There are two concepts of apps that we load in the harness:
- Directory apps, which is all the apps that the user can install.
- Accessible apps, which is what the user actually installed and can be
$ inserted and be used by the model. These are extracted from the tools
that are loaded through the gateway MCP.
Previously we wait for both sets of apps before returning the full apps
list. Which causes many issues because accessible apps won't be
available to the UI or the model if directory apps aren't loaded or
failed to load.
In this PR we are separating them so that accessible apps can be loaded
separately and are instantly available to be shown in the UI and to be
provided in model context. We also added an app-server event so that
clients can subscribe to also get accessible apps without being blocked
on the full app list.
- [x] Separate accessible apps and directory apps loading.
- [x] `app/list` request will also emit `app/list/updated` notifications
that app-server clients can subscribe. Which allows clients to get
accessible apps list to render in the $ menu without being blocked by
directory apps.
- [x] Cache both accessible and directory apps with 1 hour TTL to avoid
reloading them when creating new threads.
- [x] TUI improvements to redraw $ menu and /apps menu when app list is
updated.
- Defer rollout persistence for fresh threads (`InitialHistory::New`):
keep rollout events in memory and only materialize rollout file + state
DB row on first `EventMsg::UserMessage`.
- Keep precomputed rollout path available before materialization.
- Change `thread/start` to build thread response from live config
snapshot and optional precomputed path.
- Improve pre-materialization behavior in app-server/TUI: clearer
invalid-request errors for file-backed ops and a friendlier `/fork` “not
ready yet” UX.
- Update tests to match deferred semantics across
start/read/archive/unarchive/fork/resume/review flows.
- Improved resilience of user_shell test, which should be unrelated to
this change but must be affected by timing changes
For Reviewers:
* The primary change is in recorder.rs
* Most of the other changes were to fix up broken assumptions in
existing tests
Testing:
* Manually tested CLI
* Exercised app server paths by manually running IDE Extension with
rebuilt CLI binary
* Only user-visible change is that `/fork` in TUI generates visible
error if used prior to first turn
## Summary
- make `turn/start` normalize
`collaborationMode.settings.developer_instructions: null` to the
built-in instructions for the selected mode
- prevent app-server clients from accidentally clearing mode-switch
developer instructions by sending `null`
- document this behavior in the v2 protocol and app-server docs
## What changed
- `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
- added a small `normalize_turn_start_collaboration_mode` helper
- in `turn_start`, apply normalization before `OverrideTurnContext`
- `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs`
- extended `turn_start_accepts_collaboration_mode_override_v2` to assert
the outgoing request includes default-mode instruction text when the
client sends `developer_instructions: null`
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`
- clarified `TurnStartParams.collaboration_mode` docs:
`settings.developer_instructions: null` means use built-in mode
instructions
- regenerated schema fixture:
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/v2/TurnStartParams.ts`
- docs:
- `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`
- `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`
## Summary
Stabilize v2 review integration tests by making them hermetic with
respect to model discovery.
`app-server` review tests were intermittently timing out in CI
(especially on Windows runners) because their test config allowed remote
model refresh. During `thread/start`, the test process could issue live
`/v1/models` requests, introducing external network latency and
nondeterministic timing before review flow assertions.
This change disables remote model fetching in the review test config
helper used by these tests.
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
This PR adds a dedicated `turn/steer` API for appending user input to an
in-flight turn.
## Motivation
Currently, steering in the app is implemented by just calling
`turn/start` while a turn is running. This has some really weird quirks:
- Client gets back a new `turn.id`, even though streamed
events/approvals remained tied to the original active turn ID.
- All the various turn-level override params on `turn/start` do not
apply to the "steer", and would only apply to the next real turn.
- There can also be a race condition where the client thinks the turn is
active but the server has already completed it, so there might be bugs
if the client has baked in some client-specific behavior thinking it's a
steer when in fact the server kicked off a new turn. This is
particularly possible when running a client against a remote app-server.
Having a dedicated `turn/steer` API eliminates all those quirks.
`turn/steer` behavior:
- Requires an active turn on threadId. Returns a JSON-RPC error if there
is no active turn.
- If expectedTurnId is provided, it must match the active turn (more
useful when connecting to a remote app-server).
- Does not emit `turn/started`.
- Does not accept turn overrides (`cwd`, `model`, `sandbox`, etc.) or
`outputSchema` to accurately reflect that these are not applied when
steering.
- 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.
## Summary
When resuming with a different model, we should also append a developer
message with the model instructions
## Testing
- [x] Added unit tests
Took over the work that @aaronl-openai started here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10397
Now that app-server clients are able to set up custom tools (called
`dynamic_tools` in app-server), we should expose a way for clients to
pass in not just text, but also image outputs. This is something the
Responses API already supports for function call outputs, where you can
pass in either a string or an array of content outputs (text, image,
file):
https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create#responses_create-input-input_item_list-item-function_tool_call_output-output-array-input_image
So let's just plumb it through in Codex (with the caveat that we only
support text and image for now). This is implemented end-to-end across
app-server v2 protocol types and core tool handling.
## Breaking API change
NOTE: This introduces a breaking change with dynamic tools, but I think
it's ok since this concept was only recently introduced
(https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9539) and it's better to get the
API contract correct. I don't think there are any real consumers of this
yet (not even the Codex App).
Old shape:
`{ "output": "dynamic-ok", "success": true }`
New shape:
```
{
"contentItems": [
{ "type": "inputText", "text": "dynamic-ok" },
{ "type": "inputImage", "imageUrl": "data:image/png;base64,AAA" }
]
"success": true
}
```
## Human summary
Sandboxing (specifically `LandlockRestrict`) is means that e.g. `sleep
10` fails immediately. Therefore it cannot be interrupted.
In suite::interrupt::test_shell_command_interruption, sleep 10 is issued
at 17:28:16.554 (ToolCall: shell_command {"command":"sleep 10"...}),
then fails at 17:28:16.589 with duration_ms=34, success=false,
exit_code=101, and
Sandbox(LandlockRestrict).
## Codex summary
- set `sandbox_mode = "danger-full-access"` in `interrupt` and
`v2/turn_interrupt` integration tests
- set `sandbox: Some(SandboxMode::DangerFullAccess)` in
`test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow`
- set `sandbox_policy: Some(SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess)` in
`command_execution_notifications_include_process_id`
## Why
On some Linux CI environments, command execution fails immediately with
`LandlockRestrict` when sandboxed. These tests are intended to validate
JSON-RPC/task lifecycle behavior (interrupt semantics, command
notification shape/process id, request flow), but early sandbox startup
failure changes turn flow and can trigger extra follow-up requests,
causing flakes.
This change removes environment-specific sandbox startup dependency from
these tests while preserving their primary intent.
## Testing
- not run in this environment (per request)
- add `thread/compact` as a trigger-only v2 RPC that submits
`Op::Compact` and returns `{}` immediately.
- add v2 compaction e2e coverage for success and invalid/unknown thread
ids, and update protocol schemas/docs.
One of our partners flagged that they were seeing the wrong order of
events when running `review/start` with command exec approvals:
```
{"method":"item/commandExecution/requestApproval","id":0,"params":{"threadId":"019c0b6b-6a42-7c02-99c4-98c80e88ac27","turnId":"0","itemId":"0","reason":"`/bin/zsh -lc 'git show b7a92b4eacf262c575f26b1e1ed621a357642e55 --stat'` requires approval: Xcode-required approval: Require explicit user confirmation for all commands.","proposedExecpolicyAmendment":null}}
{"method":"item/started","params":{"item":{"type":"commandExecution","id":"call_AEjlbHqLYNM7kbU3N6uw1CNi","command":"/bin/zsh -lc 'git show b7a92b4eacf262c575f26b1e1ed621a357642e55 --stat'","cwd":"/Users/devingreen/Desktop/SampleProject","processId":null,"status":"inProgress","commandActions":[{"type":"unknown","command":"git show b7a92b4eacf262c575f26b1e1ed621a357642e55 --stat"}],"aggregatedOutput":null,"exitCode":null,"durationMs":null},"threadId":"019c0b6b-6a42-7c02-99c4-98c80e88ac27","turnId":"0"}}
```
**Key fix**: In the review sub‑agent delegate we were forwarding exec
(and patch) approvals using the parent turn id (`parent_ctx.sub_id`) as
the approval call_id. That made
`item/commandExecution/requestApproval.itemId` differ from the actual
`item/started` id. We now forward the sub‑agent’s `call_id` from the
approval event instead, so the approval item id matches the
commandExecution item id in review flows.
Here’s the expected event order for an inline `review/start` that
triggers an exec approval after this fix:
1. Response to review/start (JSON‑RPC response)
- Includes `turn` (status inProgress) and `review_thread_id` (same as
parent thread for inline).
2. `turn/started` notification
- turnId is the review turn id (e.g., "0").
3. `item/started` → EnteredReviewMode
- item.id == turnId, marks entry into review mode.
4. `item/started` → commandExecution
- item.id == <call_id> (e.g., "review-call-1"), status: inProgress.
5. `item/commandExecution/requestApproval` request
- JSON‑RPC request (not a notification).
- params.itemId == <call_id> and params.turnId == turnId.
6. Client replies to approval request (Approved / Declined / etc).
7. If approved:
- Optional `item/commandExecution/outputDelta` notifications.
- `item/completed` → commandExecution with status and exitCode.
8. Review finishes:
- `item/started` → ExitedReviewMode
- `item/completed` → ExitedReviewMode
- (Agent message items may also appear, depending on review output.)
9. `turn/completed` notification
The key being #4 and #5 are now in the proper order with the correct
item id.
## Summary
This PR simplifies collaboration modes to the visible set `default |
plan`, while preserving backward compatibility for older partners that
may still send legacy mode
names.
Specifically:
- Renames the old Code behavior to **Default**.
- Keeps **Plan** as-is.
- Removes **Custom** mode behavior (fallbacks now resolve to Default).
- Keeps `PairProgramming` and `Execute` internally for compatibility
plumbing, while removing them from schema/API and UI visibility.
- Adds legacy input aliasing so older clients can still send old mode
names.
## What Changed
1. Mode enum and compatibility
- `ModeKind` now uses `Plan` + `Default` as active/public modes.
- `ModeKind::Default` deserialization accepts legacy values:
- `code`
- `pair_programming`
- `execute`
- `custom`
- `PairProgramming` and `Execute` variants remain in code but are hidden
from protocol/schema generation.
- `Custom` variant is removed; previous custom fallbacks now map to
`Default`.
2. Collaboration presets and templates
- Built-in presets now return only:
- `Plan`
- `Default`
- Template rename:
- `core/templates/collaboration_mode/code.md` -> `default.md`
- `execute.md` and `pair_programming.md` remain on disk but are not
surfaced in visible preset lists.
3. TUI updates
- Updated user-facing naming and prompts from “Code” to “Default”.
- Updated mode-cycle and indicator behavior to reflect only visible
`Plan` and `Default`.
- Updated corresponding tests and snapshots.
4. request_user_input behavior
- `request_user_input` remains allowed only in `Plan` mode.
- Rejection messaging now consistently treats non-plan modes as
`Default`.
5. Schemas
- Regenerated config and app-server schemas.
- Public schema types now advertise mode values as:
- `plan`
- `default`
## Backward Compatibility Notes
- Incoming legacy mode names (`code`, `pair_programming`, `execute`,
`custom`) are accepted and coerced to `default`.
- Outgoing/public schema surfaces intentionally expose only `plan |
default`.
- This allows tolerant ingestion of older partner payloads while
standardizing new integrations on the reduced mode set.

###### Summary
- Add input_modalities to model metadata so clients can determine
supported input types.
- Gate image paste/attach in TUI when the selected model does not
support images.
- Block submits that include images for unsupported models and show a
clear warning.
- Propagate modality metadata through app-server protocol/model-list
responses.
- Update related tests/fixtures.
###### Rationale
- Models support different input modalities.
- Clients need an explicit capability signal to prevent unsupported
requests.
- Backward-compatible defaults preserve existing behavior when modality
metadata is absent.
###### Scope
- codex-rs/protocol, codex-rs/core, codex-rs/tui
- codex-rs/app-server-protocol, codex-rs/app-server
- Generated app-server types / schema fixtures
###### Trade-offs
- Default behavior assumes text + image when field is absent for
compatibility.
- Server-side validation remains the source of truth.
###### Follow-up
- Non-TUI clients should consume input_modalities to disable unsupported
attachments.
- Model catalogs should explicitly set input_modalities for text-only
models.
###### Testing
- cargo fmt --all
- cargo test -p codex-tui
- env -u GITHUB_APP_KEY cargo test -p codex-core --lib
- just write-app-server-schema
- cargo run -p codex-cli --bin codex -- app-server generate-ts --out
app-server-types
- test against local backend

### What
add wiring for `phase` field on `ResponseItem::Message` to lay
groundwork for differentiating model preambles and final messages.
currently optional.
follows pattern in #9698.
updated schemas with `just write-app-server-schema` so we can see type
changes.
### Tests
Updated existing tests for SSE parsing and hydrating from history
## 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.
## Summary
- Touch restored rollout files on `thread/unarchive` so `updatedAt`
reflects the unarchive time.
- Add a regression test to ensure unarchiving bumps `updated_at` from an
old mtime.
## Notes
This fixes the UX issue where unarchived old threads don’t reappear near
the top of recent threads.
When using ChatGPT in names of types, we should be consistent, so this
renames some types with `ChatGpt` in the name to `Chatgpt`. From
https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html:
> In `UpperCamelCase`, acronyms and contractions of compound words count
as one word: use `Uuid` rather than `UUID`, `Usize` rather than `USize`
or `Stdin` rather than `StdIn`. In `snake_case`, acronyms and
contractions are lower-cased: `is_xid_start`.
This PR updates existing uses of `ChatGpt` and changes them to
`Chatgpt`. Though in all cases where it could affect the wire format, I
visually inspected that we don't change anything there. That said, this
_will_ change the codegen because it will affect the spelling of type
names.
For example, this renames `AuthMode::ChatGPT` to `AuthMode::Chatgpt` in
`app-server-protocol`, but the wire format is still `"chatgpt"`.
This PR also updates a number of types in `codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs`.
## Summary
- Stream proposed plans in Plan Mode using `<proposed_plan>` tags parsed
in core, emitting plan deltas plus a plan `ThreadItem`, while stripping
tags from normal assistant output.
- Persist plan items and rebuild them on resume so proposed plans show
in thread history.
- Wire plan items/deltas through app-server protocol v2 and render a
dedicated proposed-plan view in the TUI, including the “Implement this
plan?” prompt only when a plan item is present.
## Changes
### Core (`codex-rs/core`)
- Added a generic, line-based tag parser that buffers each line until it
can disprove a tag prefix; implements auto-close on `finish()` for
unterminated tags. `codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`
- Refactored proposed plan parsing to wrap the generic parser.
`codex-rs/core/src/proposed_plan_parser.rs`
- In plan mode, stream assistant deltas as:
- **Normal text** → `AgentMessageContentDelta`
- **Plan text** → `PlanDelta` + `TurnItem::Plan` start/completion
(`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`)
- Final plan item content is derived from the completed assistant
message (authoritative), not necessarily the concatenated deltas.
- Strips `<proposed_plan>` blocks from assistant text in plan mode so
tags don’t appear in normal messages.
(`codex-rs/core/src/stream_events_utils.rs`)
- Persist `ItemCompleted` events only for plan items for rollout replay.
(`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/policy.rs`)
- Guard `update_plan` tool in Plan Mode with a clear error message.
(`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/plan.rs`)
- Updated Plan Mode prompt to:
- keep `<proposed_plan>` out of non-final reasoning/preambles
- require exact tag formatting
- allow only one `<proposed_plan>` block per turn
(`codex-rs/core/templates/collaboration_mode/plan.md`)
### Protocol / App-server protocol
- Added `TurnItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaEvent` to core protocol items.
(`codex-rs/protocol/src/items.rs`, `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`)
- Added v2 `ThreadItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaNotification` with
EXPERIMENTAL markers and note that deltas may not match the final plan
item. (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`)
- Added plan delta route in app-server protocol common mapping.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs`)
- Rebuild plan items from persisted `ItemCompleted` events on resume.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/thread_history.rs`)
### App-server
- Forward plan deltas to v2 clients and map core plan items to v2 plan
items. (`codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs`,
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`)
- Added v2 plan item tests.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
### TUI
- Added a dedicated proposed plan history cell with special background
and padding, and moved “• Proposed Plan” outside the highlighted block.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`, `codex-rs/tui/src/style.rs`)
- Only show “Implement this plan?” when a plan item exists.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`,
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`)

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69794c8c-f96b-4d36-92ef-c1f5c3a8f286"
/>
### Docs / Misc
- Updated protocol docs to mention plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/docs/protocol_v1.md`)
- Minor plumbing updates in exec/debug clients to tolerate plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/debug-client/src/reader.rs`, `codex-rs/exec/...`)
## Tests
- Added core integration tests:
- Plan mode strips plan from agent messages.
- Missing `</proposed_plan>` closes at end-of-message.
(`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/items.rs`)
- Added unit tests for generic tag parser (prefix buffering, non-tag
lines, auto-close). (`codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`)
- Existing app-server plan item tests in v2.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
## Notes / Behavior
- Plan output no longer appears in standard assistant text in Plan Mode;
it streams via `PlanDelta` and completes as a `TurnItem::Plan`.
- The final plan item content is authoritative and may diverge from
streamed deltas (documented as experimental).
- Reasoning summaries are not filtered; prompt instructs the model not
to include `<proposed_plan>` outside the final plan message.

Add dynamic tools to rollout file for persistence & read from rollout on
resume. Ran a real example and spotted the following in the rollout
file:
```
{"timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.468Z","type":"session_meta","payload":{"id":"019c075d-3f0b-77e3-894e-c1c159b04b1e","timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.451Z","...."dynamic_tools":[{"name":"demo_tool","description":"Demo dynamic tool","inputSchema":{"additionalProperties":false,"properties":{"city":{"type":"string"}},"required":["city"],"type":"object"}}],"git":{"commit_hash":"ebc573f15c01b8af158e060cfedd401f043e9dfa","branch":"dev/cc/dynamic-tools","repository_url":"https://github.com/openai/codex.git"}}}
```
This enables a new use case where `codex app-server` is embedded into a
parent application that will directly own the user's ChatGPT auth
lifecycle, which means it owns the user’s auth tokens and refreshes it
when necessary. The parent application would just want a way to pass in
the auth tokens for codex to use directly.
The idea is that we are introducing a new "auth mode" currently only
exposed via app server: **`chatgptAuthTokens`** which consist of the
`id_token` (stores account metadata) and `access_token` (the bearer
token used directly for backend API calls). These auth tokens are only
stored in-memory. This new mode is in addition to the existing `apiKey`
and `chatgpt` auth modes.
This PR reuses the shape of our existing app-server account APIs as much
as possible:
- Update `account/login/start` with a new `chatgptAuthTokens` variant,
which will allow the client to pass in the tokens and have codex
app-server use them directly. Upon success, the server emits
`account/login/completed` and `account/updated` notifications.
- A new server->client request called
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` which the server can use whenever
the access token previously passed in has expired and it needs a new one
from the parent application.
I leveraged the core 401 retry loop which typically triggers auth token
refreshes automatically, but made it pluggable:
- **chatgpt** mode refreshes internally, as usual.
- **chatgptAuthTokens** mode calls the client via
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`, the client responds with updated
tokens, codex updates its in-memory auth, then retries. This RPC has a
10s timeout and handles JSON-RPC errors from the client.
Also some additional things:
- chatgpt logins are blocked while external auth is active (have to log
out first. typically clients will pick one OR the other, not support
both)
- `account/logout` clears external auth in memory
- Ensures that if `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` is set via the user's
config, we respect it in both:
- `account/login/start` with `chatgptAuthTokens` (returns a JSON-RPC
error back to the client)
- `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` (fails the turn, and on next
request app-server will send another `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`
request to the client).
- [x] Support `/apps` slash command to browse the apps in tui.
- [x] Support inserting apps to prompt using `$`.
- [x] Lots of simplification/renaming from connectors to apps.
### Overview
Currently calling `thread/resume` will always bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp. This PR makes it the `updated_at` timestamp
changes only if a turn is triggered.
### Additonal context
What we typically do on resuming a thread is **always** writing “initial
context” to the rollout file immediately. This initial context includes:
- Developer instructions derived from sandbox/approval policy + cwd
- Optional developer instructions (if provided)
- Optional collaboration-mode instructions
- Optional user instructions (if provided)
- Environment context (cwd, shell, etc.)
This PR defers writing the “initial context” to the rollout file until
the first `turn/start`, so we don't inadvertently bump the thread's
`updated_at` timestamp until a turn is actually triggered.
This works even though both `thread/resume` and `turn/start` accept
overrides (such as `model`, `cwd`, etc.) because the initial context is
seeded from the effective `TurnContext` in memory, computed at
`turn/start` time, after both sets of overrides have been applied.
**NOTE**: This is a very short-lived solution until we introduce sqlite.
Then we can remove this.
## Summary
- Adds a new `thread/unarchive` RPC to move archived thread rollouts
back into the active `sessions/` tree.
## What changed
- **Protocol**
- Adds `thread/unarchive` request/response types and wiring.
- **Server**
- Implements `thread_unarchive` in the app server.
- Validates the archived rollout path and thread ID.
- Restores the rollout to `sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/...` based on the rollout
filename timestamp.
- **Core**
- Adds `find_archived_thread_path_by_id_str` helper for archived
rollouts.
- **Docs**
- Documents the new RPC and usage example.
- **Tests**
- Adds an end-to-end server test that:
1) starts a thread,
2) archives it,
3) unarchives it,
4) asserts the file is restored to `sessions/`.
## How to use
```json
{ "method": "thread/unarchive", "id": 24, "params": { "threadId": "<thread-id>" } }
```

`codex resume 019bf158-54b6-7960-a696-9d85df7e1bc1` (soon I'll make this
kind of session UUID forkable by anyone with the right
`session_object_storage_url` line in their config, but for now just
pasting it here for my reference)
### Summary
Add `isOther` to question object from request_user_input tool input and
remove `other` option from the tool prompt to better handle tool input.
I've seen this test fail with:
```
- Mock #1.
Expected range of matching incoming requests: == 2
Number of matched incoming requests: 1
```
This is because we pop the wrong task_complete events and then the test
exits. I think this is because the MCP events are now buffered after
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8874.
So:
1. clear the buffer before we do any user message sending
2. additionally listen for task start before task complete
3. use the ID from task start to find the correct task complete event.
## Summary
Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
into the model tool pipeline.
### Flow (high level)
- Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
thread (validation is done here).
- When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
`DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
- The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
core.
- Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
request so the model can continue.
### What changed
- Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
execution.
- Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
- App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
- Integration tests
## Summary
Move `model_instructions_template` config to the experimental slug while
we iterate on this feature
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally, unit tests still pass
## Summary
Adds /personality selector in the TUI, which leverages the new core
interface in #9644
Notes:
- We are doing some of our own state management for model_info loading
here, but not sure if that's ideal. open to opinions on simpler
approach, but would like to avoid blocking on a larger refactor
- Right now, the `/personality` selector just hides when the model
doesn't support it. we can update this behavior down the line
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally
- [x] Added snapshot tests
Keep an unmasked base collaboration mode and apply the active mask on
demand. Simplify the TUI mask helpers and update tests/docs to match the
mask contract.
