We've received many reports of codex hanging when calling certain tools.
[Here](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/3204) is one example. This
is likely a major cause. The problem occurs when
`consume_truncated_output` waits for `stdout` and `stderr` to be closed
once the child process terminates. This normally works fine, but it
doesn't handle the case where the child has spawned grandchild processes
that inherits `stdout` and `stderr`.
The fix was originally written by @md-oai in [this
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1852), which has gone stale.
I've copied the original fix (which looks sound to me) and added an
integration test to prevent future regressions.
- Introducing a screen to inform users of model changes.
- Config name is being passed to be able to reuse this component in the
future for future models
This updates `thread/resume` to be at parity with v1's
`ResumeConversationParams`. Turns out history is useful for codex cloud
and path is useful for the VSCode extension. And config overrides are
always useful.
This PR addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/6360. The root
problem is that the TUI was directly loading the `auth.json` file to
access the auth information. It should instead be using the AuthManager,
which records the current auth information. The `auth.json` file can be
overwritten at any time by other instances of the CLI or extension, so
its information can be out of sync with the current instance. The
`/status` command should always report the auth information associated
with the current instance.
An alternative fix for this bug was submitted by @chojs23 in [this
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6495). That approach was only a
partial fix.
This adds support for a new variant of the shell tool behind a flag. To
test, run `codex` with `--enable shell_command_tool`, which will
register the tool with Codex under the name `shell_command` that accepts
the following shape:
```python
{
command: str
workdir: str | None,
timeout_ms: int | None,
with_escalated_permissions: bool | None,
justification: str | None,
}
```
This is comparable to the existing tool registered under
`shell`/`container.exec`. The primary difference is that it accepts
`command` as a `str` instead of a `str[]`. The `shell_command` tool
executes by running `execvp(["bash", "-lc", command])`, though the exact
arguments to `execvp(3)` depend on the user's default shell.
The hypothesis is that this will simplify things for the model. For
example, on Windows, instead of generating:
```json
{"command": ["pwsh.exe", "-NoLogo", "-Command", "ls -Name"]}
```
The model could simply generate:
```json
{"command": "ls -Name"}
```
As part of this change, I extracted some logic out of `user_shell.rs` as
`Shell::derive_exec_args()` so that it can be reused in
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/shell.rs`. Note the original code
generated exec arg lists like:
```javascript
["bash", "-lc", command]
["zsh", "-lc", command]
["pwsh.exe", "-NoProfile", "-Command", command]
```
Using `-l` for Bash and Zsh, but then specifying `-NoProfile` for
PowerShell seemed inconsistent to me, so I changed this in the new
implementation while also adding a `use_login_shell: bool` option to
make this explicit. If we decide to add a `login: bool` to
`ShellCommandToolCallParams` like we have for unified exec:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/807e2c27f0a9f2e85c50e7e6df5533f0d9b853c7/codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/unified_exec.rs#L33-L34
Then this should make it straightforward to support.
This PR fixes#6522 by correcting the comment for `full-auto` in both
`codex-rs/exec/src/cli.rs` and `codex-rs/tui/src/cli.rs` from `-a
on-failure` to `-a on-request` to make it coherent with
`codex-rs/tui/src/lib.rs:97-105`:
```rust
pub async fn run_main(
mut cli: Cli,
codex_linux_sandbox_exe: Option<PathBuf>,
) -> std::io::Result<AppExitInfo> {
let (sandbox_mode, approval_policy) = if cli.full_auto {
(
Some(SandboxMode::WorkspaceWrite),
Some(AskForApproval::OnRequest),
)
```
Running `just codex --help` or `just codex exec --help` should now yield
the correct description of `full-auto` CLI argument.

This one should be quite straightforward, as it's just a translation of
TurnItem events we already emit to ThreadItem that app-server exposes to
customers.
To test, cp my change to owen/app_server_test_client and do the
following:
```
cargo build -p codex-cli
RUST_LOG=codex_app_server=info CODEX_BIN=target/debug/codex cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- send-message-v2 "hello"
```
example event before (still kept there for backward compatibility):
