• Add SubagentStop hook (#22873)

  # What
  
  <img width="1792" height="1024" alt="image"

  />
  
  `SubagentStop` runs when a thread-spawned subagent turn is about to
  finish. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStop` instead of the
  normal root-agent `Stop` hook.
  
  Configured handlers match on `agent_type`. Hook input includes the
  normal stop fields plus:
  
  - `agent_id`: the child thread id.
  - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
  - `agent_transcript_path`: the child subagent transcript path.
  - `transcript_path`: the parent thread transcript path.
  - `last_assistant_message`: the final assistant message from the child
  turn, when available.
  - `stop_hook_active`: `true` when the child is already continuing
  because an earlier stop-like hook blocked completion.
  
  `SubagentStop` shares the same completion-control semantics as `Stop`,
  scoped to the child turn:
  
  - No decision allows the child turn to finish.
  - `decision: "block"` with a non-empty `reason` records that reason as
  hook feedback and continues the child with that prompt.
  - `continue: false` stops the child turn. If `stopReason` is present,
  Codex surfaces it as the stop reason.
  
  # Lifecycle Scope
  
  Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStop`.
  
  Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
  and Other do not run normal `Stop` hooks and do not run `SubagentStop`.
  This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal
  implementation paths.

  2. This PR: add `SubagentStop`.
  3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.

• Add SubagentStart hook (#22782)

  # What
  
  `SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent,
  before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned
  subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent
  `SessionStart` hook.
  
  Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same
  value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex
  uses the default agent type.
  
  Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus:
  
  - `agent_id`: the child thread id.
  - `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
  
  `SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That
  context is added to the child conversation before the first model
  request.
  
  # Lifecycle Scope
  
  Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`.
  
  Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
  and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run
  `SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for
  internal implementation paths.
  
  Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches
  behavior with other coding agents' implementation

• feat: add layered --profile-v2 config files (#17141)

  ## 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.

• Spill oversized PreToolUse additionalContext (#22529)

  # Why
  
  `PreToolUse.additionalContext` became model-visible after #20692, but
  the hook-output spilling path from #21069 never picked up that newer
  lane. As a result, oversized `PreToolUse` context could bypass the
  truncation/spill treatment that already applies to the other hook
  outputs Codex forwards to the model.
  
  # What
  
  - Run `PreToolUseOutcome.additional_contexts` through
  `maybe_spill_texts(...)`
  - Add an integration test proving a large `PreToolUse.additionalContext`
  is replaced with a truncated preview plus spill-file pointer, while the
  full text is preserved on disk.

• add --dangerously-bypass-hook-trust CLI flag (#21768)

  # 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.

• Use root repo hooks in linked worktrees (#21969)

  # Why
  
  Linked worktrees currently load their own project hook declarations, so
  the same repo can present different hook definitions depending on which
  checkout is active. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21762 tried to
  share trust by giving matching worktree hooks a shared synthetic key,
  but review pointed out that divergent worktree hook definitions would
  then fight over one `trusted_hash`.
  
  Instead of introducing a second trust model, this makes linked worktrees
  use the root checkout as the single source of truth for project hook
  declarations. Worktree-local project config can still diverge for
  unrelated settings, but project hooks now keep one real source path and
  one trust state per repo.
  
  # What
  
  - Teach project config loading to remember the matching root-checkout
  `.codex/` folder for actual linked-worktree project layers.
  - Keep ordinary project config sourced from the worktree, but replace
  project hook declarations with the root checkout's matching layer before
  hook discovery runs, including linked-worktree layers with `.codex/` but
  no local `config.toml`.
  - Make hook discovery use that authoritative hook folder for both
  `hooks.json` and TOML hook source paths, so linked worktrees produce the
  same hook key and trust state as the root checkout.
  - Cover the linked-worktree path plus regressions for missing worktree
  `config.toml` and nested non-worktree project roots.

• Add allow_managed_hooks_only hook requirement (#20319)

  ## Why
  
  Enterprise-managed hook policy needs a narrow way to require Codex to
  ignore user-controlled lifecycle hooks without adopting the broader
  trust-precedence model from earlier hook work. This keeps the policy
  anchored in `requirements.toml`, so admins can opt into managed hooks
  only while normal `config.toml` files cannot enable the restriction
  themselves.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Added `allow_managed_hooks_only` to the requirements data flow and
  preserved explicit `false` values.
  - Also adds it to /debug-config
  - Marked MDM, system, and legacy managed config layers as managed for
  hook discovery.
  - Updated hook discovery so `allow_managed_hooks_only = true`:
    - keeps managed requirements hooks and managed config-layer hooks,
  - skips user/project/session `hooks.json` and `[hooks]` entries with
  concise startup warnings,
    - skips current unmanaged plugin hooks,
  - ignores any `allow_managed_hooks_only` key placed in ordinary
  `config.toml` layers.

• Support PreToolUse updatedInput rewrites (#20527)

  ## Why
  
  `PreToolUse` already exposes `updatedInput` in its hook output schema,
  but Codex currently rejects it instead of applying the rewrite. That
  leaves hook authors unable to make the documented pre-execution
  adjustment to a tool call before it runs.
  
  ## What
  
  - Accept `updatedInput` from `PreToolUse` hooks when paired with
  `permissionDecision: "allow"`.
  - Apply the rewritten input before dispatch so the tool executes the
  updated payload, not the original one.
  - Preserve the stable hook-facing compatibility shapes that
  participating tool handlers expose:
  - Bash-like tools (`shell`, `container.exec`, `local_shell`,
  `shell_command`, `exec_command`) use `{ "command": ... }`.
  - `apply_patch` exposes its patch body through the same command-shaped
  hook contract.
    - MCP tools expose their JSON argument object directly.
  - Keep each participating tool handler responsible for translating
  hook-facing `updatedInput` back into its concrete invocation shape.
  
  ## Verification
  
  Direct Bash-like rewrite coverage:
  
  - `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_before_execution`
  - `pre_tool_use_rewrites_container_exec_before_execution`
  - `pre_tool_use_rewrites_local_shell_before_execution`
  - `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_command_before_execution`
  - `pre_tool_use_rewrites_exec_command_before_execution`
  
  These cases assert that each supported Bash-like surface runs only the
  rewritten command while the hook still observes the original `{
  "command": ... }` input.
  
  `pre_tool_use_rewrites_apply_patch_before_execution`
  
  - Model emits one patch.
  - Hook swaps in a different patch.
  - Asserts only the rewritten file is created, and the hook saw the
  original patch.
  
  `pre_tool_use_rewrites_code_mode_nested_exec_command_before_execution`
  
  - Model runs one nested shell command from code mode.
  - Hook rewrites it.
  - Asserts only the rewritten command runs, and the hook saw the original
  nested input.
  
  `pre_tool_use_rewrites_mcp_tool_before_execution`
  
  - Model calls the RMCP echo tool.
  - Hook rewrites the MCP arguments.
  - Asserts the MCP server receives and returns the rewritten message, not
  the original one.

• Add Windows hook command overrides (#22159)

  # Why
  
  Managed hook configs need a shared cross-platform shape without making
  the existing `command` field polymorphic. The common case is still one
  command string, with Windows needing a different entrypoint only when
  the runtime is actually Windows.
  
  Keeping `command` as the portable/default path and adding an optional
  Windows override keeps the config easier to read, preserves the existing
  scalar shape for non-Windows users, and avoids forcing every caller into
  a `{ unix, windows }` object when only one platform needs special
  handling.
  
  # What
  
  - Add optional `command_windows` / `commandWindows` alongside the
  existing hook `command` field.
  - Resolve `command_windows` only on Windows during hook discovery; other
  platforms continue to use `command` unchanged.
  - Keep trust hashing aligned to the effective command selected for the
  current runtime.
  
  # Docs
  
  The Codex hooks/config reference should document `command_windows` as
  the Windows-only override for command hooks.

• Show plugin hooks in plugin details (#21447)

  Supersedes the abandoned #19859, rebuilt on latest `main`.
  
  # Why
  
  PR #19705 adds discovery for hooks bundled with plugins, but `/plugins`
  still only shows skills, apps, and MCP servers. This follow-up makes
  bundled hooks visible in the same plugin detail view so users can
  inspect the full plugin surface in one place.
  
  We also need `PluginHookSummary` to populate Plugin Hooks in the app;
  `hooks/list` is not enough there because plugin detail needs to show
  hooks for disabled plugins too.
  
  # What
  
  - extend `plugin/read` with `PluginHookSummary` entries for bundled
  hooks
  - summarize plugin hooks while loading plugin details
  - render a `Hooks` row in the `/plugins` detail popup

• Add compact lifecycle hooks (started by vincentkoc - external contrib) (#19905)

  Based on work from Vincent K -
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19060
  
  <img width="1836" height="642" alt="CleanShot 2026-04-29 at 20 47 40@2x"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b647bb89-65fe-40c8-80b0-7a6b7c984634"
  />
  
  ## Why
  
  Compaction rewrites the conversation context that future model turns
  receive, but hooks currently have no deterministic lifecycle point
  around that rewrite. This adds compact lifecycle hooks so users can
  audit manual and automatic compaction, surface hook messages in the UI,
  and run post-compaction follow-up without overloading tool or prompt
  hooks.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `PreCompact` and `PostCompact` hook events across hook config,
  discovery, dispatch, generated schemas, app-server notifications,
  analytics, and TUI hook rendering.
  - Added trigger matching for compact hooks with the documented `manual`
  and `auto` matcher values.
  - Wired `PreCompact` before both local and remote compaction, and
  `PostCompact` after successful local or remote compaction.
  - Kept compact hook command input to lifecycle metadata: session id,
  Codex turn id, transcript path, cwd, hook event name, model, and
  trigger.
  - Made compact stdout handling consistent with other hooks: plain stdout
  is ignored as debug output, while malformed JSON-looking stdout is
  reported as failed hook output.
  - Added integration coverage for compact hook dispatch, trigger
  matching, post-compact execution, and the audited behavior that
  `decision:"block"` does not block compaction.
  
  ## Out of Scope
  
  - Hook-specific compaction blocking is not implemented;
  `decision:"block"` and exit-code-2 blocking semantics are intentionally
  unsupported for `PreCompact`.
  - Custom compaction instructions are not exposed to compact hooks in
  this PR.
  - Compact summaries, summary character counts, and summary previews are
  not exposed to compact hooks in this PR.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core
  manual_pre_compact_block_decision_does_not_block_compaction`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server hooks_list`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui hooks_browser`
  
  ## Docs
  
  The developer documentation for Codex hooks should be updated alongside
  this feature to document `PreCompact` and `PostCompact`, the
  `manual`/`auto` matcher values, and the compact hook payload fields.

• hook trust metadata and enforcement (#20321)

  # Why
  
  We want shared hook trust that both the app and the TUI can build on,
  but the metadata is only useful if runtime behavior agrees with it. This
  PR adds a single backend trust model for hooks so unmanaged hooks cannot
  run until the current definition has been reviewed, while managed hooks
  remain runnable and non-configurable.
  
  # What
  
  - persist `trusted_hash` alongside hook state in `config.toml`
  - expose `currentHash` and derived `trustStatus` through `hooks/list`
  - derive trust from normalized hook definitions so equivalent hooks from
  `config.toml` and `hooks.json` share the same trust identity
  - gate unmanaged hooks on trust before they enter the runnable handler
  set
  
  # Reviewer Notes
  
  - key file to review is `codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
  - the only **core** change is schema related

• Support PreToolUse additionalContext (#20692)

  # Why
  
  `PreToolUse` already exposes `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` in
  the generated hook schema, but the runtime still rejected it as
  unsupported. That leaves `PreToolUse` out of step with the other
  context-injecting hooks and prevents hook authors from attaching
  model-visible guidance to a pending tool call before it runs.
  
  # What
  
  - Parse `PreToolUse.additionalContext` and carry it through the hook
  event pipeline.
  - Record `PreToolUse` context at the hook boundary so successful context
  is preserved for both allowed and blocked calls without widening the
  tool registry surface.
  - Preserve existing deny behavior when context is combined with either
  `permissionDecision: "deny"` or the legacy `decision: "block"` shape.

• Spill large hook outputs from context (#21069)

  ## Why
  
  Large hook outputs can enter model-visible context through hook-specific
  paths such as `additionalContext` and `Stop` continuation prompts.
  Without a dedicated cap, one hook can inject a large blob directly into
  conversation history instead of leaving a bounded preview for the model
  and preserving the full text elsewhere.
  
  ## What
  
  - spill hook text once it exceeds a fixed `2_500`-token budget,
  preserving the full output on disk and leaving a head/tail preview plus
  saved path in context
  - add shared hook-output spilling under
  `CODEX_HOME/hook_outputs/<thread_id>/<uuid>.txt`
  - apply the cap to both `additionalContext`, `feedback_message`, and
  `Stop` continuation fragments

• Add /hooks browser for lifecycle hooks (#19882)

  ## Why
  
  `hooks/list` and `hooks/config/write` give us read/write access to hooks
  and their state. This hooks up the TUI as a client so users can inspect
  and manage that state directly.
  
  ## What
  
  - add a two-page `/hooks` browser in the TUI: an event overview with
  installed/active counts, followed by a per-event handler page with
  toggle controls and detail rendering
  - thread managed-state metadata through hook discovery and `hooks/list`
  so the UI can label admin-managed hooks and suppress toggles for them
  - persist hook toggles through the existing config-write path and add
  snapshot coverage for the event list, handler list, managed-hook, and
  empty states

  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  - Main UI logic is in
  `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/hooks_browser_view.rs`; most of the diff
  is the new view plus its snapshot coverage
  - Request / write plumbing for opening the browser and persisting
  toggles is in `codex-rs/tui/src/app/background_requests.rs` and
  `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/hooks.rs`
  - Outside the TUI, the only behavioral change in this PR is threading
  `is_managed` through hook discovery and `hooks/list` so managed hooks
  render as non-toggleable
  - The `codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/` churn is unrelated merge
  fallout from the stacked base branch's newer permission-label rendering

• Add persisted hook enablement state (#19840)

  ## Why
  
  After `hooks/list` exposes the hook inventory, clients need a way to
  persist user hook preferences, make those changes effective in
  already-open sessions, and distinguish user-controllable hooks from
  managed requirements without adding another bespoke app-server write
  API.
  
  ## What
  
  - Extends `hooks/list` entries with effective `enabled` state.
  - Persists user-level hook state under `hooks.state.<hook-id>` so the
  model can grow beyond a single boolean over time.
  - Uses the existing `config/batchWrite` path for hook state updates
  instead of introducing a dedicated hook write RPC.
  - Refreshes live session hook engines after config writes so
  already-open threads observe updated enablement without a restart.

  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  The generated schema files account for much of the raw diff. The core
  behavior is in:
  
  - `hooks/src/config_rules.rs`, which resolves per-hook user state from
  the config layer stack.
  - `hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`, which projects effective enablement
  into `hooks/list` from source-derived managedness.
  - `config/src/hook_config.rs`, which defines the new `hooks.state`
  representation.
  - `core/src/session/mod.rs`, which rebuilds live hook state after user
  config reloads.

• Add hooks/list app-server RPC (#19778)

  ## Why
  
  We need a way to list the available hooks to expose via the TUI and App
  so users can view and manage their hooks
  
  ## What
  
  - Adds `hooks/list` for one or more `cwd` values that returns discovered
  hook metadata

  4. openai/codex#19882
  
  ## Review Notes
  
  The generated schema files account for most of the raw diff, these files
  have the core change:
  
  - `hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs` builds the inventory entries during
  hook discovery while leaving runtime handlers focused on execution.
  - `app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs` wires `hooks/list` into
  the app-server flow for each requested `cwd`.
  - `app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs` defines the new v2
  request/response payloads exposed on the wire.
  
  ### Core Changes
  
  `core/src/plugins/manager.rs` adds `plugins_for_layer_stack(...)` so
  `skills/list` and `hooks/list`can resolve plugin state for each
  requested `cwd`

• Increase plugin hook env test timeout (#20100)

  # Why
  
  `plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source` can still
  fail on Windows after the earlier file-based assertion cleanup because
  the hook process itself occasionally exceeds the old 5s timeout under CI
  load. When that happens, the hook run ends as `Failed` before the test
  can inspect its structured output.
  
  The Windows Bazel failure showed the hook run itself failing after
  nearly 8 seconds:
  
  ```text
  ---- engine::tests::plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source stdout ----
  thread 'engine::tests::plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source' panicked at hooks/src\engine\mod_tests.rs:428:5:

  ...
  test result: FAILED. 78 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 7.96s
  ```
  
  # What
  
  - raise the flaky plugin hook env test timeout from 5s to 10s so it
  matches the other executed hook tests in this module

• Fix flaky plugin hook env test (#20088)

  The test was flaky because it was checking the right thing in a
  roundabout way.
  
  What it wanted to prove:
  - plugin hooks receive the right environment variables.
  
  What it actually did:
  1. Run a plugin hook.
  2. Have that hook write those env vars into a temporary `env.json` file.
  3. After the hook finished, read `env.json` back from disk.
  
  On Windows, that last file was sometimes not there when the test tried
  to read it, so the test failed with `read env log: file not found`. The
  hook system itself was not what the test failure was directly proving;
  the test was failing on the extra filesystem side effect it introduced.
  
  The fix is to stop using a temp file as the proof mechanism. The hook
  now prints the env values in its normal structured output, and the test
  asserts on the output that the hook engine already captures. So we still
  verify the same behavior, but without depending on a separate file being
  created and read back correctly on Windows.

• Discover hooks bundled with plugins (#19705)

  ## Why
  
  Plugins can bundle lifecycle hooks, but Codex previously only discovered
  hooks from user, project, and managed config layers. This adds the
  plugin discovery and runtime plumbing needed for plugin-bundled hooks
  while keeping execution behind the `plugin_hooks` feature flag.
  
  ## What
  
  - Discovers plugin hook sources from each plugin's default
  `hooks/hooks.json`.
  - Supports `plugin.json` manifest `hooks` entries as either relative
  paths or inline hook objects.
  - Plumbs discovered plugin hook sources through plugin loading into the
  hook runtime when `plugin_hooks` is enabled.
  - Marks plugin-originated hook runs as `HookSource::Plugin`.
  - Injects `PLUGIN_ROOT` and `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` into plugin hook
  command environments.
  - Updates generated schemas and hook source metadata for the plugin hook
  source.
  
  ## Stack
  
  1. This PR - openai/codex#19705
  2. openai/codex#19778
  3. openai/codex#19840
  4. openai/codex#19882
  
  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  - Core logic is in `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader.rs` and
  `codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
  - Moved existing / adding new tests to
  `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader_tests.rs` hence the large diff there
  - Otherwise mostly plumbing and minor schema updates
  
  ### Core Changes
  
  The `codex-rs/core` changes are limited to wiring plugin hook support
  into existing core flows:
  
  - `core/src/session/session.rs` conditionally pulls effective plugin
  hook sources and plugin hook load warnings from `PluginsManager` when
  `plugin_hooks` is enabled, then passes them into `HooksConfig`.
  - `core/src/hook_runtime.rs` adds the `plugin` metric tag for
  `HookSource::Plugin`.
  - `core/config.schema.json` picks up the new `plugin_hooks` feature
  flag, and `core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs` updates fixtures for the
  added plugin hook fields.

• Support MCP tools in hooks (#18385)

  ## Summary
  
  Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
  `PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
  - hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
  - hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
  - core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
  
  That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
  model-visible and stable
  
  This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
  payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
  
  ## Reviewer Notes
  
  I think these are the key files
  - `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
  - `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
  
  Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
  mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
  `command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
  
  ## Changes
  
  - Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
  to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
  hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
  - Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
  model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
  as `tool_input`.
  - Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
  `McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
  - Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
  remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
  elicitation.
  - Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
  `mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
  patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

• codex: support hooks in config.toml and requirements.toml (#18893)

  ## Summary
  
  Support the existing hooks schema in inline TOML so hooks can be
  configured from both `config.toml` and enterprise-managed
  `requirements.toml` without requiring a separate `hooks.json` payload.
  
  This gives enterprise admins a way to ship managed hook policy through
  the existing requirements channel while still leaving script delivery to
  MDM or other device-management tooling, and it keeps `hooks.json`
  working unchanged for existing users.
  
  This also lays the groundwork for follow-on managed filtering work such
  as #15937, while continuing to respect project trust gating from #14718.
  It does **not** implement `allow_managed_hooks_only` itself.
  
  NOTE: yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the toml isn't formatted as
  closely as normal to our default styling. This is because we're trying
  to stay compatible with the spec for plugins/hooks that we'll need to
  support & the main usecase here is embedding into requirements.toml
  
  ## What changed
  
  - moved the shared hook serde model out of `codex-rs/hooks` into
  `codex-rs/config` so the same schema can power `hooks.json`, inline
  `config.toml` hooks, and managed `requirements.toml` hooks
  - added `hooks` support to both `ConfigToml` and
  `ConfigRequirementsToml`, including requirements-side `managed_dir` /
  `windows_managed_dir`
  - treated requirements-managed hooks as one constrained value via
  `Constrained`, so managed hook policy is merged atomically and cannot
  drift across requirement sources
  - updated hook discovery to load requirements-managed hooks first, then
  per-layer `hooks.json`, then per-layer inline TOML hooks, with a warning
  when a single layer defines both representations
  - threaded managed hook metadata through discovered handlers and exposed
  requirements hooks in app-server responses, generated schemas, and
  `/debug-config`
  - added hook/config coverage in `codex-rs/config`, `codex-rs/hooks`,
  `codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/tests.rs`, and
  `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/hooks.rs`
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `cargo test -p codex-config`
  - `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server config_api`
  
  ## Documentation
  
  Companion updates are needed in the developers website repo for:
  
  - the hooks guide
  - the config reference, sample, basic, and advanced pages
  - the enterprise managed configuration guide

• fix(core): emit hooks for apply_patch edits (#18391)

  Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16732.
  
  ## Why
  
  `apply_patch` is Codex's primary file edit path, but it was not emitting
  `PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` hook events. That meant hook-based policy,
  auditing, and write coordination could observe shell commands while
  missing the actual file mutation performed by `apply_patch`.
  
  The issue also exposed that the hook runtime serialized command hook
  payloads with `tool_name: "Bash"` unconditionally. Even if `apply_patch`
  supplied hook payloads, hooks would either fail to match it directly or
  receive misleading stdin that identified the edit as a Bash tool call.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Added `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` payload support to
  `ApplyPatchHandler`.
  - Exposed the raw patch body as `tool_input.command` for both
  JSON/function and freeform `apply_patch` calls.
  - Taught tool hook payloads to carry a handler-supplied hook-facing
  `tool_name`.
  - Preserved existing shell compatibility by continuing to emit `Bash`
  for shell-like tools.
  - Serialized the selected hook `tool_name` into hook stdin instead of
  hardcoding `Bash`.
  - Relaxed the generated hook command input schema so `tool_name` can
  represent tools other than `Bash`.
  
  ## Verification
  
  Added focused handler coverage for:
  
  - JSON/function `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
  - Freeform `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
  - Successful `apply_patch` output producing a `PostToolUse` payload.
  - Shell and `exec_command` handlers continuing to expose `Bash`.
  
  Added end-to-end hook coverage for:
  
  - A `PreToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` blocking the patch before
  the target file is created.
  - A `PostToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` receiving the patch
  input and tool response, then adding context to the follow-up model
  request.
  - Non-participating tools such as the plan tool continuing not to emit
  `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` hook events.
  
  Also validated manually with a live `codex exec` smoke test using an
  isolated temp workspace and temp `CODEX_HOME`. The smoke test confirmed
  that a real `apply_patch` edit emits `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` with
  `tool_name: "apply_patch"`, a shell command still emits `tool_name:
  "Bash"`, and a denying `PreToolUse` hook prevents the blocked patch file
  from being created.

• Add PermissionRequest hooks support (#17563)

  ## Why
  
  We need `PermissionRequest` hook support!
  
  Also addresses:
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301
  - run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention
  but actually no-op so user can still approve
  - can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script
  exit 0 and print nothing
  - https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311
    - let the script approve/deny on its own
    - external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex
  
  
  ## Reviewer Note
  
  There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are:
  - New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs`
  - Wiring for network approvals
  `codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs`
  - Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs`
  - Wiring for execve
  `codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`
  
  ## What
  
  - Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the
  `PermissionRequest` hook flow.
  - Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall
  back to the normal approval path.
  - Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps:
    - shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present
    - network approvals: `network-access <domain>`
  - Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval
  permission-request hooks.
  - For network approvals, passes the originating command in
  `tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls
  back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command.

• chore: clean up argument-comment lint and roll out all-target CI on macOS (#16054)

  ## 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.

  › for the blocked messages (correctly blocked in this test) did the tool output land back into

  • Yeah, from this run:
  
    - PreToolUse block: the command itself did not execute, so no command output landed in context. Only
      the block message did.
    - PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context.
      Only the post-tool block message did.
  
    So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not.
    Nice clean guardrail, aloha.

• Apply argument comment lint across codex-rs (#14652)

  ## 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

• [hooks] stop continuation & stop_hook_active mechanics (#14532)

  Stop hooks now receive `stop_hook_active` and enable stop hooks to loop
  forever if they'd like to. In the initial hooks PR, we implemented a
  simpler mechanic that the stop-blocking could only happen once in a row
  
  - support stop hook adding a continuation prompt to add a further task
  - if multiple stop-blocks happen that have continuation prompts, they
  are concatenated
  
  example run:
  ```
  › hey :)
  
  
  • Running SessionStart hook: lighting the observatory
  
  SessionStart hook (completed)
    warning: Hi, I'm a session start hook for wizard-tower (startup).
    hook context: Startup context: A wimboltine stonpet is an exotic cuisine from hyperspace
  
  • Aloha :) Happy to jam with you. What are we building today?
  
  • Running Stop hook: updating the guards
  
  Stop hook (blocked)
    warning: Wizard Tower Stop hook continuing conversation
    feedback: cook the stonpet
  
  • Aloha, here’s the hyperspace move for cooking a wimboltine stonpet:
  
    1. Sear the stonpet in a hot pan with moon-oil until the edges shimmer.
    2. Add star-lime, black salt, and a little fermented nebula paste.
    3. Lower the heat and let it braise for 8 cosmic minutes with a splash of comet broth.
    4. Finish with sky herbs and serve over warm asteroid rice.
  
    The vibe: crispy outside, tender center, deep interdimensional savor.
  
  • Running Stop hook: updating the guards
  
  Stop hook (completed)
    warning: Wizard Tower Stop hook saw a second pass and stayed calm to avoid a loop.

• start of hooks engine (#13276)

  (Experimental)
  
  This PR adds a first MVP for hooks, with SessionStart and Stop
  
  The core design is:
  
  - hooks live in a dedicated engine under codex-rs/hooks
  - each hook type has its own event-specific file
  - hook execution is synchronous and blocks normal turn progression while
  running
  - matching hooks run in parallel, then their results are aggregated into
  a normalized HookRunSummary
  
  On the AppServer side, hooks are exposed as operational metadata rather
  than transcript-native items:
  
  - new live notifications: hook/started, hook/completed
  - persisted/replayed hook results live on Turn.hookRuns
  - we intentionally did not add hook-specific ThreadItem variants
  
  Hooks messages are not persisted, they remain ephemeral. The context
  changes they add are (they get appended to the user's prompt)
