## Summary
- allow `request_user_input` in Default collaboration mode as well as
Plan
- update the Default-mode instructions to prefer assumptions first and
use `request_user_input` only when a question is unavoidable
- update request_user_input and app-server tests to match the new
Default-mode behavior
- refactor collaboration-mode availability plumbing into
`CollaborationModesConfig` for future mode-related flags

Previously, clients would call `thread/start` with dynamic_tools set,
and when a model invokes a dynamic tool, it would just make the
server->client `item/tool/call` request and wait for the client's
response to complete the tool call. This works, but it doesn't have an
`item/started` or `item/completed` event.
Now we are doing this:
- [new] emit `item/started` with `DynamicToolCall` populated with the
call arguments
- send an `item/tool/call` server request
- [new] once the client responds, emit `item/completed` with
`DynamicToolCall` populated with the response.
Also, with `persistExtendedHistory: true`, dynamic tool calls are now
reconstructable in `thread/read` and `thread/resume` as
`ThreadItem::DynamicToolCall`.
## 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.

## 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`
TL;DR
Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config support so users can supply a
local model catalog override from a JSON file path (including adding new
models) without backend changes.
### Problem
Codex previously had no clean client-side way to replace/overlay model
catalog data for local testing of model metadata and new model entries.
### Fix
- Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config field (JSON file path).
- Apply catalog entries when resolving `ModelInfo`:
1. Base resolved model metadata (remote/fallback)
2. Catalog overlay from `model_catalog_json`
3. Existing global top-level overrides (`model_context_window`,
`model_supports_reasoning_summaries`, etc.)
### Note
Will revisit per-field overrides in a follow-up
### Tests
Added tests
# External (non-OpenAI) Pull Request Requirements
In `js_repl` mode, module resolution currently starts from
`js_repl_kernel.js`, which is written to a per-kernel temp dir. This
effectively means that bare imports will not resolve.
This PR adds a new config option, `js_repl_node_module_dirs`, which is a
list of dirs that are used (in order) to resolve a bare import. If none
of those work, the current working directory of the thread is used.
For example:
```toml
js_repl_node_module_dirs = [
"/path/to/node_modules/",
"/other/path/to/node_modules/",
]
```

### 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.
rm `remote_models` feature flag.
We see issues like #11527 when a user has `remote_models` disabled, as
we always use the default fallback `ModelInfo`. This causes issues with
model performance.
Builds on #11690, which helps by warning the user when they are using
the default fallback. This PR will make that happen much less frequently
as an accidental consequence of disabling `remote_models`.
Currently, if there are syntax errors detected in the starlark rules
file, the entire policy is silently ignored by the CLI. The app server
correctly emits a message that can be displayed in a GUI.
This PR changes the CLI (both the TUI and non-interactive exec) to fail
when the rules file can't be parsed. It then prints out an error message
and exits with a non-zero exit code. This is consistent with the
handling of errors in the config file.
This addresses #11603
## 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
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server
-p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
- `cargo build -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p
codex-app-server -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
We're loading these from the web on every startup. This puts them in a
local file with a 1hr TTL.
We sign the downloaded requirements with a key compiled into the Codex
CLI to prevent unsophisticated tampering (determined circumvention is
outside of our threat model: after all, one could just compile Codex
without any of these checks).
If any of the following are true, we ignore the local cache and re-fetch
from Cloud:
* The signature is invalid for the payload (== requirements, sign time,
ttl, user identity)
* The identity does not match the auth'd user's identity
* The TTL has expired
* We cannot parse requirements.toml from the payload
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`.
With this PR we do not close the unified exec processes (i.e. background
terminals) at the end of a turn unless:
* The user interrupt the turn
* The user decide to clean the processes through `app-server` or
`/clean`
I made sure that `codex exec` correctly kill all the processes
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
Session renaming:
- `/rename my_session`
- `/rename` without arg and passing an argument in `customViewPrompt`
- AppExitInfo shows resume hint using the session name if set instead of
uuid, defaults to uuid if not set
- Names are stored in `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl`
Session resuming:
- codex resume <name> lookup for `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl` first entry
matching the name and resumes the session

In a [recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9182), I made some
improvements to config error messages so errors didn't leave app server
clients in a dead state. This is a follow-on PR to make these error
messages more readable and actionable for both TUI and GUI users. For
example, see #9668 where the user was understandably confused about the
source of the problem and how to fix it.
The improved error message:
1. Clearly identifies the config file where the error was found (which
is more important now that we support layered configs)
2. Provides a line and column number of the error
3. Displays the line where the error occurred and underlines it
For example, if my `config.toml` includes the following:
```toml
[features]
collaboration_modes = "true"
```
Here's the current CLI error message:
```
Error loading config.toml: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean in `features`
```
And here's the improved message:
```
Error loading config.toml:
/Users/etraut/.codex/config.toml:43:23: invalid type: string "true", expected a boolean
|
43 | collaboration_modes = "true"
| ^^^^^^
```
The bulk of the new logic is contained within a new module
`config_loader/diagnostics.rs` that is responsible for calculating the
text range for a given toml path (which is more involved than I would
have expected).
In addition, this PR adds the file name and text range to the
`ConfigWarningNotification` app server struct. This allows GUI clients
to present the user with a better error message and an optional link to
open the errant config file. This was a suggestion from @.bolinfest when
he reviewed my previous PR.
## Summary
Fixes#7522
The `--yolo` (`--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox`) flag is
documented to skip all confirmation prompts and execute commands without
sandboxing, intended solely for running in environments that are
externally sandboxed. However, it was not bypassing the trusted
directory (git repo) check, requiring users to also specify
`--skip-git-repo-check`.
This change makes `--yolo` also skip the git repo check, matching the
documented behavior and user expectations.
## Changes
- Modified `codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs` to check for
`dangerously_bypass_approvals_and_sandbox` flag in addition to
`skip_git_repo_check` when determining whether to skip the git repo
check
## Testing
- Verified the code compiles with `cargo check -p codex-exec`
- Ran existing tests with `cargo test -p codex-exec` (34 passed, 8
integration tests failed due to unrelated API connectivity issues)

### Motivation
Exposes a per-thread / per-turn `personality` override in the v2
app-server API so clients can influence model communication style at
thread/turn start. Ensures the override is passed into the session
configuration resolution so it becomes effective for subsequent turns
and headless runners.
### Testing
- [x] Add an integration-style test
`turn_start_accepts_personality_override_v2` in
`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs` that verifies a
`/personality` override results in a developer update message containing
`<personality_spec>` in the outbound model request.

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116
## Summary
- Thread user text element ranges through TUI/TUI2 input, submission,
queueing, and history so placeholders survive resume/edit flows.
- Preserve local image attachments alongside text elements and rehydrate
placeholders when restoring drafts.
- Keep model-facing content shapes clean by attaching UI metadata only
to user input/events (no API content changes).
## Key Changes
- TUI/TUI2 composer now captures text element ranges, trims them with
text edits, and restores them when submission is suppressed.
- User history cells render styled spans for text elements and keep
local image paths for future rehydration.
- Initial chat widget bootstraps accept empty `initial_text_elements` to
keep initialization uniform.
- Protocol/core helpers updated to tolerate the new InputText field
shape without changing payloads sent to the API.
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.
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.

- 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`.
When an invalid config.toml key or value is detected, the CLI currently
just quits. This leaves the VSCE in a dead state.
This PR changes the behavior to not quit and bubble up the config error
to users to make it actionable. It also surfaces errors related to
"rules" parsing.
This allows us to surface these errors to users in the VSCE, like this:

This is an alternate PR to solving the same problem as
<https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8227>.
In this PR, when Ollama is used via `--oss` (or via `model_provider =
"ollama"`), we default it to use the Responses format. At runtime, we do
an Ollama version check, and if the version is older than when Responses
support was added to Ollama, we print out a warning.
Because there's no way of configuring the wire api for a built-in
provider, we temporarily add a new `oss_provider`/`model_provider`
called `"ollama-chat"` that will force the chat format.
Once the `"chat"` format is fully removed (see
<https://github.com/openai/codex/discussions/7782>), `ollama-chat` can
be removed as well

**Motivation**
The `originator` header is important for codex-backend’s Responses API
proxy because it identifies the real end client (codex cli, codex vscode
extension, codex exec, future IDEs) and is used to categorize requests
by client for our enterprise compliance API.
Today the `originator` header is set by either:
- the `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var (our VSCode extension
does this)
- calling `set_default_originator()` which sets a global immutable
singleton (`codex exec` does this)
For `codex app-server`, we want the `initialize` JSON-RPC request to set
that header because it is a natural place to do so. Example:
```json
{
"method": "initialize",
"id": 0,
"params": {
"clientInfo": {
"name": "codex_vscode",
"title": "Codex VS Code Extension",
"version": "0.1.0"
}
}
}
```
and when app-server receives that request, it can call
`set_default_originator()`. This is a much more natural interface than
asking third party developers to set an env var.
One hiccup is that `originator()` reads the global singleton and locks
in the value, preventing a later `set_default_originator()` call from
setting it. This would be fine but is brittle, since any codepath that
calls `originator()` before app-server can process an `initialize`
JSON-RPC call would prevent app-server from setting it. This was
actually the case with OTEL initialization which runs on boot, but I
also saw this behavior in certain tests.
Instead, what we now do is:
- [unchanged] If `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var is set,
`originator()` would return that value and `set_default_originator()`
with some other value does NOT override it.
- [new] If no env var is set, `originator()` would return the default
value which is `codex_cli_rs` UNTIL `set_default_originator()` is called
once, in which case it is set to the new value and becomes immutable.
Later calls to `set_default_originator()` returns
`SetOriginatorError::AlreadyInitialized`.
**Other notes**
- I updated `codex_core::otel_init::build_provider` to accepts a service
name override, and app-server sends a hardcoded `codex_app_server`
service name to distinguish it from `codex_cli_rs` used by default (e.g.
TUI).
**Next steps**
- Update VSCE to set the proper value for `clientInfo.name` on
`initialize` and drop the `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` env var.
- Delete support for `CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` in codex-rs.
Historically we started with a CodexAuth that knew how to refresh it's
own tokens and then added AuthManager that did a different kind of
refresh (re-reading from disk).
I don't think it makes sense for both `CodexAuth` and `AuthManager` to
be mutable and contain behaviors.
Move all refresh logic into `AuthManager` and keep `CodexAuth` as a data
object.
**Motivation**
- Bring `codex exec resume` to parity with top‑level flags so global
options (git check bypass, json, model, sandbox toggles) work after the
subcommand, including when outside a git repo.
**Description**
- Exec CLI: mark `--skip-git-repo-check`, `--json`, `--model`,
`--full-auto`, and `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` as
global so they’re accepted after `resume`.
- Tests: add `exec_resume_accepts_global_flags_after_subcommand` to
verify those flags work when passed after `resume`.
**Testing**
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec` (pass; ran with elevated perms to allow
network/port binds)
- Manual: exercised `codex exec resume` with global flags after the
subcommand to confirm behavior.
`load_config_layers_state()` should load config from a
`.codex/config.toml` in any folder between the `cwd` for a thread and
the project root. Though in order to do that,
`load_config_layers_state()` needs to know what the `cwd` is, so this PR
does the work to thread the `cwd` through for existing callsites.
A notable exception is the `/config` endpoint in app server for which a
`cwd` is not guaranteed to be associated with the query, so the `cwd`
param is `Option<AbsolutePathBuf>` to account for this case.
The logic to make use of the `cwd` will be done in a follow-up PR.
This adds support for `allowed_sandbox_modes` in `requirements.toml` and
provides legacy support for constraining sandbox modes in
`managed_config.toml`. This is converted to `Constrained<SandboxPolicy>`
in `ConfigRequirements` and applied to `Config` such that constraints
are enforced throughout the harness.
Note that, because `managed_config.toml` is deprecated, we do not add
support for the new `external-sandbox` variant recently introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8290. As noted, that variant is not
supported in `config.toml` today, but can be configured programmatically
via app server.
This PR does various types of cleanup before I can proceed with more
ambitious changes to config loading.
First, I noticed duplicated code across these two methods:
774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L314-L324)774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L334-L344)
This has now been consolidated in
`load_config_as_toml_with_cli_overrides()`.
Further, I noticed that `Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` took two
similar arguments:
774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L308-L311)
The difference between `cli_overrides` and `overrides` was not
immediately obvious to me. At first glance, it appears that one should
be able to be expressed in terms of the other, but it turns out that
some fields of `ConfigOverrides` (such as `cwd` and
`codex_linux_sandbox_exe`) are, by design, not configurable via a
`.toml` file or a command-line `--config` flag.
That said, I discovered that many callers of
`Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` were passing
`ConfigOverrides::default()` for `overrides`, so I created two separate
methods:
- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides(cli_overrides: Vec<(String,
TomlValue)>)`
- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides_and_harness_overrides(cli_overrides:
Vec<(String, TomlValue)>, harness_overrides: ConfigOverrides)`
The latter has a long name, as it is _not_ what should be used in the
common case, so the extra typing is designed to draw attention to this
fact. I tried to update the existing callsites to use the shorter name,
where possible.
Further, in the cases where `ConfigOverrides` is used, usually only a
limited subset of fields are actually set, so I updated the declarations
to leverage `..Default::default()` where possible.
Constrain `approval_policy` through new `admin_policy` config.
This PR will:
1. Add a `admin_policy` section to config, with a single field (for now)
`allowed_approval_policies`. This list constrains the set of
user-settable `approval_policy`s.
2. Introduce a new `Constrained<T>` type, which combines a current value
and a validator function. The validator function ensures disallowed
values are not set.
3. Change the type of `approval_policy` on `Config` and
`SessionConfiguration` from `AskForApproval` to
`Constrained<AskForApproval>`. The validator function is set by the
values passed into `allowed_approval_policies`.
4. `GenericDisplayRow`: add a `disabled_reason: Option<String>`. When
set, it disables selection of the value and indicates as such in the
menu. This also makes it unselectable with arrow keys or numbers. This
is used in the `/approvals` menu.
Follow ups are:
1. Do the same thing to `sandbox_policy`.
2. Propagate the allowed set of values through app-server for the
extension (though already this should prevent app-server from setting
this values, it's just that we want to disable UI elements that are
unsettable).
Happy to split this PR up if you prefer, into the logical numbered areas
above. Especially if there are parts we want to gavel on separately
(e.g. admin_policy).
