## Why
#27198 made the extension-owned `codex_apps` MCP connection the hosted
plugin runtime, but its `mcp/skill` resources still bypassed the skills
extension. App-server could list and read those resources through
generic MCP APIs, but a thread with no selected environment did not
expose them in the model's skills catalog or load their `SKILL.md`
through `$skill`.
Hosted skills should stay remote while using the same typed catalog,
source authority, deduplication, bounded contextual catalog, and
selected-skill prompt injection as host and executor skills. They should
not be downloaded or exposed as ambient filesystem paths.
## What changed
- Add a session-scoped `McpResourceClient` over the replaceable MCP
connection manager so resource list/read calls follow startup and
refresh replacements.
- Add a `BackendSkillProvider` that pages `codex_apps` resources,
accepts bounded and validated `mcp/skill` entries, and reads a selected
skill's `SKILL.md` through the same MCP connection.
- Register the remote provider in app-server and include it in the
skills catalog even when a thread has no selected capability roots or
executor.
- Contribute hosted skill metadata through the bounded
`AvailableSkillsInstructions` developer-context path, exclude remote
entries from per-turn catalog injection, and classify `<skills>`
messages as contextual developer content so rollback can trim and
rebuild them correctly.
## Testing
- Extend the app-server MCP resource integration test with
`environments: []` to exercise two-page discovery, filter a
non-`mcp/skill` resource, verify the escaped developer catalog entry and
user-role `<skill>` fragment containing the fetched `SKILL.md`, and
preserve generic MCP resource reads.
- Add core event-mapping coverage that classifies `<skills>` developer
messages as contextual history.
## Why
We're now [discouraging use of
`async_trait`](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20242).
Removing use of `async_trait` from `ToolExecutor` yields a `codex_core`
debug test build speedup of ~78% (from 227.5s to 50.3s) on my machine.
Stacked on #27299, this PR applies the trait change after the handler
bodies have been outlined.
## What
Changed `ToolExecutor::handle` to return an explicit boxed
`ToolExecutorFuture` instead of using `async_trait`.
Updated ToolExecutor implementors to return `Box::pin(...)`, reexported
the future alias through `codex-tools` and `codex-extension-api`, and
removed `codex-tools` direct `async-trait` dependency.
## Why
Extension contributors are registered behind `dyn Trait` objects, so
native `async fn`/RPITIT methods would make these traits
non-object-safe. Spell out the boxed, `Send` future contract directly so
`extension-api` no longer needs `async-trait` while retaining the
existing runtime model.
## What changed
- add a shared `ExtensionFuture` alias and use it for asynchronous
contributor methods
- migrate production and test implementations to return `Box::pin(async
move { ... })`
- remove `async-trait` dependencies where they are no longer used,
keeping it dev-only where unrelated test executors still require it
## Behavior
No behavior change is intended. Contributor futures remain boxed,
`Send`, dynamically dispatched, and lazily executed; cancellation and
callback ordering stay unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-extension-api` (11 passed)
- affected extension crates (64 passed)
- targeted `codex-core` contributor tests (14 passed)
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
A broad local `codex-core` run compiled successfully but encountered
unrelated sandbox and missing test-binary fixture failures; CI will run
the full checks.
## Why
- Currently, there is no analytics event for `/goal` behavior
- Existing events cannot identify goal execution or its resulting
outcome
- The original update in
[#26182](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26182) was implemented
before `/goal` moved into `codex-goal-extension`.
## What Changed
- Adds `codex_goal_event` serialization and enrichment to
`codex-analytics`
- Emits goal events from the canonical `codex-goal-extension` mutation
and accounting paths:
- `created` when a new logical goal is persisted
- `usage_accounted` when cumulative goal usage is persisted
- `status_changed` when the stored goal status changes
- `cleared` when the goal is deleted
- Preserves causal `turn_id` for turn driven events and uses null
attribution for external or idle lifecycle events
- Changes goal deletion to return the deleted row so `cleared` retains
the stable goal ID
## Event Details
Includes standard analytics metadata along with goal specific fields:
- `goal_id`: Stable ID stored in the local SQLite goal row and shared
across the goal's events
- `event_kind`: Observed operation (see the 4 lifecycle events cited in
the above bullet)
- `goal_status`: Resulting or last stored status: `active`, `paused`,
`blocked`, `usage_limited`, etc.
- `has_token_budget`: Indicates whether a token budget is configured
- `turn_id`: Causal turn ID, or null when no causal turn exists
- `cumulative_tokens_accounted`: Cumulative tokens on `usage_accounted`
events; null otherwise
- `cumulative_time_accounted_seconds`: Cumulative active time on
`usage_accounted` events; null otherwise
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-analytics -p codex-state -p codex-goal-extension`
- `just test -p codex-core -E 'test(/goal/)'`
- `just test -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo build -p codex-analytics -p codex-core -p codex-state -p
codex-app-server`
## Why
Memory startup used hardcoded OpenAI model slugs for extraction and
consolidation. That works for the default OpenAI-compatible path, but
provider-specific backends can require different model identifiers. In
particular, Amazon Bedrock should use its Bedrock model ID for these
background memory requests instead of the OpenAI `gpt-5.4-mini` /
`gpt-5.4` slugs.
## What Changed
- Added provider-owned preferred memory model methods alongside
`approval_review_preferred_model`.
- Updated memory extraction and consolidation to resolve their default
model through the active `ModelProvider`.
- Added Amazon Bedrock overrides so both memory stages use
`openai.gpt-5.4` through Bedrock’s provider-specific model ID.
- Kept explicit `memories.extract_model` and
`memories.consolidation_model` config overrides taking precedence.
- Added startup coverage for default OpenAI and Bedrock memory model
selection.
#closes #26288
## Stack
- Base: #27184
- This PR is the second vertical and should be reviewed against
`jif/external-plugins-1`, not `main`.
## Why
CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may have no
filesystem or executor, but it still needs to activate remotely hosted
plugin components. HTTP MCP servers are the simplest complete example:
they need configuration and host authentication, but they do not need an
executor process.
The Apps MCP endpoint is currently synthesized by a special-purpose
loader inside the MCP runtime. That works locally, but it leaves hosted
MCP activation outside the extension model being established in #27184.
It also makes the Apps path a poor foundation for plugins whose skills,
MCP servers, connectors, and hooks may come from different sources or
execute in different places.
This PR moves that one behavior behind an extension-owned contribution
while preserving the existing local fallback. It deliberately does not
introduce a generic plugin activation framework.
## What changed
### MCP extension contribution
`codex-extension-api` gains an ordered `McpServerContributor` contract.
A contributor returns typed `Set` or `Remove` overlays for MCP server
configuration; later contributors win for the names they own.
The contract stays at the existing MCP configuration boundary.
Extensions do not create a second connection manager or transport
abstraction.
### Hosted Apps MCP extension
A new `codex-mcp-extension` contributes the reserved `codex_apps` server
from the existing Apps feature, ChatGPT base URL, path override, and
product SKU configuration.
When `apps_mcp_path_override` is enabled for `https://chatgpt.com`, the
resulting streamable HTTP endpoint is
`https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/mcp`. The existing ChatGPT-auth gate
remains authoritative, so this server can run in an orchestrator-only
process without being exposed for API-key sessions.
### One resolved runtime view
`McpManager` now distinguishes three views:
- **configured:** config- and plugin-backed servers before extension
overlays;
- **runtime:** configured servers plus host-installed extension
contributions;
- **effective:** runtime servers after auth gating and compatibility
built-ins.
App-server installs the hosted MCP extension and uses the runtime view
for thread startup, refresh, status, threadless resource reads,
connector discovery, and MCP OAuth lookup. This keeps
`mcpServer/oauth/login` consistent with the servers exposed by the other
MCP APIs. The hosted Apps server itself continues to use existing
ChatGPT host authentication rather than MCP OAuth.
## Compatibility
Hosts that do not install the MCP extension retain the existing Apps MCP
synthesis path. This preserves current local-only, CLI, and
standalone-host behavior while app-server exercises the extension path.
Disabling Apps removes the reserved `codex_apps` entry, and losing
ChatGPT auth removes it from the effective runtime view. Executor
availability is not consulted for this HTTP transport.
## Follow-ups
The next vertical will resolve a manifest-declared stdio MCP server from
an executor-selected plugin root and execute it in the environment that
owns that root. Later verticals can add backend-owned skills, connector
metadata, hooks, durable selection semantics, and incremental local
convergence without changing the component-specific runtime boundaries
introduced here.
## Verification
Focused coverage was added for:
- contributing the hosted Apps MCP at `/backend-api/ps/mcp` without an
executor;
- requiring ChatGPT auth in the effective runtime view;
- removing a reserved configured Apps server when the Apps feature is
disabled.
`cargo check -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-extension -p
codex-extension-api -p codex-mcp` passed. Tests and Clippy were not run
locally under the current development instruction; CI provides the full
validation pass.
## Why
`codex-extension-api` defines contracts shared by extension crates and
their hosts, but it had no direct test suite. Host and feature tests
cover downstream behavior, while regressions in the API crate's own
typed state, registry ordering, and capability adapters could go
unnoticed.
## What
- Add public-surface integration tests for `ExtensionData`, including
concurrent initialization and poison recovery.
- Cover contributor registration order, approval short-circuiting, event
sink retention, no-op response injection, and closure-based agent
spawning.
- Add the test-only dependencies used by the suite.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-extension-api`
- `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-extension-api`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may not have
a filesystem, while executors can expose preinstalled plugins and
skills. A thread therefore needs to select capabilities without asking
app-server or core to interpret executor-owned paths through the
orchestrator's filesystem.
The longer-term model is broader than executor skills:
- A plugin is a bundle of skills, MCP servers, connectors/apps, and
hooks.
- A plugin root can be local, executor-owned, or hosted by a backend.
- Components inside one plugin can use different access and execution
mechanisms. A skill may be read from a filesystem or through backend
tools; an HTTP MCP server can run without an executor; a stdio MCP
server or hook needs an execution environment.
- Core should carry generic extension initialization data. The extension
that owns a component should discover it, expose it to the model, and
invoke it through the appropriate runtime.
This PR establishes that architecture through one complete vertical:
selecting a root on an executor, discovering the skills beneath it,
exposing those skills to the model, and reading an explicitly invoked
`SKILL.md` through the same executor.
## Contract
`thread/start` gains an experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` field:
```json
{
"selectedCapabilityRoots": [
{
"id": "deploy-plugin@1",
"location": {
"type": "environment",
"environmentId": "workspace",
"path": "/opt/codex/plugins/deploy"
}
}
]
}
```
The root is intentionally not classified as a "plugin" or "skill" in the
API. It can point at a standalone skill, a directory containing several
skills, or a plugin containing skills and other components. This PR only
teaches the skills extension how to consume it; later extensions can
resolve MCP, connector, and hook components from the same selection.
The platform-supplied `id` is stable selection identity. The location
says which runtime owns the root and gives that runtime an opaque path.
App-server does not inspect or canonicalize the path.
## What changed
### Generic thread extension initialization
App-server converts selected roots into `ExtensionDataInit`. Core
carries that generic initialization value until the final thread ID is
known, then creates thread-scoped `ExtensionData` before lifecycle
contributors run.
This keeps `Session` and core independent of the capability-selection
contract. The initialization value is consumed during construction; it
is not retained as another long-lived `Session` field.
### Executor-backed skills
The skills extension now owns an `ExecutorSkillProvider` that:
- resolves the selected environment through `EnvironmentManager`
- discovers, canonicalizes, and reads skills through that environment's
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- contributes the bounded selected-skill catalog as stable developer
context
- reads an explicitly invoked skill body through the authority that
listed it
- warns when an environment or root is unavailable
- never falls back to the orchestrator filesystem for an executor-owned
root
Skill catalog and instruction fragments have hard byte bounds, which
also bound them below the 10K-token per-item context limit. If a
selected executor skill has the same name as a legacy local skill, the
executor selection owns that invocation and the local body is not
injected a second time.
Existing local and bundled skill loading remains in place. Omitting
`selectedCapabilityRoots` therefore preserves current local-only
behavior.
## Current semantics
- Only environment-owned locations are represented in this first
contract.
- Roots are resolved by the destination extension, not by app-server or
core.
- An unavailable executor or invalid root produces a warning and no
capabilities from that root; it does not trigger a local-filesystem
fallback.
- Selection applies to a newly started active thread.
- MCP servers, connectors, and hooks beneath a selected plugin root are
not activated yet.
- Selection is not yet persisted or inherited across resume, fork, or
subagent creation. Existing local capabilities continue to behave as
they do today in those flows.
## Planned vertical follow-ups
1. **Hosted HTTP MCP:** add an extension-backed HTTP MCP source that
works without an executor, then replace the special-purpose MCP plugins
loader with that implementation.
2. **Executor MCP:** register and execute stdio MCP servers through the
environment that owns the selected plugin root.
3. **Backend skills:** add a hosted skill source whose catalog and
bodies are accessed through extension tools rather than a filesystem.
4. **Connectors and hooks:** activate those components through their
owning extensions, using the same selected-root boundary and
component-specific runtime.
5. **Durable selection:** define the desired-selection lifecycle,
persist it, and make resume, fork, and subagent inheritance explicit
rather than accidental.
6. **Local convergence:** incrementally route existing local plugin,
skill, and MCP loading through the same extension model while preserving
current local behavior.
Each follow-up remains reviewable as an end-to-end capability. The
platform selects roots, generic thread extension data carries the
selection, and the owning extension resolves and operates its component.
## Verification
Coverage added for:
- app-server end-to-end discovery and explicit invocation of a skill
inside an executor-selected plugin root
- exclusive invocation when a selected executor skill collides with a
local skill name
- executor filesystem authority for discovery, canonicalization, and
reads
- thread extension initialization before lifecycle contributors run
- stable executor catalog context, explicit invocation, context
rebuilding, hidden skills, and preserved host/remote catalog behavior
Targeted protocol, core-skills, skills-extension, core lifecycle, and
app-server executor-skill tests were run during development.
## Why
Codex needs stable `file:` URI identifiers that can cross process and
operating-system boundaries without eagerly interpreting them as native
paths. Existing fields also need to keep accepting absolute path strings
during migration.
## What changed
- Add `codex-utils-path-uri` with a validated, immutable `PathUri`
wrapper that currently accepts only `file:` URLs.
- Expose URI-level `basename`, `parent`, and `join` operations that
preserve authorities and percent encoding without guessing the source
operating system.
- Keep native conversion explicit through `AbsolutePathBuf` and the
current host rules.
- Serialize as canonical URI text while accepting both URI text and
legacy absolute native paths during deserialization.
- Add adversarial coverage for Windows-looking and POSIX paths, UNC
authorities, encoded metadata characters, non-UTF-8 POSIX paths, URI
hierarchy operations, and legacy serde round trips.
## Why
Image edits should use the exact images selected by the model instead of
inferring edit inputs from conversation history.
## What changed
- Replaced the image tool's `action` argument with optional
`referenced_image_paths`.
- Treats omitted or empty references as generation and populated
references as editing.
- Reads referenced absolute image paths and packages them as image data
URLs for the edit request.
- Removed the previous history-selection and image-count heuristics.
- Updated direct and code-mode tool instructions and calls.
- Added an app-server integration test covering an attached image routed
to the image edit endpoint.
## Validation
- Tested end-to-end on local `just codex` with copy pasted image,
attached image, etc.
- `just test -p codex-image-generation-extension`

## Stack
1. [#26547](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26547) - [1 of 2] Align
goal extension with core behavior
2. [#26548](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26548) - [2 of 2] Move
goal runtime to extension
## Why
This PR completes the switch of the goal behavior to the
extension-backed runtime and removes the old core goal implementation.
## What Changed
- Installs the goal extension for app-server `ThreadManager` sessions.
- Routes app-server thread goal `get`, `set`, and `clear` through
`GoalService`.
- Uses thread-idle lifecycle emission after goal resume and snapshot
ordering so the extension can decide whether to continue the goal.
- Forwards extension goal updates through a FIFO async app-server
notification path so backpressure does not drop them or reorder updates.
- Keeps review turns from enabling goal runtime behavior.
- Plans extension tools before dynamic tools so built-in goal tool names
keep their old precedence when goals are enabled.
- Removes the old core goal runtime, core goal tool handlers, and core
goal tool specs.
- Updates tests that were coupled to the core-owned goal runtime while
leaving the legacy `<goal_context>` compatibility path in core for old
threads.
- Removes the stale cargo-shear ignore now that `codex-goal-extension`
is used by the workspace.
- Keeps realtime event matching exhaustive after removing the old
goal-specific realtime text path.
## Validation
- Ran manual `/goal` runs in TUI. Validated time accounting matched
wall-clock time and goal lifecycle state transitions.
## Why
Shell detection needs to be available through the `Environment`
abstraction so callers can ask the selected local or remote environment
for shell metadata without adding a separate HTTP endpoint or parallel
info-source path. This keeps shell metadata shaped like the existing
environment-owned filesystem capability and lets remote environments
answer through exec-server JSON-RPC.
## What changed
- Added `environment/info` to the exec-server protocol/client/server and
exposed `Environment::info()`.
- Added local and remote environment info providers on `Environment`,
following the existing capability-provider pattern used for filesystem
access.
- Moved the shared shell detection logic into `codex-shell-command` and
kept core shell APIs as wrappers around that implementation.
- Returned shell metadata as `EnvironmentInfo { shell: ShellInfo }`
using the existing shell detection path.
- Added a remote environment test that calls `Environment::info()`
through an exec-server-backed environment.
## Validation

## Why
Codex persists OAuth expiry as an absolute `expires_at`, then
reconstructs RMCP’s relative `expires_in` when credentials are loaded.
For an already-expired token, Codex reconstructed `expires_in` as
missing.
[RMCP 0.15 treated a missing `expires_in` as zero when a refresh token
was
present](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/blob/9cfc905a9ef17c8bba6748dc0a9bdd2452681733/crates/rmcp/src/transport/auth.rs#L704-L723),
so this still triggered a refresh. [RMCP 1.7 treats missing expiry
information as unknown and uses the access token
as-is](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/blob/3529c3675ff64db805bd947ca6ece6090809e43d/crates/rmcp/src/transport/auth.rs#L1233-L1265),
causing the stale token to be sent during `initialize`.
## What changed
- Represent a known-expired persisted token as `expires_in = 0`,
preserving `None` for genuinely unknown expiry.
- Add Streamable HTTP coverage requiring the token to refresh before the
startup handshake.
## Validation
- The new regression test fails on RMCP 1.7 before the fix and passes
afterward.
- The same scenario passes on the commit immediately before the RMCP 1.7
update, using RMCP 0.15.
- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client` (63 passed).
## Why
Standalone image generation returns image bytes to the model, but the
model also needs the host artifact path to reference the generated file
in follow-up work.
## What changed
- Append the default saved-image path hint alongside the generated image
tool output.
- Reuse the existing core image-generation hint text.
- Pass the thread ID and Codex home directory needed to compute the
artifact path.
- Add app-server and extension coverage for the model-visible hint.

## Summary
This PR adds `memchr` for some low-hanging performance improvements
(namely, in MCP stdio, Ollama streaming, and full message-history
newline counts).
Codex produced the following release benchmarks:
| Operation | Before | After | Speedup |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| MCP 1 MiB chunked line | 2.172 s | 3.984 ms | 545x |
| Ollama 1 MiB chunked line | 1.673 s | 2.790 ms | 600x |
| Count newlines in 10 MiB history | 132.83 ms | 20.05 ms | 6.6x |
With a "real" MCP setup (`ExecutorStdioServerLauncher` started a Python
MCP server, completed `initialize`, requested `tools/list`, and
deserialized a 1 MiB tool description over newline-delimited stdio),
it's about 16x faster end-to-end:
| Branch | 50 calls | Per call |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| `main` | 862.53 ms | 17.25 ms |
| this branch | 53.89 ms | 1.08 ms |
`memchr` is already in our dependency tree and extremely widely used for
this kind of optimized scanning.
## Why
Codex package installs include helper binaries in `codex-path`, such as
the bundled `rg`. Package-layout launches should add that directory
before user commands run, but standalone launches were missing it while
npm launches only worked because `codex.js` had its own legacy `PATH`
rewrite. That made npm and standalone package behavior diverge.
Shell snapshot restoration can also reset `PATH` after runtime setup.
Any package-owned `PATH` prepend has to be recorded as an explicit
runtime override so shells, unified exec, and user-shell commands keep
access to `codex-path` after a snapshot is sourced.
## Repro
Before this change, a curl-installed package could contain `rg` under
`codex-path` but still fail to put it on `PATH`:
```shell
mkdir /tmp/test-codex-curl
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh \
| CODEX_HOME=/tmp/test-codex-curl CODEX_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 sh
/tmp/test-codex-curl/packages/standalone/current/bin/codex exec \
--skip-git-repo-check 'print `which -a rg`'
find /tmp/test-codex-curl -name rg
```
The `which -a rg` output omitted the packaged helper even though `find`
showed it under
`/tmp/test-codex-curl/packages/standalone/releases/.../codex-path/rg`.
The npm install path behaved differently only because
`codex-cli/bin/codex.js` had legacy `PATH` rewriting:
```shell
mkdir /tmp/test-codex-npm
cd /tmp/test-codex-npm
npm install @openai/codex
./node_modules/.bin/codex exec --skip-git-repo-check 'print `which -a rg`'
```
That printed the npm package's `vendor/<target>/codex-path/rg` first.
This PR moves that behavior into Rust-side package launch setup so
curl/standalone and npm/bun launches agree without JS rewriting `PATH`.
## What Changed
- `codex-rs/arg0` now uses
`InstallContext::current().package_layout.path_dir` to prepend the
package helper directory before any threads are created.
- Package helper `PATH` setup is independent from the temporary arg0
alias setup, so `codex-path` is still added even if CODEX_HOME tempdir,
lock, or symlink setup fails.
- `codex-rs/install-context` detects the canonical package layout we
ship: `bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path/` next to
`codex-package.json`.
- Shell, local unified exec, and user-shell runtimes now record package
`codex-path` prepends in `explicit_env_overrides`, matching the existing
zsh-fork behavior so shell snapshots cannot restore over the package
helper path.
- Remote unified exec requests do not receive the local app-server
package path overlay.
- `codex-cli/bin/codex.js` no longer computes or overrides `PATH`; it
only locates the native binary in the canonical package layout and
passes npm/bun management metadata.
- Added regression tests for `PATH` ordering, package layout detection,
and shell snapshot preservation of package path prepends.
## Verification

## Why
The skills extension needs a real turn-time path before host, executor,
or remote skills can be routed through it. The previous code was mostly
a placeholder catalog/provider sketch, so there was no bounded
available-skills fragment, no source-owned `SKILL.md` read, and no place
for warnings or per-turn selection state to live.
This PR makes `ext/skills` the authority-preserving flow for listing
candidate skills and injecting only explicitly selected main prompts,
without adding more of that logic to `codex-core`.
## What changed
- Expands catalog entries with `main_prompt`, display path, short
description, dependency metadata, enabled/prompt visibility flags, and
authority/package-aware read requests.
- Replaces the placeholder `providers/*` modules with
`SkillProviderSource` and `SkillProviders`, routing list/read/search
calls by source kind and surfacing provider failures as warnings.
- Adds bounded available-skills rendering and `SKILL.md` main-prompt
truncation before the fragments enter model context.
- Resolves explicit skill selections from structured `UserInput::Skill`,
skill-file mentions, `skill://...` paths, and plain `$skill` text
mentions, then reads selected prompts through their owning provider.
- Stores mutable per-thread skills config and per-turn
catalog/selection/warning state.
- Adds `install_with_providers` so tests and future host wiring can
supply concrete providers.
## Testing
- Not run locally.
- Added `codex-rs/ext/skills/tests/skills_extension.rs` coverage for
available-catalog injection, selected prompt injection through the
owning provider, and prompt-hidden skills that remain invokable.
## Why
The skills extension needs the resolved turn environments to build a
real per-turn `SkillListQuery`. The previous `TurnLifecycleContributor`
hook only had a turn id, so it could only seed a placeholder query and
never carry the executor authorities that executor-scoped skill routing
will need.
Moving catalog resolution onto `TurnInputContributor` puts the skills
extension on the same turn-preparation path that already has the
environment ids and working directories for the submitted turn, while
keeping the actual prompt injection work for follow-up changes.
## What changed
- switch `ext/skills` from `TurnLifecycleContributor` to
`TurnInputContributor`
- build `executor_authorities` from `TurnInputContext.environments` and
pass them through `SkillListQuery`
- keep storing the resolved catalog in `SkillsTurnState`, but drop the
placeholder query helper that no longer matches the real data flow
- update the extension TODOs to reflect that per-turn catalog resolution
now happens in the turn-input contributor, and that prompt/context
injection still needs to move later
## Testing
- Not run locally.
## Why
`codex-core` currently owns the generic contextual-fragment trait and
several reusable fragment implementations. That makes it harder for
other crates to share the same host-owned model-input abstraction
without depending on all of `codex-core`.
This change extracts the reusable fragment machinery into a small
`codex-context-fragments` crate so future extension and skills work can
depend on the fragment abstraction directly.
## What Changed
- Added the `codex-context-fragments` crate with:
- `ContextualUserFragment`
- `FragmentRegistration` / `FragmentRegistrationProxy`
- additional-context fragment types
- Moved `SkillInstructions` into `codex-core-skills`, since
skill-specific rendering belongs with skills rather than generic core
context machinery.
- Kept `codex-core` re-exporting the fragment types it still uses
internally, so existing call sites keep the same shape.
- Updated Cargo and Bazel workspace metadata for the new crate.
## Verification
- `cargo metadata --locked --format-version 1 --no-deps`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Disclaimer
This is only here for iteration purpose! Do not make any code rely on
this
## Why
Skills still live behind `codex-core` discovery and injection paths, but
the extension system needs an authority-aware home before that logic can
move. This adds that boundary without changing current skills behavior,
and keeps host, executor, and remote skills distinct so future
list/read/search flows do not collapse back to ambient local paths.
## What changed
- Add the `codex-skills-extension` workspace/Bazel crate under
`ext/skills`.
- Define the initial catalog, authority, provider, and turn-state types
for authority-bound skill packages and resources.
- Register placeholder thread/config/prompt/turn lifecycle contributors
plus host, executor, and remote provider aggregation points.
- Capture the remaining extraction work as TODOs, including the missing
extension API hooks needed for per-turn catalog construction and typed
skill injection.
- Keep plugins outside the runtime skills model: plugin-installed skills
are treated as materialized host-owned skill sources once available.
## Verification
- Not run locally.
## Summary
- Splits the monolithic `codex-cloud-config` implementation into focused
modules.
- Keeps behavior unchanged from the preceding config bundle runtime
switch.
## Details
This is the reviewability follow-up after the lineage-preserving
migration PRs. The split separates backend transport, loader
construction, cache handling, metrics, validation, service
orchestration, and focused tests into named files.
Verification: `just fmt`; `just test -p codex-cloud-config`.
## Summary
- Adapts the moved `codex-cloud-config` crate from the legacy cloud
requirements endpoint to the new config bundle endpoint.
- Switches runtime consumers from `CloudRequirementsLoader` to
`CloudConfigBundleLoader` so one shared bundle supplies cloud-delivered
config and requirements.
- Removes the legacy cloud requirements domain loader path.
## Details
This intentionally keeps `codex-cloud-config` monolithic for review
lineage: the previous PR establishes the crate move, and this PR shows
the behavior change against that moved implementation. A follow-up PR
splits the module back into focused files.
The new bundle path preserves the important cloud requirements loader
semantics where intended: account-scoped signed cache, 30 minute TTL, 5
minute refresh cadence, retry/backoff, auth recovery, and fail-closed
startup loading. The cached payload changes from a single requirements
TOML string to the backend-delivered bundle, and validation rejects
malformed config or requirements fragments before cache write/use.
## Summary
- Moves the existing `codex-cloud-requirements` crate to
`codex-cloud-config`.
- Updates workspace dependencies and imports to the new crate name.
- Intentionally keeps runtime behavior unchanged: this still fetches the
legacy cloud requirements endpoint.
## Details
This PR exists to make the lineage obvious before the bundle migration.
GitHub should show the old `codex-rs/cloud-requirements/src/lib.rs`
implementation as moved to `codex-rs/cloud-config/src/lib.rs`, rather
than as unrelated new code.
The follow-up PR adapts this moved crate to the new config bundle API
and switches runtime consumers over.
## Summary
Remove the dead experimental `persistExtendedHistory` app-server flag
and collapse rollout persistence to the single policy app-server already
used.
## What Changed
- Removed `persistExtendedHistory` from v2 thread start/resume/fork
params and deleted its deprecation notice path.
- Removed the persistence-mode enums and plumbing through core, rollout,
and thread-store.
- Made rollout filtering mode-free, keeping the existing limited
persisted-history behavior.
## Test Plan
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server-protocol
schema_fixtures`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server
thread_shell_command_history_responses_exclude_persisted_command_executions`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-rollout -p
codex-thread-store`
- final `rg` for removed flag/type names
## Stack
1. Parent PR: #18240 uses named MITM permissions config.
2. This PR wires managed MITM CA trust into spawned child processes.
## Why
When Codex terminates HTTPS for limited mode or MITM hooks, child HTTPS
clients need to trust Codex's managed MITM CA. Exporting proxy URLs
alone is not enough, but blindly replacing user CA settings would be
wrong: it can break custom enterprise/test roots, leak unreadable CA
files into generated bundles, or make the child env disagree with its
sandbox policy.
## Summary
1. Build immutable managed CA bundles under `$CODEX_HOME/proxy` that
include native roots, the managed MITM CA, and only inherited or
command-scoped CA bundles the child is allowed to read.
2. Export curated CA env vars alongside managed proxy env vars while
preserving user CA override semantics, including nested Codex
`SSL_CERT_FILE` precedence.
3. Thread generated CA bundle paths into child sandbox readable roots,
including debug sandbox execution, so the exported env vars work inside
sandboxed commands.
4. Remove only Codex-generated MITM CA bundle env when a child
intentionally drops managed proxying for escalation or no-proxy retry.
5. Document the managed CA bundle behavior and cover env injection,
per-child bundle generation, sandbox readable roots, and no-proxy
cleanup in tests.
## Validation
1. Ran `just test -p codex-network-proxy`.
2. Ran `just test -p codex-protocol`.
3. Ran `just fix -p codex-network-proxy -p codex-protocol`.
4. Tried focused `codex-core` validation, but the crate currently fails
to compile in `core/tests/suite/guardian_review.rs` because an existing
`Op::UserInput` initializer is missing `additional_context`.

## Why
`codex_core` is consistently a bottleneck for incremental builds during
iteration. The simplest fix is to make the crate smaller.
## Summary
`codex-core` owns several reusable prompt renderers and static prompt
assets, which makes the crate harder to split apart.
Rename `codex-review-prompts` to `codex-prompts` and move shared review,
goal, permissions, compaction, realtime, hierarchical AGENTS.md, and
`apply_patch` prompts into it. Move prompt-only tests and update
consumers and `CODEOWNERS`.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-prompts -p codex-apply-patch`
- `just test -p codex-core prompt_caching`
- Bazel builds for the affected crates
## Summary
- Preserve app declaration order when loading plugin .app.json files.

metadata is merged and filtered.

order.

## Why
Local rollout compression needs a cold `.jsonl.zst` representation
without letting compressed physical paths leak into append-mode writers.
The unsafe case is resume or metadata update code successfully reading a
compressed rollout and then appending raw JSONL bytes to the zstd file.
This PR folds the former #25088 materialization slice into the
read-support PR so the reader changes and append-safety invariant land
together.
## What Changed
- Teach rollout readers, discovery, listing, search, and ID lookup to
understand compressed `.jsonl.zst` rollouts.
- Keep `.jsonl` as the logical/stored rollout path while allowing read
paths to open either plain or compressed storage.
- Materialize compressed rollouts back to plain `.jsonl` before
append-mode writes, including resume and direct metadata append paths.
- Preserve compressed-file permissions when materializing back to plain
JSONL.
- Refresh thread-store resolved rollout paths after compatibility
metadata writes so reconciliation follows the materialized file.
- Avoid treating transient compression temp files as real rollout lookup
results.
## Remaining Stack
#25089 remains the separate worker PR. It is based directly on this PR
and stays behind the disabled `local_thread_store_compression` feature
flag.
The worker still has a broader coordination question: a resume or
metadata update can race with background compression while a plain file
is being replaced by `.jsonl.zst`. This PR handles the read and
materialize-before-append primitives; it does not make the worker
production-ready.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-rollout`
- `just test -p codex-thread-store`
- `just fix -p codex-rollout`
- `just fix -p codex-thread-store`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
Goal steering prompts have grown into long inline Rust strings, which
makes the authored prompt text hard to review and easy to damage while
changing the surrounding plumbing. Moving those prompts into embedded
Markdown templates keeps the policy text in the shape reviewers actually
read, while preserving the existing runtime substitution and objective
escaping behavior.
## What changed
- Added `ext/goal/templates/goals/continuation.md`, `budget_limit.md`,
and `objective_updated.md` for the three goal steering prompts.
- Updated `ext/goal/src/steering.rs` to parse those embedded templates
once with `codex-utils-template` and render the existing goal values
into them.
- Kept user objectives XML-escaped before rendering and converted budget
counters into template variables.
- Added the template directory to `ext/goal/BUILD.bazel` `compile_data`
so Bazel has the same embedded prompt inputs as Cargo.
## Testing
- Not run locally.
## Summary
Introduce a `CodeModeSession` interface for executing and managing
code-mode cells.
This moves cell lifecycle, callback delegation, termination, and
shutdown behind a session abstraction, while continuing to use the
existing in-process implementation, and the ability to implement an
external process one behind this interface.
A Codex session owns one `CodeModeSession`, which in turn owns its
running cells and stored code-mode state. Each cell is represented to
the caller as a `StartedCell`, exposing its cell ID and initial
response.
It also introduces a `CodeModeSessionDelegate` callback interface. A
session uses the delegate to invoke nested host tools and emit
notifications while a cell is running, allowing the runtime to
communicate with its owning Codex session without depending directly on
core turn handling.

## Why
The standalone `image_gen.imagegen` extension should behave like native
image generation for artifact persistence and UI completion, while
returning its save-location guidance as part of the tool result instead
of injecting a developer message.
## What Changed
- Added an image-generation completion hook for extension tools so core
can persist generated images and emit the existing `ImageGeneration`
lifecycle events.
- Reused core image artifact persistence for extension output and
removed extension-local save-path/file-writing logic.
- Split shared image persistence from built-in finalization so native
image generation keeps its existing developer-message instruction
behavior.
- Returned the generated image save-location instruction through the
extension `FunctionCallOutput`, alongside the generated image input for
model follow-up.
- Preserved the existing image-generation event shape for current UI and
replay compatibility.
- Avoided cloning the full generated-image base64 payload when emitting
the in-progress image item.
- Removed dependencies no longer needed after moving persistence out of
the extension crate.
## Fast Follow
- Adjust the existing Extension API and add a general `TurnItem`
finalization path for re-usability of code

## Why
Standalone `web.run` calls run in the extension, so they need normal
web-search progress activity while a request is in flight and durable
completed activity after a thread is reloaded.
Follow-up to #23823; uses the extension turn-item emission path added in
#24813.
## What changed
- Emit standalone `web.run` start/completion items through the host
turn-item emitter, preserving standard client delivery and rollout
persistence.
- Include useful completion detail for queries, image queries, and
literal-URL `open`/`find` commands.
- Render completed searches as `Searched the web` or `Searched the web
for <detail>`, with snapshot coverage for the detail-free case.
- Extend the app-server round-trip test to verify completed search
activity is reconstructed by `thread/read` after a fresh-process reload.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `just test -p codex-app-server -E
"test(standalone_web_search_round_trips_encrypted_output)"`
## Why
Add a standalone image generation path that can be exercised
independently of hosted Responses image generation, while retaining the
hosted tool as fallback unless the extension is actually available to
the model.
## What changed
- Added the `codex-image-generation-extension` crate with standalone
generate/edit execution, prior-image selection for edits, model-visible
image output, and local generated-image persistence.
- Installed the extension in app-server behind the disabled-by-default
`imagegenext` feature and backend eligibility checks.
- Updated core tool planning so eligible `image_gen.imagegen` exposure
replaces hosted `image_generation`, while unavailable configurations
retain hosted fallback.
- Added coverage for extension behavior, edit history reuse, feature
gating, auth eligibility, and hosted-tool replacement.
- The extension is installed through app-server only in this PR; other
execution paths retain hosted image generation because hosted
replacement occurs only when the standalone executor is actually
registered and model-visible.
- The initial extension contract intentionally fixes the image model to
`gpt-image-2` and uses automatic image parameters.
- Native generated-image history/card parity and rollout persistence
cleanup are intentionally deferred follow-up work.

## Summary
- Add a new `app-server-start-bench` crate to measure app-server startup
performance
- Wire the benchmark into the workspace and Bazel build so it can be run
consistently
- Update lockfiles and repo automation to account for the new package
WIll make it easier to uprev when the new draft spec is supported.
Also updates reqwest where needed for compatibility but doesn't update
it everywhere since this is already a large diff.
The new version of rmcp handles certain kinds of authentication failures
differently, this patch includes support for identifying the failing scope
in a WWW-Authenticate header.
## Overview
Allow remote `codex exec-server` registration to use existing API-key
auth while restricting where those credentials can be sent.
- Accept `CodexAuth::ApiKey` for the normal `--remote` registration
path.
- Restrict API-key remote registration to HTTPS `openai.com` and
`openai.org` hosts and subdomains, with explicit HTTP loopback support
for local development.
- Disable registry registration redirects so credentials cannot be
forwarded to an unvalidated destination.
- Retain `--use-agent-identity-auth` as the explicit Agent Identity
path.
- Document remote registration using `CODEX_API_KEY`.
## Big picture
Callers can now provide an API key directly to `exec-server`
registration without first establishing ChatGPT login state:
```sh
CODEX_API_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" \
codex exec-server \
--remote "https://<host>.openai.org/api" \
--environment-id "$ENVIRONMENT_ID"
```
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all` (`just fmt` is not installed on this host)
- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-exec-server`
## Why
Codex stores thread, log, goal, and memory state in bundled SQLite
databases through SQLx. We have a suspected SQLite WAL-reset corruption
issue under heavy concurrent writer load, especially when multiple
subagents are active. The existing `sqlx 0.8.6` dependency kept us on an
older `libsqlite3-sys` / bundled SQLite, so this PR moves the SQLx stack
far enough forward to pick up the newer bundled SQLite library.
## What changed
- Bump the workspace `sqlx` dependency to `0.9.0`.
- Use the SQLx 0.9 feature names explicitly: `runtime-tokio`,
`tls-rustls`, and `sqlite-bundled`.
- Update `Cargo.lock` so `sqlx-sqlite` resolves through `libsqlite3-sys
0.37.0`.
- Refresh `MODULE.bazel.lock` for the dependency changes.
- Adapt `codex-state` to SQLx 0.9:
- build dynamic state queries with `QueryBuilder<Sqlite>` instead of
passing dynamic `String`s to `sqlx::query`;
- remove the old `QueryBuilder` lifetime parameter from helper
signatures;
- preserve SQLx's new `Migrator` fields when constructing runtime
migrators.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-state`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `cargo check -p codex-state --tests`
## Why
Windows sandbox diagnostics are currently hard to recover from
`/feedback` even though they are often the most useful artifact when
debugging sandbox behavior. Now that sandbox logging uses daily rolling
files, feedback can safely include the current day's sandbox log without
uploading the old ever-growing legacy `sandbox.log`.
## What changed
- Add a `codex-windows-sandbox` helper that resolves the current daily
sandbox log from `codex_home`.
- When feedback is submitted with logs enabled on Windows, app-server
attaches today's sandbox log if it exists.
- Upload the attachment under the stable filename `windows-sandbox.log`,
independent of the dated on-disk filename.
- Keep existing raw `extra_log_files` behavior unchanged for rollout and
desktop log attachments.
## Verification
- `cargo fmt -p codex-app-server -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox
current_log_file_path_for_codex_home_uses_sandbox_dir`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
windows_sandbox_log_attachment_uses_current_log`
- Manual CLI/TUI `/feedback` test confirmed Sentry received
`windows-sandbox.log`.
## Summary
Fix the TUI `$` app mention paths so App Directory rows that are not
accessible are not treated as usable apps.
This includes the core preservation fix from #24104, but expands it to
the other app mention paths:
- preserve app-server `is_accessible` flags when partial
`app/list/updated` snapshots reach the TUI
- require apps to be both accessible and enabled when resolving exact
`$slug` mentions
- require restored/stale `app://...` bindings to point at accessible,
enabled apps before emitting structured app mentions
- remove the now-unused `codex-chatgpt` dependency from `codex-tui`,
which addresses the `cargo shear` failure seen on #24104
## Root Cause
The app server already sends merged app snapshots with accessibility
computed. The TUI handled app-server app list updates as partial app
loads and re-ran the old accessible-app merge path. That path treated
every notification row as accessible, so App Directory entries with
`isAccessible=false` could appear in `$` suggestions.
Regression source: #22914 routed app-list updates through the app server
while reusing the old TUI partial-load handling. Related precursor:
#14717 introduced the partial-load path, but #22914 made it user-visible
for app-server updates.

## Summary
Add the extension-backed standalone `web.run` tool so Codex can call the
standalone search endpoint through the `codex-api` search client and
return its encrypted output to Responses.
- gate the new tool behind `standalone_web_search`
- install the extension in the app-server thread registry and hide
hosted `web_search` when standalone search is enabled for OpenAI
providers so the two paths stay mutually exclusive
- build search context from persisted history using a small tail
heuristic: previous user message, assistant text between the last two
user turns capped at about 1k tokens, and current user message
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates`
## Why
`core/src/goals.rs` already emits OTEL metrics for goal creation,
resume, terminal transitions, token counts, and duration. As `/goal`
moves into `ext/goal`, the extension needs to preserve that telemetry
contract instead of only emitting app-visible `ThreadGoalUpdated`
events.
This keeps the existing `codex.goal.*` metric surface intact while goal
lifecycle ownership shifts toward the extension.
## What changed
- Added an extension-local `GoalMetrics` helper that records the
existing `codex.goal.*` counters and histograms through `codex-otel`.
- Threaded an optional `MetricsClient` through `install_with_backend`,
`GoalExtension`, `GoalRuntimeHandle`, and `GoalToolExecutor`.
- Emitted created, resumed, and terminal goal metrics from the extension
paths that create goals, restore active goals on thread resume, account
budget limits, complete or block goals, and handle external goal
mutations.
- Updated existing goal extension test setup callsites to pass `None`
for metrics when instrumentation is not under test.
## Verification
Not run locally.
## Why
The memories extension now owns the read-path developer instructions it
injects at thread start. Keeping that prompt builder and template in
`codex-memories-read` left the extension depending on a helper crate for
extension-specific prompt assembly, and kept async template/truncation
dependencies in the read crate after the remaining read surface no
longer needed them.
## What changed
- Moved `prompts.rs`, its tests, and `templates/memories/read_path.md`
from `memories/read` into `ext/memories`.
- Wired `MemoryExtension` to call the local prompt builder and added the
moved templates to `ext/memories/BUILD.bazel` compile data.
- Removed the now-unused prompt export and prompt-related dependencies
from `codex-memories-read`.
## Testing
- Not run locally.
## Why
The memory read-tool surface had two implementations: the app-server
extension path under `ext/memories`, and an unused `codex-memories-mcp`
workspace crate under `memories/mcp`. The MCP crate no longer has
reverse dependents, so keeping it around preserves duplicate backend,
schema, and tool code that is not part of the live app-server memory
path.
Dropping the orphaned crate makes the remaining memory crate split
clearer: `memories/read` owns read-path prompt/citation helpers,
`memories/write` owns the write pipeline, and `ext/memories` owns the
app-server extension integration.
## What changed
- Removed the `memories/mcp` crate and its Bazel/Cargo metadata.
- Removed `memories/mcp` from the Rust workspace and lockfile.
- Updated `memories/README.md` so it only lists the remaining reusable
memory crates.
## Verification
- `cargo metadata --format-version 1 --no-deps` succeeds.
## Why
Users have been reporting missing sessions in the app. The app server
thread listing is backed by the SQLite state DB, but the durable source
of truth for a thread still exists on disk as rollout JSONL. When the
state DB is incomplete, doctor should be able to show the mismatch
directly instead of leaving users with a generic state health result.
## What changed
This adds a `threads` doctor check that compares active and archived
rollout files under `CODEX_HOME` with rows in the SQLite `threads`
table. The check reports missing rollout rows, stale DB rows, archive
flag mismatches, duplicate rollout thread IDs, duplicate DB paths,
source/provider summaries, and bounded samples of affected rollout
paths.
It also adds a read-only state audit helper in `codex-rs/state` so
doctor can inspect thread rows without creating, migrating, or repairing
the database.
