Linux Boat VM; Chromium /usr/bin/google-chrome; repository Playwright 1.60.0.
Real Codex CLI 0.164.0 through local provider proxy. No mocked providers or fixture data.

Main commands:
git worktree add ../main github/main
cd ../main && vp i
T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 setsid nohup timeout 3600 vp run dev
[dev-runner] serverPort=16733 webPort=8693 baseDir=/home/user/main/.t3

Main UI: Settings > Providers > Refresh provider status. While refreshing,
change Binary path from default codex to /nonexistent/codex and blur.
2026-11-03T05:45:26.858Z refresh started.
2026-11-03T05:45:27.920Z server providerStatuses: codex enabled=true status=ready version=0.164.0
2026-11-03T05:45:28.839Z server providerStatuses: codex enabled=true status=ready version=0.164.0
UI retained Available despite saved invalid path.
An ordinary subsequent refresh reported Not found for the same invalid path.

Identical UI race on PR:
2026-11-03T05:47:10.482Z refresh started.
2026-11-03T05:47:12.660Z server providerStatuses: codex enabled=true status=error version=null
2026-11-03T05:47:15.057Z server providerStatuses: codex enabled=true status=error version=null
Message: Could not start Codex CLI (`/nonexistent/codex`).
UI remained Not found after old refresh completed.

Nearby UI behavior:
Restored default binary path: Available, 8 models.
Ordinary Refresh provider status completed successfully.
Disabled Codex: switch false and 0 models. Re-enabled: 8 models.
Added real extra Codex instance codex_verification through Add provider.
Removed using Delete instance and Confirm; absent after page reload.
(The removal was not proven to overlap an active probe.)

Real client/provider turn:
Created registry-refresh-verification through Add project > New project,
without creating a remote repository.
Selected Codex GPT-6.1-Sol, Low in the actual composer.
Sent: Run git rev-parse --show-toplevel and git status --short in this project.
Do not change files. Reply with the path and REGISTRY_PROVIDER_OK.
Completed in UI: Worked for 10s.
Provider tool executed both git commands.
Reply: /home/user/t3code/.t3/projects/registry-refresh-verification
