## What changed
- Add the `SessionEnd` hook event to hook configuration, protocol schemas, analytics, and the hooks browser.
- Run matching hooks for root threads during shutdown, including app-server archive, delete, idle unload, and graceful shutdown. Flush the transcript first and provide the session ID, transcript path, working directory, and `reason: "other"`.
- Keep teardown bounded: hook output is advisory, the default timeout is one second, configured timeouts are capped at three seconds, and async hooks run synchronously with a warning.
## Testing
- Cover transcript availability, matcher selection, timeout normalization, ignored control output, subagent exclusion, archive/delete ordering, and graceful shutdown of multiple loaded threads.

## Why
Selected capability roots can contribute plugins, MCP servers, connectors, and
skills. Discovering each contribution separately requires repeated access to the
executor filesystem.
## What changed
- Add the `capabilityRoots/discoverV1` exec-server RPC to scan selected roots and
materialize recognized plugin manifests, configuration files, skill
instructions, and skill metadata in one bounded request.
- Add the opt-in `executor_capability_discovery` feature, with a thread-scoped
cache and per-step snapshot shared by MCP and skill discovery.
- Parse MCP, connector, and skill contributions from the materialized snapshot,
including serving cached skill instructions without another filesystem read.
## Testing
- Cover discovery limits, manifest precedence, root-local failures, cache reuse,
plugin contributions, and parity with the existing environment skill loader.
GitOrigin-RevId: f98fd2321cafb58c596db02da1f83c09d8eb375d
## What changed
- Apply `agents.default_subagent_model` and
`agents.default_subagent_reasoning_effort` when a spawn request does not
provide explicit values, including agent job workers.
- Allow full-history forks to use configured defaults or explicit model and
reasoning-effort overrides while retaining the parent conversation context.
- Preserve the selected model and reasoning effort when an agent role does not
override them.
## Testing
- Cover configured defaults, explicit override precedence, full-history forks,
role application, and agent job workers.
GitOrigin-RevId: b1efa8c9abeee82355088fceef57560433144595
## Why
The `agent_type` argument is only useful when agent roles are configured. Avoid
advertising an inapplicable override in the model-visible `spawn_agent` schema.
## What changed
- Include `agent_type` in the V1 and V2 spawn tools only when configured roles
are available.
- Clarify that `agent_type` is an explicit override and document its interaction
with context forking.
- Remove the unused `agents.support_agent_type` configuration field.
## Testing
- Add coverage for hiding `agent_type` without roles and exposing it when a role
is configured.
GitOrigin-RevId: 32e0f123b15f317e9cdb71774029375bc073d9ad
## What changed
- Add `agents.enabled` as a user override for multi-agent tools while keeping an enabled `features.multi_agent_v2` authoritative.
- Rename the shared spawned-thread limit to `agents.max_concurrent_threads_per_session`, retain `agents.max_threads` as an alias, and apply the setting to both multi-agent backends.
- Add reserved subagent model, reasoning effort, and agent-type settings to the config surface and persist all resolved agent settings in config locks.
- Show the resolved `[agents]` values in TUI debug-config output.
## Testing
- Cover config loading, legacy alias normalization across merged layers, backend-selection precedence, V2 concurrency, and debug output.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2957c954a2e1aef51592768dbbccd56c4bf8f118
## What changed
- Add realtime conversation version `v3`, which preserves the V1 Codex Voice behavior while using Frameless Bidi `delegation.*` events.
- Translate audio, transcripts, handoffs, session context, and lifecycle events between the app server and the Frameless Bidi wire protocol.
- Support `v3` over WebSocket and WebRTC, including the Frameless `/live` endpoint, session configuration, headers, and default model selection.
- Update the app-server protocol schemas and documentation for the new version.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for Frameless event parsing, outbound messages, context chunking, URL construction, and call creation.
- Add app-server end-to-end coverage for WebSocket delegation and WebRTC session startup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 79a3307bc209e1a54582ebd2febc07c909fca016
## What changed
- Add `auto_compact_fallback_prompt` and
`auto_compact_fallback_buffer_tokens` to `features.token_budget` and the
generated configuration schema.
- Trim empty fallback prompts, limit prompts to 2,000 bytes, require a buffer
when a prompt is configured, and reject non-positive buffer values.
- Preserve the new settings when locking resolved session configuration.
## Testing
- Cover config resolution and validation for overlong prompts, missing
buffers, and non-positive buffers.
- Extend the configuration-lock test to cover both settings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6463f963ba1dbd633d76601b8344360a8c85cf8b
## What changed
- Add an opt-in `skill_search` feature that ranks prompt-visible skills against each turn's user input with a bounded weighted lexical selector.
- Keep the ranked selection out of model-visible context and record metrics for selection cost, catalog reduction, and whether later implicit or `skills.read` invocations matched the ranked candidates.
- Include host-provided skills in the experiment catalog without changing the rendered skill catalog.
## Testing
- Add selector unit tests covering ranking, limits, truncation, stop words, and deterministic tie-breaking.
- Add extension tests covering turn-local invocation recording and host-skill shadow selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4d00a1c805ea8b391d6c6ac6a8450afa88ca3e25
## What changed
- Add the `features.multi_agent_v2.expose_spawn_agent_model_overrides` setting, enabled by default, to expose `model` and `reasoning_effort` on the v2 `spawn_agent` tool.
- Keep these controls available when other spawn metadata is hidden, while allowing them to be disabled independently.
- Add root-agent and subagent guidance that overrides require a partial or context-free fork and should only be used when explicitly authorized.
## Testing
- Cover configuration parsing and defaults, usage-hint preservation, and tool-schema behavior with override exposure enabled and disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 92370498108c96fbd51f32965624ce531e991d9a
## What changed
- Build a reasoning payload for every Responses request and always include `reasoning.encrypted_content`.
- Remove `supports_reasoning_summaries` from model metadata and retire the `model_supports_reasoning_summaries` configuration override.
- Use configured or model-default reasoning effort without a capability gate, including for guardian reviews and tracing.

6. [openai/codex#30296](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30296) —
diagnostic-only Auto store drift reporting
**This PR is layer 2.**
## Why
`Auto` is keyring-first with a File fallback, but re-evaluating that
policy during transport reconstruction or persistence can make one MCP
client read from one store and later write to another. With rotating
refresh tokens, the second store may contain an older token. This layer
makes the source selected at client startup explicit and keeps that
authority stable for the client lifecycle.
## What this PR does
- Keeps `resolve_oauth_tokens_from_store_policy` as the single
configured-policy entry point and returns both credentials and the
concrete File or Keyring source that supplied them.
- Puts exact `load`, `save`, and `delete` operations on
`ResolvedOAuthCredentialStore`, making “resolve configured policy” and
“use the selected authority” distinct at call sites.
- Pins the first concrete source in `pinned_credential_store` in the
transport recipe, so initialization retries and session reconstruction
cannot re-evaluate `Auto` and adopt another store.
- Gives `OAuthPersistor` the resolved store and keeps subsequent
persistence and removal on that authority.
- Uses a typed keyring-load error to distinguish aggregate-store
coordination failures from ordinary backend failures; a coordination
failure is surfaced instead of triggering File fallback.
- Keeps login-time `Auto` behavior unchanged: prefer Keyring, fall back
to File when unavailable, and clean up legacy File state after a
successful keyring save.
- Adds structured server/backend context when fallback cleanup fails.
## Explicit decisions and non-goals
- The selection is lifecycle-local and in memory. This PR does not add a
durable backend selector, migration, reconciliation registry, or global
source of truth outside `CODEX_HOME`.
- `Auto` may choose File at the start of a later process if keyring
availability changes. Once this client resolves, a selected-store
failure is returned instead of hot-switching.
- Different `CODEX_HOME` instances remain independent even when they can
access the same Direct keyring credential.
- Cross-process refresh serialization is intentionally not part of this
layer.
## Safe stopping point
This PR can merge alone. A single MCP client no longer hot-switches
credential stores across transport rebuilds or persistence. Two
processes can still refresh the same selected credential concurrently
until layer 3.
## Review size
The net layer is 9 files, +668/−144. The production change remains
focused on store resolution and lifecycle pinning; the largest follow-up
is integration coverage that drives real session recovery.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client` (99 passed; 5 expected skips)
- Real-client 404 recovery coverage with different Keyring and File
tokens; captured bearer headers prove the stale File token is never sent
- Mutation check: removing the lifecycle pin makes that integration
regression fail by observing the stale File token
## Summary
- Adds `writes` to `AppToolApproval` and exposes it through config and
app-server schemas, including
`[apps._default].default_tools_approval_mode`.
- In `writes`, tools with `readOnlyHint = true` skip approval; all other
tools prompt, including non-destructive writes and tools without
annotations.
- Prevents session or persistent approval choices in this mode so later
writes still prompt.
## Why
`auto` only prompts for risk-hinted actions, while `prompt` also
interrupts reads. Apps need a middle mode that gates writes without
prompting for declared read-only actions.
## Validation

## Summary
When enabled for the OpenAI provider, Codex sends
`stream_options.reasoning_summary_delivery = "sequential_cutoff"` on
HTTP and
WebSocket requests, including prewarm, and renders completed summary
sections
from `reasoning_summary_text.done`. Flag-off and non-OpenAI behavior is
unchanged.
## Expected rollout
```text
reasoning 0 added

summary 1 done
summary 2 starts
summary 2 cancelled / incomplete
reasoning 0 done <-- cancel summary 2 work and mark it incomplete

Depends on
[openai/openai#1096660](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1096660).
## Why
Multi-agent V2 normally derives its mode instructions from reasoning
effort: Ultra enables proactive delegation, while other efforts require
an explicit request. Some deployments need to provide one configured
delegation policy that replaces those built-ins and remains stable when
reasoning effort changes.
## What changed
- Add `features.multi_agent_v2.multi_agent_mode_hint_text` alongside the
existing root and subagent hint settings.
- Treat any configured value, including an empty string, as
`MultiAgentMode::Custom(hint_text)`, so the configured text replaces the
built-in explicit-only and proactive policies.
- Persist the full custom variant and hint text in the turn-context
snapshot, so the durable comparison baseline detects both
reasoning-effort changes and configured policy-text changes.
- Preserve the existing explicit-only/proactive behavior when the
setting is absent.
- Replace the ambiguous `MultiAgentMode::None` variant with
`MultiAgentMode::Custom(String)` in new rollouts and API schemas. A
compatibility wire type maps legacy serialized `none` values to
`Custom("")` when resuming existing rollouts.
- Regenerate the config and app-server schemas.
## Configuration examples
The distinction is whether `multi_agent_mode_hint_text` is present. An
empty string is still a configured value and intentionally suppresses
the built-in mode instructions.
### Unset: preserve existing effort-derived behavior
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
# multi_agent_mode_hint_text is omitted
```
- Ultra reasoning uses the built-in proactive delegation instructions.
- Other reasoning efforts use the built-in explicit-request-only
instructions.
### Empty: suppress all mode hint text
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
multi_agent_mode_hint_text = ""
```
This selects effective mode `custom` at every reasoning effort and
injects an empty mode body, suppressing both built-in policies.
### Set: always use the configured text
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
multi_agent_mode_hint_text = "Delegate to subagents when it will materially improve the result."
```
This selects effective mode `custom` at every reasoning effort and
injects the configured text verbatim instead of either built-in policy.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Covers a configured hint across High and Ultra reasoning efforts and
verifies the full custom hint is recorded for both turns.
- Covers an empty-string override suppressing both built-in instruction
bodies.
- `just test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- Covers legacy `none` turn-context deserialization as `Custom("")` and
verifies the regenerated schemas.
## Summary
- add the `code_mode_host` feature flag and select
`ProcessOwnedCodeModeSessionProvider` in `CodeModeService` when enabled
- initialize code-mode sessions lazily so a missing host reports a tool
error without failing thread startup
- resolve `codex-code-mode-host` beside the running Codex binary by
default while preserving `CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH` as an override
- add unit and end-to-end coverage for host resolution and graceful
missing-host behavior
## Why
This wires the process-owned session client from #30112 into the core
service behind an opt-in rollout gate. Packaged Codex installations can
place the helper in the same `bin` directory as the main executable
without relying on `PATH`, while development and custom installations
can continue to override the helper path.
## Stack
- Depends on #30112
- Base branch: `cconger/process-owned-session-runtime-4-client`
## Validation
Build `codex` and `codex-code-mode-host`
`CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH="$PWD/target/debug/codex-code-mode-host"
./target/debug/codex --enable code_mode_host`
A zero interval lets callers request a reminder at every
otherwise-eligible inference boundary.
## Validation
- just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_current_time_reminder
## Why
Token-budget reminder and guidance messages can require more than 1,000
bytes to provide useful model-facing instructions. At the same time,
these strings are injected into model-visible context, so their size
must remain tightly bounded in response to the P0 context-growth
concern. A 2,000-byte runtime cap provides additional room without
allowing the substantially larger context growth of a 4 KiB limit.
## What changed
- raises the runtime byte limits for token-budget reminder templates and
guidance messages from 1,000 to 2,000
- raises the corresponding JSON Schema `maxLength` values to 2,000
- regenerates `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json`
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_token_budget_config
load_config_rejects_invalid_token_budget_reminder_template`
The full `codex-core` test run completed 2,858 tests successfully and
encountered seven unrelated environment-sensitive failures involving
Seatbelt/network environment assertions, MCP capability setup, and abort
timing.
## Why
MCP authentication has distinct OAuth and ChatGPT-session flows.
Representing that choice as `use_chatgpt_auth` makes one flow implicit
and allows the configuration model to express the distinction only
through a boolean.
ChatGPT credential forwarding also needs a first-party trust boundary. A
configurable `chatgpt_base_url` controls routing, but must not grant an
MCP server permission to receive session credentials.
This change builds on #29733, where the boolean was introduced.
## What changed
- Replace `use_chatgpt_auth` with an `auth` field backed by the
exhaustive `McpServerAuth` enum.
- Support `auth = "oauth"` and `auth = "chatgpt"`, with OAuth remaining
the default.
- Trust only the origin derived from the existing hardcoded
`CHATGPT_CODEX_BASE_URL` when granting ChatGPT auth to an MCP server.
- Keep configured bearer tokens and authorization headers ahead of the
selected authentication flow.
- Update config writers, schema output, fixtures, and integration-test
setup to use the enum.
## Verification
Integration coverage exercises the complete streamable HTTP startup path
in two independent configurations:
- A directly constructed MCP configuration verifies that matching an
overridden `chatgpt_base_url` does not grant ChatGPT auth.
- A persisted `config.toml` containing an attacker-controlled
`chatgpt_base_url` and `auth = "chatgpt"` verifies the same boundary
through normal config parsing.
Both tests complete MCP initialization and tool listing and assert that
the full captured request sequence contains no authorization headers.
Separate integration coverage verifies that configured authorization
takes precedence over ChatGPT auth.
## Why
ChatGPT session authentication was inferred from the reserved Codex Apps
server name. That couples credential routing to Codex Apps-specific
behavior and prevents other MCP endpoints hosted by ChatGPT from
explicitly using the current session.
The opt-in also needs a clear security boundary: an arbitrary MCP
configuration must not be able to redirect ChatGPT credentials to
another origin.
## What changed
- Add `use_chatgpt_auth` to HTTP MCP server configuration, defaulting to
`false`.
- Honor the setting only when the parsed server URL has the same HTTP(S)
origin as the configured `chatgpt_base_url`; otherwise remove the
capability before startup.
- Resolve bearer tokens and static or environment-backed authorization
headers before selecting authentication, with configured authorization
taking precedence over ChatGPT session auth.
- Enable the setting for the built-in Codex Apps and hosted plugin
runtime endpoints while keeping Codex Apps caching and tool
normalization scoped to the reserved server.
- Persist the setting through MCP config rewrite paths and expose it in
the generated config schema.
- Load the current login state for `codex mcp list` so reported auth
status matches runtime behavior.
## Verification
Core integration coverage exercises the complete streamable HTTP MCP
startup path and verifies that:
- a same-origin opted-in server receives the current ChatGPT access
token;
- an explicitly configured authorization header takes precedence;
- a different-origin server completes MCP initialization and tool
listing without receiving any ChatGPT authorization header.
## Why
This PR adds a configurable `<context_window_guidance>` developer
section immediately after `<context_window>`. Harness integrations need
this section to give the model deployment-specific instructions for
preparing for context-window transitions.
## What changed
- Add an optional `features.token_budget.guidance_message` config with a
1,000-byte runtime cap and generated schema support.
- Render configured guidance as a developer `ContextualUserFragment`
wrapped in `<context_window_guidance>` immediately after
`<context_window>`.
- Omit the section when guidance is unset, empty, or whitespace-only.
- Preserve the resolved value in config locks and classify persisted
guidance as contextual developer content.
- Add integration coverage for rendered content and ordering.
## Summary
- move sleep tool enablement from top-level `[features].sleep_tool` to
`[features.current_time_reminder].sleep_tool`
- remove the standalone `Feature::SleepTool` flag and gate `clock.sleep`
from resolved current-time configuration
- update config schema, config-lock materialization, and existing sleep
coverage
Stacked on #29907.
## Summary
- rename `reminder_interval_model_requests` to
`reminder_interval_seconds`
- read the configured time provider before every model request and
inject a reminder only after the configured number of seconds has
elapsed
- preserve immediate first delivery and forced delivery after compaction
changes the context window
## Tests
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_reminder`
## Why
Remote stdio MCP servers can run in an environment whose path convention
differs from the Codex host. A Windows cwd such as
`C:\Users\openai\share` is absolute for the executor but was rejected by
a POSIX orchestrator.
Built on #29501, now merged, which only clarifies the host-native
`PathUri` constructor name.
## What changed
- Deserialize MCP cwd values as `LegacyAppPathString` so config does not
apply host path rules.
- Interpret that spelling as host-native for local launches and convert
it to `PathUri` at executor launch.
- Skip host filesystem and command resolution checks for remote stdio in
`codex doctor`.
- Add host-independent config and executor-boundary coverage using the
foreign path convention for each test platform.
## Validation

- `just test -p codex-cli -p codex-rmcp-client` (372 passed)

- `just fix -p codex-cli -p codex-config -p codex-core -p codex-mcp -p
codex-mcp-extension -p codex-rmcp-client -p codex-tui`
## Why
Multi-agent delegation policy was split across `multiAgentMode`,
`features.multi_agent_mode`, and `usage_hint_enabled`. These controls
could disagree: a requested mode could be downgraded by the feature
flag, and disabling usage hints also disabled mode instructions.
Some clients also need multi-agent tools without adding
delegation-policy text to model context. The previous two-mode API could
not express that directly.
## What changed
`multiAgentMode` is now the only live delegation-policy control:
| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `none` | Keep multi-agent tools available without adding mode
instructions. |
| `explicitRequestOnly` | Only delegate after an explicit user request.
|
| `proactive` | Delegate when parallel work materially improves speed or
quality. |
- new threads default to `explicitRequestOnly`; omitting the mode on
later turns keeps the current value
- thread start, resume, fork, and settings responses always report the
concrete current mode instead of `null`
- mode selection remains sticky across turns and resume
- usage-hint text no longer controls whether mode instructions apply
- `features.multi_agent_mode` and `usage_hint_enabled` remain accepted
as ignored compatibility settings so existing configs continue to load
- app-server documentation and generated schemas describe the three-mode
API
## Tests
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_v2_config_from_feature_table`
- `just test -p codex-core spawn_agent_description`
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`
## Summary
- add a default-on `auto_compaction` feature flag as an internal escape
hatch
- skip pre-turn, model-switch/hash, and mid-turn automatic compaction
when the flag is disabled
- preserve manual `/compact` behavior and surface the existing
context-window error when the provider runs out of room
- add integration coverage for disabled pre-turn and mid-turn compaction
## Motivation
Long-running SPO optimization rollouts need the option to preserve their
full context and fail on context exhaustion instead of entering another
compaction window. This deliberately uses the existing feature-flag
mechanism rather than adding a dedicated public config or app-server
API.
Disable it with:
```sh
codex --disable auto_compaction
```
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-features` — 51 passed
- `just test -p codex-core auto_compaction_feature_disabled` — 2 passed
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-features`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core` — the new compaction tests passed; the
overall local run had 54 unrelated environment failures, primarily
missing first-party test binaries and shell-snapshot timeouts
## Why
The token-budget feature reports coarse remaining-context milestones,
but it does not give the model a configurable wrap-up prompt before
automatic compaction. A strict threshold-crossing check can also miss
resumed or reconfigured windows that are already inside the threshold.
## What changed
- Add structured `[features.token_budget]` configuration for an absolute
`reminder_threshold_tokens` and bounded `reminder_message_template`;
`{n_remaining}` is expanded when the reminder is delivered.
- Compute remaining tokens against the next effective auto-compaction
boundary, including scoped `body_after_prefix` accounting and the full
context-window limit.
- Make reminder delivery level-triggered before and after sampling, with
one-shot state owned by `AutoCompactWindow` and re-armed on compaction,
`new_context`, restore, or history replacement.
- Leave the existing initial full-window token-budget context, 25/50/75%
notices, and token-budget tools unchanged.
- Persist the resolved feature configuration in the session config lock
and regenerate the config schema.
## Validation

- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
## Why
Orchestrator-provided skills and Codex Apps MCP tools add model-visible
instructions, resources, and tools beyond the local workspace. Hosts
need config-level switches to disable those orchestrator-owned surfaces
independently, without disabling regular skills or regular MCP servers.
## What changed
- Adds `[orchestrator.skills].enabled` and `[orchestrator.mcp].enabled`
config entries, both defaulting to `true`.
- Includes the new settings in `config.schema.json` and in the config
lock so resolved thread configuration preserves the same orchestrator
exposure decisions.
- Threads `orchestrator.skills.enabled` through the app-server skills
extension so disabled orchestrator skills do not expose the `skills`
namespace or inject orchestrator skill context.
- Gates Codex Apps MCP exposure, app instructions, and app auth
eligibility on `orchestrator.mcp.enabled` while leaving non-Codex-Apps
MCP tools available.
- Updates the thread-manager sample config to disable both
orchestrator-owned surfaces.
## Verification
- Added config parsing, loading, defaulting, and schema coverage for the
new settings.
- Added MCP exposure coverage that `orchestrator.mcp.enabled = false`
removes Codex Apps tools while preserving regular MCP tools.
- Added app-server coverage that `orchestrator.skills.enabled = false`
prevents orchestrator skill tools, prompts, and resource reads from
reaching the model turn.
## Summary
- Add `web_search = "indexed"` alongside `disabled`, `cached`, and
`live`.
- Use that same resolved mode for both hosted and standalone web search.
- For hosted search, send `index_gated_web_access: true` with external
web access enabled only when `indexed` is selected.
- For standalone search, preserve the existing boolean wire values for
existing modes (`cached` maps to `false` and `live` to `true`) and send
`"indexed"` only for `indexed`; `disabled` keeps the tool unavailable.
- Carry the mode through managed configuration requirements and
generated schemas.
## Why
Indexed search provides a middle ground between cached-only search and
unrestricted live page fetching. Search queries can remain live while
direct page fetches are limited to URLs admitted by the server.
The existing `web_search` setting remains the single source of truth, so
hosted and standalone executors cannot drift into different access
modes. Without an explicit `indexed` selection, the existing
model-visible tool and request shapes are unchanged.
```toml
web_search = "indexed"
[features]
standalone_web_search = true
```

## Why
Multi-agent v2 currently carries an explicit-request-only delegation
rule in its static usage hint. That provides a safe default, but it
prevents clients from selecting proactive delegation per turn without
changing static guidance or rewriting prior model context.
This change makes delegation mode a session selection that can be
updated through `turn/start`, while deriving the effective model-visible
mode separately for each turn. Eligible multi-agent v2 turns remain
explicit-request-only unless proactive mode is both selected and
enabled.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `turn/start.multiAgentMode` parameter with
`explicitRequestOnly` and `proactive` values. Omission retains the
loaded session's current optional selection.
- Add the default-off `features.multi_agent_mode` feature gate. Eligible
multi-agent v2 turns use the selected mode when enabled; an unset
selection or disabled gate resolves to `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Treat mode prompting as inapplicable for multi-agent v1 and other
unsupported session configurations, producing no multi-agent mode
developer message rather than rejecting the turn.
- Move the explicit-request-only rule out of the static v2 usage hint
and into a bounded, tagged developer context fragment.
- Emit the effective mode in initial context and only when that
effective mode changes on later turns.
- Persist the effective mode in `TurnContextItem` as the durable
baseline for resume and context-update comparisons.
Historical rollout items are not rewritten. Later mode developer
messages establish the current rule incrementally.
## Not covered
- Initial selection through `thread/start` and selected-mode reporting
from thread lifecycle/settings APIs; those are isolated in the stacked
#28792.
- A TUI control or slash command for selecting the mode.
- Persisting a preferred mode to `config.toml`; selection remains
session/turn scoped.
- Changes to multi-agent concurrency limits, tool availability, or model
catalog capability declarations.
- Rewriting historical rollout prompt items. Cold resume restores the
latest persisted effective mode when available while leaving historical
developer messages intact.
## Verification
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Focused app-server coverage verifies that `turn/start.multiAgentMode`
produces proactive developer instructions for an eligible v2 turn.
## Stack
Followed by #28792, which adds `thread/start` initialization and
lifecycle/settings observability.
## Why
Remote environments may still be resolving when Codex creates a session
or turn. Waiting for the existing all-or-nothing environment snapshot
can hold startup until the selected environment is usable.
Behind the default-off `deferred_executor` feature, let callers take a
useful snapshot immediately: completed environments remain available
normally, while unfinished environments are reported without blocking
startup. With the feature disabled, snapshots preserve the existing
blocking behavior.
Depends on #28674.
## What changed
- Store one ordered list of selected environments in
`ThreadEnvironments`. Each selection owns one shared resolution that
produces its complete `TurnEnvironment`.
- Start new resolutions in the background with `remote_handle()`,
allowing snapshots and the future wait tool to share the same result
while cancellation follows the retained handles.
- Make `snapshot()` a read-only operation: nonblocking snapshots collect
completed resolutions and retain handles for unfinished ones, while
blocking snapshots await every resolution.
- Replace completed failed resolutions from the current manager entry
and log when failed environments are omitted.
- Return attached and starting environments as a point-in-time view, and
count starting environments when deciding whether a snapshot is
local-only.
- Keep existing consumers attached-only. `to_selections()` derives from
attached environments, so child threads do not inherit an environment
that is still starting.
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-core environment_selection`
- `just test -p codex-core
deferred_executor_reaches_model_before_remote_environment_is_ready`
## Landing note
Keep `deferred_executor` disabled for slow-starting executors until
configurable `environment/add` connection timeouts and caller support
land. When enabled, an environment that attaches after session startup
may remain absent from environment-derived model context, tools,
instructions, skills, and related state until follow-up refresh work
lands.
## Why
Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their
identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be
assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by
the server must remain unchanged.
The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes.
Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a
hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from
server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and
provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the
under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request
controls whose API shape does not accept an ID.
## What changed
- Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in
`config.schema.json`.
- Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose
them in the generated app-server schemas.
- When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history
preparation if an item has no ID.
- Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API
item conventions.
- Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them.
- Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent
Responses requests.
- Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document
why it has no ID.
- Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of
server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled.
`prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID
allocation boundary.

## Summary
- Remove the realtime `architecture` selector from core protocol,
app-server protocol, config parsing, generated schemas, and callers.
- Always create WebRTC realtime calls with the AVAS query params:
`intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`.
- Keep direct websocket realtime behavior on the existing config/default
path, while WebRTC starts without an explicit version now default to
realtime v1 because AVAS requires v1.
## Notes
- WebRTC realtime now means AVAS. If a caller explicitly asks to start
WebRTC with realtime v2, Codex rejects that request because the AVAS
WebRTC path only supports realtime v1. Websocket realtime is separate
and can still use realtime v2.
- The old `[realtime] architecture = "realtimeapi" | "avas"` config knob
is removed. Local configs that still set it will need to delete that
line.
- Some app-server tests that were only trying to exercise realtime v2
protocol behavior now use websocket transport, because WebRTC is
intentionally locked to AVAS/v1. Separate WebRTC tests cover the AVAS
query params, v1 startup, SDP flow, and sideband join.

## Why
`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.
## What changed
- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`
Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.

## Stack
This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack:
- [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity
assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared
run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth.
- [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049)
Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted
Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task.
- [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped
provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party
inference and compaction requests.
[#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of
the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a
separate background/control-plane task helper.
## Summary
This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex
sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex
backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate
path and does not require the feature flag.
What changed:
- adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config
schema entry
- adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose
`JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean
- stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from
backend-registered Agent Identity records
- persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single
run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity
- derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth
config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate
- provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when
`use_agent_identity` is enabled
- reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than
adding a second task-registration path
This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to
`AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next
PR.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-login`
## What
This PR defines the structured configuration contract for shared rollout
token budgets (across ALL agent threads under 1 rollout).
```toml
[features.rollout_budget]
enabled = true
limit_tokens = 100000
reminder_interval_tokens = 10000
sampling_token_weight = 1.0
prefill_token_weight = 0.1
```
The reminder interval defaults to 10% of the rollout limit. Sampling and
prefill weights default to `1.0`.
## Scope
This PR only defines and validates configuration. It does not track
usage, inject reminders, or stop a rollout. Accounting and reminders are
implemented in the stacked follow-up #28494.
The existing `token_budget` feature remains unchanged. `rollout_budget`
has its own feature key and configuration type.
## Tests
The config test verifies that the structured fields resolve into
`RolloutBudgetConfig` and do not enable the existing `token_budget`
feature.
Local checks:
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_rollout_budget`
- `cargo check -p codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `git diff --check`
The full workspace test suite was not run locally.
## Why
Som tools, such as history and notes, must remain top-level when MCP
deferral is enabled while staying unavailable through code-mode `exec`.
## What changed
- Added `features.code_mode.direct_only_tool_namespaces`.
- Classified matching MCP tools as `DirectModelOnly`.
- Kept those tools top-level in `code_mode_only`.
- Excluded them from `tool_search` deferral and the nested `exec`
surface.
- Updated the generated config schema.
## Validation

- `load_config_resolves_code_mode_config`
## Summary
Introduces the default-off `respect_system_proxy` feature flag used to
gate first-class system PAC/proxy support for Codex-owned native
clients.
With the feature disabled or absent, behavior remains unchanged. This PR
establishes the configuration and managed-requirement surface; proxy
discovery and request routing are implemented by follow-up PRs.
## Configuration
User configuration uses the standard boolean feature form:
```toml
[features]
respect_system_proxy = true
```
Managed feature requirements use the corresponding boolean key. The
effective runtime configuration is exposed as a boolean and defaults to
`false`.
## Implementation
- Registers `respect_system_proxy` as an under-development, default-off
feature.
- Resolves user configuration and managed feature requirements into
`Config.respect_system_proxy`.
- Provides bootstrap resolution for startup paths that must evaluate the
feature before full configuration loading completes.
- Uses the standard feature CLI and config-editing behavior.
- Excludes `features.respect_system_proxy` from project-local
configuration.
- Updates the generated configuration schema.
## End-user behavior
- No networking behavior changes when the feature is absent or disabled.
- Enabling the feature makes the boolean available to the native
proxy-routing implementation in follow-up PRs.
- Repository-local configuration cannot enable the feature.
## Test coverage
Covers scalar configuration and CLI override resolution, managed
requirement constraints, bootstrap resolution, and project-local
filtering.
## Why
Models sometimes need to pause briefly while waiting for external work,
but using a shell command for that delay ties the wait to a process and
does not naturally resume when new turn input arrives.
## What changed
- add a built-in `sleep` tool behind the under-development `sleep_tool`
feature
- accept a bounded `duration_ms` argument, matching the millisecond
convention used by unified exec
- end the sleep early when either steered user input or mailbox input
arrives
- include elapsed wall-clock time in completed and interrupted outputs
- emit a dedicated core `SleepItem` through `item/started` and
`item/completed`
- expose the sleep item as app-server v2 `ThreadItem::Sleep` and retain
it in reconstructed thread history
- regenerate the configuration schema for the new feature flag
- regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-core sleep_tool_follows_feature_gate`
- `just test -p codex-core any_new_input_interrupts_sleep`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`

## Why
Windows Credential Manager limits generic credential blobs to 2,560
bytes. The encrypted local secrets backend avoids storing large
serialized auth payloads directly in the OS keyring, but selecting that
backend needs an independently reviewable feature/config layer before
the auth and secrets implementation is wired in.
## What Changed
- Added the stable `secret_auth_storage` feature, enabled by default on
Windows and disabled by default elsewhere.
- Added `AuthKeyringBackendKind` and config resolution for full and
bootstrap config loading.
- Applied managed feature requirements when resolving the bootstrap auth
backend.
- Updated the generated config schema and added focused tests.
This is the base PR for #17931. The auth, secrets, MCP, CLI, TUI, and
app-server implementation remains in that follow-up PR.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core
resolve_bootstrap_auth_keyring_backend_kind_uses_secret_auth_storage_feature`
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
The full `just test -p codex-core` run compiled successfully and ran
2,690 tests; 2,589 passed, one was flaky, and 101 environment-sensitive
tests failed because this shell injects a `pyenv` rehash warning into
command output or because sandboxed subprocesses timed out.
## Summary
Adds a `RealtimeConversationArchitecture` option for realtime
conversation startup, with `realtimeapi` as the default and `avas` as an
opt-in architecture.
The AVAS path is limited to realtime v1 conversational WebRTC starts,
and WebRTC call creation appends `intent=quicksilver&architecture=avas`
to `/v1/realtime/calls`. The existing sideband websocket still joins by
`call_id`.
This also exposes the per-session architecture override through
app-server v2 `thread/realtime/start` params and updates the config
schema for `[realtime].architecture`.

## Summary
- add `approvals_reviewer` support to `[apps._default]`
- resolve connected-app reviewers in per-app, app-default, then global
order
- expose the setting through the v2 config API and regenerate schema
fixtures
## Context
PR #25167 added `apps.<connector_id>.approvals_reviewer`, but the shared
app defaults table could not specify the reviewer. This extends the same
behavior to `[apps._default]` while preserving per-app overrides.
Managed `allowed_approvals_reviewers` requirements still constrain both
default and per-app values. A disallowed app value falls back to the
global reviewer, and non-app MCP servers continue using the global
reviewer.
## Testing
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core app_approvals_reviewer`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server config_read_includes_apps`
## Why
The model should be able to see bounded context-window budget metadata
when the `token_budget` feature is enabled. The full-window message is
only injected with full context, while normal turns get a smaller
follow-up only when reported usage first crosses a budget threshold.
## What changed
- Added the `TokenBudget` feature flag.
- Added `<token_budget>` developer fragments for full context-window
metadata and current-window remaining tokens.
- Inserted the threshold message during normal turn handling by
comparing token usage before and after sampling, avoiding persistent
threshold bookkeeping.
- Added core integration coverage for full-context-only metadata and
25/50/75 percent threshold messages.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `git diff --check`
