It does not add a production tool, change a provider or authorize +new target execution. This directory is outside the package's `files` list. + +See [the measured pilot results](results-2026-10-15.md) before interpreting +this harness as evidence of a code-mode benefit. + +## Decision and preregistration + +Primary comparison: the best supported current REA workflow, including source +selection, summaries and retained views, versus the **same** backend, artifacts, +tool allowlist and analyst question accessed through client code execution. +The model writes its own loops, filtering and joins; canned author-written +projection scripts are not credited as agent code-mode results. + +Requested model: **gpt-5.6-terra**, reasoning **high**, local Codex CLI. Preserve +the requested alias and separately observe what the client actually does. +Do not silently substitute another model or interpret a feature flag as proof +of execution mode. Existing REA experiments found executor use in trials +labelled direct, and direct MCP calls in trials labelled code-mode. + +Hypothesis: code mode reduces total and uncached model input plus end-to-end +latency for questions requiring multiple dependent reads or aggregation, +without reducing claim correctness, provenance or coverage honesty. Simple +lookups may instead cost more because of discovery, code generation and +debugging. A null, negative or inconclusive result is valid. + +Use shipped applications and real public-web observations, not CTFs, synthetic +applications or source-owned demonstration targets in the scored cohort: + +- Obsidian 1.14.4's published Electron ASAR, pinned by the existing corpus + acquisition and artifact digests; static investigation only. +- A frozen capture of the actual public Excalidraw application in an owned + empty-profile browser. Reuse the exact recorded bytes across treatments; + do not compare independently changing live sessions as equivalent inputs. + +Questions cover a small exact lookup, a cross-record/IPC or source join, +network aggregation, and a claim the available evidence cannot establish. +Score exact requested facts and evidence-supported unknowns. Do not count +keyword mentions, fluent prose or a smaller response as correctness. + +Before scored trials, establish a native treatment-validity gate: direct runs +must contain actual direct MCP calls and no JavaScript executor. That gate +failed with Codex 0.161.0: the requested direct configuration invoked `exec`, +which failed when its host was disabled. The enabled host successfully called +the same session tool. These are retained infrastructure observations, not +scored application comparisons. + +The scored pilot therefore uses a common **external JSON action protocol**. +The same Codex CLI samples one action at a time, with native tools disabled; +the same REA SDK client executes each action. Direct actions invoke one +production tool; code actions run model-written synchronous JavaScript in +QuickJS and expose the same production tools through `rea.call(name,args)`. +Both can discover original contracts on demand. No author-written answer +projection is inserted into either treatment. Any observed native tool call +invalidates the controlled trial. This measures organization under this +protocol, not native Codex direct-MCP versus native Codex code-mode latency. + +Every model round starts a new CLI invocation with the full common question +and accumulated action/observation history. Count all actual usage, including +repeated client instructions and generated JSON escaping. Common client +startup and context replay can amplify a difference in model round count; +this is a limitation of the pilot, not a production speedup claim. + +Use the same relevant minimal tool allowlist in both primary arms, rather +than charging one arm the complete unrelated REA catalog. Measure discovery +separately. Dossier versus primitive versus retained-view organization is a +secondary question: it must not be confounded with backend quality, task +selection, tool count or extra information available only to one arm. + +Freeze the task set and expected facts before model trials. Run counterbalanced pairs +serially, retain all planned outcomes, and separate development smoke checks +from the scored cohort. Report this as a pilot, not a population-level result. + +## Resource and data controls + +Reuse `../analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py --memory-gib 8 --observe-payload-exit`: +one CPU, 8 GiB whole-process-tree hard memory, no swap, a 6 GiB early stop, +192 tasks (browser acquisition may explicitly use the verified 256-task +ceiling), at least 12 GiB host available memory to start, and a stop below +4 GiB available. Earlier build/native preflights used the unchanged 4 GiB +default; the user subsequently authorized 8 GiB total. Run builds, +acquisition, analysis and model trials one at a time. Retain limit and cleanup +failures. Payload-exit counters are not final whole-scope counters. + +Reuse `agent-trial.py`'s isolated account/configuration, authentication-only +copy and guaranteed credential removal. Disable shell, browser driving, +unrelated tools and multi-agent delegation during static trials. Analyze data +in code without evaluating target JavaScript. Downloads, runtime artifacts, +original Evidence and transcripts stay outside the checkout. Persist only +explicit selected settings, never ambient environment or credentials. Guest +code has a 128 MiB heap, 5 seconds compute per cell excluding backend waits, +64 KiB source and 512 KiB printed output; both arms share a 64 backend-call +trial limit including preparation. Model rounds time out after 180 seconds; +the trial has a 960-second watchdog and at most ten actions. + +Preparation uses a fresh production REA process per trial, a 512 MiB parent +Node old-generation heap and production worker limits. This can truncate the +semantic graph; retain and report the original coverage. Selected task facts +must agree with the frozen oracle. Do not generalize this cohort to complete +semantic reconstruction. Both treatments use identical settings. + +Report model input/cached/uncached/output/reasoning usage when observed, +per-response context observations, discovery and printed intermediate output, +errors and retries, wall time, CPU and process-family/cgroup memory. Label +BPE estimates separately from actual model usage and unknown physical counters +explicitly. Keep startup/preparation versus question-only costs separate; +do not claim a cache speedup from warmed client schema validation. + +## Reuse ledger + +- Reuse unchanged: REA production analysis and evidence tools; the artifact + corpus identities; owned cgroup resource supervisor; selected Codex rollout + capture; isolated profile and authentication cleanup. +- Adapt: the existing agent runner gains an opt-in executor-host switch; its + default remains `inherit` so earlier studies retain their original behavior. +- Learn: whether this installed Codex/model combination can genuinely expose + distinct direct and code execution treatments, and whether benefits survive + actual shipped-application tasks. +- Prototype boundary: no new runtime authority, no IDA database mutation, + production integration, global configuration changes or upstream code copied. + +## Running the pilot + +Use the pinned Node/npm toolchain and an already built runtime. Install +`quickjs-emscripten@0.31.0` in an isolated temporary prefix; do not add a +production dependency. Acquire and verify the Obsidian corpus artifact using +`../analysis-efficiency/corpus.json`. `capture-web.mjs NEW_ABS_DIR ABS_CHROMIUM` +captures the actual public Excalidraw application in an owned sandboxed +browser, using the configured HTTPS proxy without logging its credentials. + +`prepare.py --data ABS_DATA_ROOT` freezes the eight-trial plan, task bytes and +oracles after the separate Obsidian selected-source evidence acquisition. +Its directory names match the recorded experiment acquisition. Each task has +one direct and one code trial; order alternates between tasks, without a +second repetition. Run each separately under the resource supervisor: + +```sh +python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py --memory-gib 8 \ + --observe-payload-exit -- \ + python3 experiments/browser-electron-code-mode/trial.py \ + --arm code --task /tmp/DATA/cohort/TASK.json \ + --output /tmp/DATA/cohort/TASK-code \ + --quickjs /tmp/RUNTIME/node_modules/quickjs-emscripten +``` + +Retain supervisor output as `/tmp/DATA/cohort/TASK-code.log`. +`review.py --cohort /tmp/DATA/cohort` checks exact facts and observed resource +counters. Separately inspect every answer, supporting Evidence and actual +agent code for claim support, honest limitations and treatment validity. +The HAR grouping oracle reads original HAR records independently. Obsidian +counts and module identities are consistency checks against separately +retained producer Evidence; they do not independently validate the extractor. + +The follow-up `prepare_dependencies.py --data ABS_DATA_ROOT` freezes one +additional Obsidian dependency question. Run both arms with +`--compositional-followup --max-rounds 32`: direct actions can contain a batch +of independent calls, and code is explicitly instructed to filter/combine +before printing. The code arm runs first in this single pair. This is an +adaptive follow-up prompted by the first cohort's lack of actual composition, +and is reported separately, with its prompt/protocol changes visible. It does +not replace the original outcomes. Complete raw replies and task facts remain +available to both arms; only the model-visible organization differs. + +`test_backend.py` uses the real session SDK boundary to verify guest isolation, +allowlisting, compute/output limits, subsequent-cell recovery and shutdown. +It requires `REA_EXPERIMENT_QUICKJS` pointing to the isolated QuickJS package +and should run under the same resource supervisor.

This Terra-high pilot did not +demonstrate reliable composition. Preserve the unsuccessful outcomes. + +Ten scored attempts used actual shipped Obsidian 1.14.4 and a frozen startup +capture from the real public Excalidraw application. The initial four-question +cohort produced 4/4 successful direct answers and 3/4 successful code answers. +The code identity answer mistyped one node ID. A separately declared dependent +module-read follow-up succeeded with batched direct calls and failed in code +mode. Failed tasks cannot be credited as token savings or faster completion. + +## Scope and validity + +Production runtime was built from fresh main `6688ed6db`, pinned Node 24.18.0, +npm 11.16.0. Model configuration was `gpt-5.6-terra`, reasoning `high`, through +Codex CLI 0.161.0. The requested alias/configuration is observed; a different +underlying service model identity was not independently verified. + +Native direct-MCP versus native code-mode could not be established. Requested +direct settings still invoked `exec`; disabling the code host rejected that +operation. An app-server dynamic-tool preflight also failed to dispatch even +one registered callback with the host disabled. The model said it had called +the tool; **no actual dynamic callback occurred**. Enabled-host session calls +worked in the earlier infrastructure smoke. These are excluded preflights. + +Scored runs instead use the common external JSON action protocol described in +README.md. No scored run invoked native tools. Direct actions return complete +production structured results, with existing summaries/selectors/views allowed. +Code actions run agent-written JavaScript through the same SDK backend in an +isolated QuickJS 0.31.0 guest. Both see the same relevant two-tool menu and +original contracts on demand. Original complete SDK replies remain retained. + +Each action uses a fresh CLI invocation and replays the history. Thus round +count also changes repeated client instructions, schema exposure and startup +cost. This is a controlled protocol pilot, not native production latency. + +Artifact bytes, task files and expected facts were frozen before the scored +samples. The first cohort alternates arm order by question, one repetition. +The adaptive follow-up enables direct batches and explicitly instructs code-side +projection, with code first in one pair. It is a distinct condition, not a +replacement for the first cohort or a statistically controlled replication. + +Both backends use the same 512 MiB parent heap policy and production worker +limits.

Code question time was 60.55 s versus + 56.84 s. Fewer total input tokens did not imply less uncached work or faster + completion in this pair. +- Both modes repeatedly investigated facts already present in the summary and + encountered ambiguous `main.js` item selectors. Discovery, provenance metadata, + extra calls and retries matter even when the relevant menu contains two tools. +- Code's identity answer substituted one long ID. Access to JavaScript did not + prevent the final model response from corrupting an identifier. +- The dependency follow-up asks for external literal specifiers and occurrence + counts across all 23 main.js module identities, excluding duplicate unresolved + references. Direct used actual batches, retrieved item facts and correctly + returned ten external modules, without claiming runtime loading. Code copied + an invalid ID, did not compose its reads, and returned an unfinished progress + string. Its smaller token/time totals are **failed-task costs**, not savings. +- Both modes correctly refused to equate one static sender-check observation + with authorization enforcement for every IPC handler. Neither claimed a + vulnerability from missing coverage. + +## Decision and next experimental change + +Do not scale this wrapper protocol or treat these results as a reason to replace +REA's current interface. The useful signal is that a code tool's availability +alone did not produce effective composition, while metadata/discovery and exact +identity preservation are measurable burdens. The hypothesis about competent +code composition remains untested here. + +The next bounded study should establish a natural tool-feedback loop that can +actually expose distinct treatments; freeze equivalent retained Evidence; permit +baseline batching; test generic typed/discoverable code primitives on a real +application question; and verify actual agent-written composition before scaling. +Retained materialized answers that avoid identifier retyping are another factor +worth testing separately. Dossier versus primitives versus retained views was +not compared in this pilot. No cache or analysis-speed optimization is claimed. + +## Reproduction and evidence + +Executed validation: pinned runtime build; 63 existing analysis-efficiency +Python tests; four grader boundary tests; two real SDK/sandbox lifecycle tests; +Python compilation and JavaScript syntax checks; affected-file formatting; +`npm run check:fast` (typecheck and lint). The final fast check completed in +56.23 seconds with a verified kernel peak of 4,545,388,544 bytes (4.23 GiB), +zero observed OOM/limit events and verified payload cleanup. The 8/6 GiB +memory limits, zero swap, one-CPU quota/affinity and task ceiling were also +read from the actual owned kernel cgroup and asserted before that check. + +Local evidence root: `/tmp/rea-codemode-experiment-20261015`. It contains pinned +acquisition receipts, full original SDK responses, prompts/actions/observations, +selected Codex tool/usage traces, answers, frozen plans/oracles and resource +receipts. `cohort/review.json` and `dependencies/review.json` are machine-readable. +Raw artifacts, credentials, runtime packages and temporary plans are not committed. +Temporary auth/account profiles were deleted after every trial and preflight. + +Executed v1/v2 sources are retained in `sources-v1/` and `sources-v2/`. V1 source +hashes were measured at receipt time; a measurement-only usage-field patch landed +during the first trial, so those digests do not attest to exact loaded driver +bytes. V2 hashes were captured at startup. Subsequent changes only strengthen +argument validation and teardown failure paths; no scored answer was rerun or +repaired.
