## What changed
- Derive sampling diagnostic and rollout trace labels directly from permission profiles instead of constructing legacy sandbox policies. Rename the trace metadata field from `sandbox_policy` to `permissions_profile`.
- Extract `with_workspace_write_cwd` to share default workspace metadata protections between legacy policy conversion and the TUI's sandbox-mode compatibility check. Build the check's workspace-write profile from filesystem and network permissions directly.
## Testing
Add a regression test confirming that the sandbox-mode compatibility check accepts standard workspace metadata protections and rejects a profile with an additional writable `.git` root.

## Why
A subagent can use a different model from its parent, with different supported access programs. Saved Daybreak choices need to resolve against the subagent's model and remain consistent throughout its turn, including compaction.
## What changed
- Resolve saved choices before native subagent turns start, preserving explicit turn overrides and applying saved toggles on later turns.
- Distinguish inherited parent programs from explicit child selections. Adapt inherited Daybreak Blue/Red selections to the child model while retaining the saved choice as the default for later turns and nested subagents.
- Validate the account associated with automatic selections and reject incompatible saved choices before sending model requests, while retaining rejected user input in conversation history.
- Require model changes to wait until the next turn when a saved Daybreak choice is present.
## Testing
Add coverage for both multi-agent spawn versions, model-specific selection, automatic compaction, WebSocket response reuse, account changes, unsupported choices, and rejected-input persistence across resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 11971138d656600d9878187225e4d33217e68ad4
## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `daybreak_program_propagation` feature to capture a parent's saved Daybreak choice when spawning native helpers. Retain the choice and account identity for helper turns and nested spawns, while preserving explicit `cyber_access_program` overrides. A helper's own saved preference takes precedence on later turns.
Read pending metadata before persisted metadata so preferences survive thread materialization, with stored choices taking precedence. Share this resolution logic with `thread/read` and support refreshing the feature through user configuration.
## Testing
Add coverage for saved and pending preferences, unset choices, explicit overrides, failed metadata reads, nested spawns, parent unloading, feature withdrawal, and preference changes between helper turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: b3b349da8cb3d48154cddf058890587385efcda2
## What changed
Make `TurnContextItem.permission_profile` required and remove its legacy `sandbox_policy` and `file_system_sandbox_policy` fields. Normalize older histories into a permission profile during deserialization, preserving the restrictive fallback for malformed filesystem rules.
Keep legacy compatibility fields in rollout serialization so older readers remain usable. Update turn recording, metadata extraction, and permission checks to consume the profile directly.
## Testing
Add coverage for legacy normalization, profile-only serialization, missing permissions, and malformed filesystem rules. Extend rollout round-trip fixtures to cover deny rules and filesystem roots from another platform.
GitOrigin-RevId: 27515fec60cccbac5806b98fb71f54e311a09701
## What changed
- Add `direct_only_tool_namespaces` to `TurnStartOptions`. Omission inherits the thread configuration; an empty list clears direct-only routing for that turn. Steering ignores the option.
- Persist explicit overrides in turn context and restore them when recovering an interrupted turn, including turns started by standalone tool output.
- Keep subsequent turns and spawned or resumed child agents on the thread's routing defaults.
## Testing
Add coverage for routing changes across turns in Responses and Responses Lite, recovery without carrying overrides into subsequent turns, and child-agent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: cea1a997424572d4cd372cd15b098626904c6796
## What changed
- Expose `PromptCacheTtl` through `TurnStartOptions` and `RecoverTurnRequest`, supporting `30m` and `12h` minimum cache lifetimes.
- Carry the selected TTL through turn execution and compaction into `prompt_cache_options.ttl` on Responses HTTP and WebSocket requests. Omit the field when unset and keep the selection scoped to the turn.
- Include prompt cache options in WebSocket request reuse checks.
## Testing
Add coverage for both TTL values and omission on a subsequent turn without an override, and extend WebSocket serialization coverage to include prompt cache options.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8529306e6ad6030fe77c5e6bf19f3810717c0c5e
## Why
Repository skill discovery must reflect current filesystem access, including newly approved grants and narrower permissions. Previously listed skills can remain in conversation history after a turn-scoped grant expires, so catalog updates need to tell the model when availability changes.
## What changed
- Discover repository skills through the selected executor's permission-aware filesystem accessor and refresh snapshots when the working directory or access changes. Use the current step's snapshot for skill selection and invocation.
- Preserve repository boundaries even when project markers are hidden by read restrictions, and report unsupported sandbox backends as skill-loading errors.
- Track grant-dependent catalog entries and emit availability notices when skills disappear or return, even when the metadata budget is exhausted.
- Resolve implicit skill paths through their owning filesystem and exclude remote repository skills from local implicit command attribution.
## Testing
Add coverage for turn and session grants, grant expiry and restoration, hidden and newly created repository markers, cached read denials on Windows, unsupported remote sandboxes, and executor-backed implicit skill paths.
GitOrigin-RevId: ac1af483e73e3130524aeeabe218630435054028
## Why
Skill discovery and metadata loading used raw filesystem handles with unrestricted reads, and cache keys distinguished filesystems without accounting for captured permissions.
## What changed
- Pass borrowed `EnvironmentAccess` accessors through skill root resolution, discovery, canonicalization, and metadata reads.
- Include captured permissions in skill snapshot and empty remote root cache keys.
- Add fixed-path watches to `EnvironmentAccess`, falling back to live discovery when read restrictions prevent using unsandboxed executor watches.
- Keep user and plugin roots under host filesystem authority independently of the selected repository executor.
## Testing
Extend remote root cache coverage to verify that changing captured permissions triggers a fresh scan and that restricted accessors decline unsandboxed watches.
GitOrigin-RevId: 97d4bfdfcba78a93fc8845773c6397d4364494e3
## Why
Uploaded audio was rejected even for audio-capable models. Invalid or expired recordings also need to be excluded from later requests so users can continue the conversation.
## What changed
- Accept uploaded audio when the selected model supports audio; otherwise, preserve valid sibling input and report the unsupported attachment before inference.
- Track successful audio decoding by model and provider, and attribute provider rejections against the exact submitted request. Preserve attachments when attribution is ambiguous.
- Persist confirmed rejected file IDs across compaction and resume, omitting them from future requests without rewriting retained user history.
- Check audio availability before remote compaction and retry once without an unambiguously rejected recording. Include guidance to remove or replace affected attachments in audio errors.
## Testing
Add unit and scenario coverage for uploaded audio across follow-up turns, compaction, cold and paginated resume, model switching, ambiguous rejections, expired files, and queued or interrupted input.
GitOrigin-RevId: e701901e7b1c0865c9f2a5918197215f549b06c0
## Why
Existing chats can retain reasoning effort and service tier selections that a refreshed provider catalog no longer supports.
## What changed
- Apply fresh provider catalogs to saved settings in open and resumed chats, and normalize incoming settings before capturing the next turn.
- Replace unsupported ranked reasoning efforts with the highest supported level at or below the selection. For unsupported `ultra` or `persistent` selections, use the model's supported default when available. Reset unsupported `priority` and `ultrafast` service tiers to `default`.
- Retire incompatible reasoning effort pins using each step's captured model metadata, preserving running steps and the live pin during compaction.
- Publish catalog updates only from successful provider responses for the current identity, and refresh retained originator catalogs through the periodic refresh worker.
## Testing
Add coverage for setting correction, reasoning effort pins, resumed chats, stale queued settings, retained history, refresh failures, identity changes, and isolated originator notifications.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ef4605c4acba98db3fe9d0328e2752084e900a2
## Why
Removing an executor must detach its selection even when older turn snapshots still reference it. Connection events queued for a removed attachment must not leak into a later selection of the same executor.
## What changed
- Introduce `EnvironmentAttachment` with a detach signal shared by turn snapshots and a guard owned by the selection.
- Preserve attachments across workspace and configuration changes, while giving reselections and child threads independent attachment lifetimes.
- Stop forwarding connection events on detach and discard buffered events from detached attachments.
- Activate initial attachments after `SessionConfigured`, using configured bindings for startup discovery.
## Testing
Add coverage for discarding buffered connection events on reselection and extend snapshot tests to verify immediate detachment, fresh attachments on reselection, and independent parent and child lifetimes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6cf882e0d17a296030c13d80c6e2866c80e04638
## Why
Hosts need to apply subagent-style capability restrictions without changing a thread's session attribution, agent lineage, or permission profile.
## What changed
Add the public `RestrictRootCapabilities` marker to thread startup extension data. Capture the restriction once at startup and apply it alongside the restrictions native subagents already receive. Hosts must supply the marker again when cold-resuming a restricted thread.
Use the restriction to gate user-input and plugin-install requests, async user messaging, legacy MCP tool approvals, and Full Access MCP form input. Exclude inherited user messages from Guardian's retained authorization context for restricted threads, including after cold resume.
## Testing
Add coverage for host-restricted tool registration, MCP approval rejection, Full Access form-input handling, and inherited instruction authorization after cold resume. Update handler tests to exercise the shared restriction flag.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4d6d7102a20dc747431c7511a74a204c773e8420
## What changed
Return `CatalogModel` from model lookups, keeping metadata together with its `Bundled`, `Provider`, `ExplicitConfig`, or `Synthetic` origin through config overrides and runtime snapshots. Replace `used_fallback_model_metadata` checks with explicit `Synthetic` origin checks.
Share the underlying `Arc<ModelInfo>` with extension stores and use copy-on-write for metadata changes. Keep origin tracking outside serialized model metadata.
## Testing
Extend coverage for origin retention across cache reloads, namespaced model lookups, catalog fallback, and config overrides. Verify that step snapshots and extension stores share the same model metadata allocation.
GitOrigin-RevId: bb6130c94a7a795aa168ee24664a1dd453579fba
## Why
Cyber access program selection was restricted to the `openai` provider ID, preventing custom providers from accepting explicit program selections.
## What changed
- Add `capabilities.cyber_access_programs` to provider configuration and preserve it through remote thread configuration. Default to enabled for `openai` and disabled for other provider IDs, with explicit overrides taking precedence.
- Use the capability when forwarding `access_programs.cyber` and determining Daybreak availability in exec and the TUI. Refresh TUI eligibility when the server changes the selected provider.
- Preserve authentication, API-key feature gates, and catalog access checks; the capability does not grant program access.
## Testing
Add coverage for capability defaults and overrides, configuration round trips, custom-provider requests with both authentication types, API-key feature gating, compaction, WebSocket response reuse, exec selection, and TUI provider changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 579f7c33c9e857ff5fedd08311aa8e3129740c1f
## What changed
Add `CodexThread::replace_dynamic_tools` to replace the tool catalog without starting a turn. Updates apply to subsequent model steps and future turns while preserving in-flight calls; an empty list clears the catalog.
Require host opt-in through `allow_persistent_dynamic_tool_updates` for persistent threads. Persist replacements before publishing them, restore the latest catalog on resume, and preserve replacements and explicit clears through compaction. Keep explicit resume overrides separate from the persisted catalog.
## Testing
Add coverage for pending calls during replacement, replacement and clearing across restart, compaction recovery, resume overrides, submission ordering after caller cancellation, host opt-in, and persistence failures.
GitOrigin-RevId: fd2634906895a9b72ae7892ddd9435dced45eccb
## Why
A pending agent-message wake can outlive an interrupt or a switch to Plan mode while model discovery is waiting. It must recheck whether it can start before consuming queued messages.
## What changed
- Revalidate reserved wakes after discovery and build the turn with the configuration selected during admission.
- Mark interrupted wake reservations as stopped so later agent messages cannot restart automatic work, while preserving queued messages for explicit turns.
- Keep finishing turns marked as running until completion is persisted, protecting their rollout writer from capacity eviction.
## Testing
Add regression tests for interrupts and Plan-mode changes during discovery, queued-message preservation, explicit follow-ups with `wake_on_agent_messages` disabled, and completion status and persistence with the feature enabled and disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: afe1d57063a5ec491e8b16d6c62135caa69c0a3c
## What changed
- Use V2 discovery inventories for plugin MCP contributions when supplied, including empty or failed inventories; retain legacy discovery when no V2 snapshot is supplied.
- Merge plugins by canonical identity, using cloud metadata and enablement for remote plugins and attaching executor installations only when versions match. Preserve configured executor-local plugins and executor enablement when cloud data is unavailable.
- Keep installation order stable across refreshes and run merged MCP declarations on the first retained executor installation while preserving attribution for the others.
- Carry local and remote identities through selected-plugin snapshots, skill attribution, and active-plugin telemetry. Track disabled plugin IDs alongside disabled roots.
- Preserve a complete cloud catalog when a partial refresh arrives, and cap tool-description plugin attribution at 1,024 bytes while retaining all plugin associations.
## Testing
Add coverage for catalog parsing and reconciliation, enablement and discovery-mode selection, installation refresh ordering, executor-specific MCP normalization, selected-plugin snapshots, and bounded UTF-8 attribution text.
GitOrigin-RevId: a8ad352de6a2b8dc4bfd1ff6a5c62ee8ed1d1664
## What changed
Store dynamic tool specifications in an `Arc<[DynamicToolSpec]>` so session configuration and turn snapshots share the list fixed at thread startup instead of copying it on each clone.
Keep the `dynamic_tools()` accessor returning a `Vec<DynamicToolSpec>`, but copy the specifications after releasing the session state lock.
GitOrigin-RevId: 092c5f9ea6cc390d948c27cd11340aeb12bd6037
## Why
A remote primary environment could supply its working directory and workspace roots to host plugins and MCP processes, breaking relative MCP executable resolution and applying the wrong workspace permissions.
## What changed
- Build host configuration from the local environment, falling back to the session's host working directory and runtime workspace roots when no local environment is selected. Preserve explicitly empty local roots.
- Use the same host configuration for MCP startup and refresh, and refresh MCP state when runtime workspace roots change.
- Keep repository skill discovery paired with the primary executor's working directory and filesystem.
- Box skill warmup and turn context construction futures to reduce enclosing future sizes.
## Testing
Extend the MCP integration test to cover a remote primary with populated, empty, or absent local roots; relative executable resolution before and after refresh; workspace-root revocation; and remote repository skill discovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21a73c90507b55fd94261e7bf348695ff8466a24
## What changed
Pass the parent turn's `cyber_access_program` to Guardian reviewers and asynchronous classifiers. Use `daybreak_blue` for either Daybreak selection, preserve `standard`, and omit `access_programs` when no program is selected.
Capture the selection with the owning turn so asynchronous observations retain it across later turns. Resolve classifier programs using current authentication and the same provider and API-key feature policy as ordinary model requests.
## Testing
Add regression tests for program changes across reused reviewer sessions with API-key and ChatGPT authentication, snapshot and conversation classifiers at low and high risk, and enabled, disabled, and unsupported-provider API-key policies. Verify parent requests retain their selected program.
GitOrigin-RevId: 447f306df3a6bd6805464b819950690c751b04b4
## What changed
- Use the standard shell executor and remove the zsh fork escalation runtime, `codex-execve-wrapper`, and `shell-escalation` crate.
- Ignore `shell_zsh_fork` and `unified_exec_zsh_fork`, emit migration notices for legacy configuration, and warn when ignoring managed requirements for these flags.
- Keep the active session's `apply_patch` alias directory readable under restricted filesystem permissions.
## Testing
Add coverage for legacy configuration startup and shell execution, migration notice rendering, active alias directory selection, and nested `apply_patch` execution while other files in `CODEX_HOME` remain unreadable.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43af461fea32b4980550ee7237effd2bc0646ed8
## What changed
Move `SandboxOverride` into the shared protocol and carry the controller's selection through tool attempts, execution requests, and exec-server process and filesystem sandbox preparation. Include it as `sandboxOverride` in filesystem sandbox contexts for observation without granting broader permissions or altering sandbox commands.
Default missing values to `NoOverride` and omit that value when serializing to preserve compatibility with existing requests.
## Testing
Extend tests to cover override propagation, wire round-trips for all three variants, and deserialization of requests without `sandboxOverride`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2f438cf4aef1134e3149959d14aa731682168ae5
## What changed
Remove `workspace_roots`, `current_date`, `timezone`, `network`, `personality`, and `multi_agent_mode` from `TurnContextItem` and stop recording them in rollouts. Update the precomputed protocol schema accordingly.
Make `summary` optional when reading turn context and write `"none"` as a compatibility placeholder for older readers, rather than persisting the active reasoning-summary setting.
## Testing
Update protocol tests to cover omitted `summary` fields and compatibility-placeholder serialization. Extend compaction tests to verify that model requests retain the updated reasoning-summary setting after compaction while the rollout checkpoint records the placeholder.
GitOrigin-RevId: d49eabaa1b340be1d79f7f09115281a307ea8a64
## Why
Clients starting delegated work need to attribute descendant turns to the original turn and retain that attribution through completion and history reads.
## What changed
- Accept optional `parentTurnId` and `rootTurnId` in `turn/start`, and expose `rootTurnId` on returned turns and lifecycle notifications.
- Default new turns to their own root when none is supplied. Preserve the active turn's root when steering, ignoring incoming lineage fields.
- Carry root IDs through completion, interruption, recovery, and fork boundaries, and persist them for paginated history reads. Leave unknown roots null in older history.
- Update protocol schemas and generated TypeScript and Python bindings.
## Testing
Extend coverage for default and explicit roots, steering without changing lineage, interrupted and recovered turns, history reads after restart in both history modes, nested fork pagination, and compatibility with older database writers.
GitOrigin-RevId: f1a570a12bd11742929fd2e8b017e5d35aa07dcb
## Why
Recovering an interrupted turn replaced its original trigger with `retry` and restored only its root lineage from model context. Turns suspended before that context was written could lose their attribution entirely.
## What changed
- Persist regular-turn attribution in `TurnStartedEvent` and compaction resume metadata, including the trigger, parent and root turn IDs, and initiating agent path.
- Restore matching attribution during recovery, keep unknown triggers absent, and retain the model-context root fallback for older records.
- Reconstruct attribution from surviving turns across rollback and late completion or abort events, and clear inherited attribution when spawning a forked agent.
## Testing
Add coverage for repeated cold recovery, suspension before context persistence, legacy rollouts, fresh attribution on subsequent turns, compaction checkpoints, rollback, and late terminal events.
GitOrigin-RevId: 85b5763e8fbd48a1ea2c07cfda8196e63c2cd33a
## Why
Fast mode previously gated both Fast and Ultra Fast, preventing policies from allowing one while disabling the other.
## What changed
- Add the default-enabled `features.ultrafast_mode` flag and enforce it independently of `features.fast_mode` in service-tier selection, requests, and agent prewarming.
- Filter TUI service-tier commands and selections by the corresponding policy and model catalog support.
- Report `supportsIndependentSpeedModes: true` from `configRequirements/read` and update the protocol schemas and generated bindings. Retain the shared Fast gate when connecting to older servers that omit this capability.
- Preserve legacy cloud speed denials by translating `rbac-fast-mode` fragments with `fast_mode = false` into a denial of both modes, while retaining higher-priority enterprise overrides.
## Testing
Add coverage for all four Fast/Ultra Fast policy combinations in requirements responses and request routing, agent prewarm inheritance, TUI command visibility and saved selections, and legacy cloud denial normalization and override precedence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 147e08524c4b228ea9d46b25a9f8aa64c359e169
## Why
Environment changes and overlapping catalog refreshes can cause a step to use another step's selected plugins or executor skills. Model context and skill tools need to agree on the capabilities captured for that step.
## What changed
- Resolve selected plugins from each step's ready capability roots, honoring disabled plugins, and retain the snapshot with the step's extension data.
- Use that snapshot for skill attribution in World State and the first step's active-plugin telemetry.
- Return executor skill catalogs directly from refresh so overlapping requests render their own results while retaining thread caches.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for overlapping executor catalogs and environment changes during step preparation. Verify that `skills.list` retains the original step's skills, the next step advertises the new skills, and disabled executor and plugin skills remain absent from model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 37d3cbe8c7e062fd06290aa985ada4d3b3462d43
## Why
`codex exec` and the TypeScript SDK need a way to request a Cyber access program for an individual turn. Resuming with an API key can also leave compaction using a saved program that the current credentials cannot access.
## What changed
- Add `--cyber-access-program` with `standard`, `daybreak_blue`, and `daybreak_red`, and expose the equivalent `cyberAccessProgram` turn option and `CyberAccessProgram` type in the TypeScript SDK.
- Apply explicit selections to new, resumed, and prompted fork turns. Override automatic Daybreak selection for that turn without changing the saved choice. Reject the flag for review and forks without a prompt.
- Filter Cyber programs by the built-in OpenAI provider when starting turns and restoring previous-turn settings for compaction.
- Allow previous-model compaction fallback with API-key authentication, comparing both model and program so a program change can trigger a retry with the current pair even when the model is unchanged.
## Testing
Add CLI help, argument parsing, exec, and SDK coverage for per-turn selection and unsupported commands. Extend core tests for API-key compaction retries, denied explicit selections, custom-provider filtering, remote compaction, and WebSocket response reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: 586f25b621924f3bc509c9a39b39fe2020ff9cd2
## Why
Executor skill reads need to use the environments and permissions captured for the current step, including newly approved grants. Cached continuation pages must remain bound to the filesystem and permissions that produced them.
## What changed
- Supply borrowed `EnvironmentAccess` to turn-input contributors and extension tools, with session and originating-turn grants already applied.
- Require executor skill reads to use filesystem access from an environment available to the callback, and replace separate optional read contexts with `SkillReadContext`.
- Bind skill pagination snapshots to `EnvironmentAccessKey`, which identifies the source filesystem and callback permissions.
- Route image-generation filesystem operations through the same accessor.
## Testing
Extend skill-read integration coverage to verify that a denied reference becomes readable after a turn-scoped grant is captured by the next model step. Update Windows coverage to verify that restricted reads fail when the executor cannot enforce a sandbox, and add a test requiring turn environment selection before exposing capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 825b49302319965835d61c77fc5bcdb951e10543
## Why
Background code-mode cells can continue running after a new turn starts. Looking up grants and strict review requirements through the active turn can make those cells lose their approved access or use another turn's permissions.
## What changed
- Keep turn-scoped grants and strict review state in `TurnContext`, retained by captured steps and background cells.
- Record permission responses against the requesting turn, including requests made after a later turn starts.
- Share live session-scoped grants across turns while keeping turn-scoped grants isolated.
- Use the originating turn's permissions and review requirements for tool execution, patches, MCP calls, file uploads, and terminal input.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for background cells retaining grants across turn changes, turn versus session scope, permission requests after the next turn starts, and strict review enabled while `write_stdin` is queued.
GitOrigin-RevId: 641502fbfd43553c2c42424d4aaa53ae8020c850
## What changed
Add `turn_extension_init` to thread startup and settings, and expose `WithTurnExtensionData` for turn input, recovery, and settings requests. Accept or reject data updates together with the request that supplies them.
Each new turn captures the configured data, including automatically started turns. Accepted steering updates the data for future turns while preserving the running turn's capture. Plain requests preserve the configured data; an empty initializer clears it. The data is not persisted and must be supplied again on cold resume.
Expose `current_turn_extension_data` to retrieve typed data only when the requested turn is still running and has not been cancelled.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering initial capture, accepted and rejected steering, inheritance by an automatic turn, clearing future data without changing the active capture, and rejection of lookups for an earlier turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd81eda3e32c7b62d783c772221858f4c0e68264
## Why
Guardian does not consume skills, but host skill discovery can block its startup or turn creation when the primary executor is offline.
## What changed
Skip plugin and skill warmup during Guardian session initialization, and use an empty host skills snapshot when building Guardian turn contexts.
## Testing
Add a regression test that discovers skills for the parent session, disconnects its primary executor, and verifies that Guardian still reviews and denies a network permission request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3c12129721c82cb78a3fa618d6b05faea631966a
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::prewarm_with_history()` to prepare a WebSocket response with existing conversation history and executed-tool metadata using `generate: false`. The next turn can reuse the prepared response when its prompt extends that history and request settings match.
- Keep startup prewarming and `prewarm()` on the existing empty-input path, and skip preparation when the cached WebSocket is ready.
- Label prewarm telemetry by input mode and WebSocket continuation metrics with `after_prewarm`.
- Rename `persistent_mode_enabled` to `persistent_execution_enabled` without changing its behavior.
## Testing
Extend WebSocket coverage to check history preservation during reconnect prewarming, reuse of the prepared response on the next turn, and omission of `previous_response_id` for a non-prefix prompt.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7731541b11b2e6668027a47f37f696213268c66
## What changed
Add `Features::persistent_mode_enabled` and use it for persistent instructions and current-time reminder defaults. Enablement still requires `ReasoningEffort::Persistent`.
Change `PersistentModeState::new` to accept an explicit enablement boolean, separating instruction rendering from reasoning-effort selection.
## Testing
Update persistent-context tests to use boolean enablement while preserving coverage for instruction replacement, removal, deduplication, and retained history without a snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: f412b90d783438d1526956a56c11b9e66385ee0e
## 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
Explicit user goal edits can restrict permitted actions, such as “Inspect only; do not publish.” Guardian needs these edits as authorization evidence even though they are recorded as contextual messages.
## What changed
- Add `UserGoalUpdate` and a recording API for objective, status, and clear updates without scheduling a model response.
- Use host annotations to retain goal updates in Guardian review history and root authorization evidence, and invalidate cached authorization when updates are recorded.
- Omit oversized objectives whole and mark their evidence incomplete so truncation cannot turn a restriction into a grant.
- Keep item injection from updating shared model and multi-agent metadata.
## Testing
Extend authorization, retained-context, and review snapshot tests to cover goal-edit cache invalidation, root goal visibility from child threads, and restrictive goals reaching Guardian alongside managed policies.
GitOrigin-RevId: 17b99d9fa8c1620840d6f408d79b405a78a778f8
## Why
A realtime call can start or end while a text turn is still running. Using call activity captured at turn creation leaves subsequent model requests with stale realtime context.
## What changed
Capture realtime activity and mode instructions together in a `StepContext` snapshot for each model request. Use that snapshot to build realtime instructions and persist `realtime_active` in the request's turn context. Store the conversation and mode instructions under one mutex so they are installed together when a call starts.
## Testing
Extend the realtime handoff integration test to start and close a call during one text turn, verifying that successive requests include the appropriate start and end instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4c5c2b47b7c0c06ae28167013218dc2e3cd72c42
## What changed
- Add `environments` to `TurnSettingsUpdate` to replace the selection for subsequent steps without changing future turns.
- Capture model settings and environments together so combined updates apply or reject atomically, while existing steps retain their captured selection.
- Validate environment IDs, working directories, configuration ownership, and permission requirements against the running turn's selections.
- Preserve executor startup behavior when switching environments and use the step's local working directory for tool hooks.
## Testing
Add coverage for workspace switching and restoration on the next turn, atomic model and environment updates, permission validation, executor connection waits, and replacement of pending environment selections.
GitOrigin-RevId: 02b5c57a78fd594b2aed84fc09d9e99eb97be28c
## Why
When a selected environment is unavailable, permission fallbacks can use the turn's initial environment and workspace roots. Daemon recovery can also miss a local environment that finishes starting after the turn begins.
## What changed
- Resolve fallback permissions from thread defaults using the captured selection's workspace root URIs, including when setup is starting or has failed.
- Apply this resolution to Guardian reviews, permission instructions, and sandbox context selection.
- Capture daemon recovery from the latest step inputs and refresh environment readiness before checking recovery eligibility.
## Testing
Add regression tests for Guardian resolving project-root restrictions against an unavailable captured environment's workspace and for daemon recovery including a local environment that finishes starting during a turn.

## Why
Background processes can outlive their launching turn. Their approval reviews need the originating environment's filesystem restrictions, even when the active turn uses a different environment. Remote restrictions must also be resolved using executor paths rather than the local filesystem.
## What changed
- Capture settings and environment selections together in `StepInputs`. Preserve the captured selection during active model updates while allowing environment startup to finish.
- Carry environment IDs into Guardian network and `execve` requests, and use the owning process's environment with current review settings. Refresh environment readiness for network requests that fall back to the active turn.
- Resolve remote denied paths and globs using the executor's policy context. Decline automatic approval when the request's environment is unavailable or an explicitly denied temporary directory cannot be resolved.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for active model updates retaining their environment while the next turn adopts a new selection, background approvals using their owning environment, newly ready network environments, and remote denied paths and globs, including Windows paths and missing temporary-directory metadata.

## What changed
- Remove the private-desktop opt-out from elevated and unelevated Windows sandbox launches.
- Remove `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` and its managed requirement and API fields. Warn users to remove the obsolete setting.
- Require a private desktop name when launching through the Windows sandbox wrapper and command runner.
## Testing
Add coverage for the obsolete-setting migration warning and update wrapper tests to verify a live private desktop is passed and a missing desktop name is rejected.

## Why
Recording response items in an initialized thread builds a turn context without starting a turn. Running host skill discovery for that context is unnecessary.
## What changed
Use a dedicated context build mode that skips host skill discovery for history injection. Preserve full discovery for initial context creation, startup prewarming, and execution. If compaction clears the reference context during preparation, rebuild a full context before initializing history.
## Testing
Add a regression test verifying that initial injection discovers skills, subsequent injection records items without discovery, and a real turn still discovers skills and sends the selected skill body and both injected messages to the model.

## Why
Credential changes can leave the in-memory model catalog associated with a different identity, causing subsequent turns to use bundled model metadata instead of the active credentials' catalog.
## What changed
- Refresh mismatched catalogs before user turns and mailbox-triggered wakeups, resolving lazy command credentials before comparing identities.
- Reuse a matching cache or fetch models with a five-second deadline covering auth resolution and cache access. Preserve fallback behavior on failure or timeout; static catalogs need no refresh.
- Recheck the active turn after discovery so an interrupted wakeup does not continue starting a turn.
## Testing
Add coverage for user and mailbox turns after credential rotation, including switching back after another identity replaces the shared catalog. Verify refreshed context windows and request behavior, fallback on discovery failure or auth timeout, and command-auth token rotation.

## What changed
Add `active_plugin_ids_at_turn_start` to turn analytics, combining active host plugins with selected plugin packages. Prefer remote plugin IDs when present and otherwise use validated package IDs. Sort and deduplicate the inventory.
Report `null` for unknown inventories, invalid IDs, IDs longer than 128 bytes, or inventories exceeding 512 distinct IDs; preserve `[]` for an observed empty inventory. Keep the first received inventory even when later resolved configuration updates arrive.
## Testing
Add coverage for ID selection and validation, deduplication, size limits, serialization, and preservation of the first inventory. Extend app-server tests to check inventories after plugin reconciliation and with selected plugins, including turns without explicit plugin mentions.

## Why
Updating environment selections while a turn is running must not redirect its tools or prevent its pending environment setup from completing.
## What changed
- Store future environment selections separately from active environments, and activate them when preparing new work with no task running.
- Keep turn contexts and MCP workspace roots tied to the active environment snapshot. Report saved selections through thread settings and `environment_selections()`.
- Route environment configuration and failure callbacks to matching active or future selections so each can finish setup independently.
- Stop the running task before manual compaction adopts the saved environments.
## Testing
Add regression tests that preserve a running task's working directory and workspace roots, then adopt the saved selection for the next task. Add remote environment coverage showing that future setup can complete while the active turn waits, with each turn receiving its own capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 09a6b90131d2ab2441ce2fe9b0368a3668889f31
## What changed
- Accept `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` and preserve the selected backend through environment configuration, command execution, patch writes, and sandbox metadata.
- Treat MXC as enabled in the TUI and report Windows sandbox readiness as `ready`, avoiding legacy setup prompts.
- Keep `allowed_sandbox_implementations` scoped to the legacy elevated and unelevated backends without restricting MXC.
- Default `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to `false` for MXC while retaining `true` for legacy sandboxes.
## Testing
Add coverage for MXC configuration precedence, legacy requirement handling, sandbox selection, and TUI state. Add a Wine integration test that verifies command and patch routing fails when native MXC is unavailable and reports `windows_mxc` in turn metadata.

## Why
Removing the selected working directory can prevent filesystem sandbox helpers from launching, even when the requested absolute paths remain accessible. Permission rules must stay anchored to the selected directory while those operations continue.
## What changed
- Require a policy `cwd` in `FileSystemSandboxContext` and launch filesystem helpers from the filesystem root while preserving the policy directory and workspace roots.
- Carry explicit `policyContext` in filesystem RPCs, preserving legacy wire fields and resolving omitted directories from older clients at executor ingress.
- Keep permission paths as executor file URIs and validate host compatibility where they are enforced.
- Bind Windows relative denial globs to the policy directory before changing the helper's launch directory, preserving home-relative patterns.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for `apply_patch` after working-directory removal, legacy RPC directory fallbacks, cross-platform permission URI transport, and Windows relative read denials. The patch regression verifies that an allowed file is updated while an explicitly denied file remains unreadable and unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: b0f4db722b27cb72ec129fc297c85732afac11f7
## Why
Executor profile roots can use path conventions that are not native to the current host. Converting them to host paths during configuration or turn reconstruction can reject or drop those roots, while case-insensitive comparison can hide Windows path spelling changes.
## What changed
- Store profile roots as URI-backed `ProfileWorkspaceRoot` values throughout permission snapshots and thread settings, preserving spelling in equality and deduplication.
- Keep effective workspace roots as `PathUri` values for permission materialization and status summaries. Convert Windows sandbox root hints to native paths only at native Windows sandbox boundaries, rejecting incompatible roots.
- Omit the legacy rollout `workspace_roots` field when profile roots cannot be represented as host paths, retaining the compiled permission profile.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for Windows and UNC root spelling changes, settings restoration and turn recording with foreign roots, executor-root status display, and backend-specific Windows root conversion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 903c068fd74959bdd10e7cb1141aa42b953a59a4
## What changed
- Accept and ignore `features.personality` in user configuration, profiles, and managed requirements.
- Remove feature gating from `personality = "none"`, which strips the literal `# Personality` section when preparing model catalog instructions. Preserve explicit base instructions and existing thread instructions.
- Document deprecated personality fields in configuration, app-server schemas, and the Python SDK: `friendly` and `pragmatic` no longer select a style, and `supportsPersonality` is always `false`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for ignored legacy flag values and managed requirements, personality opt-out behavior with the flag absent or set to either value, role overrides, and preservation of explicit base instructions, including empty strings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4e12c66b42bfc59d6f151a5b3c28fadc6654ae99
## Why
MXC is a sandbox implementation, not a restricted-token sandbox level. Executor requests need to represent that choice separately from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
## What changed
- Introduce `WindowsSandboxSelection` for executor sandbox contexts and remove `Mxc` from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
- Preserve the `windowsSandboxLevel` wire field and its serialized values for compatibility.
- Share sandbox selection between executor process launches and filesystem helpers, and use the new selection in capability discovery and skill reads.
- Disable Windows sandbox selection for executor paths that do not use Windows path conventions.
## Testing
Extend coverage for MXC wire serialization, Windows skill-read sandbox checks, and capability discovery with distinct permissions. Exercise remote filesystem write restrictions with both restricted-token and MXC sandboxes, including rejection when native MXC is unavailable.
