• [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

  ## Why
  
  `ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
  variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
  represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
  TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
  is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.
  
  This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
  generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
  in the stacked follow-up.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
  field.
  - Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
  `#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
  `#[schemars(skip)]`.
  - Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
  accessors.
  - Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
  - Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
  IDs were required.
  - Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
  consistently.
  
  The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
  must remain a unit variant.
  
  ## Test plan

• unified-exec: preserve PathUri through exec-server (#28681)

  ## Why
  
  It should be possible for app-server to handle "foreign" OS paths in
  unified_exec working directories, allowing e.g. a Linux app-server to
  run processes on e.g. a Windows exec-server.
  
  ## What
  
  Convert the core unified_exec cwd values to use `PathUri`.
  
  Adds fallible path conversion in several places to try to minimize the
  scope of this change. The only time this change suppresses errors from
  converting `PathUri` to an `AbsolutePathBuf` is when the turn is
  configured with no sandboxing at all to allow us to make progress
  testing without sandboxing.
  
  Future changes to apply_patch and sandboxing will clean up these error
  paths.
  
  A tool's cwd is resolved from joining a model-provided workdir to the
  environment's cwd. When using `AbsolutePathBuf::join()`, an
  absolute-path workdir would overwrite the environment's cwd and we would
  resolve permissions/sandboxing against the model-provided path. This
  change extends `PathUri::join()` to also treat an absolute rhs as an
  override of the base/lhs.
  
  This also removes some coverage from the remove_env_windows tests until
  a follow-up converts foreign paths in command exec events correctly.
  
  ## Breaking Changes
  
  When using `AbsolutePathBuf::join()` for workdir resolution, we ended up
  resolving tilde-prefixed paths against the app-server's `$HOME`, e.g.
  `~/foo/bar` becomes `/home/anp/foo/bar`. It's difficult to do this with
  `PathUri` joining, so after offline discussion this PR no longer
  implements it.
  
  A quick check of some power users' rollouts suggests that models don't
  actually generate home-prefixed absolute working directories for their
  spawns, so this shouldn't have any real blast radius.

• [ez][codex-rs] Support apps._default.default_tools_approval_mode (#27965)

  [from codex]
  
  ## Summary
  
  - add `default_tools_approval_mode` to `[apps._default]` and expose it
  through app-server v2 `config/read`
  - apply it after managed, per-tool, and per-app approval settings,
  before the built-in `auto` fallback
  - document the precedence, regenerate config/app-server schemas, and add
  unit plus end-to-end approval coverage
  
  ## Configuration
  
  ```toml
  [apps._default]
  default_tools_approval_mode = "prompt"
  ```
  
  The effective precedence is managed requirements, tool-specific
  `approval_mode`, app-specific `default_tools_approval_mode`,
  `apps._default.default_tools_approval_mode`, then `auto`.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `just write-config-schema`
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `just write-app-server-schema --experimental`
  - `just test -p codex-core app_tool_policy`
  - `just test -p codex-core mcp_turn_metadata`

• app-server: keep the model cache warm (#28699)

  ## Why
  
  The app server is long-lived, but its shared model cache otherwise
  refreshes only when a caller needs it. Once the five-minute cache
  expires, starting a thread or calling `model/list` can wait for
  `/models` on the request path.
  
  Refresh the cache in the background before it expires so foreground
  callers normally use fresh local state.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Start an app-server worker that refreshes models immediately and then
  every three minutes using the existing models-manager API.
  - Hold only a weak reference to the models manager between refreshes, so
  the worker does not extend its lifetime.
  - Stop scheduling refreshes when the app-server lifecycle handle is shut
  down or dropped. A refresh already in progress is allowed to finish.
  - Adjust affected app-server test fixtures to distinguish the background
  `/models` probe from the connection they are testing.
  
  The existing models-manager cache, refresh strategies, auth handling,
  ETag behavior, and concurrency semantics are unchanged.
  
  ## Testing
  
  -
  `models_refresh_worker::tests::refreshes_immediately_periodically_and_stops_when_dropped`
  -
  `suite::v2::remote_control::listen_off_honors_persisted_remote_control_enable`

• Add join key for MAv2 inter-agent messages (#28561)

  ## Summary
  This keeps inter-agent communication on the existing raw response item
  path and adds a join key for MAv2 tool calls.
  
  MAv2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, and `followup_task` now stamp the
  originating tool call id into `ResponseItemMetadata.source_call_id` on
  the raw `ResponseItem::AgentMessage`. App-server clients can join that
  raw item back to the existing tool/activity event by call id, while
  using the raw agent message's existing sender, receiver, and content
  fields.
  
  No new app-server `ThreadItem` or notification type is added.

• [codex] Persist built-in image results reported as generating (#28656)

  ## Why
  
  #27920 stopped persisting image-generation items unless their status was
  `completed`, preventing failed standalone extension items with empty
  results from being saved. Built-in image generation can instead emit a
  terminal `response.output_item.done` containing a complete base64 PNG
  while the item status remains `generating`. In that case, app-server
  emits no `savedPath`, so Codex Apps can render the inline image but
  cannot expose a file artifact.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Persist image-generation items whenever `result` contains image data.
  Failed terminal items still have empty results and remain unpersisted.
  - Update the existing built-in image-generation integration test to
  cover a terminal `generating` item and verify both `saved_path` and the
  written PNG bytes.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Confirmed with a raw built-in websocket trace: the image progressed
  through `in_progress`, `generating`, and `partial_image`, then emitted
  one `response.output_item.done` with `status: "generating"` and a
  complete PNG result.
  - `just test -p codex-core builtin_image_generation_call_persisted` is
  currently blocked before test execution by a pre-existing compile error
  in `thread-store/src/thread_metadata_sync.rs:171`.

• [codex] Test code-mode variable truncation (#28471)

  ## Summary
  
  Code mode has two separate truncation points: the nested tool result
  returned to JavaScript and the code-mode output later recorded for the
  model. These tests now verify those behaviors independently.
  
  - Report whether `result.output` was truncated before printing it.
  - Verify omitted or sufficiently large nested limits produce `Variable
  truncated: False`, while allowing the printed value to be truncated
  downstream.
  - Verify an explicit nested limit produces `Variable truncated: True`
  when the command output exceeds it.
  - Use a token-policy model fixture so downstream truncation is visible
  as `…N tokens truncated…`.
  - Align the explicit nested-truncation expectation with the warning
  header.
  
  This PR changes test coverage only; runtime truncation behavior is
  unchanged.
  
  ## Validation

• [codex] core: restore absolute turn context cwd (#28629)

  ## Why
  
  #28152 jumped the gun on moving the rollout format to store URIs, and
  would likely break compat with some features that don't go through the
  same types as the core logic.
  
  ## What
  
  Make `TurnContextItem.cwd` an `AbsolutePathBuf` again, remove test added
  for `PathUri` serialization in rollouts. Also drops a bunch of error
  paths that are no longer needed.

• core: render remote environment cwd natively (#28152)

  ## Why
  
  Model-visible `<environment_context>` should match the environment of
  the executor, not of the app server.
  
  Stacked on #28146.
  
  ## What
  
  - Keep selected environment cwd values as `PathUri` while building
  environment context.
  - Render cwd text using the path convention represented by the URI, with
  the canonical URI as a fallback.
  - Preserve compatibility with legacy `TurnContextItem.cwd` values when
  reconstructing and diffing context.
  - Extend the Wine-backed remote Windows test to assert that the model
  sees `powershell` and `C:\windows`.

• app-server: preserve target-native environment cwd (#28146)

  ## Why
  
  app-server may run on a different OS from the selected exec-server
  environment. Parsing that environment’s cwd with the Codex host’s path
  rules prevents thread startup.
  
  ## What
  
  Carry environment cwd values as `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
  boundary and `PathUri` internally. Existing tool-call schemas and
  relative-path behavior stay host-native; remaining local-only consumers
  convert explicitly and leave follow-up TODOs.
  
  The Wine integration test verifies app-server can start a thread and
  complete an ordinary turn with a Windows environment cwd from Linux.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `bazel test //codex-rs/core/tests/remote_env_windows:smoke-test

  - focused app-server environment-selection and protocol schema tests

• Clarify model-generated and legacy app path types (#28577)

  ## Why
  
  `ApiPathString` kind of implies that it can be used anywhere we pull a
  path out of JSON, but it's not really appropriate for tool arguments
  when the model might generate relative paths.
  
  Prefer `String` for model-generated paths and we can handle the
  conversion per feature for now and define a shared abstraction later if
  it makes sense.
  
  # What
  
  Rename `ApiPathString` to `AppLegacyPathString` to clarify its role.
  
  Expand the `path-types` skill to tell the model to leave tool args as
  bare strings.

• code-mode: extend test coverage to lock in cell lifecycle (#28468)

  This PR establishes the intended behavior as an executable contract
  before a refactor of the cell runtime begins. It also fixes cases where
  a second observer or termination request could replace an existing
  response channel and leave the original caller unresolved.
  
  ### Behavior codified
  - A cell can yield output and subsequently resume to completion.
  - A caller can run a cell until it has no immediately runnable work,
  receive its accumulated output and outstanding tool-call IDs, and then
  resume the same cell when the awaited work is available.
  - Each cell admits one active observer:
     - a second observer receives an explicit busy error
     - the existing observer remains registered and is not displaced
  - A natural result (conclusion of the js module) that has already
  reached the cell controller wins over a later termination request.
  - Otherwise, termination preempts execution and resolves both:
    - the active observer, if present
    - the caller requesting termination
  - Repeated termination requests are rejected while termination is
  already in progress.
  - Terminal responses are sent only after outstanding callback work has
  been handled:
  - natural completion drains notifications and cancels outstanding tool
  calls
  - termination cancels and drains both notification and tool callbacks.
  - Cell removal and cell_closed notification happen after callback
  cleanup

• [codex] Route MCP file uploads through environment filesystem (#27923)

  ## Why
  
  Codex Apps tools can mark arguments with `openai/fileParams`, but the
  execution path resolved and opened those files directly on the host.
  That bypassed the selected turn environment and prevented annotated file
  arguments from working with remote environments.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - resolve annotated file arguments against the primary turn environment
  - read file metadata and contents through that environment's sandboxed
  `ExecutorFileSystem`
  - reject files over the 512 MiB limit from metadata before reading or
  transferring them
  - retain the buffered upload-size check as defense in depth
  - make the OpenAI upload API accept a filename and buffered contents
  instead of owning local filesystem access
  - describe the model-visible argument as a path in the primary
  environment
  
  This builds on #27927, which added `size` to internal filesystem
  metadata.

• core: surface terminal subagent errors to parent agents (#28375)

  ## Why
  
  When a subagent exhausts its retries, it emits an `Error`, but the
  generic task lifecycle then emits `TurnComplete(None)`. That completion
  used to overwrite the subagent's `Errored` status with
  `Completed(None)`, so the parent received an empty completion
  notification.
  
  This made a failed child look indistinguishable from a child that
  completed without an answer. In unattended or long-running multi-agent
  work, the root could silently continue without knowing that delegated
  work failed or how to restart it.
  
  ## Behavior
  
  Before, a terminal stream failure was reduced to an empty completion:
  
  ```text
  <subagent_notification>
  {"agent_path":"/root/worker","status":{"completed":null}}
  </subagent_notification>
  ```
  
  Now the parent receives the actual terminal error, bounded to 1,000
  tokens, together with an actionable recovery hint:
  
  ```text
  <subagent_notification>
  {
    "agent_path": "/root/worker",
    "status": {
      "errored": "stream disconnected before completion: stream closed before response.completed"
    },
    "next_action": "This agent's turn failed. If you still need this agent, use `followup_task` to give it another task."
  }
  </subagent_notification>
  ```
  
  The notification remains queue-only: it does not wake the root or replay
  the failed request. The root sees it at the next sampling boundary and
  can use `followup_task` to start a new turn for that agent.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added terminal-error precedence to the [agent status
  reducer](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/e95fcfe2bb6a02f1a75650afa20048859f556511/codex-rs/core/src/agent/status.rs#L23-L34),
  so a closing `TurnComplete` cannot erase an immediately preceding
  `Errored` status.
  - Made MultiAgentV2 completion forwarding use the retained session
  status instead of re-deriving `Completed(None)` from the final event.
  - Extended the [subagent notification
  fragment](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/e95fcfe2bb6a02f1a75650afa20048859f556511/codex-rs/core/src/context/subagent_notification.rs#L6-L60)
  with a `next_action` for terminal errors and a hard cap on model-visible
  error text.
  - Kept successful completions and interrupted turns unchanged.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added a status-reducer test proving that `Errored` survives the
  trailing `TurnComplete`.
  - Added an integration test that exhausts a subagent's stream retries
  and verifies the exact `agent_message` delivered to the parent,
  including the error and `followup_task` guidance.
  - Re-ran the existing successful-completion and interrupted-turn
  notification tests.

• [tests] Keep Apps out of generic core test harness (#28508)

  ## Summary
  
  - disable the stable Apps feature in the generic `test_codex()`
  integration-test harness
  - keep Apps-specific tests explicit: their builders re-enable Apps and
  point it at a local mock server
  
  ## Why
  
  Generic tests that use dummy ChatGPT auth were also enabling the
  host-owned `codex_apps` MCP server. That made unrelated tests contact
  `chatgpt.com` and wait for MCP startup, causing the Bazel timeouts
  observed on #28368.
  
  The generic harness should be hermetic and should not start an external
  service that the test did not request. This is test-only; production
  Apps behavior is unchanged. The broader optional-MCP startup behavior is
  being handled separately in #28407.

• feat: render typed envelopes for multi-agent v2 messages (#28368)

  ## Why
  
  Multi-agent v2 messages need a consistent, model-visible envelope that
  identifies what kind of interaction occurred, who sent it, and which
  agent it targets. Previously, encrypted deliveries exposed only
  `encrypted_content`, while child completion used the legacy
  `<subagent_notification>` shape. That meant the client could not
  consistently present `NEW_TASK`, `MESSAGE`, and `FINAL_ANSWER` using the
  same format.
  
  This change adds the routing envelope as plaintext while keeping task
  and message payloads encrypted. No new Responses API field is required:
  an encrypted delivery is represented as an `input_text` header
  immediately followed by its existing `encrypted_content` item.
  
  Every envelope now follows this shape:
  
  ```text
  Message Type: <NEW_TASK | MESSAGE | FINAL_ANSWER>
  Task name: <recipient agent path>
  Sender: <author agent path>
  Payload:
  <message payload>
  ```
  
  ## Message types
  
  ### `NEW_TASK`
  
  `NEW_TASK` is used when the recipient should begin a new turn, including
  an initial `spawn_agent` task and a later `followup_task`.
  
  For a root agent spawning `/root/worker`, the request contains a
  plaintext envelope followed by the encrypted task:
  
  ```json
  {
    "type": "agent_message",
    "author": "/root",
    "recipient": "/root/worker",
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "input_text",
        "text": "Message Type: NEW_TASK\nTask name: /root/worker\nSender: /root\nPayload:\n"
      },
      {
        "type": "encrypted_content",
        "encrypted_content": "<encrypted task payload>"
      }
    ]
  }
  ```
  
  Conceptually, the model receives:
  
  ```text
  Message Type: NEW_TASK
  Task name: /root/worker
  Sender: /root
  Payload:
  Review the authentication changes and report any regressions.
  ```
  
  ### `MESSAGE`
  
  `MESSAGE` is used for a queued `send_message` delivery. It communicates
  with an existing agent without starting a new turn.
  
  For `/root/worker` reporting progress to the root agent, the request
  contains:
  
  ```json
  {
    "type": "agent_message",
    "author": "/root/worker",
    "recipient": "/root",
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "input_text",
        "text": "Message Type: MESSAGE\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\n"
      },
      {
        "type": "encrypted_content",
        "encrypted_content": "<encrypted message payload>"
      }
    ]
  }
  ```
  
  Conceptually, the model receives:
  
  ```text
  Message Type: MESSAGE
  Task name: /root
  Sender: /root/worker
  Payload:
  The protocol tests pass; I am checking the resume path now.
  ```
  
  ### `FINAL_ANSWER`
  
  `FINAL_ANSWER` is emitted when a child agent reaches a terminal state
  and reports its result to its parent. Completion payloads are already
  available locally, so the complete envelope is represented as plaintext
  rather than as a plaintext header plus encrypted content.
  
  For `/root/worker` completing work for the root agent, the request
  contains:
  
  ```json
  {
    "type": "agent_message",
    "author": "/root/worker",
    "recipient": "/root",
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "input_text",
        "text": "Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER\nTask name: /root\nSender: /root/worker\nPayload:\nNo regressions found."
      }
    ]
  }
  ```
  
  The model-visible form is:
  
  ```text
  Message Type: FINAL_ANSWER
  Task name: /root
  Sender: /root/worker
  Payload:
  No regressions found.
  ```
  
  Errored, shut down, and missing agents also use `FINAL_ANSWER`, with a
  terminal-status description in the payload.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Render `NEW_TASK` or `MESSAGE` in
  `InterAgentCommunication::to_model_input_item`, based on whether the
  encrypted delivery starts a turn.
  - Replace the multi-agent v2 `<subagent_notification>` completion
  payload with a model-visible `FINAL_ANSWER` envelope.
  - Document `Task name`, `Sender`, and `Payload` consistently in the
  multi-agent developer instructions.
  - Prevent local-only history projections from treating an encrypted
  message's plaintext header as the complete assistant message.
  - Preserve rollout-trace interaction edges when an agent message
  contains both plaintext and encrypted content.
  
  Legacy multi-agent behavior remains unchanged.

• [codex] Use local environment for user shell commands (#28163)

  ## Why
  
  User shell commands still read the legacy turn cwd and session shell
  even though execution context is now owned by selected turn
  environments. App-server also defines `thread/shellCommand` as a
  local-host escape hatch, so it must use an available local environment
  even when a remote environment is primary.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add `ResolvedTurnEnvironments::local()` to find the selected local
  environment.
  - Resolve the user shell command cwd and shell from that local
  `TurnEnvironment`.
  - Emit the standard `shell is unavailable in this session` error when no
  selected local environment or resolved local shell is available.
  - Add an integration test covering `/shell` without a local environment.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `just test -p codex-core

• [codex] Use expect in integration tests (#28441)

  The workspace denies `clippy::expect_used` in production. Although
  `clippy.toml` allows `expect` in tests, Bazel Clippy compiles
  integration-test helper code in a way that does not receive that
  exemption, which encouraged verbose `unwrap_or_else(... panic!(...))`
  and equivalent `match`/`let else` forms.
  
  This allows `clippy::expect_used` once at each integration-test crate
  root (including aggregated suites and test-support libraries), then
  replaces manual panic-based Result and Option unwraps with
  `expect`/`expect_err`. Standalone `tests/*.rs` files remain their own
  crate roots. Intentional assertion and unexpected-variant panics remain
  unchanged, and the production `expect_used = "deny"` lint remains in
  place.
  
  The cleanup is mechanical and net-negative in line count.

• [codex] Add interruptible sleep tool (#28429)

  ## Why
  
  Models sometimes need to pause briefly while waiting for external work,
  but using a shell command for that delay ties the wait to a process and
  does not naturally resume when new turn input arrives.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - add a built-in `sleep` tool behind the under-development `sleep_tool`
  feature
  - accept a bounded `duration_ms` argument, matching the millisecond
  convention used by unified exec
  - end the sleep early when either steered user input or mailbox input
  arrives
  - include elapsed wall-clock time in completed and interrupted outputs
  - emit a dedicated core `SleepItem` through `item/started` and
  `item/completed`
  - expose the sleep item as app-server v2 `ThreadItem::Sleep` and retain
  it in reconstructed thread history
  - regenerate the configuration schema for the new feature flag
  - regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures

• [codex] Bind shell snapshots to retained thread environments (#28421)

  ## Why
  
  Shell snapshots are currently session-scoped even though shell and cwd
  are properties of a selected turn environment. That makes snapshot
  refresh depend on separate session-cwd plumbing, prevents retained
  environments from retaining their snapshot work, and can make snapshot
  construction use a different shell than command execution.
  
  This follows #27955 by making the retained thread-environment service
  own environment snapshot lifecycles. Session configuration remains the
  requested selection state, while `ThreadEnvironments` remains the source
  of successfully resolved environments.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Configure the shell-snapshot builder before initial environment
  resolution.
  - Start each local environment snapshot task when its `TurnEnvironment`
  is built and retain that shared task while environment ID and cwd still
  match.
  - Inherit retained environment snapshots into spawned child threads.
  - Carry the selected `TurnEnvironment` through shell runtimes so
  snapshot construction and command execution use the same
  environment-specific shell and cwd.
  - Load project instructions and warm plugins/skills after initial
  environment resolution.
  - Continue decoding invalid UTF-8 instruction files lossily without
  emitting a startup warning.
  - Keep requested selections in `SessionConfiguration`; failed or
  duplicate resolutions only affect the resolved environment snapshot.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
  - `just test -p codex-home instructions` (6 passed)
  - Focused environment, instruction, shell-snapshot, and user-shell tests
  (84 passed)
  - Focused shell-snapshot, user-shell, and unified-exec tests (126
  passed; two event-timing tests passed on retry)

• Run core integration tests against a Wine-backed Windows executor (#28401)

  ## Why
  
  We want to exercise a linux app-server against a windows exec-server
  without having to repeat every test case. This approach has slight
  precedent in the remote docker test setup.
  
  ## What
  
  Run the shared `codex-core` integration suite against Windows
  exec-server behavior from Linux. This makes cross-OS path and shell
  regressions visible while keeping unsupported cases owned by individual
  tests.
  
  - Add `local`, `docker`, and `wine-exec` test environment selection with
  legacy Docker compatibility.
  - Extend `codex_rust_crate` to generate a sharded Wine-exec variant
  using a cross-built Windows server and pinned Bazel Wine/PowerShell
  runtimes.
  - Teach remote-aware helpers about Windows paths and track temporary
  incompatibilities with source-local `skip_if_wine_exec!` calls and
  follow-up reasons.

  ## Summary
  - Add `includeStartupContext` to realtime start requests so callers can
  explicitly skip Codex startup context while keeping the backend prompt
  - Thread the new flag through protocol types, request processing, and
  realtime session config
  - Update app-server docs and coverage for the new default and opt-out
  behavior
  
  ## Testing
  - Added protocol serialization coverage for `includeStartupContext`

• Add realtime speech append control (#27917)

  ## Why
  
  Realtime voice harness tuning needs app-side control over what backend
  Codex text is spoken. Backend orchestrator text is written for a reading
  UI, so automatically speaking every preamble, progress update, or final
  assistant message can make the realtime voice model too chatty.
  
  For experimentation, clients need two simple controls: keep app/client
  text-item injection on the existing item-create path, and add an
  explicit speakable path that app code can call only when it wants
  realtime to speak. Automatic Codex output also needs an opt-in way to
  switch from the protocol's default speakable path to regular realtime
  items, with a caller-provided prefix so prompt wording can be tuned
  outside core.
  
  The default remains unchanged: if a client omits the new start fields
  and never calls `appendSpeech`, automatic backend output continues down
  the existing speakable path for the selected realtime protocol.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds experimental `thread/realtime/appendSpeech` for app-provided
  speakable text.
  - Keeps existing `thread/realtime/appendText` as the item-create API for
  app-provided realtime text items.
  - Adds `codexResponsesAsItems` / `codex_responses_as_items` on
  `thread/realtime/start` to send automatic Codex responses with
  `conversation.item.create` instead of the protocol's default speakable
  output path.
  - Adds `codexResponseItemPrefix` / `codex_response_item_prefix` so
  clients can prepend experiment instructions to those automatic Codex
  response items.
  - Keeps literal `conversation.handoff.append` routing scoped to the v1
  speakable path; v2 default speech uses its item/function-output plus
  `response.create` behavior.
  - Removes the earlier public silent-context API and hardcoded
  silent-context prefix.
  - Updates realtime tests to cover default automatic speakable behavior,
  opt-in automatic item-create behavior, and explicit `appendSpeech`
  behavior.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-api`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server realtime_conversation`

• Deflake realtime handoff steering test (#28300)

  ## Summary
  - keep the realtime mock websocket open for the handoff steering test
  after scripted responses
  - avoid racing the mock server close before the standalone handoff
  append is observed, which was showing up as a Windows timeout in CI
  
  __Details__:
  Failures in samples seem to be caused by:
  1. The mock websocket sends conversation.handoff.requested.
  2. The mock immediately closes the websocket because
  start_websocket_server(...) defaults to close_after_requests: true.
  3. On Windows, that close often surfaces as os error 10053 / 10054.
  4. The realtime stream shuts down before the routed handoff finishes
  creating/steering the follow-up request.
  5. The test waits for the expected follow-up event and times out.
  
  The PR changes only step 2: for this test, the mock websocket stays open
  after sending the scripted handoff event. The same handoff event is
  still sent, and the test still asserts the important steering behavior:
  1. first Responses request has the original prompt
  2. first request does not contain realtime delegation
  3. second Responses request does contain the realtime delegation
  
  ## Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `just test -p codex-core --test all
  suite::realtime_conversation::inbound_handoff_request_steers_active_turn`

• Respect blocking PostToolUse hooks in code mode (#28365)

  ## Summary
  
  Make blocking hook behavior reliable for tools invoked from code mode.
  
  Previously, a `PostToolUse` hook could block a completed tool result,
  but code mode would still return the original typed result to
  JavaScript. The hook appeared blocked in hook telemetry while the
  running script continued with the result.
  
  This change:
  
  - rejects the nested JavaScript tool promise when `PostToolUse` blocks
  - normalizes `decision: "block"` and exit code 2 to the same blocking
  behavior
  - surfaces the hook feedback as the rejected promise's error
  - adds end-to-end coverage for the relevant PreToolUse and PostToolUse
  interactions
  
  ## Hook semantics in code mode
  
  | Hook behavior | Code-mode result |
  |---|---|
  | PreToolUse block | Reject the promise before the tool executes |
  | PreToolUse `updatedInput` | Execute the rewritten invocation and
  return its result |
  | PostToolUse `decision: "block"` | Execute the tool, then reject the
  promise with the hook reason |
  | PostToolUse exit code 2 | Same behavior as `decision: "block"` |
  | PostToolUse `continue: false` | Preserve the existing feedback-only
  behavior; do not reject the promise |
  
  ## Test coverage
  
  Added or strengthened end-to-end coverage proving that:
  
  - a PreToolUse block rejects the JavaScript promise before execution
  - a PreToolUse input rewrite executes only the rewritten command
  - JavaScript receives the rewritten command's result
  - PostToolUse `decision: "block"` rejects after the command executes
  - PostToolUse exit code 2 has the same behavior
  - the hook observes the original completed tool response
  - the blocked original result does not reach JavaScript
  - existing direct-mode replacement behavior remains intact
  - `continue: false` without a reason produces deterministic fallback
  feedback

• feat(core): add metadata field to ResponseItem (#28355)

  ## Description
  
  This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
  Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
  populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
  `ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
  
  This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
  omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
  without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
  same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
  before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
  this field.
  
  My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
  passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
  `metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
  - Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
  truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
  rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
  app-server schemas/types.
  - Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
  preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
  - Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
  new optional field.

• core: let steer interrupt wait_agent (#28341)

  ## Why
  
  `wait_agent` can block for a long timeout while waiting for sub-agent
  mailbox activity. Although same-turn user steer is accepted during that
  tool call, the input remains pending until the wait returns, so an
  explicit request to change direction can appear unresponsive.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Notify active `wait_agent` calls when user input is steered into the
  current turn.
  - Check for already-pending steer input when subscribing so input that
  races with tool startup is not missed.
  - Distinguish mailbox activity, steered input, and timeout outcomes,
  returning `Wait interrupted by new input.` for the steer path.
  - Update the `wait_agent` tool description to document the early-return
  behavior.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just test -p codex-core input_queue_`
  - `just test -p codex-core wait_agent`
  
  The coverage includes steer notification before and after subscription,
  plus an end-to-end test that verifies the interrupted wait result and
  steered user input are both included exactly once in the follow-up model
  request.

• Represent dynamic tools with explicit namespaces internally (#27365)

  Follow-up to #27356.
  
  ## Stack note
  
  This PR changes Codex's internal dynamic-tool shape while leaving
  `thread/start` unchanged. App-server therefore converts the existing
  per-tool input into explicit functions and namespaces before passing it
  to core.
  
  [#27371](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/27371) updates
  `thread/start` to use the same explicit shape and removes this temporary
  conversion.
  
  ## Why
  
  Dynamic tools repeat namespace metadata on every function. Core should
  keep one explicit namespace with its member tools so descriptions and
  membership stay consistent across sessions and runtime planning.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Represent dynamic tools as top-level functions or explicit namespaces
  in protocol and session state.
  - Read old flat rollout metadata and write the canonical hierarchy.
  - Flatten namespace members only when registering callable tools.
  - Keep `thread/start.dynamicTools` flat for now and normalize it at the
  app-server boundary.
  
  New builds can read old rollout metadata. Older builds cannot read newly
  written hierarchical metadata.
  
  ## Test plan

• [codex] exec-server honors remote environment cwd and shell (#28122)

  ## Why
  
  Next slice needed to make progress on the `remote_env_windows` test is
  to support passing a Windows cwd for the remote environment and using
  that environment's native shell. This lets the test run a real Windows
  process instead of only recording an early path or shell mismatch.
  
  ## What
  
  - change `TurnEnvironmentSelection.cwd` from `AbsolutePathBuf` to
  `PathUri`
  - convert local cwd values to URIs when constructing selections
  - preserve a remote primary cwd instead of replacing it with the local
  legacy fallback
  - prefer the selected environment's discovered shell for unified exec,
  falling back to the session shell when unavailable
  - convert back to a host-native absolute path at current native-only
  consumer boundaries
  - reject or deny unsupported foreign cwd values at the existing
  request-permissions boundary, with TODOs for its future migration
  - extend the hermetic Wine test to execute Windows PowerShell in
  `C:\windows` and verify successful process completion
  - record the current app-server rejection against the same Wine-backed
  remote Windows fixture when its cwd is supplied as a native Windows path

• [codex] Dedupe plugin MCPs by app declaration name (#27607)

  ## Context
  
  This is the next step in the plugin auth-routing stack. The earlier PRs
  make `PluginsManager` auth-aware and move the broad App/MCP surface
  decision into that layer. This PR narrows the ChatGPT/SIWC behavior so
  we only hide a plugin MCP server when it conflicts with an App
  declaration of the same name.
  
  In product terms: if a plugin exposes both an App route and MCP route
  for `foo`, ChatGPT/SIWC sessions should use the App route for `foo`. If
  the same plugin also exposes a separate MCP server like `foo2`, that MCP
  server should remain available.
  
  ```json
  // .app.json
  {
    "apps": {
      "foo": {
        "id": "connector_abc"
      }
    }
  }
  ```
  
  ```json
  // .mcp.json
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "foo": {
        "url": "https://mcp.foo.com/mcp"
      },
      "foo2": {
        "url": "https://mcp.foo2.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
  ```
  
  ## Stack
  
  - PR1: #27652 seed plugin manager auth at construction.
  - PR2: #27459 route plugin surfaces by auth mode.
  - PR3: #27607 dedupe plugin MCP servers by App declaration name.
  - PR4: #27602 preserve plugin Apps in connector listings.
  - PR5: #27461 skip install-time plugin MCP OAuth for matching App
  routes.
  
  ## Summary
  
  - Preserve App declaration names in loaded plugin metadata.
  - Keep public effective App outputs as deduped connector IDs for
  existing callers.
  - For ChatGPT/SIWC, suppress only plugin MCP servers whose names match
  declared App names.

  ## Why
  
  This is the second-to-last place in the exec-server protocol that needs
  to migrate to URIs to support cross-OS operation.
  
  ## What

  - Keep the cwd URI-shaped through core and rmcp producers, converting it
  to `AbsolutePathBuf` only in `LocalProcess::start_process`.
  - Reject non-native cwd URIs before launch and update the affected

• [codex] Send turn state through compact requests (#28002)

  ## Context
  
  Inline compaction is part of the active logical turn. Compact requests
  and the sampling requests around them should use the same turn state,
  including when compaction is the first request to establish it.
  
  ## Change
  
  Pass the turn-scoped `OnceLock` directly to inline v1 compaction so
  `/responses/compact` includes an established value in the existing HTTP
  header. Capture `x-codex-turn-state` from the compact response into that
  same lock, allowing pre-turn compact to establish the value that
  subsequent sampling reuses.
  
  V2 compact already uses the normal Responses HTTP/WebSocket path and
  continues to share the same `OnceLock` without separate plumbing. The
  first returned value wins for the logical turn.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  Integration coverage verifies that:
  
  - pre-turn v1 compact can establish state for the first sampling request
  - inline v1 compact receives established state over HTTP
  - inline v2 compact reuses established state over HTTP
  - inline v2 compact reuses established state over WebSocket
  
  CI validates the full change.

• [codex] Send request-scoped turn state over WebSocket (#27996)

  ## Context
  
  Turn state is scoped to one logical turn, but the WebSocket path
  currently exchanges it through upgrade headers, which are scoped to the
  physical connection. A connection may be reused across turns, so its
  handshake cannot represent the turn lifecycle reliably.
  
  ## Change
  
  Exchange turn state on each WebSocket response request instead:
  
  - send an established value in `response.create.client_metadata`
  - read the returned value from the existing `response.metadata` event
  - retain the first value in the turn-scoped `ModelClientSession`
  `OnceLock`
  - start the next logical turn without state, even when it reuses the
  same WebSocket connection
  
  This gives WebSocket requests the same first-value-wins contract as the
  existing HTTP path.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  Integration coverage verifies that:
  
  - WebSocket replays returned state on same-turn follow-ups
  - later response metadata does not replace the first value
  - state resets at the logical turn boundary without requiring a
  reconnect
  
  CI validates the full change.
  
  ## Stack
  
  This is 1/2. #28002 builds on this request-scoped transport to carry
  established state through compact requests.

• [codex] Add hermetic Wine exec-server test (#27937)

  ## Why
  
  We want to make it possible for an app-server orchestrator on one OS to
  control an exec-server on another host running a different OS. In
  practice this kinda already works if you get lucky and the two hosts
  have the same path format, but we mangle quite a lot of operations if
  either end is Windows.
  
  This test starts exercising that interaction, although right now the
  initial bootstrap fails. Future changes will expand the test's
  assertions to match improved support.
  
  ## What
  
  Stacked on #27964. This adds a small Windows exec-server fixture and a
  Linux protocol smoke test using the reusable Wine harness, covering
  Windows environment discovery, non-TTY `cmd.exe` execution, output, exit
  status, and working directory.
  
  Once we've got the full codex binary cross-building under Bazel we could
  consider moving to the real binary instead of the stripped down
  exec-server-only binary used here.

• [codex] Gate plugin MCP servers by auth route (#27459)

  ## Context
  
  Some plugins expose both Apps and MCP servers. This PR moves auth-aware
  surface projection into `core-plugins::PluginsManager`, so callers get a
  consistent effective plugin view. Later PRs narrow the conflict rule and
  update listing/install paths.
  
  The high level goal of this PR is to set up the plumbing to
  conditionally filter App/MCP in the plugin manager layer. We start by
  removing MCP servers when using SIWC/Codex-backend auth, and removing
  Apps when using API-key-style auth.
  
  This PR is now stacked on #27652, which contains only the constructor
  plumbing for seeding `PluginsManager` with the current auth mode.
  
  ## Stack
  
  - PR1: #27652 seed plugin manager auth at construction.
  - PR2: #27459 route plugin surfaces by auth mode.
  - PR3: #27607 dedupe plugin MCP servers by App declaration name.
  - PR4: #27602 preserve plugin Apps in connector listings.
  - PR5: #27461 skip install-time plugin MCP OAuth for matching App
  routes.
  
  ## Summary
  
  - API-key/non-ChatGPT routes hide plugin Apps and keep plugin MCPs.
  - ChatGPT/SIWC with Apps enabled keeps plugin Apps and suppresses MCPs
  for dual-surface plugins.
  - MCP-only plugins stay available for ChatGPT/SIWC sessions.
  - Cached plugin load outcomes are re-projected when auth mode changes.

• [codex] make PathUri::from_abs_path infallible (#27976)

  ## Why
  
  `PathUri::from_abs_path` can fail for absolute paths that do not have a
  normal `file:` URI representation, forcing filesystem call sites to
  handle a conversion error even though the original path can be preserved
  losslessly.
  
  ## What
  
  Make `from_abs_path` infallible and migrate its callers. Unrepresentable
  paths use `file:///%00/bad/path/<base64>`, encoding Unix bytes or
  Windows UTF-16LE; `to_abs_path` validates and decodes that fallback. The
  leading encoded null reserves a namespace that cannot collide with a
  real Unix or Windows path, and fallback URIs remain opaque to lexical
  path operations.
  
  ## Validation
  
  Added path-URI coverage for Unix null and non-UTF-8 paths, Windows
  device/verbatim and non-Unicode paths, serialization, malformed
  fallbacks, opaque lexical operations, invalid native payloads, and
  literal `/bad/path` collision resistance.

• [codex] Let generic test turns inherit their environment (#27972)

  ## Why
  
  The paired thread-environment migration changed several generic test
  turn helpers from supplying a fallback cwd to explicitly selecting the
  local environment. That changes their meaning under
  `build_with_remote_env()`: remote-only fixtures cannot resolve the
  forced local selection, so the tests fail before exercising apply-patch,
  RMCP, unified-exec, or view-image behavior.
  
  Generic helpers should inherit the environment selected by their
  fixture. Tests that intentionally exercise local routing continue to
  select the local environment explicitly.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Remove forced `local_selections(...)` overrides from the generic
  apply-patch, RMCP, unified-exec, and view-image turn helpers.
  - Remove the imports made unused by those deletions.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - Not run locally; this is a test-fixture-only change and the `full-ci`
  branch will exercise the affected remote shards.

• [codex] add roles to realtime append text (#27936)

  ## Summary
  
  Add an explicit `user` or `developer` role to
  `thread/realtime/appendText` and propagate it through the realtime input
  queue into `conversation.item.create`. Older JSON clients that omit the
  field continue to default to `user`.
  
  This lets app-provided context such as memory retain developer authority
  without bypassing app-server through a renderer-owned data channel. The
  app-server schemas, API documentation, and focused protocol and
  websocket coverage are updated with the new contract.
  
  The Codex Apps consumer is tracked in
  [openai/openai#1025261](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1025261).

• feat: use encrypted local secrets for CLI auth (#27539)

  ## Why
  
  Windows Credential Manager limits generic credential blobs to 2,560
  bytes. Large serialized ChatGPT auth payloads can exceed that limit, so
  keyring-mode CLI auth needs a backend that keeps only the encryption key
  in the OS keyring and stores the payload in Codex's encrypted
  local-secrets file.
  
  This is the third PR in the encrypted-auth stack:
  
  1. #27504 — feature and config selection
  2. #27535 — auth-specific local-secrets namespaces
  3. This PR — CLI auth implementation and activation
  4. MCP OAuth implementation and activation
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added encrypted CLI-auth storage using the `CliAuth` secrets
  namespace.
  - Preserved direct keyring storage for platforms/configurations where it
  remains selected.
  - Selected the backend consistently for login, logout, refresh,
  device-code login, auth loading, and login restrictions.
  - Threaded resolved bootstrap/full config through CLI, exec, TUI,
  app-server account handling, cloud config, and cloud tasks.
  - Removed stale `auth.json` fallback data after successful encrypted
  saves and removed encrypted, direct-keyring, and fallback data during
  logout.
  - Added storage and integration coverage for both direct and encrypted
  keyring modes.
  
  MCP OAuth persistence is intentionally left to the next PR.

• Support plaintext agent messages (#27830)

  ## Why
  
  Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
  model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
  Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
  content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
  envelope inside an assistant message.
  
  With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
  paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
  author and recipient metadata.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
  regenerate the affected app-server schemas
  - preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
  of converting it to assistant text
  - record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
  - persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
  `trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
  request
  - reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
  truncation behavior
  - remove request-time assistant-content parsing
  - preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
  memory inputs
  - normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
  traces without treating inbound messages as child results
  - cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
  deterministic mailbox synchronization

• realtime: add AVAS architecture override (#27720)

  ## Summary
  
  Adds a `RealtimeConversationArchitecture` option for realtime
  conversation startup, with `realtimeapi` as the default and `avas` as an
  opt-in architecture.
  
  The AVAS path is limited to realtime v1 conversational WebRTC starts,
  and WebRTC call creation appends `intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`
  to `/v1/realtime/calls`. The existing sideband websocket still joins by
  `call_id`.
  
  This also exposes the per-session architecture override through
  app-server v2 `thread/realtime/start` params and updates the config
  schema for `[realtime].architecture`.

• [ez][codex-rs] Support approvals reviewer in app defaults (#27075)

  [from codex]
  
  ## Summary
  
  - add `approvals_reviewer` support to `[apps._default]`
  - resolve connected-app reviewers in per-app, app-default, then global
  order
  - expose the setting through the v2 config API and regenerate schema
  fixtures
  
  ## Context
  
  PR #25167 added `apps.<connector_id>.approvals_reviewer`, but the shared
  app defaults table could not specify the reviewer. This extends the same
  behavior to `[apps._default]` while preserving per-app overrides.
  
  Managed `allowed_approvals_reviewers` requirements still constrain both
  default and per-app values. A disallowed app value falls back to the
  global reviewer, and non-app MCP servers continue using the global
  reviewer.

• [code-mode] Reject remote image URLs from output helpers (#27732)

  ## Summary
  
  - reject HTTP(S) image URLs from the shared code-mode output-image
  normalization path
  - return a concise model-visible tool error so the model can recover on
  its next turn
  - apply the targeted rejection to both `image()` and `generatedImage()`
  - leave other non-empty image URL values to existing downstream handling
  
  The returned error is:
  
  > Tool call failed: remote image URLs are not supported in tool outputs.
  Pass a base64 data URI instead
  
  ## Why
  
  Responses Lite cannot lower a remote image URL emitted from a structured
  tool output. Rejecting HTTP(S) values in the Codex harness preserves the
  tool-call metadata and gives the model a recoverable next turn instead
  of invalidating the sample.
  
  ## Test coverage
  
  The regression is covered primarily by a `test_codex()` agent
  integration test that simulates the Responses API exchange and asserts
  the failed model-visible exec output. A supplemental runtime test covers
  both `http://` and `https://` inputs across both image output helpers.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-code-mode`
  - `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-code-mode-protocol`
  - `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-core
