## Summary
- Make typed slash commands become text elements when the user hits
space, including paste‑burst spaces.
- Enable `/plan` to accept inline args and submit them in plan mode,
mirroring `/review` behavior and blocking submission while a task is
running.
- Preserve text elements/attachments for slash commands that take args.

## Changes
- Add safe helper to insert element ranges in the textarea.
- Extend command‑with‑args pipeline to carry text elements and reuse
submission prep.
- Update `/plan` dispatch to switch to plan mode then submit prompt +
elements.
- Document new composer behavior and add tests.
## Notes
- `/plan` is blocked during active tasks (same as `/review`).
- Slash‑command elementization recognizes built‑ins and `/prompts:`
custom commands only.

Session renaming:
- `/rename my_session`
- `/rename` without arg and passing an argument in `customViewPrompt`
- AppExitInfo shows resume hint using the session name if set instead of
uuid, defaults to uuid if not set
- Names are stored in `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl`
Session resuming:
- codex resume <name> lookup for `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl` first entry
matching the name and resumes the session

## Summary
Adds a simple `/plan` slash command in the TUI that switches the active
collaboration mode to Plan mode. The command is only available when the
`collaboration_modes` feature is enabled.
## Changes
- Add `plan_mask` helper in `codex-rs/tui/src/collaboration_modes.rs`
- Add `SlashCommand::Plan` metadata in
`codex-rs/tui/src/slash_command.rs`
- Implement and hard-gate `/plan` dispatch in
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`
- Hide `/plan` when collaboration modes are disabled in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/slash_commands.rs`
- Update command popup tests in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/command_popup.rs`
- Add a focused unit test for `/plan` in
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`
## Behavior notes
- `/plan` is now a no-op if `Feature::CollaborationModes` is disabled.
- When enabled, `/plan` switches directly to Plan mode without opening
the picker.
## Codex author
`codex resume 019c05da-d7c3-7322-ae2c-3ca38d0ef702`
- [x] Support `/apps` slash command to browse the apps in tui.
- [x] Support inserting apps to prompt using `$`.
- [x] Lots of simplification/renaming from connectors to apps.
## Summary
Sets up an explicit Feature flag for `/personality`, so users can now
opt in to it via `/experimental`. #10114 also updates the config
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally
We've recently standardized a [feature maturity
model](https://developers.openai.com/codex/feature-maturity) that we're
using in our docs and support forums to communicate expectations to
users. This PR updates the internal stage names and descriptions to
match.
This change involves a simple internal rename and updates to a few
user-visible strings. No functional change.
## Summary
Adds /personality selector in the TUI, which leverages the new core
interface in #9644
Notes:
- We are doing some of our own state management for model_info loading
here, but not sure if that's ideal. open to opinions on simpler
approach, but would like to avoid blocking on a larger refactor
- Right now, the `/personality` selector just hides when the model
doesn't support it. we can update this behavior down the line
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally
- [x] Added snapshot tests
## Summary
Adds the `/permissions` command, with a (usually) shorter set of
permissions. `/approvals` still exists, for backwards compatibility.

## Testing
- [x] updated unit tests
- [x] Tested locally
Implemented /fork to fork the current session directly (no picker),
handling it via a new ForkCurrentSession app event in both tui and tui2.
Updated slash command descriptions/tooltips and adjusted the fork tests
accordingly. Removed the unused in-session fork picker event.
Elevated Sandbox NUX:
* prompt for elevated sandbox setup when agent mode is selected (via
/approvals or at startup)
* prompt for degraded sandbox if elevated setup is declined or fails
* introduce /elevate-sandbox command to upgrade from degraded
experience.
See snapshots for view of edge cases
This is still named `UnifiedExecSessions` for consistency across the
code but should be renamed to `BackgroundTerminals` in a follow-up
Example:

/>
## Summary
- add the `/exit` slash command alongside `/quit` and reuse shared exit
handling
- refactor the chat widget to funnel quit, exit, logout, and shutdown
flows through a common `request_exit` helper
- add focused unit tests that confirm both `/quit` and `/exit` send an
`ExitRequest`
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

## Summary
- add a debug-only `/rollout` slash command that prints the rollout file
path or reports when none is known
- surface the new command in the slash command metadata and cover it
with unit tests

## Summary
Introduces a “ghost commit” workflow that snapshots the tree without
touching refs.
1. git commit-tree writes an unreferenced commit object from the current
index, optionally pointing to the current HEAD as its parent.
2. We then stash that commit id and use git restore --source <ghost> to
roll the worktree (and index) back to the recorded snapshot later on.
## Details
- Ghost commits live only as loose objects—we never update branches or
tags—so the repo history stays untouched while still giving us a full
tree snapshot.
- Force-included paths let us stage otherwise ignored files before
capturing the tree.
- Restoration rehydrates both tracked and force-included files while
leaving untracked/ignored files alone.
Adds the following options:
1. Review current changes
2. Review a specific commit
3. Review against a base branch (PR style)
4. Custom instructions

\+ Adds the following UI helpers:
1. Makes list selection searchable
2. Adds navigation to the bottom pane, so you could add a stack of
popups
3. Basic custom prompt view
- For selectable options, use sentences starting in lowercase and not
ending with periods. To be honest I don't love this style, but better to
be consistent for now.
- Tweak some other strings.
- Put in more compelling suggestions on launch. Excited to put `/mcp` in
there next.
## Summary
Adds a `/mcp` command to list active tools. We can extend this command
to allow configuration of MCP tools, but for now a simple list command
will help debug if your config.toml and your tools are working as
expected.
## Summary
- support `codex logout` via new subcommand and helper that removes the
stored `auth.json`
- expose a `logout` function in `codex-login` and test it
- add `/logout` slash command in the TUI; command list is filtered when
not logged in and the handler deletes `auth.json` then exits
## Testing
- `just fix` *(fails: failed to get `diffy` from crates.io)*
- `cargo test --all-features` *(fails: failed to get `diffy` from
crates.io)*

- Updates the launch screen to:
```
>_ You are using OpenAI Codex in ~/code/codex/codex-rs
Try one of the following commands to get started:
1. /init - Create an AGENTS.md file with instructions for Codex
2. /status - Show current session configuration and token usage
3. /compact - Compact the chat history
4. /new - Start a new chat
```
- These aren't the perfect commands, but as more land soon we can
update.
- We should also add logic later to make /init only show when there's no
existing AGENTS.md.
- Majorly need to iterate on copy.

/>
- Added a `/status` command, which will be useful when we update the
home screen to print less status.
- Moved `create_config_summary_entries` to common since it's used in a
few places.
- Noticed we inconsistently had periods in slash command descriptions
and just removed them everywhere.
- Noticed the diff description was overflowing so made it shorter.
- Add operation to summarize the context so far.
- The operation runs a compact task that summarizes the context.
- The operation clear the previous context to free the context window
- The operation didn't use `run_task` to avoid corrupting the session
- Add /compact in the tui

Simplify and improve many UI elements.
* Remove all-around borders in most places. These interact badly with
terminal resizing and look heavy. Prefer left-side-only borders.
* Make the viewport adjust to the size of its contents.
* <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>@</kbd> autocomplete boxes appear below the
prompt, instead of above it.
* Restyle the keyboard shortcut hints & move them to the left.
* Restyle the approval dialog.
* Use synchronized rendering to avoid flashing during rerenders.

This update replaces the previous ratatui history widget with an
append-only log so that the terminal can handle text selection and
scrolling. It also disables streaming responses, which we'll do our best
to bring back in a later PR. It also adds a small summary of token use
after the TUI exits.
Adds support for a `/diff` command comparable to the one available in
the TypeScript CLI.

While here, changed the `SlashCommand` enum so the declared variant
order is the order the commands appear in the popup menu. This way,
`/toggle-mouse-mode` is listed last, as it is the least likely to be
used.
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1253.
I noticed that `/clear` wasn't fully clearing chat history; it would
clear the chat history widgets _in the UI_, but the LLM still had access
to information from previous messages.
This PR renames `/clear` to `/new` for clarity as per Michael's
suggestion, resetting `app_state` to a fresh `ChatWidget`.
