## Summary
- add device-code ChatGPT sign-in to `tui_app_server` onboarding and
reuse the existing `chatgptAuthTokens` login path
- fall back to browser login when device-code auth is unavailable on the
server
- treat `ChatgptAuthTokens` as an existing signed-in ChatGPT state
during onboarding
- add a local ChatGPT auth loader for handing local tokens to the app
server and serving refresh requests
- handle `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` instead of marking it
unsupported, including workspace/account mismatch checks
- add focused coverage for onboarding success, existing auth handling,
local auth loading, and refresh request behavior
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-tui-app-server`
## Problem
When the TUI connects to a **remote** app-server (via WebSocket), resume
and fork operations lost all conversation history.
`AppServerStartedThread` carried only the `SessionConfigured` event, not
the full `Thread` snapshot. After resume or fork, the chat transcript
was empty — prior turns were silently discarded.
A secondary issue: `primary_session_configured` was not cleared on
reset, causing stale session state after reconnection.
## Approach: TUI-side only, zero app-server changes
The app-server **already returns** the full `Thread` object (with
populated `turns: Vec<Turn>`) in its `ThreadStartResponse`,
`ThreadResumeResponse`, and `ThreadForkResponse`. The data was always
there — the TUI was simply throwing it away. The old
`AppServerStartedThread` struct only kept the `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
discarding the rich turn history that the server had already provided.
This PR fixes the problem entirely within `tui_app_server` (3 files
changed, 0 changes to `app-server`, `app-server-protocol`, or any other
crate). Rather than modifying the server to send history in a different
format or adding a new endpoint, the fix preserves the existing `Thread`
snapshot and replays it through the TUI's standard event pipeline —
making restored sessions indistinguishable from live ones.
## Solution
Add a **thread snapshot replay** path. When the server hands back a
`Thread` object (on start, resume, or fork),
`restore_started_app_server_thread` converts its historical turns into
the same core `Event` sequence the TUI already processes for live
interactions, then replays them into the event store so the chat widget
renders them.
Key changes:
- **`AppServerStartedThread` now carries the full `Thread`** —
`started_thread_from_{start,resume,fork}_response` clone the thread into
the struct alongside the existing `SessionConfiguredEvent`.
- **`thread_snapshot_events()`** walks the thread's turns and items,
producing `TurnStarted` → `ItemCompleted`* →
`TurnComplete`/`TurnAborted` event sequences that the TUI already knows
how to render.
- **`restore_started_app_server_thread()`** pushes the session event +
history events into the thread channel's store, activates the channel,
and replays the snapshot — used for initial startup, resume, and fork.
- **`primary_session_configured` cleared on reset** to prevent stale
session state after reconnection.
## Tradeoffs
- **`Thread` is cloned into `AppServerStartedThread`**: The full thread
snapshot (including all historical turns) is cloned at startup. For
long-lived threads this could be large, but it's a one-time cost and
avoids lifetime gymnastics with the response.
## Tests
- `restore_started_app_server_thread_replays_remote_history` —
end-to-end: constructs a `Thread` with one completed turn, restores it,
and asserts user/agent messages appear in the transcript.
- `bridges_thread_snapshot_turns_for_resume_restore` — unit: verifies
`thread_snapshot_events` produces the correct event sequence for
completed and interrupted turns.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify `cargo check -p codex-tui-app-server` passes
- [ ] Verify `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server` passes
- [ ] Manual: connect to a remote app-server, resume an existing thread,
confirm history renders in the chat widget
- [ ] Manual: fork a thread via remote, confirm prior turns appear
The in-process app-server currently emits both typed
`ServerNotification`s and legacy `codex/event/*` notifications for the
same live turn updates. `tui_app_server` was consuming both paths, so
message deltas and completed items could be enqueued twice and rendered
as duplicated output in the transcript.
Ignore legacy notifications for event types that already have typed (app
server) notification handling, while keeping legacy fallback behavior
for events that still only arrive on the old path. This preserves
compatibility without duplicating streamed commentary or final agent
output.
We will remove all of the legacy event handlers over time; they're here
only during the short window where we're moving the tui to use the app
server.
## Stack Position
2/4. Built on top of #14828.
## Base
- #14828
## Unblocks
- #14829
- #14827
## Scope
- Port the realtime v2 wire parsing, session, app-server, and
conversation runtime behavior onto the split websocket-method base.
- Branch runtime behavior directly on the current realtime session kind
instead of parser-derived flow flags.
- Keep regression coverage in the existing e2e suites.

## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

This PR replicates the `tui` code directory and creates a temporary
parallel `tui_app_server` directory. It also implements a new feature
flag `tui_app_server` to select between the two tui implementations.
Once the new app-server-based TUI is stabilized, we'll delete the old
`tui` directory and feature flag.
