## Summary
- adds managed requirements support for deny-read filesystem entries
- constrains config layers so managed deny-read requirements cannot be
widened by user-controlled config
- surfaces managed deny-read requirements through debug/config plumbing
This PR lets managed requirements inject deny-read filesystem
constraints into the effective filesystem sandbox policy.
User-controlled config can still choose the surrounding permission
profile, but it cannot remove or weaken the managed deny-read entries.
## Managed deny-read shape
A managed requirements file can declare exact paths and glob patterns
under `[permissions.filesystem]`:
```toml
# /etc/codex/requirements.toml
[permissions.filesystem]
deny_read = [
"/Users/alice/.gitconfig",
"/Users/alice/.ssh",
"./managed-private/**/*.env",
]
```
Those entries are compiled into the effective filesystem policy as
`access = none` rules, equivalent in shape to filesystem permission
entries like:
```toml
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
"/Users/alice/.gitconfig" = "none"
"/Users/alice/.ssh" = "none"
"/absolute/path/to/managed-private/**/*.env" = "none"
```
The important difference is that the managed entries come from
requirements, so lower-precedence user config cannot remove them or make
those paths readable again.
Relative managed `deny_read` entries are resolved relative to the
directory containing the managed requirements file. Glob entries keep
their glob suffix after the non-glob prefix is normalized.
## Runtime behavior
- Managed `deny_read` entries are appended to the effective
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` after the selected permission profile is
resolved.
- Exact paths become `FileSystemPath::Path { access: None }`; glob
patterns become `FileSystemPath::GlobPattern { access: None }`.
- When managed deny-read entries are present, `sandbox_mode` is
constrained to `read-only` or `workspace-write`; `danger-full-access`
and `external-sandbox` cannot silently bypass the managed read-deny
policy.
- On Windows, the managed deny-read policy is enforced for direct file
tools, but shell subprocess reads are not sandboxed yet, so startup
emits a warning for that platform.
- `/debug-config` shows the effective managed requirement as
`permissions.filesystem.deny_read` with its source.

… import
## Why
`externalAgentConfig/import` used to spawn plugin imports in the
background and return immediately. That meant local marketplace imports
could still be in flight when the caller refreshed plugin state, so
newly imported plugins would not show up right away.
This change makes local marketplace imports complete before the RPC
returns, while keeping remote marketplace imports asynchronous so we do
not block on remote fetches.
## What changed
- split plugin migration details into local and remote marketplace
imports based on the external config source
- import local marketplaces synchronously during
`externalAgentConfig/import`
- return pending remote plugin imports to the app-server so it can
finish them in the background
- clear the plugin and skills caches before responding to plugin
imports, and again after background remote imports complete, so the next
`plugin/list` reloads fresh state
- keep marketplace source parsing encapsulated behind
`is_local_marketplace_source(...)` instead of re-exporting the internal
enum
- add core and app-server coverage for the synchronous local import path
and the pending remote import path
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (currently fails an existing unrelated
test:
`config_loader::tests::cli_override_can_update_project_local_mcp_server_when_project_is_trusted`)
- `cargo test` (currently fails existing `codex-app-server` integration
tests in MCP/skills/thread-start areas, plus the unrelated `codex-core`
failure above)
## Summary
This changes Codex logout so managed ChatGPT auth is revoked against
AuthAPI before local auth state is removed. CLI logout, TUI `/logout`,
and the app-server account logout path now use the token-revoking logout
flow instead of only deleting `auth.json` / credential store state.
## Root Cause
Logout previously cleared only local auth storage. That removed Codex's
local credentials but did not ask the backend to invalidate the
refresh/access token state associated with a managed ChatGPT login.
## Behavior
For managed ChatGPT auth, logout sends the stored refresh token to
`https://auth.openai.com/oauth/revoke` with `token_type_hint:
refresh_token` and the Codex OAuth client id, then deletes all local
auth stores after revocation succeeds. If only an access token is
available, it falls back to revoking that access token. API key auth and
externally supplied `chatgptAuthTokens` are still only cleared locally
because Codex does not own a refresh token for those modes.
Revocation failures are fail-closed: if Codex cannot load stored auth or
the backend revoke call fails, logout returns an error and leaves local
auth in place so the user can retry instead of silently clearing local
state while backend tokens remain valid.
## Validation
ran local version of `codex-cli` with staging overrides/harness for auth
ran `codex login` then `codex logout`:
saw auth.json clear and backend revocation endpoints were called
```
POST /oauth/revoke
status: 200
revoking access token
should clear auth session
clearing auth session due to token revocation
successfully revoked session and access token
CANONICAL-API-LINE Response: status='200' method='POST' path='/oauth/revoke
```

Summary
- refactor thread/read into explicit persisted-load, live-load, and
merge steps
- preserve existing SQLite/filesystem/live-thread behavior exactly
- keep ThreadStore migration out of this PR so the next PR is easier to
review
Validation
- this one's a pure reorganization that relies on existing test coverage
Load plugin manifests through a shared discoverable-path helper so
manifest reads, installs, and skill names all see the same alternate
manifest location.
## Summary
- Switch the unknown-thread MCP resource read test from the stdio
subprocess to the in-process app-server path.
- Keep the assertion focused on the returned error message while
avoiding child-process teardown timing issues in nextest.
## Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
- set the realtime v2 server VAD silence delay to 500ms
- update the default realtime 1.5 backend prompt to the v4 text
- keep the session payload and prompt rendering tests aligned with those
changes
## Why
- the VAD change gives the voice path a longer pause before ending the
user's turn
- the prompt change makes the default bundled realtime prompt match the
current v4 content

## Notes
The full local app-server E2E path is still being debugged after PR
creation. The current branch stack is directionally ready for review
while that follow-up continues.
## Problem
When a user resumed or forked a session, the TUI could render the
restored thread history immediately, but it did not receive token usage
until a later model turn emitted a fresh usage event. That left the
context/status UI blank or stale during the exact window where the user
expects resumed state to look complete. Core already reconstructed token
usage from the rollout; the missing behavior was app-server lifecycle
replay to the client that just attached.
## Mental model
Token usage has two representations. The rollout is the durable source
of historical `TokenCount` events, and the core session cache is the
in-memory snapshot reconstructed from that rollout on resume or fork.
App-server v2 clients do not read core state directly; they learn about
usage through `thread/tokenUsage/updated`. The fix keeps those roles
separate: core exposes the restored `TokenUsageInfo`, and app-server
sends one targeted notification after a successful `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response when that restored snapshot exists.
This notification is not a new model event. It is a replay of
already-persisted state for the client that just attached. That
distinction matters because using the normal core event path here would
risk duplicating `TokenCount` entries in the rollout and making future
resumes count historical usage twice.
## Non-goals
This change does not add a new protocol method or payload shape. It
reuses the existing v2 `thread/tokenUsage/updated` notification and the
TUI’s existing handler for that notification.
This change does not alter how token usage is computed, accumulated,
compacted, or written during turns. It only exposes the token usage that
resume and fork reconstruction already restored.
This change does not broadcast historical usage replay to every
subscribed client. The replay is intentionally scoped to the connection
that requested resume or fork so already-attached clients are not
surprised by an old usage update while they may be rendering live
activity.
## Tradeoffs
Sending the usage notification after the JSON-RPC response preserves a
clear lifecycle order: the client first receives the thread object, then
receives restored usage for that thread. The tradeoff is that usage is
still a notification rather than part of the `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response. That keeps the protocol shape stable and avoids
duplicating usage fields across response types, but clients must
continue listening for notifications after receiving the response.
The helper selects the latest non-in-progress turn id for the replayed
usage notification. This is conservative because restored usage belongs
to completed persisted accounting, not to newly attached in-flight work.
The fallback to the last turn preserves a stable wire payload for
unusual histories, but histories with no meaningful completed turn still
have a weak attribution story.
## Architecture
Core already seeds `Session` token state from the last persisted rollout
`TokenCount` during `InitialHistory::Resumed` and
`InitialHistory::Forked`. The new core accessor exposes the complete
`TokenUsageInfo` through `CodexThread` without giving app-server direct
session mutation authority.
App-server calls that accessor from three lifecycle paths: cold
`thread/resume`, running-thread resume/rejoin, and `thread/fork`. In
each path, the server sends the normal response first, then calls a
shared helper that converts core usage into
`ThreadTokenUsageUpdatedNotification` and sends it only to the
requesting connection.
The tests build fake rollouts with a user turn plus a persisted token
usage event. They then exercise `thread/resume` and `thread/fork`
without starting another model turn, proving that restored usage arrives
before any next-turn token event could be produced.
## Observability
The primary debug path is the app-server JSON-RPC stream. After
`thread/resume` or `thread/fork`, a client should see the response
followed by `thread/tokenUsage/updated` when the source rollout includes
token usage. If the notification is absent, check whether the rollout
contains an `event_msg` payload of type `token_count`, whether core
reconstruction seeded `Session::token_usage_info`, and whether the
connection stayed attached long enough to receive the targeted
notification.
The notification is sent through the existing
`OutgoingMessageSender::send_server_notification_to_connections` path,
so existing app-server tracing around server notifications still
applies. Because this is a replay, not a model turn event, debugging
should start at the resume/fork handlers rather than the turn event
translation in `bespoke_event_handling`.
## Tests
The focused regression coverage is `cargo test -p codex-app-server
emits_restored_token_usage`, which covers both resume and fork. The core
reconstruction guard is `cargo test -p codex-core
record_initial_history_seeds_token_info_from_rollout`.
Formatting and lint/fix passes were run with `just fmt`, `just fix -p
codex-core`, and `just fix -p codex-app-server`. Full crate test runs
surfaced pre-existing unrelated failures in command execution and plugin
marketplace tests; the new token usage tests passed in focused runs and
within the app-server suite before the unrelated command execution
failure.
## Summary
- replace the unsubscribe-during-turn test's sleep/polling flow with a
gated streaming SSE response
- add request-count notification support to the streaming SSE test
server so the test can wait for the in-flight Responses request
deterministically
## Scope

- codex-rs/core/tests/common/streaming_sse.rs
## Validation
- Not run locally; this is a narrow extraction from the prior CI-green
branch.

## Summary
- Add best-effort auto-upgrade for user-configured Git marketplaces
recorded in `config.toml`.
- Track the last activated Git revision with `last_revision` so
unchanged marketplace sources skip clone work.
- Trigger the upgrade from plugin startup and `plugin/list`, while
preserving existing fail-open plugin behavior with warning logs rather
than new user-visible errors.
## Details
- Remote configured marketplaces use `git ls-remote` to compare the
source/ref against the recorded revision.
- Upgrades clone into a staging directory, validate that
`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` exists and that the manifest name
matches the configured marketplace key, then atomically activate the new
root.
- Local `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` marketplaces remain live
filesystem state and are not auto-pulled.
- Existing non-curated plugin cache refresh is kicked after successful
marketplace root upgrades.
## Validation
- `just write-config-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_upgrade`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
Did not run the complete `cargo test` suite because the repo
instructions require asking before a full core workspace run.
Fix app-server startup when `remote_control = true` is enabled without
ChatGPT auth.
Remote control now starts in a degraded/retrying state instead of
failing app-server initialization, so Desktop is not stranded before the
initial initialize handshake.
Make sure Bazel logs shows every errors so that we can debug flakes +
fix a small flake on Windows by updating the sleep command to a
`Start-Sleep` instead of a PowerShell nested command (otherwise we had
double nesting which is absurdely slow)
Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/17143
Problem: TUI interrupts without an active turn stopped cancelling slow
MCP startup after routing through the app-server APIs.
Solution: Route no-active-turn interrupts through app-server as startup
cancels, acknowledge them immediately, and emit cancelled MCP startup
updates.
Testing: I manually confirmed that MCP cancellation didn't work prior to
this PR and works after the fix was in place.
Split plugin loading, marketplace, and related infrastructure out of
core into codex-core-plugins, while keeping the core-facing
configuration and orchestration flow in codex-core.

- [x] Add resource uri meta to tool call item so that the app-server
client can start prefetching resources immediately without loading mcp
server status.
## Summary
- Make command/exec output-delta tests accumulate streamed chunks
instead of assuming complete logical output in a single notification.
- Collect stdout and stderr independently so stream interleaving does
not fail the pipe streaming test.
## Why
The command/exec protocol exposes output as deltas, so tests should not
rely on chunk boundaries being stable. A line like `out-start\n` may
arrive split across multiple notifications, and stdout/stderr
notifications may interleave.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server suite::v2::command_exec`
## Summary
- wrap realtime startup context in
`<startup_context>...</startup_context>` tags
- prefix V2 mirrored user text and relayed backend text with `[USER]` /
`[BACKEND]`
- remove the V2 progress suffix and replace the final V2 handoff output
with a short completion acknowledgement while preserving the existing V1
wrapper

## Summary
1. Revert https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17848 so the Bazel and

## Validation
1. Reviewed the revert diff against `main`.
2. Ran a clean diff check before push.
Dismiss stale TUI app-server approvals after remote resolution
When an approval, user-input prompt, or elicitation request is resolved
by another client, the TUI now dismisses the matching local UI instead
of leaving stale prompts behind and emitting a misleading local
cancellation.
This change teaches pending app-server request tracking to map
`serverRequest/resolved` notifications back to the concrete request type
and stable request key, then propagates that resolved request into TUI
prompt state. Approval, request-user-input, and MCP elicitation overlays
now drop the resolved current or queued request quietly, advance to the
next queued request when present, and avoid emitting abort/cancel events
for stale UI.
The latest update also retires matching prompts while they are still
deferred behind active streaming and suppresses buffered active-thread
requests whose app-server request id has already been resolved before
drain. `ChatWidget` removes a resolved request from both the deferred
interrupt queue and the materialized bottom-pane stack, while
active-thread request handling verifies the app-server request is still
pending before showing a prompt. Lifecycle events such as exec begin/end
remain queued so approved work can still render normally.
Tests cover resolved-request mapping, overlay dismissal behavior,
deferred prompt pruning for same-turn user input, exec approval IDs,
lifecycle-event retention, and the buffered active-thread ordering
regression.

# Summary
- implement local ThreadStore archive/unarchive operations
- implement local ThreadStore read_thread operation
- break up the various ThreadStore local method implementations into
separate files
- migrate app-server archive/unarchive and core archive fixture to use
ThreadStore (but not all read operations yet!)
- use the ThreadStore's read operation as a proxy check for thread
persistence/existence in the app server code
- move all other filesystem operations related to archive (path
validation etc) into the local thread store.
# Tests
- add dedicated local store archive/unarchive tests
## Summary
1. Add a Security Boundaries section to `SECURITY.md`.
2. Point readers to the Codex Agent approvals and security documentation
for sandboxing, approvals, and network controls.
## Validation
1. Reviewed the `SECURITY.md` diff in a clean worktree.
2. No tests run. Docs only change.
## Summary
- Track outbound remote-control sequence IDs independently for each
client stream.
- Retain unacked outbound messages per stream using FIFO buffers.
- Require stream-scoped acks and update tests for contiguous per-stream
sequencing.
## Why
The remote-control peer uses outbound sequence gaps to detect lost
messages and re-initialize. A single global outbound sequence counter
can create apparent gaps on an individual stream when another stream
receives an interleaved message.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server remote_control`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `git diff --check`
Builds on top of #17659
Move the filesystem + sqlite thread listing-related operations inside of
a local ThreadStore implementation and call ThreadStore from the places
that used to perform these filesystem/sqlite operations.
This is the first of a series of PRs that will implement the rest of the
local ThreadStore.
Testing:
- added unit tests for the thread store implementation
- adjusted some unit tests in the realtime + personality packages whose
callsites changed. Specifically I'm trying to hide ThreadMetadata inside
of the local implementation and make ThreadMetadata a sqlite
implementation detail concern rather than a public interface, preferring
the more generate StoredThread interface instead
- added a corner case test for the personality migration package that
wasn't covered by the existing test suite
- adjust the behavior of searched thread listing to run the existing
local rollout repair/backfill pass _before_ querying SQLite results, so
callers using ThreadStore::list_threads do not miss matches after a
partial metadata warm-up
## Summary
Stack PR 2 of 4 for feature-gated agent identity support.
This PR adds agent identity registration behind
`features.use_agent_identity`. It keeps the app-server protocol
unchanged and starts registration after ChatGPT auth exists rather than
requiring a client restart.

stacked on #17402.
MCP tools returned by `tool_search` (deferred tools) get registered in
our `ToolRegistry` with a different format than directly available
tools. this leads to two different ways of accessing MCP tools from our
tool catalog, only one of which works for each. fix this by registering
all MCP tools with the namespace format, since this info is already
available.
also, direct MCP tools are registered to responsesapi without a
namespace, while deferred MCP tools have a namespace. this means we can
receive MCP `FunctionCall`s in both formats from namespaces. fix this by
always registering MCP tools with namespace, regardless of deferral
status.
make code mode track `ToolName` provenance of tools so it can map the
literal JS function name string to the correct `ToolName` for
invocation, rather than supporting both in core.
this lets us unify to a single canonical `ToolName` representation for
each MCP tool and force everywhere to use that one, without supporting
fallbacks.
## Summary
- Port marketplace source support into the shared core marketplace-add
flow
- Support local marketplace directory sources
- Support direct `marketplace.json` URL sources
- Persist the new source types in config/schema and cover them in CLI
and app-server tests
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_add`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli marketplace_add`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server marketplace_add`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
## Context
Current `main` moved marketplace-add behavior into shared core code and
still assumed only git-backed sources. This change keeps that structure
but restores support for local directories and direct manifest URLs in
the shared path.
Problem: PR #17372 moved initialized request handling into
`dispatch_initialized_client_request`, leaving analytics code that uses
`connection_id` without a local binding and breaking `codex-app-server`
builds.
Solution: Restore the `connection_id` binding from
`connection_request_id` before initialized request validation and
analytics tracking.
## Summary
- Refactors `MessageProcessor` and per-connection session state so
initialized service RPC handling can be moved into spawned tasks in a
follow-up PR.
- Shares the processor and initialized session data with
`Arc`/`OnceLock` instead of mutable borrowed connection state.
- Keeps initialized request handling synchronous in this PR; it does
**not** call `tokio::spawn` for service RPCs yet.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server` *(fails on existing hardening gaps
covered by #17375, #17376, and #17377; the pipelined config regression
passed before the unrelated failures)*
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
To allow the ability to have guaranteed-unique cursors, we make two
important updates:
* Add new updated_at_ms and created_at_ms columns that are in
millisecond precision
* Guarantee uniqueness -- if multiple items are inserted at the same
millisecond, bump the new one by one millisecond until it becomes unique
This lets us use single-number cursors for forwards and backwards paging
through resultsets and guarantee that the cursor is a fixed point to do
(timestamp > cursor) and get new items only.
This updated implementation is backwards-compatible since multiple
appservers can be running and won't handle the previous method well.
- Add outputModality to thread/realtime/start and wire text/audio output
selection through app-server, core, API, and TUI.\n- Rename the realtime
transcript delta notification and add a separate transcript done
notification that forwards final text from item done without correlating
it with deltas.
