## Summary
- add the v2 `thread/metadata/update` API, including
protocol/schema/TypeScript exports and app-server docs
- patch stored thread `gitInfo` in sqlite without resuming the thread,
with validation plus support for explicit `null` clears
- repair missing sqlite thread rows from rollout data before patching,
and make those repairs safe by inserting only when absent and updating
only git columns so newer metadata is not clobbered
- keep sqlite authoritative for mutable thread git metadata by
preserving existing sqlite git fields during reconcile/backfill and only
using rollout `SessionMeta` git fields to fill gaps
- add regression coverage for the endpoint, repair paths, concurrent
sqlite writes, clearing git fields, and rollout/backfill reconciliation
- fix the login server shutdown race so cancelling before the waiter
starts still terminates `block_until_done()` correctly
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-state
apply_rollout_items_preserves_existing_git_branch_and_fills_missing_git_fields`
- `cargo test -p codex-state
update_thread_git_info_preserves_newer_non_git_metadata`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
backfill_sessions_preserves_existing_git_branch_and_fills_missing_git_fields`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_metadata_update`
- `cargo test`
- currently fails in existing `codex-core` grep-files tests with
`unsupported call: grep_files`:
- `suite::grep_files::grep_files_tool_collects_matches`
- `suite::grep_files::grep_files_tool_reports_empty_results`
## Summary
- write app-server SQLite logs at TRACE level when SQLite is enabled
- source app-server `/feedback` log attachments from SQLite for the
requested thread when available
- flush buffered SQLite log writes before `/feedback` queries them so
newly emitted events are not lost behind the async inserter
- include same-process threadless SQLite rows in those `/feedback` logs
so the attachment matches the process-wide feedback buffer more closely
- keep the existing in-memory ring buffer fallback unchanged, including
when the SQLite query returns no rows
## Details
- add a byte-bounded `query_feedback_logs` helper in `codex-state` so
`/feedback` does not fetch all rows before truncating
- scope SQLite feedback logs to the requested thread plus threadless
rows from the same `process_uuid`
- format exported SQLite feedback lines with the log level prefix to
better match the in-memory feedback formatter
- add an explicit `LogDbLayer::flush()` control path and await it in
app-server before querying SQLite for feedback logs
- pass optional SQLite log bytes through `codex-feedback` as the
`codex-logs.log` attachment override
- leave TUI behavior unchanged apart from the updated `upload_feedback`
call signature
- add regression coverage for:
- newest-within-budget ordering
- excluding oversized newest rows
- including same-process threadless rows
- keeping the newest suffix across mixed thread and threadless rows
- matching the feedback formatter shape aside from span prefixes
- falling back to the in-memory snapshot when SQLite returns no logs
- flushing buffered SQLite rows before querying
## Follow-up
- SQLite feedback exports still do not reproduce span prefixes like
`feedback-thread{thread_id=...}:`; there is a `TODO(ccunningham)` in
`codex-rs/state/src/log_db.rs` for that follow-up.
## Testing
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-state`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-app-server`
- `cd codex-rs && just fmt`
## Summary
- record a realtime close developer message when a new realtime session
replaces an active one
- assert the replacement marker through the mocked responses request
path

#### what
adds a `codex debug clear-memories` command to help with clearing all
memories state from disk, sqlite db, and marking threads as
`memory_mode=disabled` so they don't get resummarized when the
`memories` feature is re-enabled.
#### tests
add tests
## Summary
This PR includes the session's local date and timezone in the
model-visible environment context and persists that data in
`TurnContextItem`.
## What changed
- captures the current local date and IANA timezone when building a turn
context, with a UTC fallback if the timezone lookup fails
- includes current_date and timezone in the serialized
<environment_context> payload
- stores those fields on TurnContextItem so they survive rollout/history
handling, subagent review threads, and resume flows
- treats date/timezone changes as environment updates, so prompt caching
and context refresh logic do not silently reuse stale time context
- updates tests to validate the new environment fields without depending
on a single hardcoded environment-context string
## test
built a local build and saw it in the rollout file:
```
{"timestamp":"2026-02-26T21:39:50.737Z","type":"response_item","payload":{"type":"message","role":"user","content":[{"type":"input_text","text":"<environment_context>\n <shell>zsh</shell>\n <current_date>2026-02-26</current_date>\n <timezone>America/Los_Angeles</timezone>\n</environment_context>"}]}}
```
Summary:
- add a `--compact` flag to the logs client to suppress thread/target
info
- format rows and timestamps differently when compact mode is enabled so
only hour time, level, and message remain
Summary
- extend the log client to accept an optional `--search` substring
filter when querying codex-state logs
- propagate the filter through `LogQuery` and apply it in
`push_log_filters` via `INSTR(message, ...)`
- add an integration test that exercises the new search filtering
behavior
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
This PR is the first slice of the per-session `/feedback` logging work:
it adds a process-unique identifier to SQLite log rows.
It does **not** change `/feedback` sourcing behavior yet.
## Changes
- Add migration `0009_logs_process_id.sql` to extend `logs` with:
- `process_uuid TEXT`
- `idx_logs_process_uuid` index
- Extend state log models:
- `LogEntry.process_uuid: Option<String>`
- `LogRow.process_uuid: Option<String>`
- Stamp each log row with a stable per-process UUID in the sqlite log
layer:
- generated once per process as `pid:<pid>:<uuid>`
- Update sqlite log insert/query paths to persist and read
`process_uuid`:
- `INSERT INTO logs (..., process_uuid, ...)`
- `SELECT ..., process_uuid, ... FROM logs`
## Why
App-server runs many sessions in one process. This change provides a
process-scoping primitive we need for follow-up `/feedback` work, so
threadless/process-level logs can be associated with the emitting
process without mixing across processes.
## Non-goals in this PR
- No `/feedback` transport/source changes
- No attachment size changes
- No sqlite retention/trim policy changes
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- CI will run the full checks
Summary
- trim `state_db::list_threads_db` results to entries whose rollout
files still exist, logging and recording a discrepancy for dropped rows
- delete stale metadata rows from the SQLite store so future calls don’t
surface invalid paths
- add regression coverage in `recorder.rs` to verify stale DB paths are
dropped when the file is missing
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` previously implied broad read access and could
not express a narrower read surface.
This change introduces an explicit read-access model so we can support
user-configurable read restrictions in follow-up work, while preserving
current behavior today.
It also ensures unsupported backends fail closed for restricted-read
policies instead of silently granting broader access than intended.
## What
- Added `ReadOnlyAccess` in protocol with:
- `Restricted { include_platform_defaults, readable_roots }`
- `FullAccess`
- Updated `SandboxPolicy` to carry read-access configuration:
- `ReadOnly { access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- `WorkspaceWrite { ..., read_only_access: ReadOnlyAccess }`
- Preserved existing behavior by defaulting current construction paths
to `ReadOnlyAccess::FullAccess`.
- Threaded the new fields through sandbox policy consumers and call
sites across `core`, `tui`, `linux-sandbox`, `windows-sandbox`, and
related tests.
- Updated Seatbelt policy generation to honor restricted read roots by
emitting scoped read rules when full read access is not granted.
- Added fail-closed behavior on Linux and Windows backends when
restricted read access is requested but not yet implemented there
(`UnsupportedOperation`).
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema and TypeScript artifacts,
including `ReadOnlyAccess`.
## Compatibility / rollout
- Runtime behavior remains unchanged by default (`FullAccess`).
- API/schema changes are in place so future config wiring can enable
restricted read access without another policy-shape migration.
stage1_concurrent_claims_respect_running_cap was flaky due to SQLite
lock contention, not cap logic correctness. The claim flow used deferred
transactions (BEGIN) with read-then-write behavior, which can fail under
concurrency with SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT/database is locked when upgrading
a read transaction to a write transaction. We fixed this by using BEGIN
IMMEDIATE for stage1 and phase2 claim paths, so lock acquisition happens
up front and contenders serialize cleanly instead of failing during
upgrade. After the change, codex-state tests pass and stress reruns of
the flaky path no longer reproduced the failure.
## Summary
Add a DB-backed lease to prevent duplicate `.sqlite` backfill workers
from running concurrently.
### What changed
- Added StateRuntime::try_claim_backfill(lease_seconds) that atomically
claims backfill only when:
- backfill is not complete, and
- no fresh running worker currently owns it.
- Updated backfill_sessions to use the claim API and exit early when
another worker already holds the lease.
- Added runtime tests covering:
- singleton claim behavior,
- stale lease takeover,
- claim blocked after complete.
- Set backfill lease to 900s in production and 1s in tests.
### Why
This avoids duplicate backfill work and reduces backfill status churn
under concurrent startup, while preserving
current best-effort fallback behavior.
# Memories migration plan (simplified global workflow)
## Target behavior
- One shared memory root only: `~/.codex/memories/`.
- No per-cwd memory buckets, no cwd hash handling.
- Phase 1 candidate rules:
- Not currently being processed unless the job lease is stale.
- Rollout updated within the max-age window (currently 30 days).
- Rollout idle for at least 12 hours (new constant).
- Global cap: at most 64 stage-1 jobs in `running` state at any time
(new invariant).
- Stage-1 model output shape (new):
- `rollout_slug` (accepted but ignored for now).
- `rollout_summary`.
- `raw_memory`.
- Phase-1 artifacts written under the shared root:
- `rollout_summaries/<thread_id>.md` for each rollout summary.
- `raw_memories.md` containing appended/merged raw memory paragraphs.
- Phase 2 runs one consolidation agent for the shared `memories/`
directory.
- Phase-2 lock is DB-backed with 1 hour lease and heartbeat/expiry.
## Current code map
- Core startup pipeline: `core/src/memories/startup/mod.rs`.
- Stage-1 request+parse: `core/src/memories/startup/extract.rs`,
`core/src/memories/stage_one.rs`, templates in
`core/templates/memories/`.
- File materialization: `core/src/memories/storage.rs`,
`core/src/memories/layout.rs`.
- Scope routing (cwd/user): `core/src/memories/scope.rs`,
`core/src/memories/startup/mod.rs`.
- DB job lifecycle and scope queueing: `state/src/runtime/memory.rs`.
## PR plan
## PR 1: Correct phase-1 selection invariants (no behavior-breaking
layout changes yet)
- Add `PHASE_ONE_MIN_ROLLOUT_IDLE_HOURS: i64 = 12` in
`core/src/memories/mod.rs`.
- Thread this into `state::claim_stage1_jobs_for_startup(...)`.
- Enforce idle-time filter in DB selection logic (not only in-memory
filtering after `scan_limit`) so eligible threads are not starved by
very recent threads.
- Enforce global running cap of 64 at claim time in DB logic:
- Count fresh `memory_stage1` running jobs.
- Only allow new claims while count < cap.
- Keep stale-lease takeover behavior intact.
- Add/adjust tests in `state/src/runtime.rs`:
- Idle filter inclusion/exclusion around 12h boundary.
- Global running-cap guarantee.
- Existing stale/fresh ownership behavior still passes.
Acceptance criteria:
- Startup never creates more than 64 fresh `memory_stage1` running jobs.
- Threads updated <12h ago are skipped.
- Threads older than 30d are skipped.
## PR 2: Stage-1 output contract + storage artifacts
(forward-compatible)
- Update parser/types to accept the new structured output while keeping
backward compatibility:
- Add `rollout_slug` (optional for now).
- Add `rollout_summary`.
- Keep alias support for legacy `summary` and `rawMemory` until prompt
swap completes.
- Update stage-1 schema generator in `core/src/memories/stage_one.rs` to
include the new keys.
- Update prompt templates:
- `core/templates/memories/stage_one_system.md`.
- `core/templates/memories/stage_one_input.md`.
- Replace storage model in `core/src/memories/storage.rs`:
- Introduce `rollout_summaries/` directory writer (`<thread_id>.md`
files).
- Introduce `raw_memories.md` aggregator writer from DB rows.
- Keep deterministic rebuild behavior from DB outputs so files can
always be regenerated.
- Update consolidation prompt template to reference `rollout_summaries/`
+ `raw_memories.md` inputs.
Acceptance criteria:
- Stage-1 accepts both old and new output keys during migration.
- Phase-1 artifacts are generated in new format from DB state.
- No dependence on per-thread files in `raw_memories/`.
## PR 3: Remove per-cwd memories and move to one global memory root
- Simplify layout in `core/src/memories/layout.rs`:
- Single root: `codex_home/memories`.
- Remove cwd-hash bucket helpers and normalization logic used only for
memory pathing.
- Remove scope branching from startup phase-2 dispatch path:
- No cwd/user mapping in `core/src/memories/startup/mod.rs`.
- One target root for consolidation.
- In `state/src/runtime/memory.rs`, stop enqueueing/handling cwd
consolidation scope.
- Keep one logical consolidation scope/job key (global/user) to avoid a
risky schema rewrite in same PR.
- Add one-time migration helper (core side) to preserve current shared
memory output:
- If `~/.codex/memories/user/memory` exists and new root is empty,
move/copy contents into `~/.codex/memories`.
- Leave old hashed cwd buckets untouched for now (safe/no-destructive
migration).
Acceptance criteria:
- New runs only read/write `~/.codex/memories`.
- No new cwd-scoped consolidation jobs are enqueued.
- Existing user-shared memory content is preserved.
## PR 4: Phase-2 global lock simplification and cleanup
- Replace multi-scope dispatch with a single global consolidation claim
path:
- Either reuse jobs table with one fixed key, or add a tiny dedicated
lock helper; keep 1h lease.
- Ensure at most one consolidation agent can run at once.
- Keep heartbeat + stale lock recovery semantics in
`core/src/memories/startup/watch.rs`.
- Remove dead scope code and legacy constants no longer used.
- Update tests:
- One-agent-at-a-time behavior.
- Lock expiry allows takeover after stale lease.
Acceptance criteria:
- Exactly one phase-2 consolidation agent can be active cluster-wide
(per local DB).
- Stale lock recovers automatically.
## PR 5: Final cleanup and docs
- Remove legacy artifacts and references:
- `raw_memories/` and `memory_summary.md` assumptions from
prompts/comments/tests.
- Scope constants for cwd memory pathing in core/state if fully unused.
- Update docs under `docs/` for memory workflow and directory layout.
- Add a brief operator note for rollout: compatibility window for old
stage-1 JSON keys and when to remove aliases.
Acceptance criteria:
- Code and docs reflect only the simplified global workflow.
- No stale references to per-cwd memory buckets.
## Notes on sequencing
- PR 1 is safest first because it improves correctness without changing
external artifact layout.
- PR 2 keeps parser compatibility so prompt deployment can happen
independently.
- PR 3 and PR 4 split filesystem/scope simplification from locking
simplification to reduce blast radius.
- PR 5 is intentionally cleanup-only.

## Align with the new phase-1 design
Basically we know run phase 1 in parallel by considering:
* Max 64 rollouts
* Max 1 month old
* Consider the most recent first
This PR also adds stronger parallelization capabilities by detecting
stale jobs, retry policies, ownership of computation to prevent double
computations etc etc
Summary:
- read conversation summaries and cwd info from the state DB when
possible so we no longer rely on rollout files for metadata and avoid
extra I/O
- persist CLI version in thread metadata, surface it through summary
builders, and add the necessary DB migration hooks
- simplify thread listing by using enriched state DB data directly
rather than reading rollout heads
Testing:
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
This PR makes SQLite rollout backfill resumable and repeatable instead
of one-shot-on-db-create.
## What changed
- Added a persisted backfill state table:
- state/migrations/0008_backfill_state.sql
- Tracks status (pending|running|complete), last_watermark, and
last_success_at.
- Added backfill state model/types in codex-state:
- BackfillState, BackfillStatus (state/src/model/backfill_state.rs)
- Added runtime APIs to manage backfill lifecycle/progress:
- get_backfill_state
- mark_backfill_running
- checkpoint_backfill
- mark_backfill_complete
- Updated core startup behavior:
- Backfill now runs whenever state is not Complete (not only when DB
file is newly created).
- Reworked backfill execution:
- Collect rollout files, derive deterministic watermark per path, sort,
resume from last_watermark.
- Process in batches (BACKFILL_BATCH_SIZE = 200), checkpoint after each
batch.
- Mark complete with last_success_at at the end.
## Why
Previous behavior could leave users permanently partially backfilled if
the process exited during initial async backfill. This change allows
safe continuation across restarts and avoids restarting from scratch.
- Schema: thread_id (PK, FK to threads.id with cascade delete),
trace_summary, memory_summary, updated_at.
- Migration: creates the table and an index on (updated_at DESC,
thread_id DESC) for efficient recent-first reads.
- Runtime API (DB-only):
- `get_thread_memory(thread_id)`: fetch one memory row.
- `upsert_thread_memory(thread_id, trace_summary, memory_summary)`:
insert/update by thread id and always advance updated_at.
- `get_last_n_thread_memories_for_cwd(cwd, n)`: join thread_memory with
threads and return newest n rows for an exact cwd match.
- Model layer: introduced ThreadMemory and row conversion types to keep
query decoding typed and consistent with existing state models.
