- Introduce websearch end to complement the begin
- Moves the logic of adding the sebsearch tool to
create_tools_json_for_responses_api
- Making it the client responsibility to toggle the tool on or off
- Other misc in #2371 post commit feedback

Adds custom `/prompts` to `~/.codex/prompts/<command>.md`.

Details:
1. Adds `Op::ListCustomPrompts` to core.
2. Returns `ListCustomPromptsResponse` with list of `CustomPrompt`
(name, content).
3. TUI calls the operation on load, and populates the custom prompts
(excluding prompts that collide with builtins).
4. Selecting the custom prompt automatically sends the prompt to the
agent.
## What
Make slash commands (/init, /status, /approvals, /model) bold and white
in the welcome message for better visibility.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/13f90e96-b84a-4659-aab4-576d84a31af7"
/>
## Why
The current welcome message displays all text in a dimmed style, making
the slash commands less prominent. Users need to quickly identify
available commands when starting Codex.
## How
Modified `tui/src/history_cell.rs` in the `new_session_info` function
to:
- Split each command line into separate spans
- Apply bold white styling to command text (`/init`, `/status`, etc.)
- Keep descriptions dimmed for visual contrast
- Maintain existing layout and spacing
## Test plan
- [ ] Run the TUI and verify commands appear bold in the welcome message
- [ ] Ensure descriptions remain dimmed for readability
- [ ] Confirm all existing tests pass
This PR fixes two edge cases in managing burst paste (mainly on power
shell).
Bugs:
- Needs an event key after paste to render the pasted items
> ChatComposer::flush_paste_burst_if_due() flushes on timeout. Called:
> - Pre-render in App on TuiEvent::Draw.
> - Via a delayed frame
>
BottomPane::request_redraw_in(ChatComposer::recommended_paste_flush_delay()).
- Parses two key events separately before starting parsing burst paste
> When threshold is crossed, pull preceding burst chars out of the
textarea and prepend to paste_burst_buffer, then keep buffering.
- Integrates with #2567 to bring image pasting to windows.
`test_shell_command_approval_triggers_elicitation()` is one of a number
of integration tests that we have observed to be flaky on GitHub CI, so
this PR tries to reduce the flakiness _and_ to provide us with more
information when it flakes. Specifically:
- Changed the command that we use to trigger the elicitation from `git
init` to `python3 -c 'import pathlib; pathlib.Path(r"{}").touch()'`
because running `git` seems more likely to invite variance.
- Increased the timeout to wait for the task response from 10s to 20s.
- Added more logging.
- added `uninlined_format_args` to `[workspace.lints.clippy]` in the
`Cargo.toml` for the workspace
- ran `cargo clippy --tests --fix`
- ran `just fmt`
This was supposed to be fixed by #2569, but I think the actual fix got
lost in the refactoring.
Intended behavior: pressing ^Z moves the cursor below the viewport
before suspending.
This was mostly written by codex under heavy guidance via test cases
drawn from logged session data and fuzzing. It also uncovered some bugs
in tui_markdown, which will in some cases split a list marker from the
list item content. We're not addressing those bugs for now.
This PR cleans up the monolithic README by breaking it into a set
navigable pages under docs/ (install, getting started, configuration,
authentication, sandboxing and approvals, platform details, FAQ, ZDR,
contributing, license). The top‑level README is now more concise and
intuitive, (with corrected screenshots).
It also consolidates overlapping content from codex-rs/README.md into
the top‑level docs and updates links accordingly. The codex-rs README
remains in place for now as a pointer and for continuity.
Finally, added an extensive config reference table at the bottom of
docs/config.md.

This is a stopgap solution, but today, we are seeing the client get
flooded with events. Since we already truncate the output we send to the
model, it feels reasonable to limit how many deltas we send to the
client.
## Summary
Adds a GetConfig request to the MCP Protocol, so MCP clients can
evaluate the resolved config.toml settings which the harness is using.
## Testing
- [x] Added an end to end test of the endpoint
Prevented panics when deleting placeholders near multibyte characters by
clamping the cursor to a valid boundary and using get-based slicing
Added a regression test to ensure backspacing after multibyte text
leaves placeholders intact without crashing

This fixes a bug where if you ran /diff while at turn was running,
transcript lines would be added to the end of the diff view. Also,
refactor to make this kind of issue less likely in future.
This pr addresses the fix for
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/2713
### Changes:
- Added key handler for `Alt+Ctrl+H` → `delete_backward_word()`
- Added test coverage in `delete_backward_word_alt_keys()` that verifies
both:
- Standard `Alt+Backspace` binding continues to work
- New `Alt+Ctrl+H` binding works correctly for backward word deletion
### Testing:
The test ensures both key combinations produce identical behavior:
- Delete the previous word from "hello world" → "hello "
- Cursor positioned correctly after deletion
### Backward Compatibility:
This change is backward compatible - existing `Alt+Backspace`
functionality remains unchanged while adding support for the
terminal-specific `Alt+Ctrl+H` variant
