## 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.

- `just test -p codex-app-server config_read_includes_apps`
## Why
`request_user_input` is moving beyond its original plan-mode-only
workflow, and future default/goal-mode usage needs a way for the model
to ask helpful but non-blocking questions without forcing the turn to
wait forever. This PR adds an explicit `autoResolutionMs` contract so a
later client/runtime change can auto-resolve unanswered prompts after a
bounded window while leaving truly blocking questions unchanged.
This is contract plumbing only; it does not implement the client-side
timer or auto-selection behavior, and the model-facing description
treats the field as reserved unless the current runtime explicitly
supports auto-resolution.
## What Changed
- Added optional `autoResolutionMs` to the model-facing
`request_user_input` args and core `RequestUserInputEvent`.
- Added model-facing schema text for `autoResolutionMs` while marking it
reserved for runtimes that explicitly support auto-resolution.
- Bounds `autoResolutionMs` to `60_000..=240_000` ms during argument
normalization by clamping out-of-range model-provided values.
- Propagated the field through app-server v2
`ToolRequestUserInputParams`, app-server request forwarding, generated
TypeScript, and JSON schema fixtures.
- Updated app-server, core, protocol, and TUI call sites/tests so
omitted values preserve existing `None`/`null` behavior and coverage
verifies a `Some(60_000)` round trip.

## 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).
Move the application of the persistence policy into the thread store, so
thread stores can get raw append items rather than canonical append
items. This will enable store-specific projections over the raw input
items.
## What
Introduce a `CodexResponsesMetadata` struct that defines all the core
metadata we send to Responses API. Example fields are `thread_id`,
`turn_id`, `window_id`, etc.
Going forward, `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]` will be the
canonical way Codex sends metadata to Responses API across both HTTP and
websocket transports.
For now, we continue to emit the existing top-level HTTP headers and
top-level `client_metadata` fields from the same
`CodexResponsesMetadata` struct for compatibility reasons.
Also, app-server clients who specify additional
`responsesapi_client_metadata` via `turn/start` and `turn/steer` will
have those fields merged into
`client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, but cannot override the
reserved fields that core uses (i.e. the fields in
`CodexResponsesMetadata`).
## Why
Responses API request instrumentation is the source of truth for
downstream Codex analytics that join requests by Codex IDs such as
session, thread, turn, and context window. Before this change, those
values were assembled through several request-specific paths: HTTP
request bodies, websocket handshake headers, websocket `response.create`
payloads, compaction requests, and the rich `x-codex-turn-metadata`
envelope all had their own wiring.
That made metadata propagation easy to drift across API-key/direct
Responses API requests, ChatGPT-auth/proxied requests, websocket
requests, and compaction requests. It also made additions like
`window_id` error-prone because a field could be added to one transport
projection but missed in another.
## What changed
- Added `CodexResponsesMetadata` as the core-owned snapshot for Codex
metadata sent to ResponsesAPI.
- Render `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, flat
`client_metadata` projections, and direct compatibility headers from
that same snapshot.
- Include the known Codex-owned fields in the turn metadata blob,
including installation/session/thread/turn/window IDs, request kind,
lineage, sandbox/workspace metadata, timing, and compaction details.
- Treat app-server `responsesapi_client_metadata` as enrichment for the
Codex turn metadata blob while preventing those extras from overriding
Codex-owned fields.
- Use the same metadata path for normal turns, websocket prewarm, local
compaction, remote v1 compaction, and remote v2 compaction.
- Keep websocket connection-only preconnect metadata separate so
handshakes carry compatibility identity headers without inventing a fake
turn metadata blob.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## What
- Parse optional `.app.json` `category` overrides for plugin apps.
- Add nullable `category` to `AppSummary` and `AppTemplateSummary` in
the app-server protocol.
- Fall back from `branding.category` to the first non-empty
`app_metadata.categories` value when building app/template summaries.
- Regenerate schema/type fixtures and update plugin read/install tests.
## Why
The plugin details UI needs a normalized per-app category. Some apps
only provide their default category in metadata, while others need a
local `.app.json` override.
## Why
Codex needs to manage Amazon Bedrock API key credentials through the
existing auth lifecycle instead of introducing a separate auth manager
or provider-specific credential file. Treating Bedrock API key login as
a primary auth mode gives it the same persistence, keyring, reload, and
logout behavior as the existing OpenAI API key and ChatGPT modes.
The credential is valid only for the `amazon-bedrock` model provider.
OpenAI-compatible providers must reject this auth mode rather than
treating the Bedrock key as an OpenAI bearer token.
## What changed
- Added `bedrockApiKey` as an app-server `AuthMode` and
`CodexAuth::BedrockApiKey` as a primary `AuthManager` mode.
- Added `BedrockApiKeyAuth`, containing the API key and AWS region, to
the existing `AuthDotJson` payload stored in `$CODEX_HOME/auth.json` or
the configured keyring backend.
- Added `login_with_bedrock_api_key(...)`, parallel to
`login_with_api_key(...)`, which replaces the current stored login with
Bedrock credentials.
- Reused generic auth reload and logout behavior instead of adding a
Bedrock-specific auth manager or logout path.
- Updated login restrictions, status reporting, diagnostics, telemetry
classification, generated app-server schemas, and auth fixtures for the
new mode.
- Added explicit errors when Bedrock API key auth is selected with an
OpenAI-compatible model provider.
This PR establishes managed storage and auth-mode behavior. Routing the
managed key and region into Amazon Bedrock requests will be in follow-up
PRs.
## Summary
- remove the redundant `needsAuth` field from `AppSummary` and generated
app-server schemas
- stop `plugin/read` from querying Apps MCP solely to hydrate unused
connector auth state
- preserve `plugin/install.appsNeedingAuth` membership and
`app/list.isAccessible` as the authentication signals
## Why
Codex App and TUI do not consume `plugin/read.plugin.apps[].needsAuth`.
Hydrating it could establish an Apps MCP connection and discover tools
on a cold `plugin/read` request, adding avoidable latency. The plugin
APIs are still marked under development, so removing this wire field is
preferable to retaining a misleading default.

## Why
Clients can archive and unarchive threads today, but there is no
app-server API for permanently removing a thread. Deletion also needs to
cover the full session tree: deleting a main thread should remove
spawned subagent threads and the related local metadata instead of
leaving orphaned rollout files, goals, or subagent state behind.
## What
- Adds the v2 `thread/delete` request and `thread/deleted` notification,
with the response shape kept consistent with `thread/archive`.
- Implements local hard delete for active and archived rollout files.
- Deletes the requested thread's state DB row as the commit point, then
best-effort cleans associated state including spawned descendants,
goals, spawn edges, logs, dynamic tools, and agent job assignments.
- Updates app-server API docs and generated protocol schema/TypeScript
fixtures.
## Summary
Codex Apps needs app-server as the source of truth for chat-started
background terminals instead of guessing from local process trees.
This PR adds experimental v2 APIs to list and terminate background
terminals for a loaded thread using app-server process ids, so clients
can manage background terminals without local PID discovery.
## Changes
- `thread/backgroundTerminals/list` returns paginated background
terminal records with `itemId`, app-server `processId`, `command`,
`cwd`, nullable `osPid`, nullable `cpuPercent`, and nullable `rssKb`.
- `thread/backgroundTerminals/terminate` terminates one running
background terminal by app-server `processId` and returns whether a
process was terminated.
- Background terminal list and terminate operations use unified-exec
process manager state as their source of truth.
## Why
Compaction window identity is part of session history, not model-client
transport state. Persisting it with the compacted rollout item lets
resumed threads continue from the reconstructed window without keeping
mutable window state on `ModelClient`.
## What changed
- Added `window_id` to `CompactedItem` and stamp it when
`replace_compacted_history` installs compacted history.
- Moved auto-compact window id ownership into `AutoCompactWindow` /
`SessionState`; `ModelClient` now receives the request window id from
callers instead of storing it.
- Returned `window_id` from rollout reconstruction for resume.
Reconstruction uses the newest surviving compacted item's stored
`window_id` when present, and falls back to the legacy compacted-item
count when it is absent.
- Kept fork startup at the fresh default window id and updated direct
model-client tests to pass explicit test window ids.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
## Why
Clients need to select a realtime session configuration for an
individual start without rewriting persisted configuration or restarting
the app-server process.
## What Changed
- Add optional `model` and `version` fields to `thread/realtime/start`
- Forward those optional values through the realtime start operation and
apply them only for that session
- Preserve existing configured/default behavior when the new fields are
omitted
- Update generated protocol schema and app-server documentation
## Validation
- Added/updated protocol serialization coverage for the new optional
request fields
- Added focused core coverage for a session override taking precedence
over configured realtime selection
- Added focused app-server coverage that a request override reaches the
realtime WebSocket handshake
## Why
- `ThreadSource` currently defines a closed set of core-owned values
- Product features also create threads for background or scheduled work
- Adding every product-specific value to the core enum would require
repeated `codex-rs` protocol changes
- Feature-backed values let product callers provide precise attribution
while preserving the existing core classifications
## What Changed
- Adds `ThreadSource::Feature(String)` for app-owned thread source
values
- Represents all app-server v2 thread sources as scalar strings, so a
feature source is supplied as `"automation"`
- Persists and emits the feature's plain string label, so `"automation"`
produces `thread_source="automation"` in analytics
- Keeps `user`, `subagent`, and `memory_consolidation` as explicit
core-owned values and regenerates the app-server schemas and TypeScript
bindings

## Why
CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may not have
a filesystem, while executors can expose preinstalled plugins and
skills. A thread therefore needs to select capabilities without asking
app-server or core to interpret executor-owned paths through the
orchestrator's filesystem.
The longer-term model is broader than executor skills:
- A plugin is a bundle of skills, MCP servers, connectors/apps, and
hooks.
- A plugin root can be local, executor-owned, or hosted by a backend.
- Components inside one plugin can use different access and execution
mechanisms. A skill may be read from a filesystem or through backend
tools; an HTTP MCP server can run without an executor; a stdio MCP
server or hook needs an execution environment.
- Core should carry generic extension initialization data. The extension
that owns a component should discover it, expose it to the model, and
invoke it through the appropriate runtime.
This PR establishes that architecture through one complete vertical:
selecting a root on an executor, discovering the skills beneath it,
exposing those skills to the model, and reading an explicitly invoked
`SKILL.md` through the same executor.
## Contract
`thread/start` gains an experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` field:
```json
{
"selectedCapabilityRoots": [
{
"id": "deploy-plugin@1",
"location": {
"type": "environment",
"environmentId": "workspace",
"path": "/opt/codex/plugins/deploy"
}
}
]
}
```
The root is intentionally not classified as a "plugin" or "skill" in the
API. It can point at a standalone skill, a directory containing several
skills, or a plugin containing skills and other components. This PR only
teaches the skills extension how to consume it; later extensions can
resolve MCP, connector, and hook components from the same selection.
The platform-supplied `id` is stable selection identity. The location
says which runtime owns the root and gives that runtime an opaque path.
App-server does not inspect or canonicalize the path.
## What changed
### Generic thread extension initialization
App-server converts selected roots into `ExtensionDataInit`. Core
carries that generic initialization value until the final thread ID is
known, then creates thread-scoped `ExtensionData` before lifecycle
contributors run.
This keeps `Session` and core independent of the capability-selection
contract. The initialization value is consumed during construction; it
is not retained as another long-lived `Session` field.
### Executor-backed skills
The skills extension now owns an `ExecutorSkillProvider` that:
- resolves the selected environment through `EnvironmentManager`
- discovers, canonicalizes, and reads skills through that environment's
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- contributes the bounded selected-skill catalog as stable developer
context
- reads an explicitly invoked skill body through the authority that
listed it
- warns when an environment or root is unavailable
- never falls back to the orchestrator filesystem for an executor-owned
root
Skill catalog and instruction fragments have hard byte bounds, which
also bound them below the 10K-token per-item context limit. If a
selected executor skill has the same name as a legacy local skill, the
executor selection owns that invocation and the local body is not
injected a second time.
Existing local and bundled skill loading remains in place. Omitting
`selectedCapabilityRoots` therefore preserves current local-only
behavior.
## Current semantics
- Only environment-owned locations are represented in this first
contract.
- Roots are resolved by the destination extension, not by app-server or
core.
- An unavailable executor or invalid root produces a warning and no
capabilities from that root; it does not trigger a local-filesystem
fallback.
- Selection applies to a newly started active thread.
- MCP servers, connectors, and hooks beneath a selected plugin root are
not activated yet.
- Selection is not yet persisted or inherited across resume, fork, or
subagent creation. Existing local capabilities continue to behave as
they do today in those flows.
## Planned vertical follow-ups
1. **Hosted HTTP MCP:** add an extension-backed HTTP MCP source that
works without an executor, then replace the special-purpose MCP plugins
loader with that implementation.
2. **Executor MCP:** register and execute stdio MCP servers through the
environment that owns the selected plugin root.
3. **Backend skills:** add a hosted skill source whose catalog and
bodies are accessed through extension tools rather than a filesystem.
4. **Connectors and hooks:** activate those components through their
owning extensions, using the same selected-root boundary and
component-specific runtime.
5. **Durable selection:** define the desired-selection lifecycle,
persist it, and make resume, fork, and subagent inheritance explicit
rather than accidental.
6. **Local convergence:** incrementally route existing local plugin,
skill, and MCP loading through the same extension model while preserving
current local behavior.
Each follow-up remains reviewable as an end-to-end capability. The
platform selects roots, generic thread extension data carries the
selection, and the owning extension resolves and operates its component.
## Verification
Coverage added for:
- app-server end-to-end discovery and explicit invocation of a skill
inside an executor-selected plugin root
- exclusive invocation when a selected executor skill collides with a
local skill name
- executor filesystem authority for discovery, canonicalization, and
reads
- thread extension initialization before lifecycle contributors run
- stable executor catalog context, explicit invocation, context
rebuilding, hidden skills, and preserved host/remote catalog behavior
Targeted protocol, core-skills, skills-extension, core lifecycle, and
app-server executor-skill tests were run during development.
## Why
Multi-agent v2 identifies agents by canonical paths, but its tool
handlers still emitted the larger legacy collaboration begin/end events
built around nickname and role metadata. App-server, rollout-trace,
analytics, and TUI consumers therefore lacked one compact path-based
completion signal that behaved consistently across live events and
replay.
The TUI also needs a bounded `/agent` status surface for v2 agents. It
should use recent local activity for previews, refresh liveness without
loading full histories, and keep the legacy picker available when no
path-backed v2 agent is known.
## What changed
- Replace the v2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, and
`interrupt_agent` legacy lifecycle emissions with a success-only
`SubAgentActivity` event. The event records the tool call ID, occurrence
time, affected thread, canonical agent path, and `started`,
`interacted`, or `interrupted` kind.
- Expose the activity as a completion-only app-server v2
`subAgentActivity` thread item in live notifications and reconstructed
history, regenerate the protocol schemas, and count it in sub-agent tool
analytics.
- Track canonical paths from live activity and loaded-thread metadata in
the TUI, and render the activity in live and replayed transcripts.
- Make `/agent` list running path-backed agents with summaries from
bounded local event buffers. Each summary is capped at 240 graphemes,
the scan is capped at six recent items, only the last three wrapped
lines are shown, and command output is omitted. Liveness falls back to
metadata-only `thread/read` when local turn state is unavailable.
- Persist the activity as a terminal rollout-trace runtime payload and
reduce it to the corresponding spawn, send, follow-up, or close
interaction edge. `interrupt_agent` is classified as a close-edge
operation.
- Preserve the legacy picker when no path-backed v2 agent is known.
## Compatibility
App-server v2 clients that consumed `collabAgentToolCall` begin/end
pairs for these tools must handle the new completion-only
`subAgentActivity` item. Legacy v1 collaboration behavior is unchanged.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-rollout-trace`
- Added focused coverage for activity analytics, terminal trace
serialization, spawn-edge reduction, `interrupt_agent` classification,
TUI status rendering without aggregated command output, and clearing
stale running state after a completed turn.
## Why
Thread cwd and environment selections are a single logical setting in
core: updating one without the other can silently desynchronize the
next-turn execution context. This change makes that relationship
explicit in the internal thread settings flow while preserving the
existing app-server public API shape.
## What changed
- Moved the cwd/environment pair through internal
`ThreadSettingsOverrides.environment_settings` instead of a top-level
internal `cwd` field.
- Kept `thread/settings/update` public params unchanged, with app-server
translating top-level `cwd` into the paired internal settings shape.
- Moved `Op::UserInput` environment overrides into thread settings so
user turns and settings updates use the same core path.
- Updated core, app-server, MCP, memories, sample, and test callsites to
construct the paired settings shape.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- Local test run starting after PR creation.
## 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
MCP startup failures from spawned subagents were rendered as global
notifications, so a child thread's failure could pollute the visible
parent transcript. Routing the notification to the child exposed two
related replay problems: session refresh could discard the buffered
event, and a newly created child `ChatWidget` did not know the expected
MCP server set, which could leave its startup spinner running after
every server had settled.
MCP startup diagnostics should remain visible in the thread that owns
the startup without affecting other transcripts. The protocol also needs
to support a future app-scoped MCP lifecycle where startup is not owned
by any thread.
## Reported Behavior
The [originating Slack
report](https://openai.slack.com/archives/C08JZTV654K/p1780604538859939)
called out that using subagents could turn MCP startup failures into a
wall of yellow CLI warnings because repeated failures were not
deduplicated. The intended behavior is for those diagnostics to remain
visible once in the thread that owns the startup, without polluting the
parent transcript.
## What Changed
- add nullable `threadId` ownership to `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated`
- populate it from the app-server conversation ID for the current
thread-scoped lifecycle and regenerate the protocol schema and
TypeScript artifacts
- treat a missing or null `threadId` as app-scoped without injecting it
into the active chat transcript
- route and buffer thread-owned MCP startup notifications by thread in
the TUI
- preserve buffered MCP startup events across child session refresh
- seed expected MCP servers before replaying a thread snapshot so
startup reaches its terminal state
- suppress an identical repeated failure warning for the same server
within one startup round
The owning thread still renders the detailed failure and final `MCP
startup incomplete (...)` summary.
## How to Test
1. Configure an optional MCP server named `smoke` that exits during
initialization.
2. Launch the TUI with multi-agent support enabled.
3. Confirm the main thread's own startup failure renders one detailed
`smoke` warning and one incomplete-startup summary.
4. Spawn exactly one subagent.
5. Confirm the parent transcript does not receive the subagent's MCP
startup failure.
6. Switch to the subagent thread and confirm it contains exactly one
detailed `smoke` failure and one incomplete-startup summary.
7. Confirm the subagent's MCP startup spinner disappears and the thread
remains usable.
8. Switch between the parent and subagent and confirm the warnings
neither move nor duplicate.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
thread_start_emits_mcp_server_status_updated_notifications`
- `just test -p codex-tui mcp_startup`
The parent/child behavior and spinner completion were also exercised
manually in tmux. `just argument-comment-lint` was attempted but blocked
by an unrelated local Bazel LLVM empty-glob failure; touched Rust
callsites were inspected manually.
## 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`,
`codex-app-server-protocol`, and `codex-app-server`
## 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.

## Summary
- add v2 personal access token support for `codex login
--with-access-token` and `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN`
- classify opaque `at-` tokens separately from legacy Agent Identity
JWTs
- hydrate required ChatGPT account metadata through AuthAPI
`/v1/user-auth-credential/whoami`
- use PATs directly as bearer tokens while preserving existing ChatGPT
account surfaces
- expose PAT-backed auth as the explicit `personalAccessToken`
app-server auth mode
## Implementation
PAT auth is intentionally small and stateless. Loading a PAT performs
one AuthAPI metadata request, stores the hydrated metadata in the
in-memory auth object, and redacts the secret from debug output. Legacy
Agent Identity JWT handling remains unchanged. The shared access-token
classifier lives in a private neutral module because it dispatches
between both credential types.
PAT hydration fails closed when AuthAPI omits any required metadata,
including email. Hydrated metadata is intentionally not persisted:
startup performs a live `whoami` preflight so revoked tokens or changed
account metadata are not accepted from a stale cache.
## Workspace restriction scope
This change intentionally does **not** apply
`forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` to PAT authentication. The setting is a
client-side config guardrail, not an authorization boundary, and PAT
does not currently require workspace-ID parity. The PAT login and
`CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` paths therefore validate through AuthAPI without
threading workspace-restriction state through access-token loading.
Existing workspace checks for non-PAT auth remain on their established
paths.
## App-server compatibility
The public app-server `AuthMode` is shared across v1 and v2, and
PAT-backed auth reports `personalAccessToken` through both APIs.
Following human review, this intentionally removes the temporary v1
compatibility mapping that reported PATs as `chatgpt`; the deprecated v1
API is kept in parity with v2 rather than maintaining a separate closed
enum. Clients with exhaustive auth-mode handling in either API version
must add the new case and should generally treat it as ChatGPT-backed
unless they need PAT-specific behavior.
The v1 auth-status response still omits the raw PAT when `includeToken`
is requested because that response cannot carry the account metadata
needed to reuse the credential safely. Persisted PAT auth also omits the
new enum value so older Codex builds can deserialize `auth.json` and
infer PAT auth from the credential field after a rollback.

The broader `codex-tui` suite previously compiled and ran 2,834 tests.
Three unrelated environment-sensitive guardian/IDE-socket tests failed
after retries; the PAT-relevant TUI coverage passed.
Stacked on #26532.
## Why
#26532 moves cwd normalization to the app-server/core boundary.
`runtimeWorkspaceRoots` still accepted raw paths in v2 requests and in
`ConfigOverrides`, which left core responsible for interpreting those
roots later. This makes runtime workspace roots follow the same
absolute-path boundary as cwd.
## What
- Change v2 `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` request fields for `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start` to `AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Deduplicate already-absolute runtime roots in app-server handlers and
pass them through `ConfigOverrides.workspace_roots` as
`AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Update TUI and exec client request builders to pass absolute runtime
roots directly.
- Update app-server docs, schema fixtures, and focused tests for
absolute runtime roots.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server runtime_workspace_roots`
- `just test -p codex-core
session_permission_profile_rebinds_runtime_workspace_roots`
- `just test -p codex-tui app_server_session`
- `just test -p codex-exec`
## What
Exposes the pairing status transport as experimental app-server v2 RPC
`remoteControl/pairing/status`.
- Adds request/response protocol types for exactly one lookup key:
`pairingCode` or `manualPairingCode`, returning `{ claimed }`.
- Registers the RPC with `global_shared_read("remote-control-pairing")`.
- Wires the method through `MessageProcessor` and
`RemoteControlRequestProcessor`.
- Validates missing/conflicting pairing-code params as invalid requests.
- Documents the RPC in `app-server/README.md`.
- Adds processor, protocol export, and JSON-RPC integration coverage for
both code paths.
## Why
This is the app-server surface the desktop app can poll while the
QR/manual pairing modal is active.

## What
Adds transport support for checking remote-control pairing status
against the backend.
- Adds the normalized `server/pair/status` backend URL.
- Adds backend request/response structs for exactly one lookup key:
`pairing_code` or `manual_pairing_code`, returning `{ claimed }`.
- Adds `RemoteControlEnrollment::pairing_status` and
`RemoteControlHandle::pairing_status`.
- Preserves auth refresh/retry behavior and backend error mapping.
- Adds transport coverage for pending, claimed, manual-code payloads,
token refresh, mapped backend errors, malformed responses, and URL
normalization.
## Why
Desktop needs a host-authenticated way to poll whether a QR or manual
pairing code has been claimed.

## Verification

remote_control::tests::pairing_tests`
- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Token activity is useful account-level context, but terminal clients
need a supported app-server path to fetch it without reaching into
ChatGPT backend details directly. The API should also live under the
broader account usage umbrella so future usage surfaces can be added
without proliferating user-facing concepts.
## What Changed
- Add `codex-backend-client` support for the ChatGPT profile token-usage
payload.
- Add the v2 `account/usage/read` app-server RPC.
- Map lifetime usage, peak daily usage, streak, longest task duration,
and daily buckets into app-server protocol types.
- Gate the request on Codex-backend auth, which supports ChatGPT auth
tokens and AgentIdentity.
- Regenerate the app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
## Token Count Source
`account/usage/read` returns the token-usage aggregate supplied by the
ChatGPT profile backend. App-server maps that backend-owned aggregate
into protocol fields; it does not recompute cached-token treatment,
usage multipliers, or raw input/output totals locally.
## Stack
1. feat(app-server): expose account token usage [1 of 2] (this PR)
2. [#25345](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25345) feat(tui): add
token activity command [2 of 2]
## How to Test
1. Start an app-server client from this branch while authenticated with
ChatGPT or AgentIdentity.
2. Call `account/usage/read`.
3. Confirm the response includes `summary` and `dailyUsageBuckets`.
4. Also verify a session without Codex-backend auth receives the
existing auth error path.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-backend-client -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
## Why
First-party backends can supply turn-scoped moderation metadata that
app-server clients need for client-side presentation. Exposing this as
an experimental typed notification lets opted-in clients consume it
without interpreting raw Responses API events.
## What changed
- forward `response.metadata.openai_chatgpt_moderation_metadata` from
Responses API SSE and WebSocket streams as turn-scoped moderation
metadata
- emit the experimental app-server v2 `turn/moderationMetadata`
notification with `{ threadId, turnId, metadata }`
- add app-server integration coverage for the typed moderation metadata
notification
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
build_ws_client_metadata_includes_window_lineage_and_turn_metadata`
- `just test -p codex-core` (fails locally: 46 failures and 1 timeout,
primarily missing `test_stdio_server` and shell snapshot timeouts)
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
turn_moderation_metadata_emits_typed_notification_v2`
- `just test -p codex-app-server` (fails locally: 792 passed, 10 failed,

primarily because nested macOS `sandbox-exec` is not permitted)

## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Summary
Adds the app-server v2 `accountSession/*` protocol used by the Desktop
profile switcher and the backend account metadata client needed to
populate workspace choices.
This is the protocol layer only. The app-server lifecycle and
consolidated saved-session storage are split into a follow-up PR.
## Rust Stack
1. This PR
2. [openai/codex#25383](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25383) adds
app-server session lifecycle behavior and consolidated saved-session
storage.
## Validation
- Generated app-server schema fixtures are included from the existing
generation flow in the lifecycle PR where the routes are registered.
- Did not run tests per requested scope.
## Why
Remote-control clients need to list and revoke controller-device grants
without enabling or enrolling the local relay. These are signed-in
account-management operations, so coupling them to websocket, pairing,
enrollment, or persisted relay state would prevent clients from managing
stale grants from the picker.
Related enhancement request: N/A. This adds the Codex app-server surface
for the planned upstream environment-scoped revoke endpoint.
## What Changed
- Added experimental app-server v2 RPCs:
- `remoteControl/client/list`
- `remoteControl/client/revoke`
- Added picker-oriented protocol types and standard generated schema
fixtures. The list response intentionally omits backend account id,
enrollment status, and location fields.
- Added `app-server-transport/src/transport/remote_control/clients.rs`
for environment-scoped GET and DELETE requests. It builds escaped URL
path segments, forwards optional pagination query fields, sends ChatGPT
auth plus `chatgpt-account-id`, converts RFC3339 `last_seen_at` values
to Unix seconds, accepts `204 No Content` revoke responses, and retries
once after a `401`.
- Extracted shared ChatGPT auth loading and recovery into
`app-server-transport/src/transport/remote_control/auth.rs` so
websocket, pairing, and client management use the same account-auth
boundary.
- Retained the configured remote-control base URL on
`RemoteControlHandle` and resolve management URLs lazily, preserving
deferred validation while relay startup is disabled.
- Registered list as `global_shared_read("remote-control-clients")` and
revoke as `global("remote-control-clients")`.
## Verification
- Added transport coverage proving list and revoke work while relay
state is disabled, IDs are escaped, picker-only fields are returned,
timestamps are converted, revoke accepts `204`, auth headers are
forwarded, `401` retries exactly once, `403` is not retried, and
malformed list payloads retain decode context.
- Added an app-server integration test proving both JSON-RPC methods
work before relay enablement and successful revoke returns `{}`.
- Regenerated and validated experimental and standard app-server schema
fixtures.
## Stack
1. #25850 - Key request-permission grants by environment: stores and
applies sticky permission grants per environment id.
2. #25858 - Add `environmentId` to `request_permissions`: lets the model
target a selected environment and resolves relative permission paths
against it.
3. This PR (#25862) - Propagate permission approval environment id:
carries the selected environment id through approval events, app-server
requests, TUI prompts, and delegate forwarding.
4. #25867 - Add remote request permissions integration coverage:
verifies the selected remote environment across request, approval, grant
reuse, and exec.
This PR is stacked on #25858, and #25867 is stacked on this PR.
## Why
PR2 lets the model bind a `request_permissions` call to a selected
environment, but the approval event and client-facing request still
needed to carry that binding. For CCA, the user-facing prompt and
delegated approval path should know which environment the grant applies
to instead of relying on cwd alone.
## What Changed
- Added optional `environmentId` to `RequestPermissionsEvent`.
- Emit the selected environment id from core permission approval events.
- Preserve the environment id through delegate forwarding, including
cwd-based delegated requests.
- Added `environmentId` to app-server permission approval params,
generated schema/TypeScript artifacts, and README examples.
- Preserve and display the environment id in TUI permission approval
prompts.
- Updated focused core, app-server protocol, and TUI conversion
coverage.
## Testing
Not run locally per instruction. Performed read-only `git diff --check`.
## Summary
Enterprise users can have an effective monthly credit limit, but Codex
`/status` currently drops that metadata from the account-usage response.
This change adds the optional `spend_control.individual_limit`
projection to the existing rate-limit snapshot flow. The backend client
reads the monthly limit, app-server exposes it as `individualLimit`, and
the TUI renders a `Monthly credit limit` row through the existing
progress-bar renderer.
When the backend does not return an effective monthly limit, existing
rate-limit behavior is unchanged.
## Existing backend state
The account-usage backend already returns the effective monthly limit
and current usage together:
```json
{
"spend_control": {
"reached": false,
"individual_limit": {
"limit": "25000",
"used": "8000",
"remaining": "17000",
"used_percent": 32,
"remaining_percent": 68,
"reset_after_seconds": 86400,
"reset_at": 1778137680
}
}
}
```
Before this change, Codex projected rolling `primary` and `secondary`
windows plus `credits`. It ignored `spend_control.individual_limit`, so
app-server clients and `/status` could not render the monthly cap.
The updated flow is:
```text
account usage backend
-> backend-client reads spend_control.individual_limit
-> existing rate-limit snapshot carries optional individual_limit
-> app-server exposes optional individualLimit
-> TUI renders Monthly credit limit
```
## App-server contract
`account/rateLimits/read` and sparse `account/rateLimits/updated`
notifications now include an additive nullable
`rateLimits.individualLimit` field:
```json
{
"individualLimit": {
"limit": "25000",
"used": "8000",
"remainingPercent": 68,
"resetsAt": 1778137680
}
}
```
In an `account/rateLimits/read` response, `null` means no monthly limit
is available. `account/rateLimits/updated` remains a sparse rolling
notification: clients merge available values into their most recent
`account/rateLimits/read` snapshot or refetch. Nullable account metadata
in a rolling notification does not clear a previously observed value.
## Design decisions
- Extend the existing rate-limit snapshot instead of introducing a
separate request or wire-level update protocol.
- Keep the Codex projection narrow: `/status` needs the effective limit,
current usage, remaining percentage, and reset timestamp.
- Render the monthly row through the existing progress-bar renderer,
with one optional detail line for `8,000 of 25,000 credits used`.
- Keep the backend response optional so existing accounts and older
usage states preserve their current behavior.
- Preserve cached monthly metadata when sparse rolling notifications
omit it. Live account-usage reads remain authoritative and can clear a
removed limit.
## Visual evidence
```text
Monthly credit limit: [██████████████░░░░░░] 68% left (resets 07:08 on 7 May)
8,000 of 25,000 credits used
```
Snapshot:
`codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/codex_tui__status__tests__status_snapshot_includes_enterprise_monthly_credit_limit.snap`
## Testing
Tests: generated app-server schema verification, protocol tests,
backend-client tests, app-server integration coverage, TUI snapshot
coverage, formatting, and workspace lint cleanup.
## Why
Remote control enrollment authorizes a desktop server, but app-server v2
did not expose the follow-up pairing operation needed to mint a
short-lived controller pairing artifact from that enrolled server.
Clients need a narrow RPC that starts pairing without exposing the
backend `serverId` or conflating pairing with websocket connection
state.
Issue: N/A; internal remote-control pairing API change.
## What Changed
Added experimental app-server v2 `remoteControl/pairing/start` with
`manualCode` input and `pairingCode`, nullable `manualPairingCode`,
`environmentId`, and Unix-seconds `expiresAt` output. The method
serializes under its own `global("remote-control-pairing")` scope and is
documented in `app-server/README.md`.
Extended the remote-control transport with private `/server/pair`
request/response types and normalized `pair_url` handling. Pairing uses
the current enrolled server bearer, refreshes that bearer when needed,
keeps backend `server_id` private, validates returned `server_id` and
`environment_id` against the current enrollment, and preserves backend
status/header/body context for failures and malformed responses.
Wired the request through `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and
`MessageProcessor`, mapping unavailable/disabled pairing to
`invalid_request` and backend failures to internal errors.
## Verification

- `just test -p codex-app-server

## Summary
Remove the dead experimental `persistExtendedHistory` app-server flag
and collapse rollout persistence to the single policy app-server already
used.
## What Changed
- Removed `persistExtendedHistory` from v2 thread start/resume/fork
params and deleted its deprecation notice path.
- Removed the persistence-mode enums and plumbing through core, rollout,
and thread-store.
- Made rollout filtering mode-free, keeping the existing limited
persisted-history behavior.
## Test Plan
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server-protocol
schema_fixtures`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server
thread_shell_command_history_responses_exclude_persisted_command_executions`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-rollout -p
codex-thread-store`
- final `rg` for removed flag/type names
## Why
This PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/24161#discussion_r3325692763
revealed a subagent data modeling issue, where we overloaded
`forked_from_id` to also mean `parent_thread_id`. That's incorrect since
guardian and review subagents can be a subagent and NOT fork the main
thread's history.
The solution here is to explicitly store a new `parent_thread_id` on
`SessionMeta`, alongside `forked_from_id` which already exists. While
we're at it, also expose it in the app-server protocol on the `Thread`
object.
A thread->subagent relationship and a fork of thread history are
orthogonal concepts.
## What Changed
- Added top-level `parent_thread_id` persistence on `SessionMeta` and
runtime/session plumbing through `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
`CodexSpawnArgs`, `SessionConfiguration`, `ThreadConfigSnapshot`,
`TurnContext`, and `ModelClient`.
- Made turn metadata, request headers, analytics, and subagent-start
events read the separate runtime/top-level parent field instead of
deriving general parent lineage from `SessionSource` or
`forked_from_thread_id`.
- Passed parent lineage separately at delegated subagent, review,
guardian, agent-job, and multi-agent spawn construction sites;
copied-history fork lineage remains derived only from `InitialHistory`.
- Persisted and exposed parent lineage through rollout/thread-store
projections and app-server v2 `Thread.parentThreadId`.
- Updated app-server README text and regenerated app-server schema
fixtures for the additive `parentThreadId` response field.
## 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
# 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
Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.
## Details
- Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
- Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
generated TypeScript.
- Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core
protocol types.
- Regenerates app-server schema fixtures.

## Summary
The client currently calls `thread/resume` to establish live updates and
immediately follows it with `thread/turns/list` to hydrate recent turns.
This lets `thread/resume` return that page directly, eliminating a round
trip and the ordering/deduplication gap between the two calls.
Experimental clients opt in with `initialTurnsPage: { limit,
sortDirection, itemsView }`. The response returns `initialTurnsPage` as
a `TurnsPage`, including cursors for paging further back in history.
Keeping the controls in a nested opt-in object provides the useful
`thread/turns/list` knobs without spreading page-specific parameters
across `thread/resume`.
## Verification

WIll make it easier to uprev when the new draft spec is supported.
Also updates reqwest where needed for compatibility but doesn't update
it everywhere since this is already a large diff.
The new version of rmcp handles certain kinds of authentication failures
differently, this patch includes support for identifying the failing scope
in a WWW-Authenticate header.
## 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.
## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## Summary
`/mcp` in the TUI should reflect the current loaded thread, including
project-local MCP servers from that thread config. Before this change,
`mcpServerStatus/list` only read the latest global MCP config, so the
active chat could miss project-local servers.
This adds optional `threadId` to `mcpServerStatus/list`. When present,
app-server resolves the loaded thread and lists MCP status from the
refreshed effective config for that thread; when omitted, existing
global config behavior stays unchanged.
The TUI now sends the active chat thread id for `/mcp` and `/mcp
verbose`, carries that origin through the async inventory result, and
ignores stale completions if the user has switched threads before the
fetch returns. The app-server schemas were regenerated.
## Follow-up
Once this app-server API change lands, the desktop app should make the
same `threadId` plumbing so its MCP inventory also uses the current
thread config.
Fixes#23874
## Why
[Recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22709) removed
`trace_id` from `TurnContextItem`.
## What changed
- Add to `TurnStartedEvent` so rollout consumers can correlate turns
with telemetry traces.
- Note that the branch name is out of date because I originally re-added
to `TurnContextItem`, but we decided to move it to `TurnStartedEvent`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib
regular_turn_emits_turn_started_without_waiting_for_startup_prewarm`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
emits_warning_when_resumed_model_differs`
- `cargo test -p codex-rollout`
- `cargo test -p codex-state`
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.
`#[serde(default)]` wasn't sufficient for our generated TS types to
reflect that clients didn't have to set them. We also need
`skip_serializing_if = "std::ops::Not::not"`. This is already a rule in
our agents.md file.
