 |---|---|
 | Antigravity CLI | 1.2.7 on darwin-arm64, captured in print mode, and every later release by the forward rule. Only `SessionStart`, `PreInvocation`, `PostInvocation` and `Stop` load; `SessionEnd`, `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` are accepted into the config file and silently dropped, so there is no tool guard and no session-end deregistration - a session goes offline by presence age or an explicit `acc finish`. Payloads carry no `hook_event_name`, so each registered command passes its own event name. The end-of-turn `Stop` continuation reaches the model and is a bounded nudge, not a gate: ACC continues a turn at most once and fails open, and the client caps consecutive continuations itself (vendor 1.1.9). `agy agentapi send-message` can wake an idle session - captured - but only with that session's language-server address and CSRF token, which exist in the agent's own shell and in no hook; reply routing is false. A peer message that arrives while the model writes its last answer is carried by the `Stop` continuation instead. A write that parses can register nothing, so install and doctor read `agy -p "/hooks"` back instead of trusting the file. Live push (1.2.7, darwin-arm64, TUI only, experimental, recorded opt-in) runs through a relay the agent starts once per conversation from its own shell - the only process holding the session endpoint - after ACC's context asks it to, up to three times while none is serving; install allows that command too, so the agent starts the relay without a prompt (1.2.16, 2026-10-04); on Windows, where install adds no rule, the operator approves it at the client's permission prompt. An idle session wakes; a busy one sees the message after its running answer, or at the next model invocation when the turn waits on a tool. Print mode and the first session in a folder trusted at that launch get no relay. The client asks before every shell command (1.2.12), so install adds the prefix rule `command(<wrapper>)` to the client's settings, except on Windows, to let the woken agent's ACC commands run without that prompt. A woken session answered with no prompt under that rule on 1.2.12 (2026-09-28); print mode with it has not been captured. On Windows the relay listens on a named pipe, `\\.\pipe\acc-relay-<32 hex>`, starts with `node`, and runs `agy.exe` itself, never a `.cmd`, since the message reaches agy as an argument. |
 | Antigravity 2.0 (desktop app) | 2.19.1 on darwin-arm64, captured 2026-10-04. The app runs the same `~/.gemini/config/hooks.json` under its own language server, with no `agy`, so ACC identifies the session by that server and the version on its command line (`--override_ide_version`), and judges it by the desktop's own evidence, never by Antigravity CLI's version line. `SessionStart` and `PreInvocation` fire; a peer message reaches the model at the next model invocation. Live push (2.19.1, darwin-arm64, experimental, recorded opt-in) needs no relay and no command from the agent: ACC reads the endpoint from the language server's command line when it binds and when it delivers, keeps the token only in one `agentapi` child's environment, and pushes into the conversation through the server's own `agentapi`. A product capture passed all six cases: an idle conversation woke with no user input; a push during a long answer was shown after it, uninterrupted; the woken agent answered with `acc reply` without an approval prompt; a resent message reached the model once; with the app quit the message stayed queued; after a restart the conversation's next turn bound it again. The app runs no `SessionStart` for a conversation it reopens, so after a restart live delivery returns at that next turn. One language server serves every window and conversation, so a desktop participant goes offline when the app quits. The app runs the agent's commands in a sandbox where ACC's wrapper cannot run; the model then retries outside it, which the app allows by the grants in `~/.gemini/config/config.json`, and install adds ACC's rule there once the app has run. Installing the integration still needs Antigravity CLI, whose `agy -p "/hooks"` reads the registration back. |
-| Codex | Next-turn context, captured on 0.147.0, requires plugin trust. The observed stock 0.153.4 upgrade from ACC 0.3.1 to 0.4 required fresh review of five modified hook definitions; a subsequent restart retained all five active (activation evidence, not new event certification). LocalDaemon native delivery was captured through the installed package on 0.152.1 and 0.153.4, darwin-arm64; minimum 0.152.1, recorded opt-in, current feature probe and exact thread/cwd/process/version/protocol checks are required. Ordinary launch preserves the receiver workspace without ACC arguments or daemon ownership. On Windows, where Node cannot open the daemon's AF_UNIX socket, ACC speaks the same protocol over the stdio of `codex app-server proxy` (measured on 0.159.3); Codex starts its daemon only from a terminal that is not elevated. Embedded or unreachable sessions keep their inbox. The Codex app (inside ChatGPT.app, read on 26.928) runs every chat on a private app server over stdio rather than the shared daemon (openai/codex#41014); its chats run ACC's hooks, receive messages at their next turn, and are reported as `client_session_embedded`. Native `replyRoute` remains false. |

 | Claude Code | 2.1.233 next-turn delivery waits for the next user prompt. From 2.1.282, captured on darwin-arm64 and applied on every platform, `delivery.livePush` is a live capability behind the native contract (experimental, off until opted in). ACC wakes the session through the inbox socket that Claude Code opens for every session, with one line of fixed ACC text and the message id. An idle session starts a turn. A busy session takes the wake between two tool calls. Each delivered wake fires `UserPromptSubmit`, so the next-turn hook shows the body and records the receipt `offered` via `next-turn`. The model answers with `acc reply`, so `delivery.replyRoute` stays false. A session in `bypassPermissions` mode holds each wake for approval unless `crossSessionInbound` is `accept`, and `refuse` drops wakes. Claude.app runs a local Code session on a Claude Code build of its own with the same `~/.claude`: such a session registers the same inbox (`entrypoint: claude-desktop`), and on 2.1.286 (2026-10-04) an idle one woke and answered with `acc reply` with no adapter change. Its Cloud, SSH and Cowork sessions run on another machine. ACC takes a session's version from the record Claude Code keeps for that process, because the `claude` on `PATH` can be another build. On native Windows the inbox is a named pipe, `\\.\pipe\LOCAL\cc-msg-<32 hex>`, that drops a frame without an auth line; ACC authenticates with the peer key Claude Code publishes beside the session record for other sessions of the same user, never the session's own token, so the recipient's inbound settings apply as on POSIX. Measured on 2.1.286; the real-clients CI job wakes an idle interactive Claude Code on Linux and on Windows. |
 | Gemini CLI | Package-shipped next-turn certification starts at 0.57.0. Its TUI has no captured external wake or queue interface and `--acp` changes launch ownership, so native delivery is fallback-only; live push and reply routing remain false. |
 | Grok | The Grok 1.0.24 installed-client check observed own CLI arguments after a terminal result, followed by owned work, message, and finish calls. This identity-only path does not certify peer-context injection. Documentation-shaped payloads do not count as real captures. The public leader surface exposed no proven addressed injection into an ordinary TUI session, so native delivery is `awaiting_compatibility_capture`; all capabilities remain false. |

+### Codex command approval
+
+Codex asks before a command that wants to leave its sandbox. With
+`approvals_reviewer = "auto_review"`, a model reviews that request instead of you, and it can
+refuse an ACC message that names a branch or a path as disclosure to an outside party. So
+`acc install` adds ACC's own rules file on macOS and Linux:
+
+```text
+~/.codex/rules/agents-can-communicate.rules
+  prefix_rule(pattern = ["<home>/.agents/acc-local/plugins/agents-can-communicate/acc-cli.sh",
+                         ["work", "claim", "release", "message", "request", "inbox", "reply",
+                          "ack", "status", "sync", "finish"]],
+              decision = "allow")
+```
+
+Codex loads every `*.rules` file in that directory. A command the rule allows needs no
+approval, so no reviewer sees it. Only ACC's wrapper and only the commands a participant runs
+are allowed: `acc install`, `uninstall`, `update` and `config` still ask. Install does not ask
+about the rule; it is part of ACC's Codex integration, as its hooks are. A file of that name
+that ACC did not write stays yours, and ACC adds no rule then. So does ACC's file once you edit
+it, for example to take a command out: reinstall and update leave it as it is, and doctor
+reports it as edited. A wrapper path that a rule cannot
+hold as it is gets none either. `acc uninstall` removes the file while it is unchanged, and
+`acc doctor` asks for `acc install --adapter codex` when it is missing. Windows gets no rule:
+how Codex matches a PowerShell command against one is unmeasured.
