## Why
Long descriptions could exhaust the 4 KiB tool summary budget and hide later namespace names, limiting their visibility for tool discovery.
## What changed
- Reserve space for all namespace names before sharing the remaining budget across descriptions, including added and removed groups.
- Truncate descriptions at UTF-8 boundaries with `...`, including at the existing 250-character cap. Omit whole namespaces only when names alone exceed the budget, reserving omission notices only in that case.
- Render namespace names and descriptions without XML escaping.
## Testing
Add unit and snapshot coverage for description allocation, Unicode boundaries, namespace omissions, and empty-state notices. Add a scenario verifying that a crowded catalog retains every namespace name, allows discovery of a late namespace with its full description, and keeps the summary unchanged on follow-up.

## Why
Private IP destinations always bypassed inherited upstream proxies, preventing their use for private networks reachable through an upstream VPN proxy.
## What changed
- Add `codex exec-server --proxy-private-ips-via-upstream`, also configurable with `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_PROXY_PRIVATE_IPS_VIA_UPSTREAM=true`. The setting defaults to disabled.
- Allow permitted RFC 1918, carrier-grade NAT, and IPv6 unique-local destinations to use an applicable upstream proxy. Loopback and link-local destinations retain direct routing, and destination access policy still applies.
- Keep connections direct when no valid upstream proxy applies or `allow_upstream_proxy=false`. Errors after selecting an upstream proxy do not trigger a direct retry.
- Rename `ExecServerRuntimePaths` to `ExecServerRuntimeOptions` and carry the routing setting from executor startup into the managed network proxy.
## Testing
Add routing coverage for private address ranges, special-use addresses, and public targets with the option enabled and disabled. Verify that HTTP and CONNECT requests still enforce destination allowlists and denylists, and update the CLI help snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: b7c9cc7da0e0f545694a6521b74c9b36b7b92769
## Why
Steering an active WebSocket response previously dropped the connection and
resent the full history. Draining the response preserves the connection and
allows the follow-up request to continue with `previous_response_id`.
## What changed
- Drain WebSocket responses when steering. For models using
`use_responses_lite`, first send `response.interrupt` with
`mode: "discard_partial_items"` once the response ID is available.
- Treat `response.incomplete` with reason `interrupted` as completion with
`end_turn: false`, preserving token usage and allowing the turn to continue.
Other incomplete reasons remain errors.
## Testing
Update the steering integration test to cover completed and discarded reasoning
items, asserting connection reuse, incremental follow-up input, and token usage
from the interrupted response.
GitOrigin-RevId: bc714b713e797cf1a67e3b26ffbf7664cb92eb33
## Why
Changes in executor availability can alter cloud skill catalog rendering under a shared budget and repeat an unchanged executor catalog when it reconnects.
## What changed
- Cap cloud skills at three quarters of the metadata budget initially, leaving the remaining budget and unused cloud allowance for filesystem skills. Reduce the cloud cap only when doing so allows all skill entries to fit; description truncation alone does not trigger rebalancing.
- Persist the allocation across disconnects, compaction, and thread resume. Recompute it when the cloud inventory or total budget changes.
- Emit a short availability update when an unchanged selected-environment catalog returns and its full text remains in history. Reinject the full catalog when that text is missing.
## Testing
Add coverage for allocation stability, catalog and budget changes, omission handling, and full catalog reinjection after compaction and resume. Extend the selected capability stack test to verify reconnection avoids repeating the catalog.
GitOrigin-RevId: 839fe98024e00c4082a46e6a40675e15fd2c16c6
## Why
Destination-only filtering stripped raw tool result metadata and MCP attribution when the built-in OpenAI provider used a custom endpoint.
## What changed
Add a runtime-only `include_internal_metadata` grant to `ModelProviderInfo` and enable it for the built-in OpenAI provider. Apply the provider grant or the existing first-party HTTPS destination check to both HTTP and WebSocket Responses requests.
Keep the grant out of serialized configuration and schemas, and default it to false for providers received through remote configuration. Providers without the grant retain the existing destination filtering.
## Testing
Update HTTP and WebSocket tests to expect metadata at overridden OpenAI endpoints. Cover provider grants, destination filtering, MCP attribution on requests, and the grant's exclusion from TOML serialization and configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 53aad6fb4d52cdfa9c79c6d92fe87383e1d0d1ef
## Why
Detached Windows daemons can inherit the launcher's output pipes, leaving callers waiting for EOF after the launcher exits.
## What changed
Clear inheritance flags on the launcher's standard handles before spawning managed Windows processes. Leave the flags cleared to protect concurrent launches while preserving the child's configured stdio, and tolerate missing or already-closed handles.
## Testing
- Add a Windows regression test verifying that captured launcher output closes while the detached child remains alive and writes to its configured log.
- Give optional MCP startup grace tests more time to complete on slow runners while keeping the pending server's startup timeout longer than the turn timeout.
GitOrigin-RevId: 053e0417793db3c961e738476a05c7467978f339
## Why
Compaction using the previous model can inherit the current turn's access program, producing a model/program pair that the server rejects.
## What changed
- Persist `cyber_access_program` in previous-turn settings and restore it during rollout reconstruction.
- Use the previous turn's access program when compacting with its model, preserving an absent program instead of inheriting the current selection.
- Pass the selected access program into local compaction prompts.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for local and remote compaction after model switches, including resume, fork, rollback, and compaction checkpoints. Verify fallback and subsequent sampling use the current model/program pair, and API-key sessions do not inherit access-program authorization.
GitOrigin-RevId: eaa7162e8711446dc9eb1bfff194e711abd54d7e
## Why
When a nested code-mode call's recorded arguments were truncated and attached to an output before its result arrived, the recorder could no longer attach the result metadata to that call.
## What changed
Retain validated call bindings so late result metadata updates the original output across retries and subsequent waits. Keep truncated arguments and incomplete call inventories intact, and apply existing metadata budgets.
Invalidate late metadata bindings when duplicate IDs, reused cells, conflicting outputs, or changed call inventories make attribution ambiguous. Clear stale pending calls when a cell ID is reused, and avoid counting duplicate pending IDs against capacity more than once.
## Testing
Add recorder regression tests for late metadata across retries, compaction, waits, and cell closure, plus ambiguous bindings and budget limits. Add a code-mode integration test that delays a tool result until its truncated call has been recorded and verifies metadata remains attached to the original output across later waits.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7398beaaa1a513147deebdea7aa841513a79d06b
## Why
An execution environment's enabled proxy configuration was reduced to traffic restrictions, leaving restricted commands offline without a controller proxy or an approved network grant.
## What changed
Carry `NetworkProxyConfig.enabled` into `EnvironmentNetworkPolicy.requires_proxy` and honor it when activating managed networking. This lets environment owners require filtered proxy access while direct network access remains restricted. Policies without an explicit proxy requirement retain the existing activation behavior.
## Testing
Extend remote command coverage to check allowed and denied proxy requests without a controller proxy, and verify that direct network access remains blocked.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7cc0063a0d1118de56b1bd30036338cf14360f6a
## Why
AWS profiles can select credential helpers that the application executes. Granting write access to a containing directory should therefore keep `.aws` protected by default.
## What changed
Add `.aws` to the protected metadata paths alongside `.git`, `.agents`, and `.codex`, including workspace roots and additional writable roots. Preserve explicit user rules that override the default protection.
## Testing
Extend policy and sandbox tests to cover `.aws` protection. Add macOS coverage for existing and absent `.aws` directories, deletion and replacement attempts, and symlink targets. Verify that Linux sandbox writes to protected configuration files fail while sibling files remain writable.
GitOrigin-RevId: 31ea287bd0dd9b13aff893783fba9ca3aed0c89d
## Why
Complete assistant messages with empty text can produce misleading omitted-context notices in Guardian reviews.
## What changed
- Skip complete, empty assistant messages when recording and rendering retained context, while preserving omission notices for incomplete messages.
- Separate retained instruction fragments with blank lines and keep blank lines free of role prefixes, while labeling every nonempty line with its original role.
- Update source-order guidance detection and empty-section deduplication for the added spacing.
## Testing
Extend retained-context tests to cover empty completed messages across resume, restored empty messages, incomplete-message notices, blank-line spacing, and role labeling. Update Guardian prompt snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: e945717b18689fa4538d9b617b89a644858ab1c8
## Why
Cached executor MCP declarations must not gain access to host environment credentials when reconnecting to an executor that lacks environment credential resolution.
## What changed
- Retain credential policy through MCP registration, catalog materialization, and runtime setup. Derive selected HTTP plugin policy from the plugin's source environment.
- Reject host bearer-token fallback and transports requiring host environment headers or helpers for executor-owned declarations. Preserve host-configured credential resolution.
- Include credential policy in connection and tool catalog cache identities, and avoid reading host environment values for executor-only identities.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for legacy executors, cached declarations after a capability downgrade, policy preservation through catalog rebuilds, and connection and tool cache isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2d5b85e4e98668c637c538cbe528914c936bd831
## Why
With `instant_interrupt` enabled, new user input should reach the model without waiting for an unfinished response or stream retry backoff.
## What changed
- Interrupt request setup, response streaming, and retry backoff when user input arrives, then continue the turn with the queued input.
- Reset the WebSocket connection and continuation state after preemption so the next request sends full history.
- Drain pending input after a preempted step even when compaction leaves the estimated context above the token limit.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for WebSocket reconnection with full history, interrupted retry backoff, input queued during compaction, and yielding running code-mode calls. Add a streaming scenario that preserves completed commentary while excluding unfinished assistant text from the replacement request.
GitOrigin-RevId: b7e42b6afffbf87da15af05e0850af8579d1353f
## Why
User input queued during a long-running code-mode `exec` or `wait` can remain pending until the call returns. Allow these calls to yield early so Codex can receive the new input while the cell continues running.
## What changed
- Add the `instant_interrupt` feature flag, disabled by default.
- Watch queued user input for each sampling request and pass a shared preemption signal to code-mode `exec` and `wait` calls, including calls received later in the same response.
- Yield running cell IDs without stopping the cells, allowing subsequent `wait` calls to collect their results.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for enabled and disabled behavior, repeated steering during `exec` and `wait`, input deferred during compaction, and later calls in the same response. Verify that direct tool results and queued user messages are preserved, and add a scenario snapshot showing continuation after a cell yields.
GitOrigin-RevId: e33466a980d98e113bfb6c6a45c59de0cc7b3c1d
## Why
The worker's completion notice can interrupt the root's one-shot question response before the messaging call reaches its cancellation point in `guardian_subagent_review_preserves_late_root_user_authorization`.
## What changed
Gate the worker's initial response with a `oneshot` channel and a streaming SSE server. Release it after the root's question turn completes or its cancellation is observed, then wait for worker completion and shut down the server.
GitOrigin-RevId: d7f287557a7c27f1054c7ae90ba331ff26bba8ef
## Why
Local compaction flattened retained user messages into a single text part, losing their original content boundaries and per-part annotations.
## What changed
Preserve the original content parts and annotations for text-only user messages that fit within the token budget. Borrow the original messages until selected history entries are materialized, and rebuild only the text fallback for truncated messages or messages containing media.
## Testing
Extend unit coverage for text boundaries, empty parts, omitted media, and retained metadata. Update the compaction integration test to verify that a multipart user message survives unchanged in the next request and retains its content parts and annotations in persisted replacement history.
GitOrigin-RevId: 39d9df9ae5360506c2a4bdeac76d89198dbbd39c
## Why
Synchronous Guardian reviews can include the same user instruction in both the retained instructions section and the conversation transcript. Avoid this duplication while preserving complete authorization evidence and its original acceptance order.
## What changed
- Carry retained source metadata into transcript rendering. Omit a retained instruction when the transcript delivers its complete matching source revision.
- Label qualifying transcript entries with retained source order and protect them from budget truncation. Keep separate retained instructions when source metadata is missing or incomplete.
- Track delivery of source-order guidance so it remains available even when all retained instructions are delivered through the transcript. Invalidate that delivery proof when messages are shortened.
## Testing
Add coverage for complete-source deduplication, missing or incomplete metadata, budget protection, guidance redelivery, and source metadata preservation across resume. Update Guardian review assertions and snapshots to verify instructions are delivered once.
GitOrigin-RevId: 20ad0304501fa49f1596c4cfaf3ef89d64815753
## Why
Legacy shell snapshots could retain exports excluded by `shell_environment_policy` and restore captured values over explicit overrides when replayed.
## What changed
- Build snapshots with the resolved environment's policy and omit filtered exports and original values for variables overridden by `set`.
- Skip eager snapshot creation when configuration is unavailable, and reject snapshots whose policy differs from the current turn's policy.
## Testing
Add a regression test covering default and custom exclusions, `include_only`, preservation of multiline values, and `set` overrides that survive snapshot replay. Verify excluded and overridden captured values are absent from the snapshot file.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4b785130f6c5a4d268ab86fd36ab9d77d8c4a3b9
## Why
User messages could fill the root context limit before assistant questions were considered, while commentary could displace relevant conversational context. Guardian needs that context to interpret user authorization when reviewing subagent actions.
## What changed
- Select recent user and assistant evidence together under a shared message limit, discarding assistants with unknown ordering first.
- Exclude explicit assistant commentary and retain message phases across compaction. For older retained records, check available source messages for commentary phases.
- Mark missing instructions or assistant context when the shared limit removes corresponding evidence, and use remaining space for legacy instructions.
## Testing
Update Guardian authorization tests to cover shared message limits, commentary filtering across compaction and resume, and preservation of ordered replies when legacy assistant context has unknown ordering.
GitOrigin-RevId: c369a2760917cba9d7dfca37fb5e85a7ec49012f
## Why
Runtime filesystem grants, such as those used for plugin metrics, could trigger unnecessary approval for `write_stdin` and prevent input when sandbox approval was disabled.
## What changed
Include retained runtime grants in the baseline permission comparison for stdin review. Continue requiring review for additional agent permissions, sandbox bypasses, and policy changes. Update the approval description to report current permissions when only runtime grants are present.
## Testing
Extend unit coverage to ensure runtime grants do not require review or mask agent filesystem and network grants, and that sandbox bypasses still require review. Add local and remote plugin regression cases that send stdin and verify metric emission with sandbox approval disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 989098bdc7fbf839786c01f11cbf02999bae1cc1
## What changed
Return post metadata from the in-memory message board after updating board state when no notification recipients remain. This avoids constructing an unused notification preview, including when the author is the only requested recipient.
## Testing
Run the existing post-and-search model-context scenario against both disk and in-memory message boards, checking that post metadata and search results reach the model without self-notifications.
GitOrigin-RevId: dcf07a5fd55738fbcd6edd3dce3f6fb8fc910eaf
## Why
The network command can yield before its request reaches Guardian, allowing a parent request to consume the mock response intended for Guardian.
## What changed
Update `guardian_receives_exact_trigger_for_single_network_request` to match parent and Guardian requests separately. Have the parent poll running processes with `write_stdin` until they exit, and bound the wait for turn completion to 30 seconds. Preserve the assertion that Guardian receives exactly the original call ID and command.
GitOrigin-RevId: f39e9461c3628fbab00ba241f828d318b17975b5
## Why
Reused Guardian sessions already contain previously delivered instructions. Follow-up reviews can avoid repeating that evidence, but must deliver it again if it changes or compaction removes it.
## What changed
- Track retained source identity, revision, and completeness in host-owned history metadata, preserving revisions during replay.
- Omit retained instructions from synchronous review inputs only when the same complete revision remains in reviewer history.
- Restore missing evidence after reviewer compaction, enforcing the request budget before persisting additions. Classify restored evidence as context rather than new user authorization.
- Keep source-order labels stable across eviction and retain full delivery for legacy records without reliable provenance.
## Testing
Add coverage for consecutive-review deduplication, changed revisions, missing or incomplete metadata, and restoring compacted evidence exactly once. Extend compaction and resume coverage to verify retained revisions.
GitOrigin-RevId: e90fca16cde0a0970da36dd873af2ca1dbaaf4d3
## Why
When a container denies fresh `/proc` mounts, the existing sandbox fallback retains the caller's `/proc` while creating a new PID namespace. Process IDs inside the sandbox can then differ from those exposed by `/proc`, breaking process lookups.
## What changed
- Add `codex exec-server --linux-sandbox-pid-namespace=inherit` to reuse the caller's PID namespace and `/proc` for both process and filesystem helpers. Repository config and command environment variables cannot enable it.
- Keep `isolate` as the default, preserving the existing mount fallback and compatibility with older helpers. Inheritance requires an updated helper and omits `--unshare-pid` and `--as-pid-1`.
- Preserve other sandbox restrictions. With `:minimal`, bind the inherited `/proc` read-only with its container masks and apply explicit filesystem denials afterward.
Inheritance is intended for dedicated environments: it allows sandboxed commands to signal other same-UID processes, including the executor.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for namespace flags, denied proc mounts, consistent process IDs, retained sandbox restrictions, and startup-only selection across process and filesystem helpers.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd13f2b9286d7edcf366b3a42a455f4d78daaf27
## Why
Refreshing the MCP catalog with unchanged tool metadata recreated handlers and forced the tool search index to rebuild.
## What changed
Cache handlers by canonical tool name and reuse them when tool metadata, agent plugin status, and the input schema size limit are unchanged. Replace handlers when those inputs change and evict tools removed from the catalog, preserving search index reuse across equivalent bindings.
## Testing
Extend the deferred tool world state test to verify that an unchanged catalog refresh captures a new binding without rebuilding the search index, and that removing all deferred tools stops advertising `tool_search`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 150866f635e9ee817d7ca44fb76e724a3f7608a5
## Why
`active_turn_environment_selections()` returns the selections captured at turn start, so it does not reflect later environment settings updates.
## What changed
Add `CodexThread::current_turn_environment_selections(expected_turn_id)` to read the running turn's current selections, including environments that are still starting or have failed. Return `None` when the requested turn is no longer active or has been cancelled.
## Testing
Add a regression test covering selection updates, mismatched turn IDs, and completed turns, while verifying that the initial selection snapshot remains unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: bb526a686d549209142150ffde99ad1444add205
## What changed
- Recognize `flex_unavailable` in HTTP 429 responses and streamed `error` and `response.failed` events. End normal turns without retries and report `Flex capacity unavailable.`
- Expose `flexUnavailable` through the core and app-server protocols and generated schemas and SDK types.
- Keep Flex capacity failures eligible for Guardian review and sampler retries, with a distinct telemetry classification.
- Map unexpected HTTP responses to `HttpConnectionFailed`, preserving their status codes.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for terminal Flex failures over HTTP, SSE, and WebSocket, HTTP 504 status preservation after a stream retry, and protocol serialization. Update Guardian retry and sampler recovery tests to cover Flex failures.
GitOrigin-RevId: f2e03a6d2d36a6d9748c35952e40397f8670d121
## Why
Removing tool-result metadata alone can leave requests above the 15 MiB message budget when recorded tool calls and arguments occupy the remaining space. If trimming loses calls or arguments from a Code Mode cell, later waits must not report its call inventory as complete.
## What changed
- Bound all optional tool-call observations against the serialized HTTP or WebSocket message size, preserving ordinary tool outputs and continuation history.
- Shed generic result metadata, sources, and recorded arguments before resource-access evidence, retaining tool names and smaller metadata where possible.
- Invalidate completeness across affected cell outputs and later waits when the outgoing copy loses calls or arguments.
- Preserve size-limit omission markers for direct tool-result metadata when they fit, while continuing to exclude that metadata from custom providers.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for HTTP and WebSocket message budgets, unchanged tool results and history, resource-evidence retention, direct-call omission markers, and Code Mode waits after argument truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 538dc9d8c11b0830ec70327422f98a1803122e85
## What changed
Increase `MAX_ROOT_MESSAGES` from 8 to 16 so Guardian subagent authorization reviews can include more root conversation context.
## Testing
Update authorization integration tests to exercise the larger message limit, preserve late user authorization and question context, and expect incomplete root instructions when retained user messages exceed the cap.
GitOrigin-RevId: facc55f424a4d7e29626f4161ecfe031021b30c2
## Why
Ephemeral sessions cannot use the SQLite-backed agent message board. An in-memory backend lets agents share discussions without creating durable board storage.
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `message_board_in_memory` setting to the multi-agent v2 configuration, allowing the board to run in ephemeral sessions when both required features are enabled.
- Share board state across agents in the same tree and release it when the last handle is dropped.
- Implement channels, posts, subscriptions, notifications, search, and paginated reads through the existing `AgentMessageBoard` interface, including request deduplication.
## Testing
Add coverage for shared handles, concurrent request deduplication, tree isolation, and state release. Run existing query and tool test cases against both backends, and extend the parent/child scenario to verify ephemeral board sharing without creating a board database.
GitOrigin-RevId: d0b2083f8ea5b1c5a3a70f258ef738b87ea74cef
## Why
Callers need to await acceptance or rejection of thread settings without consuming the thread event stream. Acceptance must precede event delivery because the caller may hold a lock needed by the event consumer.
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::update_thread_settings` and re-export `ThreadSettingsOverrides` from `core-api`.
- Add an optional reply channel to `Op::ThreadSettings`. Return validation failures as `InvalidRequest` through that channel, retaining error events for callers without a reply channel.
- Reply to successful updates before emitting `ThreadSettingsApplied`, while holding the settings persistence lock through notification.
## Testing
Extend settings constraint coverage to direct replies, including rejection without an error event and successful notification. Verify that acceptance and continuation invalidation precede blocked event delivery, while checkpointing waits for notification.
GitOrigin-RevId: e09b0d3cc4b6750709c173371632f19619e5c250
## Why
Fixed schema budgets can strip parameter descriptions from large MCP tools or render their Code Mode input types as `unknown`. Allow larger budgets to preserve that guidance.
## What changed
- Add `mcp_servers.<name>.tool_input_schema_max_bytes` to configure the UTF-8 byte threshold for best-effort input schema compaction, retaining the 5,000-byte default.
- Add `features.code_mode.tool_input_schema_max_bytes` for rendered input types. Use the largest of the 16,000-byte default, the Code Mode setting, and the ordinary MCP server's explicit setting.
- Apply rendering budgets to prompt declarations and the runtime tool catalog, and avoid reusing cached declarations after the Code Mode budget changes.
## Testing
Add coverage for UTF-8 compaction thresholds, budget precedence, configuration round trips, and preservation of parameter guidance in both the Code Mode prompt and `ALL_TOOLS`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0ef2823a614d4794e636f518b09c0b03a5239b45
## Why
Required MCP servers can block startup while establishing a live connection even when a usable tool catalog is already cached.
## What changed
- Add per-server `startup_readiness = "catalog"` to expose cached tools while the connection starts, retaining `"connection"` as the default.
- Allow an eligible cached catalog to satisfy required-server startup validation and model binding capture. Explicit server or plugin requirements still wait for a live connection, and tool execution still requires the current connection.
- Check tool filters and model visibility when accepting cached catalogs, and preserve cached catalog revisions for binding reuse.
- Serialize the new setting, expose it in the configuration schema, and trace startup readiness at validation and model binding gates.
GitOrigin-RevId: a1cbdf1757ebb5824cffe2cc56408be49711c422
## Why
Saved model selections can outlive their catalog entries. Removing GPT-5.4 needs to preserve a migration path without applying it to other providers that may still support the same model slug.
## What changed
- Remove `gpt-5.4` from the bundled catalog and `openai.gpt-5.4` from the Bedrock catalogs, including GovCloud.
- Add fallback migration prompts to GPT-6 Sol for saved GPT-5.4 selections on OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock. Scope fallback migrations, including the existing GPT-5.4 Mini migration, to their owning providers while honoring catalog metadata.
- Update tests that depend on bundled GPT-5.4 metadata to use GPT-5.5 or explicit model overrides.
## Testing
Extend migration tests to cover catalog metadata precedence, acknowledged targets, missing or hidden replacements, and preserving the provider while saving the replacement model and its default reasoning effort. Update Bedrock catalog assertions and picker snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: f739795da423b9622db2a416be6c52b01b8e7a71
## Why
Expanded recursive deny lists can exceed the Windows command-line limit, preventing sandbox wrappers and setup helpers from launching.
## What changed
- Use chunked environment transport for wrapper and non-elevating setup payloads above 24,000 UTF-16 code units, preserving the existing argument protocol for smaller requests.
- Share the transport with the MXC launcher, supporting payloads up to 16 MiB with Unicode-safe chunking and validation.
- Keep transport variables out of the workload environment and remove inherited chunks before launching setup helpers.
## Testing
Add coverage for transport boundaries, Unicode round trips, malformed payload rejection, environment cleanup, and large payloads crossing Windows process creation. Extend the elevated sandbox integration test with 1,000 nested denied files to verify read restrictions and `AGENTS.md` discovery with a payload exceeding the command-line limit.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8ef92fdc7d534143f0eac76036a2173a6f585d08
## Why
Agent messages arriving during a response can interrupt sampling at reasoning or commentary boundaries, cutting off remaining tool calls.
## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `defer_mailbox_preemption` feature flag. When enabled, sampling continues past these boundaries and queued agent messages reach the next model request alongside completed tool results.
## Testing
Add streaming scenarios and snapshots for reasoning and commentary boundaries with deferral enabled and disabled. Verify that deferral preserves the planned tool call and that both queued messages arrive in order in the next request.
GitOrigin-RevId: d6846dd73b3afb47e7293f3b1aa2abcd04e37853
## What changed
- Make `LocalThreadStore` default to paginated history while retaining explicit legacy mode.
- Explicitly use paginated history for Guardian review sessions and allow in-memory stores to create paginated threads.
- Rename full-history resume, fork, and subagent helpers to identify them as legacy APIs, and document the paginated alternatives.
- Reject `thread/revert` for ephemeral threads and prevent the TUI from replaying or attaching to ephemeral agent threads.
## Testing
Add coverage for preserving the default and explicitly selected history modes and conversation context across restart, and for retaining context after rejected ephemeral reverts. Extend Guardian checkpoint coverage across both history modes and verify that saved reviews use paginated history.
GitOrigin-RevId: 870239eb3757018159ee4f230a009c97d38ac5b7
## Why
Treating an omitted `allow_local_binding` setting as `false` prevents environment policies from inheriting local-binding permissions.
## What changed
Keep `allow_local_binding` optional when composing controller and environment policies. Preserve explicit denials from either policy and resolve executor defaults after composition. Without a controller, default to denying local binding unless the environment explicitly allows it.
## Testing
Add coverage for omitted, allowed, and denied settings, managed constraints, executor defaults, and remote launch rejection when local-binding restrictions cannot be enforced. Extend remote network approval tests with loopback requests to verify controller and environment policy composition.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa0d15e8be87a2741255cd3a5a2cabffa03214ac
## Why
SQLite write failures can leave persisted logs incomplete, while log snapshots taken before collection miss errors raised during that collection.
## What changed
- Report SQLite flush failures directly to the in-memory log buffer without re-entering tracing, using an error category and batch size instead of raw error details.
- Track whether the log writer has lost a batch and make app-server diagnostic uploads use the memory buffer when SQLite logs are incomplete.
- Refresh log bytes after flushing and querying SQLite so the same submission includes collection failures, while preserving captured metadata and thread identity.
## Testing
Add regression tests for failure reporting without recursion, subsequent write recovery, metadata preservation, and healthy and failing SQLite collection. Add an upload integration test that captures attachments locally and checks failure diagnostics, memory-buffer fallback, and omission of raw SQLite error details.
GitOrigin-RevId: 51b0c4b69c977d9f4e74f2f245a9fd90fdb13761
## Why
Local `apply_patch` permission checks can treat a macOS system alias and its canonical spelling as different locations, sending writes covered by temporary-directory grants for unnecessary approval.
## What changed
- Normalize trusted top-level aliases in local policy roots and patch targets, reusing a prepared matcher for permission requests and patch safety checks.
- Share alias normalization with Seatbelt and the macOS executor sandbox while preserving mutable symlinks and missing descendants.
- Preserve read-only and deny precedence, protected metadata restrictions, and remote URI matching. Propagate normalization failures from fallible permission checks.
## Testing
Add macOS regressions for multi-file patches with missing parent directories through both direct `apply_patch` calls and shell interception, asserting automatic approval and file contents. Add unit coverage for alias restriction precedence, mutable symlink preservation, missing descendants, and remote permission isolation.

## Why
The PID reservation test could race with the backend's read on Windows by deleting the PID file from its cleanup task. The guardian heartbeat snapshot and environment normalization also needed to match the current permission-context wording.
## What changed
- Release the reservation lock and let `stop()` remove the stale PID file, then assert that the file is gone.
- Update the guardian heartbeat snapshot and normalization pattern to use `The active permission profile for environment`.

## What changed
Add `otel.log_guardian_assessments`, disabled by default and requiring an OTLP HTTP or gRPC log exporter. Emit `codex.guardian_assessment` when a synchronous Guardian review finishes, including review identifiers, status, risk level, user authorization, and rationale. Include `allow` or `deny` outcomes only for completed model assessments, not review errors, timeouts, or cancellations.
Cap exported rationales at 64 KiB on a UTF-8 character boundary and record their original byte length and truncation status. Use the log-only route to exclude assessment payloads from trace export, local state logs, and bug-report log buffers. Cached V2 approvals are not included.
## Testing
Add coverage for configuration gating, enabled and disabled denial logging, terminal statuses and outcomes, UTF-8 rationale truncation, export routing, and bug-report log buffer exclusion.

## What changed
- Resolve remote sandbox modes, writable roots, and denied read paths/globs using the executor's filesystem context, displaying paths in its native format. Preserve local filesystem resolution for local environments.
- Resolve remote read denials individually so missing executor facts omit only the unresolved entries.
- Apply a shared 32 KiB budget to displayed permission paths/globs, omitting whole entries and warning that all restrictions still apply, including omitted read denials.
## Testing
Add coverage for remote Windows writable roots and read denials, missing executor path facts, and whole-entry omission with multibyte paths under the shared budget.

## Why
Unchanged scheduled heartbeat instructions should not become fresh authorization evidence that supersedes a later human override or floods Guardian review context.
## What changed
- Capture heartbeat provenance per input, including when steering an active turn, and persist it in history and retained context.
- Coalesce unchanged instructions for each automation at their original acceptance order. Preserve changed instruction versions and ordinary human messages.
- Represent repeated heartbeats as references to earlier instructions in Guardian transcripts, while tracking the latest input turn separately for trusted skill selection.
- Limit coalescing to recognized, bounded heartbeat envelopes with host-provided provenance.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for human overrides across repeated and steered heartbeats, instruction changes, checkpoint restoration, transcript references, envelope parsing, and latest-turn trusted skills in delegated reviews.

## Why
Cold Rosetta translation and cache invalidation from hard-linked executables can interfere with timed CLI tests. Sampling the clock twice also makes local retry telemetry report a delay shorter than the selected backoff.
## What changed
- Warm CLI fixtures with `--version` on macOS x86_64 before timed checks, and use copies or Unix symlinks to avoid invalidating the shared executable's Rosetta cache.
- Use one clock sample to calculate the response retry deadline and recorded delay.
- Include the retry telemetry event in delay-range assertion failures for the headerless rate-limit stream test.

## Why
Asynchronous Guardian scoring omitted the target environment's denied-read restrictions, and cached score authorization did not include that permission context. A score from one environment could therefore be reused for an action in another environment with different restrictions.
## What changed
- Share permission resolution between synchronous review and asynchronous scoring, including resolving `write_stdin` targets from the owning terminal session.
- Include environment identity and denied-read paths/globs in async scoring context and cached score authorization.
- Fall back to synchronous review when permission evidence cannot be resolved or exceeds the async limit of 3,000 bytes, rather than omitting restrictions.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for rejecting cached scores with different environments or denied paths, passing the target environment's restrictions to the classifier, and rejecting oversized async permission evidence.

Raise `max_concurrent_threads_per_session` from 3 to 4 in the test
configuration so the root, worker, grandchild, and sibling can all remain
resident until explicit shutdown.

## What changed
Add a `TestCodexBuilder::with_thread_manager` hook for configuring the thread manager before test threads start, and register an integration suite using a test `AgentControl` implementation.
The tests verify:
- Controller factory calls for new roots, forks, and cold resumes, with reuse for warm resumes and shared session identity for internal sessions.
- Child session identity, persisted parent lineage, message-board authorship, and routing of child reloads through the host controller.
- Preservation of the controller's service tier when child threads start or root starts are rejected.
- Dispatch of `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, and `list_agents` to the host controller, including propagation of its errors to tool results.

## Why
New user input during a Guardian review invalidated an in-flight approval and aborted the pending action, even when the input was only a status inquiry. Review the action again against the latest authorization evidence so it can proceed or be denied based on the updated instructions.
## What changed
- Treat stale authorization as a retryable review error within the existing attempt budget and shared deadline.
- Refresh authorization evidence for each attempt while keeping the pending action fixed, and record evidence from the completed attempt.
- Preserve cancellation and history-reset aborts, and deny approval if stale authorization exhausts the retry budget.
## Testing
Add and update coverage for parent status updates, authorization revocation, repeated updates, cancellation, history resets, and retry deadlines. Verify that refreshed reviews see the latest input and that the pending action executes exactly once only after approval.

## Why
The list-voices barrier can consume the sleep completion event that `any_new_input_interrupts_sleep` needs to observe.
## What changed
Enqueue agent mail directly in the test so the subsequent wait can observe sleep completion. Keep the `TestCodex` fixture alive for the duration of the test by cloning its `codex` handle instead of moving it out.
