## Summary
- bundle contextual prompt injection into at most one developer message
plus one contextual user message in both:
- per-turn settings updates
- initial context insertion
- preserve `<model_switch>` across compaction by rebuilding it through
canonical initial-context injection, instead of relying on
strip/reattach hacks
- centralize contextual user fragment detection in one shared definition
table and reuse it for parsing/compaction logic
- keep `AGENTS.md` in its natural serialized format:
- `# AGENTS.md instructions for {dirname}`
- `<INSTRUCTIONS>...</INSTRUCTIONS>`
- simplify related tests/helpers and accept the expected snapshot/layout
updates from bundled multi-part messages
## Why
The goal is to converge toward a simpler, more intentional prompt shape
where contextual updates are consistently represented as one developer
envelope plus one contextual user envelope, while keeping parsing and
compaction behavior aligned with that representation.
## Notable details
- the temporary `SettingsUpdateEnvelope` wrapper was removed; these
paths now return `Vec<ResponseItem>` directly
- local/remote compaction no longer rely on model-switch strip/restore
helpers
- contextual user detection is now driven by shared fragment definitions
instead of ad hoc matcher assembly
- AGENTS/user instructions are still the same logical context; only the
synthetic `<user_instructions>` wrapper was replaced by the natural
AGENTS text format

## Notes
- I also ran several targeted `compact`, `compact_remote`,
`prompt_caching`, `model_visible_layout`, and `event_mapping` tests
while iterating on prompt-shape changes.
- I have not claimed a clean full-workspace `cargo test` from this
environment because local sandbox/resource conditions have previously
produced unrelated failures in large workspace runs.
## Summary
The test exec_resume_last_respects_cwd_filter_and_all_flag makes one
session “newest” by resuming it, but rollout updated_at is stored/sorted
at second precision. On fast CI (especially Windows), the touch could
land in the same second as initial session creation, making ordering
nondeterministic.
This change adds a short sleep before the recency-touch step so the
resumed session is guaranteed to have a later updated_at, preserving the
intended assertion without changing product behavior.
## Why
`codex-rs/arg0` only needed two things from `codex-core`:
- the `find_codex_home()` wrapper
- the special argv flag used for the internal `apply_patch`
self-invocation path
That made `codex-arg0` depend on `codex-core` for a very small surface
area. This change removes that dependency edge and moves the shared
`apply_patch` invocation flag to a more natural boundary
(`codex-apply-patch`) while keeping the contract explicitly documented.
## What Changed
- Moved the internal `apply_patch` argv[1] flag constant out of
`codex-core` and into `codex-apply-patch`.
- Renamed the constant to `CODEX_CORE_APPLY_PATCH_ARG1` and documented
that it is part of the Codex core process-invocation contract (even
though it now lives in `codex-apply-patch`).
- Updated `arg0`, the core apply-patch runtime, and the `codex-exec`
apply-patch test to import the constant from `codex-apply-patch`.
- Updated `codex-rs/arg0` to call
`codex_utils_home_dir::find_codex_home()` directly instead of
`codex_core::config::find_codex_home()`.
- Removed the `codex-core` dependency from `codex-rs/arg0` and added the
needed direct dependency on `codex-utils-home-dir`.
- Added `codex-apply-patch` as a dev-dependency for `codex-rs/exec`
tests (the apply-patch test now imports the moved constant directly).
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-apply-patch`
- `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib apply_patch`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec
test_standalone_exec_cli_can_use_apply_patch`
- `cargo shear`
## 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`
This PR adds an experimental `persist_extended_history` bool flag to
app-server thread APIs so rollout logs can retain a richer set of
EventMsgs for non-lossy Thread > Turn > ThreadItems reconstruction (i.e.
on `thread/resume`).
### Motivation
Today, our rollout recorder only persists a small subset (e.g. user
message, reasoning, assistant message) of `EventMsg` types, dropping a
good number (like command exec, file change, etc.) that are important
for reconstructing full item history for `thread/resume`, `thread/read`,
and `thread/fork`.
Some clients want to be able to resume a thread without lossiness. This
lossiness is primarily a UI thing, since what the model sees are
`ResponseItem` and not `EventMsg`.
### Approach
This change introduces an opt-in `persist_full_history` flag to preserve
those events when you start/resume/fork a thread (defaults to `false`).
This is done by adding an `EventPersistenceMode` to the rollout
recorder:
- `Limited` (existing behavior, default)
- `Extended` (new opt-in behavior)
In `Extended` mode, persist additional `EventMsg` variants needed for
non-lossy app-server `ThreadItem` reconstruction. We now store the
following ThreadItems that we didn't before:
- web search
- command execution
- patch/file changes
- MCP tool calls
- image view calls
- collab tool outcomes
- context compaction
- review mode enter/exit
For **command executions** in particular, we truncate the output using
the existing `truncate_text` from core to store an upper bound of 10,000
bytes, which is also the default value for truncating tool outputs shown
to the model. This keeps the size of the rollout file and command
execution items returned over the wire reasonable.
And we also persist `EventMsg::Error` which we can now map back to the
Turn's status and populates the Turn's error metadata.
#### Updates to EventMsgs
To truly make `thread/resume` non-lossy, we also needed to persist the
`status` on `EventMsg::CommandExecutionEndEvent` and
`EventMsg::PatchApplyEndEvent`. Previously it was not obvious whether a
command failed or was declined (similar for apply_patch). These
EventMsgs were never persisted before so I made it a required field.
`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.
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.
As of this PR, `SessionServices` retains a
`Option<StartedNetworkProxy>`, if appropriate.
Now the `network` field on `Config` is `Option<NetworkProxySpec>`
instead of `Option<NetworkProxy>`.
Over in `Session::new()`, we invoke `NetworkProxySpec::start_proxy()` to
create the `StartedNetworkProxy`, which is a new struct that retains the
`NetworkProxy` as well as the `NetworkProxyHandle`. (Note that `Drop` is
implemented for `NetworkProxyHandle` to ensure the proxies are shutdown
when it is dropped.)
The `NetworkProxy` from the `StartedNetworkProxy` is threaded through to
the appropriate places.

- have `codex exec` and `codex app-server` thread start/resume fail fast

## Summary
This PR introduces a gated Bubblewrap (bwrap) Linux sandbox path. The
curent Linux sandbox path relies on in-process restrictions (including
Landlock). Bubblewrap gives us a more uniform filesystem isolation
model, especially explicit writable roots with the option to make some
directories read-only and granular network controls.
This is behind a feature flag so we can validate behavior safely before
making it the default.
- Added temporary rollout flag:
- `features.use_linux_sandbox_bwrap`
- Preserved existing default path when the flag is off.
- In Bubblewrap mode:
- Added internal retry without /proc when /proc mount is not permitted
by the host/container.
## Summary
This PR simplifies collaboration modes to the visible set `default |
plan`, while preserving backward compatibility for older partners that
may still send legacy mode
names.
Specifically:
- Renames the old Code behavior to **Default**.
- Keeps **Plan** as-is.
- Removes **Custom** mode behavior (fallbacks now resolve to Default).
- Keeps `PairProgramming` and `Execute` internally for compatibility
plumbing, while removing them from schema/API and UI visibility.
- Adds legacy input aliasing so older clients can still send old mode
names.
## What Changed
1. Mode enum and compatibility
- `ModeKind` now uses `Plan` + `Default` as active/public modes.
- `ModeKind::Default` deserialization accepts legacy values:
- `code`
- `pair_programming`
- `execute`
- `custom`
- `PairProgramming` and `Execute` variants remain in code but are hidden
from protocol/schema generation.
- `Custom` variant is removed; previous custom fallbacks now map to
`Default`.
2. Collaboration presets and templates
- Built-in presets now return only:
- `Plan`
- `Default`
- Template rename:
- `core/templates/collaboration_mode/code.md` -> `default.md`
- `execute.md` and `pair_programming.md` remain on disk but are not
surfaced in visible preset lists.
3. TUI updates
- Updated user-facing naming and prompts from “Code” to “Default”.
- Updated mode-cycle and indicator behavior to reflect only visible
`Plan` and `Default`.
- Updated corresponding tests and snapshots.
4. request_user_input behavior
- `request_user_input` remains allowed only in `Plan` mode.
- Rejection messaging now consistently treats non-plan modes as
`Default`.
5. Schemas
- Regenerated config and app-server schemas.
- Public schema types now advertise mode values as:
- `plan`
- `default`
## Backward Compatibility Notes
- Incoming legacy mode names (`code`, `pair_programming`, `execute`,
`custom`) are accepted and coerced to `default`.
- Outgoing/public schema surfaces intentionally expose only `plan |
default`.
- This allows tolerant ingestion of older partner payloads while
standardizing new integrations on the reduced mode set.
## Codex author
`codex fork 019c1fae-693b-7840-b16e-9ad38ea0bd00`
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`)

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69794c8c-f96b-4d36-92ef-c1f5c3a8f286"
/>
### 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.

we can't use runfiles directory on Windows due to path lengths, so swap
to manifest strategy. Parsing the manifest is a bit complex and the
format is changing in Bazel upstream, so pull in the official Rust
library (via a small hack to make it importable...) and cleanup all the
associated logic to work cleanly in both bazel and cargo without extra
confusion
### 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
Sessions' `updated_at` times are truncated to seconds, with the UUID
session ID used to break ties. If the two test sessions are created in
the same second, AND the session B UUID < session A UUID, the test
fails.
Fix this by mutating the session mtimes, from which we derive the
updated_at time, to ensure session B is updated_at later than session A.
Summary:
- Add forked_from to SessionMeta/SessionConfiguredEvent and persist it
for forked sessions.
- Surface forked_from in /status for tui + tui2 and add snapshots.
PR #9245 made `codex resume --last` honor cwd, but I forgot to make the
same change for `codex exec resume --last`. This PR fixes the
inconsistency.
This addresses #8700
To support Bazelification in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8875,
this PR introduces a new `find_resource!` macro that we use in place of
our existing logic in tests that looks for resources relative to the
compile-time `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` env var.
To make this work, we plan to add the following to all `rust_library()`
and `rust_test()` Bazel rules in the project:
```
rustc_env = {
"BAZEL_PACKAGE": native.package_name(),
},
```
Our new `find_resource!` macro reads this value via
`option_env!("BAZEL_PACKAGE")` so that the Bazel package _of the code
using `find_resource!`_ is injected into the code expanded from the
macro. (If `find_resource()` were a function, then
`option_env!("BAZEL_PACKAGE")` would always be
`codex-rs/utils/cargo-bin`, which is not what we want.)
Note we only consider the `BAZEL_PACKAGE` value when the `RUNFILES_DIR`
environment variable is set at runtime, indicating that the test is
being run by Bazel. In this case, we have to concatenate the runtime
`RUNFILES_DIR` with the compile-time `BAZEL_PACKAGE` value to build the
path to the resource.
In testing this change, I discovered one funky edge case in
`codex-rs/exec-server/tests/common/lib.rs` where we have to _normalize_
(but not canonicalize!) the result from `find_resource!` because the
path contains a `common/..` component that does not exist on disk when
the test is run under Bazel, so it must be semantically normalized using
the [`path-absolutize`](https://crates.io/crates/path-absolutize) crate
before it is passed to `dotslash fetch`.
Because this new behavior may be non-obvious, this PR also updates
`AGENTS.md` to make humans/Codex aware that this API is preferred.
**Motivation**
- Bring `codex exec resume` to parity with top‑level flags so global
options (git check bypass, json, model, sandbox toggles) work after the
subcommand, including when outside a git repo.
**Description**
- Exec CLI: mark `--skip-git-repo-check`, `--json`, `--model`,
`--full-auto`, and `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` as
global so they’re accepted after `resume`.
- Tests: add `exec_resume_accepts_global_flags_after_subcommand` to
verify those flags work when passed after `resume`.
**Testing**
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-exec` (pass; ran with elevated perms to allow
network/port binds)
- Manual: exercised `codex exec resume` with global flags after the
subcommand to confirm behavior.
### What
Builds on #8293.
Add `additional_details`, which contains the upstream error message, to
relevant structures used to pass along retryable `StreamError`s.
Uses the new TUI status indicator's `details` field (shows under the
status header) to display the `additional_details` error to the user on
retryable `Reconnecting...` errors. This adds clarity for users for
retryable errors.
Will make corresponding change to VSCode extension to show
`additional_details` as expandable from the `Reconnecting...` cell.

This PR introduces a `codex-utils-cargo-bin` utility crate that
wraps/replaces our use of `assert_cmd::Command` and
`escargot::CargoBuild`.
As you can infer from the introduction of `buck_project_root()` in this
PR, I am attempting to make it possible to build Codex under
[Buck2](https://buck2.build) as well as `cargo`. With Buck2, I hope to
achieve faster incremental local builds (largely due to Buck2's
[dice](https://buck2.build/docs/insights_and_knowledge/modern_dice/)
build strategy, as well as benefits from its local build daemon) as well
as faster CI builds if we invest in remote execution and caching.
See
https://buck2.build/docs/getting_started/what_is_buck2/#why-use-buck2-key-advantages
for more details about the performance advantages of Buck2.
Buck2 enforces stronger requirements in terms of build and test
isolation. It discourages assumptions about absolute paths (which is key
to enabling remote execution). Because the `CARGO_BIN_EXE_*` environment
variables that Cargo provides are absolute paths (which
`assert_cmd::Command` reads), this is a problem for Buck2, which is why
we need this `codex-utils-cargo-bin` utility.
My WIP-Buck2 setup sets the `CARGO_BIN_EXE_*` environment variables
passed to a `rust_test()` build rule as relative paths.
`codex-utils-cargo-bin` will resolve these values to absolute paths,
when necessary.

This attempts to tighten up the types related to "config layers."
Currently, `ConfigLayerEntry` is defined as follows:
bef36f4ae7/codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/state.rs (L19-L25)
but the `source` field is a bit of a lie, as:
- for `ConfigLayerName::Mdm`, it is
`"com.openai.codex/config_toml_base64"`
- for `ConfigLayerName::SessionFlags`, it is `"--config"`
- for `ConfigLayerName::User`, it is `"config.toml"` (just the file
name, not the path to the `config.toml` on disk that was read)
- for `ConfigLayerName::System`, it seems like it is usually
`/etc/codex/managed_config.toml` in practice, though on Windows, it is
`%CODEX_HOME%/managed_config.toml`:
bef36f4ae7/codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/layer_io.rs (L84-L101)
All that is to say, in three out of the four `ConfigLayerName`, `source`
is a `PathBuf` that is not an absolute path (or even a true path).
This PR tries to uplevel things by eliminating `source` from
`ConfigLayerEntry` and turning `ConfigLayerName` into a disjoint union
named `ConfigLayerSource` that has the appropriate metadata for each
variant, favoring the use of `AbsolutePathBuf` where appropriate:
```rust
pub enum ConfigLayerSource {
/// Managed preferences layer delivered by MDM (macOS only).
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
#[ts(rename_all = "camelCase")]
Mdm { domain: String, key: String },
/// Managed config layer from a file (usually `managed_config.toml`).
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
#[ts(rename_all = "camelCase")]
System { file: AbsolutePathBuf },
/// Session-layer overrides supplied via `-c`/`--config`.
SessionFlags,
/// User config layer from a file (usually `config.toml`).
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
#[ts(rename_all = "camelCase")]
User { file: AbsolutePathBuf },
}
```
refactor the way we load and manage skills:
1. Move skill discovery/caching into SkillsManager and reuse it across
sessions.
2. Add the skills/list API (Op::ListSkills/SkillsListResponse) to fetch
skills for one or more cwds. Also update app-server for VSCE/App;
3. Trigger skills/list during session startup so UIs preload skills and
handle errors immediately.
Changes the `writable_roots` field of the `WorkspaceWrite` variant of
the `SandboxPolicy` enum from `Vec<PathBuf>` to `Vec<AbsolutePathBuf>`.
This is helpful because now callers can be sure the value is an absolute
path rather than a relative one. (Though when using an absolute path in
a Seatbelt config policy, we still have to _canonicalize_ it first.)
Because `writable_roots` can be read from a config file, it is important
that we are able to resolve relative paths properly using the parent
folder of the config file as the base path.
1. Skills load once in core at session start; the cached outcome is
reused across core and surfaced to TUI via SessionConfigured.
2. TUI detects explicit skill selections, and core injects the matching
SKILL.md content into the turn when a selected skill is present.
### Description
- codex exec --json resume --last "<prompt>" bailed out because clap
treated the prompt as SESSION_ID. I removed the conflicts_with flag and
reinterpret that positional as a prompt when
--last is set, so the flow now keeps working in JSON mode.
(codex-rs/exec/src/cli.rs:84-104, codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs:75-130)
- Added a regression test that exercises resume --last in JSON mode to
ensure the prompt is accepted and the rollout file is updated.
(codex-rs/exec/tests/suite/resume.rs:126-178)
### Testing
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-exec
- just fix -p codex-exec
- cargo test -p codex-exec
#6717
Signed-off-by: Dmitri Khokhlov <dkhokhlov@cribl.io>
This PR adds the API V2 version of the apply_patch approval flow, which
centers around `ThreadItem::FileChange`.
This PR wires the new RPC (`item/fileChange/requestApproval`, V2 only)
and related events (`item/started`, `item/completed` for
`ThreadItem::FileChange`, which are emitted in both V1 and V2) through
the app-server
protocol. The new approval RPC is only sent when the user initiates a
turn with the new `turn/start` API so we don't break backwards
compatibility with VSCE.
Similar to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, the approach I
took was to make as few changes to the Codex core as possible,
leveraging existing `EventMsg` core events, and translating those in
app-server. I did have to add a few additional fields to
`EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` and `EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd`, but those
were fairly lightweight.
However, the `EventMsg`s emitted by core are the following:
```
1) Auto-approved (no request for approval)
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
2) Approved by user
- EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
3) Declined by user
- EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest
- EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin
- EventMsg::PatchApplyEnd
```
For a request triggering an approval, this would result in:
```
item/fileChange/requestApproval
item/started
item/completed
```
which is different from the `ThreadItem::CommandExecution` flow
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6758, which does the
below and is preferable:
```
item/started
item/commandExecution/requestApproval
item/completed
```
To fix this, we leverage `TurnSummaryStore` on codex_message_processor
to store a little bit of state, allowing us to fire `item/started` and
`item/fileChange/requestApproval` whenever we receive the underlying
`EventMsg::ApplyPatchApprovalRequest`, and no-oping when we receive the
`EventMsg::PatchApplyBegin` later.
This is much less invasive than modifying the order of EventMsg within
core (I tried).
The resulting payloads:

# External (non-OpenAI) Pull Request Requirements
Before opening this Pull Request, please read the dedicated
"Contributing" markdown file or your PR may be closed:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/contributing.md
If your PR conforms to our contribution guidelines, replace this text
with a detailed and high quality description of your changes.
Include a link to a bug report or enhancement request.
This adds the following fields to `ThreadStartResponse` and
`ThreadResumeResponse`:
```rust
pub model: String,
pub model_provider: String,
pub cwd: PathBuf,
pub approval_policy: AskForApproval,
pub sandbox: SandboxPolicy,
pub reasoning_effort: Option<ReasoningEffort>,
```
This is important because these fields are optional in
`ThreadStartParams` and `ThreadResumeParams`, so the caller needs to be
able to determine what values were ultimately used to start/resume the
conversation. (Though note that any of these could be changed later
between turns in the conversation.)
Though to get this information reliably, it must be read from the
internal `SessionConfiguredEvent` that is created in response to the
start of a conversation. Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` (as defined in
`codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`) did not have all of these fields, a
number of them had to be added as part of this PR.
Because `SessionConfiguredEvent` is referenced in many tests, test
instances of `SessionConfiguredEvent` had to be updated, as well, which
is why this PR touches so many files.
## Summary
- update documentation, example configs, and automation defaults to
reference gpt-5.1 / gpt-5.1-codex
- bump the CLI and core configuration defaults, model presets, and error
messaging to the new models while keeping the model-family/tool coverage
for legacy slugs
- refresh tests, fixtures, and TUI snapshots so they expect the upgraded
defaults
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
config::tests::test_precedence_fixture_with_gpt5_profile`
