Termux release train

This PR is intentionally created from wallentx/termux-target with the Termux release automation files copied from dev, then targeted at the upstream release branch. If GitHub reports conflicts, resolve them manually by keeping the upstream release code while preserving the Termux compatibility fixes.

Auto-merge is enabled when GitHub reports the PR as mergeable. Required CI, including the Termux artifact smoke test, is the approval gate. After merge, the deployment workflow attaches the tested artifact to rust-v0.142.0-termux and opens the checkpoint PR.

checkpoint: into wallentx/termux-target from release/0.133.0 @ cf55321
- Goals are now enabled by default, backed by dedicated storage, and track progress across active turns. (openai#23300, openai#23685, openai#23696, openai#23732)
- `codex remote-control` now runs like a foreground command, waits for readiness, reports machine status, and keeps explicit daemon-style `start`/`stop` commands. (openai#22878)
- Permission profiles gained list APIs, inheritance, managed `requirements.toml` support, runtime refresh behavior, and stronger Windows sandbox integration. (openai#22928, openai#23412, openai#22270, openai#23433, openai#22931, openai#23715)
- Plugin discovery is easier to inspect, with marketplace-aware list output, installed versions, visible marketplace roots, and remote collection support. (openai#23372, openai#23584, openai#23727, openai#23730)
- Extensions can observe more lifecycle events, including subagent start/stop, tool execution, turn metadata, and async approval/turn processing. (openai#22782, openai#22873, openai#23309, openai#23688, openai#23690, openai#23692)

## Bug Fixes
- Fixed TUI startup choosing the wrong working directory when reusing a local app-server socket. (openai#23538)
- Fixed plan-mode free-form answers so modified Enter keys, like Shift+Enter, no longer submit unexpectedly. (openai#23536)
- Removed stale background terminal poll events after a process exits. (openai#23231)
- Preserved raw code-mode exec output unless an explicit output token limit is requested. (openai#23564)
- Made AGENTS instruction loading more reliable, including local global reads and warnings for invalid UTF-8 instead of silent drops. (openai#23343, openai#23232)
- Fixed app-server startup/shutdown races, empty resume/fork paths, plugin upgrade failures, and realtime v1 websocket compatibility. (openai#23516, openai#23578, openai#23400, openai#23356, openai#23771)

## Documentation
- Added clearer plugin-creator guidance for updating and reinstalling local personal plugins. (openai#23542)
- Expanded app-server/API docs and schema coverage around managed permission profile requirements. (openai#23433, openai#23555)

## Chores
- Added a canonical Codex package archive pipeline and moved installers, npm packages, DotSlash, and SDK runtimes toward that shared layout. (openai#23513, openai#23582, openai#23586, openai#23596, openai#23635, openai#23636, openai#23637, openai#23638, openai#23786)
- Fixed Linux Python runtime wheel tags so glibc-based systems can install the runtime artifacts. (openai#21812)
- Improved release and CI reliability with package-builder tests, prebuilt resource packaging, DotSlash zstd handling, platform-sharded Rust tests, and Codex Linux release runners. (openai#23760, openai#23759, openai#23752, openai#23358, openai#23761)

- Added search across local conversation history, including case-insensitive content matches with result previews. (openai#23519, openai#23921)
- Made `--profile` the primary profile selector across CLI, TUI permissions, and sandbox flows, with legacy profile configs rejected through migration guidance. (openai#23708, openai#23883, openai#23890, openai#24051, openai#24055, openai#24059, openai#24067, openai#24110)
- Improved MCP setup with per-server environment targeting and OAuth options for streamable HTTP servers. (openai#23583, openai#24120)
- Made connector tool schemas more reliable by preserving local `$ref`/`$defs` structures and compacting oversized schemas before exposure. (openai#23357, openai#23904)
- Let read-only MCP tools run concurrently when they advertise `readOnlyHint`. (openai#23750)
- Added richer extension and hook context, including conversation history for extension tools and subagent identity in hook inputs. (openai#22882, openai#23963)

## Bug Fixes
- Improved remote reliability by reconnecting stale exec-server websocket clients, retrying remote control immediately after auth recovery, and retrying remote compaction v2 streams. (openai#23867, openai#23775, openai#23951)
- Fixed Windows TUI rendering corruption by restoring virtual terminal mode before drawing. (openai#24082)
- Displayed workspace-specific usage-limit messages for credit and spend-cap failures. (openai#24114)
- Allowed plugin skills to reuse shared plugin-level icon assets. (openai#23776)
- Preserved active permission profile metadata when syncing auto-review runtime settings. (openai#23956)
- Ensured Node-based tools honor Codex’s managed network proxy environment. (openai#23905)

## Documentation
- Documented the curl and PowerShell installer paths in the README. (openai#24106)
- Updated developer docs to prefer `just test` over direct `cargo test` for repo-local test runs. (openai#23910)
- Added profile migration documentation links to relevant config errors. (openai#23879)

## Chores
- Simplified release packaging around canonical native artifacts, reusable DotSlash fetching, and a new macOS x64 zsh artifact. (openai#23833, openai#23836, openai#24129, openai#24165)
- Added release-build support for Codex-produced V8 artifacts. (openai#23934)
- Added image re-encoding benchmarks and connector-style JSON schema policy fixtures. (openai#23935, openai#24152)
- Improved tracing and analytics for websocket requests, turn starts, and remote compaction v2. (openai#23581, openai#23980, openai#24146)

#242)

* ## New Features

- Remote executors now use authenticated, end-to-end encrypted Noise relay channels. (openai#26242, openai#26245)
- Cross-platform remote execution now preserves executor-native working directories and shells, including filesystem permission paths across app-server and exec-server boundaries. (openai#27819, openai#27995, openai#28032, openai#28122, openai#28165, openai#28367)
- Selected executor plugins can activate their stdio MCP servers per thread; plugin discovery also adds a created-by-me marketplace and auth-specific curated catalogs. (openai#27870, openai#27884, openai#27893, openai#28203, openai#28383)
- App-server clients can list immediate child threads, correlate external-agent imports with detailed results, and read or redeem rate-limit reset credits. (openai#26662, openai#28008, openai#28143)
- Realtime clients can explicitly append speech, control how Codex responses enter conversations, and omit startup context. (openai#27917, openai#28405)
- TUI input prompts can auto-resolve after inactivity, with a countdown that pauses on interaction. (openai#28235)

## Bug Fixes

- Hook trust bypass now persists through `codex exec` thread start and resume, while blocking `PostToolUse` hooks correctly reject code-mode tool calls. (openai#26434, openai#28365)
- Plugin capabilities now route consistently by authentication mode, deduplicate conflicting App/MCP declarations, and preserve remote marketplace ordering. (openai#27461, openai#27602, openai#27607, openai#27902, openai#27958, openai#28395)
- Windows sandbox execution repairs stale credentials automatically and gives PowerShell commands more time before backgrounding. (openai#27086, openai#27944)
- Idle exec-server relays remain connected, and steered user input immediately interrupts `wait_agent`. (openai#28286, openai#28341)
- Bundled SQLite is pinned to a version containing the WAL-reset corruption fix. (openai#27992)
- TLS connections now support P-521 certificate signatures commonly used by enterprise proxies. (openai#27706)

## Chores

#244)

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (openai#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

## Test plan

- `cargo check --tests -p codex-core -p codex-api -p codex-rollout-trace
-p codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-api -p codex-rollout-trace -p
codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-core event_mapping`

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (openai#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes openai#24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (openai#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (openai#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in openai#27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
serialize_thread_realtime_start`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core --test all
conversation_handoff_persists_across_item_done_until_turn_complete`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
webrtc_v1_client_managed_handoffs_disable_automatic_output`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
webrtc_v1_final_automatic_handoff_omits_silent_prefix`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- Local Codex Apps compatibility check: 43 focused webview tests passed,
and a live voice session routed through the source-built app-server.

The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (openai#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including
generated JSON/TypeScript fixture checks
- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per
request after unrelated local sandbox/Seatbelt failures (`sandbox-exec:
sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full
suite.

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (openai#28374)

## Summary

- add a provider API that supplies a fresh signed WebSocket URL for each
remote exec-server connection
- refresh the signed URL after disconnects and retry once when a
handshake returns `401 Unauthorized`
- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

## Tests

- `just test -p codex-exec-server -E
'test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_unauthorized_handshake)
| test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_disconnect)'` — 2
passed
- `cargo check -p codex-core-api` — passed
- `just fix -p codex-exec-server` — passed
- `just fix -p codex-core-api` — no test targets; no-op
- `just fmt` — passed
- `just test -p codex-exec-server` — 187 passed; 32 unrelated macOS
sandbox tests could not invoke nested `sandbox-exec` (`Operation not
permitted`)

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (openai#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`
surface.
- Updated the generated config schema.

## Validation

- `code_mode_only_exposes_direct_model_only_mcp_namespaces`
- `load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (openai#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-plugin`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just test -p codex-mcp-extension`
- `git diff --check`

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (openai#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (openai#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (openai#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

This is observability-only. It does not change plugin or skill loading
behavior.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins` (347 passed)
- `just fmt`

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (openai#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-plugin
-p codex-utils-plugins` (352 passed)
- `just fix -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-plugin
-p codex-utils-plugins`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (openai#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up openai#28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

The full workspace test suite was not run locally.

* Add network environment ID plumbing (openai#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request
structs.
- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

Those behavior changes moved to stacked follow-up openai#28899.

## Validation

- just fmt
- CI will run tests and clippy

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (openai#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (openai#28813)

Fixes openai#28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in openai#28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (openai#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (openai#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
actions/runner-images#14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (openai#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_sandbox_cwd`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (openai#28911)

## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait
- split context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped
contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (openai#28808)

Fixes openai#28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Summary

- Initialize stderr tracing and the configured OpenTelemetry provider
for local and remote `codex exec-server` startup.
- Instrument the local and remote server entrypoints with a root runtime
span.
- Keep raw Noise environment, registration, and stream identifiers out
of exported spans while preserving them in local debug events.
- Keep telemetry setup in a focused CLI module instead of growing the
top-level command entrypoint.

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (openai#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to openai#21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (openai#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* Add Config for Time Reminders (varlatency 1/n) (openai#28822)

## Summary

Example:

> [features.current_time_reminder]
enabled = true
reminder_interval_model_requests = 1
clock_source = "system"

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-core varlatency`
- `just test -p codex-core
lock_contains_prompts_and_materializes_features`
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-config -p codex-features`

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (openai#28494)

## Stack

Depends on openai#28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in openai#28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`
- `git diff --check`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (openai#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (openai#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (openai#28824)

Stacked on openai#28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

- `just clippy -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-server -p

- `just fmt`

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (openai#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (openai#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (openai#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (openai#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (openai#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

* TUI: improve unified mention selection visibility (openai#28959)

## Summary

[@milanglacier reported in
openai#28653](openai#28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s openai#28500
report](openai#28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-tui default_unified_mention_popup_snapshot`
- `just clippy -p codex-tui`
- `just fmt`
- Compiled `codex-cli` and tested the unified mentions picker in the
terminal.

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (openai#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (openai#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [openai#19047](openai#19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [openai#19049](openai#19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [openai#19051](openai#19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[openai#19054](openai#19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-login`

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (openai#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.
- Add focused regression coverage for both sides of the boundary.

Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core

- `git diff --check`
- A crate-wide `just test -p codex-core` run completed with 2,699
passing and 51 unrelated local sandbox/state failures, primarily state

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (openai#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-app-server
plugin_install_preserves_status_when_remote_bundle_error_body_is_too_large`
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (openai#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (openai#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (openai#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (openai#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (openai#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after openai#28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (openai#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as openai#28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

## Validation

- `cargo clippy -p codex-core-skills --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins
skills_service_reuses_skills_parsed_during_plugin_load`
- `just test -p codex-core-skills

#246)

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

## Test plan

- `cargo check --tests -p codex-core -p codex-api -p codex-rollout-trace
-p codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes #24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
serialize_thread_realtime_start`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core --test all
conversation_handoff_persists_across_item_done_until_turn_complete`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
webrtc_v1_client_managed_handoffs_disable_automatic_output`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all
webrtc_v1_final_automatic_handoff_omits_silent_prefix`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- Local Codex Apps compatibility check: 43 focused webview tests passed,
and a live voice session routed through the source-built app-server.

The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including
generated JSON/TypeScript fixture checks
- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per
request after unrelated local sandbox/Seatbelt failures (`sandbox-exec:
sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full
suite.

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (#28374)

## Summary

- add a provider API that supplies a fresh signed WebSocket URL for each
remote exec-server connection
- refresh the signed URL after disconnects and retry once when a
handshake returns `401 Unauthorized`
- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

## Tests

- `just test -p codex-exec-server -E
'test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_unauthorized_handshake)
| test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_disconnect)'` — 2
passed
- `cargo check -p codex-core-api` — passed
- `just fix -p codex-exec-server` — passed
- `just fix -p codex-core-api` — no test targets; no-op
- `just fmt` — passed
- `just test -p codex-exec-server` — 187 passed; 32 unrelated macOS
sandbox tests could not invoke nested `sandbox-exec` (`Operation not
permitted`)

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`
surface.
- Updated the generated config schema.

## Validation

- `code_mode_only_exposes_direct_model_only_mcp_namespaces`
- `load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

This is observability-only. It does not change plugin or skill loading
behavior.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins` (347 passed)
- `just fmt`

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-plugin
-p codex-utils-plugins` (352 passed)
- `just fix -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-plugin

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

* Add network environment ID plumbing (#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request
structs.
- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

Those behavior changes moved to stacked follow-up #28899.

## Validation

- just fmt
- CI will run tests and clippy

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (#28813)

Fixes #28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_sandbox_cwd`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (#28911)

## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait
- split context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped
contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

Fixes #28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Verification

- `env -u CODEX_SQLITE_HOME just test -p codex-app-server
goal_first_live_thread_appears_in_state_db_thread_list`

* [codex] Initialize exec-server OpenTelemetry at startup (#25019)

## Summary

- Initialize stderr tracing and the configured OpenTelemetry provider
for local and remote `codex exec-server` startup.
- Instrument the local and remote server entrypoints with a root runtime
span.
- Keep raw Noise environment, registration, and stream identifiers out
of exported spans while preserving them in local debug events.
- Keep telemetry setup in a focused CLI module instead of growing the
top-level command entrypoint.

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to #21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* Add Config for Time Reminders (varlatency 1/n) (#28822)

## Testing

- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-config -p codex-features`

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (#28494)

## Stack

Depends on #28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in #28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`
- `git diff --check`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (#28824)

Stacked on #28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-core varlatency_`
- `just clippy -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-server -p
codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

## Validation

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after #28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

* core: add UUIDv7 context window IDs (#28953)

## Why

The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.

## What changed

- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

* [plugins] Refresh plugin and tool caches after remote install (#28951)

Summary
- Refresh the installed remote-plugin snapshot and Codex Apps tools
after completing a remote JIT install.
- Gate `completed: true` on every expected `app_connector_id` appearing
after the uncached `tools/list` refresh, while continuing to skip local
bundle verification for server-side installs.
- Keep the cached recommendations response and filter refreshed
installed remote IDs locally, so this does not add another
recommendations fetch.
- Add regression coverage for tools appearing after the hard refresh and
remaining absent after the refresh. The resumed model request sees the
refreshed tool router when installation completes.

Root Cause
- Remote suggestions from `openai-curated-remote` returned `true` before
taking the existing connector refresh path, leaving the resumed turn
with the pre-install Apps tool catalog.

* Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

## Summary

- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.

## Notes

- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

* [codex] Assign response item IDs when recording history (#28814)

## Why

Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.

The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.

## What changed

- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.

`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

* [codex] Skip curated repo sync for remote plugins (#29005)

## Summary

- skip the legacy `openai-curated` startup repository sync when remote
plugins are enabled and the current auth uses the Codex backend
- keep the curated sync for API-key, Bedrock, and unauthenticated
sessions that fall back to the local marketplace
- preserve configured marketplace upgrades and all remote plugin startup
warmups

## Why

The remote catalog owns plugin discovery and materialization only when
it is usable for the current auth mode. Starting the legacy curated
repository sync in that case performs an unnecessary Git/HTTP/archive
download and cache refresh. API-key and Bedrock sessions still require
the local curated marketplace, so they must continue syncing it.

## User impact

Codex startup no longer downloads or refreshes the local
`openai-curated` snapshot when the remote catalog is active. Behavior is
unchanged for auth modes that use the local curated marketplace.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

Rust tests were not run per the repository's local verification policy
for this narrow conditional change.

* [codex] add clock current-time tool (#29011)

## Summary
- expose `clock.curr_time` when current-time reminders are enabled
- query the session's configured time provider with the calling thread
id
- return the existing UTC reminder text for direct model calls
- return `{ "current_time": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC" }` in Code Mode

Clock lookup failures remain fatal, matching pre-inference reminder
behavior.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_tool_returns_the_latest_time`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_current_time_returns_structured_result`
- `just fix -p codex-core`

* core: assign item IDs to compacted replacement history (#29012)

## Why

Remote v2 compaction can return replacement-history items without IDs.
Because replacement history is installed directly, those items bypass
normal history preparation and remain ID-less in later Responses
requests even when the `item_ids` feature is enabled.

## What changed

- Pass the active `TurnContext` into `replace_compacted_history`.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign missing IDs before installing and
persisting replacement history.
- Rebuild `CompactedItem` from the prepared history so live and
persisted replacement histories match.
- Add integration coverage requiring IDs on every ID-capable input item
in the initial, remote v2 compaction, and post-compaction requests.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids`
- `just test -p codex-core websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`

* [codex] Support protected resource OAuth discovery (#29022)

## Why

Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.

## What changed

- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration

This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow

* [1/3] core: add remote environment connection lifecycle (#28674)

## Why

Remote environments can be registered before their exec-server is first
used. Starting the connection at registration time uses that startup
window, while sharing one startup result prevents background work and
capability calls from opening competing connections.

Keep initial startup simple: each environment makes one connection
attempt using its configured transport timeout. A failed initial attempt
is final for that environment, while an environment that disconnects
after connecting can still recover on a later operation.

## What changed

- Start URL and Noise environments in the background when they are added
to `EnvironmentManager`. Provider snapshots are fully validated before
connection work begins.
- Share one initial connection attempt and its saved result across
metadata, process, filesystem, and HTTP callers.
- Keep configured stdio environments lazy until first use so
registration does not launch a process.
- Tie background startup work to the environment lifetime so replacing
or dropping an environment cancels unfinished work.
- After an established client disconnects, share one fresh connection
attempt across concurrent callers. A failed attempt fails the current
operation without permanently preventing a later attempt.
- Store the shared lazy client directly on `Environment` and expose
small methods for starting, observing, and awaiting startup.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server

* [2/3] core: track starting environments in snapshots (#28683)

## Why

Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.

Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.

Depends on #28674.

## What changed

- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`

## Landing note

Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.

* [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

## Why

Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
`deferred_executor` feature.

Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.

Depends on #28683.

## What changed

- Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
it in the app-server README.
- Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
the existing default when it is omitted.
- Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
timeout.
- Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`

## Rollout

This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
default.

* Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.

This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.

## What changed

- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.

Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.

## Not covered

- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.

## Stack

Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.

* Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

## Why

Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.

The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.

## What changed

- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.

## Not covered

- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`

The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

## Test plan

-p codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-protocol`

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes #24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol
serialize_thread_realtime_start`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core --test all

- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all

- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- Local Codex Apps compatibility check: 43 focused webview tests passed,
and a live voice session routed through the source-built app-server.

The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including
generated JSON/TypeScript fixture checks
- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per
request after unrelated local sandbox/Seatbelt failures (`sandbox-exec:
sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full
suite.

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (#28374)

## Summary

- add a provider API that supplies a fresh signed WebSocket URL for each
remote exec-server connection
- refresh the signed URL after disconnects and retry once when a
handshake returns `401 Unauthorized`
- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

## Tests

- `just test -p codex-exec-server -E
'test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_unauthorized_handshake)
| test(remote_websocket_client_refreshes_url_after_disconnect)'` — 2

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`
surface.
- Updated the generated config schema.

## Validation

- `load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

This is observability-only. It does not change plugin or skill loading
behavior.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins` (347 passed)
- `just fmt`

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-skills -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-plugin

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

* Add network environment ID plumbing (#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request
structs.
- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

Those behavior changes moved to stacked follow-up #28899.

## Validation

- just fmt
- CI will run tests and clippy

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (#28813)

Fixes #28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_sandbox_cwd`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (#28911)

## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait
- split context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped
contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

Fixes #28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Verification

- `env -u CODEX_SQLITE_HOME just test -p codex-app-server
goal_first_live_thread_appears_in_state_db_thread_list`

* [codex] Initialize exec-server OpenTelemetry at startup (#25019)

## Summary

- Initialize stderr tracing and the configured OpenTelemetry provider
for local and remote `codex exec-server` startup.
- Instrument the local and remote server entrypoints with a root runtime
span.
- Keep raw Noise environment, registration, and stream identifiers out
of exported spans while preserving them in local debug events.
- Keep telemetry setup in a focused CLI module instead of growing the
top-level command entrypoint.

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to #21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* Add Config for Time Reminders (varlatency 1/n) (#28822)

## Testing

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (#28494)

## Stack

Depends on #28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in #28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (#28824)

Stacked on #28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

* TUI: improve unified mention selection visibility (#28959)

## Summary

[@milanglacier reported in
#28653](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s #28500
report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.
- Add focused regression coverage for both sides of the boundary.

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

## Validation

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after #28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

* core: add UUIDv7 context window IDs (#28953)

## Why

The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.

## What changed

- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

* [plugins] Refresh plugin and tool caches after remote install (#28951)

Summary
- Refresh the installed remote-plugin snapshot and Codex Apps tools
after completing a remote JIT install.
- Gate `completed: true` on every expected `app_connector_id` appearing
after the uncached `tools/list` refresh, while continuing to skip local
bundle verification for server-side installs.
- Keep the cached recommendations response and filter refreshed
installed remote IDs locally, so this does not add another
recommendations fetch.
- Add regression coverage for tools appearing after the hard refresh and
remaining absent after the refresh. The resumed model request sees the
refreshed tool router when installation completes.

Root Cause
- Remote suggestions from `openai-curated-remote` returned `true` before
taking the existing connector refresh path, leaving the resumed turn
with the pre-install Apps tool catalog.

Validation
- `just test -p codex-core request_plugin_install`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core` was not fully clean locally: 2,729 passed,

Seatbelt/network/timing issues, including plugin-install timeouts under
full-suite contention; the focused plugin-install runs pass.

* Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

## Summary

- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.

## Notes

- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Validation

- Merged fresh `origin/main` at `83e6a786a2`.

* [codex] Assign response item IDs when recording history (#28814)

## Why

Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.

The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.

## What changed

- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.

`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

* [codex] Skip curated repo sync for remote plugins (#29005)

## Summary

- skip the legacy `openai-curated` startup repository sync when remote
plugins are enabled and the current auth uses the Codex backend
- keep the curated sync for API-key, Bedrock, and unauthenticated
sessions that fall back to the local marketplace
- preserve configured marketplace upgrades and all remote plugin startup
warmups

## Why

The remote catalog owns plugin discovery and materialization only when
it is usable for the current auth mode. Starting the legacy curated
repository sync in that case performs an unnecessary Git/HTTP/archive
download and cache refresh. API-key and Bedrock sessions still require
the local curated marketplace, so they must continue syncing it.

## User impact

Codex startup no longer downloads or refreshes the local
`openai-curated` snapshot when the remote catalog is active. Behavior is
unchanged for auth modes that use the local curated marketplace.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

Rust tests were not run per the repository's local verification policy
for this narrow conditional change.

* [codex] add clock current-time tool (#29011)

## Summary
- expose `clock.curr_time` when current-time reminders are enabled
- query the session's configured time provider with the calling thread
id
- return the existing UTC reminder text for direct model calls
- return `{ "current_time": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC" }` in Code Mode

Clock lookup failures remain fatal, matching pre-inference reminder
behavior.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_tool_returns_the_latest_time`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_current_time_returns_structured_result`
- `just fix -p codex-core`

* core: assign item IDs to compacted replacement history (#29012)

## Why

Remote v2 compaction can return replacement-history items without IDs.
Because replacement history is installed directly, those items bypass
normal history preparation and remain ID-less in later Responses
requests even when the `item_ids` feature is enabled.

## What changed

- Pass the active `TurnContext` into `replace_compacted_history`.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign missing IDs before installing and
persisting replacement history.
- Rebuild `CompactedItem` from the prepared history so live and
persisted replacement histories match.
- Add integration coverage requiring IDs on every ID-capable input item
in the initial, remote v2 compaction, and post-compaction requests.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids`
- `just test -p codex-core websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`
- `just test -p codex-core remote_compaction_parity_pre_turn_auto`

* [codex] Support protected resource OAuth discovery (#29022)

## Why

Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.

## What changed

- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration

This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow

* [1/3] core: add remote environment connection lifecycle (#28674)

## Why

Remote environments can be registered before their exec-server is first
used. Starting the connection at registration time uses that startup
window, while sharing one startup result prevents background work and
capability calls from opening competing connections.

Keep initial startup simple: each environment makes one connection
attempt using its configured transport timeout. A failed initial attempt
is final for that environment, while an environment that disconnects
after connecting can still recover on a later operation.

## What changed

- Start URL and Noise environments in the background when they are added
to `EnvironmentManager`. Provider snapshots are fully validated before
connection work begins.
- Share one initial connection attempt and its saved result across
metadata, process, filesystem, and HTTP callers.
- Keep configured stdio environments lazy until first use so
registration does not launch a process.
- Tie background startup work to the environment lifetime so replacing
or dropping an environment cancels unfinished work.
- After an established client disconnects, share one fresh connection
attempt across concurrent callers. A failed attempt fails the current
operation without permanently preventing a later attempt.
- Store the shared lazy client directly on `Environment` and expose
small methods for starting, observing, and awaiting startup.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
turn_start_resolves_sticky_thread_local_environment_and_turn_overrides`

* [2/3] core: track starting environments in snapshots (#28683)

## Why

Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.

Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.

Depends on #28674.

## What changed

- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`

## Landing note

Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.

* [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

## Why

Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
`deferred_executor` feature.

Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.

Depends on #28683.

## What changed

- Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
it in the app-server README.
- Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
the existing default when it is omitted.
- Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
timeout.
- Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`

## Rollout

This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
default.

* Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.

This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.

## What changed

- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.

Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.

## Not covered

- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.

## Stack

Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.

* Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

## Why

Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.

The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.

## What changed

- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.

## Not covered

- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`

The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes #24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

- `just fmt`

The explicit `RUST_MIN_STACK` avoids a macOS Tokio test-worker stack
overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including

- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per

sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (#28374)

## Summary

- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`
surface.
- Updated the generated config schema.

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

This is observability-only. It does not change plugin or skill loading
behavior.

## Validation

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

* Add network environment ID plumbing (#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request
structs.
- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

Those behavior changes moved to stacked follow-up #28899.

## Validation

- just fmt
- CI will run tests and clippy

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (#28813)

Fixes #28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (#28911)

## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait

contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

Fixes #28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Verification

- `env -u CODEX_SQLITE_HOME just test -p codex-app-server

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to #21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (#28494)

## Stack

Depends on #28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in #28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`
- `git diff --check`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (#28824)

Stacked on #28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

* TUI: improve unified mention selection visibility (#28959)

## Summary

[@milanglacier reported in
#28653](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s #28500
report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

## Testing

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-login`

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.
- Add focused regression coverage for both sides of the boundary.

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

## Validation

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after #28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

## Validation

* core: add UUIDv7 context window IDs (#28953)

## Why

The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.

## What changed

- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

* [plugins] Refresh plugin and tool caches after remote install (#28951)

Summary
- Refresh the installed remote-plugin snapshot and Codex Apps tools
after completing a remote JIT install.
- Gate `completed: true` on every expected `app_connector_id` appearing
after the uncached `tools/list` refresh, while continuing to skip local
bundle verification for server-side installs.
- Keep the cached recommendations response and filter refreshed
installed remote IDs locally, so this does not add another
recommendations fetch.
- Add regression coverage for tools appearing after the hard refresh and
remaining absent after the refresh. The resumed model request sees the
refreshed tool router when installation completes.

Root Cause
- Remote suggestions from `openai-curated-remote` returned `true` before
taking the existing connector refresh path, leaving the resumed turn
with the pre-install Apps tool catalog.

Validation
- `just test -p codex-core request_plugin_install`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins

- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core` was not fully clean locally: 2,729 passed,

Seatbelt/network/timing issues, including plugin-install timeouts under
full-suite contention; the focused plugin-install runs pass.

* Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

## Summary

- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.

## Notes

- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Validation

- Merged fresh `origin/main` at `83e6a786a2`.

* [codex] Assign response item IDs when recording history (#28814)

## Why

Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.

The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.

## What changed

- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.

`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

## Test plan

* [codex] Skip curated repo sync for remote plugins (#29005)

## Summary

- skip the legacy `openai-curated` startup repository sync when remote
plugins are enabled and the current auth uses the Codex backend
- keep the curated sync for API-key, Bedrock, and unauthenticated
sessions that fall back to the local marketplace
- preserve configured marketplace upgrades and all remote plugin startup
warmups

## Why

The remote catalog owns plugin discovery and materialization only when
it is usable for the current auth mode. Starting the legacy curated
repository sync in that case performs an unnecessary Git/HTTP/archive
download and cache refresh. API-key and Bedrock sessions still require
the local curated marketplace, so they must continue syncing it.

## User impact

Codex startup no longer downloads or refreshes the local
`openai-curated` snapshot when the remote catalog is active. Behavior is
unchanged for auth modes that use the local curated marketplace.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

Rust tests were not run per the repository's local verification policy
for this narrow conditional change.

* [codex] add clock current-time tool (#29011)

## Summary
- expose `clock.curr_time` when current-time reminders are enabled
- query the session's configured time provider with the calling thread
id
- return the existing UTC reminder text for direct model calls
- return `{ "current_time": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC" }` in Code Mode

Clock lookup failures remain fatal, matching pre-inference reminder
behavior.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_tool_returns_the_latest_time`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_current_time_returns_structured_result`
- `just fix -p codex-core`

* core: assign item IDs to compacted replacement history (#29012)

## Why

Remote v2 compaction can return replacement-history items without IDs.
Because replacement history is installed directly, those items bypass
normal history preparation and remain ID-less in later Responses
requests even when the `item_ids` feature is enabled.

## What changed

- Pass the active `TurnContext` into `replace_compacted_history`.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign missing IDs before installing and
persisting replacement history.
- Rebuild `CompactedItem` from the prepared history so live and
persisted replacement histories match.
- Add integration coverage requiring IDs on every ID-capable input item
in the initial, remote v2 compaction, and post-compaction requests.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids`
- `just test -p codex-core websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`
- `just test -p codex-core remote_compaction_parity_pre_turn_auto`

* [codex] Support protected resource OAuth discovery (#29022)

## Why

Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.

## What changed

- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration

This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow

* [1/3] core: add remote environment connection lifecycle (#28674)

## Why

Remote environments can be registered before their exec-server is first
used. Starting the connection at registration time uses that startup
window, while sharing one startup result prevents background work and
capability calls from opening competing connections.

Keep initial startup simple: each environment makes one connection
attempt using its configured transport timeout. A failed initial attempt
is final for that environment, while an environment that disconnects
after connecting can still recover on a later operation.

## What changed

- Start URL and Noise environments in the background when they are added
to `EnvironmentManager`. Provider snapshots are fully validated before
connection work begins.
- Share one initial connection attempt and its saved result across
metadata, process, filesystem, and HTTP callers.
- Keep configured stdio environments lazy until first use so
registration does not launch a process.
- Tie background startup work to the environment lifetime so replacing
or dropping an environment cancels unfinished work.
- After an established client disconnects, share one fresh connection
attempt across concurrent callers. A failed attempt fails the current
operation without permanently preventing a later attempt.
- Store the shared lazy client directly on `Environment` and expose
small methods for starting, observing, and awaiting startup.

* [2/3] core: track starting environments in snapshots (#28683)

## Why

Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.

Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.

Depends on #28674.

## What changed

- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`

## Landing note

Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.

* [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

## Why

Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
`deferred_executor` feature.

Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.

Depends on #28683.

## What changed

- Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
it in the app-server README.
- Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
the existing default when it is omitted.
- Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
timeout.
- Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`

## Rollout

This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
default.

* Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.

This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.

## What changed

- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.

Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.

## Not covered

- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.

## Stack

Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.

* Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

## Why

Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.

The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.

## What changed

- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.

## Not covered

- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`

The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes #24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including

- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per

sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (#28374)

## Summary

- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

Context:

behavior.

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

* Add network environment ID plumbing (#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request
structs.
- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

Those behavior changes moved to stacked follow-up #28899.

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (#28813)

Fixes #28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:

- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (#28911)

contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

Fixes #28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Verification

* [codex] Initialize exec-server OpenTelemetry at startup (#25019)

## Summary

- Initialize stderr tracing and the configured OpenTelemetry provider
for local and remote `codex exec-server` startup.
- Instrument the local and remote server entrypoints with a root runtime
span.
- Keep raw Noise environment, registration, and stream identifiers out
of exported spans while preserving them in local debug events.
- Keep telemetry setup in a focused CLI module instead of growing the
top-level command entrypoint.

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to #21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* Add Config for Time Reminders (varlatency 1/n) (#28822)

## Summary

Example:

> [features.current_time_reminder]

reminder_interval_model_requests = 1
clock_source = "system"

## Testing

- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-config -p codex-features`

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (#28494)

## Stack

Depends on #28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in #28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`
- `git diff --check`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (#28824)

Stacked on #28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

* TUI: improve unified mention selection visibility (#28959)

## Summary

[@milanglacier reported in
#28653](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s #28500
report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

## Testing

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-login`

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.
- Add focused regression coverage for both sides of the boundary.

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

## Validation

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after #28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

* core: add UUIDv7 context window IDs (#28953)

## Why

The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.

## What changed

- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

* [plugins] Refresh plugin and tool caches after remote install (#28951)

Summary
- Refresh the installed remote-plugin snapshot and Codex Apps tools
after completing a remote JIT install.
- Gate `completed: true` on every expected `app_connector_id` appearing
after the uncached `tools/list` refresh, while continuing to skip local
bundle verification for server-side installs.
- Keep the cached recommendations response and filter refreshed
installed remote IDs locally, so this does not add another
recommendations fetch.
- Add regression coverage for tools appearing after the hard refresh and
remaining absent after the refresh. The resumed model request sees the
refreshed tool router when installation completes.

Root Cause
- Remote suggestions from `openai-curated-remote` returned `true` before
taking the existing connector refresh path, leaving the resumed turn
with the pre-install Apps tool catalog.

Validation
- `just test -p codex-core request_plugin_install`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins

- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core` was not fully clean locally: 2,729 passed,

Seatbelt/network/timing issues, including plugin-install timeouts under
full-suite contention; the focused plugin-install runs pass.

* Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

## Summary

- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.

## Notes

- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Validation

* [codex] Assign response item IDs when recording history (#28814)

## Why

Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.

The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.

## What changed

- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.

`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

* [codex] Skip curated repo sync for remote plugins (#29005)

## Summary

- skip the legacy `openai-curated` startup repository sync when remote
plugins are enabled and the current auth uses the Codex backend
- keep the curated sync for API-key, Bedrock, and unauthenticated
sessions that fall back to the local marketplace
- preserve configured marketplace upgrades and all remote plugin startup
warmups

## Why

The remote catalog owns plugin discovery and materialization only when
it is usable for the current auth mode. Starting the legacy curated
repository sync in that case performs an unnecessary Git/HTTP/archive
download and cache refresh. API-key and Bedrock sessions still require
the local curated marketplace, so they must continue syncing it.

## User impact

Codex startup no longer downloads or refreshes the local

unchanged for auth modes that use the local curated marketplace.

* [codex] add clock current-time tool (#29011)

## Summary
- expose `clock.curr_time` when current-time reminders are enabled
- query the session's configured time provider with the calling thread
id
- return the existing UTC reminder text for direct model calls
- return `{ "current_time": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC" }` in Code Mode

Clock lookup failures remain fatal, matching pre-inference reminder
behavior.

## Testing

* core: assign item IDs to compacted replacement history (#29012)

## Why

Remote v2 compaction can return replacement-history items without IDs.
Because replacement history is installed directly, those items bypass
normal history preparation and remain ID-less in later Responses
requests even when the `item_ids` feature is enabled.

## What changed

- Pass the active `TurnContext` into `replace_compacted_history`.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign missing IDs before installing and
persisting replacement history.
- Rebuild `CompactedItem` from the prepared history so live and
persisted replacement histories match.
- Add integration coverage requiring IDs on every ID-capable input item
in the initial, remote v2 compaction, and post-compaction requests.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids`
- `just test -p codex-core websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`

* [codex] Support protected resource OAuth discovery (#29022)

## Why

Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.

## What changed

- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration

This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow

* [1/3] core: add remote environment connection lifecycle (#28674)

## Why

Remote environments can be registered before their exec-server is first
used. Starting the connection at registration time uses that startup
window, while sharing one startup result prevents background work and
capability calls from opening competing connections.

Keep initial startup simple: each environment makes one connection
attempt using its configured transport timeout. A failed initial attempt
is final for that environment, while an environment that disconnects
after connecting can still recover on a later operation.

## What changed

- Start URL and Noise environments in the background when they are added
to `EnvironmentManager`. Provider snapshots are fully validated before
connection work begins.
- Share one initial connection attempt and its saved result across
metadata, process, filesystem, and HTTP callers.
- Keep configured stdio environments lazy until first use so
registration does not launch a process.
- Tie background startup work to the environment lifetime so replacing
or dropping an environment cancels unfinished work.
- After an established client disconnects, share one fresh connection
attempt across concurrent callers. A failed attempt fails the current
operation without permanently preventing a later attempt.
- Store the shared lazy client directly on `Environment` and expose
small methods for starting, observing, and awaiting startup.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server

* [2/3] core: track starting environments in snapshots (#28683)

## Why

Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.

Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.

Depends on #28674.

## What changed

- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`

## Landing note

Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.

* [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

## Why

Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
`deferred_executor` feature.

Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.

Depends on #28683.

## What changed

- Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
it in the app-server README.
- Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
the existing default when it is omitted.
- Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
timeout.
- Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`

## Rollout

This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
default.

* Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.

This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.

## What changed

- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.

Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.

## Not covered

- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.

## Stack

Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.

* Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

## Why

Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.

The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.

## What changed

- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.

## Not covered

- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`

The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.

* [codex] Add optional IDs to response items (#28812)

## Why

`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.

This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.

## What changed

- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.

The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

* fix(install): support older awk checksum parsing (#28784)

## Why

The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk
interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression,
so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release
manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on
common Debian-derived environments.

Fixes #24219.

## What Changed

Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus
rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing
SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older
awk implementations.

## How to Test

1. Build and run the checksum predicate with mawk 1.3.4 20121129.
2. Confirm the old interval predicate rejects a valid 64-character
digest.
3. Confirm the updated predicate accepts that digest.
4. Put the old mawk binary first on PATH as awk and run
scripts/install/install.sh with an isolated HOME, CODEX_HOME, and
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR.
5. Confirm Codex installs successfully and the installed binary reports
version 0.140.0.
6. Verify the predicate rejects wrong-length digests, non-hexadecimal
digests, and entries for another asset while accepting uppercase
hexadecimal digests.

* [codex] Use unique IDs for realtime-routed turns (#28826)

## Why

A durable realtime voice orchestrator can reconnect and resume through
multiple fresh `Session` instances. Realtime handoffs were using the
Session-local `auto-compact-N` counter as their turn identity, but that
counter restarts at zero for every resumed Session. The durable thread
could therefore accumulate duplicate turn IDs, violating the uniqueness
assumptions made by app-server and web clients. In Codex Apps, a new
delegated response stream could be attached to an older turn with the
same ID, placing live output higher in history and putting turn-scoped
actions at risk.

Persisted rollout and reconstructed model-context order were already
correct because raw response items remain append-only and chronological.
This change restores unique identity for reconstructed and live turn
surfaces.

## What changed

- Generate a UUIDv7 specifically for each realtime-routed delegation.
- Leave the existing `auto-compact-N` identity path unchanged for actual
internal auto-compaction turns.
- Extend the inbound realtime handoff integration test to require a UUID
turn ID from `turn/started`.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-core inbound_handoff_request_starts_turn`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`

* [codex] control automatic realtime handoff delivery (#27986)

## What

Built on the realtime speech-control plumbing merged in #27917.

- Add optional `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply that prefix only to automatic V1 commentary sent through
`conversation.handoff.append`; final answers remain unprefixed.
- Add opt-in `clientManagedHandoffs`. When true, core suppresses
automatic response handoffs and completion output so delivery is
controlled by explicit client append APIs.
- Preserve existing automatic behavior by default.
`codexResponsesAsItems: true` continues to select item routing when
client-managed mode is disabled.

## Why

Voice clients need two delivery policies: automatic background context
with silent commentary instructions and fully client-owned handoffs.
Phase-aware prefixing keeps routine commentary silent without
suppressing the final answer, while client-managed mode lets an app
decide exactly which updates to append.

## Validation

overflow seen with the default test environment.

* [codex] Support assistant realtime append text (#28836)

## Why

Frontend realtime voice continuity needs to replay a tiny
previous-session overlap as actual conversation items, including
assistant text. The app-server `thread/realtime/appendText` API already
carries a role through to the Rust realtime websocket layer, but the
shared role enum only accepted `user` and `developer`.

## What Changed

- Added `assistant` to `ConversationTextRole` and regenerated the
app-server schema/type fixtures.
- Added `output_text` as a realtime conversation content type.
- Updated realtime websocket item creation so assistant appendText emits
`content: [{ type: "output_text", text }]`, while user and developer
continue to emit `input_text`.
- Updated app-server docs and tests to cover assistant appendText
alongside the existing developer role behavior.

## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt` (first sandboxed attempt failed because `uv` could not
access `~/.cache/uv`; reran with filesystem access and passed)
- `just test -p codex-api` passed: 126/126
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` passed: 239/239, including

- `just test -p codex-app-server` was started locally but stopped per

sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`) and one missing local `codex`
binary failure; CI should be faster and more authoritative for the full

* Refresh signed exec-server URLs on reconnect (#28374)

## Summary

- add a provider API that supplies a fresh signed WebSocket URL for each

- refresh the signed URL after disconnects and retry once when a

- allow `EnvironmentManager` consumers to register remote environments
backed by the URL provider

## Tests

* Expose selecte namespaces as direct model tools (#28825)

## Why

Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.

## What changed

- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`

* [codex] Support plugin manifest path lists (#28790)

## Summary

Allow plugin manifests to declare `skills` as either a single path
string or an array of path strings in the core plugin loader.

## Why

Some plugin packages need to expose skills from more than one directory.
Before this change, `plugin.json` only accepted a single string for
`skills`, so manifests like this were ignored as an invalid `skills`
shape:

```json
{
  "skills": ["./skills/abc", "./skills/edk"]
}
```

This keeps the existing single-string form working while adding support
for the list form. The final scope is intentionally limited to the core
plugin manifest/load path for `skills`; `apps`, file-backed
`mcpServers`, and the bundled plugin-creator assets are unchanged in
this PR.

## What changed

- Parse `skills` as either a string or an array of strings in
`plugin.json`.
- Store resolved skill paths as a list in `PluginManifestPaths`.
- Load manifest-declared skill roots in addition to the default
`./skills` root.
- Deduplicate exact duplicate skill roots before loading.
- Rely on existing skill-loader dedupe by canonical `SKILL.md` path for
overlapping roots such as `./skills` plus `./skills/abc`.
- Update plugin manifest tests to cover:
  - single string `skills`
  - list of string `skills`
  - duplicate skill roots
  - `./skills` as a manifest path
  - explicit child roots like `./skills/abc` and `./skills/edk`
  - overlapping-root dedupe

* Record more path migration guidance for codex. (#28851)

Some common themes pulled out of both human and automated reviews from
the last couple of days' migrations to `PathUri` and
`LegacyAppPathString`.

* unified-exec: retain PathUri in command events (#28780)

## Why

App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.

## What changed

- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion

* [codex] Split plugin and skill warmup tracing (#28605)

## What changed

- promote plugin config loading to an info-level `plugins_for_config`
span
- promote skill config loading to an info-level `skills_for_config` span
- attach stable OpenTelemetry names to both spans

## Why

`session_init.plugin_skill_warmup` currently combines plugin loading and
skill loading, which makes cold-start traces unable to identify which
phase dominates. These child spans preserve the existing aggregate while
making the two costs independently visible.

* [codex] Pass plugin namespace into skill loading (#28608)

## What changed

- retain the parsed plugin manifest namespace on loaded plugins
- carry that namespace through `PluginSkillRoot` and `SkillRoot`
- use the provided namespace when qualifying plugin skill names
- include the namespace in the skills cache key

## Why

Plugin loading has already parsed `plugin.json`, but skill parsing
currently walks every `SKILL.md` ancestor and probes/reads the manifest
again to reconstruct the same namespace. Passing the parsed namespace
removes those repeated filesystem calls, which are particularly costly
on remote filesystems.

Context:
https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0ARA9GF5D4/p1781639496496439?thread_ts=1781202444.891669&cid=C0ARA9GF5D4

## Impact

Plugin skill names remain unchanged. A regression test uses a
deliberately different on-disk manifest name to verify that plugin roots
use the provided parsed namespace.

* [codex] add rollout token budget configuration (varlength 1/N) (#28746)

## What

This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).

```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```

The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.

## Scope

This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.

The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.

## Tests

The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.

Local checks:

- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`

* Add network environment ID plumbing (#28766)

## Why

Prepare network approval scoping to distinguish execution environments
without changing behavior yet.

## What changed

- Add optional environment IDs to network policy requests.
- Add optional network environment IDs to exec and sandbox request

- Thread default None values through existing construction points.
- Fix stale constructor call sites that caused the CI compile failures.

## Not included

- Per-environment proxy listeners.
- Network approval cache or prompt behavior changes.
- Ambiguous request attribution handling.

* Avoid sandbox helper in apply_patch approval tests (#28915)

## Summary
This keeps the apply_patch approval tests focused on approval behavior
instead of macOS sandboxed filesystem helper startup.

The changed cases still force patch approval with `UnlessTrusted`, but
use `DangerFullAccess` after approval so the patch write is direct and
cheap. Workspace-write and sandbox-helper behavior remain covered by the
filesystem and apply_patch sandbox tests.

* Pause active goals before TUI interrupts (#28813)

Fixes #28104.

## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.

This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.

## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.

I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.

* Recover exec process stdin writes (#28895)

## Summary

Remote stdio MCP servers send tool calls by writing JSON-RPC bytes
through `process/write`.

When the exec-server websocket drops at the wrong time, the remote
process can survive session recovery, but the stdin write can still fail
back to RMCP as a transport send error. RMCP then closes the stdio MCP
transport, so tools like `node_repl` are lost even though the
process/session recovery path is working.

This changes `process/write` to be safe to retry across exec-server
recovery:

- adds a required `writeId` to `process/write`
- retries remote `Session::write` with the same `writeId` after
reconnect
- remembers accepted write ids per process so duplicate retries return
`Accepted` without writing the same bytes to child stdin again
- covers both the client retry path and server-side write id dedupe with
tests

In simple terms:

```text
before:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> write errors -> RMCP closes node_repl

after:
write to MCP stdin -> websocket closes -> reconnect -> retry same writeId
server either writes once or recognizes it already did
```

* Pin Windows argument lint to Windows 2022 (#28940)

## What

Run the Windows argument-comment-lint job on the `windows-2022` hosted
runner instead of the custom Windows runner pool.

## Why

The custom pool recently moved from the Visual Studio 2022 Windows image
to `windows-2025-vs2026`. Since that migration, the job fails while
Bazel materializes LLVM external repository sources, before the argument
lint itself runs. The same failure appears across unrelated PRs.

This narrow change tests GitHub’s recommended mitigation for workloads
that still require the Visual Studio 2022 image:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14017

## How

Use the standard `windows-2022` runner for only the Windows
argument-comment-lint matrix entry. No product code or lint behavior
changes.

* Scope MCP sandbox metadata to server environment (#28914)

Scope MCP sandbox metadata to the MCP server's owning environment.

Previously, `codex/sandbox-state-meta` always used the turn's primary
cwd and rebuilt a legacy sandbox policy from that cwd. That can be wrong
for MCP servers owned by a different execution environment.

This now sends the owning environment cwd as a `file:` URI in
`sandboxCwd`, keeps `permissionProfile` as the permission source of
truth, and omits sandbox-state metadata when a non-default server
environment is not selected for the turn. Local/default MCP servers keep
the existing fallback cwd behavior.

Tests:
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_sandbox_cwd`

* Add turn-scoped context contributions (#28911)

## Summary
- keep context injection on a single ContextContributor trait
- split context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped
contribution methods
- wire turn-scoped fragments into initial context assembly so extensions
can contribute context from turn-local state

* Fix goal-first live threads missing from thread/list (#28808)

Fixes #28263.

## Why

When a thread starts with `/goal`, the goal extension can update SQLite
goal state before the thread has any user-turn rollout items.
`thread/list` and `thread/search` rely on persisted listing metadata, so
a goal-first live thread could be absent from app-server listings after
restart even though the goal itself existed.

This regressed when goal handling moved out of core: the core path wrote
the goal update through the live thread rollout path, while the
extension-backed app-server path only updated goal state and emitted the
live notification.

## What

- Add `GoalSetOutcome::thread_goal_updated_item()` so the goal extension
owns the canonical `ThreadGoalUpdated` rollout item shape.
- Expose a narrow `CodexThread::append_rollout_items()` helper that
appends through the live thread and keeps derived SQLite metadata in
sync.
- When app-server sets a goal on an active live thread, persist the goal
update through that live-thread path.
- Add an app-server regression test that starts a live thread with
`thread/goal/set` and verifies it appears in state-DB-only
`thread/list`.

## Verification

- `env -u CODEX_SQLITE_HOME just test -p codex-app-server
goal_first_live_thread_appears_in_state_db_thread_list`

* [codex] Initialize exec-server OpenTelemetry at startup (#25019)

## Summary

- Initialize stderr tracing and the configured OpenTelemetry provider
for local and remote `codex exec-server` startup.
- Instrument the local and remote server entrypoints with a root runtime
span.
- Keep raw Noise environment, registration, and stream identifiers out
of exported spans while preserving them in local debug events.
- Keep telemetry setup in a focused CLI module instead of growing the
top-level command entrypoint.

* [codex] Fix Windows sandbox runtime ACL refresh (#28943)

## Why

Codex Desktop repairs sandbox-user read/execute access for binaries
copied to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\bin`, but Computer Use launches
its bundled Node runtime from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAI\Codex\runtimes`.

On fresh Windows installations, `CodexSandboxUsers` may therefore be
unable to execute the bundled Node binary. The command runner starts,
but `CreateProcessAsUserW` fails with error 5 (`ACCESS_DENIED`), causing
the Node REPL to exit before Computer Use can discover applications.

This is a follow-up to #21564, which added the original runtime `bin`
ACL repair.

## What changed

- Expand the Codex Desktop runtime ACL roots from only `bin` to both
`bin` and `runtimes`.
- Apply the existing inherited read/execute ACL repair to each runtime
directory when it exists.
- Rename the setup helper to reflect that it now handles multiple
runtime paths.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt -- --check`
- `just test -p codex-windows-sandbox` was run: 113 tests passed and
five environment-dependent legacy execution tests failed because
`CreateRestrictedToken` returned error 87.

* Synchronize realtime notification test requests (#28946)

## What

Deliver the scripted realtime notification batch after the assistant
text append request instead of after the preceding developer text append
request.

## Why

The batch ends with an upstream error that closes the realtime
conversation. When it is emitted after the developer append, it races
the subsequent assistant append: the app-server RPC can acknowledge the
append before its downstream WebSocket send completes, and the test
intermittently observes three requests instead of four.

Making the fake server wait for the assistant append before emitting the
terminal batch establishes the ordering the test asserts without sleeps
or production-code changes.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- CI (the failure is timing-dependent and most reproducible in the
Windows Bazel shard)

* Add Config for Time Reminders (varlatency 1/n) (#28822)

## Summary

Example:

clock_source = "system"

## Testing

- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-config -p codex-features`

* [codex] rollout budget implementation (varlength 2/N) (#28494)

## Stack

Depends on #28746. This PR implements shared rollout-budget accounting
and model-visible reminders using the configuration defined in #28746.

# Description / Main changes to Core:

`AgentControl` will now be the area where "rollout level" features &
accounting will have to live. It is incorrectly named for this
responsibility, but I think it can hold all the necessary shared state &
features (rollout token budget, mutliple thread interruption
responsibilitym etc)

In this PR, we have one "token ledger" that each thread will subtract
from when sampling. The "charge" will occur when response.completed() is
done and the calculation will be done on the responses api usage
carrier. The calculation will weigh sampling and pre-fill tokens as
specified.

Every time the budget crosses the configured reminder threshold, a
developer message is appended before the thread's next request

This remaining budget will _always_ be restated/reminded after a
compaction event.

Expiration and fan-out interruption will be in the stacked follow-up
(and also live in Agent Control).

## Reminders

"You have weighted {session_tokens_left} tokens left in the shared
session token budget."

The first request in each thread context receives the current remainder.
Later reminders are emitted after aggregate weighted usage crosses a
configured interval. If several intervals are crossed before a thread
sends another request, Core inserts one reminder with the latest
remainder.

Compaction response usage is charged before the next context starts. The
next reminder is appended after the compaction summary, leaving the
initial context content stable.

## Tests

Integration coverage verifies:

- weighted output and non-cached input accounting
- initial and periodic reminders
- shared accounting between a root and sub-agent
- post-compaction remainder and message placement

Local checks:

- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-core rollout_budget`
- `git diff --check`

* Support `openai/form` extended form elicitations (#27500)

# Summary
Allow App Server clients to opt into `openai/form` MCP elicitations.

* [codex] Make thread store turn filter optional (#28949)

Make `ListItemsParams::turn_id` optional so callers can list persisted
items across an entire thread or narrow the result to one turn. This
aligns the thread-store API and documentation with thread-wide item
listing while preserving the optional turn-filter behavior for
implementations.

* current time reminders impl for system clock (varlatency 2/n) (#28824)

Stacked on #28822.

## Summary

- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction

This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.

## Testing

- `just clippy -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-server -p

- `just fmt`

* [codex] Cache plugin metadata for tool suggestions (#27812)

## Why

`built_tools` runs for every sampling request, and local plugin
discovery was repeatedly rereading plugin manifests, skills, MCP
configuration, and app declarations to build the same tool-suggest
metadata.

That source-derived metadata is stable until the existing plugin manager
reloads its cache. Runtime eligibility still needs to reflect the
current install, disable, policy, app-overlap, and authentication state.

## What changed

- Add a bounded, in-memory tool-suggest metadata cache owned by
`PluginsManager`.
- Key cached metadata by plugin identity and source, while applying
authentication routing each time the metadata is projected.
- Invalidate the metadata alongside the existing loaded-plugin cache,
including its normal configuration, marketplace refresh, and
remote-installed-plugin invalidation paths.
- Guard against an in-flight load repopulating stale metadata after
invalidation.
- Keep marketplace membership and all runtime eligibility filtering live
rather than introducing a separate catalog or revision model.

## Impact

Repeated sampling requests reuse already-loaded plugin capability
metadata while retaining the existing plugin-manager lifecycle as the
single freshness boundary.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` — 252 passed
- Added focused coverage for cache invalidation and authentication
reprojection.

* apply-patch: carry paths as PathUri (#28854)

## Why

Allows the model to edit files that are hosted on a different OS than
where app-server is running.

## What

* Use `PathUri` for apply_patch-internal data structures
* Limit `PathUri` -> `AbsolutePathBuf` conversion to cases where the
inferred path convention matches the host OS, allows requiring valid
paths to pass to perms check
* Adds `PathConvention::path_segments()` for iterating over path
segments regardless of OS
* Handle cross-platform relative paths in path filename parsing for
sniffing a shell
* Ensure we can apply patches in the wine e2e test

* Add app-server current-time impl (varlatency 3/n) (#28835)

## What

Server should request:

```
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "currentTime/read",
  "params": {
    "threadId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-aaaaafdc2c11"
  }
}
```

Client should respond with something like:

```rust
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "currentTimeAt": 1781717655
  }
}
```

## Why

Sessions configured with `clock_source = "external"` need a
thread-specific external time source before inference. The system clock
remains the default production provider.

* Make auto-review on-request prompt more proactive (#26496)

## Why

`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.

## What changed

- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.

* [codex] Remove hardcoded app ID filters (#28947)

## Summary

- remove the duplicated originator-specific connector ID denylists
- stop filtering connector directory/accessibility results and
live/cached Codex Apps MCP tools by hardcoded connector ID
- remove the now-unused `codex-login` dependency from
`codex-utils-plugins`
- update regression coverage so formerly blocked connector IDs are
preserved

## Why

The client-side policy was duplicated across crates, used opaque IDs
without ownership or expiry information, and could drift between app
listing and MCP tool behavior. Server-provided visibility,
authorization, plugin discoverability, accessibility, enabled-state
handling, and consequential-tool approval templates remain unchanged.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `git diff --check`
- confirmed the final diff contains no hardcoded denylist symbols

A targeted `codex-mcp` test build spent an unusually long time in local
compilation/linking. Its first attempt exposed a test-only `PartialEq`
assertion issue, which was corrected. A follow-up non-linking `cargo
check -p codex-mcp --tests` was still running when this draft was
opened; CI should provide the complete Rust validation.

* TUI: improve unified mention selection visibility (#28959)

## Summary

[@milanglacier reported in
#28653](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s #28500
report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:

- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.

Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

## Testing

- Compiled `codex-cli` and tested the unified mentions picker in the
terminal.

* Emit Trusted MCP App Identity on Tool-Call Items (#27132)

## Summary

- Add optional `appContext` to app-server MCP tool-call items with
trusted `connectorId`, `linkId`, and `mcpAppResourceUri` metadata.
- Preserve that context across tool-call events, persisted history,
reconnects, and thread resume.
- Keep the deprecated top-level `mcpAppResourceUri` temporarily for
client migration.

The consumer contract is `{ appContext: { connectorId, linkId,
mcpAppResourceUri }, tool }`.

## Validation

- Full GitHub Actions suite passes, including CLA, Bazel tests, clippy,
release builds, and argument-comment lint.

* feat: opt ChatGPT auth into agent identity (#19049)

## Stack

This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:

- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.

[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.

## Summary

This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.

What changed:

- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path

This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.

## Testing

* [connectors] Ignore synthetic links for app accessibility (#28770)

Summary
- Stop treating Codex Apps MCP tools with
`_meta._codex_apps.synthetic_link: true` as evidence that a connector is
accessible in `app/list`.
- Preserve synthetic tools in the agent-facing MCP connector set so they
remain available for install/auth flows.
- Keep the app-list accessibility cache limited to connectors backed by
at least one non-synthetic tool.
- Add focused regression coverage for both sides of the boundary.

* [codex] Preserve remote plugin download status errors (#28863)

## Summary

- preserve the original HTTP status when a remote plugin bundle download
returns a non-success response
- retain at most 8 KiB of the error response body and annotate
truncation or body-read failures
- add regression coverage for an oversized error response

## Root cause

The non-success response path reused the normal size-limited body
reader. When an error response exceeded 8 KiB, that reader returned
`DownloadTooLarge` before the code constructed `DownloadStatus`, masking
the upstream HTTP status and response context.

## Impact

Remote plugin installation failures now retain the actionable upstream
HTTP status without allowing unbounded error bodies into logs.

## Validation

* core: load AGENTS.md from foreign environments (#28958)

## Why

Make it possible to load AGENTS.md from remote exec-servers whose OS is
different than app-server.

## What

- keep `AGENTS.md` discovery and provenance as `PathUri`, with
root-aware parent and ancestor traversal
- expose lifecycle instruction sources as legacy app-server path strings
in events while retaining `PathUri` internally
- preserve and test mixed POSIX and Windows paths in model context and
TUI status output
- cover remote Windows loading end to end by seeding the Wine prefix
through host filesystem APIs
- fix bug in `PathUri`'s parent() implementation that would erase
Windows drive letters

* [codex] Support marketplace plugin manifest fallback (#28789)

## Summary

Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a
discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries
now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads,
install, and non-curated cache refresh.

The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then
adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation
metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present.

## Details

- Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into
`MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as
`version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`,
`agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields
without a per-field translation list.
- Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`,
`homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface`
fields only when the nested values are absent.
- Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry
contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing
missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries.
- Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest,
including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only
an on-disk manifest.
- Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and
injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy.
Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback
path no longer needs an additional staging directory.
- Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the
existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.

* [codex] Remove child AGENTS.md prompt experiment (#28993)

## Why

`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.

## What changed

- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`

Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`

* core: log AGENTS.md paths as URIs (#28989)

## Why

No need to do path contortions when it's for our own logs.

## What

Follow up on a previous PR's nit and update the path-types skill for
future reference.

* core: keep remote exec on reported shell (#28983)

## Why

We need to avoid resolving shells on the app-server's host for remote
environments. We might make it possible to do fancier shell resolution
from remote envs but for now just require the model to produce a shell
that matches the environment's default.

This gets my e2e demo working for shell commands after #28854 moved
shell resolution to PathUri and caused remote envs to hit the fallback
shell when the shell wasn't available on the host.

## What

Remote `exec_command` calls now accept only the environment's reported
default shell name or exact path, and execute with that reported path.
Other explicit shells return a concise error. A Wine-backed integration
test covers explicit PowerShell execution in the Windows cwd.

* [codex] Reuse parsed plugin skills during session startup (#28844)

## Summary

- Preserve raw plugin skill-root snapshots in the matching loaded-plugin
cache entry, keyed by the effective plugin root identity including
namespace.
- Pass those snapshots through `SkillsLoadInput` as an optional preload,
so session startup reuses plugin parsing while ordinary skill loads pass
`None`.
- Keep plugin skill loading cohesive: the existing loaders accept the
optional snapshots directly, and uncached or marketplace-detail paths do
not create a cache.

## Why

Plugin discovery already parses plugin skills to determine available
capabilities. Cold session startup then scanned and parsed the same
roots again while building the skills snapshot.

This solves the same duplicate-work problem as #28623 while keeping
ownership narrow: `PluginsManager` creates and owns
`PluginSkillSnapshots` only for its loaded-plugin cache entry;
`SkillsService` consumes an optional clone. Entry replacement or
clearing naturally drops the snapshots, with no separate generation,
capacity policy, or watcher coupling.

* core: add UUIDv7 context window IDs (#28953)

## Why

The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.

## What changed

- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`

* [plugins] Refresh plugin and tool caches after remote install (#28951)

Summary
- Refresh the installed remote-plugin snapshot and Codex Apps tools
after completing a remote JIT install.
- Gate `completed: true` on every expected `app_connector_id` appearing
after the uncached `tools/list` refresh, while continuing to skip local
bundle verification for server-side installs.
- Keep the cached recommendations response and filter refreshed
installed remote IDs locally, so this does not add another
recommendations fetch.
- Add regression coverage for tools appearing after the hard refresh and
remaining absent after the refresh. The resumed model request sees the
refreshed tool router when installation completes.

Root Cause
- Remote suggestions from `openai-curated-remote` returned `true` before
taking the existing connector refresh path, leaving the resumed turn
with the pre-install Apps tool catalog.

Validation
- `just test -p codex-core request_plugin_install`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins

Seatbelt/network/timing issues, including plugin-install timeouts under
full-suite contention; the focused plugin-install runs pass.

* Always use AVAS for realtime WebRTC calls (#28856)

## Summary

- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.

## Notes

- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Validation

- Merged fresh `origin/main` at `83e6a786a2`.

* [codex] Assign response item IDs when recording history (#28814)

## Why

Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.

The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.

## What changed

- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.

`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-core

- `just test -p codex-core

* [codex] Skip curated repo sync for remote plugins (#29005)

## Summary

- skip the legacy `openai-curated` startup repository sync when remote
plugins are enabled and the current auth uses the Codex backend
- keep the curated sync for API-key, Bedrock, and unauthenticated
sessions that fall back to the local marketplace
- preserve configured marketplace upgrades and all remote plugin startup
warmups

## Why

The remote catalog owns plugin discovery and materialization only when
it is usable for the current auth mode. Starting the legacy curated
repository sync in that case performs an unnecessary Git/HTTP/archive
download and cache refresh. API-key and Bedrock sessions still require
the local curated marketplace, so they must continue syncing it.

## User impact

Codex startup no longer downloads or refreshes the local
`openai-curated` snapshot when the remote catalog is active. Behavior is
unchanged for auth modes that use the local curated marketplace.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

Rust tests were not run per the repository's local verification policy
for this narrow conditional change.

* [codex] add clock current-time tool (#29011)

## Summary
- expose `clock.curr_time` when current-time reminders are enabled
- query the session's configured time provider with the calling thread
id
- return the existing UTC reminder text for direct model calls
- return `{ "current_time": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC" }` in Code Mode

Clock lookup failures remain fatal, matching pre-inference reminder
behavior.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_tool_returns_the_latest_time`
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_current_time_returns_structured_result`
- `just fix -p codex-core`

* core: assign item IDs to compacted replacement history (#29012)

## Why

Remote v2 compaction can return replacement-history items without IDs.
Because replacement history is installed directly, those items bypass
normal history preparation and remain ID-less in later Responses
requests even when the `item_ids` feature is enabled.

## What changed

- Pass the active `TurnContext` into `replace_compacted_history`.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign missing IDs before installing and
persisting replacement history.
- Rebuild `CompactedItem` from the prepared history so live and
persisted replacement histories match.
- Add integration coverage requiring IDs on every ID-capable input item
in the initial, remote v2 compaction, and post-compaction requests.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids`
- `just test -p codex-core websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`
- `just test -p codex-core remote_compaction_parity_pre_turn_auto`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
thread_inject_items_adds_raw_response_items_to_thread_history`

* [codex] Support protected resource OAuth discovery (#29022)

## Why

Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.

## What changed

- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration

This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow

* [1/3] core: add remote environment connection lifecycle (#28674)

## Why

Remote environments can be registered before their exec-server is first
used. Starting the connection at registration time uses that startup
window, while sharing one startup result prevents background work and
capability calls from opening competing connections.

Keep initial startup simple: each environment makes one connection
attempt using its configured transport timeout. A failed initial attempt
is final for that environment, while an environment that disconnects
after connecting can still recover on a later operation.

## What changed

- Start URL and Noise environments in the background when they are added
to `EnvironmentManager`. Provider snapshots are fully validated before
connection work begins.
- Share one initial connection attempt and its saved result across
metadata, process, filesystem, and HTTP callers.
- Keep configured stdio environments lazy until first use so
registration does not launch a process.
- Tie background startup work to the environment lifetime so replacing
or dropping an environment cancels unfinished work.
- After an established client disconnects, share one fresh connection
attempt across concurrent callers. A failed attempt fails the current
operation without permanently preventing a later attempt.
- Store the shared lazy client directly on `Environment` and expose
small methods for starting, observing, and awaiting startup.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
turn_start_resolves_sticky_thread_local_environment_and_turn_overrides`

* [2/3] core: track starting environments in snapshots (#28683)

## Why

Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.

Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.

Depends on #28674.

## What changed

- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`

## Landing note

Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.

* [3/3] app-server: configure environment connection timeout (#29025)

## Why

Remote environments registered through `environment/add` currently use
the fixed 10-second WebSocket connection timeout. Slow-starting
executors need a caller-selected connection window, but this should not
add retry policy or couple exec-server behavior to Core’s
`deferred_executor` feature.

Make the timeout an optional part of the existing experimental request.
Existing clients continue using the current default, while callers that
know an executor may take longer can request a larger window explicitly.

Depends on #28683.

## What changed

- Add optional `connectTimeoutMs` to `EnvironmentAddParams` and document
it in the app-server README.
- Pass the optional timeout through `EnvironmentRequestProcessor` into
one `EnvironmentManager::upsert_environment()` path; the manager applies
the existing default when it is omitted.
- Preserve the existing single-attempt lifecycle. The configured value
controls WebSocket connection and handshake time for both initial
connection and later reconnects; initialization retains its separate
timeout.
- Add an app-server integration test that sends the real JSON-RPC
request and verifies a stalled handshake observes the requested timeout.

## Test plan

- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
environment_add_applies_connect_timeout`

## Rollout

This is additive and does not enable `deferred_executor`. Callers should
send a non-default timeout only after a compatible app-server is
deployed; omitted or `null` values retain the existing 10-second
default.

* Add per-turn multi-agent mode (#28685)

## Why

Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.

This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.

## What changed

- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.

Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.

## Not covered

- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.

## Stack

Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.

* Expose thread-level multi-agent mode (#28792)

## Why

Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.

The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.

## What changed

- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.

## Not covered

- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.

## Verification

- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`

The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.

Stacked on #28685. This PR contains only the thread initialization and
lifecycle/settings API layer.
