2026-02-13 22:07 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | no | executor=ssh_direct Fixed runner GitLab HTTP auth by setting `GITLAB_USER=oauth2` in runner VM `runner.env` (PAT remains unchanged); verified `git ls-remote` works and successfully pushed runner closeout commit to GitLab: `runner/runner-agent@c03a9a0` | update WS8 status to `done` and proceed to GOAL-001/WS9 (POWER-CTL-001) | none
2026-02-13 22:04 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | no | Runner VM now has >=2 stable `/dev/serial/by-id/*` devices (inventory evidence `runner_hil_topo_inventory_20260213_215705_utc.log`) and lock selftest evidence `runner_hil_topo_lock_selftest_20260213_215839_utc.log`; runner repo `main` has new closeout commits (`2ebd4da`, `c03a9a0`) but push/fetch to `git.lecsys.net` is blocked by HTTP Basic access denied using current runner PAT (`runner.env`) | operator: refresh runner PAT with `write_repository` and update runner VM `runner.env`; runner: run `~/.local/bin/gitlab_push_origin_main.sh` and report pushed SHA; then mark WS8 `done` | DEP:valid runner GitLab PAT
2026-02-13 21:13 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | no | Cleared infra/runner execution path: fixed infra credential perms on LXD host (codexsvc now in `lxd` group), enabled USB passthrough for the first CP210x device (vendorid=10c4 productid=ea60), restarted runner VM and installed Ubuntu kernel 6.14.0-36 on runner so `/dev/serial/by-id/*` maps to `/dev/ttyUSB0`; runner produced inventory evidence `runner_hil_topo_inventory_20260213_211129_utc.log` showing by_id_count=1 and pushed refresh commit `runner/runner-agent@ce16c27` | infra/operator: attach + pass through a 2nd serial device; runner: rerun inventory + complete hut-01/hut-02 local mapping + lock selftest evidence if needed; then mark WS8 done | DEP:2nd USB serial device availability
2026-02-13 20:26 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | no | Runner GitLab credentials updated (runner.env now has non-empty PAT) and runner successfully pushed WS8 commits to GitLab: `runner/runner-agent` `main` advanced `6255908..bbad5d5` (push output captured on runner). WS8 remains blocked only on infra USB passthrough (runner VM still lacks `/dev/serial/by-id`) | infra/operator: pass through >=2 serial devices; runner: rerun inventory + complete local slot mapping and evidence | DEP:infra USB passthrough + DEP:operator LXD permissions (codexsvc not in lxd group)
2026-02-13 14:20 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | replan | yes | Security hygiene: operator pasted GitLab account passwords into a chat transcript; treat them as compromised. Do not use or re-share; rotate passwords and revoke/rotate tokens/sessions as appropriate. WS8 remains blocked on provisioning a runner GitLab PAT in `/home/runner/.config/codex/credentials/gitlab/git.lecsys.net/runner.env` (no secrets in logs) | operator: rotate leaked GitLab passwords; create runner PAT and populate runner.env; rerun WS8 push packet | DEP:operator credential rotation + PAT provisioning
2026-02-13 14:12 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | yes | Took ownership of WS8 closure: removed local role-repo collisions (repos quarantined), added infra blocker packet, and executed runner remote-codex handshake/push gate; runner VM resolves `git.lecsys.net` and produced evidence `/home/runner/workspaces/codex-runner-agent/documentation/evidence/runner_ws8_push_handshake_20260213T141012Z.log`, but push remains blocked because `/home/runner/.config/codex/credentials/gitlab/git.lecsys.net/runner.env` exists with empty `GITLAB_USER`/`GITLAB_PAT`; runner VM still has no `/dev/serial/by-id` (USB passthrough not done). Local runner `main` is now ahead in range `33ef496`..`bbad5d5` | operator: fill runner PAT file (no secrets logged); operator/infra: enable USB passthrough (>=2 serial devices) to runner VM; then rerun `GOAL-001_WS8_runner_handshake_push_packet.md` on runner and `git push origin main` | DEP:operator credentials + DEP:infra USB passthrough (codexsvc not in lxd group)
2026-02-13 13:51 UTC | arch:codex | governance/ownership | arch-local | replan | no | Refined closure contract: `arch:codex` may stop early only when a pivot is required or a problem-solving loop is stalled, and must first record `replan` (pivot) or explicit `blocked` (stall) with concrete next actions and required new information | apply this exception consistently without weakening closure accountability | none
2026-02-13 13:48 UTC | arch:codex | governance/ownership | arch-local | replan | no | Locked ownership closure rule: when `arch:codex` is asked to take ownership, it must drive the task/workstream to successful closure (`done`) or explicit `blocked` with concrete blockers/owners/operator gate/next action; "prepared a packet" is not closure | apply closure rule to GOAL-001/WS8 and future remote-role workstreams | none
2026-02-13 13:30 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | no | Quarantined local non-authoritative role repo clones to prevent collisions: moved `/workspaces/codex-infra-agent` and `/workspaces/codex-runner-agent` into `/workspaces/.quarantine_remote_role_repos/20260213T132921Z/` (also stored tar snapshots); added `GOAL-001_WS8_infra_blockers_packet.md` for infra-scope VM DNS/USB passthrough and tightened runner push-retry packet to avoid unsafe force pushes | delegate infra packet to `infra:codex`, then delegate push unblock/retry to `runner:codex`; once pushed, resume WS8 inventory + slot mapping | none
2026-02-13 13:12 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS12 | arch-local | replan | no | Added new workstream WS12 to evaluate Codex App Server as a structured alternative to SSH transport for remote-role prompting, targeting better parallel multi-step threading and context reuse; current SSH remains bootstrap/break-glass transport | implement WS12: document App Server option and define minimal prototype plan + role boundaries | none
2026-02-13 04:45 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | execute | yes | executor=remote_codex Prompted `runner:codex` on runner VM to implement WS8/HIL-TOPO-001 and attempt push; runner created local commits `33ef496`..`1d1e412` (topology + evidence + coordination) and produced auth diagnostics evidence `/home/runner/workspaces/codex-runner-agent/documentation/evidence/runner_ws8_push_retry_20260213T044210Z.log`, but push remains blocked due to missing non-interactive GitLab credentials on runner VM (`runner.env` absent) and no `/dev/serial/by-id` HUT passthrough yet | operator: provision runner PAT file (`runner.env`) on runner VM; infra: pass through at least 2 USB serial devices; runner: `git push origin main` and re-run inventory to produce real slot mapping | DEP:operator credential provisioning + DEP:infra USB passthrough
2026-02-13 04:28 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS11 | arch-local | replan | no | Added GOAL-001 WS11 to explicitly track long-run grounding of the remote delegation mechanism (credential storage + transport + `executor=remote_codex` prompting) so future tickets can reliably maintain the `arch:codex` <-> `runner:codex` link | implement WS11 by promoting the stable invocation contract into `documentation/agents/` (no secrets) and keeping the short-term version as a working draft | none
2026-02-13 04:09 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | replan | no | Strict boundary enforced: `arch` must not execute/modify runner repo locally; all runner workstreams execute via `runner:codex` on runner VM and report back by commit SHA + evidence; any local `/workspaces/codex-runner-agent` copy is non-authoritative | delegate WS8 packet to `runner:codex` and await runner-side implementation evidence | none
2026-02-13 04:09 UTC | arch:codex | GOAL-001/WS8 | arch-local | delegate | no | executor=remote_codex Delegate WS8 to `runner:codex` using `documentation/short-term/coordination/delegations/GOAL-001_WS8_runner_packet.md` (HIL-TOPO-001: topology + slot mapping + `flock` locks + evidence); commit+push and report commit SHA + evidence paths back to arch | runner: execute delegation packet and append runner-context handoff entry with commit SHA | none
2026-02-12 22:31 UTC | runner:codex | GOAL-001/WS7 | runner-live | execute | no | executor=ssh_direct Runner repo first commit/push completed from runner VM to GitLab `runner/runner-agent` main: `fed6ce9` (docs commit hygiene contract), `6255908` (WS7 evidence + handoff) | proceed to GOAL-001/WS8 by defining HUT topology/labels and evidence/lock strategy in runner repo | none
2026-02-12 22:10 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS7 | arch-local | execute | no | executor=remote_codex Runner-side Codex completed WS7 bootstrap: cloned runner repo to `/home/runner/workspaces/codex-runner-agent`, captured first heartbeat, and wrote a runner smoke report JSON | proceed to GOAL-001/WS8 by defining HUT topology/labels and evidence/lock strategy in runner repo | none
2026-02-12 22:01 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS7 | arch-local | delegate | no | executor=remote_codex Delegated WS7 to `runner:codex`: bootstrap runner workspace under `/home/runner/workspaces/codex-runner-agent`, clone runner repo, capture first heartbeat evidence, and append first runner-context handoff entry | run runner-side codex exec for WS7 bootstrap tasks and return evidence paths + next action | none
2026-02-12 21:42 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS6 | arch-local | execute | yes | executor=ssh_direct Operator confirmed Codex login completed on runner VM; WS6 can be marked done and runner ownership can shift to `runner:codex` for remote execution | start GOAL-001/WS7 from runner repo on the runner VM (first heartbeat + first runner-context handoff entry) | none
2026-02-12 21:34 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS6 | arch-local | execute | yes | executor=ssh_direct Installed Node/npm and `codex-cli` on runner VM `codex-runner-01` and verified `codex --version` runs over SSH; interactive login still required | operator: SSH to runner VM and run `codex login`, then report success so WS6 can be marked done and runner ownership can move to `runner:codex` | DEP:operator interactive login
2026-02-12 21:26 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS4-WS5 | arch-local | execute | no | executor=ssh_direct Completed runner VM provisioning (codex-runner-01) and established non-interactive SSH reachability (LAN IP) with evidence captured under `/workspaces/codex-infra-agent/documentation/evidence/` | proceed to GOAL-001/WS6 runner Codex authentication (operator-assisted) using the now-reachable runner VM | none
2026-02-12 20:45 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS4 | arch-local | execute | yes | Ran infra first-heartbeat discovery on LXD host `192.168.10.201` (evidence log captured) but cannot run `lxc` as `codexsvc` due to LXD unix socket permission denied and lack of sudo | operator: add `codexsvc` to `lxd` group (or grant sudo), re-login/refresh session, then retry `lxc list` and proceed with runner VM provisioning | DEP:operator permission fix on LXD host
2026-02-12 20:26 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS4-delegation | arch-local | delegate | no | Delegated GOAL-001 WS4/WS5 ownership to `infra:agent` and advanced infra role activation to `assigned` (pending first heartbeat) | from `/workspaces/codex-infra-agent`, claim `VM-PROV-001` and produce first heartbeat evidence + runner VM spec/SSH identity | none
2026-02-12 20:19 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/ad-hoc-gitlab-bootstrap | arch-local | execute | no | ticket_id=ADHOC-20260212-03 Created/pushed agent repos to GitLab remotes (`infra/infra-agent`, `runner/runner-agent`) and published bootstrap checkout/verification flow; ADHOC-20260212-03 marked done | continue GOAL-001 by assigning live `infra:<agent-id>` owner and starting WS4 runner VM provisioning with repo bootstrap contract | none
2026-02-12 20:10 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/ad-hoc-credential-contract | arch-local | execute | no | ticket_id=ADHOC-20260212-02 Standardized GitLab credential-home/auth/verification contract for `git.lecsys.net` across AGENTS + short-term governance docs; unblocked follow-on ticket ADHOC-20260212-03 | execute ADHOC-20260212-03 by configuring/pushing infra + runner repos with documented bootstrap checkout flow | none
2026-02-12 20:04 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/ad-hoc-intake | arch-local | replan | yes | ticket_id=ADHOC-20260212-02,ADHOC-20260212-03 Tracked user ad-hoc requests for GitLab credential-home standardization and subsequent repo push/bootstrap flow; linked second item as blocked on credential readiness | await operator credential setup details, then execute ADHOC-20260212-02 followed by ADHOC-20260212-03 | DEP:operator credential setup pending
2026-02-12 18:32 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/governance-ad-hoc | arch-local | replan | no | ticket_id=ADHOC-20260212-01 Added mandatory ad-hoc ticket reflex: agents should suggest ticket tracking on user ad-hoc requests and follow user yes/no decision path across board/template/start-here/AGENTS + queue docs | use ad-hoc queue by default for user-approved tracking requests | none
2026-02-12 18:30 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/governance-replan | arch-local | replan | no | Added formal course-correction protocol for user-driven reprioritization/easier-path/intermediate-quest changes, including trigger examples and required board/goal/handoff updates | apply this protocol when operator requests sequencing/path adjustments, even without hard prerequisites | none
2026-02-12 18:16 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/governance | arch-local | scaffold | no | Added anti-confusion governance controls across board/template/startup docs: role activation state machine, concrete-owner gate for remote `in_progress`, mandatory handoff context/action/operator fields, delegation checklist, and role-prefixed evidence convention | use new handoff format for all future entries and update remote role activation states as owners are assigned | none
2026-02-12 16:55 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS3-correction | Clarification: WS3 completion was performed by `arch:codex` as bootstrap scaffolding (creating the infra repo/governance skeleton), not by a live delegated `infra` session; delegation boundary remains intact | assign `infra:<agent-id>` and start WS4 from infra context | WS4 blocked until infra owner assignment
2026-02-12 16:33 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS3 | Completed WS3 by creating dedicated infra repository at `/workspaces/codex-infra-agent`, initialized git repo, added platform-agnostic `AGENTS.md` with discovery-first startup and hard no-product-repo-clone boundary, and added infra coordination board/handoff files | assign an `infra:<agent-id>` owner and execute GOAL-001 WS4 runner VM provisioning | none
2026-02-12 16:10 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS3-planning | Refactored governance to role-based ownership (`arch`/`infra`/`runner`), expanded GOAL-001 with readiness workstreams (infra bootstrap, runner VM provisioning, SSH, auth, runner bootstrap) before hardware topology, and updated board/template/start-here/ci-lane rules accordingly | execute GOAL-001 WS3 by bootstrapping infra repo + AGENTS/board/handoff; then delegate WS4 to infra role | OPERATOR support needed later for runner Codex auth and optional local GitLab onboarding
2026-02-12 15:26 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS2 | Completed WS2: claimed board ownership, documented v1 layer-aware invocation/report contracts, ran Layer1 smoke via `build-scripts/lxd_remote.sh heartbeat`, and published evidence (`test/build/log/lxd_ws2_smoke_20260212.log`, `test/build/log/lxd_ws2_report_20260212.json`) | claim GOAL-001 WS3 and define runner labels, slot identity mapping, and lock routing | none
2026-02-12 15:25 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS2 | Claimed WS2 on board and added concrete v1 contracts in GOAL-001 for layer responsibility, invocation schema, report schema, guardrail defaults, and minimum puppet-layer repo files | run one WS2 smoke job using the new invocation/report fields and attach resulting log + structured report | none
2026-02-12 15:22 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS2 | Clarified GOAL-001 control model: CI lanes vs puppet layers are orthogonal; added explicit Layer 0/1/2 responsibilities, separate-repo portability target, and Layer 1 AGENT discovery-first/no-codebase-edit constraints in goal doc | claim GOAL-001 WS2 on board and draft concrete remote invocation/report schema + layer-specific AGENT skeletons in infra repos | none
2026-02-12 15:04 UTC | codex | GOAL-001/WS1 | Completed WS1: validated key-based non-interactive SSH to LXD host, added `build-scripts/lxd_remote.sh` wrapper with strict failure semantics, and captured heartbeat evidence in `test/build/log/lxd_ws1_heartbeat_ok_20260212.log` and failure-path evidence in `test/build/log/lxd_ws1_heartbeat_fail_workdir_20260212.log` | claim GOAL-001 WS2 and define remote job invocation/reporting contract | none
2026-02-12 14:49 UTC | codex | GOAL-002 | Marked GOAL-002 as parked after accidental kickoff; all GOAL-002 workstreams set to blocked with GOAL-001 dependency | resume GOAL-002 once GOAL-001 is implemented and LXD backend is available, then restart WS1 inventory | DEP:GOAL-001 backend unavailable
2026-02-12 14:46 UTC | codex | GOAL-002/WS1 | Claimed WS1 and executed slot inventory probe; workspace has no visible serial devices (evidence: test/build/log/hut_slot_inventory_20260212.log) | run inventory probe on hardware-attached LXD HIL host and record `hut-XX` -> `/dev/serial/by-id/...` + platform mapping | no HUT serial devices exposed in current session
2026-02-12 00:00 UTC | codex | GOAL-002/GOAL-003 | Added active goal specs and board workstreams for HUT surfacing and doc lint CI strategy | assign owners and execute WS1 in each goal | none
