Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Some valid-looking retry settings can fail at run start, a worker mismatch can end a run instead of re-electing it, and a disconnected drive peer can leave a Codex step waiting. Resolve these paths before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Retry limits and recovery behavior are substantially better bounded, but the new interactive-input and diagnostic paths leave meaningful questions about who can control an attempt and who can read its raw output.

This also echoes DRIVE-LOG’s recorded #252 failure mode: retry behavior was described more strongly than the actual control flow supported. Here the mismatch is directly observable from the two separate completion paths, so it is not an aspirational deferral. Concern
NotesThe bounded transport budget, narrow failure classification, preserved idempotency key/pins, and terminal handling of ordinary nonzero exits align with recorded history and RFC semantics. The two commit subjects make no false test, evidence, or scope claims. REVIEW_FAILED |

…repair torn parks Review of #501 (history lens, Cursor Bugbot) found `completion_actions` retried every budget-eligible `crashed`/`lease_expired` without reading the agent step's `recovery_mode`; only the kernel-noticed death (`abandonment_actions`) honoured `manual`. The same dead attempt therefore parked or redispatched depending on who noticed it first, against RFC-0001 Appendix A rule 4. - `completion_actions` parks a `manual` agent step on a worker-reported transport loss (`disposition: park` + `wait.human`), at any transport budget. It takes the journaled `start_pins` so the diff is anchored on the kernel's pin, never the worker's `end_pins` claim. The `wait.human` is built by one shared `manual_park_wait` for both producers. - A park is two appends; dying between them left a permanent, unanswerable park (raised in independent review). `state::park_placeholder_wait_id` names the placeholder and `recovery_actions_filtered` journals the missing `wait.human` on resume, once. Closes the same latent gap on the abandonment path. - `all_backing_off_steps_return_timers` regains a retryable failure precondition (`crashed`; `worker_error` is terminal since the budget split). - `step.attempt.started.max_transport_retries` is always journaled, like `max_iterations`; the old `skip_serializing_if` omitted the explicit zero that explains why a lost process was not retried, and contradicted DESIGN.md. DESIGN.md reconciled and now ties the SDK classifier, the completion-reason alphabet and the kernel disposition together. Tests: core unit (both producers, torn-park repair, journal field), in-process engine crash injection between the two appends, and a real-daemon protocol test (crashed / lease_expired / budget 0, silence probe, SIGKILL + resume, human answer redispatches on the pinned revision). Mutation red/green and full kernel + SDK runs captured in kernel/evidence/501/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Session-Id: 144d3b43-0019-4de3-988a-7cd9ba4fc148
…p the park sentinel crate-internal, literal mutation transcript Owner audit of 2e784ea asked for three things and a reviewer asked for two more verification captures; nothing in production behaviour changes. - Move the three new manual-recovery unit tests into `machine/recovery_tests.rs`; `machine/tests.rs` keeps the restored `all_backing_off_steps_return_timers` and lends its fixtures as `pub(super)`. No assertion weakened or removed. - `park_placeholder_wait_id` is `pub(crate)` again with no lib.rs re-export; it is a fold sentinel, not kernel API. - Replace the three mutation evidence files with one literal transcript (`mutation-transcript.txt`): pre-mutation sha256, the applied diffs, the red runs, `cp` restore, `sha256sum -c` OK, green runs. The README's "byte-for-byte" claim now points at the command that proves it. - Strip trailing whitespace from captured logs so `git diff --check` passes; README says so. - Add `green-sdk-authored-node-runtime.txt` (standalone suite under isolated Bun 1.4.0 + Node 22.23.2: 14/14) and `codex-live-probe.txt` (one bounded live run of codex-cli 0.154.0 through the direct unattended transport: success; also records the pre-existing `cwd` preflight/run mismatch).

Stale drive enrollment opens stdin
Medium Severity
waitForDrive latches driveConnected on a HELLO drive and never clears it when that peer drops, and spawnInvocation then pipes stdin from that sticky flag. A drive subscriber that greets and disconnects during the 100ms window still starts the child with a writable pipe and nobody to close it, so Codex can re-enter its additional-input lifecycle. Broken subscribers are documented not to change the step, but this path can hang the attempt until lease expiry.

neither retry budget, and remove the claim that the step retries based on worker
reports until max_iterations is exhausted.
- Around line 428-434: Update the dispatch handling in drive.rs so PinMismatch
re-elects the step without dispatching stale pins, rather than becoming a
terminal WorkerError; preserve pinned-revision and idempotency checks when
creating the next attempt.

- Line 205: Update the transport stderr handling in failureCause so
producerTruncated recognizes the transport truncation marker appended to bounded

ensuring truncated transport evidence is treated as incomplete and cannot
produce an unchanged result in compareAttempts.
In `@packages/sdk/src/worker-cli.ts`:
- Around line 335-354: Update the driven-child lifecycle around `stdin`,
`canDrive`, and `writeInput` so that when the last drive peer disconnects, the
child’s stdin is ended; ensure queued writes do not keep the pipe open
afterward.

The proposed operational finding is supported. PinMismatch is explicitly required to fail closed and re-elect the step, but drive.rs maps it to terminal WorkerError. The changed test therefore accepts behavior that violates the dispatch contract and prevents re-election.
Restore a dispatch-specific retry path that re-elects the step without dispatching the stale pins. Do not use a blind generic retry: preserve the pinned-revision and idempotency checks when creating the next attempt.

Enforce the kernel u32 limit in the SDK and schema.
4294967296 passes the SDK checks and reaches max_transport_retries. The kernel deserializes that field as u32 and can reject the spec. toKernelSpec does not provide an unchecked bypass because it calls compileSpec.
Adding the maximum to the five schema definitions is necessary but not sufficient. The SDK performs separate validation, so add the same upper bound there.

Keep the final transport diagnostic in stderr_tail.
boundedText keeps the UTF-8-safe prefix. A long stderr value can therefore omit the final error. worker.ts applies the same prefix bound to the result field, and selectEvidence prefers that field over transport.stderr_tail.
Use a UTF-8-safe suffix with an explicit omitted-byte count for both stderr fields.

**Treat truncated transport stderr as incomplete attempt evidence.**
boundedText adds a transport truncation marker to stderr longer than 2 KiB. failureCause compares that bounded value, but producerTruncated does not recognize the marker. Two failures with the same first 2 KiB and the same total length can therefore produce the same key. compareAttempts can return unchanged, and the diagnostic can incorrectly state that the failure evidence is unchanged.
Include the transport marker in producerTruncated.

Close driven Codex stdin when the last drive peer disconnects.
pty-sidechannel.ts removes the disconnected peer, but worker-cli.ts keeps the driven child’s stdin pipe open. The local Codex contract states that Codex waits for the stdin lifecycle. Codex agent invocations set timeoutMs to 0, so this step can hang indefinitely after the driver disconnects.
End stdin when the last drive peer disconnects. Alternatively, reject Codex drive enrollment before spawning the child.

Root cause
Direct agent CLIs were always spawned with a piped stdin. The worker opened the
sidechannel around startup and closed the unused pipe after a delay, but Codex
had already detected non-TTY stdin and entered its additional-input lifecycle.

stderr. The kernel then conflated semantic iteration with infrastructure

The review delta closes the manual-recovery gap: worker-reported crashed or lease_expired completions now park under recoveryMode: manual before consulting the retry budget, including a zero budget. The wait.human append uses the journaled start pin, and resume repairs a process death between the park placeholder and wait append idempotently. The general timer test again requires a retryable crash, max_transport_retries is always journaled, and older journals still read through the serde default. Internal helpers remain crate-private.
