Spawned from Stage Sort Freshness session. Codex command PATH resolved /usr/bin/ruby before /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.3/bin, causing bin/rails/bin/rubocop Bundler failures until commands were prefixed with PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin:/pkg/env/global/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/Users/alex/.codex/packages/standalone/releases/0.142.3-aarch64-apple-darwin/codex-path:/Users/alex/.codex/tmp/arg0/codex-arg0wT5kdu:/Users/alex/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20/bin:/Users/alex/.cargo/bin:/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/bin:/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.3/bin:/Users/alex/.local/bin:/Users/alex/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin. Investigate agent-runtime/Codex shell path setup and doctor coverage.

Scout report: request-changes - Light review found a blocker: the Codex PATH config works for direct command lookup but not for login shell commands, so agent shells still resolve system Ruby before Homebrew Ruby. Also note PR #287 overlaps and merge-tree conflicts with this branch. Reporter: alex Outcome: request-changes Findings: - BLOCKER: bin/install-agent-docs writes shell_environment_policy.set.PATH to the Ruby prefix, but a Codex/login zsh shell rewrites PATH with /usr/bin before /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.3/bin; codex sandbox proof returned /usr/bin/ruby 2.6.10, so the primary acceptance criterion is not met. - MERGE SAFETY: PR #287 overlaps bin/agent-runtime, bin/install-agent-docs, and test/commands/install_agent_skills_test.rb; git merge-tree reports conflicts in bin/agent-runtime and test/commands/install_agent_skills_test.rb if both branches are combined. - NON-BLOCKER: PR #284 is still draft and qa-intake reports the local worktree down because database mcritchie_studio_development_codex_ruby_path_fix is missing, though CI is green and the branch merges cleanly into current origin/release. Questions: - none Checks: - Read AGENTS.md, README.md, devops-cycle SOP, parallel-agent-devops scout contract, testing docs, and Codex/app registry docs. - Inspected task metadata, PR body, changed files, CI status, diff, docs, and tests; GitHub CI jobs scan_ruby, scan_js, lint, and test are green. - Ran git diff --check and git merge-tree against origin/release: clean, tree b40bdf34aba04f53cb50f5e942dcab54772a4c19. - Ran focused test: PATH-prefixed ruby -Itest test/commands/install_agent_skills_test.rb passed 18 runs, 141 assertions. - Ran Codex sandbox checks: direct ruby command resolves Ruby 3.3.11, but /bin/zsh -lc resolves /usr/bin/ruby 2.6.10 with the proposed shell_environment_policy.set.PATH.

Scout report: request-changes - Request changes: the implementation makes Ruby first but replaces Codex PATH with only Ruby directories, which breaks normal Bash tool command lookup. Reporter: carl Outcome: request-changes Findings: - BLOCKER: bin/install-agent-docs writes shell_environment_policy.set.PATH as only the Ruby prefix from RUBY_PATH_PREFIX. Codex set.PATH replacement semantics make PATH exactly that value, so Bash tools lose standard commands such as git and sed. - NON-BLOCKER: PR #287 also changes bin/agent-runtime, bin/install-agent-docs, and test/commands/install_agent_skills_test.rb; merge-tree shows branch-to-branch conflict, so release ordering will need coordination after rework. - QUESTION: PR remains draft even though the task is submitted; Avi may need the feature agent or conductor to mark it ready after fixes. Questions: - none Checks: - [unit] Focused runtime test passed: bin/rails test test/commands/install_agent_skills_test.rb, 18 runs, 141 assertions. - [review] temp HOME bin/agent-runtime install generated PATH with no /usr/bin or /bin entries; first entry was Homebrew Ruby. - [review] codex sandbox with generated set.PATH found Ruby 3.3.11 and Bundler, but command -v git and command -v sed were empty. - [review] gh pr checks #284 all passed: scan_ruby, scan_js, lint, test; PR mergeStateStatus CLEAN into release. - [review] bin/dor-check codex-ruby-path-fix passed based on recorded checks, but review blocker overrides DoR.

Avi Heartbeat blocked review: carl: request-changes - Request changes: the implementation makes Ruby first but replaces Codex PATH with only Ruby directories, which breaks normal Bash tool command lookup.; alex: request-changes - Light review found a blocker: the Codex PATH config works for direct command lookup but not for login shell commands, so agent shells still resolve system Ruby before Homebrew Ruby. Also note PR #287 overlaps and merge-tree conflicts with this branch.

Avi review blocks this before merge based on the recorded Carl + Alex reports: the proposed Codex PATH change does not satisfy the Ruby-path acceptance safely. Carl found the generated PATH replaces normal command lookup paths so tools such as git/sed disappear; Alex found login shell execution can still resolve system Ruby before Homebrew Ruby. Also coordinate with PR #287 because the branches overlap and had merge-tree conflicts in agent runtime/install-docs/test paths.

Scout report: merge-ready - Codex Ruby path fix now preserves command lookup while giving agent runtime a stable Homebrew Ruby path surface. Reporter: carl Outcome: merge-ready Findings: - none Questions: - none Checks: - DoR passes for backend with unit/integration evidence plus full-suite/RuboCop at b110742ee7df. - GitHub PR #284 is non-draft, mergeState CLEAN, and CI lint/scan/test are green.

Scout report: merge-ready - Agent-runtime docs/install surface is coherent: install-agent-docs remains implementation, agent-runtime check verifies installed docs and skills. Reporter: alex Outcome: merge-ready Findings: - none Questions: - none Checks: - Focused installer test passed: 20 runs, 156 assertions, 0 failures. - bin/agent-runtime check confirms AGENTS/CLAUDE and qa-release/wrap skills match tracked sources.

Resolved: install-agent-docs zprofile block PREPENDS Homebrew Ruby preserving existing PATH via ${PATH:+:$PATH} and dedupes (bin/install-agent-docs:243-253) — git/sed no longer disappear, and Homebrew Ruby resolves before system Ruby. Test: 'installer must not replace Codex PATH and break normal Bash tool lookup' (install_agent_skills_test.rb:293). PR #287 overlap moot post-merge.
