Stacked on #138 (base branch feat/codex-runtime; retarget to main after #138 merges).

What

Stage 1 of richer Codex notifications, per the researched design:

  • Real Question notifications: PreToolUse hook with matcher ^request_user_input$ delivers the actual question text (allowlist projection: question/header only, options/ids/secret fields never leave the payload). Exempt from the question cooldown and content dedup because the session blocks until answered; duplicates are bounded by a turn+call-scoped dedup lock.
  • SubagentStop delivery for Codex behind the existing opt-in semantics (notifyOnSubagentStop plus suppressForSubagents: false), classified from the subagent's final message.
  • Error statuses from short failure messages (rate limit, quota, auth, session limit) via a bounded pattern heuristic - documented MVP: failure phrasings only, capped message length to avoid false positives on task summaries.
  • Clean architecture seam: classification sits behind the CodexTurnEnricher port (DIP) with a pure payload heuristic as the default adapter, so a future app-server-backed analyzer (thread/turn API) can be injected without touching the pipeline. Full rollout JSONL parsing was evaluated and rejected: the format is internal and unstable (breaking changes in openai/codex PR 3380, three format generations in the wild, no version field, no official contract per issue 20952).
  • hooks-codex.json gains the PreToolUse entry BEFORE the first-release trust-identity freeze (adding it later would require a separate trust step for every user); golden identity test extended with the matcher form.
  • SDK dependency bumped to the commit that adds codex/PreToolUse (feat(sdk): add Codex lifecycle hooks and host detection universal-agent-plugins#173).

Known limitation

request_user_input is mode-gated in Codex (Plan mode) and the live firing of the PreToolUse hook for it has not been proven in an interactive TUI session yet - the matcher is safe either way (worst case it never fires; a non-question tool is skipped by policy, covered by tests).

Testing

Full go test ./... green except the known pre-existing macOS-environment notifier failure (fails on clean main). New coverage: question projection incl. secret-field non-leak, non-question tool skip, cross-turn question repeats, subagent opt-in matrix (default/suppression/enabled), error heuristic table (incl. false-positive guards), PreToolUse through the real SDK, CLI containment for the new event.

Integration and release status

SDK 777genius/universal-agent-plugins#173 and planning #137 are merged. Integrate #138, then #139, then #140. Release qualification is tracked in #141.

The product retains the reviewed SDK pseudo-version; its SDK subtree is identical to merged SDK main. Draft sdk/v1.2.0 exists, but publishing its public module tag requires separate owner approval. The tag is not a prerequisite for merging this pinned product code.

The supported initial Codex path is the shared installer with CN_PRODUCT=codex followed by setup-codex from #140, then trust review in /hooks. Native plugin hook support is documented by current Codex; the earlier claim that Codex categorically ignores plugin hooks was incorrect. Native marketplace installation is not claimed as qualified by this PR chain.

#140 contains follow-up compatibility fixes and the end-to-end qualification evidence. Product v1.42.0 is not published. Question-tool firing in the interactive TUI and visible desktop/audio behavior remain outside the automated evidence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Codex notifications now include questions from interactive prompts, with cleaned question text and counts for additional questions.
    • Added optional Codex subagent-stop notifications, subject to existing opt-in and suppression settings.
    • Codex stop messages can now report API, authentication, overload, and session-limit errors.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Codex support documentation and changelog to describe question, subagent, and error notifications.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of distinct question and subagent events to prevent missed or incorrectly combined notifications.

… and error heuristics

- PreToolUse hook (matcher ^request_user_input$) delivers real Question
  notifications with the question text projected through an allowlist
  (question/header only; options, ids, and secret fields never leave the
  payload); turn+call-scoped dedup, exempt from the question cooldown
  and content dedup since the session blocks until answered
- SubagentStop delivery for Codex behind the existing opt-in semantics
  (notifyOnSubagentStop + suppressForSubagents), classified from the
  subagent's final message
- short failure messages map to api_error/api_error_overloaded/
  session_limit_reached via a bounded pattern heuristic (documented MVP:
  failure phrasings only, capped length to avoid false positives on
  summaries)
- classification sits behind the CodexTurnEnricher port with a pure
  heuristic default, so an app-server-backed analyzer can be injected
  later without touching the pipeline (DIP seam)
- hooks-codex.json gains the PreToolUse entry before the first-release
  identity freeze; golden test covers the matcher form
- sdk bumped to the CodexPreToolUse-capable commit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Codex now decodes filtered request_user_input events, delivers question notifications, supports opt-in SubagentStop notifications, detects short failure messages, and uses a CodexTurnEnricher seam for status and body generation.

Changes

Codex event ingestion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure status detection
internal/analyzer/lastmessage.go, internal/analyzer/lastmessage_test.go
Short final messages now map to API, overload, or session-limit statuses. Tests cover precedence, length limits, and Unicode rune handling.
Codex event ingestion
internal/codexsource/..., internal/hooks/codex_source.go, hooks/hooks-codex.json, go.mod, cmd/claude-notifications/*codex*test.go
PreToolUse decoding and dispatch now support request_user_input. Codex manifests declare filtered PreToolUse and SubagentStop hooks.
Enrichment and delivery
internal/hooks/enricher.go, internal/hooks/hooks.go, internal/hooks/event.go, internal/hooks/identity.go
Codex events use enrichment for status and message bodies. Question text is allowlisted and cleaned. Opt-in subagent notifications and distinct tool-call identities are supported.
Behavior validation and documentation
internal/hooks/codex_rich_test.go, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Tests cover questions, repeated prompts, subagent suppression, parallel subagents, and error statuses. Documentation describes the new behavior and limitations.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8e0ed

Codex question and subagent notifications are expanded, but concurrently completing subagents in one session can lose a notification. The manifest and documentation also need correction to accurately describe SubagentStop support and sensitive-field handling.

Without a hooks-codex.json entry the host never invokes the binary on
SubagentStop and notifyOnSubagentStop would be dead configuration. An
opted-out run costs one async process that exits at the config check.
Golden identity test extended to the four-handler contract.
- gate the Ghostty terminal capture to the Claude product: it persists
  session state under the RAW session id, and Codex state must only use
  hashed identities (the codex question path made this reachable)
- exempt codex SubagentStop from the session-wide content dedup so
  parallel subagents finishing with an identical final message cannot
  collapse into one notification (regression test added)
- error heuristic: every pattern is now a self-anchored failure phrase
  ('rate limit reached', not 'rate limit'), so short task summaries like
  'Fixed the rate limit bug.' stay task_complete; the length cap counts
  runes instead of bytes so non-ASCII scripts get the same budget
- go mod tidy drops the superseded sdk pseudo-pin

508-511: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use the session content lock for content-dedup-exempt Codex events.

Two Codex subagents in the same session can reach this branch concurrently. The first hook holds the session-scoped content lock. The second hook returns without delivery. This defeats the required parallel-subagent behavior even though lines 535-536 skip content comparison.

Compute skipContentDedup before acquiring the content lock. Skip that lock for Codex PreToolUse and SubagentStop events. Add a barrier-based test that invokes both hooks concurrently.

### Added
- **Codex CLI support (initial)** - the same Go binary now handles OpenAI Codex CLI hooks: `Stop` (turn completion, classified from the final assistant message) and `PermissionRequest` (new `permission_request` status with sound, webhook colors, and Focus Mode break-through). Ships as a native Codex plugin (`.codex-plugin/plugin.json` + `hooks/hooks-codex.json`) with dedicated launchers `bin/codex-hook-wrapper.sh`/`.cmd`. Codex `SubagentStop` is decoded but not delivered yet. Known limitations: `PermissionRequest` cannot fire when Codex never asks for approval (bypass/never modes), and Windows support for the Codex route is not declared until proven.

Remove the stale SubagentStop limitation.

The earlier Unreleased bullet on Line 11 still says Codex SubagentStop is decoded but not delivered yet, while the new entry documents opt-in delivery. Update or merge the earlier bullet so the Unreleased notes do not contradict the implementation.

Describe the notification boundary precisely.

internal/hooks/codex_source.go retains the complete raw event and ToolInput. The integration test proves only that option details, IDs, and secret fields are absent from the notification message. Replace “never leave the payload” with “are not included in the notification message” so the documentation matches the implementation.
