## Why
Older executors sandbox reads whenever a policy is supplied, even when the policy allows unrestricted reads. This can interfere with loading skills across executor versions.
## What changed
- Omit sandbox contexts from remote read operations when reads are unrestricted and explicit permission paths are valid for the target path convention. Retain contexts that require executor-side path validation.
- Check remote `windows_mxc` support before sending MXC sandbox contexts for reads or capability discovery, returning an update-executor error when unsupported.
## Testing
Add coverage for permission path validation across read operations, unsupported MXC requests, and skill loading over Noise with mismatched app and executor versions, including selected skill roots with capability discovery disabled.

## What changed
- Build executor skill catalogs from discovery V2 inventories without reopening host paths or falling back to legacy discovery.
- Merge Cloud and executor skills by remote plugin identity and skill name, retaining Cloud metadata and accepted provider read routes. Apply plugin selection and disablement before merging.
- Share a stable catalog across each step's rendering, list/read tools, and explicit and implicit skill invocations.
- Preserve unmatched executor entries when Cloud catalogs are unavailable or partial; only complete Cloud catalogs disable unmatched remote entries.
- Bind discovery caches to captured environments and executor sessions, and refresh MCP when V2 inventories change. Preserve pending invalidations when forced MCP refreshes fail.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for V2 inventory sharing and refresh, environment isolation, catalog merging, partial Cloud results, disabled plugins, and catalog consistency across steps and read routes.

## What changed
- Route remote-control enrollment, pairing, client management, and WebSocket connections through the authenticated HTTP client factory. Keep policy denials distinct from authentication failures and wait for policy changes before reconnecting.
- Preserve policy denials through exec-server connection failures so later connection attempts and capability discovery can recover. Keep direct executors running through temporary policy outages while rejecting permanent policy failures.
- Build cached HTTP transports on blocking workers, serialize construction, and retain successful builds after callers time out so request deadlines cover queued construction.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for policy recovery during remote startup, direct registration, accepted WebSocket reconnection, and capability discovery; queued transport construction timeouts; and remote-control WebSocket fallback with invalid custom CA files.

## Why
Filesystem reads previously required a sandbox whenever writes were restricted, even with full-disk read permission. This made permitted reads depend on sandbox availability.
## What changed
- Select sandboxing independently for reads and writes, allowing full-disk reads directly while keeping restricted operations sandboxed.
- Use the executor's path convention when evaluating full-disk access, including `:slash_tmp` denials.
- Apply read-specific checks to capability discovery and skill resource reads, allowing unrestricted reads on executors without sandboxed discovery support.
## Testing
Add regression tests for direct read APIs, restricted writes and reads, executor-specific permission rules, and capability discovery without sandbox support. Update Windows tests to verify sandbox enforcement through writes.

## Why
Transient executor disconnects could leave capability discovery and skill catalogs
stuck on a cached failure for the rest of a thread, even after the executor
reconnected.
## What changed
- Replay capability discovery after executor recovery and retry transient failures
on later requests while continuing to cache permanent failures.
- Avoid caching skill catalogs produced from failed discovery so a later step can
load the recovered catalog.
- Mark the MCP runtime dirty when recovered manifests change the projected MCP
servers, and allow discovery to be cancelled with the turn.
## Testing
- Cover same-request recovery after a disconnect and recovery on a later request.
- Cover retry classification through connection-attempt errors and skill catalog
caching after discovery recovers.

## Why
Remote environment connections need to honor Codex's effective outbound proxy policy, including when a rendezvous connection reconnects.
## What changed
- Pass the configured `HttpClientFactory` into remote environment transports and use `WebSocketConnector` for exec-server and rendezvous WebSockets.
- Resolve proxy routes asynchronously so these connections can use the configured system proxy.
- Add connector options that preserve Tungstenite's default TLS behavior and enable `TCP_NODELAY` for latency-sensitive rendezvous traffic.
## Testing
- Verify prepared remote environments connect through a configured system proxy.
- Verify initial and reconnected encrypted relay peers use the system proxy.
- Cover default TLS selection and opt-in `TCP_NODELAY` behavior in the WebSocket client.

## Why
A thread can select skill roots that live in an executor environment.
`skills/list` needs a passive snapshot of the roots that are usable now:
it must not start an executor, wait for recovery, or reconnect a failed
environment.
The initial implementation checked the immutable first startup result.
After a successful connection later entered recovery or failed, that
result still looked successful. A read-only catalog request could then
wait for recovery or trigger a new connection while reading the
filesystem.
## What
- inspect readiness from the current exec-server connection state
- return roots only while their environment can serve a request
immediately
- omit environments that have not started, are connecting, or are
recovering
- return warnings for missing environments and terminal connection
failures
- add a fail-fast filesystem view that never starts, waits for, or
reconnects an environment
- expose the passive selected-root snapshot through `CodexThread`
## Behavior
- Local and currently connected environments are ready.
- Starting and recovering environments are omitted without a warning so
callers can retry later.
- Missing and terminally failed environments are omitted with a warning.
- A disconnect between readiness inspection and filesystem access fails
promptly instead of crossing into the normal recovery path.
- Normal model-turn and execution paths keep their existing reconnect
behavior.
## Design
The recovery policy is private to the exec-server client. Callers choose
the explicit fail-fast filesystem method; the existing client and
filesystem APIs remain reconnecting. This keeps the passive contract at
the transport boundary instead of plumbing timeout or retry flags
through the skills stack.
## Coverage
- a lazy stdio environment stays unstarted during passive inspection
- missing and terminally failed environments surface warnings
- a real websocket disconnect proves current readiness drops, a
previously acquired fail-fast filesystem handle returns promptly, and
readiness returns after recovery
## Scope
This PR only provides passive readiness and fail-fast filesystem
primitives. It does not add app-server API fields or notifications.
## Stack
- #31582 uses these primitives for experimental thread-scoped
`skills/list`.
- #30228 adds targeted invalidation notifications.
