Problem

An app changing Codex accounts under T3, either by running codex login or by swapping ~/.codex/auth.json, is invisible to a running codex app-server. The app-server caches auth at spawn; its only reloads are guarded by account id and skip on mismatch; there is no watcher. When the old token still works, nothing errors: every turn keeps running on the old account and its limits burn. Issue #23720 is the loud cousin where refresh fails every turn; this silent variant has no open PR, and maintainer PR #28108 scopes external swaps out of its own body. Prior attempts #11147 and #24856 were closed unmerged.

Change

• Adapters may expose resolveCredentialFingerprint, a tri-state probe: a string identity, null once the provider surface carries no file credential, undefined when unobservable (torn write, unreadable mode, probe failure). The Adapter contract carries the annotation; null and undefined carrying different release consequences is the point.
• CodexAdapterV2 installs it for non-managed setups: a hash of tokens.account_id or the API key from auth.json, never the whole file, which is rewritten on every token refresh.
• ProviderSessionManager records the fingerprint at open and, at the cache-reuse seam, releases a live session on any change, with reason manual_shutdown, detail "Provider credentials changed.", and an orchestration-v2.provider-session-released log line (release detail is not persisted for non-error shutdowns). The released session respawns and a fresh app-server re-reads auth.json at spawn, so the next turn runs on the new account and Limits show for it.
• No new ProviderSessionReleaseReason literal: a fifth member would silently map pending requests to expired, and fix(server): saved provider settings reach the next turn without a restart #28108 plus ProviderAuthService both use the detail-string convention at this seam.

Closing-message checklist from #24856

Busy turns are kept: the release happens at the next reuse seam, not mid-turn. Background work is kept. There is no retry loop: one probe per reuse decision, and unobservable reads never release.

Composition with #28108

No collision. #28108 catches settings-driven rebuilds via adapter identity; this catches external credential swaps via the fingerprint. When both land, the seam condition is rebuilt || fingerprintChanged. If #28937 (spare sessions) lands first, it restructures the baseline-capture region; rebase order matters there.

Keyring limitation (verified from source)

Keyring-to-keyring swaps leave no disk signal: the Direct backend (macOS/Linux default) stores nothing on disk, and under Secrets (Windows default) the ciphertext file is re-encrypted on every save, so hashing it tracks writes, not identity; that idea is deferred and must never become fingerprint input. A missing auth.json under keyring|auto maps to null on purpose: that is precisely the value that releases on file-to-keyring and keyring-to-file mode transitions, the only file-visible signal such homes have.

Verification

• vpr typecheck: 39/39 packages. Focused suites: 282 passing across 7 files (re-ran after rebasing onto the current main tip). vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck pass. The same single pre-existing, environment-dependent AgentSessionScanner test fails on this stack, proven failing at HEAD.
• Established from openai/codex source at the pinned commit, statically and empirically. Repro on main, dev-server local: sign in via a Codex home backed by ~/.codex/auth.json, run a turn, then outside T3 replace auth.json's identity with another account's (or run codex login as the other user) and run another turn. The turn still runs on the old account and its limits, with no error anywhere; deleting auth.json entirely reproduces the same staleness. Source-level why: the app-server caches auth at spawn, its reload paths are guarded by account id (mismatch skips the reload), there is no watcher, and codex logout plus keyring saves both delete the file.
• Verified end to end on a dev server: scratch CODEX_HOME, a synthetic auth.json carrying only a fake account id, a real codex binary, and an isolated T3 home with one project. The first turn spawns the app-server against the scratch home and captures the credential baseline. Rewriting auth.json to a second fake account and sending another turn releases the still-live session when the turn's open re-checks. Server log, verbatim: orchestration-v2.provider-session-released { providerSessionId: 'provider-session:provider-instance:prb-probe:shared', reason: 'manual_shutdown', detail: 'Provider credentials changed.' }. A fresh app-server spawns immediately after with the new baseline, and its 401s (missing bearer auth against the synthetic file) confirm both sessions read the scratch home. No real account state is involved anywhere.
• Still not exercised: a swap between two real ChatGPT accounts with live limits, and keyring-only homes.
• Upstream oddity worth a separate report: the app-server login RPC reads cli_auth_credentials_store_mode from a snapshot that may differ from the auth manager's store mode frozen at construction.

Stacking

Depends on #29507 (refactor/codex-home-env-helper): CodexCredentials.ts calls withCodexEnvironmentHome. Merge that first.

This branch is stacked directly on top of it, so until #29507 merges, this PR's diff includes that commit's six files (home-derivation refactor, no fingerprint logic in them). After #29507 merges, GitHub collapses those commits and this PR shows only its own six files. Rebase target after the merge: current main.

Walkthrough

Codex home resolution now applies effective environment settings. Codex adapters can expose credential fingerprints. The session manager checks fingerprints before reusing sessions and handles changed credentials according to session activity and pending work.

Explanation

The description follows the required template and includes concrete reproduction steps, a source-level explanation, verification results, and the model and harness. The Scope and approval section does not link a triaged bug issue or maintainer discussion that explicitly approves the direction and scope. It cites issue #23720, prior PRs #11147 and #24856, and maintainer PR #28108, but it does not include a maintainer approval comment. The verification section reports typecheck, focused suites, and an end-to-end dev-server run with a log excerpt. It also identifies unverified cases: swaps between real ChatGPT accounts with live limits and keyring-only homes. The check fails because approval for the external-credential-swap fix is not documented.

Resolution

Add a link to the triaged bug issue or maintainer discussion that approves this direction and scope. Include the approval comment. Issue #23720 and PR #28108 do not satisfy this requirement because PR #28108 scopes external swaps out. If no maintainer approval exists, explain why this fix qualifies without prior approval. The explanation must show that the change is a very small, focused fix for an obvious bug. The current description does not clearly establish this. The remaining description can stay unchanged.

apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderSessionManager.ts:1190-1261
Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Do not adopt a readable fingerprint when the runtime baseline is unknown.

If the pre-spawn read fails, the app-server can load account A before auth.json changes to account B. The first readable reuse probe then records B and keeps the A runtime. Later probes compare against B, so the stale runtime is not released.

Keep the current behavior when the current probe is undefined. When the current probe is readable and the baseline is unknown, route it through the existing release path instead of adopting it.

Suggested fix

-        // A legacy (undefined) baseline adopts the first readable fingerprint, whatever it shows.
-        if (baseline === undefined) {
-          const live = (yield* Ref.get(sessions)).get(key);
-          if (live?.runtime !== entry.runtime) {
-            return false;
-          }
-          yield* Ref.update(sessions, (current) => {

Add a startup fingerprint-swap regression test.

The fixture changes credentialFingerprint only between manager.open calls, and its fake openSession never changes the fingerprint during startup. These tests can therefore pass if the initial probe moves after openSession. Add a case where openSession changes the fingerprint during the first startup, then call manager.open again and assert that the first session is released before the replacement opens.

Fixed in 3d81e20, on top of the merged refactor branch. The adoption branch is deleted. When the open-time probe fails, the baseline stays unknown, and the first readable reuse probe now goes through the existing release path instead of being recorded, so the runtime started before an account swap is released and the next open spawns a fresh one. An unreadable current probe still keeps the session.

Tests: the old pinning test now asserts the release on the first readable fingerprint (a later change still recycles), and a new case puts the swap inside adapter openSession to confirm the pre-spawn baseline does not absorb it.

[justsrc]

The Test Web failure on this head is #22324's known runner flake, not this branch: the one failing test is the MessagesTimeline layout check 'keeps the worked-for heading in place when expanded at the bottom', whose log shows the ResizeObserver undelivered-notification signature from that issue, and this diff touches two server files only. Everything else passed: 8 server shards, unit tests, build, typecheck, lint. A rerun from the repository side should go green.

3955-4006: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Delete or fold this test into the "unchanged" test.

This test sets credentialFingerprint to "fp-alice", which is the value it already holds. The setup and assertions match the test at lines 3850-3898: two open calls, the same runtime returned, openCount of 1, and closeCount of 0. The extra Ref.set changes nothing the manager can observe, so the test adds no regression coverage.

Remove this test. Alternatively, add the Ref.set(credentialFingerprint, "fp-alice") step to the first test.

As per path instructions: "Request tests only as those rules allow." As per coding guidelines: "Extend before you add. When an existing test or table covers the behavior, add a row or an assertion there."

Reviewed and fixed in b7a2596: the re-read-to-same-value test is deleted. It set the Ref to the value it already held, so the probe the manager sees is byte-identical to the unchanged test's; the deleted case added no matchmaking the unchanged test misses.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Merged current main without conflicts in c072045. The PR's 13-file diff is unchanged. Confirmed the existing fixes for pre-spawn credential capture and release-only logging, and resolved the already-addressed logging thread.

Blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed: 327 tests across 8 files, typechecks across 25 packages, lint, format, knip, and GraphQL checks. Two independent scoped code reviews approved this head. The previous CI failure was the unrelated MessagesTimeline browser test with pointer interception and ResizeObserver errors, consistent with the open runner-flake issue #22324; no unrelated web code was changed.

A live Codex account swap through the client remains unverified. Macroscope's human approval requirement remains for maintainer review.

@maria-rcks I guess this is better left as a draft until #29507 is merged or closed?
