feat(hosts): authenticate cross-host adapter packages by SUaDtL · Pull Request #711 · arbiterForge/codeArbiter

SUaDtL · 2026-08-26T11:43:13Z

Summary

Make the adapter boundary host-aware while keeping core/ plus deterministic generators as the internal source of truth.

authenticate Claude, Codex, and Pi adapter roots with exact package identity and version binding
ship the complete Codex agent charter and route set so installed workflows no longer reference missing resources
bind ca-codex publication to the exact desktop-tested candidate archive and trusted receipt provenance
preserve Pi as Forge-only and do not publish a standalone ca-core runtime package

Why

Installed Codex packages currently expose workflows that route to resources they do not ship (#699, #706). Root compatibility aliases also need fail-closed host validation so one adapter cannot satisfy another adapter's authority checks.

Verification

All 23 prescribed standalone Python suites
Hook suite: 1,401 tests
Release workflow: 99 tests
Candidate provenance: 12 tests
Codex resource contract: 139 tests, 1 intentional skip
CI impact: 59 tests
Pi typecheck, 840 tests with 1 intentional skip, deterministic build, package, parity, and docs checks
Deterministic candidate rebuilt byte-identically and package contract passed
Independent auth/crypto, security, dependency, and coverage reviews passed with no Critical or High findings

Python hook and workflow-script coverage uses the documented no-tooling exemption in .codearbiter/tech-stack.md. Those changed surfaces are covered by direct positive and negative behavioral tests because the repository defines no numeric Python coverage command or floor.

Decision boundary

ADR-0031 keeps core/ and deterministic generators internal, publishes separate Claude and Codex adapters, and keeps Pi Forge-only. It explicitly avoids a separately published or runtime ca-core package.

This PR opens at commit C. The protected default-branch desktop workflow will produce the exact receipt and attestation. A later attestation-only commit R will add only the approved evidence paths before merge readiness.

Closes #699
Closes #706

Derive installed adapter roots from executing anchors so host environment values can only corroborate the active package.\n\nCHANGELOG: Adapter hooks now reject mismatched or escaped plugin roots.

Keep lexical adapter boundaries authoritative so symlinked hooks and statusline options cannot select a foreign package. Align core-source test fixtures with the authenticated-host contract. CHANGELOG: Adapter root resolution now rejects foreign symlink and explicit-root redirects.

Resolve routed Codex agent references through generated Markdown charters and make dispatch constraints explicit without claiming native registration. CHANGELOG: Codex packages now include resource charters for routed governance roles. Ref: ADR-0031

Preserve native root execution while rejecting package-resource escapes so installed host checks cannot validate targets outside their authority. CHANGELOG: Codex package resources now reject escaping paths and keep release helpers executable under the native plugin root.

Bind the generated Codex agent inventory to its installed route receipt and fail closed when routes, index entries, or package containment drift. Keep the Pi identity proof durable without trusting linked-worktree files. CHANGELOG: Codex host validation now proves complete installed agent routing and strict package containment. Ref: ADR-0031

Fail closed on portable root syntax so host-specific compatibility cannot silently spread. Ref: task-5

Exclude ignored local evidence from the committed root-token contract. Ref: task-5

Keep compatibility inputs explicit so new portable scripts fail closed. Ref: task-5

Preserve the PR2 audit prefix while carrying forward the exact issue #695 maintenance records required before integrating its landed fix.

Bring the maintainer-landed marker-root fix and actual adapter base versions into the PR2 feature branch before Task 6 release metadata work.

Freeze the reviewed Codex adapter candidate across PR synthesis, merge queues, and release so only the protected Windows attestation receipt may follow it. Bind host roots to exact adapter versions and advance every affected package metadata surface atomically. CHANGELOG: Add fail-closed Codex desktop candidate provenance and exact host adapter version binding. Ref: ADR-0031

Bring the current main release-publication behavior into the frozen PR2 candidate so its provenance closure authenticates what will actually publish after landing. Ref: #710

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added Codex’s catalog of 18 reviewer, author, scout, and support agents with documented routing and policies.
- Improved host-specific plugin resource handling for Claude, Codex, and Pi.
Bug Fixes
- Added stricter protection against invalid plugin roots, path traversal, symlink escapes, and mismatched installations.
- Improved Codex hook and agent-route validation.
Release
- Updated Claude to 2.15.6, Codex to 0.7.5, and Pi to 0.8.5.
- Added provenance checks before Codex releases are published.

Walkthrough

This change adds authenticated plugin-root resolution, Codex agent-charter packaging and route validation, isolated installation checks, and candidate provenance gates for CI and releases. It also updates host descriptors, hooks, tests, package versions, changelogs, and provenance hashes.

Changes

Codex packaging and root validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Host root contracts and authenticated resolution `core/hosts.json`, `core/pysrc/hostapi.py`, `core/pysrc/wire-statusline.py`, `tools/host_descriptors.py`	Host-specific root contracts now define Markdown and hook-token behavior. Runtime resolution validates adapter identity, manifests, anchors, containment, and environment signals.
Codex agent packaging and route contracts `tools/build-surface.py`, `plugins/ca-codex/agents/*`, `plugins/ca-codex/hooks/hooks.json`, `.github/scripts/codex_agent_routes.py`	Codex now packages canonical agent charters, generates dispatch policy and route statistics, uses relative Markdown links, and validates literal and generic agent routes.
Root, resource, and installation validation `.github/scripts/check-plugin-refs.py`, `.github/scripts/check_codex_host.py`, `.github/scripts/check_codex_skill_resources.py`, `.github/scripts/test_`, `plugins/ca/hooks/tests/`	Checks and tests enforce root-token classification, package containment, safe resource templates, authenticated fixture roots, hook resolution, and isolated package execution.

Candidate provenance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Candidate provenance verification `.github/scripts/verify_codex_candidate_provenance.py`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `.github/scripts/test_codex_candidate_provenance.py`, `.github/scripts/test_release_workflow.py`	Candidate receipts, ancestry, attestation evidence, archive contents, manifests, release payloads, and merge-group results are verified before CI gates or Codex publishing proceed.

Release metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release metadata and provenance records `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md`, `package.json`, `plugins/ca-codex/`, `plugins/ca-pi/`, `plugins/ca/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.codearbiter/.provenance/release-targets.json`	Project and plugin versions move to the documented releases, changelogs are updated, and tracked release-target hashes are refreshed.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 399fb

This PR makes adapter roots host-aware and adds the Codex agent/resource set, but the current package can still fail to find required lens mandates, may invoke the usage-receipt helper incorrectly, and can emit malformed Markdown links for valid Windows-style paths. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

tools/build-surface.py (1)
175-179: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Generalize the executable-path exception beyond the single hard-coded filename.

replace keeps the root token only when the path is exactly hooks/_releaselib.py. Any other executable hook path becomes a Markdown link. For example, a shared body that writes "$PY" {{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/hooks/tribunal-usage.py observe renders on Codex as "$PY" [hooks/tribunal-usage.py](../hooks/tribunal-usage.py) observe, which is not an executable command. No current template hits this, so there is no present failure. Key the exception on the $PY prefix and the hooks/*.py shape instead of one filename.
