## What changed
- Add a Guardian circuit-breaker policy for models whose catalog specialty is
`cyber`.
- Interrupt those models after the first Guardian denial while retaining the
existing denial thresholds for other models.
- Centralize the `cyber` model-specialty identifier for use across core,
protocol, app-server, and TUI code.
## Testing
- Cover the cyber-specific threshold in the circuit-breaker unit tests.
- Verify end to end that a denied command is not executed and the turn is
interrupted after one denial.

## What changed
- Propagate the optional `modelSpecialty` field through the model catalog and
app-server `model/list` response.
- When a newly selected model has the `cyber` specialty, default an active TUI
thread to workspace-write permissions with on-request approval. Use auto
review when available, otherwise keep the user as reviewer, while respecting
configured permission requirements.
- Show a notice when auto review is applied and strengthen the full-access
warning for cyber models.
- Preserve explicitly selected permissions when only reasoning settings change.
## Testing
- Cover auto-review defaults, requirement-aware fallback behavior, permission
preservation across reasoning changes, and the new warning notice.

## Why
`Max` and `Ultra` consume usage limits faster than standard reasoning levels, so they should not be selected accidentally while navigating the normal effort scale.
## What changed
- Move `Max` and `Ultra` behind a `More reasoning…` entry with a dedicated warning and descriptions.
- Keep the reasoning shortcuts from silently increasing into advanced efforts.
- Apply `Ultra` to the active conversation without changing defaults for new threads, while preserving it across mode switches and thread resumes.
- Record applied thread settings in thread metadata, including explicit clearing of reasoning effort, so resumed threads restore their latest model settings unless the user supplied an override.
## Testing
- Add TUI coverage for the advanced picker, shortcuts, Plan mode, configuration defaults, and resumed conversations.
- Add app-server and thread-store coverage for persisting, clearing, and restoring model and reasoning settings.

## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Why
Once a named permission profile is selected, runtime state has to keep
that profile identity intact instead of collapsing back to anonymous
effective permissions. The session refresh path also needs to rebuild
profile-derived network proxy state so active profile switches take
effect consistently.
## What changed
- Preserve the active permission profile through session updates.
- Rebuild profile-derived runtime/network configuration when the active
profile changes.
- Keep the runtime path aligned with the current session configuration
APIs.
- Tighten the affected tests, including the Windows delete-pending
memory-file case that was intermittently tripping CI.
## Stack
1. **This PR**: runtime/session/network propagation for active
permission profiles.
2. [#23708](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23708): TUI selection
plumbing and guardrail flow.
3. [#21559](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21559): profile-aware
`/permissions` menu and custom profile display.

Builds on #23502.
## Why
#23502 adds the app-server `thread/settings/update` API and matching
`thread/settings/updated` notification. The TUI already lets users
change thread-scoped settings such as model, reasoning effort, service
tier, approvals, permissions, personality, and collaboration mode, but
those updates need to flow through the app server so embedded and
connected clients observe the same thread state.
This is a rework (simplification) of PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22510. It has the same
functionality, but the underlying `thread/settings/update` api is now
simpler in that it no longer returns the effective settings as a
response. Now, clients receive the effective settings only through the
`thread/settings/updated` notification.
## What Changed
This updates the TUI to send `thread/settings/update` whenever those
thread-scoped settings change and to treat the RPC response as the
authoritative acknowledgement. It also routes `thread/settings/updated`
notifications back into cached session state and the visible chat widget
so active and inactive threads stay in sync after app-server-originated
changes.
The implementation is kept to the TUI layer: settings conversion and
merge logic live under `codex-rs/tui/src/app/thread_settings.rs`, with
dispatch/routing hooks in the existing app and chat widget paths.
## Verification
I manually tested using `codex app-server --listen unix://` and then
launching two copies of the TUI that use the same local app server. I
then resumed the same thread on both and verified that changes like plan
mode, fast mode, model, reasoning effort, etc. are reflected "live" in
the second client when modified in the first and vice versa.
