Adam Perry @ OpenAIandGitHub bf667c7003 [codex] Load AGENTS.md from all bound environments (#27696)
## Why

We already have the machinery to support multiple environments on a
single thread, but we only show the model the contents of `AGENTS.md`
files in the primary environment.

We should show the model all of the relevant project instructions when
we know there's more than one environment.

## Known Gaps

As discussed in the RFC, this implementation:

1. doesn't handle environments being added/removed to/from the thread
after its creation
2. it doesn't enforce an aggregate context budget across environments,
and instead applies the configured project maximum independently to each
environment

## Implementation

- Discover project instructions in environment order with an independent
byte budget per environment and preserve source provenance/order.
- Keep the legacy fragment byte-for-byte when exactly one environment
contributes project instructions; use environment-labeled sections when
two or more environments contribute.
- Freeze the complete rendered fragment in `LoadedAgentsMd`, insert it
directly into requests, and recognize both layouts in contextual and
memory filtering.
- Add exact rendering, independent-budget, source-order,
creation-snapshot, and consumer coverage without changing app-server
schemas.

Shijie RaoandGitHub 216ce03031 Add request_user_input auto-resolution window contract (#27256)
## Why

`request_user_input` is moving beyond its original plan-mode-only
workflow, and future default/goal-mode usage needs a way for the model
to ask helpful but non-blocking questions without forcing the turn to
wait forever. This PR adds an explicit `autoResolutionMs` contract so a
later client/runtime change can auto-resolve unanswered prompts after a
bounded window while leaving truly blocking questions unchanged.

This is contract plumbing only; it does not implement the client-side
timer or auto-selection behavior, and the model-facing description
treats the field as reserved unless the current runtime explicitly
supports auto-resolution.

## What Changed

- Added optional `autoResolutionMs` to the model-facing
`request_user_input` args and core `RequestUserInputEvent`.
- Added model-facing schema text for `autoResolutionMs` while marking it
reserved for runtimes that explicitly support auto-resolution.
- Bounds `autoResolutionMs` to `60_000..=240_000` ms during argument
normalization by clamping out-of-range model-provided values.
- Propagated the field through app-server v2
`ToolRequestUserInputParams`, app-server request forwarding, generated
TypeScript, and JSON schema fixtures.
- Updated app-server, core, protocol, and TUI call sites/tests so
omitted values preserve existing `None`/`null` behavior and coverage
verifies a `Some(60_000)` round trip.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub be338ee9a2 [codex] resolve environment shell metadata eagerly (#27709)
## Why

Turn construction passed resolved environments through several layers
while leaving the environment shell unresolved. As a result,
model-visible environment context could fall back to the session shell
instead of reporting the selected remote environment's shell.

Resolve environment metadata at the turn-context boundary so each turn
carries the shell that belongs to its selected environment. Keep request
validation in app-server, where invalid selections can be returned as
straightforward JSON-RPC errors without coupling core turn construction
to that policy.

## What changed

- resolve environment selections eagerly in
`new_turn_context_from_configuration`
- store the full resolved `Shell` on each `TurnEnvironment`
- simplify the now-redundant resolved-environment constructor plumbing
- keep duplicate and unknown-environment validation as a small
app-server preflight
- add a remote-environment integration test that runs a full
`test_codex` turn and verifies the model-visible environment message
reports `bash`

## Testing

- `cargo check -p codex-core --test all -p codex-app-server`
- `remote_test_env_exposes_bash_shell_to_model` on the Linux

mchen-oaiandGitHub 92d9036910 Add spans to turn lifecycle gaps (#27623)
## Why
Codex app-server latency traces do not granularly cover turn task
startup and inter-request handoffs. These spans help attribute time
across task execution, startup prewarm, in-flight tool completion, and
rollout persistence.

## What changed
- Add `session_task.run` spans around task execution and
`session_task.flush_rollout` around flushing pending conversation
transcript writes to durable storage
- Add `regular_task.prepare_run_turn` around regular-turn startup (Send
the `TurnStarted` event, reset turn-specific reasoning state, and
resolve any startup prewarm)
- Add `startup_prewarm.resolve` around waiting for background session
prewarming to finish, fail, time out, or be cancelled
- Add a function-level trace span around draining in-flight tool calls
(Wait for tool calls to complete, record tool result in conversation
history, and other bookkeeping)

## Verification
Trigger Codex rollout and observe new spans are included

TomandGitHub b2cc01fc7c [codex] Move persistence policy application into ThreadStore (#27318)
Move the application of the persistence policy into the thread store, so

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 7516eb5c70 Include thread id in token budget context (#27663)
## Why

The token budget full-context fragment identifies the current context
window, but not the thread that owns that window. Including the thread
id makes the initial context-window metadata self-contained, and
`get_context_remaining` also needs to be usable from Code Mode without
forcing callers to parse the model-facing fragment string.

## What changed

- Include the session thread id in the initial `<token_budget>` context
fragment.
- Expose `get_context_remaining` as a Code Mode nested tool while
keeping `new_context` direct-model-only.
- Keep direct model-facing `get_context_remaining` output as the
existing `<token_budget>` text fragment.
- Return only `tokens_left` from the Code Mode structured result for
`get_context_remaining`.
- Update token-budget integration tests and add Code Mode coverage for
the structured result.

## Verification

Owen LinandGitHub 14df0e8833 core: Consolidate Responses API Codex metadata (#27122)
## What
Introduce a `CodexResponsesMetadata` struct that defines all the core
metadata we send to Responses API. Example fields are `thread_id`,
`turn_id`, `window_id`, etc.

Going forward, `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]` will be the
canonical way Codex sends metadata to Responses API across both HTTP and
websocket transports.

For now, we continue to emit the existing top-level HTTP headers and
top-level `client_metadata` fields from the same
`CodexResponsesMetadata` struct for compatibility reasons.

Also, app-server clients who specify additional
`responsesapi_client_metadata` via `turn/start` and `turn/steer` will
have those fields merged into
`client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, but cannot override the
reserved fields that core uses (i.e. the fields in
`CodexResponsesMetadata`).

## Why

Responses API request instrumentation is the source of truth for
downstream Codex analytics that join requests by Codex IDs such as
session, thread, turn, and context window. Before this change, those
values were assembled through several request-specific paths: HTTP
request bodies, websocket handshake headers, websocket `response.create`
payloads, compaction requests, and the rich `x-codex-turn-metadata`
envelope all had their own wiring.

That made metadata propagation easy to drift across API-key/direct
Responses API requests, ChatGPT-auth/proxied requests, websocket
requests, and compaction requests. It also made additions like
`window_id` error-prone because a field could be added to one transport
projection but missed in another.

## What changed

- Added `CodexResponsesMetadata` as the core-owned snapshot for Codex
metadata sent to ResponsesAPI.
- Render `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, flat
`client_metadata` projections, and direct compatibility headers from
that same snapshot.
- Include the known Codex-owned fields in the turn metadata blob,
including installation/session/thread/turn/window IDs, request kind,
lineage, sandbox/workspace metadata, timing, and compaction details.
- Treat app-server `responsesapi_client_metadata` as enrichment for the
Codex turn metadata blob while preventing those extras from overriding
Codex-owned fields.
- Use the same metadata path for normal turns, websocket prewarm, local
compaction, remote v1 compaction, and remote v2 compaction.
- Keep websocket connection-only preconnect metadata separate so
handshakes carry compatibility identity headers without inventing a fake
turn metadata blob.

- `just fix -p codex-core`

jifandGitHub 4a5a676499 Resolve MCP server registrations through a catalog (#27634)
## Why

MCP servers currently come from user config, local plugins,
compatibility Apps synthesis, and host extensions. Those sources were
composed by mutating a shared map, leaving registration identity,
precedence, removal, and provenance implicit in assembly order.

Before adding executor-owned MCPs, Codex needs one durable resolution
boundary above `McpConnectionManager`. This PR introduces that boundary
while preserving current server configuration, policy, and runtime
behavior. Executor-scoped registrations and explicit policy layers
remain follow-ups.

## What changed

- Add typed `McpServerRegistration` inputs and an immutable
`ResolvedMcpCatalog` in `codex-mcp`.
- Retain each registration's complete `McpServerConfig`, including its
environment binding, while recording its source and provenance.
- Preserve the existing structural precedence between plugin, config,
compatibility, and ordered extension sources.
- Resolve equal-precedence actions by contribution order; provenance IDs
are used only for diagnostics and cannot affect the winner.
- Preserve extension removals and the existing name-scoped `enabled =
false` veto.
- Report same-tier conflicts with every contender and the final catalog
outcome, including whether the winning action registers or removes the
server.
- Require MCP contributors to provide a stable diagnostic identity.
- Derive materialized server maps and plugin ownership from the resolved
catalog.

`McpConnectionManager`, transport startup, tool calls, and resource
routing continue to consume the same effective `McpServerConfig` values.

## Scope

This PR does not add new MCP capabilities or change user-visible
behavior. It does not add executor plugin discovery, thread-scoped
registrations, dynamic refresh generations, or new user/managed policy
semantics.

## Verification

- Added focused catalog coverage for source precedence, complete
configuration preservation, disabled vetoes, plugin ownership,
contribution-order tie breaking, removal outcomes, and conflict
diagnostics.
- Extended hosted Apps coverage for ordered extension removal and
Apps-disabled hosts with and without the hosted extension installed.

Adam Perry @ OpenAIandGitHub 236b50125d [codex] Load user instructions through an injected provider (#27101)
## Why

We want to remove implicit use of `$CODEX_HOME` from `codex-core` and
make embedders responsible for supplying user-level instructions. This
also ensures user instructions load when no primary environment is
selected.

## What changed

Stacked on #27415, which makes `codex exec` surface thread-scoped
runtime warnings.

- Added `UserInstructionsProvider` to `codex-extension-api`, with
absolute source attribution and recoverable loading warnings.
- Added `codex-home` with the filesystem-backed provider for
`AGENTS.override.md` and `AGENTS.md`, preserving precedence, fallback,
trimming, lossy UTF-8 handling, and the existing uncapped global
instruction size.
- Removed global instruction loading from `Config` and require
`ThreadManager` callers to inject a provider.
- Load provider instructions once for each fresh root runtime, including
runtimes without a primary environment. Running sessions retain their
snapshot, while child agents inherit the parent snapshot without
invoking the provider.
- Keep provider instructions separate while loading project `AGENTS.md`,
then assemble the model-visible instructions with the existing ordering,
source attribution, warning, and turn-context behavior.
- Wired the Codex home provider through the CLI, app server, MCP server,
core facade, and thread-manager sample.

jifandGitHub a287c5dffd skills: make backend plugin skills invocable without an executor (#27387)
## Why

#27198 made the extension-owned `codex_apps` MCP connection the hosted
plugin runtime, but its `mcp/skill` resources still bypassed the skills
extension. App-server could list and read those resources through
generic MCP APIs, but a thread with no selected environment did not
expose them in the model's skills catalog or load their `SKILL.md`
through `$skill`.

Hosted skills should stay remote while using the same typed catalog,
source authority, deduplication, bounded contextual catalog, and
selected-skill prompt injection as host and executor skills. They should
not be downloaded or exposed as ambient filesystem paths.

## What changed

- Add a session-scoped `McpResourceClient` over the replaceable MCP
connection manager so resource list/read calls follow startup and
refresh replacements.
- Add a `BackendSkillProvider` that pages `codex_apps` resources,
accepts bounded and validated `mcp/skill` entries, and reads a selected
skill's `SKILL.md` through the same MCP connection.
- Register the remote provider in app-server and include it in the
skills catalog even when a thread has no selected capability roots or
executor.
- Contribute hosted skill metadata through the bounded
`AvailableSkillsInstructions` developer-context path, exclude remote
entries from per-turn catalog injection, and classify `<skills>`
messages as contextual developer content so rollback can trim and
rebuild them correctly.

## Testing

- Extend the app-server MCP resource integration test with
`environments: []` to exercise two-page discovery, filter a
non-`mcp/skill` resource, verify the escaped developer catalog entry and
user-role `<skill>` fragment containing the fetched `SKILL.md`, and
preserve generic MCP resource reads.
- Add core event-mapping coverage that classifies `<skills>` developer
messages as contextual history.

Ahmed IbrahimandGitHub ba4925b3c2 [codex] Compact when comp_hash changes (#27520)
## Summary
- snapshot `comp_hash` into `TurnContext` when the turn is created and
use that snapshot as the downstream source of truth
- persist the turn hash in rollout context and recover it into
previous-turn settings during resume and fork replay
- compact existing history with the previous model only when both
adjacent turns provide hashes and the values differ
- record `comp_hash_changed` as the compaction reason
- cover ordinary transitions, resume, and missing-hash compatibility
with end-to-end tests

## Why
History produced under one compaction-compatible model configuration may
not be safe to carry directly into another. Compacting at the turn
boundary converts that history before context updates and the new user
message are added. Persisting the turn snapshot in `TurnContextItem`
makes the same protection work after resuming a rollout.

A missing hash is not treated as evidence of incompatibility. `None →
Some`, `Some → None`, and `None → None` do not trigger compaction; only
`Some(previous) → Some(current)` with unequal values does.

## Stack
- depends on #27532
- #27532 is based directly on `main`

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 87ab01834a [codex] Add new context window tool (#27488)
## Why

The token budget feature tells the model how much room remains in the
current context window. When the model decides the current window is no
longer useful, it needs a way to ask Codex to start over with a fresh
context window without spending tokens on a compaction summary.

This PR adds that model-requestable escape hatch on top of #27438.

## What changed

- Added a direct-model-only `new_context` tool behind
`Feature::TokenBudget`.
- Stores the tool request on `AutoCompactWindow` and consumes it after
sampling so the next follow-up request in the same turn starts in the
new window.
- Starts the new window as a no-summary compaction checkpoint that
contains only fresh initial context, not preserved conversation history.
- Keeps the new window aligned with token-budget startup context,
including the `Current context window Z` message.
- Added integration coverage and a snapshot showing the same-turn
`new_context` flow into a fresh full-context follow-up request.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 658af936fd [codex] Add token budget context feature (#27438)
## Why

The model should be able to see bounded context-window budget metadata
when the `token_budget` feature is enabled. The full-window message is
only injected with full context, while normal turns get a smaller
follow-up only when reported usage first crosses a budget threshold.

## What changed

- Added the `TokenBudget` feature flag.
- Added `<token_budget>` developer fragments for full context-window
metadata and current-window remaining tokens.
- Inserted the threshold message during normal turn handling by
comparing token usage before and after sampling, avoiding persistent
threshold bookkeeping.
- Added core integration coverage for full-context-only metadata and
25/50/75 percent threshold messages.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `git diff --check`

Curtis 'Fjord' HawthorneandGitHub a6f435ea94 core: resize all history images behind a feature flag (#27247)
## Summary

Adds complete client-side image preparation behind the default-off
`resize_all_images` feature flag.

When enabled, local image producers defer decoding and resizing. Images
are prepared centrally before insertion into conversation history,
covering user input, `view_image`, and structured tool-output images.

## Behavior

- Processes base64 `data:` images in messages and function/custom tool
outputs.
- Leaves non-data URLs, including HTTP(S) URLs, unchanged.
- Applies image-detail budgets:
  - `high` and omitted: 2048px maximum dimension and 2.5K 32px patches.
  - `original`: 6000px maximum dimension and 10K 32px patches.
  - `auto`: uses the same 2048px / 2.5K-patch budget as high.
  - `low`: unsupported and replaced with an actionable placeholder.
- Preserves original image bytes when no resize or format conversion is
needed.
- Enforces the shared 1 GiB encoded and decoded data-URL sanity limits.
- Replaces only an image that fails preparation, preserving sibling
content and tool-output metadata.
- Uses bounded placeholders distinguishing generic processing failures,
oversized images, and unsupported `low` detail.
- Prepares resumed and forked history before installing it as live
history without modifying persisted rollouts.

## Flag-Off Behavior

When `resize_all_images` is disabled:

- Existing local user-input and `view_image` processing remains
unchanged.
- Existing decoding and error behavior remains unchanged.
- Arbitrary tool-output images are not processed.
- HTTP(S) image URLs continue to be forwarded unchanged.

guinness-oaiandGitHub 22dd6ebc7d Forward standalone assistant output to realtime (#27319)
## Why

When a realtime session is open without an active frontend-model
handoff, completed Codex assistant messages are currently dropped. That
prevents the frontend model from hearing orchestrator preambles and
final responses produced by typed turns or other non-handoff work, which
makes the two models present as disconnected personas.

Active handoffs already forward each completed assistant message,
including preambles. This change leaves those V1 and V2 paths intact and
fills only the no-active-handoff gap.

## What changed

- Send standalone V1 assistant messages through
`conversation.handoff.append` with a stable synthetic handoff ID
- Send standalone V2 assistant messages as normal `[BACKEND]`
`conversation.item.create` message items, then enqueue `response.create`
so the frontend model responds
- Preserve the existing active V1 and V2 transport and completion
behavior
- Continue excluding user messages from realtime mirroring
- Skip empty output and cap each complete context injection, including
its V2 prefix, at 1,000 tokens
- Add end-to-end coverage for both wire formats, V2 response creation,
preambles, final responses, and truncation

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 30ddb3325e [codex] Store compact window id in rollout (#27264)
## 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.

Charlie MarshandGitHub 41b4fabbb4 Use latest-wins MCP manager replacement (#27259)
## 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.

jifandGitHub d2f6d23c6c Remove async-trait from extension contributors (#27383)
## 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.

jifandGitHub 9cd11e9e62 Use plugin-service MCP as the hosted plugin runtime (#27198)
## 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.

Ahmed IbrahimandGitHub a7b6baecc6 [codex] Make MCP connection startup fallible (#27261)
## 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

mchen-oaiandGitHub 00a25e1e0c Add spans to run_turn (#27107)
## 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

guinness-oaiandGitHub cc8325f181 Stop mirroring Codex user input into realtime (#27116)
## 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

jifandGitHub 4ec3b8eeea Route hosted Apps MCP through extensions (#27191)
## 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.

marksteinbrick-oaiandGitHub a71e040df5 [codex-analytics] add extensible feature thread sources (#27063)
## 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

jifandGitHub 89ac3ec27c Load selected executor skills through extensions (#27184)
## Why

CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may not have
a filesystem, while executors can expose preinstalled plugins and
skills. A thread therefore needs to select capabilities without asking
app-server or core to interpret executor-owned paths through the
orchestrator's filesystem.

The longer-term model is broader than executor skills:

- A plugin is a bundle of skills, MCP servers, connectors/apps, and
hooks.
- A plugin root can be local, executor-owned, or hosted by a backend.
- Components inside one plugin can use different access and execution
mechanisms. A skill may be read from a filesystem or through backend
tools; an HTTP MCP server can run without an executor; a stdio MCP
server or hook needs an execution environment.
- Core should carry generic extension initialization data. The extension
that owns a component should discover it, expose it to the model, and
invoke it through the appropriate runtime.

This PR establishes that architecture through one complete vertical:
selecting a root on an executor, discovering the skills beneath it,
exposing those skills to the model, and reading an explicitly invoked
`SKILL.md` through the same executor.

## Contract

`thread/start` gains an experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` field:

```json
{
  "selectedCapabilityRoots": [
    {
      "id": "deploy-plugin@1",
      "location": {
        "type": "environment",
        "environmentId": "workspace",
        "path": "/opt/codex/plugins/deploy"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

The root is intentionally not classified as a "plugin" or "skill" in the
API. It can point at a standalone skill, a directory containing several
skills, or a plugin containing skills and other components. This PR only
teaches the skills extension how to consume it; later extensions can
resolve MCP, connector, and hook components from the same selection.

The platform-supplied `id` is stable selection identity. The location
says which runtime owns the root and gives that runtime an opaque path.
App-server does not inspect or canonicalize the path.

## What changed

### Generic thread extension initialization

App-server converts selected roots into `ExtensionDataInit`. Core
carries that generic initialization value until the final thread ID is
known, then creates thread-scoped `ExtensionData` before lifecycle
contributors run.

This keeps `Session` and core independent of the capability-selection
contract. The initialization value is consumed during construction; it
is not retained as another long-lived `Session` field.

### Executor-backed skills

The skills extension now owns an `ExecutorSkillProvider` that:

- resolves the selected environment through `EnvironmentManager`
- discovers, canonicalizes, and reads skills through that environment's
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- contributes the bounded selected-skill catalog as stable developer
context
- reads an explicitly invoked skill body through the authority that
listed it
- warns when an environment or root is unavailable
- never falls back to the orchestrator filesystem for an executor-owned
root

Skill catalog and instruction fragments have hard byte bounds, which
also bound them below the 10K-token per-item context limit. If a
selected executor skill has the same name as a legacy local skill, the
executor selection owns that invocation and the local body is not
injected a second time.

Existing local and bundled skill loading remains in place. Omitting
`selectedCapabilityRoots` therefore preserves current local-only
behavior.

## Current semantics

- Only environment-owned locations are represented in this first
contract.
- Roots are resolved by the destination extension, not by app-server or
core.
- An unavailable executor or invalid root produces a warning and no
capabilities from that root; it does not trigger a local-filesystem
fallback.
- Selection applies to a newly started active thread.
- MCP servers, connectors, and hooks beneath a selected plugin root are
not activated yet.
- Selection is not yet persisted or inherited across resume, fork, or
subagent creation. Existing local capabilities continue to behave as
they do today in those flows.

## Planned vertical follow-ups

1. **Hosted HTTP MCP:** add an extension-backed HTTP MCP source that
works without an executor, then replace the special-purpose MCP plugins
loader with that implementation.
2. **Executor MCP:** register and execute stdio MCP servers through the
environment that owns the selected plugin root.
3. **Backend skills:** add a hosted skill source whose catalog and
bodies are accessed through extension tools rather than a filesystem.
4. **Connectors and hooks:** activate those components through their
owning extensions, using the same selected-root boundary and
component-specific runtime.
5. **Durable selection:** define the desired-selection lifecycle,
persist it, and make resume, fork, and subagent inheritance explicit
rather than accidental.
6. **Local convergence:** incrementally route existing local plugin,
skill, and MCP loading through the same extension model while preserving
current local behavior.

Each follow-up remains reviewable as an end-to-end capability. The
platform selects roots, generic thread extension data carries the
selection, and the owning extension resolves and operates its component.

## Verification

Coverage added for:

- app-server end-to-end discovery and explicit invocation of a skill
inside an executor-selected plugin root
- exclusive invocation when a selected executor skill collides with a
local skill name
- executor filesystem authority for discovery, canonicalization, and
reads
- thread extension initialization before lifecycle contributors run
- stable executor catalog context, explicit invocation, context
rebuilding, hidden skills, and preserved host/remote catalog behavior

Targeted protocol, core-skills, skills-extension, core lifecycle, and
app-server executor-skill tests were run during development.

jifandGitHub fae2709320 multi-agent: add path-based v2 activity tracking (#27007)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 identifies agents by canonical paths, but its tool
handlers still emitted the larger legacy collaboration begin/end events
built around nickname and role metadata. App-server, rollout-trace,
analytics, and TUI consumers therefore lacked one compact path-based
completion signal that behaved consistently across live events and
replay.

The TUI also needs a bounded `/agent` status surface for v2 agents. It
should use recent local activity for previews, refresh liveness without
loading full histories, and keep the legacy picker available when no
path-backed v2 agent is known.

## What changed

- Replace the v2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, and
`interrupt_agent` legacy lifecycle emissions with a success-only
`SubAgentActivity` event. The event records the tool call ID, occurrence
time, affected thread, canonical agent path, and `started`,
`interacted`, or `interrupted` kind.
- Expose the activity as a completion-only app-server v2
`subAgentActivity` thread item in live notifications and reconstructed
history, regenerate the protocol schemas, and count it in sub-agent tool
analytics.
- Track canonical paths from live activity and loaded-thread metadata in
the TUI, and render the activity in live and replayed transcripts.
- Make `/agent` list running path-backed agents with summaries from
bounded local event buffers. Each summary is capped at 240 graphemes,
the scan is capped at six recent items, only the last three wrapped
lines are shown, and command output is omitted. Liveness falls back to
metadata-only `thread/read` when local turn state is unavailable.
- Persist the activity as a terminal rollout-trace runtime payload and
reduce it to the corresponding spawn, send, follow-up, or close
interaction edge. `interrupt_agent` is classified as a close-edge
operation.
- Preserve the legacy picker when no path-backed v2 agent is known.

## Compatibility

App-server v2 clients that consumed `collabAgentToolCall` begin/end
pairs for these tools must handle the new completion-only
`subAgentActivity` item. Legacy v1 collaboration behavior is unchanged.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 08cb633c06 [codex] Remove remote compaction failure log (#27106)
## Why

`log_remote_compact_failure` was the only consumer of the
compact-request logging payload and most of the token-usage breakdown
fields. Once that failure log is removed, keeping the surrounding
carrier types leaves dead plumbing in the compaction path and context
manager.

## What changed

- Remove `log_remote_compact_failure`, `CompactRequestLogData`, and the
v2 wrapper that only fed that log.
- Let both remote compaction implementations return the original
compaction error directly.
- Replace `TotalTokenUsageBreakdown` with a narrow helper that returns
only the remaining value needed by compaction analytics.
- Keep `estimate_response_item_model_visible_bytes` private to the
context manager implementation.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub f3c1283411 Pair thread environment settings (#26687)
## Why

Thread cwd and environment selections are a single logical setting in
core: updating one without the other can silently desynchronize the
next-turn execution context. This change makes that relationship
explicit in the internal thread settings flow while preserving the
existing app-server public API shape.

## What changed

- Moved the cwd/environment pair through internal
`ThreadSettingsOverrides.environment_settings` instead of a top-level
internal `cwd` field.
- Kept `thread/settings/update` public params unchanged, with app-server
translating top-level `cwd` into the paired internal settings shape.
- Moved `Op::UserInput` environment overrides into thread settings so
user turns and settings updates use the same core path.
- Updated core, app-server, MCP, memories, sample, and test callsites to
construct the paired settings shape.

## Verification

- `git diff --check`
- Local test run starting after PR creation.

jifandGitHub 743f5aad38 feat: count V2 concurrency by active execution (#26969)
## Why

Multi-Agent V2 concurrency should count active non-root turns, not
resident or durable agent threads. The limit is intentionally best
effort: admission checks are synchronous, but concurrent successful
checks may overshoot slightly.

## What changed

- Keep one root-derived execution limit on the shared `AgentControl`.
- Count active V2 subagent turns with an RAII guard owned by
`RunningTask`.
- Check capacity before spawning or starting an idle agent, including
direct app-server `turn/start` submissions.
- Preserve queued delivery for agents that are already running.
- Exempt automatic idle continuations so `/goal` work is not dropped
when capacity is temporarily full.
- Keep root and V1 turns outside this limiter.

Eric TrautandGitHub 479a14cf59 [2 of 2] Finish moving goal runtime to extension (#26548)
## Stack

1. [#26547](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26547) - [1 of 2] Align
goal extension with core behavior
2. [#26548](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26548) - [2 of 2] Move
goal runtime to extension

## Why

This PR completes the switch of the goal behavior to the
extension-backed runtime and removes the old core goal implementation.

## What Changed

- Installs the goal extension for app-server `ThreadManager` sessions.
- Routes app-server thread goal `get`, `set`, and `clear` through
`GoalService`.
- Uses thread-idle lifecycle emission after goal resume and snapshot
ordering so the extension can decide whether to continue the goal.
- Forwards extension goal updates through a FIFO async app-server
notification path so backpressure does not drop them or reorder updates.
- Keeps review turns from enabling goal runtime behavior.
- Plans extension tools before dynamic tools so built-in goal tool names
keep their old precedence when goals are enabled.
- Removes the old core goal runtime, core goal tool handlers, and core
goal tool specs.
- Updates tests that were coupled to the core-owned goal runtime while
leaving the legacy `<goal_context>` compatibility path in core for old
threads.
- Removes the stale cargo-shear ignore now that `codex-goal-extension`
is used by the workspace.
- Keeps realtime event matching exhaustive after removing the old
goal-specific realtime text path.


## Validation

- Ran manual `/goal` runs in TUI. Validated time accounting matched
wall-clock time and goal lifecycle state transitions.

Ahmed IbrahimandGitHub 8d72fb6de9 [codex] Add turn profiling analytics (#26484)
## Summary

Add flat profiling fields to `codex_turn_event` so analytics can explain
where turn wall-clock time is spent without changing tool execution
behavior.

The profile reports:
- time before the first sampling request
- sampling time across all attempts and follow-ups
- overhead between sampling requests
- time blocked in the post-sampling tool drain
- time after the final sampling request
- sampling request and retry counts

## Implementation

- Extend the existing turn timing state with constant-memory phase
accounting and one RAII phase guard.
- Observe sampling and the existing post-sampling drain only at turn
orchestration boundaries.
- Keep tool runtime, tool futures, response item handling, and turn
lifecycle values unchanged.
- Add the profiling fields directly to the existing analytics turn event
without changing app-server protocol or rollout persistence.
- Use the existing turn `status` to distinguish completed, failed, and
interrupted profiles.

Exact sampling/tool overlap is intentionally omitted because measuring
tool completion accurately would require hooks in the tool execution
path.

## Validation

- Add app-server end-to-end coverage for a single-sampling turn with no
blocking tool work.
- Add app-server end-to-end coverage for `request_user_input` blocking
followed by a second sampling request.
- CI is running on the PR; tests were not executed locally per
repository guidance.

iceweasel-oaiandGitHub 82b15b65e2 [codex] Respect Windows sandbox backend in exec policy (#26307)
## Why

Windows managed filesystem permissions can now be backed by a real
Windows sandbox. `exec-policy` was still treating the managed read-only
policy shape as if there were never a sandbox backend, so benign
unmatched commands such as PowerShell directory listings could be
rejected with `blocked by policy` even when `windows.sandbox` was
enabled.

The inverse case still needs to stay conservative: when the Windows
sandbox backend is disabled, managed filesystem restrictions are only
configuration intent, not an enforced filesystem boundary. That applies
to writable-root restricted profiles too, not just read-only profiles.

## What Changed

- Thread the effective `WindowsSandboxLevel` into exec-policy approval
decisions for shell, unified exec, and intercepted shell exec paths.
- Treat managed restricted filesystem profiles as lacking sandbox
protection only on Windows when `WindowsSandboxLevel::Disabled`.
- Exclude full-disk-write profiles from that no-backend path because
they do not rely on filesystem sandbox enforcement.
- Remove the cwd-sensitive read-only heuristic and the now-stale cwd
plumbing from exec-policy approval contexts.
- Add Windows coverage for both enabled-sandbox and disabled-backend
behavior, including a writable-root managed profile.

## Validation

- Added/updated `exec_policy` coverage for managed filesystem
restrictions, full-disk-write exclusion, enabled Windows sandbox
behavior, and disabled-backend read-only/writable-root behavior.
- `just test -p codex-core exec_policy` — 100 passed, 10 leaky
- Empirical local `codex exec` probe with `--sandbox read-only -c
'windows.sandbox="unelevated"'`: PowerShell directory listing completed
successfully.
- Disabled-backend control with Windows sandbox cleared: the same
command was rejected with `blocked by policy`.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 86a1ddd028 Make turn diff tracker multi-env aware (#26433)
## Why

Turn diffs were tracked as one flat set of absolute paths. In
multi-environment turns, local and remote environments can report the
same path while representing different filesystems, so a single path key
can collapse distinct changes or attribute them to the wrong
environment.

The environment name is **NOT** included in the generated unified diff.
This can come later.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub 40c8f1a007 Require absolute cwd in thread settings (#26532)
## Why

Thread settings cwd overrides are expected to be resolved before they
enter core. Keeping this boundary as a plain `PathBuf` made it easy for
core/session code to keep fallback normalization and relative-path
resolution logic in places that should only receive an already-resolved
cwd.

This is intentionally the absolute-cwd-only slice: it does not change
environment selection stickiness or cwd-to-default-environment fallback
behavior.

## What changed

- Changes `ThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`,
`CodexThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`, and `SessionSettingsUpdate.cwd` to
use `AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Removes core-side cwd normalization/resolution from session settings
updates.
- Updates affected core/app-server test helpers and callsites to pass
existing absolute cwd values or use `abs()` helpers.

an experimental typed notification lets opted-in clients consume it
without interpreting raw Responses API events.

## What changed
- forward `response.metadata.openai_chatgpt_moderation_metadata` from
Responses API SSE and WebSocket streams as turn-scoped moderation
metadata
- emit the experimental app-server v2 `turn/moderationMetadata`
notification with `{ threadId, turnId, metadata }`
- add app-server integration coverage for the typed moderation metadata
notification

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
build_ws_client_metadata_includes_window_lineage_and_turn_metadata`
- `just test -p codex-core` (fails locally: 46 failures and 1 timeout,
primarily missing `test_stdio_server` and shell snapshot timeouts)
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
turn_moderation_metadata_emits_typed_notification_v2`
- `just test -p codex-app-server` (fails locally: 792 passed, 10 failed,
and 5 timed out; failures are in existing environment-sensitive tests,
primarily because nested macOS `sandbox-exec` is not permitted)

jifandGitHub 5f4d06ef18 Encrypt multi-agent v2 message payloads (#26210)
## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently routes agent instructions through normal tool
arguments and inter-agent context. That means the parent model can emit
plaintext task text, Codex can persist it in history/rollouts, and the
recipient can receive it as ordinary assistant-message JSON.

This changes the v2 path so agent instructions stay encrypted between
model calls: Responses encrypts the `message` argument returned by the
model, Codex forwards only that ciphertext, and Responses decrypts it
internally for the recipient model.

## What changed

- Mark the v2 `message` parameter as encrypted for `spawn_agent`,
`send_message`, and `followup_task`.
- Treat multi-agent v2 tool `message` values as ciphertext
unconditionally.
- Store v2 inter-agent task text in
`InterAgentCommunication.encrypted_content` with empty plaintext
`content`.
- Convert encrypted inter-agent communications into the Responses
`agent_message` input item before sending the child request.
- Preserve `agent_message` items across history, rollout, compaction,
telemetry, and app-server schema paths.
- Leave multi-agent v1 unchanged.

## Message shape

The model still calls the v2 tools with a `message` argument, but that
value is now ciphertext:

```json
{
  "name": "spawn_agent",
  "arguments": {
    "task_name": "worker",
    "message": "<ciphertext>"
  }
}
```

Codex stores the task as encrypted inter-agent communication:

```json
{
  "author": "/root",
  "recipient": "/root/worker",
  "content": "",
  "encrypted_content": "<ciphertext>",
  "trigger_turn": true
}
```

When Codex builds the recipient request, it forwards the ciphertext
using the new Responses input item:

```json
{
  "type": "agent_message",
  "author": "/root",
  "recipient": "/root/worker",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "encrypted_content",
      "encrypted_content": "<ciphertext>"
    }
  ]
}
```

Responses decrypts that item internally for the recipient model.

## Context impact

- Parent context no longer carries plaintext v2 agent task instructions
from these tool arguments.
- Codex rollout/history stores ciphertext for v2 agent instructions.
- Recipient requests receive an `agent_message` item instead of
assistant commentary JSON for encrypted task delivery.
- Plaintext completion/status notifications are still plaintext because
they are Codex-generated status messages, not encrypted model tool
arguments.

Michael BolinandGitHub a2f5874b7a core: derive exec policy filesystem policy from profile (#26499)
## Why

`PermissionProfile` already owns the runtime filesystem sandbox policy
through `file_system_sandbox_policy()`. Keeping a separate
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` on exec-policy fallback contexts made it
possible for callers and tests to construct split states that the
production permission model should not rely on.

## What changed

- Removed `file_system_sandbox_policy` from `UnmatchedCommandContext`,
`ExecApprovalRequest`, and the intercepted Unix exec-policy context.
- Derived filesystem sandbox policy inside unmatched-command decision
logic from `PermissionProfile::file_system_sandbox_policy()`.
- Simplified shell/unified-exec callers and tests that were only
plumbing the duplicate policy through.

## Testing

Local tests not run per request; relying on remote CI.

Ahmed IbrahimandGitHub 8ac304c299 [codex] Support model-defined reasoning efforts (#26444)
## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values

## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.

## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.

pakrym-oaiandGitHub d312a53e2a Remove response.processed websocket request (#26447)
## Why

The Responses websocket client no longer needs to send a follow-up
`response.processed` request after a turn response has already been
recorded. Keeping that extra acknowledgement path adds feature-gated
control flow and a second websocket request shape that no longer carries
useful behavior.

## What Changed

- Removed the `response.processed` websocket request type and sender.
- Removed the `responses_websocket_response_processed` feature flag and
schema entry.
- Removed turn and remote-compaction plumbing that only tracked response
IDs to send the acknowledgement.
- Removed tests that existed solely to cover the deleted feature path.

Adam Perry @ OpenAIandGitHub e64b469bbc Route AGENTS.md loading through environment filesystems (#26205)
## Why

Workspace-specific `AGENTS.md` loading needs to use the selected
environment filesystem so remote workspaces and child agents read
instructions from their actual environment instead of the host
filesystem. The app-server should report the same instruction sources
the initialized thread actually loaded, rather than independently
rescanning configuration and filesystem state.

## What changed

- Introduce `LoadedAgentsMd` to retain ordered user, project, and
internal instructions with their provenance.
- Load and canonicalize workspace `AGENTS.md` paths through the primary
`EnvironmentManager` environment, then render the loaded instructions
when constructing turn context.
- Expose cached loaded instruction sources from initialized threads and
use them for app-server start, resume, and fork responses.
- Preserve global `CODEX_HOME` loading and separator behavior while
excluding empty project files that did not supply model-visible
instructions.
- Add integration coverage for CLI injection, selected-environment
provenance and rendering, empty environment selection, and cached
sources on loaded-thread resume.

sayan-oaiandGitHub 8b1238856b core: allow excluding tool namespaces from code mode (#26320)
## Why

Research and training setups need to control which tool namespaces
appear inside code mode's nested `tools` surface without disabling those
tools entirely. This makes it possible to train against a deliberately
reduced nested-tool setup while preserving the normal direct and
deferred tool paths.

## What

- Extend `features.code_mode` to accept structured configuration while
preserving the existing boolean syntax.
- Add an exact `excluded_tool_namespaces` list under
`[features.code_mode]`:

  ```toml
  [features.code_mode]
  enabled = true
  excluded_tool_namespaces = ["mcp__codex_apps", "multi_agent_v1"]
  ```

- Filter matching canonical `ToolName` namespaces when constructing code
mode's nested router and code-mode-specific direct tool descriptions.
- Keep excluded tools registered, directly exposed in mixed code mode,
and discoverable through top-level `tool_search` when otherwise
eligible.
- Derive deferred nested-tool guidance after namespace filtering so the
`exec` description does not advertise excluded-only deferred tools.
- Preserve the boolean/table representation when materializing config
locks and update the generated config schema.

kbazziandGitHub 9e41f8ddbe [codex-analytics] emit forked thread id on initialization (#26248)
## Why
- Thread initialization analytics do not identify the source thread for
forked threads.
- The session viewer needs this lineage to construct thread trees.
- Depends on openai/openai#987854. Do not release this change before
that backend schema change is deployed.

## What Changed
- Adds optional `forked_from_thread_id` to `codex_thread_initialized`.
- Populates it from the existing thread fork lineage for app-server and
in-process subagent initialization paths.
- Keeps it null for non-forked threads.

jifandGitHub d46a98d31a Bridge host-loaded skills into the skills extension (#26172)
## Why

The skills extension needs to become the path that exposes local host
skills without losing the behavior already owned by core skill loading.
Host skill discovery is not just `$CODEX_HOME/skills`: it also includes
config layers, bundled-skill settings, plugin roots, runtime extra
roots, and the filesystem for the selected primary environment.

Rather than making the extension reload host skills and risk drifting
from that authoritative load, this PR bridges the already-loaded
per-turn skills outcome into the extension. That lets the extension
advertise host skills and inject explicit `$skill` prompts while
preserving the same roots, disabled/hidden state, rendered paths, and
environment-backed file reads that the legacy path uses.

## What Changed

- Adds `HostLoadedSkills` in `core-skills` to wrap the turn's
`SkillLoadOutcome` and read `SKILL.md` through the filesystem that
loaded that skill.
- Stores `HostLoadedSkills` in turn extension data for normal turns and
review turns, so the skills extension can consume the loaded host
catalog without reloading it.
- Adds `HostSkillProvider` under `ext/skills/src/provider/host.rs`,
mapping host-loaded skill metadata into the skills-extension
catalog/read contract.
- Registers the host provider by default from
`codex_skills_extension::install()`.
- Preserves host skill metadata such as dependencies, disabled state,
hidden-from-prompt policy, and slash-normalized display paths.
- Passes host-loaded skills through `SkillListQuery` and
`SkillReadRequest` so explicit skill invocation reads only resources
from the loaded host catalog.
- Adds integration coverage for a real legacy
`$CODEX_HOME/skills/.../SKILL.md` skill being listed and injected
through the installed extension.

## Testing

- Added `installed_extension_loads_host_skills_from_legacy_roots` in
`ext/skills/tests/skills_extension.rs`.

jifandGitHub d297616d3e Gate automatic idle turns in Plan mode (#26147)
## Why

Goal idle continuation is extension-triggered model-visible work, so it
should follow one core-owned rule for when automatic work may start. In
particular, it should not jump ahead of queued user/client work, start
while another task is active, or inject a continuation turn while the
thread is in Plan mode.

Keeping this policy in `try_start_turn_if_idle` avoids passing
`collaboration_mode` or review-specific state through
`ThreadLifecycleContributor::on_thread_idle`. Active `/review` is
covered by the same active-task gate because Review turns are not
steerable.

## What Changed

- Teach `Session::try_start_turn_if_idle` to reject automatic idle turns
in Plan mode, both before reserving an idle turn and after building the
turn context.
- Document `CodexThread::try_start_turn_if_idle` as the extension-facing
gate for automatic idle work, including Plan-mode and active Review-task
behavior.
- Add focused coverage for Plan-mode rejection and active Review-task
rejection without queuing synthetic input.

jifandGitHub 11bceb8f8b feat: catalog multi-agent v2 config (#26254)
## Why

Model metadata can now select multi-agent v2 even when a user has not
enabled `features.multi_agent_v2` in their config. Some existing configs
still set the legacy `agents.max_threads` knob for v1 multi-agent
behavior, so treating every v2 runtime as incompatible with
`agents.max_threads` would break users whose only v2 signal came from
the model catalog.

The incompatible configuration is specifically enabling
`features.multi_agent_v2` while also setting `agents.max_threads`.
Catalog-forced v2 should use the v2 concurrency setting and ignore the
legacy v1 cap instead of rejecting the config.

## What changed

- Split config validation from runtime concurrency calculation:
`effective_agent_max_threads` now just returns the effective cap for the
resolved multi-agent runtime.
- Added explicit validation for `features.multi_agent_v2` +
`agents.max_threads` at session startup.
- Preserved catalog-selected v2 behavior when `features.multi_agent_v2`
is disabled, so existing configs with `agents.max_threads` keep
starting.
- Updated model-runtime selector coverage so a catalog v2 model still
exposes v2 tools even when `agents.max_threads` is set and the config
flag is disabled.

## Validation

- `cargo check -p codex-core --lib`
- `just test -p codex-core --lib -E

Michael BolinandGitHub 52b359b249 core: stop threading SandboxPolicy through exec (#25700)
## Why

#25450 attempts a broad `SandboxPolicy` removal across several unrelated
surfaces, which makes it hard to review and still leaves new helper code
moving legacy policies around. This PR is a narrower alternative:
migrate only the exec-side Windows sandbox plumbing so the review can
focus on one production path and one compatibility boundary.

The goal is to stop threading `SandboxPolicy` through exec code without
expanding the migration into app-server, protocol, telemetry, config, or
session behavior.

## What changed

- Removed `ExecRequest::compatibility_sandbox_policy()`.
- Changed the Windows restricted-token and elevated filesystem override
helpers to accept `PermissionProfile` plus the split filesystem/network
policies instead of a `SandboxPolicy`.
- Kept the remaining legacy projection local to the writable-root
comparison that still needs to compare split policy behavior against the
legacy Windows backend model.
- Rejected restricted split filesystem policies that still grant
full-disk writes before using the Windows restricted-token backend,
preserving the previous clear-failure behavior for profiles that project
to `ExternalSandbox`.
- Updated the Windows sandbox override tests to exercise the new call
shape and cover the full-write split-profile regression.

jifandGitHub 3389fa554e skills: resolve per-turn catalogs from turn input context (#26106)
## Why

The skills extension needs the resolved turn environments to build a
real per-turn `SkillListQuery`. The previous `TurnLifecycleContributor`
hook only had a turn id, so it could only seed a placeholder query and
never carry the executor authorities that executor-scoped skill routing
will need.

Moving catalog resolution onto `TurnInputContributor` puts the skills
extension on the same turn-preparation path that already has the
environment ids and working directories for the submitted turn, while
keeping the actual prompt injection work for follow-up changes.

## What changed

- switch `ext/skills` from `TurnLifecycleContributor` to
`TurnInputContributor`
- build `executor_authorities` from `TurnInputContext.environments` and
pass them through `SkillListQuery`
- keep storing the resolved catalog in `SkillsTurnState`, but drop the
placeholder query helper that no longer matches the real data flow
- update the extension TODOs to reflect that per-turn catalog resolution
now happens in the turn-input contributor, and that prompt/context
injection still needs to move later

## Testing

- Not run locally.
