Closes #3361.

Local cross-lane battery: deterministic host-frame/lifecycle/schema tiers plus --with-model (real reviewer) and --with-host (real codex exec, pi print-mode relay, headless opencode run in sandboxed HOME). Includes the bounded 61-line correction from its own RDD review: work-root cleanup on failing exits (credential retention), WaitDelay/timeout bounds for host and model lanes, err-shadow fixes, newest-schema precedence, admission assertion, and a fail-able pi probe.

RDD receipt: review-f934ba904c3037ec (approved, 4R, one bounded correction).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a cross-lane integration battery for validating capabilities, review workflows, consent, corrections, evidence, and approvals.
    • Added optional integrations with Claude, Codex, Pi, and OpenCode, including automatic prerequisite checks and skip handling.
    • Added schema conformance checks for published envelope formats.
    • Added deterministic local execution with optional model and real-host runs, timeout protection, result reporting, and token-cost tracking.
    • Added JSON-based harnesses for capturing and validating transport and review results.

… and schema seams

Drives a real gentle-ai binary end to end, outside CI:
- opencode lane: the real transport plugin bytes through an emulated Task
  hook surface with HOST-assembled binding frames (lens and validator role),
  against a live scratch-repo lineage; host-shaped frames are known-red
  pending fix/opencode-host-binding
- claude lane: low-risk lifecycle to gate allow, medium consent/v3
  round-trip, and an optional --with-model real reviewer run
- schema lane: every captured envelope validated against the published
  contracts/review-integration schemas; divergences fail the run

Entry point: scripts/cross-lane-battery.sh --binary <path> [--with-model]
Extends the local battery with three lanes that spawn REAL host
applications end to end against the binary under test, on top of the
untouched deterministic tier:

- host-codex: the compiled codex adapter spawns a real locked-down
  `codex exec` reviewer for a medium capture (--agent codex) and the
  lifecycle follows negotiated transitions to the approved receipt.
- host-pi: the lens capture runs through the INSTALLED gentle-pi
  lib/review-host-relay.ts (byte-identical copy relocated out of
  node_modules for Node type-stripping), which spawns a brand-new
  locked-down print-mode pi subprocess; refuter/validator legs run
  through the Go-owned pi spawn (--execute). Requires and sets the
  gentle-pi.review-relay/v1 handshake. Print-mode probe documents that
  pi does load extensions headlessly, and why the extension-driven
  orchestrator flow is not a boundable lane.
- host-opencode: a real headless `opencode run` session in a sandboxed
  HOME (real transport plugin, real synced review agents, copied auth,
  all lane gentle-ai state under the sandbox because the transport
  child inherits the host environment) must relay the start and
  completion frames through the live hooks before the lifecycle
  reaches the receipt - the lane that catches host-app behavior such
  as swallowed hook throws.

Every with-host lane is bounded by a 12-minute per-command timeout,
reports PASS/FAIL/SKIP(reason), records its envelopes into the schema
lane, and the summary prints the real model runs spent on the dev
subscription. correction_required from a real reviewer is reported as
a legitimate outcome, mirroring the claude --with-model lane.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a local cross-lane battery with deterministic Claude, OpenCode, and schema checks, optional model execution, and optional Codex, Pi, and OpenCode host integrations. The battery captures lifecycle results, validates published envelopes, reports costs, and enforces bounded command execution.

Changes

Cross-lane battery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Battery foundation and command orchestration
scripts/cross-lane-battery.sh, scripts/crosslane/battery.go, scripts/crosslane/main.go
Adds the launcher, timed command execution, scratch repositories, contract helpers, result tracking, CLI flags, cleanup, and tabular reporting.

scripts/crosslane/claude.go
Exercises low-risk lifecycle approval, medium-risk consent and lens selection, optional model review, evidence collection, and bounded terminal transitions.
OpenCode relay and hook checks
scripts/crosslane/opencode.go, scripts/crosslane/harness.mts, scripts/crosslane/pirelay.mts
Runs transport hook cases, validates host and typed bindings, handles correction and verification flows, and emits typed relay results.
Real host integration lanes
scripts/crosslane/host.go, scripts/crosslane/hostcodex.go, scripts/crosslane/hostpi.go, scripts/crosslane/hostopencode.go
Adds optional Codex, Pi, and OpenCode execution with prerequisite checks, sandboxing, relay capture, lifecycle following, and receipt validation.
Schema conformance lane
scripts/crosslane/schema.go
Compiles published schemas, validates captured envelopes, summarizes validation failures, and implements the published path-pattern behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f6dc2

The PR adds cross-lane validation, but the current implementation can report success after failed lifecycle or admission transitions, miss invalid schema responses, hang on stalled child processes, or run against the wrong binary when setup fails. It is not merge-ready until these bounded validation and execution issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Pull request overview

Adds a local cross-lane integration battery (go run ./scripts/crosslane via scripts/cross-lane-battery.sh) intended to deterministically exercise the review lifecycle seams (host-frame binding, provider role frames, schema conformance), with optional real-model (--with-model) and real-host (--with-host) tiers for Codex, Pi, and OpenCode.

Changes:

  • Introduces a Go harness that drives deterministic OpenCode + Claude review flows, captures emitted envelopes, and validates them against published contracts/review-integration/*/schemas.
  • Adds a real-host tier that sandboxes and runs codex exec, a print-mode pi relay, and a headless opencode run session with bounded timeouts and step budgets.
  • Adds Node/TypeScript hook harnesses (.mts) to emulate OpenCode hook surfaces and to drive the installed gentle-pi host relay.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/crosslane/battery.go`:
- Around line 253-260: Update captureCapabilities to fail each capabilities
response when doc is nil, the command exits nonzero, or doc.schema is empty;
preserve successful capture for non-empty unknown schemas so later schema
validation can report them.

In `@scripts/crosslane/claude.go`:
- Around line 187-189: Update the approved-receipt branch in the model lane
before the return: derive the receipt lineage, stage the reviewed candidate,
invoke the negotiated pre-commit gate through the existing review.validate flow,
and require an allow result before calling b.pass. Reuse the same staged
validation path and symbols as the low-risk lane, preserving failure behavior
when the post-apply gate is not allowed.

In `@scripts/crosslane/harness.mts`:
- Around line 37-40: Move the plugin initialization call into the existing try
block in the harness entry flow, and ensure failures from plugin(...) are caught
and returned in the same structured JSON result shape as other hook failures.
Preserve the existing directory and worktree arguments and normal hook execution
behavior when initialization succeeds.
- Around line 20-21: Add a prerequisite check in the harness startup that
validates Node.js is version 22.18.0+ or 23.6.0+, while retaining the existing
node-availability check. If the version is unsupported, exit with a clear
message stating the required versions; alternatively, document this minimum
version wherever the harness prerequisites are defined.

In `@scripts/crosslane/host.go`:
- Around line 190-193: Update hostCaptureLens to pass its env parameter into
runPiRelaySlot on the materialize branch, then update runPiRelaySlot to merge
that lane environment with its existing relay environment while preserving the
lane’s HOME and XDG_* overrides.
- Around line 93-99: Update battery.runCommandLineEnv to parse provider-rendered
commands with shell-aware semantics using SplitPrintedCommandWords or the
structured argument tokens instead of strings.Fields; reject and return parse
errors before invoking runJSONEnv, while preserving validation that the first
token is gentle-ai. Add coverage for quoted values containing spaces or
newlines.

In `@scripts/crosslane/hostcodex.go`:
- Around line 24-30: Update the hostCodex lane setup around os.UserHomeDir and
hostCodexLane so any home-directory resolution error immediately skips the lane
and returns, matching the handling in the hostopencode flow; only perform the
.codex/auth.json credential check after the home directory is successfully
resolved.

In `@scripts/crosslane/hostopencode.go`:
- Around line 104-109: Apply the bounded-execution pattern to all three command
sites: in scripts/crosslane/hostopencode.go lines 104-109, set WaitDelay on the
existing session command; in scripts/crosslane/opencode.go lines 403-406,
replace exec.Command with exec.CommandContext using hostCommandTimeout and set
WaitDelay; in scripts/crosslane/hostpi.go lines 98-103, add a hostCommandTimeout
context and WaitDelay to the pi --help probe.
- Around line 243-250: Update battery.hostShimPath to return an error when
os.MkdirAll or os.WriteFile fails, preserving the shim path only after both
operations succeed; then update its call site around the host operation setup to
handle the returned error and fail the lane with diagnostic context.
- Around line 185-191: Update the host operation cleanup flow around the
auth.json copy and --keep-work handling to remove the copied credentials file
before exiting, while preserving the rest of workRoot. Ensure cleanup occurs on
failed runs as well as normal exits, without deleting the entire work directory.

In `@scripts/crosslane/hostpi.go`:
- Around line 202-207: Update the result-artifact validation in the relay
capture check to require both the existing schema value and admission_decision
equal to "completed" before passing. Preserve the failure path for non-matching
artifacts and only report that the capture was admitted when both conditions
succeed.

In `@scripts/crosslane/main.go`:
- Around line 49-55: Update the binary validation around resolved and the
existing os.Stat check to reject directories and non-executable files before
creating the work directory or starting any lane. Use exec.LookPath(resolved) or
an equivalent executable-file validation while preserving the current error
message and exit status for unusable paths.

In `@scripts/crosslane/opencode.go`:
- Line 405: Replace the append(os.Environ(), ...) environment construction in
scripts/crosslane/opencode.go lines 405-405 with mergeEnvironment so the harness
PATH override reliably wins for child processes. Also replace the appended
piRelayContractEnv in scripts/crosslane/hostpi.go lines 183-188 with
mergeEnvironment, preserving the exact relay contract handshake value; both
sites require direct changes.
- Around line 164-176: Update the control-case setup in the lensCaptured
fallback to locate the hostPairs entry whose key is "order" and replace that
pair with the JSON-number value, rather than assigning goPairs[3]. Preserve the
existing lens-go-typed behavior and ensure the control case remains correct if
hostPairs ordering changes.
- Line 366: Remove the unused repo parameter from battery.prepareHookHarness,
delete the corresponding _ = repo discard, and update its sole call site to
invoke prepareHookHarness without an argument.
- Around line 446-453: Update the role-binding decoding in the function
containing binding and reserialized to use a json.Decoder with UseNumber before
unmarshalling into map[string]any, so numeric literals retain their original
precision and representation during re-serialization while only key ordering
changes.

In `@scripts/crosslane/schema.go`:
- Around line 40-45: Track every unpublished envelope as a divergence while
retaining the existing bounded diagnostic behavior: increment a separate
failure-count field or variable for each !published case, but append the
explanatory message only when state.failures is empty. Update the summary at the
reporting logic around state.failures to use the total failure count rather than
len(state.failures), preserving the existing diagnostic list.
- Line 12: Update the unknown-schema envelope handling in the schema validation
flow to increment the failure count for every envelope, including repeated
unknown schemas, so totals report all failures. Preserve the existing bounded
diagnostic text behavior.

Require a schema identity for each capabilities response.

Line 254 and Line 257 accept {} as a successful response. record then excludes that document because schema is empty. The schema lane cannot detect the contract violation.

Fail these checks when schema is empty. A non-empty unknown schema will then remain captured and fail schema validation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fail the lane when a status or consent command exits non-zero.

These calls use the returned envelope but do not require code == 0. A command can emit a valid partial envelope and then fail. The battery can then execute later transitions and report a pass after a failed lifecycle boundary.

Check the exit code before using each status or consent envelope. Preserve the exit code at Lines 55, 73, 114, 146, and 177 instead of discarding it.

Also applies to: 55-56, 73-74, 108-110, 114-117, 146-149, 177-178

Validate the post-apply gate before passing the model lane.

Lines 187-189 return immediately after an approved receipt. This path never stages the reviewed candidate, requests the negotiated pre-commit gate transition, or asserts an allow result. The optional model lane can pass while the documented post-apply gate fails.

After an approved receipt, derive its lineage and run the same staged review.validate flow used by the low-risk lane.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Which Node.js version runs .mts TypeScript files natively without --experimental-strip-types?

💡 Result:

Node.js executes.mts files natively without requiring the --experimental-strip-types flag starting from version 23.6.0 [1]. In versions prior to 23.6.0, the flag was necessary to enable type stripping [2][3]. As of current stable versions (such as Node.js 24 and 26), type stripping is enabled by default [4][5][6]. When running.mts files, Node.js treats them as ES modules [4][5]. The native execution works by "type stripping," which removes erasable TypeScript syntax (such as type annotations, interfaces, and type aliases) and executes the remaining JavaScript [4][2]. Node.js does not perform type checking; for that, you should use the TypeScript compiler (tsc) separately [4][2]. Note that while the feature is now stable, it is limited to erasable syntax [2]. TypeScript features that require JavaScript code generation—such as enums, namespaces, or parameter properties—are not handled by this default stripping mechanism and would require additional configuration or a dedicated transpilation step [2].

Node.js official documentation type stripping enabled by default v22.18.0 v23.6.0 .mts

💡 Result:

Yes, Node.js type stripping is enabled by default in both Node.js v22.18.0 and Node.js v23.6.0 [1][2][3]. Starting with these versions, Node.js natively supports executing TypeScript files that contain only erasable TypeScript syntax (such as type annotations, interfaces, type aliases, and import type) without requiring any additional flags [1][4]. Node.js performs this by removing (stripping) the erasable syntax and replacing it with whitespace before execution, without performing any type checking [1][5]. Key details regarding this feature include: - Default Behavior: Node.js now automatically detects and executes TypeScript files (e.g.,.ts,.mts) using this lightweight process [1][4]. - Disabling the Feature: If you need to disable type stripping, you can use the --no-strip-types flag [1][5]. - Limitations: This feature is designed to be lightweight and does not support TypeScript syntax that requires JavaScript code generation, such as enums, parameter properties, or namespaces [4][6][7]. Additionally, it ignores tsconfig.json files, meaning features like path aliasing are not supported [5][3]. - Stability: Type stripping became stable in Node.js v24.12.0 and v25.2.0 [1][6]. Prior to becoming enabled by default and stable, the feature was available via experimental flags such as --experimental-strip-types [4][8]. For projects requiring full TypeScript support, including features like code generation or tsconfig.json compliance, the official documentation recommends using a third-party TypeScript runner or transpilation step [5].

Add a Node.js version check or document the minimum version.

scripts/crosslane/opencode.go runs node harness.mts, which requires Node.js 22.18.0+ or 23.6.0+ for unflagged native type stripping. The current prerequisite check only verifies that node exists. Older versions fail with a syntax error instead of a clear prerequisite message. The CI workflow uses Node.js 24, but the local prerequisite is not enforced.

Report plugin initialization failures as a structured result.

The plugin(...) call sits outside the try block that starts at line 44. If the plugin factory throws while loading, the process exits with an unhandled rejection. runHookCase in scripts/crosslane/opencode.go lines 407-413 then reports only "hook harness crashed" plus the first stderr line.

A plugin-load regression is one of the defect classes this battery targets. Capture it in the same JSON result shape.

prepareHookHarness ignores repo with the _ = repo discard at line 388. The discard is a dead-code artifact. Drop the parameter and update the single call site at line 102.

Child environments are built with append(os.Environ(), ...) instead of mergeEnvironment. Both sites append an override to the inherited environment, which leaves two entries for the same variable. Go's exec package resolves duplicates by keeping the last entry, but the Node children read the environment through libc, which commonly returns the first. The override can therefore be ignored in the child. mergeEnvironment in scripts/crosslane/host.go lines 28-43 was written to remove this ambiguity and is already used correctly by openCodeSandboxSessionEnvironment in scripts/crosslane/hostopencode.go line 237.

  • scripts/crosslane/opencode.go#L405-L405: replace the appended PATH override with a mergeEnvironment call so the harness shim directory reliably wins for the node child and the gentle-ai spawn.
  • scripts/crosslane/hostpi.go#L183-L188: replace the appended piRelayContractEnv with a mergeEnvironment call so the exact GENTLE_PI_REVIEW_RELAY_CONTRACT handshake value cannot be shadowed by an inherited one.

Preserve numeric literals with UseNumber during re-serialization.

json.Unmarshal into map[string]any decodes every JSON number to float64. Re-marshalling then reformats those numbers. An integer above 2^53 loses precision, and other values can change representation, for example 1000000 to 1e+06.

The doc comment at lines 436-438 states that this function preserves the binding semantics at the field level and changes only the key order. With float64 decoding, that guarantee does not hold for numeric fields such as order. The validator lane would then report a rejection caused by a changed value, not by key reordering.

Count every schema divergence.

Lines 41-44 retain one diagnostic for an unpublished identity. Line 74 then reports len(state.failures) as the divergence count. For example, three envelopes with the same unpublished identity report 1/3 envelope(s) diverge, although all three fail validation. Track the failure count separately from the bounded diagnostic list.

Proposed fix
 type outcome struct {
   total    int
+  failed   int
   failures []string
 }

 if !published {
+  state.failed++
   if len(state.failures) == 0 {
     state.failures = append(state.failures, "no published schema in contracts/ covers this emitted envelope")
   }
   continue
 }

 if err != nil {
+  state.failed++
   state.failures = append(state.failures, fmt.Sprintf("%s: %v", envelope.Source, err))
   continue
 }

 if err := schema.Validate(document); err != nil {
+  state.failed++
   detail := err.Error()
   // ...
 }
