Michael BolinandGitHub 31b99f65cf cli: rename sandbox permission profile flag (#30095)
## Why

`codex sandbox` accepts a single named permissions profile, so the
existing plural `--permissions-profile` spelling is misleading. The
canonical flag and its help text should use the singular form without
breaking scripts that already use the old spelling.

## What changed

- Make `--permission-profile` the canonical flag for all sandbox
backends.
- Keep `--permissions-profile` as a hidden backwards-compatible alias.
- Cover the canonical spelling, legacy alias, and help visibility with
regression tests.

## Testing

Ran `just c sandbox --help` and verified I saw:

```shell
  -P, --permission-profile <NAME>
          Named permissions profile to apply from the active configuration stack
```

richardopenaiandGitHub 2dec46e30a [codex] Record exec-server lifecycle metrics (#27467)
## Summary

- Record bounded connection, request, and process lifecycle metrics.
- Report active gauges from callbacks on every collection, including
delta exports.
- Serialize active-count updates so concurrent starts and finishes
cannot publish stale values.
- Serialize process exit, explicit termination, and shutdown through the
process registry so exactly one completion result wins.
- Keep the implementation small with single-owner RAII guards and one
real OTLP/HTTP integration test using the existing `wiremock`
dependency.

## Root cause

Process exit and session shutdown previously used cloned completion
state. That avoided duplicate emission, but it duplicated lifecycle
ownership and made the ordering harder to reason about. The process
registry mutex already defines the lifecycle ordering, so the final
implementation stores the metric guard and termination flag directly on
the process entry. Whichever path claims the entry first owns the
completion result.

Production metric export uses delta temporality. Event-only synchronous
gauge recordings disappear after the next collection when no count
changes, so active counts now use observable callbacks that report
current state on every collection.

The cleanup also removes the constant `result="accepted"` connection
tag, redundant route and response assertions, a custom HTTP collector,
and fallback initialization machinery that did not add behavior.

## Stack

Anton PanasenkoandGitHub f4e6aa70e5 feat(remote-control): add daemon pairing command (#29913)
## Why

Users who run Codex remote control through daemon mode can keep the
daemon running, but they do not have a CLI path to mint the short-lived
manual pairing code needed to connect another device. Without this
command, they need to speak app-server JSON-RPC directly.

Related: #25675

## What Changed

- Added `codex remote-control pair`, which connects to the existing
daemon control socket and calls `remoteControl/pairing/start` with
`manualCode: true`.
- Kept the command non-lifecycle-mutating: it does not start, enable, or
restart the daemon.
- Human output labels the manual code as `Pairing code: ...`; `--json`
preserves the full pairing response.
- Added daemon socket-client, CLI formatting, and parser coverage.

## Verification

- `remote_control_client::tests::start_pairing_requests_manual_code`
verifies the daemon client sends `{ "manualCode": true }` and parses the
complete response.
-
`remote_control_cmd::tests::remote_control_pairing_human_output_labels_the_manual_code`
verifies the human-facing output.

canvrno-oaiandGitHub 1659c4a629 PAC 2 - Add shared auth system proxy contract (#26707)
## Summary

Stacked on #26706.

Adds the shared auth/system-proxy contract that later platform resolver
PRs plug into. This PR moves Codex-owned auth and startup HTTP clients
through a common route-aware boundary, but does not yet add Windows or
macOS system proxy resolution.

The default path remains unchanged when `respect_system_proxy` is absent
or disabled.

## Implementation

- Adds `codex-client/src/outbound_proxy.rs` with the shared
route-selection model:
  - `OutboundProxyConfig`;
  - `ClientRouteClass`;
  - `RouteFailureClass`;
  - `build_reqwest_client_for_route`.
- Preserves the existing reqwest/default-client behavior when no route
config is supplied.
- Uses the fixed MVP routing policy when route config is supplied:
platform system/PAC/WPAD discovery, then explicit env proxy variables,
then direct connection.
- Keeps platform-specific system discovery behind the shared client
boundary. This PR provides the contract and fallback behavior; later
resolver PRs plug in Windows and macOS discovery.
- Adds `login::AuthRouteConfig` so auth call sites depend on a small
policy type instead of platform resolver details.
- Maps the resolved `Config.respect_system_proxy` boolean into
`AuthRouteConfig` for auth-owned clients.
- Wires the route config through browser login, device-code login,
access-token login, login status, logout/revoke, token refresh, API-key
exchange, app-server account login, TUI/app startup, cloud-config
bootstrap, cloud tasks, plugin auth, and exec startup config loading.

## End-user behavior

- No behavior changes by default.
- When `respect_system_proxy = true`, auth-owned clients opt into the
shared route-aware client path.
- On platforms without a resolver implementation in this PR, system
discovery is unavailable and the route-aware path falls back to explicit
env proxy handling, then direct connection.
- Custom CA handling remains separate from proxy route selection and
still runs through the shared client builder.
- No proxy URLs, PAC contents, or resolved platform details are exposed
through the public config surface introduced here.

## Tests

Adds or updates coverage for:

- preserving default auth-client fallback behavior when no route config
is provided;
- injected environment-proxy fallback without mutating process
environment;
- existing login-server E2E flows using explicit `auth_route_config:
None` to guard unchanged default behavior;
- updated auth manager, login, logout, cloud-config, startup, and
plugin-auth call sites passing route config explicitly.

AdrianandGitHub ec848dde0e feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)
## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-login`

AdrianandGitHub d9e0551564 feat: add run task identity primitives (#19047)
## Stack

This is PR 1 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

The simplified POC shape is one backend-owned task per Agent Identity
run. This PR makes the first layer match that final shape directly
instead of introducing task targets, caller-owned external task refs, or
intermediate wrappers that later PRs would need to undo.

What changed:

- keeps the `AgentAssertion` wire payload as `agent_runtime_id`,
`task_id`, `timestamp`, and `signature`
- exposes `register_agent_task` as the single task-registration helper
for both existing Agent Identity JWT auth and the ChatGPT-registration
path added later in the stack
- makes task registration send only the signed registration timestamp;
the backend owns the returned opaque task id
- removes the unused target/task-kind/external-task-ref surfaces from
`codex-agent-identity`
- keeps Agent Identity JWT JWKS lookup separate from agent/task
registration URL derivation
- updates Agent Identity JWT auth to register one run task during auth
construction and share that task across cloned auth handles

This PR intentionally does not enable ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity.
That opt-in and config gate are added in the next PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-agent-identity`

Anton PanasenkoandGitHub d61dfeb23a feat(app-server): persist remote-control desired state (#27445)
## Why

Remote-control runtime enablement and persisted enrollment preference
were represented by separate flags. That made startup rehydration, RPC
persistence, and new-enrollment seeding race with one another, and it
did not cleanly distinguish runtime-only CLI or daemon starts from
durable app-server RPC changes.

## What Changed

- Replace the parallel enablement, seed, and rehydration flags with one
transport-owned `RemoteControlDesiredState`.
- Add nullable enrollment-scoped persistence and preserve existing
preferences during enrollment upserts.
- Rehydrate plain startup only after auth and client scope resolve,
without overwriting a concurrent RPC transition.
- Make ordinary `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
durable while retaining `ephemeral: true` for runtime-only callers.
- Have the daemon explicitly request ephemeral enablement and regenerate
the app-server schemas.

## Verification

- Covered migration and `NULL`/`0`/`1` persistence round trips.
- Covered plain-start rehydration and runtime-only versus durable
enrollment seeding.
- Covered durable enable, durable disable, and ephemeral enable through
app-server RPC.
- Covered the daemon's exact `{ "ephemeral": true }` request payload.

Related issue: N/A (internal remote-control persistence architecture
change).

Adam Perry @ OpenAIandGitHub 236b50125d [codex] Load user instructions through an injected provider (#27101)
## Why

We want to remove implicit use of `$CODEX_HOME` from `codex-core` and
make embedders responsible for supplying user-level instructions. This
also ensures user instructions load when no primary environment is
selected.

## What changed

Stacked on #27415, which makes `codex exec` surface thread-scoped
runtime warnings.

- Added `UserInstructionsProvider` to `codex-extension-api`, with
absolute source attribution and recoverable loading warnings.
- Added `codex-home` with the filesystem-backed provider for
`AGENTS.override.md` and `AGENTS.md`, preserving precedence, fallback,
trimming, lossy UTF-8 handling, and the existing uncapped global
instruction size.
- Removed global instruction loading from `Config` and require
`ThreadManager` callers to inject a provider.
- Load provider instructions once for each fresh root runtime, including
runtimes without a primary environment. Running sessions retain their
snapshot, while child agents inherit the parent snapshot without
invoking the provider.
- Keep provider instructions separate while loading project `AGENTS.md`,
then assemble the model-visible instructions with the existing ordering,
source attribution, warning, and turn-context behavior.
- Wired the Codex home provider through the CLI, app server, MCP server,
core facade, and thread-manager sample.

## Validation

Eric TrautandGitHub 9d88e299a7 Print TUI session info on fatal exits (#27417)
## Summary

TUI exits printed the resume/session summary only after checking the
exit reason. On fatal exits, both CLI wrappers wrote the error and
called `process::exit(1)` immediately, so an active session that ended
on a fatal error could skip the session information entirely.

This change prints the normal exit summary before returning the fatal
nonzero exit code. If a fatal exit has a known thread id but no
resumable rollout hint, it prints `Session ID: <id>` instead of staying
silent. It also flushes stdout before `process::exit(1)` so the summary
line is not lost during process teardown.

## Implementation

- Apply the fatal-exit ordering fix in both `codex` and standalone
`codex-tui`.
- Keep normal user-requested exit behavior unchanged.
- Preserve the existing resume hint when a rollout is resumable, and use
the raw thread id only as a fatal-exit fallback.

Eric TrautandGitHub 9d87b771ce Add session delete commands in CLI and TUI (#27476)
## Summary

The app server exposes `thread/delete`, but users cannot invoke it from
the CLI or TUI. Because deletion is irreversible, the user-facing
commands need deliberate confirmation and safer handling of name-based
targets.

- Add `codex delete <SESSION>` with interactive confirmation,
restricting `--force` to UUID targets.
- Resolve exact names across active and archived sessions, including
renamed sessions, and validate prompted UUID targets before
confirmation.
- Add a `/delete` command with a confirmation popup that warns the
current session and its subagent threads will be permanently deleted.

## Manual testing

- Deleted by UUID with `--force` and verified the rollout, session-index
entry, and database row were removed.
- Exercised name-based confirmation for both cancellation and
affirmative deletion; cancellation preserved the session and
confirmation removed it.
- Verified deletion refuses to proceed without `--force`, while
`--force` rejects names, including duplicate names.
- Verified duplicate-name confirmation displays the concrete UUID
selected.
- Deleted an archived session by name.
- Verified an already-missing UUID fails before displaying a
confirmation prompt.
- Exercised `/delete` in the TUI: the popup defaults to No, cancellation
preserves the session, and confirmation deletes the session and exits.
- Verified that `codex delete` works for both archived and non-archived
sessions.

stefanstokic-oaiandGitHub b4445f2758 [codex] add /import for external agents (#27071)
## Why

External-agent import should be discoverable and deliberate without
blocking startup or claiming the public `codex [PROMPT]` CLI namespace.
The slash command keeps the flow local to the interactive TUI and reuses
the existing app-server import API.

## What changed

- add the user-facing `/import` slash command
- detect external-agent importable items only when the command is
invoked
- run imports through the embedded local app-server
- show start and completion messages, refresh configuration, and block
duplicate imports while one is pending
- reject the flow for unsupported remote and local-daemon sessions

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration` (10 passed)
- manually exercised an isolated TUI fixture with existing
external-agent setup and session data using a fresh `CODEX_HOME`
- verified picker customization, plugin and session detection, import
completion, repeated invocation, and imported-session resume context
- the broader `just test -p codex-tui` run passed 2,805 tests, with 2
unrelated guardian feature-flag failures and 4 skipped tests

## Draft follow-ups

- review whether completion messaging should remain attached to the
initiating chat if the user switches chats during an import
- review shutdown semantics for an in-progress background import

## Stack

David de RegtandGitHub 3691fe5b76 fix: Auto-recover from corrupted sqlite databases (#26859)
Further investigation of the sqlite incidents showed that the problems
are due to corruption from the older version of SQLite that we recently
upgraded, and that the data is truly corrupted in the root database --
recovery of all data is not possible. Given that the data is
reconstructable from the rollouts on disk, we should just auto-backup
the database and let codex rebuild the rollout info from the disk
rollouts.

The new behavior is that appserver auto-backs-up and rebuilds (with logs
reflecting that behavior). The CLI now pops a message letting you know
this happened and the paths of the backed-up corrupt db and the new
database. There is also context added so that the desktop app can read
the rebuild info from it and inform the user with it.

Michael BolinandGitHub e0ee491df3 cli: add -P sandbox permissions profile alias (#27054)
## Why

`codex sandbox --permissions-profile` is useful when running commands
under a named permissions profile, but the long option is cumbersome for
a debugging-oriented command. `-p` is already used for the config
profile selector, so `-P` gives the permissions profile selector a
compact, non-conflicting alias.

## What Changed

- Added `short = 'P'` to the `permissions_profile` option for the macOS,
Linux, and Windows sandbox command structs in
[`codex-rs/cli/src/lib.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/6d9f9c5cdcaa0a156aa2dabbde259ae5e9e8bc0b/codex-rs/cli/src/lib.rs#L29-L112).
- Added parser coverage for `codex sandbox -P :workspace -- echo` in
[`codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/6d9f9c5cdcaa0a156aa2dabbde259ae5e9e8bc0b/codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs#L2883-L2896).

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-cli` passed, including the new
`sandbox_parses_permissions_profile_short_alias` parser test.

Felipe CouryandGitHub e093d81982 fix(tui): accept prompts with resume and fork (#26818)
## Why

Interactive `codex resume` and `codex fork` expose both a session ID
positional and an initial prompt positional. With `--last`, Clap still
assigns the first positional to the session ID, so a command such as
`codex fork --last "/compact focus on auth"` either fails parsing or
attempts to look up the prompt as a session ID instead of sending it to
the latest session.

This makes it impossible to select the latest session and immediately
provide a follow-up prompt, even though `codex exec resume --last`
already supports that workflow.

<img width="1746" height="1024" alt="CleanShot 2026-06-06 at 17 00
47@2x"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/86885c07-a23c-48ee-b0ee-47f2484f6eb7"
/>

## What Changed

- Reinterpret the first positional as the initial prompt when
interactive `resume --last` or `fork --last` is used and no explicit
second prompt was parsed.
- Preserve the existing `resume SESSION_ID PROMPT` and `fork SESSION_ID
PROMPT` behavior.
- Add parser-level regression coverage for latest-session and
explicit-session prompt forms.

## How to Test

1. Start an interactive session, exit it, then run `codex resume --last
"continue from the latest session"`.
2. Confirm Codex resumes the latest session and submits the supplied
prompt instead of treating it as a session ID.
3. Run `codex fork --last "take a different approach"`.
4. Confirm Codex forks the latest session and submits the supplied
prompt.
5. Also verify `codex resume SESSION_ID "continue here"` and `codex fork
SESSION_ID "branch here"` still target the explicit session and submit
the prompt.

Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-cli` (267 passed)

Eric TrautandGitHub 3e7baa00e4 Add thread archive CLI commands (#25021)
## Problem

Saved threads can already be archived through app-server RPCs, but the
command line did not expose direct archive or unarchive commands.

## Solution

Add `codex archive <thread>` and `codex unarchive <thread>`, resolving
UUIDs or exact thread names before calling the existing `thread/archive`
and `thread/unarchive` RPCs. The commands support scoped remote flags so
callers can target remote app-server endpoints when archiving or
unarchiving threads.

This also fixes a long-standing bug in `codex resume <thread id>` and
`codex fork <thread id>` that I found when testing the new commands.
These operations shouldn't be allowed on archived sessions. They now
fail with an error that tells the user to run `codex unarchive <thread
id>` first.

## Verification

Added app-server coverage for rejecting archived thread resume by id and
checking that the error includes the matching `codex unarchive <thread
id>` command.
2026-05-29 23:37:26 -07:00
iceweasel-oaiandGitHub cb9178e8b3 Add Windows sandbox provisioning setup command (#24831)
## Why

Some Windows users do not have local admin access, so they cannot
complete the elevated portion of the Windows sandbox setup when Codex
first needs it. This adds an alpha provisioning path that an admin or IT
deployment script can run ahead of time for the Codex user.

The intended managed-deployment shape is:

```powershell
codex sandbox setup --elevated --user "$env:COMPUTERNAME\Alice" --codex-home "C:\Users\Alice\.codex"
```

`--elevated` is treated as the requested sandbox setup level, not as
proof that the process is elevated. The Windows sandbox setup
orchestration still checks that the caller is actually elevated before
launching the helper without a UAC prompt.

## What changed

- Added `codex sandbox setup --elevated` with explicit user selection
via either `--current-user` or `--user ... --codex-home ...`.
- Moved the CLI implementation into `cli/src/sandbox_setup.rs` instead
of growing `cli/src/main.rs`.
- Added a Windows sandbox `ProvisionOnly` helper mode that runs the
elevation-required provisioning work without requiring a workspace cwd
or runtime sandbox policy.
- Reused the existing elevated helper path for creating/updating sandbox
users, configuring firewall/WFP rules, and applying sandbox directory
ACLs.
- Persisted `windows.sandbox = "elevated"` into the target `CODEX_HOME`
so the desktop app does not show the initial sandbox setup banner after
pre-provisioning succeeds.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli sandbox_setup --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox
payload_accepts_provision_only_mode --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `git diff --check`
- Manual Windows alpha flow with a standard local user (`Mandi Lavida`):
ran the new setup command from an admin shell, verified the target
`.codex` contents, sandbox marker/secrets, ACLs, firewall rules, and
desktop startup without the sandbox setup banner once experimental
network proxy requirements were disabled.

## Notes

This intentionally does not solve later elevated update coordination for
IT-managed deployments. The setup command can still apply provisioning
updates when run again, but a broader coordination/process story is out
of scope for this alpha.

Steve CoffeyandGitHub c57dee98b7 Allow API-key auth for remote exec-server registration (#24666)
## Overview
Allow remote `codex exec-server` registration to use existing API-key
auth while restricting where those credentials can be sent.

- Accept `CodexAuth::ApiKey` for the normal `--remote` registration
path.
- Restrict API-key remote registration to HTTPS `openai.com` and
`openai.org` hosts and subdomains, with explicit HTTP loopback support
for local development.
- Disable registry registration redirects so credentials cannot be
forwarded to an unvalidated destination.
- Retain `--use-agent-identity-auth` as the explicit Agent Identity
path.
- Document remote registration using `CODEX_API_KEY`.

## Big picture
Callers can now provide an API key directly to `exec-server`
registration without first establishing ChatGPT login state:

```sh
CODEX_API_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" \
codex exec-server \
  --remote "https://<host>.openai.org/api" \
  --environment-id "$ENVIRONMENT_ID"
```

## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all` (`just fmt` is not installed on this host)
- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-exec-server`

jif-oaiandGitHub aad59a0916 Move memory state to a dedicated SQLite DB (#24591)
## Summary

Generated memory rows and their stage-one/stage-two job state currently
live in `state_5.sqlite` alongside thread metadata. That makes memory
cleanup and regeneration share the main state schema even though those
rows are memory-pipeline data and can be rebuilt independently from the
durable thread records.

This PR moves the memory-owned tables into a dedicated
`memories_1.sqlite` runtime database while keeping thread metadata in
`state_5.sqlite`.

## Changes

- Adds a separate memories DB runtime, migrator, path helpers, telemetry
kind, and Bazel compile data for `state/memory_migrations`.
- Introduces `MemoryStore` behind `StateRuntime::memories()` and moves
memory table/job operations onto that store.
- Drops the old memory tables from the state DB and recreates their
schema in `state/memory_migrations/0001_memories.sql`.
- Updates memory startup, citation usage tracking, rollout pollution
handling, `debug clear-memories`, and app-server `memory/reset` to
operate through the memories DB.
- Preserves cross-DB behavior by hydrating thread metadata from the
state DB when selecting visible memory outputs and checking stage-one
staleness.

## Verification

- Added/updated `codex-state` tests for deleted-thread memory visibility
and already-polluted phase-two enqueue behavior.
- Updated `debug clear-memories`, app-server `memory/reset`, and
memories startup tests to seed and assert memory rows through
`memories_1.sqlite`.

Michael BolinandGitHub 36a71a88bf cli: support --profile for codex sandbox (#24110)
## Why

`codex sandbox` now always runs the host sandbox backend, so it should
accept the same profile selection mechanism as the rest of the runtime
CLI surface. Without `--profile`, sandbox debugging can exercise only
the default config stack unless users manually translate profile config
into ad hoc `-c` overrides.

Supporting `--profile` lets sandbox invocations load
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`, including permission profile
configuration, before resolving the sandbox policy for the command being
run.

## What Changed

- Added `--profile NAME` / `-p NAME` to the host-specific `codex
sandbox` argument structs as `config_profile`.
- Allowed root-level `codex --profile NAME sandbox ...` and made a
sandbox-local `codex sandbox --profile NAME ...` override the root
selection.
- Threaded `LoaderOverrides` through sandbox config loading so selected
config profile files participate in permission resolution before the
legacy read-only fallback.
- Documented the new sandbox flag in `codex-rs/README.md`.

## Verification

- Added parser coverage for `codex sandbox --profile`.
- Added sandbox config-loader coverage that verifies selected config
profile loader overrides select the profile config rather than falling
back to read-only.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-cli`.

Michael BolinandGitHub c0b16cfc6b cli: infer host sandbox backend (#24102)
## Why

`codex sandbox` previously required an OS subcommand like `linux`,
`macos`, or `windows`, even though the command can only run the sandbox
backend available on the current host. That made the CLI imply a
cross-OS choice that does not exist.

## What changed

- Collapse `codex sandbox <os>` into `codex sandbox [COMMAND]...` by
wiring the `sandbox` parser directly to the host-specific backend args
with `cfg`.
- Keep the existing backend runners for Seatbelt, Linux sandbox, and
Windows restricted token.
- Rename the public Windows debug sandbox runner to
`run_command_under_windows_sandbox` for clarity.
- Update the Rust sandbox docs and related README references to describe
host OS selection and avoid pointing readers at legacy `sandbox_mode`
config.

## Arg0 compatibility

The `codex-linux-sandbox` helper path is still handled before normal CLI
parsing. `arg0_dispatch()` checks whether the executable basename is
`codex-linux-sandbox` and directly calls
`codex_linux_sandbox::run_main()`, so removing the `sandbox linux`
parser branch does not affect the arg0 helper flow.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`

jif-oaiandGitHub ed80e5f558 mcp: surface profile migration guidance under --profile (#23890)
## Why

`codex --profile <name> mcp ...` should reach the same profile-v2
migration guard as runtime commands. Otherwise legacy
`[profiles.<name>]` users see the generic command-scope rejection
instead of the existing guidance to move settings into
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.

## What

- Allow `codex mcp` through the `--profile` subcommand gate.
- Pass profile loader overrides into the MCP entry point only to
validate profile-v2 migration when a profile is present.
- Keep MCP add/remove/list/get/login/logout behavior otherwise
unchanged; this does not add profile-scoped MCP server management.
- Cover the legacy profile migration error for `codex --profile work mcp
list`.

## Testing

- `cargo test -p codex-cli`

jif-oaiandGitHub e0e304b123 cli: remove legacy profile v1 plumbing (#23886)
## Why

[#23883](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23883) moved the
user-facing `--profile` flag onto profile v2. The shared CLI option
layer still carried the old `config_profile` slot and several CLI
entrypoints still copied that value into legacy config overrides.
Leaving that path around makes the CLI surface look like it still
selects legacy `[profiles.*]` state even though `--profile` now means
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.

## What

- Remove the legacy `config_profile` field and merge/copy path from
[`SharedCliOptions`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/95baaf72920c8db22097df8d15a0bb76c84528b6/codex-rs/utils/cli/src/shared_options.rs#L8-L177).
- Stop forwarding profile-v1 overrides from CLI, exec, TUI, doctor,
debug, feature, and exec-server paths; runtime profile selection remains
on `config_profile_v2` through
[`loader_overrides_for_profile`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/95baaf72920c8db22097df8d15a0bb76c84528b6/codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs#L1606-L1619).
- Resolve local OSS provider selection from the base config in exec and
TUI now that the legacy profile argument is gone.

## Testing

- Not run (cleanup-only follow-up to #23883).
2026-05-21 17:21:37 +02:00
jif-oaiandGitHub 8a511d5881 cli: rename profile v2 flag to --profile (#23883)
## Why

Profile v2 is taking over the user-facing profile selection path, so the
CLI no longer needs to expose the transitional `--profile-v2` spelling.
This switches the public args surface to `--profile` before the
remaining legacy profile plumbing is removed separately.

## What

- Rebind `--profile` and `-p` to the v2 profile name argument that
selects `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.
- Stop parsing the legacy shared CLI profile argument while keeping its
implementation path in place for follow-up cleanup.
- Update CLI validation, profile-name parse errors, and the
legacy-profile collision message/tests to refer to `--profile`.

## Testing

- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-config -p codex-protocol -p
codex-utils-cli`

Michael BolinandGitHub d1e3d54192 cli: add strict config to exec-server (#23719)
## Why

PR #20559 added opt-in strict config parsing to the config-loading
command surfaces, but `codex exec-server` was left out. That meant
`codex exec-server --strict-config` was rejected even though the command
can load config for remote registration, and local server startup had no
way to fail fast on misspelled config keys.

## What Changed

- Added `--strict-config` to `codex exec-server`.
- Allowed root-level inheritance from `codex --strict-config
exec-server`.
- Validated config before local exec-server startup when strict mode is
requested.
- Reused the loaded strict-config-aware config for remote exec-server
registration auth.
- Added CLI coverage showing `codex exec-server --strict-config` rejects
unknown config fields.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- New integration test:
`strict_config_rejects_unknown_config_fields_for_exec_server`

## Documentation

Any strict-config command list on developers.openai.com/codex should
include `codex exec-server` with the other supported config-loading
entry points.

Owen LinandGitHub 1752f374a8 Improve codex remote-control CLI UX (#22878)
## Description

This PR makes `codex remote-control` behave like a foreground CLI
command by default. Running it now starts remote control, waits for
readiness, prints a clear status message with the machine name, and
stays alive until Ctrl-C.

Users who want daemon behavior can use `codex remote-control start`, and
`codex remote-control stop` now prints concise human-readable output.
`--json` remains available for scripts.

Implementation-wise, this now verifies the real app-server state instead
of just assuming startup worked. The CLI starts or connects to
app-server, probes its control socket, calls the `remoteControl/enable`
API, and waits for the remote-control status response/notification
before printing success.

For daemon mode, `codex remote-control start` also reports which managed
app-server binary was used, including its path and best-effort `codex
--version`, so failures are easier to diagnose.

## Examples

Example output:
```
> codex remote-control
Starting app-server with remote control enabled...
This machine is available for remote control as com-97826.
Press Ctrl-C to stop.
```

Error case using daemon (currently expected based on our publicly
released CLI version):
```
> ./target/debug/codex remote-control start
Starting app-server daemon with remote control enabled...
Error: app server did not become ready on /Users/owen/.codex/app-server-control/app-server-control.sock

Daemon used app-server:
  path: /Users/owen/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex
  version: 0.130.0

Managed app-server stderr (/Users/owen/.codex/app-server-daemon/app-server.stderr.log):
  error: unexpected argument '--remote-control' found
  
  Usage: codex app-server [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]
  
  For more information, try '--help'.

Caused by:
    0: failed to connect to /Users/owen/.codex/app-server-control/app-server-control.sock
    1: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```

## What changed

- `codex remote-control` now runs remote control in the foreground and
prints a Ctrl-C stop hint.
- `codex remote-control start` starts the daemon and waits for remote
control readiness before reporting success.
- `codex remote-control stop` reports stopped/not-running status in
plain language.
- Startup failures now include recent managed app-server stderr to make
daemon issues easier to diagnose.
- Added coverage for CLI output, readiness waiting, foreground shutdown,
and stderr log tailing.

4ac3ea20a2 Clarify resume hints for renamed threads (#23234)
Addresses #23181

## Why
Renamed threads can share names, so hints that suggest resuming directly
by name are ambiguous. Issue #23181 asks for the picker hint to include
the thread name and thread ID in parens so users can disambiguate
safely.

## What
- Adds a shared resume hint formatter for named threads: run `codex
resume`, then select `<name> (<thread-id>)`.
- Uses that hint for /rename confirmations, TUI session summaries, and
CLI/TUI exit messages.
- Keeps direct `codex resume <thread-id>` guidance for unnamed threads.

## Verification
Manually verified that message after `/rename` and after `/exit` include
session ID in parens.

Eric TrautandGitHub af6ffb6ebb Support --output-schema for exec resume (#23123)
## Why

`codex exec resume` should have the same structured-output support as
top-level `codex exec`. Without `--output-schema`, multi-turn automation
has to choose between resumed session context and schema-validated JSON
output.

Fixes #22998.

## What changed

- Marked `--output-schema` as a global `codex exec` flag so it can be
passed after `resume`.
- Reused the existing output schema plumbing so resumed turns attach the
schema to the final response request while preserving session context.

Michael ZengandGitHub b200dd1b6f exec-server: support auth-backed remote executor registration (#22769)
This updates remote `exec-server` registration to use normal Codex auth
instead of a registry-issued credential. The registry request is built
from the existing auth-provider path, which preserves the biscuit-only
registry contract introduced in
[openai/openai#924101](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/924101)
while removing the old remote registry bearer env var and its direct
transport assumptions.

The default remote flow uses persisted ChatGPT auth from the normal
Codex config/storage path. This PR also includes the containerized Agent
Identity path needed by
[openai/openai#924260](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/924260):
remote `exec-server` accepts `--allow-agent-identity-auth`, permits
Agent Identity auth loaded from `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` only when that flag
is present, and reuses the existing Agent task registration plus derived
`AgentAssertion` header generation. API-key auth remains unsupported,
and Agent Identity stays opt-in.

Validation performed beyond normal presubmit coverage:
- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli exec_server_agent_identity_auth_flag_`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli remote_exec_server_auth_mode_`

I also attempted `cargo test -p codex-cli`. The new CLI tests passed
inside that run, but the suite ended on an unrelated local
marketplace-state failure in
`plugin_list_excludes_unconfigured_repo_local_marketplaces`.

Curtis 'Fjord' HawthorneandGitHub 8543e39885 Preserve image detail in app-server inputs (#20693)
## Summary

- Add optional image detail to user image inputs across core, app-server
v2, thread history/event mapping, and the generated app-server
schemas/types.
- Preserve requested detail when serializing Responses image inputs:
omitted detail stays on the existing `high` default, while explicit
`original` keeps local images on the original-resolution path.
- Support `high`/`original` consistently for tool image outputs,
including MCP `codex/imageDetail`, code-mode image helpers, and
`view_image`.

Eric TrautandGitHub 3a23e87e20 tui: recover local state db startup failures (#22734)
## Why

#22580 made app-server startup fail when the local SQLite state database
cannot be initialized. Embedded/local TUI startup still continued on the
permissive path, which left the CLI inconsistent and could hide a real
startup problem behind unrelated UI. This brings local TUI startup onto
the same fail-closed behavior while keeping recovery humane for the two
failure modes we are seeing in practice: damaged database files and
startup stalls caused by another process holding the database write
lock.

## What changed

- Embedded TUI startup now uses `state_db::try_init(...)` and returns a
typed `LocalStateDbStartupError` that preserves the affected database
path plus the underlying failure detail.
- CLI startup handles that failure before entering the interactive TUI:
- lock-contention failures tell users to quit other Codex processes and
try again
- failures consistent with a broken local database offer a safe repair
that backs up Codex-owned SQLite files, rebuilds local database files,
and retries startup once
- declined or unsuccessful repairs print concise guidance plus technical
details
- Shared startup error plumbing lives in `tui/src/startup_error.rs`,
while CLI recovery policy and focused recovery tests live in
`cli/src/state_db_recovery.rs`.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-tui
embedded_state_db_failure_is_typed_for_cli_recovery`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli state_db_recovery`
- Manually held an exclusive SQLite lock on `state_5.sqlite` and
confirmed the CLI shows lock-specific guidance without offering repair.
- Manually exercised the repair path with a deliberately invalid
`sqlite_home` and confirmed it backs up the blocking path and resumes
startup.

Eric TrautandGitHub 3dc278b68e Trim TUI legacy core helper usage (#22695)
## Why

The TUI still had a few low-risk dependencies flowing through the
transitional `legacy_core` namespace after the app-server migration.
These helpers either already have clearer non-core owners or are
presentation logic that does not belong in `codex-core`, so moving them
out reduces the compatibility surface without changing product behavior.

## What changed

This is a low-risk change, almost completely mechanical in nature.

- Route TUI Codex-home lookup through `codex-utils-home-dir`, use
`Config::log_dir` directly, and call
`codex-sandboxing::system_bwrap_warning` without going through
`legacy_core`.
- Move shared `codex resume` hint formatting from `codex-core` into
`codex-utils-cli`.
- Update CLI and TUI call sites to use the shared CLI utility, and keep
the resume-command behavior covered by tests in its new home.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli resume_command`

Casey ChowandGitHub 74a1b46a00 [codex] add plugin marketplace CLI commands (#21396)
## Why

Plugin CLI installs should behave more like `apt-get install`:
configured marketplaces are the only install sources, the local
marketplace snapshot is the package index used at install time, and
`plugins/cache` is only a cache of already-downloaded plugin bytes.

That distinction matters once marketplaces and plugins have auth or
availability state. A repo-local marketplace manifest or leftover cached
plugin artifact should not silently become an install source unless the
marketplace was explicitly configured and its readable snapshot still
authorizes the plugin.

## What Changed

- add CLI commands to list configured marketplaces and add, list, or
remove marketplace plugins
- accept stable `plugin@marketplace` ids for add/remove while preserving
the explicit `--marketplace` form
- restrict `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` to configured
marketplaces instead of also discovering current-working-directory
marketplace roots
- fail `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` when a configured
marketplace snapshot is missing or malformed instead of treating it as
an empty source or a generic plugin miss
- preserve marketplace snapshot semantics: a configured local/Git
marketplace snapshot can authorize installs without consulting the
original upstream source
- allow `plugins/cache` reuse only after configured marketplace
resolution succeeds
- keep removal resilient after marketplace deletion or drift and ignore
malformed marketplace config entries in listing

## Commands Added

- `codex plugin add <plugin>@<marketplace>`
- `codex plugin add <plugin> --marketplace <marketplace>`
- `codex plugin list`
- `codex plugin list --marketplace <marketplace>`
- `codex plugin remove <plugin>@<marketplace>`
- `codex plugin remove <plugin> --marketplace <marketplace>`

## Public Semantics

- `codex plugin add <plugin>@<marketplace>` succeeds only when
`<marketplace>` is configured and its local marketplace snapshot
contains `<plugin>`
- repo-local marketplaces are not install sources until the user runs
`codex plugin marketplace add ...`
- configured marketplace snapshots must be readable; missing or
malformed snapshots fail the CLI operation rather than silently falling
through to cache or empty results
- cached plugin artifacts can satisfy reinstall only when the configured
marketplace snapshot still authorizes that plugin
- cached plugin artifacts alone never make a plugin installable

## Tests

- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-cli --tests -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `git diff --check`
- `just bazel-lock-update`

deedf3b2c4 feat: add layered --profile-v2 config files (#17141)
## Why

`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.

That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.

## What Changed

- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.

## Limits

`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.

Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:

- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes

## Verification

Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

Also, introduce `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
app-server APIs to toggle on/off remote control at runtime for a given
running app-server instance.

## What Changed

- Adds experimental v2 RPCs:
  - `remoteControl/enable`
  - `remoteControl/disable`
- Adds `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and routes the new RPCs through
it instead of `ConfigRequestProcessor`.
- Adds named `RemoteControlHandle::enable`, `disable`, and `status`
methods.
- Makes `remoteControl/enable` return an error when sqlite state DB is
unavailable, while keeping enrollment/websocket failures as async status
updates.
- Adds `AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and hidden
`--remote-control` flags for `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`.
- Updates managed daemon startup to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://`.
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as removed and ignores
`[features].remote_control`.
- Updates app-server README entries for the new remote-control methods.

Owen LinandGitHub 512f8f8012 Improve remote-control daemon UX (#22562)
## Why

`codex remote-control` manages the app-server daemon with
`remote_control` enabled, but it previously only exposed an implicit
start path. Once started, there was no obvious top-level
`remote-control` command for stopping the daemon; users had to know
about the lower-level `codex app-server daemon stop` command.

The startup failure for missing managed installs was also ambiguous.
`codex remote-control` and daemon bootstrap require the standalone Codex
install under `CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/current/codex`, but the
old error only said to install Codex first, which is unclear when
another `codex` binary is already on PATH. Now we add an explicit
instruction for how to get the standalone Codex install.

## What changed

- Converts `codex remote-control` into a command group while preserving
bare `codex remote-control` as the existing start behavior.
- Adds `codex remote-control start` as the explicit start path.
- Adds `codex remote-control stop`, which maps to app-server daemon
stop.
- Updates the shared daemon managed-install error to name the missing
standalone path, explain why that install is required, provide the
installer command, and tell users to rerun the command they just tried.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-daemon`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `./target/debug/codex remote-control --help`

Felipe CouryandGitHub 9798eb377a feat(cli): add codex doctor diagnostics (#22336)
## Why

Users and support need a single command that captures the local Codex
runtime, configuration, auth, terminal, network, and state shape without
asking the user to know which diagnostic depth to choose first. `codex
doctor` now runs the useful checks by default and makes the detailed
human output the default because the command is usually run when someone
already needs context.

The command also targets concrete support failure modes we have seen
while iterating on the design:

- update-target mismatches like #21956, where the installed package
manager target can differ from the running executable
- terminal and multiplexer issues that depend on `TERM`, tmux/zellij
state, color handling, and TTY metadata
- provider-specific HTTP/WebSocket connectivity, including ChatGPT
WebSocket handshakes and API-key/provider endpoint reachability
- local state/log SQLite integrity problems and large rollout
directories
- feedback reports that need an attached, redacted diagnostic snapshot
without asking the user to run a second command

## What Changed

- Adds `codex doctor` as a grouped CLI diagnostic report with default
detailed output and `--summary` for the compact view.
- Adds stable report sections for Environment, Configuration, Updates,
Connectivity, and Background Server, plus a top Notes block that
promotes anomalies such as available updates, large rollout directories,
optional MCP issues, and mixed auth signals.
- Adds runtime provenance, install consistency, bundled/system search
readiness, terminal/multiplexer metadata, `config.toml` parse status,
auth mode details, sandbox details, feature flag summaries, update
cache/latest-version state, app-server daemon state, SQLite integrity
checks, rollout statistics, and provider-aware network diagnostics.
- Adds ChatGPT WebSocket diagnostics that report the negotiated HTTP
upgrade as `HTTP 101 Switching Protocols` and include timeout, DNS,
auth, and provider context in detailed output.
- Makes reachability provider-aware: API-key OpenAI setups check the API
endpoint, ChatGPT auth checks the ChatGPT path, and custom/AWS/local
providers check configured HTTP endpoints when available.
- Adds structured, redacted JSON output where `checks` is keyed by check
id and `details` is a key/value object for support tooling.
- Integrates doctor with feedback uploads by attaching a best-effort
`codex-doctor-report.json` report and adding derived Sentry tags for
overall status and failing/warning checks.
- Updates the TUI feedback consent copy so users can see that the doctor
report is included when logs/diagnostics are uploaded.
- Updates the CLI bug issue template to ask reporters for `codex doctor
--json` and render pasted reports as JSON.

## Example Output

The examples below are sanitized from local smoke runs with `--no-color`
so the structure is reviewable in plain text.

## How to Test

1. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --no-color`.
2. Confirm the detailed report is the default and includes promoted
Notes, grouped sections, terminal details, state DB integrity, rollout
stats, provider reachability, WebSocket diagnostics, and app-server
status.
3. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --summary --no-color`.
4. Confirm the compact view keeps the same sections and summary counts
but omits detailed key/value rows.
5. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --json`.
6. Confirm the output is redacted JSON, `checks` is an object keyed by
check id, and each check's `details` is a key/value object.
7. Preview the CLI bug issue template and confirm the `Codex doctor
report` field appears after the terminal field, asks for `codex doctor
--json`, and renders pasted output as JSON.
8. Start a feedback flow that includes logs.
9. Confirm the upload consent copy lists `codex-doctor-report.json`
alongside the log attachments.

Targeted tests:

- `cargo test -p codex-cli doctor`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
doctor_report_tags_summarize_status_counts`
- `cargo test -p codex-feedback`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui feedback_view`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `git diff --check`

2026-05-13 17:32:15 +00:00
Michael BolinandGitHub 889ee018e7 config: add strict config parsing (#20559)
## Why

Codex intentionally ignores unknown `config.toml` fields by default so
older and newer config files keep working across versions. That leniency
also makes typo detection hard because misspelled or misplaced keys
disappear silently.

This change adds an opt-in strict config mode so users and tooling can
fail fast on unrecognized config fields without changing the default
permissive behavior.

This feature is possible because `serde_ignored` exposes the exact
signal Codex needs: it lets Codex run ordinary Serde deserialization
while recording fields Serde would otherwise ignore. That avoids
requiring `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` across every config type and
keeps strict validation opt-in around the existing config model.

## What Changed

### Added strict config validation

- Added `serde_ignored`-based validation for `ConfigToml` in
`codex-rs/config/src/strict_config.rs`.
- Combined `serde_ignored` with `serde_path_to_error` so strict mode
preserves typed config error paths while also collecting fields Serde
would otherwise ignore.
- Added strict-mode validation for unknown `[features]` keys, including
keys that would otherwise be accepted by `FeaturesToml`'s flattened
boolean map.
- Kept typed config errors ahead of ignored-field reporting, so
malformed known fields are reported before unknown-field diagnostics.
- Added source-range diagnostics for top-level and nested unknown config
fields, including non-file managed preference source names.

### Kept parsing single-pass per source

- Reworked file and managed-config loading so strict validation reuses
the already parsed `TomlValue` for that source.
- For actual config files and managed config strings, the loader now
reads once, parses once, and validates that same parsed value instead of
deserializing multiple times.
- Validated `-c` / `--config` override layers with the same
base-directory context used for normal relative-path resolution, so
unknown override keys are still reported when another override contains
a relative path.

### Scoped `--strict-config` to config-heavy entry points

- Added support for `--strict-config` on the main config-loading entry
points where it is most useful:
  - `codex`
  - `codex resume`
  - `codex fork`
  - `codex exec`
  - `codex review`
  - `codex mcp-server`
  - `codex app-server` when running the server itself
  - the standalone `codex-app-server` binary
  - the standalone `codex-exec` binary
- Commands outside that set now reject `--strict-config` early with
targeted errors instead of accepting it everywhere through shared CLI
plumbing.
- `codex app-server` subcommands such as `proxy`, `daemon`, and
`generate-*` are intentionally excluded from the first rollout.
- When app-server strict mode sees invalid config, app-server exits with
the config error instead of logging a warning and continuing with
defaults.
- Introduced a dedicated `ReviewCommand` wrapper in `codex-rs/cli`
instead of extending shared `ReviewArgs`, so `--strict-config` stays on
the outer config-loading command surface and does not become part of the
reusable review payload used by `codex exec review`.

### Coverage

- Added tests for top-level and nested unknown config fields, unknown
`[features]` keys, typed-error precedence, source-location reporting,
and non-file managed preference source names.
- Added CLI coverage showing invalid `--enable`, invalid `--disable`,
and unknown `-c` overrides still error when `--strict-config` is
present, including compound-looking feature names such as
`multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`.
- Added integration coverage showing both `codex app-server
--strict-config` and standalone `codex-app-server --strict-config` exit
with an error for unknown config fields instead of starting with
fallback defaults.
- Added coverage showing unsupported command surfaces reject
`--strict-config` with explicit errors.

## Example Usage

Run Codex with strict config validation enabled:

```shell
codex --strict-config
```

Strict config mode is also available on the supported config-heavy
subcommands:

```shell
codex --strict-config exec "explain this repository"
codex review --strict-config --uncommitted
codex mcp-server --strict-config
codex app-server --strict-config --listen off
codex-app-server --strict-config --listen off
```

For example, if `~/.codex/config.toml` contains a typo in a key name:

```toml
model = "gpt-5"
approval_polic = "on-request"
```

then `codex --strict-config` reports the misspelled key instead of
silently ignoring it. The path is shortened to `~` here for readability:

```text
$ codex --strict-config
Error loading config.toml:
~/.codex/config.toml:2:1: unknown configuration field `approval_polic`
  |
2 | approval_polic = "on-request"
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```

Without `--strict-config`, Codex keeps the existing permissive behavior
and ignores the unknown key.

Strict config mode also validates ad-hoc `-c` / `--config` overrides:

```text
$ codex --strict-config -c foo=bar
Error: unknown configuration field `foo` in -c/--config override

$ codex --strict-config -c features.foo=true
Error: unknown configuration field `features.foo` in -c/--config override
```

Invalid feature toggles are rejected too, including values that look
like nested config paths:

```text
$ codex --strict-config --enable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist

$ codex --strict-config --disable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist

$ codex --strict-config --enable multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
Error: Unknown feature flag: multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
```

Unsupported commands reject the flag explicitly:

```text
$ codex --strict-config cloud list
Error: `--strict-config` is not supported for `codex cloud`
```

## Verification

The `codex-cli` `strict_config` tests cover invalid `--enable`, invalid
`--disable`, the compound `multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`
case, unknown `-c` overrides, app-server strict startup failure through
`codex app-server`, and rejection for unsupported commands such as
`codex cloud`, `codex mcp`, `codex remote-control`, and `codex
app-server proxy`.

The config and config-loader tests cover unknown top-level fields,
unknown nested fields, unknown `[features]` keys, source-location
reporting, non-file managed config sources, and `-c` validation for keys
such as `features.foo`.

The app-server test suite covers standalone `codex-app-server
--strict-config` startup failure for an unknown config field.

## Documentation

The Codex CLI docs on developers.openai.com/codex should mention
`--strict-config` as an opt-in validation mode for supported
config-heavy entry points once this ships.

AbhinavandGitHub 392e94e9ea add --dangerously-bypass-hook-trust CLI flag (#21768)
# Why

Hook trust happens through the TUI in `/hooks` so it can block
non-interactive use cases. This flag will allow users that are using
codex headlessly to bypass hooks when they want to.

# What

This adds one invocation-scoped escape hatch.

- the CLI flag sets a runtime-only `bypass_hook_trust` override; there
is no durable `config.toml` setting
- hook discovery still respects normal enablement, so explicitly
disabled hooks remain disabled
- we show a `--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust is enabled. Enabled hooks
may run without review for this invocation.` message on startup so
accidental use is visible in both interactive and exec flows

This keeps “enabled” and “trusted” as separate concepts in the normal
path, while giving CI/E2E callers a stable way to opt into the
exceptional path when they already control the hook set.
2026-05-13 07:13:57 +00:00
Eric TrautandGitHub ad572709ab Add support for UDS in codex --remote (#22414)
## Why

Added support for UDS connections in `codex --remote`.

TUI also now connects to local app-server using UDS by default if it is
running and set to listen to UDS connection.

## What Changed

- Introduced `RemoteAppServerEndpoint` with `WebSocket` and `UnixSocket`
variants.
- Reused the existing JSON-RPC-over-WebSocket protocol over either a TCP
WebSocket stream or a UDS stream.
- Updated `codex --remote` to accept `ws://host:port`,
`wss://host:port`, `unix://`, and `unix://PATH`.
- Kept `--remote-auth-token-env` restricted to `wss://` and loopback
`ws://` remotes.
- Added a fast TUI startup probe for the default daemon socket, falling
back to the embedded app server when the daemon is absent or
unresponsive.

## Verification

- Manually verified that the updated remote flow works.
- Added coverage for UDS remote round trips, WebSocket auth headers,
auth-token transport policy, remote address parsing, and missing-daemon
fallback.
- Ran focused remote test coverage locally.

Eric TrautandGitHub 51bfb5f3b1 Restore app-server websocket listener with auth guard (#22404)
## Why
PR #21843 removed the TCP websocket app-server listener, but that also
removed functionality that still needs to exist. Restoring it as-is
would reopen the old remote exposure problem, so this keeps the restored
listener while making remote and non-loopback usage require explicit
auth.

## What Changed
- Mostly reverts #21843 and reapplies the small merge-conflict
resolutions needed on top of current main.
- Restores ws://IP:PORT parsing, the app-server TCP websocket acceptor,
websocket auth CLI flags, and the associated tests.
- The only intentional behavior change from the restored code is that
non-loopback websocket listeners now fail startup unless --ws-auth
capability-token or --ws-auth signed-bearer-token is configured.
Loopback listeners remain available for local and SSH-forwarding
workflows.

## Reviewer Focus
Please focus review on the small auth-enforcement delta layered on top
of the revert:

- codex-rs/app-server-transport/src/transport/websocket.rs:
start_websocket_acceptor now rejects unauthenticated non-loopback
websocket binds before accepting connections.
- codex-rs/app-server-transport/src/transport/auth.rs: helper logic
classifies unauthenticated non-loopback listeners.
- codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/connection_handling_websocket.rs:
tests cover unauthenticated ws://0.0.0.0 startup rejection and
authenticated non-loopback capability-token startup.

Everything else is intended to be revert/merge-conflict restoration
rather than new product behavior.

## Verification

- Manually verified that TUI remoting is restored and that auth is
enforced for non-localhost urls.

Owen LinandGitHub 2237a13cf1 mark Feature::RemoteControl as removed (#22386)
## Why

`remote_control` can appear in `config.toml`, CLI feature overrides, and
the app-server config APIs. Before this PR, app-server startup treated
`config.features.enabled(Feature::RemoteControl)` as the signal to start
remote control ([base
code](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/5e3ee5eddfa5333f2e0b011880abf0cbf92bd295/codex-rs/app-server/src/lib.rs#L678-L680)).
That meant a user with:

```toml
[features]
remote_control = true
```

would accidentally opt every app-server process into remote control.
Remote-control startup should instead be a per-process launch decision
made by CLI flags.

## What Changed

- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as `Stage::Removed`, keeping
`remote_control` as a known compatibility key while making it
config-inert.
- Adds a hidden `--remote-control` process flag to `codex app-server`
and standalone `codex-app-server`.
- Plumbs that flag through
`AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and makes app-server
startup use only that runtime option to decide whether to start remote
control.
- Removes the app-server config mutation hook that reloaded config and
toggled remote control at runtime.
- Updates managed daemon spawning to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://` instead of `--enable remote_control`.

Config APIs can still list, read, write, and set `remote_control`; those
operations just no longer affect remote-control process enrollment.

Owen LinandGitHub 4859d80ffe Update codex remote-control to start the daemon (#22218)
## Why
Update `codex remote-control` to use the new app server daemon commands
instead.
- if the updater loop is not running, bootstrap the daemon with remote
control enabled (`codex app-server daemon bootstrap --remote-control`)
- otherwise, enable the persisted remote-control setting and start the
daemon normally

Ruslan NigmatullinandGitHub a124ddb854 app-server: remove TCP websocket listener (#21843)
## Why

The app-server no longer needs to expose a TCP websocket listener.
Keeping that transport also kept around a separate listener/auth surface
that is unnecessary now that local clients can use stdio or the
Unix-domain control socket, while remote connectivity is handled by
`remote_control`.

## What Changed

- Removed `ws://IP:PORT` parsing and the `AppServerTransport::WebSocket`
startup path.
- Deleted the app-server websocket listener auth module and removed
related CLI flags/dependencies.
- Kept websocket framing only where it is still needed: over the
Unix-domain control socket and in the outbound `remote_control`
connection.
- Updated app-server CLI/help text and `app-server/README.md` to
document only `stdio://`, `unix://`, `unix://PATH`, and `off` for local
transports.
- Converted affected app-server integration coverage from TCP websocket
listeners to UDS-backed websocket connections, and added a parse test
that rejects `ws://` listen URLs.
- Removed the now-unused workspace `constant_time_eq` dependency and
refreshed `Cargo.lock` after `cargo shear` caught the drift.
- Moved test app-server UDS socket paths to short Unix temp paths so
macOS Bazel test sandboxes do not exceed Unix socket path limits.

## Verification

- Added/updated tests around UDS websocket transport behavior and
`ws://` listen URL rejection.
- `cargo shear`
- `cargo metadata --no-deps --format-version 1`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server unix_socket_transport`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server unix_socket_disconnect`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `git diff --check`

Local full Rust test execution was blocked before compilation by an
external fetch failure for the pinned `nornagon/crossterm` git
dependency. `just bazel-lock-update` and `just bazel-lock-check` were
retried after the manifest cleanup but remain blocked by external
BuildBuddy/V8 fetch timeouts.

Ruslan NigmatullinandGitHub 0c8d42525e [daemon] Add app-server daemon lifecycle management (#20718)
## Why

Desktop and mobile Codex clients need a machine-readable way to
bootstrap and manage `codex app-server` on remote machines reached over
SSH. The same flow is also useful for bringing up app-server with
`remote_control` enabled on a fresh developer machine and keeping that
managed install current without requiring a human session.

## What changed

- add the new experimental `codex-app-server-daemon` crate and wire it
into `codex app-server daemon` lifecycle commands: `start`, `restart`,
`stop`, `version`, and `bootstrap`
- add explicit `enable-remote-control` and `disable-remote-control`
commands that persist the launch setting and restart a running managed
daemon so the change takes effect immediately
- emit JSON success responses for daemon commands so remote callers can
consume them directly
- support a Unix-only pidfile-backed detached backend for lifecycle
management
- assume the standalone `install.sh` layout for daemon-managed binaries
and always launch `CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/current/codex`
- add bootstrap support for the standalone managed install plus a
detached hourly updater loop
- harden lifecycle management around concurrent operations, pidfile
ownership, stale state cleanup, updater ownership, managed-binary
preflight, Unix-only rejection, forced shutdown after the graceful
window, and updater process-group tracking/cleanup
- document the experimental Unix-only support boundary plus the
standalone bootstrap/update flow in
`codex-rs/app-server-daemon/README.md`

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-daemon -p codex-cli`
- live pid validation on `cb4`: `bootstrap --remote-control`, `restart`,
`version`, `stop`

## Follow-up

- Add updater self-refresh so the long-lived `pid-update-loop` can
replace its own executable image after installing a newer managed Codex
binary.

Owen LinandGitHub 129401df43 add top-level remote-control command (#21424)
## Summary

`codex --enable remote_control app-server --listen off` is the current
way to start a headless, remote-controllable app-server, but it is hard
to remember and exposes implementation details.

This adds `codex remote-control` as a friendly top-level wrapper for
that flow. The command starts a foreground app-server with local
transports disabled and enables `remote_control` only for that
invocation.

## Changes

- Add a visible `codex remote-control` CLI subcommand.
- Launch app-server with `AppServerTransport::Off`.
- Append `features.remote_control=true` after root feature toggles so
the explicit command wins over `--disable remote_control`.
- Reject root `--remote` / `--remote-auth-token-env`, matching other
non-TUI subcommands.
- Add tests for parsing, launch defaults, override ordering, and remote
flag rejection.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`

b2268999fe feat: make built-in MCPs first-class runtime servers (#21356)
## DISCLAIMER
This is experimental and no production service must rely on this

## Why

Built-in MCPs are product-owned runtime capabilities, but they were
previously flattened into the same config-backed stdio path as
user-configured servers. That made them depend on a hidden `codex
builtin-mcp` re-exec path, exposed them through config-oriented CLI
flows, and erased distinctions the runtime needs to preserve—most
notably whether an MCP call should count as external context for
memory-mode pollution.

## What changed

- Model product-owned built-ins separately from config-backed MCP
servers via `BuiltinMcpServer` and `EffectiveMcpServer`.
- Launch built-ins in process through a reusable async transport instead
of the hidden `builtin-mcp` stdio subcommand.
- Keep config-oriented CLI operations such as `codex mcp
list/get/login/logout` scoped to configured servers, while merging
built-ins only into the effective runtime server set.
- Retain server metadata after launch so parallel-tool support and
context classification come from the live server set; built-in
`memories` is now classified as local Codex state rather than external
context.

## Test plan

- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test suite
builtin_memories_mcp_call_does_not_mark_thread_memory_mode_polluted_when_configured`
