## Summary
- Teach app-server `thread/list` to accept either a single `cwd` or an
array of cwd filters, returning threads whose recorded session cwd
matches any requested path
- Add `useStateDbOnly` as an explicit opt-in fast path for callers that
want to answer `thread/list` from SQLite without scanning JSONL rollout
files
- Preserve backwards compatibility: by default, `thread/list` still
scans JSONL rollouts and repairs SQLite state
- Wire the new cwd array and SQLite-only options through app-server,
local/remote thread-store, rollout listing, generated TypeScript/schema
fixtures, proto output, and docs
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-rollout`
- `cargo test -p codex-thread-store`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_list`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-rollout -p
codex-thread-store -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
Migrate the conversation summary App Server methods to ThreadStore
Because this app server api allows explicitly fetching the thread by
rollout path, intercept that case in the app server code and (a) route
directly to underlying local thread store methods if we're using a local
thread store, or (b) throw an unsupported error if we're using a remote
thread store. This keeps the thread store API clean and all filesystem
operations inside of the local thread store, which pushing the
"fundamental incompatibility" check as early as possible.
- Migrates unloaded `thread/name/set` and `thread/memoryModeSet`
app-server writes behind the generic
`ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata` API rather than adding one-off
store methods for setting thread name or memory mode.
- Implements the local ThreadStore metadata patch path for thread name
and memory mode, including rollout append, legacy name index updates,
SessionMeta validation/update, SQLite reconciliation, and re-reading the
stored thread.
- Adds focused local thread-store unit coverage plus app-server
integration coverage for the migrated unloaded write paths.
To improve performance of UI loads from the app, add two main
improvements:
1. The `thread/list` api now gets a `sortDirection` request field and a
`backwardsCursor` to the response, which lets you paginate forwards and
backwards from a window. This lets you fetch the first few items to
display immediately while you paginate to fill in history, then can
paginate "backwards" on future loads to catch up with any changes since
the last UI load without a full reload of the entire data set.
2. Added a new `thread/turns/list` api which also has sortDirection and
backwardsCursor for the same behavior as `thread/list`, allowing you the
same small-fetch for immediate display followed by background fill-in
and resync catchup.
Summary
- replace the thread/read persisted-load helper with
ThreadStore::read_thread
- move SQLite/rollout summary, name, fork metadata, and history loading
for persisted reads into LocalThreadStore
- leave getConversationSummary unchanged for a later PR
Context
- Replaces closed stacked PR #18232 after PR #18231 merged and its base
branch was deleted.
I believe this use of `expect()` was introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17826, but was not flagged by CI.
Though I did see it in the diagnostics panel in VS Code, so it's worth
cleaning up.
I guess our current CI does include `examples/` when running Clippy?
- Add a "remote" thread store implementation
- Implement the remote thread store as a thin wrapper that makes grpc
calls to a configurable service endpoint
- Implement only the thread/list method to start
- Encode the grpc method/param shape as protobufs in the remote
implementation
A wart: the proto generation script is an "example" binary target. This
is an example target only because Cargo lets examples use
dev-dependencies, which keeps tonic-prost-build out of the normal
codex-thread-store dependency surface. A regular bin would either need
to add proto generation deps as normal runtime deps, or use a
feature-gated optional dep, which this repo’s manifest checks explicitly
reject.
# Summary
- implement local ThreadStore archive/unarchive operations
- implement local ThreadStore read_thread operation
- break up the various ThreadStore local method implementations into
separate files
- migrate app-server archive/unarchive and core archive fixture to use
ThreadStore (but not all read operations yet!)
- use the ThreadStore's read operation as a proxy check for thread
persistence/existence in the app server code
- move all other filesystem operations related to archive (path
validation etc) into the local thread store.
# Tests
- add dedicated local store archive/unarchive tests
Builds on top of #17659
Move the filesystem + sqlite thread listing-related operations inside of
a local ThreadStore implementation and call ThreadStore from the places
that used to perform these filesystem/sqlite operations.
This is the first of a series of PRs that will implement the rest of the
local ThreadStore.
Testing:
- added unit tests for the thread store implementation
- adjusted some unit tests in the realtime + personality packages whose
callsites changed. Specifically I'm trying to hide ThreadMetadata inside
of the local implementation and make ThreadMetadata a sqlite
implementation detail concern rather than a public interface, preferring
the more generate StoredThread interface instead
- added a corner case test for the personality migration package that
wasn't covered by the existing test suite
- adjust the behavior of searched thread listing to run the existing
local rollout repair/backfill pass _before_ querying SQLite results, so
callers using ThreadStore::list_threads do not miss matches after a
partial metadata warm-up
Introduce a ThreadStore interface for mediating access to the filesystem
(rollout jsonl files + sqlite db) based thread storage.
In later PRs we'll move the existing fs code behind a "local"
implementation of this ThreadStore interface.
This PR should be a no-op behaviorally, it only introduces the
interface.
