• Support SYSTEM skills. (#8220)

  1. Remove PUBLIC skills and introduce SYSTEM skills embedded in the
  binary and installed into $CODEX_HOME/skills/.system at startup.
  2. Skills are now always enabled (feature flag removed).
  3. Update skills/list to accept forceReload and plumb it through (not
  used by clients yet).

• Add public skills + improve repo skill discovery and error UX (#8098)

  1. Adds SkillScope::Public end-to-end (core + protocol) and loads skills
  from the public cache directory
  2. Improves repo skill discovery by searching upward for the nearest
  .codex/skills within a git repo
  3. Deduplicates skills by name with deterministic ordering to avoid
  duplicates across sources
  4. Fixes garbled “Skill errors” overlay rendering by preventing pending
  history lines from being injected during the modal
  5. Updates the project docs “Skills” intro wording to avoid hardcoded
  paths

• feat: if .codex is a sub-folder of a writable root, then make it read-only to the sandbox (#8088)

  In preparation for in-repo configuration support, this updates
  `WritableRoot::get_writable_roots_with_cwd()` to include the `.codex`
  subfolder in `WritableRoot.read_only_subpaths`, if it exists, as we
  already do for `.git`.
  
  As noted, currently, like `.git`, `.codex` will only be read-only under
  macOS Seatbelt, but we plan to bring support to other OSes, as well.
  
  Updated the integration test in `seatbelt.rs` so that it actually
  attempts to run the generated Seatbelt commands, verifying that:
  
  - trying to write to `.codex/config.toml` in a writable root fails
  - trying to write to `.git/hooks/pre-commit` in a writable root fails
  - trying to write to the writable root containing the `.codex` and
  `.git` subfolders succeeds

• Reimplement skills loading using SkillsManager + skills/list op. (#7914)

  refactor the way we load and manage skills:
  1. Move skill discovery/caching into SkillsManager and reuse it across
  sessions.
  2. Add the skills/list API (Op::ListSkills/SkillsListResponse) to fetch
  skills for one or more cwds. Also update app-server for VSCE/App;
  3. Trigger skills/list during session startup so UIs preload skills and
  handle errors immediately.

• fix: introduce AbsolutePathBuf as part of sandbox config (#7856)

  Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
  the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
  This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
  path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
  a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
  
  Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
  that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
  folder of the config file as the base path.

• Inject SKILL.md when it's explicitly mentioned. (#7763)

  1. Skills load once in core at session start; the cached outcome is
  reused across core and surfaced to TUI via SessionConfigured.
  2. TUI detects explicit skill selections, and core injects the matching
  SKILL.md content into the turn when a selected skill is present.

• Refactor execpolicy fallback evaluation (#7544)

  ## Refactor of the `execpolicy` crate
  
  To illustrate why we need this refactor, consider an agent attempting to
  run `apple | rm -rf ./`. Suppose `apple` is allowed by `execpolicy`.
  Before this PR, `execpolicy` would consider `apple` and `pear` and only
  render one rule match: `Allow`. We would skip any heuristics checks on
  `rm -rf ./` and immediately approve `apple | rm -rf ./` to run.
  
  To fix this, we now thread a `fallback` evaluation function into
  `execpolicy` that runs when no `execpolicy` rules match a given command.
  In our example, we would run `fallback` on `rm -rf ./` and prevent
  `apple | rm -rf ./` from being run without approval.

• [app-server & core] introduce new codex error code and v2 app-server error events (#6938)

  This PR does two things:
  1. populate a new `codex_error_code` protocol in error events sent from
  core to client;
  2. old v1 core events `codex/event/stream_error` and `codex/event/error`
  will now both become `error`. We also show codex error code for
  turncompleted -> error status.
  
  new events in app server test:

• [app-server] feat: v2 apply_patch approval flow (#6760)

  This PR adds the API V2 version of the apply_patch approval flow, which
  centers around `ThreadItem::FileChange`.
  
  This PR wires the new RPC (`item/fileChange/requestApproval`, V2 only)
  and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed` for
  `ThreadItem::FileChange`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2) through
  the app-server
  protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
  turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
  compatibility with VSCE.
  
  Similar to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, the approach I
  took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as possible,
  leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating those in
  app-server. I did have to add a few additional fields to
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` and `EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd`, but those
  were fairly lightweight.
  
  However, the `EventMsg`s emitted by core are the following:
  ```
  1) Auto-approved (no request for approval)

  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  
  2) Approved by user
  - EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  
  3) Declined by user
  - EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  ```
  
  For a request triggering an approval, this would result in:
  ```
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/started
  item/completed
  ```
  
  which is different from the `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` flow
  introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, which does the
  below and is preferable:
  ```
  item/started
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/completed
  ```
  
  To fix this, we leverage `TurnSummaryStore` on codex_message_processor
  to store a little bit of state, allowing us to fire `item/started` and
  `item/fileChange/requestApproval` whenever we receive the underlying
  `EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest`, and no-oping when we receive the
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` later.
  
  This is much less invasive than modifying the order of EventMsg within
  core (I tried).
  
  The resulting payloads:

• [core] add optional status_code to error events (#6865)

  We want to better uncover error status code for clients. Add an optional

• fix: add more fields to ThreadStartResponse and ThreadResumeResponse (#6847)

  This adds the following fields to `ThreadStartResponse` and
  `ThreadResumeResponse`:
  
  ```rust
      pub model: String,
      pub model_provider: String,
      pub cwd: PathBuf,
      pub approval_policy: AskForApproval,
      pub sandbox: SandboxPolicy,
      pub reasoning_effort: Option<ReasoningEffort>,
  ```
  
  This is important because these fields are optional in
  `ThreadStartParams` and `ThreadResumeParams`, so the caller needs to be
  able to determine what values were ultimately used to start/resume the
  conversation. (Though note that any of these could be changed later
  between turns in the conversation.)
  
  Though to get this information reliably, it must be read from the
  internal `SessionConfiguredEvent` that is created in response to the
  start of a conversation. Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` (as defined in
  `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`) did not have all of these fields, a
  number of them had to be added as part of this PR.
  
  Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` is referenced in many tests, test
  instances of `SessionConfiguredEvent` had to be updated, as well, which
  is why this PR touches so many files.

• [app-server] feat: add v2 command execution approval flow (#6758)

  This PR adds the API V2 version of the command‑execution approval flow
  for the shell tool.
  
  This PR wires the new RPC (`item/commandExecution/requestApproval`, V2
  only) and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed`, and
  `item/commandExecution/delta`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2)
  through the app-server
  protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
  turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
  compatibility with VSCE.
  
  The approach I took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as
  possible, leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating
  those in app-server. I did have to add additional fields to
  `EventMsg::ExecCommandEndEvent` to capture the command's input so that
  app-server can statelessly transform these events to a
  `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` item for the `item/completed` event.
  
  Once we stabilize the API and it's complete enough for our partners, we
  can work on migrating the core to be aware of command execution items as
  a first-class concept.
  
  **Note**: We'll need followup work to make sure these APIs work for the
  unified exec tool, but will wait til that's stable and landed before
  doing a pass on app-server.

• [app-server] small fixes for JSON schema export and one-of types (#6614)

  A partner is consuming our generated JSON schema bundle for app-server
  and identified a few issues:
  - not all polymorphic / one-of types have a type descriminator
  - `"$ref": "#/definitions/v2/SandboxPolicy"` is missing
  - "Option<>" is an invalid schema name, and also unnecessary
  
  This PR:
  - adds the type descriminator to the various types that are missing it
  except for `SessionSource` and `SubAgentSource` because they are
  serialized to disk (adding this would break backwards compat for
  resume), and they should not be necessary to consume for an integration
  with app-server.
  - removes the special handling in `export.rs` of various types like
  SandboxPolicy, which turned out to be unnecessary and incorrect
  - filters out `Option<>` which was auto-generated for request params
  that don't need a body
  
  For context, we currently pull in wayyy more types than we need through
  the `EventMsg` god object which we are **not** planning to expose in API
  v2 (this is how I suspect `SessionSource` and `SubAgentSource` are being
  pulled in). But until we have all the necessary v2 notifications in
  place that will allow us to remove `EventMsg`, we will keep exporting it
  for now.

• [App-server] add new v2 events:item/reasoning/delta, item/agentMessage/delta & item/reasoning/summaryPartAdded (#6559)

  core event to app server event mapping:
  1. `codex/event/reasoning_content_delta` ->
  `item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta`.
  2. `codex/event/reasoning_raw_content_delta` ->
  `item/reasoning/textDelta`
  3. `codex/event/agent_message_content_delta` →
  `item/agentMessage/delta`.
  4. `codex/event/agent_reasoning_section_break` ->
  `item/reasoning/summaryPartAdded`.
  
  Also added a change in core to pass down content index, summary index
  and item id from events.
  
  Tested with the `git checkout owen/app_server_test_client && cargo run
  -p codex-app-server-test-client -- send-message-v2 "hello"` and verified
  that new events are emitted correctly.

• Include reasoning tokens in the context window calculation (#6161)

  This value is used to determine whether mid-turn compaction is required.
  Reasoning items are only excluded between turns (and soon will start to
  be preserved even across turns) so it's incorrect to subtract
  reasoning_output_tokens mid term.
  
  This will result in higher values reported between turns but we are also
  looking into preserving reasoning items for the entire conversation to
  improve performance and caching.

• [app-server] remove serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none") annotations (#5939)

  We had this annotation everywhere in app-server APIs which made it so
  that fields get serialized as `field?: T`, meaning if the field as
  `None` we would omit the field in the payload. Removing this annotation
  changes it so that we return `field: T | null` instead, which makes
  codex app-server's API more aligned with the convention of public OpenAI
  APIs like Responses.
  
  Separately, remove the `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` annotations
  that were recently added which made all the TS types become `field?: T |
  null` which is not great since clients need to handle undefined and
  null.
  
  I think generally it'll be best to have optional types be either:
  - `field: T | null` (preferred, aligned with public OpenAI APIs)
  - `field?: T` where we have to, such as types generated from the MCP
  schema:
  https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/blob/main/schema/2025-06-18/schema.ts
  (see changes to `mcp-types/`)
  
  I updated @etraut-openai's unit test to check that all generated TS
  types are one or the other, not both (so will error if we have a type
  that has `field?: T | null`). I don't think there's currently a good use
  case for that - but we can always revisit.

• Delegate review to codex instance (#5572)

  In this PR, I am exploring migrating task kind to an invocation of
  Codex. The main reason would be getting rid off multiple
  `ConversationHistory` state and streamlining our context/history
  management.
  
  This approach depends on opening a channel between the sub-codex and
  codex. This channel is responsible for forwarding `interactive`
  (`approvals`) and `non-interactive` events. The `task` is responsible
  for handling those events.
  
  This opens the door for implementing `codex as a tool`, replacing
  `compact` and `review`, and potentially subagents.
  
  One consideration is this code is very similar to `app-server` specially
  in the approval part. If in the future we wanted an interactive
  `sub-codex` we should consider using `codex-mcp`

• Add a wrapper around raw response items (#5923)

  We currently have nested enums when sending raw response items in the
  app-server protocol. This makes downstream schemas confusing because we
  need to embed `type`-discriminated enums within each other.
  
  This PR adds a small wrapper around the response item so we can keep the
  schemas separate

• Add missing "nullable" macro to protocol structs that contain optional fields (#5901)

  This PR addresses a current hole in the TypeScript code generation for
  the API server protocol. Fields that are marked as "Optional<>" in the
  Rust code are serialized such that the value is omitted when it is
  deserialized — appearing as `undefined`, but the TS type indicates
  (incorrectly) that it is always defined but possibly `null`. This can
  lead to subtle errors that the TypeScript compiler doesn't catch. The
  fix is to include the `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` macro for all
  protocol structs that contain one or more `Optional<>` fields.
  
  This PR also includes a new test that validates that all TS protocol
  code containing "| null" in its type is marked optional ("?") to catch
  cases where `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` is omitted.

• feature: Add "!cmd" user shell execution (#2471)

  feature: Add "!cmd" user shell execution
  
  This change lets users run local shell commands directly from the TUI by
  prefixing their input with ! (e.g. !ls). Output is truncated to keep the
  exec cell usable, and Ctrl-C cleanly
    interrupts long-running commands (e.g. !sleep 10000).
  
  **Summary of changes**
  
  - Route Op::RunUserShellCommand through a dedicated UserShellCommandTask
  (core/src/tasks/user_shell.rs), keeping the task logic out of codex.rs.
  - Reuse the existing tool router: the task constructs a ToolCall for the
  local_shell tool and relies on ShellHandler, so no manual MCP tool
  lookup is required.
  - Emit exec lifecycle events (ExecCommandBegin/ExecCommandEnd) so the
  TUI can show command metadata, live output, and exit status.
  
  **End-to-end flow**
  
    **TUI handling**
  
  1. ChatWidget::submit_user_message (TUI) intercepts messages starting
  with !.
  2. Non-empty commands dispatch Op::RunUserShellCommand { command };
  empty commands surface a help hint.
  3. No UserInput items are created, so nothing is enqueued for the model.
  
    **Core submission loop**
  4. The submission loop routes the op to handlers::run_user_shell_command
  (core/src/codex.rs).
  5. A fresh TurnContext is created and Session::spawn_user_shell_command
  enqueues UserShellCommandTask.
  
    **Task execution**
  6. UserShellCommandTask::run emits TaskStartedEvent, formats the
  command, and prepares a ToolCall targeting local_shell.
    7. ToolCallRuntime::handle_tool_call dispatches to ShellHandler.
  
    **Shell tool runtime**
  8. ShellHandler::run_exec_like launches the process via the unified exec
  runtime, honoring sandbox and shell policies, and emits
  ExecCommandBegin/End.
  9. Stdout/stderr are captured for the UI, but the task does not turn the
  resulting ToolOutput into a model response.
  
    **Completion**
  10. After ExecCommandEnd, the task finishes without an assistant
  message; the session marks it complete and the exec cell displays the
  final output.
  
    **Conversation context**
  
  - The command and its output never enter the conversation history or the
  model prompt; the flow is local-only.
    - Only exec/task events are emitted for UI rendering.

• [MCP] Render MCP tool call result images to the model (#5600)

  It's pretty amazing we have gotten here without the ability for the
  model to see image content from MCP tool calls.
  
  This PR builds off of 4391 and fixes #4819. I would like @KKcorps to get
  adequete credit here but I also want to get this fix in ASAP so I gave
  him a week to update it and haven't gotten a response so I'm going to
  take it across the finish line.
  
  
  This test highlights how absured the current situation is. I asked the
  model to read this image using the Chrome MCP
  <img width="2378" height="674" alt="image"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ef52608-72a2-4423-9f5e-7ae36b2b56e0"
  />
  
  After this change, it correctly outputs:
  > Captured the page: image dhows a dark terminal-style UI labeled
  `OpenAI Codex (v0.0.0)` with prompt `model: gpt-5-codex medium` and
  working directory `/codex/codex-rs`
  (and more)  
  
  Before this change, it said:
  > Took the full-page screenshot you asked for. It shows a long,
  horizontally repeating pattern of stylized people in orange, light-blue,
  and mustard clothing, holding hands in alternating poses against a white
  background. No text or other graphics-just rows of flat illustration
  stretching off to the right.
  
  Without this change, the Figma, Playwright, Chrome, and other visual MCP
  servers are pretty much entirely useless.
  
  I tested this change with the openai respones api as well as a third
  party completions api

• feat: annotate conversations with model_provider for filtering (#5658)

  Because conversations that use the Responses API can have encrypted
  reasoning messages, trying to resume a conversation with a different
  provider could lead to confusing "failed to decrypt" errors. (This is
  reproducible by starting a conversation using ChatGPT login and resuming
  it as a conversation that uses OpenAI models via Azure.)
  
  This changes `ListConversationsParams` to take a `model_providers:
  Option<Vec<String>>` and adds `model_provider` on each
  `ConversationSummary` it returns so these cases can be disambiguated.
  
  Note this ended up making changes to
  `codex-rs/core/src/rollout/tests.rs` because it had a number of cases
  where it expected `Some` for the value of `next_cursor`, but the list of
  rollouts was complete, so according to this docstring:
  
  
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bcd64c7e7231d6316a2377d1525a0fa74f21b783/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs#L334-L337
  
  If there are no more items to return, then `next_cursor` should be
  `None`. This PR updates that logic.
