## Why
Responses WebSockets are the normal lower-latency transport for
WebSocket-capable providers. They must not bypass an OS-selected proxy
when `features.respect_system_proxy` is enabled, but disabling
WebSockets whenever the feature is enabled would impose a substantial
performance penalty.
Merged PR #31622 introduced the reusable proxy-aware WebSocket
transport. This PR makes the Responses API its first consumer so the
existing fast path uses the same effective proxy and trust policy as
HTTP.
## What changed
- Register `codex-websocket-client` as a workspace dependency and use it
from `codex-api`.
- Feed the shared crate’s route-independent `WebSocketConnection` into
the existing Responses message pump.
- Require a configured `HttpClientFactory` for normal Responses
WebSocket connections and the CLI doctor probe, so neither path can open
a connection without consulting the effective proxy policy.
- Pass the session factory from `core` and the effective configuration
factory from `doctor`.
- Add an end-to-end Responses test that enables `RespectSystemProxy`,
asserts the resolved policy, completes a turn over WebSocket, and
verifies the connection and request counts.
- Keep the existing Responses protocol handling, ping/pong pump, and
session-scoped HTTP fallback unchanged.
The DNS, proxy, TLS, custom-CA, and Happy Eyeballs implementation and
its transport tests live in merged PR #31622. This PR deliberately
contains only the Responses integration and does not duplicate that
transport code.
## Review guide
1. `codex-rs/codex-api/src/endpoint/responses_websocket.rs` constructs
the shared connector and adapts its uniform stream to the existing pump.
2. `codex-rs/core/src/client.rs` supplies the session-scoped factory for
production Responses connections.
3. `codex-rs/cli/src/doctor.rs` supplies the effective configuration
factory to the handshake probe.
4. `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/client_websockets.rs` covers the
enabled-feature path end to end.
## Test plan
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-api -p codex-core -p codex-cli`
- `just test -p codex-api`
- `just test -p codex-core
responses_websocket_streams_with_system_proxy_feature`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com). Best reviewed

* #31637
* #31431
* #31363
* #31362
* #31361
* __->__ #31441
## Why
#31323 introduces `codex-http-client` and leaves compatibility
re-exports in `codex-client`. Low-level HTTP consumers should depend on
the crate that now owns those APIs rather than continuing through the
transitional compatibility layer.
This stacked follow-up makes that ownership explicit and moves the
repository toward enforcing the abstraction without mixing call-site
churn into the extraction itself.
## What changed
- Switched `codex-backend-client`, `codex-cloud-tasks`,
`codex-exec-server`, `codex-login`, and `codex-model-provider` from
`codex-client` to `codex-http-client` where they only use low-level HTTP
APIs.
- Added the direct dependency to `codex-api` for its custom-CA request
and websocket paths while retaining `codex-client` for higher-level
retry and transport policy.
- Updated imports and normalized login's internal client type name from
`CodexHttpClient` to `HttpClient`, while preserving its existing
`CodexRequestBuilder` re-export.
- Updated `Cargo.lock` to reflect the new direct dependency edges.
## Review guide
This PR is intentionally mechanical: 20 files and 92 changed lines, with
no runtime logic changes. The largest diff is
`codex-rs/login/src/auth/default_client.rs`, where the only
semantic-looking changes are type and import renames. The remaining
source changes replace `codex_client` import paths with
`codex_http_client`; the manifest and lockfile changes mirror those
imports.
## Test plan
- Compile-checked `codex-api`, `codex-backend-client`,
`codex-cloud-tasks`, `codex-exec-server`, `codex-login`, and
`codex-model-provider` together.
## Why
Codex Apps tools can mark arguments with `openai/fileParams`, but the
execution path resolved and opened those files directly on the host.
That bypassed the selected turn environment and prevented annotated file
arguments from working with remote environments.
## What changed
- resolve annotated file arguments against the primary turn environment
- read file metadata and contents through that environment's sandboxed
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- reject files over the 512 MiB limit from metadata before reading or
transferring them
- retain the buffered upload-size check as defense in depth
- make the OpenAI upload API accept a filename and buffered contents
instead of owning local filesystem access
- describe the model-visible argument as a path in the primary
environment
This builds on #27927, which added `size` to internal filesystem
metadata.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-api upload_openai_file_returns_canonical_uri`
- `just test -p codex-mcp
tool_with_model_visible_input_schema_masks_file_params`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_openai_file`
- `just test -p codex-core
codex_apps_file_params_upload_environment_files_before_mcp_tool_call`
## Why
First-party async traits should expose their `Send` contracts explicitly
without requiring `async_trait`. This completes the migration pattern
established in #27303 and #27304.
## What changed
- Replaced the remaining first-party `async_trait` traits with native
return-position `impl Future + Send` where statically dispatched and
explicit boxed `Send` futures where object safety is required.
- Kept implementations behavior-preserving, outlining existing async
bodies into inherent methods where that keeps the diff reviewable.
- Removed all direct first-party `async-trait` dependencies and the
workspace dependency declaration.
- Added a cargo-deny policy that permits `async-trait` only through the
remaining transitive wrapper crates.
- Updated `rand` from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 to resolve RUSTSEC-2026-0097 and
keep the full cargo-deny check passing.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`: 216 passed, 2 skipped.
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`: 39 passed.
- `just test -p codex-core` and `just test`: changed tests passed;
remaining failures are environment-sensitive suites unrelated to this
migration.
- `cargo deny check`
- `just fix`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
Add the extension-backed standalone `web.run` tool so Codex can call the
standalone search endpoint through the `codex-api` search client and
return its encrypted output to Responses.
- gate the new tool behind `standalone_web_search`
- install the extension in the app-server thread registry and hide
hosted `web_search` when standalone search is enabled for OpenAI
providers so the two paths stay mutually exclusive
- build search context from persisted history using a small tail
heuristic: previous user message, assistant text between the last two
user turns capped at about 1k tokens, and current user message
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates`
## Summary
`cargo test` has entails both running standard Rust tests and doctests.
It turns out that the doctest discovery is fairly slow, and it's a cost
you pay even for crates that don't include any doctests.
This PR disables doctests with `doctest = false` for crates that lack
any doctests.
For the collection of crates below, this speeds up test execution by
>4x.

This is the first mechanical cleanup in a stack whose higher-level goal
is to enable Clippy coverage for async guards held across `.await`
points.
The follow-up commits enable Clippy's
[`await_holding_lock`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#await_holding_lock)
lint and the configurable
[`await_holding_invalid_type`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#await_holding_invalid_type)
lint for Tokio guard types. This PR handles the cases where the
underlying issue is not protected shared mutable state, but a
`tokio::sync::mpsc::UnboundedReceiver` wrapped in `Arc<Mutex<_>>` so
cloned owners can call `recv().await`.
Using a mutex for that shape forces the receiver lock guard to live
across `.await`. Switching these paths to `async-channel` gives us
cloneable `Receiver`s, so each owner can hold a receiver handle directly
and await messages without an async mutex guard.
## What changed
- In `codex-rs/code-mode`, replace the turn-message
`mpsc::UnboundedSender`/`UnboundedReceiver` plus `Arc<Mutex<Receiver>>`
with `async_channel::Sender`/`Receiver`.
- In `codex-rs/codex-api`, replace the realtime websocket event receiver
with an `async_channel::Receiver`, allowing `RealtimeWebsocketEvents`
clones to receive without locking.
- Add `async-channel` as a dependency for `codex-code-mode` and
`codex-api`, and update `Cargo.lock`.
## Verification
- The split stack was verified at the final lint-enabling head with
`just clippy`.
## Summary
- bridge Codex Apps tools that declare `_meta["openai/fileParams"]`
through the OpenAI file upload flow
- mask those file params in model-visible tool schemas so the model
provides absolute local file paths instead of raw file payload objects
- rewrite those local file path arguments client-side into
`ProvidedFilePayload`-shaped objects before the normal MCP tool call
## Details
- applies to scalar and array file params declared in
`openai/fileParams`
- Codex uploads local files directly to the backend and uses the
uploaded file metadata to build the MCP tool arguments locally
- this PR is input-only
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_tool_call -- --nocapture`

## Summary
- split `models-manager` out of `core` and add `ModelsManagerConfig`
plus `Config::to_models_manager_config()` so model metadata paths stop
depending on `core::Config`
- move login-owned/auth-owned code out of `core` into `codex-login`,
move model provider config into `codex-model-provider-info`, move API
bridge mapping into `codex-api`, move protocol-owned types/impls into
`codex-protocol`, and move response debug helpers into a dedicated
`response-debug-context` crate
- move feedback tag emission into `codex-feedback`, relocate tests to
the crates that now own the code, and keep broad temporary re-exports so
this PR avoids a giant import-only rewrite
## Major moves and decisions
- created `codex-models-manager` as the owner for model
cache/catalog/config/model info logic, including the new
`ModelsManagerConfig` struct
- created `codex-model-provider-info` as the owner for provider config
parsing/defaults and kept temporary `codex-login`/`codex-core`
re-exports for old import paths
- moved `api_bridge` error mapping + `CoreAuthProvider` into
`codex-api`, while `codex-login::api_bridge` temporarily re-exports
those symbols and keeps the `auth_provider_from_auth` wrapper
- moved `auth_env_telemetry` and `provider_auth` ownership to
`codex-login`
- moved `CodexErr` ownership to `codex-protocol::error`, plus
`StreamOutput`, `bytes_to_string_smart`, and network policy helpers to
protocol-owned modules
- created `codex-response-debug-context` for
`extract_response_debug_context`, `telemetry_transport_error_message`,
and related response-debug plumbing instead of leaving that behavior in
`core`
- moved `FeedbackRequestTags`, `emit_feedback_request_tags`, and
`emit_feedback_request_tags_with_auth_env` to `codex-feedback`
- deferred removal of temporary re-exports and the mechanical import
rewrites to a stacked follow-up PR so this PR stays reviewable
## Test moves
- moved auth refresh coverage from `core/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs` to
`login/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs`
- moved text encoding coverage from
`core/tests/suite/text_encoding_fix.rs` to
`protocol/src/exec_output_tests.rs`
- moved model info override coverage from
`core/tests/suite/model_info_overrides.rs` to
`models-manager/src/model_info_overrides_tests.rs`
