Fixes 18 of 27 adversarially-confirmed bugs from the scx-deep-bughunt workflow (34 agents). All 8 HIGH + 7 MED + 3 LOW. Full tick-off in docs/SCX-BUGHUNT-FIXES-5231.md.

Verified

  • Extension rebuilds clean (esbuild, v0.1.27)
  • Shim test suite 6/6
  • Every edited PowerShell + Python file parses

Highlights

  • extension: switchKey was dead in the panel + corrupted the key set on rotation; a failed send left an orphaned user turn that bricked the chat ("roles must alternate"); temperature now clamped to [0,2].
  • codex wrapper: propagate KRIT_SHIM_* + SCX_API_KEY to the shim child; teardown now kills the exact launched PID (was killing whoever owned :4199).
  • shim: retry telemetry reflects the dropped-tools payload; a failed retry returns cleanly instead of streaming an opaque error.
  • litellm/safety/install: read-only $pid renamed; port-kill identity checks; "litellm installed" status now actually imports litellm; banner concat fix.
  • lens ingest: real byte-exact storage + a genuine byte-level reassembly proof (was lossy utf-8/replace on both sides, so the proof always passed).
  • mux: per-stream error isolation — one HTTPError no longer discards every successful stream.

Deferred (tracked in the ledger)

codex-wrapper/pack/* (owned by the live compile sessions), 2 shim LOW robustness items, install-Heal idempotency, 2 lens/codex LOW cosmetics.

Attaching Files/Folder now renders a collapsible preview card in the panel — the real local file
contents as syntax-fenced code with copy buttons (uses the existing markdown renderer). Host sends a
truncated preview; webview renders on demand. Browser-verified: card renders, toggles, shows code,
0 console errors.

…er fix (0.1.24)

Panel now shows a live status strip (SCX connected, endpoint, model, keys, MCP count, edits-files +
agentic caps) driven by config. Mux replies read '3-stream synthesis' not a cryptic x3. Stale footer
version removed. Browser-verified: strip populates, dot green, preview intact, 0 console errors.

Setup GUI Codex tab now also writes model_reasoning_summary + model_verbosity (confirmed ConfigProfile
keys) to the shared config.toml. Browser-verified: fields populate, save posts them, 0 console errors.

…orpus re-mined + validated

Corpus miner now mines TS/JS arrow-function consts, exported functions, and classes (was: declared
functions only). Re-mined KriticalSCXCodeStore: 244 symbols, extension.ts -> 66 symbols, 129 call-graph
edges. Full source ingest refreshed for wave .5231. Queries validated against the live store.

…ines .mjs

- mux/Invoke-KritScxSyntheticContext.py: retrieves REAL source from KriticalSCXCodeStore (DECOMPRESS),
  fans out N parallel SCX lens streams over it, synthesises one grounded answer. Live proof: 4 streams
  in 1.2s wall, answer cited real flattenTool/plan-gate behaviour; naive single-shot had nothing.
- lens corpus miner now includes .mjs/.cjs (the shim + node-agent were being skipped).

…odex model_not_found)

'coder' emits function_calls on the raw SCX API but codex 0.142.5 rejects it with model_not_found
(reserved-name clash) then falls back to ChatGPT gpt-5.2, losing SCX. gpt-oss-120b / MiniMax-M2.7 /
gemma all route cleanly through the shim. Wrapper now defaults to gpt-oss-120b and drops coder from the
agentic set (still usable in the chat panel via direct /v1/messages).

store-mcp/kritical-local-store.mjs — the embeddable alternative to KriticalSCXCodeStore (SQL Express):
mine/search/symbols/stats over a single ~/.kritical-scx/scxcode-store.db using Node 24's built-in
node:sqlite (no native deps, bundleable with the extension). Verified: 121 files/312 symbols mined,
flattenTool resolved, synthetic-context retrieval works. Lets the mega-context feature run without SQL.

…ents + preview), not a path list (0.1.26)

attachRepo now runs collectAttachments over vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders — real file contents into
context + a preview card — with a clear 'open a folder first' error when no workspace is open (was
silently doing nothing / just listing paths). Both panel + sidebar. Browser-verified: 0 console errors.

…ests (agent-authored, reviewed)

Work authored by agentic SCX codex, reviewed + validated by babysitting:
- codex-wrapper/pack/Build-KriticalSCXCodex.ps1: builds a REAL branded Kritical.SCXCodex.exe by
  recompiling upstream Codex from a disposable git worktree with source-string branding overlay
  (main.rs bin_name/about/usage/help) + toolchain bootstrap + binary-branding verify + receipt.
  VERIFIED: overlay's 5 target strings all match current upstream main.rs (no drift).
- Install-KriticalSCXCodex.ps1 rewired to delegate to the pack (compiled exe, not a cmd shim).
- tests/Test-KritScxProviderEnvIsolation.ps1 (3/3), Test-KritScxVsixPackage.ps1 (8/8) — new, green.
- Self-test 22/24 (2 fails = compiled exe not built yet; ~30min cargo build produces it). HR29 intact.

FLAGGED: safety/Restore-WorkingClaude.ps1 no longer resets a mis-set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (honors the
never-touch-native-vars rule but weakens the emergency rescue). Harmless now (var unset); revisit.

Live parallel-agent proof: context ceilings (DeepSeek matches 131k, MiniMax exceeds to 196k, gpt-oss
caps ~108k — needle-recall verified, hard 400s not truncation); storage (local node:sqlite is the
shippable default, SQL Server source-of-truth, HR27 JSONL the log); 4-stream mux grounded in real code
beats single-shot hallucination. Canonical local store populated (125 files/327 symbols).

Invoke-KritShopifyThemeArchive.py — enumerates EVERY theme on a store
(including ancient unpublished ones), downloads every asset byte-for-byte,
writes a per-asset SHA-256 manifest, re-verifies the download, and only
then (opt-in --delete) removes themes off the server to free the 20-theme
cap so clone/backup can finish.

Built on the documented kritical_shopify_json handlers (HKCU token + JSON
correctness). Safety: DELETE refused on PROD (kriticalptyltd) unconditionally;
never deletes role=main (published) or --keep ids; delete gated behind a clean
re-verify (HR23 no-backup-no-delete); default run is download+verify only.

Proven: lists all 20 themes on kritical-1234 (at cap), token+REST path green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: 0.35s sleep (~2.8 req/s) blew past Shopify REST's 2 req/s cap;
68-108 assets/theme failed with 429, which the verify-before-delete gate
correctly refused to delete on. Added Retry-After-honoring exponential
backoff (max 6 retries) in _req for 429 + 5xx, bumped default sleep floor
to 0.6s. Downloads now complete clean so themes become delete-eligible.

… OWN 65-file codebase

Something cool with the proven big-context + mux: MiniMax-M2.7 ingested ~94k tokens of the real
codebase (65 files from the local SQLite store) in ONE window, fanned out 4 parallel lens streams
(architecture/dataflow/safety/gotchas, ~107k input tokens each), and synthesised a grounded system
architecture doc. Every claim traceable to real source. Sovereign, on SCX, no OpenAI/Anthropic.

From the scx-deep-bughunt adversarial workflow (34 agents, verified). All 8 HIGH
plus 7 MED and 3 LOW. See docs/SCX-BUGHUNT-FIXES-5231.md for the full tick-off.

Highlights:
- extension: switchKey dead in panel + key-set corruption on rotation; orphaned
  user turn bricked chats ("roles must alternate"); temperature now clamped [0,2].
- codex wrapper: propagate KRIT_SHIM_* + SCX_API_KEY to the shim child; teardown
  kills the exact launched PID (was killing whoever owned :4199).
- shim: retry telemetry reflects the dropped-tools payload; failed retry returns
  cleanly instead of streaming an opaque error.
- litellm/safety/install: $pid (read-only automatic) renamed; port-kill identity
  checks; "litellm installed" status now actually imports litellm; banner fix.
- lens ingest: real byte-exact storage + a genuine byte-level reassembly proof
  (was lossy utf-8/replace on both sides — the proof always passed).
- mux: per-stream error isolation (one HTTPError no longer discards all streams).

Deferred (tracked in the ledger): pack/* (owned by live compile sessions), 2 shim
LOW robustness, install Heal idempotency, 2 lens/codex LOW cosmetics.

Second wave (agent-fixed, independently re-verified: shim 6/6, all parse):
- shim: robust upstream URL join (whole-segment /v1 strip, no // or dropped
  separator); forward the client's content-type instead of hardcoding json (#7,#8).
- kritical-codex.ps1: model auto-correct warning now names the real source of
  $Model (VS Code shared selection vs explicit -Model) (#15).
- Install-KritScxVsCode.ps1: Heal is now idempotent — a valid Continue config is
  left untouched instead of clobbered on any ABSENT (#21).
- Invoke-KritScxCorpusMine.py: call-graph edges skip comments/strings + require a
  call-like context, killing false-positive edges (#27).

New automation:
- mux/Invoke-KritScxMuxMatrix.py — fans ONE task across MiniMax-M2.7/DeepSeek-V3.1/
  gpt-oss-120b IN PARALLEL, sizing each model's injected context to its REAL proven
  ceiling (195k/129k/108k), per-stream error isolation, cross-model synthesis.
  "Appropriate mux for the size."

…e store

New command kritical.scxcode.lookingGlass ($(telescope)): a webview panel
(cmdLookingGlass) that reads the portable local store (%USERPROFILE%\.kritical-scx\
scxcode-store.db) read-only via node:sqlite and renders the corpus browser + symbol
explorer from REAL data (125 files / 327 symbols), keeping the Southern Cross
starfield + navy/cyan identity. Findings panel stays on sample data (dbo.v_LensFindings
wiring flagged as next). Build green (esbuild 205kb); chat panel/sidebar untouched.

…R18)

Second-pass re-hunt findings, independently confirmed against the code and
fixed in place with `.5231b (re-hunt)` markers:

- lens/Invoke-KritScxCorpusMine.py (HIGH): SQL connection opened at module
  level with no try/finally — any exception in the mining loop leaked the
  pyodbc handle and locked KriticalSCXCodeStore. Wrapped the mining body so
  cn is always closed (HR16/HR29).
- lens/Invoke-KritScxSecurityMine.py (HIGH): same leak — an exception outside
  the per-tool try/excepts (add()/deepseek-commit/summary query) skipped the
  lone cn.close(). Registered an idempotent atexit close so the connection is
  released on every exit path.
- src/extension.ts (MED): publishCurrentModel() wrote current-model.json with a
  plain writeFileSync; an interrupted write left a truncated file the codex
  wrapper couldn't parse (silent fallback to default model). Now writes to a
  temp sibling and renames atomically.
- src/extension.ts (MED): _keyRotation was module-scoped only, so a VS Code
  restart reset it to 0 and silently reverted the operator's manual "Switch SCX
  key" selection. Persist the pointer to ~/.kritical-scx/key-rotation.json
  (atomic write) and restore it on activation.
- install/Install-KriticalSCX.ps1 (LOW): Uninstall did Remove-Item -Recurse
  -Force on the VS Code extensions folder without interrogating NTFS reparse
  points (HR18). Added Remove-ItemReparseSafe which deletes junctions/symlinks
  as the link node only and recurses solely into genuine directories.

Skipped (did not hold up on inspection):
- litellm/kritical_scx_logger.py (MED): claim was that a failed pyodbc.connect()
  is swallowed with no signal. In fact _write() is called inside _capture()'s
  try, whose except logs the error via _dbg() — fail-open (HR29) and logged.
  No change needed.

Verify: src esbuild green (0.1.27, 206kb); scx-agentic-shim.test.mjs 6/6;
edited .ps1 parses via Parser::ParseFile; edited .py pass ast.parse.
codex-wrapper/pack/ untouched.

… mux-matrix

The SCX bulk-writer (mux/Invoke-KritScxBulkWrite.mjs) generated these via
DeepSeek-V3.1 (store) and gpt-oss-120b (mux-matrix), grounded on real source;
the operator lensed both drafts, patched real defects, and verified green:
- store-mcp/kritical-local-store.test.mjs (node:test, 7/7) — fixed ESM require()
  in teardown, a wrong "3 files" total assertion (stats is per-lang), and made
  the script path self-resolving.
- mux/Invoke-KritScxMuxMatrix.test.py (unittest, 7/7) — converted off pytest to
  stdlib; every ceiling/budget/packing assertion verified against real logic.

This is the sovereign-SCX bulk-write loop: SCX writes cheaply in parallel, the
operator lenses + patches + proves before anything lands.

MiniMax-M2.7 wrote it grounded on the real package.json + CLAUDE.md + shim +
mux + store source (20k-token context). Operator lensed two rounds: first draft
had a wrong mine-command and mis-described the shim's plan-gate behaviour + got
truncated by the token cap; regenerated with those facts corrected and a higher
cap, then hand-patched a hallucinated clone URL and a cut-off word. Every
referenced file verified to exist. Covers all surfaces, the agentic-codex flow,
the proven real ceilings, the two corpus pipelines, and HR1/HR29.

…h 2)

SCX bulk-write batch 2, operator-lensed:
- CHANGELOG.md (MiniMax-M2.7) — grounded in the bughunt ledger; every Fixed
  entry maps to a real fix (no invented ones). Patched: mislocated bulk-write
  loop (it's mux/Invoke-KritScxBulkWrite.mjs, not the store) + a token-cap
  truncation at the tail.
- codex-wrapper/scx-agentic-shim.edge.test.mjs (DeepSeek-V3.1) — 6 edge cases
  complementing the existing 6 (null/bare-object flatten, local_shell/custom
  fallbacks, no-tools passthrough, plan-gate regex boundaries, SERVER_TOOLS).
  Landed with ZERO patches — verified 6/6 against the real shim exports; the
  original suite stays 6/6 (12 shim tests total).

The SCX bulk-write driver now reads its ctx files from KRIT_BULK_REPO (default
Kritical.SCXCode), so the same engine can ground drafts on a sister repo — used
to draft the Pax8 connector README from that repo's real app.json + AL source.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…t (batch 4)

SCX bulk-write batch 4, operator-lensed:
- docs/AGENTIC-CODEX.md (MiniMax-M2.7) — flattenTool/SERVER_TOOLS/isPlanGateError,
  plan-gate retry, telemetry, model resolution all verified against the real shim +
  wrapper; completed the token-truncated -c overrides tail + troubleshooting/env sections.
- CONTRIBUTING.md (DeepSeek-V3.1) — build/test/HARD-RULES/commit-style; complete as drafted.
- lens/Invoke-KritScxCorpusMine.test.py (gpt-oss-120b, heavily rewritten) — the draft
  guessed table names + checked names in SQL text (they're ? params) + had a lens/lens
  path + no runner; rewrote to mock pyodbc, inspect INSERT params, and added a regression
  test for the .5231 comment/string false-edge fix. 2/2 green.

MiniMax-M2.7 wrote it grounded on the real store + both mux scripts + the proof
doc; verified accurate (store schema, skip/code sets, search maxChars 11k, the
synthetic-context 90k cap, per-stream isolation). Completed the token-truncated
tail (per-model sizing, ceilings table, run commands, bulk-write section) from
known-correct source.

Two composing design docs for the storage-into-agent power-tool phase:
- SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md — shim-side corpus auto-injection (augmentWithCorpus
  hook, KRIT_SHIM_STORE flag, budget-vs-live-payload sizing because SCX hard-400s,
  strippable developer-item injection) + 10 ranked behaviours to steal from
  Codex/Claude Code/Kimi + mux/prompting upgrades + HR1/HR29 checklist.
- CONTEXT-ECONOMY-6502-DESIGN.md — old-school memory discipline for scarce context:
  SHA content-addressing/dedup, cold/warm/hot paging + LRU eviction, compression
  tiers (raw->gzip->SimHash->SCX capsule), delta-encoded history, relevance working
  sets, inter-agent summarization reusing the HR27 log verbatim, and a localhost-only
  namespaced token-secured cross-agent grounding server. 9-phase build plan.

The two dovetail: the 6502 page_in returns budget-fit context that the shim injects.
Designed by Claude agents; the modules will be SCX-bulk-written + operator-lensed.

…from the corpus store

The crown of the mega-merge design (docs/design/SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md):
scx-corpus-augment.mjs hooks into the shim between transformRequestBody() and the
forward. On each agentic /v1/responses request it (1) extracts keywords/paths
deterministically (zero-latency, no LLM), (2) retrieves matching real source from
store-mcp/kritical-local-store.mjs, (3) sizes the injection to the model's REAL
ceiling AGAINST THE LIVE PAYLOAD (SCX hard-400s over-budget — a fixed inject would
break a busy agent mid-task), (4) injects it as a single strippable `developer`
item. Opt-in via KRIT_SHIM_STORE (off|local|sql|both); OFF by default = byte-
identical passthrough (HR29). SCX_API_KEY only (HR1); never touches ~/.codex.

SCX-drafted, operator-lensed: fixed a broken null guard, a shell-word-split/
injection risk (process.execPath + no shell), a missed Array input shape (codex's
responses API), and a camelCase-blind keyword regex + last-item-only extraction.
Tests: scx-corpus-augment.test.mjs 5/5 incl. a real mine->extract->inject
integration; shim suites stay 12/12 (injection invisible when off).

This is the coding agent using our storage through the mux — grounded by construction.

…t, no choking

The core the whole vision was aiming at: split a file too big for any window into
semantic chunks stored EXTERNALLY (SQLite; SQL Server mirror in sql/chunk-store-
schema.sql), then feed the model a SYNTHETIC EDIT WINDOW = the focus chunk(s) in
FULL + a compressed symbol-tagged MAP of every other chunk (the rest lives in
storage, requested by #idx). Edit the focus chunk, `apply` writes it back and
reassembles the whole file byte-safely.

Proven on src/extension.ts: 2,525 lines / 160KB (~40k tokens) -> 52 chunks;
synthetic window for a focus = 6.6KB (~24x smaller) with a full whole-file map;
reassembly byte-identical (edit-and-write-back is safe). Tests 4/4 (chunkText
round-trip + symbol extraction + buildContext budget/focus/fallback).

Commands: chunk | map | context <file> <focus> [budget] | apply <file> <idx>
<newFile> | reassemble | summarize. Next: SCX-generated per-chunk summaries so the
map is a real synthetic overview; SQL-Server backend; wire into the shim augment.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… not previews

Reads a file's stored chunks and has SCX write a one-line summary per chunk (parallel,
pool of 8), so the chunk-store's whole-file MAP becomes a genuine synthetic overview
the model reasons over while editing the focus chunk. Proven: 52/52 chunks of
src/extension.ts summarized in ~9s.

Two SCX integration bugs caught + fixed live: (1) gpt-oss-120b is a REASONING model —
it spends tokens in reasoning_content before emitting `content`; a small max_tokens
left content empty (finish_reason=length), so bumped to 400 + fall back to the last
sentence of reasoning_content; (2) a "<=22 words" instruction made it count words in
its reasoning and emit garbage — removed the word-count trigger + reject reasoning-noise
in the fallback. Now clean.

Completes the "properly prompting the summarised/synthetic context" piece: chunk a
massive file -> SCX synthetic summaries -> focus-chunk-full + compressed map -> edit ->
byte-safe reassemble. Never choking.

…s auto-use synthetic context

The shim's storage->agent augment now detects when a request references a file too big
to inline (> SYNTH_THRESHOLD) and injects the chunk-store SYNTHETIC CONTEXT (focus
chunk in FULL + compressed whole-file map) instead of raw corpus search — so an agent
editing a massive file never chokes. Falls back to raw search when no big file is
referenced. Opt-in KRIT_SHIM_STORE; OFF = passthrough (HR29).

- store-mcp/kritical-chunk-store.mjs: run-directly guard (importing chunkText/
  buildContext is now side-effect-free); buildContext reordered FOCUS-FIRST (the
  editable region is guaranteed; the map fills remaining budget, truncated for enormous
  files) + multi-term focus matching.
- codex-wrapper/scx-corpus-augment.mjs: buildBigFileContext() resolves referenced
  paths, chunks big files in-memory, builds a prefix-budgeted synthetic window per file.
- Tests: augment 7/7 (incl. a real extension.ts synthetic-window test), chunk-store 4/4,
  shim stays 12/12.

Caught + fixed live: the map ate the budget before the focus chunk (fixed by focus-first
ordering) + a prefix-unaware budget that sliced off the focus chunk.

…ic-context editing

A localhost-only, per-agent-namespaced, HKCU-token-secured HTTP endpoint over the
chunk-store, so ANY coding agent (scxcodex first; codex / Claude Code / etc) can run
the full synthetic-context editing loop over a massive file:
  POST /v1/chunk {ns,file}                 -> chunk + store (round-trip verified)
  POST /v1/context {ns,file,focus,budget}  -> synthetic edit window (focus full + map)
  POST /v1/apply {ns,file,idx,content}     -> edit a focus chunk, reassemble the file on disk
  POST /v1/map | /v1/reassemble            -> whole-file map / rebuild
  GET  /health                             -> open

Security (HR29): binds 127.0.0.1 ONLY (never 0.0.0.0); Bearer token required
(KRIT_CHUNK_TOKEN or a 0600 persisted generated one); per-agent namespace isolates
each agent's chunk DB; optional KRIT_CHUNK_ROOT path jail. HR1: serves TEXT only,
never reads SCX_API_KEY (summarization is a separate SCX-holding process).

Tests 5/5: health open, 401 without token, chunk->context synthetic window (budget
respected), apply-back edits + reassembles on disk (feature0 edited, others preserved),
unknown verb 404. Full regression 23/23 (chunk-store 4 + augment 7 + shim 12).

This is steps 2a+2b: the cross-agent synthetic-context editing loop, end-to-end.

…to a blobs table

Each unique chunk body is now stored ONCE, keyed by SHA-256, in a blobs table; chunk
rows carry the sha reference with NULL content, and reads materialise content via
LEFT JOIN blobs ON blobs.sha=chunks.sha. Identical chunks (repeated boilerplate, or
unchanged chunks across file versions) cost one blob, not N — the first old-school
memory technique from CONTEXT-ECONOMY-6502-DESIGN.md.

Refactored chunkFile (INSERT OR IGNORE blob + NULL chunk content), rows()->chunkRows()
join, and applyChunk (edit stored as a new blob). Proven: a file of 4 identical chunks
-> chunks=4, blobs=1; reassembly byte-identical after dedup. Tests: chunk-store 5/5
(incl. the dedup+round-trip test), full regression 29/29 (chunk-store + server + augment
+ shim). SQL Server mirror noted (VARBINARY via COMPRESS for gzip tiering).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nks them

Blobs now carry a codec column ('raw' | 'gz'). On write each unique body picks the
SMALLEST representation: gzip->base64 only wins on genuinely compressible code (base64
inflates ~33%, so tiny/incompressible chunks stay raw automatically). Reads decode by
codec — fully reversible, byte-exact. Existing (sha,content) stores migrate in place via
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN codec (old rows read as raw). encodeBlob/decodeBlob are exact
inverses; wired into both blob-insert sites (chunkFile + applyChunk).

Proven: a file with one 400-line repeated-line function -> that blob stored gz, the tiny
function stored raw, total store smaller than the raw file, reassembly byte-identical.
Tests: chunk-store 6/6 (incl. the tier test), full regression 30/30 (the server suite
exercises the tier end-to-end through the spawned CLI). SQL schema + SQL-Server
COMPRESS/DECOMPRESS mirror note updated.

…ntinels + include binary assets

The .5230 4-way baseline-diff miner (Netlink/Dawn6/Dawn15/overlay) had two
accuracy bugs found via a semantic-vs-raw-vs-on-disk cross-check against the
connector repo:

1. OVER-inclusion: THEME_EXT matched .bak.NNN / .deprecated.NNN sentinel files
   (assets/base.bak.1022.css, _attic/.../ai_gen_block_*.deprecated.988.liquid)
   that the composer (Build-PaxThemeFromLayers.ps1) deliberately skips. These
   HR23-preserved historical snapshots were counted as live overlay surface,
   inflating the overlay file count from the real 653 to 778 and mis-classifying
   131 dead sentinels as live "OVERLAY-ONLY net-new Kritical/Huzaifa IP" (the
   net-new-IP rollup read 207 instead of the true 76). Added a SKIP_MARKERS
   filter matching the composer's own semantics; the sentinels' full history
   already lives in the raw dbo.LensGitBlob ingest, so excluding them from the
   live-baseline-diff table is the correct separation.

2. UNDER-inclusion: THEME_EXT omitted binary image/font extensions and config
   files, silently dropping 6 real live overlay files entirely (5 image assets
   compare1.png/empty-cart.png/loading-icon.gif/sparkle.gif/wishlist.png +
   .theme-check.yml). Image/font assets ARE part of the theme surface — a Dawn
   upgrade can add/remove/change them and the overlay's custom images
   (Horizontal_Logo.png etc.) are load-bearing Kritical IP. SHA256+size compare
   works identically on binary bytes (files were already read "rb").

Verified after re-run against the connector worktree: overlay count now exactly
653 (matches on-disk real-file count), set-difference table-vs-disk is 0 in both
directions, all 6 previously-missing files present, 0 sentinels remaining.

…the static PROVIDERS catalog

PROVIDERS.md documents the static catalog (context/pricing/features from
GET /v1/models) but nothing about how each model actually BEHAVES on a real
structured-output task. This session found that gap the hard way — gpt-oss-120b
silently returned empty JSON on every large AL file because its reasoning tokens
ate a 500-token output budget, while coder was reliable. That empirical behavior
lived nowhere.

New lens/Invoke-KritScxModelBehaviorProbe.py runs the SAME known-answer
structured-JSON task across all 9 chat models and records per-model latency,
prompt/completion/reasoning tokens, JSON validity, and correctness into
KriticalSCXCodeStore.dbo.LensScxModelProbe + a matrix doc.

Findings (all verified this run):
- All 9 models emit valid JSON and get the objectively-correct verdict — so
  'json_mode capable' is real across the board.
- The real differentiator is REASONING-TOKEN OVERHEAD: MiniMax=185, MAGPiE=145,
  gpt-oss=145, coder=58, but DeepSeek/Llama-3.3/gemma-4/Qwen3/Llama-4-Maverick
  all = 0 (non-thinking). Thinking tokens count against max_tokens and scale with
  input complexity, so on a 45k-char file a reasoning model can exceed a tight cap
  and return empty — exactly the gpt-oss skip this session hit. The zero-reasoning
  models are the safe pick for bounded structured extraction.
- Routing rule folded into the doc + cross-linked from PROVIDERS.md.

Also a methodology finding worth keeping: an early version of the probe scored
correctness on has_comments+comments_match_code+hollow and marked 8/9 models
"wrong" — but `hollow` (documented-but-not-implemented) is a subjective judgment
for a mere wrong-word comment, and the models saying hollow=false were being more
precise than the over-opinionated key. Fixed to score only the unambiguous
comments_match_code dimension. This directly improves the comment-eval prompting
rubric (don't conflate mismatch with hollow).

…rence

mux/Invoke-KritScxModelBench.mjs: runs one agentic-coding task across N SCX models head-to-head,
captures real latency + prompt/completion/reasoning tokens, and computes TRUE cost from the live
per-token pricing in sources/api.scx.ai/v1/models.json. Pass any N models to compare (both
directions); writes JSON for diffing.

docs/SCX-MUX-MODEL-BENCHMARK.md: the hardcore reference — 3 wire shapes, full pricing + projected
agentic-turn cost, the measured slugify run (functionally tested for correctness), per-model
behaviour gotchas, and a what/when/why routing matrix.

Key empirical findings (correct my earlier token-count-only claim):
- DeepSeek-V3.1 is the MOST expensive per token (~8-14x for prompt-heavy agentic turns) despite
  low token counts. Never route big-context agentic coding to it.
- gemma-4-31B-it is the cheapest CORRECT small-code-gen model (4/4, ~5x cheaper than DeepSeek).
- gpt-oss-120b returns REASONING-ONLY (empty content) at max_tokens=700 — needs >=~2000 or nothing.

…ma-wave pattern

gpt-oss-120b: reasoning burn is variable (~400-700 tok); below ~2500 max_tokens it can return
empty content (reasoning-only). Rule: run it >=2500. Plus the proven parallel-gemma-wave +
Opus-gate pattern (13 tests for $0.0022; 3/13 BC-Format assertions caught + fixed).

Additive per HR29. Adds a thegrid-code-standard route to the SCX-only
default config mapping to thegrid's native Anthropic Messages endpoint
(anthropic/code-standard at messages-beta.api.thegrid.ai, x-api-key auth).
Because both Claude Code and thegrid speak the Anthropic wire shape,
LiteLLM's anthropic passthrough forwards tool_use/tool_result blocks
untranslated. Manage-KritScxProxy Install now resolves THEGRID_API_KEY
(env, else the JoshONLY secrets store) and embeds it into the task launch
cmd ONLY -- never the operator global env; proxy off => direct API.

Verified live: /v1/messages probe 200 + real completion; alternate claude
(-p) simple completion and an agentic file-listing tool-use task both
succeed on thegrid tokens. SCX entries + operator global ANTHROPIC_* env
untouched. Kill switch: Manage-KritScxProxy.ps1 -Mode Stop.

1-1: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

thegrid.ai integration introduces a non-SCX inference credential (THEGRID_API_KEY), contrary to SCX-only policy. Both sites implement the same feature decision: routing inference through a provider key other than SCX_API_KEY.

  • litellm/kritical-scx.config.yaml#L111-128: the new thegrid-code-standard model entry authenticates via os.environ/THEGRID_API_KEY for AI inference. As per coding guidelines, "Use only SCX_API_KEY for AI inference; never use OPENAI_* or ANTHROPIC_* credentials. All surfaces must use SCX-native credentials." Based on learnings, "Use only SCX_API_KEY for AI inference; never use OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or other provider API keys across any Kritical surface" — confirm this is a deliberately reviewed exception rather than an oversight, and if so, document it explicitly as an approved deviation from the SCX-only rule.
  • litellm/Manage-KritScxProxy.ps1#L59-71: resolves THEGRID_API_KEY and wires it into the proxy's launch config for the same route; if the credential-policy question above is resolved by removing/gating the route, this provisioning code becomes dead and should be removed alongside it.

PID is not identity-checked before later force-kills.

126-142: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

SCX_API_KEY is only exported to the process environment on the shim-start path — -NoShim and "shim already healthy" paths never pin it.

$env:SCX_API_KEY is only set (lines 134-136) inside if (-not $NoShim -and -not (Test-ShimHealthy)). But codex itself (line 226) reads its Bearer token via model_providers.scx.env_key="SCX_API_KEY" from its inherited process environment at launch — regardless of whether the shim needed starting. If $env:SCX_API_KEY isn't already populated in this PowerShell session (a real possibility, since $scxKey is deliberately resolved from the HKCU registry at line 81 precisely because a live session's $env: may not reflect a User-scope value set after the session started), codex will silently authenticate with an empty/stale key whenever the shim is already healthy or -NoShim is passed — the exact failure mode the .5231 fix targets, just on the codex child instead of the node child.

Move the $env:SCX_API_KEY = $scxKey assignment out of the conditional block so it always runs once $scxKey is resolved (near line 81-85), before any shim-start branching.

process as though the service were available; preserve the existing proxy
fallback for healthy proxy cases.
- Around line 185-186: Update the child process handling around spawn and its
close listener to register an error listener that exits non-zero when spawn
fails, and make the close callback exit non-zero when the child terminates via
signal instead of treating a null code as success.
- Around line 175-183: Prevent passthrough arguments from overriding the fixed
SCX configuration in the providerOverrides/finalArgs construction. Filter or
reject passthrough -c entries targeting model_provider,
model_providers.scx.name, model_providers.scx.base_url,
model_providers.scx.env_key, or model_providers.scx.wire_api before spreading
passthrough into finalArgs, while preserving unrelated arguments.

In `@codex-wrapper/kritical-codex.ps1`:
- Around line 58-60: The default agentic model is inconsistent between the
script and its documentation. Update the header docstring’s Model parameter and
DESCRIPTION fallback references, plus section 3.2 of AGENTIC-CODEX.md, to
consistently document MiniMax-M2.7 as the default used by $defaultAgentic.
- Around line 186-193: Update the compiled-binary resolution in the wrapper
function containing $compiled to derive the path from pack-manifest.json’s
compiled_entrypoint instead of hardcoding the executable path. Resolve that
manifest-relative entrypoint using the package/install root, while preserving
the existing Test-Path validation and fallback order for KRITICAL_SCXCODEX_PATH.

In `@codex-wrapper/pack/Apply-KriticalCodexPack.ps1`:
- Around line 75-81: Guard all three recursive deletion sites against NTFS
reparse points: codex-wrapper/pack/Apply-KriticalCodexPack.ps1 lines 75-81,
Build-KriticalSCXCodex.ps1 lines 251-256 within Remove-Worktree, and lines
293-297 in the Clean branch. Before each Remove-Item -Recurse -Force, inspect
the target’s attributes; if it is a reparse point, remove only the link itself
explicitly, otherwise perform the existing recursive deletion.
- Around line 38-45: Update Assert-UnderKriticalRoot in
codex-wrapper/pack/Apply-KriticalCodexPack.ps1 lines 38-45 and
codex-wrapper/pack/Build-KriticalSCXCodex.ps1 lines 28-35 to compare resolved
paths against the root plus a trailing directory separator, while still allowing
the root itself if required. Preserve the rejection behavior for sibling paths
such as C:\KriticalSCXOther, and keep both duplicate helpers consistent;
extracting a shared helper is optional.

In `@codex-wrapper/pack/pack-manifest.json`:
- Around line 9-13: Wire the manifest fields into the pack scripts: in
codex-wrapper/pack/Apply-KriticalCodexPack.ps1:23-36, update
Remove-LegacyShimFiles to include entries from $manifestData.legacy_shims
alongside its known defaults; in
codex-wrapper/pack/Build-KriticalSCXCodex.ps1:264-268, derive the entrypoint
filename from $manifestData.binary_name instead of the hardcoded literal. Update
codex-wrapper/pack/pack-manifest.json:9-13 only as needed to keep these
configurable values consistent.

In `@codex-wrapper/README.md`:
- Around line 1-51: Add the required tagline “Your last call. And your first
move.” to codex-wrapper/README.md, preferably in a closing footer or banner, and
add the same tagline to docs/AGENTIC-CODEX.md alongside its top author/contact
banner or closing line. No other documentation changes are needed.

In `@CONTRIBUTING.md`:
- Around line 20-44: Update the Building and Testing subsections in
CONTRIBUTING.md by inserting a blank line between each ### heading and its
opening Markdown code fence, satisfying markdownlint MD022/MD031 without
changing the commands.

In `@docs/AGENTIC-CODEX.md`:
- Around line 136-138: Add blank lines before and after the fenced JSON code
block in the Returns section of AGENTIC-CODEX.md, preserving the existing
example content.

In `@docs/archaeology/2026-07-09-scx-runtime-catalog-autocontext.md`:
- Around line 203-207: Remove the OPENROUTER_API_KEY reference from the “Skipped
lanes” section. Replace that bullet with a provider-neutral description of the
skipped optional non-SCX lane, or remove the bullet entirely, while preserving
the other documented skipped lanes.

In `@docs/design/CONTEXT-ECONOMY-6502-DESIGN.md`:
- Line 457: Update the P7 Grounding server table cell to prevent the inline
endpoint separators in “page_in|push_capsule|stats” from being parsed as
Markdown column delimiters, while preserving the endpoint list.
- Around line 30-35: Update the “Where this sits vs. the shim merge design”
section to reference docs/design/SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md instead of the
scratchpad path, and remove the claim that the file is not yet on disk while
preserving the forward-dependency context.
- Line 1: Rename the design artifacts docs/design/CONTEXT-ECONOMY-6502-DESIGN.md
and docs/design/SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md to mechanism- or
responsibility-based filenames, then update every documentation reference,
identifier, test, and memory reference to use the new names. Remove all 6502 and
MEGA-MERGE terminology while preserving the designs’ existing meaning.

In `@docs/design/SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md`:
- Line 16: Update the Flatten-proxy implementation-status documentation to
reflect that context injection is already shipped: acknowledge the shim’s
existing augmentWithCorpus call and the reviewed scx-corpus-augment.mjs module,
replacing the stale “No context injection today” and “new” descriptions. Clearly
distinguish any remaining future design work from the implemented behavior.

In `@docs/MUX.md`:
- Line 13: Update the Multi-Model Mux Matrix TOC entry to use the generated
Markdown heading slug for “Invoke-KritScxMuxMatrix.py,” replacing the incorrect
invoke-kritscxmuxtrixpy fragment while preserving the link text and destination
section.
- Line 302: Every listed public Markdown artifact must include the exact tagline
“Your last call. And your first move.” Add it consistently to the public footer
or banner in docs/MUX.md (anchor site), docs/PROVIDERS.md,
docs/SCX-ARCHITECTURE-AUTOGENERATED.md, docs/SCX-BUGHUNT-FIXES-5231.md,
docs/SCX-MODEL-BEHAVIOR-PROBE.md, docs/SCX-MUX-MODEL-BENCHMARK.md,
docs/SCX-MUX-STORAGE-CONTEXT-PROOF.md,
docs/archaeology/2026-07-09-scx-runtime-catalog-autocontext.md,
docs/design/CONTEXT-ECONOMY-6502-DESIGN.md, and
docs/design/SCXCODEX-MEGA-MERGE-DESIGN.md; update each cited site directly
without changing unrelated content.

In `@docs/PROVIDERS.md`:
- Around line 5-12: Refresh docs/PROVIDERS.md against the current SCX API, or
explicitly label it as a historical snapshot and link to the current generated
catalog. Also add the required Kritical tagline to this public markdown document
while preserving the existing provider and behavioral references.

In `@docs/restore-points/2026-07-09-scxcodex-working/RESTORE-POINT.md`:
- Around line 38-48: Update the Restore Procedure step for stopping
Kritical.SCXCodex.exe so it requires verifying both the process identity and
that its executable path matches the installed runtime path before termination.
Preserve the subsequent Copy-Item restore command and make the verification
mandatory before stopping any process.

In `@docs/SCX-BUGHUNT-FIXES-5231.md`:
- Line 17: Update the temperature range documented in the ledger entry to the
implemented conservative [0,1] contract. Change only the range described for the
scxPost fix, keeping the existing clamping behavior and surrounding entry
unchanged.

In `@docs/SCX-MODEL-BEHAVIOR-PROBE.md`:
- Around line 29-38: Qualify the zero-reasoning model guarantees and mux routing
rule in the documentation as observations specific to this probe, task, input
configuration, and tested output caps. Avoid presenting them as universal
behavior; explicitly note that claims must be revalidated when model behavior,
inputs, caps, or the model roster changes.

In `@docs/SCX-MUX-MODEL-BENCHMARK.md`:
- Around line 51-53: Update the “Huge-context (single massive file/corpus)” row
to use the proven coder context ceiling of 196,608 (approximately 196k),
replacing the inconsistent 197k value while preserving the existing model
recommendation and rationale.
- Around line 42-43: Update the benchmark guidance to treat empty content as a
failed completion, not as a successful answer sourced from reasoning_content.
Remove the recommendation to fall back to reasoning_content, and instruct
callers to retry with sufficient max_tokens/output headroom; preserve the
direct-model guidance that reads content normally.

In
`@documentation/ai/2026-07-06/scxcodex-pack/SCXCODEX-FULL-ARCHITECTURE-HANDOVER-2026-07-06.md`:
- Around line 3-7: Redact workstation-specific absolute paths from the
documented handover metadata and launch commands: in
documentation/ai/2026-07-06/scxcodex-pack/SCXCODEX-FULL-ARCHITECTURE-HANDOVER-2026-07-06.md
lines 3-7 and 168-175, replace the user-specific repository path with a
repository-relative path or placeholder; in
documentation/ai/2026-07-06/scxcodex-pack/SCXCODEX-PACK-HANDOFF-2026-07-06.md
lines 3-5, remove or replace the same absolute path. Keep machine-specific paths
only in local receipts.
- Around line 133-135: Update the SCX API credential documentation and
implementation to remove support for kritical.scxcode.apiKey, including the
related section around the SCX API call configuration, and enforce SCX_API_KEY
as the only credential source for all AI inference surfaces. Retain
kritical.scxcode.baseUrl for endpoint configuration.

In `@install/Install-KriticalSCX.ps1`:
- Around line 27-48: Update Remove-ItemReparseSafe so recursive deletion
inspects every descendant for ReparsePoint attributes before traversing or
deleting it. Delete nested links as link nodes without recursion, while
recursively removing only genuine directories and preserving the existing
root-item handling.

In `@install/Invoke-KritScxEndToEndBugHunt.ps1`:
- Around line 230-246: Update the final status-output path in
Invoke-KritScxEndToEndBugHunt so that when -Mode Status is used it prints clear
instructions for fully disabling the layer, and records the same instructions in
the receipt object before ConvertTo-Json. Keep the existing result summary,
receipt path output, and exit behavior unchanged.

In `@lens/Invoke-KritScxCorpusMine.py`:
- Line 121: Update the loop using per_file so it does not zip against the
original files list, since unreadable files are omitted and can misalign source
paths with analysis results. Iterate over per_file directly only if each tuple
already carries its corresponding path; otherwise retain the path alongside each
result when constructing per_file and use that stored path for call-graph rows.

In `@lens/Invoke-KritScxModelBehaviorProbe.py`:
- Around line 82-106: Ensure the database connection created in main() is always
closed, including when probe(), cur.execute(), or commit() raises. Wrap the
connection-using body in try/finally and close cn in the finally block,
preserving the existing probing and commit behavior.

In `@lens/Invoke-KritShopifyThemeArchive.py`:
- Around line 90-93: Update the retry wait calculation in the HTTPError handling
block to guard conversion of Retry-After with numeric parsing; when the header
is missing or not a valid number, fall back to the existing exponential backoff
instead of propagating ValueError. Preserve the current sleep and
attempt-increment behavior.
- Around line 126-134: Secure asset writes around the target construction in the
archive-generation flow by resolving the path derived from key and verifying it
remains within the resolved tdir before calling os.makedirs or open. Reject or
skip keys that escape the theme directory, while preserving existing binary and
text writing behavior for contained assets.

In `@litellm/kritical-scx.config.yaml`:
- Around line 111-128: Update the thegrid-code-standard route to use SCX_API_KEY
for inference instead of THEGRID_API_KEY, preserving the existing
Anthropic-compatible model and endpoint settings. Remove or revise the nearby
comments so they no longer describe THEGRID_API_KEY as an accepted credential or
claim this route is compliant with the SCX-only policy.

In `@litellm/Manage-KritScxProxy.ps1`:
- Around line 59-71: The Scheduled Task command constructed by $cmdArgs embeds
$gridKey in plaintext and exposes it through the process command line. Remove
$gridKey interpolation from $setGrid and the task action, and have the launched
proxy process resolve the key at runtime via a wrapper or equivalent startup
mechanism that sets THEGRID_API_KEY before invoking litellm, while preserving
the existing environment-variable and secrets-file resolution order.

In `@litellm/Test-KritScxRouting.ps1`:
- Around line 51-53: Remove the vacuous Check block that returns the hardcoded
string, and retain its intent only as a comment documenting that native provider
environment values are intentionally not inspected by this test. Leave the
surrounding health, canary, and authentication checks unchanged.

In `@mux/Invoke-KritScxAutoCompact.ps1`:
- Around line 17-23: Update the comment-based help example for
Invoke-KritScxAutoCompact to pass the function’s actual -Body parameter instead
of -RequestBody. Keep the outer script parameter name unchanged, and ensure any
corresponding invocation references around the function definition and call
sites consistently document and use -Body.
- Around line 151-167: Update the Step 3 content-truncation path in
Invoke-KritScxAutoCompact so it clones the current request/messages collection
before replacing the last message, rather than mutating the caller’s original
Body reference. Preserve the existing truncation behavior and strategy marker
while ensuring the returned compacted payload is independent of the input
object.
- Around line 48-54: Update Get-ModelCeiling to check for an exact model-key
match before evaluating broader matches, then retain substring fallback behavior
with deterministic precedence. Avoid relying on raw $script:ModelCeilings.Keys
enumeration order so overlapping keys cannot select an unintended ceiling.

In `@mux/Invoke-KritScxBulkWrite.mjs`:
- Around line 18-19: Replace the machine-specific STAGE constant with a
configurable environment-variable value and a portable temporary-directory
fallback, importing tmpdir from node:os as needed. Preserve KRIT_BULK_REPO
handling for REPO and ensure the stage path no longer contains developer- or
session-specific absolute components.

In `@mux/Invoke-KritScxMuxMatrix.py`:
- Around line 601-621: Handle an empty models list before constructing the
ThreadPoolExecutor in the fan-out flow. After routing and top-model limiting,
validate that models is non-empty and emit the existing clean CLI error/exit
path; only create the executor and collect results when at least one model
remains.

In `@mux/Invoke-KritScxSyntheticContext.py`:
- Around line 136-144: The final synthesis call in the main flow should be
wrapped in try/except, matching the isolation used by the baseline call and each
`one(lens)` stream. Preserve the successful fan-out output, and on synthesis
failure report a clear “synthesis failed” note with the error instead of
discarding prior results or terminating.
- Around line 45-62: Update the symbol-graph query in retrieve_context to filter
paths using the caller-provided keywords, matching the file-block retrieval
behavior, instead of the hardcoded scx-agentic-shim pattern. Build and bind the
corresponding LIKE parameters for the LensSymbol query while preserving the
existing TOP 12 and ordering behavior.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 100-105: Update the VSIX install command in the README to
reference the shipped artifact name and path, SCXCode-0.1.27.vsix under src.
Apply the same filename correction to the adjacent New-KritOneDriveShareLink
example so both installation instructions work verbatim.
- Around line 29-41: Align the README table and callout to use consistent proven
ceiling values for MiniMax-M2.7 and DeepSeek-V3.1. Update the MiniMax callout to
match the table’s 195,676-token ceiling and revise the DeepSeek statement to
reflect 129,300 rather than the full advertised 131,072; keep the surrounding
model guidance unchanged.
- Around line 184-189: Correct the README command block’s language annotation to
powershell, matching its backtick line-continuation syntax. Keep the command and
its arguments unchanged.

In `@sql/chunk-store-schema.sql`:
- Around line 17-27: Update the chunks table definition to make the content
column nullable by removing its NOT NULL constraint. Keep the existing sha-based
content-addressing design and all other column constraints unchanged so rows
inserted with content=NULL remain valid.

In `@src/extension.ts`:
- Around line 1498-1502: Update the esc() helper used by the file-row rendering
and related attribute generation to escape both double and single quotes in
addition to its existing HTML-sensitive characters. Ensure values interpolated
into data-path, data-name, and class attributes remain safely contained,
including corpus path, name, and kind values.
- Around line 601-604: Update the temperature handling in the SCX request body
to clamp finite values inclusively to [0, 2], preserving the existing fallback
for non-finite values. Also update the temperature slider and its parseFloat
handler so the UI exposes and preserves the full 0–2 range.

In `@src/SCXCode-0.1.24.vsix`:
- Around line 1-498: Remove the committed versioned .vsix build artifact from
the repository, including superseded binaries, and add the .vsix build output
pattern to .gitignore so future packages are not tracked. Publish distributable
.vsix files through GitHub Release assets or the package feed instead of source
control.

In `@store-mcp/kritical-chunk-server.mjs`:
- Line 38: Update pathAllowed to enforce a directory boundary after ROOT rather
than relying on a raw string prefix, using the imported path separator (while
still allowing ROOT itself). Add sep to the node:path import and apply it in the
resolved-path check.
- Around line 78-84: Update the apply branch around runStore to validate that
body.idx is present and valid before invoking the CLI, rather than passing
String(undefined). Ensure the temporary file created for apply is always removed
after runStore completes, including when the command fails or throws, using
unlinkSync and the existing temporary-file path.

In `@store-mcp/kritical-chunk-store.mjs`:
- Around line 160-180: Wrap the multi-step persistence sequence in
applyChunk()—from the blob insert through chunk updates, file reassembly, and
files metadata update—in the same transaction pattern used by chunkFile(),
committing only after every operation succeeds and rolling back on any error.
Keep the existing missing-chunk early return outside the transaction and ensure
failures do not leave partial database changes.

In `@tests/Invoke-KritScxE2EProof.ps1`:
- Around line 127-136: Update the temporary repository cleanup around $tmpRepo
to interrogate NTFS reparse points before invoking Remove-Item -Recurse -Force.
Reject or safely handle $tmpRepo and any descendant reparse points before
deletion, while preserving the existing TEMP-boundary validation and subsequent
directory creation.

In `@tests/Invoke-KritScxSelfTest.ps1`:
- Around line 70-71: Replace the tautological `{ $true }` bodies for the native
Anthropic/OpenAI and Codex checks in the SCX self-test with concrete assertions
that invoke and validate the isolation-guardrail script
`Test-KritScxProviderEnvIsolation.ps1`. Ensure both checks pass only when the
corresponding guardrail validation succeeds, preserving the intent that native
settings remain uninspected.

In `@tests/Test-KritSupervisorRouting.ps1`:
- Around line 17-18: Remove the tautological test named “native
Anthropic/OpenAI/Codex provider settings are uninspected” from the PATH 1
section of Test-KritSupervisorRouting.ps1. Do not replace it with another
assertion; retain only meaningful regression coverage for native provider
routing.

Outside diff comments:
In `@codex-wrapper/kritical-codex.ps1`:
- Around line 126-142: Move the $env:SCX_API_KEY = $scxKey assignment out of the
shim-start conditional and place it immediately after $scxKey is resolved,
before any Test-ShimHealthy or -NoShim branching. Remove the conditional
duplicate while preserving the existing KRIT_SHIM_PORT and KRIT_SHIM_UPSTREAM
assignments in the shim launch path.

In `@litellm/Install-KritScxLiteLLM.ps1`:
- Around line 79-90: Update Get-KritLiteLLMPid and the later force-kill paths to
verify that the stored PID belongs to the intended LiteLLM process, not merely
any process using that PID. Reuse the script’s actual LiteLLM identity check,
such as validating the process command line or executable against the launched
LiteLLM command, before returning the PID or calling Stop-Process in
Heal/Remove; reject mismatches and never force-kill unrelated processes.

In `@litellm/kritical-scx.config.yaml`:
- Line 1: Remove the thegrid.ai inference route and its credential provisioning
to preserve the SCX-only credential policy. Delete the thegrid-code-standard
model entry in the LiteLLM configuration and remove the corresponding
THEGRID_API_KEY resolution and launch-config wiring in Manage-KritScxProxy.ps1;
do not leave dead configuration behind.

In `@tests/Invoke-KritScxSelfTest.ps1`:
- Line 1: Remove the always-true assertions introduced for the obsolete
native-provider checks in Invoke-KritScxSelfTest.ps1 and
Test-KritSupervisorRouting.ps1, or replace them with concrete regression
assertions. Prefer invoking Test-KritScxProviderEnvIsolation.ps1 and asserting
successful exit status where applicable; otherwise remove the affected PATH 1
test blocks entirely.

Compiled-binary path is hardcoded, duplicating pack-manifest.json's compiled_entrypoint.

$compiled here is a literal duplicate of compiled_entrypoint in codex-wrapper/pack/pack-manifest.json. If the install root or package layout in the manifest changes, this wrapper silently keeps pointing at the old path instead of the one the pack scripts actually produced.

Assert-UnderKriticalRoot's StartsWith check allows sibling-directory bypass, duplicated in two files.
Both copies resolve full paths and then test $resolved.StartsWith($root, ...) where $root = 'C:\KriticalSCX'. A path like C:\KriticalSCXOther\... or C:\KriticalSCX-backup\... also satisfies StartsWith even though it's a sibling, not a subdirectory — the safety guard meant to fence destructive Remove-Item/build operations to C:\KriticalSCX can be bypassed by any path sharing that prefix.

  • codex-wrapper/pack/Apply-KriticalCodexPack.ps1#L38-L45: append a trailing separator to $root (or compare against $root + [IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar) before the StartsWith check, and consider extracting this helper into a single shared module instead of duplicating it.

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force runs without interrogating NTFS reparse points, at three sites across two files.
As per coding guidelines, "Never run Remove-Item -Recurse -Force on a path without first interrogating NTFS reparse points."

- **Zero-reasoning-token models** (safest for structured output under a tight `max_tokens`): `DeepSeek-V3.1`, `Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct`, `gemma-4-31B-it`, `Qwen3-32B`, `Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct`. These emit the JSON directly
with no thinking budget consumed — they will NOT silently return empty even on a small output cap.
- **Reasoning models** (thinking tokens count against `max_tokens`): `MiniMax-M2.7`=185, `MAGPiE`=145, `gpt-oss-120b`=145, `coder`=58. On a tiny task the overhead is ~58-185 tokens,
but it SCALES WITH INPUT COMPLEXITY — on a 45k-char AL file it can exceed a 500-token cap and
return empty (exactly the gpt-oss skip this session hit before max_tokens was raised to 1400).

**Routing rule for the mux**: for bounded structured-extraction (comment-eval, classification,
JSON tagging) prefer a zero-reasoning model OR give a reasoning model output headroom of
`reasoning_overhead x input-complexity-factor + json_size`. Reserve the heavy reasoners
(MiniMax/coder/MAGPiE) for open-ended analysis where the thinking IS the deliverable.

Scope the routing guarantees to measured conditions.

This probe demonstrates one task, but the text generalizes that zero-reasoning models will not silently return empty and presents a broad routing rule. Add varied input sizes and output caps, or qualify these statements as observations limited to this task and probe configuration.

- **Reasoning models (gpt-oss-120b, MiniMax-M2.7)** put the answer in `reasoning_content` and burn tokens there first. gpt-oss at max_tokens=700 produced **empty `content`** (finish=length) — it needs **>=~2000 max_tokens** or you get nothing. Always read `content`, fall back to `reasoning_content`.
- **Direct models (DeepSeek-V3.1, gemma-4, Qwen3, Llama)** emit straight to `content`, reasoning_tokens=0 — predictable, no fallback needed.

Do not treat reasoning_content as a successful answer.

The benchmark calls empty content unusable, but these lines recommend returning reasoning_content. That field may contain incomplete internal reasoning rather than a final answer and can expose material that should not be user-facing. Treat empty content as a failed completion and retry with sufficient output headroom.

MiniMax/DeepSeek ceiling numbers disagree between the table and the callout.

The table (line 31) lists MiniMax-M2.7's real ceiling as 195,676, but the callout (line 41) says "real ceiling ~196,608" — a different number for the same metric. The callout also states "DeepSeek-V3.1 honours the full 131K," but the table shows DeepSeek-V3.1's real ceiling as 129,300, not the full 131,072 advertised.

Bash code block uses PowerShell-style line continuation.

Lines 186-188 end with a trailing backtick (`), which is PowerShell's line-continuation character, not bash's (\). Copy-pasted into an actual shell, this will fail — a stray backtick opens command substitution in bash/sh.

Codex CLI -c configuration precedence last wins model_provider base_url env_key wire_api

💡 Result:

In the Codex CLI, configuration values are resolved using a layered precedence system where later sources override earlier ones [1][2]. The general order of precedence (from weakest to strongest) is: 1. Built-in defaults [1][2][3] 2. System configuration (/etc/codex/config.toml) [4][3][5] 3. User configuration (~/.codex/config.toml) [2][3][5] 4. Project configuration (.codex/config.toml) [1][2][5] 5. Profile settings (via --profile) [1][2][4] 6. CLI flags and --config overrides [1][4][3] When configuring model providers within the [model_providers.] block of a configuration file, specific keys like base_url, wire_api, and env_key are subject to this hierarchy [6][7]. However, note the following important constraints: Built-in Provider Restrictions: The built-in model provider (e.g., openai) generally cannot have its parameters overridden by defining a [model_providers.openai] block in config.toml [8]. To use a custom base URL or configuration for a built-in provider, users typically must define a new, custom provider entry under a different name [8][9]. Environment Variable Overrides: Environment variables can act as specific overrides for certain settings [2]. For example, the base_url for the built-in openai provider can be overridden using the OPENAI_BASE_URL environment variable, even when config file overrides for that same provider are ignored [8][7]. wire_api usage: As of recent versions (post-February 2026), the "chat" wire_api is no longer supported [9][10]. Provider configurations should set wire_api = "responses" [9][10]. If this key is omitted, it defaults to "responses" [6][11].

Contain asset writes to the theme directory (path traversal via asset key).

Based on learnings, "Use only SCX_API_KEY for AI inference; never use OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or other provider API keys across any Kritical surface" — this explicitly generalizes past Anthropic/OpenAI to any non-SCX provider key, which covers THEGRID_API_KEY.

Secret embedded in Scheduled Task command line.

$gridKey is interpolated directly into the cmd.exe /c set "THEGRID_API_KEY=..." argument string used to register the Scheduled Task action. This persists the plaintext key inside the Task Scheduler definition on disk and exposes it in the cmd.exe process's command line while the task runs (readable via process/WMI enumeration by other local processes, not just admins). It's also unescaped — a " in the key value would break out of the quoted set and could alter the constructed command.

Consider having the launched process resolve THEGRID_API_KEY itself at runtime (e.g. a small wrapper script/exe that reads the secrets file directly and sets the env var in its own process before exec'ing litellm) so the secret never appears as a Scheduled Task argument or process command-line string.

Model-ceiling lookup relies on unordered hashtable enumeration + substring regex match.

$Model -match $key over $script:ModelCeilings.Keys is order-dependent (PowerShell @{} enumeration order is undefined) and -match does substring/regex matching, not exact matching.

Step-3 content-truncate mutates the caller's original $RequestBody in place.

When only the content-truncate step fires (no tool-trim/history-trim), $current is still the same object reference as the input $Body. $msgs = $current.messages aliases the caller's original array, and $msgs[$lastIdx] = @{...} mutates that shared array element directly; $current.messages = $msgs then writes the change back onto the caller's original hashtable. This silently corrupts the object the caller passed in, even though the function's contract implies it returns a trimmed copy.

Final synthesis call isn't isolated like the baseline/stream calls.

The baseline call (99-105) and each one(lens) stream (110-121) are wrapped in try/except specifically to isolate per-call failures (per the .5231 bughunt comments). The final synthesis scx(...) call is not, so a single network blip on the very last step throws away all the fan-out work that just succeeded, instead of reporting per-stream results with a clear "synthesis failed" note (as the sibling synthesize() in Invoke-KritScxMuxMatrix.py already does, wrapped in try/except at its call site).

chunks.content NOT NULL contradicts the file's own content-addressing design (and the runtime schema).

Line 24 declares content TEXT NOT NULL, but the comment three lines below (47-48) explicitly documents that "Chunk rows carry the sha reference and NULL content." This matches how store-mcp/kritical-chunk-store.mjs actually works: its ensure() creates chunks.content as plain nullable TEXT, and chunkFile() inserts content=NULL for every row (content-addressed storage lives in blobs, keyed by sha). If this canonical schema file is ever run verbatim to provision a fresh SQLite store, those inserts would fail with a NOT NULL constraint violation, breaking chunking entirely.

🐛 Proposed fix
-  content     TEXT NOT NULL,      -- the raw chunk text (external storage — NOT in the model window)
+  content     TEXT,               -- NULL when content-addressed (see blobs); legacy/inline rows may still carry raw text

apply leaks temp files and does not validate idx. The krit-apply-*.txt temp file written on Line 81 is never removed after runStore, so it accumulates in tmpdir. Additionally String(body.idx) yields "undefined" when idx is missing, which is passed straight to the store CLI.

applyChunk() writes are not transactional, unlike chunkFile()'s equivalent multi-statement sequence.

chunkFile() (lines 83-91) wraps its DELETE + blob/chunk inserts in BEGIN/COMMIT. applyChunk() performs an equally multi-step sequence — insert blob, update the target chunk, loop-renumber every other chunk's start_line/end_line, write the reassembled file to disk, then update files metadata — with no transaction at all. A crash or thrown error partway through (e.g., mid-renumbering loop) leaves the chunk table's line ranges inconsistent with each other and/or with the file already written to disk, undermining the "reassembles byte-safely" guarantee this store is built around.
