## What changed
- TypeScript schema fixture generation now goes through in-memory tree
helpers rather than a heavier on-disk generation path.
- The comparison logic normalizes generated banner and path differences
that are not semantically relevant to the exported schema.
- TypeScript and JSON fixture coverage are split into separate tests,
and the expensive schema-export tests are serialized in `nextest`.
## Why this fixes the flake
- The original fixture coverage mixed several heavy codegen paths into
one monolithic test and then compared generated output that included
incidental banner/path differences.
- On Windows CI, that combination created both runtime pressure and
output variance unrelated to the schema shapes we actually care about.
- Splitting the coverage isolates failures by format, in-memory
generation reduces filesystem churn, normalization strips generator
noise, and serializing the heavy tests removes parallel resource
contention.
## Scope
- Production helper change plus test changes.
We started working with MCP in Codex before
https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
8b95d3e082/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
Note this PR results in a number of changes to
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
```diff
- export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
+ export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
```typescript
export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
```
so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
great concern.
Similarly, we have the following change in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
```
- export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
+ export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so:
- `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`

Adding a `--experimental` flag to the `generate-ts` fct in the
app-sever.
It can be called through one of those 2 command
```
just write-app-server-schema --experimental
codex app-server generate-ts --experimental
```
Similar to what @sayan-oai did in openai/codex#8956 for
`config.schema.json`, this PR updates the repo so that it includes the
output of `codex app-server generate-json-schema` and `codex app-server
generate-ts` and adds a test to verify it is in sync with the current
code.
Motivation:
- This makes any schema changes introduced by a PR transparent during
code review.
- In particular, this should help us catch PRs that would introduce a
non-backwards-compatible change to the app schema (eventually, this
should also be enforced by tooling).
- Once https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10231 is in to formalize the
notion of "experimental" fields, we can work on ensuring the
non-experimental bits are backwards-compatible.
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/tests/schema_fixtures.rs` was added as the
test and `just write-app-server-schema` can be use to generate the
vendored schema files.
Incidentally, when I run:
```
rg _ codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/v2
```
I see a number of `snake_case` names that should be `camelCase`.
