- move the shared byte-based middle truncation logic from `core` into
`codex-utils-string`
- keep token-specific truncation in `codex-core` so rollout can reuse
the shared helper in the next stacked PR

Moves Code Mode to a new crate with no dependencies on codex. This
create encodes the code mode semantics that we want for lifetime,
mounting, tool calling.
The model-facing surface is mostly unchanged. `exec` still runs raw
JavaScript, `wait` still resumes or terminates a `cell_id`, nested tools
are still available through `tools.*`, and helpers like `text`, `image`,
`store`, `load`, `notify`, `yield_control`, and `exit` still exist.
The major change is underneath that surface:
- Old code mode was an external Node runtime.
- New code mode is an in-process V8 runtime embedded directly in Rust.
- Old code mode managed cells inside a long-lived Node runner process.
- New code mode manages cells in Rust, with one V8 runtime thread per
active `exec`.
- Old code mode used JSON protocol messages over child stdin/stdout plus
Node worker-thread messages.
- New code mode uses Rust channels and direct V8 callbacks/events.
This PR also fixes the two migration regressions that fell out of that
substrate change:
- `wait { terminate: true }` now waits for the V8 runtime to actually
stop before reporting termination.
- synchronous top-level `exit()` now succeeds again instead of surfacing
as a script error.
---
- `core/src/tools/code_mode/*` is now mostly an adapter layer for the
public `exec` / `wait` tools.
- `code-mode/src/service.rs` owns cell sessions and async control flow
in Rust.
- `code-mode/src/runtime/*.rs` owns the embedded V8 isolate and
JavaScript execution.
- each `exec` spawns a dedicated runtime thread plus a Rust
session-control task.
- helper globals are installed directly into the V8 context instead of
being injected through a source prelude.
- helper modules like `tools.js` and `@openai/code_mode` are synthesized
through V8 module resolution callbacks in Rust.

Also added a benchmark for showing the speed of init and use of a code
mode env:

- Split the feature system into a new `codex-features` crate.
- Cut `codex-core` and workspace consumers over to the new config and
warning APIs.

Cleanup image semantics in code mode.
`view_image` now returns `{image_url:string, details?: string}`
`image()` now allows both string parameter and `{image_url:string,
details?: string}`
Summary
- document that code mode only exposes `exec` and the renamed `wait`
tool
- update code mode tool spec and descriptions to match the new tool name
- rename tests and helper references from `exec_wait` to `wait`
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

* -> #14652
* #14651
- **Summary**
- expose `exit` through the code mode bridge and module so scripts can
stop mid-flight
- surface the helper in the description documentation
- add a regression test ensuring `exit()` terminates execution cleanly
- **Testing**
- Not run (not requested)
Summary
- add the code_mode_only feature flag/config schema and wire its
dependency on code_mode
- update code mode tool descriptions to list nested tools with detailed
headers
- restrict available tools for prompt and exec descriptions when
code_mode_only is enabled and test the behavior
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
This change moves code_mode exec session settings out of the runtime API
and into an optional first-line pragma, so instead of calling runtime
helpers like set_yield_time() or set_max_output_tokens_per_exec_call(),
the model can write // @exec: {"yield_time_ms": ...,
"max_output_tokens": ...} at the top of the freeform exec source. Rust
now parses that pragma before building the source, validates it, and
passes the values directly in the exec start message to the code-mode
broker, which applies them at session start without any worker-runtime
mutation path. The @openai/code_mode module no longer exposes those
setter functions, the docs and grammar were updated to describe the
pragma form, and the existing code_mode tests were converted to use
pragma-based configuration instead.
Summary
- make all code-mode tools accessible as globals so callers only need
`tools.<name>`
- rename text/image helpers and key globals (store, load, ALL_TOOLS,
etc.) to reflect the new shared namespace
- update the JS bridge, runners, descriptions, router, and tests to
follow the new API
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
- Update the code-mode executor, wait handler, and protocol plumbing to
use cell IDs instead of session IDs for node communication
- Switch tool metadata, wait description, and suite tests to refer to
cell IDs so user-visible messages match the new terminology
**Testing**
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
- create the turn-scoped `ToolCallRuntime` before starting the code mode
worker so the worker reuses the same runtime and router
- thread the shared runtime through the code mode service/worker path
and use it for nested tool calls
- model aborted tool calls as a concrete `ToolOutput` so aborted
responses still produce valid tool output shapes
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (still running locally)
Summary
- expose the default yield timeout through code mode runtime so the
handler, wait tool, and protocol share the same 10s value that matches
unified exec
- document the timeout change in the tool descriptions and propagate the
value all the way into the runner metadata
- adjust Cargo.lock to keep the dependency tree in sync with the added
code mode tool dependency
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
- **Summary**
- migrate the code mode handler, service, worker, process, runner, and
bridge assets into the `tools/code_mode` module tree
- split Execution, protocol, and handler logic into dedicated files and
relocate the tool definition into `code_mode/spec.rs`
- update core references and tests to stitch the new organization
together
- **Testing**
- Not run (not requested)
