📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe shim installer now fingerprints paths directly, including symlink targets. Fresh installation and rollback use these fingerprints to validate launcher state. A Unix test covers fingerprinting failure for an empty launcher and verifies restoration and cleanup. ChangesShim fingerprint validation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to Fresh Unix shim rollback can fail to recognize a dangling-symlink backup, leaving the original launcher unavailable at its expected path. Merge should wait for this edge case to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

and the target.backupPath entry to inspect the path without following symlinks,
using lstatSync or the existing equivalent. Ensure dangling symlinks are
detected and an unfingerprintable backup is treated as validation failure rather
than skipped, preserving the existing fingerprint comparison for valid entries.

Bun node:fs existsSync dangling symlink behavior lstatSync
💡 Result:
In Bun, the behavior of fs.existsSync and fs.lstatSync regarding symbolic links is consistent with Node.js [1][2]. fs.existsSync The fs.existsSync function checks for the existence of a file by following symbolic links [3]. If a path is a dangling (broken) symbolic link—meaning the symlink itself exists, but its target does not—fs.existsSync will return false [4]. Because it follows the link to the target, it effectively tests for the existence of the target, not the symlink itself [3]. fs.lstatSync The fs.lstatSync function does not follow symbolic links [5]. It retrieves the file status (metadata) of the symbolic link itself [6][7]. Therefore, if you use lstatSync on a dangling symbolic link, it will successfully return an fs.Stats object for the link itself, rather than throwing an error or attempting to access the missing target [5][6]. You can confirm a path is a symbolic link using the isSymbolicLink method on the returned stats object [5][8]. Summary for Differentiating To determine if a path is a dangling symlink, you can combine these two behaviors: if lstatSync succeeds (indicating the path exists) but existsSync returns false (indicating the target is missing), the path is a dangling symbolic link [4].

Detect backup entries without following symlinks.
At src/codex/shim.ts:840-843, existsSync() returns false for a dangling symlink in Bun. The rollback then skips the backup, leaving the original launcher at target.backupPath. Use lstatSync() to detect the entry and treat an unfingerprintable backup as a validation failure.

Motivation
codexlauncher to a backup before a content probe completed, and if the content probe returnednull(zero-length/unreadable) rollback would refuse to restore the backup and leave the launcher stranded.Description
shimPathFingerprint(path)to capture a metadata-only fingerprint (including symlink target metadata) that does not depend on reading the file contents.entry.movedOriginalFingerprintbefore running the heavier contentstableShimPathProbevalidation.rollbackFreshShimInstallto validate the staged backup against the recorded metadata fingerprint (viashimPathFingerprint) instead of requiring a successful content probe, and keep the content probe for the stricter validation step to detect mid-probe changes.Unix fresh install restores an original that cannot be content-probedthat exercises a zero-length executable launcher and verifies the original is restored and no shim state is published.Testing
bun run typecheckwhich completed without type errors.bun test tests/codex-shim.test.ts -t "Unix fresh install restores an original that cannot be content-probed"which passed.bun test tests/codex-shim.test.tsand observed the new test and most related shim tests passing while two unrelated process-group/timeout assertions failed in this environment due to probe process group termination behavior; the failures are environment-specific diagnostics and not regressions in the introduced logic.Codex Task
