## This PR
The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR
#26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable
analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata
refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR adds the
account-mutating validation workflow separately so its cleanup and
recovery guarantees can be reviewed without the final analytics behavior
change.
- Add a manually invoked remote plugin install/uninstall smoke workflow.
- Require explicit account-mutation confirmation and an initially
uninstalled plugin.
- Validate the current `codex_plugin_installed` contract, where
`plugin_id` is the backend ID.
- Restore and verify the original uninstalled state, with a dedicated
recovery command.
This baseline intentionally does not require `codex_plugin_uninstalled`,
because production does not emit that event yet. The final PR will
update this smoke to require local `plugin_id`, `remote_plugin_id`, and
uninstall emission. Review this PR as the net diff against #27099.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-app-server-test-client` (3 focused
capture/validation tests passed)
- The live workflow was previously exercised on the green combined
reference branch, and the original uninstalled account state was
restored.
- CI is green across the required platform matrix.

## This PR
The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR
#26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable
analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata
refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR establishes a
non-mutating end-to-end plugin smoke workflow before any analytics
identity semantics change.
- Add `plugin-analytics-smoke` to the existing app-server test client.
- Exercise plugin disable, enable, and use through production app-server
RPC paths.
- Isolate config writes in a temporary file and use a loopback Responses
API server.
- Capture analytics without sending them to the production analytics
backend.
- Validate the current local `plugin_id`, names, capability metadata,
thread, turn, and model fields.
This is intentionally a baseline smoke workflow. It does not assert
`remote_plugin_id`; the final PR will update it when that field exists.
Review this PR as the net diff against #27093.
## Testing
- The test-client target compiles successfully.
- The combined reference branch exercised the manual smoke against the
live remote plugin service.
- CI is green across the required platform matrix.

## Summary
- always rejoin an in-memory running thread on `thread/resume`, even
when overrides are present
- reject `thread/resume` when `history` is provided for a running thread
- reject `thread/resume` when `path` mismatches the running thread
rollout path
- warn (but do not fail) on override mismatches for running threads
- add more `thread_resume` integration tests and fixes; including
restart-based resume-with-overrides coverage
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all thread_resume`
- manual test with app-server-test-client
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11755
- manual test both stdio and websocket in app
For app-server development it's been helpful to be able to trigger some
test flows end-to-end and print the JSON-RPC messages sent between
client and server.
