## What changed
Add an optional `NetworkPolicyMetadataProvider` to the MCP runtime. Advertise `codex/network-policy-meta` only to trusted ChatGPT origins when a provider is available, and attach policy metadata only when the sending session also advertises support.
Strip caller-supplied policy metadata and derive restrictions from the call's captured permission profile and server environment. Resolve metadata against each session's capabilities, including after recovery, while retaining one policy snapshot per call. Fail the call before sending if policy resolution fails. Existing runtime callers leave the provider unset.
## Testing
Add tests for capability negotiation, trusted-origin restrictions, forged metadata removal, both tool dispatch paths, and policy snapshot reuse. Add HTTP session-recovery coverage for changing capabilities and policy-resolution failures while preserving caller metadata and read-only restrictions.

## Why
ChatGPT backend requests could bypass the configured network policy by using a default HTTP client. Requests using captured credentials must also retain the corresponding account policy so revocation continues to block them.
## What changed
- Use the configured HTTP client factory for ChatGPT GET and POST requests, enforcing managed network policy while retaining cookies.
- Capture authentication and network policy together for app reads and plugin reads and installs, preserving that policy across the post-install configuration reload.
- Bind GET requests to the current account policy before loading credentials.
## Testing
Add regression tests for revoked account policies, blocked connector destinations, and network policy enforcement after configuration reload with a cached app client.

## Why
MCP requests requiring user input previously failed in subagents with guidance to ask the parent agent, blocking browser sign-in, form input, and interactive tool approval in the child thread.
## What changed
Remove the root-only MCP elicitation guard and `allow_user_interaction` plumbing so subagents can surface prompts and wait for responses under the existing approval policy and automatic review rules. Connector authentication can now return retry guidance after acceptance or preserve the original failure when declined.
Keep legacy tool approvals through `request_user_input` restricted to the root thread.
## Testing
Update unit and integration coverage for subagent prompt resolution, form responses, connector authentication acceptance and decline, automatic approval, strict review, and approval-policy updates on reused connections. Update the browser sign-in scenario snapshot to show the subagent continuing after an accepted response.
GitOrigin-RevId: c226fc6dfde724ed22b91dc04dd32bbc15245bee
## Why
MCP requests that need human input, including browser sign-in, must be handled by the root thread. Subagents need guidance to hand these blockers to their parent without prompting the user or automatically accepting requests that require input.
## What changed
- Reject interactive MCP elicitations and tool approval prompts in subagents with guidance to ask the parent and wait before retrying.
- Recognize browser authentication and `codex_requires_user_input` metadata even when the form schema is empty, while preserving automatic permission approvals and review decisions.
- Carry user-interaction eligibility through MCP runtime creation and connection reuse, and guard prompt registration.
- Preserve connector authentication diagnostics alongside handoff guidance, subject to normal tool-output limits.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for blocked subagent prompts, root browser authentication, automatic approval and review, connection reuse, and authentication diagnostic preservation and truncation. Add a request-history snapshot for browser-auth handoff guidance.
GitOrigin-RevId: 83e146b6e5c1a2a22a34681ad45615f504b3c96c
## Why
Calling `app/installed` with `threadId` and `forceRefresh: true` refreshed a separate runtime snapshot without updating the thread's tools for subsequent turns.
## What changed
Use the thread's current configuration and refresh its live app tools when a thread is specified. Account for the refreshed snapshot's model-visible tools when reporting `callable`. Requests without `threadId` continue to use a separate runtime for refreshes.
## Testing
Add integration coverage verifying that refreshed tools replace previous tools in subsequent model requests and can be called, and that a failed refresh preserves the last working tools. Extend thread configuration coverage to include forced refreshes.
GitOrigin-RevId: fc13e28a59da00af470cf25c0cde356504e1575b
## What changed
- Fetch ChatGPT account access and attach `cyber_trusted_access` under
`openai/entitlementContext` when an installed or selected plugin explicitly
requests it from a local, read-only stdio tool with no arguments.
- Reject caller-supplied entitlement context on direct MCP calls, and fall back
to an `unknown` status when access cannot be verified or the account changes
during the lookup.
- Count entitlement lookup time against the MCP tool-call timeout.
## Testing
- Cover eligible calls plus unowned, remote, HTTP, mutable, argument-bearing,
API-key, undeclared, direct, and account-switch cases in core and app-server
integration tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 303b61585ef4530276c373d914a2d0ccef1f4ac2
## Why
MCP servers attached to executor environments must retain their owner's
permission profile instead of inheriting the thread-wide sandbox authority.
## What changed
- Resolve and capture a permission profile for each enabled MCP server when
publishing the runtime, and reject calls or elicitations when that authority
is unavailable.
- Use the captured server profile for tool approval decisions, elicitation, and
sandbox metadata, including after runtime refreshes.
- Materialize `:workspace_roots` from `PathUri` values so permissions preserve
the path convention of remote executor environments.
- Give threadless app discovery and resource reads an explicit default
permission profile.
## Testing
Added coverage for per-server elicitation authority, unresolved attachments,
runtime refreshes, restricted tool calls, and foreign-platform workspace roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6b188d4b08b29e9971ff7aa68a7785a0cdf9e394
## What changed
- Stop fetching the ChatGPT workspace `enable_plugins` setting.
- Let the effective Codex feature configuration control app and plugin APIs,
plugin-provided skills and hooks, and experimental feature reporting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 46aebf0f07cd47e093e48663e41207cdf9a38c9f
## What changed
- Add an optional `threadId` parameter to `app/read`.
- When provided, load the thread's effective configuration before applying app feature gating, workspace policy, and plugin attribution.
- Share the thread-aware configuration loader with `app/list`.
## Testing
- Add coverage showing that `app/read` honors a thread-level connector feature override.
GitOrigin-RevId: 161e910a2d7435ecf4acd0ba9f5f5069d1631f12
## Why
Subagents can reuse cached MCP tool definitions without starting every optional
server before any of its tools are used.
## What changed
- Defer startup for subagent-owned, optional MCP servers when their cache has at
least one visible, allowed tool, and trigger startup on the first operation
that needs the live client.
- Keep root sessions, required servers, selected plugin servers, and explicit
reconnects eager.
- Exclude empty catalogs from cache eligibility and keep dormant servers out of
the initial startup summary.
## Testing
- Extend MCP tool-cache coverage for eager root startup, unused and filtered
subagent servers, deferred startup status events, and startup that survives an
interrupted first tool call.
GitOrigin-RevId: e7528ff08312583a6747cbc6550ea5b6eabda9a6
## Why
App-server clients need to advertise structured MCP extension settings, including supported MCP App UI MIME types, rather than only opting into OpenAI form elicitation with a boolean.
## What changed
- Add an `extensions` map to initialize capabilities and preserve `mcpServerOpenaiFormElicitation` as a legacy alias for `openai/form`.
- Capture the declared extension profile when a thread is started, resumed, or forked, propagate it to subagents, and advertise it to downstream MCP servers during initialization.
- Keep the profile stable for the lifetime of the loaded session instead of changing it on later turns or direct tool calls.
## Testing
- Cover extension conversion, downstream MCP initialization, session isolation, legacy form support, and subagent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: fbcedbb74ce788e574b0f884a4c45c4cedb9de54
## What changed
- Record `codex.apps.read.duration_ms` when `app/read` returns a response.
- Tag the duration by the request's `include_tools` value.
- Move the `app/read` handler into its own request-processor module.
GitOrigin-RevId: e1563cd41c72ad03e7f5d5d33cd8a3b35e27984b
## Why
The snapshot-backed `apps/installed` duration metric needs dimensions that can
be compared with the legacy `app/list` baseline.
## What changed
- Label snapshot-backed duration samples with `path=installed` and add the
legacy-compatible `reload` dimension alongside the detailed refresh fields.
- Record duration samples only for successful responses so failed requests do
not enter the success latency distribution.
## Testing
Added unit coverage for the duration metric dimensions on refreshed and
non-refreshed requests, and for omitting samples on failed requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0755dcaaa94f1d973adfc62a27ea97e3e01edc8b
## Why
Refreshing MCP runtime state should not restart an unchanged, ready server or
relist its tools.
## What changed
- Reconcile refreshed MCP configuration against the published connection set
and reuse connections whose transport, environment, authentication, OAuth
credentials, and client capabilities are unchanged.
- Keep tool filters, timeouts, metadata, and plugin provenance in the published
server view so those settings can change without reconnecting.
- Update elicitation authority in place for reused connections, and reconnect
when connection-defining inputs or live OAuth credentials change.
## Testing
Added coverage for unchanged-server reuse, view-only and elicitation-policy
updates, connection identity changes, OAuth credential changes, and avoiding
redundant tool listing.
GitOrigin-RevId: f04f5db5fbdde127b6a14f6aa9673112c0b557e7
## What changed
- Make `McpRuntime` own the published MCP configuration, connections, elicitation routing, and selected capability roots for a thread.
- Capture immutable MCP bindings for model steps and tool calls so in-flight work keeps a consistent connection set and approval authority while refreshed state is published atomically.
- Mark MCP state dirty when relevant configuration, plugins, environments, authentication, or elicitation capabilities change, then rebuild it before the next sampling request or out-of-band MCP operation.
- Separate config reloads from server invalidation: `ReloadMcpConfig` applies resolved MCP inputs, while `RefreshMcpServers` requests reinitialization from the thread's latest state.
## Testing
- Cover refreshed state visibility for existing turns, stable step bindings, current approval authority, cancelled refresh retries, resource-client reconciliation, and Apps recovery between sampling requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 59eabb1aa8dc083426bd18ef4d3630508f376401
## What changed
- Use `McpConnectionSet` as the primary name for the collection of active MCP
server connections throughout `codex-mcp` and its callers.
- Keep `McpConnectionManager` as a backward-compatible type alias.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9753838b4fd0a0b6429a9c4af0c077137616f388
## What changed
- Make the MCP connection manager's event sender optional.
- Skip startup notifications when a caller has no session event stream.
- Decline interactive MCP elicitations in that mode while allowing the
underlying operation to continue.
- Update threadless resource reads, status snapshots, and connector discovery
to use the channel-free path.
## Testing
- Extend the app-server MCP resource test to verify that a threadless resource
read declines an elicitation and still returns the resource contents.
GitOrigin-RevId: 65fea152adbc02a78e09a40cae4134b6dccffd34
## What changed
- Add `app/installed` to return each connector observed in the committed runtime tool snapshot, including its runtime name and effective `enabled` and `callable` state.
- Support evaluating thread-specific configuration with `threadId` and refreshing the hosted connector tool snapshot with `forceRefresh`.
- Preserve observed connector identities as disabled when global or workspace policy disables Apps, and retain the previous snapshot when a refresh fails.
## Testing
- Cover cached and forced reads, policy and configuration filtering, thread-specific configuration, snapshot refresh failures, and protocol serialization.
