• Extract MCP into codex-mcp crate (#15919)

  - 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.

• core: support dynamic auth tokens for model providers (#16288)

  ## Summary
  
  Fixes #15189.
  
  Custom model providers that set `requires_openai_auth = false` could
  only use static credentials via `env_key` or
  `experimental_bearer_token`. That is not enough for providers that mint
  short-lived bearer tokens, because Codex had no way to run a command to
  obtain a bearer token, cache it briefly in memory, and retry with a
  refreshed token after a `401`.
  
  This PR adds that provider config and wires it through the existing auth
  design: request paths still go through `AuthManager.auth()` and
  `UnauthorizedRecovery`, with `core` only choosing when to use a
  provider-backed bearer-only `AuthManager`.
  
  ## Scope
  
  To keep this PR reviewable, `/models` only uses provider auth for the
  initial request in this change. It does **not** add a dedicated `401`
  retry path for `/models`; that can be follow-up work if we still need it
  after landing the main provider-token support.
  
  ## Example Usage
  
  ```toml
  model_provider = "corp-openai"
  
  [model_providers.corp-openai]
  name = "Corp OpenAI"
  base_url = "https://gateway.example.com/openai"
  requires_openai_auth = false
  
  [model_providers.corp-openai.auth]
  command = "gcloud"
  args = ["auth", "print-access-token"]
  timeout_ms = 5000
  refresh_interval_ms = 300000
  ```
  
  The command contract is intentionally small:
  
  - write the bearer token to `stdout`
  - exit `0`
  - any leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed before the token is used
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - add `model_providers.<id>.auth` to the config model and generated
  schema
  - validate that command-backed provider auth is mutually exclusive with
  `env_key`, `experimental_bearer_token`, and `requires_openai_auth`
  - build a bearer-only `AuthManager` for `ModelClient` and
  `ModelsManager` when a provider configures `auth`
  - let normal Responses requests and realtime websocket connects use the
  provider-backed bearer source through the same `AuthManager.auth()` path
  - allow `/models` online refresh for command-auth providers and attach
  the provider token to the initial `/models` request
  - keep `auth.cwd` available as an advanced escape hatch and include it
  in the generated config schema
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core provider_auth_command`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  refresh_available_models_uses_provider_auth_token`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  test_deserialize_provider_auth_config_defaults`
  
  ## Docs
  
  - `developers.openai.com/codex` should document the new
  `[model_providers.<id>.auth]` block and the token-command contract

• codex-tools: extract shared tool schema parsing (#15923)

  ## Why
  
  `parse_tool_input_schema` and the supporting `JsonSchema` model were
  living in `core/src/tools/spec.rs`, but they already serve callers
  outside `codex-core`.
  
  Keeping that shared schema parsing logic inside `codex-core` makes the
  crate boundary harder to reason about and works against the guidance in
  `AGENTS.md` to avoid growing `codex-core` when reusable code can live
  elsewhere.
  
  This change takes the first extraction step by moving the schema parsing
  primitive into its own crate while keeping the rest of the tool-spec
  assembly in `codex-core`.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - added a new `codex-tools` crate under `codex-rs/tools`
  - moved the shared tool input schema model and sanitizer/parser into
  `tools/src/json_schema.rs`
  - kept `tools/src/lib.rs` exports-only, with the module-level unit tests
  split into `json_schema_tests.rs`
  - updated `codex-core` to use `codex-tools::JsonSchema` and re-export
  `parse_tool_input_schema`
  - updated `codex-app-server` dynamic tool validation to depend on
  `codex-tools` directly instead of reaching through `codex-core`
  - wired the new crate into the Cargo workspace and Bazel build graph

• [codex] import token_data from codex-login directly (#15903)

  ## Why
  `token_data` is owned by `codex-login`, but `codex-core` was still
  re-exporting it. That let callers pull auth token types through
  `codex-core`, which keeps otherwise unrelated crates coupled to
  `codex-core` and makes `codex-core` more of a build-graph bottleneck.
  
  ## What changed
  - remove the `codex-core` re-export of `codex_login::token_data`
  - update the remaining `codex-core` internals that used
  `crate::token_data` to import `codex_login::token_data` directly
  - update downstream callers in `codex-rs/chatgpt`,
  `codex-rs/tui_app_server`, `codex-rs/app-server/tests/common`, and
  `codex-rs/core/tests` to import `codex_login::token_data` directly
  - add explicit `codex-login` workspace dependencies and refresh lock
  metadata for crates that now depend on it directly
  
  ## Validation
  - `cargo test -p codex-chatgpt --locked`
  - `just argument-comment-lint`
  - `just bazel-lock-update`
  - `just bazel-lock-check`
  
  ## Notes
  - attempted `cargo test -p codex-core --locked` and `cargo test -p
  codex-core auth_refresh --locked`, but both ran out of disk while
  linking `codex-core` test binaries in the local environment

  call sites to import the moved APIs directly
  
  ## Notes
  - no re-exports added
  - moved the seatbelt tests with the implementation so internal helpers

  - share the model-visible `<turn_aborted>` history marker between the
  live interrupt path and interrupted forks
  - update the small set of direct fork callsites to pass
  `ForkSnapshotMode::Committed`
  
  Note: this enables /btw to work similarly as Esc to interrupt (hopefully
  somewhat in distribution)

• feat(tui): restore composer history in app-server tui (#14945)

  ## Problem
  
  The app-server TUI (`tui_app_server`) lacked composer history support.
  Pressing Up/Down to recall previous prompts hit a stub that logged a
  warning and displayed "Not available in app-server TUI yet." New
  submissions were silently dropped from the shared history file, so
  nothing persisted for future sessions.
  
  ## Mental model
  
  Codex maintains a single, append-only history file
  (`$CODEX_HOME/history.jsonl`) shared across all TUI processes on the
  same machine. The legacy (in-process) TUI already reads/writes this file
  through `codex_core::message_history`. The app-server TUI delegates most
  operations to a separate process over RPC, but history is intentionally
  *not* an RPC concern — it's a client-local file.
  
  This PR makes the app-server TUI access the same history file directly,
  bypassing the app-server process entirely. The composer's Up/Down
  navigation and submit-time persistence now follow the same code paths as
  the legacy TUI, with the only difference being *where* the call is
  dispatched (locally in `App`, rather than inside `CodexThread`).
  
  The branch is rebuilt directly on top of `upstream/main`, so it keeps
  the
  existing app-server restore architecture intact.
  `AppServerStartedThread`
  still restores transcript history from the server `Thread` snapshot via
  `thread_snapshot_events`; this PR only adds composer-history support.
  
  ## Non-goals
  
  - Adding history support to the app-server protocol. History remains
  client-local.
  - Changing the on-disk format or location of `history.jsonl`.
  - Surfacing history I/O errors to the user (failures are logged and
  silently swallowed, matching the legacy TUI).
  
  ## Tradeoffs
  
  | Decision | Why | Risk |
  |----------|-----|------|
  | Widen `message_history` from `pub(crate)` to `pub` | Avoids
  duplicating file I/O logic; the module already has a clean, minimal API
  surface. | Other workspace crates can now call these functions — the
  contract is no longer crate-private. However, this is consistent with
  recent precedent: `590cfa617` exposed `mention_syntax` for TUI
  consumption, `752402c4f` exposed plugin APIs (`PluginsManager`), and
  `14fcb6645`/`edacbf7b6` widened internal core APIs for other crates.
  These were all narrow, intentional exposures of specific APIs — not
  broad "make internals public" moves. `1af2a37ad` even went the other
  direction, reducing broad re-exports to tighten boundaries. This change
  follows the same pattern: a small, deliberate API surface (3 functions)
  rather than a wholesale visibility change. |
  | Intercept `AddToHistory` / `GetHistoryEntryRequest` in `App` before
  RPC fallback | Keeps history ops out of the "unsupported op" error path
  without changing app-server protocol. | This now routes through a single
  `submit_thread_op` entry point, which is safer than the original
  duplicated dispatch. The remaining risk is organizational: future
  thread-op submission paths need to keep using that shared entry point. |
  | `session_configured_from_thread_response` is now `async` | Needs
  `await` on `history_metadata()` to populate real `history_log_id` /
  `history_entry_count`. | Adds an async file-stat + full-file newline
  scan to the session bootstrap path. The scan is bounded by
  `history.max_bytes` and matches the legacy TUI's cost profile, but
  startup latency still scales with file size. |
  
  ## Architecture

    (GetHistoryEntryResponse)
         │
         ▼
    ChatComposerHistory::on_entry_response()
  ```
  
  ## Observability
  
  - `tracing::warn` on `append_entry` failure (includes thread ID).
  - `tracing::warn` on `spawn_blocking` lookup join error.
  - `tracing::warn` from `message_history` internals on file-open, lock,
  or parse failures.
  
  ## Tests
  
  - `chat_composer_history::tests::navigation_with_async_fetch` — verifies
  that Up emits `Op::GetHistoryEntryRequest` (was: checked for stub error
  cell).
  - `app::tests::history_lookup_response_is_routed_to_requesting_thread` —
  verifies multi-thread composer recall routes the lookup result back to
  the originating thread.
  -
  `app_server_session::tests::resume_response_relies_on_snapshot_replay_not_initial_messages`
  — verifies app-server session restore still uses the upstream
  thread-snapshot path.
  -
  `app_server_session::tests::session_configured_populates_history_metadata`
  — verifies bootstrap sets nonzero `history_log_id` /
  `history_entry_count` from the shared local history file.

  />
  
  
  ###### Summary
  - Adds auth-env telemetry that records whether key auth-related env
  overrides were present on session start and request paths.
  - Threads those auth-env fields through `/responses`, websocket, and
  `/models` telemetry and feedback metadata.
  - Buckets custom provider `env_key` configuration to a safe
  `"configured"` value instead of emitting raw config text.
  - Keeps the slice observability-only: no raw token values or raw URLs
  are emitted.
  
  ###### Rationale (from spec findings)
  - 401 and auth-path debugging needs a way to distinguish env-driven auth
  paths from sessions with no auth env override.
  - Startup and model-refresh failures need the same auth-env diagnostics
  as normal request failures.
  - Feedback and Sentry tags need the same auth-env signal as OTel events
  so reports can be triaged consistently.
  - Custom provider config is user-controlled text, so the telemetry
  contract must stay presence-only / bucketed.
  
  ###### Scope
  - Adds a small `AuthEnvTelemetry` bundle for env presence collection and
  threads it through the main request/session telemetry paths.
  - Does not add endpoint/base-url/provider-header/geo routing attribution
  or broader telemetry API redesign.
  
  ###### Trade-offs
  - `provider_env_key_name` is bucketed to `"configured"` instead of
  preserving the literal configured env var name.
  - `/models` is included because startup/model-refresh auth failures need
  the same diagnostics, but broader parity work remains out of scope.
  - This slice keeps the existing telemetry APIs and layers auth-env
  fields onto them rather than redesigning the metadata model.
  
  ###### Client follow-up
  - Add the separate endpoint/base-url attribution slice if routing-source
  diagnosis is still needed.
  - Add provider-header or residency attribution only if auth-env presence
  proves insufficient in real reports.
  - Revisit whether any additional auth-related env inputs need safe
  bucketing after more 401 triage data.

• fix(core): prevent hanging turn/start due to websocket warming issues (#14838)

  ## Description
  
  This PR fixes a bad first-turn failure mode in app-server when the
  startup websocket prewarm hangs. Before this change, `initialize ->
  thread/start -> turn/start` could sit behind the prewarm for up to five
  minutes, so the client would not see `turn/started`, and even
  `turn/interrupt` would block because the turn had not actually started
  yet.
  
  Now, we:
  - set a (configurable) timeout of 15s for websocket startup time,
  exposed as `websocket_startup_timeout_ms` in config.toml
  - `turn/started` is sent immediately on `turn/start` even if the
  websocket is still connecting
  - `turn/interrupt` can be used to cancel a turn that is still waiting on
  the websocket warmup
  - the turn task will wait for the full 15s websocket warming timeout
  before falling back
  
  ## Why
  
  The old behavior made app-server feel stuck at exactly the moment the
  client expects turn lifecycle events to start flowing. That was
  especially painful for external clients, because from their point of
  view the server had accepted the request but then went silent for
  minutes.
  
  ## Configuring the websocket startup timeout
  Can set it in config.toml like this:
  ```
  [model_providers.openai]
  supports_websockets = true
  websocket_connect_timeout_ms = 15000
  ```

    />
  
    ###### Summary
    - Add client-visible 401 diagnostics for auth attachment, upstream auth classification, and 401 request id / cf-ray correlation.
    - Record unauthorized recovery mode, phase, outcome, and retry/follow-up status without changing auth behavior.
    - Surface the highest-signal auth and recovery fields on uploaded client bug reports so they are usable in Sentry.
    - Preserve original unauthorized evidence under `auth_401_*` while keeping follow-up result tags separate.
  
    ###### Rationale (from spec findings)
    - The dominant bucket needed proof of whether the client attached auth before send or upstream still classified the request as missing auth.
    - Client uploads needed to show whether unauthorized recovery ran and what the client tried next.
    - Request id and cf-ray needed to be preserved on the unauthorized response so server-side correlation is immediate.
    - The bug-report path needed the same auth evidence as the request telemetry path, otherwise the observability would not be operationally useful.
  
    ###### Scope
    - Add auth 401 and unauthorized-recovery observability in `codex-rs/core`, `codex-rs/codex-api`, and `codex-rs/otel`, including feedback-tag surfacing.
    - Keep auth semantics, refresh behavior, retry behavior, endpoint classification, and geo-denial follow-up work out of this PR.
  
    ###### Trade-offs
    - This exports only safe auth evidence: header presence/name, upstream auth classification, request ids, and recovery state. It does not export token values or raw upstream bodies.
    - This keeps websocket connection reuse as a transport clue because it can help distinguish stale reused sessions from fresh reconnects.
    - Misroute/base-url classification and geo-denial are intentionally deferred to a separate follow-up PR so this review stays focused on the dominant auth 401 bucket.
  
    ###### Client follow-up
    - PR 2 will add misroute/provider and geo-denial observability plus the matching feedback-tag surfacing.
    - A separate host/app-server PR should log auth-decision inputs so pre-send host auth state can be correlated with client request evidence.
    - `device_id` remains intentionally separate until there is a safe existing source on the feedback upload path.
  
    ###### Testing
    - `cargo test -p codex-core refresh_available_models_sorts_by_priority`
    - `cargo test -p codex-core emit_feedback_request_tags_`

• Add openai_base_url config override for built-in provider (#12031)

  We regularly get bug reports from users who mistakenly have the
  `OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable set. This PR deprecates this
  environment variable in favor of a top-level config key
  `openai_base_url` that is used for the same purpose. By making it a
  config key, it will be more visible to users. It will also participate
  in all of the infrastructure we've added for layered and managed
  configs.
  
  Summary
  - introduce the `openai_base_url` top-level config key, update
  schema/tests, and route the built-in openai provider through it while
  - fall back to deprecated `OPENAI_BASE_URL` env var but warn user of
  deprecation when no `openai_base_url` config key is present
  - update CLI, SDK, and TUI code to prefer the new config path (with a
  deprecated env-var fallback) and document the SDK behavior change

• Let models opt into original image detail (#14175)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR narrows original image detail handling to a single opt-in
  feature:
  
  - `image_detail_original` lets the model request `detail: "original"` on
  supported models
  - Omitting `detail` preserves the default resized behavior
  
  The model only sees `detail: "original"` guidance when the active model
  supports it:
  
  - JS REPL instructions include the guidance and examples only on
  supported models
  - `view_image` only exposes a `detail` parameter when the feature and
  model can use it
  
  The image detail API is intentionally narrow and consistent across both
  paths:
  
  - `view_image.detail` supports only `"original"`; otherwise omit the
  field
  - `codex.emitImage(..., detail)` supports only `"original"`; otherwise
  omit the field
  - Unsupported explicit values fail clearly at the API boundary instead
  of being silently reinterpreted
  - Unsupported explicit `detail: "original"` requests fall back to normal
  behavior when the feature is disabled or the model does not support
  original detail

  ## Summary
  - add ARC monitor support for MCP tool calls by serializing MCP approval
  requests into the ARC action shape and sending the relevant
  conversation/policy context to the `/api/codex/safety/arc` endpoint
  - route ARC outcomes back into MCP approval flow so `ask-user` falls
  back to a user prompt and `steer-model` blocks the tool call, with
  guardian/ARC tests covering the new request shape
  - update the TUI approval copy from “Approve Once” to “Allow” / “Allow
  for this session” and refresh the related
    snapshots

• Add guardian approval MVP (#13692)

  ## Summary
  - add the guardian reviewer flow for `on-request` approvals in command,
  patch, sandbox-retry, and managed-network approval paths
  - keep guardian behind `features.guardian_approval` instead of exposing
  a public `approval_policy = guardian` mode
  - route ordinary `OnRequest` approvals to the guardian subagent when the
  feature is enabled, without changing the public approval-mode surface
  
  ## Public model
  - public approval modes stay unchanged
  - guardian is enabled via `features.guardian_approval`
  - when that feature is on, `approval_policy = on-request` keeps the same
  approval boundaries but sends those approval requests to the guardian
  reviewer instead of the user
  - `/experimental` only persists the feature flag; it does not rewrite
  `approval_policy`
  - CLI and app-server no longer expose a separate `guardian` approval
  mode in this PR
  
  ## Guardian reviewer
  - the reviewer runs as a normal subagent and reuses the existing
  subagent/thread machinery
  - it is locked to a read-only sandbox and `approval_policy = never`
  - it does not inherit user/project exec-policy rules
  - it prefers `gpt-5.4` when the current provider exposes it, otherwise
  falls back to the parent turn's active model
  - it fail-closes on timeout, startup failure, malformed output, or any
  other review error
  - it currently auto-approves only when `risk_score < 80`
  
  ## Review context and policy
  - guardian mirrors `OnRequest` approval semantics rather than
  introducing a separate approval policy
  - explicit `require_escalated` requests follow the same approval surface
  as `OnRequest`; the difference is only who reviews them
  - managed-network allowlist misses that enter the approval flow are also
  reviewed by guardian
  - the review prompt includes bounded recent transcript history plus
  recent tool call/result evidence
  - transcript entries and planned-action strings are truncated with
  explicit `<guardian_truncated ... />` markers so large payloads stay
  bounded
  - apply-patch reviews include the full patch content (without
  duplicating the structured `changes` payload)
  - the guardian request layout is snapshot-tested using the same
  model-visible Responses request formatter used elsewhere in core
  
  ## Guardian network behavior
  - the guardian subagent inherits the parent session's managed-network
  allowlist when one exists, so it can use the same approved network
  surface while reviewing
  - exact session-scoped network approvals are copied into the guardian
  session with protocol/port scope preserved
  - those copied approvals are now seeded before the guardian's first turn
  is submitted, so inherited approvals are available during any immediate
  review-time checks
  
  ## Out of scope / follow-ups
  - the sandbox-permission validation split was pulled into a separate PR
  and is not part of this diff
  - a future follow-up can enable `serde_json` preserve-order in
  `codex-core` and then simplify the guardian action rendering further

• feat(otel, core): record turn TTFT and TTFM metrics in codex-core (#13630)

  ### Summary
  This adds turn-level latency metrics for the first model output and the
  first completed agent message.
  - `codex.turn.ttft.duration_ms` starts at turn start and records on the
  first output signal we see from the model. That includes normal
  assistant text, reasoning deltas, and non-text outputs like tool-call
  items.
  - `codex.turn.ttfm.duration_ms` also starts at turn start, but it
  records when the first agent message finishes streaming rather than when
  its first delta arrives.
  
  ### Implementation notes
  The timing is tracked in codex-core, not app-server, so the definition
  stays consistent across CLI, TUI, and app-server clients.
  
  I reused the existing turn lifecycle boundary that already drives
  `codex.turn.e2e_duration_ms`, stored the turn start timestamp in turn
  state, and record each metric once per turn.
  
  I also wired the new metric names into the OTEL runtime metrics summary
  so they show up in the same in-memory/debug snapshot path as the
  existing timing metrics.

• core: bundle settings diff updates into one dev/user envelope (#12417)

  ## Summary
  - bundle contextual prompt injection into at most one developer message
  plus one contextual user message in both:
    - per-turn settings updates
    - initial context insertion
  - preserve `<model_switch>` across compaction by rebuilding it through
  canonical initial-context injection, instead of relying on
  strip/reattach hacks
  - centralize contextual user fragment detection in one shared definition
  table and reuse it for parsing/compaction logic
  - keep `AGENTS.md` in its natural serialized format:
    - `# AGENTS.md instructions for {dirname}`
    - `<INSTRUCTIONS>...</INSTRUCTIONS>`
  - simplify related tests/helpers and accept the expected snapshot/layout
  updates from bundled multi-part messages
  
  ## Why
  The goal is to converge toward a simpler, more intentional prompt shape
  where contextual updates are consistently represented as one developer
  envelope plus one contextual user envelope, while keeping parsing and
  compaction behavior aligned with that representation.
  
  ## Notable details
  - the temporary `SettingsUpdateEnvelope` wrapper was removed; these
  paths now return `Vec<ResponseItem>` directly
  - local/remote compaction no longer rely on model-switch strip/restore
  helpers
  - contextual user detection is now driven by shared fragment definitions
  instead of ad hoc matcher assembly
  - AGENTS/user instructions are still the same logical context; only the
  synthetic `<user_instructions>` wrapper was replaced by the natural
  AGENTS text format

  ## Notes
  - I also ran several targeted `compact`, `compact_remote`,
  `prompt_caching`, `model_visible_layout`, and `event_mapping` tests
  while iterating on prompt-shape changes.
  - I have not claimed a clean full-workspace `cargo test` from this
  environment because local sandbox/resource conditions have previously
  produced unrelated failures in large workspace runs.

• feat: run zsh fork shell tool via shell-escalation (#12649)

  ## Why
  
  This PR switches the `shell_command` zsh-fork path over to
  `codex-shell-escalation` so the new shell tool can use the shared
  exec-wrapper/escalation protocol instead of the `zsh_exec_bridge`
  implementation that was introduced in
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052. `zsh_exec_bridge` relied on
  UNIX domain sockets, which is not as tamper-proof as the FD-based
  approach in `codex-shell-escalation`.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added a Unix zsh-fork runtime adapter in `core`
  (`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`) that:
  - runs zsh-fork commands through
  `codex_shell_escalation::run_escalate_server`
    - bridges exec-policy / approval decisions into `ShellActionProvider`
  - executes escalated commands via a `ShellCommandExecutor` that calls
  `process_exec_tool_call`
  - Updated `ShellRuntime` / `ShellCommandHandler` / tool spec wiring to
  select a `shell_command` backend (`classic` vs `zsh-fork`) while leaving
  the generic `shell` tool path unchanged.
  - Removed the `zsh_exec_bridge`-based session service and deleted
  `core/src/zsh_exec_bridge/mod.rs`.
  - Moved exec-wrapper entrypoint dispatch to `arg0` by handling the
  `codex-execve-wrapper` arg0 alias there, and removed the old
  `codex_core::maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode()` hooks from `cli` and
  `app-server` mains.
  - Added the needed `codex-shell-escalation` dependencies for `core` and
  `arg0`.
  
  ## Tests
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  shell_zsh_fork_prefers_shell_command_over_unified_exec`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server turn_start_shell_zsh_fork --
  --nocapture`
  - verifies zsh-fork command execution and approval flows through the new
  backend
  - includes subcommand approve/decline coverage using the shared zsh
  DotSlash fixture in `app-server/tests/suite/zsh`
  - To test manually, I added the following to `~/.codex/config.toml`:
  
  ```toml
  zsh_path = "/Users/mbolin/code/codex3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/zsh"
  
  [features]
  shell_zsh_fork = true
  ```
  
  Then I ran `just c` to run the dev build of Codex with these changes and
  sent it the message:
  
  ```
  run `echo $0`
  ```
  
  And it replied with:
  
  ```
    echo $0 printed:
  
    /Users/mbolin/code/codex3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/zsh
  
    In this tool context, $0 reflects the script path used to invoke the shell, not just zsh.
  ```
  
  so the tool appears to be wired up correctly.
  
  ## Notes
  
  - The zsh subcommand-decline integration test now uses `rm` under a
  `WorkspaceWrite` sandbox. The previous `/usr/bin/true` scenario is
  auto-allowed by the new `shell-escalation` policy path, which no longer
  produces subcommand approval prompts.

• fix: codex-arg0 no longer depends on codex-core (#12434)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-rs/arg0` only needed two things from `codex-core`:
  
  - the `find_codex_home()` wrapper
  - the special argv flag used for the internal `apply_patch`
  self-invocation path
  
  That made `codex-arg0` depend on `codex-core` for a very small surface
  area. This change removes that dependency edge and moves the shared
  `apply_patch` invocation flag to a more natural boundary
  (`codex-apply-patch`) while keeping the contract explicitly documented.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Moved the internal `apply_patch` argv[1] flag constant out of
  `codex-core` and into `codex-apply-patch`.
  - Renamed the constant to `CODEX_CORE_APPLY_PATCH_ARG1` and documented
  that it is part of the Codex core process-invocation contract (even
  though it now lives in `codex-apply-patch`).
  - Updated `arg0`, the core apply-patch runtime, and the `codex-exec`
  apply-patch test to import the constant from `codex-apply-patch`.
  - Updated `codex-rs/arg0` to call
  `codex_utils_home_dir::find_codex_home()` directly instead of
  `codex_core::config::find_codex_home()`.
  - Removed the `codex-core` dependency from `codex-rs/arg0` and added the
  needed direct dependency on `codex-utils-home-dir`.
  - Added `codex-apply-patch` as a dev-dependency for `codex-rs/exec`
  tests (the apply-patch test now imports the moved constant directly).
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-apply-patch`
  - `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core --lib apply_patch`
  - `cargo test -p codex-exec
  test_standalone_exec_cli_can_use_apply_patch`
  - `cargo shear`

• chore: remove codex-core public protocol/shell re-exports (#12432)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
  from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
  workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
  turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
  coupling over time.
  
  This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
  from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
  `codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
  unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
  - `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
  `InitialHistory`)
    - `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
  - `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
  parse_command, powershell}`
  - Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
    - `codex_protocol::protocol`
    - `codex_protocol::config_types`
    - `codex_protocol::models`
    - `codex_shell_command`
  - Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
  `codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
  - Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
  aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
  API).
  - Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
  dependency edge entirely:
    - `codex-utils-approval-presets`
    - `codex-utils-cli`
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
  - `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
  - `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
  - `just clippy`

• Wire realtime api to core (#12268)

  - Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management 
  - Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
  text, and close conversation.
  - emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
  - Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
  e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
  
  Things to consider:
  - Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
  think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
  separate one if the channels got congested.
  - Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
  restrict that.
  - Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally

• feat(core): zsh exec bridge (#12052)

  zsh fork PR stack:
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12051 
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052 👈 
  
  ### Summary
  This PR introduces a feature-gated native shell runtime path that routes
  shell execution through a patched zsh exec bridge, removing MCP-specific
  behavior from the shell hot path while preserving existing
  CommandExecution lifecycle semantics.
  
  When shell_zsh_fork is enabled, shell commands run via patched zsh with
  per-`execve` interception through EXEC_WRAPPER. Core receives wrapper
  IPC requests over a Unix socket, applies existing approval policy, and
  returns allow/deny before the subcommand executes.
  
  ### What’s included
  **1) New zsh exec bridge runtime in core**
  - Wrapper-mode entrypoint (maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode) for
  EXEC_WRAPPER invocations.
  - Per-execution Unix-socket IPC handling for wrapper requests/responses.
  - Approval callback integration using existing core approval
  orchestration.
  - Streaming stdout/stderr deltas to existing command output event
  pipeline.
  - Error handling for malformed IPC, denial/abort, and execution
  failures.
  
  **2) Session lifecycle integration**
  SessionServices now owns a `ZshExecBridge`.
  Session startup initializes bridge state; shutdown tears it down
  cleanly.
  
  **3) Shell runtime routing (feature-gated)**
  When `shell_zsh_fork` is enabled:
  - Build execution env/spec as usual.
  - Add wrapper socket env wiring.
  - Execute via `zsh_exec_bridge.execute_shell_request(...)` instead of
  the regular shell path.
  - Non-zsh-fork behavior remains unchanged.
  
  **4) Config + feature wiring**
  - Added `Feature::ShellZshFork` (under development).
  - Added config support for `zsh_path` (optional absolute path to patched
  zsh):
  - `Config`, `ConfigToml`, `ConfigProfile`, overrides, and schema.
  - Session startup validates that `zsh_path` exists/usable when zsh-fork
  is enabled.
  - Added startup test for missing `zsh_path` failure mode.
  
  **5) Seatbelt/sandbox updates for wrapper IPC**
  - Extended seatbelt policy generation to optionally allow outbound
  connection to explicitly permitted Unix sockets.
  - Wired sandboxing path to pass wrapper socket path through to seatbelt
  policy generation.
  - Added/updated seatbelt tests for explicit socket allow rule and
  argument emission.
  
  **6) Runtime entrypoint hooks**
  - This allows the same binary to act as the zsh wrapper subprocess when
  invoked via `EXEC_WRAPPER`.
  
  **7) Tool selection behavior**
  - ToolsConfig now prefers ShellCommand type when shell_zsh_fork is
  enabled.
  - Added test coverage for precedence with unified-exec enabled.

• feat(core): add structured network approval plumbing and policy decision model (#11672)

  ### Description
  #### Summary
  Introduces the core plumbing required for structured network approvals
  
  #### What changed
  - Added structured network policy decision modeling in core.
  - Added approval payload/context types needed for network approval
  semantics.
  - Wired shell/unified-exec runtime plumbing to consume structured
  decisions.
  - Updated related core error/event surfaces for structured handling.
  - Updated protocol plumbing used by core approval flow.
  - Included small CLI debug sandbox compatibility updates needed by this
  layer.
  
  #### Why
  establishes the minimal backend foundation for network approvals without
  yet changing high-level orchestration or TUI behavior.
  
  #### Notes
  - Behavior remains constrained by existing requirements/config gating.
  - Follow-up PRs in the stack handle orchestration, UX, and app-server
  integration.
