Summary

Installing only OpenCodex Desktop puts no ocx on PATH on macOS or Windows, and when the user also has an npm, bun-link, Homebrew or nvm ocx, a terminal runs that package launcher instead of the CLI that talks to the Desktop sidecar. On the reporting Mac, Desktop 2.81.0 served port 10100 while ocx resolved to a broken bun-link shim, a broken Homebrew link, or an nvm ocx 2.7.43.

Desktop now owns the ocx command, automatically at launch, with an off switch and a removal path:

  • macOS and Linux (deb): a small fail-closed shim in ~/.opencodex-desktop/bin/ocx that execs the bundled CLI, a helper ~/.opencodex-desktop/path.sh, and a managed block at the end of .zshrc/.zlogin, .bashrc and the active bash login file, and config.fish, so new shells put the Desktop directory first. The block is moved back to the end on each launch when another tool prepends after it. Symlinked, foreign, read-only or user-edited rc content is refused and reported, never overwritten. The shim creates the same launch-provenance proof the Node launcher creates before Bun loads a project .env, so ocx claude keeps shell-exported Anthropic settings the way the npm ocx does.
  • Windows: the Desktop install directory goes to the front of the user Path (HKCU\Environment), preserving the value type and unexpanded entries, followed by WM_SETTINGCHANGE. An ocx in the machine Path cannot be outranked from the user Path and is reported as partial, not success.
  • Ownership: one record at ~/.opencodex-desktop/cli.json (0700/0600) with an external journal for crash recovery; Desktop only edits and removes what it wrote. Turning the feature off or pressing Remove stores the off choice first, then removes the shim, helper, rc blocks or Path entry.
  • Where to change it: a local Terminal command page (desktop/ui/cli.html), reachable from the tray and from a Desktop-only entry in the dashboard sidebar, with status, the on/off switch, Repair and Remove. Back uses the existing return_to_dashboard path.
  • AppImage, debug builds, App Translocation and DMG launches are refused because they have no stable path.

The package-launcher handoff and status/doctor PATH diagnostics follow in a stacked PR. Plan, audits and decisions: devlog/_plan/261009_desktop_owned_path_cli/.

Verification

  • macOS (Rust 1.95): cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test (228 passed, 2 ignored) in desktop/src-tauri.
  • Real shells: cargo test real_shell -- --ignored runs real zsh -i and bash -l -i on a temporary HOME with an npm-style ocx prepended in the rc files. The Desktop shim wins; an npm prepend appended after the block loses again after reconcile; Remove restores the npm ocx and keeps the user's lines.
  • Windows 11 host (Rust 1.98): cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo test cli_command (14 passed). This run caught two Windows-only lints and a test escaping bug, fixed here.
  • bun test for the new source-contract test plus the update/startup surface and layout guards: 59 pass. GUI: lint, lint:i18n, tsc -b, bun test tests (3018 pass), build. bun run typecheck, structure:check, privacy:scan, file-size ratchet: pass.
  • Rendered cli.html in headless Chrome with a stubbed invoke: Repair, Remove, the switch and Back call the expected commands and update the page.
  • Full bun run test was not run locally (owner asked for minimal local tests); exact-head CI covers it.
  • Windows 11 host: full desktop crate cargo test (191 passed) and clippy -D warnings, including native checks of the private directory's owner and protected DACL (a NULL DACL, an unprotected root and an extra Everyone ACE are refused). The DACL is set natively; the shell starts no child process for it.
  • Compiled CLI provenance (macOS): with the host standalone CLI, ocx claude through the shim keeps a shell-exported ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, the same binary run directly drops it, and an ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL set only in a project .env is dropped.
  • Review: independent code review (journal crash recovery, broadcast retry, ownership-only removal, bundle re-observation, page response ordering, Back fallback) and security review (private-path ACLs on macOS/Linux/Windows, rc files with ACLs are never rewritten, shim provenance) both PASS on this head after fixes.
  • Not observed, listed for release QA: packaged app click-through, fish, Linux deb, Windows terminal selection after a real registry write.

Screenshots

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (desktop guide en/ko, structure/desktop-shell.md)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (independent security review PASS: rc and PATH writes, private-path ACLs, record permissions, shim provenance)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Desktop-managed ocx terminal command for supported macOS, Windows, and Linux installations, with controls to enable, repair, or remove it.
    • Added a Terminal command entry in the desktop sidebar and tray menu, plus guidance in the desktop-app guide.
    • Added status and issue reporting, while preserving user changes during configuration updates or removal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Desktop now manages installation, status, repair, enablement, and removal of its bundled ocx command on supported systems. It adds protected records and recovery, POSIX shell and Windows user-Path configuration, guarded Desktop settings and dashboard entry points, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Desktop-owned terminal command

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ownership record and recovery
desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command_record.rs, tests/fixtures/desktop-cli-record/*
Stores validated ownership and enablement data, secures record and journal files, serializes transactions, and recovers interrupted changes. Tests and fixtures cover record validation, recovery, ACLs, locking, and notification retries.
POSIX shell installation and cleanup
desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command_posix.rs
Creates a fail-closed shim and PATH helper, edits validated managed shell blocks, and removes only verified owned configuration. Tests cover shell selection, conflicts, ACL refusal, and cleanup.
Windows ACL and user Path management
desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command_windows.rs
Validates and hardens ACLs, plans user Path changes, and handles registry notifications. Tests cover entry movement, restoration, conflicts, and validation.
Reconciliation and guarded Desktop commands
desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command.rs, desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs, desktop/src-tauri/src/startup.rs, desktop/src-tauri/src/window.rs, desktop/src-tauri/src/tray.rs, desktop/ui/cli.html, desktop/ui/cli.js, tests/clients/desktop-cli-command-surface.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Reconciles configuration on launch and serializes management actions. Tauri commands require the CLI page, while startup preserves settings pages and provides a dashboard fallback. The CLI page displays status and issues and invokes enable, repair, remove, and Back actions. Tests cover command guards, UI behavior, and stale polling results.
Desktop dashboard entry point
gui/src/App.tsx, gui/src/components/sidebar-github-row.tsx, gui/src/lib/desktop-shell.ts, gui/src/i18n/*, gui/tests/desktop-shell.test.ts
Adds a desktop-only sidebar action that opens the CLI page using the platform-specific app origin. Adds translated labels and tests for URL selection and desktop-shell checks.
Behavior documentation and implementation records
docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/desktop-app.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/ko/guides/desktop-app.md, structure/*, devlog/_plan/261009_desktop_owned_path_cli/*
Documents supported installation behavior, verification, conflicts, and removal. Adds structure documentation and records the project plan, audits, implementation checks, review findings, and merge steps.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6381f

The new terminal-command feature is mergeable with follow-up. After the Terminal command page is opened, Open Dashboard may not return to the dashboard. A leftover temporary file can leave the status stuck on "partial." Shell-file backups also accumulate over time.

P2 Badge Restore files that originally lacked a final newline

When an existing shell startup file has no trailing newline, installation inserts one before the managed block, but removal deletes only the block range and leaves that newline behind. Consequently, disabling or removing the terminal command changes the user's original file from (for example) export FOO=bar to export FOO=bar\n; include the separator in the owned range or otherwise remember and remove it during cleanup.

Stop writing a new backup on every change.

change() gives every change with before bytes a new backups/<uuid> path. recover_with writes the full before bytes to that path. Nothing ever deletes backups.

Repositioning a block, rewriting the shim or helper, and removing an rc block each add one more copy, up to 8 MiB each. These copies often contain the user's shell secrets. Only the first rc backup is recorded. Store::open also checks every backup on each open, so each open gets slower as the directory grows.

  • desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command_posix.rs#L294-L317: add a want_backup parameter. Pass false for shim and helper changes (Line 377, Line 539). Pass backup.is_none() in plan (Line 429). Pass f.backup_path.is_none() in remove_rc (Line 505).
  • desktop/src-tauri/src/cli_command_record.rs#L1018-L1029: keep writing only when c.backup_path is Some. Do not reuse recorded backup paths in new changes, because the backup-conflict check would reject them.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit orphan-journal to files that cleanup can remove.

journal_issues (Lines 1087-1092) treats any directory entry in journal/ that is not referenced as an orphan. clean_unreferenced (Lines 702-711) deletes only names that pass journal_path. The two functions use different rules, so some files are reported forever and never removed:

  • Assume the process dies inside atomic() while prepare writes a journal (Line 912). The temporary file .ocx-cli-<uuid> (Line 486) then stays in journal/. The cleanup at Line 533 never runs.
  • Any other non-journal file has the same effect. The test at Line 1341 creates journal/unrelated.txt and expects it to survive cleanup.

On every later perform_in, issues.extend(store.journal_issues(&r)) (cli_command.rs Line 260) adds orphan-journal. configured then becomes false and phase becomes "partial". Repair and Remove cannot change this, because no code path deletes the file. The user sees "Some configuration could not be applied" until they delete the file by hand.

Make the two functions use the same rule. Either report only entries that pass journal_path, or also remove stale .ocx-cli-* temporary files in clean_unreferenced.

Proposed fix
         let orphan = fs::read_dir(self.root.join("journal"))
             .map(|v| {
-                v.filter_map(|e| e.ok())
-                    .any(|e| !referenced.contains(e.path().to_string_lossy().as_ref()))
+                v.filter_map(|e| e.ok()).any(|e| {
+                    let p = e.path().to_string_lossy().into_owned();
+                    self.journal_path(&p) && !referenced.contains(p.as_str())
+                })
             })
             .unwrap_or(true);

In clean_unreferenced, also remove entries whose file name starts with .ocx-cli-. The store holds the lock, so no atomic() call in this process can be writing them.

Update `journal_issues` to report an unreferenced entry only when its path
passes `journal_path`, matching the rule used by `clean_unreferenced`. Keep
referenced-path checks and existing read-directory error behavior unchanged.

Reset dashboard navigation state when show_page opens cli.html.

Startup::should_navigate_dashboard() sets dashboard_loaded to true on the first dashboard navigation. show_page then navigates the main window to cli.html without clearing that state. A later startup::open_dashboard call skips navigate_dashboard through navigate_once, so the window can remain on the CLI page.

After w.navigate succeeds, re-arm dashboard navigation through a dedicated Startup method. Keep the reset conditional on successful navigation.

Update show_page so that after w.navigate succeeds, it calls a dedicated Startup
method to reset dashboard navigation state; keep the reset out of the
failed-navigation path so a later startup::open_dashboard can navigate from
cli.html.

| # | Finding | Fix | Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2-S1 (security P1) | The record reader follows symlinks and accepts a record or directory writable by others, so a same-machine attacker who can write there chooses what `ocx` executes | POSIX: `lstat` `~/.opencodex-desktop` and `cli.json`; both must be owned by the effective uid, neither may be a symlink, and neither may have group or other permission bits (`mode & 0o077 === 0`, matching the writer's 0700/0600). Open with `O_RDONLY | O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK`, then `fstat` the descriptor and require a regular file with the same `dev`/`ino` as the `lstat`. Any failure is `record-unsafe` (new issue code, handled like the other errors: AM-2 message, no handoff). Windows: refuse when the directory or the record is a reparse point (`lstat().isSymbolicLink()` or a junction); ACL ownership is not read in the launcher hot path. The Desktop writer hardens and verifies this directory's protected DACL on every launch (031 S1), and the residual is stated in PR 2 | Unit tests on a temp HOME: mode 0666 record, 0777 directory, record symlink, directory symlink, foreign owner (skipped unless running as root, with a printed reason), each → `record-unsafe` and no spawn; valid 0700/0600 → `ready` |

Escape the pipe characters in the security-fix table.

On Line 15, O_RDONLY | O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK adds two unintended table separators. The row renders with six cells under four headings. Escape both pipes so readers can distinguish the finding, fix, and test.

Escape the pipe characters in the `P2-S1` table row’s `O_RDONLY | O_NOFOLLOW |
O_NONBLOCK` expression so they render as literal pipes and do not create extra
table cells.
