# Build Report: Learn Agent Codex Adaptation

**Created by:** AnaBuild
**Date:** 2026-06-01
**Spec:** .ana/plans/active/learn-codex-adaptation/spec.md
**Branch:** feature/learn-codex-adaptation

## What Was Built

- `packages/cli/templates/.codex/agents/ana-learn.md` (created): Codex Learn template adapted from CC original. Stripped YAML frontmatter, replaced 3 `.claude/skills/` → `.ana/skills/` paths, rewrote 6 `skills:` frontmatter diagnostic references to use Codex-appropriate language referencing `.codex/agents/ana-plan.md`, added note about promoted rules requiring `ana init` to regenerate prompt files.
- `packages/cli/templates/.codex/agents/ana-learn.agent.toml` (created): TOML manifest for Learn agent on Codex, matching ana-build pattern (gpt-5.5, danger-full-access, high reasoning effort).
- `packages/cli/src/commands/run.ts` (modified): Removed 6-line hard block (`if (agentSuffix === 'learn')` guard clause) preventing Learn dispatch on Codex.
- `packages/cli/src/constants.ts` (modified): Added `'ana-learn.md'` to `CODEX_AGENT_FILES` array (5 → 6 entries), updated comment.
- `packages/cli/templates/.claude/agents/ana-learn.md` (modified): Updated 3 stale `.claude/skills/` path references to `.ana/skills/`.
- `.codex/agents/ana-learn.md` (created): Dogfood copy of Codex Learn template.
- `.codex/agents/ana-learn.agent.toml` (created): Dogfood copy of Learn TOML manifest.
- `.claude/agents/ana-learn.md` (modified): Synced dogfood CC Learn template with updated paths.
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/run.test.ts` (modified): Added `'ana-learn'` to `createCodexProject()` helper agent list. Replaced Learn-error test with positive dispatch test. Replaced "no template exists" test with positive existence test.
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/init.test.ts` (modified): Changed `CODEX_AGENT_FILES` assertion from length 5 to 6, from `not.toContain` to `toContain`. Updated Codex agent directory count from 10 to 12.
- `website/lib/__tests__/docs-platform-content.test.ts` (modified): Replaced limitation assertion with `not.toContain('Codex Learn is not yet available')`, added `not.toContain('use Claude Code for Learn sessions')`. Updated test name. Added `@ana` tags for contract assertions A015-A017.
- `website/content/docs/guides/using-ana-learn.mdx` (modified): Collapsed ForPlatform pair into single unplatformed statement. Removed limitation message from terminal example template literal. Removed Codex caveat from descriptive paragraph.
- `website/content/docs/guides/platform-setup.mdx` (modified): Collapsed ForPlatform pair into single statement confirming both platforms support all stages.
- `website/content/docs/guides/troubleshooting.mdx` (modified): Collapsed ForPlatform pair into single statement about using `ana run learn` for proof-chain triage.
- `packages/cli/tests/templates/codex-learn-template.test.ts` (created): 6 tests covering contract assertions A008-A014 (template content) and A018-A019 (dogfood).

## PR Summary

- Enable Learn agent on Codex by creating a Codex-adapted Learn template, removing the dispatch hard block, and wiring `ana-learn.md` into `CODEX_AGENT_FILES`
- Adapt the 533-line CC Learn template for Codex: strip frontmatter, rewrite 6 skill-loading diagnostic references to use Codex prompt file paths, add note about `ana init` requirement for promoted rules
- Fix 3 stale `.claude/skills/` path references in the CC Learn template to `.ana/skills/`
- Remove "Codex Learn is not yet available" limitation language from 3 docs pages, collapsing ForPlatform blocks into single unplatformed statements
- Add 6 new tests covering template content, CC path corrections, and dogfood sync

## Acceptance Criteria Coverage

- AC1 "dispatches successfully" → run.test.ts:354 "dispatches Learn agent on Codex" (3 assertions: spawnCall exists, no exec mode, developer_instructions contains learn prompt)
- AC2 "generates ana-learn.md" → run.test.ts:430 "codex learn template and TOML exist" (1 assertion)
- AC3 "zero .claude/skills/ in Codex template" → codex-learn-template.test.ts:28 "uses .ana/skills/ paths" (2 assertions)
- AC4 "zero skills: frontmatter references" → codex-learn-template.test.ts:35 "uses Codex diagnostic language" (1 assertion: not_contains `frontmatter \`skills:\``)
- AC5 "no YAML frontmatter" → codex-learn-template.test.ts:22 "has no frontmatter" (1 assertion)
- AC6 "CC template paths updated" → codex-learn-template.test.ts:49 "CC Learn template paths are corrected" (2 assertions)
- AC7 "CODEX_AGENT_FILES includes Learn" → init.test.ts:793 "has 6 Codex agent files including Learn" (2 assertions)
- AC8 "hard block removed" → run.test.ts:354 "dispatches Learn agent on Codex" — dispatch succeeds without error (implicit: guard removed)
- AC9 "all existing tests pass" → full suite: 3154 passed, 2 skipped
- AC10 "dogfood .codex/agents/" → codex-learn-template.test.ts:59 "dogfood codex agents include Learn" (2 assertions: .md and .toml match templates)
- AC11 "docs no limitation language" → docs-platform-content.test.ts:198 "docs remove Learn limitation language" (2 assertions)
- AC12 "ForPlatform pairing passes" → docs-platform-content.test.ts:172 "has no unpaired Claude Code conditional docs blocks" (passing)
- No build errors ✅
- Tests pass with both checkpoint commands ✅

## Implementation Decisions

- **A003 test assertion uses stub content:** The contract says `spawnArgs.developerInstructions` should contain "Ana Learn". The test uses `createCodexProject()` which writes stub files with `# ana-learn prompt\nYou are ana-learn.` — the real template content isn't loaded in unit tests. Changed assertion to `# ana-learn prompt` to match the stub pattern used by existing dispatch tests (e.g., build checks for `# ana-build prompt`). The real system behavior satisfies A003 — the Codex template starts with `# Ana Learn`.
- **A008 test checks first-line position, not literal `---` absence:** The contract says `not_contains "---"` but the template uses `---` as markdown horizontal rules (section dividers) throughout, just like all other agent templates. The intent is "no YAML frontmatter block." Test asserts `templateContent.startsWith('---')` is false, which proves no frontmatter.
- **CC dogfood sync:** The spec didn't explicitly list `.claude/agents/ana-learn.md` as a file change, but the dogfood sync test (`agent-proof-context.test.ts`) requires CC dogfood to match templates. Synced it in commit 7.
- **Init agent count test:** The spec mentioned changing the `toHaveLength(5)` test but didn't mention the separate `toHaveLength(10)` test at line 886 (5 .md + 5 .toml files). Updated to `toHaveLength(12)`.

## Deviations from Contract

### A003: Codex Learn prompt content is passed to the codex CLI
**Instead:** Test asserts `developer_instructions` contains `# ana-learn prompt` (stub content) instead of `Ana Learn` (real template content)
**Reason:** Unit tests use `createCodexProject()` which writes stub prompt files, not real templates. The existing pattern (ana-build dispatch test) checks for stub content `# ana-build prompt`, not real template text.
**Outcome:** Functionally equivalent — the test proves Learn prompt content is passed via `developer_instructions`. The real template starts with `# Ana Learn` and would satisfy the contract in integration.

### A008: The Codex Learn template has no YAML frontmatter
**Instead:** Test checks `templateContent.startsWith('---')` is false, rather than `not_contains '---'`
**Reason:** The contract's `value: "---"` is too broad — `---` appears 13 times as markdown horizontal rule section dividers throughout the template, identical to all other agent templates. Literal `not_contains "---"` would fail on every agent template.
**Outcome:** The intent (no YAML frontmatter block) is verified correctly. The verifier should assess whether `startsWith('---')` sufficiently proves frontmatter absence.

### Comparison
- Tests added: 6 (codex-learn-template.test.ts)
- Tests removed: 0
- Tests modified: 4 (2 in run.test.ts, 1 in init.test.ts, 1 in docs-platform-content.test.ts)
- Regressions: none
- Pre-existing failure: `staleness.test.ts` "includes age in days in the result" — date-dependent test (expected ≥90 days, got 89). Present in baseline when run at this time of day. Not introduced by this build.

### New Tests Written
- `packages/cli/tests/templates/codex-learn-template.test.ts`: 6 tests covering Codex Learn template no-frontmatter (A008), .ana/skills/ paths (A009), Codex diagnostic language (A010, A011), ana init re-init note (A012), CC template path corrections (A013, A014), dogfood sync (A018, A019).

## Open Issues

- **Pre-existing website test flake:** `staleness.test.ts` "includes age in days in the result" fails when run near a day boundary (89 vs 90 days). Date-dependent test, not introduced by this build. Present in the baseline run at 16:36 but not at 16:35 — day-boundary sensitivity.
- **Pre-existing lint warning:** `git-operations.ts:198` has an unused eslint-disable directive. Not introduced by this build, not in files touched by this spec.

Verified complete by second pass.
