fix(server): Codex /goal resume no longer fails with EmptyInput - #20247
/goal resume can fail with EmptyInput when Codex has already started a goal turn during thread resume. The adapter now claims that running turn, or holds the run for native goal activation, instead of submitting an empty turn/start. Explicit resume intent keeps native starts claimable while the goal read and settings update are pending, and Stop cancels that intent.
During activation, Stop resolves the resume’s claimed turn from the activation record. After activation, thread-wide Stop resolves the current native goal root or hold from existing adapter context, so projection lag cannot redirect it to earlier background work. Stop captures the requested and current goal lineage before pausing and follows continuations afterward. Activation keeps the hold open; inactive goals settle it.
Before activation, thread/settings/update applies the requesting run’s future-turn configuration without launching another turn. Resume failures cancel pending intent and settle any hold as interrupted. Waiting native work is paused and interrupted; owned work uses the existing Stop path, including descendant and retained-work cleanup. Cleanup errors are logged while the original resume error reaches the caller.
An already-running adopted turn keeps the model, approval policy, and sandbox it started with. Settings updates affect later turns. Successful resume adopts existing native work without restarting it.
Maintainer takeover of @fixfon’s change; original commits are preserved. Fixes#20232.
Verification on Linux:
All 175 tests in the existing adapter suite pass (173 before takeover). The four original resume tests were rewritten into six focused tests, including the shared failure/Stop scenario. Existing resume, goal Stop and restart coverage remains. One shared 19-case scenario covers read/settings/activation errors, Stop before and after claim, completion/continuation during pause, and a pause failure after native work was stopped. Five cases stop after startTurn returns successfully, with an earlier projected turn as the production thread-wide Stop target: adopted work, a synthetic hold, an adopted continuation, completion during pause, and continuation during pause. It checks original errors, interrupted settlement of owned work, no orphaned running projections and no duplicate native interrupt. Fail-before probes reproduce successful settlement after activation rejection and missed adopted work during activation. New probes against the prior production code reproduce missed adopted work and a synthetic hold reporting success after activation has returned.
Targeted lint, formatting, and server typecheck pass. Two existing adapter unused-variable warnings remain.
Authenticated Codex CLI 0.163.0 tests use disposable native threads and state. Paused and blocked goal activation applies updated model, approval and sandbox settings. Restart-active adoption attaches the already-running native turn and confirms that turn retains its original settings.
The actual modified adapter completes paused/blocked resume and restart-active adoption without native turn/start. Existing goal Stop and restart-continuation tests pass.
No UI or wire contract changed; focused tests and headless adapter runs provide before/after proof. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, packaged Electron desktop and older Codex versions were not verified here. Stop/fault interleavings use replay proof; event ingestion was not stalled in a live server. The T3 MCP collaboration-mode settings payload was not exercised live.
Implementation/tests: GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra through Codex in T3 Code. Independent reviews: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol.
Resuming a Codex goal started a native turn with no input, which Codex
rejects with EmptyInput. The run failed before the goal was reactivated,
and any turn Codex had already started kept running with no run attached.
Resuming now starts no turn of its own. The run takes over the turn Codex
already started on the thread, or else is held open while the goal is
reactivated and adopts the turn Codex starts next. If the goal stays
inactive the run settles right away.
Fixespingdotgg#20232
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a contained Codex orchestration bug fix that removes the invalid empty-input start and preserves existing goal continuation behavior through targeted turn adoption and hold logic. The added replay tests cover the affected resume scenarios without changing production behavior themselves.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The Codex adapter now tracks root turns without an owning run and adopts native work during /goal resume instead of starting a turn with empty input. It also updates Stop resolution, activation holds, and resume-failure cleanup. Replay tests cover adoption, cancellation, failures, inactive goals, and delayed activation.
Changes: Codex goal resume
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Track and resolve goal turns apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts
The adapter records unowned root turns and removes matching records when turns complete. Stop resolution now accounts for activations and held turns.
Activate and claim a goal turn apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts
During /goal resume, the adapter updates thread settings and claims an existing or subsequently started native turn. If no unowned turn is available, it holds a completed control turn during activation.
Manage activation holds and cleanup apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/CodexAdapterV2.test.ts
Hold grace begins after activation, and goal holds remain in place while activation is pending. Resume failures trigger cleanup based on turn ownership. Replay tests cover adoption, Stop, failure stages, inactive goals, and delayed activation.

Merge Risk: Low · up to bf210
/goal resume now adopts or holds native work instead of failing with EmptyInput. Two narrow gaps remain. Events that arrive before the resumed run claims an already-started turn can be lost. A later context compaction can restore outdated app context. Neither blocks the main resume flow, but both are worth addressing or accepting before merge.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 71674
Resuming a paused goal can now start continued work without applying the requesting run’s sandbox and approval settings. If the previous turn had broader permissions, resumed work may retain them. Normal adoption and completion paths are covered by replay tests, but this permission-transition case remains unresolved.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: When no native turn is running, resuming an inactive goal now activates continued execution without applying or checking the requesting run’s sandbox and approval policy. If the saved native settings are broader, the resumed goal can execute under that prior authority despite a stricter requested policy. This differs from merely adopting an autonomous turn that was already running before the command.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified exposure concerns the resumed native thread’s execution authority. With previously saved full-access settings, commands and filesystem operations may retain broader authority than the current run requests. Evidence does not establish additional cross-user or cross-environment reach.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — If an inactive goal retains permissive native settings while its resume input requests stricter controls, the newly successful activation path can continue goal-driven execution without those controls being reapplied. Goal content could consequently drive operations under the prior authority. Existing autonomous execution before adoption predates this PR and is not separately classified as an introduced issue.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Ownership association is scoped by native-thread identity and serialized during claiming. Existing handling pauses and interrupts a known active goal turn that starts without a run. Approval handlers mediate requests issued by Codex, but cannot impose a stricter sandbox or generate approval requests that the native policy omits.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Check effective native-policy compatibility before activating or claiming a resumed goal. If requested controls are stricter, refuse or pause resume until they can be enforced through a supported mechanism rather than silently inheriting broader permissions.

Explanation
The description is detailed and covers the problem, implementation, scope, linked issue, verification, test results, limitations, and maintainer takeover. It does not use the template headings exactly and does not quote an explicit approval comment, but it is substantially complete and directly related to the change.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The changes satisfy the coding requirements in directly linked issue #20232. CodexAdapterV2.ts records unowned native root turns and adopts a turn that Codex starts during /goal resume. If no turn exists, it holds the run for native goal activation instead of sending turn/start with empty input. The implementation tracks activation and Stop ownership, applies settings before later turns, settles failed resumes, and prevents orphaned native work. CodexAdapterV2.test.ts covers native-turn adoption, pending activation, Stop, failure cleanup, inactive goals, continuations, and the absence of turn/start.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production changes and tests remain connected to issue #20232. Activation holds, settings timing, Stop target resolution, interruption, continuation handling, and cleanup preserve the required tracked-run and consistent-state behavior when native work starts or resume fails. The changes are limited to CodexAdapterV2.ts and its adapter tests. No unrelated product area or separate issue scope is demonstrated.

- Around line 5993-5995: Update the unowned-turn completion handler around
`unownedRootTurns` to perform its lookup and finalization under the same
`turnTerminalizationPermit` serialization used by `claimGoalTurn` and
`registerRootTurn`, so completion cannot be lost while a claim is in progress.
- Line 6269: Update the turn registration flow around registerRootTurn and
claimGoalTurn to preserve events received before the turn enters activeTurns.
Register or buffer events for the unowned turn before attaching the run, then
replay or process them once the turn is registered so item/started events and
native approval requests are not dropped.
- Line 6266: Update the resumed-goal path around completeGoalCommandTurn so its
synthetic turn does not start the five-second continuation grace period before
thread/goal/set completes. Keep the initial resume hold until activation
establishes an inactive goal or a resumed turn is available to attach, then
apply the post-turn grace period as appropriate.

In case a real-server check helps: this reproduces on main cfafb4b (not this branch), Linux, Codex CLI 0.163.0.
With a goal active on a Codex thread, restart the T3 server with continueThreadsAfterServerUpdate off.
Send /goal resume. T3 sends thread/resume, Codex emits turn/started (inProgress) 288 ms later, then T3's empty turn/start gets EmptyInput. The run fails and the goal stays active.
With no native turn running (paused goal, idle thread), the same command did not fail on 0.163.0: Codex accepted the empty turn/start.
…tive
The 5 second wait for Codex to start the next goal turn began when the
resume run was held, before thread/goal/set had returned. If reactivating
the goal took longer than that, the run settled first, and the turn Codex
started afterwards was paused and interrupted as having no run.
The wait now starts once the goal activation has finished. The same applies
to /goal when its first turn ends before the goal is active.
Taking over this one as maintainer for batch codex-07. I will rebuild the goal-resume behavior against current main, minimize the regression coverage, verify provider behavior where available, and run independent reviews. Original history and credit will be preserved; this stays unmerged.
…-empty-input-20232
Resolve CodexAdapterV2 conflicts onto main's continuedRuns/latestRunTurnId
names, null-reply goal command turns, goalUpdatesHeld, the set-goal prompt
and the orphan-goal pause in the continuation grace (now shared through
startGoalHoldGrace). Resume settings now carry collaborationMode like
turn/start does. Tests take main's harness and add NodeCrypto.layer.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Use named Effect.fn spans for the new goal I/O helpers.
pauseGoal and stopGoalTurnWithoutRun are reusable helpers. Each one sends Codex RPCs (thread/goal/set, turn/interrupt). Both are plain arrow functions that return effects, so neither creates a span. The resume-failure cleanup and the orphan-turn stop path then have no trace of these calls. Wrap both helpers in Effect.fn("CodexAdapterV2.pauseGoal") and Effect.fn("CodexAdapterV2.stopGoalTurnWithoutRun"). Pass the Effect.catch combinators after the generator body. startGoalHoldGrace (Lines 6090-6098) has the same shape.
As per coding guidelines, "Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation"), not an arrow or declaration returning Effect.gen" and "Default to named spans for service operations and I/O."

Preserve the run’s app context on goal resume
If an MCP app updates or removes its context before /goal resume, this branch discards the current context. A later compaction can inject the old context again, so the goal can continue with outdated app state. Ensure the resumed run receives the current context and that restoration uses the appropriate context.

The existing blocked-goal variant was not exercised; both runs started with an active unfinished goal.
No wire-protocol capture was collected, so adoption without an additional turn/start was not directly demonstrated.
Native work continuing after the base failure was not independently observed.
Stop was verified through the head app's interrupted run and paused goal state; native process termination was not independently traced.
