## Why
This finishes the config-type move out of `codex-core` by removing the
temporary compatibility shim in `codex_core::config::types`. Callers now
depend on `codex-config` directly, which keeps these config model types
owned by the config crate instead of re-expanding `codex-core` as a
transitive API surface.
## What Changed
- Removed the `codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` re-export shim and the
`core::config::ApprovalsReviewer` re-export.
- Updated `codex-core`, `codex-cli`, `codex-tui`, `codex-app-server`,
`codex-mcp-server`, and `codex-linux-sandbox` call sites to import
`codex_config::types` directly.
- Added explicit `codex-config` dependencies to downstream crates that
previously relied on the `codex-core` re-export.
- Regenerated `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json` after updating the
config docs path reference.
## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## Why
`codex-mcp` already owns the shared MCP API surface, including `auth`,
`McpConfig`, `CODEX_APPS_MCP_SERVER_NAME`, and tool-name helpers in
[`codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/f61e85dbfb5373cde6827d232ac8ea447c237e81/codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs#L1-L35).
Re-exporting that surface from `codex_core::mcp` gives downstream crates
two import paths for the same API and hides the real crate dependency.
This PR keeps `codex_core::mcp` focused on the local `McpManager`
wrapper in
[`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/f61e85dbfb5373cde6827d232ac8ea447c237e81/codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs#L13-L40)
and makes consumers import shared MCP APIs from `codex_mcp` directly.
## What
- Remove the `codex_mcp::mcp` re-export surface from `core/src/mcp.rs`.
- Update `codex-core` internals plus `codex-app-server`, `codex-cli`,
and `codex-tui` test code to import MCP APIs from `codex_mcp::mcp`
directly.
- Add explicit `codex-mcp` dependencies where those crates now use that
API surface, and refresh `Cargo.lock`.
## Verification
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `codex-cli` passed.
- `codex-core` still fails five unrelated config tests in
`core/src/config/config_tests.rs` (`approvals_reviewer_*` and
`smart_approvals_alias_*`).
- A broader `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli
-p codex-tui` run previously hung in `codex-app-server` test
`in_process_start_uses_requested_session_source_for_thread_start`.
## Why
`#16193` moved the pure `tool_search` and `tool_suggest` spec builders
into `codex-tools`, but `codex-core` still owned the shared
discoverable-tool model that those builders and the `tool_suggest`
runtime both depend on. This change continues the migration by moving
that reusable model boundary out of `codex-core` as well, so the
discovery/suggestion stack uses one shared set of types and
`core/src/tools` no longer needs its own `discoverable.rs` module.
## What changed
- Moved `DiscoverableTool`, `DiscoverablePluginInfo`, and
`filter_tool_suggest_discoverable_tools_for_client()` into
`codex-rs/tools/src/tool_discovery.rs` alongside the extracted
discovery/suggestion spec builders.
- Added `codex-app-server-protocol` as a `codex-tools` dependency so the
shared discoverable-tool model can own the connector-side `AppInfo`
variant directly.
- Updated `core/src/tools/handlers/tool_suggest.rs`,
`core/src/tools/spec.rs`, `core/src/tools/router.rs`,
`core/src/connectors.rs`, and `core/src/codex.rs` to consume the shared
`codex-tools` model instead of the old core-local declarations.
- Changed `core/src/plugins/discoverable.rs` to return
`DiscoverablePluginInfo` directly, moved the pure client-filter coverage
into `tool_discovery_tests.rs`, and deleted the old
`core/src/tools/discoverable.rs` module.
- Updated `codex-rs/tools/README.md` so the crate boundary documents
that `codex-tools` now owns the discoverable-tool models in addition to
the discovery/suggestion spec builders.
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-core-discoverable-model cargo test -p
codex-core --lib tools::handlers::tool_suggest::`
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-core-discoverable-model cargo test -p
codex-core --lib tools::spec::`
- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-core-discoverable-model cargo test -p
codex-core --lib plugins::discoverable::`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just argument-comment-lint`

## Why
The `plugin/list` force-sync path can race app-server startup's curated
plugin cache refresh.
Startup was capturing the configured curated plugin IDs from the initial
config snapshot. If `plugin/list` with `forceRemoteSync` removed curated
plugin entries from `config.toml` while that background refresh was
still in flight, the startup task could recreate cache directories for
plugins that had just been uninstalled.
That leaves the `plugin/list` response logically correct but the on-disk
cache stale, which matches the flaky Ubuntu arm failure seen in
`codex-app-server::all
suite::v2::plugin_list::plugin_list_force_remote_sync_reconciles_curated_plugin_state`
while validating [#16047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/16047).
## What
- change `codex-rs/core/src/plugins/manager.rs` so startup curated-repo
refresh rereads the current user `config.toml` before deciding which
curated plugin cache entries to refresh
- factor the configured-plugin parsing so the same logic can be reused
from either the config layer stack or the persisted user config value
- add a regression test that verifies curated plugin IDs are read from
the latest user config state before cache refresh runs
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
configured_curated_plugin_ids_from_codex_home_reads_latest_user_config
-- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
suite::v2::plugin_list::plugin_list_force_remote_sync_reconciles_curated_plugin_state
-- --nocapture`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
1. Keep curated plugin staging directories under TempDir ownership until
activation succeeds, so failed git/HTTP sync attempts do not leak
plugins-clone-*.
2. Best-effort clean up stale plugins-clone-* directories before
creating a new staged repo, using a conservative age threshold.
3. Emit OTEL counters for curated plugin startup sync transport attempts
and final outcome across git and HTTP paths.

- Prefer plugin manifest `interface.displayName` for plugin labels.
- Preserve plugin provenance when handling `list_mcp_tools` so connector
`plugin_display_names` are not clobbered.
- Add a TUI test to ensure plugin-owned app mentions are deduped
correctly.
- Split the feature system into a new `codex-features` crate.
- Cut `codex-core` and workspace consumers over to the new config and
warning APIs.

1. Added SessionSource::Custom(String) and --session-source.
2. Enforced plugin and skill products by session_source.
3. Applied the same filtering to curated background refresh.
Resubmit https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15020 with correct
content.
1. Use requirement-resolved config.features as the plugin gate.
2. Guard plugin/list, plugin/read, and related flows behind that gate.
3. Skip bad marketplace.json files instead of failing the whole list.
4. Simplify plugin state and caching.

3. Skip bad marketplace.json files instead of failing the whole list.
4. Simplify plugin state and caching.
- Add shared Product support to marketplace plugin policy and skill
policy (no enforced yet).
- Move marketplace installation/authentication under policy and model it
as MarketplacePluginPolicy.
- Rename plugin/marketplace local manifest types to separate raw serde
shapes from resolved in-memory models.
It now supports:
- Connectors that are from installed and enabled plugins that are not
installed yet
- Plugins that are on the allowlist that are not installed yet.
- Added forceRemoteSync to plugin/install and plugin/uninstall.
- With forceRemoteSync=true, we update the remote plugin status first,
then apply the local change only if the backend call succeeds.
- Kept plugin/list(forceRemoteSync=true) as the main recon path, and for
now it treats remote enabled=false as uninstall. We
will eventually migrate to plugin/installed for more precise state
handling.
## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

* -> #14652
* #14651
make plugins' `defaultPrompt` an array, but keep backcompat for strings.
the array is limited by app-server to 3 entries of up to 128 chars
(drops extra entries, `None`s-out ones that are too long) without
erroring if those invariants are violating.
added tests, tested locally.
Move the general `Apps`, `Skills` and `Plugins` instructions blocks out
of `user_instructions` and into the developer message, with new `Apps ->
Skills -> Plugins` order for better clarity.
Also wrap those sections in stable XML-style instruction tags (like
other sections) and update prompt-layout tests/snapshots. This makes the
tests less brittle in snapshot output (we can parse the sections), and
it consolidates the capability instructions in one place.
#### Tests
Updated snapshots, added tests.
`<AGENTS_MD>` disappearing in snapshots is expected: before this change,
the wrapped user-instructions message was kept alive by `Skills`
content. Now that `Skills` and `Plugins` are in the developer message,
that wrapper only appears when there is real
project-doc/user-instructions content.

- clarify app mentions are in user messages
- clarify what it means for tools to be provided via `codex_apps` MCP
- add plugin descriptions (with basic sanitization) to top-level `##
Plugins` section alongside the corresponding plugin names
- explain that skills from plugins are prefixed with `plugin_name:` in
top-level `##Plugins` section
changes to more logically organize `Apps`, `Skills`, and `Plugins`
instructions will be in a separate PR, as that shuffles dev + user
instructions in ways that change tests broadly.
### Tests
confirmed in local rollout, some new tests.
## Why
PR #13783 moved the `codex.rs` unit tests into `codex_tests.rs`. This
applies the same extraction pattern across the rest of `codex-rs/core`
so the production modules stay focused on runtime code instead of large
inline test blocks.
Keeping the tests in sibling files also makes follow-up edits easier to
review because product changes no longer have to share a file with
hundreds or thousands of lines of test scaffolding.
## What changed
- replaced each inline `mod tests { ... }` in `codex-rs/core/src/**`
with a path-based module declaration
- moved each extracted unit test module into a sibling `*_tests.rs`
file, using `mod_tests.rs` for `mod.rs` modules
- preserved the existing `cfg(...)` guards and module-local structure so
the refactor remains structural rather than behavioral
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` (`1653 passed; 0 failed; 5 ignored`)
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo shear`
- Curated repo sync now uses GitHub HTTP, not local git.
- Curated plugin cache/versioning now uses commit SHA instead of local.
- Startup sync now always repairs or refreshes curated plugin cache from
tmp (auto update to the lastest)
make `AVAILABLE` the default plugin installPolicy when unset in
`marketplace.json`. similarly, make `ON_INSTALL` the default authPolicy.
this means, when unset, plugins are available to be installed (but not
auto-installed), and the contained connectors will be authed at
install-time.
updated tests.
wire plugin marketplace metadata through app-server endpoints:
- `plugin/list` has `installPolicy` and `authPolicy`
- `plugin/install` has plugin-level `authPolicy`
`plugin/install` also now enforces `NOT_AVAILABLE` `installPolicy` when
installing.
added tests.
add `plugin/uninstall` app-server endpoint to fully rm plugin from
plugins cache dir and rm entry from user config file.
plugin-enablement is session-scoped, so uninstalls are only picked up in
new sessions (like installs).
added tests.
1. Add a synced curated plugin marketplace and include it in marketplace
discovery.
2. Expose optional plugin.json interface metadata in plugin/list
3. Tighten plugin and marketplace path handling using validated absolute
paths.
4. Let manifests override skill, MCP, and app config paths.
5. Restrict plugin enablement/config loading to the user config layer so
plugin enablement is at global level
#### What
Add structured `@plugin` parsing and TUI support for plugin mentions.
- Core: switch from plain-text `@display_name` parsing to structured
`plugin://...` mentions via `UserInput::Mention` and
`[$...](plugin://...)` links in text, same pattern as apps/skills.
- TUI: add plugin mention popup, autocomplete, and chips when typing
`$`. Load plugin capability summaries and feed them into the composer;
plugin mentions appear alongside skills and apps.
- Generalize mention parsing to a sigil parameter, still defaults to `$`

Builds on #13510. Currently clients have to build their own `id` via
`plugin@marketplace` and filter plugins to show by `enabled`, but we
will add `id` and `available` as fields returned from `plugin/list`
soon.
####Tests
Added tests, verified locally.
#### What
on `plugin/install`, check if installed apps are already authed on
chatgpt, and return list of all apps that are not. clients can use this
list to trigger auth workflows as needed.
checks are best effort based on `codex_apps` loading, much like
`app/list`.
#### Tests
Added integration tests, tested locally.
