## Why
Marketplace source deserialization treated `{"source":"npm", ...}` as
unsupported. The loader logged and skipped the entry, so npm-backed
plugins never appeared in `plugin list --available` and `plugin add`
returned "plugin not found".
Codex plugins are installed from a plugin root, not from an npm
dependency tree. For npm-backed marketplace entries, Codex should fetch
the published package contents without running package scripts or
installing unrelated dependencies.
## What changed
- Add `npm` marketplace plugin sources with `package`, optional semver
`version` or version range, and optional HTTPS `registry`.
- Reject unsafe npm source fields before materialization, including
invalid package names, non-semver version selectors, plaintext or
credential-bearing registry URLs, and registry query/fragment data.
- Materialize npm plugins with `npm pack --ignore-scripts`, then unpack
the resulting tarball through the existing hardened plugin bundle
extractor.
- Enforce npm archive and extracted-size limits, require the standard
npm `package/` archive root, and verify the extracted `package.json`
name matches the requested package before installing.
- Keep plugin listings, install-source descriptions, CLI JSON/human
output, app-server v2 `PluginSource`, TUI source summaries, regenerated
schema fixtures, and app-server documentation in sync.
## Impact
Marketplaces can distribute Codex plugins from public or configured
private HTTPS npm registries using the same install flow as existing
materialized plugin sources. `npm` must be available on `PATH` when an
npm-backed plugin is installed.
Fixes#27831
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server -p codex-cli`
- npm/schema/core-plugin coverage passed in the run.
- The full focused command finished with `1739 passed`, `11 failed`, and
`6 timed out`; the failures were unrelated local app-server environment
failures from `sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`
plus one missing `test_stdio_server` helper binary.
- Installed an npm-published Codex plugin package through a throwaway
local marketplace and throwaway `CODEX_HOME` to exercise the real npm
materialization path end to end.
## Why
Managed marketplace source requirements only become effective when every
local marketplace mutation path applies the same admission decision.
This change centralizes that decision so CLI, app-server, and
external-agent migration flows cannot add, install from, or refresh a
disallowed source.
## What changed
- Match exact normalized Git repository URLs with an optional exact
`ref`.
- Match Git hosts with managed regular expressions.
- Match local marketplaces by exact absolute path.
- Preserve the expected path/name boundary for managed OpenAI
marketplaces.
- Enforce source admission during marketplace add, plugin install, and
configured Git marketplace upgrade.
- Continue upgrading independent marketplaces when one source is
rejected and return a per-marketplace error.
- Load the effective requirements stack at CLI, app-server, and
external-agent migration entry points.
This PR does not filter already configured marketplaces at runtime; that
remains in draft follow-up #29691.
## Stack
This is PR 2 of 3 and is based on #29690, which introduces the
requirements data shape and merge behavior.
## Test plan
- Source matcher coverage for Git URL/ref, host-pattern, local-path, and
managed marketplace cases.
- Marketplace add and plugin install coverage for allowed and rejected
sources.
- Marketplace upgrade coverage for rejection and per-marketplace
continuation.
## Why
Authentication mode is a domain concept used by login, model selection,
telemetry, and transports. Keeping the canonical type in app-server
protocol forces those lower-level crates to depend on an unrelated wire
API.
## What changed
- Added canonical `codex_protocol::auth::AuthMode` domain values.
- Kept the app-server wire DTO unchanged and added an explicit app-side
conversion.
- Removed production app-server-protocol dependencies from login,
model-provider-info, models-manager, and otel call paths.
## Stack
This is PR 2 of 6, stacked on [PR
#29714](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29714). Review only the
delta from `codex/split-json-rpc-protocols`. Next: [PR
#29722](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29722).
## Validation
- Auth and login coverage passed in the focused protocol/domain test
run.
- App-server account and auth conversion coverage passed.
## Summary
Stacked on #26706.
Adds the shared auth/system-proxy contract that later platform resolver
PRs plug into. This PR moves Codex-owned auth and startup HTTP clients
through a common route-aware boundary, but does not yet add Windows or
macOS system proxy resolution.
The default path remains unchanged when `respect_system_proxy` is absent
or disabled.
## Implementation
- Adds `codex-client/src/outbound_proxy.rs` with the shared
route-selection model:
- `OutboundProxyConfig`;
- `ClientRouteClass`;
- `RouteFailureClass`;
- `build_reqwest_client_for_route`.
- Preserves the existing reqwest/default-client behavior when no route
config is supplied.
- Uses the fixed MVP routing policy when route config is supplied:
platform system/PAC/WPAD discovery, then explicit env proxy variables,
then direct connection.
- Keeps platform-specific system discovery behind the shared client
boundary. This PR provides the contract and fallback behavior; later
resolver PRs plug in Windows and macOS discovery.
- Adds `login::AuthRouteConfig` so auth call sites depend on a small
policy type instead of platform resolver details.
- Maps the resolved `Config.respect_system_proxy` boolean into
`AuthRouteConfig` for auth-owned clients.
- Wires the route config through browser login, device-code login,
access-token login, login status, logout/revoke, token refresh, API-key
exchange, app-server account login, TUI/app startup, cloud-config
bootstrap, cloud tasks, plugin auth, and exec startup config loading.
## End-user behavior
- No behavior changes by default.
- When `respect_system_proxy = true`, auth-owned clients opt into the
shared route-aware client path.
- On platforms without a resolver implementation in this PR, system
discovery is unavailable and the route-aware path falls back to explicit
env proxy handling, then direct connection.
- Custom CA handling remains separate from proxy route selection and
still runs through the shared client builder.
- No proxy URLs, PAC contents, or resolved platform details are exposed
through the public config surface introduced here.
## Tests
Adds or updates coverage for:
- preserving default auth-client fallback behavior when no route config
is provided;
- injected environment-proxy fallback without mutating process
environment;
- existing login-server E2E flows using explicit `auth_route_config:
None` to guard unchanged default behavior;
- updated auth manager, login, logout, cloud-config, startup, and
plugin-auth call sites passing route config explicitly.
## Summary
- choose the local OpenAI curated marketplace manifest based on auth:
Codex backend auth gets the existing marketplace, direct provider auth
gets `api_marketplace.json`
- include Bedrock API key auth in the direct-provider API marketplace
path
- safely skip the API marketplace when `api_marketplace.json` is absent
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD`
- CI should run the full validation
## Manual Testing
### - New api marketplace not available for API key sign
1. Safely not display anything from api marketplace

/>
### - New api marketplace for API key sign in
1. Setup api_marketplace.json
```
{
"name": "openai-curated",
"interface": {
"displayName": "Codex official"
},
"plugins": [
{
"name": "linear",
"source": {
"source": "local",
"path": "./plugins/linear"
},
"policy": {
"installation": "AVAILABLE",
"authentication": "ON_INSTALL"
},
"category": "Productivity"
}
]
}
```
2. Log in with API key, observe that only the defined plugin from
api_marketplace.json is available from "Codex Official" (outside of
local testing marketplaces)

## Notes
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` was started locally before splitting
branches, but I stopped relying on local tests per follow-up and left
final validation to PR CI.
## Summary
- skip the local `openai-curated` marketplace before marketplace loading
when tool-suggest discovery uses remote plugins
- preserve existing marketplace listing behavior for all other callers
and when remote plugins are disabled
- add regression coverage proving the curated marketplace is excluded
before its malformed manifest can be read
## Why
Tool-suggest discovery previously loaded every local `openai-curated`
plugin manifest and only discarded that marketplace afterward when
remote plugins were enabled. The remote catalog is used in that mode, so
the local scan consumed CPU without contributing discoverable plugins.
## Impact
Remote-plugin tool suggestion discovery no longer reads the local
curated marketplace and its plugin manifests. `openai-bundled`,
configured marketplaces, normal `plugin/list` behavior, and local
curated discovery when remote plugins are disabled are unchanged.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins
list_marketplaces_can_skip_openai_curated_before_loading`
- `just test -p codex-core
list_tool_suggest_discoverable_plugins_omits_openai_curated_when_remote_enabled`
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
- add `--json` output to `codex plugin list` with `installed` and
`available` arrays
- add `--available` for JSON output only; using it without `--json` is
rejected
- keep the existing non-JSON table output unchanged
- add CLI coverage for JSON installed/available output and the
`--available`/`--json` requirement
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-cli plugin_list`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
- `git diff --check`
Note: `just fmt` ran Rust formatting first, then failed in the Python
ruff step because `openai-codex-cli-bin==0.132.0` has no wheel for this
Linux platform.
## Summary
- render `codex plugin list` as one table per marketplace with the
marketplace manifest path shown above each table
- surface the installed plugin version in the CLI output by threading
`installed_version` through marketplace listing state
- narrow the system-root exemption so only known bundled/runtime
marketplaces skip missing-manifest failures, and keep `VERSION` empty
for cached-but-unconfigured plugins
## Rationale
The plugin list UX was hard to scan as a flat list and did not show
which installed version was active. This change makes the CLI output
easier to read in the real multi-marketplace case, keeps the plugin path
visible, fixes the Sapphire regression where bundled/runtime marketplace
roots were blocking `plugin list`, and addresses the two review findings
that came out of the follow-up deep review.
## Key Decisions
- kept the CLI output grouped per marketplace instead of one global
table so the marketplace path can live with the rows it owns
- kept `VERSION` as the installed version, which means it is empty until
a plugin is actually installed
- handled the bundled/runtime regression in the CLI snapshot validation
path rather than widening app-server protocol or changing marketplace
loading behavior
- narrowed the exemption to known system marketplace names plus expected
system paths, so user-configured marketplaces under those directories
still fail loudly
- gated `installed_version` on actual installed state so `VERSION`
cannot show stale cache state for `not installed` rows
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Sapphire: `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli` (`14 passed; 0
failed`)
- Sapphire smoke test: bundled/runtime roots still work
- `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin add sample@debug`
- `cargo run -q -p codex-cli -- plugin list`
- verified the bundled/runtime-root scenario no longer errors and shows
the expected marketplace table output
- Sapphire smoke test: custom marketplace under bundled path still
errors
- verified `failed to load configured marketplace snapshot(s)` for
`custom-marketplace`
- Sapphire smoke test: cached-but-unconfigured plugin hides version
- verified `sample@debug not installed` renders with an empty `VERSION`
column
## Sample Output
```text
/tmp/custom-marketplace/plugin.json
NAME VERSION STATUS DESCRIPTION
sample@debug 1.0.0 enabled Debug sample plugin
other@local not installed Local development plugin
```
## Why
PR #21396 merged after #17141 removed the old
`ConfigLayerStack::get_user_layer()` API. The new plugin CLI call sites
still used that stale API, which caused `main` to fail compilation.
## What Changed
- update `codex plugin marketplace list` to read configured marketplaces
through `get_active_user_layer()`
- update the plugin snapshot validation helper to use
`get_active_user_layer()`
This preserves the intended active writable user-layer behavior from the
profile-aware config API while fixing the stale call sites.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Plugin CLI installs should behave more like `apt-get install`:
configured marketplaces are the only install sources, the local
marketplace snapshot is the package index used at install time, and
`plugins/cache` is only a cache of already-downloaded plugin bytes.
That distinction matters once marketplaces and plugins have auth or
availability state. A repo-local marketplace manifest or leftover cached
plugin artifact should not silently become an install source unless the
marketplace was explicitly configured and its readable snapshot still
authorizes the plugin.
## What Changed
- add CLI commands to list configured marketplaces and add, list, or
remove marketplace plugins
- accept stable `plugin@marketplace` ids for add/remove while preserving
the explicit `--marketplace` form
- restrict `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` to configured
marketplaces instead of also discovering current-working-directory
marketplace roots
- fail `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` when a configured
marketplace snapshot is missing or malformed instead of treating it as
an empty source or a generic plugin miss
- preserve marketplace snapshot semantics: a configured local/Git
marketplace snapshot can authorize installs without consulting the
original upstream source
- allow `plugins/cache` reuse only after configured marketplace
resolution succeeds
- keep removal resilient after marketplace deletion or drift and ignore
malformed marketplace config entries in listing

## Public Semantics
- `codex plugin add <plugin>@<marketplace>` succeeds only when
`<marketplace>` is configured and its local marketplace snapshot
contains `<plugin>`
- repo-local marketplaces are not install sources until the user runs
`codex plugin marketplace add ...`
- configured marketplace snapshots must be readable; missing or
malformed snapshots fail the CLI operation rather than silently falling
through to cache or empty results
- cached plugin artifacts can satisfy reinstall only when the configured
marketplace snapshot still authorizes that plugin
- cached plugin artifacts alone never make a plugin installable
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-cli --tests -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `git diff --check`
