## Why
Windows release packages need the voice helper and native audio libraries. Realtime TLS connections on fresh Windows installations also need platform certificate validation so Windows can retrieve missing trusted roots on demand.
## What changed
- Build and sign the voice helper and audio DLLs for Windows x64 and ARM64, bundle a pinned Microsoft CRT DLL, and verify signatures and runtime receipts before packaging.
- Add verified, pinned Cygwin and native build tools plus MSVC linker, compiler, and path handling fixes for the Windows Bazel builds.
- Include voice resources in primary release archives and WinGet packages. Preserve WinGet executable names, update manifest hashes, and recognize the package root through matching entrypoint metadata. Keep Python runtime wheels voice-free to preserve their existing Windows support floor.
- Use Windows platform TLS validation for realtime WebSockets when no custom CA bundle is configured, preserving custom CA behavior.
## Testing
Add coverage for build-input integrity and unsafe paths, signed Windows runtime assembly, WinGet file and hash preservation, package discovery, and TLS trust selection, untrusted certificate rejection, and hostname validation.

## Why
Linux voice needs system ALSA plugins and enough buffering to accommodate PipeWire graph cycles without losing capture samples. Voice startup failures also need actionable diagnostics without exposing native error details.
## What changed
- Build and bundle GNU voice helpers and runtimes with primary Linux musl release archives, and sign the archives. Keep Python wheels free of these libraries to preserve `manylinux_2_17` compatibility.
- Discover ALSA plugins in fixed system directories and increase Linux capture and playback buffering to support larger PipeWire graph cycles.
- Report voice failures by stage, preserve negotiation timeout classification, and discard native error sources. Suppress the misleading `requested` closure message after failure cleanup.
- Add explicit Windows MSVC, pkgconf, and CMake toolchain configuration and preserve host architecture in native build environments.
## Testing
Add coverage for Linux release assembly, ALSA plugin discovery, PipeWire capture and playback, classified startup failures, failure cleanup rendering, and Windows build environment handling.

## What changed
- Build the voice host and native runtime with Bazel's `-c opt` configuration.
- Resolve runtime paths before validating their contents in the release workflow.
- Make `runtime.json` owner-writable before sealing the post-signing release receipt.
- Use `scripts` in `PYTHONPATH` so archive creation can import `codex_package.archive`.

## What changed
- Build, sign, and notarize `codex-voice-host` and its native runtime for Apple Silicon and Intel macOS release packages, granting the helper audio-input access.
- Include voice resources in primary package archives and DMGs, with a root-level `codex` symlink to `bin/codex` so the runtime can be located.
- Seal runtime receipts with post-signing hashes, require matching release versions and source builds, and bundle dependency notices, licenses, and source metadata.
- Keep voice resources out of Python wheels to preserve their older macOS compatibility; the native voice build targets macOS 14.
## Testing
Add packaging tests for alpha, beta, and stable versions, signed-byte preservation, license hashes, receipt validation, tamper detection, and exclusion of unlisted files. Extend release verification to check voice architectures, signatures, build identity, package hashes, and DMG contents.

## Why
The macOS release workflow fetched `rg` and zsh while assembling package
archives, after the signing stage. This left the bundled helper executables
outside the workflow's signing and notarization checks.
## What changed
- Fetch, sign, notarize, and upload the pinned macOS `rg` and zsh binaries with
the other release artifacts.
- Build package archives from those signed helpers via `--rg-bin` and the new
`--zsh-bin` override.
- Verify the helpers' architecture, signatures, and absence of entitlements in
the final package.
## Testing
- Cover the prebuilt zsh override and verify that package assembly preserves
the supplied helper binaries.

## Summary
- build, strip, sign, and publish `codex-code-mode-host` with the
primary Codex release binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows
- place the host beside `codex[.exe]` in canonical package archives,
macOS DMGs, and the legacy Linux bundle so the runtime's sibling lookup
succeeds
- preserve and validate the host through standalone installers and
Python runtime wheel staging
- add package-builder coverage for source selection and the resulting
package layout
## Why
The process-owned code-mode client launches `codex-code-mode-host` as a
sibling of the running Codex executable. Release artifacts currently
build and bundle `codex` without that host, so code mode cannot start
from installed packages.
## Why
Once #30114 publishes zsh independently, regular Rust releases should
reuse that protected, versioned artifact set instead of rebuilding
identical zsh binaries for every Codex version. Keeping the zsh release
tag explicit in the workflow also makes future artifact upgrades
deliberate and easy to review.
This PR assumes the first standalone artifact release will be published
as `codex-zsh-v0.1.0` before this change lands.
## What changed
- Added `CODEX_ZSH_RELEASE_TAG` near the top of
`.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`, initially pinned to
`codex-zsh-v0.1.0`.
- Download the standalone release’s generated `codex-zsh` DotSlash
manifest before assembling Linux and macOS Codex packages.
- Added a `--zsh-manifest` package-builder override so release packaging
fetches the matching target archive and verifies the size and SHA-256
digest recorded in that manifest.
- Removed the reusable zsh build job from regular Rust releases.
- Stopped copying zsh archives into each Rust release and stopped
regenerating a zsh DotSlash manifest there.
Windows packaging remains unchanged because the patched zsh resource is
only shipped for supported Unix targets.
## Testing
- Added package-helper coverage that supplies a standalone manifest
override and verifies the extracted zsh bytes.
- Ran the `scripts/codex_package` unit test suite.
- Validated `.github/scripts/build-codex-package-archive.sh` with `bash
-n`.
## Why
Release packaging should be a staging step once release binaries have
already been built and signed. The Windows release job was downloading
and signing `codex-command-runner.exe` and
`codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe`, but `scripts/build_codex_package.py`
still rebuilt those helpers while creating the package archives.
That makes the package step slower and, more importantly, risks putting
helper binaries in the archive that were produced after the signing
step. Linux had the same shape for package resources: `bwrap` could be
rebuilt by the package builder instead of being passed in as a prebuilt
release artifact.
This builds on #23752, which fixes `.tar.zst` creation when Windows
runners rely on the repository DotSlash `zstd` wrapper.
## What changed
- Add explicit prebuilt resource inputs to the Codex package builder:
- `--bwrap-bin`
- `--codex-command-runner-bin`
- `--codex-windows-sandbox-setup-bin`
- Make `.github/scripts/build-codex-package-archive.sh` pass resource
binaries from the release output directory when they are already
present.
- Build Linux `bwrap` for app-server release jobs too, so app-server
package creation does not invoke Cargo just to supply the package
resource.
- Keep macOS package creation as a no-Cargo path when `--entrypoint-bin`
is provided, since macOS packages have no resource binaries.
- Add unit coverage showing prebuilt macOS, Linux, and Windows package
inputs result in no source-built binaries.
## Verification
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/codex_package -p 'test_*.py'`
- `python3 -m py_compile scripts/codex_package/*.py`
- `bash -n .github/scripts/build-codex-package-archive.sh`
- Dry-ran Linux and Windows package builds with fake prebuilt resources
and a nonexistent Cargo path to verify the package builder did not
invoke Cargo.

## Summary
DotSlash should resolve the same canonical package archives used by
standalone installers and npm platform packages, rather than continuing
to point at single-binary zstd artifacts or the older Linux bundle
archive.
This updates the Codex CLI and `codex-app-server` DotSlash release
config entries to match `codex-package-<target>.tar.gz` and
`codex-app-server-package-<target>.tar.gz`, with paths that select
`bin/codex` or `bin/codex-app-server` inside the extracted package. The
other helper outputs stay on their existing per-binary artifacts for
now.
## Test plan
- `python3 -m json.tool .github/dotslash-config.json > /dev/null`
- Ran a Python regex smoke test that checked every updated `codex` and
`codex-app-server` platform entry against the archive names emitted by
`.github/scripts/build-codex-package-archive.sh`.
## Why
Release CI already builds the Codex entrypoints before staging
artifacts, and the package builder can now package those prebuilt
binaries directly. The workflow should produce package-shaped sidecar
archives from the same staged entrypoints that downstream distribution
channels will eventually consume, without rebuilding `codex` or
`codex-app-server` inside the packaging step.
This intentionally does **not** publish the new package archives as
GitHub Release assets yet. The archives are kept with workflow artifacts
until npm, Homebrew, `install.sh`, winget, and related consumers are
ready to switch over.
## What changed
- Adds a `Build Codex package archive` step to
`.github/workflows/rust-release.yml` after target artifacts are staged.
- Runs `scripts/build_codex_package.py` for both release bundles:
- `primary` builds `codex-package-${TARGET}.tar.gz` with `--variant
codex`.
- `app-server` builds `codex-app-server-package-${TARGET}.tar.gz` with
`--variant codex-app-server`.
- Passes `--entrypoint-bin target/${TARGET}/release/<entrypoint>` so
packages contain the entrypoint already built by the workflow.
- Deletes both package archive names before the final GitHub Release
upload so they remain workflow artifacts only for now.
## Verification
- Parsed `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml` with Ruby's YAML loader.
