## What changed
- Add the experimental `thread/revert` request, which replaces a loaded paginated thread's durable history with the prefix before `beforeTurnId` while preserving the thread ID.
- Interrupt any active turn, reload the replacement history without unloading the thread, preserve mutable thread settings, and emit `thread/reverted`.
- Return backward pagination cursors for the retained turns and items, reject stale rollout paths after a revert, and document that local file changes are unaffected.
## Testing
- Cover history replacement, pagination, stale paths, missing turns, subsequent turns, active-turn interruption, and preserved thread settings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 435a8163ad4f310cc47219b436f6bdde21f2b83a
## What changed
- Extend `account/usage/read` with an optional `threadId` request and a
backward-compatible `threadUsage` response containing estimated credits,
optional USD cost, and model, reasoning, speed, and token breakdowns.
- Fetch thread usage for eligible Business and Enterprise plans when `/status`
is opened, then update the rendered status card asynchronously.
- Preserve terminal scrollback when replacing a visible status-card tail, and
append a refreshed card when the original tail can no longer be updated.
## Testing
- Add app-server coverage for authentication, canonical thread IDs,
unavailable billing routes, and malformed IDs.
- Add TUI coverage for usage formatting, stale responses, retries, history
updates, terminal reflow, and scrollback preservation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 49300914b3fba917c0f08e8595363e04e5ba6d37
## What changed
- Add `--oauth-client-registration` with `auto` and `dcr` choices to `codex mcp add` and `codex mcp login`.
- Add the equivalent optional `clientRegistration` field to `mcpServer/oauth/login` and the generated protocol schemas.
- Keep automatic dynamic client registration as the default, prefer a configured OAuth client ID when present, and apply the selection only to the current login without persisting it in MCP configuration.
## Testing
- Cover dynamic registration and configured-client OAuth flows through the app server.
- Verify the CLI does not persist the per-login registration choice.
GitOrigin-RevId: 653a4a1054ff43c2c5d52ae863b6a96d21692a53
## What changed
- Add an optional `threadId` parameter to `app/read`.
- When provided, load the thread's effective configuration before applying app feature gating, workspace policy, and plugin attribution.
- Share the thread-aware configuration loader with `app/list`.
## Testing
- Add coverage showing that `app/read` honors a thread-level connector feature override.
GitOrigin-RevId: 161e910a2d7435ecf4acd0ba9f5f5069d1631f12
## Why
Clients need to correlate a remote plugin installation request with a specific
installation attempt.
## What changed
- Add the optional `installAttemptId` field to `PluginInstallParams`.
- Forward the value as `install_attempt_id` in the remote plugin install POST
body.
- Preserve the existing empty request body when the field is omitted.
## Testing
- Cover protocol serialization and remote install request bodies with and
without an attempt ID.
GitOrigin-RevId: ffdceff4f9329b650848e6428a9ba39646c242c3
## Why
External agent detection can spend time reading session transcripts. Sharing the
configuration serialization queue causes unrelated configuration requests to
wait for detection to finish.
## What changed
- Give `externalAgentConfig/detect` its own global serialization queue.
- Keep configuration reads, requirements reads, writes, and external agent
imports responsive while detection is still running.
## Testing
Add a Unix app-server test that blocks transcript detection on a FIFO and
verifies the unrelated requests complete before detection is released.
GitOrigin-RevId: d2764dcdb0e96d810c790c570c48fa45690a3dc1
## What changed
- Add the experimental `server/diagnostics` request, returning the app-server process ID, resident memory, platform-dependent physical footprint, and registered diagnostic gauges.
- Export the new protocol types in the generated JSON and TypeScript schemas and document the request.
## Testing
- Verify the response includes process measurements and the registered live-thread gauge.
- Verify the request is rejected unless `capabilities.experimentalApi` is enabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 099d60a9c421a74ff1a72fe524e0dfeb89cf1057
## 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
- 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
- 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
## What changed
- Add the experimental `plugin/search` request with search term, scope, working-directory, cursor, and limit parameters.
- Define paginated results that include each plugin's marketplace name and optional local marketplace path.
- Route the request through app server while returning method-not-found until the search implementation is available.
## Testing
- Add an app-server test that verifies `plugin/search` returns JSON-RPC error `-32601` with the expected not-implemented message.
GitOrigin-RevId: 755400468331f0887f7da7d933195c347aadf6d0
## What changed
- Add `threadSection/create`, `threadSection/update`, and `threadSection/delete` app-server methods, with generated protocol schemas and TypeScript bindings.
- Persist custom sections in SQLite with stable UUIDv7 identities, trim and validate display names, and prevent renaming or deleting the built-in pinned section.
- Delete sections transactionally and return their active and archived threads to the unsectioned list.
- Serialize section mutations with section listing so concurrent requests observe ordered updates.
## Testing
- Cover section persistence across restarts, ordered renames, member cleanup on deletion, invalid requests, unsupported stores, and thread-store/state-runtime behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: dc9a4be283c21dbc93ab1829eafc4825d8df6575
## Why
Normal app-server protocol builds do not need the `ts-rs` and `schemars`
implementations used to generate schema exports.
## What changed
- Embed compressed stable and experimental TypeScript and JSON schema exports,
and serve the existing export APIs from those artifacts.
- Use no-op schema derives in non-test builds while keeping the real generators
available for fixture regeneration and tests.
- Move schema fixture regeneration behind a Python helper and update
`just write-app-server-schema --experimental` to refresh the experimental
embedded exports.
## Testing
- Verify embedded exports match freshly generated stable and experimental
schemas.
- Verify export options and on-disk output remain compatible.
GitOrigin-RevId: e8536338b457e6eec34bdf29ec0684144bd13734
## What changed
- Add `thread/section/move` to atomically move a thread into, within, or out of a section. Threads can be inserted before an existing member or appended, and moves within a section preserve `sectionEnteredAt`.
- Add `section_position` sorting to `thread/list`, with ascending order as its default, and expose `sectionEnteredAt` in thread responses.
- Persist section positions and entry times in SQLite, including migration of existing section members into recency order. Section membership is no longer updated through `thread/metadata/update`.
## Testing
- Cover section moves, reordering, pagination, persistence across restarts and rollout reconciliation, concurrent updates, and rank renumbering.
GitOrigin-RevId: aec6d7ddedca5277029b5caf5c074975397e956c
## What changed
- Keep `ClientResponsePayload` typed through the app-server outgoing queue and serialize it at the transport boundary, avoiding an intermediate `serde_json::Value` while preserving the JSON-RPC wire shape.
- Return a JSON-RPC internal error when a response cannot be serialized, including over remote control, and skip unserializable analytics responses.
- Scan reverse JSONL input a chunk at a time with a larger buffer instead of processing each byte individually.
## Testing
- Cover typed response serialization and serialization failures for direct and remote-control transports.
- Cover filtering unserializable responses from analytics.
GitOrigin-RevId: cc4fd7a43461a273315bb95261bd1ae3ff65fbf7
## What changed
- Replace the `isPinned` thread metadata and filters with an optional persisted
`section` and `sectionId`.
- Add the paginated `threadSection/list` app-server method so clients can
discover sections even when they contain no threads.
- Seed a stable `Pinned` section, validate section assignments, and support
filtering for a specific section or for unsectioned threads.
## Testing
- Cover section protocol serialization, listing and pagination, metadata
updates, filtering, persistence, migration compatibility, and operation
without SQLite state.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7972b5471d29317b9387bfd90aa9f573f691ad4c
## Why
Clients that complete an external agent config import outside the app server need a way to include the result in import history.
## What changed
- Add `externalAgentConfig/import/recordHistory` to persist completed item results and return a generated import ID.
- Store the optional provider ID for regular imports and expose it when reading import history.
- Update the generated JSON and TypeScript protocol schemas for the new request, response, and history field.
## Testing
- Cover recording and reading an externally completed import through the app-server protocol.
- Cover provider ID persistence and updates in the state runtime.
GitOrigin-RevId: 935401e899ec9eeb38f54c182e45a16642411deb
## What changed
- Add `isPinned` to thread responses and allow `thread/metadata/update` to pin or unpin stored threads.
- Add an `isPinned` filter to `thread/list`, including cursor-based pagination and combinations with relationship filters.
- Persist pin state in SQLite without modifying rollout files, default existing threads to unpinned, and preserve pins through reconciliation and archive transitions.
## Testing
- Cover protocol serialization, database migration and indexing, pin updates, filtered pagination, rollout reconciliation, and archive/unarchive behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: c2eacabd6dae465e2ae6ce8a169e00740960cdb7
## What changed
- Route realtime V3 `bemTags` handoffs using `[ANALYSIS]`, `[COMMENTARY]`, and `[FINAL]` prefixes by default.
- Add `codexResponseHandoffChannelPrefixes` to realtime start requests so clients can replace the accepted prefixes for individual channels. Each channel may accept multiple prefixes, and omitted channels retain their defaults.
- Apply the configured prefixes to both complete and streamed handoff messages, without treating empty prefixes as matches.
## Testing
- Cover request deserialization, default and custom routing, partial streamed prefixes, empty-prefix handling, and end-to-end V3 handoffs.
GitOrigin-RevId: d0aef50aa71362a5beef2c6f6d28b8633da4e529
## What changed
- Use `ClientRequest::method_name()` directly when preparing typed request
diagnostics for in-process and remote clients.
- Allocate the owned method name only when constructing an error.
- Remove the serialization-based method lookup and the redundant allocating
`ClientRequest::method()` helper.
GitOrigin-RevId: 93859e512a4f20204e0db4f929a2baebe4374ec5
## What changed
- Decode `JSONRPCRequest` into `ClientRequest` without serializing the entire request back into an intermediate JSON value.
- Define every client method's wire name explicitly and use it directly for request, response, and tracing method lookups.
- Serialize outgoing transport messages directly to JSON strings instead of first building a `serde_json::Value`.
## Testing
- Add regression coverage that compares direct request conversion with Serde decoding, including omitted and null parameters, legacy methods, and unknown methods.
- Verify that direct outgoing-message serialization preserves the notification wire shape.
GitOrigin-RevId: 304e14bcaea24e32743bf852a60a208e2f273db3
## What changed
- Add the optional `forceRefetch` boolean to `PluginListParams` and generated schemas.
- Accept both omitted and enabled values without changing `plugin/list` behavior yet.
- Cover deserialization of the enabled value in the protocol tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: fd4145161e9779638bc0bf18118d5ab5b8478745
## What changed
- Add an optional `initialItems` field to `thread/realtime/start` for seeding
realtime V3 session history with `user`, `developer`, and `assistant` text.
- Encode the items in Frameless Bidi session bootstrap payloads for websocket
and WebRTC transports while preserving existing payloads when the list is
omitted or empty.
- Reject non-empty initial items for V1 and V2, more than 128 items, any item
over 8,192 estimated tokens, or a combined total over 8,192 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover protocol serialization, app-server forwarding, websocket and WebRTC
payloads, empty-list compatibility, version checks, and size limits.
GitOrigin-RevId: 09af367f9a07543e3f8d59b7fa5387f932dc5a6a
## What changed
- Add the experimental `thread/searchOccurrences` app-server method for case-insensitive literal search across visible user messages and final assistant messages without replaying the thread.
- Return paginated snippets with UTF-16 match ranges and `thread/turns/list` cursors for navigating to each matching turn.
- Index persisted item types to efficiently select searchable messages from paginated thread history.
## Testing
- Add an app-server integration test covering pagination, steering messages, final-answer selection, Markdown normalization, and UTF-16 offsets.
GitOrigin-RevId: e80160e0f83eb4e5db8de862307085093bee362b
## What changed
- Add `codexResponseHandoffMode` to `thread/realtime/start` for V3 sessions, with `thinking` as the default and `commentary` and `bemTags` routing modes.
- Map BEM `analysis` and `commentary` output to the commentary channel and `final` output to the speakable channel, while preserving the original BEM envelope. Unrecognized output falls back to speakable.
- Mark explicit speech appends as speakable and stop adding the legacy `"Agent Final Message"` prefix to V3 handoffs. V1 and V2 continue to ignore the new setting.
## Testing
- Cover channel selection for every routing mode, streamed BEM header parsing, fallback behavior, explicit speech, and V1 compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1974578257488f2914b252c9c1990ba38831c96b
## What changed
- Stream V3 agent message deltas to `delegation.context.append` at 200 ms intervals instead of waiting for each completed message.
- Send commentary without a prefix and label final or phase-less V1/V3 output with `"Agent Final Message":`.
- Bound streamed output while preserving both its beginning and final tail when truncation is required.
- Remove `codexResponseHandoffPrefix` from `thread/realtime/start`; unknown fields from older clients remain ignored.
## Testing
- Cover incremental V3 commentary and final output, Unicode-safe truncation, V1/V3 phase labeling, and legacy request compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 633c18b5eb9a4f5756a264b63b7bfc185b073951
## What changed
- Add `app/installed` to return each connector observed in the committed runtime tool snapshot, including its runtime name and effective `enabled` and `callable` state.
- Support evaluating thread-specific configuration with `threadId` and refreshing the hosted connector tool snapshot with `forceRefresh`.
- Preserve observed connector identities as disabled when global or workspace policy disables Apps, and retain the previous snapshot when a refresh fails.
## Testing
- Cover cached and forced reads, policy and configuration filtering, thread-specific configuration, snapshot refresh failures, and protocol serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: f697b6fb501b7d329a169e947a1c1607806222fe
## Why
Multi-agent V2 spawned threads are controlled by their parent and reject direct
app-server input. The TUI should expose that ownership instead of presenting an
input flow that the server will reject.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `Thread.canAcceptDirectInput` capability for loaded
threads and populate it from the same policy used to validate `turn/start`
and `turn/steer`. Stored, unloaded threads report `null`.
- Carry the capability through TUI thread discovery, selection, startup, and
resume flows, with a compatibility fallback for older app servers.
- Present parent-owned threads as view-only, preserve drafts and queued input,
block agent-directed commands and settings shortcuts, and keep local
navigation and inspection commands available.
## Testing
- Cover V1 writable and V2 view-only spawned threads through selection and
resume.
- Cover composer submission paths, queued and initial input preservation,
allowed navigation commands, settings shortcuts, and the view-only UI.
GitOrigin-RevId: 495ad051249e5577fb0b0c1cc8c40a0998d04918
## What changed
- Allow the built-in `amazon-bedrock` provider to override `base_url`, `auth`,
and `http_headers` in addition to its AWS profile and region.
- Use command-based bearer authentication and configured endpoints without
applying AWS request signing, while retaining regional endpoint resolution
for the default Bedrock configuration.
- Replace the Bedrock account `credentialSource` enum with the
`usesCodexManagedCredentials` boolean so command-authenticated and other
externally managed configurations are reported consistently.
## Testing
- Cover configuration merging and validation, command-authenticated proxy
requests with custom headers, and account reporting for managed and external
credentials.
GitOrigin-RevId: d1acbe602060470583b5e12f8d304bee5be46f4c
## What changed
- Add the experimental `app/read` request for fetching metadata for up to 100
app IDs, with optional display-only tool summaries.
- Preserve first-request order while deduplicating IDs, and report unknown or
unauthorized apps as partial misses.
- Cache metadata by backend and ChatGPT account/workspace identity, refetch
metadata-only entries when tools are requested, and preserve cached records
when a backend request fails.
## Testing
- Cover request serialization, ordering, deduplication, partial misses, caching,
tool-summary refetches, backend failures, cache isolation, and the ID limit.
GitOrigin-RevId: 55fc3281d99291e76d6c4a581e8d11569d3cb1ac
## What changed
- Add realtime conversation version `v3`, which preserves the V1 Codex Voice behavior while using Frameless Bidi `delegation.*` events.
- Translate audio, transcripts, handoffs, session context, and lifecycle events between the app server and the Frameless Bidi wire protocol.
- Support `v3` over WebSocket and WebRTC, including the Frameless `/live` endpoint, session configuration, headers, and default model selection.
- Update the app-server protocol schemas and documentation for the new version.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for Frameless event parsing, outbound messages, context chunking, URL construction, and call creation.
- Add app-server end-to-end coverage for WebSocket delegation and WebRTC session startup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 79a3307bc209e1a54582ebd2febc07c909fca016
## What changed
- Track connected and disconnected states across initial remote exec-server connections and reconnection attempts.
- Emit experimental `thread/environment/connected` and `thread/environment/disconnected` app-server notifications for each thread selecting the environment. Each payload identifies the thread and environment; current state is not replayed when a thread starts.
- Stop forwarding connection events when an environment selection is removed or replaced.
## Testing
- Cover connection, disconnection, reconnection, shared-environment notifications, and replacement of a selected environment.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5dd767372363c4a2a8319fc16164be117d5bd20c
## Why
Clients that account for individual upstream Responses API calls need the exact
usage for each completion rather than accumulated or estimated thread usage.
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `rawResponse/completed` app-server notification with the
`threadId`, `turnId`, `responseId`, and upstream `usage` payload.
- Emit the transient event for normal turns and compaction requests when
`experimentalRawEvents` is enabled. The event is not persisted or replayed,
and `usage` is `null` when the upstream response omits it.
- Export the notification in the app-server schemas and document its behavior.
## Testing
- Cover exact token breakdowns for turn and compaction completions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 49040a060bf1784c1ff1dd62112efb4a778428c4
## What changed
- Add the experimental `environment/status` request for inspecting a configured environment without starting or reconnecting it.
- Report `ready`, `pending`, `disconnected`, or `unknown`, including error details for disconnected and unknown environments.
- Probe ready remote environments over their existing exec-server connection.
## Testing
- Add an app-server integration test covering local and remote ready, pending, disconnected, and unknown environments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 397bba603aa9e0b59008ee6cb7cbde46e357652c
## What changed
- Add an optional `emittedAtMs` field to server notification envelopes and expose the envelope in the generated JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Populate the Unix timestamp when app-server emits a notification, before transport routing, so every connection in a fan-out receives the same value.
- Keep the field optional for clients decoding notifications from older app-server versions.
## Testing
- Verify notification serialization includes `emittedAtMs`.
- Verify targeted fan-out reuses one timestamp across connections.
GitOrigin-RevId: b379cb11e8e91c558bcd3d46ce459311a6e81e54
## Why
App-server clients can report whether Amazon Bedrock is using
AWS-managed credentials or a Codex-managed API key, but they do not have
a matching API for creating the managed login. This PR defines that
experimental wire contract independently from its implementation.
Managed Bedrock API keys are already a primary `CodexAuth` mode. The API
therefore describes a normal Codex login that replaces the current
stored auth rather than introducing provider-scoped credential storage.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `amazonBedrock` variant to `account/login/start`.
- Accept an API key and AWS region and return a matching discriminated
response.
- Gate the request behind the app-server `experimentalApi` capability.
- Regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol schemas.
- Document the login contract, notifications, primary-auth replacement
semantics, restart boundary, and non-transactional durable writes.
## Impact
This PR defines the API shape but does not implement login behavior. The
next PR adds validation, persistence through the existing Codex auth
lifecycle, provider selection, and notifications.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Stack
1. **#31327 Managed Bedrock experimental API** — base: `main`
2. #31326 Managed Bedrock login — base: `codex/managed-bedrock-api`
3. #31325 Managed Bedrock logout — base:
`codex/managed-bedrock-login-v2`
## What
Adds an optional hosted login-success redirect path for app-server login
requests.
- Keeps the existing localhost success page as the default.
- Lets app-server callers opt into a hosted success page with an
optional protocol field.
- Persists credentials before redirecting to the hosted success page.
- Keeps org setup and existing CLI/device-code login flows on the local
success page.
- Accepts an optional typed `appBrand` value and forwards it to the
hosted page as `app_brand` so web can select the correct asset.
- Generates the app-server protocol schema updates for the new optional
fields.
## Why
This supports the hosted Codex login success page rollout without
changing existing login behavior by default. The Codex Apps frontend can
gate the opt-in with Statsig after the hosted web page.
## Rollout safety
- Old callers omit the new field and continue using localhost.
- New callers talking to old app-server builds remain safe because the
Codex Apps side treats the field as optional and defaults the flag off.
- Missing brand values default to Codex.
- The hosted redirect always uses the app-login source so the hosted
page can reopen Codex; the existing streamlined-login visual flag
remains separate.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-login -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server -p codex-app-server-test-client -p codex-tui`
- `just test -p codex-login`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `git diff HEAD --check`
The focused login and protocol run passed all 380 tests.
I also started the broader `just test -p codex-app-server`; it compiled
successfully, then many tests failed on this machine because spawned
test servers tried to use the ambient `/Users/rafaelj/.codex/sqlite`
state DB, which is read-only in this sandbox. I stopped that run after
confirming the failures shared that environment issue.
## Why
A realtime session can end after more transcript has accumulated than
was included in its last handoff. That tail already lives in core's
active transcript state, but the stop path aborted the realtime
input/fanout tasks before routing it, so the final bit of the
conversation could disappear before `thread/realtime/closed`.
This behavior is still being evaluated, so clients must opt in per
realtime session. Omitted or false leaves shutdown behavior unchanged.
## What changed
- Add optional `flushTranscriptTailOnSessionEnd` to
`thread/realtime/start`, defaulting to false in app-server.
- Expose an idempotent `take_transcript_tail()` from the existing active
transcript state using `last_handoff_entry_count`.
- When enabled, let shutdown cancel the input owner cleanly and publish
at most one final existing `<realtime_delegation>` with the remaining
text in `<transcript_delta>`.
- Have the existing fanout drain already-parsed events before routing
that final delegation, so a queued handoff wins first and is not
duplicated in the tail.
- Flush realtime shutdown before ordinary session task abort during core
cleanup.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
realtime_conversation_stop_emits_closed_notification`
- `just test -p codex-core conversation_transport_close_`
- `just test -p codex-core
conversation_close_routes_only_remaining_transcript_tail_once`
- scoped `just fix` for `codex-app-server-protocol`, `codex-app-server`,
`codex-protocol`, and `codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Why
App-server clients that configure named execution environments need to
discover an environment's shell and working directory before selecting
it for a thread or turn. Because the environment can run on a different
operating system than app-server, its working directory is represented
as a canonical `file:` URI rather than a host-local path string. The
probe also needs a bounded response time: an exec-server that completes
initialization but never answers `environment/info` must not hold the
environment serialization queue indefinitely.
## What changed
- Add an experimental `environment/info` app-server RPC for named
environments.
- Route the probe through the managed environment connection and return
target-native shell metadata plus the default working directory as a
`PathUri`.
- Return connection and protocol failures as JSON-RPC errors.
- Bound the exec-server probe response to 30 seconds and remove
timed-out calls from the pending-request table so later environment
mutations can proceed.
- Cover successful responses, omitted working directories, unknown
environments, connection failures, and pending-call cleanup.
## Protocol examples
Request:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"method": "environment/info",
"params": {
"environmentId": "remote-a"
}
}
```
Successful response:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"result": {
"shell": {
"name": "zsh",
"path": "/bin/zsh"
},
"cwd": "file:///workspace"
}
}
```
If the exec-server initializes but does not answer the probe within 30
seconds:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"error": {
"code": -32603,
"message": "failed to get info for environment `remote-a`: exec-server protocol error: timed out waiting for exec-server `environment/info` response after 30s"
}
}
```
## Testing
- App-server integration coverage for successful info (including omitted
`cwd`), unknown environments, and connection failures.
- Exec-server RPC coverage verifying a timed-out call is removed from
the pending-request table.

## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
## Why
#28522 routes selected-plugin HTTP MCP traffic through the owning
executor, but OAuth bootstrap and refresh still used host-local clients.
Executor-only servers therefore cannot complete discovery or login
through the same network boundary as the MCP connection.
## What changed
- adapt `codex_exec_server::HttpClient` to RMCP 1.8's `OAuthHttpClient`
contract
- let RMCP own discovery, dynamic registration, PKCE, token exchange,
and refresh
- route auth status, persisted-token startup, and app-server login
through the server runtime while preserving the existing local discovery
path
- add optional `threadId` to `mcpServer/oauth/login` and echo it in the
completion notification
- implement RMCP's redirect policy and 1 MiB OAuth response limit over
executor HTTP
- cover selected-thread OAuth discovery and login through an
executor-only route
Depends on #28522.
## Description
Rename the experimental app-server item pagination API from
`thread/turns/items/list` to `thread/items/list` and make `turnId`
optional. Clients can now page persisted items across a thread, or still
filter to one turn when needed.
## What changed
- Rename the request/response protocol types and JSON-RPC method to
`ThreadItemsList*` / `thread/items/list`.
- Pass optional `turnId` through to `ThreadStore::list_items`.
- Update app-server docs and focused protocol/app-server tests.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol thread_items_list_round_trips`
- `just test -p codex-app-server thread_items_list_returns_unsupported`
## Summary
- read the request-scoped safety-buffering treatment from HTTP response
headers and per-turn WebSocket metadata through one shared header parser
- combine that treatment with Responses API safety-buffering signals
- propagate `showBufferingUi` and nullable `fasterModel` through the
existing `model/safetyBuffering/updated` app-server notification
- update the app-server documentation and generated JSON and TypeScript
schemas
The public implementation contains no model mapping or real model
identifier. Tests and protocol examples use generic `current-model` and
`faster-model` placeholders only.
## Dependencies
- server-side treatment evaluation:
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1060247
- initial Responses API safety-buffering propagation:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29371
- Codex App UI: https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1057789
## Validation
- Codex API tests: 129 passed
- focused Codex core safety-buffering integration test passed
- app-server protocol tests passed after regenerating schema fixtures
- Clippy fix and repository formatting completed successfully
The broader app-server run compiled all changed crates and completed
with 1,269 passing tests. Its remaining failures were unrelated
environment limitations: macOS sandbox application was denied, one
expected test binary was unavailable, and several existing subprocess
tests timed out as a result.
# Summary
Codex required every ChatGPT account to have an email address. A
service-account personal access token can return valid account metadata
without one, so PAT login failed while decoding the metadata response.
This change makes email optional in the account metadata type that owns
it and preserves that absence through authentication, provider account
state, the app-server API, generated clients, and TUI bootstrap.
Existing accounts with email addresses keep the same behavior.
## Behavior-changing call sites
| Call site | Behavior after this change |
| --- | --- |
| `login/src/auth/personal_access_token.rs` | PAT metadata accepts a
missing or null email and retains `None`. |
| `agent-identity/src/lib.rs` | Agent Identity JWT claims accept an
omitted email. |
| `login/src/auth/storage.rs` and `login/src/auth/agent_identity.rs` |
Stored and managed Agent Identity records carry `Option<String>`.
Deserialization maps the legacy empty-string sentinel to `None`. |
| `login/src/auth/manager.rs` | `get_account_email` returns the stored
option, and managed identity bootstrap no longer converts `None` to an
empty string. |
| `model-provider/src/provider.rs` and `protocol/src/account.rs` | A
ChatGPT provider account requires a plan type but may carry no email. |
| `app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/account.rs` | `account/read`
keeps the `email` field on the wire and returns `null` when the account
has no email. Generated TypeScript and JSON schemas describe a required,
nullable field. |
| `sdk/python/src/openai_codex/generated/v2_all.py` | The generated
Python `ChatgptAccount` model accepts `None` for email. |
| `tui/src/app_server_session.rs` | Email-less ChatGPT accounts
bootstrap normally, keep external feedback routing, omit account-email
telemetry, and display the plan in account status. |
## Design decisions
- Missing email remains `None` at every layer. The code never uses an
empty string as a substitute.
- The app-server response includes `"email": null` instead of omitting
the field. Clients retain a stable response shape.
- Plan type remains required for provider account state. This change
relaxes only the email assumption.
## Testing
Tests: affected test targets compile, scoped Clippy and formatting pass,
a focused TUI snapshot covers plan-only account status, real
before/after PAT login smoke covers metadata without email, app-server
smoke covers `account/read` with `email: null`, and a regression smoke
covers an existing email-bearing PAT. Unit tests run in CI.
## Evidence
Visual smoke evidence will be attached here.
## Why
Multi-agent delegation policy was split across `multiAgentMode`,
`features.multi_agent_mode`, and `usage_hint_enabled`. These controls
could disagree: a requested mode could be downgraded by the feature
flag, and disabling usage hints also disabled mode instructions.
Some clients also need multi-agent tools without adding
delegation-policy text to model context. The previous two-mode API could
not express that directly.
## What changed
`multiAgentMode` is now the only live delegation-policy control:
| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `none` | Keep multi-agent tools available without adding mode
instructions. |
| `explicitRequestOnly` | Only delegate after an explicit user request.
|
| `proactive` | Delegate when parallel work materially improves speed or
quality. |
- new threads default to `explicitRequestOnly`; omitting the mode on
later turns keeps the current value
- thread start, resume, fork, and settings responses always report the
concrete current mode instead of `null`
- mode selection remains sticky across turns and resume
- usage-hint text no longer controls whether mode instructions apply
- `features.multi_agent_mode` and `usage_hint_enabled` remain accepted
as ignored compatibility settings so existing configs continue to load
- app-server documentation and generated schemas describe the three-mode
API
## Tests
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_v2_config_from_feature_table`
- `just test -p codex-core spawn_agent_description`
- `just test -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server multi_agent_mode`
Responses API safety buffering metadata currently stops at the transport
boundary, so app-server clients cannot render the in-progress safety
review state.
This change:
- decodes and deduplicates `safety_buffering` metadata from Responses
API SSE and WebSocket events without suppressing the original response
event
- emits a typed core event containing the requested model plus backend
use cases and reasons
- forwards that event as `turn/safetyBuffering/updated` through
app-server v2 and updates generated protocol schemas
- keeps the side-channel event out of persisted rollouts and turn timing
This supports the Codex Apps buffering UX and depends on the Responses
API backend work in https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044569 and
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044571.
Validation:
- focused `codex-core` safety-buffering integration test passes

- `just fmt`
- broad package test run: 4,430/4,492 passed; 62 unrelated
local-environment/concurrency failures involved unavailable test
binaries, MCP subprocess setup, and app-server timeouts
