• tui: preserve remote image attachments across resume/backtrack (#10590)

  ## Summary
  This PR makes app-server-provided image URLs first-class attachments in
  TUI, so they survive resume/backtrack/history recall and are resubmitted
  correctly.

  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4558d230-f1bd-4eed-a093-8e1ab9c6db27"
  />
  
  In both history and composer, remote images are rendered as normal
  `[Image #N]` placeholders, with numbering unified with local images.
  
  ## What changed
  - Plumb remote image URLs through TUI message state:
    - `UserHistoryCell`
    - `BacktrackSelection`
    - `ChatComposerHistory::HistoryEntry`
    - `ChatWidget::UserMessage`
  - Show remote images as placeholder rows inside the composer box (above
  textarea), and in history cells.
  - Support keyboard selection/deletion for remote image rows in composer
  (`Up`/`Down`, `Delete`/`Backspace`).
  - Preserve remote-image-only turns in local composer history (Up/Down
  recall), including restore after backtrack.
  - Ensure submit/queue/backtrack resubmit include remote images in model
  input (`UserInput::Image`), and keep request shape stable for
  remote-image-only turns.
  - Keep image numbering contiguous across remote + local images:
    - remote images occupy `[Image #1]..[Image #M]`
    - local images start at `[Image #M+1]`
    - deletion renumbers consistently.
  - In protocol conversion, increment shared image index for remote images
  too, so mixed remote/local image tags stay in a single sequence.
  - Simplify restore logic to trust in-memory attachment order (no
  placeholder-number parsing path).
  - Backtrack/replay rollback handling now queues trims through
  `AppEvent::ApplyThreadRollback` and syncs transcript overlay/deferred
  lines after trims, so overlay/transcript state stays consistent.
  - Trim trailing blank rendered lines from user history rendering to
  avoid oversized blank padding.
  
  ## Docs + tests
  - Updated: `docs/tui-chat-composer.md` (remote image flow,
  selection/deletion, numbering offsets)
  - Added/updated tests across `tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`,
  `tui/src/app.rs`, `tui/src/app_backtrack.rs`, `tui/src/history_cell.rs`,
  and `tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`
  - Added snapshot coverage for remote image composer states, including
  deleting the first of two remote images.
  
  ## Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-tui`

• Persist complete TurnContextItem state via canonical conversion (#11656)

  ## Summary
  
  This PR delivers the first small, shippable step toward model-visible
  state diffing by making
  `TurnContextItem` more complete and standardizing how it is built.
  
  Specifically, it:
  - Adds persisted network context to `TurnContextItem`.
  - Introduces a single canonical `TurnContext -> TurnContextItem`
  conversion path.
  - Routes existing rollout write sites through that canonical conversion
  helper.
  
  No context injection/diff behavior changes are included in this PR.
  
  ## Why this change
  
  The design goal is to make `TurnContextItem` the canonical source of
  truth for context-diff
  decisions.
  Before this PR:
  - `TurnContextItem` did not include all TurnContext-derived environment
  inputs needed for v1
  completeness.
  - Construction was duplicated at multiple write sites.
  
  This PR addresses both with a minimal, reviewable change.
  
  ## Changes
  
  ### 1) Extend `TurnContextItem` with network state
  - Added `TurnContextNetworkItem { allowed_domains, denied_domains }`.
  - Added `network: Option<TurnContextNetworkItem>` to `TurnContextItem`.
  - Kept backward compatibility by making the new field optional and
  skipped when absent.
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`
  
  ### 2) Canonical conversion helper
  - Added `TurnContext::to_turn_context_item(collaboration_mode)` in core.
  - Added internal helper to derive network fields from
  `config_layer_stack.requirements().network`.
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
  
  ### 3) Use canonical conversion at rollout write sites
  - Replaced ad hoc `TurnContextItem { ... }` construction with
  `to_turn_context_item(...)` in:
    - sampling request path
    - compaction path
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
  - `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
  
  ### 4) Update fixtures/tests for new optional field
  - Updated existing `TurnContextItem` literals in tests to include
  `network: None`.
  - Added protocol tests for:
    - deserializing old payloads with no `network`
    - serializing when `network` is present
  
  Files:
  - `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/resume_warning.rs`
  - No replay/diff logic changes.
  - Persisted rollout `TurnContextItem` now carries additional network
  context when available.
  - Older rollout lines without `network` remain readable.

• feat(app-server): experimental flag to persist extended history (#11227)

  This PR adds an experimental `persist_extended_history` bool flag to
  app-server thread APIs so rollout logs can retain a richer set of
  EventMsgs for non-lossy Thread > Turn > ThreadItems reconstruction (i.e.
  on `thread/resume`).
  
  ### Motivation
  Today, our rollout recorder only persists a small subset (e.g. user
  message, reasoning, assistant message) of `EventMsg` types, dropping a
  good number (like command exec, file change, etc.) that are important
  for reconstructing full item history for `thread/resume`, `thread/read`,
  and `thread/fork`.
  
  Some clients want to be able to resume a thread without lossiness. This
  lossiness is primarily a UI thing, since what the model sees are
  `ResponseItem` and not `EventMsg`.
  
  ### Approach
  This change introduces an opt-in `persist_full_history` flag to preserve
  those events when you start/resume/fork a thread (defaults to `false`).
  
  This is done by adding an `EventPersistenceMode` to the rollout
  recorder:
  - `Limited` (existing behavior, default)
  - `Extended` (new opt-in behavior)
  
  In `Extended` mode, persist additional `EventMsg` variants needed for
  non-lossy app-server `ThreadItem` reconstruction. We now store the
  following ThreadItems that we didn't before:
  - web search
  - command execution
  - patch/file changes
  - MCP tool calls
  - image view calls
  - collab tool outcomes
  - context compaction
  - review mode enter/exit
  
  For **command executions** in particular, we truncate the output using
  the existing `truncate_text` from core to store an upper bound of 10,000
  bytes, which is also the default value for truncating tool outputs shown
  to the model. This keeps the size of the rollout file and command
  execution items returned over the wire reasonable.
  
  And we also persist `EventMsg::Error` which we can now map back to the
  Turn's status and populates the Turn's error metadata.
  
  #### Updates to EventMsgs
  To truly make `thread/resume` non-lossy, we also needed to persist the
  `status` on `EventMsg::CommandExecutionEndEvent` and
  `EventMsg::PatchApplyEndEvent`. Previously it was not obvious whether a
  command failed or was declined (similar for apply_patch). These
  EventMsgs were never persisted before so I made it a required field.

• 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.

• 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 }

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: retain NetworkProxy, when appropriate (#11207)

  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.

• fix(tui): conditionally restore status indicator using message phase (#10947)

  TLDR: use new message phase field emitted by preamble-supported models
  to determine whether an AgentMessage is mid-turn commentary. if so,
  restore the status indicator afterwards to indicate the turn has not
  completed.
  
  ### Problem
  `commit_tick` hides the status indicator while streaming assistant text.
  For preamble-capable models, that text can be commentary mid-turn, so
  hiding was correct during streaming but restore timing mattered:
  - restoring too aggressively caused jitter/flashing
  - not restoring caused indicator to stay hidden before subsequent work
  (tool calls, web search, etc.)
  
  ### Fix
  - Add optional `phase` to `AgentMessageItem` and propagate it from
  `ResponseItem::Message`
  - Keep indicator hidden during streamed commit ticks, restore only when:
    - assistant item completes as `phase=commentary`, and
    - stream queues are idle + task is still running.
  - Treat `phase=None` as final-answer behavior (no restore) to keep
  existing behavior for non-preamble models
  
  ### Tests
  Add/update tests for:
  - no idle-tick restore without commentary completion
  - commentary completion restoring status before tool begin
  - snapshot coverage for preamble/status behavior

• 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
  }
  ```

  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.

• [Codex][CLI] Gate image inputs by model modalities (#10271)

  ###### Summary
  
  - Add input_modalities to model metadata so clients can determine
  supported input types.
  - Gate image paste/attach in TUI when the selected model does not
  support images.
  - Block submits that include images for unsupported models and show a
  clear warning.
  - Propagate modality metadata through app-server protocol/model-list
  responses.
    - Update related tests/fixtures.
  
    ###### Rationale
  
    - Models support different input modalities.
  - Clients need an explicit capability signal to prevent unsupported
  requests.
  - Backward-compatible defaults preserve existing behavior when modality
  metadata is absent.
  
    ###### Scope
  
    - codex-rs/protocol, codex-rs/core, codex-rs/tui
    - codex-rs/app-server-protocol, codex-rs/app-server
    - Generated app-server types / schema fixtures
  
    ###### Trade-offs
  
  - Default behavior assumes text + image when field is absent for
  compatibility.
    - Server-side validation remains the source of truth.
  
    ###### Follow-up
  
  - Non-TUI clients should consume input_modalities to disable unsupported
  attachments.
  - Model catalogs should explicitly set input_modalities for text-only
  models.
  
    ###### Testing
  
    - cargo fmt --all
    - cargo test -p codex-tui
    - env -u GITHUB_APP_KEY cargo test -p codex-core --lib
    - just write-app-server-schema
  - cargo run -p codex-cli --bin codex -- app-server generate-ts --out
  app-server-types
    - test against local backend

• 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: add MCP protocol types and rmcp adapters (#10356)

  Currently, types from our custom `mcp-types` crate are part of some of
  our APIs:
  
  
  https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/03fcd12e77fedf4fa327af27e2e476e1ebc5f651/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs#L43-L46
  
  To eliminate this crate in #10349 by switching to `rmcp`, we need our
  own wrappers for the `rmcp` types that we can use in our API, which is
  what this PR does.
  
  Note this PR introduces the new API types, but we do not make use of
  them until #10349.

• Plan mode: stream proposed plans, emit plan items, and render in TUI (#9786)

  ## Summary
  - Stream proposed plans in Plan Mode using `<proposed_plan>` tags parsed
  in core, emitting plan deltas plus a plan `ThreadItem`, while stripping
  tags from normal assistant output.
  - Persist plan items and rebuild them on resume so proposed plans show
  in thread history.
  - Wire plan items/deltas through app-server protocol v2 and render a
  dedicated proposed-plan view in the TUI, including the “Implement this
  plan?” prompt only when a plan item is present.
  
  ## Changes
  
  ### Core (`codex-rs/core`)
  - Added a generic, line-based tag parser that buffers each line until it
  can disprove a tag prefix; implements auto-close on `finish()` for
  unterminated tags. `codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`
  - Refactored proposed plan parsing to wrap the generic parser.
  `codex-rs/core/src/proposed_plan_parser.rs`
  - In plan mode, stream assistant deltas as:
    - **Normal text** → `AgentMessageContentDelta`
    - **Plan text** → `PlanDelta` + `TurnItem::Plan` start/completion  
    (`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`)
  - Final plan item content is derived from the completed assistant
  message (authoritative), not necessarily the concatenated deltas.
  - Strips `<proposed_plan>` blocks from assistant text in plan mode so
  tags don’t appear in normal messages.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/stream_events_utils.rs`)
  - Persist `ItemCompleted` events only for plan items for rollout replay.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/policy.rs`)
  - Guard `update_plan` tool in Plan Mode with a clear error message.
  (`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/plan.rs`)
  - Updated Plan Mode prompt to:  
    - keep `<proposed_plan>` out of non-final reasoning/preambles  
    - require exact tag formatting  
    - allow only one `<proposed_plan>` block per turn  
    (`codex-rs/core/templates/collaboration_mode/plan.md`)
  
  ### Protocol / App-server protocol
  - Added `TurnItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaEvent` to core protocol items.
  (`codex-rs/protocol/src/items.rs`, `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`)
  - Added v2 `ThreadItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaNotification` with
  EXPERIMENTAL markers and note that deltas may not match the final plan
  item. (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`)
  - Added plan delta route in app-server protocol common mapping.
  (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs`)
  - Rebuild plan items from persisted `ItemCompleted` events on resume.
  (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/thread_history.rs`)
  
  ### App-server
  - Forward plan deltas to v2 clients and map core plan items to v2 plan
  items. (`codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs`,
  `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`)
  - Added v2 plan item tests.
  (`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
  
  ### TUI
  - Added a dedicated proposed plan history cell with special background
  and padding, and moved “• Proposed Plan” outside the highlighted block.
  (`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`, `codex-rs/tui/src/style.rs`)
  - Only show “Implement this plan?” when a plan item exists.
  (`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`,
  `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`)
  
  <img width="831" height="847" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-29 at 7 06 24 PM"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69794c8c-f96b-4d36-92ef-c1f5c3a8f286"
  />
  
  ### Docs / Misc
  - Updated protocol docs to mention plan deltas.
  (`codex-rs/docs/protocol_v1.md`)
  - Minor plumbing updates in exec/debug clients to tolerate plan deltas.
  (`codex-rs/debug-client/src/reader.rs`, `codex-rs/exec/...`)
  
  ## Tests
  - Added core integration tests:
    - Plan mode strips plan from agent messages.
    - Missing `</proposed_plan>` closes at end-of-message.  
    (`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/items.rs`)
  - Added unit tests for generic tag parser (prefix buffering, non-tag
  lines, auto-close). (`codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`)
  - Existing app-server plan item tests in v2.
  (`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
  
  ## Notes / Behavior
  - Plan output no longer appears in standard assistant text in Plan Mode;
  it streams via `PlanDelta` and completes as a `TurnItem::Plan`.
  - The final plan item content is authoritative and may diverge from
  streamed deltas (documented as experimental).
  - Reasoning summaries are not filtered; prompt instructs the model not
  to include `<proposed_plan>` outside the final plan message.
