## Why
Enterprises can already constrain approvals, sandboxing, and web search
through `requirements.toml` and MDM, but feature flags were still only
configurable as managed defaults. That meant an enterprise could suggest
feature values, but it could not actually pin them.
This change closes that gap and makes enterprise feature requirements
behave like the other constrained settings. The effective feature set
now stays consistent with enterprise requirements during config load,
when config writes are validated, and when runtime code mutates feature
flags later in the session.
It also tightens the runtime API for managed features. `ManagedFeatures`
now follows the same constraint-oriented shape as `Constrained<T>`
instead of exposing panic-prone mutation helpers, and production code
can no longer construct it through an unconstrained `From<Features>`
path.
The PR also hardens the `compact_resume_fork` integration coverage on
Windows. After the feature-management changes,
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` was
overflowing the libtest/Tokio thread stacks on Windows, so the test now
uses an explicit larger-stack harness as a pragmatic mitigation. That
may not be the ideal root-cause fix, and it merits a parallel
investigation into whether part of the async future chain should be
boxed to reduce stack pressure instead.
## What Changed
Enterprises can now pin feature values in `requirements.toml` with the
requirements-side `features` table:
```toml
[features]
personality = true
unified_exec = false
```
Only canonical feature keys are allowed in the requirements `features`
table; omitted keys remain unconstrained.
- Added a requirements-side pinned feature map to
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, threaded it through source-preserving
requirements merge and normalization in `codex-config`, and made the
TOML surface use `[features]` (while still accepting legacy
`[feature_requirements]` for compatibility).
- Exposed `featureRequirements` from `configRequirements/read`,
regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schema artifacts, and updated the
app-server README.
- Wrapped the effective feature set in `ManagedFeatures`, backed by
`ConstrainedWithSource<Features>`, and changed its API to mirror
`Constrained<T>`: `can_set(...)`, `set(...) -> ConstraintResult<()>`,
and result-returning `enable` / `disable` / `set_enabled` helpers.
- Removed the legacy-usage and bulk-map passthroughs from
`ManagedFeatures`; callers that need those behaviors now mutate a plain
`Features` value and reapply it through `set(...)`, so the constrained
wrapper remains the enforcement boundary.
- Removed the production loophole for constructing unconstrained
`ManagedFeatures`. Non-test code now creates it through the configured
feature-loading path, and `impl From<Features> for ManagedFeatures` is
restricted to `#[cfg(test)]`.
- Rejected legacy feature aliases in enterprise feature requirements,
and return a load error when a pinned combination cannot survive
dependency normalization.
- Validated config writes against enterprise feature requirements before
persisting changes, including explicit conflicting writes and
profile-specific feature states that normalize into invalid
combinations.
- Updated runtime and TUI feature-toggle paths to use the constrained
setter API and to persist or apply the effective post-constraint value
rather than the requested value.
- Updated the `core_test_support` Bazel target to include the bundled
core model-catalog fixtures in its runtime data, so helper code that
resolves `core/models.json` through runfiles works in remote Bazel test
environments.
- Renamed the core config test coverage to emphasize that effective
feature values are normalized at runtime, while conflicting persisted
config writes are rejected.
- Ran `compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` inside
an explicit 8 MiB test thread and Tokio runtime worker stack, following
the existing larger-stack integration-test pattern, to keep the Windows
`compact_resume_fork` test slice from aborting while a parallel
investigation continues into whether some of the underlying async
futures should be boxed.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core feature_requirements_ -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_requirements_toml_produces_expected_constraints -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core compact_resume_fork -- --nocapture`
- Re-ran the built `codex-core` `tests/all` binary with
`RUST_MIN_STACK=262144` for
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` to confirm
the explicit-stack harness fixes the deterministic low-stack repro.
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- This still fails locally in unrelated integration areas that expect
the `codex` / `test_stdio_server` binaries or hit existing `search_tool`
wiremock mismatches.
## Docs
`developers.openai.com/codex` should document the requirements-side
`[features]` table for enterprise and MDM-managed configuration,
including that it only accepts canonical feature keys and that
conflicting config writes are rejected.
## Summary
`PermissionProfile.network` could not be preserved when additional or
compiled permissions resolved to
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly`, because `ReadOnly` had no network_access
field. This change makes read-only + network
enabled representable directly and threads that through the protocol,
app-server v2 mirror, and permission-
merging logic.
## What changed
- Added `network_access: bool` to `SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` in the core
protocol and app-server v2 protocol.
- Kept backward compatibility by defaulting the new field to false, so
legacy read-only payloads still
deserialize unchanged.
- Updated `has_full_network_access()` and sandbox summaries to respect
read-only network access.
- Preserved PermissionProfile.network when:
- compiling skill permission profiles into sandbox policies
- normalizing additional permissions
- merging additional permissions into existing sandbox policies
- Updated the approval overlay to show network in the rendered
permission rule when requested.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures for the new v2 wire shape.
This adds a first-class app-server v2 `skills/changed` notification for
the existing skills live-reload signal.
Before this change, clients only had the legacy raw
`codex/event/skills_update_available` event. With this PR, v2 clients
can listen for a typed JSON-RPC notification instead of depending on the
legacy `codex/event/*` stream, which we want to remove soon.
## Summary
Add original-resolution support for `view_image` behind the
under-development `view_image_original_resolution` feature flag.
When the flag is enabled and the target model is `gpt-5.3-codex` or
newer, `view_image` now preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes and sends
`detail: "original"` to the Responses API instead of using the legacy
resize/compress path.
## What changed
- Added `view_image_original_resolution` as an under-development feature
flag.
- Added `ImageDetail` to the protocol models and support for serializing
`detail: "original"` on tool-returned images.
- Added `PromptImageMode::Original` to `codex-utils-image`.
- Preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes.
- Keeps legacy behavior for the resize path.
- Updated `view_image` to:
- use the shared `local_image_content_items_with_label_number(...)`
helper in both code paths
- select original-resolution mode only when:
- the feature flag is enabled, and
- the model slug parses as `gpt-5.3-codex` or newer
- Kept local user image attachments on the existing resize path; this
change is specific to `view_image`.
- Updated history/image accounting so only `detail: "original"` images
use the docs-based GPT-5 image cost calculation; legacy images still use
the old fixed estimate.
- Added JS REPL guidance, gated on the same feature flag, to prefer JPEG
at 85% quality unless lossless is required, while still allowing other
formats when explicitly requested.
- Updated tests and helper code that construct
`FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage` to carry the new `detail`
field.
## Behavior
### Feature off
- `view_image` keeps the existing resize/re-encode behavior.
- History estimation keeps the existing fixed-cost heuristic.
### Feature on + `gpt-5.3-codex+`
- `view_image` sends original-resolution images with `detail:
"original"`.
- PNG/JPEG/WebP source bytes are preserved when possible.
- History estimation uses the GPT-5 docs-based image-cost calculation
for those `detail: "original"` images.

## Summary
- add the v2 `thread/metadata/update` API, including
protocol/schema/TypeScript exports and app-server docs
- patch stored thread `gitInfo` in sqlite without resuming the thread,
with validation plus support for explicit `null` clears
- repair missing sqlite thread rows from rollout data before patching,
and make those repairs safe by inserting only when absent and updating
only git columns so newer metadata is not clobbered
- keep sqlite authoritative for mutable thread git metadata by
preserving existing sqlite git fields during reconcile/backfill and only
using rollout `SessionMeta` git fields to fill gaps
- add regression coverage for the endpoint, repair paths, concurrent
sqlite writes, clearing git fields, and rollout/backfill reconciliation
- fix the login server shutdown race so cancelling before the waiter
starts still terminates `block_until_done()` correctly
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-state
apply_rollout_items_preserves_existing_git_branch_and_fills_missing_git_fields`
- `cargo test -p codex-state

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_metadata_update`
- `cargo test`
- currently fails in existing `codex-core` grep-files tests with
`unsupported call: grep_files`:
- `suite::grep_files::grep_files_tool_collects_matches`
- `suite::grep_files::grep_files_tool_reports_empty_results`
Realized EventMsg generated types were unintentionally removed as part
of this PR: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13375
Turns out our TypeScript export pipeline relied on transitively reaching
`EventMsg`. We should still export `EventMsg` explicitly since we're
still emitting `codex/event/*` events (for now, but getting dropped soon
as well).
## Summary
This removes the old app-server v1 methods and notifications we no
longer need, while keeping the small set the main codex app client still
depends on for now.
The remaining legacy surface is:
- `initialize`
- `getConversationSummary`
- `getAuthStatus`
- `gitDiffToRemote`
- `fuzzyFileSearch`
- `fuzzyFileSearch/sessionStart`
- `fuzzyFileSearch/sessionUpdate`
- `fuzzyFileSearch/sessionStop`
And the raw `codex/event/*` notifications emitted from core. These
notifications will be removed in a followup PR.
## What changed
- removed deprecated v1 request variants from the protocol and
app-server dispatcher
- removed deprecated typed notifications: `authStatusChange`,
`loginChatGptComplete`, and `sessionConfigured`
- updated the app-server test client to use v2 flows instead of deleted
v1 flows
- deleted legacy-only app-server test suites and added focused coverage
for `getConversationSummary`
- regenerated app-server schema fixtures and updated the MCP interface
docs to match the remaining compatibility surface
## Testing
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`

### Overview
This PR adds the first piece of tracing for app-server JSON-RPC
requests.
There are two main changes:
- JSON-RPC requests can now take an optional W3C trace context at the
top level via a `trace` field (`traceparent` / `tracestate`).
- app-server now creates a dedicated request span for every inbound
JSON-RPC request in `MessageProcessor`, and uses the request-level trace
context as the parent when present.
For compatibility with existing flows, app-server still falls back to
the TRACEPARENT env var when there is no request-level traceparent.
This PR is intentionally scoped to the app-server boundary. In a
followup, we'll actually propagate trace context through the async
handoff into core execution spans like run_turn, which will make
app-server traces much more useful.
### Spans
A few details on the app-server span shape:
- each inbound request gets its own server span
- span/resource names are based on the JSON-RPC method (`initialize`,
`thread/start`, `turn/start`, etc.)
- spans record transport (stdio vs websocket), request id, connection
id, and client name/version when available
- `initialize` stores client metadata in session state so later requests
on the same connection can reuse it
This change fixes a Codex app account-state sync bug where clients could
know the user was signed in but still miss the ChatGPT subscription
tier, which could lead to incorrect upgrade messaging for paid users.
The root cause was that `account/updated` only carried `authMode` while
plan information was available separately via `account/read` and
rate-limit snapshots, so this update adds `planType` to
`account/updated`, populates it consistently across login and refresh
paths.
Replay pending client requests after `thread/resume` and emit resolved
notifications when those requests clear so approval/input UI state stays
in sync after reconnects and across subscribed clients.
Affected RPCs:
- `item/commandExecution/requestApproval`
- `item/fileChange/requestApproval`
- `item/tool/requestUserInput`
Motivation:
- Resumed clients need to see pending approval/input requests that were
already outstanding before the reconnect.
- Clients also need an explicit signal when a pending request resolves
or is cleared so stale UI can be removed on turn start, completion, or
interruption.
Implementation notes:
- Use pending client requests from `OutgoingMessageSender` in order to
replay them after `thread/resume` attaches the connection, using
original request ids.
- Emit `serverRequest/resolved` when pending requests are answered
or cleared by lifecycle cleanup.
- Update the app-server protocol schema, generated TypeScript bindings,
and README docs for the replay/resolution flow.
High-level test plan:
- Added automated coverage for replaying pending command execution and
file change approval requests on `thread/resume`.
- Added automated coverage for resolved notifications in command
approval, file change approval, request_user_input, turn start, and turn
interrupt flows.
- Verified schema/docs updates in the relevant protocol and app-server
tests.
Manual testing:
- Tested reconnect/resume with multiple connections.
- Confirmed state stayed in sync between connections.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` should describe filesystem roots as absolute paths
at the type level. Using `PathBuf` in `FileSystemPermissions` made the
shared type too permissive and blurred together three different
deserialization cases:
- skill metadata in `agents/openai.yaml`, where relative paths should
resolve against the skill directory
- app-server API payloads, where callers should have to send absolute
paths
- local tool-call payloads for commands like `shell_command` and
`exec_command`, where `additional_permissions.file_system` may
legitimately be relative to the command `workdir`
This change tightens the shared model without regressing the existing
local command flow.
## What Changed
- changed `protocol::models::FileSystemPermissions` and the app-server
`AdditionalFileSystemPermissions` mirror to use `AbsolutePathBuf`
- wrapped skill metadata deserialization in `AbsolutePathBufGuard`, so
relative permission roots in `agents/openai.yaml` resolve against the
containing skill directory
- kept app-server/API deserialization strict, so relative
`additionalPermissions.fileSystem.*` paths are rejected at the boundary
- restored cwd/workdir-relative deserialization for local tool-call
payloads by parsing `shell`, `shell_command`, and `exec_command`
arguments under an `AbsolutePathBufGuard` rooted at the resolved command
working directory
- simplified runtime additional-permission normalization so it only
canonicalizes and deduplicates absolute roots instead of trying to
recover relative ones later
- updated the app-server schema fixtures, `app-server/README.md`, and
the affected transport/TUI tests to match the final behavior
- replace show_nux with structured availability_nux model metadata
- expose availability NUX data through the app-server model API
- update shared fixtures and tests for the new field
## Summary
This changes `custom_tool_call_output` to use the same output payload
shape as `function_call_output`, so freeform tools can return either
plain text or structured content items.
The main goal is to let `js_repl` return image content from nested
`view_image` calls in its own `custom_tool_call_output`, instead of
relying on a separate injected message.
## What changed
- Changed `custom_tool_call_output.output` from `string` to
`FunctionCallOutputPayload`
- Updated freeform tool plumbing to preserve structured output bodies
- Updated `js_repl` to aggregate nested tool content items and attach
them to the outer `js_repl` result
- Removed the old `js_repl` special case that injected `view_image`
results as a separate pending user image message
- Updated normalization/history/truncation paths to handle multimodal
`custom_tool_call_output`
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema artifacts
## Behavior
Direct `view_image` calls still return a `function_call_output` with
image content.
When `view_image` is called inside `js_repl`, the outer `js_repl`
`custom_tool_call_output` now carries:
- an `input_text` item if the JS produced text output
- one or more `input_image` items from nested tool results
So the nested image result now stays inside the `js_repl` tool output
instead of being injected as a separate message.
## Compatibility
This is intended to be backward-compatible for resumed conversations.
Older histories that stored `custom_tool_call_output.output` as a plain
string still deserialize correctly, and older histories that used the
previous injected-image-message flow also continue to resume.
Added regression coverage for resuming a pre-change rollout containing:
- string-valued `custom_tool_call_output`
- legacy injected image message history
#### [git stack](https://github.com/magus/git-stack-cli)
- 👉 `1` https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12948
Currently there is no bound on the length of a user message submitted in
the TUI or through the app server interface. That means users can paste
many megabytes of text, which can lead to bad performance, hangs, and
crashes. In extreme cases, it can lead to a [kernel
panic](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12323).
This PR limits the length of a user input to 2**20 (about 1M)
characters. This value was chosen because it fills the entire context
window on the latest models, so accepting longer inputs wouldn't make
sense anyway.
Summary
- add a shared `MAX_USER_INPUT_TEXT_CHARS` constant in codex-protocol
and surface it in TUI and app server code
- block oversized submissions in the TUI submit flow and emit error
history cells when validation fails
- reject heavy app-server requests with JSON-RPC `-32602` and structured
`input_too_large` data, plus document the behavior
Testing
- ran the IDE extension with this change and verified that when I
attempt to paste a user message that's several MB long, it correctly
reports an error instead of crashing or making my computer hot.
Command-approval clients currently infer which choices to show from
side-channel fields like `networkApprovalContext`,
`proposedExecpolicyAmendment`, and `additionalPermissions`. That makes
the request shape harder to evolve, and it forces each client to
replicate the server's heuristics instead of receiving the exact
decision list for the prompt.
This PR introduces a mapping between `CommandExecutionApprovalDecision`
and `codex_protocol::protocol::ReviewDecision`:
```rust
impl From<CoreReviewDecision> for CommandExecutionApprovalDecision {
fn from(value: CoreReviewDecision) -> Self {
match value {
CoreReviewDecision::Approved => Self::Accept,
CoreReviewDecision::ApprovedExecpolicyAmendment {
proposed_execpolicy_amendment,
} => Self::AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment {
execpolicy_amendment: proposed_execpolicy_amendment.into(),
},
CoreReviewDecision::ApprovedForSession => Self::AcceptForSession,
CoreReviewDecision::NetworkPolicyAmendment {
network_policy_amendment,
} => Self::ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment {
network_policy_amendment: network_policy_amendment.into(),
},
CoreReviewDecision::Abort => Self::Cancel,
CoreReviewDecision::Denied => Self::Decline,
}
}
}
```
And updates `CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams` to have a new field:
```rust
available_decisions: Option<Vec<CommandExecutionApprovalDecision>>
```
when, if specified, should make it easier for clients to display an
appropriate list of options in the UI.
This makes it possible for `CoreShellActionProvider::prompt()` in
`unix_escalation.rs` to specify the `Vec<ReviewDecision>` directly,
adding support for `ApprovedForSession` when approving a skill script,
which was previously missing in the TUI.
Note this results in a significant change to `exec_options()` in
`approval_overlay.rs`, as the displayed options are now derived from
`available_decisions: &[ReviewDecision]`.
## What Changed
- Add `available_decisions` to
[`ExecApprovalRequestEvent`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/de00e932dd9801de0a4faac0519162099753f331/codex-rs/protocol/src/approvals.rs#L111-L175),
including helpers to derive the legacy default choices when older
senders omit the field.
- Map `codex_protocol::protocol::ReviewDecision` to app-server
`CommandExecutionApprovalDecision` and expose the ordered list as
experimental `availableDecisions` in
[`CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/de00e932dd9801de0a4faac0519162099753f331/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs#L3798-L3807).
- Thread optional `available_decisions` through the core approval path
so Unix shell escalation can explicitly request `ApprovedForSession` for
session-scoped approvals instead of relying on client heuristics.
[`unix_escalation.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/de00e932dd9801de0a4faac0519162099753f331/codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs#L194-L214)
- Update the TUI approval overlay to build its buttons from the ordered
decision list, while preserving the legacy fallback when
`available_decisions` is missing.
- Update the app-server README, test client output, and generated schema
artifacts to document and surface the new field.
## Testing
- Add `approval_overlay.rs` coverage for explicit decision lists,
including the generic `ApprovedForSession` path and network approval
options.
- Update `chatwidget/tests.rs` and app-server protocol tests to populate
the new optional field and keep older event shapes working.
## Developers Docs
- If we document `item/commandExecution/requestApproval` on
[developers.openai.com/codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex), add
experimental `availableDecisions` as the preferred source of approval
choices and note that older servers may omit it.
This reverts commit https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12633. We no
longer need this PR, because we favor sending normal exec command
approval server request with `additional_permissions` of skill
permissions instead
## Summary
- allow `request_user_input` in Default collaboration mode as well as
Plan
- update the Default-mode instructions to prefer assumptions first and
use `request_user_input` only when a question is unavoidable
- update request_user_input and app-server tests to match the new
Default-mode behavior
- refactor collaboration-mode availability plumbing into
`CollaborationModesConfig` for future mode-related flags
## Codex author
`codex resume 019c9124-ed28-7c13-96c6-b916b1c97d49`
Adds a new v2 app-server API for a client to be able to unsubscribe to a
thread:
- New RPC method: `thread/unsubscribe`
- New server notification: `thread/closed`
Today clients can start/resume/archive threads, but there wasn’t a way
to explicitly unload a live thread from memory without archiving it.
With `thread/unsubscribe`, a client can indicate it is no longer
actively working with a live Thread. If this is the only client
subscribed to that given thread, the thread will be automatically closed
by app-server, at which point the server will send `thread/closed` and
`thread/status/changed` with `status: notLoaded` notifications.
This gives clients a way to prevent long-running app-server processes
from accumulating too many thread (and related) objects in memory.
Closed threads will also be removed from `thread/loaded/list`.
Previously, clients would call `thread/start` with dynamic_tools set,
and when a model invokes a dynamic tool, it would just make the
server->client `item/tool/call` request and wait for the client's
response to complete the tool call. This works, but it doesn't have an
`item/started` or `item/completed` event.
Now we are doing this:
- [new] emit `item/started` with `DynamicToolCall` populated with the
call arguments
- send an `item/tool/call` server request
- [new] once the client responds, emit `item/completed` with
`DynamicToolCall` populated with the response.
Also, with `persistExtendedHistory: true`, dynamic tool calls are now
reconstructable in `thread/read` and `thread/resume` as
`ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall`.
Add experimental `thread/realtime/*` v2 requests and notifications, then
route app-server realtime events through that thread-scoped surface with
integration coverage.

Add service name to the app-server so that the app can use it's own
service name
This is on thread level because later we might plan the app-server to
become a singleton on the computer
This PR replaces the old `additional_permissions.fs_read/fs_write` shape
with a shared `PermissionProfile`
model and wires it through the command approval, sandboxing, protocol,
and TUI layers. The schema is adopted from the
`SkillManifestPermissions`, which is also refactored to use this unified
struct. This helps us easily expose permission profiles in app
server/core as a follow-up.
## Summary
Introduces the initial implementation of Feature::RequestPermissions.
RequestPermissions allows the model to request that a command be run
inside the sandbox, with additional permissions, like writing to a
specific folder. Eventually this will include other rules as well, and
the ability to persist these permissions, but this PR is already quite
large - let's get the core flow working and go from there!

## Summary
Persist network approval allow/deny decisions as `network_rule(...)`
entries in execpolicy (not proxy config)
It adds `network_rule` parsing + append support in `codex-execpolicy`,
including `decision="prompt"` (parse-only; not compiled into proxy
allow/deny lists)
- compile execpolicy network rules into proxy allow/deny lists and
update the live proxy state on approval
- preserve requirements execpolicy `network_rule(...)` entries when
merging with file-based execpolicy
- reject broad wildcard hosts (for example `*`) for persisted
`network_rule(...)`
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`
## Why
The generated unnamespaced JSON envelope schemas (`ClientRequest` and
`ServerNotification`) still contained both v1 and v2 variants, which
pulled legacy v1/core types and v2 types into the same `definitions`
graph. That caused `schemars` to produce numeric suffix names (for
example `AskForApproval2`, `ByteRange2`, `MessagePhase2`).
This PR moves JSON codegen toward v2-only output while preserving the
unnamespaced envelope artifacts, and avoids reintroducing numeric-suffix
tolerance by removing the v1/internal-only variants that caused the
collisions in those envelope schemas.
## What Changed
- In `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`, JSON generation now
excludes v1 schema artifacts (`v1/*`) while continuing to emit
unnamespaced/root JSON schemas and the JSON bundle.
- Added a narrow JSON v1 allowlist (`JSON_V1_ALLOWLIST`) so
`InitializeParams` and `InitializeResponse` are still emitted.
- Added JSON-only post-processing for the mixed envelope schemas before
collision checks run:
- `ClientRequest`: strips v1 request variants from the generated `oneOf`
using the temporary `V1_CLIENT_REQUEST_METHODS` list
- `ServerNotification`: strips v1 notifications plus the internal-only
`rawResponseItem/completed` notification using the temporary
`EXCLUDED_SERVER_NOTIFICATION_METHODS_FOR_JSON` list
- Added a temporary local-definition pruning pass for those envelope
schemas so now-unreferenced v1/core definitions are removed from
`definitions` after method filtering.
- Updated the variant-title naming heuristic for single-property literal
object variants to use the literal value (when available), avoiding
collisions like multiple `state`-only variants all deriving the same
title.
- Collision handling remains fail-fast (no numeric suffix fallback map
in this PR path).

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10455 introduced the `phase` field,
and then https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12072 introduced a
`MessagePhase` type in `v2.rs` that paralleled the `MessagePhase` type
in `codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`.
The app server protocol prefers `camelCase` while the Responses API uses
`snake_case`, so this meant we had two versions of `MessagePhase` with
different serialization rules. When the app server protocol refers to
types from the Responses API, we use the wire format of the the
Responses API even though it is inconsistent with the app server API.
This PR deletes `MessagePhase` from `v2.rs` and consolidates on the
Responses API version to eliminate confusion.
- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
Exposes through the app server updated names set for a thread. This
enables other surfaces to use the core as the source of truth for thread
naming. `threadName` is gathered using the helper functions used to
interact with `session_index.jsonl`, and is hydrated in:
- `thread/list`
- `thread/read`
- `thread/resume`
- `thread/unarchive`
- `thread/rollback`
We don't do this for `thread/start` and `thread/fork`.
## Why
JSON schema codegen was silently resolving naming collisions by
appending numeric suffixes (for example `...2`, `...3`). That makes the
generated schema names unstable: removing an earlier colliding type can
cause a later type to be renumbered, which is a breaking change for
consumers that referenced the old generated name.
This PR makes those collisions explicit and reviewable.
Though note that once we remove `v1` from the codegen, we will no longer
support naming collisions. Or rather, naming collisions will have to be
handled explicitly rather than the numeric suffix approach.
## What Changed
- In `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`, replaced implicit
numeric suffix collision handling for generated variant titles with
explicit special-case maps.
- Added a panic when a collision occurs without an entry in the map, so
new collisions fail loudly instead of silently renaming generated schema
types.
- Added the currently required special cases so existing generated names
remain stable.
- Extended the same approach to numbered `definitions` / `$defs`
collisions (for example `MessagePhase2`-style names) so those are also
explicitly tracked.
## Verification
- Ran targeted generator-path test:
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
generate_json_filters_experimental_fields_and_methods -- --nocapture`

## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

## Summary
Simplify network approvals by removing per-attempt proxy correlation and
moving to session-level approval dedupe keyed by (host, protocol, port).
Instead of encoding attempt IDs into proxy credentials/URLs, we now
treat approvals as a destination policy decision.
- Concurrent calls to the same destination share one approval prompt.
- Different destinations (or same host on different ports) get separate
prompts.
- Allow once approves the current queued request group only.
- Allow for session caches that (host, protocol, port) and auto-allows
future matching requests.
- Never policy continues to deny without prompting.
Example:
- 3 calls:
- a.com (line 443)
- b.com (line 443)
- a.com (line 443)
=> 2 prompts total (a, b), second a waits on the first decision.
- a.com:80 is treated separately from a.com line 443
## Testing
- `just fmt` (in `codex-rs`)
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::network_approval::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (unit tests pass; existing
integration-suite failures remain in this environment)
thread/resume response includes latest turn with all items, in band so
no events are stale or lost
Testing
- e2e tested using app-server-test-client using flow described in
"Testing Thread Rejoin Behavior" in
codex-rs/app-server-test-client/README.md
- e2e tested in codex desktop by reconnecting to a running turn
