## 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.

## Why
`chatwidget.rs` is still carrying too many unrelated responsibilities in
one file. After #21866 consolidated some of the state it tracks, this
starts the next phase by moving coherent state/helper clusters out of
the main module without changing behavior.
This PR is intentionally mechanical: it only moves existing functions,
structs, and helpers into focused modules so the boundaries are easier
to review before the less mechanical refactors that should follow.
## What Changed
- Moved user-message, composer, queue, pending steer, and merge/remap
helpers into `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/user_messages.rs`.
- Added `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/exec_state.rs` for unified exec
bookkeeping helpers.
- Added `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/rate_limits.rs` for rate-limit
warning, prompt, and error classification state.
- Moved plugin list fetch and install auth-flow state into
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/plugins.rs`.
- Made a couple of test-only `VecDeque` imports explicit now that those
tests no longer inherit the parent module import.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` was run
## Follow-On Refactor Phases
This PR is phase 1: mechanical helper and state moves. Planned follow-up
PRs:
- Phase 2: extract input and submission flow, including queued user
messages, shell prompt submission, pending steer restoration, and thread
input snapshot/restore behavior.
- Phase 3: extract protocol, replay, streaming, and tool lifecycle
handling, while preserving active-cell grouping, transcript
invalidation, interrupt deferral, and final-message separator behavior.
- Phase 4: extract settings, popups, and status surfaces, including
model/reasoning/collaboration/personality popups, permission prompts,
rate-limit UI, and connectors helpers.
- Phase 5: clean up the remaining constructor and orchestration code
once the larger behavior domains have moved out, leaving `chatwidget.rs`
as the composition layer.
Supersedes the abandoned #19859, rebuilt on latest `main`.
# Why
PR #19705 adds discovery for hooks bundled with plugins, but `/plugins`
still only shows skills, apps, and MCP servers. This follow-up makes
bundled hooks visible in the same plugin detail view so users can
inspect the full plugin surface in one place.
We also need `PluginHookSummary` to populate Plugin Hooks in the app;
`hooks/list` is not enough there because plugin detail needs to show
hooks for disabled plugins too.
# What
- extend `plugin/read` with `PluginHookSummary` entries for bundled
hooks
- summarize plugin hooks while loading plugin details
- render a `Hooks` row in the `/plugins` detail popup

This PR adds marketplace upgrade to the `/plugins` menu so users can
update configured marketplaces. It adds a `Ctrl+U` shortcut on eligible
marketplace tabs, a loading state, and the app-server request flow
needed to perform `marketplace/upgrade`. After a successful upgrade, the
TUI refreshes plugin data, plugin mentions, and user config so updated
marketplace contents show up across the menu and other plugin surfaces.
It also preserves the current marketplace tab on no-op and failure paths
and surfaces backend error details directly in the TUI.
- Add a `Ctrl+U` upgrade option for user-configured marketplace tabs in
`/plugins`
- Show the upgrade footer hint only on upgradeable marketplace tabs
- Show a loading state during `marketplace/upgrade`
- Surface already-up-to-date and per-marketplace failure results from
the backend
- Refresh plugin data, plugin mentions, and user config after successful
upgrades
- Add tests and snapshot updates for the shortcut flow, loading state,
and failure messaging
Steps to test:
1. Add a `/plugin` marketplace to Codex TUI.
2. Open `/plugins`, move to that marketplace tab, and confirm the footer
shows `Ctrl+U` to upgrade.
3. Press `Ctrl+U` and confirm the popup switches into an upgrade loading
state.
4. When the request finishes, confirm you see the expected result:
updated marketplace contents on success, an already-up-to-date message
on no-op, or backend error details on failure. On no-op or failure,
confirm the popup stays on the same marketplace tab.
## Why
Issue #20489 calls out that animated TUI affordances can be noisy for
screen-reader users. Codex already has `tui.animations = false` as a
reduced-motion setting, but some live activity rows render spinner-style
prefixes in that mode. These were relatively recent regressions.
We have also regressed this pattern more than once by adding new
spinner/shimmer callsites that do not think through the reduced-motion
path, so this PR adds a small guardrail while fixing the current
surfaces.
## What changed
- Omit the live status-row spinner when animations are disabled, so the
row starts with stable text like `Working (...)`.
- Render running hook headers without the spinner prefix when animations
are disabled, while preserving shimmer/spinner behavior when animations
are enabled.
- Centralize TUI activity indicators in `tui/src/motion.rs`, with
explicit reduced-motion choices for hidden prefixes, static bullets, and
plain shimmer-text fallbacks.
- Route existing spinner/shimmer callsites through the central motion
helper, including exec rows, MCP/web-search/loading rows, hook rows,
plugin loading, and onboarding loading text.
- Add a source-scan regression test that rejects direct `spinner(...)`
or `shimmer_spans(...)` usage outside the central module and primitive
definition.
- Add focused coverage that reduced-motion active exec rows are stable,
status rows start without a spinner, running hooks omit the spinner, and
MCP inventory loading stays stable.
- Update the one affected status-indicator snapshot; the existing detail
tree prefix remains unchanged.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`
This PR adds marketplace removal to the /plugins menu, giving users a
way to remove user-configured plugin marketplaces. It adds a `Ctrl+R`
shortcut to remove selected marketplace tabs, a confirmation prompt,
loading and error states, and the app-server request flow needed to
perform marketplace/remove. After a successful removal, the TUI
refreshes config, plugin mentions, user config, and plugin data so the
removed marketplace disappears from the menu and other surfaces in the
TUI.
- Add `Ctrl+R` removal option for user-configured marketplace tabs
- Show marketplace removal confirmation, loading, and error states
- Route `marketplace/remove` through the TUI background request flow
- Refresh config, plugin mentions, and plugin data after successful
removal
- Adds reusable per-tab footer hints so removal guidance only appears on
applicable tabs
- Add test coverage for `Ctrl+R` behavior while plugin search is active
Steps to test:
- Add a marketplace using the TUI /plugins menu
- Use Ctrl+R to remove the marketplace
- Accept the confirmation prompt
- Confirm the marketplace is removed when the process completes.
This PR adds a new feature to the `/plugins` menu that gives users the
ability to add new plugin marketplaces. It introduces an Add Marketplace
tab to the right of installed marketplaces, a source prompt, loading and
error states, and the app-server request flow needed to perform the
install. After a successful `marketplace/add`, the popup refreshes back
into the newly added marketplace tab so the new plugins are immediately
visible.
- Add an Add Marketplace tab to the `/plugins` menu
- Prompt for marketplace source input from git repo, URL, or local path
- Show loading and error states during `marketplace/add`
- Refresh plugin data after success and switch into the newly added
marketplace tab
- Add tests and snapshot updates
Add a temporary internal remote_plugin feature flag that merges remote
marketplaces into plugin/list and routes plugin/read through the remote
APIs when needed, while keeping pure local marketplaces working as
before.

This PR adds inline enable/disable controls to the new /plugins browse
menu. Installed plugins can now be toggled directly from the list with
keyboard interaction, and the associated config-write plumbing is
included so the UI and persisted plugin state stay in sync. This also
includes the queued-write handling needed to avoid stale toggle
completions overwriting newer intent.
- Add toggleable plugin rows for installed plugins in /plugins
- Support Space to enable or disable without leaving the list
- Persist plugin enablement through the existing app/config write path
- Preserve the current selection while the list refreshes after a toggle
- Add tests and snapshot updates for toggling behavior

## Summary
Update the plugin API for the new remote plugin model.
The mental model is no longer “keep local plugin state in sync with
remote.” Instead, local and remote plugins are becoming separate
sources. Remote catalog entries can be shown directly from the remote
API before installation; after installation they are still downloaded
into the local cache for execution, but remote installed state will come
from the API and be held in memory rather than being read from config.
• ## API changes
- Remove `forceRemoteSync` from `plugin/list`, `plugin/install`, and
`plugin/uninstall`.
- Remove `remoteSyncError` from `plugin/list`.
- Add remote-capable metadata to `plugin/list` / `plugin/read`:
- nullable `marketplaces[].path`
- `source: { type: "remote", downloadUrl }`
- URL asset fields alongside local path fields:
`composerIconUrl`, `logoUrl`, `screenshotUrls`
- Make `plugin/read` and `plugin/install` source-compatible:
- `marketplacePath?: AbsolutePathBuf | null`
- `remoteMarketplaceName?: string | null`
- exactly one source is required at runtime
This PR moves `/plugins` onto the shared tabbed selection-list
infrastructure and introduces the new v2 menu. The menu now groups
plugins into All Plugins, Installed, OpenAI Curated, and per-marketplace
tabs.
- Rebuild /plugins on top of the shared tabbed selection list
- Add All Plugins, Installed, OpenAI Curated, and per-marketplace tabs
- Preserve active tab and selected-row behavior across popup refreshes
- Add duplicate marketplace tab-label disambiguation
- Update browse-mode popup tests and snapshots

This PR adds shared bottom-pane selection-list for future `/plugins`
menu work and wires the existing `/plugins` menu into the new
list-rendering path without changing it to tabs yet. The main
user-visible effect is that the current plugin list now renders as a
denser single-line list with shared name-column sizing, while the tabbed
selection support remains available for follow-up PRs but is currently
unused in production menus.
- Add generic tabbed selection-list support to the bottom pane,
including per-tab headers/items and tab-aware list state
- Add single-line row rendering with ellipsis truncation for dense list
UIs
- Add shared name-column width support so descriptions align
consistently across rows
- Wire the current /plugins menu to the new single-line and shared
column-width behavior only
- Keep tabbed menu adoption deferred; no existing menu is switched to
tabs in this PR

This is a follow-up to https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15922. That
previous PR deleted the old `tui` directory and left the new
`tui_app_server` directory in place. This PR renames `tui_app_server` to
`tui` and fixes up all references.
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
Migrate `cwd` and related session/config state to `AbsolutePathBuf` so
downstream consumers consistently see absolute working directories.
Add test-only `.abs()` helpers for `Path`, `PathBuf`, and `TempDir`, and
update branch-local tests to use them instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf::try_from(...)`.
For the remaining TUI/app-server snapshot coverage that renders absolute
cwd values, keep the snapshots unchanged and skip the Windows-only cases
where the platform-specific absolute path layout differs.
- Remove marketplace from left column.
- Change `Can be installed` to `Available`
- Align right-column marketplace + selected-row hint text across states.
- Changes applied to both `tui` and `tui_app_server`.
- Update related snapshots/tests.

Updates plugin ordering so installed plugins are listed first, with
alphabetical sorting applied within the installed and uninstalled
groups. The behavior is now consistent across both `tui` and
`tui_app_server`, and related tests/snapshots were updated.
Show all plugin marketplaces in the /plugins popup by removing the
`openai-curated` marketplace filter, and update plugin popup
copy/tests/snapshots to match the new behavior in both TUI codepaths.
### Preliminary /plugins TUI menu
- Adds a preliminary /plugins menu flow in both tui and tui_app_server.
- Fetches plugin list data asynchronously and shows loading/error/cached
states.
- Limits this first pass to the curated ChatGPT marketplace.
- Shows available plugins with installed/status metadata.
- Supports in-menu search over plugin display name, plugin id, plugin
name, and marketplace label.
- Opens a plugin detail view on selection, including summaries for
Skills, Apps, and MCP Servers, with back navigation.
### Testing
- Launch codex-cli with plugins enabled (`--enable plugins`).
- Run /plugins and verify:
- loading state appears first
- plugin list is shown
- search filters results
- selecting a plugin opens detail view, with a list of
skills/connectors/MCP servers for the plugin
- back action returns to the list.
- Verify disabled behavior by running /plugins without plugins enabled
(shows “Plugins are disabled” message).
- Launch with `--enable tui_app_server` (and plugins enabled) and repeat
the same /plugins flow; behavior should match.
