fix: unify npm publish call across shell-tool-mcp.yml and rust-release.yml (#10182 )

We are seeing flakiness in the `npm publish` step for
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codex-shell-tool-mcp, so this is a
shot in the dark for a fix:

https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/21490679301/job/61913765060

Note this removes `actions/checkout@v6` and `pnpm/action-setup@v4`
steps, which I believe are superflous for the `npm publish` call.

Better handling skill depdenencies on ENV VAR. (#9017 )

An experimental flow for env var skill dependencies. Skills can now
declare required env vars in SKILL.md; if missing, the CLI prompts the
user to get the value, and Core will store it in memory (eventually to a
local persistent store)

chore: ensure pnpm-workspace.yaml is up-to-date (#10140 )

On the back of:

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10138

Let's ensure that every folder with a `package.json` is listed in
`pnpm-workspace.yaml` (not sure why `docs` was in there...) and that we
are using `pnpm` over `npm` consistently (which is why this PR deletes
`codex-cli/package-lock.json`).

fix: remove references to corepack (#10138 )

Currently, our `npm publish` logic is failing.

There were a number of things that were merged recently that seemed to
contribute to this situation, though I think we have fixed most of them,
but this one stands out:

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10115

As best I can tell, we tried to fix the pnpm version to a specific hash,
but we did not do it consistently (though `shell-tool-mcp/package.json`
had it specified twice...), so for this PR, I ran:

```
$ git ls-files | grep package.json
codex-cli/package.json
codex-rs/responses-api-proxy/npm/package.json
package.json
sdk/typescript/package.json
shell-tool-mcp/package.json
```

and ensured that all of them now have this line:

```json
  "packageManager": "pnpm@10.28.2+sha512.41872f037ad22f7348e3b1debbaf7e867cfd448f2726d9cf74c08f19507c31d2c8e7a11525b983febc2df640b5438dee6023ebb1f84ed43cc2d654d2bc326264"
```

I also went and deleted all of the `corepack` stuff that was added by
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10115.

If someone can explain why we need it and verify it does not break `npm
publish`, then we can bring it back.

chore: deprecate old web search feature flags (#10097 )

deprecate all old web search flags and aliases, including:
- `[features].web_search_request` and `[features].web_search_cached`
- `[tools].web_search`
- `[features].web_search`

slightly rework `legacy_usages` to enable pointing to non-features from
deprecated features; we need to point to `web_search` (not under
`[features]`) from things like `[features].web_search_cached` and
`[features].web_search_request`.

Added integration tests to confirm deprecation notice is shown on
explicit enablement and disablement of deprecated flags.

Refine request_user_input TUI interactions and option UX (#10025 )

## Summary
Overhaul the ask‑user‑questions TUI to support “Other/None” answers,
better notes handling, improved option selection
UX, and a safer submission flow with confirmation for unanswered
questions.

Multiple choice (number keys for quick selection, up/down or jk for
cycling through options):
<img width="856" height="169" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 22 29 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cabd1b0e-25e0-4859-bd8f-9941192ca274"
/>

Tab to add notes:
<img width="856" height="197" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 22 45 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a807db5e-e966-412c-af91-6edc60062f35"
/>

Freeform (also note enter tooltip is highlighted on last question to
indicate questions UI will be exited upon submission):
<img width="854" height="112" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 23 13 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2e7b88bf-062b-4b9f-a9da-c9d8c8a59643"
/>

Confirmation dialogue (submitting with unanswered questions):
<img width="854" height="126" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 23 29 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/93965c8f-54ac-45bc-a660-9625bcd101f8"
/>

## Key Changes
- **Options UI refresh**
- Render options as numbered entries; allow number keys to select &
submit.
- Remove “Option X/Y” header and allow the question UI height to expand
naturally.
- Keep spacing between question, options, and notes even when notes are
visible.
- Hide the title line and render the question prompt in cyan **only when
uncommitted**.

- **“Other / None of the above” support**
  - Wire `isOther` to add “None of the above”.
  - Add guidance text: “Optionally, add details in notes (tab).”

- **Notes composer UX**
- Remove “Notes” heading; place composer directly under the selected
option.
- Preserve pending paste placeholders across question navigation and
after submission.
  - Ctrl+C clears notes **only when the notes composer has focus**.
  - Ctrl+C now triggers an immediate redraw so the clear is visible.

- **Committed vs uncommitted state**
  - Introduce a unified `answer_committed` flag per question.
- Editing notes (including adding text or pastes) marks the answer
uncommitted.
- Changing the option highlight (j/k, up/down) marks the answer
uncommitted.
  - Clearing options (Backspace/Delete) also clears pending notes.
  - Question prompt turns cyan only when the answer is uncommitted.

- **Submission safety & confirmation**
  - Only submit notes/freeform text once explicitly committed.
- Last-question submit with unanswered questions shows a confirmation
dialog.
  - Confirmation options:
    1. **Proceed** (default)
    2. **Go back**
  - Description reflects count: “Submit with N unanswered question(s).”
  - Esc/Backspace in confirmation returns to first unanswered question.
  - Ctrl+C in confirmation interrupts and exits the overlay.

- **Footer hints**
- Cyan highlight restored for “enter to submit answer” / “enter to
submit all”.
