Injection (run by ocx sync, start, and settings changes) removed every root model_context_window even though OpenCodex never writes that key, and it rewrote a marker-owned [agents] default_subagent_* value whenever the marker comment survived, including after the user edited the value. Root model_context_window is now left alone. The journal records the exact managed sub-agent default values each injection writes; a marked value that no longer matches that record is adopted as user-owned (its marker is dropped) on both sync and restore. Without a record the marker alone still decides. Refs lidge-jun#7425

Root model_context_window is now left alone.

Edit detection now decodes the whole assignment, so a marked value the user rewrote as a multiline string is adopted instead of refusing the sync. The docs note that Codex caps a root model_context_window at each model's maximum window. Refs #7425 * docs(structure): drop stale root context-window strip claim Review follow-up for #7553. Refs #7425 * test(codex): compare canonical sync sandbox paths Compare native realpaths and the exact expected config file while retaining separator-bounded containment and isolated child environments. Clarify that the parent-home fingerprint observes the test harness home. Register the carried test in the existing codex shard without growing layout.json. Supersedes #7553; carries its original three commits with authorship intact. Co-authored-by: chlwnsgurg <97290748+chlwnsgurg@users.noreply.github.com> * test: isolate Codex host state in config-sync validation Seed the existing runtime cache seam for the missing/null version equality case, and pin the Desktop process fixture's user-owned native catalog. An installed Codex must not select a real runtime or change model order while these fixtures exercise cache equality and remote authority. The unmodified dev sources reproduce both failures (59 pass, 2 fail). These nine fixture-only lines give 61 pass, 0 fail. A scratch mutation removing null normalization still fails the unchanged persisted-byte assertion, so the target regression remains effective. This is a minimal L5 write-scope exception needed for its required macOS gates; no production code, timeout or assertion was changed. * fix(codex): honor default ownership before journal snapshot restore The first injected hash must stay pinned to protect unrelated user edits. Before replaying that snapshot, compare native-default cleanup using the latest recorded values against marker-only cleanup. Conflicting ownership keeps restoration on the existing field-level path instead of deleting a user edit that happens to recreate earlier injected bytes. Reuse the same known-key parser on the already-read journal. Missing records retain legacy behavior; profile and hash policies are unchanged. Regression-first proof on unfixed sources: 9 pass, 4 fail. Model and effort edits are preserved by both native restore APIs after the fix; legitimate managed A-to-B-to-A cycles still restore the exact snapshot. The affected journal/default suite passes 89 tests. --------- Co-authored-by: chlwnsgurg <97290748+chlwnsgurg@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
ocx sync(and every other Codex config injection: start, settings changes, drift heal) overwrote two kinds of user edits in~/.codex/config.toml:model_context_windowwas deleted on every sync. The injection plan stripped it unconditionally, although OpenCodex never writes that key. A user who declaredmodel_context_window = 1000000lost it on each sync. It now survives both sync and restore.[agents] default_subagent_model/default_subagent_reasoning_effortwas reverted. Ownership was decided only by the# Managed by opencodex: native subagent defaultcomment. If the user, or a settings writer that keeps comments, changed the value and left the comment in place, the next sync put the OpenCodex value back. The journal now records the exact values each injection writes (injectedSubagentDefaults). On the next sync or restore, a marked value that differs from that record is treated as user-owned: its stale marker is dropped, the value is kept, and sync reportsuser-owned agents.default_subagent_model preserved(the existing conflict warning). A marked value that still matches the record is OpenCodex's and followsinjectionModel/injectionEffortas before.Before: config holds
model_context_window = 1000000and a hand-editeddefault_subagent_model = "user/picked-model"under the marker →ocx syncremoves the first and reverts the second.After: both are byte-for-byte unchanged after any number of syncs, and after
ocx restore.Docs:
guides/codex-integration.md(root context window is left in place and replaces each model's catalog window, capped at that model's maximum),guides/sub-agent-surface.md(an in-place edit becomes user-owned), andstructure/config.md(ownership rule, and the injection-shapes paragraph no longer claims root context-window overrides are stripped; both rewritten in place to stay within the doc's line budget).Refs #7425
Decisions
config.tomlonly when it can prove it wrote that exact content: the marker comment must sit next to the line, and the value must match what the journal recorded writing, if the journal has a record. Everything else belongs to the user. Sync updates only owned content and never deletes or rewrites user content. This is the same evidence model already used foropenai_base_urlandweb_search(ocx stop/restore leave unmarked openai_base_url + proxy models_cache behind when Codex app rewrote config after injection #1798): value evidence from the journal, because the comment alone is formatting.model_context_windowis user-owned.git log -Sshows OpenCodex never wrote this key. It was stripped (f16a4ce, restored in 391bc5a) to get rid of a stale 1M override that made every model report a 1M window. Under the rule above, removing it was a clobber, so the strip is gone. The docs now say that a root value applies to every model ahead of the catalog's per-model windows, so a user who wants per-model windows deletes it. I did not add a runtime warning, to keepsrc/codex/inject.ts(13 lines under its ratchet cap) and the sync message surface unchanged.injectedSubagentDefaultshas no record, so the marker alone decides, as before. On such an install the first sync after upgrading still applies the OpenCodex value to a marked line once; after that it follows the record. I chose this over guessing, because a marked value that differs from the current desired value is ambiguous without a record: it could be a user edit, or a dashboard change ofinjectionModelthat sync has not applied yet.defaultEffortin~/.opencodex/config.jsonis out of scope. The sync path does not write that file. Its onlysaveConfigis the start-time port persist insrc/cli/index.ts. The issue's third item therefore has a different writer, which matches the maintainer's comment on ocx sync overwrites user edits in ~/.codex/config.toml (default subagent, context windows, effort defaults) #7425 that the three reports need not share one. It is not changed here.Bun.TOML.parse, which rejects integers ≥ 2^53, so a config with such a value is refused today. The old strip happened to remove a rootmodel_context_windowbefore that parse. The span-parser test incodex-config-preservation.test.tstherefore no longer asserts that a plan succeeds with a 2^53+ context window. Real context windows are far below that, and every other key already behaves this way.Verification

Heavy runs were wrapped inflock /tmp/ocx-heavy-test.lock.tests/codex-integration/codex-sync-user-edits.test.ts(registered inscripts/test-layout/layout.jsonandtests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json): runs the real injector in a child process whose four homes all point into a temporary directory. It asserts that the child resolvedCODEX_CONFIG_PATHinside the sandbox, and that the invoking user's~/.codex/{config.toml,opencodex-journal.json,opencodex.config.toml}content fingerprint is identical before and after the suite. Red → green: against the pre-fixsrc/it fails 4 of 6, and with the fix it passes 6 of 6. The review follow-up (b4f6445) adds a seventh case, a marked value rewritten as a multiline string, which fails on c6862ad and passes on b4f6445.codex-sync-user-edits,routing/subagent-defaults,codex-journal,codex-inject,codex-config-preservation,codex-inject-integration,codex-provider-table-retention,clients/client-connect,config/settings-stream-mode,codex-agent-thread-limit): 465 pass.
