• [codex] Refactor app-server dispatch result flow (#20897)

  ## Why
  
  App-server request handling had response sending spread across many
  individual handlers, which made it harder to see which requests return
  payloads, which methods send their own delayed response, and which
  branches emit notifications after a response.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Centralized normal `ClientResponsePayload` sending in the dispatch
  path.
  - Kept explicit-response methods explicit where they need custom
  ordering or delayed delivery.
  - Removed forward-only handler wrappers and immediate `async { ...
  }.await` bodies where they were not needed.
  - Moved branch-specific post-response notifications into the branches
  that own the response ordering.
  - Replaced unreachable delegated request-family error arms with explicit
  `unreachable!` cases.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_goal`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`

• Make thread store process-scoped (#19474)

  - Build one app-server process ThreadStore from startup config and share
  it with ThreadManager and CodexMessageProcessor.
  - Remove per-thread/fork store reconstruction so effective thread config
  cannot switch the persistence backend.
  - Add params to ThreadStore create/resume for specifying thread
  metadata, since otherwise the metadata from store creation would be used
  (incorrectly).

• [app-server] type client response payloads (#20050)

  ## Why
  
  `pr17088` adds typed server-originated request/response plumbing, but
  successful client responses are still erased into bare JSON-RPC `result`
  values before app-server can make any typed decision about them.
  
  This precursor PR keeps successful client responses typed until the
  outgoing response seam. It is intentionally limited to
  protocol/app-server plumbing so the analytics behavior change can review
  separately on top.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add `ClientResponsePayload` as the pre-serialization client response
  body type.
  - Route app-server successful response paths through the typed payload
  seam while preserving existing handler-local analytics behavior.
  - Keep `InterruptConversation` JSON-RPC-only because it has no
  `ClientResponse` variant.
  - Move the new payload conversion tests into a dedicated protocol test
  module.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

• [codex-analytics] ingest server requests and responses (#17088)

  ## Why
  
  Codex analytics needs a typed seam for app-server-originated
  request/response traffic so future tool-approval analytics can consume
  those facts without adding bespoke callsite tracking each time. Server
  responses arrive as JSON-RPC `id + result` payloads, so analytics has to
  reconstruct the matching typed response from the original typed request
  while that request context still exists in app-server.
  
  This also puts analytics on the app-server outbound path, which needs to
  avoid keeping the runtime alive during shutdown. The final ownership fix
  keeps the normal strong auth-manager retention in analytics and makes
  the external-auth refresh bridge hold a weak back-reference to
  `OutgoingMessageSender`, breaking the runtime cycle at the bridge
  boundary instead of exposing retention policy through the analytics
  client API.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds typed `ServerRequest` and `ServerResponse` analytics facts, plus
  `AnalyticsEventsClient::track_server_request` and
  `track_server_response`.
  - Renames the existing client-side facts to `ClientRequest` and
  `ClientResponse` so reducers can distinguish client-to-server traffic
  from server-to-client traffic.
  - Adds `ServerRequest::response_from_result`, allowing a stored typed
  request to decode the matching typed server response from a raw JSON-RPC
  result payload.
  - Threads `AnalyticsEventsClient` through `OutgoingMessageSender` and
  records targeted server requests, replayed targeted requests, and
  matching targeted responses with the responding connection id needed for
  correlation.
  - Intentionally leaves broadcast server requests/responses out of
  analytics for now because the current model is per connection, while
  broadcasts fan one logical request out across multiple connections.
  - Breaks the app-server shutdown cycle by storing
  `Weak<OutgoingMessageSender>` in `ExternalAuthRefreshBridge` and
  upgrading it only when an external-auth refresh is actually requested.
  - Keeps reducer ingestion of the new server-side facts as no-ops for
  now; this PR is plumbing for later tool-approval analytics work.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-analytics`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server outgoing_message::tests::`
  - Covers typed-response reconstruction plus the targeted, replayed,
  broadcast-exclusion, and response-attribution analytics paths.
  
  ## Follow-up
  
  This PR intentionally stops at ingestion plumbing, so `ServerRequest`
  and `ServerResponse` facts are still reducer no-ops. Once a follow-up PR
  adds real downstream analytics output for those facts:
  
  - replace the temporary pre-reducer observation seam with reducer tests
  for the emitted event shape;
  - add end-to-end coverage in `app-server/tests/suite/v2/analytics.rs`
  for the real app-server workflow and captured analytics payload;
  - remove the temporary sender-level observer tests added here in favor
  of the real-output coverage above.

• feat: expose provider capability bounds to app server clients (#20049)

  follow up of #19442. The app server now exposes provider-derived bounds
  through a new v2 `modelProvider/read` method. The response reports the
  configured provider map key as `modelProvider` and returns the effective
  capability booleans so clients can align their UI with the same
  provider-owned limits used by core.

• Support detect and import MCP, Subagents, hooks, commands from external (#19949)

  ## Why
  This PR expands the migration path so Codex can detect and import MCP
  server config, hooks, commands, and subagents configs in a Codex-native
  shape.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added a `codex-external-agent-migration` crate that owns conversion
  logic for external-agent MCP servers, hooks, commands, and subagents.
  - Extended the app-server external-agent config detection/import API
  with migration item types for MCP server config, hooks, commands, and
  subagents.
  
  ## Migration strategy
  
  The migration is intentionally conservative: Codex only imports
  external-agent config that can be represented safely in Codex today.
  Unsupported or ambiguous config is skipped instead of being partially
  translated into behavior that may not match the source system.
  
  - **MCP servers**: import supported stdio and HTTP MCP server
  definitions into `mcp_servers`. Disabled servers and servers filtered
  out by source `enabledMcpjsonServers` / `disabledMcpjsonServers` are
  skipped. Project-scoped MCP entries from `.claude.json` are included
  when they match the repo path.
  - **Hooks**: import only supported command hooks into
  `.codex/hooks.json`. Unsupported hook features such as conditional
  groups, async handlers, prompt/http hooks, or unknown fields are
  skipped. Referenced hook scripts are copied into `.codex/hooks/`,
  preserving any existing target scripts.
  - **Commands**: import supported external commands as Codex skills under
  `.agents/skills/source-command-*`. Commands that rely on source runtime
  expansion such as `$ARGUMENTS`, `$1`, `@file` references, shell
  interpolation, or colliding generated names are skipped.
  - **Subagents**: import valid subagent Markdown files into
  `.codex/agents/*.toml` when they have the minimum Codex agent fields.
  Source model names are not migrated, so imported agents keep the user’s
  Codex default model; compatible reasoning effort and sandbox mode are
  migrated when present.
  - **Skills and project guidance**: copy missing skill directories into
  `.agents/skills` and migrate `CLAUDE.md` guidance into `AGENTS.md`,
  rewriting source-agent terminology to Codex terminology where
  appropriate.
  - **Detection details**: detected migration items include lightweight
  details for UI preview, such as MCP server names, hook event names,
  generated command skill names, and subagent names. Import still
  recomputes from disk instead of trusting details as the source of truth.
  
  - Adds focused coverage for the new migration behavior and app-server
  import flow.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-external-agent-migration`
  - `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config`
  - `just bazel-lock-check`

• app-server: run initialized rpcs with keyed serialization (#17373)

  ## Why
  
  Initialized app-server RPCs no longer need to bottleneck behind one
  request processor path. Running them concurrently improves
  responsiveness, but several request families still mutate shared state
  or depend on ordered side effects. Those stateful families need an
  auditable serialization contract so concurrency does not reorder thread,
  config, auth, command, watcher, MCP, or similar state transitions.
  
  This PR keeps that boundary explicit: stateful work is serialized by the
  smallest useful key, while intentionally read-only or externally
  concurrent work remains unkeyed. In particular, `thread/list` and
  `thread/turns/list` explicitly have no serialization because they
  primarily read append-only rollout storage and should continue to be
  served concurrently.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds `ClientRequest::serialization_scope()` in `app-server-protocol`
  and requires every client request definition to declare its
  serialization behavior.
  - Introduces keyed request scopes for thread, thread path, command exec
  process, fuzzy search session, fs watch, MCP OAuth, and global state
  buckets such as config, account auth, memory, and device keys.
  - Routes initialized app-server RPCs through per-key FIFO serialization
  while allowing unkeyed initialized requests to run concurrently.
  - Cancels in-flight initialized RPC work when the connection disconnects
  or the app-server exits so spawned request tasks do not outlive their
  session.
  - Adds focused coverage for representative keyed and unkeyed
  serialization scopes, including explicitly concurrent
  `thread/turns/list` behavior.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Added protocol tests for representative keyed serialization scopes and
  intentionally unkeyed request families.
  - Added app-server request serialization tests covering per-key FIFO
  behavior, concurrent unkeyed execution, disconnect shutdown, and config
  read-after-write ordering.
  - Local focused protocol validation after the latest rebase is currently
  blocked by packageproxy failing to resolve locked `rustls-webpki
  0.103.13`; CI is expected to provide the full validation signal.

• External agent session support (#19895)

  ## Summary
  
  This extends external agent detection/import beyond config artifacts so
  Codex can detect recent sessions files from the external agent home and
  import them into Codex rollout history.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added a focused `external_agent_sessions` module for:
    - session discovery
    - source-record parsing
    - rollout construction
    - import ledger tracking
  - Wired session detection/import into the app-server external agent
  config API.
  - Added compaction handling so large imported sessions can be resumed
  safely before the first follow-up turn.
  
  ## Testing
  
  Added coverage for:
  - recent-session detection
  - custom-title handling
  - recency filtering
  - dedupe and re-detect-after-source-change behavior
  - visible imported turn construction
  - backward-compatible import payload deserialization
  - end-to-end RPC import flow
  - rejection of undetected session paths
  - repeat-import behavior
  - large-session compaction before first follow-up
  
  Ran:
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config_import_ --test
  all`

• Lift app-server JSON-RPC error handling to request boundary (#19484)

  ## Why
  
  App-server request handling had a lot of repeated JSON-RPC error
  construction and one-off `send_error`/`return` branches. This made small
  handlers noisy and pushed error response details into leaf code that
  otherwise only needed to validate input or call the underlying API.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added shared JSON-RPC error constructors in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/error_code.rs`.
  - Lifted straightforward request result emission into
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` so response/error
  dispatch happens at the request boundary.
  - Reused the result helpers across command exec, config, filesystem,
  device-key, external-agent config, fs-watch, and outgoing-message paths.
  - Removed leaf wrapper handlers where the method body was only
  forwarding to a response helper.
  - Returned request validation errors upward in the simple cases instead
  of sending an error locally and immediately returning.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib outgoing_message::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib in_process::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::fs`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::config_rpc`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::external_agent_config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::initialize`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`
  - `git diff --check`
  
  Note: full `cargo test -p codex-app-server` was attempted and stopped in
  `message_processor::tracing_tests::turn_start_jsonrpc_span_parents_core_turn_spans`
  with a stack overflow after unrelated tests had already passed.

• test: harden app-server integration tests (#19683)

  ## Why
  
  Windows Bazel runs in the permissions stack exposed that app-server
  integration tests were launching normal plugin startup warmups in every
  subprocess. Those warmups can call
  `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/plugins/featured` when a test is not
  specifically exercising plugin startup, which adds slow background work,
  noisy stderr, and dependence on external network state. The relevant
  startup/featured-plugin behavior was introduced across #15042 and
  #15264.
  
  A few app-server tests also had long optional waits or unbounded cleanup
  paths, making failures expensive to diagnose and contributing to slow
  Windows shards. One external-agent config test from #18246 used a
  GitHub-style marketplace source, which was enough to exercise the
  pending remote-import path but also meant the background completion task
  could attempt a real clone.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds explicit `AppServerRuntimeOptions` / `PluginStartupTasks`
  plumbing and a hidden debug-only
  `--disable-plugin-startup-tasks-for-tests` app-server flag, so
  integration tests can suppress startup plugin warmups without adding a
  production env-var gate.
  - Has the app-server test harness pass that hidden flag by default,
  while opting plugin-startup coverage back in for tests that
  intentionally exercise startup sync and featured-plugin warmup behavior.
  - Lowers normal app-server subprocess logging from `info`/`debug` to
  `warn` to avoid multi-megabyte stderr output in Bazel logs.
  - Prevents the external-agent config test from attempting a real
  marketplace clone by using an invalid non-local source while still
  exercising the pending-import completion path.
  - Bounds optional filesystem/realtime waits and fake WebSocket
  test-server shutdown so failures produce targeted timeouts instead of
  hanging a shard.
  - Fixes the Unix script-resolution test in `rmcp-client` to exercise
  PATH resolution directly and include the actual spawn error in failures.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo clippy -p codex-app-server --tests -- -D warnings`
  - `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client
  program_resolver::tests::test_unix_executes_script_without_extension`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
  external_agent_config_import_sends_completion_notification_after_pending_plugins_finish
  -- --nocapture`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
  plugin_list_uses_warmed_featured_plugin_ids_cache_on_first_request --
  --nocapture`
  - Windows Local Bazel passed with this test-hardening bundle before it
  was extracted from #19606.

• app-server: persist device key bindings in sqlite (#19206)

  ## Why
  
  Device-key providers should only own platform key material. The
  account/client binding used to authorize a signing payload is app-server
  state, and keeping that state in provider-specific metadata makes the
  same check harder to audit and harder to share across platform
  implementations.
  
  Persisting the binding in the shared state database gives the device-key
  crate a platform-neutral source of truth before it asks a provider to
  sign. It also lets app-server move potentially blocking key operations
  off the main message processor path, which matters once providers may
  wait for OS authentication prompts.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add a `device_key_bindings` state migration plus `StateRuntime`
  helpers keyed by `key_id`.
  - Add an async `DeviceKeyBindingStore` abstraction to `codex-device-key`
  and use it from `DeviceKeyStore::create` and `DeviceKeyStore::sign`.
  - Keep provider calls behind async store methods and run the synchronous
  provider work through `spawn_blocking`.
  - Wire app-server device-key RPC handling to the SQLite-backed binding
  store and spawn response/error delivery tasks for device-key requests.
  - Run the turn-start tracing test on the existing larger current-thread
  test harness after the larger async surface made the default test stack
  too small locally.

• refactor: route Codex auth through AuthProvider (#18811)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR moves Codex backend request authentication from direct
  bearer-token handling to `AuthProvider`.
  
  The new `codex-auth-provider` crate defines the shared request-auth
  trait. `CodexAuth::provider()` returns a provider that can apply all
  headers needed for the selected auth mode.
  
  This lets ChatGPT token auth and AgentIdentity auth share the same
  callsite path:
  - ChatGPT token auth applies bearer auth plus account/FedRAMP headers
  where needed.
  - AgentIdentity auth applies AgentAssertion plus account/FedRAMP headers
  where needed.
  
  Reference old stack: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
  
  ## Callsite Migration
  
  | Area | Change |
  | --- | --- |
  | backend-client | accepts an `AuthProvider` instead of a raw
  token/header |
  | chatgpt client/connectors | applies auth through
  `CodexAuth::provider()` |
  | cloud tasks | keeps Codex-backend gating, applies auth through
  provider |
  | cloud requirements | uses Codex-backend auth checks and provider
  headers |
  | app-server remote control | applies provider headers for backend calls
  |
  | MCP Apps/connectors | gates on `uses_codex_backend()` and keys caches
  from generic account getters |
  | model refresh | treats AgentIdentity as Codex-backend auth |
  | OpenAI file upload path | rejects non-Codex-backend auth before
  applying headers |
  | core client setup | keeps model-provider auth flow and allows
  AgentIdentity through provider-backed OpenAI auth |

• app-server: implement device key v2 methods (#18430)

  ## Why
  
  The device-key protocol needs an app-server implementation that keeps
  local key operations behind the same request-processing boundary as
  other v2 APIs.
  
  app-server owns request dispatch, transport policy, documentation, and
  JSON-RPC error shaping. `codex-device-key` owns key binding, validation,
  platform provider selection, and signing mechanics. Keeping the adapter
  thin makes the boundary easier to review and avoids moving local
  key-management details into thread orchestration code.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `DeviceKeyApi` as the app-server adapter around
  `DeviceKeyStore`.
  - Converted protocol protection policies, payload variants, algorithms,
  and protection classes to and from the device-key crate types.
  - Encoded SPKI public keys and DER signatures as base64 protocol fields.
  - Routed `device/key/create`, `device/key/public`, and `device/key/sign`
  through `MessageProcessor`.
  - Rejected remote transports before provider access while allowing local
  `stdio` and in-process callers to reach the device-key API.
  - Added stdio, in-process, and websocket tests for device-key validation
  and transport policy.
  - Documented the device-key methods in the app-server v2 method list.
  
  ## Test coverage
  
  - `device_key_create_rejects_empty_account_user_id`
  - `in_process_allows_device_key_requests_to_reach_device_key_api`
  - `device_key_methods_are_rejected_over_websocket`
  
  ## Stack
  
  This is PR 3 of 4 in the device-key app-server stack. It is stacked on
  #18429.

  ## Summary
  - Load app-server startup config through `ConfigManager` instead of
  direct `ConfigBuilder` calls.
  - Move `ConfigManager` constructor-owned state (`cli_overrides`, runtime
  feature map, cloud requirements loader) behind internal manager fields.
  - Pass `ConfigManager` into `MessageProcessor` directly instead of
  reconstructing it from raw args.
  
  ## Tests
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`

• Refactor app-server config loading into ConfigManager (#18442)

• Add session config loader interface (#18208)

  ## Why
  
  Cloud-hosted sessions need a way for the service that starts or manages
  a thread to provide session-owned config without treating all config as
  if it came from the same user/project/workspace TOML stack.
  
  The important boundary is ownership: some values should be controlled by
  the session/orchestrator, some by the authenticated user, and later some
  may come from the executor. The earlier broad config-store shape made
  that boundary too fuzzy and overlapped heavily with the existing
  filesystem-backed config loader. This PR starts with the smaller piece
  we need now: a typed session config loader that can feed the existing
  config layer stack while preserving the normal precedence and merge
  behavior.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `ThreadConfigLoader` and related typed payloads in
  `codex-config`.
  - `SessionThreadConfig` currently supports `model_provider`,
  `model_providers`, and feature flags.
  - `UserThreadConfig` is present as an ownership boundary, but does not
  yet add TOML-backed fields.
  - `NoopThreadConfigLoader` preserves existing behavior when no external
  loader is configured.
    - `StaticThreadConfigLoader` supports tests and simple callers.
  
  - Taught thread config sources to produce ordinary `ConfigLayerEntry`
  values so the existing `ConfigLayerStack` remains the place where
  precedence and merging happen.
  
  - Wired the loader through `ConfigBuilder`, the config loader, and
  app-server startup paths so app-server can provide session-owned config
  before deriving a thread config.
  
  - Added coverage for:
    - translating typed thread config into config layers,
  - inserting thread config layers into the stack at the right precedence,
  - applying session-provided model provider and feature settings when
  app-server derives config from thread params.
  
  ## Follow-Ups
  
  This intentionally stops short of adding the remote/service transport.
  The next pieces are expected to be:
  
  1. Define the proto/API shape for this interface.
  2. Add a client implementation that can source session config from the
  service side.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added unit coverage in `codex-config` for the loader and layer
  conversion.
  - Added `codex-core` config loader coverage for thread config layer
  precedence.
  - Added app-server coverage that verifies session thread config wins
  over request-provided config for model provider and feature settings.

• Sync local plugin imports, async remote imports, refresh caches after… (#18246)

  … import
  
  ## Why
  
  `externalAgentConfig/import` used to spawn plugin imports in the
  background and return immediately. That meant local marketplace imports
  could still be in flight when the caller refreshed plugin state, so
  newly imported plugins would not show up right away.
  
  This change makes local marketplace imports complete before the RPC
  returns, while keeping remote marketplace imports asynchronous so we do
  not block on remote fetches.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - split plugin migration details into local and remote marketplace
  imports based on the external config source
  - import local marketplaces synchronously during
  `externalAgentConfig/import`
  - return pending remote plugin imports to the app-server so it can
  finish them in the background
  - clear the plugin and skills caches before responding to plugin
  imports, and again after background remote imports complete, so the next
  `plugin/list` reloads fresh state
  - keep marketplace source parsing encapsulated behind
  `is_local_marketplace_source(...)` instead of re-exporting the internal
  enum
  - add core and app-server coverage for the synchronous local import path
  and the pending remote import path
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core` (currently fails an existing unrelated
  test:
  `config_loader::tests::cli_override_can_update_project_local_mcp_server_when_project_is_trusted`)
  - `cargo test` (currently fails existing `codex-app-server` integration
  tests in MCP/skills/thread-start areas, plus the unrelated `codex-core`
  failure above)

• [codex] Fix app-server initialized request analytics build (#17830)

  Problem: PR #17372 moved initialized request handling into
  `dispatch_initialized_client_request`, leaving analytics code that uses
  `connection_id` without a local binding and breaking `codex-app-server`
  builds.
  
  Solution: Restore the `connection_id` binding from
  `connection_request_id` before initialized request validation and
  analytics tracking.

• app-server: prepare to run initialized rpcs concurrently (#17372)

  ## Summary
  
  - Refactors `MessageProcessor` and per-connection session state so
  initialized service RPC handling can be moved into spawned tasks in a
  follow-up PR.
  - Shares the processor and initialized session data with
  `Arc`/`OnceLock` instead of mutable borrowed connection state.
  - Keeps initialized request handling synchronous in this PR; it does
  **not** call `tokio::spawn` for service RPCs yet.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server` *(fails on existing hardening gaps
  covered by #17375, #17376, and #17377; the pipelined config regression
  passed before the unrelated failures)*
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`

• [codex-analytics] add compaction analytics event (#17155)

  - event for compaction analytics
  - introduces thread-connection and thread metadata caches for data
  denormalization, expected to be useful for denormalization onto core
  emitted events in general
  - threads analytics event client into core (mirrors approved
  implementation in #16640)
  - denormalizes key thread metadata: thread_source, subagent_source,
  parent_thread_id, as well as app-server client and runtime metadata)
  - compaction strategy defaults to memento, forward compatible with
  expected prefill_compaction strategy

• remove temporary ownership re-exports (#16626)

  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.

• core: remove cross-crate re-exports from lib.rs (#16512)

  ## 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`.

• auth: let AuthManager own external bearer auth (#16287)

  ## Summary
  
  `AuthManager` and `UnauthorizedRecovery` already own token resolution
  and staged `401` recovery. The missing piece for provider auth was a
  bearer-only mode that still fit that design, instead of pushing a second
  auth abstraction into `codex-core`.
  
  This PR keeps the design centered on `AuthManager`: it teaches
  `codex-login` how to own external bearer auth directly so later provider
  work can keep calling `AuthManager.auth()` and `UnauthorizedRecovery`.
  
  ## Motivation
  
  This is the middle layer for #15189.
  
  The intended design is still:
  
  - `AuthManager` encapsulates token storage and refresh
  - `UnauthorizedRecovery` powers staged `401` recovery
  - all request tokens go through `AuthManager.auth()`
  
  This PR makes that possible for provider-backed bearer tokens by adding
  a bearer-only auth mode inside `AuthManager` instead of building
  parallel request-auth plumbing in `core`.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - move `ModelProviderAuthInfo` into `codex-protocol` so `core` and
  `login` share one config shape
  - add `login/src/auth/external_bearer.rs`, which runs the configured
  command, caches the bearer token in memory, and refreshes it after `401`
  - add `AuthManager::external_bearer_only(...)` for provider-scoped
  request paths that should use command-backed bearer auth without
  mutating the shared OpenAI auth manager
  - add `AuthManager::shared_with_external_chatgpt_auth_refresher(...)`
  and rename the other `AuthManager` helpers that only apply to external
  ChatGPT auth so the ChatGPT-only path is explicit at the call site
  - keep external ChatGPT refresh behavior unchanged while ensuring
  bearer-only external auth never persists to `auth.json`
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-login`
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol`

• auth: generalize external auth tokens for bearer-only sources (#16286)

  ## Summary
  
  `ExternalAuthRefresher` was still shaped around external ChatGPT auth:
  `ExternalAuthTokens` always implied ChatGPT account metadata even when a
  caller only needed a bearer token.
  
  This PR generalizes that contract so bearer-only sources are
  first-class, while keeping the existing ChatGPT paths strict anywhere we
  persist or rebuild ChatGPT auth state.
  
  ## Motivation
  
  This is the first step toward #15189.
  
  The follow-on provider-auth work needs one shared external-auth contract
  that can do both of these things:
  
  - resolve the current bearer token before a request is sent
  - return a refreshed bearer token after a `401`
  
  That should not require a second token result type just because there is
  no ChatGPT account metadata attached.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - change `ExternalAuthTokens` to carry `access_token` plus optional
  `ExternalAuthChatgptMetadata`
  - add helper constructors for bearer-only tokens and ChatGPT-backed
  tokens
  - add `ExternalAuthRefresher::resolve()` with a default no-op
  implementation so refreshers can optionally provide the current token
  before a request is sent
  - keep ChatGPT-only persistence strict by continuing to require ChatGPT
  metadata anywhere the login layer seeds or reloads ChatGPT auth state
  - update the app-server bridge to construct the new token shape for
  external ChatGPT auth refreshes
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-login`

• Remove the legacy TUI split (#15922)

  This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
  `tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
  directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
  the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
  doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
  
  Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
  two parts to reduce visible code churn.
