# Summary
Codex required every ChatGPT account to have an email address. A
service-account personal access token can return valid account metadata
without one, so PAT login failed while decoding the metadata response.
This change makes email optional in the account metadata type that owns
it and preserves that absence through authentication, provider account
state, the app-server API, generated clients, and TUI bootstrap.
Existing accounts with email addresses keep the same behavior.
## Behavior-changing call sites
| Call site | Behavior after this change |
| --- | --- |
| `login/src/auth/personal_access_token.rs` | PAT metadata accepts a
missing or null email and retains `None`. |
| `agent-identity/src/lib.rs` | Agent Identity JWT claims accept an
omitted email. |
| `login/src/auth/storage.rs` and `login/src/auth/agent_identity.rs` |
Stored and managed Agent Identity records carry `Option<String>`.
Deserialization maps the legacy empty-string sentinel to `None`. |
| `login/src/auth/manager.rs` | `get_account_email` returns the stored
option, and managed identity bootstrap no longer converts `None` to an
empty string. |
| `model-provider/src/provider.rs` and `protocol/src/account.rs` | A
ChatGPT provider account requires a plan type but may carry no email. |
| `app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/account.rs` | `account/read`
keeps the `email` field on the wire and returns `null` when the account
has no email. Generated TypeScript and JSON schemas describe a required,
nullable field. |
| `sdk/python/src/openai_codex/generated/v2_all.py` | The generated
Python `ChatgptAccount` model accepts `None` for email. |
| `tui/src/app_server_session.rs` | Email-less ChatGPT accounts
bootstrap normally, keep external feedback routing, omit account-email
telemetry, and display the plan in account status. |
## Design decisions
- Missing email remains `None` at every layer. The code never uses an
empty string as a substitute.
- The app-server response includes `"email": null` instead of omitting
the field. Clients retain a stable response shape.
- Plan type remains required for provider account state. This change
relaxes only the email assumption.
## Testing
Tests: affected test targets compile, scoped Clippy and formatting pass,
a focused TUI snapshot covers plan-only account status, real
before/after PAT login smoke covers metadata without email, app-server
smoke covers `account/read` with `email: null`, and a regression smoke
covers an existing email-bearing PAT. Unit tests run in CI.
## Evidence
Visual smoke evidence will be attached here.
## Why
`account/read` currently reports only `type: "amazonBedrock"`, so
clients cannot distinguish a Codex-managed Bedrock API key from
credentials supplied by AWS. The app UI needs that distinction to render
the appropriate account state without duplicating provider-auth logic.
Credential-source selection belongs to the Bedrock model provider
because it already owns the precedence between managed Bedrock auth and
the external AWS credential path. This builds on #27443 and #27689.
## What changed
- Added `AmazonBedrockCredentialSource` with `codexManaged` and
`awsManaged` values.
- Included the selected credential source in
`ProviderAccount::AmazonBedrock` and the app-server `Account` response.
- Made `AmazonBedrockModelProvider::account_state()` classify the source
from its managed-auth state.
- Regenerated the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Updated app-server account documentation and downstream TUI matches.
`codexManaged` means the provider found a managed Bedrock API key.
`awsManaged` identifies the provider's external AWS credential path; it
does not assert that the AWS credential chain has been validated.
## Testing
- Added model-provider coverage for Codex-managed precedence and
AWS-managed fallback.
- Added app-server protocol serialization coverage for both wire values.
- Added app-server integration coverage for both `account/read`
responses.
- `just test -p codex-protocol -p codex-model-provider -p
codex-app-server-protocol` (497 tests passed).
After rebasing onto #27711, the `codex-app-server` test target compiled
past the image-generation `PathUri` migration. Local linking was then
interrupted by disk exhaustion (`No space left on device`).
## Why
Windows Credential Manager limits generic credential blobs to 2,560
bytes. Large serialized ChatGPT auth payloads can exceed that limit, so
keyring-mode CLI auth needs a backend that keeps only the encryption key
in the OS keyring and stores the payload in Codex's encrypted
local-secrets file.
This is the third PR in the encrypted-auth stack:
1. #27504 — feature and config selection
2. #27535 — auth-specific local-secrets namespaces
3. This PR — CLI auth implementation and activation
4. MCP OAuth implementation and activation
## What Changed
- Added encrypted CLI-auth storage using the `CliAuth` secrets
namespace.
- Preserved direct keyring storage for platforms/configurations where it
remains selected.
- Selected the backend consistently for login, logout, refresh,
device-code login, auth loading, and login restrictions.
- Threaded resolved bootstrap/full config through CLI, exec, TUI,
app-server account handling, cloud config, and cloud tasks.
- Removed stale `auth.json` fallback data after successful encrypted
saves and removed encrypted, direct-keyring, and fallback data during
logout.
- Added storage and integration coverage for both direct and encrypted
keyring modes.
MCP OAuth persistence is intentionally left to the next PR.

This PR brought to you via VS Code rather than Codex...
- opened `codex-rs/app-server/tests/common/mcp_process.rs`
- put the cursor on `McpServer`
- hit `F2` and renamed the symbol to `TestAppServer`
- went to the file tree
- hit enter and renamed `mcp_process.rs` to `test_app_server.rs`
- ran **Save All Files** from the Command Palette
- ran `just fmt`
The End
(Admittedly, most of the local variables for `TestAppServer` are still
named `mcp`, though.)
## Summary
Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.
## Details
- Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
- Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
generated TypeScript.
- Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core
protocol types.
- Regenerates app-server schema fixtures.

## Summary
This change lets `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` accept multiple workspace
IDs instead of a single value.
It keeps the existing config key name, adds backward-compatible parsing
for a single string in `config.toml`, and normalizes the setting into an
allowed workspace list across login enforcement, app-server config
surfaces, and local ChatGPT auth helpers.
## Why
Workspace-restricted deployments may need to allow more than one ChatGPT
workspace without dropping the guardrail entirely.
## Server-side impact
Codex's local server and app-server protocol needed changes because they
previously assumed a single workspace ID. The local login flow now
matches the auth backend interface by sending the allowed workspace list
as a single comma-separated `allowed_workspace_id` query parameter.
## Validation
This was tested with:
- A single workspace config
- With multi-workspace configs
- With multiple workspaces in the config
- The user only being a part of a subset of them
All were successful.
Automated coverage:
- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui local_chatgpt_auth`
- `cargo test --locked -p codex-app-server
login_account_chatgpt_includes_forced_workspace_allowlist_query_param`
Right now, if Codex winds up in a state with auth but it can't refresh
the token, the user is left with an unhelpful message that says to log
out and log back in again.
Ultimately, we should prevent that from happening but if it does,
returning None will allow the caller to redirect the user back to the
login page
## Why
AWS/Bedrock mode currently reports `account: null` with
`requiresOpenaiAuth: false` from `account/read`. That suppresses the
OpenAI-auth requirement, but it does not let app clients distinguish AWS
auth from any other non-OpenAI custom provider. For the prototype AWS
provider UX, clients need a simple provider-derived signal so they can
suppress ChatGPT/API-key login and token-refresh paths without
hardcoding Bedrock checks.
## What changed
- Adds an `aws` variant to the v2 `Account` protocol union.
- Adds `ProviderAccountKind` to `codex-model-provider` so the runtime
provider owns the app-visible account classification.
- Makes Amazon Bedrock return `ProviderAccountKind::Aws` from the
model-provider layer.
- Updates app-server `account/read` to map `ProviderAccountKind` to the
existing `GetAccountResponse` wire shape.
- Preserves the existing `account: null, requiresOpenaiAuth: false`
behavior for other non-OpenAI providers.
- Regenerates the app-server protocol schema fixtures.
- Adds coverage for provider account classification and for the Amazon
Bedrock `account/read` response.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-model-provider`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server get_account_with_aws_provider`
## Notes
I attempted `just bazel-lock-update` and `just bazel-lock-check`, but
both are blocked in my local environment because `bazel` is not
installed.
## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
## Summary
- Replace the manual `/notify-owner` flow with an inline confirmation
prompt when a usage-based workspace member hits a credits-depleted
limit.
- Fetch the current workspace role from the live ChatGPT
`accounts/check/v4-2023-04-27` endpoint so owner/member behavior matches
the desktop and web clients.
- Keep owner, member, and spend-cap messaging distinct so we only offer
the owner nudge when the workspace is actually out of credits.
## What Changed
- `backend-client`
- Added a typed fetch for the current account role from
`accounts/check`.
- Mapped backend role values into a Rust workspace-role enum.
- `app-server` and protocol
- Added `workspaceRole` to `account/read` and `account/updated`.
- Derived `isWorkspaceOwner` from the live role, with a fallback to the
cached token claim when the role fetch is unavailable.
- `tui`
- Removed the explicit `/notify-owner` slash command.
- When a member is blocked because the workspace is out of credits, the
error now prompts:
- `Your workspace is out of credits. Request more from your workspace
owner? [y/N]`
- Choosing `y` sends the existing owner-notification request.
- Choosing `n`, pressing `Esc`, or accepting the default selection
dismisses the prompt without sending anything.
- Selection popups now honor explicit item shortcuts, which is how the
`y` / `n` interaction is wired.
## Reviewer Notes
- The main behavior change is scoped to usage-based workspace members
whose workspace credits are depleted.
- Spend-cap reached should not show the owner-notification prompt.
- Owners and admins should continue to see `/usage` guidance instead of
the member prompt.
- The live role fetch is best-effort; if it fails, we fall back to the
existing token-derived ownership signal.
## Testing
- Manual verification
- Workspace owner does not see the member prompt.
- Workspace member with depleted credits sees the confirmation prompt
and can send the nudge with `y`.
- Workspace member with spend cap reached does not see the
owner-notification prompt.

## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
## Problem
App-server clients could only initiate ChatGPT login through the browser
callback flow, even though the shared login crate already supports
device-code auth. That left VS Code, Codex App, and other app-server
clients without a first-class way to use the existing device-code
backend when browser redirects are brittle or when the client UX wants
to own the login ceremony.
## Mental model
This change adds a second ChatGPT login start path to app-server:
clients can now call `account/login/start` with `type:
"chatgptDeviceCode"`. App-server immediately returns a `loginId` plus
the device-code UX payload (`verificationUrl` and `userCode`), then
completes the login asynchronously in the background using the existing
`codex_login` polling flow. Successful device-code login still resolves
to ordinary `chatgpt` auth, and completion continues to flow through the
existing `account/login/completed` and `account/updated` notifications.
## Non-goals
This does not introduce a new auth mode, a new account shape, or a
device-code eligibility discovery API. It also does not add automatic
fallback to browser login in core; clients remain responsible for
choosing when to request device code and whether to retry with a
different UX if the backend/admin policy rejects it.
## Tradeoffs
We intentionally keep `login_chatgpt_common` as a local validation
helper instead of turning it into a capability probe. Device-code
eligibility is checked by actually calling `request_device_code`, which
means policy-disabled cases surface as an immediate request error rather
than an async completion event. We also keep the active-login state
machine minimal: browser and device-code logins share the same public
cancel contract, but device-code cancellation is implemented with a
local cancel token rather than a larger cross-crate refactor.
## Architecture
The protocol grows a new `chatgptDeviceCode` request/response variant in
app-server v2. On the server side, the new handler reuses the existing
ChatGPT login precondition checks, calls `request_device_code`, returns
the device-code payload, and then spawns a background task that waits on
either cancellation or `complete_device_code_login`. On success, it
reuses the existing auth reload and cloud-requirements refresh path
before emitting `account/login/completed` success and `account/updated`.
On failure or cancellation, it emits only `account/login/completed`
failure. The existing `account/login/cancel { loginId }` contract
remains unchanged and now works for both browser and device-code
attempts.
## Tests
Added protocol serialization coverage for the new request/response
variant, plus app-server tests for device-code success, failure, cancel,
and start-time rejection behavior. Existing browser ChatGPT login
coverage remains in place to show that the callback-based flow is
unchanged.
## What changed
- The auth/account/fuzzy-file-search test configs disable unrelated
`shell_snapshot` setup.
- The fuzzy-file-search fixture set was reduced so the stop-updates test
does less incidental work before reaching the assertion.
## Why this fixes the flake
- These failures were caused by cumulative timeout pressure, not by a
missing product-level delay.
- The old tests were paying for shell snapshot initialization and extra
fixture volume that were not part of the behavior being validated.
- Removing that incidental work keeps the same coverage but shortens the
critical path enough that the tests finish comfortably inside the
existing timeout budget, which is the right fix versus simply extending
the timeout.
## Scope
- Test-only change.
This change fixes a Codex app account-state sync bug where clients could
know the user was signed in but still miss the ChatGPT subscription
tier, which could lead to incorrect upgrade messaging for paid users.
The root cause was that `account/updated` only carried `authMode` while
plan information was available separately via `account/read` and
rate-limit snapshots, so this update adds `planType` to
`account/updated`, populates it consistently across login and refresh
paths.
Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13007 and
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12170
There are situations where the ChatGPT auth backend might return a JWT
that contains no plan information. Most code paths already handle this
case well, but the internal implementation of the "account/read" app
server call was failing in this case (returning an error rather than
properly returning None for the plan).
This resulted in a situation where users needed to log in every time the
extension or app started even if they successfully logged in the last
time.
Summary
- allow ChatGPT-authenticated accounts to fall back to
`AccountPlanType::Unknown` when the token omits the plan claim
- add regression coverage in `app-server/tests/suite/v2/account.rs` to
confirm `account/read` returns `plan_type: Unknown` when the claim is
absent
- ensure the Rust auth helpers and fixtures treat missing plan claims as
Optional and default to `Unknown`
…ount_id and chatgpt_plan_type
### Summary
Following up on external auth mode which was introduced here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10012
Turns out some clients have a differently shaped ID token and don't have
a chosen workspace (aka chatgpt_account_id) encoded in their ID token.
So, let's replace `id_token` param with `chatgpt_account_id` and
`chatgpt_plan_type` (optional) when initializing the external ChatGPT
auth mode (`account/login/start` with `chatgptAuthTokens`).
The client was able to test end-to-end with a Codex build from this
branch and verified it worked!
This enables a new use case where `codex app-server` is embedded into a
parent application that will directly own the user's ChatGPT auth
lifecycle, which means it owns the user’s auth tokens and refreshes it
when necessary. The parent application would just want a way to pass in
the auth tokens for codex to use directly.
The idea is that we are introducing a new "auth mode" currently only
exposed via app server: **`chatgptAuthTokens`** which consist of the
`id_token` (stores account metadata) and `access_token` (the bearer
token used directly for backend API calls). These auth tokens are only
stored in-memory. This new mode is in addition to the existing `apiKey`
and `chatgpt` auth modes.
This PR reuses the shape of our existing app-server account APIs as much
as possible:
- Update `account/login/start` with a new `chatgptAuthTokens` variant,
which will allow the client to pass in the tokens and have codex
app-server use them directly. Upon success, the server emits
`account/login/completed` and `account/updated` notifications.
- A new server->client request called
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` which the server can use whenever
the access token previously passed in has expired and it needs a new one
from the parent application.
I leveraged the core 401 retry loop which typically triggers auth token
refreshes automatically, but made it pluggable:
- **chatgpt** mode refreshes internally, as usual.
- **chatgptAuthTokens** mode calls the client via
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`, the client responds with updated
tokens, codex updates its in-memory auth, then retries. This RPC has a
10s timeout and handles JSON-RPC errors from the client.
Also some additional things:
- chatgpt logins are blocked while external auth is active (have to log
out first. typically clients will pick one OR the other, not support
both)
- `account/logout` clears external auth in memory
- Ensures that if `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` is set via the user's
config, we respect it in both:
- `account/login/start` with `chatgptAuthTokens` (returns a JSON-RPC
error back to the client)
- `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` (fails the turn, and on next
request app-server will send another `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`
request to the client).
Our previous design of cancellation endpoint is not idempotent, which
caused a bunch of flaky tests. Make app server just returned a not_found
status instead of throwing an error if the login id is not found. Keep
V1 endpoint behavior the same.
This PR does two things:
1. add a new function in core that maps the core-internal plan type to
the external plan type;
2. implement account/read that get account status (v2 of
`getAuthStatus`).
This PR implements `account/login/start` and `account/login/completed`.
Instead of having separate endpoints for login with chatgpt and api, we
have a single enum handling different login methods. For sync auth
methods like sign in with api key, we still send a `completed`
notification back to be compatible with the async login flow.
V2 for `account/updated` and `account/logout` for app server. correspond
to old `authStatusChange` and `LogoutChatGpt` respectively. Followup PRs
will make other v2 endpoints call `account/updated` instead of
`authStatusChange` too.
