Match model metadata by longest matching remote slug prefix before local
fallback.
- Update `get_model_info` to prefer the most specific remote slug prefix
for the requested model.
- Add an integration test to assert `gpt-5.3-codex-test` resolves to
`gpt-5.3-codex` over `gpt-5.3`.
## Problem
When unified-exec background sessions appear while the status indicator
is visible, the bottom pane can grow by one row to show a dedicated
footer line. That row insertion/removal makes the composer jump
vertically and produces visible jitter/flicker during streaming turns.
## Mental model
The bottom pane should expose one canonical background-exec summary
string, but it should surface that string in only one place at a time:
- if the status indicator row is visible, show the summary inline on
that row;
- if the status indicator row is hidden, show the summary as the
standalone unified-exec footer row.
This keeps status information visible while preserving a stable pane
height.
## Non-goals
This change does not alter unified-exec lifecycle, process tracking, or
`/ps` behavior. It does not redesign status text copy, spinner timing,
or interrupt handling semantics.
## Tradeoffs
Inlining the summary preserves layout stability and keeps interrupt
affordances in a fixed location, but it reduces horizontal space for
long status/detail text in narrow terminals. We accept that truncation
risk in exchange for removing vertical jitter and keeping the composer
anchored.
## Architecture
`UnifiedExecFooter` remains the source of truth for background-process
summary copy via `summary_text()`. `BottomPane` mirrors that text into
`StatusIndicatorWidget::update_inline_message()` whenever process state
changes or a status widget is created. Rendering enforces single-surface
output: the standalone footer row is skipped while status is present,
and the status row appends the summary after the elapsed/interrupt
segment.
## Documentation pass
Added non-functional docs/comments that make the new invariant explicit:
- status row owns inline summary when present;
- unified-exec footer row renders only when status row is absent;
- summary ordering keeps elapsed/interrupt affordance in a stable
position.
## Observability
No new telemetry or logs are introduced. The behavior is traceable
through:
- `BottomPane::set_unified_exec_processes()` for state updates,
- `BottomPane::sync_status_inline_message()` for status-row
synchronization,
- `StatusIndicatorWidget::render()` for final inline ordering.
## Tests
- Added
`bottom_pane::tests::unified_exec_summary_does_not_increase_height_when_status_visible`
to lock the no-height-growth invariant.
- Updated the unified-exec status restoration snapshot to match inline
rendering order.
- Validated with:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib`

**Why We Did This**
- The goal is to reduce MCP tool context pollution by not exposing the
full MCP tool list up front
- It forces an explicit discovery step (`search_tool_bm25`) so the model
narrows tool scope before making MCP calls, which helps relevance and
lowers prompt/tool clutter.
**What It Changed**
- Added a new experimental feature flag `search_tool` in
`core/src/features.rs:90` and `core/src/features.rs:430`.
- Added config/schema support for that flag in
`core/config.schema.json:214` and `core/config.schema.json:1235`.
- Added BM25 dependency (`bm25`) in `Cargo.toml:129` and
`core/Cargo.toml:23`.
- Added new tool handler `search_tool_bm25` in
`core/src/tools/handlers/search_tool_bm25.rs:18`.
- Registered the handler and tool spec in
`core/src/tools/handlers/mod.rs:11` and `core/src/tools/spec.rs:780` and
`core/src/tools/spec.rs:1344`.
- Extended `ToolsConfig` to carry `search_tool` enablement in
`core/src/tools/spec.rs:32` and `core/src/tools/spec.rs:56`.
- Injected dedicated developer instructions for tool-discovery workflow
in `core/src/codex.rs:483` and `core/src/codex.rs:1976`, using
`core/templates/search_tool/developer_instructions.md:1`.
- Added session state to store one-shot selected MCP tools in
`core/src/state/session.rs:27` and `core/src/state/session.rs:131`.
- Added filtering so when feature is enabled, only selected MCP tools
are exposed on the next request (then consumed) in
`core/src/codex.rs:3800` and `core/src/codex.rs:3843`.
- Added E2E suite coverage for
enablement/instructions/hide-until-search/one-turn-selection in
`core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:72`,
`core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:109`,
`core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:147`, and
`core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs:218`.
- Refactored test helper utilities to support config-driven tool
collection in `core/tests/suite/tools.rs:281`.
**Net Behavioral Effect**
- With `search_tool` **off**: existing MCP behavior (tools exposed
normally).
- With `search_tool` **on**: MCP tools start hidden, model must call
`search_tool_bm25`, and only returned `selected_tools` are available for
the next model call.
## Summary
- add targeted remote-compaction failure diagnostics in compact_remote
logging
- log the specific values needed to explain overflow timing:
- last_api_response_total_tokens
- estimated_tokens_of_items_added_since_last_successful_api_response
- estimated_bytes_of_items_added_since_last_successful_api_response
- failing_compaction_request_body_bytes
- simplify breakdown naming and remove
last_api_response_total_bytes_estimate (it was an approximation and not
useful for debugging)
## Why
When compaction fails with context_length_exceeded, we need concrete,
low-ambiguity numbers that map directly to:
1) what the API most recently reported, and
2) what local history added since then.
This keeps the failure logs actionable without adding broad, noisy
metrics.
## Testing

## Summary
This PR fixes long-text rendering in the `request_user_input` TUI
overlay while preserving a clear two-column option layout. (Issue
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/11093)
Before:
- very long option labels could push description text into a narrow
right-edge strip
- option labels were effectively single-line when descriptions were
present, causing truncation/poor readability
- label and description wrapping interacted in one combined wrapped line
<img width="504" height="409" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-08 at 2 27 25 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a9afd108-d792-4522-bce1-e43b3cce882b"
/>
After:
- option labels wrap inside the left column
- descriptions wrap independently inside the right column
- row measurement and row rendering use the same wrapping path, so
layout stays stable
<img width="582" height="211" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-09 at 10 28 02 AM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47885a1c-07e5-4b0f-b992-032b149f1b0d"
/>
## Problem
`request_user_input` needs to handle verbose prompts/options. With
oversized labels:
- descriptions could collapse into a thin, hard-to-read column
- important label context was lost
## Root Cause
In shared row rendering (`selection_popup_common`):
- rows were wrapped as a single combined line
- auto column sizing could still place `desc_col` too far right for long
labels
- `request_user_input` rows did not provide wrap metadata to align
continuation lines after the option prefix
## What Changed
### 1) `request_user_input` rows opt into wrapped labels
File: `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/mod.rs`
- In `option_rows()`, compute the rendered option prefix (`› 1. ` / ` 2.
`) and set `wrap_indent` from its display width.
- Apply the same behavior to the synthetic “None of the above” row.
- Add long-text snapshot test coverage
(`question_with_very_long_option_text` +
`request_user_input_long_option_text_snapshot`).
### 2) Shared renderer now has an opt-in two-column wrapping path
File: `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs`
- Add focused helpers:
- `should_wrap_name_in_column`
- `wrap_two_column_row`
- `wrap_standard_row`
- `wrap_row_lines`
- `apply_row_state_style`
- For opted-in rows (plain option rows with `wrap_indent` +
description), wrap label and description independently in their own
columns.
- Keep the legacy standard wrapping path for non-opted rows.
- Use the same `wrap_row_lines` function in both rendering and height
measurement to keep them in sync.
### 3) Keep column sizing simple and derived from existing fixed split
constants
File: `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs`
- Keep fixed mode at `3/10` left column (`30/70` split).
- In auto modes, cap label width using those same fixed constants (max
70% label, min 30% description), instead of extra special-case
constants/branches.
- Add/keep narrow-width safety guard in `wrap_two_column_row` so
extremely small widths do not panic.
### 4) Snapshot coverage
File: `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/snapshots/
codex_tui__bottom_pane__request_user_input__tests__request_user_input_long_option_text.snap`
- Add snapshot for long-label/long-description two-column rendering
behavior.
## Summary
- remove `network-proxy-cli` from the Rust workspace members
- delete the dedicated `codex-network-proxy-cli` crate files
- remove the stale `codex-network-proxy-cli` package entry from
`Cargo.lock`
## Testing
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-network-proxy
Instead of storing a special connection on the client level make the
regular task responsible for establishing a normal client session and
open a connection on it.
Then when the turn is started we pass in a pre-established session.
On some platforms, the "notify" file watcher library emits events for
file opens and reads, not just file modifications or deletes. The
previous implementation didn't take this into account.
Furthermore, the `tracing.info!` call that I previously added was
emitting a lot of logs. I had assumed incorrectly that `info` level
logging was disabled by default, but it's apparently enabled for this
crate. This is resulting in large logs (hundreds of MB) for some users.
## Summary
- change compaction pre-check accounting to include all items added
after the last model-generated item, not only trailing codex-generated
outputs
- use that boundary consistently in get_total_token_usage() and
get_total_token_usage_breakdown()
- update history tests to cover user/tool-output items after the last
model item
## Why
last_token_usage.total_tokens is API-reported for the last successful
model response. After that point, local history may gain additional
items (user messages, injected context, tool outputs). Compaction
triggering must account for all of those items to avoid late compaction
attempts that can overflow context.
## Testing
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-core
We support requirements on Unix, loading from
`/etc/codex/requirements.toml`. On MacOS, we also support MDM.
Now, on Windows, we'll load requirements from
`%ProgramData%\OpenAI\Codex\requirements.toml`

With this PR we do not close the unified exec processes (i.e. background
terminals) at the end of a turn unless:
* The user interrupt the turn
* The user decide to clean the processes through `app-server` or
`/clean`
I made sure that `codex exec` correctly kill all the processes
This PR adds the following field to `Config`:
```rust
pub network: Option<NetworkProxy>,
```
Though for the moment, it will always be initialized as `None` (this
will be addressed in a subsequent PR).
This PR does the work to thread `network` through to `execute_exec_env()`, `process_exec_tool_call()`, and `UnifiedExecRuntime.run()` to ensure it is available whenever we span a process.
There are two concepts of apps that we load in the harness:
- Directory apps, which is all the apps that the user can install.
- Accessible apps, which is what the user actually installed and can be
$ inserted and be used by the model. These are extracted from the tools
that are loaded through the gateway MCP.
Previously we wait for both sets of apps before returning the full apps
list. Which causes many issues because accessible apps won't be
available to the UI or the model if directory apps aren't loaded or
failed to load.
In this PR we are separating them so that accessible apps can be loaded
separately and are instantly available to be shown in the UI and to be
provided in model context. We also added an app-server event so that
clients can subscribe to also get accessible apps without being blocked
on the full app list.
- [x] Separate accessible apps and directory apps loading.
- [x] `app/list` request will also emit `app/list/updated` notifications
that app-server clients can subscribe. Which allows clients to get
accessible apps list to render in the $ menu without being blocked by
directory apps.
- [x] Cache both accessible and directory apps with 1 hour TTL to avoid
reloading them when creating new threads.
- [x] TUI improvements to redraw $ menu and /apps menu when app list is
updated.
If `NetworkConstraints` is set, then include the relevant settings on `<environment_context>`. Example:
```xml
<environment_context>
<cwd>/repo</cwd>
<shell>bash</shell>
<network enabled="true">
<allowed>api.example.com</allowed>
<allowed>*.openai.com</allowed>
<denied>blocked.example.com</denied>
</network>
</environment_context>
```
Currently, `codex-network-proxy` depends on `codex-core`, but this
should be the other way around. As a first step, refactor out
`ConfigReloader`, which should make it easier to move
`codex-rs/network-proxy/src/state.rs` to `codex-core` in a subsequent
commit.
- Plumb input modalities from model catalog through the openai model
protocol. Default to text and image.
- Conditionally add the view_image tool only if input modalities support
image.
- Defer rollout persistence for fresh threads (`InitialHistory::New`):
keep rollout events in memory and only materialize rollout file + state
DB row on first `EventMsg::UserMessage`.
- Keep precomputed rollout path available before materialization.
- Change `thread/start` to build thread response from live config
snapshot and optional precomputed path.
- Improve pre-materialization behavior in app-server/TUI: clearer
invalid-request errors for file-backed ops and a friendlier `/fork` “not
ready yet” UX.
- Update tests to match deferred semantics across
start/read/archive/unarchive/fork/resume/review flows.
- Improved resilience of user_shell test, which should be unrelated to
this change but must be affected by timing changes
For Reviewers:
* The primary change is in recorder.rs
* Most of the other changes were to fix up broken assumptions in
existing tests
Testing:
* Manually tested CLI
* Exercised app server paths by manually running IDE Extension with
rebuilt CLI binary
* Only user-visible change is that `/fork` in TUI generates visible
error if used prior to first turn
Fixes#9050
When a draft is stashed with Ctrl+C, we now persist the full draft state
(text elements, local image paths, and pending paste payloads) in local
history. Up/Down recall rehydrates placeholder elements and attachments
so styling remains correct and large pastes still expand on submit.
Persistent (cross‑session) history remains text‑only.
Backtrack prefills now reuse the selected user message’s text elements
and local image paths, so image placeholders/attachments rehydrate when
rolling back.
External editor replacements keep only attachments whose placeholders
remain and then normalize image placeholders to `[Image #1]..[Image #N]`
to keep the attachment mapping consistent.

#10958 introduced experimental support for a network config in
`/etc/codex/requirements.toml`, so this extends `/debug-config` to
surface this information, if set, which should make it easier to debug.
## Summary
- make `turn/start` normalize
`collaborationMode.settings.developer_instructions: null` to the
built-in instructions for the selected mode
- prevent app-server clients from accidentally clearing mode-switch
developer instructions by sending `null`
- document this behavior in the v2 protocol and app-server docs
## What changed
- `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
- added a small `normalize_turn_start_collaboration_mode` helper
- in `turn_start`, apply normalization before `OverrideTurnContext`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs`
- extended `turn_start_accepts_collaboration_mode_override_v2` to assert
the outgoing request includes default-mode instruction text when the
client sends `developer_instructions: null`
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`
- clarified `TurnStartParams.collaboration_mode` docs:
`settings.developer_instructions: null` means use built-in mode
instructions
- regenerated schema fixture:
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/v2/TurnStartParams.ts`
- docs:
- `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`
- `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`
Hardens PTY Python REPL test and make MCP test startup deterministic
**Summary**
- `utils/pty/src/tests.rs`
- Added a REPL readiness handshake (`wait_for_python_repl_ready`) that
repeatedly sends a marker and waits for it in PTY output before sending
test commands.
- Updated `pty_python_repl_emits_output_and_exits` to:
- wait for readiness first,
- preserve startup output,
- append output collected through process exit.
- Reduces Windows/ConPTY flakiness from early stdin writes racing REPL
startup.
- `mcp-server/tests/suite/codex_tool.rs`
- Avoid remote model refresh during MCP test startup, reducing
timeout-prone nondeterminism.
Summary
- wrap `shell -lc` executions that use a snapshot with the session shell
so the saved environment is sourced before delegating to the original
shell
- escape single quotes in the generated wrapper and add tests covering
Bash/Zsh/sh session bootstrapping
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
Summary
- add the new resume_agent collab tool path through core, protocol, and
the app server API, including the resume events
- update the schema/TypeScript definitions plus docs so resume_agent
appears in generated artifacts and README
- note that resumed agents rehydrate rollout history without overwriting
their base instructions
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
