## 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
- 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.
## Stack
- Parent of #15936
## Test
- cargo test -p codex-core without_config_toml

Rename `no_memories_if_mcp_or_web_search` →
`disable_on_external_context` with backward compatibility
While doing so, we add a key alias system on our layer merging system.
What we try to avoid is a case where a company managed config use an old
name while the user has a new name in it's local config (which would
make the deserialization fail)
## Summary
- adds managed requirements support for deny-read filesystem entries
- constrains config layers so managed deny-read requirements cannot be
widened by user-controlled config
- surfaces managed deny-read requirements through debug/config plumbing
This PR lets managed requirements inject deny-read filesystem
constraints into the effective filesystem sandbox policy.
User-controlled config can still choose the surrounding permission
profile, but it cannot remove or weaken the managed deny-read entries.
## Managed deny-read shape
A managed requirements file can declare exact paths and glob patterns
under `[permissions.filesystem]`:
```toml
# /etc/codex/requirements.toml
[permissions.filesystem]
deny_read = [
"/Users/alice/.gitconfig",
"/Users/alice/.ssh",
"./managed-private/**/*.env",
]
```
Those entries are compiled into the effective filesystem policy as
`access = none` rules, equivalent in shape to filesystem permission
entries like:
```toml
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
"/Users/alice/.gitconfig" = "none"
"/Users/alice/.ssh" = "none"
"/absolute/path/to/managed-private/**/*.env" = "none"
```
The important difference is that the managed entries come from
requirements, so lower-precedence user config cannot remove them or make
those paths readable again.
Relative managed `deny_read` entries are resolved relative to the
directory containing the managed requirements file. Glob entries keep
their glob suffix after the non-glob prefix is normalized.
## Runtime behavior
- Managed `deny_read` entries are appended to the effective
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` after the selected permission profile is
resolved.
- Exact paths become `FileSystemPath::Path { access: None }`; glob
patterns become `FileSystemPath::GlobPattern { access: None }`.
- When managed deny-read entries are present, `sandbox_mode` is
constrained to `read-only` or `workspace-write`; `danger-full-access`
and `external-sandbox` cannot silently bypass the managed read-deny
policy.
- On Windows, the managed deny-read policy is enforced for direct file
tools, but shell subprocess reads are not sandboxed yet, so startup
emits a warning for that platform.
- `/debug-config` shows the effective managed requirement as
`permissions.filesystem.deny_read` with its source.

## Summary
- adds macOS Seatbelt deny rules for unreadable glob patterns
- expands unreadable glob matches on Linux and masks them in bwrap,
including canonical symlink targets
- keeps Linux glob expansion robust when `rg` is unavailable in minimal
or Bazel test environments
- adds sandbox integration coverage that runs `shell` and `exec_command`
with a `**/*.env = none` policy and verifies the secret contents do not
reach the model
## Linux glob expansion
```text
Prefer: rg --files --hidden --no-ignore --glob <pattern> -- <search-root>
Fallback: internal globset walker when rg is not installed
Failure: any other rg failure aborts sandbox construction
```
```
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
glob_scan_max_depth = 2
[permissions.workspace.filesystem.":project_roots"]
"**/*.env" = "none"
```
This keeps the common path fast without making sandbox construction
depend on an ambient `rg` binary. If `rg` is present but fails for
another reason, the sandbox setup fails closed instead of silently
omitting deny-read masks.
## Platform support
- macOS: subprocess sandbox enforcement is handled by Seatbelt regex
deny rules
- Linux: subprocess sandbox enforcement is handled by expanding existing
glob matches and masking them in bwrap
- Windows: policy/config/direct-tool glob support is already on `main`
from #15979; Windows subprocess sandbox paths continue to fail closed
when unreadable split filesystem carveouts require runtime enforcement,
rather than silently running unsandboxed
## Stack

# Why
Add product analytics for hook handler executions so we can understand
which hooks are running, where they came from, and whether they
completed, failed, stopped, or blocked work.
# What
- add the new `codex_hook_run` analytics event and payload plumbing in
`codex-rs/analytics`
- emit hook-run analytics from the shared hook completion path in
`codex-rs/core`
- classify hook source from the loaded hook path as `system`, `user`,
`project`, or `unknown`

## 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
- Add an MCP server environment setting with local as the default.
- Thread the default through config serialization, schema generation,
and existing config fixtures.

## 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.
## Why
For more advanced MCP usage, we want the model to be able to emit
parallel MCP tool calls and have Codex execute eligible ones
concurrently, instead of forcing all MCP calls through the serial block.
The main design choice was where to thread the config. I made this
server-level because parallel safety depends on the MCP server
implementation. Codex reads the flag from `mcp_servers`, threads the
opted-in server names into `ToolRouter`, and checks the parsed
`ToolPayload::Mcp { server, .. }` at execution time. That avoids relying
on model-visible tool names, which can be incomplete in
deferred/search-tool paths or ambiguous for similarly named
servers/tools.
## What was added
Added `supports_parallel_tool_calls` for MCP servers.
Before:
```toml
[mcp_servers.docs]
command = "docs-server"
```
After:
```toml
[mcp_servers.docs]
command = "docs-server"
supports_parallel_tool_calls = true
```
MCP calls remain serial by default. Only tools from opted-in servers are
eligible to run in parallel. Docs also now warn to enable this only when
the server’s tools are safe to run concurrently, especially around
shared state or read/write races.
## Testing
Tested with a local stdio MCP server exposing real delay tools. The
model/Responses side was mocked only to deterministically emit two MCP
calls in the same turn.
Each test called `query_with_delay` and `query_with_delay_2` with `{
"seconds": 25 }`.
| Build/config | Observed | Wall time |
| --- | --- | --- |
| main with flag enabled | serial | `58.79s` |
| PR with flag enabled | parallel | `31.73s` |
| PR without flag | serial | `56.70s` |
PR with flag enabled showed both tools start before either completed;
main and PR-without-flag completed the first delay before starting the
second.
Also added an integration test.
Additional checks:
- `cargo test -p codex-tools` passed
- `cargo test -p codex-core
mcp_parallel_support_uses_exact_payload_server` passed
- `git diff --check` passed
## Summary
- add an exec-server `envPolicy` field; when present, the server starts
from its own process env and applies the shell environment policy there
- keep `env` as the exact environment for local/embedded starts, but
make it an overlay for remote unified-exec starts
- move the shell-environment-policy builder into `codex-config` so Core
and exec-server share the inherit/filter/set/include behavior
- overlay only runtime/sandbox/network deltas from Core onto the
exec-server-derived env
## Why
Remote unified exec was materializing the shell env inside Core and
forwarding the whole map to exec-server, so remote processes could
inherit the orchestrator machine's `HOME`, `PATH`, etc. This keeps the
base env on the executor while preserving Core-owned runtime additions
like `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, unified-exec defaults, network proxy env, and
sandbox marker env.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib unified_exec::process_manager::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec_env::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec_env_tests` (compile-only; filter
matched 0 tests)
- `cargo test -p codex-config --lib shell_environment` (compile-only;
filter matched 0 tests)
- `just bazel-lock-update`
## Known local validation issue
- `just bazel-lock-check` is not runnable in this checkout: it invokes
`./scripts/check-module-bazel-lock.sh`, which is missing.

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.
Problem: The statusline reported context as an “X% left” value, which
could be mistaken for quota, and context usage was included in the
default footer.
Solution: Render configured context status items as a filling context
meter, preserve `context-used` as a legacy alias while hiding it from
the setup menu, and remove context from the default statusline. It will
still be available as an opt-in option for users who want to see it.

Problem: TUI desktop notifications are hard-gated on terminal focus, so
terminal/IDE hosts that want in-focus notifications cannot opt in.
Solution: Add a flat `[tui] notification_condition` setting (`unfocused`
by default, `always` opt-in), carry grouped TUI notification settings
through runtime config, apply method + condition together in the TUI,
and regenerate the config schema.
Allow multi_agent_v2 features to have its own temporary configuration
under `[features.multi_agent_v2]`
```
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
usage_hint_enabled = false
usage_hint_text = "Custom delegation guidance."
hide_spawn_agent_metadata = true
```
Absent `usage_hint_text` means use the default hint.
```
[features]
multi_agent_v2 = true
```
still works as the boolean shorthand.
Before this, the TUI was starting 2 app-server. One to check the login
status and one to actually start the session
This PR make only one app-server startup and defer the login check in
async, outside of the frame rendering path

## Summary
- reduce public module visibility across Rust crates, preferring private
or crate-private modules with explicit crate-root public exports
- update external call sites and tests to use the intended public crate
APIs instead of reaching through module trees
- add the module visibility guideline to AGENTS.md
## Validation
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --message-format=short` passed
before the final fix/format pass
- `just fix` completed successfully
- `just fmt` completed successfully
- `git diff --check` passed
## Summary
This adds `experimental_network.danger_full_access_denylist_only` for
orgs that want yolo / danger-full-access sessions to keep full network
access while still enforcing centrally managed deny rules.
When the flag is true and the session sandbox is `danger-full-access`,
the network proxy starts with:
- domain allowlist set to `*`
- managed domain `deny` entries enforced
- upstream proxy use allowed
- all Unix sockets allowed
- local/private binding allowed
Caveat: the denylist is best effort only. In yolo / danger-full-access
mode, Codex or the model can use an allowed socket or other
local/private network path to bypass the proxy denylist, so this should
not be treated as a hard security boundary.
The flag is intentionally scoped to `SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess`.
Read-only and workspace-write modes keep the existing managed/user
allowlist, denylist, Unix socket, and local-binding behavior. This does
not enable the non-loopback proxy listener setting; that still requires
its own explicit config.
This also threads the new field through config requirements parsing,
app-server protocol/schema output, config API mapping, and the TUI debug
config output.
## How to use
Add the flag under `[experimental_network]` in the network policy config
that is delivered to Codex. The setting is not under `[permissions]`.
```toml
[experimental_network]
enabled = true
danger_full_access_denylist_only = true
[experimental_network.domains]
"blocked.example.com" = "deny"
"*.blocked.example.com" = "deny"
```
With that configuration, yolo / danger-full-access sessions get broad
network access except for the managed denied domains above. The denylist
remains a best-effort proxy policy because the session may still use
allowed sockets to bypass it. Other sandbox modes do not get the
wildcard domain allowlist or the socket/local-binding relaxations from
this flag.

## Description
Add requirements.toml support for `allowed_approvals_reviewers =
["user", "guardian_subagent"]`, so admins can now restrict the use of
guardian mode.
Note: If a user sets a reviewer that isn’t allowed by requirements.toml,
config loading falls back to the first allowed reviewer and emits a
startup warning.
The table below describes the possible admin controls.
| Admin intent | `requirements.toml` | User `config.toml` | End result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave Guardian optional | omit `allowed_approvals_reviewers` or set
`["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | user chooses `approvals_reviewer =
"user"` or `"guardian_subagent"` | Guardian off for `user`, on for
`guardian_subagent` + `approval_policy = "on-request"` |
| Force Guardian off | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user"]` | any
user value | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off |
| Force Guardian on | `allowed_approvals_reviewers =
["guardian_subagent"]` and usually `allowed_approval_policies =
["on-request"]` | any user reviewer value; user should also have
`approval_policy = "on-request"` unless policy is forced | Effective
reviewer is `guardian_subagent`; Guardian on when effective approval
policy is `on-request` |
| Allow both, but default to manual if user does nothing |
`allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | omit
`approvals_reviewer` | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off |
| Allow both, and user explicitly opts into Guardian |
`allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` |
`approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"` and `approval_policy =
"on-request"` | Guardian on |
| Invalid admin config | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = []` | anything |
Config load error |
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` is a plain config-type module with
no dependency on `codex-core`. Moving it into `codex-config` shrinks the
core crate and gives config-only consumers a more natural dependency
boundary.
## What Changed
- Added `codex_config::types` with the moved structs, enums, constants,
and unit tests.
- Kept `codex_core::config::types` as a compatibility re-export to avoid
a broad call-site migration in this PR.
- Switched notice-table writes in `core/src/config/edit.rs` to a local
`NOTICE_TABLE_KEY` constant.
- Added the `wildmatch` runtime dependency and `tempfile` test
dependency to `codex-config`.
- Split MCP runtime/server code out of `codex-core` into the new
`codex-mcp` crate. New/moved public structs/types include `McpConfig`,
`McpConnectionManager`, `ToolInfo`, `ToolPluginProvenance`,
`CodexAppsToolsCacheKey`, and the `McpManager` API
(`codex_mcp::mcp::McpManager` plus the `codex_core::mcp::McpManager`
wrapper/shim). New/moved functions include `with_codex_apps_mcp`,
`configured_mcp_servers`, `effective_mcp_servers`,
`collect_mcp_snapshot`, `collect_mcp_snapshot_from_manager`,
`qualified_mcp_tool_name_prefix`, and the MCP auth/skill-dependency
helpers. Why: this creates a focused MCP crate boundary and shrinks
`codex-core` without forcing every consumer to migrate in the same PR.
- Move MCP server config schema and persistence into `codex-config`.
New/moved structs/enums include `AppToolApproval`,
`McpServerToolConfig`, `McpServerConfig`, `RawMcpServerConfig`,
`McpServerTransportConfig`, `McpServerDisabledReason`, and
`codex_config::ConfigEditsBuilder`. New/moved functions include
`load_global_mcp_servers` and
`ConfigEditsBuilder::replace_mcp_servers`/`apply`. Why: MCP TOML
parsing/editing is config ownership, and this keeps config
validation/round-tripping (including per-tool approval overrides and
inline bearer-token rejection) in the config crate instead of
`codex-core`.
- Rewire `codex-core`, app-server, and plugin call sites onto the new
crates. Updated `Config::to_mcp_config(&self, plugins_manager)`,
`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`, `codex-rs/core/src/connectors.rs`,
`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`,
`CodexMessageProcessor::list_mcp_server_status_task`, and
`utils/plugins/src/mcp_connector.rs` to build/pass the new MCP
config/runtime types. Why: plugin-provided MCP servers still merge with
user-configured servers, and runtime auth (`CodexAuth`) is threaded into
`with_codex_apps_mcp` / `collect_mcp_snapshot` explicitly so `McpConfig`
stays config-only.
## 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.
## Summary
This PR replaces the legacy network allow/deny list model with explicit
rule maps for domains and unix sockets across managed requirements,
permissions profiles, the network proxy config, and the app server
protocol.
Concretely, it:
- introduces typed domain (`allow` / `deny`) and unix socket permission
(`allow` / `none`) entries instead of separate `allowed_domains`,
`denied_domains`, and `allow_unix_sockets` lists
- updates config loading, managed requirements merging, and exec-policy
overlays to read and upsert rule entries consistently
- exposes the new shape through protocol/schema outputs, debug surfaces,
and app-server config APIs
- rejects the legacy list-based keys and updates docs/tests to reflect
the new config format
## Why
The previous representation split related network policy across multiple
parallel lists, which made merging and overriding rules harder to reason
about. Moving to explicit keyed permission maps gives us a single source
of truth per host/socket entry, makes allow/deny precedence clearer, and
gives protocol consumers access to the full rule state instead of
derived projections only.
## Backward Compatibility
### Backward compatible
- Managed requirements still accept the legacy
`experimental_network.allowed_domains`,
`experimental_network.denied_domains`, and
`experimental_network.allow_unix_sockets` fields. They are normalized
into the new canonical `domains` and `unix_sockets` maps internally.
- App-server v2 still deserializes legacy `allowedDomains`,
`deniedDomains`, and `allowUnixSockets` payloads, so older clients can
continue reading managed network requirements.
- App-server v2 responses still populate `allowedDomains`,
`deniedDomains`, and `allowUnixSockets` as legacy compatibility views
derived from the canonical maps.
- `managed_allowed_domains_only` keeps the same behavior after
normalization. Legacy managed allowlists still participate in the same
enforcement path as canonical `domains` entries.
### Not backward compatible
- Permissions profiles under `[permissions.<profile>.network]` no longer
accept the legacy list-based keys. Those configs must use the canonical
`[domains]` and `[unix_sockets]` tables instead of `allowed_domains`,
`denied_domains`, or `allow_unix_sockets`.
- Managed `experimental_network` config cannot mix canonical and legacy
forms in the same block. For example, `domains` cannot be combined with
`allowed_domains` or `denied_domains`, and `unix_sockets` cannot be
combined with `allow_unix_sockets`.
- The canonical format can express explicit `"none"` entries for unix
sockets, but those entries do not round-trip through the legacy
compatibility fields because the legacy fields only represent allow/deny
lists.
## Testing
`/target/debug/codex sandbox macos --log-denials /bin/zsh -c 'curl
https://www.example.com' ` gives 200 with config
```
[permissions.workspace.network.domains]
"www.example.com" = "allow"
```
and fails when set to deny: `curl: (56) CONNECT tunnel failed, response
403`.
Also tested backward compatibility path by verifying that adding the
following to `/etc/codex/requirements.toml` works:
```
[experimental_network]
allowed_domains = ["www.example.com"]
```

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.
## Summary
- move `guardian_developer_instructions` from managed config into
workspace-managed `requirements.toml`
- have guardian continue using the override when present and otherwise
fall back to the bundled local guardian prompt
- keep the generalized prompt-quality improvements in the shared
guardian default prompt
- update requirements parsing, layering, schema, and tests for the new
source of truth
## Context
This replaces the earlier managed-config / MDM rollout plan.
The intended rollout path is workspace-managed requirements, including
cloud enterprise policies, rather than backend model metadata, Statsig,
or Jamf-managed config. That keeps the default/fallback behavior local
to `codex-rs` while allowing faster policy updates through the
enterprise requirements plane.
This is intentionally an admin-managed policy input, not a user
preference: the guardian prompt should come either from the bundled
`codex-rs` default or from enterprise-managed `requirements.toml`, and
normal user/project/session config should not override it.
## Updating The OpenAI Prompt
After this lands, the OpenAI-specific guardian prompt should be updated
through the workspace Policies UI at `/codex/settings/policies` rather
than through Jamf or codex-backend model metadata.
Operationally:
- open the workspace Policies editor as a Codex admin
- edit the default `requirements.toml` policy, or a higher-precedence
group-scoped override if we ever want different behavior for a subset of
users
- set `guardian_developer_instructions = """..."""` to the full
OpenAI-specific guardian prompt text
- save the policy; codex-backend stores the raw TOML and `codex-rs`
fetches the effective requirements file from `/wham/config/requirements`
When updating the OpenAI-specific prompt, keep it aligned with the
shared default guardian policy in `codex-rs` except for intentional
OpenAI-only additions.
## Testing
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-core -p codex-config -p
codex-cloud-requirements --message-format short`
- `cargo run -p codex-core --bin codex-write-config-schema`
- `cargo fmt`
- `git diff --check`

## 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

This PR changes app and connector enablement when `requirements.toml` is
present locally or via remote configuration.
For apps.* entries:
- `enabled = false` in `requirements.toml` overrides the user’s local
`config.toml` and forces the app to be disabled.
- `enabled = true` in `requirements.toml` does not re-enable an app the
user has disabled in config.toml.
This behavior applies whether or not the user has an explicit entry for
that app in `config.toml`. It also applies to cloud-managed policies and
configurations when the admin sets the override through
`requirements.toml`.
Scenarios tested and verified:
- Remote managed, user config (present) override
- Admin-defined policies & configurations include a connector override:
`[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has the same connector configured with `enabled =
true`
- TUI/App should show connector as disabled
- Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer
- Remote managed, user config (absent) override
- Admin-defined policies & configurations include a connector override:
`[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has no entry for the the same connector
- TUI/App should show connector as disabled
- Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer
- Locally managed, user config (present) override
- Local requirements.toml includes a connector override:
`[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has the same connector configured with `enabled =
true`
- TUI/App should show connector as disabled
- Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer
- Locally managed, user config (absent) override
- Local requirements.toml includes a connector override:
`[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has no entry for the the same connector
- TUI/App should show connector as disabled
- Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer

Refactors cloud requirements error handling to carry structured error
metadata and surfaces that metadata through JSON-RPC config-load
failures, including:
* adds typed CloudRequirementsLoadErrorCode values plus optional
statusCode
* marks thread/start, thread/resume, and thread/fork config failures
with structured cloud-requirements error data
## Summary
- treat `requirements.toml` `allowed_domains` and `denied_domains` as
managed network baselines for the proxy
- in restricted modes by default, build the effective runtime policy
from the managed baseline plus user-configured allowlist and denylist
entries, so common hosts can be pre-approved without blocking later user
expansion
- add `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` to pin
the effective allowlist to managed entries, ignore user allowlist
additions, and hard-deny non-managed domains without prompting
- apply `managed_allowed_domains_only` anywhere managed network
enforcement is active, including full access, while continuing to
respect denied domains from all sources
- add regression coverage for merged-baseline behavior, managed-only
behavior, and full-access managed-only enforcement
## Behavior
Assuming `requirements.toml` defines both
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` and
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
### Default mode
- By default, the effective allowlist is
`experimental_network.allowed_domains` plus user or persisted allowlist
additions.
- By default, the effective denylist is
`experimental_network.denied_domains` plus user or persisted denylist
additions.
- Allowlist misses can go through the network approval flow.
- Explicit denylist hits and local or private-network blocks are still
hard-denied.
- When `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true`, only
managed `allowed_domains` are respected, user allowlist additions are
ignored, and non-managed domains are hard-denied without prompting.
- Denied domains continue to be respected from all sources.
### Full access
- With managed requirements present, the effective allowlist is pinned
to `experimental_network.allowed_domains`.
- With managed requirements present, the effective denylist is pinned to
`experimental_network.denied_domains`.
- There is no allowlist-miss approval path in full access.
- Explicit denylist hits are hard-denied.
- `experimental_network.managed_allowed_domains_only = true` now also
applies in full access, so managed-only behavior remains in effect
anywhere managed network enforcement is active.
## Summary
- delete the network proxy admin server and its runtime listener/task
plumbing
- remove the admin endpoint config, runtime, requirement, protocol,
schema, and debug-surface fields
- update proxy docs to reflect the remaining HTTP and SOCKS listeners
only
## Why
Enterprises can already constrain approvals, sandboxing, and web search
through `requirements.toml` and MDM, but feature flags were still only
configurable as managed defaults. That meant an enterprise could suggest
feature values, but it could not actually pin them.
This change closes that gap and makes enterprise feature requirements
behave like the other constrained settings. The effective feature set
now stays consistent with enterprise requirements during config load,
when config writes are validated, and when runtime code mutates feature
flags later in the session.
It also tightens the runtime API for managed features. `ManagedFeatures`
now follows the same constraint-oriented shape as `Constrained<T>`
instead of exposing panic-prone mutation helpers, and production code
can no longer construct it through an unconstrained `From<Features>`
path.
The PR also hardens the `compact_resume_fork` integration coverage on
Windows. After the feature-management changes,
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` was
overflowing the libtest/Tokio thread stacks on Windows, so the test now
uses an explicit larger-stack harness as a pragmatic mitigation. That
may not be the ideal root-cause fix, and it merits a parallel
investigation into whether part of the async future chain should be
boxed to reduce stack pressure instead.
## What Changed
Enterprises can now pin feature values in `requirements.toml` with the
requirements-side `features` table:
```toml
[features]
personality = true
unified_exec = false
```
Only canonical feature keys are allowed in the requirements `features`
table; omitted keys remain unconstrained.
- Added a requirements-side pinned feature map to
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, threaded it through source-preserving
requirements merge and normalization in `codex-config`, and made the
TOML surface use `[features]` (while still accepting legacy
`[feature_requirements]` for compatibility).
- Exposed `featureRequirements` from `configRequirements/read`,
regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schema artifacts, and updated the
app-server README.
- Wrapped the effective feature set in `ManagedFeatures`, backed by
`ConstrainedWithSource<Features>`, and changed its API to mirror
`Constrained<T>`: `can_set(...)`, `set(...) -> ConstraintResult<()>`,
and result-returning `enable` / `disable` / `set_enabled` helpers.
- Removed the legacy-usage and bulk-map passthroughs from
`ManagedFeatures`; callers that need those behaviors now mutate a plain
`Features` value and reapply it through `set(...)`, so the constrained
wrapper remains the enforcement boundary.
- Removed the production loophole for constructing unconstrained
`ManagedFeatures`. Non-test code now creates it through the configured
feature-loading path, and `impl From<Features> for ManagedFeatures` is
restricted to `#[cfg(test)]`.
- Rejected legacy feature aliases in enterprise feature requirements,
and return a load error when a pinned combination cannot survive
dependency normalization.
- Validated config writes against enterprise feature requirements before
persisting changes, including explicit conflicting writes and
profile-specific feature states that normalize into invalid
combinations.
- Updated runtime and TUI feature-toggle paths to use the constrained
setter API and to persist or apply the effective post-constraint value
rather than the requested value.
- Updated the `core_test_support` Bazel target to include the bundled
core model-catalog fixtures in its runtime data, so helper code that
resolves `core/models.json` through runfiles works in remote Bazel test
environments.
- Renamed the core config test coverage to emphasize that effective
feature values are normalized at runtime, while conflicting persisted
config writes are rejected.
- Ran `compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` inside
an explicit 8 MiB test thread and Tokio runtime worker stack, following
the existing larger-stack integration-test pattern, to keep the Windows
`compact_resume_fork` test slice from aborting while a parallel
investigation continues into whether some of the underlying async
futures should be boxed.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core feature_requirements_ -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_requirements_toml_produces_expected_constraints -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core compact_resume_fork -- --nocapture`
- Re-ran the built `codex-core` `tests/all` binary with
`RUST_MIN_STACK=262144` for
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` to confirm
the explicit-stack harness fixes the deterministic low-stack repro.
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- This still fails locally in unrelated integration areas that expect
the `codex` / `test_stdio_server` binaries or hit existing `search_tool`
wiremock mismatches.
## Docs
`developers.openai.com/codex` should document the requirements-side
`[features]` table for enterprise and MDM-managed configuration,
including that it only accepts canonical feature keys and that
conflicting config writes are rejected.
## Why
`execpolicy` currently keys `prefix_rule()` matching off the literal
first token. That works for rules like `["/usr/bin/git"]`, but it means
shared basename rules such as `["git"]` do not help when a caller passes
an absolute executable path like `/usr/bin/git`.
This PR lays the groundwork for basename-aware matching without changing
existing callers yet. It adds typed host-executable metadata and an
opt-in resolution path in `codex-execpolicy`, so a follow-up PR can
adopt the new behavior in `unix_escalation.rs` and other call sites
without having to redesign the policy layer first.
## What Changed
- added `host_executable(name = ..., paths = [...])` to the execpolicy
parser and validated it with `AbsolutePathBuf`
- stored host executable mappings separately from prefix rules inside
`Policy`
- added `MatchOptions` and opt-in `*_with_options()` APIs that preserve
existing behavior by default
- implemented exact-first matching with optional basename fallback,
gated by `host_executable()` allowlists when present
- normalized executable names for cross-platform matching so Windows
paths like `git.exe` can satisfy `host_executable(name = "git", ...)`
- updated `match` / `not_match` example validation to exercise the
host-executable resolution path instead of only raw prefix-rule matching
- preserved source locations for deferred example-validation errors so
policy load failures still point at the right file and line
- surfaced `resolvedProgram` on `RuleMatch` so callers can tell when a
basename rule matched an absolute executable path
- preserved host executable metadata when requirements policies overlay
file-based policies in `core/src/exec_policy.rs`
- documented the new rule shape and CLI behavior in
`execpolicy/README.md`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-execpolicy`
- added coverage in `execpolicy/tests/basic.rs` for parsing, precedence,
empty allowlists, basename fallback, exact-match precedence, and
host-executable-backed `match` / `not_match` examples
- added a regression test in `core/src/exec_policy.rs` to verify
requirements overlays preserve `host_executable()` metadata
- verified `cargo test -p codex-core --lib`, including source-rendering
coverage for deferred validation errors
## Why
Compiling `codex-rs/core` is a bottleneck for local iteration, so this
change continues the ongoing extraction of config-related functionality
out of `codex-core` and into `codex-config`.
The goal is not just to move code, but to reduce `codex-core` ownership
and indirection so more code depends on `codex-config` directly.
## What Changed
- Moved config diagnostics logic from
`core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` into
`config/src/diagnostics.rs`.
- Updated `codex-core` to use `codex-config` diagnostics types/functions
directly where possible.
- Removed the `core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` shim module
entirely; the remaining `ConfigToml`-specific calls are in
`core/src/config_loader/mod.rs`.
- Moved `CONFIG_TOML_FILE` into `codex-config` and updated existing
references to use `codex_config::CONFIG_TOML_FILE` directly.
- Added a direct `codex-config` dependency to `codex-cli` for its
`CONFIG_TOML_FILE` use.
## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` previously implied broad read access and could
not express a narrower read surface.
This change introduces an explicit read-access model so we can support
user-configurable read restrictions in follow-up work, while preserving
current behavior today.
It also ensures unsupported backends fail closed for restricted-read
policies instead of silently granting broader access than intended.
## What
- Added `ReadOnlyAccess` in protocol with:
- `Restricted { include_platform_defaults, readable_roots }`
- `FullAccess`
- Updated `SandboxPolicy` to carry read-access configuration:
- `ReadOnly { access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- `WorkspaceWrite { ..., read_only_access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- Preserved existing behavior by defaulting current construction paths
to `ReadOnlyAccess::FullAccess`.
- Threaded the new fields through sandbox policy consumers and call
sites across `core`, `tui`, `linux-sandbox`, `windows-sandbox`, and
related tests.
- Updated Seatbelt policy generation to honor restricted read roots by
emitting scoped read rules when full read access is not granted.
- Added fail-closed behavior on Linux and Windows backends when
restricted read access is requested but not yet implemented there
(`UnsupportedOperation`).
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema and TypeScript artifacts,
including `ReadOnlyAccess`.
## Compatibility / rollout
- Runtime behavior remains unchanged by default (`FullAccess`).
- API/schema changes are in place so future config wiring can enable
restricted read access without another policy-shape migration.
`codex-core` had accumulated config loading, requirements parsing,
constraint logic, and config-layer state handling in a single crate.
This change extracts that subsystem into `codex-config` to reduce
`codex-core` rebuild/test surface area and isolate future config work.
## What Changed
### Added `codex-config`
- Added new workspace crate `codex-rs/config` (`codex-config`).
- Added workspace/build wiring in:
- `codex-rs/Cargo.toml`
- `codex-rs/config/Cargo.toml`
- `codex-rs/config/BUILD.bazel`
- Updated lockfiles (`codex-rs/Cargo.lock`, `MODULE.bazel.lock`).
- Added `codex-core` -> `codex-config` dependency in
`codex-rs/core/Cargo.toml`.
### Moved config internals from `core` into `config`
Moved modules to `codex-rs/config/src/`:
- `core/src/config/constraint.rs` -> `config/src/constraint.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/cloud_requirements.rs` ->
`config/src/cloud_requirements.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/config_requirements.rs` ->
`config/src/config_requirements.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/fingerprint.rs` -> `config/src/fingerprint.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/merge.rs` -> `config/src/merge.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/overrides.rs` -> `config/src/overrides.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/requirements_exec_policy.rs` ->
`config/src/requirements_exec_policy.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/state.rs` -> `config/src/state.rs`
`codex-config` now re-exports this surface from `config/src/lib.rs` at
the crate top level.
### Updated `core` to consume/re-export `codex-config`
- `core/src/config_loader/mod.rs` now imports/re-exports config-loader
types/functions from top-level `codex_config::*`.
- Local moved modules were removed from `core/src/config_loader/`.
- `core/src/config/mod.rs` now re-exports constraint types from
`codex_config`.
