### Summary
Propagate trace context originating at app-server RPC method handlers ->
codex core submission loop (so this includes spans such as `run_turn`!).
This implements PR 2 of the app-server tracing rollout.
This also removes the old lower-level env-based reparenting in core so
explicit request/submission ancestry wins instead of being overridden by
ambient `TRACEPARENT` state.
### What changed
- Added `trace: Option<W3cTraceContext>` to codex_protocol::Submission
- Taught `Codex::submit()` / `submit_with_id()` to automatically capture
the current span context when constructing or forwarding a submission
- Wrapped the core submission loop in a submission_dispatch span
parented from Submission.trace
- Warn on invalid submission trace carriers and ignore them cleanly
- Removed the old env-based downstream reparenting path in core task
execution
- Stopped OTEL provider init from implicitly attaching env trace context
process-wide
- Updated mcp-server Submission call sites for the new field
Added focused unit tests for:
- capturing trace context into Submission
- preferring `Submission.trace` when building the core dispatch span
### Why
PR 1 gave us consistent inbound request spans in app-server, but that
only covered the transport boundary. For long-running work like turns
and reviews, the important missing piece was preserving ancestry after
the request handler returns and core continues work on a different async
path.
This change makes that handoff explicit and keeps the parentage rules
simple:
- app-server request span sets the current context
- `Submission.trace` snapshots that context
- core restores it once, at the submission boundary
- deeper core spans inherit naturally
That also lets us stop relying on env-based reparenting for this path,
which was too ambient and could override explicit ancestry.
followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13212 to expose fast
tier controls to app server
(majority of this PR is generated schema jsons - actual code is +69 /
-35 and +24 tests )
- add service tier fields to the app-server protocol surfaces used by
thread lifecycle, turn start, config, and session configured events
- thread service tier through the app-server message processor and core
thread config snapshots
- allow runtime config overrides to carry service tier for app-server
callers
cleanup:
- Removing useless "legacy" code supporting "standard" - we moved to
None | "fast", so "standard" is not needed.
- add a local Fast mode setting in codex-core (similar to how model id
is currently stored on disk locally)
- send `service_tier=priority` on requests when Fast is enabled
- add `/fast` in the TUI and persist it locally
- feature flag
Addresses #12913
`codex exec` was not correctly defaulting to Otel metrics to enabled
`codex mcp-server` completely lacked an Otel collector
Summary:
- default to enabling analytics when `codex exec` initializes
OpenTelemetry so the CLI actually reports metrics again
- add a regression test that proves the flag remains enabled by default
- added Otel collector to `codex mcp-server`
Addresses #12566
Summary
- stop printing the final assistant message on stdout when the process
is running in a terminal so interactive users only see it once
- add a helper that gates the stdout emission and cover it with unit
tests
Summary is a required parameter on UserTurn. Ideally we'd like the core
to decide the appropriate summary level.
Make the summary optional and don't send it when not needed.
## Summary
- make `Config.model_reasoning_summary` optional so unset means use
model default
- resolve the optional config value to a concrete summary when building
`TurnContext`
- add protocol support for `default_reasoning_summary` in model metadata
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib client::tests -- --nocapture`

This reverts commit https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12633. We no
longer need this PR, because we favor sending normal exec command
approval server request with `additional_permissions` of skill
permissions instead
## 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.

Summary
- mark `output-last-message` as a global exec flag so it can follow
subcommands like `resume`
- add regression tests in both `cli` and `exec` crates verifying the
flag order works when invoking `resume`
Fixes#12538
## 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`
- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
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`.
### Summary
Builiding off
5c75aa7b89 (diff-058ae8f109a8b84b4b79bbfa45f522c2233b9d9e139696044ae374d50b6196e0),
we have created a `model/rerouted` notification that captures the event
so that consumers can render as expected. Keep the `EventMsg::Warning`
path in core so that this does not affect TUI rendering.
`model/rerouted` is meant to be generic to account for future usage
including capacity planning etc.
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`.
Problem:
1. turn id is constructed in-memory;
2. on resuming threads, turn_id might not be unique;
3. client cannot no the boundary of a turn from rollout files easily.
This PR does three things:
1. persist `task_started` and `task_complete` events;
1. persist `turn_id` in rollout turn events;
5. generate turn_id as unique uuids instead of incrementing it in
memory.
This helps us resolve the issue of clients wanting to have unique turn
ids for resuming a thread, and knowing the boundry of each turn in
rollout files.

backward compatibility:
if you try to resume an old session without task_started and
task_complete event populated, the following happens:
- If you resume and do nothing: those reconstructed historical IDs can
differ next time you resume.
- If you resume and send a new turn: the new turn gets a fresh UUID from
live submission flow and is persisted, so that new turn’s ID is stable
on later resumes.
I think this behavior is fine, because we only care about deterministic
turn id once a turn is triggered.
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 the new resume_agent collab tool path through core, protocol, and
the app server API, including the resume events
- update the schema/TypeScript definitions plus docs so resume_agent
appears in generated artifacts and README
- note that resumed agents rehydrate rollout history without overwriting
their base instructions
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
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
### Motivation
- Ensure `codex exec` exits when a running turn is interrupted (e.g.,
Ctrl-C) so the CLI is not "immortal" when websockets/streaming are used.
### Description
- Return `CodexStatus::InitiateShutdown` when handling
`EventMsg::TurnAborted` in
`exec/src/event_processor_with_human_output.rs` so human-output exec
mode shuts down after an interrupt.
- Treat `protocol::EventMsg::TurnAborted` as
`CodexStatus::InitiateShutdown` in
`exec/src/event_processor_with_jsonl_output.rs` so JSONL output mode
behaves the same.
- Applied formatting with `just fmt`.
### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` successfully.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-exec`; many unit tests ran and the test
command completed, but the full test run in this environment produced
`35 passed, 11 failed` where the failures are due to Landlock sandbox
panics and 403 responses in the test harness (environmental/integration
issues) and are not caused by the interrupt/shutdown changes.

[Codex
Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_698165cec4e083258d17702bd29014c1)
We started working with MCP in Codex before
https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
8b95d3e082/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
Note this PR results in a number of changes to
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
```diff
- export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
+ export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
```typescript
export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
```
so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
great concern.
Similarly, we have the following change in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
```
- export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
+ export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so:
- `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`

## Summary
- Stream proposed plans in Plan Mode using `<proposed_plan>` tags parsed
in core, emitting plan deltas plus a plan `ThreadItem`, while stripping
tags from normal assistant output.
- Persist plan items and rebuild them on resume so proposed plans show
in thread history.
- Wire plan items/deltas through app-server protocol v2 and render a
dedicated proposed-plan view in the TUI, including the “Implement this
plan?” prompt only when a plan item is present.
## Changes
### Core (`codex-rs/core`)
- Added a generic, line-based tag parser that buffers each line until it
can disprove a tag prefix; implements auto-close on `finish()` for
unterminated tags. `codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`
- Refactored proposed plan parsing to wrap the generic parser.
`codex-rs/core/src/proposed_plan_parser.rs`
- In plan mode, stream assistant deltas as:
- **Normal text** → `AgentMessageContentDelta`
- **Plan text** → `PlanDelta` + `TurnItem::Plan` start/completion
(`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`)
- Final plan item content is derived from the completed assistant
message (authoritative), not necessarily the concatenated deltas.
- Strips `<proposed_plan>` blocks from assistant text in plan mode so
tags don’t appear in normal messages.
(`codex-rs/core/src/stream_events_utils.rs`)
- Persist `ItemCompleted` events only for plan items for rollout replay.
(`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/policy.rs`)
- Guard `update_plan` tool in Plan Mode with a clear error message.
(`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/plan.rs`)
- Updated Plan Mode prompt to:
- keep `<proposed_plan>` out of non-final reasoning/preambles
- require exact tag formatting
- allow only one `<proposed_plan>` block per turn
(`codex-rs/core/templates/collaboration_mode/plan.md`)
### Protocol / App-server protocol
- Added `TurnItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaEvent` to core protocol items.
(`codex-rs/protocol/src/items.rs`, `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`)
- Added v2 `ThreadItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaNotification` with
EXPERIMENTAL markers and note that deltas may not match the final plan
item. (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`)
- Added plan delta route in app-server protocol common mapping.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs`)
- Rebuild plan items from persisted `ItemCompleted` events on resume.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/thread_history.rs`)
### App-server
- Forward plan deltas to v2 clients and map core plan items to v2 plan
items. (`codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs`,
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`)
- Added v2 plan item tests.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
### TUI
- Added a dedicated proposed plan history cell with special background
and padding, and moved “• Proposed Plan” outside the highlighted block.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`, `codex-rs/tui/src/style.rs`)
- Only show “Implement this plan?” when a plan item exists.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`,
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`)

### Docs / Misc
- Updated protocol docs to mention plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/docs/protocol_v1.md`)
- Minor plumbing updates in exec/debug clients to tolerate plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/debug-client/src/reader.rs`, `codex-rs/exec/...`)
## Tests
- Added core integration tests:
- Plan mode strips plan from agent messages.
- Missing `</proposed_plan>` closes at end-of-message.
(`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/items.rs`)
- Added unit tests for generic tag parser (prefix buffering, non-tag
lines, auto-close). (`codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`)
- Existing app-server plan item tests in v2.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
## Notes / Behavior
- Plan output no longer appears in standard assistant text in Plan Mode;
it streams via `PlanDelta` and completes as a `TurnItem::Plan`.
- The final plan item content is authoritative and may diverge from
streamed deltas (documented as experimental).
- Reasoning summaries are not filtered; prompt instructs the model not
to include `<proposed_plan>` outside the final plan message.

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

Fix resume --last prompt parsing by dropping the clap conflict on the
codex resume subcommand so a positional prompt is accepted when --last
is set. This aligns interactive resume behavior with exec-mode logic and
avoids the “--last cannot be used with SESSION_ID” error.
This addresses #6717
### 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
## Summary
Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
into the model tool pipeline.
### Flow (high level)
- Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
thread (validation is done here).
- When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
`DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
- The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
core.
- Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
request so the model can continue.
### What changed
- Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
execution.
- Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
- App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
- Integration tests
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.
