When daemon restarts, SESSION_HISTORY is lost because it's an in-memory Map. This fix adds disk-based timeline loading from Codex rollout files. Changes: - Add loadPersistedHistoryFromDisk() method to load from rollout files - Add helper functions for finding and parsing rollout JSONL files - Call disk loading in connect() when resumeHandle exists but SESSION_HISTORY is empty - Add E2E test for timeline persistence across daemon restart The rollout files are stored at ~/.codex/sessions/<date>/rollout-*.jsonl and contain JSONL entries with response_item and event_msg types. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Plan
Context
Build a new Codex MCP provider side‑by‑side with the existing Codex SDK provider. The new provider lives in packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/codex-mcp-agent.ts and is selected via a new provider id (e.g. codex-mcp). All testing is E2E only (no mocks/fakes). Use /Users/moboudra/dev/voice-dev/.tmp/happy-cli/src/codex/ as reference for MCP + elicitation.
CRITICAL RULES - READ BEFORE EVERY TASK
-
NO VAGUE REPORTS: Never say "test hung", "was interrupted", "failed locally" without:
- The EXACT error message or stack trace
- The SPECIFIC line of code causing the issue
- A concrete hypothesis for the root cause
-
NO SKIPPING/DISABLING TESTS: Skipping tests, adding
.skip, or "opt-in gating" is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Fix the actual problem. If a test hangs, find out WHY and fix the code, not the test. -
NO WORKAROUNDS: Adding timeouts, fallbacks, or "defensive" code that hides bugs is forbidden. The code must work correctly, not appear to work.
-
INVESTIGATE DEEPLY: When something fails:
- Read the actual source code
- Add debug logging if needed
- Trace the exact execution path
- Find the ROOT CAUSE, not symptoms
-
BE SPECIFIC: Every "Done" entry must include:
- What the actual problem was (specific)
- What code was changed (file:line)
- How you verified it works
Completed Work (Compacted)
Codex MCP Provider (2025-12-24)
- ✅ Created
codex-mcp-agent.tswith MCP stdio client, event mapping, permissions, persistence, abort handling - ✅ Fixed model availability (removed hardcoded gpt-4.1), permission elicitation, exit code handling
- ✅ Fixed thread/item event mapping for file_change, mcp_tool_call, web_search, todo_list
- ✅ Fixed persistence to include conversationId metadata
- ✅ Resolved Codex MCP vs Codex SDK elicitation parity (CRITICAL FINDING:
codex execignores approval events) - ✅ All 14 Codex MCP unit tests pass; Codex is now the only provider (deprecated SDK provider removed)
- Reports:
CODEX_MCP_MISMATCH_REPORT.md,REPORT-codex-mcp-audit.md
UI/UX Fixes (2025-12-25)
- ✅ Removed duplicate "Codex MCP" option - now shows only "Codex"
- ✅ Fixed duplicate user/assistant messages (provider was emitting, but agent-manager already dispatches)
- ✅ Fixed Codex agent-control MCP parity with Claude (added MCP servers to Codex config)
- ✅ Fixed agent timestamp not updating on click without interaction
DaemonClient Implementation (2025-12-25)
- ✅ Created
packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-client.ts(~550 lines) - ✅ Created
packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-test-context.ts - ✅ Created
packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts(25 passing tests) - Reports:
REPORT-daemon-client-design.md,REPORT-daemon-e2e-audit.md,REPORT-claude-permission-tests.md
DaemonClient API:
- Connection:
connect(),close() - Agent lifecycle:
createAgent(),deleteAgent(),listAgents(),listPersistedAgents(),resumeAgent() - Agent interaction:
sendMessage(),cancelAgent(),setAgentMode(),initializeAgent(),clearAgentAttention() - Permissions:
respondToPermission(),waitForPermission() - Git:
getGitDiff(),getGitRepoInfo() - Files:
exploreFileSystem() - Models:
listProviderModels() - Waiting:
waitForAgentIdle() - Events:
on(),getMessageQueue(),clearMessageQueue()
E2E Test Coverage:
- Basic flow (Codex + Claude): create agent, send message, verify response
- Permissions (Codex + Claude): approve/deny, permission_requested/resolved cycle
- Persistence: delete agent, resume from handle, verify conversation context
- Multi-agent: parent creates child via agent-control MCP
- Agent management: cancelAgent, setAgentMode, listAgents
- Timestamp: verify clicking agent doesn't update timestamp
- Git: diff (staged/unstaged/modified), repo info (branch, dirty state)
- Files: list directory, read file content
- Models: list Codex and Claude provider models
- Images: single and multiple image attachments to Claude

BUG: Codex MCP agent returns 0 timeline events after daemon restart.
- Done (2025-12-25 19:13): Fixed by implementing disk-based timeline history loading in
codex-mcp-agent.ts.
WHAT: Added rollout file parsing to load persisted timeline from
~/.codex/sessions/whenSESSION_HISTORYis empty after daemon restart.CHANGES:
codex-mcp-agent.ts:2-6: Added imports forfs,Dirent,os,pathcodex-mcp-agent.ts:2521: AddedresumeHandlefield to store handle for async loadingcodex-mcp-agent.ts:2530: SaveresumeHandlein constructorcodex-mcp-agent.ts:2592-2596: Load history from disk inconnect()whenpersistedHistory.length === 0codex-mcp-agent.ts:2616-2628: NewloadPersistedHistoryFromDisk()methodcodex-mcp-agent.ts:3919-4181: New helper functions:resolveCodexSessionRoot(),findRolloutFile(),parseRolloutFile(),loadCodexPersistedTimeline(), plus rollout entry parsing functions
TEST ADDED:
daemon.e2e.test.ts:1638-1757: New test "Codex agent timeline survives daemon restart" that verifies timeline is preserved viaagent_stream_snapshotmessage after resume
RESULT: E2E test passes, typecheck passes. Timeline items are loaded from rollout files when resuming an agent after daemon restart.
