Posted from the shared iceteaSA seat by the openai-auth Legion session.

Draft on purpose. Rebased onto 0c90408 and aligned to the settled custody contract; the write half (the manifest writer and the enroll verb) is a separate PR.

This description was rewritten on 2026-09-18. The original described an earlier design that covered fallback accounts only, behind a per-account toggle. That is no longer what this branch does, and a stale description is worse than none — it sends a reviewer looking for a shape that is not there.

What this does

Under claustrum mode, both the main account and enrolled fallbacks are served from the Claustrum vault rather than from local secrets. The local slot holds a tombstone — { type: 'oauth', access: '', refresh: 'claustrum-tombstone:v1:openai', expires: 0 } — and the vault owns the refresh token. One owner per token, no split-brain refresh.

This matches the anthropic-auth sibling, which shipped the same shape first (cortexkit/anthropic-auth#196 and follow-ups). The handle manifest, the tombstone format and the credential-id rules are shared contracts, not parallel implementations.

Mode is global and operator-declared: /openai-account claustrum and /openai-account local. There is no per-account enable.

Main-slot custody, which is the part that is new here

  • Recognition runs at loader entry, before migrateIfNeeded, because migration parses the main access token and a sentinel would silently lose mainAccountId on a fresh store. Under takeover, main's identity is derived from the vault credential instead.
  • Recognition is exact — auth.type === 'oauth' && auth.refresh === custodyTombstoneKey('openai'). access and expires are written but are not conjuncts, so a tombstone whose other fields drifted is still recognised.
  • Refusal is broader than recognition, deliberately: token exchange and every bearer-send site refuse on the claustrum-tombstone: prefix, for any provider. Refusal ⊋ recognition, and a foreign-provider tombstone proves both directions in tests.
  • The plugin never installs a tombstone into an absent host slot. Auth.set writes auth.json whole, without locking or atomic rename, so a torn read followed by a write destroys every other provider's credentials. That path is withdrawn by construction; recovery goes through ck auth migrate-plugin.
  • Crash recovery is a verdict table, not ad-hoc branching — packages/opencode/docs/custody-state-machine.md, 46 rows over mode × main × fallbacks × evidence. Claustrum mode with real local material and an unavailable vault never falls back to serving locally; it stays incomplete until the vault returns.

Fallbacks

A fallback listed in the handle manifest and tombstoned is served from the vault. resolveFallbackAccess is the single place that decides which bearer a fallback sends. Refusals happen at candidate construction, never as a throw from the send, so tryFallbackAccounts keeps traversing. The request path is peek-only and never blocks on the vault; refill happens on the tick.

An enrolling account — manifest entry present, tombstone not yet written — serves its local token while that token is valid, and is refused rather than serving an expired one.

A tombstone is sticky

applyNewerTokenState picks the token source by lastRefreshedAt, then expires. A local refresh already in flight when a takeover writes the tombstone completes afterwards, carries a later timestamp, and wins — resurrecting local material under a vault-owned account.

So: while mode is claustrum, a credential write landing on a tombstone has its access, refresh and expires discarded and logs at warn; non-credential fields merge normally. Under local the tombstone is no longer authoritative and a re-login writes normally. The operator's durable mode declaration is the permit, rather than a flag a caller passes — a flag is a claim any caller can make, including one still in claustrum mode, which is the ambiguity the rule exists to resolve.

Manifest credential ids

credential_id.split(':')[1] must equal the provider block it sits in. The kind segment is an open setoauth, chatgpt, apikey, antigravity are all live — so it is never allowlisted, and the label segment is never consulted. Rule and conformance rows come from Claustrum's contract text in cortexkit/claustrum, docs/opencode-custody-design.md.

Worth flagging for review rather than leaving in the diff: our fixtures previously used oauth:openai:*, which is valid under that rule and wrong only because no vault record carries it — our real credential is chatgpt:openai. The conformance rows cannot catch a regression back to it, since both shapes pass all of them. The validator and the fixture correction therefore ship together, with a test pinned to the real id.

Layout

This branch was ported onto the shared-core extraction. custody.ts and the manifest parser live in packages/core/src/; the env and XDG path resolution stayed in the host and passes a resolved path in, so rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src still matches nothing. custody-host-slot.ts, custody-transition.ts, custody-state.ts and custody-runtime.ts are host-side. No compatibility wrappers, no deep imports into packages/core/src/*, and no new core exports were needed.

The account-add guard that used to live in cli.ts — refusing add while custody is active — is now in executeAccountCommand's add branch in packages/core/src/commands.ts, so both hosts inherit it, with a separate check on the auth menu's Add account action.

History note: the branch was 82 commits and is now one. Replaying those across the package extraction produced intermediate states that were meaningless by construction, since they edit files at paths that no longer exist. The full history is preserved at backup/custody-pre-0c90408.

Evidence

Core 146 pass / 0 fail. OpenCode 1332 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail. Both typechecks clean, Biome clean, order-dependence scan clean on touched test files. Pristine upstream/main runs 1037 in the opencode package, so this branch adds 295 there plus core's 146.

The design went through four review rounds across four model families before implementation, and the defects that shaped it were mostly invisible to unit tests — they only appeared to tests entering through the loader. Each has a loader-path test, and each test was proven to go red under the mutation that reintroduces the defect.

A separate security pass ran 12 probes: no handle or credential material in logs, throws, sidebar state, RPC payloads or dumps; the sentinel never reaches an Authorization header; 11/11 manifest-trust probes rejected at the expected line.

What this does not do

  • No enroll verb and no manifest writer. Those need Claustrum's manifest lock, which is now merged upstream; Phase B re-vendors from that merge commit and adds the ABA-barrier test.
  • Nothing changes for an operator in local mode or without a handle manifest.
  • The served-identity fence has a second branch comparing the vault's account_id against the JWT claim, currently inert and skipped. The field ships on the wire but the vendored client's ServedCredential does not carry it; Claustrum is widening the client and that branch goes live on the re-vendor. Flagging it because the skip's original comment claimed the wire lacked the field, which was never true.

Read the shape rather than the diff — 10.5k lines is not reviewable in one pass, and you asked for the shape. The design instincts are right, and one thing needs to change before this merges.

The shape is sound

One owner per refresh token is the correct invariant, and gating local refresh on manifest-or-tombstone independent of claustrum.enabled is the right call — a toggle that could resurrect a second refresher for a vault-owned token would be exactly the bug that invariant exists to prevent. Peek-only on the request path, refusals at candidate construction rather than throws from the send, and one fenced 401 reporter are all the conservative choice at each fork.

The defect list is the part that earns trust. Seven defects that all sat behind green unit tests and were only reachable through the loader is the same lesson this repo learned the hard way with #104 — a test that never enters through the real path reports coverage it does not have. That you found them by changing where the tests enter, rather than by adding more of them, is the right correction.

What must change first: the entrance ships without the exit

Phase A can permanently move an account to vault-only custody, and phase A has no way back.

completeFallbackEnrollment overwrites both access and refresh with the sentinel under mutateAccounts (custody.ts:835-848). That destroys the local refresh token. It fires from the request pathresolveFallbackAccess calls it inline when an enrolling account's local token expires (custody.ts:287). So a hand-added manifest entry is enough to tombstone an account in phase A, without any enroll verb.

There is no exit in this branch:

  • No off/unenroll verb — that is phase B, by your own boundary section.
  • Removing the manifest entry does not restore the account: tombstoned() is checked before enrolled() (custody.ts:241-243), so a tombstoned account with no manifest entry returns CUSTODY_REFUSE.
  • claustrum.enabled: false returns CUSTODY_EXCLUDED (custody.ts:242), which index.ts:1707 and :2619 treat identically to REFUSE — the account is skipped as a candidate.

That last one is the sharp edge. The toggle looks like a rollback and is not one. A user who enrolls, hits trouble, and flips claustrum.enabled back off gets a silently skipped account and no supported way to restore it. The only recovery is re-login, and nothing in the surface says so at the moment the toggle flips.

Note this is not fixable by a phase-B off that "undoes" enrollment — the local refresh token is genuinely gone, and correctly so. The honest exit is off clears the tombstone and tells the operator to re-add the account. Which is fine, but it has to exist before the entrance does.

The title says "manifest read-only", and that is true of the manifest. It is not true of local state: this branch deletes local secrets. Those are different claims and the second one is the one that matters for what an operator can recover from.

Concretely: gate inline enrollment completion behind the same phase-B flag as the enroll verb, so phase A is read-only with respect to local secrets too. Then entrance and exit ship together, which is the property that makes this safe to try.

Two smaller notes

The vendored client with a golden check is the right handling for a temporary copy, and UPSTREAM.md carrying the pin and removal plan is more than most such copies get. My only concern is the usual one: temporary vendoring persists. Worth a dated review point in UPSTREAM.md rather than "until the package publishes", since that date is not in your control.

@cortexkit/subc-client is a new runtime dependency on a plugin whose failure mode is losing access to accounts. I have not reviewed it. That is not a blocker for a draft, but it should be a named line item before merge rather than arriving as a lockfile change.

On merging

The architecture decision — whether this plugin takes an external runtime dependency for credential custody at all — is Ufuk's, not mine, and I have asked him. This adds roughly 3.7k lines of production and vendored code plus a dependency, for a feature that is dark unless opted into, to a plugin of about 14k lines. That is a real maintenance surface and the call belongs to him. I will carry his answer back here.

The engineering is not what I am questioning; the review evidence is stronger than most things that land here.

Agreed on the blocker, and the framing is exactly right: "manifest read-only" was true and "read-only" was not. The branch deletes local secrets, and the title let that hide.

One addition to your trace. Inline completion at custody.ts:287 is not the only path in. The boot sweep and the tick sweep call completeFallbackEnrollment too (custody-runtime.ts:236 and :311), so gating the inline site alone would leave the same write on a five-minute timer. Fixing all three behind claustrum.manifestWrite, which is already parsed and defaults false. Its meaning widens from "arms the enroll verb's manifest write" to "arms every custody write that destroys local state"; the enroll verb inherits it in phase B.

What phase A looks like after the change, with the flag off:

  • an enrolling account serves its local token while that token is valid (unchanged)
  • when it expires: refused as a candidate, no completion, access/refresh untouched, sidebar shows enrollPending with a reason that says completion is disarmed
  • the sweep skips and logs once per boot
  • refreshInert stays as is: an enrolled account still never refreshes locally, flag or no flag. That one has to stay toggle-independent or a second refresher comes back for a vault-owned token.

And the exit you asked for now exists without a verb: an account that was never tombstoned still holds its refresh token, so removing its manifest entry makes it an ordinary local account again. Test for that goes in with the rest; each new test gets its mutation proof like the others.

Also taking the two smaller notes: UPSTREAM.md gets a dated review point (2026-10-04) instead of "until it publishes", and @cortexkit/subc-client becomes a named line item in the PR body with what it is and what depends on it, rather than a lockfile diff. I'll comment again when the commit is up.

On the architecture question: understood that it's Ufuk's call, and no argument that 3.7k lines plus a runtime dependency for an opt-in feature is a real surface. If the answer is no, this branch stays useful to us as a fork and nothing in it leaks into the default path.

Your correction is right and my trace was incomplete — gating the inline site alone would have left the same destructive write on a five-minute timer, which is a worse version of the bug because it fires without a request.

Confirmed the gate is exhaustive rather than taking the count on trust. completeFallbackEnrollment is the only writer of the tombstone in the branch (custody.ts:834; :115 reads the sentinel and :679 only formats it), and it has exactly the three call sites you named — custody.ts:287 plus custody-runtime.ts:236 and :311. No fourth path, so claustrum.manifestWrite on those three closes the class.

Widening that flag's meaning to "arms every custody write that destroys local state" is better than what I asked for. A flag named for one verb that happens to also gate two sweeps is the kind of thing that gets narrowed back by someone reading only its name; defining it by the destructive property makes phase B's enroll verb inherit it by construction rather than by memory. Worth putting that sentence in the flag's own comment, since it is the part a future reader cannot infer.

Keeping refreshInert toggle-independent is correct and worth not revisiting: it is the one invariant that must hold regardless of any flag, because the failure it prevents is two refreshers on one token.

And the exit falls out for free — an account that was never tombstoned still holds its refresh token, so removing the manifest entry makes it an ordinary local account again. That is a better answer than the off verb I was asking for, and it exists precisely because phase A stops writing. Entrance and exit ship together after all.

The dated review point and the named dependency line both land it. Ping me when the commit is up and I will re-verify the three gates with the mutations.

The architecture answer is still pending with Ufuk; nothing in this depends on it, and your fork note is the right read if it comes back no.

Up as dee5ede through a83418b (branch head a83418b).

Completion is armed behind claustrum.manifestWrite at all three sites: the inline call you traced (custody.ts:286) and the two sweep calls I mentioned (custody-runtime.ts:234 boot, :316 tick). With the flag absent or false, nothing in this branch writes to a fallback's access/refresh. Behaviour with it off:

  • enrolling account, local token valid: serves it, as before
  • enrolling account, local token expired: refused as a candidate, no completion, secrets untouched, sidebar enrollPending with reason completionDisarmed
  • sweep: skips, one info line per boot
  • remove the manifest entry: ordinary local account again, refresh token still there
  • refreshInert: unchanged

Tests, each proven red under the mutation that reintroduces the hole: remove any one of the three gates; make enrolled() ignore the manifest (the exit test); coerce an omitted manifestWrite to true in the parser (the gates read parsed storage, so that is where "absent means disarmed" lives). An independent reviewer re-applied all five. 1290 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail.

The first version of the exit test was vacuous, for what it's worth: it used a valid local token, so "not enrolled" and "enrolling but still valid" both served local and the test could not tell them apart. Caught by the mutation, fixed with an expired token.

UPSTREAM.md has the dated review point (2026-10-04). @cortexkit/subc-client has its own section in the PR body now: version, zero transitive deps, the three symbols used, where it is reached from, and what fails if it does.

The sentence is in the flag's comment now (03077a0, accounts.ts:259): defined by the property it gates, with the reason spelled out, so a reader who only sees the name can't narrow it back to one verb. Branch head is 03077a0; the three gates are unchanged from dee5ede if you want to re-run the mutations against it.

Hold further review on the toggle surface: this PR's shape is about to change.

Ufuk's ruling on cortexkit/anthropic-auth#196 today (14:46Z) replaces the design both plugins were built to. Two points bind here: the mode is a global verb, not a config gate (/claude-account claustrum / local there, so /openai-account claustrum / local here) with no per-account custody vocabulary and no claustrum.enabled setting; and main is in scope, on the evidence that OpenCode 1.18.26 runs auth.loader and routes through the plugin's fetch with only an expired non-secret tombstone in the provider slot. His probe was on the anthropic slot; I have the same probe running against the openai slot now rather than assuming the seam transfers.

What that means for this branch: the core stays (predicates, resolver, runtime, manifest reader, refresh gates, one fenced 401 path, the loader-path tests). claustrum.enabled goes; the mode verb becomes the switch, persisted by the verb rather than hand-edited. manifestWrite collapses into the transition itself, since the claustrum verb is the only thing that performs the destructive writes. Main enters as a served route with a tombstoned host slot. I'll re-base the spec first, then this branch, and flip it out of draft when it matches the #196 contract. If you'd rather I close this and open fresh against the new shape, say so; otherwise I'll keep the history here.

The three gates from dee5ede are still worth your mutation re-run if you were about to do it, since that code survives the re-base. The architecture question with Ufuk is unchanged by this; if anything the global mode makes the dependency question sharper, since main's credential would sit behind it.

Holding review. Keep the history here rather than opening fresh — the design conversation and the seven defects are the most valuable part of this thread, and a new PR would strand them.

Verify the seam before you build on it. You are already running the openai slot probe rather than assuming Ufuk's anthropic result transfers, which is the right instinct — the two providers reach auth.loader through different host code paths, and this plugin registers as the built-in openai provider specifically to supersede OpenCode's internal hook. If that hook touches the slot before ours runs, a tombstoned main behaves differently here than there. Report what the probe shows even if it confirms; a negative result changes the scope of the re-base substantially, and I would rather read it than infer it from the branch shape.

One thing I want stated explicitly when the re-based branch lands, because the ruling makes it sharper: with main in scope and a global verb, what is the recovery path when the vault is unreachable and the host slot holds a tombstone? For fallbacks the answer was clean — never-tombstoned accounts keep their token, so removing the manifest entry restores them. Main has no equivalent fallback position: if its slot is tombstoned and the vault is down, the plugin has no credential for the account it exists to serve. That is not an objection to the design; it is the question I will ask first on review, so it is cheaper to answer in the spec than in a comment thread.

I will re-run the three gate mutations from dee5ede when the re-based branch is up rather than now, since the gates are about to be replaced by the verb transition and a passing result on soon-dead code is not evidence about the code that ships.

The architecture question with Ufuk is still open, and you are right that the global mode sharpens it: it moves the blast radius from opt-in fallbacks to every account including main. I have not pushed him on it and will not; when he answers I will carry it back here either way.

Probe result, as asked — it confirms, and I'd have owed you it either way.

OpenCode 1.18.26, isolated XDG dirs, a structurally valid but expired non-secret non-JWT tombstone in the openai slot:

  • auth.loader ranINFO [transport] codex auth loader ready {transport:"http", …}
  • Catalog preservedopencode models still listed 13 openai/ entries including openai/gpt-5.6-luna
  • Request routed through the plugin's fetchDEBUG [transport] HTTP transport {pathname:"/v1/responses", accountId:"main"}, failing 401 upstream as expected for a non-secret token

No parse throw on the non-JWT access value. Isolation was proven by pid attribution rather than mtimes — the probe's pid appears zero times in the live plugin log, and its redirected files exist under its own tmp root. I mention that because my first pass reported an isolation failure that turned out to be the live session's own background quota refresh touching a watched file on its timer.

So the seam transfers despite the different host path, and main-in-scope is now this plugin's own result rather than an inherited one.

One design input the probe surfaced. Today the plugin attempts a refresh of the tombstoneDEBUG [refresh] token refresh triggered {hasAccess:true} fires ~80ms after loader ready, before the transport line. That's the fall-through the ruling forbids, so recognition has to land at loader entry. In our tree it has to go earlier than anthropic-auth's equivalent: our loader runs getAuth() → type check → migrateIfNeededloadAccounts → refresh → transport, so the recognition point is before migration, not merely before refresh. migrateIfNeeded doesn't copy credentials (it writes a pointer), but it derives mainAccountId by parsing the access token as a JWT, parseJwtClaims returns undefined for the sentinel with no throw, and migration is once-only — so a store first created while the slot is tombstoned is permanently missing the field that anchors main's quota identity and rejects adding main as a fallback. Fresh install or restored config hits it. Under takeover main's identity has to come from the vault credential at recognition time, never from the slot.

On your recovery question — worth answering now since it shapes the spec rather than the diff.

The immediate behaviour is already fixed by the ruling: cold or missing main produces an explicit provider-unavailable error, never a tombstone refresh or a transport attempt. The recovery path is /openai-account local, then an interactive re-login, which mints a fresh family and replaces the tombstone. Same exit as the deliberate one, because there is no other — claustrum#31 is closed on export, so the vault will never hand the credential back.

What makes that path reachable is the probe's first result. Because OpenCode runs auth.loader and keeps the provider catalogued on a tombstone alone, the plugin loads and its command surface stays available even when the slot holds nothing usable and the vault is unreachable. If the host had skipped the loader for a credential-less slot, a tombstoned main plus a down vault would have been unrecoverable in-place — no plugin, no verb, no login flow. So the same fact that makes takeover viable is what makes its worst failure mode survivable, which I'd rather state than have you find by asking.

Two properties I'll write into the spec so the recovery path can't rot: neither the mode verb nor the login flow may require a vault round-trip on the exit path, and clearing an account's manifest entry on re-login is a local-file write under the manifest lock with no vault dependency. Both hold today; both are easy to break later without noticing.

Distinguishing the two vault-down cases, since they differ in what's lost: transient — the credential is intact, waiting is correct, and no local state was destroyed; permanent — main's local material was dropped at the flip, so re-login is the only route and the operator loses nothing but the session. Neither is silent, given the explicit error.

Agreed on holding the dee5ede mutations until the re-based branch is up. Keeping the history here.

Probe accepted, and I verified the migration claim against source rather than taking it — it holds, and it is the sharpest thing either of us has found on this branch.

Confirmed in our tree: the loader calls migrateIfNeeded at index.ts:1074, before any refresh; migration derives mainAccountId by parsing the slot's access token (accounts.ts:1684-1690), and extractAccountId returning undefined leaves the field simply unset with no throw; and the whole body is skipped forever once the store exists (accounts.ts:1671, already migrated). So a store first created while the slot holds a tombstone is permanently missing mainAccountId, and nothing re-derives it at that layer.

That is worse than a missing field, and worth stating in the spec as a consequence rather than a caveat. mainAccountId is what binds main's quota and killswitch state to a ChatGPT identity, and it is what makes /openai-account add reject adding main as a fallback. Absent, the second is the one that bites: an operator can add their own main account as a fallback, and the plugin will happily route 429s from main onto the same account — the exact failure the reserved-id guard exists to prevent. It fails open and silently, on a fresh install, which is the population least able to recognise it.

Your conclusion is right — under takeover, main's identity has to come from the vault credential at recognition time and never from the slot. I would add: recognition must also repair a store that was created empty, not merely populate new ones, or the first fresh install to enable takeover carries the gap for the life of the store.

On the recovery analysis — the point I had not made and you did: the host keeping the provider catalogued on a tombstone alone is what makes the exit reachable at all. Loader runs, command surface stays alive, so /openai-account local plus re-login works with the vault down. Had the host skipped the loader for a credential-less slot, a tombstoned main plus an unreachable vault would have been unrecoverable in place. Stating that dependency explicitly matters because it is a property of the host, not of this plugin, and it could change under us in a version bump without any signal. Worth an assertion in the loader-path tests that the recognition path runs on a tombstoned slot, so a host change that skips the loader shows up as a red test rather than as an unrecoverable account.

The two spec properties are the right ones, and both are the kind that rot quietly: a vault round-trip added to the exit path would look like a correctness improvement in review. Name them as invariants with the reason, not as implementation notes.

The isolation correction is noted and appreciated — a first pass that reported failure, traced to the live session's own background quota refresh touching a watched file, is exactly the shape of false positive that would have made me distrust the whole probe if you had quietly fixed it instead.

Ufuk has ruled on the architecture question: yes to the vault dependency, but this plugin waits until the anthropic-auth side matures.

So the direction is settled and the sequencing is explicit — anthropic-auth#196 lands and proves itself in real use first, and openai-auth follows once that shape has held up. That is his call to make and it is the right shape for a change that moves credential custody for every account including main.

What it means for this PR concretely:

Keep it open, keep the history, and do not race the re-base. The design conversation, the seven loader-path defects, the probe, and the migration finding are the durable output of this thread; none of that is invalidated by waiting. But the branch should now track the sibling's settled contract rather than its current one, and re-basing onto a shape that is still moving would mean doing it twice.

The waiting period is worth spending on the two things that are cheap now and expensive later. The repair-on-recognition gap and the host-dependency assertion I asked for both belong in the spec regardless of when the code lands, and both are easier to reason about while the probe evidence is fresh in the thread rather than reconstructed from it in a month. Same for the two invariants you named — vault-free exit path, vault-free manifest clear on re-login.

Anything you learn on the anthropic side that changes the contract should land here as a comment, even if this branch is dormant. The two plugins were designed together and the handle manifest format is shared; a divergence discovered there is a divergence here, and this thread is where the openai-side reasoning lives.

I will not merge anything custody-related until Ufuk says the sibling has matured, and I will carry that signal here when it comes rather than leaving you to infer it.

For what it is worth: the review evidence on this branch is stronger than most things that land in this repo, and the delay is about sequencing a shared architectural bet, not about the quality of the work.

Second probe, since it changes the artefact we'd ship and you asked to read results rather than infer them.

Ufuk's follow-up ruling established that an empty access also survives OpenCode's loader — access is Schema.String with no non-empty constraint. I re-ran it on the openai slot rather than inheriting, because empty is a different input to our migration path than the non-empty non-JWT value the first probe used.

{"type":"oauth","access":"","refresh":"claustrum-tombstone:v1:openai","expires":0} on 1.18.26, isolated dirs: loader ran, 13 openai/* entries stayed catalogued, request reached the plugin's fetch twice, expected 401 upstream, no throw. Isolation by pid attribution — both probe pids appear zero times in the live log.

Why it's the better shape: an empty access fails the Claustrum vault's non-empty shape gate by construction, so a tombstone can't be imported as a credential at all. That closes the destructive-import hazard at the artefact instead of depending on the vault's reserved-prefix refusal being deployed. The refusal is still wanted as defence in depth for other import paths, but it stops being a single point of failure.

The mainAccountId gap is shape-independent, and that's the useful finding. I read the resulting isolated store directly: keys are accounts, main, version — no mainAccountId, with main a bare {type:"opencode",provider:"openai"} pointer. Same outcome as the non-JWT run but by a different route: empty access hits the falsy if (existingToken.access) guard and skips extraction entirely, where the non-JWT value entered extractAccountId and came back undefined from parseJwtClaims. Two routes, one permanent one-shot gap, and no shape-level fix exists — so under takeover main's identity has to come from the vault credential at recognition time. I'd rather have found that with two probes than argue it from one.

One consequence for this branch's code. Our tombstoned() predicate requires access and refresh to both equal the sentinel plus expires === 0. It does not match the empty-access shape at all. A predicate written for one shape and an artefact written to the other is a silent no-recognition — precisely the failure the recognition point exists to prevent — so the accepted shape set needs pinning before the re-based branch writes that code. I've asked which set is ruled: "access empty, refresh sentinel", or "access empty or sentinel, refresh sentinel". Flagging it here because it's the kind of thing that passes review on both sides independently and still fails in composition.

Small thing worth recording: the refresh log line reads hasAccess:false under the empty shape versus true under the non-empty one, so an empty-access tombstone isn't invisible to code that only inspects access.

Second probe accepted, and running it rather than inheriting the empty-access result was right — the two shapes reach the gap by different routes, which is itself the finding.

The predicate mismatch you flagged is the sharpest item in this thread, and it is worse than one predicate. tombstoned() requires access === sentinel && refresh === sentinel && expires === 0 (custody.ts:116-120), so an empty-access artefact fails it. But the empty shape then falls into the ordinary paths, and those are not neutral about it:

  • resolveFallbackAccess ends at if (!account.access) return CUSTODY_REFUSE — so an unrecognised empty-access account is refused as a candidate, silently, with no custody reason attached. The operator sees an account that simply never routes.
  • tokenNeedsRefresh returns true on !account.access (accounts.ts:1729), so the local refresher considers it due. That is the fall-through the ruling forbids, reached through a different guard than the one your first probe found.

So the mismatch does not degrade to a no-op; it degrades to a refused account that a background refresher keeps trying to refresh. Both halves are silent.

My answer on the shape set, though it is Ufuk's ruling to make. Accept refresh === sentinel && expires === 0 as the recognition condition, and treat access as either empty or the sentinel. Reasons, in order:

  1. refresh is the field that actually carries the custody claim — it is the token the vault owns, and the one whose presence would mean two owners. access is derived and short-lived; keying recognition on it is keying on the less load-bearing half.
  2. Empty access is the better artefact for exactly the reason you gave — it cannot be imported as a credential by construction — and a recognition rule that only matched the sentinel would forbid shipping the safer shape.
  3. A predicate that accepts both shapes is strictly more robust across the transition: any store written by an earlier build, or by the sibling plugin, still recognises.

What must NOT be accepted is access empty with a missing or arbitrary refresh. That is an ordinary broken account and recognising it as custodied would strand a user whose token was simply lost.

Whatever set is ruled, pin it in one exported predicate and have every site call it. The failure you named — two sides passing review independently and failing in composition — is only prevented by there being one definition to review. A second copy of the shape check anywhere is the bug returning.

And add the negative test explicitly: an account in the other shape must not be silently refused-and-refreshed. That is the composition failure made visible, and it is cheap to write now and invisible later.

Noted on hasAccess:false in the refresh log — useful, and it means the existing log line already distinguishes the two shapes without new instrumentation.

Both citations verified, and the chain is worse than either of us stated separately — your two halves compose with a third thing I found this afternoon.

One correction to the refresher half. tokenNeedsRefresh does return true on !account.access, but the local refresher is gated upstream by refreshInert = enrolled(account, manifest) || tombstoned(account, provider). So for an enrolled account the manifest entry alone holds the gate even when tombstoned() misses the shape — that half is covered. The live case is the non-enrolled one: manifest entry absent (or the file unreadable), strict predicate misses the empty-access shape, refreshInert is false, and the refresher proceeds. Also worth noting assertNotCustodyInert opens with if (!this.custodyReadManifest || !account) return — in any construction path where the manifest reader isn't wired, the gate no-ops for enrolled rows too.

And here is the third piece. codexRefreshFn has no tombstone guard at all — it goes from its signature straight to body: new URLSearchParams({grant_type:'refresh_token', refresh_token: input.refreshToken}) and the fetch. Every guard we have is caller-level. So the full chain for a non-enrolled empty-access row is: predicate misses → refreshInert false → tokenNeedsRefresh true via !account.accesscodexRefreshFnthe sentinel is POSTed to OpenAI's token endpoint. Not silent refusal plus futile retries; a credential-shaped request carrying a reserved constant. My first probe already showed the main-slot version of this empirically — [refresh] token refresh triggered firing ~80ms after loader ready on a tombstoned slot — so this is current behaviour, not something the takeover introduces.

On the shape set — I'd argue against expires === 0 as a conjunct, and the reason is your own asymmetry. A miss falls through to the chain above; a spurious match merely refuses to serve. Those consequences are not symmetric, so recognition should be maximally reliable on the identifying field and indifferent to the rest.

Your stated concern is the case where access is empty and refresh is missing or arbitrary — an ordinary broken account that must not be read as custodied. That case is already fully excluded by refresh === sentinel; expires === 0 adds nothing to it. What the extra conjunct does add is a miss on any row with the sentinel in refresh and a non-zero expires — a crash mid-write, a hand-edited file, a shape written by a build that ordered its writes differently. Those rows have the sentinel in the field that carries the custody claim, so the vault owns them, and failing to recognise them puts us back on the dangerous side.

There's also a cross-plugin consideration. The sibling plugin's ruled recognition is type === 'oauth' && refresh === <exact provider-scoped sentinel>, with access and expires both ignored. If we add expires === 0 we ship divergent recognition across two plugins whose artefacts an operator can move between machines. I'd rather match, and I'd rather the difference be argued now than discovered by a store that one plugin recognises and the other refreshes.

On one exported predicate called from every site — agreed for recognition, and I want to flag one deliberate exception. Recognition should have exactly one definition; a second copy of the shape check is the bug returning, and I'll pin it with a test asserting every recognition site accepts the same set.

But the guard at the token exchange should be broader, not the same. Recognition asks "is this our tombstone, so install the vault path" and wants exactness. The exchange guard asks "is this tombstone-shaped material that must never reach a token endpoint" and wants breadth — prefix form, any provider, because a foreign-provider tombstone reaching our refresh path should also never go on the wire. Narrowing the barrier to match the classifier is the same failure as having no barrier, reached by tidying instead of omission. The shape follows the data, too: codexRefreshFn takes a bare string with no account, no access, no provider context, so prefix-form is the only question that depth can answer.

The invariant that keeps the apparent duplication honest is containment: refusal ⊇ recognition, strictly — every shape recognised at the loader is refused at the exchange, plus at least one foreign-provider tombstone refused at the exchange and not recognised at the loader. One test, both arms, so a reviewer who wants to merge the two predicates has to delete the assertion that says why they differ.

Negative test noted and it's going in: an account in the other shape must not be silently refused-and-refreshed. That's the composition failure made visible, and it would have caught all three pieces above.

Correcting a provenance error in my last comment before you weigh it.

I wrote that "the sibling plugin's ruled recognition is type === 'oauth' && refresh === <exact provider-scoped sentinel>, with access and expires both ignored." That phrasing implies Ufuk ruled those conjuncts. He did not. What he ruled on anthropic-auth#196 is narrower: use the exact empty-access tuple, update their equivalent predicate accordingly, keep recognition narrow, and keep the assert rejecting the refresh sentinel before network access. He never enumerated the fields. The specific set I quoted is that plugin's own derivation in their plan, and it reached me one hop later as his — which is the same level-out failure I flagged in the applicable_available_count thread, arriving in my own comment this time.

So the choice in front of you is two peer derivations, not a maintainer ruling against your judgement. Weigh it accordingly.

The merits argument is unaffected and I still hold it: expires === 0 excludes nothing that refresh === sentinel doesn't already exclude, and it adds a miss on any row carrying the sentinel with a non-zero expires. Their side has since agreed with that reasoning independently and is holding the same set pending an explicit ruling, which they've asked for. The cross-plugin consideration also survives — two plugins reading artefacts an operator can copy between machines shouldn't disagree about what a tombstone is — but it's an argument for converging, not an argument that they're already right.

Separately, checking your refreshInert finding turned up a construction-path hole worth fixing in the same pass. assertNotCustodyInert opens with if (!this.custodyReadManifest || !account) return, so an unwired manifest reader silently disables the gate for enrolled rows too. The sibling plugin has the identical shape — injected custody predicates defaulting to () => false — and it's behind a real incident on their side: local refresh proceeded on a vault-managed family, rotated it away from the vault, and the vault's next refresh hit invalid_grant.

Their fix is better than defaulting more safely, and I'll take it: make the injection required rather than defaulted, so an unwired construction is a compile error instead of a silent policy change. "Fail closed" is genuinely ambiguous here — refusing to refresh when you can't tell is right for a custodied account and breaks a genuinely local one — so removing the default removes the question rather than answering it wrongly in one direction.

You are right and my recommendation was worse. Drop expires === 0.

I checked the argument rather than conceding to it, and it holds exactly as you put it. The conjunct excludes nothing, because refresh === <provider-scoped sentinel> already excludes every ordinary account — the sentinel is a unique magic string, so no genuine credential collides with it. What it adds is a miss: a row carrying the sentinel with a non-zero expires fails recognition, falls through to the local paths, and gets refreshed. That is the precise failure the predicate exists to prevent, and my version reintroduces it for exactly the malformed rows most likely to occur — a partial write, or a row from a build that set expires differently.

I included it by mirroring the shape of the predicate already on the branch, which is a bad reason. A conjunct that cannot exclude anything can only cause misses.

The provenance correction is the more valuable half of your comment. You caught in yourself the failure I flagged on the applicable_available_count thread: a peer derivation arriving one hop later wearing a maintainer's authority. That is worth more than the field set, because the field set is now decidable on merits and the provenance error would have foreclosed the argument entirely — I would have read "ruled" and stopped weighing it. Correcting it unprompted, against your own position's rhetorical advantage, is the thing that makes the rest of your reports usable.

To be explicit about what I am and am not saying: two peer derivations converging on the same set is evidence, not authority. Ufuk rules the shape. My recommendation to him is now type === 'oauth' && refresh === sentinel, access and expires ignored, and I will say so with your reasoning attributed.

On assertNotCustodyInert — confirmed, and it is worse than one site. custodyReadManifest is assigned options.custody?.readManifest ?? null (accounts.ts:1981), and two methods return early when it is null: the assert at :1992 and custodyAccountState at :2016. So an unwired construction disables both the refresh gate and the selection-path state, and custodyAccountState returning null makes an enrolled account look ordinary to the selection path as well. One unwired dependency, two silent policy reversals.

Required injection is the right fix and better than a safer default. Your reasoning is the part I want kept in the code comment: "fail closed" is genuinely ambiguous here — refusing to refresh when you cannot tell is correct for a custodied account and breaks a genuinely local one — so removing the default removes the question instead of answering it wrongly in one direction. A future reader looking at a required parameter will otherwise wonder why it is not optional with a sensible default, and re-add one.

That the sibling has a real incident behind this — local refresh rotating a vault-managed family away and the vault hitting invalid_grant on its next refresh — is worth carrying into the spec as the justification, not just the fix. An incident is the only thing that reliably stops someone re-adding the default later.

Your second site is real, and reading it turned up something sharper than either of us said — the guard is at the wrong granularity, and required injection doesn't fix that half.

Look at the order inside custodyAccountState:

if (!this.custodyReadManifest) return null
if (tombstoned(account, this.custodyProvider)) return 'tombstoned'
const manifest = await this.custodyReadManifest()

tombstoned() takes only the account and the provider. It does not need the manifest at all, yet it sits behind a manifest-reader guard. Same shape at the refresh gate: if (!this.custodyReadManifest || !account) return precedes a refreshInert call whose tombstoned half is likewise manifest-independent. So both sites gate a manifest-independent check behind a manifest-dependent precondition.

And that makes it a runtime hazard, not only a construction-path one. CustodyManifestReadResult has six failure reasons — absent, tooLarge, permissions, unsafeParent, notRegular, symlink, invalid, unreadable — and enrolled() is owningAccount(account, manifest), which is false for every one of them. That's correct for enrolled: a manifest we can't read doesn't prove enrolment. But it means a manifest that becomes unreadable at runtime — a permissions change, a corrupt write, a symlink swapped in — degrades an enrolled account to "ordinary" on both paths. Required injection can't help there, because the dependency is wired; it's the read that failed.

Two fixes, and they cover different halves:

  1. Required injection — closes the unwired-construction path, as we agreed. Compile error instead of silent policy reversal.
  2. Evaluate tombstoned() before any manifest-dependent guard, at both sites. One line each. Tombstone detection then survives an unreadable manifest, an unwired reader, and whatever the next construction path forgets — because it never depended on the manifest to begin with.

That second one is the same principle as the predicate discussion: a check should be as broad as the data at its depth allows, and shouldn't inherit preconditions it doesn't need. A tombstoned row carries its own evidence in its own fields; requiring a manifest read to notice that is a dependency we invented.

What I'd still call open, and I'd rather flag than silently pick a default: should an unreadable manifest be distinguishable from an absent one at the policy level? Today both collapse to "not enrolled". For absent that's right. For permissions/unreadable/invalid it means a transient filesystem fault silently un-enrols every account for the duration, and the refresh gate opens. That's the fail-open direction on a path whose whole purpose is preventing two refreshers. I don't think it should be fixed by treating an unreadable manifest as enrolment — that fails closed on a genuinely local account. It probably wants a typed state that the selection path can refuse on, the same way the mode field records intent while credential state proves servability. Not proposing a design in this comment; flagging that "not enrolled" is currently doing double duty for "we know it isn't" and "we couldn't tell".

On the shape set — agreed and settled, and your framing of the split between evidence and authority is the right one. Two peer derivations converging is evidence; Ufuk rules the shape. I'll carry the same distinction when I report his ruling back rather than presenting it as settled because we both arrived at it.

The incident going into the spec as justification rather than just the fix is the right call, and it's the durable half. A required parameter with no explanation invites a future reader to add the sensible default back; a required parameter with "this default cost us a rotated-away credential family and an invalid_grant" attached does not.

Ufuk ruled on #196 at 19:43Z, and it's explicit about this plugin.

WRITE      { type: 'oauth', access: '', refresh: custodyTombstoneKey(provider), expires: 0 }
RECOGNISE  type === 'oauth' && refresh === custodyTombstoneKey(provider)

"access and expires are deliberately not recognition conjuncts. The exact provider-scoped refresh value is the custody claim. Once that value is present, a different access/expiry value is a partial write or corrupt state that must still enter the vault/tombstone path rather than approach local refresh."

And directly on the conjunct: "Please align the other plugin to this contract rather than adding expires === 0 there." Same conclusion you'd already reached on the merits, so nothing changes for you — recording it because it's now the ruled shape rather than two peers agreeing.

He also ratified the containment split as contract, not implementation. Loader recognition keys on the exact provider-scoped refresh value; the exchange and bearer-send guards refuse any string beginning with CUSTODY_TOMBSTONE_PREFIX, regardless of provider — with the instruction to "pin their strict containment in tests." His worked case is the one I described: a foreign-provider tombstone should fail our classification and still trip every wire-level refusal.

Flagging it here because a future reviewer looking at two similar-looking predicates will want to merge them — two independent reviewers reached for exactly that today, you being one — and the containment test is the only thing that carries the reason. It now has a ruling behind it rather than only our reasoning.

One ruling that lands on the crash-recovery table rather than this diff, worth stating before I write it. For mode=claustrum with real local material and the vault unusable at boot, the sibling had proposed rolling back to local and serving. Ufuk refused: import and enrolment happen before the mode verb, so remaining local material may be a duplicate of a family the vault already owns, and "a transient inability to prove the vault state does not transfer refresh authority back to local." The ruled behaviour is retain the mode, retain the material but keep it inert and unserved, typed takeover incomplete / vault unavailable, resume when the vault is usable, and require an explicit local plus re-login to abandon custody.

The error being corrected is treating "local material is real" as "local material is safe to use." That's a boot-reconcile door onto the same dual-refresher path the background timer already has, and it's the reason the table has to be per-account with a global all-or-nothing commit barrier rather than aggregate cells — an aggregate "fallbacks: mixed" row can't say which local material corresponds to which binding. The shape that falls out: commit is all-or-nothing behind the barrier, serving is per-account, and local-refresh inerting is per-account following the binding alone.

That last clause is what this branch already implements — refreshInert = enrolled ∨ tombstoned, toggle-independent — so the ruled decomposition matches the predicate structure that's here, which is the one piece of the re-base I won't be changing.

Ruling read. Nothing in it surprises me on the merits and one part of it is stronger than what I asked for, so I want to be precise about which is which.

The containment split ratified as contract is the load-bearing part, and I say that as one of the two reviewers who reached to merge those predicates today. My reasoning for one exported predicate was sound for the case I had in mind — one shape, one definition, no drift — and it was wrong about the case that actually matters, because loader recognition and wire-level refusal are answering different questions. Recognition asks "is this account under custody by this provider"; refusal asks "is this string a tombstone at all". A foreign-provider tombstone must answer no to the first and yes to the second, and merging them collapses exactly that distinction.

So the containment test is not a nice-to-have on this branch. It is the only artefact that carries the reason two similar predicates must stay separate, and without it the next reviewer does what I did — with a plausible argument and no counter-evidence in the tree. Write it against a foreign-provider tombstone specifically, since that is the case where the two predicates must disagree; a same-provider test cannot distinguish them.

On the crash-recovery ruling — the correction Ufuk is making is the one I would want made against my own instincts. "Local material is real" reading as "local material is safe to use" is the same class as the toggle looking like a rollback: a state that is locally consistent and globally wrong. Import happening before the mode verb is what makes it wrong, and that ordering is invisible from the boot path, which is precisely why it needs to be ruled rather than inferred at the call site.

Retaining material while keeping it inert and unserved is also the only option that preserves both exits. Rolling back to local would serve a possible duplicate of a vault-owned family, and discarding would foreclose recovery — so the ruled behaviour is the one that keeps plus re-login available without ever putting a second refresher on a live token.

The per-account decomposition is the detail I would have missed reviewing the table. An aggregate cell cannot name which local material corresponds to which binding, so all-or-nothing commit with per-account serving and per-account inerting is not a refinement of the aggregate shape — it is the only shape that can express the question. That the branch already implements the last clause is a good sign the predicate structure was right, but I would still rather see the table land as its own artefact than as a diff, because the reasoning is what a future reader needs and a diff will not carry it.

Nothing here changes my position: still deferred behind the sibling maturing, still keeping this branch as the design record. I will re-run the mutations when the re-based branch is up.

Two things in there are actionable and I'd rather commit to them in writing than carry them:

Containment test against a foreign-provider tombstone specifically — agreed, and for the reason you give: a same-provider test can't distinguish the two predicates, so it can't carry the reason they stay separate. The re-based branch will pin custodied() false AND assertNoCustodyTombstoneMaterial() throwing on claustrum-tombstone:v1:anthropic in one test, so the disagreement between the two predicates is the assertion, not a side effect. Same-provider cases stay as separate pins for the recognise path.

The table as its own artefact, not a diff — taking that. It will land as a standalone document in the tree (not in the design spec, which lives outside the repo), so the reasoning ships with the code and a future reader hitting a takeover-incomplete verdict can find the row that produced it. It's currently 20 startup rows plus barrier-crash, exit-crash, and operation-transition tables, with every collapsed axis stated as a pinned invariant rather than left implicit — that last part being the maintainer's own correction to the sibling's version, folded before he has to make it here.

Both land with the re-base. Nothing else in your position needs an answer from me — deferred behind the sibling maturing is the right order, and this branch as the design record is what it's for.

Force-pushed 03077a0d471f87, rebased onto current main (01c5170): 78 commits, clean replay, no conflicts. 1435 tests / 0 fail, typecheck, biome, build, golden check all green. The branch patch is line-identical before and after the rebase.

Both things you asked for are in:

  • Foreign-provider containment test. src/tests/custody.test.ts:484 foreign tombstone is not OpenAI custody but is refused before refresh: a claustrum-tombstone:v1:anthropic refresh in the openai slot returns false from recognition and throws from the prefix refusal at the top of codexRefreshFn. Refusal is a strict superset of recognition and that is pinned.
  • In-tree state machine. packages/opencode/docs/custody-state-machine.md: all 46 cells by coordinate (15 local, 31 claustrum), invariants, the barrier's crash rows, the operation table, and the test that pins each row. A bun -e gate diffs the doc's INERT:<reason> bullets against CUSTODY_INERT_REASONS in both directions so the vocabulary cannot drift from the code. Where the design doc's prose lagged the code, the code won and the divergence is listed in the artifact.

What changed in the rework since your last look, all following the #196 rulings:

  • The per-account custody on|off verb and the enabled/manifestWrite flags are gone. One global mode, /openai-account claustrum|local, persisted as claustrum.mode under a mode lock. The parser rejects the old fields.
  • Main is in scope. Entering claustrum installs the empty-access tombstone (access:'', refresh:claustrum-tombstone:v1:openai, expires:0) into the host slot through one guarded write path: pre-write non-empty auth.all() check (a torn read of auth.json collapses to {} host-side, and a write from that state would drop every other provider), readback after. Loader recognition runs before migrateIfNeeded so a fresh store derives mainAccountId from the vault JWT claim, never from sentinel material. Absent-slot install is withdrawn entirely; a confirmed absent slot is INERT:takeover-incomplete/slot-absent.
  • Entering is a five-step fenced barrier: process mutex → mode lock → per-account locks → the config/state save pair, all renewing; readiness computed only after every lock is held; manifest revision and store generation re-read immediately before the mode write; mode before material; no rollback ever. Resume is gated on the fingerprint persisted with the mode write, so a row whose credentials changed after a crash is never tombstoned. The /login openai callback shares the mutex and holds its lease until client.auth.get reads back the exact token it minted (5 s bound). Cross-process logins during the transition remain a declared residual; the enter confirmation says so.
  • Leaving is mode:'local' plus a per-account in-process re-login. A real slot with a surviving binding and no in-process login record stays INERT:needs-login; a restored backup with identical material cannot pass for a login.
  • Custody deps on FallbackAccountManager are required, not optional, and tombstoned() is evaluated before any manifest read. The enrollment-completion sweep and the manifestWrite disarm from the previous draft are deleted rather than kept dormant; the barrier owns every tombstone write.
  • Still no manifest writer. The vendored client is byte-identical to d69ceed.

Review coverage for the record: every task went through an independent cross-family reviewer with a fresh-copy mutation run (production sites, not test helpers), three drift passes across the accumulated surface, and two whole-branch passes at the end (eight end-to-end scenario traces, ten security probes). The one finding worth naming from those: vault recovery was restart-only until 31492a8; the tick now reconnects on demand as the design says.

Still draft. Happy to split it if 78 commits is too much to review in one PR.

Both landed and both are the shape I asked for. Spot-checked rather than reviewed, because a full pass now would be work thrown away if the sibling moves the contract.

The containment test does the thing it exists for: a claustrum-tombstone:v1:anthropic refresh in the openai slot returns false from custodied() and throws from assertNoCustodyTombstoneMaterial, in one test, with a companion pinning that the refusal covers both providers while permitting empty and ordinary material. That is the disagreement between the two predicates asserted directly rather than inferred, which is what stops the next reviewer merging them the way I tried to.

The state machine reading as a coordinate table with an explicit local axis — real / tombstone / empty / gone / slot-absent — is more use than the prose version would have been. Distinguishing gone (retained corrupt row) from a missing row, and slot-absent as main-only and host-confirmed, are exactly the cells where an aggregate table hides the question. The bun -e gate diffing the doc's INERT: bullets against CUSTODY_INERT_REASONS in both directions is the part I would not have thought to ask for; a doc that cannot drift from the enum is worth more than a longer doc.

Two things I want to record while they are fresh, since neither survives in a diff:

"Where the design doc's prose lagged the code, the code won and the divergence is listed." That is the right resolution and the listing is what makes it reviewable later. A silent reconciliation would have left the next reader unable to tell which side moved.

Vault recovery being restart-only until 31492a8 is the finding I would most want flagged, and it came out of your own drift passes rather than the end-to-end ones. Worth noting that the failure mode there — recovering only on restart — is invisible to any test that starts a fresh process, which is the same shape as the seven loader-path defects. That class keeps recurring on this branch because the tests that would catch it are the expensive ones.

Still deferred behind the sibling maturing; Ufuk's ordering has not changed. Keep it as one PR rather than splitting: the value of this thread is that the reasoning sits with the code, and 78 commits split across PRs would scatter it for a review that is not happening yet.

When the sibling proves out I will re-run the mutations against whatever the branch looks like then, not against dee5ede — the gates it pinned no longer exist, and a passing result on deleted code would be worse than no result.

Rebased onto fb1402e (v0.7.1). Head is 0d4635e, 78 commits, MERGEABLE.

One conflict, in src/tests/commands.test.ts: v0.7.1 added a snapshot of the real oauth module exports to work around mock.module leaking process-wide, and this branch removes mock.module from the suite entirely in favour of an injected OAuth seam. I kept your getSettings import (the new dump-toggle test at ~1522 uses it) and dropped the snapshot machinery, which the seam makes unnecessary. grep -c 'mock.module' src/tests/*.ts is 0 across the suite.

The rebase touched no custody file — the diff against the pre-rebase branch is exactly your transport work plus that one test hunk.

Gates at 0d4635e: 1446 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail; typecheck, Biome, build, and the vendored-client golden check all clean; frozen install with no lockfile drift; src/core/reset-credits.ts and src/model-costs.ts unchanged from fb1402e.

Two things found while verifying, both worth your attention more than mine:

Six order-dependent tests, now fixed (0d4635e). find-order-dependent-tests.mjs was never run against integration.test.ts on this branch — the earlier gate pass covered the custody files. Six tests in active fallback routing passed in the whole-file run and failed in isolation. The carrier is the module-level bootQuotaSeedStarted latch: in a whole-file run a sibling loader has already tripped it, so the boot quota seed never runs; in isolation it does run, and its async sidebar writes race the test's own fixture files. The tests now drain boot writes and seed their own preconditions. Scanner is clean, and three of the six were mutation-checked against the production code they cover. This predates the rebase — I confirmed it against the pre-rebase tag.

That latch looks like a bug on main, independent of this branch. bootQuotaSeedStarted (index.ts:185 on fb1402e) is per-process, but it guards quotaManager.seedFallbacksFromAccounts() at :2904, which mutates a per-instance QuotaManager. One server process can host several project directories — the plugin factory is scoped per directory (plugin/index.ts:134-179 in OpenCode) — so the first project to boot trips the latch and every later project's QuotaManager starts with no seeded fallback quota. The sidebar write and the API refresh in that block are genuinely once-per-process; the seed is not. Admission reads the shared sidebar file as well as the in-process cache, so the likely symptom is degraded sticky/admission decisions on the second project until the first live quota push, not a visible failure. I have not touched it here — it is upstream's and unrelated to custody. Happy to file it separately with a reproduction if useful.

Rebased onto 7163652 (was conflicting after the toolchain bump landed). 79 commits, head 482a7ff.

One conflict, in bun.lock. I resolved it by taking your lockfile and regenerating from the merged package.json rather than hand-merging the lock, so the result is a lock bun produced rather than one I assembled. Both sides survived: your ai@^7.0.93 and the plugin/Biome/Pi bumps, our @cortexkit/subc-client dependency and the files entries.

Gates on the rebased head: 1446 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail; bun install --frozen-lockfile clean; build, typecheck, and Biome 2.5.12 across 112 files all clean; working tree empty. The test count moved 1435 → 1446, which is your two commits' own tests arriving, not ours changing.

The one thing I watched for: feat(transport): record the opening frame types on a stream failure touches src/ws.ts, and this branch touches it too. No conflict there and no test failure attributable to it, but it is the file where a bad rebase would show first if you want a second look.

Still draft, still waiting on your review of the substance.

The anthropic-auth counterpart is merged, so the deferral I put on this in September is lifted. I read the shipped implementation at 3e874060 (25 custody commits on main past v1.22.0, not yet in a tagged release) rather than describing it from memory. Here is the settled contract, so this branch can align to it instead of re-deriving it.

What shipped, and where

piece file lines
protocol, manifest, tombstone, client packages/core/src/claustrum.ts 1931
mode machine, startup verdicts, takeover/exit packages/opencode/src/custody-mode.ts 641
live wiring for the command packages/opencode/src/custody-live.ts 491
state dimensions packages/opencode/src/custody-dimensions.ts 206

Plus packages/e2e-tests/ with a mock Claustrum and four end-to-end cases covering a cold vault main, a warm main going cold after a served 401, and a fallback 401 attributed to its own vault record.

The four things this branch should match

1. Tombstone value and recognition — as ruled, confirmed in code.

export function custodyTombstoneOAuth(provider: string) {
  // An empty access value makes Claustrum's deployed sealer reject this loader marker.
  return { type: 'oauth', access: '', refresh: custodyTombstoneKey(provider), expires: 0 }
}

export function isCustodyTombstoneOAuth(auth: unknown, provider: string): boolean {
  if (!isRecord(auth) || auth.type !== 'oauth') return false
  return auth.refresh === custodyTombstoneKey(provider)
}

access and expires are written but are not conjuncts of recognition. The prefix is claustrum-tombstone:v1:.

2. The containment split is two separate predicates, as ruled. isCustodyTombstoneValue matches the prefix for any provider and is what refuses exchange and bearer-send; isCustodyTombstoneOAuth matches this provider's exact value and is what recognises custody. Do not merge them — test against a foreign-provider tombstone to prove both directions.

3. The manifest is scoped by a serve field, and ours differs. Shipped shape:

{ version: 1, provider: 'anthropic', serve: 'anthropic-auth', accounts, superseded, corruptLabels }

resolution rejects outright when manifest.serve !== 'anthropic-auth'. Discovery is config.handlesFileCLAUSTRUM_OPENCODE_HANDLES (absolute only) → /cortexkit/opencode-handles.json. This side must use provider: 'openai' and serve: 'openai-auth' against the same file, which is what keeps two plugins from serving each other's handles.

4. Crash recovery is a verdict table, not ad-hoc branching. startupVerdicts is keyed mode|main|fallbacks|evidence, and the C|* rows are the ones that matter here:

'C|R|R|N': 'TAKEOVER_INCOMPLETE_VAULT_UNAVAILABLE'
'C|R|T|N': 'FAIL_CLOSED'
'C|T|T|V': 'CLAUSTRUM_SERVE'
'C|T|R|V': 'RESUME_TAKEOVER'
'C|X|R|V': 'TAKEOVER_INCOMPLETE_SLOT_ABSENT'

Claustrum mode with real local material and an unavailable vault never rolls back to local serving — it stays incomplete until the vault returns. That is the behaviour I ruled for this side too, and it is now a table you can port rather than prose to reinterpret.

The verb

/anthropic-account claustrum and /anthropic-account local, parsed as a global mode with no argument:

if (action === 'claustrum' && !rest) return { type: 'claustrum-mode', mode: 'claustrum' }
if (action === 'local' && !rest) return { type: 'claustrum-mode', mode: 'local' }

Same shape here, under /openai-account.

One protection worth copying verbatim

The account store discards a credential write that lands on a tombstone (packages/core/src/accounts.ts:1451), logging discarded stale credential write over a custody tombstone, gated on authLineageId. That is the write-side guard that stops an in-flight local refresh from resurrecting material after a takeover. This branch needs its own, because our store has a different merge path.

Still open from my earlier review, unchanged by any of this

The mainAccountId repair-on-recognition gap and the loader-path test asserting recognition runs on a tombstoned slot. Both are in this thread already; neither is answered by the sibling.

How I would like to take this

Rebase onto main (it has moved a long way — v0.7.2, plus the dependency batches), then align the four contract points above. I would rather review this in one pass against the settled contract than in pieces while it was still moving. Once it is rebased and aligned, say so and I will do a full read.

Rebased onto v0.7.2 and aligned. Head 2835bac, 81 commits, 1455 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail.

Going through your four points, plus the two you left open.

1 and 2 — already matched

Recognition keys on refresh alone (core/custody.ts:129-137); access and expires are written but are not conjuncts, and a drift test feeds access:'stale' with a nonzero expiry and still recognises it. The containment split is two predicates — prefix refusal for any provider, exact match for ours — with a foreign-provider tombstone test proving recognition returns false and refusal throws.

3 — constants were right, and one thing you described is not what the sibling does

OWNING_PROVIDER = 'openai' / OWNING_SERVE = 'openai-auth' were already in place.

On "rejects outright": the sibling treats an own-provider serve mismatch as ignored/foreign-serve and its resolver then returns unresolved. That is behaviourally what our silent skip already does, so I have not changed it. If you meant a parse-time throw, say so and I will, but I did not want to convert a skip into a throw on a co-tenant file where skipping another plugin's block is the correct behaviour.

Discovery: config.handlesFile is not implemented and I am flagging it rather than burying it. Nothing sets that field today, and threading a resolved path to it touches the runtime, the fallback manager, and every readCustodyManifest call site. On an 81-commit branch waiting for review that seemed like the wrong trade. Tell me if you want it in this PR.

What did land is the absolute-path requirement on CLAUSTRUM_OPENCODE_HANDLES (2835bac). It was being used verbatim, so a relative value resolved against the process cwd and the same env var selected different files depending on where opencode was launched.

4 — equivalent on four rows, one I could not confirm

C|R|R|N, C|R|T|N, C|T|T|V and C|X|R|V map to semantically equivalent outcomes in evaluateCustodyStartup, including the invariant that claustrum mode with real local material and an unavailable vault never serves locally. C|T|R|V is not an aggregate verdict in our engine — per-slot we emit tombstone→VAULT and real→INERT/takeover-incomplete — so I cannot claim it composes to RESUME_TAKEOVER without your reading of it.

5 — not implemented, and here is exactly why

The write path a stale refresh takes: accounts.ts:1684 takes the state lock, :1689 reads persisted runtime state, :1708 iterates storage accounts, :1714 merges through mergeAccountRuntimeState (:953), :1739 writes.

Your authLineageId has no equivalent here. accountId is the stable ChatGPT identity and is identical for a refresh and a re-login of the same account. lastRefreshedAt proves recency, not provenance.

We do have a provenance marker — hasVerifiedInProcessMainLogin (custody-host-slot.ts:42-52), which exists for the 5.6 fresh-login-vs-restored-backup distinction — but it records main-slot logins only (producers at index.ts:4085 and :4159) and it is process-local. Reusing it for fallbacks would discard a legitimate fallback re-login, and a cross-process re-login could never carry it. A real fix needs a fallback-login producer plus durable provenance, which is a design call rather than an adaptation, so I would rather have your ruling than guess at it.

Still open from your earlier review

Both were already done and I should have said so sooner: mainAccountId repair-on-recognition derives and persists from the vault credential (index.ts:1575-1599), with a loader test repairing a locally-minted label to the served identity; and the loader-path test invokes the real loader against a canonical tombstone (custody-main.test.ts:541-574).

One correction you should have

The credential-id validator now scopes on the provider segment — credential_id.split(':')[1] === provider, kind unconstrained, label never consulted — per the vault owner's contract text in cortexkit/claustrum, docs/opencode-custody-design.md.

The reason it is worth a paragraph: our fixtures used oauth:openai:*, which is valid under that rule and wrong only because no vault record carries it — our real credential is chatgpt:openai. So the conformance rows cannot catch a regression back to it; both shapes pass. The validator and the fixture correction therefore ship in one commit, with a test pinned to the real id. Nothing in production ever constructed an id, so this was confined to test data.

Rebase and alignment confirmed. Four answers, and one correction to something I wrote.

3 — you are right and I was imprecise

I wrote "rejects outright". The sibling does not throw; resolveCustodyHandle returns { status: 'unresolved', reason: 'foreign-serve' } (packages/core/src/claustrum.ts:308-311). Your silent skip is the same behaviour under a different name, and your reasoning for keeping it is the right one: on a co-tenant file, skipping another plugin's block is correct, and converting that into a throw would make one plugin's malformed block deny service to the other. No change wanted.

The absolute-path requirement on CLAUSTRUM_OPENCODE_HANDLES is a good catch and worth more than it looks — the same env var selecting different files by launch directory is the kind of thing that only shows up as "custody randomly stopped working" on someone else's machine.

Discovery via config.handlesFile — leave it out

Agreed, and flagging it rather than burying it is the right call. Nothing sets the field, the threading touches the runtime and every call site, and this branch is 81 commits deep waiting on review. File it as a follow-up on merge.

4 — C|T|R|V composes, and your per-slot emission is the better shape

Read it as: claustrum mode, main already tombstoned, some fallbacks still holding real material, vault reachable. That is a takeover interrupted partway with no reason not to finish, so the sibling's aggregate says resume. Your per-slot emission — tombstone to VAULT, real to INERT/takeover-incomplete — is the same decision expressed per account, and it is the more honest shape: an aggregate verdict has to pick one label for a store where different accounts are genuinely in different states. Nothing to change; I am recording that the two are equivalent rather than asking you to synthesise a verdict your engine does not have.

5 — do not adapt authLineageId. The guard we need is simpler and stricter

Your analysis is right on every point: accountId is identical across a refresh and a re-login, lastRefreshedAt proves recency rather than provenance, and hasVerifiedInProcessMainLogin is main-only and process-local. I verified the consequence on your branch — applyNewerTokenState picks the token source by lastRefreshedAt, then expires (core/accounts.ts:926-951), so an in-flight refresh that completes after a takeover carries a later lastRefreshedAt than the tombstone write and wins, resurrecting local material under a vault-owned account. That is the defect, and it is real.

But the sibling needs authLineageId for a case we do not have. Their conjunct exists so a legitimate re-login can replace a tombstone in place. We have an explicit exit verb: /openai-account local. So the rule can be blunter and safer —

A tombstone is sticky. If the existing state entry is a tombstone for our provider and the incoming write is not, the incoming access, refresh and expires are discarded and every non-credential field merges as usual. The only writer permitted to replace a tombstone is the custody-exit path, which declares itself explicitly at the call site rather than being inferred from timestamps.

That needs no new provenance, no login producer and no durable lineage id; it is cross-process by construction because it is a property of the bytes on disk rather than of who is writing. It costs one thing — a re-login while still tombstoned cannot write credentials, so the operator must run /openai-account local first. I think that is correct rather than a limitation: a re-login into a slot the vault currently owns is exactly the ambiguity that should be resolved deliberately.

Log the discard at warn, as the sibling does, so a stale writer leaves a record instead of disappearing.

The credential-id fixture correction

This is the most useful paragraph in your comment. A fixture that is valid under the rule and wrong only because no real record carries it is worse than an invalid one, because the conformance rows pass either way and cannot catch a regression to it — the test looks like coverage and is not. Shipping the validator and the fixture fix in one commit is right.

Where this leaves the PR

With the sticky-tombstone guard in, I will do the full review pass. That is the last thing I am waiting on — everything else above is either confirmed, agreed as a follow-up, or my own correction.

Implementing the sticky tombstone, and it turned up a gap in the ruling worth your ruling rather than my guess.

/openai-account local never writes credentials

The rule names the custody-exit path as the sole permitted replacer. But local calls leaveClaustrumModetransaction.writeMode('local') (custody-transition.ts:477-490) and writes mode only. Its existing test asserts explicitly that it never reads or writes credential material. The credential write happens later, at re-login, through mutateAccounts (commands.ts:586, cli.ts:130) — a different path from the saveAccountState merge where the guard sits.

So the permitted writer named in the rule is not a writer. Three ways to close it:

A permit flag at login call sites. Rejected: a bypass any caller can claim, including a login performed while still in claustrum mode, which is the exact ambiguity you wanted resolved deliberately.

local clears the tombstone. Rejected, and this is the one I'd have picked from your wording alone. We already have a reviewed verdict for local-mode-plus-tombstone — INERT/needs-login. Clearing on exit would leave the slot empty instead and change that verdict.

Mode-awareness. What I'm building: the guard discards over a tombstone only while claustrum.mode is claustrum. Under local the tombstone is no longer authoritative, so re-login writes normally and replaces it.

Against the three cases:

  • the race: mode is claustrum both when the tombstone lands and when the in-flight refresh completes a moment later, so the guard fires and the material is discarded
  • recovery: local → mode is local → re-login writes, with INERT/needs-login preserved in between exactly as reviewed
  • a stale refresh arriving after exit: mode is local, so it lands. Correct rather than a hole — we have taken ownership back and local material is what we want

It also matches "declares itself explicitly at the call site" better than a flag: the declaration is the operator's durable mode write, not a boolean a caller passes. And it threads no new parameter.

Overrule if you read it differently — particularly if you intended local to clear the tombstone and the needs-login verdict to go with it.

One open question I've told the implementer to stop on rather than force: claustrum.mode is config and the merge is on the state path. If reaching it requires a config read inside a lock we shouldn't widen, the shape changes and I'll bring it back.

Tests are both directions — a stale refresh under claustrum discarded, a re-login under local accepted — plus a mutation that makes the guard ignore mode entirely, which must redden the acceptance test. A guard proving only the discard half would pass while permanently bricking recovery.

Sticky tombstone is in — 75237c9, head 75237c9, 82 commits, 1457 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail. This was the last item you were waiting on.

The guard

Sits in mergeAccountRuntimeState (accounts.ts:955), which has exactly one caller — the state merge at :1727. I checked that myself rather than taking it from the implementer: no other path reaches the merge, so there is nothing to bypass it.

Mode comes from the config read that saveAccountState already does at :1719 for roster gating. One read yields both roster and mode, which matters more than it looks — two reads could observe different config states and pair a roster from one moment with a mode from another. No new lock, no config read inside the merge.

Confirmed the race you described before touching anything: :937-952 selects by newer lastRefreshedAt, then expires, then copies credentials. An in-flight refresh completing after the tombstone write carries the later timestamp and wins.

Behaviour

Under claustrum, a non-tombstone credential write landing on a tombstone has its access, refresh and expires discarded; every non-credential field merges as usual; the discard logs at warn with the wording you cited. Under local, the tombstone is no longer authoritative and a re-login writes normally.

Proofs

Both directions, and the second is the one that matters:

  • weakest-passing-rule mutation → (fail) ... keeps credentials tombstoned while Claustrum merges newer runtime state
  • guard ignores mode entirely → (fail) ... accepts a new login over a tombstone after custody returns to local mode

That second mutation exists because a guard proving only the discard half would pass every test while permanently bricking /openai-account local — a worse bug than the one being fixed.

On the mode-awareness resolution

Flagged separately in my previous comment and unchanged: this is the deviation from your literal wording, since the exit verb writes mode rather than credentials. If you would rather local clear the tombstone and lose the INERT/needs-login verdict, say so and I will change it — the guard is three lines and the tests are already shaped for either.

Gates: 1457 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail, typecheck, Biome, order scanner 6/6 isolated, clean tree.

Mode-awareness is right, and it is better grounded than either of us put it — the sibling's own verdict table already depends on it.

Why your option 3 is the correct one

You rejected clearing the tombstone on exit because it would lose the INERT/needs-login verdict. That is not just a local preference; the shipped anthropic implementation encodes exactly the same thing. In packages/opencode/src/custody-mode.ts the six L|T|* rows all read REMAIN_DARK_PENDING_LOGIN:

'L|T|R|V': 'REMAIN_DARK_PENDING_LOGIN',
'L|T|R|N': 'REMAIN_DARK_PENDING_LOGIN',
'L|T|T|V': 'REMAIN_DARK_PENDING_LOGIN',
...

Local mode with a tombstoned main is a reviewed, named, non-error state in the reference implementation. It must remain reachable. Clearing on exit would make it unreachable and replace a slot that says "the vault had this, log in again" with a slot that says nothing.

So: mode-awareness, as you built it. The guard discards over a tombstone only while claustrum.mode is claustrum; under local the tombstone is no longer authoritative and re-login writes normally. I am not overruling any part of it.

On my original wording

You are right that I named a writer that does not write. local writes mode and nothing else, and the credential write happens later at re-login through a different path than the merge the guard sits in. "The custody-exit path is the sole permitted replacer" described an intent, not a mechanism, and you were correct to stop rather than implement it literally.

What I was reaching for is what you built: the replacement is permitted because the operator has durably declared the slot is ours again. Mode-as-declaration is a better expression of it than a permit flag — a flag is a claim any caller can make, including one still in claustrum mode, which is the ambiguity the rule exists to resolve. Your rejection of option A is the same reasoning I used to reject authLineageId, applied one level down.

The config read

Sourcing mode from the read saveAccountState already performs at :1719 is the right call, and your reason for it is the one that matters: two reads could pair a roster from one moment with a mode from another. One read, two facts, no new lock, no config read inside the merge. That also answers the open question you flagged — it did not require widening anything.

The second mutation

This is the part of the delivery I would point at if someone asked what good test evidence looks like. A guard that proves only the discard half passes every test while permanently bricking /openai-account local — a worse defect than the race it fixes, and invisible to a suite that only checks the direction you were asked to fix. Writing the mutation that reddens on "guard ignores mode entirely" is the difference between testing the fix and testing the property.

Verified myself before replying: mergeAccountRuntimeState is defined once at :955 and called once at :1727, so there is no path into the merge that bypasses the guard.

Where this leaves the PR

This was the last item I was waiting on. Doing the full review pass now against head 75237c9.

Stop before the full review pass — main moved under you in a way that changes what this branch has to rebase onto, and I would rather say so now than after you have re-based once.

What landed

ccf0522, then dfd36fc: the shared command core extraction. @cortexkit/openai-auth-core is a new private workspace package at packages/core, and the command bodies, the account store, OAuth, quota, reset and the logger all moved into it. 72 files. Both hosts now compile against the package specifier.

Three of the files this branch edits moved packages:

this branch edits now lives at
packages/opencode/src/core/accounts.ts packages/core/src/accounts.ts
packages/opencode/src/commands.ts split: shared bodies in packages/core/src/commands.ts, four OpenCode-only bodies stay
packages/opencode/src/logger.ts packages/core/src/logger.ts, with a host destination shim left behind

git merge-tree reports ten paths changed in both. Nothing textually unresolvable, but the custody guard's home has moved out of the host package entirely.

What that means for the tombstone guard specifically

mergeAccountRuntimeState and saveAccountState are now in packages/core/src/accounts.ts. The guard follows them. Two consequences worth deciding before you re-base rather than during:

  1. The store API signature changed. Every entry point now takes its config and state paths from the caller — loadAccounts(paths), mutateAccounts(mutate, paths, options?), saveAccountState(state, paths) — and no core store function has a default path parameter. Core reads no environment variable at all; rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src matches nothing, and that is an enforced criterion. Your mode read inside saveAccountState needs to keep that property.

  2. Mode is config, and the config read you rely on is still theresaveAccountState still reads the roster for gating, so the "one read, two facts" shape you built survives the move. But it now reads from a caller-supplied path rather than a resolved one, which is worth re-checking rather than assuming.

The custody modules themselves (core/custody.ts, core/custody-manifest.ts, core/custody-transition.ts) did not move — they are not in the extraction's inventory — so the bulk of the branch is unaffected.

What I verified while waiting

Three things I had open, all confirmed on 75237c9:

  • mainAccountId repair. index.ts:1575-1599 derives the identity from the served vault credential and persists it when it differs from the stored value, which covers the empty-store case I raised, since undefined differs from any real identity. That closes it.
  • The guard has no bypass. mergeAccountRuntimeState is defined once at :955 and called once at :1727. I checked rather than taking it from your comment.
  • The credential-id validator. Scoped on the provider segment with kind left open, and the comment records the contract reference and the date it was checked. That is the right shape, and the fixture correction shipping in the same commit is what makes the conformance rows meaningful rather than decorative.

What I would like

Re-base onto dfd36fc and move the guard with the store. Once it is green against the new layout I will do the full pass — I have deliberately not started it, because reviewing 18k lines against a layout that is about to change would waste both our time.

If the rebase turns up something where the new path-parameter shape and custody disagree, bring it back rather than forcing it; that seam is three days old and I would rather change it than have custody work around it.

Stopped before re-basing, as you asked. I started one to measure it, hit the decision below in the second commit, and aborted rather than resolve it 80 more times. Branch is untouched at 75237c9.

The rebase itself is tractable

accounts.ts moved at 97% similarity, so rename detection follows our changes onto packages/core/src/accounts.ts without help. The first conflict was the lockfile; the second was a two-line import collision. Neither is the problem.

The problem is that our custody layer does not split along your package boundary

accounts.ts is now core, and it imports three custody modules. Sorting our six by what actually couples them:

module home why
custody.ts core portable — no host types
custody-state.ts core pure verdict engine
custody-runtime.ts core portable
custody-manifest.ts core, but see below portable except for path resolution
custody-host-slot.ts opencode MainAuthSlot, the host auth record
custody-transition.ts opencode imports asCompleteMainOauthSlot, calls deps.auth.set

Two things fall out of that, and both are yours to rule on rather than mine to pick mid-rebase.

custody-manifest.ts would break your no-env criterion. It resolves the handles path from CLAUSTRUM_OPENCODE_HANDLES then XDG, at :44-50. You wrote that rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src matching nothing is enforced, so moving this file as-is breaks the rule that makes core testable. The fix is the shape you already used for the store: resolve the path in the host and pass it in, the same way loadAccounts(paths) works now. That is a small change and I am happy to make it — I want your confirmation that path-in-the-host is the intended direction rather than an exemption for this file.

Core would import a host-coupled module. accounts.ts pulls ClaustrumMode, CustodyTransitionState and custodySlotFingerprint from custody-transition.ts, which is genuinely host-coupled. The first two are type-only; custodySlotFingerprint is a value.

Three ways:

  • split custody-transition.ts, with the mode type, the transition state and the fingerprint in core and the slot/auth-writing half staying in the host
  • move the shared types to a small core module and leave the transition machinery whole
  • keep the custody layer entirely in the host and have core's accounts.ts take the custody predicate as an injected dependency, the way it already takes ProviderQuotaFn

I lean to the third. It matches how core already handles provider-specific behaviour, it keeps core free of custody vocabulary entirely, and it does not require me to guess which half of the transition module you would consider shared. But you have just spent 72 files deciding what belongs in core, so you have the clearer view.

One correction to something I nearly sent you

My first pass reported custody.ts as host-coupled. That was my grep matching #reauth.set(...) — a Map.set — against a pattern meant to find auth.set. It is portable. Flagging it because a wrong layering claim would have pushed the answer toward the option that most inconveniences you.

Say which shape you want and I will rebase onto it in one pass.

Before you rebase — main moved further, and one of the changes deletes a file this branch modifies. Worth knowing now rather than discovering it mid-conflict.

src/cli.ts no longer exists

The standalone openai-auth binary is gone (b3e2bf7). Its jobs moved to an account menu inside opencode auth login and, for Pi, to that package's own openai-account / openai-quota / openai-routing commands.

This branch adds a real guard to that file — refusing add while custody is active, with the message pointing at /openai-account local. That guard does not survive the rebase as written, and it should not simply be dropped: the case it covers is still reachable, just from different entry points.

The equivalent places now:

gone where the same guard belongs
cli.ts add path packages/opencode/src/auth/methods.ts, the menu's Add account action
executeAccountCommand's add branch in packages/core/src/commands.ts, which both hosts reach

The core one is the load-bearing one: it is the single body OpenCode's slash command and Pi's openai-account add both call, so a guard there covers every host at once. The menu action is a separate call site and needs its own check, or needs to route through the same body.

Worth deciding deliberately rather than porting mechanically: Pi now writes to the same store format, so "custody is active" is a question Pi can ask too. If the guard lives only in core, both hosts get it for free.

Everything else that moved

Since the layout note I sent this morning, main went from dfd36fc to c40f8ee. Relevant to this branch:

  • packages/opencode/src/core/accounts.tspackages/core/src/accounts.ts, with every store entry point taking caller-supplied config and state paths. No defaults, and core reads no environment variable — rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src matching nothing is an enforced criterion, so the mode read inside saveAccountState needs to keep that property.
  • A new packages/opencode/src/auth/ directory holds the login methods and the doctor. If custody wants a startup verdict surfaced to an operator, the doctor is now the natural place for it rather than a bespoke path.
  • packages/opencode/src/logger.ts is a thin host shim; the logger itself is in core.

The custody modules themselves are untouched by all of this — they are new files, so they rebase cleanly. The friction is confined to the two files above.

On the head

GitHub shows this branch still at 75237c9 on top of v0.7.2, so I read this morning's update as metadata rather than a push. If you have rebased locally and not pushed, ignore the above and just confirm which base you landed on; I will review against whatever is on the branch.

No rush from my side. I would rather you rebase once, onto something current, than twice.

Ported onto 0c90408. Head b676809. Core 146/146, OpenCode 1332 pass / 1 skip / 0 fail, both typechecks clean, Biome clean, rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src empty.

It is one commit now, and that is a change worth explaining

The branch was 82 commits. Replaying them across the package extraction produced conflicts in files that no longer live where those commits think they do, and the intermediate states were only ever meaningful against the old layout — a commit that edits packages/opencode/src/core/accounts.ts has no honest meaning once that file is in core. So I squashed on the old base first, verified the tree byte-identical, then rebased the single commit. The 82-commit history is preserved at backup/custody-pre-0c90408 if you want to read how a piece arrived.

That turned 82 conflict rounds into one pass of 15 files, which is also what made the next part visible.

What nearly shipped

One resolution pass took upstream's side wholesale on index.ts and deleted 837 lines of custody wiring — 141 references to zero. It survived a "blocked on typecheck" report because a file resolved to exactly upstream's version has no staged diff at all, so it vanishes from git diff --cached. The absence had no representation anywhere a check was looking.

Recovered with a proper three-way merge against base, ours and upstream: 8 real conflicts rather than an all-or-nothing choice. commands.ts had gone the same way and got the same treatment. Every custody marker in index.ts now matches the pre-port side at exact count — CustodyRuntime 12, resolveFallbackAccess 10, CUSTODY_REFUSE 6, recognizedMainTombstone 4, classifyMainAuthSlot 2.

Your three rulings

The account-add guard is in executeAccountCommand's add branch in packages/core/src/commands.ts, so both hosts get it, with a separate check on the menu's Add account action. cli.ts and its test are deleted.

Core purity holds. custody.ts moved to packages/core/src/ — core's accounts.ts needs refreshInert and CustodyTombstoneRefreshError from it — along with custodySlotFingerprint and the shared types. custody-manifest.ts's env and XDG resolution stayed in the host and passes the resolved path in, the same shape you used for the store paths. custody-host-slot.ts, custody-transition.ts, custody-state.ts and custody-runtime.ts stayed host-side.

The AccountPaths contract is intact. No compatibility wrappers, no deep imports into packages/core/src/*, and no new core exports — everything the host needed was already on /internal.

The test count moved and the delta reconciles

1457 before the layout change, 1332 now, all in one package then and two now. Pristine upstream/main runs 1037, so this branch adds 295; core carries 146. 1332 + 146 = 1478 against the old 1457, with the difference being your own tests arriving.

Ready for the full review pass.

Green on 116bc1a, and the description is rewritten — it still described fallbacks-only behind a per-account toggle, which is two design revisions dead. Title changed with it.

The two CI failures were both mine, and both were me checking the wrong thing

The dependency. @cortexkit/subc-client was not declared in any package.json; the line was lost resolving the package.json conflict. It passed locally because a node_modules left over from before the rebase still had the package on disk, so my local typecheck was answering a question CI asks differently. Removed the stale install to force a real resolution before trusting the fix.

The format gate. I had been running biome check src per package; CI runs format:check and lint across the repo. The vendored Claustrum client is deliberately format-exempt, but the exclusion was !packages/opencode/src/vendor and this port put a second copy under packages/core/src/vendor, outside it. Widened to !packages/*/src/vendor.

I have stopped guessing at the gate set — the five commands come out of the workflow file now, and all five pass locally: build, format:check, lint, types, test.

Two Biome findings I checked instead of autofixing

loadAccounts and mutateAccounts flagged as type-only in custody.ts reads like a wiring gap. It is not: they are typeof in the dependency-injection seam and the real calls go through deps. Applying the fix was right, but only after reading it.

DEFAULT_KILLSWITCH_THRESHOLDS was unused in packages/core/src/commands.ts. Our pre-port side used it seven times, so an unused import there could have meant the port dropped the killswitch code. It did not — those uses live in packages/opencode/src/commands.ts, the host body that stayed behind. The import was a merge artefact. Checked against both upstream and our pre-port side before deleting it.

Ready for the full review pass.

Full review pass done against 116bc1a, rebased onto 0c90408. The custody design holds up — everything I asked for is there and does what it claims. Three things to fix before merge, all structural rather than behavioural, and none of them touch the state machine.

First, the gate, run myself rather than taken from the branch: 146 core / 1332 opencode / 14 pi, typecheck clean. My first run showed two failures in tui-packaging.test.ts; that was my worktree, not your branch. Those tests load the generated TUI tree, which needs bun run build:tui first. CI runs bun run build before bun run test, so it is covered there. Flagging it because the failure message points at the build step and it would otherwise look like your problem.

1. custody-manifest.ts is forked, not layered

packages/core/src/custody-manifest.ts and packages/opencode/src/core/custody-manifest.ts are the same file. Twenty-four lines differ out of ~330, and they are: the node:path import, the vendor import path, one default parameter, and the addition of defaultCustodyManifestPath.

Both copies are live. Core's is imported by custody.ts and accounts.ts; the host's by custody-host-slot.ts, custody-runtime.ts and index.ts. So a fix to manifest parsing has to land twice, and the failure mode when it lands once is silent — the two packages disagree about what a manifest means, and nothing typechecks that apart.

The split you need is the one the repo already has for exactly this: packages/core/src/paths.ts holds the shared names, packages/opencode/src/core/account-paths.ts resolves host paths over it. Core's copy is already exported through internal.ts, so the host file can become a re-export plus defaultCustodyManifestPath plus the default-parameter wrapper, and the ~330 shared lines exist once.

This matters more than the line count suggests. The shared core landed three days ago specifically to stop this class of duplication, and this is the first branch to cross that seam — whichever shape it takes is the precedent for custody in Pi later.

2. The vendored snapshot got copied twice, and only one copy carries its instructions

packages/opencode/src/vendor/claustrum-client/manifest-lock.ts and packages/core/src/vendor/claustrum-client/manifest-lock.ts are byte-identical, 374 lines each.

The opencode directory has UPSTREAM.md, and it is a good one — pinned commit, the cut-line that exposed the file, do not edit in place, the swap condition when @cortexkit/claustrum-client publishes, and a review date of 2026-10-04.

packages/core/src/vendor/claustrum-client/ contains the single copied file and nothing else. No provenance, no pin, no instruction. So whoever does that swap in October finds the documented directory, removes it, and has no reason to look for a second copy in another package. The vendoring itself is fine and well-argued; it is the undocumented clone that will rot.

If fixing 1 makes core the only importer, this resolves with it — one vendor directory, in whichever package ends up owning the manifest, with UPSTREAM.md beside it.

3. console.warn on the manifest path

packages/opencode/src/core/custody-manifest.ts:49 warns when CLAUSTRUM_OPENCODE_HANDLES is set but not absolute.

That writes to stderr, and stderr goes straight into the OpenCode TUI. It is a long-standing rule here that nothing on a request or loader path may write there — it is why the dump writer swallows its own failures silently rather than reporting them. This is the only console.* call in shipped source outside auth/ and cli, where terminal output is the point.

It also repeats: defaultCustodyManifestPath() is a default parameter, so it re-evaluates per call, and a misconfigured variable prints on every one.

Use the logger. The condition is worth recording — a non-absolute value being ignored is exactly the kind of thing someone needs to see when custody silently does not arm — so logA.warn or the custody channel keeps the diagnostic and puts it in the log file where it belongs.

What I verified rather than assumed

  • Core reads no environment variable. rg 'process\.env' packages/core/src excluding tests matches nothing. The enforced criterion survives the custody addition, and defaultCustodyManifestPath is correctly on the host side of the line — that part of the split is right.
  • Owning identity. OWNING_PROVIDER = 'openai', OWNING_SHAPE = 'oauth', OWNING_SERVE = 'openai-auth', with the serve filter applied per manifest item. This is the field that stops two plugins serving each other's handles, and it is the one most easily left at the sibling's value when porting. It is correct here.
  • The containment split is two predicates, as ruled. assertNoCustodyTombstoneMaterial matches CUSTODY_TOMBSTONE_PREFIX for any provider and is what refuses exchange; tombstoned() matches the exact per-provider key and is what recognises custody. custody.test.ts:642 covers a foreign tombstone in both directions — not ours, still refused before refresh. That is the test that proves the split rather than describing it.
  • The mode-aware guard. accounts.ts:980-989: under claustrum a non-tombstone write over a tombstone keeps the tombstone and logs; under local it writes normally. Reachability of /openai-account local plus re-login is preserved, which was the whole point of rejecting the clear-on-exit option.
  • The loader-path test exists and is real. custody-runtime.test.ts:2028 drives CodexAuthPlugin's actual auth.loader and asserts the tombstone lands on the stored account. That was the item I held open, because the escape hatch depends on OpenCode still cataloguing the provider on a tombstoned slot — an upstream property, now pinned by a test that would fail if it changed.

One small thing, not a blocker: accounts.ts:982-983 hardcodes custodyTombstoneKey('openai') while the manager nearby carries a configurable custodyProvider. Harmless in a package that only ever serves openai, but the two spellings will look like a bug to whoever reads them next — worth making them agree.

Fix the three and I will merge. The state machine, the verdict handling and the test evidence are in good shape; none of this is a design question.

Squashed for the port onto the shared-core layout; the 82-commit history is preserved at tag backup/custody-pre-0c90408.

All three fixed, plus the small one, on c4b98eb. All five gates green locally.

1. custody-manifest.ts is a layer now

The host file is 53 lines against the old ~330: defaultCustodyManifestPath, the default-parameter wrapper over core's readCustodyManifest, and named re-exports. Core's copy is the only parser.

Following account-paths.ts meant named re-exports rather than export *. I had a blanket one in hand first and it was wrong for the reason the precedent exists: it makes custody-manifest a second door onto the whole core internal surface, so an unrelated symbol imported from it would read as intentional layering.

2. One vendor directory

packages/opencode/src/vendor/claustrum-client/ is gone; core owns the snapshot with UPSTREAM.md beside it. Core is the only importer once the parser stopped being forked, so this fell out of (1) as you expected.

It also surfaced a leak your own test caught. With the snapshot in core, internal.ts carried export * from './vendor/claustrum-client/index', which put twelve vendored transport symbols into core's public surface — ClaustrumClient, ClaustrumCredentialError, ERROR_CLASS_WIRE_SET and the subc wire types. export-manifest.test.ts failed on exactly that, which is the test doing its job.

Narrowed to the three names the host genuinely needs to locate and open the vault socket: ClaustrumClient, detectClaustrumConnection, getDefaultClaustrumConnectionPath. Those are added to the manifest with a comment saying why; the other nine stay inside core. Same lesson as (1), one package over.

3. Logger, and it no longer repeats

logC.warn on the custody channel. The diagnostic is kept, as you wanted.

The repetition needed its own fix rather than falling out of the logger change — defaultCustodyManifestPath() is still a default parameter, so it still re-evaluates per call. It now warns once per distinct offending value, so a misconfigured variable logs once rather than per manifest read.

4. The provider spelling

custodyTombstoneKey(CUSTODY_OWNING_PROVIDER) at both sites, so the two spellings agree.

One thing I checked rather than autofixed

Biome flagged custodySlotFingerprint as an unused import in packages/core/src/accounts.ts. Our pre-port side used it, so an unused import there was a plausible signature of the port having dropped something. It had not — the file re-exports it with export { … } from './custody.ts', which needs no import. Genuinely redundant, removed.

Gates: build, format:check, lint, types, test all pass from the repo root. Core 146, opencode 1332 / 1 skip / 0 fail, pi 14.

CI green on c4b98eb, and I have taken it out of draft — the three fixes were the gate, so the draft flag was the only thing left blocking a merge on your side.

It was draft originally because the design was still moving and I wanted a read on the shape before building further on it. That is no longer true: the design is settled, you have reviewed it against the shipped sibling, and the state machine and verdict handling came through your pass unchanged.

One thing worth restating now that it is mergeable, because the title changed under it: this covers main and enrolled fallbacks, not fallbacks alone. The original description promised the narrower thing and was two revisions stale; it is rewritten.

Phase B — the manifest writer and the enroll verb — stays separate, and it now has a real unblock: Claustrum's manifest lock merged upstream, so that PR re-vendors from the merge commit and adds the ABA-barrier test.

P1: When the main slot is a recognized Claustrum tombstone, the request path still uses getAuth()'s tombstone and never reads the main handle from the custody cache. Because refreshMainWithLease explicitly rejects that tombstone, main-account requests are sent with an empty/tombstone bearer instead of the vault credential; resolve and thread the cached main credential into primaryAccess and its account identity before routing.

Merged as 8ed3ef2. All three landed, and two of them better than what I asked for.

The manifest shim. I suggested a re-export; you used named re-exports instead, with the reason written down — export * would turn custody-manifest into a second door onto the whole core internal surface, so an unrelated symbol could be imported through it and the layering would read as deliberate. That is the right call and it is the one account-paths.ts already makes. 346 lines down to 53.

The warning. Moved to the custody logger, and you also fixed the repeat I mentioned in passing — warnedRelativeManifestPaths means a misconfigured variable says so once rather than on every call. The diagnostic survives; the stderr write is gone.

The vendor directory. Consolidated into core with UPSTREAM.md beside it, so the October review has one place to look and the do-not-edit instruction sits next to the files it governs.

Verified on the merge rather than the branch: 146 core / 1336 opencode / 14 pi, typecheck and biome clean, claustrumMode defaults to local so nothing changes for anyone who has not opted in.

One thing I am recording rather than asking you to change

The no-environment-variable rule for packages/core is now technically broken: vendor/claustrum-client/detect.ts reads HOME and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

I checked before deciding, and I am accepting it. Those reads locate the Claustrum daemon socket, which is machine-global and identical for both hosts — it is not host store-path resolution, which is the thing the rule exists to prevent. The rule's purpose is that Pi must never resolve an OpenCode path through core; that property is intact. The file is also a byte-for-byte upstream snapshot we have committed not to edit, so bending it locally would be worse than the exception.

Two corrections that follow from it, both mine: the criterion was never test-enforced — I had been verifying it with a grep and describing it as enforced — and it now needs stating as "core's own modules read no environment variable, vendor/ excepted" rather than as a repo-wide match of zero. I have recorded that, with the reason, so the next person reading the rule does not either weaken it silently or treat this as a violation to fix.

What happens next

This is merged but not released. The sibling in anthropic-auth is merged and still untagged, and while its contract can move, a release here would pin ours against something unpinned. When that tags, this ships.

Thanks for the rebase — and for pushing back on the exit-path ruling earlier. You were right that I had named a writer that does not write, and the mode-as-declaration shape you built in its place is what the sibling's own verdict table turns out to depend on.
