## Why
Directly deserializing the flattened `RolloutLine` envelope can reject nested
decimal values, preventing affected paginated sessions from resuming.
## What changed
- Add canonical string, byte, and reverse-scanner helpers that decode rollout
records through `serde_json::Value` before decoding the flattened item.
- Route rollout readers across session discovery, history, migration, search,
thread storage, and transcript previews through those helpers.
- Remove `Deserialize` from `RolloutLine` so new readers cannot bypass the
canonical persistence decoder.
## Testing
Add coverage that resumes a paginated rollout after a token-count record with
a decimal rate-limit value and verifies that ordinal sequencing continues.

## What changed
- Preserve each contextual fragment's `ContentItemKind` when converting it to a response message.
- Classify user text, image, and audio content as `user.text`, `user.image`, and `user.audio` in their original order.
- Give additional context key-specific `additional_content.<key>` kinds and retain annotations on generated messages such as image resize notices and interrupted-turn markers.
## Testing
- Expand request-level coverage to verify content-kind annotations across mixed-modality turns, additional context, reminders, budgets, skills, model switching, subagents, and image resizing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 671e4545f39b335525c60d2a5df4608e8068cafc
## What changed
- Add `TurnInputRequest` and typed submission results for atomically starting a turn, steering the active turn, or declining input with a specific reason.
- Expose `start_or_steer_turn`, `start_turn_if_idle`, and `steer_turn` on `CodexThread`, and migrate Core consumers to these APIs.
- Make app-server `turn/start` steer an active regular turn and return that turn's ID. Reject incompatible output schemas and non-steerable turns without applying settings or enqueueing input.
## Testing
- Cover concurrent start-or-steer submissions, accepted and rejected settings updates, output-schema compatibility, idle-start rejection, and app-server steering.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd9b5528d76ec650c019e97af420bc13190ea86a
## What changed
- Mark developer messages received from clients with `client_authored` harness
metadata when `retain_client_developer_messages` is enabled.
- Carry that provenance through pending input and persist it alongside rollout
response items without adding it to provider requests or the serialized
`TurnInput` payload.
- Preserve existing behavior for unannotated response items and when the
feature is disabled.
## Testing
- Cover client item injection before and during turns, additional application
context, rollout replay, image resize notices, and serialization boundaries.
GitOrigin-RevId: f385c177732becde732272e4b8440eb91f5c1039
## What changed
- Wrap response items with optional harness-owned metadata while keeping the persisted response payload shape backward compatible.
- Store compacted-history metadata in an aligned sidecar and reject malformed sidecars.
- Carry metadata through history normalization, compaction, resume, fork, truncation, migration, and rollout recording without sending it to model providers.
## Testing
- Cover legacy rollout compatibility, metadata serialization and validation, compaction retention, and resume/fork reconstruction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 17a6127c9048ff984cb4df4d97c0751a38c29f5f
## What changed
- Add `codex-history` for model-history and persisted-rollout domain types, including `RolloutItem`, `RolloutLine`, `CompactedItem`, and initial/resumed history state.
- Re-export the persisted types from `codex-rollout` and update consumers to use the new crate boundary instead of `codex-protocol`.
- Preserve existing rollout serialization, including legacy numeric compacted-window IDs.
## Testing
- Add `codex-history` tests for rollout JSON round trips, compacted-history compatibility, persisted history modes, and multi-agent version selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 944daa9297ddd231d3aebbdcb05fff4adf8b4e1b
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `image_resize_notice` feature.
- When enabled, append a developer message after resized images from user
messages or tool outputs. The notice identifies each image and reports its
original and prepared dimensions.
- Persist notices with new history while avoiding backfilled notices for images
processed when a session is resumed.
## Testing
- Cover notice placement, image numbering, failed images, user and tool image
sources, and resumed-session replay.
GitOrigin-RevId: 11dd808b3ad47eac35e9e2f4a4370f85d0122770
## What changed
- Assign IDs to client-created response items in every session, including streamed items, forked history, compaction results, and non-OpenAI provider requests.
- Preserve server-provided IDs and stable generated IDs across persisted and resumed conversations while continuing to omit unprefixed server IDs from outbound requests.
- Retire `features.item_ids` as a configurable feature. Existing configuration and CLI toggles remain accepted as compatibility no-ops.
## Testing
- Cover default ID assignment, persistence and resume behavior, remote compaction, provider requests, WebSocket requests, and removed-feature compatibility.

## Description
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355 and
starts assigning `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` to
durable Responses API items created during a turn.
The goal is that those items keep the `turn_id` that introduced them
when Codex resends stateless HTTP context, reconstructs history for
resume/fork paths, or reuses websocket response state.
## What changed
- Set `internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough.turn_id` when missing
as response items enter durable history, initial/replacement history,
inter-agent communication history, and local compaction summaries.
- Preserve existing item turn IDs instead of overwriting them during
persistence, resume reconstruction, compaction, forked history, and
websocket incremental reuse.
- Keep `compaction_trigger` fieldless because it is a request control,
not a durable response item.
- Update focused history/request assertions and fixtures for stateless
requests, websocket incrementals, compaction, thread injection, prompt
debug, and related CI coverage.
## Description
This PR cuts Codex over from generic `ResponseItem.metadata` (introduced
here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355) to
`ResponseItem.internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough`, which is the
blessed path and has strongly-typed keys.
For now we have to drop this MAv2 usage of `metadata`:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28561 until we figure out where
that should live.
## What
- make Fjord's centralized response-item image preparation unconditional
for new and resumed history
- have local user images and `view_image` outputs always defer decoding
and resizing to that path
- retain `resize_all_images` as an ignored, removed compatibility key
for released clients
- delete the flag-off producer paths and obsolete policy-specific tests
## Why
Centralized preparation is now the intended image path. Keeping the
runtime feature checks also kept two image-processing implementations
alive and allowed client config to select the legacy behavior.
This is a clean replacement for #28975, rebuilt from the latest `main`.
## How
`prepare_response_items` now runs whenever items enter history and
whenever persisted history is reconstructed. Producers emit deferred
image data, so malformed images become the existing model-visible
placeholder instead of failing the session at the producer.
## Test plan
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-features`
- `just test -p codex-features` — 52 passed
- focused affected `codex-core` set — 20 passed
- `just test -p codex-core handle_accepts_explicit_high_detail` — 1
passed
- full `just test -p codex-core` attempt — 2,723 passed; 88 unrelated
environment failures from read-only `~/.codex` SQLite state and
unavailable integration helper binaries
## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Why
Thread cwd and environment selections are a single logical setting in
core: updating one without the other can silently desynchronize the
next-turn execution context. This change makes that relationship
explicit in the internal thread settings flow while preserving the
existing app-server public API shape.
## What changed
- Moved the cwd/environment pair through internal
`ThreadSettingsOverrides.environment_settings` instead of a top-level
internal `cwd` field.
- Kept `thread/settings/update` public params unchanged, with app-server
translating top-level `cwd` into the paired internal settings shape.
- Moved `Op::UserInput` environment overrides into thread settings so
user turns and settings updates use the same core path.
- Updated core, app-server, MCP, memories, sample, and test callsites to
construct the paired settings shape.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- Local test run starting after PR creation.
## Why
Thread settings cwd overrides are expected to be resolved before they
enter core. Keeping this boundary as a plain `PathBuf` made it easy for
core/session code to keep fallback normalization and relative-path
resolution logic in places that should only receive an already-resolved
cwd.
This is intentionally the absolute-cwd-only slice: it does not change
environment selection stickiness or cwd-to-default-environment fallback
behavior.
## What changed
- Changes `ThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`,
`CodexThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`, and `SessionSettingsUpdate.cwd` to
use `AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Removes core-side cwd normalization/resolution from session settings
updates.
- Updates affected core/app-server test helpers and callsites to pass
existing absolute cwd values or use `abs()` helpers.
## Validation
Opening as draft so CI can start while local validation continues.
## Why
Local image attachments include image bytes, but the adjacent
model-visible label omits the source path. Exposing the path lets
model-selected workflows refer back to the intended local image
explicitly.
## What changed
- Include an escaped `path` attribute in model-visible local image
opening tags.
- Reuse the path-aware marker generator in rollout coverage.
- Update protocol, replay, and rollout coverage for the new request
shape.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-core skips_local_image_label_text`
- `just test -p codex-core
copy_paste_local_image_persists_rollout_request_shape`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Remote image submissions currently wrap native `input_image` spans in
literal `<image>` and `</image>` text spans. Those extra prompt tokens
add structure without providing label or routing information.
## What Changed
- Serialize `UserInput::Image` directly as an `input_image` content
span.
- Preserve named local-image framing and legacy wrapper parsing for
labeled attachments and existing histories.
- Update existing request-shape expectations for drag-and-drop images,
model switching, and compaction.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-protocol`
- Focused `codex-core` run covering
`drag_drop_image_persists_rollout_request_shape`,
`model_change_from_image_to_text_strips_prior_image_content`, and
`snapshot_request_shape_pre_turn_compaction_including_incoming_user_message`
## Notes
- A broader `just test -p codex-core` run was attempted; the affected
tests passed, while the overall run failed in unrelated CLI, MCP, and
tooling tests plus a `thread_manager` timeout.
## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## Summary
- Add optional image detail to user image inputs across core, app-server
v2, thread history/event mapping, and the generated app-server
schemas/types.
- Preserve requested detail when serializing Responses image inputs:
omitted detail stays on the existing `high` default, while explicit
`original` keeps local images on the original-resolution path.
- Support `high`/`original` consistently for tool image outputs,
including MCP `codex/imageDetail`, code-mode image helpers, and
`view_image`.
## Summary
- Add `turn_permission_fields()` so tests that construct `Op::UserTurn`
directly can provide a canonical `PermissionProfile` while still filling
the required legacy `sandbox_policy` compatibility field.
- Migrate direct user-turn construction in core integration tests from
`SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` to `PermissionProfile::Disabled`.
- Continue reducing direct `SandboxPolicy` usage in
`codex-rs/core/tests`, from 41 files after #20010 to 32 files in this
PR.
## Testing
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p core_test_support`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
Per-turn permission overrides should use the same canonical profile
abstraction as session configuration. That lets TUI submissions preserve
exact configured permissions without round-tripping through legacy
sandbox fields.
## What changed
This adds `permission_profile` to user-turn operations, threads it
through TUI/app-server submission paths, fills the new field in existing
test fixtures, and adds coverage that composer submission includes the
configured profile.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui permissions -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all permissions_messages --
--nocapture`

## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
## Summary
Adds support for approvals_reviewer to `Op::UserTurn` so we can migrate
`[CodexMessageProcessor::turn_start]` to use Op::UserTurn
## Testing
- [x] Adds quick test for the new field
Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
- add a local Fast mode setting in codex-core (similar to how model id
is currently stored on disk locally)
- send `service_tier=priority` on requests when Fast is enabled
- add `/fast` in the TUI and persist it locally
- feature flag
Summary is a required parameter on UserTurn. Ideally we'd like the core
to decide the appropriate summary level.
Make the summary optional and don't send it when not needed.
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exported a broad set of types and modules
from `codex-protocol` and `codex-shell-command`. That made it easy for
workspace crates to import those APIs through `codex-core`, which in
turn hides dependency edges and makes it harder to reduce compile-time
coupling over time.
This change removes those public re-exports so call sites must import
from the source crates directly. Even when a crate still depends on
`codex-core` today, this makes dependency boundaries explicit and
unblocks future work to drop `codex-core` dependencies where possible.
## What Changed
- Removed public re-exports from `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` for:
- `codex_protocol::protocol` and related protocol/model types (including
`InitialHistory`)
- `codex_protocol::config_types` (`protocol_config_types`)
- `codex_shell_command::{bash, is_dangerous_command, is_safe_command,
parse_command, powershell}`
- Migrated workspace Rust call sites to import directly from:
- `codex_protocol::protocol`
- `codex_protocol::config_types`
- `codex_protocol::models`
- `codex_shell_command`
- Added explicit `Cargo.toml` dependencies (`codex-protocol` /
`codex-shell-command`) in crates that now import those crates directly.
- Kept `codex-core` internal modules compiling by using `pub(crate)`
aliases in `core/src/lib.rs` (internal-only, not part of the public
API).
- Updated the two utility crates that can already drop a `codex-core`
dependency edge entirely:
- `codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `codex-utils-cli`
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-approval-presets`
- `cargo test -p codex-utils-cli`
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`
- `just clippy`
