This PR changes get history op to get path. Then, forking will use a
path. This will help us have one unified codepath for resuming/forking
conversations. Will also help in having rollout history in order. It
also fixes a bug where you won't see the UI when resuming after forking.
## Unified PTY-Based Exec Tool
Note: this requires to have this flag in the config:
`use_experimental_unified_exec_tool=true`
- Adds a PTY-backed interactive exec feature (“unified_exec”) with
session reuse via
session_id, bounded output (128 KiB), and timeout clamping (≤ 60 s).
- Protocol: introduces ResponseItem::UnifiedExec { session_id,
arguments, timeout_ms }.
- Tools: exposes unified_exec as a function tool (Responses API);
excluded from Chat
Completions payload while still supported in tool lists.
- Path handling: resolves commands via PATH (or explicit paths), with
UTF‑8/newline‑aware
truncation (truncate_middle).
- Tests: cover command parsing, path resolution, session
persistence/cleanup, multi‑session
isolation, timeouts, and truncation behavior.
This adds a simple endpoint that provides the email address encoded in
`$CODEX_HOME/auth.json`.
As noted, for now, we do not hit the server to verify this is the user's
true email address.
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3395 updated `mcp-types/src/lib.rs`
by hand, but that file is generated code that is produced by
`mcp-types/generate_mcp_types.py`. Unfortunately, we do not have
anything in CI to verify this right now, but I will address that in a
subsequent PR.
#3395 ended up introducing a change that added a required field when
deserializing `InitializeResult`, breaking Codex when used as an MCP
client, so the quick fix in #3436 was to make the new field `Optional`
with `skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none"`, but that did not address
the problem that `mcp-types/generate_mcp_types.py` and
`mcp-types/src/lib.rs` are out of sync.
This PR gets things back to where they are in sync. It removes the
custom `mcp_types::McpClientInfo` type that was added to
`mcp-types/src/lib.rs` and forces us to use the generated
`mcp_types::Implementation` type. Though this PR also updates
`generate_mcp_types.py` to generate the additional `user_agent:
Optional<String>` field on `Implementation` so that we can continue to
specify it when Codex operates as an MCP server.
However, this also requires us to specify `user_agent: None` when Codex
operates as an MCP client.
We may want to introduce our own `InitializeResult` type that is
specific to when we run as a server to avoid this in the future, but my
immediate goal is just to get things back in sync.

Currently, mcp server fail to start with:
```
🖐 MCP client for `<CLIENT>` failed to start: missing field `user_agent`
````
It isn't clear to me yet why this is happening. My understanding is that
this struct is simply added as a new field to the response but this
should fix it until I figure out the full story here.

Also, simplify the streaming behavior.
This fixes a number of display issues with streaming markdown, and paves
the way for better markdown features (e.g. customizable styles, syntax
highlighting, markdown-aware wrapping).

This PR improves two existing auth-related tests. They were failing when
run in an environment where an `OPENAI_API_KEY` env variable was
defined. The change makes them more resilient.

This PR adds an `images` field to the existing `UserMessageEvent` so we
can encode zero or more images associated with a user message. This
allows images to be restored when conversations are restored.
Model providers like Groq, Openrouter, AWS Bedrock, VertexAI and others
typically prefix the name of gpt-oss models with `openai`, e.g.
`openai/gpt-oss-120b`.
This PR is to match the model name slug using `contains` instead of
`starts_with` to ensure that the `apply_patch` tool is included in the
tools for models names like `openai/gpt-oss-120b`
Without this, the gpt-oss models will often try to call the
`apply_patch` tool directly instead of via the `shell` command, leading
to validation errors.
I have run all the local checks.
Note: The gpt-oss models from non-Ollama providers are typically run via
a profile with a different base_url (instead of with the `--oss` flag)

The previous config approach had a few issues:
1. It is part of the config but not designed to be used externally
2. It had to be wired through many places (look at the +/- on this PR
3. It wasn't guaranteed to be set consistently everywhere because we
don't have a super well defined way that configs stack. For example, the
extension would configure during newConversation but anything that
happened outside of that (like login) wouldn't get it.
This env var approach is cleaner and also creates one less thing we have
to deal with when coming up with a better holistic story around configs.
One downside is that I removed the unit test testing for the override
because I don't want to deal with setting the global env or spawning
child processes and figuring out how to introspect their originator
header. The new code is sufficiently simple and I tested it e2e that I
feel as if this is still worth it.
It was hard for me to read the expected lines as a `["one", "two",
"three"]` array, maybe not so hard for the model but probably not having
to un-escape in its head would help it out :)

I verified that the output of `protocol-ts$ cargo run` is unchanged by
removing this line..
Added a comment on `ServerNotification` with justification to make this
clear.
