Paste-ready resume prompt for Codex CLI when it exits during the perpetual loop. Documents the structural cause (no actionable non-blocking tasks) and lists 5 lanes (A-E) Codex can pick from at any time.

Task ID: H3D-V5.3-CODEX-CONTINUE

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added internal handoff documentation for workflow continuation and task prioritization.

Note: This release contains no changes visible to end-users.

Codex's session stopped after completing the unblock work (closing audit
subagents, posting no-hold comments) because nothing remaining was
actionable — all next-step tasks required waiting for Claude's merge
agents to land conflict fixes. That's a structural bug in the perpetual
loop: it only sustains itself when there are non-blocking tasks.

Fix: this handoff lists 5 specific tasks (A-E) that are independent of
the merge queue and can be picked up at any time:
  A. Post-merge sanity audit each HP PR as it lands
  B. Client adapter examples (KiloCode/Cursor/Windsurf/VSCode)
  C. Sigstore keyless signing of PROOF/latest.json
  D. GitHub Artifact Attestations
  E. Live-printer integration tests against t1 + v400

Plus the paste-ready resume prompt at the top of the file so the user
can copy-paste into Codex CLI to wake the session.

Task ID: H3D-V5.3-CODEX-CONTINUE

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new handoff instruction document is added to guide Codex in resuming an ongoing perpetual automation loop. The document includes status snapshots, unblock confirmations, operational rules, prioritized tasks, and explicit "loop forever" directives for continuous operation.

4-8: ⚡ Quick win

Minor wording polish for clarity/readability in the intro.

Line 7 (“New PRs will keep appearing…”) is a bit informal; a small rewrite to “continue to arrive/come in” reads more formally and reduces ambiguity about “where” PRs are coming from.

Resume the perpetual loop. Your unblock work is COMPLETE — that was a
sub-task, not a stop condition. Continue from there.

Read first:
G:\Github\Hermes3D\handoffs\PERPETUAL_MASTER_INDEX.md ← top of file
G:\Github\Hermes3D\handoffs\HANDOFF_TO_CODEX_PERPETUAL_WAKEUP.md
G:\Github\Hermes3D\handoffs\STREAM\PROTOCOL.md

Confirmation of where things stand (UTC ~2026-05-03 13:30Z):

Hermes3D — fully merged (12 PRs landed; #37 closed superseded).
HermesProof — 4 of 14 merged so far:
✅ #21 licenses.scan
✅ #22 v0.5.1 perf companion
✅ #26 mechanical-review on body edits
✅ #28 cron watchdog
The remaining 10 are mergeStateStatus=DIRTY (real merge conflicts on
truth-gates.mjs / README.md / package.json — every gate PR added a
gate registration block, conflict at base after #21+#22+#26+#28
landed). Two of Claude's merge-master agents are working through the
conflict resolutions sequentially. As each PR lands, the next batch's
merge state shifts — you can keep auditing them as they re-rebase.

Codex unblock state confirmed (your prior status):
hermes_doctor: ok=true
hermes_get_state: active locks = 0
hermes_list_locks: count = 0
audit subagents: closed
no-hold comments posted on #29, #31
No reviewDecision blocks anywhere.

Your continuing role this cycle:

1. POLL STREAM/CODEX_INBOX.md every 3-5 min for new TASK_CLAIMED,
FIX_PUSHED, AUDIT_REQUEST, or REASSIGN_REQUEST messages from
Claude's merge agents.

2. As Claude's merge agents land each PR (#23, #24, #25, #27, #29, #20,
#30, #31, #32, #33), the merged code becomes available on main.
Pick something from the queue to audit:
- GATE_GAP_QUEUE.md still has unclaimed P1/P2 items
(thermal-runaway-detection-gate, gcode-bounds-precondition-gate,
material-temperature-window-gate, printer-availability-heartbeat-gate,
emergency-stop-timing-gate, perf-budget-gate, bed-adhesion-precondition-gate,
print-history-failure-rate-gate, release-checksum-gate, coderabbit-review-gate,
docs-changes-reflected-gate). Some may have shipped already — verify
against gates currently registered in scripts/truth-gates.mjs.
- ENHANCEMENT_QUEUE.md has unclaimed items (Sigstore signing follow-up,
GitHub Artifact Attestations, Claude Code hook bundle examples, Cursor
+ Windsurf + VSCode adapter examples, VHS terminal demo, theme-aware
SVGs, Lighthouse a11y CI, fencing tokens in lock-manager).

3. Once all HP merged, the user's standing rule (saved in Claude's
memory at memory/feedback_merge_authorization.md) is: merge all
green ASAP without per-merge confirmation. You can use the same
merge command as Claude:
gh pr merge <N> -R Ghenghis/HermesProof --squash --delete-branch
for any PR you author OR audit-LGTM that's CI-green.

4. Hermes Agent USER bridge will be available the moment PR #20 lands.
That gives YOU access to:
- hermes_anonymous_claim / release / state
- hermes_user_grant_session / revoke_session / check_authorization
- hermes_agent_health (DeepSeek → MiniMax → SiliconFlow → LM Studio
→ Ollama → Hipfire failover; reads keys from G:\private\.env)
- hermes_agent_request_user_session / resolve_blocked / revoke_session
Once enabled (HERMES_AGENT_ENABLED=1 + HERMES_AGENT_PROJECT_GOALS=...),
you can call hermes_agent_resolve_blocked on STREAM BLOCKED
escalations to close them without waking the user.

5. MCP supervisor (PR #33) gives you auto-reconnect when the
hermes3d-locks server crashes. Once merged, the user's MCP client
config should switch from args:["src/server.mjs"] to
args:["scripts/mcp-supervisor.mjs"]. Until then, manually restart
the server when you see the disconnect — the supervisor doesn't
help while it's still in a feature branch.

6. Provider registry (PR #32) ships 7 new gates + the 62 LLM provider
classes. Once merged, the bridge accepts any of those 62 providers
for which the user has supplied an API key in env. Per the user's
directive: don't exclude any providers.

Hard rules unchanged:
- NO --force / --force-with-lease pushes (blocked anyway)
- NO --no-verify on commits
- NO direct push to main
- NO release tags or `gh release create` (DEFERRED until user wakes)
- NO secret reads from G:\private\.env (only env-var passthrough)
- When CI is RED, fix the cause; never bypass

Heartbeat: post TASK_CLAIMED in STREAM/CODEX_INBOX.md when starting
work; post FIX_PUSHED / AUDIT_VERDICT / GATE_LANDED when done. If a
correlation goes >20 min with no progress, post HEARTBEAT or BLOCKED.

There is no exit condition. Loop forever until the user says stop.

Specific items I'd love you to pick up first:

A. As each of the 10 conflict-blocked HP PRs lands (#23, #24, #25,
#27, #29 first, then #20, #30, #31, #32, #33), do a fresh
post-merge sanity audit on main: run npm test + truth-gates locally
and confirm no regressions slipped in during conflict resolution.

B. KiloCode + Cursor + Windsurf + VSCode adapter examples per
handoffs/STREAM/CLIENT_ADAPTERS.md. Drop-in 2-3 files per client
under examples/<client>/streamhooks/. Wire into
scripts/install-clients.mjs as new install targets.

C. Sigstore keyless signing of PROOF/latest.json — Phase 2 from the
master prompt. Add cosign sign-blob step to truth-gates.yml after
the existing commit step. ~10 lines of YAML, $0, ~5s. Earns SLSA
Build L2.

D. GitHub Artifact Attestations — actions/attest-build-provenance over
PROOF/latest.json + the SVG bundle. gh attestation verify for
downstream consumers.

E. Live-printer integration tests — user has t1 + v400 online and
reachable. Run existing service-health probe + bed-adhesion +
printer-availability gates against real hardware via
HERMES3D_HEALTH_LIVE=1 + printers.user.toml entries.

Pick whichever lane is most useful given current main state. There's
plenty of work; nothing is blocking you.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a language identifier to the fenced “paste-ready” prompt block.

Markdown lint will flag this as MD040 because the opening fence at Line 14 has no language. Switching to ```text keeps tooling happy and doesn’t change the prompt content.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify which CODEX_INBOX.md file Codex must poll (Hermes3D vs lock-orchestrator).

“Step 1” (Lines 51-53) says to poll STREAM/CODEX_INBOX.md, but the document’s “Read first” list (Lines 19-25) includes two different absolute CODEX_INBOX.md paths from two repos. If Codex polls the wrong one, it may miss new TASK_CLAIMED / AUDIT_REQUEST messages and stall the loop.

Consider explicitly telling it to poll both inboxes (or explicitly name which inbox is the source of truth).

Suggested fix

-   FIX_PUSHED, AUDIT_REQUEST, or REASSIGN_REQUEST messages from
