● # PR Review Summary
Status: Approve+Follow-Up
Strategic-Fit Decision
- Decision: Approve+Follow-Up
- Rationale: This is the right quick-win shape: it extends the already-merged #10661
focusSeedKeyprimitive to the newly observed Codex failure without widening into the medium-term app-server adapter. The only remaining uncertainty is empirical live behavior in collapsed-sidebar Codex, which is correctly listed as post-merge validation rather than hidden in the unit-test claim.Peer review of #10663. The branch is small, scoped to #10662, and preserves the existing harness split: Claude and Codex get the
spaceseed; Antigravity stays on the verifiedCmd+Shift+Ipath.

Depth Floor
Challenge: The one remaining assumption is that Space behaves for Codex collapsed-sidebar the same way it behaved for Claude Code: safe focus seed before destructive clear. The PR cannot prove that with unit tests alone; it can only prove that the daemon emits
activate -> Space -> Cmd+Afor Codex. That is acceptable here because the PR body explicitly keeps the live collapsed-sidebar bridge test as post-merge validation, and #10517 remains the cleaner non-UI delivery lane if Space does not close the row.Rhetorical-Drift Audit: Pass with one non-blocking note. The PR body and tests correctly state that Codex has no
Cmd+3/Code-tab shortcut and assert nokeystroke "3" using command down. The source ticket still contains one stale acceptance-criteria phrase aboutactivate < tab < space < clear; this PR intentionally avoids that. Since the PR body makes the corrected Codex ordering explicit, I am not treating the ticket wording mismatch as a required action.
Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: None observed. The diff reuses the existing #10661 primitive instead of inventing a new harness mechanism.[TOOLING_GAP]: Initial local Playwright run failed in the Codex sandbox withSqliteError: unable to open database filefor the bridge-daemon spec; rerunning the same related command with sandbox escalation passed. This matches the known SQLite/symlink sandbox trap, not a branch failure.[RETROSPECTIVE]: The prompt-landing matrix caught the Codex row before gate reactivation. This validates #10650's matrix-first discipline: positive Claude/Antigravity evidence did not mask a third-harness regression.
Provenance Audit
- Internal Origin: Internal incident evidence from #10649 and the same-session A2A coordination chain around
MESSAGE:d2f8dc1c-b329-4463-a896-8aad71c2ac5a/MESSAGE:93a1d01f-ce14-4def-bd0a-3a9b3c91dff6. The implementation mirrors the already-reviewed #10661 primitive rather than importing an external UI automation pattern.
Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified:
Resolves #10662- #10662 labels verified live via GitHub API:
bug,ai,regression,architecture; noepiclabel.- Syntax is newline-isolated and valid.
Findings: Pass.
MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
N/A — this PR does not touch
ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml.
Wire-Format Compatibility Audit
N/A — no JSON-RPC payload shape, database schema, or inter-agent wire format changes. The existing optional metadata field is reused.
Cross-Skill Integration Audit
Pass / N/A. This PR changes a per-harness bridge default, not a new workflow convention or skill trigger. The medium-term Codex app-server adapter remains anchored to #10517 and does not need to be folded into this quick win.

Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 — 5 points deducted because UI keystroke delivery remains an interim bridge path; the substrate-aligned end-state is still the Codex app-server adapter in #10517. Within the quick-win scope, it correctly extends the existing per-harness primitive.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 — 5 points deducted for the minor ticket/PR wording asymmetry around Codex tab ordering. The PR body, Anchor & Echo comment, and tests otherwise provide enough context and cite the empirical anchors.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — 5 points deducted because the decisive collapsed-sidebar behavior remains live post-merge validation. Static behavior, ordering, negative drift guard, metadata round-trip, diff hygiene, and related tests are green.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — I actively considered scope creep into app-server delivery, disabling subscriptions, and Antigravity/Claude changes; none are needed to satisfy #10662's quick-win objective.[IMPACT]: 80 — This is a small diff but high operational leverage: it is the remaining matrix-row fix blocking safe wake reactivation.[COMPLEXITY]: 25 — Low code complexity: one conditional extension plus focused unit coverage. The operational context is complex, but the shipped implementation is intentionally narrow.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — High ROI / low implementation complexity, with explicit post-merge empirical validation.Human-only merge reminder: approval here means merge eligibility, not agent merge authority.

Resolves #10662 Related: #10661 (Claude focus seed PR — substrate primitive this extends), #10649 (matrix execution that surfaced the regression), #10647 (Wake Incident Safety Tree epic — parent), #10650 (Wake Substrate Incident Protocol — reactivation evidence requirements gate this)
Mirrors PR #10661 verbatim for Codex. The collapsed-sidebar regression that #10649 matrix execution surfaced (Codex row red on 2026-05-03 ~19:43Z) is the same failure-mode class as the Claude pre-#10661 case: bridge wake reaches the app window via osascript, but composer focus is uncertain — the first
Cmd+Ain the destructive-clear sequence selects the wrong target (thread history instead of composer content).PR #10661 introduced the per-harness
focusSeedKeyprimitive precisely for this extension shape: future harnesses adopt the seed by extending the per-harness default conditional, not by re-architecting the bridge. This PR's bridge-daemon change is one line.Surface
ai/scripts/bridge-daemon.mjs(~10 lines: 1-line conditional change + Anchor & Echo block update). Extends thefocusSeedKey === undefined && appName === 'Claude'default to(appName === 'Claude' || appName === 'Codex'). Anchor & Echo block now cites the empirical Codex collapsed-sidebar regression + #10662 + #10649.test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/memory-core/services/WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs(~28 lines). Round-trip test for CodexharnessTargetMetadatawithfocusSeedKey: 'space'+tabShortcut: null, mirroring the existing Claude round-trip test.test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/bridge-daemon.spec.mjs(~95 lines). Ordering test for Codex (activate < space < clear) using the same mock-osascript pattern as the existing Claude ordering test. Plus a negative drift guard (not.toContain('keystroke "3" using command down')) — Codex has no Code-tab equivalent so the bridge must not emit a Cmd+3 keystroke. Distinct from Claude'sactivate < tab < space < clearorder.Deltas from ticket
None — the fix matches #10662's prescription verbatim. The Anchor & Echo update covers the trap reasoning the ticket called out (don't introduce a new primitive; extend the existing one).
