## What?
- Render an MCP image output cell whenever a decodable image block
exists in `CallToolResult.content` (including text-before-image or
malformed image before valid image).
## Why?
- Tool results that include caption text before the image currently drop
the image output cell.
- A malformed image block can also suppress later valid image output.
## How?
- Iterate `content` and return the first successfully decoded image
instead of only checking the first block.
- Add unit tests that cover text-before-image ordering and
invalid-image-before-valid.
## Before
```rust
let image = match result {
Ok(mcp_types::CallToolResult { content, .. }) => {
if let Some(mcp_types::ContentBlock::ImageContent(image)) = content.first() {
// decode image (fails -> None)
} else {
None
}
}
_ => None,
}?;
```
## After
```rust
let image = result
.as_ref()
.ok()?
.content
.iter()
.find_map(decode_mcp_image)?;
```
## Risk / Impact
- Low: only affects image cell creation for MCP tool results; no change
for non-image outputs.
## Tests
- [x] `just fmt`
- [x] `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- [x] Rerun after branch update (2026-01-27): `just fmt`, `cargo test -p
codex-tui`
Manual testing
# Manual testing: MCP image tool result rendering (Codex TUI)
# Build the rmcp stdio test server binary:
cd codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-rmcp-client --bin test_stdio_server
# Register the server as an MCP server (absolute path to the built binary):
codex mcp add mcpimg -- /Users/joshka/code/codex-pr-review/codex-rs/target/debug/test_stdio_server
# Then in Codex TUI, ask it to call:
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_only"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_then_image","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_base64_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_image_bytes_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"multiple_valid_images"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_then_text","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_only","caption":"Here is the image:"})
# Expected:
# - You should see an extra history cell: "tool result (image output)" when the
# tool result contains at least one decodable image block (even if earlier
# blocks are text or invalid images).
Fixes #9814
