* fix(codex): stop a transient filesystem error from logging out the active account A single unreadable read of a managed Codex home's ownership marker cleared the user's active account selection, permanently. On Windows any exclusive lock — Defender real-time scanning, a backup agent, a sync client — makes every read of that marker fail with EBUSY, and the background rate-limit poll runs every 15 minutes plus once at every app start. Root cause: the ownership gate answered two very different questions through one channel. "This home is not ours" (a successful observation that failed a trust check) and "we could not read it" both surfaced as a throw, which the caller flattened to null, which three call sites took as proof the home was untrustworthy and wrote activeCodexManagedAccountId: null. Refusing to USE an unverified home is correct. Erasing the user's account selection because a file was briefly locked is not. The gate now returns a tri-state verdict. `untrusted` comes only from a proven trust failure or a definitive ENOENT/ENOTDIR where absence is itself the verdict; every other filesystem exception is `indeterminate`. Only `untrusted` may touch persisted state. Because `null` already meant "fall through to the system default" on both the launch and poll paths, not-clearing on its own would have run a DIFFERENT account behind a UI still showing the selected one. So the refusal needed real channels rather than a sentinel: - the poll returns an explicit skip; returning null would not have skipped at all, since the fetcher maps null to ~/.codex and would have spawned a token-refreshing app-server inside the user's real credential home - pane launch throws a typed temporary-unavailability error that both PTY implementations convert into a clean refusal with a retry message, including the re-resolution after the async auth-readiness wait - automatic session resume resolves the selected home eagerly, so an unreadable account can no longer be silently replaced by another one in the ranking - config-sync status reports a distinct managed-home-unavailable stall instead of "synced", with a bounded renderer retry so it clears on its own Also fixes the ticket's second symptom. The status bar's Sign in button called a re-auth that captured the selection before login and restored it after, so re-authenticating a deselected account restored `null` — a successful login that left the account inactive, with no success toast to distinguish it from failure. It now activates the account it just signed in, but only when the pre-login selection was empty, so it cannot silently switch accounts for multi-account users, and it runs the same restart prompt an explicit switch does. No retry or grace window inside the synchronous gate: it runs on the Electron main process in a loop over accounts, so a sleep there would freeze the UI. Recovery is simply the next readable evaluation. The WSL lane has the same class of defect, including one path that deletes a credential mirror. It is pre-existing, unreachable from these host code paths, and deliberately left for its own change; the host clearing sites cannot reach a WSL account because getSelfContainedManagedHostAccount excludes them. Fixes STA-4422 * test(codex): cover pending reset home ownership
