## Why
Windows can represent the same canonical local path with either a normal
drive path or a verbatim device path prefix. The failure pattern that
motivated this PR was an assertion diff like `C:\...` versus
`\\?\C:\...`: different spellings, same file.
That became visible while validating the permissions stack above this
PR. The stack increasingly routes paths through `AbsolutePathBuf`, which
normalizes supported Windows device prefixes, while several existing
tests still built expected values directly with
`std::fs::canonicalize()` or compared `AbsolutePathBuf::as_path()` to a
raw `PathBuf`. On Windows, that can make tests fail because the two
sides choose different textual forms for an otherwise equivalent
canonical path.
This PR is intentionally split out as the bottom PR below #19606. The
runtime permissions migration should not carry unrelated Windows test
stabilization, and reviewers should be able to verify this as a
test-only change before looking at the larger permissions changes.
## Failure Modes Covered
- `conversation_summary` expected rollout paths were built from raw
canonicalized `PathBuf`s, while app-server responses could carry
`AbsolutePathBuf`-normalized paths.
- `thread_resume` compared returned thread paths directly to previously
stored or fixture paths, so a verbatim-prefix spelling could fail an
otherwise correct resume.
- `marketplace_add` compared plugin install roots through `as_path()`
against raw canonicalized paths, reproducing the same `C:\...` versus
`\\?\C:\...` mismatch in both app-server and core-plugin coverage.
## What Changed
- In `app-server/tests/suite/conversation_summary.rs`, normalize both
expected rollout paths and received `ConversationSummary.path` values
through `AbsolutePathBuf` before comparing the full summary object.
- In `app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_resume.rs`, normalize both sides
of thread path comparisons before asserting equality. This keeps the
tests focused on whether resume returned the same existing path, not
whether Windows used the same string spelling.
- In `app-server/tests/suite/v2/marketplace_add.rs` and
`core-plugins/src/marketplace_add.rs`, compare install roots as
`AbsolutePathBuf` values instead of comparing an absolute-path wrapper
to a raw canonicalized `PathBuf`.
## Behavior
This PR does not change production app-server or marketplace behavior.
It only changes tests to assert semantic path identity across Windows
path spelling variants. It also leaves API response values untouched;
the normalization happens inside assertions only.
## Verification
Targeted local checks run while extracting this fix:
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
get_conversation_summary_by_thread_id_reads_rollout`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
get_conversation_summary_by_relative_rollout_path_resolves_from_codex_home`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_resume_prefers_path_over_thread_id`
Windows-specific confidence comes from the Bazel Windows CI job for this
PR, since the failure is platform-specific.
## Docs
No docs update is needed because this is test-only infrastructure
stabilization.

## Summary
- Add a remote plugin install write call that POSTs the selected remote
plugin to the ChatGPT cloud plugin API.
- Align remote install with the latest remote read contract:
`pluginName` carries the backend remote plugin id directly, for example
`plugins~Plugin_linear`, and install no longer synthesizes
`<name>@<marketplace>` ids.
- Validate remote install ids with the same character rules as remote
read, return the same install response shape as local installs, and
include mocked app-server coverage for the write path.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all plugin_install`
- `cargo test -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core-plugins`
Add a temporary internal remote_plugin feature flag that merges remote
marketplaces into plugin/list and routes plugin/read through the remote
APIs when needed, while keeping pure local marketplaces working as
before.

## Summary
Fixes#16637. (I hit this bug after 11h of work on a long-running task.)
Plugin cache initialization could panic when an already-absolute cache
path was normalized through `AbsolutePathBuf::from_absolute_path`,
because that path still consulted `current_dir()`.
This changes absolute-path normalization so already-absolute paths do
not depend on cwd, and makes plugin cache root construction available as
a fallible path through `PluginStore::try_new()`. Plugin cache subpaths
now use `AbsolutePathBuf::join()` instead of re-absolutizing derived
absolute paths.
## Summary
- add first-class marketplace support for git-backed plugin sources
- keep the newer marketplace parsing behavior from `main`, including
alternate manifest locations and string local sources
- materialize remote plugin sources during install, detail reads, and
non-curated cache refresh
- expose git plugin source metadata through the app-server protocol
## Details
This teaches the marketplace parser to accept all of the following:
- local string sources such as `"source": "./plugins/foo"`
- local object sources such as
`{"source":"local","path":"./plugins/foo"}`
- remote repo-root sources such as
`{"source":"url","url":"https://github.com/org/repo.git"}`
- remote subdir sources such as
`{"source":"git-subdir","url":"owner/repo","path":"plugins/foo","ref":"main","sha":"..."}`
It also preserves the newer tolerant behavior from `main`: invalid or
unsupported plugin entries are skipped instead of breaking the whole
marketplace.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core plugins::marketplace::tests`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Notes
- A full `cargo test -p codex-core` run still hit unrelated existing
failures in agent and multi-agent tests during this session; the
marketplace-focused suite passed after the rebase resolution.
Load plugin manifests through a shared discoverable-path helper so
manifest reads, installs, and skill names all see the same alternate
manifest location.
## 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.
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.
