fix(agent-setup): stop agent wrappers from resolving to themselves - #9414
The agent wrappers in ~/.paradev/bin can resolve to themselves and recurse forever. find_real_binary skips the wrapper's own bin dir only through the case patterns, and every pattern except getBinDir() is built from $HOME. So the wrapper finds itself again when:
a process runs with a different HOME (test runners and sandboxes routinely set one), or
the bin dir is on PATH under another spelling. After the Superset to Paradev rename, ~/.superset is a symlink to ~/.paradev, and PATH still lists ~/.superset/bin.
In either case REAL_BIN is the wrapper. It runs itself with --enable hooks added, the copy does the same, and so on until the process table is full.
On my machine a single codex --version from a test suite with a temporary HOME grew to about 3,500 processes in under an hour. With a fake HOME, 175 copies spawned within 3 seconds.
The fix adds two checks in find_real_binary, after a candidate passes the executable test:
[ "$dir/$name" -ef "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" ]: skip the running wrapper itself, however its path is spelled (same device and inode).
Skip any file whose first lines carry WRAPPER_MARKER, so another profile's wrapper (~/.paradev-*/bin) is never treated as the real binary either.
The existing case patterns stay as they are.
How I tested it
New test: never resolves to itself when its bin dir is on PATH under another spelling. It reaches the wrapper through a symlinked bin dir with HOME pointing elsewhere. Without the fix it times out at 5 s; with the fix it prints the real binary's output. The test starts the wrapper in its own process group and kills the group on timeout, so a failure can't leak the recursion into the test machine. I checked the process count before and after a failing run.
bun test src/agent-wrappers.test.ts in packages/agent-setup: 96 pass, 0 fail.
bun run typecheck in packages/agent-setup passes, and biome check on both changed files is clean.
I applied the same change by hand to all 16 installed wrappers on macOS and ran each with --version, with my real HOME and with a fake one. None recursed. Tools that are installed printed their version, and the missing ones gave the usual "not found" exit 127.
Not run: the full monorepo bun run lint / bun run test, and Linux.

Summary by cubic
Fixes agent wrappers resolving to themselves and recursing until the process table fills when the wrapper runs with a different HOME or the bin dir is on PATH under another spelling (the ~/.superset symlink to ~/.paradev).
find_real_binary now skips candidates that are the same file as the running wrapper and candidates carrying the managed-wrapper marker.
Adds a regression test that reaches the wrapper through a symlinked bin dir with HOME set elsewhere; it times out on the old behavior and kills the process group.
Written for commit 75fa7b2. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Fixed a case where Copilot could fail to launch its real executable when the wrapper was reached through a symlink and the home directory differed. Copilot now correctly starts the real executable in this setup and displays its output, improving reliability for users whose PATH includes a symlink to the wrapper.
find_real_binary skipped the wrapper's own bin dir only by literal patterns,
most of them built from $HOME. A process with a different HOME (test runners,
sandboxes) or the bin dir reached through another spelling (the ~/.superset ->
~/.paradev symlink) made the wrapper pick itself as the real binary, so it
re-ran itself forever and filled the process table.
Skip any candidate that is the same file as the running wrapper (-ef) or that
carries the managed-wrapper marker. Adds a regression test that reaches the
wrapper through a symlinked bin dir with HOME elsewhere; it times out on the
old resolver and kills its process group so a failure can't leak the chain.

The real-binary resolver now skips the current wrapper and executables marked with WRAPPER_MARKER. A Copilot regression test covers a symlinked wrapper directory on PATH.
Changes: Wrapper binary resolution
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Exclude wrappers during binary resolution packages/agent-setup/src/agent-wrappers-common.ts, packages/agent-setup/src/agent-wrappers.test.ts
The resolver skips the current wrapper and executables whose first three lines contain WRAPPER_MARKER. The regression test symlinks the wrapper directory, places it before the real Copilot binary on PATH, and sets HOME elsewhere. It checks that the wrapper exits successfully and outputs the real binary’s result.
The resolver addresses aliased wrapper paths, but unusually large executable headers can slow startup and the new test can fail intermittently. These are low-risk concerns suitable for localized fixes or bounded follow-up.

If a real CLI has a very long line near its start, head -n 3 can read and pipe the entire script before the CLI starts. This can add startup latency on every launch. Check a bounded prefix that includes the wrapper header instead.

What & why
The agent wrappers in
~/.paradev/bincan resolve to themselves and recurse forever.find_real_binaryskips the wrapper's own bin dir only through thecasepatterns, and every pattern exceptgetBinDir()is built from$HOME. So the wrapper finds itself again when:HOME(test runners and sandboxes routinely set one), orPATHunder another spelling. After the Superset to Paradev rename,~/.supersetis a symlink to~/.paradev, andPATHstill lists~/.superset/bin.In either case
REAL_BINis the wrapper. It runs itself with--enable hooksadded, the copy does the same, and so on until the process table is full.On my machine a single
codex --versionfrom a test suite with a temporaryHOMEgrew to about 3,500 processes in under an hour. With a fakeHOME, 175 copies spawned within 3 seconds.The fix adds two checks in
find_real_binary, after a candidate passes the executable test:[ "$dir/$name" -ef "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" ]: skip the running wrapper itself, however its path is spelled (same device and inode).WRAPPER_MARKER, so another profile's wrapper (~/.paradev-*/bin) is never treated as the real binary either.The existing
casepatterns stay as they are.How I tested it
never resolves to itself when its bin dir is on PATH under another spelling. It reaches the wrapper through a symlinked bin dir withHOMEpointing elsewhere. Without the fix it times out at 5 s; with the fix it prints the real binary's output. The test starts the wrapper in its own process group and kills the group on timeout, so a failure can't leak the recursion into the test machine. I checked the process count before and after a failing run.bun test src/agent-wrappers.test.tsinpackages/agent-setup: 96 pass, 0 fail.bun run typecheckinpackages/agent-setuppasses, andbiome checkon both changed files is clean.--version, with my realHOMEand with a fake one.
