# Ghost snapshot ignores
This PR should close#7067, #7395, #7405.
Prior to this change the ghost snapshot task ran `git status
--ignored=matching` so the report picked up literally every ignored
file. When a directory only contained entries matched by patterns such
as `dozens/*.txt`, `/test123/generated/*.html`, or `/wp-includes/*`, Git
still enumerated them and the large-untracked-dir detection treated the
parent directory as “large,” even though everything inside was
intentionally ignored.
By removing `--ignored=matching` we only capture true untracked paths
now, so those patterns stay out of the snapshot report and no longer
trigger the “large untracked directories” warning.

We had this annotation everywhere in app-server APIs which made it so
that fields get serialized as `field?: T`, meaning if the field as
`None` we would omit the field in the payload. Removing this annotation
changes it so that we return `field: T | null` instead, which makes
codex app-server's API more aligned with the convention of public OpenAI
APIs like Responses.
Separately, remove the `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` annotations
that were recently added which made all the TS types become `field?: T |
null` which is not great since clients need to handle undefined and
null.
I think generally it'll be best to have optional types be either:
- `field: T | null` (preferred, aligned with public OpenAI APIs)
- `field?: T` where we have to, such as types generated from the MCP
schema:
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/blob/main/schema/2025-06-18/schema.ts
(see changes to `mcp-types/`)
I updated @etraut-openai's unit test to check that all generated TS
types are one or the other, not both (so will error if we have a type
that has `field?: T | null`). I don't think there's currently a good use
case for that - but we can always revisit.
This PR addresses a current hole in the TypeScript code generation for
the API server protocol. Fields that are marked as "Optional<>" in the
Rust code are serialized such that the value is omitted when it is
deserialized — appearing as `undefined`, but the TS type indicates
(incorrectly) that it is always defined but possibly `null`. This can
lead to subtle errors that the TypeScript compiler doesn't catch. The
fix is to include the `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` macro for all
protocol structs that contain one or more `Optional<>` fields.
This PR also includes a new test that validates that all TS protocol
code containing "| null" in its type is marked optional ("?") to catch
cases where `#[ts(optional_fields = nullable)]` is omitted.
