## Stack
1. Base PR: #18443 stops granting ACLs on `USERPROFILE`.
2. This PR: filters additional SSH-owned profile roots discovered from
SSH config.
## Bug
The base PR removes the broadest bad grant: `USERPROFILE` itself.
That still leaves one important case. A user profile child can be
SSH-owned even when its name is not one of our fixed exclusions.
For example:
```sshconfig
Host devbox
IdentityFile ~/.keys/devbox
CertificateFile ~/.certs/devbox-cert.pub
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.known_hosts_custom
Include ~/.ssh/conf.d/*.conf
```
After profile expansion, the sandbox might see these as normal profile
children:
```text
C:\Users\me\.keys
C:\Users\me\.certs
C:\Users\me\.known_hosts_custom
C:\Users\me\.ssh
```
Those paths have another owner: OpenSSH and the tools that manage SSH
identity and host-key state. Codex should not add sandbox ACLs to them.
OpenSSH describes this dependency tree in
[`ssh_config(5)`](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5), and the client
parser follows the same shape in `readconf.c`:
- `Include` recursively reads more config files and expands globs
- `IdentityFile` and `CertificateFile` name authentication files
- `UserKnownHostsFile`, `GlobalKnownHostsFile`, and `RevokedHostKeys`
name host-key files
- `ControlPath` and `IdentityAgent` can name profile-owned sockets or
control files
- these path directives can use forms such as `~`, `%d`, and `${HOME}`
## Change
This PR adds a small SSH config dependency scanner.
It starts at:
```text
~/.ssh/config
```
Then it returns concrete paths named by `Include` and by path-valued SSH
config directives:
```text
IdentityFile
CertificateFile
UserKnownHostsFile
GlobalKnownHostsFile
RevokedHostKeys
ControlPath
IdentityAgent
```
For example:
```sshconfig
IdentityFile ~/.keys/devbox
CertificateFile ~/.certs/devbox-cert.pub
Include ~/.ssh/conf.d/*.conf
```
returns paths like:
```text
C:\Users\me\.keys\devbox
C:\Users\me\.certs\devbox-cert.pub
C:\Users\me\.ssh\conf.d\devbox.conf
```
The setup code then maps those paths back to their top-level
`USERPROFILE` child and filters matching sandbox roots out of both the
writable and readable root lists.
## Why this shape
The parser reports what SSH config references. The sandbox setup code
decides which `USERPROFILE` roots are unsafe to grant.
That keeps the policy simple:
1. expand broad profile grants
2. remove the profile root
3. remove fixed sensitive profile folders
4. remove profile folders referenced by SSH config dependencies
If a path has two possible owners, the sandbox steps back. SSH keeps
control of SSH config, keys, certificates, known-hosts files, sockets,
and included config files.
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox --lib`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
- Add `codex-model-provider` as the runtime home for model-provider
behavior that does not belong in `codex-core`, `codex-login`, or
`codex-api`.
- The new crate wraps configured `ModelProviderInfo` in a
`ModelProvider` trait object that can resolve the API provider config,
provider-scoped auth manager, and request auth provider for each call.
- This centralizes provider auth behavior in one place today, and gives
us an extension point for future provider-specific auth, model listing,
request setup, and related runtime behavior.
## Tests
Ran tests manually to make sure that provider auth under different
configs still work as expected.

## Summary
Stack PR3 for feature-gated agent identity support.
This PR adds per-thread agent task registration behind
`features.use_agent_identity`. Tasks are minted on the first real user
turn and cached in thread runtime state for later turns.
## Stack
- PR1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17385 - add
`features.use_agent_identity`
- PR2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17386 - register agent
identities when enabled
- PR3: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387 - this PR, original
task registration slice
- PR3.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17978 - persist and
prewarm registered tasks per thread
- PR4: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17980 - use `AgentAssertion`
downstream when enabled
## Validation
Covered as part of the local stack validation pass:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_identity`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_assertion`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib websocket_agent_task`
- `cargo test -p codex-api api_bridge`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
## Notes
The full local app-server E2E path is still being debugged after PR
creation. The current branch stack is directionally ready for review
while that follow-up continues.
- Add a "remote" thread store implementation
- Implement the remote thread store as a thin wrapper that makes grpc
calls to a configurable service endpoint
- Implement only the thread/list method to start
- Encode the grpc method/param shape as protobufs in the remote
implementation
A wart: the proto generation script is an "example" binary target. This
is an example target only because Cargo lets examples use
dev-dependencies, which keeps tonic-prost-build out of the normal
codex-thread-store dependency surface. A regular bin would either need
to add proto generation deps as normal runtime deps, or use a
feature-gated optional dep, which this repo’s manifest checks explicitly
reject.
Split plugin loading, marketplace, and related infrastructure out of
core into codex-core-plugins, while keeping the core-facing
configuration and orchestration flow in codex-core.

## Summary
This PR significantly improves the standalone installer experience.
The main changes are:
1. We now install the codex binary and other dependencies in a
subdirectory under CODEX_HOME.
(`CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/releases/...`)
2. We replace the `codex.js` launcher that npm/bun rely on with logic in
the Rust binary that automatically resolves its dependencies (like
ripgrep)
## Motivation
A few design constraints pushed this work.
1. Currently, the entrypoint to codex is through `codex.js`, which
forces a node dependency to kick off our rust app. We want to move away
from this so that the entrypoint to codex does not rely on node or
external package managers.
2. Right now, the native script adds codex and its dependencies directly
to user PATH. Given that codex is likely to add more binary dependencies
than ripgrep, we want a solution which does not add arbitrary binaries
to user PATH -- the only one we want to add is the `codex` command
itself.
3. We want upgrades to be atomic. We do not want scenarios where
interrupting an upgrade command can move codex into undefined state (for
example, having a new codex binary but an old ripgrep binary). This was
~possible with the old script.
4. Currently, the Rust binary uses heuristics to determine which
installer created it. These heuristics are flaky and are tied to the
`codex.js` launcher. We need a more stable/deterministic way to
determine how the binary was installed for standalone.
5. We do not want conflicting codex installations on PATH. For example,
the user installing via npm, then installing via brew, then installing
via standalone would make it unclear which version of codex is being
launched and make it tough for us to determine the right upgrade
command.
## Design
### Standalone package layout
Standalone installs now live under `CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone`:
```text
$CODEX_HOME/
packages/
standalone/
current -> releases/0.111.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
releases/
0.111.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/
codex
codex-resources/
rg
```
where `standalone/current` is a symlink to a release directory.
On Windows, the release directory has the same shape, with `.exe` names
and Windows helpers in `codex-resources`:
```text
%CODEX_HOME%\
packages\
standalone\
current -> releases\0.111.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
releases\
0.111.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\
codex.exe
codex-resources\
rg.exe
codex-command-runner.exe
codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe
```
This gives us:
- atomic upgrades because we can fully stage a release before switching
`standalone/current`
- a stable way for the binary to recognize a standalone install from its
canonical `current_exe()` path under CODEX_HOME
- a clean place for binary dependencies like `rg`, Windows sandbox
helpers, and, in the future, our custom `zsh` etc
### Command location
On Unix, we add a symlink at `~/.local/bin/codex` which points directly
to the `$CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/current/codex` binary. This
becomes the main entrypoint for the CLI.
On Windows, we store the link at
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\OpenAI\Codex\bin`.
### PATH persistence
This is a tricky part of the PR, as there's no ~super reliable way to
ensure that we end up on PATH without significant tradeoffs.
Most Unix variants will have `~/.local/bin` on PATH already, which means
we *should* be fine simply registering the command there in most cases.
However, there are cases where this is not the case. In these cases, we
directly edit the profile depending on the shell we're in.
- macOS zsh: `~/.zprofile`
- macOS bash: `~/.bash_profile`
- Linux zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Linux bash: `~/.bashrc`
- fallback: `~/.profile`
On Windows, we update the User `Path` environment variable directly and
we don't need to worry about shell profiles.
### Standalone runtime detection
This PR adds a new shared crate, `codex-install-context`, which computes
install ownership once per process and caches it in a `OnceLock`.
That context includes:
- install manager (`Standalone`, `Npm`, `Bun`, `Brew`, `Other`)
- the managed standalone release directory, when applicable
- the managed standalone `codex-resources` directory, when present
- the resolved `rg_command`
The standalone path is detected by canonicalizing `current_exe()`,
canonicalizing CODEX_HOME via `find_codex_home()`, and checking whether
the binary is running from under
`$CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/releases`.
We intentionally do not use a release metadata file. The binary path is
the source of truth.
### Dependency resolution
For standalone installs, `grep_files` now resolves bundled `rg` from
`codex-resources` next to the Codex binary.
For npm/bun/brew/other installs, `grep_files` falls back to resolving
`rg` from PATH.
For Windows standalone installs, Windows sandbox helpers are still found
as direct siblings when present. If they are not direct siblings, the
lookup also checks the sibling `codex-resources` directory.
### TUI update path
The TUI now has `UpdateAction::StandaloneUnix` and
`UpdateAction::StandaloneWindows`, which rerun the standalone install
commands.
Unix update command:
```sh
sh -c "curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh"
```
Windows update command:
```powershell
powershell -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1|iex"
```
The Windows updater runs PowerShell directly. We do this because `cmd
/C` would parse the `|iex` as a cmd pipeline instead of passing it to
PowerShell.
## Additional installer behavior
- standalone installs now warn about conflicting npm/bun/brew-managed
`codex` installs and offer to uninstall them
- same-version reruns do not redownload the release if it is already
staged locally
## Testing
Installer smoke tests run:
- macOS: fresh install into isolated `HOME` and `CODEX_HOME` with
`scripts/install/install.sh --release latest`
- macOS: reran the installer against the same isolated install to verify
the same-version/update path and PATH block idempotence
- macOS: verified the installed `codex --version` and bundled
`codex-resources/rg --version`
- Windows: parsed `scripts/install/install.ps1` with PowerShell via
`[scriptblock]::Create(...)`
- Windows: verified the standalone update action builds a direct
PowerShell command and does not route the `irm ...|iex` command through
`cmd /C`

Builds on top of #17659
Move the filesystem + sqlite thread listing-related operations inside of
a local ThreadStore implementation and call ThreadStore from the places
that used to perform these filesystem/sqlite operations.
This is the first of a series of PRs that will implement the rest of the
local ThreadStore.
Testing:
- added unit tests for the thread store implementation
- adjusted some unit tests in the realtime + personality packages whose
callsites changed. Specifically I'm trying to hide ThreadMetadata inside
of the local implementation and make ThreadMetadata a sqlite
implementation detail concern rather than a public interface, preferring
the more generate StoredThread interface instead
- added a corner case test for the personality migration package that
wasn't covered by the existing test suite
- adjust the behavior of searched thread listing to run the existing
local rollout repair/backfill pass _before_ querying SQLite results, so
callers using ThreadStore::list_threads do not miss matches after a
partial metadata warm-up
## Summary
Stack PR 2 of 4 for feature-gated agent identity support.
This PR adds agent identity registration behind
`features.use_agent_identity`. It keeps the app-server protocol
unchanged and starts registration after ChatGPT auth exists rather than
requiring a client restart.
## Stack
- PR1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17385 - add
`features.use_agent_identity`
- PR2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17386 - this PR
- PR3: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387 - register agent tasks
when enabled
- PR4: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17388 - use `AgentAssertion`
downstream when enabled
## Validation
Covered as part of the local stack validation pass:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_identity`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib agent_assertion`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib websocket_agent_task`
- `cargo test -p codex-api api_bridge`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
## Notes
The full local app-server E2E path is still being debugged after PR
creation. The current branch stack is directionally ready for review
while that follow-up continues.
Introduce a ThreadStore interface for mediating access to the filesystem
(rollout jsonl files + sqlite db) based thread storage.
In later PRs we'll move the existing fs code behind a "local"
implementation of this ThreadStore interface.
This PR should be a no-op behaviorally, it only introduces the
interface.
## Summary
- Pin Rust git patch dependencies to immutable revisions and make
cargo-deny reject unknown git and registry sources unless explicitly
allowlisted.
- Add checked-in SHA-256 coverage for the current rusty_v8 release
assets, wire those hashes into Bazel, and verify CI override downloads
before use.
- Add rusty_v8 MODULE.bazel update/check tooling plus a Bazel CI guard
so future V8 bumps cannot drift from the checked-in checksum manifest.
- Pin release/lint cargo installs and all external GitHub Actions refs
to immutable inputs.
## Future V8 bump flow
Run these after updating the resolved `v8` crate version and checksum
manifest:
```bash
python3 .github/scripts/rusty_v8_bazel.py update-module-bazel
python3 .github/scripts/rusty_v8_bazel.py check-module-bazel
```
The update command rewrites the matching `rusty_v8_<crate_version>`
`http_file` SHA-256 values in `MODULE.bazel` from
`third_party/v8/rusty_v8_<crate_version>.sha256`. The check command is
also wired into Bazel CI to block drift.
## Notes
- This intentionally excludes RustSec dependency upgrades and
bubblewrap-related changes per request.
- The branch was rebased onto the latest origin/main before opening the
PR.
## Validation
- cargo fetch --locked
- cargo deny check advisories
- cargo deny check
- cargo deny check sources
- python3 .github/scripts/rusty_v8_bazel.py check-module-bazel
- python3 .github/scripts/rusty_v8_bazel.py update-module-bazel
- python3 -m unittest discover -s .github/scripts -p
'test_rusty_v8_bazel.py'
- python3 -m py_compile .github/scripts/rusty_v8_bazel.py

- repo-wide GitHub Actions `uses:` audit: all external action refs are
pinned to 40-character SHAs
- yq eval on touched workflows and local actions
- git diff --check
- just bazel-lock-check
## Hash verification
- Confirmed `MODULE.bazel` hashes match
`third_party/v8/rusty_v8_146_4_0.sha256`.
- Confirmed GitHub release asset digests for denoland/rusty_v8
`v146.4.0` and openai/codex `rusty-v8-v146.4.0` match the checked-in
hashes.
- Streamed and SHA-256 hashed all 10 `MODULE.bazel` rusty_v8 asset URLs
locally; every downloaded byte stream matched both `MODULE.bazel` and
the checked-in manifest.
## Pin verification
- Confirmed signing-action pins match the peeled commits for their tag
comments: `sigstore/cosign-installer@v3.7.0`, `azure/login@v2`, and
`azure/trusted-signing-action@v0`.
- Pinned the remaining tag-based action refs in Bazel CI/setup:
`actions/setup-node@v6`, `facebook/install-dotslash@v2`,
`bazelbuild/setup-bazelisk@v3`, and `actions/cache/restore@v5`.
- Normalized all `bazelbuild/setup-bazelisk@v3` refs to the peeled
commit behind the annotated tag.
- Audited Cargo git dependencies: every manifest git dependency uses
`rev` only, every `Cargo.lock` git source has `?rev=<sha>#<same-sha>`,
and `cargo deny check sources` passes with `required-git-spec = "rev"`.
- Shallow-fetched each distinct git dependency repo at its pinned SHA
and verified Git reports each object as a commit.
## Summary\n- add an exec-server package-local test helper binary that
can run exec-server and fs-helper flows\n- route exec-server filesystem
tests through that helper instead of cross-crate codex helper
binaries\n- stop relying on Bazel-only extra binary wiring for these
tests\n\n## Testing\n- not run (per repo guidance for codex changes)

## 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.

## Summary
- split `models-manager` out of `core` and add `ModelsManagerConfig`
plus `Config::to_models_manager_config()` so model metadata paths stop
depending on `core::Config`
- move login-owned/auth-owned code out of `core` into `codex-login`,
move model provider config into `codex-model-provider-info`, move API
bridge mapping into `codex-api`, move protocol-owned types/impls into
`codex-protocol`, and move response debug helpers into a dedicated
`response-debug-context` crate
- move feedback tag emission into `codex-feedback`, relocate tests to
the crates that now own the code, and keep broad temporary re-exports so
this PR avoids a giant import-only rewrite
## Major moves and decisions
- created `codex-models-manager` as the owner for model
cache/catalog/config/model info logic, including the new
`ModelsManagerConfig` struct
- created `codex-model-provider-info` as the owner for provider config
parsing/defaults and kept temporary `codex-login`/`codex-core`
re-exports for old import paths
- moved `api_bridge` error mapping + `CoreAuthProvider` into
`codex-api`, while `codex-login::api_bridge` temporarily re-exports
those symbols and keeps the `auth_provider_from_auth` wrapper
- moved `auth_env_telemetry` and `provider_auth` ownership to
`codex-login`
- moved `CodexErr` ownership to `codex-protocol::error`, plus
`StreamOutput`, `bytes_to_string_smart`, and network policy helpers to
protocol-owned modules
- created `codex-response-debug-context` for
`extract_response_debug_context`, `telemetry_transport_error_message`,
and related response-debug plumbing instead of leaving that behavior in
`core`
- moved `FeedbackRequestTags`, `emit_feedback_request_tags`, and
`emit_feedback_request_tags_with_auth_env` to `codex-feedback`
- deferred removal of temporary re-exports and the mechanical import
rewrites to a stacked follow-up PR so this PR stays reviewable
## Test moves
- moved auth refresh coverage from `core/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs` to
`login/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs`
- moved text encoding coverage from
`core/tests/suite/text_encoding_fix.rs` to
`protocol/src/exec_output_tests.rs`
- moved model info override coverage from
`core/tests/suite/model_info_overrides.rs` to
`models-manager/src/model_info_overrides_tests.rs`
---------

- Split MCP runtime/server code out of `codex-core` into the new
`codex-mcp` crate. New/moved public structs/types include `McpConfig`,
`McpConnectionManager`, `ToolInfo`, `ToolPluginProvenance`,
`CodexAppsToolsCacheKey`, and the `McpManager` API
(`codex_mcp::mcp::McpManager` plus the `codex_core::mcp::McpManager`
wrapper/shim). New/moved functions include `with_codex_apps_mcp`,
`configured_mcp_servers`, `effective_mcp_servers`,
`collect_mcp_snapshot`, `collect_mcp_snapshot_from_manager`,
`qualified_mcp_tool_name_prefix`, and the MCP auth/skill-dependency
helpers. Why: this creates a focused MCP crate boundary and shrinks
`codex-core` without forcing every consumer to migrate in the same PR.
- Move MCP server config schema and persistence into `codex-config`.
New/moved structs/enums include `AppToolApproval`,
`McpServerToolConfig`, `McpServerConfig`, `RawMcpServerConfig`,
`McpServerTransportConfig`, `McpServerDisabledReason`, and
`codex_config::ConfigEditsBuilder`. New/moved functions include
`load_global_mcp_servers` and
`ConfigEditsBuilder::replace_mcp_servers`/`apply`. Why: MCP TOML
parsing/editing is config ownership, and this keeps config
validation/round-tripping (including per-tool approval overrides and
inline bearer-token rejection) in the config crate instead of
`codex-core`.
- Rewire `codex-core`, app-server, and plugin call sites onto the new
crates. Updated `Config::to_mcp_config(&self, plugins_manager)`,
`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`, `codex-rs/core/src/connectors.rs`,
`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`,
`CodexMessageProcessor::list_mcp_server_status_task`, and
`utils/plugins/src/mcp_connector.rs` to build/pass the new MCP
config/runtime types. Why: plugin-provided MCP servers still merge with
user-configured servers, and runtime auth (`CodexAuth`) is threaded into
`with_codex_apps_mcp` / `collect_mcp_snapshot` explicitly so `McpConfig`
stays config-only.
## Why
`codex-cloud-tasks-client` was mixing two different roles: the real HTTP
client and the mock implementation used by tests and local mock mode.
Keeping both in the same crate forced Cargo feature toggles and Bazel
`crate_features` just to pick an implementation.
This change keeps `codex-cloud-tasks-client` focused on the shared API
surface and real backend client, and moves the mock implementation into
its own crate so we can remove those feature permutations cleanly.
## What changed
- add a new `codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client` crate that owns `MockClient`
- remove the `mock` and `online` features from
`codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- make `codex-cloud-tasks-client` unconditionally depend on
`codex-backend-client` and export `HttpClient` directly
- gate the mock-mode path in `codex-cloud-tasks` behind
`#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`, so release builds always initialize the real
HTTP client
- update `codex-cloud-tasks` and its tests to use
`codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client::MockClient` wherever mock behavior is
needed
- remove the matching Bazel `crate_features` override and shrink the
manifest verifier allowlist accordingly
## How tested
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks`

[//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER)
Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com). Best reviewed

* #16457
* __->__ #16456
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15922. That
previous PR deleted the old `tui` directory and left the new
`tui_app_server` directory in place. This PR renames `tui_app_server` to
`tui` and fixes up all references.
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
## Why
`parse_tool_input_schema` and the supporting `JsonSchema` model were
living in `core/src/tools/spec.rs`, but they already serve callers
outside `codex-core`.
Keeping that shared schema parsing logic inside `codex-core` makes the
crate boundary harder to reason about and works against the guidance in
`AGENTS.md` to avoid growing `codex-core` when reusable code can live
elsewhere.
This change takes the first extraction step by moving the schema parsing
primitive into its own crate while keeping the rest of the tool-spec
assembly in `codex-core`.
## What changed
- added a new `codex-tools` crate under `codex-rs/tools`
- moved the shared tool input schema model and sanitizer/parser into
`tools/src/json_schema.rs`
- kept `tools/src/lib.rs` exports-only, with the module-level unit tests
split into `json_schema_tests.rs`
- updated `codex-core` to use `codex-tools::JsonSchema` and re-export
`parse_tool_input_schema`
- updated `codex-app-server` dynamic tool validation to depend on
`codex-tools` directly instead of reaching through `codex-core`
- wired the new crate into the Cargo workspace and Bazel build graph
## Why
`#[large_stack_test]` made the `apply_patch_cli` tests pass by giving
them more stack, but it did not address why those tests needed the extra
stack in the first place.
The real problem is the async state built by the `apply_patch_cli`
harness path. Those tests await three helper boundaries directly:
harness construction, turn submission, and apply-patch output
collection. If those helpers inline their full child futures, the test
future grows to include the whole harness startup and request/response
path.
This change replaces the workaround from #12768 with the same basic
approach used in #13429, but keeps the fix narrower: only the helper
boundaries awaited directly by `apply_patch_cli` stay boxed.
## What Changed
- removed `#[large_stack_test]` from
`core/tests/suite/apply_patch_cli.rs`
- restored ordinary `#[tokio::test(flavor = "multi_thread",
worker_threads = 2)]` annotations in that suite
- deleted the now-unused `codex-test-macros` crate and removed its
workspace wiring
- boxed only the three helper boundaries that the suite awaits directly:
- `apply_patch_harness_with(...)`
- `TestCodexHarness::submit(...)`
- `TestCodexHarness::apply_patch_output(...)`
- added comments at those boxed boundaries explaining why they remain
boxed
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all suite::apply_patch_cli --
--nocapture`

- #13429
This PR partially rebase `unified_exec` on the `exec-server` and adapt
the `exec-server` accordingly.
## What changed in `exec-server`
1. Replaced the old "broadcast-driven; process-global" event model with
process-scoped session events. The goal is to be able to have dedicated
handler for each process.
2. Add to protocol contract to support explicit lifecycle status and
stream ordering:
- `WriteResponse` now returns `WriteStatus` (Accepted, UnknownProcess,
StdinClosed, Starting) instead of a bool.
- Added seq fields to output/exited notifications.
- Added terminal process/closed notification.
3. Demultiplexed remote notifications into per-process channels. Same as
for the event sys
4. Local and remote backends now both implement ExecBackend.
5. Local backend wraps internal process ID/operations into per-process
ExecProcess objects.
6. Remote backend registers a session channel before launch and
unregisters on failed launch.
## What changed in `unified_exec`
1. Added unified process-state model and backend-neutral process
wrapper. This will probably disappear in the future, but it makes it
easier to keep the work flowing on both side.
- `UnifiedExecProcess` now handles both local PTY sessions and remote
exec-server processes through a shared `ProcessHandle`.
- Added `ProcessState` to track has_exited, exit_code, and terminal
failure message consistently across backends.
2. Routed write and lifecycle handling through process-level methods.
## Some rationals
1. The change centralizes execution transport in exec-server while
preserving policy and orchestration ownership in core, avoiding
duplicated launch approval logic. This comes from internal discussion.
2. Session-scoped events remove coupling/cross-talk between processes
and make stream ordering and terminal state explicit (seq, closed,
failed).
3. The failure-path surfacing (remote launch failures, write failures,
transport disconnects) makes command tool output and cleanup behavior
deterministic
## Follow-ups:
* Unify the concept of thread ID behind an obfuscated struct
* FD handling
* Full zsh-fork compatibility
* Full network sandboxing compatibility
* Handle ws disconnection
## Summary
- move skill loading and management into codex-core-skills
- leave codex-core with the thin integration layer and shared wiring
## Testing
- CI

## Summary
This change adds websocket authentication at the app-server transport
boundary and enforces it before JSON-RPC `initialize`, so authenticated
deployments reject unauthenticated clients during the websocket
handshake rather than after a connection has already been admitted.
During rollout, websocket auth is opt-in for non-loopback listeners so
we do not break existing remote clients. If `--ws-auth ...` is
configured, the server enforces auth during websocket upgrade. If auth
is not configured, non-loopback listeners still start, but app-server
logs a warning and the startup banner calls out that auth should be
configured before real remote use.
The server supports two auth modes: a file-backed capability token, and
a standard HMAC-signed JWT/JWS bearer token verified with the
`jsonwebtoken` crate, with optional issuer, audience, and clock-skew
validation. Capability tokens are normalized, hashed, and compared in
constant time. Short shared secrets for signed bearer tokens are
rejected at startup. Requests carrying an `Origin` header are rejected
with `403` by transport middleware, and authenticated clients present
credentials as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` during websocket upgrade.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server transport::auth`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli app_server_`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-app-server --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
Note: in the broad `cargo test -p codex-app-server
connection_handling_websocket` run, the touched websocket auth cases
passed, but unrelated Unix shutdown tests failed with a timeout in this
environment.

## Summary
- move macOS permission merging/intersection logic and tests from
`codex-core` into `codex-sandboxing`
- move seatbelt policy builders, permissions logic, SBPL assets, and
their tests into `codex-sandboxing`
- keep `codex-core` owning only the seatbelt spawn wrapper and switch
call sites to import the moved APIs directly
## Notes
- no re-exports added
- moved the seatbelt tests with the implementation so internal helpers
could stay private
- local verification is still finishing while this PR is open
## Summary
- add a new `codex-sandboxing` crate for sandboxing extraction work
- move the pure Linux sandbox argv builders and their unit tests out of
`codex-core`
- keep `core::landlock` as the spawn wrapper and update direct callers
to use `codex_sandboxing::landlock`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core landlock`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Notes
- this is step 1 of the move plan aimed at minimizing per-PR diffs
- no re-exports or no-op proxy methods were added
Moves Code Mode to a new crate with no dependencies on codex. This
create encodes the code mode semantics that we want for lifetime,
mounting, tool calling.
The model-facing surface is mostly unchanged. `exec` still runs raw
JavaScript, `wait` still resumes or terminates a `cell_id`, nested tools
are still available through `tools.*`, and helpers like `text`, `image`,
`store`, `load`, `notify`, `yield_control`, and `exit` still exist.
The major change is underneath that surface:
- Old code mode was an external Node runtime.
- New code mode is an in-process V8 runtime embedded directly in Rust.
- Old code mode managed cells inside a long-lived Node runner process.
- New code mode manages cells in Rust, with one V8 runtime thread per
active `exec`.
- Old code mode used JSON protocol messages over child stdin/stdout plus
Node worker-thread messages.
- New code mode uses Rust channels and direct V8 callbacks/events.
This PR also fixes the two migration regressions that fell out of that
substrate change:
- `wait { terminate: true }` now waits for the V8 runtime to actually
stop before reporting termination.
- synchronous top-level `exit()` now succeeds again instead of surfacing
as a script error.
---
- `core/src/tools/code_mode/*` is now mostly an adapter layer for the
public `exec` / `wait` tools.
- `code-mode/src/service.rs` owns cell sessions and async control flow
in Rust.
- `code-mode/src/runtime/*.rs` owns the embedded V8 isolate and
JavaScript execution.
- each `exec` spawns a dedicated runtime thread plus a Rust
session-control task.
- helper globals are installed directly into the V8 context instead of
being injected through a source prelude.
- helper modules like `tools.js` and `@openai/code_mode` are synthesized
through V8 module resolution callbacks in Rust.
---
Also added a benchmark for showing the speed of init and use of a code
mode env:

This adds a dummy v8-poc project that in Cargo links against our
prebuilt binaries and the ones provided by rusty_v8 for non musl
platforms. This demonstrates that we can successfully link and use v8 on
all platforms that we want to target.
In bazel things are slightly more complicated. Since the libraries as
published have libc++ linked in already we end up with a lot of double
linked symbols if we try to use them in bazel land. Instead we fall back
to building rusty_v8 and v8 from source (cached of course) on the
platforms we ship to.
There is likely some compatibility drift in the windows bazel builder
that we'll need to reconcile before we can re-enable them. I'm happy to
be on the hook to unwind that.

## Summary
Persist Stop-hook continuation prompts as `user` messages instead of
hidden `developer` messages + some requested integration tests
This is a followup to @pakrym 's comment in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14532 to make sure stop-block
continuation prompts match training for turn loops
- Stop continuation now writes `<hook_prompt hook_run_id="...">stop
hook's user prompt<hook_prompt>`
- Introduces quick-xml dependency, though we already indirectly depended
on it anyway via syntect
- This PR only has about 500 lines of actual logic changes, the rest is
tests/schema
## Testing
Example run (with a sessionstart hook and 3 stop hooks) - this shows
context added by session start, then two stop hooks sending their own
additional prompts in a new turn. The model responds with a single
message addressing both. Then when that turn ends, the hooks detect that
they just ran using `stop_hook_active` and decide not to infinite loop
test files for this (unzip, move codex -> .codex):

The idea is that codex-exec exposes an Environment struct with services
on it. Each of those is a trait.
Depending on construction parameters passed to Environment they are
either backed by local or remote server but core doesn't see these
differences.
Stacked PR 1/3.
This is the initialize-only exec-server stub slice: binary/client
scaffolding and protocol docs, without exec/filesystem implementation.

Adds an environment crate and environment + file system abstraction.
Environment is a combination of attributes and services specific to
environment the agent is connected to:
File system, process management, OS, default shell.
The goal is to move most of agent logic that assumes environment to work
through the environment abstraction.
This PR replicates the `tui` code directory and creates a temporary
parallel `tui_app_server` directory. It also implements a new feature
flag `tui_app_server` to select between the two tui implementations.
Once the new app-server-based TUI is stabilized, we'll delete the old
`tui` directory and feature flag.
