rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1534-codex-project-canonical-routing

Routed this local Codex workspace toward the existing canonical rdmsm4x project and sent a provenance-preserving inheritance handoff so future work starts from the durable project estate.

Scope

• Source host: rdmbair15m5
• Destination host: rdmsm4x
• Current source task: 01a05427-6413-7f12-b201-db59b3a97e45
• Local scratch saved project: dev-agy-rdmbair15m5 (d81416c9-8061-4b7a-9a94-86d2e17afaf7), /Users/richh/dev
• Canonical remote saved project: dev (093d40b0-6b15-4bbe-a261-94fe310e7f62), rdmsm4x:/Users/richh/dev

Changes

• Sent fleet-bus handoff 20260830-153319-361C624D from codex@rdmbair15m5 to codex@rdmsm4x with the canonical project IDs, task provenance, verification evidence, exclusions, and explicit receipt/acceptance requirements.
• Synchronized the mailbox across the fleet and verified the immutable handoff file exists on rdmsm4x.
• Created Codex sidebar section Scratch · rdmbair15m5 (b46dfa2f-7948-466c-aa3b-6693ea6544a4).
• Moved only the local scratch project dev-agy-rdmbair15m5 into that section.
• Left the existing canonical remote dev project pinned; no project source path, task database, session database, provider history, credential, cookie, approval, or Git directory was copied or edited.
• Ran the fleet Notes helper, which filed its current normalized llmlog copy, then explicitly created the policy-required note in the rdmbair15m5 iCloud Notes folder with the exact host-scoped title after read-back showed the helper now uses a different global-folder convention.

Files touched

• /Users/richh/.agent-coordination/mail/20260830-153319-361C624D__from-codex-rdmbair15m5__to-codex-rdmsm4x__codex-project-estate-inheritance-20260830.md (immutable relay message, synchronized to fleet mailboxes)
• /Users/richh/dev/LLM/Claude/changelogs/rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1534-codex-project-canonical-routing.md (this archive copy)
• Codex app sidebar metadata through supported app APIs: new scratch section and project placement
• Apple Notes iCloud entries: the helper-generated normalized llmlog entry and rdmbair15m5/rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1534-codex-project-canonical-routing

Commands and app actions

• Resolved host identity with scutil --get ComputerName.
• Inspected the Codex saved-project and sidebar registries through supported read-only app APIs.
• Verified rdmsm4x by SSH using a login shell and checked the canonical dev root plus both project indexes.
• Sent and synchronized the relay with ~/.agent-coordination/agent_msg.zsh.
• Created the scratch sidebar section and moved the local saved project through supported Codex project-organization APIs.
• Filed the changelog through ~/scripts/notes_changelog.zsh, inspected the helper after its destination differed from the current rule, and used an idempotent AppleScript write to create the required host-folder note without deleting the helper copy.

Verification evidence

• Local host observed as rdmbair15m5; remote invocation observed as rdmsm4x.
• rdmsm4x:/Users/richh/dev, rdmsm4x:/Users/richh/dev/PROJECTS.md, and the iCloud operating PROJECTS.md were present.
• Codex registry observed 48 projects: 28 remote entries on rdmsm4x, 16 local entries, and 4 ChatGPT projects.
• Remote mailbox verification returned REMOTE_RECEIPT_FILE_PRESENT for handoff 20260830-153319-361C624D.
• Sidebar read-back showed canonical remote project 093d40b0-6b15-4bbe-a261-94fe310e7f62 in Pinned and local scratch project d81416c9-8061-4b7a-9a94-86d2e17afaf7 in Scratch · rdmbair15m5.
• Apple Notes returned rdmbair15m5/rdmbair15m5-changelog-20260830-1534-codex-project-canonical-routing from the explicit iCloud write.

Backup and undo

• No project files were overwritten, so no content backup was required.
• Undo sidebar organization by moving project d81416c9-8061-4b7a-9a94-86d2e17afaf7 back to the default Projects section and deleting section b46dfa2f-7948-466c-aa3b-6693ea6544a4 after it is empty.
• The immutable relay message should be superseded by a follow-up message if its routing intent changes; do not delete or rewrite it.

Outstanding actions

• codex@rdmsm4x still needs to reply RECEIVED, then ACCEPTED after a bounded live inventory. Delivery alone is not acceptance or complete inheritance.
• The supported Codex API cannot retarget this already-running local task to another host. Continue future work by opening the pinned remote dev project, or by selecting the matching per-product rdmsm4x project.
• Any scratch-only project artifact discovered later requires its own one-writer, provenance-preserving promotion; no bulk copy was performed here.
