Yuvraj Angad SinghandGitHub 004a74940a fix: send non-null content on elicitation Accept (#9196)
## Summary

- When a user accepts an MCP elicitation request, send `content:
Some(json!({}))` instead of `None`
- MCP servers that use elicitation expect content to be present when
action is Accept
- This matches the expected behavior shown in tests at
`exec-server/tests/common/lib.rs:171`

## Root Cause

In `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`, the `resolve_elicitation` function
always sent `content: None`:

```rust
let response = ElicitationResponse {
    action,
    content: None,  // Always None, even for Accept
};
```

## Fix

Send an empty object when accepting:

```rust
let content = match action {
    ElicitationAction::Accept => Some(serde_json::json!({})),
    ElicitationAction::Decline | ElicitationAction::Cancel => None,
};
```

## Test plan

- [x] Code compiles with `cargo check -p codex-core`
- [x] Formatted with `just fmt`
- [ ] Integration test `accept_elicitation_for_prompt_rule` (requires
MCP server binary)

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
