Anton Panasenko 02abd9a8ea feat: persist and restore codex app's tools after search (#11780)
### What changed
1. Removed per-turn MCP selection reset in `core/src/tasks/mod.rs`.
2. Added `SessionState::set_mcp_tool_selection(Vec<String>)` in
`core/src/state/session.rs` for authoritative restore behavior (deduped,
order-preserving, empty clears).
3. Added rollout parsing in `core/src/codex.rs` to recover
`active_selected_tools` from prior `search_tool_bm25` outputs:
   - tracks matching `call_id`s
   - parses function output text JSON
   - extracts `active_selected_tools`
   - latest valid payload wins
   - malformed/non-matching payloads are ignored
4. Applied restore logic to resumed and forked startup paths in
`core/src/codex.rs`.
5. Updated instruction text to session/thread scope in
`core/templates/search_tool/tool_description.md`.
6. Expanded tests in `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs`, plus unit
coverage in:
   - `core/src/codex.rs`
   - `core/src/state/session.rs`

### Behavior after change
1. Search activates matched tools.
2. Additional searches union into active selection.
3. Selection survives new turns in the same thread.
4. Resume/fork restores selection from rollout history.
5. Separate threads do not inherit selection unless forked.

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.

Network access and filesystem read/write roots are controlled by SandboxPolicy. Seatbelt consumes the resolved policy and enforces it.

Seatbelt also supports macOS permission-profile extensions layered on top of SandboxPolicy:

  • no extension profile provided: keeps legacy default preferences read access (user-preference-read).
  • extension profile provided with no macos_preferences grant: does not add preferences access clauses.
  • macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses and user-preference-read.
  • macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plus user-preference-write and cfprefs shm write clauses.
  • macos_automation = true: enables broad Apple Events send permissions.
  • macos_automation = ["com.apple.Notes", ...]: enables Apple Events send only to listed bundle IDs.
  • macos_accessibility = true: enables com.apple.axserver mach lookup.
  • macos_calendar = true: enables com.apple.CalendarAgent mach lookup.

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.
