• Separate local and remote plugin analytics IDs (#29495)

  ## Why
  
  Plugin analytics overloaded `plugin_id`: most events used the Codex
  `<plugin>@<marketplace>` identity, while remote install events used the
  backend plugin ID. That makes the same field change meaning across event
  types and complicates downstream identity resolution.
  
  This change makes the contract unambiguous:
  
  - `plugin_id`: the local Codex `<plugin>@<marketplace>` identity, when
  resolved
  - `remote_plugin_id`: the backend plugin identity, when available
  
  For a remote install failure that happens before plugin details resolve,
  `plugin_id` is `null` and `remote_plugin_id` remains populated.
  
  ## What changed
  
  All six plugin analytics events use the same identity contract:
  
  - `codex_plugin_installed`
  - `codex_plugin_install_failed`
  - `codex_plugin_uninstalled`
  - `codex_plugin_enabled`
  - `codex_plugin_disabled`
  - `codex_plugin_used`
  
  Remote identity is resolved from the current installed-plugin snapshot
  first, with persisted install metadata as fallback. The telemetry
  metadata type keeps local identity optional for failures that occur
  before remote details are available.
  
  The app-server test client's manual analytics smokes now find remote
  mutation events through `remote_plugin_id` and validate that `plugin_id`
  remains local.
  
  ## Remote uninstall
  
  Resolve and capture telemetry metadata before removing the local plugin
  cache, then emit `codex_plugin_uninstalled` after the backend confirms
  success. The event is also emitted when backend uninstall succeeds but
  local cache cleanup reports `CacheRemove`.
  
  If a concurrent remote-cache refresh removes the local bundle before
  telemetry capture, the already-fetched remote plugin detail supplies
  fallback capability metadata.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just test -p codex-analytics` — 82 passed
  - `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 271 passed
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-test-client` — 5 passed
  - `just test -p codex-plugin` — 3 passed
  - `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install` — 37 passed
  - `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_uninstall` — 10 passed
  
  The production app-server install/uninstall flow was also exercised
  against `plugins~Plugin_f1b845ac33888191ac156169c58733c2`
  (`build-ios-apps@openai-curated-remote`), and the plugin's original
  uninstalled state was restored.

• Share resumed rollout history (#28426)

  ## Summary
  
  Resuming a persisted thread currently deep-clones its complete rollout
  history several times. `InitialHistory` is retained for the app-server
  response, copied into thread persistence, and copied again by read-only
  accessors. These copies scale with the complete rollout rather than the
  bounded model context and add measurable latency for large sessions.
  
  This change stores resumed rollout history in `Arc<Vec<RolloutItem>>`.
  Rollout loading wraps the parsed vector once, while app-server response
  construction, session initialization, and thread persistence share it
  through inexpensive `Arc` clones. Read-only history access now returns a
  borrowed slice, and fork paths use `Arc::unwrap_or_clone` where they
  genuinely need mutable ownership. Rollout reconstruction also consumes
  its temporary context instead of cloning the reconstructed model
  history.
  
  The serialized representation remains unchanged. In an artificial 123 MB
  rollout benchmark, sharing resumed history reduced cold resume latency
  by roughly 9–10%. The affected crates compile with their test targets,
  all 80 thread-store tests pass, and the Bazel dependency lock remains
  valid.

• Handle additional tools in image URL validation (#29577)

  ## Why
  
  `ResponseItem::AdditionalTools` was added without updating app-server
  image URL validation. The exhaustive match therefore prevents app-server
  and downstream targets from compiling on `main`.
  
  ## What changed
  
  Treat `AdditionalTools` like the other response items that cannot
  contain input-image URLs.

• Propagate safety buffering treatment metadata (#29473)

  ## Summary
  
  - read the request-scoped safety-buffering treatment from HTTP response
  headers and per-turn WebSocket metadata through one shared header parser
  - combine that treatment with Responses API safety-buffering signals
  - propagate `showBufferingUi` and nullable `fasterModel` through the
  existing `model/safetyBuffering/updated` app-server notification
  - update the app-server documentation and generated JSON and TypeScript
  schemas
  
  The public implementation contains no model mapping or real model
  identifier. Tests and protocol examples use generic `current-model` and
  `faster-model` placeholders only.
  
  ## Dependencies
  
  - server-side treatment evaluation:
  https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1060247
  - initial Responses API safety-buffering propagation:
  https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29371
  - Codex App UI: https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1057789
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Codex API tests: 129 passed
  - focused Codex core safety-buffering integration test passed
  - app-server protocol tests passed after regenerating schema fixtures
  - Clippy fix and repository formatting completed successfully
  
  The broader app-server run compiled all changed crates and completed
  with 1,269 passing tests. Its remaining failures were unrelated
  environment limitations: macOS sandbox application was denied, one
  expected test binary was unavailable, and several existing subprocess
  tests timed out as a result.

• [codex] reject remote images at app-server ingress (#29419)

  ## Stack
  
  Stacked on #29417. Review and land that PR first.
  
  ## Summary
  
  - reject HTTP(S) image URLs in the handlers for `turn/start` and
  `turn/steer`
  - validate `thread/inject_items` after its existing
  JSON-to-`ResponseItem` conversion, so each item is deserialized once
  - turn invalid dynamic-tool image responses into the existing
  unsuccessful text fallback; the model receives the validation message as
  the function output
  - leave `thread/resume.history` compatible with legacy history; #29417
  replaces remote images before model input
  - continue accepting inline data URLs and `localImage` inputs
  - keep this policy in app-server; this PR does not add a shared protocol
  API or change core image preparation
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `just test -p codex-app-server -E
  'test(/request_handlers_reject_remote_image_urls|dynamic_tool_remote_image_response_becomes_model_visible_error|dynamic_tool_call_round_trip_sends_content_items_to_model|turn_start_tracks_turn_event_analytics|standalone_image_edit_uses_recent_pathless_image/)'`

• [plugins] Add dark-mode logo metadata (#29488)

  Adds additive dark-mode plugin logo metadata across manifests, remote
  catalogs, and the app-server protocol while keeping uninstalled Git
  listings free of synthetic local paths.
  
  Supersedes #28945. This replacement uses an upstream branch so trusted
  CI can use the repository-provided remote Bazel configuration.
  
  ## Current state
  
  Plugin interfaces expose only the default logo asset. Clients therefore
  cannot select a dedicated dark-mode logo even when a plugin provides
  one.
  
  ## What this PR changes
  
  - Adds nullable `logoDark` and `logoUrlDark` fields to
  `PluginInterface`.
  - Resolves local `interface.logoDark` assets and maps remote
  `logo_url_dark` values.
  - Removes path-backed interface assets, including `logoDark`, from
  uninstalled Git fallback listings until the plugin has a real local
  root.
  - Updates the bundled plugin validator and manifest reference.
  - Regenerates the app-server JSON schemas and TypeScript types.
  
  Local manifests expose `interface.logoDark` as a package-relative asset
  path. Remote catalog responses expose `logo_url_dark`. These values map
  into separate app-server fields so clients can preserve local-path and
  remote-URL handling.
  
  ## Risk
  
  The fields are additive and nullable, so existing clients retain their
  current logo behavior. The main risks are an incomplete mapping path or
  exposing a synthetic local path for an uninstalled Git plugin.
  Local-manifest, remote-catalog, fallback-listing, protocol
  serialization, and app-server integration tests cover those paths.
  
  Spiciness: 2/5
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just write-app-server-schema`
  - `just fmt`
  - Regression test first failed with `logo_dark` resolved to
  `/assets/logo-dark.png`, then passed after the fallback-listing fix.
  - `just test -p codex-core-plugins` (267 tests passed)
  - `just test -p codex-app-server 'suite::v2::plugin'` (114 tests passed)
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core-plugins -p
  codex-plugin -p codex-skills` (517 tests passed before the follow-up)
  - `just test -p codex-tui plugin` (47 tests passed)
  - Validated a local plugin manifest containing `interface.logoDark` with
  the bundled validator.
  
  ## Manual verification
  
  Create a local plugin with both `interface.logo` and
  `interface.logoDark`, then call `plugin/list` or `plugin/read`. Confirm
  the response contains separate `logo` and `logoDark` paths. For a remote
  catalog entry, confirm `logoUrlDark` is populated from `logo_url_dark`.
  For an uninstalled Git marketplace entry, confirm path-backed interface
  assets remain absent until installation.
  
  Issue: N/A - coordinated maintainer change.

• [codex] fetch featured IDs for remote plugins (#29485)

  ## Summary
  
  - fetch featured plugin IDs when the loaded catalog includes
  `openai-curated-remote`
  - extend the existing remote marketplace regression test to cover the
  featured IDs response
  
  ## Why
  
  When the remote plugin catalog was enabled, app-server loaded
  `openai-curated-remote` but skipped `/plugins/featured` because the
  request processor only fetched featured IDs for the local
  `openai-curated` marketplace. As a result, the desktop app could not
  render the backend-curated remote featured set.
  
  This keeps the existing local behavior and also returns the curated
  ranking for remote plugins.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `git diff --check`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server
  plugin_list_includes_remote_marketplaces_when_remote_plugin_enabled`

• permission profiles: expose availability to clients (#26678)

  ## Why
  
  `permissionProfile/list` currently advertises every built-in and
  configured profile even when effective enterprise requirements prevent
  selecting it. That forces each client to reconstruct policy from
  lower-level requirement fields, which is easy to miss and difficult to
  keep consistent.
  
  The catalog should remain complete so clients can explain that an option
  was disabled by an administrator, while also reporting whether each
  profile is selectable.
  
  ## What
  
  - Add an `allowed` field to each permission profile summary.
  - Build a shared catalog from the effective config and current
  requirements, including `allowed_sandbox_modes`, `allowed_permissions`,
  and filesystem restrictions.
  - Use the shared catalog in app-server and the TUI so disallowed
  profiles remain visible but cannot be selected.
  - Use the canonical `:danger-full-access` profile ID in the TUI.
  - Update the app-server schemas, API documentation, behavioral tests,
  and TUI snapshots.
  
  ## Scope
  
  This PR targets `main` directly and is independent of #24852. It
  preserves the current behavior where built-in profiles are constrained
  by sandbox-mode requirements and `allowed_permissions` applies to
  configured profiles.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just test -p codex-core
  permission_profile_catalog_marks_profiles_disallowed_by_requirements`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server permission_profile_list`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just test -p codex-tui profile_permissions`
  - `just fix -p codex-core`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just fix -p codex-app-server`
  - `just fix -p codex-tui`

• PAC 2 - Add shared auth system proxy contract (#26707)

  ## Summary
  
  Stacked on #26706.
  
  Adds the shared auth/system-proxy contract that later platform resolver
  PRs plug into. This PR moves Codex-owned auth and startup HTTP clients
  through a common route-aware boundary, but does not yet add Windows or
  macOS system proxy resolution.
  
  The default path remains unchanged when `respect_system_proxy` is absent
  or disabled.
  
  ## Implementation
  
  - Adds `codex-client/src/outbound_proxy.rs` with the shared
  route-selection model:
    - `OutboundProxyConfig`;
    - `ClientRouteClass`;
    - `RouteFailureClass`;
    - `build_reqwest_client_for_route`.
  - Preserves the existing reqwest/default-client behavior when no route
  config is supplied.
  - Uses the fixed MVP routing policy when route config is supplied:
  platform system/PAC/WPAD discovery, then explicit env proxy variables,
  then direct connection.
  - Keeps platform-specific system discovery behind the shared client
  boundary. This PR provides the contract and fallback behavior; later
  resolver PRs plug in Windows and macOS discovery.
  - Adds `login::AuthRouteConfig` so auth call sites depend on a small
  policy type instead of platform resolver details.
  - Maps the resolved `Config.respect_system_proxy` boolean into
  `AuthRouteConfig` for auth-owned clients.
  - Wires the route config through browser login, device-code login,
  access-token login, login status, logout/revoke, token refresh, API-key
  exchange, app-server account login, TUI/app startup, cloud-config
  bootstrap, cloud tasks, plugin auth, and exec startup config loading.
  
  ## End-user behavior
  
  - No behavior changes by default.
  - When `respect_system_proxy = true`, auth-owned clients opt into the
  shared route-aware client path.
  - On platforms without a resolver implementation in this PR, system
  discovery is unavailable and the route-aware path falls back to explicit
  env proxy handling, then direct connection.
  - Custom CA handling remains separate from proxy route selection and
  still runs through the shared client builder.
  - No proxy URLs, PAC contents, or resolved platform details are exposed
  through the public config surface introduced here.
  
  ## Tests
  
  Adds or updates coverage for:
  
  - preserving default auth-client fallback behavior when no route config
  is provided;
  - injected environment-proxy fallback without mutating process
  environment;
  - existing login-server E2E flows using explicit `auth_route_config:
  None` to guard unchanged default behavior;
  - updated auth manager, login, logout, cloud-config, startup, and
  plugin-auth call sites passing route config explicitly.

• [codex] Centralize Plugin Analytics Metadata (#27102)

  This PR moves construction of `PluginTelemetryMetadata` from loader and
  model helpers into `PluginsManager`, which already owns installed plugin
  state and will eventually perform remote identity enrichment. The
  metadata type remains in `codex-plugin`, and serialized analytics events
  remain unchanged.
  
  ## Before
  
  ```mermaid
  flowchart LR
      subgraph Events["Analytics event paths"]

      end

      Used --> Summary
      Summary --> Metadata
  ```
  
  Telemetry metadata was constructed through loader helpers, a
  capability-summary method, and a remote-install call-site override.
  
  ## After
  
  ```mermaid
  flowchart LR
      subgraph Events["Analytics event paths"]
          direction TB

      Lifecycle --> Manager
      Config --> Manager
      Remote -->|"authoritative remote ID"| Manager
      Used -->|"capability summary"| Manager
      Manager --> Metadata
  ```
  
  Every analytics path delegates metadata construction to
  `PluginsManager`. Remote install still supplies its authoritative
  backend ID explicitly.
  
  ## What Changes
  
  - Make loader code return a focused plugin capability summary instead of
  constructing analytics metadata.
  - Centralize immutable plugin telemetry metadata construction in
  `PluginsManager`.
  - Route local install/uninstall, remote install, enable/disable, and
  plugin-used emitters through the manager.
  - Preserve the current serialized analytics contract exactly.
  
  Normal metadata still has no remote override. Remote install continues
  to provide its authoritative backend ID explicitly, so the existing
  serializer continues reporting that ID through `plugin_id`.
  Snapshot-based enrichment is intentionally deferred to the final PR.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - `just test -p codex-core-plugins` (238 tests passed)
  - `just test -p codex-plugin` (3 tests passed)
  - Scoped Clippy/compile checks passed for `codex-plugin`,
  `codex-core-plugins`, `codex-app-server`, and `codex-core`.

• Filter noisy targets from persistent logs (#29457)

  ## Why
  
  The local SQLite log sink currently enables TRACE for every target. This
  persists high-volume dependency logs bridged through `target=log` and
  duplicates OpenTelemetry mirror events in `codex_otel.log_only` and
  `codex_otel.trace_safe`.
  
  These records rapidly consume the per-partition log budget and cause
  unnecessary SQLite insert-and-prune churn.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Keep TRACE persistence for other targets.
  - Exclude bridged `target=log` events from the SQLite sink.
  - Exclude the two `codex_otel` mirror targets from the SQLite sink.
  - Share the same filter between app-server and TUI.
  
  Remote OpenTelemetry export and metrics are unchanged.

• Persist session IDs across thread resume (#29327)

  ## Summary
  
  A cold-resumed subagent kept its durable thread ID but could receive a
  new session ID, splitting one agent tree across multiple sessions after
  a restart.
  
  Persist the root session ID in every rollout `SessionMeta`, carry it
  through thread creation, and restore it before initializing the resumed
  `Session` and `AgentControl`.
  
  ## Behavior
  
  For a nested agent tree:
  
  ```text
  root session R
    parent thread P
      child thread C
  ```
  
  The child rollout stores:
  
  ```text
  session_id:       R
  parent_thread_id: P
  id:               C
  ```
  
  After a cold resume, the child still belongs to root session `R` while
  its immediate parent remains `P`. The integration coverage uses distinct
  values for all three IDs so it catches restoring the session from
  `parent_thread_id`.
  
  ## Legacy rollouts
  
  Previous rollouts have `id` but no `session_id`. `SessionMetaLine`
  deserialization treats a missing `session_id` as `id`, keeping those
  files readable, listable, and resumable. When a legacy subagent is
  resumed through its root, that synthesized child ID no longer overrides
  the inherited root-scoped `AgentControl`. New rollouts always persist
  the explicit root session ID.

• Propagate safety buffering events to app-server clients (#29371)

  Responses API safety buffering metadata currently stops at the transport
  boundary, so app-server clients cannot render the in-progress safety
  review state.
  
  This change:
  - decodes and deduplicates `safety_buffering` metadata from Responses
  API SSE and WebSocket events without suppressing the original response
  event
  - emits a typed core event containing the requested model plus backend
  use cases and reasons
  - forwards that event as `turn/safetyBuffering/updated` through
  app-server v2 and updates generated protocol schemas
  - keeps the side-channel event out of persisted rollouts and turn timing
  
  This supports the Codex Apps buffering UX and depends on the Responses
  API backend work in https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044569 and
  https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044571.
  
  Validation:
  - focused `codex-core` safety-buffering integration test passes
  - `cargo check -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p
  codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just fix -p codex-api -p codex-protocol -p codex-core -p
  codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-app-server -p codex-rollout -p
  codex-rollout-trace -p codex-otel`
  - `just fmt`
  - broad package test run: 4,430/4,492 passed; 62 unrelated
  local-environment/concurrency failures involved unavailable test
  binaries, MCP subprocess setup, and app-server timeouts

• Add config toggles for orchestrator skills and MCP (#28942)

  ## Why
  
  Orchestrator-provided skills and Codex Apps MCP tools add model-visible
  instructions, resources, and tools beyond the local workspace. Hosts
  need config-level switches to disable those orchestrator-owned surfaces
  independently, without disabling regular skills or regular MCP servers.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Adds `[orchestrator.skills].enabled` and `[orchestrator.mcp].enabled`
  config entries, both defaulting to `true`.
  - Includes the new settings in `config.schema.json` and in the config
  lock so resolved thread configuration preserves the same orchestrator
  exposure decisions.
  - Threads `orchestrator.skills.enabled` through the app-server skills
  extension so disabled orchestrator skills do not expose the `skills`
  namespace or inject orchestrator skill context.
  - Gates Codex Apps MCP exposure, app instructions, and app auth
  eligibility on `orchestrator.mcp.enabled` while leaving non-Codex-Apps
  MCP tools available.
  - Updates the thread-manager sample config to disable both
  orchestrator-owned surfaces.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - Added config parsing, loading, defaulting, and schema coverage for the
  new settings.
  - Added MCP exposure coverage that `orchestrator.mcp.enabled = false`
  removes Codex Apps tools while preserving regular MCP tools.

  prevents orchestrator skill tools, prompts, and resource reads from

• Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

  ## Why
  
  Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
  choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
  selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.
  
  The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
  model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
  though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
  its effective default.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
  and pass it through thread creation.
  - Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
  eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
  - Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
  the session configuration established at thread creation.
  - Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
  on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
  - Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
  related runtime threads.
  - Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
  `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
  no mode is selected.
  - Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
  eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
  and persisting the effective mode.
  
  ## Not covered
  
  - Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
  `turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
  selection.
  - A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`
  
  The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
  initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
  selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
  runtime-eligible.
  
  ## Stack
  
  Stacked on #28685. This PR contains only the thread initialization and
  lifecycle/settings API layer.

• Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

  ## Why
  
  Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
  rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
  prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
  changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.
  
  This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
  updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
  mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
  explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
  enabled.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
  `explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
  loaded session's current optional selection.
  - Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
  multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
  selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
  - Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
  unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
  developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
  - Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
  and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
  - Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
  effective mode changes on later turns.
  - Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
  baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.
  
  Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
  messages establish the current rule incrementally.
  
  ## Not covered
  
  - Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
  from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
  #28792.
  - A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
  - Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
  session/turn scoped.
  - Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
  catalog capability declarations.
  - Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
  latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
  developer messages intact.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
  - Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
  produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.
  
  ## Stack
  
  Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
  lifecycle/settings observability.

• [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

  ## Why
  
  Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
  the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
  executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
  add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
  `deferred_executor` feature.
  
  Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
  Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
  know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.
  
  Depends on #28683.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
  it in the app-server README.
  - Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
  one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
  the existing default when it is omitted.
  - Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
  controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
  connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
  timeout.
  - Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
  request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.
  
  ## Test plan
  
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just test -p codex-exec-server`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server
  environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`
  
  ## Rollout
  
  This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
  send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
  deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
  default.

• Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

  ## Summary
  
  - Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
  app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
  - Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
  `intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
  - Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
  path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
  realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.
  
  ## Notes
  
  - WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
  WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
  WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
  and can still use realtime v2.
  - The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
  is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
  line.
  - Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
  protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
  intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
  query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Merged fresh `origin/main` at `83e6a786a2`.

• [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

  ## Summary
  
  - Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
  cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
  namespace.
  - Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
  so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
  `None`.
  - Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
  optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
  not create a cache.
  
  ## Why
  
  Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
  capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
  roots again while building the skills snapshot.
  
  This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
  ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
  `PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
  `SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
  clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
  capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

• core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

  ## Why
  
  Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
  different than app-server.
  
  ## What
  
  - keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
  root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
  - expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
  in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
  - preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and

  - cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
  through host filesystem APIs
  - fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
  Windows drive letters

• Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

  ## Summary
  
  - Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
  trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
  - Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
  reconnects, and thread resume.
  - Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
  client migration.
  
  The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
  mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
  release builds, and argument-comment lint.

• Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

  Fixes #28263.
  
  ## Why
  
  When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
  goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
  `thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
  a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
  restart even though the goal itself existed.
  
  This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
  the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
  extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
  live notification.
  
  ## What
  
  - Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
  owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
  - Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
  appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
  sync.
  - When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
  update through that live-thread path.
  - Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
  `thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
  `thread/list`.
  
  ## Verification
  
  - `env -u CODEX_SQLITE_HOME just test -p codex-app-server

• [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

  ## What
  
  Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.
  
  - Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
  - Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
  `conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
  - Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
  automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
  controlled by explicit client append APIs.
  - Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
  `codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
  client-managed mode is disabled.
  
  ## Why
  
  Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
  with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
  Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
  suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
  decide exactly which updates to append.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just fmt`
  - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
  serialize_thread_realtime_start`
  - `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core --test all
  conversation_handoff_persists_across_item_done_until_turn_complete`

  - `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
  - Local Codex Apps compatibility check: 43 focused webview tests passed,
  and a live voice session routed through the source-built app-server.
  
  The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
  overflow seen with the default test environment.

  preflight failures, bundle failures, and remote catalog/backend
  failures.
  - Send classified `error_type` values in plugin install failure
  analytics instead of raw error strings.
  - Stop sending raw external-agent import errors in analytics while
  preserving raw failure details in app-facing import
  notifications/history.
  - Keep raw plugin/migration diagnostics in `tracing::warn!` logs.
  - Keep remote failure plugin names as the existing local placeholder
  (`unknown`) and remove the extra telemetry plugin-name override.
  - Change `ExternalAgentConfigImportParams.source` from a generated enum
  to `string | null`, with legacy `claudeCode` / `claudeCowork` inputs
  normalized to existing analytics values.

• unified-exec: preserve PathUri through exec-server (#28681)

  ## Why
  
  It should be possible for app-server to handle "foreign" OS paths in
  unified_exec working directories, allowing e.g. a Linux app-server to
  run processes on e.g. a Windows exec-server.
  
  ## What
  
  Convert the core unified_exec cwd values to use `PathUri`.
  
  Adds fallible path conversion in several places to try to minimize the
  scope of this change. The only time this change suppresses errors from
  converting `PathUri` to an `AbsolutePathBuf` is when the turn is
  configured with no sandboxing at all to allow us to make progress
  testing without sandboxing.
  
  Future changes to apply_patch and sandboxing will clean up these error
  paths.
  
  A tool's cwd is resolved from joining a model-provided workdir to the
  environment's cwd. When using `AbsolutePathBuf::join()`, an
  absolute-path workdir would overwrite the environment's cwd and we would
  resolve permissions/sandboxing against the model-provided path. This
  change extends `PathUri::join()` to also treat an absolute rhs as an
  override of the base/lhs.
  
  This also removes some coverage from the remove_env_windows tests until
  a follow-up converts foreign paths in command exec events correctly.
  
  ## Breaking Changes
  
  When using `AbsolutePathBuf::join()` for workdir resolution, we ended up
  resolving tilde-prefixed paths against the app-server's `$HOME`, e.g.
  `~/foo/bar` becomes `/home/anp/foo/bar`. It's difficult to do this with
  `PathUri` joining, so after offline discussion this PR no longer
  implements it.
  
  A quick check of some power users' rollouts suggests that models don't
  actually generate home-prefixed absolute working directories for their
  spawns, so this shouldn't have any real blast radius.

• Scope command approvals by execution environment (#28738)

  ## Why
  
  Command approval cache keys included the command and working directory,
  but not the execution environment. An approval for `/workspace` locally
  could therefore be reused for the same command and path on an executor.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Include the selected environment ID in shell and unified-exec approval
  cache keys.
  - Carry that ID through the normal command approval request so clients
  can show which environment is being approved.
  - Expose the environment through app-server as a required nullable
  `environmentId` and show it in the inline TUI approval prompt.
  - Keep older recorded approval events compatible when the environment is
  absent.
  
  For example, `echo ok` in local `/workspace` and `echo ok` in executor
  `/workspace` now produce different approval keys and separate prompts.
  
  ## Scope
  
  This PR does not change network approvals, Guardian review actions, MCP
  elicitation, full-screen TUI rendering, or environment-ID validation.
  Remote `shell_command` execution itself remains in #28722; this PR only
  makes its approval key environment-aware.

• Replace SkillsManager with SkillsService (#28705)

  ## Why
  
  Host skill discovery was still exposed as a manager even though it is a
  process-owned service shared by sessions, the app-server catalog, and
  file-watcher invalidation. The skills extension also consumed an ad hoc
  loaded-skills wrapper instead of a named immutable snapshot.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - replace `SkillsManager` with concrete `SkillsService`
  - make the service cache and return immutable `HostSkillsSnapshot`
  values
  - migrate the skills extension host provider to the snapshot boundary
  - migrate app-server catalog, watcher, and invalidation paths to the
  service
  
  This keeps the service limited to host discovery, caching, roots, and
  invalidation. Catalog rendering and invocation remain extension
  responsibilities for the next stacked change.

• app-server: keep the model cache warm (#28699)

  ## Why
  
  The app server is long-lived, but its shared model cache otherwise
  refreshes only when a caller needs it. Once the five-minute cache
  expires, starting a thread or calling `model/list` can wait for
  `/models` on the request path.
  
  Refresh the cache in the background before it expires so foreground
  callers normally use fresh local state.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Start an app-server worker that refreshes models immediately and then
  every three minutes using the existing models-manager API.
  - Hold only a weak reference to the models manager between refreshes, so
  the worker does not extend its lifetime.
  - Stop scheduling refreshes when the app-server lifecycle handle is shut
  down or dropped. A refresh already in progress is allowed to finish.
  - Adjust affected app-server test fixtures to distinguish the background
  `/models` probe from the connection they are testing.
  
  The existing models-manager cache, refresh strategies, auth handling,
  ETag behavior, and concurrency semantics are unchanged.

  Revert #27910 to remove the newly introduced thread `recencyAt`
  persistence and API behavior from `main`.
  
  ## What changed
  
  This reverts commit `fac3158c2a783095768076489815f361fa9b0db4`,
  including the state migration, thread-store propagation, app-server API
  surface, generated schemas, and related tests.
  
  ## Validation
  
  Not run before opening; relying on CI for the initial fast signal.

• Add thread recencyAt for sidebar ordering (#27910)

  ## Summary
  
  Add a server-owned `recencyAt` timestamp and `recency_at` thread-list
  sort key for product recency ordering while preserving the existing
  meaning of `updatedAt` as the latest persisted thread mutation.
  
  This is the server-side alternative to #27697. Rather than narrowing
  `updatedAt`, clients can sort the sidebar by `recency_at` and continue
  treating `updatedAt` as mutation time.
  
  Paired Codex Apps PR:
  [openai/openai#1024599](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1024599)
  
  ## Contract
  
  - `recencyAt` initializes when a thread is created.
  - A turn start advances `recencyAt` monotonically.
  - Commentary, agent output, tool results, token/accounting updates, turn
  completion, archive, unarchive, resume, and generic metadata writes do
  not advance it.
  - `updatedAt` retains its existing behavior and continues to advance for
  persisted thread mutations.
  - Current servers populate `recencyAt`; the response field is optional
  in generated TypeScript so clients connected to older servers can fall
  back to `updatedAt`.
  - Filesystem-only fallback uses existing updated/mtime ordering when
  SQLite is unavailable.
  
  ## Persistence and compatibility
  
  Migration 0038 adds second- and millisecond-precision recency columns,
  backfills them from the existing updated timestamp, creates list
  indexes, and includes an insert trigger so older binaries writing to a
  migrated database seed recency without causing later mutations to
  advance it.
  
  Generic metadata upserts preserve existing recency values. Turn-start
  updates use a dedicated monotonic touch, and process-local allocation
  keeps millisecond cursor values unique. State DB list, search, read,
  filtered-list repair, rollout fallback propagation, and app-server
  conversions all carry the new field.
  
  ## API
  
  `Thread` responses include:
  
  ```ts
  recencyAt?: number
  ```
  
  `thread/list` and `thread/search` accept:
  
  ```json
  { "sortKey": "recency_at" }
  ```
  
  Generated TypeScript and JSON schemas are included.

• [codex] [1/4] Add recommended plugin endpoint cache (#28399)

  Summary
  - Add authenticated parsing for `/ps/plugins/suggested?scope=GLOBAL`,

  - Validate, deduplicate, sort, and cap endpoint candidates before
  caching them by backend and account identity.
  - Deduplicate concurrent cache misses and warm recommendations from the
  existing remote-installed-plugin refresh path used at startup and after
  account changes.
  - Keep endpoint results model-invisible in this PR; failures and
  responses without `enabled: true` resolve to legacy mode.

• app-server: preserve target-native environment cwd (#28146)

  ## Why
  
  app-server may run on a different OS from the selected exec-server
  environment. Parsing that environment’s cwd with the Codex host’s path
  rules prevents thread startup.
  
  ## What
  
  Carry environment cwd values as `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
  boundary and `PathUri` internally. Existing tool-call schemas and
  relative-path behavior stay host-native; remaining local-only consumers
  convert explicitly and leave follow-up TODOs.
  
  The Wine integration test verifies app-server can start a thread and
  complete an ordinary turn with a Windows environment cwd from Linux.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `bazel test //codex-rs/core/tests/remote_env_windows:smoke-test
  --test_output=errors`
  - focused app-server environment-selection and protocol schema tests
  - scoped Clippy for `codex-core` and `codex-app-server-protocol`

• [codex-app-server-test-client & codex-app-server] Plugin Usage Analytics Smoke Test (#27099)

  ## This PR
  
  The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR
  #26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable
  analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata
  refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR establishes a
  non-mutating end-to-end plugin smoke workflow before any analytics
  identity semantics change.
  
  - Add `plugin-analytics-smoke` to the existing app-server test client.
  - Exercise plugin disable, enable, and use through production app-server
  RPC paths.
  - Isolate config writes in a temporary file and use a loopback Responses
  API server.
  - Capture analytics without sending them to the production analytics
  backend.
  - Validate the current local `plugin_id`, names, capability metadata,
  thread, turn, and model fields.
  
  This is intentionally a baseline smoke workflow. It does not assert
  `remote_plugin_id`; the final PR will update it when that field exists.
  Review this PR as the net diff against #27093.
  
  ## Testing
  
  - The test-client target compiles successfully.
  - The combined reference branch exercised the manual smoke against the
  live remote plugin service.
  - CI is green across the required platform matrix.
  
  ## Split Overview

• [codex] Record external agent import results (#28396)

  ## Summary
  - restore `externalAgentConfig/import/progress` notifications while
  keeping `externalAgentConfig/import/completed` as the must-deliver event
  - persist completed external-agent config imports in state DB by
  `importId`, including concrete success/failure details for config,
  AGENTS.md, skills, plugins, MCP servers, subagents, hooks, commands, and
  sessions
  - add `externalAgentConfig/import/readHistories` so clients can recover
  persisted import results after missing the live completion notification
  - include `errorType` on import failures in protocol
  responses/notifications and persisted DB JSON so future code can
  classify failures without another wire/storage shape change

• Use ApiPathString in app-server filesystem permission paths (#28367)

  ## Why
  
  Clients running an app-server on one OS and an exec-server on another OS
  need to be able to pass sandbox config to app-server that refers to
  resources on the executor's foreign OS.
  
  ## What
  
  `AbsolutePathBuf` can't represent these paths and we don't want users to
  be exposed to `PathUri` yet, so this moves the public app-server API to
  be expressed in terms of `ApiPathString`.
  
  Stacked on #28165.
  
  - change app-server v2 filesystem permission paths, including legacy
  read/write roots, to `ApiPathString`
  - localize API paths through `PathUri` when converting into the current
  native core permission types
  - make path-bearing permission conversions fallible and surface
  localization failures instead of silently treating malformed grants as
  ordinary denials
  - propagate conversion failures through app-server and TUI approval
  handling
  - regenerate the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas
  - leave migration TODOs on native-path conversions so they can be
  removed once core permission paths use `PathUri`

• [codex] Make plugin details capability aware (#27958)

  ## Summary
  
  Makes plugin details/read flows capability-aware so auth-filtered plugin
  surfaces report the same usable app/MCP/skill shape as the marketplace
  and install flows.
  
  ## Validation
  
  Not run; this change was rebased onto the current plugin auth stack and
  pushed as a draft PR.
  
  **Manual test**
  1. set up a local marketplace with a plugin that has both app and mcp
  declarations
  
  ```
  // .app.json
  {
    "apps": {
      "linear": {
        "id": "some_id"
      }
    }
  }
  
  ```
  
  ```
  // .mcp.json
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "linear": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp",
        "oauth_resource": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
      },
      "linear2": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.linear2.app/mcp",
        "oauth_resource": "https://mcp.linear2.app/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
  ```
  
  2a. **login in with api key** and observe plugin details page which
  shows no apps (note we don't show "app not available due to api key log
  in as there's no way to differentiate between no apps and app without
  substitute mcp exists" without significantly more code changes, i've
  separated this to a follow up if we want that behaviour.

• [codex] Load API curated marketplace by auth (#28383)

  ## Summary
  - choose the local OpenAI curated marketplace manifest based on auth:
  Codex backend auth gets the existing marketplace, direct provider auth
  gets `api_marketplace.json`
  - include Bedrock API key auth in the direct-provider API marketplace
  path
  - safely skip the API marketplace when `api_marketplace.json` is absent
  
  ## Validation
  - `just fmt`
  - `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD`
  - CI should run the full validation
  
  ## Manual Testing
  
  ### - New api marketplace not available for API key sign
  1. Safely not display anything from api marketplace
  <img width="1161" height="289" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-15 at 21 37 43"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a5f16642-8a20-4ac1-a0de-1274a4c7b5b2"
  />
  
  ### - New api marketplace for API key sign in
  1. Setup api_marketplace.json
  ```
  {
    "name": "openai-curated",
    "interface": {
      "displayName": "Codex official"
    },
    "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "linear",
        "source": {
          "source": "local",
          "path": "./plugins/linear"
        },
        "policy": {
          "installation": "AVAILABLE",
          "authentication": "ON_INSTALL"
        },
        "category": "Productivity"
      }
    ]
  }
  ```
  
  2. Log in with API key, observe that only the defined plugin from
  api_marketplace.json is available from "Codex Official" (outside of
  local testing marketplaces)
  <img width="1167" height="446" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-15 at 21 16 53"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7cf61477-d826-4ef6-bc05-0a23ac1c0259"
  />
  
  also checked functionality on codex app
  
  ### - SiWC users 
  Still uses 'default' marketplace.json and renders all plugins
  <img width="1171" height="502" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-15 at 21 40 25"
  src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d212ea9b-0aa5-470b-8ea4-450efe65bb2b"
  />
  
  also checked functionality on codex app
  
  
  ## Notes
  - `just test -p codex-core-plugins` was started locally before splitting
  branches, but I stopped relying on local tests per follow-up and left
  final validation to PR CI.

• Add a toggle for realtime startup context (#28405)

  ## Summary
  - Add `includeStartupContext` to realtime start requests so callers can
  explicitly skip Codex startup context while keeping the backend prompt
  - Thread the new flag through protocol types, request processing, and
  realtime session config
  - Update app-server docs and coverage for the new default and opt-out
  behavior
  
  ## Testing
  - Added protocol serialization coverage for `includeStartupContext`
  - Added realtime integration coverage for starting a session with
  startup context disabled

• Add realtime speech append control (#27917)

  ## Why
  
  Realtime voice harness tuning needs app-side control over what backend
  Codex text is spoken. Backend orchestrator text is written for a reading
  UI, so automatically speaking every preamble, progress update, or final
  assistant message can make the realtime voice model too chatty.
  
  For experimentation, clients need two simple controls: keep app/client
  text-item injection on the existing item-create path, and add an
  explicit speakable path that app code can call only when it wants
  realtime to speak. Automatic Codex output also needs an opt-in way to
  switch from the protocol's default speakable path to regular realtime
  items, with a caller-provided prefix so prompt wording can be tuned
  outside core.
  
  The default remains unchanged: if a client omits the new start fields
  and never calls `appendSpeech`, automatic backend output continues down
  the existing speakable path for the selected realtime protocol.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - Adds experimental `thread/realtime/appendSpeech` for app-provided
  speakable text.
  - Keeps existing `thread/realtime/appendText` as the item-create API for
  app-provided realtime text items.
  - Adds `codexResponsesAsItems` / `codex_responses_as_items` on
  `thread/realtime/start` to send automatic Codex responses with
  `conversation.item.create` instead of the protocol's default speakable
  output path.
  - Adds `codexResponseItemPrefix` / `codex_response_item_prefix` so
  clients can prepend experiment instructions to those automatic Codex
  response items.
  - Keeps literal `conversation.handoff.append` routing scoped to the v1
  speakable path; v2 default speech uses its item/function-output plus
  `response.create` behavior.
  - Removes the earlier public silent-context API and hardcoded
  silent-context prefix.
  - Updates realtime tests to cover default automatic speakable behavior,
  opt-in automatic item-create behavior, and explicit `appendSpeech`
  behavior.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `cargo check -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-api`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server realtime_conversation`
  - `just test -p codex-core realtime_conversation` (50/51 passed in the

• feat(app-server): expose rate-limit reset credits (#28143)

  ## Why
  
  Codex users can earn personal rate-limit reset credits, but app-server
  clients do not currently have an API for reading or redeeming them. This
  adds the backend and protocol foundation used by the `/usage` TUI flow
  in #28154.
  
  ## What changed
  
  - Extend `account/rateLimits/read` with a nullable
  `rateLimitResetCredits` summary sourced from the existing usage
  response.
  - Add backend-client and app-server support for consuming a reset with a
  caller-generated idempotency key. A UUID is recommended, and clients
  reuse the same key when retrying the same logical reset.
  - Return only the consume `outcome`; clients refetch
  `account/rateLimits/read` for updated window state.
  - Document the response field and each consume outcome, and regenerate
  the JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
  - Clarify in `AGENTS.md` that new app-server string enum values use
  camelCase on the wire.
  - Update the existing TUI response fixture for the expanded protocol
  shape.
  - Add coverage for authentication, response mapping, backend failures,
  consume outcomes, and request timeout behavior.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` — 231 passed.
  - `just test -p codex-backend-client` — 14 passed.
  - Focused `codex-app-server` reset-credit tests — 5 passed.
  - Focused `codex-tui` protocol response fixture test — passed.
  - `just fix -p codex-backend-client -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
  codex-app-server` — passed.
  - `just fmt` — passed.

• [codex] Add external agent import result accounting (#28008)

  ## Why
  
  External-agent imports can complete synchronously or continue in the
  background for plugins/sessions. Clients need a stable import id to
  correlate the immediate response with the eventual completion
  notification, and the completion payload needs enough accounting to show
  which artifact types succeeded or failed without hiding partial
  failures.
  
  ## What Changed
  
  - `externalAgentConfig/import` now returns an `importId`;
  `externalAgentConfig/import/completed` includes the same `importId` plus
  type-level `itemResults`.
  - Completed `itemResults` report `successCount`, `errorCount`,
  `successes`, and `rawErrors` for each migrated item type.
  - Added protocol/schema/TypeScript types for import successes, raw
  errors, and type-level results. No progress notification is included in
  the final PR.
  - `ExternalAgentConfigService::import` now returns an outcome object
  with synchronous item results and pending plugin imports.
  - Plugin import outcomes track succeeded/failed marketplaces, plugin
  ids, and raw errors. Plugin failures can be reported in completed
  accounting while later migration items continue.
  - Non-plugin synchronous import failures still fail the request, so
  invalid config/skills-style failures are not reported as a successful
  import response.
  - Session imports now return item results. Successful imports include
  the source session path and imported thread id; prepare, persist,
  ledger, and source-validation failures become raw errors in completion
  accounting where the import can continue.
  - The request processor generates the `importId`, aggregates synchronous
  results with background plugin/session results, and sends a single
  completed notification when all selected work is done.
  - App-server docs and generated schema fixtures were updated for the new
  response/completed payload shapes.
  
  ## Validation
  
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
  - `just test -p codex-app-server-client event_requires_delivery`
  - `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-review-sync-error
  just test -p codex-app-server
  external_agent_config_import_returns_error_for_failed_sync_import`
  - `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-review-external-agent
  just test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config`
  
  Note: local sandbox validation used `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME` because the
  default sqlite state path is read-only in this environment.
