## Why
Guardian reviews need to retain original evidence across parent compaction when checkpoint reuse is disabled, including after resume and rollback.
## What changed
- Make disabling `guardian_reuse_parent_compaction` select a bounded, independent review transcript while preserving thread-owned authorization.
- Keep synchronous reviews and asynchronous scoring independent of parent checkpoints, and allow reviewer sessions to continue using transcript deltas across parent compaction.
- Persist transcript entries with rollback provenance while remaining compatible with older checkpoint readers and metadata-free checkpoints.
- Exclude compaction output from the transcript and synthetic summaries from rollback turn boundaries. Use acceptance ordering to remove rolled-back evidence even when persistence order differs.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for reviewer continuity, evidence retention across compaction and resume, rollback after local and remote compaction, and checkpoint serialization compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: fea0852cc5537372854f4a34bacb6bfda6d13e88
## Why
Guardian needs the assistant's delivered question to interpret a user's reply. Messages sent through nested Code Mode tools must remain available as review context, and approvals based on earlier context must become stale when a new delivery is confirmed. Assistant messages do not themselves grant authorization.
## What changed
- Capture successful hosted User Messaging sends after input rewriting and before result callbacks or post-tool hooks.
- Retain bounded delivery text in acceptance order, persist it through cancellation and shutdown, and preserve it across compaction and resume with an older-client-compatible rollout encoding.
- Track assistant review context separately from user authorization, invalidating pending and cached approvals for both local and worker reviews when that context changes.
- Associate retained deliveries with the correct instruction or communication boundary during rollback.
## Testing
Add coverage for nested messaging review context, fast replies and communication ordering, shutdown persistence, stale local and worker approvals, rollout compatibility, and rollback retention.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1bc1ec9e8947560b99f4b39a42ddb9f2099f519b
## Why
Changes in executor availability can alter cloud skill catalog rendering under a shared budget and repeat an unchanged executor catalog when it reconnects.
## What changed
- Cap cloud skills at three quarters of the metadata budget initially, leaving the remaining budget and unused cloud allowance for filesystem skills. Reduce the cloud cap only when doing so allows all skill entries to fit; description truncation alone does not trigger rebalancing.
- Persist the allocation across disconnects, compaction, and thread resume. Recompute it when the cloud inventory or total budget changes.
- Emit a short availability update when an unchanged selected-environment catalog returns and its full text remains in history. Reinject the full catalog when that text is missing.
## Testing
Add coverage for allocation stability, catalog and budget changes, omission handling, and full catalog reinjection after compaction and resume. Extend the selected capability stack test to verify reconnection avoids repeating the catalog.
GitOrigin-RevId: 839fe98024e00c4082a46e6a40675e15fd2c16c6
## Why
Synchronous Guardian reviews can include the same user instruction in both the retained instructions section and the conversation transcript. Avoid this duplication while preserving complete authorization evidence and its original acceptance order.
## What changed
- Carry retained source metadata into transcript rendering. Omit a retained instruction when the transcript delivers its complete matching source revision.
- Label qualifying transcript entries with retained source order and protect them from budget truncation. Keep separate retained instructions when source metadata is missing or incomplete.
- Track delivery of source-order guidance so it remains available even when all retained instructions are delivered through the transcript. Invalidate that delivery proof when messages are shortened.
## Testing
Add coverage for complete-source deduplication, missing or incomplete metadata, budget protection, guidance redelivery, and source metadata preservation across resume. Update Guardian review assertions and snapshots to verify instructions are delivered once.
GitOrigin-RevId: 20ad0304501fa49f1596c4cfaf3ef89d64815753
## Why
User messages could fill the root context limit before assistant questions were considered, while commentary could displace relevant conversational context. Guardian needs that context to interpret user authorization when reviewing subagent actions.
## What changed
- Select recent user and assistant evidence together under a shared message limit, discarding assistants with unknown ordering first.
- Exclude explicit assistant commentary and retain message phases across compaction. For older retained records, check available source messages for commentary phases.
- Mark missing instructions or assistant context when the shared limit removes corresponding evidence, and use remaining space for legacy instructions.
## Testing
Update Guardian authorization tests to cover shared message limits, commentary filtering across compaction and resume, and preservation of ordered replies when legacy assistant context has unknown ordering.
GitOrigin-RevId: c369a2760917cba9d7dfca37fb5e85a7ec49012f
## Why
Reused Guardian sessions already contain previously delivered instructions. Follow-up reviews can avoid repeating that evidence, but must deliver it again if it changes or compaction removes it.
## What changed
- Track retained source identity, revision, and completeness in host-owned history metadata, preserving revisions during replay.
- Omit retained instructions from synchronous review inputs only when the same complete revision remains in reviewer history.
- Restore missing evidence after reviewer compaction, enforcing the request budget before persisting additions. Classify restored evidence as context rather than new user authorization.
- Keep source-order labels stable across eviction and retain full delivery for legacy records without reliable provenance.
## Testing
Add coverage for consecutive-review deduplication, changed revisions, missing or incomplete metadata, and restoring compacted evidence exactly once. Extend compaction and resume coverage to verify retained revisions.
GitOrigin-RevId: e90fca16cde0a0970da36dd873af2ca1dbaaf4d3
## Why
Image and audio estimate cache misses computed values while holding the cache mutex, blocking access to unrelated keys during initialization.
## What changed
Add `BlockingLruCache::get_or_init` using `Arc<OnceLock<V>>` and migrate the image and audio estimate caches to it. Initialization and same-key waits run in a Tokio blocking region after releasing the cache mutex. Callers share initialization while an entry remains cached; eviction can allow another initialization, so factories must be deterministic.
## Testing
Add a concurrency test covering access to other keys during initialization, eviction of an in-flight entry, and successful completion of both the evicted initializer and its replacement.
GitOrigin-RevId: 079226a58828b854eddc2b501079527bcbe5e603
## Why
Unchanged scheduled heartbeat instructions should not become fresh authorization evidence that supersedes a later human override or floods Guardian review context.
## What changed
- Capture heartbeat provenance per input, including when steering an active turn, and persist it in history and retained context.
- Coalesce unchanged instructions for each automation at their original acceptance order. Preserve changed instruction versions and ordinary human messages.
- Represent repeated heartbeats as references to earlier instructions in Guardian transcripts, while tracking the latest input turn separately for trusted skill selection.
- Limit coalescing to recognized, bounded heartbeat envelopes with host-provided provenance.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for human overrides across repeated and steered heartbeats, instruction changes, checkpoint restoration, transcript references, envelope parsing, and latest-turn trusted skills in delegated reviews.
GitOrigin-RevId: 31e444ddb685a1a618be26d3cc32fb562296946b
## 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
## What changed
Remove the session-level capture mode and make thread-owned retained context the default throughout history management. Simplify input ordering, compaction identity preservation, fork handling, and approval freshness checks by removing legacy capture branches.
Keep checkpoint compatibility review separate: unknown or incompatible checkpoints can still use legacy review while retaining user evidence. Set the already-removed `guardianv2.thread_context` feature's default to false and remove redundant opt-out test variants.
## Testing
Update checkpoint tests to exercise legacy review through restored checkpoint data. Adapt existing compaction, resume, rollback, and fork tests to use unconditional context capture.
GitOrigin-RevId: ab23a0d7aca71d5a103458cff8b0c68137dd9708
## What changed
- Deprecate and ignore `features.guardianv2.thread_context`, including profile overrides, with a migration notice. Ignore managed requirements for the removed flag with a warning.
- Preserve surviving legacy root instructions across compaction and resume when retained instructions are incomplete. Include unmatched instructions in worker authorization context with an explicit unknown-ordering notice, without replacing newer retained facts or expanding the reviewer's model window.
- Use surviving source calls to roll back verified answers from older checkpoints that lack acceptance-order metadata.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for legacy instruction recovery, compaction and resume, source matching, and answer rollback around same-turn user input. Update configuration and Guardian review tests to verify that the deprecated opt-out still uses thread-owned context and rejects incompatible compaction evidence.
GitOrigin-RevId: a65936c9e0b912e7667d1385a2ec53df726565de
## Why
Guardian authorization reviews need the assistant message that prompted a user’s approval, even when a post-tool hook blocks the messaging result or compaction removes the original tool call.
## What changed
Retain confirmed delivered assistant text from tool-output metadata at the original call’s position in thread-owned Guardian context. Recover these messages when restoring checkpoints and respect the call’s inherited-context status.
## Testing
Extend authorization coverage to verify that a delivered message remains in the Guardian root snapshot after a blocked tool result, compaction, and resume, and update checkpoint expectations to preserve assistant/approval ordering.
GitOrigin-RevId: df30ec8a3ef21443210a937ab6db119de8a5fd51
## Why
Ordinary user replies can depend on preceding assistant messages. Losing those messages during compaction can leave Guardian without the context needed to interpret a reply's scope.
## What changed
- Retain original assistant messages, including commentary, with their recorded order across checkpoints and resume. Exclude compaction output from this evidence.
- Include assistant context in local and delegated reviews as untrusted context, with separate storage limits and lower budget priority than user instructions.
- Prefer assistant context preceding ordinary replies when selecting bounded root evidence, and report unavailable context without inferring what a reply refers to.
- Preserve inherited context scope and remove assistant evidence beyond rollback boundaries, including during rollout migration.
## Testing
Extend coverage for compaction and resume, checkpoint migration, queued-input ordering and rollback, role labeling, and evidence budgets that preserve user restrictions while dropping assistant context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 886189b0be29ffc3d324b56f5d0b673d6b8d84da
## Why
Extension tool calls eagerly copied and converted conversation history even when the tool never read it.
## What changed
Retain a shared invocation-time snapshot and defer conversion to raw response items until `ConversationHistory::items()` is called. Cache the result across clones with `LazyLock`, and keep debug formatting from triggering materialization. Release unrelated history metadata when capturing the shared items.
## Testing
Extend the extension executor test to verify that history first read after a later turn still reflects the invocation-time snapshot, in both legacy and paginated history modes. Update the history API test to check that shared items preserve their envelopes.
GitOrigin-RevId: c737b765b7e4889735dc78e12d685d36e854570b
## Why
Committing a Guardian review snapshot currently flushes and reloads the transcript from storage, even though the completed model context is already available in memory.
## What changed
- Build forkable checkpoints directly from live session state, preserving model history, retained Guardian context, world state, turn context, and token usage.
- Preserve compaction window metadata and MCP resource origins in the checkpoint.
- Recognize prior user turns inside compacted replacement history.
## Testing
Add round-trip checkpoint tests for legacy and thread-owned Guardian context without storage, including preservation after live history is mutated. Extend the review compaction test to assert that checkpoints do not load history from storage.
GitOrigin-RevId: cb2638ca93bba6ab4472de50c7e2913e1a2f25a8
## Why
A delegated task can omit restrictions from the sender's user messages. Guardian needs that context when reviewing actions in the receiving thread.
## What changed
- When thread-owned Guardian context is enabled, capture up to three recent local user messages when a `send_message_to_thread` delivery from `codex_app` or `codex_tui` is accepted.
- Provide a bounded snapshot to synchronous and asynchronous reviewers, with explicit notices for unavailable evidence and a reminder that historical context does not transfer permission. Keep the snapshot out of the worker prompt.
- Retain snapshots with their deliveries across replay, compaction, and rollback, and strip them from forked agent history.
## Testing
Add coverage for reviewer-only visibility, missing sender provenance, context-budget preservation, checkpoint replay and rollback, fork isolation, and input serialization that rejects harness metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3870ba762aa81689713b56d4cb3b98566bffed88
## Why
File images contributed zero to history and compaction token estimates and were dropped from Guardian context. This undercounted context usage and omitted image evidence from reviews.
## What changed
- Estimate file images using the fixed resized-image cost, or 10,000 patch tokens for `original` detail because file references do not expose dimensions.
- Charge file images against remote compaction and Guardian request budgets.
- Preserve file images from user messages and tool outputs through Guardian selection and delivery, and deduplicate review images by file ID.
- Apply transcript image count and byte limits to both reference types, counting file ID bytes rather than referenced file contents.
## Testing
Add coverage for file-image estimates, selection limits, delivery, and compaction retention. Extend Guardian tests to verify file-image evidence reaches reviews and uploaded original-detail images trigger reviewer-history compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: ee024204dcbe16e277fea9347c6a4d7fc120e18d
## What changed
- Add `ResolvedModelMessages` to resolve catalog text and bundled defaults while preserving explicit empty overrides and their source.
- Move base-instruction rendering, Guardian prompt composition, multi-agent role rendering, and `update_plan` guidance filtering into `codex-prompts`; migrate consumers to the shared APIs.
- Separate permission-profile resolution from prompt composition, and annotate Guardian policy and classifier instructions with content kinds.
## Testing
Add and update coverage for missing versus empty templates, literal overrides, multi-agent role composition, Guardian policy substitution and truncation, and preservation of permission path spellings and order.
GitOrigin-RevId: 52335bb7acec0f432d5c57acb2accd5f0276056e
## What changed
Add `codex_history::CompactionCheckpoint` to keep a checkpoint and its recorded producer model hash together, with shared checks for usability and reviewer compatibility.
Replace `ConversationHistorySnapshot::latest_compaction_model_hash()` with `latest_compaction()` and use the shared abstraction in Guardian context selection, review sessions, and parent compaction reuse. Preserve selection of the latest checkpoint even when unusable, and leave missing producer metadata unknown.
## Testing
Add coverage showing that the latest checkpoint retains its own provenance even with missing or empty encrypted content, and that compatibility requires matching producer and reviewer hashes. Adapt existing history, migration, and parent compaction tests to the new API.
GitOrigin-RevId: 98e794644edf979c98fcc8294baa48ff82ea0ed0
## What changed
- Accept `fileId` alongside the existing `url` form for app-server image inputs, and forward file references to the Responses API as `file_id`. Update generated schemas and client types.
- Preserve file references, image detail hints, and mixed inline/file image ordering through user-message events, thread history, and rollout migration. Retain file images when truncating tool output.
- Pass file references through image preparation without resolving them, while keeping resize-notice numbering correct. Omit them from unsupported TUI display and Guardian image context.
- Reject image-edit requests whose recent-image window includes a file reference, preventing selection of an older inline image instead.
## Testing
Add coverage for serialization, request and rollout preservation, mixed-image history ordering, incomplete ordering metadata, tool-output truncation, and rejection of unsupported image-edit selections.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6ca20a8577155cc934b720803c3b7b3bffdf972a
## Why
A checkpoint produced by a previous model may be incompatible with the selected Guardian reviewer. Legacy review must retain user restrictions and verified answers across compaction and restart until a compatible checkpoint is available.
## What changed
- Expose retained user evidence independently of whether Guardian reviews the legacy transcript or parent context.
- Resolve the selected reviewer's compaction compatibility hash during resume and remote compaction. Preserve the legacy transcript when checkpoint compatibility is unknown or mismatched.
- Activate parent-context review immediately after compatible compaction and invalidate pending reviews bound to the previous evidence policy. Ordinary compaction preserves pending reviews.
- Keep strict compatibility checks for previously migrated checkpoints whose complete legacy transcript is no longer available.
## Testing
Add coverage for mismatched checkpoint hashes, retained evidence during legacy review, and pending-review cancellation on migration. Add a request-history scenario covering a model switch, incompatible automatic compaction, restart, and compatible manual compaction with preserved user restrictions and verified answers.
GitOrigin-RevId: b52bfd7c21ce7ebed482174c8d7c327e50b1ada8
## Why
Older compaction checkpoints can lack a producer model hash. Enabling thread-owned Guardian context must accommodate those checkpoints without losing user instructions or verified answers.
## What changed
- Select review policy from each history snapshot independently of the session's evidence capture policy.
- Keep legacy review for checkpoints with missing or empty producer hashes when the transcript preserves the evidence. Preserve strict compatibility checks when review depends on retained-only evidence.
- Continue capturing retained instructions and answers during migration, while supplying legacy reviews with runtime answers and subagent reviews with root authorization evidence.
- Record producer model hashes on new compactions regardless of context mode.
## Testing
Add coverage for checkpoint migration across compaction and resume in both history storage modes, snapshot policy stability, retained-evidence preservation, and authorization revalidation for owning sessions and subagents.
GitOrigin-RevId: ec72b4a51d40729173e24ac1b53b7d516ddaa825
## 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
A summary-free parent context reset could reuse a Guardian review session and carry forward rationale from before the reset.
## What changed
Track destructive history replacements with `reset_version` and include it in the Guardian session reuse key. Ordinary input and compaction preserve this version.
## Testing
Update the review-session reuse test to require a new Guardian thread after a summary-free reset, with no prior review context or previous rationale.
GitOrigin-RevId: bd05c149774839f68b75294751f7619ba7ce0bfe
## Why
Direct tool-call records need to stay associated with the invocation that produced each output, including when call IDs are reused. Completeness must describe the recorded call inventory, independently of tool success.
## What changed
- Attach direct-call records to outputs before they enter history, and set `tool_calls_complete` when the invocation's arguments are fully recorded.
- Bound pending recordings and retained metadata, release reservations on completion or cancellation, and invalidate pending records when capture is disabled.
- Apply request budgets to direct metadata and strip it from inference and compaction inputs when capture is disabled.
- Remove executed-call metadata from app-server raw response notifications and exclude its size from Guardian history retention budgets.
- Track call IDs that bypass dispatch so their reuse cannot incorrectly establish Code Mode completeness.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for direct-call attribution, malformed calls, metadata budgets, cancellation, configuration changes, compaction, notification filtering, and Guardian context isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ebd39c7f141d04788736491495109841656b4c0
## Why
Serialized response items include message IDs, metadata, and JSON escaping that inflate token estimates without adding model-visible content.
## What changed
- Estimate each response item from its content, retaining JSON syntax for structured tool payloads.
- Apply image estimates to all image inputs, including non-base64 URLs, and count audio and encrypted content through their modality-specific estimates.
- Exclude plaintext reasoning and bookkeeping-only items from replay accounting.
## Testing
Update unit expectations for text, images, audio, and encrypted content. Add a remote compaction regression test showing that equal-length text produces identical token usage estimates despite different message IDs, metadata, and JSON escaping, while preserving the submitted messages.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1c43d5abbcc1668b4ab413901a2b4b6511ca5892
## What changed
Remove `thread/rollback`, its request and response types, generated bindings, and the core `Op::ThreadRollback` operation. Requests now follow the generic unknown-method rejection path. Document `thread/revert` as the alternative for paginated threads.
Keep historical `ThreadRolledBack` markers and legacy error deserialization so existing rollouts remain compatible with replay and migration.
## Testing
Adapt retained-context and Guardian history tests to append legacy rollback markers and resume threads, preserving coverage of surviving instructions, answers, and review history.
GitOrigin-RevId: b3da1becdf86b1869275aacb0ffc2817cee5af2e
## What changed
- Add `disabled_plugin_ids` to thread startup options, settings overrides, snapshots, and persisted turn contexts. Omitted overrides preserve the current list; an empty list clears it.
- Restore the selection on resume and capture it before truncating history for a fork. Prefer the owning thread's latest settings snapshot, falling back only to the latest turn context so stale history cannot resurrect an older selection.
- Freeze the selection at turn admission and retain compatibility with histories that lack the new fields.
## Testing
Add coverage for owned settings, explicit clears, latest-turn fallback, and legacy snapshots. Extend settings tests to cover plugin selection during runtime restoration and compaction, and verify initial turn persistence without extra settings checkpoints in both history modes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 75ffbff5763cd93cc5ac69d73b08b237f59bc009
## Why
Replaying tool outputs under a different model can expand or shrink the history shown to the model if truncation uses the new model's budget.
## What changed
Save the originating history truncation budget on function and custom tool outputs and reuse it during replay, preserving existing tool-specific overrides. Include the existing 20% serialization allowance once, before converting byte budgets to tokens.
Rename the metadata field to `history_truncation_token_limit` while retaining `fallback_token_limit_override` as its serialized name for compatibility.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for resume and fork with different model budgets, including custom tool outputs. Extend unit coverage for existing overrides and byte-budget conversion.
GitOrigin-RevId: a62c8fd3e43198e2252b150fba72f022939c1070
## Why
A standalone root forked from a worker needs its inherited user instructions for Guardian review, including after compaction. Parent input counters belong to a different thread, and omitted parent answers may have restricted an inherited authorization.
## What changed
- Adopt inherited user instructions into thread-owned retained context for standalone roots, recovering surviving checkpoint messages when needed.
- Keep inherited instructions before local evidence without sharing local acceptance counters, and preserve that distinction during reconciliation and rollback.
- Mark parent verified answers as incomplete and treat recovered checkpoint instructions as incomplete excerpts.
## Testing
Add coverage for standalone forks from copied history and truncated checkpoints, retention through compaction and resume, inherited/local ordering collisions, and rollback scope.
GitOrigin-RevId: bf716e224a1d29d6c528ef0dd7cdb118a413a08c
## Why
Incomplete retained checkpoints can omit root user instructions that still survive in live history. Queued input can also reach model history after a later-accepted answer, so recording order cannot reliably order grants and restrictions for subagent authorization reviews.
## What changed
- Reconcile retained evidence with surviving local user messages using source identity and persisted acceptance order, including answers present only in the checkpoint.
- Preserve checkpoint gaps and mark evidence incomplete when recovered instructions lack an order or conflict with an existing order.
- Restore the input-order counter from surviving local metadata so new instructions sort after recovered evidence, even without a retained checkpoint.
## Testing
Add unit coverage for source matching, acceptance ordering, persistent gaps, conflicting orders, and counter restoration. Extend subagent authorization tests to cover checkpoint resume, queued approvals, missing sources, and a subsequent revocation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8bfbfd2c797d725796187e5cecf7f3f11a5f3380
## What changed
Resolve `GuardianContextMode` once at session construction and share it across history retention, replay, evidence capture, compaction, and review consumers.
Extract synchronous reviewer context policy and consolidate Guardian V2 parent checkpoint selection so sampling and fast approval use the same eligibility checks. Preserve legacy checkpoint omission and strict compatibility requirements for thread-owned context.
## Testing
Adapt existing review and history tests to the explicit context mode. Move checkpoint tests alongside the extracted selector, retaining coverage for latest-item identity, unusable checkpoints, and complete-item size limits.
GitOrigin-RevId: c73fb6fea556921acfffe758a5f709d7494019dd
## Why
Guardian reviews must not lose user authorization constraints or reuse an
unreadable or incompatible parent checkpoint after compaction.
## What changed
- Retain bounded excerpts of oversized root user messages across compaction,
resume, and rollback, and recover excerpts from legacy Guardian history when
available.
- Require thread-owned Guardian review sessions and asynchronous scoring to
reuse only non-empty checkpoints produced by a compatible review model.
- Fail closed instead of reviewing without the required checkpoint when reuse
is disabled, compatibility is unknown, or checkpoint content is unusable.
## Testing
Expanded retained-context, review-session, asynchronous-scoring, and app-server
coverage for oversized instructions, legacy recovery, model incompatibility,
missing content, resume, rollback, and disabled checkpoint reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: f30d837197e0d838e656a632109f490c38208f5e
## Why
Guardian reviews need the original user instructions even when compaction or
transcript selection removes them from the active conversation window.
## What changed
- Capture complete user messages in host-owned retained context and include them
as ordered authorization evidence alongside verified answers.
- Omit oversized instructions atomically and emit an explicit incomplete-evidence
notice instead of exposing a potentially misleading partial permission.
- Mark user messages inherited by forked agents so they remain model-visible
without becoming child-local authorization.
## Testing
- Cover retained instructions across compaction, resume, rollback, and agent
forks, including oversized evidence and legacy context behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 97122509d818c90d2f87c6a1b29c99c05ad0316e
## Why
Queued prompts and `request_user_input` answers can be persisted in a different
order from when the host accepted them. Using persistence order can therefore
reorder retained instructions during replay or apply the wrong rollback
boundary.
## What changed
- Reserve an acceptance sequence for user prompts and elicitation responses
when retained thread context is enabled.
- Persist that sequence with user-message metadata and verified answers, and
use it when ordering, bounding, replaying, and rolling back retained context.
- Keep events without acceptance metadata compatible with legacy recording
order.
## Testing
- Cover delayed queued-input recording, rejected prompts, checkpoint replay,
compaction, rollback migration, and legacy retained-context behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 42d24465cc2033bc51c0c2da79d3c0884a8ad98a
## Why
Guardian review needs the original user instructions alongside verified answers, even after compaction, resume, or rollback. A summarized or legacy checkpoint cannot establish a complete instruction history.
## What changed
- Capture text user messages in retained context when `guardian_thread_context` is enabled, preserving their message identity through compaction and replay.
- Keep retained instructions and verified answers in arrival order, with independent size and completeness tracking for each family.
- Roll back retained evidence at the exact user-message boundary, including steers that share a turn ID, and apply the same semantics during rollout migration.
- Treat checkpoints without retained user messages as incomplete while preserving their verified answers.
## Testing
- Cover capture, compaction, resume, rollback, child forks, legacy checkpoints, storage bounds, and rollout migration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 72706731b54e5ac8645db61b446d2401afb42235
## Why
Guardian can reuse an opaque parent compaction only when the checkpoint's
recorded producer hash matches the scoring model. Missing or incompatible
provenance must not allow an asynchronous score or cached approval to omit
compacted context.
## What changed
- Record the producing model's compatibility hash on compaction history items
and expose the latest checkpoint hash through conversation snapshots.
- In thread-owned context mode, fail closed and require synchronous review when
checkpoint reuse is enabled but the latest checkpoint is incompatible or has
unknown provenance.
- Reject incompatible checkpoints in the sampler while preserving the legacy
context behavior.
## Testing
Add coverage for local, remote, resumed, compacted, and rolled-back histories,
including matching, mismatched, missing, and empty compatibility hashes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1ce959cb276edc602fd7dfa442133c7fe5e53857
## Why
Reasoning configuration changes need to retain their position and trusted provenance when model history is persisted and replayed. Client-injected history must not be able to forge these controls.
## What changed
- Add a typed `configuration_update` response item carrying reasoning effort, including custom model-defined values.
- Persist harness-authored updates with provenance and preserve them across history reconstruction, thread resume, raw response notifications, and agent forks.
- Exclude untrusted configuration updates from model history, strip client-supplied provenance metadata, and reject configuration updates supplied as turn input.
- Export the new item through the JSON and TypeScript app-server schemas and classify it in telemetry and persistence metrics.
## Testing
- Cover serialization, provenance persistence, history filtering and rollback, resume reconstruction, and injection attempts before and after restart.
GitOrigin-RevId: eb5559d2b52b7a931621e7c9812f009ff9fb8939
## Why
A steer creates a new instruction boundary without creating a new turn ID. Retained `request_user_input` answers that share that turn ID must not all be discarded when only the later steer is rolled back.
## What changed
- Associate retained answers with their originating function call and instruction boundary.
- Keep answers whose source calls survive rollback, including through compaction, resume, and rollout migration.
- Remove answers whose source calls belong to the rolled-back instruction.
## Testing
- Cover live rollback and resume with answers before and after a steer.
- Cover rollout migration when delayed answers share a turn ID but originate from different calls.
GitOrigin-RevId: 225e7eb7b6a3ae5a5e7fa6fcb80cb7d259db90d0
## Why
Compaction replaces the model history window, but host-verified user answers may
still be needed for the rest of the owning thread.
## What changed
- Add bounded, model-invisible retained context for verified
`request_user_input` answers.
- Persist retained context in rollout events and compaction checkpoints, and
restore it when a thread resumes.
- Remove answers when their source turns are rolled back, and prevent
parent-local answers from being inherited by child forks.
## Testing
Add lifecycle coverage for deduplication and size limits, compaction and resume,
rollback, rollout migration, and child forks.

## Why
Guardian review evidence must remain available after a compacted thread is resumed or forked, while rolled-back or parent-local evidence must not grant authorization in a different context.
## What changed
- Store the bounded, model-invisible Guardian transcript alongside compacted rollout history and restore it from the newest surviving checkpoint during replay.
- Trim Guardian history at rollback boundaries, clearing it when the boundary has already been evicted.
- Preserve the checkpoint for user-initiated forks, but remove it when spawning a subagent so parent review evidence is not inherited.
- Keep the new rollout field optional for compatibility with existing compacted records and legacy readers.
## Testing
- Cover Guardian history across compaction, restart, paginated and pathless stores, user forks, rollback, bounded replay, serialization, and subagent forks.

## Why
Resumed threads need to continue per-turn and per-thread token totals without scanning arbitrarily far beyond the latest compaction checkpoint.
## What changed
- Add durable `TokenUsageRecord` rollout items with response, turn, thread, session, and root-turn attribution.
- Restore accumulated usage on resume and snapshot the latest record plus the compaction response ID in compaction checkpoints.
- Preserve root-turn lineage in persisted turn context, while ensuring forked child threads start with their own usage totals.
## Testing
- Cover usage accumulation across multiple responses and resumed turns.
- Cover local and remote compaction checkpoints, invalid remote compaction output, rollout reconstruction, and fork isolation.

## Why
Context compaction can replace original conversation items that Guardian still needs to review approval-sensitive actions.
## What changed
- Retain a bounded, chronological review history independently of the model's compacted history.
- Keep separate limits for user messages and other transcript items so tool traffic cannot evict user instructions.
- Use the retained evidence for synchronous and asynchronous Guardian transcripts, while resetting it after rollback or history reconstruction.
## Testing
- Cover retention through compaction and eviction, reset behavior after rollback, independent size limits, and asynchronous transcript construction.
GitOrigin-RevId: c5851e992820504fc18de8cfec7f6f9f1b69f316
## Why
Compaction and host-injected context can rewrite the model-visible conversation
without changing what the user authorized. Treating those updates as authorization
changes prevents Guardian from reusing an otherwise valid review.
## What changed
- Track a host-owned user-message revision separately from the conversation history
generation.
- Advance the revision for genuine user messages and history resets, while preserving
it across compaction and internal context injection.
- Use message content-kind metadata to distinguish host context from user input,
conservatively treating unknown or incomplete metadata as user authorization.
## Testing
Added coverage that cached Guardian authorization survives compaction and internal
context, but is invalidated by user input and rollback.

## What changed
- Add a positive `output_token_limit` setting to each entry under an MCP server's `tools` configuration.
- Apply the most restrictive limit when plugin and user policies overlap, while keeping approval policy independent.
- Carry the effective MCP output budget in conversation history so tool output, post-tool hook responses, and resumed sessions use the same truncation limit.
## Testing
- Cover configuration parsing, serialization, schema validation, and plugin policy merging.
- Cover MCP output below and above the configured limit, post-tool hook responses, and session resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: d0beb4fca9ba6055d9e1d31c137373b465d50d61
## What changed
- Add bundled proactivity and follow-up guidance when `ReasoningEffort::Persistent` is selected.
- Allow model metadata to override or disable the guidance with `persistent_instructions`.
- Track the instructions as world state so effort and model changes replace or retire stale guidance without duplicating unchanged context.
- Tailor approval guidance to `send_user_message_async` availability, rebuild it for forked agents and rolled-back history, and exclude Guardian sessions.
## Testing
- Cover default, overridden, disabled, replaced, and retired instructions.
- Cover model changes, history transitions, agent forks, Guardian sessions, and asynchronous-message tool availability.
GitOrigin-RevId: 78e05d0335a70b385bd069b45edcd4ba570cef91
## 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
Thread settings can change while a turn is running, and delegated review or
compaction steps can select a different model. Each request needs a consistent
set of settings resolved against the model that will execute it.
## What changed
- Capture immutable resolved settings for each model step, including model
metadata, reasoning options, service tier, approvals, and personality.
- Keep in-flight steps on their captured settings while applying thread updates
to subsequent work.
- Resolve inherited reasoning summaries and filter service tiers against the
selected model and feature configuration for review and compaction steps.
## Testing
Added coverage for settings updates during paused turns, model changes,
previous-model compaction, review-model defaults, and service-tier filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: fca4b3b305379f1bf26a5cac75ee0dd1747ac1f6
## Why
History estimation and executed-tool-call limits only need the size of serialized JSON, not the serialized output itself.
## What changed
- Add a shared `serialized_json_bytes` helper that streams JSON into a byte counter.
- Use it for response-item size estimates and executed-tool-call argument limits.
- Preserve serialization errors so callers can apply their existing fallback behavior.
## Testing
- Cover response-item sizing with escaped characters, newlines, and multibyte text.
