Summary

Fixes the Codex plugin Stop-hook timeout budget mismatch reported in #498 and releases the plugin metadata as 0.1.31.

What changed

  • Raises the packaged and installer-written Codex Stop hook timeout from 40s to 120s.
  • Gives Stop capture one 105s monotonic deadline with 25s per-call caps.
  • Makes retry sleeps, legacy --json fallback, session-id fallback, and optional skill outcome reporting consume that same deadline.
  • Keeps transcript capture as the priority; skill outcome reporting is skipped when the Stop-hook budget is exhausted.
  • Updates the plugin changelog, manifest version, integration registry version, and static contract expectation.

Closes #498.

Tests

  • uv run --with pytest pytest community/nowledge-mem-codex-plugin/tests/test_codex_plugin.py -q
    • 70 passed in 20.46s
  • uv run --with pytest pytest community/tests/plugin_e2e/test_key_plugins_e2e.py -q
    • 24 passed, 6 skipped in 13.09s
  • node community/nowledge-mem-codex-plugin/scripts/validate-plugin.mjs
    • Codex plugin validation passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Codex Stop capture reliability with unified timeout handling and deadline-aware retries.
    • Increased the Stop hook timeout to 120 seconds, with safer per-attempt limits and clearer handling when time expires.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Codex integration and plugin version to 0.1.31.
    • Added release notes documenting the timeout and capture improvements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Codex plugin version changes to 0.1.31. The Stop hook timeout increases to 120 seconds. Capture retries, fallbacks, save operations, and skill-outcome reporting now share a deadline-aware timeout budget.

Tests cover timeout propagation and deadline exhaustion. Version metadata and the changelog specify release 0.1.31.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 06827

The Stop hook can still begin optional skill-outcome extraction after its timeout deadline, potentially extending hook runtime beyond the intended budget. This is a localized, non-blocking risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check the deadline before extracting skill outcomes.

When the deadline has already expired, _report_skill_outcomes still calls extract_skill_outcomes_from_file before Line 443. This optional work can run after capture has consumed the Stop-hook budget.

Check _remaining_seconds(deadline) before extraction. Keep the per-outcome check for time consumed during extraction. Add a test that verifies the extractor is not called when the deadline is exhausted.

Proposed fix
 def _report_skill_outcomes(
     nmem: str,
     payload: dict[str, Any],
     *,
     deadline: float | None = None,
 ) -> None:
+    remaining = _remaining_seconds(deadline)
+    if remaining is not None and remaining < MIN_CAPTURE_ATTEMPT_SECONDS:
+        _log("skill-outcome: skipped because Stop hook budget is exhausted")
+        return
     if extract_skill_outcomes_from_file is None or build_outcome_args is None:
         _log("skill-outcome: extractor unavailable")
         return

Lock stale window shorter than capture

Medium Severity

The new 105-second capture deadline outlives the unchanged 90-second duplicate-claim lock. A Stop hook that is still saving, or a host-level fallback that starts after that window, can treat the claim as stale and run a second nmem t save for the same transcript.
