adds basic git context to the session prefix so the model can anchor git
actions and be a bit more version-aware. structured it in a
multiroot-friendly shape even though we only have one root today
Persist thread_dynamic_tools in sqlite and read first from it. Fall back
to rollout files if it's not found. Persist dynamic tools to both sqlite
and rollout files.
Saw that new sessions get populated to db correctly & old sessions get
backfilled correctly at startup:
```
celia@com-92114 codex-rs % sqlite3 ~/.codex/state.sqlite \ "select thread_id, position,name,description,input_schema from thread_dynamic_tools;"
019c0cad-ec0d-74b2-a787-e8b33a349117|0|geo_lookup|lookup a city|{"properties":{"city":{"type":"string"}},"required":["city"],"type":"object"}

fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/10160 and some more.
## Description
Hardens Git command safety to prevent approval bypasses for destructive
or write-capable invocations (branch delete, risky push forms,
output/config-override flags), so these commands no longer auto-run as
“safe.”
- `git branch -d` variants (especially in worktrees / with global
options like -C / -c)
- `git show|diff|log --output` ... style file-write flags
- risky Git config override flags (-c, --config-env) that can trigger
external execution
- dangerous push forms that weren’t fully caught (`--force*`,
`--delete`, `+refspec`, `:refspec`)
- grouped short-flag delete forms (e.g. stacked branch flags containing
`d/D`)
will fast follow with a common git policy to bring windows to parity.

Adding a `--experimental` flag to the `generate-ts` fct in the
app-sever.
It can be called through one of those 2 command
```
just write-app-server-schema --experimental
codex app-server generate-ts --experimental
```
## Summary
- Make typed slash commands become text elements when the user hits
space, including paste‑burst spaces.
- Enable `/plan` to accept inline args and submit them in plan mode,
mirroring `/review` behavior and blocking submission while a task is
running.
- Preserve text elements/attachments for slash commands that take args.

/>
## Changes
- Add safe helper to insert element ranges in the textarea.
- Extend command‑with‑args pipeline to carry text elements and reuse
submission prep.
- Update `/plan` dispatch to switch to plan mode then submit prompt +
elements.
- Document new composer behavior and add tests.
## Notes
- `/plan` is blocked during active tasks (same as `/review`).
- Slash‑command elementization recognizes built‑ins and `/prompts:`
custom commands only.

## Problem being solved
- We need a single, reliable way to mark app-server API surface as
experimental so that:
1. the runtime can reject experimental usage unless the client opts in
2. generated TS/JSON schemas can exclude experimental methods/fields for
stable clients.
Right now that’s easy to drift or miss when done ad-hoc.
## How to declare experimental methods and fields
- **Experimental method**: add `#[experimental("method/name")]` to the
`ClientRequest` variant in `client_request_definitions!`.
- **Experimental field**: on the params struct, derive `ExperimentalApi`
and annotate the field with `#[experimental("method/name.field")]` + set
`inspect_params: true` for the method variant so
`ClientRequest::experimental_reason()` inspects params for experimental
fields.
## How the macro solves it
- The new derive macro lives in
`codex-rs/codex-experimental-api-macros/src/lib.rs` and is used via
`#[derive(ExperimentalApi)]` plus `#[experimental("reason")]`
attributes.
- **Structs**:
- Generates `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason(&self)` that checks
only annotated fields.
- The “presence” check is type-aware:
- `Option<T>`: `is_some_and(...)` recursively checks inner.
- `Vec`/`HashMap`/`BTreeMap`: must be non-empty.
- `bool`: must be `true`.
- Other types: considered present (returns `true`).
- Registers each experimental field in an `inventory` with `(type_name,
serialized field name, reason)` and exposes `EXPERIMENTAL_FIELDS` for
that type. Field names are converted from `snake_case` to `camelCase`
for schema/TS filtering.
- **Enums**:
- Generates an exhaustive `match` returning `Some(reason)` for annotated
variants and `None` otherwise (no wildcard arm).
- **Wiring**:
- Runtime gating uses `ExperimentalApi::experimental_reason()` in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs` to reject requests unless
`InitializeParams.capabilities.experimental_api == true`.
- Schema/TS export filters use the inventory list and
`EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_METHODS` from `client_request_definitions!` to
strip experimental methods/fields when `experimental_api` is false.
- shows names of threads in the ResumePicker used by `/resume` and
`codex resume` if set, default to preview (previous behaviour) if none
- adds a `find_thread_names_by_ids` that maps names to IDs in
`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/session_index.rs`. It reads sequentially in
normal (instead of reverse order in `codex resume <name>`) the index
mapping file. This function is called from a list of session (default
page is 25, pages loaded depends of height of terminal), for which most
of them will always have at least one session unnamed and require the
whole file to be read therefore. Could be better and sqlite integration
will make this better
- those reads won't be needed when leveraging sqlite
Opened questions:
- We could rename the TUI "Conversation" column to "Name" or "Thread"
that would feel more accurate. Could be a fast-follow if we implement
auto-naming as it'll always be a name instead?
Similar to what @sayan-oai did in openai/codex#8956 for
`config.schema.json`, this PR updates the repo so that it includes the
output of `codex app-server generate-json-schema` and `codex app-server
generate-ts` and adds a test to verify it is in sync with the current
code.
Motivation:
- This makes any schema changes introduced by a PR transparent during
code review.
- In particular, this should help us catch PRs that would introduce a
non-backwards-compatible change to the app schema (eventually, this
should also be enforced by tooling).
- Once https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10231 is in to formalize the
notion of "experimental" fields, we can work on ensuring the
non-experimental bits are backwards-compatible.
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/tests/schema_fixtures.rs` was added as the
test and `just write-app-server-schema` can be use to generate the
vendored schema files.
Incidentally, when I run:
```
rg _ codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/v2
```
I see a number of `snake_case` names that should be `camelCase`.
## Summary
We ideally shouldn't make it to this point in the first place, but if we
do try to append a rule that already exists, we shouldn't append the
same rule twice.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit test for this case
## Summary
We should probably warn users that they have a million rules, and help
clean them up. But for now, we should handle this unbounded case.
Limit rules listed in conversations, with shortest / broadest rules
first.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests
Updated system skills bundled with Codex were not correctly replacing
the user's skills in their .system folder.
- Fix `.codex-system-skills.marker` not updating by hashing embedded
system skills recursively (nested dirs + file contents), so updates
trigger a reinstall.
- Added a build Cargo hook to rerun if there are changes in
`src/skills/assets/samples/*`, ensuring embedded skill updates rebuild
correctly under caching.
- Add a small unit test to ensure nested entries are included in the
fingerprint.
## Summary
- Touch restored rollout files on `thread/unarchive` so `updatedAt`
reflects the unarchive time.
- Add a regression test to ensure unarchiving bumps `updated_at` from an
old mtime.
## Notes
This fixes the UX issue where unarchived old threads don’t reappear near
the top of recent threads.
## Summary
- Replace the “Hard interaction rule” with a clearer “Response
constraints” section that enumerates the allowed exceptions for Plan
Mode replies.
- Remove the stray Phase 1 exception line about simple questions.
- Update plan content requirements to ask for a brief summary section
and generalize API/type wording.
Summary
- expose websocket telemetry hooks through the responses client so
request durations and event processing can be reported
- record websocket request/event metrics and emit runtime telemetry
events that the history UI now surfaces
- improve tests to cover websocket telemetry reporting and guard runtime
summary updates
