## Summary
Introduces the concept of a config model_personality. I would consider
this an MVP for testing out the feature. There are a number of
follow-ups to this PR:
- More sophisticated templating with validation
- In-product experience to manage this
## Testing
- [x] Testing locally
Fixes:
```
[sandbox_workspace_write]
writable_roots = ["~/code/"]
```
translates to
```
/Users/ccunningham/.codex/~/code
```
(i.e. the home dir symbol isn't recognized)
- Only use collaboration modes in the tui state to track model and
effort.
- No behavior change without the collaboration modes flag.
- Change model and effort on /model, /collab (behind a flag), and
shift+tab (behind flag)
Config includes multiple code execution entrypoints.
Now, we load the config from predetermined locations first
(~/.codex/config.toml etc), use those to learn which folders are
'trusted', and only load additional config from the CWD if it is
trusted.
Continuation of breaking up this PR
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.
## Summary
This PR consolidates base_instructions onto SessionMeta /
SessionConfiguration, so we ensure `base_instructions` is set once per
session and should be (mostly) immutable, unless:
- overridden by config on resume / fork
- sub-agent tasks, like review or collab
In a future PR, we should convert all references to `base_instructions`
to consistently used the typed struct, so it's less likely that we put
other strings there. See #9423. However, this PR is already quite
complex, so I'm deferring that to a follow-up.
## Testing
- [x] Added a resume test to assert that instructions are preserved. In
particular, `resume_switches_models_preserves_base_instructions` fails
against main.
Existing test coverage thats assert base instructions are preserved
across multiple requests in a session:
- Manual compact keeps baseline instructions:
core/tests/suite/compact.rs:199
- Auto-compact keeps baseline instructions:
core/tests/suite/compact.rs:1142
- Prompt caching reuses the same instructions across two requests:
core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:150 and
core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:157
- Prompt caching with explicit expected string across two requests:
core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:213 and
core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs:222
- Resume with model switch keeps original instructions:
core/tests/suite/resume.rs:136
- Compact/resume/fork uses request 0 instructions for later expected
payloads: core/tests/suite/compact_resume_fork.rs:215
- `tui/` and `tui2/` submit `Op::UserTurn` and own full turn context
(cwd/approval/sandbox/model/etc.).
- `Op::UserInput` is documented as legacy in `codex-protocol` (doc-only;
no `#[deprecated]` to avoid `-D warnings` fallout).
- Remove obsolete `#[allow(deprecated)]` and the unused `ConversationId`
alias/re-export.
Fixes#9450
## What
- When a task is running and the skills autocomplete popup is open,
`Esc` now dismisses the popup instead of sending `Op::Interrupt`.
- `Esc` still interrupts a running task when no popup is active.
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

### Summary
* Added instruction on using `request_user_input`
* Added the output to be json with `plan` key and the actual plan as the
value.
* Remove `PLAN.md` write because that gets into sandbox issue. We can
add it back later.
Users of Azure endpoints are reporting that when they use `/review`,
they sometimes see an error "Invalid 'input[3].id". I suspect this is
specific to the Azure implementation of the `responses` API. The Azure
team generally copies the OpenAI code for this endpoint, but they do
have minor differences and sometimes lag in rolling out bug fixes or
updates.
The error appears to be triggered because the `/review` implementation
is using a user ID with a colon in it.

We already support reading from `config.toml` through a symlink, but the
code was not properly handling updates to a symlinked config file. This
PR generalizes safe symlink-chain resolution and atomic writes into
path_utils, updating all config write paths to use the shared logic
(including set_default_oss_provider, which previously didn't use the
common path), and adds tests for symlink chains and cycles.
This resolves#6646.
Notes:
* Symlink cycles or resolution failures replace the top-level symlink
with a real file.
* Shared config write path now handles symlinks consistently across
edits, defaults, and empty-user-layer creation.

## Summary
When the transcript backtrack preview is armed (press `Esc`), allow
navigating to newer user messages with the `→` arrow, in addition to
navigating backwards with `Esc`/`←`, before confirming with `Enter`.
## Changes
- Backtrack preview navigation: `Esc`/`←` steps to older user messages,
`→` steps to newer ones, `Enter` edits the selected message (clamped at
bounds, no wrap-around).
- Transcript overlay footer hints updated to advertise `esc/←`, `→`, and
`enter` when a message is highlighted.

### Description
- Remove the now-unused `instructions` field from the session metadata
to simplify SessionMeta and stop propagating transient instruction text
through the rollout recorder API. This was only saving
user_instructions, and was never being read.
- Stop passing user instructions into the rollout writer at session
creation so the rollout header only contains canonical session metadata.
### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` which completed successfully.
- Ran `just fix -p codex-protocol`, `just fix -p codex-core`, `just fix
-p codex-app-server`, `just fix -p codex-tui`, and `just fix -p
codex-tui2` which completed (Clippy fixes applied) as part of
verification.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-protocol` which passed (28 tests).
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core` which showed failures in a small set of
tests (not caused by the protocol type change directly):
`default_client::tests::test_create_client_sets_default_headers`,
several `models_manager::manager::tests::refresh_available_models_*`,
and `shell_snapshot::tests::linux_sh_snapshot_includes_sections` (these
tests failed in this CI run).
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-app-server` which reported several failing
integration tests (including
`suite::codex_message_processor_flow::test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow`,
`suite::output_schema::send_user_turn_*`, and
`suite::user_agent::get_user_agent_returns_current_codex_user_agent`).
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` and `cargo test -p codex-tui2` were
attempted but aborted due to disk space exhaustion (`No space left on
device`).

## Summary
We have a variety of things we refer to as instructions in the code
base: our current canonical terms are:
- base instructions (raw string)
- developer instructions (has a type in protocol)
- user instructions
We also have `instructions` floating around in various places. We should
standardize on the above, and start using types to prevent them from
ending up in the wrong place. There will be additional PRs, but I'm
going to keep these small so we can easily follow them!
## Testing
- [x] Tests pass, this is purely a file move
Fix unified_exec_timeouts to use a unique variable value rather than
"codex" which was causing false positives when running tests locally
(presumably from my bash prompts). Discovered while running tests to
validate another change.
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/9413
Test Plan:
Ran test locally on my fedora 43 x86_64 machine with:
```
cd codex/cargo-rs
cargo nextest run --all-features --no-fail-fast unified_exec::tests::unified_exec_timeouts
```
Before, unified_exec_timeouts fails:
```

Document the backtrack/rollback state machine and invariants between the
transcript overlay, in-flight “live tail”, and core thread state (tui + tui2).
Also adjust behavior for correctness:
- Track a single pending rollback and block additional rollbacks until core responds.
- Defer trimming transcript cells until ThreadRolledBack for the active session.
- Clear the guard on ThreadRollbackFailed so the user can retry.
- After a confirmed trim, schedule a one-shot scrollback refresh on the next draw.
- Clear stale pending rollback state when switching sessions.

**Goal**: Prevent response.failed events with `invalid_prompt` from
being treated as retryable errors so the UI shows the actual error
message instead of continually retrying.
**Before**: Codex would continue to retry despite the prompt being
marked as disallowed
**After**: Codex will stop retrying once prompt is marked disallowed
- Merge `model` and `reasoning_effort` under collaboration modes.
- Add additional instructions for custom collaboration mode
- Default to Custom to not change behavior
