## Background
This was prompted by
[#26858](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/26858), where the
attached doctor report did not include the editor selection and I had to
[ask which editor was in
use](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/26858#issuecomment-4653829891)
before investigating the external-editor newline issue. Capturing these
variables in doctor makes that context available up front in future
reports.
`codex doctor` is intended to capture enough local context to diagnose
startup and terminal behavior, but it did not report the environment
variables that select an external editor or configure command pagers.
The TUI [prefers `VISUAL` over
`EDITOR`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/56554904babcaacf4444a2cc90716880837dff7c/codex-rs/tui/src/external_editor.rs#L31-L38),
so missing or unexpected values can explain why the external-editor
shortcut fails or launches the wrong command. Pager values are also
useful inherited-shell context even though [unified exec normalizes its
effective pager variables to
`cat`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/56554904babcaacf4444a2cc90716880837dff7c/codex-rs/core/src/unified_exec/process_manager.rs#L60-L70).
These variables can contain arbitrary command arguments or inline
environment assignments. The human report is local, but `codex doctor
--json` may be attached to feedback, so the machine-readable report
should not include their raw contents.
## What Changed
- Report `VISUAL` and `EDITOR` in the system environment details, using
`not set` when either variable is absent.
- Report inherited `PAGER`, `GIT_PAGER`, `GH_PAGER`, and `LESS` values
when present.
- Preserve full values in local human output while reducing these fields
to `set` or `not set` in redacted JSON output.
- Add structured check, JSON-redaction, rendered-output, and snapshot
coverage.
## How to Test
1. From `codex-rs`, run Codex with explicit editor and pager variables:
```sh
env VISUAL='code --wait' EDITOR=vim PAGER='less -R' GIT_PAGER=delta
GH_PAGER=less LESS=-FRX \
cargo run -p codex-cli --bin codex -- doctor --no-color
```
2. Confirm the `system` details show the full values for all six
variables.
3. Unset the pager variables and rerun the command. Confirm pager rows
are omitted while missing editor variables are shown as `not set`.
4. Run the same configured environment with `doctor --json`. Confirm
each configured editor or pager field is reported as `set` and none of
the raw commands or arguments appear in the JSON.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-cli` (279 tests passed)
## Why
`codex sandbox` can start a network proxy from a configured permission
profile. Previously, sandbox-level containment was tied to managed
network requirements rather than whether a proxy was actually active.
This meant config-driven proxy policies were not consistently enforced
as the sandbox's only network path.
## What changed
- Enable proxy-only network containment whenever `codex sandbox` starts
a network proxy.
- Apply the same active-proxy check to the macOS and Linux sandbox
paths.
- Add a Linux regression test that verifies a sandboxed command cannot
establish a direct connection while the configured proxy is active.
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox::tests`
- `sandbox_with_network_proxy_blocks_direct_loopback_access` runs on
Linux to cover the config-driven proxy path end to end.
## Why
`codex sandbox --permissions-profile` is useful when running commands
under a named permissions profile, but the long option is cumbersome for
a debugging-oriented command. `-p` is already used for the config
profile selector, so `-P` gives the permissions profile selector a
compact, non-conflicting alias.
## What Changed
- Added `short = 'P'` to the `permissions_profile` option for the macOS,
Linux, and Windows sandbox command structs in
[`codex-rs/cli/src/lib.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/6d9f9c5cdcaa0a156aa2dabbde259ae5e9e8bc0b/codex-rs/cli/src/lib.rs#L29-L112).
- Added parser coverage for `codex sandbox -P :workspace -- echo` in
[`codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/6d9f9c5cdcaa0a156aa2dabbde259ae5e9e8bc0b/codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs#L2883-L2896).
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-cli` passed, including the new
`sandbox_parses_permissions_profile_short_alias` parser test.
## Why
Interactive `codex resume` and `codex fork` expose both a session ID
positional and an initial prompt positional. With `--last`, Clap still
assigns the first positional to the session ID, so a command such as
`codex fork --last "/compact focus on auth"` either fails parsing or
attempts to look up the prompt as a session ID instead of sending it to
the latest session.
This makes it impossible to select the latest session and immediately
provide a follow-up prompt, even though `codex exec resume --last`
already supports that workflow.

47@2x"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/86885c07-a23c-48ee-b0ee-47f2484f6eb7"
/>
## What Changed
- Reinterpret the first positional as the initial prompt when
interactive `resume --last` or `fork --last` is used and no explicit
second prompt was parsed.
- Preserve the existing `resume SESSION_ID PROMPT` and `fork SESSION_ID
PROMPT` behavior.
- Add parser-level regression coverage for latest-session and
explicit-session prompt forms.
## How to Test
1. Start an interactive session, exit it, then run `codex resume --last
"continue from the latest session"`.
2. Confirm Codex resumes the latest session and submits the supplied
prompt instead of treating it as a session ID.
3. Run `codex fork --last "take a different approach"`.
4. Confirm Codex forks the latest session and submits the supplied
prompt.
5. Also verify `codex resume SESSION_ID "continue here"` and `codex fork
SESSION_ID "branch here"` still target the explicit session and submit
the prompt.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-cli` (267 passed)
## 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.

## Summary
Fixes#26423.
On Windows, `codex app PATH` detected Codex Desktop and launched the app
shell target, then only printed a manual instruction to open the
workspace. The Desktop app already supports
`codex://threads/new?path=...`, so the CLI can open the requested
workspace directly.
This updates the Windows launcher to normalize the workspace path,
encode it into a `codex://threads/new` deep link, and open that URL when
Codex Desktop is installed. The installer fallback still opens the
Windows installer and prints the workspace path for after installation.
## Summary
- add `--json` output to `codex plugin list` with `installed` and
`available` arrays
- add `--available` for JSON output only; using it without `--json` is
rejected
- keep the existing non-JSON table output unchanged
- add CLI coverage for JSON installed/available output and the
`--available`/`--json` requirement
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-cli plugin_list`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
- `git diff --check`
Note: `just fmt` ran Rust formatting first, then failed in the Python
ruff step because `openai-codex-cli-bin==0.132.0` has no wheel for this
Linux platform.
## Stack
1. Parent PR: #18240 uses named MITM permissions config.
2. This PR wires managed MITM CA trust into spawned child processes.
## Why
When Codex terminates HTTPS for limited mode or MITM hooks, child HTTPS
clients need to trust Codex's managed MITM CA. Exporting proxy URLs
alone is not enough, but blindly replacing user CA settings would be
wrong: it can break custom enterprise/test roots, leak unreadable CA
files into generated bundles, or make the child env disagree with its
sandbox policy.
## Summary
1. Build immutable managed CA bundles under `$CODEX_HOME/proxy` that
include native roots, the managed MITM CA, and only inherited or
command-scoped CA bundles the child is allowed to read.
2. Export curated CA env vars alongside managed proxy env vars while
preserving user CA override semantics, including nested Codex
`SSL_CERT_FILE` precedence.
3. Thread generated CA bundle paths into child sandbox readable roots,
including debug sandbox execution, so the exported env vars work inside
sandboxed commands.
4. Remove only Codex-generated MITM CA bundle env when a child
intentionally drops managed proxying for escalation or no-proxy retry.
5. Document the managed CA bundle behavior and cover env injection,
per-child bundle generation, sandbox readable roots, and no-proxy
cleanup in tests.
## Validation
1. Ran `just test -p codex-network-proxy`.
2. Ran `just test -p codex-protocol`.
3. Ran `just fix -p codex-network-proxy -p codex-protocol`.
4. Tried focused `codex-core` validation, but the crate currently fails
to compile in `core/tests/suite/guardian_review.rs` because an existing
`Op::UserInput` initializer is missing `additional_context`.

Closes#24886.
## Why
Users can configure the TUI status line and terminal title with
`model-with-reasoning`, but issue #24886 asks for a compact
reasoning-only item. That lets a setup show just `default`, `low`,
`medium`, `high`, or `xhigh` without repeating the model name.
## What changed
- Added a `reasoning` item for `/statusline` and `/title` setup flows.
- Rendered the item from the effective reasoning effort, including
collaboration-mode overrides.
- Registered `reasoning` with `codex doctor` so Codex-generated
terminal-title config is not reported as invalid.
- Updated TUI setup snapshots so the picker previews include the new
item.
## Why
`codex app [PATH]` is the documented CLI entry point for opening Codex
Desktop on a workspace. Recent desktop builds can focus the app while
failing to honor paths passed as macOS document-open arguments via `open
-a Codex.app <workspace>`, which broke `codex app .` for users. See
#25333; related report: #25166.
The desktop app still supports the explicit
`codex://threads/new?path=...` route, so the CLI should use that
app-owned launch surface instead of depending on folder-open event
delivery.
## What Changed
- Build a `codex://threads/new?path=<workspace>` URL in the macOS app
launcher.
- Pass that URL to `open -a <Codex.app>` instead of passing the
workspace path as a document argument.
- Add coverage that workspace paths needing escaping round-trip through
URL query encoding.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-cli codex_new_thread_url_encodes_workspace_path`
## Problem
Saved threads can already be archived through app-server RPCs, but the
command line did not expose direct archive or unarchive commands.
## Solution
Add `codex archive <thread>` and `codex unarchive <thread>`, resolving
UUIDs or exact thread names before calling the existing `thread/archive`
and `thread/unarchive` RPCs. The commands support scoped remote flags so
callers can target remote app-server endpoints when archiving or
unarchiving threads.
This also fixes a long-standing bug in `codex resume <thread id>` and
`codex fork <thread id>` that I found when testing the new commands.
These operations shouldn't be allowed on archived sessions. They now
fail with an error that tells the user to run `codex unarchive <thread
id>` first.
## Verification
Added app-server coverage for rejecting archived thread resume by id and
checking that the error includes the matching `codex unarchive <thread
id>` command.
## Why
Some Windows users do not have local admin access, so they cannot
complete the elevated portion of the Windows sandbox setup when Codex
first needs it. This adds an alpha provisioning path that an admin or IT
deployment script can run ahead of time for the Codex user.
The intended managed-deployment shape is:
```powershell
codex sandbox setup --elevated --user "$env:COMPUTERNAME\Alice" --codex-home "C:\Users\Alice\.codex"
```
`--elevated` is treated as the requested sandbox setup level, not as
proof that the process is elevated. The Windows sandbox setup
orchestration still checks that the caller is actually elevated before
launching the helper without a UAC prompt.
## What changed
- Added `codex sandbox setup --elevated` with explicit user selection
via either `--current-user` or `--user ... --codex-home ...`.
- Moved the CLI implementation into `cli/src/sandbox_setup.rs` instead
of growing `cli/src/main.rs`.
- Added a Windows sandbox `ProvisionOnly` helper mode that runs the
elevation-required provisioning work without requiring a workspace cwd
or runtime sandbox policy.
- Reused the existing elevated helper path for creating/updating sandbox
users, configuring firewall/WFP rules, and applying sandbox directory
ACLs.
- Persisted `windows.sandbox = "elevated"` into the target `CODEX_HOME`
so the desktop app does not show the initial sandbox setup banner after
pre-provisioning succeeds.
## Validation
- `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli sandbox_setup --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox
payload_accepts_provision_only_mode --target-dir
target\sandbox-setup-check`
- `git diff --check`
- Manual Windows alpha flow with a standard local user (`Mandi Lavida`):
ran the new setup command from an admin shell, verified the target
`.codex` contents, sandbox marker/secrets, ACLs, firewall rules, and
desktop startup without the sandbox setup banner once experimental
network proxy requirements were disabled.
## Notes
This intentionally does not solve later elevated update coordination for
IT-managed deployments. The setup command can still apply provisioning
updates when run again, but a broader coordination/process story is out
of scope for this alpha.
## Why
#23813 switches the Windows sandbox runner path to `PermissionProfile`,
but it still left one runtime anchor for resolving symbolic
`:workspace_roots` entries. That is not enough once a turn has multiple
effective workspace roots: exact entries and deny globs under
`:workspace_roots` need to be materialized for every runtime root before
the command runner chooses token mode or builds ACL plans.
## What Changed
- Replaces the Windows runner/setup `permission_profile_cwd` plumbing
with `workspace_roots: Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
- Resolves Windows-local `PermissionProfile` data with
`materialize_project_roots_with_workspace_roots(...)` instead of the
single-cwd helper.
- Threads `Config::effective_workspace_roots()` through core execution,
unified exec, TUI setup/read-grant flows, app-server setup, app-server
`command/exec`, and `debug sandbox` on Windows.
- Preserves those workspace roots through the zsh-fork escalation
executor instead of rebuilding them from `sandbox_policy_cwd`.
- Makes `ExecRequest::new(...)` and the remaining
`build_exec_request(...)` helper path take
`windows_sandbox_workspace_roots` explicitly so new call sites cannot
silently fall back to `vec![cwd]`.
- Clarifies the `debug sandbox` non-Windows comment: remaining
cwd-dependent resolution still uses `sandbox_policy_cwd`, while
`:workspace_roots` entries are already materialized from config roots.
- Updates elevated runner IPC `SpawnRequest` to send `workspace_roots`
and bumps the framed IPC protocol version to `3` for the payload shape
change.
- Adds Windows-local resolver coverage for expanding exact and glob
`:workspace_roots` entries across multiple roots, plus core helper
coverage proving explicit roots are preserved.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p
codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core unix_escalation`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui windows_sandbox`

command_exec`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just test -p codex-exec sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-windows-sandbox`
A local macOS cross-check with `cargo check --target
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ...` did not reach crate Rust code because native
dependencies require Windows SDK headers (`windows.h` / `assert.h`) in
this environment; Windows CI remains the real target validation.
Two local targeted filters compile but do not run assertions on macOS:
`env -u CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE -u CODEX_NETWORK_ALLOW_LOCAL_BINDING
just test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec_processor` matched zero
tests, and `just test -p codex-linux-sandbox landlock` matched zero
tests because the landlock suite is Linux-only.
## Summary
- Add `--stdio` as a direct alias for `codex app-server --listen
stdio://`.
- Keep `--stdio` and `--listen` mutually exclusive.
- Update the app-server README to document both forms.
## Overview
Allow remote `codex exec-server` registration to use existing API-key
auth while restricting where those credentials can be sent.
- Accept `CodexAuth::ApiKey` for the normal `--remote` registration
path.
- Restrict API-key remote registration to HTTPS `openai.com` and
`openai.org` hosts and subdomains, with explicit HTTP loopback support
for local development.
- Disable registry registration redirects so credentials cannot be
forwarded to an unvalidated destination.
- Retain `--use-agent-identity-auth` as the explicit Agent Identity
path.
- Document remote registration using `CODEX_API_KEY`.
## Big picture
Callers can now provide an API key directly to `exec-server`
registration without first establishing ChatGPT login state:
```sh
CODEX_API_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" \
codex exec-server \
--remote "https://<host>.openai.org/api" \
--environment-id "$ENVIRONMENT_ID"
```
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all` (`just fmt` is not installed on this host)
- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-exec-server`
## 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 Windows sandbox runner still carried the old `SandboxPolicy`
compatibility path even though core now computes `PermissionProfile`.
That meant Windows command-runner execution could only see the legacy
projection, so profile-only filesystem rules such as deny globs were not
part of the runner input.
## What Changed
- Removed the Windows-local `SandboxPolicy` parser/export and deleted
`windows-sandbox-rs/src/policy.rs`.
- Changed restricted-token capture/session setup, elevated setup,
world-writable audit, read-root grant, and command-runner session APIs
to accept `PermissionProfile` plus the profile cwd.
- Bumped the elevated command-runner IPC protocol to version 2 because
`SpawnRequest` now carries `permission_profile` /
`permission_profile_cwd` instead of the legacy `policy_json_or_preset` /
`sandbox_policy_cwd` fields.
- Updated core exec, unified exec, debug-sandbox, TUI setup/grant flows,
and app-server setup to pass the actual effective `PermissionProfile`.
- Left regression coverage asserting the old IPC policy fields are
absent and the runner serializes tagged `PermissionProfile` JSON.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-core windows_sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
request_processors::windows_sandbox_processor`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-core -p codex-app-server
-p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-tui`
- `rg "\\bSandboxPolicy\\b" codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` returned no
matches.
Note: `cargo test -p codex-cli` was attempted but did not reach crate
tests because local disk filled while compiling dependencies (`No space
left on device`). The targeted clippy pass compiled the affected CLI/TUI
surfaces afterward.

* __->__ #23813
## Summary
Generated memory rows and their stage-one/stage-two job state currently
live in `state_5.sqlite` alongside thread metadata. That makes memory
cleanup and regeneration share the main state schema even though those
rows are memory-pipeline data and can be rebuilt independently from the
durable thread records.
This PR moves the memory-owned tables into a dedicated
`memories_1.sqlite` runtime database while keeping thread metadata in
`state_5.sqlite`.
## Changes
- Adds a separate memories DB runtime, migrator, path helpers, telemetry
kind, and Bazel compile data for `state/memory_migrations`.
- Introduces `MemoryStore` behind `StateRuntime::memories()` and moves
memory table/job operations onto that store.
- Drops the old memory tables from the state DB and recreates their
schema in `state/memory_migrations/0001_memories.sql`.
- Updates memory startup, citation usage tracking, rollout pollution
handling, `debug clear-memories`, and app-server `memory/reset` to
operate through the memories DB.
- Preserves cross-DB behavior by hydrating thread metadata from the
state DB when selecting visible memory outputs and checking stage-one
staleness.
## Verification
- Added/updated `codex-state` tests for deleted-thread memory visibility
and already-polluted phase-two enqueue behavior.
- Updated `debug clear-memories`, app-server `memory/reset`, and
memories startup tests to seed and assert memory rows through
`memories_1.sqlite`.
## Why
Users have been reporting missing sessions in the app. The app server
thread listing is backed by the SQLite state DB, but the durable source
of truth for a thread still exists on disk as rollout JSONL. When the
state DB is incomplete, doctor should be able to show the mismatch
directly instead of leaving users with a generic state health result.
## What changed
This adds a `threads` doctor check that compares active and archived
rollout files under `CODEX_HOME` with rows in the SQLite `threads`
table. The check reports missing rollout rows, stale DB rows, archive
flag mismatches, duplicate rollout thread IDs, duplicate DB paths,
source/provider summaries, and bounded samples of affected rollout
paths.
It also adds a read-only state audit helper in `codex-rs/state` so
doctor can inspect thread rows without creating, migrating, or repairing
the database.

```
## Why
We are seeing cases where users have an old background app-server still
running. `codex doctor` already reports background server state, but
without the running app-server version it is harder to diagnose
behaviors that depend on the daemon build.
## What changed
- Reused the app-server daemon's passive initialize probe through a
narrow `probe_app_server_version` helper.
- Updated the `codex doctor` Background Server section to report
`app-server version: <version>` when the socket is reachable.
- Preserved the not-running OK behavior and report `app-server version:
unavailable (<short error>)` when a socket exists but the passive probe
fails.
## Why
Issue #23031 was hard to diagnose from existing `codex doctor` output
because support could not see the OS language, resolved Git install, Git
repo metadata, Windows console mode/code page, or terminal-title inputs
that affect the TUI startup path. This adds those read-only signals to
`codex doctor` so Windows, Linux, and macOS reports carry the context
needed to investigate similar terminal rendering regressions.
Refs #23031
## What Changed
- Add a `system.environment` check for OS type/version, OS language, and
locale env vars.
- Add a `git.environment` check for the selected Git executable, PATH
Git candidates, version, exec path/build options, repository root,
branch, `.git` entry, and `core.fsmonitor`.
- Add Windows console code page and VT-processing mode details to
terminal diagnostics.
- Add a `terminal.title` check for configured/default title items and
resolved project-title source/value.
- Surface startup warning counts in config diagnostics and teach human
output to render the new categories.
## How to Test
1. On Windows, check out this branch and run `cargo run -p codex-cli --
doctor --summary`.
2. Confirm the Environment section includes `system`, `git`, `terminal`,
and `title` rows.
3. Run `cargo run -p codex-cli -- doctor --json`.
4. Confirm the JSON contains `system.environment`, `git.environment`,
and `terminal.title`; on Windows, confirm `terminal.env` details include
console code pages and `VT processing` for stdout/stderr.
5. From a non-git directory, run the same `doctor --json` command and
confirm the Git check reports `repo detected: false` rather than
warning.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-cli doctor`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
## Summary
- add `--oauth-client-id` and `--oauth-resource` options for streamable
HTTP `codex mcp add` registrations
- persist those options in MCP server config and use them during the
immediate OAuth login flow
- cover add-time serialization of both OAuth options in the CLI
integration tests
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
## Why
`codex sandbox` now always runs the host sandbox backend, so it should
accept the same profile selection mechanism as the rest of the runtime
CLI surface. Without `--profile`, sandbox debugging can exercise only
the default config stack unless users manually translate profile config
into ad hoc `-c` overrides.
Supporting `--profile` lets sandbox invocations load
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`, including permission profile
configuration, before resolving the sandbox policy for the command being
run.
## What Changed
- Added `--profile NAME` / `-p NAME` to the host-specific `codex
sandbox` argument structs as `config_profile`.
- Allowed root-level `codex --profile NAME sandbox ...` and made a
sandbox-local `codex sandbox --profile NAME ...` override the root
selection.
- Threaded `LoaderOverrides` through sandbox config loading so selected
config profile files participate in permission resolution before the
legacy read-only fallback.
- Documented the new sandbox flag in `codex-rs/README.md`.
## Verification
- Added parser coverage for `codex sandbox --profile`.
- Added sandbox config-loader coverage that verifies selected config
profile loader overrides select the profile config rather than falling
back to read-only.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-cli`.
## Why
`codex sandbox` previously required an OS subcommand like `linux`,
`macos`, or `windows`, even though the command can only run the sandbox
backend available on the current host. That made the CLI imply a
cross-OS choice that does not exist.
## What changed
- Collapse `codex sandbox <os>` into `codex sandbox [COMMAND]...` by
wiring the `sandbox` parser directly to the host-specific backend args
with `cfg`.
- Keep the existing backend runners for Seatbelt, Linux sandbox, and
Windows restricted token.
- Rename the public Windows debug sandbox runner to
`run_command_under_windows_sandbox` for clarity.
- Update the Rust sandbox docs and related README references to describe
host OS selection and avoid pointing readers at legacy `sandbox_mode`
config.
## Arg0 compatibility
The `codex-linux-sandbox` helper path is still handled before normal CLI
parsing. `arg0_dispatch()` checks whether the executable basename is
`codex-linux-sandbox` and directly calls
`codex_linux_sandbox::run_main()`, so removing the `sandbox linux`
parser branch does not affect the arg0 helper flow.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
## Why
`codex --profile <name> mcp ...` should reach the same profile-v2
migration guard as runtime commands. Otherwise legacy
`[profiles.<name>]` users see the generic command-scope rejection
instead of the existing guidance to move settings into
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.
## What
- Allow `codex mcp` through the `--profile` subcommand gate.
- Pass profile loader overrides into the MCP entry point only to
validate profile-v2 migration when a profile is present.
- Keep MCP add/remove/list/get/login/logout behavior otherwise
unchanged; this does not add profile-scoped MCP server management.
- Cover the legacy profile migration error for `codex --profile work mcp
list`.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
## 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
Profile v2 is taking over the user-facing profile selection path, so the
CLI no longer needs to expose the transitional `--profile-v2` spelling.
This switches the public args surface to `--profile` before the
remaining legacy profile plumbing is removed separately.
## What
- Rebind `--profile` and `-p` to the v2 profile name argument that
selects `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.
- Stop parsing the legacy shared CLI profile argument while keeping its
implementation path in place for follow-up cleanup.
- Update CLI validation, profile-name parse errors, and the
legacy-profile collision message/tests to refer to `--profile`.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-config -p codex-protocol -p
codex-utils-cli`
## Summary
- render `codex plugin list` as one table per marketplace with the
marketplace manifest path shown above each table
- surface the installed plugin version in the CLI output by threading
`installed_version` through marketplace listing state
- narrow the system-root exemption so only known bundled/runtime
marketplaces skip missing-manifest failures, and keep `VERSION` empty
for cached-but-unconfigured plugins
## Rationale
The plugin list UX was hard to scan as a flat list and did not show
which installed version was active. This change makes the CLI output
easier to read in the real multi-marketplace case, keeps the plugin path
visible, fixes the Sapphire regression where bundled/runtime marketplace
roots were blocking `plugin list`, and addresses the two review findings
that came out of the follow-up deep review.
## Key Decisions
- kept the CLI output grouped per marketplace instead of one global
table so the marketplace path can live with the rows it owns
- kept `VERSION` as the installed version, which means it is empty until
a plugin is actually installed
- handled the bundled/runtime regression in the CLI snapshot validation
path rather than widening app-server protocol or changing marketplace
loading behavior
- narrowed the exemption to known system marketplace names plus expected
system paths, so user-configured marketplaces under those directories
still fail loudly
- gated `installed_version` on actual installed state so `VERSION`
cannot show stale cache state for `not installed` rows
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Sapphire: `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli` (`14 passed; 0
failed`)
- Sapphire smoke test: bundled/runtime roots still work
- `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin add sample@debug`
- `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin list`
- verified the bundled/runtime-root scenario no longer errors and shows
the expected marketplace table output
- Sapphire smoke test: custom marketplace under bundled path still
errors
- verified `failed to load configured marketplace snapshot(s)` for
`custom-marketplace`
- Sapphire smoke test: cached-but-unconfigured plugin hides version
- verified `sample@debug not installed` renders with an empty `VERSION`
column
## Sample Output
```text
/tmp/custom-marketplace/plugin.json
NAME VERSION STATUS DESCRIPTION
sample@debug 1.0.0 enabled Debug sample plugin
other@local not installed Local development plugin
```
## Why
PR #20559 added opt-in strict config parsing to the config-loading
command surfaces, but `codex exec-server` was left out. That meant
`codex exec-server --strict-config` was rejected even though the command
can load config for remote registration, and local server startup had no
way to fail fast on misspelled config keys.
## What Changed
- Added `--strict-config` to `codex exec-server`.
- Allowed root-level inheritance from `codex --strict-config
exec-server`.
- Validated config before local exec-server startup when strict mode is
requested.
- Reused the loaded strict-config-aware config for remote exec-server
registration auth.
- Added CLI coverage showing `codex exec-server --strict-config` rejects
unknown config fields.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- New integration test:
`strict_config_rejects_unknown_config_fields_for_exec_server`
## Documentation
Any strict-config command list on developers.openai.com/codex should
include `codex exec-server` with the other supported config-loading
entry points.
## Summary
- migrate exec-server remote registration naming from executor to
environment
- align CLI, public Rust exports, registry error messages, and relay
test fixtures with the environment registry contract
- keep the live registration path and response model consistent with
`/cloud/environment/{environment_id}/register`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server
remote::tests::register_environment_posts_with_auth_provider_headers
--manifest-path /Users/richardlee/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test relay

--manifest-path /Users/richardlee/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli --manifest-path
/Users/richardlee/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml` (still running when PR
opened; will update after completion if needed)
## Why
The package-builder stack now creates a canonical Codex package
directory where the entrypoint lives under `bin/`, bundled helper
resources live under `codex-resources/`, and bundled PATH-style tools
live under `codex-path/`. That layout is not specific to the standalone
installer: npm, brew, install scripts, and manually unpacked artifacts
should all be able to use the same package shape.
The Rust runtime still only knew about the legacy standalone release
layout, where resources sit next to the executable. A packaged binary
therefore would not identify its package root or prefer the bundled `rg`
from `codex-path/`.
## What changed
- Adds `CodexPackageLayout` to `codex-install-context` and detects it
from an executable path shaped like `<package>/bin/<entrypoint>` when
`<package>/codex-package.json` is present.
- Splits `InstallContext` into an install `method` plus an optional
package layout so the layout is shared across npm, bun, brew,
standalone, and other launch contexts.
- Stores package-layout paths as `AbsolutePathBuf` values.
- Keeps `codex-resources/` and `codex-path/` optional so Codex can still
run with degraded behavior if sidecar directories are missing.
- Updates `InstallContext::rg_command()` to prefer bundled
`codex-path/rg` or `rg.exe`, then fall back to the legacy standalone
resources location, then system `rg`.
- Updates `codex doctor` reporting so package installs show package,
bin, resources, and path directories, and so bundled search detection
recognizes `codex-path/` for any install method.
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-install-context`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
update_action::tests::maps_install_context_to_update_action`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
Thread goals are moving toward extension-owned runtime behavior, but
their persisted state was still stored in the shared state database.
This makes the goal store harder to isolate and keeps future storage
splits tied to ad hoc runtime plumbing.
This PR gives goals their own SQLite database while keeping the existing
`StateRuntime` entry point. The goal is to make this the pattern for
adding more dedicated runtime databases later.
This also reduce load on existing DB and reduce contention
## Limitation
Thread preview from goal is not supported anymore. I'm looking into this
[EDIT]: solved
## What changed
- Added a dedicated `goals_1.sqlite` database with its own
`goals_migrations` directory.
- Moved `thread_goals` creation into the goals DB migration set.
- Dropped the old `thread_goals` table from the main state DB with a
normal state migration. There is intentionally no backfill for existing
goal rows.
- Changed `GoalStore` to be backed only by the goals DB pool.
- Removed the old goal-write side effect that filled empty
`threads.preview` values from the goal objective.
- Added shared runtime DB path metadata so startup, telemetry, `codex
doctor`, and repair handling can include future DBs without bespoke path
lists.
- Updated Bazel compile data so the new goals migration directory is
available to `sqlx::migrate!`.
## Verification
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-state -p codex-cli -p codex-core -p

- `just fix -p codex-state`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
## Description
This PR makes `codex remote-control` behave like a foreground CLI
command by default. Running it now starts remote control, waits for
readiness, prints a clear status message with the machine name, and
stays alive until Ctrl-C.
Users who want daemon behavior can use `codex remote-control start`, and
`codex remote-control stop` now prints concise human-readable output.
`--json` remains available for scripts.
Implementation-wise, this now verifies the real app-server state instead
of just assuming startup worked. The CLI starts or connects to
app-server, probes its control socket, calls the `remoteControl/enable`
API, and waits for the remote-control status response/notification
before printing success.
For daemon mode, `codex remote-control start` also reports which managed
app-server binary was used, including its path and best-effort `codex
--version`, so failures are easier to diagnose.
## Examples
Example output:
```
> codex remote-control
Starting app-server with remote control enabled...
This machine is available for remote control as com-97826.
Press Ctrl-C to stop.
```
Error case using daemon (currently expected based on our publicly
released CLI version):
```
> ./target/debug/codex remote-control start
Starting app-server daemon with remote control enabled...
Error: app server did not become ready on /Users/owen/.codex/app-server-control/app-server-control.sock
Daemon used app-server:
path: /Users/owen/.codex/packages/standalone/current/codex
version: 0.130.0
Managed app-server stderr (/Users/owen/.codex/app-server-daemon/app-server.stderr.log):
error: unexpected argument '--remote-control' found
Usage: codex app-server [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]
For more information, try '--help'.
Caused by:
0: failed to connect to /Users/owen/.codex/app-server-control/app-server-control.sock
1: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
## What changed
- `codex remote-control` now runs remote control in the foreground and
prints a Ctrl-C stop hint.
- `codex remote-control start` starts the daemon and waits for remote
control readiness before reporting success.
- `codex remote-control stop` reports stopped/not-running status in
plain language.
- Startup failures now include recent managed app-server stderr to make
daemon issues easier to diagnose.
- Added coverage for CLI output, readiness waiting, foreground shutdown,
and stderr log tailing.
Addresses #23181
## Why
Renamed threads can share names, so hints that suggest resuming directly
by name are ambiguous. Issue #23181 asks for the picker hint to include
the thread name and thread ID in parens so users can disambiguate
safely.
## What
- Adds a shared resume hint formatter for named threads: run `codex
resume`, then select `<name> (<thread-id>)`.
- Uses that hint for /rename confirmations, TUI session summaries, and
CLI/TUI exit messages.
- Keeps direct `codex resume <thread-id>` guidance for unnamed threads.
## Verification
Manually verified that message after `/rename` and after `/exit` include
session ID in parens.

## Why
`codex exec resume` should have the same structured-output support as
top-level `codex exec`. Without `--output-schema`, multi-turn automation
has to choose between resumed session context and schema-validated JSON
output.
Fixes#22998.
## What changed
- Marked `--output-schema` as a global `codex exec` flag so it can be
passed after `resume`.
- Reused the existing output schema plumbing so resumed turns attach the
schema to the final response request while preserving session context.
This updates remote `exec-server` registration to use normal Codex auth
instead of a registry-issued credential. The registry request is built
from the existing auth-provider path, which preserves the biscuit-only
registry contract introduced in
[openai/openai#924101](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/924101)
while removing the old remote registry bearer env var and its direct
transport assumptions.
The default remote flow uses persisted ChatGPT auth from the normal
Codex config/storage path. This PR also includes the containerized Agent
Identity path needed by
[openai/openai#924260](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/924260):
remote `exec-server` accepts `--allow-agent-identity-auth`, permits
Agent Identity auth loaded from `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` only when that flag
is present, and reuses the existing Agent task registration plus derived
`AgentAssertion` header generation. API-key auth remains unsupported,
and Agent Identity stays opt-in.
Validation performed beyond normal presubmit coverage:
- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli exec_server_agent_identity_auth_flag_`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli remote_exec_server_auth_mode_`
I also attempted `cargo test -p codex-cli`. The new CLI tests passed
inside that run, but the suite ended on an unrelated local
marketplace-state failure in
`plugin_list_excludes_unconfigured_repo_local_marketplaces`.
## Why
On Windows npm-managed installs expose the working shim as `npm.cmd`.
`codex doctor` probed bare `npm`, which could incorrectly report that
npm global-root inspection was unavailable even when the install was
healthy.
Fixes#22964.
## What changed
- Use `npm.cmd` for the doctor npm-root probe on Windows.
- Keep the existing `npm` probe on non-Windows platforms.
## Summary
- Add optional image detail to user image inputs across core, app-server
v2, thread history/event mapping, and the generated app-server
schemas/types.
- Preserve requested detail when serializing Responses image inputs:
omitted detail stays on the existing `high` default, while explicit
`original` keeps local images on the original-resolution path.
- Support `high`/`original` consistently for tool image outputs,
including MCP `codex/imageDetail`, code-mode image helpers, and
`view_image`.
## Why
#22580 made app-server startup fail when the local SQLite state database
cannot be initialized. Embedded/local TUI startup still continued on the
permissive path, which left the CLI inconsistent and could hide a real
startup problem behind unrelated UI. This brings local TUI startup onto
the same fail-closed behavior while keeping recovery humane for the two
failure modes we are seeing in practice: damaged database files and
startup stalls caused by another process holding the database write
lock.
## What changed
- Embedded TUI startup now uses `state_db::try_init(...)` and returns a
typed `LocalStateDbStartupError` that preserves the affected database
path plus the underlying failure detail.
- CLI startup handles that failure before entering the interactive TUI:
- lock-contention failures tell users to quit other Codex processes and
try again
- failures consistent with a broken local database offer a safe repair
that backs up Codex-owned SQLite files, rebuilds local database files,
and retries startup once
- declined or unsuccessful repairs print concise guidance plus technical
details
- Shared startup error plumbing lives in `tui/src/startup_error.rs`,
while CLI recovery policy and focused recovery tests live in
`cli/src/state_db_recovery.rs`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
embedded_state_db_failure_is_typed_for_cli_recovery`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli state_db_recovery`
- Manually held an exclusive SQLite lock on `state_5.sqlite` and
confirmed the CLI shows lock-specific guidance without offering repair.
- Manually exercised the repair path with a deliberately invalid
`sqlite_home` and confirmed it backs up the blocking path and resumes
startup.
## Why
This PR is the invariant-cleanup layer that follows the workspace-roots
base merged in [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610).
#22610 adds `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` and keeps runtime
workspace roots separate from the raw permission profile, but its
in-memory representation is intentionally transitional: `Permissions`
still carries the selected profile identity next to a constrained
`PermissionProfile`. That makes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` fragile
because the id and value only mean the right thing when every caller
keeps them in sync.
This PR introduces a single resolved profile state so profile identity,
`extends`, the profile value, and profile-declared workspace roots
travel together. The next PR,
[#22611](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22611), builds on this by
changing the app-server turn API to select permission profiles by id
plus runtime workspace roots.
## Stack Context
- #22610, now merged: adds profile-declared `workspace_roots`, runtime
workspace roots, and `:workspace_roots` materialization.
- This PR: replaces the parallel active-profile/profile-value fields
with `PermissionProfileState`.
- #22611: switches app-server turn updates toward profile ids plus
runtime workspace roots.
- #22612: updates TUI/exec summaries to show the effective workspace
roots.
Keeping this separate from #22611 is deliberate: reviewers can validate
the internal state invariant before reviewing the app-server protocol
migration.
## What Changed
- Added `ResolvedPermissionProfile::{Legacy, BuiltIn, Named}` and
`PermissionProfileState`.
- Typed built-in profile ids with `BuiltInPermissionProfileId`.
- Moved selected profile identity and profile-declared workspace roots
into the resolved state.
- Replaced `Permissions` parallel profile fields with one
`permission_profile_state`.
- Removed `set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()`
from session sync paths.
- Kept trusted session replay/`SessionConfigured` compatibility through
explicit session snapshot helpers.
- Updated session configuration, MCP initialization, app-server, exec,
TUI, and guardian call sites to consume `&PermissionProfile` directly.
## Review Guide
Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/resolved_permission_profile.rs`; it
is the new invariant boundary. Then review
`codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` to see how config loading records
active profile identity and profile workspace roots. The remaining
call-site changes are mostly mechanical fallout from
`Permissions::permission_profile()` returning `&PermissionProfile`
instead of `&Constrained<PermissionProfile>`.
## Verification
The existing config/session coverage now constructs and asserts through
`PermissionProfileState`. The workspace-root config test also asserts
that profile-declared roots are preserved in the resolved state, which
is the behavior #22611 relies on when runtime roots become mutable
through the app-server API.

## Why
This is the configuration/model half of the alternative permissions
migration we discussed as a comparison point for
[#22401](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22401) and
[#22402](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22402).
The old `workspace-write` model mixes three concerns that we want to
keep separate:
- reusable profile rules that should stay immutable once selected
- user/runtime workspace roots from `cwd`, `--add-dir`, and legacy
workspace-write config
- internal Codex writable roots such as memories, which should not be
shown as user workspace roots
This PR gives permission profiles first-class `workspace_roots` so users
can opt multiple repositories into the same `:workspace_roots` rules
without using broad absolute-path write grants. It also starts
separating the raw selected profile from the effective runtime profile
by making `Permissions` expose explicit accessors instead of public
mutable fields.
A representative `config.toml` looks like this:
```toml
default_permissions = "dev"
[permissions.dev.workspace_roots]
"~/code/openai" = true
"~/code/developers-website" = true
[permissions.dev.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
".codex" = "read"
".git" = "read"
".vscode" = "read"
```
If Codex starts in `~/code/codex` with that profile selected, the
effective workspace-root set becomes:
- `~/code/codex` from the runtime `cwd`
- `~/code/openai` from the profile
- `~/code/developers-website` from the profile
The `:workspace_roots` rules are materialized across each root, so
`.git`, `.codex`, and `.vscode` stay scoped the same way everywhere.
Runtime additions such as `--add-dir` can still layer on later stack
entries without mutating the selected profile.
## Stack Shape
This PR intentionally stops before the profile-identity cleanup in
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) so the base review
stays focused on config loading, workspace-root materialization, and
compatibility with legacy `workspace-write`.
The representation in this PR is therefore transitional: `Permissions`
carries enough state to distinguish the raw constrained profile from the
effective runtime profile, and there are still call sites that must keep
the active profile identity and constrained profile value in sync. The
follow-up PR replaces that with a single resolved profile state
(`ResolvedPermissionProfile` / `PermissionProfileState`) that keeps the
profile id, immutable `PermissionProfile`, and profile-declared
workspace roots together. That follow-up removes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` where
separate arguments could drift out of sync.
Downstream PRs then build on this base to switch app-server turn updates
to profile ids plus runtime workspace roots and to finish the
user-visible summary behavior. Reviewers should judge this PR as the
workspace-roots foundation, not as the final in-memory shape of selected
permission profiles.
## Review Guide
Suggested review order:
1. Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs`.
This is the main shape change in the base slice. `Permissions` now
stores a private raw `Constrained<PermissionProfile>` plus runtime
`workspace_roots`. Callers use `permission_profile()` when they need the
raw constrained value and `effective_permission_profile()` when they
need a materialized runtime profile. As noted above,
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) replaces this
transitional shape with a resolved profile state that keeps identity and
profile data together.
2. Review `codex-rs/config/src/permissions_toml.rs` and
`codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions.rs`.
These add `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]`, resolve enabled entries
relative to the policy cwd, and keep `:workspace_roots` deny-read glob
patterns symbolic until the actual roots are known.
3. Review `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` and
`codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`.
These add the policy/profile materialization helpers that expand exact
`:workspace_roots` entries and scoped deny-read globs over every
workspace root. This is also where `ActivePermissionProfileModification`
is removed from the core model.
4. Review the legacy bridge in
`Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides` and
`Config::set_legacy_sandbox_policy`.
This is where legacy `workspace-write` roots become runtime workspace
roots, while Codex internal writable roots stay internal and do not
appear as user-facing workspace roots.
5. Then skim downstream call sites.
The interesting pattern is raw-vs-effective access: state/proxy/bwrap
paths keep the raw constrained profile, while execution, summaries, and
user-visible status use the effective profile and workspace-root list.
## What Changed
- added `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` to the config model and
schema
- added runtime `workspace_roots` state to `Config`/`Permissions` and
`ConfigOverrides`
- made `Permissions` profile fields private and replaced direct mutation
with accessors/setters
- added `PermissionProfile` and `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` helpers for
materializing `:workspace_roots` exact paths and deny-read globs across
all roots
- moved legacy additional writable roots into runtime workspace-root
state instead of active profile modifications
- removed `ActivePermissionProfileModification` and its app-server
protocol/schema export
- updated sandbox/status summary paths so internal writable roots are
not reported as user workspace roots
## Verification Strategy
The targeted tests cover the behavior at the layers where regressions
are most likely:
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/config_tests.rs` verifies config loading,
legacy workspace-root seeding, effective profile materialization, and
memory-root handling.
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions_tests.rs` verifies profile
`workspace_roots` parsing and `:workspace_roots` scoped/glob
compilation.
- `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` unit tests verify exact and
glob materialization over multiple workspace roots.
- `codex-rs/tui/src/status/tests.rs` and
`codex-rs/utils/sandbox-summary/src/sandbox_summary.rs` verify the
user-facing summaries show effective workspace roots and hide internal
writes.
I also ran `cargo check --tests` locally after the latest stack refresh
to catch cross-crate API breakage from the private-field/accessor
changes.

## Why
The TUI still had a few low-risk dependencies flowing through the
transitional `legacy_core` namespace after the app-server migration.
These helpers either already have clearer non-core owners or are
presentation logic that does not belong in `codex-core`, so moving them
out reduces the compatibility surface without changing product behavior.
## What changed
This is a low-risk change, almost completely mechanical in nature.
- Route TUI Codex-home lookup through `codex-utils-home-dir`, use
`Config::log_dir` directly, and call
`codex-sandboxing::system_bwrap_warning` without going through
`legacy_core`.
- Move shared `codex resume` hint formatting from `codex-core` into
`codex-utils-cli`.
- Update CLI and TUI call sites to use the shared CLI utility, and keep
the resume-command behavior covered by tests in its new home.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli resume_command`
## Summary
This change lets `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` accept multiple workspace
IDs instead of a single value.
It keeps the existing config key name, adds backward-compatible parsing
for a single string in `config.toml`, and normalizes the setting into an
allowed workspace list across login enforcement, app-server config
surfaces, and local ChatGPT auth helpers.
## Why
Workspace-restricted deployments may need to allow more than one ChatGPT
workspace without dropping the guardrail entirely.
## Server-side impact
Codex's local server and app-server protocol needed changes because they
previously assumed a single workspace ID. The local login flow now
matches the auth backend interface by sending the allowed workspace list
as a single comma-separated `allowed_workspace_id` query parameter.
## Validation
This was tested with:
- A single workspace config
- With multi-workspace configs
- With multiple workspaces in the config
- The user only being a part of a subset of them
All were successful.
Automated coverage:
- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui local_chatgpt_auth`
- `cargo test --locked -p codex-app-server
login_account_chatgpt_includes_forced_workspace_allowlist_query_param`
## Why
Some MCP OAuth providers require a pre-registered public client ID and
cannot rely on dynamic client registration. Codex already supports MCP
OAuth, but it had no way to supply that client ID from config into the
PKCE flow.
## What changed
- add `oauth.client_id` under `[mcp_servers.<server>]` config, including
config editing and schema generation
- thread the configured client ID through CLI, app-server, plugin login,
and MCP skill dependency OAuth entrypoints
- configure RMCP authorization with the explicit client when present,
while preserving the existing dynamic-registration path when it is
absent
- add focused coverage for config parsing/serialization and OAuth URL
generation
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config -p codex-rmcp-client -p codex-mcp -p
codex-core-plugins`
- `cargo test -p codex-core blocking_replace_mcp_servers_round_trips
--lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
replace_mcp_servers_streamable_http_serializes_oauth_resource --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture --lib`
## Notes
Broader local package runs still hit unrelated pre-existing stack
overflows in:
- `codex-app-server::in_process_start_clamps_zero_channel_capacity`
-
`codex-core::resume_agent_from_rollout_uses_edge_data_when_descendant_metadata_source_is_stale`
