Results delivered to WhatsApp or Telegram automatically. ## Important: Codex = General AI Agent Codex is NOT just a coding tool. In `codex exec` mode it is a general-purpose AI agent with file access, shell execution, optional web search, and deep reasoning. Use it for: - **Research** — web search, synthesis, competitive analysis, user experience reports - **Coding** — create tools, scripts, APIs, refactor codebases - **Analysis** — read and analyze files, data, logs, source code - **Content** — write docs, reports, summaries - **Automations** — complex multi-step workflows with filesystem access Give it prompts the same way you'd talk to a smart human — natural language, focused on WHAT you need, not HOW to do it. **NOT for:** - Quick questions - Tasks needing real-time back-and-forth ## Quick Start ## What "run tests" means for this skill (critical) When user asks things like: - "прогони все тесты" - "run tests" - "проверь что всё работает" it means **run the full E2E operator validation flow** for `run-task.py` routing + notifications. It does **NOT** mean plain `pytest`/`unittest` discovery by default. Required behavior: 1. Run routing validation first (`--validate-only`). 2. Launch smoke/E2E scenario via `nohup` and file-based prompt. 3. Wait for completion through normal async flow, not same-turn blocking. 4. Report PASS/FAIL against E2E criteria: routing, heartbeat, mid-task update, completion delivery. Use the canonical protocol: **[references/testing-protocol.md](references/testing-protocol.md)** and the section below **Full E2E Test (reference)**. ## Async Boundary Rule (mandatory) `run-task.py` is asynchronous orchestration. After a successful `nohup` launch, the correct behavior is: 1. Send a short launch acknowledgment (PID/log/session) 2. **Stop this turn immediately** 3. Continue only when wake/completion event arrives in the same session Do **not** keep waiting in the same turn for Codex completion. Do **not** poll and then summarize in the same turn unless user explicitly asked for active live monitoring. Anti-pattern: - ❌ Launch `run-task.py` and keep responding as if completion should appear in this turn Correct pattern: - ✅ Launch `run-task.py` → acknowledge launch → stop → wait for wake ## Launch Confirmation Gate (mandatory) Never claim "launched" until you have **positive launch proof**. Required proof checklist: 1. `nohup` command returned a PID 2. process is alive (`ps -p `) 3. run log contains `🔧 Starting OpenAI Codex...` or equivalent startup marker 4. routing was validated (`--validate-only`) for Telegram thread runs If launch fails with `❌ Invalid routing`: - resolve via `sessions_list` - rerun with explicit routing/session arguments if needed - re-check proof checklist - only then send launch acknowledgment ## Pre-launch planning note (mandatory) Before launching Codex, post a short plan in chat: - how you plan to solve the task - what result you expect from this run - any clarifying assumptions - whether you expect one iteration or staged follow-up If staged: explicitly say this run is "phase 1" and what signal decides phase 2. ## Telegram Thread Safety (must-follow) For Telegram thread runs, `run-task.py` is designed to either route correctly or fail immediately. ### Mandatory step before launch Resolve the **current runtime session key** first, then launch with it. - Get current key via `sessions_list` or runtime context - If key is `agent:main:main:thread:` → use it directly in `--session` - Never derive `--session` from `chat_id` / sender heuristics ### Rules - Use only `--session "agent:main:main:thread:"` for thread tasks - Never use `agent:main:telegram:user:` for thread tasks - If routing metadata is inconsistent, script exits with `❌ Invalid routing` - Default mode is `--telegram-routing-mode auto` - Force strict thread-only behavior with `--telegram-routing-mode thread-only` - Force non-thread behavior with `--telegram-routing-mode allow-non-thread` or `--allow-main-telegram` This is intentional: **abort fast > silent misroute** ⚠️ **ALWAYS launch via nohup** — exec timeout will kill the process otherwise. ⚠️ **NEVER put the task text directly in the shell command** — save the prompt to a file first, then use `$(cat file)`. ### WhatsApp ```bash # Step 1: Save prompt to a temp file write /tmp/codex-prompt.txt with your task text # Step 2: Launch with $(cat ...) nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "agent:main:whatsapp:group:" \ --timeout 900 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` ### Telegram (thread-safe default) ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --timeout 900 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` > Do **NOT** use `agent:main:telegram:user:` for thread tests/runs. ### Telegram Threaded Mode (1:1 DM with threads) When OpenClaw is used in Telegram threaded mode, each thread has its own session key like `agent:main:main:thread:369520`. **Fail-safe routing (NEW):** `run-task.py` now enforces strict thread routing. - If `--session` contains `:thread:`, the script **refuses to start** unless Telegram target + thread session UUID are resolved. - It auto-resolves missing values from `sessions_list` when possible. - If the session is inactive and not returned by API, it falls back to local session files: `~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/*-topic-.jsonl`. - If provided `--notify-session-id` mismatches the session key, it exits with error. - Result: misrouted launches/heartbeats to main chat are blocked before Codex starts. Use `--notify-session-id` to wake the exact thread session: ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:369520" \ --timeout 900 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` All 5 notification types route to the DM thread when `--session` key contains `:thread:` ✅ - `--notify-session-id` — optional override. Usually auto-resolved from session metadata/files. - `--notify-thread-id` — optional override. Usually auto-extracted from `--session`. - `--reply-to-message-id` — optional debug field; avoid for DM thread routing. - `--validate-only` — resolve routing and exit (no Codex run). Use this to verify thread launch args safely. - `--notify-channel` — optional channel hint (`telegram`/`whatsapp`); target is always auto-resolved from session metadata. - `--timeout` — max runtime in seconds (default: 7200 = 2 hours) - `--completion-mode` — optional legacy hint (`single` default, `iterate` if explicitly needed) - `--max-iterations` — optional budget hint when using iterate mode - `--trace-live` — emit live technical trace markers into the same chat/thread (debug mode) - Always redirect stdout/stderr to a log file ### Why file-based prompts? Research/complex prompts contain single quotes, double quotes, markdown, backticks — any of these break shell argument parsing. Saving to a file and reading with `$(cat ...)` avoids all quoting issues. ## Channel Detection The `detect_channel()` function determines where to send notifications: 1. **Deterministic auto-resolve** — target is resolved from session metadata/session key (no manual target flag) 2. **WhatsApp auto-detect** — if the session key contains `@g.us` (WhatsApp group JID), WhatsApp is used 3. **Fail fast on unresolved Telegram target** — script exits with `❌ Invalid routing` instead of silent misroute ```python def detect_channel(session_key): if NOTIFY_CHANNEL_OVERRIDE and NOTIFY_TARGET_OVERRIDE: return NOTIFY_CHANNEL_OVERRIDE, NOTIFY_TARGET_OVERRIDE jid = extract_group_jid(session_key) if jid: return "whatsapp", jid return None, None ``` ## How It Works ``` ┌─────────────┐ nohup ┌──────────────┐ │ Agent │ ──────────────▶│ run-task.py │ │ (OpenClaw) │ │ (detached) │ └─────────────┘ └──────┬───────┘ │ ▼ ┌──────────────┐ │ Codex │ │ codex exec │ └──────┬───────┘ │ ┌───────────┼───────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ Every 60s On complete On error/timeout ┌────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ ⏳ ping │ │ ✅ result │ │ ❌/⏰/💥 error│ │ silent │ │ channel │ │ channel │ └────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────────┘ ``` ### WhatsApp notification flow 1. Heartbeat pings every 60s → WhatsApp direct 2. Final result → WhatsApp direct + `sessions_send` 3. Agent receives completion payload → processes it → sends summary ### Iterative continuation mode (wake behavior) `--completion-mode` is optional and acts as a hint: - `single` = one run → continuation summary → stop - `iterate` = continuation summary + exactly one next iteration when gaps remain Wake payload frames continuation as the **same ongoing OpenClaw conversation** after Codex replies to the previous launch. In `iterate` mode: - react briefly to Codex result - evaluate goal completion - if gaps remain: explain next fix and launch exactly one follow-up iteration - if complete: report final outcome and stop ### Deterministic wake guard (anti-duplicate) - Each run carries `run_id` and `wake_id` - `run-task.py` keeps per-project state in `/tmp/codex-orchestrator-state-.json` - Duplicate/stale wakes are skipped before delivery ### No silent launch policy (always-on) - Silent launch is forbidden (not only in debug mode). - On wake, agent must first post a visible decision turn: - `[TRACE][AGENT][WAKE_RECEIVED] ...` - `[TRACE][AGENT][DECISION] continue|stop ...` - Only after that visible decision may the next Codex iteration be launched. ### Telegram notification flow (DM Threaded Mode — full pipeline) 1. 🚀 **Launch notification** → thread ✅ (silent; HTML; `

` for prompt; via `send_telegram_direct`; includes `Resume: `) 2. ⏳ **Heartbeat** (every 60s) → thread ✅ (silent; plain text; via `send_telegram_direct`) 3. 📡 **Codex mid-task updates** → thread ✅ (on-disk Python script `/tmp/codex-notify-{pid}.py`; Codex calls file; prefix `"📡 🟢 Codex: "` auto-added) 4. ✅/❌/⏰/💥 **Result notification** → thread ✅ (HTML; `
` for result; via `send_telegram_direct`) 5. 🤖 **Agent continuation reply** → delivered to chat via `openclaw agent --deliver` ✅ (same session continuation is visible to user) **`send_telegram_direct()`** is the core mechanism for all thread-targeted notifications from external scripts. It calls `api.telegram.org` directly with `message_thread_id` — bypasses the OpenClaw message tool entirely (which cannot route to DM threads from outside a session context). **Fallback** — if agent wake fails (session locked/busy): `already_sent=True` is set after the direct send, so no duplicate is sent. ### Key detail: Telegram vs WhatsApp delivery **WhatsApp:** Raw result sent directly (human sees it immediately) + `sessions_send` wakes agent for analysis. **Telegram:** Result sent via `send_telegram_direct` → then agent is woken via `openclaw agent --session-id --deliver` so the continuation turn is visible in chat by default. This is the intended “same agent, same conversation” behavior after Codex completion. **Why not `sessions_send` for Telegram?** `sessions_send` is blocked in the HTTP `/tools/invoke` deny list by architectural design. The `openclaw agent` CLI bypasses this limitation. ### Telegram DM Threads vs Forum Groups Telegram has two distinct thread models. The key difference for `run-task.py` is how to route messages to the thread. **The core problem with external scripts:** - The OpenClaw `message` tool's `threadId` parameter is **Discord-specific** — ignored for Telegram - Target format `"chatId:topic:threadId"` is rejected by the message tool's target resolver - Session auto-routing works only inside active sessions — external scripts have no session context - **Solution:** `send_telegram_direct()` bypasses the message tool entirely; calls `api.telegram.org` directly with `message_thread_id` **DM Threaded Mode** (bot-user private chat with threads): - All notifications use `send_telegram_direct(chat_id, text, thread_id=..., parse_mode=...)` ✅ - `thread_id` auto-extracted from session key `*:thread:` by `extract_thread_id()` - Launch + finish: `parse_mode="HTML"` with `
` for prompt/result - Heartbeats + mid-task: `parse_mode=None` (plain text, avoid Markdown parse errors) - **`parse_mode="Markdown"` trap**: finish messages contain `**text**` (CommonMark bold); Telegram MarkdownV1 rejects this with HTTP 400 — messages silently don't arrive - **`replyTo` trap**: combining `replyTo` + `message_thread_id` can cause Telegram to reject the request or route incorrectly - Agent continuation reply: `openclaw agent --session-id --deliver` publishes the wake turn to chat so the user sees the same ongoing assistant conversation **Forum Groups** (supergroup with Forum topics enabled): - Same `send_telegram_direct()` approach works; `message_thread_id` is standard Bot API for Forum topics - Auto-detected from session key pattern `*:thread:` **Codex mid-task updates:** - Do NOT embed bot tokens or curl commands in the task prompt - `run-task.py` writes `/tmp/codex-notify-{pid}.py` to disk before launching Codex - Task prompt prepended with `[Automation context: ... python3 /tmp/codex-notify-{pid}.py 'msg' ...]` - Codex calls the file as a normal local script - Script automatically prepends `"📡 🟢 Codex: "` to all messages; cleaned up in `finally` block ## Reliability Features ### Timeout (default 2 hours) - `--timeout 7200` → after 7200s: SIGTERM → wait 10s → SIGKILL - Timeout notification sent to channel with tool call count and last activity - Partial output saved to file ### Crash safety - `try/except` wraps entire main → crash notification always sent - Both channel notification and agent wake attempted on any failure ### PID tracking - PID file written to `skills/codex-cli-task/pids/` - Stale PIDs cleaned on startup - Can check running tasks: `ls skills/codex-cli-task/pids/` ### Silent mode (Telegram only) Telegram supports silent notifications (no sound). Current policy: **all Codex notifications are silent** in Telegram: - Heartbeat pings → `silent=True` - Launch notifications → `silent=True` - Mid-task updates (`📡 🟢 Codex`) → `silent=True` - Final results → `silent=True` - Wake-summary instruction requests `silent=True` WhatsApp does NOT support silent mode — the flag is ignored for WhatsApp. ### Notification types | Event | Emoji | WhatsApp delivery | Telegram delivery | DM thread? | |-------|-------|-------------------|-------------------|------------| | Launch | 🚀 | send_channel (Markdown) | send_telegram_direct (HTML, silent) | ✅ message_thread_id | | Heartbeat | ⏳ | send_channel (Markdown) | send_telegram_direct (plain, silent) | ✅ message_thread_id | | Codex mid-task update | 📡 | — | /tmp/codex-notify-{pid}.py (Bot API, silent) | ✅ message_thread_id | | Success | ✅ | send_channel + sessions_send | send_telegram_direct (HTML) + openclaw agent | ✅ message_thread_id | | Error | ❌ | send_channel + sessions_send | send_telegram_direct (HTML) + openclaw agent | ✅ message_thread_id | | Timeout | ⏰ | send_channel + sessions_send | send_telegram_direct (HTML) + openclaw agent | ✅ message_thread_id | | Crash | 💥 | send_channel + sessions_send | send_telegram_direct (HTML) + openclaw agent | ✅ message_thread_id | | Agent continuation reply | 🤖 | — | openclaw agent wake (`--deliver`) | ✅ visible in chat | ## Codex CLI Flags - `exec "task"` — non-interactive run - `resume "task"` — continue a previous Codex session - `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` — no confirmation prompts - `--experimental-json --output-last-message` — real-time activity tracking + final output capture - `--full-auto` — optional safer automation mode ### Why NOT exec/pty? - `exec` has 2 min default timeout → kills long tasks - Even with `pty:true`, output has escape codes, hard to parse - `nohup` + detached runner: clean, detached, reliable ### Git requirement Codex needs a git repo. `run-task.py` auto-inits if missing. ## Python 3.9 Compatibility `run-task.py` uses `Optional[X]` from `typing` (not `X | None`) for compatibility with Python 3.9. The union syntax (`X | None`) requires Python 3.10+. ```python # Correct (3.9+) from typing import Optional def foo(x: Optional[str]) -> Optional[str]: ... # Would break on 3.9 def foo(x: str | None) -> str | None: ... ``` ## Full E2E Test (reference) Use this when you need to validate the **entire pipeline** in one run: - launch notification in source thread - heartbeat after >60s - Codex mid-task progress update - final result in source thread - agent wake attempt with summary step ### Pass criteria 1. Launch message appears in the same thread (with expandable prompt quote) 2. At least one wrapper heartbeat appears after ~60s 3. At least one mid-task update appears (via `/tmp/codex-notify-.py`) 4. Final result appears in the same thread (expandable result quote) 5. Agent wake continuation is delivered (`openclaw agent --session-id ... --deliver`) and appears visibly in chat ### Canonical full test prompt pattern - keep prompt compact for routine testing - force runtime >60s (`sleep 70`) to trigger wrapper heartbeat - explicitly instruct Codex to call the notify script at least twice - include a short structured report so output is easy to verify ### Interactive test rule (time budget) For `iterate`-mode testing, do exactly one continuation step after phase 1. - Phase 1: intentionally incomplete output - Continuation #1: close the gap and finish - Stop there Reason: validates the iterative path without turning a routine test into a long multi-hop run. ### Visibility rule (mandatory) Between `✅ OpenAI Codex completed` and any next `🚀 OpenAI Codex started`, there must be a user-facing analysis message in the thread. - The agent must first post what was done, what gaps remain, and the decision to continue/stop - Only after that message may it launch the next iteration - No silent jump from completion directly to next start ### Canonical launch (minimal mode) ```bash cat > /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt << 'EOF' # 1) notify script now # 2) create test file # 3) sleep 70 + notify again # 4) run several shell commands # 5) return short structured report EOF python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt)" \ --project /tmp/codex-e2e-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --validate-only nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt)" \ --project /tmp/codex-e2e-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --timeout 900 \ > /tmp/codex-full-test.log 2>&1 & ``` ### Verification artifacts - wrapper log: `/tmp/codex-full-test.log` - Codex output: `/tmp/codex-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt` - session registry entry in `~/.openclaw/codex_sessions.json` ## Long-running task guidance If a Codex task is expected to run longer than ~1 minute, explicitly ask Codex to send intermediate progress updates during execution. Recommended wording: - "Send a progress update when you start" - "Send another update after major milestone(s)" - "If task exceeds 60 seconds, send at least one heartbeat-style update" For Telegram thread-safe runs, updates should use the injected automation script (`/tmp/codex-notify-.py`). ### Canonical launch (minimal mode) ```bash cat > /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt << 'EOF' # ~10 lines # 1) use notify helper now # 2) create a test artifact # 3) sleep 70 + notify again # 4) run several shell commands # 5) return short structured report EOF python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt)" \ --project /tmp/codex-e2e-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --validate-only nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-full-test-prompt.txt)" \ --project /tmp/codex-e2e-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --timeout 900 \ > /tmp/codex-full-test.log 2>&1 & ``` ## Examples ### WhatsApp: Create a tool ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ -t "Create a Python CLI tool that converts markdown to HTML with syntax highlighting. Save as convert.py" \ -p ~/projects/md-converter \ -s "agent:main:whatsapp:group:120363425246977860@g.us" \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` ### Telegram: Research codebase (thread-safe) ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --timeout 1800 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` ### Telegram Threaded Mode: Mid-task updates from Codex `run-task.py` automatically creates an on-disk notification script before launching Codex, so Codex can send progress updates without seeing bot tokens in the prompt. ```bash cat > /tmp/codex-prompt.txt << 'EOF' STEP 1: Write analysis to /tmp/report.txt. After step 1, send a progress notification using the script from the automation context above. STEP 2: Write summary to /tmp/summary.txt. EOF nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --timeout 1800 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` > Never embed bot tokens or raw curl commands in the task prompt. > **Quick reference: launching from a Telegram DM thread (minimal mode)** > ```bash > python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ > --task "probe" \ > --project ~/projects/x \ > --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ > --validate-only > > nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ > --task "$(cat /tmp/prompt.txt)" \ > --project ~/projects/x \ > --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ > --timeout 900 \ > > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & > ``` > - Required: `--task`, `--project`, `--session` > - `THREAD_ID` is auto-extracted from session key > - target + session UUID are auto-resolved when possible > - if routing is inconsistent/unresolved, script exits with `❌ Invalid routing` > - launch/heartbeat/result notifications stay on the source thread ### Long task with extended timeout ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ -t "Refactor the entire auth module to use JWT tokens" \ -p ~/projects/backend \ -s "agent:main:whatsapp:group:120363425246977860@g.us" \ --timeout 3600 \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` ## Cost - Codex runs outside the live OpenClaw conversation - zero OpenClaw tokens while Codex works - Codex billing depends on your Codex authentication mode ## Session Resumption Codex sessions can be resumed to continue previous conversations. This is useful for: - follow-up tasks building on previous research - continuing after timeouts or interruptions - multi-step workflows where context matters ### Resume ID — Critical Rule `--resume` takes the **Codex session ID**, not `run_id` or `wake_id`. Correct source: ```text 📝 Session registered: ``` That is the value to pass as `--resume `. ### How to Resume When a task completes, the session ID is captured and saved to `~/.openclaw/codex_sessions.json`. ```bash nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/codex-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/my-project \ --session "SESSION_KEY" \ --resume \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` ### Session Labels Use `--session-label` to give sessions human-readable names for easier tracking. ### Listing Recent Sessions ```python from session_registry import list_recent_sessions, find_session_by_label recent = list_recent_sessions(hours=72) for session in recent: print(f"{session['session_id']}: {session['label']} ({session['status']})") ``` Or manually inspect: ```bash cat ~/.openclaw/codex_sessions.json ``` ### When to Resume vs Start Fresh **Resume when:** - you need context from previous conversation - building on previous research/analysis - continuing interrupted work **Start fresh when:** - unrelated task - you want a clean slate - previous context may cause confusion ### Resume Failure Handling If a session ID is invalid or expired: - error message sent to channel with suggestion to start fresh - process exits cleanly - check stderr in `/tmp/codex-run.log` Common resume failures: - invalid session ID - expired/non-resumable session - session from unrelated context or wrong project expectation ### Example Workflow **Step 1: Initial research** ```bash write /tmp/research-prompt.txt with "Research the codebase architecture for project X" nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/research-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/project-x \ --session "agent:main:main:thread:" \ --session-label "Project X architecture research" \ > /tmp/codex-run.log 2>&1 & ``` **Step 2: Find session ID** ```bash tail /tmp/codex-run.log cat ~/.openclaw/codex_sessions.json | grep "Project X" ``` **Step 3: Follow-up implementation** ```bash write /tmp/implement-prompt.txt with "Based on your research, implement the authentication module" nohup python3 {baseDir}/run-task.py \ --task "$(cat /tmp/implement-prompt.txt)" \ --project ~/projects/project-x \ --session "SESSION_KEY" \ --resume \ --session-label "Project X auth implementation" \ > /tmp/codex-run2.log 2>&1 & ``` ## Wake Troubleshooting When the agent wake / continue chain fails: - verify `sessions_send` is enabled - verify session visibility is `all` - verify Telegram thread routing with `--validate-only` - inspect `/tmp/codex-run.log` - inspect the session registry and output file path Common failure patterns: - wrong thread session key - Telegram target/session UUID could not be resolved - stale or duplicate wake suppressed by dedupe guard - resume ID is wrong - progress helper was not called in long-running test scenarios ## Current Stable Behavior This is the current intended behavior of the Codex adaptation: - wake continuity: the agent gets a continuation turn after Codex finishes - Telegram thread routing is strict by default - WhatsApp gets direct result delivery plus agent wake - session resumption uses Codex session IDs captured from the JSON event stream Current locally validated behavior in this repo: - Codex `exec` via `--experimental-json` - Codex `resume` - output capture via `--output-last-message` - OpenClaw-style async launch / heartbeat / completion flow in the runner logic
