## What changed
- Add an `Interrupt` hook event that runs for an active top-level turn before its
interrupted abort event is emitted.
- Flush the turn transcript before invoking the hook and provide the session,
turn, transcript, working directory, model, and permission mode in its input.
- Support command and MCP handlers, including asynchronous commands, with a
one-second default timeout and a three-second maximum.
- Expose the event through hook configuration, managed requirements, app-server
notifications, generated schemas, analytics, and the TUI hook views.
## Testing
- Cover handler discovery, timeout normalization, output parsing, protocol
compatibility, TUI rendering, and interrupt execution ordering.

## Testing
- Verify an executor plugin's `Stop` hook starts running after its environment
attaches and stops after disconnection.
- Confirm hook calls carry the expected session, thread, turn, model, and request
metadata.
- Reject hooks whose MCP server belongs to a different executor environment.
- Cover the current restriction to the first executor environment and handler.
GitOrigin-RevId: ef13baf61379997f117cc57515363cc9880d3724
## What changed
- Scope executor-provided stop-hook calls to the MCP server environment that registered the hook, and reject calls when that environment does not match.
- Forward turn metadata with executor stop-hook requests while retaining the hook call's `threadId` metadata.
## Testing
- Cover environment matching for MCP tool calls and verify executor stop hooks receive their environment ID and request metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: b544ea3a6ca1f61389fb4597978ed7aac27d529a
## What changed
- Discover inline hooks from executor-provided plugin manifests and accept only
the bundled Computer Use `Stop` hook for `node_repl.turn_ended`.
- Add the accepted hook to the current step's hook engine with
executor-scoped provenance.
- Run executor-scoped hooks in the background after regular stop-hook
decisions, without delaying turn completion, applying control effects, or
exposing them in hook summaries. Skip them when regular hooks only block
continuation.
## Testing
- Added coverage for manifest filtering and option preservation.
- Added coverage for background execution, interaction with regular stop
hooks, and non-blocking turn completion.
GitOrigin-RevId: c0f75f83a23ba8a83bb3a5d5997c4882aacc32d6
## What changed
- Capture the process environment when the hook registry is created and reuse
that snapshot across configuration reloads.
- Clear the live environment before launching command hooks and legacy notify
commands, then apply hook-specific overrides and scrub non-inheritable
credentials.
- Resolve the default shell from the captured environment.
## Testing
Add coverage for snapshot replay, overrides, credential scrubbing, default
shell selection, non-Unicode values, and runtime reconfiguration.
GitOrigin-RevId: fee60c88e842980cdfc1bd49b14b62b9a56b08cd
## What changed
- Execute `mcp_tool` hook handlers through the session's shared MCP runtime, including managed hook configurations.
- Restrict hook calls to already-connected, cataloged, and policy-allowed tools. Unavailable servers fail immediately without starting or reconnecting them.
- Pass session metadata to hook tools, cap hook timeouts by the server timeout, and invoke hooks without model-tool approval or recursive hook dispatch.
- Record handler type and execution mode in hook telemetry, and mark memory as externally influenced after successful or blocking MCP hooks when configured.
## Testing
- Added end-to-end coverage for prompt interpolation, hidden tools, blocking decisions, unavailable servers, thread metadata, approval bypass, and memory-mode handling.
- Added MCP runtime coverage for startup readiness, tool filters, catalog revisions, and managed connector policy.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1647cb801ebc5fa385c7bda9d9c266a389c611b8
## What changed
- Discover synchronous `mcp_tool` hook handlers and invoke their configured MCP server and tool through a supplied executor.
- Expand nested hook-event placeholders in MCP tool inputs while preserving JSON types, and process tool output through the existing hook output contract.
- Represent hook details as handler-specific metadata in `hooks/list`, including MCP server and tool fields, and show those details in the TUI hooks browser.
- Skip unsupported `SessionEnd` MCP hooks and runtimes without MCP invocation support with startup warnings.
## Testing
- Cover argument expansion, missing placeholders, MCP invocation and hook decisions, discovery warnings, `hooks/list` metadata, and TUI rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 295b845471fe92bd7ad7cd272fbcd2c3713912e0
## Why
Hooks supplied as managed requirements must not be silently skipped when their
handlers cannot be loaded.
## What changed
- Fail session and app-server thread startup when an enabled managed requirement
contains an invalid matcher, an empty command, or an unsupported handler type.
- Keep load failures for ordinary managed configuration hooks as warnings, and do
not enforce managed hook requirements while the hooks feature is disabled.
## Testing
Added hook-engine, core session, and app-server coverage for valid and invalid
managed hook requirements.
GitOrigin-RevId: 91a23b0c1d85e143aba6aabe874c5274e52fc6b2
## What changed
- Represent configured handlers by handler kind and route execution through the
hooks engine, while preserving command hook behavior.
- Reject MCP tool inputs containing values such as `null` that cannot be
represented in TOML for trust hashing.
## Testing
- Add coverage for rejecting `null` at the top level and within nested MCP tool
input objects and arrays.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3854a349c2a721691450467592f99cf57e6260ef
## Why
Hook configurations can mark command handlers as asynchronous, but Codex previously skipped those handlers outside `SessionEnd`.
## What changed
- Run asynchronous command hooks in the background with a per-session concurrency limit, while keeping `SessionEnd` hooks synchronous.
- Prevent asynchronous hooks from blocking, stopping, rewriting, or otherwise controlling the operation that launched them.
- Deliver warnings and additional context at safe turn boundaries: inject results into an active turn after sampling, or buffer them ahead of the next user prompt when the session is idle.
- Preserve in-flight hooks across configuration reloads, scope spilled output to the thread, and abort outstanding work during session shutdown.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for background scheduling, concurrency, output parsing, active and idle result delivery, configuration reloads, and shutdown cleanup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8094552e4afe7b47b09a61bb575bb20f4e491d8d
## Why
Timing out a command hook can leave descendant processes running after the hook itself is stopped.
## What changed
- Run hook commands in a process group on Unix and a job object on Windows.
- Terminate the full process tree when hook execution is cancelled or fails, with `taskkill` as a Windows fallback.
- Preserve descendants when a hook completes successfully so intentionally detached helpers can continue running.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1a18653d34c6f1685ef8c4f8e8546663b276292a
## 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.

Addresses #25875.
## Summary
`hooks.json` accepted unknown top-level fields. A file with
`SessionStart` at the root parsed as an empty hook configuration without
warning.
## Repro
```json
{ "SessionStart": [...] }
```
Previously: zero hooks, zero warnings.
Now:
```text
unknown field `SessionStart`, expected `hooks`
```
The supported shape remains:
```json
{ "hooks": { "SessionStart": [...] } }
```
## Fix
Reject unknown top-level fields and surface the parse warning in human
and JSONL `codex exec` output.
## Summary
V2 profiles add both `config.toml` and `<profile>.config.toml` to the
config stack. Because both user layers resolve hook discovery to the
same Codex home, Codex loaded the same `hooks.json` twice. This
duplicated hook rows and caused each matching command to run twice.
Deduplicate JSON hook discovery by absolute config folder within each
effective config stack. TOML hooks remain layer-specific, and multi-cwd
`hooks/list` results remain independently resolved per cwd.
## Reproduction
1. Add `config.toml` and `work.config.toml` under `$CODEX_HOME`.
2. Add one command hook to `$CODEX_HOME/hooks.json`.
3. Run Codex with `--profile work`.
4. Trigger the hook.
Before this change, one declaration creates two handlers. Afterward, it
creates one.
Fixes#25645 and addresses the single-cwd duplication in #25437.
## Validation
- `cargo nextest run -p codex-hooks`
- `just fix -p codex-hooks`
- `just fmt`
- `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-hooks`
## Summary
- Adapts the moved `codex-cloud-config` crate from the legacy cloud
requirements endpoint to the new config bundle endpoint.
- Switches runtime consumers from `CloudRequirementsLoader` to
`CloudConfigBundleLoader` so one shared bundle supplies cloud-delivered
config and requirements.
- Removes the legacy cloud requirements domain loader path.
## Details
This intentionally keeps `codex-cloud-config` monolithic for review
lineage: the previous PR establishes the crate move, and this PR shows
the behavior change against that moved implementation. A follow-up PR
splits the module back into focused files.
The new bundle path preserves the important cloud requirements loader
semantics where intended: account-scoped signed cache, 30 minute TTL, 5
minute refresh cadence, retry/backoff, auth recovery, and fail-closed
startup loading. The cached payload changes from a single requirements
TOML string to the backend-delivered bundle, and validation rejects
malformed config or requirements fragments before cache write/use.
# What
When a normal hook fires inside a thread-spawned subagent, Codex now
includes these optional top-level fields in the hook input:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id
- `agent_type`: the subagent role
Root-agent hook inputs omit these fields. `SubagentStart` and
`SubagentStop` keep their existing required `agent_id` and `agent_type`
fields because those events are inherently subagent-scoped.
This does not change matcher behavior. Tool hooks still match on tool
name, compact hooks still match on trigger, and `UserPromptSubmit` still
ignores matchers. Only `SubagentStart` and `SubagentStop` match on
`agent_type`.
## Why
`--profile-v2 <name>` gives launchers and runtime entry points a named
profile config without making each profile duplicate the base user
config. The base `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` still loads first, then
`$CODEX_HOME/<name>.config.toml` layers above it and becomes the active
writable user config for that session.
That keeps shared defaults, plugin/MCP setup, and managed/user
constraints in one place while letting a named profile override only the
pieces that need to differ.
## What Changed
- Added the shared `--profile-v2 <name>` runtime option with validated
plain names, now represented by `ProfileV2Name`.
- Extended config layer state so the base user config and selected
profile config are both `User` layers; APIs expose the active user layer
and merged effective user config.
- Threaded profile selection through runtime entry points: `codex`,
`codex exec`, `codex review`, `codex resume`, `codex fork`, and `codex
debug prompt-input`.
- Made user-facing config writes go to the selected profile file when
active, including TUI/settings persistence, app-server config writes,
and MCP/app tool approval persistence.
- Made plugin, marketplace, MCP, hooks, and config reload paths read
from the merged user config so base and profile layers both participate.
- Updated app-server config layer schemas to mark profile-backed user
layers.
## Limits
`--profile-v2` is still rejected for config-management subcommands such
as feature, MCP, and marketplace edits. Those paths remain tied to the
base `config.toml` until they have explicit profile-selection semantics.
Some adjacent background writes may still update base or global state
rather than the selected profile:
- marketplace auto-upgrade metadata
- automatic MCP dependency installs from skills
- remote plugin sync or uninstall config edits
- personality migration marker/default writes
## Verification
Added targeted coverage for profile name validation, layer
ordering/merging, selected-profile writes, app-server config writes,
session hot reload, plugin config merging, hooks/config fixture updates,
and MCP/app approval persistence.

# Why
Hook trust happens through the TUI in `/hooks` so it can block
non-interactive use cases. This flag will allow users that are using
codex headlessly to bypass hooks when they want to.
# What
This adds one invocation-scoped escape hatch.
- the CLI flag sets a runtime-only `bypass_hook_trust` override; there
is no durable `config.toml` setting
- hook discovery still respects normal enablement, so explicitly
disabled hooks remain disabled
- we show a `--dangerously-bypass-hook-trust is enabled. Enabled hooks
may run without review for this invocation.` message on startup so
accidental use is visible in both interactive and exec flows
This keeps “enabled” and “trusted” as separate concepts in the normal
path, while giving CI/E2E callers a stable way to opt into the
exceptional path when they already control the hook set.
## Why
Enterprise-managed hook policy needs a narrow way to require Codex to
ignore user-controlled lifecycle hooks without adopting the broader
trust-precedence model from earlier hook work. This keeps the policy
anchored in `requirements.toml`, so admins can opt into managed hooks
only while normal `config.toml` files cannot enable the restriction
themselves.
## What changed
- Added `allow_managed_hooks_only` to the requirements data flow and
preserved explicit `false` values.
- Also adds it to /debug-config
- Marked MDM, system, and legacy managed config layers as managed for
hook discovery.
- Updated hook discovery so `allow_managed_hooks_only = true`:
- keeps managed requirements hooks and managed config-layer hooks,
- skips user/project/session `hooks.json` and `[hooks]` entries with
concise startup warnings,
- skips current unmanaged plugin hooks,
- ignores any `allow_managed_hooks_only` key placed in ordinary
`config.toml` layers.
# Why
Managed hook configs need a shared cross-platform shape without making
the existing `command` field polymorphic. The common case is still one
command string, with Windows needing a different entrypoint only when
the runtime is actually Windows.
Keeping `command` as the portable/default path and adding an optional
Windows override keeps the config easier to read, preserves the existing
scalar shape for non-Windows users, and avoids forcing every caller into
a `{ unix, windows }` object when only one platform needs special
handling.
# What
- Add optional `command_windows` / `commandWindows` alongside the
existing hook `command` field.
- Resolve `command_windows` only on Windows during hook discovery; other
platforms continue to use `command` unchanged.
- Keep trust hashing aligned to the effective command selected for the
current runtime.
# Docs
The Codex hooks/config reference should document `command_windows` as
the Windows-only override for command hooks.
# Why
We want shared hook trust that both the app and the TUI can build on,
but the metadata is only useful if runtime behavior agrees with it. This
PR adds a single backend trust model for hooks so unmanaged hooks cannot
run until the current definition has been reviewed, while managed hooks
remain runnable and non-configurable.
# What
- persist `trusted_hash` alongside hook state in `config.toml`
- expose `currentHash` and derived `trustStatus` through `hooks/list`
- derive trust from normalized hook definitions so equivalent hooks from
`config.toml` and `hooks.json` share the same trust identity
- gate unmanaged hooks on trust before they enter the runnable handler
set
# Reviewer Notes
- key file to review is `codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
- the only **core** change is schema related
## Why
`hooks/list` and `hooks/config/write` give us read/write access to hooks
and their state. This hooks up the TUI as a client so users can inspect
and manage that state directly.
## What
- add a two-page `/hooks` browser in the TUI: an event overview with
installed/active counts, followed by a per-event handler page with
toggle controls and detail rendering
- thread managed-state metadata through hook discovery and `hooks/list`
so the UI can label admin-managed hooks and suppress toggles for them
- persist hook toggles through the existing config-write path and add
snapshot coverage for the event list, handler list, managed-hook, and
empty states

## Reviewer Notes
- Main UI logic is in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/hooks_browser_view.rs`; most of the diff

- Request / write plumbing for opening the browser and persisting
toggles is in `codex-rs/tui/src/app/background_requests.rs` and
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/hooks.rs`
- Outside the TUI, the only behavioral change in this PR is threading
`is_managed` through hook discovery and `hooks/list` so managed hooks
render as non-toggleable
- The `codex-rs/tui/src/status/snapshots/` churn is unrelated merge
fallout from the stacked base branch's newer permission-label rendering

## Why
After `hooks/list` exposes the hook inventory, clients need a way to
persist user hook preferences, make those changes effective in
already-open sessions, and distinguish user-controllable hooks from
managed requirements without adding another bespoke app-server write
API.
## What
- Extends `hooks/list` entries with effective `enabled` state.
- Persists user-level hook state under `hooks.state.<hook-id>` so the
model can grow beyond a single boolean over time.
- Uses the existing `config/batchWrite` path for hook state updates
instead of introducing a dedicated hook write RPC.
- Refreshes live session hook engines after config writes so
already-open threads observe updated enablement without a restart.

## Reviewer Notes
The generated schema files account for much of the raw diff. The core
behavior is in:
- `hooks/src/config_rules.rs`, which resolves per-hook user state from
the config layer stack.
- `hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`, which projects effective enablement
into `hooks/list` from source-derived managedness.
- `config/src/hook_config.rs`, which defines the new `hooks.state`
representation.
- `core/src/session/mod.rs`, which rebuilds live hook state after user
config reloads.

# Why
`plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source` can still
fail on Windows after the earlier file-based assertion cleanup because
the hook process itself occasionally exceeds the old 5s timeout under CI
load. When that happens, the hook run ends as `Failed` before the test
can inspect its structured output.
The Windows Bazel failure showed the hook run itself failing after
nearly 8 seconds:
```text
---- engine::tests::plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source stdout ----
thread 'engine::tests::plugin_hook_sources_run_with_plugin_env_and_plugin_source' panicked at hooks/src\engine\mod_tests.rs:428:5:
assertion failed: `(left == right)`
Diff < left / right > :
<Failed
>Completed
...
test result: FAILED. 78 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 7.96s
```
# What
- raise the flaky plugin hook env test timeout from 5s to 10s so it
matches the other executed hook tests in this module
# Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
The test was flaky because it was checking the right thing in a
roundabout way.
What it wanted to prove:
- plugin hooks receive the right environment variables.
What it actually did:
1. Run a plugin hook.
2. Have that hook write those env vars into a temporary `env.json` file.
3. After the hook finished, read `env.json` back from disk.
On Windows, that last file was sometimes not there when the test tried
to read it, so the test failed with `read env log: file not found`. The
hook system itself was not what the test failure was directly proving;
the test was failing on the extra filesystem side effect it introduced.
The fix is to stop using a temp file as the proof mechanism. The hook
now prints the env values in its normal structured output, and the test
asserts on the output that the hook engine already captures. So we still
verify the same behavior, but without depending on a separate file being
created and read back correctly on Windows.
## Why
Plugins can bundle lifecycle hooks, but Codex previously only discovered
hooks from user, project, and managed config layers. This adds the
plugin discovery and runtime plumbing needed for plugin-bundled hooks
while keeping execution behind the `plugin_hooks` feature flag.
## What
- Discovers plugin hook sources from each plugin's default
`hooks/hooks.json`.
- Supports `plugin.json` manifest `hooks` entries as either relative
paths or inline hook objects.
- Plumbs discovered plugin hook sources through plugin loading into the
hook runtime when `plugin_hooks` is enabled.
- Marks plugin-originated hook runs as `HookSource::Plugin`.
- Injects `PLUGIN_ROOT` and `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` into plugin hook
command environments.
- Updates generated schemas and hook source metadata for the plugin hook
source.

2. openai/codex#19778
3. openai/codex#19840
4. openai/codex#19882
## Reviewer Notes
- Core logic is in `codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader.rs` and
`codex-rs/hooks/src/engine/discovery.rs`
- Moved existing / adding new tests to
`codex-rs/core-plugins/src/loader_tests.rs` hence the large diff there
- Otherwise mostly plumbing and minor schema updates
### Core Changes
The `codex-rs/core` changes are limited to wiring plugin hook support
into existing core flows:
- `core/src/session/session.rs` conditionally pulls effective plugin
hook sources and plugin hook load warnings from `PluginsManager` when
`plugin_hooks` is enabled, then passes them into `HooksConfig`.
- `core/src/hook_runtime.rs` adds the `plugin` metric tag for
`HookSource::Plugin`.
- `core/config.schema.json` picks up the new `plugin_hooks` feature
flag, and `core/src/plugins/manager_tests.rs` updates fixtures for the
added plugin hook fields.
---------

## Summary
Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
`PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
- hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
- hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
- core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings
That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
model-visible and stable
This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.
## Reviewer Notes
I think these are the key files
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`
Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
`command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.
## Changes
- Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
- Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
as `tool_input`.
- Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
`McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
- Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
elicitation.
- Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
`mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

## Summary
Support the existing hooks schema in inline TOML so hooks can be
configured from both `config.toml` and enterprise-managed
`requirements.toml` without requiring a separate `hooks.json` payload.
This gives enterprise admins a way to ship managed hook policy through
the existing requirements channel while still leaving script delivery to
MDM or other device-management tooling, and it keeps `hooks.json`
working unchanged for existing users.
This also lays the groundwork for follow-on managed filtering work such
as #15937, while continuing to respect project trust gating from #14718.
It does **not** implement `allow_managed_hooks_only` itself.
NOTE: yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the toml isn't formatted as
closely as normal to our default styling. This is because we're trying
to stay compatible with the spec for plugins/hooks that we'll need to
support & the main usecase here is embedding into requirements.toml
## What changed
- moved the shared hook serde model out of `codex-rs/hooks` into
`codex-rs/config` so the same schema can power `hooks.json`, inline
`config.toml` hooks, and managed `requirements.toml` hooks
- added `hooks` support to both `ConfigToml` and
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, including requirements-side `managed_dir` /
`windows_managed_dir`
- treated requirements-managed hooks as one constrained value via
`Constrained`, so managed hook policy is merged atomically and cannot
drift across requirement sources
- updated hook discovery to load requirements-managed hooks first, then
per-layer `hooks.json`, then per-layer inline TOML hooks, with a warning
when a single layer defines both representations
- threaded managed hook metadata through discovered handlers and exposed
requirements hooks in app-server responses, generated schemas, and
`/debug-config`
- added hook/config coverage in `codex-rs/config`, `codex-rs/hooks`,
`codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/tests.rs`, and
`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/hooks.rs`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server config_api`
## Documentation
Companion updates are needed in the developers website repo for:
- the hooks guide
- the config reference, sample, basic, and advanced pages
- the enterprise managed configuration guide
