baumann-oai 1ce722ed2e plan mode: add TL;DR checkpoint and client behavior note (#10195)
## Summary
- Tightens Plan Mode to encourage exploration-first behavior and more
back-and-forth alignment.
- Adds a required TL;DR checkpoint before drafting the full plan.
- Clarifies client behavior that can cause premature “Implement this
plan?” prompts.

## What changed
- Require at least one targeted non-mutating exploration pass before the
first user question.
- Insert a TL;DR checkpoint between Phase 2 (intent) and Phase 3
(implementation).
- TL;DR checkpoint guidance:
  - Label: “Proposed Plan (TL;DR)”
  - Format: 3–5 bullets using `- `
  - Options: exactly one option, “Approve”
- `isOther: true`, with explicit guidance that “None of the above” is
the edit path in the current UI.
- Require the final plan to include a TL;DR consistent with the approved
checkpoint.

## Why
- In Plan Mode, any normal assistant message at turn completion is
treated as plan content by the client. This can trigger premature
“Implement this plan?” prompts.
- The TL;DR checkpoint aligns on direction before Codex drafts a long,
decision-complete plan.

## Testing
- Manual: built the local CLI and verified the flow now explores first,
presents a TL;DR checkpoint, and only drafts the full plan after
approval.

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
