fix(service): launch the systemd unit through the stable ocx executable - #2909
Conversation
A version manager installs OpenCodex into a versioned directory and deletes the old one on upgrade. Both paths baked into the systemd unit - the bundled Bun and the CLI entry - are computed from import.meta.dir and therefore live inside that directory, so after a mise upgrade /bin/sh still starts but "exec <old-bun> <old-cli>" cannot resolve, and Restart=on-failure turns it into a restart loop while systemd still reports the unit as installed. installSystemd now resolves the stable ocx executable lexically from PATH and bakes that instead. A mise/asdf/npm shim survives the upgrade and dispatches to whatever version is current. The resolution is deliberately lexical: resolving the symlink would write the versioned target back into the unit and recreate the bug. Only an absolute path is accepted, so the unit never re-resolves a bare name through PATH at restart. Source checkouts with no launcher keep the previous direct Bun + CLI form. OCX_BUN_RUNTIME_PATH and OCX_BUN_RUNTIME_SOURCE are omitted in launcher mode - stamping them would pin the runtime to the directory the upgrade deletes, which is the defect. The #848 provenance invariant still holds where the pair is actually baked, and the test now asserts both modes explicitly. ServiceInstallState records launcherPath, and bakedServicePathsDiagnostic judges staleness against the launcher when one is present. Without that, a healthy service was reported STALE after every upgrade, since the recorded pair pointed into the replaced directory. State files lacking the field are unaffected. The launcher and the state are resolved once and shared, so the diagnostic can never validate a path the unit does not run.

리뷰 · 우선순위 68 / 80이 PR은 이슈 #2898을 닫으려는 리눅스 systemd 설치 고침이다. 지금 문제의 핵심을 쉽게 말하면 이렇다. 이 PR이 하는 일은 세 갈래다. 첫째, 테스트도 맞춰 두었다. launcher 유닛에 버전 경로가 안 들어가는지, 심을 v1→v2로 돌리고 v1을 지운 뒤에도 명령이 살아 있는지, launcher 설치의 staleness가 버전 폴더가 아니라 launcher 부재로만 뜨는지. #848 provenance 테스트는 “쌍을 굽는 모드”와 “launcher 모드”를 둘 다 검사하도록 바꿨다. 문서( 라인 / 심볼 이슈: src/service.ts stableLauncherEntry - existsSync만 본다. 같은 이름 디렉터리이거나 실행 비트가 없는 파일이어도 통과한다. isFile + 실행 가능 여부 검사가 없으면 잘못된 후보를 구울 수 있다. src/service.ts buildUnit 기본값 - deps.launcher를 안 넘기면 실제 PATH를 스캔한다. 기존 테스트 상당수가 아직 맨 buildUnit()을 쓴다. CI나 개발자 PATH에 ocx가 있으면 launcher 모드로 바뀌어, 직접 Bun+CLI를 가정한 단언이 흔들릴 수 있다. 직접 모드를 검증하는 곳은 { launcher: null }을 명시하는 편이 안전하다 (이번 PR이 #848 쪽만 고친 상태). src/service.ts stableLauncherEntry PATH 순서 - PATH 앞쪽의 다른 ocx(깨진 심, 수동 복사본)가 mise/asdf 심보다 먼저면 그게 구워진다. 의도는 맞지만, 설치 직후 어떤 절대경로가 선택됐는지 사용자에게 한 줄 보여 주면 디버깅이 쉽다. docs lifecycle.md / 본문 - 기존 유닛은 self-migrate가 안 되고 repair 한 번이 필요하다. 맞다. 다만 “업그레이드만 하면 끝”으로 읽는 사람이 있을 수 있으니, repair가 필요한 조건(이 픽스 이전에 깔린 유닛)을 릴리즈 노트에도 짧게 반복할 가치가 있다. 메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

When a Linux service install or repair is run through the npm launcher with OPENCODEX_BUN_PATH, cliEntry() sees the trusted runtime marker as an override, but this launcher branch emits neither that marker pair nor OPENCODEX_BUN_PATH. Because systemd does not inherit the installing shell, the stable Node launcher subsequently sees no override and selects bundled Bun, contrary to the documented contract that same-shell ocx service repair bakes the override into the durable service definition. Carry the trusted override selection into the launcher invocation without pinning a package-local bundled runtime.

If an earlier absolute PATH directory contains a non-executable file or directory named ocx, this existence-only check records it as the launcher even though command lookup cannot execute it. The installation then reports success, but systemd receives EACCES/EISDIR and restart-loops; bakedServicePathsDiagnostic() also reports the service healthy while that path continues to exist. Verify that each candidate is a regular executable, for example with statSync and accessSync(..., X_OK), before selecting it or continuing to a later entry.

Select an executable file before returning the launcher.
At src/service.ts:96, exists resolves to existsSync, which accepts directories and non-executable files. An invalid earlier PATH/ocx entry stops stableLauncherEntry() from scanning later entries. installSystemd() passes that path to buildUnit() and records it as the launcher, so ExecStart can fail even when a later executable launcher exists.
Require a regular executable file before returning the candidate. Continue scanning otherwise. Add a focused regression test for this PATH order.

Avoid shell parsing in the launcher test
If tmpdir() contains spaces or shell metacharacters, both execSync(... sh -c ...) calls split shim before execution. The generated shim also embeds the versioned target without shell quoting, so direct execution alone does not cover such paths.
Use execFileSync(shim, ["start", "--port", "1"], { encoding: "utf8" }) for both assertions, and quote the embedded v1/ocx and v2/ocx paths in the generated shim scripts.

Requesting changes on exact head ba63b4605f2fdca8b9fc4e91fac6f13e9f6baa56.
The stable lexical launcher is the right direction for #2898, and the current merge tree against dev is clean, but two runtime contracts still block this head:
- Launcher-mode units drop the trusted
OPENCODEX_BUN_PATHselection. Because systemd does not inherit the repair/install shell, the later stable launcher resolves bundled Bun instead of the explicitly selected runtime. Preserve the override durably without stamping a package-local bundled path, and cover install/repair plus generated-unit behavior. stableLauncherEntryaccepts any existingPATH/ocx, including a directory or non-executable file, then records it as healthy and creates a restart loop. Require a regular executable and continue scanning later PATH entries, with an invalid-first/valid-second regression.
Please also make the retargeted-shim test exercise the launcher with execFileSync/argument arrays and quote the generated shim target. Its current sh -c construction is path-sensitive and does not prove the contract when the temporary path contains spaces or shell metacharacters.
The exact-head CI being green does not cover these negative paths. Please update the head, resolve the current review threads, and rerun the focused service, Linux systemd, privacy, typecheck, and cross-platform gates; I will re-review the new exact head.

Summary
Closes #2898.
A version manager installs OpenCodex into a versioned directory and deletes the old one on
upgrade. Both paths baked into the systemd unit — the bundled Bun and the CLI entry — are
computed from
import.meta.dir, so both live inside that directory. After amiseupgrade/bin/shstill starts, butexec <old-bun> <old-cli>cannot resolve, andRestart=on-failureturns that into a restart loop while
systemctlstill reports the unit as installed. Nothing inthe start path notices:
startSystemdchecks unit existence and daemon-reload state, neverwhether the launch paths still exist.
installSystemdnow resolves the stableocxexecutable lexically fromPATHand bakes that.A mise/asdf/npm shim survives the upgrade and dispatches to whatever version is current.
Three decisions worth naming:
realpathon the shim would write the versioned target backinto the unit and recreate the bug. The indirection is the whole point.
ocxinExecStartwould be re-resolved throughPATHon everyrestart, turning a service definition into a PATH-hijacking surface. One validated absolute file
is fixed at install time.
OCX_BUN_RUNTIME_PATH/_SOURCEare omitted, becausestamping them pins the runtime to the directory the upgrade deletes. The launcher resolves the
current package's Bun itself.
Source checkouts with no
ocxlauncher keep the previous direct Bun + CLI form.ServiceInstallStaterecordslauncherPath, andbakedServicePathsDiagnosticjudges stalenessagainst the launcher when one is present. Without that half, a healthy service is reported
STALEafter every upgrade, since the recorded pair points into the replaced directory — themutation below reproduces exactly that. State files lacking the field behave as before.
The launcher is resolved once and shared by the unit and the state write, so the diagnostic can
never validate a path the unit does not run.
Two pre-existing tests changed, both deliberately
so it asserts both modes: the pair is stamped where it is baked, and absent where a launcher
replaces it. The invariant is unchanged; only its scope is stated.
buildUnit()literally and now matches the call prefix, sincebuildUnittakes the resolved launcher. It additionally pins that the launcher is resolved once,before the write, and reused for the state.
Verification
Mutation ledger — each new test fails only for its own reverted line:
ExecStartalways bakes the direct pairlauncherPathThe staleness mutation reproduces the user-visible symptom precisely: a healthy launcher install
reported
STALE baked paths (missing: .../installs/2.35.0/bun, .../installs/2.35.0/cli/index.ts).The retargeted-shim test executes the scenario rather than asserting it: a real shim is pointed at
v1, invoked, retargeted to v2, v1 is deleted, and it is invoked again — proving the launcher still
reaches live code after the version directory is gone.
Not verified: no real systemd host was exercised. All systemd assertions are against generated
unit text and temp directories; no live unit on any machine was modified. Existing units cannot
self-migrate once their old executable is deleted, so they need one
