prodex-session-prompt-write

Existing Prodex session bridge

Use prodex s expose from the same canonical workspace as the one plain prodex s session. The default MCP tools are:

• prodex_session_prompt_write({"message":"..."}) for Prompt Write;
• prodex_session_output_read({"cursor":"...","wait_ms":5000}) to read later sanitized visible user, assistant, tool, MCP/agent, and session/turn-status events.

For development requests, resolve the existing session first. Use prodex_session_prompt_write exactly once when one compatible plain prodex s exists, then read output with the returned prodex_pid, thread_id, and next_cursor. The unmodified Codex TUI is not required to render an externally queued follow-up; use Output Read for the authoritative machine-readable result. A fresh idle session is valid before its first manual prompt; the bridge verifies its live app-server thread and delivers the requested message through Codex. Start one prodex_super_start fallback only after an authoritative no_session result. Never start the existing-session and fallback paths in parallel, and never treat addressability, ambiguity, stale identity, queue, source, or verification errors as no_session.

Prompt Write may return an optional output_cursor anchor when the exact pre-write rollout source is known; fresh no-source sessions may return null. It may revalidate and retry once only when the control plane proves the first attempt was rejected before acceptance or failed during preflight. Inspect recovery_generation, last_prompt_requeued, and requeue_reason in the result. Accepted and ambiguous writes are never retried. write_ambiguous means delivery may have happened after a close, timeout, or malformed response. Never replay it automatically and make no exactly-once claim.

The two tools share one target identity. Require the same live OS user, canonical cwd, plain-session command, Prodex process birth identity, actual Codex writer ancestry/birth identity, Codex home authority, source identity, and thread UUID. Ambiguity, restart, source rotation, or a changed writer is a fail-closed error; never guess from the newest rollout.

Modern Codex thread authority is the writer's open thread-writer-locks/<UUID>.lock. Legacy authority is exactly one open rollout-...-<UUID>.jsonl. If both are present, their UUIDs must agree. A normal persisted session is required after writing. A fresh Codex 0.153.2 session may be held in the writer's live app-server until its first written message; the bridge verifies that exact live thread before writing and then revalidates persistence.

Output reads are bounded and cursor-based. Return only existing sanitized user-visible assistant/tool/status transcript events. Pages may contain bounded generic gap markers for malformed, invalid-UTF-8, or oversized records, and [text_truncated] when text is bounded. Impossible recovery returns recovery_failed. Never expose hidden reasoning, instructions, credentials, queue payloads, or raw rollout JSON. Never read a target PTY or /dev/pts, synthesize keystrokes, write SQLite queue rows, or start another solver/writer.
