## Why
Thread cwd and environment selections are a single logical setting in
core: updating one without the other can silently desynchronize the
next-turn execution context. This change makes that relationship
explicit in the internal thread settings flow while preserving the
existing app-server public API shape.
## What changed
- Moved the cwd/environment pair through internal
`ThreadSettingsOverrides.environment_settings` instead of a top-level
internal `cwd` field.
- Kept `thread/settings/update` public params unchanged, with app-server
translating top-level `cwd` into the paired internal settings shape.
- Moved `Op::UserInput` environment overrides into thread settings so
user turns and settings updates use the same core path.
- Updated core, app-server, MCP, memories, sample, and test callsites to
construct the paired settings shape.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- Local test run starting after PR creation.
## Why
Thread settings cwd overrides are expected to be resolved before they
enter core. Keeping this boundary as a plain `PathBuf` made it easy for
core/session code to keep fallback normalization and relative-path
resolution logic in places that should only receive an already-resolved
cwd.
This is intentionally the absolute-cwd-only slice: it does not change
environment selection stickiness or cwd-to-default-environment fallback
behavior.
## What changed
- Changes `ThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`,
`CodexThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`, and `SessionSettingsUpdate.cwd` to
use `AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Removes core-side cwd normalization/resolution from session settings
updates.
- Updates affected core/app-server test helpers and callsites to pass
existing absolute cwd values or use `abs()` helpers.
## Validation
Opening as draft so CI can start while local validation continues.
## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Why
Workspace-specific `AGENTS.md` loading needs to use the selected
environment filesystem so remote workspaces and child agents read
instructions from their actual environment instead of the host
filesystem. The app-server should report the same instruction sources
the initialized thread actually loaded, rather than independently
rescanning configuration and filesystem state.
## What changed
- Introduce `LoadedAgentsMd` to retain ordered user, project, and
internal instructions with their provenance.
- Load and canonicalize workspace `AGENTS.md` paths through the primary
`EnvironmentManager` environment, then render the loaded instructions
when constructing turn context.
- Expose cached loaded instruction sources from initialized threads and
use them for app-server start, resume, and fork responses.
- Preserve global `CODEX_HOME` loading and separator behavior while
excluding empty project files that did not supply model-visible
instructions.
- Add integration coverage for CLI injection, selected-environment
provenance and rendering, empty environment selection, and cached
sources on loaded-thread resume.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core
selected_environment_sources_match_model_visible_instructions`
- `just test -p codex-exec agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-app-server instruction_sources`
- `just test -p codex-app-server --status-level fail`
## Why
Guardian review turns already submit a read-only `PermissionProfile`,
which is the permissions model the runtime should honor. Passing the
equivalent legacy `SandboxPolicy` through `ThreadSettingsOverrides`
keeps two representations of the same read-only constraint alive on this
path and makes the guardian flow depend on compatibility plumbing that
is being phased out.
## What Changed
- Set `sandbox_policy` to `None` when the guardian review session
submits its child `Op::UserInput`.
- Keep `permission_profile: Some(PermissionProfile::read_only())` and
`approval_policy: Some(AskForApproval::Never)`, so the guardian review
remains read-only and cannot request approvals.
- Remove the now-unused `SandboxPolicy` import and redundant comment
from `codex-rs/core/src/guardian/review_session.rs`.
## Verification
Not run locally; this is a narrow cleanup of redundant thread-settings
override state.
## Why
Guardian auto-review normally uses the provider-preferred review model
when one is available. Some parent models need model-catalog metadata to
select a different review model while keeping older `/models` payloads
compatible when that metadata is absent.
## What changed
- Added optional `ModelInfo::auto_review_model_override` metadata to the
public model payload as a review-model slug.
- Updated Guardian review model selection to prefer the catalog override
when present, while preserving the existing provider preferred-model
path and parent-model fallback when it is omitted.
- Added focused Guardian coverage for override and no-override model
selection.
- Added an `auto_review` core integration suite test that loads override
metadata from a remote model catalog path and asserts the strict
auto-review `/responses` request uses the catalog-selected review model.
- Updated existing `ModelInfo` fixtures and local catalog constructors
for the new optional field.

## Why
This PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/24161#discussion_r3325692763
revealed a subagent data modeling issue, where we overloaded
`forked_from_id` to also mean `parent_thread_id`. That's incorrect since
guardian and review subagents can be a subagent and NOT fork the main
thread's history.
The solution here is to explicitly store a new `parent_thread_id` on
`SessionMeta`, alongside `forked_from_id` which already exists. While
we're at it, also expose it in the app-server protocol on the `Thread`
object.
A thread->subagent relationship and a fork of thread history are
orthogonal concepts.
## What Changed
- Added top-level `parent_thread_id` persistence on `SessionMeta` and
runtime/session plumbing through `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
`CodexSpawnArgs`, `SessionConfiguration`, `ThreadConfigSnapshot`,
`TurnContext`, and `ModelClient`.
- Made turn metadata, request headers, analytics, and subagent-start
events read the separate runtime/top-level parent field instead of
deriving general parent lineage from `SessionSource` or
`forked_from_thread_id`.
- Passed parent lineage separately at delegated subagent, review,
guardian, agent-job, and multi-agent spawn construction sites;
copied-history fork lineage remains derived only from `InitialHistory`.
- Persisted and exposed parent lineage through rollout/thread-store
projections and app-server v2 `Thread.parentThreadId`.
- Updated app-server README text and regenerated app-server schema
fixtures for the additive `parentThreadId` response field.
## Summary
Some permission profiles can encode filesystem reads that should remain
unavailable to the agent. Before this change, the model-visible context
and automatic approval review prompt summarized the effective
permissions as a legacy sandbox mode, which can omit permission-profile
filesystem entries from escalation decisions.
For example, a profile can grant workspace access while denying a
private subtree across every workspace root:
```toml
default_permissions = "restricted-workspace"
[permissions.restricted-workspace.workspace_roots]
"/Users/alice/project" = true
"/Users/alice/other-project" = true
[permissions.restricted-workspace.filesystem]
":minimal" = "read"
[permissions.restricted-workspace.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
"private" = "deny"
"private/**" = "deny"
```
The context window now describes the workspace roots and effective
filesystem side of the `PermissionProfile` directly, with deny entries
marked as non-escalatable:
```xml
<environment_context>
<cwd>/Users/alice/project</cwd>
<shell>zsh</shell>
<filesystem><workspace_roots><root>/Users/alice/project</root><root>/Users/alice/other-project</root></workspace_roots><permission_profile type="managed"><file_system type="restricted"><entry access="read"><special>:minimal</special></entry><entry access="write"><path>/Users/alice/project</path></entry><entry access="write"><path>/Users/alice/other-project</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><path>/Users/alice/project/private</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><path>/Users/alice/other-project/private</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><glob>/Users/alice/project/private/**</glob></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><glob>/Users/alice/other-project/private/**</glob></entry></file_system></permission_profile></filesystem>
</environment_context>
```
Managed requirements can impose the same kind of deny-read restriction:
```toml
[permissions.filesystem]
deny_read = [
"/Users/alice/project/private",
"/Users/alice/project/private/**",
]
```
The automatic approval review prompt also receives the parent turn's
denied-read context, so review decisions can account for the active
permission profile.
## What Changed
- Render the effective filesystem profile in `<environment_context>`,
including profile type, filesystem entries, workspace roots, and
non-escalatable deny entries.
- Persist effective `workspace_roots` in `TurnContextItem` so
resumed/replayed context does not have to bind `:workspace_roots`
through legacy `cwd` fallback.
- Add explicit permission instructions that denied reads are policy
restrictions, not escalation targets.
- Pass the parent turn's denied-read context into automatic approval
reviews.
- Add targeted coverage for prompt rendering, workspace-root
materialization, replay context, and review prompt context.
- Keep the prompt-context test expectations platform-aware so the same
filesystem rendering assertions pass on Unix and Windows paths.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
context::environment_context::tests::serialize_environment_context_with_full_filesystem_profile`
- `just test -p codex-core
context::environment_context::tests::turn_context_item_filesystem_uses_workspace_roots_instead_of_cwd`
- `just test -p codex-core
context::permissions_instructions::permissions_instructions_tests::builds_permissions_from_profile_with_denied_reads`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
I also attempted `just test -p codex-core`; the changed prompt-context
tests passed, but the full local run did not complete cleanly in this
sandboxed macOS environment due unrelated user-shell `CODEX_SANDBOX*`
expectations and integration-test timeouts.
## Why
Guardian reviews already emit analytics events, but we do not expose
aggregate OpenTelemetry metrics for review volume, latency, token usage,
or terminal outcomes. That makes it harder to monitor Guardian behavior
during rollouts and to compare review outcomes by source, action type,
session kind, model, and failure mode.
## What Changed
- Added Guardian review metric names for count, total duration, time to
first token, and token usage in `codex-rs/otel`.
- Added `core/src/guardian/metrics.rs` to convert
`GuardianReviewAnalyticsResult` into sanitized metric tags covering
decision, terminal status, failure reason, approval request source,
reviewed action, session kind, risk/outcome, model, reasoning effort,
and context/truncation state.
- Emitted the new metrics from `track_guardian_review` for each terminal
Guardian review result.
## Testing
- Added
`guardian_review_metrics_record_counts_durations_and_token_usage`, which
verifies the emitted count, duration, TTFT, token usage histograms, and
tag set through the in-memory metrics exporter.
## Summary
- Add the required `/*parent_thread_id*/` argument comment at the
Guardian review session test callsite flagged by CI.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Not run: clippy/tests, per request; CI will cover them.

## Summary
Clear inherited legacy `notify` from Guardian review session config,
since we should not be passing auto review threads into `notify`
targets. Keeps legacy notify payload and hook runtime behavior unchanged
for normal user turns.
## Testing
- [x] add a Guardian config regression and dedicated Guardian
integration test so review sessions cannot inherit parent notify hooks
## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## Why
Once a named permission profile is selected, runtime state has to keep
that profile identity intact instead of collapsing back to anonymous
effective permissions. The session refresh path also needs to rebuild
profile-derived network proxy state so active profile switches take
effect consistently.
## What changed
- Preserve the active permission profile through session updates.
- Rebuild profile-derived runtime/network configuration when the active
profile changes.
- Keep the runtime path aligned with the current session configuration
APIs.
- Tighten the affected tests, including the Windows delete-pending
memory-file case that was intermittently tripping CI.

## Summary
- remove the unreachable ARC monitor path from MCP tool approval
handling
- delete the unused ARC monitor module/tests and trim the orphaned
safety-monitor decision plumbing
- keep `always allow` approvals on the existing auto-approval
short-circuit without a dead monitor hop
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_tool_call`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `git diff --check`
## Additional validation
- Attempted `cargo test -p codex-core`; the library test target passed,
then the integration target failed in this local environment.
- The narrower MCP-focused rerun passed its unit coverage and only hit
missing local `test_stdio_server` binaries in filtered integration
cases.
## Why
`model_auto_compact_token_limit` has only been able to budget the full
active context. That makes it hard to set a small "growth since
compaction" budget for sessions that preserve a large carried window
prefix: the preserved prefix can consume the whole budget and force
immediate repeated compaction.
This PR adds an opt-in `body_after_prefix` scope so callers can apply
`model_auto_compact_token_limit` to sampled output and later growth
after the current carried prefix, while still forcing compaction before
the full model context window is exhausted.
## What changed
- Adds `AutoCompactTokenLimitScope` with the existing `total` behavior
as the default and a new `body_after_prefix` mode:
[`config_types.rs`](973806b1cb/codex-rs/protocol/src/config_types.rs (L24-L37)).
- Threads `model_auto_compact_token_limit_scope` through config loading,
`Config`, `core-api`, and app-server v2 schema/TypeScript generation.
- Records the first observed input-token count for a `body_after_prefix`
compaction window and uses it as the baseline when deciding whether the
scoped auto-compaction budget is exhausted:
[`turn.rs`](973806b1cb/codex-rs/core/src/session/turn.rs (L743-L781)).
- Keeps a hard context-window cap in `body_after_prefix`, so scoped
budgeting cannot let the active context overrun the usable window.
## Verification
Added compact-suite coverage for the two key behaviors:
`body_after_prefix` does not re-compact just because the carried prefix
is larger than the scoped budget, and it still compacts when the total
active context reaches the configured context window:
[`compact.rs`](973806b1cb/codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact.rs (L3003-L3128)).
## Why
`SandboxPolicy` is now a legacy compatibility shape, but several tests
still built a `SandboxPolicy` only to immediately convert it into
`PermissionProfile` for APIs that already accept canonical runtime
permissions. Those detours make it harder to audit where legacy sandbox
policy is still required, because boundary-only usages are mixed
together with ordinary test setup.
## What Changed
- Updated tests in `codex-core`, `codex-exec`, `codex-analytics`, and
`codex-config` to construct `PermissionProfile` values directly when the
code under test takes a permission profile.
- Changed exec-policy, request-permissions, session, and sandbox test
helpers to pass `PermissionProfile` through instead of converting from
`SandboxPolicy` internally.
- Left `SandboxPolicy` in place where tests are explicitly exercising
legacy compatibility or request/response boundaries.
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-analytics -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib safety::tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec_policy::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib exec::tests`

* #23036
* __->__ #23030
## Why
`SandboxPolicy` is being pushed back toward legacy config loading and
compatibility boundaries. Guardian review sessions already want the
built-in read-only permission behavior; carrying that as an active
`PermissionProfile` makes the review sandbox follow the new permissions
path instead of configuring the child session through the legacy policy
API.
## What Changed
- Configure the guardian review session with
`PermissionProfile::read_only()`.
- Send the read-only profile through the guardian child `Op::UserTurn`.
- Keep the legacy `sandbox_policy` field populated with
`SandboxPolicy::new_read_only_policy()` declared next to the profile so
the two remain visibly in sync until the compatibility field goes away.
## How To Review
Start in `codex-rs/core/src/guardian/review_session.rs`. The important
check is that both the guardian config and the child turn now use the
read-only permission profile, while the remaining
`SandboxPolicy::ReadOnly` assignment is only the compatibility field
required by the current turn protocol.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core

* __->__ #22789
## Why
This PR is the invariant-cleanup layer that follows the workspace-roots
base merged in [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610).
#22610 adds `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` and keeps runtime
workspace roots separate from the raw permission profile, but its
in-memory representation is intentionally transitional: `Permissions`
still carries the selected profile identity next to a constrained
`PermissionProfile`. That makes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` fragile
because the id and value only mean the right thing when every caller
keeps them in sync.
This PR introduces a single resolved profile state so profile identity,
`extends`, the profile value, and profile-declared workspace roots
travel together. The next PR,
[#22611](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22611), builds on this by
changing the app-server turn API to select permission profiles by id
plus runtime workspace roots.
## Stack Context
- #22610, now merged: adds profile-declared `workspace_roots`, runtime
workspace roots, and `:workspace_roots` materialization.
- This PR: replaces the parallel active-profile/profile-value fields
with `PermissionProfileState`.
- #22611: switches app-server turn updates toward profile ids plus
runtime workspace roots.
- #22612: updates TUI/exec summaries to show the effective workspace
roots.
Keeping this separate from #22611 is deliberate: reviewers can validate
the internal state invariant before reviewing the app-server protocol
migration.
## What Changed
- Added `ResolvedPermissionProfile::{Legacy, BuiltIn, Named}` and
`PermissionProfileState`.
- Typed built-in profile ids with `BuiltInPermissionProfileId`.
- Moved selected profile identity and profile-declared workspace roots
into the resolved state.
- Replaced `Permissions` parallel profile fields with one
`permission_profile_state`.
- Removed `set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()`
from session sync paths.
- Kept trusted session replay/`SessionConfigured` compatibility through
explicit session snapshot helpers.
- Updated session configuration, MCP initialization, app-server, exec,
TUI, and guardian call sites to consume `&PermissionProfile` directly.
## Review Guide
Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/resolved_permission_profile.rs`; it
is the new invariant boundary. Then review
`codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` to see how config loading records
active profile identity and profile workspace roots. The remaining
call-site changes are mostly mechanical fallout from
`Permissions::permission_profile()` returning `&PermissionProfile`
instead of `&Constrained<PermissionProfile>`.
## Verification
The existing config/session coverage now constructs and asserts through
`PermissionProfileState`. The workspace-root config test also asserts
that profile-declared roots are preserved in the resolved state, which
is the behavior #22611 relies on when runtime roots become mutable
through the app-server API.

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

* #22612
* #22611
* __->__ #22683
## Why
This is the configuration/model half of the alternative permissions
migration we discussed as a comparison point for
[#22401](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22401) and
[#22402](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22402).
The old `workspace-write` model mixes three concerns that we want to
keep separate:
- reusable profile rules that should stay immutable once selected
- user/runtime workspace roots from `cwd`, `--add-dir`, and legacy
workspace-write config
- internal Codex writable roots such as memories, which should not be
shown as user workspace roots
This PR gives permission profiles first-class `workspace_roots` so users
can opt multiple repositories into the same `:workspace_roots` rules
without using broad absolute-path write grants. It also starts
separating the raw selected profile from the effective runtime profile
by making `Permissions` expose explicit accessors instead of public
mutable fields.
A representative `config.toml` looks like this:
```toml
default_permissions = "dev"
[permissions.dev.workspace_roots]
"~/code/openai" = true
"~/code/developers-website" = true
[permissions.dev.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
".codex" = "read"
".git" = "read"
".vscode" = "read"
```
If Codex starts in `~/code/codex` with that profile selected, the
effective workspace-root set becomes:
- `~/code/codex` from the runtime `cwd`
- `~/code/openai` from the profile
- `~/code/developers-website` from the profile
The `:workspace_roots` rules are materialized across each root, so
`.git`, `.codex`, and `.vscode` stay scoped the same way everywhere.
Runtime additions such as `--add-dir` can still layer on later stack
entries without mutating the selected profile.
## Stack Shape
This PR intentionally stops before the profile-identity cleanup in
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) so the base review
stays focused on config loading, workspace-root materialization, and
compatibility with legacy `workspace-write`.
The representation in this PR is therefore transitional: `Permissions`
carries enough state to distinguish the raw constrained profile from the
effective runtime profile, and there are still call sites that must keep
the active profile identity and constrained profile value in sync. The
follow-up PR replaces that with a single resolved profile state
(`ResolvedPermissionProfile` / `PermissionProfileState`) that keeps the
profile id, immutable `PermissionProfile`, and profile-declared
workspace roots together. That follow-up removes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` where
separate arguments could drift out of sync.
Downstream PRs then build on this base to switch app-server turn updates
to profile ids plus runtime workspace roots and to finish the
user-visible summary behavior. Reviewers should judge this PR as the
workspace-roots foundation, not as the final in-memory shape of selected
permission profiles.
## Review Guide
Suggested review order:
1. Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs`.
This is the main shape change in the base slice. `Permissions` now
stores a private raw `Constrained<PermissionProfile>` plus runtime
`workspace_roots`. Callers use `permission_profile()` when they need the
raw constrained value and `effective_permission_profile()` when they
need a materialized runtime profile. As noted above,
[#22683](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22683) replaces this
transitional shape with a resolved profile state that keeps identity and
profile data together.
2. Review `codex-rs/config/src/permissions_toml.rs` and
`codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions.rs`.
These add `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]`, resolve enabled entries
relative to the policy cwd, and keep `:workspace_roots` deny-read glob
patterns symbolic until the actual roots are known.
3. Review `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` and
`codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`.
These add the policy/profile materialization helpers that expand exact
`:workspace_roots` entries and scoped deny-read globs over every
workspace root. This is also where `ActivePermissionProfileModification`
is removed from the core model.
4. Review the legacy bridge in
`Config::load_from_base_config_with_overrides` and
`Config::set_legacy_sandbox_policy`.
This is where legacy `workspace-write` roots become runtime workspace
roots, while Codex internal writable roots stay internal and do not
appear as user-facing workspace roots.
5. Then skim downstream call sites.
The interesting pattern is raw-vs-effective access: state/proxy/bwrap
paths keep the raw constrained profile, while execution, summaries, and
user-visible status use the effective profile and workspace-root list.
## What Changed
- added `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` to the config model and
schema
- added runtime `workspace_roots` state to `Config`/`Permissions` and
`ConfigOverrides`
- made `Permissions` profile fields private and replaced direct mutation
with accessors/setters
- added `PermissionProfile` and `FileSystemSandboxPolicy` helpers for
materializing `:workspace_roots` exact paths and deny-read globs across
all roots
- moved legacy additional writable roots into runtime workspace-root
state instead of active profile modifications
- removed `ActivePermissionProfileModification` and its app-server
protocol/schema export
- updated sandbox/status summary paths so internal writable roots are
not reported as user workspace roots
## Verification Strategy
The targeted tests cover the behavior at the layers where regressions
are most likely:
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/config_tests.rs` verifies config loading,
legacy workspace-root seeding, effective profile materialization, and
memory-root handling.
- `codex-rs/core/src/config/permissions_tests.rs` verifies profile
`workspace_roots` parsing and `:workspace_roots` scoped/glob
compilation.
- `codex-rs/protocol/src/permissions.rs` unit tests verify exact and
glob materialization over multiple workspace roots.
- `codex-rs/tui/src/status/tests.rs` and
`codex-rs/utils/sandbox-summary/src/sandbox_summary.rs` verify the
user-facing summaries show effective workspace roots and hide internal
writes.
I also ran `cargo check --tests` locally after the latest stack refresh
to catch cross-crate API breakage from the private-field/accessor
changes.

## Summary
Removes the feature since this is effectively on by default in all cases
where we should use it, or can be configured via models.json.
## Testing
- [x] unit tests pass
## Why
`TurnContext::cwd` and `TurnContext::resolve_path` are being phased out
in favor of using the selected turn environment cwd directly.
Deprecating both APIs makes any new direct dependency visible while
preserving the existing migration path for current callers.
## What Changed
- Marked `TurnContext::cwd` and `TurnContext::resolve_path` as
deprecated with guidance to use the selected turn environment cwd
instead.
- Added exact `#[allow(deprecated)]` suppressions at each existing
direct usage site, including tests, rather than adding crate-wide
suppression.
- Kept the change behavior-preserving: current cwd reads, writes, and
path resolution continue to use the same values.
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `cargo check -p codex-core`
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Guardian review selection was hard-coded in `core`, which worked for the
default OpenAI path but did not give provider implementations a way to
choose backend-specific reviewer model IDs. That matters for Amazon
Bedrock: guardian review should run through the Bedrock/Mantle provider
using Bedrock's `openai.gpt-5.4` model ID, instead of accidentally
selecting a reviewer model that implies the OpenAI backend.
## What Changed
- Added provider-owned approval review model selection via
`ModelProvider::approval_review_model_selection`.
- Moved the existing default selection policy into the provider
abstraction: prefer the requested reviewer model when it is available,
otherwise fall back to the active turn model, preferring `Low` reasoning
when supported.
- Added an Amazon Bedrock override that pins guardian review to
`openai.gpt-5.4` with `Low` reasoning.
## Why
Review telemetry should describe reviews as first-class events, not only
as counters denormalized onto terminal tool-item events. That lets us
analyze guardian and user reviews consistently across command execution,
file changes, permissions, and network access, while still preserving
the terminal item summaries that existing tool analytics need.
To make those review events accurate, analytics also needs the observed
completion time for each review and enough command metadata to
distinguish `shell` from `unified_exec` reviews.
## What changed
- emit generic `codex_review_event` rows for completed user and guardian
reviews, with review subjects, reviewer, trigger, terminal status,
resolution, and observed duration
- reduce approval request / response / abort facts into review events
for command execution, file change, and permissions flows
- keep denormalized review counts, final approval outcome, and
permission-request flags on terminal tool-item events for
item-associated reviews
- plumb review completion timing so user-review responses and aborts use
app-server-observed completion times, while guardian analytics reuse the
same terminal timestamps emitted on guardian assessment events
- carry command approval `source` through the protocol and app-server
layers so review analytics can distinguish `shell` from `unified_exec`
- add analytics coverage for user-review emission, guardian-review
emission, permission reviews that should not denormalize onto tool
items, item-summary isolation across threads, and the serialized
review-event shape
## Verification

## Why
Long-running turns can accumulate enough denied auto-review decisions to
trip the global short-circuit even when those denials are spread far
apart. The breaker should still stop genuinely bad loops, but it should
judge recent behavior instead of lifetime turn history.
## What changed
- Replaced the lifetime `10 total denials` threshold with `10 denials in
the last 50 reviews`.
- Kept the existing `3 consecutive denials` interrupt behavior
unchanged.
- Tracked recent auto-review outcomes in the circuit breaker and updated
the warning copy to report the rolling-window count.
- Renamed the new rolling-window coverage to `auto_review_*` test names.
- Added coverage that confirms older denials fall out of the 50-review
window and no longer trigger the breaker.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian_rejection_circuit_breaker --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core auto_review_rejection_circuit_breaker --lib`
## Why
We want terminal tool review analytics, but the reducer should not stamp
review timing from its own wall clock.
This PR plumbs review timing through the real protocol and app-server
seams so downstream analytics can consume the emitter's timestamps
directly. Guardian reviews keep their enriched `started_at` /
`completed_at` analytics fields by deriving those legacy second-based
values from the same protocol-native millisecond lifecycle timestamps,
rather than sampling a separate analytics clock.
## What changed
- add `started_at_ms` to user approval request payloads
- add `started_at_ms` / `completed_at_ms` to guardian review
notifications
- preserve Guardian review `started_at` / `completed_at` enrichment from
the protocol-native timing source
- stamp typed `ServerResponse` analytics facts with app-server-observed
`completed_at_ms`
- thread the new timing fields through core, protocol, app-server, TUI,
and analytics fixtures

- fork loaded parent threads from `ThreadStore` history in core agent
control paths
- migrate guardian review fork history to loaded session history instead
of rereading rollout files
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core spawn_agent_fork`
## Why
`multi_agents_v2` is meant to be independently gated from the older
`collab` feature. The tool registry still treated the
collaboration-style agent tools as `collab`-only, so enabling
`multi_agents_v2` without `collab` omitted the v2 agent tools. Review
and guardian sub-sessions also need to keep agent spawning disabled even
when the outer session has `multi_agents_v2` enabled.
## What changed
- Include the collab-backed agent tools when either `multi_agents_v2` or
`collab` is enabled.
- Explicitly disable `multi_agents_v2` for review and guardian review
sub-sessions, matching the existing `spawn_csv` and `collab`
restrictions.
- Add a registry test that enables `multi_agents_v2`, disables `collab`,
and verifies the v2 agent tools are present while legacy `send_input`
and `resume_agent` remain hidden.
## Testing
- Added
`test_build_specs_multi_agent_v2_does_not_require_collab_feature`.
## Why
Reused Guardian review trunks can still have older child-turn events
queued when a later review starts. The review waiter currently accepts
the first terminal event it sees from the shared child session, so a
stale `TurnComplete` can be attributed to the new review. That produces
impossible analytics combinations such as non-null TTFT with sub-10 ms
completion latency and zero token deltas on `trunk_reused` reviews.
## What changed
- Preserve the child turn id returned by the Guardian review
`Op::UserTurn` submission.
- Restrict Guardian review waiting to events correlated with that
submitted child turn.
- Restrict timeout/abort draining to terminal events for the same child
turn.
- Add regression coverage for stale prior-turn completions, stale
prior-turn errors, and interrupt draining in
`codex-rs/core/src/guardian/review_session.rs`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian::review_session::tests::`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --tests -- -D warnings`
## Summary
- include the live auto-review trunk rollout when `/feedback` uploads
logs
- upload that attachment as
`auto-review-rollout-<parent-thread-id>.jsonl` so it is distinguishable
from the parent rollout
- show the same auto-review attachment name in the TUI consent popup
## Scope
- this only covers the live cached auto-review trunk for the current
parent thread
- it does not add durable historical parent->auto-review lookup
- it does not add persisted rollout support for ephemeral parallel
review forks
## UI

- `cargo test -p codex-tui feedback_upload_consent_popup_snapshot`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui

## Known unrelated local failures
- `cargo test -p codex-core` currently fails in the pre-existing proxy
env snapshot test
`tools::runtimes::tests::maybe_wrap_shell_lc_with_snapshot_keeps_user_proxy_env_when_proxy_inactive`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` currently hits pre-existing `status::*`
snapshot drift unrelated to this change
## Follow-Up
- persist parallel auto-review fork sessions so /feedback can include
their rollout history too
- attach each persisted fork as its own clearly named file, for example
auto-review-rollout-<parent-thread-id>-fork <n>.jsonl, instead of
merging multiple Guardian sessions into one attachment
- keep the same live-session-only scope initially; durable historical
parent -> auto-review lookup can remain a separate decision if we later
need feedback from resumed sessions
## Why
Network access approval prompts were showing the generic retry reason,
which made auto-review focus on the blocked connection instead of the
command that caused it. This makes network approvals easier to assess by
telling the reviewer to evaluate whether the triggering command was
authorised by the user and within policy, and to treat the network call
as acceptable when it is a reasonable consequence of that command.
## What changed
- Split guardian approval request prompt rendering so `NetworkAccess`
has a dedicated branch.
- For network requests, show `Network approval context` and `Network
access JSON` instead of `Retry reason` / `Planned action JSON`.
- Added regression coverage for the network approval prompt wording and
for omitting retry reason in this case.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core
guardian::tests::build_guardian_prompt_items_explains_network_access_review_scope`
## Why
Auto-review can deny an action that the user later decides they want to
retry. Today there is no TUI surface for selecting a recent denial and
sending explicit approval context back into the session, so users have
to restate intent manually and the retry can be reviewed without the
original denied action context.
This adds a narrow TUI-driven path for approving a recent denied action
while still keeping the retry inside the normal auto-review flow.
## What Changed
- Added `/auto-review-denials` to open a picker of recent denied
auto-review actions.
- Added a small in-memory TUI store for the 10 most recent denied
auto-review events.
- Selecting a denial sends the structured denied event back through the
existing core/app-server op path.
- Core now injects a developer message containing the approved action
JSON rather than the full assessment event.
- Auto-review transcript collection now preserves this specific approval
developer message so follow-up review sessions can see the user approval
context.
- Added TUI snapshot/unit coverage for the picker and approval dispatch
path.
- Added core coverage for retaining the approval developer message in
the auto-review transcript.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core
collect_guardian_transcript_entries_keeps_manual_approval_developer_message`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui auto_review_denials`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
approving_recent_denial_emits_structured_core_op_once`
## Notes
This intentionally keeps retries going through auto-review. The approval
signal is context for the exact previously denied action, not a blanket
bypass for similar future actions.
## Why
Runtime decisions should not infer permissions from the lossy legacy
sandbox projection once `PermissionProfile` is available. In particular,
`Disabled` and `External` need to remain distinct, and managed profiles
with split filesystem or deny-read rules should not be collapsed before
approval, network, safety, or analytics code makes decisions.
## What Changed
- Changes managed network proxy setup and network approval logic to use
`PermissionProfile` when deciding whether a managed sandbox is active.
- Migrates patch safety, Guardian/user-shell approval paths, Landlock
helper setup, analytics sandbox classification, and selected
turn/session code to profile-backed permissions.
- Validates command-level profile overrides against the constrained
`PermissionProfile` rather than a strict `SandboxPolicy` round trip.
- Preserves configured deny-read restrictions when command profiles are
narrowed.
- Adds coverage for profile-backed trust, network proxy/approval
behavior, patch safety, analytics classification, and command-profile
narrowing.

[//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER)
Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com). Best reviewed
with [ReviewStack](https://reviewstack.dev/openai/codex/pull/19393).
* #19395
* #19394
* __->__ #19393
## Why
Config loading had become split across crates: `codex-config` owned the
config types and merge logic, while `codex-core` still owned the loader
that assembled the layer stack. This change consolidates that
responsibility in `codex-config`, so the crate that defines config
behavior also owns how configs are discovered and loaded.
To make that move possible without reintroducing the old dependency
cycle, the shell-environment policy types and helpers that
`codex-exec-server` needs now live in `codex-protocol` instead of
flowing through `codex-config`.
This also makes the migrated loader tests more deterministic on machines
that already have managed or system Codex config installed by letting
tests override the system config and requirements paths instead of
reading the host's `/etc/codex`.
## What Changed
- moved the config loader implementation from `codex-core` into
`codex-config::loader` and deleted the old `core::config_loader` module
instead of leaving a compatibility shim
- moved shell-environment policy types and helpers into
`codex-protocol`, then updated `codex-exec-server` and other downstream
crates to import them from their new home
- updated downstream callers to use loader/config APIs from
`codex-config`
- added test-only loader overrides for system config and requirements
paths so loader-focused tests do not depend on host-managed config state
- cleaned up now-unused dependency entries and platform-specific cfgs
that were surfaced by post-push CI
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_loader_tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-exec-server -p
codex-cloud-requirements -p codex-rmcp-client --lib`
- `cargo test --lib -p codex-app-server-client -p codex-exec`
- `cargo test --no-run --lib -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox --lib`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Notes
- I did not chase unrelated full-suite failures outside the migrated
loader surface.
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` still hits unrelated proxy-sensitive
failures on this machine, and Windows CI still shows unrelated
long-running/timeouting test noise outside the loader migration itself.
## Why
This supersedes #19391. During stack repair, GitHub marked #19391 as
merged into a temporary stack branch rather than into `main`, so the
runtime-config change needed a fresh PR.
`PermissionProfile` is now the canonical permissions shape after #19231
because it can distinguish `Managed`, `Disabled`, and `External`
enforcement while also carrying filesystem rules that legacy
`SandboxPolicy` cannot represent cleanly. Core config and session state
still needed to accept profile-backed permissions without forcing every
profile through the strict legacy bridge, which rejected valid runtime
profiles such as direct write roots.
The unrelated CI/test hardening that previously rode along with this PR
has been split into #19683 so this PR stays focused on the permissions
model migration.
## What Changed
- Adds `Permissions.permission_profile` and
`SessionConfiguration.permission_profile` as constrained runtime state,
while keeping `sandbox_policy` as a legacy compatibility projection.
- Introduces profile setters that keep `PermissionProfile`, split
filesystem/network policies, and legacy `SandboxPolicy` projections
synchronized.
- Uses a compatibility projection for requirement checks and legacy
consumers instead of rejecting profiles that cannot round-trip through
`SandboxPolicy` exactly.
- Updates config loading, config overrides, session updates, turn
context plumbing, prompt permission text, sandbox tags, and exec request
construction to carry profile-backed runtime permissions.
- Preserves configured deny-read entries and `glob_scan_max_depth` when
command/session profiles are narrowed.
- Adds `PermissionProfile::read_only()` and
`PermissionProfile::workspace_write()` presets that match legacy
defaults.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core direct_write_roots`
- `cargo test -p codex-core runtime_roots_to_legacy_projection`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server

* #19395
* #19394
* #19393
* #19392
* __->__ #19606
## Why
`PermissionProfile` is becoming the canonical permissions abstraction,
but the old shape only carried optional filesystem and network fields.
It could describe allowed access, but not who is responsible for
enforcing it. That made `DangerFullAccess` and `ExternalSandbox` lossy
when profiles were exported, cached, or round-tripped through app-server
APIs.
The important model change is that active permissions are now a disjoint
union over the enforcement mode. Conceptually:
```rust
pub enum PermissionProfile {
Managed {
file_system: FileSystemSandboxPolicy,
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
Disabled,
External {
network: NetworkSandboxPolicy,
},
}
```
This distinction matters because `Disabled` means Codex should apply no
outer sandbox at all, while `External` means filesystem isolation is
owned by an outside caller. Those are not equivalent to a broad managed
sandbox. For example, macOS cannot nest Seatbelt inside Seatbelt, so an
inner sandbox may require the outer Codex layer to use no sandbox rather
than a permissive one.
## How Existing Modeling Maps
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains a boundary projection, but it now maps
into the higher-fidelity profile model:
- `ReadOnly` and `WorkspaceWrite` map to `PermissionProfile::Managed`
with restricted filesystem entries plus the corresponding network
policy.
- `DangerFullAccess` maps to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`, preserving
the “no outer sandbox” intent instead of treating it as a lax managed
sandbox.
- `ExternalSandbox { network_access }` maps to
`PermissionProfile::External { network }`, preserving external
filesystem enforcement while still carrying the active network policy.
- Split runtime policies that legacy `SandboxPolicy` cannot faithfully
express, such as managed unrestricted filesystem plus restricted
network, stay `Managed` instead of being collapsed into
`ExternalSandbox`.
- Per-command/session/turn grants remain partial overlays via
`AdditionalPermissionProfile`; full `PermissionProfile` is reserved for
complete active runtime permissions.
## What Changed
- Change active `PermissionProfile` into a tagged union: `managed`,
`disabled`, and `external`.
- Keep partial permission grants separate with
`AdditionalPermissionProfile` for command/session/turn overlays.
- Represent managed filesystem permissions as either `restricted`
entries or `unrestricted`; `glob_scan_max_depth` is non-zero when
present.
- Preserve old rollout compatibility by accepting the pre-tagged `{
network, file_system }` profile shape during deserialization.
- Preserve fidelity for important edge cases: `DangerFullAccess`
round-trips as `disabled`, `ExternalSandbox` round-trips as `external`,
and managed unrestricted filesystem + restricted network stays managed
instead of being mistaken for external enforcement.
- Preserve configured deny-read entries and bounded glob scan depth when
full profiles are projected back into runtime policies, including
unrestricted replacements that now become `:root = write` plus deny
entries.
- Regenerate the experimental app-server v2 JSON/TypeScript schema and
update the `command/exec` README example for the tagged
`permissionProfile` shape.
## Compatibility
Legacy `SandboxPolicy` remains available at config/API boundaries as the
compatibility projection. Existing rollout lines with the old
`PermissionProfile` shape continue to load. The app-server
`permissionProfile` field is experimental, so its v2 wire shape is
intentionally updated to match the higher-fidelity model.

## Why
`codex-models-manager` had grown to own provider-specific concerns:
constructing OpenAI-compatible `/models` requests, resolving provider
auth, emitting request telemetry, and deciding how provider catalogs
should be sourced. That made the manager harder to reuse for providers
whose model catalog is not fetched from the OpenAI `/models` endpoint,
such as Amazon Bedrock.
This change moves provider-specific model discovery behind
provider-owned implementations, so the models manager can focus on
refresh policy, cache behavior, picker ordering, and model metadata
merging.
## What Changed
- Introduced a `ModelsManager` trait with separate `OpenAiModelsManager`
and `StaticModelsManager` implementations.
- Added `ModelsEndpointClient` so OpenAI-compatible HTTP fetching lives
outside `codex-models-manager`.
- Moved `/models` request construction, provider auth resolution,
timeout handling, and request telemetry into `codex-model-provider` via
`OpenAiModelsEndpoint`.
- Added provider-owned `models_manager(...)` construction so configured
OpenAI-compatible providers use `OpenAiModelsManager`, while
static/catalog-backed providers can return `StaticModelsManager`.
- Added an Amazon Bedrock static model catalog for the GPT OSS Bedrock
model IDs.
- Updated core/session/thread manager code and tests to depend on
`Arc<dyn ModelsManager>`.
- Moved offline model test helpers into
`codex_models_manager::test_support`.
## Metadata References
The Bedrock catalog metadata is based on the official Amazon Bedrock
OpenAI model documentation:
- [Amazon Bedrock OpenAI
models](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters-openai.html)
lists the Bedrock model IDs, text input/output modalities, and `128,000`
token context window for `gpt-oss-20b` and `gpt-oss-120b`.
- [Amazon Bedrock `gpt-oss-120b` model
card](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-openai-gpt-oss-120b.html)
lists the `bedrock-runtime` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`, the
`bedrock-mantle` model ID `openai.gpt-oss-120b`, text-only modalities,
and `128K` context window.
- [OpenAI `gpt-oss-120b` model
docs](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-oss-120b)
document configurable reasoning effort with `low`, `medium`, and `high`,
plus text input/output modality.
The display names, default reasoning effort, and priority ordering are
Codex-local catalog choices.
## Test Plan
- Manually verified app-server model listing with an AWS profile:
```shell
CODEX_HOME="$(mktemp -d)" cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
--codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
-c 'model_provider="amazon-bedrock"' \
-c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.profile="codex-bedrock"' \
-c 'model_providers.amazon-bedrock.aws.region="us-west-2"' \
model-list
```
The response returned the Bedrock catalog with `openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0`
as the default model and `openai.gpt-oss-20b-1:0` as the second listed
model, both text-only and supporting low/medium/high reasoning effort.
## Why
Per-turn permission overrides should use the same canonical profile
abstraction as session configuration. That lets TUI submissions preserve
exact configured permissions without round-tripping through legacy
sandbox fields.
## What changed
This adds `permission_profile` to user-turn operations, threads it
through TUI/app-server submission paths, fills the new field in existing
test fixtures, and adds coverage that composer submission includes the
configured profile.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages --
--nocapture`
