## Why
Extensions can already contribute prompt fragments and request same-turn
item injection, but there was no host-owned hook for contributing
structured `ResponseItem`s while Codex is assembling a new turn's
initial model input. This change adds that seam so extensions can attach
turn-local input that depends on the submitted user input and resolved
turn environments without routing through prompt text or late injection.
## What changed
- add `TurnInputContributor` to `codex_extension_api` and export the new
`TurnInputContext` / `TurnInputEnvironment` types it receives
- teach `ExtensionRegistry` to register and expose turn-input
contributors alongside the existing extension hooks
- call registered turn-input contributors from
`core/src/session/turn.rs` while building the initial injected input for
a turn, then append their returned `ResponseItem`s after the skill and
plugin injections
## Why
Extensions that need to track runtime progress currently have no typed
host signal for tool execution. The goal extension in particular needs
to observe tool attempts without inspecting tool payloads, owning tool
implementations, or staying coupled to core-only runtime plumbing.
This adds a narrow lifecycle contributor API for host-owned tool
execution: extensions can observe when an accepted tool call starts and
how it finishes, while policy hooks and tool handlers continue to own
payload rewriting, blocking, and execution.
Relevant code:
-
[`ToolLifecycleContributor`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/3ad2850ffc7d8a1da19c65a92425637a59098f1b/codex-rs/ext/extension-api/src/contributors.rs#L119)
defines the extension-facing observer contract.
-
[`tool_lifecycle.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/3ad2850ffc7d8a1da19c65a92425637a59098f1b/codex-rs/ext/extension-api/src/contributors/tool_lifecycle.rs)
defines the typed start/finish inputs, source, and outcome enums.
- [`notify_tool_start` /
`notify_tool_finish`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/3ad2850ffc7d8a1da19c65a92425637a59098f1b/codex-rs/core/src/tools/lifecycle.rs)
bridges core tool dispatch into the extension registry.
## What Changed
- Added `ToolLifecycleContributor` to `codex-extension-api`, including:
- `ToolStartInput`
- `ToolFinishInput`
- `ToolCallSource`
- `ToolCallOutcome`
- Added registration and lookup support on `ExtensionRegistryBuilder` /
`ExtensionRegistry`.
- Wired core tool dispatch to notify lifecycle contributors for:
- accepted tool starts
- completed tool calls, including the tool output success marker
- pre-tool-use blocks
- failures before or after the handler runs
- cancellation/abort in the parallel tool path
- Registered the goal extension as a lifecycle contributor and added the
outcome filter it will use for goal progress accounting.
## Test Coverage
- Added `dispatch_notifies_tool_lifecycle_contributors` to cover
lifecycle notification ordering and outcomes for successful and
handler-failed tool calls.
## Why
Extensions can already expose typed contributions and receive host
capabilities such as `AgentSpawner`, but they do not have a typed way to
send protocol events back through the host. Extensions that need to
surface progress or status should not have to own persistence, ordering,
transport fanout, or logging decisions themselves.
## What
- Add `ExtensionEventSink`, a host-provided fire-and-forget sink for
`codex_protocol::protocol::Event`.
- Add `NoopExtensionEventSink` so hosts that do not expose extension
event emission keep the existing empty-registry behavior.
- Store the sink on `ExtensionRegistryBuilder` / `ExtensionRegistry`,
with `with_event_sink(...)` and `event_sink()` accessors, and re-export
the new capability from `codex-extension-api`.
## Testing
- Not run locally; PR metadata/body update only.
## Why
Extension lifecycle hooks sit on the host/extension boundary, but the
current trait surface only allows synchronous callbacks. That forces
extensions that need to seed, rehydrate, observe, or flush
extension-owned state during thread and turn transitions to either block
inside the callback or move async work into separate host plumbing.
This PR makes those lifecycle callbacks awaitable so extension
implementations can perform async work directly at the lifecycle point
where the host already has the relevant session, thread, or turn stores
available.
## What changed
- Makes `ThreadLifecycleContributor` and `TurnLifecycleContributor`
async in `codex-extension-api`.
- Awaits thread start/resume/stop and turn start/stop/abort lifecycle
callbacks from `codex-core`.
- Updates the guardian and memories extensions to implement the async
lifecycle trait surface.
- Updates the existing lifecycle tests to use async contributor
implementations.
- Adds `async-trait` to the crates that now expose or implement these
async object-safe lifecycle traits.
## Testing
- Existing `codex-core` lifecycle tests were updated to cover async
implementations for thread stop and turn abort ordering.
## Why
Extensions can observe thread and turn lifecycle events today, but there
was no single host-owned hook for changes to the effective thread
configuration. That makes features that need to react to model,
permission, or tool-suggest updates either depend on individual mutation
paths or risk going stale after runtime config refreshes.
This adds a typed config-change contributor so extension-owned state can
stay synchronized with the effective thread config while the host
remains responsible for deciding when config changed.
## What Changed
- Added `ConfigContributor<C>` to `codex_extension_api`, with
before/after immutable snapshots of the effective config plus
session/thread extension stores.
- Added registry builder/accessor support through `config_contributor`
and `config_contributors`.
- Emits config-change callbacks after committed updates from session
settings, per-turn setting updates, and `refresh_runtime_config`.
- Builds effective config snapshots only when config contributors are
registered, and suppresses no-op callbacks when the before/after
snapshots are equal.
- Added a core session regression test that verifies contributors
observe both model changes and user-layer runtime config changes,
including access to session and thread extension stores.
## Validation
Added `config_change_contributor_observes_effective_config_changes` in
`codex-rs/core/src/session/tests.rs` to cover the new contributor path.
## Why
Extensions need a stable place to observe token accounting after Codex
folds model-provider usage into the session's cached `TokenUsageInfo`.
Without a contributor hook, extension-owned features that need last-turn
or cumulative token usage have to duplicate session plumbing or infer
state from client-facing `TokenCount` notifications.
## What changed
- Added `TokenUsageContributor` to `codex-extension-api`, passing
session/thread `ExtensionData`, `ThreadId`, turn id, and the current
`TokenUsageInfo`.
- Added registry builder/storage support for token-usage contributors.
- Invoked registered contributors from
`Session::record_token_usage_info` after the session token cache is
updated and before the client `TokenCount` notification is emitted.
## Testing
- Added `record_token_usage_info_notifies_extension_contributors`,
covering cumulative token usage updates and access to both extension
stores.
## Why
Extensions can already contribute prompt, tool, turn-item, and
thread-lifecycle behavior, but there was no explicit host-owned hook for
per-turn setup and cleanup. That makes extension-private turn state
awkward: an extension either has to stash it outside the turn lifecycle
or depend on core runtime objects.
This adds a small turn lifecycle boundary. Extensions receive stable
identifiers plus the existing session, thread, and turn `ExtensionData`
stores, while core keeps owning task scheduling, cancellation, and turn
teardown.
## What Changed
- Added `TurnLifecycleContributor` with `on_turn_start`, `on_turn_stop`,
and `on_turn_abort` callbacks in `codex-rs/ext/extension-api`.
- Added typed `TurnStartInput`, `TurnStopInput`, and `TurnAbortInput`
payloads that expose `thread_id`, `turn_id`, `session_store`,
`thread_store`, and `turn_store`.
- Registered and re-exported turn lifecycle contributors through
`ExtensionRegistry` and `ExtensionRegistryBuilder`.
- Wired `Session` to emit turn start, stop, and abort callbacks from the
existing turn/task lifecycle paths.
- Carried the turn-scoped `ExtensionData` through `RunningTask` and
`RemovedTask` so stop/abort callbacks receive the same turn store
created at turn start.
## Verification
- Not run locally.
## Why
Extensions that need thread-scoped state currently only get a start-time
callback. That is enough for seeding stores, but it leaves the host
without a shared extension seam for later thread rehydrate and flush
work as thread ownership evolves. This PR turns that start-only seam
into a host-owned thread lifecycle contributor contract so
extension-private state can stay behind the extension API instead of
leaking extra orchestration through core.
## What changed
- Replaced `ThreadStartContributor` with `ThreadLifecycleContributor`
and added typed lifecycle inputs for thread start, resume, and stop. The
contract lives in
[`contributors/thread_lifecycle.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/d0e9211f70e58d6b07ef07e84f359d1b9aa25955/codex-rs/ext/extension-api/src/contributors/thread_lifecycle.rs#L1-L64).
- Kept the existing start-time behavior intact by routing session
construction through `on_thread_start`.
- Invoked `on_thread_stop` during session shutdown before thread-scoped
extension state is dropped, while isolating contributor failures behind
warning logs.
- Migrated `git-attribution` and `guardian` onto the lifecycle
registration path.
- Renamed the extension registry plumbing from start-specific
contributors to lifecycle-specific contributors.
## Notes
`on_thread_resume` is introduced at the API boundary here so extensions
can target the final lifecycle shape; host resume dispatch can be wired
where that runtime path is finalized.
## Why
`codex-core` still owns a growing amount of product-specific behavior.
This PR starts the extraction path by introducing a small, typed
first-party extension seam: features can install the contribution
families they actually own, while the host keeps lifecycle and state
ownership instead of pushing a broad service locator into the API.
