## Why
Selected capability roots belong to the executor filesystem, not the
app-server host. Converting their path strings into the host's native
`Path` breaks whenever the two machines use different path conventions,
such as a Windows executor behind a Unix app-server.
This PR establishes `PathUri` as the selected-plugin boundary so the
executor remains authoritative for its paths.
## What changed
- Require `selectedCapabilityRoots[].location.path` to be a canonical
`file:` URI and deserialize it directly as `PathUri`; native path
strings are rejected.
- Update the app-server schema, generated TypeScript, examples, and
request coverage for the URI contract.
- Keep selected roots, resolved plugin locations, manifest paths, and
manifest resources as `PathUri`.
- Inspect and read plugin roots and manifests only through the selected
environment's `ExecutorFileSystem`.
- Parse executor manifests with the shared URI-native parser from #29620
instead of projecting them onto the host filesystem.
- Enforce resource containment lexically and preserve the root URI's
POSIX or Windows path convention.
- Cover foreign Windows plugin roots and URI-native manifest resources.
```text
thread/start
selectedCapabilityRoots[].location.path = "file:///C:/plugins/demo"
| PathUri
v
ExecutorFileSystem
|
+--> plugin.json
+--> manifest resources
```
This PR stops at the shared selected-plugin representation. The next two
PRs remove the remaining host-path projections in the skill and MCP
consumers.
## Stack
1. #29614 — add lexical `PathUri` containment.
2. #29620 — share URI-native manifest path resolution.
3. **This PR** — keep selected plugin roots and resources URI-native.
4. #29626 — load executor skills without host path conversion.
5. #29628 — resolve executor MCP working directories without host path
conversion.
## Why
PR #29494 made context-window IDs visible to the model by wrapping the
token-budget window payload in `<context_window>`, but rollout JSONL
consumers still could not see the initial window identity by tailing the
session file. Compacted rollout items carry window IDs only after
compaction has happened, so a session with no compaction had no durable
JSONL record for window 0.
This change gives tailing consumers a stable initial-window record at
session creation time.
## What Changed
- Added `session_meta.context_window.window_id` for the initial
context-window identity.
- `CreateThreadParams` now requires `initial_window_id: String`, so
thread-store callers cannot accidentally create new threads without
window-0 metadata.
- Live thread creation derives the persisted initial window ID from the
same `AutoCompactWindowIds` used to initialize `SessionState`, keeping
runtime state and JSONL metadata aligned.
- Rollout reconstruction uses `session_meta.context_window.window_id` as
the initial-window fallback and derives `window_number = 0`,
`first_window_id = window_id`, and `previous_window_id = None`
internally.
- Fork reconstruction intentionally uses the same rollout reconstruction
path; consumers that need to distinguish copied initial-window metadata
can use the rollout `thread_id`.
- Legacy compactions without `window_number` still use compaction-count
fallback accounting instead of being reset to window 0 by the
initial-window fallback.
- Compacted rollout metadata still takes precedence once compaction
records exist, preserving the richer chain fields there.
## JSONL Shape
Real rollout JSONL is one object per line. This example is expanded for
readability, but shows the new initial `session_meta.context_window`
record followed by the existing compacted rollout item shape that also
carries window IDs:
```jsonl
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"type": "session_meta",
"payload": {
"session_id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"cwd": "/repo",
"originator": "codex",
"cli_version": "0.0.0",
"source": "cli",
"model_provider": "<MODEL_PROVIDER>",
"context_window": {
"window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
}
...
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:34:56.000Z",
"type": "compacted",
"payload": {
"message": "<COMPACTION_SUMMARY>",
"replacement_history": [
"..."
],
"window_number": 1,
"first_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"previous_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"window_id": "<NEXT_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
```
The nested `context_window` object is intentional: it gives rollout
consumers a stable namespace for context-window metadata while only
writing the non-derivable initial `window_id`. For the initial window,
`window_number`, `first_window_id`, and `previous_window_id` are derived
internally instead of being written to the rollout.

## Why
view_image needs to support foreign OS remote executors.
## What
- resolve image paths against the selected environment as `PathUri` and
read them through that environment's filesystem
- keep app-server's public path field wire-compatible as
`LegacyAppPathString`, with purpose-specific UI rendering
- cover relative and absolute target-native paths in the core
integration test and run the full `view_image` suite under wine-exec
without skips
## Summary
Resuming a persisted thread currently deep-clones its complete rollout
history several times. `InitialHistory` is retained for the app-server
response, copied into thread persistence, and copied again by read-only
accessors. These copies scale with the complete rollout rather than the
bounded model context and add measurable latency for large sessions.
This change stores resumed rollout history in `Arc<Vec<RolloutItem>>`.
Rollout loading wraps the parsed vector once, while app-server response
construction, session initialization, and thread persistence share it
through inexpensive `Arc` clones. Read-only history access now returns a
borrowed slice, and fork paths use `Arc::unwrap_or_clone` where they
genuinely need mutable ownership. Rollout reconstruction also consumes
its temporary context instead of cloning the reconstructed model
history.
The serialized representation remains unchanged. In an artificial 123 MB
rollout benchmark, sharing resumed history reduced cold resume latency
by roughly 9–10%. The affected crates compile with their test targets,
all 80 thread-store tests pass, and the Bazel dependency lock remains
valid.
When using Responses Lite, we should all use `additional_tools` and a
developer item instead of the top level tools array & instructions
field. This keeps things 1-to-1.
Forced namespacing for _all_ tools will land in a following PR after
some coordination & fixes in Responses API (around collisions & return
items).
The goal is to eventually expand the scope of this to _all_ requests
from codex, but that will require larger coordination across providers &
slower rollout.
## Summary
- read the request-scoped safety-buffering treatment from HTTP response
headers and per-turn WebSocket metadata through one shared header parser
- combine that treatment with Responses API safety-buffering signals
- propagate `showBufferingUi` and nullable `fasterModel` through the
existing `model/safetyBuffering/updated` app-server notification
- update the app-server documentation and generated JSON and TypeScript
schemas
The public implementation contains no model mapping or real model
identifier. Tests and protocol examples use generic `current-model` and
`faster-model` placeholders only.
## Dependencies
- server-side treatment evaluation:
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1060247
- initial Responses API safety-buffering propagation:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29371
- Codex App UI: https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1057789
## Validation
- Codex API tests: 129 passed
- focused Codex core safety-buffering integration test passed
- app-server protocol tests passed after regenerating schema fixtures
- Clippy fix and repository formatting completed successfully
The broader app-server run compiled all changed crates and completed
with 1,269 passing tests. Its remaining failures were unrelated
environment limitations: macOS sandbox application was denied, one
expected test binary was unavailable, and several existing subprocess
tests timed out as a result.
## Why
Amazon Bedrock returns a `401 Unauthorized` response containing
`Signature expired:` when an AWS credential, including a short-lived
`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`, has expired. Codex currently surfaces that
response as a generic `unexpected status` error, which does not explain
how to recover.
Environment-provided bearer tokens cannot be refreshed automatically, so
the error should direct users to refresh their AWS credentials or
replace or remove the environment token and restart Codex. This
classification belongs to the Amazon Bedrock provider so similar
responses from other providers retain their existing behavior.
## What changed
- Add a synchronous `ModelProvider::map_api_error` hook that defaults to
the existing provider-neutral API error mapping, and route model
request, stream, WebSocket, and terminal unauthorized errors through the
active provider.
- Override the hook for Amazon Bedrock. After preserving the structured
status, body, URL, and request metadata, recognize `401` responses
containing `Signature expired:` and attach actionable credential
guidance.
- Keep `codex-protocol` provider-neutral by representing the guidance as
an optional `user_message`. Error rendering prefers this message while
continuing to append the URL, request ID, Cloudflare ray, and
authorization diagnostics.
- Add model-provider coverage for expired signatures and negative cases,
core coverage for provider dispatch after unauthorized recovery, and a
TUI snapshot for the rendered error.
## Testing
Tested with a real request with expired bedrock key:

## Description
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355 and
starts assigning `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` to
durable Responses API items created during a turn.
The goal is that those items keep the `turn_id` that introduced them
when Codex resends stateless HTTP context, reconstructs history for
resume/fork paths, or reuses websocket response state.
## What changed
- Set `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` when missing
as response items enter durable history, initial/replacement history,
inter-agent communication history, and local compaction summaries.
- Preserve existing item turn IDs instead of overwriting them during
persistence, resume reconstruction, compaction, forked history, and
websocket incremental reuse.
- Keep `compaction_trigger` fieldless because it is a request control,
not a durable response item.
- Update focused history/request assertions and fixtures for stateless
requests, websocket incrementals, compaction, thread injection, prompt
debug, and related CI coverage.
Token-budget initial context carries thread and context-window lineage
that the model should treat as one structured context-window block.
Wrapping it in `<context_window>` makes that boundary explicit while
preserving the existing window id content.
Before this change, the window identifiers were injected as an untagged
developer text fragment:
```text
Thread id <THREAD_ID>.
First context window id: <FIRST_WINDOW_ID>
Current context window id: <WINDOW_ID>
Previous context window id: <PREVIOUS_WINDOW_ID>
```
After this change, the same payload is wrapped as a context-window
block:
```text
<context_window>
Thread id: <THREAD_ID>
First context window id: <FIRST_WINDOW_ID>
Current context window id: <WINDOW_ID>
Previous context window id: <PREVIOUS_WINDOW_ID>
</context_window>
```
This adds shared `CONTEXT_WINDOW_*_TAG` protocol constants, updates
`TokenBudgetContext` to render with those markers, treats the new
wrapper as contextual developer content when mapping history, and
refreshes the token-budget request-shape assertions and snapshot.
Verification:
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `just test -p codex-core
recognizes_context_window_as_contextual_developer_content`
# Summary
Codex required every ChatGPT account to have an email address. A
service-account personal access token can return valid account metadata
without one, so PAT login failed while decoding the metadata response.
This change makes email optional in the account metadata type that owns
it and preserves that absence through authentication, provider account
state, the app-server API, generated clients, and TUI bootstrap.
Existing accounts with email addresses keep the same behavior.
## Behavior-changing call sites
| Call site | Behavior after this change |
| --- | --- |
| `login/src/auth/personal_access_token.rs` | PAT metadata accepts a
missing or null email and retains `None`. |
| `agent-identity/src/lib.rs` | Agent Identity JWT claims accept an
omitted email. |
| `login/src/auth/storage.rs` and `login/src/auth/agent_identity.rs` |
Stored and managed Agent Identity records carry `Option<String>`.
Deserialization maps the legacy empty-string sentinel to `None`. |
| `login/src/auth/manager.rs` | `get_account_email` returns the stored
option, and managed identity bootstrap no longer converts `None` to an
empty string. |
| `model-provider/src/provider.rs` and `protocol/src/account.rs` | A
ChatGPT provider account requires a plan type but may carry no email. |
| `app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/account.rs` | `account/read`
keeps the `email` field on the wire and returns `null` when the account
has no email. Generated TypeScript and JSON schemas describe a required,
nullable field. |
| `sdk/python/src/openai_codex/generated/v2_all.py` | The generated
Python `ChatgptAccount` model accepts `None` for email. |
| `tui/src/app_server_session.rs` | Email-less ChatGPT accounts
bootstrap normally, keep external feedback routing, omit account-email
telemetry, and display the plan in account status. |
## Design decisions
- Missing email remains `None` at every layer. The code never uses an
empty string as a substitute.
- The app-server response includes `"email": null` instead of omitting
the field. Clients retain a stable response shape.
- Plan type remains required for provider account state. This change
relaxes only the email assumption.
## Testing
Tests: affected test targets compile, scoped Clippy and formatting pass,
a focused TUI snapshot covers plan-only account status, real
before/after PAT login smoke covers metadata without email, app-server
smoke covers `account/read` with `email: null`, and a regression smoke
covers an existing email-bearing PAT. Unit tests run in CI.
## Evidence
Visual smoke evidence will be attached here.
## Description
This PR cuts Codex over from generic `ResponseItem.metadata` (introduced
here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355) to
`ResponseItem.internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough`, which is the
blessed path and has strongly-typed keys.
For now we have to drop this MAv2 usage of `metadata`:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28561 until we figure out where
that should live.
## Why
Multi-agent delegation policy was split across `multiAgentMode`,
`features.multi_agent_mode`, and `usage_hint_enabled`. These controls
could disagree: a requested mode could be downgraded by the feature
flag, and disabling usage hints also disabled mode instructions.
Some clients also need multi-agent tools without adding
delegation-policy text to model context. The previous two-mode API could
not express that directly.
## What changed
`multiAgentMode` is now the only live delegation-policy control:
| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `none` | Keep multi-agent tools available without adding mode
instructions. |
| `explicitRequestOnly` | Only delegate after an explicit user request.
|
| `proactive` | Delegate when parallel work materially improves speed or
quality. |
- new threads default to `explicitRequestOnly`; omitting the mode on
later turns keeps the current value
- thread start, resume, fork, and settings responses always report the
concrete current mode instead of `null`
- mode selection remains sticky across turns and resume
- usage-hint text no longer controls whether mode instructions apply
- `features.multi_agent_mode` and `usage_hint_enabled` remain accepted
as ignored compatibility settings so existing configs continue to load
- app-server documentation and generated schemas describe the three-mode
API

## Summary
A cold-resumed subagent kept its durable thread ID but could receive a
new session ID, splitting one agent tree across multiple sessions after
a restart.
Persist the root session ID in every rollout `SessionMeta`, carry it
through thread creation, and restore it before initializing the resumed
`Session` and `AgentControl`.
## Behavior
For a nested agent tree:
```text
root session R
parent thread P
child thread C
```
The child rollout stores:
```text
session_id: R
parent_thread_id: P
id: C
```
After a cold resume, the child still belongs to root session `R` while
its immediate parent remains `P`. The integration coverage uses distinct
values for all three IDs so it catches restoring the session from
`parent_thread_id`.
## Legacy rollouts
Previous rollouts have `id` but no `session_id`. `SessionMetaLine`
deserialization treats a missing `session_id` as `id`, keeping those
files readable, listable, and resumable. When a legacy subagent is
resumed through its root, that synthesized child ID no longer overrides
the inherited root-scoped `AgentControl`. New rollouts always persist
the explicit root session ID.
Responses API safety buffering metadata currently stops at the transport
boundary, so app-server clients cannot render the in-progress safety
review state.
This change:
- decodes and deduplicates `safety_buffering` metadata from Responses
API SSE and WebSocket events without suppressing the original response
event
- emits a typed core event containing the requested model plus backend
use cases and reasons
- forwards that event as `turn/safetyBuffering/updated` through
app-server v2 and updates generated protocol schemas
- keeps the side-channel event out of persisted rollouts and turn timing
This supports the Codex Apps buffering UX and depends on the Responses
API backend work in https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044569 and
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044571.

## Why
The rendered `<token_budget>` fragment identifies the thread and current
context window, but it does not expose enough lineage to identify the
first window in the thread or the immediately preceding window. Those
IDs also need to remain stable across compaction, resume, and rollback.
## What changed
- Track first, previous, and current UUIDv7 context-window IDs in
auto-compaction state.
- Render `thread_id`, `first_window_id`, `previous_window_id`, and the
current window ID in the full `<token_budget>` fragment.
- Persist the first and previous window IDs in compacted rollout
checkpoints and restore them during rollout reconstruction.
- Preserve compatibility with older compacted records that do not
contain the new optional fields.
- Update focused state, rendering, reconstruction, rollback, and
serialization coverage.

## Summary
- Add `web_search = "indexed"` alongside `disabled`, `cached`, and
`live`.
- Use that same resolved mode for both hosted and standalone web search.
- For hosted search, send `index_gated_web_access: true` with external
web access enabled only when `indexed` is selected.
- For standalone search, preserve the existing boolean wire values for
existing modes (`cached` maps to `false` and `live` to `true`) and send
`"indexed"` only for `indexed`; `disabled` keeps the tool unavailable.
- Carry the mode through managed configuration requirements and
generated schemas.
## Why
Indexed search provides a middle ground between cached-only search and
unrestricted live page fetching. Search queries can remain live while
direct page fetches are limited to URLs admitted by the server.
The existing `web_search` setting remains the single source of truth, so
hosted and standalone executors cannot drift into different access
modes. Without an explicit `indexed` selection, the existing
model-visible tool and request shapes are unchanged.
```toml
web_search = "indexed"
[features]
standalone_web_search = true
```
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-api` (`126 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension` (`7 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_can_call_indexed_standalone_web_search` (`1 passed`)
- Focused configuration, hosted request, standalone request, and
managed-requirement coverage is included in the PR; remaining suites run
in CI.
The full workspace test suite was not run locally.
## Why
Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.
The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.
## What changed
- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.
## Not covered
- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.
## Verification
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`
The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.
## Stack
Stacked on #28685. This PR contains only the thread initialization and
lifecycle/settings API layer.
## Why
Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.
This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.
Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.
## Not covered
- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.
## Verification
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.
## Stack
Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.
## Why
Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.
The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.
## What changed
- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.
`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

## Summary
- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.
## Notes
- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Why
The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.
## What changed
- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait
- split context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped
contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state
## Why
App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.
## What changed
- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion
## Why
Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.
## What Changed
- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including
generated JSON/TypeScript fixture checks
- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per
request after unrelated local sandbox/Seatbelt failures (`sandbox-exec:
sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full
suite.
## What
Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.
- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.
## Why
Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
serialize_thread_realtime_start`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core --test all

- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- Local Codex Apps compatibility check: 43 focused webview tests passed,
and a live voice session routed through the source-built app-server.
The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
overflow seen with the default test environment.
## Why
`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.
This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.
## What changed
- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.
The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.
## Test plan

## Why
Command approval cache keys included the command and working directory,
but not the execution environment. An approval for `/workspace` locally
could therefore be reused for the same command and path on an executor.
## What changed
- Include the selected environment ID in shell and unified-exec approval
cache keys.
- Carry that ID through the normal command approval request so clients
can show which environment is being approved.
- Expose the environment through app-server as a required nullable
`environmentId` and show it in the inline TUI approval prompt.
- Keep older recorded approval events compatible when the environment is
absent.
For example, `echo ok` in local `/workspace` and `echo ok` in executor
`/workspace` now produce different approval keys and separate prompts.
## Scope
This PR does not change network approvals, Guardian review actions, MCP
elicitation, full-screen TUI rendering, or environment-ID validation.
Remote `shell_command` execution itself remains in #28722; this PR only
makes its approval key environment-aware.
## Summary
This keeps inter-agent communication on the existing raw response item
path and adds a join key for MAv2 tool calls.
MAv2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, and `followup_task` now stamp the
originating tool call id into `ResponseItemMetadata.source_call_id` on
the raw `ResponseItem::AgentMessage`. App-server clients can join that
raw item back to the existing tool/activity event by call id, while
using the raw agent message's existing sender, receiver, and content
fields.
No new app-server `ThreadItem` or notification type is added.

## Why
#28152 jumped the gun on moving the rollout format to store URIs, and
would likely break compat with some features that don't go through the
same types as the core logic.
## What
Make `TurnContextItem.cwd` an `AbsolutePathBuf` again, remove test added
for `PathUri` serialization in rollouts. Also drops a bunch of error
paths that are no longer needed.
## Why
Model-visible `<environment_context>` should match the environment of
the executor, not of the app server.
Stacked on #28146.
## What
- Keep selected environment cwd values as `PathUri` while building
environment context.
- Render cwd text using the path convention represented by the URI, with
the canonical URI as a fallback.
- Preserve compatibility with legacy `TurnContextItem.cwd` values when
reconstructing and diffing context.
- Extend the Wine-backed remote Windows test to assert that the model
sees `powershell` and `C:\windows`.
## Why
Multi-agent v2 messages need a consistent, model-visible envelope that
identifies what kind of interaction occurred, who sent it, and which
agent it targets. Previously, encrypted deliveries exposed only
`encrypted_content`, while child completion used the legacy
`<subagent_notification>` shape. That meant the client could not
consistently present `NEW_TASK`, `MESSAGE`, and `FINAL_ANSWER` using the
same format.
This change adds the routing envelope as plaintext while keeping task
and message payloads encrypted. No new Responses API field is required:
an encrypted delivery is represented as an `input_text` header
immediately followed by its existing `encrypted_content` item.
Every envelope now follows this shape:
```text
Message Type: <NEW_TASK | MESSAGE | FINAL_ANSWER>
Task name: <recipient agent path>
Sender: <author agent path>
Payload:
<message payload>
```
## Message types
### `NEW_TASK`
`NEW_TASK` is used when the recipient should begin a new turn, including
an initial `spawn_agent` task and a later `followup_task`.
For a root agent spawning `/root/worker`, the request contains a
plaintext envelope followed by the encrypted task:
```json
{
"type": "agent_message",
"author": "/root",
"recipient": "/root/worker",
"content": [
{
"type": "input_text",
"text": "Message Type: NEW_TASK\nTask name: /root/worker\nSender: /root\nPayload:\n"
},
{
"type": "encrypted_content",
"encrypted_content": "<encrypted task payload>"
}
]
}
```
Conceptually, the model receives:
```text
Message Type: NEW_TASK
Task name: /root/worker
Sender: /root
Payload:
Review the authentication changes and report any regressions.
```
### `MESSAGE`
`MESSAGE` is used for a queued `send_message` delivery. It communicates
with an existing agent without starting a new turn.
For `/root/worker` reporting progress to the root agent, the request
contains:
```json
{
"type": "agent_message",
"author": "/root/worker",
"recipient": "/root",
"content": [
{
"type": "input_text",
"text": "Message Type: MESSAGE\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\n"
},
{
"type": "encrypted_content",
"encrypted_content": "<encrypted message payload>"
}
]
}
```
Conceptually, the model receives:
```text
Message Type: MESSAGE
Task name: /root
Sender: /root/worker
Payload:
The protocol tests pass; I am checking the resume path now.
```
### `FINAL_ANSWER`
`FINAL_ANSWER` is emitted when a child agent reaches a terminal state
and reports its result to its parent. Completion payloads are already
available locally, so the complete envelope is represented as plaintext
rather than as a plaintext header plus encrypted content.
For `/root/worker` completing work for the root agent, the request
contains:
```json
{
"type": "agent_message",
"author": "/root/worker",
"recipient": "/root",
"content": [
{
"type": "input_text",
"text": "Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\nNo regressions found."
}
]
}
```
The model-visible form is:
```text
Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER
Task name: /root
Sender: /root/worker
Payload:
No regressions found.
```
Errored, shut down, and missing agents also use `FINAL_ANSWER`, with a
terminal-status description in the payload.
## What changed
- Render `NEW_TASK` or `MESSAGE` in
`InterAgentCommunication::to_model_input_item`, based on whether the
encrypted delivery starts a turn.
- Replace the multi-agent v2 `<subagent_notification>` completion
payload with a model-visible `FINAL_ANSWER` envelope.
- Document `Task name`, `Sender`, and `Payload` consistently in the
multi-agent developer instructions.
- Prevent local-only history projections from treating an encrypted
message's plaintext header as the complete assistant message.
- Preserve rollout-trace interaction edges when an agent message
contains both plaintext and encrypted content.
Legacy multi-agent behavior remains unchanged.

## Why
`account/read` currently reports only `type: "amazonBedrock"`, so
clients cannot distinguish a Codex-managed Bedrock API key from
credentials supplied by AWS. The app UI needs that distinction to render
the appropriate account state without duplicating provider-auth logic.
Credential-source selection belongs to the Bedrock model provider
because it already owns the precedence between managed Bedrock auth and
the external AWS credential path. This builds on #27443 and #27689.
## What changed
- Added `AmazonBedrockCredentialSource` with `codexManaged` and
`awsManaged` values.
- Included the selected credential source in
`ProviderAccount::AmazonBedrock` and the app-server `Account` response.
- Made `AmazonBedrockModelProvider::account_state()` classify the source
from its managed-auth state.
- Regenerated the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Updated app-server account documentation and downstream TUI matches.
`codexManaged` means the provider found a managed Bedrock API key.
`awsManaged` identifies the provider's external AWS credential path; it
does not assert that the AWS credential chain has been validated.
## Testing
- Added model-provider coverage for Codex-managed precedence and
AWS-managed fallback.
- Added app-server protocol serialization coverage for both wire values.
- Added app-server integration coverage for both `account/read`
responses.
- `just test -p codex-protocol -p codex-model-provider -p
codex-app-server-protocol` (497 tests passed).
After rebasing onto #27711, the `codex-app-server` test target compiled
past the image-generation `PathUri` migration. Local linking was then
interrupted by disk exhaustion (`No space left on device`).
## Why
Models sometimes need to pause briefly while waiting for external work,
but using a shell command for that delay ties the wait to a process and
does not naturally resume when new turn input arrives.
## What changed
- add a built-in `sleep` tool behind the under-development `sleep_tool`
feature
- accept a bounded `duration_ms` argument, matching the millisecond
convention used by unified exec
- end the sleep early when either steered user input or mailbox input
arrives
- include elapsed wall-clock time in completed and interrupted outputs
- emit a dedicated core `SleepItem` through `item/started` and
`item/completed`
- expose the sleep item as app-server v2 `ThreadItem::Sleep` and retain
it in reconstructed thread history
- regenerate the configuration schema for the new feature flag
- regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-core sleep_tool_follows_feature_gate`
- `just test -p codex-core any_new_input_interrupts_sleep`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

## Summary
- Add `includeStartupContext` to realtime start requests so callers can
explicitly skip Codex startup context while keeping the backend prompt
- Thread the new flag through protocol types, request processing, and
realtime session config
- Update app-server docs and coverage for the new default and opt-out
behavior
## Testing
- Added protocol serialization coverage for `includeStartupContext`
- Added realtime integration coverage for starting a session with
startup context disabled
## Why
Progress towards letting app-server and exec-server run on different
platforms, specifically for sandbox configuration.
## What
- Make the filesystem path containment hierarchy generic, defaulting to
`AbsolutePathBuf` for now.
- Have clients specify `AbsolutePathBuf` or `PathUri` directly where
needed.
- Use `PathUri` throughout exec-server filesystem protocol and trait
boundaries.
- Implement `From` for conversion to path URIs and `TryFrom` for
fallible conversion to absolute paths through the generic type
hierarchy.
## Why
Realtime voice harness tuning needs app-side control over what backend
Codex text is spoken. Backend orchestrator text is written for a reading
UI, so automatically speaking every preamble, progress update, or final
assistant message can make the realtime voice model too chatty.
For experimentation, clients need two simple controls: keep app/client
text-item injection on the existing item-create path, and add an
explicit speakable path that app code can call only when it wants
realtime to speak. Automatic Codex output also needs an opt-in way to
switch from the protocol's default speakable path to regular realtime
items, with a caller-provided prefix so prompt wording can be tuned
outside core.
The default remains unchanged: if a client omits the new start fields
and never calls `appendSpeech`, automatic backend output continues down
the existing speakable path for the selected realtime protocol.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental `thread/realtime/appendSpeech` for app-provided
speakable text.
- Keeps existing `thread/realtime/appendText` as the item-create API for
app-provided realtime text items.
- Adds `codexResponsesAsItems` / `codex_responses_as_items` on
`thread/realtime/start` to send automatic Codex responses with
`conversation.item.create` instead of the protocol's default speakable
output path.
- Adds `codexResponseItemPrefix` / `codex_response_item_prefix` so
clients can prepend experiment instructions to those automatic Codex
response items.
- Keeps literal `conversation.handoff.append` routing scoped to the v1
speakable path; v2 default speech uses its item/function-output plus
`response.create` behavior.
- Removes the earlier public silent-context API and hardcoded
silent-context prefix.
- Updates realtime tests to cover default automatic speakable behavior,
opt-in automatic item-create behavior, and explicit `appendSpeech`
behavior.

## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Why
`TurnEnvironmentSelections::new` rewrote the primary environment's
explicit `cwd` to the legacy fallback cwd. For a remote-first selection,
this could replace the remote working directory with a local fallback
path and made the legacy cwd overlay authoritative over
environment-owned state.
## What changed
- Preserve every explicit environment cwd when constructing turn
environment selections.
- Keep `cwd`-only app-server updates compatible by rebuilding the
default environment selections at the requested cwd.
- Cover both explicit primary cwd preservation and cwd-only updates
reaching the model-visible execution environment.
## Testing

Stacked on #27365.
## Stack note
[#27365](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/27365) kept `thread/start`
unchanged and converted its input in `thread_processor`. This PR updates
`thread/start` to accept explicit functions and namespaces directly.
Legacy per-tool arrays are still accepted and converted while reading
the request. As a result, `thread_processor` can validate and pass the
tools through directly, which is why some code added in #27365 is
removed here.
## Why
`thread/start.dynamicTools` still repeats namespace data on each
function even though core now stores explicit namespace groups. The
request API should use the same shape so each namespace has one
description and one member list.
## What changed
- Accept top-level functions and explicit namespace objects in
`dynamicTools`.
- Continue accepting fully legacy flat arrays, including
`exposeToContext`.
- Reject arrays that mix legacy and canonical entries.
- Reuse the protocol types directly and remove the temporary app-server
adapter.
- Update validation, docs, the test client, and generated schemas.

Follow-up to #27356.
## Stack note
This PR changes Codex's internal dynamic-tool shape while leaving
`thread/start` unchanged. App-server therefore converts the existing
per-tool input into explicit functions and namespaces before passing it
to core.
[#27371](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/27371) updates
`thread/start` to use the same explicit shape and removes this temporary
conversion.
## Why
Dynamic tools repeat namespace metadata on every function. Core should
keep one explicit namespace with its member tools so descriptions and
membership stay consistent across sessions and runtime planning.
## What changed
- Represent dynamic tools as top-level functions or explicit namespaces
in protocol and session state.
- Read old flat rollout metadata and write the canonical hierarchy.
- Flatten namespace members only when registering callable tools.
- Keep `thread/start.dynamicTools` flat for now and normalize it at the
app-server boundary.
New builds can read old rollout metadata. Older builds cannot read newly
written hierarchical metadata.

## Why
Next slice needed to make progress on the `remote_env_windows` test is
to support passing a Windows cwd for the remote environment and using
that environment's native shell. This lets the test run a real Windows
process instead of only recording an early path or shell mismatch.
## What
- change `TurnEnvironmentSelection.cwd` from `AbsolutePathBuf` to
`PathUri`
- convert local cwd values to URIs when constructing selections
- preserve a remote primary cwd instead of replacing it with the local
legacy fallback
- prefer the selected environment's discovered shell for unified exec,
falling back to the session shell when unavailable
- convert back to a host-native absolute path at current native-only
consumer boundaries
- reject or deny unsupported foreign cwd values at the existing
request-permissions boundary, with TODOs for its future migration
- extend the hermetic Wine test to execute Windows PowerShell in
`C:\windows` and verify successful process completion
- record the current app-server rejection against the same Wine-backed
remote Windows fixture when its cwd is supplied as a native Windows path
## Intent
Keep Bazel and Starlark files consistently formatted without requiring
contributors to install or version buildifier themselves.
## Implementation
- Add a SHA-256-pinned, cross-platform DotSlash manifest for buildifier
v8.5.1.
- Run buildifier from the shared `just fmt` and `just fmt-check` driver,
with Windows-safe explicit DotSlash invocation.
- Provision DotSlash in formatting CI and contributor devcontainers, and
document the source-build prerequisite.
- Apply the initial mechanical buildifier formatting baseline.
## Summary
Add an explicit `user` or `developer` role to
`thread/realtime/appendText` and propagate it through the realtime input
queue into `conversation.item.create`. Older JSON clients that omit the
field continue to default to `user`.
This lets app-provided context such as memory retain developer authority
without bypassing app-server through a renderer-owned data channel. The
app-server schemas, API documentation, and focused protocol and
websocket coverage are updated with the new contract.
The Codex Apps consumer is tracked in
[openai/openai#1025261](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1025261).

## Why
Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
envelope inside an assistant message.
With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
author and recipient metadata.
## What changed
- add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
regenerate the affected app-server schemas
- preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
of converting it to assistant text
- record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
- persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
`trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
request
- reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
truncation behavior
- remove request-time assistant-content parsing
- preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
memory inputs
- normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
traces without treating inbound messages as child results
- cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
deterministic mailbox synchronization

## Summary
Adds a `RealtimeConversationArchitecture` option for realtime
conversation startup, with `realtimeapi` as the default and `avas` as an
opt-in architecture.
The AVAS path is limited to realtime v1 conversational WebRTC starts,
and WebRTC call creation appends `intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`
to `/v1/realtime/calls`. The existing sideband websocket still joins by
`call_id`.
This also exposes the per-session architecture override through
app-server v2 `thread/realtime/start` params and updates the config
schema for `[realtime].architecture`.
## Validation
