Felipe CouryandGitHub 80b65e9945 feat(tui): add /app desktop handoff (#25638) 2026-06-03 20:30:15 -03:00
Eric TrautandGitHub 36cd36626d Add /archive slash command (#25027)
## Why

TUI users can archive saved sessions from other surfaces, but there is
no in-session command for archiving the active session. Since archiving
the active session also exits the TUI, the command should ask for
explicit confirmation instead of firing immediately.

I'm also working on [a companion
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25021) that adds `codex
archive` and `codex unarchive` top-level CLI commands.

## What changed

- Adds a new `/archive` slash command described as `archive this session
and exit`.
- Shows a confirmation dialog with `No, don't archive` selected first
and `Yes, archive and exit` as the explicit action.
- On confirmation, calls the existing `thread/archive` app-server RPC
for the active main session and exits after success.
- Keeps `/archive` disabled while a task is running and unavailable in
side conversations.

## Verification

Added focused TUI coverage for the `/archive` confirmation flow,
disabled-while-task-running behavior, and the `/ar` slash-command popup
snapshot.

Eric TrautandGitHub efdcbba053 Remove resurrected /collab slash command (#22535)
## Summary
`/collab` was intentionally removed in
[#12012](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12012), but the
TUI/app-server migration accidentally brought that slash-command path
back. This restores the earlier product decision so the TUI no longer
advertises or dispatches `/collab`. This command was redundant because
it did the same thing as `/plan` but in a less-intuitive way.

## What Changed
- Remove `SlashCommand::Collab` from the TUI slash-command surface.
- Delete the picker and app-event plumbing that only existed to service
`/collab`.
- Remove obsolete TUI test coverage for the deleted picker flow.

Felipe CouryandGitHub 95b332c820 feat(tui): add ambient terminal pets (#21206)
## Why

The Codex App has animated pets, but the TUI had no equivalent ambient
companion surface. This brings that experience into terminal Codex while
keeping the main chat flow usable: the pet should feel present, but it
cannot cover transcript text, composer input, approvals, or picker
content.

The feature also needs to be terminal-aware. Different terminals support
different image protocols, tmux can interfere with image rendering, and
some users will want pets disabled entirely or anchored differently
depending on their layout.

## What Changed

- Add a TUI ambient pet renderer in `codex-rs/tui/src/pets/`.
- Port the app-style pet animation states so the sprite changes with
task status, waiting-for-input states, review/ready states, and
failures.
- Add `/pets` selection UI with a preview pane, loading state, built-in
pet choices, and a first-row `Disable terminal pets` option.
- Download built-in pet spritesheets on demand from the same public CDN
path already used by Android, under
`https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex/pets/v1/...`, and cache them
locally under `~/.codex/cache/tui-pets/`.
- Keep custom pets local.
- Add config support for pet selection, disabling pets, and choosing
whether the pet follows the composer bottom or anchors to the terminal
bottom.
- Reserve layout space around the pet so transcript wrapping, live
responses, and composer input do not render underneath the sprite.
- Gate image rendering by terminal capability, disable image pets under
tmux, and support both Kitty Graphics and SIXEL terminals.
- Add redraw cleanup for terminal image artifacts, including sixel cell
clearing.

## Current Scope

- This is an initial TUI version of ambient pets, not full App parity.
- It focuses on ambient sprite rendering, `/pets` selection, custom
pets, terminal capability gating, and on-demand CDN-backed built-in
assets.
- The ambient text overlay is currently disabled, so the TUI renders the
pet sprite without extra status text beside it.

## How to Test

1. Start Codex TUI in a terminal with image support.
2. Run `/pets`.
3. Confirm the picker shows built-in pets plus custom pets, and the
first item is `Disable terminal pets`.
4. On a fresh `~/.codex/cache/tui-pets/`, move onto a built-in pet and
confirm the first preview downloads the spritesheet from the shared
Codex pets CDN and renders successfully.
5. Move through the pet list and confirm subsequent built-in previews
use the local cache.
6. Select a pet, then send and receive messages. Confirm transcript and
composer text wrap before the pet instead of rendering underneath the
sprite.
7. Change the pet anchor setting and confirm the pet can either follow
the composer bottom or sit at the terminal bottom.
8. Return to `/pets`, choose `Disable terminal pets`, and confirm the
sprite disappears cleanly.

Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-tui ambient_pet_`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
resize_reflow_wraps_transcript_early_when_pet_is_enabled`
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots`

7c0e54bf59 [codex] Generalize service tier slash commands (#21745)
## Why

`/fast` was wired as a one-off slash command even though model metadata
now exposes service tiers as catalog data. That meant adding another
tier, such as a slower/cheaper tier, would require more hardcoded TUI
plumbing instead of letting the model catalog drive the available
commands.

This change makes service-tier commands data-driven: each advertised
`service_tiers` entry becomes a `/name` command using the catalog
description, while the request path sends the tier `id` only when the
selected model supports it.

## What Changed

- Removed the hardcoded `/fast` slash-command variant and introduced
dynamic service-tier command items in the composer and command popup.
- Added toggle behavior for service-tier commands: invoking `/name`
selects that tier, and invoking it again clears the selection.
- Preserved the existing Fast-mode keybinding/status affordances by
resolving the current model tier whose name is `fast`, while still
sending the tier request value such as `priority`.
- Persisted service-tier selections as raw request strings so non-fast
tiers can round-trip through config.
- Updated the Bedrock catalog entry to advertise fast support through
`service_tiers` with `id: "priority"` and `name: "fast"`.
- Added defensive filtering in core so unsupported selected service
tiers are omitted from `/responses` requests.

## Validation

- Added/updated coverage for dynamic service-tier slash command lookup,
popup descriptions, composer dispatch, TUI fast toggling, and
unsupported-tier omission in core request construction.
- Local tests were not run per request.

Felipe CouryandGitHub 5e0a4adbe5 feat(tui): add raw scrollback mode (#20819)
## Why

Granular copy is particularly difficult with the current output. Part of
it was solved with the introduction of the `/copy` command but when you
only need to copy parts of a response, you still encounter some issues:

- When you copy a paragraph, the result is a sequence of separate lines
instead of one correctly joined paragraph.
- When a word wraps, part of it stays on the original line and the rest
appears at the start of the next line.
- When you copy a long command, extra line breaks are often inserted,
and command arguments can be split across multiple lines.


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ef85c84-9363-4aad-b43a-15fce062a443

## Solution

Now that we own the scrollback and we re-create it when we resize, we
have the opportunity of toggling between the raw text and the rich text
we see today.

- Add TUI raw scrollback mode with `tui.raw_output_mode`, `/raw
[on|off]`, and the configurable `tui.keymap.global.toggle_raw_output`
action.
- Render transcript cells through rich/raw-aware paths so raw mode
preserves source text and lets the terminal soft-wrap selection-friendly
output.
- Bind raw-mode toggle to `alt-r` by default, with the keybinding path
toggling silently while `/raw` continues to emit confirmation messages.

## Related Issues

Likely addressed by raw mode:

- #12200: clean copy for multiline and soft-wrapped output. Raw mode
removes Codex-inserted wrapping/indentation and lets the terminal
soft-wrap logical lines.
- #9252: command suggestions gain unwanted leading spaces when copied.
Raw mode renders transcript text without the rich-mode left
padding/gutter.
- #8258: prompt output is hard to copy because of leading indentation.
Raw mode renders user/source-backed transcript text without that
decorative indentation.

Partially or conditionally addressed:

- #2880: copy/export message as Markdown. Raw mode exposes raw Markdown
for terminal selection, but this PR does not add a dedicated
export/copy-message command.
- #19820: mouse drag selection + copy in the TUI. Raw mode improves
terminal-native selection of output/history text, but this PR does not
implement in-TUI mouse selection, highlighting, auto-copy, or composer
selection.
- #18979: copied content is divided into two parts. This should improve
cases caused by Codex-inserted wraps/padding in rendered output; if the
report is about pasting into the composer/input path, that remains
outside this PR.

Won ParkandGitHub 5c1ec8f4fd tui: retire /approvals and rename /autoreview to /approve (#21034)
## Why

The TUI currently exposes overlapping command names for the same
permissions flow: `/permissions` and the older `/approvals` alias. It
also uses `/autoreview` for the manual retry flow, even though the
action users take there is approving one denied auto-review request.

This change makes the command surface consistent with the hard rebrand:
- `/permissions` is the only command for permission settings.
- `/approve` is the command for approving a recent auto-review denial.

## What changed

- Removed the legacy `/approvals` slash command and its dispatch path.
- Kept `/permissions` as the single permissions command shown and
accepted by the TUI.
- Renamed the auto-review denial command from `/autoreview` to
`/approve`.
- Updated nearby comments so they refer to `/permissions` rather than
the retired `/approvals` name.

## Verification

- Updated the slash-command unit test to assert that `AutoReview` now
renders and parses as `approve`.

Felipe CouryandGitHub 94800ecbbf feat(tui): add keymap debug inspector (#20794)
## Why

We constantly get bug reports about keys not being recognized by Codex
when the terminal is not handling the key press. Running `/keymap debug`
or `/keymap` and going to the Debug tab, we can allow the user to either
understand that the key being pressed is not being recognized or to
check what it's being recognized as and report or reassign that key.

Eric TrautandGitHub 6784db51c0 Add /ide context support to the TUI (#20294)
## Why

Users have asked for a `/ide` command in the TUI so Codex can use the
active IDE session for live context such as the current file, open tabs,
and selected ranges. We already support a similar feature in the Codex
desktop app, so bringing it to the TUI makes sense.

One subtle compatibility constraint is that the injected prompt wrapper
and transcript stripping should match the desktop app and IDE extension.
By using the same `## My request for Codex:` delimiter and hiding the
injected context from transcript rendering the same way, threads created
in the TUI render correctly in desktop and IDE surfaces, and threads
created there replay correctly in the TUI, even when IDE context was
included.

Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13834.

## What changed
### Summary
This PR consists of four four pieces:
1. An IPC client that uses a socket (Mac/Linux) or named pipe (Windows)
to talk to the IDE Extension
2. Logic that establishes the IPC connection and requests IDE context
(open files, selection) on demand
3. Logic that injects this context into the user prompt (using the same
technique as the desktop app) and hides the added context when rendering
the prompt in the TUI transcript
4. A new slash command for enabling/disabling this mode and text within
the footer to indicate when it's enabled

### Details
- Added `/ide [on|off|status]` to the TUI, with bare `/ide` toggling IDE
context on or off.
- Added a Rust IDE context client that connects to the local Codex IDE
IPC route as a client and requests context from the IDE extension flow.
- Injected IDE context using the same prompt delimiter and
transcript-stripping convention as the desktop app and IDE extension so
shared threads render consistently across surfaces.
- Added an `IDE context` status-line indicator while the feature is
active and cleared it when enabling or fetching context fails.
- Added handling for multiple selection ranges, oversized selections,
interleaved IPC messages, and transient reconnect timing after quick
toggles.

## Verification

Did extensive manual testing in addition to running automated unit and
regression tests.

To test:

- Launch VS Code (or Cursor) with the IDE extension.
- Open one or more files in the IDE and select a range of text within
one of them.
- Start the TUI.
- Ask the agent which files you have open in your IDE, and it should say
that it does not know.
- Enable `/ide` mode; note that `IDE context` appears in the lower
right.
- Ask the agent what files you have open in your IDE and what text is
selected.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub f50c02d7bc [codex] Remove unused event messages (#20511)
## Why

Several legacy `EventMsg` variants were still emitted or mapped even
though clients either ignored them or had moved to item/lifecycle
events. `Op::Undo` had also degraded to an unavailable shim, so this
removes that dead task path instead of preserving a command that cannot
do useful work.

`McpStartupComplete`, `WebSearchBegin`, and `ImageGenerationBegin` are
intentionally kept because useful consumers still depend on them: MCP
startup completion drives readiness behavior, and the begin events let
app-server/core consumers surface in-progress web-search and
image-generation items before the final payload arrives.

## What Changed

- Removed weak legacy event variants and payloads from `codex-protocol`,
including legacy agent deltas, background events, and undo lifecycle
events.
- Kept/restored `EventMsg::McpStartupComplete`,
`EventMsg::WebSearchBegin`, and `EventMsg::ImageGenerationBegin` with
serializer and emission coverage.
- Updated core, rollout, MCP server, app-server thread history,
review/delegate filtering, and tests to rely on the useful replacement
events that remain.
- Removed `Op::Undo`, `UndoTask`, the undo test module, and stale TUI
slash-command comments.
- Stopped agent job/background progress and compaction retry notices
from emitting `BackgroundEvent` payloads.

## Verification

- `cargo check -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-core -p codex-rollout -p codex-rollout-trace -p codex-mcp-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol -p

- `just fix -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core
-p codex-rollout -p codex-rollout-trace -p codex-mcp-server`
- Earlier coverage on this PR also included `codex-mcp`, `codex-tui`,
core library tests, MCP/plugin/delegate/review/agent job tests, and MCP
startup TUI tests.

Felipe CouryandGitHub b6f81257f8 feat(tui): add vim composer mode (#18595)
## Why

Codex now has configurable TUI keymaps, but the composer still behaves
like a plain text field. Users who prefer modal editing need a way to
keep Vim muscle memory while drafting prompts, and the keymap picker
needs to expose Vim-specific actions if those bindings are configurable
instead of hardcoded.

## What Changed

- Adds composer Vim mode with insert/normal state, common normal-mode
movement and editing commands, `d`/`y` operator-pending flows, and
mode-aware footer and cursor indicators.
- Adds `/vim`, an optional global `toggle_vim_mode` binding, and
`tui.vim_mode_default` so Vim mode can be toggled per session or enabled
as the default composer state.
- Extends runtime and config keymaps with `vim_normal` and
`vim_operator` contexts, exposes those contexts in `/keymap`, refreshes
the config schema, and validates Vim bindings separately.
- Integrates Vim normal mode with existing composer behavior: `/` opens
slash command entry, `!` enters shell mode, `j`/`k` navigate history at
history boundaries, successful submissions reset back to normal mode,
and paste burst handling remains insert-mode only.
- Teaches the TUI render path to apply and restore cursor style so Vim
insert mode can use a bar cursor without leaving the terminal in that
state after exit.

## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-tui keymap -- --nocapture` on the keymap/Vim
coverage
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots`

## Docs

This introduces user-facing `/vim`, `tui.vim_mode_default`, and Vim
keymap contexts under `tui.keymap`, so the public CLI configuration and
slash-command docs should be updated before the feature ships.

93d53f655b Add /hooks browser for lifecycle hooks (#19882)
## Why

`hooks/list` and `hooks/config/write` give us read/write access to hooks
and their state. This hooks up the TUI as a client so users can inspect
and manage that state directly.

## What

- add a two-page `/hooks` browser in the TUI: an event overview with
installed/active counts, followed by a per-event handler page with
toggle controls and detail rendering
- thread managed-state metadata through hook discovery and `hooks/list`
so the UI can label admin-managed hooks and suppress toggles for them
- persist hook toggles through the existing config-write path and add
snapshot coverage for the event list, handler list, managed-hook, and
empty states

## Stack

1. openai/codex#19705
2. openai/codex#19778
3. openai/codex#19840
4. This PR - openai/codex#19882

## Reviewer Notes

- Main UI logic is in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/hooks_browser_view.rs`; most of the diff
is the new view plus its snapshot coverage
- Request / write plumbing for opening the browser and persisting
toggles is in `codex-rs/tui/src/app/background_requests.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/hooks.rs`
- Outside the TUI, the only behavioral change in this PR is threading
`is_managed` through hook discovery and `hooks/list` so managed hooks
render as non-toggleable
- The `codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/` churn is unrelated merge
fallout from the stacked base branch's newer permission-label rendering

Felipe CouryandGitHub 5e737372ee feat(tui): add configurable keymap support (#18593)
## Why

The TUI currently handles keyboard shortcuts as hard-coded event matches
spread across app, composer, pager, list, approval, and navigation code.
That makes shortcuts hard to customize, makes displayed hints easy to
drift from actual behavior, and makes future keymap work riskier because
there is no central action inventory.

This PR adds the foundation for configurable, action-based keymaps
without adding the interactive remapping UI yet. Onboarding
intentionally stays on fixed startup shortcuts because users cannot
reasonably configure keymaps before completing onboarding.

This is PR1 in the keymap stack:

- PR1: #18593: configurable keymap foundation
- PR2: #18594: `/keymap` picker and guided remapping UI
- PR3: #18595: Vim composer mode and the remap option

## Design Notes

The new model resolves named actions into concrete runtime bindings once
from config, then passes those bindings to the UI surfaces that handle
input or render shortcut hints.

The main concepts are:

- **Context**: a scope where an action is active, such as `global`,
`chat`, `composer`, `editor`, `pager`, `list`, or `approval`.
- **Action**: a named operation inside a context, such as
`global.open_transcript`, `composer.submit`, or `pager.close`.
- **Binding**: one or more single-key shortcuts assigned to an action,
written as config strings such as `ctrl-t`, `alt-backspace`, or
`page-down`. Multi-step sequences such as `ctrl-x ctrl-s`, `g g`, or
leader-key flows are not part of this PR.
- **Resolution order**: context-specific config wins first, supported
global fallbacks come next, and built-in defaults fill in anything
unset.
- **Explicit unbinding**: an empty array removes an action binding in
that scope and does not fall through to a fallback binding.
- **Conflict validation**: a resolved keymap rejects duplicate active
bindings inside the same scope so one keypress cannot dispatch two
actions.

## What Changed

- Added `TuiKeymap` config support under `[tui.keymap]`, including typed
contexts/actions, key alias normalization, generated schema coverage,
and user-facing config errors.
- Added `RuntimeKeymap` resolution in `codex-rs/tui/src/keymap.rs`,
including fallback precedence, built-in defaults, explicit unbinding,
and per-context conflict validation.
- Rewired existing TUI handlers to consume resolved keymap actions
instead of directly matching hard-coded keys in each component.
- Updated key hint rendering and footer/pager/list surfaces so displayed
shortcuts follow the resolved keymap.
- Kept onboarding shortcuts fixed in
`codex-rs/tui/src/onboarding/keys.rs` instead of exposing them through
`[tui.keymap]`.

## Validation

The branch includes focused coverage for config parsing, key
normalization, runtime fallback resolution, explicit unbinding,
duplicate-key conflict validation, default keymap consistency,
onboarding startup key behavior, and UI hint snapshots affected by
resolved key bindings.

Won ParkandGitHub 8033b6a449 Add /auto-review-denials retry approval flow (#19058)
## Why

Auto-review can deny an action that the user later decides they want to
retry. Today there is no TUI surface for selecting a recent denial and
sending explicit approval context back into the session, so users have
to restate intent manually and the retry can be reviewed without the
original denied action context.

This adds a narrow TUI-driven path for approving a recent denied action
while still keeping the retry inside the normal auto-review flow.

## What Changed

- Added `/auto-review-denials` to open a picker of recent denied
auto-review actions.
- Added a small in-memory TUI store for the 10 most recent denied
auto-review events.
- Selecting a denial sends the structured denied event back through the
existing core/app-server op path.
- Core now injects a developer message containing the approved action
JSON rather than the full assessment event.
- Auto-review transcript collection now preserves this specific approval
developer message so follow-up review sessions can see the user approval
context.
- Added TUI snapshot/unit coverage for the picker and approval dispatch
path.
- Added core coverage for retaining the approval developer message in
the auto-review transcript.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core
collect_guardian_transcript_entries_keeps_manual_approval_developer_message`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui auto_review_denials`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
approving_recent_denial_emits_structured_core_op_once`

## Notes

This intentionally keeps retries going through auto-review. The approval
signal is context for the exact previously denied action, not a blanket
bypass for similar future actions.

Eric TrautandGitHub f1c963d77e Add goal TUI UX (5 / 5) (#18077)
Adds the TUI user experience for goals on top of the core runtime from
PR 4.

## Why

Users need a direct TUI control surface for long-running goals. The UI
should make the current goal visible, support common goal actions
without waiting for a model turn, and avoid confusing end-of-turn
notifications while an active goal is immediately continuing.

## What changed

- Added `/goal` summary rendering for the current goal, including
active, paused, budget-limited, and complete states.
- Added `/goal <objective>` creation/replacement through the app-server
goal API rather than a model prompt.
- Added `/goal clear`, `/goal pause`, and `/goal unpause` command
variants.
- Added a confirmation menu when the user enters a new goal while
another goal already exists.
- Updated `/goal` help and summary tip text so it reflects the supported
command variants without advertising slash-command token budgets.
- Added footer/statusline goal indicators, including elapsed time and
token budget display when a budget exists from API/tool-created goals.
- Consumes goal updated/cleared notifications so the TUI stays in sync
with external app-server changes.
- Suppresses end-of-turn desktop notifications only when a goal is still
active and follow-up work is expected.
- Preserves slash-command history behavior and avoids leaking queued
`/goal` state into unrelated submissions.

## Verification

- Added TUI unit and snapshot coverage for goal command availability,
summary rendering, control commands, replacement menu behavior,
status/footer display, notification handling, and command history.

Eric TrautandGitHub 5a8700abcc Add verbose diagnostics for /mcp (#18610)
Fixes #18539.

## Summary
The recent `/mcp` performance work kept the default command fast by
avoiding resource and resource-template inventory probes, but it also
removed useful diagnostics for users trying to confirm MCP server state.

This keeps bare `/mcp` on the fast tools/auth path and adds `/mcp
verbose` for the slower diagnostic view. Verbose mode requests full MCP
server status from the app-server and restores status, resources, and
resource templates in the TUI output.

## Testing
In addition to running automation, I manually tested the feature to
confirm that it works.

pash-openaiandGitHub d58d3ccfec Soften Fast mode plan usage copy (#18601)
Fast mode TUI copy currently names a specific plan-usage multiplier in
two lightweight promo/help surfaces. This swaps that exact multiplier
language for the broader increased plan usage wording we use elsewhere.

There are no behavior changes here; the slash command and startup tip
still point users at the same Fast mode flow.

Eric TrautandGitHub 95dafbc7b5 Add /side conversations (#18190)
The TUI supports long-running turns and agent threads, but quick side
questions have required interrupting the main flow or manually
forking/navigating threads. This PR adds a guarded `/side` flow so users
can ask brief side-conversation questions in an ephemeral fork while
keeping the primary thread focused. This also helps address the feature
request in #18125.

The implementation creates one side conversation at a time, lets `/side`
open either an empty side thread or immediately submit `/side
<question>`, and returns to the parent with Esc or Ctrl+C. Side
conversations get hidden developer guardrails that treat inherited
history as reference-only and steer the model away from workspace
mutations unless explicitly requested in the side conversation.

The TUI hides most slash commands while side mode is active, leaving
only `/copy`, `/diff`, `/mention`, and `/status` available there.

ef330eff6d feat(tui): Ctrl+O copy hotkey and harden copy-as-markdown behavior (#16966)
## TL;DR

- New `Ctrl+O` shortcut on top of the existing `/copy` command, allowing
users to copy the latest agent response without having to cancel a plan
or type `/copy`
- Copy server clipboard to the client over SSH (OSC 52)
- Fixes linux copy behavior: a clipboard handle has to be kept alive
while the paste happens for the contents to be preserved
- Uses arboard as primary mechanism on Windows, falling back to
PowerShell copy clipboard function
- Works with resumes, rolling back during a session, etc.

Tested on macOS, Linux/X11, Windows WSL2, Windows cmd.exe, Windows
PowerShell, Windows VSCode PowerShell, Windows VSCode WSL2, SSH (macOS
-> macOS).

## Problem

The TUI's `/copy` command was fragile. It relied on a single
`last_copyable_output` field that was bluntly cleared on every rollback
and thread reconfiguration, making copied content unavailable after
common operations like backtracking. It also had no keyboard shortcut,
requiring users to type `/copy` each time. The previous clipboard
backend mixed platform selection policy with low-level I/O in a way that
was hard to test, and it did not keep the Linux clipboard owner alive —
meaning pasted content could vanish once the process that wrote it
dropped its `arboard::Clipboard`.

This addresses the text-copy failure modes reported in #12836, #15452,
and #15663: native Linux clipboard access failing in remote or
unreachable-display environments, copy state going blank even after
visible assistant output, and local Linux X11 reporting success while
leaving the clipboard empty.

## Shortcut rationale

The copy hotkey is `Ctrl+O` rather than `Alt+C` because Alt/Option
combinations are not delivered consistently by macOS terminal emulators.
Terminal.app and iTerm2 can treat Option as text input or as a
configurable Meta/Esc prefix, and Option+C may be consumed or
transformed before the TUI sees an `Alt+C` key event. `Ctrl+O` is a
stable control-key chord in Terminal.app, iTerm2, SSH, and the existing
cross-platform terminal stack.

## Mental model

Agent responses are now tracked as a bounded, ordinal-indexed history
(`agent_turn_markdowns: Vec<AgentTurnMarkdown>`) rather than a single
nullable string. Each completed agent turn appends an entry keyed by its
ordinal (the number of user turns seen so far). Rollbacks pop entries
whose ordinal exceeds the remaining turn count, then use the visible
transcript cells as a best-effort fallback if the ordinal history no
longer has a surviving entry. This means `/copy` and `Ctrl+O` reflect
the most recent surviving agent response after a backtrack, instead of
going blank.

The clipboard backend was rewritten as `clipboard_copy.rs` with a
strategy-injection design: `copy_to_clipboard_with` accepts closures for
the OSC 52, arboard, and WSL PowerShell paths, making the selection
logic fully unit-testable without touching real clipboards. On Linux,
the `Clipboard` handle is returned as a `ClipboardLease` stored on
`ChatWidget`, keeping X11/Wayland clipboard ownership alive for the
lifetime of the TUI. When native copy fails under WSL, the backend now
tries the Windows clipboard through PowerShell before falling back to
OSC 52.

## Non-goals

- This change does not introduce rich-text (HTML) clipboard support; the
copied content is raw markdown.
- It does not add a paste-from-history picker or multi-entry clipboard
ring.
- WSL support remains a best-effort fallback, not a new configuration
surface or guarantee for every terminal/host combination.

## Tradeoffs

- **Bounded history (256 entries)**: `MAX_AGENT_COPY_HISTORY` caps
memory. For sessions with thousands of turns this silently drops the
oldest entries. The cap is generous enough for realistic sessions.
- **`saw_copy_source_this_turn` flag**: Prevents double-recording when
both `AgentMessage` and `TurnComplete.last_agent_message` fire for the
same turn. The flag is reset on turn start and on turn complete,
creating a narrow window where a race between the two events could
theoretically skip recording. In practice the protocol delivers them
sequentially.
- **Transcript fallback on rollback**:
`last_agent_markdown_from_transcript` walks the visible transcript cells
to reconstruct plain text when the ordinal history has been fully
truncated. This path uses `AgentMessageCell::plain_text()` which joins
rendered spans, so it reconstructs display text rather than the original
raw markdown. It keeps visible text copyable after rollback, but
responses with markdown-specific syntax can diverge from the original
source.
- **Clipboard fallback ordering**: SSH still uses OSC 52 exclusively
because native/PowerShell clipboard access would target the wrong
machine. Local sessions try native clipboard first, then WSL PowerShell
when running under WSL, then OSC 52. This adds one process-spawn
fallback for WSL users but keeps the normal desktop and SSH paths
simple.

## Architecture

```

## Observability

- `tracing::warn!` on native clipboard failure before OSC 52 fallback.
- `tracing::debug!` on `/dev/tty` open/write failure before stdout
fallback.
- History cell messages: "Copied last message to clipboard", "Copy
failed: {error}", "No agent response to copy" appear in the TUI
transcript.

## Tests

- `clipboard_copy.rs`: Unit tests cover OSC 52 encoding roundtrip,
payload size rejection, writer output, SSH-only OSC52 routing, non-WSL
native-to-OSC52 fallback, WSL native-to-PowerShell fallback, WSL
PowerShell-to-OSC52 fallback, and all-error reporting via strategy
injection.
- `chatwidget/tests/slash_commands.rs`: Updated existing `/copy` tests
to use `last_agent_markdown_text()` accessor. Added coverage for the
Linux clipboard lease lifecycle, missing
`TurnComplete.last_agent_message` fallback through completed assistant
items, replayed legacy agent messages, stale-output prevention after
rollback, and the `Ctrl+O` no-output hotkey path.
- `app_backtrack.rs`: Added
`agent_group_count_ignores_context_compacted_marker` verifying that
info-event cells don't inflate the agent group count.

### Preliminary /plugins TUI menu
- Adds a preliminary /plugins menu flow in both tui and tui_app_server.
- Fetches plugin list data asynchronously and shows loading/error/cached
states.
  - Limits this first pass to the curated ChatGPT marketplace.
  - Shows available plugins with installed/status metadata.
- Supports in-menu search over plugin display name, plugin id, plugin
name, and marketplace label.
- Opens a plugin detail view on selection, including summaries for
Skills, Apps, and MCP Servers, with back navigation.

### Testing
  - Launch codex-cli with plugins enabled (`--enable plugins`).
  - Run /plugins and verify:
      - loading state appears first
      - plugin list is shown
      - search filters results
- selecting a plugin opens detail view, with a list of
skills/connectors/MCP servers for the plugin
      - back action returns to the list.
- Verify disabled behavior by running /plugins without plugins enabled
(shows “Plugins are disabled” message).
- Launch with `--enable tui_app_server` (and plugins enabled) and repeat
the same /plugins flow; behavior should match.

Yaroslav VolovichandGitHub 60cd0cf75e feat(tui): add /title terminal title configuration (#12334)
## Problem

When multiple Codex sessions are open at once, terminal tabs and windows
are hard to distinguish from each other. The existing status line only
helps once the TUI is already focused, so it does not solve the "which
tab is this?" problem.

This PR adds a first-class `/title` command so the terminal window or
tab title can carry a short, configurable summary of the current
session.

## Screenshot

<img width="849" height="320" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8b112927-7890-45ed-bb1e-adf2f584663d"
/>

## Mental model

`/statusline` and `/title` are separate status surfaces with different
constraints. The status line is an in-app footer that can be denser and
more detailed. The terminal title is external terminal metadata, so it
needs short, stable segments that still make multiple sessions easy to
tell apart.

The `/title` configuration is an ordered list of compact items. By
default it renders `spinner,project`, so active sessions show
lightweight progress first while idle sessions still stay easy to
disambiguate. Each configured item is omitted when its value is not
currently available rather than forcing a placeholder.

## Non-goals

This does not merge `/title` into `/statusline`, and it does not add an
arbitrary free-form title string. The feature is intentionally limited
to a small set of structured items so the title stays short and
reviewable.

This also does not attempt to restore whatever title the terminal or
shell had before Codex started. When Codex clears the title, it clears
the title Codex last wrote.

## Tradeoffs

A separate `/title` command adds some conceptual overlap with
`/statusline`, but it keeps title-specific constraints explicit instead
of forcing the status line model to cover two different surfaces.

Title refresh can happen frequently, so the implementation now shares
parsing and git-branch orchestration between the status line and title
paths, and caches the derived project-root name by cwd. That keeps the
hot path cheap without introducing background polling.

## Architecture

The TUI gets a new `/title` slash command and a dedicated picker UI for
selecting and ordering terminal-title items. The chosen ids are
persisted in `tui.terminal_title`, with `spinner` and `project` as the
default when the config is unset. `status` remains available as a
separate text item, so configurations like `spinner,status` render
compact progress like `⠋ Working`.

`ChatWidget` now refreshes both status surfaces through a shared
`refresh_status_surfaces()` path. That shared path parses configured
items once, warns on invalid ids once, synchronizes shared cached state
such as git-branch lookup, then renders the footer status line and
terminal title from the same snapshot.

Low-level OSC title writes live in `codex-rs/tui/src/terminal_title.rs`,
which owns the terminal write path and last-mile sanitization before
emitting OSC 0.

## Security

Terminal-title text is treated as untrusted display content before Codex
emits it. The write path strips control characters, removes invisible
and bidi formatting characters that can make the title visually
misleading, normalizes whitespace, and caps the emitted length.

#9)](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/)
- [Unicode Security Considerations (UTR
#36)](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr36/)

## Observability

Unknown configured title item ids are warned about once instead of
repeatedly spamming the transcript. Live preview applies immediately
while the `/title` picker is open, and cancel rolls the in-memory title
selection back to the pre-picker value.

If terminal title writes fail, the TUI emits debug logs around set and
clear attempts. The rendered status label intentionally collapses richer
internal states into compact title text such as `Starting...`, `Ready`,
`Thinking...`, `Working...`, `Waiting...`, and `Undoing...` when
`status` is configured.

## Tests

Ran:

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

At the moment, the red Windows `rust-ci` failures are due to existing
`codex-core` `apply_patch_cli` stack-overflow tests that also reproduce
on `main`. The `/title`-specific `codex-tui` suite is green.

friel-openaiandGitHub ba463a9dc7 Preserve background terminals on interrupt and rename cleanup command to /stop (#14602)
### Motivation
- Interrupting a running turn (Ctrl+C / Esc) currently also terminates
long‑running background shells, which is surprising for workflows like
local dev servers or file watchers.
- The existing cleanup command name was confusing; callers expect an
explicit command to stop background terminals rather than a UI clear
action.
- Make background‑shell termination explicit and surface a clearer
command name while preserving backward compatibility.

### Description
- Renamed the background‑terminal cleanup slash command from `Clean`
(`/clean`) to `Stop` (`/stop`) and kept `clean` as an alias in the
command parsing/visibility layer, updated the user descriptions and
command popup wiring accordingly.
- Updated the unified‑exec footer text and snapshots to point to `/stop`
(and trimmed corresponding snapshot output to match the new label).
- Changed interrupt behavior so `Op::Interrupt` (Ctrl+C / Esc interrupt)
no longer closes or clears tracked unified exec / background terminal
processes in the TUI or core cleanup path; background shells are now
preserved after an interrupt.
- Updated protocol/docs to clarify that `turn/interrupt` (or
`Op::Interrupt`) interrupts the active turn but does not terminate
background terminals, and that `thread/backgroundTerminals/clean` is the
explicit API to stop those shells.
- Updated unit/integration tests and insta snapshots in the TUI and core
unified‑exec suites to reflect the new semantics and command name.

### Testing
- Ran formatting with `just fmt` in `codex-rs` (succeeded). 
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-protocol` (succeeded). 
- Attempted `cargo test -p codex-tui` but the build could not complete
in this environment due to a native build dependency that requires
`libcap` development headers (the `codex-linux-sandbox` vendored build
step); install `libcap-dev` / make `libcap.pc` available in
`PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to run the TUI test suite locally.
- Updated and accepted the affected `insta` snapshots for the TUI
changes so visual diffs reflect the new `/stop` wording and preserved
interrupt behavior.

Felipe CouryandGitHub c4f1af7a86 feat(tui): syntax highlighting via syntect with theme picker (#11447)
## Summary

Adds syntax highlighting to the TUI for fenced code blocks in markdown
responses and file diffs, plus a `/theme` command with live preview and
persistent theme selection. Uses syntect (~250 grammars, 32 bundled
themes, ~1 MB binary cost) — the same engine behind `bat`, `delta`, and
`xi-editor`. Includes guardrails for large inputs, graceful fallback to
plain text, and SSH-aware clipboard integration for the `/copy` command.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/25d30a00-c487-4af8-9cb6-63b0695a4be7"
/>

## Problem

Code blocks in the TUI (markdown responses and file diffs) render
without syntax highlighting, making it hard to scan code at a glance.
Users also have no way to pick a color theme that matches their terminal
aesthetic.

## Mental model

The highlighting system has three layers:

1. **Syntax engine** (`render::highlight`) -- a thin wrapper around
syntect + two-face. It owns a process-global `SyntaxSet` (~250 grammars)
and a `RwLock<Theme>` that can be swapped at runtime. All public entry
points accept `(code, lang)` and return ratatui `Span`/`Line` vectors or
`None` when the language is unrecognized or the input exceeds safety
guardrails.

2. **Rendering consumers** -- `markdown_render` feeds fenced code blocks
through the engine; `diff_render` highlights Add/Delete content as a
whole file and Update hunks per-hunk (preserving parser state across
hunk lines). Both callers fall back to plain unstyled text when the
engine returns `None`.

3. **Theme lifecycle** -- at startup the config's `tui.theme` is
resolved to a syntect `Theme` via `set_theme_override`. At runtime the
`/theme` picker calls `set_syntax_theme` to swap themes live; on cancel
it restores the snapshot taken at open. On confirm it persists `[tui]
theme = "..."` to config.toml.

## Non-goals

- Inline diff highlighting (word-level change detection within a line).
- Semantic / LSP-backed highlighting.
- Theme authoring tooling; users supply standard `.tmTheme` files.

## Tradeoffs

| Decision | Upside | Downside |
| ------------------------------------------------ |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| syntect over tree-sitter / arborium | ~1 MB binary increase for ~250
grammars + 32 themes; battle-tested crate powering widely-used tools
(`bat`, `delta`, `xi-editor`). tree-sitter would add ~12 MB for 20-30
languages or ~35 MB for full coverage. | Regex-based; less structurally
accurate than tree-sitter for some languages (e.g. language injections
like JS-in-HTML). |
| Global `RwLock<Theme>` | Enables live `/theme` preview without
threading Theme through every call site | Lock contention risk
(mitigated: reads vastly outnumber writes, single UI thread) |
| Skip background / italic / underline from themes | Terminal BG
preserved, avoids ugly rendering on some themes | Themes that rely on
these properties lose fidelity |
| Guardrails: 512 KB / 10k lines | Prevents pathological stalls on huge
diffs or pastes | Very large files render without color |

## Architecture

Key files:

- `tui/src/render/highlight.rs` -- engine, theme management, guardrails
- `tui/src/diff_render.rs` -- syntax-aware diff line wrapping
- `tui/src/theme_picker.rs` -- `/theme` command builder
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/list_selection_view.rs` -- side content panel,
callbacks
- `core/src/config/types.rs` -- `Tui::theme` field
- `core/src/config/edit.rs` -- `syntax_theme_edit()` helper

## Observability

- `tracing::warn` when a configured theme name cannot be resolved.
- `Config::startup_warnings` surfaces the same message as a TUI banner.
- `tracing::error` when persisting theme selection fails.

## Tests

- Unit tests in `highlight.rs`: language coverage, fallback behavior,
CRLF stripping, style conversion, guardrail enforcement, theme name
mapping exhaustiveness.
- Unit tests in `diff_render.rs`: snapshot gallery at multiple terminal
sizes (80x24, 94x35, 120x40), syntax-highlighted wrapping, large-diff
guardrail, rename-to-different-extension highlighting, parser state
preservation across hunk lines.
- Unit tests in `theme_picker.rs`: preview rendering (wide + narrow),
dim overlay on deletions, subtitle truncation, cancel-restore, fallback
for unavailable configured theme.
- Unit tests in `list_selection_view.rs`: side layout geometry, stacked
fallback, buffer clearing, cancel/selection-changed callbacks.
- Integration test in `lib.rs`: theme warning uses the final
(post-resume) config.

## Cargo Deny: Unmaintained Dependency Exceptions

This PR adds two `cargo deny` advisory exceptions for transitive
dependencies pulled in by `syntect v5.3.0`:

| Advisory | Crate | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| RUSTSEC-2024-0320 | `yaml-rust` | Unmaintained (maintainer
unreachable) |
| RUSTSEC-2025-0141 | `bincode` | Unmaintained (development ceased;
v1.3.3 considered complete) |

**Why this is safe in our usage:**

- Neither advisory describes a known security vulnerability. Both are
"unmaintained" notices only.
- `bincode` is used by syntect to deserialize pre-compiled syntax sets.
Again, these are **static vendored artifacts** baked into the binary at
build time. No user-supplied bincode data is ever deserialized. - Attack
surface is zero for both crates; exploitation would require a
supply-chain compromise of our own build artifacts.
- These exceptions can be removed when syntect migrates to `yaml-rust2`
and drops `bincode`, or when alternative crates are available upstream.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 5c3ca73914 add a slash command to grant sandbox read access to inaccessible directories (#11512)
There is an edge case where a directory is not readable by the sandbox.
In practice, we've seen very little of it, but it can happen so this
slash command unlocks users when it does.

Future idea is to make this a tool that the agent knows about so it can
be more integrated.

jif-oaiandGitHub 6cf61725d0 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

b0e5a6305b feat(tui): add /statusline command for interactive status line configuration (#10546)
## Summary
- Adds a new `/statusline` command to configure TUI footer status line
- Introduces reusable `MultiSelectPicker` component with keyboard
navigation, optional ordering and toggle support
- Implement status line setup modal that persist configuration to
config.toml

  ## Status Line Items
  The following items can be displayed in the status line:
  - **Model**: Current model name (with optional reasoning level)
  - **Context**: Remaining/used context window percentage
  - **Rate Limits**: 5-day and weekly usage limits
  - **Git**: Current branch (with optimized lookups)
  - **Tokens**: Used tokens, input/output token counts
  - **Session**: Session ID (full or shortened prefix)
  - **Paths**: Current directory, project root
  - **Version**: Codex version

  ## Features
  - Live preview while configuring status line items
  - Fuzzy search filtering in the picker
  - Intelligent truncation when items don't fit
  - Items gracefully omit when data is unavailable
  - Configuration persists to `config.toml`
  - Validates and warns about invalid status line items

  ## Test plan
  - [x] Run `/statusline` and verify picker UI appears
  - [x] Toggle items on/off and verify live preview updates
  - [x] Confirm selection persists after restart
  - [x] Verify truncation behavior with many items selected
  - [x] Test git branch detection in and out of git repos

Charley CunninghamandGitHub 3392c5af24 Nicer highlighting of slash commands, /plan accepts prompt args and pasted images (#10269)
## Summary
- Make typed slash commands become text elements when the user hits
space, including paste‑burst spaces.
- Enable `/plan` to accept inline args and submit them in plan mode,
mirroring `/review` behavior and blocking submission while a task is
running.
- Preserve text elements/attachments for slash commands that take args.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/446024df-b69a-4249-85db-1a85110e07f1"
/>

## Changes
- Add safe helper to insert element ranges in the textarea.
- Extend command‑with‑args pipeline to carry text elements and reuse
submission prep.
- Update `/plan` dispatch to switch to plan mode then submit prompt +
elements.
- Document new composer behavior and add tests.

## Notes
- `/plan` is blocked during active tasks (same as `/review`).
- Slash‑command elementization recognizes built‑ins and `/prompts:`
custom commands only.

1ef5455eb6 Conversation naming (#8991)
Session renaming:
- `/rename my_session`
- `/rename` without arg and passing an argument in `customViewPrompt`
- AppExitInfo shows resume hint using the session name if set instead of
uuid, defaults to uuid if not set
- Names are stored in `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl`

Session resuming:
- codex resume <name> lookup for `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl` first entry
matching the name and resumes the session
