# External (non-OpenAI) Pull Request Requirements
In `js_repl` mode, module resolution currently starts from
`js_repl_kernel.js`, which is written to a per-kernel temp dir. This
effectively means that bare imports will not resolve.
This PR adds a new config option, `js_repl_node_module_dirs`, which is a
list of dirs that are used (in order) to resolve a bare import. If none
of those work, the current working directory of the thread is used.
For example:
```toml
js_repl_node_module_dirs = [
"/path/to/node_modules/",
"/other/path/to/node_modules/",
]
```
zsh fork PR stack:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12051
- https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052👈
### Summary
This PR introduces a feature-gated native shell runtime path that routes
shell execution through a patched zsh exec bridge, removing MCP-specific
behavior from the shell hot path while preserving existing
CommandExecution lifecycle semantics.
When shell_zsh_fork is enabled, shell commands run via patched zsh with
per-`execve` interception through EXEC_WRAPPER. Core receives wrapper
IPC requests over a Unix socket, applies existing approval policy, and
returns allow/deny before the subcommand executes.
### What’s included
**1) New zsh exec bridge runtime in core**
- Wrapper-mode entrypoint (maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode) for
EXEC_WRAPPER invocations.
- Per-execution Unix-socket IPC handling for wrapper requests/responses.
- Approval callback integration using existing core approval
orchestration.
- Streaming stdout/stderr deltas to existing command output event
pipeline.
- Error handling for malformed IPC, denial/abort, and execution
failures.
**2) Session lifecycle integration**
SessionServices now owns a `ZshExecBridge`.
Session startup initializes bridge state; shutdown tears it down
cleanly.
**3) Shell runtime routing (feature-gated)**
When `shell_zsh_fork` is enabled:
- Build execution env/spec as usual.
- Add wrapper socket env wiring.
- Execute via `zsh_exec_bridge.execute_shell_request(...)` instead of
the regular shell path.
- Non-zsh-fork behavior remains unchanged.
**4) Config + feature wiring**
- Added `Feature::ShellZshFork` (under development).
- Added config support for `zsh_path` (optional absolute path to patched
zsh):
- `Config`, `ConfigToml`, `ConfigProfile`, overrides, and schema.
- Session startup validates that `zsh_path` exists/usable when zsh-fork
is enabled.
- Added startup test for missing `zsh_path` failure mode.
**5) Seatbelt/sandbox updates for wrapper IPC**
- Extended seatbelt policy generation to optionally allow outbound
connection to explicitly permitted Unix sockets.
- Wired sandboxing path to pass wrapper socket path through to seatbelt
policy generation.
- Added/updated seatbelt tests for explicit socket allow rule and
argument emission.
**6) Runtime entrypoint hooks**
- This allows the same binary to act as the zsh wrapper subprocess when
invoked via `EXEC_WRAPPER`.
**7) Tool selection behavior**
- ToolsConfig now prefers ShellCommand type when shell_zsh_fork is
enabled.
- Added test coverage for precedence with unified-exec enabled.
rm `remote_models` feature flag.
We see issues like #11527 when a user has `remote_models` disabled, as
we always use the default fallback `ModelInfo`. This causes issues with
model performance.
Builds on #11690, which helps by warning the user when they are using
the default fallback. This PR will make that happen much less frequently
as an accidental consequence of disabling `remote_models`.
The idea is to have 2 family of agents.
1. Built-in that we packaged directly with Codex
2. User defined that are defined using the `agents_config.toml` file. It
can reference config files that will override the agent config. This
looks like this:
```
version = 1
[agents.explorer]
description = """Use `explorer` for all codebase questions.
Explorers are fast and authoritative.
Always prefer them over manual search or file reading.
Rules:
- Ask explorers first and precisely.
- Do not re-read or re-search code they cover.
- Trust explorer results without verification.
- Run explorers in parallel when useful.
- Reuse existing explorers for related questions."""
config_file = "explorer.toml"
```
### Description
#### Summary
Introduces the core plumbing required for structured network approvals
#### What changed
- Added structured network policy decision modeling in core.
- Added approval payload/context types needed for network approval
semantics.
- Wired shell/unified-exec runtime plumbing to consume structured
decisions.
- Updated related core error/event surfaces for structured handling.
- Updated protocol plumbing used by core approval flow.
- Included small CLI debug sandbox compatibility updates needed by this
layer.
#### Why
establishes the minimal backend foundation for network approvals without
yet changing high-level orchestration or TUI behavior.
#### Notes
- Behavior remains constrained by existing requirements/config gating.
- Follow-up PRs in the stack handle orchestration, UX, and app-server
integration.

## Why
We currently carry multiple permission-related concepts directly on
`Config` for shell/unified-exec behavior (`approval_policy`,
`sandbox_policy`, `network`, `shell_environment_policy`,
`windows_sandbox_mode`).
Consolidating these into one in-memory struct makes permission handling
easier to reason about and sets up the next step: supporting named
permission profiles (`[permissions.PROFILE_NAME]`) without changing
behavior now.
This change is mostly mechanical: it updates existing callsites to go
through `config.permissions`, but it does not yet refactor those
callsites to take a single `Permissions` value in places where multiple
permission fields are still threaded separately.
This PR intentionally **does not** change the on-disk `config.toml`
format yet and keeps compatibility with legacy config keys.
## What Changed
- Introduced `Permissions` in `core/src/config/mod.rs`.
- Added `Config::permissions` and moved effective runtime permission
fields under it:
- `approval_policy`
- `sandbox_policy`
- `network`
- `shell_environment_policy`
- `windows_sandbox_mode`
- Updated config loading/building so these effective values are still
derived from the same existing config inputs and constraints.
- Updated Windows sandbox helpers/resolution to read/write via
`permissions`.
- Threaded the new field through all permission consumers across core
runtime, app-server, CLI/exec, TUI, and sandbox summary code.
- Updated affected tests to reference `config.permissions.*`.
- Renamed the struct/field from
`EffectivePermissions`/`effective_permissions` to
`Permissions`/`permissions` and aligned variable naming accordingly.
## Verification
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server
-p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
- `cargo build -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p
codex-app-server -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` previously implied broad read access and could
not express a narrower read surface.
This change introduces an explicit read-access model so we can support
user-configurable read restrictions in follow-up work, while preserving
current behavior today.
It also ensures unsupported backends fail closed for restricted-read
policies instead of silently granting broader access than intended.
## What
- Added `ReadOnlyAccess` in protocol with:
- `Restricted { include_platform_defaults, readable_roots }`
- `FullAccess`
- Updated `SandboxPolicy` to carry read-access configuration:
- `ReadOnly { access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- `WorkspaceWrite { ..., read_only_access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- Preserved existing behavior by defaulting current construction paths
to `ReadOnlyAccess::FullAccess`.
- Threaded the new fields through sandbox policy consumers and call
sites across `core`, `tui`, `linux-sandbox`, `windows-sandbox`, and
related tests.
- Updated Seatbelt policy generation to honor restricted read roots by
emitting scoped read rules when full read access is not granted.
- Added fail-closed behavior on Linux and Windows backends when
restricted read access is requested but not yet implemented there
(`UnsupportedOperation`).
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema and TypeScript artifacts,
including `ReadOnlyAccess`.
## Compatibility / rollout
- Runtime behavior remains unchanged by default (`FullAccess`).
- API/schema changes are in place so future config wiring can enable
restricted read access without another policy-shape migration.
1. Move Windows Sandbox NUX to right after trust directory screen
2. Don't offer read-only as an option in Sandbox NUX.
Elevated/Legacy/Quit
3. Don't allow new untrusted directories. It's trust or quit
4. move experimental sandbox features to `[windows]
sandbox="elevated|unelevatd"`
5. Copy tweaks = elevated -> default, non-elevated -> non-admin
`codex-core` had accumulated config loading, requirements parsing,
constraint logic, and config-layer state handling in a single crate.
This change extracts that subsystem into `codex-config` to reduce
`codex-core` rebuild/test surface area and isolate future config work.
## What Changed
### Added `codex-config`
- Added new workspace crate `codex-rs/config` (`codex-config`).
- Added workspace/build wiring in:
- `codex-rs/Cargo.toml`
- `codex-rs/config/Cargo.toml`
- `codex-rs/config/BUILD.bazel`
- Updated lockfiles (`codex-rs/Cargo.lock`, `MODULE.bazel.lock`).
- Added `codex-core` -> `codex-config` dependency in
`codex-rs/core/Cargo.toml`.
### Moved config internals from `core` into `config`
Moved modules to `codex-rs/config/src/`:
- `core/src/config/constraint.rs` -> `config/src/constraint.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/cloud_requirements.rs` ->
`config/src/cloud_requirements.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/config_requirements.rs` ->
`config/src/config_requirements.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/fingerprint.rs` -> `config/src/fingerprint.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/merge.rs` -> `config/src/merge.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/overrides.rs` -> `config/src/overrides.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/requirements_exec_policy.rs` ->
`config/src/requirements_exec_policy.rs`
- `core/src/config_loader/state.rs` -> `config/src/state.rs`
`codex-config` now re-exports this surface from `config/src/lib.rs` at
the crate top level.
### Updated `core` to consume/re-export `codex-config`
- `core/src/config_loader/mod.rs` now imports/re-exports config-loader
types/functions from top-level `codex_config::*`.
- Local moved modules were removed from `core/src/config_loader/`.
- `core/src/config/mod.rs` now re-exports constraint types from
`codex_config`.
## Summary
- enable local-use defaults in network proxy settings: SOCKS5 on, SOCKS5
UDP on, upstream proxying on, and local binding on
- add a regression test that asserts the full
`NetworkProxySettings::default()` baseline
- Fixed managed listener reservation behavior.
Before: we always reserved a loopback SOCKS listener, even when
enable_socks5 = false.
Now: SOCKS listener is only reserved when SOCKS is enabled.
- Fixed /debug-config env output for SOCKS-disabled sessions.
ALL_PROXY now shows the HTTP proxy URL when SOCKS is disabled (instead
of incorrectly showing socks5h://...).
## Validation
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-network-proxy
- cargo clippy -p codex-network-proxy --all-targets
As of this PR, `SessionServices` retains a
`Option<StartedNetworkProxy>`, if appropriate.
Now the `network` field on `Config` is `Option<NetworkProxySpec>`
instead of `Option<NetworkProxy>`.
Over in `Session::new()`, we invoke `NetworkProxySpec::start_proxy()` to
create the `StartedNetworkProxy`, which is a new struct that retains the
`NetworkProxy` as well as the `NetworkProxyHandle`. (Note that `Drop` is
implemented for `NetworkProxyHandle` to ensure the proxies are shutdown
when it is dropped.)
The `NetworkProxy` from the `StartedNetworkProxy` is threaded through to
the appropriate places.

We support requirements on Unix, loading from
`/etc/codex/requirements.toml`. On MacOS, we also support MDM.
Now, on Windows, we'll load requirements from
`%ProgramData%\OpenAI\Codex\requirements.toml`
This PR adds the following field to `Config`:
```rust
pub network: Option<NetworkProxy>,
```
Though for the moment, it will always be initialized as `None` (this
will be addressed in a subsequent PR).
This PR does the work to thread `network` through to `execute_exec_env()`, `process_exec_tool_call()`, and `UnifiedExecRuntime.run()` to ensure it is available whenever we span a process.
This PR makes it possible to disable live web search via an enterprise
config even if the user is running in `--yolo` mode (though cached web
search will still be available). To do this, create
`/etc/codex/requirements.toml` as follows:
```toml
# "live" is not allowed; "disabled" is allowed even though not listed explicitly.
allowed_web_search_modes = ["cached"]
```
Or set `requirements_toml_base64` MDM as explained on
https://developers.openai.com/codex/security/#locations.
### Why
- Enforce admin/MDM/`requirements.toml` constraints on web-search
behavior, independent of user config and per-turn sandbox defaults.
- Ensure per-turn config resolution and review-mode overrides never
crash when constraints are present.
### What
- Add `allowed_web_search_modes` to requirements parsing and surface it
in app-server v2 `ConfigRequirements` (`allowedWebSearchModes`), with
fixtures updated.
- Define a requirements allowlist type (`WebSearchModeRequirement`) and
normalize semantics:
- `disabled` is always implicitly allowed (even if not listed).
- An empty list is treated as `["disabled"]`.
- Make `Config.web_search_mode` a `Constrained<WebSearchMode>` and apply
requirements via `ConstrainedWithSource<WebSearchMode>`.
- Update per-turn resolution (`resolve_web_search_mode_for_turn`) to:
- Prefer `Live → Cached → Disabled` when
`SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` is active (subject to requirements),
unless the user preference is explicitly `Disabled`.
- Otherwise, honor the user’s preferred mode, falling back to an allowed
mode when necessary.
- Update TUI `/debug-config` and app-server mapping to display
normalized `allowed_web_search_modes` (including implicit `disabled`).
- Fix web-search integration tests to assert cached behavior under
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` (since `DangerFullAccess` legitimately prefers
`live` when allowed).
Summary
- add a `required` flag for MCP servers everywhere config/CLI data is
touched so mandatory helpers can be round-tripped
- have `codex exec` and `codex app-server` thread start/resume fail fast
when required MCPs fail to initialize

Currently, if a config value is set that fails the requirements, we exit
Codex.
Now, instead of this, we print a warning and default to a
requirements-permitting value.
###### What
Remove special-casing that prevented auto-enabling `web_search` for
Azure model provider users. Addresses #10071, #10257.
###### Why
Azure fixed their responsesapi implementation; `web_search` is now
supported on models it wasn't before (like `gpt-5.1-codex-max`).
This request now works:
```
curl "$AZURE_API_ENDPOINT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $AZURE_API_KEY" -d '{
"model": "gpt-5.1-codex-max",
"tools": [
{ "type": "web_search" }
],
"tool_choice": "auto",
"input": "Find the sunrise time in Paris today and cite the source."
}'
```
###### Tests
Tested with above curl, removed Azure-specific tests.
## 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

Adds a top-level `log_dir` config key (defaults to `$CODEX_HOME/log`) so
one-off runs can redirect `codex-tui.log` via `-c`, e.g.:
codex -c log_dir=./.codex-log
Also resolves relative paths in CLI `-c/--config` overrides for
`AbsolutePathBuf` values against the effective cwd (when available).
Tests:
- cargo test -p codex-core
If we want to build `/debug-config`, we'll need to know the requirements
sources that supplied the values.
This PR adds those sources such that we can render them in the UI.
## Summary
This PR simplifies collaboration modes to the visible set `default |
plan`, while preserving backward compatibility for older partners that
may still send legacy mode
names.
Specifically:
- Renames the old Code behavior to **Default**.
- Keeps **Plan** as-is.
- Removes **Custom** mode behavior (fallbacks now resolve to Default).
- Keeps `PairProgramming` and `Execute` internally for compatibility
plumbing, while removing them from schema/API and UI visibility.
- Adds legacy input aliasing so older clients can still send old mode
names.
## What Changed
1. Mode enum and compatibility
- `ModeKind` now uses `Plan` + `Default` as active/public modes.
- `ModeKind::Default` deserialization accepts legacy values:
- `code`
- `pair_programming`
- `execute`
- `custom`
- `PairProgramming` and `Execute` variants remain in code but are hidden
from protocol/schema generation.
- `Custom` variant is removed; previous custom fallbacks now map to
`Default`.
2. Collaboration presets and templates
- Built-in presets now return only:
- `Plan`
- `Default`
- Template rename:
- `core/templates/collaboration_mode/code.md` -> `default.md`
- `execute.md` and `pair_programming.md` remain on disk but are not
surfaced in visible preset lists.
3. TUI updates
- Updated user-facing naming and prompts from “Code” to “Default”.
- Updated mode-cycle and indicator behavior to reflect only visible
`Plan` and `Default`.
- Updated corresponding tests and snapshots.
4. request_user_input behavior
- `request_user_input` remains allowed only in `Plan` mode.
- Rejection messaging now consistently treats non-plan modes as
`Default`.
5. Schemas
- Regenerated config and app-server schemas.
- Public schema types now advertise mode values as:
- `plan`
- `default`
## Backward Compatibility Notes
- Incoming legacy mode names (`code`, `pair_programming`, `execute`,
`custom`) are accepted and coerced to `default`.
- Outgoing/public schema surfaces intentionally expose only `plan |
default`.
- This allows tolerant ingestion of older partner payloads while
standardizing new integrations on the reduced mode set.

Summary
- require `CODEX_HOME` to point to an existing directory before
canonicalizing and surface clear errors otherwise
- share the same helper logic in both `core` and `rmcp-client` and add
unit tests that cover missing, non-directory, valid, and default paths
This addresses #9222
