pnpm rerecord [--plan-with <checkout>]`
  writes the current bridge's side of the wire to
  bridge→runtime.current.ndjson beside the recorded lane (request ids kept
  by method and order so the recorded runtime responses still match; lines
  placed after the runtime entry sent last before them). The self-suite and
  recorded conformance pin and compare against the current lane when one
  exists; `pnpm parity` paces a pre-migration leg from the recorded lane
  and the current leg from the current lane (`planFromCurrentLane`), so
  each assembler plans from a lane it parses whole. `--plan-with` names a
  checkout whose assembler parses the recorded lane for the re-recording
  itself.
- `pnpm parity --dump-dir <dir>` writes both legs' normalized event and row
  lists per cell, for allowlist entries that must name a list index (the
  CLI renders values truncated to 160 chars).
- The replay drains the pre-request stream (300 ms quiet once the gates are
  met) before sending each runtime request, and the replay child leaves a
  50 ms gap after a response line: a steer's ack follows an `await` on the
  bridge's own request, and on a loaded runner the next notification
  otherwise lands in the same read and the ack moves one position (two CI
  flakes on #2164).
- The self-suite holds allowlist entries to their form (PR, reason, path)
  instead of requiring an empty list, which a migration PR cannot satisfy;
  a non-replayable provider whose recorded lane predates the grammar is
  reported, not failed, until re-recorded live.

…le ProviderInfo (#2148)

> **Stacked on #2153 (recordings + parity harness) ← #2136 (WS1a) ←
#2124 (contract)** — re-stacked linearly at the coordinator's request so
the full stack merges conflict-free. Base: `bb/provider-recordings`. DO
NOT MERGE — coordinator review.

## What was wrong

Provider facts lived in core tables keyed by provider id, and the shared
server↔daemon execution contract carried Claude/Codex-named knobs:

- `PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER`, `RESERVED_PROVIDER_ID_OWNERS`,
`PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER_ID` in the server registry.
- Five `codex*`/`claudeCode*` keys on the shared `AppSettings`, resolved
in `thread-commands.ts` by `providerId === …`.
- `claudeCodePermissionMode`, `workflowsEnabled`, `memoryEnabled`,
`providerSubagentsEnabled` on `RuntimeThreadExecutionOptions` (the G2
allowlist entry), plus a `providerId !== "claude-code"` guard in the
runtime.
- Three copies of the Claude model catalog (plugin, server, app) and a
vendored `PLACEHOLDER_PROVIDER_INFOS` roster in the app; sign-in hints,
install URLs, brand prefixes and plan-mode copy in per-provider tables
on web and mobile.
- The contract PR added the additive declaration / `ProviderInfo`
fields; nothing populated or consumed them (G10 gaps: `family`,
`models`, `env`, `deriveProviderOptions`, `promptMode`).

## What changed

Spec: `WS2a-registry.md` layers 1–7 (docs/provider-plugin-api.md §1,
§6).

**L1 — `bb.providers.register` + single `ProviderInfo`.** New
`bb.providers` namespace on `BbPluginApi`;
`bb.agents.experimental_registerProvider` stays as an alias sharing the
same registration table (additive-then-delete: both work; the four
first-party `server.ts` files moved to the new call).
`buildPluginProviderRegistration` now projects `strings`,
`reasoningLevels` (declared options, or the coarse ladder labelled),
`serviceTiers` (declared, or `default`/`fast` when
`supportsServiceTier`), `extensionKinds` namespaced by the **owning
plugin id**, and `family`. New declaration fields, validated in the
shared host policy: `experimental_family`,
`experimental_models.fallback`, `experimental_env.passthrough`,
`experimental_deriveProviderOptions`.

**L2 — options hook + `promptMode`.** The server runs the owning
plugin's `experimental_deriveProviderOptions(ctx)` on every session/turn
command (`ctx = { threadId, projectId, model, permissionMode,
promptMode?, settings }`, `settings` = the plugin's own non-secret
`bb.settings` values, read synchronously) and sends the bounded-JSON
result as a REQUIRED `options.providerOptions`. `promptMode: "plan"` is
set only when the prompt carries the provider's *declared* `plan`
composer command (Pi never sees it). `claudeCodePermissionMode` + the
three booleans are deleted from `runtimeThreadExecutionOptionsSchema`,
`ProviderExecutionContext`, and the runtime's literal-id guard; the
bridge adapter merges the bag over the static bridge options instead of
rest-sweeping "provider-flavored" fields. `bridgeExecutionOptionsSchema`
gains `promptMode`. The Claude plugin maps `promptMode` to its native
plan flag inside its own bag; the Claude/Codex bridges already read
their knobs from the bag, so no bridge code changed.

**L3 — provider-scoped settings.** The five keys are gone from
`appSettingsSchema`; `provider-codex` defines
`memoryEnabled`/`subagentsDisabled`, `provider-claude-code` adds
`workflowsDisabled`, both derived into `providerOptions` by their hooks.
Drizzle data migration `0105_provider_settings_to_plugins` copies stored
values into `plugin_settings` (existing plugin rows win) and retires the
shared rows. `supportsWorkflows` is deleted from the declaration and
`ProviderServerCapabilities` (it only ever fed `workflowsEnabled`). Web:
the hardcoded Codex/Claude settings pages, `SETTINGS_PROVIDER_ENTRIES`,
`/settings/providers/:providerId` are gone; a generic **Settings →
Providers** bucket lists every registered provider with order + default
controls, and per-provider knobs live on the plugin's settings page.
Mobile: `ProviderSettingsScreen` and its route are gone (plugin detail
already renders `bb.settings` forms).

**L4 — flat ids + user order.** `RESERVED_PROVIDER_ID_OWNERS`,
`reservedProviderIdProblem`, `PRODUCT_PROVIDER_ORDER`,
`PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER_ID` deleted. Collision = first live
registration wins (`assertProviderRegistrable` keeps only the "has a
bridge" check). `registry.list()` orders by an install rank the plugin
runtime supplies (bundled plugins by their `BUNDLED_PLUGINS` index —
reordered to codex, claude-code, pi, acp so today's picker order is
preserved — then others by `installedAt`, then registration sequence),
under two new app settings `providerOrder: string[]` and
`defaultProviderId: string | null` (`bb settings general …` works
unchanged, docs/configuration.md updated). `thread-default-policy`
resolves the default as the user's choice when registered+available,
else the first available listed provider.

**L5 — duplicate catalogs.** Server `claude-code-fallback-models.ts`
deleted; the model-list route serves `registration.fallbackModels` (from
the declaration) on a transient probe failure. App
`PLACEHOLDER_PROVIDER_INFOS` and `CLAUDE_CODE_PLACEHOLDER_MODELS`
deleted (a cold cache waits for the first probe; a remembered
per-routing roster still replays). The Claude catalog data moved to an
import-free `src/model-catalog-data.ts` (the server loads `server.ts`
with only the SDK root specifier resolvable, so it must not pull in
`@get-bb/plugin-sdk/provider-bridge`). Web + mobile usage banners, the
picker's brand strip, the missing-CLI install link, and the plan-mode
permission display now read `ProviderInfo.strings` — the mobile usage
table's keys (`claudeCode`, `cursor`) never matched the server's
provider-id keys, which this fixes as a side effect.
`effective-prompt-mode` keys on the presence of `strings.planModeCopy`,
not `providerId === "claude-code"`.

**L6 — directory.** `bb.sdk.providers.list()` already existed
(verified). New `app.experimental_useProviders()` (`{ status, providers:
ProviderInfo[] }`) in the SDK, app implementation, and test harness
(`providers` option); `provider-retry` and `automations` read provider
names from it instead of local tables. Icons remain vendored — see the
api_to_audit entry for why.

**`env.passthrough`** replaces the daemon's hardcoded
`BB_CLAUDE_CODE_EXECUTABLE` forwarding: `bridgeLaunch.envPassthrough`
(REQUIRED on the wire) names the variables; the runtime picks exactly
those from the daemon env into the bridge process env. #2153's
record-mode forward (`BB_PROVIDER_BRIDGE_RECORD_DIR`, read from the
daemon's own env) stays beside it in `providerProcessEnvFromShellEnv` —
it is a daemon concern, not a provider declaration.

**Wire:** `HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` 148 (WS1a) → **149**;
protocol.ts keeps all three log entries (147 contract, 148 WS1a, 149
this PR). Changes: `options` shape (fields removed, `providerOptions`
required, `promptMode` optional) and `bridgeLaunch.envPassthrough`
required.

**Docs / surfaces:** docs/api_to_audit.md (registration entry rewritten
for flat ids + install order; target-state-fields entry expanded with
the hook/models/env/family and migration; new
`experimental_useProviders` entry), bb-plugin-authoring SKILL.md
(`bb.providers.register` with every new field), docs/configuration.md
(Providers bucket, `providerOrder`/`defaultProviderId`, plugin-scoped
knobs), docs/provider-bridge-protocol.md alias rename, echo-provider
example.

### G10 doc-sync gaps (`provider-plugin-doc.test.ts`)

`family`, `models`, `env`, `deriveProviderOptions`, `promptMode` →
mapped to real fields. `maintenance` stays a gap, retargeted to the
stabilization audit: it is a pure fold of the three
`experimental_provider{Health,Usage,Installation}` booleans, and
declaring the same three facts twice during the transition would break
one-fact-one-place.

### Deliberately NOT done here (noted for WS4)

- `AgentRuntimeSkillRoot` is still a closed union keyed by first-party
id (WS1a's flag). Dissolving it needs the `skills/configure` root to
carry both the skills dir and the plugin root (Claude consumes the
latter), i.e. a bridge-protocol + Claude bridge change — WS4's lane.
- `provider-registry.ts` keeps 9 `isAcpProviderId` hits for the dynamic
ACP tier (custom agents resolved from config) — WS2b deletes the tier.

### Relation to WS1a

Now stacked on top of WS1a (#2136), so there is no sibling overlap to
reconcile: the restack commit ports the scripted-echo launch helper and
WS1a's new dispatch / extension-payload tests to this PR's shapes
(`envPassthrough`, `readSettings`, no `supportsWorkflows`) and keeps
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 149` with all three log entries.

## Guardrails

the three maintenance booleans, capabilities, composerActions) for codex
/ claude-code / pi / acp-cursor to their pre-PR values, plus the picker
order, and asserts the new projections are filled.

## How I verified

All with `--concurrency 4`:

- `turbo run typecheck` — **74/74 tasks green** (whole repo).
- `turbo run build` — 18/18 green. `turbo run lint` — green
(pre-existing app warnings only).
- `turbo run test` for `@bb/server` (193 files / 1817 tests; the only
failure is the known local-umask `internal-skill-trees` case, passes in
CI), `@bb/app` (414 files), `@bb/mobile` (124), `@bb/agent-runtime`
(31), `@bb/host-daemon` (47), `@bb/domain`, `@get-bb/plugin-sdk`,
`@bb/provider-bridge-protocol`, `@bb/host-daemon-contract`, `@bb/db`,
`@bb/client-core`, `@bb/cli`, `@bb/server-contract`, `@bb/thread-view`,
`@bb/scripts`, `@bb/plugin-build`, `@bb/demo-server`, and the plugins
`provider-claude-code`, `provider-codex`, `provider-acp`,
`provider-retry`, `automations`, `tasks` — all green.
- Tests that fail before / pass after:
`plugin-provider-registration.test.ts` (projection of
strings/tiers/levels/kinds/family/models/env + the hook bound to
settings + non-JSON rejection), `provider-registry.test.ts`
(install-rank order, user order overlay, unknown default → null, freed
ids), `thread-default-policy.test.ts` (user default + order),
`thread-runtime-config.test.ts` (providerOptions per provider, hook
context, promptMode only for plan-declaring providers),
`first-party-provider-plugins.test.ts` (client-field pin),
`migrate.test.ts` (0105 carries values, plugin rows win, shared rows
retired), `ProvidersSettingsSection.test.tsx`,
`execution-options.test.ts` (structural bag equality), mobile
`settings-models.test.ts` (usage rows keyed by provider id).

Not run: the live-CLI integration suite
(`agent-runtime#test:integration`) and the corpus gate (not in this
base).

…rpus row snapshots, timeline perf, permission matrix (#2121)

> **Stacked in the chain**: contract #2124 → WS1a #2136 → recordings

Base `bb/ws2a-registry-providerinfo-stack-on-2124-thr_hbi4kggyzb`. WS1a
deleted the `ProviderAdapter` interface and the fake adapter, so the
runtime permission matrix drives `handleRuntimeProviderRequest` through
the real bridge-protocol adapter built for the scripted echo launch
(`createProviderForId` + `createScriptedEchoLaunch`), with the
initialize handshake setting `approvalEnforcedBy` and a canonical
`interaction/request` on the wire. The 80 outcomes pinned on `main` are
unchanged; the `tool_use` subject the v3 contract added gets 20 measured
cells of its own (the type-level union guard demanded them).
`resolvePermissionEscalation` now takes only the initiator, so the
server table is 3 initiator cells + the 54 policy-shape cells. The row
snapshots minted on `main` compare byte-identical (307/307, 0 diffs)
under WS1a, #2153, and WS2a. Pre-stack history: `4af0367`.

## What was wrong

The provider-plugin migration abandons byte-equivalence with the old
goldens on purpose, which removes the regression oracle. Before any
provider code moves, `main` needs machine checks on real data that every
later layer can run: projected rows for the 307 production threads in
the private corpus (A4), a timeline-build and event-size baseline, and
the permission-decision matrix (A5/G12) pinned as a literal table before
WS5 changes the unions. None of these existed.

## What changed

No production code changes. Tests, test helpers, one script, one turbo
task, docs.

- **Corpus reader** — `packages/test-helpers/src/provider-corpus.ts`:
`corpusAvailable()`, `listCorpusThreads({ provider?, reasons? })`,
`loadCorpusThread(id)`. Reads `BB_PROVIDER_CORPUS_DIR` (`manifest.json`,
`threads/<provider>/<id>/{meta.json,events.ndjson}`), validates rows at
the boundary with zod (ids must be one safe path segment), resolves each
thread through its manifest entry and fails unless `meta.json` and every
event row agree on id, provider, reasons, and row count, and decodes
event payloads with `@bb/domain` `parseStoredThreadEvent` +
`buildThreadEventRow` — the same path as the server's
`parseStoredEventRow`. `.gitignore` gets `**/provider-corpus/**` with
re-includes for the two in-repo directories of that name.
- **Row snapshots** —
`apps/server/test/provider-corpus/row-snapshots.test.ts` +
`corpus-harness.ts`. Each thread is inserted into in-memory SQLite with
its original ids, sequences, and timestamps (raw `INSERT` so nothing is
minted), then every timeline page is built via
`buildThreadTimelineWithProfile` with the options the route uses — event
budget from `defaultFeatureFlags`, inline-output limit from
`DEFAULT_MAX_INLINE_OUTPUT_CHARS`, display name and plan command from
the real provider registry (`createTestProviderRegistry()` loads the
first-party plugin declarations) through `resolveProviderPlanCommand`,
unhandled ops included, output truncation + preview — following the
route's own `olderCursor`. Two variants per thread: `default` (turn rows
summarized) and `nested` (`includeNestedRows`, children materialized).
Snapshots go to
`$BB_PROVIDER_CORPUS_DIR/snapshots/rows/<provider>/<threadId>.json`,
keys sorted. Nothing is blanked: no wall-clock value reaches the rows,
and write mode proves it by projecting every thread twice and requiring
byte equality. Compare mode fails on any diff not covered by
`snapshots/allowlist.json` (`threadId` | `provider` | `"*"` scope,
JSON-pointer or `*`/`**` glob path, `pr`, `reason`), prints a unified
diff for the first 3 differing threads plus a count, lists the entries
it used, and fails on entries that cover nothing.
- **Perf baselines** — `timeline-perf.test.ts`: 10 largest threads per
provider, latest page and full page walk, 5 profiled builds each after a
warm-up, stage p50s from `ThreadTimelineBuildProfile`, persisted `data`
bytes median/p95/total, rows produced. Written to
`snapshots/perf-baseline.json`; compare fails at baseline × 1.10 for
build cost and × 1.15 for median event size. **Deviation from the brief,
with data:** the gate uses a normalized cost — min build time ÷ min time
of a fixed CPU workload that shares no code with the timeline (JSON
codec + sort over a deterministic document, run once per sample right
before the builds) — not raw p50/p95. Raw p50 of the same commit swung
up to 30% between two back-to-back runs on this 16-core box at load ~6
(14 of 20 threads tripped a literal 1.10 gate on the very next run);
each side's minimum discards its own contended samples, interleaving
keeps both minima in one short window, and a workload outside the
timeline path means a uniform regression still moves the ratio. Raw
p50/p95 are still recorded and printed. Up to 3 attempts per thread
(write mode keeps the median attempt; compare stops at the first pass),
a 5 ms floor for tiny latest-page builds, and compare mode refuses a
baseline written with different gate settings. The table header reports
the load average and flags an oversubscribed machine.
- **CI micro-benchmark** — same file, no corpus: `synthetic-thread.ts`
builds a 10,019-event thread (every item kind, deltas, background tasks,
usage events) and walks all 12 pages. Gate: minimum of 5 walks under
1,500 ms (local minimum 150–170 ms; the ceiling is ~10× so a slow runner
passes while a quadratic regression still fails).
- **Permission matrix** —
`packages/agent-runtime/src/permission-matrix.test.ts`: the runtime
chokepoint `handleRuntimeProviderRequest` over permission policy (5
members of the discriminated union) × approval subject (5: command,
file_change, permission_grant, plan, tool_use) × `approvalEnforcedBy`
(2) × deny availability (2) = 100 cells, each a literal; `satisfies
Record<CellKey, Outcome>` plus `SameUnion` type guards against the
domain unions (dropping a row or a union member fails `tsc`, verified on
the stack), plus runtime assertions that every local subject kind parses
as a payload. The request goes through WS1a's real bridge-protocol
adapter. `apps/server/test/permissions/permission-matrix.test.ts`:
`resolvePermissionEscalation` over the 3 initiators and the 54-cell
runtime-permission-policy shape cross product (5 accepted), with the
reviewer vocabulary pinned to the policy union at the type level.
- **Seeds** — `scripts/provider-corpus/snapshot-rows.sh
[write|compare]`, `@bb/server#test:provider-corpus` (uncacheable,
`passThroughEnv` for the two variables — strict turbo env mode strips
them from the plain `test` task), and a "Provider corpus" section in
`docs/debugging-and-qa.md`.

### Permission matrix (runtime)

Outcome: `forward` = reaches `onInteractiveRequest` (user decides);
`auto-deny` = runtime answers deny; `encode-error` = runtime wants to
auto-deny but `deny` is not in `availableDecisions`, so the provider
gets a JSON-RPC error. Subject kind (command, file_change,
permission_grant, plan, tool_use) never changes the outcome, so the
table is collapsed over it (each row below is 5 cells).

| policy (mode/escalation) | approvalEnforcedBy | deny available |
outcome |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| accept-edits/ask | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| accept-edits/ask | provider | yes / no | forward |
| accept-edits/deny | runtime | yes | **auto-deny** |
| accept-edits/deny | runtime | no | **encode-error** |
| accept-edits/deny | provider | yes / no | forward |
| auto/ask | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| auto/ask | provider | yes / no | forward |
| auto/deny | runtime | yes | **auto-deny** |
| auto/deny | runtime | no | **encode-error** |
| auto/deny | provider | yes / no | forward |
| full/– | runtime | yes / no | forward |
| full/– | provider | yes / no | forward |

Bridge-kit predicate: `shouldAutoDenyInteractiveRequest` → ask: false,
deny: true, null: false.

Server escalation by initiator: user → ask; agent → deny; system → deny.
(On `main` the function also took the thread and was measured
identically for root, delegated-child, and fork threads; WS1a removed
the unused argument.)

Accepted runtime policy shapes (5 of 54):
accept-edits/workspace/user/{ask,deny},
auto/workspace/automatic/{ask,deny}, full/full/–/–.

Observations (pinned, not fixed):

1. Permission **mode** never auto-decides anything in the runtime or the
server. Only escalation does, and escalation is purely a function of the
turn initiator. Mode is translated into provider-native settings (codex
`approvalPolicy`/sandbox, Claude SDK `permissionMode`) and enforced by
the provider. So a runtime-enforced provider in `full` mode that did
send an approval would prompt the user.
2. The `encode-error` cells: on an agent- or system-initiated turn, a
runtime-enforced provider whose approval omits `deny` receives a
JSON-RPC error instead of a decision. Codex forwards the provider's own
decision list, so this is reachable in principle; no first-party bridge
omits deny today.
3. `plan` approvals are treated like any other subject by the runtime:
on a system-initiated turn with a runtime-enforced provider they are
auto-denied. Claude is provider-enforced and always forwards
`ExitPlanMode`, so only codex plan approvals can hit this.

## How you verified

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --filter=@bb/server
--filter=@bb/test-helpers --filter=@bb/agent-runtime` — 6 tasks
successful.
- On the WS1a stack (`--concurrency 4`): `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/server
--filter=@bb/test-helpers` green; `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/test-helpers` — 31 files, 434
tests passed (102 of them the matrix); `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/server` — 197 files, 1,886 tests passed, the one failure
again the local umask assertion. With the corpus set, the row snapshots
minted on `main` compare byte-identical under WS1a's v3 assembler:
307/307, 0 diffs.
- On `main` before the stack, corpus absent: `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/agent-runtime --filter=@bb/test-helpers` — 32 files, 504
tests passed (82 of them the matrix). `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=@bb/server` — 196 files passed, 1 skipped (the row-snapshot
suite), 1,884 tests passed; the single failure is the pre-existing
`internal-skill-trees` file-mode assertion (this checkout's umask 0002
yields 0664 where the test expects 0644; it fails on clean `main` here
and passes in CI). The two corpus suites report as skipped; the
synthetic benchmark runs (`Synthetic 10019-event thread: 12 pages, 1165
rows projected, full walk p50 174 ms`).
- Corpus present: `scripts/provider-corpus/snapshot-rows.sh compare` → 2
files, 328 tests passed (307 row snapshots + 20 perf threads + 1
synthetic).
- Row snapshot write mode: **307 threads, 93,262 rows (top-level +
nested children), 270.5 MB (283,656,293 bytes), 96.9 s wall**; compare
mode on the same commit: 73.1 s, 0 diffs. After switching the harness
from copied provider literals to the real registry, compare was still
307/307 with 0 diffs — the snapshots are byte-identical.
- Perf gate on the final estimator: baseline written at load 9.2,
compare on the same commit at load 5.7 passed 20/20 threads on the first
attempt, ratios 0.80–1.09× of baseline. Every one of the 330,626 corpus
events decodes with today's `parseStoredThreadEvent` (426 MB of `data`).
- Allowlist machinery exercised by mutating one snapshot: compare fails
with the unified diff; an entry covering
`/variants/*/pages/*/rows/*/text` for that thread passes; a stale entry
fails with "every snapshots/allowlist.json entry must cover at least one
diff".
- Exhaustiveness guards exercised: deleting one matrix row → `TS2741
Property '"full/-|plan|provider|deny-unavailable"' is missing`; dropping
`"provider"` from the enforcer list → `SameUnion` becomes `false` and
the `satisfies` rejects the extra keys.

…bridge to grammar v3 with presentation (#2164)

Stacked on #2121 (corpus harness + permission matrix,
`bb/provider-baselines`) ← #2148 (WS2a) ← #2153 (recordings) ← #2136
(WS1a) ← #2124 (contract). WS1b-codex of the provider-plugin migration:
the codex bridge speaks grammar v3 with a presentation on every item,
its natives map to the core kinds, bb-injected tools carry their
presentation, goals and the macOS permission profile are codex extension
kinds, and the codex v2 path is deleted.

**Do not merge.** Coordinator reviews, Sawyer merges the stack.

## Stack

contract #2124 → WS1a #2136 → recordings #2153 (incl. #2177 and the
`PARITY_INITIALIZE_ID` follow-up) → WS2a #2148 → corpus harness #2121 →
**this PR** → WS1b-claude #2178. Six commits: the five codex layers
below plus one `parity:` commit carrying this PR's allowlist entries and
the codex `bridge→runtime.current.ndjson` lanes re-recorded against this
bridge with #2153's `pnpm rerecord --provider codex --plan-with <main
checkout>`. No vendored harness copies remain (they were needed only
while #2153 was outside the stack). The A4 corpus check was run from a
throwaway worktree with #2121's harness cherry-picked on top, since
#2121 is not in the stack.

## What was wrong

The codex bridge emitted v2-shaped items: no presentation (core
thread-view kept codex's tool-name tables), native sub-agents as `tool`
items named `spawnAgent`, `update_plan` as a turn-level event the UI
discards, goals as core `thread/goal/*` events, bb-injected tools
without `server`, and a macOS permission profile on a command approval
failed the whole approval. Open work rode an out-of-band
`thread/openWork` notification.

## What changed (one commit per layer; the last deletes)

1. **Presentation on every item.open/close** —
`plugins/provider-codex/src/presentation.ts` is the one place codex
tool-name knowledge lives: shell commands (wrapper stripped from the
headline), file edits, the bundled `node_repl` server ("Ran JavaScript"
with the call's title), other MCP servers by tool name, dynamic tools,
collab verbs, web search/fetch, image views, reasoning, messages, plans,
compactions, the synthesized sub-agent spawn. An invariant suite drives
one item per codex native through the real translator and asserts every
lifecycle delta carries one.
2. **Delegation + planSteps** — the synthesized native sub-agent is a
foreground `delegation` (`childRef` = agent thread id, `label` =
agentPath); a follow-up to a settled agent re-opens the same item and
the row closes only when the agent owes nothing more (the exact
open-work predicate); a dead app-server child settles its open
delegations as failed on the wire. A collab call that names its receiver
is a delegation to it; a bare `wait` stays a tool item with its collab
presentation. `turn/plan/updated` becomes a settled `planSteps` snapshot
per update. `RuntimeBackgroundWorkState` counts a pending delegation as
open work. **Thread-view projects a `delegation` item to the existing
delegation row with the child content nested** — without this the row
and every child message under it vanish before the projection workstream
lands (the projection suppresses orphans with a `parentToolCallId`).
`planSteps` items are not projected yet (status quo: codex plans were
discarded).
3. **bb-injected tools carry their presentation** (Q31) —
`bb.agents.registerTool({ experimental_presentation })` (+
`docs/api_to_audit.md`); the server resolves one presentation per tool
at its boundary (declaration → status labels → generic label + the
plugin's branding glyph / `Toolbox`) onto `DynamicTool.presentation`;
the codex bridge emits calls to injected tools as `{ server: "bb", tool
}` with that presentation. ask-user-question and workflows declare
theirs (AskUserQuestion and `bb_workflow_result` collapse by default).
`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` 149 → 150 (149 is WS2a's #2148, this PR's
base; the history reads 147 → 148 → 149 → 150). The field is optional
and `dynamicToolSchema` is not strict, so an older daemon strips it and
keeps working; the bump follows the repository rule for a widened
server↔daemon wire. Optional per A1: every committed recording's runtime
lane predates the field and must keep replaying; the stabilization pass
makes it required.
4. **Goals + macOS profile as codex extension kinds** —
`provider-codex/goal` (state; `null` once cleared) and
`provider-codex/macos-permission` (item) declared on the registration
with plugin-owned zod schemas (`extension-kinds.ts`). The bridge emits
goals as extension state. A command approval asking for macOS
capabilities now reaches the user for the command; the profile rides the
timeline as its own row saying bb cannot grant it (the plugin-rendered
approval is WS5's). **Read-time conversion in core:**
`parseStoredThreadEvent` decodes persisted `thread/goal/updated|cleared`
rows into the extension state (the one path every stored-event read
takes); thread-view goal extraction and the runtime's goal-clear wait
read that state. The sidebar's latest-goal query becomes a
latest-thread-state-by-kind query (partial index widened to
`thread/extensionState/updated`, migration **0106** `thread_state_index`
— regenerated with Drizzle so its snapshot chains from WS2a's 0105
`provider_settings_to_plugins`; `json_extract` kind filter). Verified
against the corpus: the 721-row goal thread renders its goal unchanged.
5. **Delete the codex v2 path** — `thread.goal`/`thread.goalCleared`
leave the grammar and assembler (G3 snapshot updated;
`PROVIDER_BRIDGE_PROTOCOL_VERSION` stays 2 under the grammar range, as
WS1a's v2 deletion did); the `thread/openWork` notification leaves the
protocol, adapter and reaper (an unknown notification is ignored); the
bridge drops its open-work reporting and the hard-coded AskUserQuestion
presentation. Kept: the bridge's knowledge of its spawn/resume collab
verbs for a receiver-less call — tool-name knowledge in the bridge is
the point, not a remnant. The `thread/goal/*` domain event types remain
as read-only legacy vocabulary.

Naming note: the spec says `codex/goal`; the extension-kind namespace is
the **plugin id**, which is `provider-codex`, and that is how the
registry resolves the schema.

## Regression oracle

All turbo invocations with `--concurrency 4`; perf suite ignored
(known-noisy, flagged on #2121).

- **Conformance**: codex scripted suite + recorded conformance over all
17 recorded cells (incl. archived-resume, auth-failure, empty-rollout,
missing-rollout) green.
- **Parity (A2)**, `pnpm parity --old <origin/main worktree at
f6fb434> --new . --provider codex`: **16 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped**
(process-scoped `model-list`). Event and row counts equal in every cell.
`recordings/parity-allowlist.json` names every intended
byte-inequivalence with `#2164` and a reason — 26 entries, four classes:
`presentation` on items (15 cells), `server: "bb"` on the
AskUserQuestion call (user-question), the sub-agent spawn as a
`delegation` item + its row (`subagent`, events `/6` `/28`, rows
`/0/children/0/{toolName,output}`), and `thread/goal/cleared` →
`provider-codex/goal` extension state (one event index in each of 6
goal-bearing cells). Zero unlisted diffs, zero stale entries.
claude-code **13/13** and acp-cursor **10/10** replay against main with
**zero diffs** (no entries).
- **Corpus (A4)**, 307 threads / 93,262 rows: **zero diffs**,
claude-code and codex alike; no corpus allowlist entry was needed (the
only read-time change, goals, projects identically by design).
- **G11**: `provider/unhandled` flat on every codex cell (0→0;
auth-failure 1→1) and on the corpus.
- **G1**: 209 → 209 (no provider-id literal added or removed in core;
`"provider-codex/goal"` is not a provider-id literal by the ratchet's
regex).
- **Parity self-suite** (#2153's, in the stack): 43/43 with the codex
current lanes re-recorded against this bridge; row-count pins
**unchanged** (every current lane assembles to exactly the pinned
counts); the claude/acp current lanes #2153 produced on WS1a's bridges
hold as they are.

Tests on the final stack (all forced, `--concurrency 4`, one turbo at a
time): db 406 (migration chain 0104 → 0105 → 0106 incl.
replay-on-existing-DB cases), agent-runtime 337, codex 193 (scripted +
recorded conformance), host-daemon-contract 52, provider-parity 43;
typecheck green for codex, agent-runtime, provider-parity, server, db.
Earlier full sweep before the re-stacks: domain 150, thread-view 382,
provider-bridge-protocol 218, plugin-sdk 127, host-daemon 552,
integration 55, claude-code 262, acp 182, workflows 223,
ask-user-question 36, scripted echo 1; server 1828/1829 (the one failure
is the known local umask case in `internal-skill-trees`, passes in CI);
typecheck green across 25 packages incl. app, mobile, cli.

## Not done

- **Live QA cells via bb-dev-app**
(turn/steer/stop/approve/deny/question/subagent/resume/fork/plan with
screenshots) — not run; the coordinator schedules them separately.
- `planSteps` rows are not projected by thread-view (no regression:
codex plans were discarded before); the projection workstream owns it.
- The plugin-rendered macOS approval (the profile round-trips only as a
visible row today) — WS5.

… presentation (#2178)

Stacked on #2164 (WS1b-codex,
`bb/ws1b-codex-codex-bridge-to-v3-stack-on-2136-thr_xnid5ftd87`), which
sits on WS2a #2148 → the corpus harness #2121 → the recordings harness
#2153 → WS1a #2136 → the contract #2124 (SDK 0.4.11 at the bottom).
WS1b-claude of the provider-plugin migration: the Claude Code bridge
speaks grammar v3 with a presentation on every item, Claude's tool-name
knowledge moves out of core thread-view into the bridge, and the
bridge's last Claude-specific result structure is deleted.

**Do not merge.** Coordinator reviews, Sawyer merges the stack.

Stacked on codex rather than WS1a on purpose: codex added the minimal
thread-view projection of `delegation` items (row + nested child
content) that Claude's `Agent`/`Task` sub-agents need. The recordings +
parity harness beneath this PR is the real #2153 (in the chain, with
`pnpm rerecord` and the `PARITY_INITIALIZE_ID` fix); the one harness
file this PR touches is `redact.mjs` (bare-message ndjson, dash-encoded
home paths). The corpus harness #2121 is in the chain too; the A4 run
below is native to this tree.

## What was wrong

The Claude bridge emitted v2-shaped items: no presentation (core
thread-view kept Claude's tool-name tables — `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob`
intents, the `Agent`/`Task` delegation row, the TodoWrite/Task*
suppression list and todo reducer), `Read` as an opaque `tool` item (the
top generic tool in the production corpus: 7,568 calls), `Agent` as a
`tool` item named Agent, TodoWrite/TaskCreate/TaskUpdate as tool rows a
core reducer had to understand, bb-injected tools as
`mcp__bb-bridge__<name>` without `server`, and a structured task-tool
`result` that core parsed — and which never matched in production,
because the persisted result was the SDK's friendly string, so the task
banner did not work for the Task tools.

## What changed (one commit per layer; the last deletes)

0. **Transcript → SDK-stream converter and fixtures** (the spec's first
task). `scripts/provider-recordings/convert-claude-transcript.mjs` turns
a `~/.claude/projects` session (plus its
`<session>/subagents/agent-*.jsonl` sidechains, interleaved by timestamp
with `parent_tool_use_id` from the subagent's `toolUseId`) into the SDK
stream the bridge would have seen. A transcript has no `result`, no
`system/init` and no `task_*` family, so the converter synthesizes them
deterministically: a `result` per segment (a root message that stops
with a non-tool-use reason, the next prompt, EOF),
`task_started`/`task_updated`/`task_notification` for Agent calls from
the call, its result (`async_launched` ⇒ backgrounded) and the
`<task-notification>` resume,
`api_retry`/model-fallback/`compact_boundary` from the system records.
Human prompts only delimit turns — a live stream never echoes them
(verified against every committed recording); CLI-injected user messages
(isMeta context, task notifications) do stream and are kept.
`convert-claude-transcripts-sample.sh` rebuilds the committed sample:
**12 sessions/windows, 1,076 messages (331 sidechain records), 1.85 MB
after redaction**, all from the owner's own corpus threads: plan mode +
AskUserQuestion + ExitPlanMode, WebSearch, WebFetch + Read, Edit/Write,
foreground and backgrounded Agents with their sidechains,
TaskCreate/TaskUpdate + `model_refusal_fallback`, Workflow + Monitor +
TaskStop, TaskOutput, ScheduleWakeup, SendMessage, `api_retry`,
`compact_boundary`, `mcp__bb-bridge__` tools. Grep, Glob, TodoWrite,
MultiEdit and NotebookEdit appear in none of the 2,559 local
transcripts; those paths are covered by scripted unit tests.
`transcript-fixtures.test.ts` drives each fixture through the
`sdk/message` envelope into a real assembler and checks structural
invariants (every tool_use opens an item its tool_result settles,
sidechain items nest under the spawning call, every turn settles,
nothing left open, every started item presented) plus a pinned
projection per fixture in `expected.json` (item kinds, tool names, plan
snapshots, `provider/unhandled`, which may only go down).
1. **Presentation on every item; the v3 kinds** —
`plugins/provider-claude-code/src/presentation.ts` is the one place
Claude's tool-name knowledge lives; `tool-classification.ts` maps every
tool_use to its shape with that presentation. `Read` → `fileRead`;
`Grep` → `search{content}`, `Glob` → `search{path}`;
`Edit`/`Write`/`MultiEdit`/`NotebookEdit` → `fileChange` with per-verb
labels; `Bash` → `command` (a backgrounded call is labelled as a
launch); `WebSearch`/`WebFetch` as before with presentation.
`Agent`/`Task` → `delegation` (`childRef` = the call id, which is how
the SDK identifies the sub-agent's stream: `parent_tool_use_id`;
`background: true` for `run_in_background`, settling at the launch ack
on the thread-scoped family; summary = the result text without Claude's
`agentId:`/`<usage>` lines; sub-agent type and model in the presentation
detail). `TodoWrite` → a collapsed call row plus a settled `planSteps`
snapshot from its arguments;
`TaskCreate`/`TaskUpdate`/`TaskList`/`TaskGet` → a collapsed call row
plus a `planSteps` snapshot of the thread's folded task list
(`plan-fold.ts`, reading the SDK's envelope-level `tool_use_result`)
after each successful call — channel-keyed close deltas, the latest
superseding, the same shape as codex `update_plan`. `ToolSearch`,
`TaskOutput`, `Monitor`, `ScheduleWakeup`, `SendMessage`,
`AskUserQuestion`, `TodoRead`, `BashOutput` → `tool` with
`presentation.suppress`; plan mode, Workflow, TaskStop, Skill,
StructuredOutput, worktrees, ListAgents → `tool` with their own
labels/glyphs/titles; an unknown tool reads `Running <tool>`/`Ran
<tool>`. `mcp__<server>__<tool>` splits into `{ server, tool }`. The
compaction item and every close-without-open fallback carry one too; the
close re-states the open's. **Thread-view keeps the new kinds
rendering** until the presentation-driven projection lands (the same
minimal bridge codex added for `delegation`): `fileRead`/`search` items
project to the tool row with the intents the legacy Read/Grep/Glob calls
produced (tested equal to the legacy rows); a tool call whose
presentation says `suppress` is hidden like the legacy name list
(failures still render); the todo banner reads a `planSteps` snapshot
as-is. No persisted-event projection changed: the legacy tables stay for
old rows (G1 unchanged).
2. **Background tasks carry their presentation** — workflows,
backgrounded shells and backgrounded sub-agents stay the core
`backgroundTask` kind (genericity rule) and say how they read on
open/close. Model fallback and `/clear` stay the core events they are.
3. **bb-injected tools** (Q31) — a `mcp__bb-bridge__<name>` call is `{
server: "bb", tool: <bare name> }` with the presentation the server
resolved onto the `DynamicTool` definition, learned through
`configureInjectedTools` at session construction; a definition without
one presents generically under bb's glyph. The server's `statusLabels`
enrichment skips items with a server, so nothing relies on it.
4. **Delete the Claude v2 translation path** — the task tools'
structured `result` (the shape core's legacy todo reducer read) is gone;
the tool row carries the text result like every tool and `planSteps` is
the one structured form core sees. The bridge no longer imports the
SDK's claude task-tool schemas. Kept on purpose: the bridge's knowledge
of its own tool names, and the close-without-open fallback.

`HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` stays **150**: nothing on the
server↔daemon wire changed (translation and an item-shape change inside
the `thread/delta` lane only).

## Regression oracle

All turbo invocations with `--concurrency 4`; perf suite ignored
(known-noisy, flagged on #2121). Old leg: an `origin/main` worktree at
`f6fb434ab`.

- **Conformance**: claude scripted suite + recorded conformance over all
14 recorded cells (incl. auth-failure, plan-mode, subagent,
user-question) green. The claude `bridge→runtime.current.ndjson` lanes
are re-recorded with this bridge (`pnpm rerecord --plan-with <main
checkout> --provider claude-code`); the recordings themselves are
untouched and the self-suite's row-count pins are **unchanged** (43/43).
- **Parity (A2)**, `pnpm parity --old <origin/main worktree> --new .
--provider claude-code`: **13 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped**
(process-scoped `model-list`). Event and row counts equal in every cell.
`recordings/parity-allowlist.json` gains 27 entries naming `#2178`,
three classes:
- `presentation` on items — `/*/item/presentation`, events, 9 cells
(approval-allow, approval-deny, compaction, plan-mode, steer, subagent,
turn-tools, user-question, web-search; the other 4 cells have no items).
- Read → `fileRead` — plan-mode events `/2`, `/4`, `/24`, `/25`; rows
`/0/children/{0,5}/{toolName, toolArgs, output,
activityIntents/0/command, activityIntents/0/name}` (the row projects
from a fileRead item: no tool name or arguments, the file contents are
not row data, the intent command is `Read <path>`).
- Agent → `delegation` — subagent events `/6`, `/13`; rows
`/0/children/0/toolName` ("delegation") and `/0/children/0/subagentType`
(the delegation item has no such field; the type rides the presentation
detail).
Zero unlisted diffs, zero stale entries. codex **16/16** and acp-cursor
**10/10** replay against main with **zero new diffs** (no entries added;
nothing of theirs touched). The expected "suppressed low-value rows" and
"planSteps" classes produce no parity diff: no recorded cell calls
Monitor/TaskOutput/ScheduleWakeup/SendMessage or TodoWrite/Task*, and
ToolSearch/AskUserQuestion were already hidden by name.
- **Corpus (A4)**, 307 threads / 93,262 rows: **zero diffs**,
claude-code and codex alike, no corpus allowlist entry needed. Persisted
Claude events are `toolCall` items without presentation, and every
thread-view change here applies only to the v3 kinds and to
`presentation.suppress` — the legacy tables and reducer are untouched —
so old rows project identically by construction.
- **G11**: `provider/unhandled` flat on every claude cell (0→0;
compaction and steer 2→2) and on the corpus; pinned per transcript
fixture (23 across 12 fixtures, every one a CLI-injected string-content
`user` message — compaction summaries, `<task-notification>` resumes —
which visibility classifies `unknown` today; lowering that is a separate
change).
- **G1**: unchanged (no provider-id literal added or removed in core;
the legacy Claude tool-name tables stay for persisted rows).

Tests (forced): thread-view 385, claude-code 322, codex 193,
provider-bridge-protocol 218, provider-parity 43; server 1832/1833 (the
one failure is the known local umask case in `internal-skill-trees`,
which passes in CI). Typecheck green for the claude plugin, thread-view,
server and agent-runtime on the re-stacked base.

## Not done

- **Live QA cells via bb-dev-app**
(turn/steer/stop/approve/deny/question/subagent/resume/fork/plan with
screenshots) — not run; the recorded cells, the transcript fixtures and
parity were the oracle.
- `planSteps` rows are not projected as timeline rows (status quo:
TodoWrite/Task* rows were hidden); the banner reads them. The
presentation-driven projection workstream owns the rows.
- The delegation row loses the "(Explore)" sub-agent-type suffix for new
Claude sub-agent rows until the projection reads the presentation detail
(allowlisted; old rows unaffected).
- Backgrounded `Agent` calls keep today's two-row structure (the
delegation settles at the launch ack; the `local_agent` background task
tracks the work). Folding the task into a single background delegation
is a larger change to the runtime's open-work tracking and the
background-commands card.
- String-content `sdk/user` messages (task-notification resumes,
compaction summaries) still surface as `provider/unhandled`; the
fixtures show they are the whole G11 residue for Claude. A one-line
visibility change would lower it but changes parity for the
steer/compaction cells, so it is left for a deliberate follow-up.

A full-stack dry run surfaced a scope gap: the ratchet's test exclusions
covered test/, tests/, and __tests__/ but not this repo's src/testing/
convention, so the parity and conformance harnesses landing in #2153
(which must name providers to map each recording to its bridge module and
fake child) registered as 10 new core carve-outs. That is test tooling,
the same category as __tests__, not a provider branch in core.

Add "testing" to the excluded path segments, document why in the header,
and add a fixture test proving a provider id under src/testing/ does not
count. Regenerated baseline: 213 references across 56 files (one existing
src/testing hit was already being miscounted as core).

## What was wrong

Codex labels each reconnect attempt with a structured `codexErrorInfo`
(for example `{ responseStreamDisconnected: { httpStatusCode } }`,
`willRetry: true`, failure text in `additionalDetails`), then reports
the terminal failure for the same stream error with `codexErrorInfo:
"other"` and the failure text moved to `message`. That downgrade is
upstream: codex-rs `notify_stream_error` always labels retries
`ResponseStreamDisconnected`, while `CodexErr::to_codex_protocol_error`
maps `CodexErrorDetails::Stream` to `CodexErrorInfo::Other`. The bridge
trusted the terminal value, so the final timeline row lost the
`stream-disconnected` category and rendered as a generic **Provider
error** (the detail text is longer than the 80-char title budget, so the
disconnect cause was only visible after expanding the row).

Issue: #1840. The independent report URL
(https://get-bb.github.io/reports/issues/1840.html) returns 404; the
issue body and #1563 carry the repro.

## What changed

- `plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts`: the translation
state remembers the retry-time `codexErrorInfo` and failure text per
codex `threadId\0turnId`. A terminal (`willRetry: false`) error whose
`codexErrorInfo` is `other` and whose failure text equals the remembered
retry text reuses the retry classification. The context is consumed by
the terminal error, dropped on `turn/completed`, and never crosses
turns. Unrelated terminal errors and every non-`other` terminal value
keep the provider-reported classification. No provider prose is parsed.
- `plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`: `thread/closed` also
clears the retry context for that codex thread (exported
`clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState`).
- No wire change between server and host daemon: the `provider/error`
event shape is unchanged, only the value of `errorInfo` on this one
path. No CLI or doc surface changes.

Relation to #1563: that PR (same design, by @ymichael and @brsbl)
targets `plugins/provider-codex/src/event-translation.ts`, which #1834
deleted when it moved Codex onto the narrow-grammar delta translator. It
no longer merges (`git merge-tree` reports a content conflict in
`delta-translation.ts`). This PR ports that design onto
`delta-translation.ts`, with a flat `Map` keyed by thread+turn instead
of nested maps.

## How you verified

Tests added in `plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.test.ts` (`codex
terminal retry-error classification`):

- carries the retry classification into the degraded terminal error (and
the context is consumed, so a repeat stays `other`)
- does not relabel an unrelated terminal error after a reconnect
- scopes the retry context to the turn and drops it on `turn/completed`
- drops the retry context when the codex thread closes

Fail-before: with `delta-translation.ts` and `translator.ts` restored
from `origin/main`, `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts` fails the first test:

```
× carries the retry classification into the degraded terminal error
AssertionError: expected [ { type: 'provider/error', …(7) } ] to deep equally contain ObjectContaining{…}
  expected "category": "stream-disconnected", "providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected"
  received "category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other"
```

The three negative tests pass on `origin/main` as expected (they pin
that the guard does not over-apply).

Pass-after, from the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty):

- `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex`
→ `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total` (16 test files, 176 tests passed)
- `pnpm exec turbo run build` → `Tasks: 18 successful, 18 total`

Manual replay of the incident's two events (reconnect with
`responseStreamDisconnected`, then terminal `other` with the same
`stream disconnected before completion: ...` text) through
`createCodexEventTranslator` via `node --conditions=source --import
tsx`: the terminal delta now carries `errorInfo: { category:
"stream-disconnected", providerCode: "responseStreamDisconnected",
httpStatusCode: null }`.


## Rebase

Rebased onto `origin/main` after the grammar-v3 bridge stack landed
(#2124, #2136, #2153, #2148, #2164). That stack rewrote
`delta-translation.ts` (presentation on every item,
`injectedToolsByName` on the translation state, delegation items) and
`translator.ts` (`clearClosedThreadState` now returns the closes for
open delegations), but it did not touch the `error` case,
`toProviderErrorInfo`, or `turn/completed`, so the fix maps onto the new
code unchanged:

- The only textual conflict was in `CodexEventTranslationState` /
`createCodexEventTranslationState`, where main added
`injectedToolsByName` next to where this PR adds `retryErrorsByTurnKey`.
Resolved by keeping both fields.
- `clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState` is still called from
`clearClosedThreadState` in `translator.ts`, before it returns the
delegation closes that main added.
- The tests merged cleanly into `translator.test.ts`; they run through
the grammar-v3 `createDeltaAssembler` harness on main, and the
`provider/error` event shape they assert is unchanged.

Re-verified on the new base (`798b720ef`, one commit on top of
`origin/main`):

- Fail-before: with `delta-translation.ts` and `translator.ts` restored
from `origin/main`, `pnpm exec turbo run test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"` →
`1 failed | 3 passed`; `carries the retry classification into the
degraded terminal error` fails with expected `"category":
"stream-disconnected", "providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected"`,
received `"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other"`. The bug is
still present on current main.
- Pass-after, from the committed tree (`git status --porcelain` empty):
`pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex
--force` → `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total`, `Test Files 18 passed (18)`,
`Tests 197 passed (197)`. `pnpm exec turbo run build` → `Tasks: 18
successful, 18 total`.

Fixes #1840

## Independent verification

Verified on a fresh checkout of `bb/fix-1840-codex-stream-disconnect`
(282f32e, one commit on top of `origin/main`; `git merge-base
--is-ancestor origin/main HEAD` true, GitHub reports MERGEABLE).

Root cause checked against current upstream sources (not from the PR
description): `codex-rs/core/src/session/mod.rs` `notify_stream_error`
hard-codes `CodexErrorInfo::ResponseStreamDisconnected` for every retry
notification, `codex-rs/core/src/responses_retry.rs` returns the raw
`CodexErr` once retries are exhausted, and
`codex-rs/protocol/src/error.rs` `to_codex_protocol_error` has no arm
for `CodexErrorDetails::Stream` so it hits `_ => CodexErrorInfo::Other`.
The app-server maps `EventMsg::StreamError` to `error` with `willRetry:
true` plus `additionalDetails`, and `EventMsg::Error` to `willRetry:
false` with `additional_details: None`. The PR's correlation (retry
`additionalDetails` vs terminal `message`, same thread+turn, `other`
only) matches that wire shape exactly.

Commands:

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline` and `pnpm exec turbo
run build` (18/18).
- Fail-before: `git checkout origin/main --
plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts
plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`, then `pnpm exec turbo run
test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force -- --run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"`:
1 failed, 3 passed. Failing assertion: `carries the retry classification
into the degraded terminal error` -> `AssertionError: expected [ { type:
'provider/error', ...(7) } ] to deep equally contain
ObjectContaining{...}`, expected `"category": "stream-disconnected",
"providerCode": "responseStreamDisconnected", "httpStatusCode": 502`,
received `"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other",
"httpStatusCode": null`.
- Pass-after: restored the PR sources (`git status --porcelain` empty),
`pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test --filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex
--force` -> `Tasks: 7 successful, 7 total`, `Test Files 16 passed (16)`,
`Tests 176 passed (176)`.
- Only `packages/thread-view/src/error-display.ts` consumes the
`stream-disconnected` category (title text); no runtime recovery keys on
it, so the blast radius is the timeline row title.

Repro on the fixed branch: a real Codex stream outage cannot be
triggered deterministically here, so I replayed upstream-shaped events
through `createCodexEventTranslator` directly (`node --conditions=source
--import tsx`): four `Reconnecting... n/5` retries labelled
`responseStreamDisconnected` with the failure text in
`additionalDetails`, then a terminal `other` with that text as `message`
and `additionalDetails: null`. Fixed branch:
`{"category":"stream-disconnected","providerCode":"responseStreamDisconnected","httpStatusCode":null}`.
Same script with `origin/main` sources:
`{"category":"unknown","providerCode":"other"}`. Extra negative replays
on the fixed branch all stayed correct: unrelated terminal text after a
retry stays `unknown`; a structured terminal value
(`responseTooManyFailedAttempts`, 503) is never overridden by the
remembered retry; a thread-scoped retry (no `turnId`) does not relabel a
turn-scoped terminal; a retry on a different codex thread does not leak
across threads.

CI: all checks pass (Checks, Package Smoke ubuntu+macos, Tests
app-1/2/3, integration, server, packages, version check).

Residual risks (minor, not blocking): the correlation needs the terminal
`message` to equal the last notified retry's `additionalDetails`; the
terminal `CodexErr` is the attempt after the last notified retry, so if
the inner reqwest text differs between attempts the row falls back to
today's generic label (never to a wrong one). Retry context for a turn
whose child dies without `thread/closed` or `turn/completed` lives in
the per-session translator until the session is released (a few bytes).
The upstream mapping gap in codex-rs remains.

## Independent verification (post-rebase)

Re-verified after the rebase onto the grammar-v3 bridge. Checked out
`798b720ef` (one commit on top of `cf00cfe06`); `origin/main` had since
gained #2120 (provider-literal ratchet), which merges cleanly and
excludes `plugins/provider-*`, so it cannot affect this PR (`node
scripts/check-provider-literal-ratchet.mjs --base origin/main` ->
`ratchet OK: 148 references across 40 core files`).

Fix still targets the right code path in the rewritten translator: the
v3 stack left the `error` case, `toProviderErrorInfo`, and
`turn/completed` unchanged; `clearCodexEventTranslationThreadState` runs
inside `clearClosedThreadState` before the delegation closes it now
returns; `translateEvent` still routes `error` events through
`translateCodexEventToDeltas(event, eventTranslationState)` with the
single per-session state. Nothing downstream reclassifies:
`@bb/agent-runtime` `shouldRestartCodexThreadAfterEvent` keys only on
`rate-limit`/`unauthorized` categories (a retry-time label is always
`stream-disconnected`, so restart policy is unchanged) and
`packages/thread-view/src/error-display.ts` is the only consumer of the
category.

Commands (all from the committed tree):

- Fail-before on current main source: `git checkout origin/main --
plugins/provider-codex/src/delta-translation.ts
plugins/provider-codex/src/translator.ts`, then `pnpm exec vitest run
src/translator.test.ts -t "codex terminal retry-error classification"`
in `plugins/provider-codex` -> `1 failed | 3 passed`; `carries the retry
classification into the degraded terminal error` fails with expected
`"category": "stream-disconnected", "providerCode":
"responseStreamDisconnected", "httpStatusCode": 502`, received
`"category": "unknown", "providerCode": "other", "httpStatusCode": null`
(`src/translator.test.ts:1272`).
- Pass-after (sources restored, `git status --porcelain` empty): same
vitest command -> `4 passed`. `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test
--filter=bb-plugin-provider-codex --force` -> `Tasks: 7 successful, 7
total`, `Test Files 18 passed (18)`, `Tests 197 passed (197)`.
- Dependents: `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck test
--filter=@bb/provider-parity --filter=@bb/agent-runtime
--filter=@bb/provider-bridge-protocol --force` -> `Tasks: 10 successful,
10 total` (parity 43 passed, agent-runtime 439 passed, bridge-protocol
217 passed). The parity suite replays every committed recording,
including `recordings/codex/auth-failure`, through the current bridge
with zero diffs.
- `pnpm exec prettier --check` and `pnpm exec eslint` on the three
touched files: clean.

Repro on the fixed branch: replayed the issue's event sequence (four
`Reconnecting... n/5` retries labelled `responseStreamDisconnected` with
the failure text in `additionalDetails`, then terminal `other` with that
text as `message`) through `createCodexEventTranslator` via `node
--conditions=source --import tsx`: terminal delta is
`{"category":"stream-disconnected","providerCode":"responseStreamDisconnected","httpStatusCode":null}`.
A terminal-only event with no preceding retry stays `unknown`/`other`
(by design). Cross-checked against upstream
`codex-rs/protocol/src/error.rs` (`Stream(..)` still falls to `_ =>
CodexErrorInfo::Other`; terminal `message` is `self.to_string()`, the
same text `notify_stream_error` puts in `additional_details`).

CI: all 11 check-runs on `798b720ef` succeed (Checks, Package Smoke
ubuntu+macos, Tests app-1/2/3, integration, server, packages, version
check x2); 2 skipped (node-compat smoke, iOS flows).

Residual risk (minor, not blocking): the real recorded `auth-failure`
cell shows Codex's failure text can carry per-request `cf-ray`/`request
id` values that differ between the last retry and the terminal attempt;
there the exact-text guard does not fire and the terminal row stays the
generic label exactly as on main (for that 401 case a
`stream-disconnected` label would arguably be wrong anyway, and the
runtime's 401 restart text pattern still matches). Retry context for
errors without a `turnId` is only dropped on `thread/closed`.
