Product story

The first Agent Access Plane SSH wrapper should fail closed. If startup fails after ssh-agent has been created, Codex must not leave a live agent process behind.

Scope

  • Harden startup/runtime directory creation.
  • Clean up a started ssh-agent on post-start failure.
  • Add SIGINT/SIGTERM cleanup through the same failure path.
  • Add regression coverage for post-start cleanup.

Explicit out of scope

  • --list session inventory.
  • --prune cleanup command.
  • Session status taxonomy.
  • Runtime layout docs for new commands.

Acceptance criteria

  • Existing wrapper tests pass.
  • Full platformctl tests pass.
  • Test proves post-start failure invokes ssh-agent -k.
  • No private key appears in stdout/stderr or child env.
