Tracking: release queue, security review, and open blockers #755

Where the queue stands after a full triage pass, and what has to happen before the next release. Every claim here was measured against dev rather than read off the PR list — merge status came from git merge-tree against the current head, not from GitHub's mergeable field, which reads UNKNOWN for most of these.

Current state

dev CI is green across all six jobs. It had been red on every job; the baseline breakage was six GUI build type errors and fourteen stale GUI tests, all fixed and pushed. main is now an ancestor of dev, so the next promotion is a real fast-forward rather than a merge.

Two release blockers landed: #702 (expired forward continuations now fail closed instead of silently dropping context) and #720 (a replacement proxy arriving at the readiness deadline is no longer misreported as a restart failure).

One thing to know when reading CI on your PR: windows-latest occasionally panics inside Bun 1.3.14 itself — a timer-heap assertion reached through spawnSync with a timeout, triggered by our Windows ACL hardening. It is intermittent and unrelated to any PR. The upstream fix is merged in Bun main but there is no stable release carrying it yet.

Merge queue

Order matters for the first two; the rest are independent.

Why #671 before #715. These look like rivals for the same subsystem and are not. #715 filters already-eligible accounts into priority tiers; #671's qualified selector never reaches that path, because the resolution in src/codex/auth-context.ts short-circuits on fixedAccountId !== undefined before pool selection is consulted. So priority can never contend with an exact binding. Landing #715 first would mean rebasing it twice. When #715 rebases, it needs one combined regression: priorities and a pin pointing at account B, a request bound to account A, asserting A is used and neither the active nor pinned account moves.

#616 was fixed by 1aba0e4b3 and left sitting under a CHANGES_REQUESTED filed 32 minutes earlier. That review is dismissed; the PR is ready for a maintainer to verify and merge.

#610 stops repeated codex --version probing, but does not reorder the catalog cache lookup ahead of runtime resolution — the cache key is derived from the resolved runtime, so it structurally cannot. Merge the PR, keep #606 open pending Windows timing re-measurement.

Security review queue

MAINTAINERS.md:33-34 requires explicit review for these. What each reviewer should actually be looking at:

• feat(codex): add exact account routing #671 — that an exact selector cannot leak into a non-exact path, and that fail-closed on paused/reauth accounts has no silent fallback.
• fix(tray): isolate Windows tray host from proxy sockets #752 — that UseShellExecute genuinely breaks socket inheritance on Windows, confirmed by a green Windows CI run, not by reading the .NET docs.
• fix(providers): harden discovery contract cleanup #743 — path-traversal bypasses: mixed encoding, overlong forms, and whether a legitimate name containing .. still works.
• fix(providers): route GitHub Copilot Responses-only models off chat completions #746 — bounded replay after 401/429, that the failed response body is drained before replay, and that Copilot credentials cannot reach another provider or the canonical forward path.
• fix(codex): persist refreshed pool account plans #750 — credential-generation binding under concurrent refresh, and that a deleted config is never silently recreated.
• Add post-sync readiness endpoint and bounded ocx ready wait #569 — a new unauthenticated endpoint; whether its identity fields become a fingerprinting surface.
• fix(update): harden npm cache recovery preflight logs #557 — dependency installation, executable resolution, and persisted installer output. Green CI does not substitute here.
• security: harden post-merge service and management boundaries #707 — see below.

#707 needs splitting before it can be reviewed responsibly. It is 7,252 lines containing six independent threat models: service token transactions, ownership-manifest locking, management route gating plus outbound proxy policy, npm PATH hardening, browser anti-framing, and a CI timeout matrix. A single approval on that diff implicitly covers work the approver may not have read. Each seam already has its own implementation and test files. The CI timeout change is not a security change at all and can land on its own today.

Changes requested

Formal reviews are on each PR; the detail is in the per-PR comments.

• fix(windows): follow active Codex home for tray listener #644 — drop the unrelated scheduler hunk, which regresses the decoded-XML comparison added for [Bug] Windows: healthy scheduler task permanently reported stale — <Arguments> compared escaped vs. canonicalized (distinct root cause from #432) #608. State the actual reproduction, and add a regression.
• fix(update): harden npm cache recovery preflight logs #557 — the log sanitizer terminates every path regex at whitespace, so C:\Users\Alice Smith\... survives unredacted into persisted state. The existing test only covers a space-free path.
• feat(quota): report A6API credit usage #693 — a null from the quota fetch is treated as transient by the outer cache, so a malformed refresh keeps showing stale credit figures. Distinguish terminal-invalid from transient.
• fix: normalize tool function schemas to always have root type: "object" #745 — no regression tests, and the normalization lands on two independent paths.
• fix(providers): keep Antigravity catalog static #744 — the connection test still reports Antigravity as unavailable while inference works, which is the part of Google Antigravity preset permanently reports discovery failure by probing unsupported GET /models #723 users actually see.
• Add Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) localization for GUI, README, and docs #581 — dev revived the API, Subagents and Usage workspaces this branch assumes retired; resolving in its favour would delete assertions protecting shipping features.
• feat(providers): add Hyperbolic preset #751 / feat(providers): add Baseten Model APIs preset #653 / feat(providers): add Volcengine Ark provider presets #611 / feat(providers): add DeepInfra preset #747 — the canonical-preset evidence gate in MAINTAINERS.md:33-42: terms of service and operating legal entity, a named maintenance owner, a citable verification date, and routing authorization for aggregators. #611 additionally lacks preserveCustomDestination, which lets a user's saved custom provider be canonicalized onto a different host.

On presets specifically: when the evidence is incomplete, the same clause prefers an inert src/providers/free-directory.ts row over a canonical registry entry. hyperbolic, deepinfra and novita already have rows there. The fallback is not "drop the work".

Closed

#687 (WorkBuddy) — closed on licensing, not code. Their AUP requires express prior written permission for external interoperability components. The implementation was careful; we are simply not authorized to ship or maintain it.

#533 stays open until #557 merges, at which point it closes as superseded with attribution intact. range-diff confirms #557 contains all fourteen of its commits plus two.

Issues

Zero of the 39 open issues were closeable. Each was re-checked against dev with a file and line showing where the defect still lives. Several are waiting on a PR in the queue above rather than on new work: #722 on #736, #721 on #734, #724 on #750, #733 on #752, #606 on #610 partially, #723 on #744 partially.

Worth naming as a near-miss: ee3eaa2c0 added UTF-16 scheduler XML decoding and is on dev, which looks like it closes #722. It decodes a different surface than the localized status table the issue reports, and src/service.ts still prints that table verbatim. Closing on that commit would have been wrong.

Blocking the release

• Codex App resume silently drops prior context after the 1-hour replay-state TTL expires #702, [Bug][Windows]: GUI npm update reports restart failure just before fallback becomes healthy #720 — done
• Codex Auth quota refresh reads fresh WHAM plan_type but keeps a stale pool account plan #724 — waiting on fix(codex): persist refreshed pool account plans #750
• [Bug][Kiro] Large MCP tool catalogs trigger CONTENT_FILTERED before generation #719, [Provider compatibility]: AgentRouter Anthropic streams can end without terminal SSE frames #658, [Bug][Windows]: tray host can retain inherited proxy socket handles and keep the old port bound after restart #733 — open, no PR yet except fix(tray): isolate Windows tray host from proxy sockets #752 for [Bug][Windows]: tray host can retain inherited proxy socket handles and keep the old port bound after restart #733
• [Bug] ocx claude lets Bun dotenv ANTHROPIC_API_KEY override Claude.ai subscription auth #701, DeepSeek V4 web-search continuation drops reasoning_raw_delta and returns 502 #688 — done earlier

I will keep this updated as the queue moves.
