## Why
`code_mode_only` filters code-mode nested tools out of the top-level
tool list. For multi-agent v2, we need a rollout shape where the
collaboration tools remain callable as normal model tools without also
being embedded into the code-mode `exec` tool declaration.
Related to this:

## What Changed
- Adds `features.multi_agent_v2.non_code_mode_only`, including config
resolution, profile override handling, and generated schema coverage.
- Introduces `ToolExposure::DirectModelOnly` so a tool can be included
in the initial model-visible list while staying out of the nested
code-mode tool surface.
- Applies that exposure to the multi-agent v2 tools when the new flag is
set: `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, `wait_agent`,
`close_agent`, and `list_agents`.
- Updates code-mode-only filtering so direct-model-only tools remain
visible while ordinary nested code-mode tools are still hidden.
## Verification
- Added config parsing/profile tests for `non_code_mode_only`.
- Added tool spec coverage for the code-mode-only multi-agent v2
exposure behavior.
## Why
`UnavailableDummyTools` kept synthetic placeholder tools alive for
historical tool calls whose backing MCP tool was no longer available.
That path adds stale model-visible tool specs and special routing at the
point where unavailable MCP calls should use ordinary current-tool
handling. This removes the runtime backfill instead of preserving a
second compatibility lane.
## Is it safe to remove?
The unavailable tools were added in #17853 after a CS issue when a
previously-called MCP tool failed to load and was omitted from the CS
spec. Now that we have tool search, I think this is resolved:
- API merges tools from previous TST output into effective tool set so
theyre always in CS spec
- if an MCP tool surfaced by TST later becomes unavailable, the model
can still call it and it will just return model-visible error
- both TST output and function call output are dropped on compaction so
model will not remember old calls to MCP post compaction
## What changed
- Delete unavailable-tool collection, placeholder handler, router/spec
plumbing, and obsolete placeholder coverage.
- Keep `features.unavailable_dummy_tools` as a removed no-op feature
tombstone so existing configs still parse cleanly.
- Add an integration-style `tool_search` regression test showing that a
deferred MCP tool surfaced through `tool_search` still routes through
MCP and returns a model-visible tool-call error rather than `unsupported
call`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core tool_search`
- Adds localVersion to plugin summaries and remoteVersion to share
context, including generated API schemas.
- Hydrates local and remote plugin versions from manifests and remote
release metadata.
- Adds default-on plugin_sharing gate for shared-with-me listing and
plugin/share/save, with disabled-path errors
and focused coverage.
## Why
`remote_control` can appear in `config.toml`, CLI feature overrides, and
the app-server config APIs. Before this PR, app-server startup treated
`config.features.enabled(Feature::RemoteControl)` as the signal to start
remote control ([base
code](5e3ee5eddf/codex-rs/app-server/src/lib.rs (L678-L680))).
That meant a user with:
```toml
[features]
remote_control = true
```
would accidentally opt every app-server process into remote control.
Remote-control startup should instead be a per-process launch decision
made by CLI flags.
## What Changed
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as `Stage::Removed`, keeping
`remote_control` as a known compatibility key while making it
config-inert.
- Adds a hidden `--remote-control` process flag to `codex app-server`
and standalone `codex-app-server`.
- Plumbs that flag through
`AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and makes app-server
startup use only that runtime option to decide whether to start remote
control.
- Removes the app-server config mutation hook that reloaded config and
toggled remote control at runtime.
- Updates managed daemon spawning to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://` instead of `--enable remote_control`.
Config APIs can still list, read, write, and set `remote_control`; those
operations just no longer affect remote-control process enrollment.
## Summary
- make workspace owner nudge handling unconditional in the TUI now that
it is fully rolled out
- keep `workspace_owner_usage_nudge` as a removed no-op compatibility
flag so old configs/app overrides remain accepted during rollout
- remove flag-disabled test setup
## Companion PR
- https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/876351 removes the Codex Apps

- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui status_and_layout`
## Why
The permissions migration is making
`permissions.<profile>.network.enabled` the canonical sandbox network
bit, while proxy startup is a separate concern. Enabling network access
should not implicitly start the proxy, and users who are still on legacy
sandbox modes need a separate place to opt into proxy startup and
provide proxy-specific settings.
This follow-up to #19900 gives the network proxy its own feature surface
instead of overloading permission-profile network semantics.
## What changed
- Add an experimental `network_proxy` feature with a configurable
`[features.network_proxy]` table.
- Overlay `features.network_proxy` settings onto the configured proxy
state after permission-profile selection, so the proxy only starts when
the active `NetworkSandboxPolicy` already allows network access.
- Preserve `[experimental_network]` startup behavior independently of
the new feature flag.
## Behavior and examples
There are now three related knobs:
- `permissions.<profile>.network.enabled` controls whether the active
permission profile has network access at all.
- `features.network_proxy` enables proxy restrictions for an
already-network-enabled profile.
- Legacy `sandbox_mode` plus `[sandbox_workspace_write].network_access`
still control whether legacy `workspace-write` has network access at
all.
The rule is:
- network off + proxy flag on -> network stays off, proxy is a no-op
- network on + proxy flag off -> unrestricted direct network
- network on + proxy flag on -> network stays on, with proxy
restrictions applied
For permission profiles, the feature toggle adds proxy restrictions only
when network access is already enabled:
```toml
default_permissions = "workspace"
[permissions.workspace.filesystem]
":minimal" = "read"
[permissions.workspace.network]
enabled = true
[features]
network_proxy = true
```
If `network.enabled = false`, the same feature flag is a no-op: network
remains off and the proxy does not start.
For legacy sandbox config, `network_access` remains the master switch:
```toml
sandbox_mode = "workspace-write"
[sandbox_workspace_write]
network_access = true
[features]
network_proxy = true
```
That keeps legacy `workspace-write` network access on, but routes it
through the proxy policy. If `network_access = false`, the proxy feature
is a no-op and legacy `workspace-write` remains offline.
The same proxy opt-in can be supplied from the CLI:
```bash
codex -c 'features.network_proxy=true'
```
Additional proxy settings can be supplied when a table is needed:
```bash
codex \
-c 'features.network_proxy.enabled=true' \
-c 'features.network_proxy.enable_socks5=false'
```
The intended behavior matrix is:
| Config surface | Network setting | `features.network_proxy` | Direct
sandbox network | Proxy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = false` | off | restricted |
off |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = false` | on | restricted | off
|
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = true` | off | enabled | off |
| Permission profile | `network.enabled = true` | on | enabled | on |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = false` | off | restricted
| off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = false` | on | restricted
| off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = true` | off | enabled |
off |
| Legacy `workspace-write` | `network_access = true` | on | enabled | on
|
`[experimental_network]` requirements remain separate from the user
feature toggle and still start the proxy on their own.
Relevant code:
-
[`features/src/feature_configs.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/features/src/feature_configs.rs#L58-L117)
defines the feature-specific proxy config.
-
[`core/src/config/mod.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L1959-L1964)
reads the feature table, and [later applies it only when network access
is already
enabled](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/43785aff47/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L2448-L2458).
## Verification
Added focused coverage for:
- keeping the proxy off when `features.network_proxy` is enabled but
sandbox network access is disabled
- the full permission-profile and legacy `workspace-write` matrix above
- preserving `[experimental_network]` startup without the feature
- reusing profile-supplied proxy settings when the feature is enabled

This PR replaces the TUI’s file-only `@mention` popup with a unified
mentions experience. Typing `@...` now searches across filesystem
matches, installed plugins, and skills in one popup, with result types
clearly labeled and selectable from the same flow.
- Adds a unified `@mentions` popup that returns:
- plugins
- skills
- files
- directories
- Adds search modes so users can narrow the popup without changing their
query:
- All Results _(default/same as Codex App)_
- Filesystem Only
- Plugins _(...and skills)_
- Preserves existing insertion behavior:
- selected file paths are inserted into the prompt
- paths with spaces are quoted
- image file selections still attach as images when possible
- selecting a plugin or skill inserts the corresponding `$name`
- the composer records the canonical mention binding, such as
`plugin://...` or the skill path
- Expanded `@mentions` rendering:
- type tags for Plugin, Skill, File, and Dir
- distinct plugin/filesystem colors
- stable fixed-height layout (8 rows)
- truncation behavior for narrow terminals
Note:
- The unified mentions popup does not display app connectors under
`@mention` results for Codex App parity. Connector mentions remain
available through the existing `$mention` path.

## Summary
- Add a `response.processed` websocket request payload and sender for
Responses API websockets.

## Why
This adds the `remote_compaction_v2` client path so remote compaction
can run through the normal Responses stream and install a
`context_compaction` item that trigger a compaction.
The goal is to migrate some of the compaction logic on the client side
We keeps the v2 transport behind a feature flag while letting follow-up
requests reuse the compacted context instead of falling back to the
legacy compaction item shape.
## What changed
- add `ResponseItem::ContextCompaction` and refresh the generated
app-server / schema / TypeScript fixtures that expose response items on
the wire
- add `core/src/compact_remote_v2.rs` to send compaction through the
standard streamed Responses client, require exactly one
`context_compaction` output item, and install that item into compacted
history
- route manual compact and auto-compaction through the v2 path when
`remote_compaction_v2` is enabled, while keeping the existing remote
compaction path as the fallback
- preserve the new item type across history retention, follow-up request
construction, telemetry, rollout persistence, and rollout-trace
normalization
- add targeted coverage for the feature flag, `context_compaction`
serialization, rollout-trace normalization, and remote-compaction
follow-up behavior
## Verification
- added protocol tests for `context_compaction`
serialization/deserialization in `protocol/src/models.rs`
- added rollout-trace coverage for `context_compaction` normalization in
`rollout-trace/src/reducer/conversation_tests.rs`
- added remote compaction integration coverage for v2 follow-up reuse
and mixed compaction output streams in
`core/tests/suite/compact_remote.rs`

## Why
For reproducibility. A hand-written `config.toml` is not enough to
recreate what a Codex session actually ran with because layered config,
CLI overrides, defaults, feature aliases, resolved feature config,
prompt setup, and model-catalog/session values can all affect the final
runtime behavior.
This PR adds an effective config lockfile path: one run can export the
resolved session config, and a later run can replay that lockfile and
fail early if the regenerated effective config drifts.
## What Changed
- Add a dedicated `ConfigLockfileToml` wrapper with top-level lockfile
metadata plus the replayable config:
```toml
version = 1
codex_version = "..."
[config]
# effective ConfigToml fields
```
- Keep lockfile metadata out of regular `ConfigToml`; replay loads
`ConfigLockfileToml` and then uses its nested `config` as the
authoritative config layer.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.export_dir` to write
`<thread_id>.config.lock.toml` when a root session starts.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.load_path` to replay a saved lockfile and
validate the regenerated session lockfile against it.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.allow_codex_version_mismatch` to optionally
tolerate Codex binary version drift while still comparing the rest of
the lockfile.
- Add `debug.config_lockfile.save_fields_resolved_from_model_catalog` so
lock creation can either save model-catalog/session-resolved fields or
intentionally leave those fields dynamic.
- Build lockfiles from the effective config plus resolved runtime values
such as model selection, reasoning settings, prompts, service tier, web
search mode, feature states/config, memories config, skill instructions,
and agent limits.
- Materialize feature aliases and custom feature config into the
lockfile so replay compares canonical resolved behavior instead of
user-authored alias shape.
- Strip profile/debug/file-include/environment-specific inputs from
generated lockfiles so they contain replayable values rather than the
inputs that produced those values.
- Surface JSON-RPC server error code/data in app-server client and TUI
bootstrap errors so config-lock replay failures include the actual TOML
diff.
- Regenerate the config schema for the new debug config keys.
## Review Notes
The main flow is split across these files:
- `config/src/config_toml.rs`: lockfile/debug TOML shapes.
- `core/src/config/mod.rs`: loading `debug.config_lockfile.*`, replaying
a lockfile as a config layer, and preserving the expected lockfile for
validation.
- `core/src/session/config_lock.rs`: exporting the current session
lockfile and materializing resolved session/config values.
- `core/src/config_lock.rs`: lockfile parsing, metadata/version checks,
replay comparison, and diff formatting.
## Usage
Export a lockfile from a normal session:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.export_dir="/tmp/codex-locks"'
```
Export a lockfile without saving model-catalog/session-resolved fields:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.export_dir="/tmp/codex-locks"' \
-c 'debug.config_lockfile.save_fields_resolved_from_model_catalog=false'
```
Replay a saved lockfile in a later session:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.load_path="/tmp/codex-locks/<thread_id>.config.lock.toml"'
```
If replay resolves to a different effective config, startup fails with a
TOML diff.
To tolerate Codex binary version drift during replay:
```sh
codex -c 'debug.config_lockfile.load_path="/tmp/codex-locks/<thread_id>.config.lock.toml"' \
-c 'debug.config_lockfile.allow_codex_version_mismatch=true'
```
## Limitations
This does not support custom rules/network policies.

# Why
The hooks feature flag should use the concise canonical name `hooks`,
while existing configs that still use `codex_hooks` continue to work
during the rename.
# What
- change the canonical `Feature::CodexHooks` key from `codex_hooks` to
`hooks`
- register `codex_hooks` through the existing legacy-alias path
- update the config schema and canonical config fixtures to prefer
`hooks`
- add regression coverage that both `hooks` and `codex_hooks` resolve to
`Feature::CodexHooks`
# Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config::schema_tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core

## Summary
- Adds a separate feature control for external-browser Browser Use
integrations.
- Registers `browser_use_external` as a stable, default-enabled
requirements-owned feature key.
- Updates feature registry tests and regenerates the config schema.
Codex validation:
- `cargo fmt -- --config imports_granularity=Item`
- `cargo run -p codex-core --bin codex-write-config-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
## Addendum
This gives enterprise policy a coarse control for Browser Use outside
the Codex-managed in-app browser. The existing `browser_use` feature is
the Browser Use control, while `browser_use_external` can gate
extension/native integrations for external browsers as that surface
grows
## Why
The `goals` feature flag is ready to move out of the hidden
under-development bucket and into the user-facing experimental surface.
Marking it experimental lets users discover it through the experimental
features UI while still making clear that it is opt-in.
## What changed
- Changed `goals` from `Stage::UnderDevelopment` to
`Stage::Experimental` in `codex-rs/features/src/lib.rs`.
- Added experimental menu metadata for the feature with the description
`Set a persistent goal Codex can continue over time`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
Summary
- Add `[features.apps_mcp_path_override]` config with a `path` field for
overriding only the built-in apps MCP path.
- Keep existing host/base URL derivation unchanged and append the
configured path after that base.
- Regenerate the config schema with the custom feature-config case.
Test Plan
- Not run for latest revision; only `just fmt` and `just
write-config-schema` were run.
- Earlier revision: `cargo test -p codex-features`
- Earlier revision: `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
## Why
Plugins can bundle lifecycle hooks, but Codex previously only discovered
hooks from user, project, and managed config layers. This adds the
plugin discovery and runtime plumbing needed for plugin-bundled hooks
while keeping execution behind the `plugin_hooks` feature flag.
## What
- Discovers plugin hook sources from each plugin's default
`hooks/hooks.json`.
- Supports `plugin.json` manifest `hooks` entries as either relative
paths or inline hook objects.
- Plumbs discovered plugin hook sources through plugin loading into the
hook runtime when `plugin_hooks` is enabled.
- Marks plugin-originated hook runs as `HookSource::Plugin`.
- Injects `PLUGIN_ROOT` and `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` into plugin hook
command environments.
- Updates generated schemas and hook source metadata for the plugin hook
source.

4. openai/codex#19882
## Reviewer Notes
- Core logic is in `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader.rs` and
`codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
- Moved existing / adding new tests to
`codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader_tests.rs` hence the large diff there
- Otherwise mostly plumbing and minor schema updates
### Core Changes
The `codex-rs/core` changes are limited to wiring plugin hook support
into existing core flows:
- `core/src/session/session.rs` conditionally pulls effective plugin
hook sources and plugin hook load warnings from `PluginsManager` when
`plugin_hooks` is enabled, then passes them into `HooksConfig`.
- `core/src/hook_runtime.rs` adds the `plugin` metric tag for
`HookSource::Plugin`.
- `core/config.schema.json` picks up the new `plugin_hooks` feature
flag, and `core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs` updates fixtures for the
added plugin hook fields.

## Why
MultiAgentV2 `wait_agent` currently clamps short waits to a fixed 10
second minimum. That default is still useful for preventing tight
polling loops, but it is too rigid for environments that need faster
mailbox wake-up checks or a larger minimum to discourage frequent
polling.
This PR makes the minimum wait timeout configurable from the existing
MultiAgentV2 feature config section, so operators can tune the behavior
without changing the legacy multi-agent tool surface.
## What Changed
- Added `features.multi_agent_v2.min_wait_timeout_ms`.
- Defaulted the new setting to the existing 10 second floor.
- Validated the configured value as `1..=3600000`, matching the existing
one hour maximum wait bound.
- Applied the configured minimum to MultiAgentV2 `wait_agent` runtime
clamping.
- Plumbed the configured minimum into the `wait_agent` tool schema,
including the effective default when the minimum is above the normal 30
second default.
- Regenerated `core/config.schema.json`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib multi_agent_v2`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
MultiAgentV2 sessions need startup guidance that matches the role of the
thread that is actually being created. Root agents and subagents have
different responsibilities, and forked subagents can inherit parent
rollout history. If the parent hint is carried into the child context,
the child can see stale or conflicting developer guidance before its own
session-specific context is added.
## What changed
- Added `features.multi_agent_v2.root_agent_usage_hint_text` and
`features.multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text` config fields,
including schema/config parsing support.
- Injected the matching root or subagent hint into the initial context
as its own developer message when `multi_agent_v2` is enabled.
- Filtered configured MultiAgentV2 usage-hint developer messages out of
forked parent history so a child thread receives fresh guidance for its
own session source/config.
- Added targeted coverage for config parsing, initial-context rendering,
feature-config deserialization, and forked-history filtering.
## Context examples
With this config:
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
root_agent_usage_hint_text = "Root guidance."
subagent_usage_hint_text = "Subagent guidance."
```
A root thread initial context renders the root hint as a standalone
developer message:
```text
[developer]
<existing developer context, when present>
[developer]
Root guidance.
```
A subagent thread initial context renders the subagent hint instead:
```text
[developer]
<existing developer context, when present>
[developer]
Subagent guidance.
```
When a subagent forks parent history, any parent developer message whose
text exactly matches the configured MultiAgentV2 root or subagent hint
is omitted from the forked history before the child receives its fresh
subagent hint.
## Summary
- Remove `ghost_snapshot` / `GhostCommit` from the Responses API surface
and generated SDK/schema artifacts.
- Keep legacy config loading compatible, but make undo a no-op that
reports the feature is unavailable.
- Clean up core history, compaction, telemetry, rollout, and tests to
stop carrying ghost snapshot items.
## Testing
- Unit tests passed for `codex-protocol`, `codex-core` targeted undo and
compaction flows, `codex-rollout`, and `codex-app-server-protocol`.
- Regenerated config and app-server schemas plus Python SDK artifacts
and verified they match the checked-in outputs.
## Summary
- Add the `enable_mcp_apps` feature flag to the `codex-features`
registry
- Keep it under development and disabled by default
## Testing
- Unit tests for `codex-features` passed
- Formatting passed
## Why
`features.multi_agent_v2.max_concurrent_threads_per_session` is meant to
be the MultiAgentV2-specific session thread cap: it counts the root
thread and all open subagent threads. The previous implementation kept
this surface tied to `agents.max_threads`, which made it a global
subagent-only cap and allowed the legacy setting to coexist with
MultiAgentV2.
## What Changed
- Added `max_concurrent_threads_per_session` to
`[features.multi_agent_v2]` with default `4`.
- Removed the `[agents] max_concurrent_threads_per_session` alias to
`agents.max_threads`.
- When MultiAgentV2 is enabled, reject `agents.max_threads` and derive
the existing internal subagent slot limit as
`max_concurrent_threads_per_session - 1`.
- Regenerated `core/config.schema.json` and added coverage for the new
config semantics.
## Result

Fixes multiple scrollback and terminal resize issues: #5538, #5576,
#8352, #12223, #16165, and #15380.
## Why
Codex writes finalized transcript output into terminal scrollback after
wrapping it for the current viewport width. A later terminal resize
could leave that scrollback shaped for the old width, so wider windows
kept narrow output and narrower windows could show stale wrapping
artifacts until enough new output replaced the visible area.
This is also the foundation PR for responsive markdown tables. Table
rendering needs finalized transcript content to be width-sensitive after
insertion, not only while content is first streaming. Markdown table
rendering itself stays in #18576.
## Stack
- PR1: resize backlog reflow and interrupt cleanup
- #18576: markdown table support
## What Changed
- Rebuild source-backed transcript history when the terminal width
changes. `terminal_resize_reflow` is introduced through the experimental
feature system, but is enabled by default for this rollout so we can
validate behavior across real terminals.
- Preserve assistant and plan stream source so finalized streaming
output can participate in resize reflow after consolidation.
- Debounce resize work, but force a final source-backed reflow when a
resize happened during active or unconsolidated streaming output.
- Clear stale pending history lines on resize so old-width wrapped
output is not emitted just before rebuilt scrollback.
- Bound replay work with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow].max_rows`:
omitted uses terminal-specific defaults, `0` keeps all rendered rows,
and a positive value sets an explicit cap. The cap applies both while
initially replaying a resumed transcript into scrollback and when
rebuilding scrollback after terminal resize.
- Consolidate interrupted assistant streams before cleanup, then clear
pending stream output and active-tail state consistently.
- Move resize reflow and thread event buffering helpers out of `app.rs`
into dedicated TUI modules.
- Add focused coverage for resize reflow, feature-gated behavior,
streaming source preservation, interrupted output cleanup,
unicode-neutral text, terminal-specific row caps, and composer/layout
stability.
## Runtime Bounds
Resize reflow keeps only the most recent rendered rows when a row cap is
active. The default is `auto`, which maps to the detected terminal's
default scrollback size where Codex can identify it: VS Code `1000`,
Windows Terminal `9001`, WezTerm `3500`, and Alacritty `10000`.
Terminals without a dedicated mapping use the conservative fallback of
`1000` rows. Users can override this with `[tui.terminal_resize_reflow]
max_rows = N`, or set `max_rows = 0` to disable row limiting.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui reflow`
- `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p codex-tui
transcript_reflow`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- PR CI in progress on the squashed branch
## Summary
- Mark `unavailable_dummy_tools` as a stable feature and enable it by
default
- Update the feature registry test to match the new default state
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
Adds the persisted goal foundation for the rest of the stack. This PR is
intentionally limited to feature flag and state-layer behavior;
app-server APIs, model tools, runtime continuation, and TUI UX are
layered in later PRs.
## Why
Goal mode needs durable thread-level state before clients or model tools
can safely build on it. The state layer needs to know whether a goal
exists, what objective it tracks, whether it is active, paused,
budget-limited, or complete, and how much time/token usage has already
been accounted.
## What changed
- Added the `goals` feature flag and generated config schema entry.
- Added the `thread_goals` state table and Rust model for persisted
thread goals.
- Added state runtime APIs for creating, replacing, updating, deleting,
and accounting goal usage.
- Added `goal_id`-based stale update protection so an old goal update
cannot overwrite a replacement.
- Kept this PR scoped to persistence and state runtime behavior, with no
app-server, model-facing, continuation, or TUI behavior yet.
## Verification
- Added state runtime coverage for goal creation, replacement, stale
update protection, status transitions, token-budget behavior, and usage
accounting.
# Why
Hooks are ready to graduate to GA in the next release!
# What
- Moves `Feature::CodexHooks` into the stable feature group.
- Marks the `codex_hooks` feature spec as `Stage::Stable` and
default-enabled.
## Summary
- register `in_app_browser` and `browser_use` as stable feature keys
- allow requirements/MDM feature requirements to pin those desktop
browser controls
- add coverage for browser requirements being accepted by config loading
## Testing
- `cargo fmt --all` (`just fmt` unavailable locally; rustfmt warned
about nightly-only `imports_granularity` config)
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `cargo test -p codex-core browser_feature_requirements_are_valid`
- Tested manually by setting in `requirements.toml` and seeing after app
restart state to reflect the setting was correct (at the time hiding the
`Browser Use` setting when the enterprise setting was set to false
Add a temporary internal remote_plugin feature flag that merges remote
marketplaces into plugin/list and routes plugin/read through the remote
APIs when needed, while keeping pure local marketplaces working as
before.

## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
## Summary
Third PR in the split from #17956. Stacked on #18220.
- shows workspace-owner/member-specific rate-limit messages behind
`workspace_owner_usage_nudge`
- prompts workspace members to notify the owner or request a usage-limit
increase
- sends the confirmed nudge through the app-server API and renders
completion feedback
- adds focused TUI snapshot coverage for prompts and completion states
- feature gate
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-backend-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server rate_limits`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui workspace_`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui status_`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-backend-client`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
add new `tool_search_always_defer_mcp_tools` feature flag that always
defers all mcp tools rather than deferring once > 100 deferrable tools.
add new tests, also move `mcp_exposure` tests into dedicated file rather
than polluting `codex_tests`.
Adds new events for streaming apply_patch changes from responses api.
This is to enable clients to show progress during file writes.
Caveat: This does not work with apply_patch in function call mode, since
that required adding streaming json parsing.
## Summary
- mark `features.use_legacy_landlock` as a deprecated feature flag
- emit a startup deprecation notice when the flag is configured
- add feature- and core-level regression coverage for the notice
