## Why
External tool events may need to enter thread history without a preceding function call and therefore do not have a `call_id`.
## What changed
- Allow `function_call_output` items to omit `call_id` and carry optional `name` and `namespace` fields.
- Preserve named standalone outputs during history normalization and agent forks while retaining existing pairing behavior for outputs with a `call_id`.
- Accept, persist, and forward these outputs through `thread/inject_items`, and update the app-server schemas and documentation.
## Testing
- Cover paired and standalone JSON round trips, history normalization, agent forks, and injected thread history.

## Why
Environment-owned permission profiles and workspace roots must remain effective
without being persisted or restored as thread-owned settings.
## What changed
- Keep thread settings snapshots and restore data separate from the effective
configuration supplied by the primary environment.
- Use resolved environment permissions, active profiles, workspace roots, and
network policy when building turn context and session events.
- Preserve environment selections when agents are evicted, resumed, or spawned,
and validate owner configuration when it becomes ready.
- Start memory initialization only after the primary environment is configured.
## Testing
- Extend remote-environment and multi-agent tests to cover settings persistence,
owner permission profiles, workspace roots, spawning, eviction, and resume.

## What changed
- Reject a symbolic link used as the memory root.
- Recursively remove symbolic links before preparing or seeding the memory workspace.
- Remove and reject symbolic links created during consolidation, including when the worker fails, so they cannot affect files outside the workspace.
## Testing
Add Unix startup tests covering pre-existing extension links and links created by both successful and failed consolidation workers.
GitOrigin-RevId: f96e03812773f7beaa16455dd77370ee47d8a71f
## Why
Concurrent Guardian samples can finish out of order, allowing an older sample to
replace the thread's newer in-memory security risk score.
## What changed
- Record when each `SecurityRiskScore` sample starts while preserving compatibility
with records that have no timestamp.
- Add `ExtensionData::insert_if` so checking and replacing a typed attachment happen
under the same lock.
- Update Guardian V2 to replace the thread's risk score only when the completed sample
is newer than the stored one.
## Testing
- Verify concurrent conditional inserts retain the newest value.
- Verify Guardian-generated risk scores include a sampling timestamp.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6543a4e5497da4c623331050789e91613f931c4b
## What changed
- Replace the single `category` and `score` fields in `SecurityRiskScore` with a
deterministic map of category names to scores.
- Validate the full Guardian V2 classifier response before storing it as one
thread extension value and, for non-ephemeral threads, one rollout item.
- Cover serialization and rollout loading with snapshots containing multiple
score categories.
GitOrigin-RevId: 24525de691f96bd34ccfe04acab2f01aca309837
## What changed
- Add a `SecurityRiskScore` rollout item containing a category and numeric score.
- Persist the item in both thread history modes while excluding it from model context, user-visible thread history, search text, forks, and reconstructed conversation history.
- Re-export the score type from the extension API.
## Testing
- Cover serialization, persistence and loading, thread history projection, session reconstruction, append planning, and memory filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1926fe366aeaa75052708a6da589f45a38eefb52
## What changed
- Add `TurnInputRequest` and typed submission results for atomically starting a turn, steering the active turn, or declining input with a specific reason.
- Expose `start_or_steer_turn`, `start_turn_if_idle`, and `steer_turn` on `CodexThread`, and migrate Core consumers to these APIs.
- Make app-server `turn/start` steer an active regular turn and return that turn's ID. Reject incompatible output schemas and non-steerable turns without applying settings or enqueueing input.
## Testing
- Cover concurrent start-or-steer submissions, accepted and rejected settings updates, output-schema compatibility, idle-start rejection, and app-server steering.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd9b5528d76ec650c019e97af420bc13190ea86a
## What changed
- Wrap response items with optional harness-owned metadata while keeping the persisted response payload shape backward compatible.
- Store compacted-history metadata in an aligned sidecar and reject malformed sidecars.
- Carry metadata through history normalization, compaction, resume, fork, truncation, migration, and rollout recording without sending it to model providers.
## Testing
- Cover legacy rollout compatibility, metadata serialization and validation, compaction retention, and resume/fork reconstruction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 17a6127c9048ff984cb4df4d97c0751a38c29f5f
## What changed
- Add `codex-history` for model-history and persisted-rollout domain types, including `RolloutItem`, `RolloutLine`, `CompactedItem`, and initial/resumed history state.
- Re-export the persisted types from `codex-rollout` and update consumers to use the new crate boundary instead of `codex-protocol`.
- Preserve existing rollout serialization, including legacy numeric compacted-window IDs.
## Testing
- Add `codex-history` tests for rollout JSON round trips, compacted-history compatibility, persisted history modes, and multi-agent version selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 944daa9297ddd231d3aebbdcb05fff4adf8b4e1b
## What changed
- Add the effective permission profile as `sandbox_mode` in turn metadata for regular, prewarm, compaction, and detached memory requests.
- Reserve `sandbox_mode` so client-provided metadata cannot override the computed value.
## Testing
- Cover metadata headers and request bodies for read-only and danger-full-access modes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 13c690cc99bc2691023f281ca527af049bb1286f
## Why
Persisted base instructions need to retain whether they were explicitly customized or generated from a model template. Without that distinction, forks and config-lock replays can treat model-generated instructions as custom and keep the wrong template after a model or personality change.
## What changed
- Record custom or model provenance with base instructions in rollouts and config locks.
- Preserve custom instructions across model changes, while allowing model-generated instructions to follow the selected model and personality.
- Keep legacy rollouts without provenance compatible and propagate provenance through forks and spawned agents.
## Testing
- Cover provenance serialization and legacy rollout decoding.
- Cover role personality changes, forked model changes, config-lock replay, and multi-agent configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 801c26559835f558027ce5112700c0cd31fcb21b
## What changed
- Parse `codex_rollout_budget_units` from completed Responses API usage into
`TokenUsage`.
- Keep the provider-only value out of serialized protocol, JSON schema, and
TypeScript representations.
## Testing
- Cover the value in unit and end-to-end SSE response parsing tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: a53d4202beb9c8985d25894cb10e7c01f20b2a44
## Why
A phase-two memory job could release its lease while its consolidation agent was
still shutting down, allowing another worker to race the existing agent.
## What changed
- Await consolidation-agent shutdown before validating artifacts and completing
the job.
- Keep the lease until it expires if shutdown fails, and remove the agent from
the thread manager only after shutdown succeeds.
## Testing
Update startup tests to wait for the phase-two job lifecycle to finish and verify
that the consolidation thread has been removed.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7ac3a7369529822ac95fd2ee9dcb27d39c191d20
## Why
Codex and SQLite data can use separate home directories, but state consumers
could reconstruct database paths from the Codex home instead of consistently
using the resolved SQLite configuration.
## What changed
- Pass `SqliteConfig` through the core, rollout, state runtime, and thread store
instead of passing a directory and rebuilding the configuration downstream.
- Use that shared configuration for state, logs, memories, goals, and paginated
thread-history database access, including integrity checks and cleanup.
- Reject state database handles whose SQLite configuration does not match the
requesting store.
## Testing
Add coverage with separate Codex and SQLite homes that verifies startup
backfill, thread listing, and paginated history all use the configured SQLite
directory.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1de1cdd1d6ff1d70bbb6c360c8352e6543fb8ebf
## What changed
- Add `StartThreadOptions::new` to provide the standard configuration for a new thread.
- Make `ThreadManager::start_thread` the single thread-start entry point and migrate callers from the previous convenience methods.
- Derive default environment selections when `environments` is `None`, while preserving explicit selections, including an empty list.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8977dc11aed54c5e1215a81eaed2b2cf5fc6087a
## What changed
- Assign IDs to client-created response items in every session, including streamed items, forked history, compaction results, and non-OpenAI provider requests.
- Preserve server-provided IDs and stable generated IDs across persisted and resumed conversations while continuing to omit unprefixed server IDs from outbound requests.
- Retire `features.item_ids` as a configurable feature. Existing configuration and CLI toggles remain accepted as compatibility no-ops.
## Testing
- Cover default ID assignment, persistence and resume behavior, remote compaction, provider requests, WebSocket requests, and removed-feature compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7a09e2d07d2606c2ef1e8e2283d36cb555557eae
## Why
Backend-backed features need to use the same outbound routing configuration as the rest of Codex.
## What changed
- Build the backend client on a route-aware client pool supplied by `HttpClientFactory`.
- Pass the configured factory through app-server account requests, cloud config loading, cloud tasks, and memory rate-limit checks.
- Preserve task query encoding, authentication headers, JSON request bodies, and ChatGPT cookie handling during the migration.
## Testing
- Add backend-client tests for proxy-policy propagation, task query encoding, bearer authentication, and JSON request bodies.
GitOrigin-RevId: c17d162e0dce9cec758df7cdeecf982207c6512b
## What changed
- Remove the `spawn_agents_on_csv` and `report_agent_job_result` tools and their agent-job runtime and state models.
- Drop the legacy `agent_jobs` and `agent_job_items` tables during state database migration.
- Keep `features.enable_fanout` and `agents.job_max_runtime_seconds` accepted as no-op compatibility settings while omitting them from the generated configuration schema.
## Testing
- Verify upgrades remove both legacy agent-job tables.
- Verify the removed feature and configuration keys still parse without taking effect.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8cc3337da78c67162229f02f40a747f503542646
## What changed
- Parse `cache_write_tokens` from response input token details and carry it through token usage aggregation.
- Expose `cache_write_input_tokens` in protocol, app-server, exec, and TypeScript SDK usage events, defaulting it to zero for compatibility with older payloads.
- Report cache-write usage in analytics, metrics, traces, and rollout data alongside existing cache-read usage.
## Testing
- Add coverage for response parsing, usage event output, aggregation, analytics, metrics, and telemetry fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: 634e4fbe3086a8923c0ee13b622573e7d9d221bd
## Why
Sparse and out-of-order rate-limit updates can omit account metadata or let an
older full read overwrite a newer workspace hard stop. Credit availability also
does not always include a displayable balance.
## What changed
- Propagate the backend's `spendControlReached` state through rate-limit
snapshots and the app-server protocol, preserving it across sparse updates.
- Keep workspace hard-stop classifications for error routing and ignore stale
full-read results after a newer hard-stop notification.
- Base TUI warnings and model-switch prompts on credit availability and hard-stop
state, and show `Credits: Available` when a finite balance is hidden.
## Testing
Added coverage for spend-control mapping, snapshot merging, out-of-order reads,
workspace error routing, warning and prompt behavior, and credit status display.
GitOrigin-RevId: 18b09d493d5a620a7c079fb721ec50b38dd5b04c
## Why
Multi-environment turns can run against different filesystems, so a single
thread-wide workspace-root list cannot accurately describe every selected
environment.
## What changed
- Add optional `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` to each app-server environment selection.
Omitted roots default to that environment's `cwd`, while an empty list selects
no roots.
- Carry environment-native roots through turn selection, model-visible context,
permission materialization, and tool sandboxing.
- Keep the top-level `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` field as a compatibility input when
constructing default environment selections; explicit selections use their
own roots.
## Testing
- Cover thread and turn API defaults, overrides, empty roots, and schema
round-tripping.
- Verify foreign roots remain model-visible and remote execution applies the
target environment's roots before sandbox selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: c6e7a62883c45c676c153055f46a55ee15a323a4
## What changed
- Pass the parent turn's effective permission profile to the memory consolidation agent, including thread-level permission and legacy sandbox overrides.
- Preserve disabled and externally enforced permission profiles instead of replacing them with a managed sandbox.
- Continue restricting consolidation to the memory root without network access when the parent uses Codex-managed permissions.
## Testing
- Add coverage for disabled, external, and managed parent permission profiles.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9ca3be0e41dc14d858053f6f70e33f4ae7c578e1
## Why
Paginated thread history needs durable ordering so consumers can process a rollout suffix without rebuilding all earlier history.
## What changed
- Add optional, zero-based ordinals to `RolloutLine` records in paginated rollouts while leaving legacy rollout serialization unchanged.
- Continue ordinals from the last valid record when appending or resuming, including after gaps or an incomplete tail, and reject overflow without appending.
- Add a stateless `project_rollout_line` helper that maps canonical turn lifecycle and completed-item records into thread-history change sets.
## Testing
- Cover ordinal assignment, legacy compatibility, resume and tail recovery, overflow handling, and thread-history projection for completed, failed, and interrupted turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3a9bb6cd2a1f674a9f154342e96e9aa3d8330781
## Why
The memory consolidation agent changes its working directory to the memory
root, but applying its sandbox policy directly to the permissions object can
leave workspace roots inherited from the parent configuration.
## What changed
Apply the consolidation sandbox policy through `Config` so its workspace roots
are synchronized with the memory root. Add a test covering the working
directory, workspace roots, and effective legacy sandbox policy.
GitOrigin-RevId: dc6e75aef1ffa84a2f66fec6ed3a6fedcf9aa672
## Why
A completed Phase 2 agent run does not guarantee that its required outputs were
created correctly. Treating a clean workspace as success can also preserve a
state where those outputs are missing.
## What changed
- Require `MEMORY.md` to be a file and `memory_summary.md` to start with `v1`
before marking consolidation successful.
- Fail completed runs with invalid artifacts without resetting the workspace
baseline, allowing the job to be retried.
- Run consolidation for a clean workspace when its required artifacts are
invalid instead of taking the no-change success path.
## Testing
Added coverage for rejecting an invalid summary and retrying a clean workspace
whose consolidation artifacts are missing.
GitOrigin-RevId: ac57b2ba9d062c5203ca51afd716795a91814bb3
## Why
`features.respect_system_proxy` already routes authentication traffic
through the OS proxy APIs, but it does not affect the primary inference
path. That leaves users behind OS-managed proxies unable to send normal
Responses API requests even after login succeeds.
This PR is the first product-path migration onto the route-aware
transport introduced in #31323 and refined in #31331. It also
establishes the construction pattern for later migrations: the effective
feature state is resolved once into a required HTTP client factory
rather than represented by an optional per-call setting.
The scope remains limited to the two HTTP Responses endpoints;
WebSockets, model discovery, memories, realtime, and file uploads remain
follow-up migrations.
## What changed
- Replace the optional proxy marker with an explicit
`OutboundProxyPolicy::{ReqwestDefault, RespectSystemProxy}` and a
required `HttpClientFactory`. The policy has no default, and the
lower-level route-aware reqwest builder is now private.
- Have `Config` construct the factory from the effective feature state
and require every `ModelClient` constructor to receive it. There is no
optional setter or implicit `None` fallback.
- Build HTTP clients for `/responses` and `/responses/compact` with
`ClientRouteClass::Api`, using the complete destination URL so PAC rules
can make URL-specific decisions.
- Layer route-aware selection onto Codex's existing default headers,
Cloudflare cookie store, custom CA handling, and sandbox no-proxy
behavior.
- Add an integration test that loads `features.respect_system_proxy`
through `config.toml`, creates a real Codex session, and verifies that
both a normal Responses turn and remote compaction reach an isolated
local proxy.
## Review guide
1. `http-client/src/outbound_proxy.rs` defines the mandatory
policy/factory boundary and keeps route resolution private.
2. `core/src/config/mod.rs`, `core/src/session/session.rs`, and
`core/src/client.rs` show the compile-time invariant: effective config
creates the factory, and `ModelClient` cannot be constructed without
one.
3. `login/src/auth/default_client.rs` preserves existing default-client
behavior while accepting the required factory for migrated routes.
4. `core/src/client.rs` switches only streaming Responses and remote
compaction HTTP transports to the API route class.
5. `core/tests/suite/responses_api_system_proxy.rs` is the behavioral
regression boundary. Its Linux subprocess deliberately sets the CGI
marker that disables reqwest's implicit environment-proxy handling, so
the test fails if session wiring or either Responses call site falls
back to the default client.
## Test plan
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-http-client -p codex-login -p
codex-core`
- `just test -p codex-login`
- `just test -p codex-core
respect_system_proxy_feature_resolves_enabled`
- Existing `compact_uses_bearer_after_agent_identity_session_fallback`
coverage passes with the new transport construction.
- New Linux integration coverage:
`responses_and_compact_use_enabled_system_proxy`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

## 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 0 done
summary 1 done
summary 2 starts
summary 2 cancelled / incomplete
reasoning 0 done <-- cancel summary 2 work and mark it incomplete
message 1 added
message 1 text streams
message 1 completed
```
Depends on
[openai/openai#1096660](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1096660).
## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
## Why
Helper threads such as task title generation can request a model ID that
is valid for the default OpenAI provider but unavailable from the active
provider. With Amazon Bedrock, `gpt-5.4-mini` is rejected while the
provider static catalog exposes Bedrock model IDs such as
`openai.gpt-5.5` and `openai.gpt-5.4`. This causes repeated background
404s and can surface a misleading turn error even when the main turn
succeeds.
Clients need an explicit way to ask app-server to resolve an unavailable
helper model to the active provider default. That fallback must remain
limited to providers with an authoritative static catalog so custom or
dynamically discovered model IDs are not rewritten based on an
incomplete catalog.
Fixes#28741.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `allowProviderModelFallback` option to
`thread/start`, defaulting to `false` to preserve existing behavior.
- Thread the option through thread creation and model selection.
- When enabled for a static model manager, preserve requested models
present in the catalog and replace unavailable models with the provider
default.
- Continue preserving explicit model IDs for dynamic model managers
without fetching a catalog solely to validate them.
- Document the new `thread/start` behavior in the app-server API
overview.
## Test
Temporary test-client harness:
```
ThreadStartParams {
model: Some("gpt-5.4-mini".to_string()),
allow_provider_model_fallback: true,
..Default::default()
}
```
Command:
```
CODEX_HOME=/tmp/codex-bedrock-thread-start-home \
CODEX_E2E_BEDROCK_THREAD_START_ONLY=1 \
./target/debug/codex-app-server-test-client \
--codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
-c 'model_provider="amazon-bedrock"' \

```
Relevant output:
```

## Stack
This is PR 3 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 moves Agent Identity usage into provider auth resolution. That
keeps `AgentAssertion` auth tied to first-party OpenAI provider requests
instead of applying a late session-wide override that could affect
local, custom, Bedrock, API-key, or external-bearer providers.
What changed:
- adds a small `ProviderAuthScope` struct carrying the run auth policy
and session source needed by provider-scoped auth resolution
- lets `Session` opt the existing `ModelClient` into `ChatGptAuth`
policy when `use_agent_identity` is enabled, without adding a second
model-client constructor
- resolves Agent Identity only for first-party OpenAI provider auth
paths
- uses the persisted run task id from the `AgentIdentityAuth` record to
build `AgentAssertion` auth for Responses requests
- routes shared request setup through scoped provider auth so unary
compact requests use the same run-task assertion path as inference turns
- keeps local/custom/Bedrock/env-key/external-bearer provider auth
unchanged
- lets missing run-task state surface through the existing model-request
error path instead of silently falling back to bearer auth
This PR intentionally does not create thread-scoped, target-scoped, or
background-scoped task identities. The run task is the only task Codex
registers in this POC shape.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`
- `just test -p codex-core client::tests::provider_auth_scope_uses`
- `just test -p codex-core remote_compact_uses_agent_identity_assertion`
## Why
Ultra should be one user-facing reasoning selection for work that
benefits from both maximum reasoning and proactive multi-agent
delegation. Without it, clients must coordinate maximum reasoning with
the experimental `multiAgentMode` setting, even though the inference
backend still expects its existing `max` effort value.
This change makes reasoning effort the source of truth: clients select
`ultra`, core derives proactive multi-agent behavior when the turn is
eligible for multi-agent V2, and inference requests continue to use the
backend-compatible `max` value.
## What changed
- Add `ultra` as a first-class reasoning effort and preserve
model-catalog ordering when exposing it to clients.
- Convert `ultra` to `max` at the inference request boundary, including
Responses HTTP/WebSocket requests, startup prewarm, compaction, and
memory summarization.
- Derive effective multi-agent mode per turn from effective reasoning
effort:
- eligible multi-agent V2 + `ultra` → `proactive`
- eligible multi-agent V2 + any other effort → `explicitRequestOnly`
- V1 or otherwise ineligible sessions → no multi-agent mode instruction
- Keep the derived effective mode in turn context history so successive
turns can emit a developer-message update only when the effective mode
changes.
- Remove selected multi-agent mode from core session configuration, turn
construction, thread settings, resume/fork restoration, and subagent
spawn plumbing. Subagents inherit reasoning effort and derive their own
effective mode.
- Retain the experimental app-server `multiAgentMode` fields for wire
compatibility while marking them deprecated. Request values are accepted
but ignored; compatibility response fields report `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Display Ultra in the TUI using the order supplied by `model/list`.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-core ultra_reasoning_uses_max_for_requests`
- `just test -p codex-tui model_reasoning_selection_popup`
## Why
`WorldState` currently remembers its model-visible diff baseline only in
memory. That leaves no durable source for restoring the exact baseline
after resume, fork, rollback, or compaction.
This is the second PR in the WorldState persistence stack, built on
#29833 and following #29249. It records durable state transitions; the
next PR will replay them during rollout reconstruction.
## What
- Add a `world_state` rollout item containing either a full snapshot or
an RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch.
- Persist a full snapshot after initial context and after compaction
establishes a new context window.
- Persist non-empty patches when later sampling steps or turns advance
the WorldState baseline.
- Write model-visible history before its matching WorldState record, so
an interrupted write can only cause a safe repeated update on replay.
- Preserve WorldState records for full-history forks while excluding
them from thread previews, metadata, and app-server history
materialization.
Older binaries read rollout lines independently, so they skip the
unknown `world_state` records while retaining the rest of the thread.
## Testing

## Why
Inter-agent messages are recorded in live history as
`ResponseItem::AgentMessage`, but rollouts stored
`InterAgentCommunication` and rebuilt the response item during resume.
This made the rollout differ from the actual Responses history.
## What changed
- store the prepared `agent_message` response item directly
- keep `trigger_turn` in a small local metadata record for fork
truncation
- keep reading older `inter_agent_communication` rollout items
## Why
Work(TPP) threads can be launched from the Desktop app, but if they all
keep the Desktop app's default originator then downstream attribution
cannot distinguish local Work launches from cloud-backed Work launches.
`thread/start.serviceName` already carries that launch signal, while
`SessionMeta.originator` is the durable thread-level value that survives
resume and fork.
This change converts the Desktop Work service names into an effective
originator at thread creation time, persists that originator with the
thread, and keeps using it for later model requests and memory writes.
## What changed
- Map `CODEX_WORK_LOCAL` and `CODEX_WORK_CLOUD` service names to
per-thread originators, while preserving
`CODEX_INTERNAL_ORIGINATOR_OVERRIDE` as the highest-precedence override.
- Persist the effective originator in `SessionMeta.originator`, read it
back on resume/fork, and inherit the parent originator for subagent
spawns when there is no persisted session metadata.
- Handle truncated `SpawnAgentForkMode::LastNTurns` forks by falling
back to the live parent originator when the forked history no longer
includes `SessionMeta`.
- Thread the per-thread originator through Responses headers,
websocket/compaction request paths, thread-store creation, rollout
metadata, and memory stage-one telemetry.

## Description
This PR cuts Codex over from generic `ResponseItem.metadata` (introduced
here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355) to
`ResponseItem.internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough`, which is the
blessed path and has strongly-typed keys.
For now we have to drop this MAv2 usage of `metadata`:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28561 until we figure out where
that should live.
## Why
Once multi-agent mode can be selected per turn, clients also need to
choose the initial selection when creating a thread and observe that
selection through lifecycle and settings APIs.
The selected value is intentionally distinct from the effective
model-visible value: no client selection is represented as `null`, even
though an eligible multi-agent v2 turn derives `explicitRequestOnly` as
its effective default.
## What changed
- Add the optional experimental `thread/start.multiAgentMode` parameter
and pass it through thread creation.
- Preserve an omitted initial value as an unset selection rather than
eagerly storing `explicitRequestOnly`.
- Apply an explicit `thread/start` selection to the first turn through
the session configuration established at thread creation.
- Restore the latest persisted effective mode as the selected baseline
on cold resume when rollout history contains one.
- Inherit the optional selected mode from a loaded parent when creating
related runtime threads.
- Return the current selected `multiAgentMode` from `thread/start`,
`thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and thread settings, using `null` when
no mode is selected.
- Keep lifecycle reporting independent from model capability and feature
eligibility; core turn construction remains responsible for calculating
and persisting the effective mode.
## Not covered
- Clearing an existing loaded-session selection back to unset through
`turn/start`; omitted or `null` currently retains the session's
selection.
- A TUI control, slash command, or `config.toml` preference.
## Verification
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`
The focused app-server coverage verifies explicit `thread/start`
initialization, first-turn prompting, nullable reporting for an omitted
selection, and retention of selections that are not currently
runtime-eligible.
## Stack
Stacked on #28685. This PR contains only the thread initialization and
lifecycle/settings API layer.
## 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.

## Why
`ResponseItem` variants do not have a consistent internal ID shape: some
variants carry required IDs, some carry optional IDs, and some cannot
represent an ID at all. The existing fields also use inconsistent serde,
TypeScript, and JSON-schema annotations. A single enum-level access path
is needed before history recording can assign and retain IDs.
This PR establishes that internal model only. It intentionally does not
generate or serialize IDs; allocation and wire persistence are isolated
in the stacked follow-up.
## What changed
- Give every concrete `ResponseItem` variant an `Option<String>` ID
field.
- Apply the same internal-only annotations to every ID field:
`#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`, `#[ts(skip)]`, and
`#[schemars(skip)]`.
- Add `ResponseItem::id()` and `ResponseItem::set_id()` as the shared
accessors.
- Preserve IDs when history items are rewritten for truncation.
- Adapt consumers that previously assumed reasoning and image-generation
IDs were required.
- Regenerate app-server schemas so the hidden fields are represented
consistently.
The serde catch-all `ResponseItem::Other` remains ID-less because it
must remain a unit variant.

## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Why
External-agent imports can complete synchronously or continue in the
background for plugins/sessions. Clients need a stable import id to
correlate the immediate response with the eventual completion
notification, and the completion payload needs enough accounting to show
which artifact types succeeded or failed without hiding partial
failures.
## What Changed
- `externalAgentConfig/import` now returns an `importId`;
`externalAgentConfig/import/completed` includes the same `importId` plus
type-level `itemResults`.
- Completed `itemResults` report `successCount`, `errorCount`,
`successes`, and `rawErrors` for each migrated item type.
- Added protocol/schema/TypeScript types for import successes, raw
errors, and type-level results. No progress notification is included in
the final PR.
- `ExternalAgentConfigService::import` now returns an outcome object
with synchronous item results and pending plugin imports.
- Plugin import outcomes track succeeded/failed marketplaces, plugin
ids, and raw errors. Plugin failures can be reported in completed
accounting while later migration items continue.
- Non-plugin synchronous import failures still fail the request, so
invalid config/skills-style failures are not reported as a successful
import response.
- Session imports now return item results. Successful imports include
the source session path and imported thread id; prepare, persist,
ledger, and source-validation failures become raw errors in completion
accounting where the import can continue.
- The request processor generates the `importId`, aggregates synchronous
results with background plugin/session results, and sends a single
completed notification when all selected work is done.
- App-server docs and generated schema fixtures were updated for the new
response/completed payload shapes.

Note: local sandbox validation used `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME` because the

## Intent
Keep Bazel and Starlark files consistently formatted without requiring
contributors to install or version buildifier themselves.
## Implementation
- Add a SHA-256-pinned, cross-platform DotSlash manifest for buildifier
v8.5.1.
- Run buildifier from the shared `just fmt` and `just fmt-check` driver,
with Windows-safe explicit DotSlash invocation.
- Provision DotSlash in formatting CI and contributor devcontainers, and
document the source-build prerequisite.
- Apply the initial mechanical buildifier formatting baseline.
## Why
Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
envelope inside an assistant message.
With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
author and recipient metadata.
## What changed
- add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
regenerate the affected app-server schemas
- preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
of converting it to assistant text
- record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
- persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
`trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
request
- reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
truncation behavior
- remove request-time assistant-content parsing
- preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
memory inputs
- normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
traces without treating inbound messages as child results
- cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
deterministic mailbox synchronization

## Why
We already have the machinery to support multiple environments on a
single thread, but we only show the model the contents of `AGENTS.md`
files in the primary environment.
We should show the model all of the relevant project instructions when
we know there's more than one environment.
## Known Gaps
As discussed in the RFC, this implementation:
1. doesn't handle environments being added/removed to/from the thread
after its creation
2. it doesn't enforce an aggregate context budget across environments,
and instead applies the configured project maximum independently to each
environment
## Implementation
- Discover project instructions in environment order with an independent
byte budget per environment and preserve source provenance/order.
- Keep the legacy fragment byte-for-byte when exactly one environment
contributes project instructions; use environment-labeled sections when
two or more environments contribute.
- Freeze the complete rendered fragment in `LoadedAgentsMd`, insert it
directly into requests, and recognize both layouts in contextual and
memory filtering.
- Add exact rendering, independent-budget, source-order,
creation-snapshot, and consumer coverage without changing app-server
schemas.
## 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.

## What
Introduce a `CodexResponsesMetadata` struct that defines all the core
metadata we send to Responses API. Example fields are `thread_id`,
`turn_id`, `window_id`, etc.
Going forward, `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]` will be the
canonical way Codex sends metadata to Responses API across both HTTP and
websocket transports.
For now, we continue to emit the existing top-level HTTP headers and
top-level `client_metadata` fields from the same
`CodexResponsesMetadata` struct for compatibility reasons.
Also, app-server clients who specify additional
`responsesapi_client_metadata` via `turn/start` and `turn/steer` will
have those fields merged into
`client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, but cannot override the
reserved fields that core uses (i.e. the fields in
`CodexResponsesMetadata`).
## Why
Responses API request instrumentation is the source of truth for
downstream Codex analytics that join requests by Codex IDs such as
session, thread, turn, and context window. Before this change, those
values were assembled through several request-specific paths: HTTP
request bodies, websocket handshake headers, websocket `response.create`
payloads, compaction requests, and the rich `x-codex-turn-metadata`
envelope all had their own wiring.
That made metadata propagation easy to drift across API-key/direct
Responses API requests, ChatGPT-auth/proxied requests, websocket
requests, and compaction requests. It also made additions like
`window_id` error-prone because a field could be added to one transport
projection but missed in another.
## What changed
- Added `CodexResponsesMetadata` as the core-owned snapshot for Codex
metadata sent to ResponsesAPI.
- Render `client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`, flat
`client_metadata` projections, and direct compatibility headers from
that same snapshot.
- Include the known Codex-owned fields in the turn metadata blob,
including installation/session/thread/turn/window IDs, request kind,
lineage, sandbox/workspace metadata, timing, and compaction details.
- Treat app-server `responsesapi_client_metadata` as enrichment for the
Codex turn metadata blob while preventing those extras from overriding
Codex-owned fields.
- Use the same metadata path for normal turns, websocket prewarm, local
compaction, remote v1 compaction, and remote v2 compaction.
- Keep websocket connection-only preconnect metadata separate so
handshakes carry compatibility identity headers without inventing a fake
turn metadata blob.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
Compaction window identity is part of session history, not model-client
transport state. Persisting it with the compacted rollout item lets
resumed threads continue from the reconstructed window without keeping
mutable window state on `ModelClient`.
## What changed
- Added `window_id` to `CompactedItem` and stamp it when
`replace_compacted_history` installs compacted history.
- Moved auto-compact window id ownership into `AutoCompactWindow` /
`SessionState`; `ModelClient` now receives the request window id from
callers instead of storing it.
- Returned `window_id` from rollout reconstruction for resume.
Reconstruction uses the newest surviving compacted item's stored
`window_id` when present, and falls back to the legacy compacted-item
count when it is absent.
- Kept fork startup at the fresh default window id and updated direct
model-client tests to pass explicit test window ids.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
## Why
Memory startup used hardcoded OpenAI model slugs for extraction and
consolidation. That works for the default OpenAI-compatible path, but
provider-specific backends can require different model identifiers. In
particular, Amazon Bedrock should use its Bedrock model ID for these
background memory requests instead of the OpenAI `gpt-5.4-mini` /
`gpt-5.4` slugs.
## What Changed
- Added provider-owned preferred memory model methods alongside
`approval_review_preferred_model`.
- Updated memory extraction and consolidation to resolve their default
model through the active `ModelProvider`.
- Added Amazon Bedrock overrides so both memory stages use
`openai.gpt-5.4` through Bedrock’s provider-specific model ID.
- Kept explicit `memories.extract_model` and
`memories.consolidation_model` config overrides taking precedence.
- Added startup coverage for default OpenAI and Bedrock memory model
selection.
#closes #26288
## Why
CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may not have
a filesystem, while executors can expose preinstalled plugins and
skills. A thread therefore needs to select capabilities without asking
app-server or core to interpret executor-owned paths through the
orchestrator's filesystem.
The longer-term model is broader than executor skills:
- A plugin is a bundle of skills, MCP servers, connectors/apps, and
hooks.
- A plugin root can be local, executor-owned, or hosted by a backend.
- Components inside one plugin can use different access and execution
mechanisms. A skill may be read from a filesystem or through backend
tools; an HTTP MCP server can run without an executor; a stdio MCP
server or hook needs an execution environment.
- Core should carry generic extension initialization data. The extension
that owns a component should discover it, expose it to the model, and
invoke it through the appropriate runtime.
This PR establishes that architecture through one complete vertical:
selecting a root on an executor, discovering the skills beneath it,
exposing those skills to the model, and reading an explicitly invoked
`SKILL.md` through the same executor.
## Contract
`thread/start` gains an experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` field:
```json
{
"selectedCapabilityRoots": [
{
"id": "deploy-plugin@1",
"location": {
"type": "environment",
"environmentId": "workspace",
"path": "/opt/codex/plugins/deploy"
}
}
]
}
```
The root is intentionally not classified as a "plugin" or "skill" in the
API. It can point at a standalone skill, a directory containing several
skills, or a plugin containing skills and other components. This PR only
teaches the skills extension how to consume it; later extensions can
resolve MCP, connector, and hook components from the same selection.
The platform-supplied `id` is stable selection identity. The location
says which runtime owns the root and gives that runtime an opaque path.
App-server does not inspect or canonicalize the path.
## What changed
### Generic thread extension initialization
App-server converts selected roots into `ExtensionDataInit`. Core
carries that generic initialization value until the final thread ID is
known, then creates thread-scoped `ExtensionData` before lifecycle
contributors run.
This keeps `Session` and core independent of the capability-selection
contract. The initialization value is consumed during construction; it
is not retained as another long-lived `Session` field.
### Executor-backed skills
The skills extension now owns an `ExecutorSkillProvider` that:
- resolves the selected environment through `EnvironmentManager`
- discovers, canonicalizes, and reads skills through that environment's
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- contributes the bounded selected-skill catalog as stable developer
context
- reads an explicitly invoked skill body through the authority that
listed it
- warns when an environment or root is unavailable
- never falls back to the orchestrator filesystem for an executor-owned
root
Skill catalog and instruction fragments have hard byte bounds, which
also bound them below the 10K-token per-item context limit. If a
selected executor skill has the same name as a legacy local skill, the
executor selection owns that invocation and the local body is not
injected a second time.
Existing local and bundled skill loading remains in place. Omitting
`selectedCapabilityRoots` therefore preserves current local-only
behavior.
## Current semantics
- Only environment-owned locations are represented in this first
contract.
- Roots are resolved by the destination extension, not by app-server or
core.
- An unavailable executor or invalid root produces a warning and no
capabilities from that root; it does not trigger a local-filesystem
fallback.
- Selection applies to a newly started active thread.
- MCP servers, connectors, and hooks beneath a selected plugin root are
not activated yet.
- Selection is not yet persisted or inherited across resume, fork, or
subagent creation. Existing local capabilities continue to behave as
they do today in those flows.
## Planned vertical follow-ups
1. **Hosted HTTP MCP:** add an extension-backed HTTP MCP source that
works without an executor, then replace the special-purpose MCP plugins
loader with that implementation.
2. **Executor MCP:** register and execute stdio MCP servers through the
environment that owns the selected plugin root.
3. **Backend skills:** add a hosted skill source whose catalog and
bodies are accessed through extension tools rather than a filesystem.
4. **Connectors and hooks:** activate those components through their
owning extensions, using the same selected-root boundary and
component-specific runtime.
5. **Durable selection:** define the desired-selection lifecycle,
persist it, and make resume, fork, and subagent inheritance explicit
rather than accidental.
6. **Local convergence:** incrementally route existing local plugin,
skill, and MCP loading through the same extension model while preserving
current local behavior.
Each follow-up remains reviewable as an end-to-end capability. The
platform selects roots, generic thread extension data carries the
selection, and the owning extension resolves and operates its component.
## Verification
Coverage added for:
- app-server end-to-end discovery and explicit invocation of a skill
inside an executor-selected plugin root
- exclusive invocation when a selected executor skill collides with a
local skill name
- executor filesystem authority for discovery, canonicalization, and
reads
- thread extension initialization before lifecycle contributors run
- stable executor catalog context, explicit invocation, context
rebuilding, hidden skills, and preserved host/remote catalog behavior
Targeted protocol, core-skills, skills-extension, core lifecycle, and
app-server executor-skill tests were run during development.
## 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.
