## What changed
Add `TurnEnvironmentRequests` to carry environment requests together with their fallback working directory. Update thread settings overrides and active turn settings to accept requests, constructing `TurnEnvironmentSelection` values in the receiving thread before validation and runtime use.
Adapt app-server callers, reviewer settings, and existing tests to supply requests or explicitly convert runtime selections back into requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8028f804bebe3fde553f57bb450f6dca3970cc4a
## 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
## What changed
Introduce `TurnEnvironmentRequest` for caller-supplied environment input and construct `TurnEnvironmentSelection` at session startup and app-server settings boundaries. Update thread startup, default environments, and inherited environment handoffs to use requests, with explicit conversions when reusing runtime selections.
Move the environment types into `protocol::environment` while retaining their `protocol` re-exports. Update test fixtures and existing tests to build request inputs separately from runtime selections.
GitOrigin-RevId: 12e7daaece95aae136afae8b055b4dbaebdffc75
## 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
Callers need to await acceptance or rejection of thread settings without consuming the thread event stream. Acceptance must precede event delivery because the caller may hold a lock needed by the event consumer.
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::update_thread_settings` and re-export `ThreadSettingsOverrides` from `core-api`.
- Add an optional reply channel to `Op::ThreadSettings`. Return validation failures as `InvalidRequest` through that channel, retaining error events for callers without a reply channel.
- Reply to successful updates before emitting `ThreadSettingsApplied`, while holding the settings persistence lock through notification.
## Testing
Extend settings constraint coverage to direct replies, including rejection without an error event and successful notification. Verify that acceptance and continuation invalidation precede blocked event delivery, while checkpointing waits for notification.
GitOrigin-RevId: e09b0d3cc4b6750709c173371632f19619e5c250
## What changed
- Make `LocalThreadStore` default to paginated history while retaining explicit legacy mode.
- Explicitly use paginated history for Guardian review sessions and allow in-memory stores to create paginated threads.
- Rename full-history resume, fork, and subagent helpers to identify them as legacy APIs, and document the paginated alternatives.
- Reject `thread/revert` for ephemeral threads and prevent the TUI from replaying or attaching to ephemeral agent threads.
## Testing
Add coverage for preserving the default and explicitly selected history modes and conversation context across restart, and for retaining context after rejected ephemeral reverts. Extend Guardian checkpoint coverage across both history modes and verify that saved reviews use paginated history.
GitOrigin-RevId: 870239eb3757018159ee4f230a009c97d38ac5b7
## 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
## What changed
Add `backend_reasoning_status`, disabled by default, to relay public reasoning summaries during active, server-managed realtime V3 delegations.
Use the last non-empty summary from each completed reasoning item, truncate it to 256 bytes at a character boundary, and append it as `[STATUS]` context on the `commentary` channel. Discard queued updates if their delegation is no longer active.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering enabled and disabled behavior, selection of the latest non-empty summary, exclusion of raw reasoning and partial summaries, and delivery without triggering `response.create` or changing the model's reasoning-summary setting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 75ce87dbbbab15a6d9d0ad0b23737738837192fd
## Why
App-server callers that only need the active turn ID or its presence currently create a full turn snapshot, unnecessarily cloning its items.
## What changed
Expose `ThreadState::active_turn_id()` and use it for interrupt validation, elicitation turn ID fallback, and teardown and shutdown logging, preserving the existing turn selection behavior.
## Testing
Update the interrupt integration test to wait for `turn/started` instead of a fixed delay and verify that an incorrect turn ID is rejected before successfully interrupting the active turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4a030655fbc4d229809cf13f80c3d7f788f19c13
## Why
`CodexThread` retained the full `SessionConfiguredEvent`, including initial replay messages, and cloned it even for callers that only needed thread or session IDs.
## What changed
Store `ThreadStartupMetadata` without replay history and expose it by reference through `startup_metadata()`. Update callers to read IDs from this metadata. When rejoining a running thread, rebuild the startup response using the supplied resume history for `initial_messages`.
## Testing
Extend the resume test to verify that rejoining reuses the loaded thread, preserves startup metadata, and still returns the original replay messages as a prefix.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9d656063088c28f091d29e5862e4b9d894b7642c
## Why
Permission profile changes reloaded configuration without the thread's session overrides, so profiles defined at thread start could be unavailable to `thread/settings/update`.
## What changed
Reload permission configuration with the thread's merged, enabled `SessionFlags` layers, the effective working directory, and the requested profile. Preserve sandbox executable paths through `ConfigManager`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for switching away from and back to session-defined and disk-defined profiles, including top-level profile selection. Add a config manager test for merging session layers, excluding disabled layers, and retaining filesystem access to the exec wrapper directory.
GitOrigin-RevId: b0271e28a90cd55d3faf5fdf5f044d768395b0b6
## Why
Daemon recovery reloads threads but leaves interrupted work unfinished. Resume eligible work automatically from the saved conversation, even without a connected client.
## What changed
- Attempt one new continuation turn immediately after restoration, including in Plan mode. Mark the old turn interrupted and supply recovery context without creating a user message or granting new authorization.
- Require an idle thread, matching permissions, and the same single local environment configured by the thread. Skip completed, aborted, or superseded work and snapshots without environment identity.
- Add `continue_turn_if_idle` with an atomic previous-turn check so newer tasks or standalone settings changes invalidate pending continuation.
- Preserve the output schema, service tier, and root turn ID, and emit a “Resuming interrupted work” warning when continuation starts.
## Testing
Add daemon restart coverage for continuation without a client, Plan mode, permission and environment mismatches, and legacy snapshots. Add core coverage for preserved continuation metadata, absence of user-message events, rejection of superseded continuations, and exclusion of remote execution from recovery snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2b290b75d9399fc58258bcda2e85c74e9b5b3b09
## What changed
- Accept `fileId` alongside the existing `url` form for app-server image inputs, and forward file references to the Responses API as `file_id`. Update generated schemas and client types.
- Preserve file references, image detail hints, and mixed inline/file image ordering through user-message events, thread history, and rollout migration. Retain file images when truncating tool output.
- Pass file references through image preparation without resolving them, while keeping resize-notice numbering correct. Omit them from unsupported TUI display and Guardian image context.
- Reject image-edit requests whose recent-image window includes a file reference, preventing selection of an older inline image instead.
## Testing
Add coverage for serialization, request and rollout preservation, mixed-image history ordering, incomplete ordering metadata, tool-output truncation, and rejection of unsupported image-edit selections.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6ca20a8577155cc934b720803c3b7b3bffdf972a
## What changed
Represent images in `ContentItem` and `FunctionCallOutputContentItem` with `ImageReference::Inline`, flattened to preserve the existing `image_url` wire format. Update image producers and consumers and regenerate app-server schemas and SDK artifacts.
Preserve the Python SDK's `InputImageContentItem` and `InputImageFunctionCallOutputContentItem` class names during generation.
## Testing
Add a regression test for stable Python image class names and adapt existing image tests to the shared representation.
GitOrigin-RevId: c38a780ac3314c2ac2deb3afc1b93b94b6f93fec
## Why
Existing threads retain their model provider configuration, which can stop matching managed requirements after those requirements change.
## What changed
- Check retained providers against current managed `model_provider` and `model_providers` requirements before turn start/steer, review, compaction, manual queue start, and active goal updates. Reject requests when requirements cannot be loaded or no longer match; provider mismatches prompt users to restart Codex.
- Load managed requirements independently of user, project, system defaults, and thread configuration, and resolve Bedrock provider overrides before comparison.
- Keep interrupt, realtime stop, and goal pause/clear available. Realtime connections use separate routing and are outside these checks.
- Make detached reviews inherit their parent thread's configuration.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for provider selection and definition changes, Bedrock overrides, requirement load failures, unchanged queue and goal state after rejection, and continued operation after local configuration changes. Extend detached review coverage to verify inheritance of the parent's provider route.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21abf08ad2bcc2ea4698209fa33a17485eed4740
## What changed
Remove `thread/rollback`, its request and response types, generated bindings, and the core `Op::ThreadRollback` operation. Requests now follow the generic unknown-method rejection path. Document `thread/revert` as the alternative for paginated threads.
Keep historical `ThreadRolledBack` markers and legacy error deserialization so existing rollouts remain compatible with replay and migration.
## Testing
Adapt retained-context and Guardian history tests to append legacy rollback markers and resume threads, preserving coverage of surviving instructions, answers, and review history.
GitOrigin-RevId: b3da1becdf86b1869275aacb0ffc2817cee5af2e
## What changed
- Accept `disabledPluginIds` in `thread/settings/update` and `turn/start`. A supplied list replaces the saved selection; omission or `null` preserves it, and `[]` clears it.
- Return the selection in thread start, resume, and fork responses and `thread/settings/updated` notifications. Update generated schemas and client types.
- Restore disabled plugin IDs from the history retained at the requested fork boundary, preserving explicit overrides.
The selection persists across resume but does not yet filter plugin capabilities.
## Testing
Add coverage for replacing, preserving, and clearing selections without inference; turn-start notifications; resume; and fork boundaries across legacy and paginated history, with loaded and restarted parents. Add a core regression test for history restoration and explicit clearing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 654a8c2a0527228d422c0dd4919228447e2663db
## 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
Hosts need to stop new turn-input work during shutdown without consuming pending input or preventing already-running delegated work from finishing.
## What changed
- Add an optional `TurnStartAdmission` extension gate, checked before reserving or starting a new turn. Hosts without a gate retain existing behavior.
- Return `NotSubmittedReason::ServerDraining` for refused starts and surface an app-server error instructing clients to reconnect and retry.
- Keep steering, parent-delegated subagent input, and memory-only mailbox wakeups available during drain, while gating automatic starts.
- Close realtime conversations with an ordered handoff, error, and close event sequence when a handoff is refused during drain.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for rejected input staying out of subsequent requests, persisted queue items remaining available for later starts, delegated agent and review work completing during drain, mailbox wakeups, and realtime handoff error ordering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 03dbdcd71eab200e597c0649e6eb39bd92dbc82f
## Why
Resuming a thread should retain its selected workspace folders, including additional roots and explicit empty selections. Resume overrides also need to survive a subsequent resume when no turn has run.
## What changed
- Persist `runtime_workspace_roots` in startup metadata and thread settings snapshots, separately from explicit environment selections and permission-profile roots.
- Restore roots from the latest snapshot owned by the resumed thread, falling back to owned startup metadata only when no snapshot exists. Honor explicit `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` overrides, retarget the old `cwd` root when `cwd` changes, deduplicate roots, and validate restored paths for the current host.
- Checkpoint effective settings on resume and restored settings after revert. Reload resume configuration if saved workspace roots change during loading.
- Normalize Windows rollout path spellings when matching thread search results, preserving selection of the correct rollout after revert, including compressed rollouts.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for workspace restoration, empty and explicit overrides, foreign paths, compaction and revert, resume checkpoints without recency changes, concurrent settings persistence, and rollout search path matching.
GitOrigin-RevId: d98d9d34dd63934d441120916c61c12b69e7f062
## What changed
- Emit a connection-scoped `deprecationNotice` when `review/start` uses
`delivery: "detached"`, including when validation later rejects the request.
- Preserve detached review behavior while directing callers to use `thread/start`
followed by an inline review for a separate review thread.
- Document the deprecation and migration options in the app-server protocol and
README.
## Testing
- Cover the notice for accepted and rejected detached reviews.
- Verify that omitted, null, and inline delivery do not emit the notice.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4234a09d2bb7ef8053091580175dc8cbe8d7512c
## What changed
- Add the experimental `Thread.environments` field with each selected environment's ID, working directory, and runtime workspace roots.
- Populate the field from live thread state in start, resume, read, list, and unarchive responses. Use `null` for unloaded threads and an empty list when a loaded thread has no environment selection.
- Document that the field reports selection rather than connection status and does not affect executor selection or resume behavior.
## Testing
- Cover selection updates, unloaded and resumed threads, loaded pathless unarchives, and clients that subscribe after environment connection notifications.
GitOrigin-RevId: a6daa06aff7089d7c5a1e4c7d03109b41f12fa3c
## What changed
- Remove the per-thread `RealtimeConversation` feature check when starting a realtime session.
- Retain `features.realtime_conversation` as a removed compatibility setting that has no effect, even when set to `false`.
- Document the always-available behavior for `thread/realtime/start`.
## Testing
- Cover realtime startup on forked and cold-resumed threads with the legacy setting absent, disabled, or enabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: d9cd9aa3898d1c2efb9414a8f40c86be8951e210
## Why
Reasoning configuration changes need to retain their position and trusted provenance when model history is persisted and replayed. Client-injected history must not be able to forge these controls.
## What changed
- Add a typed `configuration_update` response item carrying reasoning effort, including custom model-defined values.
- Persist harness-authored updates with provenance and preserve them across history reconstruction, thread resume, raw response notifications, and agent forks.
- Exclude untrusted configuration updates from model history, strip client-supplied provenance metadata, and reject configuration updates supplied as turn input.
- Export the new item through the JSON and TypeScript app-server schemas and classify it in telemetry and persistence metrics.
## Testing
- Cover serialization, provenance persistence, history filtering and rollback, resume reconstruction, and injection attempts before and after restart.
GitOrigin-RevId: eb5559d2b52b7a931621e7c9812f009ff9fb8939
## What changed
- Add the top-level `thread_unload_delay_secs` configuration key for the
app-server, with a 60-second default instead of the previous 30-minute
fixed delay.
- Allow zero-delay unloading and reject values that cannot fit in a
monotonic-clock deadline.
- Reset the unload countdown when a thread gains a subscriber or becomes
active, and preserve active turns even when the configured delay is zero.
- Document that unloading ephemeral threads discards their in-memory state.
## Testing
- Cover configuration parsing, defaults, overrides, and overflow rejection.
- Cover unsubscribe, resubscribe, delayed and immediate unloading,
notifications, persisted-thread resume, and WebSocket disconnect behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: edd46f6b49bbdafbf606bff74378e8f569e95977
## What changed
- Add nullable `model` and `reasoningEffort` fields to the shared app-server `Thread` object and generated schemas.
- Report current settings for loaded threads and the latest persisted settings for unloaded threads across thread read, list, start, resume, rollback, metadata update, and notification paths.
- Keep unavailable legacy or filesystem-only settings nullable, and allow metadata reads without loading a thread or dispatching queued work.
## Testing
- Cover live-setting precedence, persisted settings after restart, null legacy values, and model metadata returned by thread lifecycle operations.
GitOrigin-RevId: 22ebe8a8d1910a820d90a97730d812a00d8c1372
## What changed
- Add `approvalsReviewer` to the experimental `turn/settings/update` API.
- Apply reviewer changes to subsequently captured steps and new background approval requests while preserving pending approvals and future-thread defaults.
- Allow reviewer-only updates without `step_model_switching`, while continuing to enforce managed reviewer restrictions and model-required auto review.
- Use an explicit live reviewer update for MCP approvals while retaining refreshed thread defaults for clients that have not set one.
## Testing
- Cover switching between user and automatic review during a live turn, future-turn isolation, and managed-authority rejection.
GitOrigin-RevId: e1216b09c6a7972c2c9eaf4955d8d57d60604ca1
## Why
Realtime history should be recorded consistently for every Core host, including
when no app-server event listener is attached.
## What changed
- Move transcript segmentation, session boundaries, and backing-agent artifact
promotion into Core for paginated threads.
- Persist canonical realtime items through the thread store in event order and
emit dedicated history lifecycle events for hosts to present.
- Translate those Core events into the existing app-server realtime item
notifications without app-server persisting the items a second time.
## Testing
- Cover Core-only persistence across repeated sessions, ephemeral sessions,
accepted and rejected steering, typed input ordering, and artifact promotion.
- Verify app-server notifications correspond to the persisted timeline.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7cbef14129d77f6d6d7099b733be91f5279c55f5
## What changed
- Add an in-process `sideband_base_url` override to `ConversationStartTransport::ExistingCall`, while keeping app-server requests on the configured or default endpoint.
- Prefer the per-call endpoint when attaching and reconnecting a sideband, falling back to `experimental_realtime_ws_base_url` when no override is supplied.
- Preserve runtime authentication headers on the selected endpoint without adding bearer authorization.
## Testing
- Cover configured and per-call endpoint selection, authentication headers, call-specific handshake paths, and reconnect behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16c439fe0a9ff8bcdda4ec615bb9983e30935052
## What changed
- Add an optional `toolOutput` to `turn/start` for starting or steering a turn with a named function-call output instead of user input.
- Emit standalone outputs as `functionCallOutput` thread items, persist them in durable history, and include them in resumed threads.
- Validate that tool outputs have a name, are not combined with nonempty `input`, satisfy the text-size limit, and use supported image URLs.
## Testing
- Cover standalone tool-output notifications, model input, and resumed history in both legacy and paginated history modes.
- Cover the text-size limit for structured tool output.
GitOrigin-RevId: a1eeec7b9b7de67b1a1c5e829a54552b85ec118b
## Why
App-server clients need the explanation and steering instruction returned with a
misalignment policy violation to offer a user-confirmed continuation. Missing or
incomplete details must continue to behave as a terminal block.
## What changed
- Parse optional misalignment classification, explanation, and steering details
from streamed and HTTP Responses errors and propagate them through core errors.
- Include the details in live app-server `error` and `turn/completed` payloads and
export the corresponding protocol schemas and TypeScript types.
- Keep explanations and steering messages out of serialized rollout events and
redact them from debug output.
- Document how clients can resume with `turn/start` after user confirmation.
## Testing
- Cover streamed, HTTP, and WebSocket-wrapped errors, including malformed and
classification-only details.
- Verify live app-server notifications expose resumable details without writing
the explanation or steering message to the rollout.
GitOrigin-RevId: 329258a444c2cd91d0c57ab1720830b33ddcfac5
## What changed
- Add the experimental `turn/start.cyberAccessProgram` option with `standard`,
`daybreakBlue`, and `daybreakRed` values.
- Forward the selection as `access_programs.cyber` on Responses, WebSocket,
and remote-compaction requests made with ChatGPT authentication, while
omitting it for API-key and custom-provider requests.
- Preserve the per-turn selection across recovery, compaction, and child-agent
turns without making it a persistent thread setting.
## Testing
- Cover app-server forwarding, authentication boundaries, WebSocket reuse,
turn recovery, compaction, and child-agent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: d2eb468f365b2214c5099bc21741cf30f8bd2eb5
## What changed
- Add an optional `turnTrigger` field to app-server `turn/start` requests and
expose it in the generated protocol schemas.
- Propagate non-empty trigger values to Responses request metadata as the
reserved `turn_trigger` field, while preserving the original value when a
request steers an active turn.
- Classify turns started by queue dispatch, goal continuation, retry recovery,
and realtime handoff.
## Testing
- Cover HTTP and WebSocket metadata forwarding, steering behavior, reserved
metadata handling, and the built-in trigger classifications.
GitOrigin-RevId: c12fe2c522286db21b76081ae6154fbf6bfb3639
## What changed
- Add the experimental `turn/settings/update` method for changing `model`,
`effort`, `summary`, and `serviceTier` on a specific live turn without
changing future turns.
- Report whether the update was applied or the target turn was unavailable,
and reject unsupported fields, disabled feature use, unsafe model changes,
and direct updates to parent-owned subagents.
- Document the method's feature requirements, null handling, and limits.
## Testing
- Cover current-turn and future-turn isolation, rejected and unavailable
targets, feature and capability gates, saved threads, and subagent ownership.
GitOrigin-RevId: 18440f6d7ee5fcd06ae23bd41b22c492b62bb2b5
## What changed
- Add `serviceTierForTurn` to `turn/start` so a newly started turn can override the service tier without changing the thread's saved tier.
- Treat `"default"` as standard speed and omitted or `null` values as inheriting the thread tier.
- Keep `serviceTier` authoritative for subsequent turns when both fields are supplied, and ignore the turn-scoped override when steering an active turn.
## Testing
- Extend the app-server turn-start test to verify both the one-turn `"default"` override and inheritance on the following turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4c2c4db21d8d31617a7a6e6df65bf54834e72383
## Why
Clients need a bounded view of realtime conversations that preserves the order of speech, agent work, and turn lifecycle events without loading the full thread history.
## What changed
- Persist realtime session boundaries, transcript segments, and promoted agent items in paginated thread rollouts.
- Add the experimental `thread/timeline/list` API to page ordinary items, realtime items, and turn boundaries in canonical rollout order. Include `activeRealtimeSessionAtPageStart` so each page can be rendered independently.
- Emit typed `thread/realtime/item/started`, `thread/realtime/item/transcript/delta`, and `thread/realtime/item/completed` notifications around durable realtime items.
- Keep the existing `thread/items/list` response and legacy thread history behavior unchanged.
## Testing
- Cover mixed timeline pagination, realtime-session state at page boundaries, rollout replay, subagent history prefixes, transcript streaming, steering, and promoted agent artifacts.
GitOrigin-RevId: faa2c420192d63e060e8fb32446e3c797422656e
## Why
Parent-owned Multi-Agent V2 subagents must remain controlled by their parent,
but several app-server endpoints could still mutate them directly.
## What changed
- Centralize the direct-input ownership check and apply it to turn injection,
MCP calls, reviews, compaction, rollback and revert, shell and Guardian
actions, realtime requests, and goal mutations.
- Enforce the same policy for goal mutations on unloaded threads while keeping
goal reads and turn interruption available.
- Document the affected endpoint behavior and continue exposing
`canAcceptDirectInput: false` for parent-owned subagents.
## Testing
- Cover direct-input rejection for both legacy and paginated thread history.
- Cover goal mutation ownership checks for unloaded V2 subagents, V1
subagents, and non-subagent V2 threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 791b7af98490aed5eab4e672b90661acad11ec23
## Why
Clients that create and negotiate realtime calls themselves need Codex to join
those calls without creating another call or overwriting the client-owned
session configuration.
## What changed
- Add the `existingCall` transport to `thread/realtime/start`, accepting a
client-provided `callId` and optional `realtimeSessionId`.
- Attach Codex over the call's sideband WebSocket without SDP negotiation or a
session update, and reconnect that sideband while preserving transcript
state.
- Default existing calls to realtime v1, support v1 and v3, and reject v2 or
options that would reconfigure the client-owned session.
- Encode call IDs as a single URL path segment for v3 sideband connections.
## Testing
Add protocol, app-server, core, reconnection, authentication-header, and URL
encoding coverage for existing-call attachments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2046b70566f98efa55381bb1e461ea3cc68256c5
## What changed
- Apply the existing direct-input restriction to `thread/settings/update` for
parent-owned Multi-Agent V2 subagents.
- Document the restriction and extend the direct-input test to verify that the
request returns an invalid-request error.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2eead01c6f54ec637c68573378f3b56a7ee85652
## Why
Environment-owned permission profiles and workspace roots must remain effective
without being persisted or restored as thread-owned settings.
## What changed
- Keep thread settings snapshots and restore data separate from the effective
configuration supplied by the primary environment.
- Use resolved environment permissions, active profiles, workspace roots, and
network policy when building turn context and session events.
- Preserve environment selections when agents are evicted, resumed, or spawned,
and validate owner configuration when it becomes ready.
- Start memory initialization only after the primary environment is configured.
## Testing
- Extend remote-environment and multi-agent tests to cover settings persistence,
owner permission profiles, workspace roots, spawning, eviction, and resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: d82f126981cd0190233020bbdd61d96c70558868
## What changed
- Track app-server turn lifecycle events for OpenAI API-key sessions when OTLP telemetry export is enabled.
- Query the turn-cost endpoint after completed or aborted turns and emit `codex.turn_cost` with the estimated USD cost, interruption state, model, speed, and reasoning effort.
- Preserve provider organization and project headers, wait for all observed responses to be priced, and retry pending or transiently failed queries with bounded tracking.
- Re-probe availability after authentication changes and shut the worker down with other app-server background tasks.
## Testing
- Cover late API-key login, transient probe failures, telemetry after thread removal, and turns with multiple responses.
- Verify turn-cost requests use API-key authentication and provider scope headers and deserialize priced response data.

## What changed
- Add experimental `thread/queue/add`, `list`, `update`, `delete`, `reorder`, and `start` requests for persistent queued user submissions.
- Automatically dispatch queued submissions in FIFO order after completed or failed turns, while leaving the queue paused after interruption.
- Emit `thread/queue/changed` notifications and expose paginated queue contents with stable submission and client message IDs.
- Export the new protocol types through the generated JSON Schema and TypeScript bindings.
## Testing
- Add app-server integration coverage for capability gating, CRUD, pagination, capacity limits, notifications, automatic dispatch, cold-thread resume, interruption, and explicit queue starts.

## What changed
- Add `TurnInputRequest` and typed submission results for atomically starting a turn, steering the active turn, or declining input with a specific reason.
- Expose `start_or_steer_turn`, `start_turn_if_idle`, and `steer_turn` on `CodexThread`, and migrate Core consumers to these APIs.
- Make app-server `turn/start` steer an active regular turn and return that turn's ID. Reject incompatible output schemas and non-steerable turns without applying settings or enqueueing input.
## Testing
- Cover concurrent start-or-steer submissions, accepted and rejected settings updates, output-schema compatibility, idle-start rejection, and app-server steering.

## Why
App-server clients need to advertise structured MCP extension settings, including supported MCP App UI MIME types, rather than only opting into OpenAI form elicitation with a boolean.
## What changed
- Add an `extensions` map to initialize capabilities and preserve `mcpServerOpenaiFormElicitation` as a legacy alias for `openai/form`.
- Capture the declared extension profile when a thread is started, resumed, or forked, propagate it to subagents, and advertise it to downstream MCP servers during initialization.
- Keep the profile stable for the lifetime of the loaded session instead of changing it on later turns or direct tool calls.
## Testing
- Cover extension conversion, downstream MCP initialization, session isolation, legacy form support, and subagent inheritance.

## What changed
- Add the optional `delegationAckFiller` field to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Forward explicit `true` or `false` values to V3 Frameless Bidi session payloads as `delegation.ack_filler`; leave the field absent when unspecified so the Realtime API default is preserved.
- Document that V1 and V2 ignore this setting.
## Testing
- Cover both boolean values in Frameless Bidi serialization and verify the WebRTC V3 session creation payload.

## What changed
- Add optional `realtimeStartInstructions` and `realtimeEndInstructions` fields to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply the instructions when Codex enters and leaves realtime mode, while preserving the existing defaults when either field is omitted.
- Limit each field to 8,192 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover custom entry and exit instructions across realtime state transitions.
- Cover token-limit validation for both fields.

## What changed
- Send the active turn ID in the `x-codex-image-turn-id` header for image generation and edit requests.
- Add `explicit_client_interrupt_requested_at_ms` to turn analytics. Record the earliest explicit interrupt request that receives a successful response, while excluding rejected requests.
- Track errors returned by `turn/interrupt` so pending analytics state is cleaned up correctly.
## Testing
- Cover turn ID headers for image generation and editing.
- Cover accepted, retried, and rejected explicit interrupt requests in analytics tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 80fe996a161b4952b79c5c38238f75b7661b92af
## What changed
- Wrap `CodexErrorDetails` and an optional retry delay in `CodexErr`, allowing any mapped error to preserve server-provided retry timing.
- Generate the payload-free `CodexErrKind` classification alongside the error details and reuse it for analytics.
- Update error handling sites to inspect `CodexErr::details()` while preserving existing display, debug, protocol mapping, and retryability behavior.
## Testing
- Add coverage for legacy debug formatting, error-specific retryability, and retry-delay propagation through API error mapping.

## What changed
- Route realtime V3 `bemTags` handoffs using `[ANALYSIS]`, `[COMMENTARY]`, and `[FINAL]` prefixes by default.
- Add `codexResponseHandoffChannelPrefixes` to realtime start requests so clients can replace the accepted prefixes for individual channels. Each channel may accept multiple prefixes, and omitted channels retain their defaults.
- Apply the configured prefixes to both complete and streamed handoff messages, without treating empty prefixes as matches.
## Testing
- Cover request deserialization, default and custom routing, partial streamed prefixes, empty-prefix handling, and end-to-end V3 handoffs.

## Why
The first session metadata record defines a rollout's history mode. If that
record uses an unsupported mode, skipping it as a parse error can cause later
metadata copied from fork history to be treated as canonical.
## What changed
- Validate session metadata history modes before deserializing rollout lines,
while continuing to tolerate unknown modes in copied fork history.
- Simplify thread status registration to pass only the thread ID instead of a
fully materialized `Thread`.
