• app-server: drop legacy profile config surface (#24067)

  ## Why
  
  Legacy `[profiles.<name>]` config tables and the legacy `profile`
  selector are being retired in favor of profile files selected with
  `--profile <name>`. After #23886 removed the CLI-side legacy profile
  plumbing, the app-server config surface still exposed those fields and
  still carried conversion code for the old protocol shape.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Remove `profile`, `profiles`, and `ProfileV2` from the app-server
  config protocol/schema output so `config/read` no longer returns legacy
  profile config.
  - Drop the old v1 `UserSavedConfig` profile conversion path from
  `config`.
  - Reject new app-server config writes under `profiles.*` with the same
  migration direction used for `profile`, while still allowing callers to
  clear existing legacy profile tables.
  - Refresh app-server config coverage and the experimental API README
  example around the remaining `Config` nesting path.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added config-manager coverage that `config/read` omits legacy profile
  config, `profiles.*` writes are rejected, and existing legacy profile
  tables can still be cleared.
  - Updated the v2 config RPC test to cover the rejected `profiles.*`
  batch-write path.

• [codex] Support multiple forced ChatGPT workspaces (#18161)

  ## Summary
  
  This change lets `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` accept multiple workspace
  IDs instead of a single value.
  
  It keeps the existing config key name, adds backward-compatible parsing
  for a single string in `config.toml`, and normalizes the setting into an
  allowed workspace list across login enforcement, app-server config
  surfaces, and local ChatGPT auth helpers.
  
  ## Why
  
  Workspace-restricted deployments may need to allow more than one ChatGPT
  workspace without dropping the guardrail entirely.
  
  ## Server-side impact
  
  Codex's local server and app-server protocol needed changes because they
  previously assumed a single workspace ID. The local login flow now
  matches the auth backend interface by sending the allowed workspace list
  as a single comma-separated `allowed_workspace_id` query parameter.
  
  ## Validation
  
  This was tested with:
  
  - A single workspace config
  - With multi-workspace configs
  - With multiple workspaces in the config
  - The user only being a part of a subset of them
  
  All were successful.
  
  Automated coverage:
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-login`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui local_chatgpt_auth`
  - `cargo test --locked -p codex-app-server
  login_account_chatgpt_includes_forced_workspace_allowlist_query_param`

• [codex] request desktop attestation from app (#20619)

  ## Summary
  
  TL;DR: teaches `codex-rs` / app-server to request a desktop-provided
  attestation token and attach it as `x-oai-attestation` on the scoped
  ChatGPT Codex request paths.
  
  ![DeviceCheck attestation
  interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/codex/dev/jm/devicecheck-diagram-assets/pr-assets/devicecheck-attestation-interface.png)
  
  ## Details
  
  This PR teaches the Codex app-server runtime how to request and attach
  an attestation token. It does not generate DeviceCheck tokens directly;
  instead, it relies on the connected desktop app to advertise that it can
  generate attestation and then asks that app for a fresh header value
  when needed.
  
  The flow is:
  
  1. The Codex desktop app connects to app-server.
  2. During `initialize`, the app can advertise that it supports
  `requestAttestation`.
  3. Before app-server calls selected ChatGPT Codex endpoints, it sends
  the internal server request `attestation/generate` to the app.
  4. app-server receives a pre-encoded header value back.
  5. app-server forwards that value as `x-oai-attestation` on the scoped
  outbound requests.
  
  The code in this repo is mostly protocol and runtime plumbing: it adds
  the app-server request/response shape, introduces an attestation
  provider in core, wires that provider into Responses / compaction /
  realtime setup paths, and covers the intended scoping with tests. The
  signed macOS DeviceCheck generation remains owned by the desktop app PR.

  First validated the signed desktop app boundary directly: launched a
  packaged signed `Codex.app`, sent `attestation/generate`, decoded the
  returned `v1.` attestation header, and validated the extracted
  DeviceCheck token with `personal/jm/verify_devicecheck_token.py` using
  bundle ID `com.openai.codex`. Apple returned `status_code: 200` and
  `is_ok: true`.
  
  Then ran the fuller app + app-server flow. The packaged `Codex.app`
  launched a current-branch app-server via `CODEX_CLI_PATH`, and a local
  MITM proxy intercepted outbound `chatgpt.com` traffic. The app-server
  requested `attestation/generate` from the real Electron app process, and
  the intercepted `/backend-api/codex/responses` traffic included
  `x-oai-attestation` on both routes:
  
  ```text
  GET  /backend-api/codex/responses  Upgrade: websocket  x-oai-attestation: present
  POST /backend-api/codex/responses  Upgrade: none       x-oai-attestation: present
  ```
  
  The captured header decoded to a DeviceCheck token that also validated
  with Apple for `com.openai.codex` (`status_code: 200`, `is_ok: true`,
  team `2DC432GLL2`).

• chore(app-server): delete unused rpc methods from v1.rs (#14394)

  ## Description
  
  This PR trims `app-server-protocol`'s v1 surface down to the small set
  of legacy types we still actually use.
  
  Unfortunately, we can't delete all of them yet because:
  - a few one-off v1 RPCs are still used by the Codex app
  - a few of these app-server-protocol v1 types are actually imported by
  core crates
  
  This change deletes that unused RPC surface, keeps the remaining
  compatibility types in place, and makes the crate root re-export only
  the v1 structs that downstream crates still depend on.
  
  ## Why
  
  The main goal here is to make the legacy protocol surface match reality.
  Leaving a large pile of dead v1 structs in place makes it harder to tell
  which compatibility paths are still intentional, and it keeps old
  schema/types around even though nothing should be building against them
  anymore.
  
  This also gives us a cleaner boundary for future cleanup. Instead of
  re-exporting all of `protocol::v1::*`, the crate now explicitly exposes
  only the v1 types that are still live, which makes it much easier to see
  what remains and delete more safely later.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Deleted the unused v1 RPC/request/response structs from
  `app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs`.
  - Kept the small set of v1 compatibility types that are still live,
  including:
    - `initialize`
    - `getConversationSummary`
    - `getAuthStatus`
    - `gitDiffToRemote`
    - legacy approval payloads
    - config-related structs still used by downstream crates
  - Replaced the blanket `pub use protocol::v1::*` export in
  `app-server-protocol/src/lib.rs` with an explicit list of the remaining
  supported v1 types.
  - Regenerated the schema/type artifacts, which also updated the
  `InitializeCapabilities` opt-out example to use `thread/started` instead
  of the old `codex/event/session_configured` example.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  
  ## Follow-up
  
  The next cleanup is to keep shrinking the remaining v1 compatibility
  surface as callers migrate off it. Once the remaining consumers stop
  importing these legacy types, we should be able to remove more of the v1
  module and eventually stop exporting it from the crate root entirely.

• chore(app-server): stop emitting codex/event/ notifications (#14392)

  ## Description
  
  This PR stops emitting legacy `codex/event/*` notifications from the
  public app-server transports.
  
  It's been a long time coming! app-server was still producing a raw
  notification stream from core, alongside the typed app-server
  notifications and server requests, for compatibility reasons. Now,
  external clients should no longer be depending on those legacy
  notifications, so this change removes them from the stdio and websocket
  contract and updates the surrounding docs, examples, and tests to match.
  
  ### Caveat
  I left the "in-process" version of app-server alone for now, since
  `codex exec` was recently based on top of app-server via this in-process
  form here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14005
  
  Seems like `codex exec` still consumes some legacy notifications
  internally, so this branch only removes `codex/event/*` from app-server
  over stdio and websockets.
  
  ## Follow-up
  
  Once `codex exec` is fully migrated off `codex/event/*` notifications,
  we'll be able to stop emitting them entirely entirely instead of just
  filtering it at the external transport boundary.

• Add guardian approval MVP (#13692)

  ## Summary
  - add the guardian reviewer flow for `on-request` approvals in command,
  patch, sandbox-retry, and managed-network approval paths
  - keep guardian behind `features.guardian_approval` instead of exposing
  a public `approval_policy = guardian` mode
  - route ordinary `OnRequest` approvals to the guardian subagent when the
  feature is enabled, without changing the public approval-mode surface
  
  ## Public model
  - public approval modes stay unchanged
  - guardian is enabled via `features.guardian_approval`
  - when that feature is on, `approval_policy = on-request` keeps the same
  approval boundaries but sends those approval requests to the guardian
  reviewer instead of the user
  - `/experimental` only persists the feature flag; it does not rewrite
  `approval_policy`
  - CLI and app-server no longer expose a separate `guardian` approval
  mode in this PR
  
  ## Guardian reviewer
  - the reviewer runs as a normal subagent and reuses the existing
  subagent/thread machinery
  - it is locked to a read-only sandbox and `approval_policy = never`
  - it does not inherit user/project exec-policy rules
  - it prefers `gpt-5.4` when the current provider exposes it, otherwise
  falls back to the parent turn's active model
  - it fail-closes on timeout, startup failure, malformed output, or any
  other review error
  - it currently auto-approves only when `risk_score < 80`
  
  ## Review context and policy
  - guardian mirrors `OnRequest` approval semantics rather than
  introducing a separate approval policy
  - explicit `require_escalated` requests follow the same approval surface
  as `OnRequest`; the difference is only who reviews them
  - managed-network allowlist misses that enter the approval flow are also
  reviewed by guardian
  - the review prompt includes bounded recent transcript history plus
  recent tool call/result evidence
  - transcript entries and planned-action strings are truncated with
  explicit `<guardian_truncated ... />` markers so large payloads stay
  bounded
  - apply-patch reviews include the full patch content (without
  duplicating the structured `changes` payload)
  - the guardian request layout is snapshot-tested using the same
  model-visible Responses request formatter used elsewhere in core
  
  ## Guardian network behavior
  - the guardian subagent inherits the parent session's managed-network
  allowlist when one exists, so it can use the same approved network
  surface while reviewing
  - exact session-scoped network approvals are copied into the guardian
  session with protocol/port scope preserved
  - those copied approvals are now seeded before the guardian's first turn
  is submitted, so inherited approvals are available during any immediate
  review-time checks
  
  ## Out of scope / follow-ups
  - the sandbox-permission validation split was pulled into a separate PR
  and is not part of this diff
  - a future follow-up can enable `serde_json` preserve-order in
  `codex-core` and then simplify the guardian action rendering further

• chore(app-server): delete v1 RPC methods and notifications (#13375)

  ## 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`

• app-server service tier plumbing (plus some cleanup) (#13334)

  followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13212 to expose fast
  tier controls to app server
  (majority of this PR is generated schema jsons - actual code is +69 /

  - thread service tier through the app-server message processor and core
  thread config snapshots
  - allow runtime config overrides to carry service tier for app-server
  callers
  
  cleanup:
  - Removing useless "legacy" code supporting "standard" - we moved to
  None | "fast", so "standard" is not needed.

• Enforce user input length cap (#12823)

  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.

• chore: remove codex-core public protocol/shell re-exports (#12432)

  ## 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`

• feat(core): plumb distinct approval ids for command approvals (#12051)

  zsh fork PR stack:
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12051 👈 
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052
  
  With upcoming support for a fork of zsh that allows us to intercept
  `execve` and run execpolicy checks for each subcommand as part of a
  `CommandExecution`, it will be possible for there to be multiple
  approval requests for a shell command like `/path/to/zsh -lc 'git status
  && rg \"TODO\" src && make test'`.
  
  To support that, this PR introduces a new `approval_id` field across
  core, protocol, and app-server so that we can associate approvals
  properly for subcommands.

• feat: experimental flags (#10231)

  ## Problem being solved
  - We need a single, reliable way to mark app-server API surface as
  experimental so that:
    1. the runtime can reject experimental usage unless the client opts in
  2. generated TS/JSON schemas can exclude experimental methods/fields for
  stable clients.
  
  Right now that’s easy to drift or miss when done ad-hoc.
  
  ## How to declare experimental methods and fields
  - **Experimental method**: add `#[experimental("method/name")]` to the
  `ClientRequest` variant in `client_request_definitions!`.
  - **Experimental field**: on the params struct, derive `ExperimentalApi`
  and annotate the field with `#[experimental("method/name.field")]` + set
  `inspect_params: true` for the method variant so
  `ClientRequest::experimental_reason()` inspects params for experimental
  fields.
  
  ## How the macro solves it
  - The new derive macro lives in
  `codex-rs/codex-experimental-api-macros/src/lib.rs` and is used via
  `#[derive(ExperimentalApi)]` plus `#[experimental("reason")]`
  attributes.
  - **Structs**:
  - Generates `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason(&self)` that checks
  only annotated fields.
    - The “presence” check is type-aware:
      - `Option<T>`: `is_some_and(...)` recursively checks inner.
      - `Vec`/`HashMap`/`BTreeMap`: must be non-empty.
      - `bool`: must be `true`.
      - Other types: considered present (returns `true`).
  - Registers each experimental field in an `inventory` with `(type_name,
  serialized field name, reason)` and exposes `EXPERIMENTAL_FIELDS` for
  that type. Field names are converted from `snake_case` to `camelCase`
  for schema/TS filtering.
  - **Enums**:
  - Generates an exhaustive `match` returning `Some(reason)` for annotated
  variants and `None` otherwise (no wildcard arm).
  - **Wiring**:
  - Runtime gating uses `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason()` in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` to reject requests unless
  `InitializeParams.capabilities.experimental_api == true`.
  - Schema/TS export filters use the inventory list and
  `EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_METHODS` from `client_request_definitions!` to
  strip experimental methods/fields when `experimental_api` is false.

• Add total (non-partial) TextElement placeholder accessors (#9545)

  ## Summary
  - Make `TextElement` placeholders private and add a text-backed accessor
  to avoid assuming `Some`.
  - Since they are optional in the protocol, we want to make sure any
  accessors properly handle the None case (getting the placeholder using
  the byte range in the text)
  - Preserve placeholders during protocol/app-server conversions using the
  accessor fallback.
  - Update TUI composer/remap logic and tests to use the new
  constructor/accessor.

• feat(app-server, core): return threads by created_at or updated_at (#9247)

  Add support for returning threads by either `created_at` OR `updated_at`
  descending. Previously core always returned threads ordered by
  `created_at`.
  
  This PR:
  - updates core to be able to list threads by `updated_at` OR
  `created_at` descending based on what the caller wants
  - also update `thread/list` in app-server to expose this (default to
  `created_at` if not specified)
  
  All existing codepaths (app-server, TUI) still default to `created_at`,
  so no behavior change is expected with this PR.
  
  **Implementation**
  To sort by `updated_at` is a bit nontrivial (whereas `created_at` is
  easy due to the way we structure the folders and filenames on disk,
  which are all based on `created_at`).
  
  The most naive way to do this without introducing a cache file or sqlite
  DB (which we have to implement/maintain) is to scan files in reverse
  `created_at` order on disk, and look at the file's mtime (last modified
  timestamp according to the filesystem) until we reach `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
  (currently set to 10,000). Then, we can return the most recent N
  threads.
  
  Based on some quick and dirty benchmarking on my machine with ~1000
  rollout files, calling `thread/list` with limit 50, the `updated_at`
  path is slower as expected due to all the I/O:
  - updated-at: average 103.10 ms
  - created-at: average 41.10 ms
  
  Those absolute numbers aren't a big deal IMO, but we can certainly
  optimize this in a followup if needed by introducing more state stored
  on disk.
  
  **Caveat**
  There's also a limitation in that any files older than `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
  will be excluded, which means if a user continues a REALLY old thread,
  it's possible to not be included. In practice that should not be too big
  of an issue.
  
  If a user makes...
  - 1000 rollouts/day → threads older than 10 days won't show up
  - 100 rollouts/day → ~100 days
  
  If this becomes a problem for some reason, even more motivation to
  implement an updated_at cache.

• Add text element metadata to protocol, app server, and core (#9331)

  The second part of breaking up PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
  
  Summary:
  
  - Add `TextElement` / `ByteRange` to protocol user inputs and user
  message events with defaults.
  - Thread `text_elements` through app-server v1/v2 request handling and
  history rebuild.
  - Preserve UI metadata only in user input/events (not `ContentItem`)
  while keeping local image attachments in user events for rehydration.
  
  Details:
  
  - Protocol: `UserInput::Text` carries `text_elements`;
  `UserMessageEvent` carries `text_elements` + `local_images`.
  Serialization includes empty vectors for backward compatibility.
  - app-server-protocol: v1 defines `V1TextElement` / `V1ByteRange` in
  camelCase with conversions; v2 uses its own camelCase wrapper.
  - app-server: v1/v2 input mapping includes `text_elements`; thread
  history rebuilds include them.
  - Core: user event emission preserves UI metadata while model history
  stays clean; history replay round-trips the metadata.

• feat: expose outputSchema to user_turn/turn_start app_server API (#8377)

  What changed
  - Added `outputSchema` support to the app-server APIs, mirroring `codex
  exec --output-schema` behavior.
  - V1 `sendUserTurn` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
  assistant message for that turn.
  - V2 `turn/start` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
  assistant message for that turn (explicitly per-turn only).
  
  Core behavior
  - `Op::UserTurn` already supported `final_output_json_schema`; now V1
  `sendUserTurn` forwards `outputSchema` into that field.
  - `Op::UserInput` now carries `final_output_json_schema` for per-turn
  settings updates; core maps it into
  `SessionSettingsUpdate.final_output_json_schema` so it applies to the
  created turn context.
  - V2 `turn/start` does NOT persist the schema via `OverrideTurnContext`
  (it’s applied only for the current turn). Other overrides
  (cwd/model/etc) keep their existing persistent behavior.
  
  API / docs
  - `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs`: add `output_schema:
  Option<serde_json::Value>` to `SendUserTurnParams` (serialized as
  `outputSchema`).
  - `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`: add `output_schema:
  Option<JsonValue>` to `TurnStartParams` (serialized as `outputSchema`).
  - `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`: document `outputSchema` for
  `turn/start` and clarify it applies only to the current turn.
  - `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`: document `outputSchema` for v1
  `sendUserTurn` and v2 `turn/start`.
  
  Tests added/updated
  - New app-server integration tests asserting `outputSchema` is forwarded
  into outbound `/responses` requests as `text.format`:
    - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/output_schema.rs`
    - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/output_schema.rs`
  - Added per-turn semantics tests (schema does not leak to the next
  turn):
    - `send_user_turn_output_schema_is_per_turn_v1`
    - `turn_start_output_schema_is_per_turn_v2`
  - Added protocol wire-compat tests for the merged op:
    - serialize omits `final_output_json_schema` when `None`
    - deserialize works when field is missing
    - serialize includes `final_output_json_schema` when `Some(schema)`
  
  Call site updates (high level)
  - Updated all `Op::UserInput { .. }` constructions to include
  `final_output_json_schema`:
    - `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
    - `codex-rs/core/src/codex_delegate.rs`
    - `codex-rs/mcp-server/src/codex_tool_runner.rs`
    - `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`
    - `codex-rs/tui2/src/chatwidget.rs`
    - plus impacted core tests.
  
  Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-mcp-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui`

• fix: introduce AbsolutePathBuf as part of sandbox config (#7856)

  Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
  the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
  This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
  path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
  a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
  
  Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
  that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
  folder of the config file as the base path.

• [app-server] feat: add v2 command execution approval flow (#6758)

  This PR adds the API V2 version of the command‑execution approval flow
  for the shell tool.
  
  This PR wires the new RPC (`item/commandExecution/requestApproval`, V2
  only) and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed`, and
  `item/commandExecution/delta`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2)
  through the app-server
  protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
  turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
  compatibility with VSCE.
  
  The approach I took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as
  possible, leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating
  those in app-server. I did have to add additional fields to
  `EventMsg::ExecCommandEndEvent` to capture the command's input so that
  app-server can statelessly transform these events to a
  `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` item for the `item/completed` event.
  
  Once we stabilize the API and it's complete enough for our partners, we
  can work on migrating the core to be aware of command execution items as
  a first-class concept.
  
  **Note**: We'll need followup work to make sure these APIs work for the
  unified exec tool, but will wait til that's stable and landed before
  doing a pass on app-server.

• [App-server] Implement v2 for account/login/start and account/login/completed (#6183)

  This PR implements `account/login/start` and `account/login/completed`.
  Instead of having separate endpoints for login with chatgpt and api, we
  have a single enum handling different login methods. For sync auth
  methods like sign in with api key, we still send a `completed`
  notification back to be compatible with the async login flow.

  V2 for `account/updated` and `account/logout` for app server. correspond
