📝 Summary

  • Add explicit non-interactive Windows dispatch for Codex SessionStart, post-compaction, and UserPromptSubmit shell hooks.
  • Reuse the existing Bash hook logic through Git-for-Windows bash.exe without invoking git-bash.exe or Mintty.
  • Preserve stdin EOF, Unicode stdout/stderr, child exit status, timeout behavior, and fail-open semantics across Windows console code-page changes.

📂 Changes

File Change
plugin/codex/hooks/hooks.json Route all three remaining .sh hooks through a Windows-specific dispatcher.
plugin/codex/scripts/run-bash-hook.ps1 Discover Git-for-Windows Bash, validate the approved script path, and relay hook stdio without opening Mintty.
plugin/codex_windows_hook_dispatcher_test.go Cover manifest mappings, paths with spaces, EOF, Unicode streams, wait/exit behavior, fail-open cases, and code-page/BOM regression.
plugin/codex/.codex-plugin/plugin.json Bump the Codex plugin version to 0.1.5.
plugin/codex_windows_session_end_test.go Update the expected plugin version.

🧪 Test Plan

  • Unit tests pass locally: go test ./...
  • E2E tests pass locally: go test -tags e2e ./internal/server/...
  • Lint passes locally: make lint
  • Manually tested the affected functionality

Focused verification completed:

  • go test ./plugin -run '^TestCodexWindowsBashHookDispatcher' -count=1 -v
  • go test ./plugin -run '^TestCodexWindows(BashHookDispatcherRuntime|SubagentStopAdapter)$' -count=3 -v
  • go test ./plugin -run '^TestCodexWindows' -count=1
  • PowerShell syntax parse for run-bash-hook.ps1
  • git diff --check
  • Real Orca/Codex smoke test with locally installed Engram plugin 0.1.5: startup SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, and compact SessionStart completed with expected context and no Mintty or residual hook Bash process.

Local broad-suite limitations:

  • go test ./... and the E2E command fail on this Windows host because of existing project-resolution/Git-Bash-path and unrelated plugin-test failures. Relevant failures were reproduced against an exported unmodified HEAD; no candidate-caused broad-suite failure was found.
  • make lint was unavailable because make is not installed.
  • plugin/pi tests were not run because dependencies are not installed. CI is the authoritative clean-environment gate for this draft.

💬 Notes for Reviewers

  • size:exception was explicitly approved for this 442-line cohesive work unit. The dispatcher, manifest mappings, and behavior-focused Windows regression coverage do not have an honest independently useful split below the 400-line budget.
  • The candidate completed a four-lens native review (risk, resilience, readability, and reliability) with approval; remaining advisories were informational only.
  • No Bash hook business logic or output contract was changed. jq availability and the separately reported engram instance-id compatibility concern remain out of scope.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Windows support for additional Codex plugin hooks, enabling Bash scripts to run through PowerShell.
    • Improved Unicode input and output handling for Windows hook execution.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added safeguards for unsupported hooks and unavailable Git Bash installations, allowing hooks to exit cleanly.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Codex plugin version to 0.1.5.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Codex plugin now routes three Windows Bash hooks through a PowerShell dispatcher. The dispatcher validates scripts, finds Git Bash, forwards streams, preserves encoding, and returns hook exit codes. New tests cover configuration, runtime behavior, fail-open handling, and Unicode output.

Changes

Codex Windows hook dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hook wiring and version update
plugin/codex/.codex-plugin/plugin.json, plugin/codex/hooks/hooks.json, plugin/codex_windows_session_end_test.go
The plugin version changes to 0.1.5. SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit receive Windows PowerShell dispatcher commands.
PowerShell Bash dispatcher
plugin/codex/scripts/run-bash-hook.ps1
The dispatcher validates approved hook paths, locates bundled Git Bash, redirects standard streams, uses UTF-8 input encoding, waits for completion, and returns the child exit code. Invalid inputs, missing Bash, and exceptions exit with status 0.
Dispatcher contract and runtime validation
plugin/codex_windows_hook_dispatcher_test.go
Tests verify hook mappings, process configuration, forbidden launch methods, exit-code propagation, working-directory and Unicode stream handling, fail-open behavior, Bash discovery, and console encoding changes.

A timed-out Windows hook is not covered for residual Bash processes. This is a bounded test-coverage gap that should be tracked before relying on timeout behavior in production.

Inline comments:
In `@plugin/codex_windows_hook_dispatcher_test.go`:
- Around line 172-173: Update the test cleanup around
codexWindowsConsoleCodePage and codexSetWindowsConsoleCodePage to capture both
the original input and output console code pages, then restore each
independently during cleanup. Preserve the existing test behavior while ensuring
differing original code pages do not affect later tests.
- Around line 136-143: Add timeout and process-tree coverage to the Windows
dispatcher tests around runCodexWindowsManifestCommand and the blocking hook
fixture: exercise the manifest host-command timeout with a hook that does not
exit, then assert the direct bash.exe process and all descendants have exited,
accounting for the supported job-object or process-tree cleanup contract rather
than relying on powershell.exe termination alone.

In `@plugin/codex/scripts/run-bash-hook.ps1`:
- Line 24: Move git/bash discovery, child-process creation, stream forwarding,
and completion handling out of run-bash-hook.ps1 into a new Go-owned
hook-dispatch API or CLI boundary, following the thin-adapter rules. Add that
boundary because no existing hook-dispatch entry point is available, then reduce
the PowerShell adapter to forwarding its inputs, making one core call, and
forwarding the result.
