## 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:
- Rename config table from network_proxy to network.
- Flatten allowed_domains, denied_domains, allow_unix_sockets, and
allow_local_binding onto NetworkProxySettings.
- Update runtime, state constraints, tests, and README to the new config
shape.
TLDR: use new message phase field emitted by preamble-supported models
to determine whether an AgentMessage is mid-turn commentary. if so,
restore the status indicator afterwards to indicate the turn has not
completed.
### Problem
`commit_tick` hides the status indicator while streaming assistant text.
For preamble-capable models, that text can be commentary mid-turn, so
hiding was correct during streaming but restore timing mattered:
- restoring too aggressively caused jitter/flashing
- not restoring caused indicator to stay hidden before subsequent work
(tool calls, web search, etc.)
### Fix
- Add optional `phase` to `AgentMessageItem` and propagate it from
`ResponseItem::Message`
- Keep indicator hidden during streamed commit ticks, restore only when:
- assistant item completes as `phase=commentary`, and
- stream queues are idle + task is still running.
- Treat `phase=None` as final-answer behavior (no restore) to keep
existing behavior for non-preamble models
### Tests
Add/update tests for:
- no idle-tick restore without commentary completion
- commentary completion restoring status before tool begin
- snapshot coverage for preamble/status behavior

This PR makes `Config.apps `experimental-only and fixes a TS schema
post-processing bug that removed needed imports. The bug happened
because import pruning only checked the inner type body after filtering,
not the full alias, so `JsonValue` got dropped from `Config.ts`. We now
prune against the full alias body and added a regression test for this
scenario.
## What changed
- In `codex-rs/core/src/skills/injection.rs`, we now honor explicit
`UserInput::Skill { name, path }` first, then fall back to text mentions
only when safe.
- In `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`, mention selection
is now token-bound (selected mention is tied to the specific inserted
`$token`), and we snapshot bindings at submit time so selection is not
lost.
- In `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/mod.rs`, submit/queue paths now consume
the submit-time mention snapshot (instead of rereading cleared composer
state).
- In `codex-rs/tui/src/mention_codec.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer_history.rs`, history now
round-trips mention targets so resume restores the same selected
duplicate.
- In `codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/skill_popup.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/chat_composer.rs`, duplicate labels are
normalized to `[Repo]` / `[App]`, app rows no longer show `Connected -`,
and description space is a bit wider.

## Before vs now
- Before: selecting a duplicate could still submit the default/repo
match, and resume could lose which duplicate was originally selected.
- Now: the exact selected target (skill path or app id) is preserved
through submit, queue/restore, and resume.
## Manual test
1. Build and run this branch locally:
- `cd /Users/daniels/code/codex/codex-rs`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex`
- `./target/debug/codex`
2. Open mention picker with `$` and pick a duplicate entry (not the
first one).
3. Confirm duplicate UI:
- repo duplicate rows show `[Repo]`
- app duplicate rows show `[App]`
- app description does **not** start with `Connected -`
4. Submit the prompt, then press Up to restore draft and submit again.
Expected: it keeps the same selected duplicate target.
5. Use `/resume` to reopen the session and send again.
Expected: restored mention still resolves to the same duplicate target.
These fields had always been documented as experimental/unstable with
docstrings, but now let's actually use the `experimental` annotation to
be more explicit.

- thread/resume.history
- thread/resume.path
- thread/fork.path

## Summary
When replaying compacted history (especially `replacement_history` from
remote compaction), we should not keep stale developer messages from
older session state. This PR trims developer-
role messages from compacted replacement history and reinjects fresh
developer instructions derived from current turn/session state.
This aligns compaction replay behavior with the intended "fresh
instructions after summary" model.
## Problem
Compaction replay had two paths:
- `Compacted { replacement_history: None }`: rebuilt with fresh initial
context
- `Compacted { replacement_history: Some(...) }`: previously used raw
replacement history as-is
The second path could carry stale developer instructions
(permissions/personality/collab-mode guidance) across session changes.
## What Changed
### 1) Added helper to refresh compacted developer instructions
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
- **Function:** `refresh_compacted_developer_instructions(...)`
Behavior:
- remove all `ResponseItem::Message { role: "developer", .. }` from
compacted history
- append fresh developer messages from current
`build_initial_context(...)`
### 2) Applied helper in remote compaction flow
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/compact_remote.rs`
- After receiving compact endpoint output, refresh developer
instructions before replacing history and persisting
`replacement_history`.
### 3) Applied helper while reconstructing history from rollout
- **File:** `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
- In `reconstruct_history_from_rollout(...)`, when processing
`Compacted` entries with `replacement_history`, refresh developer
instructions instead of directly replacing with raw history.
## Non-Goals / Follow-up
This PR does **not** address the existing first-turn-after-resume
double-injection behavior.
A follow-up PR will handle resume-time dedup/idempotence separately.
If you want, I can also give you a shorter “squash-merge friendly”
version of the description.

## Problem
The first user turn can pay websocket handshake latency even when a
session has already started. We want to reduce that initial delay while
preserving turn semantics and avoiding any prompt send during startup.
Reviewer feedback also called out duplicated connect/setup paths and
unnecessary preconnect state complexity.
## Mental model
`ModelClient` owns session-scoped transport state. During session
startup, it can opportunistically warm one websocket handshake slot. A
turn-scoped `ModelClientSession` adopts that slot once if available,
restores captured sticky turn-state, and otherwise opens a websocket
through the same shared connect path.
If startup preconnect is still in flight, first turn setup awaits that
task and treats it as the first connection attempt for the turn.
Preconnect is handshake-only. The first `response.create` is still sent
only when a turn starts.
## Non-goals
This change does not make preconnect required for correctness and does
not change prompt/turn payload semantics. It also does not expand
fallback behavior beyond clearing preconnect state when fallback
activates.
## Tradeoffs
The implementation prioritizes simpler ownership and shared connection
code over header-match gating for reuse. The single-slot cache keeps
lifecycle straightforward but only benefits the immediate next turn.
Awaiting in-flight preconnect has the same app-level connect-timeout
semantics as existing websocket connect behavior (no new timeout class
introduced by this PR).
## Architecture
`core/src/client.rs`:
- Added session-level preconnect lifecycle state (`Idle` / `InFlight` /
`Ready`) carrying one warmed websocket plus optional captured
turn-state.
- Added `pre_establish_connection()` startup warmup and `preconnect()`
handshake-only setup.
- Deduped auth/provider resolution into `current_client_setup()` and
websocket handshake wiring into `connect_websocket()` /
`build_websocket_headers()`.
- Updated turn websocket path to adopt preconnect first, await in-flight
preconnect when present, then create a new websocket only when needed.
- Ensured fallback activation clears warmed preconnect state.
- Added documentation for lifecycle, ownership, sticky-routing
invariants, and timeout semantics.
`core/src/codex.rs`:
- Session startup invokes `model_client.pre_establish_connection(...)`.
- Turn metadata resolution uses the shared timeout helper.
`core/src/turn_metadata.rs`:
- Centralized shared timeout helper used by both turn-time metadata
resolution and startup preconnect metadata building.
`core/tests/common/responses.rs` + websocket test suites:
- Added deterministic handshake waiting helper (`wait_for_handshakes`)
with bounded polling.
- Added startup preconnect and in-flight preconnect reuse coverage.
- Fallback expectations now assert exactly two websocket attempts in
covered scenarios (startup preconnect + turn attempt before fallback
sticks).
## Observability
Preconnect remains best-effort and non-fatal. Existing
websocket/fallback telemetry remains in place, and debug logs now make
preconnect-await behavior and preconnect failures easier to reason
about.
## Tests
Validated with:
1. `just fmt`
2. `cargo test -p codex-core websocket_preconnect -- --nocapture`
3. `cargo test -p codex-core websocket_fallback -- --nocapture`
4. `cargo test -p codex-core
websocket_first_turn_waits_for_inflight_preconnect -- --nocapture`
## Summary
Add explicit, model-visible network policy decision metadata to blocked
proxy responses/errors.
Introduces a standardized prefix line: `CODEX_NETWORK_POLICY_DECISION
{json}`
and wires it through blocked paths for:
- HTTP requests
- HTTPS CONNECT
- SOCKS5 TCP/UDP denials
## Why
The model should see *why* a request was blocked
(reason/source/protocol/host/port) so it can choose the correct next
action.
## Notes
- This PR is intentionally independent of config-layering/network-rule
runtime integration.
- Focus is blocked decision surface only.
## Summary
This PR fixes a UI/streaming race when nudged or steer-enabled messages
are queued during an active Plan stream.
Previously, `submit_user_message_with_mode` switched collaboration mode
immediately (via `set_collaboration_mask`) even when the message was
queued. If that happened mid-Plan stream, `active_mode_kind` could flip
away from Plan before the turn finished, causing subsequent
`on_plan_delta` updates to be ignored in the UI.
Now, mode switching is deferred until the queued message is actually
submitted.
## What changed
- Added a per-message deferred mode override on `UserMessage`:
- `collaboration_mode_override: Option<CollaborationModeMask>`
- Updated `submit_user_message_with_mode` to:
- create a `UserMessage` carrying the mode override
- queue or submit that message without mutating global mode immediately
- Updated `submit_user_message` to:
- apply `collaboration_mode_override` just before constructing/sending
`Op::UserTurn`
- Kept queueing condition scoped to active Plan stream rendering:
- queue only while plan output is actively streaming in TUI
(`plan_stream_controller.is_some()`)
## Why
This preserves Plan mode for the remainder of the in-flight Plan turn,
so streamed plan deltas continue rendering correctly, while still
ensuring the follow-up queued message is sent with the intended
collaboration mode.
## Behavior after this change
- If a nudged/steer submission happens while Plan output is actively
streaming:
- message is queued
- UI stays in Plan mode for the running turn
- once dequeued/submitted, mode override is applied and the message is
sent in the intended mode
- If no Plan stream is active:
- submission proceeds immediately and mode override is applied as before
## Tests
Added/updated coverage in `tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`:
- `submit_user_message_with_mode_queues_while_plan_stream_is_active`
- asserts mode remains Plan while queued
- asserts mode switches to Code when queued message is actually
submitted
- `submit_user_message_with_mode_submits_when_plan_stream_is_not_active`
- `steer_enter_queues_while_plan_stream_is_active`
- `steer_enter_submits_when_plan_stream_is_not_active`
Also updated existing `UserMessage { ... }` test fixtures to include the
new field.

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

Currently, if a config value is set that fails the requirements, we exit
Codex.
Now, instead of this, we print a warning and default to a
requirements-permitting value.
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.
###### What
Remove special-casing that prevented auto-enabling `web_search` for
Azure model provider users. Addresses #10071, #10257.
###### Why
Azure fixed their responsesapi implementation; `web_search` is now
supported on models it wasn't before (like `gpt-5.1-codex-max`).
This request now works:
```
curl "$AZURE_API_ENDPOINT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $AZURE_API_KEY" -d '{
"model": "gpt-5.1-codex-max",
"tools": [
{ "type": "web_search" }
],
"tool_choice": "auto",
"input": "Find the sunrise time in Paris today and cite the source."
}'
```
###### Tests
Tested with above curl, removed Azure-specific tests.
- 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.
default-enablement of web_search is now client-side, no need to send
eligibility headers to backend.
Tested locally, headers no longer sent.
will wait for corresponding backend change to deploy before merging
So that the rest of the codebase (like TUI) don't need to be concerned
whether ChatGPT auth was handled by Codex itself or passed in via
app-server's external auth mode.

## Summary
- Adds a new `/statusline` command to configure TUI footer status line
- Introduces reusable `MultiSelectPicker` component with keyboard
navigation, optional ordering and toggle support
- Implement status line setup modal that persist configuration to
config.toml
## Status Line Items
The following items can be displayed in the status line:
- **Model**: Current model name (with optional reasoning level)
- **Context**: Remaining/used context window percentage
- **Rate Limits**: 5-day and weekly usage limits
- **Git**: Current branch (with optimized lookups)
- **Tokens**: Used tokens, input/output token counts
- **Session**: Session ID (full or shortened prefix)
- **Paths**: Current directory, project root
- **Version**: Codex version
## Features
- Live preview while configuring status line items
- Fuzzy search filtering in the picker
- Intelligent truncation when items don't fit
- Items gracefully omit when data is unavailable
- Configuration persists to `config.toml`
- Validates and warns about invalid status line items
## Test plan
- [x] Run `/statusline` and verify picker UI appears

This introduces a `Hooks` service. It registers hooks from config and
dispatches hook events at runtime.
N.B. The hook config is not wired up to this yet. But for legacy
reasons, we wire up `notify` from config and power it using hooks now.
Nothing about the `notify` interface has changed.
I'd start by reviewing `hooks/types.rs`
Some things to note:
- hook names subject to change
- no hook result yet
- stopping semantics yet to be introduced
- additional hooks yet to be introduced
