## Description This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`. This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on `thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server. ## What changed - Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`, defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`. - Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the existing SQLite `threads` table. - Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and `thread/start`. - Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create paths. - Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and fail-closed behavior. ## Compatibility floor Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change how thread storage reads and writes work. The overall plan here: ``` Release N: - Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata. - Teach binaries to understand paginated threads. - If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread. - Default remains `"legacy"`. Release N+1: - First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate. - Internal dogfood / staged rollout. - Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors. Release N+2: - Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default. - Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads. ``` The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we will: - allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and `thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread and inspect its `historyMode` - reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like `thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported JSON-RPC error - avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy` Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N: future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
codex-core
This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.
Wine-exec integration tests
On x86-64 Linux, run the shared suite against the Windows exec server with
bazel test //codex-rs/core:core-all-wine-exec-test.
Local execution targets the host OS, Docker targets Linux, and Wine exec targets Windows. Choose the skip macro by what the test depends on:
skip_if_target_windows!: Windows target behavior.skip_if_host_windows!: Windows host constraints.skip_if_remote!: Local-only test behavior.skip_if_no_remote_env!: Remote-only test behavior.skip_if_wine_exec!: Wine-specific runner debt.
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 keeps the legacy default preferences read access
(user-preference-read) needed for cfprefs-backed macOS behavior.
Linux
Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on Linux.
They can continue to use the legacy Landlock path when the split filesystem
policy is sandbox-equivalent to the legacy model after cwd resolution.
Split filesystem policies that need direct FileSystemSandboxPolicy
enforcement, such as read-only or denied carveouts under a broader writable
root, automatically route through bubblewrap. The legacy Landlock path is used
only when the split filesystem policy round-trips through the legacy
SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics. That includes overlapping
cases like /repo = write, /repo/a = none, /repo/a/b = write, where the
more specific writable child must reopen under a denied parent.
The Linux sandbox helper prefers the first bwrap found on PATH outside the
current working directory whenever it is available. If bwrap is present but
too old to support --argv0, the helper keeps using system bubblewrap and
switches to a no---argv0 compatibility path for the inner re-exec. If
bwrap is missing, it falls back to the bundled codex-resources/bwrap
binary shipped with Codex and Codex surfaces a startup warning through its
normal notification path instead of printing directly from the sandbox helper.
Codex also surfaces a startup warning when bubblewrap cannot create user
namespaces. WSL2 uses the normal Linux bubblewrap path. WSL1 is not supported
for bubblewrap sandboxing because it cannot create the required user
namespaces, so Codex rejects sandboxed shell commands that would enter the
bubblewrap path before invoking bwrap.
Windows
Legacy SandboxPolicy / sandbox_mode configs are still supported on
Windows. Legacy read-only and workspace-write policies imply full
filesystem read access; exact readable roots are represented by split
filesystem policies instead.
The elevated Windows sandbox also supports:
- legacy
ReadOnlyandWorkspaceWritebehavior - split filesystem policies that need exact readable roots, exact writable roots, or extra read-only carveouts under writable roots
- backend-managed system read roots required for basic execution, such as
C:\Windows,C:\Program Files,C:\Program Files (x86), andC:\ProgramData, when a split filesystem policy requests platform defaults
The unelevated restricted-token backend still supports the legacy full-read
Windows model for legacy ReadOnly and WorkspaceWrite behavior. It also
supports a narrow split-filesystem subset: full-read split policies whose
writable roots still match the legacy WorkspaceWrite root set, but add extra
read-only carveouts under those writable roots.
New [permissions] / split filesystem policies remain supported on Windows
only when they can be enforced directly by the selected Windows backend or
round-trip through the legacy SandboxPolicy model without changing semantics.
Policies that would require direct explicit unreadable carveouts (none) or
reopened writable descendants under read-only carveouts still fail closed
instead of running with weaker enforcement.
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.
