## Why
External-agent import should be discoverable and deliberate without
blocking startup or claiming the public `codex [PROMPT]` CLI namespace.
The slash command keeps the flow local to the interactive TUI and reuses
the existing app-server import API.
## What changed
- add the user-facing `/import` slash command
- detect external-agent importable items only when the command is
invoked
- run imports through the embedded local app-server
- show start and completion messages, refresh configuration, and block
duplicate imports while one is pending
- reject the flow for unsupported remote and local-daemon sessions
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration` (10 passed)
- manually exercised an isolated TUI fixture with existing
external-agent setup and session data using a fresh `CODEX_HOME`
- verified picker customization, plugin and session detection, import
completion, repeated invocation, and imported-session resume context
- the broader `just test -p codex-tui` run passed 2,805 tests, with 2
unrelated guardian feature-flag failures and 4 skipped tests
## Draft follow-ups
- review whether completion messaging should remain attached to the
initiating chat if the user switches chats during an import
- review shutdown semantics for an in-progress background import

## Intent
Keep release-specific Bazel helpers out of the shared Rust crate
definitions and colocate them with Bazel platform configuration.
## Implementation
Moves `multiplatform_binaries` and its platform list from `defs.bzl`
into `bazel/platforms/release_binaries.bzl` and updates the CLI load
site. Behavior is unchanged.
## Validation
- `bazel query //codex-rs/cli:release_binaries`
Stack: 1 of 6.
## Why
Users need to understand what external-agent data Codex detected, what
is selected, and how to proceed before an import begins. The updated
picker makes focus, selection state, and the submission path explicit
while preserving the existing import backend.
## What changed
- replace the old migration prompt with a two-step external-agent import
picker
- add a customize view with explicit item focus, selection state,
counts, and a review action
- separate detected import data into a view model
- add Unix and Windows snapshots for prompt, item-focus, and
action-focus states
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration` (10 passed)
- manually exercised an isolated TUI fixture covering customization,
selection toggles, review, import, repeated invocation, and session
resume
- the broader `just test -p codex-tui` run passed 2,805 tests, with 2
unrelated guardian feature-flag failures and 4 skipped tests
## Review note
This is the largest layer in the stack because the interaction state,
rendering changes, and required snapshots move together. It remains a
draft in case reviewers prefer a further presentation/state split.

**This PR is stack item 3.** Draft while the lower stack dependencies
are reviewed.
## Why
Local integration-heavy `codex-core` CLI tests can time out or be
interrupted after spawning `codex exec`. Stopping only the direct child
is not enough: `codex exec` can leave grandchildren behind, including
`python3`/`python3.12` processes that get reparented to PID 1 and keep
running after the test is gone.
This PR fixes that failure mode directly for the affected CLI
integration tests, without changing production code or reducing local
test concurrency.
## What
- Run the `cli_stream` `codex exec` subprocesses through a small private
wrapper in `core/tests/suite/cli_stream.rs`.
- Spawn those subprocesses in their own process group before execution.
- Keep `.output()`-style stdout/stderr capture and the existing
30-second timeout behavior.
- Own each spawned process with a drop guard that kills the whole
process group on success, timeout, panic, or other early return.
The switch from `assert_cmd::Command` to `std::process::Command` is only
for these subprocess launches; `assert_cmd` does not expose a pre-spawn
hook for setting the process group.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core --test all responses_mode_stream_cli`
This is limited to core integration tests; it does not change production
`src` code paths.
Summary
- Propagate cached remote plugin IDs through Codex plugin discovery.
- Inject `remote_plugin_id` and connector IDs into
`request_plugin_install` elicitation `_meta` from the resolved plugin.
- Keep the remote plugin ID out of the model-facing tool schema,
arguments, and result.
Validation
- `just test -p codex-tools`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just test -p codex-core
list_tool_suggest_discoverable_plugins_includes_cached_remote_global_plugins`
- `just fix -p codex-tools`
- `just fix -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `git diff --check`
- `just test -p codex-core` was also attempted: 2,581 passed, 55 failed,
and 1 timed out across unrelated sandbox/environment-sensitive
integration tests.
## Why
The external-agent import picker is easier to review when its rendering
refactor lands separately from new state and interaction behavior. This
layer is intended to be behavior-neutral.
## What changed
- extract external-agent migration rendering into a dedicated `render`
module
- preserve existing behavior while separating presentation from
interaction logic
- establish a smaller foundation for the import picker UX in the next PR
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration` (10 passed)

**This PR is stack item 2.** Draft while the lower stack dependency is
reviewed.
## Background
Codex can use **Auto Review** for permission requests. Instead of asking
the user immediately, Codex starts a separate locked-down reviewer
session called **Guardian**, which returns a structured `allow` or
`deny` assessment.
The Guardian reviewer is itself a Codex session, so its model request
can fail for transient infrastructure reasons such as model overload,
HTTP connection failure, or response-stream disconnect. Today, any such
failure immediately ends the Auto Review attempt and blocks the action.
This PR adds bounded retries for failures that the existing protocol
explicitly identifies as transient.
Linear context:
[CA-539](https://linear.app/openai/issue/CA-539/retry-auto-review-infrastructure-failures-and-fall-back-to-manual)
## What changes
A Guardian review can now make at most **three total attempts**:
1. Run the review normally.
2. Retry after a jittered delay of roughly 180–220 ms if the first
attempt fails with an eligible error.
3. Retry after a jittered delay of roughly 360–440 ms if the second
attempt also fails with an eligible error.
All attempts share the original review deadline. Jitter spreads retries
from concurrent clients to reduce synchronized load during broader
outages. The retries do not reset the user's maximum wait time, and the
backoff waits terminate early if the review is cancelled or the deadline
expires.
Before retrying, the existing Guardian session lifecycle decides whether
the session remains usable. Healthy trunks are reused, broken trunks are
removed by the existing cleanup path, and ephemeral sessions continue to
clean themselves up.
The review still emits one logical lifecycle to clients. Recoverable
intermediate failures do not produce warnings or terminal events.
## Retry policy
### Retried up to twice
- model/server overload
- HTTP connection failure
- response-stream connection failure
- response-stream disconnect
- internal server error
- a final reviewer message that cannot be parsed as the required
Guardian assessment
### Not retried
- bad or invalid requests
- authentication failures
- usage limits
- cyber-policy failures
- errors without a structured category
- a request that already exhausted the lower-level Responses retry
budget
- a completed Guardian turn with no assessment payload
- prompt-construction failures
- Guardian review timeout
- cancellation or abort
- a valid `deny` assessment
The session-error classification uses `ErrorEvent.codex_error_info`; it
does not inspect error-message strings.
## Implementation notes
- `wait_for_guardian_review` preserves the complete `ErrorEvent`,
including structured `codex_error_info`.
- Guardian session failures preserve the original message and optional
structured `CodexErrorInfo`.
- The retry policy classifies the explicitly transient `CodexErrorInfo`
variants; unknown, absent, and deterministic categories are not retried.
- The Guardian session manager receives the caller's deadline rather
than creating a new timeout per attempt.
- Analytics record the final `attempt_count`.
- Retry orchestration does not add a separate session-cleanup protocol;
it relies on the existing trunk and ephemeral lifecycle decisions.
## Automated testing
Focused Guardian coverage verifies:
- every supported transient `CodexErrorInfo` is classified as retryable,
while absent and non-transient categories are not;
- structured transient session failure -> retry -> approval with the
healthy trunk reused;
- two invalid Guardian responses -> third attempt -> approval, with
exactly three requests;
- three invalid responses -> existing fail-closed result, with exactly
three requests and one terminal lifecycle;
- valid denial, missing payload, invalid request, timeout, cancellation,
and prompt/session construction failures are not retried;
- retry eligibility ends after the third attempt;
- retry delays use the shared exponential backoff helper and remain
within the expected jitter bounds;
- cancellation and deadline expiry interrupt the backoff wait;
- healthy trunks are reused across retryable failures;
- broken event streams remove the trunk through the existing lifecycle
cleanup;
- an ephemeral retry does not disturb a concurrent trunk review.
Validation performed:
- `just test -p codex-core guardian_review_
guardian_ephemeral_retry_preserves_parallel_trunk_and_fork_history
run_review_removes_trunk_when_event_stream_is_broken` — **42 passed**;
- `just test -p codex-analytics` — **71 passed**;
- scoped Clippy fixes for `codex-core` and `codex-analytics` passed.
A prior full `codex-core` run had unrelated environment-sensitive
failures outside Guardian coverage.
## Manual QA
The focused integration tests use the local mock Responses server to
inspect exact request counts and emitted lifecycle events. They confirm
that retries are internal, a successful later attempt supplies the final
decision, non-retryable failures issue only one request, and exhausted
retries emit only one terminal result.
## Why
External-agent import should be initiated deliberately instead of
interrupting eligible TUI startups. This cleanup removes the blocking
startup flow before the replacement import experience is introduced
later in the stack.
## What changed
- remove the startup-blocking external-agent migration prompt
- remove the now-unused external migration feature gate
- remove the obsolete TUI app-server migration wrappers
- retain the dormant picker behind a module-scoped dead-code allowance
until the next stack item wires it back in
- keep normal TUI startup focused on entering Codex immediately
## Validation
- `bazel build --config=clippy //codex-rs/tui:tui
//codex-rs/tui:tui-unit-tests-bin`
- `just test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration` (8 passed)
- `just test -p codex-tui` (2,786 passed, 12 unrelated local
environment-sensitive failures, 4 skipped)
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `just fmt`

**This PR is stack item 1.**
Further investigation of the sqlite incidents showed that the problems
are due to corruption from the older version of SQLite that we recently
upgraded, and that the data is truly corrupted in the root database --
recovery of all data is not possible. Given that the data is
reconstructable from the rollouts on disk, we should just auto-backup
the database and let codex rebuild the rollout info from the disk
rollouts.
The new behavior is that appserver auto-backs-up and rebuilds (with logs
reflecting that behavior). The CLI now pops a message letting you know
this happened and the paths of the backed-up corrupt db and the new
database. There is also context added so that the desktop app can read
the rebuild info from it and inform the user with it.
## Why
Clients can archive and unarchive threads today, but there is no
app-server API for permanently removing a thread. Deletion also needs to
cover the full session tree: deleting a main thread should remove
spawned subagent threads and the related local metadata instead of
leaving orphaned rollout files, goals, or subagent state behind.
## What
- Adds the v2 `thread/delete` request and `thread/deleted` notification,
with the response shape kept consistent with `thread/archive`.
- Implements local hard delete for active and archived rollout files.
- Deletes the requested thread's state DB row as the commit point, then
best-effort cleans associated state including spawned descendants,
goals, spawn edges, logs, dynamic tools, and agent job assignments.
- Updates app-server API docs and generated protocol schema/TypeScript
fixtures.
## Summary
Codex Apps needs app-server as the source of truth for chat-started
background terminals instead of guessing from local process trees.
This PR adds experimental v2 APIs to list and terminate background
terminals for a loaded thread using app-server process ids, so clients
can manage background terminals without local PID discovery.
## Changes
- `thread/backgroundTerminals/list` returns paginated background
terminal records with `itemId`, app-server `processId`, `command`,
`cwd`, nullable `osPid`, nullable `cpuPercent`, and nullable `rssKb`.
- `thread/backgroundTerminals/terminate` terminates one running
background terminal by app-server `processId` and returns whether a
process was terminated.
- Background terminal list and terminate operations use unified-exec
process manager state as their source of truth.
## 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
`thread/search` found content inside compressed rollouts but could drop
the result when joining it with SQLite-backed thread metadata. Search
returned the physical `.jsonl.zst` path while SQLite retained the
logical `.jsonl` path, so exact path matching failed.
## What changed
- Key rollout search matches by their canonical logical `.jsonl` path,
independent of the on-disk representation.
- Canonicalize thread-list paths before joining them with content-search
matches.
- Update compressed-rollout coverage to assert the logical-path
contract.
## Validation
- Ran `just fmt`.
- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Tests and Clippy were intentionally left to CI.
## Summary
- add partial SQLite indexes for visible thread lists ordered by
creation or update time
- match the `archived` and non-empty `preview` filters used by
`thread/list`
- add query-plan coverage for both supported sort orders
## Query performance
Benchmarked the production query shape on a snapshot of my database with
~10k threads before and after applying these indexes. The query selected
the full thread projection with `archived = 0`, `preview <> ''`, the
`openai` provider filter, and a page size of 201. Results are the mean
of 30 runs after 5 warmups:
| Query | Before | After | Speedup |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| First page, `created_at_ms DESC` | 132.3 ms | 15.1 ms | 8.78x |
| First page, `updated_at_ms DESC` | 123.6 ms | 15.5 ms | 7.99x |
| Cursor page near row 4,000, `created_at_ms DESC` | 51.8 ms | 16.8 ms |
3.07x |
| Cursor page near row 4,000, `updated_at_ms DESC` | 52.4 ms | 17.1 ms |
3.06x |
Before this change, SQLite used `idx_threads_archived`, filtered the
candidate rows, and built a temporary B-tree for the requested ordering.
With the partial indexes, SQLite reads matching visible rows directly in
timestamp order and stops at the page limit. `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` no
longer reports `USE TEMP B-TREE FOR ORDER BY`.
The result rows were identical before and after. The two partial indexes
occupy approximately 168 KiB combined on this snapshot.
## Performance under contention
I noticed this issue on a database with high-contention and tried to use
simulated contention to validate the performance in that context.
A synthetic SQLite benchmark ran five concurrent readers, matching the
state database pool size, and fetched 101 rows per query. Results are
the median of three runs on fresh copies of the same database snapshot:
| Query | Before | After |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| `created_at_ms` mean latency under saturation | 328 ms | 12 ms |
| `created_at_ms` throughput | 16 queries/s | 412 queries/s |
| `updated_at_ms` mean latency under saturation | 336 ms | 14 ms |
| `updated_at_ms` throughput | 15 queries/s | 357 queries/s |
For a burst of 100 queries queued through five connections, p95
completion time fell from 6.90 seconds to 226 ms for `created_at_ms`,
and from 6.31 seconds to 473 ms for `updated_at_ms`.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-state` (135 tests passed)
- query-plan regression covers created-at and updated-at ordering,
requires the corresponding index, and rejects `TEMP B-TREE`
- `just fmt`
## 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.
For ease of reviewing, this is a prefactor to extract trait method
implementations to inherent methods. This will prevent changing
indentation from creating a huge diff.
## What
Outlined existing `ToolExecutor::handle` bodies into inherent async
`handle_call` methods across core and extension tool handlers.
The trait methods still use `async_trait` and now delegate to
`self.handle_call(...).await`; handler behavior is unchanged.
## Why
Archiving a thread can spike app-server CPU when the state DB does not
have a usable rollout path. The archive path falls back to locating the
rollout by thread id; because rollout filenames already contain the
UUID, the cheap fallback should find the file directly before invoking
broader file search.
## What Changed
- In `codex-rs/rollout/src/list.rs`, try the exact rollout filename
lookup before `codex-file-search`.
- Keep fuzzy search as the final legacy fallback when no filename match
is found.
- Preserve the legacy fallback when the filename scan hits a traversal
error, so an inaccessible stale subtree does not block lookup elsewhere.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-rollout`
- `just test -p codex-thread-store`
- `just test -p codex-app-server thread_archive`
Windows x64 release builds spend about 36.5 of 48 minutes in final
LLVM code generation and MSVC linking. Use the existing target-aware
MSVC
setup action to select LLD for release builds; the Windows ARM64 archive
path already exercises the action and its LLD wrapper.
In https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/27242495616, macOS
becomes
the critical path after roughly four minutes of Windows improvement, so
this is expected to reduce total workflow time by about four minutes.
## Why
Discovered some rough edges in the API while making use of it more
widely within exec-server. It would be a lot more convenient for
existing users of `AbsolutePathBuf` if `PathUri` conversion methods
returned `std::io::Result`s.
## What
* `PathUri::to_native_path()` -> `PathUri::to_abs_path()`
* `PathUri::from_file_path()` -> `PathUri::from_abs_path()`
## Why
Compaction window identity is part of session history, not model-client
transport state. Persisting it with the compacted rollout item lets
resumed threads continue from the reconstructed window without keeping
mutable window state on `ModelClient`.
## What changed
- Added `window_id` to `CompactedItem` and stamp it when
`replace_compacted_history` installs compacted history.
- Moved auto-compact window id ownership into `AutoCompactWindow` /
`SessionState`; `ModelClient` now receives the request window id from
callers instead of storing it.
- Returned `window_id` from rollout reconstruction for resume.
Reconstruction uses the newest surviving compacted item's stored
`window_id` when present, and falls back to the legacy compacted-item
count when it is absent.
- Kept fork startup at the fresh default window id and updated direct
model-client tests to pass explicit test window ids.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
## Summary
We originally addressed startup prewarming holding the read side of
`RwLock<McpConnectionManager>` by snapshotting tool-list state. Review
feedback identified the broader ownership problem: the outer
synchronization should only publish or retrieve the current manager,
while MCP operations rely on the manager's internal synchronization. A
follow-up preserved operation retirement with a separate gate, but
further review questioned whether that synchronization was actually
required and whether we could support latest-wins replacement instead.
This PR now stores the current MCP manager in `ArcSwap`. Each operation
uses `load_full()` to obtain an owned `Arc<McpConnectionManager>`, then
performs MCP I/O without retaining the publication mechanism. Refresh
cancels obsolete startup work, constructs a replacement, and atomically
publishes it. New operations see the latest manager, while operations
that already loaded the previous manager retain a valid handle. Refresh
happens at a turn boundary, so there should be no active user tool calls
to drain.
Git history supports dropping the outer `RwLock`. It was introduced in
`03ffe4d595` on November 17, 2025 for non-blocking MCP startup: the
session published an empty manager, startup initialized that same object
while holding the write lock, and readers waited for initialization.
`7cd2e84026` on February 19, 2026 removed that two-phase initialization
in favor of constructing a fresh manager and swapping it in, explicitly
noting that `Option` or `OnceCell` could replace the placeholder design.
Hot reload later reused the existing lock to publish a replacement, but
I found no indication that the lock was introduced to guarantee
in-flight tool calls finish before refresh or shutdown.
Terminal shutdown remains separate from refresh: it aborts startup
prewarming and active tasks before shutting down the current manager, so
tool calls may be interrupted and no model WebSocket work continues
after shutdown. Focused regression coverage exercises pending tool-list
cancellation, deferred refresh, and startup-prewarm shutdown.
## 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.
## Summary
- tag legacy multi-agent spawn metrics with `version=v1`
- tag multi-agent v2 spawn metrics with `version=v2`
## Why
`codex.multi_agent.spawn` is emitted by both runtimes, so the existing
metric cannot distinguish v2 adoption from aggregate multi-agent
spawning. The bounded version tag makes that breakdown directly
queryable without changing the counter's success-only semantics.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- Tests and Clippy were intentionally left to CI.
## Stack
- Base: #27191
- This PR is the third vertical and should be reviewed against
`jif/external-plugins-2`, not `main`.
## Why
#27191 moves the host-owned Apps MCP registration behind an extension
contributor, but deliberately preserves the existing endpoint-selection
feature while that contribution contract lands. App-server can therefore
resolve the server through extensions, yet the hosted plugin endpoint is
still selected through temporary `apps_mcp_path_override` plumbing.
That is not the long-term plugin model. A plugin can bundle skills,
connectors, MCP servers, and hooks, and those components do not all need
the same source or execution environment. In particular, an
authenticated HTTP MCP server can expose plugin capabilities directly
from a backend without an executor or an orchestrator filesystem.
This PR completes that hosted vertical. App-server's MCP extension now
owns the aggregate hosted plugin runtime at `/ps/mcp`. Connector actions
continue to arrive as MCP tools, while backend-provided skills arrive as
MCP resources and use Codex's existing resource list/read paths. No
second backend client, skill filesystem, or generic plugin activation
framework is introduced.
The backend route remains the hosted implementation. This change
replaces Codex's temporary endpoint-selection mechanism, not the service
behind the endpoint.
## What changed
### Hosted plugin runtime
The MCP extension now contributes `codex_apps` as the hosted plugin
runtime rather than as a configurable Apps endpoint:
- `https://chatgpt.com` resolves to
`https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/mcp`;
- a bare custom ChatGPT base resolves to `/api/codex/ps/mcp`;
- the existing product-SKU header and ChatGPT authentication behavior
are preserved;
- executor availability is never consulted for this streamable HTTP
transport.
The same MCP connection carries both component shapes supported by the
hosted endpoint:
- connector actions are discovered and invoked as MCP tools;
- hosted skills are enumerated and read as MCP resources through the
existing `list_mcp_resources` and `read_mcp_resource` paths.
This keeps component access in the subsystem that already owns the
protocol instead of downloading backend skills into an orchestrator
filesystem or inventing a parallel hosted-skill client.
### Explicit runtime ordering
`McpManager` now resolves the reserved `codex_apps` entry in three
ordered phases:
1. install the legacy Apps fallback for compatibility;
2. apply ordered extension `Set` or `Remove` overlays;
3. apply the final ChatGPT-auth gate without synthesizing the server
again.
This ordering is important:
- an ordinary configured or plugin MCP server cannot claim the
auth-bearing `codex_apps` name;
- an extension-contributed hosted runtime wins over the fallback;
- an extension `Remove` remains authoritative;
- a host without the MCP extension retains the legacy Apps endpoint and
current local-only behavior.
The temporary `legacy_apps_mcp_loader_enabled` coordination flag is no
longer needed.
### Remove the path override
The `apps_mcp_path_override` feature and its runtime plumbing are
removed, including:
- the feature registry entry and structured feature config;
- `Config` and `McpConfig` fields;
- config schema output;
- config-lock materialization;
- URL override handling in `codex-mcp`.
Existing boolean and structured forms still deserialize as ignored
compatibility input. They are omitted from new serialized config, and
config-lock comparison normalizes the removed input so older locks
remain replayable.
### App-server coverage
App-server MCP fixtures now serve the hosted route at
`/api/codex/ps/mcp`. Existing resource-read and tool/elicitation flows
therefore exercise the extension-owned endpoint rather than succeeding
through the legacy fallback.
The stack also adds the missing `codex_chatgpt::connectors` re-export
for the manager-backed connector helper introduced in #27191.
## Compatibility
- App-server installs the extension and uses `/ps/mcp` for the hosted
runtime.
- CLI and other hosts that do not install the extension retain the
legacy Apps endpoint.
- Apps disabled or non-ChatGPT authentication removes `codex_apps` from
the effective runtime view.
- Existing local plugins, local skills, executor-selected skills,
configured MCP servers, and MCP OAuth behavior are otherwise unchanged.
- Backend plugin enablement remains account/workspace state owned by the
hosted endpoint; this PR does not add thread-local backend plugin
selection.
## Architectural fit
The stack now proves two independent runtime shapes:
1. #27184 resolves filesystem-backed skills through the executor that
owns a selected root.
2. #27191 and this PR resolve a backend-hosted HTTP MCP through an
extension with no executor.
Together they preserve the intended separation:
- selection identifies a plugin/root when explicit selection is needed;
- each component's owning extension resolves its concrete access
mechanism;
- execution stays with the runtime required by that component;
- existing skills, MCP, connector, and hook subsystems remain the
downstream consumers.
## Planned follow-ups
1. **Executor stdio MCP:** selecting an executor plugin registers a
manifest-declared stdio MCP server and executes it in the environment
that owns the plugin.
2. **Optional backend selection:** only if CCA needs thread-local
selection distinct from backend account/workspace enablement, add a
concrete backend-owned capability location and surface those selected
skills through the skills catalog.
3. **Connector metadata and hooks:** activate those plugin components
through their existing owning subsystems, with executor hooks remaining
environment-bound.
4. **Propagation and persistence:** define explicit resume, fork,
subagent, refresh, and environment-removal semantics once selected roots
have multiple real consumers.
5. **Local convergence:** migrate legacy local skill, MCP, connector,
and hook paths behind their owning extensions one vertical at a time,
then remove duplicate core managers and compatibility plumbing after
parity.
## Verification
Coverage in this change exercises:
- extension-owned `/backend-api/ps/mcp` registration without an
executor;
- preservation of the legacy endpoint in hosts without the extension;
- extension `Set` and `Remove` precedence over the legacy fallback;
- ChatGPT-auth gating for the reserved server;
- hosted MCP resource reads with and without an active thread;
- connector tool invocation and MCP elicitation through the hosted
route;
- ignored boolean and structured forms of the removed path override;
- config-lock replay compatibility for the removed feature.
`cargo check -p codex-features -p codex-mcp-extension -p
codex-app-server` passes. Tests and Clippy were not run locally under
the current development instruction; CI provides the full validation
pass.
## Why
MCP startup status notifications are thread-owned, but `ChatWidget`
trusted upstream routing. If routing state delivered a tagged child
notification to the active parent widget, the child MCP failure could
still mutate the parent's startup state and transcript. Rejecting it
only inside the MCP handler was also too late because shared
notification handling could already restore and consume the parent's
retry status.
## What changed
- Validate a tagged MCP status notification against the visible
`ChatWidget` thread before shared notification handling mutates any
parent state.
- Cover child `Starting` and `Failed` notifications delivered to a
retrying parent widget, asserting that they preserve its visible retry
error and saved status header while producing no history or MCP status
mutation.
## User impact
Subagent MCP startup failures remain scoped to the child transcript
instead of appearing as duplicate warnings in the parent transcript.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-tui mcp_startup_ignores_status_for_other_thread`
- `just test -p codex-tui
primary_thread_ignores_child_mcp_startup_notifications`
- `just fmt`
## Why
Required MCP server startup was enforced in `Session::new` after
`McpConnectionManager` had already created the clients. That split let
other manager construction paths bypass the same requirement and exposed
manager internals solely so the session could validate them. Keeping
required-server readiness in the constructor gives every caller one
consistent startup contract.
## What changed
- make `McpConnectionManager::new` return `anyhow::Result<Self>` and
fail when an enabled, required server cannot initialize
- pass the startup cancellation token into the constructor so
required-server waits remain cancellable
- propagate constructor failures through resource reads, connector
discovery, and MCP status collection
- preserve the active manager and cancellation token when a refreshed
replacement fails
- keep required-startup failure collection private and cover the
constructor error contract directly
## Validation
- updated the focused connection-manager test to assert the complete
required-server startup error
- local tests not run; relying on CI
## Why
Codex app-server latency traces do not granularly cover turn
orchestration, sampling-request preparation, and tool-loading work.
These spans help separate local coordination/setup costs from model
streaming and tool execution.
## What changed
- Add `run_turn.*` spans around sampling-request input preparation and
post-sampling state collection
- Add function-level trace spans around turn setup, hook execution,
compaction, prompt construction, and MCP tool exposure
- Add `built_tools.*` spans around plugin loading and discoverable-tool
loading
## Verification
Trigger Codex rollout and observe new spans are included
## Why
Recent merges left `main` with analytics integration build failures.
Local Cargo runs also made the trimmed-skills test depend on
developer-installed skills, while Bazel used an isolated home.
## What changed
- Clone `thread_metadata.thread_source` when constructing goal analytics
event parameters.
- Group app-server thread extension inputs into
`ThreadExtensionDependencies`.
- Isolate the trimmed-skills test home so its exact fixture count is
stable across Cargo and Bazel.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-analytics`
- `just test -p codex-analytics` (71 tests)
- `just test -p codex-app-server` (837 tests; one unrelated zsh-fork
timeout passed on retry)
## 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
Clients need to select a realtime session configuration for an
individual start without rewriting persisted configuration or restarting
the app-server process.
## What Changed
- Add optional `model` and `version` fields to `thread/realtime/start`
- Forward those optional values through the realtime start operation and
apply them only for that session
- Preserve existing configured/default behavior when the new fields are
omitted
- Update generated protocol schema and app-server documentation
## Validation
- Added/updated protocol serialization coverage for the new optional
request fields
- Added focused core coverage for a session override taking precedence
over configured realtime selection
- Added focused app-server coverage that a request override reaches the
realtime WebSocket handshake
## Why
- Local profiling shows `append_tool_search_executor` averages ~113ms
per call. Adding a span lets us track this cost as we optimize in
follow-up PRs, either by reducing the work or avoiding repeated rebuilds
when inputs have not changed.
- While we're here, we can add spans to `build_tool_router` and other
sub-calls which code analysis shows may have additional opportunities
for improvement.
## What changed
Add function-level trace spans around `build_tool_router`,
`build_tool_specs_and_registry`, `add_tool_sources`,
`append_tool_search_executor`, and
`build_model_visible_specs_and_registry`
## Verification
Trigger Codex rollout and observe new spans are included
## 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
## Summary
- order `McpConnectionManager` methods by visibility, with the primary
constructor and public API first
- restrict `list_available_server_infos` to `codex-mcp`
- make `new_uninitialized` a private test-only helper
## Why
The manager exposed methods that are only used inside `codex-mcp` or its
unit tests. Tightening those methods keeps the exported API intentional,
while the new ordering makes the supported surface easier to scan.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- local tests not run; relying on CI
## Summary
- Retry transient streamable HTTP failures during RMCP startup when the
failure happens while sending the initialize request.
- Retry transient streamable HTTP failures for tools/list, which is
read-only and safe to replay.
- Cover both retryable HTTP statuses and request-layer failures where no
HTTP status is returned.
- Surface retryable HTTP statuses from the streamable HTTP adapter as
typed client errors.
- Add integration coverage for initialize retry, tools/list retry,
no-status request failure retry, and non-retryable initialize status.
## Root cause
The observed codex_apps failures can happen before normal tool
execution: RMCP startup fails while sending initialize, or the first
read-only tools/list fails after startup. Retrying hosted_apps_bridge
tools/call would not cover initialize and would risk replaying
side-effecting tool calls. This change retries the streamable HTTP
handshake itself, recreates the transport between initialize attempts,
and retries only tools/list among post-initialize service operations.
## Validation
- cargo fmt --package codex-rmcp-client
- cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client --test streamable_http_recovery
## Why
The Python SDK must treat the runtime's initial goal turn and its
continuations as one logical operation. That requires a private
lifecycle engine before the public API can return the existing turn
handle and result types.
## What
- start goals by composing the existing clear/set goal RPCs
- enforce persisted, idle threads and a bounded startup handshake
- coalesce continuation notifications under a stable logical turn ID
- aggregate items, usage, timing, and terminal status
- support rollover-aware steering, interruption, cancellation, and
cleanup
- provide equivalent sync and async internals
This is the second PR in the stack and intentionally adds no public API.
## Test plan
- online CI, including the Python SDK suite
- behavioral coverage is added in the following two stack PRs
## Why
The realtime frontend model and the backing Codex thread should present
one coherent assistant. Raw typed messages, steers, and worker reports
belong to the orchestrator; the frontend model should receive the
orchestrator's user-facing result rather than a second copy of those
inputs.
Today normal `turn/start` input is automatically inserted into the
realtime conversation, while `turn/steer` is not. Besides creating
inconsistent context, this can make the frontend model react
independently before Codex has produced the response it should speak.
## What changed
- Remove automatic accepted-user-input mirroring into realtime
- Remove the mirror-only echo-suppression flag and dead V2 prefix helper
- Preserve explicit app-to-realtime text injection and FEM-to-Codex
delegation
- Replace the positive mirror tests and obsolete snapshots with a
negative routing regression test
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-core
conversation_user_text_turn_is_not_sent_to_realtime`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
conversation_startup_context_is_truncated_and_sent_once_per_start`
- `cargo test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
## Why
A long-running unified exec process started with `tty: false` could not
be interrupted via `write_stdin`: ordinary non-TTY stdin writes are
rejected once stdin is closed, but an exact U+0003 payload should still
map to a process interrupt. The interrupt should flow through the same
process lifecycle path as a real signal so Codex preserves
process-reported output and exit metadata instead of fabricating a
Ctrl-C exit code or tearing down the session early.
## What Changed
- Add `process/signal` to exec-server with `ProcessSignal::Interrupt`
and an empty response.
- Add a non-consuming `ProcessHandle::signal` path for spawned
processes; on Unix it sends SIGINT to the process group and leaves
terminate/hard-kill unchanged.
- Route non-TTY U+0003 `write_stdin` through `process.signal(...)`
instead of `terminate`, then let the normal post-write collection path
drain output and observe exit.
- Add exec-server coverage where a shell `trap INT` handler prints the
signal and exits with its own code.
- Add unified exec coverage where a `tty: false` process traps SIGINT,
emits output, and exits with its own code.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server
exec_process_signal_interrupts_process`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-core
write_stdin_ctrl_c_interrupts_non_tty_session`
## Why
Persisted MCP OAuth credentials were reported as authenticated whenever
a credential record existed. An expired token without a usable refresh
token could therefore appear as `OAuth` even though startup could not
authenticate with it, leaving users with a misleading status instead of
a login prompt.
## What changed
- Classify stored OAuth credentials as missing, usable, or requiring
authorization.
- Reuse the existing refresh window so near-expiry credentials without a
refresh path are also treated as logged out.
- Validate required credential fields before reporting OAuth
authentication.
- Add unit coverage for credential usability and integration coverage
for expired, unexpired, and refreshable persisted credentials.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client`
## Why
Global instruction behavior spans thread creation, resume, forks,
subagents, and compaction. Characterization coverage is needed before
changing those semantics so preserved history can be distinguished from
newly loaded configuration.
## What changed
- Extends the existing `agents_md` suite with fresh-thread, warning,
resume, fork, and subagent lifecycle coverage.
- Extends the existing `compact` suite with manual, mid-turn, and
remote-v2 compaction coverage.
- Asserts rendered instruction fragments, reported source paths, and
structured request history before and after instruction-file mutations.
## 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
Goal continuation turns are emitted by the existing runtime as separate
physical turns. The Python SDK needs private thread-scoped routing
before it can present those notifications as one logical operation,
without changing ordinary turn routing or the app-server protocol.
## What
- add private goal operation state and thread-scoped notification
routing
- add internal wrappers for the existing `thread/goal/clear` and
`thread/goal/set` RPCs
- include existing goal notifications in the SDK notification union
- preserve ordinary turn-ID routing unchanged
- add focused routing coverage
This PR does not expose a public goal API. It is the first PR in the
Python goal operations stack.
## Test plan
- online CI, including the Python SDK suite
- focused typed-notification routing coverage
## Why
The TUI still reached through `app-server-client::legacy_core` for
thread-name normalization and project-instruction filename details. In
particular, checking the TUI's local filesystem for `/init` is incorrect
for remote app-server sessions, where the server owns the working
directory and instruction discovery.
## What changed
- use the instruction source paths supplied by the app server to decide
whether `/init` should avoid overwriting project instructions
- keep the small thread-name normalization helper local to the TUI
- remove the now-unused instruction filename constants, utility module,
and other unused `legacy_core` re-exports
- make status helper tests independent of concrete instruction filenames
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-app-server-client`
- `just test -p codex-tui
slash_init_skips_when_project_instructions_are_loaded`
- `just test -p codex-tui` ran 2,799 tests; 2,797 passed and two
unrelated guardian feature-flag tests failed reproducibly in untouched
code
### Manual test
Started an app server over WebSocket with a remote workspace containing
`AGENTS.md`, then connected the TUI using `--remote`. After confirming
`thread/start` returned the file in `instructionSources`, deleted
`AGENTS.md` and ran `/init` in the existing session.
The TUI still reported that project instructions already existed and
skipped `/init`. The trace contained no `turn/start` request, confirming
the decision came from app-server session state rather than a new
client-local filesystem check.
## Why
Users have indicated that they want an agent to be able to create a new
goal for itself after completing the previous goal. Currently, that's
not possible because agents cannot overwrite an existing goal even if
it's complete. This PR removes this limitation and allows `create_goal`
to overwrite an existing goal if it is in the `complete` state.
## What changed
`create_goal` now replaces the existing goal only when its status is
`complete`. The replacement is performed atomically in the goal store,
creates a fresh active goal with reset usage, and continues to reject
creation while any unfinished goal exists. App server clients see a
single `thread/goal/updated` event when the previous goal is replaced
with the new one.
The tool description and error message now reflect these semantics.
## What didn't change
Agents are not allowed to create a new goal (overwrite their existing
goal) if an existing goal is still active, blocked, paused, or in any
other state other than "completed".
## Why
`just test` currently uses the CI-oriented nextest profile, which
serializes app-server integration tests even on developer machines that
can run several safely. Bounded local parallelism substantially shortens
this common iteration loop without changing CI behavior.
Eight-worker experiments were faster, but keeping them reliable required
relaxing several test deadlines. Four workers for integration tests is a
solid tradeoff that speeds up local testing without needing to change
test logic.
## What changed
- Add a `local` nextest profile that inherits the existing defaults.
- Allow up to four app-server integration tests to run concurrently
under that profile.
- Make `just test` select the local profile on Unix and Windows.
- Keep the default CI profile serialized and leave all test deadlines
unchanged.
The tests use separate processes, randomized temporary `CODEX_HOME`
directories, and ephemeral ports. The remaining shared constraints are
system resources; each app-server also uses a multi-thread Tokio
runtime, and fuzzy-search tests can create additional worker threads, so
the local cap remains intentionally conservative.
## Performance and validation
All measurements below are warm, execution-only app-server runs with
nextest retries disabled.
On the current rebased branch, an AMD EPYC 7763 machine with 16 logical
CPUs and 62 GiB RAM completed three consecutive runs:
| Run | Nextest time | Wall time | Result |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | 142.941s | 145.17s | 836/836 passed |
| 2 | 143.402s | 145.59s | 836/836 passed |
| 3 | 142.870s | 145.08s | 836/836 passed |
The mean wall time was 145.28s. The slow-inventory, approval replay, and
zsh-fork tests all passed with their original deadlines.
Earlier measurements on the same Linux machine, before the suite grew,
showed the scaling that motivated the change:
| App-server concurrency | Nextest time | Result |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| 1 | 369.5s | 572/572 passed |
| 2 | 194.5s | 572/572 passed |
| 4 | 111.0s mean over 3 runs | 3/3 clean |
Four workers reduced that execution time by about 70%, a roughly 3.3x
speedup over serialization.
## Why
- `ThreadSource` currently defines a closed set of core-owned values
- Product features also create threads for background or scheduled work
- Adding every product-specific value to the core enum would require
repeated `codex-rs` protocol changes
- Feature-backed values let product callers provide precise attribution
while preserving the existing core classifications
## What Changed
- Adds `ThreadSource::Feature(String)` for app-owned thread source
values
- Represents all app-server v2 thread sources as scalar strings, so a
feature source is supplied as `"automation"`
- Persists and emits the feature's plain string label, so `"automation"`
produces `thread_source="automation"` in analytics
- Keeps `user`, `subagent`, and `memory_consolidation` as explicit
core-owned values and regenerates the app-server schemas and TypeScript
bindings
## Verification
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo check --workspace`
- `just test -p codex-protocol
feature_thread_source_serializes_as_its_app_owned_label`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol
thread_sources_round_trip_as_scalar_labels`
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics
thread_initialized_event_serializes_expected_shape`
- `just fmt`
## 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`
