Merge branch 'main' into patch-guard

1. If Codex detects that a `codex mcp add -url …` server supports oauth,
it will auto-initiate the login flow.
2. If the TUI starts and a MCP server supports oauth but isn't logged
in, it will give the user an explicit warning telling them to log in.

+You are an assistant that triages new GitHub issues by identifying potential duplicates.
+
+You will receive the following JSON files located in the current working directory:
+- `codex-current-issue.json`: JSON object describing the newly created issue (fields: number, title, body).
+- `codex-existing-issues.json`: JSON array of recent issues (each element includes number, title, body, createdAt).
+
+Instructions:
+- Load both files as JSON and review their contents carefully. The codex-existing-issues.json file is large, ensure you explore all of it.
+- Compare the current issue against the existing issues to find up to five that appear to describe the same underlying problem or request.
+- Only consider an issue a potential duplicate if there is a clear overlap in symptoms, feature requests, reproduction steps, or error messages.
+- Prioritize newer issues when similarity is comparable.
+- Ignore pull requests and issues whose similarity is tenuous.
+- When unsure, prefer returning fewer matches.
+
+Output requirements:
+- Respond with a JSON array of issue numbers (integers), ordered from most likely duplicate to least.
+- Include at most five numbers.
+- If you find no plausible duplicates, respond with `[]`.

 - Never add or modify any code related to `CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED_ENV_VAR` or `CODEX_SANDBOX_ENV_VAR`.
   - You operate in a sandbox where `CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED=1` will be set whenever you use the `shell` tool. Any existing code that uses `CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED_ENV_VAR` was authored with this fact in mind. It is often used to early exit out of tests that the author knew you would not be able to run given your sandbox limitations.
   - Similarly, when you spawn a process using Seatbelt (`/usr/bin/sandbox-exec`), `CODEX_SANDBOX=seatbelt` will be set on the child process. Integration tests that want to run Seatbelt themselves cannot be run under Seatbelt, so checks for `CODEX_SANDBOX=seatbelt` are also often used to early exit out of tests, as appropriate.

 Run `just fmt` (in `codex-rs` directory) automatically after making Rust code changes; do not ask for approval to run it. Before finalizing a change to `codex-rs`, run `just fix -p <project>` (in `codex-rs` directory) to fix any linter issues in the code. Prefer scoping with `-p` to avoid slow workspace‑wide Clippy builds; only run `just fix` without `-p` if you changed shared crates. Additionally, run the tests:
+
 1. Run the test for the specific project that was changed. For example, if changes were made in `codex-rs/tui`, run `cargo test -p codex-tui`.
 2. Once those pass, if any changes were made in common, core, or protocol, run the complete test suite with `cargo test --all-features`.
-When running interactively, ask the user before running `just fix` to finalize. `just fmt` does not require approval. project-specific or individual tests can be run without asking the user, but do ask the user before running the complete test suite.

+- Prefer the utilities in `core_test_support::responses` when writing end-to-end Codex tests.

+- Use `ResponseMock::single_request()` when a test should only issue one POST, or `ResponseMock::requests()` to inspect every captured `ResponsesRequest`.
+- `ResponsesRequest` exposes helpers (`body_json`, `input`, `function_call_output`, `custom_tool_call_output`, `call_output`, `header`, `path`, `query_param`) so assertions can target structured payloads instead of manual JSON digging.

 # npm releases
 
-Run the following:
-
-To build the 0.2.x or later version of the npm module, which runs the Rust version of the CLI, build it as follows:
+Use the staging helper in the repo root to generate npm tarballs for a release. For
+example, to stage the CLI, responses proxy, and SDK packages for version `0.6.0`:
 
 ```bash
-./codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py --release-version 0.6.0
+./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py \
+  --release-version 0.6.0 \
+  --package codex \
+  --package codex-responses-api-proxy \
+  --package codex-sdk
 ```
 
-Note this will create `./codex-cli/vendor/` as a side-effect.
+This downloads the native artifacts once, hydrates `vendor/` for each package, and writes
+tarballs to `dist/npm/`.
+
+If you need to invoke `build_npm_package.py` directly, run
+`codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py` first and pass `--vendor-src` pointing to the
+directory that contains the populated `vendor/` tree.

+# codex-app-server
+
+`codex app-server` is the harness Codex uses to power rich interfaces such as the [Codex VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=openai.chatgpt). The message schema is currently unstable, but those who wish to build experimental UIs on top of Codex may find it valuable.
+
+## Protocol
+
+Similar to [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), `codex app-server` supports bidirectional communication, streaming JSONL over stdio. The protocol is JSON-RPC 2.0, though the `"jsonrpc":"2.0"` header is omitted.
+
+## Message Schema
+
+Currently, you can dump a TypeScript version of the schema using `codex generate-ts`. It is specific to the version of Codex you used to run `generate-ts`, so the two are guaranteed to be compatible.
+
+```
+codex generate-ts --out DIR
+```

 - The arguments to `shell` will be passed to execvp(). Most terminal commands should be prefixed with ["bash", "-lc"].
 - Always set the `workdir` param when using the shell function. Do not use `cd` unless absolutely necessary.
 - When searching for text or files, prefer using `rg` or `rg --files` respectively because `rg` is much faster than alternatives like `grep`. (If the `rg` command is not found, then use alternatives.)
-- When editing or creating files, you MUST use apply_patch as a standalone tool without going through ["bash", "-lc"], `Python`, `cat`, `sed`, ... Example: functions.shell({"command":["apply_patch","*** Begin Patch\nAdd File: hello.txt\n+Hello, world!\n*** End Patch"]}).
 
 ## Editing constraints
 
 - Default to ASCII when editing or creating files. Only introduce non-ASCII or other Unicode characters when there is a clear justification and the file already uses them.
 - Add succinct code comments that explain what is going on if code is not self-explanatory. You should not add comments like "Assigns the value to the variable", but a brief comment might be useful ahead of a complex code block that the user would otherwise have to spend time parsing out. Usage of these comments should be rare.
+- Try to use apply_patch for single file edits, but it is fine to explore other options to make the edit if it does not work well. Do not use apply_patch for changes that are auto-generated (i.e. generating package.json or running a lint or format command like gofmt) or when scripting is more efficient (such as search and replacing a string across a codebase).
 - You may be in a dirty git worktree.
     * NEVER revert existing changes you did not make unless explicitly requested, since these changes were made by the user.
     * If asked to make a commit or code edits and there are unrelated changes to your work or changes that you didn't make in those files, don't revert those changes.
     * If the changes are in files you've touched recently, you should read carefully and understand how you can work with the changes rather than reverting them.
     * If the changes are in unrelated files, just ignore them and don't revert them.
 - While you are working, you might notice unexpected changes that you didn't make. If this happens, STOP IMMEDIATELY and ask the user how they would like to proceed.
+- **NEVER** use destructive commands like `git reset --hard` or `git checkout --` unless specifically requested or approved by the user.
