`codex exec` should not print OpenTelemetry exporter self-diagnostics to
stderr by default. Suppress the SDK and OTLP exporter targets unless
callers
explicitly opt in with `RUST_LOG`.
Also stop defaulting the trace exporter to the log exporter, since OTLP
HTTP
endpoints are signal-specific and a logs endpoint is not valid for
spans.

## Why
`session_id` and `thread_id` are separate identities after #20437, but
app-server only surfaced `sessionId` on the `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, and `thread/fork` response envelopes. Other
thread-bearing surfaces such as `thread/list`, `thread/read`,
`thread/started`, `thread/rollback`, `thread/metadata/update`, and
`thread/unarchive` either lacked the grouping key or forced clients to
special-case those three responses.
Making `sessionId` part of the reusable `Thread` payload gives every v2
API surface one place to expose session-tree identity.
## Mental model
1. thread.sessionId lives on `Thread`
2. It is a view/runtime identity for the current live session tree, not
durable stored lineage metadata
3. When app-server has a live loaded thread, it copies the real value
from core’s session_configured.session_id
4. When it only has stored/unloaded data, it falls back to
thread.sessionId = thread.id
## What changed
- Added `sessionId` to the v2
[`Thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/thread_data.rs#L105-L109).
- Removed the duplicate top-level `sessionId` fields from
`thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork`; clients should now
read `response.thread.sessionId`.
- Populated `thread.sessionId` when building live thread responses,
replaying loaded threads, and returning stored-thread summaries so the
field is present across start, resume, fork, list, read, rollback,
metadata-update, unarchive, and `thread/started` paths. See
[`load_thread_from_resume_source_or_send_internal`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L2824-L2918)
and
[`thread_from_stored_thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L3671-L3719).
- Preserved the stored-thread fallback: if a thread has not been loaded
into a live session tree yet, `thread.sessionId` falls back to
`thread.id`; once the thread is live again, the field reports the active
session tree root.
- Regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schemas and updated the app-server
README examples to show
[`thread.sessionId`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/README.md#L306-L310)
on the thread object.
## Summary
Related to
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C095U48JNL9/p1777537279707449
TLDR:
We update the meaning of session ids and thread ids:
* thread_id stays as now
* session_id become a shared id between every thread under a /root
thread (i.e. every sub-agent share the same session id)
This PR introduces an explicit `SessionId` and threads it through the
protocol/client boundary so `session_id` and `thread_id` can diverge
when they need to, while preserving compatibility for older serialized
`session_configured` events.

## Summary
- make `thread_source` an explicit optional thread-level field on
`thread/start`, `thread/fork`, and returned thread payloads
- persist `thread_source` in rollout/session metadata so resumed live
threads retain the original value
- replace the old best-effort `session_source` -> `thread_source`
mapping with an explicit caller-supplied analytics classification
## Why
Before this change, analytics `thread_source` was populated by a
best-effort mapping from `session_source`. `session_source` describes
the runtime/client surface, not the actual thread-level origin, so that
projection was not accurate enough to distinguish cases such as `user`,
`subagent`, `memory_consolidation`, and future thread origins reliably.
Making `thread_source` explicit keeps one thread-level analytics field
while letting callers provide the real classification directly instead
of recovering it indirectly from `session_source`.
## Impact
For new analytics events, `thread_source` now reflects the explicit
thread-level classification supplied by the caller rather than an
inferred value derived from `session_source`. Existing protocol fields
remain optional; callers that omit `threadSource` now produce `null`
instead of a best-effort inferred value.
## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-analytics
thread_initialized_event_serializes_expected_shape`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
resume_stopped_thread_from_rollout_preserves_thread_source`
## Why
`Turn.items` currently overloads an empty array to mean either that no
items exist or that the server intentionally did not load them for this
response. That ambiguity blocks future lazy-loading work where clients
need to distinguish unloaded, summary, and fully hydrated turn payloads.
## What changed
- add a new `TurnItemsView` enum with `notLoaded`, `summary`, and `full`
variants
- add required `itemsView` metadata to app-server `Turn` payloads
- mark reconstructed persisted history as `full` and live shell-style
turn payloads as `notLoaded`
- keep current `thread/turns/list` behavior unchanged and document that
it still returns `full` turns today
- regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol fixtures

- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fmt`
## Why
`ReadOnlyAccess` was a transitional legacy shape on `SandboxPolicy`:
`FullAccess` meant the historical read-only/workspace-write modes could
read the full filesystem, while `Restricted` tried to carry partial
readable roots. The partial-read model now belongs in
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` and `PermissionProfile`, so keeping it on
`SandboxPolicy` makes every legacy projection reintroduce lossy
read-root bookkeeping and creates unnecessary noise in the rest of the
permissions migration.
This PR makes the legacy policy model narrower and explicit:
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` and `SandboxPolicy::WorkspaceWrite` represent
the old full-read sandbox modes only. Split readable roots, deny-read
globs, and platform-default/minimal read behavior stay in the runtime
permissions model.
## What changed
- Removes `ReadOnlyAccess` from
`codex_protocol::protocol::SandboxPolicy`, including the generated
`access` and `readOnlyAccess` API fields.
- Updates legacy policy/profile conversions so restricted filesystem
reads are represented only by `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` /
`PermissionProfile` entries.
- Keeps app-server v2 compatible with legacy `fullAccess` read-access
payloads by accepting and ignoring that no-op shape, while rejecting
legacy `restricted` read-access payloads instead of silently widening
them to full-read legacy policies.
- Carries Windows sandbox platform-default read behavior with an
explicit override flag instead of depending on
`ReadOnlyAccess::Restricted`.
- Refreshes generated app-server schema/types and updates tests/docs for
the simplified legacy policy shape.

## Why
The profile conversion path still required a `cwd` even when it was only
translating a legacy `SandboxPolicy` into a `PermissionProfile`. That
made profile producers invent an ambient `cwd`, which is exactly the
anchoring we are trying to remove from permission-profile data. A legacy
workspace-write policy can be represented symbolically instead: `:cwd =
write` plus read-only `:project_roots` metadata subpaths.
This PR creates that cwd-free base so the rest of the stack can stop
threading cwd through profile construction. Callers that actually need a
concrete runtime filesystem policy for a specific cwd still have an
explicitly named cwd-bound conversion.
## What Changed
- `PermissionProfile::from_legacy_sandbox_policy` now takes only
`&SandboxPolicy`.
- `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::from_legacy_sandbox_policy` is now the
symbolic, cwd-free projection for profiles.
- The old concrete projection is retained as
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::from_legacy_sandbox_policy_for_cwd` for
runtime/boundary code that must materialize legacy cwd behavior.
- Workspace-write profiles preserve `CurrentWorkingDirectory` and
`ProjectRoots` special entries instead of materializing cwd into
absolute paths.

## Why
`approvals_reviewer` now uses `auto_review` as the canonical config/API
value after #18504, but the Rust enum variant and nearby helper/test
names still used `GuardianSubagent` / guardian approval wording. That
made follow-up code and reviews confusing even though the external value
had already moved to Auto-review.
## What changed
- Renamed `ApprovalsReviewer::GuardianSubagent` to
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Updated protocol, app-server, config, core, TUI, exec, and analytics
test callsites.
- Renamed nearby helper/test names from guardian approval wording to
Auto-review wording where they refer to the approvals reviewer mode.
- Preserved wire compatibility:
- `auto_review` remains the canonical serialized value.
- `guardian_subagent` remains accepted as a legacy alias.
This intentionally does not rename the `[features].guardian_approval`
key, `Feature::GuardianApproval`, `core/src/guardian`, analytics event
names, or app-server Guardian review event types.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol
approvals_reviewer_serializes_auto_review_and_accepts_legacy_guardian_subagent`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
approvals_reviewer_serializes_auto_review_and_accepts_legacy_guardian_subagent`
- `cargo test -p codex-config approvals_reviewer`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui update_feature_flags`
- `cargo test -p codex-core permissions_instructions`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions_selection`
## Why
After app-server can accept `PermissionProfile`, first-party clients
should stop preferring legacy sandbox fields when canonical permission
information is available. This keeps the migration moving without
removing legacy compatibility yet.
The client side still has mixed surfaces during the stack: embedded
thread start/resume/fork and exec initial turns can derive a profile
directly from local config, while TUI remote sessions and some
turn-start paths only have a legacy/server-context-safe sandbox
projection. Those paths keep sending legacy sandbox fields rather than
synthesizing or sending lossy/local-only profiles.
## What changed
- Sends `permissionProfile` from exec and embedded TUI thread
start/resume/fork requests when config has a representable profile.
- Keeps legacy sandbox fallback for external sandbox policies, TUI
remote thread lifecycle requests, and TUI turn-start requests that do
not yet carry the active profile.
- Sends the actual config-derived `permissionProfile` for exec initial
turns instead of rebuilding one from the legacy sandbox projection.
- Stores response `permissionProfile` as optional in TUI session state
so external sandbox responses and compatibility payloads preserve
`null`.
- Updates tests for request construction and response mapping.

## Why
The `PermissionProfile` migration needs app-server clients to see the
same constrained permission model that core is using at runtime. Before
this PR, thread lifecycle responses only exposed the legacy
`SandboxPolicy` shape, so clients still had to infer active permissions
from sandbox fields. That makes downstream resume, fork, and override
flows harder to make `PermissionProfile`-first.
External sandbox policies are intentionally excluded from this canonical
view. External enforcement cannot be round-tripped as a
`PermissionProfile`, and exposing a lossy root-write profile would let
clients accidentally change sandbox semantics if they echo the profile
back later.
## What changed
- Adds the app-server v2 `PermissionProfile` wire shape, including
filesystem permissions and glob scan depth metadata.
- Adds `PermissionProfileNetworkPermissions` so the profile response
does not expose active network state through the older
additional-permissions naming.
- Returns `permissionProfile` from thread start, resume, and fork
responses when the active sandbox can be represented as a
`PermissionProfile`.
- Keeps legacy `sandbox` in those responses for compatibility and
documents `permissionProfile` as canonical when present.
- Makes lifecycle `permissionProfile` nullable and returns `null` for
`ExternalSandbox` to avoid exposing a lossy profile.
- Regenerates the app-server JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures.

* #18279
* __->__ #18278
Addresses #17498
Problem: The TUI derived /status instruction source paths from the local
client environment, which could show stale <none> output or incorrect
paths when connected to a remote app server.
Solution: Add an app-server v2 instructionSources snapshot to thread
start/resume/fork responses, default it to an empty list when older
servers omit it, and render TUI /status from that server-provided
session data.
Additional context: The app-server field is intentionally named
instructionSources rather than AGENTS.md-specific terminology because
the loaded instruction sources can include global instructions, project
AGENTS.md files, AGENTS.override.md, user-defined instruction files, and
future dynamic sources.
Addresses #16781
Problem: `codex exec --ephemeral` backfilled empty `turn/completed`
items with `thread/read(includeTurns=true)`, which app-server rejects
for ephemeral threads.
This is a regression introduced in the recent conversion of "exec" to
use app server rather than call the core directly.
Solution: Skip turn-item backfill for ephemeral exec threads while
preserving the existing recovery path for non-ephemeral sessions.
Addresses #16560
Problem: `/status` stopped showing the source thread id in forked TUI
sessions after the app-server migration.
Solution: Carry fork source ids through app-server v2 thread data and
the TUI session adapter, and update TUI fixtures so `/status` matches
the old TUI behavior.
## Why
`codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs` already keeps unit tests in a sibling
`lib_tests.rs` module so the implementation stays top-heavy and easier
to read. This applies that same layout to the rest of
`codex-rs/exec/src` so each production file keeps its entry points and
helpers ahead of test code.
## What
- Move inline unit tests out of `cli.rs`, `main.rs`,
`event_processor_with_human_output.rs`, and
`event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs` into sibling `*_tests.rs` files.
- Keep test modules wired through `#[cfg(test)]` plus `#[path = "..."]
mod tests;`, matching the `lib.rs` pattern.
- Preserve the existing test coverage and assertions while making this a
source-layout-only refactor.
