At over 7,000 lines, `codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` was getting a bit
unwieldy.
This PR does the same type of move as
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12957 to put unit tests in their
own file, though I decided `config_tests.rs` is a more intuitive name
than `mod_tests.rs`.
Ultimately, I'll codemod the rest of the codebase to follow suit, but I
want to do it in stages to reduce merge conflicts for people.
## Summary
Simplify the trusted directory flow. This logic was originally designed
several months ago, to determine if codex should start in read-only or
workspace-write mode. However, that's no longer the purpose of directory
trust - and therefore we should get rid of this logic.
## Testing
- [x] Unit tests pass
## Summary
- delete the network proxy admin server and its runtime listener/task
plumbing
- remove the admin endpoint config, runtime, requirement, protocol,
schema, and debug-surface fields
- update proxy docs to reflect the remaining HTTP and SOCKS listeners
only
## 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.
followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13212 to expose fast
tier controls to app server
(majority of this PR is generated schema jsons - actual code is +69 /
-35 and +24 tests )
- add service tier fields to the app-server protocol surfaces used by
thread lifecycle, turn start, config, and session configured events
- thread service tier through the app-server message processor and core
thread config snapshots
- allow runtime config overrides to carry service tier for app-server
callers
cleanup:
- Removing useless "legacy" code supporting "standard" - we moved to
None | "fast", so "standard" is not needed.
- add a local Fast mode setting in codex-core (similar to how model id
is currently stored on disk locally)
- send `service_tier=priority` on requests when Fast is enabled
- add `/fast` in the TUI and persist it locally
- feature flag
- migrate the realtime websocket transport to the new session and
handoff flow
- make the realtime model configurable in config.toml and use API-key
auth for the websocket

Support loading plugins.
Plugins can now be enabled via [plugins.<name>] in config.toml. They are
loaded as first-class entities through PluginsManager, and their default
skills/ and .mcp.json contributions are integrated into the existing
skills and MCP flows.
- override startup tooltips with model availability NUX and persist
per-model show counts in config
- stop showing each model after four exposures and fall back to normal
tooltips
Addresses bug https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12589
Builds on community PR #12763.
This adds `oauth_resource` support for MCP `streamable_http` servers and
wires it through the relevant config and login paths. It fixes the bug
where the configured OAuth resource was not reliably included in the
authorization request, causing MCP login to omit the expected
`resource` parameter.
## Why
Before this change, an escalation approval could say that a command
should be rerun, but it could not carry the sandbox configuration that
should still apply when the escalated command is actually spawned.
That left an unsafe gap in the `zsh-fork` skill path: skill scripts
under `scripts/` that did not declare permissions could be escalated
without a sandbox, and scripts that did declare permissions could lose
their bounded sandbox on rerun or cached session approval.
This PR extends the escalation protocol so approvals can optionally
carry sandbox configuration all the way through execution. That lets the
shell runtime preserve the intended sandbox instead of silently widening
access.
We likely want a single permissions type for this codepath eventually,
probably centered on `Permissions`. For now, the protocol needs to
represent both the existing `PermissionProfile` form and the fuller
`Permissions` form, so this introduces a temporary disjoint union,
`EscalationPermissions`, to carry either one.
Further, this means that today, a skill either:
- does not declare any permissions, in which case it is run using the
default sandbox for the turn
- specifies permissions, in which case the skill is run using that exact
sandbox, which might be more restrictive than the default sandbox for
the turn
We will likely change the skill's permissions to be additive to the
existing permissions for the turn.
## What Changed
- Added `EscalationPermissions` to `codex-protocol` so escalation
requests can carry either a `PermissionProfile` or a full `Permissions`
payload.
- Added an explicit `EscalationExecution` mode to the shell escalation
protocol so reruns distinguish between `Unsandboxed`, `TurnDefault`, and
`Permissions(...)` instead of overloading `None`.
- Updated `zsh-fork` shell reruns to resolve `TurnDefault` at execution
time, which keeps ordinary `UseDefault` commands on the turn sandbox and
preserves turn-level macOS seatbelt profile extensions.
- Updated the `zsh-fork` skill path so a skill with no declared
permissions inherits the conversation's effective sandbox instead of
escalating unsandboxed.
- Updated the `zsh-fork` skill path so a skill with declared permissions
reruns with exactly those permissions, including when a cached session
approval is reused.
## Testing
- Added unit coverage in
`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` for the explicit
`UseDefault` / `RequireEscalated` / `WithAdditionalPermissions`
execution mapping.
- Added unit coverage in
`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` for macOS seatbelt
extension preservation in both the `TurnDefault` and
explicit-permissions rerun paths.
- Added integration coverage in `core/tests/suite/skill_approval.rs` for
permissionless skills inheriting the turn sandbox and explicit skill
permissions remaining bounded across cached approval reuse.
## Summary
- make `Config.model_reasoning_summary` optional so unset means use
model default
- resolve the optional config value to a concrete summary when building
`TurnContext`
- add protocol support for `default_reasoning_summary` in model metadata
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib client::tests -- --nocapture`

**PR Summary**
This PR adds embedded-only OTEL policy audit logging for
`codex-network-proxy` and threads audit metadata from `codex-core` into
managed proxy startup.
### What changed
- Added structured audit event emission in `network_policy.rs` with
target `codex_otel.network_proxy`.
- Emitted:
- `codex.network_proxy.domain_policy_decision` once per domain-policy
evaluation.
- `codex.network_proxy.block_decision` for non-domain denies.
- Added required policy/network fields, RFC3339 UTC millisecond
`event.timestamp`, and fallback defaults (`http.request.method="none"`,
`client.address="unknown"`).
- Added non-domain deny audit emission in HTTP/SOCKS handlers for
mode-guard and proxy-state denies, including unix-socket deny paths.
- Added `REASON_UNIX_SOCKET_UNSUPPORTED` and used it for unsupported
unix-socket auditing.
- Added `NetworkProxyAuditMetadata` to runtime/state, re-exported from
`lib.rs` and `state.rs`.
- Added `start_proxy_with_audit_metadata(...)` in core config, with
`start_proxy()` delegating to default metadata.
- Wired metadata construction in `codex.rs` from session/auth context,
including originator sanitization for OTEL-safe tagging.
- Updated `network-proxy/README.md` with embedded-mode audit schema and
behavior notes.
- Refactored HTTP block-audit emission to a small local helper to reduce
duplication.
- Preserved existing unix-socket proxy-disabled host/path behavior for
responses and blocked history while using an audit-only endpoint
override (`server.address="unix-socket"`, `server.port=0`).
### Explicit exclusions
- No standalone proxy OTEL startup work.
- No `main.rs` binary wiring.
- No `standalone_otel.rs`.
- No standalone docs/tests.
### Tests
- Extended `network_policy.rs` tests for event mapping, metadata
propagation, fallbacks, timestamp format, and target prefix.
- Extended HTTP tests to assert unix-socket deny block audit events.
- Extended SOCKS tests to cover deny emission from handler deny
branches.
- Added/updated core tests to verify audit metadata threading into
managed proxy state.
### Validation run
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` ✅
- `cargo test -p codex-core` ran with one unrelated flaky timeout
(`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`), and
the test passed when rerun directly ✅

## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` previously
located `codex-execve-wrapper` by scanning `PATH` and sibling
directories. That lookup is brittle and can select the wrong binary when
the runtime environment differs from startup assumptions.
We already pass `codex-linux-sandbox` from `codex-arg0`;
`codex-execve-wrapper` should use the same startup-driven path plumbing.
## What changed
- Introduced `Arg0DispatchPaths` in `codex-arg0` to carry both helper
executable paths:
- `codex_linux_sandbox_exe`
- `main_execve_wrapper_exe`
- Updated `arg0_dispatch_or_else()` to pass `Arg0DispatchPaths` to
top-level binaries and preserve helper paths created in
`prepend_path_entry_for_codex_aliases()`.
- Threaded `Arg0DispatchPaths` through entrypoints in `cli`, `exec`,
`tui`, `app-server`, and `mcp-server`.
- Added `main_execve_wrapper_exe` to core configuration plumbing
(`Config`, `ConfigOverrides`, and `SessionServices`).
- Updated zsh-fork shell escalation to consume the configured
`main_execve_wrapper_exe` and removed path-sniffing fallback logic.
- Updated app-server config reload paths so reloaded configs keep the
same startup-provided helper executable paths.

## Summary
Adds syntax highlighting to the TUI for fenced code blocks in markdown
responses and file diffs, plus a `/theme` command with live preview and
persistent theme selection. Uses syntect (~250 grammars, 32 bundled
themes, ~1 MB binary cost) — the same engine behind `bat`, `delta`, and
`xi-editor`. Includes guardrails for large inputs, graceful fallback to
plain text, and SSH-aware clipboard integration for the `/copy` command.

## Problem
Code blocks in the TUI (markdown responses and file diffs) render
without syntax highlighting, making it hard to scan code at a glance.
Users also have no way to pick a color theme that matches their terminal
aesthetic.
## Mental model
The highlighting system has three layers:
1. **Syntax engine** (`render::highlight`) -- a thin wrapper around
syntect + two-face. It owns a process-global `SyntaxSet` (~250 grammars)
and a `RwLock<Theme>` that can be swapped at runtime. All public entry
points accept `(code, lang)` and return ratatui `Span`/`Line` vectors or
`None` when the language is unrecognized or the input exceeds safety
guardrails.
2. **Rendering consumers** -- `markdown_render` feeds fenced code blocks
through the engine; `diff_render` highlights Add/Delete content as a
whole file and Update hunks per-hunk (preserving parser state across
hunk lines). Both callers fall back to plain unstyled text when the
engine returns `None`.
3. **Theme lifecycle** -- at startup the config's `tui.theme` is
resolved to a syntect `Theme` via `set_theme_override`. At runtime the
`/theme` picker calls `set_syntax_theme` to swap themes live; on cancel
it restores the snapshot taken at open. On confirm it persists `[tui]
theme = "..."` to config.toml.
## Non-goals
- Inline diff highlighting (word-level change detection within a line).
- Semantic / LSP-backed highlighting.
- Theme authoring tooling; users supply standard `.tmTheme` files.
## Tradeoffs
| Decision | Upside | Downside |
| ------------------------------------------------ |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| syntect over tree-sitter / arborium | ~1 MB binary increase for ~250
grammars + 32 themes; battle-tested crate powering widely-used tools
(`bat`, `delta`, `xi-editor`). tree-sitter would add ~12 MB for 20-30
languages or ~35 MB for full coverage. | Regex-based; less structurally
accurate than tree-sitter for some languages (e.g. language injections
like JS-in-HTML). |
| Global `RwLock<Theme>` | Enables live `/theme` preview without
threading Theme through every call site | Lock contention risk
(mitigated: reads vastly outnumber writes, single UI thread) |
| Skip background / italic / underline from themes | Terminal BG
preserved, avoids ugly rendering on some themes | Themes that rely on
these properties lose fidelity |
| Guardrails: 512 KB / 10k lines | Prevents pathological stalls on huge
diffs or pastes | Very large files render without color |
## Architecture

Key files:
- `tui/src/render/highlight.rs` -- engine, theme management, guardrails
- `tui/src/diff_render.rs` -- syntax-aware diff line wrapping
- `tui/src/theme_picker.rs` -- `/theme` command builder
- `tui/src/bottom_pane/list_selection_view.rs` -- side content panel,

## Observability
- `tracing::warn` when a configured theme name cannot be resolved.
- `Config::startup_warnings` surfaces the same message as a TUI banner.
- `tracing::error` when persisting theme selection fails.
## Tests
- Unit tests in `highlight.rs`: language coverage, fallback behavior,
CRLF stripping, style conversion, guardrail enforcement, theme name
mapping exhaustiveness.
- Unit tests in `diff_render.rs`: snapshot gallery at multiple terminal
sizes (80x24, 94x35, 120x40), syntax-highlighted wrapping, large-diff
guardrail, rename-to-different-extension highlighting, parser state
preservation across hunk lines.
- Unit tests in `theme_picker.rs`: preview rendering (wide + narrow),
dim overlay on deletions, subtitle truncation, cancel-restore, fallback
for unavailable configured theme.
- Unit tests in `list_selection_view.rs`: side layout geometry, stacked
fallback, buffer clearing, cancel/selection-changed callbacks.
- Integration test in `lib.rs`: theme warning uses the final
(post-resume) config.
## Cargo Deny: Unmaintained Dependency Exceptions
This PR adds two `cargo deny` advisory exceptions for transitive
dependencies pulled in by `syntect v5.3.0`:
| Advisory | Crate | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| RUSTSEC-2024-0320 | `yaml-rust` | Unmaintained (maintainer
unreachable) |
| RUSTSEC-2025-0141 | `bincode` | Unmaintained (development ceased;
v1.3.3 considered complete) |
**Why this is safe in our usage:**
- Neither advisory describes a known security vulnerability. Both are
"unmaintained" notices only.
- `bincode` is used by syntect to deserialize pre-compiled syntax sets.
Again, these are **static vendored artifacts** baked into the binary at
build time. No user-supplied bincode data is ever deserialized. - Attack
surface is zero for both crates; exploitation would require a
supply-chain compromise of our own build artifacts.
- These exceptions can be removed when syntect migrates to `yaml-rust2`
and drops `bincode`, or when alternative crates are available upstream.
## Why
Compiling `codex-rs/core` is a bottleneck for local iteration, so this
change continues the ongoing extraction of config-related functionality
out of `codex-core` and into `codex-config`.
The goal is not just to move code, but to reduce `codex-core` ownership
and indirection so more code depends on `codex-config` directly.
## What Changed
- Moved config diagnostics logic from
`core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` into
`config/src/diagnostics.rs`.
- Updated `codex-core` to use `codex-config` diagnostics types/functions
directly where possible.
- Removed the `core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` shim module
entirely; the remaining `ConfigToml`-specific calls are in
`core/src/config_loader/mod.rs`.
- Moved `CONFIG_TOML_FILE` into `codex-config` and updated existing
references to use `codex_config::CONFIG_TOML_FILE` directly.
- Added a direct `codex-config` dependency to `codex-cli` for its
`CONFIG_TOML_FILE` use.
- add top-level `experimental_realtime_ws_backend_prompt` config key
(experimental / do not use) and include it in config schema
- apply the override only to `Op::RealtimeConversation` websocket
`backend_prompt`, with config + realtime tests
Addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/11013
## Summary
- add a Plan implementation path in the TUI that lets users choose
reasoning before switching to Default mode and implementing
- add Plan-mode reasoning scope handling (Plan-only override vs
all-modes default), including config/schema/docs plumbing for
`plan_mode_reasoning_effort`
- remove the hardcoded Plan preset medium default and make the reasoning
popup reflect the active Plan override as `(current)`
- split the collaboration-mode switch notification UI hint into #12307
to keep this diff focused

## Summary
Adds support for a Unix socket escape hatch so we can bypass socket
allowlisting when explicitly enabled.
## Description
* added a new flag, `network.dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets` as an
explicit escape hatch
* In codex-network-proxy, enabling that flag now allows any absolute
Unix socket path from x-unix-socket instead of requiring each path to be
explicitly allowlisted. Relative paths are still rejected.
* updated the macOS seatbelt path in core so it enforces the same Unix
socket behavior:
* allowlisted sockets generate explicit network* subpath rules
* allow-all generates a broad network* (subpath "/") rule

## Summary
Implements the `ConfigToml.permissions.network` and uses it to populate
`NetworkProxyConfig`. We now parse a new nested permissions/network
config shape which is converted into the proxy’s runtime config.
When managed requirements exist, we still apply those constraints on top
of user settings (so managed policy still wins).
* Cleaned up the old constructor path so it now accepts both user config
+ managed constraints directly.
* Updated the reload path so live proxy config reloads respect
[permissions.network] too, while still supporting the existing top-level
[network] format.
### Behavior
- User-defined `[permissions.network]` values are now honored.
- Managed constraints still take effect and are validated against the
resulting policy.
## Summary
Implements a configurable MCP OAuth callback URL override for `codex mcp
login` and app-server OAuth login flows, including support for non-local
callback endpoints (for example, devbox ingress URLs).
## What changed
- Added new config key: `mcp_oauth_callback_url` in
`~/.codex/config.toml`.
- OAuth authorization now uses `mcp_oauth_callback_url` as
`redirect_uri` when set.
- Callback handling validates the callback path against the configured
redirect URI path.
- Listener bind behavior is now host-aware:
- local callback URL hosts (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `::1`) bind to
`127.0.0.1`
- non-local callback URL hosts bind to `0.0.0.0`
- `mcp_oauth_callback_port` remains supported and is used for the
listener port.
- Wired through:
- CLI MCP login flow
- App-server MCP OAuth login flow
- Skill dependency OAuth login flow
- Updated config schema and config tests.
## Why
Some environments need OAuth callbacks to land on a specific reachable
URL (for example ingress in remote devboxes), not loopback. This change
allows that while preserving local defaults for existing users.
## Backward compatibility
- No behavior change when `mcp_oauth_callback_url` is unset.
- Existing `mcp_oauth_callback_port` behavior remains intact.
- Local callback flows continue binding to loopback by default.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client callback -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib mcp_oauth_callback -- --nocapture`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server -p codex-rmcp-client`
## Example config
```toml
mcp_oauth_callback_port = 5555
mcp_oauth_callback_url = "https://<devbox>-<namespace>.gateway.<cluster>.internal.api.openai.org/callback"
Summary
- expose `agents.max_depth` in config schema and toml parsing, with
defaults and validation
- thread-spawn depth guards and multi-agent handler now respect the
configured limit instead of a hardcoded value
- ensure documentation and helpers account for agent depth limits
TL;DR
Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config support so users can supply a
local model catalog override from a JSON file path (including adding new
models) without backend changes.
### Problem
Codex previously had no clean client-side way to replace/overlay model
catalog data for local testing of model metadata and new model entries.
### Fix
- Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config field (JSON file path).
- Apply catalog entries when resolving `ModelInfo`:
1. Base resolved model metadata (remote/fallback)
2. Catalog overlay from `model_catalog_json`
3. Existing global top-level overrides (`model_context_window`,
`model_supports_reasoning_summaries`, etc.)
### Note
Will revisit per-field overrides in a follow-up
### Tests
Added tests

`js_repl_kernel.js`, which is written to a per-kernel temp dir. This
effectively means that bare imports will not resolve.
This PR adds a new config option, `js_repl_node_module_dirs`, which is a
list of dirs that are used (in order) to resolve a bare import. If none
of those work, the current working directory of the thread is used.
For example:
```toml
js_repl_node_module_dirs = [
"/path/to/node_modules/",
"/other/path/to/node_modules/",
]
```

### Summary
This PR introduces a feature-gated native shell runtime path that routes
shell execution through a patched zsh exec bridge, removing MCP-specific
behavior from the shell hot path while preserving existing
CommandExecution lifecycle semantics.
When shell_zsh_fork is enabled, shell commands run via patched zsh with
per-`execve` interception through EXEC_WRAPPER. Core receives wrapper
IPC requests over a Unix socket, applies existing approval policy, and
returns allow/deny before the subcommand executes.
### What’s included
**1) New zsh exec bridge runtime in core**
- Wrapper-mode entrypoint (maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode) for
EXEC_WRAPPER invocations.
- Per-execution Unix-socket IPC handling for wrapper requests/responses.
- Approval callback integration using existing core approval
orchestration.
- Streaming stdout/stderr deltas to existing command output event
pipeline.
- Error handling for malformed IPC, denial/abort, and execution
failures.
**2) Session lifecycle integration**
SessionServices now owns a `ZshExecBridge`.
Session startup initializes bridge state; shutdown tears it down
cleanly.
**3) Shell runtime routing (feature-gated)**
When `shell_zsh_fork` is enabled:
- Build execution env/spec as usual.
- Add wrapper socket env wiring.
- Execute via `zsh_exec_bridge.execute_shell_request(...)` instead of
the regular shell path.
- Non-zsh-fork behavior remains unchanged.
**4) Config + feature wiring**
- Added `Feature::ShellZshFork` (under development).
- Added config support for `zsh_path` (optional absolute path to patched
zsh):
- `Config`, `ConfigToml`, `ConfigProfile`, overrides, and schema.
- Session startup validates that `zsh_path` exists/usable when zsh-fork
is enabled.
- Added startup test for missing `zsh_path` failure mode.
**5) Seatbelt/sandbox updates for wrapper IPC**
- Extended seatbelt policy generation to optionally allow outbound
connection to explicitly permitted Unix sockets.
- Wired sandboxing path to pass wrapper socket path through to seatbelt
policy generation.
- Added/updated seatbelt tests for explicit socket allow rule and
argument emission.
**6) Runtime entrypoint hooks**
- This allows the same binary to act as the zsh wrapper subprocess when
invoked via `EXEC_WRAPPER`.
**7) Tool selection behavior**
- ToolsConfig now prefers ShellCommand type when shell_zsh_fork is
enabled.
- Added test coverage for precedence with unified-exec enabled.
