## Summary
Add original-resolution support for `view_image` behind the
under-development `view_image_original_resolution` feature flag.
When the flag is enabled and the target model is `gpt-5.3-codex` or
newer, `view_image` now preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes and sends
`detail: "original"` to the Responses API instead of using the legacy
resize/compress path.
## What changed
- Added `view_image_original_resolution` as an under-development feature
flag.
- Added `ImageDetail` to the protocol models and support for serializing
`detail: "original"` on tool-returned images.
- Added `PromptImageMode::Original` to `codex-utils-image`.
- Preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes.
- Keeps legacy behavior for the resize path.
- Updated `view_image` to:
- use the shared `local_image_content_items_with_label_number(...)`
helper in both code paths
- select original-resolution mode only when:
- the feature flag is enabled, and
- the model slug parses as `gpt-5.3-codex` or newer
- Kept local user image attachments on the existing resize path; this
change is specific to `view_image`.
- Updated history/image accounting so only `detail: "original"` images
use the docs-based GPT-5 image cost calculation; legacy images still use
the old fixed estimate.
- Added JS REPL guidance, gated on the same feature flag, to prefer JPEG
at 85% quality unless lossless is required, while still allowing other
formats when explicitly requested.
- Updated tests and helper code that construct
`FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage` to carry the new `detail`
field.
## Behavior
### Feature off
- `view_image` keeps the existing resize/re-encode behavior.
- History estimation keeps the existing fixed-cost heuristic.
### Feature on + `gpt-5.3-codex+`
- `view_image` sends original-resolution images with `detail:
"original"`.
- PNG/JPEG/WebP source bytes are preserved when possible.
- History estimation uses the GPT-5 docs-based image-cost calculation
for those `detail: "original"` images.

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_accessibility = true: enablescom.apple.axservermach lookup.macos_calendar = true: enablescom.apple.CalendarAgentmach 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.
