This PR fixes three problems that together left Codex Desktop unable to start its Host Runtime while a Remote SSH listener held the local Mapping Store, with the cause hidden behind a Shim cleanup note (#765).
Lock ownership (Mapping Store, Host Runtime)
store.lock now records the owner's role (local Host Runtime or remote app-server listener). STORE_LOCKED reads Another codexhost process owns Mapping Store at <dir> (PID n, <role>, started <time>). Legacy locks without a role still produce the message, without the role.
Before the Shim starts a managed remote listener, it checks the environment. It refuses to start inside a local Launcher session (CODEXHOST_LAUNCHER_PID set) or without CODEXHOST_DATA_DIR. 4fd39dd already stopped stripping CODEXHOST_DATA_DIR; this guard keeps the listener from falling back to the local ~/.codexhost if the environment regresses.
macOS helper routing (Shim)
Desktop helper classification no longer requires the Launcher to be alive, to still have the recorded executable, or to keep its recorded start time. The Launcher may exit, or its PID may be reused. Only the validated, start-time-checked Desktop ancestry decides: depth 1 is the main process, and deeper is a helper.
Admission (admit_local_runtime): a caller positively not started by the validated Desktop runs on the official CLI in two cases. One is when a live Host Runtime owns the Mapping Store. The other is when another live Desktop owns the local Host Runtime lease. The Shim prints a one-line note when it does this. Desktop's own main app-server keeps the explicit failure. Other platforms are unchanged.
Startup diagnostics
On an initialization failure, the Host Runtime restates the reason as its final diagnostic (exiting: Host initialization failed: ...) after cleanup.
The Shim tracks the last stderr line of a Host Runtime child. When the child fails on its own, the Shim prints codexhost shim: Host Runtime exited with code N: <last line> as the final line. That is the only line Desktop shows. The Shim's own notes now say "Host Runtime" or "official CLI" according to the actual child. Official CLI stderr stays byte-for-byte unchanged.
Harness-native semantics are unchanged. No proxying between two Hosts was added; the local and remote Hosts keep separate data directories.
npm run typecheck, npm run lint, prettier --check on the changed files: clean.
vitest run --config tests/vitest.config.js packages/mapping-store packages/host-runtime: 1376 passed, 13 skipped. New tests: the owner role in STORE_LOCKED, the legacy lock without a role, and the Host Runtime startup failure whose first and last diagnostics both name the owner.
Full vitest run --config tests/vitest.config.js: 8354 passed, 1 failed: tests/release/npm-package.test.mjs > opens the packaged console with the npm update environment and the Launcher. This test fails the same way on unchanged main (b9b0b74) on this machine, so it is environmental. locates Homebrew npm when Node and npm do not share an official prefix failed once in a standalone rerun and passed in the full run (flaky).
Linux x86_64 (container):
cargo test -p codexhost-shim --features test-utils: all pass except retires_an_orphaned_legacy_runtime_after_desktop_exit. That test fails identically on unchanged main there, because the fixture's "exited" Desktop PID (53) is a live process in the container.
clippy and fmt: clean.
Windows: cargo clippy -p codexhost-shim --all-targets --features test-utils --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu -- -D warnings is clean (cross-checked from Linux). The Windows tests were not run.
Not verified on a real device: Desktop with a live Remote SSH listener after this change. The deployed builds on the reporting machines were not replaced.
A remote app-server listener started with a leaked local Launcher
session could lock the local Mapping Store. Codex Desktop then failed to
start its Host Runtime with "Another codexhost process owns Mapping
Store", but showed only the Shim's cleanup note "terminated official CLI
descendants after root exit". On macOS, Computer Use helpers kept
starting full Host Runtimes after the Launcher exited, failing on the
same lock about every ten minutes.
- Shim: classify macOS Desktop helpers by validated Desktop ancestry when
Launcher metadata is stale (Launcher exited or its PID reused).
- Shim: a caller positively not started by Codex Desktop runs on the
official CLI when a live Host Runtime owns the Mapping Store or another
live Desktop owns the local Host Runtime lease. Desktop's main
app-server keeps the explicit failure.
- Shim: refuse to start a managed remote listener inside a local Launcher
session or without CODEXHOST_DATA_DIR, so it cannot take the local
Mapping Store.
- Shim: label Host Runtime children as Host Runtime, and end a failed Host
Runtime's stderr with its last diagnostic so Desktop shows the cause.
- Mapping Store: record the owner role in store.lock and name the owner's
directory, PID, role and start time in STORE_LOCKED.
- Host Runtime: restate a Host initialization failure as the final
diagnostic before exiting.

The summary unit test was gated to macOS and Linux, which left its import
unused on Windows and failed clippy with -D warnings. Build the failed
exit status per platform instead.

The fixture exited immediately, so under parallel load the Shim could
fail to inspect the already-exited child while publishing the lease and
report "cannot inspect PID" instead of the startup failure under test.
Give it a short startup time, as a real Host Runtime has.

When the child exits before the Shim records it in the local runtime
lease, the process snapshot fails and the proxy returned that error
without copying the child's stderr. Wait briefly for the exit and fall
through to the normal exit report instead, and drop the fixture delay
that hid this path.

Resolve proxy test conflicts by keeping this branch's CODEXHOST_DATA_DIR
fixtures together with main's CODEXHOST_REMOTE_EXECUTION_SESSION and
concurrent reconnect coverage.
Merged current main (1a239fdc, including #776 / #788 / #790) into this branch to clear the conflict. Head is now 4477fd6e (4477fd6e547a77b131803eaf98ff3bd476219f73).
The only conflict was in crates/shim/tests/proxy.rs. The merge keeps this branch's CODEXHOST_DATA_DIR fixtures and main's CODEXHOST_REMOTE_EXECUTION_SESSION plus the concurrent reconnect coverage.
Locally on this head, cargo test --locked --package codexhost-shim --test proxy managed_remote_listener on Linux: managed_remote_listener_refuses_a_local_launcher_session_or_missing_data_directory passed. The other two managed_remote_listener_* cases (detaches_and_reuses_a_matching_socket_owner and replaces_a_stale_socket_before_the_startup_timeout) failed here, and the same two cases fail the same way on current main (1a239fdc) in this environment, so I am not treating them as a regression from this merge.
