## Summary
Some background. We're looking to instrument GA turns end to end. Right
now a big gap is grouping mcp tool calls with their codex sessions. We
send session id and turn id headers to the responses call but not the
mcp/wham calls.
Ideally we could pass the args as headers like with responses, but given
the setup of the rmcp client, we can't send as headers without either
changing the rmcp package upstream to allow per request headers or
introducing a mutex which break concurrency. An earlier attempt made the
assumption that we had 1 client per thread, which allowed us to set
headers at the start of a turn. @pakrym mentioned that this assumption
might break in the near future.
So the solution now is to package the turn metadata/session id into the
_meta field in the post body and pull out in codex-backend.
- send turn metadata to MCP servers via `tools/call` `_meta` instead of
assuming per-thread request headers on shared clients
- preserve the existing `_codex_apps` metadata while adding
`x-codex-turn-metadata` for all MCP tool calls
- extend tests to cover both custom MCP servers and the codex apps

## Summary
Persist Stop-hook continuation prompts as `user` messages instead of
hidden `developer` messages + some requested integration tests
This is a followup to @pakrym 's comment in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14532 to make sure stop-block
continuation prompts match training for turn loops
- Stop continuation now writes `<hook_prompt hook_run_id="...">stop
hook's user prompt<hook_prompt>`
- Introduces quick-xml dependency, though we already indirectly depended
on it anyway via syntect
- This PR only has about 500 lines of actual logic changes, the rest is
tests/schema
## Testing
Example run (with a sessionstart hook and 3 stop hooks) - this shows
context added by session start, then two stop hooks sending their own
additional prompts in a new turn. The model responds with a single
message addressing both. Then when that turn ends, the hooks detect that
they just ran using `stop_hook_active` and decide not to infinite loop
test files for this (unzip, move codex -> .codex):

The idea is that codex-exec exposes an Environment struct with services
on it. Each of those is a trait.
Depending on construction parameters passed to Environment they are
either backed by local or remote server but core doesn't see these
differences.

## Summary
If a subagent requests approval, and the user persists that approval to
the execpolicy, it should (by default) propagate. We'll need to rethink
this a bit in light of coming Permissions changes, though I think this
is closer to the end state that we'd want, which is that execpolicy
changes to one permissions profile should be synced across threads.

- this allows blocking the user's prompts from executing, and also
prevents them from entering history
- handles the edge case where you can both prevent the user's prompt AND
add n amount of additionalContexts
- refactors some old code into common.rs where hooks overlap
functionality
- refactors additionalContext being previously added to user messages,
instead we use developer messages for them
- handles queued messages correctly

Adds an environment crate and environment + file system abstraction.
Environment is a combination of attributes and services specific to
environment the agent is connected to:
File system, process management, OS, default shell.
The goal is to move most of agent logic that assumes environment to work
through the environment abstraction.

###### Summary
- Adds auth-env telemetry that records whether key auth-related env
overrides were present on session start and request paths.
- Threads those auth-env fields through `/responses`, websocket, and
`/models` telemetry and feedback metadata.
- Buckets custom provider `env_key` configuration to a safe
`"configured"` value instead of emitting raw config text.
- Keeps the slice observability-only: no raw token values or raw URLs
are emitted.
###### Rationale (from spec findings)
- 401 and auth-path debugging needs a way to distinguish env-driven auth
paths from sessions with no auth env override.
- Startup and model-refresh failures need the same auth-env diagnostics
as normal request failures.
- Feedback and Sentry tags need the same auth-env signal as OTel events
so reports can be triaged consistently.
- Custom provider config is user-controlled text, so the telemetry
contract must stay presence-only / bucketed.
###### Scope
- Adds a small `AuthEnvTelemetry` bundle for env presence collection and
threads it through the main request/session telemetry paths.
- Does not add endpoint/base-url/provider-header/geo routing attribution
or broader telemetry API redesign.
###### Trade-offs
- `provider_env_key_name` is bucketed to `"configured"` instead of
preserving the literal configured env var name.
- `/models` is included because startup/model-refresh auth failures need
the same diagnostics, but broader parity work remains out of scope.
- This slice keeps the existing telemetry APIs and layers auth-env
fields onto them rather than redesigning the metadata model.
###### Client follow-up
- Add the separate endpoint/base-url attribution slice if routing-source
diagnosis is still needed.
- Add provider-header or residency attribution only if auth-env presence
proves insufficient in real reports.
- Revisit whether any additional auth-related env inputs need safe
bucketing after more 401 triage data.

## What is flaky
The Windows shell-driven integration tests in `codex-rs/core` were
intermittently unstable, especially:
- `apply_patch_cli_can_use_shell_command_output_as_patch_input`
- `websocket_test_codex_shell_chain`
- `websocket_v2_test_codex_shell_chain`
## Why it was flaky
These tests were exercising real shell-tool flows through whichever
shell Codex selected on Windows, and the `apply_patch` test also nested
a PowerShell read inside `cmd /c`.
There were multiple independent sources of nondeterminism in that setup:
- The test harness depended on the model-selected Windows shell instead
of pinning the shell it actually meant to exercise.
- `cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -Command "..."` is quoting-sensitive; on CI
that could leave the read command wrapped as a literal string instead of
executing it.
- Even after getting the quoting right, PowerShell could emit CLIXML
progress records like module-initialization output onto stdout.
- The `apply_patch` test was building a patch directly from shell
stdout, so any quoting artifact or progress noise corrupted the patch
input.
So the failures were driven by shell startup and output-shape variance,
not by the `apply_patch` or websocket logic themselves.
## How this PR fixes it
- Add a test-only `user_shell_override` path so Windows integration
tests can pin `cmd.exe` explicitly.
- Use that override in the websocket shell-chain tests and in the
`apply_patch` harness.
- Change the nested Windows file read in
`apply_patch_cli_can_use_shell_command_output_as_patch_input` to a UTF-8
PowerShell `-EncodedCommand` script.
- Run that nested PowerShell process with `-NonInteractive`, set
`$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'`, and read the file with
`[System.IO.File]::ReadAllText(...)`.
## Why this fix fixes the flakiness
The outer harness now runs under a deterministic shell, and the inner
PowerShell read no longer depends on fragile `cmd` quoting or on
progress output staying quiet by accident. The shell tool returns only
the file contents, so patch construction and websocket assertions depend
on stable test inputs instead of on runner-specific shell behavior.

It now supports:
- Connectors that are from installed and enabled plugins that are not
installed yet
- Plugins that are on the allowlist that are not installed yet.
## Description
This PR fixes a bad first-turn failure mode in app-server when the
startup websocket prewarm hangs. Before this change, `initialize ->
thread/start -> turn/start` could sit behind the prewarm for up to five
minutes, so the client would not see `turn/started`, and even
`turn/interrupt` would block because the turn had not actually started
yet.
Now, we:
- set a (configurable) timeout of 15s for websocket startup time,
exposed as `websocket_startup_timeout_ms` in config.toml
- `turn/started` is sent immediately on `turn/start` even if the
websocket is still connecting
- `turn/interrupt` can be used to cancel a turn that is still waiting on
the websocket warmup
- the turn task will wait for the full 15s websocket warming timeout
before falling back
## Why
The old behavior made app-server feel stuck at exactly the moment the
client expects turn lifecycle events to start flowing. That was
especially painful for external clients, because from their point of
view the server had accepted the request but then went silent for
minutes.
## Configuring the websocket startup timeout
Can set it in config.toml like this:
```
[model_providers.openai]
supports_websockets = true
websocket_connect_timeout_ms = 15000
```
## Stack Position
2/4. Built on top of #14828.
## Base
- #14828
## Unblocks
- #14829
- #14827
## Scope
- Port the realtime v2 wire parsing, session, app-server, and
conversation runtime behavior onto the split websocket-method base.
- Branch runtime behavior directly on the current realtime session kind
instead of parser-derived flow flags.
- Keep regression coverage in the existing e2e suites.

## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

* #14651
Fix https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/14161
This fixes sub-agent [[skills.config]] overrides being ignored when
parent and child share the same cwd. The root cause was that turn skill
loading rebuilt from cwd-only state and reused a cwd-scoped cache, so
role-local skill enable/disable overrides did not reliably affect the
spawned agent's effective skill set.
This change switches turn construction to use the effective per-turn
config and adds a config-aware skills cache keyed by skill roots plus
final disabled paths.
## Summary
- reuse a guardian subagent session across approvals so reviews keep a
stable prompt cache key and avoid one-shot startup overhead
- clear the guardian child history before each review so prior guardian
decisions do not leak into later approvals
- include the `smart_approvals` -> `guardian_approval` feature flag
rename in the same PR to minimize release latency on a very tight
timeline
- add regression coverage for prompt-cache-key reuse without
prior-review prompt bleed
## Request
- Bug/enhancement request: internal guardian prompt-cache and latency
improvement request

- [x] Bypass tool search and stuff tool specs directly into model
context when either a. Tool search is not available for the model or b.
There are not that many tools to search for.
This extends dynamic_tool_calls to allow us to hide a tool from the
model context but still use it as part of the general tool calling
runtime (for ex from js_repl/code_mode)
Move the general `Apps`, `Skills` and `Plugins` instructions blocks out
of `user_instructions` and into the developer message, with new `Apps ->
Skills -> Plugins` order for better clarity.
Also wrap those sections in stable XML-style instruction tags (like
other sections) and update prompt-layout tests/snapshots. This makes the
tests less brittle in snapshot output (we can parse the sections), and
it consolidates the capability instructions in one place.
#### Tests
Updated snapshots, added tests.
`<AGENTS_MD>` disappearing in snapshots is expected: before this change,
the wrapped user-instructions message was kept alive by `Skills`
content. Now that `Skills` and `Plugins` are in the developer message,
that wrapper only appears when there is real
project-doc/user-instructions content.

## Summary
- apply persisted execpolicy network rules when booting the managed
network proxy
- pass the current execpolicy into managed proxy startup so host
approvals selected with "allow this host in the future" survive new
sessions
## Summary
- reuse rollout reconstruction when applying a backtrack rollback so
`reference_context_item` is restored from persisted rollout state
- build rollback replay from the flushed rollout items plus the rollback
marker, avoiding the extra reread/fallback path
- add regression coverage for rollback after compaction so turn-context
diffing stays aligned after backtracking

## Why
The unified-exec path was carrying zsh-fork state in a partially
flattened way.
First, the decision about whether zsh-fork was active came from feature
selection in `ToolsConfig`, while the real prerequisites lived in
session state. That left the handler and runtime defending against
partially configured cases later.
Second, once zsh-fork was active, its two runtime-only paths were
threaded through the runtime as separate arguments even though they form
one coherent piece of configuration.
This change keeps unified-exec on a single session-derived source of
truth and bundles the zsh-fork-specific paths into a named config type
so the runtime can pass them around as one unit.
In particular, this PR introduces this enum so the `ZshFork` variant can
carry the appropriate state with it:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub enum UnifiedExecShellMode {
Direct,
ZshFork(ZshForkConfig),
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub struct ZshForkConfig {
pub(crate) shell_zsh_path: AbsolutePathBuf,
pub(crate) main_execve_wrapper_exe: AbsolutePathBuf,
}
```
This cleanup was done in preparation for
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13432.
## What Changed
- Replaced the feature-only `UnifiedExecBackendConfig` split with
`UnifiedExecShellMode` in `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec.rs`.
- Derived the unified-exec mode from session-backed inputs when building
turn `ToolsConfig`, and preserved that mode across model switches and
review turns.
- Introduced `ZshForkConfig`, which stores the resolved zsh-fork
`AbsolutePathBuf` values for the configured `zsh` binary and `execve`
wrapper.
- Threaded `ZshForkConfig` through unified-exec command construction and
the zsh-fork preparation path so zsh-fork-specific runtime code consumes
a single config object instead of separate path arguments.
- Added focused tests for constructing zsh-fork mode only when session
prerequisites are available, and updated the zsh-fork expectations to be
target-platform aware.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core zsh_fork --lib`

Stop hooks now receive `stop_hook_active` and enable stop hooks to loop
forever if they'd like to. In the initial hooks PR, we implemented a
simpler mechanic that the stop-blocking could only happen once in a row
- support stop hook adding a continuation prompt to add a further task
- if multiple stop-blocks happen that have continuation prompts, they
are concatenated

## Summary
- add `approvals_reviewer = "user" | "guardian_subagent"` as the runtime
control for who reviews approval requests
- route Smart Approvals guardian review through core for command
execution, file changes, managed-network approvals, MCP approvals, and
delegated/subagent approval flows
- expose guardian review in app-server with temporary unstable
`item/autoApprovalReview/{started,completed}` notifications carrying
`targetItemId`, `review`, and `action`
- update the TUI so Smart Approvals can be enabled from `/experimental`,
aligned with the matching `/approvals` mode, and surfaced clearly while
reviews are pending or resolved
## Runtime model
This PR does not introduce a new `approval_policy`.
Instead:
- `approval_policy` still controls when approval is needed
- `approvals_reviewer` controls who reviewable approval requests are
routed to:
- `user`
- `guardian_subagent`
`guardian_subagent` is a carefully prompted reviewer subagent that
gathers relevant context and applies a risk-based decision framework
before approving or denying the request.
The `smart_approvals` feature flag is a rollout/UI gate. Core runtime
behavior keys off `approvals_reviewer`.
When Smart Approvals is enabled from the TUI, it also switches the
current `/approvals` settings to the matching Smart Approvals mode so
users immediately see guardian review in the active thread:
- `approval_policy = on-request`
- `approvals_reviewer = guardian_subagent`
- `sandbox_mode = workspace-write`
Users can still change `/approvals` afterward.
Config-load behavior stays intentionally narrow:
- plain `smart_approvals = true` in `config.toml` remains just the
rollout/UI gate and does not auto-set `approvals_reviewer`
- the deprecated `guardian_approval = true` alias migration does
backfill `approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"` in the same scope
when that reviewer is not already configured there, so old configs
preserve their original guardian-enabled behavior
ARC remains a separate safety check. For MCP tool approvals, ARC
escalations now flow into the configured reviewer instead of always
bypassing guardian and forcing manual review.
## Config stability
The runtime reviewer override is stable, but the config-backed
app-server protocol shape is still settling.
- `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `turn/start` keep stable
`approvalsReviewer` overrides
- the config-backed `approvals_reviewer` exposure returned via
`config/read` (including profile-level config) is now marked
`[UNSTABLE]` / experimental in the app-server protocol until we are more
confident in that config surface
## App-server surface
This PR intentionally keeps the guardian app-server shape narrow and
temporary.
It adds generic unstable lifecycle notifications:
- `item/autoApprovalReview/started`
- `item/autoApprovalReview/completed`
with payloads of the form:
- `{ threadId, turnId, targetItemId, review, action? }`
`review` is currently:
- `{ status, riskScore?, riskLevel?, rationale? }`
- where `status` is one of `inProgress`, `approved`, `denied`, or
`aborted`
`action` carries the guardian action summary payload from core when
available. This lets clients render temporary standalone pending-review
UI, including parallel reviews, even when the underlying tool item has
not been emitted yet.
These notifications are explicitly documented as `[UNSTABLE]` and
expected to change soon.
This PR does **not** persist guardian review state onto `thread/read`
tool items. The intended follow-up is to attach guardian review state to
the reviewed tool item lifecycle instead, which would improve
consistency with manual approvals and allow thread history / reconnect
flows to replay guardian review state directly.
## TUI behavior
- `/experimental` exposes the rollout gate as `Smart Approvals`
- enabling it in the TUI enables the feature and switches the current
session to the matching Smart Approvals `/approvals` mode
- disabling it in the TUI clears the persisted `approvals_reviewer`
override when appropriate and returns the session to default manual
review when the effective reviewer changes
- `/approvals` still exposes the reviewer choice directly
- the TUI renders:
- pending guardian review state in the live status footer, including
parallel review aggregation
- resolved approval/denial state in history
## Scope notes
This PR includes the supporting core/runtime work needed to make Smart
Approvals usable end-to-end:
- shell / unified-exec / apply_patch / managed-network / MCP guardian
review
- delegated/subagent approval routing into guardian review
- guardian review risk metadata and action summaries for app-server/TUI
- config/profile/TUI handling for `smart_approvals`, `guardian_approval`
alias migration, and `approvals_reviewer`
- a small internal cleanup of delegated approval forwarding to dedupe
fallback paths and simplify guardian-vs-parent approval waiting (no
intended behavior change)
Out of scope for this PR:
- redesigning the existing manual approval protocol shapes
- persisting guardian review state onto app-server `ThreadItem`s
- delegated MCP elicitation auto-review (the current delegated MCP
guardian shim only covers the legacy `RequestUserInput` path)

Summary
- add the code_mode_only feature flag/config schema and wire its
dependency on code_mode
- update code mode tool descriptions to list nested tools with detailed
headers
- restrict available tools for prompt and exec descriptions when
code_mode_only is enabled and test the behavior
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Description
This PR expands tracing coverage across app-server thread startup, core
session initialization, and the Responses transport layer. It also gives
core dispatch spans stable operation-specific names so traces are easier
to follow than the old generic `submission_dispatch` spans.
Also use `fmt::Display` for types that we serialize in traces so we send
strings instead of rust types
## Summary
- create the turn-scoped `ToolCallRuntime` before starting the code mode
worker so the worker reuses the same runtime and router
- thread the shared runtime through the code mode service/worker path
and use it for nested tool calls
- model aborted tool calls as a concrete `ToolOutput` so aborted
responses still produce valid tool output shapes
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (still running locally)
as reported in https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/14367 users can
explicitly enable unified_exec which will bypass the sandbox even when
it should be enabled.
Until we support unified_exec with the Windows Sandbox, we will disallow
it unless the sandbox is disabled
## Summary
- start a code mode worker once per turn and let it pump nested tool
calls through a dedicated queue
- simplify code mode request/response dispatch around request ids and
generic runner-unavailable errors
- clean up the code mode process API and runner protocol plumbing
## Testing
- not run yet
## Summary
- address the follow-up review nits from #13996 in a separate PR
- make the approvals test command a raw string and keep the
managed-network path using env proxy routing
- inline `--apply-seccomp-then-exec` in the Linux sandbox inner command
builder
- remove the bubblewrap-specific sandbox metric tag path and drop the
`use_legacy_landlock` shim from `sandbox_tag`/`TurnMetadataState::new`
- restore the `Feature` import that `origin/main` currently still needs
in `connectors.rs`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox`
- focused `codex-core` tests were rerun/started, but the final
verification pass was interrupted when I pushed at request
## Summary
- make bubblewrap the default Linux sandbox and keep
`use_legacy_landlock` as the only override
- remove `use_linux_sandbox_bwrap` from feature, config, schema, and
docs surfaces
- update Linux sandbox selection, CLI/config plumbing, and related
tests/docs to match the new default
- fold in the follow-up CI fixes for request-permissions responses and
Linux read-only sandbox error text
## Summary
- persist the code mode runner process in the session-scoped code mode
store
- switch the runner protocol from `init` to `start` with explicit
session ids
- handle runner-side session processing without the init waiter queue
## Validation
- just fmt
- cargo check -p codex-core
- node --check codex-rs/core/src/tools/code_mode_runner.cjs
## Summary
This PR keeps app-server RPC request trace context alive for the full
lifetime of the work that request kicks off (e.g. for `thread/start`,
this is `app-server rpc handler -> tokio background task -> core op
submissions`). Previously we lose trace lineage once the request handler
returns or hands work off to background tasks.
This approach is especially relevant for `thread/start` and other RPC
handlers that run in a non-blocking way. In the near future we'll most
likely want to make all app-server handlers run in a non-blocking way by
default, and only queue operations that must operate in order (e.g.
thread RPCs per thread?), so we want to make sure tracing in app-server
just generally works.
Depends on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14300

## What changed
- Keep request-scoped trace context around until we send the final
response or error, or the connection closes.
- Thread that trace context through detached `thread/start` work so
background startup stays attached to the originating request.
- Pass request trace context through to downstream core operations,
including:
- thread creation
- resume/fork flows
- turn submission
- review
- interrupt
- realtime conversation operations
- Add tracing tests that verify:
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `thread/start`
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `turn/start`
- downstream core spans stay under the originating request span
- request-scoped tracing state is cleaned up correctly
- Clean up shutdown behavior so detached background tasks and spawned
threads are drained before process exit.
## Why
to support a new bring your own search tool in Responses
API(https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-tool-search#client-executed-tool-search)
we migrating our bm25 search tool to use official way to execute search
on client and communicate additional tools to the model.
## What
- replace the legacy `search_tool_bm25` flow with client-executed
`tool_search`
- add protocol, SSE, history, and normalization support for
`tool_search_call` and `tool_search_output`
- return namespaced Codex Apps search results and wire namespaced
follow-up tool calls back into MCP dispatch
