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 umprompted CTA to upgrade / top up at any time

can you make sure that users clearly see that they need to top up?

Pierre is on Codex. Testing against a real org at $0 turned up nine separate reasons a user never learned they were out of credits — only two of them Codex-specific.

What was broken, and how each was proven

# Bug Scope Evidence
1 Codex never drained notifications, so no CTA could ever appear codex no drainSessionStart in the hook; ADAPTERS had only claude-code
2 Balance read hit /me/hivemind-stats, which carries no balance header — so the low-balance warning could never fire for anyone all probed 10 orgs: header absent there, present on the SQL endpoint
3 Low-balance rode on the primary banner — suppressed on resume, on missing session_id, and behind a 1h cache all shipped 0.7.145 emits nothing on source=resume
4 Query failed: 402: {"balance_cents":0,…} printed raw CLI the report itself
5 fetch failed hid the real cause CLI same command: fetch failed under Codex's workspace-write sandbox, correct under danger-full-access
6 Billing link built from orgName, a display name → deeplake.ai/mvincig11's%20Organization/… all seen in a real session; API exposes no slug
7 "Credits exhausted" was queue-only — the session that broke said nothing, and the next agent ate the single copy all "no billing messages in codex, so i don't know i finished the money"
8 A queued notice from one org rendered after switching to another, naming the wrong org all switched to a funded org, still told credits were exhausted
9 Codex's 10s hook timeout discards the entire output — login context and CTA together codex SessionStart hook (failed) error: hook timed out after 10s

Coverage after this PR

agent before after
Codex nothing, ever banner at session start + readable CLI errors
Claude Code banner, but never on resume; low-balance never fired both, warning ranked first
Cursor nothing billing state relayed by the model
Hermes nothing billing state relayed by the model
Pi nothing user-visible toast via ctx.ui.notify
CLI (any agent) raw 402 JSON / fetch failed actionable messages

Each harness was checked against its own API rather than assumed:

  • Cursor has no user-visible channel. A marker probe wired into ~/.cursor/hooks.json showed only top-level additional_context survives, and only into the model — systemMessage, nested hookSpecificOutput, and stderr are all dropped.
  • Hermes discards on_session_start's return upstream and honours {"context": …} for pre_llm_call alone, so delivery rides the already-registered pre_llm_call capture hook — no config change, no re-consent prompt, once per session.
  • Pi turned out to have the best channel of all: ctx.ui.notify(message, "info"|"warning"|"error"), a real user-visible toast. An earlier pass in AGENT_CHANNELS.md recorded pi as having none; that was inferred from what our own extension happened to do rather than from pi's typings, and it was wrong.

On Cursor and Hermes the only route to the user runs through the model, which forces a different rendering: billing goes 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 earlier review flagged as a prompt-injection shape. Only our own statically-authored billing copy is eligible — a test asserts an injection-shaped body is dropped. Pi and the two agents with real user channels get the full copy verbatim.

Verified in real sessions, not only in tests

Codex TUI (0.147.0), real org at $0, real 402:

• SessionStart (completed) says: ⚠️ 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/<org>/workspace/default/billing to restore capture and recall.

The reported command, through the real globally-installed CLI:

before: hivemind goal list: Query failed: 402: {"balance_cents":0,"error":"insufficient balance, please top up"}
after:  hivemind goal list: Hivemind credits exhausted — sessions are not being saved and memory
        recall returns empty. Top up at https://deeplake.ai/…/billing to restore capture and recall.

Real pi TUI session:

 Warning: ⚠️ 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/<org>/workspace/default/billing to restore capture and recall.

Real cursor-agent session, asked "is Hivemind working right now?":

Session capture is not working — org Deeplake credits are exhausted — so top up or fix billing at https://deeplake.ai/…/billing

Real hermes session, same question:

Hivemind session capture and memory recall are currently disabled because the organization's Deeplake credits are exhausted — you need to add credits at https://deeplake.ai/…/billing to restore it.

Claude Code before/after, same stub, same $1.37 balance, shipped 0.7.145 vs this branch:

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

Tests

306 files / 5855 passing, coverage gates met. New: notifications-model-channel (status-vs-imperative rendering, injection guard), notifications-delivery-dispatch (per-agent output shape), hermes-capture-notifications (once per session, never breaks capture), codex-notifications-merge (single JSON object, watchdog against a permanently-hung drain), notifications-low-balance (pinned to the balance and nothing else), cross-org staleness, severity ordering, and describeNetworkFailure.

Notes for review

billingUrl() keys on the org UUID because the API exposes no slug (/organizations/{id} returns only id and a display name). The resulting link was confirmed working.

The one judgement call worth a second opinion: relaying billing state into the model's context on Cursor and Hermes, given those harnesses offer no alternative. If the preference is for those two to stay silent instead, that is a small change.

…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.

…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.

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.
CodeRabbit nitpick, and it matches the repo's test convention: the host, the
underlying cause and the sandbox guidance are one user-facing contract. A
substring match would still pass if the actionable half went missing - which
is the failure this message exists to prevent.
Pi turns out to have the best channel of any non-Claude-Code harness:
ctx.ui.notify(message, "info"|"warning"|"error"), fired from session_start.
Verified against the installed @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent typings
(dist/core/extensions/types.d.ts) and its docs/extensions.md.

I previously recorded pi as having no user-visible channel. That was wrong,
and wrong in an avoidable way: I inferred it from what our own extension
happened to do (inject context through a static ~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md) instead
of reading pi's API. So unlike Cursor and Hermes, a pi user can simply be told
- no relaying through the model, no status-line rewrite.

The extension is raw TS with no non-builtin imports, so the drain runs in a
bundled worker (src/hooks/pi/notifications-worker.ts) whose stdout the
extension reads and feeds to notify(), one toast per notification with our
severity mapped onto pi's. Same spawn pattern as autopull.

Verified in a real pi TUI session:

  Warning: credits exhausted - top up to keep capturing
  Sessions are not being saved and memory recall is returning empty.
  Top up at https://deeplake.ai/<org>/workspace/default/billing ...

Also covers the hermes pre_llm_call delivery added in 9836401, which had no
tests, and drops a dead empty-guard in the pi adapter.

…st worker

The hook ends its lifecycle with process.exit(0). Importing it four times in
one file let that reach vitest as an unhandled rejection - 'process.exit
unexpectedly called with 0' - failing the run even though every assertion
passed. It only surfaced under CI's timing, not locally.
CodeRabbit was right: the summary still described Claude Code's behaviour as
if it applied to Codex. Two things were wrong.

The two fields do NOT carry identical text - userVisibleOnly notifications go
to systemMessage only, which is the whole point of the split. And Codex
renders them as 'warning:' and 'hook context:' inside its SessionStart history
cell, not as Claude Code's 'SessionStart:startup says:' line, with
additionalContext also user-visible there.

Also drops the stale line saying Cursor/Hermes/Pi are unwired; all three ship
in this PR.

On the two CodeQL alerts (src/notifications/sources/balance.ts:51,57file data in outbound network request).

The taint is creds.apiUrl and creds.workspaceId, read from ~/.deeplake/credentials.json, flowing into the request URL. That is the established pattern for every Deeplake call in this repo, not something new here:

  • src/deeplake-api.ts:305fetch(${this.apiUrl}/workspaces/${this.workspaceId}/tables/query)
  • src/deeplake-api.ts:518 — same for /tables
  • src/notifications/sources/org-stats.ts:165const apiUrl = creds.apiUrl ?? DEFAULT_API_URL

It is flagged now only because balance.ts is a new file. The credentials file is written by us at mode 0600 and is the same file that supplies the bearer token, so an attacker who can rewrite it already controls the token — redirecting the URL grants them nothing they do not already have.

I have deliberately NOT dismissed these. If we want the alert gone the honest fix is to validate apiUrl (require https + an allowlisted host) in one place, loadCredentials(), so every call site benefits — not a local suppression in the newest file. That is a separate change and I did not want to smuggle it into this PR. Reviewer's call.
