## What changed
- Remove `untrusted` from the CLI, configuration schema, and MCP tool interface. Explicit `approval_policy = "untrusted"` settings now fail with an actionable error.
- Remove the known-safe command allowlist. Projects marked untrusted now request approval for every command unless an explicit exec policy rule allows it.
- Keep command parsing conservative by treating in-place `sed` forms as mutating and ignoring unrecognized commands when recording memory usage.
## Testing
- Cover rejection of the retired configuration value and approval requests for commands in untrusted projects.

## Why
Filesystem permission paths can use a convention that differs from the host
running Codex. Converting them immediately to native absolute paths can change
the meaning of ambiguous paths such as `/C:/secret` or Windows UNC paths.
## What changed
- Store literal filesystem permission paths as `PathUri` values through the
runtime policy and execution protocol.
- Keep legacy string-based serialization at explicit protocol boundaries and
reject conversions that cannot be represented losslessly.
- Encode native paths as opaque URIs when a normal file URI would imply the
wrong path convention.
## Testing
Added coverage for cross-platform and ambiguous path round trips, UNC path
variants, permission-profile serialization, and deny-policy enforcement.

## What changed
- Delete the unused standalone `apply_patch` instruction template and its
`codex-prompts` export.
- Simplify prompt-caching coverage to assert that requests use the model's base
instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8c0dc9426d9ac0184d587272622db608a75e8436
## What changed
Use the supported `{{ network_access }}` placeholder syntax in the built-in
`danger-full-access`, `read-only`, and `workspace-write` sandbox templates so
permission instructions render the active network access state.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9f8d851016bd7fbedcfc4a9479236b46aca470e8
## What changed
- Apply root and scoped project instructions using the established precedence for `AGENTS.override.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and configured fallback files.
- Treat findings as rule-supported only when repository guidance adds material, repository-specific context beyond generic correctness advice.
- Deduplicate findings without losing their supporting rules, and cite the applicable instruction file and smallest relevant line range in each rule-supported finding.
- Continue reporting ordinary findings independently of whether repository rules apply.

## Why
Default read-only protections for project metadata should apply when paths such
as `.git`, `.agents`, and `.codex` exist, without causing sandbox setup to
materialize missing paths as ACL targets.
## What changed
- Add an optional `missing_path_behavior` to filesystem sandbox entries and
mark default project-metadata protections with `skip`.
- Preserve the behavior through permission transforms and exec/MCP protocol
serialization while keeping existing path wire variants stable.
- Ignore skip-missing entries when projecting configuration or Windows sandbox
overrides, while retaining explicit metadata carveouts.
## Testing
- Cover protocol round trips for path and special-path entries.
- Verify default metadata protections and Windows explicit carveout handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6df13dadacdd131c44aab9f15a967c81051355c1
## What changed
- Add model-catalog approval message variants for `never` and `unless_trusted`.
- Select the catalog message that matches the active approval policy, while retaining the existing built-in text when that variant is absent.
- Treat an explicitly empty variant as an instruction to suppress the built-in approval text, consistent with `on_request` messages.
## Testing
- Cover variant selection, fallback and empty-message behavior, catalog deserialization, and the initial permissions message sent to the model.
GitOrigin-RevId: a0f8d41a08645f39b80093be53f200eeee18ca25
## What changed
- Add per-sandbox-mode permission messages to `ModelMessages` and preserve them when applying model configuration overrides.
- Use the selected catalog message in permission instructions, substituting `{{ network_access }}` with the active network policy. Fall back to the existing sandbox text when no override is provided, and allow an empty override to omit only the sandbox section.
- Apply catalog permission messages when a session starts and when its model changes.
## Testing
- Cover catalog deserialization, mode selection, network substitution, fallback and empty-message behavior, remote model catalogs, and model changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: cd5ed3aee3155dca0e7b2358c0f09bae73236856
## Why
Approval guidance is currently assembled entirely by the client. Model
Messages V2 needs model catalogs to provide model-specific `on_request`
guidance for both user-reviewed and auto-reviewed approval flows while
retaining the existing generated prompt as a compatibility fallback.
## What changed
- add nullable `on_request` and `on_request_auto_review` catalog
messages
- select the message matching the active approvals reviewer for
`on_request` policies
- replace the complete legacy approval section when the selected catalog
value exists, including support for an empty string that suppresses the
section
- retain legacy rendering when the object or selected key is absent, and
for non-`on_request` policies
- preserve approval messages when base-instruction or personality
overrides clear instruction templates
- refresh permissions instructions when the active model changes
- pass catalog messages through initial and incremental permissions
construction
## Relationship to reviewer persistence
PR #31309 independently persists the approvals reviewer in turn context
and refreshes permissions when that reviewer changes. This PR is based
directly on `main` and does not duplicate that rollout migration; once
both land, reviewer switches will also select and append the new catalog
variant.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-models-manager`
- `just test -p codex-core permissions_messages`
## Why
`child_agents_md` is a disabled, under-development experiment that adds
a second model-visible explanation of hierarchical `AGENTS.md` behavior.
Keeping it leaves unused prompt, configuration, documentation, and test
surface.
## What changed
- remove the `ChildAgentsMd` feature and `child_agents_md` config schema
entry
- remove the hierarchical prompt asset, export, and instruction
injection
- remove feature-specific tests and documentation
- keep the generic unstable-feature warning coverage using
`apply_patch_streaming_events`
Normal project `AGENTS.md` discovery and composition are unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-prompts`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core unstable_features_warning`
## Why
`on-request` approval policy text is currently tuned for user-reviewed
approvals. For auto-reviewed productivity runs, likely sandbox blocks
should be escalated earlier so commands that need remote services,
authentication, or other out-of-sandbox access do not first fail or hang
inside the sandbox.
## What changed
- Adds a separate `on_request_auto_review.md` permissions prompt
selected for `AskForApproval::OnRequest` with
`ApprovalsReviewer::AutoReview`.
- Keeps the normal user-reviewed `on-request` wording unchanged.
- Makes the `When to request escalation` bullets more explicit about
likely sandbox blocks, network access, remote
auth/cluster/cloud/database access, out-of-sandbox environment access,
git operations that may write lock files, and short-timeout reruns after
likely sandbox-blocked attempts.
- Omits approved command prefix and `prefix_rule` guidance for the
auto-review on-request prompt.
- Adds prompt tests covering the auto-review path, normal on-request
wording, and inline permission request behavior.
## 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
The skills extension needs the resolved turn environments to build a
real per-turn `SkillListQuery`. The previous `TurnLifecycleContributor`
hook only had a turn id, so it could only seed a placeholder query and
never carry the executor authorities that executor-scoped skill routing
will need.
Moving catalog resolution onto `TurnInputContributor` puts the skills
extension on the same turn-preparation path that already has the
environment ids and working directories for the submitted turn, while
keeping the actual prompt injection work for follow-up changes.
## What changed
- switch `ext/skills` from `TurnLifecycleContributor` to
`TurnInputContributor`
- build `executor_authorities` from `TurnInputContext.environments` and
pass them through `SkillListQuery`
- keep storing the resolved catalog in `SkillsTurnState`, but drop the
placeholder query helper that no longer matches the real data flow
- update the extension TODOs to reflect that per-turn catalog resolution
now happens in the turn-input contributor, and that prompt/context
injection still needs to move later
## Testing
- Not run locally.
## Why
`codex-core` currently owns the generic contextual-fragment trait and
several reusable fragment implementations. That makes it harder for
other crates to share the same host-owned model-input abstraction
without depending on all of `codex-core`.
This change extracts the reusable fragment machinery into a small
`codex-context-fragments` crate so future extension and skills work can
depend on the fragment abstraction directly.
## What Changed
- Added the `codex-context-fragments` crate with:
- `ContextualUserFragment`
- `FragmentRegistration` / `FragmentRegistrationProxy`
- additional-context fragment types
- Moved `SkillInstructions` into `codex-core-skills`, since
skill-specific rendering belongs with skills rather than generic core
context machinery.
- Kept `codex-core` re-exporting the fragment types it still uses
internally, so existing call sites keep the same shape.
- Updated Cargo and Bazel workspace metadata for the new crate.
## Verification
- `cargo metadata --locked --format-version 1 --no-deps`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
`codex_core` is consistently a bottleneck for incremental builds during
iteration. The simplest fix is to make the crate smaller.
## Summary
`codex-core` owns several reusable prompt renderers and static prompt
assets, which makes the crate harder to split apart.
Rename `codex-review-prompts` to `codex-prompts` and move shared review,
goal, permissions, compaction, realtime, hierarchical AGENTS.md, and
`apply_patch` prompts into it. Move prompt-only tests and update
consumers and `CODEOWNERS`.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-prompts -p codex-apply-patch`
- `just test -p codex-core prompt_caching`
- Bazel builds for the affected crates
