## Problem
The TUI diff renderer uses hardcoded background palettes for
insert/delete lines that don't respect the user's chosen syntax theme.
When a theme defines `markup.inserted` / `markup.deleted` scope
backgrounds (the convention used by GitHub, Solarized, Monokai, and most
VS Code themes), those colors are ignored — the diff always renders with
the same green/red tints regardless of theme selection.
Separately, ANSI-16 terminals (and Windows Terminal sessions misreported
as ANSI-16) rendered diff backgrounds as full-saturation blocks that
obliterated syntax token colors, making highlighted diffs unreadable.
## Mental model
Diff backgrounds are resolved in three layers:
1. **Color level detection** — `diff_color_level_for_terminal()` maps
the raw `supports-color` probe + Windows Terminal heuristics to a
`DiffColorLevel` (TrueColor / Ansi256 / Ansi16). Windows Terminal gets
promoted from Ansi16 to TrueColor when `WT_SESSION` is present.
2. **Background resolution** — `resolve_diff_backgrounds()` queries the
active syntax theme for `markup.inserted`/`markup.deleted` (falling back
to `diff.inserted`/`diff.deleted`), then overlays those on top of the
hardcoded palette. For ANSI-256, theme RGB values are quantized to the
nearest xterm-256 index. For ANSI-16, backgrounds are `None`
(foreground-only).
3. **Style composition** — The resolved `ResolvedDiffBackgrounds` is
threaded through every call to `style_add`, `style_del`, `style_sign_*`,
and `style_line_bg_for`, which decide how to compose
foreground+background for each line kind and theme variant.
A new `RichDiffColorLevel` type (a subset of `DiffColorLevel` without
Ansi16) encodes the invariant "we have enough depth for tinted
backgrounds" at the type level, so background-producing functions have
exhaustive matches without unreachable arms.
## Non-goals
- No change to gutter (line number column) styling — gutter backgrounds
still use the hardcoded palette.
- No per-token scope background resolution — this is line-level
background only; syntax token colors come from the existing
`highlight_code_to_styled_spans` path.
- No dark/light theme auto-switching from scope backgrounds —
`DiffTheme` is still determined by querying the terminal's background
color.
## Tradeoffs
- **Theme trust vs. visual safety:** When a theme defines scope
backgrounds, we trust them unconditionally for rich color levels. A
badly authored theme could produce illegible combinations. The fallback
for `None` backgrounds (foreground-only) is intentionally conservative.
- **Quantization quality:** ANSI-256 quantization uses perceptual
distance across indices 16–255, skipping system colors. The result is
approximate — a subtle theme tint may land on a noticeably different
xterm index.
- **Single-query caching:** `resolve_diff_backgrounds` is called once
per `render_change` invocation (i.e., once per file in a diff). If the
theme changes mid-render (live preview), the next file picks up the new
backgrounds.
## Architecture
Files changed:
| File | Role |
|---|---|
| `tui/src/render/highlight.rs` | New: `DiffScopeBackgroundRgbs`,
`diff_scope_background_rgbs()`, scope extraction helpers |
| `tui/src/diff_render.rs` | New: `RichDiffColorLevel`,
`ResolvedDiffBackgrounds`, `resolve_diff_backgrounds*`,
`quantize_rgb_to_ansi256`, Windows Terminal promotion; modified: all
style helpers to accept/thread `ResolvedDiffBackgrounds` |
The scope-extraction code lives in `highlight.rs` because it uses
`syntect::highlighting::Highlighter` and the theme singleton. The
resolution and quantization logic lives in `diff_render.rs` because it
depends on diff-specific types (`DiffTheme`, `DiffColorLevel`, ratatui
`Color`).
## Observability
No runtime logging was added. The most useful debugging aid is the
`diff_color_level_for_terminal` function, which is pure and fully
unit-tested — to diagnose a color-depth mismatch, log its four inputs
(`StdoutColorLevel`, `TerminalName`, `WT_SESSION` presence,
`FORCE_COLOR` presence).
Scope resolution can be tested by loading a custom `.tmTheme` with known
`markup.inserted` / `markup.deleted` backgrounds and checking the diff
output in a truecolor terminal.
## Tests
- **Windows Terminal promotion:** 7 unit tests cover every branch of
`diff_color_level_for_terminal` (ANSI-16 promotion, `WT_SESSION`
unconditional promotion, `FORCE_COLOR` suppression, conservative
`Unknown` level).
- **ANSI-16 foreground-only:** Tests verify that `style_add`,
`style_del`, `style_sign_*`, `style_line_bg_for`, and `style_gutter_for`
all return `None` backgrounds on ANSI-16.
- **Scope resolution:** Tests verify `markup.*` preference over
`diff.*`, `None` when no scope matches, bundled theme resolution, and
custom `.tmTheme` round-trip.
- **Quantization:** Test verifies ANSI-256 quantization of a known RGB
triple.
- **Insta snapshots:** 2 new snapshot tests
(`ansi16_insert_delete_no_background`,
`theme_scope_background_resolution`) lock visual output.
## Summary
- Promote ANSI-16 to truecolor for diff rendering when running inside
Windows Terminal
- Respect explicit `FORCE_COLOR` override, skipping promotion when set
- Extract a pure `diff_color_level_for_terminal` function for
testability
- Strip background tints from ANSI-16 diff output, rendering add/delete
lines with foreground color only
- Introduce `RichDiffColorLevel` to type-safely restrict background
fills to truecolor and ansi256
## Problem
Windows Terminal fully supports 24-bit (truecolor) rendering but often
does not provide the usual TERM metadata (`TERM`, `TERM_PROGRAM`,
`COLORTERM`) in `cmd.exe`/PowerShell sessions. In those environments,
`supports-color` can report only ANSI-16 support. The diff renderer
therefore falls back to a 16-color palette, producing washed-out,
hard-to-read diffs.
The screenshots below demonstrate that both PowerShell and cmd.exe don't
set any `*TERM*` environment variables.

## Mental model
`StdoutColorLevel` (from `supports-color`) is the _detected_ capability.
`DiffColorLevel` is the _intended_ capability for diff rendering. A new
intermediary — `diff_color_level_for_terminal` — maps one to the other
and is the single place where terminal-specific overrides live.
Windows Terminal is detected two independent ways: the `TerminalName`
parsed by `terminal_info()` and the raw presence of `WT_SESSION`. When
`WT_SESSION` is present and `FORCE_COLOR` is not set, we promote
unconditionally to truecolor. When `WT_SESSION` is absent but
`TerminalName::WindowsTerminal` is detected, we promote only the ANSI-16
level (not `Unknown`).
A single override helper — `has_force_color_override()` — checks whether
`FORCE_COLOR` is set. When it is, both the `WT_SESSION` fast-path and
the `TerminalName`-based promotion are suppressed, preserving explicit
user intent.
| PowerShell | cmd.exe | WSL | Bash for Windows |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
## Non-goals
- This does not change color detection for anything outside the diff
renderer (e.g. the chat widget, markdown rendering).
- This does not add a user-facing config knob; `FORCE_COLOR` already
serves that role.
## Tradeoffs
- The `has_wt_session` signal is intentionally kept separate from
`TerminalName::WindowsTerminal`. `terminal_info()` is derived with
`TERM_PROGRAM` precedence, so it can differ from raw `WT_SESSION`.
- Real-world validation in this issue: in both `cmd.exe` and PowerShell,
`TERM`/`TERM_PROGRAM`/`COLORTERM` were absent, so TERM-based capability
hints were unavailable in those sessions.
- Checking `FORCE_COLOR` for presence rather than parsing its value is a
simplification. In practice `supports-color` has already parsed it, so
our check is a coarse "did the user set _anything_?" gate. The effective
color level still comes from `supports-color`.
- When `WT_SESSION` is present without `FORCE_COLOR`, we promote to
truecolor regardless of `stdout_level` (including `Unknown`). This is
aggressive but correct: `WT_SESSION` is a strong signal that we're in
Windows Terminal.
- ANSI-16 add/delete backgrounds (bright green/red) overpower
syntax-highlighted token colors, making diffs harder to read.
Foreground-only cues (colored text, gutter signs) preserve readability
on low-color terminals.
## Architecture
```
stdout_color_level() ──┐
terminal_info().name ──┤
WT_SESSION presence ──┼──▶ diff_color_level_for_terminal() ──▶ DiffColorLevel
FORCE_COLOR presence ──┘ │
▼
RichDiffColorLevel::from_diff_color_level()
│
┌──────────┴──────────┐
│ Some(TrueColor|256) │ → bg tints
│ None (Ansi16) │ → fg only
└─────────────────────┘
```
`diff_color_level()` is the environment-reading entry point; it gathers
the four runtime signals and delegates to the pure, testable
`diff_color_level_for_terminal()`.
## Observability
No new logs or metrics. Incorrect color selection is immediately visible
as broken diff rendering; the test suite covers the decision matrix
exhaustively.
## Tests
Six new unit tests exercise every branch of
`diff_color_level_for_terminal`:
| Test | Inputs | Expected |

bg=None |
| (and any other new snapshot/assertion tests from commits d757fee and
d7c78b3) | | |
## Test plan
- [x] Verify all new unit tests pass (`cargo test -p codex-tui --lib`)
- [x] On Windows Terminal: confirm diffs render with truecolor
backgrounds
- [x] On Windows Terminal with `FORCE_COLOR` set: confirm promotion is
disabled and output follows the forced `supports-color` level
- [x] On macOS/Linux terminals: confirm no behavior change

## Problem
Diff lines used only foreground colors (green/red) with no background
tinting, making them hard to scan. The gutter (line numbers) also had no
theme awareness — dimmed text was fine on dark terminals but unreadable
on light ones.
## Mental model
Each diff line now has four styled layers: **gutter** (line number),
**sign** (`+`/`-`), **content** (text), and **line background** (full
terminal width). A `DiffTheme` enum (`Dark` / `Light`) is selected once
per render by probing the terminal's queried background via
`default_bg()`. A companion `DiffColorLevel` enum (`TrueColor` /
`Ansi256` / `Ansi16`) is derived from `stdout_color_level()` and gates
which palette is used. All style helpers dispatch on `(theme,
DiffLineType, color_level)` to pick the right colors.

## Non-goals
- No runtime theme switching beyond what `default_bg()` already
provides.
- No change to syntax highlighting theme selection or the highlight
module.
## Tradeoffs
- Three fixed palettes (truecolor RGB, 256-color indexed, 16-color
named) are maintained rather than using `best_color` nearest-match. This
is deliberate: `supports_color::on_cached(Stream::Stdout)` can misreport
capabilities once crossterm enters the alternate screen, so hand-picked
palette entries give better visual results than automatic quantization.
- Delete lines in the syntax-highlighted path get `Modifier::DIM` to
visually recede compared to insert lines. This trades some readability
of deleted code for scan-ability of additions.
- The theme picker's diff preview sets `preserve_side_content_bg: true`
on `ListSelectionView` so diff background tints survive into the side
panel. Other popups keep the default (`false`) to preserve their
reset-background look.
## Architecture
- **Color constants** are module-level `const` items grouped by palette
tier: `DARK_TC_*` / `LIGHT_TC_*` (truecolor RGB tuples), `DARK_256_*` /
`LIGHT_256_*` (xterm indexed), with named `Color` variants used for the
16-color tier.
- **`DiffTheme`** is a private enum; `diff_theme()` probes the terminal
and `diff_theme_for_bg()` is the testable pure-function version.
- **`DiffColorLevel`** is a private enum derived from `StdoutColorLevel`
via `diff_color_level()`.
- **Palette helpers** (`add_line_bg`, `del_line_bg`, `light_gutter_fg`,
`light_add_num_bg`, `light_del_num_bg`) each take `(DiffTheme,
DiffColorLevel)` or just `DiffColorLevel` and return a `Color`.
- **Style helpers** (`style_line_bg_for`, `style_gutter_for`,
`style_sign_add`, `style_sign_del`, `style_add`, `style_del`) each take
`(DiffLineType, DiffTheme, DiffColorLevel)` or `(DiffTheme,
DiffColorLevel)` and return a `Style`.
- **`push_wrapped_diff_line_inner_with_theme_and_color_level`** is the
innermost renderer, accepting both theme and color level so tests can
exercise any combination without depending on the terminal.
- **Line-level background** is applied via
`RtLine::from(...).style(line_bg)` so the tint extends across the full
terminal width, not just the text content.
- **Theme picker integration**: `ListSelectionView` gained a
`preserve_side_content_bg` flag. When `true`, the side panel skips
`force_bg_to_terminal_bg`, letting diff preview backgrounds render
faithfully.
## Observability
No new logging. Theme selection is deterministic from `default_bg()`,
which is already queried and cached at TUI startup.
## Tests
1. **`DiffTheme` is determined per `render_change` call** — if
`default_bg()` changes mid-render (e.g. `requery_default_colors()`
fires), different file chunks could render with different themes. Low
risk in practice since re-query only happens on explicit user action.
2. **16-color tier uses named `Color` variants** (`Color::Green`,
`Color::Red`, etc.) which the terminal maps to its own palette. On
unusual terminal themes these could clash with the background.
Acceptable since 16-color terminals already have unpredictable color
rendering.
3. **Light-theme `style_add` / `style_del` set bg but no fg** — on light
terminals, non-syntax-highlighted content uses the terminal's default
foreground against a pastel background. If the terminal's default fg
happens to be very light, contrast could suffer. This is an edge case
since light-terminal users typically have dark default fg.
4. **`preserve_side_content_bg` is a general-purpose flag but only used
by the theme picker** — if other popups start using side content with
intentional backgrounds they'll need to opt in explicitly. Not a real
risk today, just a note for future callers.
## Summary
Adds syntax highlighting to the TUI for fenced code blocks in markdown
responses and file diffs, plus a `/theme` command with live preview and
persistent theme selection. Uses syntect (~250 grammars, 32 bundled
themes, ~1 MB binary cost) — the same engine behind `bat`, `delta`, and
`xi-editor`. Includes guardrails for large inputs, graceful fallback to
plain text, and SSH-aware clipboard integration for the `/copy` command.

## Problem
Code blocks in the TUI (markdown responses and file diffs) render
without syntax highlighting, making it hard to scan code at a glance.
Users also have no way to pick a color theme that matches their terminal
aesthetic.
## Mental model
The highlighting system has three layers:
1. **Syntax engine** (`render::highlight`) -- a thin wrapper around
syntect + two-face. It owns a process-global `SyntaxSet` (~250 grammars)
and a `RwLock<Theme>` that can be swapped at runtime. All public entry
points accept `(code, lang)` and return ratatui `Span`/`Line` vectors or
`None` when the language is unrecognized or the input exceeds safety
guardrails.
2. **Rendering consumers** -- `markdown_render` feeds fenced code blocks
through the engine; `diff_render` highlights Add/Delete content as a
whole file and Update hunks per-hunk (preserving parser state across
hunk lines). Both callers fall back to plain unstyled text when the
engine returns `None`.
3. **Theme lifecycle** -- at startup the config's `tui.theme` is
resolved to a syntect `Theme` via `set_theme_override`. At runtime the
`/theme` picker calls `set_syntax_theme` to swap themes live; on cancel
it restores the snapshot taken at open. On confirm it persists `[tui]
theme = "..."` to config.toml.
## Non-goals
- Inline diff highlighting (word-level change detection within a line).
- Semantic / LSP-backed highlighting.
- Theme authoring tooling; users supply standard `.tmTheme` files.
## Tradeoffs

|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| syntect over tree-sitter / arborium | ~1 MB binary increase for ~250
grammars + 32 themes; battle-tested crate powering widely-used tools

languages or ~35 MB for full coverage. | Regex-based; less structurally
accurate than tree-sitter for some languages (e.g. language injections
like JS-in-HTML). |
| Global `RwLock<Theme>` | Enables live `/theme` preview without
threading Theme through every call site | Lock contention risk
(mitigated: reads vastly outnumber writes, single UI thread) |
| Skip background / italic / underline from themes | Terminal BG
preserved, avoids ugly rendering on some themes | Themes that rely on
these properties lose fidelity |
| Guardrails: 512 KB / 10k lines | Prevents pathological stalls on huge
diffs or pastes | Very large files render without color |

## Cargo Deny: Unmaintained Dependency Exceptions
This PR adds two `cargo deny` advisory exceptions for transitive
dependencies pulled in by `syntect v5.3.0`:
| Advisory | Crate | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| RUSTSEC-2024-0320 | `yaml-rust` | Unmaintained (maintainer
unreachable) |
| RUSTSEC-2025-0141 | `bincode` | Unmaintained (development ceased;
v1.3.3 considered complete) |
**Why this is safe in our usage:**
- Neither advisory describes a known security vulnerability. Both are
"unmaintained" notices only.
- `bincode` is used by syntect to deserialize pre-compiled syntax sets.
Again, these are **static vendored artifacts** baked into the binary at
build time. No user-supplied bincode data is ever deserialized. - Attack
surface is zero for both crates; exploitation would require a
supply-chain compromise of our own build artifacts.
- These exceptions can be removed when syntect migrates to `yaml-rust2`
and drops `bincode`, or when alternative crates are available upstream.
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`
## Summary
- Adds a new `/statusline` command to configure TUI footer status line
- Introduces reusable `MultiSelectPicker` component with keyboard
navigation, optional ordering and toggle support
- Implement status line setup modal that persist configuration to
config.toml
## Status Line Items
The following items can be displayed in the status line:
- **Model**: Current model name (with optional reasoning level)
- **Context**: Remaining/used context window percentage
- **Rate Limits**: 5-day and weekly usage limits
- **Git**: Current branch (with optimized lookups)
- **Tokens**: Used tokens, input/output token counts
- **Session**: Session ID (full or shortened prefix)
- **Paths**: Current directory, project root
- **Version**: Codex version
## Features
- Live preview while configuring status line items
- Fuzzy search filtering in the picker
- Intelligent truncation when items don't fit
- Items gracefully omit when data is unavailable
- Configuration persists to `config.toml`
- Validates and warns about invalid status line items
## Test plan
- [x] Run `/statusline` and verify picker UI appears
- [x] Toggle items on/off and verify live preview updates
- [x] Confirm selection persists after restart
- [x] Verify truncation behavior with many items selected
- [x] Test git branch detection in and out of git repos

I am trying to support building with [Buck2](https://buck2.build), which
reports which files have changed between invocations of `buck2 test` and
`tmp_delete_example.txt` came up. This turned out to be the reason.
- introduce RenderableItem to support both owned and borrowed children
in composite Renderables
- refactor some of our gnarlier manual layouts, BottomPane and
ChatWidget, to use ColumnRenderable
- Renderable and friends now handle cursor_pos()
Refactor trust_directory to use ColumnRenderable & friends, thus
correcting wrapping behavior at small widths. Also introduce
RowRenderable with fixed-width rows.
- fixed wrapping in trust_directory
- changed selector cursor to match other list item selections
- allow y/n to work as well as 1/2
- fixed key_hint to be standard

- prefix command approval reasons with "Reason:"
- show keyboard shortcuts for some ListSelectionItems
- remove "description" lines for approval options, and make the labels
more verbose
- add a spacer line in diff display after the path
and some other minor refactors that go along with the above.

Created this PR by:
- adding `redundant_clone` to `[workspace.lints.clippy]` in
`cargo-rs/Cargol.toml`
- running `cargo clippy --tests --fix`
- running `just fmt`
Though I had to clean up one instance of the following that resulted:
```rust
let codex = codex;
```
This PR:
* Added the clippy.toml to configure allowable expect / unwrap usage in
tests
* Removed as many expect/allow lines as possible from tests
* moved a bunch of allows to expects where possible
Note: in integration tests, non `#[test]` helper functions are not
covered by this so we had to leave a few lingering `expect(expect_used`
checks around
refactors HistoryCell to be a trait instead of an enum. Also collapse
the many "degenerate" HistoryCell enums which were just a store of lines
into a single PlainHistoryCell type.
The goal here is to allow more ways of rendering history cells (e.g.
expanded/collapsed/"live"), and I expect we will return to more varied
types of HistoryCell as we develop this area.
