## Summary
- Rename the string-valued external web access enum variants from
`Offline` / `Online` to `Cached` / `Live`.
- Align the transport names with the existing `web_search = "cached"` /
`"live"` configuration vocabulary.
Existing behavior is unchanged: `WebSearchMode::Cached` and
`WebSearchMode::Live` continue to send the backward-compatible boolean
values `false` and `true`; `Indexed` remains the only mode currently
sent as a string.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-api` (127 passed)
## 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
```
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-api` (`126 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension` (`7 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_can_call_indexed_standalone_web_search` (`1 passed`)
- Focused configuration, hosted request, standalone request, and
managed-requirement coverage is included in the PR; remaining suites run
in CI.
The full workspace test suite was not run locally.
## What
- Consume plaintext `output` from standalone search while retaining
optional `encrypted_output` parsing.
- Expose `web.run` to code mode and return search output to nested
JavaScript calls.
- Cover direct and code-mode standalone search paths with integration
tests.
## Why
`/v1/alpha/search` now returns plaintext output, which code mode needs
to consume standalone search results.
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-api`
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `just test -p codex-core code_mode_can_call_standalone_web_search`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
standalone_web_search_round_trips_output`
## Why
The standalone `/v1/alpha/search` request now requires a `model`, but
the `web.run` extension currently omits it.
Adds `model` to extension `ToolCall` invocation.
Follow-up to #23823.
## What changed
- Make `SearchRequest.model` required.
- Expose the effective per-turn model on extension tool calls and pass
it in standalone web-search requests.
- Assert the model is forwarded in the app-server round-trip test.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-api -p codex-tools -p codex-web-search-extension
-p codex-memories-extension -p codex-goal-extension`
- `just test -p codex-core -E
'test(passes_turn_fields_and_scoped_turn_item_emitter_to_extension_call)'`
- `just test -p codex-app-server -E
'test(standalone_web_search_round_trips_encrypted_output)'`
## 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`
add standalone web search request types and a `codex-api` client ahead
of the extension-contributed search tool.
this adds typed commands/settings and opaque encrypted output handling
for the new standalone search flow. the endpoint types are close to
finalized but may still shift slightly as that API settles.
