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

## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## Summary
- add experimental `thread/search` for local rollout-backed thread
search using `rg` over JSONL rollouts
- return search-specific result rows with optional previews instead of
storing preview data on `StoredThread` or ordinary `Thread` responses
- keep `thread/list` separate from full-content search and document the
new app-server surface
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_search_returns_content_and_title_matches -- --nocapture`
## Summary
- route each configured MCP server through an explicit per-server
`environment_id` instead of a manager-wide remote toggle
- default omitted `environment_id` to `local`, resolve named ids through
`EnvironmentManager`, and fail only the affected MCP server when an
explicit id is unknown
- keep local stdio on the existing local launcher path for now, while
named-environment stdio uses the selected environment backend and
requires an absolute `cwd`
- allow local HTTP MCP servers to keep using the ambient HTTP client
when no local `Environment` is configured; named-environment HTTP MCPs
use that environment's HTTP client
## Validation
- devbox Bazel build: `bazel build --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/cli:codex //codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_stdio_server
//codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_streamable_http_server`
- devbox app-server config matrix with real `config.toml` /
`environments.toml` files covering omitted local, explicit local,
omitted local under remote default, explicit remote stdio, local HTTP
without local env, explicit remote HTTP, local stdio without local env,
unknown explicit env, and remote stdio without `cwd`
## Why
App-server clients need a way to update a thread's next-turn settings
without starting a turn, adding transcript content, or waiting for turn
lifecycle events. This gives settings UI a direct path for durable
thread settings while clients observe the eventual effective state
through a notification.
This is a simplified rework of PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22509. In particular, it changes
the `thread/settings/update` api to return immediately rather than
waiting and returning the effective (updated) thread settings. This
makes the new api consistent with `turn/start` and greatly reduces the
complexity of the implementation relative to the earlier attempt.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental `thread/settings/update` with partial-update request
fields and an empty acknowledgment response.
- Adds experimental `thread/settings/updated`, carrying full effective
`ThreadSettings` and scoped by `threadId` to subscribed clients for the
affected thread.
- Shares durable settings validation with `turn/start`, including
`sandboxPolicy` plus `permissions` rejection and `serviceTier: null`
clearing.
- Emits the same settings notification when `turn/start` overrides
change the stored effective thread settings.
- Regenerates app-server protocol schema fixtures and updates
`app-server/README.md`.
## Why
Pressing `Ctrl+C` or `Ctrl+D` in the TUI could make Codex pause during
shutdown when app-server background work still held outbound sender
clones.
Shutdown tracing against the current `~/.codex` path found three
relevant holders:
- `SkillsWatcher` kept its event-loop task alive until the shutdown
timeout path.
- `AppServerAttestationProvider` retained a strong
`Arc<OutgoingMessageSender>`, which could keep outbound teardown waiting
after the processor task had exited.
- A background `apps/list` task could still own an outbound sender when
shutdown began, causing the in-process app-server runtime to wait for
its outbound channel to close.
## What Changed
- Give `SkillsWatcher` an explicit shutdown `CancellationToken` and
cancel it from app-server teardown so its event loop drops the outbound
sender promptly.
- Change `AppServerAttestationProvider` to keep a
`Weak<OutgoingMessageSender>` and return immediately when it can no
longer be upgraded.
- Give `AppsRequestProcessor` a shutdown `CancellationToken` and cancel
in-flight background `apps/list` work during teardown.
## How to Test
1. Start Codex TUI from a real home configuration.
2. Press `Ctrl+C`.
3. Confirm Codex exits promptly instead of pausing during shutdown.
4. Repeat with `Ctrl+D` and confirm the same prompt exit path.
Focused manual trace validation from the investigation:
- Before the full fix, reproduced shutdown traces showed outbound
teardown waiting on lingering owners, including `attestation.provider=1`
and later `apps.list.task=1`.
- After the fix, fresh real-home `Ctrl+D` traces showed
`app_server.runtime.outbound_state_after_processor_join` with
`owners=none`, `app_server.runtime.wait_outbound_handle = 0ms`, and
total TUI app-server shutdown around `18ms`.
Targeted validation:
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-app-server`
## Why
Clients need a typed permission-profile catalog instead of
reconstructing that state from config internals.
## What changed
- Added `permissionProfile/list` to the app-server v2 protocol with
cursor pagination and optional `cwd`.
- The list response includes built-in permission profiles plus
config-defined `[permissions.<id>]` profiles from the effective config
for the request context.
- Permission profiles keep optional `description` metadata for display
purposes.
- App-server docs and schema fixtures are updated for the new RPC.
## Why
App and skill toggles are user config mutations too. When the TUI is
attached to a remote app server, writing those toggles into the local
`config.toml` makes the UI report success without updating the server
that actually owns the session.
This is **[2 of 4]** in a stacked series that moves TUI-owned config
mutations onto app-server APIs.
## What changed
- Routed app enable/disable persistence through app-server config batch
writes.
- Routed skill enable/disable persistence through `skills/config/write`.
- Avoided refreshing local config from disk after these writes when the
TUI is connected to a remote app server.
## Config keys affected
- `apps.<app_id>.enabled`
- `apps.<app_id>.disabled_reason`
- `[[skills.config]]` entries keyed by `path`, with `enabled = false`
used for persisted disables
## Suggested manual validation
- Connect the TUI to a remote app server, disable an app, reconnect, and
confirm the app remains disabled from remote config rather than local
disk state.
- Re-enable the same app and confirm both `apps.<app_id>.enabled` and
`apps.<app_id>.disabled_reason` are cleared remotely.
- Disable a skill in the manage-skills UI and confirm a remote
`[[skills.config]]` disable entry appears.
- Re-enable that skill and confirm the disable entry is removed and the
effective enabled state updates without relying on local config reloads.

## Summary
The first three PRs in this stack are a cleanup pass before the actual
thread settings API work.
Today, core has several overlapping "user input" ops: `UserInput`,
`UserInputWithTurnContext`, and `UserTurn`. They differ mostly in how
much next-turn state they carry, which makes the later queued thread
settings update harder to reason about and review.
This PR starts that cleanup by adding the shared
`ThreadSettingsOverrides` payload and allowing `Op::UserInput` to carry
it. Existing variants remain in place here, so this layer is mostly a
behavior-preserving API shape change plus mechanical constructor
updates.
## End State After PR3
By the end of PR3, `Op::UserInput` is the only "user input" core op. It
can carry optional thread settings overrides for callers that need to
update stored defaults with a turn, while callers without updates use
empty settings. `Op::UserInputWithTurnContext` and `Op::UserTurn` are
deleted.
## End State After PR5
By the end of PR5, core will have only two ops for this area:
- `Op::UserInput` for user-input-bearing submissions.
- `Op::ThreadSettings` for settings-only updates.

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

## Summary
- add app-server `plugin/installed` for mention-oriented plugin loading
- return installed plugins plus explicitly requested install-suggestion
rows
- keep remote handling on installed-state data instead of the broad
catalog listing path
## Why
The `@` mention surface only needs plugins that are usable now, plus a
small product-approved set of install suggestions. It does not need the
full catalog-shaped `plugin/list` payload that the Plugins page uses.
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core-plugins`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all plugin_installed_`
## Notes
- The package-wide `cargo test -p codex-app-server` run still hits an
existing unrelated stack overflow in
`in_process::tests::in_process_start_clamps_zero_channel_capacity`.
- Companion webview PR: https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/915672
## Why
The app server API should expose permission profile identity, not the
lower-level runtime permission model. `PermissionProfile` is the
compiled sandbox/network representation that the server uses internally;
exposing it through app-server-protocol forces clients to understand
details that should remain implementation-level.
The API boundary should prefer `ActivePermissionProfile`: a stable
profile id, plus future parent-profile metadata, that clients can pass
back when they want to select the same active permissions. This also
avoids schema generation collisions between the app-server v2 API type
space and the core protocol model.
Incidentally, while PR makes a number of changes to `command/exec`, note
that we are hoping to deprecate this API in favor of `process/spawn`, so
we don't need to be too finicky about these changes.
## What Changed
- Removed `PermissionProfile` from the app-server-protocol API surface,
including generated schema and TypeScript exports.
- Changed `CommandExecParams.permissionProfile` to
`ActivePermissionProfile`.
- Resolve command exec profile ids through `ConfigManager` for the
command cwd, matching turn override selection semantics.
- Updated downstream TUI tests/helpers to use core permission types
directly instead of app-server-protocol `PermissionProfile` shims.
## Why
This PR builds on [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610)
and is the app-server side of the migration from mutable per-turn
`SandboxPolicy` replacement toward selecting immutable permission
profiles by id plus mutable runtime workspace roots.
Once permission profiles can carry their own immutable
`workspace_roots`, app-server no longer needs to mutate the selected
`PermissionProfile` just to represent thread-specific filesystem
context. The mutable part now lives on the thread as explicit
`runtimeWorkspaceRoots`, while `:workspace_roots` remains symbolic until
the sandbox is realized for a turn.
## What Changed
- Replaced the v2 permission-selection wrapper surface with plain
profile ids for `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and
`turn/start`.
- Removed the API surface for profile modifications
(`PermissionProfileSelectionParams`,
`PermissionProfileModificationParams`,
`ActivePermissionProfileModification`).
- Added experimental `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` fields to the thread
lifecycle and turn-start APIs.
- Threaded runtime workspace roots through core session/thread
snapshots, turn overrides, app-server request handling, and command
execution permission resolution.
- Kept session permission state symbolic so later runtime root updates
and cwd-only implicit-root retargeting rebind `:workspace_roots`
correctly.
- Updated the embedded clients just enough to send and restore the new
thread state.
- Refreshed the generated schema/TypeScript artifacts and the app-server
README to match the new contract.
## Verification
Targeted coverage for this layer lives in:
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_start.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_resume.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/session/tests.rs`
The key regression checks exercise that:
- `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` resolve against the effective cwd on thread
start.
- Profile-declared workspace roots are excluded from the runtime
workspace roots returned by app-server.
- A turn-level runtime workspace-root update persists onto the thread
and is returned by `thread/resume`.
- A named permission profile selected on one turn remains symbolic so a
later runtime-root-only turn update changes the actual sandbox writes.
- A cwd-only turn update retargets the implicit runtime cwd root while
preserving additional runtime roots.
- The protocol fixtures and generated client artifacts stay in sync with
the string-based permission selection contract.

## Why
reapplies https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22386 which was
previously reverted
Also, introduce `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
app-server APIs to toggle on/off remote control at runtime for a given
running app-server instance.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental v2 RPCs:
- `remoteControl/enable`
- `remoteControl/disable`
- Adds `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and routes the new RPCs through
it instead of `ConfigRequestProcessor`.
- Adds named `RemoteControlHandle::enable`, `disable`, and `status`
methods.
- Makes `remoteControl/enable` return an error when sqlite state DB is
unavailable, while keeping enrollment/websocket failures as async status
updates.
- Adds `AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and hidden
`--remote-control` flags for `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`.
- Updates managed daemon startup to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://`.
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as removed and ignores
`[features].remote_control`.
- Updates app-server README entries for the new remote-control methods.
## Why
Users and support need a single command that captures the local Codex
runtime, configuration, auth, terminal, network, and state shape without
asking the user to know which diagnostic depth to choose first. `codex
doctor` now runs the useful checks by default and makes the detailed
human output the default because the command is usually run when someone
already needs context.
The command also targets concrete support failure modes we have seen
while iterating on the design:
- update-target mismatches like #21956, where the installed package
manager target can differ from the running executable
- terminal and multiplexer issues that depend on `TERM`, tmux/zellij
state, color handling, and TTY metadata
- provider-specific HTTP/WebSocket connectivity, including ChatGPT
WebSocket handshakes and API-key/provider endpoint reachability
- local state/log SQLite integrity problems and large rollout
directories
- feedback reports that need an attached, redacted diagnostic snapshot
without asking the user to run a second command
## What Changed
- Adds `codex doctor` as a grouped CLI diagnostic report with default
detailed output and `--summary` for the compact view.
- Adds stable report sections for Environment, Configuration, Updates,
Connectivity, and Background Server, plus a top Notes block that
promotes anomalies such as available updates, large rollout directories,
optional MCP issues, and mixed auth signals.
- Adds runtime provenance, install consistency, bundled/system search
readiness, terminal/multiplexer metadata, `config.toml` parse status,
auth mode details, sandbox details, feature flag summaries, update
cache/latest-version state, app-server daemon state, SQLite integrity
checks, rollout statistics, and provider-aware network diagnostics.
- Adds ChatGPT WebSocket diagnostics that report the negotiated HTTP
upgrade as `HTTP 101 Switching Protocols` and include timeout, DNS,
auth, and provider context in detailed output.
- Makes reachability provider-aware: API-key OpenAI setups check the API
endpoint, ChatGPT auth checks the ChatGPT path, and custom/AWS/local
providers check configured HTTP endpoints when available.
- Adds structured, redacted JSON output where `checks` is keyed by check
id and `details` is a key/value object for support tooling.
- Integrates doctor with feedback uploads by attaching a best-effort
`codex-doctor-report.json` report and adding derived Sentry tags for
overall status and failing/warning checks.
- Updates the TUI feedback consent copy so users can see that the doctor
report is included when logs/diagnostics are uploaded.
- Updates the CLI bug issue template to ask reporters for `codex doctor
--json` and render pasted reports as JSON.
## Example Output
The examples below are sanitized from local smoke runs with `--no-color`
so the structure is reviewable in plain text.

/>
## How to Test
1. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --no-color`.
2. Confirm the detailed report is the default and includes promoted
Notes, grouped sections, terminal details, state DB integrity, rollout
stats, provider reachability, WebSocket diagnostics, and app-server
status.
3. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --summary --no-color`.
4. Confirm the compact view keeps the same sections and summary counts
but omits detailed key/value rows.
5. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --json`.
6. Confirm the output is redacted JSON, `checks` is an object keyed by
check id, and each check's `details` is a key/value object.
7. Preview the CLI bug issue template and confirm the `Codex doctor
report` field appears after the terminal field, asks for `codex doctor
--json`, and renders pasted output as JSON.
8. Start a feedback flow that includes logs.
9. Confirm the upload consent copy lists `codex-doctor-report.json`
alongside the log attachments.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-cli doctor`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
doctor_report_tags_summarize_status_counts`
- `cargo test -p codex-feedback`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui feedback_view`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `git diff --check`
Adds plugin/share/checkout to turn a shared remote plugin into a local
working copy under ~/plugins/<name>.
Registers the copy in the managed personal marketplace and records the
remote-to-local mapping for later share/save flows.

- make ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata accept a broad range of
metadata patches
- keep ThreadStore::append_items as raw canonical history append (no
metadata side effects)
- in the local store, write these metadata updates to a combination of
sqlite and rollout jsonl files for backwards-compat. It special cases
which fields need to go into jsonl vs sqlite vs whatever, confining the
awkwardness to just this implementation
- in remote stores we can simply persist the metadata directly to a
database, no special casing required.
- move the "implicit metadata updates triggered by appending rollout
items" from the RolloutRecorder (which is local-threadstore-specific) to
the LiveThread layer above the ThreadStore, inside of a private helper
utility called ThreadMetadataSync. LiveThread calls ThreadStore
append_items and update_metadata separately.
- Add a generic update metadata method to ThreadManager that works on
both live threads and "cold" threads
- Call that ThreadManager method from app server code, so app server
doesn't need to worry about whether the thread is live or not
## Summary
Remote clients can still receive large `thread/resume` histories when
prior turns include MCP tool call payloads or image-generation results.
This adds a temporary response-only redaction path for the known remote
client names.
Longer term we will move towards fully paginated APIs backed by SQLite.
## Changes
- Redact MCP tool call payload-bearing fields in `thread/resume`
responses for `codex_chatgpt_android_remote` and
`codex_chatgpt_ios_remote`.
- Drop `imageGeneration` items from those `thread/resume` responses.
- Keep redaction out of persisted rollout files, `thread/read`,
`thread/turns/list`, live notifications, and token usage replay.
- Cover the behavior with app-server helper tests and a v2 resume
integration test that checks both remote clients plus a non-target
control client.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_resume_redaction`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_resume_redacts_payloads_for_chatgpt_remote_clients`
## Summary
- add SQLite init, backfill-gate, and fallback telemetry without
introducing a cross-cutting state-db access wrapper
- install one process-scoped telemetry sink after OTEL startup and let
low-level state/rollout paths emit through it directly
- add process-start metrics for the process owners that initialize
SQLite

## Why
PR #21460 reverted the earlier move of skills change watching from
`codex-core` into app-server. This reapplies that boundary change so
app-server owns client-facing `skills/changed` notifications and core no
longer carries the watcher.
## What
- Restore the app-server `SkillsWatcher` and register it from thread
listener setup.
- Remove the core-owned skills watcher and its core live-reload
integration surface.
- Restore app-server coverage for `skills/changed` notifications after a
watched skill file changes.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
suite::v2::skills_list::skills_changed_notification_is_emitted_after_skill_change
-- --exact --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib --no-run`
## Summary
Support registry-backed remote executors end to end so downstream
services can resolve an executor id into an exec-server URL and make
that environment available to Codex without relying on the legacy cloud
environments flow.
## What changed
- switch remote executor registration to the executor registry bootstrap
contract
- allow named remote environments to be inserted into
`EnvironmentManager` at runtime
- add the experimental app-server RPC `environment/add` so initialized
experimental clients can register those remote environments for later
`thread/start` and `turn/start` selection
## Validation
Ran focused validation locally:
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server environment_manager_`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server
register_executor_posts_with_bearer_token_header`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Summary
TL;DR: teaches `codex-rs` / app-server to request a desktop-provided
attestation token and attach it as `x-oai-attestation` on the scoped
ChatGPT Codex request paths.
## Details
This PR teaches the Codex app-server runtime how to request and attach
an attestation token. It does not generate DeviceCheck tokens directly;
instead, it relies on the connected desktop app to advertise that it can
generate attestation and then asks that app for a fresh header value
when needed.
The flow is:
1. The Codex desktop app connects to app-server.
2. During `initialize`, the app can advertise that it supports
`requestAttestation`.
3. Before app-server calls selected ChatGPT Codex endpoints, it sends
the internal server request `attestation/generate` to the app.
4. app-server receives a pre-encoded header value back.
5. app-server forwards that value as `x-oai-attestation` on the scoped
outbound requests.
The code in this repo is mostly protocol and runtime plumbing: it adds
the app-server request/response shape, introduces an attestation
provider in core, wires that provider into Responses / compaction /
realtime setup paths, and covers the intended scoping with tests. The
signed macOS DeviceCheck generation remains owned by the desktop app PR.

<summary>E2E DeviceCheck validation</summary>
First validated the signed desktop app boundary directly: launched a
packaged signed `Codex.app`, sent `attestation/generate`, decoded the
returned `v1.` attestation header, and validated the extracted
DeviceCheck token with `personal/jm/verify_devicecheck_token.py` using
bundle ID `com.openai.codex`. Apple returned `status_code: 200` and
`is_ok: true`.
Then ran the fuller app + app-server flow. The packaged `Codex.app`
launched a current-branch app-server via `CODEX_CLI_PATH`, and a local
MITM proxy intercepted outbound `chatgpt.com` traffic. The app-server
requested `attestation/generate` from the real Electron app process, and
the intercepted `/backend-api/codex/responses` traffic included
`x-oai-attestation` on both routes:
```text
GET /backend-api/codex/responses Upgrade: websocket x-oai-attestation: present
POST /backend-api/codex/responses Upgrade: none x-oai-attestation: present
```
The captured header decoded to a DeviceCheck token that also validated
with Apple for `com.openai.codex` (`status_code: 200`, `is_ok: true`,
team `2DC432GLL2`).

Requires discoverability on plugin/share/updateTargets so the server can
manage workspace link access consistently, including auto-adding the
workspace principal for UNLISTED.
Also rejects LISTED on share creation and blocks client-supplied
workspace principals while preserving response parsing for LISTED.
## Why
The goal of this PR is to align on app-server and `ThreadStore` API
updates for paginating through large threads.
#### app-server
##### `thread/turns/list`
- Updates `thread/turns/list` to support `itemsView?: "notLoaded" |
"summary" | "full" | null`, defaulting to `summary`.
- Implements the current `thread/turns/list` behavior over the existing
persisted rollout-history fallback:
- `notLoaded` returns turn envelopes with empty `items`.
- `summary` returns the first user message and final assistant message
when available.
- `full` preserves the existing full item behavior.
Note that this method still uses the naive approach of loading the
entire rollout file, and returns just the filtered slice of the data.
Real pagination will come later by leveraging SQLite.
##### `thread/turns/items/list`
- Adds the experimental `thread/turns/items/list` protocol, schema,
dispatcher, and processor stub. The app-server currently returns
JSON-RPC `-32601` with `thread/turns/items/list is not supported yet`.
#### ThreadStore
- Adds the experimental `thread/turns/items/list` protocol, schema,
dispatcher, and processor stub. The app-server currently returns
JSON-RPC `-32601` with `thread/turns/items/list is not supported yet`.
- Adds `ThreadStore` contract types and stubbed methods for listing
thread turns and listing items within a turn.
- Adds a typed `StoredTurnStatus` and `StoredTurnError` to avoid baking
app-server API enums or lossy string status values into the store-facing
turn contract.
- Adds a typed `StoredTurnStatus` and `StoredTurnError` to avoid baking
app-server API enums or lossy string status values into the store-facing
turn contract.
This also sketches the storage abstraction we expect to need once turns
are indexed/stored. In particular, `notLoaded` is useful only if
ThreadStore can eventually list turn metadata without loading every
persisted item for each turn.
## Validation
- Added/updated protocol serialization coverage for the new request and
response shapes.
- Added app-server integration coverage for `thread/turns/list` default
summary behavior and all three `itemsView` modes.
- Added app-server integration coverage that `thread/turns/items/list`
returns the expected unsupported JSON-RPC error when experimental APIs
are enabled.
- Added thread-store coverage that the default trait methods return
`ThreadStoreError::Unsupported`.
No developers.openai.com documentation update is needed for this
internal experimental app-server API surface.
## Summary
Fix `getConversationSummary` so thread-id summaries work for stored
threads that do not have a local rollout path, such as remote thread
stores.
The root cause was that `summary_from_stored_thread` returned `None`
when `StoredThread.rollout_path` was absent, and
`get_thread_summary_response_inner` treated that as an internal error.
This made conversation-id lookups depend on a local-only field even
though the thread store can address the thread by id.
- Route live thread renames through `ThreadStore` metadata updates.
- Read resumed thread names from store metadata with legacy local
fallback preserved in the store.
Adds marketplaceKinds to plugin/list for local, workspace-directory, and
shared-with-me; omitted params keep default local plus gated global
behavior, while explicit kinds are exact.
Exposes shareContext on plugin summaries from local share mappings and
remote workspace/shared responses, including remotePluginId and nullable
creator metadata.
Adds shared-with-me listing through /ps/plugins/workspace/shared,
renames the workspace remote namespace to workspace-directory, and keeps
direct remote read/share/install/update/delete paths gated by plugins
rather than remote_plugin.
## Why
Skills update notifications are app-server API behavior, but the watcher
lived in `codex-core` and surfaced through
`EventMsg::SkillsUpdateAvailable`. Moving the watcher out keeps core
focused on thread execution and lets app-server own both cache
invalidation and the `skills/changed` notification.
## What changed
- Added an app-server-owned skills watcher that watches local skill
roots, clears the shared skills cache, and emits `skills/changed`
directly.
- Registers skill watches from the common app-server thread listener
attach path, including direct starts, resumes, and app-server-observed
child or forked threads.
- Stores the `WatchRegistration` on `ThreadState`, so listener
replacement, thread teardown, idle unload, and app-server shutdown
deregister by dropping the RAII guard.
- Removed `EventMsg::SkillsUpdateAvailable`, the core watcher, and the
old core live-reload test.
- Extended the app-server skills change test to verify a cached skills
list is refreshed after a filesystem change without forcing reload.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-server -p

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server

# Overview
MCP refreshes were rebuilding active threads from fresh disk-backed
config only, which dropped thread-start session overlays such as
app-injected MCP servers. This keeps refreshes current with disk config
while preserving the thread-local config that only the active thread
knows about.
# Changes
- Rebuild refreshed config per active thread using that thread's current
`cwd`, rather than fanning out one app-server config to every thread.
- Preserve each thread's `SessionFlags` layer while replacing reloadable
config layers with freshly loaded config, then derive the MCP refresh
payload from the rebuilt result.
- Move MCP refresh orchestration into app-server so manual refreshes
fail loudly while background refreshes remain best-effort, and route
plugin-triggered refreshes through the same per-thread reload path.
- Add regression coverage for session overlays, fresh project config,
plugin-derived MCP config, current requirements, and strict vs
best-effort refresh behavior.
# Verification
- Passed focused Rust coverage for the thread-config rebuild behavior
and deferred MCP refresh flow, plus `cargo test -p codex-app-server
--lib`.
- Verified end to end in the Codex dev app against the locally built
CLI: registered an MCP via thread config, verified that it could be used
successfully before refresh, manually triggered MCP refresh, and
verified that it continued to be available afterward.
Extends `plugin/share/save` to accept optional discoverability and
shareTargets while uploading plugin contents, and adds
`plugin/share/updateTargets` for share-only target updates without
re-uploading.
## Why
`Turn.items` currently overloads an empty array to mean either that no
items exist or that the server intentionally did not load them for this
response. That ambiguity blocks future lazy-loading work where clients
need to distinguish unloaded, summary, and fully hydrated turn payloads.
## What changed
- add a new `TurnItemsView` enum with `notLoaded`, `summary`, and `full`
variants
- add required `itemsView` metadata to app-server `Turn` payloads
- mark reconstructed persisted history as `full` and live shell-style
turn payloads as `notLoaded`
- keep current `thread/turns/list` behavior unchanged and document that
it still returns `full` turns today
- regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol fixtures
## Verification

- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fmt`
## Why
App-server had repeated hand-built JSON-RPC error objects for standard
error shapes. Using the shared helpers keeps the common
`invalid_request`, `invalid_params`, and `internal_error` construction
in one place and reduces the chance of new call sites drifting from the
common error payload shape.
## What changed
- Replaced manual standard JSON-RPC error object creation with
`internal_error(...)`, `invalid_request(...)`, and `invalid_params(...)`
across app-server request processors and runtime paths.
- Removed local duplicate helper definitions from search and review
request handling.
- Preserved existing structured `data` payloads by creating the shared
helper error first and then attaching the existing metadata.
- Left custom non-standard errors and raw error-code assertions intact.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
## Why
Taking a step to removing the `persistExtendedHistory` field. It's not
scalable to be persisting so much data in the rollout file and returning
it in the thread history.
When a client explicitly sends `true`, the server now tells that client
the parameter is deprecated and ignored so the caller has a clear
migration signal via the `deprecationNotice` notification.
## What changed
- Keep the `persist_extended_history` / `persistExtendedHistory` field
in the v2 protocol for compatibility, but document it as deprecated and
ignored.
- Ignore the parameter in app-server `thread/start`, `thread/resume`,
and `thread/fork`; those paths always use limited history persistence
now.
- Stop treating `persistExtendedHistory` as a running-thread resume
override mismatch.
- Emit a connection-scoped `deprecationNotice` when a request explicitly
sets `persist_extended_history: true`.
## Verification
- Added `thread_start_deprecates_persist_extended_history_true` to cover
the deprecation notice.
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Why
The desktop app on Windows needs a read-only way to tell, before the
next tool call, whether the local Windows sandbox setup is in a state
that should block the user and ask for setup again.
The main case we want to cover is the elevated sandbox setup version
bump. Today, if the app is configured for elevated Windows sandboxing
and the installed setup is stale, the next sandboxed shell/exec path can
end up triggering the elevated setup flow directly. That means the user
can see an unexpected UAC prompt with no UI explanation.
This change adds a small app-server preflight so the desktop app can ask
“is Windows sandbox ready, not configured, or update-required?” during
startup and show the appropriate blocking UI before the user hits a tool
call.
## What changed
- Added a new read-only app-server RPC: `windowsSandbox/readiness`
- Added a new protocol enum and response type:
- `WindowsSandboxReadiness`
- `WindowsSandboxReadinessResponse`
- Added core readiness logic in `core/src/windows_sandbox.rs`:
- `ready`
- `notConfigured`
- `updateRequired`
- Wired the new request through `codex_message_processor`
- Regenerated the vendored app-server schema fixtures
## Readiness semantics
This is intentionally a coarse startup/version-bump readiness check, not
a full predictor of every runtime repair case.
For now, readiness is determined from:
- the configured Windows sandbox level
- `sandbox_setup_is_complete()` for elevated mode
That means:
- `disabled` maps to `notConfigured`
- `restricted token` maps to `ready`
- `elevated` maps to `ready` or `updateRequired` depending on
`sandbox_setup_is_complete()`
This is deliberate for the first UI integration because the common case
we want to catch is “the app updated, the elevated setup version bumped,
and the user should see an update-required blocker instead of a surprise
UAC prompt”.
It does not attempt to model every case where the deeper runtime path
might decide to repair or re-run setup.
## Testing
- Ran `cargo fmt --all -- app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs
app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs
app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs core/src/windows_sandbox.rs
core/src/windows_sandbox_tests.rs`
- Added unit tests for the pure readiness mapping in
`core/src/windows_sandbox_tests.rs`
- Regenerated vendored schema fixtures with `cargo run -p
codex-app-server-protocol --bin write_schema_fixtures -- --schema-root
app-server-protocol/schema`
- Did not run the full cargo test suite
## Why
Adding goal metrics makes it possible to track how often goals are
created, completed, and stopped by budget limits, plus the final token
and wall-clock usage for terminal outcomes.
## What Changed
- Added OpenTelemetry metric constants for goal lifecycle tracking:
- `codex.goal.created`: increments each time a new persisted goal is
created or an existing goal is replaced with a new objective.
- `codex.goal.completed`: increments when a goal transitions to
`complete`.
- `codex.goal.budget_limited`: increments when a goal transitions to
`budget_limited` because its token budget has been reached.
- `codex.goal.token_count`: records the final persisted token count when
a goal transitions to `complete` or `budget_limited`.
- `codex.goal.duration_s`: records the final persisted elapsed
wall-clock time, in seconds, when a goal transitions to `complete` or
`budget_limited`.
- Emitted creation metrics when a goal is created or replaced.
- Emitted terminal outcome counters and final usage histograms when a
goal transitions to `complete` or `budget_limited`, avoiding
double-counting later in-flight accounting for already budget-limited
goals.
- Added focused `codex-core` tests for create/complete metrics and
one-time budget-limit metrics.
Migrate token usage replay, rollback responses, and detached review
setup (a special case of forking) to be served from ThreadStore reads
rather direct rollout files.
- replay restored token usage from already-loaded `RolloutItem` history
instead of reopening `Thread.path`
- rebuild rollback responses from loaded `ThreadStore` snapshots and
history
- start detached reviews from store-backed parent history and stored
review-thread metadata
- remove obsolete app-server rollout-summary helper code that became
dead after the store-backed migration
- preserve response/notification ordering for resume, fork, rollback,
and detached review flows
- add integration test coverage for the affected paths
- Route `thread/metadata/update` through
`ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata`.
- Add `LocalThreadStore` git metadata patch support for set, partial
update, and clear semantics.
- Add some unit tests for the new thread store code
- Remove a lot of dead code/tests!
## Why
App-server clients sometimes need argv-based local process execution
while sandbox policy is controlled outside Codex. Those environments can
reject sandbox-disabling paths before a command ever starts, even when
the caller intentionally wants unsandboxed execution.
This PR adds a distinct `process/*` API for that use case instead of
extending `command/exec` with another sandbox-disabling shape. Keeping
the new surface separate also makes the future removal of `command/exec`
simpler: clients that need explicit process lifecycle control can move
to the newer handle-based API without depending on `command/exec`
business logic.
## What changed
- Added v2 process lifecycle methods: `process/spawn`,
`process/writeStdin`, `process/resizePty`, and `process/kill`.
- Added process notifications: `process/outputDelta` for streamed
stdout/stderr chunks and `process/exited` for final exit status and
buffered output.
- Made `process/spawn` intentionally unsandboxed and omitted
sandbox-selection fields such as `sandboxPolicy` and
`permissionProfile`.
- Added client-supplied, connection-scoped `processHandle` values for
follow-up control requests and notification routing.
- Supported cwd, environment overrides, PTY mode and size, stdin
streaming, stdout/stderr streaming, per-stream output caps, and timeout
controls.
- Killed active process sessions when the originating app-server
connection closes.
- Wired the implementation through the modular `request_processors/`
app-server layout, with process-handle request serialization for
follow-up control calls.
- Updated generated JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures and documented the
new API in `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`.
- Added v2 app-server integration coverage in
`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/process_exec.rs` for spawn
acknowledgement before exit, buffered output caps, and process
termination.

## Why
SQLite state was still being opened from consumer paths, including lazy
`OnceCell`-backed thread-store call sites. That let one process
construct multiple state DB connections for the same Codex home, which
makes SQLite lock contention and `database is locked` failures much
easier to hit.
State DB lifetime should be chosen by main-like entrypoints and tests,
then passed through explicitly. Consumers should use the supplied
`Option<StateDbHandle>` or `StateDbHandle` and keep their existing
filesystem fallback or error behavior when no handle is available.
The startup path also needs to keep the rollout crate in charge of
SQLite state initialization. Opening `codex_state::StateRuntime`
directly bypasses rollout metadata backfill, so entrypoints should
initialize through `codex_rollout::state_db` and receive a handle only
after required rollout backfills have completed.
## What Changed
- Initialize the state DB in main-like entrypoints for CLI, TUI,
app-server, exec, MCP server, and the thread-manager sample.
- Pass `Option<StateDbHandle>` through `ThreadManager`,
`LocalThreadStore`, app-server processors, TUI app wiring, rollout
listing/recording, personality migration, shell snapshot cleanup,
session-name lookup, and memory/device-key consumers.
- Remove the lazy local state DB wrapper from the thread store so
non-test consumers use only the supplied handle or their existing
fallback path.
- Make `codex_rollout::state_db::init` the local state startup path: it
opens/migrates SQLite, runs rollout metadata backfill when needed, waits
for concurrent backfill workers up to a bounded timeout, verifies
completion, and then returns the initialized handle.
- Keep optional/non-owning SQLite helpers, such as remote TUI local
reads, as open-only paths that do not run startup backfill.
- Switch app-server startup from direct
`codex_state::StateRuntime::init` to the rollout state initializer so
app-server cannot skip rollout backfill.
- Collapse split rollout lookup/list APIs so callers use the normal
methods with an optional state handle instead of `_with_state_db`
variants.
- Restore `getConversationSummary(ThreadId)` to delegate through
`ThreadStore::read_thread` instead of a LocalThreadStore-specific
rollout path special case.
- Keep DB-backed rollout path lookup keyed on the DB row and file
existence, without imposing the filesystem filename convention on
existing DB rows.
- Verify readable DB-backed rollout paths against `session_meta.id`
before returning them, so a stale SQLite row that points at another
thread's JSONL falls back to filesystem search and read-repairs the DB
row.
- Keep `debug prompt-input` filesystem-only so a one-off debug command
does not initialize or backfill SQLite state just to print prompt input.
- Keep goal-session test Codex homes alive only in the goal-specific
helper, rather than leaking tempdirs from the shared session test
helper.
- Update tests and call sites to pass explicit state handles where DB
behavior is expected and explicit `None` where filesystem-only behavior
is intended.

Focused coverage added in `codex-rollout`:
- `recorder::tests::state_db_init_backfills_before_returning` verifies
the rollout metadata row exists before startup init returns.
- `state_db::tests::try_init_waits_for_concurrent_startup_backfill`
verifies startup waits for another worker to finish backfill instead of
disabling the handle for the process.
-
`state_db::tests::try_init_times_out_waiting_for_stuck_startup_backfill`
verifies startup does not hang indefinitely on a stuck backfill lease.
-
`tests::find_thread_path_accepts_existing_state_db_path_without_canonical_filename`
verifies DB-backed lookup accepts valid existing rollout paths even when
the filename does not include the thread UUID.
-
`tests::find_thread_path_falls_back_when_db_path_points_to_another_thread`
verifies DB-backed lookup ignores a stale row whose existing path
belongs to another thread and read-repairs the row after filesystem
fallback.
Focused coverage updated in `codex-core`:
- `rollout_list_find::find_prefers_sqlite_path_by_id` now uses a
DB-preferred rollout file with matching `session_meta.id`, so it still
verifies that valid SQLite paths win without depending on stale/empty
rollout contents.
`cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_list_respects_search_term_filter
-- --test-threads=1 --nocapture` was attempted locally but timed out
waiting for the app-server test harness `initialize` response before
reaching the changed thread-list code path.
`bazel test //codex-rs/thread-store:thread-store-unit-tests
--test_output=errors` was attempted locally after the thread-store fix,
but this container failed before target analysis while fetching `v8+`
through BuildBuddy/direct GitHub. The equivalent local crate coverage,
including `cargo test -p codex-thread-store`, passes.
A plain local `cargo check -p codex-rollout -p codex-app-server --tests`
also requires system `libcap.pc` for `codex-linux-sandbox`; the
follow-up app-server check above used `CODEX_SKIP_VENDORED_BWRAP=1` in
this container.
## Why
Whenever we return a thread's history (turns and items) over app-server,
always return the limited form as specified by the rollout policy
`EventPersistenceMode::Limited`, even if the thread was previously
started with `EventPersistenceMode::Extended`.
We're finding it is quite unscalable to be returning the extended
history, so let's apply the same filtering logic of the rollout policy
when we load and return the thread's history.
## What Changed
- Reuse the rollout persistence policy when reconstructing app-server
`ThreadItem` history so only `EventPersistenceMode::Limited` rollout
items are replayed into API turns.
- Route `thread/read`, `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`,
`thread/turns/list`, and rollback responses through the same filtered
app-server history projection.
- Keep live active turns intact when composing a response for a
currently running thread.
- Update command execution coverage so persisted extended command events
are excluded from returned history for `thread/read`, `thread/fork`, and
`thread/turns/list`.
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server limited`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_shell_command`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_read`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_rollback`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_fork`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Why
The app-server request path had grown around a large
`CodexMessageProcessor` plus separate API wrapper/helper modules. That
made the dependency graph hard to see and forced unrelated request
families to share broad processor state.
This PR makes the split mechanical and command-prefix oriented so
request families own only the dependencies they use.
## What changed
- Replaced `CodexMessageProcessor` with command-prefix request
processors under `app-server/src/request_processors/`.
- Removed the old config, device-key, external-agent-config, and fs API
wrapper files by moving their API handling into processors.
- Split apps, plugins, marketplace, catalog, account, MCP, command exec,
fs, git, feedback, thread, turn, thread goals, and Windows sandbox
handling into dedicated processors.
- Kept shared lifecycle, summary conversion, token usage replay, and
shared error mapping only where multiple processors use them; single-use
helpers were inlined into their owning processor.
- Removed the fallback processor path and moved processor tests to
`_tests` files.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
