Motivation

  • Prevent legitimate WSL installs written by older releases (which recorded Linux ~/.codex) from being treated as foreign after runtime WSL home discovery changed to a Windows Desktop path.
  • Restore repair/stop/uninstall usability for those legacy installs while keeping explicit CODEX_HOME authoritative.

Description

  • Add serviceCodexHomeMatchesInstall(recordedHome, deps) which accepts an exact legacy ~/.codex record when running under WSL with CODEX_HOME unset and otherwise enforces strict path equality.
  • Update assertServiceEnvironmentMatchesInstall() to use the compatibility-aware comparator for codexHome while preserving the existing OPENCODEX_HOME comparison logic.
  • Add a focused regression test in tests/codex-home-wsl.test.ts that verifies WSL Windows-home discovery and the legacy-Linux fallback acceptance and non-acceptance cases.
  • Document the narrowly scoped compatibility exception in structure/02_config-and-codex-home.md and leave all other foreign ownership records unmigrated.

Testing

  • Ran ./node_modules/.bin/bun test tests/codex-home-wsl.test.ts which passed (6/6).
  • Ran ./node_modules/.bin/bun run typecheck and ./node_modules/.bin/bun run privacy:scan which succeeded.
  • Ran ./node_modules/.bin/bun test tests/service.test.ts --timeout 15000 which showed 112 passing service tests and one unrelated pre-existing assertion failure in this checkout.
  • Verified git diff --check and committed the change as fix(service): accept legacy WSL ownership state.

Warning

Review limit reached

@luvs01, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 22 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

P1 Badge Preserve explicitly pinned Linux-home ownership

When a WSL service was intentionally installed with CODEX_HOME=/home/$USER/.codex, but that home has no config.toml—for example, because Codex integration was disabled—a later shell with CODEX_HOME unset can discover the sole Windows home. This fallback cannot distinguish that explicit install record from legacy implicit metadata and returns true, so repair silently rewrites the unit and state for the Windows home, while stop/uninstall restore the wrong home. Only accept the compatibility case when the installed launcher/state proves the original home was implicit.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

P2 Badge Compare against one Codex-home snapshot

In WSL, home discovery depends on live config.toml files and candidate directories, but assertServiceEnvironmentMatchesInstall() resolves actualCodexHome and then this call resolves it again inside serviceCodexHomeMatchesInstall(). If candidates change between those reads, the check can reject a matching record while reporting identical installed/current paths, or accept based on a different snapshot. Pass the already-resolved actualCodexHome into the compatibility comparison so ownership and diagnostics use the same result.
