## Summary
- add a false-by-default `include_skills_usage_instructions` model
metadata field
- enable the field for the bundled `gpt-5.5` model metadata
- consume the metadata in both core and extension skill rendering
- remove hardcoded legacy-model matching and its marker plumbing
## Summary
- enable the remote plugin feature by default
- promote the remote plugin feature from under development to stable
- preserve the existing `features.remote_plugin` override for explicitly
disabling it
- keep legacy disabled-path coverage explicit in TUI and app-server
tests
## Impact
Remote plugin functionality is enabled by default for configurations
that do not set the feature flag. The existing Codex backend
authentication gate still applies.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-tui
plugins_popup_remote_section_fallback_states_snapshot`
- targeted `codex-app-server` plugin-list and skills-list tests
- `git diff --check`
The full TUI and app-server suites were also exercised locally. All
remote-plugin-related coverage passed; unrelated local
sandbox/test-binary failures remain outside this change.
## Why
App-server clients that configure named execution environments need to
discover an environment's shell and working directory before selecting
it for a thread or turn. Because the environment can run on a different
operating system than app-server, its working directory is represented
as a canonical `file:` URI rather than a host-local path string. The
probe also needs a bounded response time: an exec-server that completes
initialization but never answers `environment/info` must not hold the
environment serialization queue indefinitely.
## What changed
- Add an experimental `environment/info` app-server RPC for named
environments.
- Route the probe through the managed environment connection and return
target-native shell metadata plus the default working directory as a
`PathUri`.
- Return connection and protocol failures as JSON-RPC errors.
- Bound the exec-server probe response to 30 seconds and remove
timed-out calls from the pending-request table so later environment
mutations can proceed.
- Cover successful responses, omitted working directories, unknown
environments, connection failures, and pending-call cleanup.
## Protocol examples
Request:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"method": "environment/info",
"params": {
"environmentId": "remote-a"
}
}
```
Successful response:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"result": {
"shell": {
"name": "zsh",
"path": "/bin/zsh"
},
"cwd": "file:///workspace"
}
}
```
If the exec-server initializes but does not answer the probe within 30
seconds:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"error": {
"code": -32603,
"message": "failed to get info for environment `remote-a`: exec-server protocol error: timed out waiting for exec-server `environment/info` response after 30s"
}
}
```
## Testing
- App-server integration coverage for successful info (including omitted
`cwd`), unknown environments, and connection failures.
- Exec-server RPC coverage verifying a timed-out call is removed from
the pending-request table.

## Why
`LOG_FORMAT=json` and `RUST_LOG` are supported by app-server, but the
behavior was only covered indirectly. We should verify the actual JSONL
written by both user-facing entry points: `codex app-server` and the
standalone `codex-app-server` binary.
The existing processor shutdown message also always said the channel
closed, even though the processor can exit for several different
reasons. Structured fields make that event more accurate and useful to
log consumers.
## What changed
- Record the processor `exit_reason`, remaining connection count, and
forced-shutdown state as structured tracing fields.
- Add a shared process-test helper that enables JSON logging, validates
every stderr line as JSON, and verifies the top-level timestamp is RFC
3339.
- Cover both `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`, asserting the
stable `level`, `fields`, and `target` payload.
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-app-server
standalone_app_server_emits_json_info_events`
- `just test -p codex-cli app_server_emits_json_info_events`
## Description
This adds stable optional `turnId` support to `thread/fork`. When
supplied, the fork copies persisted history through that terminal turn,
inclusive, and drops later turns from the new thread.
Omitting or passing `null` preserves the existing full-history fork
behavior, including the interruption marker when the stored source
history ends mid-turn.
## Why
We're deprecating `thread/rollback` and this will help certain UX use
cases work around it by using `thread/fork` + `turn_id` instead.
## Why
Admins need persistent defaults for the model, reasoning effort, and
service tier shown when the Desktop App creates a new thread. These are
initialization defaults rather than runtime constraints: the App should
use them to initialize its draft while still allowing a user to make an
explicit selection.
The app-server therefore needs to expose the managed values before
thread creation without changing `thread/start` behavior for other
clients.
## What changed
- Parse `model`, `model_reasoning_effort`, and `service_tier` from
`[models.new_thread]` in `requirements.toml`.
- Compose the `models` requirements through the existing
requirements-layer precedence rules.
- Expose the resolved values through `configRequirements/read` as
`requirements.models.newThread`.
- Add the corresponding app-server protocol types and regenerate the
JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
- Document the new `configRequirements/read` fields in the app-server
README.
## Scope
This PR is data plumbing only. It does not apply these values during
`thread/start` and does not change thread creation for existing
app-server clients, resumed or forked sessions, internal or subagent
sessions, `codex exec`, or the TUI. A companion Desktop App change owns
draft initialization, sends the effective settings for ordinary and
prewarmed starts, and preserves explicit user changes.
## Validation
- Requirements deserialization coverage for `[models.new_thread]`
- Requirements-layer precedence coverage
- App-server API mapping coverage
- `configRequirements/read` integration coverage
- Regenerated app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
## Why
The selected-capability integration test already covers initial
attachment and cold resume, but it resumes while the selected executor
is still reachable.
That leaves an important World State transition untested: a thread
remembers its selected capability root, resumes while that environment
is unavailable, and later sees the same stable environment return.
## What this tests
This extends the existing end-to-end scenario:
```text
selected executor available
↓
app-server stops and the executor goes away
↓
thread resumes with the executor unavailable
↓
skills, selected MCP tools, and connector attribution are absent
↓
the same environment ID is attached again
↓
skills, MCP tools, and connector attribution return
```
The test also checks that the unavailable snapshot explicitly tells the
model that no selected-environment skills are currently available. After
reattachment, it invokes the selected skill again and verifies that a
new executor-owned MCP process starts.
## Scope
This is test-only. It keeps the existing assumption that an environment
ID refers to stable capability contents. It does not add package-file
invalidation or live transport reconnect behavior.
## Why
This stack crosses World State, executor skills, selected plugin
metadata, MCP processes, connectors, dynamic environments, and resume.
This PR adds two end-to-end scenarios that validate those pieces
together.
Both tests enable `deferred_executor`, so they exercise the real
delayed-environment path.
## Scenario 1: availability across turns and resume
```text
1. Start a thread with one selected plugin root bound to E1.
2. E1 is unavailable.
- executor skill is absent
- selected MCP is absent
- connector has no selected-plugin attribution
3. Start E1 and register the same stable environment ID.
4. Start a new turn.
- the executor skill appears through World State
- its body beats a colliding host skill
- the selected MCP tool is advertised and executes inside E1
- the connector is attributed to the selected plugin
5. Start another turn without changing E1.
- the MCP PID stays the same, proving runtime reuse
6. Restart app-server and resume the thread.
- durable selected-root intent is restored
- skills, MCP, and connector attribution are restored
- a new MCP PID proves ephemeral process state was rebuilt
```
## Scenario 2: availability changes inside one turn
```text
1. Start a turn while E1 is unavailable.
2. The first model sample sees no executor skill, MCP, or selected connector.
3. The turn pauses on request_user_input.
4. Start E1 and register it while that same turn is still active.
5. Continue the turn.
6. The very next model sample sees:
- the executor skill catalog
- the selected MCP tool
- selected-plugin connector attribution
7. The model calls the MCP, and its output proves execution happened inside E1.
```
This second scenario specifically protects the aeon-style behavior:
capability state is captured again for every sampling step, not only at
the next user turn.
## Scope
These are integration tests only. They do not add a combinatorial matrix
for unsupported plugin-file mutation, environment generations, transport
disconnects, or delayed `required = true` executor MCPs.
## Why
MCP tool-call events need to expose trusted app identity and action
metadata directly so v2 clients do not have to infer it from tool names
or resource URIs.
## What changed
- Add optional `appName`, `templateId`, and `actionName` fields to MCP
tool-call `appContext`.
- Populate `appName` and `templateId` from trusted Codex Apps metadata,
and derive `actionName` from the trusted app resource metadata.
- Preserve all three fields through core events, legacy protocol events,
persisted thread history, resume redaction, and app-server v2 responses.
- Document the public `appContext` fields in
`codex-rs/app-server/README.md`.
- Regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas and add coverage for
serialization, persistence, redaction, and metadata propagation.

## Why
An MCP tool call can still be waiting for an elicitation response when
an environment update replaces the thread's MCP runtime.
Before this change:
```text
runtime A starts a tool call and asks the user
environment becomes ready, so runtime B is published
client answers the prompt through runtime B
runtime B cannot find runtime A's pending responder
```
The response is lost and the original tool call stays blocked.
## What changed
All MCP runtimes for one thread now share a small elicitation router:
```text
runtime A ---\
shared router: response token -> exact pending responder
runtime B ---/
```
When Codex surfaces an MCP elicitation, it assigns a unique opaque
response token. The router records which pending request owns that
token. A replacement runtime reuses the same router, so the latest
runtime can deliver a response to a request started by the previous
runtime.
The Codex-owned token also prevents two runtime connections that reuse
the same MCP server request ID from receiving each other's responses.
This does not retain or search old MCP managers. Only the pending
responder map is shared.
## Covered scenario
The integration test exercises the complete failure mode:
1. A thread starts while its selected environment is still unavailable.
2. A configured MCP server starts a tool call and asks the client for
input.
3. The environment becomes ready, causing Codex to publish a replacement
MCP runtime.
4. The client answers the original prompt after the replacement.
5. The original tool call receives that answer and completes.
A focused routing test also creates two runtimes with the same server
request ID and verifies that each response reaches the exact request
that emitted its token.
## Scope
This PR changes only elicitation response routing across MCP runtime
replacement. It does not change when runtimes are rebuilt, which
environments contribute MCP configuration, or how environment
availability is detected.
## Why
Desktop Work threads and regular Codex threads can share the same
app-server connection. App-server analytics currently copy
`product_client_id` from connection metadata for every thread-scoped
event, so Work thread activity is attributed to the Desktop connection
instead of the thread's resolved originator. This prevents analytics
from distinguishing the two products on a shared connection.
## What changed
- Publish the resolved originator after a thread is materialized,
covering new, resumed, forked, and subagent threads.
- Store that originator in the analytics reducer's existing per-thread
state.
- Override only `app_server_client.product_client_id` for thread, turn,
tool, review, goal, guardian, and compaction events while preserving the
connection's client name, version, and transport metadata.
- Fall back to the connection-wide product client ID when a thread has
no originator override.
- Preserve persisted originators in thread initialization analytics for
resume and fork flows.
## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core thread_manager`
## Why
Selected plugin metadata is stable, but MCP processes are live runtime
state. They need different lifetimes:
- the MCP extension caches manifest, MCP, and connector declarations for
each stable selected root;
- each model step projects that cached metadata through the roots that
resolved as ready for that exact step;
- the MCP manager is rebuilt only when that availability projection
changes.
This matches executor skills: both features consume the same resolved
step roots instead of inferring readiness from the turn's selected
environments.
## Behavior
```text
E1 not ready for this step
-> no E1 MCP servers or connectors
-> cached plugin metadata stays in ext/mcp
E1 becomes ready
-> reuse cached metadata
-> publish one MCP runtime containing E1 capabilities
same ready roots on the next step
-> reuse the exact runtime; no rediscovery and no MCP restart
resume
-> create new extension thread state and a new MCP runtime
```
All model-facing consumers use the same step snapshot:
```text
resolved selected roots
|
v
extension MCP/connector projection
|
v
{ MCP config, connector snapshot, MCP manager }
|
+-> advertise model tools
+-> build app/connector tools
+-> execute MCP calls
```
## Cache contract
The existing MCP extension owns a cache keyed by the full
`SelectedCapabilityRoot`:
```rust
let state = thread_store.get_or_init(SelectedExecutorPluginMcpState::default);
```
The cache lives with extension thread state. Environment availability
filters projection but does not invalidate metadata. Resume creates new
thread state. There is no file watcher or executor generation because
contents behind a stable environment/root are assumed stable.
## What changes
- Keeps executor plugin discovery and cached metadata in `ext/mcp`.
- Caches MCP and connector declarations together per selected root.
- Uses the step's already-resolved capability roots, including lazy
environments that are not turn environments.
- Reuses the current MCP runtime when the ready-root projection is
unchanged.
- Uses the same step MCP manager and connector snapshot for
model-visible tools and execution.
- Resolves direct thread-scoped MCP requests from the current
selected-root projection.
## Deliberately out of scope
- `app/list` remains based on the latest global host-plugin state; this
PR does not make its response or notifications thread-specific.
- `required = true` startup semantics do not apply to delayed executor
MCP activation.
- No filesystem/content invalidation.
- No transport-disconnect watcher.
- No executor generations or environment replacement semantics.
- No client sharing across complete manager replacements.
## Stack
1. Extension-owned World State sections.
2. Project executor skills through World State.
3. Pin one MCP runtime to each model step.
4. **This PR:** project selected MCP and connector state from
extension-owned metadata.
5. Integration coverage for selected capability availability and resume.
## Verification
-
`selected_plugin_servers_use_managed_requirements_for_the_selected_root_id`
- The stacked integration PR covers unavailable to ready activation,
unchanged-runtime reuse, skills, MCP tools, connector attribution, and
cold resume.
## Summary
- distinguish expired, non-refreshable stored MCP OAuth credentials from
first-time missing credentials
- carry a typed `failureReason: "reauthenticationRequired"` on the
existing `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` notification only when user
action is required
- keep the public MCP auth-status API unchanged and regenerate the
app-server protocol schemas and documentation
## Why
An MCP server with an expired access token and no usable refresh token
currently fails startup without giving clients a reliable, typed
recovery signal.
The existing startup-status notification is the natural place to carry
this state. Its nullable `failureReason` keeps the recovery reason
attached to the failed startup transition without adding a one-off
notification. Internally, Codex distinguishes first-time login from
reauthentication and emits the reason only when the startup error itself
requires authentication.
## User impact
App clients can prompt an existing user to reconnect an MCP server when
automatic recovery is impossible by handling a failed
`mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` notification whose `failureReason` is
`reauthenticationRequired`. Starting, ready, cancelled, unrelated
failures, and first-time setup carry no reauthentication reason.

## Why
The TUI uses `thread/rollback` internally for user-facing flows such as
prompt cancellation/backtracking. After `thread/rollback` was marked
deprecated, those internal calls started surfacing `deprecationNotice`
messages in the TUI, even though the user did not explicitly call the
deprecated app-server API.
The endpoint should remain deprecated for external app-server clients,
but the built-in `codex-tui` client should not show this
implementation-detail warning during normal interaction.
## What changed
- Pass the initialized app-server client name into the `thread/rollback`
request processor.
- Suppress the `thread/rollback` deprecation notice only for
`codex-tui`.
- Preserve the existing `deprecationNotice` behavior for non-TUI
clients.
- Add regression coverage for the `codex-tui` suppression path.
## How to Test
1. Start Codex TUI from this branch.
2. Type text into the composer and press `Esc` to cancel/backtrack.
3. Confirm the TUI restores/cancels the prompt without showing
`thread/rollback is deprecated and will be removed soon`.
4. Also verify an external app-server client that calls
`thread/rollback` still receives `deprecationNotice`.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-app-server thread_rollback`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Summary
- make the external app-server time provider establish sleep deadlines
using `currentTime/read`
- poll the external clock once per second and complete `clock.sleep`
when the deadline is reached
- keep the system-clock timer and existing steer/agent-message
interruption behavior unchanged
## Why
This lets training control `clock.sleep` through its existing external
simulated clock without adding separate sleep/wake protocol methods.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
external_sleep_polls_current_time_and_emits_items`
## Why
Helper threads such as task title generation can request a model ID that
is valid for the default OpenAI provider but unavailable from the active
provider. With Amazon Bedrock, `gpt-5.4-mini` is rejected while the
provider static catalog exposes Bedrock model IDs such as
`openai.gpt-5.5` and `openai.gpt-5.4`. This causes repeated background
404s and can surface a misleading turn error even when the main turn
succeeds.
Clients need an explicit way to ask app-server to resolve an unavailable
helper model to the active provider default. That fallback must remain
limited to providers with an authoritative static catalog so custom or
dynamically discovered model IDs are not rewritten based on an
incomplete catalog.
Fixes#28741.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `allowProviderModelFallback` option to
`thread/start`, defaulting to `false` to preserve existing behavior.
- Thread the option through thread creation and model selection.
- When enabled for a static model manager, preserve requested models
present in the catalog and replace unavailable models with the provider
default.
- Continue preserving explicit model IDs for dynamic model managers
without fetching a catalog solely to validate them.
- Document the new `thread/start` behavior in the app-server API
overview.
## Test
Temporary test-client harness:
```
ThreadStartParams {
model: Some("gpt-5.4-mini".to_string()),
allow_provider_model_fallback: true,
..Default::default()
}
```

## Why
`selectedCapabilityRoots` is durable thread intent: “use this capability
root from environment `worker`.”
The important product assumption is:
> One environment ID always names the same logical executor and stable
contents.
`worker` does not silently change from executor A to an unrelated
executor B. The process-local connection handle for `worker` can still
be replaced while Codex is running, though, for example when
`environment/add` registers a fresh handle for the same logical
environment.
The thread should persist only the stable selection. Each model step
should pair that selection with the exact ready handle captured for that
step.
## The boundary
```text
persisted thread intent
plugin@1 -> environment "worker"
|
| capture the current step
v
model-step view
unavailable, or
plugin@1 + worker's exact captured ready handle
```
The environment ID is the stable identity and cache key. The
`Arc<Environment>` is only a process-local handle retained so consumers
of one model step use the same captured environment. It is never
persisted and it does not imply different environment contents.
## What changes
### Persist the stable selection
Selected roots are written into `SessionMeta` and restored with the
thread. Forked subagents inherit the same selections, including
bounded-history forks.
Only stable data is persisted: root ID, environment ID, and root path.
### Capture readiness together with the exact handle
The environment snapshot records:
```rust
environment_id -> Some(Arc<Environment>) // ready in this step
environment_id -> None // still starting in this step
```
This prevents readiness and execution from coming from different
registry snapshots.
For example:
```text
step snapshot: worker -> handle A, ready
environment/add: worker -> fresh handle B for the same logical environment
current step: plugin@1 still uses captured handle A
```
Without carrying handle A in the snapshot, the resolver could combine “A
was ready” with handle B and treat B as ready before it had finished
starting.
This does not change cache invalidation. Stable capability metadata
remains identified by environment ID and capability root. Replacing a
process-local handle under the same stable environment ID does not
invalidate or rediscover that metadata.
### Resolve availability per model step
- A ready captured environment produces resolved roots using its
captured handle.
- A starting, missing, or failed environment is omitted from that step.
- A selected lazy environment that is outside the turn's captured
environment set is asked to start, and a later step can observe it as
ready.
- No capability files are scanned here.
Transient transport disconnects remain the remote client's reconnect
concern. This PR models initial attachment/readiness; it does not add
live socket-connectivity state.
## Example
```text
thread selection: plugin@1 -> environment "worker"
step 1: worker is starting -> plugin@1 unavailable
step 2: worker is ready -> plugin@1 resolves through worker's captured handle
step 3: fresh local handle -> current step remains pinned; a later step captures its own view
```
Temporary unavailability does not discard the durable selection. Later
PRs can retain stable metadata caches while projecting only currently
available capabilities into model-visible World State.
## Compatibility
The app-server request shape does not change. Older rollouts without
`selected_capability_roots` deserialize to an empty list.
## Stack
1. **This PR:** persist stable selected roots and resolve them through
an exact model-step handle.
2. #29960: cache stable skill metadata and project available skills into
World State.
3. #29946: cache stable plugin declarations and manage the separate live
MCP runtime.
## Why
#28529 proves OAuth discovery uses the selected executor, but its
end-to-end test stops before the callback and token exchange.
## What changed
- add an executor-only mock token endpoint
- complete the OAuth callback using the authorization URL's `state` and
`redirect_uri`
- assert the PKCE token exchange reaches the executor-only endpoint
- assert the completion notification reports the selected thread and
succeeds
Depends on #28529.
## Why
#28522 routes selected-plugin HTTP MCP traffic through the owning
executor, but OAuth bootstrap and refresh still used host-local clients.
Executor-only servers therefore cannot complete discovery or login
through the same network boundary as the MCP connection.
## What changed
- adapt `codex_exec_server::HttpClient` to RMCP 1.8's `OAuthHttpClient`
contract
- let RMCP own discovery, dynamic registration, PKCE, token exchange,
and refresh
- route auth status, persisted-token startup, and app-server login
through the server runtime while preserving the existing local discovery
path
- add optional `threadId` to `mcpServer/oauth/login` and echo it in the
completion notification
- implement RMCP's redirect policy and 1 MiB OAuth response limit over
executor HTTP
- cover selected-thread OAuth discovery and login through an
executor-only route
Depends on #28522.
## Why
Selected executor plugins can declare both stdio and Streamable HTTP MCP
servers, but only stdio registrations were retained. That silently drops
part of the plugin's tool surface and prevents HTTP traffic from using
the owning executor's network.
## What changed
- retain selected-plugin Streamable HTTP MCP declarations alongside
stdio declarations
- route their HTTP clients through the owning executor environment
- preserve local auth-header environment references while rejecting them
for executor-hosted declarations
- cover thread isolation, refresh, and an executor-only HTTP route end
to end
## Why
Ultra should be one user-facing reasoning selection for work that
benefits from both maximum reasoning and proactive multi-agent
delegation. Without it, clients must coordinate maximum reasoning with
the experimental `multiAgentMode` setting, even though the inference
backend still expects its existing `max` effort value.
This change makes reasoning effort the source of truth: clients select
`ultra`, core derives proactive multi-agent behavior when the turn is
eligible for multi-agent V2, and inference requests continue to use the
backend-compatible `max` value.
## What changed
- Add `ultra` as a first-class reasoning effort and preserve
model-catalog ordering when exposing it to clients.
- Convert `ultra` to `max` at the inference request boundary, including
Responses HTTP/WebSocket requests, startup prewarm, compaction, and
memory summarization.
- Derive effective multi-agent mode per turn from effective reasoning
effort:
- eligible multi-agent V2 + `ultra` → `proactive`
- eligible multi-agent V2 + any other effort → `explicitRequestOnly`
- V1 or otherwise ineligible sessions → no multi-agent mode instruction
- Keep the derived effective mode in turn context history so successive
turns can emit a developer-message update only when the effective mode
changes.
- Remove selected multi-agent mode from core session configuration, turn
construction, thread settings, resume/fork restoration, and subagent
spawn plumbing. Subagents inherit reasoning effort and derive their own
effective mode.
- Retain the experimental app-server `multiAgentMode` fields for wire
compatibility while marking them deprecated. Request values are accepted
but ignored; compatibility response fields report `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Display Ultra in the TUI using the order supplied by `model/list`.
## Validation

- `just test -p codex-tui model_reasoning_selection_popup`
# What
- Carry installed remote release versions through remote plugin
summaries as `localVersion`.
- Keep the app-server mapping a pure adapter by populating that value in
the remote catalog layer.
# Why
Remote plugin summaries always returned `localVersion: null` even after
their versioned bundles had been installed locally. Consumers such as
scheduled-task template discovery use `localVersion` to resolve a
plugin's materialized root, so templates from remote curated plugins
were silently skipped.
## Summary
- move sleep tool enablement from top-level `[features].sleep_tool` to
`[features.current_time_reminder].sleep_tool`
- remove the standalone `Feature::SleepTool` flag and gate `clock.sleep`
from resolved current-time configuration
- update config schema, config-lock materialization, and existing sleep
coverage
Stacked on #29907.
## Summary
- expose the interruptible sleep tool as `clock.sleep` instead of
top-level `sleep`
- keep `clock.curr_time` and `clock.sleep` in the same model-visible
namespace when both features are enabled
- update existing core and app-server integration coverage to issue
namespaced sleep calls
## Why
Sleep is a clock operation. Grouping it with `clock.curr_time` gives the
model a more coherent tool surface without changing the sleep feature
gate or runtime behavior.

## Summary
- Add `iconAssets` and `iconDarkAssets` to the app-list protocol.
- Preserve structured icons through directory merging and the connector,
app-
server, and TUI boundaries.
- Keep legacy logo URLs unchanged as compatibility fallbacks.
- Update generated protocol schemas and TypeScript types.
## Why
`thread/list` can filter direct children with `parentThreadId`, but
clients cannot request an entire spawned subtree. Discovering every
descendant requires repeated client-side requests and gives up the
database's existing filtering and pagination path.
## What changed
Experimental clients can use `ancestorThreadId` to return strict
descendants at any depth while `parentThreadId` retains its direct-child
meaning. The filters are mutually exclusive, the ancestor is excluded,
and every result preserves its immediate `parentThreadId` so callers can
reconstruct the tree.
## How it works
- **Explicit relationship:** Internal list parameters distinguish direct
children from transitive descendants without changing the meaning of
`parentThreadId`.
- **Existing graph:** Persisted parent-child spawn edges remain the
source of truth, so descendant lookup needs no schema migration or
ancestry cache.
- **Indexed traversal:** A recursive SQLite query starts from the
parent-edge index, walks each generation, and applies thread filters,
sorting, and cursor pagination in the same database request.
- **Reconstructable results:** The response stays flat and normally
ordered while carrying each descendant's immediate parent.
## Verification
Ran 550 tests across the protocol, state, rollout, and thread-store
crates, then reran the four focused state, store, and app-server
descendant-listing tests after the final diff reduction. Scoped Clippy
and formatting checks passed. Stable and experimental schema generation
was checked; the stable fixtures remain unchanged while the experimental
schema includes the new field.
## Why
Topology-neutral app-server integration tests should exercise automatic
environment selection so the same setup covers local and remote
executors.
## What
Migrate eligible tests to `TestAppServer::new_with_auto_env()` and
`send_thread_start_request_with_auto_env()`. Leave explicit-topology
tests unchanged, and skip the request-permissions case on Windows with a
TODO for cross-platform tool routing.
## Validation

## Why
Made a mistake when carving #29746 out of my local changes and the test

## What
Enable the app-server Wine exec test target. Remove the `manual` tag
from generated Wine-exec test variants so wildcard Bazel test
invocations select them. Refactor the smoke test to ensure it passes
with current Windows support.
## Why
Authentication mode is a domain concept used by login, model selection,
telemetry, and transports. Keeping the canonical type in app-server
protocol forces those lower-level crates to depend on an unrelated wire
API.
## What changed
- Added canonical `codex_protocol::auth::AuthMode` domain values.
- Kept the app-server wire DTO unchanged and added an explicit app-side
conversion.
- Removed production app-server-protocol dependencies from login,
model-provider-info, models-manager, and otel call paths.
## Stack
This is PR 2 of 6, stacked on [PR
#29714](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29714). Review only the
delta from `codex/split-json-rpc-protocols`. Next: [PR
#29722](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29722).
## Validation
- Auth and login coverage passed in the focused protocol/domain test
run.
- App-server account and auth conversion coverage passed.
## Summary
- suppress configured `openai-curated` plugins when the remote plugin
feature is enabled and auth uses the Codex backend
- preserve `openai-api-curated` and non-Codex-backend behavior while
including remote catalog activation in the plugin load cache key
- add core plugin coverage and an app-server integration test for
runtime feature enablement
## Why
The Codex app enables remote plugins through process-local runtime
feature enablement, which can happen after app-server startup tasks have
already observed legacy local plugin state. The existing conflict logic
only preferred a remote plugin when the same plugin was already
installed remotely, so a configured legacy-only plugin could continue
exposing skills and other capabilities from `openai-curated`.
## Impact
When the remote catalog is active, legacy `openai-curated` plugins no
longer contribute skills, MCP servers, apps, or hooks. Remote installed
plugins continue to load normally, and `openai-api-curated` remains
unaffected. This does not change remote fetch, bundle sync, or uninstall
behavior.

## Why
Some extension hosts need generated images returned without writing them
to the local filesystem or giving the model a local path.
## What changed
**tl;dr**: we now conduct all extension operations in the image gen
extension
- Let hosts provide an optional image save root when installing the
extension.
- Save images and return path hints only when a save root is configured.
- Return image data without saving or adding a path hint when no save
root is configured.
- Preserve the extension-provided `saved_path` instead of persisting
extension images again in core.
- Leave built-in image generation unchanged.

- `just test -p codex-core tools::handlers::extension_tools::tests`
- tested on CODEX CLI on both save_root: CODEX_HOME and None
- tested on CODEX APP on both as well
## Why
Start moving towards app-server tests defaulting to running against
remote & foreign OS executors. To do so we need a point of indirection
similar to core integration tests' `build_with_auto_env`, but with the
flexibility of letting tests control environment registration if they
need to.
## What
This adds:
- `TestAppServer::new_with_auto_env()` for constructing an app server
with a default environment defined by the test runner (e.g. bazel)
- `TestAppServer::auto_env_params()` for tests to easily acquire turn
env params tailored to the automatic environment
- `TestAppServer::send_thread_start_request_with_auto_env()` to make it
easy for tests to start a thread using the automatic environment
The above methods all fail if the test calling them has set up an
environment where the automatic environment configuration conflicts with
test-created state.
## Validation
Adds a couple of basic smoke tests to the app-server test suite.
Follow-ups will migrate more tests to use it.
## Why
Work(TPP) threads can be launched from the Desktop app, but if they all
keep the Desktop app's default originator then downstream attribution
cannot distinguish local Work launches from cloud-backed Work launches.
`thread/start.serviceName` already carries that launch signal, while
`SessionMeta.originator` is the durable thread-level value that survives
resume and fork.
This change converts the Desktop Work service names into an effective
originator at thread creation time, persists that originator with the
thread, and keeps using it for later model requests and memory writes.
## What changed
- Map `CODEX_WORK_LOCAL` and `CODEX_WORK_CLOUD` service names to
per-thread originators, while preserving
`CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` as the highest-precedence override.
- Persist the effective originator in `SessionMeta.originator`, read it
back on resume/fork, and inherit the parent originator for subagent
spawns when there is no persisted session metadata.
- Handle truncated `SpawnAgentForkMode::LastNTurns` forks by falling
back to the live parent originator when the forked history no longer
includes `SessionMeta`.
- Thread the per-thread originator through Responses headers,
websocket/compaction request paths, thread-store creation, rollout
metadata, and memory stage-one telemetry.

## Why
Selected capability roots belong to the executor filesystem, not the
app-server host. Converting their path strings into the host's native
`Path` breaks whenever the two machines use different path conventions,
such as a Windows executor behind a Unix app-server.
This PR establishes `PathUri` as the selected-plugin boundary so the
executor remains authoritative for its paths.
## What changed
- Require `selectedCapabilityRoots[].location.path` to be a canonical
`file:` URI and deserialize it directly as `PathUri`; native path
strings are rejected.
- Update the app-server schema, generated TypeScript, examples, and
request coverage for the URI contract.
- Keep selected roots, resolved plugin locations, manifest paths, and
manifest resources as `PathUri`.
- Inspect and read plugin roots and manifests only through the selected
environment's `ExecutorFileSystem`.
- Parse executor manifests with the shared URI-native parser from #29620
instead of projecting them onto the host filesystem.
- Enforce resource containment lexically and preserve the root URI's
POSIX or Windows path convention.
- Cover foreign Windows plugin roots and URI-native manifest resources.
```text
thread/start
selectedCapabilityRoots[].location.path = "file:///C:/plugins/demo"
| PathUri
v
ExecutorFileSystem
|
+--> plugin.json
+--> manifest resources
```
This PR stops at the shared selected-plugin representation. The next two
PRs remove the remaining host-path projections in the skill and MCP
consumers.
## Stack
1. #29614 — add lexical `PathUri` containment.
2. #29620 — share URI-native manifest path resolution.
3. **This PR** — keep selected plugin roots and resources URI-native.
4. #29626 — load executor skills without host path conversion.
5. #29628 — resolve executor MCP working directories without host path
conversion.
## Why
PR #29494 made context-window IDs visible to the model by wrapping the
token-budget window payload in `<context_window>`, but rollout JSONL
consumers still could not see the initial window identity by tailing the
session file. Compacted rollout items carry window IDs only after
compaction has happened, so a session with no compaction had no durable
JSONL record for window 0.
This change gives tailing consumers a stable initial-window record at
session creation time.
## What Changed
- Added `session_meta.context_window.window_id` for the initial
context-window identity.
- `CreateThreadParams` now requires `initial_window_id: String`, so
thread-store callers cannot accidentally create new threads without
window-0 metadata.
- Live thread creation derives the persisted initial window ID from the
same `AutoCompactWindowIds` used to initialize `SessionState`, keeping
runtime state and JSONL metadata aligned.
- Rollout reconstruction uses `session_meta.context_window.window_id` as
the initial-window fallback and derives `window_number = 0`,
`first_window_id = window_id`, and `previous_window_id = None`
internally.
- Fork reconstruction intentionally uses the same rollout reconstruction
path; consumers that need to distinguish copied initial-window metadata
can use the rollout `thread_id`.
- Legacy compactions without `window_number` still use compaction-count
fallback accounting instead of being reset to window 0 by the
initial-window fallback.
- Compacted rollout metadata still takes precedence once compaction
records exist, preserving the richer chain fields there.
## JSONL Shape
Real rollout JSONL is one object per line. This example is expanded for
readability, but shows the new initial `session_meta.context_window`
record followed by the existing compacted rollout item shape that also
carries window IDs:
```jsonl
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"type": "session_meta",
"payload": {
"session_id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"cwd": "/repo",
"originator": "codex",
"cli_version": "0.0.0",
"source": "cli",
"model_provider": "<MODEL_PROVIDER>",
"context_window": {
"window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
}
...
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:34:56.000Z",
"type": "compacted",
"payload": {
"message": "<COMPACTION_SUMMARY>",
"replacement_history": [
"..."
],
"window_number": 1,
"first_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"previous_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"window_id": "<NEXT_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
```
The nested `context_window` object is intentional: it gives rollout
consumers a stable namespace for context-window metadata while only
writing the non-derivable initial `window_id`. For the initial window,
`window_number`, `first_window_id`, and `previous_window_id` are derived
internally instead of being written to the rollout.

## Why
Core tests should branch on the executor's operating system, not on
runner details such as Docker or Wine. This keeps platform behavior
stable as new test backends are added and reserves Wine-specific skips
for actual runner debt.
## What
- Add `TestTargetOs` and target/host-aware skip helpers while keeping
`TestEnvironment` internal.
- Replace topology enum access with remote predicates and a narrow
Docker accessor.
- Migrate OS-semantic Wine skips, preserve runner-specific gaps, and
document the skip taxonomy.

## Description
Rename the experimental app-server item pagination API from
`thread/turns/items/list` to `thread/items/list` and make `turnId`
optional. Clients can now page persisted items across a thread, or still
filter to one turn when needed.
## What changed
- Rename the request/response protocol types and JSON-RPC method to
`ThreadItemsList*` / `thread/items/list`.
- Pass optional `turnId` through to `ThreadStore::list_items`.
- Update app-server docs and focused protocol/app-server tests.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol thread_items_list_round_trips`
- `just test -p codex-app-server thread_items_list_returns_unsupported`
## Why
Plugin analytics overloaded `plugin_id`: most events used the Codex
`<plugin>@<marketplace>` identity, while remote install events used the
backend plugin ID. That makes the same field change meaning across event
types and complicates downstream identity resolution.
This change makes the contract unambiguous:
- `plugin_id`: the local Codex `<plugin>@<marketplace>` identity, when
resolved
- `remote_plugin_id`: the backend plugin identity, when available
For a remote install failure that happens before plugin details resolve,
`plugin_id` is `null` and `remote_plugin_id` remains populated.
## What changed
All six plugin analytics events use the same identity contract:
- `codex_plugin_installed`
- `codex_plugin_install_failed`
- `codex_plugin_uninstalled`
- `codex_plugin_enabled`
- `codex_plugin_disabled`
- `codex_plugin_used`
Remote identity is resolved from the current installed-plugin snapshot
first, with persisted install metadata as fallback. The telemetry
metadata type keeps local identity optional for failures that occur
before remote details are available.
The app-server test client's manual analytics smokes now find remote
mutation events through `remote_plugin_id` and validate that `plugin_id`
remains local.
## Remote uninstall
Resolve and capture telemetry metadata before removing the local plugin
cache, then emit `codex_plugin_uninstalled` after the backend confirms
success. The event is also emitted when backend uninstall succeeds but
local cache cleanup reports `CacheRemove`.
If a concurrent remote-cache refresh removes the local bundle before
telemetry capture, the already-fetched remote plugin detail supplies
fallback capability metadata.

uninstalled state was restored.
## Summary
- rename `reminder_interval_model_requests` to
`reminder_interval_seconds`
- read the configured time provider before every model request and
inject a reminder only after the configured number of seconds has
elapsed
- preserve immediate first delivery and forced delivery after compaction
changes the context window
## Tests

## Summary
Multi-agent v2 tools now use the fixed `collaboration` namespace when
namespace tools are available. This keeps the model-visible hint and the
actual tool surface aligned around `functions.collaboration.*`, without
exposing an unshipped namespace knob to users.
The PR also removes the old `features.multi_agent_v2.tool_namespace`
config/schema surface, updates the MAv2 test fixtures for namespaced
calls, and fixes stale `TurnContext.features` references that were
breaking `codex-core` builds.
## Changes
- Expose MAv2 tools under `collaboration` instead of relying on a
configurable namespace.
- Remove `tool_namespace` from MAv2 TOML config, resolved config,
validation, schema, and tests.
- Update tool-planning and integration fixtures to assert or emit
namespaced MAv2 tool calls.
- Read feature state through `TurnContext.config.features` in the
multi-agent mode context paths.
## Testing

- `just test -p codex-features`
## Stack

## Summary
- reject HTTP(S) image URLs in the handlers for `turn/start` and
`turn/steer`
- validate `thread/inject_items` after its existing
JSON-to-`ResponseItem` conversion, so each item is deserialized once
- turn invalid dynamic-tool image responses into the existing
unsuccessful text fallback; the model receives the validation message as
the function output
- leave `thread/resume.history` compatible with legacy history; #29417
replaces remote images before model input
- continue accepting inline data URLs and `localImage` inputs
- keep this policy in app-server; this PR does not add a shared protocol
API or change core image preparation

## Description
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355 and
starts assigning `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` to
durable Responses API items created during a turn.
The goal is that those items keep the `turn_id` that introduced them
when Codex resends stateless HTTP context, reconstructs history for
resume/fork paths, or reuses websocket response state.
## What changed
- Set `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` when missing
as response items enter durable history, initial/replacement history,
inter-agent communication history, and local compaction summaries.
- Preserve existing item turn IDs instead of overwriting them during
persistence, resume reconstruction, compaction, forked history, and
websocket incremental reuse.
- Keep `compaction_trigger` fieldless because it is a request control,
not a durable response item.
- Update focused history/request assertions and fixtures for stateless
requests, websocket incrementals, compaction, thread injection, prompt
debug, and related CI coverage.
## What
This PR will extend the existing centralized image-preparation path to
replace HTTP(S) image inputs with a model visible error message. It
won't "ruin" and break existing rollouts, but it will deprecate support
for the pathway. App server clients should no longer use HTTP image urls
if they'd like to upgrade.
The HTTP image url pathway is currently resolved in the responsesapi. It
is slow and not reccomended.
## Behavior
- HTTP(S) image URL: replace with `input_text`
- data URL: use the existing decode and resize path
- other image URL schemes: leave unchanged
This intentionally does not change app-server ingress. That validation
remains a follow-up.

Adds additive dark-mode plugin logo metadata across manifests, remote
catalogs, and the app-server protocol while keeping uninstalled Git
listings free of synthetic local paths.
Supersedes #28945. This replacement uses an upstream branch so trusted
CI can use the repository-provided remote Bazel configuration.
## Current state
Plugin interfaces expose only the default logo asset. Clients therefore
cannot select a dedicated dark-mode logo even when a plugin provides
one.
## What this PR changes
- Adds nullable `logoDark` and `logoUrlDark` fields to
`PluginInterface`.
- Resolves local `interface.logoDark` assets and maps remote
`logo_url_dark` values.
- Removes path-backed interface assets, including `logoDark`, from
uninstalled Git fallback listings until the plugin has a real local
root.
- Updates the bundled plugin validator and manifest reference.
- Regenerates the app-server JSON schemas and TypeScript types.
Local manifests expose `interface.logoDark` as a package-relative asset
path. Remote catalog responses expose `logo_url_dark`. These values map
into separate app-server fields so clients can preserve local-path and
remote-URL handling.
## Risk
The fields are additive and nullable, so existing clients retain their
current logo behavior. The main risks are an incomplete mapping path or
exposing a synthetic local path for an uninstalled Git plugin.
Local-manifest, remote-catalog, fallback-listing, protocol
serialization, and app-server integration tests cover those paths.
Spiciness: 2/5
## Testing
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- Regression test first failed with `logo_dark` resolved to
`/assets/logo-dark.png`, then passed after the fallback-listing fix.
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` (267 tests passed)

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core-plugins -p
codex-plugin -p codex-skills` (517 tests passed before the follow-up)
- `just test -p codex-tui plugin` (47 tests passed)
- Validated a local plugin manifest containing `interface.logoDark` with
the bundled validator.
## Manual verification
Create a local plugin with both `interface.logo` and
`interface.logoDark`, then call `plugin/list` or `plugin/read`. Confirm
the response contains separate `logo` and `logoDark` paths. For a remote
catalog entry, confirm `logoUrlDark` is populated from `logo_url_dark`.
For an uninstalled Git marketplace entry, confirm path-backed interface
assets remain absent until installation.
Issue: N/A - coordinated maintainer change.
## Summary
- fetch featured plugin IDs when the loaded catalog includes
`openai-curated-remote`
- extend the existing remote marketplace regression test to cover the
featured IDs response
## Why
When the remote plugin catalog was enabled, app-server loaded
`openai-curated-remote` but skipped `/plugins/featured` because the
request processor only fetched featured IDs for the local
`openai-curated` marketplace. As a result, the desktop app could not
render the backend-curated remote featured set.
This keeps the existing local behavior and also returns the curated
ranking for remote plugins.
## Test plan
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
plugin_list_includes_remote_marketplaces_when_remote_plugin_enabled`
## Why
`permissionProfile/list` currently advertises every built-in and
configured profile even when effective enterprise requirements prevent
selecting it. That forces each client to reconstruct policy from
lower-level requirement fields, which is easy to miss and difficult to
keep consistent.
The catalog should remain complete so clients can explain that an option
was disabled by an administrator, while also reporting whether each
profile is selectable.
## What
- Add an `allowed` field to each permission profile summary.
- Build a shared catalog from the effective config and current
requirements, including `allowed_sandbox_modes`, `allowed_permissions`,
and filesystem restrictions.
- Use the shared catalog in app-server and the TUI so disallowed
profiles remain visible but cannot be selected.
- Use the canonical `:danger-full-access` profile ID in the TUI.
- Update the app-server schemas, API documentation, behavioral tests,
and TUI snapshots.
## Scope
This PR targets `main` directly and is independent of #24852. It
preserves the current behavior where built-in profiles are constrained
by sandbox-mode requirements and `allowed_permissions` applies to
configured profiles.

# 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.
