Garry TanandOpenAI Codex 9f81911136 v1.86.0.0 feat: route outside reviews by harness (#2850)
* feat: add a restricted and supervised Claude Code runner

Preserve configured authentication and models while enforcing tool access, strict completion JSON, bounded output and process cleanup. Cover argv, failure handling, session metadata and Windows process containment.

* feat: route outside reviews by harness and migrate wrapper installs

Use Claude Code from Codex and Codex from other supported hosts, with shared invocation rendering, positive gate validation and per-phase provenance. Rename /claude to /claude-code, repair managed shared and copied installations safely, and generate native Kiro skills. Add installed-workflow, failure-injection and live cross-harness regression coverage.

* test: recognize CEO mode labels without terminal spacing

The paid workflow rendered SCOPEEXPANSION at option 4, but its driver required a literal space. Match the leading mode title without cursor-spacing artifacts and ignore adjacent preview text. Preserve missing-target failures and downstream posture assertions.

* test: isolate plan-count fixtures before starting review workflows

Seed the complete test plan in a private git repository before launching Claude, so a bare slash command cannot review the live workspace while a delayed fixture message remains queued. Preserve count thresholds, parsers and budgets. Add initial-context and installed-discovery tests, and retain startup/terminal diagnostics on failed evaluations.

* test: stabilize review fixtures and Claude eval startup

Preserve source boundaries in workflow judge inputs, isolate CEO mode plans, and wait for interactive trust input readiness. Keep startup failure evidence and retain existing models, budgets, and assertions.

* test: classify collapsed review modes and isolate seeded findings

Keep review questions out of the setup count when terminal cursor positioning removes spaces. State existing webhook safeguards so the five-finding control measures its seeded defects without accidental extra security and concurrency gaps. Preserve question bands and the paired control.

* chore: prepare v1.82.0.0 release

Co-Authored-By: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* fix: eliminate browser and process-cleanup test flakes

Pin every CI surface to Bun 1.4.0 to avoid extra-stdio finalizers closing
reused live sockets. Add an isolated GC/listener regression that fails on
Bun 1.3.13, and prevent coordinated rollback to an affected CI runtime.

Check renderer cleanup against the render's own staging directory so
concurrent renders cannot invalidate the assertion. Make the no-pgrep
process-tree walk tolerate disappearing /proc entries, and synchronize
its test fixture through child readiness and pipe EOF instead of sleeps.

Validation: 9,157 passed, 31 skipped, zero failures across 556 files with
retries disabled. Build, all-host generation freshness, and skill checks
passed. All three races have failing-before/passing-after regressions.

* fix: count completed native review questions in evals

* fix: drive review navigation from confirmed native choices

* fix: require complete section-loading eval reports

* test: isolate telemetry HTTP transport from local assertions

* fix: keep review input on the active native question

* test: let tunnel revocation daemon choose an available port

Load installed host reviews at autoplan phase entry and wait for completed
reviewers and saved artifacts. Reuse approved remedies while preserving
individual finding decisions.

Drive interactive evals from the current terminal viewport, bind native
questions across scrolling, and require complete native report evidence.
Cover captured stale menus, permission lifecycles, setup classification,
and disabled-review tool availability with deterministic regressions.

Advance release metadata and the upgrade migration to the unclaimed
1.83.0.0 slot.

* fix: drive native review questions and preserve current plans

Use the native single-choice keyboard protocol and current terminal viewport,
with per-question navigation inside packets and completed-call coverage.
Keep permissions, multi-select menus, and Submit controls distinct.

Send Autoplan reviewers the amended implementation plan, keep its review record
separate, and supply retained application contracts in the chain fixture.
Clarify individual DevEx decisions and complete CEO fix options; use one active
plan destination for the section-loading report.

* fix: preserve review obligations and unblock eval permissions

Carry recorded Autoplan requirements into blind phase inputs, require Eng
review approvals before exit, and exercise combined asynchronous flows in
CEO reviews. Correct native finding and handoff classification and unblock
repeated report edits using scoped request identities.

* fix: retain plan requirements and complete native review dialogs

* fix: complete native review prompts and retain plan references

* fix: preserve review inputs and classify native eval evidence

* fix: check competing completion orders in CEO reviews

Require the current phase methodology before Autoplan snapshots. Correct
substantive decision, closed handoff, and cache-finding classification, and
honor the recommended implementation approach in native review dialogs.

Add captured-transcript regressions without changing review thresholds,
provider models, retries, or deadlines.

one-request approval when a preceding command display remains visible.
Keep reviews within their existing size limits and preserve scope gates
when extracting workflow fixtures from either supported preamble header.

Keep failure outcomes, review thresholds, provider choices, and eval budgets.

* test: fix Windows CI fixtures and credential scan

Rebase captured JSON values and filesystem evidence using the appropriate
path convention. Compile native fake CLIs on Windows and synchronize pipe
holder readiness, with cleanup retained when assertions fail.

Assemble synthetic credential fixtures at runtime so the added-line scan
keeps enforcing the same gate without flagging its own rejection controls.

Discover generated skills directly for the empty-find regression check,
avoiding a recursive scan through saved evaluation artifacts and dependencies.

* fix: preserve source renders on Windows

Compare canonical generator paths using native separators so an output
sidecar pointing at the source cannot overwrite its skill or metadata.
Keep the regression fixture isolated from the real checkout and expose
freshness diagnostics before asserting subprocess status.

Detach Windows drain-test pipe holders from the fake provider's automatic
child cleanup while preserving the enclosing runner job and its assertions.

* fix: clarify outside review fallback and CEO decisions

Render one applicable own-harness fallback path and retain native review,
disabled policy, and missing-coverage semantics. Align report field names
and mode labels, and make the existing per-cut scope approval explicit.

Regenerate skill outputs and keep the workflow judge's model, thresholds,
and retry policy unchanged.

* chore: move release to free version slot (v1.86.0.0)

PR #2852 now claims v1.85.0.0. Align the release metadata and
rename migration so upgrades from that version still receive it.

* fix: include engineering review prerequisites and restore branch context

* fix: recognize coverage diagrams and clarify design review instructions

* fix: preserve file identities and join Windows test processes

The fix is to make every failure land in one place that always says no and always writes a log line.\nStakes if we pick wrong: A signature check or tenant lookup that throws becomes an allowed request with no trace in the logs.\nRecommendation: 4A because a flat pipeline with typed errors and one fail-closed boundary is both the safest and the easiest to test branch by branch; explicit over clever.\nCompleteness: 4A=10/10, 4B=7/10, 4C=3/10\nPros / cons:\n4A) Flatten into a linear pipeline of small steps; define typed errors (TokenError, PolicyError, TenantError, IdpError); one catch at the boundary maps every error to an explicit deny result with a structured log and metric; unknown errors also deny (human: ~1 day / CC: ~20 min) (recommended)\n ✅ Every failure path denies and is observable; no branch can silently pass a request\n ✅ Each step is a pure-ish function you can unit test in isolation, and the boundary gets one test per error class\n ❌ Callers that relied on a swallowed error to continue will now see a deny and must be updated\n4B) Keep the structure, stop swallowing: each existing catch rethrows a typed error, one outer catch denies (human: ~0.5 day / CC: ~10 min)\n ✅ Small diff on the existing function, fail-open path is closed\n ✅ No caller behavior change beyond receiving denies where errors were hidden\n ❌ Still 60 lines and three nesting levels; branch coverage stays hard to reason about\n4C) Leave as-is, add logging inside each catch (human: ~0.25 day / CC: ~5 min)\n ✅ Cheapest possible change, purely additive\n ✅ You at least see the swallowed errors in logs\n ❌ Still fail-open; logging a bypass is not preventing one\nNet: You are trading a one-function refactor for an auth dispatcher that cannot pass a request it failed to validate.": "4A Flatten + typed errors (recommended)"
