supervisor: resume a prompt-less codex session on its registered thread - #826
Conversation
A codex session started without a kickoff prompt carries no "[agent-box session <id>]" marker, so codex_rollout_uuid finds nothing and a respawn or box update starts a fresh thread. A WhatsApp registration bound to the old thread is then left pointing at one nothing hosts. Fall back to the thread registered for the session in local-whatsapp's codex-threads.json, provided it is a well-formed UUID and its rollout is still on disk. The marker lookup still wins when it matches. Refs #825, #819 Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RZBL8MqNXVVnRmxR5DK5rU

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The registered-thread fallback is covered at the helper and selection levels, but its actual session-start command is not tested. The source wiring appears correct, so the remaining risk is bounded and suitable for follow-up. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fallback preserves existing target precedence and checks that the registered conversation exists.

Addressed the CodeRabbit nitpick: the test now covers a marker-less non-RC session falling back to the registered thread, marker precedence, the unregistered case, and that the fallback stays wired into |

Summary
[agent-box session <id>]marker, socodex_rollout_uuidfinds nothing and a respawn/box update starts a fresh thread. A WhatsApp registration bound to the old thread is left pointing at one nothing hosts, and the bridge keeps acking "routed to" (see WhatsApp receipts succeed but Codex delivery stalls on an unregistered session target #819).codex_registered_thread: when the marker lookup finds nothing, fall back to the thread registered for the session in~/.local/state/local-whatsapp/codex-threads.json. It is used only if it is a well-formed UUID and its rollout is still on disk; otherwise behaviour is unchanged (start fresh). The marker still wins when it matches.Refs #825, #819. This does not make the bridge notice a dead thread; that is the #819 side.
