## What changed
Wire existing sandbox integrity checks into local command preparation, exec-server process preparation, and sandboxed filesystem helper and file-open operations. Make execution request preparation asynchronous so callers can await the checks.
The checks remain observational: failures and timeouts do not prevent command execution.
## Testing
Add regression tests that launch a real command after checker preparation fails or exceeds its timeout, verifying successful output and exit status.

## What changed
Advertise `fileWriteStreaming` and support `fs/open` with `mode: "replace"` to create or truncate a file for writing. Implement `fs/writeBlock` with explicit offsets and nonempty chunks of up to 1 MiB, rejecting ranges beyond the signed 64-bit file offset limit.
Apply write sandbox permissions when opening writable handles, including when full-disk reads are allowed. Keep `read` as the default open mode.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for positional writes, chunk and offset bounds, replacement truncation, read/write handle permissions, and sandbox write restrictions. Verify that duplicate handle IDs and exhausted handle capacity reject replacement opens without creating or truncating files.

## Why
The per-connection limit of 128 file read handles was checked only after opening the file, leaving pending opens outside the limit.
## What changed
Reserve a semaphore permit before polling the file-open future, counting pending opens and registered handles against the same limit. Release capacity when an open fails or is cancelled, or when a handle closes, even if a read still retains the file.
Use synchronous handle-table locks that never cross an await, and recheck duplicate IDs after opening to preserve the winning handle during concurrent opens.
## Testing
Add tests for stalled-open progress, pending-open admission limits, permit cleanup after failure or cancellation, capacity reuse while a file remains in use, and concurrent duplicate IDs.

## Why
Private IP destinations always bypassed inherited upstream proxies, preventing their use for private networks reachable through an upstream VPN proxy.
## What changed
- Add `codex exec-server --proxy-private-ips-via-upstream`, also configurable with `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_PROXY_PRIVATE_IPS_VIA_UPSTREAM=true`. The setting defaults to disabled.
- Allow permitted RFC 1918, carrier-grade NAT, and IPv6 unique-local destinations to use an applicable upstream proxy. Loopback and link-local destinations retain direct routing, and destination access policy still applies.
- Keep connections direct when no valid upstream proxy applies or `allow_upstream_proxy=false`. Errors after selecting an upstream proxy do not trigger a direct retry.
- Rename `ExecServerRuntimePaths` to `ExecServerRuntimeOptions` and carry the routing setting from executor startup into the managed network proxy.
## Testing
Add routing coverage for private address ranges, special-use addresses, and public targets with the option enabled and disabled. Verify that HTTP and CONNECT requests still enforce destination allowlists and denylists, and update the CLI help snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: b7c9cc7da0e0f545694a6521b74c9b36b7b92769
## What changed
- Define `capabilities/discoverV2` request and inventory types and advertise `capabilityDiscoveryV2` in executor metadata.
- Prewarm installed plugin and global skill locations at server startup, with nonfatal scan failures.
- Add sandbox-scoped discovery caching with file watcher invalidation and request-time reloads when watching is unavailable.
- Batch metadata reads through the filesystem sandbox helper and bound discovery responses to 4 MiB and 2,048 capabilities.
- Share plugin identity and installed-version selection in `codex-core-plugin-common`, and fall back to `.app.json` when a plugin does not declare an apps configuration.
The V2 discovery manager is not yet wired into RPC request dispatch.
## Testing
Add coverage for inventory metadata, sandbox cache isolation, watcher invalidation, startup scan failures, response limits, and compatibility with older executor metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: a223a5bc15fdf251023c0c71f468fd92c3b2d847
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: a03844bd1f0ea583bb54326683cddbfdd050119f
## What changed
- Run capability discovery for roots with the same sandbox context in one sandbox helper invocation.
- Keep roots with different sandbox permissions isolated, and fall back to per-root discovery if the batched invocation fails.
## Testing
- Add coverage for single-launch batching, fallback after a sandbox launch failure, and roots with different permission profiles.
GitOrigin-RevId: a6e185a8edfd028fc3639b7c6c3cc7da342b6fe3
## What changed
- Create remote plugin metrics directories through the standard executor filesystem API.
- Remove the `private` directory-creation protocol option and its platform-specific handling.
- Update the executor temporary-directory documentation to describe child-visible sidecars without an owner-private guarantee.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9a8532403a3ad2bf998281735be0b668893918c9
## Why
An `apply_patch` path can be replaced with a symlink after verification, allowing an unsandboxed patch operation to reach a different file than the one that was approved.
## What changed
- Add `follow_symlinks` options to executor filesystem reads, writes, metadata lookups, directory creation, and removal, including the corresponding `followSymlinks` protocol fields.
- Implement no-follow filesystem operations on Unix and Windows that reject links in any path component and restrict file access to regular files.
- Run `apply_patch` with symlink traversal disabled when an otherwise-required sandbox is bypassed, while retaining the existing follow-symlink default for standalone callers.
## Testing
- Cover leaf and ancestor symlinks across patch add, update, delete, and move operations, including a path swap after verification.
- Exercise local and remote no-follow filesystem behavior, concurrent directory creation, special-file rejection, and Windows reparse points.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43fd479084891493ce13564fbd894b98f329c6dd
## Why
Streaming reads previously rejected requests that used a platform filesystem
sandbox.
## What changed
- Open streamed files in the sandbox helper and return the open file to the
exec-server by passing a file descriptor on Unix or duplicating a file handle
on Windows.
- Advertise support through the `sandboxedFileStreaming` environment capability.
- Preserve close-on-exec behavior for transferred descriptors, including the
required inherited-descriptor cleanup on macOS.
## Testing
- Cover bounded sandboxed streams, continued reads after path replacement, and
rejection of symlink escapes outside readable roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 677b2444b74e834b78b87a8554bc119c1c6e08b2
## What changed
- Resolve manifest-declared metric operations against the executor filesystem for remote plugin commands.
- Create the measurement sidecar in an executor-native, owner-private temporary directory, stream its bounded output back for validation, and clean up the directory afterward.
- Extend the exec-server protocol with the executor temporary directory and atomic private-directory creation.
## Testing
- Cover remote unified-exec measurements for foreground and background commands.
- Verify private directories use owner-only permissions on Unix and fail closed on unsupported platforms.

Stack 1 of 3. Follow-ups: #29842 and #29844.
## What changes
Adds a general bounded `fs/walk` operation to the exec server.
The operation returns file and directory entries plus recoverable
per-path errors. It skips symlinks, preserves the existing filesystem
sandbox routing, and enforces depth, directory, entry, and response-size
limits.
This PR only defines and wires the filesystem operation. It does not
change any callers yet.
## Why
The app-server and exec-server expose separate JSON-RPC APIs, but
exec-server currently sources its serialized protocol and envelope types
through app-server-oriented code. Giving each API an explicit owner
makes the crate boundary legible without introducing shared generic
envelopes.
## What changed
- Added `codex-exec-server-protocol` to own exec DTOs, process IDs, and
JSON-RPC envelopes.
- Updated exec-server clients, transports, handlers, and tests to use
the new crate.
- Exposed app-server's existing JSON-RPC types through a public `rpc`
module while retaining root re-exports.
- Preserved existing wire shapes, including exec `PathUri` behavior.
## Stack
This is PR 1 of 6. Next: [PR
#29721](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29721), which moves auth
mode below the app wire boundary.
## Validation
- Exec-server protocol and server coverage passed in the focused
protocol test runs.
- App-server protocol schema fixtures passed.
## Why
`fs/readFile` buffers the entire file in one response, which makes large
remote reads expensive and prevents callers from applying backpressure.
We need an opt-in streaming path with bounded block sizes while
preserving the existing single-call API for small and sandboxed reads.
## What changed
- Add `ExecServerClient::stream`, returning a named `FileReadStream`
that implements `futures::Stream` and yields immutable 1 MiB byte
blocks.
- Add internal `fs/open`, `fs/readBlock`, and `fs/close` RPCs.
`fs/readBlock` accepts an explicit offset and length.
- Keep unsandboxed files open between block reads, cap open handles per
connection, and clean them up on EOF, error, stream drop, explicit
close, or connection shutdown.
- Reject platform-sandboxed streaming opens instead of turning the
one-shot sandbox helper into a persistent server. Existing `fs/readFile`
behavior is unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`
- Integration coverage for 1 MiB chunking, exact block-boundary EOF,
sandbox rejection, and continued reads from the opened file after path
replacement.
- Handle-manager coverage for non-sequential offsets, variable block
lengths, the 128-handle limit, and capacity release after close.
## Why
`ExecutorFileSystem::get_metadata` reports file kind and timestamps but
not size. Internal callers that need to enforce a size limit therefore
have to read the complete file first, which is especially wasteful for
remote filesystems.
This adds the missing internal metadata so consumers can reject
oversized files before transferring or buffering them. The field is
named `size`, matching VS Code's `FileStat.size` filesystem convention.
## What changed
- add `size: u64` to internal `FileMetadata`
- populate it from the underlying filesystem metadata
- carry it through sandbox-helper and remote exec-server responses
- cover files, directories, symlink targets, and sandboxed reads across
local and remote filesystem implementations
The new field is intentionally not exposed through the app-server API.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-exec-server get_metadata`
- `just test -p codex-exec-server
file_system_sandboxed_metadata_and_read_allow_readable_root`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins`
- `just test -p codex-skills-extension`
## Why
First-party async traits should expose their `Send` contracts explicitly
without requiring `async_trait`. This completes the migration pattern
established in #27303 and #27304.
## What changed
- Replaced the remaining first-party `async_trait` traits with native
return-position `impl Future + Send` where statically dispatched and
explicit boxed `Send` futures where object safety is required.
- Kept implementations behavior-preserving, outlining existing async
bodies into inherent methods where that keeps the diff reviewable.
- Removed all direct first-party `async-trait` dependencies and the
workspace dependency declaration.
- Added a cargo-deny policy that permits `async-trait` only through the
remaining transitive wrapper crates.
- Updated `rand` from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 to resolve RUSTSEC-2026-0097 and
keep the full cargo-deny check passing.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`: 216 passed, 2 skipped.
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`: 39 passed.
- `just test -p codex-core` and `just test`: changed tests passed;
remaining failures are environment-sensitive suites unrelated to this
migration.
- `cargo deny check`
- `just fix`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
Exec-server filesystem calls should preserve cross-platform `file:` URIs
across the remote boundary instead of converting them through paths
native to the client host.
This changes the exec-server filesystem protocol DTOs to use `PathUri`,
carries those values directly through remote and sandbox-helper
transports, and keeps legacy native absolute-path request strings
readable for compatibility. It also updates protocol documentation and
coverage for URI serialization and non-native URI forwarding.
## Why
We're moving exec-server to use PathUri for its internal path
representations.
## What
Move `ExecutorFileSystem` APIs to use `PathUri` instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf`. Future changes will convert higher-level parts of
exec-server.
## Summary
- add executor filesystem canonicalization as a bound-path operation
- route remote canonicalization through the exec-server filesystem RPC
surface
- keep path normalization attached to the filesystem that owns the path
