## Why
The argument-comment lint now has a packaged DotSlash artifact from
[#15198](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15198), so the normal repo
lint path should use that released payload instead of rebuilding the
lint from source every time.
That keeps `just clippy` and CI aligned with the shipped artifact while
preserving a separate source-build path for people actively hacking on
the lint crate.
The current alpha package also exposed two integration wrinkles that the
repo-side prebuilt wrapper needs to smooth over:
- the bundled Dylint library filename includes the host triple, for
example `@nightly-2025-09-18-aarch64-apple-darwin`, and Dylint derives
`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` from that filename
- on Windows, Dylint's driver path also expects `RUSTUP_HOME` to be
present in the environment
Without those adjustments, the prebuilt CI jobs fail during `cargo
metadata` or driver setup. This change makes the checked-in prebuilt
wrapper normalize the packaged library name to the plain
`nightly-2025-09-18` channel before invoking `cargo-dylint`, and it
teaches both the wrapper and the packaged runner source to infer
`RUSTUP_HOME` from `rustup show home` when the environment does not
already provide it.
After the prebuilt Windows lint job started running successfully, it
also surfaced a handful of existing anonymous literal callsites in
`windows-sandbox-rs`. This PR now annotates those callsites so the new
cross-platform lint job is green on the current tree.
## What Changed
- checked in the current
`tools/argument-comment-lint/argument-comment-lint` DotSlash manifest
- kept `tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` as the source-build wrapper
for lint development
- added `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` as the
normal enforcement path, using the checked-in DotSlash package and
bundled `cargo-dylint`
- updated `just clippy` and `just argument-comment-lint` to use the
prebuilt wrapper
- split `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` so source-package checks live in
a dedicated `argument_comment_lint_package` job, while the released lint
runs in an `argument_comment_lint_prebuilt` matrix on Linux, macOS, and
Windows
- kept the pinned `nightly-2025-09-18` toolchain install in the prebuilt
CI matrix, since the prebuilt package still relies on rustup-provided
toolchain components
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` to
normalize host-qualified nightly library filenames, keep the `rustup`
shim directory ahead of direct toolchain `cargo` binaries, and export
`RUSTUP_HOME` when needed for Windows Dylint driver setup
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/src/bin/argument-comment-lint.rs`
so future published DotSlash artifacts apply the same nightly-filename
normalization and `RUSTUP_HOME` inference internally
- fixed the remaining Windows lint violations in
`codex-rs/windows-sandbox-rs` by adding the required `/*param*/`
comments at the reported callsites
- documented the checked-in DotSlash file, wrapper split, archive
layout, nightly prerequisite, and Windows `RUSTUP_HOME` requirement in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- Split the feature system into a new `codex-features` crate.
- Cut `codex-core` and workspace consumers over to the new config and
warning APIs.

### Why
i'm working on something that parses and analyzes codex rollout logs,
and i'd like to have a schema for generating a parser/validator.
`codex app-server generate-internal-json-schema` writes an
`RolloutLine.json` file
while doing this, i noticed we have a writer <> reader mismatch issue on
`FunctionCallOutputPayload` and reasoning item ID -- added some schemars
annotations to fix those
### Test
```
$ just codex app-server generate-internal-json-schema --out ./foo
```
generates an `RolloutLine.json` file, which i validated against jsonl
files on disk
`just codex app-server --help` doesn't expose the
`generate-internal-json-schema` option by default, but you can do `just
codex app-server generate-internal-json-schema --help` if you know the
command
everything else still works

## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML
---
* -> #14652
* #14651
This PR replicates the `tui` code directory and creates a temporary
parallel `tui_app_server` directory. It also implements a new feature
flag `tui_app_server` to select between the two tui implementations.
Once the new app-server-based TUI is stabilized, we'll delete the old
`tui` directory and feature flag.
This PR is part of the effort to move the TUI on top of the app server.
In a previous PR, we introduced an in-process app server and moved
`exec` on top of it.
For the TUI, we want to do the migration in stages. The app server
doesn't currently expose all of the functionality required by the TUI,
so we're going to need to support a hybrid approach as we make the
transition.
This PR changes the TUI initialization to instantiate an in-process app
server and access its `AuthManager` and `ThreadManager` rather than
constructing its own copies. It also adds a placeholder TUI event
handler that will eventually translate app server events into TUI
events. App server notifications are accepted but ignored for now. It
also adds proper shutdown of the app server when the TUI terminates.
## Summary
- launch Windows sandboxed children on a private desktop instead of
`Winsta0\Default`
- make private desktop the default while keeping
`windows.sandbox_private_desktop=false` as the escape hatch
- centralize process launch through the shared
`create_process_as_user(...)` path
- scope the private desktop ACL to the launching logon SID
## Why
Today sandboxed Windows commands run on the visible shared desktop. That
leaves an avoidable same-desktop attack surface for window interaction,
spoofing, and related UI/input issues. This change moves sandboxed
commands onto a dedicated per-launch desktop by default so the sandbox
no longer shares `Winsta0\Default` with the user session.
The implementation stays conservative on security with no silent
fallback back to `Winsta0\Default`
If private-desktop setup fails on a machine, users can still opt out
explicitly with `windows.sandbox_private_desktop=false`.
## Validation
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
- elevated-path `codex exec` desktop-name probe returned
`CodexSandboxDesktop-*`
- elevated-path `codex exec` smoke sweep for shell commands, nested
`pwsh`, jobs, and hidden `notepad` launch
- unelevated-path full private-desktop compatibility sweep via `codex
exec` with `-c windows.sandbox=unelevated`
Fixes [#8889](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/8889).
## Summary
- Discover and use advertised MCP OAuth `scopes_supported` when no
explicit or configured scopes are present.
- Apply the same scope precedence across `mcp add`, `mcp login`, skill
dependency auto-login, and app-server MCP OAuth login.
- Keep discovered scopes ephemeral and non-persistent.
- Retry once without scopes for CLI and skill auto-login flows if the
OAuth provider rejects discovered scopes.
## Motivation
Some MCP servers advertise the scopes they expect clients to request
during OAuth, but Codex was ignoring that metadata and typically
starting OAuth with no scopes unless the user manually passed `--scopes`
or configured `server.scopes`.
That made compliant MCP servers harder to use out of the box and is the
behavior described in
[#8889](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/8889).
This change also brings our behavior in line with the MCP authorization
spec's scope selection guidance:
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/authorization#scope-selection-strategy
## Behavior
Scope selection now follows this order everywhere:
1. Explicit request scopes / CLI `--scopes`
2. Configured `server.scopes`
3. Discovered `scopes_supported`
4. Legacy empty-scope behavior
Compatibility notes:
- Existing working setups keep the same behavior because explicit and
configured scopes still win.
- Discovered scopes are never written back into config or token storage.
- If discovery is missing, malformed, or empty, behavior falls back to
the previous empty-scope path.
- App-server login gets the same precedence rules, but does not add a
transparent retry path in this change.
## Implementation
- Extend streamable HTTP OAuth discovery to parse and normalize
`scopes_supported`.
- Add a shared MCP scope resolver in `core` so all login entrypoints use
the same precedence rules.
- Preserve provider callback errors from the OAuth flow so CLI/skill
flows can safely distinguish provider rejections from other failures.
- Reuse discovered scopes from the existing OAuth support check where
possible instead of persisting new config.
## Summary
- restore `use_linux_sandbox_bwrap` as a removed feature key so older
`--enable` callers parse again
- keep it as a no-op by leaving runtime behavior unchanged
- add regression coverage for the legacy `--enable` path
## Testing
- Not run (updated and pushed quickly)
## Summary
- make bubblewrap the default Linux sandbox and keep
`use_legacy_landlock` as the only override
- remove `use_linux_sandbox_bwrap` from feature, config, schema, and
docs surfaces
- update Linux sandbox selection, CLI/config plumbing, and related
tests/docs to match the new default
- fold in the follow-up CI fixes for request-permissions responses and
Linux read-only sandbox error text
## Problem
Browser login failures historically leave support with an incomplete
picture. HARs can show that the browser completed OAuth and reached the
localhost callback, but they do not explain why the native client failed
on the final `/oauth/token` exchange. Direct `codex login` also relied
mostly on terminal stderr and the browser error page, so even when the
login crate emitted better sign-in diagnostics through TUI or app-server
flows, the one-shot CLI path still did not leave behind an easy artifact
to collect.
## Mental model
This implementation treats the browser page, the returned `io::Error`,
and the normal structured log as separate surfaces with different safety
requirements. The browser page and returned error preserve the detail
that operators need to diagnose failures. The structured log stays
narrower: it records reviewed lifecycle events, parsed safe fields, and
redacted transport errors without becoming a sink for secrets or
arbitrary backend bodies.
Direct `codex login` now adds a fourth support surface: a small
file-backed log at `codex-login.log` under the configured `log_dir`.
That artifact carries the same login-target events as the other
entrypoints without changing the existing stderr/browser UX.
## Non-goals
This does not add auth logging to normal runtime requests, and it does
not try to infer precise transport root causes from brittle string
matching. The scope remains the browser-login callback flow in the
`login` crate plus a direct-CLI wrapper that persists those events to
disk.
This also does not try to reuse the TUI logging stack wholesale. The TUI
path initializes feedback, OpenTelemetry, and other session-oriented
layers that are useful for an interactive app but unnecessary for a
one-shot login command.
## Tradeoffs
The implementation favors fidelity for caller-visible errors and
restraint for persistent logs. Parsed JSON token-endpoint errors are
logged safely by field. Non-JSON token-endpoint bodies remain available
to the returned error so CLI and browser surfaces still show backend
detail. Transport errors keep their real `reqwest` message, but attached
URLs are surgically redacted. Custom issuer URLs are sanitized before
logging.
On the CLI side, the code intentionally duplicates a narrow slice of the
TUI file-logging setup instead of sharing the full initializer. That
keeps `codex login` easy to reason about and avoids coupling it to
interactive-session layers that the command does not need.
## Architecture
The core auth behavior lives in `codex-rs/login/src/server.rs`. The
callback path now logs callback receipt, callback validation,
token-exchange start, token-exchange success, token-endpoint non-2xx
responses, and transport failures. App-server consumers still use this
same login-server path via `run_login_server(...)`, so the same
instrumentation benefits TUI, Electron, and VS Code extension flows.
The direct CLI path in `codex-rs/cli/src/login.rs` now installs a small
file-backed tracing layer for login commands only. That writes
`codex-login.log` under `log_dir` with login-specific targets such as
`codex_cli::login` and `codex_login::server`.
## Observability
The main signals come from the `login` crate target and are
intentionally scoped to sign-in. Structured logs include redacted issuer
URLs, redacted transport errors, HTTP status, and parsed token-endpoint
fields when available. The callback-layer log intentionally avoids
`%err` on token-endpoint failures so arbitrary backend bodies do not get
copied into the normal log file.
Direct `codex login` now leaves a durable artifact for both failure and
success cases. Example output from the new file-backed CLI path:
Failing callback:

### Overview
This PR:
- Updates `app-server-test-client` to load OTEL settings from
`$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` and initializes its own OTEL provider.
- Add real client root spans to app-server test client traces.
This updates `codex-app-server-test-client` so its Datadog traces
reflect the full client-driven flow instead of a set of server spans
stitched together under a synthetic parent.
Before this change, the test client generated a fake `traceparent` once
and reused it for every JSON-RPC request. That kept the requests in one
trace, but there was no real client span at the top, so Datadog ended up
showing the sequence in a slightly misleading way, where all RPCs were
anchored under `initialize`.
Now the test client:
- loads OTEL settings from the normal Codex config path, including
`$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` and existing --config overrides
- initializes tracing the same way other Codex binaries do when trace
export is enabled
- creates a real client root span for each scripted command
- creates per-request client spans for JSON-RPC methods like
`initialize`, `thread/start`, and `turn/start`
- injects W3C trace context from the current client span into
request.trace instead of reusing a fabricated carrier
This gives us a cleaner trace shape in Datadog:
- one trace URL for the whole scripted flow
- a visible client root span
- proper client/server parent-child relationships for each app-server
request
Support loading plugins.
Plugins can now be enabled via [plugins.<name>] in config.toml. They are
loaded as first-class entities through PluginsManager, and their default
skills/ and .mcp.json contributions are integrated into the existing
skills and MCP flows.
#### what
adds a `codex debug clear-memories` command to help with clearing all
memories state from disk, sqlite db, and marking threads as
`memory_mode=disabled` so they don't get resummarized when the
`memories` feature is re-enabled.
#### tests
add tests
Addresses bug https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12589
Builds on community PR #12763.
This adds `oauth_resource` support for MCP `streamable_http` servers and
wires it through the relevant config and login paths. It fixes the bug
where the configured OAuth resource was not reliably included in the
authorization request, causing MCP login to omit the expected
`resource` parameter.
## Why
`codex features list` currently prints features in declaration order
from `codex_core::features::FEATURES`. That makes the output harder to
scan when looking for a specific flag, and the order can change for
reasons unrelated to the CLI.
## What changed
- Sort the `codex features list` rows by feature key before printing
them in `codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs`.
- Add an integration test in `codex-rs/cli/tests/features.rs` that runs
`codex features list` and asserts the feature-name column is
alphabetized.
## Verification
- Added `features_list_is_sorted_alphabetically_by_feature_name`.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-cli`.
**PR Summary**
This PR adds embedded-only OTEL policy audit logging for
`codex-network-proxy` and threads audit metadata from `codex-core` into
managed proxy startup.
### What changed
- Added structured audit event emission in `network_policy.rs` with
target `codex_otel.network_proxy`.
- Emitted:
- `codex.network_proxy.domain_policy_decision` once per domain-policy
evaluation.
- `codex.network_proxy.block_decision` for non-domain denies.
- Added required policy/network fields, RFC3339 UTC millisecond
`event.timestamp`, and fallback defaults (`http.request.method="none"`,
`client.address="unknown"`).
- Added non-domain deny audit emission in HTTP/SOCKS handlers for
mode-guard and proxy-state denies, including unix-socket deny paths.
- Added `REASON_UNIX_SOCKET_UNSUPPORTED` and used it for unsupported
unix-socket auditing.
- Added `NetworkProxyAuditMetadata` to runtime/state, re-exported from
`lib.rs` and `state.rs`.
- Added `start_proxy_with_audit_metadata(...)` in core config, with
`start_proxy()` delegating to default metadata.
- Wired metadata construction in `codex.rs` from session/auth context,
including originator sanitization for OTEL-safe tagging.
- Updated `network-proxy/README.md` with embedded-mode audit schema and
behavior notes.
- Refactored HTTP block-audit emission to a small local helper to reduce
duplication.
- Preserved existing unix-socket proxy-disabled host/path behavior for
responses and blocked history while using an audit-only endpoint
override (`server.address="unix-socket"`, `server.port=0`).
### Explicit exclusions
- No standalone proxy OTEL startup work.
- No `main.rs` binary wiring.
- No `standalone_otel.rs`.
- No standalone docs/tests.
### Tests
- Extended `network_policy.rs` tests for event mapping, metadata
propagation, fallbacks, timestamp format, and target prefix.
- Extended HTTP tests to assert unix-socket deny block audit events.
- Extended SOCKS tests to cover deny emission from handler deny
branches.
- Added/updated core tests to verify audit metadata threading into
managed proxy state.
### Validation run
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` ✅
- `cargo test -p codex-core` ran with one unrelated flaky timeout
(`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`), and
the test passed when rerun directly ✅

## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs` previously
located `codex-execve-wrapper` by scanning `PATH` and sibling
directories. That lookup is brittle and can select the wrong binary when
the runtime environment differs from startup assumptions.
We already pass `codex-linux-sandbox` from `codex-arg0`;
`codex-execve-wrapper` should use the same startup-driven path plumbing.
## What changed
- Introduced `Arg0DispatchPaths` in `codex-arg0` to carry both helper
executable paths:
- `codex_linux_sandbox_exe`
- `main_execve_wrapper_exe`
- Updated `arg0_dispatch_or_else()` to pass `Arg0DispatchPaths` to
top-level binaries and preserve helper paths created in
`prepend_path_entry_for_codex_aliases()`.
- Threaded `Arg0DispatchPaths` through entrypoints in `cli`, `exec`,
`tui`, `app-server`, and `mcp-server`.
- Added `main_execve_wrapper_exe` to core configuration plumbing
(`Config`, `ConfigOverrides`, and `SessionServices`).
- Updated zsh-fork shell escalation to consume the configured
`main_execve_wrapper_exe` and removed path-sniffing fallback logic.
- Updated app-server config reload paths so reloaded configs keep the
same startup-provided helper executable paths.

## Testing
- `cargo check -p codex-arg0 -p codex-core -p codex-exec -p codex-tui -p
codex-mcp-server -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
- `cargo test -p codex-core tools::runtimes:🐚:unix_escalation:: --
--nocapture`
## Why
This PR switches the `shell_command` zsh-fork path over to
`codex-shell-escalation` so the new shell tool can use the shared
exec-wrapper/escalation protocol instead of the `zsh_exec_bridge`
implementation that was introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12052. `zsh_exec_bridge` relied on
UNIX domain sockets, which is not as tamper-proof as the FD-based
approach in `codex-shell-escalation`.
## What Changed
- Added a Unix zsh-fork runtime adapter in `core`
(`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`) that:
- runs zsh-fork commands through
`codex_shell_escalation::run_escalate_server`
- bridges exec-policy / approval decisions into `ShellActionProvider`
- executes escalated commands via a `ShellCommandExecutor` that calls
`process_exec_tool_call`
- Updated `ShellRuntime` / `ShellCommandHandler` / tool spec wiring to
select a `shell_command` backend (`classic` vs `zsh-fork`) while leaving
the generic `shell` tool path unchanged.
- Removed the `zsh_exec_bridge`-based session service and deleted
`core/src/zsh_exec_bridge/mod.rs`.
- Moved exec-wrapper entrypoint dispatch to `arg0` by handling the
`codex-execve-wrapper` arg0 alias there, and removed the old
`codex_core::maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode()` hooks from `cli` and
`app-server` mains.
- Added the needed `codex-shell-escalation` dependencies for `core` and
`arg0`.
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-core
shell_zsh_fork_prefers_shell_command_over_unified_exec`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server turn_start_shell_zsh_fork --
--nocapture`
- verifies zsh-fork command execution and approval flows through the new
backend
- includes subcommand approve/decline coverage using the shared zsh
DotSlash fixture in `app-server/tests/suite/zsh`
- To test manually, I added the following to `~/.codex/config.toml`:
```toml
zsh_path = "/Users/mbolin/code/codex3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/zsh"
[features]
shell_zsh_fork = true
```
Then I ran `just c` to run the dev build of Codex with these changes and
sent it the message:
```
run `echo $0`
```
And it replied with:
```
echo $0 printed:
/Users/mbolin/code/codex3/codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/zsh
In this tool context, $0 reflects the script path used to invoke the shell, not just zsh.
```
so the tool appears to be wired up correctly.
## Notes
- The zsh subcommand-decline integration test now uses `rm` under a
`WorkspaceWrite` sandbox. The previous `/usr/bin/true` scenario is
auto-allowed by the new `shell-escalation` policy path, which no longer
produces subcommand approval prompts.
Summary
- mark `output-last-message` as a global exec flag so it can follow
subcommands like `resume`
- add regression tests in both `cli` and `exec` crates verifying the
flag order works when invoking `resume`
Fixes#12538
## Why
The zsh integration tests were still brittle in two ways:
- they relied on `CODEX_TEST_ZSH_PATH` / environment-specific setup, so
they often did not exercise the patched zsh fork that `shell-tool-mcp`
ships
- once the tests consistently used the vendored zsh fork, they exposed
real Linux-specific zsh-fork issues in CI
In particular, the Linux failures were not just test noise:
- the zsh-fork launch path was dropping `ExecRequest.arg0`, so Linux
`codex-linux-sandbox` arg0 dispatch did not run and zsh wrapper-mode
could receive malformed arguments
- the
`turn_start_shell_zsh_fork_subcommand_decline_marks_parent_declined_v2`
test uses the zsh exec bridge (which talks to the parent over a Unix
socket), but Linux restricted sandbox seccomp denies `connect(2)`,
causing timeouts on `ubuntu-24.04` x86/arm
This PR makes the zsh tests consistently run against the intended
vendored zsh fork and fixes/hardens the zsh-fork path so the Linux CI
signal is meaningful.
## What Changed
- Added a single shared test-only DotSlash file for the patched zsh fork
at `codex-rs/exec-server/tests/suite/zsh` (analogous to the existing
`bash` test resource).
- Updated both app-server and exec-server zsh tests to use that shared
DotSlash zsh (no duplicate zsh DotSlash file, no `CODEX_TEST_ZSH_PATH`
dependency).
- Updated the app-server zsh-fork test helper to resolve the shared
DotSlash zsh and avoid silently falling back to host zsh.
- Kept the app-server zsh-fork tests configured via `config.toml`, using
a test wrapper path where needed to force `zsh -df` (and rewrite `-lc`
to `-c`) for the subcommand-decline test.
- Hardened the app-server subcommand-decline zsh-fork test for CI
variability:
- tolerate an extra `/responses` POST with a no-op mock response
- tolerate non-target approval ordering while remaining strict on the
two `/usr/bin/true` approvals and decline behavior
- use `DangerFullAccess` on Linux for this one test because it validates
zsh approval flow, not Linux sandbox socket restrictions
- Fixed zsh-fork process launching on Linux by preserving `req.arg0` in
`ZshExecBridge::execute_shell_request(...)` so `codex-linux-sandbox`
arg0 dispatch continues to work.
- Moved `maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode()` under
`arg0_dispatch_or_else(...)` in `app-server` and `cli` so wrapper-mode
handling coexists correctly with arg0-dispatched helper modes.
- Consolidated duplicated `dotslash -- fetch` resolution logic into
shared test support (`core/tests/common/lib.rs`).
- Updated `codex-rs/exec-server/tests/suite/accept_elicitation.rs` to
use DotSlash zsh and hardened the zsh elicitation test for Bazel/zsh
differences by:
- resolving an absolute `git` path
- running `git init --quiet .`
- asserting success / `.git` creation instead of relying on banner text
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server turn_start_zsh_fork -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec-server accept_elicitation -- --nocapture`
- `bazel test //codex-rs/exec-server:exec-server-all-test
--test_output=streamed --test_arg=--nocapture
--test_arg=accept_elicitation_for_prompt_rule_with_zsh`
- CI (`rust-ci`) on the final cleaned commit: `Tests — ubuntu-24.04 -
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` and `Tests — ubuntu-24.04-arm -
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` passed in [run
22291424358](https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/22291424358)
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`
## Why
Compiling `codex-rs/core` is a bottleneck for local iteration, so this
change continues the ongoing extraction of config-related functionality
out of `codex-core` and into `codex-config`.
The goal is not just to move code, but to reduce `codex-core` ownership
and indirection so more code depends on `codex-config` directly.
## What Changed
- Moved config diagnostics logic from
`core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` into
`config/src/diagnostics.rs`.
- Updated `codex-core` to use `codex-config` diagnostics types/functions
directly where possible.
- Removed the `core/src/config_loader/diagnostics.rs` shim module
entirely; the remaining `ConfigToml`-specific calls are in
`core/src/config_loader/mod.rs`.
- Moved `CONFIG_TOML_FILE` into `codex-config` and updated existing
references to use `codex_config::CONFIG_TOML_FILE` directly.
- Added a direct `codex-config` dependency to `codex-cli` for its
`CONFIG_TOML_FILE` use.
## Summary
Implements a configurable MCP OAuth callback URL override for `codex mcp
login` and app-server OAuth login flows, including support for non-local
callback endpoints (for example, devbox ingress URLs).
## What changed
- Added new config key: `mcp_oauth_callback_url` in
`~/.codex/config.toml`.
- OAuth authorization now uses `mcp_oauth_callback_url` as
`redirect_uri` when set.
- Callback handling validates the callback path against the configured
redirect URI path.
- Listener bind behavior is now host-aware:
- local callback URL hosts (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `::1`) bind to
`127.0.0.1`
- non-local callback URL hosts bind to `0.0.0.0`
- `mcp_oauth_callback_port` remains supported and is used for the
listener port.
- Wired through:
- CLI MCP login flow
- App-server MCP OAuth login flow
- Skill dependency OAuth login flow
- Updated config schema and config tests.
## Why
Some environments need OAuth callbacks to land on a specific reachable
URL (for example ingress in remote devboxes), not loopback. This change
allows that while preserving local defaults for existing users.
## Backward compatibility
- No behavior change when `mcp_oauth_callback_url` is unset.
- Existing `mcp_oauth_callback_port` behavior remains intact.
- Local callback flows continue binding to loopback by default.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client callback -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib mcp_oauth_callback -- --nocapture`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server -p codex-rmcp-client`
## Example config
```toml
mcp_oauth_callback_port = 5555
mcp_oauth_callback_url = "https://<devbox>-<namespace>.gateway.<cluster>.internal.api.openai.org/callback"

### Summary
This PR introduces a feature-gated native shell runtime path that routes
shell execution through a patched zsh exec bridge, removing MCP-specific
behavior from the shell hot path while preserving existing
CommandExecution lifecycle semantics.
When shell_zsh_fork is enabled, shell commands run via patched zsh with
per-`execve` interception through EXEC_WRAPPER. Core receives wrapper
IPC requests over a Unix socket, applies existing approval policy, and
returns allow/deny before the subcommand executes.
### What’s included
**1) New zsh exec bridge runtime in core**
- Wrapper-mode entrypoint (maybe_run_zsh_exec_wrapper_mode) for
EXEC_WRAPPER invocations.
- Per-execution Unix-socket IPC handling for wrapper requests/responses.
- Approval callback integration using existing core approval
orchestration.
- Streaming stdout/stderr deltas to existing command output event
pipeline.
- Error handling for malformed IPC, denial/abort, and execution
failures.
**2) Session lifecycle integration**
SessionServices now owns a `ZshExecBridge`.
Session startup initializes bridge state; shutdown tears it down
cleanly.
**3) Shell runtime routing (feature-gated)**
When `shell_zsh_fork` is enabled:
- Build execution env/spec as usual.
- Add wrapper socket env wiring.
- Execute via `zsh_exec_bridge.execute_shell_request(...)` instead of
the regular shell path.
- Non-zsh-fork behavior remains unchanged.
**4) Config + feature wiring**
- Added `Feature::ShellZshFork` (under development).
- Added config support for `zsh_path` (optional absolute path to patched
zsh):
- `Config`, `ConfigToml`, `ConfigProfile`, overrides, and schema.
- Session startup validates that `zsh_path` exists/usable when zsh-fork
is enabled.
- Added startup test for missing `zsh_path` failure mode.
**5) Seatbelt/sandbox updates for wrapper IPC**
- Extended seatbelt policy generation to optionally allow outbound
connection to explicitly permitted Unix sockets.
- Wired sandboxing path to pass wrapper socket path through to seatbelt
policy generation.
- Added/updated seatbelt tests for explicit socket allow rule and
argument emission.
**6) Runtime entrypoint hooks**
- This allows the same binary to act as the zsh wrapper subprocess when
invoked via `EXEC_WRAPPER`.
**7) Tool selection behavior**
- ToolsConfig now prefers ShellCommand type when shell_zsh_fork is
enabled.
- Added test coverage for precedence with unified-exec enabled.
### Description
#### Summary
Introduces the core plumbing required for structured network approvals
#### What changed
- Added structured network policy decision modeling in core.
- Added approval payload/context types needed for network approval
semantics.
- Wired shell/unified-exec runtime plumbing to consume structured
decisions.
- Updated related core error/event surfaces for structured handling.
- Updated protocol plumbing used by core approval flow.
- Included small CLI debug sandbox compatibility updates needed by this
layer.
#### Why
establishes the minimal backend foundation for network approvals without
yet changing high-level orchestration or TUI behavior.
#### Notes
- Behavior remains constrained by existing requirements/config gating.
- Follow-up PRs in the stack handle orchestration, UX, and app-server
integration.

## Why
We currently carry multiple permission-related concepts directly on
`Config` for shell/unified-exec behavior (`approval_policy`,
`sandbox_policy`, `network`, `shell_environment_policy`,
`windows_sandbox_mode`).
Consolidating these into one in-memory struct makes permission handling
easier to reason about and sets up the next step: supporting named
permission profiles (`[permissions.PROFILE_NAME]`) without changing
behavior now.
This change is mostly mechanical: it updates existing callsites to go
through `config.permissions`, but it does not yet refactor those
callsites to take a single `Permissions` value in places where multiple
permission fields are still threaded separately.
This PR intentionally **does not** change the on-disk `config.toml`
format yet and keeps compatibility with legacy config keys.
## What Changed
- Introduced `Permissions` in `core/src/config/mod.rs`.
- Added `Config::permissions` and moved effective runtime permission
fields under it:
- `approval_policy`
- `sandbox_policy`
- `network`
- `shell_environment_policy`
- `windows_sandbox_mode`
- Updated config loading/building so these effective values are still
derived from the same existing config inputs and constraints.
- Updated Windows sandbox helpers/resolution to read/write via
`permissions`.
- Threaded the new field through all permission consumers across core
runtime, app-server, CLI/exec, TUI, and sandbox summary code.
- Updated affected tests to reference `config.permissions.*`.
- Renamed the struct/field from
`EffectivePermissions`/`effective_permissions` to
`Permissions`/`permissions` and aligned variable naming accordingly.
## Verification

Reapply "Add app-server transport layer with websocket support" with
additional fixes from https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11313/changes
to avoid deadlocking.
This reverts commit 47356ff83c.
## Summary
To avoid deadlocking when queues are full, we maintain separate tokio
tasks dedicated to incoming vs outgoing event handling
- split the app-server main loop into two tasks in
`run_main_with_transport`
- inbound handling (`transport_event_rx`)
- outbound handling (`outgoing_rx` + `thread_created_rx`)
- separate incoming and outgoing websocket tasks
## Validation
Integration tests, testing thoroughly e2e in codex app w/ >10 concurrent
requests

We are removing feature-gated shared crates from the `codex-rs`
workspace. `codex-common` grouped several unrelated utilities behind
`[features]`, which made dependency boundaries harder to reason about
and worked against the ongoing effort to eliminate feature flags from
workspace crates.
Splitting these utilities into dedicated crates under `utils/` aligns
this area with existing workspace structure and keeps each dependency
explicit at the crate boundary.
## What changed
- Removed `codex-rs/common` (`codex-common`) from workspace members and
workspace dependencies.
- Added six new utility crates under `codex-rs/utils/`:
- `codex-utils-cli`
- `codex-utils-elapsed`
- `codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-oss`
- `codex-utils-fuzzy-match`
- Migrated the corresponding modules out of `codex-common` into these
crates (with tests), and added matching `BUILD.bazel` targets.
- Updated direct consumers to use the new crates instead of
`codex-common`:
- `codex-rs/cli`
- `codex-rs/tui`
- `codex-rs/exec`
- `codex-rs/app-server`
- `codex-rs/mcp-server`
- `codex-rs/chatgpt`
- `codex-rs/cloud-tasks`
- Updated workspace lockfile entries to reflect the new dependency graph
and removal of `codex-common`.
As of this PR, `SessionServices` retains a
`Option<StartedNetworkProxy>`, if appropriate.
Now the `network` field on `Config` is `Option<NetworkProxySpec>`
instead of `Option<NetworkProxy>`.
Over in `Session::new()`, we invoke `NetworkProxySpec::start_proxy()` to
create the `StartedNetworkProxy`, which is a new struct that retains the
`NetworkProxy` as well as the `NetworkProxyHandle`. (Note that `Drop` is
implemented for `NetworkProxyHandle` to ensure the proxies are shutdown
when it is dropped.)
The `NetworkProxy` from the `StartedNetworkProxy` is threaded through to
the appropriate places.

Summary
- add a `required` flag for MCP servers everywhere config/CLI data is
touched so mandatory helpers can be round-tripped
- have `codex exec` and `codex app-server` thread start/resume fail fast
when required MCPs fail to initialize
- Adds --listen <URL> to codex app-server with two listen modes:
- stdio:// (default, existing behavior)
- ws://IP:PORT (new websocket transport)
- Refactors message routing to be connection-aware:
- Tracks per-connection session state (initialize/experimental
capability)
- Routes responses/errors to the originating connection
- Broadcasts server notifications/requests to initialized connections
- Updates initialization semantics to be per connection (not
process-global), and updates app-server docs accordingly.
- Adds websocket accept/read/write handling (JSON-RPC per text frame,
ping/pong handling, connection lifecycle events).
Testing
- Unit tests for transport URL parsing and targeted response/error
routing.
- New websocket integration test validating:
- per-connection initialization requirements
- no cross-connection response leakage
- same request IDs on different connections route independently.
So that the rest of the codebase (like TUI) don't need to be concerned
whether ChatGPT auth was handled by Codex itself or passed in via
app-server's external auth mode.
## Summary
This PR introduces a gated Bubblewrap (bwrap) Linux sandbox path. The
curent Linux sandbox path relies on in-process restrictions (including
Landlock). Bubblewrap gives us a more uniform filesystem isolation
model, especially explicit writable roots with the option to make some
directories read-only and granular network controls.
This is behind a feature flag so we can validate behavior safely before
making it the default.
- Added temporary rollout flag:
- `features.use_linux_sandbox_bwrap`
- Preserved existing default path when the flag is off.
- In Bubblewrap mode:
- Added internal retry without /proc when /proc mount is not permitted
by the host/container.
## Problem being solved
- We need a single, reliable way to mark app-server API surface as
experimental so that:
1. the runtime can reject experimental usage unless the client opts in
2. generated TS/JSON schemas can exclude experimental methods/fields for
stable clients.
Right now that’s easy to drift or miss when done ad-hoc.
## How to declare experimental methods and fields
- **Experimental method**: add `#[experimental("method/name")]` to the
`ClientRequest` variant in `client_request_definitions!`.
- **Experimental field**: on the params struct, derive `ExperimentalApi`
and annotate the field with `#[experimental("method/name.field")]` + set
`inspect_params: true` for the method variant so
`ClientRequest::experimental_reason()` inspects params for experimental
fields.
## How the macro solves it
- The new derive macro lives in
`codex-rs/codex-experimental-api-macros/src/lib.rs` and is used via
`#[derive(ExperimentalApi)]` plus `#[experimental("reason")]`
attributes.
- **Structs**:
- Generates `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason(&self)` that checks
only annotated fields.
- The “presence” check is type-aware:
- `Option<T>`: `is_some_and(...)` recursively checks inner.
- `Vec`/`HashMap`/`BTreeMap`: must be non-empty.
- `bool`: must be `true`.
- Other types: considered present (returns `true`).
- Registers each experimental field in an `inventory` with `(type_name,
serialized field name, reason)` and exposes `EXPERIMENTAL_FIELDS` for
that type. Field names are converted from `snake_case` to `camelCase`
for schema/TS filtering.
- **Enums**:
- Generates an exhaustive `match` returning `Some(reason)` for annotated
variants and `None` otherwise (no wildcard arm).
- **Wiring**:
- Runtime gating uses `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason()` in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` to reject requests unless
`InitializeParams.capabilities.experimental_api == true`.
- Schema/TS export filters use the inventory list and
`EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_METHODS` from `client_request_definitions!` to
strip experimental methods/fields when `experimental_api` is false.
