marketplaces into plugin/list and routes plugin/read through the remote
APIs when needed, while keeping pure local marketplaces working as
before.

## Summary
- tighten the external migration prompt snapshot around stable synthetic
fixture text
- add focused display_description tests for relative path rewriting and
plugin summaries
- split the path-format assertions into smaller, easier-to-read unit
tests
## Why
The previous prompt snapshot was coupled to path text that came from
detected migration items, which made it noisier and more brittle than
necessary. This change keeps the snapshot focused on stable UI structure
and moves dynamic path formatting checks into targeted unit tests.
## Validation
- cargo test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration::tests::
- cargo test -p codex-tui
external_agent_config_migration::tests::display_description_
- just fmt
## Notes
Per the repo instructions, I did not rerun tests after the final `just
fmt` pass.
This change aligns the `/statusline` and `/title` UIs around the same
normalized item model so both surfaces use consistent ids, labels, and
preview semantics. It keeps the shared preview work from #18435 ,
tightens the remaining mismatches by standardizing item naming, expands
title/status item coverage where appropriate, and makes `/title` preview
use the same title-specific formatting path as the real rendered
terminal title.
- Normalizes persisted item ids and keeps legacy aliases for
compatibility
- Aligns `status-line` and `terminal-title` items with the shared
preview model
- Routes `terminal-title` preview through title-specific formatting and
truncation
- Updates the affected status/title setup snapshots
Added to `/statusline`:
- status
- task-progress
Normalized in `/statusline`:
- model-name -> model

## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
## Summary
Adds main-chat shortcuts for changing reasoning effort one step at a
time:
- `Alt+,` lowers reasoning (has the `<` arrow on the key)
- `Alt+.` raises reasoning (similarly, has the `>` arrow)
The shortcut updates the active session only. It does not persist the
selected reasoning level as the default for future sessions. In Plan
mode, it applies temporarily to Plan mode without opening the
global-vs-Plan scope prompt.
## Details
The shortcut uses the active model preset to decide which reasoning
levels are valid. If the current session has no explicit reasoning
effort, it starts from the model default. Each keypress moves to the
next supported level in the requested direction.
The shortcut only runs from the main chat surface. If a popup or modal
is open, input remains owned by that UI.
In Plan mode, the shortcut updates the in-memory Plan reasoning override
directly. The model/reasoning picker still keeps the existing scope
prompt for explicit picker changes.
## Notes
Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus were considered, but terminals do not deliver
those combinations consistently, so this PR uses Alt shortcuts instead.
If the current effort is unsupported by the selected model, the shortcut
skips to the nearest supported level in the requested direction. If
there is no valid step, it shows the existing boundary message.

## Why
Permission approval responses must not be able to grant more access than
the tool requested. Moving this flow to `PermissionProfile` means the
comparison must be profile-shaped instead of `SandboxPolicy`-shaped, and
cwd-relative special paths such as `:cwd` and `:project_roots` must stay
anchored to the turn that produced the request.
## What changed
This implements semantic `PermissionProfile` intersection in
`codex-sandboxing` for file-system and network permissions. The
intersection accepts narrower path grants, rejects broader grants,
preserves deny-read carve-outs and glob scan depth, and materializes
cwd-dependent special-path grants to absolute paths before they can be
recorded for reuse.
The request-permissions response paths now use that intersection
consistently. App-server captures the request turn cwd before waiting
for the client response, includes that cwd in the v2 approval params,
and core stores the requested profile plus cwd for direct TUI/client
responses and Guardian decisions before recording turn- or
session-scoped grants. The TUI app-server bridge now preserves the
app-server request cwd when converting permission approval params into
core events.

## Summary
The TUI app refactor in #18753 moved the old `app.rs` tests into a
single `app/tests.rs` file. That kept the split mechanically simple, but
it left several focused unit tests far from the modules they exercise.
This PR is a follow-up that moves tests next to the code they cover.
It also adds `tui/src/app/test_support.rs` for shared fixture
construction.
This is just a mechanical refactoring (no functional changes) and does
not affect any production code.
Fixes#17954.
## Why
When a manual shell command like `!sleep 10` is running, submitting
plain text such as `hi` currently sends that text as a steer for the
active shell turn. User shell turns are not steerable like model turns,
so the TUI can remain stuck in `Working` after the shell command
finishes.
## What Changed
- Detect when the only active work is one or more
`ExecCommandSource::UserShell` commands.
- Queue plain submitted input in that state so it drains after the shell
command and shell turn complete.
- Preserve `!cmd` submissions during running work so explicit shell
commands keep their existing behavior.
- Add regression coverage for the `!sleep 10` plus `hi` flow in
`chatwidget::tests::exec_flow::user_message_during_user_shell_command_is_queued_not_steered`.
## Verification
- Manually confirmed hang before the fix and no hang after the fix
## Summary
- wrap OSC 9 notifications in tmux's DCS passthrough so terminal
notifications make it through tmux
- use codex-terminal-detection for OSC 9 auto-selection so tmux sessions
inherit the underlying client terminal support
- add focused notification backend tests for plain OSC 9 and
tmux-wrapped output
## Stack
- base PR: #18479
- review order: #18479, then this PR
## Why
Tmux does not forward OSC 9 notifications directly; the sequence has to
be wrapped in tmux's DCS passthrough envelope. Codex also had local
notification heuristics that could miss supported terminals when running
under tmux, even though codex-terminal-detection already knows how to
attribute tmux sessions to the client terminal.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` *(currently blocked by an unrelated existing
compile error in `app-server/src/message_processor.rs:754` referencing
`connection_id` out of scope; not caused by this change)*

Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13638
## Why
VS Code's integrated terminal can run a Linux shell through WSL without
exposing `TERM_PROGRAM` to the Linux process, and with crossterm
keyboard enhancement flags enabled that environment can turn dead-key
composition into malformed key events instead of composed Unicode input.
Codex already handles composed Unicode correctly, so the fix is to avoid
enabling the terminal mode that breaks this path for the affected
terminal combination.
## What Changed
- Automatically skip crossterm keyboard enhancement flags when Codex
detects WSL plus VS Code, including a Windows-side `TERM_PROGRAM` probe
through WSL interop.
- Add `CODEX_TUI_DISABLE_KEYBOARD_ENHANCEMENT` so users can
force-disable or force-enable the keyboard enhancement policy for
diagnosis.
## Verification
- Added unit coverage for env parsing, VS Code detection, and the WSL/VS
Code auto-disable policy.
- `cargo check -p codex-tui` passed.
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.py -p codex-tui -- --tests` passed.
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` was attempted locally, but the checkout
failed during linking before tests executed because V8 symbols from
`codex-code-mode` were unresolved for `arm64`.
## What
- Explicitly show our "bash mode" by changing the color and adding a
callout similar to how we do for `Plan mode (shift + tab to cycle)`
- Also replace our `›` composer prefix with a bang `!`
## Why
- It was unclear that we had a Bash mode
- This feels more responsive
- It looks cool!

Deferred dynamic tools need to round-trip a namespace so a tool returned
by `tool_search` can be called through the same registry key that core
uses for dispatch.
This change adds namespace support for dynamic tool specs/calls,
persists it through app-server thread state, and routes dynamic tool
calls by full `ToolName` while still sending the app the leaf tool name.
Deferred dynamic tools must provide a namespace; non-deferred dynamic
tools may remain top-level.
It also introduces `LoadableToolSpec` as the shared
function-or-namespace Responses shape used by both `tool_search` output
and dynamic tool registration, so dynamic tools use the same wrapping
logic in both paths.

## Why
Customers need finer-grained control over allowed sandbox modes based on
the host Codex is running on. For example, they may want stricter
sandbox limits on devboxes while keeping a different default elsewhere.
Our current cloud requirements can target user/account groups, but they
cannot vary sandbox requirements by host. That makes remote development
environments awkward because the same top-level `allowed_sandbox_modes`
has to apply everywhere.
## What
Adds a new `remote_sandbox_config` section to `requirements.toml`:
```toml
allowed_sandbox_modes = ["read-only"]
[[remote_sandbox_config]]
hostname_patterns = ["*.org"]
allowed_sandbox_modes = ["read-only", "workspace-write"]
[[remote_sandbox_config]]
hostname_patterns = ["*.sh", "runner-*.ci"]
allowed_sandbox_modes = ["read-only", "danger-full-access"]
```
During requirements resolution, Codex resolves the local host name once,
preferring the machine FQDN when available and falling back to the
cleaned kernel hostname. This host classification is best effort rather
than authenticated device proof.
Each requirements source applies its first matching
`remote_sandbox_config` entry before it is merged with other sources.
The shared merge helper keeps that `apply_remote_sandbox_config` step
paired with requirements merging so new requirements sources do not have
to remember the extra call.
That preserves source precedence: a lower-precedence requirements file
with a matching `remote_sandbox_config` cannot override a
higher-precedence source that already set `allowed_sandbox_modes`.
This also wires the hostname-aware resolution through app-server,
CLI/TUI config loading, config API reads, and config layer metadata so
they all evaluate remote sandbox requirements consistently.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config remote_sandbox_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-config host_name`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_config_layers_applies_matching_remote_sandbox_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
system_remote_sandbox_config_keeps_cloud_sandbox_modes`
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` unit tests passed; `tests/all.rs`
integration matrix was intentionally stopped after the relevant focused
tests passed
- `just fix -p codex-config`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
## Summary
When auto-review is enabled, it should handle request_permissions tool.
We'll need to clean up the UX but I'm planning to do that in a separate
pass

This updates TUI skill mentions to show a fallback label when a skill
does not define a display name, so unnamed skills remain understandable
in the picker without changing behavior for skills that already have
one.

## Why
#18274 made `PermissionProfile` the canonical file-system permissions
shape, but the round-trip from `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` to
`PermissionProfile` still dropped one piece of policy metadata:
`glob_scan_max_depth`.
That field is security-relevant for deny-read globs such as `**/*.env`.
On Linux, bubblewrap sandbox construction uses it to bound unreadable
glob expansion. If a profile copied from active runtime permissions
loses this value and is submitted back as an override, the resulting
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` can behave differently even though the visible
permission entries look equivalent.
## What changed
- Add `glob_scan_max_depth` to protocol `FileSystemPermissions` and
preserve it when converting to/from `FileSystemSandboxPolicy`.
- Keep legacy `read`/`write` JSON for simple path-only permissions, but
force canonical JSON when glob scan depth is present so the metadata is
not silently dropped.
- Carry `globScanMaxDepth` through app-server
`AdditionalFileSystemPermissions`, generated JSON/TypeScript schemas,
and app-server/TUI conversion call sites.
- Preserve the metadata through sandboxing permission normalization,
merging, and intersection.
- Carry the merged scan depth into the effective
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` used for command execution, so bounded
deny-read globs reach Linux bubblewrap materialization.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing glob_scan -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing policy_transforms -- --nocapture`
- `just fix -p codex-sandboxing`

This PR makes the `/statusline` and `/title` setup UIs share one
preview-value source instead of each surface using its own examples.
Both pickers now render consistent live values when available, and
stable placeholders when they are not. It also resolves live preview
values at the shared preview-item layer, so `/title` preview can use
real runtime values for title-specific cases like status text, task
progress, and project-name fallback behavior.
- Adds a shared preview data model for status surfaces
- Maps status-line items and terminal-title items onto that shared
preview list
- Feeds both setup views from the same chatwidget-derived preview data,
with terminal-title-specific formatting applied before `/title` preview
renders
- Keeps project-root preview aligned with status-line behavior while
project in /title keeps its title fallback/truncation behavior
- Adds snapshot coverage for live-only, hardcoded-only, and mixed cases
Test Steps
- Open Codex TUI and launch `/statusline`.
- Toggle and reorder items, then verify the preview uses current session
values when possible, and placeholder values for missing values (ex: no
thread ID).
- Open `/title` and verify it shows the same normalized values,
including live status/task-progress values when available.
Addresses #18505
## Summary
When Codex is launched from a subdirectory of a Git repository, the
onboarding trust prompt says it is trusting the current directory even
though the persisted trust target is the repository root. That can make
the scope of the trust decision unclear.
This updates the TUI trust prompt to show a yellow note only when the
current directory differs from the resolved trust target, explaining
that trust applies to the repository root and displaying that root. It
also removes the stale onboarding TODO now that the warning is
implemented.
Addresses #18113
Problem: Shared flags provided before the exec subcommand were parsed by
the root CLI but not inherited by the exec CLI, so exec sessions could
run with stale or default sandbox and model configuration.
Solution: Move shared TUI and exec flags into a common option block and
merge root selections into exec before dispatch, while preserving exec's
global subcommand flag behavior.
## Why
The TUI app module had grown past the 512K source-file cap enforced by
CI/CD. This keeps the app entry point below that limit while preserving
the existing runtime behavior and test surface.
## What changed
- Kept the top-level `App` state and run-loop wiring in
`tui/src/app.rs`.
- Split app responsibilities into focused private submodules under
`tui/src/app/`, covering event dispatch, thread routing, session
lifecycle, config persistence, background requests, startup prompts,
input, history UI, platform actions, and thread event buffering.
- Moved the existing app-level tests into `tui/src/app/tests.rs` and
reused the existing snapshot location rather than adding new tests or
snapshots.
- Added module header comments for `app.rs` and the new submodules.
## Follow-up
A future cleanup can move narrow unit tests from `tui/src/app/tests.rs`
into the specific app submodules they exercise. This PR keeps the
existing app-level tests together so the refactor stays focused on the
source-file split.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib
app::tests::agent_picker_item_name_snapshot`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib app::tests::clear_ui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui --lib
app::tests::ctrl_l_clear_ui_after_long_transcript_reuses_clear_header_snapshot`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
Full `cargo test -p codex-tui` still fails on model-catalog drift
unrelated to this refactor, including stale
`gpt-5.3-codex`/`gpt-5.1-codex` snapshot and migration expectations now
resolving to `gpt-5.4`.
## Summary
Adds a second realtime v2 function tool, `remain_silent`, so the
realtime model has an explicit non-speaking action when the
collaboration mode or latest context says it should not answer aloud.
This is stacked on #18597.
## Design
- Advertise `remain_silent` alongside `background_agent` in realtime v2
conversational sessions.
- Parse `remain_silent` function calls into a typed
`RealtimeEvent::NoopRequested` event.
- Have core answer that function call with an empty
`function_call_output` and deliberately avoid `response.create`, so no
follow-up realtime response is requested.
- Keep the event hidden from app-server/TUI surfaces; it is operational
plumbing, not user-visible conversation content.
## Problem
The TUI resolved fork parent titles from local CODEX_HOME metadata,
which could show missing or stale titles when app-server metadata is
authoritative.
This is a lingering bug left over from the migration of the TUI to the
app-server interface. I found it when I asked Codex to review all places
where the TUI code was still directly accessing the local CODEX_HOME.
## Solution
Route fork parent title metadata through the app-server session state
and render only that supplied title, with focused snapshot coverage for
stale local metadata.
## Testing
I manually tested by renaming a thread then forking it and confirming
that the "forked from" message indicated the parent thread's name.
## Why
Fixes#18718.
After rewinding a thread, `/copy` could still copy the latest assistant
response from before the rewind. The transcript cells were rolled back,
but the copy source was a single `last_agent_markdown` cache that was
not synchronized with backtracking, so the visible conversation and
copied content could diverge.
## What changed
`ChatWidget` now keeps a bounded copy history for the most recent 32
assistant responses, keyed by the visible user-turn count. When local
rollback trims transcript cells, the copy cache is trimmed to the same
surviving user-turn count so `/copy` uses the latest visible assistant
response.
If the user rewinds past the retained copy window, `/copy` now reports:
```text
Cannot copy that response after rewinding. Only the most recent 32 responses are available to /copy.
```
The change also adds coverage for copying the latest surviving response
after rollback and for the over-limit rewind message.
## Verification
- Manually resumed a synthetic 35-turn session, rewound within the
retained window, and verified `/copy` copied the surviving response.
- Manually rewound past the retained window and verified `/copy` showed
the 32-response limit message.
- `cargo test -p codex-tui slash_copy`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots`
Note: `cargo test -p codex-tui` currently fails on unrelated model
catalog and snapshot drift around the default model changing to
`gpt-5.4`; the focused `/copy` tests pass after fixing the new test
setup.
Fixes stale test fixtures left after the active bundled model catalog
updates in #18586 and #18388. Those changes made `gpt-5.4` the current
default and removed several older hardcoded slugs, which left Windows
Bazel shards failing TUI and config tests.
What changed:
- Refresh TUI model migration, availability NUX, plan-mode, status, and
snapshot fixtures to use active bundled model slugs.
- Update the config edit test expectation for the TOML-quoted
`"gpt-5.2"` migration key.
- Move the model catalog tests into
`codex-rs/tui/src/app/tests/model_catalog.rs` so touching them does not
trip the blob-size policy for `app.rs`.
Verification:
- CI Bazel/lint checks are expected to cover the affected test shards.
## Why
`skills/list` refreshes are best-effort metadata updates. If one fails
during startup or thread switching, the TUI should keep running and show
enough detail to diagnose the app-server failure instead of leaving the
user with only a log entry.
This addresses the recoverability and observability issue reported in
#16914.
## What Changed
- Preserve the full startup `skills/list` error chain before sending it
back through the app event queue.
- Surface failed skills refreshes as recoverable TUI error messages
while still logging the warning.
This is related to the recent bug fix from [PR
#18370](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18370).
## Problem
The TUI still imported path utilities and config-loader symbols through
app-server-client's legacy_core facade even though those APIs already
exist in utility/config crates. This is part of our ongoing effort to
whittle away at these old dependencies.
## Solution
Rewire imports to avoid the TUI directly importing from the core crate
and instead import from common lower-level crates. This PR doesn't
include any functional changes; it's just a simple rewiring.
Wires patch_updated events through app_server. These events are parsed
and streamed while apply_patch is being written by the model. Also adds 500ms of buffering to the patch_updated events in the diff_consumer.
The eventual goal is to use this to display better progress indicators in
the codex app.
- Replace the active models-manager catalog with the deleted core
catalog contents.
- Replace stale hardcoded test model slugs with current bundled model
slugs.
- Keep this as a stacked change on top of the cleanup PR.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` needs stable, canonical file-system semantics before
it can become the primary runtime permissions abstraction. Without a
canonical form, callers have to keep re-deriving legacy sandbox maps and
profile comparisons remain lossy or order-dependent.
## What changed
This adds canonicalization helpers for `FileSystemPermissions` and
`PermissionProfile`, expands special paths into explicit sandbox
entries, and updates permission request/conversion paths to consume
those canonical entries. It also tightens the legacy bridge so root-wide
write profiles with narrower carveouts are not silently projected as
full-disk legacy access.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol
root_write_with_read_only_child_is_not_full_disk_write -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing permission -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
## Summary
Side conversations can hide important state changes from the parent
conversation while the user is focused on the side thread. In
particular, the parent may finish, fail, need user input, or require an
approval while the side conversation remains visible. Users need a
lightweight signal for those states, but parent approval overlays should
not interrupt the side conversation itself.
This change adds parent-conversation status to the side conversation
context label and defers parent interactive overlays while side mode is
active. When the user exits side mode, pending parent approvals and
input requests are restored in the main thread. The pending approval
footer avoids duplicating the same parent approval status, and replayed
notice cells are filtered when restoring a pending interactive request
so tips or warnings do not crowd out the approval prompt.
The change is contained to the TUI side-conversation and thread replay
paths.

## Problem
The TUI resume/fork picker was backfilling thread names from local
rollout indexes. This was left over from before the TUI was moved to the
app server. It should be using app-server APIs because the TUI might be
connected to a remote connection.
This bug wasn't (yet) reported by a user. I found it by asking Codex to
review places in the TUI code where it was still directly accessing the
CODEX_HOME directory rather than going through app-server APIs.
## Solution
The resume picker and session lookups should use app-server thread APIs
only. Remove legacy rollout name/list backfills, and avoid local name
reads in fork history.
## Testing
I manually tested `codex resume` and `codex resume --all` to look for
functional or performance regressions in the resume picker.
Fixes#18539.
## Summary
The recent `/mcp` performance work kept the default command fast by
avoiding resource and resource-template inventory probes, but it also
removed useful diagnostics for users trying to confirm MCP server state.
This keeps bare `/mcp` on the fast tools/auth path and adds `/mcp
verbose` for the slower diagnostic view. Verbose mode requests full MCP
server status from the app-server and restores status, resources, and
resource templates in the TUI output.
## Testing
In addition to running automation, I manually tested the feature to
confirm that it works.
Due to the app-server rebase of the TUI, the review prompt was leaked
into the transcript on the TUI
This is not a security issue but it was bad UX. This PR fixes this

- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
## Summary
The TUI still imported several symbols through the transitional
app-server-client `legacy_core` facade even though those symbols are
already owned by smaller crates. This PR narrows that facade by rewiring
those imports directly to their owner crates.
## Changes
No functional changes, just import rewiring. This is part of our ongoing
effort to whittle away at the `legacy_core` namespace, which represents
all of the remaining symbols that the TUI imports from the core.
## Summary
Fixes#18313.
Recent TUI resume breadcrumbs could print a thread title instead of the
stable thread UUID. For sessions whose title was auto-derived from the
first prompt, that made the suggested codex resume command look like it
should resume a long prompt rather than the session ID.
This updates the TUI and CLI post-exit resume hints, plus the in-session
summary shown when switching/forking threads, to always use the stable
thread ID for these recovery breadcrumbs. Explicit name-based resume
support remains available elsewhere.
Fast mode TUI copy currently names a specific plan-usage multiplier in
two lightweight promo/help surfaces. This swaps that exact multiplier
language for the broader increased plan usage wording we use elsewhere.
There are no behavior changes here; the slash command and startup tip
still point users at the same Fast mode flow.
## Summary
Fixes#18554.
The `/experimental` menu can submit the full experimental feature state
even when the user presses Enter without toggling anything. Previously,
Codex showed `Memories will be enabled in the next session.` whenever
the submitted updates included `Feature::MemoryTool = true`, so sessions
where Memories were already enabled could show a redundant warning on a
no-op save.
This change records whether `Feature::MemoryTool` was enabled before
applying feature updates and only emits the next-session notice when
Memories actually transitions from disabled to enabled.
The TUI supports long-running turns and agent threads, but quick side
questions have required interrupting the main flow or manually
forking/navigating threads. This PR adds a guarded `/side` flow so users
can ask brief side-conversation questions in an ephemeral fork while
keeping the primary thread focused. This also helps address the feature
request in #18125.
The implementation creates one side conversation at a time, lets `/side`
open either an empty side thread or immediately submit `/side
<question>`, and returns to the parent with Esc or Ctrl+C. Side
conversations get hidden developer guardrails that treat inherited
history as reference-only and steer the model away from workspace
mutations unless explicitly requested in the side conversation.
The TUI hides most slash commands while side mode is active, leaving
only `/copy`, `/diff`, `/mention`, and `/status` available there.
## Why
Users have asked to queue follow-up slash commands while a task is
running, including in #14081, #14588, #14286, and #13779. The previous
TUI behavior validated slash commands immediately, so commands that are
only meaningful once the current turn is idle could not be queued
consistently.
The queue should preserve what the user typed and defer command parsing
until the item is actually dispatched. This also gives `/fast`, `/review
...`, `/rename ...`, `/model`, `/permissions`, and similar slash
workflows the same FIFO behavior as plain queued prompts.
## What Changed
- Added a queued-input action enum so queued items can be dispatched as
plain prompts, slash commands, or user shell commands.
- Changed `Tab` queueing to accept slash-led prompts without validating
them up front, then parse and dispatch them when dequeued.
- Added `!` shell-command queueing for `Tab` while a task is running,
while preserving existing `Enter` behavior for immediate shell
execution.
- Moved queued slash dispatch through shared slash-command parsing so
inline commands, unavailable commands, unknown commands, and local
config commands report at dequeue time.
- Continued queue draining after local-only actions and after slash menu
cancellation or selection when no task is running.
- Preserved slash-popup completion behavior so `/mo<Tab>` completes to
`/model ` instead of queueing the prefix.
- Updated pending-input preview snapshots to show queued follow-up
inputs.
## Verification
I did a bunch of manual validation (and found and fixed a few bugs along
the way).
# Summary
When a user finishes planning, the TUI asks whether to implement in the
current conversation or start fresh with the approved plan. The
clear-context choice is easier to evaluate when the prompt shows how
much context has already been used, because the user can see when
carrying the full prior conversation is likely to be less useful than
preserving only the plan.

This PR adds that context signal directly to the clear-context option
while keeping the copy compact enough for the Plan-mode selection popup.
# What Changed
- Compute an optional context-usage label when opening the plan
implementation prompt.
- Show the label only on `Yes, clear context and implement`, where it
informs the cleanup decision.
- Prefer a percentage-used label when context-window information is
available, with a compact token-used fallback when only token totals are
known.
- Preserve the original option description when usage is unknown or
effectively zero.
- Add rustdoc comments around the prompt-copy boundary so future changes
keep the context label formatting and selection rendering
responsibilities clear.
# Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-tui plan_implementation`
# Notes
The footer continues to show context remaining as ambient status. The
implementation prompt intentionally shows context used because the user
is choosing whether to clean up the current thread before
implementation.
Cap the model-visible skills section to a small share of the context
window, with a fallback character budget, and keep only as many implicit
skills as fit within that budget.
Emit a non-fatal warning when enabled skills are omitted, and add a new
app-server warning notification
Record thread-start skill metrics for total enabled skills, kept skills,
and whether truncation happened

## Summary
- trust-gate project `.codex` layers consistently, including repos that
have `.codex/hooks.json` or `.codex/execpolicy/*.rules` but no
`.codex/config.toml`
- keep disabled project layers in the config stack so nested trusted
project layers still resolve correctly, while preventing hooks and exec
policies from loading until the project is trusted
- update app-server/TUI onboarding copy to make the trust boundary
explicit and add regressions for loader, hooks, exec-policy, and
onboarding coverage
## Security
Before this change, an untrusted repo could auto-load project hooks or
exec policies from `.codex/` as long as `config.toml` was absent. This
makes trust the single gate for project-local config, hooks, and exec
policies.
## Stack
- Parent of #15936
## Test
- cargo test -p codex-core without_config_toml
