## Summary
Introduces the default-off `respect_system_proxy` feature flag used to
gate first-class system PAC/proxy support for Codex-owned native
clients.
With the feature disabled or absent, behavior remains unchanged. This PR
establishes the configuration and managed-requirement surface; proxy
discovery and request routing are implemented by follow-up PRs.
## Configuration
User configuration uses the standard boolean feature form:
```toml
[features]
respect_system_proxy = true
```
Managed feature requirements use the corresponding boolean key. The
effective runtime configuration is exposed as a boolean and defaults to
`false`.
## Implementation
- Registers `respect_system_proxy` as an under-development, default-off
feature.
- Resolves user configuration and managed feature requirements into
`Config.respect_system_proxy`.
- Provides bootstrap resolution for startup paths that must evaluate the
feature before full configuration loading completes.
- Uses the standard feature CLI and config-editing behavior.
- Excludes `features.respect_system_proxy` from project-local
configuration.
- Updates the generated configuration schema.
## End-user behavior
- No networking behavior changes when the feature is absent or disabled.
- Enabling the feature makes the boolean available to the native
proxy-routing implementation in follow-up PRs.
- Repository-local configuration cannot enable the feature.
## Test coverage
Covers scalar configuration and CLI override resolution, managed
requirement constraints, bootstrap resolution, and project-local
filtering.
## 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
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-core sleep_tool_follows_feature_gate`
- `just test -p codex-core any_new_input_interrupts_sleep`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
sleep_emits_started_and_completed_items`
## Why
`terminal_resize_reflow` is now stable and should behave as always on.
Keeping the disabled runtime paths around made the feature look
configurable even though the rollout is complete, and old config could
still suggest there was a supported off mode.
## What Changed
- Marked `terminal_resize_reflow` as `Stage::Removed` while keeping it
default-enabled for compatibility.
- Ignored `[features].terminal_resize_reflow` config entries so stale
`false` settings no longer affect the effective feature set.
- Removed TUI branches that depended on the flag being disabled, so
draw, replay buffering, stream finalization, and resize scheduling all
assume resize reflow is active.
- Simplified resize smoke coverage to exercise the always-on behavior
only.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-tui resize_reflow`
- `just test -p codex-tui initial_replay_buffer
thread_switch_replay_buffer`
## Intent
Keep Bazel and Starlark files consistently formatted without requiring
contributors to install or version buildifier themselves.
## Implementation
- Add a SHA-256-pinned, cross-platform DotSlash manifest for buildifier
v8.5.1.
- Run buildifier from the shared `just fmt` and `just fmt-check` driver,
with Windows-safe explicit DotSlash invocation.
- Provision DotSlash in formatting CI and contributor devcontainers, and
document the source-build prerequisite.
- Apply the initial mechanical buildifier formatting baseline.
## Summary
This PR promotes Mentions 2.0 (unified TUI mention popup) to stable and
enables it by default.
- Keep `mentions_v2` as a temporary rollback path to the legacy split
popups (`--disable mentions_v2`).
- Add feature-default and snapshot coverage for the default experience.
## Prior work
- [#19068 — Unified mentions in
TUI](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19068)
- [#22375 — Use plugin/list to get plugins for
mentions](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22375)
- [#23363 — Unified mentions tweaks and rendering
polish](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23363)
## Test plan
- Launch Codex without any feature overrides.
- Type `@` in the TUI composer.
- Confirm the unified mentions menu opens and displays filesystem,
plugin, and skill results.
## Summary
Startup warnings for under-development features only recognized bare
boolean toggles like `features.foo = true`. An upcoming feature will use
table-format config, so `features.foo = { enabled = true, ... }` needs
to count as an explicit opt-in too.
This updates the warning predicate to recognize structured tables with
`enabled = true`, while leaving tables without that field unwarned.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-features
unstable_warning_event_mentions_enabled_structured_under_development_feature`
## Why
Windows Credential Manager limits generic credential blobs to 2,560
bytes. The encrypted local secrets backend avoids storing large
serialized auth payloads directly in the OS keyring, but selecting that
backend needs an independently reviewable feature/config layer before
the auth and secrets implementation is wired in.
## What Changed
- Added the stable `secret_auth_storage` feature, enabled by default on
Windows and disabled by default elsewhere.
- Added `AuthKeyringBackendKind` and config resolution for full and
bootstrap config loading.
- Applied managed feature requirements when resolving the bootstrap auth
backend.
- Updated the generated config schema and added focused tests.
This is the base PR for #17931. The auth, secrets, MCP, CLI, TUI, and
app-server implementation remains in that follow-up PR.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core
resolve_bootstrap_auth_keyring_backend_kind_uses_secret_auth_storage_feature`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
The full `just test -p codex-core` run compiled successfully and ran
2,690 tests; 2,589 passed, one was flaky, and 101 environment-sensitive
tests failed because this shell injects a `pyenv` rehash warning into
command output or because sandboxed subprocesses timed out.
## Why
Remote compaction v2 is ready to become the default for providers that
already support remote compaction. Leaving it behind an
under-development opt-in keeps eligible sessions on the legacy
remote-compaction path.
This does not broaden provider eligibility: OpenAI and Azure move to v2,
while Bedrock and OSS providers retain their existing local-compaction
behavior.
## What changed
- Mark `remote_compaction_v2` stable and enable it by default.
- Make tests that intentionally cover legacy remote compaction
explicitly disable v2.
- Update parity coverage so v2 exercises the production default and only
legacy mode opts out.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core
auto_compact_runs_after_resume_when_token_usage_is_over_limit
auto_compact_counts_encrypted_reasoning_before_last_user
auto_compact_runs_when_reasoning_header_clears_between_turns
responses_lite_compact_request_uses_lite_transport_contract`
## Why
The model should be able to see bounded context-window budget metadata
when the `token_budget` feature is enabled. The full-window message is
only injected with full context, while normal turns get a smaller
follow-up only when reported usage first crosses a budget threshold.
## What changed
- Added the `TokenBudget` feature flag.
- Added `<token_budget>` developer fragments for full context-window
metadata and current-window remaining tokens.
- Inserted the threshold message during normal turn handling by
comparing token usage before and after sampling, avoiding persistent
threshold bookkeeping.
- Added core integration coverage for full-context-only metadata and
25/50/75 percent threshold messages.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
Adds complete client-side image preparation behind the default-off
`resize_all_images` feature flag.
When enabled, local image producers defer decoding and resizing. Images
are prepared centrally before insertion into conversation history,
covering user input, `view_image`, and structured tool-output images.
## Behavior
- Processes base64 `data:` images in messages and function/custom tool
outputs.
- Leaves non-data URLs, including HTTP(S) URLs, unchanged.
- Applies image-detail budgets:
- `high` and omitted: 2048px maximum dimension and 2.5K 32px patches.
- `original`: 6000px maximum dimension and 10K 32px patches.
- `auto`: uses the same 2048px / 2.5K-patch budget as high.
- `low`: unsupported and replaced with an actionable placeholder.
- Preserves original image bytes when no resize or format conversion is
needed.
- Enforces the shared 1 GiB encoded and decoded data-URL sanity limits.
- Replaces only an image that fails preparation, preserving sibling
content and tool-output metadata.
- Uses bounded placeholders distinguishing generic processing failures,
oversized images, and unsupported `low` detail.
- Prepares resumed and forked history before installing it as live
history without modifying persisted rollouts.
## Flag-Off Behavior
When `resize_all_images` is disabled:
- Existing local user-input and `view_image` processing remains
unchanged.
- Existing decoding and error behavior remains unchanged.
- Arbitrary tool-output images are not processed.
- HTTP(S) image URLs continue to be forwarded unchanged.

## Why
External-agent import should be initiated deliberately instead of
interrupting eligible TUI startups. This cleanup removes the blocking
startup flow before the replacement import experience is introduced
later in the stack.
## What changed
- remove the startup-blocking external-agent migration prompt
- remove the now-unused external migration feature gate
- remove the obsolete TUI app-server migration wrappers
- retain the dormant picker behind a module-scoped dead-code allowance
until the next stack item wires it back in
- keep normal TUI startup focused on entering Codex immediately

**This PR is stack item 1.**
## Stack
- Base: #27191
- This PR is the third vertical and should be reviewed against
`jif/external-plugins-2`, not `main`.
## Why
#27191 moves the host-owned Apps MCP registration behind an extension
contributor, but deliberately preserves the existing endpoint-selection
feature while that contribution contract lands. App-server can therefore
resolve the server through extensions, yet the hosted plugin endpoint is
still selected through temporary `apps_mcp_path_override` plumbing.
That is not the long-term plugin model. A plugin can bundle skills,
connectors, MCP servers, and hooks, and those components do not all need
the same source or execution environment. In particular, an
authenticated HTTP MCP server can expose plugin capabilities directly
from a backend without an executor or an orchestrator filesystem.
This PR completes that hosted vertical. App-server's MCP extension now
owns the aggregate hosted plugin runtime at `/ps/mcp`. Connector actions
continue to arrive as MCP tools, while backend-provided skills arrive as
MCP resources and use Codex's existing resource list/read paths. No
second backend client, skill filesystem, or generic plugin activation
framework is introduced.
The backend route remains the hosted implementation. This change
replaces Codex's temporary endpoint-selection mechanism, not the service
behind the endpoint.
## What changed
### Hosted plugin runtime
The MCP extension now contributes `codex_apps` as the hosted plugin
runtime rather than as a configurable Apps endpoint:
- `https://chatgpt.com` resolves to
`https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/mcp`;
- a bare custom ChatGPT base resolves to `/api/codex/ps/mcp`;
- the existing product-SKU header and ChatGPT authentication behavior
are preserved;
- executor availability is never consulted for this streamable HTTP
transport.
The same MCP connection carries both component shapes supported by the
hosted endpoint:
- connector actions are discovered and invoked as MCP tools;
- hosted skills are enumerated and read as MCP resources through the
existing `list_mcp_resources` and `read_mcp_resource` paths.
This keeps component access in the subsystem that already owns the
protocol instead of downloading backend skills into an orchestrator
filesystem or inventing a parallel hosted-skill client.
### Explicit runtime ordering
`McpManager` now resolves the reserved `codex_apps` entry in three
ordered phases:
1. install the legacy Apps fallback for compatibility;
2. apply ordered extension `Set` or `Remove` overlays;
3. apply the final ChatGPT-auth gate without synthesizing the server
again.
This ordering is important:
- an ordinary configured or plugin MCP server cannot claim the
auth-bearing `codex_apps` name;
- an extension-contributed hosted runtime wins over the fallback;
- an extension `Remove` remains authoritative;
- a host without the MCP extension retains the legacy Apps endpoint and
current local-only behavior.
The temporary `legacy_apps_mcp_loader_enabled` coordination flag is no
longer needed.
### Remove the path override
The `apps_mcp_path_override` feature and its runtime plumbing are
removed, including:
- the feature registry entry and structured feature config;
- `Config` and `McpConfig` fields;
- config schema output;
- config-lock materialization;
- URL override handling in `codex-mcp`.
Existing boolean and structured forms still deserialize as ignored
compatibility input. They are omitted from new serialized config, and
config-lock comparison normalizes the removed input so older locks
remain replayable.
### App-server coverage
App-server MCP fixtures now serve the hosted route at
`/api/codex/ps/mcp`. Existing resource-read and tool/elicitation flows
therefore exercise the extension-owned endpoint rather than succeeding
through the legacy fallback.
The stack also adds the missing `codex_chatgpt::connectors` re-export
for the manager-backed connector helper introduced in #27191.
## Compatibility
- App-server installs the extension and uses `/ps/mcp` for the hosted
runtime.
- CLI and other hosts that do not install the extension retain the
legacy Apps endpoint.
- Apps disabled or non-ChatGPT authentication removes `codex_apps` from
the effective runtime view.
- Existing local plugins, local skills, executor-selected skills,
configured MCP servers, and MCP OAuth behavior are otherwise unchanged.
- Backend plugin enablement remains account/workspace state owned by the
hosted endpoint; this PR does not add thread-local backend plugin
selection.
## Architectural fit
The stack now proves two independent runtime shapes:
1. #27184 resolves filesystem-backed skills through the executor that
owns a selected root.
2. #27191 and this PR resolve a backend-hosted HTTP MCP through an
extension with no executor.
Together they preserve the intended separation:
- selection identifies a plugin/root when explicit selection is needed;
- each component's owning extension resolves its concrete access
mechanism;
- execution stays with the runtime required by that component;
- existing skills, MCP, connector, and hook subsystems remain the
downstream consumers.
## Planned follow-ups
1. **Executor stdio MCP:** selecting an executor plugin registers a
manifest-declared stdio MCP server and executes it in the environment
that owns the plugin.
2. **Optional backend selection:** only if CCA needs thread-local
selection distinct from backend account/workspace enablement, add a
concrete backend-owned capability location and surface those selected
skills through the skills catalog.
3. **Connector metadata and hooks:** activate those plugin components
through their existing owning subsystems, with executor hooks remaining
environment-bound.
4. **Propagation and persistence:** define explicit resume, fork,
subagent, refresh, and environment-removal semantics once selected roots
have multiple real consumers.
5. **Local convergence:** migrate legacy local skill, MCP, connector,
and hook paths behind their owning extensions one vertical at a time,
then remove duplicate core managers and compatibility plumbing after
parity.
## Verification
Coverage in this change exercises:
- extension-owned `/backend-api/ps/mcp` registration without an
executor;
- preservation of the legacy endpoint in hosts without the extension;
- extension `Set` and `Remove` precedence over the legacy fallback;
- ChatGPT-auth gating for the reserved server;
- hosted MCP resource reads with and without an active thread;
- connector tool invocation and MCP elicitation through the hosted
route;
- ignored boolean and structured forms of the removed path override;
- config-lock replay compatibility for the removed feature.
`cargo check -p codex-features -p codex-mcp-extension -p
codex-app-server` passes. Tests and Clippy were not run locally under
the current development instruction; CI provides the full validation
pass.
## Summary
- add `Feature::TerminalVisualizationInstructions` as
`UnderDevelopment`, disabled by default
- keep terminal visualization instructions inside the TUI package
- append them to existing developer instructions for TUI start, resume,
and fork flows only when enabled
- intentionally do not apply them to `codex exec`
## Rollout
Control behavior is unchanged. TUI dogfooders can enable
`terminal_visualization_instructions`; no default user receives the new
terminal-specific instructions.
The shared visualization-selection rule is supplied separately through
the `codex_proxy_model_3` Statsig layer for every target Codex model
slug in the gated cohort. This TUI feature determines how to render an
appropriate visualization on the terminal surface; the model-layer
treatment determines when to use one.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
terminal_visualization_instructions_are_gated_for_all_tui_thread_flows
--lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-features --lib`
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
- `git diff --check`
- GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 real prompt-pipeline smoke tests: both visualized
the positive mapping case, abstained on the negative route case, and
passed exact prompt-stack verification on CLI and App
- refreshed onto current `main` with a clean merge and reran the focused
validation
The full 53-probe all-model treatment comparison and requested
production coding evals remain rollout gates before broadening beyond
the initial employee cohort.
This PR remains open for normal human review.
## Why
The Responses websocket client no longer needs to send a follow-up
`response.processed` request after a turn response has already been
recorded. Keeping that extra acknowledgement path adds feature-gated
control flow and a second websocket request shape that no longer carries
useful behavior.
## What Changed
- Removed the `response.processed` websocket request type and sender.
- Removed the `responses_websocket_response_processed` feature flag and
schema entry.
- Removed turn and remote-compaction plumbing that only tracked response
IDs to send the acknowledgement.
- Removed tests that existed solely to cover the deleted feature path.
## Validation
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-api -p codex-features`
## Why
Research and training setups need to control which tool namespaces
appear inside code mode's nested `tools` surface without disabling those
tools entirely. This makes it possible to train against a deliberately
reduced nested-tool setup while preserving the normal direct and
deferred tool paths.
## What
- Extend `features.code_mode` to accept structured configuration while
preserving the existing boolean syntax.
- Add an exact `excluded_tool_namespaces` list under
`[features.code_mode]`:
```toml
[features.code_mode]
enabled = true
excluded_tool_namespaces = ["mcp__codex_apps", "multi_agent_v1"]
```
- Filter matching canonical `ToolName` namespaces when constructing code
mode's nested router and code-mode-specific direct tool descriptions.
- Keep excluded tools registered, directly exposed in mixed code mode,
and discoverable through top-level `tool_search` when otherwise
eligible.
- Derive deferred nested-tool guidance after namespace filtering so the
`exec` description does not advertise excluded-only deferred tools.
- Preserve the boolean/table representation when materializing config
locks and update the generated config schema.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`
- `just test -p codex-core
lock_contains_prompts_and_materializes_features`
- `just test -p codex-core
excluded_deferred_namespaces_do_not_enable_nested_tool_guidance`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_excludes_configured_nested_tool_namespaces`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
## Why
`shell_zsh_fork` and unified exec need to remain independently
controllable for enterprise rollouts, but we also need a third mode that
composes them. That composed mode is intended to preserve unified exec
command lifecycle support while letting the zsh fork provide more
accurate `execv(2)` interception.
Enabling `unified_exec_zsh_fork` by itself is intentionally not
sufficient. It is a composition gate, not a dependency-enabling
shortcut:
- `unified_exec` selects the PTY-backed unified exec tool.
- `shell_zsh_fork` opts into the zsh fork backend.
- `unified_exec_zsh_fork` only allows those two already-enabled modes to
be composed so local zsh unified exec commands can launch through the
zsh fork.
This separation is deliberate. Enterprises and staged rollouts must be
able to enable or disable unified exec and zsh-fork independently. If
`unified_exec_zsh_fork` implied either dependency, then enabling one
under-development composition flag would silently activate a shell
backend that the configured feature set left disabled.
This PR introduces only the configuration and planning gate for that
composition. Existing `shell_zsh_fork` behavior continues to use the
standalone shell tool unless the new composition feature is explicitly
enabled alongside both dependencies.
## What Changed
- Added the under-development feature flag `unified_exec_zsh_fork`.
- Added `UnifiedExecFeatureMode` so the three input feature flags
collapse into `Disabled`, `Direct`, or `ZshFork` mode before tool
planning.
- Updated tool selection so zsh-fork composition requires
`unified_exec`, `shell_zsh_fork`, and `unified_exec_zsh_fork`.
- Kept the existing standalone zsh-fork shell tool behavior when only
`shell_zsh_fork` is enabled.
- Updated config schema output for the new feature flag.
## Verification
- Added feature and tool-config coverage for the new gate.
- Added planner coverage proving `shell_zsh_fork` remains standalone
until composition is explicitly enabled.
- Ran focused tests for `codex-features`, `codex-tools`, and the
affected `codex-core` planner case.

## Rollout compression stack
This stack splits #24941 into reviewable steps for local rollout
compression. The design is intentionally staged:
1. Teach readers, listing, search, and lookup to understand compressed
rollouts.
2. Make append and resume paths materialize compressed rollouts back to
plain JSONL before writing.
3. Add a disabled-by-default worker that can compress cold archived
rollouts behind `local_thread_store_compression`.
The key invariant is that writers append to plain `.jsonl`. A
`.jsonl.zst` file is a cold/read representation; if a write is needed,
the compressed file is materialized back to plain JSONL first. Readers
prefer plain `.jsonl` when both forms exist and can fall back to the
compressed sibling during transitions.
The worker is deliberately the last PR and remains behind an
under-development feature flag. It currently scans only
`archived_sessions`, not active `sessions`, because active sessions have
the highest resume/append race risk. That means this stack does not yet
compress most unarchived local history.
## Known race / follow-up
The remaining unresolved design question is writer/compressor
coordination. Even for archived rollouts, a resume or metadata update
can append while the worker is replacing the plain file with
`.jsonl.zst`; the current double-stat checks narrow but do not fully
eliminate the window where a writer has opened the plain file before
unlink. Do not treat the worker PR as production-ready until we either:
- prevent append/resume paths from racing archived compression, or
- introduce a shared representation/append lock or equivalent
coordination.
The first two PRs are useful independently: they make compressed
rollouts readable and make append paths safely recover back to plain
JSONL. The third PR isolates the worker behavior so that coordination
issue is reviewable separately.
## Validation
Focused local validation for the stack includes:
- `just test -p codex-rollout`
- `just test -p codex-thread-store` where thread-store paths were
touched
- `just test -p codex-features` for the feature flag slice
- `just bazel-lock-check` after dependency graph changes
- scoped `just fix -p ...` passes for changed crates
CI is still the source of truth for the full platform matrix.
## This PR in the stack
This is PR 3/3, based on #25088. It adds the under-development feature
flag and starts the best-effort background worker when enabled. The
worker currently compresses only cold archived rollouts, skips active
sessions, verifies compressed output, preserves mtime and permissions,
keeps a store-level lock heartbeat, and cleans stale temp files.
Stack order:
1. #25087: read compressed local rollouts.
2. #25088: materialize compressed rollouts before append.
3. This PR: add the disabled local compression worker.
## Why
Add a standalone image generation path that can be exercised
independently of hosted Responses image generation, while retaining the
hosted tool as fallback unless the extension is actually available to
the model.
## What changed
- Added the `codex-image-generation-extension` crate with standalone
generate/edit execution, prior-image selection for edits, model-visible
image output, and local generated-image persistence.
- Installed the extension in app-server behind the disabled-by-default
`imagegenext` feature and backend eligibility checks.
- Updated core tool planning so eligible `image_gen.imagegen` exposure
replaces hosted `image_generation`, while unavailable configurations
retain hosted fallback.
- Added coverage for extension behavior, edit history reuse, feature
gating, auth eligibility, and hosted-tool replacement.
- The extension is installed through app-server only in this PR; other
execution paths retain hosted image generation because hosted
replacement occurs only when the standalone executor is actually
registered and model-visible.
- The initial extension contract intentionally fixes the image model to
`gpt-image-2` and uses automatic image parameters.
- Native generated-image history/card parity and rollout persistence
cleanup are intentionally deferred follow-up work.

Co-authored-by: jif-oai <jif@openai.com>
This change keeps unified @mentions behind the mentions_v2 gate, moves
the flag to under-development, and polishes mention rendering/history
behavior.
It also adds a few small improvements to the mentions feature around
mention rendering and history round-tripping for plugin/tool mentions in
message edit scenarios. Plugin selections now insert `@` mentions with
better casing, and saved history preserves the visible sigil so recalled
messages look the same as what the user typed.
- Preserves `@` sigils when encoding/decoding mention history for
tool/plugin paths.
- Improves plugin mention insertion so display names/casing are
reflected more cleanly in the composer.
- Update composer to render user-entered plugin mentions in the same
color as the mentions menu. ALso applies to recalled/edited messages.
- Left/right arrows no longer switch unified-mention search modes after
an @mention has already been accepted (Ex: arrowing left through a
composed message that contains @mentions).
- Keeps bound mentions stable around punctuation, so accepted `@`
mentions do not reopen the popup and punctuated `$` mentions still
persist to cross-session history.
**Steps to test**
- Ensure mentions_v2 is enabled through configuration or `--enable
mentions_v2`
- Type `@` in the TUI composer and verify filesystem/plugin/skill
results are displayed in the unified mentions menu.
- Select a plugin mention from the `@` popup and confirm the inserted
text is an `@...` mention with casing, then recall/edit the message and
confirm it still renders as `@...`.
- Mention a skill and verify that skills still insert as `$skill`
mentions rather than `@` mentions.
- Verify punctuated mentions such as `@plugin.` and `($skill)` keep
their bound mention behavior across editing and history recall.
## Summary
Add the extension-backed standalone `web.run` tool so Codex can call the
standalone search endpoint through the `codex-api` search client and
return its encrypted output to Responses.
- gate the new tool behind `standalone_web_search`
- install the extension in the app-server thread registry and hide
hosted `web_search` when standalone search is enabled for OpenAI
providers so the two paths stay mutually exclusive
- build search context from persisted history using a small tail
heuristic: previous user message, assistant text between the last two
user turns capped at about 1k tokens, and current user message
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates`
## Why
The `non_prefixed_mcp_tool_names` feature should be applied where MCP
tools become model-visible, not by remapping names later in core.
Keeping the decision in `McpConnectionManager` construction makes
`ToolInfo` the single shaped view that spec building, deferred tool
search, routing, and unavailable-tool placeholders can consume directly.
This also preserves the existing external behavior while the feature is
off, and keeps the feature-on behavior for code mode and hooks explicit
at the manager boundary.
## What Changed
- Add `McpToolNameMode` to `codex-mcp` and flow it through `McpConfig`
into `McpConnectionManager::new`.
- Normalize MCP `ToolInfo` names in the manager using either
legacy-prefixed namespaces or non-prefixed namespaces; the legacy path
adds `mcp__` without restoring the old trailing namespace suffix.
- Remove the core-side MCP name remapping path so specs, tool search,
session resolution, and unavailable-tool placeholder construction use
the manager-provided `ToolName` values directly.
- Keep code mode flattening on the `__` namespace separator.
- Preserve hook compatibility by giving non-prefixed MCP hook names
legacy `mcp__...` matcher aliases.
- Add/adjust integration and unit coverage for non-prefixed code-mode
behavior, hook matching with the feature on and off, and manager-level
legacy prefixing.

# Why
This is a follow-up stacked on top of the `plugin_hooks` default-on
change. Once we are comfortable making plugin hooks part of the normal
plugin behavior, the separate feature flag stops buying us much and
leaves extra branching/cache state behind.
# What
- remove the `PluginHooks` feature and generated config-schema entries
- make plugin hook loading/listing follow plugin enablement directly
- drop plugin-manager cache/state that only existed to distinguish
hook-flag toggles
- remove tests and fixtures that modeled `plugin_hooks = true/false`
## Why
The `goals` feature is ready to be available without requiring users to
opt into experimental features. Keeping it behind the beta flag leaves
persisted thread goals and automatic goal continuation disabled by
default.
This PR also marks the goal-related app server APIs and events as no
longer experimental.
## What changed
- Mark `goals` as `Stage::Stable`.
- Enable `goals` by default in `codex-rs/features/src/lib.rs`.
## Summary
- mark `ToolSearch` as removed and ignore stale config writes for its
legacy key
- make search tool exposure depend only on model capability, not a
feature toggle
- remove app-server enablement support and prune now-obsolete test
coverage/setup
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core search_tool_requires_model_capability`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server experimental_feature_enablement_set_`
## Notes
- This keeps the legacy config key as a no-op for compatibility while
removing the ability to toggle the behavior off cleanly.
- No developer-facing docs update outside the touched app-server README
was needed.
Deletes the skill env var dependency prompt feature and its runtime
path. env_var entries in skill dependency metadata are now silently
ignored during skill loading.
## Summary
- Add `features.multi_agent_v2.tool_namespace` with config/schema
validation for Responses-compatible namespace values.
- Thread the resolved namespace into `ToolsConfig` for normal turns and
review turns.
- Wrap MultiAgentV2 tool specs and registry names in the configured
namespace when namespace tools are supported, while falling back to the
plain tool names when they are not.
## Validation

## Summary
Removes the feature since this is effectively on by default in all cases
where we should use it, or can be configured via models.json.
## Testing
- [x] unit tests pass
## Why
reapplies https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22386 which was
previously reverted
Also, introduce `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
app-server APIs to toggle on/off remote control at runtime for a given
running app-server instance.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental v2 RPCs:
- `remoteControl/enable`
- `remoteControl/disable`
- Adds `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and routes the new RPCs through
it instead of `ConfigRequestProcessor`.
- Adds named `RemoteControlHandle::enable`, `disable`, and `status`
methods.
- Makes `remoteControl/enable` return an error when sqlite state DB is
unavailable, while keeping enrollment/websocket failures as async status
updates.
- Adds `AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and hidden
`--remote-control` flags for `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`.
- Updates managed daemon startup to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://`.
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as removed and ignores
`[features].remote_control`.
- Updates app-server README entries for the new remote-control methods.
## Summary
Get rid of the `experimental_use_freeform_apply_patch` config option,
since it is now encoded in model config. No deprecation message since it
has been experimental this entire time.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests

## Why
`multi_agent_v2` already allowed configuring the minimum `wait_agent`
timeout, but the default timeout and upper bound were still hard-coded.
That made it hard to tune waits for subagent mailbox activity in
sessions that need either faster wakeups or longer waits, and it meant
the model-visible `wait_agent` schema could not fully reflect the
resolved runtime limits.
## What Changed
- Added `features.multi_agent_v2.max_wait_timeout_ms` and
`features.multi_agent_v2.default_wait_timeout_ms` alongside the existing
`min_wait_timeout_ms` setting.
- Validated all three timeouts in config as `0..=3_600_000`, with
`min_wait_timeout_ms <= default_wait_timeout_ms <= max_wait_timeout_ms`.
- Thread and review session tool config now passes the resolved
min/default/max values into the `wait_agent` tool schema.
- `wait_agent` now uses the configured default when `timeout_ms` is
omitted and rejects explicit values outside the configured min/max range
instead of silently clamping them.
- Updated the generated config schema and config-lock test coverage for
the new fields.
# Why
Plugin-bundled hooks are already wired through the plugin manager,
session setup, and app-server hook listing paths. Keeping `plugin_hooks`
disabled by default means users still need an explicit feature opt-in
before that existing behavior participates in normal plugin loading.
# What
- mark `plugin_hooks` as stable and enable it by default
- add feature-registry test coverage for the new default/stage pairing
Validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `just fmt`
## Why
`code_mode_only` filters code-mode nested tools out of the top-level
tool list. For multi-agent v2, we need a rollout shape where the
collaboration tools remain callable as normal model tools without also
being embedded into the code-mode `exec` tool declaration.
Related to this:
https://openai-corpws.slack.com/archives/C0AQLHB4U75/p1778660267922549
## What Changed
- Adds `features.multi_agent_v2.non_code_mode_only`, including config
resolution, profile override handling, and generated schema coverage.
- Introduces `ToolExposure::DirectModelOnly` so a tool can be included
in the initial model-visible list while staying out of the nested
code-mode tool surface.
- Applies that exposure to the multi-agent v2 tools when the new flag is
set: `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, `wait_agent`,
`close_agent`, and `list_agents`.
- Updates code-mode-only filtering so direct-model-only tools remain
visible while ordinary nested code-mode tools are still hidden.
## Verification
- Added config parsing/profile tests for `non_code_mode_only`.
- Added tool spec coverage for the code-mode-only multi-agent v2
exposure behavior.
## Why
`UnavailableDummyTools` kept synthetic placeholder tools alive for
historical tool calls whose backing MCP tool was no longer available.
That path adds stale model-visible tool specs and special routing at the
point where unavailable MCP calls should use ordinary current-tool
handling. This removes the runtime backfill instead of preserving a
second compatibility lane.
## Is it safe to remove?
The unavailable tools were added in #17853 after a CS issue when a
previously-called MCP tool failed to load and was omitted from the CS
spec. Now that we have tool search, I think this is resolved:
- API merges tools from previous TST output into effective tool set so
theyre always in CS spec
- if an MCP tool surfaced by TST later becomes unavailable, the model
can still call it and it will just return model-visible error
- both TST output and function call output are dropped on compaction so
model will not remember old calls to MCP post compaction
## What changed
- Delete unavailable-tool collection, placeholder handler, router/spec
plumbing, and obsolete placeholder coverage.
- Keep `features.unavailable_dummy_tools` as a removed no-op feature
tombstone so existing configs still parse cleanly.
- Add an integration-style `tool_search` regression test showing that a
deferred MCP tool surfaced through `tool_search` still routes through
MCP and returns a model-visible tool-call error rather than `unsupported
call`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core tool_search`
- Adds localVersion to plugin summaries and remoteVersion to share
context, including generated API schemas.
- Hydrates local and remote plugin versions from manifests and remote
release metadata.
- Adds default-on plugin_sharing gate for shared-with-me listing and
plugin/share/save, with disabled-path errors
and focused coverage.
## Why
`remote_control` can appear in `config.toml`, CLI feature overrides, and
the app-server config APIs. Before this PR, app-server startup treated
`config.features.enabled(Feature::RemoteControl)` as the signal to start
remote control ([base
code](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/5e3ee5eddfa5333f2e0b011880abf0cbf92bd295/codex-rs/app-server/src/lib.rs#L678-L680)).
That meant a user with:
```toml
[features]
remote_control = true
```
would accidentally opt every app-server process into remote control.
Remote-control startup should instead be a per-process launch decision
made by CLI flags.
## What Changed
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as `Stage::Removed`, keeping
`remote_control` as a known compatibility key while making it
config-inert.
- Adds a hidden `--remote-control` process flag to `codex app-server`
and standalone `codex-app-server`.
- Plumbs that flag through
`AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and makes app-server
startup use only that runtime option to decide whether to start remote
control.
- Removes the app-server config mutation hook that reloaded config and
toggled remote control at runtime.
- Updates managed daemon spawning to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://` instead of `--enable remote_control`.
Config APIs can still list, read, write, and set `remote_control`; those
operations just no longer affect remote-control process enrollment.
## Summary
- make workspace owner nudge handling unconditional in the TUI now that
it is fully rolled out
- keep `workspace_owner_usage_nudge` as a removed no-op compatibility
flag so old configs/app overrides remain accepted during rollout
- remove flag-disabled test setup
## Companion PR
- https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/876351 removes the Codex Apps
Statsig rollout gate override after this change is available to the
app/runtime path
## Validation
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui status_and_layout`
## Why
The permissions migration is making
`permissions.<profile>.network.enabled` the canonical sandbox network
bit, while proxy startup is a separate concern. Enabling network access
should not implicitly start the proxy, and users who are still on legacy
sandbox modes need a separate place to opt into proxy startup and
provide proxy-specific settings.
This follow-up to #19900 gives the network proxy its own feature surface
instead of overloading permission-profile network semantics.
## What changed
- Add an experimental `network_proxy` feature with a configurable
`[features.network_proxy]` table.
- Overlay `features.network_proxy` settings onto the configured proxy
state after permission-profile selection, so the proxy only starts when
the active `NetworkSandboxPolicy` already allows network access.
- Preserve `[experimental_network]` startup behavior independently of
the new feature flag.
## Behavior and examples
There are now three related knobs:
- `permissions.<profile>.network.enabled` controls whether the active
permission profile has network access at all.
- `features.network_proxy` enables proxy restrictions for an
already-network-enabled profile.
- Legacy `sandbox_mode` plus `[sandbox_workspace_write].network_access`
still control whether legacy `workspace-write` has network access at
all.
The rule is:
- network off + proxy flag on -> network stays off, proxy is a no-op
- network on + proxy flag off -> unrestricted direct network
- network on + proxy flag on -> network stays on, with proxy
restrictions applied
For permission profiles, the feature toggle adds proxy restrictions only
when network access is already enabled:
```toml
default_permissions = "workspace"
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
":minimal" = "read"
[permissions.workspace.network]
enabled = true
[features]
network_proxy = true
```
If `network.enabled = false`, the same feature flag is a no-op: network
remains off and the proxy does not start.
For legacy sandbox config, `network_access` remains the master switch:
```toml
sandbox_mode = "workspace-write"
[sandbox_workspace_write]
network_access = true
[features]
network_proxy = true
```
That keeps legacy `workspace-write` network access on, but routes it
through the proxy policy. If `network_access = false`, the proxy feature
is a no-op and legacy `workspace-write` remains offline.
The same proxy opt-in can be supplied from the CLI:
```bash
codex -c 'features.network_proxy=true'
```
Additional proxy settings can be supplied when a table is needed:
```bash
codex \
-c 'features.network_proxy.enabled=true' \
-c 'features.network_proxy.enable_socks5=false'
```
The intended behavior matrix is:
| Config surface | Network setting | `features.network_proxy` | Direct
sandbox network | Proxy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = false` | off | restricted |
off |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = false` | on | restricted | off
|
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = true` | off | enabled | off |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = true` | on | enabled | on |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = false` | off | restricted
| off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = false` | on | restricted
| off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = true` | off | enabled |
off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = true` | on | enabled | on
|
`[experimental_network]` requirements remain separate from the user
feature toggle and still start the proxy on their own.
Relevant code:
-
[`features/src/feature_configs.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/features/src/feature_configs.rs#L58-L117)
defines the feature-specific proxy config.
-
[`core/src/config/mod.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L1959-L1964)
reads the feature table, and [later applies it only when network access
is already
enabled](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L2448-L2458).
## Verification
Added focused coverage for:
- keeping the proxy off when `features.network_proxy` is enabled but
sandbox network access is disabled
- the full permission-profile and legacy `workspace-write` matrix above
- preserving `[experimental_network]` startup without the feature
- reusing profile-supplied proxy settings when the feature is enabled

This PR replaces the TUI’s file-only `@mention` popup with a unified
mentions experience. Typing `@...` now searches across filesystem
matches, installed plugins, and skills in one popup, with result types
clearly labeled and selectable from the same flow.
- Adds a unified `@mentions` popup that returns:
- plugins
- skills
- files
- directories
- Adds search modes so users can narrow the popup without changing their
query:
- All Results _(default/same as Codex App)_
- Filesystem Only
- Plugins _(...and skills)_
- Preserves existing insertion behavior:
- selected file paths are inserted into the prompt
- paths with spaces are quoted
- image file selections still attach as images when possible
- selecting a plugin or skill inserts the corresponding `$name`
- the composer records the canonical mention binding, such as
`plugin://...` or the skill path
- Expanded `@mentions` rendering:
- type tags for Plugin, Skill, File, and Dir
- distinct plugin/filesystem colors
- stable fixed-height layout (8 rows)
- truncation behavior for narrow terminals
Note:
- The unified mentions popup does not display app connectors under
`@mention` results for Codex App parity. Connector mentions remain
available through the existing `$mention` path.

- Add a `response.processed` websocket request payload and sender for
Responses API websockets.

## Why
This adds the `remote_compaction_v2` client path so remote compaction
can run through the normal Responses stream and install a
`context_compaction` item that trigger a compaction.
The goal is to migrate some of the compaction logic on the client side
We keeps the v2 transport behind a feature flag while letting follow-up
requests reuse the compacted context instead of falling back to the
legacy compaction item shape.
## What changed
- add `ResponseItem::ContextCompaction` and refresh the generated
app-server / schema / TypeScript fixtures that expose response items on
the wire
- add `core/src/compact_remote_v2.rs` to send compaction through the
standard streamed Responses client, require exactly one
`context_compaction` output item, and install that item into compacted
history
- route manual compact and auto-compaction through the v2 path when
`remote_compaction_v2` is enabled, while keeping the existing remote
compaction path as the fallback
- preserve the new item type across history retention, follow-up request
construction, telemetry, rollout persistence, and rollout-trace
normalization
- add targeted coverage for the feature flag, `context_compaction`
serialization, rollout-trace normalization, and remote-compaction
follow-up behavior
## Verification
- added protocol tests for `context_compaction`
serialization/deserialization in `protocol/src/models.rs`
- added rollout-trace coverage for `context_compaction` normalization in
`rollout-trace/src/reducer/conversation_tests.rs`
- added remote compaction integration coverage for v2 follow-up reuse
and mixed compaction output streams in
`core/tests/suite/compact_remote.rs`

## Why
For reproducibility. A hand-written `config.toml` is not enough to
recreate what a Codex session actually ran with because layered config,
CLI overrides, defaults, feature aliases, resolved feature config,
prompt setup, and model-catalog/session values can all affect the final
runtime behavior.
This PR adds an effective config lockfile path: one run can export the
resolved session config, and a later run can replay that lockfile and
fail early if the regenerated effective config drifts.
## What Changed
- Add a dedicated `ConfigLockfileToml` wrapper with top-level lockfile
metadata plus the replayable config:
```toml
version = 1
codex_version = "..."
[config]
# effective ConfigToml fields
```
- Keep lockfile metadata out of regular `ConfigToml`; replay loads
`ConfigLockfileToml` and then uses its nested `config` as the
authoritative config layer.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.export_dir` to write
`<thread_id>.config.lock.toml` when a root session starts.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.load_path` to replay a saved lockfile and
validate the regenerated session lockfile against it.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.allow_codex_version_mismatch` to optionally
tolerate Codex binary version drift while still comparing the rest of
the lockfile.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.save_fields_resolved_from_model_catalog` so
lock creation can either save model-catalog/session-resolved fields or
intentionally leave those fields dynamic.
- Build lockfiles from the effective config plus resolved runtime values
such as model selection, reasoning settings, prompts, service tier, web
search mode, feature states/config, memories config, skill instructions,
and agent limits.
- Materialize feature aliases and custom feature config into the
lockfile so replay compares canonical resolved behavior instead of
user-authored alias shape.
- Strip profile/debug/file-include/environment-specific inputs from
generated lockfiles so they contain replayable values rather than the
inputs that produced those values.
- Surface JSON-RPC server error code/data in app-server client and TUI
bootstrap errors so config-lock replay failures include the actual TOML
diff.
- Regenerate the config schema for the new debug config keys.
## Review Notes
The main flow is split across these files:
- `config/src/config_toml.rs`: lockfile/debug TOML shapes.
- `core/src/config/mod.rs`: loading `debug.config_lockfile.*`, replaying
a lockfile as a config layer, and preserving the expected lockfile for
validation.
- `core/src/session/config_lock.rs`: exporting the current session
lockfile and materializing resolved session/config values.
- `core/src/config_lock.rs`: lockfile parsing, metadata/version checks,
replay comparison, and diff formatting.
## Usage
Export a lockfile from a normal session:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.export_dir="/tmp/codex-locks"'
```
Export a lockfile without saving model-catalog/session-resolved fields:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.export_dir="/tmp/codex-locks"' \
-c 'debug.config_lockfile.save_fields_resolved_from_model_catalog=false'
```
Replay a saved lockfile in a later session:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.load_path="/tmp/codex-locks/<thread_id>.config.lock.toml"'
```
If replay resolves to a different effective config, startup fails with a
TOML diff.
To tolerate Codex binary version drift during replay:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.load_path="/tmp/codex-locks/<thread_id>.config.lock.toml"' \
-c 'debug.config_lockfile.allow_codex_version_mismatch=true'
```
## Limitations
This does not support custom rules/network policies.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_lock`
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
