## Summary
- make `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL=none` map to an explicit disabled
environment mode instead of inferring from a missing URL
- expose environment capabilities (`exec_enabled`, `filesystem_enabled`)
so tool building can gate behavior explicitly and future
multi-environment work has a clearer seam
- suppress env-backed tools when the relevant capability is unavailable,
including exec tools, `js_repl`, `apply_patch`, `list_dir`, and
`view_image`
- keep handler/runtime backstops so disabled environments still reject
execution if a tool path somehow bypasses registration
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools
disabled_environment_omits_environment_backed_tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools
environment_capabilities_gate_exec_and_filesystem_tools_independently`
- remote devbox Bazel build via `codex-applied-devbox`:
`//codex-rs/cli:cli`
## Why
`codex-core` already owns too much of the tool stack, and `AGENTS.md`
explicitly pushes us to move shared code out of `codex-core` instead of
letting it keep growing. This PR takes the next incremental step in
moving `core/src/tools` toward `codex-rs/tools` by extracting
low-coupling tool configuration and image-detail gating logic into
`codex-tools`.
That gives later extraction work a cleaner boundary to build on without
trying to move the entire tools subtree in one shot.
## What changed
- moved `ToolsConfig`, `ToolsConfigParams`, shell backend config, and
unified-exec session selection from `core/src/tools/spec.rs` into
`codex-tools`
- moved original image-detail gating and normalization into
`codex-tools`
- updated `codex-core` to consume the new `codex-tools` exports and pass
a rendered agent-type description instead of raw role config
- kept `codex-rs/tools/src/lib.rs` exports-only, with extracted unit
tests living in sibling `*_tests.rs` modules
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::spec::`
