What

Adds SDK-side support needed for Codex notifications in claude-notifications-go:

  • New decoded events: codex/Stop, codex/SubagentStop, codex/PermissionRequest, codex/PreToolUse (snake_case stdin JSON, observation-style: empty stdout + exit 0 on success).
  • Invocation names are prefixed (CodexStop, CodexSubagentStop, CodexPermissionRequest) because the flat resolver already assigns bare Stop/SubagentStop/PermissionRequest to Claude. Same pattern Gemini already uses. Descriptor Event stays clean (Stop).
  • New hostdetect package (public-beta): fail-closed detection of which host product invoked the hook. Explicit override wins, unknown override is an error, payload sniffing is bounded top-level JSON only. Notably CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not usable as a Claude marker since Codex exports it too.
  • Root export MaxPayloadBytes so consumers stop duplicating the 1 MiB magic number.
  • CanonicalInvocationName gets a codex branch so the prefixed invocations do not trigger the false hook_event_name mismatch warning on stderr.

Testing

Final head: 0a782741bf9bb4ba3e6571b64ce88d004bfaa62c.

  • Required tests, native Linux/Windows, polyglot and acquisition smoke, docs, CodeQL and vulnerability checks passed.

  • Fixed the review finding for JSON null: custom payload sniffers are never called for a null object. Regression included.

  • Synced main without conflicts so exact-head authoring checks have their inputs; serialized doctor fixtures that previously raced on a shared lookup function.

  • Full go test ./... green in sdk, root module (incl. repotests) and cli module.

  • Decode units cover the verbatim payload captured from a live Codex CLI v0.152.0 Stop hook, null/missing fields, multibyte UTF-8, size guard at limit-1/limit/limit+1, malformed/empty input.

  • Resolver regression: bare Stop still resolves to claude, CodexStop resolves to codex/Stop.

  • App-level tests prove each new hook decodes, invokes the handler once, and writes zero process output.

Docs updated: README, STABILITY, CHANGELOG, regenerated support matrix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Codex lifecycle hooks for Stop, SubagentStop, PreToolUse, and PermissionRequest events with JSON payload handling and acknowledgements.
    • Added host-platform detection for Claude and Codex using overrides, environment signals, and payload inspection.
    • Exposed a standard maximum payload-size limit for JSON data.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented custom registrations from shadowing reserved Codex lifecycle hook names.
  • Documentation

    • Documented Codex hooks, host detection, payload behavior, and beta SDK status.

Integration status

Merged as 7dc3d70. Product PRs 777genius/agent-notifications#137, #138, #139 and #140 are merged. Product release qualification is tracked in 777genius/agent-notifications#141.

Draft sdk/v1.2.0 is prepared, but its public module tag is not created. Publication requires separate owner approval. The product retains the reviewed reproducible pseudo-version; its SDK subtree is identical to the merged SDK subtree, so code integration does not depend on publishing the module tag.

- codex/Stop, codex/SubagentStop, codex/PermissionRequest decoded from
  snake_case stdin JSON with prefixed invocation names (CodexStop,
  CodexSubagentStop, CodexPermissionRequest) so bare event names stay
  owned by Claude in the flat resolver
- observation-style encode: empty stdout, exit 0
- hostdetect package: fail-closed platform detection with explicit
  override, env markers, and bounded top-level payload sniffing
- export MaxPayloadBytes from the root package
- canonical invocation names for codex to suppress the false
  hook_event_name mismatch warning
- regenerate descriptors, registrars, resolvers, and support docs

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK adds four Codex lifecycle hooks, fail-closed host detection, and the root MaxPayloadBytes export. It wires JSON decoding, acknowledgement encoding, public handlers, invocation resolution, tests, generated-file checks, and documentation.

Changes

SDK runtime surfaces

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host detection pipeline
sdk/hostdetect/*, sdk/plugin_kit_ai.go
Adds ordered override, environment, and bounded JSON detection for Claude and Codex. Unknown or invalid input fails closed.
Codex payload contracts and codecs
sdk/internal/platforms/codex/*
Adds typed payloads and empty acknowledgement encoding for Stop, SubagentStop, PreToolUse, and PermissionRequest.
Codex event descriptors
sdk/internal/descriptors/defs/*, scripts/check-generated-sync.sh
Registers four beta Codex events and checks generated descriptor and registrar files for drift.
Public handlers and invocation resolution
sdk/codex/*, sdk/internal/runtime/*
Adds public event aliases, registrar methods, typed wrappers, and prefixed Codex name canonicalization.
Integration validation and documentation
sdk/*_test.go, sdk/README.md, sdk/STABILITY.md, sdk/CHANGELOG.md
Adds hook, resolver, codec, host-detection, and event-order coverage. Documents the public-beta surfaces and shared payload limit.
Test fixture serialization
cli/plugin-kit-ai/internal/app/*_test.go
Serializes tests that replace the package-global binary lookup function.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0a782

This adds Codex lifecycle hook support, host detection, and a shared payload limit. The supplied coverage validates event decoding, invocation resolution, bounded payload handling, and successful empty-output acknowledgements, with no current merge-blocking risk identified.

codex/PreToolUse decodes the verified v0.152.0 wire (tool_name,

invocation CodexPreToolUse, observation-style like the other Codex
lifecycle hooks. Enables consumers to react to specific tools such as
request_user_input via hooks.json matchers.
