Problem

A managed Codex provider on Windows can sign in successfully, then later show “Could not check Codex right now.”

SQLite creates WAL/SHM files next to symlinked databases in the provider’s shadow home. On the next check, T3 tries to replace those files with symlinks and fails before Codex starts. The account’s saved credentials remain intact.

Change

Use CODEX_SQLITE_HOME to point Codex at the shared database directory, and stop creating shadow-home symlinks for SQLite databases and their sidecars.

This applies to provider checks and app-server sessions. Explicit directory overrides still work, and existing database files are left untouched.

Scope and approval

This addresses one specific bug in Codex shadow-home setup. #23853 reports the same visible symptom, although its logs show a different failure. No maintainer approval is being claimed.

Verification

Reproduced the filesystem conflict on Windows and added a regression test that fails before the fix and passes afterward.
Ran focused provider, authentication, adapter, and desktop-callback tests: 267 passed, with 14 gated tests skipped.
Tested with Codex 0.164.0 using synthetic credentials. Databases stayed in the shared directory, and an active turn completed after token renewal without restarting app-server.
Affected typechecks, changed-file formatting and lint, scoped Knip, and diff checks passed.

Manually tested in the Windows desktop app and confirmed the managed Codex provider works with the fix.

Implemented with GPT-6.1-sol using the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Walkthrough

Codex process environments now derive SQLite state paths from the resolved home layout. The changes also add test coverage for SQLite shadow-home behavior, token renewal failures and retries, native managed-auth renewal, and provider timeouts.

Changes: Codex managed runtime

Layer / File(s)	Summary
SQLite home layout and process environment `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexHomeLayout.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexHomeLayout.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexDriver.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/CodexManagedRuntime.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/CodexManagedRuntime.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexDriver.test.ts`	The home layout excludes SQLite files and sidecars from shadow-home symlinking. The driver, runtime, and adapter apply `codexHomeEnvironment` to process environments. Tests check SQLite paths, WAL visibility, and shadow-home files.
Token renewal coverage `apps/server/src/provider/CodexChatGptAuth.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/CodexManagedRuntime.test.ts`, `packages/shared/src/testing/providerEnv.ts`	Authentication tests cover concurrent refresh, temporary HTTP and connection failures, and retry after a timed-out renewal. An opt-in native Codex test checks renewal through a local responses endpoint and shared SQLite state.
Provider timeout behavior `apps/server/src/provider/CodexProvider.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CodexDriver.test.ts`	Tests check model-catalog and managed-account probe timeouts, including authenticated status, retained credentials, and process cleanup.

Explanation

The description covers the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the failure, the implementation, focused test results, manual verification, and agent details. The scope section does not provide maintainer approval, but it identifies the related issue and describes this as a focused bug fix, so the description is sufficiently complete.

Make process termination observable independently of scope closure.

The scope finalizer completes stopped even when kill was not called. Effect runs that finalizer when the scope closes, so the assertion on Line 106 can pass without proving process termination. (effect.website) Track the termination action separately and assert it after the probe completes. As per coding guidelines, “Test meaningful logic or observable behavior.”

Recover stale shadow-home WAL files after an interrupted process.

The previous implementation symlinked SQLite files into the shadow home. On Windows, SQLite can create WAL and SHM files beside that symlink path. An interrupted or force-killed process can leave an uncheckpointed WAL there.

The new process sets CODEX_SQLITE_HOME to the shared home and does not read or recover the shadow WAL. Committed transactions can therefore be missing from the next run. The inspected code does not establish database corruption as a consequence.

A clean shutdown of the last SQLite connection normally checkpoints and removes the WAL, so this requires an interrupted process or another uncheckpointed connection. Coordinate shutdown where possible, and recover or checkpoint any stale shadow-home WAL before switching paths. Do not delete or move a live WAL.

Tested head 1831f29a0c2a49e7005e9a7a24d6b8c2eccbd0c2 on Windows 11 Pro build 26200, x64. This follows the recurring installed-release failure reported in https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/24486#issuecomment-6546558291.

The focused suites pass, but a separate real-SQLite test still reproduces split committed views for an existing symlinked overlay.

Remaining existing-overlay case

At CodexHomeLayout.ts:171, any SQLite-family entry selects effectiveHomePath. That includes an existing state_5.sqlite symlink to the shared physical database. Materialization leaves that link intact, so the two database paths can still own different WAL/SHM files.

I reproduced this using the actual materializeCodexShadowHome and codexHomeEnvironment exports from this head, temporary directories, and node:sqlite (Node 24.18.1, SQLite 3.53.1). No real account data or credentials were used.

Steps:

Create shared/state_5.sqlite with PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL; CREATE TABLE entries (value TEXT);, then close the seed connection.
Create a file symlink shadow/state_5.sqlite -> shared/state_5.sqlite.
Open a writer through the shadow path. Set wal_autocheckpoint=0 and insert shadow-committed; leave it open.
Open another writer through the shared path. Set wal_autocheckpoint=0 and insert shared-committed; leave it open.
Call materializeCodexShadowHome(layout), then codexHomeEnvironment(layout, {}).
Query both connections after both inserts commit.

Observed:

json

1	{
2	"materialization": "succeeded",
3	"selectedHome": "shadow",
4	"samePhysicalDatabase": true,
5	"distinctWalFiles": true,
6	"sharedRows": ["shared-committed"],
7	"shadowRows": ["shadow-committed"]
8	}

A fresh-overlay control selected the shared home correctly. The remaining concern is the upgrade path for existing symlinked databases: private databases and links to a shared database need different handling. Preserving a live WAL is necessary, but continuing through the shadow path does not resolve the split ownership; coordinated recovery or an actionable refusal would be safer.

Testing and this report were prepared with GPT-6.1 Sol through Codex in T3 Code.

Thanks, @uShifty, for the earlier work and Windows verification. Closing this as a duplicate of #29574 by @nkcbuilds, which covers the same SQLite shadow-home failure and includes legacy-overlay and terminal safeguards. This PR has had no author push or reply in over a week.
