+# Codex Desktop task monitoring triggers
+
+This applies only to explicitly named Codex Desktop tasks with a registered
+Codex app heartbeat. It does not make the CLI daemon a Desktop task controller.
+Freeze the requested outcome, acceptance IDs, exact task/operation identity,
+authorized recovery actions, observation cadence, and time/cost limits before
+registration. A scheduler firing is an observation, not delivery progress.
+
+| Trigger | Required observation | Response |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Creation or delegation accepted | Preserve the provider/host and pending operation ID; resolve a canonical task ID and inspect its actual turn state with supported tools. | Continue bounded resolution. Never claim execution started from a client ID or list entry, and never submit a replacement while identity is ambiguous. |
+| First scheduled observation of a known idle work task | Acceptance work remains, no turn is running, safe work is authorized, and no recorded external wait or human decision explains the idle state. | Mark `stalled`. A recovery-authorized monitor sends one resume message to the **same** task ID and verifies a new turn starts. A read-only monitor reports the stall and owner. |
+| Two consecutive scheduled observations with no acceptance progress while active | Compare the same acceptance IDs and revision-bound evidence, then inspect the task's current work and external waits. | Classify an actual stall only after inspection. Replan or report the blocker; do not restart an active task or call monitor/tool activity progress. |
+| Pending creation remains unresolved after the provider's own timeout, or two scheduled observations when no timeout is available | The original operation still has no authoritative resource mapping. | Report unresolved identity and the owner; keep the original operation for recovery. Do not create another task on an absent list entry. |
+| A previously documented external wait changes or reaches its deadline | Recheck the exact dependency and its owner/resumption condition. | Resume only when the dependency is cleared and the original authority permits it; otherwise report a material blocker once. Unchanged waiting is quiet. |
+| Task reaches a terminal turn or a claimed result | Check the result and original acceptance evidence independently. | Continue authorized unmet work, report a concrete blocker, or stop monitoring only after the accepted outcome is proven. |
+| Monitor or authority limit reached | Check scheduler status, task identity, retry/time/cost budget, and any stop request. | Pause or stop and report what remains. The monitor cannot detect its own missed scheduler runs without another external observer. |
+
+For an hourly heartbeat, the first confirmed idle observation is actionable;
+the active/no-progress comparison needs two consecutive hourly snapshots.
+Record the last observation, acceptance-evidence version, and resume message
+identity in the existing task context. Before any wake, inspect the same task's
+history for a prior wake at that evidence version. Allow at most one wake per
+unchanged acceptance version; re-arm only after independently observed outcome
+progress or a new direct user instruction. If wake history is unavailable,
+fail closed and report rather than risk duplicate dispatch. After sending a
+resume message, confirm an actual in-progress turn with a bounded wait/read.
+The message alone is neither a successful restart nor outcome progress.
+
+Notify on the first confirmed stall, a failed/unconfirmed restart, a material
+acceptance change, a new blocker, a reached limit, or verified completion.
+Do not notify for a healthy unchanged run or unchanged external wait unless
+the user explicitly requested periodic status. A missed heartbeat cannot
+notify by itself; full liveness assurance requires a separately operated
+watchdog of the scheduler/host.

 ## Monitor verdict and policy action
 
+The controller persists `thread_state.objective_contract` with the baseline,
+current version, digest and explicit human revision lineage. Each attempt stores
+`outcome_progress` with its objective digest, independently supported criterion
+IDs, unproven IDs and assessment availability. A repeated unproven set without
+new independently supported IDs opens `OUTCOME_PROGRESS_STALLED`; this prevents
+automatic retries across changing commits. An old review cannot settle a newer
+objective version. Legacy snapshots without an objective contract remain
+readable but lose completion status on restore; their original baseline cannot
+be reconstructed retrospectively. `USER-GOAL` is tracked separately from
+caller-supplied criteria and requires direct independent outcome evidence.
+
+The executor can propose evidence, and the independent auditor can assess it.
+Only the controller computes the progress verdict and state transition. No new
+database is required. The CLI writes a redacted private local snapshot before
+publishing a state, restores it after restart, and retries Web ledger updates.
+The authenticated daemon periodically rechecks PR-ready runs while it is
+running. Neither the local record nor the daemon proves that a user outcome
+was achieved without independent operation and postcondition evidence.
