Supersedes #18735.
The scheduled rust-release-prepare workflow force-pushed
`bot/update-models-json` back to the generated models.json-only diff,
which dropped the test and snapshot updates needed for CI.
This PR keeps the latest generated `models.json` from #18735 and adds
the corresponding fixture updates:
- preserve model availability NUX in the app-server model cache fixture
- update core/TUI expectations for the new `gpt-5.4` `xhigh` default
reasoning
- refresh affected TUI chatwidget snapshots for the `gpt-5.5`
default/model copy changes
Validation run locally while preparing the fix:
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server model_list`
- `cargo test -p codex-core includes_no_effort_in_request`
- `cargo test -p codex-core

we were not respecting turn's `truncation_policy` to clamp output tokens
for `unified_exec` and `write_stdin`.
this meant truncation was only being applied by `ContextManager` before
the output was stored in-memory (so it _was_ being truncated from
model-visible context), but the full output was persisted to rollout on
disk.
now we respect that `truncation_policy` and `ContextManager`-level
truncation remains a backup.
### Tests
added tests, tested locally.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions abstraction,
but the old shape only carried optional filesystem and network fields.
It could describe allowed access, but not who is responsible for
enforcing it. That made `DangerFullAccess` and `ExternalSandbox` lossy
when profiles were exported, cached, or round-tripped through app-server
APIs.
The important model change is that active permissions are now a disjoint
union over the enforcement mode. Conceptually:
```rust
pub enum PermissionProfile {
Managed {
file_system: FileSystemSandboxPolicy,
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
Disabled,
External {
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
}
```
This distinction matters because `Disabled` means Codex should apply no
outer sandbox at all, while `External` means filesystem isolation is
owned by an outside caller. Those are not equivalent to a broad managed
sandbox. For example, macOS cannot nest Seatbelt inside Seatbelt, so an
inner sandbox may require the outer Codex layer to use no sandbox rather
than a permissive one.
## How Existing Modeling Maps
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains a boundary projection, but it now maps
into the higher-fidelity profile model:
- `ReadOnly` and `WorkspaceWrite` map to `PermissionProfile::Managed`
with restricted filesystem entries plus the corresponding network
policy.
- `DangerFullAccess` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
the “no outer sandbox” intent instead of treating it as a lax managed
sandbox.
- `ExternalSandbox { network_access }` maps to
`PermissionProfile::External { network }`, preserving external
filesystem enforcement while still carrying the active network policy.
- Split runtime policies that legacy `SandboxPolicy` cannot faithfully
express, such as managed unrestricted filesystem plus restricted
network, stay `Managed` instead of being collapsed into
`ExternalSandbox`.
- Per-command/session/turn grants remain partial overlays via
`AdditionalPermissionProfile`; full `PermissionProfile` is reserved for
complete active runtime permissions.
## What Changed
- Change active `PermissionProfile` into a tagged union: `managed`,
`disabled`, and `external`.
- Keep partial permission grants separate with
`AdditionalPermissionProfile` for command/session/turn overlays.
- Represent managed filesystem permissions as either `restricted`
entries or `unrestricted`; `glob_scan_max_depth` is non-zero when
present.
- Preserve old rollout compatibility by accepting the pre-tagged `{
network, file_system }` profile shape during deserialization.
- Preserve fidelity for important edge cases: `DangerFullAccess`
round-trips as `disabled`, `ExternalSandbox` round-trips as `external`,
and managed unrestricted filesystem + restricted network stays managed
instead of being mistaken for external enforcement.
- Preserve configured deny-read entries and bounded glob scan depth when
full profiles are projected back into runtime policies, including
unrestricted replacements that now become `:root = write` plus deny
entries.
- Regenerate the experimental app-server v2 JSON/TypeScript schema and
update the `command/exec` README example for the tagged
`permissionProfile` shape.
## Compatibility
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains available at config/API boundaries as the
compatibility projection. Existing rollout lines with the old
`PermissionProfile` shape continue to load. The app-server
`permissionProfile` field is experimental, so its v2 wire shape is
intentionally updated to match the higher-fidelity model.

## Why
`codex-models-manager` had grown to own provider-specific concerns:
constructing OpenAI-compatible `/models` requests, resolving provider
auth, emitting request telemetry, and deciding how provider catalogs
should be sourced. That made the manager harder to reuse for providers
whose model catalog is not fetched from the OpenAI `/models` endpoint,
such as Amazon Bedrock.
This change moves provider-specific model discovery behind
provider-owned implementations, so the models manager can focus on
refresh policy, cache behavior, picker ordering, and model metadata
merging.
## What Changed
- Introduced a `ModelsManager` trait with separate `OpenAiModelsManager`
and `StaticModelsManager` implementations.
- Added `ModelsEndpointClient` so OpenAI-compatible HTTP fetching lives
outside `codex-models-manager`.
- Moved `/models` request construction, provider auth resolution,
timeout handling, and request telemetry into `codex-model-provider` via
`OpenAiModelsEndpoint`.
- Added provider-owned `models_manager(...)` construction so configured
OpenAI-compatible providers use `OpenAiModelsManager`, while
static/catalog-backed providers can return `StaticModelsManager`.
- Added an Amazon Bedrock static model catalog for the GPT OSS Bedrock
model IDs.
- Updated core/session/thread manager code and tests to depend on
`Arc<dyn ModelsManager>`.
- Moved offline model test helpers into
`codex_models_manager::test_support`.
## Metadata References
The Bedrock catalog metadata is based on the official Amazon Bedrock
OpenAI model documentation:
- [Amazon Bedrock OpenAI
models](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters-openai.html)
lists the Bedrock model IDs, text input/output modalities, and `128,000`
token context window for `gpt-oss-20b` and `gpt-oss-120b`.
- [Amazon Bedrock `gpt-oss-120b` model
card](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-openai-gpt-oss-120b.html)
lists the `bedrock-runtime` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`, the
`bedrock-mantle` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b`, text-only modalities,
and `128K` context window.
- [OpenAI `gpt-oss-120b` model
docs](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-oss-120b)
document configurable reasoning effort with `low`, `medium`, and `high`,
plus text input/output modality.
The display names, default reasoning effort, and priority ordering are
Codex-local catalog choices.
## Test Plan
- Manually verified app-server model listing with an AWS profile:
```shell
CODEX_HOME="$(mktemp -d)" cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
--codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
-c 'model_provider="amazon-bedrock"' \
-c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.profile="codex-bedrock"' \
-c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.region="us-west-2"' \
model-list
```
The response returned the Bedrock catalog with `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`
as the default model and `openai.gpt-oss-20b-1:0` as the second listed
model, both text-only and supporting low/medium/high reasoning effort.
## Why
Several approval-focused tests were unintentionally sensitive to
host-level rule files. On machines with broader allowed command
prefixes, commonly allowed commands such as `/bin/date` could bypass the
approval path these tests were meant to exercise, making the fixtures
depend on the developer or CI host configuration.
## What changed
- Pins the approval matrix fixture to the explicit user reviewer so it
does not inherit a host reviewer.
- Changes OTel approval fixtures to request `/usr/bin/touch
codex-otel-approval-test`, avoiding a command that may be pre-approved
by local rules.
- Clears the config layer stack for the permissions-message assertion
that needs to compare only the permissions text under test.
## Verification
- `env -u CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED cargo test -p codex-core --test
all approval_matrix_covers_all_modes -- --nocapture`
- `env -u CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED cargo test -p codex-core --test
all permissions_messages -- --nocapture`
## Summary
The plugin MCP tool-listing test could hide MCP startup failures by
polling `ListMcpTools` until its own 30s deadline. If the plugin MCP
server startup had already failed or timed out, the session-owned MCP
manager would keep returning an empty tool list, so CI only reported
`discovered tools: []` instead of the startup state that mattered.
This makes the test synchronize on `McpStartupComplete` for the sample
plugin MCP server before asserting listed tools, and gives the
Bazel-launched test server a larger startup window.
## Notes
Confidence is about 80%. The source path strongly supports the RCA: a
failed MCP startup is represented as an empty tool list through
`ListMcpTools`, so the old polling contract could not distinguish "not
ready yet" from "startup already failed." I could not retrieve the CI
execution-log artifact to confirm the exact hidden startup error, but
the observed Ubuntu Bazel failure matches this path: repeated
`ListMcpTools` responses with no tools until the test-local timeout
fired.
I think this is the right solution because it keeps plugin behavior
unchanged and fixes only the test contract. Future startup failures
should now report the `McpStartupComplete` failure/cancellation instead
of timing out on an empty tool snapshot.
This test was introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12864.
## Why
Per-turn permission overrides should use the same canonical profile
abstraction as session configuration. That lets TUI submissions preserve
exact configured permissions without round-tripping through legacy
sandbox fields.
## What changed
This adds `permission_profile` to user-turn operations, threads it
through TUI/app-server submission paths, fills the new field in existing
test fixtures, and adds coverage that composer submission includes the
configured profile.

## Why
MultiAgentV2 children should not receive an extra model-visible
developer fragment just because they were spawned. The parent/configured
developer instructions should carry through normally, but the dedicated
`<spawned_agent_context>` block is no longer desired.
## What changed
- Removed the `SpawnAgentInstructions` context fragment and its
`<spawned_agent_context>` wrapper.
- Stopped appending spawned-agent instructions in
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/multi_agents_v2/spawn.rs`.
- Updated subagent notification coverage to assert inherited parent
developer instructions without expecting the spawned-agent wrapper.

## Summary
Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
`PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
- hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
- hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
- core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
model-visible and stable
This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
## Reviewer Notes
I think these are the key files
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
`command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
## Changes
- Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
- Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
as `tool_input`.
- Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
`McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
- Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
elicitation.
- Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
`mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

## Summary
Support the existing hooks schema in inline TOML so hooks can be
configured from both `config.toml` and enterprise-managed
`requirements.toml` without requiring a separate `hooks.json` payload.
This gives enterprise admins a way to ship managed hook policy through
the existing requirements channel while still leaving script delivery to
MDM or other device-management tooling, and it keeps `hooks.json`
working unchanged for existing users.
This also lays the groundwork for follow-on managed filtering work such
as #15937, while continuing to respect project trust gating from #14718.
It does **not** implement `allow_managed_hooks_only` itself.
NOTE: yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the toml isn't formatted as
closely as normal to our default styling. This is because we're trying
to stay compatible with the spec for plugins/hooks that we'll need to
support & the main usecase here is embedding into requirements.toml
## What changed
- moved the shared hook serde model out of `codex-rs/hooks` into
`codex-rs/config` so the same schema can power `hooks.json`, inline
`config.toml` hooks, and managed `requirements.toml` hooks
- added `hooks` support to both `ConfigToml` and
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, including requirements-side `managed_dir` /
`windows_managed_dir`
- treated requirements-managed hooks as one constrained value via
`Constrained`, so managed hook policy is merged atomically and cannot
drift across requirement sources
- updated hook discovery to load requirements-managed hooks first, then
per-layer `hooks.json`, then per-layer inline TOML hooks, with a warning
when a single layer defines both representations
- threaded managed hook metadata through discovered handlers and exposed
requirements hooks in app-server responses, generated schemas, and
`/debug-config`
- added hook/config coverage in `codex-rs/config`, `codex-rs/hooks`,
`codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/tests.rs`, and
`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/hooks.rs`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server config_api`
## Documentation
Companion updates are needed in the developers website repo for:
- the hooks guide
- the config reference, sample, basic, and advanced pages
- the enterprise managed configuration guide

## Summary
Allow the user to approve a request_permissions_tool request with the
condition that all commands in the rest of the turn are reviewed by
guardian, regardless of sandbox status.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
- [x] Ran locally
Fixes#16246.
## Why
`exec_command` already emits `PreToolUse`, but long-running unified exec
commands that finish on a later `write_stdin` poll could miss the
matching `PostToolUse`. That left the Bash hook lifecycle inconsistent,
broke expectations around `tool_use_id` and `tool_input.command`, and
meant `PostToolUse` block/replacement feedback could fail to replace the
final session output before it reached model context.
This keeps the fix scoped to the `exec_command` / `write_stdin`
lifecycle. Broader non-Bash hook expansion is still out of scope here
and remains tracked separately in #16732.
## What changed
- Compute and store `PostToolUsePayload` while handlers still have
access to their concrete output type, and carry `tool_use_id` through
that payload.
- Preserve the original hook-facing `exec_command` string through
unified exec state (`ExecCommandRequest`, `ProcessEntry`,
`PreparedProcessHandles`, and `ExecCommandToolOutput`) via
`hook_command`, and remove the now-unused `session_command` output
metadata.
- Emit exactly one Bash `PostToolUse` for long-running `exec_command`
sessions when a later `write_stdin` poll observes final completion,
using the original `exec_command` call id and hook-facing command.
- Keep one-shot `exec_command` behavior aligned with the same payload
construction, including interactive completions that return a final
result directly.
- Apply `PostToolUse` block/replacement feedback before the final
`write_stdin` completion output is sent back to the model.
- Keep `write_stdin` itself out of `PreToolUse` matching so it continues
to act as transport/polling for the original Bash tool call.
- Restore plain matcher behavior for tool-name matchers such as `Bash`
and `Edit|Write`, while still treating patterns with regex characters
(for example `mcp__.*`) as regexes.
- Add unit coverage for unified exec payload construction and parallel
session separation, plus a core integration regression that verifies a
blocked `PostToolUse` replaces the final `write_stdin` output in model
context.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-core post_tool_use_payload`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
post_tool_use_blocks_when_exec_session_completes_via_write_stdin`
## Why
Resume and reconstruction need to preserve the permissions that were
active for each user turn. If rollouts only keep legacy sandbox fields,
replay cannot faithfully represent profile-shaped overrides introduced
earlier in the stack.
## What changed
This records `permission_profile` on user-turn rollout events,
reconstructs it through history/state extraction, and updates rollout
reconstruction and related fixtures to keep the field explicit.
## Verification

--nocapture`

## Why
The post-merge `rust-ci-full` run for #18999 still failed the Ubuntu
remote `suite::remote_env` sandboxed filesystem tests. That run checked
out merge commit `ddde50c611e4800cb805f243ed3c50bbafe7d011`, so the arg0
guard lifetime fix was present.
The Docker-backed failure had two remaining pieces:
- The sandboxed filesystem helper needs to execute Codex through the
`codex-linux-sandbox` arg0 alias path. The helper sandbox was only
granting read access to the real Codex executable parent, so the alias
parent also has to be visible inside the helper sandbox.
- The remote-env tests were building sandbox contexts with
`FileSystemSandboxContext::new()`, which captures the local test runner
cwd. In the Docker remote exec-server, that host checkout path does not
exist, so spawning the filesystem helper failed with `No such file or
directory` before the helper could process the request.
## What Changed
- Track all helper runtime read roots instead of a single root.
- Add both the real Codex executable parent and the
`codex-linux-sandbox` alias parent to sandbox readable roots.
- Avoid sending an unused local cwd in remote filesystem sandbox
contexts when the permission profile has no cwd-dependent entries.
- Build the Docker remote-env test sandbox contexts with a cwd path that
exists inside the container.
- Add unit coverage for the alias-parent root and remote sandbox cwd
handling.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
remote_test_env_sandboxed_read_allows_readable_root`
- `just fix -p codex-exec-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions shape shared
by core and app-server. After app-server responses expose the active
profile, clients need to be able to send that same shape back when
starting, resuming, forking, or overriding a turn instead of translating
through the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` shorthands.
This still needs to preserve the existing requirements/platform
enforcement model. A profile-shaped request can be downgraded or
rejected by constraints, but the server should keep the user's
elevated-access intent for project trust decisions. Turn-level profile
overrides also need to retain existing read protections, including
deny-read entries and bounded glob-scan metadata, so a permission
override cannot accidentally drop configured protections such as
`**/*.env = deny`.
## What changed
- Adds optional `permissionProfile` request fields to `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start`.
- Rejects ambiguous requests that specify both `permissionProfile` and
the legacy `sandbox`/`sandboxPolicy` fields, including running-thread
resume requests.
- Converts profile-shaped overrides into core runtime filesystem/network
permissions while continuing to derive the constrained legacy sandbox
projection used by existing execution paths.
- Preserves project-trust intent for profile overrides that are
equivalent to workspace-write or full-access sandbox requests.
- Preserves existing deny-read entries and `globScanMaxDepth` when
applying turn-level `permissionProfile` overrides.
- Updates app-server docs plus generated JSON/TypeScript schema fixtures
and regression coverage.

## Summary
Wires rollout trace recording into `codex-core` session and turn
execution. This records the core model request/response, compaction, and
session lifecycle boundaries needed for replay without yet tracing every
nested runtime/tool boundary.
## Stack
This is PR 2/5 in the rollout trace stack.
- [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout
trace crate
- [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core
session rollout traces
- [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and
code-mode boundaries
- [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions
and multi-agent edges
- [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace
reduction command
## Review Notes
This layer is the first live integration point. The important review
question is whether trace recording is isolated from normal session
behavior: trace failures should not become user-visible execution
failures, and recording should preserve the existing turn/session
lifecycle semantics.
The PR depends on the reducer/data model from the first stack entry and
only introduces the core recorder surface that later PRs use for richer
runtime and relationship events.
## Why
Guardian analytics includes time-to-first-token, but the Guardian
reviewer runs as a normal Codex session and `TurnCompleteEvent` did not
expose TTFT. The timing needs to flow through the standard
turn-completion protocol so Guardian review analytics can consume the
same value as the rest of the session machinery.
## What changed
Adds optional `time_to_first_token_ms` to `TurnCompleteEvent` and
populates it from `TurnTiming`. The value is carried through app-server
thread history, rollout reconstruction, TUI/app-server adapters, and
Guardian review session handling.
Guardian review analytics now captures TTFT from the reviewer
turn-complete event when available. Existing tests and fixtures are
updated to set the new optional field to `None` where TTFT is not
relevant.

## Why
`build_prompt_input` now initializes `ExecServerRuntimePaths`, which
requires a configured Codex executable path. The previous inline unit
test in `core/src/prompt_debug.rs` built a bare `test_config()` and then
failed before it could assert anything useful:
```text
Codex executable path is not configured
```
This coverage is also integration-shaped: it drives the public
`build_prompt_input` entry point through config, thread, and session
setup rather than testing a small internal helper in isolation.
Bazel CI did not catch this earlier because the affected test was behind
the same wrapped Rust unit-test path fixed by #18913. Before that
launcher/sharding fix, the outer `workspace_root_test` changed the
working directory for Insta compatibility while the inner `rules_rust`
sharding wrapper still expected its runfiles working directory. In
practice, Bazel could report success without executing the Rust test
cases in that shard. Once #18913 makes the wrapper run the Rust test
binary directly and shard with libtest arguments, this stale unit test
actually runs and exposes the missing `codex_self_exe` setup.
## What Changed
- Moved `build_prompt_input_includes_context_and_user_message` out of
`core/src/prompt_debug.rs`.
- Added `core/tests/suite/prompt_debug_tests.rs` and registered it from
`core/tests/suite/mod.rs`.
- Builds the test config with `ConfigBuilder` and provides
`codex_self_exe` using the current test executable, matching the
runtime-path invariant required by prompt debug setup.
- Preserves the existing assertions that the generated prompt input
includes both the debug user message and project-specific user
instructions.

Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16732.
## Why
`apply_patch` is Codex's primary file edit path, but it was not emitting
`PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` hook events. That meant hook-based policy,
auditing, and write coordination could observe shell commands while
missing the actual file mutation performed by `apply_patch`.
The issue also exposed that the hook runtime serialized command hook
payloads with `tool_name: "Bash"` unconditionally. Even if `apply_patch`
supplied hook payloads, hooks would either fail to match it directly or
receive misleading stdin that identified the edit as a Bash tool call.
## What Changed
- Added `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` payload support to
`ApplyPatchHandler`.
- Exposed the raw patch body as `tool_input.command` for both
JSON/function and freeform `apply_patch` calls.
- Taught tool hook payloads to carry a handler-supplied hook-facing
`tool_name`.
- Preserved existing shell compatibility by continuing to emit `Bash`
for shell-like tools.
- Serialized the selected hook `tool_name` into hook stdin instead of
hardcoding `Bash`.
- Relaxed the generated hook command input schema so `tool_name` can
represent tools other than `Bash`.
## Verification
Added focused handler coverage for:
- JSON/function `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Freeform `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Successful `apply_patch` output producing a `PostToolUse` payload.
- Shell and `exec_command` handlers continuing to expose `Bash`.
Added end-to-end hook coverage for:
- A `PreToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` blocking the patch before
the target file is created.
- A `PostToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` receiving the patch
input and tool response, then adding context to the follow-up model
request.
- Non-participating tools such as the plan tool continuing not to emit
`PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` hook events.
Also validated manually with a live `codex exec` smoke test using an
isolated temp workspace and temp `CODEX_HOME`. The smoke test confirmed
that a real `apply_patch` edit emits `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` with
`tool_name: "apply_patch"`, a shell command still emits `tool_name:
"Bash"`, and a denying `PreToolUse` hook prevents the blocked patch file
from being created.
## Summary
- add experimental turn/start.environments params for per-turn
environment id + cwd selections
- pass selections through core protocol ops and resolve them with
EnvironmentManager before TurnContext creation
- treat omitted selections as default behavior, empty selections as no
environment, and non-empty selections as first environment/cwd as the
turn primary
## Testing

## 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.
## Why
Permission approval responses must not be able to grant more access than
the tool requested. Moving this flow to `PermissionProfile` means the
comparison must be profile-shaped instead of `SandboxPolicy`-shaped, and
cwd-relative special paths such as `:cwd` and `:project_roots` must stay
anchored to the turn that produced the request.
## What changed
This implements semantic `PermissionProfile` intersection in
`codex-sandboxing` for file-system and network permissions. The
intersection accepts narrower path grants, rejects broader grants,
preserves deny-read carve-outs and glob scan depth, and materializes
cwd-dependent special-path grants to absolute paths before they can be
recorded for reuse.
The request-permissions response paths now use that intersection
consistently. App-server captures the request turn cwd before waiting
for the client response, includes that cwd in the v2 approval params,
and core stores the requested profile plus cwd for direct TUI/client
responses and Guardian decisions before recording turn- or
session-scoped grants. The TUI app-server bridge now preserves the
app-server request cwd when converting permission approval params into
core events.

Deferred dynamic tools need to round-trip a namespace so a tool returned
by `tool_search` can be called through the same registry key that core
uses for dispatch.
This change adds namespace support for dynamic tool specs/calls,
persists it through app-server thread state, and routes dynamic tool
calls by full `ToolName` while still sending the app the leaf tool name.
Deferred dynamic tools must provide a namespace; non-deferred dynamic
tools may remain top-level.
It also introduces `LoadableToolSpec` as the shared
function-or-namespace Responses shape used by both `tool_search` output
and dynamic tool registration, so dynamic tools use the same wrapping
logic in both paths.

## Why
Codex needs a first-class `amazon-bedrock` model provider so users can
select Bedrock without copying a full provider definition into
`config.toml`. The provider has Codex-owned defaults for the pieces that
should stay consistent across users: the display `name`, Bedrock
`base_url`, and `wire_api`.
At the same time, users still need a way to choose the AWS credential
profile used by their local environment. This change makes
`amazon-bedrock` a partially modifiable built-in provider: code owns the
provider identity and endpoint defaults, while user config can set
`model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.profile`.
For example:
```toml
model_provider = "amazon-bedrock"
[model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws]
profile = "codex-bedrock"
```
## What Changed
- Added `amazon-bedrock` to the built-in model provider map with:
- `name = "Amazon Bedrock"`
- `base_url = "https://bedrock-mantle.us-east-1.api.aws/v1"`
- `wire_api = "responses"`
- Added AWS provider auth config with a profile-only shape:
`model_providers.<id>.aws.profile`.
- Kept AWS auth config restricted to `amazon-bedrock`; custom providers
that set `aws` are rejected.
- Allowed `model_providers.amazon-bedrock` through reserved-provider
validation so it can act as a partial override.
- During config loading, only `aws.profile` is copied from the
user-provided `amazon-bedrock` entry onto the built-in provider. Other
Bedrock provider fields remain hard-coded by the built-in definition.
- Updated the generated config schema for the new provider AWS profile
config.
## Summary
- Track how many realtime transcript entries have already been attached
to a background-agent handoff.
- Attach only entries added since the previous handoff as
`<transcript_delta>` instead of resending the accumulated transcript
snapshot.
- Update the realtime integration test so the second delegation carries
only the second transcript delta.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
inbound_handoff_request_sends_transcript_delta_after_each_handoff`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
## Manual testing
Built local debug binaries at:
- `codex-rs/target/debug/codex`
- `codex-rs/target/debug/codex-app-server`
## Summary
This fixes a stale-environment path in shell snapshot restoration. A
sandboxed command can source a shell snapshot that was captured while an
older proxy process was running. If that proxy has died and come back on
a different port, the snapshot can otherwise put old proxy values back
into the command environment, which is how tools like `pip` end up
talking to a dead proxy.
The wrapper now captures the live process environment before sourcing
the snapshot and then restores or clears every proxy env var from the
proxy crate's canonical list. That makes proxy state after shell
snapshot restoration match the current command environment, rather than
whatever proxy values happened to be present in the snapshot. On macOS,
the Codex-generated `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` is refreshed when the SOCKS
listener changes, while custom SSH wrappers are still left alone.

## Summary
Adds a second realtime v2 function tool, `remain_silent`, so the
realtime model has an explicit non-speaking action when the
collaboration mode or latest context says it should not answer aloud.
This is stacked on #18597.
## Design
- Advertise `remain_silent` alongside `background_agent` in realtime v2
conversational sessions.
- Parse `remain_silent` function calls into a typed
`RealtimeEvent::NoopRequested` event.
- Have core answer that function call with an empty
`function_call_output` and deliberately avoid `response.create`, so no
follow-up realtime response is requested.
- Keep the event hidden from app-server/TUI surfaces; it is operational
plumbing, not user-visible conversation content.
This updates the spawn-agent tool contract so subagents are presented as
inheriting the parent model by default. The visible model list is now
framed as optional overrides, the model parameter tells callers to leave
it unset and the delegation guidance no longer nudges models toward
picking a smaller/mini override.
Fixes reports that 5.4 would occasionally pick 5.2 or lower as
sub-agents.
## Summary
This PR aims to improve integration between the realtime model and the
codex agent by sharing more context with each other. In particular, we
now share full realtime conversation transcript deltas in addition to
the delegation message.
realtime_conversation.rs now turns a handoff into:
```
<realtime_delegation>
<input>...</input>
<transcript_delta>...</transcript_delta>
</realtime_delegation>
```
## Implementation notes
The transcript is accumulated in the realtime websocket layer as parsed
realtime events arrive. When a background-agent handoff is requested,
the current transcript snapshot is copied onto the handoff event and
then serialized by `realtime_conversation.rs` into the hidden realtime
delegation envelope that Codex receives as user-turn context.
For Realtime V2, the session now explicitly enables input audio
transcription, and the parser handles the relevant input/output
transcript completion events so the snapshot includes both user speech
and realtime model responses. The delegation `<input>` remains the
actual handoff request, while `<transcript_delta>` carries the
surrounding conversation history for context.
Reviewers should note that the transcript payload is intended for Codex
context sharing, not UI rendering. The realtime delegation envelope
should stay hidden from the user-facing transcript surface, while still
being included in the background-agent turn so Codex can answer with the
same conversational context the realtime model had.
- Replace the active models-manager catalog with the deleted core
catalog contents.
- Replace stale hardcoded test model slugs with current bundled model
slugs.
- Keep this as a stacked change on top of the cleanup PR.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` needs stable, canonical file-system semantics before
it can become the primary runtime permissions abstraction. Without a
canonical form, callers have to keep re-deriving legacy sandbox maps and
profile comparisons remain lossy or order-dependent.
## What changed
This adds canonicalization helpers for `FileSystemPermissions` and
`PermissionProfile`, expands special paths into explicit sandbox
entries, and updates permission request/conversion paths to consume
those canonical entries. It also tightens the legacy bridge so root-wide
write profiles with narrower carveouts are not silently projected as
full-disk legacy access.

- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing permission -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
## Summary
- persist registered agent tasks in the session state update stream so
the thread can reuse them
- prewarm task registration once identity registration succeeds, while
keeping startup failures best-effort
- isolate the session-side task lifecycle into a dedicated module so
AgentIdentityManager and RegisteredAgentTask do not leak across as many
core layers

## Why
Unused imports in `core/tests/suite/unified_exec.rs` in the Windows
build were not caught by Bazel CI on
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18096. I spot-checked
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/workflows/rust-ci-full.yml?query=branch%3Amain
and noticed that builds were consistently red. This revealed that our
Cargo builds _were_ properly catching these issues, identifying a
Windows-specific coverage hole in the Bazel clippy job.
The Windows Bazel clippy job uses `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets`
so it can lint a broad target set without failing immediately on targets
that are genuinely incompatible with Windows. However, with the default
Windows host platform, `rust_test` targets such as
`//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` could be skipped before the clippy
aspect reached their integration-test modules. As a result, the imports
in `core/tests/suite/unified_exec.rs` were not being linted by the
Windows Bazel clippy job at all.
The clippy diagnostic that Windows Bazel should have surfaced was:
```text
error: unused import: `codex_config::Constrained`
--> core\tests\suite\unified_exec.rs:8:5
|
8 | use codex_config::Constrained;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `-D unused-imports` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unused_imports)]`
error: unused import: `codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemAccessMode`
--> core\tests\suite\unified_exec.rs:11:5
|
11 | use codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemAccessMode;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
error: unused import: `codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemPath`
--> core\tests\suite\unified_exec.rs:12:5
|
12 | use codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemPath;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
error: unused import: `codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemSandboxEntry`
--> core\tests\suite\unified_exec.rs:13:5
|
13 | use codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemSandboxEntry;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
error: unused import: `codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemSandboxPolicy`
--> core\tests\suite\unified_exec.rs:14:5
|
14 | use codex_protocol::permissions::FileSystemSandboxPolicy;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
## What changed
- Run the Windows Bazel clippy job with the MSVC host platform via
`--windows-msvc-host-platform`, matching the Windows Bazel test job.
This keeps `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` while ensuring Windows
`rust_test` targets such as `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` are still
linted.
- Remove the unused imports from `core/tests/suite/unified_exec.rs`.
- Add `--print-failed-action-summary` to
`.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh` so Bazel action failures can be
summarized after the build exits.
## Failure reporting
Once the coverage issue was fixed, an intentionally reintroduced unused
import made the Windows Bazel clippy job fail as expected. That exposed
a separate usability problem: because the job keeps `--keep_going`, the
top-level Bazel output could still end with:
```text
ERROR: Build did NOT complete successfully
FAILED:
```
without the underlying rustc/clippy diagnostic being visible in the
obvious part of the GitHub Actions log.
To keep `--keep_going` while making failures actionable, the wrapper now
scans the captured Bazel console output for failed actions and prints
the matching rustc/clippy diagnostic block. When a diagnostic block is
found, it is emitted both as a GitHub `::error` annotation and as plain
expanded log output, rather than being hidden in a collapsed group.
## Verification
To validate the CI path, I intentionally introduced an unused import in
`core/tests/suite/unified_exec.rs`. The Windows Bazel clippy job failed
as expected, confirming that the integration-test module is now covered
by Bazel clippy. The same failure also verified that the wrapper
surfaces the matching clippy diagnostics directly in the Actions output.
## Summary
- Normalize deferred MCP and dynamic tools into `ToolSearchEntry` values
before constructing `ToolSearchHandler`.
- Move the tool-search entry adapter out of `tools/handlers` and into
`tools/tool_search_entry.rs` so the handlers directory stays focused on
handlers.
- Keep `ToolSearchHandler` operating over one generic entry list for
BM25 search, namespace grouping, and per-bucket default limits.
## Why
Follow-up cleanup for #17849. The dynamic tool-search support made the
handler juggle source-specific MCP and dynamic tool lists, index
arithmetic, output conversion, and namespace emission. This keeps source
adaptation outside the handler so the search loop itself is smaller and
source-agnostic.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::handlers::tool_search::tests`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` currently fails in unrelated
`plugins::manager::tests::list_marketplaces_ignores_installed_roots_missing_from_config`;
rerunning that single test fails the same way at
`core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs:1692`.

Rename `no_memories_if_mcp_or_web_search` →
`disable_on_external_context` with backward compatibility
While doing so, we add a key alias system on our layer merging system.
What we try to avoid is a case where a company managed config use an old
name while the user has a new name in it's local config (which would
make the deserialization fail)
## Why
We need `PermissionRequest` hook support!
Also addresses:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301
- run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention
but actually no-op so user can still approve
- can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script
exit 0 and print nothing
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311
- let the script approve/deny on its own
- external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex
## Reviewer Note
There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are:
- New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs`
- Wiring for network approvals
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs`
- Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs`
- Wiring for execve
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`
## What
- Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the
`PermissionRequest` hook flow.
- Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall
back to the normal approval path.
- Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps:
- shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present
- network approvals: `network-access <domain>`
- Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval
permission-request hooks.
- For network approvals, passes the originating command in
`tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls
back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command.
