## What changed
- Accept and ignore `features.personality` in user configuration, profiles, and managed requirements.
- Remove feature gating from `personality = "none"`, which strips the literal `# Personality` section when preparing model catalog instructions. Preserve explicit base instructions and existing thread instructions.
- Document deprecated personality fields in configuration, app-server schemas, and the Python SDK: `friendly` and `pragmatic` no longer select a style, and `supportsPersonality` is always `false`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for ignored legacy flag values and managed requirements, personality opt-out behavior with the flag absent or set to either value, role overrides, and preservation of explicit base instructions, including empty strings.

## What changed
Carry optional `available_access_programs` metadata through model information, presets, caches, and the TUI, and expose it as `availableAccessPrograms` in app-server `model/list` responses. Update the generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python models.
Preserve the distinction between missing metadata and an empty `cyber` list. Ignore unknown cyber program names when reading the catalog so new server programs do not prevent older clients from loading it. Discovery metadata does not grant access; inference still enforces authorization.
## Testing
Add coverage for absent, null, empty, and populated metadata, unknown program names, and app-server serialization. Extend cache tests and verify that online refreshes persist changed access metadata even when the catalog ETag stays unchanged.

## What changed
- Parse the optional `retirement_at` RFC 3339 value from model upgrade metadata, treating missing, null, or malformed values as unknown.
- Expose known retirement times from `model/list` as nullable Unix timestamps in `upgradeInfo.retirementAt` and preserve them when converting app-server models back into model presets.
- Update the generated protocol schemas and app-server documentation.
## Testing
- Cover absent, null, valid, and malformed catalog values.
- Verify `model/list` serialization and app-server model conversion for known, missing, and out-of-range timestamps.

## What changed
- Add nullable `multiAgentVersion` metadata to v2 `model/list` responses.
- Represent supported values as `disabled`, `v1`, or `v2` in the Rust API and generated JSON Schema and TypeScript exports.
- Forward the value from model catalog presets through app-server responses.
## Testing
- Extend the remote model catalog test fixture with a `v2` multi-agent version.

## What changed
- Propagate the optional `modelSpecialty` field through the model catalog and
app-server `model/list` response.
- When a newly selected model has the `cyber` specialty, default an active TUI
thread to workspace-write permissions with on-request approval. Use auto
review when available, otherwise keep the user as reviewer, while respecting
configured permission requirements.
- Show a notice when auto review is applied and strengthen the full-access
warning for cyber models.
- Preserve explicitly selected permissions when only reasoning settings change.
## Testing
- Cover auto-review defaults, requirement-aware fallback behavior, permission
preservation across reasoning changes, and the new warning notice.

## Why
Normal app-server protocol builds do not need the `ts-rs` and `schemars`
implementations used to generate schema exports.
## What changed
- Embed compressed stable and experimental TypeScript and JSON schema exports,
and serve the existing export APIs from those artifacts.
- Use no-op schema derives in non-test builds while keeping the real generators
available for fixture regeneration and tests.
- Move schema fixture regeneration behind a Python helper and update
`just write-app-server-schema --experimental` to refresh the experimental
embedded exports.
## Testing
- Verify embedded exports match freshly generated stable and experimental
schemas.
- Verify export options and on-disk output remain compatible.

## Summary
- read the request-scoped safety-buffering treatment from HTTP response
headers and per-turn WebSocket metadata through one shared header parser
- combine that treatment with Responses API safety-buffering signals
- propagate `showBufferingUi` and nullable `fasterModel` through the
existing `model/safetyBuffering/updated` app-server notification
- update the app-server documentation and generated JSON and TypeScript
schemas
The public implementation contains no model mapping or real model
identifier. Tests and protocol examples use generic `current-model` and
`faster-model` placeholders only.
## Dependencies
- server-side treatment evaluation:
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1060247
- initial Responses API safety-buffering propagation:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29371
- Codex App UI: https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1057789
## Validation
- Codex API tests: 129 passed
- focused Codex core safety-buffering integration test passed
- app-server protocol tests passed after regenerating schema fixtures
- Clippy fix and repository formatting completed successfully
The broader app-server run compiled all changed crates and completed
with 1,269 passing tests. Its remaining failures were unrelated
environment limitations: macOS sandbox application was denied, one
expected test binary was unavailable, and several existing subprocess
tests timed out as a result.
Responses API safety buffering metadata currently stops at the transport
boundary, so app-server clients cannot render the in-progress safety
review state.
This change:
- decodes and deduplicates `safety_buffering` metadata from Responses
API SSE and WebSocket events without suppressing the original response
event
- emits a typed core event containing the requested model plus backend
use cases and reasons
- forwards that event as `turn/safetyBuffering/updated` through
app-server v2 and updates generated protocol schemas
- keeps the side-channel event out of persisted rollouts and turn timing
This supports the Codex Apps buffering UX and depends on the Responses
API backend work in https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044569 and
https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1044571.
Validation:
- focused `codex-core` safety-buffering integration test passes

- broad package test run: 4,430/4,492 passed; 62 unrelated
local-environment/concurrency failures involved unavailable test
binaries, MCP subprocess setup, and app-server timeouts
## Why
First-party backends can supply turn-scoped moderation metadata that
app-server clients need for client-side presentation. Exposing this as
an experimental typed notification lets opted-in clients consume it
without interpreting raw Responses API events.
## What changed
- forward `response.metadata.openai_chatgpt_moderation_metadata` from
Responses API SSE and WebSocket streams as turn-scoped moderation
metadata
- emit the experimental app-server v2 `turn/moderationMetadata`
notification with `{ threadId, turnId, metadata }`
- add app-server integration coverage for the typed moderation metadata
notification
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
build_ws_client_metadata_includes_window_lineage_and_turn_metadata`
- `just test -p codex-core` (fails locally: 46 failures and 1 timeout,
primarily missing `test_stdio_server` and shell snapshot timeouts)
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
turn_moderation_metadata_emits_typed_notification_v2`
- `just test -p codex-app-server` (fails locally: 792 passed, 10 failed,
and 5 timed out; failures are in existing environment-sensitive tests,
primarily because nested macOS `sandbox-exec` is not permitted)
- `just write-app-server-schema --experimental --schema-root

## Why
Model catalog responses can now advertise a nullable
`default_service_tier` for each model. Codex needs to preserve three
distinct states all the way from config/app-server inputs to inference:
- no explicit service tier, so the client may apply the current model
catalog default when FastMode is enabled
- explicit `default`, meaning the user intentionally wants standard
routing
- explicit catalog tier ids such as `priority`, `flex`, or future tiers
Keeping those states distinct prevents the UI from showing one tier
while core sends another, especially after model switches or app-server
`thread/start` / `turn/start` updates.
## What Changed
- Plumbed `default_service_tier` through model catalog protocol types,
app-server model responses, generated schemas, model cache fixtures, and
provider/model-manager conversions.
- Added the request-only `default` service tier sentinel and normalized
legacy config spelling so `fast` in `config.toml` still materializes as
the runtime/request id `priority`.
- Moved catalog default resolution to the TUI/client side, including
recomputing the effective service tier when model/FastMode-dependent
surfaces change.
- Updated app-server thread lifecycle config construction so
`serviceTier: null` preserves explicit standard-routing intent by
mapping to `default` instead of internal `None`.
- Kept core responsible for validating explicit tiers against the
current model and stripping `default` before `/v1/responses`, without
applying catalog defaults itself.

## 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.
