ccc-node uses the node-local authenticated git and gh CLI as the default
transport for every GitHub read and write. The OpenAI-curated GitHub plugin is
connector-first, so leaving it enabled causes an avoidable connector attempt
before the agent falls back to gh on nodes where the connector cannot finish
the operation.
setup.sh applies this supported Codex plugin toggle under CODEX_HOME
(default $HOME/.codex):
[plugins."github@openai-curated-remote"]
enabled = falseThe updater changes only that canonical table, validates TOML before and after,
writes atomically with mode 0600, and never prints the config body. It rejects
symlinks, hardlinks, invalid TOML, and noncanonical inline/dotted forms instead
of risking unrelated node-local settings or credentials.
Codex's auto-managed global AGENTS.md block and Claude Code's gh-pr-flow
skill carry the matching behavioral policy:
- use local
gitand authenticatedghfor GitHub operations; - do not use a GitHub App, connector, MCP, or plugin unless the user explicitly requests that transport in the current task;
- report a failed
ghoperation instead of automatically retrying through a connector; - verify
gh auth statusbefore the first authenticated operation when the session has not already done so.
python3 scripts/ccc_codex_github_policy.py status --json
gh auth statusThe policy status must be disabled, and gh auth status must show the
intended node identity. Plugin cache files may remain on disk; the config toggle,
not cache deletion, controls whether Codex loads the plugin.
If a current task explicitly requires the GitHub connector, open Codex, run
/plugins, select the installed GitHub plugin, and press Space to enable it.
Start a new session and state the connector requirement in that task. The next
ccc-node setup/self-update disables it again, restoring the fleet default.
