• feat(tui) /permissions flow (#9561)

  ## Summary
  Adds the `/permissions` command, with a (usually) shorter set of
  permissions. `/approvals` still exists, for backwards compatibility.

• feat(tui): retire the tui2 experiment (#9640)

  ## Summary
  - Retire the experimental TUI2 implementation and its feature flag.
  - Remove TUI2-only config/schema/docs so the CLI stays on the
  terminal-native path.
  - Keep docs aligned with the legacy TUI while we focus on redraw-based
  improvements.
  
  ## Customer impact
  - Retires the TUI2 experiment and keeps Codex on the proven
  terminal-native UI while we invest in redraw-based improvements to the
  existing experience.
  
  ## Migration / compatibility
  - If you previously set tui2-related options in config.toml, they are
  now ignored and Codex continues using the existing terminal-native TUI
  (no action required).
  
  ## Context
  - What worked: a transcript-owned viewport delivered excellent resize
  rewrap and high-fidelity copy (especially for code).
  - Why stop: making that experience feel fully native across the
  environment matrix (terminal emulator, OS, input modality, multiplexer,
  font/theme, alt-screen behavior) creates a combinatorial explosion of
  edge cases.
  - What next: we are focusing on redraw-based improvements to the
  existing terminal-native TUI so scrolling, selection, and copy remain
  native while resize/redraw correctness improves.

• Reduce burst testing flake (#9549)

  ## Summary
  
  - make paste-burst tests deterministic by injecting explicit timestamps
  instead of relying on wall clock timing
  - add time-aware helpers for input/submission paths so tests can drive
  the burst heuristic precisely
  - update burst-related tests to flush using computed timeouts while
  preserving behavior assertions
  - increase timeout slack in
  shell_tools_start_before_response_completed_when_stream_delayed to
  reduce flakiness

• fix(tui) turn timing incremental (#9599)

  ## Summary
  When we send multiple assistant messages, reset the timer so "Worked for
  2m 36s" is the time since the last time we showed the message, rather
  than an ever-increasing number.
  
  We could instead change the copy so it's more clearly a running counter.

• Prompt Expansion: Preserve Text Elements (#9518)

  Summary
  - Preserve `text_elements` through custom prompt argument parsing and
  expansion (named and numeric placeholders).
  - Translate text element ranges through Shlex parsing using sentinel
  substitution, and rehydrate text + element ranges per arg.
  - Drop image attachments when their placeholder does not survive prompt
  expansion, keeping attachments consistent with rendered elements.
  - Mirror changes in TUI2 and expand tests for prompt parsing/expansion
  edge cases.
  
  Tests
  - placeholders with spaces as single tokens (positional + key=value,
  quoted + unquoted),
    - prompt expansion with image placeholders,
    - large paste + image arg combinations,
    - unused image arg dropped after expansion.

• Improve UI spacing for queued messages (#9162)

  Despite good spacing between queued messages and assistant message text:
  <img width="462" height="322" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-12 at 4 54 50 PM"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e8b46252-0b33-40d2-b431-cb73b9a3bd2e"
  />
  
  Codex has confusing spacing between queued messages and shimmering
  status text (making the queued message seem like a sub-item of the
  shimmering status text)
  <img width="615" height="217" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-12 at 4 54 18 PM"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ee5e6095-8fe9-4863-88d2-10472cab8bd6"
  />
  
  This PR changes the spacing between the queued message(s) and shimmering
  status text to make it less confusing:
  <img width="440" height="240" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-13 at 11 20 36 AM"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/02dcc690-cbe9-4943-87de-c7300ef51120"
  />
  
  While working on the status/queued spacing change, we noticed two
  paste‑burst tests were timing‑sensitive and could fail
  on slower CI. We added a small test‑only helper to keep the paste‑burst
  state active and refreshed during these tests. This
  removes dependence on tight timing and makes the tests deterministic
  without affecting runtime behavior.

• Add total (non-partial) TextElement placeholder accessors (#9545)

  ## Summary
  - Make `TextElement` placeholders private and add a text-backed accessor
  to avoid assuming `Some`.
  - Since they are optional in the protocol, we want to make sure any
  accessors properly handle the None case (getting the placeholder using
  the byte range in the text)
  - Preserve placeholders during protocol/app-server conversions using the
  accessor fallback.
  - Update TUI composer/remap logic and tests to use the new
  constructor/accessor.

• Fixed config merging issue with profiles (#9509)

  This PR fixes a small issue with chained (layered) config.toml file
  merging. The old logic didn't properly handle profiles.
  
  In particular, if a lower-layer config overrides a profile defined in a
  higher-layer config, the override did not take effect. This prevents
  users from having project-specific profile overrides and contradicts the
  (soon-to-be) documented behavior of config merging.
  
  The change adds a unit test for this case. It also exposes a function
  from the config crate that is needed by the app server code paths to
  implement support for layered configs.

• Persist text elements through TUI input and history (#9393)

  Continuation of breaking up this PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
  
  ## Summary
  - Thread user text element ranges through TUI/TUI2 input, submission,
  queueing, and history so placeholders survive resume/edit flows.
  - Preserve local image attachments alongside text elements and rehydrate
  placeholders when restoring drafts.
  - Keep model-facing content shapes clean by attaching UI metadata only
  to user input/events (no API content changes).
  
  ## Key Changes
  - TUI/TUI2 composer now captures text element ranges, trims them with
  text edits, and restores them when submission is suppressed.
  - User history cells render styled spans for text elements and keep
  local image paths for future rehydration.
  - Initial chat widget bootstraps accept empty `initial_text_elements` to
  keep initialization uniform.
  - Protocol/core helpers updated to tolerate the new InputText field
  shape without changing payloads sent to the API.

  (cwd/approval/sandbox/model/etc.).
  - `Op::UserInput` is documented as legacy in `codex-protocol` (doc-only;
  no `#[deprecated]` to avoid `-D warnings` fallout).
  - Remove obsolete `#[allow(deprecated)]` and the unused `ConversationId`
  alias/re-export.

• tui: avoid Esc interrupt when skill popup active (#9451)

  Fixes #9450
  
  ## What
  - When a task is running and the skills autocomplete popup is open,
  `Esc` now dismisses the popup instead of sending `Op::Interrupt`.
  - `Esc` still interrupts a running task when no popup is active.
  
  ## Tests
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui`

• TUI: collaboration mode UX + always submit UserTurn when enabled (#9461)

  - Adds experimental collaboration modes UX in TUI: Plan / Pair
  Programming / Execute.
  - Gated behind `Feature::CollaborationModes`; existing behavior remains
  unchanged when disabled.
  - Selection UX:
  - `Shift+Tab` cycles modes while idle (no task running, no modal/popup).
  - `/collab` cycles; `/collab <plan|pair|pp|execute|exec>` sets
  explicitly.
  - Footer flash after changes + shortcut overlay shows `Shift+Tab` “to
  change mode”.
    - `/status` shows “Collaboration mode”.
  - Submission semantics:
  - When enabled: every submit uses `Op::UserTurn` and always includes
  `collaboration_mode: Some(...)` (default Pair Programming).
    - Removes the one-shot “pending collaboration mode” behavior.
  - Implementation:
  - New `tui/src/collaboration_modes.rs` (selection enum/cycle, `/collab`
  parsing, resolve to `CollaborationMode`, footer flash line).
  - Fallback: `resolve_mode_or_fallback` synthesizes a `CollaborationMode`
  when presets are missing (uses current model + reasoning effort; no
  `developer_instructions`) to avoid core falling back to `Custom`.
    - TODO: migrate TUI to use `Op::UserTurn`.

• tui: allow forward navigation in backtrack preview (#9059)

  Fixes #9058
  
  ## Summary
  When the transcript backtrack preview is armed (press `Esc`), allow
  navigating to newer user messages with the `→` arrow, in addition to
  navigating backwards with `Esc`/`←`, before confirming with `Enter`.
  
  ## Changes
  - Backtrack preview navigation: `Esc`/`←` steps to older user messages,
  `→` steps to newer ones, `Enter` edits the selected message (clamped at
  bounds, no wrap-around).
  - Transcript overlay footer hints updated to advertise `esc/←`, `→`, and
  `enter` when a message is highlighted.

• chore(instructions) Remove unread SessionMeta.instructions field (#9423)

  ### Description
  - Remove the now-unused `instructions` field from the session metadata
  to simplify SessionMeta and stop propagating transient instruction text
  through the rollout recorder API. This was only saving
  user_instructions, and was never being read.
  - Stop passing user instructions into the rollout writer at session
  creation so the rollout header only contains canonical session metadata.
  
  ### Testing
  
  - Ran `just fmt` which completed successfully.
  - Ran `just fix -p codex-protocol`, `just fix -p codex-core`, `just fix
  -p codex-app-server`, `just fix -p codex-tui`, and `just fix -p
  codex-tui2` which completed (Clippy fixes applied) as part of
  verification.
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-protocol` which passed (28 tests).
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-core` which showed failures in a small set of
  tests (not caused by the protocol type change directly):
  `default_client::tests::test_create_client_sets_default_headers`,
  several `models_manager::manager::tests::refresh_available_models_*`,
  and `shell_snapshot::tests::linux_sh_snapshot_includes_sections` (these
  tests failed in this CI run).
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-app-server` which reported several failing
  integration tests (including

• fix(tui) Defer backtrack trim until rollback confirms (#9401)

  Document the backtrack/rollback state machine and invariants between the
  transcript overlay, in-flight “live tail”, and core thread state (tui + tui2).
  
  Also adjust behavior for correctness:
  - Track a single pending rollback and block additional rollbacks until core responds.
  - Defer trimming transcript cells until ThreadRolledBack for the active session.
  - Clear the guard on ThreadRollbackFailed so the user can retry.
  - After a confirmed trim, schedule a one-shot scrollback refresh on the next draw.
  - Clear stale pending rollback state when switching sessions.

• feat(app-server, core): return threads by created_at or updated_at (#9247)

  Add support for returning threads by either `created_at` OR `updated_at`
  descending. Previously core always returned threads ordered by
  `created_at`.
  
  This PR:
  - updates core to be able to list threads by `updated_at` OR
  `created_at` descending based on what the caller wants
  - also update `thread/list` in app-server to expose this (default to
  `created_at` if not specified)
  
  All existing codepaths (app-server, TUI) still default to `created_at`,
  so no behavior change is expected with this PR.
  
  **Implementation**
  To sort by `updated_at` is a bit nontrivial (whereas `created_at` is
  easy due to the way we structure the folders and filenames on disk,
  which are all based on `created_at`).
  
  The most naive way to do this without introducing a cache file or sqlite
  DB (which we have to implement/maintain) is to scan files in reverse
  `created_at` order on disk, and look at the file's mtime (last modified
  timestamp according to the filesystem) until we reach `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
  (currently set to 10,000). Then, we can return the most recent N
  threads.
  
  Based on some quick and dirty benchmarking on my machine with ~1000
  rollout files, calling `thread/list` with limit 50, the `updated_at`
  path is slower as expected due to all the I/O:
  - updated-at: average 103.10 ms
  - created-at: average 41.10 ms
  
  Those absolute numbers aren't a big deal IMO, but we can certainly
  optimize this in a followup if needed by introducing more state stored
  on disk.
  
  **Caveat**
  There's also a limitation in that any files older than `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
  will be excluded, which means if a user continues a REALLY old thread,
  it's possible to not be included. In practice that should not be too big
  of an issue.
  
  If a user makes...
  - 1000 rollouts/day → threads older than 10 days won't show up
  - 100 rollouts/day → ~100 days
  
  If this becomes a problem for some reason, even more motivation to
  implement an updated_at cache.

• feat: /fork the current session instead of opening session picker (#9385)

  Implemented /fork to fork the current session directly (no picker),
  handling it via a new ForkCurrentSession app event in both tui and tui2.
  Updated slash command descriptions/tooltips and adjusted the fork tests
  accordingly. Removed the unused in-session fork picker event.

• chore: upgrade to Rust 1.92.0 (#8860)

  **Summary**
  - Upgrade Rust toolchain used by CI to 1.92.0.
  - Address new clippy `derivable_impls` warnings by deriving `Default`
  for enums across protocol, core, backend openapi models, and
  windows-sandbox setup.
  - Tidy up related test/config behavior (originator header handling, env
  override cleanup) and remove a now-unused assignment in TUI/TUI2 render
  layout.
  
  **Testing**
  - `just fmt`
  - `just fix -p codex-tui`
  - `just fix -p codex-tui2`
  - `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui2`

• fix(tui): only show 'Worked for' separator when actual work was performed (#8958)

  Fixes #7919.
  
  This PR addresses a TUI display bug where the "Worked for" separator
  would appear prematurely during the planning stage.
  
  **Changes:**
  - Added `had_work_activity` flag to `ChatWidget` to track if actual work
  (exec commands, MCP tool calls, patches) was performed in the current
  turn.
  - Updated `handle_streaming_delta` to only display the
  `FinalMessageSeparator` if both `needs_final_message_separator` AND
  `had_work_activity` are true.
  - Updated `handle_exec_end_now`, `handle_patch_apply_end_now`, and
  `handle_mcp_end_now` to set `had_work_activity = true`.
  
  **Verification:**
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-tui` to ensure no regressions.
  - Manual verification confirms the separator now only appears after
  actual work is completed.

• Support SKILL.toml file. (#9125)

  We’re introducing a new SKILL.toml to hold skill metadata so Codex can
  deliver a richer Skills experience.
  
  Initial focus is the interface block:
  ```
  [interface]
  display_name = "Optional user-facing name"
  short_description = "Optional user-facing description"
  icon_small = "./assets/small-400px.png"
  icon_large = "./assets/large-logo.svg"
  brand_color = "#3B82F6"
  default_prompt = "Optional surrounding prompt to use the skill with"
  ```
  
  All fields are exposed via the app server API.
  display_name and short_description are consumed by the TUI.
