## Summary
This extends external agent detection/import beyond config artifacts so
Codex can detect recent sessions files from the external agent home and
import them into Codex rollout history.
## What changed
- Added a focused `external_agent_sessions` module for:
- session discovery
- source-record parsing
- rollout construction
- import ledger tracking
- Wired session detection/import into the app-server external agent
config API.
- Added compaction handling so large imported sessions can be resumed
safely before the first follow-up turn.
## Testing
Added coverage for:
- recent-session detection
- custom-title handling
- recency filtering
- dedupe and re-detect-after-source-change behavior
- visible imported turn construction
- backward-compatible import payload deserialization
- end-to-end RPC import flow
- rejection of undetected session paths
- repeat-import behavior
- large-session compaction before first follow-up
Ran:
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config_import_ --test
all`
## Why
App-server request handling had a lot of repeated JSON-RPC error
construction and one-off `send_error`/`return` branches. This made small
handlers noisy and pushed error response details into leaf code that
otherwise only needed to validate input or call the underlying API.
## What Changed
- Added shared JSON-RPC error constructors in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/error_code.rs`.
- Lifted straightforward request result emission into
`codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` so response/error
dispatch happens at the request boundary.
- Reused the result helpers across command exec, config, filesystem,
device-key, external-agent config, fs-watch, and outgoing-message paths.
- Removed leaf wrapper handlers where the method body was only
forwarding to a response helper.
- Returned request validation errors upward in the simple cases instead
of sending an error locally and immediately returning.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib command_exec::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib outgoing_message::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib in_process::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::fs`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::config_rpc`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::external_agent_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all v2::initialize`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `git diff --check`
Note: full `cargo test -p codex-app-server` was attempted and stopped in
`message_processor::tracing_tests::turn_start_jsonrpc_span_parents_core_turn_spans`
with a stack overflow after unrelated tests had already passed.
## Summary
- Move external agent config migration logic and tests from `codex-core`
into `app-server/src/config`.
- Keep the migration service crate-private to app-server and update the
API adapter imports.
- Remove stale core re-exports and expose only the needed marketplace
source helper.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server config::external_agent_config`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `git diff --check`
… import
## Why
`externalAgentConfig/import` used to spawn plugin imports in the
background and return immediately. That meant local marketplace imports
could still be in flight when the caller refreshed plugin state, so
newly imported plugins would not show up right away.
This change makes local marketplace imports complete before the RPC
returns, while keeping remote marketplace imports asynchronous so we do
not block on remote fetches.
## What changed
- split plugin migration details into local and remote marketplace
imports based on the external config source
- import local marketplaces synchronously during
`externalAgentConfig/import`
- return pending remote plugin imports to the app-server so it can
finish them in the background
- clear the plugin and skills caches before responding to plugin
imports, and again after background remote imports complete, so the next
`plugin/list` reloads fresh state
- keep marketplace source parsing encapsulated behind
`is_local_marketplace_source(...)` instead of re-exporting the internal
enum
- add core and app-server coverage for the synchronous local import path
and the pending remote import path
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (currently fails an existing unrelated
test:
`config_loader::tests::cli_override_can_update_project_local_mcp_server_when_project_is_trusted`)
- `cargo test` (currently fails existing `codex-app-server` integration
tests in MCP/skills/thread-start areas, plus the unrelated `codex-core`
failure above)
Migration Behavior
* Config
* Migrates settings.json into config.toml
* Only adds fields when config.toml is missing, or when those fields are
missing from the existing file
* Supported mappings:
env -> shell_environment_policy
sandbox.enabled = true -> sandbox_mode = "workspace-write"
* Skills
* Copies home and repo .claude/skills into .agents/skills
* Existing skill directories are not overwritten
* SKILL.md content is rewritten from Claude-related terms to Codex
* AgentsMd
* Repo only
* Migrates CLAUDE.md into AGENTS.md
* Detect/import only proceed when AGENTS.md is missing or present but
empty
* Content is rewritten from Claude-related terms to Codex
