Summary

In Pool mode with the Codex app signed in as the main login and stored accounts added alongside it,
automatic placement never picked main. Every unpinned request went to a stored account whatever the
usage numbers, the strategy or codexAccountPriorities said, and main served only when pinned or
when no stored account could be selected at all.

The cause is one predicate. resolveCodexAuthContext hands selection
isMainAccountTokenLive: () => preserveRequestOwnedMainPin whenever the request carries main's own
forwardable bearer. That value answers a different question — is main the effective manual pin with
headroom — so for an unpinned request it is false, codexAccountUnusableReason returns
main_credential_unavailable, getEligiblePoolAccounts never lists main, and the strategy compares
only the stored accounts. Main was still reachable afterwards through resolveCallerOwnedMainContext,
but only as the fallback when nothing else was selectable, so a pool with one stored sibling degraded
to "stored account until it cannot serve, then main".

The fence that predicate sits behind is correct and is kept: a request carrying its own main bearer
must not read or reconcile the stored auth.json. But that same bearer is what would be forwarded if
main were selected, so it is main's live credential for this request. requestOwnedMainCredentialIsLive
now answers from the credential the request actually carries, and main is compared against the stored
accounts on the operator's own ordering. When selection names main, the request returns
resolveCallerOwnedMainContext() immediately — before any physical claim, token refresh or
materialization — so nothing reads, reconciles, primes or cools the stored profile, and the
request-owned credential still owns no affinity, entitlement or health state.

Deliberately unchanged:

  • Account-gated models. Main stays out of modelEligibleAccountIds, because its roster is
    discovered from the stored credential this request may not read, so candidacy alone cannot
    manufacture a grant. That set currently holds one non-flagship slug, so it does not affect the
    models in the report.
  • Retained recovery and a draining profile. Both still make main ineligible; they fence the
    identity rather than the credential. The new expression is monotone against the old one — an
    effective pin answers exactly as before — so the only behavior added is the unpinned case.
  • nativeMainSelectionOnly. Still derived from the drain alone.

The predicate is shared rather than copied, for the reason poolStateEligible is: preview exists to
predict the resolution, and a preview that scores main differently hands subagent fallback a different
account than the one that serves. Final authentication and both preview builders in
request-prepare.ts (initial and post-decryption recovery) call the one exported expression, which is
the divergence class #4850 closed.

The behavior change a reviewer should look at first

Because main is now scored, main's own recorded model failure reaches subagent fallback, where it was
previously invisible. responses-preview-main-read-fence.test.ts encoded the old answer in
"ownership alone leaves selection-only off", whose assertion was finalAuth = pool-a with the
physical file deleted. That case is replaced by the two directions of the new contract rather than
relaxed, and both keep the deleted auth.json, so any path that still needed the physical credential
takes an ENOENT instead of a quiet fallback.

This touches credential selection, so it needs the explicit security review MAINTAINERS.md requires
for auth paths. I am not merging it.

Closes #5019

Verification

Local verification was not run: this lane forbids any local suite, focused test, typecheck, build,
install, or ocx invocation, so hosted CI is the executable verification for this change. What was
done instead is a static trace of the full chain — resolveCodexAuthContext
nativeMainReadsForbiddenisMainAccountTokenLivecodexAccountUnusableReason
getEligiblePoolAccounts → strategy → resolveCallerOwnedMainContext — against the base commit,
plus a check that PRs #4921, #4676 and #4935 did not already alter it (they did not: #4676 contains no
file in this path, and #4935's cohort keying never applies to a request-owned credential because
poolStateEligible excludes it).

  • tests/responses/responses-preview-main-read-fence.test.ts now covers both directions: main is
    selected and served from the caller's bearer with the model untouched and the denial-cache
    validator never running, and a failure recorded against main reaches subagent fallback. The
    discriminator in the first case is that the recorded failure belongs to pool-a, so leaving the
    model alone is only possible if preview scored main.
  • The pin case, the "preview that owns no credential still probes physical main liveness" case, and
    the ownership-validation case in the same file bound the change from the other side: an ordinary
    request that brought no credential still probes, and the pin path answers as before.
  • Ratchet: the fence test goes from 542 to 587 lines with no baseline entry against a 2000-line
    threshold. tests/codex-integration/codex-auth-context.test.ts has five lines of cap headroom and
    was deliberately not touched.
  • Merge-union check: this adds no count, roster, locale catalog or exhaustive map. It exports one new
    expression and changes three call sites of one predicate, all within the files above.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Requests using the main account’s forwarded credential are now eligible for normal account selection without requiring a manual pin.
    • Selected main-account requests use the caller’s credential instead of unnecessarily falling back to stored accounts.
    • Recorded main-account failures now participate in fallback routing, including configured alternative models.
    • Preview and final authentication now apply consistent account eligibility and routing behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Updated provider guidance to describe main-account selection, exclusions, and fallback behavior.

In Pool mode, the synthetic main-liveness answer for a request carrying main's
own forwardable bearer was the manual-pin predicate. For an unpinned request
that predicate is false, so codexAccountUnusableReason reported
main_credential_unavailable, getEligiblePoolAccounts never listed main, and the
strategy compared only the stored accounts. Main then served only as the
fallback after every stored account had failed, so a pool with one stored
sibling degraded to "stored account until it cannot serve, then main" whatever
the usage numbers, the strategy or codexAccountPriorities said.

requestOwnedMainCredentialIsLive now answers that question from the credential
the request actually carries, and final authentication plus both previews share
the one expression. A selected main is served from the caller's bearer before
any physical claim or materialization, so the read fence is unchanged: no
stored entitlement discovery, denial-cache validation, reconciliation, priming,
affinity or health state. Account-gated models stay excluded, and retained
recovery or a draining profile still make main ineligible.

Closes #5019

Caller-owned main requests can alter shared Pool routing state despite the intended isolation, affecting subsequent Pool selection. The bearer-forwarding regression test also does not fully protect the required caller credential behavior. Resolve these before merging.

Explanation

Issue #5019 requires request-owned main to participate in Pool ordering, remain served from the caller bearer, and avoid stored credential reads and durable Pool state. The current summary shows implementation in src/codex/auth-context.ts and preview alignment in src/server/responses/request-prepare.ts. The test file tests/responses/responses-preview-main-read-fence.test.ts covers ordering, fallback, ownership, and the auth.json read fence. However, current hosted CI reports unresolved cooldown failures, unstable caller identity, and a shared Pool cursor write of __main__ when request-owned main is selected. That cursor write violates the no-durable-state requirement. CI also reports a credential-independence failure, which leaves the caller-owned credential boundary unresolved. The repository diff could not be read because the immutable objects were unavailable, so exact changed line numbers are not established.

Resolution

Prevent request-owned main selection from writing __main__ or any other durable Pool cursor, and preserve stable caller identity and cooldown semantics across reuse and resurrection cases. Isolate direct, Pool, and API credential classes. Add or repair regression tests for these cases, then rerun the hosted authentication and Pool test suites and complete the required security review.

이 PR은 지금 dev tip(88249ed75, #5020 Vietnamese native-main locale, package 2.59.0) 위에서 이슈 #5019를 고친다. Pool 모드에서 Codex 앱이 main으로 로그인돼 있고 저장 계정이 하나 더 있을 때, 핀을 안 건 요청은 사용량·전략·codexAccountPriorities가 뭐라고 하든 항상 저장 계정만 탄다. main은 핀했을 때나 저장 계정을 하나도 고를 수 없을 때만 나온다. 원인은 한 줄의 예측이다. resolveCodexAuthContext(src/codex/auth-context.ts)가 요청이 main 자신의 forwardable bearer를 들고 있으면 isMainAccountTokenLive: () => preserveRequestOwnedMainPin을 selection에 넘긴다. 그 값은 “지금 main이 유효한 수동 핀이냐”에 대한 답이라, 언핀 요청에서는 false가 되고 codexAccountUnusableReasonmain_credential_unavailable을 돌려 getEligiblePoolAccounts에 main이 안 들어가며, 전략은 저장 계정끼리만 비교한다. 그 뒤 resolveCallerOwnedMainContext로는 여전히 도달하지만, “다른 후보가 없을 때” 폴백뿐이라 저장 형제 하나 있는 풀이 “저장 계정이 못 줄 때까지 저장, 그다음 main”으로 퇴화한다.

고침의 핵심은 공유 식 requestOwnedMainCredentialIsLive다. 요청이 들고 온 forwardable bearer가 곧 main의 live credential이므로, 저장된 auth.json을 읽지 않고도 “live인가?”에 yes라고 답한다. 유효 수동 핀은 예전처럼 yes다. retained recovery나 프로필 drain처럼 신원을 막는 펜스는 그대로 no다. 그래서 식은 예전 답에 대해 단조(monotone)이고, 새로 열리는 동작은 언핀 + request-owned bearer 경우뿐이다. selection이 main을 고르면 물리 claim·토큰 refresh·materialization 전에 resolveCallerOwnedMainContext()로 바로 돌려, 저장 프로필을 읽거나 맞추거나 식히지 않는다. 같은 식을 final auth와 request-prepare.ts의 초기/복구 preview 두 곳이 같이 쓰므로, preview가 main을 다르게 점수 매겨 subagent fallback에 다른 계정을 넘기는 #4850 계열 분기를 다시 막는다.

의도적으로 안 바꾼 것도 분명하다. account-gated 모델의 modelEligibleAccountIds에서는 main이 계속 빠진다. 로스터는 저장 credential에서 나오는데 이 요청은 그걸 읽으면 안 되므로, 후보만으로 grant를 만들 수 없다. nativeMainSelectionOnly는 여전히 drain만으로 유도된다. 리뷰어가 먼저 볼 동작 변화는 이것이다. main이 이제 점수에 들어가므로, main에 기록된 모델 실패가 subagent fallback에 보이게 된다. 예전엔 main을 아예 안 점수 매겨서 그 실패가 안 보였다. 테스트 responses-preview-main-read-fence.test.ts는 예전 “ownership alone leaves selection-only off” 케이스를 양쪽 계약으로 갈아끼웠다. 물리 auth.json은 계속 지운 채로, (1) main이 선택되고 caller bearer로 200이 나가며 denial-cache validator가 돌지 않는지, (2) main 실패가 fallback에 도달하는지를 잠근다. 첫 케이스의 판별자는 기록된 실패가 pool-a 소속이라, preview가 pool-a를 골랐다면 모델을 XAI fallback으로 바꿨을 텐데 모델이 그대로면 preview가 main을 골랐다는 뜻이다. types/config 대분할과 무관하고, 중복 open PR도 이 키워드로는 #5024(#5019)만 보인다. 작성자 본문대로 auth 경로라 MAINTAINERS.md 보안 리뷰가 필요하고 본인이 머지하지 않는다고 명시했다.

라인 auth-context.ts requestOwnedMainCredentialIsLive - 공유 식이 pin OR (requestScoped AND NOT blocked AND NOT draining)이다. 핀 경로는 예전과 같고, 언핀에서만 main이 후보가 된다. 식 자체는 짧고 주석이 #4850/#5019 이유를 잘 적었다.
라인 resolveCodexAuthContext selection 직후 early return - selected === MAIN 이고 request-owned이면 releaseTransientProbeGrant() 후 caller-owned context로 바로 나간다. 물리 claim 전에 끊는 점이 펜스와 맞다. transient probe grant를 먼저 푸는지도 맞춰 두었다.
라인 request-prepare.ts preview / recovery - final과 같은 식을 두 번 다시 계산한다. 복구 경로에서 route가 바뀐 뒤에도 같은 식을 쓰는 점이 좋다. 하드코딩 true/false로 갈라지지 않게 한 것이 #4850 교훈과 맞다.
라인 테스트 ownership→ordinary candidate - upstreamAuth가 pool-access-token도 physical-main-token도 아니어야 하고, denial-cache main read stack이 비어야 한다. “조용한 폴백으로 저장 토큰을 쓰는” 회귀를 직접 막는다. status 200 + kind main이 함께 있어야 계약이 성립한다.
라인 테스트 recorded main failure → fallback - main이 이제 서브에이전트 실패 캐시에 보이므로, 운영자가 “예전엔 main 실패를 무시하고 저장 계정만 돌렸다”는 체감을 잃는다. 버그 수정의 필연적 부작용이지만 릴리즈 노트/이슈 코멘트에 한 줄 적어 두는 편이 안전하다.
경로 검증 메모 - 레인 정책상 로컬 suite/typecheck를 돌리지 않았고 hosted CI가 실행 검증이다. 정적 추적(resolveCodexAuthContext → fence → liveness → unusableReason → eligible → strategy → caller-owned)과 #4921/#4676/#4935가 이 경로를 안 건드렸다는 확인은 본문에 있다. 지금 checks는 대부분 pending.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • MAINTAINERS.md가 요구하는 auth/credential selection 보안 리뷰를 누가 sign-off할지(요청 리뷰어 Ingwannu 포함).
  • main 실패가 subagent fallback에 보이는 동작 변화를 릴리즈 노트에 명시할지, Pool routing never selects the main login automatically when the request carries that login's own bearer #5019 닫힘 코멘트만으로 충분할지.
  • account-gated 모델에서 main을 계속 빼는 현재 경계를 유지할지(본문: 로스터를 저장 credential에서만 알 수 있음).
  • CI(test 샤드·gates·hygiene) 초록 + 보안 리뷰 완료 후에만 머지할지.

너의 추천
방향은 맞다. #5019의 재현(언핀 + main bearer + 저장 형제 하나 → 항상 저장만)을 펜스를 깨지 않고 고치는 최소 축이고, preview/final 공유 식까지 맞춰 #4850 회귀도 막았다. 다만 credential selection이라 CI 초록만으로 바로 누르지 말고, 명시 보안 리뷰 한 바퀴 후 머지하는 편이 맞다. 머지 시 #5019를 Closes로 닫으면 된다. types.ts/config.ts 대분할에 무효화되지 않으므로 close-don't-rebase 대상이 아니다.

P1 Badge Keep caller-main selections eligible for pool failover

When the request-owned bearer wins pool ordering here, it is returned as { kind: "main", accountId: null }. The downstream alternate-account path in src/server/responses/passthrough-dispatch.ts is gated by usesCodexForwardPoolAuth, which accepts only pool and main-pool, so a pre-stream 429/402 or transient 5xx from this bearer is returned directly even when a stored sibling is available. Before this change, the caller bearer was used only after stored candidates were exhausted; preserve enough selection origin to retry with __main__ excluded, without attributing durable health state to the request-owned credential.

CI on this branch cannot produce a test signal, for a reason that predates it

This branch is based on 11bc4f708c, which was the dev tip when it was cut, and that commit
fails bun run build:gui:

src/i18n/native-main-copy.ts(11,26): error TS7053: Element implicitly has an 'any' type because
expression of type 'LabLocale' can't be used to index type '{ en: ... }'.
  Property 'vi' does not exist on type '{ en: ... }'.

It is a union defect between two individually correct merges. e80e571f63 (#4984) added vi to
LabLocale, which Locale aliases; 11bc4f708c (#4781) then added
gui/src/i18n/native-main-translations.ts as a deliberately "closed, nine-locale namespace" and
indexes it with that ten-member Locale. Each was green on its own. The dev push run for
11bc4f708c is red for exactly this
(35311351776).

Every test leg builds the GUI first, because the suite serves gui/dist and reads it back, so
"Test in fresh-process batches" is skipped rather than run. The red checks here are therefore not
evidence about this change in either direction.

#5020 fixed it and is merged, so dev at 88249ed750 builds again. I did not rebase this branch,
because integration is the maintainer's call in this lane. To get a real signal I cherry-picked this
commit onto the fixed dev on a throwaway branch and dispatched the full lane there; results are
linked in a follow-up comment. Updating this branch onto current dev is all this needs.

@github-actions github-actions Bot added the bug Something isn't working label Sep 18, 2026
…dacy

Making main an ordinary candidate moved the cooled account out of the
selection, and with it the refusal that protected the cooldown: a caller whose
own credential IS a cooled Pool subscription was served as main, resurrecting
the cooldown it was inside. callerIsCooledPoolAccount only ever asked this of
the selected account, which was sufficient while main could not be selected.

Eligibility now asks it of every cooled sibling, so the caller that owns one
keeps the cooled account as its selection and the existing cooldown machinery
produces the same refusal it did before. An unreadable caller identity still
fails closed. Preview passes the term explicitly as false: cooldown identity is
not modelled there and never was, because it decides a refusal rather than
which account serves.

Found by the hosted suite: three cooldown caller-main fallback cases in
tests/codex-integration/codex-auth-context.test.ts.

What the hosted suite found, and what changed because of it

The first version of this change was wrong in a way static reading had missed, and the suite caught
it: three cases in tests/codex-integration/codex-auth-context.test.ts failed —
"a fresh request can reuse caller main after the selected Pool account enters cooldown",
"cooldown caller-main fallback never resurrects the cooled subscription", and
"cooldown caller-main fallback follows the stable user id, not the recorded email".

The mechanism is worth stating plainly, because it is the interesting part of this PR. The cooldown
fallback asks callerIsCooledPoolAccount of the selected account, and that was sufficient only
while a request-owned bearer could not make main a candidate: the cooled account was the
selection, so the question and the refusal sat in the same place. Making main an ordinary candidate
moved the cooled account out of the selection and took the refusal with it, so a caller whose own
credential is a cooled Pool subscription was served as main — resurrecting the cooldown it was
inside. That is the one behaviour in this area that must not change, and it is what the second
commit restores.

Eligibility now asks the same question of every cooled sibling, so the caller that owns one keeps
the cooled account as its selection and the existing cooldown machinery produces the same refusal it
produced before, including failing closed on an unreadable caller identity. A distinct member of the
same workspace account is still served, which is what those tests separate.

Preview passes the new term as an explicit false. Cooldown identity is not modelled in preview and
never was — callerIsCooledPoolAccount has no other caller in the tree — because it decides a
refusal rather than which account serves, so a preview that scores main while the resolution refuses
still hands subagent fallback the right account. It is passed explicitly rather than defaulted so
the asymmetry is visible at both sites.

A typecheck error on the same commit (codexQuotaScopeForModel returns CodexQuotaScope | undefined) is fixed in the third commit.

Hosted CI is re-dispatched with lane=all at the current head so the nine Windows shards run,
since the pull_request event does not schedule them.

Three of your own regressions are red at this head, all fast assertions rather than timeouts, so this is the fix not reaching the path the tests drive rather than inherited noise:

  • Codex auth context > a fresh request can reuse caller main after the selected Pool account enters cooldown (5.13ms)
  • > cooldown caller-main fallback never resurrects the cooled subscription (5.57ms)
  • > cooldown caller-main fallback follows the stable user id, not the recorded email (4.82ms)

293 other cases in that shard pass, and dev is green on it.

The second and third are the interesting pair: one says the fallback must not resurrect a cooled subscription and the other says it must follow the stable user id rather than the recorded email. If a single change can satisfy the first case but not those two, the selection is probably keying on the wrong identity, which is the same class of defect #4593 fixed for stored Direct account identity. Worth checking whether the bearer you admit and the account you record are resolved through the same key.

Do not relax any of the three to match current behaviour. If one of them states the contract wrongly, say which and why.

Not ready to merge: the exclusion was load-bearing for more than ordering

Hosted CI at 686b18063d (run 35315335211):
gates, test 1/4, test 2/4, test 3/4 and windows 1/9 pass; test 4/4 fails on the same
three cooldown cases as before, and the reason is not the one the second commit addressed.

The decisive assertion is codex-auth-context.test.ts:1351:

expect(cfg.activeCodexAccountId).toBe("pool-a")
Received: "__main__"

That is not a tie-break or an ordering complaint. Selecting main for a request-owned bearer wrote
main into the shared Pool cursor
, which is precisely the thing a request-owned credential must
never do: it exists for one request and owns no durable account state. poolStateEligible keeps
such a request out of affinity and lineage, but the strategy cursor is written by the selector
itself, and until now main could not be selected at all — so nothing had to fence that write.

The other two failures say the same thing from the other side: the cooled-subscription refusal is
keyed to the selected account, so it stopped protecting anything once main became selectable,
and the eligibility term added in the second commit did not restore it. I did not isolate why —
the likeliest cause is that it asks for the cooldown under codexQuotaScopeForModel(modelId) while
the fixture records and reads it under "shared" — and I am not going to keep guessing at it
through 25-minute CI rounds.

So the shape of this fix is wrong, and that is the useful finding. Excluding a request-owned
bearer from Pool candidacy was doing three jobs, not one: it kept main out of the comparison, out
of the shared cursor, and out of a cooldown-identity check that only ever examined the selection.
A single liveness predicate can only do the first.

What it needs instead is a candidacy that can name main without writing Pool state. The lever
already exists: previewCodexAccountForRequest is the non-persisting selector, used today to move
a request off the shared cursor without persisting the move. Ask it whether main wins the ordering
for a request-owned bearer; if it does, serve resolveCallerOwnedMainContext(); if it does not,
leave main ineligible for the real selection, so the cursor, the cooldown identity check, the probe
lease and everything else keep behaving exactly as they do today. That confines the change to the
one decision the issue is actually about and writes nothing.

I am leaving this open rather than forcing it green, because making those three tests pass by
relaxing them would delete the invariant they exist for. The first commit's diagnosis of #5019
stands and is confirmed at the tip; the remedy in it does not.

Updated read at this head, and one of these is more serious than the others.

An existing invariant is broken. server local API auth > OpenAI option auth matrix keeps direct, pool, and API credentials independent fails at 491.53ms in test 1/4, with 264 other cases in that shard passing. That case is not yours and it is not a timeout. It exists to assert that the three credential classes stay separate, and this change lets a request-owned main bearer take part in pool selection — which is precisely the boundary it guards.

Please treat that as the primary finding rather than as collateral. The question it forces is whether "a caller's main bearer may be selected for a pool request" can be true at all without direct and pool credentials becoming reachable from each other. If it can, the mechanism needs to be explicit about what keeps them independent; if it cannot, the feature needs a different shape. This sits on the credential boundary that AGENTS.md puts behind explicit security review, so a change here has to state its argument rather than demonstrate it only by tests passing.

Your own three regressions are still red, now on Windows as well as Linux: a fresh request can reuse caller main after the selected Pool account enters cooldown, cooldown caller-main fallback never resurrects the cooled subscription, and > follows the stable user id, not the recorded email. All sub-100ms assertions, so not #4956.

The pairing is suggestive: the two that fail are the ones constraining which identity the fallback follows and what it must not resurrect. If a single change satisfies the first case but not those two, the selection is probably keying on the wrong identity — the same class #4593 fixed for stored Direct account identity. Worth checking whether the bearer you admit and the account you record resolve through the same key.

Do not relax any of the four. If the independence assertion is the one that is wrong, that is a much larger claim and needs to be argued explicitly.

I verified the selection change at exact head 686b18063d. The report is real and this direction is close, but the new caller-main winner loses pool recovery.

When the request-owned main bearer wins ordering, resolveCodexAuthContext returns kind: "main" with no account id. Downstream alternate-account recovery is gated by usesCodexForwardPoolAuth, which accepts only pool and main-pool. A pre-stream 429/402 or eligible transient failure from that caller bearer therefore returns directly even when a stored sibling is available. Preserve enough request-scoped selection origin to retry with __main__ excluded, while still refusing durable health/affinity ownership for the caller credential.

Also fix the current strict-type mismatch around an absent quota scope and strengthen the regression to compare the exact caller bearer sent upstream, not only negative non-equality assertions. This is an authentication boundary, so keep it unmerged until those paths, focused recovery tests, exact-head CI, and explicit security review are green.

🟡 Minor · Keep caller-owned main selections out of shared Pool state. · auth-context.ts:1178-1187

src/codex/auth-context.ts:1178-1187
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep caller-owned main selections out of shared Pool state.

An unpinned request-owned bearer can enter resolveCodexAccountForThreadDetailed before the early return at src/codex/auth-context.ts:1184. When MAIN_CODEX_ACCOUNT_ID ("__main__") is eligible, src/codex/routing.ts:1091-1119 commits the selection first. Round-robin updates the Pool rotation state and shared runtime cursor. Fill-first and reset-first update the shared runtime cursor. The quota fallback can also call setActiveCodexAccount at src/codex/routing.ts:1122-1157, which persists "__main__" to configuration. The request then returns the caller-owned credential, even though that credential must not own Pool state.

Move the guard to the routing/selection boundary. Pass the request-owned-main context into selection and skip rememberActiveCodexAccount, notePoolRotationSuccess, and setActiveCodexAccount when the selected account is MAIN_CODEX_ACCOUNT_ID. Keep these commits for configured Pool accounts.

Refreshed this branch onto the current dev (f02f3613be) and pushed the merge as 3af080fb4c. The prior run was 32 commits behind; the refresh did not change the outcome, so this is not the stale-base class.

Three shards fail, and every failure is the same sentence: something that used to resolve to a pool account now resolves to __main__.

  • tests/codex-integration/codex-auth-context.test.ts:1351 expects pool-a and receives __main__; :1399 and :1446 expect a rejection and get a resolved promise.
  • tests/server/server-auth.test.ts, expectFileMainUnchanged at :1869 via :1885, expects undefined and receives __main__.
  • tests/codex-integration/main-account-hard-lock-auth.test.ts:384 expects a resolve and gets a rejection.

That is the title of this PR happening. Letting a request-owned main bearer take part in pool ordering means it can win an ordering that several existing contracts assume it can never enter, including the hard-lock path, which is a security-relevant one rather than a fixture detail. The failures are therefore the interesting output of the change, not an obstacle in front of it: each one names a place where the intended behavior has to be stated deliberately or excluded.

Leaving this open rather than merging. dev stays green at f02f3613be.
