## Why
Remote stdio MCP servers can run in an environment whose path convention
differs from the Codex host. A Windows cwd such as
`C:\Users\openai\share` is absolute for the executor but was rejected by
a POSIX orchestrator.
Built on #29501, now merged, which only clarifies the host-native
`PathUri` constructor name.
## What changed
- Deserialize MCP cwd values as `LegacyAppPathString` so config does not
apply host path rules.
- Interpret that spelling as host-native for local launches and convert
it to `PathUri` at executor launch.
- Skip host filesystem and command resolution checks for remote stdio in
`codex doctor`.
- Add host-independent config and executor-boundary coverage using the
foreign path convention for each test platform.

## Why
The token-budget feature reports coarse remaining-context milestones,
but it does not give the model a configurable wrap-up prompt before
automatic compaction. A strict threshold-crossing check can also miss
resumed or reconfigured windows that are already inside the threshold.
## What changed
- Add structured `[features.token_budget]` configuration for an absolute
`reminder_threshold_tokens` and bounded `reminder_message_template`;
`{n_remaining}` is expanded when the reminder is delivered.
- Compute remaining tokens against the next effective auto-compaction
boundary, including scoped `body_after_prefix` accounting and the full
context-window limit.
- Make reminder delivery level-triggered before and after sampling, with
one-shot state owned by `AutoCompactWindow` and re-armed on compaction,
`new_context`, restore, or history replacement.
- Leave the existing initial full-window token-budget context, 25/50/75%
notices, and token-budget tools unchanged.
- Persist the resolved feature configuration in the session config lock
and regenerate the config schema.

## Why
Orchestrator-provided skills and Codex Apps MCP tools add model-visible
instructions, resources, and tools beyond the local workspace. Hosts
need config-level switches to disable those orchestrator-owned surfaces
independently, without disabling regular skills or regular MCP servers.
## What changed
- Adds `[orchestrator.skills].enabled` and `[orchestrator.mcp].enabled`
config entries, both defaulting to `true`.
- Includes the new settings in `config.schema.json` and in the config
lock so resolved thread configuration preserves the same orchestrator
exposure decisions.
- Threads `orchestrator.skills.enabled` through the app-server skills
extension so disabled orchestrator skills do not expose the `skills`
namespace or inject orchestrator skill context.
- Gates Codex Apps MCP exposure, app instructions, and app auth
eligibility on `orchestrator.mcp.enabled` while leaving non-Codex-Apps
MCP tools available.
- Updates the thread-manager sample config to disable both
orchestrator-owned surfaces.
## Verification
- Added config parsing, loading, defaulting, and schema coverage for the
new settings.
- Added MCP exposure coverage that `orchestrator.mcp.enabled = false`
removes Codex Apps tools while preserving regular MCP tools.
- Added app-server coverage that `orchestrator.skills.enabled = false`
prevents orchestrator skill tools, prompts, and resource reads from
reaching the model turn.
## 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
```

## 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.

## What
This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).
```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```
The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.
## Scope
This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.
The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.
## Tests
The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.
Local checks:
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`

## Summary
Introduces the default-off `respect_system_proxy` feature flag used to
gate first-class system PAC/proxy support for Codex-owned native
clients.
With the feature disabled or absent, behavior remains unchanged. This PR
establishes the configuration and managed-requirement surface; proxy
discovery and request routing are implemented by follow-up PRs.
## Configuration
User configuration uses the standard boolean feature form:
```toml
[features]
respect_system_proxy = true
```
Managed feature requirements use the corresponding boolean key. The
effective runtime configuration is exposed as a boolean and defaults to
`false`.
## Implementation
- Registers `respect_system_proxy` as an under-development, default-off
feature.
- Resolves user configuration and managed feature requirements into
`Config.respect_system_proxy`.
- Provides bootstrap resolution for startup paths that must evaluate the
feature before full configuration loading completes.
- Uses the standard feature CLI and config-editing behavior.
- Excludes `features.respect_system_proxy` from project-local
configuration.
- Updates the generated configuration schema.
## End-user behavior
- No networking behavior changes when the feature is absent or disabled.
- Enabling the feature makes the boolean available to the native
proxy-routing implementation in follow-up PRs.
- Repository-local configuration cannot enable the feature.
## Test coverage
Covers scalar configuration and CLI override resolution, managed
requirement constraints, bootstrap resolution, and project-local
filtering.
## Why
`fs/readFile` buffers the entire file in one response, which makes large
remote reads expensive and prevents callers from applying backpressure.
We need an opt-in streaming path with bounded block sizes while
preserving the existing single-call API for small and sandboxed reads.
## What changed
- Add `ExecServerClient::stream`, returning a named `FileReadStream`
that implements `futures::Stream` and yields immutable 1 MiB byte
blocks.
- Add internal `fs/open`, `fs/readBlock`, and `fs/close` RPCs.
`fs/readBlock` accepts an explicit offset and length.
- Keep unsandboxed files open between block reads, cap open handles per
connection, and clean them up on EOF, error, stream drop, explicit
close, or connection shutdown.
- Reject platform-sandboxed streaming opens instead of turning the
one-shot sandbox helper into a persistent server. Existing `fs/readFile`
behavior is unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- Integration coverage for 1 MiB chunking, exact block-boundary EOF,
sandbox rejection, and continued reads from the opened file after path
replacement.
- Handle-manager coverage for non-sequential offsets, variable block
lengths, the 128-handle limit, and capacity release after close.
## Why
[#18763](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18763) added canonical
hostname resolution for `remote_sandbox_config`. Requirements
composition currently performs that synchronous DNS lookup on every
fresh process, even when none of the loaded requirements layers contains
`[[remote_sandbox_config]]`. On hosts with slow local DNS resolution,
this can add several seconds to Codex startup.
## What
- defer hostname resolution until a parsed requirements layer actually
contains `remote_sandbox_config`
- cache the resolver result once per requirements composition,
preserving the existing single-lookup behavior across multiple layers
- keep the existing FQDN resolution and per-layer requirements
precedence unchanged
- cover both the ordinary no-lookup path and the multi-layer
single-lookup path
## How to Test
On a host where local canonical-name resolution is slow:
1. Start Codex without `[[remote_sandbox_config]]` in any managed
requirements layer and confirm startup no longer waits for hostname
resolution.
2. Add a matching `[[remote_sandbox_config]]` entry and confirm its
`allowed_sandbox_modes` still overrides the layer's top-level value.
3. Add remote sandbox entries to multiple requirements layers and
confirm precedence remains unchanged while the hostname is resolved only
once.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-config hostname_resolver`
- `just test -p codex-config` (181 passed)
## Why
Managed deployments need a reliable deny gate for remote control.
Persisted enablement and explicit startup requests currently remain able
to start the transport, while the removed `features.remote_control` key
is intentionally only a compatibility no-op.
This adds a dedicated requirement that administrators can use to force
remote control off without deleting the user's persisted preference.
Removing the requirement and restarting restores the prior choice.
## What Changed
- Added top-level `allow_remote_control` requirements parsing, sourced
layer precedence, debug output, and `configRequirements/read` exposure
as `allowRemoteControl`.
- Added a typed transport policy captured from the startup requirements
snapshot. Managed disable forces the initial state to disabled and
prevents enrollment, refresh, connection, and persisted-preference
mutation.
- Rejected every `remoteControl/*` RPC before parameter deserialization
with JSON-RPC `-32600` and `remote control is disabled by managed
requirements`.
- Preserved the existing disabled status notification and the previous
behavior when the requirement is `true` or omitted.
- Regenerated app-server protocol schemas and documented the new
requirement.
## Verification
- Confirmed all remote-control RPCs, including a malformed request,
return the managed-policy error while the initial status notification
remains `disabled`.
- Confirmed explicit ephemeral startup and persisted enablement make no
backend connection and leave the SQLite preference unchanged.
- Confirmed `allow_remote_control = true` does not enable or block
remote control and `configRequirements/read` returns
`allowRemoteControl: false` for the deny policy.
Related issue: N/A (managed-policy hardening).
## Why
`PathUri::from_abs_path` can fail for absolute paths that do not have a
normal `file:` URI representation, forcing filesystem call sites to
handle a conversion error even though the original path can be preserved
losslessly.
## What
Make `from_abs_path` infallible and migrate its callers. Unrepresentable
paths use `file:///%00/bad/path/<base64>`, encoding Unix bytes or
Windows UTF-16LE; `to_abs_path` validates and decodes that fallback. The
leading encoded null reserves a namespace that cannot collide with a
real Unix or Windows path, and fallback URIs remain opaque to lexical
path operations.
## Validation
Added path-URI coverage for Unix null and non-UTF-8 paths, Windows
device/verbatim and non-Unicode paths, serialization, malformed
fallbacks, opaque lexical operations, invalid native payloads, and
literal `/bad/path` collision resistance.
## Why
Windows Credential Manager limits generic credential blobs to 2,560
bytes. The encrypted local secrets backend avoids storing large
serialized auth payloads directly in the OS keyring, but selecting that
backend needs an independently reviewable feature/config layer before
the auth and secrets implementation is wired in.
## What Changed
- Added the stable `secret_auth_storage` feature, enabled by default on
Windows and disabled by default elsewhere.
- Added `AuthKeyringBackendKind` and config resolution for full and
bootstrap config loading.
- Applied managed feature requirements when resolving the bootstrap auth
backend.
- Updated the generated config schema and added focused tests.
This is the base PR for #17931. The auth, secrets, MCP, CLI, TUI, and
app-server implementation remains in that follow-up PR.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core
resolve_bootstrap_auth_keyring_backend_kind_uses_secret_auth_storage_feature`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
The full `just test -p codex-core` run compiled successfully and ran
2,690 tests; 2,589 passed, one was flaky, and 101 environment-sensitive
tests failed because this shell injects a `pyenv` rehash warning into
command output or because sandboxed subprocesses timed out.
## 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`.

## Summary
- add `approvals_reviewer` support to `[apps._default]`
- resolve connected-app reviewers in per-app, app-default, then global
order
- expose the setting through the v2 config API and regenerate schema
fixtures
## Context
PR #25167 added `apps.<connector_id>.approvals_reviewer`, but the shared
app defaults table could not specify the reviewer. This extends the same
behavior to `[apps._default]` while preserving per-app overrides.
Managed `allowed_approvals_reviewers` requirements still constrain both
default and per-app values. A disallowed app value falls back to the
global reviewer, and non-app MCP servers continue using the global
reviewer.
## Testing

## Why
First-party async traits should expose their `Send` contracts explicitly
without requiring `async_trait`. This completes the migration pattern
established in #27303 and #27304.
## What changed
- Replaced the remaining first-party `async_trait` traits with native
return-position `impl Future + Send` where statically dispatched and
explicit boxed `Send` futures where object safety is required.
- Kept implementations behavior-preserving, outlining existing async
bodies into inherent methods where that keeps the diff reviewable.
- Removed all direct first-party `async-trait` dependencies and the
workspace dependency declaration.
- Added a cargo-deny policy that permits `async-trait` only through the
remaining transitive wrapper crates.
- Updated `rand` from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 to resolve RUSTSEC-2026-0097 and
keep the full cargo-deny check passing.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`: 216 passed, 2 skipped.
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`: 39 passed.
- `just test -p codex-core` and `just test`: changed tests passed;
remaining failures are environment-sensitive suites unrelated to this
migration.

- `just fix`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
Addresses #25875.
## Summary
`hooks.json` accepted unknown top-level fields. A file with
`SessionStart` at the root parsed as an empty hook configuration without
warning.
## Repro
```json
{ "SessionStart": [...] }
```
Previously: zero hooks, zero warnings.
Now:
```text
unknown field `SessionStart`, expected `hooks`
```
The supported shape remains:
```json
{ "hooks": { "SessionStart": [...] } }
```
## Fix
Reject unknown top-level fields and surface the parse warning in human
and JSONL `codex exec` output.
## Why
We're moving exec-server to use PathUri for its internal path
representations.
## What
Move `ExecutorFileSystem` APIs to use `PathUri` instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf`. Future changes will convert higher-level parts of
exec-server.
## Stack
- Base: #27191
- This PR is the third vertical and should be reviewed against
`jif/external-plugins-2`, not `main`.
## Why
#27191 moves the host-owned Apps MCP registration behind an extension
contributor, but deliberately preserves the existing endpoint-selection
feature while that contribution contract lands. App-server can therefore
resolve the server through extensions, yet the hosted plugin endpoint is
still selected through temporary `apps_mcp_path_override` plumbing.
That is not the long-term plugin model. A plugin can bundle skills,
connectors, MCP servers, and hooks, and those components do not all need
the same source or execution environment. In particular, an
authenticated HTTP MCP server can expose plugin capabilities directly
from a backend without an executor or an orchestrator filesystem.
This PR completes that hosted vertical. App-server's MCP extension now
owns the aggregate hosted plugin runtime at `/ps/mcp`. Connector actions
continue to arrive as MCP tools, while backend-provided skills arrive as
MCP resources and use Codex's existing resource list/read paths. No
second backend client, skill filesystem, or generic plugin activation
framework is introduced.
The backend route remains the hosted implementation. This change
replaces Codex's temporary endpoint-selection mechanism, not the service
behind the endpoint.
## What changed
### Hosted plugin runtime
The MCP extension now contributes `codex_apps` as the hosted plugin
runtime rather than as a configurable Apps endpoint:
- `https://chatgpt.com` resolves to
`https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/mcp`;
- a bare custom ChatGPT base resolves to `/api/codex/ps/mcp`;
- the existing product-SKU header and ChatGPT authentication behavior
are preserved;
- executor availability is never consulted for this streamable HTTP
transport.
The same MCP connection carries both component shapes supported by the
hosted endpoint:
- connector actions are discovered and invoked as MCP tools;
- hosted skills are enumerated and read as MCP resources through the
existing `list_mcp_resources` and `read_mcp_resource` paths.
This keeps component access in the subsystem that already owns the
protocol instead of downloading backend skills into an orchestrator
filesystem or inventing a parallel hosted-skill client.
### Explicit runtime ordering
`McpManager` now resolves the reserved `codex_apps` entry in three
ordered phases:
1. install the legacy Apps fallback for compatibility;
2. apply ordered extension `Set` or `Remove` overlays;
3. apply the final ChatGPT-auth gate without synthesizing the server
again.
This ordering is important:
- an ordinary configured or plugin MCP server cannot claim the
auth-bearing `codex_apps` name;
- an extension-contributed hosted runtime wins over the fallback;
- an extension `Remove` remains authoritative;
- a host without the MCP extension retains the legacy Apps endpoint and
current local-only behavior.
The temporary `legacy_apps_mcp_loader_enabled` coordination flag is no
longer needed.
### Remove the path override
The `apps_mcp_path_override` feature and its runtime plumbing are
removed, including:
- the feature registry entry and structured feature config;
- `Config` and `McpConfig` fields;
- config schema output;
- config-lock materialization;
- URL override handling in `codex-mcp`.
Existing boolean and structured forms still deserialize as ignored
compatibility input. They are omitted from new serialized config, and
config-lock comparison normalizes the removed input so older locks
remain replayable.
### App-server coverage
App-server MCP fixtures now serve the hosted route at
`/api/codex/ps/mcp`. Existing resource-read and tool/elicitation flows
therefore exercise the extension-owned endpoint rather than succeeding
through the legacy fallback.
The stack also adds the missing `codex_chatgpt::connectors` re-export
for the manager-backed connector helper introduced in #27191.
## Compatibility
- App-server installs the extension and uses `/ps/mcp` for the hosted
runtime.
- CLI and other hosts that do not install the extension retain the
legacy Apps endpoint.
- Apps disabled or non-ChatGPT authentication removes `codex_apps` from
the effective runtime view.
- Existing local plugins, local skills, executor-selected skills,
configured MCP servers, and MCP OAuth behavior are otherwise unchanged.
- Backend plugin enablement remains account/workspace state owned by the
hosted endpoint; this PR does not add thread-local backend plugin
selection.
## Architectural fit
The stack now proves two independent runtime shapes:
1. #27184 resolves filesystem-backed skills through the executor that
owns a selected root.
2. #27191 and this PR resolve a backend-hosted HTTP MCP through an
extension with no executor.
Together they preserve the intended separation:
- selection identifies a plugin/root when explicit selection is needed;
- each component's owning extension resolves its concrete access
mechanism;
- execution stays with the runtime required by that component;
- existing skills, MCP, connector, and hook subsystems remain the
downstream consumers.
## Planned follow-ups
1. **Executor stdio MCP:** selecting an executor plugin registers a
manifest-declared stdio MCP server and executes it in the environment
that owns the plugin.
2. **Optional backend selection:** only if CCA needs thread-local
selection distinct from backend account/workspace enablement, add a
concrete backend-owned capability location and surface those selected
skills through the skills catalog.
3. **Connector metadata and hooks:** activate those plugin components
through their existing owning subsystems, with executor hooks remaining
environment-bound.
4. **Propagation and persistence:** define explicit resume, fork,
subagent, refresh, and environment-removal semantics once selected roots
have multiple real consumers.
5. **Local convergence:** migrate legacy local skill, MCP, connector,
and hook paths behind their owning extensions one vertical at a time,
then remove duplicate core managers and compatibility plumbing after
parity.
## Verification
Coverage in this change exercises:
- extension-owned `/backend-api/ps/mcp` registration without an
executor;
- preservation of the legacy endpoint in hosts without the extension;
- extension `Set` and `Remove` precedence over the legacy fallback;
- ChatGPT-auth gating for the reserved server;
- hosted MCP resource reads with and without an active thread;
- connector tool invocation and MCP elicitation through the hosted
route;
- ignored boolean and structured forms of the removed path override;
- config-lock replay compatibility for the removed feature.
`cargo check -p codex-features -p codex-mcp-extension -p
codex-app-server` passes. Tests and Clippy were not run locally under
the current development instruction; CI provides the full validation
pass.
## Why
Auto Review should remain the effective approval reviewer when settings
cross runtime boundaries. A config or app-server round trip must not
change the reviewer identity, and delegated work must not silently fall
back to user review.
This requires both a stable canonical serialized value and propagation
of the effective setting. `auto_review` is the canonical value across
protocol and app-server output, while `guardian_subagent` remains
accepted as backward-compatible input.
## What changed
- serialize `ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview` consistently as
`auto_review` across core protocol and app-server v2
- continue accepting `guardian_subagent` when reading existing config or
client requests
- carry the active turn's approval reviewer into spawned agents
- update config/debug expectations and add delegated-task regression
coverage
## Scope
This does not change Guardian policy or remove compatibility with
existing `guardian_subagent` inputs. It preserves the selected reviewer
across serialization, config reloads, app-server settings, and delegated
task setup.
Related Guardian changes are split independently:
- #26231 adds denials and soft denials
- #26334 retries transient reviewer failures
- #26333 reuses narrowly scoped low-risk approvals
- #26232 adds TUI denial recovery
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` (224 passed)
- regression coverage for delegated task reviewer propagation
- serialization coverage for canonical `auto_review` output and legacy
`guardian_subagent` input

## Why
Permission profile allowlists are an enterprise security boundary, but
they also need to compose across the managed requirements layers added
in #24620.
A map representation lets each requirements layer add, allow, or revoke
individual profiles without replacing an entire array.
## Managed Contract
Administrators configure the mergeable allow map with
`allowed_permission_profiles`. A recommended enterprise configuration
explicitly lists every built-in and custom profile users should be able
to select:
```toml
default_permissions = "review_only"
[allowed_permission_profiles]
":read-only" = true
":workspace" = true
review_only = true
# ":danger-full-access" is intentionally omitted, so it is denied.
[permissions.review_only]
extends = ":read-only"
```
- Profiles whose effective merged value is `true` are allowed.
- Missing profiles and profiles set to `false` are denied.
- This is a closed allowlist: built-in profiles and profiles introduced
in future versions are denied unless explicitly allowed.
- Explicitly list each built-in profile the enterprise wants to make
available. Omit built-ins such as `:danger-full-access` when they should
remain unavailable.
- Set `default_permissions` explicitly to the allowed profile users
should receive when they have no local selection.
- Higher-precedence layers override only the profile keys they define.
- `false` is only needed when a higher-precedence layer must revoke a
`true` inherited from a lower layer.
- Explicit keys must refer to known built-in or managed profiles.
A custom or narrowed allowlist requires an allowed
`default_permissions`. For compatibility, if both `:workspace` and
`:read-only` are explicitly allowed, an omitted default resolves to
`:workspace`; customer configurations should still set the intended
default explicitly.
When `allowed_permission_profiles` is absent, existing implicit
permission and legacy `sandbox_mode` behavior is unchanged.
## What Changed
- Add `allowed_permission_profiles` as a `BTreeMap<String, bool>` that
merges per profile across requirements layers.
- Enforce managed defaults, strict denial of omitted profiles, and the
explicitly allowed standard-pair fallback.
- Expose `allowedPermissionProfiles` through `configRequirements/read`
and regenerate its schemas.
- Add regression coverage for map composition and revocation, managed
defaults, strict denial of omitted built-ins, and API output.
## Verification
- Focused `codex-config` coverage for layered map composition and
revocation
- Focused `codex-core` coverage for managed defaults, invalid defaults,
strict denial of omitted built-ins, and the standard built-in pair
- Focused `codex-app-server` coverage for requirements API output
- Scoped Clippy for `codex-config`, `codex-core`,

## Documentation
The managed `requirements.toml` documentation should introduce
`allowed_permission_profiles` as a closed permission-profile allowlist
before this setting is published on developers.openai.com.

## Why
Research and training setups need to control which tool namespaces
appear inside code mode's nested `tools` surface without disabling those
tools entirely. This makes it possible to train against a deliberately
reduced nested-tool setup while preserving the normal direct and
deferred tool paths.
## What
- Extend `features.code_mode` to accept structured configuration while
preserving the existing boolean syntax.
- Add an exact `excluded_tool_namespaces` list under
`[features.code_mode]`:
```toml
[features.code_mode]
enabled = true
excluded_tool_namespaces = ["mcp__codex_apps", "multi_agent_v1"]
```
- Filter matching canonical `ToolName` namespaces when constructing code
mode's nested router and code-mode-specific direct tool descriptions.
- Keep excluded tools registered, directly exposed in mixed code mode,
and discoverable through top-level `tool_search` when otherwise
eligible.
- Derive deferred nested-tool guidance after namespace filtering so the
`exec` description does not advertise excluded-only deferred tools.
- Preserve the boolean/table representation when materializing config
locks and update the generated config schema.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`
- `just test -p codex-core
lock_contains_prompts_and_materializes_features`
- `just test -p codex-core
excluded_deferred_namespaces_do_not_enable_nested_tool_guidance`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_excludes_configured_nested_tool_namespaces`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the default way to represent Codex
permissions, but the implicit default behavior should stay the same for
now:
- trusted projects use `:workspace`
- untrusted projects also use `:workspace`
- roots without a trust decision use `:read-only`
- unsandboxed Windows falls back to `:read-only`
This keeps the existing sandbox semantics while making silent config
defaults observable as built-in permission profiles instead of treating
the legacy `SandboxPolicy` projection as the primary shape.
## What Changed
- Refactored legacy sandbox derivation to resolve the configured sandbox
mode once, then apply the implicit project fallback only when no sandbox
mode was configured.
- Preserved the existing trust-decision fallback: trusted and untrusted
projects default to workspace-write where supported.
- Added empty-config coverage asserting that an untrusted project
resolves to the built-in active permission profile (`:workspace` outside
unsandboxed Windows).
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core 'config::'`
- `just test -p codex-config`

## Why
`profile_sandbox_mode` was left over from the old selected legacy
profile path. Production now always derives permissions without that
value, and legacy profile contents are ignored, so keeping a parameter
that is always `None` makes `derive_permission_profile` look like it
still supports a fallback that no longer exists.
## What Changed
- Removed the `profile_sandbox_mode` argument from
`ConfigToml::derive_permission_profile`.
- Updated the production caller and legacy sandbox-policy test helper to
match.
- Dropped the stale unselected legacy-profile sandbox test that only
protected the removed fallback shape.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core 'config::'`

## Summary
- Adapts the moved `codex-cloud-config` crate from the legacy cloud
requirements endpoint to the new config bundle endpoint.
- Switches runtime consumers from `CloudRequirementsLoader` to
`CloudConfigBundleLoader` so one shared bundle supplies cloud-delivered
config and requirements.
- Removes the legacy cloud requirements domain loader path.
## Details
This intentionally keeps `codex-cloud-config` monolithic for review
lineage: the previous PR establishes the crate move, and this PR shows
the behavior change against that moved implementation. A follow-up PR
splits the module back into focused files.
The new bundle path preserves the important cloud requirements loader
semantics where intended: account-scoped signed cache, 30 minute TTL, 5
minute refresh cadence, retry/backoff, auth recovery, and fail-closed
startup loading. The cached payload changes from a single requirements
TOML string to the backend-delivered bundle, and validation rejects
malformed config or requirements fragments before cache write/use.
## Why
Permission profiles that extend a built-in profile should behave like
other TOML inheritance: parent entries provide defaults, and child keys
override matching fields before the profile is compiled.
That was not true for `:workspace`. Previously, a profile with `extends
= ":workspace"` seeded the compiled runtime
`PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` policy and then appended child
filesystem entries. A child override such as `":tmpdir" = "read"`
therefore left the inherited `":tmpdir" = "write"` entry in the final
policy. Since same-target `write` wins over `read` during runtime
resolution, the child override was ineffective.
This also needs a clear source of truth for the built-in profiles. The
protocol-level sandbox policy constructors now define the raw built-in
filesystem entries, and both `PermissionProfile` presets and
config-profile inheritance derive from those same values.
## What Changed
- Add a canonical `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::read_only()` constructor
while keeping the read-only and workspace-write raw filesystem entries
explicit and independent.
- Derive `PermissionProfile::read_only()` from
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::read_only()`;
`PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` continues to derive from
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::workspace_write()`.
- Build extensible `:read-only` and `:workspace` parent profiles by
projecting those canonical sandbox policies into
`PermissionProfileToml`, then merge user overrides at the TOML layer
before compilation.
- Add config parsing support for `:slash_tmp` so the built-in
`:workspace` parent can be expressed in the same TOML-shaped filesystem
table as user profiles.
- Document that `PermissionsToml::resolve_profile()` returns an
already-merged `PermissionProfileToml`, and return that profile directly
after removing the resolved-profile wrapper.
- Extend the config test for `extends = ":workspace"` to assert that
inherited `":slash_tmp" = "write"` is preserved and that a child
`":tmpdir" = "read"` entry replaces the inherited `write` entry.
## Verification

## Summary

## Summary
PR 3 of 5 in the cloud-managed config client stack.
Adds enterprise-managed cloud config as a first-class config layer
source. The layer metadata is preserved through config loading,
diagnostics, debug output, hook attribution, and app-server protocol
surfaces.
## Details
- Enterprise-managed config becomes a normal config layer source with
backend-supplied `id` and display `name` attached for provenance.
- These layers are designed to behave like non-file managed config: they
can surface syntax/type diagnostics by layer name even though there is
no physical config file.
- Relative path settings are resolved from a stored config base so
cloud-delivered config remains consistent with existing MDM-delivered
config semantics.
- Hook attribution distinguishes config-delivered hooks from
requirements-delivered hooks via `HookSource::CloudManagedConfig`.
- This remains pull-based and snapshot-oriented; the PR adds layer
identity/diagnostics, not dynamic reload behavior.
## Validation
Validated through the targeted stack checks after rebasing onto current
`main`:
- Rust crate tests for
config/hooks/cloud-config/backend-client/app-server-protocol
- Filtered `codex-core` and `codex-app-server` `cloud_config_bundle`
tests
- Python generated-file contract test
- `cargo shear --deny-warnings`
- Targeted `argument-comment-lint` for config/hooks
## Summary
PR 2 of 5 in the cloud-managed config client stack.
Adds a shared requirements-layer composition engine. The composer
defines how ordered requirements layers combine, with focused tests for
the merge semantics and provenance behavior. The final PR in the stack
wires runtime requirements sources into this path.
## Details
- Mental model: requirements layers are ordered lowest priority first,
matching `ConfigLayerStack`; lower-priority layers provide defaults
while higher-priority layers win scalar/list conflicts.
- Regular fields use config-style TOML merging, including recursive
table merging, so requirements layering follows the same broad model as
`config.toml` layering.
- Domain-specific fields keep explicit semantics: `rules.prefix_rules`
and hooks preserve high-priority-first output, hooks fail closed on
active managed-dir conflicts, and `permissions.filesystem.deny_read`
dedupes as a stable high-priority-first union.
- `remote_sandbox_config` is evaluated within each layer before the
regular TOML merge, so host-specific sandbox constraints do not leak
across layers.
- Provenance points at the exact source when one layer owns a value and
uses composite provenance when a table field is assembled from multiple
layers.
## Validation
Local validation:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo check -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-config requirements_composition`
- `git diff --check`
CI will run the broader test matrix.
## Why
Closes#25006.
`tui.keymap` currently rejects `F13` even though Codex's terminal event
layer can report higher function keys. This prevents users from using
common remappings such as Caps Lock to `F13`.
## What Changed
- Define a shared portable upper bound of `F24` for stored TUI
keybindings.
- Accept `f13` through `f24` in config normalization and runtime
parsing.
- Allow `/keymap` capture to persist `F13` through `F24`.
- Update the unsupported-function-key error and add boundary tests for
`F13`, `F24`, and `F25`.
## How to Test
1. Add a binding such as:
```toml
[tui.keymap.global]
open_transcript = "f13"
```
2. Start Codex and press the remapped `F13` key.
3. Confirm Codex loads the config without the previous `F1 through F12`
error and the action runs.
4. Open `/keymap`, capture `F13` for an action, and confirm the saved
binding is `f13`.
5. As a regression check, try to capture `F25` and confirm Codex reports
that only `F1` through `F24` can be stored.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-tui function_keys`
Full `just test -p codex-tui` completed with 2,752 passing tests, 4
skipped tests, and two unrelated guardian feature-flag failures:
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default`
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
# Why
Managed requirements can already constrain sandbox policy choices, but
Windows sandbox implementation selection was still resolved
independently from those requirements. That left the TUI able to
continue through the unelevated fallback even when an organization wants
to require the elevated Windows sandbox implementation.
# What
- Add `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirements support
for the Windows `elevated` and `unelevated` implementations.
- Apply that allowlist during core config resolution so disallowed
configured or feature-selected Windows sandbox implementations fall back
to an allowed implementation with the existing requirements warning
path.
- Reuse the existing TUI Windows setup prompts to block disallowed
unelevated continuation, keep required elevated setup in front of the
user, and refuse to persist a TUI-selected Windows sandbox mode that
requirements disallow.
# Semantics
| Allowed | Selected | Effective |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `["elevated"]` | `unelevated` / unset | `elevated` |
| `["unelevated"]` | `elevated` / unset | `unelevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `elevated` | `elevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `unelevated` | `unelevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | unset | `elevated` |
Availability is handled by interactive setup surfaces after allowlist
resolution. If the effective elevated implementation is not ready,
elevated-only requirements block on setup. When unelevated is also
allowed, the UI may offer the existing unelevated fallback.
## TUI Screens
If elevated setup is not already complete:
```
Your organization requires the default Codex agent sandbox to continue. Set it up to protect your files and control
network access.
Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
› 1. Set up default sandbox (requires Administrator permissions)
2. Quit
```
If admin setup fails under `["elevated"]`:
```
Couldn't set up your sandbox with Administrator permissions
Your organization requires the default sandbox before Codex can continue.
Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
› 1. Try setting up admin sandbox again
2. Quit
```
# Next Steps
- extend the requirements/readout surface, such as
`configRequirements/read`, so clients can inspect the loaded
`[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirement instead of
inferring it from Windows setup state
- consider extending `windowsSandbox/readiness` as well
- update the App startup guide, setup flow, and banner surfaces so an
elevated-only requirement omits any continue-unelevated escape hatch and
blocks startup until a permitted implementation is ready;
- preserve the existing unelevated fallback path when requirements allow
it, including the `["unelevated"]` case where elevated is disallowed
## Summary
- add Vim normal-mode `s` support to substitute the character under the
cursor and enter insert mode
- fix Vim normal-mode `o` so opening below the final line moves the
cursor onto the new blank line
- update keymap config/schema and keymap picker snapshots for the new
action
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- focused `just test -p codex-tui` coverage for the Vim `s` and `o`
behavior, keymap conflict handling, and keymap picker snapshots
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots --manifest-path tui/Cargo.toml`
- `git diff --check`
## Notes
A full `just test -p codex-tui` run still has two unrelated Guardian
feature-flag failures in this checkout:
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default`
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
## Why
Interrupting an active turn is currently fixed to `Esc`, which is easy
to hit accidentally and cannot be customized through `/keymap`. This
gives users a less accidental binding while preserving the existing
default.
## What Changed
- Adds `tui.keymap.chat.interrupt_turn` to `/keymap`, defaulting to
`esc` and supporting remapping or unbinding.
- Uses the configured interrupt binding for running-turn status, queued
steer interruption, and `request_user_input`, including the visible
hints.
- Preserves local `Esc` behavior for popups, Vim insert mode, and
`/agent` editing while validating conflicts with fixed/backtrack and
request-input navigation bindings.
- Adds behavior and snapshot coverage for remapped interruption paths.
## How to Test
1. Run Codex and open `/keymap`, then set **Interrupt Turn** to `f12`.
2. Start a turn and confirm `Esc` no longer interrupts it while `f12`
does; the running hint should display `f12 to interrupt`.
3. Queue a steer while a turn is running and confirm the preview
displays `f12`; pressing it should interrupt and submit the steer
immediately.
4. Trigger a `request_user_input` prompt and confirm its footer uses
`f12`; with notes open, `Esc` should still clear notes while `f12`
interrupts the turn.
5. Clear the Interrupt Turn binding and confirm the key-specific
interrupt hint is removed while `Ctrl+C` remains available.

- `just fix -p codex-config`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`

- `just test -p codex-tui keymap_setup::tests`
- `just test -p codex-tui` (fails in two pre-existing guardian
feature-flag tests unrelated to this diff; the intentional picker
snapshot updates were reviewed and accepted)
## Why
Vim mode currently supports some normal-mode operators and motions, but
common text-object combinations like `ciw`, `daw`, `di(`, and
quote/bracket variants are still missing. That makes the composer feel
incomplete for users who expect operator + text object editing to work
inside prompts.
Closes#21383.
## What Changed
- Add Vim pending-state support for operator/text-object sequences.
- Add `c` as a normal-mode operator for text objects, so combinations
like `ciw` delete the object and enter insert mode.
- Support word, WORD, delimiter, and quote text objects:
- `iw`, `aw`, `iW`, `aW`
- `i(`, `a(`, `i)`, `a)`, `ib`, `ab`
- `i[`, `a[`, `i]`, `a]`
- `i{`, `a{`, `i}`, `a}`, `iB`, `aB`
- `i"`, `a"`, `i'`, `a'`, `i\``, `a\``
- Add configurable keymap entries and keymap picker coverage for the new
Vim text-object context.
- Regenerate the config schema and update keymap picker snapshots.
## How to Test
Manual smoke test:
1. Start Codex with Vim composer mode enabled.
2. Type a draft such as:
```text
alpha beta gamma
call(foo[bar], {"x": "hello world"})
say "one \"two\" three" now
```
3. Put the cursor on `beta`, press `ciw`, and confirm `beta` is removed
and the composer enters insert mode.
4. Escape back to normal mode, put the cursor on `gamma`, press `daw`,
and confirm `gamma` plus surrounding whitespace is removed.
5. Put the cursor inside `foo[bar]`, press `di[`, and confirm only `bar`
is removed.
6. Put the cursor inside `call(...)`, press `da(`, and confirm the whole
parenthesized section is removed.
7. Put the cursor inside the quoted text, press `ci"`, and confirm the
quote contents are removed and insert mode starts.
8. Verify cancellation does not edit text: press `d` then `Esc`, and
press `d` then `i` then `Esc`.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib vim_`
- `cargo nextest run -p codex-tui keymap_setup::tests`
Additional local checks:
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots --manifest-path tui/Cargo.toml`
Local full-suite note: `just test -p codex-tui` ran to completion. The
keymap snapshot failures were expected and accepted. Two unrelated
guardian feature-flag tests still fail locally:
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default`
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
`just argument-comment-lint` is currently blocked locally by Bazel
analysis before the lint runs because `compiler-rt` has an empty
`include/sanitizer/*.h` glob in the local Bazel cache. The touched Rust
diff was manually inspected for opaque positional literals.
## Why
The TUI Vim composer currently diverges from normal Vim editing in two
common workflows: pressing `e` repeatedly can remain stuck at an
existing word end, and normal mode does not support `C` for changing
through the end of the line. The existing `D` behavior also removes the
newline when the cursor is already at the line boundary, which makes the
new `C` action and existing deletion action surprising in multiline
prompts.
Closes#23926.
Closes#24238.
## What Changed
- Make normal-mode `e` advance from the current word end to the next
word end, including for operator motions such as `de`.
- Add configurable Vim normal-mode `change_to_line_end` behavior, bound
to `C` by default, which deletes to the end of the current line and
enters Insert mode.
- Keep the newline intact when `D` or `C` is pressed at the end-of-line
boundary.
- Add regression coverage for repeated `e`, `de`, `C`, and the multiline
`C`/`D` boundary behavior.
- Regenerate the config schema and update the keymap picker snapshots
for the new Vim action.
## How to Test
1. Run Codex with Vim composer mode enabled:
```bash
cd codex-rs
cargo run --bin codex -- -c tui.vim_mode_default=true
```
2. Enter `alpha beta gamma`, press `Esc`, `0`, then press `e`
repeatedly.
Confirm the cursor advances through the ends of `alpha`, `beta`, and
`gamma`.
3. Enter `hello world`, press `Esc`, `0`, `w`, then `C`.
Confirm `world` is deleted and the composer enters Insert mode.
4. Enter a multiline prompt with `hello` above `world`, press `Esc`,
`k`, `$`, and then `D`.
Confirm the newline is preserved and the two lines do not join.
5. At the same boundary, press `C` and type `!`.
Confirm the composer enters Insert mode and yields `hello!` above
`world`, preserving the newline.
Targeted automated verification:
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `just argument-comment-lint-from-source -p codex-tui -p codex-config`
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots` reports no pending snapshots.
- `just test -p codex-tui` validates the new Vim and keymap snapshot
coverage, but the command remains red due to two reproducible unrelated
failures in `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_*`.
## Validation Note
The workspace-wide `just argument-comment-lint` form is currently
blocked during Bazel analysis by the existing LLVM `compiler-rt` missing
`include/sanitizer/*.h` failure; package-scoped source linting for the
changed Rust crates passed.
## Summary
- Bump the workspace Rust toolchain from `1.93.0` to `1.95.0` across
Cargo, Bazel, CI, release workflows, devcontainers, and the Codex
environment config.
- Refresh `MODULE.bazel.lock` so the Bazel Rust toolchain artifacts
match the new version.
- Leave purpose-specific toolchains unchanged, including the
`argument-comment-lint` nightly and the upstream `rusty_v8` `1.91.0`
build pin.
- Includes fixes for new lints from `just fix` and a few codex-authored
fixes for lints without a suggestion.
## Why
The memories extension already has dedicated `list`, `read`, `search`,
and `add_ad_hoc_note` tools, but app-server registration was still
disabled. The memories app collaborator needs an explicit config switch
so those native extension tools can be exposed intentionally, without
making ordinary memory prompt usage automatically register the dedicated
tool surface.
## What changed
- Added `[memories].dedicated_tools`, defaulting to `false`, to
`MemoriesToml` / `MemoriesConfig`.
- Regenerated `core/config.schema.json` for the new setting.
- Registered the memories extension as a `ToolContributor`, while
keeping tool contribution gated on both memories being enabled and
`dedicated_tools = true`.
- Added tests for the disabled default, the enabled dedicated-tools
path, and installer registration.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-config -p codex-memories-extension`
## Why
The old config-profile mechanism should no longer influence runtime
behavior now that profile selection has moved to file-based `--profile`
config files. Core already rejects a selected legacy `profile = "..."`
with a migration error in
[`core/src/config/mod.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d6451fcb79edc4a71bc9e811bcda06fd3c36562e/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L2521-L2529),
but a few residual consumers still read legacy `[profiles.*]` data while
performing managed-feature checks and personality migration.
That kept dead legacy profile state relevant after selection had been
removed, and could make personality migration depend on a stale or
missing old profile.
## What changed
- Stop scanning legacy `[profiles.*]` feature settings when validating
managed feature requirements.
- Make personality migration consider only top-level `personality` and
`model_provider` settings.
- Remove the now-unused `ConfigToml::get_config_profile` helper.
- Update personality migration coverage to verify that legacy profile
personality fields and missing legacy profile names no longer affect
that migration path.
This keeps the legacy `profile` / `profiles` config shape available for
the remaining compatibility and migration diagnostics; it only removes
these behavior consumers.
## Verification
- Updated `core/tests/suite/personality_migration.rs` for the new
legacy-profile behavior.
- Focused test command: `cargo test -p codex-core
personality_migration`.
## Why
The package layout gives Codex a stable place for runtime helpers that
should travel with the entrypoint. `shell_zsh_fork` still required users
to configure `zsh_path` manually, even though we already publish
prebuilt zsh fork artifacts.
This PR builds on #24129 and uses the shared DotSlash artifact fetcher
to include the zsh fork in Codex packages when a matching target
artifact exists. Packaged Codex builds can then discover the bundled
fork automatically; the user/profile `zsh_path` override is removed so
the feature uses the package-managed artifact instead of a legacy path
knob.
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/codex_package/codex-zsh`, a checked-in DotSlash
manifest for the current macOS arm64 and Linux zsh fork artifacts.
- Taught `scripts/build_codex_package.py` to fetch the matching zsh fork
artifact and install it at `codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh` when available
for the selected target.
- Added package layout validation for the optional bundled zsh resource.
- Added `InstallContext::bundled_zsh_path()` and
`InstallContext::bundled_zsh_bin_dir()` for package-layout resource
discovery.
- Threaded the packaged zsh path through config loading as the runtime
`zsh_path` for packaged installs, and removed the config/profile/CLI
override path.
- Kept the packaged default zsh override typed as `AbsolutePathBuf`
until the existing runtime `Config::zsh_path` boundary.
- Updated app-server zsh-fork integration tests to spawn
`codex-app-server` from a temporary package layout with
`codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh`, matching the new packaged discovery path
instead of setting `zsh_path` in config.
- Switched package executable copying from metadata-preserving `copy2()`
to `copyfile()` plus explicit executable bits, which avoids macOS
file-flag failures when local smoke tests use system binaries as inputs.
## Testing
To verify that the `zsh` executable from the Codex package is picked up
correctly, first I ran:
```shell
./scripts/build_codex_package.py
```
which created:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/
```
so then I ran:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/bin/codex exec --enable shell_zsh_fork 'run `echo $0`'
```
which reported the following, as expected:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh
```

* #23768
* __->__ #23756
Add new enterprise requirement gate.
Validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-config --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib debug_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib` *(fails: stack overflow in
`in_process::tests::in_process_start_initializes_and_handles_typed_v2_request`;
reproduces when run alone)*
## Why
Legacy `[profiles.<name>]` config tables and the legacy `profile`
selector are being retired in favor of profile files selected with
`--profile <name>`. After #23886 removed the CLI-side legacy profile
plumbing, the app-server config surface still exposed those fields and
still carried conversion code for the old protocol shape.
## What changed
- Remove `profile`, `profiles`, and `ProfileV2` from the app-server
config protocol/schema output so `config/read` no longer returns legacy
profile config.
- Drop the old v1 `UserSavedConfig` profile conversion path from
`config`.
- Reject new app-server config writes under `profiles.*` with the same
migration direction used for `profile`, while still allowing callers to
clear existing legacy profile tables.
- Refresh app-server config coverage and the experimental API README
example around the remaining `Config` nesting path.
## Verification
- Added config-manager coverage that `config/read` omits legacy profile
config, `profiles.*` writes are rejected, and existing legacy profile
tables can still be cleared.
- Updated the v2 config RPC test to cover the rejected `profiles.*`
batch-write path.
## Why
The TUI currently creates a shared plaintext `codex-tui.log` under the
default log directory. That append-only file can keep growing across
runs even though the TUI already records diagnostics in bounded local
stores.
Make the plaintext file log an explicit troubleshooting choice instead
of a default side effect.
This is possible because logs are also stored in the DB with proper
rotation
## What changed
- Only install the TUI file logging layer when `log_dir` is explicitly
set.
- Remove the prior `codex-tui.log` at startup before an opt-in file
layer is created.
- Clarify the `log_dir` config/schema text and `docs/install.md` example
so users opt in with `codex -c log_dir=...` when they need a plaintext
log.
## Why
`--profile` now selects `<name>.config.toml`, so the legacy `profile`
selector should not be reintroduced through config write or MCP tool
paths. A matching legacy selector in base user config also needs the
same migration guard as a matching legacy `[profiles.<name>]` table so
profile loading fails with one clear migration error instead of mixing
the old and new profile models.
## What
- reject non-null app-server config writes to the top-level legacy
`profile` selector
- make `--profile <name>` reject base user config that still selects the
same legacy `profile = "<name>"` value, alongside the existing matching
legacy profile-table guard
- reject removed MCP `codex` tool fields such as `profile` by denying
unknown tool-call parameters and exposing that restriction in the
generated schema
- add regression coverage for the app-server write paths, config loader
guard, and MCP tool input/schema behavior
## Verification
- targeted regression tests cover the new app-server, config loader, and
MCP rejection paths
## Summary
- route each configured MCP server through an explicit per-server
`environment_id` instead of a manager-wide remote toggle
- default omitted `environment_id` to `local`, resolve named ids through
`EnvironmentManager`, and fail only the affected MCP server when an
explicit id is unknown
- keep local stdio on the existing local launcher path for now, while
named-environment stdio uses the selected environment backend and
requires an absolute `cwd`
- allow local HTTP MCP servers to keep using the ambient HTTP client
when no local `Environment` is configured; named-environment HTTP MCPs
use that environment's HTTP client
## Validation
- devbox Bazel build: `bazel build --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/cli:codex //codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_stdio_server
//codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_streamable_http_server`
- devbox app-server config matrix with real `config.toml` /
`environments.toml` files covering omitted local, explicit local,
omitted local under remote default, explicit remote stdio, local HTTP
without local env, explicit remote HTTP, local stdio without local env,
unknown explicit env, and remote stdio without `cwd`
## Why
Cloud-managed `requirements.toml` should be able to define the managed
permission profiles a client may select and constrain that selectable
set without requiring local user config to recreate the profile catalog.
This keeps requirements focused on restrictions. The selected default
remains a config or session choice, while requirements contribute the
managed profile bodies and `allowed_permissions` allowlist that the
config-loading boundary validates before a resolved runtime
`PermissionProfile` is installed.
## What changed
- Add `requirements.toml` support for a managed permission-profile
catalog plus its allowlist:
```toml
allowed_permissions = ["review", "build"]
[permissions.review]
extends = ":read-only"
[permissions.build]
extends = ":workspace"
```
- Merge requirements-defined profile bodies into the effective
permission catalog and reject profile ids that collide with
config-defined profiles.
- Validate that every `allowed_permissions` entry resolves to a built-in
or catalog profile before selection uses it.
- Preserve allowed configured named-profile selections. When a
configured named profile is disallowed, fall back to the first allowed
requirements profile with a startup warning.
- Keep built-in selections and the stock trust-based `:read-only` /
`:workspace` fallback path intact when no permission profile is
explicitly selected.
- Centralize the managed catalog and allowlist selection path in
`EffectivePermissionSelection` so the requirements boundary is visible
in config loading.
- Surface `allowedPermissions` through `configRequirements/read`, and
update the generated app-server schema fixtures plus the app-server
README.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core system_requirements_`
- `cargo test -p codex-core system_allowed_permissions_`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
## Related work
- Uses merged permission-profile inheritance support from #22270 and
#23705.
- Kept separate from the in-flight permission profile listing API in
#23412.
