The public upload builder previously stripped lifecycle hooks even though the current OpenAI submission contract supports native Codex command hooks. Include the canonical four-event hook configuration and executable script in the deterministic ZIP, validate its bytes and permissions, and correct shared guidance. Publish wrapper versions Codex 0.3.7 and Claude 0.3.5; the runtime remains 0.15.7.

Validation: core package checks and standalone Codex/Claude validators pass. Existing native lifecycle scripts are unchanged. Current contract: https://developers.openai.com/plugins/guides/submit-claude-plugin

High-level PR Summary

This PR modifies the public plugin upload builder to include native Codex lifecycle hooks that were previously stripped, aligning with the current OpenAI submission contract. The changes preserve executable hook scripts (codex-hooks.json and codex-hook.sh) with correct permissions in the deterministic ZIP package, update validation logic to verify hook bytes and permissions, and bump wrapper versions to Codex 0.3.7 and Claude 0.3.5. Documentation is updated throughout to clarify that current public uploads include lifecycle hooks while ordinary Chat hosts without Codex runtime remain guidance-only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The skills-only Codex package now declares and bundles native lifecycle hooks. The builder preserves executable permissions. Validation checks the hook manifest, packaged bytes, and executable bit. Version metadata and lifecycle-hook documentation were updated.

plugins/tree-ring-memory/.codex-plugin/plugin.json, plugins/tree-ring-memory/packaging/codex-skills-only/.codex-plugin/plugin.json, plugins/tree-ring-memory/packaging/build-codex-skills-only.py
The Codex package declares hooks/codex-hooks.json. The build includes the hook files and preserves Unix executable permissions.
Package validation
scripts/validate-plugin-packages.py
Validation expects the new versions and checks the hook manifest, packaged hook contents, and executable hook script.

Version references and lifecycle-hook guidance now describe current Codex and public upload packages as including native hooks.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c92cd

Users following the documented setup with an older compatible CLI may receive nonfunctional lifecycle hooks. Align the minimum version and activation guard before merge.

AI Description

• Preserve canonical native Codex lifecycle hooks in deterministic public upload archives.
• Validate packaged hook content, manifest parity, and executable permissions.
• Align wrapper versions and guidance with current OpenAI submission support.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is appropriate: package the already validated canonical hook files rather than maintaining upload-specific copies, and preserve source executability in ZIP metadata. Separate hook copies or generated variants were considered but would increase drift risk without improving compatibility.

Enforce CLI 0.15.6 before lifecycle-hook setup.

SKILL.md requires CLI 0.15.6 for lifecycle hooks but declares 0.15.0 compatible. An existing CLI from 0.15.0 through 0.15.5 can reach codex-hook.sh, which codex-hooks.json registers, without the required hook support. Raise the documented minimum to 0.15.6 and gate initialization or hook activation on that version. The --release latest argument already selects the latest archive, so change the v0.15.0/install.sh pin and SHA-256 only if the installer revision also changes.
