Summary

opencodex is a provider proxy. A user who configures one provider and one model — no routing profile, no Compatibility Lab — was still executing Lab code on every request and loading the Lab module graph at startup, with no way to decline it.

This draws the boundary. Users who never configure a routing profile now execute zero Lab code.

Six verified coupling points, all on the mandatory path:

Location Ran when Gate before
responses/core.ts:36 → call at ~1999 every request attempt, streaming and non-streaming none
router.ts:34 policy/ routes only runtime-gated, import unconditional
server/index.ts:48-53 every server start enabled:false skipped the scheduler only
server/lifecycle.ts:10 every shutdown none
usage/log.ts:50 every attempt log write none
management lab-routes.ts / lab-automation-routes.ts API mount none

The expensive one was lifecycle.ts. A single import closed a cycle —
assemble → routing/quota → providers/quota → codex/auth-api → codex/native-main-admission → server/lifecycle → lab/automation/orchestrator — that pulled ~69 src/lab/ modules into every install, where no individual file looked wrong.

Result

src/router.ts                24 → 0   reachable src/lab modules
src/server/lifecycle.ts      69 → 0
src/server/responses/core.ts 24 → 0

Design: registration, not dynamic import

Routing stays synchronous. routeModelInternal is sync, and so is the subagent-fallback chain that calls routeModel (isNativeModelQuotaExhausted, isModelHealthBlocked, selectAvailableSubagentModel, …). Making it async to relocate an import would touch ~283 call sites and break those APIs.

Instead the core declares slots and optional subsystems register into them at activation:

  • src/lib/optional-shutdown-hooks.ts — teardown without importing the subsystem
  • src/server/passive-route-linker.ts — per-attempt route identity
  • src/routing/compatibility/provider-slot.ts — candidate compatibility evidence

Activation is synchronous and gated (labActivationRequired), running in the same turn as Bun.serve so a policy route can never be evaluated before its evidence provider is registered.

src/server/index.ts is deliberately exempt: a composition root is supposed to know which optional subsystems exist. Lab modules do no import-time work — no directory creation, no SQLite handle, no timer — so the user-facing guarantee holds.

Behavior preserved

CL-09 passive signals, the Compatibility Matrix, ocx lab production-signals, and compatibility-gated routing profiles all work unchanged for installs that opt in. labRouteSubjectId is untouched in usage/log.ts. Nothing is retired.

Verification

  • bun x tsc --noEmit — exit 0, locally and on a Linux runner.
  • Full suite, four shards matching CI (scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh) on Ubuntu / Bun 1.3.14: shards 1–4 all exit 0, 11,916 tests, 0 failures. The new boundary suites ran inside the shards.
  • Focused: 80 tests across the boundary and Lab files; 34 routing tests; repo-hygiene 11.

Guards driven red before being trusted, per this repo's precedent for structural invariants:

Attack Result
direct import … from "./lab/paths" failed, printed src/router.ts -> src/lab/paths.ts
side-effect import "./lab/paths" failed
runtime export … from "./lab/paths" failed
top-level void import("./lab/paths") passed — a real hole in my own guard, now fixed and pinned
import type from lab/constants correctly ignored

Two real defects were found by independent review executing the code rather than reading it, and both are fixed here:

  1. A deferred-activation design I proposed would have let a policy alias be silently dropped from a subagent fallback chain, running the subagent on a different model than the operator configured — no error, no log. Removed the window entirely rather than patching it.
  2. A parseable-but-non-normalizable automation-config.json threw out of activateLab and therefore out of startServer, after Bun.serve had bound — on the startup path of every install with a routing profile. Now degrades to a warning with automation off.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Design and full audit history: devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/ (10 documents, including three adversarial review rounds and a self-correction where my own design premise proved false).

Related: CL-10 PRs #1628 and #1510 were closed pending this boundary; both branches are intact and the work can be resubmitted on top of it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Compatibility Lab activates only when required by routing profiles or automation settings.
    • Compatibility evidence remains available during routing and policy evaluation when enabled.
    • Added safe optional-subsystem startup, scheduler management, and shutdown cleanup.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented Lab-related failures from interrupting startup or request processing.
    • Improved handling of malformed or legacy automation configuration.
  • Documentation
    • Added design, governance, compatibility-boundary, and verification documentation.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for activation, routing evidence, shutdown behavior, and core/Lab isolation.

The Compatibility Lab reaches the proxy core on the mandatory path: a user with
no routing profile still executes Lab code on every request and loads the Lab
module graph at startup. The measured cost is small; the architectural cost is
not, and there is no way to decline it.

Roadmap unit devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/ records six verified
coupling points and the import cycle that makes them expensive:

  routing/compatibility/assemble -> routing/quota -> providers/quota
  -> codex/auth-api -> codex/native-main-admission -> server/lifecycle
  -> lab/automation/orchestrator

That cycle pulls ~69 src/lab files into the graph, so cutting the lifecycle edge
is phase 1 rather than the most visible symptom.

Design is registration, not dynamic import: core declares slots, Lab registers
into them at activation. Routing stays synchronous because making it async to
relocate an import would touch ~283 call sites and break the sync
subagent-fallback API.

060 records an independent adversarial audit (FAIL, 5 blockers) and the
amendments. The most serious: the planned deferred-activation window was
fail-closed, not degrade-open -- compatibility unknownEvidence defaults to
exclude, so a policy request in that window throws
NoEligiblePolicyCandidateError rather than losing evidence. Phase 3 now awaits
activation before policy routing.

CODEOWNERS adds an owner-only block for the four core files, placed after
/src/server/ so last-match-wins takes effect. Branch protection on dev now
requires code-owner review.

No runtime code changes in this commit.
Round 2 (FAIL, 4 blockers) found that the round-1 readiness-gate fix introduced
worse defects than it closed. The reviewer proved three by executing the real
modules: during a deferred-activation window a policy alias in a subagent
fallback chain is silently skipped and the subagent runs on a different model
than the operator configured -- no error, no log, only a skipped entry.

The reviewer's key observation: that window does not exist today. Static imports
make compatibility evidence load synchronously. My own deferral created it.

070 removes deactivation from scope (reconcile only ever activates; a
create-then-delete user keeps Lab resident until restart, which does not affect
users who never opted in).

080 is a self-correction made while round 3 was in flight. I verified that
readinessGate is NOT admission control -- it appears three times in
server/index.ts and the only read is inside the /ready response body at :852, a
status report for external supervisors. So 070's A1 rested on a false premise.

The resolution is to never make activation asynchronous. server/index.ts already
imports Lab statically and already runs its startup block synchronously; the
protected set is corrected to three files, with server/index.ts treated as an
unprotected composition root. A composition root is supposed to know which
optional subsystems exist.

Bun.serve binds at :1638 and the Lab block sits at :1738, so I verified the gap:
the three awaits in that range are inside the server.stop closure, the one .then
is fire-and-forget quota priming, and scheduleStartupRun is documented as never
blocking listen. The path is synchronous, so no request can be handled before
activation. That ordering is now stated as an invariant and phase 4 asserts it.

No runtime code changes in this commit.
Reviewer verified the corrected design empirically: with phase-1/2 cuts
simulated, router.ts, lifecycle.ts, and responses/core.ts each reach zero
src/lab modules, and none transitively reaches server/index.ts.

Two independent confirmations. Startup ordering: the only awaits between
Bun.serve (:1638) and return server (:1752) are inside the server.stop closure,
and startServer is non-async, so the sync subagent-fallback path cannot observe
an unregistered slot. Loaded vs executed: Lab modules do no import-time work --
ensureLabDirs is called from function bodies, never top level, and the single
module-level allocation is an empty Map. A static import in the composition root
creates no directory, opens no SQLite handle, and starts no timer.

Two findings folded in. R3-1 (Medium): the dry-run endpoint assembles candidate
evidence outside the activation gate, so an operator preview would disagree with
production AND the behavioral guard would pass while the property is violated --
fixed by activating on the create and dry-run paths, and by extending the guard.
R3-2 (Low): runtime activation must resolve configDir the way startup does.

Also recorded: the reviewer disclosed that its probe started a real server and
triggered the #1610 model-rename migration on the live user config. Assessed and
left as-is -- idempotent, the same change any ocx start applies, user data
outside the repo, working tree unaffected. The missing isolation instruction was
a defect in my dispatch packet and is now part of phase 4 test guidance.

No runtime code changes in this commit.
server/lifecycle.ts imported lab/automation/orchestrator for two teardown calls.
That single edge closed a cycle:

  routing/compatibility/assemble -> routing/quota -> providers/quota
  -> codex/auth-api -> codex/native-main-admission -> server/lifecycle
  -> lab/automation/orchestrator

so any module reaching lifecycle.ts dragged the Lab graph in with it, including
for installs with no routing profile.

Core now owns a shutdown-hook registry and never names Lab. Lab registers its
teardown inside setLabAutomationDispatchDeps, next to the existing
registerCurrentServerResourceCleanup lease, so activation and teardown
registration cannot drift apart. A process that never activates Lab registers
nothing and shutdown does no work.

Measured on the module graph, runtime imports only:

  src/server/lifecycle.ts     69 -> 0 reachable src/lab modules
  src/router.ts               24 (phase 2/3 scope, via compatibility/subject)
  src/server/responses/core.ts 24 (phase 2/3 scope, same path)

One deliberate behavior change: teardown is now scoped to the activated
configDir, where the previous shutdown call passed none and keyed on the
default. setLabAutomationDispatchDeps is per-configDir, so those disagreed in
multi-config test processes.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 7 new hook tests pass; 52 lab-automation
tests across 7 files pass; repo-hygiene and lab-passive-production-evidence pass.

Phase 1 of devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/.
Phase 1 registered the shutdown hook only inside setLabAutomationDispatchDeps.
That covers the startup path, but the management API and the CLI can start a
scheduler without ever installing dispatch deps:

  server/management/lab-automation-routes.ts:69  applySchedulerPolicy
  cli/lab.ts:399

In those cases no hook existed, and since core no longer imports the orchestrator
to stop it, the scheduler survived drainAndShutdown -- a live interval leaking
past shutdown. Enabling Lab automation from the dashboard was enough to hit it.

Proven before fixing: a probe asserting the scheduler stops after
runOptionalShutdownHooks failed with runningAfter=true, then passed after the
change. That probe is now a permanent regression test.

startLabAutomationScheduler registers its own keyed teardown, so the hook exists
whenever a timer exists regardless of which entry point created it. The two keys
are distinct (lab-automation: vs lab-automation-scheduler:), and the registry
replaces by key, so repeated starts cannot accumulate hooks.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 60 tests pass across 8 files (52
lab-automation + 8 shutdown-hook).

Found by my own pre-audit of phase 1 while the reviewer was running.
Phase 1's tests exercised the registry with inline closures only, so none of them
imported the orchestrator and none asserted that a REAL Lab scheduler is stopped.
010:168-169 had called for exactly that outcome-level assertion and it was
missing from the diff -- which is why the scheduler leak reached review.

Adds the four cases an independent audit reproduced in an isolated configDir:

  case D  startup activates, its lease is released, then PUT /api/lab/automation
          restarts the scheduler with no deps -- the production trigger, needing
          no unusual setup
  case B  setLabAutomationDispatchDeps({}) early-returns a no-op release without
          registering anything
  case C  ordinary activation still torn down
  double  shutdown running twice is safe and idempotent

Case D is the one I missed: my own probe covered only the never-activated path.
All four fail against the pre-fix orchestrator and pass against 00a345b.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 75 tests pass across 9 files.
An activated config now carries two hooks -- lab-automation: from the deps lease
and lab-automation-scheduler: from the timer. Independent review probed the
interactions (cases E-H) and found them sound; these tests keep them that way.

  repeated starts    three startLabAutomationScheduler calls leave one working
                     hook, guarded twice: the existing-timer early return skips
                     re-registration, and the registry replaces by key
  restart            a scheduler restarted after a completed shutdown re-arms,
                     so the registry is not one-shot

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 77 tests pass across 9 files.
responses/core.ts called resolveProductionRouteSubject on every request attempt
-- streaming and non-streaming, once per attempt and once per combo child -- with
no way to turn it off. The call is not free even when it produces nothing:
resolveCompatibilitySubjectsForInboundWire builds a Lab protocol subject and
digests it before it checks for an installation salt, so an install with no
routing profile ran Lab digest work per request and discarded it.

Core now holds a nullable slot. It resolves to null unless an opt-in subsystem
registered a linker, and the non-throwing guarantee lives in the slot helper
rather than being restated at the call site. The Lab implementation moves to
src/lib/lab-passive-linker-registration.ts, alongside the other lab-* host
integrations, to be installed at activation in phase 3.

CL-09 keeps working for installs that opt in: labRouteSubjectId is unchanged in
usage/log.ts, and passive-production, the management route, the CLI, and the
Compatibility Matrix all read the same field. Nothing is retired.

The CL-09 architecture guard is inverted rather than deleted, as 020 planned: it
asserted core CONTAINS resolveProductionRouteSubject, and now asserts core
contains neither it nor any routing/compatibility import, with the positive
assertion moved onto the registration module.

responses/core.ts still reaches Lab transitively through router.ts ->
routing/compatibility/assemble.ts -> catalog.ts -> lab/query/catalog.ts. That is
phase 3 scope and is why the remaining count is unchanged at 24.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 49 tests pass across 4 files.

Phase 2 of devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/.
…eline

Local: tsc exit 0; 14 shutdown-hook + 8 linker + 16 CL-09 + 52 lab-automation +
11 repo-hygiene all green.

Module graph, runtime imports only: lifecycle.ts 69 -> 0 reachable src/lab
modules. router.ts and responses/core.ts remain at 24 through a single traced
chain (router -> assemble -> catalog -> lab/query/catalog), which is phase 3.

Both boundary guards were driven red before being trusted: reintroducing the Lab
import into responses/core.ts failed the new boundary test and the inverted CL-09
guard, and the phase-1 scheduler leak showed runningAfter=true before its fix.

The remote Linux full suite reported 127 failures. Recorded as a pre-existing
full-suite condition rather than absorbed silently, on three independent grounds:
no Lab or boundary test is among them; every sampled failing file passes
standalone on the same host and commit; and a clean dev baseline at c6688c7 on
the same runner accumulated failures on the same trajectory (19 -> 112) and
converges toward the branch count.

That is cross-file interference in an unsharded run -- which is why CI shards the
suite into four fresh-process batches (#1469). The authoritative full-suite
signal for this branch is CI on the PR, not one unsharded host run.
All three protected core files now reach ZERO src/lab modules:

  src/router.ts                24 -> 0
  src/server/lifecycle.ts      69 -> 0   (phase 1)
  src/server/responses/core.ts 24 -> 0

routeModelInternal stays synchronous. Making it async to permit a dynamic import
would touch ~283 call sites and break the sync subagent-fallback API
(isNativeModelQuotaExhausted, isModelHealthBlocked, selectAvailableSubagentModel
and friends have nowhere to await), so the seam is a nullable provider slot
instead.

assemble.ts keeps capability, health, quota, and cost -- the evidence routing
always needs -- and consults the slot for compatibility. The Lab-reaching half
(subject resolution, catalog snapshot, projection read, attachCompatibilityEvidence)
moves verbatim into lab-evidence-provider.ts; its state already arrived entirely
through arguments, so this is a relocation, not a rewrite. With no provider
registered the evaluator sees no compatibility evidence and scores exactly as it
did before compatibility policy existed.

Per audit B5 the options type splits along the same seam: CoreEvidenceOptions
carries configDir and routedProviderConfig, while the three Lab test seams belong
to LabCompatibilityProviderOptions. AssemblePolicyEvidenceOptions remains as an
alias so existing callers keep compiling.

Activation is synchronous and gated. server/index.ts calls activateLab only when
labActivationRequired -- any routing profile, or automation enabled on disk -- and
does so in the same synchronous turn as Bun.serve, so no request can observe an
unregistered slot. Three audit rounds established that a deferred window is
unpatchable: the sync fallback chain would silently drop a policy alias and run
the subagent on a different model than the operator configured.

labAutomationEnabledOnDisk mirrors loadLabAutomationConfig precedence
(automation-config.json first, automation-policy.json legacy) with plain node:fs,
so the detector never imports Lab to decide whether to import Lab.

Audit R3-1 and R3-2 are closed: the dry-run endpoint and the profile-create path
both activate first, so an operator preview cannot disagree with production, and
both resolve configDir the way the startup block does.

tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts enforces the property with a transitive
import-graph walk, not a regex -- the original defect hid in a six-hop chain where
no single file looked wrong. Driven red: reintroducing a direct Lab import into
router.ts failed both guards and printed the chain 'src/router.ts ->
src/lab/paths.ts'.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 84 tests pass across 6 boundary/Lab
files; 34 routing tests pass; 6 boundary guards pass.

Phase 3 of devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/.
I attacked my own guard instead of trusting it, and defeated it: a top-level
`void import("./lab/paths")` in a protected file passed cleanly while loading
Lab at runtime. The walker matched static imports, side-effect imports, and
runtime re-exports, but not dynamic import().

The regex now covers all four forms, and the four attacks plus a type-only
negative case are permanent tests that synthesize each import shape against a
temporary probe file. A guard that only matches the shapes which happen to exist
today would rot silently -- these fail if the walker regresses.

Type-only imports stay excluded: they are erased at build time, so they are not
runtime edges, and the negative test pins that distinction rather than leaving it
implicit.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 11 tests pass. Each attack was confirmed
red before the fix (dynamic import: 0 failures before, 2 after).
startLabAutomationScheduler runs the full automation normalizer, which throws
LabAutomationError on any field violation. labAutomationEnabledOnDisk only checks
policy.enabled, so a parseable file with enabled:true but missing optional fields
passed the gate and then threw -- out of activateLab, out of startServer, after
Bun.serve had already bound.

This sat on the startup path of every install with a routing profile, because
activateLab reaches the scheduler branch regardless of why activation was
required. Reproduced in an isolated configDir: threw 'invalid policy layers',
provider slot registered, activation record absent -- so the receipts were
orphaned and a later activateLab would register the slots a second time.

A partially written automation file now disables Lab automation for the run and
logs what to fix; routing, evidence, and everything else keep working. The
activation record is stored before the scheduler call so a throw cannot leave
slots and record inconsistent.

The pre-phase-3 code read the legacy file through loadLabAutomationPolicy and
never ran the combined-config normalizer, so this was a regression introduced by
the boundary work, not a pre-existing condition.

Also from the audit: the activation-key invariant is now written down (activation
is all-or-nothing and reason-independent, which is what makes configDir a safe
key -- if a registration ever becomes conditional, the key must include the
reason), and the guard's known limits are stated rather than implied (a static
walker cannot resolve computed specifiers; require() is unavailable in an ESM
package).

Adds tests/lab-activation.test.ts (10) covering the crash regression, the bare
install registering nothing, idempotence, the automation-only-then-profile
ordering trap, and all six detection-precedence cases; plus
tests/compatibility-provider-equivalence.test.ts pinning that every candidate
gets a compatibility object when requirements exist -- including unresolvable
ones -- and none when no provider is registered.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 57 tests pass across 4 files.
…nfig

Independent review reproduced a 5018ms startup stall by holding the automation
state lock with a live PID: activation waited out the 5s lock timeout, then
logged 'automation config is invalid' and continued. The file was fine -- the
cause was contention -- so the message sent the operator to fix the wrong thing.

The two causes now get different messages because they need different actions,
and the lock case says it will retry on the next start rather than implying
corruption. Also records why the failure asymmetry is deliberate: startup
degrades with a warning, while the management API and CLI let LabAutomationError
surface (the route maps it to a 400). Someone toggling automation should see the
validation error; someone merely starting the proxy should not lose unrelated
traffic.

Adds coverage for a failed scheduler start leaving nothing dangling: the shutdown
hook is registered before the throw, so a hook exists with no timer behind it --
verified harmless (no running scheduler, hooks run without throwing).

Test isolation fix: the provider and linker slots are process-global, so a
sibling test file that registered one leaked into the bare-install assertion.
beforeEach now resets the slots themselves, not just the activation record.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 80 tests pass across 6 files.
A prose rule would not have caught the original violation -- CL-01 through CL-09
each passed CI and automated review -- so the enforcement is
tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts. This entry exists so a contributor meets the
rule before CI does, and understands why it is not a style preference: the
violation hid in a six-hop chain where no single file looked wrong.

Also records the two obligations that are easy to break by accident: activation
must stay behind labActivationRequired, and it must stay synchronous. The second
is load-bearing -- everything between Bun.serve and the return of startServer
runs in one synchronous turn, and the subagent-fallback chain has nowhere to
await, so an await added before the activation block would silently reroute
subagents to a different model than the operator configured.

server/index.ts is exempt by design: a composition root is supposed to know which
optional subsystems exist. Its obligation is the gate, not the import.
Four shards, matching how CI runs the suite: 11,916 tests, 0 failures, every
shard exit 0. The new boundary suites were picked up by the shards rather than
only by focused local runs.

This also settles the earlier 127-failure unsharded result: the same tree passes
clean when run the way CI runs it, which confirms that number was cross-file
interference rather than a defect in this work.

Records the guard red-runs including the dynamic-import hole -- the one attack
that passed until it was fixed.

P1 Badge Activate Lab for runtime automation opt-ins

When the proxy starts without profiles and with automation disabled, this gate skips activateLab, but PUT /api/lab/automation can subsequently enable the scheduler and POST /api/lab/automation/run can launch a manual experiment without activating it. Those paths therefore have no production routeExecutor; live-route runs terminate as route_ineligible even though the API reports that automation is running. Activate Lab from the automation management routes before starting or dispatching work, just as the first-profile route does.

P2 Badge Re-register Lab resources on each server start

When the exported startServer API is used sequentially with the same config directory, stopping the first server invokes its owner cleanup, which releases the automation dispatch dependencies and stops its scheduler, but the activated entry remains. The next server then returns here without restoring the route executor or restarting enabled automation, so Lab remains partially disabled for the lifetime of the process. Make the activation record owner-scoped or remove/revalidate it when the owning server releases its resources.

24 checks pass, 0 failures. All four CI test shards green, which independently
confirms the lidge run and closes out the earlier unsharded 127-failure
observation.

Records why the release is deferred rather than skipped: MAINTAINERS.md makes
promotion maintainer-controlled and the release runs from dev after the PR lands.
Releasing from a feature branch would violate the branch policy this unit just
tightened.

opencodex is a provider proxy. A user who configures one provider and one model — no
routing profile, no Compatibility Lab, no evidence collection — currently executes Lab
code on every request and loads the entire Lab module graph at startup.

Align all boundary and ownership artifacts with the final three-file contract. The final design excludes src/server/index.ts from the protected core because it is the composition root with synchronous gated activation, but the plan, guard documentation, verification evidence, and CODEOWNERS still either treat it as protected or include it without explaining the exception. Update these artifacts consistently: mark the original rule as superseded, scope the guard claims to the three protected modules, and either remove /src/server/index.ts from CODEOWNERS or document its intentional separate approval requirement.

## CODEOWNERS

`.github/CODEOWNERS` already routes `/src/server/` to all three maintainers. The owner
directive is that the three core files specifically require **owner** approval. Add a
dedicated section after the existing "High-impact runtime behavior" block:

```diff
+# Proxy core boundary — owner approval required.
+# These files carry every user's request path. Optional subsystems must register into
+# core-owned slots rather than being imported here; see
+# devlog/_plan/260814_lab_core_decoupling/ and tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts.
+/src/router.ts @lidge-jun
+/src/server/index.ts @lidge-jun
+/src/server/lifecycle.ts @lidge-jun
+/src/server/responses/core.ts @lidge-jun
```

Later rules win in CODEOWNERS, so these must sit **after** the `/src/server/` line to take
effect. Placement is load-bearing, not cosmetic.

## Branch protection

CODEOWNERS requests review; it does not require it. `MAINTAINERS.md` is explicit that no
branch protection is configured on this repository and that the approval requirement is
convention. This unit changes that for `dev`.

Owner has `admin: true` (verified via `gh api repos/lidge-jun/opencodex --jq .permissions`),
so the rule can be applied:

```bash
gh api -X PUT repos/lidge-jun/opencodex/branches/dev/protection \
--input .tmp/dev-protection.json
```

with `required_pull_request_reviews.require_code_owner_reviews: true`,
`required_approving_review_count: 1`, `enforce_admins: false`, and
`required_status_checks` left as-is to avoid breaking the existing CI gates.

`enforce_admins: false` is deliberate: the owner performs emergency repairs and release
promotions directly, and `MAINTAINERS.md` already reserves direct pushes for exactly that.

Verify by reading the rule back:

```bash
gh api repos/lidge-jun/opencodex/branches/dev/protection --jq '{
code_owner: .required_pull_request_reviews.require_code_owner_reviews,
count: .required_pull_request_reviews.required_approving_review_count
}'
```

GitHub REST API update branch protection required request body fields required_status_checks enforce_admins required_pull_request_reviews restrictions

💡 Result:

To update branch protection rules using the GitHub REST API, you must send a PUT request to the endpoint: PUT /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branches/{branch}/protection [1][2]. The request body requires specific fields to define the protection rules [3]. While several fields are technically optional depending on the desired configuration, the following are the primary top-level keys often referenced in the body [1][4]: required_status_checks (object or null): Configures required status checks. Set to null to disable [4]. enforce_admins (boolean or null): Specifies whether to enforce the configured restrictions for administrators. Set to null to disable [3][4]. required_pull_request_reviews (object or null): Configures pull request review requirements. Set to null to disable [1][4]. restrictions (object or null): Configures push access restrictions. Set to null to disable [1][4]. For detailed configuration of these objects: required_pull_request_reviews: - dismissal_restrictions (object): Defines who can dismiss reviews (users, teams, or apps) [1]. - dismiss_stale_reviews (boolean): If true, dismisses approving reviews when new commits are pushed [1]. - require_code_owner_reviews (boolean): If true, requires review from code owners [1]. - required_approving_review_count (integer): The number of required approvals (typically 0-6) [1]. - require_last_push_approval (boolean): If true, the most recent push must be approved by someone other than the author [1]. - bypass_pull_request_allowances (object): Allows specific users, teams, or apps to bypass these requirements [1]. restrictions: - users (array of strings): Logins of users with push access [5]. - teams (array of strings): Slugs of teams with push access [5]. - apps (array of strings): Slugs of GitHub Apps with push access [5]. Note that user, team, and app restrictions are generally only available for organization-owned repositories [1][5]. If you are updating an existing rule, ensure you include the necessary fields in your request body to maintain or modify the desired state [6]. Documentation indicates that omitting these fields can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior or errors if they are interpreted as required depending on the API version or context [7]. Always consult the official GitHub REST API documentation for your specific target version to confirm schema requirements [8][9].

Enable administrator enforcement for dev.

enforce_admins: false lets the owner bypass code-owner approval and configured status checks. MAINTAINERS.md requires maintainer approval and successful CI, while its direct-push rule is only a convention. Set enforce_admins: true, or define an auditable emergency path that preserves these checks.

Preserve the invalid automation configuration warning.

Lines 49-52 treat malformed and unreadable automation files as absent. If no routing profile exists, labActivationRequired returns false. activateLab then does not run, so Lines 114-138 never emit the required warning.

Distinguish an absent file from an invalid file. Disable automation for an invalid file, but emit one startup warning for that condition.

Also applies to: 64-78

Keep the test seam type-compatible.

assemblePolicyCandidateEvidence accepts CoreEvidenceOptions, so the direct object literals at tests/routing-compatibility.test.ts:317-321 and tests/routing-compatibility.test.ts:335-348 reject the Lab-only seams as excess properties when type-checked. Type each options object as LabCompatibilityProviderOptions before passing it, while keeping the core assembler type Lab-free.

Use a unique registration token for detach ownership.

Lines 32-35 use next as the ownership marker. If a caller registers the same PassiveRouteLinker function twice, the first detach function clears the second registration. This violates the replacement guarantee and silently disables passive linkage.

Proposed fix
 export function setPassiveRouteLinker(next: PassiveRouteLinker): () => void {
-  linker = next;
+  const registration: PassiveRouteLinker = (...args) => next(...args);
+  linker = registration;
   return () => {
     // Only detach our own registration: a later activation may have replaced it.
-    if (linker === next) linker = null;
+    if (linker === registration) linker = null;
   };

Restore global provider state on every test exit.

setCompatibilityEvidenceProvider changes module-global state. A thrown assertion or assembly error skips cleanup and can change later tests in the same process.

  • tests/compatibility-provider-equivalence.test.ts#L36-L55: retain the detach function and call it in finally, or reset the provider in afterEach.
  • tests/routing-compatibility.test.ts#L331-L350: call detach() in finally so failure paths also restore the slot.

Make the boundary walker resolve fixed template imports and explicit paths.

At tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts:39-47, IMPORT_RE misses import(\../lab/paths`), which has a fixed runtime specifier. resolveSpecalso missesimport "./bridge.ts"because it checks only derived candidates and not the existingbasefile. If either edge reachessrc/lab/, Guard 2 reports clean`.

Parse no-substitution template literals. Return base when it exists before checking derived candidates. Add temporary bridge probes for both forms.

Start the scheduler, invoke drainAndShutdown, and assert that the scheduler stops. This verifies the changed lifecycle path.

drainAndShutdown entry point, while preserving the scheduler startup and
stopped-state assertions. Ensure the regression test exercises the production
shutdown path and still performs cleanup through stopLabAutomationScheduler.

…pace (#1682)

Cherry-picked from @Wibias's PR #1676, which solved this before the boundary work
reached it. #1681 left management-api.ts eagerly importing the Lab and
routing-profile handlers, so every dashboard request still pulled ~70 src/lab
modules into the graph -- including on installs that never opted into Lab. My own
audit flagged it (B6) and I deferred it; Wibias had already implemented it.

The handlers now load per namespace, preserving the eager chain's ordering:
/api/lab/automation is matched before the general /api/lab handler, and
pathInManagementNamespace requires an exact hit or a child path so /api/labfoo
cannot collide with /api/lab.

  src/server/management-api.ts   70 -> 0 reachable src/lab modules

management-api.ts joins the protected set in tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts.

That addition required refining the guard, and the distinction is worth stating:
a dynamic import() is a DEFERRED edge, entered only if the branch runs, so the
graph walk no longer follows it -- lazy loading is the remedy this guard exists
to encourage, not a defect. Guard 1 still forbids a protected file from naming
Lab dynamically, so the coverage moved rather than disappeared, and the attack
suite now pins that split explicitly.

Not taken from #1676: the labIntegrationEnabled config flag. It gates Lab behind
a new setting with no migration from an existing automation-config.json, so an
operator already running Lab automation would silently stop after upgrading. The
merged approach reads the automation config that is already on disk instead.
Also avoided its require() calls -- they work under Bun, verified, but bind an
ESM package to the Bun runtime where a registration slot does not.

Verification: bun x tsc --noEmit exit 0; 93 tests pass across 7 files, including
162 management-API tests green before commit.

…sers who never opted in

Lands the Lab/core boundary (#1681) and the management-API namespace loading
cherry-picked from @Wibias's #1676 (#1682).

A user with no routing profile now executes zero Lab code:

  src/router.ts                 24 -> 0 reachable src/lab modules
  src/server/lifecycle.ts       69 -> 0
  src/server/responses/core.ts  24 -> 0
  src/server/management-api.ts  70 -> 0

Optional subsystems now register into core-owned slots at activation instead of
being imported by the core. Enforced by tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts, which
walks the runtime import graph rather than matching text -- the original
violation hid in a six-hop chain where no single file looked wrong.
