• [codex] Support model-defined reasoning efforts (#26444)

  ## Summary
  - accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
  preserving built-in effort behavior
  - propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
  telemetry, and persistence call sites
  - preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
  clients
  - update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
  effort values
  
  ## Root cause
  `ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
  longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
  Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
  assumed a fixed built-in value set.
  
  ## Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.

• [profile-switcher][rust] -- [1/2] Add app-server account session protocol (#25469)

  ## Summary
  
  Adds the app-server v2 `accountSession/*` protocol used by the Desktop
  profile switcher and the backend account metadata client needed to
  populate workspace choices.
  
  This is the protocol layer only. The app-server lifecycle and
  consolidated saved-session storage are split into a follow-up PR.
  
  ## Rust Stack
  
  1. This PR
  2. [openai/codex#25383](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25383) adds
  app-server session lifecycle behavior and consolidated saved-session
  storage.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Generated app-server schema fixtures are included from the existing
  generation flow in the lifecycle PR where the routes are registered.
  - Did not run tests per requested scope.

• feat(app-server): add remote control client management RPCs (#25785)

  ## Why
  
  Remote-control clients need to list and revoke controller-device grants
  without enabling or enrolling the local relay. These are signed-in
  account-management operations, so coupling them to websocket, pairing,
  enrollment, or persisted relay state would prevent clients from managing
  stale grants from the picker.
  
  Related enhancement request: N/A. This adds the Codex app-server surface
  for the planned upstream environment-scoped revoke endpoint.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added experimental app-server v2 RPCs:
    - `remoteControl/client/list`
    - `remoteControl/client/revoke`
  - Added picker-oriented protocol types and standard generated schema
  fixtures. The list response intentionally omits backend account id,
  enrollment status, and location fields.
  - Added `app-server-transport/src/transport/remote_control/clients.rs`
  for environment-scoped GET and DELETE requests. It builds escaped URL
  path segments, forwards optional pagination query fields, sends ChatGPT
  auth plus `chatgpt-account-id`, converts RFC3339 `last_seen_at` values
  to Unix seconds, accepts `204 No Content` revoke responses, and retries
  once after a `401`.
  - Extracted shared ChatGPT auth loading and recovery into
  `app-server-transport/src/transport/remote_control/auth.rs` so
  websocket, pairing, and client management use the same account-auth
  boundary.
  - Retained the configured remote-control base URL on
  `RemoteControlHandle` and resolve management URLs lazily, preserving
  deferred validation while relay startup is disabled.
  - Registered list as `global_shared_read("remote-control-clients")` and
  revoke as `global("remote-control-clients")`.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added transport coverage proving list and revoke work while relay
  state is disabled, IDs are escaped, picker-only fields are returned,
  timestamps are converted, revoke accepts `204`, auth headers are
  forwarded, `401` retries exactly once, `403` is not retried, and
  malformed list payloads retain decode context.
  - Added an app-server integration test proving both JSON-RPC methods
  work before relay enablement and successful revoke returns `{}`.
  - Regenerated and validated experimental and standard app-server schema
  fixtures.

• Propagate permission approval environment id (#25862)

  ## Stack
  
  1. #25850 - Key request-permission grants by environment: stores and
  applies sticky permission grants per environment id.
  2. #25858 - Add `environmentId` to `request_permissions`: lets the model
  target a selected environment and resolves relative permission paths
  against it.
  3. This PR (#25862) - Propagate permission approval environment id:
  carries the selected environment id through approval events, app-server
  requests, TUI prompts, and delegate forwarding.
  4. #25867 - Add remote request permissions integration coverage:
  verifies the selected remote environment across request, approval, grant
  reuse, and exec.
  
  This PR is stacked on #25858, and #25867 is stacked on this PR.
  
  ## Why
  
  PR2 lets the model bind a `request_permissions` call to a selected
  environment, but the approval event and client-facing request still
  needed to carry that binding. For CCA, the user-facing prompt and
  delegated approval path should know which environment the grant applies
  to instead of relying on cwd alone.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added optional `environmentId` to `RequestPermissionsEvent`.
  - Emit the selected environment id from core permission approval events.
  - Preserve the environment id through delegate forwarding, including
  cwd-based delegated requests.
  - Added `environmentId` to app-server permission approval params,
  generated schema/TypeScript artifacts, and README examples.
  - Preserve and display the environment id in TUI permission approval
  prompts.
  - Updated focused core, app-server protocol, and TUI conversion
  coverage.
  
  ## Testing
  
  Not run locally per instruction. Performed read-only `git diff --check`.

• feat: show enterprise monthly credit limits in status (#24812)

  ## Summary
  
  Enterprise users can have an effective monthly credit limit, but Codex
  `/status` currently drops that metadata from the account-usage response.
  
  This change adds the optional `spend_control.individual_limit`
  projection to the existing rate-limit snapshot flow. The backend client
  reads the monthly limit, app-server exposes it as `individualLimit`, and
  the TUI renders a `Monthly credit limit` row through the existing
  progress-bar renderer.
  
  When the backend does not return an effective monthly limit, existing
  rate-limit behavior is unchanged.
  
  ## Existing backend state
  
  The account-usage backend already returns the effective monthly limit
  and current usage together:
  
  ```json
  {
    "spend_control": {
      "reached": false,
      "individual_limit": {
        "limit": "25000",
        "used": "8000",
        "remaining": "17000",
        "used_percent": 32,
        "remaining_percent": 68,
        "reset_after_seconds": 86400,
        "reset_at": 1778137680
      }
    }
  }
  ```
  
  Before this change, Codex projected rolling `primary` and `secondary`
  windows plus `credits`. It ignored `spend_control.individual_limit`, so
  app-server clients and `/status` could not render the monthly cap.
  
  The updated flow is:
  
  ```text
  account usage backend
    -> backend-client reads spend_control.individual_limit
    -> existing rate-limit snapshot carries optional individual_limit
    -> app-server exposes optional individualLimit
    -> TUI renders Monthly credit limit
  ```
  
  ## App-server contract
  
  `account/rateLimits/read` and sparse `account/rateLimits/updated`
  notifications now include an additive nullable
  `rateLimits.individualLimit` field:
  
  ```json
  {
    "individualLimit": {
      "limit": "25000",
      "used": "8000",
      "remainingPercent": 68,
      "resetsAt": 1778137680
    }
  }
  ```
  
  In an `account/rateLimits/read` response, `null` means no monthly limit
  is available. `account/rateLimits/updated` remains a sparse rolling
  notification: clients merge available values into their most recent
  `account/rateLimits/read` snapshot or refetch. Nullable account metadata
  in a rolling notification does not clear a previously observed value.
  
  ## Design decisions
  
  - Extend the existing rate-limit snapshot instead of introducing a
  separate request or wire-level update protocol.
  - Keep the Codex projection narrow: `/status` needs the effective limit,
  current usage, remaining percentage, and reset timestamp.
  - Render the monthly row through the existing progress-bar renderer,
  with one optional detail line for `8,000 of 25,000 credits used`.
  - Keep the backend response optional so existing accounts and older
  usage states preserve their current behavior.
  - Preserve cached monthly metadata when sparse rolling notifications
  omit it. Live account-usage reads remain authoritative and can clear a
  removed limit.
  
  ## Visual evidence
  
  ```text
   Monthly credit limit:   [██████████████░░░░░░] 68% left (resets 07:08 on 7 May)
                           8,000 of 25,000 credits used
  ```
  
  Snapshot:
  `codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/codex_tui__status__tests__status_snapshot_includes_enterprise_monthly_credit_limit.snap`
  
  ## Testing
  
  Tests: generated app-server schema verification, protocol tests,
  backend-client tests, app-server integration coverage, TUI snapshot
  coverage, formatting, and workspace lint cleanup.

• feat(remote-control): add pairing start (#25675)

  ## Why
  
  Remote control enrollment authorizes a desktop server, but app-server v2
  did not expose the follow-up pairing operation needed to mint a
  short-lived controller pairing artifact from that enrolled server.
  Clients need a narrow RPC that starts pairing without exposing the
  backend `serverId` or conflating pairing with websocket connection
  state.
  
  Issue: N/A; internal remote-control pairing API change.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  Added experimental app-server v2 `remoteControl/pairing/start` with
  `manualCode` input and `pairingCode`, nullable `manualPairingCode`,
  `environmentId`, and Unix-seconds `expiresAt` output. The method
  serializes under its own `global("remote-control-pairing")` scope and is
  documented in `app-server/README.md`.
  
  Extended the remote-control transport with private `/server/pair`
  request/response types and normalized `pair_url` handling. Pairing uses
  the current enrolled server bearer, refreshes that bearer when needed,
  keeps backend `server_id` private, validates returned `server_id` and
  `environment_id` against the current enrollment, and preserves backend
  status/header/body context for failures and malformed responses.
  
  Wired the request through `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and
  `MessageProcessor`, mapping unavailable/disabled pairing to
  `invalid_request` and backend failures to internal errors.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-transport`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server

• app-server: remove experimental persist_extended_history bool flag (#25712)

  ## Summary
  
  Remove the dead experimental `persistExtendedHistory` app-server flag
  and collapse rollout persistence to the single policy app-server already
  used.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removed `persistExtendedHistory` from v2 thread start/resume/fork
  params and deleted its deprecation notice path.
  - Removed the persistence-mode enums and plumbing through core, rollout,
  and thread-store.
  - Made rollout filtering mode-free, keeping the existing limited
  persisted-history behavior.
  
  ## Test Plan
  
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server-protocol
  schema_fixtures`
  - `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server
  thread_shell_command_history_responses_exclude_persisted_command_executions`
  - `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-rollout -p
  codex-thread-store`
  - final `rg` for removed flag/type names

• store and expose parent_thread_id on Threads (#25113)

  ## Why
  
  This PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/24161#discussion_r3325692763
  revealed a subagent data modeling issue, where we overloaded
  `forked_from_id` to also mean `parent_thread_id`. That's incorrect since
  guardian and review subagents can be a subagent and NOT fork the main
  thread's history.
  
  The solution here is to explicitly store a new `parent_thread_id` on
  `SessionMeta`, alongside `forked_from_id` which already exists. While
  we're at it, also expose it in the app-server protocol on the `Thread`
  object.
  
  A thread->subagent relationship and a fork of thread history are
  orthogonal concepts.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added top-level `parent_thread_id` persistence on `SessionMeta` and
  runtime/session plumbing through `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
  `CodexSpawnArgs`, `SessionConfiguration`, `ThreadConfigSnapshot`,
  `TurnContext`, and `ModelClient`.
  - Made turn metadata, request headers, analytics, and subagent-start
  events read the separate runtime/top-level parent field instead of
  deriving general parent lineage from `SessionSource` or
  `forked_from_thread_id`.
  - Passed parent lineage separately at delegated subagent, review,
  guardian, agent-job, and multi-agent spawn construction sites;
  copied-history fork lineage remains derived only from `InitialHistory`.
  - Persisted and exposed parent lineage through rollout/thread-store
  projections and app-server v2 `Thread.parentThreadId`.
  - Updated app-server README text and regenerated app-server schema
  fixtures for the additive `parentThreadId` response field.

• Add cloud-managed config layer support (#24620)

  ## Summary
  
  PR 3 of 5 in the cloud-managed config client stack.
  
  Adds enterprise-managed cloud config as a first-class config layer
  source. The layer metadata is preserved through config loading,
  diagnostics, debug output, hook attribution, and app-server protocol
  surfaces.
  
  ## Details
  
  - Enterprise-managed config becomes a normal config layer source with
  backend-supplied `id` and display `name` attached for provenance.
  - These layers are designed to behave like non-file managed config: they
  can surface syntax/type diagnostics by layer name even though there is
  no physical config file.
  - Relative path settings are resolved from a stored config base so
  cloud-delivered config remains consistent with existing MDM-delivered
  config semantics.
  - Hook attribution distinguishes config-delivered hooks from
  requirements-delivered hooks via `HookSource::CloudManagedConfig`.
  - This remains pull-based and snapshot-oriented; the PR adds layer
  identity/diagnostics, not dynamic reload behavior.
  
  ## Validation
  
  Validated through the targeted stack checks after rebasing onto current
  `main`:
  
  - Rust crate tests for
  config/hooks/cloud-config/backend-client/app-server-protocol
  - Filtered `codex-core` and `codex-app-server` `cloud_config_bundle`
  tests
  - Python generated-file contract test
  - `cargo shear --deny-warnings`
  - Targeted `argument-comment-lint` for config/hooks

• Constrain Windows sandbox requirements (#23766)

  # Why
  
  Managed requirements can already constrain sandbox policy choices, but
  Windows sandbox implementation selection was still resolved
  independently from those requirements. That left the TUI able to
  continue through the unelevated fallback even when an organization wants
  to require the elevated Windows sandbox implementation.
  
  # What
  
  - Add `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirements support
  for the Windows `elevated` and `unelevated` implementations.
  - Apply that allowlist during core config resolution so disallowed
  configured or feature-selected Windows sandbox implementations fall back
  to an allowed implementation with the existing requirements warning
  path.
  - Reuse the existing TUI Windows setup prompts to block disallowed
  unelevated continuation, keep required elevated setup in front of the
  user, and refuse to persist a TUI-selected Windows sandbox mode that
  requirements disallow.
  
  # Semantics
  
  | Allowed | Selected | Effective |
  | --- | --- | --- |
  | `["elevated"]` | `unelevated` / unset | `elevated` |
  | `["unelevated"]` | `elevated` / unset | `unelevated` |
  | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `elevated` | `elevated` |
  | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `unelevated` | `unelevated` |
  | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | unset | `elevated` |
  
  Availability is handled by interactive setup surfaces after allowlist
  resolution. If the effective elevated implementation is not ready,
  elevated-only requirements block on setup. When unelevated is also
  allowed, the UI may offer the existing unelevated fallback.
  
  ## TUI Screens
  
  If elevated setup is not already complete:
  ```
    Your organization requires the default Codex agent sandbox to continue. Set it up to protect your files and control
    network access.
    Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
  
  › 1. Set up default sandbox (requires Administrator permissions)
    2. Quit
  ```
  
  If admin setup fails under `["elevated"]`:
  ```
    Couldn't set up your sandbox with Administrator permissions
  
    Your organization requires the default sandbox before Codex can continue.
    Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
  
  › 1. Try setting up admin sandbox again
    2. Quit
  ```
  
  # Next Steps
  
  
  - extend the requirements/readout surface, such as
  `configRequirements/read`, so clients can inspect the loaded
  `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirement instead of
  inferring it from Windows setup state
  - consider extending `windowsSandbox/readiness` as well
  - update the App startup guide, setup flow, and banner surfaces so an
  elevated-only requirement omits any continue-unelevated escape hatch and
  blocks startup until a permitted implementation is ready;
  - preserve the existing unelevated fallback path when requirements allow
  it, including the `["unelevated"]` case where elevated is disallowed

• Add runtime extra skill roots API (#24977)

  ## Summary
  - Add v2 `skills/extraRoots/set` to replace app-server process-local
  standalone skill roots. The setting is not persisted, accepts missing
  roots, and `extraRoots: []` clears the runtime set.
  - Wire runtime roots into core skill discovery for `skills/list` and
  turn loads, clear skill caches on set, and register the roots with the
  skills watcher so later filesystem changes emit `skills/changed`.
  - Update app-server docs, generated JSON/TypeScript schemas, and
  coverage for serialization, missing roots, empty clears, and restart
  behavior.
  
  ## Testing

• fix(config): use deny for Unix socket permissions (#24970)

  ## Why
  
  Unix socket permissions still accepted and displayed `"none"` while file
  permissions use the clearer `"deny"` spelling. This keeps network Unix
  socket policy vocabulary consistent with filesystem policy vocabulary.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Replace the Unix socket permission variant and serialized spelling
  from `none` to `deny` across config, feature configuration, and network
  proxy types.
  - Update app-server v2 serialization, TUI debug output, focused tests,
  and generated schemas to expose `"deny"`.
  - Add coverage for denied Unix socket entries in managed requirements
  and profile overlay behavior.
  
  ## Security
  
  This is a vocabulary change for explicit Unix socket rejection, not a
  network access expansion. Denied entries continue to be omitted from the
  effective allowlist.

• [codex] Add user input client ids (#24653)

  ## Summary
  
  Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
  carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
  echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.

  - Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
  - Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
  generated TypeScript.
  - Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core

• feat(app-server): include turns page on thread resume (#23534)

  ## Summary
  
  The client currently calls `thread/resume` to establish live updates and
  immediately follows it with `thread/turns/list` to hydrate recent turns.
  This lets `thread/resume` return that page directly, eliminating a round
  trip and the ordering/deduplication gap between the two calls.
  
  Experimental clients opt in with `initialTurnsPage: { limit,
  sortDirection, itemsView }`. The response returns `initialTurnsPage` as
  a `TurnsPage`, including cursors for paging further back in history.
  Keeping the controls in a nested opt-in object provides the useful
  `thread/turns/list` knobs without spreading page-specific parameters
  across `thread/resume`.

• Update rmcp to 1.7.0 (#24763)

  WIll make it easier to uprev when the new draft spec is supported.
  
  Also updates reqwest where needed for compatibility but doesn't update
  it everywhere since this is already a large diff.
  
  The new version of rmcp handles certain kinds of authentication failures
  differently, this patch includes support for identifying the failing scope
  in a WWW-Authenticate header.

• Uprev Rust toolchain pins to 1.95.0 (#24684)

  ## Summary
  - Bump the workspace Rust toolchain from `1.93.0` to `1.95.0` across
  Cargo, Bazel, CI, release workflows, devcontainers, and the Codex
  environment config.
  - Refresh `MODULE.bazel.lock` so the Bazel Rust toolchain artifacts
  match the new version.
  - Leave purpose-specific toolchains unchanged, including the
  `argument-comment-lint` nightly and the upstream `rusty_v8` `1.91.0`
  build pin.
  - Includes fixes for new lints from `just fix` and a few codex-authored
  fixes for lints without a suggestion.

• Restore legacy image detail values (#24644)

  ## Why
  
  Older persisted rollouts can contain `input_image.detail` values of
  `auto` or `low` from before `ImageDetail` was narrowed to
  `high`/`original`. Current deserialization rejects those values, which
  can make resume skip later compacted checkpoints and reconstruct an
  oversized raw suffix before the next compaction attempt.
  
  Confirmed Sentry reports fixed by this compatibility path:
  
  - [CODEX-1H3F](https://openai.sentry.io/issues/7500642496/)
  - [CODEX-1H6N](https://openai.sentry.io/issues/7501025347/)
  - [CODEX-1JDP](https://openai.sentry.io/issues/7504549065/)
  - [CODEX-1HW6](https://openai.sentry.io/issues/7503407986/)
  
  ## Background
  
  [openai/codex#20693](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20693) added
  image-detail plumbing for app-server `UserInput` so input images could
  explicitly request `detail: original`. The Slack discussion behind that
  PR was about ScreenSpot / bridge evals where user input images were
  resized, while tool output images already had MCP/code-mode ways to
  request image detail.
  
  In review, the intended new API surface was narrowed to `high` and
  `original`: default to `high`, allow `original` when callers need
  unchanged image handling, and avoid encouraging new `auto` or `low`
  usage. That policy still makes sense for newly emitted values.
  
  The missing compatibility piece is persisted history. Older rollouts can
  already contain `auto` and `low`, and resume reconstructs typed history
  by deserializing those rollout records. Rejecting old values at that
  boundary causes valid compacted checkpoints to be skipped. This PR
  restores `auto` and `low` as real variants so old records deserialize
  and round-trip without being rewritten as `high`, while product paths
  can continue to default to `high` and avoid emitting `auto` for new
  behavior.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Restored `ImageDetail::Auto` and `ImageDetail::Low` as first-class
  protocol values.
  - Preserved `auto`/`low` through rollout deserialization, MCP image
  metadata, code-mode image output, and schema/type generation.
  - Kept local image byte handling conservative: only `original` switches
  to original-resolution loading; `auto`/`low`/`high` continue through the
  resize-to-fit path while retaining their detail value.
  - Added regression coverage for enum round-tripping and code-mode `low`
  detail handling.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `just test -p codex-protocol`
  - `just test -p codex-tools`
  - `just test -p codex-code-mode`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

  - `just test -p codex-core
  suite::code_mode::code_mode_can_use_mcp_image_result_with_image_helper`
  - Loaded broken rollouts on local fixed builds, and started/completed
  new turns.
  
  I also attempted `just test -p codex-core`; the local broad run did not
  finish green: 2559 tests run, 2467 passed, 55 flaky, 91 failed, 1 timed
  out. The failures were broad timeout/deadline failures across unrelated
  areas; targeted changed-path core tests above passed.

• Add experimental turn additional context (#24154)

  ## Summary
  
  Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
  `turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
  browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
  visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
  
  ## API Shape
  
  The parameter shape is:
  
  ```ts
  additionalContext?: Record<string, {
    value: string
    kind: "untrusted" | "application"
  }> | null
  ```
  
  Example:
  
  ```json
  {
    "additionalContext": {
      "browser_info": {
        "value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
        "kind": "untrusted"
      },
      "automation_info": {
        "value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
        "kind": "application"
      }
    }
  }
  ```
  
  The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
  
  ## Context Injection
  
  When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
  hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
  items.
  
  `kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
  
  ```text
  <external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
  ```
  
  `kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
  
  ```text
  <${key}>${value}</${key}>
  ```
  
  Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
  before wrapping.
  
  For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
  user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
  steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
  empty input.
  
  ## Dedupe Strategy
  
  `AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
  complete additional-context map.
  
  Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
  `additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
  injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
  changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
  replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
  retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
  
  Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
  resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
  core turn start and steer handling.
  - Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
  context and application developer-role context.
  - Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
  combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
  - Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
  dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
  behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
  matching, and truncation.

• Use thread config for TUI MCP inventory (#24532)

  ## Summary
  `/mcp` in the TUI should reflect the current loaded thread, including
  project-local MCP servers from that thread config. Before this change,
  `mcpServerStatus/list` only read the latest global MCP config, so the
  active chat could miss project-local servers.
  
  This adds optional `threadId` to `mcpServerStatus/list`. When present,
  app-server resolves the loaded thread and lists MCP status from the
  refreshed effective config for that thread; when omitted, existing
  global config behavior stays unchanged.
  
  The TUI now sends the active chat thread id for `/mcp` and `/mcp
  verbose`, carries that origin through the async inventory result, and
  ignores stale completions if the user has switched threads before the
  fetch returns. The app-server schemas were regenerated.
  
  ## Follow-up
  Once this app-server API change lands, the desktop app should make the
  same `threadId` plumbing so its MCP inventory also uses the current
  thread config.
  
  Fixes #23874

• app-server: drop legacy profile config surface (#24067)

  ## Why
  
  Legacy `[profiles.<name>]` config tables and the legacy `profile`
  selector are being retired in favor of profile files selected with
  `--profile <name>`. After #23886 removed the CLI-side legacy profile
  plumbing, the app-server config surface still exposed those fields and
  still carried conversion code for the old protocol shape.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Remove `profile`, `profiles`, and `ProfileV2` from the app-server
  config protocol/schema output so `config/read` no longer returns legacy
  profile config.
  - Drop the old v1 `UserSavedConfig` profile conversion path from
  `config`.
  - Reject new app-server config writes under `profiles.*` with the same
  migration direction used for `profile`, while still allowing callers to
  clear existing legacy profile tables.
  - Refresh app-server config coverage and the experimental API README
  example around the remaining `Config` nesting path.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added config-manager coverage that `config/read` omits legacy profile
  config, `profiles.*` writes are rejected, and existing legacy profile
  tables can still be cleared.
  - Updated the v2 config RPC test to cover the rejected `profiles.*`
  batch-write path.

• feat: support managed permission profiles in requirements.toml (#23433)

  ## Why
  
  Cloud-managed `requirements.toml` should be able to define the managed
  permission profiles a client may select and constrain that selectable
  set without requiring local user config to recreate the profile catalog.
  
  This keeps requirements focused on restrictions. The selected default
  remains a config or session choice, while requirements contribute the
  managed profile bodies and `allowed_permissions` allowlist that the
  config-loading boundary validates before a resolved runtime
  `PermissionProfile` is installed.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add `requirements.toml` support for a managed permission-profile
  catalog plus its allowlist:
  
  ```toml
  allowed_permissions = ["review", "build"]
  
  [permissions.review]
  extends = ":read-only"
  
  [permissions.build]
  extends = ":workspace"
  ```
  
  - Merge requirements-defined profile bodies into the effective
  permission catalog and reject profile ids that collide with
  config-defined profiles.
  - Validate that every `allowed_permissions` entry resolves to a built-in
  or catalog profile before selection uses it.
  - Preserve allowed configured named-profile selections. When a
  configured named profile is disallowed, fall back to the first allowed
  requirements profile with a startup warning.
  - Keep built-in selections and the stock trust-based `:read-only` /
  `:workspace` fallback path intact when no permission profile is
  explicitly selected.
  - Centralize the managed catalog and allowlist selection path in
  `EffectivePermissionSelection` so the requirements boundary is visible
  in config loading.
  - Surface `allowedPermissions` through `configRequirements/read`, and
  update the generated app-server schema fixtures plus the app-server
  README.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core system_requirements_`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core system_allowed_permissions_`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  
  ## Related work
  
  - Uses merged permission-profile inheritance support from #22270 and
  #23705.
  - Kept separate from the in-flight permission profile listing API in
  #23412.

• [codex] Add plugin id to MCP tool call items (#23737)

  Add owning plugin id to MCP tool call items so we can better filter them
  at plugin level.
  
  ## Summary
  - add optional `plugin_id` to MCP tool-call items and legacy begin/end
  events
  - propagate plugin metadata into emitted core items and app-server v2
  `ThreadItem::McpToolCall`
  - preserve plugin ids through app-server replay/redaction paths and
  regenerate v2 schema fixtures

  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

  - A broader `cargo test -p codex-core` run passed core unit tests, then
  hit shell/sandbox/snapshot failures in the integration target.
  - A broader app-server downstream run hit the existing
  `in_process::tests::in_process_start_clamps_zero_channel_capacity` stack
  overflow; `cargo test -p codex-exec` also hit the existing sandbox
  expectation mismatch in
  `thread_lifecycle_params_include_legacy_sandbox_when_no_active_profile`.

• Honor client-resolved service tier defaults (#23537)

  ## Why
  
  Model catalog responses can now advertise a nullable
  `default_service_tier` for each model. Codex needs to preserve three
  distinct states all the way from config/app-server inputs to inference:
  
  - no explicit service tier, so the client may apply the current model
  catalog default when FastMode is enabled
  - explicit `default`, meaning the user intentionally wants standard
  routing
  - explicit catalog tier ids such as `priority`, `flex`, or future tiers
  
  Keeping those states distinct prevents the UI from showing one tier
  while core sends another, especially after model switches or app-server
  `thread/start` / `turn/start` updates.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Plumbed `default_service_tier` through model catalog protocol types,
  app-server model responses, generated schemas, model cache fixtures, and
  provider/model-manager conversions.
  - Added the request-only `default` service tier sentinel and normalized
  legacy config spelling so `fast` in `config.toml` still materializes as
  the runtime/request id `priority`.
  - Moved catalog default resolution to the TUI/client side, including
  recomputing the effective service tier when model/FastMode-dependent
  surfaces change.
  - Updated app-server thread lifecycle config construction so
  `serviceTier: null` preserves explicit standard-routing intent by
  mapping to `default` instead of internal `None`.
  - Kept core responsible for validating explicit tiers against the
  current model and stripping `default` before `/v1/responses`, without
  applying catalog defaults itself.

  />
  
  `SubagentStop` runs when a thread-spawned subagent turn is about to
  finish. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStop` instead of the
  normal root-agent `Stop` hook.
  
  Configured handlers match on `agent_type`. Hook input includes the
  normal stop fields plus:
  
  - `agent_id`: the child thread id.
  - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
  - `agent_transcript_path`: the child subagent transcript path.
  - `transcript_path`: the parent thread transcript path.
  - `last_assistant_message`: the final assistant message from the child
  turn, when available.
  - `stop_hook_active`: `true` when the child is already continuing
  because an earlier stop-like hook blocked completion.
  
  `SubagentStop` shares the same completion-control semantics as `Stop`,
  scoped to the child turn:
  
  - No decision allows the child turn to finish.
  - `decision: "block"` with a non-empty `reason` records that reason as
  hook feedback and continues the child with that prompt.
  - `continue: false` stops the child turn. If `stopReason` is present,
  Codex surfaces it as the stop reason.
  
  # Lifecycle Scope
  
  Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStop`.
  
  Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
  and Other do not run normal `Stop` hooks and do not run `SubagentStop`.
  This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal
  implementation paths.

• feat(permissions): resolve permission profile inheritance (#22270)

  ## Stack
  
  This is the foundation PR for the permission-profile inheritance stack.
  
  - This PR adds config-level `extends` resolution and merge semantics.
  - Follow-up: #23705 applies resolved profiles at runtime and updates the
  active-profile protocol surfaces.
  
  ## Why
  
  Permission profiles are starting to carry enough policy that
  copy-pasting near-identical definitions becomes hard to review and easy
  to drift. Before the runtime can consume inherited profiles, the config
  layer needs one explicit resolver that can merge parent chains and
  reject unsafe or invalid inheritance shapes.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add `extends` to permission-profile TOML and resolve parent chains in
  inheritance order.
  - Merge inherited profile TOML with the existing config merge behavior
  while preserving the permission-specific normalization needed for
  network domain keys.
  - Keep parent descriptions out of resolved child profiles and record
  inherited profile names separately for downstream consumers.
  - Reject undefined parents, unsupported built-in parents, and
  inheritance cycles with targeted errors.
  - Cover resolver behavior with TOML fixture tests and refresh the
  generated config schema.

• Add thread/settings/update app-server API (#23502)

  ## Why
  
  App-server clients need a way to update a thread's next-turn settings
  without starting a turn, adding transcript content, or waiting for turn
  lifecycle events. This gives settings UI a direct path for durable
  thread settings while clients observe the eventual effective state
  through a notification.
  
  This is a simplified rework of PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22509. In particular, it changes
  the `thread/settings/update` api to return immediately rather than
  waiting and returning the effective (updated) thread settings. This
  makes the new api consistent with `turn/start` and greatly reduces the
  complexity of the implementation relative to the earlier attempt.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds experimental `thread/settings/update` with partial-update request
  fields and an empty acknowledgment response.
  - Adds experimental `thread/settings/updated`, carrying full effective
  `ThreadSettings` and scoped by `threadId` to subscribed clients for the
  affected thread.
  - Shares durable settings validation with `turn/start`, including
  `sandboxPolicy` plus `permissions` rejection and `serviceTier: null`
  clearing.
  - Emits the same settings notification when `turn/start` overrides
  change the stored effective thread settings.
  - Regenerates app-server protocol schema fixtures and updates
  `app-server/README.md`.

• Fix empty rollout path app-server handling (#23400)

  ## Summary
  - Coerce `path: ""` to `None` at the v2 protocol params deserialization
  boundary for `thread/resume` and `thread/fork`.
  - Restore the pre-ThreadStore running-thread resume behavior: if
  `threadId` is already running, rejoin it by id and treat a non-empty
  `path` only as a consistency check; otherwise cold resume keeps `history
  > path > threadId` precedence.
  - Add protocol, resume, and fork regression coverage for empty path
  payloads; refresh app-server schema fixtures for the clarified params
  docs.
  
  ## Tests
  - `just fmt`
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
  thread_path_params_deserialize_empty_path_as_none`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol --test schema_fixtures`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server empty_path`
  - `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all

• Add SubagentStart hook (#22782)

  # What
  
  `SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent,
  before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned
  subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent
  `SessionStart` hook.
  
  Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same
  value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex
  uses the default agent type.
  
  Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus:
  
  - `agent_id`: the child thread id.
  - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
  
  `SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That
  context is added to the child conversation before the first model
  request.
  
  # Lifecycle Scope
  
  Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`.
  
  Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
  and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run
  `SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for
  internal implementation paths.
  
  Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches
  behavior with other coding agents' implementation
  
  # Stack
  
  1. This PR: add `SubagentStart`.
  2. #22873: add `SubagentStop`.
  3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.

• Make deny canonical for filesystem permission entries (#23493)

  ## Why
  Filesystem permission profiles used `none` for deny-read entries, which
  is less direct than the action the entry actually represents. This
  change makes `deny` the canonical filesystem permission spelling while
  preserving compatibility for older configs that still send `none`.
  
  ## What changed
  - rename `FileSystemAccessMode::None` to `Deny`
  - serialize and generate schemas with `deny` as the canonical value
  - retain `none` only as a legacy input alias for temporary config
  compatibility
  - update filesystem glob diagnostics and regression coverage to use the
  canonical spelling
  - refresh config and app-server schema fixtures to match the new wire
  shape
  
  ## Validation
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core config_toml_deserializes_permission_profiles
  --lib`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  read_write_glob_patterns_still_reject_non_subpath_globs --lib`
  
  Earlier in the session, a broad `cargo test -p codex-core` run reached
  unrelated pre-existing failures in timing/snapshot/git-info tests under
  this environment; the targeted surfaces touched by this PR passed
  cleanly.

• Add body_after_prefix auto-compact token limit scope (#22870)

  ## Why
  
  `model_auto_compact_token_limit` has only been able to budget the full
  active context. That makes it hard to set a small "growth since
  compaction" budget for sessions that preserve a large carried window
  prefix: the preserved prefix can consume the whole budget and force
  immediate repeated compaction.
  
  This PR adds an opt-in `body_after_prefix` scope so callers can apply
  `model_auto_compact_token_limit` to sampled output and later growth
  after the current carried prefix, while still forcing compaction before
  the full model context window is exhausted.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds `AutoCompactTokenLimitScope` with the existing `total` behavior
  as the default and a new `body_after_prefix` mode:
  [`config_types.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/protocol/src/config_types.rs#L24-L37).
  - Threads `model_auto_compact_token_limit_scope` through config loading,
  `Config`, `core-api`, and app-server v2 schema/TypeScript generation.
  - Records the first observed input-token count for a `body_after_prefix`
  compaction window and uses it as the baseline when deciding whether the
  scoped auto-compaction budget is exhausted:
  [`turn.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/core/src/session/turn.rs#L743-L781).
  - Keeps a hard context-window cap in `body_after_prefix`, so scoped
  budgeting cannot let the active context overrun the usable window.
  
  ## Verification
  
  Added compact-suite coverage for the two key behaviors:
  `body_after_prefix` does not re-compact just because the carried prefix
  is larger than the scoped budget, and it still compacts when the total
  active context reaches the configured context window:
  [`compact.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact.rs#L3003-L3128).

• app-server: use profile ids in v2 permission params (#23360)

  ## Why
  
  The v2 app-server permission profile fields are experimental, but the
  previous migration kept a legacy object payload for profile selection.
  That made clients aware of server-owned `activePermissionProfile`
  metadata such as `extends`, and it kept a
  `legacy_additional_writable_roots` path even though
  `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` now owns runtime workspace-root selection.
  
  This PR makes the client contract match the intended model: clients
  select a permission profile by id, and the server resolves and reports
  active profile provenance in response payloads.
  
  Follow-up to #22611.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Changed `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and
  `turn/start` permission profile selection to plain profile id strings.
  - Changed `command/exec.permissionProfile` to a plain profile id string
  for the same client/server ownership split.
  - Removed `PermissionProfileSelectionParams` and the legacy `{ type:
  "profile", modifications: [...] }` compatibility deserializer.
  - Updated app-server, TUI, and `codex exec` call sites to send only ids,
  while keeping `activePermissionProfile` as server response metadata.
  - Updated app-server docs and schema fixtures for the revised
  `command/exec.permissionProfile` shape.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-exec`
  - `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-tui`

• feat(app-server): add optional thread_id to experimentalFeature/list (#23335)

  ## Why
  
  `experimentalFeature/list` reports effective feature enablement, but
  currently does not resolve it against a working directory where
  project-local config.toml files can exist and toggle on/off features
  when merged into the effective config after resolving the various config
  layers. That means we effectively (and incorrectly) ignore features set
  in project-local config.
  
  To address that, this PR exposes an optional `thread_id` param which
  allows us to load the thread's `cwd.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server experimental_feature_list`

• goal: pause continuation loops on usage limits and blockers (#23094)

  Addresses #22833, #22245, #23067
  
  ## Why
  `/goal` can keep synthesizing turns even when the next turn cannot make
  meaningful progress. Hard usage exhaustion can replay failing turns, and
  repeated permission or external-resource blockers can keep burning
  tokens while waiting for user or system intervention.
  
  ## What changed
  - Add resumable `blocked` and `usageLimited` goal states. As with
  `paused`, goal continuation stops with these states.
  - Move to `usageLimited` after usage-limit failures.
  - Allow the built-in `update_goal` tool to set `blocked` only under
  explicit repeated-impasse guidance. Updated goal continuation prompt to
  specify that agent should use `blocked` only when it has made at least
  three attempts to get past an impasse.
  
  Most of the files touched by this PR are because of the small app server
  protocol update.
  
  ## Validation
  
  I manually reproduced a number of situations where an agent can run into
  a true impasse and verified that it properly enters `blocked` state. I
  then resumed and verified that it once again entered `blocked` state
  several turns later if the impasse still exists.
  
  I also manually reproduced the usage-limit condition by creating a
  simulated responses API endpoint that returns 429 errors with the
  appropriate error message. Verified that the goal runtime properly moves
  the goal into `usageLimited` state and TUI UI updates appropriately.
  Verified that `/goal resume` resumes (and immediately goes back into
  `ussageLImited` state if appropriate).
  
  
  ## Follow-up PRs
  
  Small changes will be needed to the GUI clients to properly handle the
  two new states.

• [codex] Add installed-plugin mention API (#22448)

  ## Summary
  - add app-server `plugin/installed` for mention-oriented plugin loading
  - return installed plugins plus explicitly requested install-suggestion
  rows
  - keep remote handling on installed-state data instead of the broad
  catalog listing path
  
  ## Why
  The `@` mention surface only needs plugins that are usable now, plus a
  small product-approved set of install suggestions. It does not need the
  full catalog-shaped `plugin/list` payload that the Plugins page uses.
  
  ## Validation
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core-plugins`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all plugin_installed_`
  
  ## Notes
  - The package-wide `cargo test -p codex-app-server` run still hits an
  existing unrelated stack overflow in
  `in_process::tests::in_process_start_clamps_zero_channel_capacity`.

• app-server-protocol: remove PermissionProfile from API (#22924)

  ## Why
  
  The app server API should expose permission profile identity, not the
  lower-level runtime permission model. `PermissionProfile` is the
  compiled sandbox/network representation that the server uses internally;
  exposing it through app-server-protocol forces clients to understand
  details that should remain implementation-level.
  
  The API boundary should prefer `ActivePermissionProfile`: a stable
  profile id, plus future parent-profile metadata, that clients can pass
  back when they want to select the same active permissions. This also
  avoids schema generation collisions between the app-server v2 API type
  space and the core protocol model.
  
  Incidentally, while PR makes a number of changes to `command/exec`, note
  that we are hoping to deprecate this API in favor of `process/spawn`, so
  we don't need to be too finicky about these changes.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removed `PermissionProfile` from the app-server-protocol API surface,
  including generated schema and TypeScript exports.
  - Changed `CommandExecParams.permissionProfile` to
  `ActivePermissionProfile`.
  - Resolve command exec profile ids through `ConfigManager` for the
  command cwd, matching turn override selection semantics.
  - Updated downstream TUI tests/helpers to use core permission types
  directly instead of app-server-protocol `PermissionProfile` shims.

• Preserve image detail in app-server inputs (#20693)

  ## Summary
  
  - Add optional image detail to user image inputs across core, app-server
  v2, thread history/event mapping, and the generated app-server
  schemas/types.
  - Preserve requested detail when serializing Responses image inputs:
  omitted detail stays on the existing `high` default, while explicit
  `original` keeps local images on the original-resolution path.
  - Support `high`/`original` consistently for tool image outputs,
  including MCP `codex/imageDetail`, code-mode image helpers, and
  `view_image`.

• feat(app-server): update remote control APIs for better UX (#22877)

  ## Why
  To help improve `codex remote-control` CLI UX which I plan to do in a
  followup, this PR adds `server-name` to the various remote control APIs:
  - `remoteControl/enable`
  - `remoteControl/disable`
  - `remoteControl/status/changed`
  
  Also, add a `remoteControl/status/read` API. This will be helpful in the
  Codex App.

• app-server: stop returning thread permission profiles (#22792)

  ## Why
  
  The app-server thread lifecycle API should no longer expose the full
  `PermissionProfile` value. After the permissions-profile migration,
  clients should round-trip only the active profile identity through
  `activePermissionProfile` and `permissions` when that identity is known.
  
  The full profile is server-side config. Treating a response-derived
  legacy sandbox projection as a new local profile can lose named-profile
  restrictions and accidentally widen permissions on the next turn. The
  legacy `sandbox` response field remains only as the
  compatibility/display fallback.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removed `permissionProfile` from `ThreadStartResponse`,
  `ThreadResumeResponse`, and `ThreadForkResponse`.
  - Stopped populating that field in app-server thread start/resume/fork
  responses.
  - Updated embedded exec/TUI response mapping to derive display
  permission state from local config or the legacy sandbox fallback
  instead of a response profile value.
  - Added a TUI turn override shape that distinguishes preserving server
  permissions, selecting an active profile id, and sending a legacy
  sandbox for an explicit local override.
  - Preserved remote app-server permissions across turns by sending
  `permissions` only when an `activePermissionProfile` id is known, and
  otherwise sending no sandbox override unless the user selected a local
  override.
  - Kept embedded `thread/resume` hydration server-authored when
  `activePermissionProfile` is absent, which matches the live-thread
  attach path where the server ignores requested overrides.
  - Updated the app-server README to remove the obsolete lifecycle
  response `permissionProfile` reference. The remaining
  `permissionProfile` README references are request-side permission
  overrides.
  - Regenerated app-server JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures.
  - Kept the generated typed response enum exempt from
  `large_enum_variant`, matching the existing payload enum exemption after
  the lifecycle response variants shrank.
  
  ## How To Review
  
  Start with `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/thread.rs` to
  confirm the response shape, then check the response construction in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors`. The generated schema and
  TypeScript fixture changes are mechanical follow-through from the
  protocol removal.
  
  The TUI behavior is the delicate part: review
  `codex-rs/tui/src/app_server_session.rs` for response hydration and
  turn-start override projection, then
  `codex-rs/tui/src/app/thread_routing.rs` for the decision about whether
  the next turn should preserve the server snapshot, send an active
  profile id, or send a legacy sandbox for an explicit local override.

  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol

• [codex] Use compaction_trigger item for remote compaction v2 (#22809)

  ## Why
  
  Remote compaction v2 was still using `context_compaction` as both the
  request trigger and the compacted output shape. The Responses API now
  has the landed contract for this flow: Codex sends a dedicated `{
  "type": "compaction_trigger" }` input item, and the backend returns the
  standard `compaction` output item with encrypted content.
  
  This aligns the v2 path with that wire contract while preserving the
  existing local compacted-history post-processing behavior.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add `ResponseItem::CompactionTrigger` and regenerate the app-server
  protocol schema fixtures.
  - Send `compaction_trigger` from `remote_compaction_v2` instead of a
  payload-less `context_compaction`.
  - Collect exactly one backend `compaction` output item, then reuse the
  existing compacted-history rebuilding path.
  - Treat the trigger item as a transient request marker rather than model
  output or persisted rollout/memory content.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol compaction_trigger`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core remote_compact_v2`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core compact_remote_v2`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
