## What changed
- Show per-type import counts in the `/import` review UI and started
message.
- Render completion results as a multi-line summary with total
imported/failed counts and one row per import type.
- Add snapshot coverage for the updated review and completion output.

## Why
The TUI previously only reported that Claude Code import started or
finished. Users could not see how many items of each type were selected
or how many actually imported versus failed.
## Summary
- Track plugin install failures through the unified
`codex_plugin_install_failed` event for local installs, remote install
preflight failures, bundle failures, and remote catalog/backend
failures.
- Send classified `error_type` values in plugin install failure
analytics instead of raw error strings.
- Stop sending raw external-agent import errors in analytics while
preserving raw failure details in app-facing import
notifications/history.
- Keep raw plugin/migration diagnostics in `tracing::warn!` logs.
- Keep remote failure plugin names as the existing local placeholder
(`unknown`) and remove the extra telemetry plugin-name override.
- Change `ExternalAgentConfigImportParams.source` from a generated enum
to `string | null`, with legacy `claudeCode` / `claudeCowork` inputs
normalized to existing analytics values.
## Testing
## Summary
- restore `externalAgentConfig/import/progress` notifications while
keeping `externalAgentConfig/import/completed` as the must-deliver event
- persist completed external-agent config imports in state DB by
`importId`, including concrete success/failure details for config,
AGENTS.md, skills, plugins, MCP servers, subagents, hooks, commands, and
sessions
- add `externalAgentConfig/import/readHistories` so clients can recover
persisted import results after missing the live completion notification
- include `errorType` on import failures in protocol
responses/notifications and persisted DB JSON so future code can
classify failures without another wire/storage shape change
## Validation
- `git diff --check`
- `just test -p codex-state external_agent_config_imports`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-sqlite-read-details
just test -p codex-app-server
external_agent_config_import_sends_completion_notification_for_sync_only_import`
Also ran earlier broader checks before publishing:
- `just test -p codex-state`
-
`CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-external-agent-test-sqlite
just test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config`
- `just test -p codex-external-agent-migration`
## Why
External-agent imports can complete synchronously or continue in the
background for plugins/sessions. Clients need a stable import id to
correlate the immediate response with the eventual completion
notification, and the completion payload needs enough accounting to show
which artifact types succeeded or failed without hiding partial
failures.
## What Changed
- `externalAgentConfig/import` now returns an `importId`;
`externalAgentConfig/import/completed` includes the same `importId` plus
type-level `itemResults`.
- Completed `itemResults` report `successCount`, `errorCount`,
`successes`, and `rawErrors` for each migrated item type.
- Added protocol/schema/TypeScript types for import successes, raw
errors, and type-level results. No progress notification is included in
the final PR.
- `ExternalAgentConfigService::import` now returns an outcome object
with synchronous item results and pending plugin imports.
- Plugin import outcomes track succeeded/failed marketplaces, plugin
ids, and raw errors. Plugin failures can be reported in completed
accounting while later migration items continue.
- Non-plugin synchronous import failures still fail the request, so
invalid config/skills-style failures are not reported as a successful
import response.
- Session imports now return item results. Successful imports include
the source session path and imported thread id; prepare, persist,
ledger, and source-validation failures become raw errors in completion
accounting where the import can continue.
- The request processor generates the `importId`, aggregates synchronous
results with background plugin/session results, and sends a single
completed notification when all selected work is done.
- App-server docs and generated schema fixtures were updated for the new
response/completed payload shapes.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-client event_requires_delivery`
- `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-review-sync-error
just test -p codex-app-server
external_agent_config_import_returns_error_for_failed_sync_import`
- `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-app-server-review-external-agent
just test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config`
Note: local sandbox validation used `CODEX_SQLITE_HOME` because the
default sqlite state path is read-only in this environment.
## Why
Managed deployments need a reliable deny gate for remote control.
Persisted enablement and explicit startup requests currently remain able
to start the transport, while the removed `features.remote_control` key
is intentionally only a compatibility no-op.
This adds a dedicated requirement that administrators can use to force
remote control off without deleting the user's persisted preference.
Removing the requirement and restarting restores the prior choice.
## What Changed
- Added top-level `allow_remote_control` requirements parsing, sourced
layer precedence, debug output, and `configRequirements/read` exposure
as `allowRemoteControl`.
- Added a typed transport policy captured from the startup requirements
snapshot. Managed disable forces the initial state to disabled and
prevents enrollment, refresh, connection, and persisted-preference
mutation.
- Rejected every `remoteControl/*` RPC before parameter deserialization
with JSON-RPC `-32600` and `remote control is disabled by managed
requirements`.
- Preserved the existing disabled status notification and the previous
behavior when the requirement is `true` or omitted.
- Regenerated app-server protocol schemas and documented the new
requirement.
## Verification
- Confirmed all remote-control RPCs, including a malformed request,
return the managed-policy error while the initial status notification
remains `disabled`.
- Confirmed explicit ephemeral startup and persisted enablement make no
backend connection and leave the SQLite preference unchanged.
- Confirmed `allow_remote_control = true` does not enable or block
remote control and `configRequirements/read` returns
`allowRemoteControl: false` for the deny policy.
Related issue: N/A (managed-policy hardening).

## Summary
- add `approvals_reviewer` support to `[apps._default]`
- resolve connected-app reviewers in per-app, app-default, then global
order
- expose the setting through the v2 config API and regenerate schema
fixtures
## Context
PR #25167 added `apps.<connector_id>.approvals_reviewer`, but the shared
app defaults table could not specify the reviewer. This extends the same
behavior to `[apps._default]` while preserving per-app overrides.
Managed `allowed_approvals_reviewers` requirements still constrain both
default and per-app values. A disallowed app value falls back to the
global reviewer, and non-app MCP servers continue using the global
reviewer.
## Testing
- `just write-config-schema`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-config`
- `just test -p codex-core app_approvals_reviewer`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server config_read_includes_apps`
## Why
Permission profile allowlists are an enterprise security boundary, but
they also need to compose across the managed requirements layers added
in #24620.
A map representation lets each requirements layer add, allow, or revoke
individual profiles without replacing an entire array.
## Managed Contract
Administrators configure the mergeable allow map with
`allowed_permission_profiles`. A recommended enterprise configuration
explicitly lists every built-in and custom profile users should be able
to select:
```toml
default_permissions = "review_only"
[allowed_permission_profiles]
":read-only" = true
":workspace" = true
review_only = true
# ":danger-full-access" is intentionally omitted, so it is denied.
[permissions.review_only]
extends = ":read-only"
```
- Profiles whose effective merged value is `true` are allowed.
- Missing profiles and profiles set to `false` are denied.
- This is a closed allowlist: built-in profiles and profiles introduced
in future versions are denied unless explicitly allowed.
- Explicitly list each built-in profile the enterprise wants to make
available. Omit built-ins such as `:danger-full-access` when they should
remain unavailable.
- Set `default_permissions` explicitly to the allowed profile users
should receive when they have no local selection.
- Higher-precedence layers override only the profile keys they define.
- `false` is only needed when a higher-precedence layer must revoke a
`true` inherited from a lower layer.
- Explicit keys must refer to known built-in or managed profiles.
A custom or narrowed allowlist requires an allowed
`default_permissions`. For compatibility, if both `:workspace` and
`:read-only` are explicitly allowed, an omitted default resolves to
`:workspace`; customer configurations should still set the intended
default explicitly.
When `allowed_permission_profiles` is absent, existing implicit
permission and legacy `sandbox_mode` behavior is unchanged.
## What Changed
- Add `allowed_permission_profiles` as a `BTreeMap<String, bool>` that
merges per profile across requirements layers.
- Enforce managed defaults, strict denial of omitted profiles, and the
explicitly allowed standard-pair fallback.
- Expose `allowedPermissionProfiles` through `configRequirements/read`
and regenerate its schemas.
- Add regression coverage for map composition and revocation, managed
defaults, strict denial of omitted built-ins, and API output.
## Verification
- Focused `codex-config` coverage for layered map composition and
revocation
- Focused `codex-core` coverage for managed defaults, invalid defaults,
strict denial of omitted built-ins, and the standard built-in pair
- Focused `codex-app-server` coverage for requirements API output
- Scoped Clippy for `codex-config`, `codex-core`,
`codex-app-server-protocol`, and `codex-app-server`
## Documentation
The managed `requirements.toml` documentation should introduce
`allowed_permission_profiles` as a closed permission-profile allowlist
before this setting is published on developers.openai.com.

## Summary
PR 3 of 5 in the cloud-managed config client stack.
Adds enterprise-managed cloud config as a first-class config layer
source. The layer metadata is preserved through config loading,
diagnostics, debug output, hook attribution, and app-server protocol
surfaces.
## Details
- Enterprise-managed config becomes a normal config layer source with
backend-supplied `id` and display `name` attached for provenance.
- These layers are designed to behave like non-file managed config: they
can surface syntax/type diagnostics by layer name even though there is
no physical config file.
- Relative path settings are resolved from a stored config base so
cloud-delivered config remains consistent with existing MDM-delivered
config semantics.
- Hook attribution distinguishes config-delivered hooks from
requirements-delivered hooks via `HookSource::CloudManagedConfig`.
- This remains pull-based and snapshot-oriented; the PR adds layer
identity/diagnostics, not dynamic reload behavior.
## Validation
Validated through the targeted stack checks after rebasing onto current
`main`:
- Rust crate tests for
config/hooks/cloud-config/backend-client/app-server-protocol
- Filtered `codex-core` and `codex-app-server` `cloud_config_bundle`
tests
- Python generated-file contract test
- `cargo shear --deny-warnings`
- Targeted `argument-comment-lint` for config/hooks
# Why
Managed requirements can already constrain sandbox policy choices, but
Windows sandbox implementation selection was still resolved
independently from those requirements. That left the TUI able to
continue through the unelevated fallback even when an organization wants
to require the elevated Windows sandbox implementation.
# What
- Add `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirements support
for the Windows `elevated` and `unelevated` implementations.
- Apply that allowlist during core config resolution so disallowed
configured or feature-selected Windows sandbox implementations fall back
to an allowed implementation with the existing requirements warning
path.
- Reuse the existing TUI Windows setup prompts to block disallowed
unelevated continuation, keep required elevated setup in front of the
user, and refuse to persist a TUI-selected Windows sandbox mode that
requirements disallow.
# Semantics
| Allowed | Selected | Effective |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `["elevated"]` | `unelevated` / unset | `elevated` |
| `["unelevated"]` | `elevated` / unset | `unelevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `elevated` | `elevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `unelevated` | `unelevated` |
| `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | unset | `elevated` |
Availability is handled by interactive setup surfaces after allowlist
resolution. If the effective elevated implementation is not ready,
elevated-only requirements block on setup. When unelevated is also
allowed, the UI may offer the existing unelevated fallback.
## TUI Screens
If elevated setup is not already complete:
```
Your organization requires the default Codex agent sandbox to continue. Set it up to protect your files and control
network access.
Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
› 1. Set up default sandbox (requires Administrator permissions)
2. Quit
```
If admin setup fails under `["elevated"]`:
```
Couldn't set up your sandbox with Administrator permissions
Your organization requires the default sandbox before Codex can continue.
Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows>
› 1. Try setting up admin sandbox again
2. Quit
```
# Next Steps
- extend the requirements/readout surface, such as
`configRequirements/read`, so clients can inspect the loaded
`[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirement instead of
inferring it from Windows setup state
- consider extending `windowsSandbox/readiness` as well
- update the App startup guide, setup flow, and banner surfaces so an
elevated-only requirement omits any continue-unelevated escape hatch and
blocks startup until a permitted implementation is ready;
- preserve the existing unelevated fallback path when requirements allow
it, including the `["unelevated"]` case where elevated is disallowed
Add new enterprise requirement gate.

## Why
Legacy `[profiles.<name>]` config tables and the legacy `profile`
selector are being retired in favor of profile files selected with
`--profile <name>`. After #23886 removed the CLI-side legacy profile
plumbing, the app-server config surface still exposed those fields and
still carried conversion code for the old protocol shape.
## What changed
- Remove `profile`, `profiles`, and `ProfileV2` from the app-server
config protocol/schema output so `config/read` no longer returns legacy
profile config.
- Drop the old v1 `UserSavedConfig` profile conversion path from
`config`.
- Reject new app-server config writes under `profiles.*` with the same
migration direction used for `profile`, while still allowing callers to
clear existing legacy profile tables.
- Refresh app-server config coverage and the experimental API README
example around the remaining `Config` nesting path.
## Verification
- Added config-manager coverage that `config/read` omits legacy profile
config, `profiles.*` writes are rejected, and existing legacy profile
tables can still be cleared.
- Updated the v2 config RPC test to cover the rejected `profiles.*`
batch-write path.
`#[serde(default)]` wasn't sufficient for our generated TS types to
reflect that clients didn't have to set them. We also need
`skip_serializing_if = "std::ops::Not::not"`. This is already a rule in
our agents.md file.
## Why
Cloud-managed `requirements.toml` should be able to define the managed
permission profiles a client may select and constrain that selectable
set without requiring local user config to recreate the profile catalog.
This keeps requirements focused on restrictions. The selected default
remains a config or session choice, while requirements contribute the
managed profile bodies and `allowed_permissions` allowlist that the
config-loading boundary validates before a resolved runtime
`PermissionProfile` is installed.
## What changed
- Add `requirements.toml` support for a managed permission-profile
catalog plus its allowlist:
```toml
allowed_permissions = ["review", "build"]
[permissions.review]
extends = ":read-only"
[permissions.build]
extends = ":workspace"
```
- Merge requirements-defined profile bodies into the effective
permission catalog and reject profile ids that collide with
config-defined profiles.
- Validate that every `allowed_permissions` entry resolves to a built-in
or catalog profile before selection uses it.
- Preserve allowed configured named-profile selections. When a
configured named profile is disallowed, fall back to the first allowed
requirements profile with a startup warning.
- Keep built-in selections and the stock trust-based `:read-only` /
`:workspace` fallback path intact when no permission profile is
explicitly selected.
- Centralize the managed catalog and allowlist selection path in
`EffectivePermissionSelection` so the requirements boundary is visible
in config loading.
- Surface `allowedPermissions` through `configRequirements/read`, and
update the generated app-server schema fixtures plus the app-server
README.
## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-core system_requirements_`
- `cargo test -p codex-core system_allowed_permissions_`

`SubagentStop` runs when a thread-spawned subagent turn is about to
finish. Thread-spawned subagents use `SubagentStop` instead of the
normal root-agent `Stop` hook.
Configured handlers match on `agent_type`. Hook input includes the
normal stop fields plus:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id.
- `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
- `agent_transcript_path`: the child subagent transcript path.
- `transcript_path`: the parent thread transcript path.
- `last_assistant_message`: the final assistant message from the child
turn, when available.
- `stop_hook_active`: `true` when the child is already continuing
because an earlier stop-like hook blocked completion.
`SubagentStop` shares the same completion-control semantics as `Stop`,
scoped to the child turn:
- No decision allows the child turn to finish.
- `decision: "block"` with a non-empty `reason` records that reason as
hook feedback and continues the child with that prompt.
- `continue: false` stops the child turn. If `stopReason` is present,
Codex surfaces it as the stop reason.
# Lifecycle Scope
Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStop`.
Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
and Other do not run normal `Stop` hooks and do not run `SubagentStop`.
This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for internal
implementation paths.
# Stack
1. #22782: add `SubagentStart`.
2. This PR: add `SubagentStop`.
3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.
# What
`SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent,
before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned
subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent
`SessionStart` hook.
Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same
value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex
uses the default agent type.
Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id.
- `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
`SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That
context is added to the child conversation before the first model
request.
# Lifecycle Scope
Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`.
Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run
`SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for
internal implementation paths.
Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches
behavior with other coding agents' implementation
# Stack
1. This PR: add `SubagentStart`.
2. #22873: add `SubagentStop`.
3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.
## Why
`model_auto_compact_token_limit` has only been able to budget the full
active context. That makes it hard to set a small "growth since
compaction" budget for sessions that preserve a large carried window
prefix: the preserved prefix can consume the whole budget and force
immediate repeated compaction.
This PR adds an opt-in `body_after_prefix` scope so callers can apply
`model_auto_compact_token_limit` to sampled output and later growth
after the current carried prefix, while still forcing compaction before
the full model context window is exhausted.
## What changed
- Adds `AutoCompactTokenLimitScope` with the existing `total` behavior
as the default and a new `body_after_prefix` mode:
[`config_types.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/protocol/src/config_types.rs#L24-L37).
- Threads `model_auto_compact_token_limit_scope` through config loading,
`Config`, `core-api`, and app-server v2 schema/TypeScript generation.
- Records the first observed input-token count for a `body_after_prefix`
compaction window and uses it as the baseline when deciding whether the
scoped auto-compaction budget is exhausted:
[`turn.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/core/src/session/turn.rs#L743-L781).
- Keeps a hard context-window cap in `body_after_prefix`, so scoped
budgeting cannot let the active context overrun the usable window.
## Verification
Added compact-suite coverage for the two key behaviors:
`body_after_prefix` does not re-compact just because the carried prefix
is larger than the scoped budget, and it still compacts when the total
active context reaches the configured context window:
[`compact.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/973806b1cb35792555bead994cb3ed94656eb171/codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact.rs#L3003-L3128).
## Summary
- reserve an explicit opaque `desktop` namespace in `ConfigToml`
- expose `desktop` directly in the app-server v2 `config/read` response
- keep `config/value/write` and `config/batchWrite` as the only mutation
seam for paths like `desktop.someKey`
- regenerate the config/app-server schema outputs and document the new
contract
## Why
The desktop settings work wants one durable, user-editable home for
app-owned preferences in `~/.codex/config.toml`, without forcing Rust to
model every individual desktop setting key.
This PR is only the enabling Rust/app-server layer. It gives the
Electron app a first-class config namespace it can read and write
through the existing config APIs, while leaving the actual desktop
migration to the app PR.
## Behavior and design notes
- **Opaque but explicit:** `desktop` is first-class at the typed config
root, while its children remain app-owned and open-ended.
- **Strict validation still works:** arbitrary nested `desktop.*` keys
are accepted instead of being rejected as unknown config.
- **Existing config APIs stay the seam:** `config/read` returns the bag,
and dotted writes such as `desktop.someKey` continue to flow through
`config/value/write` / `config/batchWrite` rather than a bespoke RPC.
- **No new consumer behavior:** Core/TUI do not start depending on
desktop preferences. This only preserves and exposes the namespace for
callers that intentionally use it.
- **Same persistence machinery:** hand-edited `config.toml` keeps using
the existing TOML edit/write path; this PR does not introduce a second
serializer or side channel.
- **TOML-friendly values:** the namespace is intended for ordinary
JSON-shaped setting values that map cleanly into TOML: strings, numbers,
booleans, arrays, and nested object/table values. This PR does not add
special handling for TOML-only edge cases such as datetimes.
## Layering semantics
Reads keep using the ordinary effective config pipeline, so `desktop`
participates in the same layered `config/read` behavior as the rest of
`ConfigToml`. Writes still target user config through the existing
config service.
## Why this is the shape
The alternative would be teaching Rust about each desktop setting as it
is added. That would make ordinary app preferences into a cross-repo
change, which is exactly the coupling we want to avoid.
This keeps the contract small:
1. Rust owns one opaque `desktop` namespace in `config.toml`.
2. The desktop app owns the schema and meaning of individual keys inside
it.
3. The existing config APIs remain the transport and mutation surface.
That is the piece the desktop settings PR needs in order to move forward
cleanly.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config strict_config_accepts_opaque_desktop_keys`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
desktop_toml_round_trips_opaque_nested_values`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all desktop_settings`
## Summary
This change lets `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` accept multiple workspace
IDs instead of a single value.
It keeps the existing config key name, adds backward-compatible parsing
for a single string in `config.toml`, and normalizes the setting into an
allowed workspace list across login enforcement, app-server config
surfaces, and local ChatGPT auth helpers.
## Why
Workspace-restricted deployments may need to allow more than one ChatGPT
workspace without dropping the guardrail entirely.
## Server-side impact
Codex's local server and app-server protocol needed changes because they
previously assumed a single workspace ID. The local login flow now
matches the auth backend interface by sending the allowed workspace list
as a single comma-separated `allowed_workspace_id` query parameter.
## Validation
This was tested with:
- A single workspace config
- With multi-workspace configs
- With multiple workspaces in the config
- The user only being a part of a subset of them
All were successful.
Automated coverage:
- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui local_chatgpt_auth`
- `cargo test --locked -p codex-app-server
login_account_chatgpt_includes_forced_workspace_allowlist_query_param`
## Why
`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.
That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.
## What Changed
- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.
## Limits
`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.
Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:
- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes
## Verification
Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

## Summary
It appears this config flag has been broken/a noop for quite some time:
since https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8850. Let's simplify and get
rid of this.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests
## Why
Enterprise-managed hook policy needs a narrow way to require Codex to
ignore user-controlled lifecycle hooks without adopting the broader
trust-precedence model from earlier hook work. This keeps the policy
anchored in `requirements.toml`, so admins can opt into managed hooks
only while normal `config.toml` files cannot enable the restriction
themselves.
## What changed
- Added `allow_managed_hooks_only` to the requirements data flow and
preserved explicit `false` values.
- Also adds it to /debug-config
- Marked MDM, system, and legacy managed config layers as managed for
hook discovery.
- Updated hook discovery so `allow_managed_hooks_only = true`:
- keeps managed requirements hooks and managed config-layer hooks,
- skips user/project/session `hooks.json` and `[hooks]` entries with
concise startup warnings,
- skips current unmanaged plugin hooks,
- ignores any `allow_managed_hooks_only` key placed in ordinary
`config.toml` layers.
# Why
Managed hook configs need a shared cross-platform shape without making
the existing `command` field polymorphic. The common case is still one
command string, with Windows needing a different entrypoint only when
the runtime is actually Windows.
Keeping `command` as the portable/default path and adding an optional
Windows override keeps the config easier to read, preserves the existing
scalar shape for non-Windows users, and avoids forcing every caller into
a `{ unix, windows }` object when only one platform needs special
handling.
# What
- Add optional `command_windows` / `commandWindows` alongside the
existing hook `command` field.
- Resolve `command_windows` only on Windows during hook discovery; other
platforms continue to use `command` unchanged.
- Keep trust hashing aligned to the effective command selected for the
current runtime.
# Docs
The Codex hooks/config reference should document `command_windows` as
the Windows-only override for command hooks.

## Why
Compaction rewrites the conversation context that future model turns
receive, but hooks currently have no deterministic lifecycle point
around that rewrite. This adds compact lifecycle hooks so users can
audit manual and automatic compaction, surface hook messages in the UI,
and run post-compaction follow-up without overloading tool or prompt
hooks.
## What Changed
- Added `PreCompact` and `PostCompact` hook events across hook config,
discovery, dispatch, generated schemas, app-server notifications,
analytics, and TUI hook rendering.
- Added trigger matching for compact hooks with the documented `manual`
and `auto` matcher values.
- Wired `PreCompact` before both local and remote compaction, and
`PostCompact` after successful local or remote compaction.
- Kept compact hook command input to lifecycle metadata: session id,
Codex turn id, transcript path, cwd, hook event name, model, and
trigger.
- Made compact stdout handling consistent with other hooks: plain stdout
is ignored as debug output, while malformed JSON-looking stdout is
reported as failed hook output.
- Added integration coverage for compact hook dispatch, trigger
matching, post-compact execution, and the audited behavior that
`decision:"block"` does not block compaction.
## Out of Scope
- Hook-specific compaction blocking is not implemented;
`decision:"block"` and exit-code-2 blocking semantics are intentionally
unsupported for `PreCompact`.
- Custom compaction instructions are not exposed to compact hooks in
this PR.
- Compact summaries, summary character counts, and summary previews are
not exposed to compact hooks in this PR.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
manual_pre_compact_block_decision_does_not_block_compaction`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server hooks_list`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui hooks_browser`
## Docs
The developer documentation for Codex hooks should be updated alongside
this feature to document `PreCompact` and `PostCompact`, the
`manual`/`auto` matcher values, and the compact hook payload fields.

## Why
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs` had grown into a
single ~12k-line definition file for the entire app-server v2 API.
This is purely a mechanical refactor to break up the monolithic `v2.rs`
file that contains all app-server API v2 types into more modular files,
grouped by resource (e.g. account, thread, turn, etc.).
`just write-app-server-schema` shows no real changes, so we can be sure
that this is purely an internal organizational change.
## What changed
- Replaced the monolithic `protocol/v2.rs` with a `protocol/v2/` module
tree and a small `mod.rs` that only declares and reexports modules.
- Grouped v2 API definitions by conceptual owner, including `account`,
`apps`, `collaboration_mode`, `command_exec`, `config`, `device_key`,
`experimental_feature`, `feedback`, `fs`, `hook`, `item`, `mcp`,
`model`, `notification`, `permissions`, `plugin`, `process`, `realtime`,
`review`, `thread`, `thread_data`, `turn`, and `windows_sandbox`.
- Moved v2 tests into `protocol/v2/tests.rs` so `mod.rs` stays small.
- Kept shared protocol helpers in `protocol/v2/shared.rs`, including the
enum mirroring macro and common cross-resource types.
- Co-located resource-specific notifications and server-request payloads
with the modules that own those resources.
- Regenerated app-server protocol schema fixtures. The schema diffs are
non-semantic newline-only changes after the refactor.
## Verification
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
