## What?
- Render an MCP image output cell whenever a decodable image block
exists in `CallToolResult.content` (including text-before-image or
malformed image before valid image).
## Why?
- Tool results that include caption text before the image currently drop
the image output cell.
- A malformed image block can also suppress later valid image output.
## How?
- Iterate `content` and return the first successfully decoded image
instead of only checking the first block.
- Add unit tests that cover text-before-image ordering and
invalid-image-before-valid.
## Before
```rust
let image = match result {
Ok(mcp_types::CallToolResult { content, .. }) => {
if let Some(mcp_types::ContentBlock::ImageContent(image)) = content.first() {
// decode image (fails -> None)
} else {
None
}
}
_ => None,
}?;
```
## After
```rust
let image = result
.as_ref()
.ok()?
.content
.iter()
.find_map(decode_mcp_image)?;
```
## Risk / Impact
- Low: only affects image cell creation for MCP tool results; no change
for non-image outputs.
## Tests
- [x] `just fmt`
- [x] `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- [x] Rerun after branch update (2026-01-27): `just fmt`, `cargo test -p
codex-tui`
Manual testing
# Manual testing: MCP image tool result rendering (Codex TUI)
# Build the rmcp stdio test server binary:
cd codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-rmcp-client --bin test_stdio_server
# Register the server as an MCP server (absolute path to the built binary):
codex mcp add mcpimg -- /Users/joshka/code/codex-pr-review/codex-rs/target/debug/test_stdio_server
# Then in Codex TUI, ask it to call:
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_only"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_then_image","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_base64_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_image_bytes_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"multiple_valid_images"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_then_text","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_only","caption":"Here is the image:"})
# Expected:
# - You should see an extra history cell: "tool result (image output)" when the
# tool result contains at least one decodable image block (even if earlier
# blocks are text or invalid images).

Auto-enable live `web_search` tool when sandbox policy is
`DangerFullAccess`.
Explicitly setting `web_search` (canonical setting), or enabling
`web_search_cached` or `web_search_request` still takes precedence over
this sandbox-policy-driven enablement.
Constructors with long param lists can be hard to reason about when a
number of the args are `None`, in practice. Introducing a struct to use
as the args type helps make things more self-documenting.
Updates the `CodexOptions` passed to the `Codex()` constructor in the
SDK to support a `config` property that is a map of configuration data
that will be transformed into `--config` flags passed to the invocation
of `codex`.
Therefore, something like this:
```typescript
const codex = new Codex({
config: {
show_raw_agent_reasoning: true,
sandbox_workspace_write: { network_access: true },
},
});
```
would result in the following args being added to the invocation of
`codex`:
```shell
--config show_raw_agent_reasoning=true --config sandbox_workspace_write.network_access=true
```
### 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 an optional SOCKS5 listener via `rama-socks5`
- SOCKS5 is disabled by default and gated by config
- Reuses existing policy enforcement and blocked-request recording
- Blocks SOCKS5 in limited mode to prevent method-policy bypass
- Applies bind clamping to the SOCKS5 listener
### Config
New/used fields under `network_proxy`:
- `enable_socks5`
- `socks_url`
- `enable_socks5_udp`
### Scope
- Changes limited to `codex-rs/network-proxy` (+ `codex-rs/Cargo.lock`)
### Testing
```bash
cd codex-rs
just fmt
cargo test -p codex-network-proxy --offline

## Notes / Edge Cases
- In steer mode while typing, the queue hint no longer replaces the mode
label; it renders as `tab to queue message · {Mode}`.
- Collapse priorities differ by state:
- With the queue hint active, `% context left` is hidden before
shortening or dropping the queue hint.
- In the empty + non-running state, `? for shortcuts` is dropped first,
and `% context left` is only shown if `(shift+tab to
cycle)` can also fit.
- Transient instructional states (`?` overlay, Esc hint, Ctrl+C/D
reminders, and flash/override hints) intentionally suppress the
mode label (and context) to focus the next action.
## Implementation Notes
- Renamed the base footer modes to make the state explicit:
`ComposerEmpty` and `ComposerHasDraft`, and compute the base mode
directly from emptiness.
- Unified collapse behavior in `single_line_footer_layout` for both base
modes, with:
- Queue-hint behavior that prefers keeping the queue hint over context.
- A cycle-hint guard that prevents context from reappearing after
`(shift+tab to cycle)` is dropped.
- Kept rendering responsibilities explicit:
- `single_line_footer_layout` decides what fits.
- `render_footer_line` renders a chosen line.
- `render_footer_from_props` renders the canonical mode-to-text mapping.
- Expanded snapshot coverage:
- Added `footer_collapse_snapshots` in `chat_composer.rs` to lock the
distinct collapse states across widths.
- Consolidated the width-aware snapshot helper usage (e.g.,
`snapshot_composer_state_with_width`,
`snapshot_footer_with_mode_indicator`).
Updates pnpm to 10.28.2. to address security issues in prior versions of
pnpm that can allow deps to execute lifecycle scripts against policy.

Fix resume --last prompt parsing by dropping the clap conflict on the

is set. This aligns interactive resume behavior with exec-mode logic and
avoids the “--last cannot be used with SESSION_ID” error.

### Summary
- Parse all `web_search` tool actions (`search`, `find_in_page`,
`open_page`).
- Previously we only parsed + displayed `search`, which made the TUI
appear to pause when the other actions were being used.
- Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
- Previously we only showed completed tool calls

### Tests
Added + updated tests, tested locally
### Follow ups
Update VSCode extension to display these as well
Reuse the shared chat composer for notes and freeform answers in
request_user_input.
- Build the overlay composer with ChatComposerConfig::plain_text.
- Wire paste-burst flushing + menu surface sizing through the bottom
pane.
## Context
Previous work in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9560 only rejected
`request_user_input` in Execute and Custom modes. Since then, additional
modes
(e.g., Code) were added, so the guard should be mode-agnostic.
## What changed
- Switch the handler to an allowlist: only Plan and PairProgramming are
allowed
- Return the same error for any other mode (including Code)
- Add a Code-mode rejection test alongside the existing Execute/Custom
tests
## Why
This prevents `request_user_input` from being used in modes where it is
not
intended, even as new modes are introduced.
Fixes a TUI freeze caused by awaiting `mpsc::Sender::send()` that blocks
the tokio thread, stopping the consumption runtime and creating a
deadlock. This could happen if the server was producing enough chunks to
fill the `mpsc` fast enough. To solve this we try on insert using a
`try_send()` (not requiring an `await`) and delegate to a tokio task if
this does not work
This is a temporary solution as it can contain races for delta elements
and a stronger design should come here
Fixes#9822
### Summary
Make the Homebrew upgrade command explicit by using `brew upgrade --cask
codex`.
### Motivation
During the Codex self-update, Homebrew can emit an avoidable warning
because the
name `codex` resolves to a cask:
```
Warning: Formula codex was renamed to homebrew/cask/codex.
````
While the upgrade succeeds, this relies on implicit name resolution and
produces
unnecessary output during the update flow.
### Why `--cask`
* Eliminates warning/noise for users
* Explicitly matches how Codex is distributed via Homebrew
* Avoids reliance on name resolution behavior
* Makes the command more robust if a `codex` formula is ever introduced
### Context
This restores the `--cask` flag that was removed in #6238 after being
considered
“not necessary” during review:

Currently `apply_patch` will fail on Windows if the file contents happen
to have a multi-byte character at the point where the `preview` function
truncates.
I've used the existing `take_bytes_at_char_boundary` helper and added a
regression test (that fails without the fix).
This is related to #4013 but doesn't fix it.

### Motivation
- Allow MCP OAuth flows to request scopes defined in `config.toml`
instead of requiring users to always pass `--scopes` on the CLI.
CLI/remote parameters should still override config values.
### Description
- Add optional `scopes: Option<Vec<String>>` to `McpServerConfig` and
`RawMcpServerConfig`, and propagate it through deserialization and the
built config types.
- Serialize `scopes` into the MCP server TOML via
`serialize_mcp_server_table` in `core/src/config/edit.rs` and include
`scopes` in the generated config schema (`core/config.schema.json`).
- CLI: update `codex-rs/cli/src/mcp_cmd.rs` `run_login` to fall back to
`server.scopes` when the `--scopes` flag is empty, with explicit CLI
scopes still taking precedence.
- App server: update
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
`mcp_server_oauth_login` to use `params.scopes.or_else(||
server.scopes.clone())` so the RPC path also respects configured scopes.
- Update many test fixtures to initialize the new `scopes` field (set to
`None`) so test code builds with the new struct field.
### Testing
- Ran config tooling and formatters: `just write-config-schema`
(succeeded), `just fmt` (succeeded), and `just fix -p codex-core`, `just
fix -p codex-cli`, `just fix -p codex-app-server` (succeeded where
applicable).
- Ran unit tests for the CLI: `cargo test -p codex-cli` (passed).
- Ran unit tests for core: `cargo test -p codex-core` (ran; many tests
passed but several failed, including model refresh/403-related tests,
shell snapshot/timeouts, and several `unified_exec` expectations).
- Ran app-server tests: `cargo test -p codex-app-server` (ran; many
integration-suite tests failed due to mocked/remote HTTP 401/403
responses and wiremock expectations).
If you want, I can split the tests into smaller focused runs or help
debug the failing integration tests (they appear to be unrelated to the
config change and stem from external HTTP/mocking behaviors encountered
during the test runs).

[Codex
Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_69718f505914832ea1f334b3ba064553)
We've recently standardized a [feature maturity
model](https://developers.openai.com/codex/feature-maturity) that we're
using in our docs and support forums to communicate expectations to
users. This PR updates the internal stage names and descriptions to
match.
This change involves a simple internal rename and updates to a few
user-visible strings. No functional change.
## 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>" } }
```
