# Set Up the Bridge

Treat a plain invocation as `action=all target=peer scope=auto live=prompt`. The loaded Claude plugin, Claude trust, Claude authentication, and current session are external bootstrap prerequisites: never try to replace or restart the current invocation surface. Reject a model-supplied workspace; use Claude's launch workspace.

Run `python --version` first and stop if it is unavailable or older than Python 3.10. Parse only the documented `key=value` grammar plus the one-release compatibility forms `--live` and `--direction codex|claude`; reject ambiguous or unknown arguments. For one resolved target, invoke `python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/bridge_setup.py" --current-host claude --workspace "<launch-workspace>" --action "<action>" --target "<target>" --scope "<scope>" --live "<live>"`. The deterministic planner performs credential-free inspection and returns the setup result JSON defined by `schemas/setup-result.schema.json`.

For `check`, report the result and stop. For `all`, `configure`, or `repair`, show every planned `operations` entry and the approval digest before any mutation. Obtain explicit approval for exactly that digest. State: action and purpose; exact native argv and resolved target/scope; external capability; credential behavior; filesystem and host-configuration effects; rollback evidence; retry policy; safe denial outcome. After approval, rerun the identical command with `--approve "<approval_digest>"`. The host-held HMAC makes the digest tamper-evident but does not grant consent; explicit operator or host approval remains required. The digest is action-bound, expires, and is consumed by its first execution attempt. Never substitute `--approve` without its digest. A denial, changed or expired digest, replay, unsupported capability, failed probe, or failed native operation stops without retry.

When authentication remains, re-plan the provider-owned interactive login with the identical host, workspace, target, scope, and live values but `--action authenticate`. Obtain separate approval for that action's digest and state that the exact `authentication_argv` may open a browser and use network and account state. This is the sensitive phase: give the operator the identical authenticate command plus `--approve "<authentication_digest>"` to run in their own terminal; never run it through model-controlled Bash or another captured tool stream. Bridge then launches only the native login command with that terminal inherited. Never accept, request, pipe, echo, inspect, or store a token, API key, browser code, device code, email, or raw login output. Process exit means `auth-flow-launched`; only a later redacted status probe may establish `host-authenticated`.

When `live=prompt` or `live=required` reaches `inference-unverified`, re-plan with the identical host, workspace, target, and scope but `--action verify-live`. Obtain a third approval for that action's digest and one paid provider call. State network, installed-CLI-managed credential, quota/cost, workspace, and point-in-time semantics, then rerun that same verify-live command with `--approve "<live_digest>"`. Never invoke the lower-level live doctor outside this approval path. A successful live CLI result remains partial until applicable loaded-session/workspace evidence is also present. `live=skip` remains `inference-unverified`; never call it ready. Denial under `live=required` is non-ready.

Setup always owns one resolved peer target. To prepare both integrations, finish the peer lifecycle from Claude, start any required fresh session, then run `$bridge:setup` from Codex for its peer; no digest, state claim, or readiness result is shared between hosts. The loaded-host branch is check/bootstrap-only and never mutates its current invocation surface. `bridge_status` evidence belongs to a fresh Codex session and is required before claiming that reverse MCP session/workspace ready. Report the strongest verified level, exact remaining action, confidence, and limits. Never equate static readiness, process exit, host authentication, session readiness, workspace readiness, or live verification.
