## Why
Standalone web search used a default HTTP client, bypassing the configured system proxy route when `respect_system_proxy` was enabled.
## What changed
Pass the configured `HttpClientFactory` to the web search tool and create its client asynchronously for the provider's search URL using the API route policy. Export and reuse `SEARCH_ENDPOINT` so route selection and search requests use the same endpoint.
## Testing
Add an isolated regression test with environment proxies removed and a mock system proxy. Verify that standalone web search reaches the proxy and returns its result in the follow-up model request.

## What changed
- Add callback lifetimes to extension `ToolCall`, `ToolEnvironment`, turn-input context, and skill-read request types.
- Require extension tool executors to handle calls for any invocation lifetime and tie their returned futures to that lifetime.
- Update built-in extensions, adapters, and tests to use the lifetime-scoped APIs without retaining host-owned environment capabilities.

## What changed
- Add the `supports_standalone_web_search` model-provider setting, defaulting to `false`, and preserve it in remote thread configuration.
- Enable the standalone `web.run` tool for opted-in custom Responses providers when web search is enabled and the runtime provider supports it.
- Send standalone search requests through the custom provider's endpoint and authentication.
## Testing
- Cover opt-in, default-off, disabled-search, and unsupported-provider behavior.
- Verify custom-provider search request routing and authorization through the app server.

## What changed
- Remove the step-scoped `ExtensionData` argument from context, turn-input, and tool contributors.
- Pass the host's optional `McpResourceClient` through `ThreadStartInput` so extensions can retain session capabilities explicitly.
- Keep the MCP resource client in skills-owned session state for catalog loading and skill tools.
GitOrigin-RevId: bafa77bcd998aff408d6a396c5fd9ac268c4cce4
## What changed
- Add an `ExtensionData` store to each `StepContext`.
- Pass the step store to context, world-state, turn-input, and tool contributors so extensions can use capabilities bound to the current sampling step.
- Preserve the captured step context when rebuilding initial context during compaction.

## Why
Standalone web search and image requests need to preserve the trusted,
thread-scoped originator used for billing attribution.
## What changed
- Seed extension data with the resolved thread originator and recognize
`codex_work_cca` and `chatgpt_cca` service names as originators.
- Forward non-default originators from the web search and image generation
extensions with the shared originator-header helper.
## Testing
- Cover originator resolution, header validation, and forwarding for web
search, image generation, and image editing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 165dace8e4d24e4bd92f234bff5ec77a21a7ff6e
## Summary
- allow the standalone image-generation and web-search extensions for
the actor-authorized provider shape used by CCA
- preserve builtin `image_generation` and `web_search` for older models
and existing flows
- keep ordinary non-OpenAI providers excluded from both extensions
- remove only the image extension local managed-AuthManager requirement
that CCA cannot satisfy
- share actor-authorization detection through `ModelProviderInfo`
- keep Core tests focused on routing behavior and cover header-shape
edge cases in `model-provider-info`
- add a Responses Lite regression that verifies both
`image_gen.imagegen` and `web.run`
## Why
CCA uses a provider named `local` with `requires_openai_auth: false` and
a non-empty `x-openai-actor-authorization` header. Core accepts that
provider shape, but both extension provider-name gates rejected it;
image generation additionally required a Codex-managed login.
The standalone paths must coexist with existing builtin tools. New
Responses Lite models can receive `image_gen.imagegen` and `web.run`,
while older models continue using builtin tools.
## Impact
This enables both standalone extensions for CCA once installed
downstream, without removing or changing builtin-tool compatibility for
older models.

- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
- Add `web_search = "indexed"` alongside `disabled`, `cached`, and
`live`.
- Use that same resolved mode for both hosted and standalone web search.
- For hosted search, send `index_gated_web_access: true` with external
web access enabled only when `indexed` is selected.
- For standalone search, preserve the existing boolean wire values for
existing modes (`cached` maps to `false` and `live` to `true`) and send
`"indexed"` only for `indexed`; `disabled` keeps the tool unavailable.
- Carry the mode through managed configuration requirements and
generated schemas.
## Why
Indexed search provides a middle ground between cached-only search and
unrestricted live page fetching. Search queries can remain live while
direct page fetches are limited to URLs admitted by the server.
The existing `web_search` setting remains the single source of truth, so
hosted and standalone executors cannot drift into different access
modes. Without an explicit `indexed` selection, the existing
model-visible tool and request shapes are unchanged.
```toml
web_search = "indexed"
[features]
standalone_web_search = true
```
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-api` (`126 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension` (`7 passed`)
- `just test -p codex-core
code_mode_can_call_indexed_standalone_web_search` (`1 passed`)
- Focused configuration, hosted request, standalone request, and
managed-requirement coverage is included in the PR; remaining suites run
in CI.
The full workspace test suite was not run locally.
## Why
Extension contributors are registered behind `dyn Trait` objects, so
native `async fn`/RPITIT methods would make these traits
non-object-safe. Spell out the boxed, `Send` future contract directly so
`extension-api` no longer needs `async-trait` while retaining the
existing runtime model.
## What changed
- add a shared `ExtensionFuture` alias and use it for asynchronous
contributor methods
- migrate production and test implementations to return `Box::pin(async
move { ... })`
- remove `async-trait` dependencies where they are no longer used,
keeping it dev-only where unrelated test executors still require it
## Behavior
No behavior change is intended. Contributor futures remain boxed,
`Send`, dynamically dispatched, and lazily executed; cancellation and
callback ordering stay unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-extension-api` (11 passed)
- affected extension crates (64 passed)
- targeted `codex-core` contributor tests (14 passed)
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
A broad local `codex-core` run compiled successfully but encountered
unrelated sandbox and missing test-binary fixture failures; CI will run
the full checks.
## Summary
Responses Lite does not execute hosted Responses tools, so models using
it must route web search and image generation through Codex-owned
executors & standalone Response's API endpoints.
This PR is stacked on #26487.

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
## Summary
- opt the extension-backed standalone `web.run` tool into parallel tool
execution
- update the existing extension registration test to assert that the
tool advertises parallel-call support
## Why
The standalone web-search API endpoint now supports parallel requests.
The extension executor still inherited the shared serial default,
causing multiple `web.run` calls to acquire the exclusive runtime lock.
## Impact
Models that emit multiple standalone web-search calls can now execute
them concurrently when model-level parallel tool calls are enabled.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD`
## Why
Standalone `web.run` calls run in the extension, so they need normal
web-search progress activity while a request is in flight and durable
completed activity after a thread is reloaded.
Follow-up to #23823; uses the extension turn-item emission path added in
#24813.
## What changed
- Emit standalone `web.run` start/completion items through the host
turn-item emitter, preserving standard client delivery and rollout
persistence.
- Include useful completion detail for queries, image queries, and
literal-URL `open`/`find` commands.
- Render completed searches as `Searched the web` or `Searched the web
for <detail>`, with snapshot coverage for the detail-free case.
- Extend the app-server round-trip test to verify completed search
activity is reconstructed by `thread/read` after a fresh-process reload.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `just test -p codex-app-server -E
"test(standalone_web_search_round_trips_encrypted_output)"`
## Summary
Add the extension-backed standalone `web.run` tool so Codex can call the
standalone search endpoint through the `codex-api` search client and
return its encrypted output to Responses.
- gate the new tool behind `standalone_web_search`
- install the extension in the app-server thread registry and hide
hosted `web_search` when standalone search is enabled for OpenAI
providers so the two paths stay mutually exclusive
- build search context from persisted history using a small tail
heuristic: previous user message, assistant text between the last two
user turns capped at about 1k tokens, and current user message
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
