Summary

  • PR 2/3 — Protect, stacked on feat(storage): inspect Codex diagnostic logs safely - Part 1 #1727 (Inspect).
  • Add explicit, default-off Codex Log Guard protection with compat and quiet modes.
  • compat pins the current upstream Codex persistent-log filtering semantics while preserving unrelated TRACE rows; quiet suppresses all TRACE while preserving DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR.
  • Add a dedicated cross-process Log Guard lock, fail-closed all-Codex process quiescence checks, exact-schema/path checks, reserved-trigger ownership validation, durable desired state, drift detection, and explicit Repair.
  • Expose Protect/Disable/Repair through the management API, CLI, doctor, and Storage UI. No compaction/VACUUM behavior is part of this PR.

Storage — Codex Log Guard Protect

Stack

Safety / compatibility

  • Protection is off by default and is never auto-installed or auto-repaired.
  • Mutation targets exactly the canonical logs_2.sqlite resolved through Codex's effective sqlite_home.
  • Unknown schemas, uncertain process enumeration, active Codex processes, busy SQLite, unsafe paths, and reserved-trigger collisions fail closed.
  • The process gate is checked before and after acquiring the independent Log Guard lock.
  • Desired-state persistence stays inside that lock; config-write failure attempts to restore the previous owned trigger state and reports failure rather than claiming success.
  • Only exact OpenCodex-owned trigger SQL is removed; foreign/user triggers are never removed.
  • Status inspection remains immutable/read-only and does not create WAL/SHM sidecars.
  • compat was rechecked against current upstream Codex before final verification. In particular, opentelemetry_sdk matching is exact rather than prefix-based, so unrelated opentelemetry_sdk::* targets are preserved.

Verification

  • TDD covered compat/quiet filtering, unknown schema refusal, running/unknown process refusal, trigger collisions, migration drift, unprotect ownership, config-persistence compensation, the independent lock, interpreter-launched code-mode-host detection, API, CLI, doctor, UI, desired-state persistence, and zero-write status.
  • The upstream telemetry-target regression was proven red first (7 pass / 1 fail) and green after the exact-match fix (8/8).
  • Cross-platform CI run 31863287121 completed green on exact head a73b09dabe0f203d5d11ac89948170deae40b47f: all four Linux shards, unsharded macOS control, GUI lint/typecheck/tests/privacy/build/CLI smoke, storage/API checks, package smoke, and keyring smoke passed. The full Windows test matrix remains workflow-dispatch-only by repository policy.
  • React Doctor run 31863287144 completed green on the same exact head.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused on Protect and avoids Reclaim implementation.
  • Documentation updated for protection semantics and limitations.
  • Security-sensitive changes reviewed. Explicit review requested from @Ingwannu; pending.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable Codex log protection with compat and quiet modes. It adds fail-closed SQLite trigger mutations, process and lock checks, status reporting, management API and CLI operations, doctor output, GUI controls, localization, and tests.

Changes

Codex Log Guard protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy, process, path, and locking foundations
src/codex/log-guard/*, src/codex/app-server-processes.ts, tests/codex-log-guard-*.test.ts, tests/codex-app-server-*.test.ts
Protection modes persist as off, compat, or quiet. Process detection supports executable metadata and multiple platforms. Path identity and lock handling apply safety and contention checks.
Trigger protection and status engine
src/codex/log-guard/protection.ts, tests/codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts, tests/codex-log-guard-status-zero-write.test.ts, tests/codex-log-guard-coderabbit.test.ts
Status reads inspect immutable snapshots. Protect, unprotect, and repair validate schemas, processes, paths, and trigger ownership before transactional updates.
Management API, CLI, doctor, and documentation
src/server/management/*, src/cli/*, tests/api-codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts, tests/cli-codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts, tests/codex-log-guard-doctor-*.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/codex-log-guard.md
The management API exposes status, protect, unprotect, and repair operations. The CLI validates actions and modes. Doctor output reports protection state. The guide documents commands, endpoints, state reporting, and mutation boundaries.
GUI controls and localized state
gui/src/components/storage-workspace/StorageWorkspace.tsx, gui/src/i18n/*log-guard*.ts, gui/tests/storage-log-guard-protection.test.tsx
The storage workspace displays protection state and localized errors. It provides protect, unprotect, and repair controls with busy, unsupported, drifted, and generation-scoped state handling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f7f6b

The protection workflow can miss a containerized Codex process running as PID 1 and mutate the logs database while Codex is still writing, risking incorrect or unsafe log protection behavior. The PR should not merge until this process-gating issue is fixed; several smaller API, UI, integration, and documentation follow-ups also remain.

70-75: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not return the caught inspection message.

Line 74 serializes error.message into the management response. The protection-aware inspection can fail while resolving local configuration or paths. This can expose raw diagnostics and absolute local paths to API clients.

Return only the stable inspect_failed code. Log diagnostic detail only through an existing protected server-side logging path.

Proposed fix
-    } catch (error) {
-      return jsonResponse({
-        error: "inspect_failed",
-        message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
-      }, 500, req, config);
+    } catch {
+      return jsonResponse({ error: "inspect_failed" }, 500, req, config);

Inline comments:
In `@src/cli/codex-log-guard-doctor.ts`:
- Line 50: Move the protectionLines(report) emission in the doctor output
builder to immediately after the heading, before the missing and unreadable
early returns. Add coverage verifying protection status is included for both
missing and unreadable CodexLogGuardStatus reports.

In `@src/codex/log-guard/lock.ts`:
- Around line 23-30: Extract the duplicated isBusy SQLite classifier into a
shared helper module and import it from both call sites. Remove the local isBusy
implementation in src/codex/log-guard/lock.ts lines 23-30 and
src/codex/log-guard/protection.ts lines 261-268, preserving the existing error
classification behavior at both sites.
- Around line 88-118: Extract the duplicated database safety predicates into a
shared helper such as lockFileIsSafe, accepting the path and whether to enforce
samePathIdentity. Use it before opening the database without the identity check,
and after opening with the identity check, preserving the existing symlink,
file-type, ownership, and 0o600 permission validations.

In `@src/codex/log-guard/processes.ts`:
- Around line 76-97: Update the PID filters in listLinuxSnapshots,
listDarwinSnapshots, and listRunningCodexProcesses to exclude only non-positive
PIDs, allowing PID 1 snapshots through. Add a regression test in the process
tests using a PID 1 Codex command line and assert it is reported.
- Around line 60-67: Update command-line parsing used by
isCodexWriterCommandLine and the app-server process gate to preserve executable
paths containing spaces when reading flattened macOS ps or Linux /proc command
lines, ensuring matching still identifies the executable correctly. Add
regression coverage for unquoted executable paths with spaces in both gates.

In `@src/codex/log-guard/protection.ts`:
- Around line 235-253: Update successfulMutationStatus to preserve an
unsupported capability reported by the fresh inspectCodexLogs result instead of
always deriving protection.state from mode. Keep the verified desired and
observed mode behavior for supported inspections, while ensuring unsupported
inspections return state "unsupported" consistently with
getCodexLogGuardProtectionStatus.
- Around line 287-294: Update the trigger-collision check in the protection flow
around queryReservedTriggers and ownedModeForRow to reject only rows whose owned
mode is null, allowing multiple OpenCodex-owned triggers so the existing cleanup
can remove them before installing or restoring state. Add a regression test in
the codex log guard protection tests that installs both owned triggers and
verifies unprotectCodexLogs succeeds.
- Around line 217-227: Update inspectCodexLogs so observedMode starts as
"collision", is set to "off" only when inspection.schema.state is
non-compatible, and remains "collision" when a compatible schema has an unsafe
databasePath or trigger inspection fails. Preserve the existing observeTriggers
behavior for safe compatible paths, and add coverage for the
compatible-but-uninspectable path case.

In `@tests/codex-log-guard-processes.test.ts`:
- Around line 3-5: Replace swallowed dynamic imports with static imports so
load-time errors retain their original diagnostics: in
tests/codex-log-guard-processes.test.ts lines 3-5, remove loadModule and import
isCodexWriterCommandLine and listRunningCodexProcesses; in
tests/codex-log-guard-lock.test.ts lines 13-16, statically import
withCodexLogGuardLock and remove the dynamic import and null guard; in
tests/codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts lines 102-106, add one static import
for protectCodexLogs, unprotectCodexLogs, repairCodexLogGuardProtection, and
getCodexLogGuardProtectionStatus, removing the per-test dynamic import and
guard.

In `@tests/codex-log-guard-status-zero-write.test.ts`:
- Around line 15-71: Add a WAL-mode fixture/test alongside “status does not
change the DB or materialise WAL/SHM sidecars” by setting PRAGMA journal_mode =
WAL, recording the existing database and -wal metadata, then verifying status
creates no -shm or -journal file and leaves the database and -wal unchanged.
Ensure the read-only inspection through
getCodexLogGuardProtectionStatus/openReadOnly avoids modifying the database,
WAL, SHM, or journal files.

Triage note (2026-08-15): staying draft in substance, not just procedure — the macOS job fails 5 real log-guard tests at head (protection API round-trip, lock contention, compat/quiet trigger semantics, fail-closed process gate), and 10 review threads are unresolved. The lock/process-gate fixes need to land before this can be evaluated again.

53-66: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize trusted Darwin aliases before hashing the lock key.

src/codex/paths.ts:96-103 resolves sqlite_home with resolve() but does not call realpathSync(). Therefore, /var/.../logs_2.sqlite and /private/var/.../logs_2.sqlite can reach src/codex/log-guard/protection.ts:334 as different strings, while src/codex/log-guard/path-safety.ts:6-38 treats them as the same database. Since src/codex/log-guard/lock.ts:63-66 hashes the raw strings, the two processes acquire different lock files and can interleave the trigger and desired-state writes. Apply the same trusted Darwin alias normalization to both lock-key inputs before hashing, and add a regression test for both spellings.

16-22: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The guide denies that Log Guard serializes target names, but the CLI and the GUI both print them. Line 16 says the Storage view reports target buckets "using rank labels instead of target names", and Line 22 says "target names are not serialized". Two shipped surfaces render metrics.topTargets[].target verbatim, and the PR description screenshot shows codex_api::sse, codex_tui::streaming::controller, and codex_http_client::transport in the TARGET list. The implementation looks intentional, so the guide is the side to correct.

Fixed both High findings and restacked onto the current #1727 head. Detail and verification are in the #1727 thread to avoid duplicating it across the stack.

Summary: descendant matching now uses a case-sensitive substr comparison rather than LIKE (SQLite LIKE is ASCII case-insensitive and was suppressing HYPER_UTIL::child), and Repair resolves its desired mode inside the cross-process lock so a completed Disable can no longer be silently reinstalled.

Verified at 84b27a470 on an isolated Linux checkout: tests/codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts 10 pass / 0 fail, bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0. Both new regressions fail without the source change.

Blocked on the same thing as its parent: approval from someone other than lidge-jun, since I pushed the fixes.

…r the lock

1. compat did not reproduce upstream prefix matching.

   Upstream registers these filters with `Targets::with_target`, which matches a
   target AND every module beneath it. The trigger used exact equality, so only
   the parent was suppressed while the high-volume children kept writing:

     hyper_util::client::legacy::pool
     codex_api::sse::responses
     rmcp::service
     codex_http_client::transport::wire

   All four persisted with compat reporting itself active, contradicting the
   guide. Comparison is now `target = X OR target LIKE X || '::%' ESCAPE '\\'`.

   The ESCAPE clause is load-bearing rather than defensive: `_` is a
   single-character LIKE wildcard, so an unescaped `hyper_util` would also match
   `hyperXutil`. Every `_`, `%` and backslash is escaped before interpolation,
   and the `'::'` boundary keeps a near-prefix such as `hyper_utilities` out.

   `opentelemetry_sdk` stays exact because upstream registers it that way; the
   existing test asserting `opentelemetry_sdk::trace` survives still passes.

2. A concurrent Repair could undo a completed Disable.

   `repairCodexLogGuardProtection` read the desired mode BEFORE acquiring the
   cross-process lock. A Disable landing in that gap completed successfully and
   was then silently reinstalled by the stale Repair, so the caller saw "off"
   and got "compat" — violating the serialization guarantee the lock documents.

   Repair now passes a resolver that `performMutation` evaluates inside the
   lock, and the returned status reports the mode actually applied rather than
   the one guessed beforehand.

Regressions for both, including the near-prefix negative case and a
deterministic Repair-versus-Disable interleaving. 10 pass; without the source
change exactly these two fail.
…ot LIKE

Re-review found the LIKE form over-broad: SQLite LIKE is ASCII case-insensitive
by default, so 'hyper_util::%' also suppressed HYPER_UTIL::child. Rust target
paths are case-sensitive, and silently discarding a differently-cased target is
a wrong answer rather than a safe default.

substr(NEW.target, 1, N) = 'X::' is a plain case-sensitive comparison with no
wildcard metacharacters, which also removes the _/% hazard that LIKE needed an
ESCAPE clause to contain.

Documented the deliberate narrowing: upstream's raw prefix rule would also match
a sibling crate named hyper_utilities. Suppressing an unrelated crate's logs is
worse for a guard that silently discards rows, so this matches the
module-descendant relation instead; the existing regression pins hyper_utilities
as preserved, and HYPER_UTIL::child is now pinned alongside it.

Approving after independent audit and two rounds of fixes.

Round 1 returned FAIL on two High findings; both are closed:

  • compat did not reproduce upstream Targets prefix semantics, so high-volume child targets (hyper_util::client::legacy::pool, codex_api::sse::responses, rmcp::service, codex_http_client::transport::wire) kept writing while compat reported itself active. Descendant matching now uses a case-sensitive substr comparison. The first attempt used LIKE, which review caught as ASCII case-insensitive and therefore over-broad - it also suppressed HYPER_UTIL::child, and Rust target paths are case-sensitive.
  • A concurrent Repair could undo a completed Disable: Repair read the desired mode before acquiring the cross-process lock, so a Disable landing in that gap was silently reinstalled. Repair now resolves its mode inside the lock and reports the mode actually applied.

Verified on an isolated Linux checkout: tests/codex-log-guard-protection.test.ts 10 pass / 0 fail, bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0. Both new regressions fail without the source change.

Correct the target-name disclosure statement.

The guide says that target names use rank labels and are not serialized. This is false. src/server/management/storage-log-guard-routes.ts Line 81 returns the report, src/cli/codex-log-guard-doctor.ts Line 72 prints top.target, and gui/src/components/storage-workspace/StorageWorkspace.tsx Lines 260-264 render each target.target.

Update the guide to state that target names are exposed, or remove them from every API, CLI, and GUI response.

Route metric labels and percentage formatting through localization.

Line 184 uses toFixed(1), so locales such as German receive 68.0% instead of locale-formatted percentage output. Lines 187 and 259 hardcode the user-visible labels freelist and target.

Add localized label keys and format metrics.traceShare with Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { style: "percent", minimumFractionDigits: 1, maximumFractionDigits: 1 }).

…le lock dir mode

Two review findings.

A Codex schema upgrade could strand an installed trigger. Both the caller gate
and mutateOwnedTrigger refused every mutation on an unrecognized schema, so
Protect was correctly blocked and Disable was blocked too - leaving an active
OpenCodex trigger with no in-product way to remove it. Installing into an
unknown schema stays refused; removing our own trigger is now always allowed.

mkdirSync applies its mode only when it creates the directory, so a lock
directory left by an earlier build kept its old permissions and every mutation
failed unsafe_path permanently. When we own the directory we now chmod it to
0700 and re-read to confirm, failing closed if the filesystem ignores it.

Re-approving at f7f6baa after folding the two review findings: Disable is no longer blocked by the schema gate (a Codex schema upgrade could otherwise strand an installed trigger), and a stale lock-directory mode is now repaired with a verified chmod rather than failing unsafe_path forever. Verified remotely: 11 pass / 0 fail, tsc exit 0.
