## Summary
- route each configured MCP server through an explicit per-server
`environment_id` instead of a manager-wide remote toggle
- default omitted `environment_id` to `local`, resolve named ids through
`EnvironmentManager`, and fail only the affected MCP server when an
explicit id is unknown
- keep local stdio on the existing local launcher path for now, while
named-environment stdio uses the selected environment backend and
requires an absolute `cwd`
- allow local HTTP MCP servers to keep using the ambient HTTP client
when no local `Environment` is configured; named-environment HTTP MCPs
use that environment's HTTP client
## Validation
- devbox Bazel build: `bazel build --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/cli:codex //codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_stdio_server
//codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_streamable_http_server`
- devbox app-server config matrix with real `config.toml` /
`environments.toml` files covering omitted local, explicit local,
omitted local under remote default, explicit remote stdio, local HTTP
without local env, explicit remote HTTP, local stdio without local env,
unknown explicit env, and remote stdio without `cwd`
## Why
Cloud-managed `requirements.toml` should be able to define the managed
permission profiles a client may select and constrain that selectable
set without requiring local user config to recreate the profile catalog.
This keeps requirements focused on restrictions. The selected default
remains a config or session choice, while requirements contribute the
managed profile bodies and `allowed_permissions` allowlist that the
config-loading boundary validates before a resolved runtime
`PermissionProfile` is installed.
## What changed
- Add `requirements.toml` support for a managed permission-profile
catalog plus its allowlist:
```toml
allowed_permissions = ["review", "build"]
[permissions.review]
extends = ":read-only"
[permissions.build]
extends = ":workspace"
```
- Merge requirements-defined profile bodies into the effective
permission catalog and reject profile ids that collide with
config-defined profiles.
- Validate that every `allowed_permissions` entry resolves to a built-in
or catalog profile before selection uses it.
- Preserve allowed configured named-profile selections. When a
configured named profile is disallowed, fall back to the first allowed
requirements profile with a startup warning.
- Keep built-in selections and the stock trust-based `:read-only` /
`:workspace` fallback path intact when no permission profile is
explicitly selected.
- Centralize the managed catalog and allowlist selection path in
`EffectivePermissionSelection` so the requirements boundary is visible
in config loading.
- Surface `allowedPermissions` through `configRequirements/read`, and
update the generated app-server schema fixtures plus the app-server
README.
## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-core system_requirements_`
- `cargo test -p codex-core system_allowed_permissions_`

- Kept separate from the in-flight permission profile listing API in
#23412.

`SubagentStop` runs when a thread-spawned subagent turn is about to
finish. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStop` instead of the
normal root-agent `Stop` hook.
Configured handlers match on `agent_type`. Hook input includes the
normal stop fields plus:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id.
- `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
- `agent_transcript_path`: the child subagent transcript path.
- `transcript_path`: the parent thread transcript path.
- `last_assistant_message`: the final assistant message from the child
turn, when available.
- `stop_hook_active`: `true` when the child is already continuing
because an earlier stop-like hook blocked completion.
`SubagentStop` shares the same completion-control semantics as `Stop`,
scoped to the child turn:
- No decision allows the child turn to finish.
- `decision: "block"` with a non-empty `reason` records that reason as
hook feedback and continues the child with that prompt.
- `continue: false` stops the child turn. If `stopReason` is present,
Codex surfaces it as the stop reason.
# Lifecycle Scope
Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStop`.
Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
and Other do not run normal `Stop` hooks and do not run `SubagentStop`.
This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal
implementation paths.
# Stack
1. #22782: add `SubagentStart`.
2. This PR: add `SubagentStop`.
3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.
# What
`SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent,
before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned
subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent
`SessionStart` hook.
Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same
value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex
uses the default agent type.
Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id.
- `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
`SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That
context is added to the child conversation before the first model
request.
# Lifecycle Scope
Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`.
Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run
`SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for
internal implementation paths.
Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches
behavior with other coding agents' implementation

## Summary
- mark `ToolSearch` as removed and ignore stale config writes for its
legacy key
- make search tool exposure depend only on model capability, not a
feature toggle
- remove app-server enablement support and prune now-obsolete test
coverage/setup
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core search_tool_requires_model_capability`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server experimental_feature_enablement_set_`
## Notes
- This keeps the legacy config key as a no-op for compatibility while
removing the ability to toggle the behavior off cleanly.
- No developer-facing docs update outside the touched app-server README
was needed.
## Why
reapplies https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22386 which was
previously reverted
Also, introduce `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
app-server APIs to toggle on/off remote control at runtime for a given
running app-server instance.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental v2 RPCs:
- `remoteControl/enable`
- `remoteControl/disable`
- Adds `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and routes the new RPCs through
it instead of `ConfigRequestProcessor`.
- Adds named `RemoteControlHandle::enable`, `disable`, and `status`
methods.
- Makes `remoteControl/enable` return an error when sqlite state DB is
unavailable, while keeping enrollment/websocket failures as async status
updates.
- Adds `AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and hidden
`--remote-control` flags for `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`.
- Updates managed daemon startup to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://`.
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as removed and ignores
`[features].remote_control`.
- Updates app-server README entries for the new remote-control methods.
## Why
Enterprise-managed hook policy needs a narrow way to require Codex to
ignore user-controlled lifecycle hooks without adopting the broader
trust-precedence model from earlier hook work. This keeps the policy
anchored in `requirements.toml`, so admins can opt into managed hooks
only while normal `config.toml` files cannot enable the restriction
themselves.
## What changed
- Added `allow_managed_hooks_only` to the requirements data flow and
preserved explicit `false` values.
- Also adds it to /debug-config
- Marked MDM, system, and legacy managed config layers as managed for
hook discovery.
- Updated hook discovery so `allow_managed_hooks_only = true`:
- keeps managed requirements hooks and managed config-layer hooks,
- skips user/project/session `hooks.json` and `[hooks]` entries with
concise startup warnings,
- skips current unmanaged plugin hooks,
- ignores any `allow_managed_hooks_only` key placed in ordinary
`config.toml` layers.
## Why
`remote_control` can appear in `config.toml`, CLI feature overrides, and
the app-server config APIs. Before this PR, app-server startup treated
`config.features.enabled(Feature::RemoteControl)` as the signal to start
remote control ([base
code](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/5e3ee5eddfa5333f2e0b011880abf0cbf92bd295/codex-rs/app-server/src/lib.rs#L678-L680)).
That meant a user with:
```toml
[features]
remote_control = true
```
would accidentally opt every app-server process into remote control.
Remote-control startup should instead be a per-process launch decision
made by CLI flags.
## What Changed
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as `Stage::Removed`, keeping
`remote_control` as a known compatibility key while making it
config-inert.
- Adds a hidden `--remote-control` process flag to `codex app-server`
and standalone `codex-app-server`.
- Plumbs that flag through
`AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and makes app-server
startup use only that runtime option to decide whether to start remote
control.
- Removes the app-server config mutation hook that reloaded config and
toggled remote control at runtime.
- Updates managed daemon spawning to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://` instead of `--enable remote_control`.
Config APIs can still list, read, write, and set `remote_control`; those
operations just no longer affect remote-control process enrollment.
# Why
Managed hook configs need a shared cross-platform shape without making
the existing `command` field polymorphic. The common case is still one
command string, with Windows needing a different entrypoint only when
the runtime is actually Windows.
Keeping `command` as the portable/default path and adding an optional
Windows override keeps the config easier to read, preserves the existing
scalar shape for non-Windows users, and avoids forcing every caller into
a `{ unix, windows }` object when only one platform needs special
handling.
# What
- Add optional `command_windows` / `commandWindows` alongside the
existing hook `command` field.
- Resolve `command_windows` only on Windows during hook discovery; other
platforms continue to use `command` unchanged.
- Keep trust hashing aligned to the effective command selected for the
current runtime.
# Docs
The Codex hooks/config reference should document `command_windows` as
the Windows-only override for command hooks.
This PR replaces the TUI’s file-only `@mention` popup with a unified
mentions experience. Typing `@...` now searches across filesystem
matches, installed plugins, and skills in one popup, with result types
clearly labeled and selectable from the same flow.
- Adds a unified `@mentions` popup that returns:
- plugins
- skills
- files
- directories
- Adds search modes so users can narrow the popup without changing their
query:
- All Results _(default/same as Codex App)_
- Filesystem Only
- Plugins _(...and skills)_
- Preserves existing insertion behavior:
- selected file paths are inserted into the prompt
- paths with spaces are quoted
- image file selections still attach as images when possible
- selecting a plugin or skill inserts the corresponding `$name`
- the composer records the canonical mention binding, such as
`plugin://...` or the skill path
- Expanded `@mentions` rendering:
- type tags for Plugin, Skill, File, and Dir
- distinct plugin/filesystem colors
- stable fixed-height layout (8 rows)
- truncation behavior for narrow terminals
Note:
- The unified mentions popup does not display app connectors under
`@mention` results for Codex App parity. Connector mentions remain
available through the existing `$mention` path.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f93781ed-57d3-4cb5-9972-675bc5f3ef3f
## Why
App-server config writes were leaving existing threads partially stale.
After a config mutation, the app-server told each live thread to run
`Op::ReloadUserConfig`, but that path only re-read the user
`config.toml` layer. Settings that came from the app-server's
materialized config snapshot did not propagate to existing threads until
restart.
This change prevent a FS access from `core` for CCA.
## What changed
- add `CodexThread::refresh_runtime_config()` and
`Session::refresh_runtime_config()` so the app-server can push a freshly
rebuilt config snapshot into a live thread
- rebuild the latest config with each thread's `cwd` after config
mutations, then refresh the thread from that snapshot instead of asking
it to reload only `config.toml`
- keep session-static settings unchanged during refresh, while updating
runtime-refreshable state such as the config layer stack,
`tool_suggest`, and derived hook/plugin/skill state
- keep `reload_user_config_layer()` as the file-backed fallback for
legacy local reload flows, but route the shared refresh logic through
the new runtime refresh path
## Testing
- add a session test that verifies `refresh_runtime_config()` rebuilds
hooks from refreshed config
- add a session test that verifies runtime-refreshable fields update
while session-static settings like `model` and `notify` stay unchanged

## Why
Compaction rewrites the conversation context that future model turns
receive, but hooks currently have no deterministic lifecycle point
around that rewrite. This adds compact lifecycle hooks so users can
audit manual and automatic compaction, surface hook messages in the UI,
and run post-compaction follow-up without overloading tool or prompt
hooks.
## What Changed
- Added `PreCompact` and `PostCompact` hook events across hook config,
discovery, dispatch, generated schemas, app-server notifications,
analytics, and TUI hook rendering.
- Added trigger matching for compact hooks with the documented `manual`
and `auto` matcher values.
- Wired `PreCompact` before both local and remote compaction, and
`PostCompact` after successful local or remote compaction.
- Kept compact hook command input to lifecycle metadata: session id,
Codex turn id, transcript path, cwd, hook event name, model, and
trigger.
- Made compact stdout handling consistent with other hooks: plain stdout
is ignored as debug output, while malformed JSON-looking stdout is
reported as failed hook output.
- Added integration coverage for compact hook dispatch, trigger
matching, post-compact execution, and the audited behavior that
`decision:"block"` does not block compaction.
## Out of Scope
- Hook-specific compaction blocking is not implemented;
`decision:"block"` and exit-code-2 blocking semantics are intentionally
unsupported for `PreCompact`.
- Custom compaction instructions are not exposed to compact hooks in
this PR.
- Compact summaries, summary character counts, and summary previews are
not exposed to compact hooks in this PR.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
manual_pre_compact_block_decision_does_not_block_compaction`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server hooks_list`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui hooks_browser`
## Docs
The developer documentation for Codex hooks should be updated alongside
this feature to document `PreCompact` and `PostCompact`, the
`manual`/`auto` matcher values, and the compact hook payload fields.

## Why
App-server had repeated hand-built JSON-RPC error objects for standard
error shapes. Using the shared helpers keeps the common
`invalid_request`, `invalid_params`, and `internal_error` construction
in one place and reduces the chance of new call sites drifting from the
common error payload shape.
## What changed
- Replaced manual standard JSON-RPC error object creation with
`internal_error(...)`, `invalid_request(...)`, and `invalid_params(...)`
across app-server request processors and runtime paths.
- Removed local duplicate helper definitions from search and review
request handling.
- Preserved existing structured `data` payloads by creating the shared
helper error first and then attaching the existing metadata.
- Left custom non-standard errors and raw error-code assertions intact.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
## Why
The app-server request path had grown around a large
`CodexMessageProcessor` plus separate API wrapper/helper modules. That
made the dependency graph hard to see and forced unrelated request
families to share broad processor state.
This PR makes the split mechanical and command-prefix oriented so
request families own only the dependencies they use.
## What changed
- Replaced `CodexMessageProcessor` with command-prefix request
processors under `app-server/src/request_processors/`.
- Removed the old config, device-key, external-agent-config, and fs API
wrapper files by moving their API handling into processors.
- Split apps, plugins, marketplace, catalog, account, MCP, command exec,
fs, git, feedback, thread, turn, thread goals, and Windows sandbox
handling into dedicated processors.
- Kept shared lifecycle, summary conversion, token usage replay, and
shared error mapping only where multiple processors use them; single-use
helpers were inlined into their owning processor.
- Removed the fallback processor path and moved processor tests to
`_tests` files.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
