 When the first trusted hook arrives, the plugin sender internally prepares the local backend and retries delivery of that same event. Users do not register task IDs or run `start`, `status`, or `doctor`. **Show Agents** reuses the healthy backend and attempts to open the live view in the Codex app without exposing a tokenized localhost URL or using an external browser.

 Plugin installation and lifecycle payloads were verified with Homebrew Codex CLI and the Codex executable embedded in the official app. However, a real-use attempt that installed and enabled `0.2.0` in an already-running official app process delivered zero events while two subagents ran. The monitor, registration, enablement, and installed bundle were healthy, while app logs showed no sender invocation. Evidence indicates that the same process retained a pre-install `hooks/list` snapshot; persisted exact-hook trust is not exposed through CLI JSON, so the precise skip boundary remains unconfirmed.

+The unpublished `0.4.3` candidate preserves that app-only workflow and adds restart-safe live-view authentication. A user-only private viewer credential is separate from the runtime/control token and persists for the installed plugin's lifetime. The viewer credential can read `/api/state` but cannot ingest hook events or request shutdown; the runtime/control token rotates with the monitor process. Installing `0.4.3` over `0.4.2` seeds a missing viewer credential from the valid legacy runtime token without printing it, so an already-open Codex live tab can reconnect after the backend restarts on the same loopback origin. This credential continuity does not persist task state: restart still begins an empty bounded in-memory observation window.
 
 ## Boundaries
 
 Codex Agent View is a live companion, not a historical audit or session-replay product. Bounded in-memory state and reset-on-restart semantics are intentional: they keep privacy and failure boundaries small. SQLite or persistent history is not a missing requirement. Consider it only as a separate explicit opt-in feature if demonstrated user demand justifies retention, migration, deletion, and privacy costs.

 - The plugin card's **Quick start** action is the primary UX; `@codex-agent-view $show-agents` manually invokes the same bundled skill again after a panel is closed. Neither path requires starting a monitor or registering task IDs.
 - npm is the initial installation path that distributes the plugin bundle, its internal hook sender/runtime, and static UI to the user's machine.
 - The live view opens in the Codex app only after an explicit `$show-agents` skill invocation; it is not an external website or telemetry dashboard.

+- The public plugin API cannot create a sidebar, panel, or Browser tab without a prompt at app startup. The first live view needs one in-app skill selection; an already-open tab refreshes and reconnects across temporary disconnects, monitor restarts, and upgrades while the same installation-owned viewer credential and loopback origin remain available.
 - The Universal Plugins Directory does not replace npm. A public in-app custom UI path requires a public HTTPS MCP server and domain verification, which conflicts with this project's local-only, no-external-server boundary. Only a separate listing/skills submission remains under consideration; do not expect Directory search installation until review and publication actually finish.
