# 260822 — senpi Cursor transfer investigation

Docs-only research unit. No production patches in this cycle.
Session `01a02665-e4c1-75a3-9660-c71284a1bba2`. Goalplan `investigate-whether-opencodex-can-adopt-any-curs`.

## Loop spec

- Loop archetype: satisfy-spec research (inventory + classify). Not an optimization loop.
- Trigger: user asked whether OpenCodex can take Cursor-runtime mechanisms from senpi, with unlimited explorer dispatch, no model-name overrides.
- Goal: evidence-bearing transfer verdict in this unit. Every comparison row cites OpenCodex `path:line` and senpi GitHub blob/commit.
- Non-goals: production `src/` edits; copying senpi protobuf wholesale; starring repos; live Cursor account mutation; spawning `cursor-agent` CLI; extracting secrets.
- Verifier: files exist under this unit; `git status` shows no production `src/` diffs from this loop; 090 table rows have both-codebase citations.

Align the verifier with the verdict exceptions.

Lines 10-12 require every row in 090_transfer_verdict.md to cite both codebases. Rows T20 and T21 use n/a, whole adapter, or whole provider instead. Either define an exception for UNSAFE and NEEDS_HUMAN rows or add concrete citations.

Update the verifier requirement in the plan to explicitly allow the documented
citation exceptions for UNSAFE and NEEDS_HUMAN rows, including T20 and T21, or
replace those placeholders with concrete OpenCodex and senpi citations while
preserving the requirement for citations on all other verdict rows.

- Stop: 090 locked and wp0 criteria captured. Implementation is a later appended work-phase, not this cycle.
- Memory artifact: this directory.
- Terminal: DONE (research lock) / NOOP (no residual gaps) / NEEDS_HUMAN (ToS) / UNSAFE (native-app patching).
- Escalation: live Cursor probes, ToS/product-policy, or proto-regen risk.

## Sources

- OpenCodex tree: local checkout (explorers also cited `dev` `a228ed74` / GitHub `lidge-jun/opencodex`).
- senpi: `code-yeongyu/senpi` `main` SHA `a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717` (2026-08-21), files also fetched as current default-branch blobs.
- Explorer lanes (inherit parent model; no model field): Helmholtz (protocol), Planck (auth/catalog), Hypatia (exec), Leibniz (stream/usage), Pasteur (senpi protocol), Archimedes (senpi auth/catalog), Plato (exec-bridge + CLI), Ohm (overflow/RE).

## Docs

- 000 (this file) — unit map + later-implementation slice order.
- 001 — OpenCodex Cursor inventory.
- 002 — senpi Cursor inventory.
- 003 — protocol / transport compare.
- 004 — auth / catalog / effort / max-mode.

- 007 — CLI fallback lane.
- 090 — transfer verdict (ADOPT / ADAPT / REJECT / ALREADY-HAVE / NEEDS_HUMAN).

## Work-phase map (dependency order, not effort)

1. **wp0 (this cycle, docs-only):** inventories + 090 lock. Independent of later code.
2. **wp1 (010, later):** Cursor error mapping + 0-token `resource_exhausted` surface. Owner: `src/adapters/cursor/cursor-errors.ts`, `src/lib/errors.ts`, `src/adapters/cursor/transport-retry.ts`.
3. **wp2 (020, later):** `turnEnded` as application-complete + adapter stream-health. Owner: `src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts`, `src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-events.ts`.
4. **wp3 (030, later):** unknown-exec typed reply (`ExecClientThrow` + stream-close) and optional newer exec oneofs as refusals. Owner: `src/adapters/cursor/native-exec.ts`. Do not regenerate protobuf in the same cycle as error mapping.
5. **wp4 (040, later, optional):** live `GetUsableModels.maxMode` + richer catalog decode. Owner: `src/adapters/cursor/live-models.ts`, `src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts`, `src/adapters/cursor/discovery.ts`.

Do not implement two slices in one B. Do not start wp1 until this research cycle D-locks 090.

## IN / OUT

IN: this `devlog/_plan/260822_senpi_cursor_transfer/` directory.
OUT: `src/`, `tests/`, `gui/`, `docs-site/`; senpi vendored proto copy; CLI spawn of `cursor-agent`.

## Already-have headline

OpenCodex is not missing a Cursor provider. It already speaks `agent.v1.AgentService/Run` over Connect, answers `interactionQuery`, owns HTTP/1 `RunSSE` fallback, conversation-keyed `usedTokens` accounting, native-exec policy, and Responses-tool suspend. senpi's newer work is mostly overflow classification, turn-end close, exec-frame completeness, and a CLI fallback lane that OpenCodex deliberately does not have.

# 001 — OpenCodex Cursor inventory

Research only. Local tree + explorer Helmholtz / Planck / Hypatia / Leibniz.

## Layout

`src/adapters/cursor/` owns the live protobuf adapter. Supporting files:

- Transport: `live-transport.ts` (1443 lines), `transport.ts`, `transport-retry.ts`, `http1-bidi.ts`, `framing.ts`
- Request: `request-builder.ts`, `protobuf-request.ts`, `tool-definitions.ts`
- Events / usage: `protobuf-events.ts`, `checkpoint-store.ts`, `thread-continuity.ts`, `kv-store.ts`
- Exec: `native-exec.ts` + `native-exec-*.ts`, `exec-policy.ts`, `mcp-manager.ts`, `mcp-config.ts`
- Catalog: `discovery.ts`, `live-models.ts`, `effort-map.ts`
- Errors: `cursor-errors.ts`
- Generated proto: `gen/agent_pb.ts`
- OAuth: `src/oauth/cursor.ts` (not under adapters)
- Adapter entry: `src/adapters/cursor.ts`
- Tests: `tests/cursor-*.test.ts` (39 files)

## Protocol

OpenCodex posts `POST /agent.v1.AgentService/Run` as Connect proto, 5s `clientHeartbeat`, client version `cli-2026.07.08-0c04a8a`:

```90:92:src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts
const CURSOR_RUN_PATH = "/agent.v1.AgentService/Run";
const CURSOR_CLIENT_VERSION = "cli-2026.07.08-0c04a8a";
const HEARTBEAT_MS = 5_000;
```

HTTP/1 fallback exists: `RunSSE` + `BidiAppend` in `http1-bidi.ts:10-11`. First-frame timeout is 30s (`live-transport.ts:93`). After that, liveness is the Responses bridge stall watchdog (default 300s, `src/stall-timeout.ts:8`), kept alive by synthetic `heartbeat` events on swallowed progress frames (`live-transport.ts:1304-1309`).

`turnEnded` maps to `finalizeTurnEvents` (`protobuf-events.ts:1327-1328`). Transport still waits for Connect EOF. If EOF arrives after assistant text without `turnEnded`, it synthesizes `done` (`live-transport.ts:1147-1150`). Client-tool Responses path **intentionally** ends turn 1 without waiting for `turnEnded` (`live-transport.ts:203-206`).

Unknown `interactionQuery` replies empty with matching id so the server unblocks (`live-transport.ts:376-382`, issue #116). Web/exa queries are approved; askQuestion/switchMode rejected (`live-transport.ts:287-366`).

## Auth / catalog

Same Cursor PKCE poll as senpi: `loginDeepControl`, `auth/poll`, `exchange_user_api_key` (`src/oauth/cursor.ts:13-15`). After login, catalog uses stored tokens via `getValidAccessToken`. `GetUsableModels` is empty-body unary (`live-models.ts:12-14, 28`). Decode keeps **ids only** (`live-models.ts:115-131`). Static seed in `discovery.ts` is filtered by live ids; `stripCursorWirePrefix` at the comparison boundary (`discovery.ts:67-84`, issue #117). Effort is a static suffix table (`effort-map.ts`). `RequestedModel.maxMode` is hardcoded `false` (`protobuf-request.ts:963-966`).

## Exec

Known proto cases end at `writeShellStdinArgs` (`gen/agent_pb.ts:6886+`). Dispatcher: `native-exec.ts:550-609`. Default `nativeLocalExec` is **off**; only `"on"` authorizes local fs/shell/fetch (`exec-policy.ts:17-44`). Unknown exec returns `[]` to keep the stream alive (`native-exec.ts:605-609`). Responses `mcpArgs` are **not** executed locally (`live-transport.ts:226-246, 1236-1246`). Native exec emits `local_side_effect` before running so `invalid_argument` remint cannot replay (`live-transport.ts:1248-1252`).

## Usage / overflow

Checkpoint `usedTokens` is absolute context, not an output delta (`protobuf-events.ts:1233-1238`). Conversation-keyed cache: 200 entries / 60 minutes (`protobuf-events.ts:21-22`). Generated `TurnEndedUpdate` is empty (`gen/agent_pb.ts:3083-3085`), so billed cacheRead is not ingested. Generic `resource_exhausted` classifies as 429 unless an explicit size phrase wins (`cursor-errors.ts:131-163`). Transport retry never retries RE (`transport-retry.ts:25`). Conversation remint exists only for external-model `invalid_argument` (`src/adapters/cursor.ts:231-247`). Compaction uses an isolated conversation and does not store its checkpoints (`request-builder.ts:397, 443-444`; `src/server/responses/core.ts:2247-2249`).

## OpenCodex-only keepers

HTTP/1 RunSSE; interactionQuery matrix; fail-closed nativeLocalExec; Responses-tool suspend; JWT-sub multiauth; classified discovery errors; bounded blob KV / checkpoint store; `createTerminalSettler`.

# 002 — senpi Cursor inventory

Research only. senpi `main` SHA `a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717`. Explorers Pasteur / Archimedes / Plato / Ohm.

## Layout

Cursor is a first-class builtin provider, not an OpenCodex-style proxy adapter.

- Provider: [packages/ai/src/providers/cursor.ts](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/providers/cursor.ts) — OAuth, empty static catalog, `fetchModels` = live `GetUsableModels`

## Protocol

Same `AgentService/Run` Connect path, 5s client heartbeat, client version `cli-2026.07.23-e383d2b`. HTTP/2 only; ALPN-stripping proxy is fatal (no h1 fallback). `turnEnded` is the application completion signal: drain exec ≤5s, then close the client HTTP/2 stream ([cursor-agent.ts L249-254, L698-704](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent.ts#L249-L254)). HTTP close without `turnEnded` is an error. Stream-health: 30s no inbound frames, 90s heartbeat/checkpoint-only.

Unknown exec is `ExecClientThrow` + `streamClose` so the server is never left blocked. Per-exec 3s heartbeat while a handler runs (`exec-lifecycle.ts`).

`handleServerMessage` has **no `interactionQuery` case** (open [#1026](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/issues/1026)).

## Auth / catalog

Same PKCE poll. Fail-fast on poll 400/401/403/410; 429 does not burn the transient budget. Catalog is fully dynamic: `models: []`, live GetUsableModels, then `normalizeCursorCatalog` grouping with `thinkingLevelMap` / `cursorReasoning` / `cursorMaxMode`. Live `maxMode` is copied onto `RequestedModel` ([reasoning-params.ts](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent/reasoning-params.ts#L8-L20)).

## Exec

Host-injected `CursorExecHandlers` map frames onto senpi tools (`read`/`bash`/`edit`/`write`/`grep`/`find`/`ls` + MCP). Exec-synthesized tool calls are stamped `kCursorExecResolved` so the agent loop does not re-run them. Pi exec family (proto 45–51) is dispatched. Computer-use / canvas / subagents / conversation-search are typed refusals (PR 910). CLI lane is a **separate** spawn of official `cursor-agent -p --output-format stream-json`; tools are display-only; `--force` needs `noApprovalAcknowledgedAt`; kill switch is verbatim `enabled: false`.

## Overflow

0-token `resource_exhausted` is payload overflow for compact-before-rotate (`overflow.ts` `isCursorPayloadResourceExhausted`). First 0-token RE is **surfaced** so session compaction can run; later ones rotate the wire id up to 3 times (`cursor-conversation-rotation.ts`). Billed `turnEnded` cacheRead that dwarfs checkpoint `usedTokens` (>3×) is ignored ([cursor-agent.ts L3544](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent.ts#L3544)). ANTML text-tool recovery is skipped for `api === "cursor-agent"` (PR #1013). Compact while a Cursor Run is live is skipped (#984). Open: [#1043](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/issues/1043) compact-reload restores full toolResult bodies.

## Deliberately not ported (senpi)

Computer use, subagents, Cursor-managed background shells (typed refuse; OpenCodex actually implements bg shell when native exec is on), canvas, smart-mode classifier, conversation search, Kimi-K3 thinking replay, proxy tunneling (PR 910).

# 003 — Protocol / transport compare

Helmholtz + Pasteur. senpi SHA `a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717`.

## Same

Both speak `agent.v1.AgentService/Run` over HTTP/2 Connect (`application/connect+proto`, `connect-protocol-version: 1`, Bearer, `x-ghost-mode: true`, `x-cursor-client-type: cli`). Both write a 5s `clientHeartbeat`. Both rebuild `rootPromptMessagesJson` as the model prompt and treat `turns[]` as display metadata. Both implement blob KV `getBlobArgs`/`setBlobArgs`.

OpenCodex:

```90:92:src/adapters/cursor/live-transport.ts
const CURSOR_RUN_PATH = "/agent.v1.AgentService/Run";
const CURSOR_CLIENT_VERSION = "cli-2026.07.08-0c04a8a";
const HEARTBEAT_MS = 5_000;
```

senpi: [cursor-agent.ts L522-547, L746-747](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent.ts#L522-L547).

## Different

| Topic | OpenCodex | senpi |
|---|---|---|
| Client version | `cli-2026.07.08-0c04a8a` | `cli-2026.07.23-e383d2b` |
| HTTP/1 | `RunSSE` + `BidiAppend` (`http1-bidi.ts:10-11`) | HTTP/2-only; ALPN strip is fatal |
| Session header | sends `x-session-id` | does not |
| Completion | `turnEnded` finalizes mapper; transport waits for EOF; may synthesize `done` | `turnEnded` closes client HTTP/2 after ≤5s exec drain |
| Mid-turn health | 30s first-frame only; then 300s bridge stall | 30s silence / 90s heartbeat-only inside the adapter |
| Abort owner | `failAndClear` + `createTerminalSettler` | `settleH2` |
| Exec heartbeat | none (types exist) | 3s per-exec heartbeat |
| Blob store | TTL / 4096 / 64MiB | unbounded per-conversation Map |

## Transfer suspicion

High: close HTTP/2 on `turnEnded` (frozen turns until bridge 300s). Medium: heartbeat-only stall fail. Low: bump client version without a live probe. Do not copy senpi's unbounded blob Map. Keep OpenCodex HTTP/1 fallback.

# 004 — Auth / catalog / effort / max-mode

Planck + Archimedes.

## Auth — ALREADY-HAVE

Same three URLs and PKCE params (`challenge`, `uuid`, `mode=login`, `redirectTarget=cli`).

OpenCodex `src/oauth/cursor.ts:13-15, 78-85`. senpi [oauth/cursor.ts L17-19, L123-130](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/auth/oauth/cursor.ts#L17-L19).

Delta worth a small adapt: senpi fail-fasts poll 400/401/403/410 and does not spend the transient budget on 429. OpenCodex retries any non-ok as consecutive errors up to 3 (`src/oauth/cursor.ts:121-148`). OpenCodex-only keepers: JWT `sub`/`email` multiauth, 15s refresh timeout, 429/5xx refresh retry.

Login catalog refresh: senpi auto `fetchModels` after `/login cursor`. OpenCodex clears model cache and tells the operator to `ocx sync` (`src/oauth/index.ts:1234`, `src/oauth/login-cli.ts:95`).

## Catalog — different-shape

OpenCodex: static seed + live id filter + `stripCursorWirePrefix` (`discovery.ts:67-84`). Decode keeps ids only (`live-models.ts:4-6`). Empty 0-byte GetUsableModels body is a Bun HTTP/2 requirement (`live-models.ts:12-14`).

senpi: no static baseline; live GetUsableModels is the catalog; grouping produces `thinkingLevelMap` / `cursorReasoning` / `legacyAliases` ([providers/cursor.ts L10-17](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/providers/cursor.ts#L10-L17), [catalog-grouping.ts L19-31](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/cursor/catalog-grouping.ts#L19-L31)). Decode keeps `maxMode`, display name, `thinkingDetails` ([cursor-agent.ts L4354-4369](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent.ts#L4354-L4369)).

## Effort / max-mode

OpenCodex flattens Codex effort onto a static suffix table (`effort-map.ts:96-108`). Grok Fast is parameterized (`request-builder.ts:182-204`). `RequestedModel.maxMode` is always `false` (`protobuf-request.ts:963-966`; the 934-937 window is debug logging, not maxMode).

senpi copies live `cursorMaxMode` onto the wire ([reasoning-params.ts L8-20](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/senpi/blob/a5eed44536f3024c5740dc3dfff4ffe0bb08b717/packages/ai/src/api/cursor-agent/reasoning-params.ts#L8-L20)). Family-specific parameters (Claude thinking/context/effort, GPT extra-high, etc.) come from a captured AvailableModels capability table, not from GetUsableModels fields.

## Transfer suspicion

Medium-high: honor live `maxMode` instead of hardcoding false (proto field already exists at `gen/agent_pb.ts:2617`). Medium: fail-fast OAuth poll. Low/product: replace static seed with fully dynamic catalog (OpenCodex still needs logged-out fallback and `auto-{cost,balance,intelligence}` router ids). Do not copy senpi's 204-id alias JSON wholesale.

Distinguish the catalog and request maxMode fields.

Line 29 cites gen/agent_pb.ts:2617 without stating that it is the catalog ModelDetails.maxMode field. The request field is at gen/agent_pb.ts:2665-2667, and src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts:963-966 currently hardcodes that request value to false. Name both fields so the implementation does not update only the catalog decode.
