fix(codex): verify service manager identity before census delegation (carry #6379) - #6397

…d homes Three review findings: a service claim that omits its home keys now only authorizes a process still resolving its default homes, so a project .env cannot borrow a default installs registration for a project-chosen census directory; launchd environment values are XML-decoded so an escaped home still compares equal to itself; and the manager-definition provenance probe is gated on a recorded newer candidate so an empty census no longer pays a full Task Scheduler listing.

… delegation The census delegation gate now accepts a WinSW claim only when trusted System32 sc.exe qc reports the claim's own executable as the registered BINARY_PATH_NAME. Query failure, a missing value, or a mismatch refuses delegation. Other backends and other inspection callers are unchanged.

On non-English Windows installations, sc.exe qc localizes labels such as BINARY_PATH_NAME, so this English-only match returns null even when the registered WinSW binary is correct. queryWinswBinaryPathName() then fails the ownership gate, causing every native WinSW service with a newer recorded runtime to keep serving the stale runtime—the silent-downgrade behavior this change is intended to prevent. Read PathName through a locale-neutral structured interface such as the existing CIM/JSON service query, or another API that does not depend on display labels.

💡 Result:
Official systemd references:
- **Drop-ins:** `systemd.unit(5)` documents unit drop-in files and their precedence. For a service, add an override with `sudo systemctl edit example.service`; systemd creates a drop-in under `/etc/systemd/system/`. ([cgit.freedesktop.org](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/man/systemctl.xml?id=99504dd4c13af7516a976fffc0f68e6f26d3faac&utm_source=openai))
- **Environment settings:** `systemd.exec(5)` documents `Environment=` and `EnvironmentFile=`. Put the setting under `[Service]` in the drop-in, e.g. `Environment="NAME=value"`. ([cgit.freedesktop.org](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/man/systemctl.xml?id=99504dd4c13af7516a976fffc0f68e6f26d3faac&utm_source=openai))
- **Inspect the loaded unit:** `systemctl show example.service -p FragmentPath -p DropInPaths -p Environment` reports the unit’s main fragment path, drop-in paths, and Environment property. The official systemd D-Bus docs describe `FragmentPath`; the `systemctl` manual is the reference for `show`.

Bind the online systemd claim to FragmentPath.
inspectSystemd() queries FragmentPath but reads a unit path derived from deps.home. If a loaded drop-in changes OPENCODEX_HOME to another installation, currentOpenCodexHome() selects that installation's directory. The probe can then read its matching base unit while registration still belongs to the loaded service's original FragmentPath. The ownership gate can accept the foreign claim and delegate to that installation's newer runtime.
Use the loaded fragment path for the online claim. A home override then compares the loaded unit's homes with the live process homes and fails closed when they differ.
Suggested fix
- const definitionPath = join(deps.home, ".config", "systemd", "user", `${TASK}.service`);
+ const configuredDefinitionPath = join(deps.home, ".config", "systemd", "user", `${TASK}.service`);
...
const fragmentPath = systemdProperty(shown.stdout, "FragmentPath");
const needReload = systemdProperty(shown.stdout, "NeedDaemonReload");
+ const definitionPath = fragmentPath || configuredDefinitionPath;🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
Carries #6379 by @luvs01 onto a maintainer branch and adds one maintainer hardening commit. The original commits are kept as they are, with their authors.
What #6379 fixes. A managed service could pick a recorded runtime from the serving-runtime census without proving that the live service-manager definition belongs to the same OpenCodex and Codex homes. Census delegation is now bound to that definition, and it is refused on missing, ambiguous, or mismatched identity evidence before any candidate is probed or launched. The systemd writer's quoted home assignments are decoded (escaped percent signs, backslashes, line continuations) in
src/service/systemd-env.ts. A cheap spawn-free check skips the manager probe when the census has no newer candidate.Maintainer hardening:
c7c4b98f2e"fix(service): bind WinSW registration to its definition before census delegation". WinSW registration is a machine-wide SCM fact, while the WinSW definition is read from the current config directory. The delegation gate now accepts a WinSW claim only when trusted System32sc.exe qcreports that claim's own executable as the registeredBINARY_PATH_NAME. A failed query, a missing value, or a mismatch refuses delegation, so the child serves from its own runtime as before. Other backends,ocx status, and the other inspection callers are unchanged. TheBINARY_PATH_NAMEparser and comparer are pure exported helpers with unit tests (quoted with arguments, unquoted, case, slashes, mismatch, missing line), and gate tests cover a matching binary, a different binary, a failed query, and a non-WinSW claim that never queries.Carried from #6379. Original author: @luvs01.
