Git Bugfix Contribution

CRITICAL POLICY: git push --force / git push -f is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

name: git-bugfix-contribution description: "Contribute a verified bug fix for LazyCodex, lazycodex-ai, omo-codex, bundled Codex skills, or upstream Codex CLI bugs. Opens a fork PR only for upstream openai/codex; LazyCodex-owned defects become a verified-fix issue on code-yeongyu/lazycodex (never a PR — that repo is a generated distribution mirror). Use when the user asks to fix a bug, contribute a bug fix, contribute to fix bug, open a PR for a bug, or debug and PR a LazyCodex/Codex defect. Triggers: lcx-contribute-bug-fix, git-bugfix-contribution, verify, tool." metadata: short-description: Contribute verified LazyCodex or Codex bug fixes

lcx-contribute-bug-fix

Use this skill to debug a concrete LazyCodex or Codex defect, implement the smallest correct fix in a fresh temporary workspace, and deliver it. Work in English, keep the body short, and support every claim with runtime or source evidence.

Route ownership the same way as $lcx-report-bug, but the deliverable differs by target:

• code-yeongyu/lazycodex for LazyCodex, lazycodex-ai, omo-codex, bundled skills, hooks, MCP wiring, installer behavior, marketplace sync, docs, or packaging. Deliverable: a verified-fix issue with the patch embedded. NEVER open a PR or push a branch against this repo — its contents are regenerated from the source tree on every release, so PRs there cannot be merged and will be closed.
• openai/codex for upstream Codex CLI bugs that reproduce without LazyCodex or come from Codex core behavior. Deliverable: a PR from a fork.

Required Outcome

For openai/codex, create a fork PR that includes:

• a focused branch from a fresh ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} clone/worktree
• reproduction logs from before the fix
• the smallest implementation that fixes the defect
• verification logs from after the fix
• apply lazycodex-generated when label management is available
• the required LazyCodex footer tag Tag: lazycodex-generated
• cleanup of temporary worktrees and clones

For code-yeongyu/lazycodex, create an issue (never a PR) that includes:

• reproduction logs from before the fix
• the root cause with source evidence
• the verified patch as a unified diff, produced and tested in a fresh ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} clone/worktree
• verification logs from after the fix
• the lazycodex-generated label and the footer tag Tag: lazycodex-generated
• cleanup of temporary worktrees and clones

Required Workflow

1. Read the user's bug report and identify the affected surface.
2. Invoke $omo:debugging for the investigation. If only unqualified skill names are exposed, invoke $debugging and state that it is the OMO debugging skill.
3. Materialize the latest sources under LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT="${LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-sources}", then decide the target repository. Sync both checkouts on every run and compare them before choosing. Validate cached checkouts before reuse so an incomplete .git directory cannot route the fix to the wrong repo:

LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT="${LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-sources}"
mkdir -p "$LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT"

valid_source_checkout() {
  DEST="$1"
  git -C "$DEST" rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
    git -C "$DEST" config --get remote.origin.url >/dev/null 2>&1
}

recover_corrupt_source_checkout() {
  DEST="$1"
  if [ -e "$DEST" ] && ! valid_source_checkout "$DEST"; then
    QUARANTINED="$DEST.corrupt.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)"
    mv "$DEST" "$QUARANTINED"
    echo "Moved corrupt source cache $DEST to $QUARANTINED" >&2
  fi
}

sync_latest_source() {
  REPO="$1"; DEST="$2"
  recover_corrupt_source_checkout "$DEST"
  if [ ! -d "$DEST" ]; then
    gh repo clone "$REPO" "$DEST" -- --depth=1 \
      || git clone --depth=1 "https://github.com/$REPO" "$DEST"
  fi
  if ! valid_source_checkout "$DEST"; then
    echo "Source cache $DEST is not a usable git checkout after clone" >&2
    return 1
  fi
  git -C "$DEST" remote set-url origin "https://github.com/$REPO.git" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  DEFAULT_BRANCH="$(git -C "$DEST" remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p')"
  if [ -z "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]; then
    DEFAULT_BRANCH="$(git -C "$DEST" symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's#^origin/##')"
  fi
  if [ -z "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]; then
    echo "Could not determine default branch for $REPO in $DEST" >&2
    return 1
  fi
  git -C "$DEST" fetch --depth=1 origin "$DEFAULT_BRANCH"
  git -C "$DEST" checkout -B "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" FETCH_HEAD
}
sync_latest_source code-yeongyu/lazycodex "$LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT/lazycodex-source"
sync_latest_source openai/codex "$LAZYCODEX_SOURCE_ROOT/openai-codex-source"

4. Create a fresh temporary clone and branch under ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}. Do not modify the user's current repository for the target fix unless the current repository is itself the requested target and the user explicitly asked for local edits.

TARGET_REPO="code-yeongyu/lazycodex" # or openai/codex
WORK_ROOT="$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-fix-XXXXXX")"
gh repo clone "$TARGET_REPO" "$WORK_ROOT/repo" -- --depth=1
cd "$WORK_ROOT/repo"
BASE_BRANCH="$(git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p')"
git fetch origin "$BASE_BRANCH" --depth=1
BRANCH_NAME="lazycodex/bug-fix-<short-slug>"
git worktree add "$WORK_ROOT/worktree" -b "$BRANCH_NAME" "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"
cd "$WORK_ROOT/worktree"

If gh cannot clone, use git clone --depth=1 "https://github.com/$TARGET_REPO" "$WORK_ROOT/repo" and continue with the same worktree flow.

5. Reproduce the bug in the worktree through the real surface. Save exact command output to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-fix-<short-slug>-repro.log.
6. Write or update a failing regression test before production changes. Confirm it fails for the bug, not for a missing fixture or typo.
7. Implement the smallest correct fix. Avoid refactors unless the fix cannot be made safely without one.
8. Run the regression test, adjacent tests, and the smallest real-surface QA command that proves the user-visible behavior changed.
9. Commit the verified fix in the worktree. Inspect the status first so the delivered diff cannot be empty or stale:

git status --short
git add -A
git commit -m "fix: <short bug-fix summary>"
git log --oneline "origin/$BASE_BRANCH..HEAD"

10. Build the delivery body for the target:

• openai/codex: generate the PR body with scripts/create-pr-body.mjs.
• code-yeongyu/lazycodex: export the verified patch and write the issue body from the Verified-Fix Issue Template below:

PATCH_FILE="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-fix-<short-slug>.patch"
git diff "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"..HEAD > "$PATCH_FILE"

11. Ensure the generated label exists when the target repo allows label management. Keep the footer tag even when label creation is unavailable:

LABEL_ARGS=()
if gh label create lazycodex-generated --repo "$TARGET_REPO" --color "7C3AED" --description "Created by LazyCodex" --force; then
  LABEL_ARGS=(--label lazycodex-generated)
else
  echo "Label management unavailable for $TARGET_REPO; keeping the footer tag only."
fi

12. Deliver the fix.

• code-yeongyu/lazycodex: create the verified-fix issue. Never push a branch to this repo and never run gh pr create against it:

ISSUE_BODY="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/lazycodex-fix-<short-slug>-issue.md"
gh issue create --repo code-yeongyu/lazycodex --title "<short fix title>" "${LABEL_ARGS[@]}" --body-file "$ISSUE_BODY"

• openai/codex: fork, push the branch to the fork, and create the PR:

gh repo fork openai/codex --remote --remote-name fork
GH_USER="$(gh api user --jq .login)"
git push -u fork "$BRANCH_NAME"
gh pr create --repo openai/codex --base "$BASE_BRANCH" --head "$GH_USER:$BRANCH_NAME" --title "<short fix title>" "${LABEL_ARGS[@]}" --body-file "$PR_BODY"

13. Clean up:

cd /
git -C "$WORK_ROOT/repo" worktree remove "$WORK_ROOT/worktree"
find "$WORK_ROOT" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -r -- {} +
rmdir "$WORK_ROOT"

Return the PR or issue URL, the reproduction command, the verification command, and the cleanup receipt.

Verified-Fix Issue Template (code-yeongyu/lazycodex)

[Exact failing command and relevant log excerpt.]

## Root Cause
[Confirmed cause with runtime and source evidence.]

## Verified Fix
[What changed and why this is the smallest correct fix.]

```diff
[Contents of $PATCH_FILE.]
```

## Verification
- [RED test output or repro before the fix]
- [GREEN test output after the fix]
- [Manual QA command and result]

Stop Conditions

Stop and ask one narrow question only when:

• the bug cannot be reproduced from available information
• target repository ownership remains ambiguous after comparing LazyCodex and upstream Codex evidence
• authentication is missing for creating the issue or pushing and creating the PR
• the fix requires a product decision rather than a technical correction

Do not open:

• a PR or pushed branch targeting code-yeongyu/lazycodex — deliver the verified-fix issue instead, always
• a PR or verified-fix issue without a failing-before and passing-after test
• a PR or verified-fix issue without a real-surface QA command
• a PR or issue without the Tag: lazycodex-generated footer
• a verified-fix issue without the patch embedded in a diff block
• a vague fix that does not identify the root cause
• a broad refactor disguised as a bug fix
