rka-oaiandGitHub 33cc928d33 [codex] Use input items for Responses Lite tools (#27946)
When using Responses Lite, we should all use `additional_tools` and a
developer item instead of the top level tools array & instructions
field. This keeps things 1-to-1.

Forced namespacing for _all_ tools will land in a following PR after
some coordination & fixes in Responses API (around collisions & return
items).

The goal is to eventually expand the scope of this to _all_ requests
from codex, but that will require larger coordination across providers &
slower rollout.

jifandGitHub 5b22a8e5b1 feat: render typed envelopes for multi-agent v2 messages (#28368)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 messages need a consistent, model-visible envelope that
identifies what kind of interaction occurred, who sent it, and which
agent it targets. Previously, encrypted deliveries exposed only
`encrypted_content`, while child completion used the legacy
`<subagent_notification>` shape. That meant the client could not
consistently present `NEW_TASK`, `MESSAGE`, and `FINAL_ANSWER` using the
same format.

This change adds the routing envelope as plaintext while keeping task
and message payloads encrypted. No new Responses API field is required:
an encrypted delivery is represented as an `input_text` header
immediately followed by its existing `encrypted_content` item.

Every envelope now follows this shape:

```text
Message Type: <NEW_TASK | MESSAGE | FINAL_ANSWER>
Task name: <recipient agent path>
Sender: <author agent path>
Payload:
<message payload>
```

## Message types

### `NEW_TASK`

`NEW_TASK` is used when the recipient should begin a new turn, including
an initial `spawn_agent` task and a later `followup_task`.

For a root agent spawning `/root/worker`, the request contains a
plaintext envelope followed by the encrypted task:

```json
{
  "type": "agent_message",
  "author": "/root",
  "recipient": "/root/worker",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "input_text",
      "text": "Message Type: NEW_TASK\nTask name: /root/worker\nSender: /root\nPayload:\n"
    },
    {
      "type": "encrypted_content",
      "encrypted_content": "<encrypted task payload>"
    }
  ]
}
```

Conceptually, the model receives:

```text
Message Type: NEW_TASK
Task name: /root/worker
Sender: /root
Payload:
Review the authentication changes and report any regressions.
```

### `MESSAGE`

`MESSAGE` is used for a queued `send_message` delivery. It communicates
with an existing agent without starting a new turn.

For `/root/worker` reporting progress to the root agent, the request
contains:

```json
{
  "type": "agent_message",
  "author": "/root/worker",
  "recipient": "/root",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "input_text",
      "text": "Message Type: MESSAGE\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\n"
    },
    {
      "type": "encrypted_content",
      "encrypted_content": "<encrypted message payload>"
    }
  ]
}
```

Conceptually, the model receives:

```text
Message Type: MESSAGE
Task name: /root
Sender: /root/worker
Payload:
The protocol tests pass; I am checking the resume path now.
```

### `FINAL_ANSWER`

`FINAL_ANSWER` is emitted when a child agent reaches a terminal state
and reports its result to its parent. Completion payloads are already
available locally, so the complete envelope is represented as plaintext
rather than as a plaintext header plus encrypted content.

For `/root/worker` completing work for the root agent, the request
contains:

```json
{
  "type": "agent_message",
  "author": "/root/worker",
  "recipient": "/root",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "input_text",
      "text": "Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\nNo regressions found."
    }
  ]
}
```

The model-visible form is:

```text
Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER
Task name: /root
Sender: /root/worker
Payload:
No regressions found.
```

Errored, shut down, and missing agents also use `FINAL_ANSWER`, with a
terminal-status description in the payload.

## What changed

- Render `NEW_TASK` or `MESSAGE` in
`InterAgentCommunication::to_model_input_item`, based on whether the
encrypted delivery starts a turn.
- Replace the multi-agent v2 `<subagent_notification>` completion
payload with a model-visible `FINAL_ANSWER` envelope.
- Document `Task name`, `Sender`, and `Payload` consistently in the
multi-agent developer instructions.
- Prevent local-only history projections from treating an encrypted
message's plaintext header as the complete assistant message.
- Preserve rollout-trace interaction edges when an agent message
contains both plaintext and encrypted content.

Legacy multi-agent behavior remains unchanged.

Owen LinandGitHub 040dafa32d feat(core): add metadata field to ResponseItem (#28355)
## Description

This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.

This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.

My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360

## What changed

- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.

jifandGitHub 8f2d6416ce Support plaintext agent messages (#27830)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
envelope inside an assistant message.

With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
author and recipient metadata.

## What changed

- add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
regenerate the affected app-server schemas
- preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
of converting it to assistant text
- record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
- persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
`trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
request
- reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
truncation behavior
- remove request-time assistant-content parsing
- preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
memory inputs
- normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
traces without treating inbound messages as child results
- cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
deterministic mailbox synchronization

jifandGitHub fae2709320 multi-agent: add path-based v2 activity tracking (#27007)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 identifies agents by canonical paths, but its tool
handlers still emitted the larger legacy collaboration begin/end events
built around nickname and role metadata. App-server, rollout-trace,
analytics, and TUI consumers therefore lacked one compact path-based
completion signal that behaved consistently across live events and
replay.

The TUI also needs a bounded `/agent` status surface for v2 agents. It
should use recent local activity for previews, refresh liveness without
loading full histories, and keep the legacy picker available when no
path-backed v2 agent is known.

## What changed

- Replace the v2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, and
`interrupt_agent` legacy lifecycle emissions with a success-only
`SubAgentActivity` event. The event records the tool call ID, occurrence
time, affected thread, canonical agent path, and `started`,
`interacted`, or `interrupted` kind.
- Expose the activity as a completion-only app-server v2
`subAgentActivity` thread item in live notifications and reconstructed
history, regenerate the protocol schemas, and count it in sub-agent tool
analytics.
- Track canonical paths from live activity and loaded-thread metadata in
the TUI, and render the activity in live and replayed transcripts.
- Make `/agent` list running path-backed agents with summaries from
bounded local event buffers. Each summary is capped at 240 graphemes,
the scan is capped at six recent items, only the last three wrapped
lines are shown, and command output is omitted. Liveness falls back to
metadata-only `thread/read` when local turn state is unavailable.
- Persist the activity as a terminal rollout-trace runtime payload and
reduce it to the corresponding spawn, send, follow-up, or close
interaction edge. `interrupt_agent` is classified as a close-edge
operation.
- Preserve the legacy picker when no path-backed v2 agent is known.

## Compatibility

App-server v2 clients that consumed `collabAgentToolCall` begin/end
pairs for these tools must handle the new completion-only
`subAgentActivity` item. Legacy v1 collaboration behavior is unchanged.

## Testing

stale running state after a completed turn.

jifandGitHub 5f4d06ef18 Encrypt multi-agent v2 message payloads (#26210)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently routes agent instructions through normal tool
arguments and inter-agent context. That means the parent model can emit
plaintext task text, Codex can persist it in history/rollouts, and the
recipient can receive it as ordinary assistant-message JSON.

This changes the v2 path so agent instructions stay encrypted between
model calls: Responses encrypts the `message` argument returned by the
model, Codex forwards only that ciphertext, and Responses decrypts it
internally for the recipient model.

## What changed

- Mark the v2 `message` parameter as encrypted for `spawn_agent`,
`send_message`, and `followup_task`.
- Treat multi-agent v2 tool `message` values as ciphertext
unconditionally.
- Store v2 inter-agent task text in
`InterAgentCommunication.encrypted_content` with empty plaintext
`content`.
- Convert encrypted inter-agent communications into the Responses
`agent_message` input item before sending the child request.
- Preserve `agent_message` items across history, rollout, compaction,
telemetry, and app-server schema paths.
- Leave multi-agent v1 unchanged.

## Message shape

The model still calls the v2 tools with a `message` argument, but that
value is now ciphertext:

```json
{
  "name": "spawn_agent",
  "arguments": {
    "task_name": "worker",
    "message": "<ciphertext>"
  }
}
```

Codex stores the task as encrypted inter-agent communication:

```json
{
  "author": "/root",
  "recipient": "/root/worker",
  "content": "",
  "encrypted_content": "<ciphertext>",
  "trigger_turn": true
}
```

When Codex builds the recipient request, it forwards the ciphertext
using the new Responses input item:

```json
{
  "type": "agent_message",
  "author": "/root",
  "recipient": "/root/worker",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "encrypted_content",
      "encrypted_content": "<ciphertext>"
    }
  ]
}
```

Responses decrypts that item internally for the recipient model.

## Context impact

- Parent context no longer carries plaintext v2 agent task instructions
from these tool arguments.
- Codex rollout/history stores ciphertext for v2 agent instructions.
- Recipient requests receive an `agent_message` item instead of
assistant commentary JSON for encrypted task delivery.
- Plaintext completion/status notifications are still plaintext because
they are Codex-generated status messages, not encrypted model tool
arguments.

d927f61208 feat: add remote compaction v2 Responses client path (#20773)
## Why

This adds the `remote_compaction_v2` client path so remote compaction
can run through the normal Responses stream and install a
`context_compaction` item that trigger a compaction.

The goal is to migrate some of the compaction logic on the client side

We keeps the v2 transport behind a feature flag while letting follow-up
requests reuse the compacted context instead of falling back to the
legacy compaction item shape.

## What changed

- add `ResponseItem::ContextCompaction` and refresh the generated
app-server / schema / TypeScript fixtures that expose response items on
the wire
- add `core/src/compact_remote_v2.rs` to send compaction through the
standard streamed Responses client, require exactly one
`context_compaction` output item, and install that item into compacted
history
- route manual compact and auto-compaction through the v2 path when
`remote_compaction_v2` is enabled, while keeping the existing remote
compaction path as the fallback
- preserve the new item type across history retention, follow-up request
construction, telemetry, rollout persistence, and rollout-trace
normalization
- add targeted coverage for the feature flag, `context_compaction`
serialization, rollout-trace normalization, and remote-compaction
follow-up behavior

## Verification

- added protocol tests for `context_compaction`
serialization/deserialization in `protocol/src/models.rs`
- added rollout-trace coverage for `context_compaction` normalization in
`rollout-trace/src/reducer/conversation_tests.rs`
- added remote compaction integration coverage for v2 follow-up reuse
and mixed compaction output streams in
`core/tests/suite/compact_remote.rs`

cassirer-openaiandGitHub df966996a7 [rollout-tracer] Match analysis messages on encrypted id. (#20123)
In some setups the summary or raw content can be dropped between
requests. This triggers a check in the reducer which expects that the
messages should remain identical between requests.

This PR relaxes the checks to only focus on the encrypted ID instead. It
also changes the reducer to keep the most rich version of the message
observed during the rollout (this ensures that we don't accidentally
lose the CoT nor summary when available).

cassirer-openaiandGitHub 89698ad1c3 [rollout-trace] Include x-request-id in rollout trace. (#20066)
## Why

Rollout traces need an identifier that can be used to correlate a Codex
inference with upstream Responses API, proxy, and engine logs. The
reduced trace model already exposed `upstream_request_id`, but it was
being populated from the Responses API `response.id`. That value is
useful for `previous_response_id` chaining, but it is not the transport
request id that upstream systems key on.

This PR separates those concepts so trace consumers can reliably answer
both questions:

- which Responses API response did this inference produce?
- which upstream request handled it?

## Structure

The change keeps the upstream request id at the same lifecycle level as
the provider stream:

- `codex-api` captures the `x-request-id` HTTP response header when the
SSE stream is created and exposes it on `ResponseStream`. Fixture and
websocket streams set the field to `None` because they do not have that
HTTP response header.
- `codex-core` carries that stream-level id into `InferenceTraceAttempt`
when recording terminal stream outcomes. Completed, failed, cancelled,
dropped-stream, and pre-response error paths all record the id when it
is available.
- `rollout-trace` now records both identifiers in raw terminal inference
events and response payloads: `response_id` for the Responses API
`response.id`, and `upstream_request_id` for `x-request-id`.
- The reducer stores both fields on `InferenceCall`. It also uses
`response_id` for `previous_response_id` conversation linking, which
removes the old accidental dependency on the misnamed
`upstream_request_id` field.
- Terminal inference reduction now consumes the full terminal payload
(`InferenceCompleted`, `InferenceFailed`, or `InferenceCancelled`) in
one place. That keeps status, partial payloads, response ids, and
upstream request ids consistent across success, failure, cancellation,
and late stream-mapper events.

## Why This Shape

`x-request-id` is a property of the HTTP/provider response envelope, not
an SSE event. Capturing it once in `codex-api` and plumbing it through
terminal trace recording avoids trying to infer the value from stream
contents, and it preserves the id even when the stream fails or is
cancelled after only partial output.

Keeping `response_id` separate from `upstream_request_id` also makes the
reduced trace model less surprising: `response_id` remains the
conversation-continuation id, while `upstream_request_id` is the
operational correlation id for upstream debugging.

## Validation

The PR updates trace and reducer coverage for:

- reading `x-request-id` from SSE response headers;
- storing the true upstream request id on completed inference calls;
- preserving upstream request ids for cancelled and late-cancelled
inference streams;
- keeping `previous_response_id` reconstruction tied to `response_id`
rather than transport request ids.

cassirer-openaiandGitHub 30c5c768de [codex] Trace cancelled inference streams (#19839)
Records cancelled inference streams when Codex stops consuming a
provider response before `response.completed`, preserving complete
output items observed before cancellation.

Also closes still-running inference calls when the owning turn ends, so
reduced rollout traces do not leave stale `Running` inference nodes.

Covered by focused reducer coverage and a core stream-drop test for
partial output preservation.

cassirer-openaiandGitHub 27d9673273 [rollout_trace] Add rollout trace crate (#18876)
## Summary

Adds the standalone `codex-rollout-trace` crate, which defines the raw
trace event format, replay/reduction model, writer, and reducer logic
for reconstructing model-visible conversation/runtime state from
recorded rollout data.

The crate-level design is documented in
[`codex-rs/rollout-trace/README.md`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/codex/rollout-trace-crate/codex-rs/rollout-trace/README.md).

## Stack

This is PR 1/5 in the rollout trace stack.

- [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout
trace crate
- [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core
session rollout traces
- [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and
code-mode boundaries
- [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions
and multi-agent edges
- [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace
reduction command

## Review Notes

This PR intentionally does not wire tracing into live Codex execution.
It establishes the data model and reducer contract first, with
crate-local tests covering conversation reconstruction, compaction
boundaries, tool/session edges, and code-cell lifecycle reduction. Later
PRs emit into this model.

The README is the best entry point for reviewing the intended trace
format and reduction semantics before diving into the reducer modules.
