Adds the app-server v2 goal API on top of the persisted goal state from
PR 1.
## Why
Clients need a stable app-server surface for reading and controlling
materialized thread goals before the model tools and TUI can use them.
Goal changes also need to be observable by app-server clients, including
clients that resume an existing thread.
## What changed
- Added v2 `thread/goal/get`, `thread/goal/set`, and `thread/goal/clear`
RPCs for materialized threads.
- Added `thread/goal/updated` and `thread/goal/cleared` notifications so
clients can keep local goal state in sync.
- Added resume/snapshot wiring so reconnecting clients see the current
goal state for a thread.
- Added app-server handlers that reconcile persisted rollout state
before direct goal mutations.
- Updated the app-server README plus generated JSON and TypeScript
schema fixtures for the new API surface.
## Verification
- Added app-server v2 coverage for goal get/set/clear behavior,
notification emission, resume snapshots, and non-local thread-store
interactions.
## Summary
Adds the debug CLI entry point for reducing recorded rollout traces.
This gives developers a direct way to inspect whether the emitted trace
stream reduces into the expected conversation/runtime model.
## Stack
This is PR 5/5 in the rollout trace stack.
- [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout
trace crate
- [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core
session rollout traces
- [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and
code-mode boundaries
- [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions
and multi-agent edges
- [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace
reduction command
## Review Notes
This PR is intentionally last: it depends on the trace crate, core
recorder, runtime/tool events, and session/agent edge data all existing.
The command should remain a debug/developer tool and avoid adding new
runtime behavior.
The useful review question is whether the CLI exposes the reducer in the
smallest practical way for local inspection without turning the debug
command into a supported user-facing workflow.

## Summary
Wires rollout trace recording into `codex-core` session and turn
execution. This records the core model request/response, compaction, and
session lifecycle boundaries needed for replay without yet tracing every
nested runtime/tool boundary.
## Stack
This is PR 2/5 in the rollout trace stack.
- [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout
trace crate
- [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core
session rollout traces
- [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and
code-mode boundaries
- [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions
and multi-agent edges
- [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace
reduction command
## Review Notes
This layer is the first live integration point. The important review
question is whether trace recording is isolated from normal session
behavior: trace failures should not become user-visible execution
failures, and recording should preserve the existing turn/session
lifecycle semantics.
The PR depends on the reducer/data model from the first stack entry and
only introduces the core recorder surface that later PRs use for richer
runtime and relationship events.
## Summary
Allow guardian to skip other fields and output only
`{"outcome":"allow"}` when the command is low risk.
This change lets guardian reviews use a non-strict text format while
keeping the JSON schema itself as plain user-visible schema data, so
transport strictness is carried out-of-band instead of through a schema
marker key.
## What changed
- Add an explicit `output_schema_strict` flag to model prompts and pass
it into `codex-api` text formatting.
- Set guardian reviewer prompts to non-strict schema validation while
preserving strict-by-default behavior for normal callers.
- Update the guardian output contract so definitely-low-risk decisions
may return only `{"outcome":"allow"}`.
- Treat bare allow responses as low-risk approvals in the guardian
parser.
- Add tests and snapshots covering the non-strict guardian request and
optional guardian output fields.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian::tests::guardian`
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-core client_common::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol
user_input_serialization_includes_final_output_json_schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `git diff --check`
Note: `cargo test -p codex-core` was also attempted, but this desktop
environment injects ambient config/proxy state that causes unrelated
config/session tests expecting pristine defaults to fail.

## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
Deferred dynamic tools need to round-trip a namespace so a tool returned
by `tool_search` can be called through the same registry key that core
uses for dispatch.
This change adds namespace support for dynamic tool specs/calls,
persists it through app-server thread state, and routes dynamic tool
calls by full `ToolName` while still sending the app the leaf tool name.
Deferred dynamic tools must provide a namespace; non-deferred dynamic
tools may remain top-level.
It also introduces `LoadableToolSpec` as the shared
function-or-namespace Responses shape used by both `tool_search` output
and dynamic tool registration, so dynamic tools use the same wrapping
logic in both paths.
Validation:
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core tool_search`

## Why
This PR prepares the stack to enable Clippy await-holding lints that
were left disabled in #18178. The mechanical lock-scope cleanup is
handled separately; this PR is the documentation/configuration layer for
the remaining await-across-guard sites.
Without explicit annotations, reviewers and future maintainers cannot
tell whether an await-holding warning is a real concurrency smell or an
intentional serialization boundary.
## What changed
- Configures `clippy.toml` so `await_holding_invalid_type` also covers
`tokio::sync::{MutexGuard,RwLockReadGuard,RwLockWriteGuard}`.
- Adds targeted `#[expect(clippy::await_holding_invalid_type, reason =
...)]` annotations for intentional async guard lifetimes.
- Documents the main categories of intentional cases: active-turn state
transitions that must remain atomic, session-owned MCP manager accesses,
remote-control websocket serialization, JS REPL kernel/process
serialization, OAuth persistence, external bearer token refresh
serialization, and tests that intentionally serialize shared global or
session-owned state.
- For external bearer token refresh, documents the existing
serialization boundary: holding `cached_token` across the provider
command prevents concurrent cache misses from starting duplicate refresh
commands, and the current behavior is small enough that an explicit
expectation is easier to maintain than adding another synchronization
primitive.
## Verification
- `cargo clippy -p codex-login --all-targets`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-connectors --all-targets`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --all-targets`
- The follow-up PR #18698 enables `await_holding_invalid_type` and
`await_holding_lock` as workspace `deny` lints, so any undocumented
remaining offender will fail Clippy.

Wires patch_updated events through app_server. These events are parsed
and streamed while apply_patch is being written by the model. Also adds 500ms of buffering to the patch_updated events in the diff_consumer.
The eventual goal is to use this to display better progress indicators in
the codex app.
## Summary
This is the AgentAssertion downstream slice for feature-gated agent
identity support, replacing the oversized AgentAssertion slice from PR
#17807.
It isolates task-scoped downstream AgentAssertion wiring on top of the
merged PR3.1 work without re-carrying the earlier agent registration,
task registration, or task-state history.
This PR includes the task-scoped bug-fix call sites from the review:
generic file upload auth, MCP OpenAI file upload auth, and ARC monitor
auth. Broader user/control-plane calls move to PR4.1 and PR4.2.
## Stack
- PR1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17385 - add
`features.use_agent_identity`
- PR2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17386 - register agent
identities when enabled
- PR3: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387 - register agent tasks
when enabled
- PR3.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17978 - persist and
prewarm registered tasks per thread
- PR4: this PR - use task-scoped `AgentAssertion` downstream when
enabled
- PR4.1: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18094 - introduce
AuthManager-owned background/control-plane `AgentAssertion` auth
- PR4.2: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18260 - use background
task auth for additional backend/control-plane calls
## What Changed
- add AgentAssertion envelope generation in `codex-core`
- route downstream HTTP and websocket auth through AgentAssertion when
an agent task is present
- extend the model-provider auth provider so non-bearer authorization
schemes can be passed through cleanly
- make generic file uploads attach the full authorization header value
- make MCP OpenAI file uploads use the cached thread agent task
assertion when present
- make ARC monitor calls use the cached thread agent task assertion when
present
## Why
The original PR had drifted ancestry and showed a much larger diff than
the semantic change actually required. Restacking it onto PR3.1 keeps
the reviewable surface down to the downstream assertion slice.

## Summary
- Reverts PR #17749 so queued inter-agent mail can again preempt after
reasoning/commentary output item boundaries.
- Applies the revert to the current `codex/turn.rs` module layout and
restores the prior pending-input test expectations/snapshots.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all pending_input`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` failed in unrelated
`tools::js_repl::tests::js_repl_imported_local_files_can_access_repl_globals`:
dotslash download hit `mktemp: mkdtemp failed ... Operation not
permitted` in the sandbox temp dir.
