Codex Cancel

Codex Job Cancel

Pass-through wrapper around the Official Codex companion's cancel subcommand. Exists so users who disabled the Official plugin's slash commands can still cancel jobs via codex-advisor.

Phase 1: Confirm target (if ambiguous)

If the user did not provide a job-id, the companion cancels the most recent active job — which may not be what they intended. Use AskUserQuestion when:

• Multiple active jobs exist (check via node "$CODEX_COMPANION" status first, optional).
• The user's phrasing suggests a specific job ("cancel the rescue", "stop the research") but no ID.

Skip the prompt when the intent is obvious (single active job, or they pass an explicit ID).

Phase 2: Invoke companion cancel

set -o pipefail
CODEX_COMPANION=$("${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-companion.sh") \
  || { echo "Official Codex plugin not found — run /codex-setup" >&2; exit 1; }

node "$CODEX_COMPANION" cancel $ARGUMENTS

Relay the companion's output verbatim. It typically reports cancelled or no-op (not running).

Gotchas

• Cancellation is not instant. The companion signals the Codex worker; in-flight tool calls may complete before the worker exits. Don't promise "stopped immediately".
• Cancelling a rescue job does NOT revert the diff. If Codex already wrote files under --write, those changes stay on disk. Remind the user to git diff / git restore if needed.
• No job-id == most recent active. Only one job at a time is the common case, so this usually does what the user wants — but with multiple active jobs it can surprise. When in doubt, run status first and cancel by explicit ID.
