We currently see a behavior that looks like this:
```
2025-04-25T16:52:24.552789Z WARN codex_core::codex: stream disconnected - retrying turn (1/10 in 232ms)...
codex> event: BackgroundEvent { message: "stream error: stream disconnected before completion: Transport error: error decoding response body; retrying 1/10 in 232ms…" }
2025-04-25T16:52:54.789885Z WARN codex_core::codex: stream disconnected - retrying turn (2/10 in 418ms)...
codex> event: BackgroundEvent { message: "stream error: stream disconnected before completion: Transport error: error decoding response body; retrying 2/10 in 418ms…" }
```
This PR contains a few different fixes that attempt to resolve/improve
this:
1. **Remove overall client timeout.** I think
[this](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-c39945d3c42f29b506ff54b7fa2be0795b06d7ad97f1bf33956f60e3c6f19c19L173)
is perhaps the big fix -- it looks to me like this was actually timing
out even if events were still coming through, and that was causing a
disconnect right in the middle of a healthy stream.
2. **Cap response sizes.** We were frequently sending MUCH larger
responses than the upstream typescript `codex`, and that was definitely
not helping. [Fix
here](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-d792bef59aa3ee8cb0cbad8b176dbfefe451c227ac89919da7c3e536a9d6cdc0R21-R26)
for that one.
3. **Much higher idle timeout.** Our idle timeout value was much lower
than typescript.
4. **Sub-linear backoff.** We were much too aggressively backing off,
[this](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-5d5959b95c6239e6188516da5c6b7eb78154cd9cfedfb9f753d30a7b6d6b8b06R30-R33)
makes it sub-exponential but maintains the jitter and such.
I was seeing that `stream error: stream disconnected` behavior
constantly, and anecdotally I can no longer reproduce. It feels much
snappier.
- Replace setTimeout(10ms) with queueMicrotask for immediate processing
- Add minimal 3ms setTimeout for rendering to maintain readable UX
- Reduces per-token delay while preserving streaming experience
- Add performance test to verify optimization works correctly

fix: pass correct selected model in ModelOverlay
The ModelOverlay component was incorrectly passing the current model
instead of the newly selected model to its onSelect callback. This
prevented model changes from being applied properly.
The fix ensures that when a user selects a new model, the parent
component receives the correct newly selected model value, allowing
model changes to work as intended.

Hi! @tibo-openai 👋 Could you share some great examples of

## Description
This PR addresses the following improvements:
**Unify Prettier Version**: Currently, the Prettier version used in
`/package.json` and `/codex-cli/package.json` are different. In this PR,
we're updating both to use Prettier v3.
- Prettier v3 introduces improved support for JavaScript and TypeScript.
(e.g. the formatting scenario shown in the image below. This is more
aligned with the TypeScript indentation standard).
<img width="1126" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e237eb8-4553-4574-b336-ed9561c55370"
/>
**Add Prettier Auto-Formatting in lint-staged**: We've added a step to
automatically run prettier --write on JavaScript and TypeScript files as
part of the lint-staged process, before the ESLint checks.
- This will help ensure that all committed code is properly formatted
according to the project's Prettier configuration.
The `rust-ci.yml` build appears to be a bit flaky (we're looking into
it...), so to save TypeScript contributors some noise, restrict the
`rust-ci.yml` job so that it only runs on PRs that touch files in
`codex-rs/`.
## Description
When `saveConfig` is called, the project doc is incorrectly saved into
user instructions. This change ensures that only user instructions are
saved to `instructions.md` during saveConfig, preventing data
corruption.

As described in detail in `codex-rs/execpolicy/README.md` introduced in
this PR, `execpolicy` is a tool that lets you define a set of _patterns_
used to match [`execv(3)`](https://linux.die.net/man/3/execv)
invocations. When a pattern is matched, `execpolicy` returns the parsed
version in a structured form that is amenable to static analysis.
The primary use case is to define patterns match commands that should be
auto-approved by a tool such as Codex. This supports a richer pattern
matching mechanism that the sort of prefix-matching we have done to
date, e.g.:
5e40d9d221/codex-cli/src/approvals.ts (L333-L354)
Note we are still playing with the API and the `system_path` option in
particular still needs some work.
