## What changed
Store dynamic tool specifications in an `Arc<[DynamicToolSpec]>` so session configuration and turn snapshots share the list fixed at thread startup instead of copying it on each clone.
Keep the `dynamic_tools()` accessor returning a `Vec<DynamicToolSpec>`, but copy the specifications after releasing the session state lock.

## Why
A remote primary environment could supply its working directory and workspace roots to host plugins and MCP processes, breaking relative MCP executable resolution and applying the wrong workspace permissions.
## What changed
- Build host configuration from the local environment, falling back to the session's host working directory and runtime workspace roots when no local environment is selected. Preserve explicitly empty local roots.
- Use the same host configuration for MCP startup and refresh, and refresh MCP state when runtime workspace roots change.
- Keep repository skill discovery paired with the primary executor's working directory and filesystem.
- Box skill warmup and turn context construction futures to reduce enclosing future sizes.
## Testing
Extend the MCP integration test to cover a remote primary with populated, empty, or absent local roots; relative executable resolution before and after refresh; workspace-root revocation; and remote repository skill discovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21a73c90507b55fd94261e7bf348695ff8466a24
## What changed
Pass the parent turn's `cyber_access_program` to Guardian reviewers and asynchronous classifiers. Use `daybreak_blue` for either Daybreak selection, preserve `standard`, and omit `access_programs` when no program is selected.
Capture the selection with the owning turn so asynchronous observations retain it across later turns. Resolve classifier programs using current authentication and the same provider and API-key feature policy as ordinary model requests.
## Testing
Add regression tests for program changes across reused reviewer sessions with API-key and ChatGPT authentication, snapshot and conversation classifiers at low and high risk, and enabled, disabled, and unsupported-provider API-key policies. Verify parent requests retain their selected program.
GitOrigin-RevId: 447f306df3a6bd6805464b819950690c751b04b4
## What changed
- Use the standard shell executor and remove the zsh fork escalation runtime, `codex-execve-wrapper`, and `shell-escalation` crate.
- Ignore `shell_zsh_fork` and `unified_exec_zsh_fork`, emit migration notices for legacy configuration, and warn when ignoring managed requirements for these flags.
- Keep the active session's `apply_patch` alias directory readable under restricted filesystem permissions.
## Testing
Add coverage for legacy configuration startup and shell execution, migration notice rendering, active alias directory selection, and nested `apply_patch` execution while other files in `CODEX_HOME` remain unreadable.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43af461fea32b4980550ee7237effd2bc0646ed8
## What changed
Move `SandboxOverride` into the shared protocol and carry the controller's selection through tool attempts, execution requests, and exec-server process and filesystem sandbox preparation. Include it as `sandboxOverride` in filesystem sandbox contexts for observation without granting broader permissions or altering sandbox commands.
Default missing values to `NoOverride` and omit that value when serializing to preserve compatibility with existing requests.
## Testing
Extend tests to cover override propagation, wire round-trips for all three variants, and deserialization of requests without `sandboxOverride`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2f438cf4aef1134e3149959d14aa731682168ae5
## What changed
Remove `workspace_roots`, `current_date`, `timezone`, `network`, `personality`, and `multi_agent_mode` from `TurnContextItem` and stop recording them in rollouts. Update the precomputed protocol schema accordingly.
Make `summary` optional when reading turn context and write `"none"` as a compatibility placeholder for older readers, rather than persisting the active reasoning-summary setting.
## Testing
Update protocol tests to cover omitted `summary` fields and compatibility-placeholder serialization. Extend compaction tests to verify that model requests retain the updated reasoning-summary setting after compaction while the rollout checkpoint records the placeholder.
GitOrigin-RevId: d49eabaa1b340be1d79f7f09115281a307ea8a64
## Why
Clients starting delegated work need to attribute descendant turns to the original turn and retain that attribution through completion and history reads.
## What changed
- Accept optional `parentTurnId` and `rootTurnId` in `turn/start`, and expose `rootTurnId` on returned turns and lifecycle notifications.
- Default new turns to their own root when none is supplied. Preserve the active turn's root when steering, ignoring incoming lineage fields.
- Carry root IDs through completion, interruption, recovery, and fork boundaries, and persist them for paginated history reads. Leave unknown roots null in older history.
- Update protocol schemas and generated TypeScript and Python bindings.
## Testing
Extend coverage for default and explicit roots, steering without changing lineage, interrupted and recovered turns, history reads after restart in both history modes, nested fork pagination, and compatibility with older database writers.
GitOrigin-RevId: f1a570a12bd11742929fd2e8b017e5d35aa07dcb
## Why
Recovering an interrupted turn replaced its original trigger with `retry` and restored only its root lineage from model context. Turns suspended before that context was written could lose their attribution entirely.
## What changed
- Persist regular-turn attribution in `TurnStartedEvent` and compaction resume metadata, including the trigger, parent and root turn IDs, and initiating agent path.
- Restore matching attribution during recovery, keep unknown triggers absent, and retain the model-context root fallback for older records.
- Reconstruct attribution from surviving turns across rollback and late completion or abort events, and clear inherited attribution when spawning a forked agent.
## Testing
Add coverage for repeated cold recovery, suspension before context persistence, legacy rollouts, fresh attribution on subsequent turns, compaction checkpoints, rollback, and late terminal events.
GitOrigin-RevId: 85b5763e8fbd48a1ea2c07cfda8196e63c2cd33a
## Why
Fast mode previously gated both Fast and Ultra Fast, preventing policies from allowing one while disabling the other.
## What changed
- Add the default-enabled `features.ultrafast_mode` flag and enforce it independently of `features.fast_mode` in service-tier selection, requests, and agent prewarming.
- Filter TUI service-tier commands and selections by the corresponding policy and model catalog support.
- Report `supportsIndependentSpeedModes: true` from `configRequirements/read` and update the protocol schemas and generated bindings. Retain the shared Fast gate when connecting to older servers that omit this capability.
- Preserve legacy cloud speed denials by translating `rbac-fast-mode` fragments with `fast_mode = false` into a denial of both modes, while retaining higher-priority enterprise overrides.
## Testing
Add coverage for all four Fast/Ultra Fast policy combinations in requirements responses and request routing, agent prewarm inheritance, TUI command visibility and saved selections, and legacy cloud denial normalization and override precedence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 147e08524c4b228ea9d46b25a9f8aa64c359e169
## Why
Environment changes and overlapping catalog refreshes can cause a step to use another step's selected plugins or executor skills. Model context and skill tools need to agree on the capabilities captured for that step.
## What changed
- Resolve selected plugins from each step's ready capability roots, honoring disabled plugins, and retain the snapshot with the step's extension data.
- Use that snapshot for skill attribution in World State and the first step's active-plugin telemetry.
- Return executor skill catalogs directly from refresh so overlapping requests render their own results while retaining thread caches.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for overlapping executor catalogs and environment changes during step preparation. Verify that `skills.list` retains the original step's skills, the next step advertises the new skills, and disabled executor and plugin skills remain absent from model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 37d3cbe8c7e062fd06290aa985ada4d3b3462d43
## Why
`codex exec` and the TypeScript SDK need a way to request a Cyber access program for an individual turn. Resuming with an API key can also leave compaction using a saved program that the current credentials cannot access.
## What changed
- Add `--cyber-access-program` with `standard`, `daybreak_blue`, and `daybreak_red`, and expose the equivalent `cyberAccessProgram` turn option and `CyberAccessProgram` type in the TypeScript SDK.
- Apply explicit selections to new, resumed, and prompted fork turns. Override automatic Daybreak selection for that turn without changing the saved choice. Reject the flag for review and forks without a prompt.
- Filter Cyber programs by the built-in OpenAI provider when starting turns and restoring previous-turn settings for compaction.
- Allow previous-model compaction fallback with API-key authentication, comparing both model and program so a program change can trigger a retry with the current pair even when the model is unchanged.
## Testing
Add CLI help, argument parsing, exec, and SDK coverage for per-turn selection and unsupported commands. Extend core tests for API-key compaction retries, denied explicit selections, custom-provider filtering, remote compaction, and WebSocket response reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: 586f25b621924f3bc509c9a39b39fe2020ff9cd2
## Why
Executor skill reads need to use the environments and permissions captured for the current step, including newly approved grants. Cached continuation pages must remain bound to the filesystem and permissions that produced them.
## What changed
- Supply borrowed `EnvironmentAccess` to turn-input contributors and extension tools, with session and originating-turn grants already applied.
- Require executor skill reads to use filesystem access from an environment available to the callback, and replace separate optional read contexts with `SkillReadContext`.
- Bind skill pagination snapshots to `EnvironmentAccessKey`, which identifies the source filesystem and callback permissions.
- Route image-generation filesystem operations through the same accessor.
## Testing
Extend skill-read integration coverage to verify that a denied reference becomes readable after a turn-scoped grant is captured by the next model step. Update Windows coverage to verify that restricted reads fail when the executor cannot enforce a sandbox, and add a test requiring turn environment selection before exposing capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 825b49302319965835d61c77fc5bcdb951e10543
## Why
Background code-mode cells can continue running after a new turn starts. Looking up grants and strict review requirements through the active turn can make those cells lose their approved access or use another turn's permissions.
## What changed
- Keep turn-scoped grants and strict review state in `TurnContext`, retained by captured steps and background cells.
- Record permission responses against the requesting turn, including requests made after a later turn starts.
- Share live session-scoped grants across turns while keeping turn-scoped grants isolated.
- Use the originating turn's permissions and review requirements for tool execution, patches, MCP calls, file uploads, and terminal input.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for background cells retaining grants across turn changes, turn versus session scope, permission requests after the next turn starts, and strict review enabled while `write_stdin` is queued.
GitOrigin-RevId: 641502fbfd43553c2c42424d4aaa53ae8020c850
## What changed
Add `turn_extension_init` to thread startup and settings, and expose `WithTurnExtensionData` for turn input, recovery, and settings requests. Accept or reject data updates together with the request that supplies them.
Each new turn captures the configured data, including automatically started turns. Accepted steering updates the data for future turns while preserving the running turn's capture. Plain requests preserve the configured data; an empty initializer clears it. The data is not persisted and must be supplied again on cold resume.
Expose `current_turn_extension_data` to retrieve typed data only when the requested turn is still running and has not been cancelled.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering initial capture, accepted and rejected steering, inheritance by an automatic turn, clearing future data without changing the active capture, and rejection of lookups for an earlier turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd81eda3e32c7b62d783c772221858f4c0e68264
## Why
Guardian does not consume skills, but host skill discovery can block its startup or turn creation when the primary executor is offline.
## What changed
Skip plugin and skill warmup during Guardian session initialization, and use an empty host skills snapshot when building Guardian turn contexts.
## Testing
Add a regression test that discovers skills for the parent session, disconnects its primary executor, and verifies that Guardian still reviews and denies a network permission request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3c12129721c82cb78a3fa618d6b05faea631966a
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::prewarm_with_history()` to prepare a WebSocket response with existing conversation history and executed-tool metadata using `generate: false`. The next turn can reuse the prepared response when its prompt extends that history and request settings match.
- Keep startup prewarming and `prewarm()` on the existing empty-input path, and skip preparation when the cached WebSocket is ready.
- Label prewarm telemetry by input mode and WebSocket continuation metrics with `after_prewarm`.
- Rename `persistent_mode_enabled` to `persistent_execution_enabled` without changing its behavior.
## Testing
Extend WebSocket coverage to check history preservation during reconnect prewarming, reuse of the prepared response on the next turn, and omission of `previous_response_id` for a non-prefix prompt.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7731541b11b2e6668027a47f37f696213268c66
## What changed
Add `Features::persistent_mode_enabled` and use it for persistent instructions and current-time reminder defaults. Enablement still requires `ReasoningEffort::Persistent`.
Change `PersistentModeState::new` to accept an explicit enablement boolean, separating instruction rendering from reasoning-effort selection.
## Testing
Update persistent-context tests to use boolean enablement while preserving coverage for instruction replacement, removal, deduplication, and retained history without a snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: f412b90d783438d1526956a56c11b9e66385ee0e
## Why
Legacy shell snapshots could retain exports excluded by `shell_environment_policy` and restore captured values over explicit overrides when replayed.
## What changed
- Build snapshots with the resolved environment's policy and omit filtered exports and original values for variables overridden by `set`.
- Skip eager snapshot creation when configuration is unavailable, and reject snapshots whose policy differs from the current turn's policy.
## Testing
Add a regression test covering default and custom exclusions, `include_only`, preservation of multiline values, and `set` overrides that survive snapshot replay. Verify excluded and overridden captured values are absent from the snapshot file.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4b785130f6c5a4d268ab86fd36ab9d77d8c4a3b9
## Why
Explicit user goal edits can restrict permitted actions, such as “Inspect only; do not publish.” Guardian needs these edits as authorization evidence even though they are recorded as contextual messages.
## What changed
- Add `UserGoalUpdate` and a recording API for objective, status, and clear updates without scheduling a model response.
- Use host annotations to retain goal updates in Guardian review history and root authorization evidence, and invalidate cached authorization when updates are recorded.
- Omit oversized objectives whole and mark their evidence incomplete so truncation cannot turn a restriction into a grant.
- Keep item injection from updating shared model and multi-agent metadata.
## Testing
Extend authorization, retained-context, and review snapshot tests to cover goal-edit cache invalidation, root goal visibility from child threads, and restrictive goals reaching Guardian alongside managed policies.
GitOrigin-RevId: 17b99d9fa8c1620840d6f408d79b405a78a778f8
## Why
A realtime call can start or end while a text turn is still running. Using call activity captured at turn creation leaves subsequent model requests with stale realtime context.
## What changed
Capture realtime activity and mode instructions together in a `StepContext` snapshot for each model request. Use that snapshot to build realtime instructions and persist `realtime_active` in the request's turn context. Store the conversation and mode instructions under one mutex so they are installed together when a call starts.
## Testing
Extend the realtime handoff integration test to start and close a call during one text turn, verifying that successive requests include the appropriate start and end instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4c5c2b47b7c0c06ae28167013218dc2e3cd72c42
## What changed
- Add `environments` to `TurnSettingsUpdate` to replace the selection for subsequent steps without changing future turns.
- Capture model settings and environments together so combined updates apply or reject atomically, while existing steps retain their captured selection.
- Validate environment IDs, working directories, configuration ownership, and permission requirements against the running turn's selections.
- Preserve executor startup behavior when switching environments and use the step's local working directory for tool hooks.
## Testing
Add coverage for workspace switching and restoration on the next turn, atomic model and environment updates, permission validation, executor connection waits, and replacement of pending environment selections.
GitOrigin-RevId: 02b5c57a78fd594b2aed84fc09d9e99eb97be28c
## Why
When a selected environment is unavailable, permission fallbacks can use the turn's initial environment and workspace roots. Daemon recovery can also miss a local environment that finishes starting after the turn begins.
## What changed
- Resolve fallback permissions from thread defaults using the captured selection's workspace root URIs, including when setup is starting or has failed.
- Apply this resolution to Guardian reviews, permission instructions, and sandbox context selection.
- Capture daemon recovery from the latest step inputs and refresh environment readiness before checking recovery eligibility.
## Testing
Add regression tests for Guardian resolving project-root restrictions against an unavailable captured environment's workspace and for daemon recovery including a local environment that finishes starting during a turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: c76d83d786fdc9c444b78ecbc335b02a20805c58
## Why
Background processes can outlive their launching turn. Their approval reviews need the originating environment's filesystem restrictions, even when the active turn uses a different environment. Remote restrictions must also be resolved using executor paths rather than the local filesystem.
## What changed
- Capture settings and environment selections together in `StepInputs`. Preserve the captured selection during active model updates while allowing environment startup to finish.
- Carry environment IDs into Guardian network and `execve` requests, and use the owning process's environment with current review settings. Refresh environment readiness for network requests that fall back to the active turn.
- Resolve remote denied paths and globs using the executor's policy context. Decline automatic approval when the request's environment is unavailable or an explicitly denied temporary directory cannot be resolved.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for active model updates retaining their environment while the next turn adopts a new selection, background approvals using their owning environment, newly ready network environments, and remote denied paths and globs, including Windows paths and missing temporary-directory metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: b620d4b030c597a4f430fe0500864fa5469db3d4
## What changed
- Remove the private-desktop opt-out from elevated and unelevated Windows sandbox launches.
- Remove `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` and its managed requirement and API fields. Warn users to remove the obsolete setting.
- Require a private desktop name when launching through the Windows sandbox wrapper and command runner.
## Testing
Add coverage for the obsolete-setting migration warning and update wrapper tests to verify a live private desktop is passed and a missing desktop name is rejected.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7135f8d211aac8d812180691c2c1e433d77cde4
## Why
Recording response items in an initialized thread builds a turn context without starting a turn. Running host skill discovery for that context is unnecessary.
## What changed
Use a dedicated context build mode that skips host skill discovery for history injection. Preserve full discovery for initial context creation, startup prewarming, and execution. If compaction clears the reference context during preparation, rebuild a full context before initializing history.
## Testing
Add a regression test verifying that initial injection discovers skills, subsequent injection records items without discovery, and a real turn still discovers skills and sends the selected skill body and both injected messages to the model.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4a64e04eb0f21698f9b47160bfcfe5b6d6a68554
## Why
Credential changes can leave the in-memory model catalog associated with a different identity, causing subsequent turns to use bundled model metadata instead of the active credentials' catalog.
## What changed
- Refresh mismatched catalogs before user turns and mailbox-triggered wakeups, resolving lazy command credentials before comparing identities.
- Reuse a matching cache or fetch models with a five-second deadline covering auth resolution and cache access. Preserve fallback behavior on failure or timeout; static catalogs need no refresh.
- Recheck the active turn after discovery so an interrupted wakeup does not continue starting a turn.
## Testing
Add coverage for user and mailbox turns after credential rotation, including switching back after another identity replaces the shared catalog. Verify refreshed context windows and request behavior, fallback on discovery failure or auth timeout, and command-auth token rotation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7e4ad25f1c4476e2023225731924af28c1181767
## What changed
Add `active_plugin_ids_at_turn_start` to turn analytics, combining active host plugins with selected plugin packages. Prefer remote plugin IDs when present and otherwise use validated package IDs. Sort and deduplicate the inventory.
Report `null` for unknown inventories, invalid IDs, IDs longer than 128 bytes, or inventories exceeding 512 distinct IDs; preserve `[]` for an observed empty inventory. Keep the first received inventory even when later resolved configuration updates arrive.
## Testing
Add coverage for ID selection and validation, deduplication, size limits, serialization, and preservation of the first inventory. Extend app-server tests to check inventories after plugin reconciliation and with selected plugins, including turns without explicit plugin mentions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8a0de912e2570a902cd05bfc918dc8e6ff8b8527
## Why
Updating environment selections while a turn is running must not redirect its tools or prevent its pending environment setup from completing.
## What changed
- Store future environment selections separately from active environments, and activate them when preparing new work with no task running.
- Keep turn contexts and MCP workspace roots tied to the active environment snapshot. Report saved selections through thread settings and `environment_selections()`.
- Route environment configuration and failure callbacks to matching active or future selections so each can finish setup independently.
- Stop the running task before manual compaction adopts the saved environments.
## Testing
Add regression tests that preserve a running task's working directory and workspace roots, then adopt the saved selection for the next task. Add remote environment coverage showing that future setup can complete while the active turn waits, with each turn receiving its own capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 09a6b90131d2ab2441ce2fe9b0368a3668889f31
## What changed
- Accept `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` and preserve the selected backend through environment configuration, command execution, patch writes, and sandbox metadata.
- Treat MXC as enabled in the TUI and report Windows sandbox readiness as `ready`, avoiding legacy setup prompts.
- Keep `allowed_sandbox_implementations` scoped to the legacy elevated and unelevated backends without restricting MXC.
- Default `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to `false` for MXC while retaining `true` for legacy sandboxes.
## Testing
Add coverage for MXC configuration precedence, legacy requirement handling, sandbox selection, and TUI state. Add a Wine integration test that verifies command and patch routing fails when native MXC is unavailable and reports `windows_mxc` in turn metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: e2162447d0750f60753864c92a20e02a7f297bca
## Why
Removing the selected working directory can prevent filesystem sandbox helpers from launching, even when the requested absolute paths remain accessible. Permission rules must stay anchored to the selected directory while those operations continue.
## What changed
- Require a policy `cwd` in `FileSystemSandboxContext` and launch filesystem helpers from the filesystem root while preserving the policy directory and workspace roots.
- Carry explicit `policyContext` in filesystem RPCs, preserving legacy wire fields and resolving omitted directories from older clients at executor ingress.
- Keep permission paths as executor file URIs and validate host compatibility where they are enforced.
- Bind Windows relative denial globs to the policy directory before changing the helper's launch directory, preserving home-relative patterns.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for `apply_patch` after working-directory removal, legacy RPC directory fallbacks, cross-platform permission URI transport, and Windows relative read denials. The patch regression verifies that an allowed file is updated while an explicitly denied file remains unreadable and unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: b0f4db722b27cb72ec129fc297c85732afac11f7
## Why
Executor profile roots can use path conventions that are not native to the current host. Converting them to host paths during configuration or turn reconstruction can reject or drop those roots, while case-insensitive comparison can hide Windows path spelling changes.
## What changed
- Store profile roots as URI-backed `ProfileWorkspaceRoot` values throughout permission snapshots and thread settings, preserving spelling in equality and deduplication.
- Keep effective workspace roots as `PathUri` values for permission materialization and status summaries. Convert Windows sandbox root hints to native paths only at native Windows sandbox boundaries, rejecting incompatible roots.
- Omit the legacy rollout `workspace_roots` field when profile roots cannot be represented as host paths, retaining the compiled permission profile.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for Windows and UNC root spelling changes, settings restoration and turn recording with foreign roots, executor-root status display, and backend-specific Windows root conversion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 903c068fd74959bdd10e7cb1141aa42b953a59a4
## What changed
- Accept and ignore `features.personality` in user configuration, profiles, and managed requirements.
- Remove feature gating from `personality = "none"`, which strips the literal `# Personality` section when preparing model catalog instructions. Preserve explicit base instructions and existing thread instructions.
- Document deprecated personality fields in configuration, app-server schemas, and the Python SDK: `friendly` and `pragmatic` no longer select a style, and `supportsPersonality` is always `false`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for ignored legacy flag values and managed requirements, personality opt-out behavior with the flag absent or set to either value, role overrides, and preservation of explicit base instructions, including empty strings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4e12c66b42bfc59d6f151a5b3c28fadc6654ae99
## Why
MXC is a sandbox implementation, not a restricted-token sandbox level. Executor requests need to represent that choice separately from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
## What changed
- Introduce `WindowsSandboxSelection` for executor sandbox contexts and remove `Mxc` from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
- Preserve the `windowsSandboxLevel` wire field and its serialized values for compatibility.
- Share sandbox selection between executor process launches and filesystem helpers, and use the new selection in capability discovery and skill reads.
- Disable Windows sandbox selection for executor paths that do not use Windows path conventions.
## Testing
Extend coverage for MXC wire serialization, Windows skill-read sandbox checks, and capability discovery with distinct permissions. Exercise remote filesystem write restrictions with both restricted-token and MXC sandboxes, including rejection when native MXC is unavailable.
GitOrigin-RevId: 266211377bcb138a0dc75861e9ff2225fa37a53d
## Why
Guardian reviews must stop when their parent shuts down or their history is reset. Shutdown must also finish reviewer cleanup before closing the parent's persistent history, including when a review is waiting to retry after a rate limit.
## What changed
- Let the Guardian extension own reviewer startup, prewarming, and shutdown through `ThreadManager`, tracking and joining outstanding work during teardown.
- Cancel reviews on history reset or parent shutdown and reject decisions returned after cancellation, including cached extension decisions.
- Keep background prewarm previews from overwriting the active turn's model metadata.
## Testing
Extend regression coverage to verify reviewer cleanup after parent shutdown, prompt shutdown during a 60-second Guardian retry with the network request denied, and preservation of active model review requirements during prewarming.
GitOrigin-RevId: 05efc369b9a1642a10365eac8a09da77f3f6e28c
## What changed
- Apply `disabled_plugin_ids` to plugin skills, recommendations, hooks, and MCP servers without modifying shared plugin state.
- Activate selection changes when the next task starts, keeping pending settings from changing the active runtime.
- Hide app tools contributed only by disabled plugins from model tool catalogs and search. Preserve connectors shared with enabled plugins and existing direct Apps RPC behavior.
- Include plugin identity in MCP approval keys and use that identity when persisting plugin tool approvals.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for disabling and re-enabling plugin skills and tools, deferred activation of settings, shared connector ownership, selected plugin servers, executor hooks, and plugin-specific approval keys and persistence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1153ff6aa7ab6953d50e838da05203904ecd2956
## What changed
- Add `disabled_plugin_ids` to thread startup options, settings overrides, snapshots, and persisted turn contexts. Omitted overrides preserve the current list; an empty list clears it.
- Restore the selection on resume and capture it before truncating history for a fork. Prefer the owning thread's latest settings snapshot, falling back only to the latest turn context so stale history cannot resurrect an older selection.
- Freeze the selection at turn admission and retain compatibility with histories that lack the new fields.
## Testing
Add coverage for owned settings, explicit clears, latest-turn fallback, and legacy snapshots. Extend settings tests to cover plugin selection during runtime restoration and compaction, and verify initial turn persistence without extra settings checkpoints in both history modes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 75ffbff5763cd93cc5ac69d73b08b237f59bc009
## Why
History recording used the model captured at turn start, so switching models within a turn could apply stale image preparation and tool-output truncation rules.
## What changed
Pass explicit model metadata through conversation recording. Record model responses and tool results using their originating step's settings, and capture the current model for pending input recorded during startup interruption or task completion.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for tool results across a model switch, explicit model selection for plain and annotated history, and image input retained during interruption and completion. Extend model-switching tests to verify that prepared media and item identity survive switching back to a multimodal model in live, resumed, and forked threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5bc750c30c334acb9b802cb80fdea01daffa84a1
## Why
Model changes during an active turn could leave context using the turn's initial model and settings, even after requests switched to the new model.
## What changed
- Build model, personality, approval, collaboration, app, plugin, and multi-agent instructions from captured step settings.
- Resolve multi-agent policy from the step's effective reasoning effort.
- Use the captured step's context window for full-context metadata and retain that step when rebuilding initial context for compaction.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for model switches updating context without duplicating updates, delegation policy following selected or model-default reasoning effort, and compaction preserving retained context after a model change.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3615c7a3f13f15fdcce9ad13d23311340e0aea88
## Why
Credential-brokered commands rebuild shell snapshots on every invocation. Snapshot capture failures can also include credential-bearing startup output, and descendants holding output pipes need cleanup even after the shell exits.
## What changed
- Cache successful protected snapshots per environment, keyed by working directory, shell, login mode, and sandbox configuration. Rebuild missing or stale snapshots while keeping concurrent captures independently cancellable.
- Invalidate snapshots when shell settings or credential broker configuration change, and retry capture once if broker configuration changes during startup.
- Restore credentials and associated provider context while respecting environment policy filters and explicit overrides.
- Keep full-buffer capture subject to timeout and cancellation through output draining, clean up descendants on capture expiration or drain failure, and omit startup output from snapshot errors.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for snapshot reuse, invalidation, recovery after storage failure, concurrent cancellation, credential-safe errors, and descendant cleanup. Verify that successful background startup and output beyond the shell output cap remain supported.

## What changed
- Update the status heading from the latest usable reasoning line and retain it through tool activity and empty reasoning items. Keep completed reasoning in the expanded transcript only.
- Restore active reasoning after resume, thread switches, and session refreshes, including when earlier events have left the replay buffer.
- Default new embedded TUI threads to `model_reasoning_summary = "detailed"`, honoring explicit summary settings. Keep `concurrent_reasoning_summaries` opt-in and disable it when summaries are `none`.
- Persist the request's captured reasoning summary setting in context updates and local and remote compaction checkpoints.
- Animate status text with a smooth, grapheme-aware shimmer that respects terminal colors and reduced motion.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for reasoning status updates, transcript visibility, resume and buffered replay, outbound summary configuration, and summary settings across all three compaction modes. Add shimmer snapshots and checks for smooth brightness changes and Unicode grapheme preservation.

## Why
Shell startup files can introduce credentials or overwrite brokered dummy values. Snapshot capture and replay need to respect the command's sandbox and environment policy without persisting real credentials.
## What changed
- Capture and validate brokered snapshots per command using its requested shell, working directory, login mode, sandbox, and environment policy.
- Discover shell-initialized credentials and prepare snapshot exports for brokered replay. Preserve shell functions and aliases while preventing startup files from overwriting dummy credentials during replay.
- Rebuild snapshots as credential broker state changes and retain each command's snapshot for the lifetime of its process.
- Reject brokered POSIX shell execution when a protected snapshot cannot be created, and reject brokerage with `shell_zsh_fork`. Restore real credentials and remove brokerage markers for unsupported PowerShell and Cmd execution; escalated commands bypass protected snapshots.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for credential discovery and redaction, environment filtering, readonly exports, shell function and heredoc replay, command working directories and login modes, sandbox enforcement, and missing or disabled snapshots.

## What changed
Capture the ID from `response.created` and pass it as `parent_response_id` in Guardian review and classifier request metadata. Clear the current response ID before sampling retries so tool reviews cannot inherit a failed response's ID.
Request Guardian credits with `guardian_credits_requested` on eligible parent requests. Remove the ticket protocol, transport attachment, and ticket-specific body redaction. Keep ordinary app-server client `parent_response_id` values inside `x-codex-turn-metadata` rather than promoting them to Guardian request metadata.
## Testing
Update coverage for HTTP fallback, WebSocket review reuse, missing response IDs, classifier transport retries, and code-mode yield/resume attribution. Extend app-server tests to verify client metadata placement over HTTP and WebSocket.

## Why
Plugin updates made by another process do not notify a loaded session's hook runtime, leaving it with stale hooks.
## What changed
Compare the current plugin hook sources and load warnings with those retained by the hook runtime during turn construction. Refresh hooks when either differs so existing sessions pick up external plugin updates.
## Testing
Add an app-server regression test that updates the shared plugin store without notifying the server and verifies that successive turns in the same thread run the installed hooks across an upgrade and a rollback.

## What changed
- Request and parse server-issued Guardian tickets for eligible Codex backend responses.
- Scope each ticket to the response that produced a Guardian review or classifier request, including HTTP and WebSocket retries, without adding it to model-visible or persisted context.
- Validate ticket shape, reserve its metadata keys, redact it from debug and request-body logging, and attach it only at the Guardian transport boundary.
## Testing
- Cover ticket parsing, endpoint and authentication routing, retry scoping, classifier retries, and redaction for compressed and uncompressed requests.

## Why
Git root discovery is optional metadata work, but filesystem probes can block. They should not exhaust Tokio's blocking pool, delay runtime shutdown, or prevent later turns from observing repository changes.
## What changed
- Add a shared `GitRootDiscovery` service that coalesces concurrent lookups for the same working directory and limits probes across directories.
- Run probes on detached threads, retain in-flight work across caller cancellation, and discard completed results instead of caching them.
- Use the service for turn and memory metadata enrichment, abort unused turn enrichment when its state is dropped, and limit memory metadata waits to one second.
## Testing
Add coverage for probe sharing, capacity limits, cancellation, fresh discovery, runtime shutdown, memory timeouts, and repositories restored after startup prewarming.

## Why
Resumed threads need to continue per-turn and per-thread token totals without scanning arbitrarily far beyond the latest compaction checkpoint.
## What changed
- Add durable `TokenUsageRecord` rollout items with response, turn, thread, session, and root-turn attribution.
- Restore accumulated usage on resume and snapshot the latest record plus the compaction response ID in compaction checkpoints.
- Preserve root-turn lineage in persisted turn context, while ensuring forked child threads start with their own usage totals.
## Testing
- Cover usage accumulation across multiple responses and resumed turns.
- Cover local and remote compaction checkpoints, invalid remote compaction output, rollout reconstruction, and fork isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: ef9e0c4a9102a08a2c382be4cdac68c84353c90a
## What changed
- Add the optional `platformOs` field to exec-server environment metadata, with
local exec servers reporting `std::env::consts::OS` and legacy servers
remaining compatible when the field is absent.
- Preserve the reported OS in each selected turn environment, including the
local environment.
## Testing
- Extend protocol serialization and environment-selection coverage for remote
and local platform values.

## What changed
- Report the executor's user home in environment metadata.
- Cache the reported home on selected turn environments and include it in
filesystem sandbox contexts, including `apply_patch` requests.
- Preserve compatibility with executors that do not report a home directory.
## Testing
- Cover local, remote, inherited, serialized, and `apply_patch` sandbox
contexts.

## Why
Planning tools for a candidate model must not change the selected model or its
Responses Lite tool inventory. Otherwise, preparing a fallback can overwrite
metadata before the current model's request is sent.
## What changed
- Build tool registries and visible specs from an explicit `ModelInfo`.
- Store the finalized tool mode, code-mode names, namespace inventory, and
terminal and child-management capabilities on `ToolRouter`.
- Publish namespace inventory only after selecting the step's router, and use
that router's mode when dispatching and recording tool calls.
## Testing
Added coverage for candidate-model isolation, fallback compaction metadata,
code-mode worker selection, normalized tool names, and router capabilities.

## Why
Model settings can change between steps in the same turn. Token-budget defaults,
context-window limits, and model-visible guidance need to stay aligned with the
model captured for each step.
## What changed
- Preserve the turn's original token-budget preferences and resolve model-owned
defaults when each `StepContext` is created.
- Use the step's model to determine context-window availability and token-budget
guidance, while keeping explicit user settings unchanged.
- Emit one-time replacement or removal notices when context-window guidance
changes, including compatibility with previously persisted world-state
snapshots.
- Add `ModelInfo::usable_context_window()` to distinguish reserved-headroom
capacity from the resolved context window and auto-compaction limit.
## Testing
- Cover mid-turn model switches with model defaults, explicit settings, config
reloads, missing context windows, and missing destination guidance.
- Cover unchanged, replaced, removed, blank, and legacy guidance transitions.
