Alt-d should delete the next word. It didn’t. Now it does. Added a small
test so it stays that way.
Details:
File updated:
[codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/textarea.rs](./codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/textarea.rs)
Test added: delete_forward_word_alt_d — verifies Alt-d deletes the next
word and keeps the cursor position correct.
Solves Issue #12453
Summary
- distinguish exec end handling targets (active tracking, active orphan
history, new cell) so unified exec responses don’t clobber unrelated
exploring cells
- ensure orphan ends flush existing exploring history when complete,
insert standalone history entries, and keep active cells correct
- add regression tests plus a snapshot covering the new behavior and
expose the ExecCell completion result for verification

## Summary
Adds syntax highlighting to the TUI for fenced code blocks in markdown
responses and file diffs, plus a `/theme` command with live preview and
persistent theme selection. Uses syntect (~250 grammars, 32 bundled
themes, ~1 MB binary cost) — the same engine behind `bat`, `delta`, and
`xi-editor`. Includes guardrails for large inputs, graceful fallback to
plain text, and SSH-aware clipboard integration for the `/copy` command.

## Problem
Code blocks in the TUI (markdown responses and file diffs) render
without syntax highlighting, making it hard to scan code at a glance.
Users also have no way to pick a color theme that matches their terminal
aesthetic.
## Mental model
The highlighting system has three layers:
1. **Syntax engine** (`render::highlight`) -- a thin wrapper around
syntect + two-face. It owns a process-global `SyntaxSet` (~250 grammars)
and a `RwLock<Theme>` that can be swapped at runtime. All public entry
points accept `(code, lang)` and return ratatui `Span`/`Line` vectors or
`None` when the language is unrecognized or the input exceeds safety
guardrails.
2. **Rendering consumers** -- `markdown_render` feeds fenced code blocks
through the engine; `diff_render` highlights Add/Delete content as a
whole file and Update hunks per-hunk (preserving parser state across
hunk lines). Both callers fall back to plain unstyled text when the
engine returns `None`.
3. **Theme lifecycle** -- at startup the config's `tui.theme` is
resolved to a syntect `Theme` via `set_theme_override`. At runtime the
`/theme` picker calls `set_syntax_theme` to swap themes live; on cancel
it restores the snapshot taken at open. On confirm it persists `[tui]
theme = "..."` to config.toml.
## Non-goals
- Inline diff highlighting (word-level change detection within a line).
- Semantic / LSP-backed highlighting.
- Theme authoring tooling; users supply standard `.tmTheme` files.
## Tradeoffs

|
| syntect over tree-sitter / arborium | ~1 MB binary increase for ~250
grammars + 32 themes; battle-tested crate powering widely-used tools
(`bat`, `delta`, `xi-editor`). tree-sitter would add ~12 MB for 20-30
languages or ~35 MB for full coverage. | Regex-based; less structurally
accurate than tree-sitter for some languages (e.g. language injections
like JS-in-HTML). |
| Global `RwLock<Theme>` | Enables live `/theme` preview without
threading Theme through every call site | Lock contention risk
(mitigated: reads vastly outnumber writes, single UI thread) |
| Skip background / italic / underline from themes | Terminal BG
preserved, avoids ugly rendering on some themes | Themes that rely on
these properties lose fidelity |
| Guardrails: 512 KB / 10k lines | Prevents pathological stalls on huge
diffs or pastes | Very large files render without color |

Key files:
- `tui/src/render/highlight.rs` -- engine, theme management, guardrails
- `tui/src/diff_render.rs` -- syntax-aware diff line wrapping
- `tui/src/theme_picker.rs` -- `/theme` command builder
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/list_selection_view.rs` -- side content panel,
callbacks
- `core/src/config/types.rs` -- `Tui::theme` field
- `core/src/config/edit.rs` -- `syntax_theme_edit()` helper
## Observability
- `tracing::warn` when a configured theme name cannot be resolved.
- `Config::startup_warnings` surfaces the same message as a TUI banner.
- `tracing::error` when persisting theme selection fails.
## Tests
- Unit tests in `highlight.rs`: language coverage, fallback behavior,
CRLF stripping, style conversion, guardrail enforcement, theme name
mapping exhaustiveness.
- Unit tests in `diff_render.rs`: snapshot gallery at multiple terminal
sizes (80x24, 94x35, 120x40), syntax-highlighted wrapping, large-diff
guardrail, rename-to-different-extension highlighting, parser state
preservation across hunk lines.
- Unit tests in `theme_picker.rs`: preview rendering (wide + narrow),
dim overlay on deletions, subtitle truncation, cancel-restore, fallback
for unavailable configured theme.
- Unit tests in `list_selection_view.rs`: side layout geometry, stacked
fallback, buffer clearing, cancel/selection-changed callbacks.
- Integration test in `lib.rs`: theme warning uses the final
(post-resume) config.
## Cargo Deny: Unmaintained Dependency Exceptions
This PR adds two `cargo deny` advisory exceptions for transitive
dependencies pulled in by `syntect v5.3.0`:
| Advisory | Crate | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| RUSTSEC-2024-0320 | `yaml-rust` | Unmaintained (maintainer
unreachable) |
| RUSTSEC-2025-0141 | `bincode` | Unmaintained (development ceased;
v1.3.3 considered complete) |
**Why this is safe in our usage:**
- Neither advisory describes a known security vulnerability. Both are
"unmaintained" notices only.
- `bincode` is used by syntect to deserialize pre-compiled syntax sets.
Again, these are **static vendored artifacts** baked into the binary at
build time. No user-supplied bincode data is ever deserialized. - Attack
surface is zero for both crates; exploitation would require a
supply-chain compromise of our own build artifacts.
- These exceptions can be removed when syntect migrates to `yaml-rust2`
and drops `bincode`, or when alternative crates are available upstream.
## Problem
Long URLs containing `/` and `-` characters are split across multiple
terminal lines by `textwrap`'s default hyphenation rules. This breaks
terminal link detection: emulators can no longer identify the URL as
clickable, and copy-paste yields a truncated fragment. The issue affects
every view that renders user or agent text — exec output, history cells,
markdown, the app-link setup screen, and the VT100 scrollback path.
A secondary bug compounds the first: `desired_height()` calculations
count logical lines rather than viewport rows. When a URL overflows its
line and wraps visually, the height budget is too small, causing content
to clip or leave gaps.
Here is how the complete URL is interpreted by the terminal before
(first line only) and after (complete URL):

## Mental model
The TUI now treats URL-like tokens as atomic units that must never be
split by the wrapping engine. Every call site that previously used
`word_wrap_*` has been migrated to `adaptive_wrap_*`, which inspects
each line for URL-like tokens and switches wrapping strategy
accordingly:
- **Non-URL lines** follow the existing `textwrap` path unchanged (word
boundaries, optional indentation, hyphenation).
- **URL-only lines** (with at most decorative markers like `│`, `-`,
`1.`) are emitted unwrapped so terminal link detection works; ratatui's
`Wrap { trim: false }` handles the final character wrap at render time.
- **Mixed lines** (URL + substantive non-URL prose) flow through
`adaptive_wrap_line` so prose wraps naturally at word boundaries while
URL tokens remain unsplit.
Height measurement everywhere now delegates to
`Paragraph::line_count(width)`, which accounts for the visual row cost
of overflowed lines. This single source of truth replaces ad-hoc line
counting in individual cells.
For terminal scrollback (the VT100 path that prints history when the TUI
exits), URL-only lines are emitted unwrapped so the terminal's own link
detector can find them. Mixed URL+prose lines use adaptive wrapping so
surrounding text wraps naturally. Continuation rows are pre-cleared to
avoid stale content artifacts.
## Non-goals
- Full RFC 3986 URL parsing. The detector is a conservative heuristic
that covers `scheme://host`, bare domains (`example.com/path`),
`localhost:port`, and IPv4 hosts. IPv6 (`[::1]:8080`) and exotic schemes
are intentionally excluded from v1.
- Changing wrapping behavior for non-URL content.
- Reflowing or reformatting existing terminal scrollback on resize.
## Tradeoffs
| Decision | Upside | Downside |
|----------|--------|----------|
| Heuristic URL detection vs. full parser | Fast, zero-alloc on the hot
path; conservative enough to reject file paths like `src/main.rs` |
False negatives on obscure URL formats (they get split as before) |
| Adaptive (three-path) wrapping | Non-URL lines are untouched — no
behavior change, no perf cost; mixed lines wrap prose naturally while
preserving URLs | Three wrapping strategies to reason about when
debugging layout |
| Row-based truncation with line-unit ellipsis | Accurate viewport
budget; stable "N lines omitted" count across terminal widths |
`truncate_lines_middle` is more complex (must compute per-line row cost)
|
| Unwrapped URL-only lines in scrollback | Terminal emulators detect
clickable links; copy-paste gets the full URL | TUI and scrollback
formatting diverge for URL-only lines |
| Default `desired_height` via `Paragraph::line_count` | DRY — most
cells inherit correct measurement | Cells with custom layout must
remember to override |

| `status/card.rs` | Migrate to `adaptive_wrap_lines` |
## Observability
- **Ellipsis message** in truncated exec output reports omitted count in
logical lines (stable across resize) rather than viewport rows
(fluctuates).
- URL detection is deterministic and stateless — no hidden caching or
memoization to go stale.
- Height mismatch bugs surface immediately as visual clipping or gaps;
the `Paragraph::line_count` path is the same code ratatui uses at render
time, so measurement and rendering cannot diverge.
## Tests
26 new unit tests across 7 files, covering:
- **URL integrity**: assert a URL-like token appears on exactly one
rendered line (not split across two).
- **Height accuracy**: compare `desired_height()` against
`Paragraph::line_count()` for URL-containing content.
- **Row-aware truncation**: verify ellipsis counts logical lines and
output fits within the row budget.
- **Scrollback rendering**: VT100 backend tests confirm prefix and URL
land on the same row; continuation rows are cleared; mixed URL+prose
lines wrap prose while preserving URL tokens.
- **Mixed URL+prose detection**: `line_has_mixed_url_and_non_url_tokens`
correctly distinguishes lines with substantive non-URL text from lines
with only decorative markers alongside a URL.
- **Heuristic correctness**: positive matches (`https://...`,
`example.com/path`, `localhost:3000/api`, `192.168.1.1:8080/health`) and
negative matches (`src/main.rs`, `foo/bar`, `hello-world`).
## Risks and open items
1. **URL-like tokens in code output** (e.g. `example.com/api` inside a
JSON blob) will trigger URL-preserving wrap on that line. This is
acceptable — the worst case is a slightly wider line, not broken output.
2. **Very long non-URL tokens on a URL line** can only break at
character boundaries (the custom splitter emits all char indices for
non-URL words). On extremely narrow terminals this could overflow, but
narrow terminals already degrade gracefully.
3. **No IPv6 support** — `[::1]:8080/path` will be treated as a non-URL
and may get split. Can be added later without API changes.
Fixes#5457
Fixes#11852
Resume replay was applying transient runtime events (`TurnStarted`,
`StreamError`) as if they were live, which could leave the TUI stuck in
a stale `Working` / `Reconnecting...` state after resuming an
interrupted reconnect.
This change makes replay transcript-oriented for these events by:
- skipping retry-status restoration for replayed non-stream events
- ignoring replayed `TurnStarted` for task-running state
- ignoring replayed `StreamError` for reconnect/status UI
Also adds TUI regression tests and snapshot coverage for the interrupted
reconnect replay case.
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`

## Summary
- add a Plan implementation path in the TUI that lets users choose
reasoning before switching to Default mode and implementing
- add Plan-mode reasoning scope handling (Plan-only override vs
all-modes default), including config/schema/docs plumbing for
`plan_mode_reasoning_effort`
- remove the hardcoded Plan preset medium default and make the reasoning
popup reflect the active Plan override as `(current)`
- split the collaboration-mode switch notification UI hint into #12307

## Codex author
`codex resume 019c78a2-726b-7fe3-adac-3fa4523dcc2a`
- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
## Problem
The TUI's "edit queued message" shortcut (Alt+Up) is either silently
swallowed or recognized as another key combination by Apple Terminal,
Warp, and VSCode's integrated terminal on macOS. Users in those
environments see the hint but pressing the keys does nothing.
## Mental model
When a model turn is in progress the user can still type follow-up
messages. These are queued and displayed below the composer with a hint
line showing how to pop the most recent one back into the editor. The
hint text and the actual key handler must agree on which shortcut is
used, and that shortcut must actually reach the TUI—i.e. it must not be
intercepted by the host terminal.
Three terminals are known to intercept Alt+Up: Apple Terminal (remaps it
to cursor movement), Warp (consumes it for its own command palette), and
VSCode (maps it to "move line up"). For these we use Shift+Left instead.

## Non-goals
- Making the binding user-configurable at runtime (deferred to a broader
keybinding-config effort).
- Remapping any other shortcuts that might be terminal-specific.
## Tradeoffs
- **Exhaustive match instead of a wildcard default.** The
`queued_message_edit_binding_for_terminal` function explicitly lists
every `TerminalName` variant. This is intentional: adding a new terminal
to the enum will produce a compile error, forcing the author to decide
which binding that terminal should use.
- **Binding lives on `ChatWidget`, hint lives on `QueuedUserMessages`.**
The key event handler that actually acts on the press is in
`ChatWidget`, but the rendered hint text is inside `QueuedUserMessages`.
These are kept in sync by `ChatWidget` calling
`bottom_pane.set_queued_message_edit_binding(self.queued_message_edit_binding)`
during construction. A mismatch would show the wrong hint but would not
lose data.

No new crates or public API surface. The only cross-crate dependency
added is `codex_core::terminal::{TerminalName, terminal_info}`, which
already existed for telemetry.
## Observability
No new logging. Terminal detection already emits a `tracing::debug!` log
line at startup with the detected terminal name, which is sufficient to
diagnose binding mismatches.
## Tests
- Existing `alt_up_edits_most_recent_queued_message` test is preserved
and explicitly sets the Alt+Up binding to isolate from the host
terminal.
- New parameterized async tests verify Shift+Left works for Apple
Terminal, Warp, and VSCode.
- A sync unit test asserts the mapping table covers the three special
terminals (Shift+Left) and that iTerm2 still gets Alt+Up.
Fixes#4490
## Summary

## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

## Summary
Simplify network approvals by removing per-attempt proxy correlation and
moving to session-level approval dedupe keyed by (host, protocol, port).
Instead of encoding attempt IDs into proxy credentials/URLs, we now
treat approvals as a destination policy decision.
- Concurrent calls to the same destination share one approval prompt.
- Different destinations (or same host on different ports) get separate
prompts.
- Allow once approves the current queued request group only.
- Allow for session caches that (host, protocol, port) and auto-allows
future matching requests.
- Never policy continues to deny without prompting.
Example:
- 3 calls:
- a.com (line 443)
- b.com (line 443)
- a.com (line 443)
=> 2 prompts total (a, b), second a waits on the first decision.
- a.com:80 is treated separately from a.com line 443
## Testing
- `just fmt` (in `codex-rs`)
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::network_approval::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (unit tests pass; existing
integration-suite failures remain in this environment)
We now write MCP tools from installed apps to disk cache so that they
can be picked up instantly at startup. We still do a fresh fetch from
remote MCP server but it's non blocking unless there's a cache miss.
- [x] Store apps tool cache in disk to reduce startup time.
TL;DR
Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config support so users can supply a
local model catalog override from a JSON file path (including adding new
models) without backend changes.
### Problem
Codex previously had no clean client-side way to replace/overlay model
catalog data for local testing of model metadata and new model entries.
### Fix
- Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config field (JSON file path).
- Apply catalog entries when resolving `ModelInfo`:
1. Base resolved model metadata (remote/fallback)
2. Catalog overlay from `model_catalog_json`
3. Existing global top-level overrides (`model_context_window`,
`model_supports_reasoning_summaries`, etc.)
### Note
Will revisit per-field overrides in a follow-up
### Tests
Added tests
zsh fork PR stack:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12051👈
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052
With upcoming support for a fork of zsh that allows us to intercept
`execve` and run execpolicy checks for each subcommand as part of a
`CommandExecution`, it will be possible for there to be multiple
approval requests for a shell command like `/path/to/zsh -lc 'git status
&& rg \"TODO\" src && make test'`.
To support that, this PR introduces a new `approval_id` field across
core, protocol, and app-server so that we can associate approvals
properly for subcommands.
## Summary
- change the cwd-change prompt (shown when resuming/forking across
different directories) so `Ctrl+C`/`Ctrl+D` exits the session instead of
implicitly selecting "Use session directory"
- introduce explicit prompt and resolver exit outcomes so this intent is
propagated cleanly through both startup resume/fork and in-app `/resume`
flows
- add a unit test that verifies `Ctrl+C` exits rather than selecting an
option
## Why
Previously, pressing `Ctrl+C` on this prompt silently picked one of the
options, which made it hard to abort. This aligns the prompt with the
expected quit behavior.
## Codex author
`codex resume 019c6d39-bbfb-7dc3-8008-1388a054e86d`
rm `remote_models` feature flag.
We see issues like #11527 when a user has `remote_models` disabled, as
we always use the default fallback `ModelInfo`. This causes issues with
model performance.
Builds on #11690, which helps by warning the user when they are using
the default fallback. This PR will make that happen much less frequently
as an accidental consequence of disabling `remote_models`.
Summary
- wait for the initial session startup loop to finish and handle exit
before waiting for the first message in fresh sessions
- propagate AppRunControl::Exit to return immediately when
initialization fails
Summary
- filter command popup builtins to remove any `/debug*` entries so they
stay usable but are not listed
- added regression tests to ensure the popup hides debug commands while
dispatch still resolves them
The `tui.animations` switch should gate all animations in the TUI, but a
recent change introduced a regression that didn't include the gate. This
makes it difficult to use the TUI with a screen reader.
This fix addresses #11856
Summary
- rename the `collab` handlers and UI files to `multi_agents` to match
the new naming
- update module references and specs so the handlers and TUI widgets
consistently use the renamed files
- keep the existing functionality while aligning file and module names
with the multi-agent terminology
### Description
#### Summary
Adds the TUI UX layer for structured network approvals
#### What changed
- Updated approval overlay to display network-specific approval context
(host/protocol).
- Added/updated TUI wiring so approval prompts show correct network
messaging.
- Added tests covering the new approval overlay behavior.
#### Why
Core orchestration can now request structured network approvals; this
ensures users see clear, contextual prompts in the TUI.
#### Notes
- UX behavior activates only when network approval context is present.

## Summary
This PR makes app-server-provided image URLs first-class attachments in
TUI, so they survive resume/backtrack/history recall and are resubmitted
correctly.

/>
In both history and composer, remote images are rendered as normal
`[Image #N]` placeholders, with numbering unified with local images.
## What changed
- Plumb remote image URLs through TUI message state:
- `UserHistoryCell`
- `BacktrackSelection`
- `ChatComposerHistory::HistoryEntry`
- `ChatWidget::UserMessage`
- Show remote images as placeholder rows inside the composer box (above
textarea), and in history cells.
- Support keyboard selection/deletion for remote image rows in composer
(`Up`/`Down`, `Delete`/`Backspace`).
- Preserve remote-image-only turns in local composer history (Up/Down
recall), including restore after backtrack.
- Ensure submit/queue/backtrack resubmit include remote images in model
input (`UserInput::Image`), and keep request shape stable for
remote-image-only turns.
- Keep image numbering contiguous across remote + local images:
- remote images occupy `[Image #1]..[Image #M]`
- local images start at `[Image #M+1]`
- deletion renumbers consistently.
- In protocol conversion, increment shared image index for remote images
too, so mixed remote/local image tags stay in a single sequence.
- Simplify restore logic to trust in-memory attachment order (no
placeholder-number parsing path).
- Backtrack/replay rollback handling now queues trims through
`AppEvent::ApplyThreadRollback` and syncs transcript overlay/deferred
lines after trims, so overlay/transcript state stays consistent.
- Trim trailing blank rendered lines from user history rendering to
avoid oversized blank padding.
## Docs + tests
- Updated: `docs/tui-chat-composer.md` (remote image flow,
selection/deletion, numbering offsets)
- Added/updated tests across `tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`,
`tui/src/app.rs`, `tui/src/app_backtrack.rs`, `tui/src/history_cell.rs`,
and `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`
- Added snapshot coverage for remote image composer states, including
deleting the first of two remote images.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

Currently, if there are syntax errors detected in the starlark rules
file, the entire policy is silently ignored by the CLI. The app server
correctly emits a message that can be displayed in a GUI.
This PR changes the CLI (both the TUI and non-interactive exec) to fail
when the rules file can't be parsed. It then prints out an error message
and exits with a non-zero exit code. This is consistent with the
handling of errors in the config file.
This addresses #11603
## Summary
- add a shared `codex-core` sleep inhibitor that uses native macOS IOKit
assertions (`IOPMAssertionCreateWithName` / `IOPMAssertionRelease`)
instead of spawning `caffeinate`
- wire sleep inhibition to turn lifecycle in `tui` (`TurnStarted`
enables; `TurnComplete` and abort/error finalization disable)
- gate this behavior behind a `/experimental` feature toggle
(`[features].prevent_idle_sleep`) instead of a dedicated `[tui]` config
flag
- expose the toggle in `/experimental` on macOS; keep it under
development on other platforms
- keep behavior no-op on non-macOS targets

## Codex Electron vs this PR (full stack path)
- Codex Electron app requests sleep blocking with
`powerSaveBlocker.start("prevent-app-suspension")`:
-
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex/codex-vscode/electron/src/electron-message-handler.ts
- Electron maps that string to Chromium wake lock type
`kPreventAppSuspension`:
-
https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/shell/browser/api/electron_api_power_save_blocker.cc
- Chromium macOS backend maps wake lock types to IOKit assertion
constants and calls IOKit:
- `kPreventAppSuspension -> kIOPMAssertionTypeNoIdleSleep`
- `kPreventDisplaySleep / kPreventDisplaySleepAllowDimming ->
kIOPMAssertionTypeNoDisplaySleep`
-
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/main/services/device/wake_lock/power_save_blocker/power_save_blocker_mac.cc
## Why this PR uses a different macOS constant name
- This PR uses `"PreventUserIdleSystemSleep"` directly, via
`IOPMAssertionCreateWithName`, in
`codex-rs/core/src/sleep_inhibitor.rs`.
- Apple’s IOKit header documents `kIOPMAssertionTypeNoIdleSleep` as
deprecated and recommends `kIOPMAssertPreventUserIdleSystemSleep` /
`kIOPMAssertionTypePreventUserIdleSystemSleep`:
-
https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/IOKitUser/blob/IOKitUser-100222.60.2/pwr_mgt.subproj/IOPMLib.h#L1000-L1030
- So Chromium and this PR are using different constant names, but
semantically equivalent idle-system-sleep prevention behavior.
## Future platform support
The architecture is intentionally set up for multi-platform extensions:
- UI code (`tui`) only calls `SleepInhibitor::set_turn_running(...)` on
turn lifecycle boundaries.
- Platform-specific behavior is isolated in
`codex-rs/core/src/sleep_inhibitor.rs` behind `cfg(...)` blocks.
- Feature exposure is centralized in `core/src/features.rs` and surfaced
via `/experimental`.
- Adding new OS backends should not require additional TUI wiring; only
the backend internals and feature stage metadata need to change.
Potential follow-up implementations:
- Windows:
- Add a backend using Win32 power APIs
(`SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED)` as
baseline).
- Optionally move to `PowerCreateRequest` / `PowerSetRequest` /
`PowerClearRequest` for richer assertion semantics.
- Linux:
- Add a backend using logind inhibitors over D-Bus
(`org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Inhibit` with `what="sleep"`).
- Keep a no-op fallback where logind/D-Bus is unavailable.
This PR keeps the cross-platform API surface minimal so future PRs can
add Windows/Linux support incrementally with low churn.

## Updated PR Description (Ready To Paste)
## Problem
When a sub-agent thread emits `ShutdownComplete`, the TUI switches back
to the primary thread.
That was also happening for user-requested exits (for example `Ctrl+C`),
which could prevent a
clean app exit and unexpectedly resurrect the main thread.
## Mental model
The app has one primary thread and one active thread. A non-primary
active thread shutting down
usually means "agent died, fail back to primary," but during
`ExitMode::ShutdownFirst` shutdown
means "the user is exiting," not "recover this session."
## Non-goals
No change to thread lifecycle, thread-manager ownership, or shutdown
protocol wire format.
No behavioral changes to non-shutdown events.
## Tradeoffs
This adds a small local marker (`pending_shutdown_exit_thread_id`)
instead of inferring intent
from event timing. It is deterministic and simple, but relies on
correctly setting and clearing
that marker around exit.
## Architecture
`App` tracks which thread is intentionally being shut down for exit.
`active_non_primary_shutdown_target` centralizes failover eligibility
for `ShutdownComplete` and
skips failover when shutdown matches the pending-exit thread.
`handle_active_thread_event` handles non-primary failover before generic
forwarding and clears the
pending-exit marker only when the matching active thread completes
shutdown.
## Observability
User-facing info/error messages continue to indicate whether failover to
the main thread succeeded.
The shutdown-intent path is now explicitly documented inline for easier
debugging.
## Tests
Added targeted tests for `active_non_primary_shutdown_target` covering
non-shutdown events,
primary-thread shutdown, non-primary shutdown failover, pending exit on
active thread (no failover),
and pending exit for another thread (still failover).

## Summary
This PR delivers the first small, shippable step toward model-visible
state diffing by making
`TurnContextItem` more complete and standardizing how it is built.
Specifically, it:
- Adds persisted network context to `TurnContextItem`.
- Introduces a single canonical `TurnContext -> TurnContextItem`
conversion path.
- Routes existing rollout write sites through that canonical conversion
helper.
No context injection/diff behavior changes are included in this PR.
## Why this change
The design goal is to make `TurnContextItem` the canonical source of
truth for context-diff
decisions.
Before this PR:
- `TurnContextItem` did not include all TurnContext-derived environment
inputs needed for v1
completeness.
- Construction was duplicated at multiple write sites.
This PR addresses both with a minimal, reviewable change.
## Changes
### 1) Extend `TurnContextItem` with network state
- Added `TurnContextNetworkItem { allowed_domains, denied_domains }`.
- Added `network: Option<TurnContextNetworkItem>` to `TurnContextItem`.
- Kept backward compatibility by making the new field optional and
skipped when absent.
Files:
- `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`
### 2) Canonical conversion helper
- Added `TurnContext::to_turn_context_item(collaboration_mode)` in core.
- Added internal helper to derive network fields from
`config_layer_stack.requirements().network`.
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
### 3) Use canonical conversion at rollout write sites
- Replaced ad hoc `TurnContextItem { ... }` construction with
`to_turn_context_item(...)` in:
- sampling request path
- compaction path
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
### 4) Update fixtures/tests for new optional field
- Updated existing `TurnContextItem` literals in tests to include
`network: None`.
- Added protocol tests for:
- deserializing old payloads with no `network`
- serializing when `network` is present
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/resume_warning.rs`
- No replay/diff logic changes.
- Persisted rollout `TurnContextItem` now carries additional network
context when available.
- Older rollout lines without `network` remain readable.
## Why
We currently carry multiple permission-related concepts directly on
`Config` for shell/unified-exec behavior (`approval_policy`,
`sandbox_policy`, `network`, `shell_environment_policy`,
`windows_sandbox_mode`).
Consolidating these into one in-memory struct makes permission handling
easier to reason about and sets up the next step: supporting named
permission profiles (`[permissions.PROFILE_NAME]`) without changing
behavior now.
This change is mostly mechanical: it updates existing callsites to go
through `config.permissions`, but it does not yet refactor those
callsites to take a single `Permissions` value in places where multiple
permission fields are still threaded separately.
This PR intentionally **does not** change the on-disk `config.toml`
format yet and keeps compatibility with legacy config keys.
## What Changed
- Introduced `Permissions` in `core/src/config/mod.rs`.
- Added `Config::permissions` and moved effective runtime permission
fields under it:
- `approval_policy`
- `sandbox_policy`
- `network`
- `shell_environment_policy`
- `windows_sandbox_mode`
- Updated config loading/building so these effective values are still
derived from the same existing config inputs and constraints.
- Updated Windows sandbox helpers/resolution to read/write via
`permissions`.
- Threaded the new field through all permission consumers across core
runtime, app-server, CLI/exec, TUI, and sandbox summary code.
- Updated affected tests to reference `config.permissions.*`.
- Renamed the struct/field from
`EffectivePermissions`/`effective_permissions` to
`Permissions`/`permissions` and aligned variable naming accordingly.
## Verification
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server
-p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
- `cargo build -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p
codex-app-server -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
There is an edge case where a directory is not readable by the sandbox.
In practice, we've seen very little of it, but it can happen so this
slash command unlocks users when it does.
Future idea is to make this a tool that the agent knows about so it can
be more integrated.
This PR adds an experimental `persist_extended_history` bool flag to
app-server thread APIs so rollout logs can retain a richer set of
EventMsgs for non-lossy Thread > Turn > ThreadItems reconstruction (i.e.
on `thread/resume`).
### Motivation
Today, our rollout recorder only persists a small subset (e.g. user
message, reasoning, assistant message) of `EventMsg` types, dropping a
good number (like command exec, file change, etc.) that are important
for reconstructing full item history for `thread/resume`, `thread/read`,
and `thread/fork`.
Some clients want to be able to resume a thread without lossiness. This
lossiness is primarily a UI thing, since what the model sees are
`ResponseItem` and not `EventMsg`.
### Approach
This change introduces an opt-in `persist_full_history` flag to preserve
those events when you start/resume/fork a thread (defaults to `false`).
This is done by adding an `EventPersistenceMode` to the rollout
recorder:
- `Limited` (existing behavior, default)
- `Extended` (new opt-in behavior)
In `Extended` mode, persist additional `EventMsg` variants needed for
non-lossy app-server `ThreadItem` reconstruction. We now store the
following ThreadItems that we didn't before:
- web search
- command execution
- patch/file changes
- MCP tool calls
- image view calls
- collab tool outcomes
- context compaction
- review mode enter/exit
For **command executions** in particular, we truncate the output using
the existing `truncate_text` from core to store an upper bound of 10,000
bytes, which is also the default value for truncating tool outputs shown
to the model. This keeps the size of the rollout file and command
execution items returned over the wire reasonable.
And we also persist `EventMsg::Error` which we can now map back to the
Turn's status and populates the Turn's error metadata.
#### Updates to EventMsgs
To truly make `thread/resume` non-lossy, we also needed to persist the
`status` on `EventMsg::CommandExecutionEndEvent` and
`EventMsg::PatchApplyEndEvent`. Previously it was not obvious whether a
command failed or was declined (similar for apply_patch). These
EventMsgs were never persisted before so I made it a required field.
