v1.87.6.0 fix: make checks reliable and everyday validation faster (#2898)

* fix: acknowledge seeded plans before invoking review skills * fix: distinguish current plan input from conversation history * fix: keep hermetic plan reviews on manual permissions * fix: distinguish tool discovery from file permission ownership * fix: preserve initial plan mode in observation tests * fix: wait for scope decisions before writing review findings * fix: carry autoplan decisions consistently into review artifacts * test: retain native failure context in periodic assertions * fix: advance active file permissions before queued questions * fix: finish red-team attempts before retry and cleanup * fix: finalize plan format captures and judges before retry * fix: cancel setup-gbrain SDK attempts before fixture cleanup * test: select periodic consumers of the bounded attempt helper * fix native Bash permission cards and queued questions * fix: preserve independent decisions and review scope Keep CEO approach, engineering scope and outside-review choices from approving independent remedies together. Carry declared contracts through DX polish and resolve new gaps before editing the plan. Regenerate every host and retain existing stop boundaries. Validation: 654 focused tests passed across nine files; all-host generation passed. Full free and periodic validation pending. Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * fix: require approval before design plan amendments Align the Design review philosophy and rating recipe with its section protocol: resolve one proposed fix, then apply only that approved decision and retain honest scores for declined fixes. Validation: 469 focused tests passed across four files; all-host generation passed. Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * fix: observe native question completion before transcript persistence Match owned completion hooks to submitted choices, reject conflicting or late answers, and retain bounded failure evidence. * test: recognize review posture in acknowledged native questions Require the selected mode acknowledgement, a completed follow-up question, and its current decoded display while preserving existing posture assertions. * fix: preserve settled CEO choices and isolate pending remedies Resolve established approach gates with cited authority and keep independent fixes out of unrelated option commitments and plan amendments. * fix: carry approved DX choices through later review steps Choose documentation approaches within the accepted scope and map resolved confusion points without reopening them through a bulk menu. * test: handle native settings-file edit prompts Keep one-time owned-file approvals and retain the actual sampled Autoplan permission frame with its matching barrier state. * test: accept standard CEO reply directives with tuning footers Recognize the exact trailing preference footer and letter-list directive while preserving current-display and exact acknowledgement checks. * test: scope split reviewers to their generated plan artifacts * test: observe native Bash permissions and invocation results * test: handle owned Bash prompts during mode preference checks * test: preserve synchronous subprocess rejection in Codex fixture * Fix periodic review handoff navigation Recognize review-first and explicit manual-next-step labels while preserving exact action families, manual preference, and ambiguous-menu rejection. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Bind pending file permissions to distinct current targets Allow one captured file request to own the complete current dialog while unrelated file work is pending. Preserve same-path ambiguity, exact input ownership, and one-time grant checks. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Make paired CEO verification choices genuinely unresolved Start the positive control with proposed manual checks so its unchanged oracle measures two new coverage decisions. Preserve runtime contracts, targets, count bounds, and all assertions. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep CEO review options and verification within approved scope Audit every offered option for independent add-ons and keep new verification depth pending until accepted. Preserve already requested coverage and trace plan changes to the actual decision. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Assemble DX review artifacts before appending the final report Keep early DX evidence above decisions, update artifact sections in place, and append the report using the actual current file suffix. Re-read after deleting an existing report before choosing the append anchor. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep outside plan reviews exclusive and invocation-owned Follow one preflight-selected backend, terminate failed Codex work before fallback, and allocate extra prompt/output files uniquely. Consume only the current invocation’s completed output. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Select periodic completion evaluations for report writer changes Register the shared review resolver for eight missing consumers and regress selection for all nine completion cases without changing their IDs or tiers. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep permission ambiguity fixtures on the same normalized target Use distinct raw spellings of one target in the four negative fixtures so they exercise the normalized duplicate-owner guard after exact current-file disambiguation. Preserve the existing exception, no-input, diagnostic and cleanup assertions. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Clarify preserved contracts in engineering review fixture Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Recognize the offered DX follow-up handoff Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Check independent commitments before presenting review options Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep Codex review output and status in one shell invocation Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Distinguish seeded plans from reports written by a test attempt Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Recover clipped Autoplan file approvals with bounded viewport resizing Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Recover clipped Bash approvals before binding the complete command Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Isolate setup message tests from the shared checkout Run the real installer in a temporary payload with private config, require successful completion, and guard source and binary contents and mtimes. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Fix periodic native permission and report completion handling Match the pinned CLI's soft wraps and clipped headings without granting from incomplete frames. Retire completed file requests, retain mode annotations, and ask section captures for a short final acknowledgement after their full report is saved. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Preserve review approvals and validate DX comparison artifacts Keep independent remedies and approved amendments explicit. Give the synthetic DX review its existing documentation and validate peer comparison as required analysis alongside four native decisions. Add positive and negative semantic calibrations while preserving review counts, model budgets and prompt size limits. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Make the five-finding CEO fixture's application boundary explicit Materialize the request adapter and service composition used by the synthetic payment application. Explicitly declare the revised unregistered-event and mail-telemetry assumptions while preserving uncaught handler errors, the original invoice path and all five unresolved findings. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep CEO state-path checks scoped to directory preparation Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Use checked ports and bounded cleanup in pair-agent tests Discover the daemon port from its owned state file, retain startup diagnostics, and await failed-start cleanup. Add occupied-port, early-exit, deadline, and foreign-state regressions while preserving the existing HTTP assertions and hook budgets. Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Preserve queued edit identity and recover clipped Bash permissions Distinguish separately queued unfinished edits from mutation of one native tool ID. Keep grants bound to an exact owned request and reject reused IDs, ambiguous inputs, and competing owners. Support the pinned renderer's literal em dash and request a repaint when only the Bash card's top rule is clipped. Grants still require the complete fresh card and an exact native acknowledgment. Validation: 413 integrated parser/event tests passed; private repaint controls and joint source review passed. Full canonical suite and native periodic rerun remain pending. Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep periodic reviews within their approved contracts and deliverables Carry exact approvals through engineering review, preserve declared contracts when amending CEO plans, and keep prioritization at the requested decision level. Materialize the revised synthetic SDK reference contract while retaining the five original documentation gaps. Accept the observed semicolon in the finite DX handoff menu and register the direct source dependencies used by the engineering cases. Regenerate canonical review documents without changing model budgets, retries, count bands, or native completion assertions. Validation: all-host generation and 275 review, fixture, selection and parity tests passed. Full free-suite and native periodic validation remain pending. Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> * Keep Eng approval cadence and independence guards explicit * Accept ordinary punctuation in manual review handoffs * Recover file permissions alongside queued Bash calls * Carry approved DX work through later review findings * Clarify the synthetic auth internal failure decision * Bound the periodic DX fixture to onboarding changes * Recognize native Design review handoff labels * Hold scope in the integration-choice review fixture * Carry approved Design decisions through review evidence * Capture listener state when feedback reload fails * Exclude workspace caches before checking deprecated flags * Verify Design UI scope against a seeded review plan * Clarify plan review decisions and outside-voice approval flow * Reject setup menus in the Design UI gate * docs: require focused repair validation before final acceptance * fix: separate review commitments within existing prompt budgets * docs: align generation and contributor validation guidance * fix: advance native review prompts and count acknowledged findings * chore: bump version and changelog (v1.87.1.0) Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> * chore: enforce cheap checks and side-effect-free validation previews * fix: handle owned Fetch permissions and oversized native cards * test: ground review fixtures in independent executable contracts * fix: preserve review decisions and verify reports before completion * test: construct the synthetic credential URL without a scanner false positive * test: materialize DX examples and verify their actual local behavior * fix: clarify CEO review decisions and execution order * fix: clarify review workflow ordering and select Design quality checks * Fix review decision gates and incomplete evaluation fixtures Persist CEO and engineering commitment ledgers before menus, preserve exact approvals, and distinguish implementation structure from feature scope. Route Autoplan through the canonical CEO Step 0 ordering. Classify DX findings before requesting approval and ground runtime claims in actual evidence. Complete neutral non-target fixture contracts and accept the captured Design handoff purpose without relaxing its ownership or acknowledgment checks. Record runtime-capability verification in AGENTS.md validation discipline. Validation: 1,335 focused tests passed across 21 files; build, all-host freshness, skill validation (647 artifacts / 107 tracked), and credential checks passed. Prior paid failures are preserved; behavioral acceptance remains pending. * Fix review decision boundaries and owned Read prompts Preserve exact approvals across review options, compare consistent DX milestones, and keep proposed implementation separate from review evidence. Bind modern Read prompts to one immutable native request and wait for its result. Retain captured regression verdicts, correct fixture error names, improve import probe diagnostics, and record focused-first validation discipline in AGENTS.md. * Clarify CEO and engineering review decisions Use explicit decision steps, one engineering ledger, and clear scope/write transitions. Preserve exact approvals and distinguish pending test requirements. Keep unrelated generated content unchanged. * Fix review decision ordering and native evaluation interactions * Clarify engineering decisions and test artifact order * Clarify pending choices and approvals in CEO reviews * Make CEO review phases sequential and clarify completion * Fix Design board submission intent matching * Seed an existing browser test baseline for Autoplan * Document decision-log payloads before state initialization * Preserve exact review scope and decide one change before drafting options * Require input identity before repeating passing model judges * Honor
