[bazel] Improve runfiles handling (#10098 )

we can't use runfiles directory on Windows due to path lengths, so swap
to manifest strategy. Parsing the manifest is a bit complex and the
format is changing in Bazel upstream, so pull in the official Rust
library (via a small hack to make it importable...) and cleanup all the
associated logic to work cleanly in both bazel and cargo without extra
confusion

Added tui.notifications_method config option (#10043 )

This PR adds a new `tui.notifications_method` config option that accepts
values of "auto", "osc9" and "bel". It defaults to "auto", which
attempts to auto-detect whether the terminal supports OSC 9 escape
sequences and falls back to BEL if not.

The PR also removes the inconsistent handling of notifications on
Windows when WSL was used.

chore: deprecate old web search feature flags (#10097 )

deprecate all old web search flags and aliases, including:
- `[features].web_search_request` and `[features].web_search_cached`
- `[tools].web_search`
- `[features].web_search`

slightly rework `legacy_usages` to enable pointing to non-features from
deprecated features; we need to point to `web_search` (not under
`[features]`) from things like `[features].web_search_cached` and
`[features].web_search_request`.

Added integration tests to confirm deprecation notice is shown on
explicit enablement and disablement of deprecated flags.

Refine request_user_input TUI interactions and option UX (#10025 )

## Summary
Overhaul the ask‑user‑questions TUI to support “Other/None” answers,
better notes handling, improved option selection
UX, and a safer submission flow with confirmation for unanswered
questions.

Multiple choice (number keys for quick selection, up/down or jk for
cycling through options):
<img width="856" height="169" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 22 29 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cabd1b0e-25e0-4859-bd8f-9941192ca274"
/>

Tab to add notes:
<img width="856" height="197" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 22 45 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a807db5e-e966-412c-af91-6edc60062f35"
/>

Freeform (also note enter tooltip is highlighted on last question to
indicate questions UI will be exited upon submission):
<img width="854" height="112" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 23 13 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2e7b88bf-062b-4b9f-a9da-c9d8c8a59643"
/>

Confirmation dialogue (submitting with unanswered questions):
<img width="854" height="126" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 7 23 29 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/93965c8f-54ac-45bc-a660-9625bcd101f8"
/>

## Key Changes
- **Options UI refresh**
- Render options as numbered entries; allow number keys to select &
submit.
- Remove “Option X/Y” header and allow the question UI height to expand
naturally.
- Keep spacing between question, options, and notes even when notes are
visible.
- Hide the title line and render the question prompt in cyan **only when
uncommitted**.

- **“Other / None of the above” support**
  - Wire `isOther` to add “None of the above”.
  - Add guidance text: “Optionally, add details in notes (tab).”

- **Notes composer UX**
- Remove “Notes” heading; place composer directly under the selected
option.
- Preserve pending paste placeholders across question navigation and
after submission.
  - Ctrl+C clears notes **only when the notes composer has focus**.
  - Ctrl+C now triggers an immediate redraw so the clear is visible.

- **Committed vs uncommitted state**
  - Introduce a unified `answer_committed` flag per question.
- Editing notes (including adding text or pastes) marks the answer
uncommitted.
- Changing the option highlight (j/k, up/down) marks the answer
uncommitted.
  - Clearing options (Backspace/Delete) also clears pending notes.
  - Question prompt turns cyan only when the answer is uncommitted.

- **Submission safety & confirmation**
  - Only submit notes/freeform text once explicitly committed.
- Last-question submit with unanswered questions shows a confirmation
dialog.
  - Confirmation options:
    1. **Proceed** (default)
    2. **Go back**
  - Description reflects count: “Submit with N unanswered question(s).”
  - Esc/Backspace in confirmation returns to first unanswered question.
  - Ctrl+C in confirmation interrupts and exits the overlay.

- **Footer hints**
- Cyan highlight restored for “enter to submit answer” / “enter to
submit all”.

Restore image attachments/text elements when recalling input history (Up/Down) (#9628 )

**Summary**
- Up/Down input history now restores image attachments and text elements
for local entries.
- Composer history stores rich local entries (text + text elements +
local image paths) while persistent history remains text-only.
- Added tests to verify history recall rehydrates image placeholders and
attachments in both `tui` and `tui2`.

**Changes**
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer_history.rs`: store `HistoryEntry`
(text + elements + image paths) for local history; adapt navigation +
tests.
- `tui2/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer_history.rs`: same as above.
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`: record rich history entries
and restore them on Up/Down; update Ctrl+C history and tests.
- `tui2/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`: same as above.

tui: stabilize shortcut overlay snapshots on WSL (#9359 )

Fixes #9361

## Context
Split out from #9059 per review:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9059#issuecomment-3757859033

## Summary
The shortcut overlay renders different paste-image bindings on WSL
(Ctrl+Alt+V) vs non-WSL (Ctrl+V), which makes snapshot tests
non-deterministic when run under WSL.

## Changes
- Gate WSL detection behind `cfg(not(test))` so snapshot tests are
deterministic across environments.
- Add a focused unit test that still asserts the WSL-specific
paste-image binding.

## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `just fix -p codex-tui2`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui2`

/>

## Key changes

- Footer tips wrap at tip boundaries (no truncation mid‑tip); footer
height scales to wrapped tips.
- Keep tooltip text as Esc: interrupt in all states.
- Make the full Tab: add notes tip cyan/bold when applicable; hide notes
UI by default.
- Notes toggling/backspace:
- Tab opens notes when an option is selected; Tab again clears notes and
hides the notes UI.
    - Backspace in options clears the current selection.
    - Backspace in empty notes closes notes and returns to options.
- Selection/answering behavior:
- Option questions highlight a default option but are not answered until
Enter.
- Enter no longer auto‑selects when there’s no selection (prevents
accidental answers).
    - Notes submission can commit the selected option when present.
- Freeform questions require Enter with non‑empty text to mark answered;
drafts are not submitted unless committed.
- Unanswered cues:
    - Skipped option questions count as unanswered.
    - Unanswered question titles are highlighted for visibility.
- Typing/navigation in options:
    - Typing no longer opens notes; notes are Tab‑only.
- j/k move option selection; h/l switch questions (Ctrl+n/Ctrl+p still
work).

## Tests

- Added unit coverage for:
    - tip‑level wrapping
    - focus reset when switching questions with existing drafts
    - backspace clearing selection
    - backspace closing empty notes
    - typing in options does not open notes
    - freeform draft submission gating
    - h/l question navigation in options
- Updated snapshots, including narrow footer wrap.

## Why

These changes make the ask‑user‑question overlay:

- safer (no silent auto‑selection or accidental freeform submission),
- clearer (tips wrap cleanly and unanswered states stand out),
- more ergonomic (Tab explicitly controls notes; backspace acts like
undo/close).

Clarify external editor env var message (#10030 )

### Motivation
- Improve UX by making it explicit that `VISUAL`/`EDITOR` must be set
before launching Codex, not during a running session.

### Description
- Update the external editor error text in `codex-rs/tui/src/app.rs` to:
`"Cannot open external editor: set $VISUAL or $EDITOR before starting
Codex."` and run `just fmt` to apply formatting.

### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` successfully; attempted `cargo test -p codex-tui` but
it failed due to network errors when fetching git dependencies (tests
did not complete).

Show OAuth error descriptions in callback responses (#9654 )

### Motivation
- The local OAuth callback server returned a generic "Invalid OAuth
callback" on failures even when the query contained an
`error_description`, making it hard to debug OAuth failures.

### Description
- Update `codex-rs/rmcp-client/src/perform_oauth_login.rs` to surface
`error_description` values from the callback query in the HTTP response.
- Introduce a `CallbackOutcome` enum and change `parse_oauth_callback`
to return it, parsing `code`, `state`, and `error_description` from the
query string.
- Change `spawn_callback_server` to match on `CallbackOutcome` and
return `OAuth error: <description>` with a 400 status when
`error_description` is present, while preserving the existing success
and invalid flows.
- Use inline formatting for the error response string.

### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` in the `codex-rs` workspace to format changes
successfully.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client` and all tests passed.

Fix: Render MCP image outputs regardless of ordering (#9815 )

## What?
- Render an MCP image output cell whenever a decodable image block
exists in `CallToolResult.content` (including text-before-image or
malformed image before valid image).

## Why?
- Tool results that include caption text before the image currently drop
the image output cell.
- A malformed image block can also suppress later valid image output.

## How?
- Iterate `content` and return the first successfully decoded image
instead of only checking the first block.
- Add unit tests that cover text-before-image ordering and
invalid-image-before-valid.

## Before
```rust
let image = match result {
    Ok(mcp_types::CallToolResult { content, .. }) => {
        if let Some(mcp_types::ContentBlock::ImageContent(image)) = content.first() {
            // decode image (fails -> None)
        } else {
            None
        }
    }
    _ => None,
}?;
```
## After
```rust
let image = result
    .as_ref()
    .ok()?
    .content
    .iter()
    .find_map(decode_mcp_image)?;
```

## Risk / Impact
- Low: only affects image cell creation for MCP tool results; no change
for non-image outputs.

## Tests
- [x] `just fmt`
- [x] `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- [x] Rerun after branch update (2026-01-27): `just fmt`, `cargo test -p
codex-tui`

Manual testing

# Manual testing: MCP image tool result rendering (Codex TUI)

# Build the rmcp stdio test server binary:
cd codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-rmcp-client --bin test_stdio_server

# Register the server as an MCP server (absolute path to the built binary):
codex mcp add mcpimg -- /Users/joshka/code/codex-pr-review/codex-rs/target/debug/test_stdio_server

# Then in Codex TUI, ask it to call:
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_only"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_then_image","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_base64_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_image_bytes_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"multiple_valid_images"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_then_text","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_only","caption":"Here is the image:"})

# Expected:
# - You should see an extra history cell: "tool result (image output)" when the
#   tool result contains at least one decodable image block (even if earlier
#   blocks are text or invalid images).

feat: make it possible to specify --config flags in the SDK (#10003 )

Updates the `CodexOptions` passed to the `Codex()` constructor in the
SDK to support a `config` property that is a map of configuration data
that will be transformed into `--config` flags passed to the invocation
of `codex`.

Therefore, something like this:

```typescript
const codex = new Codex({
  config: {
    show_raw_agent_reasoning: true,
    sandbox_workspace_write: { network_access: true },
  },
});
```

would result in the following args being added to the invocation of
`codex`:

```shell
--config show_raw_agent_reasoning=true --config sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true
```

fix(app-server, core): defer initial context write to rollout file until first turn (#9950 )

### Overview
Currently calling `thread/resume` will always bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp. This PR makes it the `updated_at` timestamp
changes only if a turn is triggered.

### Additonal context
What we typically do on resuming a thread is **always** writing “initial
context” to the rollout file immediately. This initial context includes:
- Developer instructions derived from sandbox/approval policy + cwd
- Optional developer instructions (if provided)
- Optional collaboration-mode instructions
- Optional user instructions (if provided)
- Environment context (cwd, shell, etc.)

This PR defers writing the “initial context” to the rollout file until
the first `turn/start`, so we don't inadvertently bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp until a turn is actually triggered.

This works even though both `thread/resume` and `turn/start` accept
overrides (such as `model`, `cwd`, etc.) because the initial context is
seeded from the effective `TurnContext` in memory, computed at
`turn/start` time, after both sets of overrides have been applied.

**NOTE**: This is a very short-lived solution until we introduce sqlite.
Then we can remove this.

- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener

### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`

### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)

### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline

## Notes / Edge Cases
- In steer mode while typing, the queue hint no longer replaces the mode
label; it renders as `tab to queue message · {Mode}`.
- Collapse priorities differ by state:
- With the queue hint active, `% context left` is hidden before
shortening or dropping the queue hint.
- In the empty + non-running state, `? for shortcuts` is dropped first,
and `% context left` is only shown if `(shift+tab to
cycle)` can also fit.
- Transient instructional states (`?` overlay, Esc hint, Ctrl+C/D
reminders, and flash/override hints) intentionally suppress the
mode label (and context) to focus the next action.

## Implementation Notes
- Renamed the base footer modes to make the state explicit:
`ComposerEmpty` and `ComposerHasDraft`, and compute the base mode
directly from emptiness.
- Unified collapse behavior in `single_line_footer_layout` for both base
modes, with:
- Queue-hint behavior that prefers keeping the queue hint over context.
- A cycle-hint guard that prevents context from reappearing after
`(shift+tab to cycle)` is dropped.
- Kept rendering responsibilities explicit:
  - `single_line_footer_layout` decides what fits.
  - `render_footer_line` renders a chosen line.
- `render_footer_from_props` renders the canonical mode-to-text mapping.
- Expanded snapshot coverage:
- Added `footer_collapse_snapshots` in `chat_composer.rs` to lock the
distinct collapse states across widths.
- Consolidated the width-aware snapshot helper usage (e.g.,
`snapshot_composer_state_with_width`,
`snapshot_footer_with_mode_indicator`).

Fix: cap aggregated exec output consistently (#9759 )

## WHAT?
- Bias aggregated output toward stderr under contention (2/3 stderr, 1/3
stdout) while keeping the 1 MiB cap.
- Rebalance unused stderr share back to stdout when stderr is tiny to
avoid underfilling.
- Add tests for contention, small-stderr rebalance, and under-cap
ordering (stdout then stderr).

## WHY?
- Review feedback requested stderr priority under contention.
- Avoid underfilled aggregated output when stderr is small while
preserving a consistent cap across exec paths.

## HOW?
- Update `aggregate_output` to compute stdout/stderr shares, then
reassign unused capacity to the other stream.
- Use the helper in both Windows and async exec paths.
- Add regression tests for contention/rebalance and under-cap ordering.

## BEFORE
```rust
// Best-effort aggregate: stdout then stderr (capped).
let mut aggregated = Vec::with_capacity(
    stdout
        .text
        .len()
        .saturating_add(stderr.text.len())
        .min(EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES),
);
append_capped(&mut aggregated, &stdout.text, EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES);
append_capped(&mut aggregated, &stderr.text, EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES);
let aggregated_output = StreamOutput {
    text: aggregated,
    truncated_after_lines: None,
};
```

## AFTER
```rust
fn aggregate_output(
    stdout: &StreamOutput<Vec<u8>>,
    stderr: &StreamOutput<Vec<u8>>,
) -> StreamOutput<Vec<u8>> {
    let total_len = stdout.text.len().saturating_add(stderr.text.len());
    let max_bytes = EXEC_OUTPUT_MAX_BYTES;
    let mut aggregated = Vec::with_capacity(total_len.min(max_bytes));

    if total_len <= max_bytes {
        aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stdout.text);
        aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stderr.text);
        return StreamOutput {
            text: aggregated,
            truncated_after_lines: None,
        };
    }

    // Under contention, reserve 1/3 for stdout and 2/3 for stderr; rebalance unused stderr to stdout.
    let want_stdout = stdout.text.len().min(max_bytes / 3);
    let want_stderr = stderr.text.len();
    let stderr_take = want_stderr.min(max_bytes.saturating_sub(want_stdout));
    let remaining = max_bytes.saturating_sub(want_stdout + stderr_take);
    let stdout_take = want_stdout + remaining.min(stdout.text.len().saturating_sub(want_stdout));

    aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stdout.text[..stdout_take]);
    aggregated.extend_from_slice(&stderr.text[..stderr_take]);

    StreamOutput {
        text: aggregated,
        truncated_after_lines: None,
    }
}
```
