tracking: revisit native /armor slash alias when Codex slash surface stabilizes #51

Description

@Harihara04sudhan

Status: deferred (info-only tracking)

ArmorCodex intentionally has NO native /armor slash command today. Policy commands are typed as plain prompts with no leading slash (armor policy list), intercepted by the UserPromptSubmit hook, plus the policy_command MCP tool. This shipped in #41 / PR #42.

Why no slash today

Codex custom-prompts (~/.codex/prompts/*.md) are the only mechanism that expands to literal submitted text the hook can see, but they are:

Skills cannot do literal-text expansion, so they cannot deterministically produce the armor ... text the UserPromptSubmit hook matches on. Building a product slash command on a deprecated and regressed mechanism is not worth it.

This is the planned fallback, not a failure: Step 0 of the parity plan gated the trigger token on how Codex routes slash text; the finding was "no stable slash surface," so the non-slash + MCP path was taken. Everything else in the parity plan shipped as designed.

Revisit trigger

Reopen this work when EITHER:

What to do when revisiting

Ship a first-class slash alias in the plugin + installer whose body expands to armor $ARGUMENTS, so it flows straight into the existing hook path with zero parser changes. Verify the exact invocation token on the then-current Codex version before wiring the installer.
