fix(codex): restore unprobeable launcher on shim rollback - #1625
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe shim now uses atomic no-replacement backup moves, direct file and symlink fingerprints, private wrapper staging, and immediate rollback after fresh-install errors. Tests cover cross-platform races, dangling entries, fingerprint failures, wrapper replacement, and rollback validation. ChangesShim installation and rollback
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The rollback path now depends on a lazily compiled native helper, but Linux musl compatibility and long Windows-path handling remain unresolved; affected users could see failed installs or rollback errors. Merge should wait for those platform risks to be fixed or explicitly accepted by maintainers. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 1846-1848: Replace the separate pathEntryExists check and
renameSync operation with an atomic no-replace move for the supported platforms,
failing closed when that operation is unavailable; do not use Bun.rename. Update
the backup flow around target.backupPath and renameSync so concurrent creation,
including a dangling backup entry, cannot be overwritten, and add a regression
test covering that interleaving.

1854-1858: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winOne condition, two failure shapes: refusal message versus thrown
EEXIST.An occupied backup entry now reaches callers in two different ways:
- Detected at line 1855, the function returns
{ installed: false, message: "Refusing to overwrite existing backup: …" }.- Detected by
renameNoReplaceat line 1871, the function throws aNodeJS.ErrnoExceptionwithcode === "EEXIST".Both outcomes describe the same user-visible situation, and the only difference is timing.
tests/codex-shim.test.tsencodes both shapes: line 479 asserts the thrownEEXIST, and the refusal-message assertions live in the 903-1028 range. Every caller ofinstallCodexShimmust therefore handle a returned refusal and a thrown errno for one condition.Translate the race-detected
EEXISTinto the same refusal result so the caller contract stays single-shaped. Keep every otherrenameNoReplacefailure as a throw, because those are genuinely exceptional.♻️ Proposed refactor: normalize the occupied-backup outcome
try { if (existsSync(target.originalPath)) { codexShimFreshBackupHookForTests?.(target, index); - renameNoReplace(target.originalPath, target.backupPath); + try { + renameNoReplace(target.originalPath, target.backupPath); + } catch (error) { + if (fileErrorCode(error) === "EEXIST") { + occupiedBackupPath = target.backupPath; + } + throw error; + } entry.originalMovedToBackup = true;Then, after rollback succeeds at line 1912, return the refusal result instead of rethrowing when
occupiedBackupPathis set:if (occupiedBackupPath) { return { installed: false, message: `Refusing to overwrite existing backup: ${occupiedBackupPath}` }; }Note that this changes the assertion at
tests/codex-shim.test.tsline 479 from a thrownEEXISTto a returned refusal message.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Around line 18-29: Update the Windows nativeRenameNoReplace path to normalize
absolute drive paths with the \\?\ prefix and UNC paths with the \\?\UNC\ prefix
before passing them to MoveFileW, while leaving other path forms unchanged. In
errorCode(), map Windows error 206 (ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE) to ENAMETOOLONG.
- Around line 61-77: Add concise comments in the rename-no-replace
implementation documenting the platform-specific constants, including AT_FDCWD,
RENAME_NOREPLACE, macOS RENAME_EXCL, and the errno mappings used by errorCode.
Explicitly distinguish overlapping value 17 between POSIX errno and Win32 error
codes without changing the existing behavior.
- Around line 30-41: Update the Linux backend in the renameNoReplace
implementation to support musl by adding a direct, ABI-correct renameat2 syscall
path with architecture-specific syscall numbers, rather than relying only on
dlopen("libc.so.6"). Preserve the existing libc backend where available and
retain the fail-closed ENOTSUP behavior when the platform or syscall is
unsupported.
In `@tests/codex-shim.test.ts`:
- Line 6: Add a focused unit-test suite for the shared renameNoReplace helper,
covering NUL-byte rejection as EINVAL, unsupported-platform or -1 results as
ENOTSUP, missing sources as ENOENT, occupied destinations as EEXIST, and
preservation of error.path and error.dest. Use temporary directories and isolate
the helper directly rather than routing through installCodexShim.
- Around line 494-529: Add an assertion in the test using installCodexShim to
verify that join(home, "codex-shim.json") does not exist after the EEXIST
reservation failure, matching the no-publish checks in the neighboring tests
while preserving the existing launcher and dangling-symlink assertions.
- Around line 531-564: Update the test hook passed to
setCodexShimFreshBackupHookForTests so it identifies the intended codex.ps1
target from its target argument rather than relying on index === 1, and derive
the corresponding backup path from that target. Keep the contention focused on
the middle target to preserve partial-transaction rollback coverage, and assert
the expected error code as in the neighboring tests.

The latest head addresses the actionable review history. This is nevertheless not a release-day patch. It introduces a new lazily compiled C/FFI execution path into shim installation and rollback across five files and 843 additions, and it deliberately relies on experimental Keep this draft until the native-module design receives maintainer security/release approval and exact-head packaged invocation CI proves Linux glibc, Linux musl, macOS, and supported Windows behavior. This is a reasonable follow-up release candidate, not a dependency for today's cut. DISPOSITION: DEFER |

The helper is a narrow incremental native module compiled lazily by the bundled Bun, not a second runtime line. However, Bun documents
bun:ffi cc()as experimental and recommends Node-API for production native integration. This PR intentionally stays draft until maintainers choose whether this small fail-closed use is acceptable and the required platform runs exercise the packaged helper. If not, a prebuilt N-API module should be a separate contribution rather than expanding this rollback PR.Checklist
