## Why
With the local model layer and app-server routing in place from PR1,
this PR moves the active TUI runtime onto app-server notifications. The
affected pieces share the same event flow, so the command surface,
session state, bottom-pane prompts, chat rendering, history/status
views, and tests move together to keep the stacked branch buildable.
This PR also removes the obsolete compatibility surface that is no
longer used after the migration. The proposed protocol-boundary verifier
layer was dropped from the stack; enforcing that final boundary will be
simpler once `codex-tui` no longer needs any `codex_protocol`
references.
This PR is part 2 of a 2-PR stack:
1. Add TUI-owned replacement models and extract app-server event
routing.
2. Move the active TUI flow to app-server notifications and delete
obsolete adapter code.
## What changed
- Rewired app command and session handling to use app-server request and
notification shapes.
- Moved approval overlays, request-user-input flows, MCP elicitation,
realtime events, and review commands onto the app-server-facing model
surface.
- Updated chat rendering, history cells, status views, multi-agent UI,
replay state, and TUI tests to use app-server notifications plus the
local models introduced in PR1.
- Deleted `codex-rs/tui/src/app/app_server_adapter.rs` and the
superseded `chatwidget/tests/background_events.rs` fixture path.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-tui --tests`
- Top of stack: `cargo test -p codex-tui`
## Why
This stack moves `codex-tui` away from the core protocol event surface
and toward app-server API shapes plus TUI-owned local models. This first
PR sets up the lower-risk foundation: it introduces the local model
surface and extracts app-server event routing into focused TUI modules
while preserving the existing behavior for the larger migration in PR2.
This PR is part 1 of a 2-PR stack:
1. Add TUI-owned replacement models and extract app-server event
routing.
2. Move the active TUI flow to app-server notifications and delete
obsolete adapter code.
## What changed
- Added TUI-owned approval, diff, session state, session resume, token
usage, and user-message models.
- Added `app/app_server_event_targets.rs` and `app/app_server_events.rs`
to hold app-server event targeting and dispatch logic outside `app.rs`.
- Updated app/status tests to use the local model layer and added
focused routing coverage.
- Boxed a few large async TUI test futures so this base layer remains
checkable without overflowing the default test stack.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-tui --tests`
This PR adds marketplace removal to the /plugins menu, giving users a
way to remove user-configured plugin marketplaces. It adds a `Ctrl+R`
shortcut to remove selected marketplace tabs, a confirmation prompt,
loading and error states, and the app-server request flow needed to
perform marketplace/remove. After a successful removal, the TUI
refreshes config, plugin mentions, user config, and plugin data so the
removed marketplace disappears from the menu and other surfaces in the
TUI.
- Add `Ctrl+R` removal option for user-configured marketplace tabs
- Show marketplace removal confirmation, loading, and error states
- Route `marketplace/remove` through the TUI background request flow
- Refresh config, plugin mentions, and plugin data after successful
removal
- Adds reusable per-tab footer hints so removal guidance only appears on
applicable tabs
- Add test coverage for `Ctrl+R` behavior while plugin search is active
Steps to test:
- Add a marketplace using the TUI /plugins menu
- Use Ctrl+R to remove the marketplace
- Accept the confirmation prompt
- Confirm the marketplace is removed when the process completes.
## Summary
Codex is repurposing `session` to mean a thread group, so the realtime
provider session id should no longer use `session_id` / `sessionId` in
Codex-facing protocol payloads. This PR renames that provider-specific
field to `realtime_session_id` / `realtimeSessionId` and intentionally
breaks clients that still send the old field names.
## What Changed
- Renamed realtime provider session fields in `ConversationStartParams`,
`RealtimeConversationStartedEvent`, and `RealtimeEvent::SessionUpdated`.
- Renamed app-server v2 realtime request and notification fields to
`realtimeSessionId`.
- Removed legacy serde aliases for `session_id` / `sessionId`; clients
must send the new names.
- Propagated the rename through core realtime startup, app-server
adapters, codex-api websocket handling, and TUI realtime state.
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema/TypeScript outputs and updated
app-server README examples.
- Kept upstream Realtime API concepts unchanged: provider `session.id`
parsing and `x-session-id` headers still use the upstream wire names.
## Testing
- CI is running on the latest pushed commit.
- Earlier local verification on this PR:
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `CODEX_SKIP_VENDORED_BWRAP=1 cargo test -p codex-core
realtime_conversation`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CODEX_SKIP_VENDORED_BWRAP=1 cargo test -p codex-app-server
realtime_conversation`
- attempted `CODEX_SKIP_VENDORED_BWRAP=1 cargo test -p codex-tui` (local
linker bus error while linking the test binary)

## Why
Fixes#20264.
Side conversations are an ephemeral layer on top of the main chat.
Pressing `Ctrl+D` from an empty side-chat composer should unwind back to
the parent thread, matching the existing side-return behavior, instead
of falling through to the global quit shortcut and exiting Codex.
## What changed
The side-return shortcut matcher now treats `Ctrl+D` the same way it
already treats `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`. Because app-level side-return
handling runs before the chat widget's global quit handling, this
returns from `/side` while preserving normal `Ctrl+D` quit behavior
outside side conversations.
The existing shortcut coverage was updated to include lowercase and
uppercase `Ctrl+D` key events.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
side_return_shortcuts_match_esc_ctrl_c_and_ctrl_d`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` starts successfully and the new shortcut
test passes, but the broader suite later aborts in the unrelated
existing test
`app::tests::attach_live_thread_for_selection_rejects_unmaterialized_fallback_threads`
with a stack overflow.
## Why
This is part 3 of a 7-PR stack to remove direct
`codex_protocol::protocol` usage from `codex-tui` while keeping each
layer reviewable and shippable.
With `AppCommand` now explicit, the internal app event bus can carry TUI
commands directly instead of bouncing through core `Op` values.
## What changed
- Changed `AppEvent::CodexOp` and `AppEvent::SubmitThreadOp` to carry
`AppCommand`.
- Updated app-event senders and direct emitters to submit `AppCommand`
values.
- Adjusted tests to match `AppCommand` or convert back through
`into_core()` where they intentionally assert legacy payload equality.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --no-run`
## Why
Remote-control app-server enrollments have both an internal server id
and the environment id exposed to remote-control clients. App-server
clients need one current status snapshot that says whether remote
control is usable and which environment id, if any, is exposed.
A temporary websocket disconnect is not itself an identity change.
Account changes, stale enrollment invalidation, successful
re-enrollment, and missing ChatGPT auth are meaningful status changes.
Disabled remote control remains `disabled` regardless of auth or SQLite
state. SQLite startup failure disablement and enrollment persistence
failures are handled in #20068; this PR reports the resulting effective
status to clients.
## What changed
- Adds v2 `remoteControl/status/changed` carrying `state` and
`environmentId`.
- Adds `RemoteControlConnectionState` values: `disabled`, `connecting`,
`connected`, and `errored`.
- Exposes remote-control status updates through `RemoteControlHandle`
using a Tokio watch channel.
- Always sends the current remote-control status snapshot to newly
initialized app-server clients.
- Broadcasts status changes to initialized app-server clients when state
or environment id changes.
- Treats missing ChatGPT auth as an `errored` status while leaving it
retryable because auth can change at runtime.
- Clears `environmentId` when enrollment is cleared for account changes,
auth loss, stale backend invalidation, or disabled remote control.
- Updates app-server protocol schema fixtures, generated TypeScript,
app-server README, remote-control tests, and TUI exhaustive notification
matches.
## Stack
- Builds on #20068.

This PR adds a new feature to the `/plugins` menu that gives users the
ability to add new plugin marketplaces. It introduces an Add Marketplace
tab to the right of installed marketplaces, a source prompt, loading and
error states, and the app-server request flow needed to perform the
install. After a successful `marketplace/add`, the popup refreshes back
into the newly added marketplace tab so the new plugins are immediately
visible.
- Add an Add Marketplace tab to the `/plugins` menu
- Prompt for marketplace source input from git repo, URL, or local path
- Show loading and error states during `marketplace/add`
- Refresh plugin data after success and switch into the newly added
marketplace tab
- Add tests and snapshot updates
## Why
The TUI currently handles keyboard shortcuts as hard-coded event matches
spread across app, composer, pager, list, approval, and navigation code.
That makes shortcuts hard to customize, makes displayed hints easy to
drift from actual behavior, and makes future keymap work riskier because
there is no central action inventory.
This PR adds the foundation for configurable, action-based keymaps
without adding the interactive remapping UI yet. Onboarding
intentionally stays on fixed startup shortcuts because users cannot
reasonably configure keymaps before completing onboarding.
This is PR1 in the keymap stack:
- PR1: #18593: configurable keymap foundation
- PR2: #18594: `/keymap` picker and guided remapping UI
- PR3: #18595: Vim composer mode and the remap option
## Design Notes
The new model resolves named actions into concrete runtime bindings once
from config, then passes those bindings to the UI surfaces that handle
input or render shortcut hints.
The main concepts are:
- **Context**: a scope where an action is active, such as `global`,
`chat`, `composer`, `editor`, `pager`, `list`, or `approval`.
- **Action**: a named operation inside a context, such as
`global.open_transcript`, `composer.submit`, or `pager.close`.
- **Binding**: one or more single-key shortcuts assigned to an action,
written as config strings such as `ctrl-t`, `alt-backspace`, or
`page-down`. Multi-step sequences such as `ctrl-x ctrl-s`, `g g`, or
leader-key flows are not part of this PR.
- **Resolution order**: context-specific config wins first, supported
global fallbacks come next, and built-in defaults fill in anything
unset.
- **Explicit unbinding**: an empty array removes an action binding in
that scope and does not fall through to a fallback binding.
- **Conflict validation**: a resolved keymap rejects duplicate active
bindings inside the same scope so one keypress cannot dispatch two
actions.
## What Changed
- Added `TuiKeymap` config support under `[tui.keymap]`, including typed
contexts/actions, key alias normalization, generated schema coverage,
and user-facing config errors.
- Added `RuntimeKeymap` resolution in `codex-rs/tui/src/keymap.rs`,
including fallback precedence, built-in defaults, explicit unbinding,
and per-context conflict validation.
- Rewired existing TUI handlers to consume resolved keymap actions
instead of directly matching hard-coded keys in each component.
- Updated key hint rendering and footer/pager/list surfaces so displayed
shortcuts follow the resolved keymap.
- Kept onboarding shortcuts fixed in
`codex-rs/tui/src/onboarding/keys.rs` instead of exposing them through
`[tui.keymap]`.
## Validation
The branch includes focused coverage for config parsing, key
normalization, runtime fallback resolution, explicit unbinding,
duplicate-key conflict validation, default keymap consistency,
onboarding startup key behavior, and UI hint snapshots affected by
resolved key bindings.
## Why
After thread sessions have a required `PermissionProfile`, the TUI no
longer needs to cache a separate legacy `SandboxPolicy` in
`ThreadSessionState`. Keeping the legacy field would reintroduce two
permission authorities in the session cache and make later
replay/switching logic easier to get wrong.
This PR keeps legacy app-server compatibility at the ingestion boundary:
old `sandbox` response values are still accepted, but they are
immediately converted to a cwd-anchored profile.
## What Changed
- Removes `ThreadSessionState.sandbox_policy`.
- Updates active-session permission syncing to write only the current
`PermissionProfile`.
- Updates thread-read/replay/test fixtures to use profiles as the cached
session permission source.
- Leaves legacy `sandbox` fields in app-server request/response protocol
paths unchanged; those are compatibility boundaries and are converted
before entering cached TUI state.
## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-tui

- `cargo test -p codex-tui thread_events --lib`

* #19900
* #19899
* __->__ #19776
## Why
`SessionConfiguredEvent` is the internal event that tells clients what
permissions are active for a session. Emitting both `sandbox_policy` and
`permission_profile` leaves two possible authorities and forces every
consumer to decide which one to honor. At this point in the migration,
the profile is expressive enough to represent managed, disabled, and
external sandbox enforcement, so the internal event can be profile-only.
The wire compatibility concern is older serialized events or rollout
data that only contain `sandbox_policy`; those still need to
deserialize.
## What Changed
- Removes `sandbox_policy` from `SessionConfiguredEvent` and makes
`permission_profile` required.
- Adds custom deserialization so old payloads with only `sandbox_policy`
are upgraded to a cwd-anchored `PermissionProfile`.
- Updates core event emission and TUI session handling to sync
permissions from the profile directly.
- Updates app-server response construction to derive the legacy
`sandbox` response field from the active thread snapshot instead of from
`SessionConfiguredEvent`.
- Updates yolo-mode display logic to treat both
`PermissionProfile::Disabled` and managed unrestricted filesystem plus
enabled network as full-access, while still preserving the distinction
between no sandbox and external sandboxing.

## Why
`ThreadSessionState` is the TUI's cached view of an app-server session.
To make `PermissionProfile` the canonical runtime permissions model,
cached thread sessions need to always have a profile instead of treating
the profile as an optional supplement to a legacy `sandbox` response
field.
The main compatibility concern is older app-server v2 lifecycle
responses that only include `sandbox` and omit `permissionProfile`:
- `thread/start` -> `ThreadStartResponse.sandbox`
- `thread/resume` -> `ThreadResumeResponse.sandbox`
- `thread/fork` -> `ThreadForkResponse.sandbox`
Those responses must still hydrate correctly when the TUI is pointed at
an older app-server. This PR converts the legacy `sandbox` value into a
`PermissionProfile` immediately at response ingestion time, using the
response `cwd`, so cached sessions do not carry an optional profile that
can later reinterpret cwd-bound grants against a different thread cwd.
This fallback is intentionally boundary compatibility. The follow-up PRs
in this stack continue the cleanup by making `SessionConfiguredEvent`
profile-only, deriving sandbox projections from snapshots only when an
API still needs them, and then removing `sandbox_policy` from
`ThreadSessionState`.
## What Changed
- Makes `ThreadSessionState.permission_profile` required.
- Converts legacy app-server response `sandbox` values into a
`PermissionProfile` at ingestion time using the response cwd.
- Ensures `thread/read` hydration does not reuse a primary session
profile that may be anchored to a different cwd; it uses the active
widget permission settings for the read thread fallback instead of
reusing cached primary-session permissions.
- Keeps the app-server request path unchanged: embedded sessions send
profiles, while remote sessions continue using legacy sandbox overrides
for compatibility.

## Why
Fixes#19632.
When a delegated agent requests approval for an in-progress file change,
the parent TUI handles that request from an inactive thread. The app
server already sent the `FileChange` item with the proposed diff, but
the inactive-thread approval path was not recovering and rendering it
the same way as the active-thread path.
The result was an inconsistent approval prompt: main-thread edits show a
normal patch preview history item before the approval modal, while
delegated edits did not show that preview in the transcript flow.
## What Changed
- Recover buffered or historical `FileChange` item changes when building
inactive-thread file-change approval requests.
- Reuse the app-server file-change conversion helper for both live
transcript rendering and inactive-thread approvals.
- Render recovered delegated patches as a normal patch preview history
cell before the approval modal.
- Keep apply-patch approval modals focused on the decision prompt and
optional metadata; they do not render a synthetic command line or embed
the diff body.
## Manual Repro And Verification
I manually reproduced the issue using a file under `~/Desktop` so the
write would require approval.
Before the fix:
1. Ask the main thread: `Use apply_patch, not shell redirection or
Python, to create ~/Desktop/bug1.txt with three short lines.`
2. Observe the expected TUI shape: the transcript shows a normal patch
preview such as `• Added ~/Desktop/bug1.txt (+N -0)` above the approval
modal, and the modal contains only the approval prompt/options without a
synthetic command line.
3. Ask for the delegated path: `Spawn a worker. Have it use apply_patch,
not shell redirection or Python, to create ~/Desktop/bug1.txt with four
short lines.`
4. Observe the delegated approval is inconsistent: the parent view does
not render the proposed patch as the normal transcript preview before
the modal, so the diff context is missing from the stream or appears
inside the modal instead of in the history flow.
After the fix:
1. Repeat the delegated worker prompt with `apply_patch`.
2. Confirm the parent view renders the same normal patch preview history
cell (`• Added ~/Desktop/bug1.txt (+N -0)` plus the diff) immediately
before the approval modal.
3. Confirm the approval modal remains focused on the decision prompt.
For delegated approvals it may show the worker thread label, but it
should not show a `$ apply_patch` command line or embed the diff body in
the modal.
## Why
This PR make the `morpheus` agent (memory phase 2) use a git diff to
start it's consolidation. The workflow is the following:
1. The agent acquire a lock
2. If `.codex/memories` does not exist or is not a git root, initialize
everything (and make a first empty commit)
3. Update `raw_memories.md` and `rollout_summaries/` as before.
Basically we select max N phase 1 memories based on a given policy
4. We use git (`gix`) to get a diff between the current state of
`.codex/memories` and the last commit.
5. Dump the diff in `phase2_workspace_diff.md`
6. Spawn `morpheus` and point it to `phase2_workspace_diff.md`
7. Wait for `morpheus` to be done
8. Re-create a new `.git` and make one single commit on it. We do this
because we don't want to preserve history through `.git` and this is
cheap anyway
9. We release the lock
On top of this, we keep the retry policies etc etc
The goals of this new workflow are:
* Better support of any memory extensions such as `chronicle`
* Allow the user to manually edit memories and this will be considered
by the phase 2 agent
As a follow-up we will need to add support for user's edition while
`morpheus` is running
## What Changed
- Added memory workspace helpers that prepare the git baseline, compute
the diff, write `phase2_workspace_diff.md`, and reset the baseline after
successful consolidation.
- Updated Phase 2 to sync current inputs into `raw_memories.md` and
`rollout_summaries/`, prune old extension resources, skip clean
workspaces, and run the consolidation subagent only when the workspace
has changes.
- Tightened Phase 2 job ownership around long-running consolidation with
heartbeats and an ownership check before resetting the baseline.
- Simplified the prompt and state APIs so DB watermarks are bookkeeping,
while workspace dirtiness decides whether consolidation work exists.
- Updated the memory pipeline README and tests for workspace diffs,
extension-resource cleanup, pollution-driven forgetting, selection
ranking, and baseline persistence.
## Verification
- Added/updated coverage in `core/src/memories/tests.rs`,
`core/src/memories/workspace_tests.rs`, `state/src/runtime/memories.rs`,
and `core/tests/suite/memories.rs`.

## Why
Auto-review can deny an action that the user later decides they want to
retry. Today there is no TUI surface for selecting a recent denial and
sending explicit approval context back into the session, so users have
to restate intent manually and the retry can be reviewed without the
original denied action context.
This adds a narrow TUI-driven path for approving a recent denied action
while still keeping the retry inside the normal auto-review flow.
## What Changed
- Added `/auto-review-denials` to open a picker of recent denied
auto-review actions.
- Added a small in-memory TUI store for the 10 most recent denied
auto-review events.
- Selecting a denial sends the structured denied event back through the
existing core/app-server op path.
- Core now injects a developer message containing the approved action
JSON rather than the full assessment event.
- Auto-review transcript collection now preserves this specific approval
developer message so follow-up review sessions can see the user approval
context.
- Added TUI snapshot/unit coverage for the picker and approval dispatch
path.
- Added core coverage for retaining the approval developer message in
the auto-review transcript.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core
collect_guardian_transcript_entries_keeps_manual_approval_developer_message`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui auto_review_denials`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
approving_recent_denial_emits_structured_core_op_once`
## Notes
This intentionally keeps retries going through auto-review. The approval
signal is context for the exact previously denied action, not a blanket
bypass for similar future actions.
## 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.

* #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.

Fixes multiple scrollback and terminal resize issues: #5538, #5576,
#8352, #12223, #16165, and #15380.
## Why
Codex writes finalized transcript output into terminal scrollback after
wrapping it for the current viewport width. A later terminal resize
could leave that scrollback shaped for the old width, so wider windows
kept narrow output and narrower windows could show stale wrapping
artifacts until enough new output replaced the visible area.
This is also the foundation PR for responsive markdown tables. Table
rendering needs finalized transcript content to be width-sensitive after
insertion, not only while content is first streaming. Markdown table
rendering itself stays in #18576.
## Stack
- PR1: resize backlog reflow and interrupt cleanup
- #18576: markdown table support
## What Changed
- Rebuild source-backed transcript history when the terminal width
changes. `terminal_resize_reflow` is introduced through the experimental
feature system, but is enabled by default for this rollout so we can
validate behavior across real terminals.
- Preserve assistant and plan stream source so finalized streaming
output can participate in resize reflow after consolidation.
- Debounce resize work, but force a final source-backed reflow when a
resize happened during active or unconsolidated streaming output.
- Clear stale pending history lines on resize so old-width wrapped
output is not emitted just before rebuilt scrollback.
- Bound replay work with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow].max_rows`:
omitted uses terminal-specific defaults, `0` keeps all rendered rows,
and a positive value sets an explicit cap. The cap applies both while
initially replaying a resumed transcript into scrollback and when
rebuilding scrollback after terminal resize.
- Consolidate interrupted assistant streams before cleanup, then clear
pending stream output and active-tail state consistently.
- Move resize reflow and thread event buffering helpers out of `app.rs`
into dedicated TUI modules.
- Add focused coverage for resize reflow, feature-gated behavior,
streaming source preservation, interrupted output cleanup,
unicode-neutral text, terminal-specific row caps, and composer/layout
stability.
## Runtime Bounds
Resize reflow keeps only the most recent rendered rows when a row cap is
active. The default is `auto`, which maps to the detected terminal's
default scrollback size where Codex can identify it: VS Code `1000`,
Windows Terminal `9001`, WezTerm `3500`, and Alacritty `10000`.
Terminals without a dedicated mapping use the conservative fallback of
`1000` rows. Users can override this with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow]
max_rows = N`, or set `max_rows = 0` to disable row limiting.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui reflow`
- `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui

- PR CI in progress on the squashed branch
Adds the TUI user experience for goals on top of the core runtime from
PR 4.
## Why
Users need a direct TUI control surface for long-running goals. The UI
should make the current goal visible, support common goal actions
without waiting for a model turn, and avoid confusing end-of-turn
notifications while an active goal is immediately continuing.
## What changed
- Added `/goal` summary rendering for the current goal, including
active, paused, budget-limited, and complete states.
- Added `/goal <objective>` creation/replacement through the app-server
goal API rather than a model prompt.
- Added `/goal clear`, `/goal pause`, and `/goal unpause` command
variants.
- Added a confirmation menu when the user enters a new goal while
another goal already exists.
- Updated `/goal` help and summary tip text so it reflects the supported
command variants without advertising slash-command token budgets.
- Added footer/statusline goal indicators, including elapsed time and
token budget display when a budget exists from API/tool-created goals.
- Consumes goal updated/cleared notifications so the TUI stays in sync
with external app-server changes.
- Suppresses end-of-turn desktop notifications only when a goal is still
active and follow-up work is expected.
- Preserves slash-command history behavior and avoids leaking queued
`/goal` state into unrelated submissions.
## Verification
- Added TUI unit and snapshot coverage for goal command availability,
summary rendering, control commands, replacement menu behavior,
status/footer display, notification handling, and command history.
Adds the app-server v2 goal API on top of the persisted goal state from
PR 1.
## Why
Clients need a stable app-server surface for reading and controlling
materialized thread goals before the model tools and TUI can use them.
Goal changes also need to be observable by app-server clients, including
clients that resume an existing thread.
## What changed
- Added v2 `thread/goal/get`, `thread/goal/set`, and `thread/goal/clear`
RPCs for materialized threads.
- Added `thread/goal/updated` and `thread/goal/cleared` notifications so
clients can keep local goal state in sync.
- Added resume/snapshot wiring so reconnecting clients see the current
goal state for a thread.
- Added app-server handlers that reconcile persisted rollout state
before direct goal mutations.
- Updated the app-server README plus generated JSON and TypeScript
schema fixtures for the new API surface.
## Verification
- Added app-server v2 coverage for goal get/set/clear behavior,
notification emission, resume snapshots, and non-local thread-store
interactions.
## Why
The profile conversion path still required a `cwd` even when it was only
translating a legacy `SandboxPolicy` into a `PermissionProfile`. That
made profile producers invent an ambient `cwd`, which is exactly the
anchoring we are trying to remove from permission-profile data. A legacy
workspace-write policy can be represented symbolically instead: `:cwd =
write` plus read-only `:project_roots` metadata subpaths.
This PR creates that cwd-free base so the rest of the stack can stop
threading cwd through profile construction. Callers that actually need a
concrete runtime filesystem policy for a specific cwd still have an
explicitly named cwd-bound conversion.
## What Changed
- `PermissionProfile::from_legacy_sandbox_policy` now takes only
`&SandboxPolicy`.
- `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::from_legacy_sandbox_policy` is now the
symbolic, cwd-free projection for profiles.
- The old concrete projection is retained as
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::from_legacy_sandbox_policy_for_cwd` for
runtime/boundary code that must materialize legacy cwd behavior.
- Workspace-write profiles preserve `CurrentWorkingDirectory` and
`ProjectRoots` special entries instead of materializing cwd into
absolute paths.

* __->__ #19414
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions abstraction,
but the old shape only carried optional filesystem and network fields.
It could describe allowed access, but not who is responsible for
enforcing it. That made `DangerFullAccess` and `ExternalSandbox` lossy
when profiles were exported, cached, or round-tripped through app-server
APIs.
The important model change is that active permissions are now a disjoint
union over the enforcement mode. Conceptually:
```rust
pub enum PermissionProfile {
Managed {
file_system: FileSystemSandboxPolicy,
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
Disabled,
External {
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
}
```
This distinction matters because `Disabled` means Codex should apply no
outer sandbox at all, while `External` means filesystem isolation is
owned by an outside caller. Those are not equivalent to a broad managed
sandbox. For example, macOS cannot nest Seatbelt inside Seatbelt, so an
inner sandbox may require the outer Codex layer to use no sandbox rather
than a permissive one.
## How Existing Modeling Maps
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains a boundary projection, but it now maps
into the higher-fidelity profile model:
- `ReadOnly` and `WorkspaceWrite` map to `PermissionProfile::Managed`
with restricted filesystem entries plus the corresponding network
policy.
- `DangerFullAccess` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
the “no outer sandbox” intent instead of treating it as a lax managed
sandbox.
- `ExternalSandbox { network_access }` maps to
`PermissionProfile::External { network }`, preserving external
filesystem enforcement while still carrying the active network policy.
- Split runtime policies that legacy `SandboxPolicy` cannot faithfully
express, such as managed unrestricted filesystem plus restricted
network, stay `Managed` instead of being collapsed into
`ExternalSandbox`.
- Per-command/session/turn grants remain partial overlays via
`AdditionalPermissionProfile`; full `PermissionProfile` is reserved for
complete active runtime permissions.
## What Changed
- Change active `PermissionProfile` into a tagged union: `managed`,
`disabled`, and `external`.
- Keep partial permission grants separate with
`AdditionalPermissionProfile` for command/session/turn overlays.
- Represent managed filesystem permissions as either `restricted`
entries or `unrestricted`; `glob_scan_max_depth` is non-zero when
present.
- Preserve old rollout compatibility by accepting the pre-tagged `{
network, file_system }` profile shape during deserialization.
- Preserve fidelity for important edge cases: `DangerFullAccess`
round-trips as `disabled`, `ExternalSandbox` round-trips as `external`,
and managed unrestricted filesystem + restricted network stays managed
instead of being mistaken for external enforcement.
- Preserve configured deny-read entries and bounded glob scan depth when
full profiles are projected back into runtime policies, including
unrestricted replacements that now become `:root = write` plus deny
entries.
- Regenerate the experimental app-server v2 JSON/TypeScript schema and
update the `command/exec` README example for the tagged
`permissionProfile` shape.
## Compatibility
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains available at config/API boundaries as the
compatibility projection. Existing rollout lines with the old
`PermissionProfile` shape continue to load. The app-server
`permissionProfile` field is experimental, so its v2 wire shape is
intentionally updated to match the higher-fidelity model.

## Summary
`/review` can be interrupted while it is still spawning the review
sub-agent. That spawn path lives in `codex-core` and did not observe the
task cancellation token until after `Codex::spawn` returned, so an
interrupted review could keep building a child session and leave the TUI
in a wedged state.
The TUI exit path also waited indefinitely for app-server
`thread/unsubscribe`, which made Ctrl+C look broken if the app-server
was already stuck. This makes interactive delegate startup
cancellation-aware and bounds the TUI shutdown-first unsubscribe wait
with a short UI escape-hatch timeout.
## Testing
I reproed the hang using the steps in the bug report. Confirmed hang no
longer exists after fix.
## Why
Per-turn permission overrides should use the same canonical profile
abstraction as session configuration. That lets TUI submissions preserve
exact configured permissions without round-tripping through legacy
sandbox fields.
## What changed
This adds `permission_profile` to user-turn operations, threads it
through TUI/app-server submission paths, fills the new field in existing
test fixtures, and adds coverage that composer submission includes the
configured profile.
## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages --

* #18288
* #18287
* #18286
* __->__ #18285
## Why
Once `SessionConfigured` carries the active `PermissionProfile`, the TUI
must treat that as authoritative session state. Otherwise the widget can
keep stale local permission details after a session is configured or
resumed.
The TUI also keeps a local `Config` copy used for later operations, so
session-sourced profiles and subsequent local sandbox changes need to
keep the derived split runtime permissions in sync. Because this PR may
land before the follow-up user-turn profile plumbing, embedded
app-server turns also need a standalone path for carrying local runtime
sandbox overrides.
## What changed
- Sync the chat widget runtime filesystem/network permissions from
`SessionConfigured.permission_profile`, with the legacy `sandbox_policy`
as the fallback.
- Recompute split runtime permissions whenever the TUI applies or
carries forward a local sandbox-policy override.
- Mark feature-driven Auto-review sandbox changes as runtime sandbox
overrides so the standalone embedded turn-start profile path is used
even without the follow-up user-turn profile PR.
- Send a turn-start `permissionProfile` for embedded,
non-ExternalSandbox turns when the TUI has a runtime sandbox override;
remote and ExternalSandbox turns keep using the legacy sandbox field.
- Extend coverage for profile sync, local sandbox changes,
ExternalSandbox fallback, feature-driven sandbox overrides, and
turn-start permission override selection.

* __->__ #18284
## Why
This keeps the partial Guardian subagent -> Auto-review rename
forward-compatible across mixed Codex installations. Newer binaries need
to understand the new `auto_review` spelling, but they cannot write it
to shared `~/.codex/config.toml` yet because older CLI/app-server
bundles only know `user` and `guardian_subagent` and can fail during
config load before recovering.
The Python SDK had the opposite compatibility gap: app-server responses
can contain `approvalsReviewer: "auto_review"`, but the checked-in
generated SDK enum did not accept that value.
## What Changed
- Keep `ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview` readable from both
`guardian_subagent` and `auto_review`, while serializing it as
`guardian_subagent` in both protocol crates.
- Update TUI Auto-review persistence tests so enabling Auto-review
writes `approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"` while UI copy still
says Auto-review.
- Map managed/cloud `feature_requirements.auto_review` to the existing
`Feature::GuardianApproval` gate without adding a broad local
`[features].auto_review` key or changing config writes.
- Add `auto_review` to the Python SDK `ApprovalsReviewer` enum and cover
`ThreadResumeResponse` validation.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol approvals_reviewer`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol approvals_reviewer`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
update_feature_flags_enabling_guardian_selects_auto_review`

- `pytest
sdk/python/tests/test_client_rpc_methods.py::test_thread_resume_response_accepts_auto_review_reviewer`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
`item/permissions/requestApproval` sends a requested permission profile
to app-server clients. The core profile already stores filesystem
permissions as `entries`, but the v2 compatibility conversion used the
legacy `read`/`write` projection whenever possible and left `entries`
unset.
That made the request ambiguous for clients that consume the canonical
v2 shape: `permissions.fileSystem.entries` was missing even though
filesystem access was being requested. A client that rendered or echoed
grants from `entries` could treat the request as having no filesystem
permission entries, then return an empty or incomplete grant. The
app-server intersects responses with the original request, so omitted
filesystem permissions are denied.
## What Changed
- Populate `AdditionalFileSystemPermissions.entries` when converting
legacy read/write roots for request permission payloads, while
preserving `read` and `write` for compatibility.
- Mark `read` and `write` as transitional schema fields in the generated
app-server schema.
- Add regression coverage for the v2 conversion, the app-server
`item/permissions/requestApproval` round trip, and TUI app-server
approval conversion expectations.
- Refresh generated JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server request_permissions_round_trip`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui

- `cargo test -p codex-tui
resolves_permissions_and_user_input_through_app_server_request_id`
## Why
When the TUI upgrade flow moves a user to a newer model, the accepted
migration should also persist the target model's default reasoning
effort. That keeps the upgraded model and reasoning setting aligned
instead of carrying forward a stale previously saved effort from the old
model.
## What changed
- The accepted model migration path now updates in-memory config, TUI
state, and persisted model selection with the target preset's
`default_reasoning_effort`.
- The upgrade destructuring keeps `reasoning_effort_mapping` explicitly
unused because mappings are no longer consulted on accepted migrations.
- Added a catalog test that starts with a pre-existing saved reasoning
effort and verifies the accepted upgrade overwrites it with the target
model default and emits the expected persistence events.
- Rebasing onto current `main` also updates a TUI thread-session test
helper for the latest `permission_profile` field and
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview` rename so CI compiles on the new base.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui model_catalog`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
permission_settings_sync_updates_active_snapshot_without_rewriting_side_thread`
Addresses #18854
## Why
The `/permissions` selector updates the active TUI session state, but
the cached session snapshot used when replaying a thread could still
contain the old approval or sandbox settings. After opening and leaving
`/side`, the main thread replay could restore those stale settings into
the `ChatWidget`, so the UI and the next submitted turn could fall back
to the old permission mode.
## What
- Sync the active thread's cached `ThreadSessionState` whenever approval
policy, sandbox policy, or approval reviewer changes.
## Verification
Confirmed bug prior to fix and correct behavior after fix.
## Why
Enterprise and business-like ChatGPT plans should get Codex's Fast
service tier by default when the user or caller has not made an explicit
service-tier choice. At the same time, callers need a durable way to
choose standard routing without adding a new persisted `standard`
service tier value. This keeps existing config compatibility while
letting core own the managed default policy.
## What changed
- Resolve the effective service tier in core at session creation:
explicit `fast` or `flex` wins, explicit null/clear or
`[notice].fast_default_opt_out = true` resolves to standard routing, and
otherwise eligible ChatGPT plans resolve to Fast when FastMode is
enabled.
- Add `[notice].fast_default_opt_out` as the persisted opt-out marker
for managed Fast defaults.
- Treat app-server/TUI `service_tier: null` as an explicit
standard/clear choice by preserving that intent through config loading.
- Update TUI rendering to use core's effective service tier for startup
and status surfaces while still keeping `config.service_tier` as the
explicit configured choice.
- Update `/fast off` to clear `service_tier`, persist the opt-out
marker, and send explicit standard for subsequent turns.
## Verification
- Added unit coverage for config override/notice handling, service-tier
resolution, runtime null clearing, and `/fast off` turn propagation.
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
Full test suite was not run locally per author request.
## Why
Clients that observe `SessionConfigured` need the same canonical
permission view that app-server thread responses provide. Reporting the
profile in protocol events lets clients keep their local state
synchronized without reinterpreting legacy sandbox fields.
## What changed
This adds `permission_profile` to `SessionConfigured` and propagates it
through core, exec JSON output, MCP server messages, and TUI
history/widget handling.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages --

## Summary
Allow the user to approve a request_permissions_tool request with the
condition that all commands in the rest of the turn are reviewed by
guardian, regardless of sandbox status.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
- [x] Ran locally
## Why
`approvals_reviewer` now uses `auto_review` as the canonical config/API
value after #18504, but the Rust enum variant and nearby helper/test
names still used `GuardianSubagent` / guardian approval wording. That
made follow-up code and reviews confusing even though the external value
had already moved to Auto-review.
## What changed
- Renamed `ApprovalsReviewer::GuardianSubagent` to
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Updated protocol, app-server, config, core, TUI, exec, and analytics
test callsites.
- Renamed nearby helper/test names from guardian approval wording to
Auto-review wording where they refer to the approvals reviewer mode.
- Preserved wire compatibility:
- `auto_review` remains the canonical serialized value.
- `guardian_subagent` remains accepted as a legacy alias.
This intentionally does not rename the `[features].guardian_approval`
key, `Feature::GuardianApproval`, `core/src/guardian`, analytics event
names, or app-server Guardian review event types.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol

- `cargo test -p codex-tui update_feature_flags`
- `cargo test -p codex-core permissions_instructions`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions_selection`
## Why
Resume and reconstruction need to preserve the permissions that were
active for each user turn. If rollouts only keep legacy sandbox fields,
replay cannot faithfully represent profile-shaped overrides introduced
earlier in the stack.
## What changed
This records `permission_profile` on user-turn rollout events,
reconstructs it through history/state extraction, and updates rollout
reconstruction and related fixtures to keep the field explicit.
## Verification

## Why
After app-server can accept `PermissionProfile`, first-party clients
should stop preferring legacy sandbox fields when canonical permission
information is available. This keeps the migration moving without
removing legacy compatibility yet.
The client side still has mixed surfaces during the stack: embedded
thread start/resume/fork and exec initial turns can derive a profile
directly from local config, while TUI remote sessions and some
turn-start paths only have a legacy/server-context-safe sandbox
projection. Those paths keep sending legacy sandbox fields rather than
synthesizing or sending lossy/local-only profiles.
## What changed
- Sends `permissionProfile` from exec and embedded TUI thread
start/resume/fork requests when config has a representable profile.
- Keeps legacy sandbox fallback for external sandbox policies, TUI
remote thread lifecycle requests, and TUI turn-start requests that do
not yet carry the active profile.
- Sends the actual config-derived `permissionProfile` for exec initial
turns instead of rebuilding one from the legacy sandbox projection.
- Stores response `permissionProfile` as optional in TUI session state
so external sandbox responses and compatibility payloads preserve
`null`.
- Updates tests for request construction and response mapping.

### Why
Auto-review is the user-facing name for the approvals reviewer, but the
config/API value still exposed the old `guardian_subagent` name. That
made new configs and generated schemas point users at Guardian
terminology even though the intended product surface is Auto-review.
This PR updates the external `approvals_reviewer` value while preserving
compatibility for existing configs and clients.
### What changed
- Makes `auto_review` the canonical serialized value for
`approvals_reviewer`.
- Keeps `guardian_subagent` accepted as a legacy alias.
- Keeps `user` accepted and serialized as `user`.
- Updates generated config and app-server schemas so
`approvals_reviewer` includes:
- `user`
- `auto_review`
- `guardian_subagent`
- Updates app-server README docs for the reviewer value.
- Updates analytics and config requirements tests for the canonical
auto_review value.
### Compatibility
Existing configs and API payloads using:
```toml
approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"
```
continue to load and map to the Auto-review reviewer behavior.
New serialization emits:
```toml
approvals_reviewer = "auto_review"
```
This PR intentionally does not rename the [features].guardian_approval
key or broad internal Guardian symbols. Those are split out for a
follow-up PR to keep this migration small and avoid touching large
TUI/internal surfaces.

## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions shape shared
by core and app-server. After app-server responses expose the active
profile, clients need to be able to send that same shape back when
starting, resuming, forking, or overriding a turn instead of translating
through the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` shorthands.
This still needs to preserve the existing requirements/platform
enforcement model. A profile-shaped request can be downgraded or
rejected by constraints, but the server should keep the user's
elevated-access intent for project trust decisions. Turn-level profile
overrides also need to retain existing read protections, including
deny-read entries and bounded glob-scan metadata, so a permission
override cannot accidentally drop configured protections such as
`**/*.env = deny`.
## What changed
- Adds optional `permissionProfile` request fields to `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start`.
- Rejects ambiguous requests that specify both `permissionProfile` and
the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` fields, including running-thread
resume requests.
- Converts profile-shaped overrides into core runtime filesystem/network
permissions while continuing to derive the constrained legacy sandbox
projection used by existing execution paths.
- Preserves project-trust intent for profile overrides that are
equivalent to workspace-write or full-access sandbox requests.
- Preserves existing deny-read entries and `globScanMaxDepth` when
applying turn-level `permissionProfile` overrides.
- Updates app-server docs plus generated JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures
and regression coverage.

## Summary
Short circuit the convo if auto-review hits too many denials
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
---------
Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
## Summary
This adds the structural plumbing needed for an app-server client to
approve a previously denied Guardian review and carry that approval
context into the next model turn.
This PR does not add the actual `/auto-review-denials` tool
## What Changed
- Added app-server v2 RPC `thread/approveGuardianDeniedAction`.
- Added generated JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures for
`ThreadApproveGuardianDeniedAction*`.
- Added core `Op::ApproveGuardianDeniedAction`.
- Added a core handler that validates the event is a denied Guardian
assessment and injects a developer message containing the stored denial
event JSON.
- Queues the approval context for the next turn if there is no active
turn yet.
- Added the TUI app-server bridge so `Op::ApproveGuardianDeniedAction {
event }` is routed to the app-server request.
## What This Does Not Do
- Does not add `/auto-review-denials`.
- Does not add chat widget recent-denial state.
- Does not add popup/list UI.
- Does not add a product-facing denial lookup/store.
- Does not change where Guardian denials are originally emitted or
persisted.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui thread_approve_guardian_denied_action`
## Why
Guardian analytics includes time-to-first-token, but the Guardian
reviewer runs as a normal Codex session and `TurnCompleteEvent` did not
expose TTFT. The timing needs to flow through the standard
turn-completion protocol so Guardian review analytics can consume the
same value as the rest of the session machinery.
## What changed
Adds optional `time_to_first_token_ms` to `TurnCompleteEvent` and
populates it from `TurnTiming`. The value is carried through app-server
thread history, rollout reconstruction, TUI/app-server adapters, and
Guardian review session handling.
Guardian review analytics now captures TTFT from the reviewer
turn-complete event when available. Existing tests and fixtures are
updated to set the new optional field to `None` where TTFT is not
relevant.

## Why
Permission approval responses must not be able to grant more access than
the tool requested. Moving this flow to `PermissionProfile` means the
comparison must be profile-shaped instead of `SandboxPolicy`-shaped, and
cwd-relative special paths such as `:cwd` and `:project_roots` must stay
anchored to the turn that produced the request.
## What changed
This implements semantic `PermissionProfile` intersection in
`codex-sandboxing` for file-system and network permissions. The
intersection accepts narrower path grants, rejects broader grants,
preserves deny-read carve-outs and glob scan depth, and materializes
cwd-dependent special-path grants to absolute paths before they can be
recorded for reuse.
The request-permissions response paths now use that intersection
consistently. App-server captures the request turn cwd before waiting
for the client response, includes that cwd in the v2 approval params,
and core stores the requested profile plus cwd for direct TUI/client
responses and Guardian decisions before recording turn- or
session-scoped grants. The TUI app-server bridge now preserves the
app-server request cwd when converting permission approval params into
core events.

## Summary
The TUI app refactor in #18753 moved the old `app.rs` tests into a
single `app/tests.rs` file. That kept the split mechanically simple, but
it left several focused unit tests far from the modules they exercise.
This PR is a follow-up that moves tests next to the code they cover.
It also adds `tui/src/app/test_support.rs` for shared fixture
construction.
This is just a mechanical refactoring (no functional changes) and does
not affect any production code.
Deferred dynamic tools need to round-trip a namespace so a tool returned
by `tool_search` can be called through the same registry key that core
uses for dispatch.
This change adds namespace support for dynamic tool specs/calls,
persists it through app-server thread state, and routes dynamic tool
calls by full `ToolName` while still sending the app the leaf tool name.
Deferred dynamic tools must provide a namespace; non-deferred dynamic
tools may remain top-level.
It also introduces `LoadableToolSpec` as the shared
function-or-namespace Responses shape used by both `tool_search` output
and dynamic tool registration, so dynamic tools use the same wrapping
logic in both paths.
Validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core tool_search`
