User problem

Fresh WSL installs can have a local ~/.codex directory before config.toml exists. In that state OpenCodex could treat the missing config file as permission to switch to a detected Windows Codex home, even though the local home is the intended default.

Change

  • Keep an existing local default ~/.codex as the resolved Codex home even when config.toml has not been created yet.
  • Preserve the existing Windows-home discovery path only for the case where the local default Codex home directory is absent.
  • Add focused WSL resolution regression coverage.

Verification

  • bun test tests/codex-integration/codex-home-wsl.test.ts
  • bun run typecheck

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Codex home directory detection when a default local .codex directory exists, ensuring it is selected instead of an alternate Windows location.
    • Added coverage to verify consistent home-directory selection across Linux and WSL environments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

defaultCodexHome now checks whether the Linux .codex directory exists before searching for a WSL Windows Codex home. A regression test covers an existing Linux directory without config.toml.

Linux home precedence and regression coverage
src/codex/home.ts, tests/codex-integration/codex-home-wsl.test.ts
At src/codex/home.ts:139, WSL fallback now runs only when the default Linux home directory is absent. The test import and new test at tests/codex-integration/codex-home-wsl.test.ts:2,48-66 verify that an existing /home/example/.codex is selected even when its config.toml is missing.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d8928

A malformed local .codex file can prevent WSL users from using an otherwise valid Windows Codex home and cause catalog initialization to fail. Require a directory before applying local-home precedence.

이 PR은 프로그램을 바꾸지 않는다. 문서 파일 하나에 문단 하나만 넣는다. 넣은 말은 이렇다. 코덱스를 처음 깔면 config.toml이 없을 수 있다. 그럴 때는 다른 설정 폴더로 여기지 말고, 이미 정해진 CODEX_HOME 안에 그 파일을 만들어라. 파일이 없다는 신고를 볼 때는 먼저 실제 CODEX_HOME과 그 폴더가 있는지도 확인하라.

이슈 5440이 원한 설명도 그것이다. 지금 코드는 그 말과 반대로 움직인다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 5행 - 이 파일 맨 위는 옛날 설계 기록이라고 적혀 있다. 지금 동작은 structure/와 공개 문서를 보라고 한다. 고장 안내를 여기 적어도, 사람은 이것을 지금 동작 문서로 읽지 않는다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 24행 - "파일이 없으면 그 자리에 만들고, 다른 설정 루트로 보지 마라"고 했다. src/codex/home.tsdefaultCodexHome(135행)은 반대다. CODEX_HOME이 비어 있고 ~/.codex/config.toml이 없으면, WSL에서 윈도우 코덱스 홈을 찾는다. 후보가 하나뿐이면 그 폴더를 설정 루트로 쓴다. 파일을 만들어서 그 전환을 막지는 않는다.

docs/codex-app-model-catalog.md 24행 - "만들어야 한다"는 바라는 일이다. 이 PR은 그 만드는 코드를 넣지 않는다. 없는 파일을 알아서 만든다고 읽으면 디버그가 더 헷갈린다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

없는 config.toml을 보고 기본 홈에 파일을 만들 것인지, 지금처럼 윈도우 홈으로 넘어갈 수 있음을 문서로만 남길 것인지.

너의 추천

이대로 머지하지 않는 편이 낫다. 지금 동작을 적을 거면 defaultCodexHome과 같은 말로 쓰고, 이 아카이브가 아니라 structure/나 공개 문서에 둔다. 동작을 바꿀 거면 문서만으로는 부족하고 코드 변경이 필요하다.

Require a directory before suppressing the WSL fallback.

When defaultHome is a regular file, existsSync(defaultHome) returns true. This sets detected to null, so defaultCodexHome returns the file path instead of the valid Windows Codex home. The catalog home-selection path then rejects it because the selected path is not a directory.

Use statSync(defaultHome).isDirectory() for local-home precedence. Fall back when the path is absent or is not a directory, and rethrow filesystem errors other than ENOENT. Add a regression test where the local ~/.codex path is a regular file and a valid Windows Codex home exists. The current test does not cover this case because it treats the local path as existing and only applies its directory mock while discovering Windows homes.
