• permissions: migrate approval and sandbox consumers to profiles (#19393)

  ## Why
  
  Runtime decisions should not infer permissions from the lossy legacy
  sandbox projection once `PermissionProfile` is available. In particular,
  `Disabled` and `External` need to remain distinct, and managed profiles
  with split filesystem or deny-read rules should not be collapsed before
  approval, network, safety, or analytics code makes decisions.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Changes managed network proxy setup and network approval logic to use
  `PermissionProfile` when deciding whether a managed sandbox is active.
  - Migrates patch safety, Guardian/user-shell approval paths, Landlock
  helper setup, analytics sandbox classification, and selected
  turn/session code to profile-backed permissions.
  - Validates command-level profile overrides against the constrained
  `PermissionProfile` rather than a strict `SandboxPolicy` round trip.
  - Preserves configured deny-read restrictions when command profiles are
  narrowed.
  - Adds coverage for profile-backed trust, network proxy/approval
  behavior, patch safety, analytics classification, and command-profile
  narrowing.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  requested_permissions_trust_project_uses_permission_profile_intent`

• [codex] Move config loading into codex-config (#19487)

  ## Why
  
  Config loading had become split across crates: `codex-config` owned the
  config types and merge logic, while `codex-core` still owned the loader
  that assembled the layer stack. This change consolidates that
  responsibility in `codex-config`, so the crate that defines config
  behavior also owns how configs are discovered and loaded.
  
  To make that move possible without reintroducing the old dependency
  cycle, the shell-environment policy types and helpers that
  `codex-exec-server` needs now live in `codex-protocol` instead of
  flowing through `codex-config`.
  
  This also makes the migrated loader tests more deterministic on machines
  that already have managed or system Codex config installed by letting
  tests override the system config and requirements paths instead of
  reading the host's `/etc/codex`.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - moved the config loader implementation from `codex-core` into
  `codex-config::loader` and deleted the old `core::config_loader` module
  instead of leaving a compatibility shim
  - moved shell-environment policy types and helpers into
  `codex-protocol`, then updated `codex-exec-server` and other downstream
  crates to import them from their new home
  - updated downstream callers to use loader/config APIs from
  `codex-config`
  - added test-only loader overrides for system config and requirements
  paths so loader-focused tests do not depend on host-managed config state
  - cleaned up now-unused dependency entries and platform-specific cfgs
  that were surfaced by post-push CI
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core config_loader_tests::`
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-exec-server -p
  codex-cloud-requirements -p codex-rmcp-client --lib`
  - `cargo test --lib -p codex-app-server-client -p codex-exec`
  - `cargo test --no-run --lib -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox --lib`
  - `cargo shear`
  - `just bazel-lock-check`
  
  ## Notes
  
  - I did not chase unrelated full-suite failures outside the migrated
  loader surface.
  - `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` still hits unrelated proxy-sensitive
  failures on this machine, and Windows CI still shows unrelated
  long-running/timeouting test noise outside the loader migration itself.

• Lift app-server JSON-RPC error handling to request boundary (#19484)

  ## Why
  
  App-server request handling had a lot of repeated JSON-RPC error
  construction and one-off `send_error`/`return` branches. This made small
  handlers noisy and pushed error response details into leaf code that
  otherwise only needed to validate input or call the underlying API.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added shared JSON-RPC error constructors in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/error_code.rs`.
  - Lifted straightforward request result emission into
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` so response/error
  dispatch happens at the request boundary.
  - Reused the result helpers across command exec, config, filesystem,
  device-key, external-agent config, fs-watch, and outgoing-message paths.
  - Removed leaf wrapper handlers where the method body was only
  forwarding to a response helper.
  - Returned request validation errors upward in the simple cases instead
  of sending an error locally and immediately returning.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib outgoing_message::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib in_process::tests`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::fs`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::config_rpc`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::external_agent_config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::initialize`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`
  - `git diff --check`
  
  Note: full `cargo test -p codex-app-server` was attempted and stopped in
  `message_processor::tracing_tests::turn_start_jsonrpc_span_parents_core_turn_spans`
  with a stack overflow after unrelated tests had already passed.

• permissions: derive compatibility policies from profiles (#19392)

  ## Why
  
  After #19391, `PermissionProfile` and the split filesystem/network
  policies could still be stored in parallel. That creates drift risk: a
  profile can preserve deny globs, external enforcement, or split
  filesystem entries while a cached projection silently loses those
  details. This PR makes the profile the runtime source and derives
  compatibility views from it.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Removes stored filesystem/network sandbox projections from
  `Permissions` and `SessionConfiguration`; their accessors now derive
  from the canonical `PermissionProfile`.
  - Derives legacy `SandboxPolicy` snapshots from profiles only where an
  older API still needs that field.
  - Updates MCP connection and elicitation state to track
  `PermissionProfile` instead of `SandboxPolicy` for auto-approval
  decisions.
  - Adds semantic filesystem-policy comparison so cwd changes can preserve
  richer profiles while still recognizing equivalent legacy projections
  independent of entry ordering.
  - Updates config/session tests to assert profile-derived projections
  instead of parallel stored fields.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  requested_permissions_trust_project_uses_permission_profile_intent`

• permissions: make runtime config profile-backed (#19606)

  ## Why
  
  This supersedes #19391. During stack repair, GitHub marked #19391 as
  merged into a temporary stack branch rather than into `main`, so the
  runtime-config change needed a fresh PR.
  
  `PermissionProfile` is now the canonical permissions shape after #19231
  because it can distinguish `Managed`, `Disabled`, and `External`
  enforcement while also carrying filesystem rules that legacy
  `SandboxPolicy` cannot represent cleanly. Core config and session state
  still needed to accept profile-backed permissions without forcing every
  profile through the strict legacy bridge, which rejected valid runtime
  profiles such as direct write roots.
  
  The unrelated CI/test hardening that previously rode along with this PR
  has been split into #19683 so this PR stays focused on the permissions
  model migration.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds `Permissions.permission_profile` and
  `SessionConfiguration.permission_profile` as constrained runtime state,
  while keeping `sandbox_policy` as a legacy compatibility projection.
  - Introduces profile setters that keep `PermissionProfile`, split
  filesystem/network policies, and legacy `SandboxPolicy` projections
  synchronized.
  - Uses a compatibility projection for requirement checks and legacy
  consumers instead of rejecting profiles that cannot round-trip through
  `SandboxPolicy` exactly.
  - Updates config loading, config overrides, session updates, turn
  context plumbing, prompt permission text, sandbox tags, and exec request
  construction to carry profile-backed runtime permissions.
  - Preserves configured deny-read entries and `glob_scan_max_depth` when
  command/session profiles are narrowed.
  - Adds `PermissionProfile::read_only()` and
  `PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` presets that match legacy
  defaults.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  requested_permissions_trust_project_uses_permission_profile_intent`

• test: harden app-server integration tests (#19683)

  ## Why
  
  Windows Bazel runs in the permissions stack exposed that app-server
  integration tests were launching normal plugin startup warmups in every
  subprocess. Those warmups can call
  `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/plugins/featured` when a test is not
  specifically exercising plugin startup, which adds slow background work,
  noisy stderr, and dependence on external network state. The relevant
  startup/featured-plugin behavior was introduced across #15042 and
  #15264.
  
  A few app-server tests also had long optional waits or unbounded cleanup
  paths, making failures expensive to diagnose and contributing to slow
  Windows shards. One external-agent config test from #18246 used a
  GitHub-style marketplace source, which was enough to exercise the
  pending remote-import path but also meant the background completion task
  could attempt a real clone.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds explicit `AppServerRuntimeOptions` / `PluginStartupTasks`
  plumbing and a hidden debug-only
  `--disable-plugin-startup-tasks-for-tests` app-server flag, so
  integration tests can suppress startup plugin warmups without adding a
  production env-var gate.
  - Has the app-server test harness pass that hidden flag by default,
  while opting plugin-startup coverage back in for tests that
  intentionally exercise startup sync and featured-plugin warmup behavior.
  - Lowers normal app-server subprocess logging from `info`/`debug` to
  `warn` to avoid multi-megabyte stderr output in Bazel logs.
  - Prevents the external-agent config test from attempting a real
  marketplace clone by using an invalid non-local source while still
  exercising the pending-import completion path.
  - Bounds optional filesystem/realtime waits and fake WebSocket
  test-server shutdown so failures produce targeted timeouts instead of
  hanging a shard.
  - Fixes the Unix script-resolution test in `rmcp-client` to exercise
  PATH resolution directly and include the actual spawn error in failures.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo clippy -p codex-app-server --tests -- -D warnings`
  - `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client
  program_resolver::tests::test_unix_executes_script_without_extension`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
  external_agent_config_import_sends_completion_notification_after_pending_plugins_finish
  -- --nocapture`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
  plugin_list_uses_warmed_featured_plugin_ids_cache_on_first_request --
  --nocapture`
  - Windows Local Bazel passed with this test-hardening bundle before it
  was extracted from #19606.

• fix: restore 30-minute timeout for Bazel builds (#19609)

  I think raising it to 45 minutes in
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19578 was a mistake for the reasons
  explained in the comments in the code. Instead, we attempt to defend
  against timeouts by increasing the number of shards in
  `app-server-all-test` so that a "true failure" that gets run 3x should
  not take as much wall clock time.

• test: stabilize app-server path assertions on Windows (#19604)

  ## Why
  
  Windows can represent the same canonical local path with either a normal
  drive path or a verbatim device path prefix. The failure pattern that
  motivated this PR was an assertion diff like `C:\...` versus
  `\\?\C:\...`: different spellings, same file.
  
  That became visible while validating the permissions stack above this
  PR. The stack increasingly routes paths through `AbsolutePathBuf`, which
  normalizes supported Windows device prefixes, while several existing
  tests still built expected values directly with
  `std::fs::canonicalize()` or compared `AbsolutePathBuf::as_path()` to a
  raw `PathBuf`. On Windows, that can make tests fail because the two
  sides choose different textual forms for an otherwise equivalent
  canonical path.
  
  This PR is intentionally split out as the bottom PR below #19606. The
  runtime permissions migration should not carry unrelated Windows test
  stabilization, and reviewers should be able to verify this as a
  test-only change before looking at the larger permissions changes.
  
  ## Failure Modes Covered
  
  - `conversation_summary` expected rollout paths were built from raw
  canonicalized `PathBuf`s, while app-server responses could carry
  `AbsolutePathBuf`-normalized paths.
  - `thread_resume` compared returned thread paths directly to previously
  stored or fixture paths, so a verbatim-prefix spelling could fail an
  otherwise correct resume.
  - `marketplace_add` compared plugin install roots through `as_path()`
  against raw canonicalized paths, reproducing the same `C:\...` versus
  `\\?\C:\...` mismatch in both app-server and core-plugin coverage.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - In `app-server/tests/suite/conversation_summary.rs`, normalize both
  expected rollout paths and received `ConversationSummary.path` values
  through `AbsolutePathBuf` before comparing the full summary object.
  - In `app-server/tests/suite/v2/thread_resume.rs`, normalize both sides
  of thread path comparisons before asserting equality. This keeps the
  tests focused on whether resume returned the same existing path, not
  whether Windows used the same string spelling.
  - In `app-server/tests/suite/v2/marketplace_add.rs` and
  `core-plugins/src/marketplace_add.rs`, compare install roots as
  `AbsolutePathBuf` values instead of comparing an absolute-path wrapper
  to a raw canonicalized `PathBuf`.
  
  ## Behavior
  
  This PR does not change production app-server or marketplace behavior.
  It only changes tests to assert semantic path identity across Windows
  path spelling variants. It also leaves API response values untouched;
  the normalization happens inside assertions only.
  
  ## Verification
  
  Targeted local checks run while extracting this fix:
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  get_conversation_summary_by_thread_id_reads_rollout`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  get_conversation_summary_by_relative_rollout_path_resolves_from_codex_home`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  thread_resume_prefers_path_over_thread_id`
  
  Windows-specific confidence comes from the Bazel Windows CI job for this
  PR, since the failure is platform-specific.
  
  ## Docs
  
  No docs update is needed because this is test-only infrastructure
  stabilization.

• test: isolate remote thread store regression from plugin warmups (#19593)

  Follow-up to #19266.
  
  ## Why
  
  
  `thread_start_with_non_local_thread_store_does_not_create_local_persistence`
  is meant to catch accidental local thread persistence when a non-local
  thread store is configured. The Windows flake reported in [this
  BuildBuddy
  invocation](https://app.buildbuddy.io/invocation/0b75dde4-6828-4e7b-a35b-e45b73fb005d)
  showed that the assertion was tripping on an unexpected top-level `.tmp`
  entry:
  
  ```diff
   {
  +    ".tmp",
       "config.toml",
       "installation_id",
       "memories",
       "skills",
   }
  ```
  
  That `.tmp` does not appear to come from `tempfile::TempDir`; it comes
  from unrelated plugin startup work that can legitimately materialize
  `codex_home/.tmp`, including the startup remote plugin sync marker in
  [`core/src/plugins/startup_sync.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bce74c70ce058982534507330ff33f7b196708ef/codex-rs/core/src/plugins/startup_sync.rs#L13-L15)
  and the curated plugin snapshot under
  [`.tmp/plugins`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bce74c70ce058982534507330ff33f7b196708ef/codex-rs/core-plugins/src/startup_sync.rs#L25-L26).
  
  That makes the regression race unrelated background startup tasks
  instead of validating the thread-store invariant it was added to cover.
  Rather than weakening the assertion to allow arbitrary `.tmp` entries,
  this change isolates the test from plugin warmups so it can stay strict
  about unexpected local thread persistence artifacts.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - disable plugins in the generated config used by
  `app-server/tests/suite/v2/remote_thread_store.rs`
  - keep the existing `codex_home` assertions unchanged so the test still
  fails if local session or sqlite persistence is introduced
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  suite::v2::remote_thread_store::thread_start_with_non_local_thread_store_does_not_create_local_persistence

• Restore persisted model provider on thread resume (#19287)

  Fixes #15219.
  
  ## Why
  
  `thread/resume` should continue a persisted thread with the same model
  provider that created the thread. The app server already restores the
  persisted model and reasoning effort before resuming, but it was leaving
  `model_provider` unset. If a user created a thread with one provider and
  later switched their active profile to another provider, resumed
  encrypted history could be sent to the wrong endpoint and fail with
  `invalid_encrypted_content`.
  
  The thread metadata already records the original provider, so resume
  should apply it when the caller has not explicitly requested a different
  model/provider/reasoning configuration.
  
  ## What changed
  
  This updates `merge_persisted_resume_metadata` in
  `app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs` to copy
  `ThreadMetadata::model_provider` into `ConfigOverrides::model_provider`
  alongside the persisted model.
  
  The existing resume metadata tests now also assert that:
  
  - the persisted provider is restored for normal resume
  - explicit model, provider, or reasoning-effort overrides still prevent
  persisted resume metadata from being applied
  - a thread with no persisted model or reasoning effort still resumes
  with its persisted provider
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server` passed the app-server unit tests,
  including the updated resume metadata coverage. The broader integration
  portion of that command failed in an unrelated environment-sensitive
  skills-budget warning assertion, where this run saw 8 omitted skills
  instead of the expected 7.
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server` completed successfully.

• Add goal core runtime (4 / 5) (#18076)

  Adds the core runtime behavior for active goals on top of the model
  tools from PR 3.
  
  ## Why
  
  A long-running goal should be a core runtime concern, not something
  every client has to implement. Core owns the turn lifecycle, tool
  completion boundaries, interruptions, resume behavior, and token usage,
  so it is the right place to account progress, enforce budgets, and
  decide when to continue work.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Centralized goal lifecycle side effects behind
  `Session::goal_runtime_apply(GoalRuntimeEvent::...)`.
  - Starts goal continuation turns only when the session is idle; pending
  user input and mailbox work take priority.
  - Accounts token and wall-clock usage at turn, tool, mutation,
  interrupt, and resume boundaries; `get_thread_goal` remains read-only.
  - Preserves sub-second wall-clock remainder across accounting boundaries
  so long-running goals do not drift downward over time.
  - Treats token budget exhaustion as a soft stop by marking the goal
  `budget_limited` and injecting wrap-up steering instead of aborting the
  active turn.
  - Suppresses budget steering when `update_goal` marks a goal complete.
  - Pauses active goals on interrupt and auto-reactivates paused goals
  when a thread resumes outside plan mode.
  - Suppresses repeated automatic continuation when a continuation turn
  makes no tool calls.
  - Added continuation and budget-limit prompt templates.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added focused core coverage for continuation scheduling, accounting
  boundaries, budget-limit steering, completion accounting, interrupt
  pause behavior, resume auto-activation, and wall-clock remainder
  accounting.

• Add goal app-server API (2 / 5) (#18074)

  Adds the app-server v2 goal API on top of the persisted goal state from
  PR 1.
  
  ## Why
  
  Clients need a stable app-server surface for reading and controlling
  materialized thread goals before the model tools and TUI can use them.
  Goal changes also need to be observable by app-server clients, including
  clients that resume an existing thread.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added v2 `thread/goal/get`, `thread/goal/set`, and `thread/goal/clear`
  RPCs for materialized threads.
  - Added `thread/goal/updated` and `thread/goal/cleared` notifications so
  clients can keep local goal state in sync.
  - Added resume/snapshot wiring so reconnecting clients see the current
  goal state for a thread.
  - Added app-server handlers that reconcile persisted rollout state
  before direct goal mutations.
  - Updated the app-server README plus generated JSON and TypeScript
  schema fixtures for the new API surface.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added app-server v2 coverage for goal get/set/clear behavior,
  notification emission, resume snapshots, and non-local thread-store
  interactions.

• Remove js_repl feature (#19410)

• permissions: remove legacy read-only access modes (#19449)

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

• [codex] add non-local thread store regression harness (#19266)

  - Add an integration test that guarantees nothing gets written to codex
  home dir or sqlite when running a rollout with a non-local ThreadStore
  - Add an in-memory "spy" ThreadStore for tests like this
  
  Note I could not find a good way to also ensure there were no filesystem
  _reads_ that didn't go through threadstore. I explored a more elaborate
  sandboxed-subprocess approach but it isn't platform portable and felt
  like it wasn't (yet) worth it.

• Migrate fork and resume reads to thread store (#18900)

  - Route cold thread/resume and thread/fork source loading through
  ThreadStore reads instead of direct rollout path operations
  - Keep lookups that explicitly specify a rollout-path using the local
  thread store methods but return an invalid-request error for remote
  ThreadStore configurations
  - Add some additional unit tests for code path coverage

• permissions: make legacy profile conversion cwd-free (#19414)

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

• [codex] Omit fork turns from thread started notifications (#19093)

  ## Why
  
  `thread/fork` responses intentionally include copied history so the
  caller can render the fork immediately, but `thread/started` is a
  lifecycle notification. The v2 `Thread` contract says notifications
  should return `turns: []`, and the fork path was reusing the response
  thread directly, causing copied turns to be emitted through
  `thread/started` as well.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Route app-server `thread/started` notification construction through a
  helper that clears `thread.turns` before sending.
  - Keep `thread/fork` responses unchanged so callers still receive copied
  history.
  - Add persistent and ephemeral fork coverage that asserts
  `thread/started` emits an empty `turns` array while the response retains
  fork history.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server`

• Fix hang on turn/interrupt (#18392)

  Fix a bug where the `turn/interrupt` RPC hangs when interrupting a turn
  that has already completed.
  
  Before this change, `turn/interrupt` requests were queued in app-server
  and only answered when a later TurnAborted event arrived. If the target
  turn was already complete, core treated Op::Interrupt as a no-op, so no
  abort event was emitted and the RPC could hang indefinitely.
  
  This change fixes that in two places:
  
  * Reject turn/interrupt immediately with `INVALID_REQUEST` when the
  requested turn is no longer the active turn.
  * Resolve any already-accepted pending interrupt requests when the turn
  reaches TurnComplete, covering the case where a turn finishes naturally
  after the interrupt request is accepted but before it aborts.
  
  I tested this by adding a failing test in
  707487c0634834f6741986b64f61886c2dc10108. You may view the results here:

• permissions: make profiles represent enforcement (#19231)

  ## Why
  
  `PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions abstraction,
  but the old shape only carried optional filesystem and network fields.
  It could describe allowed access, but not who is responsible for
  enforcing it. That made `DangerFullAccess` and `ExternalSandbox` lossy
  when profiles were exported, cached, or round-tripped through app-server
  APIs.
  
  The important model change is that active permissions are now a disjoint
  union over the enforcement mode. Conceptually:
  
  ```rust
  pub enum PermissionProfile {
      Managed {
          file_system: FileSystemSandboxPolicy,
          network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
      },
      Disabled,
      External {
          network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
      },
  }
  ```
  
  This distinction matters because `Disabled` means Codex should apply no
  outer sandbox at all, while `External` means filesystem isolation is
  owned by an outside caller. Those are not equivalent to a broad managed
  sandbox. For example, macOS cannot nest Seatbelt inside Seatbelt, so an
  inner sandbox may require the outer Codex layer to use no sandbox rather
  than a permissive one.
  
  ## How Existing Modeling Maps
  
  Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains a boundary projection, but it now maps
  into the higher-fidelity profile model:
  
  - `ReadOnly` and `WorkspaceWrite` map to `PermissionProfile::Managed`
  with restricted filesystem entries plus the corresponding network
  policy.
  - `DangerFullAccess` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
  the “no outer sandbox” intent instead of treating it as a lax managed
  sandbox.
  - `ExternalSandbox { network_access }` maps to
  `PermissionProfile::External { network }`, preserving external
  filesystem enforcement while still carrying the active network policy.
  - Split runtime policies that legacy `SandboxPolicy` cannot faithfully
  express, such as managed unrestricted filesystem plus restricted
  network, stay `Managed` instead of being collapsed into
  `ExternalSandbox`.
  - Per-command/session/turn grants remain partial overlays via
  `AdditionalPermissionProfile`; full `PermissionProfile` is reserved for
  complete active runtime permissions.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Change active `PermissionProfile` into a tagged union: `managed`,
  `disabled`, and `external`.
  - Keep partial permission grants separate with
  `AdditionalPermissionProfile` for command/session/turn overlays.
  - Represent managed filesystem permissions as either `restricted`
  entries or `unrestricted`; `glob_scan_max_depth` is non-zero when
  present.
  - Preserve old rollout compatibility by accepting the pre-tagged `{
  network, file_system }` profile shape during deserialization.
  - Preserve fidelity for important edge cases: `DangerFullAccess`
  round-trips as `disabled`, `ExternalSandbox` round-trips as `external`,
  and managed unrestricted filesystem + restricted network stays managed
  instead of being mistaken for external enforcement.
  - Preserve configured deny-read entries and bounded glob scan depth when
  full profiles are projected back into runtime policies, including
  unrestricted replacements that now become `:root = write` plus deny
  entries.
  - Regenerate the experimental app-server v2 JSON/TypeScript schema and
  update the `command/exec` README example for the tagged
  `permissionProfile` shape.
  
  ## Compatibility
  
  Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains available at config/API boundaries as the
  compatibility projection. Existing rollout lines with the old
  `PermissionProfile` shape continue to load. The app-server
  `permissionProfile` field is experimental, so its v2 wire shape is
  intentionally updated to match the higher-fidelity model.

• [codex] Support remote plugin install writes (#18917)

  ## Summary
  - Add a remote plugin install write call that POSTs the selected remote
  plugin to the ChatGPT cloud plugin API.
  - Align remote install with the latest remote read contract:
  `pluginName` carries the backend remote plugin id directly, for example
  `plugins~Plugin_linear`, and install no longer synthesizes
  `<name>@<marketplace>` ids.
  - Validate remote install ids with the same character rules as remote
  read, return the same install response shape as local installs, and
  include mocked app-server coverage for the write path.

• app-server: persist device key bindings in sqlite (#19206)

  ## Why
  
  Device-key providers should only own platform key material. The
  account/client binding used to authorize a signing payload is app-server
  state, and keeping that state in provider-specific metadata makes the
  same check harder to audit and harder to share across platform
  implementations.
  
  Persisting the binding in the shared state database gives the device-key
  crate a platform-neutral source of truth before it asks a provider to
  sign. It also lets app-server move potentially blocking key operations
  off the main message processor path, which matters once providers may
  wait for OS authentication prompts.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add a `device_key_bindings` state migration plus `StateRuntime`
  helpers keyed by `key_id`.
  - Add an async `DeviceKeyBindingStore` abstraction to `codex-device-key`
  and use it from `DeviceKeyStore::create` and `DeviceKeyStore::sign`.
  - Keep provider calls behind async store methods and run the synchronous
  provider work through `spawn_blocking`.
  - Wire app-server device-key RPC handling to the SQLite-backed binding
  store and spawn response/error delivery tasks for device-key requests.
  - Run the turn-start tracing test on the existing larger current-thread
  test harness after the larger async surface made the default test stack
  too small locally.

• feat: let model providers own model discovery (#18950)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-models-manager` had grown to own provider-specific concerns:
  constructing OpenAI-compatible `/models` requests, resolving provider
  auth, emitting request telemetry, and deciding how provider catalogs
  should be sourced. That made the manager harder to reuse for providers
  whose model catalog is not fetched from the OpenAI `/models` endpoint,
  such as Amazon Bedrock.
  
  This change moves provider-specific model discovery behind
  provider-owned implementations, so the models manager can focus on
  refresh policy, cache behavior, picker ordering, and model metadata
  merging.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Introduced a `ModelsManager` trait with separate `OpenAiModelsManager`
  and `StaticModelsManager` implementations.
  - Added `ModelsEndpointClient` so OpenAI-compatible HTTP fetching lives
  outside `codex-models-manager`.
  - Moved `/models` request construction, provider auth resolution,
  timeout handling, and request telemetry into `codex-model-provider` via
  `OpenAiModelsEndpoint`.
  - Added provider-owned `models_manager(...)` construction so configured
  OpenAI-compatible providers use `OpenAiModelsManager`, while
  static/catalog-backed providers can return `StaticModelsManager`.
  - Added an Amazon Bedrock static model catalog for the GPT OSS Bedrock
  model IDs.
  - Updated core/session/thread manager code and tests to depend on
  `Arc<dyn ModelsManager>`.
  - Moved offline model test helpers into
  `codex_models_manager::test_support`.
  ## Metadata References
  
  The Bedrock catalog metadata is based on the official Amazon Bedrock
  OpenAI model documentation:
  
  - [Amazon Bedrock OpenAI
  models](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters-openai.html)
  lists the Bedrock model IDs, text input/output modalities, and `128,000`
  token context window for `gpt-oss-20b` and `gpt-oss-120b`.
  - [Amazon Bedrock `gpt-oss-120b` model
  card](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-openai-gpt-oss-120b.html)
  lists the `bedrock-runtime` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`, the
  `bedrock-mantle` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b`, text-only modalities,
  and `128K` context window.
  - [OpenAI `gpt-oss-120b` model
  docs](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-oss-120b)
  document configurable reasoning effort with `low`, `medium`, and `high`,
  plus text input/output modality.
  
  The display names, default reasoning effort, and priority ordering are
  Codex-local catalog choices.
  
  ## Test Plan
  - Manually verified app-server model listing with an AWS profile:
  
  ```shell
  CODEX_HOME="$(mktemp -d)" cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
    --codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
    -c 'model_provider="amazon-bedrock"' \
    -c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.profile="codex-bedrock"' \
    -c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.region="us-west-2"' \
    model-list
  ```
  
  The response returned the Bedrock catalog with `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`
  as the default model and `openai.gpt-oss-20b-1:0` as the second listed
  model, both text-only and supporting low/medium/high reasoning effort.

• feat: expose AWS account state from account/read (#19048)

  ## Why
  
  AWS/Bedrock mode currently reports `account: null` with
  `requiresOpenaiAuth: false` from `account/read`. That suppresses the
  OpenAI-auth requirement, but it does not let app clients distinguish AWS
  auth from any other non-OpenAI custom provider. For the prototype AWS
  provider UX, clients need a simple provider-derived signal so they can
  suppress ChatGPT/API-key login and token-refresh paths without
  hardcoding Bedrock checks.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds an `aws` variant to the v2 `Account` protocol union.
  - Adds `ProviderAccountKind` to `codex-model-provider` so the runtime
  provider owns the app-visible account classification.
  - Makes Amazon Bedrock return `ProviderAccountKind::Aws` from the
  model-provider layer.
  - Updates app-server `account/read` to map `ProviderAccountKind` to the
  existing `GetAccountResponse` wire shape.
  - Preserves the existing `account: null, requiresOpenaiAuth: false`
  behavior for other non-OpenAI providers.
  - Regenerates the app-server protocol schema fixtures.
  - Adds coverage for provider account classification and for the Amazon
  Bedrock `account/read` response.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-model-provider`

  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server get_account_with_aws_provider`

• Increase app-server WebSocket outbound buffer (#19246)

  Fixes #18203.
  
  ## Why
  
  Remote TUI clients connected through `codex app-server --listen
  ws://...` can receive short bursts of outbound turn and tool-output
  notifications. The WebSocket transport previously used the shared
  128-message channel capacity for its outbound writer queue, so a healthy
  client that briefly lagged during normal output streaming could fill the
  queue and be disconnected immediately.
  
  This is a smaller mitigation than #18265: instead of adding a new
  overflow/backpressure pipeline, keep the existing non-blocking router
  behavior and give WebSocket clients enough bounded headroom for
  realistic bursts.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added a WebSocket-only outbound writer capacity of `64 * 1024`
  messages.
  - Used that larger capacity only for the WebSocket data writer queue in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/transport/websocket.rs`.
  - Left the shared `CHANNEL_CAPACITY` and the existing disconnect-on-full
  behavior unchanged for internal/control channels and genuinely stuck
  clients.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  transport::tests::broadcast_does_not_block_on_slow_connection`
  - Manually retried the #18203 repro prompt against the remote TUI and
  confirmed it stayed connected.

• refactor: route Codex auth through AuthProvider (#18811)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR moves Codex backend request authentication from direct
  bearer-token handling to `AuthProvider`.
  
  The new `codex-auth-provider` crate defines the shared request-auth
  trait. `CodexAuth::provider()` returns a provider that can apply all
  headers needed for the selected auth mode.
  
  This lets ChatGPT token auth and AgentIdentity auth share the same
  callsite path:
  - ChatGPT token auth applies bearer auth plus account/FedRAMP headers
  where needed.
  - AgentIdentity auth applies AgentAssertion plus account/FedRAMP headers
  where needed.
  
  Reference old stack: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
  
  ## Callsite Migration
  
  | Area | Change |
  | --- | --- |
  | backend-client | accepts an `AuthProvider` instead of a raw
  token/header |
  | chatgpt client/connectors | applies auth through
  `CodexAuth::provider()` |
  | cloud tasks | keeps Codex-backend gating, applies auth through
  provider |
  | cloud requirements | uses Codex-backend auth checks and provider
  headers |
  | app-server remote control | applies provider headers for backend calls
  |
  | MCP Apps/connectors | gates on `uses_codex_backend()` and keys caches
  from generic account getters |
  | model refresh | treats AgentIdentity as Codex-backend auth |
  | OpenAI file upload path | rejects non-Codex-backend auth before
  applying headers |
  | core client setup | keeps model-provider auth flow and allows
  AgentIdentity through provider-backed OpenAI auth |

• Add remote thread config endpoint (#18908)

  ## Why
  
  App-server needs a way to fetch thread-scoped config from the remote
  thread config service when the user config opts into that behavior. This
  mirrors the existing experimental remote thread store endpoint while
  keeping local/noop behavior as the default.
  
  Startup paths also need to avoid silently dropping the remote config
  endpoint after the first config load. The stdio app-server path
  discovers the endpoint from the initial config and installs the real
  thread config loader for later config builds, while in-process clients
  used by TUI/exec now select the same remote loader directly from their
  provided config.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `experimental_thread_config_endpoint` to `ConfigToml`, `Config`,
  and `core/config.schema.json`.
  - Added config parsing coverage for the new setting.
  - Updated app-server startup to select `RemoteThreadConfigLoader` from
  the initially loaded config, falling back to `NoopThreadConfigLoader`
  when unset.
  - Let `ConfigManager` replace its thread config loader after startup
  discovery so later config loads use the selected loader.
  - Updated in-process app-server client startup to pass
  `RemoteThreadConfigLoader` when its config has
  `experimental_thread_config_endpoint` set.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added `experimental_thread_config_endpoint_loads_from_config_toml`.
  - Added
  `runtime_start_args_use_remote_thread_config_loader_when_configured`.
  - Ran `cargo check -p codex-app-server --lib`.
  - Ran `cargo test -p codex-app-server-client`.

• Respect explicit untrusted project config (#18626)

  ## Why
  
  Fixes #18475. A `-c` override such as `projects.<cwd>.trust_level =
  "untrusted"` is meant to be a runtime config override, but app-server
  thread startup treated any non-trusted project as eligible for automatic
  trust persistence when a permissive sandbox/cwd was requested. That
  meant an explicit `untrusted` session override could still cause
  `config.toml` to be updated with `trusted`.
  
  ## What changed
  
  The app-server auto-trust path now runs only when the active project
  trust level is unknown. Explicit `trusted` and explicit `untrusted`
  values are both respected, regardless of whether they came from
  persisted config or session flags.
  
  A focused `thread/start` test now covers the explicit `untrusted` case
  with a permissive sandbox request.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`

• Add excludeTurns parameter to thread/resume and thread/fork (#19014)

  For callers who expect to be paginating the results for the UI, they can
  now call thread/resume or thread/fork with excludeturns:true so it will
  not fetch any pages of turns, and instead only set up the subscription.
  That call can be immediately followed by pagination requests to
  thread/turns/list to fetch pages of turns according to the UI's current
  interactions.

• Support MCP tools in hooks (#18385)

  ## Summary
  
  Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
  `PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
  - hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
  - hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
  - core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
  
  That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
  model-visible and stable
  
  This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
  payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
  
  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  I think these are the key files
  - `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
  - `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
  
  Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
  mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
  `command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
  
  ## Changes
  
  - Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
  to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
  hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
  - Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
  model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
  as `tool_input`.
  - Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
  `McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
  - Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
  remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
  elicitation.
  - Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
  `mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
  patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

• app-server: include filesystem entries in permission requests (#19086)

  ## Why
  
  `item/permissions/requestApproval` sends a requested permission profile
  to app-server clients. The core profile already stores filesystem
  permissions as `entries`, but the v2 compatibility conversion used the
  legacy `read`/`write` projection whenever possible and left `entries`
  unset.
  
  That made the request ambiguous for clients that consume the canonical
  v2 shape: `permissions.fileSystem.entries` was missing even though
  filesystem access was being requested. A client that rendered or echoed
  grants from `entries` could treat the request as having no filesystem
  permission entries, then return an empty or incomplete grant. The
  app-server intersects responses with the original request, so omitted
  filesystem permissions are denied.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Populate `AdditionalFileSystemPermissions.entries` when converting
  legacy read/write roots for request permission payloads, while
  preserving `read` and `write` for compatibility.
  - Mark `read` and `write` as transitional schema fields in the generated
  app-server schema.
  - Add regression coverage for the v2 conversion, the app-server
  `item/permissions/requestApproval` round trip, and TUI app-server
  approval conversion expectations.
  - Refresh generated JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server request_permissions_round_trip`

• Clarify cloud requirements error messages (#19078)

  ## Why
  The current cloud-requirements failures say `workspace-managed config`,
  which is ambiguous and can read like it refers to local managed config
  such as `managed_config.toml`.
  
  This code path only applies to cloud requirements, so the user-facing
  message should name that source directly.
  
  ## What changed
  - Updated the load failure in
  [`codex-rs/cloud-requirements/src/lib.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/46e704d1f93054daa9a3b5a9100333c540c81d50/codex-rs/cloud-requirements/src/lib.rs)
  to say `failed to load cloud requirements (workspace-managed policies)`.
  - Updated the parse failure in the same file to use the same `cloud
  requirements (workspace-managed policies)` terminology.
  - Kept `workspace-managed` hyphenated because it is used as a compound
  modifier.
  - Updated the matching assertion in
  [`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/46e704d1f93054daa9a3b5a9100333c540c81d50/codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs).
  - Reused `CLOUD_REQUIREMENTS_LOAD_FAILED_MESSAGE` in the
  `codex-cloud-requirements` test where the test is asserting that
  crate-local contract directly.

  `cargo test -p codex-cloud-requirements`

• app-server: accept command permission profiles (#18283)

  ## Why
  
  `command/exec` is another app-server entry point that can run under
  caller-provided permissions. It needs to accept `PermissionProfile`
  directly so command execution is not left behind on `SandboxPolicy`
  while thread APIs move forward.
  
  Command-level profiles also need to preserve the semantics clients
  expect from profile-relative paths. `:cwd` and cwd-relative deny globs
  should be anchored to the resolved command cwd for a command-specific
  profile, while configured deny-read restrictions such as `**/*.env =
  none` still need to be enforced because they can come from config or
  requirements rather than the command override itself.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  This adds `permissionProfile` to `CommandExecParams`, rejects requests
  that combine it with `sandboxPolicy`, and converts accepted profiles
  into the runtime filesystem/network permissions used for command
  execution.
  
  When a command supplies a profile, the app-server resolves that profile
  against the command cwd instead of the thread/server cwd. It also
  preserves configured deny-read entries and `globScanMaxDepth` on the
  effective filesystem policy so one-off command overrides cannot drop
  those read protections. The PR also updates app-server docs/schema
  fixtures and adds command-exec coverage for accepted, rejected,
  cwd-scoped, and deny-read-preserving profile paths.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  command_exec_permission_profile_cwd_uses_command_cwd`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server
  command_profile_preserves_configured_deny_read_restrictions`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server

• codex: support hooks in config.toml and requirements.toml (#18893)

  ## Summary
  
  Support the existing hooks schema in inline TOML so hooks can be
  configured from both `config.toml` and enterprise-managed
  `requirements.toml` without requiring a separate `hooks.json` payload.
  
  This gives enterprise admins a way to ship managed hook policy through
  the existing requirements channel while still leaving script delivery to
  MDM or other device-management tooling, and it keeps `hooks.json`
  working unchanged for existing users.
  
  This also lays the groundwork for follow-on managed filtering work such
  as #15937, while continuing to respect project trust gating from #14718.
  It does **not** implement `allow_managed_hooks_only` itself.
  
  NOTE: yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the toml isn't formatted as
  closely as normal to our default styling. This is because we're trying
  to stay compatible with the spec for plugins/hooks that we'll need to
  support & the main usecase here is embedding into requirements.toml
  
  ## What changed
  
  - moved the shared hook serde model out of `codex-rs/hooks` into
  `codex-rs/config` so the same schema can power `hooks.json`, inline
  `config.toml` hooks, and managed `requirements.toml` hooks
  - added `hooks` support to both `ConfigToml` and
  `ConfigRequirementsToml`, including requirements-side `managed_dir` /
  `windows_managed_dir`
  - treated requirements-managed hooks as one constrained value via
  `Constrained`, so managed hook policy is merged atomically and cannot
  drift across requirement sources
  - updated hook discovery to load requirements-managed hooks first, then
  per-layer `hooks.json`, then per-layer inline TOML hooks, with a warning
  when a single layer defines both representations
  - threaded managed hook metadata through discovered handlers and exposed
  requirements hooks in app-server responses, generated schemas, and
  `/debug-config`
  - added hook/config coverage in `codex-rs/config`, `codex-rs/hooks`,
  `codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/tests.rs`, and
  `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/hooks.rs`
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server config_api`
  
  ## Documentation
  
  Companion updates are needed in the developers website repo for:
  
  - the hooks guide
  - the config reference, sample, basic, and advanced pages
  - the enterprise managed configuration guide

• Rename approvals reviewer variant to auto-review (#19056)

  ## Why
  
  `approvals_reviewer` now uses `auto_review` as the canonical config/API
  value after #18504, but the Rust enum variant and nearby helper/test
  names still used `GuardianSubagent` / guardian approval wording. That
  made follow-up code and reviews confusing even though the external value
  had already moved to Auto-review.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Renamed `ApprovalsReviewer::GuardianSubagent` to
  `ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
  - Updated protocol, app-server, config, core, TUI, exec, and analytics
  test callsites.
  - Renamed nearby helper/test names from guardian approval wording to
  Auto-review wording where they refer to the approvals reviewer mode.
  - Preserved wire compatibility:
    - `auto_review` remains the canonical serialized value.
    - `guardian_subagent` remains accepted as a legacy alias.
  
  This intentionally does not rename the `[features].guardian_approval`
  key, `Feature::GuardianApproval`, `core/src/guardian`, analytics event
  names, or app-server Guardian review event types.

• Rebrand approvals reviewer config to auto-review (#18504)

  ### Why
  
  Auto-review is the user-facing name for the approvals reviewer, but the
  config/API value still exposed the old `guardian_subagent` name. That
  made new configs and generated schemas point users at Guardian
  terminology even though the intended product surface is Auto-review.
  
  This PR updates the external `approvals_reviewer` value while preserving
  compatibility for existing configs and clients.
  
  ### What changed
  
  - Makes `auto_review` the canonical serialized value for
  `approvals_reviewer`.
  - Keeps `guardian_subagent` accepted as a legacy alias.
  - Keeps `user` accepted and serialized as `user`.
  - Updates generated config and app-server schemas so
  `approvals_reviewer` includes:
    - `user`
    - `auto_review`
    - `guardian_subagent`
  - Updates app-server README docs for the reviewer value.
  - Updates analytics and config requirements tests for the canonical
  auto_review value.
  
  
  ### Compatibility
  
  Existing configs and API payloads using:
  
  ```toml
  approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"
  ```
  
  continue to load and map to the Auto-review reviewer behavior. 
  
  New serialization emits: 
  ```toml
  approvals_reviewer = "auto_review" 
  ```
  
  This PR intentionally does not rename the [features].guardian_approval
  key or broad internal Guardian symbols. Those are split out for a
  follow-up PR to keep this migration small and avoid touching large
  TUI/internal surfaces.

• app-server: accept permission profile overrides (#18279)

  ## Why
  
  `PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions shape shared
  by core and app-server. After app-server responses expose the active
  profile, clients need to be able to send that same shape back when
  starting, resuming, forking, or overriding a turn instead of translating
  through the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` shorthands.
  
  This still needs to preserve the existing requirements/platform
  enforcement model. A profile-shaped request can be downgraded or
  rejected by constraints, but the server should keep the user's
  elevated-access intent for project trust decisions. Turn-level profile
  overrides also need to retain existing read protections, including
  deny-read entries and bounded glob-scan metadata, so a permission
  override cannot accidentally drop configured protections such as
  `**/*.env = deny`.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds optional `permissionProfile` request fields to `thread/start`,
  `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start`.
  - Rejects ambiguous requests that specify both `permissionProfile` and
  the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` fields, including running-thread
  resume requests.
  - Converts profile-shaped overrides into core runtime filesystem/network
  permissions while continuing to derive the constrained legacy sandbox
  projection used by existing execution paths.
  - Preserves project-trust intent for profile overrides that are
  equivalent to workspace-write or full-access sandbox requests.
  - Preserves existing deny-read entries and `globScanMaxDepth` when
  applying turn-level `permissionProfile` overrides.
  - Updates app-server docs plus generated JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures
  and regression coverage.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol schema_fixtures`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
