## Note-- added plugin mentions via @, but that conflicts with file
mentions
depends and builds upon #13433.
- introduces explicit `@plugin` mentions. this injects the plugin's mcp
servers, app names, and skill name format into turn context as a dev
message.
- we do not yet have UI for these mentions, so we currently parse raw
text (as opposed to skills and apps which have UI chips, autocomplete,
etc.) this depends on a `plugins/list` app-server endpoint we can feed
the UI with, which is upcoming
- also annotate mcp and app tool descriptions with the plugin(s) they
come from. this gives the model a first class way of understanding what
tools come from which plugins, which will help implicit invocation.
### Tests
Added and updated tests, unit and integration. Also confirmed locally a
raw `@plugin` injects the dev message, and the model knows about its
apps, mcps, and skills.
## Summary
This updates the `js_repl` prompt and docs to make the image guidance
less confusing.
## What changed
- Clarified that `codex.emitImage(...)` adds one image per call and can
be called multiple times to emit multiple images.
- Reworded the image-encoding guidance to be general `js_repl` advice
instead of `ImageDetailOriginal`-specific behavior.
- Updated the guidance to recommend JPEG at about quality 85 when lossy
compression is acceptable, and PNG when transparency or lossless detail
matters.
- Mirrored the same wording in the public `js_repl` docs.
This improves macOS Seatbelt handling for sandboxed tool processes.
## Changes
- Allow dual-stack local binding in proxy-managed sessions, while still
keeping traffic limited to loopback and configured proxy endpoints.
- Replace the old generic unix-socket path rule with explicit AF_UNIX
permissions for socket creation, bind, and outbound connect.
- Keep explicitly approved wrapper sockets connect-only.
Local helper servers are less likely to fail when binding on macOS.
Tools using local unix-socket IPC should work more reliably under the
sandbox.
Full-network sessions, proxy fail-closed behavior, and proxy lifecycle
are unchanged.
## Summary
- always pass `--unshare-user` in the Linux bubblewrap argv builders
- stop relying on bubblewrap's auto-userns behavior, which is skipped
for `uid 0`
- update argv expectations in tests and document the explicit user
namespace behavior
The installed Codex binary reproduced the same issue with:
- `codex -c features.use_linux_sandbox_bwrap=true sandbox linux -- true`
- `bwrap: Creating new namespace failed: Operation not permitted`
This happens because Codex asked bubblewrap for mount/pid/network
namespaces without explicitly asking for a user namespace. In a
root-inside-container environment without ambient `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, that
fails. Adding `--unshare-user` makes bubblewrap create the user
namespace first and then the remaining namespaces succeed.
This PR adds a durable trace linkage for each turn by storing the active
trace ID on the rollout TurnContext record stored in session rollout
files.
Before this change, we propagated trace context at runtime but didn’t
persist a stable per-turn trace key in rollout history. That made
after-the-fact debugging harder (for example, mapping a historical turn
to the corresponding trace in datadog). This sets us up for much easier
debugging in the future.
### What changed
- Added an optional `trace_id` to TurnContextItem (rollout schema).
- Added a small OTEL helper to read the current span trace ID.
- Captured `trace_id` when creating `TurnContext` and included it in
`to_turn_context_item()`.
- Updated tests and fixtures that construct TurnContextItem so
older/no-trace cases still work.
### Why this approach
TurnContext is already the canonical durable per-turn metadata in
rollout. This keeps ownership clean: trace linkage lives with other
persisted turn metadata.
### Motivation
- Prevent untrusted js_repl code from supplying arbitrary external URLs
that the host would forward into model input and cause external fetches
/ data exfiltration. This change narrows the emitImage contract to safe,
self-contained data URLs.
### Description
- Kernel: added `normalizeEmitImageUrl` and enforce that string-valued
`codex.emitImage(...)` inputs and `input_image`/content-item paths only
accept non-empty `data:` URLs; byte-based paths still produce data URLs
as before (`kernel.js`).
- Host: added `validate_emitted_image_url` and check `EmitImage`
requests before creating `FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage`,
returning an error to the kernel if the URL is not a `data:` URL
(`mod.rs`).
- Tests/docs: added a runtime test
`js_repl_emit_image_rejects_non_data_url` to assert rejection of
non-data URLs and updated user-facing docs/instruction text to state
`data URL` support instead of generic direct image URLs (`mod.rs`,
`docs/js_repl.md`, `project_doc.rs`).
### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` in `codex-rs`; it completed successfully.
- Added a runtime test (`cargo test -p codex-core
js_repl_emit_image_rejects_non_data_url`) but executing the test in this
environment failed due to a missing system dependency required by
`codex-linux-sandbox` (the vendored `bubblewrap` build requires
`libcap.pc` via `pkg-config`), so the test could not be run here.
- Attempted a focused `cargo test` invocation with and without default
features; both compile/test attempts were blocked by the same missing
system `libcap` dependency in this environment.

## Summary
This changes the Unix shell escalation path for skill-matched
executables to apply a skill's `PermissionProfile` as additive
permissions on top of the existing turn/request sandbox policy.
Previously, skill-matched executables compiled the skill permission
profile into a standalone sandbox policy and executed against that
replacement policy. Now they go through the same
`additional_permissions` merge path used elsewhere in shell sandbox
preparation.
## What Changed
- Changed `skill_escalation_execution()` to return
`EscalationPermissions::PermissionProfile(...)` for non-empty skill
permission profiles.
- Kept empty or missing skill permission profiles on the `TurnDefault`
path.
- Added tests covering the new additive skill-permission behavior.
- Added inline comments in `prepare_escalated_exec()` clarifying the
difference between additive permission merging and fully specified
replacement sandbox policies.
- Removed the now-unused skill permission compiler module after
switching this path away from standalone compiled skill sandbox
policies.
## Testing
- Ran `just fmt` in `codex-rs`
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core`
`cargo test -p codex-core` still hits an unrelated existing failure:
`shell_snapshot::tests::snapshot_shell_does_not_inherit_stdin`
## Follow-up
This change intentionally does not merge skill-specific macOS seatbelt
profile extensions through the `additional_permissions` path yet.
Filesystem and network permissions now follow the additive merge path,
but seatbelt extension permissions still need separate handling in a
follow-up PR.
## Summary
- Change `js_repl` failed-cell persistence so later cells keep prior
bindings plus only the current-cell bindings whose initialization
definitely completed before the throw.
- Preserve initialized lexical bindings across failed cells via
module-namespace readability, including top-level destructuring that
partially succeeds before a later throw.
- Preserve hoisted `var` and `function` bindings only when execution
clearly reached their declaration site, and preserve direct top-level
pre-declaration `var` writes and updates through explicit write-site
markers.
- Preserve top-level `for...in` / `for...of` `var` bindings when the
loop body executes at least once, using a first-iteration guard to avoid
per-iteration bookkeeping overhead.
- Keep prior module state intact across link-time failures and
evaluation failures before the prelude runs, while still allowing failed
cells that already recreated prior bindings to persist updates to those
existing bindings.
- Hide internal commit hooks from user `js_repl` code after the prelude
aliases them, so snippets cannot spoof committed bindings by calling the
raw `import.meta` hooks directly.
- Add focused regression coverage for the supported failed-cell
behaviors and the intentionally unsupported boundaries.
- Update `js_repl` docs and generated instructions to describe the new,
narrower failed-cell persistence model.
## Motivation
We saw `js_repl` drop bindings that had already been initialized
successfully when a later statement in the same cell threw, for example:
const { context: liveContext, session } =
await initializeGoogleSheetsLiveForTab(tab);
// later statement throws
That was surprising in practice because successful earlier work
disappeared from the next cell.
This change makes failed-cell persistence more useful without trying to
model every possible partially executed JavaScript edge case. The
resulting behavior is narrower and easier to reason about:
- prior bindings are always preserved
- lexical bindings persist when their initialization completed before
the throw
- hoisted `var` / `function` bindings persist only when execution
clearly reached their declaration or a supported top-level `var` write
site
- failed cells that already recreated prior bindings can persist writes
to those existing bindings even if they introduce no new bindings
The detailed edge-case matrix stays in `docs/js_repl.md`. The
model-facing `project_doc` guidance is intentionally shorter and focused
on generation-relevant behavior.
## Supported Failed-Cell Behavior
- Prior bindings remain available after a failed cell.
- Initialized lexical bindings remain available after a failed cell.
- Top-level destructuring like `const { a, b } = ...` preserves names
whose initialization completed before a later throw.
- Hoisted `function` bindings persist when execution reached the
declaration statement before the throw.
- Direct top-level pre-declaration `var` writes and updates persist, for
example:
- `x = 1`
- `x += 1`
- `x++`
- short-circuiting logical assignments only persist when the write
branch actually runs
- Non-empty top-level `for...in` / `for...of` `var` loops persist their
loop bindings.
- Failed cells can persist updates to existing carried bindings after
the prelude has run, even when the cell commits no new bindings.
- Link failures and eval failures before the prelude do not poison
`@prev`.
## Intentionally Unsupported Failed-Cell Cases
- Hoisted function reads before the declaration, such as `foo(); ...;
function foo() {}`
- Aliasing or inference-based recovery from reads before declaration
- Nested writes inside already-instrumented assignment RHS expressions
- Destructuring-assignment recovery for hoisted `var`
- Partial `var` destructuring recovery
- Pre-declaration `undefined` reads for hoisted `var`
- Empty top-level `for...in` / `for...of` loop vars
- Nested or scope-sensitive pre-declaration `var` writes outside direct
top-level expression statements
