Summary

  • Carries #4529 by @Voyagerroc-Lab (source head d743cf82f7ddc6384c4c944bc5585cfffb72b5f3). That PR is a 0/4 draft whose fork CI never executed; this is a maintainer carry onto current dev, not a close of fix(cli): refuse an in-place restart through a different-version CLI #4529. Attribution is the Co-authored-by trailer on the branch commit.
  • Refs [Bug]: a newer ocx restart respawns an older standalone proxy from its old installation #4522. ocx restart delegates to the live proxy through POST /api/system/restart. For an unsupervised proxy the replacement is spawned with selfLaunchArgv(), which reuses the live process's own process.execPath and argv[1]. A restart accepted from a different-version CLI therefore respawns the old installation while reporting success.
  • The invoking CLI already reads the proxy app version from the attested /healthz body, and doctor/status already compare it via computeVersionSkew(). requestBoundSystemRestart now reuses that comparison and refuses before POST with restart_version_skew when the CLI version and the attested proxy version differ in either direction. reportRestartFailure prints the documented ocx stop then ocx start from this installation.
  • Placeholder versions unknown and 0.0.0 stay incomparable rather than mismatched, so the restart path is kept (dev bundles and version-less proxies).
  • Beyond the carried diff: the CodeRabbit-asked "unknown" health-version regression sits beside the carried "0.0.0" placeholder case and asserts the restart is accepted with both the /healthz request and the POST. structure/runtime.md records the restart-verb refusal on the src/cli/index.ts lifecycle row.
  • One deliberate deviation from the upstream diff, folded from the carry's adversarial counter-read: the skew guard reads the own-bundle version through a try/catch (ownCliVersion()) so a missing/corrupt local package.json is "cannot compare" instead of an unhandled throw on the restart verb. Known refusal edges kept deliberately consistent with doctor's comparison semantics: versions differing only in build metadata, and a degenerate empty-string health version, both refuse. Follow-up material, not blockers.
  • Files: src/cli/index.ts, src/cli/system-restart-client.ts, tests/cli/system-restart-client.test.ts, structure/runtime.md. No wire-contract / HMAC capability version change; supervised services are unaffected.

Verification

  • local product suite, typecheck, build and install NOT RUN
  • The only proof is hosted Cross-platform CI at the exact head SHA, dispatched via gh workflow run ci.yml --ref codex/260914-l4-carry-4529-version-skew -F lane=all.
  • Cross-platform CI run 34775280313 (pull_request, lane=all) success on exact head a523f0f04996b1cd8a0abf13de7592875ecf457c, all 20 jobs green. A duplicate workflow_dispatch run (34775286611) on the same SHA was cancelled; the push to the open PR had already queued the pull_request run, which is the proof run.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Carries #4529 by Voyagerroc-Lab, re-authored on current dev.

An in-place restart respawns the live process from its own installation,
so a restart accepted from a different-version CLI keeps the old build
serving while reporting success (#4522). The restart client now reuses
doctor's computeVersionSkew comparison (CLI package version vs the
attested /healthz version) and refuses before POST with
restart_version_skew; placeholder versions (unknown/0.0.0) stay
incomparable and keep the restart path.

Adds the CodeRabbit-asked regression: an "unknown" health-version case
beside the carried "0.0.0" placeholder case, asserting the restart is
accepted and both requests are made. structure/runtime.md records the
restart-verb refusal on the src/cli/index.ts lifecycle row.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The restart client now compares the CLI version with the proxy’s /healthz version before POST. It rejects version skew, reports stop/start instructions, allows matching versions, and treats unknown and 0.0.0 as incomparable.

Changes

Restart version guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version comparison and restart rejection
src/cli/system-restart-client.ts
The client resolves the CLI version, compares it with the proxy version, and returns restart_version_skew without POST when the versions differ.
Restart failure reporting and runtime contract
src/cli/index.ts, structure/runtime.md
The CLI reports stop/start instructions for version skew. The runtime table documents version matching and placeholder handling.
Version guard validation
tests/cli/system-restart-client.test.ts
Tests cover mismatched versions, matching versions, and unknown or 0.0.0 proxy versions. Tests also verify request counts.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a523f

The restart guard is implemented, but its user-facing stop/start guidance has a bounded regression risk because the command path is not tested.

P1 Badge Preserve direction-specific skew remediation

When this CLI is older than a standalone live proxy—for example CLI 2.54 with proxy 2.55—this message instructs the operator to stop the newer proxy and start this older installation, effectively downgrading it. That contradicts computeVersionSkew(), which correctly tells an older CLI to upgrade or resolve PATH; preserve the skew direction in the rejection so only the newer-CLI/older-proxy case recommends stop/start.

P1 Badge Document the version-skew restart refusal

This adds a definite failure for an otherwise successfully attested proxy, but docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md still says a running proxy is restarted in place and only describes refusal for unattested/pre-update proxies. Update that lifecycle section and its translated counterparts with the new version-skew behavior and direction-appropriate remediation so the public workflow does not contradict the CLI.

이 PR은 ocx restart다른 버전 CLI로 들어왔을 때, 살아 있는 unsupervised 프록시를 그 프록시 자기 설치로 다시 띄우는 실수를 막습니다. 이슈 #4522를 고치고, Voyagerroc-Lab의 초안 #4529를 현재 dev 위에 메인테이너가 다시 올린 캐리입니다. 지금 로컬 dev HEAD는 6d2e1af6c(스냅샷과 동일)이고, 직전 큰 줄은 #4533 기여자 캐리 트레인 아카이브입니다. 그 앞에는 #4531 history preflight, #4515 웹검색 패스스루, #4520 데스크톱 재시작 검증이 있습니다. 이 PR은 그 문서·릴리즈 열차와는 다른 축입니다. CLI 생명주기 / 버전 스큐입니다. base는 dev입니다.

문제의 줄은 짧습니다. unsupervised 프록시에서 POST /api/system/restart가 받아들여지면, 서버는 src/server/management/system-restart.ts에서 selfLaunchArgv()process.execPath지금 돌아가는 프로세스의 설치를 다시 spawn합니다. 그래서 PATH에 있는 새 ocx(예: 2.53.0)가 옛 프록시(예: 2.49.0)에게 restart를 보내면, PID는 바뀌고 성공처럼 보이지만 /healthz 버전은 옛 빌드 그대로입니다. doctor/status는 이미 computeVersionSkew()로 CLI 패키지 버전과 attested /healthz 버전을 비교합니다. 그런데 restart 경로만 그 비교를 쓰지 않았습니다.

이 PR은 src/cli/system-restart-client.tsrequestBoundSystemRestart에서, attestation과 restartCapability 확인이 끝난 뒤·POST 전에 computeVersionSkew(deps.cliVersion ?? ownCliVersion(), proxyVersion)를 돌립니다. skewed이면 restart_version_skew로 거절하고 POST를 하지 않습니다. placeholder unknown / 0.0.0은 doctor와 같이 비교 불가라서 거절하지 않고 기존 restart 경로를 둡니다(개발 번들·버전 없는 프록시). ownCliVersion()packageVersion()을 try/catch로 감싸서, 로컬 package.json이 없거나 깨져도 restart 동사가 터지지 않고 "unknown"으로 비교 불가가 됩니다. 업스트림 #4529와 다른 의도된 한 점입니다.

src/cli/index.tsreportRestartFailurerestart_version_skew 분기가 생깁니다. “이 설치에서 ocx stopocx start하라”고 적습니다. in-place restart가 옛 설치를 다시 띄우니까, 문서화된 수동 stop/start로 새 CLI 설치를 쓰게 하는 안내입니다. structure/runtime.mdsrc/cli/index.ts lifecycle 행에 그 거절을 한 줄로 기록합니다. 와이어·HMAC capability 버전은 안 바꿉니다. supervised 서비스는 이 spawn 경로를 타지 않으니 영향이 없습니다.

테스트는 tests/cli/system-restart-client.test.ts에 네 덩어리를 더합니다. (1) CLI↔proxy가 다르면(양방향 + fixture "test" vs semver) restart_version_skew이고 요청은 /healthz 한 번뿐·POST 없음. (2) 버전이 같으면 수락·요청 두 번. (3) proxy 0.0.0, (4) proxy unknown은 비교 불가라 수락. 기존 successfulDeps()cliVersion: "test"를 넣어 스큐 가드가 happy path를 막지 않게 했습니다. CodeRabbit이 물었던 "unknown" 회귀도 들어 있습니다. types.ts/config.ts 분리 캠페인과 겹치지 않습니다.

경로/심볼 - src/cli/system-restart-client.ts skew 가드 - attestation·capability 확인 , live recheck·POST 에 있어서, 능력 없는 옛 프록시는 기존 restart_capability_unsupported가 먼저 나갑니다. 순서가 맞습니다.
경로/심볼 - computeVersionSkew 재사용 - doctor/status와 같은 비교라 “진단은 스큐인데 restart는 통과” 불일치가 사라집니다. 올바른 축입니다.
경로/심볼 - build metadata만 다른 버전·빈 문자열 health version - 본문이 말한 대로 doctor 의미와 같게 거절합니다. placeholder가 아니라 follow-up 가장자리이지, 이번 버그(#4522) 차단기는 아닙니다.
경로/심볼 - ownCliVersion() try/catch - 읽기 실패를 crash가 아니라 "unknown"(비교 불가)으로 두는 선택이 캐리 반독에 맞습니다.
경로/심볼 - #4529 - 0/4 draft·포크 CI 미실행이라 이 캐리로 dev에 올리는 판단이 맞습니다. merge 후 원본은 Landed via #4545로 닫는 편이 standing carry 규칙과 같습니다.
경로 CI - 본문 Verification은 로컬 suite 미실행이고, 증거는 head a523f0f0 Cross-platform CI run 34775286611입니다. 이 리뷰 시점에는 그 run이 queued이고 PR checks도 다수 pending입니다. merge 전에 초록을 확인해야 합니다.
경로/심볼 - #4522 - Fixes는 본문에 Refs로만 있으나 재현( Mise 2.49 프록시 + 2.53 CLI restart → 옛 버전 유지)과 가드가 맞습니다. merge 시 이슈 close를 명시할지 정하면 됩니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • Cross-platform CI(run 34775286611 및 PR checks)가 초록이 될 때까지 기다릴지
  • merge 직후 draft #4529에 Landed via #4545 at <commit> + landed-via-maintainer로 닫을지(캐리 본문은 “close of #4529가 아니다”라고 적어 두었음)
  • #4522를 PR body에 Fixes로 넣어 자동 close할지, 수동으로 닫을지
  • build-metadata-only / 빈 문자열 health version 거절을 이 PR에서 완화할지, doctor와 맞춘 채 follow-up으로 둘지

너의 추천
CI가 초록이면 merge하라. #4522의 실제 발(새 CLI restart가 옛 unsupervised 설치를 다시 띄움)을 doctor와 같은 스큐 비교로 POST 전에 끊고, placeholder는 열어 두며, 테스트·runtime.md·실패 안내가 한 세트다. base는 dev 유지. types/config 분리와 무관하니 close-don't-rebase 대상이 아니다. merge 후 #4529는 landed-via로 닫고, #4522도 같이 닫아라. metadata-only·빈 문자열 가장자리는 이 PR에 넣지 말고 follow-up으로 남겨라. 2.54.0 승격 열차와 순서를 섞지 말고 lifecycle 수리로 단독 landing이 안전하다.

Add a CLI-path test for version-skew reporting

ocx restart passes failed requests to reportRestartFailure, where restart_version_skew prints the mismatch message and ocx stop/ocx start guidance (src/cli/index.ts:727-762). The existing tests assert only the client error code (tests/cli/system-restart-client.test.ts:150-177), while CLI restart tests cover help only (tests/cli/cli-restart-health.test.ts:257-389). Add a CLI-path test that injects version skew and asserts both remediation messages.

Integrating this through the maintainer self-integration path in MAINTAINERS.md rather than on another maintainer's approval, and recording that choice here as that section requires.

Exact-head evidence: Cross-platform CI run 34775280313 completed success at a523f0f04996b1cd8a0abf13de7592875ecf457c, which is the current head. The local product suite, typecheck, build and install were deliberately NOT RUN anywhere in this lane; hosted CI at that SHA is the only proof and is the only proof that could exist, since a fresh lane worktree has no node_modules.

Corroborating evidence for the carried change itself: the original PR #4529 also went green today at its own head d743cf82f, run 34767250057. That run had never executed before — the fork workflow sat at action_required from the day it was opened — so the version-skew refusal has now been verified twice by repository CI, once on the contributor's branch and once here with the additional regression.

Why this carries rather than merging #4529 directly: #4529 is a draft whose readiness checklist stands at 0/4, and the gate binds completion to an exact head, so any push there resets it. The reviewer ask it never satisfied was an unknown health-version case parallel to the 0.0.0 placeholder. That placeholder exists only inside #4529's own head — dev has no such test — so this branch brings the placeholder along and authors the unknown case beside it.

Attribution is in the branch commit, not only in prose: Co-authored-by trailers name both Voyagerroc-Lab and Voyagerroc-Code, and the squash below preserves them. #4529 will be closed with credit once this lands.
