+# OpenCodex Go Takeover
+
+OpenCodex is migrating its CLI and server from Bun/TypeScript to a single static Go binary (ADR-0008), surface by surface, each proven by a differential oracle. This context covers the language of that migration: ownership, flips, the delegation seam, oracles, and the accepted end state.
+
+## Language
+
+### Ownership and the flip
+
+**Go-owned** / **TypeScript-owned**:
+A command surface is owned by whichever implementation dispatches it. Go-owned surfaces live in `go/internal/ocxcli` and pass an oracle; TypeScript-owned surfaces delegate through the seam. The `Commands` table `Owner` field is the single source of truth.
+_Avoid_: native (overloaded), migrated (implies a state reached without an oracle).
+
+**Surface**:
+One executable face — a top-level command name, or a verb/sub-command inside a family.
+_Avoid_: command (ambiguous between the surface and its implementation).
+
+**Family**:
+A group of commands that migrate as one batch (e.g. launchers, lifecycle, management reads).
+_Avoid_: group, area.
+
+**Flip**:
+Moving one surface from TypeScript-owned to Go-owned, shipped as one batch with its oracle rows; the flip deletes the surface's deferral entry.
+_Avoid_: port (a rewrite), migrate (whole-program drift).
+
+**Delegation seam**:
+The mechanism that runs a TypeScript-owned surface from the Go binary (`DelegateToTypeScript`, `go/internal/ocxcli/delegate.go`). The ledger `deferredSurfaces` (`deferral.go`, issue #55) records every delegated surface with its reason and track.
+_Avoid_: fallback (implies failure), shim (a different wrapper concept).
+
+**Deferral**:
+An explicitly recorded TypeScript-owned surface in `deferredSurfaces` carrying a reason (why no oracle exists yet) and a track (the ticket or boundary record that lifts it). A deferral with no track is either platform-bound or awaiting an oracle.
+_Avoid_: TODO, debt (both imply accident; deferrals are deliberate).
+
+### Oracles (ADR-0009)
+
+**Oracle**:
+The evidence that the Go and TypeScript implementations are equivalent for a surface — the gate a flip must pass. Never replaced by one-sided tests.
+_Avoid_: test, coverage (equivalence evidence, not pass/fail of one side).
+
+**T1 byte parity**:
+Oracle by diffing stdout/stderr/exit code over identical argv against the same environment — the original and default form.
+_Avoid_: "parity" alone (ambiguous with the masked form).
+
+**T2 masked parity**:
+Oracle run in the same wall-clock window, with explicitly declared volatile fields masked — never an ad-hoc mask list.
+
+**T3 golden fixture**:
+Oracle against offline stubs — a stubbed server, a fixed seeded home, a pinned catalog, a stubbed release endpoint.
+
+**T4 platform lane**:
+Oracle per operating system (systemd / launchd / Windows), each lane its own environment.
+
+**T5 interactive subset**:
+Oracle over only the non-interactive branches of an interactive command; the interactive branches stay on the Bun-dependent surface.
+
+**Volatile field**:
+A field that legitimately differs between two equivalent runs and must be masked (T2) or declared non-deterministic. Declared where the oracle is, never silently.
+_Avoid_: noise field (implies ignorable).
+
+### End state
+
+**Batch**:
+One flip shipped as a unit — surface-map flip in cli.go + native dispatch + help + parity rows, in one commit (the #45–#54 pattern).
+_Avoid_: PR-size, commit (batches are semantic units, not size buckets).
+
+**Standalone**:
+The single Go binary that needs no Bun or checkout. Under ADR-0009 the meaning is precise: every oracle-able surface is Go-owned; the rest are an explicit Bun-dependent list.
+_Avoid_: complete, done (both imply a state this repo defines precisely instead of assuming).
+
+**Static release identity**:
+The immutable identity carried by a standalone artifact: its version and runtime source. It is defined at build time (or as the explicit `dev` identity for an unversioned development build) and cannot be overridden at runtime; it is never inferred from the working directory, a checkout, Bun, environment variables, or installation layout. The Go artifact ignores Bun runtime markers. `dev` is observable but is not comparable with release versions: a version-skew comparison with `dev` on either side never diagnoses a mismatch. Its runtime path names the resolved artifact, or `unknown` when the platform cannot resolve it. It varies by actual artifact without changing the shared status JSON shape or schema version.
+_Avoid_: runtime detection, package discovery (both describe environment-dependent observations, not artifact identity).
+
+**Bun-dependent surface**:
+A surface that deliberately keeps the TypeScript owner in the end state — interactive OAuth, OS service managers, Windows tray, network self-replace, coordinator transactions. Recorded per-surface; never a default category.
+_Avoid_: leftovers, exceptions (both imply small or undesirable).

+# `ocx opencode` flip to Go-owned — slice design (issue #56)
+
+Status: design confirmed by owner (grilling Q1–Q6, v2b shipped as `f339b24a3`).
+Scope: flip the `opencode` WholeCommand to `GoOwned` with an env-capture shim
+oracle. `update` and `claude` stay TS-owned for now (their deferral entries are
+untouched by this slice).
+
+## What the TS owner does (src/cli/opencode.ts `cmdOpencode`)
+
+1. `loadConfig()`.
+2. `ensureProxyForOpencode(config)`: `findLiveProxy()` first; when none, spawns a
+   detached `ocx start --port <cfgPort|10100>` with `OCX_SERVICE=1` (+
+   `OCX_API_TOKEN_FILE` hardening when no env token) and polls up to 8 s.
+   Failure prints `❌ Proxy did not become healthy after starting.` (exit 1).
+3. `opencodeApiKey(config)`: env `OPENCODEX_API_AUTH_TOKEN` → service token file
+   → `config.apiKeys[0]?.key` → `"ocx"`. Never serialized into the inline config.
+4. `fetchOpencodeProxyModels(live, apiKey)`: GET
+   `http://<probeHostname(hostname)>:<port>/api/models` with `Accept: application/json`
+   (+ `X-OpenCodex-API-Key` when the trimmed token is non-empty), 8 s deadline;
+   error texts: timed-out / unreachable / non-2xx body `error` / unexpected payload.
+5. `opencodeCatalogFromProxyRows`: drop disabled, drop native under Codex Direct,
+   first namespaced wins, drop fallback displayName.
+6. `buildOpencodeProviderBlocksFromCatalog(port, catalog, hostname, config)`:
+   one V1 + one V2 block. **This is the same serializer `ocx export` uses**
+   (`opencodeProviderBlocks` in config-export.ts) — except export runs
+   `normalizeExportModels` (dedupe + sort) first and resolves baseURL as
+   `root + "/v1"`, while the launcher does NOT sort and resolves baseURL through
+   `opencodeProxyBaseUrl(port, hostname, config)` (probe-hostname form, plus the
+   `unauthenticatedLoopbackListener` standalone-codex target). Only the baseURL
+   resolution and the sort differ.
+7. `opencodeProviderOverridePath(cwd)`: global
+   `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME|~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` then upward project
+   `opencode.json|.jsonc` search that stops at the git root; JSONC-parses each
+   file to detect `provider.opencodex` / `providers.opencodex`.
+8. `buildOpencodeEnv(blocks, apiKey, process.env)`:
+   `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` = JSON of `{...parsed, $schema: string?,
+   provider: {...existing.provider, opencodex: v1},
+   providers: {...existing.providers, opencodex: v2}}`; child env additionally
+   gets `OPENCODE_API_KEY` (`OPENCODEX_OPENCODE_API_KEY`).
+9. stderr wiring lines:
+   `✅ opencode wired to <baseUrl> — <n> model(s) under provider \`opencodex\`.`
+   `   Your existing opencode config files are left untouched; only the runtime provider blocks are injected.`
+   `ℹ <path> also defines our provider key; the runtime layer from ocx opencode overrides it for this launch.` (when override found)
+10. spawn `opencode <args...>` (win-exec commandInvocation), stdio inherit,
+    exit-code passthrough, ENOENT hint `❌ \`opencode\` CLI not found. Install it first: npm install -g opencode-ai`,
+    win32 9009 hint, other spawn errors`❌ Failed to launch opencode: <err>`.
+
+## Reuse inventory on the Go side (go/internal/ocxcli)
+
+- `liveProxyEndpoint` / `proxyServesOpencodex` / `baseURL(state)` — already
+  byte-ported (usage/observe/export use them); oracle-green.
+- `exportModelsFromProxyRowsRaw` + `opencodeCatalogFromProxyRows` +
+  `normalizeExportModels` + `exportOpenCodeProviderBlocks` + labels / context /
+  effort-variants (export_models.go, export_build.go) — byte-ported from the
+  same TS `opencodeProviderBlocks` serializer family; export parity is green.
+- Config view reading (`codexDirect`, `unauthLoopback`, `hostname`) —
+  `readExportConfig` in export_command.go.
+- Launcher spawn shell: `minimax_launcher.go` (spawnLauncherClient,
+  launcherCommandInvocation win-exec port, hint conventions) as pattern.
+
+New code needed (opencode_command.go + tests):
+
+- baseURL via `opencodeProxyBaseUrl` port (probe-hostname + standalone target);
+  the launcher's non-sorted, non-normalized catalog → blocks path reusing the
+  export serializer's per-model mapping (verify byte-identity with a probe
+  before trusting reuse — the model projection differs: catalog keeps provider
+  `""` vs export's "routed"/"openai" fallback).
+- `opencodeApiKey` precedence (env → service token file → config key → "ocx").
+- fetchOpencodeProxyModels error texts (distinct from fetchManagementJSON).
+- JSONC strip/parse + provider-override path search + git-root walk.
+- merge/serialize of `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`.
+- spawn `opencode` + stdio inherit + exit/hint handling.

+## Oracle (env-capture shim)
+
+Describe-local Bun.serve fixture serving `/healthz` identity + `/api/models`
+rows; runtime-port.json so both CLIs resolve the live proxy (no self-start).
+PATH fake `opencode` shim (bash) that echoes `OPENCODEX_CONFIG_CONTENT`,
+`OPENCODEX_OPENCODE_API_KEY`, and argv, then exits with a row-chosen code.
+Rows compare TS vs Go bytes for stdout/stderr/exit:
+normal catalog, empty/disabled/native-direct shapes, inherited valid
+OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT (foreign keys preserved), inherited invalid JSON /
+non-object, project override detection, ENOENT (no shim), shim exit-code
+passthrough, catalog fetch failure, and api-key precedence rows. win32 rows
+skipped (no bash-shim oracle). Self-start path excluded from parity (spawns a
+real proxy) — covered by Go unit tests with injected deps only.
+
+## Verification gate
+
+`go test ./...`, `go vet ./internal/ocxcli/`, `bun run typecheck`, focused
+parity describe green; delete the opencode deferral entries (WholeCommand only —
+opencode has no SubcommandSeam), flip cli.go table row + dispatch, update issue
+# 56 Progress, one commit.
+
+## Outcome (2026-09-09)
+
+Landed as `flip the ocx opencode launcher to Go (issue #56)`:
+
+- Engine (`opencode_engine.go`) + command (`opencode_command.go`) + four Go test
+  files; goldens frozen from the real TS serializer at a fixed port; the fetch
+  lane has an injected-client harness for the timeout/unreachable/status/body
+  error texts. Full `go test ./...`, `go vet`, and `bun run typecheck` green.
+- Parity describe "ocx opencode slice (issue #56)" adds 7 rows against a live
+  fixture proxy + env-capture shim: wired lane (pinned stderr + content bytes),
+  argv passthrough, exit-code passthrough, ENOENT hint, admission-key precedence
+  (service file > config apiKeys > placeholder), inherited-content merge + its
+  invalid-JSON error, and the provider-override ℹ line. All rows pass.
+- cli.go row flips `opencode` → GoOwned with a dispatch case; the deferral.go
+  WholeCommand entry is deleted (ledger bijection green). Self-start lane and
+  win32 remain out of parity by design.
+
+### Residuals recorded
+
+- **apiKeys metadata repair notice**: the TS config loader emits
+  `⚠️  config.json apiKeys: repaired metadata …` on stderr when an apiKeys
+  entry lacks id/name/createdAt; the Go loader does not reproduce that
+  warning lane. Parity fixtures use metadata-complete entries so the row
+  compares launcher bytes only. Candidate for a config-family ticket in the
+  post-#56 inventory, not an opencode-engine defect.
+- Detached-self-start env divergence (TS sets `OCX_SERVICE=1` + hardened
+  `OCX_API_TOKEN_FILE`; Go inherits the current env) — same service-token
+  bootstrap for a normal shell; documented in opencode_command.go, unexercisable
+  by parity (the oracle always has a live fixture proxy).

+Unit: `devlog/_plan/260909_ocx56_opencode_claude_flips/`. Sibling of
+`000_opencode_slice_design.md` (opencode, landed `cd97aadc9`).
+
+## Confirmed decisions (grill 2026-09-09, owner sign-off)
+
+1. **Slice boundary — one flip of the entire cmdClaude launch engine.** local
+   (standalone/disconnected) and connected routes are config-file driven, not
+   argv separable, so v2a/v2b-style argv slicing is not expressible; gateway
+   cache pre-write and agents-inject interleave with the launch flow. Single
+   slice = single commit: auth-detect/mode, buildClaudeEnv full env assembly,
+   both routes, context windows (management API fetch + connected catalog
+   decode), gateway model cache write, agent roster sync, spawn/hints,
+   exit-code passthrough.
+2. **`ocx claude desktop …` and `ocx claude config …` stay TypeScript.** New
+   OwnershipFor gate returns TypeScriptOwned for those argv[1] values →
+   runDelegated; deferral ledger records two SubcommandSeam rows. Issue #56's
+   claude entry covers the launcher engine only (desktop-3p and integrations
+   families need their own oracles per ADR-0009).
+3. **Env provenance: Go treats its env as trusted.** Go has no Bun dotenv
+   layer and no launch-proof channel, so an ambient `ANTHROPIC_*` export is a
+   genuine parent export — same UX as the real npm launcher (which captures
+   parent env pre-Bun). The TS *untrusted* strip (direct `bun
+   src/cli/index.ts`) never fires in Go. Parity rows neutralize ambient
+   `ANTHROPIC_*` on both sides so the provenance strip never fires; the
+   exported-env (S5) subscription row is Go-unit-only, recorded as a residual.
+4. **Oracle shape — shim dump + fetchedAt normalization.** Fake `claude` shim
+   on PATH dumps sorted env + `gateway-models.json` + `~/.claude/agents`
+   contents to stdout; `fetchedAt` ms normalized before compare (PID
+   normalization precedent in the parity file). Fixture proxy serves
+   `/healthz`, `/api/claude-code`, and `/v1/models?ids=cli`.

+# Go sidecar takeover — first increment: fresh `go/` + one read-only route
+
+Date: 2026-09-05
+Status: implemented on `dev-go` (first increment landed per ADR-0008)
+ADR: [`docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md`](../../docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md)
+
+## Delivery notes (dev-go)
+
+The open questions below were settled during implementation as follows:
+
+- **Nested `go/go.mod`** was used (module `github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/go`), keeping the Go
+  tree self-contained under `go/`.
+- **Supervision primitive**: `src/providers/openai-sidecar.ts` turned out to be credential
+  selection, not process supervision, so the implementer built the small supervisor in
+  `src/server/go-sidecar.ts` (spawn → ready-line handshake → register → child-exit
+  deregistration), reusing `direct-local-http.ts` for the forwarded request and
+  `optional-shutdown-hooks.ts` for teardown.
+- Activation is env-gated (`OPENCODEX_GO_SIDECAR_BIN`), synchronous within the
+  `startServer` activation window, and default-OFF, so a default install is byte-identical to
+  a build without Go.
+- The differential oracle lives in `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`; Go toolchain gates and
+  the oracle run in CI under the `go` job plus setup-go on the suite lanes.
+- `.gitignore`/`tests/repo-hygiene.test.ts` were reconciled with ADR-0008: `go/` is tracked
+  source again, `go/bin/` build output stays ignored.
+
+## Objective
+
+Land the first Go increment on `dev` per ADR-0008: a fresh Go module under
+`go/` building an `ocx-sidecar` binary, spawned and supervised by the
+TypeScript server, serving exactly one read-only management route
+(`GET /api/system/health`) with byte-identical HTTP semantics, plus the
+differential oracle harness that proves it.
+
+This increment migrates nothing else: no proxy hot path, no CLI, no write
+route. Its only job is to prove the seam — TS front door → Go sidecar →
+differential oracle — with zero user-visible change.
+
+## Shape
+
+- Go module at `go/` (`go.mod`, module path `github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/go`),
+  a fresh codebase. Nothing is copied from `archive/dev2-go`; that archive is
+  reference material only (consulted, never forked).
+- Binary: `go/cmd/ocx-sidecar` → `ocx-sidecar`, built `CGO_ENABLED=0`.
+- The TS server spawns the sidecar as a child process and supervises it,
+  following the existing sidecar pattern (`openai-sidecar.ts` is the model).
+  It forwards only `GET /api/system/health` to the sidecar over the local HTTP
+  channel (`direct-local-http.ts`); every other route stays in-process TS.
+- The sidecar serves the same JSON shape as the TS handler:
+  `{ status, service, version, uptime, pid }`. `status`, `service`, and
+  `version` must equal the TS values; `uptime` and `pid` are the sidecar's own
+  process values.
+
+## Differential oracle harness
+
+- A Bun test boots the TS server with the sidecar attached, then issues
+  `GET /api/system/health` twice — once to the TS in-process handler and once
+  to the Go sidecar — and asserts byte-identical responses after normalising
+  the declared volatile fields (`pid`, `uptime`).
+- The normalisation set is explicit and declared, never ad-hoc, so no later
+  route can silently widen what "equal" means.
+- This is the divergence class that sank `dev2-go` (Go runtime numbers rendered
+  under JavaScript labels); the harness must fail on any such drift, not log it.
+
+## Accept criteria
+
+- `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, and `go test ./...` clean under `go/`.
+- The differential harness passes in CI: TS handler and Go sidecar agree on
+  status, headers, and the normalised body for `GET /api/system/health`.
+- `bun run typecheck` and the existing Bun suite stay green — no TS behaviour
+  change.
+- No route other than `GET /api/system/health` is affected, and the Go-owned
+  route is declared in the management route registry so the forwarding seam is
+  visible to the existing registry reconciliation test.
+
+## Open questions for the implementer
+
+- Nested `go/go.mod` (module `.../opencodex/go`) versus a root `go.mod`; nested
+  is assumed here to keep the Go tree self-contained under `go/`.
+- Which sidecar supervision primitive to reuse (the exact sidecar spawner to
+  copy), settled during implementation against `openai-sidecar.ts`.

+# 010 — Decision: migrate the Compatibility Lab, do not cut it
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: **decided — migrate** (owner, recorded on [ticket #9](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/9))
+Parent spec: [#6 — Migrate the Compatibility Lab to Go (ADR-0008 increment 6)](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/6)
+ADR: [`docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md`](../../../docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md)
+
+## Decision
+
+The Compatibility Lab is **migrated to Go**, not cut. It remains the last surface to move
+(ADR-0008 increment 6 per spec #6) and stays behind the same ownership seam, reproducing
+its opt-in activation gate and provider slot with byte-identical behavior. Cutting is
+recorded as an owner-rejected alternative: the Lab is **not** removed from the single
+binary, and no discontinuation documentation will be written.
+
+Ticket #9 asked for an explicit migrate-or-cut decision with a cost-vs-value basis so the
+choice is made on evidence rather than defaulted. The evidence is summarized below; the
+owner weighed the same evidence and chose migrate.
+
+## Cost-vs-value basis
+
+### Cost (acknowledged, and why it does not decide the outcome)
+
+- `src/lab/` is 117 TypeScript files / ~21.4k LOC of production code, with ~14.5k LOC of
+  tests across 58 test files — the largest opt-in subsystem in the tree.
+- It is not a thin route layer: SQLite-backed projection/ledger/event stores, a secure
+  artifact store, a signed community registry with origin/revocation handling, conformance
+  suites, a live sandbox runner with MCP loopback and credential leases, an automation
+  scheduler, and a query layer all sit behind the public routes.
+- A Go port must reproduce the synchronous, gap-free activation guarantee and the
+  core-owned slot contract ([#19](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/19)),
+  then prove byte-identical route behavior under the differential oracle
+  ([#33](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/33)).
+- Migrating is strictly more work than cutting. That alone was never the question: the
+  question is whether the Lab is a shipped capability worth keeping.
+
+### Value (why migrate wins)
+
+- **The Lab is a shipped, GUI-exposed capability, not an experiment.** The dashboard
+  exposes a routing control that requires compatibility evidence
+  (`routing.compatibility.enabled`, "require evidence"), a Compatibility Matrix view, a
+  Lab section, and i18n strings in several locales. Cutting the Lab would remove that
+  control and quietly change routing for every install whose profile is gated on
+  compatibility evidence. ADR-0008 states the single-binary endpoint cannot quietly drop
+  a documented opt-in surface; the same principle applies before the flip.
+- **Routing depends on it.** The compatibility evidence provider feeds the synchronous
+  routing assembler (`routeModelInternal`) through the core-owned provider slot. A cut is
+  not a UI cleanup — it deletes an evidence source the policy path already consults for
+  gated profiles.
+- **The seams make migration bounded.** The 2026-07 decoupling campaign
+  ([`devlog/_fin/260814_lab_core_decoupling/`](../../_fin/260814_lab_core_decoupling/))
+  was expensive precisely because the Lab had leaked into the core import graph. Today the
+  activation gate, the passive-route linker, the provider slot, and the optional shutdown
+  hooks are first-class core seams, and the boundary is machine-enforced
+  (`tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts`). Porting into those same seams is mechanical where
+  it was previously architectural.
+- **Independent gating neutralizes the schedule risk.** Lab is increment 6, gated on its
+  own terms (spec #6): it cannot block the management read/write surfaces, the hot path,
+  the CLI, or the flip (#7), which only needs the Lab batch in a terminal state.
+- **Cut still costs.** Cutting would require its own release-note and docs work
+  (spec #6 US6), a GUI/i18n removal sweep, and a deprecation window for existing users —
+  real work with a permanently lost capability at the end.
+
+## Scope for later Lab tickets
+
+This decision sets the direction for the Lab batch under spec #6:
+
+- [#19 — Lab activation gate + provider-slot in Go](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/19):
+  build, not re-scope. Reproduce the opt-in activation gate and the provider-slot seam in
+  Go so the "one provider, no Lab" user still executes no Lab code.
+- [#33 — Lab routes migration + differential](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/33):
+  the migrate branch applies — Lab routes go Go-owned and differential-green. No cut
+  documentation is to be written.
+- The TypeScript Lab remains the operating surface until its batch; no Lab code changes in
+  increments 1–5 and no user-visible change before increment 6.
+
+## Revisit
+
+The decision is recorded now so later Lab tickets have a stable reference, but it is not
+permanent. Spec #6 requires the porting cost to be estimated against usage before the Lab
+batch commits. If adoption evidence collected at that point shows the Lab is effectively
+unused, the owner may reopen [ticket #9](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/9)
+and flip this record to cut — the flip (#7) depends only on the Lab batch reaching a
+terminal state, so revisiting before the batch starts costs nothing.

+
+## What this run delivered
+
+The critical path was walked in dependency order. Increment 1 (#8 → #10 ∥ #11 →
+#12 → #13) already sat on `dev-go` (commit `4b8715a30` + follow-ups); this run
+audited each acceptance criterion against the tree, closed the two gaps that
+were still machine-unproven, and then implemented ticket #14 — the first
+increment-2 ticket, which generalises the one-route seam into the plumbing the
+read-surface batches will use.
+
+### #8 (1.1) gap closed: cross-platform build is now a CI gate
+
+The Go job already ran `go build/vet/test`, but only on the runner's native
+platform. #8's acceptance — "builds CGO_ENABLED=0 on every release target" —
+needed a proof. The `go` job in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` now loops the six
+release targets (`linux/darwin/windows` × `amd64/arm64`) with `CGO_ENABLED=0`
+and fails if any combination does not produce a binary. All six build clean
+today; a future cgo leak or build-tag mistake surfaces in CI, not at release.
+
+### #11 (1.3) gap closed: crash observability is now machine-checked
+
+#11's "crashes surface via health/status" had been argued in prose (warn log +
+in-process fallback) but not proven. The differential oracle now kills the
+sidecar child mid-run and asserts the full observable contract: the forwarder
+deregisters (base URL goes null) and the next `GET /api/system/health`
+answers from the in-process handler with the pid flipped back to the proxy's
+own — an observable change on the exact route the sidecar was serving, with no
+window where health goes unanswered.
+
+### #14 (2.1): typed read/write ownership + single registry-driven branch
+
+Ticket #14's three acceptance criteria, and how each is met:
+
+- **Write routes cannot be marked Go-owned by mistake.** `ManagementRoute` in
+  `src/server/management/route-registry.ts` is now a discriminated union: the
+  write arm (`mutates: true`) has no `go` marker and the read arm
+  (`mutates: false`) carries an optional `GoOwnedRouteDeclaration`. Writing
+  `go:` onto a write route is a compile error. A runtime re-check in
+  `tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts` re-derives the marker set from
+  `MANAGEMENT_ROUTES` and compares it with the exported
+  `GO_OWNED_MANAGEMENT_ROUTES`, so a cast or array-level workaround cannot
+  drift.
+
+- **Migrating a read route is a marker flip, not dispatch edits.** The bespoke
+  health forwarder call is gone from `system-routes.ts`. Dispatch now has ONE
+  branch, at the head of `handleManagementAPI`, that looks the request up in
+  the declared Go-owned surface (`findGoOwnedManagementRoute`) and only then
+  asks the optional-subsystem slot (`go-sidecar-slot.ts`, generalized from a
+  health forwarder to a route forwarder) to relay it. The Go-owned surface is
+  derived DATA (`GO_OWNED_MANAGEMENT_ROUTES`); the branch names no route, and a
+  test pins that `management-api.ts` contains no management-path literal in the
+  forwarding path. The next read route migrates by flipping its marker plus a
+  Go handler plus oracle coverage — no second dispatch edit exists to write.
+
+- **Per-route volatile declarations supported.** Each Go-owned route declares
+  its volatile fields in the registry (`health` declares `["pid","uptime"]`).
+  The differential oracle consumes the declaration instead of a mirrored
+  constant in `go-sidecar.ts`, so the oracle normalises exactly the declared
+  set and a later route cannot silently widen what parity means. The harness
+  also pins that the declared Go-owned surface is exactly health today, so an
+  accidental flip fails loudly.
+
+Fallback semantics are unchanged end to end: forwarder absent (default
+install), returning `null`, or throwing → the in-process handler answers,
+byte-identically to a build without Go. The in-process handler remains the
+differential oracle.
+
+## Files
+
+- `src/server/management/route-registry.ts` — typed read/write ownership,
+  `GO_OWNED_MANAGEMENT_ROUTES`, `findGoOwnedManagementRoute`.
+- `src/server/go-sidecar-slot.ts` — generalized core-owned forwarder slot.
+- `src/server/go-sidecar.ts` — supervisor registers the generic forwarder.
+- `src/server/management-api.ts` — the single forwarding branch.
+- `src/server/management/system-routes.ts` — health back to pure in-process
+  fallback/oracle.
+- `tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts` — new: registry invariants + dispatch
+  behaviour with a fake forwarder (no Go toolchain needed).
+- `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts` — registry-driven normalisation; crash
+  fallback oracle (#11).
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — cross-platform build gate (#8).
+- `go/README.md` — ownership marker contract.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bun run typecheck` green.
+- `tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts` (9 pass), `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`
+  (4 pass, incl. crash fallback), `management-route-registry`, `core-lab-boundary`,
+  `ci-workflows`, `repo-hygiene`, `cli-capabilities`, `route-explainability`,
+  `skill-ocx` all green.
+- `go build ./...` / `go vet ./...` / `go test ./...` green under `go/`;
+  all six release-target cross-compiles succeed with `CGO_ENABLED=0`.
+
+## Next on the path
+
+Spec #2 (increment 2) migrates the read-only management surface in batches:
+system memory, models, providers, usage, quotas, config, catalog. Each batch
+route flips its marker in the registry, gains a Go handler in
+`go/cmd/ocx-sidecar`, and joins the registry-driven oracle. The plumbing to do
+that without re-proving the seam is what ticket #14 established.

+
+## What this run delivered
+
+The first seven tickets were code-complete on `dev-go` (commits `4b8715a30` …
+`148a51c6d`, recorded in `000_plan.md`, `010_lab_migrate_vs_cut_decision.md`, and
+`020_ownership_plumbing.md`) but had never been **resolved** in the issue
+tracker, so the frontier query kept returning them as available work. This run
+re-ran every machine gate that backs them — `go build ./...` / `go vet ./...` /
+`go test ./...` under `go/`, the six-target `CGO_ENABLED=0` cross-compile matrix,
+the differential oracle, the ownership-plumbing suite, the route-registry
+reconciliation, and `bun run typecheck` — and closed issues #8–#14 in dependency
+order, each with a comment citing the tree evidence and this doc.
+
+Closing them exposes the true frontier: #15, #16, #17, #18, and #19 are now all
+unblocked (each lists only #14 and/or #9 as a blocker). Auditing those tickets
+against the actual handlers found a gate the batch texts do not state:
+
+> **A management route can be Go-served byte-identically only when its body is a
+> pure function of state the sidecar process can see** — the environment it was
+> spawned with, on-disk files, the OS, or its own process. Routes whose bodies
+> report the *TypeScript process's* live state (in-memory maps and caches,
+> `bun:jsc` introspection, module-level counters, memoized discovery) cannot be
+> reproduced by a separate sidecar process before the flip, no matter how
+> faithfully their handlers are ported.
+
+The health route migrated in #14 precisely because it sits at the portable end
+of that spectrum (env + the sidecar's own process, two declared volatile
+fields). Several routes in the next batches sit at the opposite end.
+
+## State-source classification
+
+Each candidate read route should be classified by where its body comes from
+before batch work starts:
+
+- **env/on-disk (portable today)** — config-file content merged with the
+  version the supervisor passed at spawn. Both processes can read it; this is
+  the class the ownership marker was built for.
+- **OS-level (portable with care)** — process enumeration, platform probes. Go
+  can reproduce these, but the matching semantics must be proven byte-exact
+  against the live TS oracle.
+- **TS-process live state (NOT portable pre-flip)** — in-memory session and
+  replay tables, runtime introspection, module counters, memoized discovery,
+  drain/lifecycle state. A sidecar physically cannot return these values.
+
+### Ticket #15 (system reads) — per-route verdicts
+
+| route | handler | source | Go-servable pre-flip? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `GET /api/system/health` | `system-routes.ts` (Go-owned since #14) | env + own process | yes — the #14 precedent |
+| `GET /api/system/memory` | `system-routes.ts` | TS-process live: `process.memoryUsage`, `bun:jsc` heapStats, `responseStateMetrics`, memory-watchdog snapshot, relay inspection counters, active-turn/drain counters | no |
+| `GET /api/system/windows-replace-retries` | `src/lib/windows-atomic-replace.ts` (`counters` module map) | TS-process live | no |
+| `GET /api/system/codex-app-server` | `src/codex/app-server-restart-service.ts` `readCodexAppServerState` | OS process catalog | yes in principle; catalog-matching parity must be proven |
+
+So #15 as written — "system read routes are Go-owned and byte-identical" —
+cannot be closed while the TS server owns the process state: two of its three
+unmigrated routes report TS-process introspection with no on-disk counterpart.
+Only `codex-app-server` is plausibly portable, and one route does not close a
+three-route ticket.
+
+### Ticket #16 (config reads) — mixed, and the pure core is the prize
+
+The config-core read bodies are disk-derived, but the GET handlers mix in live
+process work:
+
+- `GET /api/settings` returns a disk-derived core (`port`, `hostname`,
+  `streamMode`, memory budget, toggles) **plus** `codexRuntime`, resolved by
+  `resolveCodexRuntime()` — memoized in-process discovery that locates and
+  versions the installed Codex binaries (`config-routes.ts`) — **plus** cached
+  `startupHealth` and the serving process's browser `timeZone`.
+- `GET /api/startup-health` serves a cache invalidated by install actions.
+- `GET /api/diagnostics/project-config` serves `getCachedProjectConfigDiagnostics`
+  — a scan cache populated by process work.
+- `GET /api/update/check` / `GET /api/update/status` consult the update job
+  module (`src/update/job.ts`), which is process state.
+- `GET /api/sidecar-settings` mixes config with candidate-row/model resolution.
+
+The valuable and genuinely portable artifact here is the **disk-derived core** —
+one shared Go config-parsing implementation that turns the same on-disk config
+into the same DTO bytes (#16's second acceptance criterion, and the dependency
+#20/#21/#24/#35 all list). Route-level parity for the live fields needs a
+per-field owner decision in the style of health's `volatileFields`: declare the
+field volatile, forward a parent snapshot, or defer the whole route to the flip.
+
+### Ticket #18 (auth/session) — the session half is not portable
+
+- **Admin token**: file/env → portable; Go can read the same
+  `OPENCODEX_HOME/admin-api-token` or `OPENCODEX_ADMIN_AUTH_TOKEN`.
+- **Dashboard session**: `ManagementAuthState.sessions` is an **in-memory
+  `Map`** in the TS process (`src/server/management-auth.ts`,
+  `src/server/gui-session.ts`). Sessions are opaque tokens into that map — there
+  is no stateless signed cookie a second process could verify.
+- **Local capability principals**: HMACs over the process pid/port/attestation
+  secret, plus **in-process replay tables** (`consumedLocalReadCapabilities`,
+  the `admitted*Requests` weak sets) that live and die with the TS process.
+
+So #18's "Go validates the dashboard session; under-privileged requests are
+rejected identically" cannot be proven while the session table and replay caches
+exist only in the TS process. What is missing is a **principal-relay contract**:
+the front door already admits the request; for Go to re-validate rather than
+trust the hop blindly (spec #3), the front door must hand the sidecar an
+assertion of the admitted principal that Go can verify against a shared secret.
+That contract has no ticket yet and no consumer until a mutating route actually
+migrates — it should be specified as part of the write-surface work, not before.
+
+### Ticket #19 (Lab gate) — premature
+
+The Go codebase contains no Lab subsystem yet, so a Go activation gate would
+gate nothing until the Lab routes port (#33). #9's migrate-vs-cut decision is
+recorded as **migrate** (`010_lab_migrate_vs_cut_decision.md`); the natural
+reading is that the Go gate + provider-slot seam are built *as part of* the Lab
+increment so the seam has something to activate. #19's acceptance wording ("an
+opt-in activation gate exists in Go") is satisfiable only vacuously today.
+
+## Consequence and recommended order
+
+The next batch implementer should not take "every read route Go-owned and
+byte-identical" as a literal instruction: several routes report process state
+that a sidecar cannot know. Concretely:
+
+1. **Port #16's pure config-core first.** A shared Go config-parsing package is
+   the load-bearing artifact the rest of the program lists as a dependency.
+   Prove it byte-identical on the disk-derived subset of config read bodies and
+   resolve each live field (`codexRuntime`, `startupHealth`, updater state) by
+   one of the three per-field options above, recorded where the health route's
+   `volatileFields` live.
+2. **Before #15, get an owner decision on the process-derived system routes.**
+   `memory` and `windows-replace-retries` cannot be Go-served pre-flip; the
+   registry's `exempt` mechanism already models a documented deferral, and a
+   defer-to-flip exemption is more honest than a sidecar inventing values.
+3. **Specify the principal-relay contract before #18.** It becomes real work
+   only when a mutating route is being ported.
+4. **Fold #19 into the Lab increment (#33)** so the gate has something to gate.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go test ./...` green under `go/`.
+- Six-target cross-compile matrix (`linux/darwin/windows` × `amd64/arm64`,
+  `CGO_ENABLED=0`) produces all six binaries (#8 acceptance).
+- `bun test tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`: 4 pass — byte parity with the

+- `bun test tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts tests/management-route-registry.test.ts
+  tests/ci-workflows.test.ts tests/repo-hygiene.test.ts`: 170 pass (#12/#13/#14).

+# 031 — Ticket #16 first vertical slice: shared Go config parsing + strict shadow-call-settings parity
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: recorded on `dev-go`; ticket #16 OPEN (1 of 9 config read routes migrated)
+Tickets: [#16](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/16) (config read routes batch, spec #2)
+Parent spec: [#2](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/2) (increment 2)
+Owner decision (2026-09-06): implement #16 next, per the ordering recommended in
+`030_read_surface_state_source_gate.md` — port the pure config core first and
+resolve live-field routes per-field.
+
+## What this run delivered
+
+The first vertical slice of #16, proven end to end through the differential
+oracle: a shared Go config reader, one config read route served byte-identically
+from it, and the registry/oracle semantics that make "this route has no volatile
+field" a real, checkable contract.
+
+- **`go/internal/config`** — the shared Go config parser (the artifact #20/#21/
+  #24/#35 all list as a dependency). It reads the operator's `config.json` from
+  the same place the TypeScript runtime reads it (`OPENCODEX_HOME`, defaulting
+  to `~/.opencodex`), decodes numbers with `json.Number` so a value echoed into
+  a response keeps its on-disk literal, and never rewrites or moves the file. It
+  mirrors only the TS-side normalisation the Go-owned route bodies depend on,
+  and keeps the raw decoded document (`Raw`) so later routes can project from
+  it without a full schema port.
+- **`GET /api/shadow-call-settings` is now Go-owned** — a marker flip in
+  `route-registry.ts` plus a Go handler in `go/internal/sidecar` that projects
+  the `shadowCallIntercept` section through the exact TS rules
+  (`sci.enabled === true`, `sci.model ?? ""`, `shadowSourceModels` trim /
+  non-empty / default filtering, default `["gpt-5.6-luna"]`). The in-process TS
+  handler remains the fallback and the differential oracle.
+- **Strict-byte ownership semantics.** The `go.volatileFields` marker may now be
+  EMPTY: that declares a route whose body is a pure function of shared state
+  and must be byte-identical with NO normalisation — the strongest contract the
+  oracle can impose, not a vacuous one (the raw wire bodies are compared). The
+  previous "must be non-empty" rule had it backwards: it only ever made sense
+  for routes that legitimately report the serving process's own values. The
+  interface doc, `go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts`, the parity oracle, and
+  `go/README.md` all state the new contract.
+
+## Why this route first
+
+Of #16's nine config read routes, this is the only one whose body is a pure
+function of the on-disk config with no live-process dependency — the smallest
+byte-parity target that exercises the whole seam (config file → Go parser →
+Go handler → registry flip → oracle row). Empirical check first: a probe
+through `saveConfig`/`loadConfig` confirmed `shadowCallIntercept` round-trips
+unnormalised (values verbatim, empty strings kept), so TS in-memory == file
+content for this section and byte parity is well-defined.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go test ./...` green under `go/`
+  (new `internal/config` package: 8 tests; `internal/sidecar`: 10 tests incl.
+  shape/order, defaults, coercions, narrow surface).
+- `bun test tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`: 6 pass — health volatile parity,
+  missing-binary no-op, crash fallback, PLUS two new strict cases:
+  shadow-call-settings default body and configured body are byte-identical
+  with no normalisation, and the front door relays the Go bytes unaltered.
+- `bun test tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts tests/management-route-registry.test.ts
+  tests/repo-hygiene.test.ts tests/ci-workflows.test.ts tests/cli-capabilities.test.ts
+  tests/route-explainability.test.ts`: 199 pass.
+- `bun run typecheck` green.
+
+## Per-route status of #16 (config read routes, 1 of 9 migrated)
+
+| route | body source | status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/api/shadow-call-settings` | pure config | **Go-owned, strict parity** |
+| `/api/config` | pure fn of config, but a LARGE projection | next sub-increment: provider redaction policy (`providerEditorConfigDTO`), registry notes, xai opt-in, cost-overlay sanitisation, service-tier projection, key order |
+| `/api/settings` | disk core + live fields | mixed: `codexRuntime` (memoized discovery), cached `startupHealth`, process `timeZone` — port the disk core; live fields need the per-field owner decision |
+| `/api/sidecar-settings` | config core + candidate/model helpers | classify the helpers when attempted |
+| `/api/startup-health` | in-process cache (install/repair actions) | defer — no on-disk counterpart |
+| `/api/diagnostics/project-config` | in-process scan cache | defer — no on-disk counterpart |
+| `/api/update/check` / `/api/update/status` | updater job module state | defer |
+| `/api/windows-tray` | platform probe / static platform string | OS-level; low value; defer |
+
+The `/api/settings` and `/api/config` disk-derived cores are the two large
+sub-increments left before #16's write of shared parsing is exercised broadly;
+the cache/process routes stay TypeScript-owned until the flip, consistent with
+`030_read_surface_state_source_gate.md`. Ticket #16 remains open.
+

+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: recorded on `dev-go`; #16 and #17 advanced by one strict route each; #15 triaged to completion
+Tickets:
+- [#15](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/15) (system read routes batch, spec #2)
+- [#16](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/16) (config read routes batch, spec #2)

+Gate: `030_read_surface_state_source_gate.md` — a route is pre-flip
+Go-servable byte-identically only when its body is a pure function of state the
+sidecar can see (env / on-disk / OS / its own process). Everything else defers
+to the flip, when the Go binary IS the serving process and legitimately owns
+process state.
+
+Owner decision (2026-09-05/06): implement #15/#16/#17 under that framework;
+deferral decisions are made and recorded here rather than re-escalated.
+
+## Why most of these routes cannot move pre-flip
+
+The in-process TS handler bodies reflect the SERVING proxy's live state:
+discovery caches, update jobs, effort clamps, runtime probing, Windows tray
+actions, project-config scan caches. A sidecar is a separate process; it cannot
+see another process's memory, and inventing a snapshot would re-create the
+dev2-go divergence class (Go values rendered under TS labels). The batches'
+tickets were written when the takeover was imagined as mechanical route
+copying; the state-source gate is the discovery that it is not. Migrating the
+pure residue now and recording the deferrals is the owner-approved pre-flip
+completion of each batch. Deferred routes migrate with the binary at the flip
+(themselves Go-served, so process state becomes legitimate) under #25/#40/#41.
+
+## Migrated in this run (machine-proven via the differential oracle)
+
+- **`GET /api/custom-models` → Go-owned, STRICT** (ticket #17). The TS body is
+  `JSON.stringify(config.customModels ?? [])` — a raw echo of a zod-passthrough
+  config subsection (probed: unknown keys, per-entry key order and non-schema
+  values all survive a save/load round trip). Byte parity therefore needs
+  document-order JSON, not a typed projection. Added an ordered decoder +
+  JSON.stringify-compatible marshaler to the shared Go config package
+  (`go/internal/config/ordered.go`): object keys in file order, compact
+  whitespace, no HTML or U+2028/U+2029 escaping, the five control-char
+  shortcuts, lowercase `\u00xx` below U+0020 — all pinned against Bun. This is
+  also the foundation the `/api/config` provider-DTO port will need (provider
+  entries keep their file order). Marker: strict (`volatileFields: []`), the
+  oracle compares raw bytes.
+- (Earlier slices already closed in: #14 delivered `/api/system/health`;
+  devlog 031 delivered `GET /api/shadow-call-settings` for #16.)
+
+## Per-route verdicts
+
+### #15 — system reads (`src/server/management/system-routes.ts`)
+
+| Route | Verdict | Reason (citation) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /api/system/health` | **Go-owned** (#14, volatile pid/uptime) | own process values |
+| `GET /api/system/memory` | defer to flip | body mixes OS memory with TS-runtime-owned keys: `bunVersion`, `jscHeap`, `responseState` etc. — the serving process's runtime internals, not reproducible by a sidecar. Flip: Go owns the process, keys become its own. |
+| `GET /api/system/windows-replace-retries` | defer to flip | process-local retry counter (windows binary replacement state machine). |
+| `GET /api/codex-app-server` | defer to flip | reports on ~1260 lines of app-server process management (`src/codex/app-server-processes.ts`): OS process enumeration + cached state + platform heuristics. Reimplementing the machinery for byte parity pre-flip is flip-scale work, not batch work. |
+
+### #16 — config reads (`src/server/management/config-routes.ts`)
+
+| Route | Verdict | Reason (citation) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /api/shadow-call-settings` | **Go-owned, strict** (devlog 031) | pure function of config subsection |
+| `GET /api/config` | defer (registry data) | body = `withProviderServiceTierDTO(safeConfigDTO(config))`; the DTO projects per-provider registry notes, `codexAccountMode`, service-tier records, redaction policy and xai opt-in state from the TS provider registry's static per-provider data. A partial port would be silently wrong for real providers (openai, anthropic, …) — the exact dev2-go defect class. Needs the registry subset ported as shared data first; ordered JSON from this run is the substrate. |
+| `GET /api/settings` | defer (live fields mixed into one body) | config-derived keys coexist in one object with `resolveCodexRuntime()` (memoized active-binary probing), `readStartupHealth(config)` (cached install-state probes) and `Intl…timeZone` (process zone). Can't split a single response object; not reproducible by a sidecar. |
+| `GET /api/sidecar-settings` | defer (model-capability registry + candidate tables) | body = vision/web-search candidate rows from `findAnthropicVisionProvider` / `resolveVisionBackend` / `visionModelOptionsFor` / `webSearchCandidateRows` — provider model-capability registry + picker tables with live reachability checks (config-routes.ts:109, web-search-sidecar-options.ts:43). #17-scale registry port. |
+| `GET /api/startup-health` | defer (cached install-state probe) | `readStartupHealth(config)` reads process-level cached install/service state (`invalidateStartupHealthCache` after actions). |
+| `GET /api/diagnostics/project-config` | defer (process scan cache) | `getCachedProjectConfigDiagnostics()` — lazy scan cache in `src/codex/project-config-warnings.ts`; reimplementing scan+cache semantics is flip-scale. |
+| `GET /api/update/check` | defer (updater state) | `checkForUpdate()` module state (update/job.ts). |
+| `GET /api/update/status` | defer (job table + query param) | `readUpdateJob(jobId)` — in-memory job table; absent job id → 404 handled in-process. |
+| `GET /api/windows-tray` | defer (platform probe) | non-win32 static body carries `process.platform`; win32 runs tray-action status probes. Cross-platform probe semantics, not a config read. |
+
+### #17 — model/provider/catalog reads (`model-routes.ts`, `provider-routes.ts`)
+
+| Route | Verdict | Reason (citation) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /api/custom-models` | **Go-owned, strict** (this run) | raw config echo (see above) |
+| `GET /api/models` | defer (live catalog) | `listManagementModelRows(config)` over the converged live catalog (fetchAllModels family). #17's own acceptance says "catalog reads reflect live state" — that lives with the catalog store at the flip. |
+| `GET /api/catalog` | defer (persisted-catalog serializer) | `serializePersistedCatalog()` from `src/server/catalog-download.ts` — a large deterministic serializer over the Codex-converged catalog; port is flip-scale model-store work, plus corsHeaders sharing. |
+| `GET /api/client-config` | defer (catalog rows) | rows over the converged catalog. |
+| `GET /api/model-discovery` | **Go-owned, strict** | pure persisted config projection: policy, per-provider overrides, stored arrival/baseline rows, and `disabledModels`-derived state; no catalog/cache lookup. |
+| `GET /api/selected-models` / `/api/model-presets` | defer (live catalog + discovery) | `getProviderLiveModelCount`, `materializeModelPreset` over the live catalog. |
+| `GET /api/aliases` | defer (live /models cache) | `knownModelIdsForProvider` unions in `getStaleCached(provName)` (router.ts:99) — the last-known-good live /models cache; catalog drift handling (`builtinRule`) is registry-side. |
+| `GET /api/providers` | defer (live keys in one body) | config-derived keys share one object with live `discovery` status and openai entitlement state. |
+| `GET /api/provider-context-caps` | defer (in-memory caps module) | live context-capability state. |
+| `GET /api/provider-presets` | defer (derive-provider-presets static table) | registry-derived preset table (`src/providers/derive.ts`) — static data port, moderate; folded into the registry-subset work that unblocks /api/config. |
+| `GET /api/provider-request-pacing` | defer (live pacers) | `providerRequestPacingStatus` reads the module-level `pacers` map: queue depths, next-slot timestamps, last-start (src/providers/request-pacing.ts). `enabled` is config but is one key in a live body. |
+| `GET /api/provider-quotas` | defer | live quota/usage cache (usage-quota surface, #20 family). |
+
+## Registry and oracle state after this run
+
+Four read routes are Go-owned: `/api/system/health` (volatile pid/uptime),
+`/api/shadow-call-settings`, `/api/custom-models`, and `/api/model-discovery` (strict). The strict
+trio exercises the empty-volatile contract against real wire bytes. Nothing in
+`management-api.ts` names a route (pinned by test 7 of
+`tests/go-ownership-plumbing.test.ts`); adding the next route stays a marker
+flip + Go handler + oracle cases.
+
+## What unblocks the deferred reads at the flip
+
+- Registry static data as shared Go data (provider notes, codexAccountMode,
+  presets, alias rules) → then `/api/config`, `/api/provider-presets`,
+  `/api/aliases`' registry half.
+- The live model store/catalog moves into the Go binary with the takeover
+  (#25 + the #40/#41 flip line) → `/api/models`, `/api/catalog`, discovery
+  views, sidecar-settings candidates become the binary's own state.

+# 033 — Tickets #18/#19: Go management auth model + Lab activation gate/seam
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: implemented on `dev-go`
+Tickets:
+- [#18](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/18) (spec #3: Go management auth/session model)
+- [#19](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/19) (spec #6: Lab activation gate + provider-slot in Go)
+Owner decision (2026-09-05/06): implement both under the state-source gate (devlog 030); deferral decisions are made and recorded here, not re-escalated.
+
+## What these tickets are (and are not)
+
+Both are **substrate** tickets for later batches, not route flips. The TS front
+door still admits every `/api/*` request before dispatch
+(`src/server/index.ts` → `requireManagementAuth`), so a Go-owned route never
+sees an unauthenticated request pre-flip, and the Go binary runs no Lab code.
+The deliverables are the Go-side decision logic, the seams it registers into,
+and machine proof that both answer identically to TypeScript — the write
+batches (#21–#23) and the authorization gate (#26) consume #18 when they serve
+writes, and #33 + the flip consume #19. Nothing here changes live behavior; a
+default install is byte-identical to a build without these packages.
+
+## #18 — Go management auth/session model
+
+`go/internal/managementauth` reproduces the admission decision of
+`src/server/management-auth.ts` + `src/lib/*-contract.ts` +
+`src/server/gui-session.ts`:
+
+- **Admin token**: credential extraction (x-opencodex-api-key /
+  Authorization Bearer), timing-safe equality, env/file token resolution
+  (file shape `ocx_admin_[43]`, ≤512 bytes, no creation/ACL mutation — the
+  sidecar must not touch the parent's secret file).
+- **Dashboard session**: `AuthorizeSession` mirroring
+  `authorizeGuiSessionRequest` — expiry deletion, server-origin comparison
+  through a port of `managementRequestOrigin` (loopback observed origin,
+  non-loopback requires api auth, hub public-origin override, WHATWG origin
+  serialisation incl. default-port dropping), browser-origin/CSRF rules for
+  safe vs. unsafe methods, remote-session sliding.
+- **Capability principals**: all four process-scoped HMAC contracts
+  (system-restart, local-provider-reload, local-read, gui-pair) plus the
+  attestation proof, with exact payload strings, base64url-256 shapes,
+  allowlists, TTL windows, and the consumed-capability replay stores (256
+  limit, gui-pair keyed by sha256 digest).
+- **Gate**: principal ordering (capabilities → token → session) and the exact
+  rejection responses — 401 `{"error":"opencodex admin token required"}` and
+  503 with reason + hint — as raw JSON bodies.
+
+State-source notes: the capability checks are pure functions of injectable
+inputs; the token is env/disk state; the session table is owned by the serving
+process (minted in-memory) so Go validation carries the table it is given and
+mutates it the same way (expiry delete, sliding). Live enforcement lands with
+the write batches / authorization gate; pre-flip this is proven substrate.
+
+## #19 — Lab activation gate + provider-slot seam
+
+- `go/internal/labactivation` reproduces `labActivationRequired` and
+  `labAutomationEnabledOnDisk`: routing profiles non-empty in config.json, or
+  automation enabled under `<configDir>/lab/automation-config.json`
+  (`policy.enabled`, authority over the legacy `automation-policy.json`,
+  which is consulted only when the combined file is absent or carries no
+  policy object). The gate reads the same on-disk files the TS side reads.
+- `go/internal/routing/compatibility` reproduces the core-owned
+  `provider-slot.ts` seam: a nullable evidence-provider reference with
+  set/resolve/detach-own-registration semantics. Typed opaquely until the Go
+  routing port; `labactivation.Activate` reproduces the composition-root
+  contract — required → register, not required → slot stays nil — proven with
+  stub providers (the real Lab evidence provider arrives with #33).
+
+## Proof
+
+- Go unit tests: `managementauth` (capability round trips incl. cross-mint
+  refusal, origin derivation, gate ordering, replay rejection, session
+  outcomes, token-file loader) and `labactivation` (gate fixtures, activation
+  registers only when required).
+- **Differential oracle** `tests/go-auth-parity.test.ts`: the same ordered
+  vector arrays through `src/server/management-auth.ts` (in-process) and the
+  new `ocx-sidecar authcheck` subcommand (one Go Gate per array, so replay
+  stores persist across vectors like the TS module-level maps) — decisions
+  compared byte-for-byte: principal or exact status+body, plus the session
+  admission reason when probed. 7 suites, every principal + rejection path.
+- **Differential oracle** `tests/go-lab-gate-parity.test.ts`: ten fixture
+  directories through `ocx-sidecar labcheck` and `src/lib/lab-activation.ts`
+  (Go reads the pristine fixture first, because the TS loader can repair a
+  config file in place) — automationEnabled/profilesNonEmpty/required equal.
+- Gates: `go build/vet/test ./...` green; focused suites green.
+
+## Wire contract additions (ocx-sidecar)
+
+`ocx-sidecar authcheck <json>` and `ocx-sidecar labcheck <configDir>` are
+differential-oracle subcommands, inert on the live path (the supervisor never
+passes an argument). The authcheck JSON carries request/state/config/local per
+vector; one Go process per array mirrors one serving process.
+
+## Residuals (recorded, not hidden)
+
+- #18's session *issuance*/pairing machinery (mint, grants, rate limits) is
+  not ported — validation is the ticket's acceptance; issuance is session-route
+  work at the write batch. #18's Go gate becomes live when Go serves management
+  requests without the TS front door (#21–#23 differential writes, #26
+  authorization gate, flip).
+- #19's real Lab evidence provider registration is #33's job; until then the
+  seam and gate are proven with stubs and no Go package imports Lab content.
+- #26 remains the gate that makes "auth rejection paths match TypeScript" a
+  whole-surface property.

+# 034 — Ticket #24: hot-path seam + streaming differential harness
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: implemented on `fix/ticket-24-hotpath-seam` (dev-go + 2)
+Ticket: [#24](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/24) (spec #4: hot-path seam + streaming differential harness)
+Blocked-by (#13/#16): closed — differential-oracle infrastructure and shared Go config parsing landed on `dev-go`.
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+#24 is the **substrate** ticket of the hot-path increment (#4), exactly as #13
+was the substrate of the management read surface. It must NOT relay any real
+provider traffic: the single-provider non-streaming relay (#27) and the SSE
+streaming relay with frame parity (#29) are blocked *by* this ticket and own
+that work. #24 therefore ships two things and nothing more:
+
+1. A declared **hot-path seam** in the sidecar that a later ticket replaces
+   provider-side without touching the front door again.
+2. A **streaming differential harness** that compares ordered SSE frame
+   sequences across two live servers and normalises only declared volatile
+   fields.
+
+## Design decisions
+
+### 1. The seam is the same ownership pattern as the management surface, on the data plane
+
+- `src/server/hot-path-seam.ts` holds the DATA (one declared seam route:
+  `POST /v1/responses`), the independent activation gate
+  (`OPENCODEX_GO_HOTPATH_SEAM`), and a core-owned forwarder slot shaped like
+  `go-sidecar-slot.ts`. The route registry for the data plane is deliberately a
+  separate module from `management/route-registry.ts`: #4 user story 10 gates
+  the hot path separately from the management surface, and the management
+  registry's types (`mutates`, session exemptions) do not apply to `/v1/*`.
+- `go-sidecar.ts` registers the hot-path forwarder at activation only when the
+  seam env is set — same ready-line handoff, same child-exit deregistration.
+  A sidecar attached without the seam env forwards nothing and `/v1/responses`
+  stays 100% in-process: the management surface can keep being migrated while
+  the data plane is untouched, and vice versa (independent rollback, #4 story 13).
+- Default install: no sidecar, no seam env → zero behaviour change, and the
+  seam modules sit behind the same optional-subsystem rule as the Lab.
+
+### 2. The sidecar's hot-path seam serves `/v1/responses` from the TS oracle until a provider relay lands
+
+The seam handler in the sidecar (`go/internal/sidecar`) owns the *public
+surface*: it authenticates the parent forward (request token), bounds the body,
+and streams the response back. Its upstream today is a **private parent bridge**
+(`/__ocx_go_sidecar/responses`) that runs the real in-process
+`handleResponses` pipeline — byte-identical to a direct request because it IS
+the same pipeline. #27/#29 replace the bridge as the seam's source per provider
+without touching the front-door gate, the ownership data, or the harness.
+
+Streaming contract: status code, `content-type` and the body are relayed
+byte-for-byte in stream order. The Go side must never buffer or re-frame the
+stream: the harness's whole point is that a dropped, reordered or duplicated
+SSE frame fails the differential.
+
+### 3. The bridge is authenticated with a body-bound parent claim, not client credentials
+
+The front door resolves data-plane admission before the seam gate (same
+`resolveResponsesApiAuth` as the direct branch). The client credential never
+crosses the process boundary; instead the front door mints a short-lived HMAC
+claim over `admission | method | path | expiry | sha256(body)` using the same
+per-activation write-relay secret already inherited by the sidecar, and the
+bridge verifies it with a bounded replay store. The threat model is the
+established sidecar one: a local process that can read the sidecar's environment
+is already as privileged as the proxy process itself.
+
+### 4. Direct branch stays the oracle
+
+Server A (no sidecar) and Server B (sidecar + seam env) both talk to the same
+deterministic fixture upstream. The harness captures the client-visible SSE
+frame sequence from each and asserts ordered identity after applying the
+declared volatile set — for the first fixture, an explicit empty set (raw byte
+identity), with per-request JSON paths added only if a live run proves them
+legitimately request-scoped.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+- The bridge endpoint verifies the bridge token AND the parent claim; it never
+  accepts an admin token or a client API key as a substitute (mirrors the
+  `provider-quotas` and write-relay bridge endpoints).
+- The sidecar seam route answers 404 unless the parent request token is
+  present: the sidecar never invents a public data-plane listener of its own.
+- No client credential, cookie, or browser header is forwarded past the front
+  door in either direction.
+
+## Proof
+
+- Go unit tests: seam route auth, body bound, bridge URL validation, streaming
+  passthrough of a synthetic fixture stream.
+- `tests/go-hotpath-seam.test.ts`: differential oracle across two real servers
+  (skip-if-no-Go, same guard as `go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`), comparing ordered
+  SSE frames; a mutated fixture frame must fail.
+- Existing suites stay green; `privacy:scan` stays green.
+
+## Delivery notes (filled in at close)
+
+Delivered on `fix/ticket-24-hotpath-seam` (two commits on top of `dev-go`):
+
+- `src/server/hot-path-seam.ts` — seam data (route + env gate + bridge path),
+  the body-bound parent claim (mint at the front door, verify at the bridge,
+  bounded one-use nonce table), and the private bridge object. The Go sidecar
+  never sees a client credential; it relays the claim verbatim.
+- `go/internal/sidecar/hotpath.go` (+ tests) — the sidecar owns
+  `POST /v1/responses`: parent-token 404 gate, 256MB body bound, bridge URL
+  loopback validation, and byte-for-byte chunked stream relay with per-chunk
+  flush (frame order preserved by construction).
+- `src/server/index.ts` — bridge endpoint (404 when the seam env is off), the
+  front-door seam gate inside the existing `/v1/responses` turn (default off;
+  no in-process fallback after the body read, so a dead seam is a retryable
+  502, never a double-executed model call), and activation wiring.
+- `src/server/go-sidecar.ts` — data-plane seam attachment state and the
+  seam forward hop, armed whenever the sidecar is attached and gated per
+  request by the env, so flipping the env at runtime is honoured.
+- `tests/go-hotpath-seam.test.ts` — the streaming differential: two live
+  servers (in-process oracle vs seam) against one deterministic fixture
+  upstream must agree on the ordered SSE frame sequence. Declared volatile
+  set: the per-request trace header, `Date`, and the server CORS origin echo;
+  the body volatile set is EMPTY (raw frame identity).
+- `tests/hot-path-seam.test.ts` — claim/bridge unit coverage incl. replay,
+  expiry, body-bound proof, oversized body, admission round-trip.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+- [x] Hot-path seam exists in the sidecar (Go-owned `POST /v1/responses`
+      surface with a replaceable bridge source for #27/#29).
+- [x] Streaming differential compares ordered frame sequences (frame
+      extractor + two-server oracle; reorder/drop classes proven non-vacuous).
+- [x] Only declared volatile fields normalised (empty body volatile set;
+      declared header volatile set; the harness asserts the declaration).
+
+Verification: `go build/vet/test ./...`, `bun run typecheck`,
+`privacy:scan`, and the four focused suites above are green. The repository
+wide suite was attempted but stalled in this container on unrelated
+OAuth/provider-management flakes (all six affected files pass standalone on
+both this branch and `dev-go`); no seam-related file failed.

+# 035 — Ticket #26: write-surface full parity + authorization gate
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: implemented on `dev-go` at `05f1e9632` (merge `e4d684d11` + `05f1e9632` on top of #25 config test `befb594d2`)
+Ticket: [#26](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/26) (spec #3 capstone: "Write-surface full parity + authorization gate")
+Parent spec: [#3](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/3) (increment 3: write surface)
+Blocked-by (#21/#22/#23): closed on `dev-go` — `eb4292e8f` relays the three
+write batches through the sidecar. Read-side mirror: [#25](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/25)
+(full read-surface parity gate), in flight in a sibling worktree.
+
+Owner decision (2026-09-06): implement #26 as the **write-side parity gate**
+under the state-source framework (devlog 030/032) — same shape the read
+surface used. Three machine-checked deliverables:
+
+1. Every mutating route carries an explicit ownership verdict — Go-owned,
+   exempted, or deferred with a recorded reason. No silent plain route.
+2. Every declared Go-owned write route has a state-reset differential oracle
+   case (response AND post-state, failure modes included).
+3. Auth rejection parity as a whole-surface property: every declared Go-owned
+   write route is exercised without and with insufficient credentials/capability,
+   rejecting byte-identically to TypeScript.
+
+Making the Go `managementauth` gate *live* on the public write path (sidecar
+answers requests without the TS front door) is deliberately **not** part of
+#26: the sidecar never receives a browser session or admin token
+(`go/internal/managementauth/write_relay.go`, devlog 033), and the flip (#41)
+is where the Go binary becomes the serving process and owns that state. #26
+proves the decision substrate now so the flip can consume it wholesale.
+
+## Current write-surface state (HEAD `eb4292e8f`)
+
+- **Registry** (`src/server/management/route-registry.ts`): 122 mutating
+  routes total. 12 are declared Go-owned with `go: { relay: "signed",
+  volatileFields: [] }`; 18 carry an `exempt` verdict (CLI-parity vocabulary,
+  enforced honest by `tests/management-route-registry.test.ts`); **92 carry
+  neither** — the "silent plain" set this ticket eliminates.
+- **Wire shape**: the TS front door (`src/server/index.ts` →
+  `requireManagementAuth`) still admits every `/api/*` request and resolves a
+  principal; the Go-owned write branch (`management-api.ts` →
+  `tryForwardDeclaredGoOwnedRoute`) mints a body-bound, one-use HMAC relay
+  claim (nonce/principal/method/path/sha256(body)/expiry, TTL 30 s, replay 256,
+  body cap 2 MiB); the sidecar public route verifies the parent request token +
+  claim (`go/internal/sidecar.go` `relayPublicWrite`), then forwards to the
+  private parent bridge `/__ocx_go_sidecar/write`
+  (`src/server/go-sidecar-write-relay.ts`), which re-verifies and dispatches
+  the **legacy TS handler** — TS remains the mutation oracle until native
+  mutations land, exactly like the #24 hot-path seam.
+- **`managementauth` gate** (`go/internal/managementauth/`): substrate proven
+  by the `authcheck` differential oracle (`tests/go-auth-parity.test.ts`); it
+  never runs live pre-flip. `relayPublicWrite` rejects an invalid/absent claim
+  with a sidecar-shaped 401/404, which the front door makes unreachable from a
+  public client (the front door rejects first).
+- **Coverage today** (`tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`): state-reset
+  differential cases exist for the shadow-call write, settings write,
+  sidecar-settings write, and a quota/account-pool vector — not for all 12
+  declared write routes, and no under-privileged write vectors at all.
+
+## What #26 is (and is not)
+
+#26 is the write-side capstone of spec #3: the machine property that the
+*migrated* write surface is complete (no route can become Go-owned while its
+authorization is unproven — spec #3 story 4), differentially proven per route,
+and guarded by an authorization gate that answers identically to TypeScript.
+It does **not** migrate new routes: the batches (#21/#22/#23) own which routes
+move. It does **not** make the Go gate live: the flip (#41) owns that. It
+makes both future steps safe to consume — the flip can serve the write surface
+knowing every route already has a verdict, a differential, and proven
+rejection parity.
+
+Acceptance criteria → deliverable map:
+
+| Acceptance | Deliverable | Seam |
+|---|---|---|
+| Every write route Go-owned | A write-ownership ledger making every mutating route's verdict explicit (Go-owned / exempt / deferred-with-reason), machine-checked against `MANAGEMENT_ROUTES` so no silent plain route survives a registry edit | 1 (registry/ledger) |
+| State-reset differentials green for the write surface | One state-reset oracle case per declared Go-owned write route (the 12), response + post-state + a failure-mode leg where one exists | 2 (differential oracle) |
+| Auth rejection paths match TypeScript | Every declared Go-owned write route exercised without and with insufficient credentials/capability through both TS in-process and the Go decision substrate; rejections byte-identical | 3 (authorization oracle) |
+
+## Seam 1 — the write-ownership ledger (verdict completeness)
+
+Where the read surface recorded per-route deferrals only in devlog 032, the
+write surface needs the same decision **machine-checked**, because a write
+route that silently lacks a verdict is exactly how a mutation could bypass its
+guard later (spec #3 story 4: "a write route must never be Go-owned before its
+authorization is proven" — the ledger makes the inverse visible too: a route
+with no verdict cannot be argued about).
+
+Design: a pure-data ledger in a NEW module
+(`src/server/management/write-ownership.ts`), because `route-registry.ts` is
+pinned imports-nothing and a verdict ledger is data the core dispatch path
+must never load. The ledger lists exactly the **deferred** mutating routes
+(the set with neither a `go` marker nor an `exempt` today); go-owned and
+exempt verdicts are read from the existing registry fields, never duplicated:
+
+- `go-owned` — derived from `route.go.relay === "signed"` (12 today).
+- `exempt` — derived from the registry `exempt` reason; the existing honesty
+  tests already police it.
+- `deferred` — one ledger row per remaining mutating route, carrying a `why`
+  (≥ the same non-trivial length bar as exemption reasons) and an optional
+  owner doc. Deferred is the explicit, reviewed state that replaces "silent
+  plain".
+
+A test then proves: the deferred ledger exactly covers the mutating routes
+with neither marker (no extra, no missing, no plain); a route cannot gain a
+`go` marker while its ledger row still exists (the existing marker-set pin
+enforces the 12); adding a mutating route without a ledger row fails. The
+exports stay inert data on the core path: nothing under `management-api.ts`
+imports the new module.
+
+Verdict classification for the current 92 silent-plain routes follows the
+write batches' own scope (spec #3: config writes, quota/usage, account-pool)
+plus the state-source gate (devlog 030) for what stays TS-process-owned. A
+route in the ledger is DEFERRED because no batch has claimed it: the three
+batches claimed the pure config/account-pool writes (#21 settings trio, #22
+quota/usage, #23 account-pool verbs), and the deferred families are either
+TS-process-owned state the flip will own (login flows and dashboard sessions,
+OAuth device-code state, provider keychains, native-profile staging state
+machines, storage job tables, system restart/tray/update actions, Codex Log
+Guard protection) or config writes with live-catalog/registry residue the read
+face already defers to the catalog/provider line (devlog 032: models,
+providers, aliases, discovery). This is an ownership record, not a claim that
+a relay is impossible — the relay executes the legacy TS handler, so the
+honest boundary is batch scope and state ownership. The ledger row records the
+family-level reason with concrete citations, mirroring 032's per-route table.
+
+## Seam 2 — state-reset differential coverage for the write surface
+
+Extend `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts` so every one of the 12 declared
+Go-owned write routes has its own state-reset oracle case: reset fixture bytes
+→ apply the same mutation through Server A (in-process TS) and Server B
+(sidecar attached, real Go) → compare status, headers, and body, then compare
+the post-write on-disk config bytes. Where the route mutates no config (a
+validation-only or account-store route under the fixture), the case proves the
+response path and the no-write-on-error leg instead, and says so in the case
+name.
+
+Delivered as three vectors sets in this file, one per declared write-route
+group:
+
+- `codex-auth account-pool write vectors have a state-reset differential
+  oracle` — `PUT active` (pins + writes config), `PUT`/`PATCH pool-strategy`
+  (write config), `POST accounts/clear-cooldown` (no config post-state under
+  the empty fixture; clears in-process routing health, so the oracle proves
+  the response path and no-write leg), plus an invalid-strategy 400 leg that
+  leaves bytes untouched.
+- `oauth account-pool and account-store vectors match through Go` —
+  `PATCH accounts/pool` (persists anthropicAccountPool), `PUT accounts/active`
+  (account-store route: under the empty fixture no OAuth account exists, so it
+  is the 404 no-write rejection path), `POST accounts/clear-cooldown`
+  (in-process health, no config post-state), plus an invalid-strategy 400 leg.
+
+The write legs also assert the file actually changed (`post-state ≠ initial`)
+so a later byte equality is not vacuous. Under the fixture probe:
+settings/shadow-call/sidecar-settings/codex-auth active/codex-auth
+pool-strategy(PUT/PATCH)/oauth accounts pool(PUT/PATCH) write; the
+clear-cooldown verbs return 200 `cleared:false` without writing (they clear
+in-process routing health, absent under a fresh fixture); reset-credits/consume
+and oauth accounts/active validate against account state and return
+400/404 without writing.
+
+## Seam 3 — authorization gate: rejection parity as a whole-surface property
+
+The batch tests prove the happy path and the relay proof machinery
+(`tests/go-sidecar-write-relay.test.ts`); #18 proves the decision substrate on
+arbitrary vectors (`tests/go-auth-parity.test.ts`). Neither proves that the
+*migrated write surface's own* rejection paths match TypeScript. Seam 3 adds
+the write-surface authorization oracle:
+
+- For each declared Go-owned write route (the 12 method/path pairs), build the
+  under-privileged request set the front door admits or rejects on: no
+  credential, wrong admin token, and a valid system-restart capability aimed
+  at the write route's own method/path (proving a capability principal minted
+  for another route can never cross onto the write surface). Each vector set
+  also carries the admitting admin-token request so a false rejection on the
+  migrated surface would surface too.
+- Feed identical vectors through TS in-process
+  (`src/server/management-auth.ts`, exactly as `go-auth-parity` does) and
+  through the Go gate via `ocx-sidecar authcheck`; compare byte-for-byte.
+  Because Go-owned write routes are forwarded only after front-door admission,
+  the *public* rejection is the front door's — but the flip will serve these
+  same routes with the Go gate as the front door, so the substrate decision on
+  the exact write-surface method/path pairs is what must match. That is what
+  this seam pins: principal-or-rejection equality on the write surface, not on
+  a generic vector.
+- The relay's own rejection paths (bad claim / replay / expiry / altered body)
+  stay pinned by `go-sidecar-write-relay.test.ts`; seam 3 does not duplicate
+  them.
+
+The authorization oracle lives beside the existing parity tests as a new
+`tests/go-write-surface-auth-parity.test.ts` (same skip-if-no-Go guard and
+one-Go-process-per-array shape as `go-auth-parity.test.ts`).
+
+## Security boundary
+
+- Seam 1 adds an inert data module (`write-ownership.ts`) that nothing under
+  `management-api.ts` imports; it never routes traffic. `route-registry.ts`
+  still imports nothing at all.
+- Seam 2/3 are differential oracles; they build the sidecar binary and boot
+  fixture servers but touch only throwaway `OPENCODEX_HOME` fixtures. No
+  credential, cookie, or browser header crosses a process boundary in the
+  tested relay paths (existing write-relay contract, unchanged).
+- No client credential, dashboard session, or admin token is added to what the
+  sidecar receives. The Go gate stays substrate; nothing in this ticket makes
+  it reachable by an unauthenticated public caller.
+
+## Proof
+
+- Seam 1: new `tests/write-surface-ownership.test.ts` (ledger exactly covers
+  the mutating routes with neither marker; ledger rows must name real routes;
+  family reasons non-trivial; owner doc is a tracked repo file).
+- Seam 2: `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts` gains the codex-auth and oauth
+  vector sets above, completing one state-reset case per declared write route
+  (12 total) — every declared write route has one; the file passes 15 tests
+  (13 before this run, two fixture cases added).
+- Seam 3: new `tests/go-write-surface-auth-parity.test.ts` (2 tests, 48 +
+  24 vectors); TS in-process vs `ocx-sidecar authcheck` byte equality on the
+  write-surface vectors, plus the 503-unavailable state for the same surface.
+- Gates: `go build/vet/test ./...` green under `go/`; focused Bun suites green;
+  `bun run typecheck` green.
+
+## Delivery notes (filled in at close)
+
+Delivered on `fix/ticket-26-write-auth-gate`, rebased onto `f8ab6d510` (dev-go: #21-23 + #24):
+
+- **035 decision record** (this doc) written first, then the three seams TDD'd
+  in order, each red-green before moving on.
+- **Seam 1**: `src/server/management/write-ownership.ts` — 92 deferred verdict
+  rows across 15 owning-module families (script-generated from
+  `MANAGEMENT_ROUTES`, so no transcription drift), each `why` naming the real
+  state-source / batch-scope reason; `tests/write-surface-ownership.test.ts`
+  (4 tests) forces exact coverage: the ledger is precisely the mutating set
+  with neither a `go` marker nor an `exempt`, ledger rows must resolve to real
+  unclaimed mutating routes, reasons are non-trivial, and the owner doc is a
+  tracked repo file. Registry untouched; ledger imports nothing but a type.
+- **Seam 2**: `tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts` gains two fixture cases
+  (codex-auth vectors: active / pool-strategy PUT+PATCH / clear-cooldown;
+  oauth vectors: pool PATCH / active-404 / clear-cooldown) with write legs
+  that assert the file changed so the byte equality is non-vacuous, plus
+  invalid-strategy 400 no-write legs on both faces. Every declared write route
+  (12) now has a state-reset differential case; the file passes 15 tests
+  (13 before, two fixture cases added).
+- **Seam 3**: new `tests/go-write-surface-auth-parity.test.ts` (2 tests,
+  75 expect calls) — per declared write route, no-credential / wrong-token /
+  cross-route capability / admin-token vectors through TS `management-auth`
+  vs `ocx-sidecar authcheck`, byte-identical; plus the same surface under
+  unavailable auth state (503 identical).
+- Resolved mid-flight: the first ledger draft argued deferrals from a
+  "cannot relay / cannot differential" frame, which the write-relay architecture
+  refutes (the relay executes the legacy TS handler; `PUT /api/settings`
+  itself triggers `convergeCodexCatalog`). Rewrote every family reason around
+  batch scope + state ownership and updated the 035 verdict-classification
+  paragraph to match.
+- Gates on this branch: `bun run typecheck` clean; focused suites
+  (write-surface-ownership, management-route-registry, go-ownership-plumbing,
+  go-sidecar-parity, go-sidecar-write-relay, go-auth-parity,
+  go-write-surface-auth-parity) green; `go vet` + `go test ./...` green under
+  `go/`. A `bun run test:changed` run showed only concurrency-timeout failures
+  in unrelated suites (codex-log-guard / lab / responses / abort-race), all of
+  which pass when re-run alone.

+# 036 — Ticket #27: non-streaming relay + response repair for one provider
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Ticket: [#27](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/27) (spec #4: non-streaming relay + response repair for one provider)
+Blocked-by (#24): closed — hot-path seam + streaming differential harness landed on `dev-go`.
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+#27 is the first **provider relay** ticket of the hot-path increment (#4): it
+replaces the #24 private parent bridge as the seam's stream source for ONE
+provider class on ONE transport shape. It must NOT relay streaming traffic
+(that is #29), must NOT reproduce routing decisions beyond an unambiguous
+single-provider subset (that is #30), and must NOT port every response repair
+(that is #31). Everything outside the declared relay subset keeps the #24
+bridge, so the TypeScript oracle continues to serve it byte-identically and the
+differential never compares a class the seam does not claim.
+
+The relay subset is deliberately narrow and is machine-pinned by the
+differential plus the Go unit suites:
+
+1. **Transport**: non-streaming (`stream` is not `true`) `POST /v1/responses`.
+2. **Provider**: one key-mode `openai-responses` provider whose Responses wire
+   needs no translation — the TS pipeline forwards the client request body
+   verbatim upstream (verified empirically for the simple-completion subset:
+   plain input, input arrays, declared function tools, reasoning effort, and
+   both the `configured-model-list` and `default-provider` route kinds). The
+   sidecar reproduces that forward byte-for-byte, including the provider
+   `Authorization` when an env/literal `apiKey` resolves. OAuth/forward,
+   keychain keys, custom `responsesPath`, combos, routing profiles, shadow
+   intercept and model namespace (`a/b`) requests never qualify — they stay on
+   the bridge.
+3. **Repair**: the whole-body JSON response repair the TS pipeline applies to
+   bounded-JSON Responses answers (the field backfill: message/reasoning/call
+   item `id` synthesis, message `status` backfill, `output_text.annotations`
+   backfill) runs in Go on the relayed 2xx response. #31 later generalises this
+   into the full ordered repair chain for every rewrite; #27 owns the one
+   deterministic JSON transform that the bounded-JSON path applies today.
+4. **Errors**: a non-2xx upstream answer with a non-empty body is relayed
+   verbatim (status, content-type, body) exactly like the TS passthrough; a
+   valid upstream `Retry-After` is preserved, an invalid one is dropped.
+   TS-only error surface — synthetic `Retry-After` defaults for 429s, empty-body
+   error envelopes, quota/cyber-policy classification, and pre-stream retry
+   loops — is NOT ported here: those are recovery semantics owned by the
+   routing ticket (#30) and remain a documented seam-period divergence.
+
+## Design decisions
+
+### 1. The relay rides the #24 seam behind its own env gate
+
+`OPENCODEX_GO_HOTPATH_RELAY` (declared in `src/server/hot-path-seam.ts`, read
+by the sidecar) switches the seam's source for qualifying requests from the
+bridge to the direct upstream relay. Default OFF: a default install — and any
+install that has not proven a provider against the differential — is unchanged.
+Independent rollback per spec #4 story 13: the management surface, the seam,
+and the provider relay each carry their own gate.
+
+The gate is evaluated per request inside `dataPlaneSeam` AFTER the existing
+front-door claim checks (the request token is still required; the seam still
+never invents a public listener). A request that does not qualify falls through
+to the bridge exactly as in #24, so the fallback is per-request, not global.
+
+### 2. The relay-safe predicate is a config + request contract
+
+Go claims a request only when it can prove the TS pipeline would forward it
+verbatim and repair only the backfill:
+
+- Config-level refusals (bridge): combos table present, routing profiles
+  present, `shadowCallIntercept.enabled`, provider `authMode` not key-mode,
+  provider `apiKey` is a `keychain:` reference, custom `responsesPath`,
+  provider `adapter` not `openai-responses`, disabled provider.
+- Route-level: the requested model (no `/`) must resolve through the TS simple
+  subset — a single enabled provider owning the model via `models` /
+  `defaultModel`, else the sole configured `defaultProvider` — mirroring
+  `routeModelInternal`'s `configured-model-list` /
+  `configured-default-model` / `default-provider` kinds in file order.
+- Request-level: body is a JSON object; `stream` is not `true`; `model` is a
+  string; the body has none of the features that make TS rewrite the outbound
+  bytes or engage request-local state (`previous_response_id`, compaction
+  markers, namespaced/hosted tool entries, web-search/image/video plans); no
+  Codex pool/sub-agent/attestation headers on the request.
+
+The predicate is exercised by the differential matrix and by unit tests that
+assert each refusal reason; the seam's honest fallback means a wrong refusal
+costs parity (bridge still serves it), never correctness.
+
+### 3. Outbound request = the #24 openaiResponsesUrl contract + verbatim body
+
+The relay builds `POST <baseUrl-normalized>/v1/responses` with the same
+path normalization as `src/adapters/openai-responses-url.ts` (strip trailing
+slashes / `/responses` / `/v1`, append `/v1/responses`), forwards the seam
+request's body bytes verbatim, sets `content-type: application/json`, and adds
+`Authorization: Bearer <key>` when the provider `apiKey` resolves through the
+env (`${NAME}` / `$NAME`) or a literal. Loopback/private base URLs honor
+`allowPrivateNetwork`; the request never goes through a system proxy (mirrors
+the bridge transport). Keychain resolution is refused (bridge) because the
+sidecar has no keychain access.
+
+### 4. Response = transport fidelity + the bounded-JSON backfill in Go
+
+For a 2xx JSON answer the relay applies the field backfill to an ordered JSON
+tree and re-emits only when a field changed — byte-identical untouched
+payloads (raw relay) and canonical re-serialisation on change, exactly like
+the TS bounded-JSON path. The ordered tree and the ECMAScript
+`JSON.stringify` encoder (string escaping, key order, V8 number formatting)
+live in a new `go/internal/jsonwire` package; the transform mirrors
+`src/server/responses/responses-field-backfill.ts` and its observed byte
+behaviour, pinned by Go unit tests against golden payloads captured from the
+TS oracle (message/reasoning/function/custom-tool id synthesis with
+`<prefix>_ocx_<index>`, `status` inference from the response status, and
+`annotations: []` on `output_text` parts).
+
+Non-JSON 2xx and non-2xx non-empty bodies are relayed verbatim with the
+upstream content-type; valid `Retry-After` passes through.
+
+### 5. Proof that Go (not the bridge) served a claim
+
+The Bun differential asserts the fixture upstream sees the seam-served
+request arrive from the Go process (`User-Agent: Go-http-client/…`) while the
+in-process oracle's identical request arrives from Bun, and that both requests
+carry the same method/path/content-type/`Authorization`/body. A gate-negative
+request (e.g. `stream: true`) must arrive from the bridge (Bun UA), proving
+the fallback still owns non-qualifying traffic. The Go seam unit suite proves
+the same without a bridge: the seam answers a qualifying request while the
+parent bridge is a dead port.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+- The relay activates only behind the existing seam request-token gate; it
+  adds no public listener and never reads a client credential — the front
+  door's body-bound claim headers are relayed to the bridge only, never to the
+  provider upstream.
+- The provider API key is resolved from the config/env the operator already
+  trusts the sidecar with (the sidecar is a child of the proxy process);
+  keychain material is never requested (bridge instead).
+- Outbound destinations are validated: only the configured provider base URL,
+  honoring `allowPrivateNetwork`; no proxy, no userinfo, loopback-only for the
+  fixture.
+
+## Proof (as landed)
+
+- `go/internal/jsonwire` unit tests: V8 number formatting against a committed
+  Bun-generated corpus (`testdata/v8-numbers.tsv`, 447 rows incl. exponent
+  window edges and random finite doubles), ECMAScript string escaping
+  (control escapes, literal U+2028/U+2029, no HTML escaping), ordered
+  round-trip / spread-set semantics, and number canonicalisation through
+  `Encode`.
+- `go/internal/sidecar` field-backfill unit tests against committed goldens
+  produced by the REAL TypeScript repair
+  (`testdata/responses-repair-goldens.json`, 27 shapes: sparse message
+  canonical order, response-status → message-status mapping incl.
+  failed→incomplete / queued→in_progress, id namespace prefixes,
+  empty-string and non-string id replacement in place, compaction exclusion,
+  raw-bytes identity when nothing changed, number-literal canonicalisation on
+  change, U+2028 handling, key order).
+- `go/internal/sidecar` relay unit tests: relay-safe predicate (every refusal
+  reason named), the seam direct relay with a dead bridge (proves no bridge
+  hop), outbound verbatim body + path + resolved `Authorization`, valid
+  `Retry-After` preserved / invalid dropped on a verbatim non-2xx relay,
+  oversized-body bound, streaming and gate-off requests staying on the
+  bridge.
+- `tests/go-hotpath-relay.test.ts`: two-server differential over the
+  non-streaming matrix (plain input, tools array, reasoning, default-provider
+  fallback, plus a streaming refusal), where each armed-relay response equals
+  the in-process oracle byte-for-byte, the fixture upstream proves direct
+  serving via `User-Agent: Go-http-client/…` for relay-admitted requests and
+  Bun for refused/gate-off ones, and the relay gate off keeps every request
+  on the bridge.
+
+## Delivery notes (filled in at close)
+
+- Landed as a feature commit plus a "Merge ticket #27 …" merge on `dev-go`;
+  no PR (repository convention). TS `typecheck`, the focused suites
+  (`tests/go-hotpath-seam.test.ts`, `tests/go-hotpath-relay.test.ts`),
+  `go test ./...` and the full TS suite are green; `privacy:scan` is green.
+- Seam-period divergences, all documented and owned by later tickets:
+  pre-stream retry loops, synthetic 429 `Retry-After`, empty-body error
+  envelopes, quota/cyber-policy classification, streaming relay (#29),
+  routing/combos/namespace handling (#30), full repair-chain parity (#31).

+# 037 — Ticket #28: WebSocket bridge parity
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Ticket: [#28](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/28)
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+This increment covers Responses WebSocket *frame production* only. Public
+handshake admission, origin policy, capacity, socket ownership, cancellation,
+logging and provider routing remain in Bun. Realtime/Live sockets and direct
+provider WebSocket transport are outside this ticket.
+
+## Design decision
+
+We chose **(b), a Bun front door that forwards one authenticated client turn to
+a Go loopback WebSocket endpoint**. Bun cannot transfer its accepted client
+descriptor to another process and the Go standard library has no server
+WebSocket package. The front door therefore retains the browser/Codex socket;
+Go implements the small RFC6455 handshake/frame subset with the standard
+library and calls a private parent bridge for the existing Responses pipeline.
+It then emits the text and error frames that Bun copies unchanged to the
+client. This proves Go produced the observable framing while retaining the
+existing authority boundary.
+
+The route requires the per-activation parent request token. Go→parent calls
+require the distinct bridge token. Neither hop carries an API key, cookie, or
+other client credential. `OPENCODEX_GO_WS_BRIDGE=1` is independent and
+default-off; it requires an attached sidecar. Failed bridge startup produces a
+retryable frame before any provider turn begins.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+The Go listener remains loopback-only and 404s requests without the request
+token. The private parent bridge verifies its bridge token. Maximum client and
+Go text frames are 50 MiB, matching Bun's Responses WS policy. No payloads or
+credentials are logged.
+
+## Proof (as landed)
+
+- Go's RFC6455 endpoint accepts a masked text request only after token-gated
+  upgrade, calls the parent bridge, and emits one text frame per SSE data
+  block, terminal stop behavior, JSON event synthesis, and structured errors.
+- The Bun differential boots an in-process oracle and an attached Go sidecar,
+  captures every client text frame, and compares each UTF-8 payload byte for
+  byte across SSE, JSON, upstream error, malformed/incomplete streams and a
+  large frame.
+
+## Delivery notes (filled in at close)
+
+- Implementation keeps normal WebSockets on the existing Bun path unless the
+  explicit Go WS gate is enabled. Direct streaming relay, multi-turn cancel
+  propagation and Realtime/Live ownership remain for follow-up tickets.

+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`  
+Date: 2026-09-06  
+Status: implemented  
+Ticket: #33  
+Decision: [010 — migrate, do not cut](./010_lab_migrate_vs_cut_decision.md)
+
+## Verdict ledger
+
+The audit replaces the old blanket `local-transport` conclusion for literal reads.
+`src/cli/lab.ts` does read the local SQLite projection directly, but the Compatibility
+Matrix GUI independently fetches `GET /api/lab/*` through
+`gui/src/pages/compatibility-matrix-api.ts`. Thus local CLI transport is not a reason
+to leave the public browser transport TypeScript-owned. The pre-flip state oracle
+remains TypeScript; Go owns transport through a parent capability bridge and does not
+port the SQLite projection.
+
+| Route family | Verdict | Reason |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `GET /api/lab/automation`, `/runs` | Go now, strict | Literal routes. Dashboard-facing management transport; parent owns automation files/process state. |
+| `GET /api/lab/artifacts`, `/catalog`, `/events`, `/observations`, `/production-signals`, `/public/community`, `/status`, `/subjects`, `/verdicts` | Go now, strict | Literal public reads used by the Compatibility Matrix. Parent bridge returns oracle bytes; no volatile fields are allowed. |
+| `GET /api/lab/subjects/{id}`, `/events/{id}`, `/artifacts/{digest}` | Defer | Regex routes cannot be represented by `findGoOwnedManagementRoute`'s exact literal lookup. Their existing local CLI transport remains true, but is not the reason for the deferral. |
+| Seven Lab writes, including automation and public evidence verbs | Defer | No CLI verb exists; the bounded `wp7` ownership record in `060_phase_gui_parity.md` remains authoritative. This ticket does not widen write relay scope. |
+
+## Delivery notes
+
+- Registry flips the eleven literal Lab GET rows to `go: { volatileFields: [] }`;
+  the three regex reads remain non-Go-owned. `read-surface-ownership.ts` records
+  the corresponding Go-now rows, keeping the all-read matrix exact.
+- `go/internal/sidecar` serves only those exact routes after verifying the parent
+  request capability. It relays to `/__ocx_go_sidecar/lab-read`; the parent
+  verifies the child capability and re-enters `handleManagementAPI` with Go
+  forwarding disabled. This preserves the dynamic Lab import and the core/Lab
+  import boundary while avoiding a second SQLite implementation.
+- `tests/go-lab-routes-parity.test.ts` builds with `CGO_ENABLED=0`, enables the
+  real Lab activation gate using a routing profile, starts an in-process oracle
+  and a sidecar-attached server, and compares status, content type, and raw
+  response bytes for all eleven routes. The unseeded projection deliberately
+  includes the `503 lab_projection_unavailable` response family.
+- `tests/management-route-registry.test.ts` now pins the literal-vs-regex
+  judgement, including the strict empty volatile set.
+
+## Follow-up ownership
+
+The next Lab increment owns native Go projection/state and any expansion of the
+exact-match route seam to parameterised routes. The existing `wp7` GUI-parity phase
+owns Lab writes and CLI verbs.

+# 039 — Ticket #35: Go CLI scaffold + local HTTP transport + version parity
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Ticket: [#35](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/35) (spec #5)
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+This ticket adds a second CLI binary without moving the TypeScript CLI's operator workflow. The Go binary has a deliberately small registry: help, `--version`/`-v`/`version`, `health`, and `ready`. It drives only local unauthenticated identity endpoints. Starts, stops, configuration writes, management routes, wait/retry parity, and the complete command matrix remain owned by TypeScript until later slices; #36 owns the broader parity harness.
+
+## Design decisions
+
+### 1. Package manifest is the development version authority; release injection is authoritative outside a checkout
+
+TypeScript's `printVersion()` reads repository `package.json`. A Go binary built from this checkout walks upward from its current working directory to the same manifest, then prints exactly `opencodex <version>\n`. That makes an ordinary source build match TypeScript immediately (2.42.0 for this ticket) without duplicating a version constant.
+
+Release builds set `main.version` with `-ldflags -X main.version=<package version>`; `OCX_VERSION` exists for controlled packaging environments. Both override the checkout fallback, so a distributed binary does not depend on a nearby source tree. Release tooling must derive that ldflag from the same package manifest used to publish the TypeScript CLI. A missing source manifest and missing injected version deliberately reports `0.0.0`, never a copied, stale package value.
+
+### 2. The command registry is data and parsing is local
+
+`internal/ocxcli.Commands` is the top-level registry used by help and tests. `Run` is injected with streams, runtime-record loading, HTTP client and challenge generation, allowing exact output and exit-code tests without a subprocess. The currently supported `--json` option is intentionally narrow; unknown or misplaced options return sysexits usage code 64 before discovery or HTTP work.
+
+### 3. Local transport first proves process identity, then reads readiness
+
+The CLI reads TypeScript-owned `OPENCODEX_HOME/runtime-port.json`, requiring a valid pid, port and 43-character attestation secret. `health` sends a fresh base64url challenge to `/healthz`, requires `status:"ok"`, `service:"opencodex"`, matching pid/port and verifies the response HMAC over `opencodex-local-management-v1\n<challenge>\n<pid>\n<port>`. It sends no admin token. `ready` first completes that health proof, then accepts `/readyz` only when its status/body pairing, service, version, pid and port match the existing TypeScript readiness contract.
+
+## Proof (as landed)
+
+- Go unit tests cover exact version output, registry shape, usage exit 64, healthy and invalid-attestation paths, and ready JSON output.
+- `tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts` builds `cmd/ocx` when Go is available, compares Go and TypeScript version stdout byte-for-byte, then starts a real TypeScript proxy, writes its runtime record, verifies the TypeScript proof independently, and compares Go health identity JSON fields to that proxy. This is the small extension point for #36's command matrix.
+
+## Delivery notes (filled in at close)
+
+- Added `go/cmd/ocx`, `go/internal/ocxcli`, focused Go tests, the first Bun CLI differential, and the Go README capability note.
+- Validation: `bun run typecheck`, `bun test tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts`, and `go fmt/vet/build/test ./...` from `go/`.
+- Follow-on: #36 should expand differential coverage to the TypeScript CLI's full command and exit/output matrix, including wait and failure semantics.

+# 040 — Go hot-path routing decisions (ticket #30)
+
+The new Go routing package is a pure state-snapshot kernel. The `routingcheck` sidecar subcommand runs it only for Bun differential tests; it is not a live sidecar route and the relay remains unchanged.
+
+The differential imports TypeScript as the oracle. It creates an isolated home, writes account credentials with `saveCodexAccountCredential`, seeds quota with `updateAccountQuota`, and clears quota, health, thread, rotation, and key-cooldown state around each vector. It calls `resolveCodexAccountForThread` for quota selection and a real 429 cooldown created by `recordCodexUpstreamOutcome`; key vectors call `rotateKeyOn429` and `getKeyCooldownUntil`. Each TypeScript decision is compared with JSON from the Go executable.
+
+Covered matrix: quota strategy active threshold rotation to lowest known usage; hard quota cooldown exclusion where another account is eligible; and key-pool 429 ring selection plus numeric Retry-After cooldown. The Go parser rejects non-TypeScript numeric forms such as `1e3`, `+5`, and `0x10`.
+
+Not yet covered or claimed: round-robin smooth-weight/sticky-success state, fill-first runtime cursor, unknown and plan-window quota scoring, all-unavailable sentinel behavior, priorities, affinity, reauth, scoped cooldowns, and soft avoid. A later parent-authorized state bridge must carry these state snapshots and successors before those paths can flip.
+
+The engine is intentionally not wired into the direct relay. The relay returns its first upstream 429, while TypeScript executes `rotateProviderTransportOn429` later in `handleResponses`, after owning route and config persistence. A Go retry returned 200 where the TypeScript oracle returned 429, so that wiring was reverted.

+# 041 — Ticket #36: CLI parity harness
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Ticket: [#36](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/36) (spec #5: CLI parity harness)
+Blocked-by (#35): merged — Go CLI scaffold + local HTTP transport landed on `dev-go`.
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+A reusable subprocess differential harness lives in
+`tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts`. It builds `go/cmd/ocx` with `CGO_ENABLED=0`, runs
+the TypeScript and Go CLIs with the same argv and an isolated `OPENCODEX_HOME`,
+and compares stdout, stderr, and exit status byte-for-byte for Go-owned version
+aliases, help, unknown-command, health, and ready paths. Live cases use a
+shared local HMAC-attested loopback fixture; health's PID is normalized
+narrowly because TS liveness deliberately returns an unkillable PID as `null`
+while Go validates the attested PID. The matrix also names `status` and
+`config show` as TS-only rows until their Go implementations exist, recording
+the incomplete surface rather than treating it as parity.
+
+The harness runs in the Go CI job's differential-oracle step alongside the
+existing sidecar oracle. It skips only when a local developer has no Go
+toolchain; CI installs Go before executing it.
+
+The Go CLI observable surface was aligned with the TypeScript contract for full
+help, command help, unknown-command output/exit status, health output, and
+ready parser status messages. `skills/ocx` is generated solely from the
+TypeScript capability registry and has no Go-specific surface, so no generated
+skill file changed.
+
+## Verification
+
+`go test ./...`; `bun test tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts` (23 pass);
+`bun run typecheck`; full `bun run test` suite.

+# 042 — Ticket #29: streaming Responses relay + frame parity
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Ticket: [#29](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/29)
+
+## Scope
+
+The Go data-plane relay now directly serves a narrow `stream: true`,
+`openai-responses` subset. It incrementally frames upstream SSE, mirrors the
+unconditional Responses field backfill, observes the first Responses terminal,
+and preserves exact client bytes against the TypeScript tee-path oracle. Any
+request outside this subset remains on the authenticated parent bridge.
+
+## Byte protocol
+
+The state machine retains incomplete transport bytes until it sees one of all
+four legal blank-line delimiters: LF/LF, LF/CRLF, CRLF/LF, or CRLF/CRLF.
+Complete blocks retain their original delimiter. A rewrite extracts and joins
+`data:` lines, parses JSON only when valid, and replaces the first data line
+only when the field backfill changed the event. CRLF blocks retain CRLF. An
+unterminated EOF block is rewritten and synthetically delimited using its
+newline style.
+
+`response.completed`, `response.failed`, and `response.incomplete` form the
+client boundary. Frames after the first terminal are dropped. A pre-terminal
+`data: [DONE]` is held until a terminal arrives; a terminal without an actual
+DONE receives the conventional LF DONE frame. Clean EOF without a terminal
+receives the adapter-EOF incomplete event plus DONE. Upstream read errors flush
+the partial frame and append the static TypeScript failed-tail fallback because
+Go and Bun transport error strings differ.
+
+The committed six-row oracle corpus exercises sparse object repair, truncated
+and incomplete tails, malformed joined data containing DONE, CRLF delimiters,
+and terminal incomplete. The Go tests run each row whole and byte-by-byte, and
+also prove terminal ordering, post-terminal dropping, premature-DONE holding,
+and the frame-size limit.
+
+## Admission
+
+Stream admission resolves the existing narrow route first and rejects provider
+configuration that arms a client-visible transformation:
+
+- material `responsesItemIdRepair` (the empty object is inert),
+- `responsesSnapshotRepair: true`,
+- `statelessResponses: true`, or
+- a case-insensitive match of the plan model in `preserveReasoningContentModels`.
+
+These checks apply only to streams. Non-stream behavior remains ticket #27's
+whole-body relay. A successful `2xx text/event-stream` is incrementally
+rewritten and flushed; non-SSE and non-2xx stream responses retain the previous
+verbatim transport behavior.
+
+## JSON encoding
+
+`jsonwire` now uses ECMAScript own-property ordering when a repaired event is
+re-serialized: canonical array-index keys from `0` through `4294967294` sort
+numerically first, then all other keys retain document order. This pins the
+sparse oracle's `"1"` key behavior.
+
+## Residuals
+
+- Cyber-policy `error` terminal classification is still TypeScript-owned.
+- Malformed-output-index synthetic ids use the same process-global fallback
+  ordinal namespace as the TypeScript rewrite.
+- Admission inspects saved Go-visible provider configuration, not every routed
+  merge nuance.
+- The oracle is the TypeScript tee transport path; eager transport ordering is
+  not separately reproduced.
+- Frame growth is bounded at 4 MiB; exact overflow recovery is intentionally
+  outside this narrow relay claim.
+- The pre-existing undeclared-tool guard remains allowed only in the narrow
+  configuration where no declared-tool mismatch is involved.

+# 043 — Ticket #42: release pipeline Go build (cross-compile) + CI switch
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-07
+Ticket: [#42](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/42) (spec #7 acceptance:
+release pipeline builds the Go binary for every target; CI verifies Go build/vet/test)
+
+## What landed
+
+The Go binary is the release runtime, so the release path builds and attaches the
+same static cross-platform `ocx` artifact CI has verified:
+
+- `.github/workflows/go-release-artifacts.yml` (scaffolded at 36a0c2cfb as
+  dispatch-only staging) is now the active release-artifact gate. It runs on
+  pull requests and on pushes to `main`/`preview`/`dev` when the Go release
+  surface changes (same paths-filter `changes`-job shape as `ci.yml`), and
+  verifies every release target through `scripts/build-go-release-artifact.sh`:
+  `go build/vet/test` under `go/`, then the linux/amd64 artifact is built and
+  smoked — static ELF check, and `--version` must print exactly
+  `opencodex <package.json version>` when run from a directory with no
+  package.json (proves the `-ldflags` stamp), which is what release.yml relies
+  on per release tag. The matrix job cross-compiles all five release targets
+  (linux/darwin × amd64/arm64, windows/amd64) with the same script and asserts
+  each file's format (ELF 64-bit / Mach-O / PE32+).
+- `scripts/build-go-release-artifact.sh` keeps its single-builder role; its
+  header now states it is the shared artifact builder for the gate workflow and
+  release.yml rather than a staging-only helper awaiting #40 (closed).
+- `release.yml`'s artifact build/attach steps (added with the #41 flip at
+  310f25fa8) are unchanged in behavior; comments now tie them to #42's gate.
+
+## Why the CI switch stayed workflow-shaped
+
+`ci.yml` already runs a `go` job (build/vet/test + 6-target `ocx-sidecar`
+cross-compile + differential oracles). The release *artifact* — `./cmd/ocx` with
+version ldflags and the embedded dashboard — is a different build (script,
+`-trimpath`, `sync-go-embedded-dashboard.sh`, 5 targets), and the release path
+must not trust an unverified producer. A dedicated gate workflow keeps the
+artifact verification next to its consumer (release.yml) instead of enlarging
+the aggregate CI job graph; release remains a deployment of a commit the gate
+already ran on, matching the repo's existing exact-SHA CI gate.
+
+## Verification notes
+
+Local verification: `go build/vet/test` clean under `go/`; the linux/amd64
+artifact builds through the script, prints the exact stamped version, and is a
+static ELF; `tests/ci-workflows.test.ts` pins the workflow's permissions,
+immutable action refs, bounded timeouts, trigger/paths-filter shape, and the
+release.yml Go steps ordering.

+# 044 — Ticket #43: upgrade-in-place + rollback drill + TS golden snapshot
+
+Unit: `260905_go_sidecar_takeover`
+Date: 2026-09-07
+Ticket: [#43](https://github.com/waxiangzi/opencodex/issues/43) (spec #7 stories
+11–13, acceptance: upgrade-in-place works without reconfiguration; the rollback
+drill reverts with state intact; the final TS snapshot is retained as a golden
+oracle). Parent spec: #7. Blocked-by #41 (flip cutover + port reclaim) and #42
+(release pipeline Go build + CI switch) — both merged on `dev-go`.
+
+## Scope discipline
+
+Two subprocess drills and one committed oracle fixture. Nothing else moves:
+this ticket deliberately adds no new CLI surface, no new HTTP route, and no new
+on-disk format. Every assertion targets the *released binary's observable
+behavior* — identity, upgrade, rollback, served responses — never Go internals
+(spec #7 testing decisions).
+
+The fixture driving both drills is `tests/go-upgrade-rollback-drill.test.ts`
+(Bun differential harness in the same family as `tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts`):
+it writes a last-TypeScript-release `OPENCODEX_HOME` by *running the real
+TypeScript CLI* against it, spawns the release-shaped Go binary (`./cmd/ocx`
+built with `CGO_ENABLED=0`, the artifact shape `go-release-artifacts.yml`
+smokes), and shells in and out of the two runtimes under test.
+
+## What landed
+
+### Upgrade-in-place drill (story 11)
+
+Simulates the operator on the last TS release upgrading to the first Go
+release, with state that only the TS runtime could have written:
+
+1. TS CLI `start` on a pinned free port in a fresh `OPENCODEX_HOME` whose
+   `config.json` carries a real fixture (providers, port, default provider).
+   A wait-for-healthy probe on the attested `/healthz` proves the process is
+   up before any assertion runs. (The TS runtime completes its own schema
+   migrations on this first start; the config as settled by the TS runtime is
+   the baseline the rest of the drill must not disturb.)
+2. The Go `ocx start` (same home, same config, no `--port`) then reclaims the
+   port from the TS process (#41 reclaim path: liveness + command-line
+   identity), takes over, and serves.
+3. Assertions on the *state the TS release left behind*: the settled
+   `config.json` is byte-identical after the Go takeover (no rewrite, no
+   reconfiguration), the runtime records now name the Go process, and the
+   Go-owned `ocx status --json` projection reads the records from the same
+   home.
+
+The upgrade path is exactly the #41 `portReclaimer` flow already exercised in
+`runtime_server.go`; the drill proves the *end-to-end TS→Go process handoff*
+with real spawned runtimes rather than unit mocks, and covers the
+TS-runtime-released-on-SIGTERM contract (TS `syncCleanup` removes its own
+pid/runtime records only after graceful drain).
+
+### Rollback drill (story 7, exercised per story 12)
+
+Shells *forward* to the Go runtime, then reverts to the TS CLI and asserts the
+Go-written state is readable without data loss:
+
+1. Go CLI `config set` mutates `config.json` through the Go native writer path
+   (the same byte-compatible writer the parity harness diffs against the TS
+   oracle); the TS-authored fields survive the write byte-compatibly.
+2. Go `stop` through an async `ocx stop` (see harness constraints) releases
+   the port and removes the Go runtime's own records.
+3. TS CLI `status` reads the same home with no repair step, then TS `start`
+   again on the same home binds the port the Go runtime released, reads the
+   same config, and serves — state intact, no reconfiguration.
+4. A dedicated handoff test pins the whole loop TS→Go→stop→TS against the
+   TS-settled config baseline: no rewrite at any handoff boundary, so a
+   rollback never triggers a second TS migration pass.
+
+### Final TS snapshot as golden oracle (story 13)
+
+A committed fixture that pins the *last TypeScript behavior surface* so a
+post-flip parity regression is detectable even after the TS runtime is retired
+from the release path:
+
+- `go/internal/ocxcli/testdata/pid-parse-oracle.tsv` already pins the
+  TS process-state parser as a matrix oracle (committed prior art, generated
+  from `src/config/process-state.ts` semantics). The #43 snapshot extends the
+  same pattern to the *CLI/runtime* surface that the differential harness
+  still diffs TS→Go today: the parity suites
+  (`tests/go-cli-parity.test.ts`, `tests/process-state-go-parity.test.ts`)
+  compare Go's observable behavior against the real TypeScript CLI, and the
+  committed TSV matrix remains as the oracle for what the Go binary must keep
+  reproducing once TS code leaves the release path.
+- The drill file itself is the retained end-to-end snapshot: it always runs
+  the real TS CLI as the last-TS-release side of the handoff, so post-flip
+  the same file continues to prove upgrade/rollback against whatever the
+  fixture pins.
+
+## Why the state-fixture shape stayed process-shaped
+
+The alternative — synthesizing the TS-written state files directly — would
+prove only that Go can *parse* TS-format files. The acceptance criteria are
+about a *release* being upgradeable and revertible; the drill therefore runs
+real TS and real Go processes against one shared home, and asserts the
+observable contract (identity-attested health, served responses, state file
+round-trips) rather than Go internals. TS is available in CI and in this
+checkout until retirement, which is exactly the window in which a drill that
+needs the real TS runtime can still run.
+
+## Why the CI wiring stays workflow-shaped
+
+`ci.yml`'s `go` job already runs the two differential-oracle suites in its
+"go" job (`Differential oracles` step). The drill is the same family — needs
+the Bun runtime and the Go toolchain, runs in minutes — so it joins that step
+rather than growing a new workflow. Spec #7 story 12 wants the drill exercised
+in CI, not necessarily on its own runner.
+
+## Verification notes
+
+Focused verification during development: the drill file standalone under
+`bun test --timeout 60000` (matching the CI batch runner's per-file timeout) —
+6 tests green (upgrade drill, rollback drill, byte-stable handoff, TS
+snapshot-current test, Go-reproduces-snapshot test, buildable-and-named test);
+`go test ./...` and `go vet ./...` under `go/`; `bun run typecheck`; sibling
+differential suites (`go-cli-parity`, `process-state-go-parity`,
+`go-sidecar-parity`) green. CI run: the `go` job's `Differential oracles` step
+now includes the drill file, so a dev-go push exercises upgrade+rollback
+against the release-shaped binary on every run. The suite-wide `test:changed`
+run in this environment is ENOSPC-bound because the isolation harness gives
+each worker its own Go module cache under a temp HOME; the parity suites each
+pass standalone on a clean disk.
+
+Harness findings recorded for the maintainer: `ocx stop` must be driven
+asynchronously in the drill (spawnSync blocks Bun's event loop, the Go child
+zombie is not reaped, and the stop ladder's bounded poll reads the zombie as
+alive for its full 8s deadline); `child.exited` resolves before process death
+in this environment, so liveness assertions use `kill -0`; and the drill's Go
+binary must be named `ocx` because the #34 command-line identity guard
+requires a standalone `ocx`/`opencodex` token.

+# restore / uninstall / recover-history stay TypeScript-owned
+
+Status: open (unit closes when any of the three gains a byte-parity oracle)
+
+Origin: issue #52 continuation review — "flip connect/disconnect/restore/
+recover-history/uninstall to Go (state transactions)". `connect status` and
+`disconnect` flipped in `ed8a2afab`. This unit records why the remaining three
+local-teardown commands are **not** portable the way `disconnect` was, backed
+by reproduction runs against the TypeScript CLI on seeded homes.
+
+## What each command actually does (source map)
+
+- `ocx restore [back]` — `src/cli/dispatch.ts` `restore:` case →
+  `restoreNativeCodexAsync` (`src/codex/inject.ts:1793`). Not a journal-only
+  rollback: it runs desired-state persistence (`setIntegrationEnabled`,
+  `src/codex/desired-state.ts`, recorded in `config.json.clientIntegrations`),
+  an ownership preflight (`inspectNativeCodexOwnership`), the Codex write
+  coordinator protocol (`codexWriteCoordinationEligibility` +
+  `withCodexWriteLock` + `beginTransition` — coordinator SQLite, tx receipts,
+  pre-image capture/compensation), `restoreCodexConfigInline`, catalog
+  artifact restore (`model_catalog_json`), an asynchronous history job
+  (`runCodexHistoryJob`), and `stripGrokConfig` (`src/grok/…`). `restore back`
+  is the reverse inject and needs a **live proxy** + model sync.
+- `ocx uninstall` — `src/cli/index.ts` `handleUninstall`: platform service
+  manager stop/removal, identity-checked proxy shutdown with the tri-state
+  "proven down" probe (#3008), shim/tray/launcher removal, system env var and
+  shell hook removal, then the Codex/Grok native restore and the
+  ownership-metadata-gated config directory removal.
+- `ocx recover-history` — `handleRecoverHistory` →
+  `runCodexHistoryJob({ operation: "recover-legacy-openai" })`: a
+  manifest-independent force-relabel of every user-message history row to
+  openai, executed through the history write-lock substrate over the real
+  Codex resume-history SQLite.
+
+## Reproduction evidence (2026-09-08, Linux, TS CLI `fa8adea97` head)
+
+Seed: temp `OPENCODEX_HOME` + `CODEX_HOME/codex` with an injected
+`config.toml`, a process-owned `opencodex-journal.json`, and a minimal
+`config.json` (providers/defaultProvider).
+
+`ocx restore --json` on that home (exit 0):
+
+- stdout envelope `artifacts.config.action="journal-restored"`,
+  `catalog.state="ok"`, `history.state="ok"`, rows 0.
+- file deltas: `codex/config.toml` rewritten to the journal original;
+  `codex/opencodex-journal.json` removed; **added**
+  `config-mutation.sqlite` **and** `integrations/codex.json`;
+  `config.json` gained `clientIntegrations.codex: false` plus schema
+  defaults materialised.
+- `integrations/codex.json` provenance entries carry `at` (wall clock) and
+  `txId` (UUID) — a second run on the same home emits a different timestamp,
+  and a Go implementation would emit different UUIDs/timestamps too. The
+  byte tree is **non-deterministic by construction**.
+
+`ocx uninstall` on the same home (exit 1, one failed step):
+
+- "not installed" for service/shim/tray steps (platform-manager probes),
+  native Codex restored (journal removed, config.toml rolled back, the same
+  `integrations/codex.json` OWN metadata written), then
+  `refused uninstall: config ownership metadata is missing or invalid` — the
+  config-directory removal is gated on fresh-install ownership metadata, so
+  the interesting legacy behavior is a refusal, not a file transaction.
+
+`ocx recover-history --legacy-openai --yes` on an empty-history home:
+converged with 0 rows, exit 0, zero file deltas. With real history present it
+is a SQLite migration over thread/rollout state that no stdlib-only Go port
+can reproduce, and the whole command exists for pre-backup legacy recovery
+that cannot be fixture-seeded faithfully.
+
+## Why the `disconnect` oracle pattern cannot carry these
+
+`disconnect` is a *closed set*: it either owns every artifact (journal owner
+== connected key, token fingerprint match, catalog fingerprint match) or
+refuses. Every write is deletion/restore of bytes we already hold, so TS vs
+Go byte trees converge. The three commands above are *open sets* by design:
+
+1. **Non-deterministic bytes.** `integrations/codex.json` embeds `at`
+   timestamps and `txId` UUIDs; the coordinator database records
+   transition timing. Byte-diff oracles would need per-file semantic masks,
+   which is the "both halves agree with each other, both wrong" trap the
+   repo's parity discipline exists to prevent.
+2. **Concurrent/asynchronous substrate.** The Codex write coordinator
+   (lock acquisition, adoption, tx publication) and the history worker run
+   outside the synchronous command; a tree snapshot races the worker.
+3. **Platform surface.** `uninstall` touches service managers, the
+   autostart shim, shell hooks and system env vars; behavior differs per OS
+   and cannot close on a single-platform oracle.
+4. **Live / legacy dependencies.** `restore back` requires a running proxy
+   and model sync; `recover-history` mutates real resume-history databases
+   that a fixture cannot faithfully stand in for.
+
+Repo rule applied (from the #38/#44 flip notes): never mark a command native
+without a passing byte-parity oracle. `restore`, `uninstall`, and
+`recover-history` remain TypeScript-owned in `go/internal/ocxcli/cli.go`;
+the Go-owned surface for the family is exactly `ocx connect status` and
+`ocx disconnect` (`ed8a2afab`).
+
+## Prerequisites for a future flip
+
+- Go-side `integrations/*.json` OWN-metadata writer plus the Codex write
+  coordinator and history-job substrate (modernc SQLite already lands in
+  `go/internal/configschema`; the coordinator/history layers do not exist).
+- An oracle that either runs both CLIs against the same wall-clock window
+  and masks `at`/`txId`, or fixtures the coordinator empty and pins the
+  legacy-uncoordinated path — accepted deliberately, not by default.
+- `uninstall` additionally needs per-OS oracle lanes (systemd/launchd/
+  Windows Task Scheduler) before it can leave the service subsystem.

+# Grill record — fork release line direction for the Go takeover
+
+Date: 2026-09-09
+Status: **decided — executing** (dogfood phase; archive to `_fin` once the Go
+artifact ships through the release line)
+
+## What was grilled
+
+A `grilling`-skill session (design tree, round by round) stress-testing what
+happens after the CLI flip close-out (#56/#58/#55 closed, #44 the only open
+tracker). The driver question was the next-phase direction of the Go takeover
+line, with everything downstream of it forced to be explicit.
+
+## Decision tree — each node and the owner's ruling
+
+1. **Grill object** → the *roadmap*: what the next batch of Go migration work
+   is and in what order.
+2. **Milestone anchor** → *capability*: a phase is won when a user-visible
+   capability works without Bun, not when code structure is Go-shaped.
+   (Grounding fact: the most convincing verification of the day was the
+   runtime-probe tests turning green by themselves once the port-10100
+   instance stopped.)
+3. **Next-phase verb** → *(c) ship an installable artifact first* — build and
+   run `go/bin/ocx` (never built before), then decide use/coverage from the
+   artifact's real state. Rationale: (a) use-migration without a verified
+   build is jumping the unknown; (b) coverage expansion before any use
+   feedback is blind.
+4. **Destiny of the fork `dev-go` line** → *(a) the fork is the main
+   battlefield* — the owner forks independently, releases their own versions,
+   and *considers donating upstream once mature*. Fork = final line; upstream
+   (lidge-jun/opencodex) = reference pulled, future donation target.
+5. **ADR contradiction fix scope** → *(b) ADR-0008 + ADR-0009* — close the
+   contradiction inside the ADR asset; CONTEXT.md/AGENTS.md fork-reality prose
+   is operational guidance, a separate governance decision, not ADR business.
+6. **Artifact action** → *(a) local build + smoke* — build `go/bin/ocx`,
+   verify the 42 Go-owned commands run natively, the 10 TS-owned print the
+   standalone delegation error, and the dev-mode delegation path works.
+7. **Artifact destination** → *(c) dogfood first* — point daily `ocx` at the
+   Go binary, let real use surface the gap list, fix gaps, *then* ship
+   (also the accumulation basis for the upstream-donation maturity test).
+
+## Facts the tree rested on (all verified, not assumed)
+
+- **F1** — CLI registry 42 Go-owned / 10 TS-owned (Bun-dependent by design per
+  ADR-0009); oracle-able surface complete.
+- **F2** — All takeover work lives on fork `dev-go`: 1033 ahead / 183 behind
+  `upstream/dev`; `go/` is 9 subsystems, ~57k lines.
+- **F3** — ADR-0008's end state ("single binary at 100% differential parity")
+  was written for the upstream line; the delivered increment set is fork
+  tickets #1–#43, all closed — including #40 single-binary packaging, #41
+  cutover (Go binary is the *release runtime*), #42 release pipeline, #43
+  upgrade/rollback oracle.
+- **F4** — Fork vs upstream relation had never been made explicit before this
+  session; zero PRs exist fork→upstream.
+- **F5** — The sidecar/server face is far past "first read route": hot path,
+  non-streaming relay, ws bridge, SSE relay, Lab routes all closed.
+- **F6** — Nobody had ever run the Go binary: `go/bin/` had no artifact, the
+  operating instance and daily CLI were the npm TS build.
+- **F7** — Only open issue is #44 (seam tracker).
+- **F8** — The fork's npm line already publishes on its own cadence:
+  `@bitkyc08/opencodex`, 233 versions, latest 2.48.0 (2026-09-08); upstream
+  has no npm package under `opencodex` (E404), so no version collision.
+- **F9** — `release.yml` (post-#42) requires release tags to attach a
+  TypeScript-free single-binary Go artifact behind the `go-release-artifacts`
+  gate — but no such release was ever produced (`gh release` empty; npm tarball
+  has no Go binary).
+- **F10** — The ADR contradiction, precisely: ADR-0008's "TypeScript CLI and
+  server remain the operating surface" vs the #41/#42 reality "Go binary is the
+  release runtime / release tags ship single-binary artifacts". ADR-0009 had
+  superseded the 100%-parity clause without ADR-0008 marking it.
+- **F11** — Standalone Go binary on the 10 TS-owned commands prints "this
+  standalone ocx binary needs the TypeScript lifecycle owner…" (exit 1)
+  unless `OCX_TYPESCRIPT_CLI` points at a full distribution; dev-mode

+## Delivered (same session)
+
+- **ADR update** — commit `3803c2afd`: ADR-0008 gains a "Status update
+  (2026-09-09)" section (increment state #1–#43, operating surface now Go,
+  parity clause explicitly deferred to 0009, fork-line prose marker); ADR-0009
+  gains a fork-line addendum tying its Bun-dependent list to the 10 standalone
+  delegation commands.
+- **First artifact build + smoke** — `go/bin/ocx`: 20 MB static ELF
+  (CGO_ENABLED=0, `-ldflags -X main.version=2.42.0`). Smoke rows all green:
+  `--version` from any cwd; `help` (74 lines); `v2 status` native on an empty
+  home; standalone delegation error (exit 1, F11 text) from a non-repo cwd;
+  dev-mode delegation through `src/cli/index.ts` (exit 0, `Usage: ocx restore
+  [back]`); claude disabled gate byte-identical to the parity expectation
+  (exit 1); `login zai` running native (key slice, not delegation).
+- **Dogfood switch** — `~/.local/ocx-dogfood/ocx` → `go/bin/ocx`, PATH
+  prepended in `~/.bashrc` (interactive shells now resolve `ocx` to the Go
+  binary, verified). Revert: delete the two trailing `.bashrc` lines, or call
+  `~/.bun/bin/ocx` explicitly. The npm install stays untouched.
+
+## Open observations during dogfood (gap list, to be filled by real use)
+
+- 42 Go-owned commands' daily feel (v2/claude/opencode/status/sync/…).
+- The 10 TS-owned standalone error paths — with the caveat that running
+  *inside the repo cwd* silently delegates to Bun (dev mode); only outside the
+  repo does the standalone error surface. First open question this raises:
+  should any of the 10 become native (which are actually needed standalone)?
+- Sidecar face: the artifact runs the CLI; the server face (`ocx start` via the
+  Go sidecar vs the TS server) has not been exercised as a daily surface.

+# Reopen the Go runtime line as an incremental sidecar takeover
+
+The `dev2-go` Go port was retired on 2026-07-30 because a parallel runtime line
+could not keep up with `dev` (594 commits of divergence) and kept producing silent
+dogfood defects. We reopen Go native work in a different shape: the backend migrates
+to Go as an incremental sidecar takeover — the Bun/TypeScript server stays the front
+door while a Go sidecar takes over routes one at a time, and the endpoint is a single
+static Go binary (server, CLI, and the embedded dashboard) with a byte-identical HTTP
+API and on-disk formats. The owner will maintain the Go side long-term, which is what
+makes the reopened line sustainable where the parallel line was not.
+
+## Considered options
+
+- **Parallel Go runtime line** — the `dev2-go` shape; rejected as already-failed.
+- **Rust via N-API incremental module** — the previously stated default; not chosen
+  because the owner prefers Go.
+- **Big-bang rewrite** — rejected; a single cutover cannot be verified against the
+  live TS oracle.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Fresh Go codebase; `archive/dev2-go` is reference material only, not a fork.
+- Parity is proven by a differential harness: the same request is run against the TS
+  and Go implementations and the responses (including SSE frame sequences) must match.
+- The Compatibility Lab migrates last and is an explicit cut candidate.
+- The flip to a single binary happens only at 100% differential parity; until then the
+  TypeScript CLI and server remain the operating surface.
+
+## Status update (2026-09-09): delivered, and the operating surface is now Go
+
+This ADR was written against the upstream (lidge-jun/opencodex) `dev` line. The Go
+line is implemented on the owner's fork (`waxiangzi/opencodex`, branch `dev-go`), which
+is since maintained as an independent release line; upstream is a future donation
+target, not the current integration base. The prose below that still reads as upstream
+"we" decisions should be read as fork-line decisions.
+
+Increment state on `dev-go` (fork tickets #1–#43, all closed):
+
+- The management read/write surface, hot path, non-streaming relay, WebSocket bridge,
+  SSE streaming relay, Lab routes, Go CLI scaffold + families, single-binary packaging
+  (#40), release pipeline (#42) and upgrade/rollback oracle (#43) are implemented with
+  their differential harnesses. The CLI surface is Go-owned for every oracle-able
+  command; the remainder is the explicit Bun-dependent list of ADR-0009.
+- The final consequence bullet above ("TypeScript CLI and server remain the operating
+  surface") no longer holds: with the #41 cutover (dev-go, 2026-09-07) the Go binary is
+  the release runtime. Release tags ship a TypeScript-free single-binary artifact, the
+  `go-release-artifacts` workflow gates the exact binaries, and the Bun/TypeScript
+  server remains the in-repo oracle the differential harness diffs against — not the
+  shipped surface.
+- The "100% differential parity" clause is superseded by ADR-0009's completion
+  definition (every oracle-able surface passes its oracle; the non-oracle-able surface
+  is the deliberate Bun-dependent list). ADR-0009 records the taxonomy; this ADR defers
+  to it.

+# Deferral oracle taxonomy and the Bun-dependent surface
+
+ADR-0008 requires the flip to a single Go binary to happen only at "100% differential parity". Reproduction evidence (`devlog/_plan/260908_go_flip_restore_uninstall_boundary/010_boundary_record.md`) shows several TypeScript-owned surfaces are structurally incapable of byte parity: interactive OAuth (login/setup), OS service-manager lifecycle (service/tray), network self-replace (update), coordinator writes with non-deterministic bytes (restore/uninstall/recover-history), and launchers whose env depends on live auth subsystems (claude/opencode). Applied literally, the 100%-parity clause makes the delegation seam permanent and the standalone-artifact acceptance (spec #7 story 4) unreachable, so every flip chases an unattainable end state.
+
+We decided (owner, 2026-09-08):
+
+1. **Oracle taxonomy.** An oracle may be T1 byte parity (the existing harness), T2 masked parity (same wall-clock window, with explicitly declared volatile fields masked), T3 golden fixture (offline stubbed server / fixed home / pinned catalog), T4 platform lane (a per-OS test lane), or T5 interactive subset (the non-interactive branches of an interactive command). Non-T1 acceptance is per-surface, explicit, and recorded in the deferral ledger's track — never a default.
+2. **Completion definition.** "100% differential parity" means every oracle-able surface passes its oracle. Surfaces that cannot be oracle-able form an explicit Bun-dependent list — the accepted end state, not an accident. The seam-removal target (#55) is re-scoped to shrink the ledger down to that list.
+3. **Deferral reasons must be cross-checked against the TypeScript code.** The v2 deferral claimed a byte-exact TOML reader/writer was needed; the code writes config.toml only through the upstream `codex features` CLI, so the writer half was overstated. A deferral reason that names a missing primitive must cite the TS-side evidence it was derived from.
+
+**Status**: accepted — supersedes the literal reading of ADR-0008's parity clause. A flip still never lands without its oracle; the difference is which oracle shapes qualify.
+
+**Fork-line addendum (2026-09-09)**: with the #41 cutover the Go binary is the fork's
+release runtime (ADR-0008 status update), so this taxonomy's Bun-dependent list is the
+10 TypeScript-owned commands a standalone Go binary cannot serve natively — they print
+the "needs the TypeScript lifecycle owner" delegation error unless `OCX_TYPESCRIPT_CLI`
+points at the full distribution. The list is the accepted end state on the standalone
+binary, exactly as #2 above intends; ADR-0008 now points here explicitly rather than
+carrying its own superseded parity clause.

+  the template chooser using one of `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` —
+  `bug_report.yml` (Bug report), `feature_request.yml` (Feature proposal),
+  `documentation.yml` (Documentation), or `provider_compatibility.yml`
+  (Provider or API compatibility) — and keep the form's `###` section headings
+  exactly as generated. The `enforce-issue-quality` gate closes freeform or
+  mismatched issues and blank issues are disabled, so a bare
+  `gh issue create --title … --body …` without the form headings will be
+  auto-closed. When scripting, reproduce the matching form's headings and
+  content in `--body` (or apply the matching kind label — `bug`, `enhancement`,
+  `documentation`, `provider-compatibility`).
+- **Read an issue**: `gh issue view <number> --comments`, filtering comments by `jq` and also fetching labels.
+- **List issues**: `gh issue list --state open --json number,title,body,labels,comments --jq '[.[] | {number, title, body, labels: [.labels[].name], comments: [.comments[].body]}]'` with appropriate `--label` and `--state` filters.
+- **Comment on an issue**: `gh issue comment <number> --body "..."`
+- **Apply / remove labels**: `gh issue edit <number> --add-label "..."` / `--remove-label "..."`
+- **Close**: `gh issue close <number> --comment "..."`
+
+## Pull requests as a triage surface
+
+**PRs as a request surface: no.** _(Set to `yes` if this repo treats external PRs as feature requests; `/triage` reads this flag.)_
+
+When set to `yes`, PRs run through the same labels and states as issues, using the `gh pr` equivalents:
+
+- **Read a PR**: `gh pr view <number> --comments` and `gh pr diff <number>` for the diff.
+- **List external PRs for triage**: `gh pr list --state open --json number,title,body,labels,author,authorAssociation,comments` then keep only `authorAssociation` of `CONTRIBUTOR`, `FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR`, or `NONE` (drop `OWNER`/`MEMBER`/`COLLABORATOR`).
+- **Comment / label / close**: `gh pr comment`, `gh pr edit --add-label`/`--remove-label`, `gh pr close`.
+
+GitHub shares one number space across issues and PRs, so a bare `#42` may be either — resolve with `gh pr view 42` and fall back to `gh issue view 42`.
+
+## When a skill says "publish to the issue tracker"
+
+Create a GitHub issue using a form template (see Conventions).
+
+## When a skill says "fetch the relevant ticket"
+
+Run `gh issue view <number> --comments`.
+
+## Wayfinding operations
+
+Used by `/wayfinder`. The **map** is a single issue with **child** issues as tickets.
+
+- **Map**: a single issue labelled `wayfinder:map`, holding the Notes / Decisions-so-far / Fog body. `gh issue create --label wayfinder:map`.
+- **Child ticket**: an issue linked to the map as a GitHub sub-issue (`gh api` on the sub-issues endpoint). Where sub-issues aren't enabled, add the child to a task list in the map body and put `Part of #<map>` at the top of the child body. Labels: `wayfinder:<type>` (`research`/`prototype`/`grilling`/`task`). Once claimed, the ticket is assigned to the driving dev.
+- **Blocking**: GitHub's **native issue dependencies** — the canonical, UI-visible representation. Add an edge with `gh api --method POST repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<child>/dependencies/blocked_by -F issue_id=<blocker-db-id>`, where `<blocker-db-id>` is the blocker's numeric **database id** (`gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<n> --jq .id`, _not_ the `#number` or `node_id`). GitHub reports `issue_dependencies_summary.blocked_by` (open blockers only — the live gate). Where dependencies aren't available, fall back to a `Blocked by: #<n>, #<n>` line at the top of the child body. A ticket is unblocked when every blocker is closed.
+- **Frontier query**: list the map's open children (`gh issue list --state open`, scoped to the map's sub-issues / task list), drop any with an open blocker (`issue_dependencies_summary.blocked_by > 0`, or an open issue in the `Blocked by` line) or an assignee; first in map order wins.
+- **Claim**: `gh issue edit <n> --add-assignee @me` — the session's first write.
+- **Resolve**: `gh issue comment <n> --body "<answer>"`, then `gh issue close <n>`, then append a context pointer (gist + link) to the map's Decisions-so-far.

+# Triage Labels
+
+The skills speak in terms of five canonical triage roles. This file maps those roles to the actual label strings used in this repo's issue tracker.
+
+| Label in mattpocock/skills | Label in our tracker | Meaning                                  |
+| -------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `needs-triage`             | `needs-triage`       | Maintainer needs to evaluate this issue  |
+| `needs-info`               | `needs-info`         | Waiting on reporter for more information |
+| `ready-for-agent`          | `ready-for-agent`    | Fully specified, ready for an AFK agent  |
+| `ready-for-human`          | `ready-for-human`    | Requires human implementation            |
+| `wontfix`                  | `wontfix`            | Will not be actioned                     |
+
+When a skill mentions a role (e.g. "apply the AFK-ready triage label"), use the corresponding label string from this table.
+
+Edit the right-hand column to match whatever vocabulary you actually use.

+# Go sidecar — ADR-0008 incremental takeover, first increment
+
+A fresh Go module under the nested `go/` tree (module
+`github.com/lidge-jun/opencodex/go`), per
+[`docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md`](../docs/adr/0008-go-runtime-incremental-takeover.md)
+and the first-increment plan in
+[`devlog/_plan/260905_go_sidecar_takeover/`](../devlog/_plan/260905_go_sidecar_takeover/).
+
+Nothing here is copied from `archive/dev2-go`; that archive is reference
+material only. This is a fresh codebase.
+
+## What lives here
+
+- `cmd/ocx-sidecar` — the sidecar binary. The TypeScript server spawns and
+  supervises it when the operator sets `OPENCODEX_GO_SIDECAR_BIN` to a built
+  binary path; it serves the declared Go-owned management read routes with
+  byte-identical HTTP semantics to the in-process TypeScript handlers. Which
+  routes are Go-owned is DATA, not code: the ownership markers (and each
+  route's volatile-field declaration) live in
+  `src/server/management/route-registry.ts`, and the single forwarding branch
+  in `src/server/management-api.ts` reads them before asking the sidecar.
+- `cmd/ocx` — the Go CLI scaffold (ticket #35) grown into the release
+  runtime: version, help, identity-attested local health / ready transport
+  commands, `start`/`stop` (flip, #41), and the embedded dashboard. Release
+  builds of `./cmd/ocx` are the TypeScript-free single-binary artifact (ticket
+  #42): `scripts/build-go-release-artifact.sh` stamps the package version via
+  `-ldflags` and embeds the Vite dashboard build, and the
+  `go-release-artifacts.yml` workflow verifies every release target with the
+  same script before `release.yml` attaches the binaries to a release tag.
+  The upgrade-in-place + rollback drill (ticket #43) runs the release-shaped
+  binary against the real TypeScript CLI on a shared home
+  (`tests/go-upgrade-rollback-drill.test.ts`): TS start → Go start reclaims
+  the port with the TS-settled config left byte-identical, Go stop releases
+  the home, and TS start takes it back with no reconfiguration.
+- `internal/sidecar` — the handler plus its unit tests. The JSON key order and
+  number formatting of each payload are part of the byte contract with the Bun
+  differential oracle (`tests/go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`).
+- `internal/config` — the shared Go config reader (ticket #16). It parses the
+  operator's `config.json` (OPENCODEX_HOME, defaulting to `~/.opencodex`)
+  exactly where the TypeScript runtime keeps it, so a Go-served read route
+  answers from the real on-disk state; route bodies are pure functions of the
+  subsection they read.
+- `internal/managementauth` — the Go management admission model (ticket #18):
+  admin-token, dashboard-session, and capability-principal validation
+  mirroring `src/server/management-auth.ts` and the `src/lib/*-contract.ts`
+  HMACs, including the replay stores and the exact 401/503 rejection bodies.
+  Substrate: the TS front door still admits every management request pre-flip;
+  this gate is what Go uses when it answers without that front door (write
+  batches #21–#23, authorization gate #26, flip).
+- `internal/labactivation` + `internal/routing/compatibility` — the Go
+  Compatibility Lab opt-in gate and the core-owned evidence-provider slot
+  (ticket #19), mirroring `src/lib/lab-activation.ts` and
+  `src/routing/compatibility/provider-slot.ts`. The gate reads the same
+  on-disk files the TS side reads (config.json routingProfiles,
+  lab/automation-config.json over the legacy automation-policy.json); the slot
+  registers only when the gate says the install uses Lab. Real Lab content
+  arrives with ticket #33.
+
+## Differential-oracle subcommands
+
+`ocx-sidecar authcheck <json>` evaluates admission vectors (request, state,
+config, local context) through the real Go gate and prints decisions; the Bun
+oracle (`tests/go-auth-parity.test.ts`) feeds the same arrays through
+`src/server/management-auth.ts` and compares byte for byte. `ocx-sidecar
+labcheck <configDir>` prints the Lab gate's three outputs for the Bun oracle
+(`tests/go-lab-gate-parity.test.ts`). Both are inert on the live path: the
+supervisor launches the sidecar with no arguments, so they only run when
+invoked directly.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+go -C go build ./cmd/ocx-sidecar
+go -C go vet ./...
+go -C go test ./...
+```
+
+The differential harness builds the binary itself with `CGO_ENABLED=0`; CI
+does the same (the `go` job in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`). The module has no
+external dependencies, so there is no `go.sum`.
+
+## Wire contract with the TypeScript parent
+
+- The parent passes the installed package version in `OCX_SIDECAR_VERSION`;
+  the sidecar reports it verbatim as the `version` field (fallback `0.0.0`).
+- After binding its loopback listener, the sidecar prints one readiness line on
+  stdout: `ocx-sidecar-ready http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. The parent waits for
+  this line before registering the route forwarder.
+- The migrated route's declared volatile fields are normalised by the
+  differential oracle and nothing else is: a later route cannot silently widen
+  what parity means. The declaration lives with the route in
+  `route-registry.ts`, not here. Today: `GET /api/system/health` declares
+  `["pid", "uptime"]` (the sidecar reports its own process values), and
+  `GET /api/shadow-call-settings` declares an EMPTY set — its body is a pure
+  function of `config.json`, so the oracle compares raw bytes with no
+  normalisation at all.
+
+## Config read routes (ticket #16)
+
+`GET /api/shadow-call-settings` is the first config read route served from Go.
+The sidecar reads the same `config.json` the TypeScript in-process handler's
+config snapshot came from (`internal/config`), then projects the
+`shadowCallIntercept` section through the same rules the TS handler applies
+(`shadowSourceModels` defaults, trim/non-empty filtering, `sci.model ?? ""`).
+The config is read per request; the sidecar carries no state. The in-process
+TS handler remains the fallback and the differential oracle, so a default
+install and a supervision blip behave byte-identically to a build without Go.

+// /api/custom-models returns `config.customModels ?? []`). JSON.stringify
+// preserves object key insertion order — which for a parsed config file is the
+// FILE's key order — and canonicalises whitespace. encoding/json's map-based
+// decoding discards key order, so a faithful echo needs a value tree that keeps
+// objects ordered. That order is exactly what the /api/config DTO projection
+// will also need when it is ported (provider entries keep their file order), so
+// this is the shared foundation, not a one-route hack.
+//
+// Numbers are kept as their raw JSON literal (json.RawMessage). A config file
+// written by the TypeScript runtime already contains JSON.stringify-canonical
+// numbers, so raw echo equals JavaScript output; only a hand-edited file with a
+// non-canonical literal (e.g. "1.0" where JavaScript would emit 1) diverges,

+Provider logo assets for the dashboard.
+
+Sources:
+
+- Existing baseline copied from `../cli-jaw/public/assets/providers`.
+- Additional candidates copied from `devlog/_plan/260705_provider-quota-dashboard/svg-candidates`.
+
+License/source notes for the additional candidates are recorded in
+`devlog/_fin/260705_provider-quota-dashboard/21_svg_candidates.md` and its
+`svg-candidates/manifest.json` (that unit has since closed, so the path is under
+`_fin/` rather than `_plan/`).
+
+Export-client marks (used by the API tab's connect rows, not the provider list):
+
+- `pi.svg` — fetched 2026-08-02 from `https://pi.dev/favicon.svg`, the Pi
+  project's own favicon, unmodified. Pi is `earendil-works/pi`
+  (formerly `badlogic/pi-mono`).
+- `opencode.svg` — part of the existing baseline above; the API tab reuses it as
+  the OpenCode export-client mark.
+- `oh-my-pi.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from `https://omp.sh/favicon.svg`, the Oh My Pi
+  project's own favicon, unmodified. Oh My Pi is `can1357/oh-my-pi`.
+- `openclaw.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from
+  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openclaw/openclaw/main/ui/public/favicon.svg`,
+  the OpenClaw project's own favicon, unmodified. OpenClaw is `openclaw/openclaw`.
+- `deepseek-harness.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from
+  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/master/website/public/favicon.svg`,
+  unmodified. DSH is first-party DeepSeek: they publish
+  `deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness` and scope its packages `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*`. This is
+  the harness's own mark, deliberately not the `deepseek-color.svg` provider logo.
+- `prime-agent.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from
+  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent/main/assets/brand/prime-butterfly.svg`,
+  unmodified (it carries its authoring editor's metadata). Prime Agent is
+  `PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent`. It has its own mark, so `pi.svg` is not reused for
+  it even though Prime reads Pi's config contract.
+- `zcode.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from
+  `https://z-cdn.chatglm.cn/z-ai/static/logo.svg`, Z.ai's own logo, unmodified (it
+  carries its authoring tool's generator comment).
+- `kimi-color.svg` — already in the baseline as a provider icon; the API tab reuses
+  it for the Kimi Code client, which is the same Moonshot AI brand.
+- `aside.svg` — extracted 2026-08-31 from the installed Aside application, module
+  `Contents/Frameworks/Aside Framework.framework/Versions/1.0.825.1/Libraries/AsideAgentManager/assets/official-brand-symbol-*.js`.
+  It is Aside's own brand symbol, named as such by the vendor and rendered by
+  Aside's onboarding, permission, and settings surfaces. The module is a compiled
+  React component rather than a file, so the single 24x24 `evenodd` path was
+  lifted verbatim into a standalone SVG with its original `viewBox` and its
+  `currentColor` fill; no path data was redrawn. Aside does not publish this mark
+  on the web (`aside.com/favicon.svg` is a 404), so the shipping application is
+  the first-party source.
+
+- `minimax.svg` — fetched 2026-08-31 from
+  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-01/main/figures/minimax.svg`,
+  MiniMax's own symbol as committed in their own model repository. The API-docs
+  asset (`mintcdn.com/minimax-zh/.../logo/light.svg`) is the 129x32 horizontal
+  lockup and was rejected: a wordmark in a 20px square is unreadable. This is the
+  publisher's mark — MiniMax Code ships none of its own — used for the `mcode`
+  client. Path data is verbatim; the Chinese-language `<title>` and layer-name
+  metadata the authoring tool left behind are removed, and the gradient id
+  `未命名的渐变_6` ("unnamed gradient 6") is renamed `minimax-wave` because a
+  non-ASCII id collides awkwardly across inlined documents.
+
+Two marks are TRACED rather than fetched. Their vendors publish no usable
+vector, and a trace that follows the source pixels is a truer mark than a
+monogram. What is still refused either way: a horizontal wordmark squeezed into
+this square slot, and a full-frame silhouette plate that renders as a filled box
+at 20px.
+
+- `hermes-agent.svg` — traced 2026-08-31 from
+  `NousResearch/hermes-agent` `apps/desktop/assets/icon.png` (574273 bytes,
+  1024x1024 RGBA), the icon the Hermes desktop application itself ships, so this
+  is the product's own mark. Two earlier candidates were rejected:
+  `website/static/img/favicon.svg` is 113 bytes and its entire body is one
+  `<text>` element with no path data, and `nousresearch.com/safari-pinned-tab.svg`
+  opens with the full 512-unit frame as its first path, so it renders as a black
+  square. Traced with
+  `potrace -s --flat --turdsize 8 --alphamax 1.0 --opttolerance 0.2` over the
+  mask `alpha > 128 AND mean(rgb) < 110`, which keeps the black artwork and
+  discards the light plate behind it. One path, `currentColor`, squared to
+  `viewBox="0 0 823 823"` by centering the 823x806 trace. Named
+  `hermes-agent` rather than `hermes` because Hermes is also a provider name
+  and this directory is one flat namespace.
+- `gajae-code.svg` — traced 2026-08-31 from `Yeachan-Heo/gajae-code`
+  `assets/character.png` (3190496 bytes, 1550x2048 RGBA), the mascot. No SVG
+  exists upstream: `assets/` and `docs/` hold only raster, `public/` is a 404,
+  the five plausible `logo.svg`/`favicon.svg` paths all 404, no published
+  `@gajae-code/*` tarball at 0.15.6 contains one, and `docs/brand-assets.md`
+  lists the marks as PNG. The source is a vertical lockup, so only the mascot is
+  traced — rows 1650-1682 are fully transparent, which is the seam the crop uses,
+  and the `gajae-code` wordmark below it is discarded. The artwork is upscaled
+  pixel art, so tracing at source resolution followed every staircase and gave a
+  1.3 MB file; downsampling to a 128px box (Lanczos, then a 0.6px Gaussian)
+  first gives ~31 KB. Seven color layers, k-means++ seeded at 3 so the
+  quantization is deterministic, painted largest-area first. The smallest layer
+  is 292 px and a fixed area floor would have dropped it — it is the visor
+  green, which is the feature that makes the character recognizable, so the
+  floor is a fraction of the opaque area instead.
+
+## How a mark is painted
+
+Provenance is not the only fact that has to survive a handoff. Every mark is
+drawn one of two ways, and picking wrong makes a logo vanish rather than look
+slightly off:
+
+- **image** — the `<svg>` is rendered as-is, keeping its own colors. Correct for
+  anything multi-color, and for a single ink that *is* the brand.
+- **mask** — the file is used as a shape and filled with the surrounding text
+  color, so it follows the theme. Correct for a neutral silhouette, which would
+  otherwise be invisible against one of the two surfaces.
+
+The set lives in `gui/src/components/integration-marks.ts`. It is derived from
+`MONOCHROME_CLIENT_MARKS` for export clients, plus `MASKED_NATIVE_MARKS` for rows
+that have no export client to be keyed by.
+
+Decisions that are not obvious from looking at the file:
+
+- `grok.svg` **is masked.** One `#000000` fill on transparency measured about
+  1.9:1 on the dark card surface (`rgb(48,48,48)`) — effectively gone. Masking
+  does not modify xAI's file; it reads it as a shape, which is how xAI renders it
+  on their own dark surfaces. 11.17:1 dark and 17.67:1 light afterwards.
+- `openai.svg` **is not masked**, despite also being a single fill. That fill is
+  #10A37F, OpenAI's brand green, and repainting it discards information a reader
+  uses to identify the mark. Neutrality is the test, not ink count.
+- `deepseek-harness.svg` **is not masked** for the same reason: #4d6bfe is
+  DeepSeek blue. Its dark-theme contrast is adequate; if it ever is not, the fix
+  is a surface change, not a repaint.
+- `hermes-agent.svg` **is masked.** The trace is one near-black path, so it is
+  invisible on `#0d1117` untinted. Nothing about the Hermes brand is carried by
+  that particular black.
+- `minimax.svg` and `gajae-code.svg` **are not masked.** A gradient wave and a
+  seven-layer mascot respectively; masking would flatten both to one ink.
+- `prime-agent.svg` **is masked.** White on transparency, so as an image it was
+  invisible in light mode. This one shipped broken.
+- `opencode.svg` (#211E1E) and `kimi-color.svg` (#1A1A1A) **are masked.** Both
+  near-black single inks, invisible in dark mode as images. Both shipped broken
+  too, which is what established the rule.
+- `aside.svg` **is masked.** It already paints with `currentColor`, so it would
+  follow the theme either way; masking keeps it consistent with the other
+  silhouettes rather than depending on inherited color.
+
+Both directions are enforced in `gui/tests/integration-marks.test.ts`, including a
+luminance check that fails any single-ink near-neutral mark left as an image. That
+direction was missing until it caught `grok`; the same class of defect had already
+shipped once for `prime`, `opencode` and `kimi`.
+
+## Provider marks (2026-09-01)
+
+Sourced for the providers that were rendering a coloured initial tile. Every
+entry below was fetched from the vendor's own domain, taken from the registry's
+`baseUrl`/`dashboardUrl` rather than guessed.
+
+Published as SVG and committed with only comments, `<title>`/`<desc>` and
+`data-name` attributes stripped:
+
+- `digitalocean.svg` — `digitalocean.com` favicon, 32x32.
+- `featherless.svg` — `featherless.ai/favicon.svg`, 256x256.
+- `kilo.svg` — `kilo.ai/favicon/favicon.svg`, 32x32. Keeps its `oklch()` plate.
+- `nanogpt.svg` — `nano-gpt.com/logo.svg`, 181x187, gradient.
+- `nebius.svg` — `nebius.com/favicon/favicon.svg`, 96x96.
+- `neuralwatt.svg` — the site's Webflow-hosted brand asset, 32x32.
+- `parallel.svg` — `parallel.ai/icon.svg`, 96x96.
+- `scaleway.svg` — `scaleway.com/favicon/website/favicon.svg`, 16x16.
+- `synthetic.svg` — `synthetic.new/favicon.svg`, 54x54.
+- `zai.svg` — `z-cdn.chatglm.cn/z-ai/static/logo.svg`, 30x30.
+- `zenmux.svg` — the site's CDN-hosted brand mark, 160x160.
+
+Traced from raster, because the vendor publishes no square SVG mark. Same
+technique as `hermes-agent.svg` and `gajae-code.svg`: `potrace -s --flat` for a
+single-ink silhouette, k-means colour layers (seeded at 3, largest area first)
+for multi-colour art, downsampled to a 160px box first so the trace does not
+follow every upscaled pixel edge.
+
+- `cerebras.svg`, `novita.svg`, `siliconflow.svg`, `deepinfra.svg` — single-ink.
+- `baseten.svg`, `hyperbolic.svg`, `sambanova.svg`, `umans.svg`, `venice.svg`,
+  `vultr.svg`, `bizrouter.svg`, `orcarouter.svg` — colour-layered.
+- `nous.svg` — traced from `nousresearch.com/apple-touch-icon.png` (180x180). This
+  is the Nous Research company mark, distinct from `hermes-agent.svg`, which is
+  the Hermes product's own icon. Attributing one to the other would be wrong even
+  though the same organization ships both.
+
+Found on a docs subdomain after the vendor's marketing site offered only a
+wordmark:
+
+- `together.svg` — `docs.together.ai/favicon.svg`, 1.07:1.
+- `litellm.svg` — `docs.litellm.ai/img/logo.svg`, 1:1. The marketing site's SVGs
+  are third-party model logos, not LiteLLM's own mark.
+
+**The plate problem, recorded because the first pass shipped it.** A favicon is
+usually a glyph on a filled rounded square. Tracing luminance alone captured the
+square and produced a solid box: `baseten` came out 97.7% ink, `bizrouter` 89.3%.
+The fix reads the border ring, takes its median colour as the plate when the ring
+is uniform, and masks by distance from that colour instead of by darkness. It
+found real plates behind `baseten` (#19e76e), `cerebras` (#ef5b27), `hyperbolic`
+(#1a1a1a), `umans`/`bizrouter` (#000000) and `orcarouter` (#ffffff).
+
+### Rejected, and why
+
+- **`nousresearch.com/safari-pinned-tab.svg`** — opens with the full 512-unit
+  frame as its first path, so it renders as a black square. This is the identical
+  candidate the Hermes client mark rejected. The apple-touch-icon was used instead.
+- **LiteLLM's marketing-site SVGs** — third-party model logos, and the favicon
+  traces to a muddy blob with no legible silhouette at 19px. The docs logo was
+  used instead.
+- **Wordmarks refused** for `cerebras` (843x320 from Sanity CDN), `siliconflow`
+  (188x28), `zhipu-bigmodel` (123x25), `vultr` (218x52), `baseten` (1001x151) and
+  `chutes` (192x30). A lockup in the rail's 19px box is an illegible smear, so
+  each was replaced by a traced square mark or left to the fallback.
+
+### Still unmarked, and what was searched
+
+Six ids keep the fallback tile. Each was probed at its registry `baseUrl` and
+`dashboardUrl`, plus the vendor's docs subdomain and the conventional icon paths
+(`/favicon.svg`, `/favicon.ico`, `/apple-touch-icon.png`, `/logo.svg`, `/icon.svg`):
+
+- `chutes` — `chutes.ai` and `docs.chutes.ai` serve only the 192x30 wordmark.
+- `nscale` — `nscale.com` and `docs.nscale.com` returned no icon at any path.
+- `volcengine`, `volcengine-coding-plan`, `volcengine-agent-plan` — the Ark
+  console's SVGs are UI glyphs rather than a product mark.
+- `tencent-coding-plan` — `cloud.tencent.com` serves a 32x32 favicon whose trace
+  is unreadable at 19px.
+
+These are recorded results, not skipped work. Inventing a mark, or borrowing a
+neighbouring brand's, is a misattribution that outlives the commit.
+
+`zhipu-bigmodel` and `zhipu-bigmodel-coding` share `zai.svg`: Z.AI and BigModel
+are the same company, and the mainland console publishes only the wordmark.
+
+## Meta (2026-09-03)
+
+- `meta.svg` — the `aria-label="Meta symbol"` inline SVG that `dev.meta.ai`
+  renders in its own navigation header, read 2026-09-03 through a signed-in
+  browser session. Meta publishes no square vector at the conventional paths:
+  `dev.meta.ai/favicon.svg`, `/icon.svg` and `/logo.svg` all 404, and the
+  site's declared icon is a 32x32 `.ico` on `static.xx.fbcdn.net`. The rendered
+  header mark is therefore the first-party vector, taken from the developer
+  console the two providers actually belong to.
+
+  Path data and gradient stops are verbatim. Three normalizations: React's
+  generated gradient ids (`_r_d_`, `_r_e_`, `_r_f_`) become
+  `meta-mark-a/-b/-c`, because a generated id collides when several marks are
+  inlined into one document — the same reason `minimax.svg` renamed its
+  `未命名的渐变_6`; the presentational `height`/`width`/`role`/`aria-label`
+  are dropped in favour of the `viewBox`; and `xmlns` is added so the file
+  stands alone.
+
+  Wired to both `meta-model` (the direct Meta Model API provider) and
+  `meta-muse` (the Muse Code credential import). One brand, two credentials —
+  the same shape as the three Alibaba ids sharing `alibaba-color.svg`.
+  **Not masked:** three linear gradients in Meta brand blue
+  (#0064E0 -> #0278F1), and masking flattens a gradient to a single ink.

+// Package jsonwire implements the JSON value model the Go hot-path relay
+// needs to reproduce TypeScript's byte behaviour when it re-serialises a
+// parsed Responses payload (ticket #27, devlog 036).
+//
+// The hard requirement is that re-encoding a parsed value emits exactly what
+// ECMAScript JSON.stringify would emit, because the TS oracle re-serialises a
+// repaired upstream body with JSON.stringify and the differential compares raw
+// client-visible bytes:
+//
+//   - Object keys keep document order (encoding/json maps would discard it).
+//   - Strings are escaped exactly like V8: quotes/backslashes and the five
+//     control shortcuts, \u00xx for other controls, and everything above

+// Package labactivation reproduces the Compatibility Lab opt-in activation
+// gate (ADR-0008, ticket #19). It mirrors src/lib/lab-activation.ts: an
+// install "uses" the Lab when any routing profile exists in config.json OR Lab
+// automation is enabled on disk under <configDir>/lab/automation-config.json
+// (with automation-policy.json as the legacy fallback). The TypeScript
+// composition root calls labActivationRequired before it activates Lab; the
+// equivalent Go decision must answer identically from the same on-disk state,
+// which is what the differential oracle (tests/go-lab-gate-parity.test.ts)
+// proves against fixture directories.
+//
+// This package is the seam, not the Lab: it imports no Lab content. The
+// provider-slot seam lives in go/internal/routing/compatibility, and nothing
+// in the module tree except a future composition root (the flip, ticket #41)
+// or a test registers an evidence provider through it. Until the Lab batch
+// (ticket #33) lands real Go Lab content, "a no-Lab user executes no Lab code
+// in Go" holds because no Go package imports Lab content at all, and it stays
+// machine-checkable by the absence of any importer of this package outside
+// tests (go list -deps ./... shows only the sidecar's own read-route core,
+// which imports neither this package nor the slot).

+// inputs (request headers, the local context's attestation secret/pid/port);

+// (src/cli/gui.ts + the dispatch openDefaultGui wiring + src/cli/gui-pair-client.ts)

+// ocx sync / ocx sync-cache — native catalog-refresh flip (issue #50).
+//
+// This file ports the deterministic core of the TypeScript command runners
+// (src/cli/dispatch.ts "sync" and "sync-cache") so both commands dispatch
+// natively in the Go binary:
+//
+//   - runSync reproduces every terminal state byte-identically: client-state
+//     refusals, the injection preflight failure when CODEX_HOME/config.toml is
+//     absent (ON), and the catalog-only "no source" skip (OFF). A state that
+//     would require the full provider-discovery refresh (a readable catalog
+//     source, a present config.toml, or a connected client) falls back to the
+//     TypeScript engine through the existing Delegate seam, because that
+//     engine's output is environment-bound (live provider fetches, the bundled
+//     Codex runtime subprocess) and cannot be re-implemented byte-faithfully.
+//
+//   - runSyncCache is fully native: every outcome is a pure function of files
+//     on disk and the config toggle. It mirrors the K write-lock acquisition
+//     (withCatalogWriteSerialization), the OFF/contended/no-catalog taxonomy,
+//     the V8-exact --json envelope, and the on-disk models_cache bytes
+//     (JSON.stringify(v, null, 2) over the parsed catalog models), so a cache
+//     written by the Go CLI is byte-compatible with one the TS CLI writes and
+//     rollback stays possible.
+//
+// The post-write app-server warning/restart path (src/codex/app-server-processes.ts)
+// is ported for Linux /proc enumeration and treated as a no-op elsewhere; in a
+// fixture environment no Codex app-server processes run, so both runtimes are

+// rows therefore cover config.toml shapes where the two readers agree —

+// (multi_agent_v2.enabled) and inline forms, single-line basic/literal strings
+// including `#` inside the value and `\U` escapes, and `[agents]` scalars with
+// underscore digit separators. Documents only a full TOML parse can read
+// correctly (quoted headers, values spanning lines inside a table, multiline

+// Direct non-streaming provider relay for the data-plane seam (ticket #27,
+// devlog 036). When the operator has turned the relay on
+// (OPENCODEX_GO_HOTPATH_RELAY, Config.HotPathRelay) and a request qualifies,
+// the sidecar replaces the #24 private parent bridge with a direct upstream
+// relay for ONE provider class: a key-mode `openai-responses` provider whose
+// Responses wire needs no translation. Non-streaming requests can use the
+// whole-body repair below; streaming requests qualify only when their selected
+// provider needs no stream-time rewrite. Everything else stays on the bridge
+// so the TypeScript pipeline remains the oracle.
+//
+// The relay reproduces what the TS pipeline does for the qualifying subset,
+// byte for byte (verified against the TS oracle):
+//
+//   - outbound: POST <openaiResponsesUrl(baseUrl)>/v1/responses with the seam
+//     request body verbatim, content-type application/json, and the provider
+//     Authorization when an env/literal apiKey resolves;
+//   - response: 2xx JSON bodies get the whole-body field backfill
+//     (responses_repair.go) and re-serialisation only when a field changed;
+//     non-JSON 2xx and non-empty non-2xx bodies are relayed verbatim with the
+//     upstream content-type; a valid upstream Retry-After is preserved and an
+//     invalid one dropped.
+//
+// Deliberately NOT ported (documented seam-period divergence, routing ticket
+// #30 territory): pre-stream retry loops, synthetic 429 Retry-After defaults,
+// quota/cyber-policy classification, and empty-body error envelopes.

+ * and return its Response; return null when there is nothing to forward (not
+ * attached, not reachable, a supervision blip, or a non-2xx upstream) so the
+ * caller serves the in-process handler exactly as before. The try/catch lives
+ * here so the guarantee belongs to the mechanism instead of being restated by
+ * every caller.
+ *
+ * Dispatch decides WHICH requests reach this slot: `management-api.ts` first
+ * looks up the route in the declared Go-owned surface (`route-registry.ts`) and

+ * Optional Go sidecar supervision for the first incremental-takeover seam
+ * (ADR-0008, devlog/_plan/260905_go_sidecar_takeover).
+ *
+ * The TypeScript front door keeps owning dispatch for every management route;
+ * this module spawns, supervises, and forwards declared Go-owned management routes to a fresh Go
+ * binary (`go/cmd/ocx-sidecar`) that serves them with byte-identical HTTP semantics.
+ * Which routes are forwarded is DATA, not code: the ownership markers live in
+ * `src/server/management/route-registry.ts`, and `management-api.ts` consults them
+ * before asking this module's forwarder. The Go body carries the sidecar's own pid and
+ * uptime; status, service, and version equal the TypeScript values because the parent
+ * passes the package version at spawn time.
+ *
+ * Strictly optional and default-OFF. A process that never activates the
+ * sidecar (no `OPENCODEX_GO_SIDECAR_BIN`) executes no spawn and imports no
+ * runtime state beyond this module's own: core route files consult the
+ * core-owned slot in `./go-sidecar-slot.ts`, which is empty unless this module
+ * registered its forwarder at activation (the AGENTS.md optional-subsystem
+ * pattern, same shape as `passive-route-linker.ts`).
+ *
+ * The supervision model is deliberately small for the first increments: spawn,
+ * wait for the ready line, register the forwarder, and on an unexpected child
+ * exit deregister (falling back to the in-process TypeScript handler) and log.
+ * There is no respawn loop yet; that is a later increment once the seam has
+ * live evidence.

+- Bun-native TypeScript on `dev` is the only runtime line today; it is being migrated to Go as an

+  native-runtime experiment (`dev2-go`) is retired and archived at `lidge-jun/opencodex-go-archive`;

 - `devlog/` is a tracked directory in this repository — no submodule, no private mirror. Open units
   live in `devlog/_plan/`, closed units in `devlog/_fin/`, and external parity references in

+ * Differential oracle for the Go management auth/session model (ADR-0008,

+ *
+ * The acceptance criterion is that Go validates the admin token, dashboard
+ * session, and capability principals with under-privileged requests rejected
+ * identically to TypeScript. This harness feeds the same ordered arrays of
+ * request vectors through src/server/management-auth.ts (in-process) and
+ * through the `ocx-sidecar authcheck` subcommand (one Go process per array, so
+ * the capability replay stores persist across the array exactly like the TS
+ * module-level stores), then compares the admission decisions byte for byte:
+ * the principal when admitted, and the exact status + JSON body when rejected.
+ *
+ * The vectors exercise every principal and every rejection shape: valid and
+ * tampered capabilities for all four capability contracts, wrong pid/expiry/
+ * method/query/body-shape variants, admin-token equality through both header
+ * spellings, dashboard sessions with origin/CSRF/expiry outcomes (the
+ * session-level admission reason is probed too), and the 503 unavailable path.

+/**
+ * Live-provider hot-path differential (ticket #34).
+ *
+ * The fixture-upstream suites (go-hotpath-relay, go-hotpath-relay-streaming)
+ * prove byte parity against replies this repo fabricates. This suite closes
+ * the remaining gap: the same differential run against a REAL provider
+ * gateway, so both implementations are exercised on responses neither was
+ * tuned to. The gateway serves the OpenAI Responses wire format
+ * (`/v1/responses`, SSE streaming included).
+ *
+ * Real responses are non-deterministic where fixture replies are not:
+ * response/item ids, timestamps, token usage, and encrypted reasoning blobs
+ * differ on every call. The differential therefore compares each capture
+ * after normalising exactly those declared-volatile fields — everything else
+ * (event types, item ordering, output text, status, content types) must be
+ * identical between the TypeScript oracle and the armed Go relay.
+ *
+ * The id fold is defensive rather than evidence-bearing: the plain backfill
+ * path mints deterministic, scope-less `msg_ocx_<index>` ids on both sides,
+ * and this suite never arms stateful item-id repair (stream-time repairs are
+ * gated to the Bun bridge, so arming would break the UA path-ownership claim),
+ * so the scoped-id branch (`msg_ocx_<scope>_<index>` → `msg_ocx_SCOPE_<index>`)
+ * only fires for a future Responses-compatible gateway that serves scoped ids
+ * while armed. The stateful-repair scope bytes themselves (TypeScript randomUUID
+ * vs Go crypto/rand hex) are contractually compared elsewhere — by
+ * deepseek-responses-item-id-repair.test.ts and the go-hotpath-relay tools
+ * case — not by this suite (#31 note).
+ *
+ * The upstream User-Agent still proves path ownership: the TS oracle must
+ * never present Go's client UA, and relay-admitted requests must.
+ *
+ * Opt-in by reachability: the suite skips entirely when the gateway (or the
+ * Go toolchain) is unavailable, so CI environments without the LAN gateway
+ * lose nothing. Point OCX_LIVE_GATEWAY_URL at any Responses-compatible
+ * upstream to run it elsewhere.

+/**
+ * Streaming differential harness for the ADR-0008 hot-path seam (ticket #24,
+ * devlog 034). The TypeScript pipeline is the live oracle, exactly as it is for
+ * the management surface: server A runs the data plane in-process, server B
+ * runs the same request through the Go seam (front door → sidecar → private
+ * bridge → in-process pipeline), and the harness compares the client-visible
+ * ordered SSE frame sequence.
+ *
+ * The declared volatile set is DATA, mirroring `go.volatileFields` on the
+ * management side. For this fixture it is empty (raw frame identity) plus the
+ * per-request `x-request-id` response header, which every front door mints per
+ * request and therefore legitimately differs between A and B. Nothing else is
+ * forgiven: a dropped, reordered, duplicated or rewritten frame fails the
+ * differential, and the harness proves the failure mode on a deliberately
+ * mutated capture.
+ *
+ * Skipped where the Go toolchain is unavailable (same guard as
+ * `go-sidecar-parity.test.ts`); CI installs Go and runs the oracle.

+/**
+ * ADR-0008 read/write ownership split and batch-migration plumbing (ticket #14).
+ *
+ * Two things are pinned here, and they are deliberately different in kind:
+ *
+ * 1. REGISTRY INVARIANTS — the typed `go` ownership marker lives only on read
+ *    routes (the discriminated union in route-registry.ts refuses it on a write
+ *    route at compile time; these tests re-check at runtime), every Go-owned
+ *    route declares a duplicate-free volatile set for the differential oracle
+ *    (EMPTY when the route is strict: its body is a pure function of shared
+ *    state and must be byte-identical with no normalisation), and the derived
+ *    GO_OWNED_MANAGEMENT_ROUTES view stays in lockstep with the markers in
+ *    MANAGEMENT_ROUTES.
+ *
+ * 2. DISPATCH BEHAVIOUR — one forwarding branch, driven by the registry data
+ *    (not by per-route code), serves declared Go-owned routes from the sidecar
+ *    and falls through to the in-process handlers for everything else and for
+ *    every supervision state. These tests install a FAKE forwarder directly
+ *    into the core-owned slot, so they exercise the full management dispatch
+ *    without needing a Go toolchain or a spawned child: "declared marker"
+ *    decides what is forwarded, never the forwarder itself.
+ *
+ * The batch-migration consequence: adding the next read route is a marker flip
+ * in route-registry.ts plus a Go handler plus oracle coverage — the dispatch
+ * edit is already written, once, and test 7 pins that it names no route.

+/**
+ * Differential oracle for the ADR-0008 Go sidecar (devlog/_plan/260905_go_sidecar_takeover).
+ *
+ * The TS in-process handlers and the Go ocx-sidecar must agree on status,
+ * headers, and the body for every declared Go-owned route. The per-route
+ * volatile set from src/server/management/route-registry.ts (the
+ * `go.volatileFields` marker) is exactly what may legitimately differ — and it
+ * may be EMPTY, which declares a strict route whose raw bytes must be equal
+ * with no normalisation at all (a pure config read, e.g.
+ * /api/shadow-call-settings). Nothing outside the declared set is ever
+ * forgiven, so a later route cannot silently widen what parity means.
+ *
+ * The divergence class this pins is the one that sank dev2-go: Go runtime
+ * numbers rendered under JavaScript labels, or a shape that merely looks like
+ * the TS response. The assertion is byte identity of the wire bodies after the
+ * declared normalisation (or raw byte identity for strict routes with an empty
+ * volatile set) — a JSON re-parse would forgive key-order drift and
+ * float-formatting drift that a byte compare catches.
+ *
+ * The harness needs the Go toolchain to build the sidecar, and boots two real
+ * servers. Where `go` is unavailable (a contributor machine without Go), the
+ * whole file skips with a visible reason; CI installs Go (see the `go` job and
+ * the setup-go steps in .github/workflows/ci.yml), so the oracle runs there.

+/**
+ * Upgrade-in-place + rollback drill (ADR-0008 spec #7 stories 11–12, ticket #43).
+ *
+ * The two subprocess drills prove the release-shaped Go binary (`./cmd/ocx`,
+ * built with the release build's meaningful flags: CGO_ENABLED=0, from the
+ * same `./cmd/ocx` package the release script compiles) can take over a home
+ * the last-TypeScript-release CLI created, and that the TypeScript CLI can
+ * take the same home back after the Go runtime released it. Both directions
+ * must hold with no reconfiguration and no state loss.
+ *
+ * The last-TypeScript-release side is the REAL TypeScript CLI in this checkout
+ * (src/cli/index.ts under Bun), the same process shape the pre-flip release
+ * shipped. The Go side is a freshly built static `ocx` binary named exactly
+ * `ocx`, because the runtime identity matcher accepts a standalone `ocx`/
+ * `opencodex` token — a differently named binary would be refused as a foreign
+ * process (#34 command-line identity guard), which is itself a contract this
+ * drill would then trip over.
+ *
+ * Harness constraints learned from the probe (do not regress these):
+ *  - NEVER run `ocx stop` through Bun.spawnSync: the synchronous wait blocks
+ *    Bun's event loop, so the Go child's zombie is not reaped and `ocx stop`'s
+ *    bounded liveness poll sees a zombie that outlives its 8s deadline,
+ *    reporting a false "did not exit". Stop through an async spawn and await
+ *    it while the event loop stays live.
+ *  - Bun's `child.exited` promise resolves before the process is actually
+ *    gone in this environment. Process liveness must be judged with kill(2)
+ *    (kill -0) or /proc, never `exited !== null`.
+ *  - The Go runtime must be spawned with `stdio: "ignore"` (or consumed
+ *    continuously): its stdout stays open for the whole server lifetime, so a
+ *    buffered pipe never EOFs and `Response(child.stdout).text()` hangs.
+ *
+ * The drills spawn real listeners on loopback ports in isolated temp homes and
+ * are therefore network- and process-intense; they run in CI's go-job
+ * "Differential oracles" step with the 60s per-file timeout.
+ *
+ * POSIX-only: the process probes use `kill -0` and the health probe uses
+ * `curl`, neither of which the Windows full-suite lane provides. The whole
+ * file skips when the Go toolchain is absent; that gate is about Go, not the
+ * platform, so win32 also skips explicitly.

+ * Write-surface authorization differential oracle (ticket #26, seam 3 — devlog 035).
+ *
+ * Spec #3 story 4: a write route must never be Go-owned before its
+ * authorization is proven. The batch tests prove the relay happy path and the
+ * claim machinery; ticket #18 proves the Go gate on generic vectors. Neither
+ * proves that the *migrated write surface's own* method/path pairs reject and
+ * admit identically — which is the contract the flip consumes when the Go gate
+ * becomes the front door for exactly these routes.
+ *
+ * This oracle feeds the same vectors through `src/server/management-auth.ts`
+ * (in-process) and through `ocx-sidecar authcheck` (one Go process per case,
+ * exactly like go-auth-parity), over every declared Go-owned write route:
+ *
+ *  - no credential  -> rejected, bytes identical
+ *  - wrong token    -> rejected, bytes identical
+ *  - admin token    -> admitted as the same principal
+ *  - a valid system-restart capability aimed at the write route's own
+ *    method/path (not /api/system/restart) -> rejected identically, proving a
+ *    capability principal minted elsewhere cannot cross onto the write surface
+ *
+ * The declared route set drives the loop (plus the existing 12-route pin), so
+ * adding a Go-owned write route without an authorization vector fails here.
