Continuation Layer v0.1.0 Preview

Continuation Layer v0.1.0 is a Codex-first preview for durable continuation of long-running CLI coding-agent tasks.

This is a preview release, not a stable automation platform. It is ready for dogfooding and public evaluation with conservative safety boundaries.

Completed

Durable .agent task state and validation.
continuity init, status, snapshot, start, resume, continue, overnight, complete, and new-task.
Codex adapter and supervisor.
Cooldown detection and recorded same-session resume state.
Codex continuity skill and plugin package.
Codex lifecycle hooks for session start, stop, pre-compact, and post-compact.
Context handoff before child continuation.
Codex child continuation through codex fork.
Guarded overnight auto-continuation.
Task completion, handoff archive, and stale-state cleanup.
Apache-2.0 licensing.
Basic CI for formatting, syntax, tests, and package dry-run.

No account rotation.
No provider-limit bypass.
No fake reset windows.
No long sleeps inside hooks.
No automatic commits.
No automatic PRs.
No continuation from incomplete handoff state.
Provider-private session storage is diagnostics only; .agent state and git state are the source of truth.

v0.1 is Codex-first.
Claude Code is a future v1 provider path, not a first-class runtime yet.
Provider CLI behavior can change.
Session-id extraction is best-effort from provider output.
Real provider smoke tests are opt-in and are not run in CI.
Context continuation asks for user confirmation unless overnight mode is explicitly enabled.
Plugin installation workflows may vary by Codex environment; start a new thread after installing or updating the plugin.

git clone https://github.com/Hsi431/continuation-layer.git
cd continuation-layer
npm install
npm link

From a git repo you want to protect:

continuity init --task-id my-task
continuity status
continuity start --dry-run "describe the task"

Existing v0 dogfood .agent state should be reviewed before sharing publicly.
The root .agent/ directory in this repository is intentionally committed as a sanitized dogfood example.
Active handoff/snapshot files can be archived with continuity complete or reset with continuity new-task --task-id <id>.
Reinstall or relink the Codex plugin after local plugin changes, then start a new Codex thread.

v0.x: dogfood feedback, packaging polish, clearer plugin install docs, opt-in provider smoke tests.
v1: Claude Code provider path, claude --resume, claude --continue, claude --fork-session, Claude StopFailure integration, and stronger recovery policy.
