## Why
This PR is the current, consolidated follow-up to the earlier Windows
Bazel attempt in #11229. The goal is no longer just to get a tiny
Windows smoke job limping along: it is to make the ordinary Bazel CI
path usable on `windows-latest` for `x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`, with
the same broad `//...` test shape that macOS and Linux already use.
The earlier smoke-list version of this work was useful as a foothold,
but it was not a good long-term landing point. Windows Bazel kept
surfacing real issues outside that allowlist:
- GitHub's Windows runner exposed runfiles-manifest bugs such as
`FINDSTR: Cannot open D:MANIFEST`, which broke Bazel test launchers even
when the manifest file existed.
- `rules_rs`, `rules_rust`, LLVM extraction, and Abseil still needed
`windows-gnullvm`-specific fixes for our hermetic toolchain.
- the V8 path needed more work than just turning the Windows matrix
entry back on: `rusty_v8` does not ship Windows GNU artifacts in the
same shape we need, and Bazel's in-tree V8 build needed a set of Windows
GNU portability fixes.
Windows performance pressure also pushed this toward a full solution
instead of a permanent smoke suite. During this investigation we hit
targets such as `//codex-rs/shell-command:shell-command-unit-tests` that
were much more expensive on Windows because they repeatedly spawn real
PowerShell parsers (see #16057 for one concrete example of that
pressure). That made it much more valuable to get the real Windows Bazel
path working than to keep iterating on a narrowly curated subset.
The net result is that this PR now aims for the same CI contract on
Windows that we already expect elsewhere: keep standalone
`//third_party/v8:all` out of the ordinary Bazel lane, but allow V8
consumers under `//codex-rs/...` to build and test transitively through
`//...`.
## What Changed
### CI and workflow wiring
- re-enable the `windows-latest` / `x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` Bazel
matrix entry in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
- move the Windows Bazel output root to `D:\b` and enable `git config
--global core.longpaths true` in
`.github/actions/setup-bazel-ci/action.yml`
- keep the ordinary Bazel target set on Windows aligned with macOS and
Linux by running `//...` while excluding only standalone
`//third_party/v8:all` targets from the normal lane
### Toolchain and module support for `windows-gnullvm`
- patch `rules_rs` so `windows-gnullvm` is modeled as a distinct Windows
exec/toolchain platform instead of collapsing into the generic Windows
shape
- patch `rules_rust` build-script environment handling so llvm-mingw
build-script probes do not inherit unsupported `-fstack-protector*`
flags
- patch the LLVM module archive so it extracts cleanly on Windows and
provides the MinGW libraries this toolchain needs
- patch Abseil so its thread-local identity path matches the hermetic
`windows-gnullvm` toolchain instead of taking an incompatible MinGW
pthread path
- keep both MSVC and GNU Windows targets in the generated Cargo metadata
because the current V8 release-asset story still uses MSVC-shaped names
in some places while the Bazel build targets the GNU ABI
### Windows test-launch and binary-behavior fixes
- update `workspace_root_test_launcher.bat.tpl` to read the runfiles
manifest directly instead of shelling out to `findstr`, which was the
source of the `D:MANIFEST` failures on the GitHub Windows runner
- thread a larger Windows GNU stack reserve through `defs.bzl` so
Bazel-built binaries that pull in V8 behave correctly both under normal
builds and under `bazel test`
- remove the no-longer-needed Windows bootstrap sh-toolchain override
from `.bazelrc`
### V8 / `rusty_v8` Windows GNU support
- export and apply the new Windows GNU patch set from
`patches/BUILD.bazel` / `MODULE.bazel`
- patch the V8 module/rules/source layers so the in-tree V8 build can
produce Windows GNU archives under Bazel
- teach `third_party/v8/BUILD.bazel` to build Windows GNU static
archives in-tree instead of aliasing them to the MSVC prebuilts
- reuse the Linux release binding for the experimental Windows GNU path
where `rusty_v8` does not currently publish a Windows GNU binding
artifact
## Testing
- the primary end-to-end validation for this work is the `Bazel`
workflow plus `v8-canary`, since the hard parts are Windows-specific and
depend on real GitHub runner behavior
- before consolidation back onto this PR, the same net change passed the
full Bazel matrix in [run
23675590471](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/23675590471)
and passed `v8-canary` in [run
23675590453](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/23675590453)
- those successful runs included the `windows-latest` /
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` Bazel job with the ordinary `//...` path,
not the earlier Windows smoke allowlist

## Summary
When network requests were blocked, downstream code often had to infer
ask vs deny from free-form response text. That was brittle and led to
incorrect approval behavior.
This PR fixes the proxy side so blocked decisions are structured and
request metadata survives reliably.
## Description
- Blocked proxy responses now carry consistent structured policy
decision data.
- Request attempt metadata is preserved across proxy env paths
(including ALL_PROXY flows).
- Header stripping was tightened so we still remove unsafe forwarding
headers, but keep metadata needed for policy handling.
- Block messages were clarified (for example, allowlist miss vs explicit
deny).
- Added unified violation log entries so policy failures can be
inspected in one place.
- Added/updated tests for these behaviors.

## Notes / Edge Cases
- In steer mode while typing, the queue hint no longer replaces the mode
label; it renders as `tab to queue message · {Mode}`.
- Collapse priorities differ by state:
- With the queue hint active, `% context left` is hidden before
shortening or dropping the queue hint.
- In the empty + non-running state, `? for shortcuts` is dropped first,
and `% context left` is only shown if `(shift+tab to
cycle)` can also fit.
- Transient instructional states (`?` overlay, Esc hint, Ctrl+C/D
reminders, and flash/override hints) intentionally suppress the
mode label (and context) to focus the next action.
## Implementation Notes
- Renamed the base footer modes to make the state explicit:
`ComposerEmpty` and `ComposerHasDraft`, and compute the base mode
directly from emptiness.
- Unified collapse behavior in `single_line_footer_layout` for both base
modes, with:
- Queue-hint behavior that prefers keeping the queue hint over context.
- A cycle-hint guard that prevents context from reappearing after
`(shift+tab to cycle)` is dropped.
- Kept rendering responsibilities explicit:
- `single_line_footer_layout` decides what fits.
- `render_footer_line` renders a chosen line.
- `render_footer_from_props` renders the canonical mode-to-text mapping.
- Expanded snapshot coverage:
- Added `footer_collapse_snapshots` in `chat_composer.rs` to lock the
distinct collapse states across widths.
- Consolidated the width-aware snapshot helper usage (e.g.,
`snapshot_composer_state_with_width`,
`snapshot_footer_with_mode_indicator`).
# Terminal Detection Metadata for Per-Terminal Scroll Scaling
## Summary
Expand terminal detection into structured metadata (`TerminalInfo`) with
multiplexer awareness, plus a testable environment shim and
characterization tests.
## Context / Motivation
- TUI2 owns its viewport and scrolling model (see
`codex-rs/tui2/docs/tui_viewport_and_history.md`), so scroll behavior
must be consistent across terminals and independent of terminal
scrollback quirks.
- Prior investigations show mouse wheel scroll deltas vary noticeably by
terminal. To tune scroll scaling (line increments per wheel tick) we
need reliable terminal identification, including when running inside
tmux/zellij.
- tmux is especially tricky because it can mask the underlying terminal;
we now consult `tmux display-message` client termtype/name to attribute
sessions to the actual terminal rather than tmux itself.
- This remains backwards compatible with the existing OpenTelemetry
user-agent token because `user_agent()` is still derived from the same
environment signals (now via `TerminalInfo`).
## Changes
- Introduce `TerminalInfo`, `TerminalName`, and `Multiplexer` with
`TERM_PROGRAM`/`TERM`/multiplexer detection and user-agent formatting in
`codex-rs/core/src/terminal.rs`.
- Add an injectable `Environment` trait + `FakeEnvironment` for testing,
and comprehensive characterization tests covering known terminals, tmux
client termtype/name, and zellij.
- Document module usage and detection order; update `terminal_info()` to
be the primary interface for callers.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core terminal::tests`
- manually checked ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal.app, vscode, tmux, zellij,
Warp, alacritty, kitty.

```
## Notes / Follow-ups
- Next step is to wire `TerminalInfo` into TUI2’s scroll scaling
configuration and add a per-terminal tuning table.
- The log output in TUI2 helps validate real-world detection before
applying behavior changes.
Wait for newlines, then render markdown on a line by line basis. Word wrap it for the current terminal size and then spit it out line by line into the UI. Also adds tests and fixes some UI regressions.

I personally introduced it to dozens if not hundreds of projects already
and so far only positive feedback.
CI workflow has 'permissions' set only to 'read' so also should be safe.
Let me know if just want to take typo fixes in and get rid of the CI
