## Why
Reviews may use a different model from their parent turn. They need current
thread settings without inheriting defaults resolved for the parent model.
## What changed
- Build review configuration from the parent turn context while preserving
explicitly configured token-budget overrides.
- Use the review model's token-budget defaults and select a supported reasoning
effort when switching models.
- Carry the session's resolved service tier and current environment,
permissions, and approval settings into the review thread.
## Testing
Expanded review coverage for updated thread settings, model-specific
token-budget defaults, service tiers, and reasoning effort selection.

## Why
Guardian reviews received sandbox retry reasons, but not the execution-policy reason that triggered an initial approval request.
## What changed
- Propagate approval and retry reasons through the tool approval flow and include the applicable reason in the Guardian prompt.
- Prefer a sandbox retry reason when both are available.
- Truncate approval context to 512 tokens while preserving the start and end of the reason.
## Testing
Added prompt and integration coverage for policy reasons, retry precedence, and truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5b0f4e1c40b792b031bc8f7b31685a61d12b8d92
## Why
Amazon Bedrock supports hosted text web search, but it rejects the
`search_content_types` field used for multimodal search and does not support
external live or indexed web access.
## What changed
- Advertise hosted web search for Amazon Bedrock while marking external web
access as unsupported.
- Resolve unsupported live and indexed modes to cached search, or disable the
tool when cached search is prohibited by managed requirements.
- Normalize built-in and configured Bedrock model catalogs to text-only web
search, and retain the runtime provider in session configuration so turn
setup can apply its capabilities.
## Testing
- Cover cached fallback, managed-mode restrictions, text-only tool payloads,
provider capabilities, and catalog normalization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 310473849257401654388a4ebb42920e03aa3228
## What changed
- Remove the cached permission profile from `TurnContext` and derive the
effective profile, filesystem policy, network policy, and legacy sandbox
policy from `config.permissions`.
- Update sandbox consumers and tests to use the current turn configuration.
- Verify that role-based agent spawning reapplies runtime permissions and that
cold-resumed agents retain their disabled permission profile.
GitOrigin-RevId: d67c5d2bcbe6dc76f15b56defb485b155fd1f138
## What changed
Expand the ChatGPT dual-surface plugin integration test to cover both enabled
and disabled app configurations. Verify that plugin app guidance and searchable
app tools follow `apps.calendar.enabled`, while plugin MCP guidance and tools
remain suppressed.
GitOrigin-RevId: 40c51fbc075e07a8b03b5c520f5c46e360f71ceb
## Why
Thread settings can update the approval policy after a turn context is created.
Keeping a separate copy on `TurnContext` could leave tool approval checks using
the previous policy.
## What changed
- Remove the duplicated approval-policy field from `TurnContext`.
- Resolve the policy through the turn's current configuration everywhere it is
needed, including tool execution, Guardian routing, MCP handling, and
permission requests.
## Testing
- Update the shell escalation test to apply a thread-level policy override and
verify that the next turn rejects an escalation using the updated policy.
GitOrigin-RevId: e5966ba08f179d53fd76871ad904762958c0f5ea
## Why
App-server clients need to advertise structured MCP extension settings, including supported MCP App UI MIME types, rather than only opting into OpenAI form elicitation with a boolean.
## What changed
- Add an `extensions` map to initialize capabilities and preserve `mcpServerOpenaiFormElicitation` as a legacy alias for `openai/form`.
- Capture the declared extension profile when a thread is started, resumed, or forked, propagate it to subagents, and advertise it to downstream MCP servers during initialization.
- Keep the profile stable for the lifetime of the loaded session instead of changing it on later turns or direct tool calls.
## Testing
- Cover extension conversion, downstream MCP initialization, session isolation, legacy form support, and subagent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: fbcedbb74ce788e574b0f884a4c45c4cedb9de54
## What changed
- Apply the session's current approval policy whenever per-turn configuration is built.
- Have review threads inherit the parent turn's full permission settings and approval reviewer.
- Add coverage for settings updated after session startup, including the approval policy, permission profile, and approval reviewer.
GitOrigin-RevId: bff050c6de157dd65d62f7b49651bef3f426ee3f
## What changed
- Allow multi-agent v2 parents to spawn any visible model that has not explicitly disabled multi-agent support.
- Expose collaboration tools to child agents only when their selected model supports multi-agent v2, keeping legacy models as leaf workers.
- Preserve a worker's selected model when reloading it into residency.
- Propagate multi-agent capability metadata to Amazon Bedrock model entries so delegation is gated consistently.
## Testing
- Cover model selection, leaf-worker tool visibility, Bedrock capability handling, and model preservation after reload.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1457adb1a09806d1f0621311d5a42a6815b9dd4e
## What changed
- Keep complete MCP namespace descriptions in tool-search source metadata.
- Raise the namespace tool-spec description limit from 1,000 bytes to 512 KiB,
truncating at a UTF-8 character boundary only when the new limit is exceeded.
## Testing
- Cover descriptions beyond the former limit and multibyte truncation at 512 KiB.
- Update SSE and stdio MCP tests to verify that complete server instructions are
preserved without hiding tools.
GitOrigin-RevId: 000bfcafb3df348065ae451685bfbf978a0e3248
## What changed
- Allow namespace tool specs to contain custom freeform tools alongside function tools.
- Include namespaced custom tools in deferred tool search and expose them to code mode with names such as `editor__apply_patch`.
- Route custom payloads to matching extension tools while preserving function-only payload validation.
## Testing
- Add serialization, tool search, code-mode definition, and end-to-end dispatch coverage for namespaced custom tools.
GitOrigin-RevId: be64d35f6ae54685c5a9fcf45a732320742ea7e5
## Why
Code-mode `wait` and `terminate` requests can remain pending when the host
transport stalls.
## What changed
- Add a 60-second transport allowance to the runtime timeout for `wait`, and
apply the same transport deadline to `terminate`.
- Return a model-visible timeout error and invalidate the connection when the
deadline expires, so the next execution reconnects to the host.
## Testing
- Cover queued `wait` and `terminate` requests that exceed their deadlines.
- Verify that a timed-out `wait` reports the error and reconnects on the next
code-mode execution.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5d772e5a6f3793aa8865a1160639b851fd4824fb
## What changed
- Replace the thread ID in `<context_window>` metadata with the session's canonical agent path.
- Default sessions without an agent path to `/root`.
- Verify that root sessions emit `/root` and subagent sessions emit their own path, such as `/root/worker`.
GitOrigin-RevId: bcf057842ed31f93d554b7de063b6c03403a2594
## What changed
- Store the effective `allow_login_shell` setting on each turn environment, including inherited environments whose child thread has a different policy.
- Expose the `login` argument for shell tools when any selected environment permits login shells.
- Validate each command against the policy of its selected environment instead of the turn-wide configuration.
## Testing
- Cover tool schema generation for single and multiple environments.
- Cover login-shell rejection by both the command handler and the unified exec integration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5a93149a5c86f4087f2b92d663ebc33feff8a57c
## What changed
- Track approved command prefixes separately from the stable permissions
instructions in world-state snapshots.
- Emit only newly approved prefixes after an exec-policy amendment instead of
appending the full permissions block again.
- Preserve prefix updates when full permissions instructions are disabled and
remain compatible with legacy world-state snapshots.
## Testing
- Cover incremental prefix additions, removals, legacy snapshots, history
rollback, and approval flows with permissions instructions enabled or disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: e6f68c6a91be82750e70e28456f2b7c58607fbd8
## What changed
- Add `include_plugin_usage_instructions` to model metadata, defaulting to false.
- Emit generic plugin guidance only when plugins are available and the selected model enables it.
- Enable the capability for interactive model presets while leaving `codex-auto-review` opted out.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67f5a97e978033f5f1d533956c0b9deeae610283
## What changed
- Remove `ModelInfo.base_instructions` as an in-memory instruction source and use `model_messages.instructions_template` consistently for bundled, remote, fallback, and overridden model metadata.
- Preserve compatibility by promoting legacy `base_instructions` values when reading model responses and caches, and by including rendered legacy instructions when serializing `ModelsResponse` for older clients.
- Treat templates without instruction variables as literal text and retain the other model-message fields when applying instruction overrides.
This completes the consolidation proposed in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/31302.
## Testing
- Cover legacy response and cache migration, canonical-template precedence, fallback instructions, personality rendering, overrides, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: 089d986ca5e30da67db2c77a1b6a046d2cff52dc
## Testing
- Verify consecutive tool reviews reuse the same Guardian session without
prewarming and execute both approved commands.
- Verify interrupting a pending Guardian review prevents command execution and
records an aborted tool result for the next turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: b8371ae82b4fef206857012589668f890f9305bf
## Why
MCP tools can be exposed directly, discovered through tool search, or called
from Code Mode. Servers need to be able to opt out of any of these surfaces
without disabling their tools everywhere.
## What changed
- Add `omit_tools_from` to MCP server configuration, accepting any combination
of `direct`, `deferred`, and `code_mode`.
- Apply the exclusions independently when building direct, deferred, and Code
Mode tool surfaces while keeping omitted tools registered for permitted uses.
- Remove client-private `_meta` fields from MCP results returned to Code Mode.
- Include the new setting in the configuration schema and MCP config
serialization.
## Testing
- Cover every exposure combination across Code Mode, Code-Mode-only sessions,
tool search, direct-only namespaces, and prefixed and unprefixed MCP names.
- Verify direct and nested execution paths, parallel-call support, config
round-tripping, and `_meta` filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 12dfcb78bb5c5ecf4d70f38a8b5022792463a27f
## Why
Codex Apps tool catalogs can exceed the standard MCP limit of 2,048 items and
still need to remain available through tool search.
## What changed
- Allow up to 8,192 catalog items for host-owned `codex_apps` registrations.
- Keep the 2,048-item limit for other MCP servers, including extensions that
register the `codex_apps` name.
- Restrict the shared Codex Apps tool cache to host-owned registrations.
## Testing
- Cover large catalogs for built-in and hosted-plugin registrations while
verifying that another extension retains the standard limit.
- Verify that a same-named extension cannot read the host-owned Apps cache.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2265693a460e9be63c4c849169cba7324def4f49
## What changed
- Enable `test_sync_tool` for the startup prewarm test.
- Hold the first user-turn response open while Git enrichment completes, then
verify the refreshed workspace metadata on the follow-up request.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd4254fba1ac2f346022988cc21a78648a29556a
## What changed
Move shell snapshot validation in the intercepted `apply_patch` test until after
the turn completes and its patch lifecycle events have been collected.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1c16bcfcc97f09165c4a2eb2d15f4059a14b2a99
## What changed
- Charge `codex_rollout_budget_units` against the shared rollout budget when the provider includes it in response usage.
- Fall back to weighted input and output token accounting when provider units are absent.
- Reject non-finite or negative provider units as a fatal response error.
## Testing
- Cover provider units in reminder thresholds and local and remote compaction budget exhaustion.
- Verify invalid units fail without retrying the response.
GitOrigin-RevId: b452403e365985854d16f298d1ba46383e9892c4
## What changed
- Reattach recorded `executed_tool_calls` metadata when an output is included in a subsequent prompt.
- Bound retained metadata to 32 KiB, prioritizing recent calls and reporting omitted calls in truncation metadata.
- Drop retained entries after their corresponding outputs leave the prompt history.
## Testing
- Cover metadata replay, cleanup after compaction, bounded retained history, and propagation through later tool requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1c23a26123be3b7ad51c61f4ad522139b71bb773
## What changed
- Add the optional `delegationAckFiller` field to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Forward explicit `true` or `false` values to V3 Frameless Bidi session payloads as `delegation.ack_filler`; leave the field absent when unspecified so the Realtime API default is preserved.
- Document that V1 and V2 ignore this setting.
## Testing
- Cover both boolean values in Frameless Bidi serialization and verify the WebRTC V3 session creation payload.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9fe8efd14e42738c3e86e3e9a8af81d0f4521244
## What changed
- Run `git init` to mark command execution in the affected pre-tool hook tests.
- Keep marker repositories in per-test temporary directories and assert against
their `.git` directories.
- Check `git version` output when a code-mode hook rewrites a nested command.
GitOrigin-RevId: 71c54ef525b08e1d592f69c8b88eed1ee6403e4f
## Why
Clients need to know whether a `request_user_input` request must wait for an
explicit response or may auto-resolve. Using `autoResolutionMs` as that signal
conflated the blocking decision with timeout policy.
## What changed
- Add required `isBlocking` fields to user input protocol and app-server
request payloads. Plan-mode requests are blocking, while requests from other
enabled modes are non-blocking.
- Drive the TUI's auto-resolution behavior from `isBlocking` and remove
`autoResolutionMs` from the model-facing tool schema.
- Deprecate `autoResolutionMs` while retaining it for compatibility, and treat
legacy payloads without `isBlocking` as blocking.
## Testing
- Cover mode-derived blocking behavior, legacy deserialization, app-server
forwarding, delegated requests, and TUI auto-resolution.
GitOrigin-RevId: 29aade657ef743065ec264376ba567a9b353d7d7
## What changed
- Add optional `realtimeStartInstructions` and `realtimeEndInstructions` fields to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply the instructions when Codex enters and leaves realtime mode, while preserving the existing defaults when either field is omitted.
- Limit each field to 8,192 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover custom entry and exit instructions across realtime state transitions.
- Cover token-limit validation for both fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: b9cfa1ff22e084d8a6b2ed56bd27d95ffdd6b6bd
## Why
Legacy thread histories did not use the cross-process writer ownership guard already applied to paginated histories.
## What changed
- Acquire and retain a writer lock whenever a legacy or paginated thread is created or resumed.
- Apply the same ownership checks when archiving or deleting either history mode.
- Release ownership when initialization fails or the active thread shuts down, allowing another process to resume it.
## Testing
- Cover competing create and resume operations for both history modes.
- Cover archive and deletion conflicts for legacy and paginated descendants.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1be79b01966ad2634ed79eb96c0aa0db8eafe2fa
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::submit_user_input_and_wait_for_admission` and export the
`UserMessageAdmission` result through `codex-core-api`.
- Resolve submissions only after they start a new turn or steer the active
turn, returning the accepting turn ID in either case.
- Return errors for invalid operations, rejected thread settings, and session
termination instead of leaving admission waiters unresolved.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for concurrent start-and-steer submissions, settings
rejection and recovery, non-user operations, and submission after shutdown.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21f1ede38d399baa9836d61a59b9f9af2dbf83b8
## What changed
- Make the skills extension own the catalog prompt templates and rendering path.
- Remove the duplicate core fallback that injected available skills into initial context.
- Update core integration tests to install the skills extension explicitly when they expect model-visible skill context.
GitOrigin-RevId: bbe6b15c4e776a09c98b7f4166426fe4e58434ba
## Why
Threads can configure the same MCP server name with different runtimes. Tool calls
must use the runtime associated with the thread that issued the call.
## What changed
- Route MCP readiness checks and call preparation through the invoking session.
- Add regression coverage that alternates calls between two threads and verifies
that each thread continues using its own MCP server process and configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5735f7b29a579f545351385ab01a575e35ead01e
## What changed
- Add optional `default` and `plan` collaboration-mode messages to model catalog metadata.
- Prefer the active mode's catalog message, including an explicit empty value, while falling back to the existing developer instructions when the catalog variant is absent.
- Track the model in collaboration-mode world state so mode and model changes append the appropriate instructions, and clear prior instructions when no current message exists.
- Preserve catalog collaboration messages when instruction overrides remove other model instruction fields.
## Testing
- Cover catalog deserialization, variant selection, fallback and empty-message behavior, legacy snapshot migration, mode changes, and model changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: d4c6c0028423bc50b0e8175e55586f3e7bc1c3a8
## What changed
Reject `shell_command` and unified `exec_command` calls that provide a
`justification` without also specifying `sandbox_permissions`. The
model-visible error tells callers to explicitly request `require_escalated`
execution or omit the justification.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for `shell_command` argument validation.
- Add integration coverage for both shell tool paths, including verification
that rejected unified exec calls do not begin execution.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6af39d2c889af492440615eae12085b99a8b5169
## What changed
- Register the legacy `shell_command` handler only when exactly one local environment is available, including when unified exec keeps it hidden for compatibility.
- Reserve the unnamespaced `shell_command` name so external tools cannot claim it when the built-in handler is unavailable. Namespaced tools with that name remain supported.
## Testing
- Cover remote and multiple-environment tool plans, unified exec routing, and external tool registration for reserved and namespaced variants.
GitOrigin-RevId: 93834539b31ac8a7fea072bfa4de792bcc3e053b
## Why
Host skill path aliases should follow the core skill loader's root discovery
order, independent of how catalog entries are sorted for rendering.
## What changed
- Propagate each host skill root's discovery position into its catalog entries.
- Assign `r0`, `r1`, and subsequent aliases from that position while leaving
entries without an explicit root order last.
## Testing
Added coverage for alias ordering in extension rendering and across consecutive
production turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9085a3843c91bf2ce78a378cf5ce4926e9c38eb8
## Why
MCP servers running in an executor must not reuse host-owned OAuth credentials,
even when they have the same configured server name and URL.
## What changed
- Derive environment-scoped credential names for executor-owned MCP servers and
use them consistently for login, logout, authentication, and connection setup.
- Mark executor-owned entries in the file credential store and fail closed when
loading or saving an entry could cross the host/executor boundary.
- Preserve compatibility with existing local OAuth credentials, including local
server names that overlap the new reserved prefixes.
## Testing
- Extend the executor MCP integration test to verify that executor requests use
the executor token, never send the host token, and persist both credentials
separately.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4fc92d0533b0fe2e0df34f6d47b81e3d20d07807
## What changed
- Load and cache the host skill provider catalog during world-state contribution.
- Render host skill listings from that catalog with Core-compatible budgeting, while preserving Core's full prompt injection for selected host skills.
- Reuse the cached host catalog for shadow selection, including when skill listings are disabled.
- Preserve an empty Core-compatible skills fragment when every entry exceeds the metadata budget, and make budget warnings independent of the configured percentage.
## Testing
- Cover provider-backed host listings, selected-skill prompt injection, shadow selection, disabled listings, oversized prompts, empty fragments, metrics, and warnings.
GitOrigin-RevId: b6b2d8ea14386356094cff5783d121d74657e9e3
## What changed
- Move the V8 implementation into a dedicated `codex-code-mode-runtime` crate used by `codex-code-mode-host`, removing the embedded runtime fallback from the Codex process.
- Resolve the host executable from the active installation layout and check its availability before selecting tools.
- Fall back to direct tools with a one-time warning when optional code mode is unavailable. Keep `code_mode_only` and `disable_in_process_fallback` configurations fail-closed.
## Testing
- Cover host discovery for standalone and package layouts, including missing hosts and symlinks.
- Verify direct-tool fallback, one-time warnings, and fail-closed code-mode-only behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5aa3c6f1db148b2231fc24089a2ee0e2b00dbddb
## Why
The `<current_date>` in environment context could diverge from the clock used by current-time features, especially when a host provides an external clock.
## What changed
- Read the current time from the session's time provider whenever world state is built, and render its local date in environment context.
- Use each session's own thread ID for clock reads, including guardian sessions.
- Propagate clock-read failures through turn error events and stop before model inference.
## Testing
- Cover date updates across turns and app-server requests.
- Verify guardian clock reads use the corresponding root or guardian thread ID and do not run during prewarm.
- Verify clock failures emit an error without sending an inference request.
GitOrigin-RevId: bb7f32ccc0229b7bc6f14d7356db00bcce78066d
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `executed_tool_call_metadata` feature to record model-attempted direct and code-mode tool calls.
- Attach recorded names and arguments to the matching tool output in the next Responses request, preserving the metadata across sampling retries.
- Bound pending calls and argument sizes, and emit truncation metadata when limits are exceeded.
## Testing
- Cover disabled-by-default behavior, namespaced and nested calls, blocked or failed attempts, retry handling, and recorder limits.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ce917b73e797b0f6904d46477b9d2cf8ea71bf2
## What changed
Add integration coverage for managed network requests that verifies:
- Guardian allow and deny decisions apply only to the triggering request.
- A decision for a remote environment does not carry over to a local one.
- A user-granted remote session approval remains active after Guardian-reviewed requests.
- Guardian assessments receive the exact network action and execution environment for each request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6701074c6d60b9f28a6d47ebaf910bb1e9f2fa07
## What changed
Add integration coverage for `apply_patch` with unified exec workspace roots. The test verifies that a normal file can be added while writes under existing `.git`, `.agents`, and `.codex` directories are rejected and do not create files.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21ad5ce7fb06e7c47b4086c1439f12d52d9235de
## What changed
- Force an online model-catalog refresh and verify that the mock server receives it.
- Allow the catalog mock to handle repeated requests.
- Bound the catalog refresh and session shutdown with timeouts, and explicitly wait for shutdown before completing the test.
GitOrigin-RevId: 503b52fd296928757b982abc053c74ed36700ff0
## What changed
- Replace fixed delays with explicit signals that pause the sideband connection after its HTTP handshake request begins.
- Release the handshake after closing the realtime conversation and verify that the connection ends before the handshake completes.
- Shut down the test session while rejecting stale realtime errors or duplicate close events from the canceled sideband task.
GitOrigin-RevId: 37072842b973fff41ec47235ceb9cfe3cf1a5a37
## What changed
- Seed approval scenarios with the bundled model catalog so their model metadata is deterministic.
- Make the patch approval helper surface unexpected exec approvals, errors, aborts, and shutdowns immediately instead of waiting for its timeout.
GitOrigin-RevId: b5ec88494ecaf571a480b4142300eb5f3f98def9
## What changed
Update the code mode yield and termination integration test to generate a
bounded output backlog, then wait on a file-backed gate until the session is
terminated. Remove the timeout that previously guarded submission of the
infinite-loop workload.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd48307f18ab12bfbf02dc26b0f3715f073402a7
## What changed
- Run the strict auto-review enabled and disabled scenarios as separate test cases on a two-thread Tokio runtime.
- Explicitly shut down each Codex instance after verifying that the approved folder grant allows the later `apply_patch` call.
GitOrigin-RevId: cbbf47d834c4a9adcf181b97b8aa72b5f0a513e2
## What changed
- Track the first registered tool for each normalized code-mode identifier and use that tool consistently for dispatch metadata and model-facing code-mode declarations.
- Skip duplicate normalized names when building the code-mode executor while preserving shadowed tools in the registry and direct tool exposure where applicable.
- Cover collisions across dynamic and namespaced tools, direct and deferred exposure, code-mode-only operation, and Responses Lite metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: a4acb57ce44e7de1398981b22af4b87e2a35870f
## What changed
- Retain bounded, non-completion agent messages in remote v2 compaction history so delegated tasks remain available on follow-up turns.
- Account for encrypted agent-message content when estimating token usage and place restored initial context before the latest real user or agent message.
- Exclude child completion messages from retained follow-up history and strip inherited parent agent messages when forking a child.
## Testing
- Extend compaction, history-estimation, and agent-fork tests to cover encrypted delegated tasks, child completions, context ordering, and fork sanitization.
GitOrigin-RevId: ba4392e9cfdf4ecbcdc9c7d8581d58a8d2d78260
