• codex-rs: fix thread resume rejoin semantics (#11756)

  ## Summary
  - always rejoin an in-memory running thread on `thread/resume`, even
  when overrides are present
  - reject `thread/resume` when `history` is provided for a running thread
  - reject `thread/resume` when `path` mismatches the running thread
  rollout path
  - warn (but do not fail) on override mismatches for running threads
  - add more `thread_resume` integration tests and fixes; including
  restart-based resume-with-overrides coverage
  
  ## Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all thread_resume`
  - manual test with app-server-test-client
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11755
  - manual test both stdio and websocket in app

• feat: make sandbox read access configurable with ReadOnlyAccess (#11387)

  `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.

• fix: remove errant Cargo.lock files (#11526)

  These leaked into the repo:
  
  - #4905 `codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs/Cargo.lock`
  - #5391 `codex-rs/app-server-test-client/Cargo.lock`
  
  Note that these affect cache keys such as:
  
  
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/9722567a80b4bac81b74f679828747031fd95fa0/.github/workflows/rust-release.yml#L154
  
  so it seems best to remove them.

• chore: persist turn_id in rollout session and make turn_id uuid based (#11246)

  Problem:
  1. turn id is constructed in-memory;
  2. on resuming threads, turn_id might not be unique;
  3. client cannot no the boundary of a turn from rollout files easily.
  
  This PR does three things:
  1. persist `task_started` and `task_complete` events;
  1. persist `turn_id` in rollout turn events;
  5. generate turn_id as unique uuids instead of incrementing it in
  memory.
  
  This helps us resolve the issue of clients wanting to have unique turn
  ids for resuming a thread, and knowing the boundry of each turn in
  rollout files.
  
  example debug logs
  ```
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746876Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=8 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a07-d809-74c3-bc4b-fd9618487b4b", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-24", content: [Text { text: "hi", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-25", text: "Hi. I’m in the workspace with your current changes loaded and ready. Send the next task and I’ll execute it end-to-end." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746888Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=9 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a18-1004-76c0-a0fb-a77610f6a9b8", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-26", content: [Text { text: "hello", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-27", text: "Hello. Ready for the next change in `codex-rs`; I can continue from the current in-progress diff or start a new task." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  2026-02-11T00:32:10.746899Z DEBUG codex_app_server_protocol::protocol::thread_history: built turn from rollout items turn_index=10 turn=Turn { id: "019c4a19-41f0-7db0-ad78-74f1503baeb8", items: [UserMessage { id: "item-28", content: [Text { text: "hello", text_elements: [] }] }, AgentMessage { id: "item-29", text: "Hello. Send the specific change you want in `codex-rs`, and I’ll implement it and run the required checks." }], status: Completed, error: None }
  ```
  
  backward compatibility:
  if you try to resume an old session without task_started and
  task_complete event populated, the following happens:
  - If you resume and do nothing: those reconstructed historical IDs can
  differ next time you resume.
  - If you resume and send a new turn: the new turn gets a fresh UUID from
  live submission flow and is persisted, so that new turn’s ID is stable
  on later resumes.
  I think this behavior is fine, because we only care about deterministic
  turn id once a turn is triggered.

• feat: replace custom mcp-types crate with equivalents from rmcp (#10349)

  We started working with MCP in Codex before
  https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
  MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
  
  
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8b95d3e082376f4cb23e92641705a22afb28a9da/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
  
  Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
  types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
  custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
  is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
  whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
  is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
  types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
  
  Note this PR results in a number of changes to
  `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
  during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
  backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
  
  ```diff
  - export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
  + export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
  ```
  
  so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
  Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
  
  ```typescript
  export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
  ```
  
  so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
  great concern.
  
  Similarly, we have the following change in
  `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
  
  ```
  - export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
  + export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
  ```
  
  so:
  
  - `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  - `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  - `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
  
  and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`

• feat: experimental flags (#10231)

  ## Problem being solved
  - We need a single, reliable way to mark app-server API surface as
  experimental so that:
    1. the runtime can reject experimental usage unless the client opts in
  2. generated TS/JSON schemas can exclude experimental methods/fields for
  stable clients.
  
  Right now that’s easy to drift or miss when done ad-hoc.
  
  ## How to declare experimental methods and fields
  - **Experimental method**: add `#[experimental("method/name")]` to the
  `ClientRequest` variant in `client_request_definitions!`.
  - **Experimental field**: on the params struct, derive `ExperimentalApi`
  and annotate the field with `#[experimental("method/name.field")]` + set
  `inspect_params: true` for the method variant so
  `ClientRequest::experimental_reason()` inspects params for experimental
  fields.
  
  ## How the macro solves it
  - The new derive macro lives in
  `codex-rs/codex-experimental-api-macros/src/lib.rs` and is used via
  `#[derive(ExperimentalApi)]` plus `#[experimental("reason")]`
  attributes.
  - **Structs**:
  - Generates `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason(&self)` that checks
  only annotated fields.
    - The “presence” check is type-aware:
      - `Option<T>`: `is_some_and(...)` recursively checks inner.
      - `Vec`/`HashMap`/`BTreeMap`: must be non-empty.
      - `bool`: must be `true`.
      - Other types: considered present (returns `true`).
  - Registers each experimental field in an `inventory` with `(type_name,
  serialized field name, reason)` and exposes `EXPERIMENTAL_FIELDS` for
  that type. Field names are converted from `snake_case` to `camelCase`
  for schema/TS filtering.
  - **Enums**:
  - Generates an exhaustive `match` returning `Some(reason)` for annotated
  variants and `None` otherwise (no wildcard arm).
  - **Wiring**:
  - Runtime gating uses `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason()` in
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` to reject requests unless
  `InitializeParams.capabilities.experimental_api == true`.
  - Schema/TS export filters use the inventory list and
  `EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_METHODS` from `client_request_definitions!` to
  strip experimental methods/fields when `experimental_api` is false.

• Chore: add cmd related info to exec approval request (#9659)

  ### Summary
  We now rely purely on `item/commandExecution/requestApproval` item to
  render pending approval in VSCE and app. With v2 approach, it does not
  include the actual cmd that it is attempting and therefore we can only
  use `proposedExecpolicyAmendment` to render which can be incomplete.
  
  ### Reproduce
  * Add `prefix_rule(pattern=["echo"], decision="prompt")` to your
  `~/.codex/rules.default.rules`.
  * Ask to `Run  echo "approval-test" please` in VSCE or app. 
  * The pending approval protal does show up but with no content
  
  #### Example screenshot

  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/75644837-21f1-40f8-8b02-858d361ff817"
  />
  
  #### Sample output
  ```
    {"method":"item/commandExecution/requestApproval","id":0,"params":{
      "threadId":"019be439-5a90-7600-a7ea-2d2dcc50302a",
      "turnId":"0",
      "itemId":"call_usgnQ4qEX5U9roNdjT7fPzhb",
      "reason":"`/bin/zsh -lc 'echo \"testing\"'` requires approval by policy",
      "proposedExecpolicyAmendment":null
    }}
  
  ```
  
  ### Fix
  Inlude `command` string, `cwd` and `command_actions` in
  `CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams` so that consumers can display
  the correct command instead of relying on exec policy output.

• 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.

• Add text element metadata to protocol, app server, and core (#9331)

  The second part of breaking up PR
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
  
  Summary:
  
  - Add `TextElement` / `ByteRange` to protocol user inputs and user
  message events with defaults.
  - Thread `text_elements` through app-server v1/v2 request handling and
  history rebuild.
  - Preserve UI metadata only in user input/events (not `ContentItem`)
  while keeping local image attachments in user events for rehydration.
  
  Details:
  
  - Protocol: `UserInput::Text` carries `text_elements`;
  `UserMessageEvent` carries `text_elements` + `local_images`.
  Serialization includes empty vectors for backward compatibility.
  - app-server-protocol: v1 defines `V1TextElement` / `V1ByteRange` in
  camelCase with conversions; v2 uses its own camelCase wrapper.
  - app-server: v1/v2 input mapping includes `text_elements`; thread
  history rebuilds include them.
  - Core: user event emission preserves UI metadata while model history
  stays clean; history replay round-trips the metadata.

• feat: add support for building with Bazel (#8875)

  This PR configures Codex CLI so it can be built with
  [Bazel](https://bazel.build) in addition to Cargo. The `.bazelrc`
  includes configuration so that remote builds can be done using
  [BuildBuddy](https://www.buildbuddy.io).
  
  If you are familiar with Bazel, things should work as you expect, e.g.,
  run `bazel test //... --keep-going` to run all the tests in the repo,
  but we have also added some new aliases in the `justfile` for
  convenience:
  
  - `just bazel-test` to run tests locally
  - `just bazel-remote-test` to run tests remotely (currently, the remote
  build is for x86_64 Linux regardless of your host platform). Note we are
  currently seeing the following test failures in the remote build, so we
  still need to figure out what is happening here:
  
  ```
  failures:
      suite::compact::manual_compact_twice_preserves_latest_user_messages
      suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history
      suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_and_fork_preserve_model_history_view
  ```
  
  - `just build-for-release` to build release binaries for all
  platforms/architectures remotely
  
  To setup remote execution:
  - [Create a buildbuddy account](https://app.buildbuddy.io/) (OpenAI
  employees should also request org access at
  https://openai.buildbuddy.io/join/ with their `@openai.com` email
  address.)
  - [Copy your API key](https://app.buildbuddy.io/docs/setup/) to
  `~/.bazelrc` (add the line `build
  --remote_header=x-buildbuddy-api-key=YOUR_KEY`)
  - Use `--config=remote` in your `bazel` invocations (or add `common
  --config=remote` to your `~/.bazelrc`, or use the `just` commands)
  
  ## CI
  
  In terms of CI, this PR introduces `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`, which
  uses Bazel to run the tests _locally_ on Mac and Linux GitHub runners
  (we are working on supporting Windows, but that is not ready yet). Note
  that the failures we are seeing in `just bazel-remote-test` do not occur
  on these GitHub CI jobs, so everything in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
  is green right now.
  
  The `bazel.yml` uses extra config in `.github/workflows/ci.bazelrc` so
  that macOS CI jobs build _remotely_ on Linux hosts (using the
  `docker://docker.io/mbolin491/codex-bazel` Docker image declared in the
  root `BUILD.bazel`) using cross-compilation to build the macOS
  artifacts. Then these artifacts are downloaded locally to GitHub's macOS
  runner so the tests can be executed natively. This is the relevant
  config that enables this:
  
  ```
  common:macos --config=remote
  common:macos --strategy=remote
  common:macos --strategy=TestRunner=darwin-sandbox,local
  ```
  
  Because of the remote caching benefits we get from BuildBuddy, these new
  CI jobs can be extremely fast! For example, consider these two jobs that
  ran all the tests on Linux x86_64:
  
  - Bazel 1m37s
  https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063212/job/59940545209?pr=8875
  - Cargo 9m20s
  https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063192/job/59940559592?pr=8875
  
  For now, we will continue to run both the Bazel and Cargo jobs for PRs,
  but once we add support for Windows and running Clippy, we should be
  able to cutover to using Bazel exclusively for PRs, which should still
  speed things up considerably. We will probably continue to run the Cargo
  jobs post-merge for commits that land on `main` as a sanity check.
  
  Release builds will also continue to be done by Cargo for now.
  
  Earlier attempt at this PR: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8832

• fix: implement 'Allow this session' for apply_patch approvals (#8451)

  **Summary**
  This PR makes “ApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession / don’t ask again this
  session” actually work for `apply_patch` approvals by caching approvals
  based on absolute file paths in codex-core, properly wiring it through
  app-server v2, and exposing the choice in both TUI and TUI2.
  - This brings `apply_patch` calls to be at feature-parity with general
  shell commands, which also have a "Yes, and don't ask again" option.
  - This also fixes VSCE's "Allow this session" button to actually work.
  
  While we're at it, also split the app-server v2 protocol's
  `ApprovalDecision` enum so execpolicy amendments are only available for
  command execution approvals.
  
  **Key changes**
  - Core: per-session patch approval allowlist keyed by absolute file
  paths
  - Handles multi-file patches and renames/moves by recording both source
  and destination paths for `Update { move_path: Some(...) }`.
  - Extend the `Approvable` trait and `ApplyPatchRuntime` to work with
  multiple keys, because an `apply_patch` tool call can modify multiple
  files. For a request to be auto-approved, we will need to check that all
  file paths have been approved previously.
  - App-server v2: honor AcceptForSession for file changes
  - File-change approval responses now map AcceptForSession to
  ReviewDecision::ApprovedForSession (no longer downgraded to plain
  Approved).
  - Replace `ApprovalDecision` with two enums:
  `CommandExecutionApprovalDecision` and `FileChangeApprovalDecision`
  - TUI / TUI2: expose “don’t ask again for these files this session”
  - Patch approval overlays now include a third option (“Yes, and don’t
  ask again for these files this session (s)”).
      - Snapshot updates for the approval modal.
  
  **Tests added/updated**
  - Core:
  - Integration test that proves ApprovedForSession on a patch skips the
  next patch prompt for the same file
  - App-server:
  - v2 integration test verifying
  FileChangeApprovalDecision::AcceptForSession works properly
  
  **User-visible behavior**
  - When the user approves a patch “for session”, future patches touching
  only those previously approved file(s) will no longer prompt gain during
  that session (both via app-server v2 and TUI/TUI2).
  
  **Manual testing**
  Tested both TUI and TUI2 - see screenshots below.

• [app-server] fix config loading for conversations (#8765)

  Currently we don't load config properly for app server conversations.
  see:
  https://linear.app/openai/issue/CODEX-3956/config-flags-not-respected-in-codex-app-server.
  This PR fixes that by respecting the config passed in.
  
  Tested by running `cargo build -p codex-cli &&
  RUST_LOG=codex_app_server=debug CODEX_BIN=target/debug/codex cargo run
  -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
  --config
  model_providers.mock_provider.base_url=\"http://localhost:4010/v2\" \
      --config model_provider=\"mock_provider\" \
      --config model_providers.mock_provider.name="hello" \
      send-message-v2 "hello"`
  and verified that the mock_provider is called instead of default
  provider.

• fix: remove serde(flatten) annotation for TurnError (#7499)

  The problem with using `serde(flatten)` on Turn status is that it
  conditionally serializes the `error` field, which is not the pattern we
  want in API v2 where all fields on an object should always be returned.
  
  ```
  #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone, PartialEq, JsonSchema, TS)]
  #[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
  #[ts(export_to = "v2/")]
  pub struct Turn {
      pub id: String,
      /// Only populated on a `thread/resume` response.
      /// For all other responses and notifications returning a Turn,
      /// the items field will be an empty list.
      pub items: Vec<ThreadItem>,
      #[serde(flatten)]
      pub status: TurnStatus,
  }
  
  #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone, PartialEq, JsonSchema, TS)]
  #[serde(tag = "status", rename_all = "camelCase")]
  #[ts(tag = "status", export_to = "v2/")]
  pub enum TurnStatus {
      Completed,
      Interrupted,
      Failed { error: TurnError },
      InProgress,
  }
  ```
  
  serializes to:
  ```
  {
    "id": "turn-123",
    "items": [],
    "status": "completed"
  }
  
  {
    "id": "turn-123",
    "items": [],
    "status": "failed",
    "error": {
      "message": "Tool timeout",
      "codexErrorInfo": null
    }
  }
  ```
  
  Instead we want:
  ```
  {
    "id": "turn-123",
    "items": [],
    "status": "completed",
    "error": null
  }
  
  {
    "id": "turn-123",
    "items": [],
    "status": "failed",
    "error": {
      "message": "Tool timeout",
      "codexErrorInfo": null
    }
  }
  ```

• [app-server] feat: v2 apply_patch approval flow (#6760)

  This PR adds the API V2 version of the apply_patch approval flow, which
  centers around `ThreadItem::FileChange`.
  
  This PR wires the new RPC (`item/fileChange/requestApproval`, V2 only)
  and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed` for
  `ThreadItem::FileChange`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2) through
  the app-server
  protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
  turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
  compatibility with VSCE.
  
  Similar to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, the approach I
  took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as possible,
  leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating those in
  app-server. I did have to add a few additional fields to
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` and `EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd`, but those
  were fairly lightweight.
  
  However, the `EventMsg`s emitted by core are the following:
  ```
  1) Auto-approved (no request for approval)

  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  
  2) Approved by user
  - EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  
  3) Declined by user
  - EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
  - EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
  ```
  
  For a request triggering an approval, this would result in:
  ```
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/started
  item/completed
  ```
  
  which is different from the `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` flow
  introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, which does the
  below and is preferable:
  ```
  item/started
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/completed
  ```
  
  To fix this, we leverage `TurnSummaryStore` on codex_message_processor
  to store a little bit of state, allowing us to fire `item/started` and
  `item/fileChange/requestApproval` whenever we receive the underlying
  `EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest`, and no-oping when we receive the
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` later.
  
  This is much less invasive than modifying the order of EventMsg within
  core (I tried).
  
  The resulting payloads:
  ```

    "method": "item/started",
    "params": {
      "item": {
        "changes": [

• [app-server] introduce turn/completed v2 event (#6800)

  similar to logic in
  `codex/codex-rs/exec/src/event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs`.
  translation of v1 -> v2 events:
  `codex/event/task_complete` -> `turn/completed`
  `codex/event/turn_aborted` -> `turn/completed` with `interrupted` status
  `codex/event/error` -> `turn/completed` with `error` status
  
  this PR also makes `items` field in `Turn` optional. For now, we only
  populate it when we resume a thread, and leave it as None for all other
  places until we properly rewrite core to keep track of items.
  
  tested using the codex app server client. example new event:
  ```
  < {
  <   "method": "turn/completed",
  <   "params": {
  <     "turn": {
  <       "id": "0",
  <       "items": [],
  <       "status": "interrupted"
  <     }
  <   }
  < }
  ```
