## Why
`PathUri::join` should not depend on the app-server compatibility
wrapper `LegacyAppPathString` to parse native paths. Native path parsing
belongs to the URI abstraction that it constructs.
## What
Move platform-independent native path parsing into the root `PathUri`
module. `PathUri::join` and `LegacyAppPathString` now share the
crate-private `PathUri::from_absolute_native_path` constructor.
## 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 `$HOME`, e.g.
`~/foo/bar` becomes `/home/anp/foo/bar`. It's difficult to do this with
`PathUri` joining, so after offline discussion this PR no longer
implements it.
A quick check of some power users' rollouts suggests that models don't
actually generate home-prefixed absolute working directories for their
spawns, so this shouldn't have any real blast radius.
## Why
Model-visible `<environment_context>` should match the environment of
the executor, not of the app server.
Stacked on #28146.
## What
- Keep selected environment cwd values as `PathUri` while building
environment context.
- Render cwd text using the path convention represented by the URI, with
the canonical URI as a fallback.
- Preserve compatibility with legacy `TurnContextItem.cwd` values when
reconstructing and diffing context.
- Extend the Wine-backed remote Windows test to assert that the model
sees `powershell` and `C:\windows`.
## Why
`ApiPathString` kind of implies that it can be used anywhere we pull a
path out of JSON, but it's not really appropriate for tool arguments
when the model might generate relative paths.
Prefer `String` for model-generated paths and we can handle the
conversion per feature for now and define a shared abstraction later if
it makes sense.
# What
Rename `ApiPathString` to `AppLegacyPathString` to clarify its role.
Expand the `path-types` skill to tell the model to leave tool args as
bare strings.
## Why
Ensure a consistent string format when exposing path conversion errors
to the model.
## What
- Render `PathUriParseError::InvalidFileUriPath` as `'$PATH' is invalid
on '$OS'`.
## Why
Clients running an app-server on one OS and an exec-server on another OS
need to be able to pass sandbox config to app-server that refers to
resources on the executor's foreign OS.
## What
`AbsolutePathBuf` can't represent these paths and we don't want users to
be exposed to `PathUri` yet, so this moves the public app-server API to
be expressed in terms of `ApiPathString`.
Stacked on #28165.
- change app-server v2 filesystem permission paths, including legacy
read/write roots, to `ApiPathString`
- localize API paths through `PathUri` when converting into the current
native core permission types
- make path-bearing permission conversions fallible and surface
localization failures instead of silently treating malformed grants as
ordinary denials
- propagate conversion failures through app-server and TUI approval
handling
- regenerate the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas
- leave migration TODOs on native-path conversions so they can be
removed once core permission paths use `PathUri`
## Why
Some enterprise TLS proxies issue certificate chains signed with
`ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512` / `ECDSA_NISTP521_SHA512`. Custom CA
configuration such as `SSL_CERT_FILE` can add the right trust root, but
it cannot make `rustls`'s `ring` verifier support a certificate
signature algorithm it does not advertise.
That can still break TLS after the CA bundle is configured, including on
Rust websocket paths that call the shared
`ensure_rustls_crypto_provider()` helper, such as the Responses
websocket connector and remote app-server client:
-
[`codex-api/src/endpoint/responses_websocket.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/eddc5c75ed527a8348bfcaa85692e53189600833/codex-rs/codex-api/src/endpoint/responses_websocket.rs#L441)
-
[`app-server-client/src/remote.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/eddc5c75ed527a8348bfcaa85692e53189600833/codex-rs/app-server-client/src/remote.rs#L718)
The `aws-lc-rs` `rustls` provider supports this P-521/SHA-512
certificate signature scheme, so use it as Codex's process-wide `rustls`
provider.
## What Changed
- Switch the workspace `rustls` feature from `ring` to `aws_lc_rs`.
- Update `codex-utils-rustls-provider` to install
`rustls::crypto::aws_lc_rs::default_provider()`.
- Add an assertion and integration test that the installed provider
supports `ECDSA_NISTP521_SHA512`.
## Verification

```
## Why
The prompt image cache was bounded to 32 entries, but not by the size of
those entries. A set of large encoded images could therefore retain
substantially more memory than intended. Cache hits also cloned the full
encoded payload.
## What changed
- cap the cache at 64 MiB of encoded image data while preserving its
existing 32-entry limit
- skip caching an image that exceeds the entire byte budget
- evict least-recently-used entries until the cache is back within its
byte budget
- share cached encoded bytes with `Arc<[u8]>` so cache hits do not
deep-clone image payloads
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-utils-image`
## Why
We're moving to `PathUri` in more places to support cross-OS
app-server/exec-server, but we don't want to expose the URI encoding to
users of app-server's public APIs yet.
We'll need to translate at the app-server API boundary between
client-visible "regular" paths that are appropriate for the OS of the
environment for which the paths make sense, which means using the
environment's path personality to do the conversion.
`PathUri` doesn't yet attempt to encode environment ID, so for now we'll
sniff the most likely path convention for a given path.
## What
- Add `PathConvention` and `NativePathString` with host-independent
POSIX, Windows drive, and UNC rendering.
- Cover cross-host rendering, encoding, Unicode, invalid components.
## 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.
## 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.
## Why
CCA can select a capability root that lives in an executor environment,
but
Codex only had a host-filesystem plugin loader. Before selected executor
plugins can contribute MCP servers, we need a small package boundary
that can
answer:
> Does this selected root contain a plugin, and if so, what does its
manifest
> declare?
The answer must come from the selected environment's filesystem. A
failed
executor lookup must never fall back to the orchestrator filesystem.
## What this changes
This PR introduces:
```rust
PluginProvider::resolve(root)
-> Result<Option<ResolvedPlugin>, Error>
```
`ExecutorPluginProvider` resolves one `SelectedCapabilityRoot` through
its
exact `environment_id`. It checks the recognized manifest locations,
reads the
manifest through that environment's `ExecutorFileSystem`, and returns an
inert
`ResolvedPlugin` containing:
- the opaque selected-root ID;
- the environment-bound plugin root;
- the authority-bound manifest resource;
- parsed metadata and authority-bound component locators.
Descriptor construction rejects manifest or component paths outside the
selected package root, so consumers cannot accidentally lose the package
boundary when they receive a resolved plugin.
If the root has no plugin manifest, resolution returns `None`, allowing
the
caller to treat it as a standalone capability such as a skill.
```text
selected root: repo -> env-1:/workspace/repo
|
| env-1 filesystem only
v
.codex-plugin/plugin.json
|
v
ResolvedPlugin { authority, root, manifest }
```
The existing host loader and the new executor provider now share the
same
manifest parser. Existing `codex-core-plugins::manifest` type paths
remain
available through re-exports, so host behavior and callers are
unchanged.
## Scope
This is intentionally a non-user-visible package-resolution PR. It does
not:
- parse or register plugin MCP server configurations;
- activate skills, connectors, hooks, or MCP servers;
- change app-server wiring;
- introduce host fallback, caching, or lifecycle behavior.
#27670 has merged, and this PR is now based directly on `main`. Together
with
the resolved MCP catalog from #27634, it establishes the inputs needed
for the
executor stdio MCP vertical without changing the existing MCP runtime.
## Follow-up
The next PR will consume `ResolvedPlugin`, read its declared/default MCP
config
through the same executor filesystem, bind supported stdio servers to
that
environment, and feed those registrations into the resolved MCP catalog.
An
app-server E2E will prove that selecting an executor plugin exposes and
invokes
its tool on the owning executor.
Resume/fork semantics, dynamic environment replacement, and non-stdio
placement remain separate lifecycle decisions.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-plugin -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
Test targets were compiled but not executed locally; CI will run the
test and
Clippy suites.
## Why
First-party async traits should expose their `Send` contracts explicitly
without requiring `async_trait`. This completes the migration pattern
established in #27303 and #27304.
## What changed
- Replaced the remaining first-party `async_trait` traits with native
return-position `impl Future + Send` where statically dispatched and
explicit boxed `Send` futures where object safety is required.
- Kept implementations behavior-preserving, outlining existing async
bodies into inherent methods where that keeps the diff reviewable.
- Removed all direct first-party `async-trait` dependencies and the
workspace dependency declaration.
- Added a cargo-deny policy that permits `async-trait` only through the
remaining transitive wrapper crates.
- Updated `rand` from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 to resolve RUSTSEC-2026-0097 and
keep the full cargo-deny check passing.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`: 216 passed, 2 skipped.
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`: 39 passed.
- `just test -p codex-core` and `just test`: changed tests passed;
remaining failures are environment-sensitive suites unrelated to this
migration.
- `cargo deny check`
- `just fix`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
We're moving exec-server to use PathUri for its internal path
representations.
## What
Move `ExecutorFileSystem` APIs to use `PathUri` instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf`. Future changes will convert higher-level parts of
exec-server.
## Summary
- Preserve ICC profiles and EXIF metadata when resizing and re-encoding
prompt images.
- Retain EXIF orientation metadata without rotating or otherwise
modifying the pixel data locally.
- Support metadata preservation for PNG, JPEG, and WebP outputs.
- Continue returning the original bytes when an image does not require
re-encoding.
This intentionally preserves the metadata most important for rendering
prompt images faithfully. Other format-specific metadata is not copied.
## Motivation
Client-side resizing previously discarded image metadata during
re-encoding. This could lose color-profile information and EXIF
orientation needed by downstream image consumers.

## 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.

## Summary
Add shared image-processing primitives needed for centralized image
preparation in a follow-up PR.
- Add `load_data_url_for_prompt` for decoding and preparing base64 image
data URLs.
- Add configurable maximum-dimension and 32px patch-budget resizing.
- Enforce a 1 GiB sanity limit on both encoded and decoded data-URL
representations.
- Preserve original PNG, JPEG, and WebP bytes when resizing is
unnecessary.
- Preserve the existing GIF-to-PNG behavior.
- Move image utility tests into the existing sidecar test module.
## Behavior
This PR is intended to be runtime behavior-preserving.
Existing production callers continue using
`PromptImageMode::ResizeToFit` and `PromptImageMode::Original` with
their existing semantics. The new data-URL entrypoint and configurable
resize mode have no production callers in this PR; they are used by the
next PR in the stack.
This PR does not change user-input handling, `view_image`, history
insertion, request construction, HTTP image URL forwarding, or
app-server behavior.

## Why
Discovered some rough edges in the API while making use of it more
widely within exec-server. It would be a lot more convenient for
existing users of `AbsolutePathBuf` if `PathUri` conversion methods
returned `std::io::Result`s.
## What
* `PathUri::to_native_path()` -> `PathUri::to_abs_path()`
* `PathUri::from_file_path()` -> `PathUri::from_abs_path()`
## Why
A long-running unified exec process started with `tty: false` could not
be interrupted via `write_stdin`: ordinary non-TTY stdin writes are
rejected once stdin is closed, but an exact U+0003 payload should still
map to a process interrupt. The interrupt should flow through the same
process lifecycle path as a real signal so Codex preserves
process-reported output and exit metadata instead of fabricating a
Ctrl-C exit code or tearing down the session early.
## What Changed
- Add `process/signal` to exec-server with `ProcessSignal::Interrupt`
and an empty response.
- Add a non-consuming `ProcessHandle::signal` path for spawned
processes; on Unix it sends SIGINT to the process group and leaves
terminate/hard-kill unchanged.
- Route non-TTY U+0003 `write_stdin` through `process.signal(...)`
instead of `terminate`, then let the normal post-write collection path
drain output and observe exit.
- Add exec-server coverage where a shell `trap INT` handler prints the
signal and exits with its own code.
- Add unified exec coverage where a `tty: false` process traps SIGINT,
emits output, and exits with its own code.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server
exec_process_signal_interrupts_process`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-core
write_stdin_ctrl_c_interrupts_non_tty_session`
## Why
Codex needs stable `file:` URI identifiers that can cross process and
operating-system boundaries without eagerly interpreting them as native
paths. Existing fields also need to keep accepting absolute path strings
during migration.
## What changed
- Add `codex-utils-path-uri` with a validated, immutable `PathUri`
wrapper that currently accepts only `file:` URLs.
- Expose URI-level `basename`, `parent`, and `join` operations that
preserve authorities and percent encoding without guessing the source
operating system.
- Keep native conversion explicit through `AbsolutePathBuf` and the
current host rules.
- Serialize as canonical URI text while accepting both URI text and
legacy absolute native paths during deserialization.
- Add adversarial coverage for Windows-looking and POSIX paths, UNC
authorities, encoded metadata characters, non-UTF-8 POSIX paths, URI
hierarchy operations, and legacy serde round trips.
## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Why
Interrupted `shell_command` calls can race with the outer tool-dispatch
cancellation path. When that happens, the runtime future may be dropped
before the spawned process gets a chance to run `SIGTERM` cleanup. For
bwrapd-backed Linux sandbox commands, that can leave synthetic
protected-path mount bookkeeping such as `.git/.codex` registrations
under `/tmp` behind after a TUI interruption.
The relevant cancellation points are the outer dispatch race in
[`core/src/tools/parallel.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/tools/parallel.rs#L91-L132)
and the process shutdown logic in
[`core/src/exec.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/exec.rs#L1367-L1393).
## What changed
- Keep `shell_command` dispatch alive long enough for the runtime to
finish cancellation cleanup instead of immediately returning the
synthetic aborted response.
- Fold shell-turn cancellation into the existing `ExecExpiration` path
in
[`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell.rs#L267-L274),
so cancellation and timeout behavior stay centralized.
- On cancellation, send `SIGTERM` first, wait briefly for cleanup to
run, then hard-kill any remaining descendants in the original process
group.
- Treat `ESRCH` as an already-gone process-group cleanup case in
`codex-utils-pty`, which keeps best-effort teardown from surfacing a
stale-process race as an error.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core cancellation`
- Added regression coverage for:
- `shell_tool_cancellation_waits_for_runtime_cleanup`
- `process_exec_tool_call_cancellation_allows_sigterm_cleanup`
## Summary
- Bump the workspace Rust toolchain from `1.93.0` to `1.95.0` across
Cargo, Bazel, CI, release workflows, devcontainers, and the Codex
environment config.
- Refresh `MODULE.bazel.lock` so the Bazel Rust toolchain artifacts
match the new version.
- Leave purpose-specific toolchains unchanged, including the
`argument-comment-lint` nightly and the upstream `rusty_v8` `1.91.0`
build pin.
- Includes fixes for new lints from `just fix` and a few codex-authored
fixes for lints without a suggestion.
## Summary
- add Divan benchmarks for prompt image re-encoding paths
- wire the image benchmark smoke test into Rust CI workflows
## Why
Image prompt handling includes re-encoding work that benefits from
repeatable benchmark coverage so changes can be measured in CI and
locally.
This already helped identify a potential regression from changing compiler flags.
## Impact
Developers can run and compare the new image re-encoding benchmarks, and
CI exercises the benchmark target via the Rust benchmark smoke test.
`cargo test` for the core and other crates fails on a fresh macOS
checkout without the right stack size variable. This change encourages
using the just test command that sets the environment up correctly.
As a bonus, this should encourage agents to get more benefit out of
nextest's parallel execution.
## Why
Profile v2 is taking over the user-facing profile selection path, so the
CLI no longer needs to expose the transitional `--profile-v2` spelling.
This switches the public args surface to `--profile` before the
remaining legacy profile plumbing is removed separately.
## What
- Rebind `--profile` and `-p` to the v2 profile name argument that
selects `$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml`.
- Stop parsing the legacy shared CLI profile argument while keeping its
implementation path in place for follow-up cleanup.
- Update CLI validation, profile-name parse errors, and the
legacy-profile collision message/tests to refer to `--profile`.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-cli -p codex-config -p codex-protocol -p
codex-utils-cli`
add new `EncryptedContent` variant to `FunctionCallOutputContentItem`
ahead of standalone websearch.
we need to be able to receive and pass encrypted function call output
from the new web search endpoint back to responsesapi, as we cannot
expose direct search results.
Addresses #23181
## Why
Renamed threads can share names, so hints that suggest resuming directly
by name are ambiguous. Issue #23181 asks for the picker hint to include
the thread name and thread ID in parens so users can disambiguate
safely.
## What
- Adds a shared resume hint formatter for named threads: run `codex
resume`, then select `<name> (<thread-id>)`.
- Uses that hint for /rename confirmations, TUI session summaries, and
CLI/TUI exit messages.
- Keeps direct `codex resume <thread-id>` guidance for unnamed threads.
## Verification
Manually verified that message after `/rename` and after `/exit` include
session ID in parens.

## Why
This continues the permissions migration by keeping the TUI command
boundary aligned with the app-server protocol direction from #22795:
callers should select a permission profile by id instead of passing a
concrete `PermissionProfile` value around as the turn configuration.
`AppCommand` is internal to the TUI, but it is the path that eventually
becomes `thread/turn/start`, so carrying concrete profile details there
made it too easy for UI code to keep relying on the old whole-profile
replacement model.
## What changed
- `AppCommand::UserTurn` and `AppCommand::OverrideTurnContext` now carry
`Option<ActivePermissionProfile>` instead of `PermissionProfile`.
- Composer submissions copy the active permission profile id from the
current session snapshot; legacy snapshots intentionally submit no
active profile id.
- Permission preset UI events now carry only the active built-in profile
id. The app derives the concrete built-in `PermissionProfile` internally
only when updating its local config/status snapshot.
- Permission presets expose their built-in active profile id, and preset
selection preserves that id in both the immediate turn override and the
local TUI config snapshot.
- Turn routing sends `TurnPermissionsOverride::ActiveProfile` when an
active id is present, and only falls back to the legacy sandbox
projection for the remaining runtime override path.
## How to review
Start with `codex-rs/tui/src/app_command.rs` to verify the command shape
no longer exposes `PermissionProfile`.
Then read `codex-rs/tui/src/app/thread_routing.rs` to verify the
app-server turn-start conversion: active ids go through as ids, while
the legacy sandbox fallback is still constrained to the existing runtime
override case.
Finally, check `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/permission_popups.rs`,
`codex-rs/tui/src/app/event_dispatch.rs`,
`codex-rs/tui/src/app/config_persistence.rs`, and
`codex-rs/utils/approval-presets/src/lib.rs` to see how preset
selections stay id-only across TUI events while the local display/config
mirror still gets a concrete built-in profile.
## Verification
Latest local verification after the id-only `AppEvent` cleanup:
- `cargo check -p codex-tui --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
permissions_selection_sends_approvals_reviewer_in_override_turn_context`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui update_feature_flags_enabling_guardian`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui -p codex-utils-approval-presets`

- `cargo test -p codex-tui submission_`

- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-tui`
## Why
#22580 made app-server startup fail when the local SQLite state database
cannot be initialized. Embedded/local TUI startup still continued on the
permissive path, which left the CLI inconsistent and could hide a real
startup problem behind unrelated UI. This brings local TUI startup onto
the same fail-closed behavior while keeping recovery humane for the two
failure modes we are seeing in practice: damaged database files and
startup stalls caused by another process holding the database write
lock.
## What changed
- Embedded TUI startup now uses `state_db::try_init(...)` and returns a
typed `LocalStateDbStartupError` that preserves the affected database
path plus the underlying failure detail.
- CLI startup handles that failure before entering the interactive TUI:
- lock-contention failures tell users to quit other Codex processes and
try again
- failures consistent with a broken local database offer a safe repair
that backs up Codex-owned SQLite files, rebuilds local database files,
and retries startup once
- declined or unsuccessful repairs print concise guidance plus technical
details
- Shared startup error plumbing lives in `tui/src/startup_error.rs`,
while CLI recovery policy and focused recovery tests live in
`cli/src/state_db_recovery.rs`.
## Verification

## Why
This is the configuration/model half of the alternative permissions
migration we discussed as a comparison point for
[#22401](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22401) and
[#22402](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22402).
The old `workspace-write` model mixes three concerns that we want to
keep separate:
- reusable profile rules that should stay immutable once selected
- user/runtime workspace roots from `cwd`, `--add-dir`, and legacy
workspace-write config
- internal Codex writable roots such as memories, which should not be
shown as user workspace roots
This PR gives permission profiles first-class `workspace_roots` so users
can opt multiple repositories into the same `:workspace_roots` rules
without using broad absolute-path write grants. It also starts
separating the raw selected profile from the effective runtime profile
by making `Permissions` expose explicit accessors instead of public
mutable fields.
A representative `config.toml` looks like this:
```toml
default_permissions = "dev"
[permissions.dev.workspace_roots]
"~/code/openai" = true
"~/code/developers-website" = true
[permissions.dev.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
".codex" = "read"
".git" = "read"
".vscode" = "read"
```
If Codex starts in `~/code/codex` with that profile selected, the
effective workspace-root set becomes:
- `~/code/codex` from the runtime `cwd`
- `~/code/openai` from the profile
- `~/code/developers-website` from the profile
The `:workspace_roots` rules are materialized across each root, so
`.git`, `.codex`, and `.vscode` stay scoped the same way everywhere.
Runtime additions such as `--add-dir` can still layer on later stack
entries without mutating the selected profile.
## Stack Shape
This PR intentionally stops before the profile-identity cleanup in
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) so the base review
stays focused on config loading, workspace-root materialization, and
compatibility with legacy `workspace-write`.
The representation in this PR is therefore transitional: `Permissions`
carries enough state to distinguish the raw constrained profile from the
effective runtime profile, and there are still call sites that must keep
the active profile identity and constrained profile value in sync. The
follow-up PR replaces that with a single resolved profile state
(`ResolvedPermissionProfile` / `PermissionProfileState`) that keeps the
profile id, immutable `PermissionProfile`, and profile-declared
workspace roots together. That follow-up removes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` where
separate arguments could drift out of sync.
Downstream PRs then build on this base to switch app-server turn updates
to profile ids plus runtime workspace roots and to finish the
user-visible summary behavior. Reviewers should judge this PR as the
workspace-roots foundation, not as the final in-memory shape of selected
permission profiles.
## Review Guide
Suggested review order:
1. Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs`.
This is the main shape change in the base slice. `Permissions` now
stores a private raw `Constrained<PermissionProfile>` plus runtime
`workspace_roots`. Callers use `permission_profile()` when they need the
raw constrained value and `effective_permission_profile()` when they
need a materialized runtime profile. As noted above,
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) replaces this
transitional shape with a resolved profile state that keeps identity and
profile data together.
2. Review `codex-rs/config/src/permissions_toml.rs` and
`codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions.rs`.
These add `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]`, resolve enabled entries
relative to the policy cwd, and keep `:workspace_roots` deny-read glob
patterns symbolic until the actual roots are known.
3. Review `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` and
`codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`.
These add the policy/profile materialization helpers that expand exact
`:workspace_roots` entries and scoped deny-read globs over every
workspace root. This is also where `ActivePermissionProfileModification`
is removed from the core model.
4. Review the legacy bridge in
`Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides` and
`Config::set_legacy_sandbox_policy`.
This is where legacy `workspace-write` roots become runtime workspace
roots, while Codex internal writable roots stay internal and do not
appear as user-facing workspace roots.
5. Then skim downstream call sites.
The interesting pattern is raw-vs-effective access: state/proxy/bwrap
paths keep the raw constrained profile, while execution, summaries, and
user-visible status use the effective profile and workspace-root list.
## What Changed
- added `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` to the config model and
schema
- added runtime `workspace_roots` state to `Config`/`Permissions` and
`ConfigOverrides`
- made `Permissions` profile fields private and replaced direct mutation
with accessors/setters
- added `PermissionProfile` and `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` helpers for
materializing `:workspace_roots` exact paths and deny-read globs across
all roots
- moved legacy additional writable roots into runtime workspace-root
state instead of active profile modifications
- removed `ActivePermissionProfileModification` and its app-server
protocol/schema export
- updated sandbox/status summary paths so internal writable roots are
not reported as user workspace roots
## Verification Strategy
The targeted tests cover the behavior at the layers where regressions
are most likely:
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/config_tests.rs` verifies config loading,
legacy workspace-root seeding, effective profile materialization, and
memory-root handling.
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions_tests.rs` verifies profile
`workspace_roots` parsing and `:workspace_roots` scoped/glob
compilation.
- `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` unit tests verify exact and
glob materialization over multiple workspace roots.
- `codex-rs/tui/src/status/tests.rs` and
`codex-rs/utils/sandbox-summary/src/sandbox_summary.rs` verify the
user-facing summaries show effective workspace roots and hide internal
writes.
I also ran `cargo check --tests` locally after the latest stack refresh
to catch cross-crate API breakage from the private-field/accessor
changes.

## Why
The TUI still had a few low-risk dependencies flowing through the
transitional `legacy_core` namespace after the app-server migration.
These helpers either already have clearer non-core owners or are
presentation logic that does not belong in `codex-core`, so moving them
out reduces the compatibility surface without changing product behavior.
## What changed
This is a low-risk change, almost completely mechanical in nature.
- Route TUI Codex-home lookup through `codex-utils-home-dir`, use
`Config::log_dir` directly, and call
`codex-sandboxing::system_bwrap_warning` without going through
`legacy_core`.
- Move shared `codex resume` hint formatting from `codex-core` into
`codex-utils-cli`.
- Update CLI and TUI call sites to use the shared CLI utility, and keep
the resume-command behavior covered by tests in its new home.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli resume_command`
## Why
`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.
That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.
## What Changed
- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.
## Limits
`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.
Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:
- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes
## Verification
Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

## Test Plan
Test local cli build + make sure backend returns appropriate apps
```
cd ~/code/codex/codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex
./target/debug/codex
```
Appropriate apps show up in my list
## Why
Codex intentionally ignores unknown `config.toml` fields by default so
older and newer config files keep working across versions. That leniency
also makes typo detection hard because misspelled or misplaced keys
disappear silently.
This change adds an opt-in strict config mode so users and tooling can
fail fast on unrecognized config fields without changing the default
permissive behavior.
This feature is possible because `serde_ignored` exposes the exact
signal Codex needs: it lets Codex run ordinary Serde deserialization
while recording fields Serde would otherwise ignore. That avoids
requiring `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` across every config type and
keeps strict validation opt-in around the existing config model.
## What Changed
### Added strict config validation
- Added `serde_ignored`-based validation for `ConfigToml` in
`codex-rs/config/src/strict_config.rs`.
- Combined `serde_ignored` with `serde_path_to_error` so strict mode
preserves typed config error paths while also collecting fields Serde
would otherwise ignore.
- Added strict-mode validation for unknown `[features]` keys, including
keys that would otherwise be accepted by `FeaturesToml`'s flattened
boolean map.
- Kept typed config errors ahead of ignored-field reporting, so
malformed known fields are reported before unknown-field diagnostics.
- Added source-range diagnostics for top-level and nested unknown config
fields, including non-file managed preference source names.
### Kept parsing single-pass per source
- Reworked file and managed-config loading so strict validation reuses
the already parsed `TomlValue` for that source.
- For actual config files and managed config strings, the loader now
reads once, parses once, and validates that same parsed value instead of
deserializing multiple times.
- Validated `-c` / `--config` override layers with the same
base-directory context used for normal relative-path resolution, so
unknown override keys are still reported when another override contains
a relative path.
### Scoped `--strict-config` to config-heavy entry points
- Added support for `--strict-config` on the main config-loading entry
points where it is most useful:
- `codex`
- `codex resume`
- `codex fork`
- `codex exec`
- `codex review`
- `codex mcp-server`
- `codex app-server` when running the server itself
- the standalone `codex-app-server` binary
- the standalone `codex-exec` binary
- Commands outside that set now reject `--strict-config` early with
targeted errors instead of accepting it everywhere through shared CLI
plumbing.
- `codex app-server` subcommands such as `proxy`, `daemon`, and
`generate-*` are intentionally excluded from the first rollout.
- When app-server strict mode sees invalid config, app-server exits with
the config error instead of logging a warning and continuing with
defaults.
- Introduced a dedicated `ReviewCommand` wrapper in `codex-rs/cli`
instead of extending shared `ReviewArgs`, so `--strict-config` stays on
the outer config-loading command surface and does not become part of the
reusable review payload used by `codex exec review`.
### Coverage
- Added tests for top-level and nested unknown config fields, unknown
`[features]` keys, typed-error precedence, source-location reporting,
and non-file managed preference source names.
- Added CLI coverage showing invalid `--enable`, invalid `--disable`,
and unknown `-c` overrides still error when `--strict-config` is
present, including compound-looking feature names such as
`multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`.
- Added integration coverage showing both `codex app-server
--strict-config` and standalone `codex-app-server --strict-config` exit
with an error for unknown config fields instead of starting with
fallback defaults.
- Added coverage showing unsupported command surfaces reject
`--strict-config` with explicit errors.
## Example Usage
Run Codex with strict config validation enabled:
```shell
codex --strict-config
```
Strict config mode is also available on the supported config-heavy
subcommands:
```shell
codex --strict-config exec "explain this repository"
codex review --strict-config --uncommitted
codex mcp-server --strict-config
codex app-server --strict-config --listen off
codex-app-server --strict-config --listen off
```
For example, if `~/.codex/config.toml` contains a typo in a key name:
```toml
model = "gpt-5"
approval_polic = "on-request"
```
then `codex --strict-config` reports the misspelled key instead of
silently ignoring it. The path is shortened to `~` here for readability:
```text
$ codex --strict-config
Error loading config.toml:
~/.codex/config.toml:2:1: unknown configuration field `approval_polic`
|
2 | approval_polic = "on-request"
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
Without `--strict-config`, Codex keeps the existing permissive behavior
and ignores the unknown key.
Strict config mode also validates ad-hoc `-c` / `--config` overrides:
```text
$ codex --strict-config -c foo=bar
Error: unknown configuration field `foo` in -c/--config override
$ codex --strict-config -c features.foo=true
Error: unknown configuration field `features.foo` in -c/--config override
```
Invalid feature toggles are rejected too, including values that look
like nested config paths:
```text
$ codex --strict-config --enable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist
$ codex --strict-config --disable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist
$ codex --strict-config --enable multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
Error: Unknown feature flag: multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
```
Unsupported commands reject the flag explicitly:
```text
$ codex --strict-config cloud list
Error: `--strict-config` is not supported for `codex cloud`
```
## Verification
The `codex-cli` `strict_config` tests cover invalid `--enable`, invalid
`--disable`, the compound `multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`
case, unknown `-c` overrides, app-server strict startup failure through
`codex app-server`, and rejection for unsupported commands such as
`codex cloud`, `codex mcp`, `codex remote-control`, and `codex
app-server proxy`.
The config and config-loader tests cover unknown top-level fields,
unknown nested fields, unknown `[features]` keys, source-location
reporting, non-file managed config sources, and `-c` validation for keys
such as `features.foo`.
The app-server test suite covers standalone `codex-app-server
--strict-config` startup failure for an unknown config field.
## Documentation
The Codex CLI docs on developers.openai.com/codex should mention
`--strict-config` as an opt-in validation mode for supported
config-heavy entry points once this ships.
# Why
Hook trust happens through the TUI in `/hooks` so it can block
non-interactive use cases. This flag will allow users that are using
codex headlessly to bypass hooks when they want to.
# What
This adds one invocation-scoped escape hatch.
- the CLI flag sets a runtime-only `bypass_hook_trust` override; there
is no durable `config.toml` setting
- hook discovery still respects normal enablement, so explicitly
disabled hooks remain disabled
- we show a `--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust is enabled. Enabled hooks
may run without review for this invocation.` message on startup so
accidental use is visible in both interactive and exec flows
This keeps “enabled” and “trusted” as separate concepts in the normal
path, while giving CI/E2E callers a stable way to opt into the
exceptional path when they already control the hook set.
## Summary
`cargo test` has entails both running standard Rust tests and doctests.
It turns out that the doctest discovery is fairly slow, and it's a cost
you pay even for crates that don't include any doctests.
This PR disables doctests with `doctest = false` for crates that lack
any doctests.
For the collection of crates below, this speeds up test execution by
>4x.

## Why
On Windows, background terminals could stay visible after their shell
process had already exited. The elevated runner waits for the PTY output
reader to reach EOF before it sends the final exit message, but the
ConPTY helper was reducing ownership down to raw handles too early. That
left the pseudoconsole's borrowed pipe handles alive past teardown, so
EOF never propagated and the session stayed `running`.
## What changed
- change `utils/pty/src/win/conpty.rs` to hand off owned ConPTY
resources instead of leaking only raw handles
- make `windows-sandbox-rs/src/conpty/mod.rs` keep the pseudoconsole
owner and the backing pipe handles together until teardown
- update the elevated runner and the legacy unified-exec backend to keep
that `ConptyInstance` alive, take only the specific pipe handles they
need, and drop the owner at teardown instead of trying to close a
detached pseudoconsole handle later
## Testing
- desktop app in `Auto-review`: 11 x `cmd /c "ping -n 3 google.com"` all
exited cleanly and did not accumulate in the UI
- desktop app in `Auto-review`: 5 x `cmd /c "ping -n 30 google.com"`
appeared in the UI and drained back out on their own
## Why
`x-codex-turn-metadata` is sent as an HTTP/WebSocket header, but Codex
was serializing the metadata JSON with raw UTF-8 string contents. When a
workspace path contains non-ASCII characters, common HTTP stacks can
reject or corrupt that header before the request reaches the provider.
Fixes#17468. Also addresses the duplicate WebSocket report in #19581.
## What changed
- Added `codex_utils_string::to_ascii_json_string`, a shared helper that
serializes JSON normally while escaping non-ASCII string content as
`\uXXXX`.
- Switched turn metadata header serialization, including merged
Responses API client metadata, to use the ASCII-safe JSON helper.
- Added coverage for non-ASCII workspace paths and non-ASCII client
metadata while preserving the same parsed JSON values.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-string`
- `cargo test -p codex-core turn_metadata`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
Some improvements to Windows process-management issues from
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15578
- bound the elevated runner pipe-connect handshake instead of waiting
forever on blocking pipe connects
- terminate the spawned runner if that handshake fails, so timeout/error
paths do not leave a stray `codex-command-runner.exe`
- loop on partial `WriteFile` results when forwarding stdin in the
elevated runner, so input is not silently truncated
- fix the concrete HANDLE/SID cleanup paths in the runner setup code
- keep draining driver-backed stdout/stderr after exit until the backend
closes, instead of dropping the tail after a fixed 200ms grace period
- reuse `LocalSid` for SID ownership and add more explanatory comments
around the ownership/concurrency-sensitive code paths
## Why
The original PR fixed a lot of Windows session plumbing, but there were
still a few sharp process-lifecycle edges:
- some elevated runner handshakes could block forever
- the new timeout path could still orphan the spawned runner process
- stdin forwarding still assumed a single `WriteFile` consumed the whole
buffer
- a few raw HANDLE/SID error paths still leaked
- driver-backed output could still lose the last chunk of stdout/stderr
on slower backends
## Validation
- `cargo fmt -p codex-windows-sandbox -p codex-utils-pty`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-pty`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox finish_driver_spawn`
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox runner_`
Ran a local test matrix of unified-exec and shell_tool tests, all
passing
## Summary
Starts the process of getting rid of `--full-auto`, with some
concessions:
1. Fully removes the command from the tui, since it just resolves to the
default permissions there, and encourages users to use the one-time
trust flow if they're not in a trusted repo.
2. Marks the command as deprecated in `codex exec`, in case users are
actively relying on this. We'll remove in an upcoming n+X release.
3. Cleans up some of the `codex sandbox` cli logic, to keep supporting
legacy sandbox policies for now.
This isn't the cleanest setup, but I think it is worthwhile to warn
users for one release before hard-removing it.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests
## Why
The remaining migration work still needs `SandboxPolicy` at a few
compatibility boundaries, but those projections should come from one
canonical path. Keeping ad hoc legacy projections scattered through
app-server, CLI, and config code makes it easy for behavior to drift as
`PermissionProfile` gains fidelity that the legacy enum cannot
represent.
## What Changed
- Adds `Permissions::legacy_sandbox_policy(cwd)` and
`Config::legacy_sandbox_policy()` as the compatibility projection from
the canonical `PermissionProfile`.
- Adds `Permissions::can_set_legacy_sandbox_policy()` so legacy inputs
are checked after they are converted into profile semantics.
- Updates app-server command handling, Windows sandbox setup, session
configuration, and sandbox summaries to use the centralized projection
helper.
- Leaves `SandboxPolicy` in place only for boundary inputs/outputs that
still speak the legacy abstraction.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-sandboxing -p
codex-app-server -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui

* #19737
* #19736
* #19735
* __->__ #19734
## Why
This supersedes #19391. During stack repair, GitHub marked #19391 as
merged into a temporary stack branch rather than into `main`, so the
runtime-config change needed a fresh PR.
`PermissionProfile` is now the canonical permissions shape after #19231
because it can distinguish `Managed`, `Disabled`, and `External`
enforcement while also carrying filesystem rules that legacy
`SandboxPolicy` cannot represent cleanly. Core config and session state
still needed to accept profile-backed permissions without forcing every
profile through the strict legacy bridge, which rejected valid runtime
profiles such as direct write roots.
The unrelated CI/test hardening that previously rode along with this PR
has been split into #19683 so this PR stays focused on the permissions
model migration.
## What Changed
- Adds `Permissions.permission_profile` and
`SessionConfiguration.permission_profile` as constrained runtime state,
while keeping `sandbox_policy` as a legacy compatibility projection.
- Introduces profile setters that keep `PermissionProfile`, split
filesystem/network policies, and legacy `SandboxPolicy` projections
synchronized.
- Uses a compatibility projection for requirement checks and legacy
consumers instead of rejecting profiles that cannot round-trip through
`SandboxPolicy` exactly.
- Updates config loading, config overrides, session updates, turn
context plumbing, prompt permission text, sandbox tags, and exec request
construction to carry profile-backed runtime permissions.
- Preserves configured deny-read entries and `glob_scan_max_depth` when
command/session profiles are narrowed.
- Adds `PermissionProfile::read_only()` and
`PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` presets that match legacy
defaults.
## Verification

## Summary
Fix a Bazel-only path resolution bug in
`codex_utils_cargo_bin::cargo_bin`.
Under Bazel runfiles, `rlocation` can return a relative `bazel-out/...`
path even though `cargo_bin()` documents that it returns an absolute
path. That can break callers that store the returned binary path and
later spawn it after changing cwd, because the relative path is resolved
from the wrong directory.
This patch absolutizes the runfiles-resolved path before returning it.
