Makes codex-proxy warm/cache-friendly: conversation-keyed resumable codex exec sessions instead of a fresh --ephemeral exec re-flattening the full history on every turn.
Key: sha256(resolved model/effort + system prompt + first user message) — all the stateless proxy can recognise a conversation by.
First contact: full-history codex exec (no --ephemeral, so the rollout persists), session id captured from the thread.started event's thread_id in the --json stream, fedCount/fedHashes recorded.
Warm hit: the request must extend the fed prefix exactly (any change — including a changed system prompt — falls back to full); the proxy runs codex exec resume <id> with only the new non-assistant tail (the session already holds its own assistant replies).
Fallback: any resume failure → full-history fresh run, re-key, request still answered. Resume attempts are buffered so a fallback never duplicates streamed text; fresh runs stream live exactly as before.
State: session map persisted to sessions.json in the proxy state dir (same pattern as endpoint.json), LRU-bounded to 64 entries, 2h TTL.
node --test bin/codex-proxy.test.mjs — 10/10 pass: the 6 existing failure tests plus 4 new ones (resume feeds only the new tail; resume failure falls back to full history and still answers; changed system prompt bypasses resume; session map survives a proxy restart via sessions.json).
Deployment / measurement
Laptop before/after timings and live verification are being added in a follow-up comment once the warm build is deployed to the laptop user unit.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Conversations can now continue from a previous Codex session when the prompt history remains unchanged, reducing the need to resend earlier context.
Session continuity is retained across proxy restarts and expires after two hours.
Reliability
If a saved session can’t be resumed, the request automatically falls back to a fresh run with the full conversation history.
Streaming responses continue to display output as it arrives for fresh runs.
First turn of a conversation runs codex exec without --ephemeral and
captures the session id from the thread.started JSON event; later turns
run codex exec resume <id> with only the new non-assistant tail.
Key = sha256(resolved model/effort + system prompt + first user message).
Session map persisted to sessions.json in the proxy state dir
(LRU 64, 2h TTL). Any resume failure falls back to a full-history fresh
run and re-keys. syncCodexTokensToOpenCode, endpoint.json, port parsing
and SSE behaviour unchanged.
Tests: 4 new warm-session tests (resume tail-only, resume-failure
fallback, system-prompt change bypass, restart persistence) alongside
the existing #676/#680 failure tests — 10/10 pass.

Walkthrough
The proxy now persists Codex sessions and resumes eligible follow-up requests. It validates stored message history before resume, falls back to a fresh run when resume fails, and shares success and failure handling across both paths.
Changes: Codex session handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Persist session state and plan resumes bin/codex-proxy.mjs, bin/codex-proxy.test.mjs
The proxy stores session IDs and message hashes, applies a two-hour TTL and a 64-entry limit, and checks whether request history qualifies for resume. Tests cover changed system prompts and persistence across proxy restarts.
Run Codex and capture results bin/codex-proxy.mjs, bin/codex-proxy.test.mjs
runCodexOnce captures output, usage, session IDs, and failures. Fresh runs omit --ephemeral; resume runs use exec resume. The test stub supports both invocation types and simulated resume failure.
Orchestrate resume, fallback, and responses bin/codex-proxy.mjs, bin/codex-proxy.test.mjs
The request handler attempts resume with the new prompt tail, then runs the full history if resume fails. Shared response handling covers streaming and non-streaming results. Tests check resumed prompts and fallback behavior.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 542db
Conversations that share an opening message can be attached to the wrong Codex session and get wrong answers with no error. Cancelling a request during a warm resume also discards a good session and wastes a full-history run. Fix both before merge, or explicitly accept them.

Verify the previous assistant reply before resuming
When a client edits the latest assistant reply and submits a follow-up, this filter silently discards the edited reply and resumes with the original answer still in the session. recordSession hashes only the incoming request messages, so the newly generated assistant reply is outside the prefix checked above. For example, after [user: A] produces answer B, [user: A, assistant: edited B, user: C] passes validation but sends only C to the existing session. This makes the response depend on history different from the submitted conversation. Record and validate the generated assistant reply before treating it as already present; otherwise use a full-history run.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Stop fallback execution after the client disconnects
If the client disconnects during a warm resume, the response's close listener kills the resume child, but its failed result then falls through to this fresh execution. The close event has already fired, so the replacement child runs without a client and cannot be stopped by that listener. An integration check with a delayed resume reproduced the invocation sequence fresh, resume, fresh after cancellation. Track disconnection and return before launching the fallback so canceled requests do not continue consuming inference resources or updating the session cache.

Keep the exec-only color flag out of resume arguments
With codex-cli 0.163.0, checked locally, codex exec --help documents --color <COLOR>, but codex exec resume --help does not support that option. Running the constructed resume invocation returns error: unexpected argument '--color' found before executing the turn. Because commonArgs includes --color never, every warm attempt on this version fails and falls back to a full-history fresh run, defeating session reuse and adding a failed subprocess to each follow-up. Keep this flag in the fresh-execution arguments rather than passing it after the resume subcommand.

Check the assistant reply before you drop assistant messages from the resume tail.
planResume checks only the first fedCount messages. It then removes every assistant message from the tail without checking it. The code assumes the Codex session already holds every dropped assistant reply. That is true only when the tail starts with exactly one assistant message, and that message is the reply the session produced.
The keys can collide. conversationKey is built only from the model, the system text and the first user message, so two chats with the same opening share one key. The newest run overwrites the stored entry.
Example of a fork:
Chat A has a stored entry for [u1,a1,u2,a2,u3].
The user starts chat B with the same u1. recordSession replaces the entry with fedCount=1 and session S_B.
Chat A continues with [u1,a1,u2,a2,u3,a3,u4]. fedHashes[0] matches, so the tail [u2,u3,u4] resumes S_B. S_B contains B's reply and none of a1/a2/a3.
The request succeeds with a wrong answer and no error. Later turns of chat A stay attached to S_B.
The fix:
Store the reply text when you record a session.
Require messages[fedCount] to be an assistant message with that text.
Reject a tail that contains any other assistant message.
🐛 Proposed fix
- const tailMessages = messages.slice(entry.fedCount).filter(m => m.role !== 'assistant');- if (!tailMessages.some(m => m.role === 'user' || m.role === 'tool')) return null;+ const rest = messages.slice(entry.fedCount);+ // The session holds exactly one reply beyond what it was fed: the one it produced.+ if (+ rest[0]?.role !== 'assistant' ||+ typeof entry.replyHash !== 'string' ||+ crypto.createHash('sha256').update(messageText(rest[0])).digest('hex') !== entry.replyHash+ ) {+ return null;+ }+ const tailMessages = rest.slice(1);+ if (tailMessages.some(m => m.role === 'assistant')) return null;+ if (!tailMessages.some(m => m.role === 'user' || m.role === 'tool')) return null;
return { key, entry, tailMessages };
Update recordSession to save the reply hash. Pass result.content from both call sites:

Stop after a client disconnect. Do not delete the session or start the fallback run.
When the client disconnects during a resume, this sequence happens:
The res.on('close') handler sends SIGTERM to the resume child.
attempt.ok is false, so forgetSession(plan.key) deletes a session that worked.
The handler continues and starts a fresh run with the full history.
The close event has already fired, so no handler stops that second child. The full-history run therefore completes for a client that has gone. That is the cost this PR wants to remove, and it now happens on every cancel. The run also records a new session.
Fix: track the disconnect and check it before the fallback and before the fresh run.

Passing --color to 'codex exec resume' is a clap usage error (exit 2).
Probe on amd: resume with the shared option set minus --color succeeds,
re-emits thread.started with the same thread_id, and answers from the
resumed session.
Deploy route (deviation, deliberate): the codex-proxy.service user unit ExecStarts a nix-store copy of bin/, and a home-manager switch would rebuild the shared bin/ store path and restart everybin/* proxy. Instead the warm file was deployed to ~/code/bin/codex-proxy.mjs (the checkout home-manager builds from; backup at codex-proxy.mjs.pre-warm-20261024) and a user drop-in ~/.config/systemd/user/codex-proxy.service.d/warm-override.conf points ExecStart at it with the same nodejs. Only codex-proxy.service was restarted; opencode and other proxies untouched. Removing the drop-in returns to the store build; the next home-manager switch picks this file up natively.
Session-id capture (evidenced):codex exec --json (codex-cli 0.160.0) opens with {"type":"thread.started","thread_id":"01a16eaf-…"} — the proxy captures thread_id from that event. Two gotchas found by probing: fresh runs must drop --ephemeral (no rollout = nothing to resume), and exec resume rejects --color (clap usage error, exit 2), so resume uses the shared option set minus --color.
~/.local/state/codex-proxy/sessions.json persisted with fedCount=5.
Timings (curl time_total against the laptop proxy, model gpt-5.6-luna-low, identical two-turn probe with a fresh conversation key for AFTER, plus a third warm turn):

Wall-clock is dominated by Muse startup/MCP init (~40s+), so the win grows with history length: a direct resume probe showed cached_input_tokens 20352 / input_tokens 21920 (~93% cache hit) vs re-processing the full history. Note codex reports cumulative session token usage on resumed turns (turn 2 prompt_tokens 21787), which the proxy passes through as before.
