Summary

  • Carry fix(startup): launch Desktop by its registered app bundle path #7121 (source commit fc7e1b0): ocx ensure opens the canonical macOS app bundle named by the installation's Start-at-Login registration, after matching the durable Desktop claim to the app-local install ID. Maintainer edits are disabled on the contributor branch, so this is an in-repository carry targeting dev.
  • Complete launch selection: require an absolute registration path, a regular executable file, and a bundle whose identifier and CFBundleExecutable agree with that canonical Desktop executable. Missing or inconsistent evidence retains manual-open guidance; launch/readiness failure never authorizes a competing CLI proxy. Document the reopening prerequisite in the public Desktop guide and architecture contract.
  • Preserve the original implementation and both contributors' credit. This validates local identity consistency; it does not make same-user writable records or concurrent filesystem replacement tamper-proof.

Verification

Current head: 6c14932bcb3574e2cb8b7750aa7fbdba74abff74 (Windows CI follow-up).

  • Root cause: the prior relative-path fixture used path.relative(cwd, executable) across the Windows checkout/temp drives, which returns an absolute target. The launch helper was therefore correctly accepting the supplied absolute path under host semantics. The macOS LaunchAgent contract now explicitly uses path.posix.isAbsolute; fixtures use the checkout drive and POSIX-rooted paths, and the rejection case proves its path is relative and resolves to the existing executable. Windows drive-absolute/drive-relative plist values and non-macOS no-command refusal are covered without adding skips.
  • OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun test tests/cli/cli-ensure-desktop-cold-start.test.ts: 36 pass / 0 fail / 186 assertions, macOS, Bun 1.4.3. The native plist conversion case runs locally with only open intercepted.
  • bun run typecheck: passed (exit 0).
  • OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun run test:changed --parallel=1: 36 pass / 0 fail / 186 assertions, exit 0; compared with origin/dev, merge base 7640a942b35044c974e534b84d5a8049f4a8ae9a.
  • OCX_TEST_NO_QUEUE=1 bun test tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts: 36 pass / 0 fail / 653 assertions.
  • bun run structure:check and git diff --check: passed. An initial structure check caught the existing 600-line limit; the contract addition was folded into the ownership paragraph and the final check passed.
  • A duplicate full local suite remains impractical while concurrent worktrees contend for the user test lock. Focused selection/parser regressions run locally; full Linux/macOS/Windows coverage is delegated to the exact-head hosted run. These are parser/selection tests, not live LaunchServices or final signed-bundle acceptance.
  • Earlier carry validation (before this follow-up): readiness/shim focused tests, privacy scan, and docs build (577 pages, 81,200 links) passed. These were not rerun for the path-semantics/test-fixture correction.
  • The stale manual run 38699887366 failed Windows 5/9 on the fixture and is confirmed cancelled (standard cancellation was accepted but did not finish; GitHub force-cancel returned HTTP 202 and the run then reached completed/cancelled). New workflow_dispatch, ci.yml, lane=all: 38725159377, at the current full head SHA. After ten minutes of bounded polling (last checked 2026-10-15 11:17:59 UTC), the run remains queued, with changes (job 116389062516) and select windows runner (job 116389062792) queued and no runner assigned. Windows 5/9 has not been created, so it is unverified, not passing. Parent-thread follow-up is needed; GOAT rejects PR watching from this implementation subagent because the parent owns the PR watch.
  • Keep draft. No merge performed. Prior independent review covered the earlier carry head; the current follow-up does not claim a fresh independent security review.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. Independent audit identified the two launch-selection gaps; both were fixed with red-to-green regressions. Independent code/security review returned PASS on the earlier carry head; this follow-up awaits exact-head hosted results, and merge approval remains separate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • On macOS, automatic relaunch now uses the app registered for Start at Login only after confirming its registration and app details are valid. If the registration is missing or inconsistent, the app is not relaunched, avoiding selection of a different copy with the same identifier.
  • Documentation
    • Updated desktop startup guidance to explain when automatic relaunch is available and when you may need to open the app manually.

Reject relative launch registrations and non-file executable targets. Match
CFBundleExecutable to the canonical registered Desktop binary before opening
the recorded bundle. Exercise the actual macOS plist conversion without
launching an app, and document manual recovery for inconsistent evidence.

📝 Walkthrough

On macOS, the Desktop launch path now requires verified Desktop ownership and a valid Start at Login registration. It validates the registered executable and app bundle before opening the registered app. Tests cover valid launches and rejected ownership, registration, executable, and bundle evidence.

Changes: Desktop relaunch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate registration and launch the registered app
src/cli/ensure-desktop-cold-start.ts, tests/cli/cli-ensure-desktop-cold-start.test.ts, structure/gui-and-management-api.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/desktop-app.md
The launch path checks Desktop ownership, install ID, LaunchAgent registration, executable permissions, and bundle metadata before opening the registered app with --autostart. Tests cover successful launches and invalid evidence. Documentation describes the registration-based target selection and refusal conditions.

The macOS relaunch now requires a valid Start at Login registration, but the Korean guide still says the app reopens whenever it has quit. Korean readers may expect a reopen that will not happen, so update that page before or shortly after merge.

@github-actions github-actions Bot added the bug Something isn't working label Oct 15, 2026
Keep the macOS registration contract independent of the test host. Place
fixtures on the caller's drive so Windows relative() cannot return an
absolute cross-drive target, and assert the rejected path is truly relative.
Exercise Windows drive paths and non-macOS command refusal explicitly.

P2 Badge Require RunAtLoad for automatic reopening

When ~/Library/LaunchAgents/OpenCodex.plist is stale or edited so RunAtLoad is false or absent, this condition still accepts it because it checks only the label, arguments, and optional Program. launchDesktopApp then opens the application whenever a matching ownership claim exists, even though this is not the valid Start-at-Login registration described by the updated guide and the existing macLoginRegistration validator rejects the same plist. Require RunAtLoad === true before returning the bundle and cover the false/absent cases.
