Validate SY_HOME and SY_PORT before generating the systemd unit.
SY_HOME and SY_PORT are expanded directly into the unit heredoc. A space in SY_HOME changes ExecStart argument boundaries. A newline in either value can add unintended unit-file lines. A nonnumeric SY_PORT can produce an invalid service command and profile URL.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME only selects the unit-file path. It is not written into the unit contents. A trailing backslash in SY_HOME does not itself end a unit line because every expansion is followed by a path suffix, but rejecting it remains a safe parser guard.
This is a malformed-configuration and service-startup issue. The available code does not establish a privilege escalation or other security-boundary bypass.

The biggest problems are that uninstall.sh can empty ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc, the codex alias breaks codex login, and running the installer again does not restart the service. I left the details in the line comments.
I tested the scripts on macOS in a temporary HOME directory, with stub systemctl, cargo, and uname commands. I also built switchyard-server from this branch and tested the Codex profile with codex-cli 0.152.0 against a local server that records requests. These checks passed:
- The
composite.tomlininstall.shpassesswitchyard-server --dry-run. - Every flag in
ExecStartexists. codex --profile syreadssy.config.tomlas written.- I sent requests through the server to a local stub instead of chatgpt.com.
server.err.logandrouting.jsonlrecorded no tokens and no prompt text.
I did not have a real systemd user session. My comments about systemd behavior come from the systemd docs, not from a run.
Three points outside the diff:
- #863 (the macOS installer) adds the same root
Makefileand a nearly identicalcommon.sh. Whichever PR merges second will conflict onMakefile. #863 also adds a third copy of thecomposite.tomlfromexamples/run_codex.sh, and all three copies are byte-identical. It has the samestrip_blockand argument bugs (scripts/macos/common.sh:30-46,scripts/macos/uninstall.sh:49and:71,scripts/macos/install.sh:18). If both installers shared onecommon.shand one config file, you would fix each bug once. README.md:86saysswitchyard-serveris for "Demos and evaluation only. Not for production." This PR installs it as an always-on service, and everycodexcall goes through it. If that is the plan, please update that row. Please also add a short section toINSTALLATION.mdthat namesmake install-linux, the files it changes, andmake uninstall-linux.- On a shared Linux machine, another user's process can receive this user's ChatGPT login and prompts. The Codex profile sends the login to whatever process listens on 127.0.0.1:4123, and all users share that port. If this user's service is not running, another user's process can hold the port. Please say in the docs that this setup is for single-user machines.
CodeRabbit's comment on install.sh line 17 is right. In my test, --help and -n also ran the full install, and uninstall.sh --dryrun removed everything.
The PR description could list what the installer changes: the systemd unit, ~/.codex/sy.config.toml, and both shell rc files. It could also list what the installer needs: a systemd user session, a Rust toolchain, and Codex CLI 0.134.0 or newer logged in with a ChatGPT account. A short transcript from a Linux run would help reviewers: make install-linux, systemctl --user status switchyard, and one Codex turn with the /v1/stats output.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If mktemp or awk fails, uninstall empties the user's ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc and still reports success. For example, mktemp fails when TMPDIR points at a directory that no longer exists, and awk fails when /tmp is full.
strip_block runs on the left side of ||, so bash turns off set -e for every command inside it. After a failed mktemp or awk, cat "$temp" > "$path" still runs and empties the rc file. The script then prints "removed the codex alias" and exits 0.
I reproduced this with a GNU-style mktemp. After uninstall, .bashrc went from 155 bytes to 0 and .zshrc went from 115 bytes to 0.
Please check for the marker in the caller instead. Then set -e stays on inside strip_block, and a failed mktemp or awk stops the script before it changes the file:
| strip_block "$rc" "$ALIAS_START" "$ALIAS_END" "the codex alias" || | |
| say " no alias in $rc" | |
| if [[ -f "$rc" ]] && grep -qF "$ALIAS_START" "$rc"; then | |
| strip_block "$rc" "$ALIAS_START" "$ALIAS_END" "the codex alias" | |
| else | |
| say " no alias in $rc" | |
| fi |
With this change, the same test stops at mktemp with exit code 1, and both rc files stay unchanged.

If a hand edit removes the end marker, uninstall deletes every line from the alias to the end of the rc file and still prints "removed the codex alias". This line checks only for the start marker, so the awk below skips every line from the start marker to the end of the file.
In my test, I deleted the # <<< switchyard codex alias <<< line and added three lines after the block. Uninstall removed all three.
Please also check for $end, and leave the file unchanged when $end is missing. For example, add this after the start-marker check:
if ! grep -qF "$end" "$path"; then
say " $path has no end marker for $label; not editing it" >&2
return 1
fiI tested this together with the caller change from the uninstall.sh comment. Uninstall printed the message, stopped, and left .bashrc unchanged.

With this alias, codex login, codex logout, codex update, codex doctor, and codex completion bash all exit 1 with Error: --profile only applies to runtime commands and `codex mcp`: …. The alias turns every codex command into codex --profile sy ..., and Codex 0.152.0 rejects --profile on commands that do not start a session.
codex login matters most. Users run it to fix an expired ChatGPT login, and this setup depends on that login. The alias also blocks other profiles: codex -p work exits 2 with error: the argument '--profile <CONFIG_PROFILE_V2>' cannot be used multiple times.
The simplest fix is to drop the alias and print codex -p sy in the Done message. If you keep the alias, make it opt-in and print how to bypass it (command codex login).
Also, the loop at line 201 creates ~/.zshrc for users who only have ~/.bashrc. Please skip rc files that do not exist.

If the service is already running, a second make install-linux installs the new binary and rewrites the unit file, but the old server process keeps running. systemctl --user enable --now starts the unit only if it is stopped.
I re-ran the installer with SY_PORT=5000 against a stub systemctl. The script called only daemon-reload and enable --now, rewrote the unit to --port 5000 and the Codex profile to http://127.0.0.1:5000/v1, and printed "enabled and started". The running server would stay on 4123, so codex would get connection refused until the user restarts the service by hand.
Please run systemctl --user enable "$SERVICE_NAME" and then systemctl --user restart "$SERVICE_NAME". restart also starts a stopped unit, so these two commands work for both a first install and an upgrade. #863 already restarts its LaunchAgent when you run the installer again.

If the server exits right after it starts, this line still prints "enabled and started", and the script goes on to write the Codex profile and the alias. With Type=simple, enable --now returns as soon as systemd starts the process, before the server binds its port.
In my test, a second switchyard-server on a port that was already in use printed Address already in use and exited 1 within 75 ms. A server left running from examples/run_codex.sh is one likely cause, because that script also uses port 4123.
After starting the unit, please wait a couple of seconds and then check systemctl --user is-active --quiet "$SERVICE_NAME". If that check fails, print the path to server.err.log and exit before writing the profile and the alias. A curl of /health alone is not enough, because another process on the port would answer it.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
A plain make in the repo root builds and starts the service and edits the user's shell rc files. install-linux is the first target in this file, so make runs it by default. make -n at the repo root prints scripts/linux/install.sh. The repo had no Makefile before, so people may type make here out of habit.
Please make a harmless target the default. For example, add a help target that lists the three targets, and either put it first or select it with .DEFAULT_GOAL := help.

This comment says the script never overwrites a file you have edited, but a second run replaces the unit file and sy.config.toml. Only composite.toml works the way the comment says. write_always replaces the unit file with no backup. write_with_backup replaces sy.config.toml and keeps a timestamped copy.
In my test, I added an Environment=FOO=bar line to the unit, and the next run removed it.
Please say what happens to each file. Please also point users to systemctl --user edit switchyard for unit changes. That command saves changes in a separate drop-in file, and this script does not touch that file.

If systemctl --user cannot reach the user's systemd instance (for example, in a su - or sudo -iu shell), uninstall deletes the unit file and stops, but it leaves sy.config.toml and both aliases in place. This block runs before the profile and alias steps. Its daemon-reload fails, and set -e stops the script.
After that, codex keeps pointing at a port where nothing listens, and running uninstall again fails the same way.
Please move this block after the profile and alias steps. I tried that order with a failing systemctl stub, and the script removed the profile and both aliases before it stopped.

With these two lines, server.log and server.err.log grow on every start and every request, and nothing rotates them. With append:, systemd writes the logs straight to these files.
In my test, each request added about 1.1 KB to server.err.log, and each start added a 1.6 KB banner to server.log.
If you remove these two lines, journald keeps the logs and rotates them. Users then read them with journalctl --user -u switchyard. The Done message at line 213 would then need to point there.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
With Codex CLI 0.133.0, codex --profile sy fails with Error: config profile `sy` not found, so with the alias every codex run fails. This setup needs Codex CLI 0.134.0 or newer. That release changed --profile NAME to read NAME.config.toml (https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.134.0).
The comment also says Codex rejects [profiles.sy] "outright", but Codex rejects it only when you pass --profile sy.
Suggested wording: "Since Codex 0.134.0, --profile sy reads sy.config.toml and fails if config.toml still has [profiles.sy]." Please also put the minimum version in the Done message or the docs.
