• [feat] persist dynamic tools in session rollout file (#10130)

  Add dynamic tools to rollout file for persistence & read from rollout on
  resume. Ran a real example and spotted the following in the rollout
  file:
  ```
  {"timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.468Z","type":"session_meta","payload":{"id":"019c075d-3f0b-77e3-894e-c1c159b04b1e","timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.451Z","...."dynamic_tools":[{"name":"demo_tool","description":"Demo dynamic tool","inputSchema":{"additionalProperties":false,"properties":{"city":{"type":"string"}},"required":["city"],"type":"object"}}],"git":{"commit_hash":"ebc573f15c01b8af158e060cfedd401f043e9dfa","branch":"dev/cc/dynamic-tools","repository_url":"https://github.com/openai/codex.git"}}}
  ```

• Better handling skill depdenencies on ENV VAR. (#9017)

  An experimental flow for env var skill dependencies. Skills can now
  declare required env vars in SKILL.md; if missing, the CLI prompts the
  user to get the value, and Core will store it in memory (eventually to a
  local persistent store)

• chore: deprecate old web search feature flags (#10097)

  deprecate all old web search flags and aliases, including:
  - `[features].web_search_request` and `[features].web_search_cached`
  - `[tools].web_search`
  - `[features].web_search`
  
  slightly rework `legacy_usages` to enable pointing to non-features from
  deprecated features; we need to point to `web_search` (not under
  `[features]`) from things like `[features].web_search_cached` and
  `[features].web_search_request`.
  
  Added integration tests to confirm deprecation notice is shown on
  explicit enablement and disablement of deprecated flags.

• feat: sqlite 1 (#10004)

  Add a `.sqlite` database to be used to store rollout metatdata (and
  later logs)
  This PR is phase 1:
  * Add the database and the required infrastructure
  * Add a backfill of the database
  * Persist the newly created rollout both in files and in the DB
  * When we need to get metadata or a rollout, consider the `JSONL` as the
  source of truth but compare the results with the DB and show any errors

• fix: enable per-turn updates to web search mode (#10040)

  web_search can now be updated per-turn, for things like changes to
  sandbox policy.
  
  `SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` now sets web_search to `live`, and the
  default is still `cached`.
  
  Added integration tests.

• fix(app-server, core): defer initial context write to rollout file until first turn (#9950)

  ### Overview
  Currently calling `thread/resume` will always bump the thread's
  `updated_at` timestamp. This PR makes it the `updated_at` timestamp
  changes only if a turn is triggered.
  
  ### Additonal context
  What we typically do on resuming a thread is **always** writing “initial
  context” to the rollout file immediately. This initial context includes:
  - Developer instructions derived from sandbox/approval policy + cwd
  - Optional developer instructions (if provided)
  - Optional collaboration-mode instructions
  - Optional user instructions (if provided)
  - Environment context (cwd, shell, etc.)
  
  This PR defers writing the “initial context” to the rollout file until
  the first `turn/start`, so we don't inadvertently bump the thread's
  `updated_at` timestamp until a turn is actually triggered.
  
  This works even though both `thread/resume` and `turn/start` accept
  overrides (such as `model`, `cwd`, etc.) because the initial context is
  seeded from the effective `TurnContext` in memory, computed at
  `turn/start` time, after both sets of overrides have been applied.
  
  **NOTE**: This is a very short-lived solution until we introduce sqlite.
  Then we can remove this.

• fix: handle all web_search actions and in progress invocations (#9960)

  ### Summary
  - Parse all `web_search` tool actions (`search`, `find_in_page`,
  `open_page`).
  - Previously we only parsed + displayed `search`, which made the TUI
  appear to pause when the other actions were being used.
  - Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
    - Previously we only showed completed tool calls

• feat: dynamic tools injection (#9539)

  ## Summary
  Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
  tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
  into the model tool pipeline.
  
  ### Flow (high level)
  - Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
  thread (validation is done here).
  - When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
  `DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
  - The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
  for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
  core.
  - Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
  request so the model can continue.
  
  ### What changed
  - Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
  introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
  execution.
  - Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
  calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
  - App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
  requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
  - Integration tests

• [connectors] Support connectors part 1 - App server & MCP (#9667)

  In order to make Codex work with connectors, we add a built-in gateway
  MCP that acts as a transparent proxy between the client and the
  connectors. The gateway MCP collects actions that are accessible to the
  user and sends them down to the user, when a connector action is chosen
  to be called, the client invokes the action through the gateway MCP as
  well.
  
   - [x] Add the system built-in gateway MCP to list and run connectors.
   - [x] Add the app server methods and protocol

• Fix: Lower log level for closed-channel send (#9653)

  ## What?
  - Downgrade the closed-channel send error log to debug in
  `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`.
  
  ## Why?
  - `async_channel::Sender::send` only fails when the channel is closed,
  so the current error-level log is noisy during normal shutdown. See
  issue #9652.
  
  ## How?
  - Replace the error log with a debug log on send failure.
  
  ## Tests
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core`

• Add collaboration_mode to TurnContextItem (#9583)

  ## Summary
  - add optional `collaboration_mode` to `TurnContextItem` in rollouts
  - persist the current collaboration mode when recording turn context
  (sampling + compaction)
  
  ## Rationale
  We already persist turn context data for resume logic. Capturing
  collaboration mode in the rollout gives us the mode context for each
  turn, enabling follow‑up work to diff mode instructions correctly on
  resume.
  
  ## Changes
  - protocol: add optional `collaboration_mode` field to `TurnContextItem`
  - core: persist collaboration mode alongside other turn context settings
  in rollouts

• fix: prevent repeating interrupted turns (#9043)

  ## What
  Record a model-visible `<turn_aborted>` marker in history when a turn is
  interrupted, and treat it as a session prefix.
  
  ## Why
  When a turn is interrupted, Codex emits `TurnAborted` but previously did
  not persist anything model-visible in the conversation history. On the
  next user turn, the model can’t tell the previous work was aborted and
  may resume/repeat earlier actions (including duplicated side effects
  like re-opening PRs).
  
  Fixes: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/9042
  
  ## How
  On `TurnAbortReason::Interrupted`, append a hidden user message
  containing a `<turn_aborted>…</turn_aborted>` marker and flush.
  Treat `<turn_aborted>` like `<environment_context>` for session-prefix
  filtering.
  Add a regression test to ensure follow-up turns don’t repeat side
  effects from an aborted turn.
  
  ## Testing
  `just fmt`
  `just fix -p codex-core`
  `cargo test -p codex-core -- --test-threads=1`
  `cargo test --all-features -- --test-threads=1`

• Persist text elements through TUI input and history (#9393)

  Continuation of breaking up this PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
  
  ## Summary
  - Thread user text element ranges through TUI/TUI2 input, submission,
  queueing, and history so placeholders survive resume/edit flows.
  - Preserve local image attachments alongside text elements and rehydrate
  placeholders when restoring drafts.
  - Keep model-facing content shapes clean by attaching UI metadata only
  to user input/events (no API content changes).
  
  ## Key Changes
  - TUI/TUI2 composer now captures text element ranges, trims them with
  text edits, and restores them when submission is suppressed.
  - User history cells render styled spans for text elements and keep
  local image paths for future rehydration.
  - Initial chat widget bootstraps accept empty `initial_text_elements` to
  keep initialization uniform.
  - Protocol/core helpers updated to tolerate the new InputText field
  shape without changing payloads sent to the API.

• fix(core) Preserve base_instructions in SessionMeta (#9427)

  ## Summary
  This PR consolidates base_instructions onto SessionMeta /
  SessionConfiguration, so we ensure `base_instructions` is set once per
  session and should be (mostly) immutable, unless:
  - overridden by config on resume / fork
  - sub-agent tasks, like review or collab
  
  
  In a future PR, we should convert all references to `base_instructions`
  to consistently used the typed struct, so it's less likely that we put
  other strings there. See #9423. However, this PR is already quite
  complex, so I'm deferring that to a follow-up.
  
  ## Testing
  - [x] Added a resume test to assert that instructions are preserved. In
  particular, `resume_switches_models_preserves_base_instructions` fails
  against main.
  
  Existing test coverage thats assert base instructions are preserved
  across multiple requests in a session:
  - Manual compact keeps baseline instructions:
  core/tests/suite/compact.rs:199
  - Auto-compact keeps baseline instructions:
  core/tests/suite/compact.rs:1142
  - Prompt caching reuses the same instructions across two requests:
  core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:150 and
  core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:157
  - Prompt caching with explicit expected string across two requests:
  core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:213 and
  core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:222
  - Resume with model switch keeps original instructions:
  core/tests/suite/resume.rs:136
  - Compact/resume/fork uses request 0 instructions for later expected
  payloads: core/tests/suite/compact_resume_fork.rs:215

• chore(instructions) Remove unread SessionMeta.instructions field (#9423)

  ### Description
  - Remove the now-unused `instructions` field from the session metadata
  to simplify SessionMeta and stop propagating transient instruction text
  through the rollout recorder API. This was only saving
  user_instructions, and was never being read.
  - Stop passing user instructions into the rollout writer at session
  creation so the rollout header only contains canonical session metadata.
  
  ### Testing
  
  - Ran `just fmt` which completed successfully.
  - Ran `just fix -p codex-protocol`, `just fix -p codex-core`, `just fix
  -p codex-app-server`, `just fix -p codex-tui`, and `just fix -p
  codex-tui2` which completed (Clippy fixes applied) as part of
  verification.
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-protocol` which passed (28 tests).
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-core` which showed failures in a small set of
  tests (not caused by the protocol type change directly):
  `default_client::tests::test_create_client_sets_default_headers`,
  several `models_manager::manager::tests::refresh_available_models_*`,
  and `shell_snapshot::tests::linux_sh_snapshot_includes_sections` (these
  tests failed in this CI run).
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-app-server` which reported several failing
  integration tests (including
  `suite::codex_message_processor_flow::test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow`,
  `suite::output_schema::send_user_turn_*`, and
  `suite::user_agent::get_user_agent_returns_current_codex_user_agent`).
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui` and `cargo test -p codex-tui2` were
  attempted but aborted due to disk space exhaustion (`No space left on
  device`).

• chore(core) Create instructions module (#9422)

  ## Summary
  We have a variety of things we refer to as instructions in the code
  base: our current canonical terms are:
  - base instructions (raw string)
  - developer instructions (has a type in protocol)
  - user instructions
  
  We also have `instructions` floating around in various places. We should
  standardize on the above, and start using types to prevent them from
  ending up in the wrong place. There will be additional PRs, but I'm
  going to keep these small so we can easily follow them!
  
  ## Testing
  - [x] Tests pass, this is purely a file move

• rename model turn to sampling request (#9336)

  We have two type of turns now: model and user turns. It's always
  confusing to refer to either. Model turn is basically a sampling
  request.

• Add text element metadata to protocol, app server, and core (#9331)

  The second part of breaking up PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
  
  Summary:
  
  - Add `TextElement` / `ByteRange` to protocol user inputs and user
  message events with defaults.
  - Thread `text_elements` through app-server v1/v2 request handling and
  history rebuild.
  - Preserve UI metadata only in user input/events (not `ContentItem`)
  while keeping local image attachments in user events for rehydration.
  
  Details:
  
  - Protocol: `UserInput::Text` carries `text_elements`;
  `UserMessageEvent` carries `text_elements` + `local_images`.
  Serialization includes empty vectors for backward compatibility.
  - app-server-protocol: v1 defines `V1TextElement` / `V1ByteRange` in
  camelCase with conversions; v2 uses its own camelCase wrapper.
  - app-server: v1/v2 input mapping includes `text_elements`; thread
  history rebuilds include them.
  - Core: user event emission preserves UI metadata while model history
  stays clean; history replay round-trips the metadata.
