The report

From #platform, 2026-08-12 (Davit relaying Pierre):

Btw i just realised my hivemind setup was still failing silently in the background. After a bit of digging, i found out why:
hivemind goal list: Query failed: 402: {"balance_cents":0,"error":"insufficient balance, please top up"}
To my knowledge, i didnt receive an unprompted CTA to upgrade / top up at any time

Pierre is on Codex. Emanuele also observed that even on Claude Code, an org under $2 shows the warning only sometimes.

Causes (each proven, not guessed)

1. Codex never drained the notifications framework. src/hooks/codex/session-start.ts had no call to drainSessionStart, and src/notifications/delivery/index.ts registered an adapter only for claude-code. The balance-exhausted notification enqueued at src/deeplake-api.ts:92 therefore sat in ~/.deeplake/notifications-queue.json forever. A Codex user got zero signal.

2. The low-balance warning rode on an optional banner. It was appended to pickPrimaryBanner's result, which returns null when source === "resume", when there is no session_id, and it sourced the balance from fetchOrgStats — cached for 1 hour, so a balance that dropped mid-hour stayed invisible. That is the "only sometimes".

3. The 402 was printed raw. Query failed: 402: {"balance_cents":0,...} reads as an internal fault, not "you are out of credits".

4. When it did render, it rendered last — under the welcome banner and the referral nudge.

Changes

  • Codex drains notifications at SessionStart. Codex accepts exactly one JSON object on a hook's stdout and session-start.js already owns it, so the hook drains with a deliver override and merges the rendered channels into that object. Runs in parallel with the skills auto-pull, so it adds no wall time.
  • Low-balance becomes its own source (sources/low-balance.ts) with an uncached balance read (sources/balance.ts). It no longer inherits the banner's suppression rules.
  • The rendered block is sorted by severity — actionable warnings first.
  • The out-of-credits 402 throws an actionable message with the org-scoped billing link. Every other status keeps the raw status: body shape the debugging paths expect.

Verified in reality, not only in tests

Real Codex TUI (0.147.0), isolated HOME, stub serving the server's actual 402 body. The 402 fired during capture, enqueued the notification, and the next session rendered:

• SessionStart (completed) says: 🐝 Welcome back, e2e-user
    Connected to org e2e-org (workspace default).
    ⚠️ Hivemind credits exhausted — top up to keep capturing
    Sessions are not being saved and memory recall is returning empty. Top up at
    https://deeplake.ai/e2e-org/workspace/default/billing to restore capture and recall.

Real Codex TUI, stub serving a $1.37 balance — warning now leads:

• SessionStart (completed) says: ⚠️ Hivemind balance low — top up to avoid interruption
    Only $1.37 of prepaid credit left. Top up at https://deeplake.ai/acme/workspace/default/billing
    before capture and memory recall start failing.
    🐝 Welcome back, marco

Before/after on Claude Code, same stub, same $1.37 balance, running the shipped 0.7.145 bundle against this branch's build:

source shipped 0.7.145 this branch
startup warning present, but below the welcome warning first
resume no output at all warning present
compact / clear warning present
no session_id warning present

Tests

tests/codex/codex-notifications-merge.test.ts (new, 6), tests/claude-code/notifications-low-balance.test.ts (new, 8), plus severity ordering and updated 402 assertions. Full suite: 301 passed, 2 files failing — flush-memory and graph/command, both confirmed failing on main before this branch.

Session transcript (private repo): emanuele-vm:/home/emanuele/.agents/.history/versions/claude/2.1.220/home/.claude/projects/-home-emanuele-39-claude-code-plugin-deeplake-claude-code-plugins/e0c78cd3-6914-472d-9123-a46f85f6da4c.jsonl

…alance read

The low-balance warning was a rider on the primary session-start banner
(appendBalance in primary-banner.ts), so it inherited every reason that
banner had to stay quiet: resume sessions, a missing session_id, and the
1h org-stats cache that hid a balance which dropped mid-hour. Users on an
org under $2 saw the top-up CTA only sometimes.

Own the warning here instead, and read the balance fresh rather than off
the cached stats, so the only thing deciding whether the user is warned
is the balance.
…nner

Two changes to the drain:

- Wire in pickLowBalanceNotice as its own source and drop appendBalance
  from primary-banner, so the warning no longer depends on whether a
  welcome banner happened to render. Proven with the shipped 0.7.145
  bundle against a stub serving a $1.37 balance: on source=resume it
  emits nothing at all; with this change it emits the warning.
- Sort the rendered block by severity. 'Credits exhausted - top up' was
  rendering under the welcome banner and the referral nudge, which is
  where a user has stopped reading.
CLI callers print this straight to the terminal, so 'Query failed: 402:
{"balance_cents":0,...}' read as an internal fault rather than 'your
account is out of credits'. That is exactly how the report came in:
`hivemind goal list` showed the raw body and the user had to dig to
work out what it meant.

Only the balance-exhausted 402 is reshaped; every other status keeps the
raw status+body the debugging paths expect.
…er shown

Codex never called the notifications framework. Notifications were
enqueued (balance-exhausted, from deeplake-api's 402 handler) and never
drained, so a Codex user whose org ran out of credits got no signal at
all: captures and recalls failed silently and no top-up CTA ever
appeared. That is the report from #platform on 2026-08-12.

Codex accepts exactly one JSON object on a hook's stdout and
session-start.js already owns it, so the hook drains with a deliver
override and merges the rendered channels into that object rather than
letting an adapter write a second one. The drain runs in parallel with
the skills auto-pull so it adds no wall time to a blocking hook.

Verified in the real Codex TUI (0.147.0) against a stub returning the
server's 402 body:

  - SessionStart (completed) says: warning about credits exhausted
    with the org-scoped billing link
… order

- codex-notifications-merge: the drain runs as agent 'codex', the CTA
  lands in systemMessage, and the hook still emits exactly ONE JSON
  object (a second write would fail codex's strict parse and silently
  drop everything - the failure mode being fixed).
- notifications-low-balance: the warning is pinned to the balance and
  nothing else - no session_id gate, reads fresh past the org-stats
  cache, silent at <=0 (that is the 402 path) and on an unknown header.
- notifications: warnings render above informational items.
- deeplake-api-balance-exhausted: the out-of-credits 402 now throws the
  human-readable message; a 402 without balance_cents keeps the raw
  shape. The dedup case needed a fresh Response per call - a Response
  body reads once, so the reused instance handed later queries an empty
  body.
- codex-session-start-hook: stub the drain and poll for output; the old
  single-tick wait leaked one test's stdout into the next test's capture
  once the hook grew an async step.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes balance detection, adds uncached low-balance notifications, and orders notification delivery. Codex now drains notifications during SessionStart and merges user-visible and model-safe channels into one JSON response.

Changes

Balance-aware notification and delivery flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Balance exhaustion signaling
src/deeplake-api.ts, tests/shared/deeplake-api*.test.ts
The API detects balance-exhausted responses, reports actionable credits errors, and describes network failures. Unrelated 402 responses retain the existing error format.
Balance notification sourcing and draining
src/notifications/sources/*, src/notifications/index.ts, src/notifications/types.ts, tests/claude-code/*
Session-start draining fetches uncached balance data, creates low-balance notices, orders notifications by severity, and supports custom delivery. Primary banners no longer include balance warnings.
Codex SessionStart delivery
src/hooks/codex/session-start.ts, src/notifications/delivery/*, src/notifications/AGENT_CHANNELS.md, tests/codex/*
Codex drains notifications, renders user-visible and model-safe channels, re-queues late notifications, and emits existing context in one JSON object.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to f5d31

The PR improves delivery of low-balance and exhausted-credit prompts across agent sessions. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the notification documentation still omits openclaw and does not accurately distinguish Codex from Claude Code rendering behavior.

Comment thread src/notifications/AGENT_CHANNELS.md
Comment thread tests/codex/codex-notifications-merge.test.ts
Unlike Claude Code, where the drain is its own hook command, this hook
also carries the memory/login context and Codex kills it at 10s. A slow
drain (goals SQL retrying behind a stalled network) would have taken the
whole output with it. Stop waiting at 4s; notifications that land after
that go back on the queue for the next session rather than being marked
shown and never rendered.

Surfaced by tests/codex/codex-integration.test.ts flaking under a loaded
full-suite run: it executes the real bundle as a subprocess and inherited
the developer's HOME, so with real credentials present the hook made live
API calls and blew its 15s timeout. Point that test's HOME at an empty
temp dir so it stays hermetic.

Also adds drain coverage for the deliver override, the low-balance
notice, and the unlabelled-severity ordering fallback - src/notifications
/index.ts branch coverage had dropped to 78% against an 80% gate.
…of racing them

The integration suite executes the real bundles, which spawn a detached
setup worker. With HOME pointed at a temp dir that worker provisioned
tree-sitter deps into it, and afterAll's cleanup removed the directory
while the install was still writing: ENOTEMPTY in CI even though all
5834 tests passed.

Use the canonical opt-outs (HIVEMIND_GRAPH_ON_STOP=0,
HIVEMIND_AUTOPULL_DISABLED=1) so the worker has nothing to write, rather
than making the cleanup tolerate the race.

- AGENT_CHANNELS.md still said Codex needed no shared adapter, was not
  wired, and that Claude Code was the only shipped agent. Those sections
  contradicted the status table I updated at the top; rewrite them to
  describe the shipped flow (deliver override, delivery/codex.ts, the
  drain deadline).
- Assert the full rendered notification, not fragments: a substring match
  on 'credits exhausted' would still pass if the billing link - the whole
  point of the CTA - were dropped.
- Assert presence before position in the ordering tests. indexOf alone
  passes when the item that should come FIRST is missing (-1 < n), which
  is the exact regression those tests exist to catch.

All three CodeRabbit findings applied in 78a021c.

  1. AGENT_CHANNELS.md stale sections — valid, and my omission. I updated the status table at the top but left lines 77/95/102 saying Codex needs no shared adapter, isn't wired, and that Claude Code is the only shipped agent. Rewritten to describe the shipped flow: the deliver override, delivery/codex.ts::renderCodexChannels, and the drain deadline.

  2. Fragment assertions in the codex CTA test — valid. toContain("credits exhausted") would still pass if the billing link were dropped, and the link is the entire point of the CTA. Now asserts the full rendered systemMessage, plus the org-scoped URL explicitly. Same change applied to the low-balance body.

  3. indexOf-only ordering assertions — valid, and the sharpest of the three: when the item that should come first is missing, indexOf returns -1 and -1 < n passes, so the test would have gone green on exactly the regression it exists to catch. All three ordering assertions now check presence before position.

Full suite after the changes: 303 files / 5834 tests passing, coverage thresholds met.

Comment on lines +97 to +106
**Claude Code** and **Codex** both ship, each via a dual-channel JSON emit:

- **`systemMessage` at the top level** of the JSON output — renders verbatim in the terminal as `SessionStart:startup says: <text>`. User-visible.
- **`hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`** (nested) — delivered to the model as a `<system-reminder>` block. Lets the model reason on follow-up turns ("you have a balance reminder, avoid expensive ops?").

Both fields carry the same rendered text. The user definitely sees it; the model also receives it.

Other agents (Codex, Cursor, Hermes, Pi, openclaw) are not yet wired. The findings above are the forward reference for what each adapter needs to do when it's prioritized.
Codex carries the same two fields, with two differences: its `additionalContext` is ALSO user-visible (no model-only channel exists), and the drain is merged into the hook's own JSON rather than written by an adapter.

The remaining agents (Cursor, Hermes, Pi, openclaw) are not wired. The findings above are the forward reference for what each adapter needs to do when it's prioritized.

Document Codex’s channel-specific rendering.

The current summary applies Claude Code behavior to Codex. renderCodexChannels excludes userVisibleOnly notifications from additionalContext, so Codex’s two fields are not always identical. Codex also renders them as warning: ... and hook context: ..., not as Claude Code’s SessionStart:startup says: ... and a model-only context path. Split the Claude Code and Codex descriptions or state the Codex exceptions here.

…sends it

The X-Activeloop-Balance-Cents header is on the SQL endpoint
(/workspaces/{ws}/tables/query), NOT on /me/hivemind-stats. Verified against
api.deeplake.ai across ten orgs: hivemind-stats never carries it.

So org-stats.ts's balance read has silently been null in production the whole
time - the low-balance warning could never have fired from that path - and
this source inherited the same mistake. My tests passed only because the stub
served the header on the endpoint I had assumed.

Proven on the real API: the fixed read returns a real balance where the old
path returned unknown, and a real org at $0.01 now renders the warning in a
real Codex session.
`hivemind goal list: fetch failed` is undici's bare TypeError; the real cause
sits in .cause and never reached the user. The usual cause is not a broken
network but an agent sandbox with outbound access disabled - verified with the
installed CLI against a real org: the same command prints 'fetch failed' under
Codex's default workspace-write sandbox and returns normally under
danger-full-access.

Now reports the host, the underlying code (e.g. EAI_AGAIN), and the sandbox
possibility.

43-64: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the complete error messages.

Replace the toContain() assertions with toBe() assertions for each complete expected message. This verifies the API URL, cause detail, and sandbox guidance as one user-facing contract.

As per path instructions, tests/** must prefer specific message assertions over generic substrings.

…real

Three problems seen in real sessions on a $0 org:

- The billing link used orgName, a display name, producing
  deeplake.ai/mvincig11's%20Organization/workspace/default/billing - an
  apostrophe and an escaped space in a path segment. A dead link at the moment
  the user needs to top up defeats the notice. The API exposes no slug
  (/organizations/{id} returns only id + display name), so key on the UUID.

- 'Credits exhausted' was queue-only: written when a 402 fires, drained at the
  NEXT SessionStart. So the session that broke said nothing ('no billing
  messages in codex, so I don't know I finished the money'), whichever agent
  started next ate the single queued copy, and after an org switch the stale
  copy named the wrong org and linked to its billing page. Decide it from the
  live balance read instead, which is scoped to current credentials; the live
  notice supersedes a queued one with the same id. The 402 queue path stays as
  the fallback when the balance read itself fails.

- 'SessionStart hook (failed) error: hook timed out after 10s' - Codex
  discards the ENTIRE hook output on timeout, losing the login context and the
  billing CTA together. Bounding just the drain missed the auto-pull, the
  org-token heal and module init. Add a hook-wide budget that emits a minimal
  correct output rather than letting Codex drop everything.
Switching from a drained org to a funded one still showed the drained org's
'credits exhausted' banner, linking to ITS billing page - so a user with money
was told they had none, and the CTA pointed at an org they had left.

The live-supersedes rule added earlier cannot catch this: a healthy org
produces no live notice to supersede the queued one with. So the queued notice
now carries the org that produced it, and the drain drops any queued notice
whose org no longer matches the credentials in force.

Verified against the real setup that produced the report: on june16 with a
notice queued under mvincig11's org, the banner is gone; a notice queued under
june16 still renders.
…nnel

Cursor, Hermes and Pi users got no signal at all when their org ran out of
credits - capture and recall silently returned nothing. Cursor and Hermes are
now covered; Pi is not (see below).

Neither harness has a user-visible session-start channel, verified rather than
assumed:

- Cursor (cursor-agent 2026.08.11): a marker probe wired into
  ~/.cursor/hooks.json shows only top-level additional_context survives, and
  only into the MODEL. systemMessage, nested hookSpecificOutput and stderr are
  all dropped.
- Hermes: on_session_start's return is discarded upstream, and _parse_response
  in agent/shell_hooks.py honours {"context": ...} for pre_llm_call alone.
  Delivered from the already-registered pre_llm_call capture hook, so no
  config change and no re-consent prompt; a sentinel keeps it to once per
  session.

So on these agents the only route to the user runs through the model, which
forces a different rendering: billing notices go out as a statement of fact
('credits are exhausted; capture and recall are disabled'), never as the
imperative aimed at the user ('Top up at <url> to keep capturing') that
reviewers flag as a prompt-injection shape. Only our own statically-authored
billing copy is eligible - mined insights and backend pushes stay out.

Verified in real sessions of each harness. Pi is left alone: its installed
extension injects context only through a static ~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md, so
there is no per-session channel to carry this.
@efenocchi efenocchi changed the title fix: surface the top-up CTA — Codex never drained notifications, CC only sometimes did fix: users never learned they were out of credits — 9 bugs across codex, claude code, cursor, hermes and the CLI Aug 13, 2026
The cursor and hermes adapters added in 9836401 were never exercised -
production passes a deliver override for both - so delivery/index.ts fell to
37% lines against a 90% gate.

These assert the SHAPE each harness actually parses, which is the part that
silently breaks: claude-code and codex take the dual-channel object, cursor
takes only top-level additional_context, hermes takes only {context}. Also
pins that a model-only agent stays silent when the batch holds nothing it is
allowed to relay, rather than emitting an empty context field.
