+## Why
+
+- `main` still fails the `CI` workflow after `7.0.14` because several unit tests no longer match the current Guardex CLI/output contract.
+- One runtime path is also still wrong: `agent-branch-finish.sh` ignores `branch.<agent>.guardexBase` and falls back to `dev`, which breaks `main`-only finish flows.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Make `agent-branch-finish.sh` and its install template prefer stored `guardexBase` branch metadata before falling back to repo defaults.
+- Make `agent-branch-start.sh` and its install template print the resolved base branch in the suggested finish command instead of hardcoding `dev`.
+- Update focused test expectations to the current Guardex naming and status/output contract (`agent/codex/...`, `scripts/*`, current self-update entrypoint behavior, and current doctor reporting text).
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected runtime surfaces:
+  - `scripts/agent-branch-start.sh`
+  - `scripts/agent-branch-finish.sh`
+  - matching template scripts
+- Affected regression coverage:
+  - `test/install.test.js`
+  - `test/metadata.test.js`
+- Risk is narrow and limited to branch-finish base resolution plus CLI/test expectation parity.

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: branch finish honors stored agent base metadata
+Guardex SHALL use the stored `branch.<agent-branch>.guardexBase` value when finishing an agent branch unless the caller explicitly overrides `--base`.
+
+#### Scenario: finish runs in a main-only repo
+- **GIVEN** an agent branch created from `main`
+- **AND** Guardex stored `branch.<agent-branch>.guardexBase=main`
+- **WHEN** `scripts/agent-branch-finish.sh --branch <agent-branch>` runs without an explicit `--base`
+- **THEN** Guardex SHALL finish against `main`
+- **AND** it SHALL NOT fall back to `dev`.
+
+### Requirement: branch start prints the resolved finish base
+Guardex SHALL print the actual resolved base branch in the suggested finish command emitted by `agent-branch-start`.
+
+#### Scenario: protected base is main
+- **GIVEN** an agent branch created from `main`
+- **WHEN** `scripts/agent-branch-start.sh` prints next steps
+- **THEN** the suggested finish command SHALL include `--base main`
+- **AND** it SHALL match the stored `guardexBase` metadata.
+
+### Requirement: CI regression tests track current Guardex CLI output
+Focused CI coverage SHALL match the current Guardex naming and reporting contract for doctor/setup/self-update/codex-agent flows.
+
+#### Scenario: current naming contract is exercised
+- **WHEN** the doctor and codex-agent regression tests run
+- **THEN** they SHALL expect current `agent/codex/...` branch names and `agent__codex__...` worktree paths
+- **AND** they SHALL match the current `gitguardex` output strings rather than deprecated `guardex` or older role-specific naming.

+## 1. Specification
+
+- [x] 1.1 Finalize proposal scope and acceptance criteria for `agent-codex-fix-remaining-cli-ci-failures-2026-04-21-11-42`.

+## 2. Implementation
+
+- [x] 2.1 Implement scoped behavior changes.
+- [x] 2.2 Add/update focused regression coverage.
+
+## 3. Verification
+
+- [x] 3.1 Run targeted project verification commands.
+- [x] 3.2 Run `openspec validate agent-codex-fix-remaining-cli-ci-failures-2026-04-21-11-42 --type change --strict`.
+- [x] 3.3 Run `openspec validate --specs`.

+## 4. Completion
+
+- [ ] 4.1 Finish the agent branch via PR merge + cleanup (`gx finish --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup` or `bash scripts/agent-branch-finish.sh --branch <agent-branch> --base <base-branch> --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup`).
+- [ ] 4.2 Record PR URL + final `MERGED` state in the completion handoff.
+- [ ] 4.3 Confirm sandbox cleanup (`git worktree list`, `git branch -a`) or capture a `BLOCKED:` handoff if merge/cleanup is pending.
