## Summary
- register flattened handler aliases for deferred MCP tools
- cover the node_repl-shaped deferred MCP call path in tool registry
tests
## Root Cause
Deferred MCP tools were registered only under their namespaced handler
key, e.g. `mcp__node_repl__:js`. If the model/bridge emitted the
flattened qualified name `mcp__node_repl__js`, core parsed it as an MCP
payload but dispatch looked up the flattened handler key and returned
`unsupported call` before reaching the MCP handler.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tools
search_tool_registers_deferred_mcp_flattened_handlers`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
search_tool_registers_namespaced_mcp_tool_aliases`
- `git diff --check`
Select Current Thread startup context by budget from newest turns, cap
each rendered turn at 300 approximate tokens, and add formatter plus
integration snapshot coverage.
## Summary
- update the guardian timeout guidance to say permission approval review
timed out
- simplify the retry guidance to say retry once or ask the user for
guidance or explicit approval
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-core
guardian_timeout_message_distinguishes_timeout_from_policy_denial
- cargo test -p codex-core
guardian_review_decision_maps_to_mcp_tool_decision
**Summary**
This PR treats Guardian timeouts as distinct from explicit denials in
the core approval paths.
Timeouts now return timeout-specific guidance instead of Guardian
policy-rejection messaging.
It updates the command, shell, network, and MCP approval flows and adds
focused test coverage.
Addresses #17303
Problem: The standalone codex-tui entrypoint only printed token usage on
exit, so resumable sessions could omit the codex resume footer even when
thread metadata was available.
Solution: Format codex-tui exit output from AppExitInfo so it includes
the same resume hint as the main CLI and reports fatal exits
consistently.
Addresses #17311
Problem: `/stop` stops background terminals, but `/ps` can still show
stale entries because the TUI process cache is cleared only after later
exec end events arrive.
Solution: Clear the TUI's tracked unified exec process list and footer
immediately when `/stop` submits background terminal cleanup.
Addresses #17353
Problem: Codex rate-limit fetching failed when the backend returned the
new `prolite` subscription plan type.
Solution: Add `prolite` to the backend/account/auth plan mappings, keep
unknown WHAM plan values decodable, and regenerate app-server plan
schemas.
