Codex forces `core.fsmonitor=false` on internal Git commands so a
repository cannot select an executable fsmonitor helper. This also
disables Git's built-in daemon for `status`, `diff`, and `ls-files`,
turning those worktree reads into full scans in large repositories.
Read the raw effective `core.fsmonitor` value and preserve it only when
Git interprets it as true and advertises built-in daemon support through
`git version --build-options`. Query uncommon boolean spellings back
through Git using the exact effective value. Unset, false, helper paths,
malformed values, probe failures, and unsupported Git builds continue to
force `core.fsmonitor=false`.
Centralize this policy in `git-utils` while keeping process execution in
the existing local and workspace-command adapters. Probe once per
worktree workflow and reuse the result for its Git commands, including
the TUI `/diff` path. Metadata-only commands and repository discovery
remain disabled without probing. Each probe and requested Git process
keeps its own existing timeout, and the decision is not cached because
layered and conditional Git configuration can change while Codex runs.

## Why
`TurnDiffTracker` computes a display root so turn diffs can be rendered
repo-relative. For remote exec-server turns, the selected turn `cwd` may
exist only inside the selected environment, but `run_turn` was
discovering the git root through the local host filesystem. When that
lookup failed, nested remote-session diffs fell back to the nested `cwd`
and showed `/tmp/...`-prefixed paths instead of repo-relative paths.
## What changed
- Resolve the diff display root from the primary selected turn
environment when one exists, using that environment's filesystem and
`cwd`.
- Add `codex_git_utils::get_git_repo_root_with_fs(...)` so git-root
discovery can run against an `ExecutorFileSystem`, including remote
environments.
- Reuse that helper from `resolve_root_git_project_for_trust(...)` and
add coverage for `.git` gitdir-pointer detection.
## Validation
- Devbox Bazel: `//codex-rs/core:core-unit-tests
--test_filter=get_git_repo_root_with_fs_detects_gitdir_pointer`
- Devbox Docker-backed remote-env repro: `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test
--test_filter=apply_patch_turn_diff_paths_stay_repo_relative_when_session_cwd_is_nested`
## What
- Internal Git helper commands now ignore configured hook directories
during repository bookkeeping.
## Why
- These helper flows should stay consistent even when a repository has
hook-directory configuration of its own.
## How
- Pass a command-local `core.hooksPath` override in the shared helper
path and the Git-info helper path.
- Add regressions for the baseline index rewrite flow and the metadata
status flow.
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --manifest-path
/Users/bookholt/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml --all --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path
/Users/bookholt/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-git-utils`
- `cargo test --manifest-path
/Users/bookholt/code/codex/codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-core
test_get_has_changes_`
## Summary
- keep Git metadata/status subprocesses independent of repository
`core.fsmonitor` configuration
- preserve existing working-tree state reporting while making the helper
behavior more predictable
- add regression coverage for `get_has_changes` when a repository
defines an fsmonitor command
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo test -p codex-core test_get_has_changes_`
- `cargo test -p codex-git-utils`
## 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.
- create `codex-git-utils` and move the shared git helpers into it with
file moves preserved for diff readability
- move the `GitInfo` helpers out of `core` so stacked rollout work can
depend on the shared crate without carrying its own git info module

## 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`
