acrognale-oai 4f8c58f737 Support multiple cwd filters for thread list (#18502)
## Summary

- Teach app-server `thread/list` to accept either a single `cwd` or an
array of cwd filters, returning threads whose recorded session cwd
matches any requested path
- Add `useStateDbOnly` as an explicit opt-in fast path for callers that
want to answer `thread/list` from SQLite without scanning JSONL rollout
files
- Preserve backwards compatibility: by default, `thread/list` still
scans JSONL rollouts and repairs SQLite state
- Wire the new cwd array and SQLite-only options through app-server,
local/remote thread-store, rollout listing, generated TypeScript/schema
fixtures, proto output, and docs

## Test Plan

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-rollout`
- `cargo test -p codex-thread-store`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_list`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-rollout -p
codex-thread-store -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`

codex-debug-client

A tiny interactive client for codex app-server (protocol v2 only). It prints all JSON-RPC lines from the server and lets you send new turns as you type.

Usage

Start the app-server client (it will spawn codex app-server itself):

cargo run -p codex-debug-client -- \
  --codex-bin codex \
  --approval-policy on-request \
  --output-file /tmp/app-server-server-json.jsonl

You can resume a specific thread:

cargo run -p codex-debug-client -- --thread-id thr_123

CLI flags

  • --codex-bin <path>: path to the codex binary (default: codex).
  • -c, --config key=value: pass through --config overrides to codex.
  • --thread-id <id>: resume a thread instead of starting a new one.
  • --approval-policy <policy>: untrusted, on-failure (deprecated), on-request, never.
  • --auto-approve: auto-approve command/file-change approvals (default: decline).
  • --final-only: only show completed assistant messages and tool items.
  • --output-file <path>: write raw server JSONL to this file instead of stdout.
  • --model <name>: optional model override for thread start/resume.
  • --model-provider <name>: optional provider override.
  • --cwd <path>: optional working directory override.

Interactive commands

Type a line to send it as a new turn. Commands are prefixed with ::

  • :help show help
  • :new start a new thread
  • :resume <thread-id> resume a thread
  • :use <thread-id> switch active thread without resuming
  • :refresh-thread list available threads
  • :quit exit

The prompt shows the active thread id. Client messages (help, errors, approvals) print to stderr; raw server JSON prints to stdout so you can pipe/record it unless --final-only is set. Pass --output-file <path> to record raw server JSONL to a file instead of stdout.

Notes

  • The client performs the required initialize/initialized handshake.
  • It prints every server notification and response line as it arrives.
  • Approvals for item/commandExecution/requestApproval and item/fileChange/requestApproval are auto-responded to with decline unless --auto-approve is set.
