Add a warning message as a user turn to the model if the model does not
behave as expected (here, for example, if the model opens too many
`unified_exec` sessions)
This change prototypes support for Skills with the CLI. This is an
**experimental** feature for internal testing.

- Add portable history log id helper to support inode-like tracking on
Unix and creation time on Windows
- Refactor history metadata and lookup to share code paths and allow
nonzero log ids across platforms
- Add coverage for lookup stability after appends
Fixes#7333
This is a small bug fix.
This PR fixes an inconsistency in `recent_commits` where `limit == 0`
still returns 1 commit due to the use of `limit.max(1)` when
constructing the `git log -n` argument.
Expected behavior: requesting 0 commits should return an empty list.
This PR:
- returns an empty `Vec` when `limit == 0`
- adds a test for `recent_commits(limit == 0)` that fails before the
change and passes afterwards
- maintains existing behavior for `limit > 0`
This aligns behavior with API expectations and avoids downstream
consumers misinterpreting the repository as having commit history when
`limit == 0` is used to explicitly request none.
Happy to adjust if the current behavior is intentional.
Title: Improve rollout session initialization error messages
Issue: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/7283
What: add targeted mapping for rollout/session initialization errors so
users get actionable messages when Codex cannot access session files.
Why: session creation previously returned a generic internal error,
hiding permissions/FS issues and making support harder.
How:
- Added rollout::error::map_session_init_error to translate the more
common io::Error kinds into user-facing hints (permission, missing dir,
file blocking, corruption). Others are passed through directly with
`CodexErr::Fatal`.
- Reused the mapper in Codex session creation to preserve root causes
instead of returning InternalAgentDied.
Recent model updates caused the experimental "sandbox tool assessment"
to time out most of the time leaving the user without any risk
assessment or tool summary. This change explicitly sets the reasoning
effort to medium and bumps the timeout.
This change has no effect if the user hasn't enabled the
`experimental_sandbox_command_assessment` feature flag.
- The total token used returned from the api doesn't account for the
reasoning items before the assistant message
- Account for those for auto compaction
- Add the encrypted reasoning effort in the common tests utils
- Add a test to make sure it works as expected
This introduces a new feature to Codex when it operates as an MCP
_client_ where if an MCP _server_ replies that it has an entry named
`"codex/sandbox-state"` in its _server capabilities_, then Codex will
send it an MCP notification with the following structure:
```json
{
"method": "codex/sandbox-state/update",
"params": {
"sandboxPolicy": {
"type": "workspace-write",
"network-access": false,
"exclude-tmpdir-env-var": false
"exclude-slash-tmp": false
},
"codexLinuxSandboxExe": null,
"sandboxCwd": "/Users/mbolin/code/codex2"
}
}
```
or with whatever values are appropriate for the initial `sandboxPolicy`.
**NOTE:** Codex _should_ continue to send the MCP server notifications
of the same format if these things change over the lifetime of the
thread, but that isn't wired up yet.
The result is that `shell-tool-mcp` can consume these values so that
when it calls `codex_core::exec::process_exec_tool_call()` in
`codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/escalate_server.rs`, it is now sure to
call it with the correct values (whereas previously we relied on
hardcoded values).
While I would argue this is a supported use case within the MCP
protocol, the `rmcp` crate that we are using today does not support
custom notifications. As such, I had to patch it and I submitted it for
review, so hopefully it will be accepted in some form:
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/pull/556
To test out this change from end-to-end:
- I ran `cargo build` in `~/code/codex2/codex-rs/exec-server`
- I built the fork of Bash in `~/code/bash/bash`
- I added the following to my `~/.codex/config.toml`:
```toml
# Use with `codex --disable shell_tool`.
[mcp_servers.execshell]
args = ["--bash", "/Users/mbolin/code/bash/bash"]
command = "/Users/mbolin/code/codex2/codex-rs/target/debug/codex-exec-mcp-server"
```
- From `~/code/codex2/codex-rs`, I ran `just codex --disable shell_tool`
- When the TUI started up, I verified that the sandbox mode is
`workspace-write`
- I ran `/mcp` to verify that the shell tool from the MCP is there:

/>
- Then I asked it:
> what is the output of `gh issue list`
because this should be auto-approved with our existing dummy policy:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/af63e6eccc35783f1bf4dca3c61adb090efb6b8a/codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix.rs#L157-L164
And it worked:

/>
`process_exec_tool_call()` was taking `SandboxType` as a param, but in
practice, the only place it was constructed was in
`codex_message_processor.rs` where it was derived from the other
`sandbox_policy` param, so this PR inlines the logic that decides the
`SandboxType` into `process_exec_tool_call()`.

Previously, we were running into an issue where we would run the `shell`
tool call with a timeout of 10s, but it fired an elicitation asking for
user approval, the time the user took to respond to the elicitation was
counted agains the 10s timeout, so the `shell` tool call would fail with
a timeout error unless the user is very fast!
This PR addresses this issue by introducing a "stopwatch" abstraction
that is used to manage the timeout. The idea is:
- `Stopwatch::new()` is called with the _real_ timeout of the `shell`
tool call.
- `process_exec_tool_call()` is called with the `Cancellation` variant
of `ExecExpiration` because it should not manage its own timeout in this
case
- the `Stopwatch` expiration is wired up to the `cancel_rx` passed to
`process_exec_tool_call()`
- when an elicitation for the `shell` tool call is received, the
`Stopwatch` pauses
- because it is possible for multiple elicitations to arrive
concurrently, it keeps track of the number of "active pauses" and does
not resume until that counter goes down to zero
I verified that I can test the MCP server using
`@modelcontextprotocol/inspector` and specify `git status` as the
`command` with a timeout of 500ms and that the elicitation pops up and I
have all the time in the world to respond whereas previous to this PR,
that would not have been possible.
