## Summary
- persist registered agent tasks in the session state update stream so
the thread can reuse them
- prewarm task registration once identity registration succeeds, while
keeping startup failures best-effort
- isolate the session-side task lifecycle into a dedicated module so
AgentIdentityManager and RegisteredAgentTask do not leak across as many
core layers
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-core startup_agent_task_prewarm
- cargo test -p codex-core
cached_agent_task_for_current_identity_clears_stale_task
- cargo test -p codex-core record_initial_history_
Adds max_context_window to model metadata and routes core context-window
reads through resolved model info. Config model_context_window overrides
are clamped to max_context_window when present; without an override, the
model context_window is used.
## Summary
- Populate `PluginDetail.description` in core for uninstalled cross-repo
plugins when detailed fields are unavailable until install.
- Include the source Git URL plus optional path/ref/sha details in that
fallback description.
- Keep `details_unavailable_reason` as the structured signal while
app-server forwards the description normally.
- Add plugin-read coverage proving the response does not clone the
remote source just to show the message.
## Why
Uninstalled cross-repo plugins intentionally return sparse detail data
so listing/reading does not clone the plugin source. Without a
description, Desktop and TUI detail pages look like an ordinary empty
plugin. This gives users a concrete explanation and source pointer while
keeping the existing structured reason available for callers.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
read_plugin_for_config_uninstalled_git_source_requires_install_without_cloning`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server plugin_read --test all`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
Note: `cargo test -p codex-app-server` was also attempted before the
latest refactor and failed broadly in unrelated v2
thread/realtime/review/skills suites; the new plugin-read test passed in
that run as well.
Cap the model-visible skills section to a small share of the context
window, with a fallback character budget, and keep only as many implicit
skills as fit within that budget.
Emit a non-fatal warning when enabled skills are omitted, and add a new
app-server warning notification
Record thread-start skill metrics for total enabled skills, kept skills,
and whether truncation happened

## Summary
- trust-gate project `.codex` layers consistently, including repos that
have `.codex/hooks.json` or `.codex/execpolicy/*.rules` but no
`.codex/config.toml`
- keep disabled project layers in the config stack so nested trusted
project layers still resolve correctly, while preventing hooks and exec
policies from loading until the project is trusted
- update app-server/TUI onboarding copy to make the trust boundary
explicit and add regressions for loader, hooks, exec-policy, and
onboarding coverage
## Security
Before this change, an untrusted repo could auto-load project hooks or
exec policies from `.codex/` as long as `config.toml` was absent. This
makes trust the single gate for project-local config, hooks, and exec
policies.

## Summary
Update the plugin API for the new remote plugin model.
The mental model is no longer “keep local plugin state in sync with
remote.” Instead, local and remote plugins are becoming separate
sources. Remote catalog entries can be shown directly from the remote
API before installation; after installation they are still downloaded
into the local cache for execution, but remote installed state will come
from the API and be held in memory rather than being read from config.
• ## API changes
- Remove `forceRemoteSync` from `plugin/list`, `plugin/install`, and
`plugin/uninstall`.
- Remove `remoteSyncError` from `plugin/list`.
- Add remote-capable metadata to `plugin/list` / `plugin/read`:
- nullable `marketplaces[].path`
- `source: { type: "remote", downloadUrl }`
- URL asset fields alongside local path fields:
`composerIconUrl`, `logoUrl`, `screenshotUrls`
- Make `plugin/read` and `plugin/install` source-compatible:
- `marketplacePath?: AbsolutePathBuf | null`
- `remoteMarketplaceName?: string | null`
- exactly one source is required at runtime
## Summary
First PR in the split from #17956.
- adds the core/app-server `RateLimitReachedType` shape
- maps backend `rate_limit_reached_type` into Codex rate-limit snapshots
- carries the field through app-server notifications/responses and
generated schemas
- updates existing constructors/tests for the new optional field
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-backend-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server rate_limits`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui workspace_`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui status_`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-backend-client`

- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
To improve performance of UI loads from the app, add two main
improvements:
1. The `thread/list` api now gets a `sortDirection` request field and a
`backwardsCursor` to the response, which lets you paginate forwards and
backwards from a window. This lets you fetch the first few items to
display immediately while you paginate to fill in history, then can
paginate "backwards" on future loads to catch up with any changes since
the last UI load without a full reload of the entire data set.
2. Added a new `thread/turns/list` api which also has sortDirection and
backwardsCursor for the same behavior as `thread/list`, allowing you the
same small-fetch for immediate display followed by background fill-in
and resync catchup.
Summary
- replace the thread/read persisted-load helper with
ThreadStore::read_thread
- move SQLite/rollout summary, name, fork metadata, and history loading
for persisted reads into LocalThreadStore
- leave getConversationSummary unchanged for a later PR
Context
- Replaces closed stacked PR #18232 after PR #18231 merged and its base
branch was deleted.
… import
## Why
`externalAgentConfig/import` used to spawn plugin imports in the
background and return immediately. That meant local marketplace imports
could still be in flight when the caller refreshed plugin state, so
newly imported plugins would not show up right away.
This change makes local marketplace imports complete before the RPC
returns, while keeping remote marketplace imports asynchronous so we do
not block on remote fetches.
## What changed
- split plugin migration details into local and remote marketplace
imports based on the external config source
- import local marketplaces synchronously during
`externalAgentConfig/import`
- return pending remote plugin imports to the app-server so it can
finish them in the background
- clear the plugin and skills caches before responding to plugin
imports, and again after background remote imports complete, so the next
`plugin/list` reloads fresh state
- keep marketplace source parsing encapsulated behind
`is_local_marketplace_source(...)` instead of re-exporting the internal
enum
- add core and app-server coverage for the synchronous local import path
and the pending remote import path
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (currently fails an existing unrelated
test:
`config_loader::tests::cli_override_can_update_project_local_mcp_server_when_project_is_trusted`)
- `cargo test` (currently fails existing `codex-app-server` integration
tests in MCP/skills/thread-start areas, plus the unrelated `codex-core`
failure above)
Load plugin manifests through a shared discoverable-path helper so
manifest reads, installs, and skill names all see the same alternate
manifest location.
## Summary
- Switch the unknown-thread MCP resource read test from the stdio
subprocess to the in-process app-server path.
- Keep the assertion focused on the returned error message while
avoiding child-process teardown timing issues in nextest.
## Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
- set the realtime v2 server VAD silence delay to 500ms
- update the default realtime 1.5 backend prompt to the v4 text
- keep the session payload and prompt rendering tests aligned with those
changes
## Why
- the VAD change gives the voice path a longer pause before ending the
user's turn
- the prompt change makes the default bundled realtime prompt match the
current v4 content

## Notes
The full local app-server E2E path is still being debugged after PR
creation. The current branch stack is directionally ready for review
while that follow-up continues.
## Problem
When a user resumed or forked a session, the TUI could render the
restored thread history immediately, but it did not receive token usage
until a later model turn emitted a fresh usage event. That left the
context/status UI blank or stale during the exact window where the user
expects resumed state to look complete. Core already reconstructed token
usage from the rollout; the missing behavior was app-server lifecycle
replay to the client that just attached.
## Mental model
Token usage has two representations. The rollout is the durable source
of historical `TokenCount` events, and the core session cache is the
in-memory snapshot reconstructed from that rollout on resume or fork.
App-server v2 clients do not read core state directly; they learn about
usage through `thread/tokenUsage/updated`. The fix keeps those roles
separate: core exposes the restored `TokenUsageInfo`, and app-server
sends one targeted notification after a successful `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response when that restored snapshot exists.
This notification is not a new model event. It is a replay of
already-persisted state for the client that just attached. That
distinction matters because using the normal core event path here would
risk duplicating `TokenCount` entries in the rollout and making future
resumes count historical usage twice.
## Non-goals
This change does not add a new protocol method or payload shape. It
reuses the existing v2 `thread/tokenUsage/updated` notification and the
TUI’s existing handler for that notification.
This change does not alter how token usage is computed, accumulated,
compacted, or written during turns. It only exposes the token usage that
resume and fork reconstruction already restored.
This change does not broadcast historical usage replay to every
subscribed client. The replay is intentionally scoped to the connection
that requested resume or fork so already-attached clients are not
surprised by an old usage update while they may be rendering live
activity.
## Tradeoffs
Sending the usage notification after the JSON-RPC response preserves a
clear lifecycle order: the client first receives the thread object, then
receives restored usage for that thread. The tradeoff is that usage is
still a notification rather than part of the `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response. That keeps the protocol shape stable and avoids
duplicating usage fields across response types, but clients must
continue listening for notifications after receiving the response.
The helper selects the latest non-in-progress turn id for the replayed
usage notification. This is conservative because restored usage belongs
to completed persisted accounting, not to newly attached in-flight work.
The fallback to the last turn preserves a stable wire payload for
unusual histories, but histories with no meaningful completed turn still
have a weak attribution story.
## Architecture
Core already seeds `Session` token state from the last persisted rollout
`TokenCount` during `InitialHistory::Resumed` and
`InitialHistory::Forked`. The new core accessor exposes the complete
`TokenUsageInfo` through `CodexThread` without giving app-server direct
session mutation authority.
App-server calls that accessor from three lifecycle paths: cold
`thread/resume`, running-thread resume/rejoin, and `thread/fork`. In
each path, the server sends the normal response first, then calls a
shared helper that converts core usage into
`ThreadTokenUsageUpdatedNotification` and sends it only to the
requesting connection.
The tests build fake rollouts with a user turn plus a persisted token
usage event. They then exercise `thread/resume` and `thread/fork`
without starting another model turn, proving that restored usage arrives
before any next-turn token event could be produced.
## Observability
The primary debug path is the app-server JSON-RPC stream. After
`thread/resume` or `thread/fork`, a client should see the response
followed by `thread/tokenUsage/updated` when the source rollout includes
token usage. If the notification is absent, check whether the rollout
contains an `event_msg` payload of type `token_count`, whether core
reconstruction seeded `Session::token_usage_info`, and whether the
connection stayed attached long enough to receive the targeted
notification.
The notification is sent through the existing
`OutgoingMessageSender::send_server_notification_to_connections` path,
so existing app-server tracing around server notifications still
applies. Because this is a replay, not a model turn event, debugging
should start at the resume/fork handlers rather than the turn event
translation in `bespoke_event_handling`.
## Tests
The focused regression coverage is `cargo test -p codex-app-server
emits_restored_token_usage`, which covers both resume and fork. The core
reconstruction guard is `cargo test -p codex-core
record_initial_history_seeds_token_info_from_rollout`.
Formatting and lint/fix passes were run with `just fmt`, `just fix -p
codex-core`, and `just fix -p codex-app-server`. Full crate test runs
surfaced pre-existing unrelated failures in command execution and plugin
marketplace tests; the new token usage tests passed in focused runs and
within the app-server suite before the unrelated command execution
failure.
## Summary
- replace the unsubscribe-during-turn test's sleep/polling flow with a
gated streaming SSE response
- add request-count notification support to the streaming SSE test
server so the test can wait for the in-flight Responses request
deterministically
## Scope

- codex-rs/core/tests/common/streaming_sse.rs
## Validation
- Not run locally; this is a narrow extraction from the prior CI-green

Make sure Bazel logs shows every errors so that we can debug flakes +
fix a small flake on Windows by updating the sleep command to a
`Start-Sleep` instead of a PowerShell nested command (otherwise we had
double nesting which is absurdely slow)
## Summary
- Make command/exec output-delta tests accumulate streamed chunks
instead of assuming complete logical output in a single notification.
- Collect stdout and stderr independently so stream interleaving does
not fail the pipe streaming test.
## Why
The command/exec protocol exposes output as deltas, so tests should not
rely on chunk boundaries being stable. A line like `out-start\n` may
arrive split across multiple notifications, and stdout/stderr
notifications may interleave.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server suite::v2::command_exec`
## Summary
- wrap realtime startup context in

with a short completion acknowledgement while preserving the existing V1
wrapper

Dismiss stale TUI app-server approvals after remote resolution
When an approval, user-input prompt, or elicitation request is resolved
by another client, the TUI now dismisses the matching local UI instead
of leaving stale prompts behind and emitting a misleading local
cancellation.
This change teaches pending app-server request tracking to map
`serverRequest/resolved` notifications back to the concrete request type
and stable request key, then propagates that resolved request into TUI
prompt state. Approval, request-user-input, and MCP elicitation overlays
now drop the resolved current or queued request quietly, advance to the
next queued request when present, and avoid emitting abort/cancel events
for stale UI.
The latest update also retires matching prompts while they are still
deferred behind active streaming and suppresses buffered active-thread
requests whose app-server request id has already been resolved before
drain. `ChatWidget` removes a resolved request from both the deferred
interrupt queue and the materialized bottom-pane stack, while
active-thread request handling verifies the app-server request is still
pending before showing a prompt. Lifecycle events such as exec begin/end
remain queued so approved work can still render normally.
Tests cover resolved-request mapping, overlay dismissal behavior,
deferred prompt pruning for same-turn user input, exec approval IDs,
lifecycle-event retention, and the buffered active-thread ordering
regression.

Builds on top of #17659
Move the filesystem + sqlite thread listing-related operations inside of
a local ThreadStore implementation and call ThreadStore from the places
that used to perform these filesystem/sqlite operations.
This is the first of a series of PRs that will implement the rest of the
local ThreadStore.
Testing:
- added unit tests for the thread store implementation
- adjusted some unit tests in the realtime + personality packages whose
callsites changed. Specifically I'm trying to hide ThreadMetadata inside
of the local implementation and make ThreadMetadata a sqlite
implementation detail concern rather than a public interface, preferring
the more generate StoredThread interface instead
- added a corner case test for the personality migration package that
wasn't covered by the existing test suite
- adjust the behavior of searched thread listing to run the existing
local rollout repair/backfill pass _before_ querying SQLite results, so
callers using ThreadStore::list_threads do not miss matches after a
partial metadata warm-up
## Summary
Stack PR 2 of 4 for feature-gated agent identity support.

`features.use_agent_identity`. It keeps the app-server protocol
unchanged and starts registration after ChatGPT auth exists rather than
requiring a client restart.

MCP tools returned by `tool_search` (deferred tools) get registered in
our `ToolRegistry` with a different format than directly available
tools. this leads to two different ways of accessing MCP tools from our
tool catalog, only one of which works for each. fix this by registering
all MCP tools with the namespace format, since this info is already
available.
also, direct MCP tools are registered to responsesapi without a
namespace, while deferred MCP tools have a namespace. this means we can
receive MCP `FunctionCall`s in both formats from namespaces. fix this by
always registering MCP tools with namespace, regardless of deferral
status.
make code mode track `ToolName` provenance of tools so it can map the
literal JS function name string to the correct `ToolName` for
invocation, rather than supporting both in core.
this lets us unify to a single canonical `ToolName` representation for
each MCP tool and force everywhere to use that one, without supporting
fallbacks.
## 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.
To allow the ability to have guaranteed-unique cursors, we make two
important updates:
* Add new updated_at_ms and created_at_ms columns that are in
millisecond precision
* Guarantee uniqueness -- if multiple items are inserted at the same
millisecond, bump the new one by one millisecond until it becomes unique
This lets us use single-number cursors for forwards and backwards paging
through resultsets and guarantee that the cursor is a fixed point to do
(timestamp > cursor) and get new items only.
This updated implementation is backwards-compatible since multiple
appservers can be running and won't handle the previous method well.
- Add outputModality to thread/realtime/start and wire text/audio output
selection through app-server, core, API, and TUI.\n- Rename the realtime
transcript delta notification and add a separate transcript done
notification that forwards final text from item done without correlating
it with deltas.
## 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`
## Summary
- Add `turn/inject_items` app-server v2 request support for appending
raw Responses API items to a loaded thread history without starting a
turn.
- Generate JSON schema and TypeScript protocol artifacts for the new
params and empty response.
- Document the new endpoint and include a request/response example.
- Preserve compatibility with the typo alias `turn/injet_items` while
returning the canonical method name.
## Testing
- Not run (not requested)

Currently app-server may unload actively running threads once the last
connection disconnects, which is not expected.
Instead track when was the last active turn & when there were any
subscribers the last time, also add 30 minute idleness/no subscribers
timer to reduce the churn.
Addresses #17498
Problem: The TUI derived /status instruction source paths from the local
client environment, which could show stale <none> output or incorrect
paths when connected to a remote app server.
Solution: Add an app-server v2 instructionSources snapshot to thread
start/resume/fork responses, default it to an empty list when older
servers omit it, and render TUI /status from that server-provided
session data.
Additional context: The app-server field is intentionally named
instructionSources rather than AGENTS.md-specific terminology because
the loaded instruction sources can include global instructions, project
AGENTS.md files, AGENTS.override.md, user-defined instruction files, and
future dynamic sources.
- Let typed user messages submit while realtime is active and mirror
accepted text into the realtime text stream.
- Add integration coverage and snapshot for outbound realtime text.
