Summary

  • A connected client reported itself healthy while the installed Codex CLI exited before its first request. ocx connect status proved the hub answered and the credential worked; it never proved the selected local runtime could read what was written, so connected + catalog: present sat over a file that made codex exec die on unknown variant \max``.
  • The write-time gate from fix(client): refuse a hub catalog the local Codex CLI cannot parse #4240 cannot answer this. It runs once, on bytes about to be written, so it says nothing about a catalog that predates it, one written while the runtime ladder was unverified, or a runtime swapped after the write.
  • inspectClientCatalogReadiness assesses the catalog already on disk against the ladder the selected Codex CLI actually accepts. ocx connect status now leads with that verdict on its second line, ocx status --json carries connection.readiness and connection.readinessReason, and ocx connect prints the local result instead of stopping at Connected to ….
  • Fails closed on a proven incompatibility only, and only when the connection selected Codex: ocx connect prints the verdict first, withholds the Connected to … line so a caller grepping for it cannot read a broken catalog as success, and exits non-zero with the remedy (upgrade the CLI, or repoint CODEX_CLI_PATH and run ocx sync). A Claude-only connection is told about an old Codex CLI but not failed by it, because nothing in that connection launches Codex. An unobservable runtime stays unverified, never incompatible — a client machine with no Codex CLI is a working configuration, and tests/clients/client-catalog-compatibility.test.ts already locks that line for the write path.

Two deliberate decisions worth a reviewer's attention:

  • catalog keeps its three values. docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md:192 documents the status JSON as additive-only, so readiness is a new field rather than a fourth catalog value. A consumer keying on catalog === "present" therefore still sees present for an incompatible file and has to read readiness to fail closed; widening the existing field would have changed what present means for every existing reader.
  • The probe is scoped to connected clients, and persists nothing. The default observer resolves the runtime through resolveCodexRuntime (which does not write) and hands that command to the catalog read, so a read-only diagnostics command does not start writing codex-runtime.json, and a path that already resolved the runtime does not resolve it twice.
  • Cost. Observing the ladder spawns codex debug models (10s ceiling, 60s memo). A standalone or hub install returns before that, and a missing or non-regular catalog short-circuits without touching the runtime, so an ordinary ocx status pays nothing. tests/cli/cli-status-json.test.ts now asserts the field is absent for a disconnected machine, which is what holds that guarantee.

Known gap, outside this change's scope: the human ocx status one-liner (src/cli/index.ts:1406) still prints only Remote hub: connected (url). That line describes the hub, not readiness, and the field is available in --json for anyone who needs it.

Verification

  • bun run typecheckNOT RUN (local product suite was not permitted for this change).
  • bun run test / bun run test:changed / focused bun testNOT RUN, for the same reason. The regression tests below were written but not executed locally.
  • bun run build:gui, bun installNOT RUN. No GUI or dependency surface is touched.
  • Hosted CI on this exact head is the only product evidence offered for this PR.
  • Two read-only reviews were run against the staged diff: a call-site audit of every consumer of ClientConnectionStatus and CliStatusJson.connection, and a strict-TypeScript read of every new annotation (declaration: true included). Both came back clean.

New and changed coverage:

  • tests/cli/cli-connect-readiness.test.ts (new) drives the real ocx connect status in a throwaway client home, with the ladder injected so no Codex process is spawned: an installed max catalog against an 0.135.0-era ladder reports incompatible while state stays connected and catalog stays present; the human output puts the verdict on line 2; a supported ladder reports ready with nothing to explain; an unobservable ladder and an unreadable body both report unverified; and a machine with no client connection never reaches the probe (the injected observer throws if it does).
  • tests/clients/client-catalog-compatibility.test.ts covers the new predicate directly, including that the installed-file wording does not reuse the gate's "The previous catalog was kept" promise — nothing was kept back here.
  • tests/cli/cli-status-json.test.ts asserts a disconnected status carries neither new key.
  • Registered in scripts/test-layout/layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json.

Closes #4207

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. No user-facing doc names the connection field set; docs-site documents the schema as additive-only and this change is additive.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. No credential, token, or account identifier reaches the new strings; tests/cli/cli-status-json.test.ts already forbids those substrings anywhere in the serialized status JSON and the new fields are covered by it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added local runtime readiness checks to connection status and connect flows.
    • Connection status now reports ready, unverified, or incompatible outcomes, with diagnostic details when available.
    • ocx connect clearly reports readiness results and blocks connections to incompatible runtimes.
    • JSON status output includes readiness information for connected clients.
    • Catalog checks safely handle missing, unreadable, or unavailable local data.

이 PR은 방금 dev에 안착한 #4240(쓰기 시점 카탈로그 게이트)의 읽기/표시 짝입니다. 지금 CURRENT dev HEAD는 babb76449(패키지 2.51.0)이고, 직전 머지는 #4240 L4 client-catalog입니다. 베이스는 dev 직행이고, 브랜치는 codex/260911-r2-client-display입니다. 고치는 장면은 #4207과 같습니다. 클라이언트는 connected이고 카탈로그도 present인데, 설치된 Codex CLI는 unknown variant `max```로 첫 요청 전에 죽습니다. #4240은 “허브에서 내려받을 바이트를 쓰기 전에”만 막습니다. 이미 디스크에 있던 옛 파일, 사다리가 unverified일 때 써 둔 파일, 쓴 뒤에 CODEX_CLI_PATH를 바꾼 경우는 쓰지 시점 게이트가 대답하지 못합니다. 운영자가 ocx connect status``만 보면 여전히 건강한 연결로 읽힙니다.

이 PR은 그 구멍을 닫습니다. src/client/catalog-compatibility.tsinspectClientCatalogReadiness를 둡니다. 이미 깔린 카탈로그 바이트를, 지금 고른 로컬 Codex CLI가 실제로 받는 reasoning 사다리와 맞춰 봅니다. 결과는 ready / unverified / incompatible 세 갈래입니다. src/cli/connect.tscollectClientConnectionStatus는 연결이 connected일 때만 이 판정을 붙이고, 사람용 ocx connect status 두 번째 줄에 Local Codex CLI: …를 올립니다. ocx status --jsonconnection에는 readinessreadinessReason이 추가됩니다. ocx connect는 허브 연결을 끝낸 뒤 로컬 판정을 한 번 더 보고, incompatible이면 client_not_ready로 실패 종료합니다. unverified는 경고만 하고 통과합니다. Codex CLI가 없는 클라이언트 머신은 정상 구성이라는 #4240과 같은 선입니다.

의도적으로 catalog 필드는 세 값(present / missing / unsafe)을 유지합니다. docs-site lifecycle 문서가 status JSON을 additive-only로 적어 두었기 때문입니다. catalog === "present"만 보는 옛 소비자는 그대로 두고, 실패 닫힘을 원하는 쪽은 readiness를 읽게 합니다. 프로브는 연결된 클라이언트에서만 돕니다. 사다리 관측은 codex debug models(대략 10초 상한, 60초 메모)를 쓰므로, 단독/허브 설치나 카탈로그가 없는 머신은 그 비용을 내지 않습니다. 새 테스트 tests/cli/cli-connect-readiness.test.tsclient-catalog-compatibility.test.ts 확장, cli-status-json.test.ts의 disconnected 필드 부재 고정이 이 선을 잠급니다. 로컬 typecheck/test는 돌리지 않았고 증거는 호스티드 CI입니다. 이 시각 기준 hygiene·keyring·npm-global ubuntu 등은 통과했고, ubuntu/macOS test shard·gates·docker smoke·npm-global windows는 아직 pending입니다. mergeable은 MERGEABLE, mergeStateStatus는 BLOCKED(체크 대기)입니다.

본문의 Closes #4207은 이미 닫힌 이슈를 가리킵니다. #4207은 #4240 머지 직후(2026-09-11 01:00 UTC쯤) 닫혔습니다. 그래서 이 PR이 다시 닫아 주지는 않습니다. 다만 #4207이 말하던 “connected만 보면 된다”는 운영자 UX 절반은 이 PR이 채웁니다. 사람용 ocx status 한 줄(src/cli/index.ts 부근 Remote hub 줄)은 여전히 허브 상태만 찍고 readiness는 안 보여 줍니다. PR 본문이 그 간극을 범위 밖으로 명시했습니다. types/config 분할에 치일 범위는 아닙니다.

src/cli/connect.ts 라인 280-282 - ocx connect는 incompatible일 때 throw로 실패 닫히지만, 그 전에 연결 상태는 이미 디스크에 쓰인 뒤입니다. 의도(상태 보존 + 다음 셸이 0으로 이어지지 않게)는 맞습니다. 다만 스크립트가 ocx connect && codex exec가 아니라 ocx connect; ocx connect status만 보면 status는 여전히 exit 0이라, “로컬이 준비됐다”는 착각이 status JSON을 안 읽는 경로에 남을 수 있습니다.

src/cli/connect.ts statusLines / runConnect - status의 사람 출력은 두 번째 줄에 판정을 올리지만, status 명령 자체는 incompatible이어도 0으로 끝납니다. connect만 fail-closed입니다. 자동화/헬스체크가 status exit code만 본다면 구멍이 남습니다.

src/cli/index.ts 라인 1406 근처 - 일반 ocx status 사람용 한 줄은 여전히 Remote hub: connected (url)만 찍습니다. --json에는 readiness가 있어도, 대시보드/사람 경로의 첫 인상은 #4207과 같은 함정일 수 있습니다. 본문이 범위 밖으로 적었으니 이번 PR에 강제하진 않습니다.

본문 Closes #4207 - 이슈는 이미 CLOSED입니다. 문구는 무해하지만 추적 신호로는 죽은 링크입니다. 필요하면 “남은 UX 절반 / follow-up to #4240” 정도로 고치는 편이 읽기 좋습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • ocx connect status가 incompatible일 때도 exit 0을 유지할지, 헬스체크용으로 non-zero를 줄지
  • 사람용 ocx status 한 줄에 readiness를 이번 PR에 넣을지, 별 follow-up으로 둘지(본문은 후자)
  • 호스티드 test shard·gates·docker smoke·npm-global windows가 초록이 될 때까지 Ready를 유지할지
  • #4207이 이미 닫혔으니 본문 Closes 줄을 지우거나 follow-up 문구로 바꿀지

너의 추천
CI(특히 cli 쪽 test shard와 gates)가 초록이면 dev에 바로 머지하세요. #4240 쓰기 게이트만으로는 운영자가 디스크에 남은 옛 카탈로그를 여전히 “connected + present”로 오해합니다. 이 PR이 그 표시/연결 실패 닫힘을 채웁니다. status exit code와 일반 ocx status 한 줄은 이번 범위 밖으로 두고 follow-up으로 남겨도 됩니다. unverified 통과 선은 #4240과 같게 유지하세요. types/config 분할과 무관하니 닫지 말고 착지시키세요.

Bound the installed catalog read.

installedCatalogFileState() accepts any regular DEFAULT_CATALOG_PATH, and readInstalledCatalogBody() then loads it with readFileSync for ocx connect status. This path bypasses the existing MAX_REMOTE_CATALOG_BYTES checks used during catalog download and connection setup. An oversized local catalog can therefore consume unbounded memory and block the CLI. Reject oversized files before inspection, and use a bounded read that remains safe if the file changes between the state check and read. Add a focused oversized-catalog test.

Gate Codex readiness reporting on selectedClients.

When selectedClients excludes "codex", runConnect still probes the installed catalog and can throw client_not_ready after connectClient stores the Claude-only connection. collectClientConnectionStatus also reports an unrelated Codex verdict. Guard both probes on selectedClients.includes("codex"). Omit readiness, readinessReason, and the Local Codex CLI status line when Codex is not selected. Add a Claude-only regression case in tests/cli/cli-connect-readiness.test.ts.

Encode catalog-derived values before reporting them.

parseModels accepts arbitrary model objects, and RawEntry has no field validation. catalogEffortCompatibility then returns catalog-provided effort and slug strings, which installedCatalogRejectionReason interpolates at src/client/catalog-compatibility.ts:141-150. The connected CLI reports this reason and throws it as client_not_ready, so ANSI control characters can alter terminal output.

Escape each catalog-derived value before composing the message. Add regression coverage for \u001b in both fields and assert that no raw escape character reaches the reason.

Bound the installed catalog read

ocx connect status reaches readInstalledCatalogBody() for connected clients, where readFileSync(DEFAULT_CATALOG_PATH, "utf8") materializes any regular file completely. An oversized local catalog can therefore consume excessive memory and terminate the CLI. Reuse the MAX_REMOTE_CATALOG_BYTES check already applied in src/client/connect.ts before reading, and return the existing unverified readiness result for oversized files.

Reuse one memoized catalog observation for both checks.

Skip the catalog compatibility assertion for Claude-only connections

src/cli/connect.ts:346 supplies the Codex observer for every selection, and src/client/connect.ts:553 asserts compatibility before the catalog write. Thus, --clients claude can fail on an incompatible Codex catalog before completion handling. Guard the assertion with options.selectedClients.includes("codex"). Do not only omit catalogCompatibility; the helper performs its own Codex probe when dependencies are absent. Keep the observer for Codex selections.

Describe invalid catalog structure accurately.

For valid JSON such as [] or null, parseModels(body) returns null. inspectClientCatalogReadiness then emits the incorrect readinessReason, which ocx connect status and ocx connect display to operators. This can direct troubleshooting toward invalid JSON bytes instead of the catalog structure.

Use wording that covers malformed JSON and invalid catalog structure, and add a regression test for valid JSON that is not a catalog object.

Proposed fix
     return parseModels(body) === null
-      ? { kind: "unverified", reason: "the installed catalog is not readable JSON, so the local Codex CLI cannot parse it either" }
+      ? { kind: "unverified", reason: "the installed catalog is not valid catalog JSON, so the local Codex CLI cannot parse it either" }

A connected client reported healthy while the installed Codex CLI exited
before its first request, because the catalog on disk used a reasoning
level that CLI does not know. Connection state proved the hub and the
credential; it never proved the selected local runtime could consume what
was written.

The write-time gate cannot answer this. It runs once, on bytes about to be
written, so it says nothing about a catalog that predates it, one written
while the runtime ladder was unverified, or a runtime swapped afterwards.

inspectClientCatalogReadiness assesses the installed file, and ocx connect
status, ocx status --json and ocx connect now report the verdict. Only
"ready" means ready; an unobservable runtime stays "unverified" rather than
becoming an incompatibility, which is the line the write-time gate already
refuses to cross. The probe runs only for a connected client, so no other
install pays a Codex process for it.

Closes #4207
Four things an independent read of the diff found.

A diagnostics command should not start writing runtime selection state: the
default observer now resolves the runtime without persisting and hands that
command to the catalog read, which also avoids a second probe on a path that
had already resolved it.

The ocx connect decision moves into a pure connectCompletionReport, so the
fail-closed exit is exercised without a hub. It prints the verdict first and
withholds "Connected to" when it fails, because a caller grepping that phrase
would otherwise read a broken catalog as success. A Claude-only connection is
told about an old Codex CLI but not failed by it, since nothing in that
connection launches Codex.

connectClient now receives the same observer, so the write-time gate and the
readiness check cannot disagree about the ladder inside one command.

An installed catalog that is not JSON gets its own sentence instead of the
gate's "downloaded" wording, and the subprocess fixture takes the same spawn
budget the neighbouring client fixtures use.
The previous commit only forwarded catalogCompatibility when a test had
injected it, so an ordinary ocx connect still let assertClientCatalogCompatible
fall back to its own default -- which persists runtime selection state and runs
a second probe. One command could then act on two separately observed ladders,
and the comment claiming otherwise was false. Both checks now build the
observer through one helper.
collectClientConnectionStatus observes the local ladder for a connected client, and observing it spawns codex debug models under a 45s budget. That is the point on ocx status and ocx connect status. config show is a different caller: it reads state, reason and token to answer whether the hub link is real, and it arrived on dev after this branch forked, so nothing here had declined the probe on its behalf.

Declining it explicitly keeps a read-only config dump from turning into a runtime probe - the same reasoning the readiness check already applies when it refuses to persist runtime selection state.

Bound the readiness catalog read

readInstalledCatalogBody() calls readFileSync(DEFAULT_CATALOG_PATH, "utf8") without checking stat.size against the existing MAX_REMOTE_CATALOG_BYTES limit. Connected status and runConnect() both pass the resulting string to inspectClientCatalogReadiness(), which parses it. A large regular catalog can therefore allocate both the full file text and its parsed object graph, exhausting process memory. Check the size before reading, or use a reader bounded by MAX_REMOTE_CATALOG_BYTES, matching the checks in src/client/connect.ts:109-116 and 121-125.

Reuse one observed Codex ladder for ocx connect (src/cli/connect.ts:346-351)

catalogObserver(...) is created separately for the write-time gate and the post-commit readiness check. Each check runs codex debug models again, so changed runtime output can make the committed connection fail with client_not_ready. Memoize one observed ladder for this invocation and pass that result to both checks.

Report catalog structure errors separately from JSON syntax errors

parseModels in src/client/catalog-compatibility.ts:63-70 returns null for both JSON syntax errors and valid JSON with an invalid top-level shape, such as []. Lines 182-184 then label both cases as “not readable JSON.” This reason reaches readinessReason in src/cli/connect.ts:180-196 and the ocx connect output in connectCompletionReport, directing operators toward JSON syntax when the catalog structure is the problem. Return distinct syntax and structural validation results, then provide a structure-specific remediation message.

Maintainer integration into dev per MAINTAINERS.md — integrating without a second maintainer approval, as the policy permits for dev with admin access. This is integration, not self-approval: no approving review has been submitted on my own work.

Rebased onto dev at ac3c3d66b (which already carries #4244 and #4248). One conflict, in both test-layout registries: dev had registered cli-config-show-client.test.ts in the same sorted slot this branch uses for cli-connect-readiness.test.ts. Resolved by keeping both, in sorted order — dropping either side un-registers a real test file, and the two guards fail with different signatures depending on which one goes.

Two things were added on top of the replay, from a review pass over the merged result:

6b04f13aeocx config show no longer inherits the Codex probe. collectClientConnectionStatus observes the local ladder for a connected client, and observing it spawns codex debug models under a 45s budget. That is deliberate on ocx status and ocx connect status. But dev grew a third caller after this branch forked — src/cli/config-command.ts calls it with no arguments to compare a token fingerprint — and the new third parameter defaults to {}, which means "probe". Merging as-was would have quietly given a read-only config dump a subprocess, against the same principle this PR already applies when it refuses to persist runtime selection state from a readiness check. That call site now declines the probe explicitly.

The same commit corrects a comment in tests/cli/cli-status-hub-state.test.ts that claimed "the connection block is untouched", which stops being true once connection.readiness exists.

Exact-head verification — 6b04f13ae:

  • Hosted CI green on that head across Linux, Windows and macOS. gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast exited 0; test 1-4/4, gates, macos 1-2/2, keyring x3, npm-global x3, docker smoke, storage policy, hygiene, enforce-target all pass.
  • Local: bun run typecheck exit 0.
  • Local: both test-layout guards plus cli-connect-readiness, cli-status-json and client-catalog-compatibility — 98 pass / 0 fail.
  • Local: cli-status-hub-state, cli-config-show-client and client-connect — 70 pass / 1 fail. That failure (transaction fixture stops a child retained after valid output) reproduces identically on a clean origin/dev worktree and passes when run in isolation, so it is a local parallel-run artifact, not a regression from this branch. The CI shard that owns it is green.

Merging with a merge commit, matching the convention on dev.
