• core tests: migrate more turns to permission profiles (#20013)

  ## Summary
  - Migrate another batch of direct `Op::UserTurn` test construction from
  legacy `SandboxPolicy` values to `PermissionProfile` inputs via
  `turn_permission_fields()`.
  - Replace a one-off read-only `SandboxPolicy` bridge in the macOS exec
  test with `PermissionProfile::read_only()`.
  - Reduce `SandboxPolicy` references in `codex-rs/core/tests` from 32
  files at the start of the cleanup stack to 27 files.
  
  ## Testing
  - `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`

• core tests: build user turns from permission profiles (#20011)

  ## Summary
  - Add `turn_permission_fields()` so tests that construct `Op::UserTurn`
  directly can provide a canonical `PermissionProfile` while still filling
  the required legacy `sandbox_policy` compatibility field.
  - Migrate direct user-turn construction in core integration tests from
  `SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`.
  - Continue reducing direct `SandboxPolicy` usage in
  `codex-rs/core/tests`, from 41 files after #20010 to 32 files in this
  PR.
  
  ## Testing
  - `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p core_test_support`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`

• core tests: submit turns with permission profiles (#20010)

  ## Summary
  
  - Add `PermissionProfile`-based turn submission helpers to
  `core_test_support`, while keeping the legacy `SandboxPolicy` helper for
  tests that intentionally exercise legacy fallback behavior.
  - Switch the default `TestCodex::submit_turn()` path to send a real
  `PermissionProfile` plus the required legacy compatibility projection in
  `Op::UserTurn`.
  - Migrate straightforward app/search/shell/truncation tests from
  `SandboxPolicy::{DangerFullAccess, ReadOnly}` to
  `PermissionProfile::{Disabled, read_only}`.
  - Add a TUI compatibility projection helper for legacy app-server fields
  so non-legacy writable roots are preserved instead of being downgraded
  to read-only.
  - Fix remote start/resume/fork sandbox-mode projection to classify any
  managed profile with writable roots as workspace-write, not only
  profiles that can write `cwd`.
  - Reduce `SandboxPolicy` references in `codex-rs/core/tests` from 47
  files to 41 files without changing production behavior.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui

• Discover hooks bundled with plugins (#19705)

  ## Why
  
  Plugins can bundle lifecycle hooks, but Codex previously only discovered
  hooks from user, project, and managed config layers. This adds the
  plugin discovery and runtime plumbing needed for plugin-bundled hooks
  while keeping execution behind the `plugin_hooks` feature flag.
  
  ## What
  
  - Discovers plugin hook sources from each plugin's default
  `hooks/hooks.json`.
  - Supports `plugin.json` manifest `hooks` entries as either relative
  paths or inline hook objects.
  - Plumbs discovered plugin hook sources through plugin loading into the
  hook runtime when `plugin_hooks` is enabled.
  - Marks plugin-originated hook runs as `HookSource::Plugin`.
  - Injects `PLUGIN_ROOT` and `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` into plugin hook
  command environments.
  - Updates generated schemas and hook source metadata for the plugin hook
  source.
  
  ## Stack
  
  1. This PR - openai/codex#19705
  2. openai/codex#19778
  3. openai/codex#19840
  4. openai/codex#19882
  
  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  - Core logic is in `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader.rs` and
  `codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
  - Moved existing / adding new tests to
  `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader_tests.rs` hence the large diff there
  - Otherwise mostly plumbing and minor schema updates
  
  ### Core Changes
  
  The `codex-rs/core` changes are limited to wiring plugin hook support
  into existing core flows:
  
  - `core/src/session/session.rs` conditionally pulls effective plugin
  hook sources and plugin hook load warnings from `PluginsManager` when
  `plugin_hooks` is enabled, then passes them into `HooksConfig`.
  - `core/src/hook_runtime.rs` adds the `plugin` metric tag for
  `HookSource::Plugin`.
  - `core/config.schema.json` picks up the new `plugin_hooks` feature
  flag, and `core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs` updates fixtures for the
  added plugin hook fields.

• [rollout-trace] Include x-request-id in rollout trace. (#20066)

  ## Why
  
  Rollout traces need an identifier that can be used to correlate a Codex
  inference with upstream Responses API, proxy, and engine logs. The
  reduced trace model already exposed `upstream_request_id`, but it was
  being populated from the Responses API `response.id`. That value is
  useful for `previous_response_id` chaining, but it is not the transport
  request id that upstream systems key on.
  
  This PR separates those concepts so trace consumers can reliably answer
  both questions:
  
  - which Responses API response did this inference produce?
  - which upstream request handled it?
  
  ## Structure
  
  The change keeps the upstream request id at the same lifecycle level as
  the provider stream:
  
  - `codex-api` captures the `x-request-id` HTTP response header when the
  SSE stream is created and exposes it on `ResponseStream`. Fixture and
  websocket streams set the field to `None` because they do not have that
  HTTP response header.
  - `codex-core` carries that stream-level id into `InferenceTraceAttempt`
  when recording terminal stream outcomes. Completed, failed, cancelled,
  dropped-stream, and pre-response error paths all record the id when it
  is available.
  - `rollout-trace` now records both identifiers in raw terminal inference
  events and response payloads: `response_id` for the Responses API
  `response.id`, and `upstream_request_id` for `x-request-id`.
  - The reducer stores both fields on `InferenceCall`. It also uses
  `response_id` for `previous_response_id` conversation linking, which
  removes the old accidental dependency on the misnamed
  `upstream_request_id` field.
  - Terminal inference reduction now consumes the full terminal payload
  (`InferenceCompleted`, `InferenceFailed`, or `InferenceCancelled`) in
  one place. That keeps status, partial payloads, response ids, and
  upstream request ids consistent across success, failure, cancellation,
  and late stream-mapper events.
  
  ## Why This Shape
  
  `x-request-id` is a property of the HTTP/provider response envelope, not
  an SSE event. Capturing it once in `codex-api` and plumbing it through
  terminal trace recording avoids trying to infer the value from stream
  contents, and it preserves the id even when the stream fails or is
  cancelled after only partial output.
  
  Keeping `response_id` separate from `upstream_request_id` also makes the
  reduced trace model less surprising: `response_id` remains the
  conversation-continuation id, while `upstream_request_id` is the
  operational correlation id for upstream debugging.
  
  ## Validation
  
  The PR updates trace and reducer coverage for:
  
  - reading `x-request-id` from SSE response headers;
  - storing the true upstream request id on completed inference calls;
  - preserving upstream request ids for cancelled and late-cancelled
  inference streams;
  - keeping `previous_response_id` reconstruction tied to `response_id`
  rather than transport request ids.

• Make MultiAgentV2 wait minimum configurable (#20052)

  ## Why
  
  MultiAgentV2 `wait_agent` currently clamps short waits to a fixed 10
  second minimum. That default is still useful for preventing tight
  polling loops, but it is too rigid for environments that need faster
  mailbox wake-up checks or a larger minimum to discourage frequent
  polling.
  
  This PR makes the minimum wait timeout configurable from the existing
  MultiAgentV2 feature config section, so operators can tune the behavior
  without changing the legacy multi-agent tool surface.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `features.multi_agent_v2.min_wait_timeout_ms`.
  - Defaulted the new setting to the existing 10 second floor.
  - Validated the configured value as `1..=3600000`, matching the existing
  one hour maximum wait bound.
  - Applied the configured minimum to MultiAgentV2 `wait_agent` runtime
  clamping.
  - Plumbed the configured minimum into the `wait_agent` tool schema,
  including the effective default when the minimum is above the normal 30
  second default.
  - Regenerated `core/config.schema.json`.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-features`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tools`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core --lib multi_agent_v2`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`

• [codex] Add token usage to turn tracing spans (#19432)

  ## Why
  
  Slow Codex turns are easier to debug when token usage is visible in the
  trace itself, without joining against separate analytics. This adds
  token usage to existing turn-handling spans for regular user turns only.
  
  [Example
  turn](https://openai.datadoghq.com/apm/trace/9d353efa2cb5de1f4c5b93dc33c3df04?colorBy=service&graphType=flamegraph&shouldShowLegend=true&sort=time&spanID=3555541504891512675&spanViewType=metadata&traceQuery=)

  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ab7bb187-e7fc-41f0-a366-6c44610b2b2c"
  />
  
  ## What Changed
  
  Added response-level token fields on completed handle_responses spans:
  
  gen_ai.usage.input_tokens
  gen_ai.usage.cache_read.input_tokens
  gen_ai.usage.output_tokens
  codex.usage.reasoning_output_tokens
  codex.usage.total_tokens
  Added aggregate token fields on regular turn spans:
  
  codex.turn.token_usage.*
  Added an explicit regular-turn opt-in via
  SessionTask::records_turn_token_usage_on_span() so this is not coupled
  to span-name strings.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-otel`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  turn_and_completed_response_spans_record_token_usage`
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
  - `just fix -p codex-otel`
  - Manual local Electron/app-server smoke test: regular user turn emits
  the new span fields
  
  Known status: `cargo test -p codex-core` was attempted and failed in
  unrelated existing areas: config approvals, request-permissions,
  git-info ordering, and subagent metadata persistence.

• permissions: add built-in default profiles (#19900)

  ## Why
  
  The migration away from `SandboxPolicy` needs new configs to start from
  permissions profiles instead of deriving profiles from legacy sandbox
  modes. Existing users can have empty `config.toml` files, and we should
  not rewrite user-owned config files that may live in shared
  repositories.
  
  This PR introduces built-in profile names so an empty config can resolve
  to a canonical `PermissionProfile`, while explicit named `[permissions]`
  profiles still behave predictably.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds built-in `default_permissions` profile names:
    - `:read-only` maps to `PermissionProfile::read_only()`.
  - `:workspace` maps to the workspace-write profile, including
  project-root metadata carveouts.
  - `:danger-no-sandbox` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
  the distinction between no sandbox and a broad managed sandbox.
  - Reserves the `:` prefix for built-in profiles so user-defined
  `[permissions]` profiles cannot collide with future built-ins.
  - Allows `default_permissions` to reference a built-in profile without
  requiring a `[permissions]` table.
  - Makes an otherwise empty config choose a built-in profile by
  trust/platform context: trusted or untrusted project roots use
  `:workspace` when the platform supports that sandbox, while roots
  without a trust decision use `:read-only`.
  - Keeps legacy `sandbox_mode` configs on the legacy path, and still
  rejects user-defined `[permissions]` profiles that omit
  `default_permissions` so we do not silently guess among custom profiles.
  - Preserves compatibility behavior for implicit defaults: bare
  `network.enabled = true` allows runtime network without starting the
  managed proxy, explicit profile proxy policy still starts the proxy, and
  implicit workspace/add-dir roots keep legacy metadata carveouts.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core builtin --lib`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core profile_network_proxy_config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  implicit_builtin_workspace_profile_preserves_add_dir_metadata_carveouts`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  permissions_profiles_network_enabled_allows_runtime_network_without_proxy`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  permissions_profiles_proxy_policy_starts_managed_network_proxy`
  
  ## Documentation
  
  Public Codex config docs should mention these built-in names when the
  `[permissions]` config format is ready to document as stable.

• Clarify network approval auto-review prompts (#19907)

  ## Why
  
  Network access approval prompts were showing the generic retry reason,
  which made auto-review focus on the blocked connection instead of the
  command that caused it. This makes network approvals easier to assess by
  telling the reviewer to evaluate whether the triggering command was
  authorised by the user and within policy, and to treat the network call
  as acceptable when it is a reasonable consequence of that command.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Split guardian approval request prompt rendering so `NetworkAccess`
  has a dedicated branch.
  - For network requests, show `Network approval context` and `Network
  access JSON` instead of `Retry reason` / `Planned action JSON`.
  - Added regression coverage for the network approval prompt wording and
  for omitting retry reason in this case.
  
  ## Verification

• Record MCP result telemetry on mcp.tools.call spans (#19509)

  ## Why
  - Without change: MCP tool call spans include request-side details such
  as server, tool, call ID, connector, session, and turn.
  - Issue: Some useful telemetry is only known by the MCP server after it
  handles the tool call, such as target identity or whether the call
  triggered a user-facing flow.
  
  ## What Changed
  - With change: Codex reads allowlisted telemetry from
  `_meta["codex/telemetry"]["span"]` and records it on the
  `mcp.tools.call` span.
  - Adds span fields for `codex.mcp.target.id` and
  `codex.mcp.user_flow.triggered`, with strict type checks and bounded
  target ID length.

• Add turn start timestamp to turn metadata (#19473)

  ## Why
  - Without change: MCP tool calls receive
  `_meta["x-codex-turn-metadata"]` with `session_id` and `turn_id`.
  - Issue: MCP servers may want the turn start timestamp to measure
  internal latency relative to turn start.
  
  ## What Changed
  - With change: turn metadata now includes `turn_started_at_unix_ms`,
  which is propagated to MCP tool calls in
  `_meta["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`.

• Terminate stdio MCP servers on shutdown to avoid process leaks (#19753)

  ## Why
  
  Several bug reports describe thread shutdown (including subagent
  threads) leaving stdio MCP server processes behind. These reports all
  point at the same lifecycle gap: Codex launches stdio MCP servers, but
  the session-level shutdown path does not explicitly close MCP clients or
  terminate the server process tree.
  
  Fixes #12491
  Fixes #12976
  Fixes #18881
  Fixes #19469
  
  ## History
  
  This is best understood as a regression/coverage gap in MCP session
  lifecycle management, not as stdio MCP cleanup being absent all along.
  #10710 added process-group cleanup for stdio MCP servers, but that
  cleanup only runs when the `RmcpClient`/transport is dropped. The older
  reports (#12491 and #12976) came after that cleanup existed, which
  suggests the remaining problem was that some higher-level shutdown paths
  kept the MCP manager alive or replaced it without explicitly draining
  clients. The newer reports (#18881 and #19469) exposed the same family
  around manager replacement and shutdown.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added an explicit stdio MCP process handle in `codex-rmcp-client` so
  local MCP servers terminate their process group and executor-backed MCP
  servers call the executor process terminator.
  - Added `RmcpClient::shutdown()` and manager-level MCP shutdown draining
  so session shutdown, channel-close fallback, MCP refresh, and connector
  probing stop owned MCP clients.
  - Added regression coverage that starts a stdio MCP server, begins an
  in-flight blocking tool call, shuts down the client, and asserts the
  server process exits.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client`
  - `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
  - `just fix -p codex-rmcp-client`
  - `just fix -p codex-mcp`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
  
  - Manual before/after validation with a temporary repro script:
  - Pre-fix binary from `HEAD^` (`fed0a8f4fa`): reproduced the leak with
  surviving MCP server and child PIDs, `survivors=[77583, 77592]`,
  `leaked=true`.
  - Post-fix binary from this branch (`67e318148b`): verified both MCP
  processes were gone after interrupting `codex exec`, `survivors=[]`,
  `leaked=false`.

• feat(tui): add configurable keymap support (#18593)

  ## Why
  
  The TUI currently handles keyboard shortcuts as hard-coded event matches
  spread across app, composer, pager, list, approval, and navigation code.
  That makes shortcuts hard to customize, makes displayed hints easy to
  drift from actual behavior, and makes future keymap work riskier because
  there is no central action inventory.
  
  This PR adds the foundation for configurable, action-based keymaps
  without adding the interactive remapping UI yet. Onboarding
  intentionally stays on fixed startup shortcuts because users cannot
  reasonably configure keymaps before completing onboarding.
  
  This is PR1 in the keymap stack:
  
  - PR1: #18593: configurable keymap foundation
  - PR2: #18594: `/keymap` picker and guided remapping UI
  - PR3: #18595: Vim composer mode and the remap option
  
  ## Design Notes
  
  The new model resolves named actions into concrete runtime bindings once
  from config, then passes those bindings to the UI surfaces that handle
  input or render shortcut hints.
  
  The main concepts are:
  
  - **Context**: a scope where an action is active, such as `global`,
  `chat`, `composer`, `editor`, `pager`, `list`, or `approval`.
  - **Action**: a named operation inside a context, such as
  `global.open_transcript`, `composer.submit`, or `pager.close`.
  - **Binding**: one or more single-key shortcuts assigned to an action,
  written as config strings such as `ctrl-t`, `alt-backspace`, or
  `page-down`. Multi-step sequences such as `ctrl-x ctrl-s`, `g g`, or
  leader-key flows are not part of this PR.
  - **Resolution order**: context-specific config wins first, supported
  global fallbacks come next, and built-in defaults fill in anything
  unset.
  - **Explicit unbinding**: an empty array removes an action binding in
  that scope and does not fall through to a fallback binding.
  - **Conflict validation**: a resolved keymap rejects duplicate active
  bindings inside the same scope so one keypress cannot dispatch two
  actions.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `TuiKeymap` config support under `[tui.keymap]`, including typed
  contexts/actions, key alias normalization, generated schema coverage,
  and user-facing config errors.
  - Added `RuntimeKeymap` resolution in `codex-rs/tui/src/keymap.rs`,
  including fallback precedence, built-in defaults, explicit unbinding,
  and per-context conflict validation.
  - Rewired existing TUI handlers to consume resolved keymap actions
  instead of directly matching hard-coded keys in each component.
  - Updated key hint rendering and footer/pager/list surfaces so displayed
  shortcuts follow the resolved keymap.
  - Kept onboarding shortcuts fixed in
  `codex-rs/tui/src/onboarding/keys.rs` instead of exposing them through
  `[tui.keymap]`.
  
  ## Validation
  
  The branch includes focused coverage for config parsing, key
  normalization, runtime fallback resolution, explicit unbinding,
  duplicate-key conflict validation, default keymap consistency,
  onboarding startup key behavior, and UI hint snapshots affected by
  resolved key bindings.

• feat: skip memory startup when Codex rate limits are low (#19990)

  ## Why
  
  Memory startup runs in the background after an eligible turn, but it can
  consume Codex backend quota at exactly the wrong time: when the user is
  already near a rate-limit boundary. This PR adds a guard so the memory
  pipeline backs off when the Codex rate-limit snapshot says the remaining
  budget is too low.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `memories.min_rate_limit_remaining_percent` with a default of
  `25`, clamped to `0..=100`, and regenerated `core/config.schema.json`.
  - Added `codex-rs/memories/write/src/guard.rs`, which fetches Codex
  backend rate limits before memory startup and skips phase 1 / phase 2
  when the Codex limit is reached or either tracked window is above the
  configured usage ceiling.
  - Keeps startup best-effort: non-Codex auth or rate-limit fetch/client
  failures preserve the existing memory startup behavior.
  - Records a `codex.memory.startup` counter with
  `status=skipped_rate_limit` when startup is skipped.
  - Added config parsing/clamping coverage and guard unit tests.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added `codex-rs/memories/write/src/guard_tests.rs` for threshold,
  primary/secondary window, and reached-limit behavior.
  - Added config tests for TOML parsing and clamping.

• feat: trigger memories from user turns with cooldown (#19970)

  ## Why
  
  Memory startup was tied to thread lifecycle events such as create, load,
  and fork. That can run memory work before a thread receives real user
  input, and it makes startup cost scale with thread management instead of
  actual turns. Moving the trigger to `thread/sendInput` keeps memory
  startup aligned with the first real user turn and lets it use the
  current thread config at turn time.
  
  The idea is to prevent ghost cost due to pre-warm triggered by the app
  
  Turn-based startup can also make global phase-2 consolidation easier to
  request repeatedly, so this adds a success cooldown and tightens the
  default startup scan window.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Start `codex_memories_write::start_memories_startup_task` after a
  non-empty `thread/sendInput` turn is submitted, instead of from thread
  create/load/fork paths:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d4a6885b7829e2fd2ec7a09355e4f75ebe1d1fe3/codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs#L6477-L6487
  - Expose `CodexThread::config()` so app-server can pass the live config
  into memory startup at turn time.

• Stabilize memory Phase 2 input ordering (#19967)

  ## Why
  
  Phase 2 still needs to choose the most relevant stage-1 memory outputs
  by usage and recency, but exposing that ranking as the rendered
  `raw_memories.md` order creates unnecessary large diff. Usage-count or
  timestamp changes can reshuffle otherwise unchanged memories, making the
  workspace diff noisy and giving the consolidation prompt a misleading
  recency signal from file position.
  This fix will reduce token consumption
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Keep the existing top-N Phase 2 selection ranking by `usage_count`,
  `last_usage`, `source_updated_at`, and `thread_id`.
  - Return the selected rows in stable ascending `thread_id` order before
  syncing Phase 2 filesystem inputs.
  - Update the memory README, raw memories header, and consolidation
  prompt so they describe the stable order and tell the prompt to use
  metadata and workspace diffs instead of file order as the recency
  signal.
  - Adjust the memory runtime tests to use deterministic thread IDs and
  assert the stable return order separately from the ranked selection
  semantics.
  
  ## Test Coverage
  
  - Existing memory runtime tests in
  `codex-rs/state/src/runtime/memories.rs` now cover the stable returned
  ordering for Phase 2 inputs.

• Add MultiAgentV2 root and subagent context hints (#19805)

  ## Why
  
  MultiAgentV2 sessions need startup guidance that matches the role of the
  thread that is actually being created. Root agents and subagents have
  different responsibilities, and forked subagents can inherit parent
  rollout history. If the parent hint is carried into the child context,
  the child can see stale or conflicting developer guidance before its own
  session-specific context is added.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `features.multi_agent_v2.root_agent_usage_hint_text` and
  `features.multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text` config fields,
  including schema/config parsing support.
  - Injected the matching root or subagent hint into the initial context
  as its own developer message when `multi_agent_v2` is enabled.
  - Filtered configured MultiAgentV2 usage-hint developer messages out of
  forked parent history so a child thread receives fresh guidance for its
  own session source/config.
  - Added targeted coverage for config parsing, initial-context rendering,
  feature-config deserialization, and forked-history filtering.
  
  ## Context examples
  
  With this config:
  
  ```toml
  [features.multi_agent_v2]
  enabled = true
  root_agent_usage_hint_text = "Root guidance."
  subagent_usage_hint_text = "Subagent guidance."
  ```
  
  A root thread initial context renders the root hint as a standalone
  developer message:
  
  ```text
  [developer]
  <existing developer context, when present>
  
  [developer]
  Root guidance.
  ```
  
  A subagent thread initial context renders the subagent hint instead:
  
  ```text
  [developer]
  <existing developer context, when present>
  
  [developer]
  Subagent guidance.
  ```
  
  When a subagent forks parent history, any parent developer message whose
  text exactly matches the configured MultiAgentV2 root or subagent hint
  is omitted from the forked history before the child receives its fresh
  subagent hint.

• permissions: derive snapshot sandbox projections (#19775)

  ## Why
  
  `ThreadConfigSnapshot` is used by app-server and thread metadata code as
  a stable view of active runtime settings. Keeping both `sandbox_policy`
  and `permission_profile` in the snapshot duplicates permission state and
  makes it possible for the legacy projection to drift from the canonical
  profile.
  
  The legacy `sandbox` value is still needed at app-server compatibility
  boundaries, so this PR derives it on demand from the snapshot profile
  and cwd instead of storing it.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes `ThreadConfigSnapshot.sandbox_policy`.
  - Adds `ThreadConfigSnapshot::sandbox_policy()` as a compatibility
  projection from `permission_profile` plus `cwd`.
  - Updates app-server response/metadata code and tests to call the
  projection only where legacy fields still exist.
  - Keeps snapshot construction profile-only so split filesystem rules,
  disabled enforcement, and external enforcement remain represented by the
  canonical profile.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  thread_response_permission_profile_preserves_enforcement --lib`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core

• permissions: make SessionConfigured profile-only (#19774)

  ## Why
  
  `SessionConfiguredEvent` is the internal event that tells clients what
  permissions are active for a session. Emitting both `sandbox_policy` and
  `permission_profile` leaves two possible authorities and forces every
  consumer to decide which one to honor. At this point in the migration,
  the profile is expressive enough to represent managed, disabled, and
  external sandbox enforcement, so the internal event can be profile-only.
  
  The wire compatibility concern is older serialized events or rollout
  data that only contain `sandbox_policy`; those still need to
  deserialize.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes `sandbox_policy` from `SessionConfiguredEvent` and makes
  `permission_profile` required.
  - Adds custom deserialization so old payloads with only `sandbox_policy`
  are upgraded to a cwd-anchored `PermissionProfile`.
  - Updates core event emission and TUI session handling to sync
  permissions from the profile directly.
  - Updates app-server response construction to derive the legacy
  `sandbox` response field from the active thread snapshot instead of from
  `SessionConfiguredEvent`.
  - Updates yolo-mode display logic to treat both
  `PermissionProfile::Disabled` and managed unrestricted filesystem plus
  enabled network as full-access, while still preserving the distinction
  between no sandbox and external sandboxing.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol session_configured_event --lib`

• Avoid persisting ShutdownComplete after thread shutdown (#19630)

  ## Why
  
  Fixes #19475.
  
  `codex exec` can finish successfully and then emit an `ERROR` on stderr:
  
  ```text
  failed to record rollout items: thread <id> not found
  ```
  
  That happens because shutdown closes the live thread writer before
  emitting `ShutdownComplete`. The terminal event was still using the
  normal `send_event_raw` path, so it tried to append rollout items
  through a recorder that had already been removed. The answer is correct,
  but wrappers that treat stderr as failure can retry completed exec runs.
  
  This looks like a likely recent regression from
  [#18882](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18882), which routed live
  thread writes through `ThreadStore` and added the shutdown-time live
  writer close. I have not bisected this, so the PR treats #18882 as the
  likely source based on the affected shutdown code path rather than a
  proven first-bad commit.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  `ShutdownComplete` now bypasses rollout persistence after thread
  shutdown and is delivered directly to clients. The shutdown path still
  records the protocol event in the rollout trace before delivery,
  preserving trace visibility without attempting a post-shutdown
  thread-store append.
  
  The change also adds a regression test with the in-memory thread store
  to assert that shutdown creates and shuts down the live thread without
  appending another item after shutdown.

• refactor: load agent identity runtime eagerly (#19763)

  ## Summary
  
  AgentIdentity auth previously registered the process task lazily behind
  a `OnceCell`. That meant the auth object could be constructed before its
  runtime task binding was known.
  
  This PR makes AgentIdentity auth load the runtime task at auth load time
  and stores the resulting process task id directly on the auth object.
  The model-provider call path can then read a concrete task id instead of
  handling a missing lazy value.
  
  ## Stack
  
  1. [refactor: make auth loading
  async](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19762) (merged)
  2. **This PR:** [refactor: load AgentIdentity runtime
  eagerly](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19763)
  3. [fix: configure AgentIdentity AuthAPI base
  URL](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19904)
  4. [feat: verify AgentIdentity JWTs with
  JWKS](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19764)
  
  ## Important call sites
  
  | Area | Change |
  | --- | --- |
  | `AgentIdentityAuth::load` | Registers the process task during auth
  loading and stores `process_task_id`. |
  | `CodexAuth::from_agent_identity_jwt` | Awaits AgentIdentity auth
  loading. |
  | model-provider auth | Reads a concrete `process_task_id` instead of an
  optional lazy value. |
  | AgentIdentity auth tests | Mock task registration now covers eager
  runtime allocation. |
  
  ## Design decisions
  
  AgentIdentity auth now treats task registration as part of constructing
  a usable auth object. That matches how callers use the value: once auth
  is present, the model-provider path expects the task-scoped assertion
  data to be ready.
  
  ## Testing
  
  Tests: targeted Rust auth test compilation, formatter, scoped Clippy
  fix, and Bazel lock check.

• Remove ghost snapshots (#19481)

  ## Summary
  - Remove `ghost_snapshot` / `GhostCommit` from the Responses API surface
  and generated SDK/schema artifacts.
  - Keep legacy config loading compatible, but make undo a no-op that
  reports the feature is unavailable.
  - Clean up core history, compaction, telemetry, rollout, and tests to
  stop carrying ghost snapshot items.
  
  ## Testing
  - Unit tests passed for `codex-protocol`, `codex-core` targeted undo and
  compaction flows, `codex-rollout`, and `codex-app-server-protocol`.
  - Regenerated config and app-server schemas plus Python SDK artifacts
  and verified they match the checked-in outputs.

• Stabilize plugin MCP fixture tests (#19452)

  ## Why
  
  Recent `main` CI had repeated flakes in the plugin fixture tests:
  
  - `codex-core::all
  suite::plugins::explicit_plugin_mentions_inject_plugin_guidance` failed
  in runs
  [24909500958](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24909500958),
  [24908076251](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24908076251),
  [24906197645](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24906197645),
  and
  [24898949647](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24898949647).
  - `codex-core::all suite::plugins::plugin_mcp_tools_are_listed` failed
  in runs
  [24909500958](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24909500958),
  [24908076251](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24908076251),
  and
  [24898949647](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24898949647).
  
  The failures were in the same plugin/MCP fixture family: assertions
  expected sample plugin guidance or tool inventory, but the test could
  observe the session before the sample MCP server had finished startup.
  
  ## Root Cause
  
  `explicit_plugin_mentions_inject_plugin_guidance` submitted the user
  turn immediately after constructing the session. MCP startup is
  asynchronous, so on a slower or busier CI runner the prompt could be
  built before the sample plugin MCP server had reported its tools. That
  made the test depend on scheduler timing rather than the fixture being
  ready.
  
  `plugin_mcp_tools_are_listed` already needed the same readiness
  condition, but its wait logic was local to that test.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added a shared `wait_for_sample_mcp_ready` helper for the plugin
  fixture tests.
  - Wait for `McpStartupComplete` before submitting the explicit plugin
  mention turn.
  - Reuse the same readiness helper in the MCP tool-listing test.
  
  ## Why This Should Be Reliable
  
  The tests now wait for the explicit readiness signal from the sample MCP
  server before asserting guidance or tools derived from that server. This
  removes the startup race while still exercising the real fixture path,
  so the assertions should only run after the plugin inventory is
  deterministic.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core --test all plugins::`
  - GitHub CI for this PR is passing.

• permissions: derive config defaults as profiles (#19772)

  ## Why
  
  This continues the permissions migration by making legacy config default
  resolution produce the canonical `PermissionProfile` first. The legacy
  `SandboxPolicy` projection should stay available at compatibility
  boundaries, but config loading should not create a legacy policy just to
  immediately convert it back into a profile.
  
  Specifically, when `default_permissions` is not specified in
  `config.toml`, instead of creating a `SandboxPolicy` in
  `codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` and then trying to derive a
  `PermissionProfile` from it, we use `derive_permission_profile()` to
  create a more faithful `PermissionProfile` using the values of
  `ConfigToml` directly.
  
  This also keeps the existing behavior of `sandbox_workspace_write` and
  extra writable roots after #19841 replaced `:cwd` with `:project_roots`.
  Legacy workspace-write defaults are represented as symbolic
  `:project_roots` write access plus symbolic project-root metadata
  carveouts. Extra absolute writable roots are still added directly and
  continue to get concrete metadata protections for paths that exist under
  those roots.
  
  The platform sandboxes differ when a symbolic project-root subpath does
  not exist yet.
  
  * **Seatbelt** can encode literal/subpath exclusions directly, so macOS
  emits project-root metadata subpath policies even if `.git`, `.agents`,
  or `.codex` do not exist.
  * **bwrap** has to materialize bind-mount targets. Binding `/dev/null`
  to a missing `.git` can create a host-visible placeholder that changes
  Git repo discovery. Binding missing `.agents` would not affect Git
  discovery, but it would still create a host-visible project metadata
  placeholder from an automatic compatibility carveout. Linux therefore
  skips only missing automatic `.git` and `.agents` read-only metadata
  masks; missing `.codex` remains protected so first-time project config
  creation goes through the protected-path approval flow. User-authored
  `read` and `none` subpath rules keep normal bwrap behavior, and `none`
  can still mask the first missing component to prevent creation under
  writable roots.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds profile-native helpers for legacy workspace-write semantics,
  including `PermissionProfile::workspace_write_with()`,
  `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::workspace_write()`, and
  `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::with_additional_legacy_workspace_writable_roots()`.
  - Makes `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::workspace_write()` the single legacy
  workspace-write constructor so both `from_legacy_sandbox_policy()` and
  `From<&SandboxPolicy>` include the project-root metadata carveouts.
  - Removes the no-carveout `legacy_workspace_write_base_policy()` path
  and the `prune_read_entries_under_writable_roots()` cleanup that was
  only needed by that split construction.
  - Adds `ConfigToml::derive_permission_profile()` for legacy sandbox-mode
  fallback resolution; named `default_permissions` profiles continue
  through the permissions profile pipeline instead of being reconstructed
  from `sandbox_mode`.
  - Updates `Config::load()` to start from the derived profile, validate
  that it still has a legacy compatibility projection, and apply
  additional writable roots directly to managed workspace-write filesystem
  policies.
  - Updates Linux bwrap argument construction so missing automatic
  `.git`/`.agents` symbolic project-root read-only carveouts are skipped
  before emitting bind args; missing `.codex`, user-authored `read`/`none`
  subpath rules, and existing missing writable-root behavior are
  preserved.
  - Adds coverage that legacy workspace-write config produces symbolic
  project-root metadata carveouts, extra legacy workspace writable roots
  still protect existing metadata paths such as `.git`, and bwrap skips
  missing `.git`/`.agents` project-root carveouts while preserving missing
  `.codex` and user-authored missing subpath rules.

• Show action required in terminal title (#18372)

  Implements #18162
  
  This updates the TUI terminal title to show an explicit action-required
  state when Codex is blocked on user approval or input. The terminal
  title now uses the activity title item to cover both active work and
  blocked-on-user states, while still accepting the legacy spinner config
  value.
  
  Changes
  - Rename the terminal title item from `spinner` to `activity` while
  preserving legacy config compatibility
  - Show `[ ! ] Action Required `while approval or input overlays are
  active, with a blinking `[ . ]` alternate state
  - Suppress the normal working spinner while Codex is blocked on user
  action
  - Add targeted coverage for action-required title behavior and legacy
  title-item parsing
  
  Testing
  - Trigger an approval or input modal and confirm the tab title
  alternates between `[ ! ] Action Required` and `[ . ] Action Required`
  - Disable the activity title item and confirm the action-required title
  does not appear
  - Resolve the prompt and confirm the title returns to the normal
  spinning/idel state

• permissions: remove cwd special path (#19841)

  ## Why
  
  The experimental `PermissionProfile` API had both `:cwd` and
  `:project_roots` special filesystem paths, which made the permission
  root ambiguous. This PR removes the unstable `current_working_directory`
  special path before the permissions API is stabilized, so callers use
  `:project_roots` for symbolic project-root access.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Removes `FileSystemSpecialPath::CurrentWorkingDirectory` from protocol
  and app-server protocol models, plus regenerated app-server
  JSON/TypeScript schemas.
  - Replaces internal `:cwd` permission entries with `:project_roots`
  entries.
  - Keeps the existing cwd-update behavior for legacy-shaped
  workspace-write profiles, while removing the deleted
  `CurrentWorkingDirectory` case from that compatibility path.
  - Keeps `PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` as the reusable symbolic
  workspace-write helper, with docs noting that `:project_roots` entries
  resolve at enforcement time.
  - Updates app-server docs/examples and approval UI labeling to stop
  advertising `:cwd` as a permission token.
  
  ## Compatibility
  
  Persisted rollout items may contain the old
  `{"kind":"current_working_directory"}` tag from earlier experimental
  `permissionProfile` snapshots. This PR keeps that tag as a
  deserialize-only alias for `ProjectRoots { subpath: None }`, while
  continuing to serialize only the new `project_roots` tag.
  
  ## Follow-up
  
  This PR intentionally does not introduce an explicit project-root set on
  `SessionConfiguration` or runtime sandbox resolution. Today, the
  resolver still uses the active cwd as the single implicit project root.
  A follow-up should model project roots separately from tool cwd so
  `:project_roots` entries can resolve against the configured project
  roots, and resolve to no entries when there are no project roots.

• Cap original-detail image token estimates (#19865)

  Clamp original-detail image patch estimates to the current 10k patch
  budget so large images cannot inflate local context accounting without
  bound. Add regression coverage for an over-budget image.
  
  Fixes openai/codex#19806.

• fix: filter dynamic deferred tools from model_visible_specs (#19771)

  fixes #19486
  
  ### Problem
  Right now dynamic deferred tools are filtered at normal-turn prompt
  building time, rather than upstream while building the `ToolRouter`
  itself. This causes issues because dynamic deferred tools are then
  wrongly included in the router's `model_visible_specs`, which is what
  the compaction request-building flow relies on.
  
  ### Fix
  Move the dynamic deferred tool filtering to `ToolRouter` creation time
  to solve this problem for every request that relies on `ToolRouter` for
  `model_visible_specs`, which solves the issue generically.
  
  ### Tests
  Added unit + integration tests to ensure dynamic deferred tools are
  omitted from `model_visible_specs` and compaction request respectively.
  
  Tested against live `/compact` endpoint; raw deferred dynamic tools
  without `tool_search` returned `400` (current bug), while the filtered
  payload (this fix) returns `200`.

• refactor: make auth loading async (#19762)

  ## Summary
  
  Auth loading used to expose synchronous construction helpers in several
  places even though some auth sources now need async work. This PR makes
  the auth-loading surface async and updates the callers to await it.
  
  This is intentionally only plumbing. It does not change how
  AgentIdentity tokens are decoded, how task runtime ids are allocated, or
  how JWT signatures are verified.
  
  ## Stack
  
  1. **This PR:** [refactor: make auth loading
  async](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19762)
  2. [refactor: load AgentIdentity runtime
  eagerly](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19763)
  3. [feat: verify AgentIdentity JWTs with
  JWKS](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19764)
  
  ## Important call sites
  
  | Area | Change |
  | --- | --- |
  | `codex-login` auth loading | `CodexAuth` and `AuthManager`
  construction paths now await auth loading. |
  | app-server startup | Auth manager construction is awaited during
  initialization. |
  | CLI/TUI/exec/MCP/chatgpt callers | Existing auth-loading calls now
  await the same behavior. |
  | cloud requirements storage loader | The loader becomes async so it can
  share the same auth construction path. |
  | auth tests | Tests that load auth now run in async contexts. |
  
  ## Testing
  
  Tests: targeted Rust auth test compilation, formatter, scoped Clippy
  fix, and Bazel lock check.

• Avoid rewriting Phase 2 selection on clean workspace (#19812)

  ## Why
  
  Phase 2 can now claim the global consolidation lock on startup even when
  the git-backed memory workspace is already clean. The clean-workspace
  path still finalized through the normal Phase 2 success path, which
  clears and re-marks `selected_for_phase2` rows. That made no-op startups
  perform avoidable writes to `stage1_outputs`, creating unnecessary DB
  I/O and contention when no memory files changed.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added a preserving-selection Phase 2 finalizer in `codex-state` that
  only marks the global job row as succeeded.
  - Kept the existing `mark_global_phase2_job_succeeded` behavior for real
  consolidation runs, where the selected Phase 2 snapshot must be
  rewritten.
  - Switched the `succeeded_no_workspace_changes` branch in
  `core/src/memories/phase2.rs` to use the preserving-selection finalizer.
  - Added a regression test that installs a SQLite trigger on
  `stage1_outputs` and verifies the clean finalizer performs zero updates
  there.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-state`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core memories::tests::phase2`

• feat: use git-backed workspace diffs for memory consolidation (#18982)

  ## Why
  
  This PR make the `morpheus` agent (memory phase 2) use a git diff to
  start it's consolidation. The workflow is the following:
  1. The agent acquire a lock
  2. If `.codex/memories` does not exist or is not a git root, initialize
  everything (and make a first empty commit)
  3. Update `raw_memories.md` and `rollout_summaries/` as before.
  Basically we select max N phase 1 memories based on a given policy
  4. We use git (`gix`) to get a diff between the current state of
  `.codex/memories` and the last commit.
  5. Dump the diff in `phase2_workspace_diff.md`
  6. Spawn `morpheus` and point it to `phase2_workspace_diff.md`
  7. Wait for `morpheus` to be done
  8. Re-create a new `.git` and make one single commit on it. We do this
  because we don't want to preserve history through `.git` and this is
  cheap anyway
  9. We release the lock
  On top of this, we keep the retry policies etc etc
  
  The goals of this new workflow are:
  * Better support of any memory extensions such as `chronicle`
  * Allow the user to manually edit memories and this will be considered
  by the phase 2 agent
   
  As a follow-up we will need to add support for user's edition while
  `morpheus` is running
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added memory workspace helpers that prepare the git baseline, compute
  the diff, write `phase2_workspace_diff.md`, and reset the baseline after
  successful consolidation.
  - Updated Phase 2 to sync current inputs into `raw_memories.md` and
  `rollout_summaries/`, prune old extension resources, skip clean
  workspaces, and run the consolidation subagent only when the workspace
  has changes.
  - Tightened Phase 2 job ownership around long-running consolidation with
  heartbeats and an ownership check before resetting the baseline.
  - Simplified the prompt and state APIs so DB watermarks are bookkeeping,
  while workspace dirtiness decides whether consolidation work exists.
  - Updated the memory pipeline README and tests for workspace diffs,
  extension-resource cleanup, pollution-driven forgetting, selection
  ranking, and baseline persistence.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added/updated coverage in `core/src/memories/tests.rs`,
  `core/src/memories/workspace_tests.rs`, `state/src/runtime/memories.rs`,
  and `core/tests/suite/memories.rs`.

• multi_agent_v2: move thread cap into feature config (#19792)

  ## Why
  
  `features.multi_agent_v2.max_concurrent_threads_per_session` is meant to
  be the MultiAgentV2-specific session thread cap: it counts the root
  thread and all open subagent threads. The previous implementation kept
  this surface tied to `agents.max_threads`, which made it a global
  subagent-only cap and allowed the legacy setting to coexist with
  MultiAgentV2.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `max_concurrent_threads_per_session` to
  `[features.multi_agent_v2]` with default `4`.
  - Removed the `[agents] max_concurrent_threads_per_session` alias to
  `agents.max_threads`.
  - When MultiAgentV2 is enabled, reject `agents.max_threads` and derive
  the existing internal subagent slot limit as
  `max_concurrent_threads_per_session - 1`.
  - Regenerated `core/config.schema.json` and added coverage for the new
  config semantics.
  
  ## Result
  ```

• permissions: derive legacy exec policies at boundaries (#19737)

  ## Why
  
  After config and requirements store canonical profiles, exec requests
  should not cache a derived `SandboxPolicy`. The cached legacy value can
  drift from the richer profile state, and most execution paths already
  have the filesystem and network runtime policies they need.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes `sandbox_policy` from `codex_sandboxing::SandboxExecRequest`
  and `codex_core::sandboxing::ExecRequest`.
  - Adds an on-demand `ExecRequest::compatibility_sandbox_policy()` helper
  for the Windows and legacy call sites that still need a `SandboxPolicy`
  projection.
  - Updates Windows filesystem override setup and unified exec policy
  serialization to derive that compatibility policy at the boundary.
  - Updates Unix escalation reruns and direct shell requests to
  reconstruct exec requests from `PermissionProfile` plus runtime
  filesystem/network policy, without carrying a cached legacy policy.
  - Adjusts sandboxing manager tests to assert the effective profile
  rather than the removed legacy field.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing -p
  codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
  - `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing manager`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core

• Add /auto-review-denials retry approval flow (#19058)

  ## Why
  
  Auto-review can deny an action that the user later decides they want to
  retry. Today there is no TUI surface for selecting a recent denial and
  sending explicit approval context back into the session, so users have
  to restate intent manually and the retry can be reviewed without the
  original denied action context.
  
  This adds a narrow TUI-driven path for approving a recent denied action
  while still keeping the retry inside the normal auto-review flow.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `/auto-review-denials` to open a picker of recent denied
  auto-review actions.
  - Added a small in-memory TUI store for the 10 most recent denied
  auto-review events.
  - Selecting a denial sends the structured denied event back through the
  existing core/app-server op path.
  - Core now injects a developer message containing the approved action
  JSON rather than the full assessment event.
  - Auto-review transcript collection now preserves this specific approval
  developer message so follow-up review sessions can see the user approval
  context.
  - Added TUI snapshot/unit coverage for the picker and approval dispatch
  path.
  - Added core coverage for retaining the approval developer message in
  the auto-review transcript.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  collect_guardian_transcript_entries_keeps_manual_approval_developer_message`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui auto_review_denials`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui
  approving_recent_denial_emits_structured_core_op_once`
  
  ## Notes
  
  This intentionally keeps retries going through auto-review. The approval
  signal is context for the exact previously denied action, not a blanket
  bypass for similar future actions.

• permissions: centralize legacy sandbox projection (#19734)

  ## Why
  
  The remaining migration work still needs `SandboxPolicy` at a few
  compatibility boundaries, but those projections should come from one
  canonical path. Keeping ad hoc legacy projections scattered through
  app-server, CLI, and config code makes it easy for behavior to drift as
  `PermissionProfile` gains fidelity that the legacy enum cannot
  represent.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds `Permissions::legacy_sandbox_policy(cwd)` and
  `Config::legacy_sandbox_policy()` as the compatibility projection from
  the canonical `PermissionProfile`.
  - Adds `Permissions::can_set_legacy_sandbox_policy()` so legacy inputs
  are checked after they are converted into profile semantics.
  - Updates app-server command handling, Windows sandbox setup, session
  configuration, and sandbox summaries to use the centralized projection
  helper.
  - Leaves `SandboxPolicy` in place only for boundary inputs/outputs that
  still speak the legacy abstraction.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing -p
  codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui
  permissions_selection_history_snapshot_full_access_to_default --

  - `cargo test -p codex-tui

  - `bazel test //codex-rs/tui:tui-unit-tests-bin
  --test_arg=permissions_selection_history_snapshot_full_access_to_default

• inline hostname resolution for remote sandbox config (#19739)

  # Why
  
  Requirements support host-specific
  `remote_sandbox_config.hostname_patterns`, but config loading previously
  resolved and passed the system hostname through every config-loading
  path even when no requirements layer used `remote_sandbox_config`. On
  machines where hostname lookup is slow, startup and app-server config
  reads paid for a feature that was not active.
  
  We only need the hostname when a requirements layer actually declares
  `remote_sandbox_config`, so this moves hostname resolution to the single
  requirements merge point and keeps all other config callers unaware of
  hostname matching.
  
  # What
  
  - Removed the eager `host_name` plumbing from
  `load_config_layers_state`, `load_requirements_toml`, `ConfigBuilder`,
  app-server `ConfigManager`, network proxy loading, and related call
  sites.
  - Resolve the hostname inside
  `merge_requirements_with_remote_sandbox_config` only when the incoming
  requirements contain `remote_sandbox_config`.
