…desktop startup auto-launch 0.5.0 writes the login entry under ~/.config/autostart. When XDG_CONFIG_HOME points elsewhere the session searches another autostart directory, so that entry proves registration but not login startup.

equal.

The fixtures build POSIX paths with execute bits and symlinks, and the diagnostic itself only runs on Linux, so the Windows shard cannot exercise it.

selectStatusStartupHealthreturns any non-null live result without evaluating the local fallback. An accepted legacy proxy can return startup health withoutdesktop. If the local Linux diagnostic reportsdesktop.owned, doctor still discards that claim and can recommendocx service repairinstead of the desktop-owned “Start at Login” guidance.Merge the local

export function selectStatusStartupHealth( liveStartup: StartupHealth | null, fallback: () => StartupHealth, ): StartupHealth { - return liveStartup ?? fallback(); + if (!liveStartup || liveStartup.desktop !== undefined) return liveStartup ?? fallback(); + const localStartup = fallback(); + return localStartup.desktop === undefined + ? liveStartup + : { ...liveStartup, desktop: localStartup.desktop }; }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
On Linux,
ocx doctor/ocx statusnever credited the desktop app as restart protection. Desktop startup detection was macOS-only, so a desktop-owned runtime with Start at Login on was reported asAT RISK … run 'ocx service repair', and that command is refused while the desktop app owns the runtime.This adds the Linux counterpart of the macOS check in
src/service/desktop-startup.ts:desktop, and the install id in$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/com.opencodex.desktop/install-id(default~/.config) must match it.$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/OpenCodex.desktopthattauri-plugin-autostartwrites. It must beType=Application, itsExecmust be an absolute…/opencodex-desktop --autostart, and it must not beHidden=trueorX-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false. The app and its siblingocxmust be executable./proc/<pid>/exe, to that siblingocx, and its parent (from/proc/<pid>/stat) must resolve to the app. Ownership and PID are re-read before the result is credited, as on macOS.diagnoseDesktopStartup()dispatches by platform.deriveStartupHealth()now acceptsdesktopprotection on Linux as well as macOS. The cheap ownership-only snapshot used by the live health cache now also reports Linux desktop ownership. The result is that a Linux desktop-owned install, even one whose startup cannot be verified, gets the existing "reopen OpenCodex and check Start at Login" guidance and noocx service repairrecommendation, matching macOS.Closes #6667

I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).
