## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `output_token_replay` feature to request `output.encrypted_content` from OpenAI providers.
- Preserve encrypted message and tool-call output, message and function-call status, and output-text `annotations` and `logprobs` through history and replay. Update the generated protocol schemas and SDK types.
- Strip output ciphertext from requests to other providers while retaining it in stored history, including after replay is disabled. Remove encrypted content from memory extraction inputs.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for the feature/provider combinations, metadata replay across follow-up requests, and history preservation when resuming with replay disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 77729a021b6771933402aebe74ece8eb39c057e2
## Why
Instant Connect can return a call ID before ICE activates the call, causing sideband attachment to briefly fail with HTTP `404` while the client connects media.
## What changed
Retry `404` responses from `connect_existing_call_sideband` up to three times, waiting 100, 300, and 800 milliseconds. Return the error once this activation retry budget is exhausted, and preserve the existing handling of other errors.
## Testing
Add WebSocket coverage for successful attachment after three `404` responses, failure after four `404` responses, and no retry on HTTP `410`. Verify that successful attachment does not overwrite the prepared session configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5d18ff7eeeb9abd56388808828382f7350c7ae57
## Why
WebSocket rate-limit and overload errors ignored `Retry-After` advice and ended turns even when the server supplied a retry delay.
## What changed
Extract retry advice from nested `error.headers`, falling back to top-level `headers` when nested advice is missing or invalid. Use the shared HTTP header validation and retry-delay parser, and preserve the delay when mapping WebSocket errors.
## Testing
Add coverage for nested-header precedence, malformed headers, HTTP header validation, and recovery after an advised rate limit. Verify that overloads retry only while advice is present, without falling back to HTTP, and that headerless rate limits, usage limits, and `flex_unavailable` errors remain terminal.
GitOrigin-RevId: 61add0c36197e10402d6d3c325332aac72a5a521
## Why
Serial connection opens let a stalled handshake delay healthy sockets. Waiting until the idle pool is empty to refill also leaves classification bursts using HTTP fallback.
## What changed
- Open up to four WebSockets concurrently and start replenishing when the idle pool falls to half capacity. Preserve successful in-flight opens when another open fails or times out.
- Make explicit prewarming wait for an existing refill before checking readiness.
- Add `ResponsesWebsocketClient::connect_with_connector` and reuse one connector per sampler, initializing TLS configuration on a blocking task while retaining per-connection authentication and destination policy checks.
- Record connection lease durations for admission, setup, and total time, tagged by transport.
## Testing
Add regression tests for a stalled handshake alongside a healthy socket and replenishment before the last idle socket is leased. Update cooldown, authentication, and transport retry tests to account for concurrent handshake completion.
GitOrigin-RevId: f4a8258977c1f2a58e00c6badc7b599280ef22ad
## What changed
Move base instructions from the top-level `instructions` field into a prefixed `developer` message in `input` for standard Responses requests, matching Responses Lite. Remove the field from HTTP and WebSocket request types and assign instruction messages stable IDs derived from the thread and instruction text.
## Testing
Extend standard and Responses Lite tests to cover instruction message serialization, stable IDs, and resume consistency. Update WebSocket tests to verify that changed instructions trigger a full request without `previous_response_id`.
GitOrigin-RevId: e2de4b8e30a9339377fac133ceda981abd1a112b
## Why
Gateways that inspect request bodies incrementally need routing fields before potentially multi-megabyte prompts so they can route requests without buffering the input first.
## What changed
Serialize `model`, `stream`, and optional `service_tier` before `input` in both HTTP Responses requests and WebSocket `response.create` messages. Preserve field values and omission of unset `service_tier`.
## Testing
Add an HTTP regression test with a 2 MiB input that checks routing field order and unchanged JSON contents. Extend WebSocket serialization coverage to assert the routing fields appear first, and check that HTTP requests omit unset `service_tier`.
GitOrigin-RevId: dbc174e1fe7ca30d0c00f075bc37dd5f97b27b37
## Why
Responses overload and exhausted-request errors could terminate despite server retry advice, and WebSocket-to-HTTP fallback could issue a request before the advised deadline.
## What changed
- Allow `ServerOverloaded` and `RetryLimit` errors to retry when server advice is present, within the configured retry budgets.
- Preserve `Retry-After` headers from rejected WebSocket upgrades and wait for the server deadline before falling back to HTTP.
- Keep quota, usage-limit, and policy failures terminal even when they include retry advice.
## Testing
Add coverage for HTTP overload and rate-limit recovery, WebSocket upgrade rejection and fallback timing, retry deadline preservation through error mapping, and retry limits for sampling and manual and automatic compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 72d30a9f078652664754dfa971fd7dc7a78f20e8
Stop logging response headers on successful WebSocket connections and payload
previews for tool calls. Keep the connection URL, tool name, and thread ID in
their respective log entries.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1d410b6aef8f12153da9bfc60c515b8e797a9de0
## Why
Steering an active WebSocket response previously dropped the connection and
resent the full history. Draining the response preserves the connection and
allows the follow-up request to continue with `previous_response_id`.
## What changed
- Drain WebSocket responses when steering. For models using
`use_responses_lite`, first send `response.interrupt` with
`mode: "discard_partial_items"` once the response ID is available.
- Treat `response.incomplete` with reason `interrupted` as completion with
`end_turn: false`, preserving token usage and allowing the turn to continue.
Other incomplete reasons remain errors.
## Testing
Update the steering integration test to cover completed and discarded reasoning
items, asserting connection reuse, incremental follow-up input, and token usage
from the interrupted response.
GitOrigin-RevId: bc714b713e797cf1a67e3b26ffbf7664cb92eb33
Move JSON-to-HTTP header conversion from `responses_websocket` into the
crate-wide `responses_headers` module and update the WebSocket code to use it.
Preserve conversion of string, number, and boolean values, while continuing to
ignore invalid header names and unsupported or invalid values.
GitOrigin-RevId: f179de214cf763549b5b8a898dc4bcda3ce07ebd
## Why
Usage limit errors discarded the server-selected window responsible for the limit, leaving turn and compaction analytics unable to distinguish five-hour limits from weekly limits.
## What changed
Preserve optional `limit_window_minutes` from usage limit error responses in `UsageLimitReachedError` and report it as `usage_limit_window_minutes` in turn and compaction events. Accept unsigned integers that fit in `u16`; treat missing, null, malformed, or out-of-range values as unknown. Events for other error kinds report `null`.
## Testing
Add coverage for HTTP and wrapped WebSocket error mapping, analytics serialization and reduction, and app-server propagation to turn and local/remote compaction events. Cases include five-hour and weekly windows, missing or invalid values, and unrelated errors.
GitOrigin-RevId: a32066a007559d91a3c868a756bfd0f976777176
## Why
Editing recent conversation images failed when the selected images included a file reference from a message or tool output.
## What changed
Use `ImageReference` in `ImageEditRequest` to accept both `image_url` and `file_id` inputs. Pass file references from conversation history through to image edit requests while preserving image selection order.
## Testing
Update tests to cover file references from messages and tool outputs, and serialization of mixed inline and file references in image edit requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2764bf36a81a62ddd25cf9df27346a434a10c449
## Why
A previously used WebSocket can close while a thread is idle. Hosts need a way to prepare the connection before the next turn without repeating warmup on a healthy connection.
## What changed
- Expose `CodexThread::prewarm()` using the existing startup warmup and next-turn handoff.
- Reuse healthy connections and pending warmups, retry failed warmups, and repair closed connections. Treat a finished WebSocket reader task as a closed connection.
- Skip scheduling during an active turn or shutdown, and stop warmup admission before shutdown takes the pending task.
- Expose `active_turn_environment_selections()` so hosts can inspect the environments captured by the active turn, including those still starting or failed, when authorizing steering.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for repeated idle prewarm calls, healthy connection reuse with preserved response continuation, reconnection with `generate: false`, and warmup rejection after shutdown. Update delayed MCP discovery coverage to verify prewarm repairs an eagerly closed socket and the first turn reuses it.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa164b91a399de2375eda3bf28397725439fce93
## Why
HTTP retries used local backoff even when the server supplied `Retry-After`. Relative retry delays also failed to account for time spent propagating errors or reporting retries.
## What changed
- Parse `Retry-After` delay seconds and HTTP dates into a monotonic deadline captured when response headers arrive.
- Honor that deadline for HTTP retries, falling back to local backoff when valid advice is absent.
- Preserve deadlines through API and Bedrock error mapping, stream retries, and exhausted retry state. Expired advice remains a zero delay instead of triggering local backoff.
## Testing
Add coverage for header parsing, deadline countdown and expiry, error mapping after exhausted HTTP retries, and delayed stream retry notifications. Update Responses and remote compaction tests to verify that HTTP retries honor `Retry-After`.
GitOrigin-RevId: a2eff02946e5524f29e06f7ba1431e3d339261a4
## Why
Destination restrictions and policy revocation must remain effective during redirects, response body reads, and established WebSocket traffic. Policy denials must also survive error handling so callers do not retry them or report a revoked operation as successful.
## What changed
- Route managed HTTP clients through a shared `RequestBuilder` and policy-aware execution, checking each redirect destination before route resolution and retaining a network permit while consuming response bodies.
- Guard WebSocket connection setup, reads, and writes with revocable permits, including independent wakeups for split readers and writers.
- Preserve `TransportError::Policy` through HTTP, SSE, and realtime error handling, and treat policy denials as non-retryable.
- Keep the supplied network policy in plugin startup HTTP requests and propagate response body failures from backend and plugin requests.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for rejection before connecting, revocation during redirect routing and streamed body reads, split WebSocket revocation, realtime writer error propagation, and revoked plugin upload responses.
GitOrigin-RevId: fba36700444c98a8364c09b4dc5452c4d78a90fb
## Why
Failed image requests discarded the `x-codex-imagegen-request-id` header, leaving failure analytics without the request ID.
## What changed
Carry the request ID through `ImageRequestError` and backend errors for image generation and editing. Preserve it on failed image generation items for HTTP errors, response decoding errors, and responses with no image data.
## Testing
Extend the app-server failure test to verify that a request ID returned with an HTTP 500 response reaches `codex_image_generation_event` analytics.
GitOrigin-RevId: 57cddacc0221e5b58877ac375d5eca0afb99d853
## Why
Standalone web search selected a proxy route only for the initial endpoint. Redirect destinations can require a different system proxy route.
## What changed
- Add `RouteAwareClientPool` support to `ReqwestTransport` for both buffered and streaming requests, and use it for standalone web search.
- Preserve default Codex headers and Cloudflare cookie handling across routes, while retaining the default client behavior when route-aware handling is disabled or Codex is sandboxed.
- Share request construction so URL authentication and header precedence follow `reqwest` semantics, applying them once before redirects and TLS retries.
- Map route-aware failures to transport errors and remove request URLs from those errors.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for redirects through distinct proxies, preservation of POST bodies and default headers, URL authentication and header precedence, and transport error classification without URL leakage.
GitOrigin-RevId: 19a10a62118846db09dd95265dc277e54aac09ef
## Why
Standalone web search used a default HTTP client, bypassing the configured system proxy route when `respect_system_proxy` was enabled.
## What changed
Pass the configured `HttpClientFactory` to the web search tool and create its client asynchronously for the provider's search URL using the API route policy. Export and reuse `SEARCH_ENDPOINT` so route selection and search requests use the same endpoint.
## Testing
Add an isolated regression test with environment proxies removed and a mock system proxy. Verify that standalone web search reaches the proxy and returns its result in the follow-up model request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3b64803a777b9d1eb0ccf694e06658b0fd562129
## Why
Realtime WebSockets connected directly, bypassing the configured proxy policy for Voice's WebRTC sideband.
## What changed
Pass the configured `HttpClientFactory` into `RealtimeWebsocketClient` and connect through the shared `WebSocketConnector`. Add support for supplying an existing Rustls configuration to preserve custom CA handling and Windows platform trust.
## Testing
Add an integration test that enables `respect_system_proxy`, starts a WebRTC conversation, and verifies that the sideband establishes its session through an HTTP `CONNECT` proxy and closes successfully.
GitOrigin-RevId: d974c9275d7fe29f388d56a9d5d8ce0c483eb8d0
## Why
Interleaved speaker transcripts can fragment handoff context, and delayed final transcripts can overwrite newer speech.
## What changed
- Reconcile V3 transcript deltas and finals with the latest entry for the same speaker.
- Replace accumulated text only when the final transcript extends it, preserving newer speech when a final arrives late.
- Start a new entry after each completed utterance, keeping repeated speech and final-only turns distinct even when empty deltas arrive.
- Preserve live transcript notifications and legacy protocol behavior.
## Testing
Add unit coverage for interleaved speakers across reconnects, either completion order, repeated utterances, final-only turns, and empty deltas. Add app-server integration coverage for expanded and delayed finals, checking live notifications and reconciled handoff context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 961729281f61b95fd3e0c5cc3ec72512987980b3
## Why
Providers need to serve Codex model metadata independently of their inference endpoint. A custom inference `base_url` alone should not opt API-key sessions into remote catalog discovery.
## What changed
- Add `model_catalog_url` to provider configuration and thread-config serialization. Fetch the full catalog URL with provider authentication, headers, query parameters, and `client_version`, while preserving inference routing.
- Require an explicit catalog URL for API-key discovery with a custom base URL. Keep default OpenAI discovery on the Codex backend, and apply `api_key_model_discovery` gating to provider API keys and cached catalogs.
- Include the catalog URL in cache identity so different catalogs do not share cached metadata.
- Limit explicitly configured catalog responses to 1 MiB, reject redirects, and suppress URL and response diagnostics that could expose credentials.
## Testing
Add coverage for catalog configuration round-trips, query encoding, authentication and header reuse, cache identity and discovery gating, oversized responses, and redirect rejection without credential forwarding. Add an integration test verifying that catalog model metadata and instructions reach conversation requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7f6ac5eec257278685e1867a6bcebae6514a365a
## Why
Model catalog decode errors can include the full response body and payload values from deserialization errors. Catalog request deadlines also report a generic timeout instead of a request timeout.
## What changed
- Report only the JSON error category, line, column, and response byte count when model catalog decoding fails.
- Return `CodexErr::RequestTimeout` when the model catalog refresh deadline expires.
## Testing
Add regression tests for invalid response shapes, large payload values, malformed and truncated JSON, and a delayed catalog response that must return `RequestTimeout`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6fe5111a3e3b113d79942b3c213f8e94d773eb5a
## Why
HTTP callers currently cannot bound response bodies. Callers accepting provider-controlled model catalogs need a size limit before decoding the response.
## What changed
- Add per-request `response_body_limit_bytes` for buffered, streaming, and error responses, leaving requests unbounded by default. Reject oversized declared lengths early and count observed bytes across chunks.
- Return a non-retryable `ResponseTooLarge` error that reports only the byte limit. Preserve HTTP status and headers when a bounded error body fails to read without exceeding the limit.
- Expose `ModelsClient::list_models_raw` to fetch bytes and an optional ETag using provider authentication and retries, with an optional body limit. Keep existing `list_models` decoding behavior.
## Testing
Add HTTP fixture tests covering size boundaries, chunked and missing-length responses, early rejection, stream termination, interrupted bodies, error text decoding, and request isolation. Add a models-client test verifying that limits survive authentication retries without affecting subsequent ordinary requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 61b8940bc8a549588cee6865a3b5d1cff789074d
## What changed
- Replace dedicated Guardian endpoints with `/responses`, sending `x-codex-guardian: reviewer` or `x-codex-guardian: classifier` for eligible Codex backend requests over HTTP and WebSocket.
- Add model-scoped thread headers, recheck backend authentication on each request attempt, and reconnect WebSockets when the applicable headers change.
- Retain `features.guardianv2.free_guardian` for configuration compatibility while removing its routing gate; the backend now controls Guardian billing.
## Testing
Update tests for reviewer and classifier headers, model and authentication scoping, HTTP fallback, WebSocket reuse, and parent-response metadata across retries.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1c2b3c458ab77fb40aae4ee6784f6d827c60e76c
## What changed
Represent images in `ContentItem` and `FunctionCallOutputContentItem` with `ImageReference::Inline`, flattened to preserve the existing `image_url` wire format. Update image producers and consumers and regenerate app-server schemas and SDK artifacts.
Preserve the Python SDK's `InputImageContentItem` and `InputImageFunctionCallOutputContentItem` class names during generation.
## Testing
Add a regression test for stable Python image class names and adapt existing image tests to the shared representation.
GitOrigin-RevId: c38a780ac3314c2ac2deb3afc1b93b94b6f93fec
## Why
Windows release packages need the voice helper and native audio libraries. Realtime TLS connections on fresh Windows installations also need platform certificate validation so Windows can retrieve missing trusted roots on demand.
## What changed
- Build and sign the voice helper and audio DLLs for Windows x64 and ARM64, bundle a pinned Microsoft CRT DLL, and verify signatures and runtime receipts before packaging.
- Add verified, pinned Cygwin and native build tools plus MSVC linker, compiler, and path handling fixes for the Windows Bazel builds.
- Include voice resources in primary release archives and WinGet packages. Preserve WinGet executable names, update manifest hashes, and recognize the package root through matching entrypoint metadata. Keep Python runtime wheels voice-free to preserve their existing Windows support floor.
- Use Windows platform TLS validation for realtime WebSockets when no custom CA bundle is configured, preserving custom CA behavior.
## Testing
Add coverage for build-input integrity and unsafe paths, signed Windows runtime assembly, WinGet file and hash preservation, package discovery, and TLS trust selection, untrusted certificate rejection, and hostname validation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 423da35872fa5549d69fd4ca97d922bb49599386
## Why
Remote compaction already uses the normal Responses API, leaving the legacy `/responses/compact` runner unused.
## What changed
- Remove the legacy runner, endpoint client, request types, analytics variant, and obsolete test helpers and snapshots.
- Move tool-output trimming and its metadata tests into `compact_remote_history` for reuse by remote compaction v2.
- Consolidate retained-history filtering in the v2 implementation and remove redundant `RemoteCompactionV2` settings from tests.
## Testing
Extend the retained-history unit test to explicitly check that hook prompts survive compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 999bb1391aa22c3c281d6a96f98817d6c9e46ed9
## What changed
Parse optional `generation_id` values from image API responses and carry the selected image's ID through the image generation tool into analytics events. Keep the ID out of serialized extension items, JSON schemas, and TypeScript types. Responses without an ID remain supported.
## Testing
Add coverage for distinct IDs in multi-image responses and responses without IDs. Extend analytics and app-server tests to verify that the selected image's ID reaches analytics, and item tests to verify that it is omitted from serialization and TypeScript types.
GitOrigin-RevId: 70a600856990140b76fdbda51a0d73b3414338b1
## What changed
Capture the ID from `response.created` and pass it as `parent_response_id` in Guardian review and classifier request metadata. Clear the current response ID before sampling retries so tool reviews cannot inherit a failed response's ID.
Request Guardian credits with `guardian_credits_requested` on eligible parent requests. Remove the ticket protocol, transport attachment, and ticket-specific body redaction. Keep ordinary app-server client `parent_response_id` values inside `x-codex-turn-metadata` rather than promoting them to Guardian request metadata.
## Testing
Update coverage for HTTP fallback, WebSocket review reuse, missing response IDs, classifier transport retries, and code-mode yield/resume attribution. Extend app-server tests to verify client metadata placement over HTTP and WebSocket.
GitOrigin-RevId: c1665e56382ecec8d260fc2ca0ecd5e20b0b2391
## What changed
- Request and parse server-issued Guardian tickets for eligible Codex backend responses.
- Scope each ticket to the response that produced a Guardian review or classifier request, including HTTP and WebSocket retries, without adding it to model-visible or persisted context.
- Validate ticket shape, reserve its metadata keys, redact it from debug and request-body logging, and attach it only at the Guardian transport boundary.
## Testing
- Cover ticket parsing, endpoint and authentication routing, retry scoping, classifier retries, and redaction for compressed and uncompressed requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6219dd15c9f19ed3387de516aac1b8e7c9cdb0e3
## Why
Realtime history should be recorded consistently for every Core host, including
when no app-server event listener is attached.
## What changed
- Move transcript segmentation, session boundaries, and backing-agent artifact
promotion into Core for paginated threads.
- Persist canonical realtime items through the thread store in event order and
emit dedicated history lifecycle events for hosts to present.
- Translate those Core events into the existing app-server realtime item
notifications without app-server persisting the items a second time.
## Testing
- Cover Core-only persistence across repeated sessions, ephemeral sessions,
accepted and rejected steering, typed input ordering, and artifact promotion.
- Verify app-server notifications correspond to the persisted timeline.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7cbef14129d77f6d6d7099b733be91f5279c55f5
## Why
Responses-compatible requests can use routes other than `/responses`, but their
tracing spans reported the default route regardless of the selected endpoint.
## What changed
- Populate `api.path` from the selected `ResponsesEndpoint` for HTTP and
WebSocket requests.
- Retain the endpoint on WebSocket connections so stream-request spans report
the same route as connection spans.
GitOrigin-RevId: 349eca94b27d4cc3a1adde8b257313506bdaf0f4
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `features.guardianv2.free_guardian` setting to route eligible
Guardian reviews to `/guardian` and asynchronous classifications to
`/guardian-classifier`.
- Support endpoint selection for both HTTP and WebSocket Responses clients,
including endpoint-aware connection reuse.
- Keep `/responses` for API-key authentication, custom provider URLs,
non-Guardian models, and configurations where the option is disabled.
- Omit routing hints and `service_tier` from requests sent to the dedicated
Guardian endpoints.
## Testing
- Cover route selection across authentication modes, provider URLs, HTTP
fallback, WebSocket review sessions, and classifier sampling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9c88673c710d009e0239559b9245a4e6c4f4befc
## What changed
- Read `x-codex-imagegen-request-id` from image generation and edit responses.
- Propagate the ID to `codex_image_generation_event` analytics.
- Keep the ID in process only, excluding it from extension item serialization, generated types, app-server wire data, and rollout history.
## Testing
- Cover response-header extraction and missing-header behavior in the images client.
- Verify end-to-end analytics emission and the unchanged image-generation item wire shape.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9b8e09b7d655c0c2faa84f0eee99aabae583668d
## What changed
- Add the experimental `turn/start.cyberAccessProgram` option with `standard`,
`daybreakBlue`, and `daybreakRed` values.
- Forward the selection as `access_programs.cyber` on Responses, WebSocket,
and remote-compaction requests made with ChatGPT authentication, while
omitting it for API-key and custom-provider requests.
- Preserve the per-turn selection across recovery, compaction, and child-agent
turns without making it a persistent thread setting.
## Testing
- Cover app-server forwarding, authentication boundaries, WebSocket reuse,
turn recovery, compaction, and child-agent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: d2eb468f365b2214c5099bc21741cf30f8bd2eb5
## Why
Clients that create and negotiate realtime calls themselves need Codex to join
those calls without creating another call or overwriting the client-owned
session configuration.
## What changed
- Add the `existingCall` transport to `thread/realtime/start`, accepting a
client-provided `callId` and optional `realtimeSessionId`.
- Attach Codex over the call's sideband WebSocket without SDP negotiation or a
session update, and reconnect that sideband while preserving transcript
state.
- Default existing calls to realtime v1, support v1 and v3, and reject v2 or
options that would reconfigure the client-owned session.
- Encode call IDs as a single URL path segment for v3 sideband connections.
## Testing
Add protocol, app-server, core, reconnection, authentication-header, and URL
encoding coverage for existing-call attachments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2046b70566f98efa55381bb1e461ea3cc68256c5
## What changed
- Reconnect frameless bidirectional WebRTC sideband sockets after unexpected transport loss with capped exponential backoff.
- Preserve pending text or handoff output and bounded transcript state across reconnects.
- Treat `404 Not Found` and `410 Gone` handshake responses as terminal session completion, and preserve HTTP status information from failed WebSocket handshakes.
- Bound Realtime delegation input and transcript fields while retaining the most relevant portion of each.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for reconnect backoff, terminal status handling, transport error classification, transcript continuity and truncation, and pending outbound messages.
- Add an end-to-end WebRTC conversation test covering an unclean disconnect, reconnect, transcript reconciliation, outbound progress during sustained inbound traffic, and terminal session completion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 544fd7e542c3434d0bb42cfbcc7143604419a037
## What changed
- Expand the Guardian sampling pool from 8 to 16 WebSocket connections.
- When the pool is full, supersede the oldest request that has already produced a score before replacing an unfinished classification. Treat superseded classifications as a no-op in the extension.
- Stop response WebSocket work when its event consumer is dropped, including while waiting for the connection lock or draining a completed sample.
- Allow retries across both initially warmed connections for retryable stream failures.
## Testing
- Add a concurrent sampler test that fills the pool and verifies scored drains are replaced before an unfinished classification.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9e4df7b01516094726ff3e11878f8ca742d21b03
## What changed
- Set `parallel_tool_calls` for regular and remote compaction prompts without consulting model metadata.
- Remove `supports_parallel_tool_calls` from `ModelInfo`, the bundled model catalog, and related fixtures.
- Preserve the existing Responses Lite behavior that disables parallel tool calls at request construction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 49552bdf97e71fa57325abb49f8adc0c88f1401a
## What changed
- Extract `x-models-etag` from `codex.response.metadata` events and emit it as a `ModelsEtag` response event.
- Stop reading or reporting the model ETag from WebSocket upgrade headers.
## Testing
- Update the WebSocket response-stream test to deliver the ETag through a metadata event and verify that it is emitted.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9b9cff3d8a0a914549aca62d8d316483a9a47f69
## 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
## 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
- Use `https://api.openai.com/v1` for WebRTC sideband websocket joins instead of deriving the URL from the model provider.
- Keep `experimental_realtime_ws_base_url` as an explicit sideband override for local development and tests.
- Exclude provider query parameters when building sideband URLs.
## Testing
- Add coverage that a frameless sideband join uses `wss://api.openai.com/v1/live/rtc_test` even when the provider points at the ChatGPT backend.
- Update the sideband retry end-to-end test to inject its mock server URL through the new override.

## Why
Preparing Responses API requests rebuilt tool definitions as a generic JSON
tree, and incremental WebSocket requests cloned their full item prefix for
comparison.
## What changed
- Serialize tool definitions into shared raw JSON that can be embedded directly
in HTTP and WebSocket requests.
- Compare incremental request prefixes in place while still ignoring internal
message metadata.
## Testing
- Verify raw tool JSON matches the existing value encoding.
- Preserve the serialized WebSocket request payload.

## What changed
Treat `previous_response_not_found` websocket errors as retryable so Codex can
retry with the full request. Preserve the server-provided error message when
available, with a fallback message that explains the retry.

## Why
Building a Responses WebSocket request copied the model, instructions, input
history, tools, and other request settings into a second payload before
serialization.
## What changed
- Make `ResponseCreateWsRequest` borrow shared fields from
`ResponsesApiRequest`.
- Keep only WebSocket-specific fields owned, and allocate a separate input
vector only for incremental continuations.
- Restore response item IDs after preparing a full request so the request
retained for continuation matching keeps its original state.
## Testing
Update the serialization test to verify that the borrowed WebSocket request
produces the same wire payload as the Responses API request plus its
WebSocket-specific fields.

## 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.

## 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.

## 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.

## Why
Standalone web search can return structured result DTOs separately from its
model-facing text output. App-server clients need access to that data without
coupling Codex to every result type or field.
## What changed
- Preserve the optional `results` array from `/v1/alpha/search` as opaque JSON
through web-search completion events, thread history, and app-server
`webSearch` items.
- Keep responses from older endpoints compatible when `results` is absent, and
allow clients to ignore result types and fields they do not understand.
- Regenerate the protocol schemas and TypeScript definitions for the optional
field.
## Testing
- Cover responses with missing, empty, and forward-compatible result payloads.
- Verify standalone web-search results round-trip through app-server item
notifications and thread-item conversion.
