Summary

A Remote Link Child relayed inference to its Home, but its dashboard failed with "Dashboard data could not be loaded", its Codex config.toml kept its own OpenCodex-written settings, and its CLI answered with hub wording, not_found or "Hub does not support client usage". This PR gives the Child an authenticated, read-only view of its Home, applies the Home's OpenCodex-owned Codex settings when the Child syncs, and makes every management command either read the Home or refuse with one message.

Read-only management relay over the link

  • src/link/management-routes.ts holds a shared, default-deny allowlist of Home management GET reads. A read is allowed only for a listed path, GET or HEAD, and a query without refresh, reload, force or quota.
  • The Home's hub-link listener serves those paths under /v1/link-management/…, after the existing link-key admission (only recorded link keys). src/server/index/link-management.ts builds a fresh loopback request with no caller headers, cookies, Origin or principal and returns only content headers with no-store. The prefix does not exist on the public listener.
  • The Child dashboard's shared plane becomes the Child listener's /api/machine/hub-relay base. The browser holds only the Child's own session (/api/machine/hub-relay/opencodex-session is answered locally), and src/client/link-management-relay.ts sends allowlisted reads through the existing connection-bound link relay, so the link key is attached only after the tunnel listener proves the link identity. Everything else gets 403 link_child_read_only before a request exists. The Child's unauthenticated data-plane ingress still relays only the data-plane table.
  • The dashboard shows "Managed by Home over Remote Link ()", outside the page error boundary. The header quota strip now reads the Home's /api/provider-quotas.
  • The Home answers every link read as a passive read (src/lib/passive-read.ts): it shows what the Home already knows and does not make it act on providers, accounts, processes or files. Model discovery returns no routed models. Provider quota and Codex accounts come from the Home's caches without a probe or token refresh. The startup diagnostic, Codex version probes, bundled-catalog refresh and native-main ownership re-probe are not started. Credential-store hardening and malformed-file backups are skipped, and memory-budget eviction only drops caches registered as memory-only. /api/injection-model and /api/sidecar-settings therefore list native options plus the Home's current picks.

Home Codex settings (scope 1)

I checked which Codex keys OpenCodex writes. The injector reads four policy fields from OpenCodex config: fastMode ([features] fast_mode), multiAgentMode (the features.multi_agent_v2 reconcile), webSearchSidecar.enabled (root web_search), and the effective managed sub-agent defaults (syncCodexSubagentDefaults + injectionModel + injectionEffort). Effort caps, the sub-agent roster and fallback, the injection prompt, sidecar and compaction routing are applied per request by the Home's proxy, so they already followed the Home.

src/link/codex-settings.ts publishes those four on /v1/link-management/codex-settings. It is a separate authenticated read because the catalog bytes are written verbatim to model_catalog_json. Connect and syncConnectedClient overlay the strictly parsed document before injection. After the injection that applies it succeeds, a fresh read is recorded in <configDir>/link/home-codex-settings.json (0600, keyed by link id, removed on disconnect). A failed read reuses the record, and an older Home keeps the Child's local values and says so. ocx sync and ocx status list which values came from the Home. The record's host name is also how a Home-initiated Child names its Home in messages.

CLI (scope 3)

src/cli/link-child.ts applies the same table to runtimeRequest, the account client, observation and ocx debug. Reads go to the Home over the bound relay. Everything else is refused with linkChildManagementRefusal: "This machine is a Remote Link Child managed by Home (link ). runs on the Home, not on this Child: use the Home's dashboard or run the command there. No request was sent." The text no longer mentions a relay transport. ocx usage reads the Home with Home wording, ocx account list reads the Home, ocx status describes a Remote Link Home (rebased onto #6955's local Child relay for /v1/hub-state), ocx provider list|show and ocx config get print a stderr note that the values are local and inactive, ocx config set|unset|import write locally with that note, and ocx provider add|remove|set-default are refused. Account commands classify providers from the Home's /api/providers projection, so Home-only providers are listed.

Closes #6957

Related: #6939 (the Child runtime is not restarted after a Home-initiated apply) is not addressed here. #6944 (ocx link status on a Child) is unchanged: the command still falls back to local link status.

Decisions that need sign-off

  1. Read surface. The allowlist is in LINK_MANAGEMENT_READ_PATHS. It deliberately excludes /api/models, /api/model-presets, /api/subagent-models and /api/subagent-model-fallback, because those run live provider discovery on the Home and can persist an initial model selection. The preset preview only decides a write a Child cannot make, so ocx models preset show is refused on a Child. /api/injection-model stays readable because the Child dashboard and ocx effort show the Home's delegation model and effort from it; it is served passively (see above). Excluding them means the Child dashboard's model list and ocx models live / ocx models order status / ocx agent subagents are refused on a Child (Codex on the Child already offers the Home's catalog). A read-only roster projection would be a follow-up. /api/logs, debug, combos, routing profiles and project-config diagnostics are also excluded.
  2. Read-only by default, no write mode. No change operation crosses the link.
  3. Local session reach. As on the existing machine routes, any local process that can open the Child's loopback dashboard can mint a Child session and then read the allowlisted Home surface. Refusing loopback-issued sessions for Home reads is possible but would also lock out the normal local dashboard.
  4. Cached quota and accounts. /api/codex-auth/accounts and /api/provider-quotas (the header strip) show what the Home has already observed and never probe or refresh a token for a Child, so a Home whose own dashboard and traffic are idle can show stale or empty quota on the Child. Forced refresh and ?quota=1 are refused.
  5. Settings scope. Root model_reasoning_effort and desktop.enabled-reasoning-efforts / desktop.show-ultra-in-model-picker-slider are Codex app settings that OpenCodex writes on no machine, so they are not synced. features.multi_agent / agents.max_threads follow only through multiAgentMode. A Home can set the Child's fast mode, multi-agent mode, web search switch and sub-agent default model. Those values are strictly parsed and TOML-quoted.

Verification

Review fix for the merge-manager finding: Child link GETs of /api/injection-model / /api/model-presets ran model discovery and switched a pending Home provider to all-off. Fixed in 1a93d1c77b on dev a0191a1b6f; b25c48d885 adds a docs-only follow-up for CodeRabbit (the guide now names ocx config unset and import beside set as local writes on a Child).

  • Audit. An independent audit of all 21 allowlisted handlers (GPT-6.1-Sol high) confirmed the two routes. It also found the same discovery chain in /api/sidecar-settings, and other reads that made the Home act: token refresh with a JWT plan write and WHAM probes in /api/codex-auth/accounts; upstream probes and routing-evidence publication in /api/provider-quotas; the startup diagnostic, Codex version probes and the bundled-catalog refresh behind /api/startup-health, /api/settings and the native model list; repeated backups of a malformed credential store; native-main ownership re-probes; and memory-budget eviction that could spill a continuation or rewrite the Antigravity replay snapshot. All of these are now prevented by the passive read scope. The remaining reads have no side effects beyond in-memory caches.
  • Independent review: GPT-6.1-Sol high (a different model family from the builder) reviewed the fix over five rounds. Rounds 1–4 each returned FAIL with a reproduced side effect, and each was fixed with a regression case. Round 5 returned PASS on the final tree: "no remaining allowlisted path to a durable Home mutation, upstream request, process start, lifecycle activation, or disk spill". The reviewer independently ran 103 tests, all passing.
  • Regression tests (tests/server/link-management-relay.test.ts: 11 pass, stable over repeated runs). The fixture is a Home with a pending provider holding 20 models, a quota-probed provider (OpenRouter), canonical OpenAI, a Codex pool account with an expired token, a malformed OAuth store and a native-main ownership fence.
    • Every allowlisted path is read over the real link listener with GET and HEAD. Inside the passive scope the test records any fetch, child_process/Bun.spawn/Bun.write call and mutating node:fs/fs/promises call. It also compares the size, mtime and mode of every file in the Home's config and Codex homes, the config file bytes and the live /api/config. The test asserts that none of these changed, both immediately and after a 2.5 s wait past the snapshot debounce.
    • Positive control: the same reads made by the Home itself back up the store, call the quota and account upstreams, re-probe ownership and decide the pending provider.
    • Dedicated cases: a /api/usage read under memory pressure demotes no continuation, undeclared cache or persisted replay session; passive discovery leaves a pending provider pending; a passive startup-health read starts no diagnostic.
    • Disabling any single guard fails at least one case.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check, bun run privacy:scan, bun run lint:gui and bun run skill:surface:check all exit 0 on the final head. The Lab boundary, test-layout, file-size ratchet, structure-SSOT and repo-hygiene guards: 120 pass, 0 fail. src/providers/quota.ts stays under its cap (550/558), and no new test file was added (layout.json unchanged).
  • Focused suites: each of the 361 test files that import a changed module was run in its own process. 359 passed on the first run (10,629 tests). The other two, claude-desktop-picker-routes and claude-desktop-first-party, failed only under 4-way parallel load and passed when rerun alone twice (9/0 and 38/0).
  • bun run test:changed and the full bun run test were not completed locally. Several other worktrees' test runs held the shared Bun test lock for the whole session, which the repository's resource-contention exception covers. Hosted CI covers the full suite.
  • Earlier verification of the rest of this PR: focused link/CLI suites 264 pass; GUI tests 3,247 pass with lint, lint:i18n and build; docs-site build passes. An earlier independent review of the authentication and credential boundary is unchanged by this fix.
  • Not run: no live Home or Child was changed, and no live proxy was restarted.
Command-by-command behavior on a link Child (generated from src/cli/capabilities.ts against the allowlist)

"Refused with the Child message" means the command stops before any request with the message above. "Reads the Home; the change is refused" means the command's reads go to the Home and its write is refused.

Walkthrough

Remote Link Children can read allowlisted Home management data through a read-only relay. Connection and sync can apply selected Home Codex settings. The dashboard and CLI identify the Home and distinguish Home data from local values.

Changes

Remote Link Home management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Management contracts and passive reads
src/link/management-routes.ts, src/link/codex-settings.ts, src/lib/passive-read.ts, src/server/management/*, src/codex/*, src/config/*, src/providers/*, tests/clients/link-home-settings.test.ts, tests/server/link-management-relay.test.ts
Defines the allowed Home read routes and versioned settings document. Home management reads use a passive-read scope; related paths avoid specified discovery, refresh, and persistent side effects.
Home-side management relay
src/server/index/link-management.ts, src/server/index/optional-listeners.ts, src/server/index/serve-options.ts, src/client/link-relay.ts, tests/server/link-management-relay.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, structure/remote-link.md
Dispatches allowed requests on the Home link ingress. It uses filtered loopback requests and returns no-store responses with an allowlisted set of headers. Tests cover linked-key admission, route refusals, and response contents.
Child relay and dashboard
src/client/link-management-relay.ts, src/client/machine-listener.ts, src/client/machine-api.ts, gui/src/api-targets.ts, gui/src/App.tsx, gui/src/i18n/*, gui/tests/api-targets.test.ts, tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts, tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts, structure/gui-and-management-api.md
Relays authenticated, allowed dashboard reads to the Home and returns read-only link metadata. The dashboard displays a managed-link notice with the Home name when available.
Home Codex settings fetch and sync
src/client/link-home.ts, src/client/connect.ts, tests/clients/link-home-settings.test.ts, structure/remote-link.md
Fetches and validates Home settings, records successful reads by link ID, and uses cached or local settings when a fresh read is unavailable. Connection and sync apply available Home settings before injection; disconnect clears the saved record.
CLI Home reads and local-operation handling
src/cli/link-child.ts, src/cli/runtime-api.ts, src/cli/account-api.ts, src/cli/account.ts, src/cli/provider.ts, src/cli/config-command.ts, tests/cli/cli-link-child.test.ts
Routes eligible CLI reads through the Home relay and refuses other management operations. Home provider data supports account classification without copying credential values. Local configuration and provider output is identified as local.
Home-aware reporting and supporting messages
src/cli/status.ts, src/cli/dispatch.ts, src/cli/index.ts, src/cli/observe.ts, src/cli/observe-stream.ts, src/client/hub-client.ts, src/client/hub-state.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md, gui/src/i18n/*
CLI status, usage, and sync output identify Home-sourced data and Remote Link state. Documentation and translations describe the read-only dashboard and Home-managed settings.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1a93d

Linked-Child follow commands can give a misleading error, and the guide omits two local configuration commands. These bounded issues do not prevent merging, but should be corrected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Gate local management mutations on a Remote Link Child. The new read notices do not guard the existing write branches. A linked Child can still save inactive local management configuration and report success instead of returning the promised Child refusal.

🟡 Minor · Preserve the Child refusal for follow observations. · observe-stream.ts:139

src/cli/observe-stream.ts:139
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the Child refusal for follow observations.

ocx logs --follow calls followLogs, which uses the default kind: "follow" context. On a Remote Link Child, runtimeBaseUrl throws RuntimeApiError with code link_child_management_unavailable. The catch only prints specific messages for ObservationError, so this refusal is replaced with “Observation failed or timed out.” Handle the Child error before the generic fallback.

🐛 Suggested fix
 import { runtimeBaseUrl, type RuntimeApiDeps } from "./runtime-api";
+import { RuntimeApiError } from "./runtime-api";
 
 ...
   } catch (error) {
     if (exit) return exit;
-    console.error(`Error: ${error instanceof ObservationError ? error.message : `Observation failed or timed out. Check the runtime and ${retry}.`}`);
+    const message = error instanceof ObservationError
+      || (error instanceof RuntimeApiError && error.code === "link_child_management_unavailable")
+      ? error.message
+      : `Observation failed or timed out. Check the runtime and ${retry}.`;
+    console.error(`Error: ${message}`);
     return 1;

of the generic timeout fallback; preserve the existing ObservationError handling

Re CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding (local management writes on a Remote Link Child), addressed in 6e571cf:

  • ocx provider add|remove|set-default are now refused on a link Child with the shared Child message (linkChildProviderChangeRefusal), because they could only change providers that are inactive while linked.
  • ocx config set|unset|import still write locally and now print a note that the provider, model and routing settings they touch stay inactive while linked. They are kept because the Child's own listener settings (port, hostname) are still in effect and config is how an operator repairs them.

Merge-manager verification: not merging yet — one authorization blocker.

Tested head e4b29de910 merged onto dev 0024ac6c4c (clean merge). typecheck, structure:check, lint:gui, lint:i18n, GUI build, privacy:scan, ratchet, Lab boundary (25/0) and the focused link suites (85/0) all pass, and src/server/index.ts stays within its cap (888/893).

Blocker: src/link/management-routes.ts:21 and :34 allow /api/injection-model and /api/model-presets for a Child. Both handlers run model discovery, which persists the initial model selection through src/server/management/shared.ts:303. In an isolated probe with a pending provider holding 20 models, either authenticated link GET returned 200, switched the Home provider to all-off and persisted 20 disabled models. A Child's read-only access therefore makes a durable Home configuration change. The same probe on plain dev returns 404 and leaves the provider pending, so this is introduced by the PR.

Fix direction: drop these two routes from the Child allowlist, or serve projections that do no discovery or persistence, and add a config-unchanged assertion for every allowed route. A follow-up is being prepared on this branch.

…-only CLI reads, refuse ocx debug on a Child
…om the Home, refuse provider changes on a Child (review)
… (review)

A Remote Link Child's read of /api/injection-model, /api/model-presets or
/api/sidecar-settings ran model discovery on the Home. Discovery reaches provider
upstreams and persists the initial model selection, so with a pending provider one
Child GET switched the Home provider to all-off and saved its models as disabled.
An audit of the whole allowlist found more reads that act on the Home: the Codex
account list refreshes tokens, probes WHAM and writes the observed plan; provider
quota probes upstreams and republishes routing evidence; startup health, settings
and the native model list start the startup diagnostic, Codex version probes and
the bundled-catalog refresh; and credential-store reads tighten permissions and
back up a malformed file on every read.

The Home now runs every link read as a passive read (src/lib/passive-read.ts) that
shows what it already knows and starts no work: discovery returns no routed models,
provider quota and Codex accounts are served from the Home's caches without a probe,
token refresh or claim, the diagnostic, version probes and catalog refresh are not
started, and hardening and malformed-file backups are skipped.
/api/injection-model and /api/sidecar-settings keep their shape and list native
options plus the persisted picks. /api/model-presets leaves the allowlist: its
preview only decides a write a Child cannot make.

The relay test reads every allowlisted path, GET and HEAD, against a Home with a
pending provider, a quota-probed provider, an expired pool token and a malformed
OAuth store. It records every fetch, child process and file mutation made inside a
passive read and asserts there are none and that the Home config file and live
config are unchanged; the same reads made by the Home then do each kind of work.

P2 — the new read-only Child surface still exposes a durable Home mutation at head e4b29de910e2d40c8bc8eaa71c3c16933b4d84bb.

src/link/management-routes.ts:21,34 allows GET /api/injection-model and /api/model-presets. Their handlers call fetchAllModels; src/server/management/shared.ts:303 finalizes initial model selection after discovery. Thus HTTP method/query restrictions do not establish a read-only contract. A Home provider awaiting initial selection can be changed by a Child's read, without an explicit Home mutation operation.

This agrees with @lidge-jun's existing isolated reproduction in issuecomment-6119291447; that runtime receipt belongs to them. I independently confirmed the source call path, not reran a provider or credential probe. Recording the unresolved issue as a formal change request so it is not mistaken for merge-ready read-only behavior while the author prepares the follow-up.

Please remove these two paths from the allowlist or supply genuinely non-discovering/non-persisting projections, then assert config and persistence remain unchanged for every permitted GET/HEAD route with pending model selection. Keep ordinary Home management behavior covered separately. No author branch takeover, scan, workflow authorization or merge is implied.

@Ingwannu re-review request for your CHANGES_REQUESTED on e4b29de. Current head b25c48d (code at 1a93d1c plus one docs commit). Mapping to your three asks:

  1. The two discovering paths. /api/model-presets is removed from the Child allowlist. /api/injection-model (and /api/sidecar-settings, which had the same problem) stay, but every link read now runs inside a passive-read scope (src/lib/passive-read.ts): they return the native catalog plus the current selection, and no discovery, fetchAllModels, or initial-selection finalization can run under it.
  2. Every permitted GET/HEAD with pending selection. The relay regression walks every allowlisted route with both GET and HEAD against a Home with a pending provider, OpenRouter, expired pool tokens, a damaged auth.json and an ownership fence. It asserts zero fetches, process spawns and fs writes inside the scope, unchanged config bytes, unchanged live config and unchanged state for both home files. A Home-side positive control shows the same routes still discover when called by the Home, and disabling any single guard turns the test red.
  3. Ordinary Home management stays covered separately by the existing management route tests, which are unchanged and pass.

A full audit of the allowlist found more read-with-side-effect handlers of the same class. All of them now run passive under the link scope: /api/codex-auth/accounts (token refresh, JWT plan writes, WHAM), /api/provider-quotas (upstream probes, routing evidence), startup-health/settings/native lists (diagnostic processes, codex exec, codex-runtime.json), credential reconciliation and backup, native-main ownership recheck, and /api/usage memory-budget enforcement. Trade-off: a Child's quota and account view reflects the Home's caches as refreshed by the Home's own activity.

Independent review: GPT-6.1-Sol high, five rounds, final PASS. Exact-head CI is running. I will not merge while your change request is outstanding, so please re-review or withdraw it if this resolves it.

Re-reviewed the read-only side-effect correction at b25c48d8857f525c209cb7d76e38aa49421f5e1e (runtime correction 1a93d1c77b). My previous change request was specifically the discovery-to-persistence path, not whole-PR sign-off.

The current allowlist removes /api/model-presets and the other discovering roster reads. handleLinkManagementRequest enters an AsyncLocalStorage passive scope before the management handler; fetchAllModels exits before discovery/finalization, and injection/sidecar views use held/native options. I also checked the new passive branches for quota/account probes, runtime/bundled-catalog/startup diagnostics, config hardening/backups, ownership re-probe, and memory-store eviction. Ordinary Home calls remain outside that scope. The new relay regression enumerates every admitted GET and HEAD against pending selection and expired/malformed fixture state, checks unchanged persisted/live config and file metadata, watches side effects, waits past the debounce, and includes Home-side positive controls. That directly addresses the regression I requested.

I am withdrawing my prior objection (review 5488257417) as resolved on this head. This is not APPROVE, a security-boundary sign-off, sponsorship, or a merge instruction. I did not independently execute the new suite this pass: other worktrees have active Cargo builds, so the serial host workload guard defers local validation. Existing exact-head ci and the Linux/Windows/macOS suite checks are successful; skipped privacy/macOS-control jobs are not claimed as executed coverage. The broader new cached-only read policy and original link/settings authority still require their normal owner/boundary acceptance. No scan, live service call, or runtime configuration change was performed.

Withdrawing my own discovery/persistence objection after source re-review of b25c48d and its exhaustive GET/HEAD regression; scoped resolution, not whole-PR approval. See the current-head review.

… refusal on Remote Link Children (#6959)

Squashed from #6959 for the 2.84.0 release train.

A Remote Link Child relayed inference to its Home, but its dashboard failed with "Dashboard data could not be loaded", its Codex `config.toml` kept its own OpenCodex-written settings, and its CLI answered with hub wording, `not_found` or "Hub does not support client usage". This PR gives the Child an authenticated, read-only view of its Home, applies the Home's OpenCodex-owned Codex settings when the Child syncs, and makes every management command either read the Home or refuse with one message.
**Read-only management relay over the link**
- `src/link/management-routes.ts` holds a shared, default-deny allowlist of Home management GET reads. A read is allowed only for a listed path, GET or HEAD, and a query without `refresh`, `reload`, `force` or `quota`.
- The Home's hub-link listener serves those paths under `/v1/link-management/…`, after the existing link-key admission (only recorded link keys). `src/server/index/link-management.ts` builds a fresh loopback request with no caller headers, cookies, Origin or principal and returns only content headers with `no-store`. The prefix does not exist on the public listener.
- The Child dashboard's shared plane becomes the Child listener's `/api/machine/hub-relay` base. The browser holds only the Child's own session (`/api/machine/hub-relay/opencodex-session` is answered locally), and `src/client/link-management-relay.ts` sends allowlisted reads through the existing connection-bound link relay, so the link key is attached only after the tunnel listener proves the link identity. Everything else gets `403 link_child_read_only` before a request exists. The Child's unauthenticated data-plane ingress still relays only the data-plane table.
- The dashboard shows "Managed by Home <name> over Remote Link (<link id>)", outside the page error boundary. The header quota strip now reads the Home's `/api/provider-quotas`.
- The Home answers every link read as a passive read (`src/lib/passive-read.ts`): it shows what the Home already knows and does not make it act on providers, accounts, processes or files. Model discovery returns no routed models. Provider quota and Codex accounts come from the Home's caches without a probe or token refresh. The startup diagnostic, Codex version probes, bundled-catalog refresh and native-main ownership re-probe are not started. Credential-store hardening and malformed-file backups are skipped, and memory-budget eviction only drops caches registered as memory-only. `/api/injection-model` and `/api/sidecar-settings` therefore list native options plus the Home's current picks.
**Home Codex settings (scope 1)**
I checked which Codex keys OpenCodex writes. The injector reads four policy fields from OpenCodex config: `fastMode` (`[features] fast_mode`), `multiAgentMode` (the `features.multi_agent_v2` reconcile), `webSearchSidecar.enabled` (root `web_search`), and the effective managed sub-agent defaults (`syncCodexSubagentDefaults` + `injectionModel` + `injectionEffort`). Effort caps, the sub-agent roster and fallback, the injection prompt, sidecar and compaction routing are applied per request by the Home's proxy, so they already followed the Home.
`src/link/codex-settings.ts` publishes those four on `/v1/link-management/codex-settings`. It is a separate authenticated read because the catalog bytes are written verbatim to `model_catalog_json`. Connect and `syncConnectedClient` overlay the strictly parsed document before injection. After the injection that applies it succeeds, a fresh read is recorded in `<configDir>/link/home-codex-settings.json` (0600, keyed by link id, removed on disconnect). A failed read reuses the record, and an older Home keeps the Child's local values and says so. `ocx sync` and `ocx status` list which values came from the Home. The record's host name is also how a Home-initiated Child names its Home in messages.
**CLI (scope 3)**
`src/cli/link-child.ts` applies the same table to `runtimeRequest`, the account client, observation and `ocx debug`. Reads go to the Home over the bound relay. Everything else is refused with `linkChildManagementRefusal`: "This machine is a Remote Link Child managed by Home <name> (link <id>). <METHOD path> runs on the Home, not on this Child: use the Home's dashboard or run the command there. No request was sent." The text no longer mentions a relay transport. `ocx usage` reads the Home with Home wording, `ocx account list` reads the Home, `ocx status` describes a Remote Link Home (rebased onto #6955's local Child relay for `/v1/hub-state`), `ocx provider list|show` and `ocx config get` print a stderr note that the values are local and inactive, `ocx config set|unset|import` write locally with that note, and `ocx provider add|remove|set-default` are refused. Account commands classify providers from the Home's `/api/providers` projection, so Home-only providers are listed.

Ten commits landed on dev while this branch was being validated; the merge is
automatic, with one union defect that neither side has alone.

lidge-jun#6959 added two lines to src/providers/quota.ts, whose file-size cap is 558.
With this branch's scoped-refresh parameter the file reached 560. The
parameter's comment and the stale-id fallback are tightened to bring it to
