Summary

Remote Link ran every Child-side ocx call (discovery, link probe inspection, pinned sync) through the first runnable binary in a fixed list: Desktop copies, then PATH. That binary was often not the install serving the Child (#8359):

  • an old /Applications/OpenCodex.app answered link probe with 2.77.0 while npm 2.99.0 served;
  • an npm install under a custom prefix (~/.local/node) was found by nothing, so discovery failed;
  • enrollment could then run connect/restart/sync through a different version than the service runs.

After this change, macOS and Linux Children first run the install that last started serving the Child. They fall back to today's order when that install is unknown or broken.

  • Signal: every ocx start that binds already records its relaunch argv at the front of $OPENCODEX_HOME/serving-runtimes.json (src/config/serving-runtimes.ts, since v2.70.0). That is [ocx] for a compiled binary or [bun, cli/index.ts] for a package install. A desktop takeover or a service restart puts its own install first, and a start that never binds records nothing. service-state.json was rejected: it records how the service was installed, not what serves (it keeps npm paths after a desktop takeover).
  • Reader (REMOTE_SERVED_RUNTIME in src/link/ssh-argv.ts): reads only the first entry's command, accepting one or two absolute paths without quotes or backslashes, from a file of at most 64 KiB. A pair runs as bun <entry> … only while the entry file exists, so a bare bun is never run as ocx. A missing or malformed file, an extra path, or a failed --version falls through to today's order.
  • Scripts: ocx discovery and the pinned sync script share the candidate block, so the served install's own version gates sync --expect-link. An old serving install is refused with the existing child-ocx-lacks-expect-link and is not replaced by a newer binary that doesn't serve. Runtime inspection (POSIX_INSPECT_SCRIPT) reads the same census, so ocx link probe reports the served version and kind.
  • An ephemeral ocx-child keeps its precedence.

Windows is not covered yet, so this PR is part of #8359 and does not close it. The reported Windows layout serves npm as [bun.exe, index.ts], and probing that pair needs an argument-taking OcxJob.Ok/V overload in the C# helper compiled on the Child. PR CI does not compile it, and a broken helper would make every Windows Remote Link command exit 126. That change needs a Windows-verified follow-up.

Part of #8359

Verification

  • Failing-first, with the source reverted (isolated homes):
    • tests/clients/link-ssh-argv-discovery.test.ts: the served package pair and the served compiled binary run before a runnable Desktop copy (2 fail before, pass after). The served-version inspection case (macOS B layout: Desktop 2.77 vs served npm 2.99) also fails before and passes after.
    • Fall-through guards (served install gone, failing --version, missing CLI entry, relative/quoted/three-path/truncated census) pass both before and after.
    • tests/clients/link-pinned-sync-argv.test.ts: the served pair is pinned and its own version gates sync (2.99 syncs, 2.92 refuses with 121, Desktop never runs); 2 fail before, pass after.
    • Paths contain spaces; arguments with quotes, $(…) and newlines pass through intact.
  • Link suites (ssh-argv, discovery, pinned sync, ephemeral discovery, enrollment, ephemeral enrollment) plus ratchet, test-layout, structure-ssot, docs-link-targets and core-lab-boundary: 241 pass, 16 skip, 0 fail.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check: pass.
  • bun run test:changed (isolated homes): 35,598 pass, 128 skip, 4 fail. All 4 are environment-only on this host: two link-ocx-child-e2e cases need cargo; cli-codex-cli-update-boundary npm-global reproduces on dev; link-child-plant-foundations sees this host's /usr/bin/ocx and fails identically without this change.
  • Docs: structure/remote-link.md and docs-site/.../guides/remote-link.md.

NOT RUN: full bun run test; a live macOS or Linux Child over SSH; Windows (not changed).

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. The remote script now executes a path read from a file the Child's own proxy writes under its home; a separate security review is requested.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Remote links on macOS and Linux now prioritize the OpenCodex installation most recently used to serve a Child, including installations under custom npm prefixes.
    • If that installation is missing or cannot report its version, discovery falls back to Desktop and system installations before checking PATH candidates. Invalid or unavailable candidates are skipped.
    • Version checks and pinned sync now use the selected served installation, avoiding mismatches with a different installation.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Remote Link guides to describe runtime selection and fallback behavior.

…opies

Remote Link discovery, pinned sync and runtime inspection now try the install that last started serving the Child's home, read from the first entry of serving-runtimes.json, before the fixed Desktop and PATH candidates. A package pair runs as bun <entry> only while the entry exists; any other shape or a failed --version falls through. POSIX only; Windows needs an argument-taking OcxJob probe.

Maintainer judgment (#8359, head 9aa2004)

  • Value: Remote Link stops answering with a binary that does not serve the Child. On the reported macOS layouts, ocx link probe reports the serving version, discovery finds an npm install under a custom prefix, and pinned sync runs through the install the service runs. That removes the "install the desktop app on every Child" workaround.
  • No unintended UX change: Children whose serving install is already first in the Desktop/PATH order behave exactly as before. A Child with no census (pre-2.70, or never started) or an unreadable one keeps today's order. An ephemeral ocx-child keeps precedence. No new UI, settings or error codes.
  • Existing users: one deliberate change. If the serving install is older than 2.93 while a newer, non-serving copy exists, pinned sync now refuses with the existing "update the Child" message instead of syncing through the other binary. The reader fails open on every malformed shape, and a pair runs only while its entry file exists.
  • Not done here: Windows. Its npm pair needs a C# helper change that PR CI cannot compile, so [Bug] Remote Link discovery picks a different/stale ocx than the one serving the Child, and misses npm-prefix installs #8359 stays open for a Windows-verified follow-up.

Walkthrough

POSIX Remote Link discovery and runtime inspection now try the installation that most recently served the Child before existing candidates. Package-based installs are version-checked and used for pinned sync. Tests cover candidate selection, fallback, and version-gated sync.

Changes: POSIX served-runtime discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Served-runtime candidate and pinned sync
src/link/ssh-argv.ts, tests/clients/link-ssh-argv-discovery.test.ts, tests/clients/link-pinned-sync-argv.test.ts
The candidate script reads and validates the serving-runtime census, then tries the recorded binary or package entry before existing candidates. Version checks and pinned sync pass the entry when present. Tests cover selection, fallback, malformed census data, and version-gated sync.
Runtime inspection and documentation
src/link/remote-plant.ts, tests/clients/link-ssh-argv-discovery.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md, structure/remote-link.md
Runtime inspection tries the served runtime before other candidates and reports its version. Tests verify the selected version. The documentation describes precedence, fallback, and platform behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Resolve runtime validation and probe handling before merging. Malformed census data can select the wrong installation, a stalled runtime can prevent enrollment despite a working fallback, and installations writable by another user can execute that user's code as the SSH account.

the `command` array’s closing line alone mark a truncated census as valid.
Preserve the existing discovery, inspection, and pinned-sync fallback behavior

- Around line 185-189: Update the SSH entry-probing flow around served_entry and
attempt to verify that both recorded executable and package-entry paths,
including their resolving directories, are not writable by untrusted users
before executing a probe. Treat a failed trust check as a terminal rejection so
the target cannot be retried through fallback.
- Line 163: Update the runtime scan around the `open` condition so it stops at
the end of the first runtime; if that runtime has no `command`, use the existing
fallback instead of selecting a historical runtime. Add a regression test
covering a first runtime without a command followed by a historical runtime with
one.
- Line 225: Bound each candidate’s `--version` probe in `ssh-argv.ts` and the
corresponding probe in `remote-plant.ts` with a per-candidate timeout; on
timeout, clean up the probe process and continue to the next candidate so a
stalled recorded runtime does not block discovery or inspection.

Review comments at @tests/clients/link-ssh-argv-discovery.test.ts:
- Around line 169-180: Update the rejection cases in the `a census with %s is
ignored` test to use runnable fixture commands for the relative-path and
truncated-file inputs, using a temporary absolute path for the truncated case.
Assert that neither fixture command is invoked, including with `--version`, so
the test verifies rejection rather than fallback caused by missing commands.

Limit census lookup to the first runtime.

If the first runtime has no command, src/link/ssh-argv.ts:163 can select a historical runtime instead. That runtime can answer remote commands or make pinned sync reject an otherwise usable Desktop copy. Stop scanning at the end of the first runtime and fall back; add a regression test.

Validate the complete census before selecting a runtime.

If the census is truncated after the command array, src/link/ssh-argv.ts:164 accepts its executable without checking the rest of the JSON. Discovery and inspection can select it, and pinned sync can use its version instead of falling back. Validate the complete document and add a regression test for this truncation.

Reject replaceable census paths before probing.

If another user can modify a recorded executable or package entry, the version probe can run their code as the SSH account. Validate both paths and their resolving directories for untrusted write access before probing. Do not retry a rejected target through fallback.

If the recorded runtime hangs on --version, discovery and inspection never reach a working Desktop or PATH installation. Enrollment then fails after the SSH deadline. Add a per-candidate timeout and cleanup in both src/link/ssh-argv.ts:225 and src/link/remote-plant.ts:48, so a stalled probe falls through.

Review comment at @src/link/ssh-argv.ts at line 225:
Bound each candidate’s `--version` probe in `ssh-argv.ts` and the corresponding
probe in `remote-plant.ts` with a per-candidate timeout; on timeout, clean up
the probe process and continue to the next candidate so a stalled recorded
runtime does not block discovery or inspection.

Use runnable commands in the rejection tests.

In tests/clients/link-ssh-argv-discovery.test.ts:169-180, the relative and truncated cases can fall back because their commands are absent, even if the parser accepts them. Create runnable fixture commands, use a temporary absolute path for the truncated case, and assert that neither command is invoked, including for --version.

Update the rejection cases in the `a census with %s is ignored` test to use
runnable fixture commands for the relative-path and truncated-file inputs, using
a temporary absolute path for the truncated case. Assert that neither fixture
command is invoked, including with `--version`, so the test verifies rejection
rather than fallback caused by missing commands.

Review gate for head 9aa2004: fresh independent correctness review PASS-WITH-NITS and separate security review PASS-WITH-NITS (both DeepSeek hyds/deepseek-v4.1-flash-free native subagents). Neither found a P0/P1 or a correctness/security P2. Exact-head CI is green (gates, test changed, hygiene, enforce-target). Failing-first was re-confirmed by the reviewer: reverting src/link/ssh-argv.ts and src/link/remote-plant.ts fails 5 #8359 cases. Probes covered dash, bash-as-sh and busybox ash; mawk and busybox awk; hostile census contents (inert); 200 MB / 1 GB files and FIFO or device paths (no hang); and --key-stdin delivery.

P3 follow-ups, not blocking:

  1. A census read failure (unreadable file, missing awk) prints a stray stderr line on a command that otherwise succeeds.
  2. The reader takes the first "command": [ array in the file, which only differs from "the first entry" in hand-edited files.
  3. The docs should say that the served install wins regardless of version for discovery and inspection.

Windows remains for a follow-up, so #8359 stays open.
