Summary

Fixes #6222.

In packaged macOS installations where the OpenCodex desktop app supervises the proxy:

  1. src/server/startup-health-cache.ts previously spawned the CLI probe via [cli, "__startup-health"], passing a virtual bundled source path instead of re-entering the binary via selfLaunchArgv. This caused probes to fail and left diagnostics in a persistent stale/at-risk state after menu updates.
  2. src/codex/autostart-health.ts only recognized service and shim protection, leaving verified desktop login supervision uncredited.

This PR adds:

  • src/service/desktop-startup.ts to verify macOS desktop ownership, active LaunchAgents registration, and live parent/child supervisor relationships.
  • Support for "desktop" startup protection in autostart-health and the GUI dashboard across all locales.
  • Correct compiled entrypoint invocation in runProbe using selfLaunchArgv.

Verification

  • bun test tests/service/autostart-health.test.ts — 41 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun test ./gui/tests/startup-minimal.test.tsx — 4 pass, 0 fail.
  • cd gui && bun run lint:i18n — clean pass across all 10 locales.
  • cd gui && bun run build — clean pass.
  • bun test tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts — 18 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run structure:check — clean pass.
  • bun run typecheck — clean pass.
  • bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts — clean pass.
  • bun run privacy:scan — clean pass.
  • git diff --check — clean pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Startup health now recognizes verified macOS desktop supervision as a distinct protection mode. The startup page displays its status, and the health probe uses a standalone-aware CLI launch command.

Changes

macOS desktop startup protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Startup-health probe launch
src/server/startup-health-cache.ts
The probe builds child-process arguments with selfLaunchArgv and sets the CLI as the source entrypoint.
Desktop diagnostics and health classification
src/service/desktop-startup.ts, src/codex/autostart-health.ts, tests/service/autostart-health.test.ts, structure/gui-and-management-api.md, structure/ops/service-and-sidecars.md
The diagnostic checks desktop ownership, login registration, and the live proxy process. Health derivation recognizes viable desktop protection for applicable macOS routing. Tests cover missing and stale evidence. The documentation describes the checks and probe launch behavior.
Startup page display and localization
gui/src/pages/startup-shared.ts, gui/src/pages/startup-sections.tsx, gui/tests/startup-minimal.test.tsx, gui/src/i18n/*
The page displays desktop protection status and details, and disables service installation when desktop protection is owned. The test and translations cover the new state and its description.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1e641

The change adds recognition of verified macOS desktop startup protection and passes the same checks as before. One Japanese hint uses wording that could be read as administrative privileges rather than ownership. This is a small text fix and does not block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1e641

A macOS desktop installation can now qualify as reboot-safe when its ownership, login registration, and running proxy agree. The checks reject missing evidence, but an unhealthy desktop-owned installation can still have its dashboard service and shim repair actions disabled. Recovery behavior and the integrity of the local evidence used to declare protection need review.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Desktop ownership disables dashboard service and shim install or repair even when desktop supervision is not viable and the local route is at risk. This prevents competing installations, but can leave the dashboard without those recovery actions until ownership is resolved elsewhere.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — An incorrect desktop-protection result would affect the health and recovery guidance for a local macOS installation using opencodex-owned routing. The inspected path is read-only and shows no new cross-user privilege, credential authority, or service installation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Local ownership records, installation ID, LaunchAgent configuration, launchd output, and PID/process information cross into the protection decision. Fixed system command paths, matching resolved paths, parent-child checks, and a repeated PID read constrain that decision; executable authenticity and filesystem write protections were not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — An expired or failed probe does not keep a prior desktop protection claim as the top-level local-routing status: stale health is marked at-risk with protection set to none. A fresh cached result can remain visible during its bounded cache lifetime.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish the permissions and installation provenance of the ownership records and desktop executables before relying on their paths as protection evidence; exercise the nonviable-but-owned recovery and ownership-handoff path.

Explanation

Issue [#6222] requires the packaged probe, desktop supervision, stale or missing evidence, and the desktop update-and-restart path to have regression coverage. The implementation covers the main desktop path: src/service/desktop-startup.ts adds diagnoseMacDesktopStartup and deriveDesktopStartup; src/codex/autostart-health.ts requires opencodex-local routing, macOS, and viable desktop facts before it returns protection: "desktop"; src/server/startup-health-cache.ts uses selfLaunchArgv. The added coverage in tests/service/autostart-health.test.ts exercises derived facts, stale diagnostics, non-macOS, and custom-local routing. The reviewed changes do not establish automated coverage for the packaged probe invocation, the real desktop process-supervision checks, or the normal desktop update-and-restart path.

Resolution

Add regression tests for the compiled or packaged startup-health probe through selfLaunchArgv, for diagnoseMacDesktopStartup with valid and invalid ownership, LaunchAgent, launchd, PID, parent, and proxy evidence, and for the desktop update-and-restart flow. Keep assertions for fail-closed behavior and for fresh post-update diagnostics.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use wording that identifies the ownership check.

管理権限の記録 suggests a record of administrative privileges. The desktop protection check verifies app ownership. Replace it with 所有権の記録 or 所有権メタデータ so the hint describes the check accurately.

리뷰 · 우선순위 62 / 80

이 PR은 macOS 데스크톱 앱으로 프록시를 돌리는 사람이 앱 메뉴에서 업데이트한 뒤, 시작 안전 화면이 계속 오래됨·위험으로 남는 문제를 고친다. 이슈 #6222용이다. 베이스는 dev다.

문제는 두 갈래다. 첫째, 패키지로 묶인 실행 파일 안에서 시작 상태 조사 프로세스를 띄울 때 소스 경로처럼 생긴 가짜 경로를 넘기던 것을, 이미 있는 selfLaunchArgv로 바꿔서 지금 돌아가는 바이너리로 다시 들어가게 한다. durableBunPath()가 standalone일 때 process.execPath를 주므로, 다른 재실행 코드와 같은 모양이다. 둘째, 예전에는 백그라운드 서비스나 런처 shim만 보호로 인정했는데, 데스크톱이 소유하고 로그인 시작이 켜져 있으며 앱이 묶인 ocx를 실제로 자식으로 돌리는지까지 맞으면 desktop 보호로 본다. 새 파일 src/service/desktop-startup.ts가 소유 기록, LaunchAgents plist, launchctl, ps로 그걸 읽기만 한다. GUI는 데스크톱 줄을 보여 주고, 데스크톱이 소유한 동안에는 서비스·shim 설치/수리 버튼을 잠근다. 로케일 문자열과 structure 문서도 같이 고쳤다. 순수 계산과 GUI 최소 테스트는 넣었고, 작성자 검증 목록도 길다.

gui/src/pages/startup-sections.tsx (actionsDisabled) - data.desktop?.owned === true이면 보호가 실패해도(viable === false) 설치·수리 버튼이 전부 잠긴다. 같은 상태에서 deriveStartupHealth는 보통 at-risk로 두고 서비스 설치/수리를 추천한다. 화면은 추천을 막고, 백엔드는 그 추천을 준다.

src/service/desktop-startup.ts (processIdentity / diagnoseMacDesktopStartup) - 실제 macOS에서 plist·launchctl·부모/자식 경로를 읽는 길은 단위 테스트가 없다. 테스트는 deriveDesktopStartup 조합만 본다. ps에서 comm을 마지막 -o 칸으로 두는 방식은 src/codex/desktop-app/darwin.ts와 같아서 방향은 맞다. 그래도 패키지 앱에서 한 번이라도 살아 있는 진단이 통과하는지 확인하는 회귀가 없다.

PR 게이트 - 품질 게이트가 UI 스크린샷 없음으로 실패했고, 리뷰 준비 체크리스트도 아직 비어 있다. draft다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

데스크톱이 소유했지만 로그인 항목이 깨졌거나 부모/자식이 안 맞는 “소유만 된 위험” 상태에서, 사용자가 CLI 서비스를 대안 설치하도록 버튼을 열어 줄지, 아니면 데스크톱만 고치게 둘지 정해야 한다. 지금 코드는 후자인데 추천 문구는 전자에 가깝다.

너의 추천

머지 전에 actionsDisabled를 data.desktop?.viable === true(또는 보호가 desktop일 때)로 좁혀라. 소유만 되고 위험한 동안에는 서비스 설치를 열어 주거나, 아예 데스크톱 수리 안내만 보이게 추천 문구도 맞춰라. diagnoseMacDesktopStartup은 launchctl/ps 출력을 넣는 픽스처 테스트라도 추가하는 편이 좋다. UI 스크린샷과 체크리스트를 채운 뒤 리뷰 대기로 올리면 된다. 방향 자체(프로브 self-launch + desktop 보호)는 #6222에 맞게 보인다.

Fixes #6222 by launching packaged startup probes through the standalone-aware entrypoint and recognizing verified macOS desktop login supervision. Failed and stale evidence revoke protection while retaining desktop ownership and desktop-specific recovery guidance.

Carries codingbooo’s #6256 and adds packaged subprocess/replacement and fail-closed ownership regressions.

Thank you @codingbooo for the patch and validation. Both of your commits were carried onto current dev in #6286, now merged as e5705866b6bcc1de367cb5f338560ce7af4b7533, with your Co-authored-by credit preserved in the squash commit.

The carry also adds a real packaged-probe/replacement regression and fail-closed ownership tests. A desktop claim now keeps service and shim actions disabled when supervision fails, with matching recovery guidance. Closing this draft as superseded by the merged carry. Thank you for helping fix #6222.
