## 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`
This PR brought to you via VS Code rather than Codex...
- opened `codex-rs/app-server/tests/common/mcp_process.rs`
- put the cursor on `McpServer`
- hit `F2` and renamed the symbol to `TestAppServer`
- went to the file tree
- hit enter and renamed `mcp_process.rs` to `test_app_server.rs`
- ran **Save All Files** from the Command Palette
- ran `just fmt`
The End
(Admittedly, most of the local variables for `TestAppServer` are still
named `mcp`, though.)
## 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)'`
## Why
Standalone `web.run` calls run in the extension, so they need normal
web-search progress activity while a request is in flight and durable
completed activity after a thread is reloaded.
Follow-up to #23823; uses the extension turn-item emission path added in
#24813.
## What changed
- Emit standalone `web.run` start/completion items through the host
turn-item emitter, preserving standard client delivery and rollout
persistence.
- Include useful completion detail for queries, image queries, and
literal-URL `open`/`find` commands.
- Render completed searches as `Searched the web` or `Searched the web
for <detail>`, with snapshot coverage for the detail-free case.
- Extend the app-server round-trip test to verify completed search
activity is reconstructed by `thread/read` after a fresh-process reload.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `just test -p codex-app-server -E
"test(standalone_web_search_round_trips_encrypted_output)"`
## Summary
Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.
## Details
- Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
- Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
generated TypeScript.
- Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core
protocol types.
- Regenerates app-server schema fixtures.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-protocol`
- `git diff --check`
add new `parse_tool_input_schema_without_compaction` to bypass the
existing compaction/trimming of client-provided tool schemas that are
over 4k bytes.
we want this for standalone web search to keep field guidance/metadata
on certain fields; this keeps us closer to parity with existing hosted
tool schema (which didnt go through this 4k byte filter).
## 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
