+# Side-effects review — Tests follow-up: deleted provider + helper refactor
+
+**Version / slug:** `tests-followup-deleted-provider-and-refactor`
+**Date:** `2026-05-18`
+**Author:** Echo
+**Second-pass reviewer:** self-review — tests-only update; no source behavior change.
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md` (Rule 2 — AnthropicIntelligenceProvider deletion + Phase 3a chokepoint relocation).
+
+## Summary
+
+Two CI-only test regressions surfaced after the bracket fix unblocked Type Check:
+
+1. **`tests/unit/burn-detection-phase-1.test.ts`** — imported the deleted `AnthropicIntelligenceProvider` and exercised its Phase-1 wiring (attribution_key + rate-gate). Provider-portability v1.0.0 deleted that file per Rule 2; the new chokepoint is `src/providers/adapters/anthropic-headless/` which has its own dedicated test suite. The obsolete wiring tests are removed; the file's other sections (attributionKey, LlmRateGate, TokenLedger, lint-no-direct-llm-http) remain intact and continue to pass. The lint-allowlist test now points at the new chokepoint file (`anthropic-headless/transport/oneShotCompletion.ts`).
+
+2. **`tests/unit/session-reap-detect.test.ts`** — asserted on inlined `'CLAUDECODE='` text inside `SessionManager.spawnSession`. The provider-portability refactor extracted that env-override into the `buildHeadlessLaunch` helper in `src/core/frameworkSessionLaunch.ts`. The assertion now checks both layers: SessionManager wires through `buildHeadlessLaunch`, and the helper sets `CLAUDECODE: ''` as an env override.
+
+These are not pre-existing failures — they were caused by the v1.0.0 source-level changes and surface as test failures because the test files asserted on the prior shape. Per the "refactors break tests that assert on inlined content" memory, this is the expected follow-up shape.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **Drop obsolete wiring tests** — `change`. The deleted provider has no replacement at the same abstraction level; the anthropic-headless adapter is tested in its own suite.
+- **Update inlined-content assertion** — `change`. Match the new two-layer reality (caller wires through helper, helper sets env).
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+CI Unit Tests are structural authority. Update unblocks the gate; no new gates introduced.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** None.
+**Under-block:** The attribution-wiring contract for the new chokepoint is covered by the anthropic-headless suite. Lint-allowlist coverage continues to assert the new chokepoint file is in the allowlist (was previously asserting the deleted file).
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Zero behavioral risk. Reverting would re-introduce the same CI failures.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Local: `npx vitest run --shard=2/4 / 3/4 / 4/4` all green (196/196, 196/196, 193/193).
+- CI re-runs all 8 shards on push.

+# Side-effects review — Tier 1.A fix Codex launch flag shape
+
+**Version / slug:** `tier-1a-fix-codex-launch-flags`
+**Date:** `2026-05-16`
+**Author:** Echo (instar-developing agent)
+**Second-pass reviewer:** not required (flag-shape correction caught by inspecting `codex --help` output; bundled with the v1.0.0 launch dispatch from earlier this hour)
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md`
+
+## Summary of the change
+
+Tier 1.A (commit 218739be) introduced a Codex interactive launch builder that emitted `--sandbox danger-full-access` plus `--resume <id>`. Inspecting the real `codex --help` output revealed two issues:
+
+1. **Sandbox mode**: `danger-full-access` is valid but removes the sandbox entirely, which is more permissive than the Claude equivalent (`--dangerously-skip-permissions` means "no approval prompts," NOT "no sandbox"). The agentic-but-safe equivalent is `--sandbox workspace-write` (writes restricted to the project) plus `--ask-for-approval never`. Switched the default to this shape.
+
+2. **Resume**: Codex's `--resume` is a SUBCOMMAND (`codex resume <id>`), not a flag. Passing it as a flat flag would have made codex exit with an error. The current TopicResumeMap is shaped around flag-style resume; rather than wire up the subcommand variant now (which needs TopicResumeMap generalization), the builder skips `--resume` for Codex and emits a console warning, so the session starts fresh. Resume for Codex topics lands in a follow-up.
+
+Files touched:
+- `src/core/frameworkSessionLaunch.ts` — Codex builder updated.
+- `tests/unit/frameworkSessionLaunch.test.ts` — 2 affected tests updated.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **`workspace-write` vs `danger-full-access`** — `add` (workspace-write). Matches Claude's sandbox semantics: agent acts autonomously but writes are bounded to the project. Codex's `danger-full-access` removes the sandbox, which is a privilege escalation Claude users never opted into.
+- **Skip `--resume` for Codex** — `defer`. Implementing the subcommand form (`codex resume <id>`) requires the launch path to know whether to spawn `codex SUBCOMMAND ARGS` instead of `codex ARGS`. The current Tier 1.A builder shape returns a flat argv; supporting subcommands needs a small refactor I don't want to land in this fix. Warning emitted so Justin sees it when he tests.
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+Pure flag-shape correction. No signal/authority surface affected.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** Codex sessions can no longer break out of the workspace, which is a tighter default than before. Operators wanting `danger-full-access` can still set it explicitly via `codexSandboxMode`. This is the right direction for safety.
+
+**Under-block:** None — `--ask-for-approval never` preserves the autonomous-action contract Justin needs.
+
+## Level-of-abstraction fit
+
+Stays inside `frameworkSessionLaunch.ts`. No new abstractions.
+
+## Interactions
+
+- All Codex topic-spawn sites get the safer flag shape.
+- No public interface change.
+
+## External surfaces
+
+None.
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Trivial.
+
+## Tests / verification
+
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- 12 launch-builder tests still pass after updating the two affected expectations (`--sandbox` default + `--resume` not-supported).
+- Verified against real `codex --help` output that `workspace-write` and `--ask-for-approval never` are valid flags.

+# Side-effects review — Tier 1.A spawnInteractiveSession framework dispatch + per-topic override
+
+**Version / slug:** `tier-1a-spawn-interactive-framework-dispatch`
+**Date:** `2026-05-16`
+**Author:** Echo (instar-developing agent)
+**Second-pass reviewer:** not required (extracted hardcoded Claude args into a per-framework builder; existing Claude shape preserved byte-for-byte; new Codex path opt-in via topic config)
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md`
+
+## Summary of the change
+
+Before this change, `SessionManager.spawnInteractiveSession` hardcoded the Claude CLI's argv inline:
+
+```
+tmuxArgs.push(this.config.claudePath, '--dangerously-skip-permissions');
+if (options?.resumeSessionId) tmuxArgs.push('--resume', options.resumeSessionId);
+```
+
+That made every Telegram-driven session spawn a Claude session — even on a Codex-configured agent. Combined with the wrong CLI flags (`--dangerously-skip-permissions` is Claude-specific; Codex uses `--sandbox danger-full-access`), Codex installs couldn't spawn any session via the Telegram path. This was the foundational gap blocking Justin's "swap between modes in normal Telegram topics" workflow.
+
+Fix (three parts):
+
+1. **New `frameworkSessionLaunch.ts` module**: per-framework builders return `{ argv, envOverrides }` for an interactive launch. Claude builder preserves the v0.x shape exactly; Codex builder uses `--sandbox danger-full-access` (the agentic-equivalent permission grant) with optional `--resume <id>`.
+
+2. **`spawnInteractiveSession` dispatch**: new optional `framework` parameter in the options bag. The function resolves a binary path from `SessionManagerConfig.frameworkBinaryPaths` (a new map populated from detection at `loadConfig` time), then calls the framework's builder, then merges env overrides into the tmux `-e` flags. Defaults to `claude-code` so unset callers behave identically to v0.x.
+
+3. **Per-topic config override**: new `topicFrameworks?: Record<string, 'claude-code' | 'codex-cli'>` on `InstarConfig`. Maps a Telegram topic ID to the framework that should run sessions for that topic. `spawnSessionForTopic` and `respawnSessionForTopic` consult the map via `resolveTopicFramework(topicId)` (module-level helper in server.ts) and thread the resolved framework into `spawnInteractiveSession`. Lets Justin flip topic 9999 to Codex without changing the agent's overall framework.
+
+Files touched:
+- `src/core/frameworkSessionLaunch.ts` — new, ~125 LOC.
+- `src/core/SessionManager.ts` — `spawnInteractiveSession` argv/env block now uses the builder. `framework` accepted in options.
+- `src/core/types.ts` — `SessionManagerConfig.frameworkBinaryPaths` field added; `InstarConfig.topicFrameworks` field added.
+- `src/core/Config.ts` — populates `frameworkBinaryPaths` from detection at load time.
+- `src/commands/server.ts` — `_topicFrameworks` / `_defaultFramework` module state + `resolveTopicFramework()` helper; `spawnSessionForTopic` threads framework into `spawnInteractiveSession`.
+- `tests/unit/frameworkSessionLaunch.test.ts` — new, 12 tests.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **Per-framework builder vs inline if/else** — `add` (builder). One TypeScript `Record<IntelligenceFramework, Builder>` keeps additions one-line (Gemini, Aider, etc.); inline ifs would spread Codex flags across every spawn call site.
+- **`framework` as spawnInteractiveSession option vs new method** — `add` (option). Adding a parameter keeps the diff small; new method would force every existing caller to either choose or migrate. Default of `'claude-code'` preserves v0.x exactly for callers that omit.
+- **Per-topic map vs per-session config** — `add` (per-topic). The use case is "topic 9984 runs Claude subscription, topic 9985 runs Codex" — a stable mapping that survives session deaths and respawns. Per-session config would re-prompt every spawn.
+- **Codex sandbox default `danger-full-access`** — `add`. Justin wants agentic Codex behavior (file edits, shell execution); Claude's `--dangerously-skip-permissions` is the precedent. Operators wanting tighter sandboxes can override via `codexSandboxMode` if/when we add that to the config.
+- **Don't touch `spawnSession` (headless prompt) or the other interactive variant in this slice** — `defer`. Those paths are job-driven, not Telegram-driven; Justin's test goal is the topic flow. The same builder pattern can be applied incrementally without risking the Telegram path.
+- **Don't add Agent SDK path in this slice** — `defer`. The Agent SDK is a programmatic SDK invocation, not a tmux'd CLI — it needs a different spawn pattern (Node process running an SDK driver) and a new env-credential flow ($200/mo Max 20x billing bucket per the June 2026 credit notice). Tracked as a follow-up.
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+The launch builder is recognition data — given a framework + binary path, what CLI shape does it expect? It carries no authority over which framework spawns; that decision lives upstream in the per-topic config and the env-var default. Clean separation: config decides which framework, builder produces the right launch shape.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** None. Claude builder is byte-equivalent to the v0.x inline code (`--dangerously-skip-permissions` plus optional `--resume <id>`). Existing Claude installs that don't set `topicFrameworks` behave identically.
+
+**Under-block:** A user could set `topicFrameworks: { "9984": "codex-cli" }` without Codex installed; the binary-path lookup would fail and an explicit error message names the framework (`No binary path available for framework "codex-cli"`). No silent fallback to Claude, which is the right call — silent fallback would mislead the user.
+
+## Level-of-abstraction fit
+
+- `frameworkSessionLaunch.ts` lives next to other framework abstractions (`intelligenceProviderFactory.ts`).
+- `SessionManagerConfig.frameworkBinaryPaths` is the right home for per-framework binary lookups — SessionManager already owns binary path resolution.
+- `InstarConfig.topicFrameworks` is at the config root because per-topic override is a user-facing config feature, not an internal session-manager concern.
+- Exhaustiveness on `Record<IntelligenceFramework, Builder>` forces every new framework to register a builder.
+
+## Interactions
+
+- `SessionManager.spawnSession` (headless one-shot) — NOT touched in this slice. Still Claude-only.
+- `SessionManager.spawnInteractiveSession` (the Telegram path) — receives optional `framework`. Existing callers without the field get Claude (default).
+- `spawnSessionForTopic` / `respawnSessionForTopic` (server.ts) — both threaded through `resolveTopicFramework(topicId)`.
+- WhatsApp / iMessage / Slack auto-spawn paths — still use the legacy spawnInteractiveSession shape (no framework arg), so they default to Claude. Justin's stated scope is Telegram; non-Telegram channels can be migrated incrementally without urgency.
+- All sentinels (Watchdog, OrphanReaper, StallTriageNurse) already framework-aware via Tiers 2.B/2.C/2.E.
+
+## External surfaces
+
+- New optional config field: `topicFrameworks` at the InstarConfig root. Schema:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "topicFrameworks": {
+      "9984": "claude-code",
+      "9985": "codex-cli"
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+- No new endpoints / env vars.
+- Boot-log behavior unchanged.
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Trivial. The change is additive: omitting `framework` from spawnInteractiveSession options preserves Claude behavior exactly.
+
+## Tests / verification
+
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- New tests: `tests/unit/frameworkSessionLaunch.test.ts` — 12 cases covering:
+  - Claude argv shape regression (`--dangerously-skip-permissions` byte-for-byte).
+  - Claude `--resume <id>` append.
+  - Codex argv shape (`--sandbox danger-full-access` default).
+  - Codex `codexSandboxMode` override.
+  - Codex `--resume <id>` append.
+  - `CLAUDECODE=` env-clear present for both frameworks.
+  - `resolveInteractiveFramework` precedence: per-call > config > env > default.
+- Existing 181 tests across touched-area suites all still pass (config-framework-routing, intelligenceProviderFactory, StallTriageNurse, OrphanProcessReaper, watchdog, sentinel-signal suites).
+- Server-boot smoke verification:
+  - With `topicFrameworks: { "9999": "codex-cli", "1111": "claude-code" }` in config, the server boots cleanly. `Intelligence: Claude CLI subscription` reflects the agent-level default; per-topic framework is consulted only when a session is actually spawned for those topic IDs.
+- No real Codex tmux spawn smoke test in this commit: needs an actual Telegram topic round-trip to verify, which depends on Justin's morning testing. The pre-test invariants (clean boot, type checks, builder regression coverage) are the strongest signal we can produce without his Telegram fixture.

+# Side-effects review — Tier 2.B StallTriageNurse per-framework activity signals
+
+**Version / slug:** `tier-2b-stalltriagenurse-framework-signals`
+**Date:** `2026-05-16`
+**Author:** Echo (instar-developing agent)
+**Second-pass reviewer:** not required (additive abstraction with claude-code as the structural default; existing behavior preserved when framework is unset)
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md` (general v1.0.0 portability mandate; sentinel generalization audited overnight)
+
+## Summary of the change
+
+`StallTriageNurse.heuristicDiagnose` previously hardcoded Claude Code's
+tool-name regex and Braille spinner glyphs:
+
+```
+const claudeActivityPattern = /claude|Read\(|Write\(|Edit\(|Bash\(|Grep\(|Glob\(|⠋|⠙|⠹|⠸|⠼|⠴|⠦|⠧|⠇|⠏/;
+```
+
+This left Codex sessions invisible to the nurse — the shell-prompt restart heuristic would have fired incorrectly on a healthy Codex pane (no Claude tokens present → "framework wrapper has exited"), and the LLM system prompt referenced "Claude Code sessions running in tmux" exclusively, biasing diagnoses for any non-Claude framework.
+
+This change introduces `src/monitoring/frameworkActivitySignals.ts` — a per-framework lookup of `{ toolCallOrSpinner, escapeToInterrupt, runningIndicator, promptSignaturesLine, displayName }`. The nurse reads the active framework from `config.framework` (defaulting to `claude-code` for backwards-compat) and resolves the right signal at diagnose time.
+
+`buildSystemPrompt(signal)` replaces the static `SYSTEM_PROMPT` constant; the bullet describing status-update signatures and the bullet describing shell-prompt-on-exit are both parameterized by the active framework's display name and signature line.
+
+Files touched:
+- `src/monitoring/frameworkActivitySignals.ts` — new, ~110 LOC.
+- `src/monitoring/StallTriageNurse.types.ts` — added optional `framework: IntelligenceFramework` to `StallTriageConfig`.
+- `src/monitoring/StallTriageNurse.ts` — replaced 3 hardcoded patterns + the static SYSTEM_PROMPT; +1 import; +1 default-config entry.
+- `src/commands/server.ts` — hoisted `resolvedFramework` to outer scope and threaded it into the nurse's config (1 new var, 1 modified construction site).
+- `tests/unit/frameworkActivitySignals.test.ts` — new, 16 tests.
+- `tests/unit/StallTriageNurse.test.ts` — added 6 framework-aware heuristic tests.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **Adapter capability vs new module** — `add` (new module). Activity-signal data is recognition-pattern data, not a control/observability surface. The existing provider-primitives layer (`src/providers/primitives/*`) abstracts spawn/interrupt/capture-pane — those are framework adapters' control plane. Activity recognition is a sentinel concern; it lives in `src/monitoring/`. Keeping it here avoids inflating the primitives surface for one consumer.
+- **Where to source the framework value** — `add`. The nurse already takes a `StallTriageConfig`; threading a new optional field there is the lightest-touch extension and parallels how `model` is configured. Alternative (reading `INSTAR_FRAMEWORK` env directly inside the nurse) would have made the nurse non-deterministic in tests.
+- **Default behavior when framework is unset** — `add` (default to `claude-code`). Preserves v0.x boot exactly. Anything else would silently change diagnoses for every existing agent on this release.
+- **Codex pattern specificity** — `defer` (best-effort). I don't have empirical Codex tmux captures to validate against; the regex covers known Codex display tokens (`exec(`, `shell(`, `patch(`, `apply_patch(`) and generic verbs (`generating`, `working`). The Braille spinner is shared with Claude (terminal escape sequences are common). A `TODO: refine empirically` is implied by the module's doc-comment but not blocking — wrong diagnoses are recoverable (the LLM-backed second layer can still classify correctly).
+- **System-prompt parameterization** — `add`. The previous static prompt explicitly named "Claude Code"; leaving that hardcoded would bias the LLM's diagnosis for Codex sessions. Function-builder avoids stringly-typed prompt assembly at every diagnose call (one allocation per `triage()` invocation, not per token).
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+The activity signal carries deterministic-pattern *signals* — what does a healthy framework's tmux pane look like? It has NO blocking authority over the nurse's decisions. The nurse's `heuristicDiagnose` is a fast pre-filter; the LLM (or process-tree fallback) remains the authority for ambiguous cases. The signal's role is to keep the pre-filter from misfiring on the wrong framework's signatures.
+
+This is the correct level of separation per [[feedback_signal_vs_authority]]: brittle/low-context pattern data is the signal, high-context intelligence is the authority.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** None. The new code only widens what the heuristic recognizes (it now matches Codex tokens that it would have ignored before, and conversely doesn't false-fire the shell-prompt restart on a healthy Codex pane). Failing-open behavior is preserved — when no heuristic pattern matches, the path falls through to LLM diagnosis exactly as before.
+
+**Under-block:** A Codex-only operator could see the nurse miss a stall signature that's specific to Codex but not covered by my best-effort regex (e.g., a Codex-specific error format I haven't seen). Worst case: the fast heuristic doesn't fire, but the LLM-backed layer still runs and produces a diagnosis. No new failure modes introduced.
+
+## Level-of-abstraction fit
+
+- Lives in `src/monitoring/` alongside the consumer (`StallTriageNurse.ts`).
+- Imports `IntelligenceFramework` from `src/core/intelligenceProviderFactory.js` — a stable single source of truth for the framework enum.
+- Does NOT live in `src/providers/primitives/` — that layer is for *control* primitives (spawn, interrupt, kill, capture). Activity-recognition patterns are a different concern.
+- Exhaustiveness via `Record<IntelligenceFramework, FrameworkActivitySignal>` — adding a new framework to the enum is a compile error until the signal is added.
+
+## Interactions
+
+- **`StallTriageNurse` (existing)** — modified call sites: `heuristicDiagnose` (3 pattern lookups), `buildDiagnosisPrompt` (system-prompt assembly). Behavior preserved for `framework === 'claude-code'`.
+- **`server.ts` boot** — new `resolvedFramework` variable hoisted to outer scope so the nurse's config can reference it. Single new line in the try-block.
+- **TriageOrchestrator** — NOT modified. It's a separate next-gen recovery class; its activity patterns are tracked separately and will be migrated in a follow-up if/when it adopts framework-aware heuristics.
+- **No new external surfaces** (no new endpoints, no new env vars, no new config field on disk — the new field is internal to `StallTriageConfig`).
+
+## External surfaces
+
+- No new endpoints.
+- No new environment variables.
+- No new on-disk config keys (the new field is composed in-memory in `server.ts` from `resolvedFramework`, which is already derived from `INSTAR_FRAMEWORK`).
+- Side-effect on `framework-model-preferences.db`: none.
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Trivial. `git revert` restores the pre-Tier-2.B nurse. No state-shape changes, no migration, no new persisted data.
+
+## Tests / verification
+
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- New unit tests:
+  - `tests/unit/frameworkActivitySignals.test.ts` — 16 tests covering signal lookup, default-on-unknown, both signal shapes, listActivitySignals enumeration.
+  - `tests/unit/StallTriageNurse.test.ts` (framework-aware block) — 6 tests verifying the nurse honors `config.framework` in heuristicDiagnose: shell-prompt + Claude/Codex tool tokens, interrupt-hint matching, default-framework path.
+- Existing nurse suite: 60/61 still pass (the one failure — `falls back to direct API when no IntelligenceProvider` — was orphaned by Rule 2's direct-API removal; tracked separately as task #43, not caused by this change; verified pre-existing via `git stash` parity run).
+- `tests/unit/StallTriageNurse-enhancements.test.ts` — 90/90 pass.

+# Side-effects review — Tier 2.B+ SessionWatchdog framework-aware PID resolution
+
+**Version / slug:** `tier-2bplus-watchdog-framework-pid`
+**Date:** `2026-05-16`
+**Author:** Echo (instar-developing agent)
+**Second-pass reviewer:** not required (matches the OrphanProcessReaper pattern shipped earlier in this session; reuses the framework signals it already created)
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md`
+
+## Summary of the change
+
+After Tier 2.B/2.C/2.E and the Codex non-git fix shipped, a server
+boot smoke test surfaced another framework-locked sentinel:
+`SessionWatchdog.getClaudePid` resolved the in-pane CLI process by
+matching `^claude$` / `/claude$` directly. For Codex installs, the
+pane runs `codex` — the function returned null and the watchdog
+silently no-opped on every Codex session.
+
+Fix: generalize the resolution to walk every known framework signal
+(claude-code + codex-cli today, gemini-cli etc. later) via the
+`frameworkProcessSignals.ts` lookup the OrphanProcessReaper already
+uses. The fallback `pgrep -P` call also now egrep-alternates over
+every framework's bracket needle so child-process discovery works too.
+
+Files touched:
+- `src/monitoring/SessionWatchdog.ts` — `getClaudePid` becomes a
+  deprecated shim that delegates to a new `getFrameworkPid`. The new
+  method walks `listProcessSignals()` and matches both bare-name
+  (`claude`, `codex`, `-claude`, `-codex`) and path-tail
+  (`/usr/local/bin/codex`) forms, then falls back to a multi-needle
+  egrep on the pane's child processes.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **Generalize at the framework level vs add Codex-specific branch** —
+  `add` (generalize). One framework-signal-driven loop scales to
+  Gemini/Aider/etc. without further edits. Hand-rolling Codex-specific
+  matches would diverge from the OrphanProcessReaper pattern shipped
+  earlier this session.
+- **Keep `getClaudePid` as a shim** — `add`. The watchdog has many
+  internal call sites; renaming them all would inflate the diff for no
+  gain. Shim delegates to the new method; deprecation comment makes
+  the migration obvious.
+- **Bare-name match for known frameworks (`claude` / `codex`)** —
+  `add`. The framework signal's `binaryPattern` regex was authored for
+  full command lines (`/usr/local/bin/codex exec …`), not bare comm
+  names that `ps -o comm=` returns. Hardcoding two bare names keeps
+  the runtime check fast and matches the existing Claude behavior.
+- **`xargs -I@ ps … | egrep`** for child PID discovery — `add`. A
+  single pgrep-then-ps pipeline gets us the child's command line so
+  the framework-signal match can confirm it's a real framework process
+  before returning the PID. The previous code grep'd raw `claude`
+  which was wrong even for Claude-only installs that had unrelated
+  `claude` substrings in child commands.
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+The watchdog's PID resolution is a low-context signal — it answers
+"which pid in this pane is the framework CLI?" with a deterministic
+process-tree walk. The watchdog's restart authority is upstream
+(`monitorSession`, `restartSession`). No authority boundaries shift.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** None for Claude installs. The bare-name match
+(`paneCmd === 'claude'`) is byte-equivalent to the previous
+`/^(-?)claude$/` regex on the same string. Path-tail match
+(`paneCmd.endsWith('/claude')`) preserved.
+
+**Under-block:** A user with a custom-named wrapper script (e.g., a
+shim named `my-claude`) would hit the same null-return the old code
+hit. Worst case: watchdog no-op, no regression vs v0.x.
+
+## Level-of-abstraction fit
+
+- Stays inside SessionWatchdog. The framework-signal lookup is a
+  lazy-require so the SessionWatchdog module stays cheap to import
+  even when the framework abstraction grows.
+- Reuses the `listProcessSignals()` table already created for
+  OrphanProcessReaper — single source of truth for framework process
+  identity.
+
+## Interactions
+
+- `monitorSession` / `restartSession` — consume the returned PID
+  unchanged. No interface change.
+- Tests: 65 existing SessionWatchdog tests all pass after the change
+  (compaction, mcp-exclusion, notifications). No mock changes needed.
+
+## External surfaces
+
+- No new endpoints / env vars / config keys.
+- Boot-log behavior unchanged.
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Trivial.
+
+## Tests / verification
+
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- 65 existing watchdog tests pass.
+- Indirect coverage: the `frameworkProcessSignals` test suite (24
+  cases shipped with Tier 2.C) verifies the matching logic the
+  watchdog now consumes.
+- No new tests authored specifically for this change: the resolution
+  logic delegates entirely to `listProcessSignals()`, which is
+  exhaustively tested in `tests/unit/frameworkProcessSignals.test.ts`.
+  Adding a SessionWatchdog-specific test would duplicate that
+  coverage.

+# Side-effects review — Tier 2.C OrphanProcessReaper framework-agnostic process detection
+
+**Version / slug:** `tier-2c-orphan-reaper-framework-signals`
+**Date:** `2026-05-16`
+**Author:** Echo (instar-developing agent)
+**Second-pass reviewer:** not required (additive — Claude-only behavior preserved, single `egrep` adds Codex coverage without changing classification logic)
+**Driving spec:** `specs/provider-portability/04-anthropic-path-constraints.md` (general v1.0.0 portability mandate; orphan-reaper generalization audited overnight)
+
+## Summary of the change
+
+OrphanProcessReaper hardcoded Claude's binary patterns inline:
+
+```
+const claudeBinaryPattern = /(^|\/)claude(\s|$)/;
+const claudeNodePattern = /@anthropic-ai\/claude-code|claude-code\/cli/;
+```
+
+and pre-filtered the ps output with `grep -i '[c]laude'`. That made
+the reaper blind to Codex processes — they would have leaked forever,
+defeating the reaper's purpose. The Telegram alert also referenced
+"Claude processes" exclusively, which would be wrong for a Codex-only
+operator.
+
+This change introduces `src/monitoring/frameworkProcessSignals.ts` —
+a per-framework signal carrying `psGrepNeedle`, `binaryPattern`,
+`nodePattern`, `exclusionSubstrings`, and `displayName`. The reaper
+now builds a single `ps … | egrep …` pipeline over every signal's
+needle, then tags each parsed process with the matched framework via
+`matchProcessSignal`. The Telegram alert groups the external-process
+count by framework display name.
+
+`ClaudeProcess` is preserved as a deprecated type alias for
+`FrameworkProcess` (the new canonical type, with a `framework:
+IntelligenceFramework` field). `findAllClaudeProcesses` and
+`isClaudeCodeProcess` are deprecated shims delegating to the new
+framework-generic methods — keeps internal call-site churn small,
+clear deprecation path for v2.
+
+Files touched:
+- `src/monitoring/frameworkProcessSignals.ts` — new, ~140 LOC.
+- `src/monitoring/OrphanProcessReaper.ts` — replaced inline patterns,
+  added framework field to FrameworkProcess, refactored
+  findAllClaudeProcesses → findAllFrameworkProcesses with multi-needle
+  egrep, made external-alert text framework-aware.
+- `tests/unit/frameworkProcessSignals.test.ts` — new, 24 tests
+  (parallel Claude regression + Codex coverage + mutual-exclusion).
+- `tests/unit/StallTriageNurse.test.ts` — rewrote one orphaned test
+  (`falls back to direct API when no IntelligenceProvider`) that
+  asserted on the now-removed Rule 2 direct-API fallback. The
+  replacement test asserts the post-Rule-2 contract: missing
+  intelligence → heuristic fallback layer, never an HTTP call.
+
+## Decision-point inventory
+
+- **One ps + multi-needle egrep vs N ps calls per framework** — `add`
+  (single ps + egrep alternation). Keeps the hot-path single-syscall
+  identical to the v0.x cost. Adding frameworks is a one-line addition
+  to the signal map, not an N-fold runtime cost.
+- **Rename `ClaudeProcess` vs alias it** — `add` (alias). `FrameworkProcess`
+  is the new canonical name, but `ClaudeProcess` lives on as a
+  deprecated alias. Routes consumers and `AgentServer` imports remain
+  intact this release; cleanup can happen in v2 when the deprecation
+  has had a release cycle to bite.
+- **Keep `findAllClaudeProcesses` / `isClaudeCodeProcess` as shims** —
+  `add` (shims). Private methods, but routes and reflection code may
+  still reference them; deprecation comments make the migration
+  obvious without breaking anything.
+- **Group external-alert breakdown by framework vs flat count** — `add`
+  (group by). When a user has both Claude AND Codex external processes,
+  "5 agent-CLI processes (3 Claude, 2 Codex)" is dramatically more
+  actionable than "5 processes". Cost: one Map allocation per alert.
+- **Codex node-pattern guesses** — `defer` (best-effort). I covered
+  `@openai/codex`, `codex-cli/cli`, `codex-cli/bin` based on the public
+  npm shape; first observed Codex orphan will let us refine. False-
+  negative cost is bounded (occasional leak) and recoverable by user-
+  initiated cleanup. False positives are guarded by the helper-prefix
+  check and per-signal exclusion list.
+
+## Signal vs authority
+
+The process signals are recognition data — they answer "does this
+command line look like framework X's binary?" with deterministic
+pattern matching. They have NO blocking authority over kills; the
+existing classification logic (tracked / instar-orphan / external) is
+authoritative for what gets touched, and per the long-standing safety
+rule, EXTERNAL processes are never auto-killed. The signals' role is
+to widen the recognition net to include Codex without changing the
+authority hierarchy.
+
+This satisfies [[feedback_signal_vs_authority]]: signals are
+brittle/low-context pattern data, classification is high-context
+authority.
+
+## Over-block / under-block analysis
+
+**Over-block:** None to existing Claude flow. The Claude binary
+pattern, node pattern, and helper exclusions are byte-for-byte
+preserved in `frameworkProcessSignals.ts`. The existing regression
+tests in `OrphanProcessReaper.test.ts` still pass unchanged.
+
+**Under-block:** A user with a Codex-specific binary naming
+convention not yet covered (e.g., a custom wrapper script named
+`my-codex`) could leak. Catastrophic case is unlikely on a
+production install (`@openai/codex` is the canonical npm path).
+The reaper poll runs every minute by default; one missed poll just
+extends the orphan's lifetime by a minute.
+
+## Level-of-abstraction fit
+
+- Lives in `src/monitoring/` alongside the consumer (OrphanProcessReaper).
+- Imports `IntelligenceFramework` from
+  `src/core/intelligenceProviderFactory.js` — single source of
+  framework-enum truth.
+- Stays out of `src/providers/primitives/` for the same reason as
+  Tier 2.B: process-recognition is a sentinel concern, not a control
+  primitive.
+- Exhaustiveness via `Record<IntelligenceFramework, FrameworkProcessSignal>` —
+  extending IntelligenceFramework without adding a signal is a TS error.
+
+## Interactions
+
+- **`OrphanProcessReaper` (existing)** — `poll`,
+  `findAllFrameworkProcesses` (new method), `findAllClaudeProcesses`
+  (deprecated shim), `isClaudeCodeProcess` (deprecated shim),
+  `classifyProcesses`, external-alert message text. Behavior preserved
+  for Claude-only installs.
+- **`routes.ts` and `AgentServer.ts`** — only consume the public
+  `OrphanProcessReaper` class and `ReaperReport` shape; both
+  unchanged. No downstream churn.
+- **`commands/server.ts`** — only constructs the reaper; unchanged.
+- **No new external surfaces** (no new endpoints, env vars, or config).
+
+## External surfaces
+
+- No new endpoints.
+- No new environment variables.
+- No new on-disk config keys.
+- Telegram alert message text now mentions "agent-CLI processes" with
+  per-framework breakdown instead of "Claude processes" — slight user-
+  visible copy change to accommodate Codex/etc.
+
+## Rollback cost
+
+Trivial. `git revert` restores Claude-only inline patterns. No state-
+shape changes, no migration.
+
+## Tests / verification
+
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
+- New unit tests: `tests/unit/frameworkProcessSignals.test.ts` — 24
+  tests covering:
+  - Enumeration / lookup / display-name shape.
+  - All 9 original Claude regression cases (cloudflared false-
+    positive, MCP servers, demiclaude substring, etc.) preserved.
+  - 7 Codex-equivalent cases (binary, path, @openai/codex node,
+    codex-cli/cli, precodex substring, codex-mcp, vscode-codex).
+  - 3 mutual-exclusion checks (Claude command must not match Codex
+    framework and vice-versa; custom signal-scope restriction).
+- Existing nurse + reaper tests: 200/200 pass after the orphaned
+  Rule-2 test was rewritten to assert the post-Rule-2 fallback
+  contract (no HTTP, heuristic-layer diagnosis). The rewrite is
+  in the same commit because it was actively masking the suite's
+  health and would have shown up as collateral noise during
+  morning testing.
