## Summary
- add `skill_approval` to `RejectConfig` and the app-server v2
`AskForApproval::Reject` payload so skill-script prompts can be
configured independently from sandbox and rule-based prompts
- update Unix shell escalation to reject prompts based on the actual
decision source, keeping prefix rules tied to `rules`, unmatched command
fallbacks tied to `sandbox_approval`, and skill scripts tied to
`skill_approval`
- regenerate the affected protocol/config schemas and expand
unit/integration coverage for the new flag and skill approval behavior
## Summary
We need to support allowing request_permissions calls when using
`Reject` policy

Note that this is a backwards-incompatible change for Reject policy. I'm
not sure if we need to add a default based on our current use/setup
## Testing
- [x] Added tests
- [x] Tested locally
followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13212 to expose fast
tier controls to app server
(majority of this PR is generated schema jsons - actual code is +69 /
-35 and +24 tests )
- add service tier fields to the app-server protocol surfaces used by
thread lifecycle, turn start, config, and session configured events
- thread service tier through the app-server message processor and core
thread config snapshots
- allow runtime config overrides to carry service tier for app-server
callers
cleanup:
- Removing useless "legacy" code supporting "standard" - we moved to
None | "fast", so "standard" is not needed.
Add service name to the app-server so that the app can use it's own
service name
This is on thread level because later we might plan the app-server to
become a singleton on the computer
These fields had always been documented as experimental/unstable with
docstrings, but now let's actually use the `experimental` annotation to
be more explicit.
- thread/start.experimentalRawEvents
- thread/resume.history
- thread/resume.path
- thread/fork.path
- turn/start.collaborationMode
- account/login/start.chatgptAuthTokens
## Problem being solved
- We need a single, reliable way to mark app-server API surface as
experimental so that:
1. the runtime can reject experimental usage unless the client opts in
2. generated TS/JSON schemas can exclude experimental methods/fields for
stable clients.
Right now that’s easy to drift or miss when done ad-hoc.
## How to declare experimental methods and fields
- **Experimental method**: add `#[experimental("method/name")]` to the
`ClientRequest` variant in `client_request_definitions!`.
- **Experimental field**: on the params struct, derive `ExperimentalApi`
and annotate the field with `#[experimental("method/name.field")]` + set
`inspect_params: true` for the method variant so
`ClientRequest::experimental_reason()` inspects params for experimental
fields.
## How the macro solves it
- The new derive macro lives in
`codex-rs/codex-experimental-api-macros/src/lib.rs` and is used via
`#[derive(ExperimentalApi)]` plus `#[experimental("reason")]`
attributes.
- **Structs**:
- Generates `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason(&self)` that checks
only annotated fields.
- The “presence” check is type-aware:
- `Option<T>`: `is_some_and(...)` recursively checks inner.
- `Vec`/`HashMap`/`BTreeMap`: must be non-empty.
- `bool`: must be `true`.
- Other types: considered present (returns `true`).
- Registers each experimental field in an `inventory` with `(type_name,
serialized field name, reason)` and exposes `EXPERIMENTAL_FIELDS` for
that type. Field names are converted from `snake_case` to `camelCase`
for schema/TS filtering.
- **Enums**:
- Generates an exhaustive `match` returning `Some(reason)` for annotated
variants and `None` otherwise (no wildcard arm).
- **Wiring**:
- Runtime gating uses `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason()` in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` to reject requests unless
`InitializeParams.capabilities.experimental_api == true`.
- Schema/TS export filters use the inventory list and
`EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_METHODS` from `client_request_definitions!` to
strip experimental methods/fields when `experimental_api` is false.
Similar to what @sayan-oai did in openai/codex#8956 for
`config.schema.json`, this PR updates the repo so that it includes the
output of `codex app-server generate-json-schema` and `codex app-server
generate-ts` and adds a test to verify it is in sync with the current
code.
Motivation:
- This makes any schema changes introduced by a PR transparent during
code review.
- In particular, this should help us catch PRs that would introduce a
non-backwards-compatible change to the app schema (eventually, this
should also be enforced by tooling).
- Once https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10231 is in to formalize the
notion of "experimental" fields, we can work on ensuring the
non-experimental bits are backwards-compatible.
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/tests/schema_fixtures.rs` was added as the
test and `just write-app-server-schema` can be use to generate the
vendored schema files.
Incidentally, when I run:
```
rg _ codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/v2
```
I see a number of `snake_case` names that should be `camelCase`.
