## Summary This PR keeps app-server RPC request trace context alive for the full lifetime of the work that request kicks off (e.g. for `thread/start`, this is `app-server rpc handler -> tokio background task -> core op submissions`). Previously we lose trace lineage once the request handler returns or hands work off to background tasks. This approach is especially relevant for `thread/start` and other RPC handlers that run in a non-blocking way. In the near future we'll most likely want to make all app-server handlers run in a non-blocking way by default, and only queue operations that must operate in order (e.g. thread RPCs per thread?), so we want to make sure tracing in app-server just generally works. Depends on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14300 **Before** <img width="155" height="207" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9487459-36f1-436c-beb7-fafeb40737af" /> **After** <img width="299" height="337" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/727392b2-d072-4427-9dc4-0502d8652dea" /> ## What changed - Keep request-scoped trace context around until we send the final response or error, or the connection closes. - Thread that trace context through detached `thread/start` work so background startup stays attached to the originating request. - Pass request trace context through to downstream core operations, including: - thread creation - resume/fork flows - turn submission - review - interrupt - realtime conversation operations - Add tracing tests that verify: - remote W3C trace context is preserved for `thread/start` - remote W3C trace context is preserved for `turn/start` - downstream core spans stay under the originating request span - request-scoped tracing state is cleaned up correctly - Clean up shutdown behavior so detached background tasks and spawned threads are drained before process exit.
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_preferencesgrant: does not add preferences access clauses. macos_preferences = "readonly": enables cfprefs read clauses anduser-preference-read.macos_preferences = "readwrite": includes readonly clauses plususer-preference-writeand 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_launch_services = true: enables LaunchServices lookups and open/launch operations.macos_accessibility = true: enablescom.apple.axservermach lookup.macos_calendar = true: enablescom.apple.CalendarAgentmach lookup.macos_contacts = "read_only": enables Address Book read access and Contacts read services.macos_contacts = "read_write": includes the readonly Contacts clauses plus Address Book writes and keychain/temp helpers required for writes.
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.
