fix(macos): allow Remote SSH tasks to use the desktop login session - #790
Native Codex tasks started through Remote SSH cannot read a valid macOS login-keychain credential: gh auth status reports an invalid token while the same binary/account authenticates in the desktop session.
Add opt-in codexhost remote install --session desktop so the managed listener and its descendants start in the current user's desktop security session. Existing installations retain SSH/background execution. Reinstall, update and repair preserve the selection; --session ssh restores the old configuration shape for rollback.
A one-shot native Aqua LaunchAgent hands off the caller's environment, arguments and cwd over an owner-private local socket. They are never persisted in the plist. The helper is unloaded after the acknowledged handoff; the listener retains its existing native supervision, readiness, reconnect and verified stop paths. No stored credentials are exported or keychains unlocked.
Desktop mode requires the same user to remain logged in. Screen lock is supported; logout/restart ends its tasks. An unavailable desktop session is an error rather than a silent SSH fallback. Per-Harness Aqua Brokers remain separate.

Fixes#789. The existing Harness-specific design is in #99 and #483.
Test plan
Executed on macOS arm64 against current upstream main:
npm run typecheck; affected-file ESLint and Prettier; node tools/check-boundaries.mjs; cargo fmt --all --check — passed.
vitest run --config tests/vitest.config.js for remote-host-install.test.ts, remote-host-cli.test.ts, and remote-host-lifecycle.test.ts — 46 passed.
cargo test --locked --package codexhost-platform macos_aqua_process — 3 passed.
cargo test --locked --package codexhost-updater ssh::tests — 12 passed, including repair preserving desktop mode before uninstall and keeping legacy SSH CLI arguments.
CODEXHOST_TEST_GH_AUTH=1 cargo test --locked --package codexhost-shim --features test-utils --test desktop_session -- --ignored — 2 passed: startup errors returned through private IPC, desktop security context, env/cwd preservation, survival after temporary-agent cleanup, and authenticated gh api user from a process launched by the SSH task.
cargo test --locked --package codexhost-shim --features test-utils --test proxy detaches_and_reuses_a_matching_socket_owner -- --include-ignored — both SSH and desktop cases passed, including two concurrent reconnects retaining the same process/socket and rejecting mismatched ownership.
The same proxy test target with remote_lifecycle_terminates_only_the_matching_socket_listener -- --exact — passed.
Desktop-dependent cases are opt-in and were run explicitly. No model request, installed-service restart or logout was used. Latest CI run 42790672397, on final head f7cccb58: Linux x64, Linux ARM64 and macOS passed. Windows passed 5,620 TypeScript tests and failed the unchanged delegation-watch-store.test.ts:136 concurrent-adoption test (both adopters received the same record). The watch-store source and tests have no diff in this PR; the fork already has a separate adoption-serialization fix.
The initial CI run also passed the three Unix lanes; Windows failed a different unchanged updater-status fixture with a partial-JSON read. An attempt to rerun the failed Windows job was rejected because upstream repository admin rights are required. CI is not fully green; a maintainer needs to address/retry the unrelated Windows failures.
The desktop-session option preserves the selection across repair, the docs match the behavior, and failure paths are handled. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains. Desktop-mode tests need a logged-in macOS session and were not independently run, and the unrelated Windows CI failure still needs a maintainer retry.

Stopping interrupts active remote tasks. Reconnect the remote project after starting. The choice is preserved by later installs and updates; `remote status` includes `executionSession`. Use the same commands with `--session ssh` to restore the default background execution. Existing installations stay in SSH mode unless explicitly changed. The option is macOS-only.

说明 SSH 模式下状态字段会缺失。
SSH 模式的清单不写入 executionSession，因此 remote status 在该模式下也不会显示此字段。当前说明会让用户以为两种模式都能直接读取该字段。请说明字段仅在桌面模式下显示，或让状态输出始终提供有效会话值。请同步修改中文文档的对应说明。As per coding guidelines，规则要求“A change is complete only when implementation, contracts, tests, and affected documentation agree.”

在修复重装时保留桌面会话选择。
如果安装选择了 desktop，更新器的修复脚本会先执行 remote uninstall，再执行不带 --session 的 remote install。卸载后旧清单不再可读，因此此处将会话重置为 ssh。修复会在用户未选择切换模式时改变监听器的运行会话。请让修复流程在卸载前保存选择，并在重装时显式传入该选择。As per coding guidelines，规则要求“A change is complete only when implementation, contracts, tests, and affected documentation agree.” 当前行为与文档中的会话保留说明不一致。

Thanks for the contribution. I added a small maintainer follow-up to close the process-tree cleanup race and surface early remote shim startup failures with bounded diagnostics. The focused regression review and full CI matrix now pass.
