Summary

Opt-in PAC-fallback mode for the ChatGPT desktop send-unblock intercept, so the app keeps working when opencodex stops.

Merge order: this PR now carries the send-unblock work directly. #5733 was closed unmerged as superseded by this branch (all four of its commits are patch-equivalent here), and the branch has been rebased onto dev (7f9f0e53d), so every commit in this PR is only this feature's work:

  • 50e6c804-equivalent: the send-unblock intercept (opt-in), its launch watcher, and the relay fixes CodeRabbit found while reviewing this PR (a missing error listener on the WebSocket tunnel between the handshake and attach(), and duplicate test-layout keys);
  • the remaining commits are the PAC work and the RFC 1929 authenticated-SOCKS fix for the WebSocket dial (review by Ingwannu).

What the mode does (chatgptDesktop.pacFallback, default off; only takes effect together with unblockSend):

  • The app is launched with --proxy-pac-url=file://<configDir>/chatgpt-unblock.pac instead of the --host-resolver-rules switch. The PAC is rewritten at every opencodex start.
  • chatgpt.com goes to a new loopback CONNECT entry listener (listener port + 1), which accepts only CONNECT chatgpt.com:443 and splices the bytes onto the existing TLS listener. The splice is backpressure-safe (Bun sockets are unbuffered, so unwritten bytes are queued and the producer paused until drain), and a client that never finishes its head is closed at the deadline.
  • Every other host — and chatgpt.com while opencodex is stopped — follows the system route captured at start, never a hard-coded DIRECT: the scutil --proxy proxies (HTTPS, HTTP, SOCKS5, then DIRECT) in system-proxy mode; the system PAC script itself, embedded in the generated file, when a PAC is configured (the PAC mode of VPN clients such as ShadowsocksX-NG); DIRECT in TUN mode or without a proxy. A system PAC that cannot be read degrades to DIRECT with a startup warning.
  • When opencodex stops, the entry listener dies with it; Chromium's CONNECT is refused and it falls through to the next entry of the PAC answer, so the app keeps working without a restart. Only the send unblock pauses until opencodex is back.
  • ocx chatgpt launch, restore, install-watcher and status follow the configured mode. restore undoes either switch, so it also works after pacFallback was toggled. The watcher refuses to route the app while the entry listener is down.
  • The guide documents the mode in all eight locales.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, bun run skill:surface:check — pass (re-run on the rebased branch).
  • bun scripts/test-layout/verify.ts --domain chatgpt-unblock — pass (137 tests after rebase).
  • bun test ./tests/chatgpt-unblock/ — 137 pass, 0 fail (after rebase).
  • bun test ./tests/cli/ — 1341 pass (3 env-specific skips), 0 fail (after rebase).
  • bun test ./tests/ci-workflows/ ./tests/test-layout.test.ts ./tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts — run after rebase; one env-specific flake on a clean re-run, all layout and structure-ssot tests pass.
  • Full suite: left to CI.
  • RFC 1929: bun test ./tests/lib/socks5-handshake.test.ts (12 byte-level tests) and the credentialed-SOCKS relay end-to-end tests in tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-ws-relay.test.ts.
  • Regression tests were checked against the old code: the 8 MiB slow-reader tunnel test fails on the old splice (which passes at 64 KiB), the head-deadline test fails without a timeout handler, the listener-release test fails without the cleanup, and the two WebSocket late-error tests throw without the listener.
  • PAC generation was checked against scutil --proxy output on a Mac with a system proxy. Generated PACs are evaluated in a VM, including three ways a system PAC can declare FindProxyForURL.
  • Not run: a live check against a running ChatGPT app. The fallback relies on Chromium moving to the next PAC entry when a proxy refuses the connection.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (docs-site guide in all eight locales.)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (The entry listener binds 127.0.0.1 only and refuses every request except CONNECT chatgpt.com:443, so it is never a general forward proxy. The embedded system PAC is the script Chromium would run anyway. The PAC file is written 0644 inside the config dir. The feature is off by default; no secrets are logged or stored.)

Review readiness checklist

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

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge). (Rebased onto 7f9f0e53d.)

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an optional, disabled-by-default macOS ChatGPT Desktop integration that removes usage-quota send locks while preserving other restrictions and displayed usage. OpenAI’s server-side limits remain in effect.
    • Added commands to check integration status, launch ChatGPT with the required routing, restore native networking, and install or remove an optional launch watcher.
    • Added optional PAC fallback support for proxy auto-configuration setups.
    • Added setup and troubleshooting guides in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds an opt-in macOS ChatGPT Desktop integration. It routes traffic through local HTTP and WebSocket relays, rewrites selected usage-related send gates, and adds PAC fallback, launch-watcher, runtime, and CLI controls. It also extracts shared SOCKS5 handshake logic and adds tests and localized guides.

Changes

ChatGPT Desktop Send Unblock

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and response rewriting
src/config/schema/config-schema.ts, src/types/config.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/rewrite.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/rewrite.test.ts
Adds optional chatgptDesktop settings and port validation. The rewrite functions remove quota-related send blocks and open usage-limit gates on recognized response surfaces. Tests cover JSON, SSE, nested data, and endpoint selection.
Shared SOCKS5 handshake
src/lib/socks5-handshake.ts, src/lib/socks5-fetch.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/ws-upstream.ts, tests/lib/socks5-handshake.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-ws-relay.test.ts, structure/transports/inventory.md
Extracts SOCKS5 credential parsing and negotiation into a reusable module. The fetch tunnel and ChatGPT Desktop relay use the shared handshake, with tests for authentication and protocol replies.
HTTP and WebSocket relays
src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/listener.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/entry-proxy.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/ws-*, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-listener.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-entry-proxy.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-ws-*
Adds a loopback TLS listener, a CONNECT proxy for chatgpt.com:443, and an upstream WebSocket relay with HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 proxy support. The listener rewrites matching JSON and event-stream responses and reports preserved send blocks.
Runtime routing and launch watcher
src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/ca-trust.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/pac.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/runtime.ts, src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/launch-watcher.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-ca-trust.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-pac.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-runtime.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-launch-script.test.ts, tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-watcher-install.test.ts
Adds CA trust inspection, PAC generation from system proxy settings, listener startup, and optional launchd watcher installation and status handling. Tests cover routing modes, port selection, trust states, and watcher behavior.
CLI and server lifecycle integration
src/cli/chatgpt-command.ts, src/cli/dispatch.ts, src/cli/help.ts, src/cli/registry.ts, src/server/index/chatgpt-unblock-lifecycle.ts, src/server/index/optional-listeners.ts
Adds ocx chatgpt status, watcher, launch, and restore operations. Server optional-listener startup and shutdown now include the integration.
Localized guides and supporting indexes
docs-site/astro.config.mjs, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/chatgpt-desktop.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/guides/chatgpt-desktop.md, devlog/_fin/260905_test_modularization_and_windows/001_test_inventory.md, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json
Adds the guide in eight languages and links it from the Guides sidebar. Test inventory and layout data classify the new tests, and the source index and manifest list src/chatgpt/.

  • lidge-jun/opencodex#5733: Adds the base ChatGPT Desktop send-unblock integration that this pull request extends with PAC fallback, an entry proxy, and PAC-specific launch and restore handling.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eb695

An invalid live setting can silently disable the requested desktop integration, so validation should be corrected before merge. The launch documentation should also distinguish PAC mode.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eb695

The feature is opt-in and limited to one desktop app, but its generated routing file can keep using an old network route or fall back to direct connections when a proxy is unavailable. The launch watcher also has a limited local-service identity check. These conditions warrant design review before relying on the fallback in a proxy-controlled environment.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The app's generated PAC can retain an obsolete route after system proxy changes and explicitly falls back to DIRECT when a captured proxy cannot be used. If that proxy is required for egress control, traffic from the opted-in app may bypass it until the app and integration are restarted.
  • Medium · security · inferred: The watcher can treat a foreign local service as the PAC entry listener; its primary-listener check also relies on a self-reported identifier without certificate verification. A local process able to occupy both ports while the integration is absent could satisfy the checks used before the watcher launches the app with the PAC.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The generated PAC governs destinations across the opted-in ChatGPT desktop app, not just the intercepted host. The added network listeners themselves are reachable only over local loopback.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If system proxy settings change while the app retains its generated PAC, or a captured mandatory proxy fails, the app can use the PAC's old or DIRECT route rather than the intended current proxy. Actual policy bypass depends on the user's network configuration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The entry proxy accepts only CONNECT chatgpt.com:443 and connects to its configured local origin; this prevents it from serving as a general forward proxy. The main TLS listener has no client authentication and relies on its loopback bind for client reachability.
  • observed — The watcher checks a self-reported primary-listener identifier with certificate verification disabled and treats an HTTP answer from the entry port as readiness. Healthy startup binds the entry before publishing its PAC, limiting the port-spoofing window while the integration is running.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Restore can remove either launch-switch variant even when the integration listeners are unavailable. If the app remains routed when the integration stops, shutdown emits a restore warning rather than silently changing the app process.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For environments that require a proxy, define an explicit fail-closed route policy and refresh or withdraw the generated PAC when system proxy settings change or the configured system PAC cannot be read.
  • proposed — Make the entry-port readiness check distinguish the owned listener from an arbitrary HTTP responder before using it as authority to route or restart the app.

ChatGPT 데스크톱 앱은 사용량이 다하면 보내기 버튼을 잠급니다. opencodex가 다른 모델로 대화를 넘겨도, 앱은 chatgpt.com의 사용량 답을 보고 입력창을 막습니다.

이 PR은 맥에서만, 설정을 켠 사람에게, 그 잠금을 푸는 가로채기를 넣습니다. 로컬 리스너가 chatgpt.com인 척하고, 보내기 잠금만 지웁니다. 사용량 숫자와 리셋 시각은 그대로 둡니다. 앱을 열 때 도메인 규칙을 붙이는 감시기도 같이 넣습니다. 이 줄기는 이미 열린 PR #5733과 같습니다. 그 머리 커밋 f7492c49가 이 브랜치에 들어 있습니다.

그 위에 chatgptDesktop.pacFallback을 더합니다. 켜면 도메인 규칙 대신 PAC 파일로 앱을 띄웁니다. chatgpt.com만 루프백의 CONNECT 입구로 가고, 입구는 기존 TLS 리스너에 바이트를 이어 붙입니다. 다른 주소는 파일을 만들 때 scutil --proxy로 읽은 시스템 프록시로 갑니다. 맨 끝은 DIRECT입니다. opencodex가 꺼져 입구가 죽으면, Chromium이 다음 프록시로 넘어가서 앱을 다시 열지 않아도 되게 하려는 변경입니다. 바탕 브랜치는 dev입니다. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 변경은 아닙니다.

라인 - src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/launch-watcher.ts의 entry_ours. 감시기가 입구가 살아 있는지 보는 curl에 요청 주소가 없습니다. 같은 형태의 명령을 실행하면 curl: (2) no URL specified로 끝납니다. --noproxy '*'는 프록시 사용을 전부 건너뜁니다. 테스트가 쓰는 가짜 curl은 첫 두 인자만 보고 성공(0)이나 56으로 끝냅니다. 입구가 떠 있어도 이 검사는 실패합니다. PAC 모드 감시기는 앱을 고쳐서 다시 열지 않고 조용히 빠집니다.

라인 - 같은 파일의 runLaunchScript. ocx chatgpt launch와 ocx chatgpt restore는 스크립트를 만들 때 PAC 모드와 입구 포트를 넘기지 않습니다. 항상 도메인 규칙 모드입니다. pacFallback을 켜도 launch는 --host-resolver-rules로 앱을 띄웁니다. 그 방식은 opencodex가 꺼지면 죽은 루프백으로 계속 보내서, 이 PR이 막으려는 끊김이 그대로 남습니다. restore는 PAC 인자만 있는 앱을 "스위치 없음"으로 봐서, 원래 네트워크로 되돌리지 않습니다. 감시기를 설치할 때만 entryPort를 넘깁니다.

라인 - src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/entry-proxy.ts의 handleData. CONNECT를 연 뒤 bunConnect가 끝나기 전에 다음 패킷이 오면, 이미 읽은 요청을 비우지 않고 CONNECT를 한 번 더 엽니다. 연결 중이라는 표시가 없습니다. TLS 클라이언트 헬로가 다음 패킷이면 200 Connection established가 소켓에 두 번 나갈 수 있습니다. 그러면 암호 연결이 깨집니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

#5733과 이 PR을 둘 다 머지하면 데스크톱 가로채기 전체가 두 번 들어갑니다. PAC를 이 PR로 합칠 계획이면 #5733을 닫으세요. #5733을 먼저 넣을 계획이면 이 브랜치는 PAC 커밋만 남기세요.

PR 본문은 pacFallback이 unblockSend를 켠다고 적습니다. 코드와 테스트는 unblockSend도 참일 때만 PAC를 켭니다. 어느 쪽이 맞는 동작인지 정하세요.

종료 로그는 PAC로 띄운 앱이 죽은 입구를 가리킨다고 경고합니다. chatgpt status는 시스템 체인으로 알아서 넘어간다고 적습니다. 설계 설명은 status 쪽입니다. 경고 문장을 설계와 맞추세요.

이 PR은 초안입니다. 준비 체크는 0/4입니다.

너의 추천

entry_ours에는 검사할 주소로 chatgpt.com을 넣고, --noproxy '*'는 빼세요. launch와 restore에도 설치 경로와 같이 PAC 모드와 입구 포트를 넘기세요. 입구 프록시는 CONNECT를 시작한 순간부터 다음 바이트를 한곳의 대기 버퍼에만 쌓고, 업스트림이 붙은 뒤에 한 번만 넘기세요. #5733과 이 PR 중 하나만 남기세요. 초안 체크를 채운 뒤에 머지하면 됩니다.

Inline comments:
In `@docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/chatgpt-desktop.md`:
- Around line 69-70: Update the ChatGPT Desktop guide and its seven translated
versions to document the opt-in `chatgptDesktop.pacFallback` configuration.
Distinguish system-proxy launch arguments from generated-PAC-URL launches,
explain that PAC fallback can use the captured proxy chain after opencodex
stops, and correct the troubleshooting guidance so it does not imply every
routed app depends on the stopped listener.

In `@scripts/test-layout/layout.json`:
- Around line 1954-1963: Remove duplicate ChatGPT test mappings, retaining
exactly one mapping per test in both JSON objects. In
scripts/test-layout/layout.json (lines 1954-1963), deduplicate the explicit
mappings, including rewrite.test.ts; in tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
(lines 1618-1626), deduplicate each unblock-* test mapping.

In `@src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/entry-proxy.ts`:
- Around line 41-74: Update handleData and the socket handlers to preserve bytes
when write accepts only part of a chunk: queue each unwritten remainder and
flush it on the destination’s drain event in both tunnel directions, including
leftover bytes. Track the queues in EntryState and wire drain handling for both
sockets so no tunnel data is dropped.
- Around line 84-87: Update the CONNECT success handler that assigns
state.upstream to disable the client socket timeout before writing the 200
response, so the header deadline no longer closes an established tunnel.

In `@src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/launch-watcher.ts`:
- Around line 489-510: Update runLaunchScript, launchChatgptWithRule, and
restoreChatgptNative to accept and forward PAC-mode options to
buildChatgptUnblockWatcherScript; update the launch and restore call sites in
the CLI to derive and pass the PAC entry port using the existing configuration
logic. In the script’s native-mode app_flagged check, recognize both PAC and
resolver switches so restore removes either launch mode.

In `@src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/pac.ts`:
- Around line 33-40: Update parseScutilOutput in
src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/pac.ts (lines 33-40) to parse scutil’s
colon-delimited key/value lines and make the parser accessible to tests or
expose an equivalent string-accepting entry point. In
tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-pac.test.ts (lines 4-8), add coverage using the
SCUTIL_SYSTEM_PROXY fixture and assert the resulting chain contains the two
PROXY entries and one SOCKS5 entry at 127.0.0.1:7892.

In `@src/chatgpt/desktop-unblock/ws-relay.ts`:
- Around line 125-134: Update the successful-handshake path in finish to keep an
error listener on the socket until WsRelay.attach installs its handlers, so late
errors cannot become uncaught exceptions. Preserve handling for handshake
failures and ensure the listener remains effective if upgrade fails or the app
disconnects before attach.

In `@src/cli/chatgpt-command.ts`:
- Line 69: Handle the uninstall-watcher action before calling
resolveChatgptUnblockPort in the CLI flow; watcher removal does not require a
port, so it must work even when port resolution would throw. Keep port
resolution for actions that use the intercept port.
- Line 119: Update the direct command paths in `chatgpt-command.ts`: at line
119, pass the selected PAC mode and its entry port through the launch-script
path; at line 128, pass the selected PAC mode to the restore-script path so it
recognizes and removes the PAC switch. Keep the existing resolver-mode behavior
intact.

In `@src/cli/registry.ts`:
- Around line 497-500: Update the `install-watcher` and `launch` help details in
the registry to describe both configuration-dependent launch modes: the
host-resolver rule and the PAC fallback using `--proxy-pac-url`. Keep the
descriptions concise and make clear that the selected mode depends on
configuration.

In `@tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-entry-proxy.test.ts`:
- Around line 55-85: Replace the ineffective checks in the end-to-end splice
test with a real round trip over the same TCP socket: connect to the entry
proxy, issue CONNECT, upgrade that socket with TLS, request the unblock
endpoint, and assert the response contains the service id. Also verify
backpressure with a local fake upstream returning a multi-megabyte body, read it
slowly, and assert its byte count and hash match.

In `@tests/chatgpt-unblock/unblock-runtime.test.ts`:
- Around line 58-90: Update the PAC-mode tests to obtain an available base port
by briefly listening on port 0, then use it for the origin and derive the entry
port as base port + 1; in the bind-failure test, occupy that derived entry port.
Remove the unused first Bun.connect call from the connection probe, keeping the
existing probe that verifies the entry accepts connections.

Thanks for the review. All points are addressed on the new head 5b458ee52:

Line findings

  • entry_ours — the probe now fetches http://chatgpt.com/ through the entry as an HTTP proxy, without --noproxy; the test stub keys on the proxied form (65b69f8).
  • launch / restore — both build the script for the configured mode and entry port, and restore recognizes a PAC-launched app (65b69f8).
  • Second CONNECT during the dial — bytes that arrive while the upstream dial is in flight are queued, the app socket is paused, and only one 200 is ever sent; covered by a test that writes payload and a second CONNECT right behind the head (65b69f8, 0d9f05f).

Maintainer decisions

Also fixed from the CodeRabbit review: the scutil parser read Key = value while scutil --proxy prints Key : value, so the captured chain was always empty; the splice dropped bytes under backpressure (8 MiB regression test); the head deadline never fired in the current Bun; a system PAC is now embedded instead of degrading to DIRECT; and a failed start releases both listeners.

Requesting changes on exact head b6e97f35. proxy-env.ts accepts authenticated SOCKS URLs from ALL_PROXY and scheme-matched variables, but ws-upstream.ts:218-223 advertises only SOCKS5 no-auth and rejects a username/password method. With socks5://user:pass@proxy, ordinary fetch transport can authenticate while ChatGPT voice/dictation WebSocket upgrade fails with 502.

Implement RFC 1929 username/password negotiation (including decoded credential and length bounds) or fail the proxy selection before claiming support. Reuse the existing authenticated SOCKS transport contract and add exact handshake tests for success, refusal, malformed replies, and cleanup. Exact-head executable CI is currently absent.

Adds an opt-in `chatgptDesktop.unblockSend` integration for the ChatGPT
desktop app. When enabled, the service binds a local TLS listener for
`chatgpt.com` (shared intercept CA, port defaults to public port + 200)
and rewrites the subscription-quota send locks out of the payloads the
desktop app reads:

- `blocked_features[send|tpp_send]` and `limits_progress[send]` entries
  in conversation payloads
- `rate_limit.allowed` / `rate_limit.limit_reached` gate flags in the
  `/backend-api/wham/usage` snapshot and usage stream

Quota display stays honest: percentages, reset timestamps and the
upsell banner pass through byte-identical, so the app keeps showing the
account's real usage while the composer unlocks for turns whose model
calls are routed to third-party providers by opencodex.

Design notes:
- Launch rule (`--host-resolver-rules=MAP chatgpt.com 127.0.0.1:<port>`)
  is printed at startup; only the exact host `chatgpt.com` is mapped, so
  auth.openai.com and the codex-cloud WebSocket stay native.
- Fire-and-forget lifecycle like the Claude intercept: a bind failure
  degrades to a warning and never blocks startup.
- SSE is rewritten line-buffered; untouched streams keep their exact
  chunking and line endings.
- Config group is opt-in, off by default, malformed reads as off.

Tests: 11 cases over JSON/SSE rewrite, gate flipping, unchanged
detection, malformed-entry passthrough and display-field preservation.
The Chromium resolver rule only applies when the app is launched with it,
so a normal Dock/Spotlight launch reaches the real chatgpt.com and the
composer locks again. Adds a launchd agent that watches the app's
Electron SingletonLock (written on every launch) and, exactly once per
launch, restarts the app with the resolver rule if it was started
without one. There is no resident polling process: launchd wakes the
one-shot script on the lock event and the script exits after one check.

- `ocx chatgpt status|install-watcher|uninstall-watcher|launch`
- The watcher only acts when the opencodex intercept listener is
  actually listening, so with the feature off the app stays native.
- Install is idempotent (bootout + bootstrap) and survives reboots.
… fixes

Launch and watcher
- Pass the resolver rule as one --host-resolver-rules= switch (a bare MAP
  argument is ignored by Chromium) and detect it the same way.
- Build launch arguments from the system proxy at launch time: with an
  HTTP(S)/SOCKS system proxy add --proxy-server=<proxy>,direct:// and
  --proxy-bypass-list=chatgpt.com, otherwise the resolver rule alone. No VPN
  rules are required; PAC degrades to the rule alone.
- One script serves the launchd watcher, `ocx chatgpt launch` and the new
  `ocx chatgpt restore` (native relaunch). Quit is confirmed before reopening,
  runs are serialised with a lock, and the app is found by exact process name.
- The watcher acts only when the port answers the listener's identity path,
  not merely when something listens there.
- install/uninstall-watcher propagate launchctl failures; install asks for
  confirmation (--yes non-interactive); plist and script values are escaped.

Listener
- Relay WebSocket upgrades on the intercepted host (voice dictation and any
  other endpoint) through the configured proxy (HTTP CONNECT / SOCKS5 / direct).
- Rewrite only conversation/init, the conversation stream and wham/usage;
  everything else passes through byte-identical.
- Remove only quota send blocks; keep eligibility and unknown reasons
  (e.g. work_subscription_required) and report them in status.
- Handle 204/205/304 and HEAD without a body, CRLF-framed SSE lines, and drop
  alt-svc so the app does not attempt HTTP/3.
- Reject an out-of-range derived port with guidance.

Status and docs
- `ocx chatgpt status` reports listener identity, CA trust, kept send blocks
  and an app routed at a listener that is gone; stop warns about the latter.
- List `ocx chatgpt` in the help banner (missing on the PR head) and note the
  ChatGPT lifecycle in the optionalListeners.start() synchronous-window entry.
- Add the ChatGPT Desktop guide in English and all seven locales.
…ttps:// + credentialed proxies

- The relay's fragmentation buffer now enforces WEBSOCKET_MAX_FRAME_BYTES as a
  total payload limit alongside the 1024-chunk cap, failing with 1009.
- dialUpstreamTunnel TLS-wraps https:// proxy sockets before the CONNECT
  handshake (SNI omitted for IP-literal proxies, which node:tls forbids) and
  sends Basic Proxy-Authorization when the proxy URL carries credentials.
…ttach

readResponseHead removed its error listener once the upstream 101 head was
read, and WsRelay.attach() adds new ones only when Bun opens the app-side
websocket. An upstream reset in that gap (or after a failed upgrade) emitted
'error' with no listener, which the emitter throws -- taking the whole proxy
down for an optional integration. A no-op listener now covers the gap.

Also drops the duplicate chatgpt-unblock keys from the test-layout files:
each test is mapped once, in the sorted body.
…x stopping

Opt-in via chatgptDesktop.pacFallback. Instead of a host-resolver rule, the
app is launched with --proxy-pac-url pointing at a generated PAC file: the
intercepted host goes to a new loopback CONNECT entry listener that splices
onto the TLS origin listener, and every other host goes to the system proxy
chain captured from scutil --proxy at generation time (VPN-state dependent,
never hard-coded DIRECT) with DIRECT last. When opencodex stops the entry
listener dies and Chromium falls through the PAC chain on its own -- the app
keeps working with no restart. The launch watcher refuses to start the app
in PAC mode unless the entry listener is answering, and /chatgpt status
reports the mode, entry port, and per-mode launch switches.
- The scutil parser read `Key = value`; the real `scutil --proxy` prints
  `Key : value`, so the captured system chain was always empty and every
  generated PAC degraded to DIRECT. Accept both separators and test the
  parser against the real output shape.
- entry_ours probed the entry with curl -x but no URL and --noproxy '*',
  which bypasses the proxy under test; the probe now fetches a
  chatgpt.com URL through the entry as an HTTP proxy. The launch script
  refuses to route the app while the entry is down, as before.
- ocx chatgpt launch and restore always built a resolver-rule script even
  with pacFallback on; both now pass the mode and entry port, and restore
  recognizes a PAC-routed app. The registry wording no longer assumes the
  resolver rule.
- The entry proxy re-entered the head parser for bytes arriving while the
  upstream dial was in flight, which could answer a second CONNECT and
  emit two 200 heads on one tunnel. Bytes are queued until the splice is
  live.
- uninstall-watcher now works even when the intercept port cannot be
  resolved from config.
- The shutdown warning in PAC mode now says the app falls back to the
  captured system chain (it does not point at a dead entry), matching the
  status output and design.
…dline

Bun sockets are unbuffered: write() takes what fits and returns the count,
so the splice dropped the remainder whenever a peer's buffer filled -- a
large response to a slow app-side reader corrupted the TLS stream. Each
direction now queues the unwritten bytes, pauses the producing socket and
flushes on drain; a closing peer's queue is flushed before the other side
is ended. The app socket is also paused while the upstream dial is in
flight.

socket.timeout() without a timeout handler never closes the socket in the
current Bun, so the 10 s head deadline never fired; a handler now ends a
socket that has not opened a tunnel, and the deadline is cleared once the
tunnel is live.

The weak "end to end" test is replaced by real tunnel tests: an 8 MiB TLS
response through the entry to a reader that pauses mid-stream (fails on
the old splice, passes at 64 KiB there), a tunnel idling past the head
deadline, a silent client closed at the deadline, and payload sent right
behind the CONNECT head.
…iled start

With a system PAC configured (the PAC mode of VPN clients such as
ShadowsocksX-NG), scutil exposes no proxies, so the generated PAC sent
every other host DIRECT and bypassed the PAC's per-host routing. The
system PAC is now read at start -- file:// from disk, http(s):// through
node:http, since Bun's fetch sends even loopback requests through
HTTP(S)_PROXY -- and embedded in a function scope; the generated
FindProxyForURL sends chatgpt.com to the entry and then the system
answer, and every other host to the system answer. An unreadable system
PAC degrades to DIRECT with a startup warning.

A PAC write failure after the entry bound left the entry listening; both
listeners are now released. Duplicate chain entries (the same proxy for
HTTPS and HTTP) are folded.

Tests evaluate generated PACs in a VM for three ways a system PAC may
declare its entry point, load PACs from file://, loopback http:// with a
dead HTTP_PROXY set, and the failure cases, and move the runtime tests
off the default 10300/10301 pair.
Adds the opt-in pacFallback setting, how the generated PAC routes other
hosts per network setup, and its shutdown behaviour; the network-setups
table and the "opencodex stopped" troubleshooting entry now say they
describe the default mode. Same change in all eight locales.
restore only recognized the switch of the configured mode, so after
pacFallback was toggled it left an app launched with the other switch in
place. The native path now matches either switch; watch and launch keep
the mode-specific check. Drops an unused variable in the script builder.

The relay's raw dial offered NO-AUTH only, but proxy selection hands it the
same credentialed socks5:// URL the fetch tunnel accepts, so voice and
dictation upgrades failed with 502 against authenticated proxies while every
other request authenticated fine. Extract the handshake both transports share
into src/lib/socks5-handshake.ts: method negotiation, the RFC 1929
username/password subnegotiation with decoded credentials and length bounds,
and the CONNECT exchange, so a given proxy URL authenticates identically on
the fetch and raw-dial routes. Byte-level handshake tests plus authenticated
end-to-end relay cases cover success, refusal, malformed replies, and the
socket cleanup a failed dial owes.

Reject malformed chatgptDesktop values on live writes.

A live candidate containing { unblockSend: true, port: 65536 } can pass validateConfigCandidate with chatgptDesktop removed. The schema rejects the invalid port, but the outer .catch(undefined) converts that failure into an absent block. The write path therefore does not report the invalid port and can silently disable the requested integration.

Keep fail-off behavior for malformed hand-edited files, but reject invalid chatgptDesktop flags and ports at the live-candidate boundary before configSchema.safeParse.

Document both desktop launch modes.

When pacFallback is enabled with unblockSend, the app launches with a PAC URL, not the resolver rule described here. State that the resolver rule applies to the default mode and that PAC fallback uses a PAC URL. This prevents readers of OcxConfig.chatgptDesktop from choosing the wrong launch route.

Release train 4 triage (reviewed against dev 24b2f39 at head eb6953b; T4-P-5947): Hold. PAC fallback/CONNECT feature remains unproven in the live stopped-proxy Chromium path. Demonstrate it in ChatGPT Desktop, review CA/proxy trust, refresh dev and run required exact-head CI. The feature PR stays open for that work.

The current head eb6953b8c78497931147966791f9bf804f953398 still has a write-boundary validation hole. chatgptDesktop is parsed with .catch(undefined), but validateConfigCandidate() does not validate that block before persistence. A nonempty invalid value such as { "unblockSend": true, "port": 65536 } can therefore be accepted as a successful save while the entire block is silently dropped, disabling the feature. Reject invalid nonempty values at the live write boundary and add a regression proving config remains unchanged. Also update the src/types/config.ts comment that still describes only resolver mode, resolve the current test-layout merge conflict/rebase onto current dev, and obtain exact-head CI plus the documented macOS stopped-proxy PAC fallback proof before re-review.

#6196 supplies live macOS evidence for the blocker on this PR: the authoritative WHAM/conversation gate reads are made by the bundled Rust app-server, while this implementation only redirects Chromium with --host-resolver-rules / --proxy-pac-url. The listener saw zero app traffic over the reported run even though the PAC/CA path was independently healthy. This means readiness fixes alone cannot make the feature satisfy its stated user contract on that client build. Please redesign around the app-server transport or explicitly narrow platform support after exact client UAT.
