## Why
view_image needs to support foreign OS remote executors.
## What
- resolve image paths against the selected environment as `PathUri` and
read them through that environment's filesystem
- keep app-server's public path field wire-compatible as
`LegacyAppPathString`, with purpose-specific UI rendering
- cover relative and absolute target-native paths in the core
integration test and run the full `view_image` suite under wine-exec
without skips
## Why
Remote stdio MCP servers can run in an environment whose path convention
differs from the Codex host. A Windows cwd such as
`C:\Users\openai\share` is absolute for the executor but was rejected by
a POSIX orchestrator.
Built on #29501, now merged, which only clarifies the host-native
`PathUri` constructor name.
## What changed
- Deserialize MCP cwd values as `LegacyAppPathString` so config does not
apply host path rules.
- Interpret that spelling as host-native for local launches and convert
it to `PathUri` at executor launch.
- Skip host filesystem and command resolution checks for remote stdio in
`codex doctor`.
- Add host-independent config and executor-boundary coverage using the
foreign path convention for each test platform.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-utils-path-uri -p codex-config -p codex-mcp -p
codex-rmcp-client` (408 passed)
- `just test -p codex-cli -p codex-rmcp-client` (372 passed)
- `cargo check --workspace --tests`
- `just test` (11,311 passed; 43 unrelated environment/timing failures)
- `just fix -p codex-cli -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-mcp -p
codex-mcp-extension -p codex-rmcp-client -p codex-tui`
## Why
App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.
## What changed
- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion
## Why
`ApiPathString` kind of implies that it can be used anywhere we pull a
path out of JSON, but it's not really appropriate for tool arguments
when the model might generate relative paths.
Prefer `String` for model-generated paths and we can handle the
conversion per feature for now and define a shared abstraction later if
it makes sense.
# What
Rename `ApiPathString` to `AppLegacyPathString` to clarify its role.
Expand the `path-types` skill to tell the model to leave tool args as
bare strings.
## Why
Clients running an app-server on one OS and an exec-server on another OS
need to be able to pass sandbox config to app-server that refers to
resources on the executor's foreign OS.
## What
`AbsolutePathBuf` can't represent these paths and we don't want users to
be exposed to `PathUri` yet, so this moves the public app-server API to
be expressed in terms of `ApiPathString`.
Stacked on #28165.
- change app-server v2 filesystem permission paths, including legacy
read/write roots, to `ApiPathString`
- localize API paths through `PathUri` when converting into the current
native core permission types
- make path-bearing permission conversions fallible and surface
localization failures instead of silently treating malformed grants as
ordinary denials
- propagate conversion failures through app-server and TUI approval
handling
- regenerate the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas
- leave migration TODOs on native-path conversions so they can be
removed once core permission paths use `PathUri`
## Why
We're moving to `PathUri` in more places to support cross-OS
app-server/exec-server, but we don't want to expose the URI encoding to
users of app-server's public APIs yet.
We'll need to translate at the app-server API boundary between
client-visible "regular" paths that are appropriate for the OS of the
environment for which the paths make sense, which means using the
environment's path personality to do the conversion.
`PathUri` doesn't yet attempt to encode environment ID, so for now we'll
sniff the most likely path convention for a given path.
## What
- Add `PathConvention` and `NativePathString` with host-independent
POSIX, Windows drive, and UNC rendering.
- Cover cross-host rendering, encoding, Unicode, invalid components.
