## Why
PR #21396 merged after #17141 removed the old
`ConfigLayerStack::get_user_layer()` API. The new plugin CLI call sites
still used that stale API, which caused `main` to fail compilation.
## What Changed
- update `codex plugin marketplace list` to read configured marketplaces
through `get_active_user_layer()`
- update the plugin snapshot validation helper to use
`get_active_user_layer()`
This preserves the intended active writable user-layer behavior from the
profile-aware config API while fixing the stale call sites.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Plugin CLI installs should behave more like `apt-get install`:
configured marketplaces are the only install sources, the local
marketplace snapshot is the package index used at install time, and
`plugins/cache` is only a cache of already-downloaded plugin bytes.
That distinction matters once marketplaces and plugins have auth or
availability state. A repo-local marketplace manifest or leftover cached
plugin artifact should not silently become an install source unless the
marketplace was explicitly configured and its readable snapshot still
authorizes the plugin.
## What Changed
- add CLI commands to list configured marketplaces and add, list, or
remove marketplace plugins
- accept stable `plugin@marketplace` ids for add/remove while preserving
the explicit `--marketplace` form
- restrict `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` to configured
marketplaces instead of also discovering current-working-directory
marketplace roots
- fail `codex plugin add` and `codex plugin list` when a configured
marketplace snapshot is missing or malformed instead of treating it as
an empty source or a generic plugin miss
- preserve marketplace snapshot semantics: a configured local/Git
marketplace snapshot can authorize installs without consulting the
original upstream source
- allow `plugins/cache` reuse only after configured marketplace
resolution succeeds
- keep removal resilient after marketplace deletion or drift and ignore
malformed marketplace config entries in listing

## Public Semantics
- `codex plugin add <plugin>@<marketplace>` succeeds only when
`<marketplace>` is configured and its local marketplace snapshot
contains `<plugin>`
- repo-local marketplaces are not install sources until the user runs
`codex plugin marketplace add ...`
- configured marketplace snapshots must be readable; missing or
malformed snapshots fail the CLI operation rather than silently falling
through to cache or empty results
- cached plugin artifacts can satisfy reinstall only when the configured
marketplace snapshot still authorizes that plugin
- cached plugin artifacts alone never make a plugin installable
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test plugin_cli`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-cli --tests -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `git diff --check`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
- Updates generated CLI help for plugin marketplace commands to show the
full `codex plugin marketplace ...` namespace.
- Adds a regression test covering the marketplace command and its `add`,
`upgrade`, and `remove` help pages.
## Root Cause
The marketplace parser already lived under `codex plugin marketplace`,
but Clap generated usage text from the child parser's standalone command
name. That made help output show stale `codex marketplace ...`
instructions even though the top-level `codex marketplace` command no
longer parses.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `./target/debug/codex plugin marketplace --help`
## Summary
Move the marketplace remove implementation into shared core logic so
both the CLI command and follow-up app-server RPC can reuse the same
behavior.
This change:
- adds a shared `codex_core::plugins::remove_marketplace(...)` flow
- moves validation, config removal, and installed-root deletion out of
the CLI
- keeps the CLI as a thin wrapper over the shared implementation
- adds focused core coverage for the shared remove path
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- focused local coverage for the shared remove path
- heavier follow-up validation deferred to stacked PR CI
## Summary
- Add best-effort auto-upgrade for user-configured Git marketplaces
recorded in `config.toml`.
- Track the last activated Git revision with `last_revision` so
unchanged marketplace sources skip clone work.
- Trigger the upgrade from plugin startup and `plugin/list`, while
preserving existing fail-open plugin behavior with warning logs rather
than new user-visible errors.
## Details
- Remote configured marketplaces use `git ls-remote` to compare the
source/ref against the recorded revision.
- Upgrades clone into a staging directory, validate that
`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` exists and that the manifest name
matches the configured marketplace key, then atomically activate the new
root.
- Local `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` marketplaces remain live
filesystem state and are not auto-pulled.
- Existing non-curated plugin cache refresh is kicked after successful
marketplace root upgrades.
## Validation
- `just write-config-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_upgrade`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
Did not run the complete `cargo test` suite because the repo
instructions require asking before a full core workspace run.
## Summary
- Port marketplace source support into the shared core marketplace-add
flow
- Support local marketplace directory sources
- Support direct `marketplace.json` URL sources
- Persist the new source types in config/schema and cover them in CLI
and app-server tests
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_add`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli marketplace_add`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server marketplace_add`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
## Context
Current `main` moved marketplace-add behavior into shared core code and
still assumed only git-backed sources. This change keeps that structure
but restores support for local directories and direct manifest URLs in
the shared path.
## Summary
Move `codex marketplace add` onto a shared core implementation so the
CLI and app-server path can use one source of truth.
This change:
- adds shared marketplace-add orchestration in `codex-core`
- switches the CLI command to call that shared implementation
- removes duplicated CLI-only marketplace add helpers
- preserves focused parser and add-path coverage while moving the shared
behavior into core tests
## Why
The new `marketplace/add` RPC should reuse the same underlying
marketplace-add flow as the CLI. This refactor lands that consolidation
first so the follow-up app-server PR can be mostly protocol and handler
wiring.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_add`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli marketplace_cmd`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
- `just fmt`
Added a new top-level `codex marketplace add` command for installing
plugin marketplaces into Codex’s local marketplace cache.
This change adds source parsing for local directories, GitHub shorthand,
and git URLs, supports optional `--ref` and git-only `--sparse` checkout
paths, stages the source in a temp directory, validates the marketplace
manifest, and installs it under
`$CODEX_HOME/marketplaces/<marketplace-name>`
Included tests cover local install behavior in the CLI and marketplace
discovery from installed roots in core. Scoped formatting and fix passes
were run, and targeted CLI/core tests passed.
