## Description
This PR cuts Codex over from generic `ResponseItem.metadata` (introduced
here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355) to
`ResponseItem.internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough`, which is the
blessed path and has strongly-typed keys.
For now we have to drop this MAv2 usage of `metadata`:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28561 until we figure out where
that should live.
## Why
`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.
This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.
## What changed
- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.
The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.
## Test plan
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-core -p codex-api -p codex-rollout-trace
-p codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-api -p codex-rollout-trace -p
codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-core event_mapping`
The workspace denies `clippy::expect_used` in production. Although
`clippy.toml` allows `expect` in tests, Bazel Clippy compiles
integration-test helper code in a way that does not receive that
exemption, which encouraged verbose `unwrap_or_else(... panic!(...))`
and equivalent `match`/`let else` forms.
This allows `clippy::expect_used` once at each integration-test crate
root (including aggregated suites and test-support libraries), then
replaces manual panic-based Result and Option unwraps with
`expect`/`expect_err`. Standalone `tests/*.rs` files remain their own
crate roots. Intentional assertion and unexpected-variant panics remain
unchanged, and the production `expect_used = "deny"` lint remains in
place.
The cleanup is mechanical and net-negative in line count.
## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Why
Remote compaction v2 is ready to become the default for providers that
already support remote compaction. Leaving it behind an
under-development opt-in keeps eligible sessions on the legacy
remote-compaction path.
This does not broaden provider eligibility: OpenAI and Azure move to v2,
while Bedrock and OSS providers retain their existing local-compaction
behavior.
## What changed
- Mark `remote_compaction_v2` stable and enable it by default.
- Make tests that intentionally cover legacy remote compaction
explicitly disable v2.
- Update parity coverage so v2 exercises the production default and only
legacy mode opts out.

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.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-protocol`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
- Add `request_kind` values for foreground turn, startup prewarm,
compaction, and detached memory model requests.
- Attach compaction dispatch metadata to local Responses, legacy
`/v1/responses/compact`, and remote v2 compact requests.
- Add the existing logical context-window identifier as `window_id` on
turn-owned model request metadata.
- Keep identity fields optional for detached memory requests, while
still emitting `request_kind="memory"` in non-git/no-sandbox workspaces.
## Root Cause
`x-codex-turn-metadata` has more than one producer. Foreground turns and
compaction requests own a real turn and should carry that turn identity.
Detached memory stage-one requests do not own a foreground turn, so
absent identity fields are valid rather than missing data. Startup
websocket prewarm is also a model request, but it has `generate=false`
and must not be counted as a foreground turn.
`thread_source` or session source identifies where a thread came from
(for example review, guardian, or another subagent). `request_kind`
identifies what the current outbound model request is doing (`turn`,
`prewarm`, `compaction`, or `memory`). A review or guardian thread can
issue either a normal turn request or a compaction request, so source
cannot replace request kind.
## Behavior / Impact
- Ordinary foreground requests send `request_kind="turn"`, their real
identity fields, and `window_id="<thread_id>:<window_generation>"`.
- Startup websocket warmup requests send `request_kind="prewarm"` so
they are not counted as foreground turns.
- Compaction requests send `request_kind="compaction"`, their real
owning turn identity, the existing `window_id`, and
`compaction.{trigger,reason,implementation,phase,strategy}`.
- Detached memory stage-one requests send `request_kind="memory"`
without `session_id`, `thread_id`, `turn_id`, or `window_id`; when no
workspace metadata exists, the kind-only header is still emitted.
- `session_id`, `thread_id`, `turn_id`, and `window_id` remain optional
in the header schema because detached memory requests do not own a
foreground turn or context window.
- `window_id` is not a new ID system: it is copied from the already-sent
`x-codex-window-id` / WS client metadata value at model-request dispatch
time.
- Existing `x-codex-window-id` HTTP/WS emission, value format,
generation advancement, resume behavior, and fork reset behavior are
unchanged.
- `request_kind`, `window_id`, and upstream turn-owned identity fields
remain schema-owned; input `responsesapi_client_metadata` cannot replace
their canonical values.
- No table, DAG, export, app-server API, or MCP `_meta` schema changes
are included.
A compaction attempt stopped by a pre-compact hook issues no model
request and therefore has no request header; its outcome remains in
analytics events. Status, error, duration, and token deltas also remain
analytics fields rather than request-header fields.
Future detached-memory attribution using a real initiating turn ID as
`trigger_turn_id` is intentionally not part of this PR.
## Sync With Main
- Final pushed head `716342e79` is rebased onto `origin/main@0d37db4b2`.
- The metadata conflict came from upstream `#24160`, which added
`forked_from_thread_id` on the same `turn_metadata` surface. Resolution
preserves that field and its protection from client metadata override
alongside this PR's request-kind, compaction, and window-id fields.
- While resolving the overlapping commits, I removed an accidental
recursive model-request overlay and a duplicate detached-memory header
builder before completing the rebase.
## Latency / User Experience Boundary
- Foreground turns perform no new filesystem, git, or network work. New
fields are inserted into metadata already serialized for outgoing
requests.
- Compaction issues the same model/HTTP requests with the same prompt,
model, service tier, and sampling settings; only metadata bytes change.
- Startup prewarm already sent metadata; it is now correctly classified
as `prewarm`.
- Non-git detached memory now sends a small kind-only metadata header
rather than no header.
- This client diff adds no user-visible latency mechanism beyond
negligible serialization and header bytes on already-existing requests.

## 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.
We regularly get bug reports from users who mistakenly have the
`OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable set. This PR deprecates this
environment variable in favor of a top-level config key
`openai_base_url` that is used for the same purpose. By making it a
config key, it will be more visible to users. It will also participate
in all of the infrastructure we've added for layered and managed
configs.
Summary
- introduce the `openai_base_url` top-level config key, update
schema/tests, and route the built-in openai provider through it while
- fall back to deprecated `OPENAI_BASE_URL` env var but warn user of
deprecation when no `openai_base_url` config key is present
- update CLI, SDK, and TUI code to prefer the new config path (with a
deprecated env-var fallback) and document the SDK behavior change
- add `thread/compact` as a trigger-only v2 RPC that submits
`Op::Compact` and returns `{}` immediately.
- add v2 compaction e2e coverage for success and invalid/unknown thread
ids, and update protocol schemas/docs.
### What
add wiring for `phase` field on `ResponseItem::Message` to lay
groundwork for differentiating model preambles and final messages.
currently optional.
follows pattern in #9698.
updated schemas with `just write-app-server-schema` so we can see type
changes.
### Tests
Updated existing tests for SSE parsing and hydrating from history
