### Summary
- Treat AltGr chords (Ctrl+Alt) as literal character input in the Codex
TUI textarea so Windows terminals that report
backslash and other characters via AltGr insert correctly.
- Add regression test altgr_ctrl_alt_char_inserts_literal to ensure
Ctrl+Alt char events append the character and
advance the cursor.
### Motivation
On US/UK keyboard layouts, backslash is produced by a plain key, so
Ctrl+Alt handling is never exercised and the
bug isn’t visible. On many non‑US layouts (e.g., German), backslash and
other symbols require AltGr, which terminals
report as Ctrl+Alt+<char>. Our textarea previously filtered these chords
like navigation bindings, so AltGr input was
dropped on affected layouts. This change treats AltGr chords as literal
input so backslash and similar symbols work on
Windows terminals.
This fixes multiple reported Issues where the \ symbol got cut off.

Previously the popup measured rows using the full content width while
the renderer drew them with 2 columns of padding, so at certain widths
the layout allocated too little vertical space and hid the third option.
Now both desired_height and render call a shared helper that subtracts
the padding before measuring, so the height we reserve always matches
what we draw and the menu doesn't drops entries.

Shows single-key shortcuts (y, a, n) next to approval options to make
them more discoverable. Previously these shortcuts worked but were
hidden, making the feature hard to discover.
Changes:
- "Yes, proceed" now shows "y" shortcut
- "Yes, and don't ask again" now shows "a" shortcut
- "No, and tell Codex..." continues to show "esc" shortcut
This improves UX by surfacing the quick keyboard shortcuts that were
already functional but undiscoverable in the UI.

Update:
added parentheses for better visual clarity

- introduce RenderableItem to support both owned and borrowed children
in composite Renderables
- refactor some of our gnarlier manual layouts, BottomPane and
ChatWidget, to use ColumnRenderable
- Renderable and friends now handle cursor_pos()
## Summary
- replace the word part enum with a simple `is_word_separator` helper
- keep word-boundary logic aligned with the helper and punctuation-aware
behavior
- extend forward/backward deletion tests to cover whitespace around
separators
## Testing
- just fix -p codex-tui
- cargo test -p codex-tui

* Removed sandbox risk categories; feedback indicates that these are not
that useful and "less is more"
* Tweaked the assessment prompt to generate terser answers
* Fixed bug in orchestrator that prevents this feature from being
exposed in the extension
This fixes an issue where messages sent during the final response stream
would seem to disappear, because the "queued messages" UI wasn't shown
during streaming.
fixing drag/drop photos bug in codex
state of the world before:
sometimes, when you drag screenshots into codex, the image does not
properly render into context. instead, the file name is shown in
quotation marks.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c0e540a-505c-4ec0-b634-e9add6a73119
the screenshot is not actually included in agent context. the agent
needs to manually call the view_image tool to see the screenshot. this
can be unreliable especially if the image is part of a longer prompt and
is dependent on the agent going out of its way to view the image.
state of the world after:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f2b7bf7-8a3f-4708-85f3-d68a017bfd97
now, images will always be directly embedded into chat context
## Technical Details
- MacOS sends screenshot paths with a narrow no‑break space right before
the “AM/PM” suffix, which used to trigger our non‑ASCII fallback in the
paste burst detector.
- That fallback flushed the partially buffered paste immediately, so the
path arrived in two separate `handle_paste` calls (quoted prefix +
`PM.png'`). The split string could not be normalized to a real path, so
we showed the quoted filename instead of embedding the image.
- We now append non‑ASCII characters into the burst buffer when a burst
is already active. Finder’s payload stays intact, the path normalizes,
and the image attaches automatically.
- When no burst is active (e.g. during IME typing), non‑ASCII characters
still bypass the buffer so text entry remains responsive.
This PR adds support for a model-based summary and risk assessment for
commands that violate the sandbox policy and require user approval. This
aids the user in evaluating whether the command should be approved.
The feature works by taking a failed command and passing it back to the
model and asking it to summarize the command, give it a risk level (low,
medium, high) and a risk category (e.g. "data deletion" or "data
exfiltration"). It uses a new conversation thread so the context in the
existing thread doesn't influence the answer. If the call to the model
fails or takes longer than 5 seconds, it falls back to the current
behavior.
For now, this is an experimental feature and is gated by a config key
`experimental_sandbox_command_assessment`.
Here is a screen shot of the approval prompt showing the risk assessment
and summary.

Extends shell wrapper stripping in TUI to handle `zsh -lc` in addition
to `bash -lc`.
Currently, Linux users (and macOS users with zsh profiles) see cluttered
command headers like `• Ran zsh -lc "echo hello"` instead of `• Ran echo
hello`. This happens because `codex-rs/tui/src/exec_command.rs` only
checks for literal `"bash"`, ignoring `zsh` and absolute paths like
`/usr/bin/zsh`.
**Changes:**
- Added `is_login_shell_with_lc` helper that extracts shell basename and
matches against `bash` or `zsh`
- Updated pattern matching to use the helper instead of hardcoded check
- Added test coverage for zsh and absolute paths (`/usr/bin/zsh`,
`/bin/bash`)
**Testing:**
```bash
cd codex-rs
cargo test strip_bash_lc_and_escape -p codex-tui
```
All 4 test cases pass (bash, zsh, and absolute paths for both).
Closes#4201
Expand the custom prompts documentation and link it from other guides. Show saved prompt metadata in the slash-command popup, with tests covering description fallbacks.
## Summary
- add a kill buffer to the text area and wire Ctrl+Y to yank it
- capture text from Ctrl+W, Ctrl+U, and Ctrl+K operations into the kill
buffer
- add regression coverage ensuring the last kill can be yanked back

keep a 1 cell margin at the right edge of the screen in the composer
(and in the user message in history).
this lets us print clear-to-EOL 1 char before the end of the line in
history, so that resizing the terminal will keep the background color
(at least in iterm/terminal.app). it also stops the cursor in the
textarea from floating off the right edge.

Refactor trust_directory to use ColumnRenderable & friends, thus
correcting wrapping behavior at small widths. Also introduce
RowRenderable with fixed-width rows.
- fixed wrapping in trust_directory
- changed selector cursor to match other list item selections
- allow y/n to work as well as 1/2
- fixed key_hint to be standard

Clear the history cursor before checking for duplicate submissions so
sending the same message twice exits history mode. This prevents Up/Down
from staying stuck in history browsing after duplicate sends.
Before when you would enter `/di`, hit tab on `/diff`, and then hit
enter, it would execute `/diff`. But now it's just sending it as a text.
This fixes the issue.
- prefix command approval reasons with "Reason:"
- show keyboard shortcuts for some ListSelectionItems
- remove "description" lines for approval options, and make the labels
more verbose
- add a spacer line in diff display after the path
and some other minor refactors that go along with the above.

existing token usage details
- replace the composer shortcut prompt with the context window
percentage (or an unavailable message) while a task is running
- update TUI snapshots to reflect the new context window line
## Testing

Here's the logic:
1. If text is empty and selector is open:
- Enter on a prompt without args should autosubmit the prompt
- Enter on a prompt with numeric args should add `/prompts:name ` to the
text input
- Enter on a prompt with named args should add `/prompts:name ARG1=""
ARG2=""` to the text input
2. If text is not empty but no args are passed:
- For prompts with numeric args -> we allow it to submit (params are
optional)
- For prompts with named args -> we throw an error (all params should
have values)
