## What changed
- Apply managed values for `sqlite_home`, `log_dir`, `model_catalog_json`,
`check_for_update_on_startup`, `allow_login_shell`, the report-submission
opt-in, and `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to the runtime configuration,
with source-aware warnings when they override configured values.
- Expose these values through `configRequirements/read`, return them from
`config/read`, include them in session config locks, and show their sources in
the TUI config debug view.
- Reject app-server writes that overlap an exact managed requirement with
`configRequirementReadonly` while leaving unrelated sibling keys writable.
## Testing
- Cover runtime overrides, requirement API mapping, config reads and writes,
session lock serialization, cross-platform path URIs, and debug output.
GitOrigin-RevId: d4e23b6fd7775c1a6dfe2eab313cdcee50b07081
## What changed
- Add the optional `forceRefetch` boolean to `PluginListParams` and generated schemas.
- Accept both omitted and enabled values without changing `plugin/list` behavior yet.
- Cover deserialization of the enabled value in the protocol tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: fd4145161e9779638bc0bf18118d5ab5b8478745
## What changed
- Add an optional opaque `providerId` to `externalAgentConfig/import` for analytics attribution, independently of the `migrationSource` selector.
- Include the provider ID in completed-import and import-failure analytics events.
- Have TUI imports identify their selected migration source as the provider.
## Testing
- Cover provider attribution in app-server import completion and failure tests and analytics serialization tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0ee7313a43652e5305939c526bf6b903a79334ad
## What changed
- Add `maxSessionAgeDays` and `maxSessions` to the external-agent config detection request.
- Apply the requested limits when discovering sessions from supported migration sources.
- Preserve the existing defaults of a 30-day maximum age and 50 sessions when either option is omitted.
GitOrigin-RevId: 46376e94b64f1f61d8776e34d82cdd2cdeb36ca0
## What changed
- Add `iconUrlDark`, `distributionChannel`, `installUrl`, and
`pluginDisplayNames` to the experimental `app/read` connector metadata.
- Populate plugin display names from enabled plugins without starting their MCP
servers.
- Accept both dark-icon field spellings from the batch API and keep the new
upstream fields optional for compatibility with older responses.
## Testing
- Cover the serialized response fields, legacy batch responses, and plugin
display-name lookup without MCP startup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 68601a104de839c0f4f4621d33b0e4d08ad88c64
## What changed
- Change `ReviewDecision::Denied` to carry a rejection string and update the generated protocol schemas.
- Preserve specific rejection reasons through command, patch, network, MCP, delegated, and automatic approval flows so tool results can return them to the model.
- Distinguish invalid approval responses from user declines and truncate oversized rejection messages before adding them to model context.
## Testing
- Add coverage for denial serialization, invalid app-server approval responses, dropped automatic reviews, network rejection propagation, and rejection-message truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: d48a55643aa03c7ecfa08a8e4b669913eec5464a
## What changed
- Add `additionalContextLimit` to command hook configuration for events that can emit `additionalContext`.
- Apply the limit independently to each hook's context before it is sent to the model. Unset values retain the 2,500-token default, while `0` disables spilling for that hook.
- Expose configured limits through app-server hook and requirements responses, and show them in the TUI hooks browser.
## Testing
- Cover JSON and TOML parsing, discovery and hashing, per-hook spilling behavior, app-server responses, and TUI rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 55ddc2dbbdf9067dceee3e1968c03617bbf6bcea
## What changed
- Add an optional `initialItems` field to `thread/realtime/start` for seeding
realtime V3 session history with `user`, `developer`, and `assistant` text.
- Encode the items in Frameless Bidi session bootstrap payloads for websocket
and WebRTC transports while preserving existing payloads when the list is
omitted or empty.
- Reject non-empty initial items for V1 and V2, more than 128 items, any item
over 8,192 estimated tokens, or a combined total over 8,192 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover protocol serialization, app-server forwarding, websocket and WebRTC
payloads, empty-list compatibility, version checks, and size limits.
GitOrigin-RevId: 09af367f9a07543e3f8d59b7fa5387f932dc5a6a
## What changed
- Add `audio` to the model input modalities exposed by the protocol and generated app-server schemas.
- Preserve audio in prompts for models that advertise audio input, and replace historical audio with an omission marker for models that do not.
## Testing
- Cover prompt normalization with and without audio support.
- Extend the model-switching integration test to verify that switching from a multimodal model to a text-only model strips prior image and audio content.
GitOrigin-RevId: c18e47ad602720216303ff9abb5bca4d508391ee
## What changed
- Add remote and local audio variants to core and app-server user inputs, including generated JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Preserve audio fields when converting app-server inputs and response content into thread items.
- Keep unsupported audio out of model requests, TUI rendering, text extraction, and truncated tool output, using explicit text placeholders where audio is submitted as a model input.
## Testing
- Cover app-server media conversion, unsupported-input placeholders, TUI omission, and tool-output truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16152bf3af674575ce569764a8b472e032e7569d
## What changed
- Accept `LISTED` discoverability in `plugin/share/updateTargets` and forward it to the remote plugin sharing API.
- Update the generated JSON schemas and TypeScript type with the new enum value.
## Testing
- Add an app-server integration test that publishes a workspace plugin and verifies the `LISTED` request and response.
GitOrigin-RevId: 978f4b94b318e772bf80347e58dd5b1d2819a653
## What changed
- Add `codexResponseHandoffMode` to `thread/realtime/start` for V3 sessions, with `thinking` as the default and `commentary` and `bemTags` routing modes.
- Map BEM `analysis` and `commentary` output to the commentary channel and `final` output to the speakable channel, while preserving the original BEM envelope. Unrecognized output falls back to speakable.
- Mark explicit speech appends as speakable and stop adding the legacy `"Agent Final Message"` prefix to V3 handoffs. V1 and V2 continue to ignore the new setting.
## Testing
- Cover channel selection for every routing mode, streamed BEM header parsing, fallback behavior, explicit speech, and V1 compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1974578257488f2914b252c9c1990ba38831c96b
## What changed
- Add nullable `mustShowInstallationInterstitial` metadata to app-server
`PluginSummary` responses.
- Preserve the remote service value through catalog, installed-plugin cache,
list, read, and share-list paths.
- Return `null` for local plugins and remote responses that omit the field so
clients can fail closed when the policy is unavailable.
## Testing
- Cover `true`, `false`, and missing values across remote summary paths and
app-server plugin endpoints.
GitOrigin-RevId: db79702ee2bfa800a9910d64d933bcabecb3ce70
## What changed
- Add the `SessionEnd` hook event to hook configuration, protocol schemas, analytics, and the hooks browser.
- Run matching hooks for root threads during shutdown, including app-server archive, delete, idle unload, and graceful shutdown. Flush the transcript first and provide the session ID, transcript path, working directory, and `reason: "other"`.
- Keep teardown bounded: hook output is advisory, the default timeout is one second, configured timeouts are capped at three seconds, and async hooks run synchronously with a warning.
## Testing
- Cover transcript availability, matcher selection, timeout normalization, ignored control output, subagent exclusion, archive/delete ordering, and graceful shutdown of multiple loaded threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5d19a658677a137caf836ed5042dcb43f5eb6d1a
## What changed
- Add `app/installed` to return each connector observed in the committed runtime tool snapshot, including its runtime name and effective `enabled` and `callable` state.
- Support evaluating thread-specific configuration with `threadId` and refreshing the hosted connector tool snapshot with `forceRefresh`.
- Preserve observed connector identities as disabled when global or workspace policy disables Apps, and retain the previous snapshot when a refresh fails.
## Testing
- Cover cached and forced reads, policy and configuration filtering, thread-specific configuration, snapshot refresh failures, and protocol serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: f697b6fb501b7d329a169e947a1c1607806222fe
## What changed
- Allow the built-in `amazon-bedrock` provider to override `base_url`, `auth`,
and `http_headers` in addition to its AWS profile and region.
- Use command-based bearer authentication and configured endpoints without
applying AWS request signing, while retaining regional endpoint resolution
for the default Bedrock configuration.
- Replace the Bedrock account `credentialSource` enum with the
`usesCodexManagedCredentials` boolean so command-authenticated and other
externally managed configurations are reported consistently.
## Testing
- Cover configuration merging and validation, command-authenticated proxy
requests with custom headers, and account reporting for managed and external
credentials.
GitOrigin-RevId: d1acbe602060470583b5e12f8d304bee5be46f4c
## What changed
- Add the experimental `app/read` request for fetching metadata for up to 100
app IDs, with optional display-only tool summaries.
- Preserve first-request order while deduplicating IDs, and report unknown or
unauthorized apps as partial misses.
- Cache metadata by backend and ChatGPT account/workspace identity, refetch
metadata-only entries when tools are requested, and preserve cached records
when a backend request fails.
## Testing
- Cover request serialization, ordering, deduplication, partial misses, caching,
tool-summary refetches, backend failures, cache isolation, and the ID limit.
GitOrigin-RevId: 55fc3281d99291e76d6c4a581e8d11569d3cb1ac
## What changed
Add `cacheWriteInputTokens` to the usage breakdown in the
`rawResponse/completed` JSON schema, defaulting it to zero. Update the
compaction and turn-start notification expectations for the expanded usage
breakdown.
GitOrigin-RevId: d9232b724d646b803c7f5a64c5daa311f77ad408
## What changed
- Remove `template_id` from MCP tool call items and lifecycle events.
- Remove `templateId` from app-server `McpToolCallAppContext` responses and generated schemas.
- Update protocol conversions, documentation, and existing test expectations for the revised metadata shape.
GitOrigin-RevId: f2b1304eadff661eec3966673ea71206b1542b98
## What changed
- Parse `cache_write_tokens` from response input token details and carry it through token usage aggregation.
- Expose `cache_write_input_tokens` in protocol, app-server, exec, and TypeScript SDK usage events, defaulting it to zero for compatibility with older payloads.
- Report cache-write usage in analytics, metrics, traces, and rollout data alongside existing cache-read usage.
## Testing
- Add coverage for response parsing, usage event output, aggregation, analytics, metrics, and telemetry fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: 634e4fbe3086a8923c0ee13b622573e7d9d221bd
## What changed
- Detect and import supported Cursor settings, sandbox permissions, MCP servers,
project instructions, hooks, agents, commands, plugins, and recent chat
sessions.
- Update the `/import` flow to check Claude Code and Cursor, prompting for a
source when both have importable data.
- Add `migrationSource` to the app-server detect and import requests so each
operation uses the selected adapter, while retaining `source` for import
attribution and backwards compatibility.
## Testing
- Add coverage for Cursor config conversion, hooks, plugins, session discovery
and conversion, app-server imports, and TUI source selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: a65a1511b6c1c2f9e3e0cfe4f816bb435807282e
## What changed
- Correlate MCP server attribution in imported session records with connector
metadata, and persist normalized connector names in the session import ledger.
- Extend `externalAgentConfig/import/readHistories` with connector candidates,
including each connector's display name, imported-session count, and detection
source.
## Testing
- Cover connector detection through the session import and history-read flow.
- Verify candidate aggregation uses the latest import for each source session.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7f1f7f596925b2e6efcd17afd4490148e1ac9ff1
## What changed
- Add realtime conversation version `v3`, which preserves the V1 Codex Voice behavior while using Frameless Bidi `delegation.*` events.
- Translate audio, transcripts, handoffs, session context, and lifecycle events between the app server and the Frameless Bidi wire protocol.
- Support `v3` over WebSocket and WebRTC, including the Frameless `/live` endpoint, session configuration, headers, and default model selection.
- Update the app-server protocol schemas and documentation for the new version.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for Frameless event parsing, outbound messages, context chunking, URL construction, and call creation.
- Add app-server end-to-end coverage for WebSocket delegation and WebRTC session startup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 79a3307bc209e1a54582ebd2febc07c909fca016
## What changed
- Track connected and disconnected states across initial remote exec-server connections and reconnection attempts.
- Emit experimental `thread/environment/connected` and `thread/environment/disconnected` app-server notifications for each thread selecting the environment. Each payload identifies the thread and environment; current state is not replayed when a thread starts.
- Stop forwarding connection events when an environment selection is removed or replaced.
## Testing
- Cover connection, disconnection, reconnection, shared-environment notifications, and replacement of a selected environment.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5dd767372363c4a2a8319fc16164be117d5bd20c
## Why
Sparse and out-of-order rate-limit updates can omit account metadata or let an
older full read overwrite a newer workspace hard stop. Credit availability also
does not always include a displayable balance.
## What changed
- Propagate the backend's `spendControlReached` state through rate-limit
snapshots and the app-server protocol, preserving it across sparse updates.
- Keep workspace hard-stop classifications for error routing and ignore stale
full-read results after a newer hard-stop notification.
- Base TUI warnings and model-switch prompts on credit availability and hard-stop
state, and show `Credits: Available` when a finite balance is hidden.
## Testing
Added coverage for spend-control mapping, snapshot merging, out-of-order reads,
workspace error routing, warning and prompt behavior, and credit status display.
GitOrigin-RevId: 18b09d493d5a620a7c079fb721ec50b38dd5b04c
## What changed
- Add `subErrorType` to external agent config import failures and carry it through progress and completion notifications, persisted import histories, and analytics.
- Expose plugin store failure subtypes from `PluginInstallError` so manual installs and imported plugins report details such as `failed_to_copy_plugin_file` while failures without a subtype remain `null`.
- Keep existing persisted import records compatible by defaulting the new field when it is absent.
## Testing
- Cover store I/O subtype extraction, analytics serialization, persisted import histories, and migration notification fixtures.
GitOrigin-RevId: ec1a85623fc826cbd7cfe9f55c2dd2bc86665937
## What changed
- Define `SleepItem` in `codex-extension-items` and carry `clock.sleep` events through `TurnItem::Extension`.
- Preserve sleep persistence, thread-history reconstruction, and the app-server's `type: "sleep"` schema while reusing the extension-owned type.
## Testing
- Add serialization coverage for the `clock.sleep` extension wire shape and its protocol wrapper.
- Update sleep lifecycle and thread-history tests to exercise the extension-owned item.
GitOrigin-RevId: 34bb33ed9b90a09bf4744aafdb56e019c717a168
## Why
Clients could discover threads with paginated history, but could not page their
turns through `thread/turns/list`.
## What changed
- Route `thread/turns/list` for paginated threads through the thread store,
preserving cursors, sort direction, turn status, timing, errors, and the
requested `summary` or `notLoaded` item view.
- Reject the `full` turn item view for paginated threads and direct clients to
`thread/items/list` for complete item pagination.
- Return each item page entry with both its containing `turnId` and `item`, so
clients can regroup thread-wide pages into turns.
- Expose local thread-store turn and item pagination through the `ThreadStore`
implementation.
## Testing
Added app-server coverage for paging projected turns and items, item views,
cursors, turn metadata, and rejection of the unsupported `full` view.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9c4a127a9b4fa91313f0e87494c62fe2e3a06f19
## Why
Special filesystem subpaths can contain relative or foreign-platform path
spellings. Treating this wire text as a host-native path can reinterpret it.
## What changed
- Store special filesystem subpaths as strings in the core permissions model.
- Represent app-server subpaths as `LegacyAppPathString` and convert them at
the protocol boundary without changing their spelling.
- Add `LegacyAppPathString::from_string` for callers that already own legacy
app-server path text.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2214f03aa997fd0e6eb2ab60d425304bb4bd6132
## Why
Clients that account for individual upstream Responses API calls need the exact
usage for each completion rather than accumulated or estimated thread usage.
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `rawResponse/completed` app-server notification with the
`threadId`, `turnId`, `responseId`, and upstream `usage` payload.
- Emit the transient event for normal turns and compaction requests when
`experimentalRawEvents` is enabled. The event is not persisted or replayed,
and `usage` is `null` when the upstream response omits it.
- Export the notification in the app-server schemas and document its behavior.
## Testing
- Cover exact token breakdowns for turn and compaction completions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 49040a060bf1784c1ff1dd62112efb4a778428c4
## Why
Multi-environment turns can run against different filesystems, so a single
thread-wide workspace-root list cannot accurately describe every selected
environment.
## What changed
- Add optional `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` to each app-server environment selection.
Omitted roots default to that environment's `cwd`, while an empty list selects
no roots.
- Carry environment-native roots through turn selection, model-visible context,
permission materialization, and tool sandboxing.
- Keep the top-level `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` field as a compatibility input when
constructing default environment selections; explicit selections use their
own roots.
## Testing
- Cover thread and turn API defaults, overrides, empty roots, and schema
round-tripping.
- Verify foreign roots remain model-visible and remote execution applies the
target environment's roots before sandbox selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: c6e7a62883c45c676c153055f46a55ee15a323a4
## What changed
- Add an optional `emittedAtMs` field to server notification envelopes and expose the envelope in the generated JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Populate the Unix timestamp when app-server emits a notification, before transport routing, so every connection in a fan-out receives the same value.
- Keep the field optional for clients decoding notifications from older app-server versions.
## Testing
- Verify notification serialization includes `emittedAtMs`.
- Verify targeted fan-out reuses one timestamp across connections.
GitOrigin-RevId: b379cb11e8e91c558bcd3d46ce459311a6e81e54
## Why
Standalone web search can return structured result DTOs separately from its
model-facing text output. App-server clients need access to that data without
coupling Codex to every result type or field.
## What changed
- Preserve the optional `results` array from `/v1/alpha/search` as opaque JSON
through web-search completion events, thread history, and app-server
`webSearch` items.
- Keep responses from older endpoints compatible when `results` is absent, and
allow clients to ignore result types and fields they do not understand.
- Regenerate the protocol schemas and TypeScript definitions for the optional
field.
## Testing
- Cover responses with missing, empty, and forward-compatible result payloads.
- Verify standalone web-search results round-trip through app-server item
notifications and thread-item conversion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 739ef5694ece5733f7b8749ec41d6bfa3f33c8c5
## What changed
- Add an optional `source` selector to `externalAgentConfig/detect`, while preserving the existing behavior for omitted, `null`, and unrecognized values.
- Pass `claude-code` as the source for TUI detection and import requests.
- Move source-specific migration behavior behind an adapter boundary and consolidate session migration into `codex-external-agent-migration`.
## Testing
- Cover explicit, omitted, and unknown detection source values with app-server protocol tests.
- Add unit coverage for the extracted migration and hook helpers.
GitOrigin-RevId: 63bd3dcb485f3ad7bd996022db4e351506aeea77
## What changed
- Add optional `scheduledTasks` metadata to `plugin/read` responses for remote
plugins, including hourly, daily, weekday, and weekly schedules.
- Preserve the distinction between unavailable metadata (`null`) and a catalog
response containing no scheduled tasks (`[]`). Local plugin details return
`null`.
- Export the corresponding Rust, JSON Schema, and TypeScript protocol types.
## Testing
- Cover scheduled-task deserialization and propagation through `plugin/read`.
- Verify missing and empty remote metadata remain distinct.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7af223ed0a1bf6d8f054293084a73f34c6d0332d
## Why
App-server clients can report whether Amazon Bedrock is using
AWS-managed credentials or a Codex-managed API key, but they do not have
a matching API for creating the managed login. This PR defines that
experimental wire contract independently from its implementation.
Managed Bedrock API keys are already a primary `CodexAuth` mode. The API
therefore describes a normal Codex login that replaces the current
stored auth rather than introducing provider-scoped credential storage.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `amazonBedrock` variant to `account/login/start`.
- Accept an API key and AWS region and return a matching discriminated
response.
- Gate the request behind the app-server `experimentalApi` capability.
- Regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol schemas.
- Document the login contract, notifications, primary-auth replacement
semantics, restart boundary, and non-transactional durable writes.
## Impact
This PR defines the API shape but does not implement login behavior. The
next PR adds validation, persistence through the existing Codex auth
lifecycle, provider selection, and notifications.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Stack
1. **#31327 Managed Bedrock experimental API** — base: `main`
2. #31326 Managed Bedrock login — base: `codex/managed-bedrock-api`
3. #31325 Managed Bedrock logout — base:
`codex/managed-bedrock-login-v2`
## What
Adds an optional hosted login-success redirect path for app-server login
requests.
- Keeps the existing localhost success page as the default.
- Lets app-server callers opt into a hosted success page with an
optional protocol field.
- Persists credentials before redirecting to the hosted success page.
- Keeps org setup and existing CLI/device-code login flows on the local
success page.
- Accepts an optional typed `appBrand` value and forwards it to the
hosted page as `app_brand` so web can select the correct asset.
- Generates the app-server protocol schema updates for the new optional
fields.
## Why
This supports the hosted Codex login success page rollout without
changing existing login behavior by default. The Codex Apps frontend can
gate the opt-in with Statsig after the hosted web page.
## Rollout safety
- Old callers omit the new field and continue using localhost.
- New callers talking to old app-server builds remain safe because the
Codex Apps side treats the field as optional and defaults the flag off.
- Missing brand values default to Codex.
- The hosted redirect always uses the app-login source so the hosted
page can reopen Codex; the existing streamlined-login visual flag
remains separate.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-login -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server -p codex-app-server-test-client -p codex-tui`
- `just test -p codex-login`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `git diff HEAD --check`
The focused login and protocol run passed all 380 tests.
I also started the broader `just test -p codex-app-server`; it compiled
successfully, then many tests failed on this machine because spawned
test servers tried to use the ambient `/Users/rafaelj/.codex/sqlite`
state DB, which is read-only in this sandbox. I stopped that run after
confirming the failures shared that environment issue.
## Summary
- Adds `writes` to `AppToolApproval` and exposes it through config and
app-server schemas, including
`[apps._default].default_tools_approval_mode`.
- In `writes`, tools with `readOnlyHint = true` skip approval; all other
tools prompt, including non-destructive writes and tools without
annotations.
- Prevents session or persistent approval choices in this mode so later
writes still prompt.
## Why
`auto` only prompts for risk-hinted actions, while `prompt` also
interrupts reads. Apps need a middle mode that gates writes without
prompting for declared read-only actions.
## Validation

- `just write-app-server-schema`

## Summary
- Add `PluginInstallPolicySource` to the app-server v2 `PluginSummary`
payload.
- Propagate remote `installation_policy_source` through plugin
summaries, details, installed-plugin caching, and app-server responses.
- Preserve the supported source values and map unrecognized backend
values to `null`.
- Return `null` for local plugins and expose the field in generated JSON
and TypeScript schemas.
- Update app-server API documentation and plugin list/read coverage.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` (251 passed)
- Targeted `codex-app-server` plugin list, installed, and read tests (4
passed)
- Targeted `codex-core-plugins` known and unknown policy source tests (2
passed)
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
Supported clients currently receive only a reset-credit count from
`account/rateLimits/read`. The redemption UI and other app-server
clients need each available credit's expiry and ID so they can explain
what will expire and consume the credit a user selected. This
information belongs on the existing rate-limit read surface rather than
a second app-server list RPC that clients would need to coordinate.
## What changed
- extend `rateLimitResetCredits` on `account/rateLimits/read` with
nullable `credits` detail rows
- fetch usage and reset-credit details concurrently; if the detail
request fails, times out, or cannot be parsed, preserve the usage
response and return `credits: null`
- expose each credit's ID, reset type, status, grant time, expiry time,
title, and description
- add an optional nullable `creditId` to
`account/rateLimitResetCredit/consume`; omitting it preserves the
existing automatic-selection behavior
- forward a selected credit ID to the Codex backend and update the
app-server documentation and generated schemas
The TUI consumer is stacked in #30488.
## Validation

- `just test -p codex-backend-client` (16 passed)
- `just test -p codex-app-server rate_limit` (18 passed)
Part of #29618.
## Why
Multi-agent V2 normally derives its mode instructions from reasoning
effort: Ultra enables proactive delegation, while other efforts require
an explicit request. Some deployments need to provide one configured
delegation policy that replaces those built-ins and remains stable when
reasoning effort changes.
## What changed
- Add `features.multi_agent_v2.multi_agent_mode_hint_text` alongside the
existing root and subagent hint settings.
- Treat any configured value, including an empty string, as
`MultiAgentMode::Custom(hint_text)`, so the configured text replaces the
built-in explicit-only and proactive policies.
- Persist the full custom variant and hint text in the turn-context
snapshot, so the durable comparison baseline detects both
reasoning-effort changes and configured policy-text changes.
- Preserve the existing explicit-only/proactive behavior when the
setting is absent.
- Replace the ambiguous `MultiAgentMode::None` variant with
`MultiAgentMode::Custom(String)` in new rollouts and API schemas. A
compatibility wire type maps legacy serialized `none` values to
`Custom("")` when resuming existing rollouts.
- Regenerate the config and app-server schemas.
## Configuration examples
The distinction is whether `multi_agent_mode_hint_text` is present. An
empty string is still a configured value and intentionally suppresses
the built-in mode instructions.
### Unset: preserve existing effort-derived behavior
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
# multi_agent_mode_hint_text is omitted
```
- Ultra reasoning uses the built-in proactive delegation instructions.
- Other reasoning efforts use the built-in explicit-request-only
instructions.
### Empty: suppress all mode hint text
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
multi_agent_mode_hint_text = ""
```
This selects effective mode `custom` at every reasoning effort and
injects an empty mode body, suppressing both built-in policies.
### Set: always use the configured text
```toml
[features.multi_agent_v2]
enabled = true
multi_agent_mode_hint_text = "Delegate to subagents when it will materially improve the result."
```
This selects effective mode `custom` at every reasoning effort and
injects the configured text verbatim instead of either built-in policy.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-core multi_agent_mode`
- Covers a configured hint across High and Ultra reasoning efforts and
verifies the full custom hint is recorded for both turns.
- Covers an empty-string override suppressing both built-in instruction
bodies.
- `just test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- Covers legacy `none` turn-context deserialization as `Custom("")` and
verifies the regenerated schemas.
## Summary
- Preserve the optional namespace on custom tool calls during response
deserialization and app-server replay.
- Use the namespaced tool identifier for streaming argument handling and
tool dispatch.
- Regenerate app-server protocol schemas.
- Add regression tests covering namespace serialization and routing.
## Testing
- Ran affected protocol and app-server test suites.
- Ran the full core test suite; two load-sensitive timing tests passed
when rerun individually.
- Ran Clippy and formatting checks.
- Verified with a local end-to-end app-server replay that the namespace
is preserved through the complete request/response flow.
## Why
Marketplace source deserialization treated `{"source":"npm", ...}` as
unsupported. The loader logged and skipped the entry, so npm-backed
plugins never appeared in `plugin list --available` and `plugin add`
returned "plugin not found".
Codex plugins are installed from a plugin root, not from an npm
dependency tree. For npm-backed marketplace entries, Codex should fetch
the published package contents without running package scripts or
installing unrelated dependencies.
## What changed
- Add `npm` marketplace plugin sources with `package`, optional semver
`version` or version range, and optional HTTPS `registry`.
- Reject unsafe npm source fields before materialization, including
invalid package names, non-semver version selectors, plaintext or
credential-bearing registry URLs, and registry query/fragment data.
- Materialize npm plugins with `npm pack --ignore-scripts`, then unpack
the resulting tarball through the existing hardened plugin bundle
extractor.
- Enforce npm archive and extracted-size limits, require the standard
npm `package/` archive root, and verify the extracted `package.json`
name matches the requested package before installing.
- Keep plugin listings, install-source descriptions, CLI JSON/human
output, app-server v2 `PluginSource`, TUI source summaries, regenerated
schema fixtures, and app-server documentation in sync.
## Impact
Marketplaces can distribute Codex plugins from public or configured
private HTTPS npm registries using the same install flow as existing
materialized plugin sources. `npm` must be available on `PATH` when an
npm-backed plugin is installed.
Fixes#27831
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just test -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-app-server-protocol -p
codex-app-server -p codex-cli`
- npm/schema/core-plugin coverage passed in the run.
- The full focused command finished with `1739 passed`, `11 failed`, and
`6 timed out`; the failures were unrelated local app-server environment
failures from `sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted`
plus one missing `test_stdio_server` helper binary.
- Installed an npm-published Codex plugin package through a throwaway
local marketplace and throwaway `CODEX_HOME` to exercise the real npm
materialization path end to end.
## Description
This adds stable optional `turnId` support to `thread/fork`. When
supplied, the fork copies persisted history through that terminal turn,
inclusive, and drops later turns from the new thread.
Omitting or passing `null` preserves the existing full-history fork
behavior, including the interruption marker when the stored source
history ends mid-turn.
## Why
We're deprecating `thread/rollback` and this will help certain UX use
cases work around it by using `thread/fork` + `turn_id` instead.
## Why
Admins need persistent defaults for the model, reasoning effort, and
service tier shown when the Desktop App creates a new thread. These are
initialization defaults rather than runtime constraints: the App should
use them to initialize its draft while still allowing a user to make an
explicit selection.
The app-server therefore needs to expose the managed values before
thread creation without changing `thread/start` behavior for other
clients.
## What changed
- Parse `model`, `model_reasoning_effort`, and `service_tier` from
`[models.new_thread]` in `requirements.toml`.
- Compose the `models` requirements through the existing
requirements-layer precedence rules.
- Expose the resolved values through `configRequirements/read` as
`requirements.models.newThread`.
- Add the corresponding app-server protocol types and regenerate the
JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures.
- Document the new `configRequirements/read` fields in the app-server
README.
## Scope
This PR is data plumbing only. It does not apply these values during
`thread/start` and does not change thread creation for existing
app-server clients, resumed or forked sessions, internal or subagent
sessions, `codex exec`, or the TUI. A companion Desktop App change owns
draft initialization, sends the effective settings for ordinary and
prewarmed starts, and preserves explicit user changes.
## Validation
- Requirements deserialization coverage for `[models.new_thread]`
- Requirements-layer precedence coverage
- App-server API mapping coverage
- `configRequirements/read` integration coverage
- Regenerated app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
