Pull request overview
Adds a first-pass, inside-the-sandbox self-report authored by Codex CLI and records the auto-loop tick history + backlog item that frames the “parallel external CLI agents” experiment in Zeta’s factory docs.
Changes:
- Added a Codex CLI inside-view harness self-report with orchestrator-run metadata frontmatter.
- Appended auto-loop-31..35 rows to the loop tick history ledger.
- Added a P1 BACKLOG row capturing the “parallel-CLI-agents / canonical inhabitance” directives and sub-tasks.

…tor research, secret-handoff analysis Three ticks landed together: auto-loop-31: Grok CLI verification blocked by xAI personal-tier billing wall; shared-state-visible escalation trigger fired correctly on Playwright X-OAuth snapshot (first real test of bottleneck-principle's five-trigger taxonomy); key-paste event handled with zero-persistence discipline. auto-loop-32: emulator substrate research first-pass published (PR #131) — RetroArch/MAME/Dolphin architectural survey with four factory-relevant patterns. Secret-handoff protocol gap surfaced by maintainer mid-tick. auto-loop-33: secret-handoff protocol options analysis published (PR #133) — five-tier survey with rotation/revocation/leak-mode mapping and explicit git-crypt-is-wrong-fit reasoning. Maintainer end-of-tick reply disclosed Itron PKI experience (nation-state- resistant, software+hardware+firmware) and preferred substrate tiers (env-var + password-manager CLI) plus Let's-Encrypt + ACME directive with PKI-bootstrap deferred. Five observations worth preserving: (a) five-trigger escalation taxonomy held under first real test; (b) xAI personal-tier billing wall drops Grok to HOLD-FOR-NOW; (c) bottleneck-principle has two layers (speculative-autonomy vs explicit-scope); (d) research-doc-as-pre-validation-anchor becoming a systematic pattern; (e) Itron PKI experience reframes factory security calibration.
…ron memory + multi-domain cascade) Extends PR #132 scope from three-tick batch (auto-loop-31+32+33) to four-tick batch by appending auto-loop-34 row covering: - Step 0 PR-pool audit (main `e503e5a` unchanged since #131 merge). - BACKLOG P1 row filed via PR #134 with maintainer-confirmed shape preference from auto-loop-33 reply (env-var + password-manager CLI + Let's-Encrypt/ACME + PKI-bootstrap deferred). - Itron PKI / supply-chain / secure-boot background memory authored (out-of-repo, maintainer context); five-layer security-engineering cascade captured verbatim. - Second-wave disclosure cascade captured (disaggregation, FFT, micro-Doppler/VWCD decomposition, power-grid signature algorithms PRIDES/Wavelet-GAT/GESL, director-level seniority, 5-of-10k organizational tier). - Bottleneck-principle two-layer distinction exercised live on first post-naming cycle (explicit-scope branch). - Accounting-lag same-tick-mitigation maintained (tenth consecutive tick). - Seven numbered observations + compoundings-per-tick = 8 + ledger math (net -8 units over 26 ticks).

…pping; ARC3 ≠ DORA; wink→wrinkle Closes capture-without-conversion gap surfaced by maintainer: second-wave Itron disclosures (auto-loop-34) had landed in memory without factory-work mappings. PR #135 produces the mappings (ARC3 §Prior-art lineage + BACKLOG row with 10 pairs + wink→wrinkle extension); this row is the accounting. Layer-separation correction absorbed (DORA objective, ARC-3 framing, HITL substrate between). ARC-3-class three-criteria operational definition captured (hard + continuously testable + no formal definition). Bayesian-evidence-threshold shape affirmed across surfaces. 7 compoundings; net -8 units over 27 ticks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…+ parallel-CLI-agents BACKLOG row
Aaron's AutoPR-local-variant experiment — launch Codex CLI headless
to document its own harness from the inside — produced a 145-line
self-report at docs/research/codex-cli-self-report-2026-04-22.md.
Codex ran in workspace-write sandbox, introspected its own tool
inventory / sandbox / env-var names / session-state / model
backends, honestly flagged gaps ("I could not determine the exact
base model backing this main conversation turn"), and ran a build
verification before signing off. Claude-as-orchestrator added a
cognition-level frontmatter block capturing the exact model +
reasoning-effort + sandbox-posture per Aaron's cognition-level-
ledger directive ("just becasue something is good for model a
does not mean it gonna be good for model b").
BACKLOG P1 row filed capturing four maintainer directives from
auto-loop-36: (a) parallel-CLI-agents skill for Claude to
orchestrate Codex/Gemini/future-CLIs the way it does internal
subagents; (b) cognition-level-per-activity ledger so quality
deltas across model-A-vs-model-B are attributable; (c) multi-CLI
skill-sharing architecture (.codex/skills vs root /skills
negotiated); (d) canonical inhabitance — factory substrate feels
native to each CLI, not Claude-rented — with the load-bearing
principle *"not just one harness gets to orginize it like they
want, this is for everyone"*.
Occurrence-1 of the parallel-CLI-agents framing; promotion to
ADR awaits a second genuine multi-CLI coordination event.

These Markdown links point to an absolute path on one contributor’s workstation, so they 404 for anyone reading the document on GitHub or from a differently located clone. In practice this makes the referenced docs non-navigable for almost all readers; use repo-relative links (for example ../..-style paths) so the references resolve in every environment.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Summary
First external-CLI inside-view self-report + the BACKLOG row that names the maintainer directives that framed it. Part of the AutoPR-local-variant experiment: Aaron asked "can you just work it out with the cli? like code or gemini and yall try it you can launch them, it would be cool if they worked on PR or filling out the insides of thier own harness and documenten it from the inside."
What's in this PR
docs/research/codex-cli-self-report-2026-04-22.md(146 lines, first-pass) — Codex CLI 0.122.0, running headless withcodex exec --sandbox workspace-write, introspects its own harness and writes the report itself. Seven sections: tool inventory, sandbox/approval model, env-var names + config paths, session-state visibility, what it could not determine from inside, inside-vs-outside view, signature. Claude-as-orchestrator added arun-metadata-added-by-orchestratorfrontmatter block capturing model (gpt-5.4), reasoning effort (xhigh), sandbox posture, and the invocation — per Aaron's cognition-level-ledger directive.docs/BACKLOG.mdP1 row — Parallel-CLI-agents skill + multi-CLI canonical-inhabitance architecture. Captures four maintainer directives verbatim:Tasksubagents..codex/skills/vs root/skills/negotiated, not imposed.Cognition-level envelope (for reproducibility)

First occurrence of the parallel-CLI-agents framing published as research + BACKLOG row. Promotion to ADR awaits a second genuine multi-CLI coordination event — same pattern as stacking-risk-decision-framework (auto-loop-30) and secret-handoff-protocol-options (auto-loop-33).
