• core: limit search_tool_bm25 to Apps and clarify discovery guidance (#11669)

  ## Summary
  - Limit `search_tool_bm25` indexing to `codex_apps` tools only, so
  non-Apps MCP servers are no longer discoverable through this search
  path.
  - Move search-tool discovery guidance into the `search_tool_bm25` tool
  description (via template include) instead of injecting it as a separate
  developer message.
  - Update Apps discovery guidance wording to clarify when to use
  `search_tool_bm25` for Apps-backed systems (for example Slack, Google
  Drive, Jira, Notion) and when to call tools directly.
  - Remove dead `core` helper code (`filter_codex_apps_mcp_tools` and
  `codex_apps_connector_id`) that is no longer used after the
  tool-selection refactor.
  - Update `core` search-tool tests to assert codex-apps-only behavior and
  to validate guidance from the tool description.
  
  ## Validation
  - ✅ `just fmt`
  - ✅ `cargo test -p codex-core search_tool`
  - ⚠️ `cargo test -p codex-core` was attempted, but the run repeatedly
  stalled on
  `tools::js_repl::tests::js_repl_can_attach_image_via_view_image_tool`.

• Persist complete TurnContextItem state via canonical conversion (#11656)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR delivers the first small, shippable step toward model-visible
  state diffing by making
  `TurnContextItem` more complete and standardizing how it is built.
  
  Specifically, it:
  - Adds persisted network context to `TurnContextItem`.
  - Introduces a single canonical `TurnContext -> TurnContextItem`
  conversion path.
  - Routes existing rollout write sites through that canonical conversion
  helper.
  
  No context injection/diff behavior changes are included in this PR.
  
  ## Why this change
  
  The design goal is to make `TurnContextItem` the canonical source of
  truth for context-diff
  decisions.
  Before this PR:
  - `TurnContextItem` did not include all TurnContext-derived environment
  inputs needed for v1
  completeness.
  - Construction was duplicated at multiple write sites.
  
  This PR addresses both with a minimal, reviewable change.
  
  ## Changes
  
  ### 1) Extend `TurnContextItem` with network state
  - Added `TurnContextNetworkItem { allowed_domains, denied_domains }`.
  - Added `network: Option<TurnContextNetworkItem>` to `TurnContextItem`.
  - Kept backward compatibility by making the new field optional and
  skipped when absent.
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`
  
  ### 2) Canonical conversion helper
  - Added `TurnContext::to_turn_context_item(collaboration_mode)` in core.
  - Added internal helper to derive network fields from
  `config_layer_stack.requirements().network`.
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
  
  ### 3) Use canonical conversion at rollout write sites
  - Replaced ad hoc `TurnContextItem { ... }` construction with
  `to_turn_context_item(...)` in:
    - sampling request path
    - compaction path
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
  - `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
  
  ### 4) Update fixtures/tests for new optional field
  - Updated existing `TurnContextItem` literals in tests to include
  `network: None`.
  - Added protocol tests for:
    - deserializing old payloads with no `network`
    - serializing when `network` is present
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/resume_warning.rs`
  - No replay/diff logic changes.
  - Persisted rollout `TurnContextItem` now carries additional network
  context when available.
  - Older rollout lines without `network` remain readable.

• feat: introduce Permissions (#11633)

  ## Why
  We currently carry multiple permission-related concepts directly on
  `Config` for shell/unified-exec behavior (`approval_policy`,
  `sandbox_policy`, `network`, `shell_environment_policy`,
  `windows_sandbox_mode`).
  
  Consolidating these into one in-memory struct makes permission handling
  easier to reason about and sets up the next step: supporting named
  permission profiles (`[permissions.PROFILE_NAME]`) without changing
  behavior now.
  
  This change is mostly mechanical: it updates existing callsites to go
  through `config.permissions`, but it does not yet refactor those
  callsites to take a single `Permissions` value in places where multiple
  permission fields are still threaded separately.
  
  This PR intentionally **does not** change the on-disk `config.toml`
  format yet and keeps compatibility with legacy config keys.
  
  ## What Changed
  - Introduced `Permissions` in `core/src/config/mod.rs`.
  - Added `Config::permissions` and moved effective runtime permission
  fields under it:
    - `approval_policy`
    - `sandbox_policy`
    - `network`
    - `shell_environment_policy`
    - `windows_sandbox_mode`
  - Updated config loading/building so these effective values are still
  derived from the same existing config inputs and constraints.
  - Updated Windows sandbox helpers/resolution to read/write via
  `permissions`.
  - Threaded the new field through all permission consumers across core
  runtime, app-server, CLI/exec, TUI, and sandbox summary code.
  - Updated affected tests to reference `config.permissions.*`.
  - Renamed the struct/field from
  `EffectivePermissions`/`effective_permissions` to
  `Permissions`/`permissions` and aligned variable naming accordingly.
  
  ## Verification
  - `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server
  -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
  - `cargo build -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p
  codex-app-server -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`

  ## Summary
  In an effort to start simplifying our sandbox setup, we're announcing
  this approval_policy as deprecated. In general, it performs worse than
  `on-request`, and we're focusing on making fewer sandbox configurations
  perform much better.
  
  ## Testing

• feat(app-server): experimental flag to persist extended history (#11227)

  This PR adds an experimental `persist_extended_history` bool flag to
  app-server thread APIs so rollout logs can retain a richer set of
  EventMsgs for non-lossy Thread > Turn > ThreadItems reconstruction (i.e.
  on `thread/resume`).
  
  ### Motivation
  Today, our rollout recorder only persists a small subset (e.g. user
  message, reasoning, assistant message) of `EventMsg` types, dropping a
  good number (like command exec, file change, etc.) that are important
  for reconstructing full item history for `thread/resume`, `thread/read`,
  and `thread/fork`.
  
  Some clients want to be able to resume a thread without lossiness. This
  lossiness is primarily a UI thing, since what the model sees are
  `ResponseItem` and not `EventMsg`.
  
  ### Approach
  This change introduces an opt-in `persist_full_history` flag to preserve
  those events when you start/resume/fork a thread (defaults to `false`).
  
  This is done by adding an `EventPersistenceMode` to the rollout
  recorder:
  - `Limited` (existing behavior, default)
  - `Extended` (new opt-in behavior)
  
  In `Extended` mode, persist additional `EventMsg` variants needed for
  non-lossy app-server `ThreadItem` reconstruction. We now store the
  following ThreadItems that we didn't before:
  - web search
  - command execution
  - patch/file changes
  - MCP tool calls
  - image view calls
  - collab tool outcomes
  - context compaction
  - review mode enter/exit
  
  For **command executions** in particular, we truncate the output using
  the existing `truncate_text` from core to store an upper bound of 10,000
  bytes, which is also the default value for truncating tool outputs shown
  to the model. This keeps the size of the rollout file and command
  execution items returned over the wire reasonable.
  
  And we also persist `EventMsg::Error` which we can now map back to the
  Turn's status and populates the Turn's error metadata.
  
  #### Updates to EventMsgs
  To truly make `thread/resume` non-lossy, we also needed to persist the
  `status` on `EventMsg::CommandExecutionEndEvent` and
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyEndEvent`. Previously it was not obvious whether a
  command failed or was declined (similar for apply_patch). These
  EventMsgs were never persisted before so I made it a required field.

• Parse first order skill/connector mentions (#11547)

  This PR introduces a skill-expansion mechanism for mentions so nested or
  skill or connection mentions are expanded if present in skills invoked
  by the user. This keeps behavior aligned with existing mention handling
  while extending coverage to deeper scenarios. With these changes, users
  can create skills that invoke connectors, and skills that invoke other
  skills.

• Add feature-gated freeform js_repl core runtime (#10674)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR adds an **experimental, feature-gated `js_repl` core runtime**
  so models can execute JavaScript in a persistent REPL context across
  tool calls.
  
  The implementation integrates with existing feature gating, tool
  registration, prompt composition, config/schema docs, and tests.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added new experimental feature flag: `features.js_repl`.
  - Added freeform `js_repl` tool and companion `js_repl_reset` tool.
  - Gated tool availability behind `Feature::JsRepl`.
  - Added conditional prompt-section injection for JS REPL instructions
  via marker-based prompt processing.
  - Implemented JS REPL handlers, including freeform parsing and pragma
  support (timeout/reset controls).
  - Added runtime resolution order for Node:
    1. `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH`
    2. `js_repl_node_path` in config
    3. `PATH`
  - Added JS runtime assets/version files and updated docs/schema.
  
  ## Why
  
  This enables richer agent workflows that require incremental JavaScript
  execution with preserved state, while keeping rollout safe behind an
  explicit feature flag.
  
  ## Testing
  
  Coverage includes:
  
  - Feature-flag gating behavior for tool exposure.
  - Freeform parser/pragma handling edge cases.
  - Runtime behavior (state persistence across calls and top-level `await`
  support).
  
  ## Usage
  
  ```toml
  [features]
  js_repl = true
  ```
  
  Optional runtime override:
  
  - `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH`, or
  - `js_repl_node_path` in config.

• Remove test-support feature from codex-core and replace it with explicit test toggles (#11405)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-core` was being built in multiple feature-resolved permutations
  because test-only behavior was modeled as crate features. For a large
  crate, those permutations increase compile cost and reduce cache reuse.
  
  ## Net Change
  
  - Removed the `test-support` crate feature and related feature wiring so
  `codex-core` no longer needs separate feature shapes for test consumers.
  - Standardized cross-crate test-only access behind
  `codex_core::test_support`.
  - External test code now imports helpers from
  `codex_core::test_support`.
  - Underlying implementation hooks are kept internal (`pub(crate)`)
  instead of broadly public.
  
  ## Outcome
  
  - Fewer `codex-core` build permutations.
  - Better incremental cache reuse across test targets.
  - No intended production behavior change.

• chore: persist turn_id in rollout session and make turn_id uuid based (#11246)

  Problem:
  1. turn id is constructed in-memory;
  2. on resuming threads, turn_id might not be unique;
  3. client cannot no the boundary of a turn from rollout files easily.
  
  This PR does three things:
  1. persist `task_started` and `task_complete` events;
  1. persist `turn_id` in rollout turn events;
  5. generate turn_id as unique uuids instead of incrementing it in
  memory.
  
  This helps us resolve the issue of clients wanting to have unique turn
  ids for resuming a thread, and knowing the boundry of each turn in
  rollout files.
  
  example debug logs
  ```
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746876Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=8 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a07-d809-74c3-bc4b-fd9618487b4b", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-24", content: [Text { text: "hi", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-25", text: "Hi. I’m in the workspace with your current changes loaded and ready. Send the next task and I’ll execute it end-to-end." }], status: Completed, error: None }

Ready for the next change in `codex-rs`; I can continue from the current in-progress diff or start a new task." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746899Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=10 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a19-41f0-7db0-ad78-74f1503baeb8", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-28", content: [Text { text: "hello", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-29", text: "Hello. Send the specific change you want in `codex-rs`, and I’ll implement it and run the required checks." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  ```
  
  backward compatibility:
  if you try to resume an old session without task_started and
  task_complete event populated, the following happens:
  - If you resume and do nothing: those reconstructed historical IDs can
  differ next time you resume.
  - If you resume and send a new turn: the new turn gets a fresh UUID from
  live submission flow and is persisted, so that new turn’s ID is stable
  on later resumes.
  I think this behavior is fine, because we only care about deterministic
  turn id once a turn is triggered.

• Fix: update parallel tool call exec approval to approve on request id (#11162)

  ### Summary
  
  In parallel tool call, exec command approvals were not approved at
  request level but at a turn level. i.e. when a single request is
  approved, the system currently treats all requests in turn as approved.

• feat: retain NetworkProxy, when appropriate (#11207)

  As of this PR, `SessionServices` retains a
  `Option<StartedNetworkProxy>`, if appropriate.
  
  Now the `network` field on `Config` is `Option<NetworkProxySpec>`
  instead of `Option<NetworkProxy>`.
  
  Over in `Session::new()`, we invoke `NetworkProxySpec::start_proxy()` to
  create the `StartedNetworkProxy`, which is a new struct that retains the
  `NetworkProxy` as well as the `NetworkProxyHandle`. (Note that `Drop` is
  implemented for `NetworkProxyHandle` to ensure the proxies are shutdown
  when it is dropped.)
  
  The `NetworkProxy` from the `StartedNetworkProxy` is threaded through to
  the appropriate places.

• feat: search_tool (#10657)

  **Why We Did This**
  - The goal is to reduce MCP tool context pollution by not exposing the
  full MCP tool list up front
  - It forces an explicit discovery step (`search_tool_bm25`) so the model
  narrows tool scope before making MCP calls, which helps relevance and
  lowers prompt/tool clutter.
  
  **What It Changed**
  - Added a new experimental feature flag `search_tool` in
  `core/src/features.rs:90` and `core/src/features.rs:430`.
  - Added config/schema support for that flag in
  `core/config.schema.json:214` and `core/config.schema.json:1235`.
  - Added BM25 dependency (`bm25`) in `Cargo.toml:129` and
  `core/Cargo.toml:23`.
  - Added new tool handler `search_tool_bm25` in
  `core/src/tools/handlers/search_tool_bm25.rs:18`.
  - Registered the handler and tool spec in
  `core/src/tools/handlers/mod.rs:11` and `core/src/tools/spec.rs:780` and
  `core/src/tools/spec.rs:1344`.
  - Extended `ToolsConfig` to carry `search_tool` enablement in
  `core/src/tools/spec.rs:32` and `core/src/tools/spec.rs:56`.
  - Injected dedicated developer instructions for tool-discovery workflow
  in `core/src/codex.rs:483` and `core/src/codex.rs:1976`, using
  `core/templates/search_tool/developer_instructions.md:1`.
  - Added session state to store one-shot selected MCP tools in
  `core/src/state/session.rs:27` and `core/src/state/session.rs:131`.
  - Added filtering so when feature is enabled, only selected MCP tools
  are exposed on the next request (then consumed) in
  `core/src/codex.rs:3800` and `core/src/codex.rs:3843`.
  - Added E2E suite coverage for
  enablement/instructions/hide-until-search/one-turn-selection in
  `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:72`,
  `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:109`,
  `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:147`, and
  `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:218`.
  - Refactored test helper utilities to support config-driven tool
  collection in `core/tests/suite/tools.rs:281`.
  
  **Net Behavioral Effect**
  - With `search_tool` **off**: existing MCP behavior (tools exposed
  normally).
  - With `search_tool` **on**: MCP tools start hidden, model must call
  `search_tool_bm25`, and only returned `selected_tools` are available for
  the next model call.

• core: add focused diagnostics for remote compaction overflows (#11133)

  ## Summary
  - add targeted remote-compaction failure diagnostics in compact_remote
  logging
  - log the specific values needed to explain overflow timing:
    - last_api_response_total_tokens
    - estimated_tokens_of_items_added_since_last_successful_api_response
    - estimated_bytes_of_items_added_since_last_successful_api_response
    - failing_compaction_request_body_bytes
  - simplify breakdown naming and remove
  last_api_response_total_bytes_estimate (it was an approximation and not
  useful for debugging)
  
  ## Why
  When compaction fails with context_length_exceeded, we need concrete,
  low-ambiguity numbers that map directly to:
  1) what the API most recently reported, and
  2) what local history added since then.
  
  This keeps the failure logs actionable without adding broad, noisy
  metrics.
  
  ## Testing
  - just fmt
  - cargo test -p codex-core

• Move warmup to the task level (#11216)

  Instead of storing a special connection on the client level make the
  regular task responsible for establishing a normal client session and
  open a connection on it.
  
  Then when the turn is started we pass in a pre-established session.

• feat: do not close unified exec processes across turns (#10799)

  With this PR we do not close the unified exec processes (i.e. background
  terminals) at the end of a turn unless:
  * The user interrupt the turn
  * The user decide to clean the processes through `app-server` or
  `/clean`
  
  I made sure that `codex exec` correctly kill all the processes

• feat: include NetworkConfig through ExecParams (#11105)

  This PR adds the following field to `Config`:
  
  ```rust
  pub network: Option<NetworkProxy>,
  ```
  
  Though for the moment, it will always be initialized as `None` (this
  will be addressed in a subsequent PR).
  
  This PR does the work to thread `network` through to `execute_exec_env()`, `process_exec_tool_call()`, and `UnifiedExecRuntime.run()` to ensure it is available whenever we span a process.
