Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change preserves absolute POSIX paths while still resolving relative values, but the new regression test does not verify the exact resolved path and could miss an incorrect base directory. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness to strengthen that assertion. Possibly related PRs

…vice files A generated systemd unit or launchd plist written from a Windows host carried `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=D:\tmp\codex-sqlite-home` for an input of `/tmp/codex-sqlite-home`, while `CODEX_HOME` in the same file kept its POSIX value. One file, two variables holding the same kind of value, disagreeing with each other. `currentCodexSqliteHomeAbsolute` ends in `resolve()`, which is host-relative in both directions: on a Windows host it anchors `/tmp/x` to the current drive, and on a POSIX host it would turn `C:\data` into `<cwd>/C:\data`. Neither is a path the target can use. The Windows branch above it already made this argument and preserved an already-absolute drive/UNC path; the POSIX side had no counterpart. Absolute-for-the-target paths are now preserved on both sides. A relative value still resolves, which is why the `resolve()` is there at all — a service unit has no meaningful working directory. Fixes the two long-standing Windows failures in `tests/service.test.ts` (`systemd service unit > preserves custom Codex and OpenCodex homes` and the launchd equivalent), which the reporter had been carrying as tolerated-by-name for several releases: 119 pass / 2 fail -> 123 pass / 0 fail. The added invariant test was driven red against the unfixed resolver. Note it can only fail on a Windows host: on POSIX, `resolve()` of an absolute POSIX path is identity, so this class of bug is invisible there — which is why it survived CI for so long. Closes lidge-jun#1786

The relative-path case only rejected the exact raw string, so it stayed green for any other non-absolute transform. Extract the emitted value per artifact format (launchd is XML, systemd is a quoted Environment= line) and assert absoluteness plus the expected terminal component.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert the expected resolved path.
Lines 705-707 and 713-715 accept any absolute path that ends in relative-sqlite-home. A regression that resolves the value from the wrong base directory would pass both checks. Compare the launchd value with the host-resolved expected value. Decode or render the systemd assignment with its expected escaping, then compare that value too.

Summary
Closes #1786.
You asked which of two readings was right and said you could not distinguish them from outside. It is the first one: the generator normalizes
CODEX_SQLITE_HOMEand should not. The asymmetry you pointed at is the whole tell, and it is real rather than a test artifact.currentCodexSqliteHomeAbsoluteends inresolve(). That is host-relative in both directions — on a Windows host it anchors/tmp/xto the current drive (D:\tmp\x), and on a POSIX host it would turnC:\datainto<cwd>/C:\data. Neither is a path the target host can use.CODEX_HOMEandOPENCODEX_HOMEbeside it are carried through literally, which is why one generated file ended up disagreeing with itself about two variables holding the same kind of value.The interesting part is that the code already contains this exact argument, one branch up:
So the rule was already established for Windows artifacts rendered on a POSIX host. It just had no counterpart for POSIX artifacts rendered on a Windows host. This adds the mirror, and keeps the
resolve()for the relative case — which is why it is there at all, since a service unit has no meaningful working directory.Your second reading — pin or skip the tests on Windows — would also have turned the suite green, and I think it is the wrong trade. It would leave a real cross-host defect in place and convert a true signal into a permanently skipped case, which is the same thing you said you did not want to keep tolerating.

The second passes either way by design — it guards what the change deliberately preserves.
One caveat worth stating plainly, since it explains the whole history: this can only fail on a Windows host. On POSIX,
resolve()of an absolute POSIX path is identity, so the new assertion passes trivially there. That is exactly why the defect survived CI, and why your report was the only way it was going to surface.Checklist
