Summary

PR 2 of the "Cortex behaves the same under Codex as under Claude Code"
wave. PR 1 (#605) added mcp_server/hooks/entry.py, a console entry point
that runs one of the eleven lifecycle hook modules from the wheel, but
dispatched whatever stdin carried unchanged. This PR normalises a Codex
hook event into the Claude-shaped event the modules already read, then
runs the module once per derived event.

  • mcp_server/hooks/host_patch.py: a fail-closed apply_patch parser,
    ported from the same owner's zetetic-team-subagents
    hooks/lib/host_events.py (commit 4c2bc9b, PR #139, MIT licensed).
    Produces an Edit/Write-shaped event per file operation; refuses
    ambiguous or missing preimage context rather than approving content
    different from the prospective edit.
  • mcp_server/hooks/host_event.py: normalize_event(event) dispatches
    Claude events through unchanged, expands apply_patch via
    host_patch, turns exec_command/shell_command into Bash with
    workdir resolved against cwd, and maps SubagentStart's
    agent_type to agent_name.
  • mcp_server/hooks/entry.py: reads stdin once, normalises it, sets
    CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT from the event's cwd only when unset, and runs
    the hook module once per derived event. For a PreToolUse event the
    first non-zero exit wins and stops the loop.

Test plan

  • tests_py/hooks/test_host_patch.py (ported zetetic fixtures: Add
    File, Update with Move to, Delete File, End of File, non-exact and
    ambiguous preimage refusal)
  • tests_py/hooks/test_host_event.py (Claude pass-through pins,
    shell workdir resolution, SubagentStart mapping,
    PreCompact/PostCompact pass-through, apply_patch dispatch)
  • tests_py/hooks/test_entry.py additions: apply_patch end to end
    through preemptive_context/pipeline_impact_bump matching the
    equivalent Claude Edit event's stdout; decision_gate blocking an
    apply_patch Add File the same way it blocks the equivalent Claude
    Write; malformed patch exits 2 on PreToolUse, 1 with a stderr line
    on PostToolUse

…py under the craftsmanship cap (#608)

CI's craftsmanship gate on e527fce flagged two new violations neither of
which existed at review time locally, because both were introduced by
edits made after my last local run of check_craftsmanship.py: the ruff
PLR2004 fix that named _MIN_ENVELOPE_LINES had no # source: comment, and
ruff format's reflow of test_entry.py (plus the apply_patch end-to-end
tests appended after that point) pushed the file to 302 lines, over the
300-line cap. Gives _MIN_ENVELOPE_LINES its source (zetetic-team-subagents
hooks/lib/host_events.py, commit 4c2bc9b, PR #139, the same three-line
envelope floor). Splits test_entry.py along its seam: PR 1's launcher
parity and environment-resolution tests stay in test_entry.py (159
lines); the new apply_patch end-to-end tests move to
tests_py/hooks/test_entry_apply_patch.py (165 lines), importing
REPO_ROOT/_isolated_env from test_entry.py rather than duplicating them.

ZETETIC-REVIEW: REQUEST_CHANGES

Reviewed 0f7ea00 (rebased on origin/main 4bd7e7f, merge-base equals main) in a read-only worktree at .claude/worktrees/review-608 with the repo interpreter. Stakes: high. This is the path every Codex hook event takes, and it produces the derived events the edit gates block on.

The parser is the strong part of this change set. The parity and fail-closed properties I could think of all hold under measurement. What is not carried by any test is the dispatch loop in entry.main(), and that is what I am blocking on.

Required changes

The PreToolUse stop-on-first-block and the multi-event loop are uncovered

entry.main() gained two behaviours whose postconditions are stated in its own docstring: for a PreToolUse event the first non-zero exit among the derived events wins and stops further dispatch (an apply_patch with several file operations must not apply the second once the first is blocked), and running the module once per derived event. Neither has a test. I deleted the break and ran everything:

$ python3 -  # remove the two lines `if hook_event_name == PRE_TOOL_USE and code != 0:` / `break`
$ .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q -p no:randomly
8852 passed, 8 skipped, 2 warnings, 459 subtests passed in 423.50s (0:07:03)

Identical to the clean run on this tip. The mutant lives through the whole suite. A safety claim that no test would notice being deleted is not a safety claim yet. Please add a test that dispatches a two-operation apply_patch on PreToolUse where the first operation is blocked, and asserts the second module run never happened (patching host_dispatch.run_event and counting calls is enough; the subprocess route cannot see the count).

CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT precedence is uncovered in both arms

entry.py:114 reads if cwd and "CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT" not in os.environ:, and the docstring explains why the existing value must win (the Claude launcher's cwd is the plugin root). grep -rn CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT tests_py/ returns hits only in test_session_start.py and test_pipeline_lazy_imports.py, none reaching entry. The same full run above also carried that condition weakened to if cwd:, which inverts the precedence, and the suite stayed at 8852 passed. Inverted, session_start.py:919, pipeline_impact_bump.py:195 and post_commit_reindex.py:255 would all resolve the wrong project root under Claude Code, which is the host this must not regress. Two assertions cover it: preset value kept, unset value filled from the event cwd.

I verified both arms behave correctly today by driving entry.main() in process with run_event replaced:

(d) CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT seen by run: /var/folders/.../tmp_wr6i8mt (= event cwd: True )
preset kept: /preset/elsewhere

So the code is right. It is the suite that does not hold it.

One divergence from the port source, to confirm or restore

hooks/lib/host_events.py at 4c2bc9b resolves a shell event's directory as (base / (tin.get("workdir") or tin.get("cwd") or base)).resolve(). host_event._shell_event keeps workdir and drops the tool_input["cwd"] fallback. Measured on this tip:

exec_command {"cmd":"git commit -m x","workdir":"sub"} -> cwd /p/sub
exec_command {"cmd":"ls","cwd":"sub"}                  -> cwd /p

If Codex ever puts the directory under cwd inside tool_input, post_commit_reindex reindexes the parent instead of the repository that was committed in, silently. The module docstring claims the field set was verified against learn.chatgpt.com/docs/hooks and against that same upstream file, so either the fallback comes back with a test, or the docstring says in one sentence why workdir is the whole contract and the upstream fallback is dead weight. Right now the divergence is invisible to a reader of either file.

What I measured and what held

Port against its source. Function by function, _resolve/_path, _read_preimage/_read, _match_unique/_match, _read_hunk/_hunk, _apply_hunks/_updated, _operation and the envelope walk in patch_events/_patch_events are semantically identical, including the _MIN_ENVELOPE_LINES = 3 floor now sourced in the fix commit. The two intentional differences are the tool_input["cwd"] drop above and the decision not to rewrite file_path on Claude Edit/Write events, which is what makes the pass-through pins exact.

Fail-closed properties, run rather than read:

ambiguous       => REFUSED: Patch preimage is ambiguous; exact unique context required
missing         => REFUSED: Patch preimage is missing; exact unique context required
end-of-file     => OK  Edit old "a\nb\na\n" new "a\nb\nA\n"   (anchored on the final line, not the first match)
move            => OK  Edit mv.txt -> "" , Write moved.txt "bye\n"
same-file-twice => OK  Write new.txt "one\ntwo\n" , Edit new.txt "one\ntwo\n" -> "one\nTWO\n"  (prospective state, not disk)
relative-subdir => OK  file_path <cwd>/sub/deep.txt
delete-missing  => REFUSED: Cannot read patch preimage .../nosuch.txt
files on disk unchanged: ['amb.txt', 'eof.txt', 'mv.txt']

A path escaping cwd resolves outside the project with no containment check: *** Add File: ../../etc/x yields file_path at /private/var/folders/0c/etc/x. That matches the upstream parser and, more to the point, matches what a Claude Write to the same absolute path already produces, so it opens no hole in the gates. I checked the gate rather than assuming it:

apply_patch escaping cwd -> rc 2, [decision-gate] BLOCKED: .../outside.py:1 would add 9 consecutive comment lines
claude Write same target -> rc 2, [decision-gate] BLOCKED: .../outside2.py:1 would add 9 consecutive comment lines

Pass-through pins. Fifteen Claude event shapes covering all eleven wired modules (SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse Write and Edit, PostToolUse Bash/Read/Write, Stop, SessionEnd, PreCompact, PostCompact, SubagentStart, SubagentStop, Notification): normalize_event(e) == [e] JSON-equal in every case, with the input object unmutated. FAILURES: 0.

End to end through mcp_server.hooks.entry with isolated HOME/CORTEX_CLAUDE_DIR and the sqlite backend:

(a) preemptive_context   apply_patch rc=0 stdout '' | claude Write rc=0 stdout ''   EQUAL
(a) pipeline_impact_bump apply_patch rc=0 stdout '' | claude Write rc=0 stdout ''   EQUAL
(b) decision_gate  apply_patch rc=2 | equivalent Write rc=2, both "[decision-gate] BLOCKED: ... 12 consecutive comment lines"
(c) malformed PreToolUse  rc=2, stderr "[hypermnesia-mcp-hook] mcp_server.hooks.decision_gate: Invalid Begin Patch / End Patch envelope"
(c) malformed PostToolUse rc=1, stderr "[hypermnesia-mcp-hook] mcp_server.hooks.post_tool_capture: Invalid Begin Patch / End Patch envelope"
(d) exec_command workdir "sub" -> derived cwd <cwd>/sub  (match: True)
(e) two-operation patch through post_tool_capture -> module ran twice (two "[cortex-post-tool-capture] skip Write" lines vs one for a single-operation patch), rc 0

A second check on the gate side: a two-operation patch whose first file is clean and whose second adds nine comment lines exits 2 and names the second file, so the loop really submits each derived event to the gate rather than only the first.

Edge cases from the diff. normalize_event returning an empty list would make entry.main() exit 0 with nothing dispatched; I could not reach that state, since patch_events either raises or yields at least one event for any envelope that passes the three-line floor, so it stays a latent shape rather than a bug. run_event replaces sys.stdin per run and never restores it, which is harmless because each run installs its own io.StringIO and the process exits after the loop. int(exc.code) would raise on a string exit code; all eleven modules exit with integers (decision_gate.main and no_deps_gate.main are typed -> int), so it holds today.

For a PostToolUse event with several derived events the last run's code wins, not the worst: with a first run at 3 and a second at 0, main() exits 0. That is what the docstring says it does, and PostToolUse exit codes are advisory, so I am not blocking on it, but max would cost one line and would stop a first-operation failure disappearing behind a clean second one.

Gates on 0f7ea00, run locally:

$ .venv/bin/python scripts/check_craftsmanship.py --base origin/main
Craftsmanship gate: OK
$ uvx [email protected] check           -> All checks passed!

$ .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests_py/hooks tests_py/scripts -q -p no:randomly
1543 passed, 372 subtests passed in 106.16s

tests_py/scripts (1006 passed on the previous head, folded into the 1543 above) still passes with the new modules present; none of host_patch, host_event, host_event_errors or host_dispatch carries a __main__ block, so the composition-root wiring test has nothing new to wire. The craftsmanship numbers after the split: test_entry.py 159 lines, test_entry_apply_patch.py 165, host_patch.py 222, all under the 300 cap, and the MIT header in the host_patch docstring is read as a docstring by the decision gate rather than as a comment block.

Full suite on the previous head e527fce: 8839 passed, 8 skipped, 459 subtests in 658.57s. On this tip the two mutation runs above both reported 8852 passed, 8 skipped, matching the executor's clean number for the tip.

CI on 0f7ea00: 24 pass, 4 skipping, 0 fail (Craftsmanship Gate pass 16s, Type Check pass 1m33s, Test 3.10/3.11/3.12/3.13, SQLite and Windows SQLite all pass).

The two test additions are about thirty lines against host_dispatch.run_event and os.environ, and they do not touch the parser, which needs nothing.

…fallback (#608)

Zetetic review on 0f7ea00 proved test-adequacy gaps by mutation: deleting
entry.py's stop-on-first-block line, and inverting the CLAUDE_PROJECT_ROOT
precedence check, both left the full suite at 8852 passed. Neither
behaviour had a test that exercised more than one derived event.

mcp_server/hooks/host_dispatch.py gains two things extracted out of
entry.main() (which went over the 40-line craftsmanship cap once the fix
was inlined): apply_project_root(environ, cwd), unit-tested for both the
unset-fills and preset-wins arms, and run_all(module, payloads,
hook_event_name), which now takes the worst (max) exit code across a
PostToolUse batch instead of the last one, so an earlier failing operation
in a multi-event apply_patch is never masked by a later one that
succeeds -- the reviewer's advisory item. New tests drive a two-operation
apply_patch through decision_gate and count "[decision-gate] BLOCKED"
occurrences in stderr to verify how many times the module actually ran:
once for PreToolUse (stop-on-first-block), twice for PostToolUse, and
that a blocked-then-benign PostToolUse pair still exits 2.

host_event.py's shell-command translation gets back the tin.get("cwd")
fallback zetetic's host_events.py has when "workdir" is absent -- dropped
without evidence Codex never sends that key, restored per the reviewer's
non-blocking note.

Both original mutations were re-applied and re-reverted against the final
code to confirm the new tests still catch them; see the PR conversation
for the raw failing/passing output.

ZETETIC-REVIEW: APPROVE

Round 2 on 7e24acf (rebased onto origin/main 19b78df, merge-base equals main). git range-diff 4bd7e7f0..2e099f21 19b78dfc..7e24acfb reports all three commits as =, so the rebase carried no content change and the measurements I ran on 2e099f2 apply unchanged. Fresh worktree, repo interpreter, read-only.

The two blocking items are closed, measured by re-applying the mutations

I re-applied each mutation and ran tests_py/hooks to see which named test notices.

Removing the break from host_dispatch.run_all:

FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_entry_apply_patch.py::test_pretooluse_stops_after_first_blocked_operation
FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_host_dispatch.py::test_run_all_pretooluse_stops_on_first_nonzero
2 failed, 544 passed, 13 subtests passed in 253.16s

Weakening if cwd and _PROJECT_ROOT_VAR not in environ: to if cwd::

FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_host_dispatch.py::test_apply_project_root_keeps_preset_value
1 failed, 545 passed, 13 subtests passed in 58.81s

I also mutated the two changes you made on the non-blocking items, since untested fixes to a review comment are the same defect in a new place. Replacing code = max(code, run_code) with code = run_code:

FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_entry_apply_patch.py::test_posttooluse_exit_code_is_the_worst_not_the_last
FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_host_dispatch.py::test_run_all_posttooluse_runs_all_and_takes_the_worst
2 failed, 544 passed, 13 subtests passed in 68.92s

Dropping the restored or tool_input.get("cwd") from _shell_event:

FAILED tests_py/hooks/test_host_event.py::test_shell_tool_falls_back_to_tool_input_cwd_when_no_workdir
1 failed, 545 passed, 13 subtests passed in 86.39s

Four mutants, four killed, each by a test whose name says what it protects. apply_project_root covers all three arms (fills_unset_value_from_event_cwd, keeps_preset_value, no_op_on_falsy_cwd), and test_posttooluse_runs_every_derived_operation pins the multi-event dispatch itself.

The subprocess tests are the part I want to single out. _two_blocked_add_files_patch_event builds two Add File operations that each independently trip the gate, so counting [decision-gate] BLOCKED in stderr counts how many times the module actually ran. That is an observable consequence rather than a call-count on a patched function, and it is why the PreToolUse and PostToolUse arms can be told apart at all. I reproduced it outside the suite on this tip:

PreToolUse   rc 2  BLOCKED count 1
PostToolUse  rc 2  BLOCKED count 2
PostToolUse blocked-then-benign  rc 2  BLOCKED count 1
malformed Pre rc 2 | malformed Post rc 1

The third line is the max change doing its job: the block is on the first operation, the second run exits 0, and the process still exits 2.

The shell fallback matches the upstream order

exec_command {"cmd":"ls","workdir":"sub"}              -> cwd /p/sub
exec_command {"cmd":"ls","cwd":"sub"}                  -> cwd /p/sub
exec_command {"cmd":"ls","workdir":"w","cwd":"c"}      -> cwd /p/w

workdir wins over cwd, which is the tin.get("workdir") or tin.get("cwd") order in zetetic-team-subagents hooks/lib/host_events.py at 4c2bc9b. The divergence I raised is gone, and the docstring now names the fallback instead of leaving a reader to diff the two files.

Regressions I re-checked rather than assumed

The extraction moved real code out of entry.main(), so the round-1 properties were re-run on this tip rather than carried over.

ambiguous       => REFUSED: Patch preimage is ambiguous; exact unique context required
missing         => REFUSED: Patch preimage is missing; exact unique context required
end-of-file     => OK  Edit "a\nb\na\n" -> "a\nb\nA\n"
move            => OK  Edit mv.txt -> "" , Write moved.txt "bye\n"
same-file-twice => OK  Write new.txt "one\ntwo\n" , Edit -> "one\nTWO\n"   (prospective state)
delete-missing  => REFUSED: Cannot read patch preimage .../nosuch.txt
files on disk unchanged: ['amb.txt', 'eof.txt', 'mv.txt']
passthrough pins: 15   FAILURES: 0

entry.main() is now four statements after the wiring, and run_all is twelve lines with both arms visible at once, which is a better shape than the loop it replaced: the PreToolUse rule and the PostToolUse rule no longer share a mutable accumulator whose meaning changes with the event name.

Gates on 7e24acf, run locally:

8861 matches your number exactly, and it is 9 above the 8852 of the previous head, which is the nine tests added here. Sizes stay under the caps: host_dispatch.py 108, entry.py 121, host_event.py 88, host_patch.py 222, test_host_dispatch.py 66, test_entry_apply_patch.py 236.

CI on 7e24acf: 24 pass, 4 skipping, 0 fail.

One thing left standing from round 1, still not worth a change: run_all returns 0 if payloads is ever empty, and its docstring now states the non-empty precondition, which is the right place for it given patch_events either raises or yields at least one event for any envelope past the three-line floor.

The review of this cut found version 2.42.0 beside ref v2.41.0 and the
2.41.0 sha; installs would have checked out 77b4f785 under a 2.42.0 label.
ref and sha now name the v2.42.0 tag commit 96454db1, as the earlier
deliveries (#553, #554) moved all three fields together.

…odex (#620)

* feat(codex): full profile and the same eleven lifecycle hooks under Codex

Cortex shipped two plugin packages with deliberately different exposure: the
Claude Code plugin with all hooks and the full tool profile, and a reduced,
MCP-only Codex package pinned to `--profile lean`. This reverses that. Codex
gets the same product.

- `.mcp.json` drops `--profile lean`, so the default full profile is served,
  exactly like the Claude manifest's server args, which carry no `--profile`
  flag at all.
- New `hooks/hooks.json`, referenced from `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` by path
  the way `mcpServers` already is, wires all eleven `HOOK_MODULES` names.
  Each runs `uvx --from "hypermnesia-mcp[postgresql,sqlite]"
  hypermnesia-mcp-hook <module>`, the console script from #605, so the
  package still ships only its own directory, never this repository and never
  `scripts/launcher.py`, which is Claude-only.
- Event names are Codex's own (learn.chatgpt.com/docs/hooks, read
  2026-09-22). Codex has no `Notification` event, so `compaction_checkpoint`
  is wired on `PreCompact`, which is where a checkpoint taken before
  compaction belongs. `SessionEnd` takes Codex's documented 3-second maximum
  rather than the Claude manifest's 30; `session_lifecycle` survives that
  ceiling because it spawns its consolidation detached (#610). No other hook
  sets `timeout`: Codex's own 600s default applies, and this repository has
  no measurement of the `uvx` hook path that would justify a tighter number.
- Matchers carry Codex's native tool names alongside Claude's, so the
  translations in `host_event.py` (#608) receive the events they translate:
  `apply_patch` on every Edit/Write-triggered hook, `exec_command` and
  `shell_command` on the Bash-triggered one.
- Each command guards only what can actually fail at that command line:
  `uvx` on PATH. There is no `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` to check (nothing resolves
  against the plugin root) and no interpreter to locate.

The contract test now imports `HOOK_MODULES` instead of restating the eleven
names, so a module added to or dropped from the allowlist cannot silently
leave the Codex package behind the Claude one. CI's clean-cache host-contract
run moves from `--profiles lean` to `--profiles full`, and the stale
"exactly ten lean tools / 103.84s" claim is replaced by a re-measurement of
the shipped full-profile command: 59 tools in 120.17s from a clean uv cache,
4.24s warm, macOS 26.6.2 arm64, uv 0.11.3, 2026-09-22.

* test(codex): split the hook-manifest contracts into their own file

The craftsmanship gate failed in CI: test_codex_plugin_contract.py had grown
to 323 lines, over the 300-line cap.

I missed it locally because the gate scopes itself to
`git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR <base>...HEAD`, which only sees
committed work. I ran it while the change was still in the working tree, so
the target-file list was empty and the gate had nothing to scan. Running it
after committing reproduces the CI failure exactly. This is not a difference
between the local and CI comparison points; both resolve the same base ref.

The five hook-manifest contracts move to a sibling
test_codex_plugin_hooks_contract.py, which asserts hooks/hooks.json, while the
original keeps the package identity, the marketplace entries and the MCP
server command. No assertion was trimmed to fit the cap. The event-name test
splits into one for the event vocabulary and one for the matchers, and gains
an assertion that PostCompact stays unwired, so the count goes from 13 to 14.
Shared traversal moves into `_every_hook` and `_dispatched` helpers rather
than being repeated in each test.

214 and 153 lines, both under the cap.

* fix(ci): never bind a released artifact's surface to this checkout's bounds

The mcp-host-config job failed with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
'mcp'`. Moving its codex-cli case to `--profiles full` in d39a92b made it
call `full_tool_bounds()`, which reads the registries and pulls the MCP SDK
that job deliberately never installs (ADR-1077).

Installing the SDK there would be the wrong fix, because the call was wrong
for a second reason that has nothing to do with dependencies. The bounds come
from THIS checkout's registries, while that job's command is
`uvx --from "hypermnesia-mcp[postgresql,sqlite]" ...`, which resolves the
published release. A PR that adds a tool moves this checkout's bounds while
the published wheel still advertises the old count, so the job would have
failed on a correct change. That is the same defect ADR-1077 was written
about, pointed the other way: a second source of truth waiting to disagree
with the first.

`--published-surface` marks a case whose command resolves a released
artifact. It keeps every other full-profile check (the 'full' profile marker
in the initialize instructions, a non-empty tools/list, memory_stats present
and callable, the empty-resources and session_recall shims) and drops only
the count bound, the one assertion that cannot be true of a foreign artifact.
Keeping the call unreachable is also what preserves ADR-1077's SDK-less
invariant for that job, so no dependency is added anywhere.

Tool-count coverage for codex-cli at the full profile is unaffected. It lives
in the two `python scripts/verify_mcp_hosts.py -- hypermnesia-mcp` calls in
the test and release-deps jobs (ci.yml:271 and :553), which pass no --clients
or --profiles and so exercise all three clients across both profiles against
this checkout's installed entry point, in jobs that do install the SDK.

ADR-1077's guard was too weak: it checked only that the script stays
IMPORTABLE without the SDK, which never protected the call. The new
`test_the_sdk_less_job_never_binds_a_release_to_this_checkouts_bounds` reads
the job out of ci.yml and fails if a full-profile case there omits the flag.
Verified to fail when the flag is removed.

ADR-1077 carries a dated revision recording all of this, so the "verifies
lean profiles only" claim is no longer left contradicting the code; the
generated mirror is regenerated from the canonical wiki page.

Reproduced both directions locally against a stub stdio server with `mcp`
blocked by the same meta_path blocker tests_py/test_tool_surface.py uses:
without the flag, `ImportError: mcp`, exit 1; with it, `PASS codex-cli/full:
initialize + discovery + memory_stats (59 tools)`, exit 0.

* docs(codex): the shipped prose describes the plugin that ships

An independent review found three docs still describing the reduced Codex
design this PR removed. All three verified at the PR head before fixing.

plugins/hypermnesia-mcp-codex/SECURITY.md was the serious one: it told a
reviewer the package runs "the read-only or idempotent-write `lean` tool
profile" and "installs no hooks", both false. It now discloses what the
package can actually do: the full profile advertises and accepts `forget` and
the wiki_purge/wiki_migrate class, and eleven hooks run, of which
decision_gate reads patched files' contents and can block a tool call,
post_tool_capture persists tool output by default, session_lifecycle spawns a
detached subprocess, and post_commit_reindex may reindex the repository. It
also says how to opt back down: --profile lean, or drop the hooks reference.

README.md said "a 10-tool lean surface" 37 lines after the table in the same
file already said "all 57 tools" for the same plugin.

docs/shared-host-memory.md said the bundled plugin keeps a ten-tool lean
profile and cannot author an ADR. It now separates the bundled plugin (full,
can author) from a --profile lean process (cannot), which is what the test it
cites actually exercises. The neighbouring claim that the hosts lack
equivalent lifecycle hooks was stale the same way and is corrected.

Two new guards, both mutation-checked by reintroducing each original sentence
and confirming a failure:

- test_codex_prose_does_not_contradict_the_shipped_manifests reads the
  manifests and fails if the prose claims no hooks while plugin.json declares
  them, or a ten-tool surface while .mcp.json passes no --profile. Conditioned
  on the manifests, so reverting the design relaxes the guard rather than
  stranding it. It bans the drifted wordings, not the words, so the docs can
  still explain --profile lean as an opt-in.
- test_codex_security_doc_discloses_what_the_package_can_do fails if the
  security doc stops naming the destructive tools or the two hooks with
  effects beyond writing to the memory store.

scripts/check_doc_claims.py could not have caught any of this, measured
rather than assumed. Every one of its five patterns matches a NUMBER beside a
keyword (TOOL_CLAIM wants "N memory|standalone|MCP tools"), and none matched
any of the three sentences, README.md included, which that gate already
scans. "installs no hooks" has no number at all; "10-tool" and "ten-tool"
never take the keyword form. Separately, four of the five relevant files are
not in SCANNED_FILES. Widening that tuple alone would have caught nothing and
bought false confidence, so the gate is left alone and the gap is reported.

* fix(codex): restore the checks the last two rounds removed or never set

Five findings from an independent review of the final state. All five
verified against the PR head first; all five fixes mutation-checked.

1. --published-surface took the only tool-surface check with it. Dropping the
   checkout-derived bounds was right; leaving nothing but a memory_stats
   presence test was not, since a packaging regression that dropped whole
   registries from the published wheel would still have passed. A released
   full profile is a superset of that release's own lean profile, so
   LEAN_TOOL_NAMES is a floor that holds across versions. It needs no MCP SDK,
   so the ADR-1077 invariant is untouched. Confirmed against the real
   published wheel: PASS codex-cli/full (59 tools, 12.14s).

2. The denylist lost in the file split is back. The package's own SECURITY.md
   promises no skills, apps or agents and no installer, which is testable:
   test_codex_plugin_ships_an_mcp_server_and_hooks_and_nothing_else asserts
   it, with `hooks` moved from the denied set to the required one.

3. Ten of eleven hooks had no timeout and took Codex's 600-second default,
   against Claude's 5 to 30 on the same hooks. A latency budget is part of
   behaviour, so this PR's parity claim did not hold. Codex documents a
   special default and maximum only for SessionEnd and Interrupt, so every
   other budget is settable and is now the Claude manifest's own number.
   auto_recall on UserPromptSubmit is the sharp case: 5 seconds, where 600
   would have let a stalled uvx resolve hold up every prompt for ten minutes.
   decision_gate and no_deps_gate still declare none, because the Claude
   manifest declares none for them either and both hosts default a command
   hook to 600 seconds; declaring nothing on both sides is the parity case.
   A cold cache will exceed these budgets, which costs one skipped
   enrichment: both hosts cancel a timed-out hook and discard its output, and
   Claude Code's reference is explicit that a timed-out PreToolUse hook
   "doesn't block the tool call". The test now derives every expected value
   from the Claude manifest instead of restating literals.

4. The ci.yml regression guard checked for --published-surface anywhere in
   the mcp-host-config job body, so a second --profiles full case added later
   would have been covered by the first one's flag. It now scopes to each
   invocation. Mutation-checked with exactly that shape: a second unflagged
   full-profile case, which the old check passed and the new one catches.

5. --published-surface was a blanket flag threaded into every case of a run.
   Rather than document the currently-safe scope, mcp_host_cli.check_selection
   refuses it outside a single client and single profile, following the
   --command-includes-profile precedent in the same file. It cannot widen
   silently now.

scripts/verify_mcp_hosts.py had one line of headroom under the 300-line cap,
so the CLI surface moves to scripts/mcp_host_cli.py: defining flags is a
separate concern from driving the contract, nothing outside imported those
four helpers, and full_tool_bounds() stays put so ADR-1077 and
tests_py/test_tool_surface.py need no churn. 235 and 108 lines.

Mutation results, each reverted after:

    CAUGHT  1  published full surface missing the lean names
    CAUGHT  2  plugin.json regrows an `agents` key
    CAUGHT  3  auto_recall loses its 5s budget
    CAUGHT  3b SessionEnd set to 30s (over the Codex maximum)
    CAUGHT  4  second --profiles full case, unflagged
    CAUGHT  5  --published-surface across two clients

* fix(codex): a guard that matched nothing, and a hook count in three docs

Round-4 review findings. Both confirmed ones reproduced before fixing.

1. The prose-drift guard's own regex was broken. `\b` after "tool" never
   matches the plural, because the `s` in "tools" is a word character, so
   LEAN_SURFACE_CLAIM matched only the singular forms:

       MISSED  'The lean profile is exactly these ten tools:'
       MISSED  '10 tools'
       MISSED  'ten tools'
       MATCH   'a 10-tool lean surface'
       MATCH   'its ten-tool `lean` profile'

   The missed line is the exact historical wording the guard was written to
   catch. `tools?\b` now covers both, and a new test asserts every wording on
   both patterns, plus three benign lines this package really ships so the
   guard cannot become a tripwire on its own documentation.

2. README claimed "9 lifecycle hooks" in the banner and "nine" in prose while
   this PR put "eleven" in the same file, and docs/ROADMAP.md said 9 too.
   HOOK_MODULES has had 11 entries since #605, so this predates the PR but
   the PR made it a self-contradiction. Fixed in all three places, written as
   digits so the doc-claim gate can see them, and the gate gains a
   `lifecycle hooks` family counted from the allowlist rather than declared.
   That is the general fix: it covers both files and any future one, instead
   of pinning the banner line alone.

3. `--published-surface` paired with `--profiles lean` validated, and would
   have compared a released artifact against this checkout's LEAN_TOOL_NAMES:
   the same checkout-versus-release coupling ADR-1077's revision removed for
   full. check_selection now refuses the pairing.

5. Disclosed the per-edit cost, which neither docs/codex-plugin.md nor the
   package's SECURITY.md mentioned. One edit fires up to five `uvx` hook
   processes (two before the call, three after); a patch touching several
   files still costs five, since host_dispatch runs the module once per
   derived event inside one process. Measured 2026-09-22 (macOS 26.6.2 arm64,
   uv 0.11.3, warm cache, published 4.23.1): 0.18s to 0.21s per process in
   steady state, first invocation of a module 1.3s to 5.1s while its caches
   fill, roughly 0.4s of the total in the blocking path.

6, 7, 8. Shared helpers: tests_py/scripts/_codex_plugin_support.py now holds
   the paths, the JSON reader and one `hook_index` scan, following the
   `_craftsmanship_support.py` precedent in the same package. That removes
   the three independent module-name scans (`_claude_timeouts`, `_dispatched`
   and an inline `_matcher_for`) and the duplicated `_json`. The duplicated
   `PLUGIN_ROOT / "scripts"` assertion is now made once, where it belongs.
   test_cross_host_manifests.py keeps its own `_json`: different signature,
   different module, and folding it in would widen this change for nothing.

The new pattern test pushed test_codex_plugin_contract.py to 318 lines, so
the prose guards move to test_codex_plugin_docs_contract.py. They assert the
docs; what stays asserts the manifests. 225 and 115 lines.

4 was already reported as a disclosed trade-off and is unchanged: the
published floor proves a superset of the lean names, not an upper bound. I
found no way to tighten it that does not reintroduce the coupling finding 3
just closed.

While verifying, the "57 tools" drift I had been carrying since round 1
turned out not to be drift: `standalone_tool_names()` is 57 and
UPSTREAM_TOOL_NAMES adds 3, so the live 59 I measured sits inside the 57..60
bounds. The docs are right and the item is withdrawn.

Mutation results, each reverted after:

    CAUGHT  1  SECURITY.md regains 'these ten tools:' (plural)
    CAUGHT  2  README banner back to '9 lifecycle hooks'
    CAUGHT  2b ROADMAP back to '9 lifecycle hooks'
    CAUGHT  3  --published-surface with --profiles lean

* fix(ci): read the hook allowlist as text, never import it

The Lint job died on `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp_server'` and
gated out the whole pipeline. My fault, from the previous commit.

I verified the diagnosis against the code rather than accepting it. The Lint
job's only setup is `pip install --no-deps --require-hashes -r
requirements/lint.txt`, and that file resolves to ruff alone: no editable
install, no PYTHONPATH. `python scripts/check_doc_claims.py` puts `scripts/`
on sys.path rather than the repository root, so `mcp_server` is not importable
there at all.

The ADR-1077 precedent I cited does not transfer, and that was the error.
`full_tool_bounds()` is reached only from one case in `mcp-host-config`, which
the previous commit made sure never calls it without the SDK.
`canonical_hook_count()` is called unconditionally from `collect_failures`, so
a late import buys nothing: the call always happens.

Every sibling in doc_claim_sources.py takes `read_fn` and parses text;
`canonical_hook_count` was the only one importing a module. It now reads
`mcp_server/hooks/entry.py` as source and evaluates the HOOK_MODULES
frozenset literal with `ast` (stdlib, no dependency). The source of truth is
still the allowlist, and there is still no second copy of the number.

Reproduced the job's constraint rather than trusting the dev environment: a
fresh venv with only requirements/lint.txt installed, run with no PYTHONPATH
from the repository root. That environment confirms `mcp_server` is
unimportable as the gate sees it, and all three Lint steps now pass in it:

    ruff format --check .            -> 3404 files already formatted, exit 0
    ruff check .                     -> All checks passed!, exit 0
    python scripts/check_doc_claims.py -> doc claims OK, exit 0

The repro is faithful, not merely green: putting the importing version back
into that same venv reproduces the CI failure exactly, `ModuleNotFoundError:
No module named 'mcp_server'`, exit 1.

New LintJobEnvironmentTests pins it. One test blocks `mcp_server` with the
same meta_path blocker tests_py/test_tool_surface.py uses for the SDK and
runs `collect_failures` with `scripts/` on sys.path; the other checks the
text parse still equals `len(HOOK_MODULES)`, so reading text did not trade
correctness for portability. Mutation-checked: restoring the importing
version fails the first test.

The unit fixture gains its own `mcp_server/hooks/entry.py` stand-in with a
four-name allowlist, the way it already carries CATALOGUE, PINNED_TEST and
BIBLIOGRAPHY for the other families. Four rather than the live eleven so that
adding a hook to Cortex does not edit this file.

* fix(codex): guard the claims that were only asserted in prose

Round-6 review findings, all verified before fixing.

A tautological assertion is replaced. `HOOKS_PATH.is_relative_to(PLUGIN_ROOT)`
could never fail: the support module defines HOOKS_PATH AS
`PLUGIN_ROOT / "hooks/hooks.json"`, so it tested a constant, not the ignore
file it sat beside. The test now walks every file the Codex package ships and
asserts each is covered by a directory entry in .mcpbignore, and separately
that no `!` line re-includes one. Mutation-checked with a re-include, which
the three neighbouring membership assertions all pass and only this catches.

The doc-claim gate now scans the Codex package's own README and SECURITY.md
and the two repository docs that describe it. Probed first: no claim pattern
matches anything in those four files today, so this adds coverage without
changing a verdict.

The hook-count family only ever saw digits, and most claims were spelled out.
Every claim family in this gate is digit-only by convention, so the seven
remaining "eleven" occurrences become "11" rather than teaching one family to
read number words. The gate went from seeing 2 hook-count claims to 10,
across 6 files.

`session_lifecycle` does NOT reliably survive Codex's 3-second SessionEnd
ceiling, and the document said it did while also saying a cold cache could
lose the run. Measured, warm uv cache, the manifest's own command against a
SessionEnd event: 3.46s, 1.03s, 0.97s. The first run exceeds the maximum.
Detaching consolidation (#610) makes the remaining work small enough to
attempt, not small enough to guarantee. Recorded as a named limitation with
the numbers rather than reconciled in prose: it costs the session record of
the first session after an install or upgrade, and prewarming does not help
because the measurement is already warm. It needs a decision, not an edit,
and the report to the owner says so.

decision_gate and no_deps_gate keep no timeout, and the reasoning is now
written down instead of implied. A timeout on a gate fails OPEN: Claude Code's
reference says a timed-out PreToolUse hook "doesn't block the tool call ... so
don't count on a stalled hook to act as a gate." A tight ceiling would trade a
rare long wait for silently ungated edits. Warm, these cost 0.16s to 0.26s;
the long wait is only the first cold resolve. The same exposure exists on
Claude Code today, so it belongs to both manifests, and narrowing it on one
host would break the parity a test now enforces.

preemptive_context's `Read` matcher has no Codex equivalent, and that is a
host limitation rather than a wiring gap. Codex's tool table has no read tool:
shell commands and unified exec both match as `Bash`. Reading a file there is
a shell command, and preemptive_context keys on `tool_input.file_path`, which
a shell event does not carry, so matching `Bash` would spawn a uvx process per
shell command for a guaranteed no-op. Documented as a one-sided gap; the
edit-triggered half still fires through apply_patch.

The duplicated uvx guard string across all 11 entries is left as acknowledged
debt with a note naming the test that keeps the copies honest. Generating both
manifests from one template is the real fix and is out of scope here.

Mutation results, each reverted after:

    CAUGHT  .mcpbignore re-includes the hooks directory
    CAUGHT  .mcpbignore loses the plugin directory entry
    CAUGHT  codex README gains '9 lifecycle hooks'
    CAUGHT  docs/codex-plugin.md gains '9 lifecycle hooks'
