## Why
`session_id` and `thread_id` are separate identities after #20437, but
app-server only surfaced `sessionId` on the `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, and `thread/fork` response envelopes. Other
thread-bearing surfaces such as `thread/list`, `thread/read`,
`thread/started`, `thread/rollback`, `thread/metadata/update`, and
`thread/unarchive` either lacked the grouping key or forced clients to
special-case those three responses.
Making `sessionId` part of the reusable `Thread` payload gives every v2
API surface one place to expose session-tree identity.
## Mental model
1. thread.sessionId lives on `Thread`
2. It is a view/runtime identity for the current live session tree, not
durable stored lineage metadata
3. When app-server has a live loaded thread, it copies the real value
from core’s session_configured.session_id
4. When it only has stored/unloaded data, it falls back to
thread.sessionId = thread.id
## What changed
- Added `sessionId` to the v2
[`Thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/thread_data.rs#L105-L109).
- Removed the duplicate top-level `sessionId` fields from
`thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork`; clients should now
read `response.thread.sessionId`.
- Populated `thread.sessionId` when building live thread responses,
replaying loaded threads, and returning stored-thread summaries so the
field is present across start, resume, fork, list, read, rollback,
metadata-update, unarchive, and `thread/started` paths. See
[`load_thread_from_resume_source_or_send_internal`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L2824-L2918)
and
[`thread_from_stored_thread`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/src/request_processors/thread_processor.rs#L3671-L3719).
- Preserved the stored-thread fallback: if a thread has not been loaded
into a live session tree yet, `thread.sessionId` falls back to
`thread.id`; once the thread is live again, the field reports the active
session tree root.
- Regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schemas and updated the app-server
README examples to show
[`thread.sessionId`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8fc9e9b4cf81b6f61d432e71f1eb266f6f104b63/codex-rs/app-server/README.md#L306-L310)
on the thread object.
## Summary
- make `thread_source` an explicit optional thread-level field on
`thread/start`, `thread/fork`, and returned thread payloads
- persist `thread_source` in rollout/session metadata so resumed live
threads retain the original value
- replace the old best-effort `session_source` -> `thread_source`
mapping with an explicit caller-supplied analytics classification
## Why
Before this change, analytics `thread_source` was populated by a
best-effort mapping from `session_source`. `session_source` describes
the runtime/client surface, not the actual thread-level origin, so that
projection was not accurate enough to distinguish cases such as `user`,
`subagent`, `memory_consolidation`, and future thread origins reliably.
Making `thread_source` explicit keeps one thread-level analytics field
while letting callers provide the real classification directly instead
of recovering it indirectly from `session_source`.
## Impact
For new analytics events, `thread_source` now reflects the explicit
thread-level classification supplied by the caller rather than an
inferred value derived from `session_source`. Existing protocol fields
remain optional; callers that omit `threadSource` now produce `null`
instead of a best-effort inferred value.
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics -p codex-core -p
codex-app-server-protocol --no-run`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
generated_ts_optional_nullable_fields_only_in_params`
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics
thread_initialized_event_serializes_expected_shape`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
resume_stopped_thread_from_rollout_preserves_thread_source`
## Why
Codex analytics needs a typed seam for app-server-originated
request/response traffic so future tool-approval analytics can consume
those facts without adding bespoke callsite tracking each time. Server
responses arrive as JSON-RPC `id + result` payloads, so analytics has to
reconstruct the matching typed response from the original typed request
while that request context still exists in app-server.
This also puts analytics on the app-server outbound path, which needs to
avoid keeping the runtime alive during shutdown. The final ownership fix
keeps the normal strong auth-manager retention in analytics and makes
the external-auth refresh bridge hold a weak back-reference to
`OutgoingMessageSender`, breaking the runtime cycle at the bridge
boundary instead of exposing retention policy through the analytics
client API.
## What changed
- Adds typed `ServerRequest` and `ServerResponse` analytics facts, plus
`AnalyticsEventsClient::track_server_request` and
`track_server_response`.
- Renames the existing client-side facts to `ClientRequest` and
`ClientResponse` so reducers can distinguish client-to-server traffic
from server-to-client traffic.
- Adds `ServerRequest::response_from_result`, allowing a stored typed
request to decode the matching typed server response from a raw JSON-RPC
result payload.
- Threads `AnalyticsEventsClient` through `OutgoingMessageSender` and
records targeted server requests, replayed targeted requests, and
matching targeted responses with the responding connection id needed for
correlation.
- Intentionally leaves broadcast server requests/responses out of
analytics for now because the current model is per connection, while
broadcasts fan one logical request out across multiple connections.
- Breaks the app-server shutdown cycle by storing
`Weak<OutgoingMessageSender>` in `ExternalAuthRefreshBridge` and
upgrading it only when an external-auth refresh is actually requested.
- Keeps reducer ingestion of the new server-side facts as no-ops for
now; this PR is plumbing for later tool-approval analytics work.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server outgoing_message::tests::`
- Covers typed-response reconstruction plus the targeted, replayed,
broadcast-exclusion, and response-attribution analytics paths.
## Follow-up
This PR intentionally stops at ingestion plumbing, so `ServerRequest`
and `ServerResponse` facts are still reducer no-ops. Once a follow-up PR
adds real downstream analytics output for those facts:
- replace the temporary pre-reducer observation seam with reducer tests
for the emitted event shape;
- add end-to-end coverage in `app-server/tests/suite/v2/analytics.rs`
for the real app-server workflow and captured analytics payload;
- remove the temporary sender-level observer tests added here in favor
of the real-output coverage above.

Currently app-server may unload actively running threads once the last
connection disconnects, which is not expected.
Instead track when was the last active turn & when there were any
subscribers the last time, also add 30 minute idleness/no subscribers
timer to reduce the churn.
Addresses #16560
Problem: `/status` stopped showing the source thread id in forked TUI
sessions after the app-server migration.
Solution: Carry fork source ids through app-server v2 thread data and
the TUI session adapter, and update TUI fixtures so `/status` matches
the old TUI behavior.
## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
## 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
Currently we emit `thread/status/changed` with `Idle` status right
before sending `thread/started` event (which also has `Idle` status in
it).
It feels that there is no point in that as client has no way to know
prior state of the thread as it didn't exist yet, so silence these kinds
of notifications.
Adds a new v2 app-server API for a client to be able to unsubscribe to a
thread:
- New RPC method: `thread/unsubscribe`
- New server notification: `thread/closed`
Today clients can start/resume/archive threads, but there wasn’t a way
to explicitly unload a live thread from memory without archiving it.
With `thread/unsubscribe`, a client can indicate it is no longer
actively working with a live Thread. If this is the only client
subscribed to that given thread, the thread will be automatically closed
by app-server, at which point the server will send `thread/closed` and
`thread/status/changed` with `status: notLoaded` notifications.
This gives clients a way to prevent long-running app-server processes
from accumulating too many thread (and related) objects in memory.
Closed threads will also be removed from `thread/loaded/list`.
## Summary
- add graceful websocket app-server restart on Ctrl-C by draining until
no assistant turns are running
- stop the websocket acceptor and disconnect existing connections once
the drain condition is met
- add a websocket integration test that verifies Ctrl-C waits for an
in-flight turn before exit
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server --quiet`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
suite::v2::connection_handling_websocket`
- I (maxj) tested remote and local Codex.app

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
## Why
`thread/resume` responses for already-running threads can be reported as
`Idle` even while a turn is still in progress. This is caused by a
timing window where the runtime watch state has not yet observed the
running-thread transition, so API clients can receive stale status
information at resume time.
Possibly related: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11786
## What
- Add a shared status normalization helper, `resolve_thread_status`, in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/thread_status.rs` that resolves
`Idle`/`NotLoaded` to `Active { active_flags: [] }` when an in-progress
turn is known.
- Reuse this helper across thread response paths in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs` (including
`thread/start`, `thread/unarchive`, `thread/read`, `thread/resume`,
`thread/fork`, and review/thread-started notification responses).
- In `handle_pending_thread_resume_request`, use both the in-memory
`active_turn_snapshot` and the resumed rollout turns to decide whether a
turn is in progress before resolving thread status for the response.
- Extend `thread_status` tests to validate the new status-resolution
behavior directly.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
suite::v2::thread_resume::thread_resume_rejoins_running_thread_even_with_override_mismatch`
Exposes through the app server updated names set for a thread. This
enables other surfaces to use the core as the source of truth for thread
naming. `threadName` is gathered using the helper functions used to
interact with `session_index.jsonl`, and is hydrated in:
- `thread/list`
- `thread/read`
- `thread/resume`
- `thread/unarchive`
- `thread/rollback`
We don't do this for `thread/start` and `thread/fork`.
Motivation
- Today, a newly connected client has no direct way to determine the
current runtime status of threads from read/list responses alone.
- This forces clients to infer state from transient events, which can
lead to stale or inconsistent UI when reconnecting or attaching late.
Changes
- Add `status` to `thread/read` responses.
- Add `statuses` to `thread/list` responses.
- Emit `thread/status/changed` notifications with `threadId` and the new
status.
- Track runtime status for all loaded threads and default unknown
threads to `idle`.
- Update protocol/docs/tests/schema fixtures for the revised API.
Testing
- Validated protocol API changes with automated protocol tests and
regenerated schema/type fixtures.
- Validated app-server behavior with unit and integration test suites,
including status transitions and notifications.
