## Why
This is a small precursor to the larger permissions-migration work. Both
the comparison stack in
[#22401](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22401) /
[#22402](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22402) and the alternate
stack in [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610) /
[#22611](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22611) /
[#22612](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22612) are easier to
review if the terminology is already settled underneath them.
Because `:project_roots` and `:danger-no-sandbox` have not shipped as
stable user-facing surface area, carrying them forward as aliases would
just add more migration logic to the later stacks. This PR removes that
ambiguity now so the follow-on work can rely on one spelling for each
built-in concept.
## What Changed
- renamed the config-facing special filesystem key from `:project_roots`
to `:workspace_roots`
- dropped unpublished `:project_roots` parsing support in
`core/src/config/permissions.rs`, so new config only recognizes
`:workspace_roots`
- renamed the built-in full-access permission profile id from
`:danger-no-sandbox` to `:danger-full-access`
- dropped unpublished `:danger-no-sandbox` support entirely, including
the old active-profile canonicalization path, and added explicit
rejection coverage for the legacy id
- introduced shared built-in permission-profile id constants in
`codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`
- updated `core`, `app-server`, and `tui` call sites that special-case
built-in profiles to use the shared constants and canonical ids
- updated tests and the Linux sandbox README to use `:workspace_roots` /
`:danger-full-access`
## Verification
I focused verification on the three places this rename can regress:
config parsing, active-profile identity surfaced back out of `core`, and
user/server call sites that special-case built-in profiles.
Targeted checks:
-
`config::tests::default_permissions_can_select_builtin_profile_without_permissions_table`
-
`config::tests::default_permissions_read_only_applies_additional_writable_roots_as_modifications`
-
`config::tests::default_permissions_can_select_builtin_full_access_profile`
- `config::tests::legacy_danger_no_sandbox_is_rejected`
- `workspace_root` filtered `codex-core` tests
-
`request_processors::thread_processor::thread_processor_tests::thread_processor_behavior_tests::requested_permissions_trust_project_uses_permission_profile_intent`
-
`suite::v2::turn_start::turn_start_rejects_invalid_permission_selection_before_starting_turn`
- `status::tests::status_snapshot_shows_auto_review_permissions`
-
`status::tests::status_permissions_full_disk_managed_with_network_is_danger_full_access`
-
`app_server_session::tests::embedded_turn_permissions_use_active_profile_selection`
## Summary
- carry the per-turn extension data through RunningTask so abort
handling can rebuild SessionTaskContext
- update stale test ExtensionData::new() callsites to pass the turn id
## Testing
- Not run after PR branch creation; CI will cover.
## Summary
- Treat PowerShell stop-parsing token forms as unsupported in the
AST-backed command flattener.
- Add focused regressions at the parser layer and Windows command-safety
layer.
## Why
The command-safety parser lowers PowerShell AST elements into argv-like
words. Stop-parsing syntax preserves a native-command argument shape
that this lowering does not model, so these forms should stay on the
conservative unsupported path.
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml --all --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml -p
codex-shell-command`
## Why
`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.
That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.
## What Changed
- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.
## Limits
`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.
Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:
- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes
## Verification
Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

## Summary
- run registered TurnItemContributor hooks for parsed stream output
items
- plumb the active turn extension store into stream item handling
- preserve existing memory citation parsing as fallback after
contributors run
## Tests
- cargo test -p codex-core stream_events_utils -- --nocapture
- just fmt
- just fix -p codex-core
- git diff --check
## Why
`codex_tools::ToolExecutor` keeps a tool spec attached to its runtime
handler, but extension tools still carried a parallel
`ExtensionToolFuture` / `ExtensionToolExecutor` shape. That made
extension-owned tools look different from host tools even though
routing, registration, and execution need the same abstraction.
This PR makes the shared executor contract directly async and lets
extension tools implement it too, so host tools and extension tools can
move through the same registration path.
## What changed
- Changed `ToolExecutor::handle` to an `async fn` using `async-trait`,
and updated built-in tool handlers to implement the async trait
directly.
- Replaced the bespoke `ExtensionToolFuture` contract with a marker
`ExtensionToolExecutor` over `ToolExecutor<ToolCall, Output =
JsonToolOutput>`, re-exporting `ToolExecutor` from
`codex-extension-api`.
- Updated the memories extension tools to implement the shared executor
trait.
- Split tool-router construction into collected executors plus hosted
model specs, keeping hosted tools like web search and image generation
separate from executable handlers.
- Updated spec/router tests and extension-tool stubs for the new
executor shape.
## Verification
- Not run locally.
## Why
This is a follow-up to #22573. This problem was surfaced in a code
review comment that I missed before merging the previous PR.
Fresh-session startup could prepare a model-availability NUX before
`app_server.start_thread(&config)` completed. If thread startup then
failed, the TUI never rendered the tooltip, but
`prepare_startup_tooltip_override(...)` had already persisted one of the
limited impressions.
## What Changed
- Move startup tooltip preparation inside the fresh-thread startup
branch, after `start_thread(...)` succeeds.
- Keep resume/fork paths unchanged.
- Remove the now-redundant
`should_prepare_startup_tooltip_override(...)` helper and its gate test.
## Summary
- Allow remote installed-plugin cache refresh to start whenever plugins
are enabled.
- Allow remote installed-plugin bundle sync to start whenever plugins
are enabled.
- Remove the extra local `remote_plugin_enabled` guard from those
background sync paths.
## Context
Server-side installed plugin state and optional bundle URL behavior are
owned by plugin-service `/public/plugins/installed`, so these local sync
paths only need the overall plugin enablement gate.
## Test plan
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core-plugins`
## Why
The TUI startup test surface had drifted into expensive, brittle
coverage:
- `tui/tests/suite/no_panic_on_startup.rs` was already ignored as flaky
while still spawning a PTY to exercise malformed exec-policy rules.
- `tui/tests/suite/model_availability_nux.rs` used a seeded session,
cursor-query spoofing, and repeated interrupts to verify a narrow
resume-path invariant.
- `app/tests.rs` had started accumulating unrelated startup and summary
coverage in one flat module even after the surrounding app code was
split into feature modules.
This keeps those behaviors covered while making the tests cheaper to
understand and less likely to rot. It also preserves the malformed-rules
regression from #8803 without requiring a terminal orchestration test.
## What changed
- Replaced the malformed `rules` startup PTY case with a direct
exec-policy loader regression:
[`rules_path_file_returns_read_dir_error`](21b6b5622f/codex-rs/core/src/exec_policy_tests.rs (L264-L284))
- Made the existing fresh-session-only startup tooltip behavior explicit
with
[`should_prepare_startup_tooltip_override`](21b6b5622f/codex-rs/tui/src/app/thread_routing.rs (L1272-L1279)),
then added focused coverage for the resume/fork gate and the persisted
NUX counter.
- Split startup and session-summary coverage out of
`tui/src/app/tests.rs` into dedicated modules so the test layout better
mirrors the current app architecture.
- Converted one single-message goal validation snapshot into semantic
assertions where layout was not the behavior under test.
- Removed the two PTY-heavy suite files that the narrower tests now
supersede.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core rules_path_file_returns_read_dir_error`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui startup_`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui session_summary_`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
goal_slash_command_rejects_oversized_objective`
## Why
reapplies https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22386 which was
previously reverted
Also, introduce `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable`
app-server APIs to toggle on/off remote control at runtime for a given
running app-server instance.
## What Changed
- Adds experimental v2 RPCs:
- `remoteControl/enable`
- `remoteControl/disable`
- Adds `RemoteControlRequestProcessor` and routes the new RPCs through
it instead of `ConfigRequestProcessor`.
- Adds named `RemoteControlHandle::enable`, `disable`, and `status`
methods.
- Makes `remoteControl/enable` return an error when sqlite state DB is
unavailable, while keeping enrollment/websocket failures as async status
updates.
- Adds `AppServerRuntimeOptions.remote_control_enabled` and hidden
`--remote-control` flags for `codex app-server` and `codex-app-server`.
- Updates managed daemon startup to use `codex app-server
--remote-control --listen unix://`.
- Marks `Feature::RemoteControl` as removed and ignores
`[features].remote_control`.
- Updates app-server README entries for the new remote-control methods.
## Why
`codex remote-control` manages the app-server daemon with
`remote_control` enabled, but it previously only exposed an implicit
start path. Once started, there was no obvious top-level
`remote-control` command for stopping the daemon; users had to know
about the lower-level `codex app-server daemon stop` command.
The startup failure for missing managed installs was also ambiguous.
`codex remote-control` and daemon bootstrap require the standalone Codex
install under `CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/current/codex`, but the
old error only said to install Codex first, which is unclear when
another `codex` binary is already on PATH. Now we add an explicit
instruction for how to get the standalone Codex install.
## What changed
- Converts `codex remote-control` into a command group while preserving
bare `codex remote-control` as the existing start behavior.
- Adds `codex remote-control start` as the explicit start path.
- Adds `codex remote-control stop`, which maps to app-server daemon
stop.
- Updates the shared daemon managed-install error to name the missing
standalone path, explain why that install is required, provide the
installer command, and tell users to rerun the command they just tried.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-daemon`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `./target/debug/codex remote-control --help`
## Summary
Get rid of the `experimental_use_freeform_apply_patch` config option,
since it is now encoded in model config. No deprecation message since it
has been experimental this entire time.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests

All apps must be able to open the db to proceed -- codex is having
issues with manufacturing new installation ids in local mode when the db
can't be opened for race conditions or any other reasons.
Remove unnecessary prefix filtering from codex
## Test Plan
Test local cli build + make sure backend returns appropriate apps
```
cd ~/code/codex/codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex
./target/debug/codex
```
Appropriate apps show up in my list
## Summary
- Upload unsigned macOS release binaries before signing so they remain
available from the workflow run if signing fails
- Add a manual `workflow_dispatch` option, `sign_macos`, defaulting to
`true`
- When `sign_macos=false`, skip macOS signing, signed-name macOS
artifacts, DMGs, npm/DotSlash/PyPI publishing, latest release marking,
and `latest-alpha-cli` updates
## Process
HAVE NOT TESTED YET BUT we should be able to run
```
gh workflow run rust-release.yml \
-R openai/codex \
--ref rust-v0.132.0 \
-f sign_macos=false
```
which will then start the rust-release script with `sign_macos` and
therefore do not codesign mac and also no release afterward.
## Why
`chatwidget.rs` is still carrying too many unrelated responsibilities in
one file. #22269 started a five-phase cleanup to move coherent behavior
domains into focused modules while keeping `chatwidget.rs` as the
composition layer. #22407 completed phase 2 by extracting input and
submission flow, #22433 completed phase 3 by extracting protocol,
replay, streaming, and tool lifecycle handling, and #22518 completed
phase 4 by extracting settings, popups, and status surfaces.
This PR is phase 5. It cleans up the remaining constructor and
orchestration code now that the larger behavior domains have moved out,
leaving `chatwidget.rs` much closer to the composition layer the cleanup
was aiming for. This is once again a mechanical movement of existing
functions. No functional changes.
## What Changed
- Added focused modules for widget construction and initial wiring,
session configuration flow, key/composer interaction routing, review
popup orchestration, desktop notification coalescing, and render
composition.
- Moved the remaining constructor, session setup, interaction,
notification, review picker, and rendering helpers out of
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`.
- Preserved the existing startup/session behavior, keyboard handling,
review picker flow, notification priority behavior, and render
composition while shrinking the central widget module substantially.
- Left `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs` as the registration and
composition surface for the extracted behavior modules.
## Cleanup Phases
The five-phase cleanup plan from #22269 is:
1. Phase 1: mechanical helper and state moves. Completed in #22269.
2. Phase 2: extract input and submission flow, including queued user
messages, shell prompt submission, pending steer restoration, and thread
input snapshot/restore behavior. Completed in #22407.
3. Phase 3: extract protocol, replay, streaming, and tool lifecycle
handling, while preserving active-cell grouping, transcript
invalidation, interrupt deferral, and final-message separator behavior.
Completed in #22433.
4. Phase 4: extract settings, popups, and status surfaces, including
model/reasoning/collaboration/personality popups, permission prompts,
rate-limit UI, and connectors helpers. Completed in #22518.
5. Phase 5: clean up the remaining constructor and orchestration code
once the larger behavior domains have moved out, leaving `chatwidget.rs`
as the composition layer. This PR.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui chatwidget::tests::popups_and_settings`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui chatwidget::tests::plan_mode`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui chatwidget::tests::review_mode`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui chatwidget::tests::status_and_layout`
`cargo test -p codex-tui` also compiles and begins running, but aborts
in the unchanged app-side test
`app::tests::discard_side_thread_keeps_local_state_when_server_close_fails`
with the same reproducible stack overflow noted in phase 4.
## Summary
`/collab` was intentionally removed in
[#12012](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12012), but the
TUI/app-server migration accidentally brought that slash-command path
back. This restores the earlier product decision so the TUI no longer
advertises or dispatches `/collab`. This command was redundant because
it did the same thing as `/plan` but in a less-intuitive way.
## What Changed
- Remove `SlashCommand::Collab` from the TUI slash-command surface.
- Delete the picker and app-event plumbing that only existed to service
`/collab`.
- Remove obsolete TUI test coverage for the deleted picker flow.
# Why
`PreToolUse.additionalContext` became model-visible after #20692, but
the hook-output spilling path from #21069 never picked up that newer
lane. As a result, oversized `PreToolUse` context could bypass the
truncation/spill treatment that already applies to the other hook
outputs Codex forwards to the model.
# What
- Run `PreToolUseOutcome.additional_contexts` through
`maybe_spill_texts(...)`
- Add an integration test proving a large `PreToolUse.additionalContext`
is replaced with a truncated preview plus spill-file pointer, while the
full text is preserved on disk.
## Why
`multi_agent_v2` already allowed configuring the minimum `wait_agent`
timeout, but the default timeout and upper bound were still hard-coded.
That made it hard to tune waits for subagent mailbox activity in
sessions that need either faster wakeups or longer waits, and it meant
the model-visible `wait_agent` schema could not fully reflect the
resolved runtime limits.
## What Changed
- Added `features.multi_agent_v2.max_wait_timeout_ms` and
`features.multi_agent_v2.default_wait_timeout_ms` alongside the existing
`min_wait_timeout_ms` setting.
- Validated all three timeouts in config as `0..=3_600_000`, with
`min_wait_timeout_ms <= default_wait_timeout_ms <= max_wait_timeout_ms`.
- Thread and review session tool config now passes the resolved
min/default/max values into the `wait_agent` tool schema.
- `wait_agent` now uses the configured default when `timeout_ms` is
omitted and rejects explicit values outside the configured min/max range
instead of silently clamping them.
- Updated the generated config schema and config-lock test coverage for
the new fields.
## Why
On Windows, elevated sandboxed commands run under a dedicated sandbox
account while `HOME` / `USERPROFILE` can still point at the real user's
profile directory. For PowerShell login shells, that combination can
make the sandbox account try to load the real user's PowerShell profile
script. If the sandbox account's execution policy differs from the real
user's policy, startup can emit profile-loading errors before the
requested command runs.
For this backend, loading the profile is not a faithful user login
shell: it is cross-account profile execution. Treating these PowerShell
invocations as non-login shells avoids that invalid startup path.
## Why This Happens Late
The normal `login` decision is resolved when shell argv is created, but
that point is too early to make this Windows sandbox-specific decision.
At argv creation time we do not yet know the actual sandbox attempt that
will run the command. A turn can include sandboxed and unsandboxed
attempts, and a broad turn-level override would also affect Full Access
commands where the user's profile should remain available.
Instead, this change carries the selected `ShellType` alongside the argv
and applies the `-NoProfile` adjustment in the shell runtimes once the
`SandboxAttempt` is known. That keeps the override scoped to actual
`WindowsRestrictedToken` attempts with `WindowsSandboxLevel::Elevated`.
The runtime uses the selected shell metadata rather than re-detecting
PowerShell from argv. That avoids brittle parsing and covers PowerShell
invocation shapes such as `-EncodedCommand`.
## What Changed
- Carry selected shell metadata through `exec_command` / unified exec
requests and shell tool requests.
- Insert `-NoProfile` for PowerShell commands only when the runtime is
about to execute a sandboxed elevated Windows attempt.
- Add focused unit coverage for elevated Windows PowerShell,
`-EncodedCommand`, existing `-NoProfile`, legacy restricted-token
attempts, unsandboxed attempts, and non-PowerShell commands.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core disable_powershell_profile_tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core test_get_command`
- `cargo clippy --fix --tests --allow-dirty --allow-no-vcs -p
codex-core`
A full `cargo test -p codex-core` run was also attempted during
development, but it still hit an unrelated stack overflow in
`agent::control` tests before reaching this area.
## Why
Users and support need a single command that captures the local Codex
runtime, configuration, auth, terminal, network, and state shape without
asking the user to know which diagnostic depth to choose first. `codex
doctor` now runs the useful checks by default and makes the detailed
human output the default because the command is usually run when someone
already needs context.
The command also targets concrete support failure modes we have seen
while iterating on the design:
- update-target mismatches like #21956, where the installed package
manager target can differ from the running executable
- terminal and multiplexer issues that depend on `TERM`, tmux/zellij
state, color handling, and TTY metadata
- provider-specific HTTP/WebSocket connectivity, including ChatGPT
WebSocket handshakes and API-key/provider endpoint reachability
- local state/log SQLite integrity problems and large rollout
directories
- feedback reports that need an attached, redacted diagnostic snapshot
without asking the user to run a second command
## What Changed
- Adds `codex doctor` as a grouped CLI diagnostic report with default
detailed output and `--summary` for the compact view.
- Adds stable report sections for Environment, Configuration, Updates,
Connectivity, and Background Server, plus a top Notes block that
promotes anomalies such as available updates, large rollout directories,
optional MCP issues, and mixed auth signals.
- Adds runtime provenance, install consistency, bundled/system search
readiness, terminal/multiplexer metadata, `config.toml` parse status,
auth mode details, sandbox details, feature flag summaries, update
cache/latest-version state, app-server daemon state, SQLite integrity
checks, rollout statistics, and provider-aware network diagnostics.
- Adds ChatGPT WebSocket diagnostics that report the negotiated HTTP
upgrade as `HTTP 101 Switching Protocols` and include timeout, DNS,
auth, and provider context in detailed output.
- Makes reachability provider-aware: API-key OpenAI setups check the API
endpoint, ChatGPT auth checks the ChatGPT path, and custom/AWS/local
providers check configured HTTP endpoints when available.
- Adds structured, redacted JSON output where `checks` is keyed by check
id and `details` is a key/value object for support tooling.
- Integrates doctor with feedback uploads by attaching a best-effort
`codex-doctor-report.json` report and adding derived Sentry tags for
overall status and failing/warning checks.
- Updates the TUI feedback consent copy so users can see that the doctor
report is included when logs/diagnostics are uploaded.
- Updates the CLI bug issue template to ask reporters for `codex doctor
--json` and render pasted reports as JSON.
## Example Output
The examples below are sanitized from local smoke runs with `--no-color`
so the structure is reviewable in plain text.

## How to Test
1. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --no-color`.
2. Confirm the detailed report is the default and includes promoted
Notes, grouped sections, terminal details, state DB integrity, rollout
stats, provider reachability, WebSocket diagnostics, and app-server
status.
3. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --summary --no-color`.
4. Confirm the compact view keeps the same sections and summary counts
but omits detailed key/value rows.
5. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --json`.
6. Confirm the output is redacted JSON, `checks` is an object keyed by
check id, and each check's `details` is a key/value object.
7. Preview the CLI bug issue template and confirm the `Codex doctor
report` field appears after the terminal field, asks for `codex doctor
--json`, and renders pasted output as JSON.
8. Start a feedback flow that includes logs.
9. Confirm the upload consent copy lists `codex-doctor-report.json`
alongside the log attachments.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-cli doctor`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
doctor_report_tags_summarize_status_counts`
- `cargo test -p codex-feedback`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui feedback_view`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `git diff --check`
Fixes#20587, reported by @noeljackson.
This prevents the TUI wrapping code from panicking when `textwrap`
returns a borrowed slice that does not point into the original source
text. The fix follows the direction proposed by @misrtjakub in the issue
comment: validate the borrowed slice pointer range first, and fall back
to the existing owned-line mapper when the slice is external.
- Guards borrowed wrapped slices before converting pointer offsets into
byte ranges.
- Reuses the existing owned-line range recovery path for external
borrowed slices.
- Adds coverage for rejecting borrowed slices outside the source text.
End-user testing steps:
- Start Codex in TUI mode under a PTY wrapper that can inject stdin
after startup.
- Inject `\x1b[200~test message\x1b[201~\r` after the TUI is ready.
- Confirm Codex does not panic and the pasted text is handled normally.
Local validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-tui wrapping::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui -- --skip
status::tests::status_permissions_full_disk_managed_with_network_is_danger_full_access
--skip
status::tests::status_permissions_full_disk_managed_without_network_is_external_sandbox`
This switches TUI plugin mentions to use app-server `plugin/list` for
plugin inventory and metadata instead of `PluginManager`, while keeping
the same mention-eligibility filters as before.
Same filters as before:
- Only plugins in the current config / cwd scope.
- Only installed and enabled plugins.
- Only plugins that actually expose a capability, meaning at least one
skill, MCP server, or app connector.
- Uses `plugin/list` for the mention names/descriptions
# Why
Plugin-bundled hooks are already wired through the plugin manager,
session setup, and app-server hook listing paths. Keeping `plugin_hooks`
disabled by default means users still need an explicit feature opt-in
before that existing behavior participates in normal plugin loading.
# What
- mark `plugin_hooks` as stable and enable it by default
- add feature-registry test coverage for the new default/stage pairing
Validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-features`
- `just fmt`
## Summary
- Add a deterministic callback-id path segment to local MCP OAuth
redirect URIs before starting authorization.
- Derive the callback id from the normalized MCP server URL and encode
it as a 12-character URL-safe hash.
- Reuse the existing exact callback-path validation so OAuth completion
only succeeds on the callback path that was sent in the redirect URI.
## Context
Slack thread:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C087WB3AGCR/p1777480566571699
That thread calls out the OAuth mix-up class of issue for MCP servers.
The connector/App Connect flow already has a callback_id concept that
binds the OAuth callback URL to the MCP app/server identity. Codex
desktop's local MCP OAuth flow was still using a generic local callback
path like `/callback`, so this PR adds the same shape to the shared
local MCP OAuth helper.
## Behavior
Before this change, local MCP OAuth used:
- default local callback URL: `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback`
- configured callback URL: `<configured callback URL>` unchanged
After this change, Codex appends a deterministic callback-id segment:
- default local callback URL:
`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback/<callback_id>`
- configured callback URL: `<configured callback path>/<callback_id>`
The local callback server already compares the incoming request path
against the path from the redirect URI. By appending the callback id
before both authorization and callback validation, callbacks that arrive
on the old generic path or a mismatched callback-id path are rejected.
The callback id is bound to the MCP endpoint URL, including path and
query, so path-based multi-tenant MCP deployments on the same origin do
not share a callback path. URL fragments are ignored because they are
not sent to the server.
The change lives in `codex-rmcp-client`, so it covers both the normal
desktop MCP OAuth login path and silent/plugin-triggered MCP OAuth login
paths that use the same `perform_oauth_login_*` helpers.
## Scope and non-goals
- This does not change the app-server protocol or desktop webview
request shape.
- This does not implement RFC 9207 `iss` validation; issuer validation
is still useful when providers return `iss`.
- This does not make arbitrary untrusted MCP servers safe to use. It
specifically adds callback URL binding for the local MCP OAuth flow.
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client perform_oauth_login`
## Why
`TurnContext::cwd` is deprecated in favor of resolving paths from the
selected turn environment cwd. A few filesystem-oriented paths were
still constructing sandbox context from the legacy cwd and then mutating
it afterward, or resolving local file paths through the deprecated
helper.
## What changed
- Make `TurnContext::file_system_sandbox_context` take the trusted cwd
explicitly.
- Pass the selected turn environment cwd directly from `apply_patch` and
`view_image` call sites.
- Restrict `spawn_agents_on_csv` to exactly one local environment and
resolve input/output CSV paths from that local environment cwd.
- Remove a redundant test setup assignment that only synchronized
deprecated `TurnContext::cwd` with a replaced config.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core view_image`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
maybe_persist_mcp_tool_approval_writes_project_config_for_project_server`
- `cargo test -p codex-core parse_csv_supports_quotes_and_commas`
- `git diff --check`
