Addresses #15943
Problem: Name-based resume could stop on a newer session_index entry
whose rollout was never persisted, shadowing an older saved thread with
the same name.
Solution: Materialize rollouts before indexing thread names and make
name lookup skip unresolved entries until it finds a persisted rollout.
Adds the `[realtime].transport = "webrtc"` TUI media path using a new
`codex-realtime-webrtc` crate, while leaving app-server as the
signaling/event source.\n\nLocal checks: fmt, diff-check, dependency
tree only; test signal should come from CI.

## TL;DR
- Fetches account/rateLimits/read asynchronously so the TUI can continue
starting without waiting for the rate-limit response.
- Fixes the /status card so it no longer leaves a stale “refreshing
cached limits...” notice in terminal history.
## Problem
The TUI bootstrap path fetched account rate limits synchronously
(`account/rateLimits/read`) before the event loop started for
ChatGPT/OpenAI-authenticated startups. This added ~670 ms of blocking
latency in the measured hot-start case, even though rate-limit data is
not needed to render the initial UI or accept user input. The delay was
especially noticeable on hot starts where every other RPC
(`account/read`, `model/list`, `thread/start`) completed in under 70 ms
total.
Moving that fetch to the background also exposed a `/status` UI bug: the
status card is flattened into terminal scrollback when it is inserted. A
transient "refreshing limits in background..." line could not be cleared
later, because the async completion updated the retained `HistoryCell`,
not the already-written terminal history.
## Mental model
Before this change, `AppServerSession::bootstrap()` performed three
sequential RPCs: `account/read` → `model/list` →
`account/rateLimits/read`. The result of the third call was baked into
`AppServerBootstrap` and applied to the chat widget before the event
loop began.
After this change, `bootstrap()` only performs two RPCs (`account/read`
+ `model/list`), and rate-limit fetching is kicked off as an async
background task immediately after the first frame is scheduled. A new
enum, `RateLimitRefreshOrigin`, tags each fetch so the event handler
knows whether the result came from the startup prefetch or from a
user-initiated `/status` command; they have different completion
side-effects.
The `get_login_status()` helper (used outside the main app flow) was
also decoupled: it previously called the full `bootstrap()` just to
check auth mode, wasting model-list and rate-limit work. It now calls
the narrower `read_account()` directly.
For `/status`, this PR keeps the background refresh request but stops
printing transient refresh notices into status history when cached
limits are already available. If a refresh updates the cache, the next
`/status` command will render the new values.
## Non-goals
- This change does not alter the rate-limit data itself.
- This change does not introduce caching, retries, or staleness
management for rate limits.
- This change does not affect the `model/list` or `thread/start` RPCs;
they remain on the critical startup path.
## Tradeoffs
- **Stale-on-first-render**: The status bar will briefly show no
rate-limit info until the background fetch completes; observed
background fetches landed roughly in the 400-900 ms range after the UI
appeared. This is acceptable because the user cannot meaningfully act on
rate-limit data in the first fraction of a second.
- **Error silence on startup prefetch**: If the startup prefetch fails,
the error is logged but the UI is not notified (unlike `/status` refresh
failures, which go through the status-command completion path). This
avoids surfacing transient network errors as a startup blocker.
- **Static `/status` history**: `/status` output is terminal history,
not a live widget. The card now avoids progress-style language that
would appear stuck in scrollback; users can run `/status` again to see
newly cached values.
- **`account_auth_mode` field removed from `AppServerBootstrap`**: The
only consumer was `get_login_status()`, which no longer goes through
`bootstrap()`. The field was dead weight.
## Architecture
### New types
- `RateLimitRefreshOrigin` (in `app_event.rs`): A `Copy` enum
distinguishing `StartupPrefetch` from `StatusCommand { request_id }`.
Carried through `RefreshRateLimits` and `RateLimitsLoaded` events so the
handler applies the right completion behavior.
### Modified types
- `AppServerBootstrap`: Lost `account_auth_mode` and
`rate_limit_snapshots`; gained `requires_openai_auth: bool` (passed
through from the account response so the caller can decide whether to
fire the prefetch).
### Control flow
1. `bootstrap()` returns with `requires_openai_auth` and
`has_chatgpt_account`.
2. After scheduling the first frame, `App::run_inner` fires
`refresh_rate_limits(StartupPrefetch)` if both flags are true.
3. When `RateLimitsLoaded { StartupPrefetch, Ok(..) }` arrives,
snapshots are applied and a frame is scheduled to repaint the status
bar.
4. When `RateLimitsLoaded { StartupPrefetch, Err(..) }` arrives, the
error is logged and no UI update occurs.
5. `/status`-initiated refreshes continue to use `StatusCommand {
request_id }` and call `finish_status_rate_limit_refresh` on completion
(success or failure).
6. `/status` history cells with cached rate-limit rows no longer render
an additional "refreshing limits" notice; the async refresh updates the
cache for future status output.
### Extracted method
- `AppServerSession::read_account()`: Factored out of `bootstrap()` so
that `get_login_status()` can call it independently without triggering
model-list or rate-limit work.
## Observability
- The existing `tracing::warn!` for rate-limit fetch failures is
preserved for the startup path.
- No new metrics or spans are introduced. The startup-time improvement
is observable via the existing `ready` timestamp in TUI startup logs.
## Tests
- Existing tests in `status_command_tests.rs` are updated to match on
`RateLimitRefreshOrigin::StatusCommand { request_id }` instead of a bare
`request_id`.
- Focused `/status` tests now assert that status history avoids
transient refresh text, continues to request an async refresh, and uses
refreshed cached limits in future status output.
- No new tests are added for the startup prefetch path because it is a
fire-and-forget spawn with no observable side-effect other than the
widget state update, which is already covered by the
snapshot-application tests.

Fast Mode status was still tied to one model name in the TUI and
model-list plumbing. This changes the model metadata shape so a model
can advertise additional speed tiers, carries that field through the
app-server model list, and uses it to decide when to show Fast Mode
status.
For people using Codex, the behavior is intended to stay the same for
existing models. Fast Mode still requires the existing signed-in /
feature-gated path; the difference is that the UI can now recognize any
model the model list marks as Fast-capable, instead of requiring a new
client-side slug check.
Adds WebRTC startup to the experimental app-server
`thread/realtime/start` method with an optional transport enum. The
websocket path remains the default; WebRTC offers create the realtime
session through the shared start flow and emit the answer SDP via
`thread/realtime/sdp`.

## Summary
- reduce public module visibility across Rust crates, preferring private
or crate-private modules with explicit crate-root public exports
- update external call sites and tests to use the intended public crate
APIs instead of reaching through module trees
- add the module visibility guideline to AGENTS.md
## Validation
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --message-format=short` passed
before the final fix/format pass
- `just fix` completed successfully
- `just fmt` completed successfully
- `git diff --check` passed
Addresses #16832
Problem: After `/fast on`, the TUI omitted an explicit service-tier
clear on later turns, so `/fast off` left app-server sessions stuck on
`priority` until restart.
Solution: Always submit the current service tier with user turns,
including an explicit clear when Fast mode is off, and add a regression
test for the `/fast on` -> `/fast off` flow.
# Why this PR exists
This PR is trying to fix a coverage gap in the Windows Bazel Rust test
lane.
Before this change, the Windows `bazel test //...` job was nominally
part of PR CI, but a non-trivial set of `//codex-rs/...` Rust test
targets did not actually contribute test signal on Windows. In
particular, targets such as `//codex-rs/core:core-unit-tests`,
`//codex-rs/core:core-all-test`, and `//codex-rs/login:login-unit-tests`
were incompatible during Bazel analysis on the Windows gnullvm platform,
so they never reached test execution there. That is why the
Cargo-powered Windows CI job could surface Windows-only failures that
the Bazel-powered job did not report: Cargo was executing those tests,
while Bazel was silently dropping them from the runnable target set.
The main goal of this PR is to make the Windows Bazel test lane execute
those Rust test targets instead of skipping them during analysis, while
still preserving `windows-gnullvm` as the target configuration for the
code under test. In other words: use an MSVC host/exec toolchain where
Bazel helper binaries and build scripts need it, but continue compiling
the actual crate targets with the Windows gnullvm cfgs that our current
Bazel matrix is supposed to exercise.
# Important scope note
This branch intentionally removes the non-resource-loading `.rs` test
and production-code changes from the earlier
`codex/windows-bazel-rust-test-coverage` branch. The only Rust source
changes kept here are runfiles/resource-loading fixes in TUI tests:
- `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui/tests/manager_dependency_regression.rs`
That is deliberate. Since the corresponding tests already pass under
Cargo, this PR is meant to test whether Bazel infrastructure/toolchain
fixes alone are enough to get a healthy Windows Bazel test signal,
without changing test behavior for Windows timing, shell output, or
SQLite file-locking.
# How this PR changes the Windows Bazel setup
## 1. Split Windows host/exec and target concerns in the Bazel test lane
The core change is that the Windows Bazel test job now opts into an MSVC
host platform for Bazel execution-time tools, but only for `bazel test`,
not for the Bazel clippy build.
Files:
- `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
- `.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh`
- `MODULE.bazel`
What changed:
- `run-bazel-ci.sh` now accepts `--windows-msvc-host-platform`.
- When that flag is present on Windows, the wrapper appends
`--host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc` unless the caller already
provided an explicit `--host_platform`.
- `bazel.yml` passes that wrapper flag only for the Windows `bazel test
//...` job.
- The Bazel clippy job intentionally does **not** pass that flag, so
clippy stays on the default Windows gnullvm host/exec path and continues
linting against the target cfgs we care about.
- `run-bazel-ci.sh` also now forwards `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH` on
Windows and normalizes the `node` executable path with `cygpath -w`, so
tests that need Node resolve the runner's Node installation correctly
under the Windows Bazel test environment.
Why this helps:
- The original incompatibility chain was mostly on the **exec/tool**
side of the graph, not in the Rust test code itself. Moving host tools
to MSVC lets Bazel resolve helper binaries and generators that were not
viable on the gnullvm exec platform.
- Keeping the target platform on gnullvm preserves cfg coverage for the
crates under test, which is important because some Windows behavior
differs between `msvc` and `gnullvm`.
## 2. Teach the repo's Bazel Rust macro about Windows link flags and
integration-test knobs
Files:
- `defs.bzl`
- `codex-rs/core/BUILD.bazel`
- `codex-rs/otel/BUILD.bazel`
- `codex-rs/tui/BUILD.bazel`
What changed:
- Replaced the old gnullvm-only linker flag block with
`WINDOWS_RUSTC_LINK_FLAGS`, which now handles both Windows ABIs:
- gnullvm gets `-C link-arg=-Wl,--stack,8388608`
- MSVC gets `-C link-arg=/STACK:8388608`, `-C
link-arg=/NODEFAULTLIB:libucrt.lib`, and `-C link-arg=ucrt.lib`
- Threaded those Windows link flags into generated `rust_binary`,
unit-test binaries, and integration-test binaries.
- Extended `codex_rust_crate(...)` with:
- `integration_test_args`
- `integration_test_timeout`
- Used those new knobs to:
- mark `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` as a long-running integration
test
- serialize `//codex-rs/otel:otel-all-test` with `--test-threads=1`
- Added `src/**/*.rs` to `codex-rs/tui` test runfiles, because one
regression test scans source files at runtime and Bazel does not expose
source-tree directories unless they are declared as data.
Why this helps:
- Once host-side MSVC tools are available, we still need the generated
Rust test binaries to link correctly on Windows. The MSVC-side
stack/UCRT flags make those binaries behave more like their Cargo-built
equivalents.
- The integration-test macro knobs avoid hardcoding one-off test
behavior in ad hoc BUILD rules and make the generated test targets more
expressive where Bazel and Cargo have different runtime defaults.
## 3. Patch `rules_rs` / `rules_rust` so Windows MSVC exec-side Rust and
build scripts are actually usable
Files:
- `MODULE.bazel`
- `patches/rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
- `patches/BUILD.bazel`
What these patches do:
- `rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- Adds a `rust-lld` filegroup for Windows Rust toolchain repos,
symlinked to `lld-link.exe` from `PATH`.
- Marks Windows toolchains as using a direct linker driver.
- Supplies Windows stdlib link flags for both gnullvm and MSVC.
- `rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- For Windows MSVC Rust targets, prefers the Rust toolchain linker over
an inherited C++ linker path like `clang++`.
- This specifically avoids the broken mixed-mode command line where
rustc emits MSVC-style `/NOLOGO` / `/LIBPATH:` / `/OUT:` arguments but
Bazel still invokes `clang++.exe`.
- `rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- Normalizes forward-slash execroot-relative paths into Windows path
separators before joining them on Windows.
- Uses short Windows paths for `RUSTC`, `OUT_DIR`, and the build-script
working directory to avoid path-length and quoting issues in third-party
build scripts.
- Exposes `RULES_RUST_BAZEL_BUILD_SCRIPT_RUNNER=1` to build scripts so
crate-local patches can detect "this is running under Bazel's
build-script runner".
- Fixes the Windows runfiles cleanup filter so generated files with
retained suffixes are actually retained.
- `rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- For exec-side Windows MSVC build scripts, stops force-injecting
Bazel's `CC`, `CXX`, `LD`, `CFLAGS`, and `CXXFLAGS` when that would send
GNU-flavored tool paths/flags into MSVC-oriented Cargo build scripts.
- Rewrites or strips GNU-only `--sysroot`, MinGW include/library paths,
stack-protector, and `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` flags on the MSVC exec path.
- The practical effect is that build scripts can fall back to the Visual
Studio toolchain environment already exported by CI instead of crashing
inside Bazel's hermetic `clang.exe` setup.
- `rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- When using a direct linker on Windows, stops forwarding GNU driver
flags such as `-L...` and `--sysroot=...` that `lld-link.exe` does not
understand.
- Passes non-`.lib` native artifacts as explicit `-Clink-arg=<path>`
entries when needed.
- Filters C++ runtime libraries to `.lib` artifacts on the Windows
direct-driver path.
- `rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
- Excludes transient `*.tmp*` and `*.rcgu.o` files from process-wrapper
dependency search-path consolidation, so unstable compiler outputs do
not get treated as real link search-path inputs.
Why this helps:
- The host-platform split alone was not enough. Once Bazel started
analyzing/running previously incompatible Rust tests on Windows, the
next failures were in toolchain plumbing:
- MSVC-targeted Rust tests were being linked through `clang++` with
MSVC-style arguments.
- Cargo build scripts running under Bazel's Windows MSVC exec platform
were handed Unix/GNU-flavored path and flag shapes.
- Some generated paths were too long or had path-separator forms that
third-party Windows build scripts did not tolerate.
- These patches make that mixed Bazel/Cargo/Rust/MSVC path workable
enough for the test lane to actually build and run the affected crates.
## 4. Patch third-party crate build scripts that were not robust under
Bazel's Windows MSVC build-script path
Files:
- `MODULE.bazel`
- `patches/aws-lc-sys_windows_msvc_prebuilt_nasm.patch`
- `patches/ring_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/zstd-sys_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
What changed:
- `aws-lc-sys`
- Detects Bazel's Windows MSVC build-script runner via
`RULES_RUST_BAZEL_BUILD_SCRIPT_RUNNER` or a `bazel-out` manifest-dir
path.
- Uses `clang-cl` for Bazel Windows MSVC builds when no explicit
`CC`/`CXX` is set.
- Allows prebuilt NASM on the Bazel Windows MSVC path even when `nasm`
is not available directly in the runner environment.
- Avoids canonicalizing `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` in the Bazel Windows MSVC
case, because that path may point into Bazel output/runfiles state where
preserving the given path is more reliable than forcing a local
filesystem canonicalization.
- `ring`
- Under the Bazel Windows MSVC build-script runner, copies the
pregenerated source tree into `OUT_DIR` and uses that as the
generated-source root.
- Adds include paths needed by MSVC compilation for
Fiat/curve25519/P-256 generated headers.
- Rewrites a few relative includes in C sources so the added include
directories are sufficient.
- `zstd-sys`
- Adds MSVC-only include directories for `compress`, `decompress`, and
feature-gated dictionary/legacy/seekable sources.
- Skips `-fvisibility=hidden` on MSVC targets, where that
GCC/Clang-style flag is not the right mechanism.
Why this helps:
- After the `rules_rust` plumbing started running build scripts on the
Windows MSVC exec path, some third-party crates still failed for
crate-local reasons: wrong compiler choice, missing include directories,
build-script assumptions about manifest paths, or Unix-only C compiler
flags.
- These crate patches address those crate-local assumptions so the
larger toolchain change can actually reach first-party Rust test
execution.
## 5. Keep the only `.rs` test changes to Bazel/Cargo runfiles parity
Files:
- `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui/tests/manager_dependency_regression.rs`
What changed:
- Instead of asking `find_resource!` for a directory runfile like
`src/chatwidget/snapshots` or `src`, these tests now resolve one known
file runfile first and then walk to its parent directory.
Why this helps:
- Bazel runfiles are more reliable for explicitly declared files than
for source-tree directories that happen to exist in a Cargo checkout.
- This keeps the tests working under both Cargo and Bazel without
changing their actual assertions.
# What we tried before landing on this shape, and why those attempts did
not work
## Attempt 1: Force `--host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc` for all
Windows Bazel jobs
This did make the previously incompatible test targets show up during
analysis, but it also pushed the Bazel clippy job and some unrelated
build actions onto the MSVC exec path.
Why that was bad:
- Windows clippy started running third-party Cargo build scripts with
Bazel's MSVC exec settings and crashed in crates such as `tree-sitter`
and `libsqlite3-sys`.
- That was a regression in a job that was previously giving useful
gnullvm-targeted lint signal.
What this PR does instead:
- The wrapper flag is opt-in, and `bazel.yml` uses it only for the
Windows `bazel test` lane.
- The clippy lane stays on the default Windows gnullvm host/exec
configuration.
## Attempt 2: Broaden the `rules_rust` linker override to all Windows
Rust actions
This fixed the MSVC test-lane failure where normal `rust_test` targets
were linked through `clang++` with MSVC-style arguments, but it broke
the default gnullvm path.
Why that was bad:
-
`@@rules_rs++rules_rust+rules_rust//util/process_wrapper:process_wrapper`
on the gnullvm exec platform started linking with `lld-link.exe` and
then failed to resolve MinGW-style libraries such as `-lkernel32`,
`-luser32`, and `-lmingw32`.
What this PR does instead:
- The linker override is restricted to Windows MSVC targets only.
- The gnullvm path keeps its original linker behavior, while MSVC uses
the direct Windows linker.
## Attempt 3: Keep everything on pure Windows gnullvm and patch the V8 /
Python incompatibility chain instead
This would have preserved a single Windows ABI everywhere, but it is a
much larger project than this PR.
Why that was not the practical first step:
- The original incompatibility chain ran through exec-side generators
and helper tools, not only through crate code.
- `third_party/v8` is already special-cased on Windows gnullvm because
`rusty_v8` only publishes Windows prebuilts under MSVC names.
- Fixing that path likely means deeper changes in
V8/rules_python/rules_rust toolchain resolution and generator execution,
not just one local CI flag.
What this PR does instead:
- Keep gnullvm for the target cfgs we want to exercise.
- Move only the Windows test lane's host/exec platform to MSVC, then
patch the build-script/linker boundary enough for that split
configuration to work.
## Attempt 4: Validate compatibility with `bazel test --nobuild ...`
This turned out to be a misleading local validation command.
Why:
- `bazel test --nobuild ...` can successfully analyze targets and then
still exit 1 with "Couldn't start the build. Unable to run tests"
because there are no runnable test actions after `--nobuild`.
Better local check:
```powershell
bazel build --nobuild --keep_going --host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc //codex-rs/login:login-unit-tests //codex-rs/core:core-unit-tests //codex-rs/core:core-all-test
```
# Which patches probably deserve upstream follow-up
My rough take is that the `rules_rs` / `rules_rust` patches are the
highest-value upstream candidates, because they are fixing generic
Windows host/exec + MSVC direct-linker behavior rather than
Codex-specific test logic.
Strong upstream candidates:
- `patches/rules_rs_windows_exec_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_bootstrap_process_wrapper_linker.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_build_script_runner_paths.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_exec_msvc_build_script_env.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_msvc_direct_link_args.patch`
- `patches/rules_rust_windows_process_wrapper_skip_temp_outputs.patch`
Why these seem upstreamable:
- They address general-purpose problems in the Windows MSVC exec path:
- missing direct-linker exposure for Rust toolchains
- wrong linker selection when rustc emits MSVC-style args
- Windows path normalization/short-path issues in the build-script
runner
- forwarding GNU-flavored CC/link flags into MSVC Cargo build scripts
- unstable temp outputs polluting process-wrapper search-path state
Potentially upstreamable crate patches, but likely with more care:
- `patches/zstd-sys_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/ring_windows_msvc_include_dirs.patch`
- `patches/aws-lc-sys_windows_msvc_prebuilt_nasm.patch`
Notes on those:
- The `zstd-sys` and `ring` include-path fixes look fairly generic for
MSVC/Bazel build-script environments and may be straightforward to
propose upstream after we confirm CI stability.
- The `aws-lc-sys` patch is useful, but it includes a Bazel-specific
environment probe and CI-specific compiler fallback behavior. That
probably needs a cleaner upstream-facing shape before sending it out, so
upstream maintainers are not forced to adopt Codex's exact CI
assumptions.
Probably not worth upstreaming as-is:
- The repo-local Starlark/test target changes in `defs.bzl`,
`codex-rs/*/BUILD.bazel`, and `.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh` are
mostly Codex-specific policy and CI wiring, not generic rules changes.
# Validation notes for reviewers
On this branch, I ran the following local checks after dropping the
non-resource-loading Rust edits:
```powershell
cargo test -p codex-tui
just --shell 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe' --shell-arg -lc -- fix -p codex-tui
python .\tools\argument-comment-lint\run-prebuilt-linter.py -p codex-tui
just --shell 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe' --shell-arg -lc fmt
```
One local caveat:
- `just argument-comment-lint` still fails on this Windows machine for
an unrelated Bazel toolchain-resolution issue in
`//codex-rs/exec:exec-all-test`, so I used the direct prebuilt linter
for `codex-tui` as the local fallback.
# Expected reviewer takeaway
If this PR goes green, the important conclusion is that the Windows
Bazel test coverage gap was primarily a Bazel host/exec toolchain
problem, not a need to make the Rust tests themselves Windows-specific.
That would be a strong signal that the deleted non-resource-loading Rust
test edits from the earlier branch should stay out, and that future work
should focus on upstreaming the generic `rules_rs` / `rules_rust`
Windows fixes and reducing the crate-local patch surface.
The `OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable has been a significant
support issue, so we decided to deprecate it in favor of an
`openai_base_url` config key. We've had the deprecation warning in place
for about a month, so users have had time to migrate to the new
mechanism. This PR removes support for `OPENAI_BASE_URL` entirely.
Stacked on #16508.
This removes the temporary `codex-core` / `codex-login` re-export shims
from the ownership split and rewrites callsites to import directly from
`codex-model-provider-info`, `codex-models-manager`, `codex-api`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-feedback`, and `codex-response-debug-context`.
No behavior change intended; this is the mechanical import cleanup layer
split out from the ownership move.

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
## Why
This finishes the config-type move out of `codex-core` by removing the
temporary compatibility shim in `codex_core::config::types`. Callers now
depend on `codex-config` directly, which keeps these config model types
owned by the config crate instead of re-expanding `codex-core` as a
transitive API surface.
## What Changed
- Removed the `codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` re-export shim and the
`core::config::ApprovalsReviewer` re-export.
- Updated `codex-core`, `codex-cli`, `codex-tui`, `codex-app-server`,
`codex-mcp-server`, and `codex-linux-sandbox` call sites to import
`codex_config::types` directly.
- Added explicit `codex-config` dependencies to downstream crates that
previously relied on the `codex-core` re-export.
- Regenerated `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json` after updating the
config docs path reference.
Addresses #16283
Problem: TUI app-server permission approvals could drop filesystem
grants because request and response payloads were round-tripped through
mismatched camelCase and snake_case JSON shapes.
Solution: Replace the lossy JSON round-trips with typed app-server/core
permission conversions so requested and granted permission profiles,
including filesystem paths and scope, are preserved end to end.
## Description
Previously the `action` field on `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment`, which
describes what Guardian is reviewing, was typed as an arbitrary JSON
blob. This PR cleans it up and defines a sum type representing all the
various actions that Guardian can review.
This is a breaking change (on purpose), which is fine because:
- the Codex app / VSCE does not actually use `action` at the moment
- the TUI code that consumes `action` is updated in this PR as well
- rollout files that serialized old `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment` will
just silently drop these guardian events
- the contract is defined as unstable, so other clients have a fair
warning :)
This will make things much easier for followup Guardian work.
## Why
The old guardian review payloads worked, but they pushed too much shape
knowledge into downstream consumers. The TUI had custom JSON parsing
logic for commands, patches, network requests, and MCP calls, and the
app-server protocol was effectively just passing through an opaque blob.
Typing this at the protocol boundary makes the contract clearer.
Fix stale weekly limit in `/status` (#16194): /status reused the
session’s cached rate-limit snapshot, so the weekly remaining limit
could stay frozen within an active session.
With this change, we now dynamically update the rate limits after status
is displayed.
I needed to delete a few low-value test cases from the chatWidget tests
because the test.rs file is really large, and the new tests in this PR
pushed us over the 512K mandated limit. I'm working on a separate PR to
refactor that test file.
Problem: `chatwidget/tests.rs` had grown into a single oversized test
blob that was hard to maintain and exceeded the repo's blob size limit.
Solution: split the chatwidget tests into topical modules with a thin
root `tests.rs`, shared helper utilities, preserved snapshot naming, and
hermetic test config so the refactor stays stable and passes the
`codex-tui` test suite.
The TUI’s `/feedback` flow was still uploading directly through the
local feedback crate, which bypassed app-server behavior such as
auth-derived feedback tags like chatgpt_user_id and made TUI feedback
handling diverge from other clients. It also meant that remove TUI
sessions failed to upload the correct feedback logs and session details.
Testing: Manually tested `/feedback` flow and confirmed that it didn't
regress.
## Summary
A Windows-only snapshot assertion in the app-server MCP startup warning
test compared the raw rendered path, so CI saw `C:\tmp\project` instead
of the normalized `/tmp/project` snapshot fixture.
## Fix
Route that snapshot assertion through the existing
`normalize_snapshot_paths(...)` helper so the test remains
platform-stable.
This addresses #16038
The default `tui_app_server` path stopped surfacing MCP startup failures
during cold start, even though the legacy TUI still showed warnings like
`MCP startup incomplete (...)`. The app-server bridge emitted per-server
startup status notifications, but `tui_app_server` ignored them, so
failed MCP handshakes could look like a clean startup.
This change teaches `tui_app_server` to consume MCP startup status
notifications, preserve the immediate per-server failure warning, and
synthesize the same aggregate startup warning the legacy TUI shows once
startup settles.
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15922. That
previous PR deleted the old `tui` directory and left the new
`tui_app_server` directory in place. This PR renames `tui_app_server` to
`tui` and fixes up all references.
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
## Why
This is effectively a follow-up to
[#15812](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15812). That change
removed the special skill-script exec path, but `skill_metadata` was
still being threaded through command-approval payloads even though the
approval flow no longer uses it to render prompts or resolve decisions.
Keeping it around added extra protocol, schema, and client surface area
without changing behavior.
Removing it keeps the command-approval contract smaller and avoids
carrying a dead field through app-server, TUI, and MCP boundaries.
## What changed
- removed `ExecApprovalRequestSkillMetadata` and the corresponding
`skillMetadata` field from core approval events and the v2 app-server
protocol
- removed the generated JSON and TypeScript schema output for that field
- updated app-server, MCP server, TUI, and TUI app-server approval
plumbing to stop forwarding the field
- cleaned up tests that previously constructed or asserted
`skillMetadata`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-test-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp-server`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Why
Skill metadata accepted a `permissions` block and stored the result on
`SkillMetadata`, but that data was never consumed by runtime behavior.
Leaving the dead parsing path in place makes it look like skills can
widen or otherwise influence execution permissions when, in practice,
declared skill permissions are ignored.
This change removes that misleading surface area so the skill metadata
model matches what the system actually uses.
## What changed
- removed `permission_profile` and `managed_network_override` from
`core-skills::SkillMetadata`
- stopped parsing `permissions` from skill metadata in
`core-skills/src/loader.rs`
- deleted the loader tests that only exercised the removed permissions
parsing path
- cleaned up dependent `SkillMetadata` constructors in tests and TUI
code that were only carrying `None` for those fields
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core-skills`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
submission_prefers_selected_duplicate_skill_path`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
CHAINED PR - note that base is eternal/hooks-pretooluse-bash, not main
-- so the following PR should be first
Matching post-tool hook to the pre-tool functionality here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15211
So, PreToolUse calls for plain shell calls, allows blocking. This
PostToolUse call runs after the command executed
example run:
```
› as a test, run in parallel the following commands:
- echo 'one'
- echo '[block-pre-tool-use]'
- echo '[block-post-tool-use]'
⚠ MCP startup incomplete (failed: notion, linear)
• Cruising through those three commands in parallel now, and I’ll share the exact outputs right after
they land.

• Ran them in parallel. Little wave report:
- echo 'one' completed and returned one.
- echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' was blocked before execution by the PreToolUse hook.
- echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ran, but its result was blocked afterward by the PostToolUse hook.
The hook messages were:
- PreToolUse demo blocked the command. Remove [block-pre-tool-use] to continue.
- PostToolUse demo blocked the result after execution. Remove [block-post-tool-use] to continue.
› for the blocked messages (correctly blocked in this test) did the tool output land back into
context?
• Yeah, from this run:
- PreToolUse block: the command itself did not execute, so no command output landed in context. Only
the block message did.
- PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context.
Only the post-tool block message did.
So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not.
Nice clean guardrail, aloha.
```
Migrate `cwd` and related session/config state to `AbsolutePathBuf` so
downstream consumers consistently see absolute working directories.
Add test-only `.abs()` helpers for `Path`, `PathBuf`, and `TempDir`, and
update branch-local tests to use them instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf::try_from(...)`.
For the remaining TUI/app-server snapshot coverage that renders absolute
cwd values, keep the snapshots unchanged and skip the Windows-only cases
where the platform-specific absolute path layout differs.

- Change `Can be installed` to `Available`
- Align right-column marketplace + selected-row hint text across states.
- Changes applied to both `tui` and `tui_app_server`.

- Remove numeric prefixes for disabled rows in shared list rendering.
These numbers are shortcuts, Ex: Pressing "2" selects option `#2`.
Disabled items can not be selected, so keeping numbers on these items is
misleading.
- Apply the same behavior in both tui and tui_app_server.
- Update affected snapshots for apps/plugins loading and plugin detail
rows.
_**This is a global change.**_

Updates plugin ordering so installed plugins are listed first, with
alphabetical sorting applied within the installed and uninstalled
groups. The behavior is now consistent across both `tui` and
`tui_app_server`, and related tests/snapshots were updated.
Show all plugin marketplaces in the /plugins popup by removing the
`openai-curated` marketplace filter, and update plugin popup
copy/tests/snapshots to match the new behavior in both TUI codepaths.
- add `PreToolUse` hook for bash-like tool execution only at first
- block shell execution before dispatch with deny-only hook behavior
- introduces common.rs matcher framework for matching when hooks are run
example run:
```

• Ran echo "first parallel echo"
└ first parallel echo
• Ran echo "third parallel echo"
└ third parallel echo
• Three little waves went out in parallel.
1. printed first parallel echo
2. was blocked before execution because it contained the exact test string [block-pre-tool-use]
3. printed third parallel echo
There was also an unrelated macOS defaults warning around the successful commands, but the echoes
themselves worked fine. If you want, I can rerun the second one with a slightly modified string so
it passes cleanly.

### Preliminary /plugins TUI menu
- Adds a preliminary /plugins menu flow in both tui and tui_app_server.
- Fetches plugin list data asynchronously and shows loading/error/cached
states.
- Limits this first pass to the curated ChatGPT marketplace.
- Shows available plugins with installed/status metadata.
- Supports in-menu search over plugin display name, plugin id, plugin
name, and marketplace label.
- Opens a plugin detail view on selection, including summaries for
Skills, Apps, and MCP Servers, with back navigation.
### Testing
- Launch codex-cli with plugins enabled (`--enable plugins`).
- Run /plugins and verify:
- loading state appears first
- plugin list is shown
- search filters results
- selecting a plugin opens detail view, with a list of
skills/connectors/MCP servers for the plugin
- back action returns to the list.
- Verify disabled behavior by running /plugins without plugins enabled
(shows “Plugins are disabled” message).
- Launch with `--enable tui_app_server` (and plugins enabled) and repeat
the same /plugins flow; behavior should match.
## Why
The argument-comment lint now has a packaged DotSlash artifact from
[#15198](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15198), so the normal repo
lint path should use that released payload instead of rebuilding the
lint from source every time.
That keeps `just clippy` and CI aligned with the shipped artifact while
preserving a separate source-build path for people actively hacking on
the lint crate.
The current alpha package also exposed two integration wrinkles that the
repo-side prebuilt wrapper needs to smooth over:
- the bundled Dylint library filename includes the host triple, for
example `@nightly-2025-09-18-aarch64-apple-darwin`, and Dylint derives
`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` from that filename
- on Windows, Dylint's driver path also expects `RUSTUP_HOME` to be
present in the environment
Without those adjustments, the prebuilt CI jobs fail during `cargo
metadata` or driver setup. This change makes the checked-in prebuilt
wrapper normalize the packaged library name to the plain
`nightly-2025-09-18` channel before invoking `cargo-dylint`, and it
teaches both the wrapper and the packaged runner source to infer
`RUSTUP_HOME` from `rustup show home` when the environment does not
already provide it.
After the prebuilt Windows lint job started running successfully, it
also surfaced a handful of existing anonymous literal callsites in
`windows-sandbox-rs`. This PR now annotates those callsites so the new
cross-platform lint job is green on the current tree.
## What Changed
- checked in the current
`tools/argument-comment-lint/argument-comment-lint` DotSlash manifest
- kept `tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` as the source-build wrapper
for lint development
- added `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` as the
normal enforcement path, using the checked-in DotSlash package and
bundled `cargo-dylint`
- updated `just clippy` and `just argument-comment-lint` to use the
prebuilt wrapper
- split `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` so source-package checks live in
a dedicated `argument_comment_lint_package` job, while the released lint
runs in an `argument_comment_lint_prebuilt` matrix on Linux, macOS, and
Windows
- kept the pinned `nightly-2025-09-18` toolchain install in the prebuilt
CI matrix, since the prebuilt package still relies on rustup-provided
toolchain components
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` to
normalize host-qualified nightly library filenames, keep the `rustup`
shim directory ahead of direct toolchain `cargo` binaries, and export
`RUSTUP_HOME` when needed for Windows Dylint driver setup
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/src/bin/argument-comment-lint.rs`
so future published DotSlash artifacts apply the same nightly-filename
normalization and `RUSTUP_HOME` inference internally
- fixed the remaining Windows lint violations in
`codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` by adding the required `/*param*/`
comments at the reported callsites
- documented the checked-in DotSlash file, wrapper split, archive
layout, nightly prerequisite, and Windows `RUSTUP_HOME` requirement in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
