feat: sqlite 1 (#10004 )

Add a `.sqlite` database to be used to store rollout metatdata (and
later logs)
This PR is phase 1:
* Add the database and the required infrastructure
* Add a backfill of the database
* Persist the newly created rollout both in files and in the DB
* When we need to get metadata or a rollout, consider the `JSONL` as the
source of truth but compare the results with the DB and show any errors

Restore image attachments/text elements when recalling input history (Up/Down) (#9628 )

**Summary**
- Up/Down input history now restores image attachments and text elements
for local entries.
- Composer history stores rich local entries (text + text elements +
local image paths) while persistent history remains text-only.
- Added tests to verify history recall rehydrates image placeholders and
attachments in both `tui` and `tui2`.

**Changes**
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer_history.rs`: store `HistoryEntry`
(text + elements + image paths) for local history; adapt navigation +
tests.
- `tui2/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer_history.rs`: same as above.
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`: record rich history entries
and restore them on Up/Down; update Ctrl+C history and tests.
- `tui2/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`: same as above.

tui: stabilize shortcut overlay snapshots on WSL (#9359 )

Fixes #9361

## Context
Split out from #9059 per review:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9059#issuecomment-3757859033

## Summary
The shortcut overlay renders different paste-image bindings on WSL
(Ctrl+Alt+V) vs non-WSL (Ctrl+V), which makes snapshot tests
non-deterministic when run under WSL.

## Changes
- Gate WSL detection behind `cfg(not(test))` so snapshot tests are
deterministic across environments.
- Add a focused unit test that still asserts the WSL-specific
paste-image binding.

## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-tui2`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui2`

/>

## Key changes

- Footer tips wrap at tip boundaries (no truncation mid‑tip); footer
height scales to wrapped tips.
- Keep tooltip text as Esc: interrupt in all states.
- Make the full Tab: add notes tip cyan/bold when applicable; hide notes
UI by default.
- Notes toggling/backspace:
- Tab opens notes when an option is selected; Tab again clears notes and
hides the notes UI.
    - Backspace in options clears the current selection.
    - Backspace in empty notes closes notes and returns to options.
- Selection/answering behavior:
- Option questions highlight a default option but are not answered until
Enter.
- Enter no longer auto‑selects when there’s no selection (prevents
accidental answers).
    - Notes submission can commit the selected option when present.
- Freeform questions require Enter with non‑empty text to mark answered;
drafts are not submitted unless committed.
- Unanswered cues:
    - Skipped option questions count as unanswered.
    - Unanswered question titles are highlighted for visibility.
- Typing/navigation in options:
    - Typing no longer opens notes; notes are Tab‑only.
- j/k move option selection; h/l switch questions (Ctrl+n/Ctrl+p still
work).

## Tests

- Added unit coverage for:
    - tip‑level wrapping
    - focus reset when switching questions with existing drafts
    - backspace clearing selection
    - backspace closing empty notes
    - typing in options does not open notes
    - freeform draft submission gating
    - h/l question navigation in options
- Updated snapshots, including narrow footer wrap.

## Why

These changes make the ask‑user‑question overlay:

- safer (no silent auto‑selection or accidental freeform submission),
- clearer (tips wrap cleanly and unanswered states stand out),
- more ergonomic (Tab explicitly controls notes; backspace acts like
undo/close).

Clarify external editor env var message (#10030 )

### Motivation
- Improve UX by making it explicit that `VISUAL`/`EDITOR` must be set
before launching Codex, not during a running session.

### Description
- Update the external editor error text in `codex-rs/tui/src/app.rs` to:
`"Cannot open external editor: set $VISUAL or $EDITOR before starting
Codex."` and run `just fmt` to apply formatting.

### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` successfully; attempted `cargo test -p codex-tui` but
it failed due to network errors when fetching git dependencies (tests
did not complete).

Show OAuth error descriptions in callback responses (#9654 )

### Motivation
- The local OAuth callback server returned a generic "Invalid OAuth
callback" on failures even when the query contained an
`error_description`, making it hard to debug OAuth failures.

### Description
- Update `codex-rs/rmcp-client/src/perform_oauth_login.rs` to surface
`error_description` values from the callback query in the HTTP response.
- Introduce a `CallbackOutcome` enum and change `parse_oauth_callback`
to return it, parsing `code`, `state`, and `error_description` from the
query string.
- Change `spawn_callback_server` to match on `CallbackOutcome` and
return `OAuth error: <description>` with a 400 status when
`error_description` is present, while preserving the existing success
and invalid flows.
- Use inline formatting for the error response string.

### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` in the `codex-rs` workspace to format changes
successfully.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client` and all tests passed.

Fix: Render MCP image outputs regardless of ordering (#9815 )

## What?
- Render an MCP image output cell whenever a decodable image block
exists in `CallToolResult.content` (including text-before-image or
malformed image before valid image).

## Why?
- Tool results that include caption text before the image currently drop
the image output cell.
- A malformed image block can also suppress later valid image output.

## How?
- Iterate `content` and return the first successfully decoded image
instead of only checking the first block.
- Add unit tests that cover text-before-image ordering and
invalid-image-before-valid.

## Before
```rust
let image = match result {
    Ok(mcp_types::CallToolResult { content, .. }) => {
        if let Some(mcp_types::ContentBlock::ImageContent(image)) = content.first() {
            // decode image (fails -> None)
        } else {
            None
        }
    }
    _ => None,
}?;
```
## After
```rust
let image = result
    .as_ref()
    .ok()?
    .content
    .iter()
    .find_map(decode_mcp_image)?;
```

## Risk / Impact
- Low: only affects image cell creation for MCP tool results; no change
for non-image outputs.

## Tests
- [x] `just fmt`
- [x] `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- [x] Rerun after branch update (2026-01-27): `just fmt`, `cargo test -p
codex-tui`

Manual testing

# Manual testing: MCP image tool result rendering (Codex TUI)

# Build the rmcp stdio test server binary:
cd codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-rmcp-client --bin test_stdio_server

# Register the server as an MCP server (absolute path to the built binary):
codex mcp add mcpimg -- /Users/joshka/code/codex-pr-review/codex-rs/target/debug/test_stdio_server

# Then in Codex TUI, ask it to call:
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_only"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_then_image","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_base64_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_image_bytes_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"multiple_valid_images"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_then_text","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_only","caption":"Here is the image:"})

# Expected:
# - You should see an extra history cell: "tool result (image output)" when the
#   tool result contains at least one decodable image block (even if earlier
#   blocks are text or invalid images).


Fixes #9814

feat: make it possible to specify --config flags in the SDK (#10003 )

Updates the `CodexOptions` passed to the `Codex()` constructor in the
SDK to support a `config` property that is a map of configuration data
that will be transformed into `--config` flags passed to the invocation
of `codex`.

Therefore, something like this:

```typescript
const codex = new Codex({
  config: {
    show_raw_agent_reasoning: true,
    sandbox_workspace_write: { network_access: true },
  },
});
```

would result in the following args being added to the invocation of
`codex`:

```shell
--config show_raw_agent_reasoning=true --config sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true
```

fix(app-server, core): defer initial context write to rollout file until first turn (#9950 )

### Overview
Currently calling `thread/resume` will always bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp. This PR makes it the `updated_at` timestamp
changes only if a turn is triggered.

### Additonal context
What we typically do on resuming a thread is **always** writing “initial
context” to the rollout file immediately. This initial context includes:
- Developer instructions derived from sandbox/approval policy + cwd
- Optional developer instructions (if provided)
- Optional collaboration-mode instructions
- Optional user instructions (if provided)
- Environment context (cwd, shell, etc.)

This PR defers writing the “initial context” to the rollout file until
the first `turn/start`, so we don't inadvertently bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp until a turn is actually triggered.

This works even though both `thread/resume` and `turn/start` accept
overrides (such as `model`, `cwd`, etc.) because the initial context is
seeded from the effective `TurnContext` in memory, computed at
`turn/start` time, after both sets of overrides have been applied.

**NOTE**: This is a very short-lived solution until we introduce sqlite.
Then we can remove this.

## Notes / Edge Cases
- In steer mode while typing, the queue hint no longer replaces the mode
label; it renders as `tab to queue message · {Mode}`.
- Collapse priorities differ by state:
- With the queue hint active, `% context left` is hidden before
shortening or dropping the queue hint.
- In the empty + non-running state, `? for shortcuts` is dropped first,
and `% context left` is only shown if `(shift+tab to
cycle)` can also fit.
- Transient instructional states (`?` overlay, Esc hint, Ctrl+C/D
reminders, and flash/override hints) intentionally suppress the
mode label (and context) to focus the next action.

## Implementation Notes
- Renamed the base footer modes to make the state explicit:
`ComposerEmpty` and `ComposerHasDraft`, and compute the base mode
directly from emptiness.
- Unified collapse behavior in `single_line_footer_layout` for both base
modes, with:
- Queue-hint behavior that prefers keeping the queue hint over context.
- A cycle-hint guard that prevents context from reappearing after
`(shift+tab to cycle)` is dropped.
- Kept rendering responsibilities explicit:
  - `single_line_footer_layout` decides what fits.
  - `render_footer_line` renders a chosen line.
- `render_footer_from_props` renders the canonical mode-to-text mapping.
- Expanded snapshot coverage:
- Added `footer_collapse_snapshots` in `chat_composer.rs` to lock the
distinct collapse states across widths.
- Consolidated the width-aware snapshot helper usage (e.g.,
`snapshot_composer_state_with_width`,
`snapshot_footer_with_mode_indicator`).

Fix: cap aggregated exec output consistently (#9759 )

## WHAT?
- Bias aggregated output toward stderr under contention (2/3 stderr, 1/3
stdout) while keeping the 1 MiB cap.
- Rebalance unused stderr share back to stdout when stderr is tiny to
avoid underfilling.
- Add tests for contention, small-stderr rebalance, and under-cap
ordering (stdout then stderr).

## WHY?
- Review feedback requested stderr priority under contention.
- Avoid underfilled aggregated output when stderr is small while
preserving a consistent cap across exec paths.

## HOW?
- Update `aggregate_output` to compute stdout/stderr shares, then
reassign unused capacity to the other stream.
- Use the helper in both Windows and async exec paths.
- Add regression tests for contention/rebalance and under-cap ordering.

## BEFORE
```rust
// Best-effort aggregate: stdout then stderr (capped).
let mut aggregated = Vec::with_capacity(
    stdout
        .text
        .len()
        .saturating_add(stderr.text.len())
        .min(EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES),
);
append_capped(&mut aggregated, &stdout.text, EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES);
append_capped(&mut aggregated, &stderr.text, EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES);
let aggregated_output = StreamOutput {
    text: aggregated,
    truncated_after_lines: None,
};
```

## AFTER
```rust
fn aggregate_output(
    stdout: &StreamOutput<Vec<u8>>,
    stderr: &StreamOutput<Vec<u8>>,
) -> StreamOutput<Vec<u8>> {
    let total_len = stdout.text.len().saturating_add(stderr.text.len());
    let max_bytes = EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES;
    let mut aggregated = Vec::with_capacity(total_len.min(max_bytes));

    if total_len <= max_bytes {
        aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stdout.text);
        aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stderr.text);
        return StreamOutput {
            text: aggregated,
            truncated_after_lines: None,
        };
    }

    // Under contention, reserve 1/3 for stdout and 2/3 for stderr; rebalance unused stderr to stdout.

Fix resume --last with --json option (#9475 )

Fix resume --last prompt parsing by dropping the clap conflict on the
codex resume subcommand so a positional prompt is accepted when --last
is set. This aligns interactive resume behavior with exec-mode logic and
avoids the “--last cannot be used with SESSION_ID” error.

This addresses #6717

fix: handle all web_search actions and in progress invocations (#9960 )

### Summary
- Parse all `web_search` tool actions (`search`, `find_in_page`,
`open_page`).
- Previously we only parsed + displayed `search`, which made the TUI
appear to pause when the other actions were being used.
- Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
  - Previously we only showed completed tool calls

Reject request_user_input outside Plan/Pair (#9955 )

## Context

Previous work in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9560 only rejected
`request_user_input` in Execute and Custom modes. Since then, additional
modes
(e.g., Code) were added, so the guard should be mode-agnostic.

## What changed

- Switch the handler to an allowlist: only Plan and PairProgramming are
allowed
- Return the same error for any other mode (including Code)
- Add a Code-mode rejection test alongside the existing Execute/Custom
tests

## Why

This prevents `request_user_input` from being used in modes where it is
not
intended, even as new modes are introduced.
