We propagate the session ID when sending requests for inference but we
don't do the same for compaction requests. This makes it hard to link
compaction requests to their session for debugging purposes
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`
## Summary
- move regular-turn context diff/full-context persistence into
`run_turn` so pre-turn compaction runs before incoming context updates
are recorded
- after successful pre-turn compaction, rely on a cleared
`reference_context_item` to trigger full context reinjection on the
follow-up regular turn (manual `/compact` keeps replacement history
summary-only and also clears the baseline)
- preserve `<model_switch>` when full context is reinjected, and inject
it *before* the rest of the full-context items
- scope `reference_context_item` and `previous_model` to regular user
turns only so standalone tasks (`/compact`, shell, review, undo) cannot
suppress future reinjection or `<model_switch>` behavior
- make context-diff persistence + `reference_context_item` updates
explicit in the regular-turn path, with clearer docs/comments around the
invariant
- stop persisting local `/compact` `RolloutItem::TurnContext` snapshots
(only regular turns persist `TurnContextItem` now)
- simplify resume/fork previous-model/reference-baseline hydration by
looking up the last surviving turn context from rollout lifecycle
events, including rollback and compaction-crossing handling
- remove the legacy fallback that guessed from bare `TurnContext`
rollouts without lifecycle events
- update compaction/remote-compaction/model-visible snapshots and
compact test assertions (including remote compaction mock response
shape)
## Why
We were persisting incoming context items before spawning the regular
turn task, which let pre-turn compaction requests accidentally include
incoming context diffs without the new user message. Fixing that exposed
follow-on baseline issues around `/compact`, resume/fork, and standalone
tasks that could cause duplicate context injection or suppress
`<model_switch>` instructions.
This PR re-centers the invariants around regular turns:
- regular turns persist model-visible context diffs/full reinjection and
update the `reference_context_item`
- standalone tasks do not advance those regular-turn baselines
- compaction clears the baseline when replacement history may have
stripped the referenced context diffs
## Follow-ups (TODOs left in code)
- `TODO(ccunningham)`: fix rollback/backtracking baseline handling more
comprehensively
- `TODO(ccunningham)`: include pending incoming context items in
pre-turn compaction threshold estimation
- `TODO(ccunningham)`: inject updated personality spec alongside
`<model_switch>` so some model-switch paths can avoid forced full
reinjection
- `TODO(ccunningham)`: review task turn lifecycle
(`TurnStarted`/`TurnComplete`) behavior and emit task-start context
diffs for task types that should have them (excluding `/compact`)
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- CI should cover the updated compaction/resume/model-visible snapshot
expectations and rollout-hydration behavior
- I did **not** rerun the full local test suite after the latest
resume-lookup / rollout-persistence simplifications
## Summary
- standardize remote compaction test mocking around one default behavior
in shared helpers
- make default remote compact mocks mirror production shape: keep
`message/user` + `message/developer`, drop assistant/tool artifacts,
then append a summary user message
- switch non-special `compact_remote` tests to the shared default mock
instead of ad-hoc JSON payloads
## Special-case tests that still use explicit mocks
- remote compaction error payload / HTTP failure behavior
- summary-only compact output behavior
- manual `/compact` with no prior user messages
- stale developer-instruction injection coverage
## Why
This removes inconsistent manual remote compaction fixtures and gives us
one source of truth for normal remote compact behavior, while preserving
explicit mocks only where tests intentionally cover non-default
behavior.
This PR keeps compaction context-layout test coverage separate from
runtime compaction behavior changes, so runtime logic review can stay
focused.
## Included
- Adds reusable context snapshot helpers in
`core/tests/common/context_snapshot.rs` for rendering model-visible
request/history shapes.
- Standardizes helper naming for readability:
- `format_request_input_snapshot`
- `format_response_items_snapshot`
- `format_labeled_requests_snapshot`
- `format_labeled_items_snapshot`
- Expands snapshot coverage for both local and remote compaction flows:
- pre-turn auto-compaction
- pre-turn failure/context-window-exceeded paths
- mid-turn continuation compaction
- manual `/compact` with and without prior user turns
- Captures both sides where relevant:
- compaction request shape
- post-compaction history layout shape
- Adds/uses shared request-inspection helpers so assertions target
structured request content instead of ad-hoc JSON string parsing.
- Aligns snapshots/assertions to current behavior and leaves explicit
`TODO(ccunningham)` notes where behavior is known and intentionally
deferred.
## Not Included
- No runtime compaction logic changes.
- No model-visible context/state behavior changes.
- Clamp auto-compaction to the minimum of configured limit and 90% of
context window
- Add an e2e compact test for clamped behavior
- Update remote compact tests to account for earlier auto-compaction in
setup turns
## Summary
When replaying compacted history (especially `replacement_history` from
remote compaction), we should not keep stale developer messages from
older session state. This PR trims developer-
role messages from compacted replacement history and reinjects fresh
developer instructions derived from current turn/session state.
This aligns compaction replay behavior with the intended "fresh
instructions after summary" model.
## Problem
Compaction replay had two paths:
- `Compacted { replacement_history: None }`: rebuilt with fresh initial
context
- `Compacted { replacement_history: Some(...) }`: previously used raw
replacement history as-is
The second path could carry stale developer instructions
(permissions/personality/collab-mode guidance) across session changes.
## What Changed
### 1) Added helper to refresh compacted developer instructions
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
- **Function:** `refresh_compacted_developer_instructions(...)`
Behavior:
- remove all `ResponseItem::Message { role: "developer", .. }` from
compacted history
- append fresh developer messages from current
`build_initial_context(...)`
### 2) Applied helper in remote compaction flow
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/compact_remote.rs`
- After receiving compact endpoint output, refresh developer
instructions before replacing history and persisting
`replacement_history`.
### 3) Applied helper while reconstructing history from rollout
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
- In `reconstruct_history_from_rollout(...)`, when processing
`Compacted` entries with `replacement_history`, refresh developer
instructions instead of directly replacing with raw history.
## Non-Goals / Follow-up
This PR does **not** address the existing first-turn-after-resume
double-injection behavior.
A follow-up PR will handle resume-time dedup/idempotence separately.
If you want, I can also give you a shorter “squash-merge friendly”
version of the description.

## Summary
This PR fixes a deterministic mismatch in remote compaction where
pre-trim estimation and the `/v1/responses/compact` payload could use
different base instructions.
Before this change:
- pre-trim estimation used model-derived instructions
(`model_info.get_model_instructions(...)`)
- compact payload used session base instructions
(`sess.get_base_instructions()`)
After this change:
- remote pre-trim estimation and compact payload both use the same
`BaseInstructions` instance from session state.
## Changes
- Added a shared estimator entry point in `ContextManager`:
- `estimate_token_count_with_base_instructions(&self, base_instructions:
&BaseInstructions) -> Option<i64>`
- Kept `estimate_token_count(&TurnContext)` as a thin wrapper that
resolves model/personality instructions and delegates to the new helper.
- Updated remote compaction flow to fetch base instructions once and
reuse it for both:
- trim preflight estimation
- compact request payload construction
- Added regression coverage for parity and behavior:
- unit test verifying explicit-base estimator behavior
- integration test proving remote compaction uses session override
instructions and trims accordingly
## Why this matters
This removes a deterministic divergence source where pre-trim could
think the request fits while the actual compact request exceeded context
because its instructions were longer/different.
## Scope
In scope:
- estimator/payload base-instructions parity in remote compaction
Out of scope:
- retry-on-`context_length_exceeded`
- compaction threshold/headroom policy changes
- broader trimming policy changes
## Codex author:
`codex fork 019c2b24-c2df-7b31-a482-fb8cf7a28559`
Two fixes:
1. Include trailing tool output in the total context size calculation.
Otherwise when checking whether compaction should run we ignore newly
added outputs.
2. Trim trailing tool output/tool calls until we can fit the request
into the model context size. Otherwise the compaction endpoint will fail
to compact. We only trim items that can be reproduced again by the model
(tool calls, tool call outputs).

What changed
- Added `outputSchema` support to the app-server APIs, mirroring `codex
exec --output-schema` behavior.
- V1 `sendUserTurn` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
assistant message for that turn.
- V2 `turn/start` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
assistant message for that turn (explicitly per-turn only).
Core behavior
- `Op::UserTurn` already supported `final_output_json_schema`; now V1
`sendUserTurn` forwards `outputSchema` into that field.
- `Op::UserInput` now carries `final_output_json_schema` for per-turn
settings updates; core maps it into
`SessionSettingsUpdate.final_output_json_schema` so it applies to the
created turn context.
- V2 `turn/start` does NOT persist the schema via `OverrideTurnContext`
(it’s applied only for the current turn). Other overrides
(cwd/model/etc) keep their existing persistent behavior.
API / docs
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs`: add `output_schema:
Option<serde_json::Value>` to `SendUserTurnParams` (serialized as
`outputSchema`).
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`: add `output_schema:
Option<JsonValue>` to `TurnStartParams` (serialized as `outputSchema`).
- `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`: document `outputSchema` for
`turn/start` and clarify it applies only to the current turn.
- `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`: document `outputSchema` for v1
`sendUserTurn` and v2 `turn/start`.
Tests added/updated
- New app-server integration tests asserting `outputSchema` is forwarded
into outbound `/responses` requests as `text.format`:
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/output_schema.rs`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/output_schema.rs`
- Added per-turn semantics tests (schema does not leak to the next
turn):
- `send_user_turn_output_schema_is_per_turn_v1`
- `turn_start_output_schema_is_per_turn_v2`
- Added protocol wire-compat tests for the merged op:
- serialize omits `final_output_json_schema` when `None`
- deserialize works when field is missing
- serialize includes `final_output_json_schema` when `Some(schema)`
Call site updates (high level)
- Updated all `Op::UserInput { .. }` constructions to include
`final_output_json_schema`:
- `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/codex_delegate.rs`
- `codex-rs/mcp-server/src/codex_tool_runner.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`
- `codex-rs/tui2/src/chatwidget.rs`
- plus impacted core tests.
