systemctl --user show exits 1 with 'Failed to get D-Bus connection: No such file or directory' on hosts that ship systemctl but run no user session bus (WSL, containers, systemd-less distros). The probe mapped every non-zero status to unknown, so ownership inspection reported 'could not be proven' and admission refused every sync/write on such hosts indefinitely (lidge-jun#1939). The two systemd-impossible messages (missing session-bus socket, and WSL's not-booted-with-systemd) now classify as absent — the same conclusion as systemctl being missing, since no user unit can be registered without a user manager. Other bus failures stay unknown: the user manager may genuinely be running with a misconfigured DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, and the existing pinned test for that case is unchanged.

Do not return absent when the systemd unit file exists.
At src/service-manager-probe.ts:278-282, the probe returns absent before checking definitionPath. inspectNativeCodexOwnership maps this result to owned at src/integrations/native/ownership-preflight.ts:198-201, so a staged or foreign unit file can be overwritten without proving ownership.
When either error matches, call artifactPresence(definitionPath) first. Return absent only for "absent". Return unknown for "present" or "unreadable". Add a regression test in tests/codex-service-manager-probe.test.ts for an existing unit file with an unavailable user bus.

The reported sync failure is real, but the current classification is not safe for unattended writes.
A missing user bus does not prove that ~/.config/systemd/user/opencodex-proxy.service is absent. The definition can remain on disk while the user manager is unavailable, and it can name another CODEX_HOME or OPENCODEX_HOME. Returning absent before inspecting that artifact lets the ownership preflight treat the machine as unclaimed and overwrite a foreign or interrupted installation.
Please keep the bus result separate from definition evidence: when these deterministic no-bus messages occur, inspect the expected unit file. If the file is absent, return absent. If it exists, read and parse its homes and return a present claim with registration absent. If it is unreadable or malformed, remain unknown. Add regressions for both an agreeing and a foreign definition while the bus is unavailable.

Maintainer note — this is the containment @Ingwannu asked for, written out so it can be lifted straight into the branch. I am not opening a competing PR: this function is yours for this cycle. Why this matters beyond #1939#2114 is the same defect with a different symptom. That report is a Docker/tini container where Its stderr is So the classifier here decides two issues at once. That is an argument for landing it with the containment rather than splitting the work. The containment, using pieces this file already hasThe review is right that the bus result and the definition evidence must stay separate. The good news is that Shape: if (shown.status !== 0) {
if (!busUnreachable(shown.stderr)) {
return unknown(`systemctl show exited ${String(shown.status)}: ${err}`);
}
// The bus could not answer. Ask the disk instead — a unit file is proof of
// installation that does not require a running user manager.
const presence = artifactPresence(definitionPath);
if (presence === "absent") return { kind: "absent" };
if (presence !== "present") return unknown("the systemd unit could not be inspected while the user bus was unavailable");
let body: string;
try { body = readFileSync(definitionPath, "utf-8"); }
catch (error) { return unknown(`the systemd unit exists but could not be read: ${String(error)}`); }
return {
kind: "present",
claims: [{
backend: "systemd",
definitionPath,
homes: {
codexHome: unitEnvValue(body, "CODEX_HOME"),
opencodexHome: unitEnvValue(body, "OPENCODEX_HOME"),
},

}],
};
}
On matching stderrWorth naming as a real weakness rather than papering over: string matching is locale-fragile. A non-English systemd will not match any of the three shapes, and those users keep getting Two options, and I do not think this PR has to pick the harder one:
Suggested regressionsMatching the review's ask, plus the #2114 shape:
Rebase noteThe review also flagged the base and the 125-commit lag. That is stale now — the PR reads Happy to do the rebase or write the tests if that is useful — say the word rather than me pushing to your branch. |

Thanks for this, @yzxcj797 — closing as superseded by #2130, which merged into #2130's That is why nothing is folded from this PR: rebasing it on top of #2130 would replace the disk check with the unconditional |
A laptop where systemctl exists but the user session bus does not respond gets every native request answered with 503 until ocx restart. inspectSystemd called every non-zero exit unknown, ownership-preflight turned that into ownership unknown, and startServer fenced native-main for the process lifetime. The comment on that branch was right that a non-zero status means the question never reached the bus. That is the reason the verdict is wrong: it is evidence about the bus, not evidence that a foreign service owns this home. Widening on the exit code alone would fail open. With the bus down systemctl cannot see a foreign unit either, so "no answer" would be read as "no owner" on a machine that genuinely has one. The fix asks the disk instead, which needs no bus: the unit file is proof of installation, and the homes it names are what ownership is actually decided on. No unit file means absent. A unit naming a foreign home stays present and still blocks. Registration is reported as absent on this path rather than invented. The disk cannot say whether systemd has the unit loaded, and guessing there is how a stale claim would slip through. Refs lidge-jun#2114 Known limitation, stated rather than hidden: systemd localizes these stderr strings, so a non-English host will not match and keeps the old unknown. That fences rather than admits, which is the safe direction, but it does mean the fix does not reach every affected user. Forcing LC_ALL=C on the probe would remove the caveat and is the obvious follow-up; it is not done here because it changes every systemctl call this module makes. Coordination: open draft PR lidge-jun#2029 edits the same function for lidge-jun#1939 and classifies two other bus messages as absent. This branch does not touch that PR or its branch. Its two classifications and this one agree in direction; if it lands first, this reconciles with it rather than replacing it. Verification: red-driven — three assertions fail before the change (present vs unknown), with the non-bus control passing throughout. 54 pass / 0 fail on the probe suite, 14 pass / 0 fail on service-probe-docker and native-profile-startup, tsc --noEmit exit 0. The pre-existing assertion that pinned this shape as unknown is amended to a non-bus stderr rather than deleted, so the rule it protects still holds.
