## Summary
This PR:
1. fixes a deserialization mismatch for macOS automation permissions in
approval payloads by making core parsing accept both supported wire
shapes for bundle IDs.
2. added `#[serde(default)]` to `MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` so
omitted fields deserialize to secure defaults.
## Why this change is needed
`MacOsAutomationPermission` uses `#[serde(try_from =
"MacOsAutomationPermissionDe")]`, so deserialization is controlled by
`MacOsAutomationPermissionDe`. After we aligned v2
`additionalPermissions.macos.automations` to the core shape, approval
payloads started including `{ "bundle_ids": [...] }` in some paths.
`MacOsAutomationPermissionDe` previously accepted only `"none" | "all"`
or a plain array, so object-shaped bundle IDs failed with `data did not
match any variant of untagged enum MacOsAutomationPermissionDe`. This
change restores compatibility by accepting both forms while preserving
existing normalization behavior (trim values and map empty bundle lists
to `None`).

## Note-- added plugin mentions via @, but that conflicts with file
mentions
depends and builds upon #13433.
- introduces explicit `@plugin` mentions. this injects the plugin's mcp
servers, app names, and skill name format into turn context as a dev
message.
- we do not yet have UI for these mentions, so we currently parse raw
text (as opposed to skills and apps which have UI chips, autocomplete,
etc.) this depends on a `plugins/list` app-server endpoint we can feed
the UI with, which is upcoming
- also annotate mcp and app tool descriptions with the plugin(s) they
come from. this gives the model a first class way of understanding what
tools come from which plugins, which will help implicit invocation.
### Tests
Added and updated tests, unit and integration. Also confirmed locally a
raw `@plugin` injects the dev message, and the model knows about its
apps, mcps, and skills.
This adds a first-class server request for MCP server elicitations:
`mcpServer/elicitation/request`.
Until now, MCP elicitation requests only showed up as a raw
`codex/event/elicitation_request` event from core. That made it hard for
v2 clients to handle elicitations using the same request/response flow
as other server-driven interactions (like shell and `apply_patch`
tools).
This also updates the underlying MCP elicitation request handling in
core to pass through the full MCP request (including URL and form data)
so we can expose it properly in app-server.
### Why not `item/mcpToolCall/elicitationRequest`?
This is because MCP elicitations are related to MCP servers first, and
only optionally to a specific MCP tool call.
In the MCP protocol, elicitation is a server-to-client capability: the
server sends `elicitation/create`, and the client replies with an
elicitation result. RMCP models it that way as well.
In practice an elicitation is often triggered by an MCP tool call, but
not always.
### What changed
- add `mcpServer/elicitation/request` to the v2 app-server API
- translate core `codex/event/elicitation_request` events into the new
v2 server request
- map client responses back into `Op::ResolveElicitation` so the MCP
server can continue
- update app-server docs and generated protocol schema
- add an end-to-end app-server test that covers the full round trip
through a real RMCP elicitation flow
- The new test exercises a realistic case where an MCP tool call
triggers an elicitation, the app-server emits
mcpServer/elicitation/request, the client accepts it, and the tool call
resumes and completes successfully.
### app-server API flow
- Client starts a thread with `thread/start`.
- Client starts a turn with `turn/start`.
- App-server sends `item/started` for the `mcpToolCall`.
- While that tool call is in progress, app-server sends
`mcpServer/elicitation/request`.
- Client responds to that request with `{ action: "accept" | "decline" |
"cancel" }`.
- App-server sends `serverRequest/resolved`.
- App-server sends `item/completed` for the mcpToolCall.
- App-server sends `turn/completed`.
- If the turn is interrupted while the elicitation is pending,
app-server still sends `serverRequest/resolved` before the turn
finishes.
Support marketplace.json that points to a local file, with
```
"source":
{
"source": "local",
"path": "./plugin-1"
},
```
Add a new plugin/install endpoint which add the plugin to the cache folder and enable it in config.toml.
### Overview
This PR:
- Updates `app-server-test-client` to load OTEL settings from
`$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` and initializes its own OTEL provider.
- Add real client root spans to app-server test client traces.
This updates `codex-app-server-test-client` so its Datadog traces
reflect the full client-driven flow instead of a set of server spans
stitched together under a synthetic parent.
Before this change, the test client generated a fake `traceparent` once
and reused it for every JSON-RPC request. That kept the requests in one
trace, but there was no real client span at the top, so Datadog ended up
showing the sequence in a slightly misleading way, where all RPCs were
anchored under `initialize`.
Now the test client:
- loads OTEL settings from the normal Codex config path, including
`$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` and existing --config overrides
- initializes tracing the same way other Codex binaries do when trace
export is enabled
- creates a real client root span for each scripted command
- creates per-request client spans for JSON-RPC methods like
`initialize`, `thread/start`, and `turn/start`
- injects W3C trace context from the current client span into
request.trace instead of reusing a fabricated carrier
This gives us a cleaner trace shape in Datadog:
- one trace URL for the whole scripted flow
- a visible client root span
- proper client/server parent-child relationships for each app-server
request
The electron app doesn't start up the app-server in a particular
workspace directory.
So sandbox setup happens in the app-installed directory instead of the
project workspace.
This allows the app do specify the workspace cwd so that the sandbox
setup actually sets up the ACLs instead of exiting fast and then having
the first shell command be slow.
## Summary
Changes the permission profile shape from a bare network boolean to a
nested object.
Before:
```yaml
permissions:
network: true
```
After:
```yaml
permissions:
network:
enabled: true
```
This also updates the shared Rust and app-server protocol types so
`PermissionProfile.network` is no longer `Option<bool>`, but
`Option<NetworkPermissions>` with `enabled: Option<bool>`.
## What Changed
- Updated `PermissionProfile` in `codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`:
- `pub network: Option<bool>` -> `pub network:
Option<NetworkPermissions>`
- Added `NetworkPermissions` with:
- `pub enabled: Option<bool>`
- Changed emptiness semantics so `network` is only considered empty when
`enabled` is `None`
- Updated skill metadata parsing to accept `permissions.network.enabled`
- Updated core permission consumers to read
`network.enabled.unwrap_or(false)` where a concrete boolean is needed
- Updated app-server v2 protocol types and regenerated schema/TypeScript
outputs
- Updated docs to mention `additionalPermissions.network.enabled`
## Why
Enterprises can already constrain approvals, sandboxing, and web search
through `requirements.toml` and MDM, but feature flags were still only
configurable as managed defaults. That meant an enterprise could suggest
feature values, but it could not actually pin them.
This change closes that gap and makes enterprise feature requirements
behave like the other constrained settings. The effective feature set
now stays consistent with enterprise requirements during config load,
when config writes are validated, and when runtime code mutates feature
flags later in the session.
It also tightens the runtime API for managed features. `ManagedFeatures`
now follows the same constraint-oriented shape as `Constrained<T>`
instead of exposing panic-prone mutation helpers, and production code
can no longer construct it through an unconstrained `From<Features>`
path.
The PR also hardens the `compact_resume_fork` integration coverage on
Windows. After the feature-management changes,
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` was
overflowing the libtest/Tokio thread stacks on Windows, so the test now
uses an explicit larger-stack harness as a pragmatic mitigation. That
may not be the ideal root-cause fix, and it merits a parallel
investigation into whether part of the async future chain should be
boxed to reduce stack pressure instead.
## What Changed
Enterprises can now pin feature values in `requirements.toml` with the
requirements-side `features` table:
```toml
[features]
personality = true
unified_exec = false
```
Only canonical feature keys are allowed in the requirements `features`
table; omitted keys remain unconstrained.
- Added a requirements-side pinned feature map to
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, threaded it through source-preserving
requirements merge and normalization in `codex-config`, and made the
TOML surface use `[features]` (while still accepting legacy
`[feature_requirements]` for compatibility).
- Exposed `featureRequirements` from `configRequirements/read`,
regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schema artifacts, and updated the
app-server README.
- Wrapped the effective feature set in `ManagedFeatures`, backed by
`ConstrainedWithSource<Features>`, and changed its API to mirror
`Constrained<T>`: `can_set(...)`, `set(...) -> ConstraintResult<()>`,
and result-returning `enable` / `disable` / `set_enabled` helpers.
- Removed the legacy-usage and bulk-map passthroughs from
`ManagedFeatures`; callers that need those behaviors now mutate a plain
`Features` value and reapply it through `set(...)`, so the constrained
wrapper remains the enforcement boundary.
- Removed the production loophole for constructing unconstrained
`ManagedFeatures`. Non-test code now creates it through the configured
feature-loading path, and `impl From<Features> for ManagedFeatures` is
restricted to `#[cfg(test)]`.
- Rejected legacy feature aliases in enterprise feature requirements,
and return a load error when a pinned combination cannot survive
dependency normalization.
- Validated config writes against enterprise feature requirements before
persisting changes, including explicit conflicting writes and
profile-specific feature states that normalize into invalid
combinations.
- Updated runtime and TUI feature-toggle paths to use the constrained
setter API and to persist or apply the effective post-constraint value
rather than the requested value.
- Updated the `core_test_support` Bazel target to include the bundled
core model-catalog fixtures in its runtime data, so helper code that
resolves `core/models.json` through runfiles works in remote Bazel test
environments.
- Renamed the core config test coverage to emphasize that effective
feature values are normalized at runtime, while conflicting persisted
config writes are rejected.
- Ran `compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` inside
an explicit 8 MiB test thread and Tokio runtime worker stack, following
the existing larger-stack integration-test pattern, to keep the Windows
`compact_resume_fork` test slice from aborting while a parallel
investigation continues into whether some of the underlying async
futures should be boxed.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core feature_requirements_ -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_requirements_toml_produces_expected_constraints -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core compact_resume_fork -- --nocapture`
- Re-ran the built `codex-core` `tests/all` binary with
`RUST_MIN_STACK=262144` for
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` to confirm
the explicit-stack harness fixes the deterministic low-stack repro.
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- This still fails locally in unrelated integration areas that expect
the `codex` / `test_stdio_server` binaries or hit existing `search_tool`
wiremock mismatches.
## Docs
`developers.openai.com/codex` should document the requirements-side
`[features]` table for enterprise and MDM-managed configuration,
including that it only accepts canonical feature keys and that
conflicting config writes are rejected.
## Summary
`PermissionProfile.network` could not be preserved when additional or
compiled permissions resolved to
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly`, because `ReadOnly` had no network_access
field. This change makes read-only + network
enabled representable directly and threads that through the protocol,
app-server v2 mirror, and permission-
merging logic.
## What changed
- Added `network_access: bool` to `SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` in the core
protocol and app-server v2 protocol.
- Kept backward compatibility by defaulting the new field to false, so
legacy read-only payloads still
deserialize unchanged.
- Updated `has_full_network_access()` and sandbox summaries to respect
read-only network access.
- Preserved PermissionProfile.network when:
- compiling skill permission profiles into sandbox policies
- normalizing additional permissions
- merging additional permissions into existing sandbox policies
- Updated the approval overlay to show network in the rendered
permission rule when requested.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures for the new v2 wire shape.
This adds a first-class app-server v2 `skills/changed` notification for
the existing skills live-reload signal.
Before this change, clients only had the legacy raw
`codex/event/skills_update_available` event. With this PR, v2 clients
can listen for a typed JSON-RPC notification instead of depending on the
legacy `codex/event/*` stream, which we want to remove soon.
## Summary
Add original-resolution support for `view_image` behind the
under-development `view_image_original_resolution` feature flag.
When the flag is enabled and the target model is `gpt-5.3-codex` or
newer, `view_image` now preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes and sends
`detail: "original"` to the Responses API instead of using the legacy
resize/compress path.
## What changed
- Added `view_image_original_resolution` as an under-development feature
flag.
- Added `ImageDetail` to the protocol models and support for serializing
`detail: "original"` on tool-returned images.
- Added `PromptImageMode::Original` to `codex-utils-image`.
- Preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes.
- Keeps legacy behavior for the resize path.
- Updated `view_image` to:
- use the shared `local_image_content_items_with_label_number(...)`
helper in both code paths
- select original-resolution mode only when:
- the feature flag is enabled, and
- the model slug parses as `gpt-5.3-codex` or newer
- Kept local user image attachments on the existing resize path; this
change is specific to `view_image`.
- Updated history/image accounting so only `detail: "original"` images
use the docs-based GPT-5 image cost calculation; legacy images still use
the old fixed estimate.
- Added JS REPL guidance, gated on the same feature flag, to prefer JPEG
at 85% quality unless lossless is required, while still allowing other
formats when explicitly requested.
- Updated tests and helper code that construct
`FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage` to carry the new `detail`
field.
## Behavior
### Feature off
- `view_image` keeps the existing resize/re-encode behavior.
- History estimation keeps the existing fixed-cost heuristic.
### Feature on + `gpt-5.3-codex+`
- `view_image` sends original-resolution images with `detail:
"original"`.
- PNG/JPEG/WebP source bytes are preserved when possible.
- History estimation uses the GPT-5 docs-based image-cost calculation
for those `detail: "original"` images.

## Summary
- add the v2 `thread/metadata/update` API, including
protocol/schema/TypeScript exports and app-server docs
- patch stored thread `gitInfo` in sqlite without resuming the thread,
with validation plus support for explicit `null` clears
- repair missing sqlite thread rows from rollout data before patching,
and make those repairs safe by inserting only when absent and updating
only git columns so newer metadata is not clobbered
- keep sqlite authoritative for mutable thread git metadata by
preserving existing sqlite git fields during reconcile/backfill and only
using rollout `SessionMeta` git fields to fill gaps
- add regression coverage for the endpoint, repair paths, concurrent
sqlite writes, clearing git fields, and rollout/backfill reconciliation
- fix the login server shutdown race so cancelling before the waiter
starts still terminates `block_until_done()` correctly
