## Why
Remote exec-server now needs one executor websocket to serve multiple
harness JSON-RPC sessions. Rendezvous routes by `stream_id`, and the
exec-server side needs to use the same stable relay frame contract
instead of a hand-rolled JSON shape.
The relay protocol also needs to make ownership boundaries clear:
harness and executor endpoints own sequencing, acks, retries, duplicate
suppression, segmentation, and reassembly; rendezvous only routes
frames.
## What Changed
- Add the checked-in `codex.exec_server.relay.v1.RelayMessageFrame`
proto plus generated prost bindings for `codex-exec-server`.
- Encode remote harness/executor relay traffic as binary protobuf
websocket frames while keeping local websocket JSON-RPC unchanged.
- Demux executor-side relay streams into independent
`ConnectionProcessor` sessions keyed by `stream_id`.
- Add a programmatic `RemoteExecutorConfig::with_bearer_token(...)`
constructor for non-CLI callers and integration tests.
- Add an integration test that starts the remote executor against a fake
registry/rendezvous websocket and verifies two virtual streams share one
executor websocket without cross-talk, including per-stream reset
behavior.
- Document the remote relay envelope, sequence ranges, `ack`/`ack_bits`,
and endpoint responsibilities in `exec-server/README.md`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test relay
multiplexed_remote_executor_routes_independent_virtual_streams --
--exact`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test relay`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server` passed outside the sandbox. The
sandboxed run hit macOS `sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not
permitted` in filesystem sandbox tests.
## Why
Windows CI has been timing out in
`configured_pet_load_is_deferred_until_after_construction` while waiting
for the deferred configured-pet load event.
The test still needs to prove construction returns before the pet image
is available, but the background load slices the built-in pet
spritesheet into frame cache files. That work can exceed the old 2
second deadline on slower or more contended CI machines.
## What Changed
- Increased the test wait for `ConfiguredPetLoaded` from 2 seconds to 30
seconds.
- Kept the post-construction assertion intact so the test still verifies
that the pet is not loaded synchronously during `ChatWidget`
construction.
## How to Test
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
configured_pet_load_is_deferred_until_after_construction`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
Additional check:
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` was run, but the broader crate suite did not
complete successfully due to unrelated existing failures:
-
`status::tests::status_permissions_full_disk_managed_without_network_is_external_sandbox`
-
`status::tests::status_permissions_full_disk_managed_with_network_is_danger_full_access`
- later abort in
`tests::fork_last_filters_latest_session_by_cwd_unless_show_all` from
stack overflow
## Why
Code mode only used nested spec lookup at execution time to rediscover
whether a nested tool should be invoked as a function tool or a freeform
tool.
That information is already present in the enabled tool metadata that
code mode builds to expose `tools.*` and `ALL_TOOLS`, so re-looking it
up from the router was redundant and kept execution coupled to a
separate spec lookup path.
## What Changed
- thread `CodeModeToolKind` through the code-mode runtime `ToolCall`
event and `CodeModeNestedToolCall`
- emit the nested tool kind directly from the V8 callback using the
already-enabled tool metadata
- build nested tool payloads from the propagated kind instead of calling
`find_spec`
- remove the now-unused `find_spec` plumbing from the router and
parallel runtime helpers
- add unit coverage for function vs freeform payload shaping and update
affected router tests
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-code-mode`
- `cargo test -p codex-core code_mode::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
extension_tool_bundles_are_model_visible_and_dispatchable`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
model_visible_specs_filter_deferred_dynamic_tools`
## Summary
Adds include_collaboration_mode_instructions, which is a config
equivalent to include_permissions_instructions for collaboration modes.
Desired for situations where we want to disable this instruction from
entering the context
## Testing
- [x] Added unit test
## Why
Tool dispatch had two serialization mechanisms:
- `supports_parallel_tool_calls` decides whether a tool participates in
the shared parallel-execution lock.
- `is_mutating` separately gated some calls inside dispatch.
That second hook no longer carried its weight. The remaining
parallel-support flag is already the per-tool concurrency policy, so
keeping a second mutating gate made dispatch harder to follow and left
behind extra session plumbing that only existed for that path.
## What changed
- Removed `is_mutating` from tool handlers and deleted the
`tool_call_gate` path that existed only to support it.
- Simplified dispatch and routing to rely on the existing per-tool
`supports_parallel_tool_calls` boolean.
- Dropped the now-unused handler overrides and related session/test
scaffolding.
- Kept the router/parallel tests focused on the surviving per-tool
behavior.
- Removed the unused `codex-utils-readiness` dependency from
`codex-core` as a follow-up fix for `cargo shear`.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
parallel_support_does_not_match_namespaced_local_tool_names`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_parallel_support_uses_handler_data`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
tools_without_handlers_do_not_support_parallel`
## Summary
- tighten unified exec sandbox initialization
- preserve the requested process workdir independently from sandbox
setup
- add regression coverage for the updated invariant
## Validation
- Ran `/tmp/cargo-tools/bin/just fmt`.
- Ran the targeted `codex-core` regression test successfully.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core`; it did not complete cleanly because
unrelated existing agent/config-loader tests failed and the run later
aborted on a stack overflow in
`tools::handlers::multi_agents::tests::tool_handlers_cascade_close_and_resume_and_keep_explicitly_closed_subtrees_closed`.

## Why
The Codex App has animated pets, but the TUI had no equivalent ambient
companion surface. This brings that experience into terminal Codex while
keeping the main chat flow usable: the pet should feel present, but it
cannot cover transcript text, composer input, approvals, or picker
content.
The feature also needs to be terminal-aware. Different terminals support
different image protocols, tmux can interfere with image rendering, and
some users will want pets disabled entirely or anchored differently
depending on their layout.

## What Changed
- Add a TUI ambient pet renderer in `codex-rs/tui/src/pets/`.
- Port the app-style pet animation states so the sprite changes with
task status, waiting-for-input states, review/ready states, and
failures.
- Add `/pets` selection UI with a preview pane, loading state, built-in
pet choices, and a first-row `Disable terminal pets` option.
- Download built-in pet spritesheets on demand from the same public CDN
path already used by Android, under
`https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex/pets/v1/...`, and cache them
locally under `~/.codex/cache/tui-pets/`.
- Keep custom pets local.
- Add config support for pet selection, disabling pets, and choosing
whether the pet follows the composer bottom or anchors to the terminal
bottom.
- Reserve layout space around the pet so transcript wrapping, live
responses, and composer input do not render underneath the sprite.
- Gate image rendering by terminal capability, disable image pets under
tmux, and support both Kitty Graphics and SIXEL terminals.
- Add redraw cleanup for terminal image artifacts, including sixel cell
clearing.
## Current Scope
- This is an initial TUI version of ambient pets, not full App parity.
- It focuses on ambient sprite rendering, `/pets` selection, custom
pets, terminal capability gating, and on-demand CDN-backed built-in
assets.
- The ambient text overlay is currently disabled, so the TUI renders the
pet sprite without extra status text beside it.
## How to Test
1. Start Codex TUI in a terminal with image support.
2. Run `/pets`.
3. Confirm the picker shows built-in pets plus custom pets, and the
first item is `Disable terminal pets`.
4. On a fresh `~/.codex/cache/tui-pets/`, move onto a built-in pet and
confirm the first preview downloads the spritesheet from the shared
Codex pets CDN and renders successfully.
5. Move through the pet list and confirm subsequent built-in previews
use the local cache.
6. Select a pet, then send and receive messages. Confirm transcript and
composer text wrap before the pet instead of rendering underneath the
sprite.
7. Change the pet anchor setting and confirm the pet can either follow
the composer bottom or sit at the terminal bottom.
8. Return to `/pets`, choose `Disable terminal pets`, and confirm the
sprite disappears cleanly.

- `cargo insta pending-snapshots`
Part 1 of guardian as extension. This bind all the logic to spawn
another agent from an extension and it adds `ThreadId` in the start
thread collaborator
Makes plugin summaries use config-style plugin@marketplace IDs while
exposing backend remote IDs separately as remotePluginId.
Also fix the consistency issue of REMOTE_SHARED_WITH_ME_MARKETPLACE_NAME
## Why
The split filesystem policy stack already supports exact and glob
`access = none` read restrictions on macOS and Linux. Windows still
needed subprocess handling for those deny-read policies without claiming
enforcement from a backend that cannot provide it.
## Key finding
The unelevated restricted-token backend cannot safely enforce deny-read
overlays. Its `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token model is authoritative for write
checks, not read denials, so this PR intentionally fails that backend
closed when deny-read overrides are present instead of claiming
unsupported enforcement.
## What changed
This PR adds the Windows deny-read enforcement layer and makes the
backend split explicit:
- Resolves Windows deny-read filesystem policy entries into concrete ACL
targets.
- Preserves exact missing paths so they can be materialized and denied
before an enforceable sandboxed process starts.
- Snapshot-expands existing glob matches into ACL targets for Windows
subprocess enforcement.
- Honors `glob_scan_max_depth` when expanding Windows deny-read globs.
- Plans both the configured lexical path and the canonical target for
existing paths so reparse-point aliases are covered.
- Threads deny-read overrides through the elevated/logon-user Windows
sandbox backend and unified exec.
- Applies elevated deny-read ACLs synchronously before command launch
rather than delegating them to the background read-grant helper.
- Reconciles persistent deny-read ACEs per sandbox principal so policy
changes do not leave stale deny-read ACLs behind.
- Fails closed on the unelevated restricted-token backend when deny-read
overrides are present, because its `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token model is not
authoritative for read denials.
## Landed prerequisites
These prerequisite PRs are already on `main`:
1. #15979 `feat(permissions): add glob deny-read policy support`
2. #18096 `feat(sandbox): add glob deny-read platform enforcement`
3. #17740 `feat(config): support managed deny-read requirements`
This PR targets `main` directly and contains only the Windows deny-read
enforcement layer.
## Implementation notes
- Exact deny-read paths remain enforceable on the elevated path even
when they do not exist yet: Windows materializes the missing path before
applying the deny ACE, so the sandboxed command cannot create and read
it during the same run.
- Existing exact deny paths are preserved lexically until the ACL
planner, which then adds the canonical target as a second ACL target
when needed. That keeps both the configured alias and the resolved
object covered.
- Windows ACLs do not consume Codex glob syntax directly, so glob
deny-read entries are expanded to the concrete matches that exist before
process launch.
- Glob traversal deduplicates directory visits within each pattern walk
to avoid cycles, without collapsing distinct lexical roots that happen
to resolve to the same target.
- Persistent deny-read ACL state is keyed by sandbox principal SID, so
cleanup only removes ACEs owned by the same backend principal.
- Deny-read ACEs are fail-closed on the elevated path: setup aborts if
mandatory deny-read ACL application fails.
- Unelevated restricted-token sessions reject deny-read overrides early
instead of running with a silently unenforceable read policy.

## Why
`ToolRouter::tool_supports_parallel()` was still consulting configured
specs when a handler lookup missed, even though parallel schedulability
is really a property of the executable handler. Keeping that metadata on
`ConfiguredToolSpec` duplicated state between the model-visible spec
layer and the runtime handler layer.
This change makes handlers the sole source of truth for parallel tool
support and removes the extra spec wrapper that only existed to carry
duplicated metadata.
## What changed
- removed `ConfiguredToolSpec` and store plain `ToolSpec` values in the
registry/router builder path
- changed `ToolRouter::tool_supports_parallel()` to consult only the
handler registry and fall back to `false`
- simplified spec collection and test helpers to operate directly on
`ToolSpec`
- updated router/spec tests to cover handler-owned parallel behavior and
the no-handler fallback

## Docs
No documentation updates needed.
## Why
Older sessions can contain model-warning records persisted as `user`
messages, including the unified exec process-limit warning, the
`apply_patch`-via-`exec_command` warning, and the model-mismatch
high-risk cyber fallback warning. Those warnings are no longer produced
as conversation history items, but when old sessions compact they should
still be recognized as injected context rather than preserved as real
user turns.
## What changed
- Removed `record_model_warning` and the production paths that emitted
these warning messages into conversation history.
- Added `LegacyUnifiedExecProcessLimitWarning`,
`LegacyApplyPatchExecCommandWarning`, and `LegacyModelMismatchWarning`
contextual fragments that are used only for matching old persisted
messages.
- Registered the legacy fragments with contextual user message detection
so compaction filters them through the existing fragment path.
- Added focused compaction coverage for old warning messages being
dropped during compacted-history processing.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core warning`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
`PreToolUse` already exposes `updatedInput` in its hook output schema,
but Codex currently rejects it instead of applying the rewrite. That
leaves hook authors unable to make the documented pre-execution
adjustment to a tool call before it runs.
## What
- Accept `updatedInput` from `PreToolUse` hooks when paired with
`permissionDecision: "allow"`.
- Apply the rewritten input before dispatch so the tool executes the
updated payload, not the original one.
- Preserve the stable hook-facing compatibility shapes that
participating tool handlers expose:
- Bash-like tools (`shell`, `container.exec`, `local_shell`,
`shell_command`, `exec_command`) use `{ "command": ... }`.
- `apply_patch` exposes its patch body through the same command-shaped
hook contract.
- MCP tools expose their JSON argument object directly.
- Keep each participating tool handler responsible for translating
hook-facing `updatedInput` back into its concrete invocation shape.
## Verification
Direct Bash-like rewrite coverage:
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_container_exec_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_local_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_command_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_exec_command_before_execution`
These cases assert that each supported Bash-like surface runs only the
rewritten command while the hook still observes the original `{
"command": ... }` input.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_apply_patch_before_execution`
- Model emits one patch.
- Hook swaps in a different patch.
- Asserts only the rewritten file is created, and the hook saw the
original patch.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_code_mode_nested_exec_command_before_execution`
- Model runs one nested shell command from code mode.
- Hook rewrites it.
- Asserts only the rewritten command runs, and the hook saw the original
nested input.
`pre_tool_use_rewrites_mcp_tool_before_execution`
- Model calls the RMCP echo tool.
- Hook rewrites the MCP arguments.
- Asserts the MCP server receives and returns the rewritten message, not
the original one.
## Summary

metadata and file reads in both local and remote environments

unsandboxed read path

## Summary
Plugin creation now defaults to the personal marketplace path and ends
with a readable handoff back into Codex after a marketplace-backed
scaffold.
Before this change, `plugin-creator` centered repo-local marketplace
updates and did not clearly guide the agent to return the user to the
created plugin afterward. This PR updates the bundled system skill so
marketplace-backed scaffolds default to `~/plugins/<plugin-name>` plus
`~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, ask for user intent only when an
existing repo marketplace makes personal vs team scope ambiguous, and
end with named Markdown deeplinks labeled `View <plugin-name>` and
`Share <plugin-name>`.
## What changed
- default marketplace-backed creation to the personal plugin location
- document the explicit repo/team override path for codebases that
should own the plugin entry
- ask personal vs team only when the current Git repo already has
`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` and the user has not stated scope
- require named Markdown deeplinks after marketplace-backed creation so
the final response returns the user to the exact plugin cleanly
- keep the deeplink targets precise with real absolute `marketplacePath`
and normalized `pluginName` values
- align the bundled prompt, scaffold help text, and marketplace
reference spec with the new default
## Testing
Tests: targeted skill validation, Python compile checks,
personal-default scaffold smoke, repo-override scaffold smoke, and
whitespace checks.
## Why
The MCP tool path had accumulated a few core-owned special cases: a
dedicated payload variant, resolver plumbing, a legacy `AfterToolUse`
translation path, and a side channel for parallel-call metadata. That
made `ToolRegistry` and the spec builder know more about MCP than they
needed to.
This change moves MCP-specific execution details back onto `ToolInfo`
and `McpHandler` so `codex-core` can treat MCP calls like normal
function calls while still preserving MCP-specific dispatch and
telemetry behavior where it belongs.
## What changed
- removed `resolve_mcp_tool_info`, `ToolPayload::Mcp`, `ToolKind`, and
the remaining registry-side MCP resolver path
- stored MCP routing metadata directly on `McpHandler` and `ToolInfo`,
including `supports_parallel_tool_calls`
- deleted the legacy `AfterToolUse` consumer in `core`, which removes
the need for handler-specific `after_tool_use_payload` implementations
- switched tool-result telemetry to handler-provided tags and kept
MCP-specific dispatch payload construction inside the handler
- simplified tool spec planning/building by passing `ToolInfo` directly
and dropping the direct/deferred MCP wrapper structs and the
parallel-server side table
## Testing
- `cargo check -p codex-core -p codex-mcp -p codex-otel`
- `cargo test -p codex-core

- `cargo test -p codex-mcp
list_all_tools_uses_startup_snapshot_while_client_is_pending`
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-mcp -p codex-otel`
## Why
`codex exec-server` should keep the existing public `ws://IP:PORT` URL
shape while serving that websocket connection through an HTTP upgrade
path internally. That keeps the client-facing configuration simple and
allows the listener to work through intermediate HTTP-aware
infrastructure.
## What changed
- keep the emitted and configured exec-server URL as `ws://IP:PORT`
- serve that websocket endpoint through Axum HTTP upgrade handling on
`/`
- expose `GET /readyz` from the same listener for readiness checks
- route upgraded Axum websocket streams through the shared JSON-RPC
connection machinery
- initialize the rustls crypto provider before websocket client
connections
- preserve inbound binary websocket JSON-RPC parsing for compatibility
with the prior transport behavior
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server --test health --test process --test
websocket --test initialize --test exec_process`
## Why
While investigating `codex exec hi` startup latency, the useful
questions were not "is startup slow?" but "which durable bucket is slow
in production?"
The path we observed has a few distinct stages:
1. `thread/start` creates the session
2. startup prewarm builds the turn context, tools, and prompt
3. startup prewarm warms the websocket
4. the first real turn resolves the prewarm
5. the model produces the first token
Before this PR, production telemetry had some of the raw measurements
already:
- aggregate startup-prewarm duration / age-at-first-turn metrics
- TTFT as a metric
- websocket request telemetry
But there was no coherent production event stream for the startup
breakdown itself, and TTFT was metric-only. That made it hard to answer
the same latency questions from OpenTelemetry-backed logs without adding
one-off local instrumentation.
## What changed
Add durable production telemetry on the existing `SessionTelemetry`
path:
- new `codex.startup_phase` OTel log/trace events plus
`codex.startup.phase.duration_ms`
- new `codex.turn_ttft` OTel log/trace events while preserving the
existing TTFT metric
The startup phase event is emitted for the coarse buckets we actually
observed while running `exec hi`:
- `thread_start_create_thread`
- `startup_prewarm_total`
- `startup_prewarm_create_turn_context`
- `startup_prewarm_build_tools`
- `startup_prewarm_build_prompt`
- `startup_prewarm_websocket_warmup`
- `startup_prewarm_resolve`
These phases are intentionally low-cardinality so they remain safe as
production telemetry tags.
## Why this shape
This keeps the instrumentation on the same production path as the rest
of the session telemetry instead of adding a local debug-only trace
mode. It also avoids changing startup behavior:
- prewarm still runs
- no control flow changes
- no extra remote calls
- no user-visible behavior changes
One boundary is intentional: very early process bootstrap that happens
before a session exists is not included here, because this PR uses
session-scoped production telemetry. The expensive buckets we were
trying to understand after `thread/start` are now covered durably.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-otel`
- `cargo test -p codex-core turn_timing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
regular_turn_emits_turn_started_without_waiting_for_startup_prewarm`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
interrupting_regular_turn_waiting_on_startup_prewarm_emits_turn_aborted`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_start`
- `just fix -p codex-otel -p codex-core -p codex-app-server`
I also ran `cargo test -p codex-core`; it built successfully and then
hit an existing unrelated stack overflow in
`tools::handlers::multi_agents::tests::tool_handlers_cascade_close_and_resume_and_keep_explicitly_closed_subtrees_closed`.
## Summary
- add multi-environment apply_patch routing for both freeform and
function-call tool flows
- parse and reconcile the optional environment selector in the main
apply_patch parser, then verify against the selected environment in the
handler
- carry environment_id through runtime and approval surfaces so
remote-targeted patches stay explicit end to end
## Testing
- just fmt
- remote exec-server e2e: `cargo test -p codex-core --test all

## Why
Update `codex remote-control` to use the new app server daemon commands
instead.
- if the updater loop is not running, bootstrap the daemon with remote
control enabled (`codex app-server daemon bootstrap --remote-control`)
- otherwise, enable the persisted remote-control setting and start the
daemon normally
# Why
Managed hook configs need a shared cross-platform shape without making
the existing `command` field polymorphic. The common case is still one
command string, with Windows needing a different entrypoint only when
the runtime is actually Windows.
Keeping `command` as the portable/default path and adding an optional
Windows override keeps the config easier to read, preserves the existing
scalar shape for non-Windows users, and avoids forcing every caller into
a `{ unix, windows }` object when only one platform needs special
handling.
# What
- Add optional `command_windows` / `commandWindows` alongside the
existing hook `command` field.
- Resolve `command_windows` only on Windows during hook discovery; other
platforms continue to use `command` unchanged.
- Keep trust hashing aligned to the effective command selected for the
current runtime.
# Docs
The Codex hooks/config reference should document `command_windows` as
the Windows-only override for command hooks.
## Why
Review telemetry should describe reviews as first-class events, not only
as counters denormalized onto terminal tool-item events. That lets us
analyze guardian and user reviews consistently across command execution,
file changes, permissions, and network access, while still preserving
the terminal item summaries that existing tool analytics need.
To make those review events accurate, analytics also needs the observed
completion time for each review and enough command metadata to
distinguish `shell` from `unified_exec` reviews.
## What changed
- emit generic `codex_review_event` rows for completed user and guardian
reviews, with review subjects, reviewer, trigger, terminal status,
resolution, and observed duration
- reduce approval request / response / abort facts into review events
for command execution, file change, and permissions flows
- keep denormalized review counts, final approval outcome, and
permission-request flags on terminal tool-item events for
item-associated reviews
- plumb review completion timing so user-review responses and aborts use
app-server-observed completion times, while guardian analytics reuse the
same terminal timestamps emitted on guardian assessment events
- carry command approval `source` through the protocol and app-server
layers so review analytics can distinguish `shell` from `unified_exec`
- add analytics coverage for user-review emission, guardian-review
emission, permission reviews that should not denormalize onto tool
items, item-summary isolation across threads, and the serialized
review-event shape
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics`

## Why
The Python SDK needs the same tight formatter/lint loop as the rest of
the repo: a safe Ruff autofix pass, Ruff formatting, editor save
behavior, and CI checks that catch drift. Without that loop, SDK changes
can land with formatting or import ordering that differs from what
reviewers and CI expect.
## What
- Add Ruff configuration to `sdk/python/pyproject.toml`, excluding
generated protocol code and notebooks from the normal lint/format pass.
- Update `just fmt` so it still formats Rust and also runs Python SDK
Ruff autofix and formatting.
- Add Python SDK CI steps for `ruff check` and `ruff format --check`
before pytest.
- Recommend the Ruff VS Code extension and enable Python
format/fix/organize-on-save so Cmd+S uses the same tooling.
- Apply the resulting Ruff formatting to SDK Python files, examples, and
the checked-in generated `v2_all.py` output emitted by the pinned
generator.
- Add a guard test for the `just fmt` recipe so it keeps working from
both Rust and Python SDK working directories.

## Why
The SDK had behavioral tests that replaced SDK client internals. Those
tests could catch wrapper mistakes, but they did not prove the pinned
app-server runtime, generated notification models, request routing, and
sync/async public clients worked together.
This PR adds deterministic integration coverage that starts the pinned
`codex app-server` process and mocks only the upstream Responses HTTP
boundary.
## What
- Add `AppServerHarness` and `MockResponsesServer` helpers for isolated
`CODEX_HOME`, mock-provider config, queued SSE responses, and captured
`/v1/responses` requests.
- Add shared helpers for SSE construction, stream assertions,
approval-policy inspection, and image fixtures.
- Split integration coverage into focused modules for run behavior,
inputs, streaming, turn controls, approvals, and thread lifecycle.
- Cover sync and async `Thread.run`, `TurnHandle.stream`, interleaved
streams, approval-mode persistence, lifecycle helpers, final-answer
phase handling, image inputs, loaded skill input injection, steering,
interruption, listing, history reads, run overrides, and token usage
mapping.
- Replace public-wrapper tests that duplicated integration-test behavior
with lower-level client tests only where direct client behavior is the
thing under test.

## Why
The high-level SDK should expose the approval behavior it actually
supports instead of leaking generated app-server routing fields. New
work should have two clear choices: default auto review, or explicitly
deny escalated permission requests. Existing threads and subsequent
turns should preserve their current approval behavior unless the caller
passes an override.
## What
- Add the public `ApprovalMode` enum with `auto_review` and `deny_all`.
- Default new thread creation to `ApprovalMode.auto_review`.
- Preserve existing approval settings by default for resume, fork, run,
and turn helpers.
- Remove raw `approval_policy` / `approvals_reviewer` kwargs from
high-level SDK wrappers.
- Update generated wrapper output, docs, examples, notebooks, and tests
for the high-level approval mode API.

## Why
The SDK should publish under the reserved public distribution name
`openai-codex`, and its import module should match that name in the
Python style. Since package names can contain hyphens but import modules
cannot, the public import path becomes `openai_codex`.
Keeping the rename separate from the public API surface change makes the
naming change easy to review and avoids mixing it with API curation.
## What
- Rename the SDK distribution from `openai-codex-app-server-sdk` to
`openai-codex`.
- Rename the import package from `codex_app_server` to `openai_codex`.
- Keep the runtime wheel as the separate `openai-codex-cli-bin`
dependency.
- Update docs, examples, notebooks, artifact scripts, lockfile metadata,
and tests for the new distribution/module names.

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
## Why
The SDK package root should be the ergonomic public client API, not a
dump of every generated app-server schema type. Generated models still
need a supported import path, but callers should be able to tell which
names are high-level SDK entrypoints and which names are protocol value
models.
## What
- Define a curated root `__all__` for clients, handles, input helpers,
retry helpers, config, and public errors.
- Add a `types` module as the supported home for generated app-server
response, event, enum, and helper models.
- Update docs and examples to import protocol/value models from the type
module.
- Add tests that lock root exports, type-module exports, star-import
behavior, and example import hygiene.

## Why
The Python SDK stack now depends on packaging metadata, pinned runtime
wheels, generated artifacts, async behavior, and stream interleaving.
Those checks need to run in CI so future changes cannot bypass the SDK
test suite.
## What
- Add a dedicated `python-sdk` job to `.github/workflows/sdk.yml`.
- Run the job in `python:3.12-alpine` so dependency resolution exercises
the pinned musl runtime wheel.
- Keep the Python SDK test job parallel to the existing SDK job instead
of serializing the full workflow.

## Why
Once the SDK declares its runtime package, generated Python artifacts
should come from that pinned runtime rather than whatever app-server
schema happens to be in the current checkout. That keeps the generated
API and model surface aligned with the runtime users install.
## What
- Teach `scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py generate-types` to invoke the
pinned runtime package for schema generation.
- Regenerate `v2_all.py`, `notification_registry.py`, and generated
public wrapper methods from that schema.
- Add freshness coverage so regenerating from the pinned runtime must
leave checked-in artifacts unchanged.

## Why
The Python SDK depends on the app-server runtime package for the bundled
`codex` binary and schema source of truth. That relationship should be
explicit in package metadata instead of inferred from matching version
numbers, so installers, lockfiles, and reviewers can see exactly which
runtime the SDK expects.
## What
- Declare `openai-codex-cli-bin==0.131.0a4` as a Python SDK dependency.
- Update runtime setup helpers to resolve the runtime version from the
declared dependency pin.
- Refresh the SDK lockfile for the pinned runtime wheel.
- Update package/runtime tests and docs that describe where the runtime
version comes from.

## 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)

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

## Summary
- revoke previously stored managed ChatGPT tokens after a successful
re-login
- keep the new login successful even when revocation is unavailable or
fails
- cover the shared persistence path used by browser and device-code
login flows
## Why
A new `codex login` currently overwrites existing managed ChatGPT
credentials without attempting to revoke the superseded tokens, leaving
old credentials valid longer than necessary.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `CARGO_HOME=/tmp/cargo-home cargo test -p codex-login`
## Notes
- Initial local Cargo validation hit a corrupt existing crate cache in
the default `CARGO_HOME`; rerunning with a clean temporary `CARGO_HOME`
passed.

## Why
`bootstrap` starts a detached pid-backed updater loop, but before this
change that updater could keep running an old executable image even
after `install.sh` replaced the managed standalone binary under
`CODEX_HOME`. That left the updater itself behind the binary it had just
rolled out, especially when the app-server was stopped or when the
managed binary changed without a version-string change.
## What changed
- Track updater identity from the executable contents rather than only
the reported CLI version.
- Force the managed app-server restart path when the managed binary
contents differ from the running updater image, then re-exec the updater
from the managed binary once the rollout is in a safe state.
- Distinguish a genuinely absent managed app-server from a managed
process that exists but is not yet probeable, so self-refresh does not
skip a required restart.
- Keep the restart/re-exec decision under the daemon operation lock so
`bootstrap` cannot race the handoff.
- Update `app-server-daemon/README.md` to document the resulting
standalone and out-of-band update behavior.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-daemon`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-daemon`
Added focused unit coverage for:
- content-based updater refresh decisions
- safe updater re-exec outcomes across restart states
## Summary
Fixes#22128.
The `/keymap` flow already persists the `-` key as `minus`, and the
runtime keymap parser already accepts that spelling. `codex-config` was
the missing leg: it rejected `minus` during config deserialization, so a
binding saved by Codex could fail on the next startup or config reload.
## What Changed
- Accept `minus` as a valid canonical key name in `tui.keymap` config
normalization.
- Update the config validation message so its supported-key list
includes `minus`.
- Add regression coverage that deserializes both `minus` and `alt-minus`
under `[tui.keymap.global]` and verifies the normalized config shape.
## How to Test
1. Start Codex TUI.
2. Run `/keymap`.
3. Assign the `-` key to an action and save the change.
4. Restart Codex or reload the config.
5. Confirm the config loads normally and the saved binding remains
usable instead of failing on `minus`.
6. As a focused regression check, repeat with a modifier form such as
`alt--` captured through `/keymap`, which persists as `alt-minus` and
should also reload successfully.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
## Why
We've added support for auth elicitation behind the auth_elicitation
flag, but servers need to explicitly check the capability before it
decides to send elicitations in order to be backward compatible. This PR
adds the capability advertising conditioned on the flag.
## What changed
- Build `client_elicitation_capability` from the `AuthElicitation`
feature state.
- Thread that capability through MCP config, session startup, and
`McpConnectionManager` so RMCP initialization advertises the correct
elicitation support.
- Advertise both `form` and `url` elicitation when the feature is
enabled, and preserve the empty default capability when it is disabled.
- Add coverage for the feature-derived config shape and the advertised
initialization payload.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
to_mcp_config_preserves_auth_elicitation_feature_from_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` *(currently fails outside this change in
`tools::handlers::multi_agents::tests::tool_handlers_cascade_close_and_resume_and_keep_explicitly_closed_subtrees_closed`
with a stack overflow after unrelated tests have started running)*
## Why
Managed requirements can already centrally disable apps, but they could
not express the per-tool app approval rules that normal config already
supports. That left admins without a way to enforce connector tool
approvals through `/etc/codex/requirements.toml` or cloud requirements.
## What changed
- Extend app requirements with per-tool `approval_mode` entries.
- Merge managed app tool requirements across managed sources while
preserving higher-precedence exact tool settings.
- Apply managed tool approvals separately from user app config so
managed policy is matched only on raw MCP `tool.name`, while user config
keeps the existing raw-name-then-title convenience fallback.
- Add coverage for local requirements, cloud requirements parsing,
managed-over-user precedence, and a title-collision case that must not
widen managed auto-approval.
## Configuration shape
Local `/etc/codex/requirements.toml` and cloud requirements use the same
TOML shape:
```toml
[apps.connector_123123.tools."calendar/list_events"]
approval_mode = "approve"
```
This is a per-tool approval rule keyed by app ID and raw MCP tool name,
not an app-level boolean such as `apps.connector_123123.approve = true`.
## Why
Managed filesystem `deny_read` requirements are administrator-enforced
restrictions on specific paths. Once those requirements are active,
Codex should not drop them just because an execution path would
otherwise leave the sandbox.
Before this change, an explicit escalation, a prefix-rule allow, a
sandbox-denial retry, or an app-server legacy sandbox override could
rebuild the runtime policy without those managed read-deny entries and
expose a path the administrator had marked unreadable.
This is narrower than general sandbox-mode constraints. If an enterprise
only sets `allowed_sandbox_modes`, a trusted `prefix_rule(..., decision
= "allow")` can still run its matching command unsandboxed; this PR only
preserves managed filesystem `deny_read` restrictions across those
paths.
## What Changed
- Mark filesystem policies built from managed `deny_read` requirements
so callers can tell when those deny entries must survive escalation.
- Preserve managed deny-read entries when runtime permission profiles
are rebuilt through protocol, app-server, or legacy sandbox-policy
compatibility paths.
- Keep managed deny-read attempts inside the selected sandbox on the
first attempt and after sandbox-denial retries.
- Preserve the same behavior in the zsh-fork escalation path, including
prefix-rule-driven escalation.
- Add a regression test showing the opposite case too: without managed
deny-read, a prefix-rule allow still chooses unsandboxed execution.

## Summary
Remote clients can still receive large `thread/resume` histories when
prior turns include MCP tool call payloads or image-generation results.
This adds a temporary response-only redaction path for the known remote
client names.
Longer term we will move towards fully paginated APIs backed by SQLite.
## Changes
- Redact MCP tool call payload-bearing fields in `thread/resume`
responses for `codex_chatgpt_android_remote` and
`codex_chatgpt_ios_remote`.
- Drop `imageGeneration` items from those `thread/resume` responses.
- Keep redaction out of persisted rollout files, `thread/read`,
`thread/turns/list`, live notifications, and token usage replay.
- Cover the behavior with app-server helper tests and a v2 resume
integration test that checks both remote clients plus a non-target
control client.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_resume_redaction`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
thread_resume_redacts_payloads_for_chatgpt_remote_clients`
## Summary
This is the `exec-server` follow-up to #21759.
#21759 fixed the Windows `taskkill` output leak for the `rmcp-client`
MCP teardown path, but #22050 showed that `exec-server` still had a
parallel `taskkill /T /F` cleanup path in
`exec-server/src/connection.rs`. Because that command inherited the
parent stdio handles, Windows could still print `SUCCESS:` lines into
the user's terminal during stdio child cleanup.
This change silences that remaining `exec-server` callsite by
redirecting `taskkill` stdin, stdout, and stderr to `Stdio::null()`.
## What Changed
- add a Windows-only `Stdio` import in `exec-server/src/connection.rs`
- redirect the `taskkill` command in `kill_windows_process_tree` to
`Stdio::null()` for stdin, stdout, and stderr
- keep the existing kill semantics unchanged by still checking
`.status()` and preserving the existing fallback/logging behavior
## How to Test
Manual validation is Windows-only, so I did not run the UI repro path
locally here.
1. On Windows, use a Codex build from this branch.
2. Exercise an `exec-server` stdio flow that spawns a child process tree
and then triggers transport cleanup.
3. Confirm the child process tree is still torn down.
4. Confirm the terminal no longer shows `SUCCESS: The process with PID
... has been terminated.` lines during cleanup.
Targeted tests:

- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server

Notes:
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server` still hits unrelated local macOS
`sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted` failures in
`tests/file_system.rs`.
## References
- Fixes the remaining callsite discussed in #22050
- Related earlier fix: #21759
## Summary
Restricts behavior of `is_known_safe_command` only to modes where it is
explicitly part of the documented behavior:
- when `environment_lacks_sandbox_protections`
- in `AskForApproval::UnlessTrusted`
Notably, as a result of this, escalations for commands that pass
`is_known_safe_commands` are no longer auto-approved in

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 SQLite init, backfill-gate, and fallback telemetry without
introducing a cross-cutting state-db access wrapper
- install one process-scoped telemetry sink after OTEL startup and let
low-level state/rollout paths emit through it directly
- add process-start metrics for the process owners that initialize
SQLite

## Summary
- accumulate completed tool-item counts per turn from the item lifecycle
- populate the reserved count fields on `codex_turn_event`
- add reducer coverage for zero-count turns and mixed completed tool
items
## Why
PR #17090 moved tool-item analytics onto the item lifecycle, so the turn
reducer can now derive the per-turn tool counts from the same completed
items instead of leaving the reserved fields null.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics`
