## Why **In short:** this PR resolves already-discovered MCP registrations. It does not read selected plugins or discover their MCP servers. The resolved MCP catalog currently builds config and auto-discovered plugin registrations before runtime contributors are applied. A thread-selected plugin needs a distinct precedence tier in that same initial resolution pass: otherwise a disabled lower-precedence winner can leave stale name-level state behind, and the winning MCP tools cannot be attributed to the selected package reliably. This PR adds that catalog boundary before executor discovery is connected. ## What changed - Added an explicit selected-plugin registration tier between auto-discovered plugins and explicit config. - Collected selected-plugin contributions before the initial catalog build, while leaving compatibility and generic extension overlays in their existing runtime phase. - Retained the winning plugin ID and display name directly on plugin-owned catalog registrations. - Derived MCP tool provenance from the winning catalog entry instead of joining against local-only plugin summaries. - Retained the winning selected server's tool approval policy in the running connection manager, so a selected registration cannot inherit approval behavior from a losing local plugin. - Kept remembered approval session-scoped for selected plugins until there is an authority-aware persistence contract; Codex will not write approval back to an unrelated local plugin. - Preserved existing name-level disabled vetoes for discovered plugins and config, while keeping a selected package's own disabled registration scoped to that registration. - Preserved deterministic selection order and existing config, compatibility, and extension precedence. The resulting order is: ```text auto-discovered plugin < selected plugin < explicit config < compatibility registration < extension overlay ``` ## Behavior and scope This is a catalog and provenance change only. No production host contributes selected-plugin MCP registrations yet, so existing local MCP behavior remains unchanged. The stacked follow-up, #27870, installs the executor plugin provider that produces these registrations. App-server activation remains a separate final step. ## Verification Focused tests cover precedence, deterministic selected-plugin conflicts, disabled-veto behavior across catalog phases, managed requirements before selected-plugin resolution, winning-server approval policy, and attribution when local and selected packages share an ID or server name. CI owns execution of the test suite.
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 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.
