Nested, the flag is the + only way past the second-Seatbelt wall and the outer profile still + confines the child; non-nested (Claude-species worker on the host) the + flag would be a real, unjustified widening, so the engine runs under + codex's default sandbox. +- Multi-line criteria pass through `"$(cat )"` into the + `developer_instructions` config value (multi-line handling is a + front-loaded verification task in the plan). +- Exits with codex's rc; the findings file is the engine's output. + +Both species call the same file: the codex worker nested, the +`engine:claude` opt-out worker non-nested. "Reviewer is codex-only" is +literally one script. + +### 2. Engine block and fallback rewrite + +- `references/engine-blocks/engine-codex-review.md`: drop the in-thread + instruction, the cookbook form, and the "codex-in-codex is structurally + broken" prose. New shape: write the criteria file (correctness + discipline + ticket acceptance pasted from the brief; ticket "none" → + correctness only), run `{{REVIEW_ENGINE}}`, read the findings file. The + work-alone rule gets a one-line carve-out: the engine call is a tool + invocation, not a nested agent (the same status the cookbook form had). +- The two fallback blocks merge into ONE (`fallback-engine.md`): the + Claude-reviewer-subagent fallback is deleted; both species behave + identically on engine failure (see §3). `review-dispatch.sh` loses the + per-species fallback branch and gains the `{{REVIEW_ENGINE}}` + placeholder (absolute path to the script, resolved from `SKILL_DIR` like + `BOARD_SCRIPTS`). + +### 3. Engine down → ticket stays `in-review`, sweep retries + +When the engine call fails (missing CLI, auth failure, or repeated API +errors after 2 retries with a short backoff): + +- The worker posts the review-trail comment ("engine unavailable: + "), touches **no** board state (the ticket remains `in-review`), + and ends its turn with a final message whose last line is the + machine-readable marker `ENGINE-UNAVAILABLE`. +- The sweep gains one dedupe-table row: a **finished** registry entry + whose reply contains the `ENGINE-UNAVAILABLE` marker is retired and the + PR re-dispatched. Recovery is automatic on the first sweep (~30 min) + after the CLI is healthy again — no human decision manufactured, no + `in-review` limbo that nobody ever returns to. +- `needs-human` is never written by this path: that state is reserved for + open questions/scoping/real-world input, which an infra outage is not. + +### 4. Substrate — one export + +`_codex_launch` (orchestrating-daemons `_codex_lib.sh`) exports +`CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH=$HOME/.local/bin/codex-code-mode-host` when +unset and the binary exists — beside the existing `SSL_CERT_FILE` export, +same only-if-unset pattern.
