Summary:
- parse the realtime call Location header and join that call over the
direct realtime WebSocket
- keep WebRTC starts alive on the existing realtime conversation path
Validation:
- just fmt
- git diff --check
- cargo check -p codex-api
- cargo check -p codex-core --tests
- local cargo tests not run; relying on PR CI
When running with remote executor the cwd is the remote path. Today we
check for existence of a local directory on startup and attempt to load
config from it.
For remote executors don't do that.
## Summary
- Carry `AbsolutePathBuf` through tool cwd parsing/resolution instead of
resolving workdirs to raw `PathBuf`s.
- Type exec/sandbox request cwd fields as `AbsolutePathBuf` through
`ExecParams`, `ExecRequest`, `SandboxCommand`, and unified exec runtime
requests.
- Keep `PathBuf` conversions at external/event boundaries and update
existing tests/fixtures for the typed cwd.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
- `cargo check -p codex-sandboxing --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::handlers::`
- `just fix -p codex-sandboxing`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
Full `codex-core` test suite was not run locally; per repo guidance I
kept local validation targeted.
Fast Mode status was still tied to one model name in the TUI and
model-list plumbing. This changes the model metadata shape so a model
can advertise additional speed tiers, carries that field through the
app-server model list, and uses it to decide when to show Fast Mode
status.
For people using Codex, the behavior is intended to stay the same for
existing models. Fast Mode still requires the existing signed-in /
feature-gated path; the difference is that the UI can now recognize any
model the model list marks as Fast-capable, instead of requiring a new
client-side slug check.
Adds WebRTC startup to the experimental app-server
`thread/realtime/start` method with an optional transport enum. The
websocket path remains the default; WebRTC offers create the realtime
session through the shared start flow and emit the answer SDP via
`thread/realtime/sdp`.

## Summary
This adds `experimental_network.danger_full_access_denylist_only` for
orgs that want yolo / danger-full-access sessions to keep full network
access while still enforcing centrally managed deny rules.
When the flag is true and the session sandbox is `danger-full-access`,
the network proxy starts with:
- domain allowlist set to `*`
- managed domain `deny` entries enforced
- upstream proxy use allowed
- all Unix sockets allowed
- local/private binding allowed
Caveat: the denylist is best effort only. In yolo / danger-full-access
mode, Codex or the model can use an allowed socket or other
local/private network path to bypass the proxy denylist, so this should
not be treated as a hard security boundary.
The flag is intentionally scoped to `SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess`.
Read-only and workspace-write modes keep the existing managed/user
allowlist, denylist, Unix socket, and local-binding behavior. This does
not enable the non-loopback proxy listener setting; that still requires
its own explicit config.
This also threads the new field through config requirements parsing,
app-server protocol/schema output, config API mapping, and the TUI debug
config output.
## How to use
Add the flag under `[experimental_network]` in the network policy config
that is delivered to Codex. The setting is not under `[permissions]`.
```toml
[experimental_network]
enabled = true
danger_full_access_denylist_only = true
[experimental_network.domains]
"blocked.example.com" = "deny"
"*.blocked.example.com" = "deny"
```
With that configuration, yolo / danger-full-access sessions get broad
network access except for the managed denied domains above. The denylist
remains a best-effort proxy policy because the session may still use
allowed sockets to bypass it. Other sandbox modes do not get the
wildcard domain allowlist or the socket/local-binding relaxations from
this flag.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config network_requirements`

Addresses #16244
This was a performance regression introduced when we moved the TUI on
top of the app server API.
Problem: `/mcp` rebuilt a full MCP inventory through
`mcpServerStatus/list`, including resources and resource templates that
made the TUI wait on slow inventory probes.
Solution: add a lightweight `detail` mode to `mcpServerStatus/list`,
have `/mcp` request tools-and-auth only, and cover the fast path with
app-server and TUI tests.
Testing: Confirmed slow (multi-second) response prior to change and
immediate response after change.
I considered two options:
1. Change the existing `mcpServerStatus/list` API to accept an optional
"details" parameter so callers can request only a subset of the
information.
2. Add a separate `mcpServer/list` API that returns only the servers,
tools, and auth but omits the resources.
I chose option 1, but option 2 is also a reasonable approach.
Extract a shared helper that builds AuthManager from Config and applies
the forced ChatGPT workspace override in one place.
Create the shared AuthManager at MessageProcessor call sites so that
upcoming new transport's initialization can reuse the same handle, and
keep only external auth refresher wiring inside `MessageProcessor`.
Remove the now-unused `AuthManager::shared_with_external_auth` helper.
Guardian events were emitted a bit out of order for CommandExecution
items. This would make it hard for the frontend to render a guardian
auto-review, which has this payload:
```
pub struct ItemGuardianApprovalReviewStartedNotification {
pub thread_id: String,
pub turn_id: String,
pub target_item_id: String,
pub review: GuardianApprovalReview,
// FYI this is no longer a json blob
pub action: Option<JsonValue>,
}
```
There is a `target_item_id` the auto-approval review is referring to,
but the actual item had not been emitted yet.
Before this PR:
- `item/autoApprovalReview/started`
- `item/autoApprovalReview/completed`, and if approved...
- `item/started`
- `item/completed`
After this PR:
- `item/started`
- `item/autoApprovalReview/started`
- `item/autoApprovalReview/completed`
- `item/completed`
This lines up much better with existing patterns (i.e. human review in
`Default mode`, where app-server would send a server request to prompt
for user approval after `item/started`), and makes it easier for clients
to render what guardian is actually reviewing.
We do this following a similar pattern as `FileChange` (aka apply patch)
items, where we create a FileChange item and emit `item/started` if we
see the apply patch approval request, before the actual apply patch call
runs.
## Description
Add requirements.toml support for `allowed_approvals_reviewers =
["user", "guardian_subagent"]`, so admins can now restrict the use of
guardian mode.
Note: If a user sets a reviewer that isn’t allowed by requirements.toml,
config loading falls back to the first allowed reviewer and emits a
startup warning.
The table below describes the possible admin controls.
| Admin intent | `requirements.toml` | User `config.toml` | End result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave Guardian optional | omit `allowed_approvals_reviewers` or set
`["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | user chooses `approvals_reviewer =
"user"` or `"guardian_subagent"` | Guardian off for `user`, on for
`guardian_subagent` + `approval_policy = "on-request"` |
| Force Guardian off | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user"]` | any
user value | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off |
| Force Guardian on | `allowed_approvals_reviewers =
["guardian_subagent"]` and usually `allowed_approval_policies =
["on-request"]` | any user reviewer value; user should also have
`approval_policy = "on-request"` unless policy is forced | Effective
reviewer is `guardian_subagent`; Guardian on when effective approval
policy is `on-request` |
| Allow both, but default to manual if user does nothing |
`allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | omit
`approvals_reviewer` | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off |
| Allow both, and user explicitly opts into Guardian |
`allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` |
`approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"` and `approval_policy =
"on-request"` | Guardian on |
| Invalid admin config | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = []` | anything |
Config load error |
### Summary
Fix `thread/metadata/update` so it can still patch stored thread
metadata when the list/backfill-gated `get_state_db(...)` path is
unavailable.
What was happening:
- The app logs showed `thread/metadata/update` failing with `sqlite
state db unavailable for thread ...`.
- This was not isolated to one bad thread. Once the failure started for
a user, branch metadata updates failed 100% of the time for that user.
- Reports were staggered across users, which points at local app-server
/ local SQLite state rather than one global server-side failure.
- Turns could still start immediately after the metadata update failed,
which suggests the thread itself was valid and the failure was in the
metadata endpoint DB-handle path.
The fix:
- Keep using the loaded thread state DB and the normal
`get_state_db(...)` fallback first.
- If that still returns `None`, open `StateRuntime::init(...)` directly
for this targeted metadata update path.
- Log the direct state runtime init error if that final fallback also
fails, so future reports have the real DB-open cause instead of only the
generic unavailable error.
- Add a regression test where the DB exists but backfill is not
complete, and verify `thread/metadata/update` can still repair the
stored rollout thread and patch `gitInfo`.
Relevant context / suspect PRs:
- #16434 changed state DB startup to run auto-vacuum / incremental
vacuum. This is the most suspicious timing match for per-user, staggered
local SQLite availability failures.
- #16433 dropped the old log table from the state DB, also near the
timing window.
- #13280 introduced this endpoint and made it rely on SQLite for git
metadata without resuming the thread.
- #14859 and #14888 added/consumed persisted model + reasoning effort
metadata. I checked these because of the new thread metadata fields, but
this failure happens before the endpoint reaches thread-row update/load
logic, so they seem less likely as the direct cause.
### Testing
- `cargo fmt -- --config imports_granularity=Item` completed; local
stable rustfmt emitted warnings that `imports_granularity` is unstable
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_metadata_update`
- `git diff --check`
# Why this PR exists
This PR is trying to fix a coverage gap in the Windows Bazel Rust test
lane.
Before this change, the Windows `bazel test //...` job was nominally
part of PR CI, but a non-trivial set of `//codex-rs/...` Rust test
targets did not actually contribute test signal on Windows. In
particular, targets such as `//codex-rs/core:core-unit-tests`,
`//codex-rs/core:core-all-test`, and `//codex-rs/login:login-unit-tests`
were incompatible during Bazel analysis on the Windows gnullvm platform,
so they never reached test execution there. That is why the
Cargo-powered Windows CI job could surface Windows-only failures that
the Bazel-powered job did not report: Cargo was executing those tests,
while Bazel was silently dropping them from the runnable target set.
The main goal of this PR is to make the Windows Bazel test lane execute
those Rust test targets instead of skipping them during analysis, while
still preserving `windows-gnullvm` as the target configuration for the
code under test. In other words: use an MSVC host/exec toolchain where
Bazel helper binaries and build scripts need it, but continue compiling
the actual crate targets with the Windows gnullvm cfgs that our current
Bazel matrix is supposed to exercise.
# Important scope note
This branch intentionally removes the non-resource-loading `.rs` test
and production-code changes from the earlier
`codex/windows-bazel-rust-test-coverage` branch. The only Rust source
changes kept here are runfiles/resource-loading fixes in TUI tests:
- `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui/tests/manager_dependency_regression.rs`
That is deliberate. Since the corresponding tests already pass under
Cargo, this PR is meant to test whether Bazel infrastructure/toolchain
fixes alone are enough to get a healthy Windows Bazel test signal,
without changing test behavior for Windows timing, shell output, or
SQLite file-locking.
# How this PR changes the Windows Bazel setup
## 1. Split Windows host/exec and target concerns in the Bazel test lane
The core change is that the Windows Bazel test job now opts into an MSVC
host platform for Bazel execution-time tools, but only for `bazel test`,
not for the Bazel clippy build.
Files:
- `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
- `.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh`
- `MODULE.bazel`
What changed:
- `run-bazel-ci.sh` now accepts `--windows-msvc-host-platform`.
- When that flag is present on Windows, the wrapper appends
`--host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc` unless the caller already
provided an explicit `--host_platform`.
- `bazel.yml` passes that wrapper flag only for the Windows `bazel test
//...` job.
- The Bazel clippy job intentionally does **not** pass that flag, so
clippy stays on the default Windows gnullvm host/exec path and continues
linting against the target cfgs we care about.
- `run-bazel-ci.sh` also now forwards `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH` on
Windows and normalizes the `node` executable path with `cygpath -w`, so
tests that need Node resolve the runner's Node installation correctly
under the Windows Bazel test environment.
Why this helps:
- The original incompatibility chain was mostly on the **exec/tool**
side of the graph, not in the Rust test code itself. Moving host tools
to MSVC lets Bazel resolve helper binaries and generators that were not
viable on the gnullvm exec platform.
- Keeping the target platform on gnullvm preserves cfg coverage for the
crates under test, which is important because some Windows behavior
differs between `msvc` and `gnullvm`.
## 2. Teach the repo's Bazel Rust macro about Windows link flags and
integration-test knobs
Files:
- `defs.bzl`
- `codex-rs/core/BUILD.bazel`
- `codex-rs/otel/BUILD.bazel`
- `codex-rs/tui/BUILD.bazel`
What changed:
- Replaced the old gnullvm-only linker flag block with
`WINDOWS_RUSTC_LINK_FLAGS`, which now handles both Windows ABIs:
- gnullvm gets `-C link-arg=-Wl,--stack,8388608`
- MSVC gets `-C link-arg=/STACK:8388608`, `-C
link-arg=/NODEFAULTLIB:libucrt.lib`, and `-C link-arg=ucrt.lib`
- Threaded those Windows link flags into generated `rust_binary`,
unit-test binaries, and integration-test binaries.
- Extended `codex_rust_crate(...)` with:
- `integration_test_args`
- `integration_test_timeout`
- Used those new knobs to:
- mark `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` as a long-running integration
test
- serialize `//codex-rs/otel:otel-all-test` with `--test-threads=1`
- Added `src/**/*.rs` to `codex-rs/tui` test runfiles, because one
regression test scans source files at runtime and Bazel does not expose
source-tree directories unless they are declared as data.
Why this helps:
- Once host-side MSVC tools are available, we still need the generated
Rust test binaries to link correctly on Windows. The MSVC-side
stack/UCRT flags make those binaries behave more like their Cargo-built
equivalents.
- The integration-test macro knobs avoid hardcoding one-off test
behavior in ad hoc BUILD rules and make the generated test targets more
expressive where Bazel and Cargo have different runtime defaults.
## 3. Patch `rules_rs` / `rules_rust` so Windows MSVC exec-side Rust and
build scripts are actually usable
Files:
- `MODULE.bazel`
- `patches/rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
- `patches/BUILD.bazel`
What these patches do:
- `rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- Adds a `rust-lld` filegroup for Windows Rust toolchain repos,
symlinked to `lld-link.exe` from `PATH`.
- Marks Windows toolchains as using a direct linker driver.
- Supplies Windows stdlib link flags for both gnullvm and MSVC.
- `rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- For Windows MSVC Rust targets, prefers the Rust toolchain linker over
an inherited C++ linker path like `clang++`.
- This specifically avoids the broken mixed-mode command line where
rustc emits MSVC-style `/NOLOGO` / `/LIBPATH:` / `/OUT:` arguments but
Bazel still invokes `clang++.exe`.
- `rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- Normalizes forward-slash execroot-relative paths into Windows path
separators before joining them on Windows.
- Uses short Windows paths for `RUSTC`, `OUT_DIR`, and the build-script
working directory to avoid path-length and quoting issues in third-party
build scripts.
- Exposes `RULES_RUST_BAZEL_BUILD_SCRIPT_RUNNER=1` to build scripts so
crate-local patches can detect "this is running under Bazel's
build-script runner".
- Fixes the Windows runfiles cleanup filter so generated files with
retained suffixes are actually retained.
- `rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- For exec-side Windows MSVC build scripts, stops force-injecting
Bazel's `CC`, `CXX`, `LD`, `CFLAGS`, and `CXXFLAGS` when that would send
GNU-flavored tool paths/flags into MSVC-oriented Cargo build scripts.
- Rewrites or strips GNU-only `--sysroot`, MinGW include/library paths,
stack-protector, and `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` flags on the MSVC exec path.
- The practical effect is that build scripts can fall back to the Visual
Studio toolchain environment already exported by CI instead of crashing
inside Bazel's hermetic `clang.exe` setup.
- `rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- When using a direct linker on Windows, stops forwarding GNU driver
flags such as `-L...` and `--sysroot=...` that `lld-link.exe` does not
understand.
- Passes non-`.lib` native artifacts as explicit `-Clink-arg=<path>`
entries when needed.
- Filters C++ runtime libraries to `.lib` artifacts on the Windows
direct-driver path.
- `rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
- Excludes transient `*.tmp*` and `*.rcgu.o` files from process-wrapper
dependency search-path consolidation, so unstable compiler outputs do
not get treated as real link search-path inputs.
Why this helps:
- The host-platform split alone was not enough. Once Bazel started
analyzing/running previously incompatible Rust tests on Windows, the
next failures were in toolchain plumbing:
- MSVC-targeted Rust tests were being linked through `clang++` with
MSVC-style arguments.
- Cargo build scripts running under Bazel's Windows MSVC exec platform
were handed Unix/GNU-flavored path and flag shapes.
- Some generated paths were too long or had path-separator forms that
third-party Windows build scripts did not tolerate.
- These patches make that mixed Bazel/Cargo/Rust/MSVC path workable
enough for the test lane to actually build and run the affected crates.
## 4. Patch third-party crate build scripts that were not robust under
Bazel's Windows MSVC build-script path
Files:
- `MODULE.bazel`
- `patches/aws-lc-sys_windows_msvc_prebuilt_nasm.patch`
- `patches/ring_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/zstd-sys_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
What changed:
- `aws-lc-sys`
- Detects Bazel's Windows MSVC build-script runner via
`RULES_RUST_BAZEL_BUILD_SCRIPT_RUNNER` or a `bazel-out` manifest-dir
path.
- Uses `clang-cl` for Bazel Windows MSVC builds when no explicit
`CC`/`CXX` is set.
- Allows prebuilt NASM on the Bazel Windows MSVC path even when `nasm`
is not available directly in the runner environment.
- Avoids canonicalizing `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` in the Bazel Windows MSVC
case, because that path may point into Bazel output/runfiles state where
preserving the given path is more reliable than forcing a local
filesystem canonicalization.
- `ring`
- Under the Bazel Windows MSVC build-script runner, copies the
pregenerated source tree into `OUT_DIR` and uses that as the
generated-source root.
- Adds include paths needed by MSVC compilation for
Fiat/curve25519/P-256 generated headers.
- Rewrites a few relative includes in C sources so the added include
directories are sufficient.
- `zstd-sys`
- Adds MSVC-only include directories for `compress`, `decompress`, and
feature-gated dictionary/legacy/seekable sources.
- Skips `-fvisibility=hidden` on MSVC targets, where that
GCC/Clang-style flag is not the right mechanism.
Why this helps:
- After the `rules_rust` plumbing started running build scripts on the
Windows MSVC exec path, some third-party crates still failed for
crate-local reasons: wrong compiler choice, missing include directories,
build-script assumptions about manifest paths, or Unix-only C compiler
flags.
- These crate patches address those crate-local assumptions so the
larger toolchain change can actually reach first-party Rust test
execution.
## 5. Keep the only `.rs` test changes to Bazel/Cargo runfiles parity
Files:
- `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui/tests/manager_dependency_regression.rs`
What changed:
- Instead of asking `find_resource!` for a directory runfile like
`src/chatwidget/snapshots` or `src`, these tests now resolve one known
file runfile first and then walk to its parent directory.
Why this helps:
- Bazel runfiles are more reliable for explicitly declared files than
for source-tree directories that happen to exist in a Cargo checkout.
- This keeps the tests working under both Cargo and Bazel without
changing their actual assertions.
# What we tried before landing on this shape, and why those attempts did
not work
## Attempt 1: Force `--host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc` for all
Windows Bazel jobs
This did make the previously incompatible test targets show up during
analysis, but it also pushed the Bazel clippy job and some unrelated
build actions onto the MSVC exec path.
Why that was bad:
- Windows clippy started running third-party Cargo build scripts with
Bazel's MSVC exec settings and crashed in crates such as `tree-sitter`
and `libsqlite3-sys`.
- That was a regression in a job that was previously giving useful
gnullvm-targeted lint signal.
What this PR does instead:
- The wrapper flag is opt-in, and `bazel.yml` uses it only for the
Windows `bazel test` lane.
- The clippy lane stays on the default Windows gnullvm host/exec
configuration.
## Attempt 2: Broaden the `rules_rust` linker override to all Windows
Rust actions
This fixed the MSVC test-lane failure where normal `rust_test` targets
were linked through `clang++` with MSVC-style arguments, but it broke
the default gnullvm path.
Why that was bad:
-
`@@rules_rs++rules_rust+rules_rust//util/process_wrapper:process_wrapper`
on the gnullvm exec platform started linking with `lld-link.exe` and
then failed to resolve MinGW-style libraries such as `-lkernel32`,
`-luser32`, and `-lmingw32`.
What this PR does instead:
- The linker override is restricted to Windows MSVC targets only.
- The gnullvm path keeps its original linker behavior, while MSVC uses
the direct Windows linker.
## Attempt 3: Keep everything on pure Windows gnullvm and patch the V8 /
Python incompatibility chain instead
This would have preserved a single Windows ABI everywhere, but it is a
much larger project than this PR.
Why that was not the practical first step:
- The original incompatibility chain ran through exec-side generators
and helper tools, not only through crate code.
- `third_party/v8` is already special-cased on Windows gnullvm because
`rusty_v8` only publishes Windows prebuilts under MSVC names.
- Fixing that path likely means deeper changes in
V8/rules_python/rules_rust toolchain resolution and generator execution,
not just one local CI flag.
What this PR does instead:
- Keep gnullvm for the target cfgs we want to exercise.
- Move only the Windows test lane's host/exec platform to MSVC, then
patch the build-script/linker boundary enough for that split
configuration to work.
## Attempt 4: Validate compatibility with `bazel test --nobuild ...`
This turned out to be a misleading local validation command.
Why:
- `bazel test --nobuild ...` can successfully analyze targets and then
still exit 1 with "Couldn't start the build. Unable to run tests"
because there are no runnable test actions after `--nobuild`.
Better local check:
```powershell
bazel build --nobuild --keep_going --host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc //codex-rs/login:login-unit-tests //codex-rs/core:core-unit-tests //codex-rs/core:core-all-test
```
# Which patches probably deserve upstream follow-up
My rough take is that the `rules_rs` / `rules_rust` patches are the
highest-value upstream candidates, because they are fixing generic
Windows host/exec + MSVC direct-linker behavior rather than
Codex-specific test logic.
Strong upstream candidates:
- `patches/rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
Why these seem upstreamable:
- They address general-purpose problems in the Windows MSVC exec path:
- missing direct-linker exposure for Rust toolchains
- wrong linker selection when rustc emits MSVC-style args
- Windows path normalization/short-path issues in the build-script
runner
- forwarding GNU-flavored CC/link flags into MSVC Cargo build scripts
- unstable temp outputs polluting process-wrapper search-path state
Potentially upstreamable crate patches, but likely with more care:
- `patches/zstd-sys_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/ring_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/aws-lc-sys_windows_msvc_prebuilt_nasm.patch`
Notes on those:
- The `zstd-sys` and `ring` include-path fixes look fairly generic for
MSVC/Bazel build-script environments and may be straightforward to
propose upstream after we confirm CI stability.
- The `aws-lc-sys` patch is useful, but it includes a Bazel-specific
environment probe and CI-specific compiler fallback behavior. That
probably needs a cleaner upstream-facing shape before sending it out, so
upstream maintainers are not forced to adopt Codex's exact CI
assumptions.
Probably not worth upstreaming as-is:
- The repo-local Starlark/test target changes in `defs.bzl`,
`codex-rs/*/BUILD.bazel`, and `.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh` are
mostly Codex-specific policy and CI wiring, not generic rules changes.
# Validation notes for reviewers
On this branch, I ran the following local checks after dropping the
non-resource-loading Rust edits:
```powershell
cargo test -p codex-tui
just --shell 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe' --shell-arg -lc -- fix -p codex-tui
python .\tools\argument-comment-lint\run-prebuilt-linter.py -p codex-tui
just --shell 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe' --shell-arg -lc fmt
```
One local caveat:
- `just argument-comment-lint` still fails on this Windows machine for
an unrelated Bazel toolchain-resolution issue in
`//codex-rs/exec:exec-all-test`, so I used the direct prebuilt linter
for `codex-tui` as the local fallback.
# Expected reviewer takeaway
If this PR goes green, the important conclusion is that the Windows
Bazel test coverage gap was primarily a Bazel host/exec toolchain
problem, not a need to make the Rust tests themselves Windows-specific.
That would be a strong signal that the deleted non-resource-loading Rust
test edits from the earlier branch should stay out, and that future work
should focus on upstreaming the generic `rules_rs` / `rules_rust`
Windows fixes and reducing the crate-local patch surface.
## Why
Extracted from [#16528](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/16528) so
the Windows Bazel app-server test failures can be reviewed independently
from the rest of that PR.
This PR targets:
-
`suite::v2::thread_shell_command::thread_shell_command_runs_as_standalone_turn_and_persists_history`
-
`suite::v2::thread_start::thread_start_with_elevated_sandbox_trusts_project_and_followup_loads_project_config`
-
`suite::v2::thread_start::thread_start_with_nested_git_cwd_trusts_repo_root`
There were two Windows-specific assumptions baked into those tests and
the underlying trust lookup:
- project trust keys were persisted and looked up using raw path
strings, but Bazel's Windows test environment can surface canonicalized
paths with `\\?\` / UNC prefixes or normalized symlink/junction targets,
so follow-up `thread/start` requests no longer matched the project entry
that had just been written
- `item/commandExecution/outputDelta` assertions compared exact trailing
line endings even though shell output chunk boundaries and CRLF handling
can differ on Windows, and Bazel made that timing-sensitive mismatch
visible
There was also one behavior bug separate from the assertion cleanup:
`thread/start` decided whether to persist trust from the final resolved
sandbox policy, but on Windows an explicit `workspace-write` request may
be downgraded to `read-only`. That incorrectly skipped writing trust
even though the request had asked to elevate the project, so the new
logic also keys off the requested sandbox mode.
## What
- Canonicalize project trust keys when persisting/loading `[projects]`
entries, while still accepting legacy raw keys for existing configs.
- Persist project trust when `thread/start` explicitly requests
`workspace-write` or `danger-full-access`, even if the resolved policy
is later downgraded on Windows.
- Make the Windows app-server tests compare persisted trust paths and
command output deltas in a path/newline-normalized way.
## Verification
- Existing app-server v2 tests cover the three failing Windows Bazel
cases above.
Addresses #16124
Problem: `codex --remote --cd <path>` canonicalized the path locally and
then omitted it from remote thread lifecycle requests, so remote-only
working directories failed or were ignored.
Solution: Keep remote startup on the local cwd, forward explicit `--cd`
values verbatim to `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork`,
and cover the behavior with `codex-tui` tests.
Testing: I manually tested `--remote --cd` with both absolute and
relative paths and validated correct behavior.
---
Update based on code review feedback:
Problem: Remote `--cd` was forwarded to `thread/resume` and
`thread/fork`, but not to `thread/list` lookups, so `--resume --last`
and picker flows could select a session from the wrong cwd; relative cwd
filters also failed against stored absolute paths.
Solution: Apply explicit remote `--cd` to `thread/list` lookups for
`--last` and picker flows, normalize relative cwd filters on the
app-server before exact matching, and document/test the behavior.
Addresses #15282
Problem: Codex warned about missing system bubblewrap even when
sandboxing was disabled.
Solution: Gate the bwrap warning on the active sandbox policy and skip
it for danger-full-access and external-sandbox modes.
Addresses #16671 and #14927
Problem: `mcpServerStatus/list` rebuilt MCP tool groups from sanitized
tool prefixes but looked them up by unsanitized server names, so
hyphenated servers rendered as having no tools in `/mcp`. This was
reported as a regression when the TUI switched to use the app server.
Solution: Build each server's tool map using the original server name's
sanitized prefix, include effective runtime MCP servers in the status
response, and add a regression test for hyphenated server names.
Stacked on #16508.
This removes the temporary `codex-core` / `codex-login` re-export shims
from the ownership split and rewrites callsites to import directly from
`codex-model-provider-info`, `codex-models-manager`, `codex-api`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-feedback`, and `codex-response-debug-context`.
No behavior change intended; this is the mechanical import cleanup layer
split out from the ownership move.

## Summary
- split `models-manager` out of `core` and add `ModelsManagerConfig`
plus `Config::to_models_manager_config()` so model metadata paths stop
depending on `core::Config`
- move login-owned/auth-owned code out of `core` into `codex-login`,
move model provider config into `codex-model-provider-info`, move API
bridge mapping into `codex-api`, move protocol-owned types/impls into
`codex-protocol`, and move response debug helpers into a dedicated
`response-debug-context` crate
- move feedback tag emission into `codex-feedback`, relocate tests to
the crates that now own the code, and keep broad temporary re-exports so
this PR avoids a giant import-only rewrite
## Major moves and decisions
- created `codex-models-manager` as the owner for model
cache/catalog/config/model info logic, including the new
`ModelsManagerConfig` struct
- created `codex-model-provider-info` as the owner for provider config
parsing/defaults and kept temporary `codex-login`/`codex-core`
re-exports for old import paths
- moved `api_bridge` error mapping + `CoreAuthProvider` into
`codex-api`, while `codex-login::api_bridge` temporarily re-exports
those symbols and keeps the `auth_provider_from_auth` wrapper
- moved `auth_env_telemetry` and `provider_auth` ownership to
`codex-login`
- moved `CodexErr` ownership to `codex-protocol::error`, plus
`StreamOutput`, `bytes_to_string_smart`, and network policy helpers to
protocol-owned modules
- created `codex-response-debug-context` for
`extract_response_debug_context`, `telemetry_transport_error_message`,
and related response-debug plumbing instead of leaving that behavior in
`core`
- moved `FeedbackRequestTags`, `emit_feedback_request_tags`, and
`emit_feedback_request_tags_with_auth_env` to `codex-feedback`
- deferred removal of temporary re-exports and the mechanical import
rewrites to a stacked follow-up PR so this PR stays reviewable
## Test moves
- moved auth refresh coverage from `core/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs` to
`login/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs`
- moved text encoding coverage from
`core/tests/suite/text_encoding_fix.rs` to
`protocol/src/exec_output_tests.rs`
- moved model info override coverage from
`core/tests/suite/model_info_overrides.rs` to
`models-manager/src/model_info_overrides_tests.rs`

## Why
`thread/shellCommand` executes the raw command string through the
current user shell, which is PowerShell on Windows. The two v2
app-server tests in `app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_shell_command.rs`
used POSIX `printf`, so Bazel CI on Windows failed with `printf` not
being recognized as a PowerShell command.
For reference, the user-shell task wraps commands with the active shell
before execution:
[`core/src/tasks/user_shell.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/7a3eec6fdb356bd71f80582119eb829179ff0da1/codex-rs/core/src/tasks/user_shell.rs#L120-L126).
## What Changed
Added a test-local helper that builds a shell-appropriate output command
and expected newline sequence from `default_user_shell()`:
- PowerShell: `Write-Output '...'` with `\r\n`
- Cmd: `echo ...` with `\r\n`
- POSIX shells: `printf '%s\n' ...` with `\n`
Both `thread_shell_command_runs_as_standalone_turn_and_persists_history`
and `thread_shell_command_uses_existing_active_turn` now use that
helper.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_shell_command`
- Persist trusted cwd state during thread/start when the resolved
sandbox is elevated.
- Add app-server coverage for trusted root resolution and confirm
turn/start does not mutate trust.
Addresses #16560
Problem: `/status` stopped showing the source thread id in forked TUI
sessions after the app-server migration.
Solution: Carry fork source ids through app-server v2 thread data and
the TUI session adapter, and update TUI fixtures so `/status` matches
the old TUI behavior.
## Why
This finishes the config-type move out of `codex-core` by removing the
temporary compatibility shim in `codex_core::config::types`. Callers now
depend on `codex-config` directly, which keeps these config model types
owned by the config crate instead of re-expanding `codex-core` as a
transitive API surface.
## What Changed
- Removed the `codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` re-export shim and the
`core::config::ApprovalsReviewer` re-export.
- Updated `codex-core`, `codex-cli`, `codex-tui`, `codex-app-server`,
`codex-mcp-server`, and `codex-linux-sandbox` call sites to import
`codex_config::types` directly.
- Added explicit `codex-config` dependencies to downstream crates that
previously relied on the `codex-core` re-export.
- Regenerated `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json` after updating the
config docs path reference.
## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## Why
`codex-mcp` already owns the shared MCP API surface, including `auth`,
`McpConfig`, `CODEX_APPS_MCP_SERVER_NAME`, and tool-name helpers in
[`codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/f61e85dbfb5373cde6827d232ac8ea447c237e81/codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs#L1-L35).
Re-exporting that surface from `codex_core::mcp` gives downstream crates
two import paths for the same API and hides the real crate dependency.
This PR keeps `codex_core::mcp` focused on the local `McpManager`
wrapper in
[`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/f61e85dbfb5373cde6827d232ac8ea447c237e81/codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs#L13-L40)
and makes consumers import shared MCP APIs from `codex_mcp` directly.
## What
- Remove the `codex_mcp::mcp` re-export surface from `core/src/mcp.rs`.
- Update `codex-core` internals plus `codex-app-server`, `codex-cli`,
and `codex-tui` test code to import MCP APIs from `codex_mcp::mcp`
directly.
- Add explicit `codex-mcp` dependencies where those crates now use that
API surface, and refresh `Cargo.lock`.
## Verification
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `codex-cli` passed.
- `codex-core` still fails five unrelated config tests in
`core/src/config/config_tests.rs` (`approvals_reviewer_*` and
`smart_approvals_alias_*`).
- A broader `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli
-p codex-tui` run previously hung in `codex-app-server` test
`in_process_start_uses_requested_session_source_for_thread_start`.
- Split MCP runtime/server code out of `codex-core` into the new
`codex-mcp` crate. New/moved public structs/types include `McpConfig`,
`McpConnectionManager`, `ToolInfo`, `ToolPluginProvenance`,
`CodexAppsToolsCacheKey`, and the `McpManager` API
(`codex_mcp::mcp::McpManager` plus the `codex_core::mcp::McpManager`
wrapper/shim). New/moved functions include `with_codex_apps_mcp`,
`configured_mcp_servers`, `effective_mcp_servers`,
`collect_mcp_snapshot`, `collect_mcp_snapshot_from_manager`,
`qualified_mcp_tool_name_prefix`, and the MCP auth/skill-dependency
helpers. Why: this creates a focused MCP crate boundary and shrinks
`codex-core` without forcing every consumer to migrate in the same PR.
- Move MCP server config schema and persistence into `codex-config`.
New/moved structs/enums include `AppToolApproval`,
`McpServerToolConfig`, `McpServerConfig`, `RawMcpServerConfig`,
`McpServerTransportConfig`, `McpServerDisabledReason`, and
`codex_config::ConfigEditsBuilder`. New/moved functions include
`load_global_mcp_servers` and
`ConfigEditsBuilder::replace_mcp_servers`/`apply`. Why: MCP TOML
parsing/editing is config ownership, and this keeps config
validation/round-tripping (including per-tool approval overrides and
inline bearer-token rejection) in the config crate instead of
`codex-core`.
- Rewire `codex-core`, app-server, and plugin call sites onto the new
crates. Updated `Config::to_mcp_config(&self, plugins_manager)`,
`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`, `codex-rs/core/src/connectors.rs`,
`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`,
`CodexMessageProcessor::list_mcp_server_status_task`, and
`utils/plugins/src/mcp_connector.rs` to build/pass the new MCP
config/runtime types. Why: plugin-provided MCP servers still merge with
user-configured servers, and runtime auth (`CodexAuth`) is threaded into
`with_codex_apps_mcp` / `collect_mcp_snapshot` explicitly so `McpConfig`
stays config-only.
## Description
Previously the `action` field on `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment`, which
describes what Guardian is reviewing, was typed as an arbitrary JSON
blob. This PR cleans it up and defines a sum type representing all the
various actions that Guardian can review.
This is a breaking change (on purpose), which is fine because:
- the Codex app / VSCE does not actually use `action` at the moment
- the TUI code that consumes `action` is updated in this PR as well
- rollout files that serialized old `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment` will
just silently drop these guardian events
- the contract is defined as unstable, so other clients have a fair
warning :)
This will make things much easier for followup Guardian work.
## Why
The old guardian review payloads worked, but they pushed too much shape
knowledge into downstream consumers. The TUI had custom JSON parsing
logic for commands, patches, network requests, and MCP calls, and the
app-server protocol was effectively just passing through an opaque blob.
Typing this at the protocol boundary makes the contract clearer.
Makes fuzzy file search use case-insensitive matching instead of
smart-case in `codex-file-search`. I find smart-case to be a poor user
experience -using the wrong case for a letter drops its match so
significantly, it often drops off the results list, effectively making a
search case-sensitive.
