We're trying to migrate from `session_id: Uuid` to `conversation_id:
ConversationId`. Not only does this give us more type safety but it
unifies our terminology across Codex and with the implementation of
session resuming, a conversation (which can span multiple sessions) is
more appropriate.
I started this impl on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3219 as part
of getting resume working in the extension but it's big enough that it
should be broken out.
This updates the ctrl + c behavior to clear the current prompt if there
is text and you press ctrl + c.
I also updated the ctrl + c hint text to show `^c to interrupt` instead
of `^c to quit` if there is an active conversation.
Two things I don't love:
1. You can currently interrupt a conversation with escape or ctrl + c
(not related to this PR and maybe fine)
2. The bottom row hint text always says `^c to quit` but this PR doesn't
really make that worse.

No more picking out version numbers by hand! Now we let the script do
it:
```
$ ./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release --dry-run --publish-alpha
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases/latest
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases?per_page=100
Publishing version 0.31.0-alpha.3
$ ./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release --dry-run --publish-release
Running gh api GET /repos/openai/codex/releases/latest
Publishing version 0.31.0

What
- Show compact elapsed time in the TUI status indicator: Xs, MmSSs,
HhMMmSSs.
- Add private helper fmt_elapsed_compact with a unit test.
Why
- Seconds‑only becomes hard to read during longer runs; minutes/hours
improve clarity without extra noise.
How
- Implemented in codex-rs/tui/src/status_indicator_widget.rs only.
- The helper is used when rendering the existing “Working/Thinking”
timer.
- No changes to codex-common::elapsed::format_duration or other crates.
Scope/Impact
- TUI‑only; no public API changes; minimal risk.
- Snapshot tests should remain unchanged (most show “0s”).
Before/After
- Working (65s • Esc to interrupt) → Working (1m05s • Esc to interrupt)
- Working (3723s • …) → Working (1h02m03s • …)
Tests
- Unit: fmt_elapsed_compact_formats_seconds_minutes_hours.
- Local checks: cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy -p codex-tui -- -D
warnings, cargo test -p codex-tui.
Notes
- Open to adjusting the exact format or moving the helper if maintainers
prefer a shared location.

This PR addresses an issue that several users have reported. If the
local oauth login server in one codex instance is left running (e.g. the
user abandons the oauth flow), a subsequent codex instance will receive
an error when attempting to log in because the localhost port is already
in use by the dangling web server from the first instance.
This PR adds a cancelation mechanism that the second instance can use to
abort the first login attempt and free up the port.
When item ids are sent to Responses API it will load them from the
database ignoring the provided values. This adds extra latency.
Not having the mode to store requests also allows us to simplify the
code.
## Breaking change
The `disable_response_storage` configuration option is removed.
i'm not yet convinced i have the best heuristics for what to highlight,
but this feels like a useful step towards something a bit easier to
read, esp. when the model is producing large commands.

also a fairly significant refactor of our line wrapping logic.
TuiEvent is supposed to be purely events that come from the "driver",
i.e. events from the terminal. Everything app-specific should be an
AppEvent. In this case, it didn't need to be an event at all.
This PR introduces introduces a new
`OutgoingMessage::AppServerNotification` variant that is designed to
wrap a `ServerNotification`, which makes the serialization more
straightforward compared to
`OutgoingMessage::Notification(OutgoingNotification)`. We still use the
latter for serializing an `Event` as a `JSONRPCMessage::Notification`,
but I will try to get away from that in the near future.
With this change, now the generated TypeScript type for
`ServerNotification` is:
```typescript
export type ServerNotification =
| { "method": "authStatusChange", "params": AuthStatusChangeNotification }
| { "method": "loginChatGptComplete", "params": LoginChatGptCompleteNotification };
```
whereas before it was:
```typescript
export type ServerNotification =
| { type: "auth_status_change"; data: AuthStatusChangeNotification }
| { type: "login_chat_gpt_complete"; data: LoginChatGptCompleteNotification };
```
Once the `Event`s are migrated to the `ServerNotification` enum in Rust,
it should be considerably easier to work with notifications on the
TypeScript side, as it will be possible to `switch (message.method)` and
check for exhaustiveness.
Though we will probably need to introduce:
```typescript
export type ServerMessage = ServerRequest | ServerNotification;
```
and then we still need to group all of the `ServerResponse` types
together, as well.
#### Summary
- Emit a “Proposed Command” history cell when an ExecApprovalRequest
arrives (parity with proposed patches).
- Simplify the approval dialog: show only the reason/instructions; move
the command preview into history.
- Make approval/abort decision history concise:
- Single line snippet; if multiline, show first line + " ...".
- Truncate to 80 graphemes with ellipsis for very long commands.
#### Details
- History
- Add `new_proposed_command` to render a header and indented command
preview.
- Use shared `prefix_lines` helper for first/subsequent line prefixes.
- Approval UI
- `UserApprovalWidget` no longer renders the command in the modal; shows
optional `reason` text only.
- Decision history renders an inline, dimmed snippet per rules above.
- Tests (snapshot-based)
- Proposed/decision flow for short command.
- Proposed multi-line + aborted decision snippet with “ ...”.
- Very long one-line command -> truncated snippet with “…”.
- Updated existing exec approval snapshots and test reasons.

We had multiple issues with context size calculation:
1. `initial_prompt_tokens` calculation based on cache size is not
reliable, cache misses might set it to much higher value. For now
hardcoded to a safer constant.
2. Input context size for GPT-5 is 272k (that's where 33% came from).
Fixes.
## Summary
Follow-up to #3056
This PR updates the mcp-server interface for reading the config settings
saved by the user. At risk of introducing _another_ Config struct, I
think it makes sense to avoid tying our protocol to ConfigToml, as its
become a bit unwieldy. GetConfigTomlResponse was a de-facto struct for
this already - better to make it explicit, in my opinion.
This is technically a breaking change of the mcp-server protocol, but
given the previous interface was introduced so recently in #2725, and we
have not yet even started to call it, I propose proceeding with the
breaking change - but am open to preserving the old endpoint.
## Testing
- [x] Added additional integration test coverage
Clarifies codex-rs testing approvals in AGENTS.md:
- Allow running project-specific or individual tests without asking.
- Require asking before running the complete test suite.
- Keep `just fmt` always allowed without approval.
