## Summary
The client currently calls `thread/resume` to establish live updates and
immediately follows it with `thread/turns/list` to hydrate recent turns.
This lets `thread/resume` return that page directly, eliminating a round
trip and the ordering/deduplication gap between the two calls.
Experimental clients opt in with `initialTurnsPage: { limit,
sortDirection, itemsView }`. The response returns `initialTurnsPage` as
a `TurnsPage`, including cursors for paging further back in history.
Keeping the controls in a nested opt-in object provides the useful
`thread/turns/list` knobs without spreading page-specific parameters
across `thread/resume`.

## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## Why
The app-server thread lifecycle API should no longer expose the full
`PermissionProfile` value. After the permissions-profile migration,
clients should round-trip only the active profile identity through
`activePermissionProfile` and `permissions` when that identity is known.
The full profile is server-side config. Treating a response-derived
legacy sandbox projection as a new local profile can lose named-profile
restrictions and accidentally widen permissions on the next turn. The
legacy `sandbox` response field remains only as the
compatibility/display fallback.
## What Changed
- Removed `permissionProfile` from `ThreadStartResponse`,
`ThreadResumeResponse`, and `ThreadForkResponse`.
- Stopped populating that field in app-server thread start/resume/fork
responses.
- Updated embedded exec/TUI response mapping to derive display
permission state from local config or the legacy sandbox fallback
instead of a response profile value.
- Added a TUI turn override shape that distinguishes preserving server
permissions, selecting an active profile id, and sending a legacy
sandbox for an explicit local override.
- Preserved remote app-server permissions across turns by sending
`permissions` only when an `activePermissionProfile` id is known, and
otherwise sending no sandbox override unless the user selected a local
override.
- Kept embedded `thread/resume` hydration server-authored when
`activePermissionProfile` is absent, which matches the live-thread
attach path where the server ignores requested overrides.
- Updated the app-server README to remove the obsolete lifecycle
response `permissionProfile` reference. The remaining
`permissionProfile` README references are request-side permission
overrides.
- Regenerated app-server JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures.
- Kept the generated typed response enum exempt from
`large_enum_variant`, matching the existing payload enum exemption after
the lifecycle response variants shrank.
## How To Review
Start with `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/thread.rs` to
confirm the response shape, then check the response construction in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors`. The generated schema and
TypeScript fixture changes are mechanical follow-through from the
protocol removal.
The TUI behavior is the delicate part: review
`codex-rs/tui/src/app_server_session.rs` for response hydration and
turn-start override projection, then
`codex-rs/tui/src/app/thread_routing.rs` for the decision about whether
the next turn should preserve the server snapshot, send an active
profile id, or send a legacy sandbox for an explicit local override.

Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com). Best reviewed
with [ReviewStack](https://reviewstack.dev/openai/codex/pull/22792).
* #22795
* __->__ #22792
## Why
This PR builds on [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610)
and is the app-server side of the migration from mutable per-turn
`SandboxPolicy` replacement toward selecting immutable permission
profiles by id plus mutable runtime workspace roots.
Once permission profiles can carry their own immutable
`workspace_roots`, app-server no longer needs to mutate the selected
`PermissionProfile` just to represent thread-specific filesystem
context. The mutable part now lives on the thread as explicit
`runtimeWorkspaceRoots`, while `:workspace_roots` remains symbolic until
the sandbox is realized for a turn.
## What Changed
- Replaced the v2 permission-selection wrapper surface with plain
profile ids for `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and
`turn/start`.
- Removed the API surface for profile modifications
(`PermissionProfileSelectionParams`,
`PermissionProfileModificationParams`,
`ActivePermissionProfileModification`).
- Added experimental `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` fields to the thread
lifecycle and turn-start APIs.
- Threaded runtime workspace roots through core session/thread
snapshots, turn overrides, app-server request handling, and command
execution permission resolution.
- Kept session permission state symbolic so later runtime root updates
and cwd-only implicit-root retargeting rebind `:workspace_roots`
correctly.
- Updated the embedded clients just enough to send and restore the new
thread state.
- Refreshed the generated schema/TypeScript artifacts and the app-server
README to match the new contract.
## Verification
Targeted coverage for this layer lives in:
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_start.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_resume.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/session/tests.rs`
The key regression checks exercise that:
- `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` resolve against the effective cwd on thread
start.
- Profile-declared workspace roots are excluded from the runtime
workspace roots returned by app-server.
- A turn-level runtime workspace-root update persists onto the thread
and is returned by `thread/resume`.
- A named permission profile selected on one turn remains symbolic so a
later runtime-root-only turn update changes the actual sandbox writes.
- A cwd-only turn update retargets the implicit runtime cwd root while
preserving additional runtime roots.
- The protocol fixtures and generated client artifacts stay in sync with
the string-based permission selection contract.

## Why
Codex assisted-code attribution needs a client-side accepted-code source
that does not upload raw code. This adds a hash-only analytics event
derived from the turn diff so downstream attribution can compare
accepted Codex lines against commit or PR diffs.
## What Changed
- Parse accepted/effective added lines from the final turn diff and emit
`codex_accepted_line_fingerprints` analytics.
- Hash repo, path, and normalized line content before upload; raw code
and raw diffs are not included in the event.
- Chunk large fingerprint payloads and send accepted-line fingerprint
events in isolated requests while preserving normal batching for other
analytics events.
- Canonicalize Git remote URLs before repo hashing so SSH/HTTPS GitHub
remotes join to the same repo hash.
- Add parser coverage for unified diff hunk lines that look like `+++`
or `---` file headers.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics`
- `cargo test -p codex-git-utils canonicalize_git_remote_url`
- `just fix -p codex-analytics`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
`session_id` and `thread_id` are separate identities after #20437, but
app-server only surfaced `sessionId` on the `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, and `thread/fork` response envelopes. Other
thread-bearing surfaces such as `thread/list`, `thread/read`,
`thread/started`, `thread/rollback`, `thread/metadata/update`, and
`thread/unarchive` either lacked the grouping key or forced clients to
special-case those three responses.
Making `sessionId` part of the reusable `Thread` payload gives every v2
API surface one place to expose session-tree identity.
## Mental model
1. thread.sessionId lives on `Thread`
2. It is a view/runtime identity for the current live session tree, not
durable stored lineage metadata
3. When app-server has a live loaded thread, it copies the real value
from core’s session_configured.session_id
4. When it only has stored/unloaded data, it falls back to
thread.sessionId = thread.id
## What changed
- Added `sessionId` to the v2
[`Thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/thread_data.rs#L105-L109).
- Removed the duplicate top-level `sessionId` fields from
`thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork`; clients should now
read `response.thread.sessionId`.
- Populated `thread.sessionId` when building live thread responses,
replaying loaded threads, and returning stored-thread summaries so the
field is present across start, resume, fork, list, read, rollback,
metadata-update, unarchive, and `thread/started` paths. See
[`load_thread_from_resume_source_or_send_internal`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L2824-L2918)
and
[`thread_from_stored_thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L3671-L3719).
- Preserved the stored-thread fallback: if a thread has not been loaded
into a live session tree yet, `thread.sessionId` falls back to
`thread.id`; once the thread is live again, the field reports the active
session tree root.
- Regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schemas and updated the app-server
README examples to show
[`thread.sessionId`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/README.md#L306-L310)
on the thread object.
## Why
`thread/start` and `thread/resume` already return `sessionId`, but
`thread/fork` only returned the new thread. That left clients to infer
the forked thread's session identity from `thread.id`, which kept the
new `session_id` / `thread_id` split implicit at one lifecycle boundary.
Follow-up to #20437.
## What changed
- Add `sessionId` to `ThreadForkResponse`.
- Populate it from the forked session configuration.
- Regenerate the v2 JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures and update the
app-server docs/example.
- Extend the fork integration test to assert the returned `sessionId`.
## Verification
- Added coverage in `thread_fork_creates_new_thread_and_emits_started`
for the new response field.

TLDR:
We update the meaning of session ids and thread ids:
* thread_id stays as now
* session_id become a shared id between every thread under a /root
thread (i.e. every sub-agent share the same session id)
This PR introduces an explicit `SessionId` and threads it through the
protocol/client boundary so `session_id` and `thread_id` can diverge
when they need to, while preserving compatibility for older serialized
`session_configured` events.

## Summary
- make `thread_source` an explicit optional thread-level field on
`thread/start`, `thread/fork`, and returned thread payloads
- persist `thread_source` in rollout/session metadata so resumed live
threads retain the original value
- replace the old best-effort `session_source` -> `thread_source`
mapping with an explicit caller-supplied analytics classification
## Why
Before this change, analytics `thread_source` was populated by a
best-effort mapping from `session_source`. `session_source` describes
the runtime/client surface, not the actual thread-level origin, so that
projection was not accurate enough to distinguish cases such as `user`,
`subagent`, `memory_consolidation`, and future thread origins reliably.
Making `thread_source` explicit keeps one thread-level analytics field
while letting callers provide the real classification directly instead
of recovering it indirectly from `session_source`.
## Impact
For new analytics events, `thread_source` now reflects the explicit
thread-level classification supplied by the caller rather than an
inferred value derived from `session_source`. Existing protocol fields
remain optional; callers that omit `threadSource` now produce `null`
instead of a best-effort inferred value.
## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-analytics -p codex-core -p
codex-app-server-protocol --no-run`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol

- `cargo test -p codex-analytics
thread_initialized_event_serializes_expected_shape`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
resume_stopped_thread_from_rollout_preserves_thread_source`
## Why
`Turn.items` currently overloads an empty array to mean either that no
items exist or that the server intentionally did not load them for this
response. That ambiguity blocks future lazy-loading work where clients
need to distinguish unloaded, summary, and fully hydrated turn payloads.
## What changed
- add a new `TurnItemsView` enum with `notLoaded`, `summary`, and `full`
variants
- add required `itemsView` metadata to app-server `Turn` payloads
- mark reconstructed persisted history as `full` and live shell-style
turn payloads as `notLoaded`
- keep current `thread/turns/list` behavior unchanged and document that
it still returns `full` turns today
- regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol fixtures
## Verification
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_read_can_include_turns`

thread_resume_rejects_history_when_thread_is_running`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fmt`
## Why
The precursor PR keeps successful client responses typed until
app-server's outgoing response seam. This follow-up uses that seam to
move successful client-response analytics out of individual handlers and
into the shared sender path, while keeping filtering decisions inside
`codex-analytics`.
## What changed
- Emit successful client-response analytics centrally from
`OutgoingMessageSender::send_response`.
- Remove duplicate handler-local response tracking for the current
thread/turn lifecycle responses.
- Keep analytics ingestion selective inside `AnalyticsEventsClient`, so
unrelated client traffic is ignored before cloning or boxing.
- Collapse client-response analytics facts onto one typed path and
normalize payloads in the reducer.
- Add direct client-filter coverage plus sender-level coverage for the
centralized forwarding path.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server outgoing_message::tests --lib`
## Why
`pr17088` adds typed server-originated request/response plumbing, but
successful client responses are still erased into bare JSON-RPC `result`
values before app-server can make any typed decision about them.
This precursor PR keeps successful client responses typed until the
outgoing response seam. It is intentionally limited to
protocol/app-server plumbing so the analytics behavior change can review
separately on top.
## What changed
- Add `ClientResponsePayload` as the pre-serialization client response
body type.
- Route app-server successful response paths through the typed payload
seam while preserving existing handler-local analytics behavior.
- Keep `InterruptConversation` JSON-RPC-only because it has no
`ClientResponse` variant.
- Move the new payload conversion tests into a dedicated protocol test
module.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
