📝 Summary

  • Wait for explicit probe readiness before starting the one-second EOF assertion; bound startup separately at ten seconds.
  • Preserve the merged bug(tests): Codex stdin probe reads marker before its contents are published #2072 publication barrier, exact EOF validation, open parent stdin pipe, and adapter exit checks.
  • Cover delayed startup and rejection of inherited input, including unterminated data and an open pipe; normalize the publication-release path for Windows Bash.

📂 Changes

File Change
plugin/codex_unix_user_prompt_test.go Readiness synchronization, startup regression, real Bash input controls, and portable publication barrier integration.

🧪 Test Plan

Windows, Go 1.26.4, with command-scoped reviewed executable selectors:

export CODEX_TEST_TRUSTED_BASH='C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/bash.exe'
export CODEX_TEST_TRUSTED_JQ='C:/Users/Blackie/scoop/apps/jq/1.8.2/jq.exe'
  • Original RED on exact then-current remote main b5c036532c1924888e4c4bdd4305325e16f7c59e: go test ./plugin -run '^TestCodexUnixUserPromptSubmitDetachesPromptPersistenceStdin$' -count=1 -v -timeout=120s — exit 1, missing-marker deadline.
  • Delayed-startup regression RED before readiness correction; unterminated-data control RED before strict input rejection.
  • Final focused GREEN on candidate afa6938d3c736ad8d3d6ea23fc8b4bee035f15ee over merged main 171bfda37ecea77724b93681fb6c015f869b55eb:
    go test ./plugin -run '^(TestCodexUnixUserPromptSubmitDetachesPromptPersistenceStdin|TestCodexUnixUserPromptSubmitStdinProbeWaitsForStartup|TestCodexPromptStdinProbeRejectsInheritedInput|TestCodexPromptStdinProbeResult|TestClaudeHookResponseValidation)$' -count=1 -v -timeout=120s — PASS, 14.164s.
  • Affected package: go test ./plugin -count=1 -timeout=10m — PASS, 345.547s.
  • Structural check: git diff --check and staged equivalent — PASS.

Earlier failures are preserved: before merging #2093, the full package failed Claude CRLF validation. After integrating #2094, focused tests exposed backslash paths breaking the fixture's Bash parent-directory check; normalizing the release path fixed that failure without increasing EOF deadlines. The final results above include both merged fixes.

Linux, actual jq 1.6, the full module suite, E2E, and hosted CI were not executed locally for this candidate. The jq 1.6 emulation branch explicitly skips on Windows. No skipped check is represented as passing.

💬 Notes for Reviewers

The original observer budget included project resolution, native identity resolution, and serialization before the stdin probe could start. This change separates that startup from EOF verification; a read timeout never counts as EOF. It does not claim a production stdin defect.

The existing empty-publication regression and result table remain intact. Only the test file changes: 145 additions, 49 deletions.

Risk: none — private test code only; no shared production code changed. Native assessment with RDD off required writer self-verification only; no native review approval is claimed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded automated coverage for prompt submission across normal and delayed startup conditions, including empty input, terminated and unterminated input, inherited input, and streams that remain open.
    • Added separate bounded checks for startup readiness and input reading, with validation that results are not published before the observer allows completion. These tests improve confidence in prompt handling across different timing and stream conditions.

Separate bounded startup from the EOF assertion so Windows setup does not consume the stdin-check deadline. Preserve the publication barrier and reject inherited input.

Walkthrough

The Codex stdin tests now wait for probe readiness separately from probe completion. They cover standard and delayed startup, EOF, inherited input, and an open stdin pipe.

Changes: Codex stdin probe tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe readiness and result synchronization
plugin/codex_unix_user_prompt_test.go
The test harness adds a readiness marker and bounded waits for probe readiness and result publication. The probe reads stdin and publishes its result after the release marker is created.
Probe input and startup scenarios
plugin/codex_unix_user_prompt_test.go
Tests cover delayed startup, EOF, terminated and unterminated inherited input, and an open pipe that does not publish a result before EOF.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#2091] The reviewed test code waits for PROMPT_STDIN_READY with a 10-second startup budget before it starts the one-second result budget. The probe writes readiness immediately before read -r. The observer treats a timeout as an error and requires the exact eof result. The test keeps the parent stdin pipe open and checks adapter exit. The inherited-input tests cover terminated data, unterminated data, and an open pipe. The delayed-startup test exceeds the former one-second window. The PR reports passing focused and affected-package tests. No Windows skip or deadline-only workaround is present.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR changes only plugin/codex_unix_user_prompt_test.go. The helper changes, delayed-startup test, inherited-input cases, publication barrier checks, and Windows path normalization support the requirements in [#2091] or preserve the related #2072 regression. No production code or unrelated test scope is included.
