Add feature-gated freeform js_repl core runtime (#10674 )

## Summary

This PR adds an **experimental, feature-gated `js_repl` core runtime**
so models can execute JavaScript in a persistent REPL context across
tool calls.

The implementation integrates with existing feature gating, tool
registration, prompt composition, config/schema docs, and tests.

## What changed

- Added new experimental feature flag: `features.js_repl`.
- Added freeform `js_repl` tool and companion `js_repl_reset` tool.
- Gated tool availability behind `Feature::JsRepl`.
- Added conditional prompt-section injection for JS REPL instructions
via marker-based prompt processing.
- Implemented JS REPL handlers, including freeform parsing and pragma
support (timeout/reset controls).
- Added runtime resolution order for Node:
  1. `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH`
  2. `js_repl_node_path` in config
  3. `PATH`
- Added JS runtime assets/version files and updated docs/schema.

## Why

This enables richer agent workflows that require incremental JavaScript
execution with preserved state, while keeping rollout safe behind an
explicit feature flag.

## Testing

Coverage includes:

- Feature-flag gating behavior for tool exposure.
- Freeform parser/pragma handling edge cases.
- Runtime behavior (state persistence across calls and top-level `await`
support).

## Usage

```toml
[features]
js_repl = true
```

Optional runtime override:

- `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH`, or
- `js_repl_node_path` in config.

Cache cloud requirements (#11305 )

We're loading these from the web on every startup. This puts them in a
local file with a 1hr TTL.

We sign the downloaded requirements with a key compiled into the Codex
CLI to prevent unsophisticated tampering (determined circumvention is
outside of our threat model: after all, one could just compile Codex
without any of these checks).

If any of the following are true, we ignore the local cache and re-fetch
from Cloud:
* The signature is invalid for the payload (== requirements, sign time,
ttl, user identity)
* The identity does not match the auth'd user's identity
* The TTL has expired
* We cannot parse requirements.toml from the payload

feat: split codex-common into smaller utils crates (#11422 )

We are removing feature-gated shared crates from the `codex-rs`
workspace. `codex-common` grouped several unrelated utilities behind
`[features]`, which made dependency boundaries harder to reason about
and worked against the ongoing effort to eliminate feature flags from
workspace crates.

Splitting these utilities into dedicated crates under `utils/` aligns
this area with existing workspace structure and keeps each dependency
explicit at the crate boundary.

## What changed

- Removed `codex-rs/common` (`codex-common`) from workspace members and
workspace dependencies.
- Added six new utility crates under `codex-rs/utils/`:
  - `codex-utils-cli`
  - `codex-utils-elapsed`
  - `codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
  - `codex-utils-approval-presets`
  - `codex-utils-oss`
  - `codex-utils-fuzzy-match`
- Migrated the corresponding modules out of `codex-common` into these
crates (with tests), and added matching `BUILD.bazel` targets.
- Updated direct consumers to use the new crates instead of
`codex-common`:
  - `codex-rs/cli`
  - `codex-rs/tui`
  - `codex-rs/exec`
  - `codex-rs/app-server`
  - `codex-rs/mcp-server`
  - `codex-rs/chatgpt`
  - `codex-rs/cloud-tasks`
- Updated workspace lockfile entries to reflect the new dependency graph
and removal of `codex-common`.

Another round of improvements for config error messages (#9746 )

In a [recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9182), I made some
improvements to config error messages so errors didn't leave app server
clients in a dead state. This is a follow-on PR to make these error
messages more readable and actionable for both TUI and GUI users. For
example, see #9668 where the user was understandably confused about the
source of the problem and how to fix it.

The improved error message:
1. Clearly identifies the config file where the error was found (which
is more important now that we support layered configs)
2. Provides a line and column number of the error
3. Displays the line where the error occurred and underlines it

For example, if my `config.toml` includes the following:
```toml
[features]
collaboration_modes = "true"
```

Here's the current CLI error message:
```
Error loading config.toml: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean in `features`
```

And here's the improved message:
```
Error loading config.toml:
/Users/etraut/.codex/config.toml:43:23: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean
   |
43 | collaboration_modes = "true"
   |                       ^^^^^^
```

The bulk of the new logic is contained within a new module
`config_loader/diagnostics.rs` that is responsible for calculating the
text range for a given toml path (which is more involved than I would
have expected).

In addition, this PR adds the file name and text range to the
`ConfigWarningNotification` app server struct. This allows GUI clients
to present the user with a better error message and an optional link to
open the errant config file. This was a suggestion from @.bolinfest when
he reviewed my previous PR.

fix(exec): skip git repo check when --yolo flag is used (#9590 )

## Summary

Fixes #7522

The `--yolo` (`--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`) flag is
documented to skip all confirmation prompts and execute commands without
sandboxing, intended solely for running in environments that are
externally sandboxed. However, it was not bypassing the trusted
directory (git repo) check, requiring users to also specify
`--skip-git-repo-check`.

This change makes `--yolo` also skip the git repo check, matching the
documented behavior and user expectations.

## Changes

- Modified `codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs` to check for
`dangerously_bypass_approvals_and_sandbox` flag in addition to
`skip_git_repo_check` when determining whether to skip the git repo
check

## Testing

- Verified the code compiles with `cargo check -p codex-exec`
- Ran existing tests with `cargo test -p codex-exec` (34 passed, 8
integration tests failed due to unrelated API connectivity issues)

feat(app-server) Expose personality (#9674 )

### Motivation
Exposes a per-thread / per-turn `personality` override in the v2
app-server API so clients can influence model communication style at
thread/turn start. Ensures the override is passed into the session
configuration resolution so it becomes effective for subsequent turns
and headless runners.

### Testing
- [x] Add an integration-style test
`turn_start_accepts_personality_override_v2` in
`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs` that verifies a
`/personality` override results in a developer update message containing
`<personality_spec>` in the outbound model request.

Persist text elements through TUI input and history (#9393 )

Continuation of breaking up this PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116

## Summary
- Thread user text element ranges through TUI/TUI2 input, submission,
queueing, and history so placeholders survive resume/edit flows.
- Preserve local image attachments alongside text elements and rehydrate
placeholders when restoring drafts.
- Keep model-facing content shapes clean by attaching UI metadata only
to user input/events (no API content changes).

## Key Changes
- TUI/TUI2 composer now captures text element ranges, trims them with
text edits, and restores them when submission is suppressed.
- User history cells render styled spans for text elements and keep
local image paths for future rehydration.
- Initial chat widget bootstraps accept empty `initial_text_elements` to
keep initialization uniform.
- Protocol/core helpers updated to tolerate the new InputText field
shape without changing payloads sent to the API.

feat(app-server, core): return threads by created_at or updated_at (#9247 )

Add support for returning threads by either `created_at` OR `updated_at`
descending. Previously core always returned threads ordered by
`created_at`.

This PR:
- updates core to be able to list threads by `updated_at` OR
`created_at` descending based on what the caller wants
- also update `thread/list` in app-server to expose this (default to
`created_at` if not specified)

All existing codepaths (app-server, TUI) still default to `created_at`,
so no behavior change is expected with this PR.

**Implementation**
To sort by `updated_at` is a bit nontrivial (whereas `created_at` is
easy due to the way we structure the folders and filenames on disk,
which are all based on `created_at`).

The most naive way to do this without introducing a cache file or sqlite
DB (which we have to implement/maintain) is to scan files in reverse
`created_at` order on disk, and look at the file's mtime (last modified
timestamp according to the filesystem) until we reach `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
(currently set to 10,000). Then, we can return the most recent N
threads.

Based on some quick and dirty benchmarking on my machine with ~1000
rollout files, calling `thread/list` with limit 50, the `updated_at`
path is slower as expected due to all the I/O:
- updated-at: average 103.10 ms
- created-at: average 41.10 ms

Those absolute numbers aren't a big deal IMO, but we can certainly
optimize this in a followup if needed by introducing more state stored
on disk.

**Caveat**
There's also a limitation in that any files older than `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
will be excluded, which means if a user continues a REALLY old thread,
it's possible to not be included. In practice that should not be too big
of an issue.

If a user makes...
- 1000 rollouts/day → threads older than 10 days won't show up
- 100 rollouts/day → ~100 days

If this becomes a problem for some reason, even more motivation to
implement an updated_at cache.

Improve handling of config and rules errors for app server clients (#9182 )

When an invalid config.toml key or value is detected, the CLI currently
just quits. This leaves the VSCE in a dead state.

This PR changes the behavior to not quit and bubble up the config error
to users to make it actionable. It also surfaces errors related to
"rules" parsing.

This allows us to surface these errors to users in the VSCE, like this:

ollama: default to Responses API for built-ins (#8798 )

This is an alternate PR to solving the same problem as
<https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8227>.

In this PR, when Ollama is used via `--oss` (or via `model_provider =
"ollama"`), we default it to use the Responses format. At runtime, we do
an Ollama version check, and if the version is older than when Responses
support was added to Ollama, we print out a warning.

Because there's no way of configuring the wire api for a built-in
provider, we temporarily add a new `oss_provider`/`model_provider`
called `"ollama-chat"` that will force the chat format.

Once the `"chat"` format is fully removed (see
<https://github.com/openai/codex/discussions/7782>), `ollama-chat` can
be removed as well

fix(app-server): set originator header from initialize JSON-RPC request (#8873 )

**Motivation**
The `originator` header is important for codex-backend’s Responses API
proxy because it identifies the real end client (codex cli, codex vscode
extension, codex exec, future IDEs) and is used to categorize requests
by client for our enterprise compliance API.

Today the `originator` header is set by either:
- the `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var (our VSCode extension
does this)
- calling `set_default_originator()` which sets a global immutable
singleton (`codex exec` does this)

For `codex app-server`, we want the `initialize` JSON-RPC request to set
that header because it is a natural place to do so. Example:
```json
{
  "method": "initialize",
  "id": 0,
  "params": {
    "clientInfo": {
      "name": "codex_vscode",
      "title": "Codex VS Code Extension",
      "version": "0.1.0"
    }
  }
}
```
and when app-server receives that request, it can call
`set_default_originator()`. This is a much more natural interface than
asking third party developers to set an env var.

One hiccup is that `originator()` reads the global singleton and locks
in the value, preventing a later `set_default_originator()` call from
setting it. This would be fine but is brittle, since any codepath that
calls `originator()` before app-server can process an `initialize`
JSON-RPC call would prevent app-server from setting it. This was
actually the case with OTEL initialization which runs on boot, but I
also saw this behavior in certain tests.

Instead, what we now do is:
- [unchanged] If `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var is set,
`originator()` would return that value and `set_default_originator()`
with some other value does NOT override it.
- [new] If no env var is set, `originator()` would return the default
value which is `codex_cli_rs` UNTIL `set_default_originator()` is called
once, in which case it is set to the new value and becomes immutable.
Later calls to `set_default_originator()` returns
`SetOriginatorError::AlreadyInitialized`.

**Other notes**
- I updated `codex_core::otel_init::build_provider` to accepts a service
name override, and app-server sends a hardcoded `codex_app_server`
service name to distinguish it from `codex_cli_rs` used by default (e.g.
TUI).

**Next steps**
- Update VSCE to set the proper value for `clientInfo.name` on
`initialize` and drop the `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var.
- Delete support for `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` in codex-rs.

Immutable CodexAuth (#8857 )

Historically we started with a CodexAuth that knew how to refresh it's
own tokens and then added AuthManager that did a different kind of
refresh (re-reading from disk).

I don't think it makes sense for both `CodexAuth` and `AuthManager` to
be mutable and contain behaviors.

Move all refresh logic into `AuthManager` and keep `CodexAuth` as a data
object.

Allow global exec flags after resume and fix CI codex build/timeout (#8440 )

**Motivation**
- Bring `codex exec resume` to parity with top‑level flags so global
options (git check bypass, json, model, sandbox toggles) work after the
subcommand, including when outside a git repo.

**Description**
- Exec CLI: mark `--skip-git-repo-check`, `--json`, `--model`,
`--full-auto`, and `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` as
global so they’re accepted after `resume`.
- Tests: add `exec_resume_accepts_global_flags_after_subcommand` to
verify those flags work when passed after `resume`.

**Testing**
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec` (pass; ran with elevated perms to allow
network/port binds)
- Manual: exercised `codex exec resume` with global flags after the
subcommand to confirm behavior.

chore: enusre the logic that creates ConfigLayerStack has access to cwd (#8353 )

`load_config_layers_state()` should load config from a
`.codex/config.toml` in any folder between the `cwd` for a thread and
the project root. Though in order to do that,
`load_config_layers_state()` needs to know what the `cwd` is, so this PR
does the work to thread the `cwd` through for existing callsites.

A notable exception is the `/config` endpoint in app server for which a
`cwd` is not guaranteed to be associated with the query, so the `cwd`
param is `Option<AbsolutePathBuf>` to account for this case.

The logic to make use of the `cwd` will be done in a follow-up PR.

feat: support allowed_sandbox_modes in requirements.toml (#8298 )

This adds support for `allowed_sandbox_modes` in `requirements.toml` and
provides legacy support for constraining sandbox modes in

in `ConfigRequirements` and applied to `Config` such that constraints
are enforced throughout the harness.

Note that, because `managed_config.toml` is deprecated, we do not add
support for the new `external-sandbox` variant recently introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8290. As noted, that variant is not
supported in `config.toml` today, but can be configured programmatically
via app server.

https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/774bd9e432fa2e0f4e059e97648cf92216912e19/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L334-L344

This has now been consolidated in
`load_config_as_toml_with_cli_overrides()`.

Further, I noticed that `Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` took two
similar arguments:


https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/774bd9e432fa2e0f4e059e97648cf92216912e19/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L308-L311

The difference between `cli_overrides` and `overrides` was not
immediately obvious to me. At first glance, it appears that one should
be able to be expressed in terms of the other, but it turns out that
some fields of `ConfigOverrides` (such as `cwd` and
`codex_linux_sandbox_exe`) are, by design, not configurable via a
`.toml` file or a command-line `--config` flag.

That said, I discovered that many callers of
`Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` were passing
`ConfigOverrides::default()` for `overrides`, so I created two separate
methods:

- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides(cli_overrides: Vec<(String,
TomlValue)>)`
- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides_and_harness_overrides(cli_overrides:
Vec<(String, TomlValue)>, harness_overrides: ConfigOverrides)`

The latter has a long name, as it is _not_ what should be used in the
common case, so the extra typing is designed to draw attention to this
fact. I tried to update the existing callsites to use the shorter name,
where possible.

Further, in the cases where `ConfigOverrides` is used, usually only a
limited subset of fields are actually set, so I updated the declarations
to leverage `..Default::default()` where possible.

feat: Constrain values for approval_policy (#7778 )

Constrain `approval_policy` through new `admin_policy` config.

This PR will:
1. Add a `admin_policy` section to config, with a single field (for now)
`allowed_approval_policies`. This list constrains the set of
user-settable `approval_policy`s.
2. Introduce a new `Constrained<T>` type, which combines a current value
and a validator function. The validator function ensures disallowed
values are not set.
3. Change the type of `approval_policy` on `Config` and
`SessionConfiguration` from `AskForApproval` to
`Constrained<AskForApproval>`. The validator function is set by the
values passed into `allowed_approval_policies`.
4. `GenericDisplayRow`: add a `disabled_reason: Option<String>`. When
set, it disables selection of the value and indicates as such in the
menu. This also makes it unselectable with arrow keys or numbers. This
is used in the `/approvals` menu.

Follow ups are:
1. Do the same thing to `sandbox_policy`.
2. Propagate the allowed set of values through app-server for the
extension (though already this should prevent app-server from setting
this values, it's just that we want to disable UI elements that are
unsettable).

Happy to split this PR up if you prefer, into the logical numbered areas
above. Especially if there are parts we want to gavel on separately
(e.g. admin_policy).

make model optional in config (#7769 )

- Make Config.model optional and centralize default-selection logic in
ModelsManager, including a default_model helper (with
codex-auto-balanced when available) so sessions now carry an explicit
chosen model separate from the base config.
- Resolve `model` once in `core` and `tui` from config. Then store the
state of it on other structs.
- Move refreshing models to be before resolving the default model

codex-exec: allow resume --last to read prompt #6717 (#6719 )

### Description

- codex exec --json resume --last "<prompt>" bailed out because clap
treated the prompt as SESSION_ID. I removed the conflicts_with flag and
reinterpret that positional as a prompt when
--last is set, so the flow now keeps working in JSON mode.
(codex-rs/exec/src/cli.rs:84-104, codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs:75-130)
- Added a regression test that exercises resume --last in JSON mode to
ensure the prompt is accepted and the rollout file is updated.
(codex-rs/exec/tests/suite/resume.rs:126-178)

### Testing

  - just fmt
  - cargo test -p codex-exec
  - just fix -p codex-exec
  - cargo test -p codex-exec

LM Studio OSS Support (#2312 )

## Overview

Adds LM Studio OSS support. Closes #1883


### Changes
This PR enhances the behavior of `--oss` flag to support LM Studio as a
provider. Additionally, it introduces a new flag`--local-provider` which
can take in `lmstudio` or `ollama` as values if the user wants to
explicitly choose which one to use.

If no provider is specified `codex --oss` will auto-select the provider
based on whichever is running.

#### Additional enhancements 
The default can be set using `oss-provider` in config like:

```
oss_provider = "lmstudio"
```

For non-interactive users, they will need to either provide the provider
as an arg or have it in their `config.toml`

### Notes
For best performance, [set the default context
length](https://lmstudio.ai/docs/app/advanced/per-model) for gpt-oss to
the maximum your machine can support

[Hygiene] Remove include_view_image_tool config (#5976 )

There's still some debate about whether we want to expose
`tools.view_image` or `feature.view_image` so those are left unchanged
for now, but this old `include_view_image_tool` config is good-to-go.
Also updated the doc to reflect that `view_image` tool is now by default
true.
