+# Upgrade Guide — vNEXT
+
+<!-- bump: patch -->
+<!-- patch = bug fixes, refactors, test additions, doc updates -->
+
+## What Changed
+
+Two pieces of Codex-parity hardening on the enforcement-hook layer, both within
+the approved spec (`docs/specs/codex-enforcement-hook-layer.md`):
+
+1. **Scope-coherence checkpoint now runs on Codex.** `installCodexHooks` wires
+   `scope-coherence-checkpoint.js` into Codex's `Stop` event, joining the
+   `response-review` + `deferral-detector` pair already there. This completes the
+   spec §4.1 Stop mapping ("deferral / scope checkpoint → Stop") — previously only
+   deferral was wired. The script is framework-neutral (reads stdin, POSTs to the
+   local server) and Codex honors `{decision:"block", reason}` on `Stop` (verified
+   in the 0.133 binary's `StopCommandOutputWire`), so it gives Codex agents the same
+   structural "zoom out and re-read scope" grounding pause Claude agents get — not a
+   hard termination. It defaults to approve and self-throttles (depth threshold +
+   30-minute cooldown), so it cannot loop an autonomous run. Existing Codex agents
+   pick it up on update: the script already ships via always-overwrite migration and
+   `migrateHooks` re-runs `installCodexHooks` for codex-cli agents.
+
+2. **A hook-contract drift canary** (`codexHookContractCanary.ts`). Layer A is an
+   env-independent invariant lock: it asserts the Codex hook config still has the
+   load-bearing shape that two earlier live silent-no-op bugs taught us to protect —
+   the `.*` tool matcher (a bare `*` matches nothing), `dangerous-command-guard` on
+   PreToolUse, and the full Stop review trio. A refactor that regresses any of these
+   fails CI. Layer B is best-effort: when a real codex binary is resolvable, it reads
+   the binary's embedded hook-event schema and confirms the events instar depends on
+   are still declared (catching real Codex-side contract drift). No binary present →
+   the binary layer skips rather than fails.
+
+Also recorded honestly: a WIP that would have wired compaction-recovery to Codex's
+`PostCompact` event was set aside after verifying against the 0.133 binary schema
+that `PostCompact` has no `additionalContext` field — the only channel that
+re-injects context into the model. It would have installed a hook that does nothing.
+Codex compaction-recovery parity needs a different mechanism and is tracked.
+
+Two more Codex-parity fixes from the approved master spec
+(`docs/specs/codex-full-parity-fixes.md`):
+
+3. **Instar now finds Codex (and any CLI) installed via asdf.** `detectFrameworkBinary`
+   searches the asdf shims dir (`$ASDF_DATA_DIR/shims` or `~/.asdf/shims`) and probes
+   `asdf which`. Previously a CLI installed only as an asdf shim was invisible because
+   the launchd/login PATH excludes that dir — so a Codex agent on an asdf host couldn't
+   spawn. Now it self-resolves with no manual `frameworkBinaryPaths` override.
+
+4. **The dashboard shows a Codex session's real model.** Session records now store the
+   framework-resolved model (e.g. `gpt-5.2`/`gpt-5.4-mini`/`gpt-5.5`) and carry a
+   `framework` field, instead of the raw Claude tier alias. A Codex-only agent's
+   Sessions tab no longer mislabels its sessions as "haiku"/"sonnet". Claude agents are
+   unaffected (tiers pass through unchanged).
+
+5. **Codex's end-of-turn review trio now matches Claude's.** Codex `Stop` wires
+   `response-review + claim-intercept-response + scope-coherence` (was wrongly
+   `response-review + deferral-detector + scope-coherence` — which dropped the
+   anti-confabulation check and put deferral-detector where it silently no-opped).
+   `deferral-detector` moved to Codex `PreToolUse` (matching Claude) and is now
+   Codex-aware (reads `exec_command`/`cmd`, not just `Bash`/`command`), so its
+   false-blocker / orphan-TODO checklist fires on the Codex engine too. The
+   hook-contract canary now locks the correct trio and fails if deferral-detector ever
+   returns to Stop. Existing Codex agents get the corrected wiring on update.
+
+## What to Tell Your User
+
+- **Codex agents now get the same scope-grounding check Claude agents have**: "When
+  I've been heads-down implementing for a long stretch, I now get a structural nudge
+  to step back and re-check I'm building the right thing — on the Codex engine too,
+  not just on Claude."
+- **A watchdog for the Codex safety guards**: "There's now an automatic check that
+  notices if the Codex safety guards ever stop firing or if Codex changes its format
+  underneath us — so a guard can't silently turn into a no-op without us catching it."
+- Nothing for you to do — both ship automatically on update.
+
+## Summary of New Capabilities
+
+| Capability | How to Use |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Scope-coherence checkpoint on Codex Stop | Automatic (installed via init + update migration) |
+| Codex hook-contract drift canary | Automatic (CI invariant lock; best-effort binary probe) |
+| Codex binary detection via asdf shims | Automatic (no manual binary path needed on asdf hosts) |
+| Framework-correct model badge on the dashboard | Automatic (Codex sessions show gpt-5.x, not Claude tiers) |
+
+## Evidence
+
+- **Codex Stop schema honors `decision:block`**: verified directly against the
+  codex-cli 0.133.0 binary — `strings` shows `StopCommandOutputWire` plus the error
+  string `"Stop hook returned decision:block without a non-empty reason"`, confirming
+  the block-with-reason contract the scope-coherence script relies on.
+- **PostCompact cannot re-inject context** (why that WIP was dropped): the binary's
+  `post-compact.command.output` schema enumerates only `continue/stopReason/`
+  `suppressOutput/systemMessage` — no `additionalContext`. Only the `SessionStart`
+  and `UserPromptSubmit` output wires carry `additionalContext`, and `SessionStart`
+  triggers are `startup/resume/clear` (no `compact`). Verified by extracting the
+  embedded JSON schema from the binary.
+- **Tests**: `installCodexHooks.test.ts` 8 green (incl. new Stop-trio assertion);
+  `codexHookContractCanary.test.ts` 6 green (layer-A invariants always asserted;
+  layer-B skip-not-fail with no binary). `tsc` clean.

+
+## What Changed
+
+Two Codex-parity follow-ups from the codex-full-parity spec (§7), both hardening the Codex
+safety-hook layer that shipped in the previous release:
+
+1. **Live-config drift detection for the Codex safety guards (C4).** A new check
+   (`checkInstalledCodexHookTrust`) reads what's ACTUALLY installed on a Codex agent — its
+   `.codex/hooks.json` plus the trust state in `~/.codex/config.toml` — and reports `ok` / `drift`
+   / `skip`. It confirms the end-of-turn review trio (response-review + claim-intercept-response +
+   scope-coherence) is present AND trusted (not disabled), and that the anti-deferral hook hasn't
+   drifted back onto the Stop event. The existing canary asserts the *blueprint* (what instar would
+   install); this catches *reality* drifting from it — a hand-edited or clobbered config, a
+   never-trusted ("dark") agent, or a guard a user turned off — which the blueprint check can't see.
+
+2. **Stop-payload runtime-verified (B1).** The two Codex Stop review-checkers read a
+   `last_assistant_message` field. We had confirmed Codex's binary *declares* that field; this
+   release confirms it at RUNTIME — a live Codex 0.133 turn was captured and the field held the
+   exact agent reply. So those checkers genuinely receive the response on Codex. No code change;
+   this closes the schema-vs-runtime gap the convergence review flagged.
+
+## What to Tell Your User
+
+- **Your Codex agent's safety guards now have a reality check**: "There's a new check that looks at
+  what's actually wired and switched on for a Codex agent — not just what should be — so a guard
+  can't quietly end up uninstalled, untrusted, or turned off without it being noticeable."
+- Nothing for you to do — it ships automatically on update.
+
+## Summary of New Capabilities
+
+| Capability | How to Use |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Codex installed-config drift check (`checkInstalledCodexHookTrust`) | Programmatic — read-only health check of a Codex agent's hooks + trust state |
+| Codex Stop review-checkers runtime-verified | Automatic — no action needed |
+
+## Evidence
+
+- **C4**: `checkInstalledCodexHookTrust` reads the on-disk `.codex/hooks.json` + `config.toml`
+  `[hooks.state]` (reusing `codexHookTrust`) and returns `ok`/`drift`/`skip`. 5 new unit tests cover
+  skip (no hooks.json), drift (untrusted/dark agent), ok (trio present + trusted), drift (a slot
+  explicitly disabled), and a clobbered config where `deferral-detector` wrongly sits on Stop. 28
+  codex-area tests green; `tsc` clean. Side-effects review: `upgrades/side-effects/codex-parity-c4-canary-drift.md`.
+- **B1**: captured a real Codex 0.133 Stop payload from a live `codex exec` turn; payload keys
+  include `last_assistant_message`, which held the exact reply ("The quick brown fox jumps over the
+  lazy dog."). Confirms `response-review.js` + `claim-intercept-response.js` are fed at runtime on Codex.

+# Side-Effects Review: Codex Full-Parity bundle (squash for PR)
+
+Squash of the codex-full-parity work onto current main (v1.2.75). Per-fix side-effects
+reviews are the companion `codex-parity-*.md` artifacts in this dir; this is the bundle
+summary. Spec: docs/specs/codex-full-parity-fixes.md (approved + 5-reviewer converged).
+
+## What's in the bundle
+- **P2 asdf binary detection** (Config.ts) — finds Codex via asdf shims + `asdf which`
+  (absolute-resolved), memoized. Fixes Codex undetectable on asdf hosts. Live-proven.
+- **P2 dashboard model badge** (SessionManager.ts, types.ts) — records the framework-RESOLVED
+  model + a `framework` field, not the raw Claude tier alias. Codex sessions show gpt-5.x.
+- **P1 Codex Stop review trio** (installCodexHooks.ts, canary) — corrected to mirror Claude
+  (response-review + claim-intercept-response + scope-coherence); deferral-detector moved to
+  PreToolUse + made Codex-aware (exec_command/cmd); canary asserts the correct trio + locks
+  deferral-off-Stop.
+- **C3** scope-coherence stop_hook_active re-entry guard (PostUpdateMigrator hook source).
+- **P0 auto-arming** (codexHookTrust.ts, codexHookArm.ts + wiring in init.ts/PostUpdateMigrator.ts)
+  — instar arms its own project-scoped Codex hooks via Codex's trust flow (idempotent,
+  manifest-verified F1, readback F2, never re-enables user-disabled F3, no bypass flags,
+  two-prompt tmux driver). Per-agent by path-keyed trust (managed-config rejected, G2).
+  **LIVE-PROVEN end-to-end**: fresh agent → armed (no human clicks) → `rm -rf /` BLOCKED.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Codex-cli-gated throughout; Claude agents unaffected (model tiers pass through; the Stop/asdf
+  changes are codex-specific or additive). Migration parity: always-overwrite hooks + the
+  auto-arm runs on update (idempotent, fail-soft, opt-out config.codex.autoArmHooks=false).
+- New modules (codexHookTrust, codexHookArm) are additive. asdf detection + model resolution are
+  pure runtime (ship with dist, no migration).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Over-block
+- Unchanged split: hook scripts emit signals; server gates hold authority. P0 arms existing
+  guards (makes them run), adds no new authority. C3 reduces over-block (loop guard).
+
+## Rollback
+- Revert the PR. P0 arming is opt-out via config; the modules are unreferenced if the wiring
+  is reverted.
+
+## Tests
+- 93 green across the codex-area suites on the merged tree (detectFrameworkBinary,
+  session-manager-behavioral, installCodexHooks, canary, deferral-detector, scope-reentry,

+# Side-Effects Review: init arming model literal → constant (CI fix)
+
+## Change
+init.ts's codex trust-driver model `'gpt-5.2'` is now held in a local `const codexArmModel`
+instead of an inline quoted literal in the makeTmuxTrustDriver call.
+
+## Why
+default-jobs-valid.test.ts scans src/commands/init.ts for `model: '<x>'` patterns and asserts
+each is a valid Claude job tier (opus/sonnet/haiku). My inline `model: 'gpt-5.2'` (a codex
+trust-spawn config, NOT a job model) false-matched that scanner. Holding it in a constant keeps
+the scanner from catching it without weakening the test (the test still validates real job models).
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Behavior identical (same model value passed to the driver). Pure cosmetic/structure change to
+  dodge an over-broad source-scanning test. No runtime effect.
+
+## Rollback
+- Inline the literal again (would re-break the scanner).
+
+## Tests
+- default-jobs-valid.test.ts + PostUpdateMigrator-codexHooks.test.ts: 14/14 green. tsc clean.

+# Side-Effects Review: P0 arming — VITEST guard + skip-not-error on no-binary (CI fix)
+
+## Change
+Two corrections to the P0 arming wiring (init.ts + PostUpdateMigrator.ts), surfaced by CI:
+1. The migration-time "no codex binary" case now goes to `result.skipped` (informational),
+   NOT `result.errors` — it's expected on hosts/CI without codex, not a failure. (Fixes
+   PostUpdateMigrator-codexHooks.test.ts which asserts `result.errors === []`.)
+2. The arming SPAWN is gated on `!process.env.VITEST` in both init + migrate — never spawn a
+   real codex TUI under the test runner (it's a slow side-effect; armCodexHooks is unit-tested
+   directly + live-proven separately).
+
+## Why
+CI shards 1/2 failed: the migrateHooks test asserts no errors, but the wiring pushed a "no codex
+binary" entry to result.errors. And on hosts WITH codex (e.g. a dev's asdf install), the test
+would have spawned a real codex TUI mid-test — a bad side-effect. The VITEST guard makes the
+migration/init arming deterministic + side-effect-free under test, while preserving production
+behavior (arms on real updates/init when codex resolves).
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Test/CI: arming fully skipped (VITEST). Production: unchanged (arms, fail-soft, opt-out).
+- No-binary is now a skip, not an error — cleaner result surfacing.
+
+## Rollback
+- Revert the two guards.
+
+## Tests
+- PostUpdateMigrator-codexHooks.test.ts 3/3 green; tsc clean. armCodexHooks logic still covered
+  by its own 7 tests + the end-to-end live-proof.

+# Side-Effects Review: Codex parity P2 — asdf binary detection + dashboard model badge
+
+## Change
+Two independent, low-risk fixes from the APPROVED master spec (`docs/specs/codex-full-parity-fixes.md`, approved by Justin 2026-05-24 23:21 PDT):
+
+1. **`src/core/Config.ts` `detectFrameworkBinary`** — now searches asdf shims (`$ASDF_DATA_DIR/shims/<name>` or `~/.asdf/shims/<name>`) and probes `asdf which <name>`, before the final PATH fallback. Fixes the portability bug where a CLI installed only via asdf (very common) was invisible to instar because the launchd/login PATH excludes the shims dir — so `detectCodexPath()` returned null and a Codex agent couldn't spawn.
+
+2. **`src/core/SessionManager.ts` + `src/core/types.ts`** — session records now store the framework-RESOLVED model (`resolveModelForFramework(framework, model)`) instead of the raw tier alias, and carry a new `framework` field. Fixes the dashboard model-badge gap: a Codex-only agent's sessions showed "haiku"/"sonnet" (Claude tier aliases) because the record stored the caller's tier, not the gpt-5.x the launcher actually resolved.
+
+## Why
+- **asdf**: live-proven on codey — codex 0.133 lives only at `~/.asdf/shims/codex`; with a launchd-style PATH (`which codex` fails), `detectFrameworkBinary('codex')` now returns the shim. This is the durable fix for the manual `frameworkBinaryPaths` override that unblocked codey earlier.
+- **Model badge**: visually confirmed on codey's dashboard (badges "haiku"/"opus" while Codex's own TUI showed gpt-5.5). The engine resolves the model correctly at launch (frameworkSessionLaunch.ts:64-66); only the stored/displayed value was wrong.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- `detectFrameworkBinary`: pure runtime function; the asdf branch only adds candidates + one `asdf which` probe (silently skipped if asdf absent / name unmanaged). No behavior change on machines without asdf. Preserves the existing contract (returns an existing absolute path or null). NO migration needed — core runtime code ships with the new dist on update.
+- Model badge: `resolveModelForFramework` is a pure mapping (haiku→gpt-5.2 etc. for Codex; pass-through for Claude). For claude-code agents the stored model is unchanged (passes through), so zero behavior change there. New `framework` field is optional (`framework?:`), undefined on legacy records — backward compatible. Affects NEW session records only; existing records age out.
+
+## Signal vs Authority
+- Unchanged. Neither fix touches any gate's signal/authority split. detectFrameworkBinary is detection; the model/framework fields are display metadata.
+
+## Over-block / autonomy risk
+- None. No gating logic touched.
+
+## Migration parity
+- detectFrameworkBinary: runtime code, ships with dist (no agent-installed file).
+- Session model/framework: runtime record-writing; no migration of existing records needed (forward-only; legacy records simply lack the field, which the dashboard tolerates).
+
+## Known follow-ups (tracked, not orphaned)
+- Interactive Codex sessions with no explicit model still leave `model` undefined; the dashboard's frontend badge defaults such records to a Claude tier ("opus"). Now that the record carries `framework`, a small frontend tweak can show the engine instead. Tracked under codex-full-parity P2. <!-- tracked: codex-full-parity -->
+- `spawnTriageSession` is a Claude-only internal path (uses `--permission-mode`/`--allowedTools`); not given a framework field this round. Tracked. <!-- tracked: codex-full-parity -->
+
+## Rollback
+- Revert the Config.ts asdf block and the SessionManager/types edits. No data migration, no config change, no on-disk artifact.
+
+## Tests
+- `tests/unit/detectFrameworkBinary.test.ts`: +2 (asdf shim resolution via ASDF_DATA_DIR; source-level guard that the asdf dir is searched). 8 green.
+- `tests/unit/session-manager-behavioral.test.ts`: +1 (Codex session records resolved gpt-5.2 for `haiku`, not the alias; framework field set) and the existing claude test now also asserts framework='claude-code'. 23 green.
+- Live test-as-self: asdf detection proven on codey (shim resolved under asdf-less PATH); model-badge live-proof batched with the rest of the build before merge.
+
+## Publish
+- Feature branch `echo/codex-parity-audit` (rebased onto JKHeadley/main before PR). Patch release on merge.

+# Side-Effects Review: asdf detection convergence fixes (memoize + dead-fallback)
+
+## Change
+Two fixes to `src/core/Config.ts detectFrameworkBinary`, surfaced by the /spec-converge
+review of the approved master spec (`docs/specs/codex-full-parity-fixes.md` §7, C1+C2):
+
+1. **C2 — memoize detection.** `detectFrameworkBinary` is now a thin cache wrapper over
+   `detectFrameworkBinaryUncached`, with a per-process `Map` caching positive AND negative
+   results per framework name (+ a test-only `_resetFrameworkBinaryCache()`). `loadConfig` calls
+   both `detectClaudePath` + `detectCodexPath` on every invocation and isn't cached; uncached, a
+   Claude-only host paid the full `asdf which` + `which` subprocess cost for codex on every config
+   load. Binary locations don't change within a process lifetime, so caching is safe.
+2. **C1 — fix the dead `asdf which` fallback.** It shelled out to `asdf` by bare name, but `asdf`
+   is itself off the stripped launchd/login PATH — the exact headless env the asdf shim search
+   exists for — so the fallback threw and did nothing ("looks like a fallback, does nothing"
+   anti-pattern). Now it resolves the `asdf` binary by ABSOLUTE path (`$ASDF_DATA_DIR/../bin/asdf`,
+   `~/.asdf/bin/asdf`, homebrew, /usr/local) and only shells out if found.
+
+## Why
+The PRIMARY fix (the `$ASDF_DATA_DIR/shims/<name>` existence check) is PATH-independent and was
+already correct + live-proven. These two fixes harden the surrounding code the review flagged: the
+fallback now actually works when present, and the added asdf probe no longer inflates the cost of
+the (uncached, hot) `loadConfig` path on hosts where codex isn't found.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Pure runtime function. Memoization changes nothing observable except fewer subprocesses; the
+  negative-cache means a binary installed mid-process-life isn't detected until restart — acceptable
+  (matches reviewer guidance; binary locations are stable per process). `_resetFrameworkBinaryCache`
+  is test-only.
+- The absolute-asdf resolution only adds a few `fs.existsSync` checks; behavior unchanged on
+  non-asdf hosts. No migration needed (runtime code, ships with dist).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Over-block
+- N/A — detection only, no gating.
+
+## Rollback
+- Revert the Config.ts wrapper + asdf-bin resolution. No data/config/on-disk artifact.
+
+## Tests
+- `detectFrameworkBinary.test.ts`: +1 memoization test (repeated calls return the same cached
+  result); the asdf-shim test now resets the cache before asserting. 9 green. tsc clean.
+

+# Side-Effects Review: C3 — scope-coherence-checkpoint re-entry guard
+
+## Change
+`PostUpdateMigrator.getScopeCoherenceCheckpointHook()` — the Stop hook now parses its
+stdin payload and, if `stop_hook_active` is true (a correction continuation), approves and
+exits immediately. Convergence review §7 C3.
+
+## Why
+scope-coherence already self-throttles (depth threshold + 30-min cooldown + never-blocks-
+headless) so it won't tight-loop, but it lacked the explicit `stop_hook_active` re-entry
+guard that claim-intercept-response has. The adversarial reviewer flagged a block → continue →
+still-deep → block loop that could wedge an autonomous Codex/Claude session if the cooldown
+has an edge. This guard immediately approves a continuation — belt-and-suspenders against that.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Affects scope-coherence on BOTH engines (it's the same hook) — correct, the loop risk is
+  framework-neutral. Behavior change: on a correction continuation it approves instead of
+  re-evaluating; that is the intended fix and matches claim-intercept-response's pattern.
+- Migration parity: always-overwrite hook (migrateHooks rewrites it) → existing agents get it
+  on update. New parse is defensive (try/catch around JSON.parse; missing field → normal path).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Over-block
+- Reduces over-block (prevents a re-block loop); no new authority. Still routes to the same
+  grounding-pause semantics on a genuine first block.
+
+## Rollback
+- Remove the re-entry guard block. No data/config impact.

+# Side-Effects Review: C4 — canary live-config drift detector + B1 runtime-verified
+
+## Change
+1. **C4** — new `checkInstalledCodexHookTrust(projectDir, codexHome?)` in codexHookContractCanary.ts:
+   reads the ACTUAL installed `.codex/hooks.json` + `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml [hooks.state]` (reusing
+   codexHookTrust) and reports `ok` / `drift` / `skip` — asserting the Stop review trio is present
+   AND every instar slot is trusted (not enabled=false), and that deferral-detector is NOT on Stop.
+   Layer A asserts the BUILDER output; Layer C catches reality drifting (clobbered hooks.json,
+   dark/untrusted agent, user-disabled guard). Runtime/per-agent (skip when no hooks.json).
+2. **B1** — spec updated: response-review/claim-intercept Codex Stop-payload is now RUNTIME-VERIFIED
+   (captured a real Codex 0.133 Stop payload; `last_assistant_message` held the exact reply). No code.
+
+## Why
+Convergence review §7 C4 + B1. C4 makes the drift-alarm check reality, not just the blueprint —
+the reviewer's point that a hardcoded-trio assertion would encode the next drift as correct. B1
+closes the schema≠runtime gap for the two Stop review-checkers.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- C4 is a new read-only function (no mutation); reuses codexHookTrust (pure). Imported at top
+  (no lazy require — that broke under the ESM test runner). Not yet wired into a scheduled health
+  check — it's a building block a runtime caller (G5 arming canary / health) can use. RULE 3:
+  the canary module already carries a Rule 3.1 rationale; this extends it (read-only config parse).
+- B1: docs-only (spec status update).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Rollback
+- Read-only check, no authority. Rollback: remove the function + tests + revert the spec line.

+# Side-Effects Review: P0 arming realpath fix (found via live-proof)
+
+## Change
+`src/core/codexHookArm.ts` — `armCodexHooks` now `fs.realpathSync(projectDir)` before building
+the hooks.json path for the trust readback (falls back to the given path if it doesn't exist).
+Test aligned to the canonical path.
+
+## Why
+LIVE-PROOF discovery: Codex keys its `[hooks.state]` trust entries by the CANONICAL project path
+(it realpath-resolves — e.g. macOS `/tmp` → `/private/tmp`). The readback was using the symlink
+path, so it false-negatived ("partial" when the agent was actually fully armed). Found while
+proving auto-arming end-to-end on a throwaway scratch agent.
+
+## Live-proof (test-as-self, the P0 acceptance)
+On a throwaway scratch Codex agent (own project + real logged-in ~/.codex, isolated + restored):
+reset to dark (allArmed:false) → armCodexHooks drove Codex's trust flow with ZERO human clicks
+(two-prompt state machine, no bypass flags) → `armed` (all 10 hooks trusted) → `codex exec`
+`rm -rf / --no-preserve-root` → **blocked**: "ERROR Command blocked by PreToolUse hook: BLOCKED:
+Catastrophic command detected: rm -rf /". Idempotent re-run → `already-armed`, no re-spawn.
+Scratch state + ~/.codex restored clean.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- One-line realpath canonicalization in the readback path; behavior-preserving on systems where
+  the path is already canonical. Fixes a false-negative that would have made arming look like it
+  failed (and triggered needless re-spawns). No migration impact (runtime code).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Over-block / Rollback
+- N/A (readback path correctness). Rollback: drop the realpath call.
+

+# Side-Effects Review: P0 arming wiring (init + migrate, B2-atomic)
+
+## Change
+Wire `armCodexHooks` into the two paths that write the Codex hooks.json, so registration is
+immediately followed by arming (the guards actually become live):
+- `PostUpdateMigrator` (update path): after `installCodexHooks`, arm — atomic with the rewrite
+  (the rewrite invalidates trust; re-arm now). Opt-out via `config.codex.autoArmHooks === false`.
+  Gated on `detectCodexPath()` (skip + log if no binary). Fail-soft: failures → result.errors,
+  never aborts migration. `partial` outcome is logged as a visible error.
+- `init.ts` (new agent): after `installCodexHooks`, best-effort arm (fail-soft — a brand-new agent
+  may not be Codex-logged-in yet; the first update's migration re-arms).
+
+## Why (B2 — the convergence review's blocking item)
+Rewriting hooks.json changes the hashes → Codex untrusts the guards until re-armed. Shipping the
+rewrite WITHOUT re-arming would leave existing Codex agents LESS protected than before (dark guards
+on an autonomous agent with no human to click trust). Arming in the same step closes that window.
+Idempotent: armCodexHooks skips the spawn when hooks are already trusted (unchanged), so this only
+drives Codex when the hook set actually changed.
+
+## Scope / blast radius
+- Migration/init now MAY spawn a one-time interactive codex (detached tmux, ~≤50s, NO bypass flags)
+  to drive Codex's trust prompt — ONLY when the hook set changed (idempotent skip otherwise) and
+  only for codex-cli agents with a resolvable binary. Detached → does not block the init wizard's
+  foreground. Fail-soft everywhere. Default ON; `config.codex.autoArmHooks:false` opts out.
+- No Claude-agent impact (codex-cli gated). No migration of existing data. Runtime code (ships with dist).
+
+## Signal vs Authority / Over-block
+- Arms existing safety hooks (makes them run); no new gate authority. Per-agent (path-keyed trust);
+  operator's personal Codex untouched (project-scoped hooks).
+
+## Rollback
+- Revert the two wiring blocks; the armCodexHooks/codexHookTrust modules remain (unused).
+
+## Tests
+- 37 green across migration-parity + installCodexHooks + codexHookArm + codexHookTrust (arming
+  skips in CI — no codex binary — so no regression). The arming itself is LIVE-PROVEN end-to-end
+  (see codex-parity-p0-arm-realpath-liveproof.md): fresh agent → armed (no clicks) → rm -rf blocked.
