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

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

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

  ## Why
  
  Memory startup was tied to thread lifecycle events such as create, load,
  and fork. That can run memory work before a thread receives real user
  input, and it makes startup cost scale with thread management instead of
  actual turns. Moving the trigger to `thread/sendInput` keeps memory
  startup aligned with the first real user turn and lets it use the
  current thread config at turn time.
  
  The idea is to prevent ghost cost due to pre-warm triggered by the app
  
  Turn-based startup can also make global phase-2 consolidation easier to
  request repeatedly, so this adds a success cooldown and tightens the
  default startup scan window.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Start `codex_memories_write::start_memories_startup_task` after a
  non-empty `thread/sendInput` turn is submitted, instead of from thread
  create/load/fork paths:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d4a6885b7829e2fd2ec7a09355e4f75ebe1d1fe3/codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs#L6477-L6487
  - Expose `CodexThread::config()` so app-server can pass the live config
  into memory startup at turn time.
  - Add a six-hour successful-run cooldown for global phase-2
  consolidation via `SkippedCooldown`:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d4a6885b7829e2fd2ec7a09355e4f75ebe1d1fe3/codex-rs/state/src/runtime/memories.rs#L963-L966
  - Reduce memory startup defaults to at most 2 rollouts over 10 days:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d4a6885b7829e2fd2ec7a09355e4f75ebe1d1fe3/codex-rs/config/src/types.rs#L31-L34
  
  ## Verification
  
  Updated the memory runtime coverage around phase-2 reclaim behavior,
  including `phase2_global_lock_respects_success_cooldown`.

• Stabilize memory Phase 2 input ordering (#19967)

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

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

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

• permissions: derive snapshot sandbox projections (#19775)

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

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

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

• Avoid persisting ShutdownComplete after thread shutdown (#19630)

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

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

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

• Remove ghost snapshots (#19481)

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

• disallow fileparams metadata for custom mcps (#19836)

  ## Summary
  Disallow fileParams metadata for custom MCPs 
  
  Restricts Codex openai/fileParams handling to the first-party codex_apps
  MCP server. Custom MCP servers may still advertise the metadata, but
  Codex now ignores it for upload rewriting, preventing non-Apps tools
  from receiving signed OpenAI file refs for local paths. Added a
  regression test for the allowed and denied cases.

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

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

• Show action required in terminal title (#18372)

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

• permissions: remove cwd special path (#19841)

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

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

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

• refactor: make auth loading async (#19762)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• permissions: centralize legacy sandbox projection (#19734)

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

  - `cargo test -p codex-tui

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

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

• permissions: remove core legacy policy round trips (#19394)

  ## Why
  
  Several execution paths still converted profile-backed permissions into
  `SandboxPolicy` and then rebuilt runtime permissions from that legacy
  shape. Those round trips are unnecessary after the preceding PRs and can
  lose split filesystem semantics. Core approval and escalation should
  carry the resolved profile directly.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes `sandbox_policy` from `ResolvedPermissionProfile`; the
  resolved permission object now carries the canonical `PermissionProfile`
  directly.
  - Updates exec-policy fallback, shell/unified-exec interception,
  escalation reruns, and related tests to pass profiles instead of legacy
  policies.
  - Removes legacy additional-permission merge helpers that built an
  effective `SandboxPolicy` before rebuilding runtime permissions.
  - Keeps legacy projections only at compatibility boundaries that still
  require `SandboxPolicy`, not in core permission computation.
  
  ## Verification

• permissions: migrate approval and sandbox consumers to profiles (#19393)

  ## Why
  
  Runtime decisions should not infer permissions from the lossy legacy
  sandbox projection once `PermissionProfile` is available. In particular,
  `Disabled` and `External` need to remain distinct, and managed profiles
  with split filesystem or deny-read rules should not be collapsed before
  approval, network, safety, or analytics code makes decisions.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Changes managed network proxy setup and network approval logic to use
  `PermissionProfile` when deciding whether a managed sandbox is active.
  - Migrates patch safety, Guardian/user-shell approval paths, Landlock
  helper setup, analytics sandbox classification, and selected
  turn/session code to profile-backed permissions.
  - Validates command-level profile overrides against the constrained
  `PermissionProfile` rather than a strict `SandboxPolicy` round trip.
  - Preserves configured deny-read restrictions when command profiles are
  narrowed.
  - Adds coverage for profile-backed trust, network proxy/approval
  behavior, patch safety, analytics classification, and command-profile
  narrowing.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`

• [codex] Move config loading into codex-config (#19487)

  ## Why
  
  Config loading had become split across crates: `codex-config` owned the
  config types and merge logic, while `codex-core` still owned the loader
  that assembled the layer stack. This change consolidates that
  responsibility in `codex-config`, so the crate that defines config
  behavior also owns how configs are discovered and loaded.
  
  To make that move possible without reintroducing the old dependency
  cycle, the shell-environment policy types and helpers that
  `codex-exec-server` needs now live in `codex-protocol` instead of
  flowing through `codex-config`.
  
  This also makes the migrated loader tests more deterministic on machines
  that already have managed or system Codex config installed by letting
  tests override the system config and requirements paths instead of
  reading the host's `/etc/codex`.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - moved the config loader implementation from `codex-core` into
  `codex-config::loader` and deleted the old `core::config_loader` module
  instead of leaving a compatibility shim
  - moved shell-environment policy types and helpers into
  `codex-protocol`, then updated `codex-exec-server` and other downstream
  crates to import them from their new home
  - updated downstream callers to use loader/config APIs from
  `codex-config`
  - added test-only loader overrides for system config and requirements
  paths so loader-focused tests do not depend on host-managed config state
  - cleaned up now-unused dependency entries and platform-specific cfgs
  that were surfaced by post-push CI
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core config_loader_tests::`
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-exec-server -p
  codex-cloud-requirements -p codex-rmcp-client --lib`
  - `cargo test --lib -p codex-app-server-client -p codex-exec`
  - `cargo test --no-run --lib -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox --lib`
  - `cargo shear`
  - `just bazel-lock-check`
  
  ## Notes
  
  - I did not chase unrelated full-suite failures outside the migrated
  loader surface.
  - `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` still hits unrelated proxy-sensitive
  failures on this machine, and Windows CI still shows unrelated
  long-running/timeouting test noise outside the loader migration itself.

• permissions: derive compatibility policies from profiles (#19392)

  ## Why
  
  After #19391, `PermissionProfile` and the split filesystem/network
  policies could still be stored in parallel. That creates drift risk: a
  profile can preserve deny globs, external enforcement, or split
  filesystem entries while a cached projection silently loses those
  details. This PR makes the profile the runtime source and derives
  compatibility views from it.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes stored filesystem/network sandbox projections from
  `Permissions` and `SessionConfiguration`; their accessors now derive
  from the canonical `PermissionProfile`.
  - Derives legacy `SandboxPolicy` snapshots from profiles only where an
  older API still needs that field.
  - Updates MCP connection and elicitation state to track
  `PermissionProfile` instead of `SandboxPolicy` for auto-approval
  decisions.
  - Adds semantic filesystem-policy comparison so cwd changes can preserve
  richer profiles while still recognizing equivalent legacy projections
  independent of entry ordering.
  - Updates config/session tests to assert profile-derived projections
  instead of parallel stored fields.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`

• permissions: make runtime config profile-backed (#19606)

  ## Why
  
  This supersedes #19391. During stack repair, GitHub marked #19391 as
  merged into a temporary stack branch rather than into `main`, so the
  runtime-config change needed a fresh PR.
  
  `PermissionProfile` is now the canonical permissions shape after #19231
  because it can distinguish `Managed`, `Disabled`, and `External`
  enforcement while also carrying filesystem rules that legacy
  `SandboxPolicy` cannot represent cleanly. Core config and session state
  still needed to accept profile-backed permissions without forcing every
  profile through the strict legacy bridge, which rejected valid runtime
  profiles such as direct write roots.
  
  The unrelated CI/test hardening that previously rode along with this PR
  has been split into #19683 so this PR stays focused on the permissions
  model migration.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds `Permissions.permission_profile` and
  `SessionConfiguration.permission_profile` as constrained runtime state,
  while keeping `sandbox_policy` as a legacy compatibility projection.
  - Introduces profile setters that keep `PermissionProfile`, split
  filesystem/network policies, and legacy `SandboxPolicy` projections
  synchronized.
  - Uses a compatibility projection for requirement checks and legacy
  consumers instead of rejecting profiles that cannot round-trip through
  `SandboxPolicy` exactly.
  - Updates config loading, config overrides, session updates, turn
  context plumbing, prompt permission text, sandbox tags, and exec request
  construction to carry profile-backed runtime permissions.
  - Preserves configured deny-read entries and `glob_scan_max_depth` when
  command/session profiles are narrowed.
  - Adds `PermissionProfile::read_only()` and
  `PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` presets that match legacy
  defaults.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  requested_permissions_trust_project_uses_permission_profile_intent`

• Support end_turn in response.completed (#19610)

  Some providers of Responses API forward a model-defined `end_turn`
  boolean indicating explicitly the model's indication of whether it would
  like to end the turn or to be inferenced again. In this PR, we update
  the sampling loop to use this field correctly if it's set. If the field
  is not set by the provider, we fall back to the existing sampling logic.

• fix(tui): reflow scrollback on terminal resize (#18575)

  Fixes multiple scrollback and terminal resize issues: #5538, #5576,
  #8352, #12223, #16165, and #15380.
  
  ## Why
  
  Codex writes finalized transcript output into terminal scrollback after
  wrapping it for the current viewport width. A later terminal resize
  could leave that scrollback shaped for the old width, so wider windows
  kept narrow output and narrower windows could show stale wrapping
  artifacts until enough new output replaced the visible area.
  
  This is also the foundation PR for responsive markdown tables. Table
  rendering needs finalized transcript content to be width-sensitive after
  insertion, not only while content is first streaming. Markdown table
  rendering itself stays in #18576.
  
  ## Stack
  
  - PR1: resize backlog reflow and interrupt cleanup
  - #18576: markdown table support
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Rebuild source-backed transcript history when the terminal width
  changes. `terminal_resize_reflow` is introduced through the experimental
  feature system, but is enabled by default for this rollout so we can
  validate behavior across real terminals.
  - Preserve assistant and plan stream source so finalized streaming
  output can participate in resize reflow after consolidation.
  - Debounce resize work, but force a final source-backed reflow when a
  resize happened during active or unconsolidated streaming output.
  - Clear stale pending history lines on resize so old-width wrapped
  output is not emitted just before rebuilt scrollback.
  - Bound replay work with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow].max_rows`:
  omitted uses terminal-specific defaults, `0` keeps all rendered rows,
  and a positive value sets an explicit cap. The cap applies both while
  initially replaying a resumed transcript into scrollback and when
  rebuilding scrollback after terminal resize.
  - Consolidate interrupted assistant streams before cleanup, then clear
  pending stream output and active-tail state consistently.
  - Move resize reflow and thread event buffering helpers out of `app.rs`
  into dedicated TUI modules.
  - Add focused coverage for resize reflow, feature-gated behavior,
  streaming source preservation, interrupted output cleanup,
  unicode-neutral text, terminal-specific row caps, and composer/layout
  stability.
  
  ## Runtime Bounds
  
  Resize reflow keeps only the most recent rendered rows when a row cap is
  active. The default is `auto`, which maps to the detected terminal's
  default scrollback size where Codex can identify it: VS Code `1000`,
  Windows Terminal `9001`, WezTerm `3500`, and Alacritty `10000`.
  Terminals without a dedicated mapping use the conservative fallback of
  `1000` rows. Users can override this with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow]
  max_rows = N`, or set `max_rows = 0` to disable row limiting.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `git diff --check`
  - `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui reflow`
  - `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui
  transcript_reflow`
  - `just fix -p codex-tui`
  - PR CI in progress on the squashed branch

• [codex] Bypass managed network for escalated exec (#19595)

  ## Why
  
  `sandbox_permissions = "require_escalated"` is treated as an explicit
  request to approve the command and run it outside the
  filesystem/platform sandbox. Before this change, shell and unified exec
  still registered managed network approval context and could inject
  Codex-managed proxy state into the child process, which meant an
  approved escalated command could still hit a second network approval
  path.
  
  This PR makes that escalation boundary consistent: once a command is
  explicitly approved to run outside the sandbox, Codex does not also
  route that process through the managed network proxy.
  
  ## Security impact
  
  Command/filesystem sandbox approval now implies network approval for
  that command. If an untrusted command or script is allowed to run with
  `require_escalated`, its network calls are unsandboxed: Codex-managed
  network allowlists and denylists are not respected for that process, so
  the command can exfiltrate any data it can read.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Skip managed network approval specs for
  `SandboxPermissions::RequireEscalated`.
  - Pass `network: None` into shell, zsh-fork shell, and unified exec
  sandbox preparation for explicitly escalated requests.
  - Strip Codex-managed proxy environment variables when
  `CODEX_NETWORK_PROXY_ACTIVE` is present, while preserving user proxy env
  when the Codex marker is absent.
  - Add regression coverage for the prepared exec request so the old
  behavior cannot silently reappear.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core explicit_escalation`
  - `cargo clippy -p codex-core --all-targets -- -D warnings`

• Add goal core runtime (4 / 5) (#18076)

  Adds the core runtime behavior for active goals on top of the model
  tools from PR 3.
  
  ## Why
  
  A long-running goal should be a core runtime concern, not something
  every client has to implement. Core owns the turn lifecycle, tool
  completion boundaries, interruptions, resume behavior, and token usage,
  so it is the right place to account progress, enforce budgets, and
  decide when to continue work.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Centralized goal lifecycle side effects behind
  `Session::goal_runtime_apply(GoalRuntimeEvent::...)`.
  - Starts goal continuation turns only when the session is idle; pending
  user input and mailbox work take priority.
  - Accounts token and wall-clock usage at turn, tool, mutation,
  interrupt, and resume boundaries; `get_thread_goal` remains read-only.
  - Preserves sub-second wall-clock remainder across accounting boundaries
  so long-running goals do not drift downward over time.
  - Treats token budget exhaustion as a soft stop by marking the goal
  `budget_limited` and injecting wrap-up steering instead of aborting the
  active turn.
  - Suppresses budget steering when `update_goal` marks a goal complete.
  - Pauses active goals on interrupt and auto-reactivates paused goals
  when a thread resumes outside plan mode.
  - Suppresses repeated automatic continuation when a continuation turn
  makes no tool calls.
  - Added continuation and budget-limit prompt templates.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added focused core coverage for continuation scheduling, accounting
  boundaries, budget-limit steering, completion accounting, interrupt
  pause behavior, resume auto-activation, and wall-clock remainder
  accounting.

• Add goal model tools (3 / 5) (#18075)

  Adds the model-facing goal tools on top of the app-server API from PR 2.
  
  ## Why
  
  Once goals are persisted and exposed to clients, the model needs a
  small, constrained tool surface for goal workflows. The tool contract
  should let the model inspect goals, create them only when explicitly
  requested, and mark them complete without giving it broad control over
  user/runtime-owned state.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `get_goal`, `create_goal`, and `update_goal` tool specs behind
  the `goals` feature flag.
  - Added core goal tool handlers that validate objectives and token
  budgets before mutating persisted state.
  - Constrained `create_goal` to create only when no goal exists, with
  optional `token_budget` only when a budget is explicitly provided.
  - Tightened the `create_goal` instructions so the model does not infer
  goals from ordinary task requests.
  - Constrained `update_goal` to expose only goal completion; pause,
  resume, clear, and budget-limited transitions remain user- or
  runtime-controlled.
  - Registered the goal tools in the tool registry and kept them out of
  review contexts where they should not appear.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added tool-registry coverage for feature gating and tool availability.
  - Added core session tests for create/get/update behavior, duplicate
  goal rejection, budget validation, and completion-only updates.

• Add goal app-server API (2 / 5) (#18074)

  Adds the app-server v2 goal API on top of the persisted goal state from
  PR 1.
  
  ## Why
  
  Clients need a stable app-server surface for reading and controlling
  materialized thread goals before the model tools and TUI can use them.
  Goal changes also need to be observable by app-server clients, including
  clients that resume an existing thread.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added v2 `thread/goal/get`, `thread/goal/set`, and `thread/goal/clear`
  RPCs for materialized threads.
  - Added `thread/goal/updated` and `thread/goal/cleared` notifications so
  clients can keep local goal state in sync.
  - Added resume/snapshot wiring so reconnecting clients see the current
  goal state for a thread.
  - Added app-server handlers that reconcile persisted rollout state
  before direct goal mutations.
  - Updated the app-server README plus generated JSON and TypeScript
  schema fixtures for the new API surface.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added app-server v2 coverage for goal get/set/clear behavior,
  notification emission, resume snapshots, and non-local thread-store
  interactions.

• permissions: remove legacy read-only access modes (#19449)

  ## Why
  
  `ReadOnlyAccess` was a transitional legacy shape on `SandboxPolicy`:
  `FullAccess` meant the historical read-only/workspace-write modes could
  read the full filesystem, while `Restricted` tried to carry partial
  readable roots. The partial-read model now belongs in
  `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `PermissionProfile`, so keeping it on
  `SandboxPolicy` makes every legacy projection reintroduce lossy
  read-root bookkeeping and creates unnecessary noise in the rest of the
  permissions migration.
  
  This PR makes the legacy policy model narrower and explicit:
  `SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` and `SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite` represent
  the old full-read sandbox modes only. Split readable roots, deny-read
  globs, and platform-default/minimal read behavior stay in the runtime
  permissions model.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Removes `ReadOnlyAccess` from
  `codex_protocol::protocol::SandboxPolicy`, including the generated
  `access` and `readOnlyAccess` API fields.
  - Updates legacy policy/profile conversions so restricted filesystem
  reads are represented only by `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` /
  `PermissionProfile` entries.
  - Keeps app-server v2 compatible with legacy `fullAccess` read-access
  payloads by accepting and ignoring that no-op shape, while rejecting
  legacy `restricted` read-access payloads instead of silently widening
  them to full-read legacy policies.
  - Carries Windows sandbox platform-default read behavior with an
  explicit override flag instead of depending on
  `ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted`.
  - Refreshes generated app-server schema/types and updates tests/docs for
  the simplified legacy policy shape.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server-protocol --tests`
  - `cargo check -p codex-windows-sandbox --tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol sandbox_policy_`

• [codex] Forward Codex Apps tool call IDs to backend metadata (#19207)

  ## Summary
  - include the outer tool `call_id` in Codex Apps MCP request metadata
  under `_meta._codex_apps.call_id`
  - preserve existing Codex Apps metadata like `resource_uri` and
  `contains_mcp_source`
  - add request metadata coverage for both the existing-metadata and
  no-existing-metadata cases
  
  ## Why
  The paired backend change in
  [openai/openai#850796](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/850796)
  updates MCP compliance logging to prefer `_meta._codex_apps.call_id`
  instead of the JSON-RPC request id. This client change sends that outer
  tool call id so the backend can record the model/tool call identifier
  when it is available.
  
  This is wire-compatible with older backends because `_meta._codex_apps`
  is already reserved backend-only metadata. Backends that do not read
  `call_id` will ignore the extra field.
  
  ## Testing
  - `cargo test -p codex-core request_meta`
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
