+# Architecture
+
+Codex WebApp is a small, local adapter for people who already have the macOS
+Codex App installed on their Mac. It does not replace Codex App and it does not ship a
+separate Codex runtime. The package prepares the renderer that is already on
+the user's machine, serves it on a local web address, and bridges browser
+requests to the local Codex command-line tools.
+
+## What The Package Includes
+
+The npm package includes the adapter code:
+
+- a command-line wrapper for `doctor`, `start`, and `smoke`
+- local server code that serves static renderer files from the user's cache
+- a small browser preload and bridge layer for local app-server communication
+- tests, docs, and public support files
+
+The package does not bundle or publish user or vendor runtime artifacts:
+
+- no Codex/OpenAI binaries
+- no `app.asar`
+- no pre-extracted `webview/` directory
+- no tokens, cookies, session IDs, or private keys
+- no signed URLs
+- no private session database
+- no repository contents, prompts, customer data, or other user data
+
+In short: the npm package is the adapter. The renderer source remains the Codex
+App that the user installed locally.
+
+## Runtime Flow
+
+When a user runs `codex-webapp start`, the adapter does this on the local
+machine:
+
+1. Locates Codex App.
+   By default it expects `/Applications/Codex.app`. Users can override this
+   with `CODEX_APP_PATH` or point directly at a local archive with
+   `CODEX_WEBAPP_CODEX_ASAR`.
+2. Reads the local Codex App renderer archive.
+   The expected archive is `Contents/Resources/app.asar` inside the app bundle.
+3. Extracts only the `webview/` tree.
+   The files are copied into `~/.cache/codex-webapp/<fingerprint>/webview/`.
+   Other archive contents are not served.
+4. Serves the prepared renderer.
+   The local HTTP server defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:8214/` and serves the
+   cached static files with normal cache headers.
+5. Bridges browser calls to the local Codex app server.
+   The adapter starts `codex app-server --listen stdio://` when browser IPC
+   needs it, speaks JSON over stdio, and keeps that process local to the host.
+
+The extraction cache is local machine state. It is not included in the npm
+package and is not uploaded by this project. Users can remove it by deleting
+`~/.cache/codex-webapp/`; the adapter will prepare it again on the next start.
+
+## Adapter Responsibilities
+
+Codex WebApp owns these public, package-level responsibilities:
+
+| Area | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| Codex App discovery | Find the user's local Codex App or accept explicit local paths through environment variables. |
+| Local extraction | Read the local `app.asar`, extract only `webview/`, transform the local `index.html` enough to load the browser bridge, and cache the result under the user's home directory. |
+| Static UI serving | Serve the prepared renderer on a localhost-first HTTP server and block unsafe path traversal requests. |
+| App-server bridge | Start and communicate with the local `codex app-server` process over stdio for browser-side app calls. |
+| `doctor` | Check that Codex CLI is installed, new enough, and exposes the expected local commands. |
+| `start` | Confirm the binding, prepare the renderer, and start the local server. |
+| `smoke` | Verify that the local URL responds, and optionally capture browser evidence. |
+
+## Local-First Boundary
+
+The default binding is `127.0.0.1`. A non-loopback host requires an explicit
+`--allow-non-loopback` flag because anyone who can reach the UI may be able to
+operate Codex on that machine.
+
+For phone or remote access, keep the raw UI behind a trusted access boundary
+such as Tailscale, Cloudflare Access, WireGuard, or SSH tunneling. Codex WebApp
+does not provide hosted access, identity, or account management.
+
+## Public Documentation Boundary
+
+This repository should describe the adapter in practical terms: what it starts,
+what it reads locally, what it caches locally, and how users can verify it. Keep
+the wording friendly and concrete. Avoid implying that the package contains
+Codex App, OpenAI binaries, private session material, or customer data.

+# Clean Release Verification
+
+Status: release operator checklist for public Codex WebApp package readiness.
+
+This gate gives release operators a repeatable public-repo check before publishing or handing off a release candidate. It is bounded evidence, not a guarantee of release safety.
+
+## Command
+
+From a clean checkout of this public repo:
+
+```bash
+npm ci
+npm run verify:clean-release
+```
+
+The command runs:
+
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run check:public-boundary`
+- `npm pack --dry-run`
+- `npm run start:dry-run` when the package exposes that script
+
+It also inspects package metadata, the dry-run pack file list, and source-tree paths for private engine package names, bundled Codex App artifacts, pre-extracted renderer payloads, credential-looking paths, session database-looking paths, customer-data-looking paths, and private dependency specs.
+
+The path scan intentionally allows public docs to name excluded artifacts so the boundary remains explainable. Do not add private implementation notes, patent-sensitive details, secrets, binary fixtures, `app.asar`, extracted renderer files, screenshots, private repo content, or private package dependencies to this repository.
+
+## Optional Private Engine Check
+
+If the private engine repository is available locally, include it without making this public package depend on it:
+
+```bash
+npm run verify:clean-release -- --private-engine-dir /private/tmp/penso-render-envelope
+```
+
+The same path can be provided with:
+
+```bash
+PENSO_RENDER_ENVELOPE_DIR=/private/tmp/penso-render-envelope npm run verify:clean-release
+```
+
+When the private repo path is absent, the gate reports a `SKIP` for private engine checks and still verifies the public package. That skip is expected for public contributors and clean npm install environments.
+
+The optional private check runs only the private repo's `npm test` and `npm pack --dry-run`. It does not copy private files into this repo or add a package dependency.
+
+## Empty Directory Package Check
+
+For a clean install-style proof, create a temporary directory outside this repo and install from the dry-run tarball or current public npm package:
+
+```bash
+tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
+npm pack --pack-destination "$tmpdir"
+cd "$tmpdir"
+npm init -y
+npm install ./codex-webapp-*.tgz
+npx codex-webapp start --dry-run
+```
+
+For the already-published package, use:
+
+```bash
+tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
+cd "$tmpdir"
+npm init -y
+npx -y codex-webapp@latest doctor
+npx -y codex-webapp@latest start --dry-run
+```
+
+Keep outputs redacted. Do not attach credentials, local app archives, extracted renderer files, private repo listings, or user data.
+
+## Local Browser Smoke Evidence
+
+On a Mac with Codex App installed, release evidence may include a local browser smoke run:
+
+```bash
+npx -y codex-webapp start
+npx -y codex-webapp smoke --browser --url http://127.0.0.1:8214/
+```
+
+Screenshots are optional and should be attached only after review for tokens, cookies, prompts, private repository contents, customer data, internal URLs, or other sensitive material.
+
+## Evidence To Attach
+
+Attach concise, redacted evidence:
+
+- commit hash and branch
+- `npm ci`
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run check:public-boundary`
+- `npm run verify:clean-release`
+- optional private engine check result or the explicit `SKIP`
+- `npm pack --dry-run`
+- empty-directory install or public `npx` dry-run proof when performed
+- local Codex.app browser smoke result when performed
+
+The evidence should show whether each check passed, failed, or was skipped. Avoid claiming complete detection or absolute protection.

+# Codex WebApp Distribution Boundary Decision
+
+Status: accepted for PAN-1596.
+
+## Decision
+
+Codex WebApp remains a public-install-independent npm package. `npx codex-webapp` must work from the public npm registry without GitHub credentials, private package registry credentials, or access to a private engine repository.
+
+The package will not depend on `penso-render-envelope` or any other private engine package at runtime. The public package owns only the local Codex App renderer bridge, public docs, and public-safe checks needed to start and smoke-test the installed Codex App renderer.
+
+Future integration with private rendering work requires a new approval step and one of these public-safe paths:
+
+- a generated subset that contains only reviewed public-safe code and metadata
+- a separately licensed package that can be installed from a public or approved registry without private repository credentials
+
+An adapter or interface boundary is preferred over transforming private implementation into public code. A generated subset is allowed only after review because comments, metadata, control flow, or test fixtures can still reveal private engine mechanics even when direct secrets are removed.
+
+## Rejected Options
+
+- Direct private GitHub dependency in `package.json` or `package-lock.json`: rejected because public `npx` installs would require private credentials and would fail for normal npm users.
+- Runtime fetch from a private repository or private package registry: rejected because it turns first run into an authentication-dependent install path and can expose private infrastructure assumptions.
+- Vendoring private engine internals into this public package: rejected because it risks publishing private implementation detail and changes the licensing and IP surface without approval.
+- Embedding patent claim text or private engine design notes in public docs: rejected because the package only needs the distribution boundary, not protected claim language or private internals.
+
+## License And IP Notes
+
+This repository is public and distributed under its existing Apache-2.0 license. That license should apply only to the public code and docs intentionally shipped here. Private engine code, generated artifacts, or separately licensed packages need an explicit approval and compatibility review before being added to this package or its runtime path.
+
+This note is an engineering distribution decision, not legal advice. It avoids making ownership, patent scope, or licensing conclusions beyond the public package boundary.
+
+## Guardrail
+
+`npm test` includes a public package boundary guard. The guard fails if `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, or the `npm pack --dry-run --json` file list shows private package names, GitHub dependency specs, private registry URLs, local `file:` or `link:` dependency specs, workspace dependency specs, install lifecycle scripts, non-public npm `publishConfig.registry`, or private-boundary pack paths such as `.npmrc`, `.env`, secrets directories, or a bundled private engine directory.
+
+The guard intentionally checks dependency and package contents paths rather than every word in docs. Public documentation may name the boundary and the private package to explain what is not included, but package code should not dynamically import or fetch it, and docs must not expose private engine internals or patent claim text.
+
+Counterproof review for this decision specifically called out dependency confusion, lockfile `resolved` URL leakage, `optionalDependencies`, install lifecycle scripts, and IP bleed from generated subsets. The accepted follow-up was to keep all dependency collections under the guard, add install lifecycle and private registry checks, and document adapter-first future integration.
