This PR reorganizes things slightly so that:
- Instead of a single multitool executable, `codex-exec-server`, we now
have two executables:
- `codex-exec-mcp-server` to launch the MCP server
- `codex-execve-wrapper` is the `execve(2)` wrapper to use with the
`BASH_EXEC_WRAPPER` environment variable
- `BASH_EXEC_WRAPPER` must be a single executable: it cannot be a
command string composed of an executable with args (i.e., it no longer
adds the `escalate` subcommand, as before)
- `codex-exec-mcp-server` takes `--bash` and `--execve` as options.
Though if `--execve` is not specified, the MCP server will check the
directory containing `std::env::current_exe()` and attempt to use the
file named `codex-execve-wrapper` within it. In development, this works
out since these executables are side-by-side in the `target/debug`
folder.
With respect to testing, this also fixes an important bug in
`dummy_exec_policy()`, as I was using `ends_with()` as if it applied to
a `String`, but in this case, it is used with a `&Path`, so the
semantics are slightly different.
Putting this all together, I was able to test this by running the
following:
```
~/code/codex/codex-rs$ npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
./target/debug/codex-exec-mcp-server --bash ~/code/bash/bash
```
If I try to run `git status` in `/Users/mbolin/code/codex` via the
`shell` tool from the MCP server:
<img width="1589" height="1335" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9db6aea8-7fbc-4675-8b1f-ec446685d6c4"
/>
then I get prompted with the following elicitation, as expected:
<img width="1589" height="1335" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21b68fe0-494d-4562-9bad-0ddc55fc846d"
/>
Though a current limitation is that the `shell` tool defaults to a
timeout of 10s, which means I only have 10s to respond to the
elicitation. Ideally, the time spent waiting for a response from a human
should not count against the timeout for the command execution. I will
address this in a subsequent PR.

This closes#6748 by implementing fallback to
`model_family.default_reasoning_effort` in `reasoning_effort` display of
`/status` when no `model_reasoning_effort` is set in the configuration.
## common/src/config_summary.rs
- `create_config_summary_entries` now fills the "reasoning effort" entry
with the explicit `config.model_reasoning_effort` when present and falls
back to `config.model_family.default_reasoning_effort` when it is
`None`, instead of emitting the literal string `none`.
- This ensures downstream consumers such as `tui/src/status/helpers.rs`
continue to work unchanged while automatically picking up model-family
defaults when the user has not selected a reasoning effort.
## tui/src/status/helpers.rs / core/src/model_family.rs
`ModelFamily::default_reasoning_effort` metadata is set to `medium` for
both `gpt-5*-codex` and `gpt-5` models following the default behaviour
of the API and recommendation of the codebase:
- per https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create
`gpt-5` defaults to `medium` reasoning when no preset is passed
- there is no mention of the preset for `gpt-5.1-codex` in the API docs
but `medium` is the default setting for `gpt-5.1-codex` as per
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/snapshots/codex_tui__chatwidget__tests__model_reasoning_selection_popup.snap`

Fix world-writable audit false positives by expanding generic
permissions with MapGenericMask and then checking only concrete write
bits. The earlier check looked for FILE_GENERIC_WRITE/generic masks
directly, which shares bits with read permissions and could flag an
Everyone read ACE as writable.
This PR introduces an extra layer of abstraction to prepare us for the
migration to execpolicy2:
- introduces a new trait, `EscalationPolicy`, whose `determine_action()`
method is responsible for producing the `EscalateAction`
- the existing `ExecPolicy` typedef is changed to return an intermediate
`ExecPolicyOutcome` instead of `EscalateAction`
- the default implementation of `EscalationPolicy`,
`McpEscalationPolicy`, composes `ExecPolicy`
- the `ExecPolicyOutcome` includes `codex_execpolicy2::Decision`, which
has a `Prompt` variant
- when `McpEscalationPolicy` gets `Decision::Prompt` back from
`ExecPolicy`, it prompts the user via an MCP elicitation and maps the
result into an `ElicitationAction`
- now that the end user can reply to an elicitation with `Decline` or
`Cancel`, we introduce a new variant, `EscalateAction::Deny`, which the
client handles by returning exit code `1` without running anything
Note the way the elicitation is created is still not quite right, but I
will fix that once we have things running end-to-end for real in a
follow-up PR.
Expand the rate-limit cache/TUI: store credit snapshots alongside
primary and secondary windows, render “Credits” when the backend reports
they exist (unlimited vs rounded integer balances)
This PR allows clients to render historical messages when resuming a
thread via `thread/resume` by reading from the list of `EventMsg`
payloads loaded from the rollout, and then transforming them into Turns
and ThreadItems to be returned on the `Thread` object.
This is implemented by leveraging `SessionConfiguredNotification` which
returns this list of `EventMsg` objects when resuming a conversation,
and then applying a stateful `ThreadHistoryBuilder` that parses from
this EventMsg log and transforms it into Turns and ThreadItems.
Note that we only persist a subset of `EventMsg`s in a rollout as
defined in `policy.rs`, so we lose fidelity whenever we resume a thread
compared to when we streamed the thread's turns originally. However,
this behavior is at parity with the legacy API.
## Summary
Setting `/approvals` before the start of a conversation was not updating
the environment_context for a conversation. Not sure exactly when this
problem was introduced, but this should reduce model confusion
dramatically.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit test to reproduce bug, confirmed fix with update
- [x] Tested locally
## Summary
On app-server startup, detect whether the experimental sandbox is
enabled, and send a notification .
**Note**
New conversations will not respect the feature because we [ignore cli
overrides in
NewConversation](a75321a64c/codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs (L1237-L1252)).
However, this should be okay, since we don't actually use config for
this, we use a [global
variable](87cce88f48/codex-rs/core/src/safety.rs (L105-L110)).
We should carefully unwind this setup at some point.
## Testing
- [ ] In progress: testing locally

This adds the following fields to `ThreadStartResponse` and
`ThreadResumeResponse`:
```rust
pub model: String,
pub model_provider: String,
pub cwd: PathBuf,
pub approval_policy: AskForApproval,
pub sandbox: SandboxPolicy,
pub reasoning_effort: Option<ReasoningEffort>,
```
This is important because these fields are optional in
`ThreadStartParams` and `ThreadResumeParams`, so the caller needs to be
able to determine what values were ultimately used to start/resume the
conversation. (Though note that any of these could be changed later
between turns in the conversation.)
Though to get this information reliably, it must be read from the
internal `SessionConfiguredEvent` that is created in response to the
start of a conversation. Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` (as defined in
`codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`) did not have all of these fields, a
number of them had to be added as part of this PR.
Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` is referenced in many tests, test
instances of `SessionConfiguredEvent` had to be updated, as well, which
is why this PR touches so many files.
similar to logic in
`codex/codex-rs/exec/src/event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs`.
translation of v1 -> v2 events:
`codex/event/task_complete` -> `turn/completed`
`codex/event/turn_aborted` -> `turn/completed` with `interrupted` status
`codex/event/error` -> `turn/completed` with `error` status
this PR also makes `items` field in `Turn` optional. For now, we only
populate it when we resume a thread, and leave it as None for all other
places until we properly rewrite core to keep track of items.

```

< "id": "0",
< "items": [],
< "status": "interrupted"

This PR fixes the `release_event_does_not_change_selection` test so it
doesn't cause an extra `config.toml` to be emitted in the sources when
running the tests locally. Prior to this fix, I needed to delete this
file every time I ran the tests to prevent it from showing up as an
uncommitted source file.
The `generated_ts_has_no_optional_nullable_fields` test was occasionally
failing on slow CI nodes because of a timeout. This change reduces the
work done by the test. It adds some "options" for the `generate_ts`
function so it can skip work that's not needed for the test.
