## Why
`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.
That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.
## What Changed
- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.
## Limits
`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.
Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:
- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes
## Verification
Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

Summary:
- Return from external agent import before session history import
finishes
- Run session import work in the background and emit the existing
completion notification when it is done
- Serialize session imports so duplicate requests do not create
duplicate imported threads
Verification:

- cargo test -p codex-external-agent-sessions
- just fix -p codex-app-server
- just fix -p codex-external-agent-sessions

## Summary
- Rewrite migrated external-agent hook commands by replacing the full
hook script path token instead of only the `.claude/hooks/` segment.
- Preserve quoting around the full rewritten target path so script names
with spaces, absolute paths, and shell operators/redirection continue to
work.
- Apply `.claude/settings.local.json` over `.claude/settings.json` for
config, MCP, and plugin migration so local scope matches Claude settings
precedence.
- Skip legacy command markdown without `description` frontmatter,
including README-style docs under `.claude/commands`.
## Root Cause
The previous hook rewrite handled `.claude/hooks/` as a substring
replacement. For absolute source commands, that left the original
project-root prefix before the newly quoted `.codex/hooks` directory,
producing invalid commands like
`project/'project/.codex/hooks'/script.sh`.
The migration also only used project `settings.json` for
config/MCP/plugin decisions, so local settings such as
`disabledMcpjsonServers` could be ignored even though Claude gives local
settings higher precedence than project settings.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-external-agent-migration`

- `just fix -p codex-external-agent-migration`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
This PR expands the migration path so Codex can detect and import MCP
server config, hooks, commands, and subagents configs in a Codex-native
shape.
## What changed
- Added a `codex-external-agent-migration` crate that owns conversion
logic for external-agent MCP servers, hooks, commands, and subagents.
- Extended the app-server external-agent config detection/import API
with migration item types for MCP server config, hooks, commands, and
subagents.
## Migration strategy
The migration is intentionally conservative: Codex only imports
external-agent config that can be represented safely in Codex today.
Unsupported or ambiguous config is skipped instead of being partially
translated into behavior that may not match the source system.
- **MCP servers**: import supported stdio and HTTP MCP server
definitions into `mcp_servers`. Disabled servers and servers filtered
out by source `enabledMcpjsonServers` / `disabledMcpjsonServers` are
skipped. Project-scoped MCP entries from `.claude.json` are included
when they match the repo path.
- **Hooks**: import only supported command hooks into
`.codex/hooks.json`. Unsupported hook features such as conditional
groups, async handlers, prompt/http hooks, or unknown fields are
skipped. Referenced hook scripts are copied into `.codex/hooks/`,
preserving any existing target scripts.
- **Commands**: import supported external commands as Codex skills under
`.agents/skills/source-command-*`. Commands that rely on source runtime
expansion such as `$ARGUMENTS`, `$1`, `@file` references, shell
interpolation, or colliding generated names are skipped.
- **Subagents**: import valid subagent Markdown files into
`.codex/agents/*.toml` when they have the minimum Codex agent fields.
Source model names are not migrated, so imported agents keep the user’s
Codex default model; compatible reasoning effort and sandbox mode are
migrated when present.
- **Skills and project guidance**: copy missing skill directories into
`.agents/skills` and migrate `CLAUDE.md` guidance into `AGENTS.md`,
rewriting source-agent terminology to Codex terminology where
appropriate.
- **Detection details**: detected migration items include lightweight
details for UI preview, such as MCP server names, hook event names,
generated command skill names, and subagent names. Import still
recomputes from disk instead of trusting details as the source of truth.
- Adds focused coverage for the new migration behavior and app-server
import flow.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-external-agent-migration`
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
This extends external agent detection/import beyond config artifacts so
Codex can detect recent sessions files from the external agent home and
import them into Codex rollout history.
## What changed
- Added a focused `external_agent_sessions` module for:
- session discovery
- source-record parsing
- rollout construction
- import ledger tracking
- Wired session detection/import into the app-server external agent
config API.
- Added compaction handling so large imported sessions can be resumed
safely before the first follow-up turn.
## Testing
Added coverage for:
- recent-session detection
- custom-title handling
- recency filtering
- dedupe and re-detect-after-source-change behavior
- visible imported turn construction
- backward-compatible import payload deserialization
- end-to-end RPC import flow
- rejection of undetected session paths
- repeat-import behavior
- large-session compaction before first follow-up
Ran:
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config_import_ --test
all`
## Summary
- Move external agent config migration logic and tests from `codex-core`
into `app-server/src/config`.
- Keep the migration service crate-private to app-server and update the
API adapter imports.
- Remove stale core re-exports and expose only the needed marketplace
source helper.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server config::external_agent_config`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `git diff --check`
