• feat: introduce Permissions (#11633)

  ## 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`

• Remove test-support feature from codex-core and replace it with explicit test toggles (#11405)

  ## Why
  
  `codex-core` was being built in multiple feature-resolved permutations
  because test-only behavior was modeled as crate features. For a large
  crate, those permutations increase compile cost and reduce cache reuse.
  
  ## Net Change
  
  - Removed the `test-support` crate feature and related feature wiring so
  `codex-core` no longer needs separate feature shapes for test consumers.
  - Standardized cross-crate test-only access behind
  `codex_core::test_support`.
  - External test code now imports helpers from
  `codex_core::test_support`.
  - Underlying implementation hooks are kept internal (`pub(crate)`)
  instead of broadly public.
  
  ## Outcome
  
  - Fewer `codex-core` build permutations.
  - Better incremental cache reuse across test targets.
  - No intended production behavior change.

• feat(app-server, core): allow text + image content items for dynamic tool outputs (#10567)

  Took over the work that @aaronl-openai started here:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10397
  
  Now that app-server clients are able to set up custom tools (called
  `dynamic_tools` in app-server), we should expose a way for clients to
  pass in not just text, but also image outputs. This is something the
  Responses API already supports for function call outputs, where you can
  pass in either a string or an array of content outputs (text, image,
  file):
  https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses_create-input-input_item_list-item-function_tool_call_output-output-array-input_image
  
  So let's just plumb it through in Codex (with the caveat that we only
  support text and image for now). This is implemented end-to-end across
  app-server v2 protocol types and core tool handling.
  
  ## Breaking API change
  NOTE: This introduces a breaking change with dynamic tools, but I think
  it's ok since this concept was only recently introduced
  (https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9539) and it's better to get the
  API contract correct. I don't think there are any real consumers of this
  yet (not even the Codex App).
  
  Old shape:
  `{ "output": "dynamic-ok", "success": true }`
  
  New shape:
  ```
  {
      "contentItems": [
        { "type": "inputText", "text": "dynamic-ok" },
        { "type": "inputImage", "imageUrl": "data:image/png;base64,AAA" }
      ]
    "success": true
  }
  ```

• Cleanup collaboration mode variants (#10404)

  ## 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.

  - Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
    - Previously we only showed completed tool calls

• feat: expose outputSchema to user_turn/turn_start app_server API (#8377)

  What changed
  - Added `outputSchema` support to the app-server APIs, mirroring `codex
  exec --output-schema` behavior.
  - V1 `sendUserTurn` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
  assistant message for that turn.
  - V2 `turn/start` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
  assistant message for that turn (explicitly per-turn only).
  
  Core behavior
  - `Op::UserTurn` already supported `final_output_json_schema`; now V1
  `sendUserTurn` forwards `outputSchema` into that field.
  - `Op::UserInput` now carries `final_output_json_schema` for per-turn
  settings updates; core maps it into
  `SessionSettingsUpdate.final_output_json_schema` so it applies to the
  created turn context.
  - V2 `turn/start` does NOT persist the schema via `OverrideTurnContext`
  (it’s applied only for the current turn). Other overrides
  (cwd/model/etc) keep their existing persistent behavior.
  
  API / docs
  - `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs`: add `output_schema:
  Option<serde_json::Value>` to `SendUserTurnParams` (serialized as
  `outputSchema`).
  - `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`: add `output_schema:
  Option<JsonValue>` to `TurnStartParams` (serialized as `outputSchema`).
  - `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`: document `outputSchema` for
  `turn/start` and clarify it applies only to the current turn.
  - `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`: document `outputSchema` for v1
  `sendUserTurn` and v2 `turn/start`.
  
  Tests added/updated
  - New app-server integration tests asserting `outputSchema` is forwarded
  into outbound `/responses` requests as `text.format`:
    - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/output_schema.rs`
    - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/output_schema.rs`
  - Added per-turn semantics tests (schema does not leak to the next
  turn):
    - `send_user_turn_output_schema_is_per_turn_v1`
    - `turn_start_output_schema_is_per_turn_v2`
  - Added protocol wire-compat tests for the merged op:
    - serialize omits `final_output_json_schema` when `None`
    - deserialize works when field is missing
    - serialize includes `final_output_json_schema` when `Some(schema)`
  
  Call site updates (high level)
  - Updated all `Op::UserInput { .. }` constructions to include
  `final_output_json_schema`:
    - `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
    - `codex-rs/core/src/codex_delegate.rs`
    - `codex-rs/mcp-server/src/codex_tool_runner.rs`
    - `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`
    - `codex-rs/tui2/src/chatwidget.rs`
    - plus impacted core tests.
  
  Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-core`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-mcp-server`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui2`
  - `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
  - `cargo clippy --all-features --tests --profile dev --fix -- -D
  warnings`

• chore: migrate from Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides to ConfigBuilder (#8276)

  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8235 introduced `ConfigBuilder` and
  this PR updates all call non-test call sites to use it instead of
  `Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides()`.
  
  This is important because `load_from_base_config_with_overrides()` uses
  an empty `ConfigRequirements`, which is a reasonable default for testing
  so the tests are not influenced by the settings on the host. This method
  is now guarded by `#[cfg(test)]` so it cannot be used by business logic.
  
  Because `ConfigBuilder::build()` is `async`, many of the test methods
  had to be migrated to be `async`, as well. On the bright side, this made
  it possible to eliminate a bunch of `block_on_future()` stuff.

• Reimplement skills loading using SkillsManager + skills/list op. (#7914)

  refactor the way we load and manage skills:
  1. Move skill discovery/caching into SkillsManager and reuse it across
  sessions.
  2. Add the skills/list API (Op::ListSkills/SkillsListResponse) to fetch
  skills for one or more cwds. Also update app-server for VSCE/App;
  3. Trigger skills/list during session startup so UIs preload skills and
  handle errors immediately.
