Curtis 'Fjord' Hawthorne 491b4946ae Stop filtering model tools in js_repl_tools_only mode (#12069)
## Summary
This change removes tool-list filtering in `js_repl_tools_only` mode and
relies on the normal model tool descriptions, while still enforcing that
tool execution must go through `js_repl` + `codex.tool(...)`.

## Motivation
The previous `js_repl_tools_only` filtering hid most tools from the
model request, which diverged from standard tool-list behavior and made
signatures less discoverable. I tested that this filtering is not
needed, and the model can follow the prompt to only call tools via
`js_repl`.

## What Changed
- `filter_tools_for_model(...)` in `core/src/tools/spec.rs` is now a
pass-through (no filtering when `js_repl_tools_only` is enabled).
- Updated tests to assert that model tools are not filtered in
`js_repl_tools_only` mode.
- Updated dynamic-tool test to assert dynamic tools remain visible in
model tool specs.
- Removed obsolete test helper used only by the old filtering
assertions.

## Safety / Behavior
- This commit does **not** relax execution policy.
- Direct model tool calls remain blocked in `js_repl_tools_only` mode
(except internal `js_repl` tools), and callers are instructed to use
`js_repl` + `codex.tool(...)`.

## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core js_repl_tools_only`
- Manual rollout validation showed the model can follow the `js_repl`
routing instructions without needing filtered tool lists.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
