Codex registration guidance currently offers generic socket-request, which intentionally has no sandbox allow rule. A native chat can reach the same socket with whoami yet fail to register from a network-disabled sandbox.

Add register --socket … [--name …] [--description …] [--mcp agent-relay-sessions|none]. It constructs only a fixed POST /register request with typed JSON; kernel peer PID/UID discovery and the existing self-registration, ownership and name checks remain authoritative. The generated Codex rule permits only this command on the core's own socket. Generic requests and process, session, target, method, path and raw-body overrides remain excluded.

The startup hook now offers the typed command after user consent. If hosted linking is unavailable or refused, it explicitly keeps the local identity and local commands instead of creating another hosted identity.

Validation:

  • Focused library groups passed: registration (56), session CLI (6), exhaustive route/scope checks (3), Codex hook/policy tests (29), and registration guidance/affinity (7). Groups overlap.
  • Outbound registration and real socket integration: 7 passed, including peer UID/PID, outside-session, fleet-owned, self-registration-disabled and idempotency controls.
  • Codex 0.166.0's actual execpolicy engine allows typed registration on the selected socket and leaves generic requests unallowed.
  • Claude permission tests (8) also pass and explicitly keep typed registration outside Claude's unchanged seven-rule allowlist.
  • Targeted rustfmt, public-source and whitespace checks passed. Tests used isolated temporary state and fake services.

Walkthrough

The CLI adds typed local session registration through POST /register. It validates registration fields and excludes identity fields from the request. Codex sandbox rules allow the typed command on the configured socket. Registration guidance describes local-identity fallback behavior.

Changes: Typed session registration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registration command and request handling
crates/relay-node/src/cli/relay_commands.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/session_cli.rs, crates/relay-node/tests/relay_outbound.rs
Adds the register CLI command and maps it to SessionCommand::Register. The session CLI builds a JSON body from optional name, description, and MCP fields, validates those fields, and sends POST /register. Tests cover request construction and core identity, ownership, and self-registration checks.
Codex sandbox policy and guidance
crates/relay-node/src/cli.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/codex/stop_hook.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/codex/stop_hook/rules.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/outbound/hooks/codex_stop.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/outbound/hooks/codex_stop/affinity.rs, crates/relay-node/src/relay/claude/session_hook/permissions.rs
Updates sandbox tests and policy to allow typed registration on the configured socket without allowing generic socket-request. Registration guidance uses the typed command and specifies local-identity fallback behavior. Claude permission tests continue to exclude register.
Registration documentation and record
crates/relay-node/README.md, CHANGELOG.md, .agentworkforce/trajectories/completed/traj_process_bound_register/trajectory.json
Adds the registration command and its stated constraints to the README and changelog. Adds a completed trajectory record describing the decision and reported test results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

A rabbit types a name with care,
And sends a socket-bound request through air.
No borrowed identity joins the show,
The local checks decide where it can go.
If hosted links refuse to start,
The rabbit keeps its local chart.

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; the latest update keeps Claude's existing permission limits.

Summary

Adds process-bound register with typed fields and a fixed POST /register request.

  • Native sessions can register themselves through a fixed command.
  • Codex’s startup guidance uses the typed command and keeps the local identity.

218-236: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Assert the complete Register option set.

The refusal loop tests only listed flags, each with the value other. A new identity flag can escape the test if it is unlisted or rejects that value during parsing. Assert the complete set of accepted Register options so additions require review.
