An advertised adapter name selected a command shape and, by omission, authorized acting on a session a native UI may be in. DEC-017 makes the authority a point — adapter, capability, exact reported version, host OS and architecture — so one real-CLI proof admits exactly what it proved. The host states the machine as a value beside the coordinator, route store and observer, so shared provider and session assembly never detects the runtime it happens to be on.
A native launch acknowledged ownership quiescence whenever `stop()` on its scope succeeded. A launch that completed naturally tore itself down first, so a finalizer that failed on the way reached the owner as a crash while `stop()` afterwards succeeded against an already-settled scope — proof that the scope is settled now, never that the cleanup which failed had succeeded. The session was released idle with an unproved child behind it. The invocation now suspends once the native child settles, so the one teardown there is happens under the one call that reports it. Quiescence is still withheld unless the child settled, every finalizer of that invocation completed, and the provider holds no handle; otherwise the exclusion is released with the record left active, and the next acquisition is refused as session-recovery-required before any spawn, ensure, allocation or route work. The original cleanup failure is what the launch caller observes.
An exact-version compatibility point admitted a capability from the release string an executable happened to print. That is the wrong evidence twice: a release name says nothing about which operations a build declares, and pinning one refuses every later build that declares the same shape. Admission is now four exact facts — the adapter's own versioned protocol, the capability being asked for, the profile its observer returned, and the host's platform and architecture. An Agent registry name or a launcher command admits nothing. The two Claude capabilities are read independently, so neither is ever inferred from the other having been proved. The host-owned observer is generalized: it resolves and canonicalizes the launcher, requires an executable regular file, hashes it once, and asks that same exact path whatever read-only queries the adapter declared, returning settled status and captured output. It knows no provider and parses nothing. Reading Claude's `--help` structurally — caller-supplied identity, exact resume, private-file instructions — stays in the adapter, so additive options, prose and wrapping do not change the answer. Version becomes optional evidence beside the digest rather than a gate. A build that will not name its release, names it in words this adapter does not recognize, or names several is bound by its bytes alone. Build equality is asymmetric: the digest decides, a retained release is a claim the live build must still make, and a record that named none is not rewritten when one appears.
The help probe read flag spellings. `--session-id <name>`, `--resume <url>` and `--system-prompt-file <text>` all satisfied it, so a build that accepts the spelling and means something else by it was admitted for native launch — and the launch would then hand a UUID to an option that takes a name. Each declaration is now parsed into its spellings, its value placeholder, whether that value is required, and its own description. Chosen identity needs the sole `--session-id` to require a UUID. Exact resume needs the sole `--resume` to name session identity, either in its placeholder or, for the uncommitted `[value]` spelling Claude ships today, in that entry's own words. Private instructions need a file-valued `--system-prompt-file`, or the `--system-prompt[-file]` family spelling inside a parsed entry. Product is read from dedicated unindented lines, so a compatibility claim or a quoted usage example no longer says what this executable is. Two entries declaring one spelling is unreadable, not a choice between them.
Three surfaces that say the opposite of the contract were admitted by it. `Resume a conversation by URL; session ID is not supported` contained both words the read looked for. `Inline text; file paths are not supported` was accepted from a description while its argument was `<text>`. `Claude Code compatibility wrapper` began a line with the product name. Prose is now read one clause at a time, and a clause that withdraws what it states admits nothing: a sentence states one thing, and its neighbours are not it. A generic `[value]` resume needs the phrase saying the argument is what the conversation is named by, not two words scattered through it. The private instruction file is decided by the argument alone, since a description explains a value rather than changing it. A product line names its subject and then describes it, so words running on into a longer name have named something else. The 2.1.241 and 2.1.263 surfaces, additive options, wrapping and unrelated prose are unchanged, and no version is consulted.
A route's `ExecutableBuildBindingV1` was a release lock: every continuation held the live observation against the retained one, so upgrading Claude stranded every session the previous build had opened. It is now immutable audit evidence — written once at first publication, never rewritten, and never compared with a live build. What authorizes acting on an existing session is what the installed executable independently proves: the route's stable adapter protocol, the capability the work needs, the shape its own probe recognizes, and this host. Which build accepted the identity first is history, and history is not a capability. Removes the four live-vs-retained comparisons (attachment, native resume, concurrent winner, replay) and the `buildDrift` helper they shared. The one remaining comparison stays: a route and its prepared journal are two durable accounts of a single observation, so a difference between them is still a replay that cannot say which session it is resuming. Tier XR takes a 2.1.261 session to a 2.1.263 build across native resume, ACP attachment, prepared-only replay, detached replay, a concurrently published winner, and a build reporting no release — each asserting the exact retained identity, unchanged audit evidence, no allocation or republication, and the live executable's own path. XR7 and XR8 hold the fail-closed boundary that a release change is not a protocol change.
A V2 construction route fixes the stable protocol its identity was published under through its provider, agent and launcher contract. Continuation read that protocol off whatever adapter happened to be registered under the launcher instead, so an adapter declaring another protocol — beside a host policy that had proved exactly that protocol, for that capability, in that shape, on this machine — could adopt a session it never constructed. ACP attachment also never held the route's retained launcher to the live adapter at all. The pin is compiled in and reachable through no host-supplied dependency, and it is asked before the executable is observed: which conversation this is was never a question about a build. Native resume, ACP attachment, concurrent-winner adoption and both incomplete replay phases now require the live adapter's launcher and protocol to be the ones the retained contract names, and the independent admission of the current executable's capability, shape and host follows it. A refusal observes nothing, allocates nothing, launches, ensures, prompts and constructs nothing, and leaves the route and the journal exactly as their first publication left them. Executable bindings stay what they became: immutable audit evidence, and a cross-check between two durable accounts of one observation — never a live same-build gate. The source contracts that still described them as one are reconciled. Evidence: XR9 takes an injected adapter speaking another protocol, with the host policy admitting that protocol, through native continuation, ACP attachment, both replay phases and concurrent-winner adoption, and asserts the executable is never even observed. XR10 refuses an attachment whose retained launcher is not the live adapter's. Planting each seam's absence back one at a time fails only that seam's case, and reading the pin off the adapter fails both cases and nothing else.
An empty route read settles nothing: a concurrent publication is only revealed by publishing. Until now a run whose read found no route fell straight through to observing the executable, allocating an identity and writing a candidate, and asked whether it could account for the protocol only after meeting the winner — having already acted on behalf of a session it was never entitled to construct. The pin is now asked twice from one reading. Prospectively, before any observation or allocation, against the live adapter's launcher; and again of the record that actually won, whose route may differ from the candidate's. The legacy V1 path is untouched. Reconcile the remaining same-build continuation wording across the touched source set. A retained binding is immutable audit evidence and is only ever held to the prepared journal derived from the same observation, never to a build installed later.
`packages/terminal` is created by this stack's extraction commit, which was authored while the repository pinned `@effectionx/node` 0.2.4. Main has since moved to 0.2.5 (#748). A file a commit creates conflicts with nothing, so the rebase carried the stale pin forward beside a root that now asks for 0.2.5, and `deno task setup` refused: the frozen lockfile carries no `npm:@effectionx/node@0.2.4` specifier for a workspace member to resolve through. The pin now matches the one every other package and the root already use. The 0.2.4 entries that remain in `deno.lock` are `@effectionx/process@0.8.1`'s own transitive dependency, and they are present on main unchanged. No other dependency version moves.
Three call sites this stack added kept compiling against surfaces main has since changed. Each pair of edits touched different lines, so the rebase merged both sides without a conflict and the mismatch only surfaced under `deno check`. `xmd plan` used to settle a whole agent stack through a local three-argument helper. Main replaced that with the authorship-only resolver, which takes two arguments because the command starts no program, so the terminal-grid installer this stack threaded through no longer has a parameter to occupy. `xmd run` is unchanged and still installs it: the installer reaches `installRunAgentStack` through `resolveAgentStack`, which is the one path with a terminal to give away. The syntax suite's two terminal-grid rows still named `syntaxCatalog` and the local `parseCatalog`, which main renamed to `syntaxSymbols` and `parseSymbols`. Only the names move; both rows assert the same origins, authored forms, descriptions and reserved-name exclusions they always did. The launcher suite imported `reap` from the provider-neutral contract after this stack split the module in two. `reap` ends a POSIX child, so it comes from `posix-launcher.ts` beside `installForegroundLauncher`, and the contract import keeps only what a consumer that never reaches a process needs.
The rebase reintroduced fourteen listeners the ownership rule refuses: a raw `once()` in the POSIX launcher's spawned callback, subscriptions whose `ensure()` was yielded after them — itself a suspension an owner can be halted in — removals hidden behind a helper the pairing cannot be read from, a self-removing socket handler a cancelled scope never reaches, and three process signals registered under a computed name. Every one of them now names its receiver, event and handler on both sides, with the removal established before the subscription or held by a `finally` around it. The launcher keeps its inline exit/error race, its complete reap and a spawned callback that fires exactly once: the handler comes off when the start arrives and again on every way out, so a cancelled or failed launch publishes no readiness at all. `usePaneChannels` remembers each accepted socket with the handler it carries and detaches every one of them at teardown, including a socket that closed on its own. FL10 reads the child's own listener counts after delivery, after a startup failure and after cancellation, then replays `spawn` on it: restore the raw `once()` and the row fails. TW14 already held the tmux half, and fails if the new channel detach is removed. Terminal-grid TG3 expects the catalog version main's Syntax v2 migration publishes.

Include the extracted terminal package in SYN47's explicit published payload closure and assert its lifecycle subpath resolves to the staged file. Production manifests already declare the dependency; preserve canonical workspace imports and the no-reexport package boundary.
Normalize Linux ps's no-terminal spelling to the existing process-interface marker without changing real device names or holder proofs. Declare the extracted terminal packages only in the private root test host, keeping provider dependencies out of the neutral domain. Freeze both boundaries with regressions; regenerate the two pnpm workspace links through setup.
Run the native-grid TestAgent harness through a focused subprocess entry that installs the compiler and invokes the real worker. Keep ACPX, controller transport, scenarios, journal, lifecycle, public CLI dispatch coverage, and the 20-second document deadlines intact. Require the GN2 journey to complete successfully as well as checking retained identity.

Closes #755. Stacked on the final #717 Grid/Pane infrastructure in #771.
Why
XMD knew the
codex resume <identity>command shape but could not safely advertise Codex for<Session.Launch>. It had not established that the identity returned by the ACP adapter names the exact conversation resumed by the native Codex UI.What changes
Codex becomes a supported native-launch product beside Claude, both at the root and inside a grid pane:
A new Codex conversation receives one announced, fixed, tool-free
codex-materialization.v1turn. The authored instructions remain the first native user task. XMD then releases ACP ownership and openscodex resume <exact-provider-identity>in the selected terminal.Identity and continuation contract
--last.session-route.v3and the launch journal retain matching accounts of the original executable observation.Grid composition
Distinct Claude and Codex panes launch concurrently through their selected pane workers. The root foreground launcher is not entered, and no pane identity enters Agent requests, session keys, routes, durable phases, or diagnostics. Cancellation waits for native settlement and pane quiescence.
#781 renamed the final surface and packages to
<Grid>/<Pane>,@executablemd/grid, and@executablemd/grid-tmux. This PR retains only Codex certification as its purpose; rebasing onto the current #771 head must preserve the accepted Grid/Pane names without changing the identity contract above.Review and evidence
Start with DEC-018, Codex native-launch preparation,
session-route.v3, and provider-native continuation. Then inspect the mixed Claude/Codex grid evidence and vendored adapter/ACPX provenance.The focused suites cover adapter protocol and vendor provenance, native launch and routes, provider continuation, core launch journals, live ACP reconnect, pane-native routing, mixed-grid execution, and changed-release continuation. The opt-in real-provider documents remain frozen evidence because they spend account model turns.
The delivery head has passed the Deno, Node, and Bun matrices, package publication checks, build and smoke checks, and the clean composability proof. The independently tracked intermittent Bun resolver failure remains #778.
Scope
Included: Codex advertisement, provider-returned identity, one-turn materialization, V3 routes, native and ACP continuation, replay, cross-compatible-release admission, terminal notification, and mixed-grid evidence.
Excluded: Claude identity behavior, new grid lifecycle or tmux mechanics, transcript capture,
<Session.Launch>result capture, and additional working directories.The admitted real-provider host envelope is macOS arm64. Other host pairs refuse until independently proved.
