feat(gui): Child versions, actions and automation policy on the Remote Link page - #8581
wp6 of the Home-orchestrated Child updates roadmap (devlog/_plan/261111_link_child_updates/060_dashboard.md). The Remote Link page now shows what the Home knows about each Child and lets the operator act on it. Until now this was only possible from the CLI or API.
Per-Child badges (from GET /api/link/status?children=1): running and installed version, install kind (npm, pnpm, Bun, Desktop app, GOAT-managed, mise, source, ocx-child), whether it is behind or ahead of the Home, whether an update is available, catalog freshness, a "Codex restart needed" count, the running operation, and the last operation's result.
Row actions: Check, Sync now, Restart Codex (the scope is chosen per click; the app-server scope does not refresh the Codex desktop app's own app-server) and Update. Restart and Update are disabled only while a request is in flight or a job holds that Child; the server stays the final verdict.
Check all and Update all: a running job shows live per-Child progress, and a job that was already running is picked up again after a reload. The Update and Update all confirmations say that a manual update ends any turn currently relayed for that Child, and that automatic updates wait for idle.
Child automation panel:
Catalog fan-out, Codex restart, Updates and the idle threshold.
The Updates setting notes that automatic updates are not active until the update sweep ships.
A damaged policy file shows a banner explaining that automatic modes are off, and saving then sends every setting.
Edits survive the 5-second status polling.
Errors: six new operation error codes and their messages.
Locales: every new string exists in all 11 catalogs.
Docs: the Remote Link guide in English and 7 translations (including "let active Codex turns finish, then restart"), plus structure/remote-link.md.
No server code changes. New code lives in gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx and gui/src/remote-link-child-ops-api.ts; RemoteLink.tsx is 657 lines.
The screenshot is rendered from a local fake-status harness. It shows three Children: one behind with an update running, one current, and one ocx-child.
Verification
cd gui && bun run test: 4,465 pass, 0 fail (implementation lane). Focused remote-link.test.tsx, remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx, locale-parity.test.ts and i18n-locales.test.ts rerun on the final head: 94 pass, 0 fail.
Failing first: with RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx moved aside, remote-link-child-ops.test.tsx cannot load. Before the locale keys landed it had 13 failures.
cd gui && bun run lint and bun run lint:i18n: clean. bun run build:gui: pass.
bun run typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check and bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts: pass. Docs ci-workflow tests: 115 pass.
NOT RUN: the full root suite locally (shared, loaded host; CI covers it).
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added Remote Link dashboard controls to check, sync, restart Codex on, and update Home-managed Children, individually or in bulk.
Added operation progress and status indicators, plus Child automation policy settings. Controls reflect active jobs and available actions.
Documentation
Updated Remote Link guides in multiple languages with dashboard controls, operation behavior, policy settings, and cautions about active Codex turns. Manual updates restart OpenCodex and may end relayed turns; automatic updates wait for the Child to be idle.
The Remote Link dashboard now displays Child status and provides per-Child and bulk check, sync, restart, and update operations. It tracks operation jobs and provides a Child automation policy editor. The change also adds translations, tests, and guide updates.

Pressing Refresh while saving child automation settings can briefly show old values next to a "Saved" message. During Check all or Update all, rows and Disconnect stay disabled until the whole job completes. Both are cosmetic or inconvenient and have workarounds, so the change is mergeable with these noted.

Explanation
The title "feat(gui): Child versions, actions and automation policy on the Remote Link page" matches the main change. The PR adds Child version information, per-Child operation controls (Check, Sync now, Restart Codex, Update), bulk Check all and Update all actions, and a Child automation policy panel to the Remote Link page. The title is specific and concise, and it omits only the docs, i18n, and API details, which is expected. The title is 80 characters, which is slightly long but still readable.

Match bulk update targets to the confirmed child set
When one Child is updatable and another is already current, the dialog confirms updating one Child, but this request targets both. src/link/child-ops-engine.ts expands "all" to every stored link, and runUpdateItem in src/link/child-ops-runners.ts runs a pinned sync before checking whether the Child is already up to date or requires owner action. That sync can apply changed Home settings and restart the Child runtime through src/cli/sync-command.ts, interrupting requests on a Child excluded from the confirmation count. Submit the confirmed updatable link IDs, or make the confirmation explicitly cover every Child that will receive this potentially disruptive sync.

Correct. Fixed in 995b216: Update all and Check all post the explicit linkIds of the rows the dialog counted, never "all"; a test asserts the POST body.

- Line 245: Update the child-badge documentation to describe only badges this
release can show: retain “Catalog current” and “Catalog out of date,” and state
that “Codex restart needed” and “Codex not running” are not shown while
child.codex remains null. Apply the same correction to the matching sections in
the Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese guides.

- Line 586: Update the child-row hold logic near ChildRowActions so a row is
considered busy when either row.child.activeJob is present or childJobs.items
contains a queued or running job for that link. Apply the same hold state to
both ChildRowActions and Disconnect, including immediately after trackJob
accepts a job and before the next status poll.
Review comments at @gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx:
- Line 345: Update the policy-loading flow in RemoteLinkChildActions so a failed
initial policy GET leaves the policy error visible with a Retry action, or make
the existing Refresh action rerun that loader using the same apiBase and
callback. Ensure retrying can populate read and draft without requiring a page
remount.
- Line 320: Update the operation-item rendering in RemoteLinkChildActions to
display item.hint below the reason when a hint is present. Preserve the existing
reason-token rendering and keep the hint bounded.
- Line 160: Update RestartCodexDialog so opening it resets scope to the default
app-server value, even when ChildRowActions keeps the dialog mounted; preserve
the desktop selection only during the current opening. Add coverage for
selecting the desktop scope, cancelling, and reopening to confirm the default is
restored.
- Line 258: Update the confirmation handler to pass the IDs from the `updatable`
rows to `run` instead of using `"all"`. Keep the existing confirmation flow so
the update applies only to the Children represented in the dialog’s count.

Release held links as each item completes.
jobHoldsLink releases an item only when its state is no longer queued or running. The page-level childJobs snapshot never receives polled item states, because ChildJobProgress keeps them in local state. A link therefore stays disabled until the whole bulk job finishes, even when its item has completed. This affects Disconnect and the other row actions during an Update all or Check all run.
Propagate each polled snapshot to the page so the hold follows item progress:

Serialize policy refreshes with policy saves.
Refresh remains enabled while policyBusy is true. In gui/src/pages/RemoteLinkChildActions.tsx, Lines 353–438, both load and save replace read and draft.
If Refresh starts a GET while a PUT is pending, the GET can capture the old policy and finish after the PUT. The GET then replaces the successfully saved policy in the editor with old values. The “Saved” indicator can remain visible because load does not clear it.
Disable policy reload while saving. Also cancel or invalidate an existing policy read when a save starts, because Refresh can start immediately before Save.

Prevent an older policy reload from overwriting a completed save.
An explicit Refresh now starts another policy GET while the existing editor remains available. The loader does not mark the panel busy.
If that GET reads the old policy, the operator can save an existing draft before the GET response arrives. The PUT response updates read, draft, and saved at Line 397. The older GET can then overwrite read and draft at Line 368. The panel displays the old settings while still displaying the saved confirmation, although the server stored the new settings.
Serialize policy reloads and saves, or invalidate pending reads when a save starts. Also prevent a pending reload from replacing edits made after that reload began.
