## Why
Failure to open the diagnostic logs database should not disable thread storage or database-only history listing. Thread deletion must still preserve saved conversations when diagnostic log cleanup cannot complete.
## What changed
- Allow state initialization to continue after non-corruption errors opening the logs database, while preserving corruption recovery.
- Report the original diagnostic database error after tracing is installed in the TUI and app server, and return it from log operations.
- Reject thread deletion before destructive cleanup when diagnostic storage failed to initialize.
- Continue periodic cleanup of legacy logs when the current logs database is unavailable.
## Testing
Extend coverage for unavailable log directories, database-only history listing, startup diagnostics, deletion preserving saved conversations, corrupt log headers, and periodic legacy log cleanup during a diagnostic storage outage.

## Why
Remote-control enrollment, refresh, and client-management requests used ChatGPT bearer authentication without resolving the configured runtime authentication mode.
## What changed
Pass the app server's runtime auth slot and mode into remote control, and resolve authentication and HTTP client policy for each request. Supported OpenAI destinations use fresh runtime assertions in `dual_header` or `assertion_only` mode, while custom destinations retain bearer authentication.
Wait for runtime authentication to initialize and reject unsupported OpenAI origins or mismatched registered accounts. Pairing continues to use its server token.
## Testing
Add transport and app-server integration coverage for both runtime auth modes, fresh assertions, shared runtime registration, network policy enforcement, account validation, redirect credential handling, and pairing token preservation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5401cf565630ab84eaba71ff6040ac27f7b92461
## What changed
- Share the harness runtime identity with analytics delivery and turn-cost queries, and resolve request authentication together with its account-bound transport policy.
- Add runtime authentication to ChatGPT request helpers and `codex cloud`, including environment discovery. Resolve environment credentials for each request and honor CLI configuration overrides when loading cloud authentication.
- Preserve custom-backend authentication, validate runtime destinations, and keep cloud requests from following redirects.
- Forward only organization and project selectors from model-provider headers to API-key analytics requests.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for runtime request signing, credential refresh, account and resource selection, redirect credential handling, custom destinations, and cloud credential-store overrides.
GitOrigin-RevId: 75f33961ee6482881e9ff9817e99d977f31b65b8
## Why
Core tests depend on `codex-app-server` to install and clean up agent message boards. A dedicated host crate lets them use this functionality without depending on the app server.
## What changed
Move the existing host implementation into `codex-agent-message-board-host` and update core test helpers and scenarios to use it directly. Keep the installation and deletion functions re-exported from `codex-app-server`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9ed62d50a5f31c70550d70ba3c583399e869168a
## What changed
Move permanent agent message board deletion from `codex-core` into the app server's thread-store cleanup callback. Keep board cleanup active when the board feature is disabled, and run it before optional Guardian evidence-board cleanup.
Remove the message board extension dependency from `codex-core` and retain `codex-message-board` only as a development dependency. Update the core test harness to install the app server's cleanup callback.
GitOrigin-RevId: 61813bbdcd8b57073b8c249e1f771e3fb0ea061e
## What changed
Move the board host adapter and `install_agent_message_board` from `codex-core` to `codex-app-server`, using public core runtime interfaces. Update extension registration, test callers, dependencies, and installation documentation to use the new location.
Format `CHANNEL_POST` notification payloads in the host adapter and retain recognition of legacy board notices in core. Expose `MULTI_AGENT_V2_NAMESPACE_DESCRIPTION` for host extensions to share with native tools.
GitOrigin-RevId: 679b5751de102bff80e6b9d4b0728a84fbdedd85
## Why
SQLx's SQLite migration lock is a no-op, allowing concurrent database openers to race between schema version checks and migration changes.
## What changed
Run schema checks and migrations in one transaction, retrying SQLite busy errors from a fresh snapshot. Databases with a current schema need only a read lock, including on NFS. Include the error cause chain when the app server reports SQLite initialization failures.
## Testing
Add regression tests for eight concurrent database openers applying each migration once and for reopening a current schema while another connection holds a writer reservation with NFS settings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 38004d58a5c637ac1b2be53d07fd9a4c8efec7ab
## What changed
- Allow `requirements.toml` to manage OpenTelemetry logging flags, tool-result byte limits, environment, and log, trace, and metrics exporters.
- Apply higher-priority managed values over user configuration, replacing exporters atomically and warning when configured values conflict. Preserve unmanaged settings, including `span_attributes` and `tracestate`.
- Expose managed `otel` settings through `configRequirements/read`, apply them in `config/read` without ordinary field origins, and reject configuration writes that overlap managed fields.
- Distinguish omitted tool-result limits from explicit values while preserving the runtime default.
## Testing
Add coverage for requirement precedence, relative TLS paths, override warnings, managed write protection, effective configuration reads, and exporter serialization through the app-server API.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6a3343563bd3acb53a366ea6723684e3d0a4a01d
## What changed
- Rename ChatGPT-specific bundle loaders to `chatgpt_config_bundle_loader*` and use managed-config terminology for shared loader plumbing.
- Pass `Config` directly when updating the app-server's managed configuration loader.
- Share configuration loading, logging setup, and result handling between browser and device-code login.
- Expose the CLI cloud-config helpers and `provider_uses_first_party_auth_path` through their library APIs.
## Testing
Extend CLI login coverage to verify that `forced_login_method="api"` rejects both `login` and `login --device-auth` while preserving saved API-key credentials.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9e8fa6110dc80882ba365e550b48ac77da604940
## Why
Automatic marketplace update failures were only logged, leaving users without a visible startup warning.
## What changed
Send marketplace update errors and task startup failures through app-server warning notifications. Queue background warnings until a client initializes in both standalone and in-process servers, and centralize startup configuration warning delivery.
## Testing
Add a TUI integration test and snapshot covering two marketplace name mismatch failures, the warning count, and navigation between their details with `F2` and the arrow keys.
GitOrigin-RevId: af55a5555affd9d89ac15a546163daeaafd3b3e8
## What changed
Move inline crate tests into `lib_tests.rs` and nest related test suites under each crate's `tests` module. Update imports, subprocess test filters, logging targets, and snapshot names to match the new module paths.
Keep test helpers accessible where needed and preserve the schema writer's exact test name used by release tooling.
GitOrigin-RevId: de55eaae66dce4941abb33dd0b2f170093daa8f9
## Why
Managed stderr logs previously retained a tail only before a new launch, allowing logs to grow during a long-running process. Direct stderr writes could also block lifecycle operations on disk I/O.
## What changed
- Route managed app-server and updater logs through a shared nonblocking worker with a bounded queue. Drop records when the queue is full or a record exceeds 16 KiB, and avoid waiting for the worker at shutdown.
- Prune live logs when they exceed 1 MiB, preserving the latest 256 KiB in `.log.previous` before truncating the current file. Keep inherited stderr handles usable after truncation.
- Pause predecessor pruning during Windows updater handoff and resume it after a failed handoff only when ownership has been restored.
- Keep ordinary stderr output when managed logging has not been initialized.
## Testing
Add regression tests for stalled workers and queue overflow, tail retention, inherited append and nonappend handles, and pruning exclusion during updater handoff.
GitOrigin-RevId: b6301962b1180fa6cdb231a56edce2429dc20b54
## What changed
- Add `--cloud-skills-snapshot PATH` to load a cloud skill catalog and resource contents from JSON once at app-server startup, without contacting a live skill service.
- Expose snapshot skills through the native `skills.list` and `skills.read` interface, preserving aliases and prompt visibility. Reads remain available after the snapshot file is removed.
- Validate package boundaries, required resources, duplicate packages, and size limits; fail startup for missing or invalid snapshots.
- Keep frozen cloud catalog and read caches independent of live MCP resource changes.
## Testing
Add provider, cache, app-server, and core scenario tests covering validation, exact resource contents, authority boundaries, startup failures, and listing and reading frozen skills alongside a named executor.
GitOrigin-RevId: d438a5d678121db3e17515fc5edcd00d4e20b900
## What changed
Add `thread/sample` to collect one model response on an ephemeral fork that inherits a loaded thread's context and configuration. Return the source turn ID, response ID, assistant text, and available token usage without modifying the source conversation.
Require an idle, persistent root thread and an `expectedTurnId` matching its latest completed turn. Reject results if the source history changes during sampling. Keep the parent responsive while sampling, hide sample forks from `thread/loaded/list`, and reclaim them after completion or timeout.
Intercept responses before tool execution or Stop hooks can run, returning null text for tool calls or responses without text. Apply optional reasoning-effort updates only when the provider and model support cache-preserving updates.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for inherited context and reasoning effort, source preservation, tool and Stop hook suppression, invalid requests, stream errors, parent responsiveness, and timeout cleanup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 08f4867e53ec7f6c8f4428d5542eeea4e6dadd0b
## What changed
Add `codex app-server --print-startup-config` to validate local and cloud-backed configuration and emit the app-server version and configuration requirements as JSON without initializing environments, thread storage, or plugins. Configuration failures produce structured JSON errors and a nonzero exit status.
Support `--startup-sign-out` to remove account credentials and reload signed-out requirements, including recovery when cloud policy is unavailable. Reject sign-out for host-owned external authentication. Accept `--startup-client-info` to identify configuration and authentication requests.
Reuse configuration loading and account cleanup logic between startup discovery and the running app server.
## Testing
Add CLI integration coverage for configuration validation, project login restrictions, managed cloud requirements and failures, sign-out recovery, external authentication protection, and independence from locked or invalid history databases.
GitOrigin-RevId: 636ccb095b684b6136cf9e408f3f8613cb776e16
## What changed
Add `features.app_server_websocket_compression`, disabled by default. TCP WebSocket and Unix-domain socket listeners now negotiate zstd compression only when the feature is enabled and the client offers the supported protocol. Otherwise, connections use plain text messages.
Include the feature in the configuration schema and allow its override during TUI daemon startup.
## Testing
Extend transport tests to cover enabled and disabled compression with supported, unsupported, and absent client offers on both transports. Add an app-server integration test that verifies startup configuration controls negotiation and the message format used for initialization responses.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6001d65f66f9c48f099b85380c2cad8ffee04de7
## Why
Explicitly selecting the default daemon socket previously classified the TUI connection as remote, changing how local configuration and thread parameters were handled. A socket at that path may also be an SSH forward, so the path alone cannot establish that the daemon is local.
## What changed
- Verify the default daemon endpoint before classifying an explicit connection as local. On Unix, check the expected symlink target and the private socket directory's ownership and permissions, then connect to the protected endpoint directly.
- Preserve local workspace behavior and local thread parameters for verified attachments while keeping directly bound Unix sockets classified as remote.
- Report a missing explicitly requested socket, disable embedded fallback for explicit attachments, and restrict daemon auto-start to implicit connections.
## Testing
Extend tests to cover explicit and implicit local target selection, verified socket resolution, and rejection of a directly bound socket as a local daemon endpoint.
GitOrigin-RevId: ac2226ca1c5f60b26aad9571f945e3325d3bebfa
## Why
The app server retained its startup model provider for catalog requests, so signing in or out could leave `model/list` using stale provider settings or requiring a restart after managed provider requirements changed.
## What changed
- Invalidate the catalog after successful login and logout, then reload the effective configuration on the next model list or background refresh. Rebuild the models manager when the provider or catalog changes, while preserving existing threads' routes.
- Retain the original project context and the TUI's `--oss` provider selection across reloads. Retry configuration loading after falling back to defaults so temporary failures do not pin the fallback catalog.
- Keep provider policy checks for cached catalogs and apply runtime `api_key_model_discovery` toggles to the active catalog manager.
## Testing
Add and extend tests for provider selection and definition changes after login, catalog reloads after logout, OAuth gateway transitions, fallback recovery, project context, and runtime model discovery toggles.
GitOrigin-RevId: bce2e23ff567e1a52eac2b6ad736a6e63ff61e2b
## Why
Durable remote-control RPC changes need to update the managed daemon's launch settings so future launches use the saved preference.
## What changed
- Save non-ephemeral `remoteControl/enable` and `remoteControl/disable` requests to `remoteControlEnabled` in `app-server-daemon/settings.json` for managed daemons.
- Preserve other settings and write updates atomically. Skip persistence when `daemon.lock` is held so concurrent lifecycle operations take precedence without blocking the RPC.
- Leave daemon settings untouched for ephemeral requests and unmanaged servers.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for durable enable and disable, ephemeral requests, and lock contention. Extend the unmanaged-server test to verify that no daemon settings file is created.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2baf261ed62f7c7ad87c9779ffb91c59e923f0f8
## What changed
Add `windows.require_mxc` to managed requirements. When set to `true` on Windows, reject configurations whose effective local sandbox backend is not MXC without changing the selected backend.
Validate after cloud configuration loads and outside startup recovery fallbacks. Apply the check to app-server startup and configuration loads, in-process bootstrap, session creation, sandbox debugging, and runtime configuration refreshes.
## Testing
Extend configuration tests to cover required and optional MXC selection, separately loaded policy requirements, and runtime refresh validation. Expand app-server startup tests to cover local and cloud MXC requirements, cloud preference selection, and failures without default-config recovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16456611bfd9df77e7f959b52515f1885b59ac75
## Why
Global requests can inherit project settings from the app-server's launch directory. This can prevent marketplace removal or expose project-only feature settings, and config reloads can fail if that directory is deleted.
## What changed
- Load configuration without project context when no working directory is supplied, using `CODEX_HOME` to materialize `Config.cwd`.
- Use global configuration for marketplace mutations, marketplace upgrade reloads, and MCP requests without thread context.
- Pass the launch directory explicitly during startup to preserve project-aware startup configuration.
## Testing
Update regression tests to verify that marketplace removal ignores launch-project configuration and leaves the project config intact. Extend feature-list coverage to verify that global requests ignore project features, thread requests retain them, and global requests work after the launch directory is deleted on Unix.
GitOrigin-RevId: b77063a7ea0b09fd0a79cfc4040db9f1d02606b3
## What changed
For managed app-server daemons using Unix sockets, raise the soft
`RLIMIT_NOFILE` limit to 4096 at startup, capped by the inherited hard limit.
Preserve existing higher soft limits and log a warning if the adjustment fails.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ef27370e55cd86a7a62cbc3d47041933b89ac21
## Why
Bubblewrap discovery probes executables before confinement. Excluding only the command's current directory leaves candidates in other writable roots eligible to run outside the sandbox.
## What changed
- Filter canonical `PATH` candidates using the filesystem policy and effective user permissions, including writable ancestors, symlinked roots, and full-disk write access. Preserve protected system installations while rejecting replaceable paths.
- Select the launcher with the command's permissions before the proc-mount preflight, retaining the bundled bubblewrap fallback.
- Use the effective permission profile and policy working directory for startup warning probes.
## Testing
Add unit coverage for writable roots, symlinks, read-only carveouts, replaceable parents, and full-disk policies. Add Linux integration tests showing writable `bwrap` candidates are neither probed nor launched, including when the command runs in a workspace subdirectory or uses managed networking with full-disk write access.
GitOrigin-RevId: 188c9f45e727eaace062f5abb1205dc23fdf3c51
## Why
A database can open successfully while containing corruption that startup previously missed. Detecting it before runtime initialization completes allows recoverable databases to be rebuilt while preserving the damaged files.
## What changed
- Run `PRAGMA quick_check(1)` when opening writable databases, with a 100 ms scan budget. Share attempts across cloned `SqliteConfig` instances by file identity so repeated opens skip validation and replacement files are checked again.
- Back up and rebuild runtime databases that support recovery. Report corruption without rebuilding thread history or other databases without an automatic recovery policy. Treat interrupted or locked checks as incomplete rather than confirmed corruption.
- Collect startup backups across recovery retries and include their locations in the app server warning. Explain that saved conversations can restore the thread list and history, while some database-only metadata may be unavailable.
- Record confirmed corruption in `codex.sqlite.corruption.count`.
## Testing
Add tests for recovery policies, backup preservation, validation caching and concurrency, cancelled and interrupted checks, and locked databases. Add app server coverage for recovery warnings and saved conversation restoration, a TUI warning snapshot, and message board post preservation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43e26328888e0301def642d69bd324acee867566
## Why
Setting `auto_vacuum` on every connection can wait for a writer lock even when the mode is unchanged. Logging every span entry and exit can also block SQLx workers on undrained stderr while they hold a write transaction.
## What changed
- Set incremental vacuum only for empty databases or databases using full auto-vacuum, before enabling WAL. Preserve existing nonempty databases with auto-vacuum disabled.
- Emit span creation and closure events in app-server text and JSON stderr logs, preserving busy/idle timings and explicit events while omitting span entry and exit records.
## Testing
Add regression tests for opening and expanding writable pools while another connection holds a writer lock, and for transaction completion with undrained stderr in both log formats. Verify vacuum modes and retained log diagnostics.
GitOrigin-RevId: 40d4ef32c7efc49f4240b987277ba45551259335
## Why
Private IP destinations always bypassed inherited upstream proxies, preventing their use for private networks reachable through an upstream VPN proxy.
## What changed
- Add `codex exec-server --proxy-private-ips-via-upstream`, also configurable with `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_PROXY_PRIVATE_IPS_VIA_UPSTREAM=true`. The setting defaults to disabled.
- Allow permitted RFC 1918, carrier-grade NAT, and IPv6 unique-local destinations to use an applicable upstream proxy. Loopback and link-local destinations retain direct routing, and destination access policy still applies.
- Keep connections direct when no valid upstream proxy applies or `allow_upstream_proxy=false`. Errors after selecting an upstream proxy do not trigger a direct retry.
- Rename `ExecServerRuntimePaths` to `ExecServerRuntimeOptions` and carry the routing setting from executor startup into the managed network proxy.
## Testing
Add routing coverage for private address ranges, special-use addresses, and public targets with the option enabled and disabled. Verify that HTTP and CONNECT requests still enforce destination allowlists and denylists, and update the CLI help snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: b7c9cc7da0e0f545694a6521b74c9b36b7b92769
## Why
Failed SQLite writes leave diagnostic logs incomplete. Notify users before they close Codex so they can submit logs or run `codex doctor`.
## What changed
- Add a best-effort warning on the first log write failure in standalone and in-process app servers, while continuing to retain failure diagnostics in memory.
- Handle failures that occurred before the in-process warning reporter was attached.
- Tailor the warning's guidance to whether submitting logs is enabled.
## Testing
Add coverage for warning deduplication, both guidance variants, retained diagnostics after the notification sender is dropped, and SQLite flush failures before and after reporter attachment. Extend log upload integration coverage and add a TUI warnings snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: 12a74126d13c3568430e539a180cca47fa931fa9
## Why
SQLite write failures can leave persisted logs incomplete, while log snapshots taken before collection miss errors raised during that collection.
## What changed
- Report SQLite flush failures directly to the in-memory log buffer without re-entering tracing, using an error category and batch size instead of raw error details.
- Track whether the log writer has lost a batch and make app-server diagnostic uploads use the memory buffer when SQLite logs are incomplete.
- Refresh log bytes after flushing and querying SQLite so the same submission includes collection failures, while preserving captured metadata and thread identity.
## Testing
Add regression tests for failure reporting without recursion, subsequent write recovery, metadata preservation, and healthy and failing SQLite collection. Add an upload integration test that captures attachments locally and checks failure diagnostics, memory-buffer fallback, and omission of raw SQLite error details.
GitOrigin-RevId: 51b0c4b69c977d9f4e74f2f245a9fd90fdb13761
## What changed
Move WebSocket authentication arguments, settings, credential loading, and upgrade authorization into a shared crate using `http` types. Update the app server, transport, and CLI to consume it directly, and remove the `AppServer` prefix from the shared types.
Hide token digests and JWT verification secrets from authentication policy `Debug` output.
## Testing
Move the existing argument validation, capability-token authorization, and signed bearer-token verification tests into the new crate.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1dd20043a3f8efbca55af7eda338b62a62e8fd68
## What changed
- Load `application.network` requirements at startup and explicit config/account reloads, applying local policy before authentication and cloud configuration bootstrap.
- Block traffic when policy loading fails, cancel requests that a new policy no longer permits, and reject configuration loads based on superseded policy snapshots. Local requirements edits take effect on the next explicit reload or restart.
- Bind authenticated clients to the current account and revoke them when account ownership changes. Carry policy enforcement through backend requests, realtime connections, workload identity exchanges, and code-mode gRPC streams while preserving gRPC trailers.
- Treat denied credential refreshes as policy errors without retrying them or invalidating stored credentials.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for startup restrictions, reload ordering, cancellation after restrictive or malformed requirements edits, account revocation, gRPC destination denial, workload identity cancellation, and credential preservation after denied OAuth refresh.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0cb4c720a906397e9df06675f01ecf60d741101f
## Why
Clients with a gateway sign-in UI need to control when browser authorization starts and inspect credential readiness before making authenticated requests.
## What changed
- Add `initialize.capabilities.explicitGatewayOauth` to require explicit login while allowing existing credentials to refresh. Preserve automatic authorization for clients that omit the capability, and prevent later connections from undoing explicit opt-in.
- Add `account/gatewayOAuth/read`, `account/gatewayOAuth/login`, and `account/gatewayOAuth/cancel`, plus `account/gatewayOAuth/changed` notifications. Send the authorization URL only to the initiating connection and cancel its login on disconnect.
- Check gateway authentication before returning cached results from `model/list`, with restart guidance when provider settings have changed.
- Update protocol schemas, TypeScript and Python bindings, and document capability probing and the sign-in lifecycle.
## Testing
Add tests for passive readiness reads, credential reuse after login, token exchange failures, cancellation and immediate retry, connection ownership, legacy versus explicit login, and model-list authentication checks.
GitOrigin-RevId: a26e116a62c9f3db84dc238a40b7f4e816eb1594
## Why
The app server retains its startup model provider, but managed provider requirements can change while it is running. Catalog reads and background refreshes must check those requirements even when models are cached.
## What changed
- Gate `model/list` and background refreshes through a shared catalog that validates the startup provider against current requirements.
- Return JSON-RPC error `-32600` with restart guidance when the provider no longer complies, and skip background requests to that endpoint. Requirement load failures also block catalog access.
- Log only the error kind for blocked refreshes to avoid exposing credentials in parser diagnostics.
## Testing
Add coverage for cached catalog access after provider selection or definition changes, invalid requirements, cloud configuration load failures, and recovery when requirements allow the retained provider again. Extend refresh tests to cover startup provider overrides, blocked endpoint requests, and credential-safe logging.
GitOrigin-RevId: 03127bba46f1f59f2a8b1dc37391eab75f9be23c
## Why
Network access and Unix-socket allowlists must not let commands with filesystem restrictions reach the privileged app-server RPC transport.
## What changed
- Bind Unix control sockets in a fixed, user-owned directory with mode `0700`, independent of environment settings, and expose the advertised paths as symlinks. Preserve existing parent permissions, reject unsafe parents, and serialize socket setup and publication.
- Mask the socket directory in Linux bubblewrap sandboxes after each bind that exposes it. Reject host mount aliases and nested mounts that compromise isolation.
- Deny access to the directory and outbound connections to its sockets in macOS Seatbelt policies, including when network access or Unix-socket allowlists grant broader access.
- Require bubblewrap for filesystem-restricted Linux execution. Users with `features.use_legacy_landlock` enabled must disable it for these policies.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for direct and symlink socket access, hardlink attempts, Linux host-process links and bind-mount aliases, and continued use of unrelated and sandbox-local sockets. Add transport coverage for parent permissions, concurrent restart after a stale symlink, and cleanup that preserves a replacement at the advertised path.
GitOrigin-RevId: 53372c27eea278d964f2cf68aed24323ef3b7082
## What changed
Keep `shutdown_signal()` pinned across `tokio::select!` iterations and reset it only when it completes, so other events do not cancel and recreate the pending signal listener.
## Testing
Update the WebSocket drain interruption test to use gated responses and keep a second turn active until the `turn/interrupt` reply arrives, preventing shutdown from racing the reply.
GitOrigin-RevId: c939d84ed0e09c2ee49229e81a3becdfa6a4c7f1
## Why
Managed daemon recovery snapshots previously saved only loaded thread IDs, without identifying active turns or preserving their turn-specific options.
## What changed
- Capture regular, uncanceled turns after their input is recorded, saving the turn ID, output schema, service tier, and cyber access program alongside persisted thread IDs.
- Store interruption metadata atomically in the existing candidate array format so older servers can still read thread candidates.
- Begin snapshotting once admitted operations drain, while turns may still be running. Run snapshot collection and thread listener attachment independently of the event loop to keep forced shutdown responsive.
## Testing
Add coverage for running, completed, canceled, and compacting turns; recovery readiness for automatic and user turns; admitted resumes during shutdown; forced shutdown with a blocked rollout writer and child listener attachment; and legacy candidate-array compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: ed46342c3a5c71b09c48fa9acece2f15ae748e2f
## What changed
- Capture `CODEX_WINDOWS_REGISTERED_CORE=1` at startup and propagate the selected runtime to sandbox wrappers.
- Launch registered runners through service-recorded execution aliases, validating ownership, OS package identity, and the staged runner image before sending commands. Require service provisioning without falling back to copied helpers or `PATH` lookup.
- Preserve package context for sandboxed child processes and descendants so they can launch executables from the protected package directory.
- Refresh stale package registrations during readiness checks without blocking unrelated RPCs, and reconcile effective proxy settings through the service.
- Resolve setup ownership from the process token and avoid treating the server directory as a writable workspace when setup omits `cwd`.
- Record startup and command outcomes by runtime.
## Testing
Add coverage for runtime selection, package query validation, helper resolution, setup roots, proxy reconciliation, and command result reporting. Add an ignored integration test for environment forwarding, output, and exit status that requires an installed test MSIX and service provisioning in a Windows VM.
GitOrigin-RevId: 976d64039d611be4406c3d0e354820775f8eb6e4
## Why
Stdio shutdown can hang on open pipes or blocked I/O, and Unix `SIGTERM` needs to run connection cleanup so owned commands terminate and session-end hooks execute.
## What changed
- Handle `SIGTERM` on a dedicated signal thread and close the stdio connection through the existing cleanup path.
- Move blocking stdin and stdout operations to dedicated threads so they do not hold the Tokio runtime open. Cancel message forwarding on `SIGTERM` to release blocked producers.
- When shutdown signal handling is enabled on Unix, start a shared 45-second watchdog on EOF or `SIGTERM`. Preserve the first deadline and exit with status `1` if cleanup or runtime teardown stalls, even when logging is blocked.
## Testing
Add Unix integration coverage for shutdown with open pipes, blocked stdout, blocked stderr, and a stalled filesystem write. Verify command and child-process termination, preserve the EOF deadline when `SIGTERM` follows, and extend session-end hook coverage to `SIGTERM`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43a80b8277eb50519cdc293eb3b5dc2cad00b3aa
## Why
Remote-control connections and queued operations must not carry over to a different signed-in user or account. Token refreshes for the same identity should preserve the live relay connection.
## What changed
- Scope relay state and authentication recovery to a login lifetime. Retire the session on logout or identity changes and leave remote control disabled until enabled again.
- Reject stale incoming messages and queued RPCs, and cancel pending remote-control operations when their authentication owner changes.
- Start replacement sessions with fresh client, replay, and enrollment state, and prevent retired sessions from publishing status into their replacements.
- Serialize enrollment and preference persistence across sessions, retaining write permits through caller cancellation and draining admitted writes on shutdown.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for same-owner refreshes, user and account changes, stale pairing and client-revocation work, unauthorized enrollment recovery after logging in again, and persistence during cancellation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5e6ecd23588aab1e2e6168a21f575fb24bbb341c
## Why
Saved threads need to resume after a managed daemon restart so active goals can continue without waiting for a client to reconnect.
## What changed
- Consume the recovery snapshot at startup and restore threads in the background through the shared cold-resume path.
- Trigger idle lifecycle work without attaching a client subscription, and leave already-loaded threads untouched.
- Continue recovery after individual thread failures and abort background recovery during shutdown.
## Testing
Extend the daemon restart integration test to verify goal continuation before client reconnection, restored conversation history and tools, idle-thread restoration, and recovery snapshot consumption. Include malformed snapshots and an invalid thread ID.

## What changed
- Atomically save successfully persisted, loaded root thread IDs to `app-server-daemon/loaded-threads.json` during graceful managed shutdown, excluding ephemeral threads and threads pending unload.
- Clear stale recovery state at startup and around daemon lifecycle operations, including explicit stops and fresh starts.
- Probe support for `--managed-daemon` before launching managed app servers, and clear recovery state best-effort when launching older binaries.
- Keep forced shutdown responsive while saving the snapshot and log snapshot failures without preventing shutdown.
## Testing
Add coverage for snapshots after active turns finish, forced shutdown without a snapshot, excluded threads, snapshot write failures, and recovery-state cleanup for stops, fresh starts, and legacy launches.

## Why
Loaded threads, including idle threads whose rollout files are still deferred, need to survive a managed daemon restart. Shutdown must also remain forceable when rollout I/O is blocked.
## What changed
- Add a hidden `--managed-daemon` option for app-server Unix socket transports. After active turns and admitted requests drain, save loaded persistent root threads before exiting.
- Skip ephemeral threads, non-root agent threads, and threads pending unload. Log persistence failures and continue saving other threads.
- Apply shutdown admission checks to thread and turn settings updates, thread deletion, and archiving.
- Keep force signals and daemon shutdown requests responsive during persistence. Return `AppServerExit::Forced` so executables can exit without waiting for runtime teardown.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for resuming active and idle threads after restart, forcing shutdown during active work, and forcing shutdown with a blocked rollout writer. Extend shutdown rejection coverage to deletion and settings updates.

## Why
New client requests and automatic continuations can start more work while the app-server is draining. Shutdown also needs to account for requests still preparing or submitting work before they appear as running turns.
## What changed
- Close a shared admission gate when shutdown begins, rejecting new turn work and thread lifecycle changes with the server-draining error.
- Apply the gate to automatic turn starts, including queued work and goal continuations, and recheck serialized turn requests before execution.
- Wait for admitted requests and running turns to finish, while preserving forced shutdown. Keep reads and `turn/interrupt` available during drain.
## Testing
Add coverage for admission permit tracking, discarded queued requests, forced shutdown, and WebSocket drain behavior, including request rejection, interruption, and suppression of automatic continuations.

## Why
The existing `userVerification/*` handlers always returned unavailability, leaving local clients unable to use the native verification provider.
## What changed
- Dispatch status, enrollment, deletion, and challenge signing through an account-scoped provider. Enrollment creates or reuses a local key; it does not register credentials with a server.
- Restrict enrollment, deletion, and signing to stdio and in-process connections, rejecting WebSocket and remote-control callers before parameter validation.
- Bound native work to one operation per service with a 120-second timeout, and propagate in-process caller cancellation. Recheck connection, cancellation, and authentication state before delivering results, including after waiting for response queue capacity.
- Add device-gated verification capability wiring for the experimental in-process `codex-tui` client, with automatic activation still disabled by default.
## Testing
Add tests for local key reuse and deletion, decoded challenge signing, cancellation, authentication changes during verification and response queuing, concurrent worker rejection, and stdio/WebSocket RPC behavior.

## Why
Device-authenticated verification needs an app response outside automated approval and review. Previously, MCP user-verification requests were always cancelled.
## What changed
- Add typed `openai/userVerification` elicitations carrying a title, description, and challenge through core and app-server.
- Route verification to one connection enabled by trusted host activation. Restrict responses to that owner, exclude requests from replay, and cancel on disconnect or authentication changes, including account switches away and back.
- Return proofs in `content`, discard response metadata, and cancel malformed acceptances. Suppress verification response logging and analytics, and send only a generic verification notice to realtime.
- Keep the mode experimental and exclude it from stable schema exports. Capability advertisement remains disabled, and the TUI cancels verification requests.
## Testing
Add coverage for owner isolation, disconnect and authentication races, proof response handling, automated-review bypass, inactive-host cancellation, stable schema filtering, and realtime payload exclusion. Update the MCP integration test to verify that an activated request holds the tool until the client responds.

## What changed
Route managed Windows app-server shutdown through `/daemon/shutdown` on the local control socket. Require the server's PID and acknowledge it before triggering shutdown through the existing drain logic. Enable the endpoint only for managed Windows launches via `CODEX_DAEMON_SHUTDOWN_SOCKET`.
Watch running-turn changes whenever shutdown is requested so socket-triggered shutdown can finish draining. Keep the updater's file-based shutdown mechanism and retain forced termination as the manager's timeout fallback.
## Testing
Add a transport test covering rejection of unmanaged shutdown requests and mismatched PIDs, plus acknowledgment before emitting the shutdown event.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3e95dc1914f61e8a131f9b6fd56b6c63688d1744
## What changed
Add `userVerification/status`, `userVerification/enroll`, `userVerification/delete`, and `userVerification/verify` behind the `experimentalApi` capability. Define request, response, proof, and typed error contracts, export their schemas, and document the API.
All four methods currently return `unavailable` with reason `providerUnavailable`; native verification operations are not implemented by this change.
## Testing
Add tests for experimental opt-in, typed provider unavailability, readiness serialization, and rejection of mismatched error reasons and native diagnostic payloads.
GitOrigin-RevId: a858ab41523c5acec7dbf3cfa7fcab693ac44a8c
## What changed
- Add the macOS-only `allow_symlinked_codex_home` user setting. When enabled in the execution host's `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml`, writable roots at or beneath that home may traverse symlinks.
- Keep the exception disabled by default and prevent project config, command-line overrides, and ignored user config from enabling it. Other writable roots remain subject to symlink checks.
- Propagate the resolved setting through local, interactive, and exec-server sandbox paths, including `CODEX_HOME` aliases.
- Explain the opt-out in symlink rejection errors, including that it trusts targets outside `CODEX_HOME` and targets that change between commands.
## Testing
- Add macOS coverage for shell commands, patches, filesystem helpers, process execution, and interactive startup with enabled, disabled, aliased, and out-of-scope homes.

## Why
A pending remote control enrollment could prevent the app server from exiting
after stdio EOF, leaving resources such as thread writers held by the process.
## What changed
- Give remote control its own child shutdown token and cancel it before draining
RPCs when the stdio connection closes.
- Interrupt enrollment requests that require network access after shutdown has
begun, while still allowing in-memory or persisted enrollments to be enabled
and durably saved.
## Testing
- Cover stdio shutdown during a blocked enrollment and verify that another app
server can acquire the released thread writer.
- Cover durable enablement after shutdown with in-memory, persisted, and missing
enrollments.

## Why
Detached Windows processes cannot receive console signals, so app-server daemons
need another way to enter the existing graceful and forced shutdown flow.
## What changed
- Watch the path in `CODEX_DAEMON_SHUTDOWN_FILE` for a request addressed to the
current process, and consume only a matching PID.
- Race daemon shutdown requests with Ctrl-C on Windows while leaving unmanaged
launches on the existing console-signal path.
- Exercise the SIGTERM-equivalent graceful and forced WebSocket shutdown cases
on Windows.
## Testing
Added unit coverage ensuring inherited control paths and malformed requests
cannot consume another process's shutdown request.

## Why
Configured Git marketplaces may be defined outside the user config, but those definitions could not download or update their snapshots.
## What changed
- Select marketplace source, ref, and sparse-path settings from the effective merged configuration for startup synchronization and explicit upgrades.
- Preserve the initiating operation's configuration loader and overrides when reloading before activation.
- Roll back activation if the marketplace definition changed or configuration can no longer be loaded, without copying settings into the user config.
## Testing
- Cover system-defined marketplaces, CLI overrides, startup fallback after invalid user configuration, and rollback after configuration changes.
