## What changed
- Allow `requirements.toml` to manage OpenTelemetry logging flags, tool-result byte limits, environment, and log, trace, and metrics exporters.
- Apply higher-priority managed values over user configuration, replacing exporters atomically and warning when configured values conflict. Preserve unmanaged settings, including `span_attributes` and `tracestate`.
- Expose managed `otel` settings through `configRequirements/read`, apply them in `config/read` without ordinary field origins, and reject configuration writes that overlap managed fields.
- Distinguish omitted tool-result limits from explicit values while preserving the runtime default.
## Testing
Add coverage for requirement precedence, relative TLS paths, override warnings, managed write protection, effective configuration reads, and exporter serialization through the app-server API.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6a3343563bd3acb53a366ea6723684e3d0a4a01d
## What changed
Add optional `otel` requirements to `ConfigRequirements`, with types for logging controls, tool-result byte limits, environment, and telemetry exporters, including OTLP HTTP/gRPC headers and TLS settings.
Update the JSON schemas, precomputed exports, and generated TypeScript and Python bindings. The app-server requirements mapper currently returns `otel: None`.
GitOrigin-RevId: f73edc22efe1ab7fddf51419267daa6cf9fd34c5
## Why
Stdio servers without `CODEX_MCP_PROTOCOL_VERSION` use the legacy handshake, even when they support MCP `2026-07-28`.
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `mcp_connection_sharing` feature to enable discovery for eligible local stdio servers.
- Recover from failed or late discovery with a fresh handshake when needed, waiting for the previous helper to release resources before restarting.
- Retain a working legacy connection when an upgrade attempt fails for the same account, except on authentication errors.
- Keep tool catalogs separate by protocol and invalidate legacy catalogs when discovery negotiates the modern protocol.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for failed and late discovery, legacy fallback, protocol-specific catalog reuse, message limits, and Windows descendant cleanup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 36c675ef3b81d32fccf06ccbddda2312cfe602c9
## Why
Managed network policies need to require approval for selected hosts even when an exact or wildcard allow rule matches them.
## What changed
- Add `experimental_network.review_domains` to managed requirements and route matching hosts through the existing network approval flow. Explicit denials retain precedence, and approved connections still undergo DNS and local-address checks.
- Preserve review patterns across environment policy attachments and remote proxy configuration. Reject execution on an exec-server that lacks the `networkProxyReviewDomains` capability when review patterns are present.
- Expose `reviewDomains` through the app-server requirements API and generated schemas, and show `review_domains` in debug configuration output.
- Update approval reasons to say that network access requires approval rather than assuming the host is absent from the allowlist.
## Testing
Extend coverage for review precedence over exact and wildcard allows, explicit denials, DNS checks after local and remote approvals, approval hooks, policy merging, remote configuration round trips, and requirements API serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4a861061a0ed80b3537d3b72f2caecb0db2a4f0b
## What changed
- Add `application.storage.default_project_parent` and `application.storage.projectless_workspace_root` requirements for new Desktop workspaces. Require absolute paths and reject unknown storage keys.
- Apply managed paths to `desktop.defaultProjectParent` and `desktop.projectlessWorkspaceRoot`, overriding local preferences and rejecting writes to managed settings or their containing table while preserving unrelated Desktop settings.
- Expose storage requirements through `config/requirements/read` and update generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python models.
## Testing
Add coverage for storage validation, per-setting layer precedence, config overrides, write protection, and requirements API responses. Adjust daemon shutdown test deadlines and TUI test synchronization, paste handling, and future allocation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 44b93fe69e6a471c3f485cbf5f9c9ebd34ac3234
## Why
Configuration reloads must cancel stale enterprise MCP startups while preserving access for running threads that still pass validation. Replacing a runtime during `thread/revert` must also leave the replacement able to use enterprise tools.
## What changed
- Separate pending startup cancellation from published thread lifetimes, with independent startup state for forks and replacement runtimes.
- Retain eligible enterprise MCP connections across refreshes and explicit reconnects while applying updated tool restrictions and approvals. Do not create replacement enterprise connections after initial startup.
- Revoke enterprise authorization when a thread is removed, drain requests when access is disabled, and revoke a connection's authority when token renewal requires authentication.
## Testing
Extend regression coverage to verify enterprise tool calls survive `thread/revert`, inherited fork configurations are cancelled after a reload, and enterprise calls fail after logout while ordinary MCP calls remain available.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2d634be3011854b57f73c741bd1ec6b5aed94ee5
## What changed
Add `codex app-server --print-startup-config` to validate local and cloud-backed configuration and emit the app-server version and configuration requirements as JSON without initializing environments, thread storage, or plugins. Configuration failures produce structured JSON errors and a nonzero exit status.
Support `--startup-sign-out` to remove account credentials and reload signed-out requirements, including recovery when cloud policy is unavailable. Reject sign-out for host-owned external authentication. Accept `--startup-client-info` to identify configuration and authentication requests.
Reuse configuration loading and account cleanup logic between startup discovery and the running app server.
## Testing
Add CLI integration coverage for configuration validation, project login restrictions, managed cloud requirements and failures, sign-out recovery, external authentication protection, and independence from locked or invalid history databases.
GitOrigin-RevId: 636ccb095b684b6136cf9e408f3f8613cb776e16
## Why
Configuration loading can finish before a pending startup is visible to the thread manager. Reloads need a cancellation scope that also covers these configuration snapshots.
## What changed
- Capture an enterprise managed authentication (EMA) cancellation token before loading configuration and carry it through config layers, role overrides, runtime refreshes, and `McpConfig`.
- Cancel the previous scope on MCP or user configuration reloads and cloud config loader changes, then create a fresh scope for subsequent loads.
- Cancel the session's token when enterprise MCP authentication is disabled or a refresh leaves it unavailable.
## Testing
Extend the MCP reload test to verify that existing thread and pending startup tokens are cancelled while a fresh startup receives an uncancelled token.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5fc0658b74c360e7dc9ab3488339fcf19bfe9fae
## What changed
- Add `PreModelRequest` and `PostModelRequest` hooks around model request attempts, including retries. Pass model, session, turn, and optional subagent context; report completion, failure, or cancellation with errors and token usage when available.
- Treat hook output as diagnostic data without allowing it to veto requests or alter model context. Wait for synchronous post-request hooks before dispatching tools, while asynchronous hooks allow streaming tool dispatch to continue.
- Apply memory-consolidation hook filtering and expose the new events through configuration, protocol schemas, generated clients, and the hooks browser.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for failures and retries, ignored control directives, cancellation, synchronous and asynchronous tool ordering, interrupted-turn resume and token accounting, and memory-consolidation filtering. Update hook schema fixtures and hooks browser snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6ed7b39fc8bb94cf467e350d07d97fcc729c21ce
## Why
The app server retained its startup model provider for catalog requests, so signing in or out could leave `model/list` using stale provider settings or requiring a restart after managed provider requirements changed.
## What changed
- Invalidate the catalog after successful login and logout, then reload the effective configuration on the next model list or background refresh. Rebuild the models manager when the provider or catalog changes, while preserving existing threads' routes.
- Retain the original project context and the TUI's `--oss` provider selection across reloads. Retry configuration loading after falling back to defaults so temporary failures do not pin the fallback catalog.
- Keep provider policy checks for cached catalogs and apply runtime `api_key_model_discovery` toggles to the active catalog manager.
## Testing
Add and extend tests for provider selection and definition changes after login, catalog reloads after logout, OAuth gateway transitions, fallback recovery, project context, and runtime model discovery toggles.
GitOrigin-RevId: bce2e23ff567e1a52eac2b6ad736a6e63ff61e2b
## What changed
Add `windows.require_mxc` to managed requirements. When set to `true` on Windows, reject configurations whose effective local sandbox backend is not MXC without changing the selected backend.
Validate after cloud configuration loads and outside startup recovery fallbacks. Apply the check to app-server startup and configuration loads, in-process bootstrap, session creation, sandbox debugging, and runtime configuration refreshes.
## Testing
Extend configuration tests to cover required and optional MXC selection, separately loaded policy requirements, and runtime refresh validation. Expand app-server startup tests to cover local and cloud MXC requirements, cloud preference selection, and failures without default-config recovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16456611bfd9df77e7f959b52515f1885b59ac75
## Why
Fast mode previously gated both Fast and Ultra Fast, preventing policies from allowing one while disabling the other.
## What changed
- Add the default-enabled `features.ultrafast_mode` flag and enforce it independently of `features.fast_mode` in service-tier selection, requests, and agent prewarming.
- Filter TUI service-tier commands and selections by the corresponding policy and model catalog support.
- Report `supportsIndependentSpeedModes: true` from `configRequirements/read` and update the protocol schemas and generated bindings. Retain the shared Fast gate when connecting to older servers that omit this capability.
- Preserve legacy cloud speed denials by translating `rbac-fast-mode` fragments with `fast_mode = false` into a denial of both modes, while retaining higher-priority enterprise overrides.
## Testing
Add coverage for all four Fast/Ultra Fast policy combinations in requirements responses and request routing, agent prewarm inheritance, TUI command visibility and saved selections, and legacy cloud denial normalization and override precedence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 147e08524c4b228ea9d46b25a9f8aa64c359e169
## What changed
Support `browser_use.extension.request_headers` as a list of `name`/`value` pairs and expose it through `config/requirements/read` as `browserUse.extension.requestHeaders`. Update the generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python models.
Preserve header values, including template strings, verbatim. Higher-priority requirement layers replace the entire header list, including with an explicit empty list. Redact header values in Rust debug output while retaining them in API serialization.
## Testing
Add coverage for parsing and malformed entries, extension scoping, empty-list overrides, API mapping and read responses, and debug redaction without changing serialized values.
GitOrigin-RevId: 02299e82a91aa863966d0277091bc5e8cc1ebe07
## What changed
- Remove `namespace_tools` from `ProviderCapabilities` and `namespaceTools` from `ModelProviderCapabilitiesReadResponse`, updating generated schemas and SDK types.
- Preserve tool namespaces and configured collaboration tool namespaces without a provider capability check, and always use Responses Lite tool serialization for Responses Lite requests.
- Gate tool search on `supports_search_tool` and retain the existing image generation and web search checks without requiring a namespace capability.
GitOrigin-RevId: ae1843563736765a40e03a02c41ff5e470018a93
## Why
`windows.allowed_sandbox_implementations` permits MXC regardless of the listed implementations. Managed requirements need a separate way to block both explicit MXC configuration and automatic selection through `prefer_mxc`.
## What changed
Add the optional managed requirement `windows.allow_mxc`. Setting it to `false` disables automatic MXC selection and rejects explicit `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` configuration with an error identifying the requirement. Leaving it unset or setting it to `true` preserves existing behavior.
## Testing
Add coverage for the requirement alongside allowed sandbox implementations, preference resolution, and cloud-managed opt-out behavior for implicit, elevated, and explicit MXC configurations.
GitOrigin-RevId: a458a7b4c92cf17e687dbbad8208884d1c097da5
## What changed
Forward explicit `cyberAccessProgram` selections for the built-in OpenAI provider when both `api_key_cyber_access_programs` and `api_key_model_discovery` are enabled. The new feature defaults to disabled and can be toggled through the app server's experimental feature enablement API.
Reject explicit selections in OpenAI API-key sessions when either feature is disabled, instead of silently omitting the program. Leave entitlement and model restrictions to the server, and preserve the requested program when a server rejection triggers transport retries.
## Testing
Add app-server coverage for both feature gates, forwarding all three program values, and server rejection without fallback. Update core coverage for API-key resumes with disabled features and custom-provider omission.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa639afb841aa651b28f6f3f61198299372baa2d
## Why
Reloads can reject a valid thread configuration when the host configuration references a missing model provider that thread overrides replace. Concurrent cloud refreshes can also leave older policy snapshots or staged cache writes eligible for publication.
## What changed
- Compose preserved session layers before materializing refreshed configuration, retaining source-aware validation errors.
- Carry cloud policy revision bindings through config loading and role overrides. Reject stale MCP refreshes and disable enterprise MCP authorization when the policy is suspended. Retire the old policy when replacing or clearing its loader.
- Stage cloud cache writes in temporary files and publish them atomically only while their policy revision remains current.
- Route file reloads through the shared runtime refresh path, resolve paths relative to each config file, and preserve session settings. Restore host defaults for `secret_auth_storage` and `mcp_oauth_refresh_coordination` when explicit overrides are removed.
## Testing
Add regressions for thread-provided model providers, managed plugin and feature requirement refreshes, stale and suspended policy snapshots, superseded and retired cache writes, and file reloads preserving runtime settings and restoring feature defaults.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3280a2445eeb7074a142f720690bb0e4f01d174b
## Why
Configuration reloads must honor current managed restrictions without granting new enterprise MCP authority to existing sessions or overwriting newer configuration with stale snapshots.
## What changed
- Allow enterprise managed authentication only for configured MCP servers. Remove plugin `ema_auth` overlays from the schema and disable servers that still use them.
- Refresh ordinary MCP settings while preserving session settings and initially admitted enterprise registrations. Disable enterprise MCP when its registration changes, policy revokes access, or configuration loading or resolution fails; require a new session to restore enterprise authority.
- Publish refreshes only when their captured configuration is still current, with bounded retries in app-server reloads. Preserve updated managed restrictions even when a refresh is rejected.
- Finish processing other thread refreshes before `config/mcpServer/reload` reports a rejection, and document that an error can accompany partially applied changes.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for stale refreshes, bounded retries, managed-policy revocation, persistent enterprise disablement, ordinary MCP transport changes, and rejection of plugin enterprise authentication. Verify that denied enterprise servers receive no requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 34429cd339c1ec152a2ee8697cb29f0cff5d9e5f
## What changed
- Remove the private-desktop opt-out from elevated and unelevated Windows sandbox launches.
- Remove `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` and its managed requirement and API fields. Warn users to remove the obsolete setting.
- Require a private desktop name when launching through the Windows sandbox wrapper and command runner.
## Testing
Add coverage for the obsolete-setting migration warning and update wrapper tests to verify a live private desktop is passed and a missing desktop name is rejected.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7135f8d211aac8d812180691c2c1e433d77cde4
## What changed
- Accept `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` and preserve the selected backend through environment configuration, command execution, patch writes, and sandbox metadata.
- Treat MXC as enabled in the TUI and report Windows sandbox readiness as `ready`, avoiding legacy setup prompts.
- Keep `allowed_sandbox_implementations` scoped to the legacy elevated and unelevated backends without restricting MXC.
- Default `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to `false` for MXC while retaining `true` for legacy sandboxes.
## Testing
Add coverage for MXC configuration precedence, legacy requirement handling, sandbox selection, and TUI state. Add a Wine integration test that verifies command and patch routing fails when native MXC is unavailable and reports `windows_mxc` in turn metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: e2162447d0750f60753864c92a20e02a7f297bca
## What changed
- Add an optional `WorkspaceRoutingResolver` to `AuthManager` and pass session configuration into routing lookups. Callers without a resolver retain existing routing behavior.
- Apply resolved backend origins and account routing overrides to eligible ChatGPT Responses HTTP requests and WebSocket handshakes. Preserve endpoint paths, validate routing values, and reject HTTP redirects for routed requests, including `NO_CONSTRAINT` routes.
- Key cached WebSocket connections by destination, routing header, and auth revision. Rebuild request setup after credential refreshes and reject account changes during setup or routing discovery.
- Serialize routing lookups per session and retain whether the session has previously been routed.
## Testing
Add tests for path preservation, provider exclusions, concurrent routing lookups, unavailable resolvers, workspace mismatches, redirect rejection, and credential refresh or account changes during request setup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2b6609019e84a315745c94858955f3f16426fe7f
## Why
`allowedWindowsSandboxImplementations` uses the legacy setup-mode type, which cannot represent `mxc`.
## What changed
- Introduce `WindowsSandboxImplementation` with `elevated`, `unelevated`, and `mxc` variants for configuration requirements, and update the generated schemas and TypeScript and Python types.
- Keep `WindowsSandboxSetupMode` limited to `elevated` and `unelevated`, and update the requirements mapping and its test assertions to use the new type.
- Document that clients selecting `mxc` skip the legacy setup and readiness APIs and use the standard `command/exec` streaming and process-control path.
GitOrigin-RevId: c926e853f0bbdb29d4b437866c284c1394a7ea13
## Why
Configuration requirements did not report which login methods the running app server permits after applying managed policy, forced login settings, and workspace restrictions.
## What changed
- Add `allowedLoginMethods` to `configRequirements/read`, using the running authentication manager's effective policy rather than newly read authentication settings.
- Return requirements when login methods are restricted even without managed requirements, while preserving `requirements: null` for the unrestricted default.
- Update protocol schemas and generated TypeScript and Python types. An empty list permits no login method; older servers may omit the field.
## Testing
Add coverage for managed and forced login restrictions, workspace intersections, policy reporting after requirements files change, invalid login methods, and API-only Amazon Bedrock without ChatGPT requests. Extend tests for conflicting authentication requirements and cloud policy precedence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 56c0767a74143e793aac2ac165d0cbe98a09469b
## What changed
- Support `model_provider` and `model_providers` in managed requirements. Required selection overrides local and session configuration; each required provider definition replaces the corresponding local entry, including its authentication and headers.
- Merge provider requirement fragments before validation, preserving source-relative `auth.cwd` paths. Reject invalid cloud provider definitions before replacing the cached bundle, including unsupported Bedrock overrides.
- Expose `modelProvider` and `modelProviders` through the configuration requirements API and generated schemas. Reject writes to managed provider settings and omit their local origins, including for provider IDs containing dots.
## Testing
Add tests for requirement precedence, authentication fragment merging, path resolution, cloud cache preservation, and read-only configuration RPCs. Integration tests verify that model discovery and inference use the required gateway and ChatGPT authentication without leaking local headers, and that provider requirements survive configuration rebuilds.
GitOrigin-RevId: d1448604d4ef5662ebb5df7b693712d3b8ad6d54
## What changed
Add the default-off `api_key_model_discovery` feature and expose it through app-server experimental feature enablement, respecting user configuration overrides.
When enabled, fetch OpenAI API-key model metadata from the Codex backend, honoring explicit provider base URLs. Treat remote catalogs containing visible models as authoritative. When disabled at startup, skip discovery requests and cached catalogs and retain bundled models.
## Testing
Add coverage for feature enablement and user overrides, cached catalogs across sessions, provider routing, and API-key `model/list` results. Extend coverage for remote instructions and auth-specific cache isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4b189c37c615a7f808cb6ff5f0858a9a55f36ebc
## Why
Hosted Codex Apps shared the `mcp_2026_07_28` protocol setting with other MCP servers, preventing independent protocol selection.
## What changed
- Add `features.codex_apps_mcp_2026_07_28`, disabled by default, for the host-owned HTTP `codex_apps` server. Enabling it attempts 2026-07-28 discovery with Legacy fallback.
- Keep other servers, including third-party registrations with Apps-like names or URLs and local stdio servers, governed by `mcp_2026_07_28`.
- Support the new flag through `experimentalFeature/enablement/set` and refresh protocol settings in existing sessions. Track protocol mode per server when deciding whether to reuse connections.
## Testing
Add coverage for independent feature and protocol selection, hosted event-stream protocol selection, standalone Legacy defaults and discovery fallback, and runtime enablement refreshing an existing app-server thread.
GitOrigin-RevId: 640e8e251f0c45e5f4829cc2b73c3082cf42f715
## What changed
- Parse the optional `[browser_use].allow_webmcp` boolean from managed requirements and preserve requirement-layer precedence.
- Return the policy as `browserUse.allowWebmcp` from `configRequirements/read`, including explicit `true`, explicit `false`, and `null` when omitted.
- Update the generated JSON and TypeScript protocol schemas.
## Testing
- Cover parsing, invalid values, layered overrides, and app-server response serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: a3fd7d1a6f838bb3ab0ac2a644409101a2338ca6
## Why
Loaded threads can retain their previous configuration after a local plugin is
installed, preventing the plugin's bundled MCP servers and pending user-config
changes from taking effect in the current session.
## What changed
- Reload user configuration for loaded threads after installing a local plugin.
- Refresh MCP and hook runtimes only after the new configuration is applied.
- Keep installation successful if configuration reload fails, while logging the
failure.
## Testing
- Verify an installed plugin's MCP tool can be called from a thread that was
started before installation.
- Update the hook runtime test to verify installation applies a staged hook
configuration change to the loaded session.
GitOrigin-RevId: 63f5a5c7f16303e51cf940e8d9dc3b45c50ae2a9
## What changed
- Add `application.network` managed requirements with exact-domain allow/deny
rules, default-enabled behavior, domain normalization, and normal managed TOML
precedence.
- Return the policy separately from agent network requirements through the
experimental `configRequirements/read` API. The endpoint reports the policy
but does not enforce it.
- Export the new protocol types and schemas, and document the TOML format.
## Testing
- Cover parsing, validation, normalization, layered precedence, and cloud
requirement composition.
- Verify app-server responses, defaults, separation from agent policy, and
rejection of invalid domains.
GitOrigin-RevId: 563eeed296d9748430b819797204a44a8db92f3b
## What changed
- Add the default-off `windows_sandbox_service` feature and expose it through
app-server experimental feature enablement.
- When enabled, attempt service provisioning during elevated Windows sandbox
setup, using the effective network proxy ports and listener roles. Continue
through the existing setup path when the service is unavailable or the
configuration is unsupported.
- Report unsupported Codex home drives as service unavailability so the client
can fall back to the elevated helper.
## Testing
- Add a Windows-only unit test covering HTTP and SOCKS listener derivation from
the effective proxy configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 40b119cf51f84e5d0e94d6a0a8d5b506d1123526
## Why
App-server clients can enable `background_paginated_rollout_migration` after the server has started, so the startup-only migration path does not handle that transition.
## What changed
- Allow runtime enablement of `background_paginated_rollout_migration`.
- Start the local rollout migration when the feature transitions from disabled to enabled at runtime.
## Testing
Update the app-server integration test to enable migration through the runtime feature API, wait for paginated history, and verify that cold resume preserves model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: d695624a03b4f056be94fcaac2075f91896f19e5
## What changed
- Add an `Interrupt` hook event that runs for an active top-level turn before its
interrupted abort event is emitted.
- Flush the turn transcript before invoking the hook and provide the session,
turn, transcript, working directory, model, and permission mode in its input.
- Support command and MCP handlers, including asynchronous commands, with a
one-second default timeout and a three-second maximum.
- Expose the event through hook configuration, managed requirements, app-server
notifications, generated schemas, analytics, and the TUI hook views.
## Testing
- Cover handler discovery, timeout normalization, output parsing, protocol
compatibility, TUI rendering, and interrupt execution ordering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 163fa7c098d94ac2775f6d137f8e916f8ea9b6eb
## What changed
- Expand `configRequirements/read` with the Browser/Computer Use umbrella
policy and the complete browser-use policy, including origin-specific access,
download, upload, auto-review, and approval controls.
- Return computer-use persistent approval, default app access, macOS bundle ID
rules, and Windows AUMID and executable rules.
- Export the corresponding v2 protocol types and generated JSON and TypeScript
schemas.
## Testing
- Extend the config requirements RPC test to cover the new browser and
platform-specific computer-use fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: d1be93388701b06312a26853d640401b63b4d535
## What changed
- Add a top-level `allow_browser_and_computer_use` requirement.
- Support browser requirements for history access, automatic review, persistent approvals, and default or per-origin access policies.
- Support computer-use requirements for persistent approvals, default app access, macOS bundle IDs, Windows AUMIDs, and Windows executables.
- Preserve these settings and their sources when composing layered requirements.
## Testing
- Cover deserialization, empty-value detection, source propagation, and layered TOML merging for the new requirements.
GitOrigin-RevId: d14a10b64465f1c54e9bcc3795dc93031e6b029b
## What changed
- Add `additional_developer_instructions` to managed requirements and expose it through `configRequirements/read` as `additionalDeveloperInstructions`, independently of ordinary developer instructions.
- Include the managed instructions in model context, emit explicit replacement or removal messages when requirements change, and preserve the current value across compaction, resume, and agent forks without duplication.
- Reject managed instructions whose rendered context exceeds 10,000 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover requirements layering and API serialization, context updates and removal, size validation, repeated model requests, compaction and resume, rollout migration, and agent forks.
GitOrigin-RevId: bc0b70fb7988944c2f68176dff55f5ed61eb46c8
## What changed
- Add `in_app_browser.allow_external_browser_settings_import` to managed requirements, preserving explicit Boolean values through layered composition while leaving an omitted value unset.
- Return the policy as `inAppBrowser.allowExternalBrowserSettingsImport` from `configRequirements/read` and include it in the generated protocol schemas.
- Keep the import policy independent from the in-app browser feature flag and agent Browser Use requirements.
## Testing
- Cover parsing, managed-layer precedence, invalid values, user and session override resistance, and app-server response serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: efa2621d2b1cf503f1bee2505d9914cb4fb7221d
## What changed
- Add `cli_auth_credentials_store` and `chatgpt_base_url` as exact managed requirements loaded from local requirements configuration.
- Apply these requirements to runtime and bootstrap authentication configuration, overriding user-configured values.
- Expose the managed values through `configRequirements/read` and reject attempts to change them through config write APIs.
- Ignore these local-only authentication requirements in cloud-managed requirement layers.
## Testing
- Cover requirement loading and composition, runtime and bootstrap overrides, app-server responses, and read-only config writes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8ea9c096386072036ca5441f3d48af8707988a65
## What changed
- Filter saved `allow` prefix rules from the execution policy for cyber-specialized models and models listed in `auto_review.ignore_rules`, while preserving prompt, forbidden, network, and host-executable policy entries.
- Apply the filtered policy consistently to permission instructions, shell commands, unified exec, and the zsh-fork backend.
- Limit cyber-model command approvals to one-time decisions without proposing reusable policy amendments. General models continue to honor saved prefixes, including after switching models within a thread.
## Testing
- Add policy-level coverage for filtering allow-prefix rules while retaining restrictive and network rules.
- Add end-to-end coverage across shell and unified exec paths, zsh-fork execution, user and automatic review, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: f3bd3872424291b12354ec415f33986ec369a368
## What changed
- Add the managed `auto_review.required_on_models` requirement, unioning model slugs across requirement layers and exposing the result through `configRequirements/read`.
- Force listed models to use `on-request` approvals with the `auto_review` reviewer. Downgrade Full Access to workspace-write when starting a protected session, and reject incompatible runtime overrides or use when automatic review is disabled.
- Preserve these protections across thread starts, resumes, forks, model changes, turn overrides, MCP approvals, and TUI session attachment.
## Testing
- Add coverage for layered model requirements and exact provider-alias matching.
- Add app-server tests for protected thread lifecycle operations, unsafe setting overrides, legacy thread upgrades, disabled automatic review, and requirements API output.
GitOrigin-RevId: c4b1d52c3b5b75e86880725412b8f0812e0dfcd9
## What changed
- Parse `mcp_tool` hook handlers with a server, tool, JSON input, and optional timeout and status message.
- Return managed MCP tool hooks from `configRequirements/read` and include the handler in the generated protocol schemas.
- Skip MCP tool hooks during discovery with an explicit warning until execution is supported.
## Testing
- Cover MCP tool hook deserialization, including nested and null JSON input values.
- Extend the config requirements RPC test to verify the new handler shape.

## What changed
- Parse the `browser_use.disable_auto_review` setting from layered
`requirements.toml` configuration.
- Return the setting as `browserUse.disableAutoReview` from
`configRequirements/read` and publish it in the generated JSON and TypeScript
schemas.
## Testing
- Add an app-server RPC test covering the Browser Use requirement.

## What changed
- Treat batch writes containing only `model`, `model_reasoning_effort`,
`plan_mode_reasoning_effort`, `service_tier`, or `personality` as defaults for
future sessions, even when `reloadUserConfig` is requested.
- Keep runtime config reloads and skill/plugin cache invalidation for other
config changes, and document which settings remain session-static.
- Preserve cached skill listings after session-default writes until a forced
reload, with test coverage for each supported default.

## What changed
- Make `McpRuntime` own the published MCP configuration, connections, elicitation routing, and selected capability roots for a thread.
- Capture immutable MCP bindings for model steps and tool calls so in-flight work keeps a consistent connection set and approval authority while refreshed state is published atomically.
- Mark MCP state dirty when relevant configuration, plugins, environments, authentication, or elicitation capabilities change, then rebuild it before the next sampling request or out-of-band MCP operation.
- Separate config reloads from server invalidation: `ReloadMcpConfig` applies resolved MCP inputs, while `RefreshMcpServers` requests reinitialization from the thread's latest state.
## Testing
- Cover refreshed state visibility for existing turns, stable step bindings, current approval authority, cancelled refresh retries, resource-client reconciliation, and Apps recovery between sampling requests.

## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default, under-development `mcp_2026_07_28` feature.
- Include the feature in the configuration schema and app-server experimental
feature enablement API.

## What changed
- Apply managed values for `sqlite_home`, `log_dir`, `model_catalog_json`,
`check_for_update_on_startup`, `allow_login_shell`, the report-submission
opt-in, and `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to the runtime configuration,
with source-aware warnings when they override configured values.
- Expose these values through `configRequirements/read`, return them from
`config/read`, include them in session config locks, and show their sources in
the TUI config debug view.
- Reject app-server writes that overlap an exact managed requirement with
`configRequirementReadonly` while leaving unrelated sibling keys writable.
## Testing
- Cover runtime overrides, requirement API mapping, config reads and writes,
session lock serialization, cross-platform path URIs, and debug output.

## What changed
- Add `additionalContextLimit` to command hook configuration for events that can emit `additionalContext`.
- Apply the limit independently to each hook's context before it is sent to the model. Unset values retain the 2,500-token default, while `0` disables spilling for that hook.
- Expose configured limits through app-server hook and requirements responses, and show them in the TUI hooks browser.
## Testing
- Cover JSON and TOML parsing, discovery and hashing, per-hook spilling behavior, app-server responses, and TUI rendering.

## What changed
- Add the `SessionEnd` hook event to hook configuration, protocol schemas, analytics, and the hooks browser.
- Run matching hooks for root threads during shutdown, including app-server archive, delete, idle unload, and graceful shutdown. Flush the transcript first and provide the session ID, transcript path, working directory, and `reason: "other"`.
- Keep teardown bounded: hook output is advisory, the default timeout is one second, configured timeouts are capped at three seconds, and async hooks run synchronously with a warning.
## Testing
- Cover transcript availability, matcher selection, timeout normalization, ignored control output, subagent exclusion, archive/delete ordering, and graceful shutdown of multiple loaded threads.

## What changed
- Handle experimental `account/login/start` requests with `type: "amazonBedrock"`.
- Validate the API key and Mantle region, persist the managed credential, select the `amazon-bedrock` model provider, and emit the standard login and account-update notifications.
- Reload configuration for account and authentication status reads so the newly selected provider is visible immediately, with the startup configuration as a fallback.
- Extend the app-server test client with an Amazon Bedrock login mode that redacts API keys from request logs.
## Testing
- Add app-server coverage for successful login, credential and provider persistence, notifications, refreshed account state, invalid inputs, conflicting configuration, forced ChatGPT login, external authentication, and configuration reload failure.

## Why
Admins need persistent defaults for the model, reasoning effort, and
service tier shown when the Desktop App creates a new thread. These are
initialization defaults rather than runtime constraints: the App should
use them to initialize its draft while still allowing a user to make an
explicit selection.
The app-server therefore needs to expose the managed values before
thread creation without changing `thread/start` behavior for other
clients.
## What changed
- Parse `model`, `model_reasoning_effort`, and `service_tier` from
`[models.new_thread]` in `requirements.toml`.
- Compose the `models` requirements through the existing
requirements-layer precedence rules.
- Expose the resolved values through `configRequirements/read` as
`requirements.models.newThread`.
- Add the corresponding app-server protocol types and regenerate the
JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
- Document the new `configRequirements/read` fields in the app-server
README.
## Scope
This PR is data plumbing only. It does not apply these values during
`thread/start` and does not change thread creation for existing
app-server clients, resumed or forked sessions, internal or subagent
sessions, `codex exec`, or the TUI. A companion Desktop App change owns
draft initialization, sends the effective settings for ordinary and
prewarmed starts, and preserves explicit user changes.
## Validation
- Requirements deserialization coverage for `[models.new_thread]`
- Requirements-layer precedence coverage
- App-server API mapping coverage
- `configRequirements/read` integration coverage
- Regenerated app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
