- Merge `model` and `reasoning_effort` under collaboration modes.
- Add additional instructions for custom collaboration mode
- Default to Custom to not change behavior
Summary:
- Add forked_from to SessionMeta/SessionConfiguredEvent and persist it
for forked sessions.
- Surface forked_from in /status for tui + tui2 and add snapshots.
Add support for returning threads by either `created_at` OR `updated_at`
descending. Previously core always returned threads ordered by
`created_at`.
This PR:
- updates core to be able to list threads by `updated_at` OR
`created_at` descending based on what the caller wants
- also update `thread/list` in app-server to expose this (default to
`created_at` if not specified)
All existing codepaths (app-server, TUI) still default to `created_at`,
so no behavior change is expected with this PR.
**Implementation**
To sort by `updated_at` is a bit nontrivial (whereas `created_at` is
easy due to the way we structure the folders and filenames on disk,
which are all based on `created_at`).
The most naive way to do this without introducing a cache file or sqlite
DB (which we have to implement/maintain) is to scan files in reverse
`created_at` order on disk, and look at the file's mtime (last modified
timestamp according to the filesystem) until we reach `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
(currently set to 10,000). Then, we can return the most recent N
threads.
Based on some quick and dirty benchmarking on my machine with ~1000
rollout files, calling `thread/list` with limit 50, the `updated_at`
path is slower as expected due to all the I/O:
- updated-at: average 103.10 ms
- created-at: average 41.10 ms
Those absolute numbers aren't a big deal IMO, but we can certainly
optimize this in a followup if needed by introducing more state stored
on disk.
**Caveat**
There's also a limitation in that any files older than `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
will be excluded, which means if a user continues a REALLY old thread,
it's possible to not be included. In practice that should not be too big
of an issue.
If a user makes...
- 1000 rollouts/day → threads older than 10 days won't show up
- 100 rollouts/day → ~100 days
If this becomes a problem for some reason, even more motivation to
implement an updated_at cache.
Implemented /fork to fork the current session directly (no picker),
handling it via a new ForkCurrentSession app event in both tui and tui2.
Updated slash command descriptions/tooltips and adjusted the fork tests
accordingly. Removed the unused in-session fork picker event.
- capture the header from SSE/WS handshakes, store it per
ModelClientSession using `Oncelock`, echo it on turn-scoped requests,
and add SSE+WS integration tests for within-turn persistence +
cross-turn reset.
- keep `x-codex-turn-state` sticky within a user turn to maintain
routing continuity for retries/tool follow-ups.
PR #9245 made `codex resume --last` honor cwd, but I forgot to make the
same change for `codex exec resume --last`. This PR fixes the
inconsistency.
This addresses #8700
A thread can now be spawned by another thread. In order to process the
approval requests of such sub-threads, we need to detect those event and
show them in the TUI.
This is a temporary solution while the UX is being figured out. This PR
should be reverted once done
Fixes#7919.
This PR addresses a TUI display bug where the "Worked for" separator
would appear prematurely during the planning stage.
**Changes:**
- Added `had_work_activity` flag to `ChatWidget` to track if actual work
(exec commands, MCP tool calls, patches) was performed in the current
turn.
- Updated `handle_streaming_delta` to only display the
`FinalMessageSeparator` if both `needs_final_message_separator` AND
`had_work_activity` are true.
- Updated `handle_exec_end_now`, `handle_patch_apply_end_now`, and
`handle_mcp_end_now` to set `had_work_activity = true`.
**Verification:**
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-tui` to ensure no regressions.
- Manual verification confirms the separator now only appears after
actual work is completed.

The second part of breaking up PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
Summary:
- Add `TextElement` / `ByteRange` to protocol user inputs and user
message events with defaults.
- Thread `text_elements` through app-server v1/v2 request handling and
history rebuild.
- Preserve UI metadata only in user input/events (not `ContentItem`)
while keeping local image attachments in user events for rehydration.
Details:
- Protocol: `UserInput::Text` carries `text_elements`;
`UserMessageEvent` carries `text_elements` + `local_images`.
Serialization includes empty vectors for backward compatibility.
- app-server-protocol: v1 defines `V1TextElement` / `V1ByteRange` in
camelCase with conversions; v2 uses its own camelCase wrapper.
- app-server: v1/v2 input mapping includes `text_elements`; thread
history rebuilds include them.
- Core: user event emission preserves UI metadata while model history
stays clean; history replay round-trips the metadata.
## Summary
- When a user accepts an MCP elicitation request, send `content:
Some(json!({}))` instead of `None`
- MCP servers that use elicitation expect content to be present when
action is Accept
- This matches the expected behavior shown in tests at
`exec-server/tests/common/lib.rs:171`
## Root Cause
In `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`, the `resolve_elicitation` function
always sent `content: None`:
```rust
let response = ElicitationResponse {
action,
content: None, // Always None, even for Accept
};
```
## Fix
Send an empty object when accepting:
```rust
let content = match action {
ElicitationAction::Accept => Some(serde_json::json!({})),
ElicitationAction::Decline | ElicitationAction::Cancel => None,
};
```
## Test plan
- [x] Code compiles with `cargo check -p codex-core`
- [x] Formatted with `just fmt`
- [ ] Integration test `accept_elicitation_for_prompt_rule` (requires
MCP server binary)
Fixes#9053
moving `web_search` rollout serverside, so need a way to explicitly
disable search + signal eligibility from the client.
- Add `x‑oai‑web‑search‑eligible` header that signifies whether the
request can have web search.
- Only attach the `web_search` tool when the resolved `WebSearchMode` is
`Live` or `Cached`.
We’re introducing a new SKILL.toml to hold skill metadata so Codex can
deliver a richer Skills experience.
Initial focus is the interface block:
```
[interface]
display_name = "Optional user-facing name"
short_description = "Optional user-facing description"
icon_small = "./assets/small-400px.png"
icon_large = "./assets/large-logo.svg"
brand_color = "#3B82F6"
default_prompt = "Optional surrounding prompt to use the skill with"
```
All fields are exposed via the app server API.
display_name and short_description are consumed by the TUI.
A recent change in commit ccba737d26 modified the styling of the
placeholder text (e.g. "Implement {feature}") in the input box of the
CLI, changing it from non-italic to italic. I think this was likely
unintentional. It results in a bad display appearance on some terminal
emulators, and several users have complained about it.
This change switches back to non-italic styling, restoring the older
behavior.
It addresses #9262
**Description**
This removes the pre‑Landlock read‑only bind‑mount step from the Linux
sandbox so filesystem restrictions rely solely on Landlock again.
`mounts.rs` is kept in place but left unused. The linux‑sandbox README
is updated to match the new behavior and manual test expectations.
Fixes#8733.
- Read prompt from stdin as raw bytes and decode more helpfully.
- Strip UTF-8 BOM; decode UTF-16LE/UTF-16BE when a BOM is present.
- For other non-UTF8 input, fail with an actionable message (offset +
iconv hint).
Tests: `cargo test -p codex-exec`.
This PR changes `codex resume --last` to work consistently with `codex
resume`. Namely, it filters based on the cwd when selecting the last
session. It also supports the `--all` modifier as an override.
This addresses #8700
fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/9236
### Motivation
- Prevent sandbox setup from failing when unprivileged user namespaces
are denied so Landlock-only protections can still be applied.
- Ensure `PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS` is set before installing seccomp and
Landlock restrictions to avoid kernel `EPERM`/`LandlockRestrict`
ordering issues.
### Description
- Add `is_permission_denied` helper that detects `EPERM` /
`PermissionDenied` from `CodexErr` to drive fallback logic.
- In `apply_read_only_mounts` skip read-only bind-mount setup and return
`Ok(())` when `unshare_user_and_mount_namespaces()` fails with
permission-denied so Landlock rules can still be installed.
- Add `set_no_new_privs()` and call it from
`apply_sandbox_policy_to_current_thread` before installing seccomp
filters and Landlock rules when disk or network access is restricted.
Next step would be to clean Model Upgrade in model presets

### What
Add `WebSearchMode` enum (disabled, cached live, defaults to cached) to
config + V2 protocol. This enum takes precedence over legacy flags:
`web_search_cached`, `web_search_request`, and `tools.web_search`.
Keep `--search` as live.
### Tests
Added tests
Disables the default Ctrl+C/Ctrl+D double-press quit UX (keeps the code
path behind a const) while we rethink the quit/interrupt flow.
Tests:
- just fmt
- cargo clippy --fix --all-features --tests --allow-dirty --allow-no-vcs
-p codex-tui
- cargo test -p codex-tui --lib
- Remove legacy Ctrl+K queuing in tui2; Tab is the queue key.
- Make Enter queue when Steer is disabled and submit immediately when
Steer is enabled.
- Add Steer keybinding docs on both tui and tui2 chat composers.
