## What changed
- Align task titles, status, and relative update times in columns, hiding metadata at narrow widths. Highlight the full selected row and show explicit empty states.
- Share grouped row layout between rendering and paging so `PageUp` and `PageDown` move by the visible viewport, account for group headings, and stop at either end. Support paging while searching.
- Show filtered group counts, shorten long project paths, and indicate additional rows above or below the viewport.
- Display system errors as `Error` and unloaded tasks as `Inactive` instead of `Finished`.
## Testing
Add a column-layout snapshot and paging regression coverage for short lists, multiple project groups, filtered tasks during reconnection, and boundary clamping. Update existing command center snapshots for the new layout and labels.
GitOrigin-RevId: b2bfaf26a48f7a02a48be6e1499357a79c09cede
## Why
Voice meters and partial user transcripts continued updating with `tui.animations = false`.
## What changed
- Hide microphone and speaker meter histories when animations are disabled, and size the composer to fit the remaining voice controls.
- Keep partial user transcripts out of the conversation until finalized while preserving transcript tracking and final history entries.
- Skip footer updates caused solely by audio meter changes when animations are disabled, while retaining speaker activity transitions.
## Testing
Update transcript, replay, and rendering tests to cover hidden partial transcripts and finalized history. Adjust voice composer snapshots and clipped-layout coverage for the reduced height.
GitOrigin-RevId: fb1939d6d8b3edc60fdd0a33ba7798d37bd9337c
## What changed
Replace `tui.whimsy` with `[tui.effects]` preferences for `starfield`, `shimmer`, `welcome`, `effort`, `progress`, and `title`. Each defaults to `true` and remains subordinate to the `tui.animations` master switch.
Wire the preferences into composer effects, welcome artwork, status and loading text, progress indicators, and terminal-title animations. For example, disable shimmering text while keeping progress animations:
```toml
[tui.effects]
shimmer = false
```
Keep retired `tui.whimsy` entries loadable but ignore their value. Update the configuration schema to expose the new preferences.
## Testing
Add and extend coverage for independent shimmer and progress effects, master-switch precedence, welcome and starfield controls, terminal-title blinking, and strict configuration loading with the retired setting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 28b37ba52872133b8954543cabe9ff424147f1c5
## What changed
- Render a rotating Codex logo in unused space above the composer on fresh conversations, without moving content or the cursor.
- Fade and pause the logo while drafting or unfocused, hide it on alternate views, and dismiss it after submission or conversation activity. Respect disabled animations and stop after three rotations with a fade out.
- Replace the onboarding ASCII frame variants with the shared logo renderer, retaining a faded logo after the animation ends and allowing the existing shortcut to replay it.
## Testing
Add rendering and integration tests for logo placement, visibility, pause/resume timing, completion, and preservation of the draft, cursor, header, and footer. Add snapshots for fresh conversations and the onboarding welcome layout.
GitOrigin-RevId: b98c7dd10acea3ef25d6c1495ed22c24202d6280
## Why
Keep diagnostics accessible without adding warning rows to the live conversation or changing the composer layout.
## What changed
- Show a deduplicated warning count in the passive footer, yielding to interactive hints.
- Open warning details with `F2`, `/warnings`, or a click on the warning notice. Support navigation, scrolling, and copying individual diagnostics while preserving the draft.
- Retain startup, runtime, MCP, and deprecation diagnostics in the full transcript. Group MCP details by server and preserve warnings during replay.
- Respect existing custom bindings and chord prefixes when enabling `F2`.
- Show an immediate explanation when `/pets` is unavailable.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for warning counts, draft preservation, viewer navigation and copying, narrow layouts, terminal scrollback, and keybinding conflicts.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2bc586430da60347cfbaa5bf128bc48f7f9dc777
## Why
The startup composer accepted edits but ignored submission. Its first frame also preceded configured screen settings, and startup failures could leave typed text unavailable.
## What changed
- Honor configured submit bindings during startup, retaining one confirmation until the session and protected input screens are ready. Repeated submit keys do not duplicate the message; edits, `Esc`, disconnects, or destination changes cancel confirmation while preserving the draft.
- Apply local screen, status-line, keymap, and paste settings before the first editable frame. Anchor the composer at the bottom in owned-screen mode and retain the loading frame until resumed history is ready to render.
- Keep an in-memory recovery copy through submission acknowledgment. On startup failure, restore the terminal before printing unsent text, expanding paste placeholders and escaping terminal control characters.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for deferred single submission, configured key chords, cancellation, protected input, paste handling, draft recovery, initial screen settings, and loading-frame handoff, plus a startup layout snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1eb4c63027f7d59af5d42d8545cd5cb5c3594306
## Why
Composer suggestions and transient hints should preserve the draft and transcript context. Submitting a local command while reading older history should reveal its output.
## What changed
- Separate persistent status from transient footer hints in the owned transcript, sharing layout calculations for rendering, measurement, and cursor placement.
- Overlay command and mention suggestions on history without moving the composer; hide retained suggestions while transcript interactions own input.
- Show responsive, grouped shortcut help above the composer and let `Esc` dismiss it before interrupting a task or navigating history.
- Resume transcript following for submissions, slash commands, and last-response copy results while preserving the reading position during background updates.
- Reset transcript interaction state after prompt reverts and refresh retained usage information without rewriting terminal history.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for popup placement, clipped layouts, footer focus, shortcut dismissal, local-command scrolling, prompt reverts, and pagination while browsing prompts.
GitOrigin-RevId: 890147313d53f050503165a57610c381ffb93ef5
## What changed
- Make double `Esc` enter compact prompt browsing in the owned transcript view and inline overlay. Use left/right arrows to select prompts, up/down arrows to scroll, `Ctrl+T` to toggle details, and `Enter` to rewind and edit. `Esc` cancels browsing and restores the original reading position and presentation.
- Add a responsive browsing footer, a pinned prompt header for answer context, and contextual composer tips that respect `show_tooltips` and configured shortcuts.
- Load older history as prompt navigation needs it, preserve the selected prompt across pagination, and resolve rewind requests by cell identity. Reject remote prompt restoration when it contains local image paths or command syntax.
- Bound initial owned-transcript history loading to a budget of three screenfuls plus an item scan limit, independently of terminal scrollback settings.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for browsing, rewind, cancellation after resize and pagination, custom key bindings, search and selection precedence, offline input, prompt headers, composer tips, and history hydration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1d9ef7b627f47c3def43e7aee7148b5909f6d357
## What changed
- Add incremental, case-insensitive literal search across transcript details, loading older history as needed. Use `F3` to start Find, or `/` in the transcript pager, and navigate matches in either direction. Closing Find restores the previous presentation and reading position.
- Add clickable activity detail controls and `F4` keyboard focus for inspecting individual activity groups in the owned transcript. Preserve expansion state as live activity becomes history.
- Expose configurable `global.find_transcript`, `global.focus_activity`, and `pager.find` bindings under `tui.keymap`. Let new defaults yield to existing custom bindings and show available completions for pending chords.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for Unicode matching, bounded scanning, paginated and changing history, selection during search, composer input isolation, activity controls, and custom shortcut conflicts.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5bcbcdfbca7c5c296c635ec9b079ccd7a908e336
## What changed
- Render transcript history and live output above the composer when `features.transcript_v2` is enabled and alternate-screen rendering is available. Handle scrolling, selection, copying, links, and older-history pagination in the main view.
- Add a clickable return-to-latest control with new-activity hints and temporary clipboard status. Let plain Enter return to latest when the composer is empty.
- Reflow retained transcript content during drawing and preserve the launch-selected screen mode across configuration reloads and session transitions, including `--no-alt-screen` restrictions.
- Enter the alternate screen with its first synchronized frame, and box CLI startup futures to reduce stack usage during session transitions.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for transcript layout, input routing, follow controls, clipboard status, and screen-mode persistence. Add a PTY test for the first alternate-screen frame and clean exit, and extend session-transition coverage through the CLI dispatcher.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1daf077826c7744b0f57399d10d159923dc87a97
## What changed
- Add mouse selection, word and line selection, drag autoscrolling, and keyboard selection with `Ctrl+Space`. Support copying selected text and opening links with a modified click.
- Anchor reading positions and selections to source text so resizing, streaming completion, and history pagination preserve the displayed content. Preserve hard line breaks, indentation, tabs, and graphemes when copying, while excluding display gutters and soft wraps.
- Rejoin activity groups split across history pages while retaining the reader's displayed revision.
- Distinguish confirmed clipboard writes from unconfirmed terminal requests, and retain native clipboard ownership after the transcript overlay closes.
- Manage mouse capture and keyboard modes across overlay transitions, editor handoffs, and suspend/resume.
## Testing
Add regression tests for selection during live updates and pagination, source-text copying across resize, clipboard confirmation and lifetime, and terminal mode restoration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6b2438f576567cbba755b2405915a25acf009b8d
## Why
The TUI ignored dynamic tool items, and replayed tool activity could differ from live output. Concurrent tool completion also needs to preserve transcript order when writing to terminal scrollback.
## What changed
- Retain dynamic tool rows, update them when calls finish out of order, and mark unfinished calls interrupted when a turn ends.
- Queue terminal output behind unfinished dynamic tools and drain settled rows in bounded batches. Preserve queued output through stream consolidation, resize, and rollback without emitting it twice.
- Align replayed file changes, MCP results, and exploration groups with live rendering. Keep hidden reasoning and terminal interaction details within compatible activity groups, and preserve finalized plan fragments.
- Ignore stale history-page responses, bound turn metadata requests to missing turns, and insert older history after session headers. Keep hidden review prompts as activity-group boundaries.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for out-of-order tool completion, interruption, ordered scrollback emission, rollback, deferred usage updates, replay consistency, overlapping history, and repeated hidden prompts.
GitOrigin-RevId: a3636cfcf4c9c43a0a5bc52a842b80a7834f1409
## Why
Pressing `Home` while older transcript history is loading leaves a pending jump to the beginning. Subsequent navigation should supersede that jump so arriving history does not override the user's new reading position.
## What changed
Cancel the pending jump when scrolling, jumping to the latest entry, or navigating prompts in the read-only transcript viewer. Keep the in-flight history page by switching from `LoadingBeginning` to `LoadingOlder`. Handle navigation before the first draw as well as after rendering, while preserving pending jumps during passive highlight restoration.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for navigation after `Home` before and after the first draw, checking that arriving older history preserves the expected viewport. Extend prompt backtracking tests to verify that navigation clears the pending jump.
GitOrigin-RevId: 438c3289afee2719655b11dbc43a3ccb006a5fa3
## Why
Transcript-wide row offsets depend on content that can change during pagination, streaming, and resizing. Computing an exact scroll percentage also requires laying out offscreen history.
## What changed
- Replace the transcript overlay's generic pager with `TranscriptView`, tracking entry identity and a display-row offset through history updates and stream consolidation. Clamp offsets within the entry on resize or replacement.
- Render through bounded layout caches and show `100%` only when following the latest output with no unloaded history.
- Keep the reading position while `Home` loads older pages, then jump to the beginning when loading completes.
- Refresh animations whenever live output is visible, including while scrolled up.
- Reveal selected prompts when backtracking and highlight their text without reversing gutters or padding.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for reading anchors across pagination and live-output completion, resize and consolidation, prompt visibility and highlighting, navigation before the first draw, and avoiding offscreen formatting for the percentage indicator.
GitOrigin-RevId: 105cb66f93c742ee537152419060a87f55896b44
## Why
The transcript overlay separately generated cell content for height measurement and rendering. Active cells backed by external state could also leave the live tail stale when their revision key did not change.
## What changed
- Share retained text layouts between measurement and painting, and render only visible rows while preserving wrapping, styles, and hyperlinks.
- Reuse stable layouts across frames, invalidating them when width, animation, syntax theme, or terminal colors change. Bound retention by entry count and text size, allowing a single oversized entry.
- Refresh externally mutable cells each frame and bypass live-tail reuse when any active source is not cacheable.
## Testing
Add coverage for layout reuse, eviction, invalidation, and live-tail refresh without a revision change. Expand the transcript snapshot to cover styled text, wide glyphs, wrapping, and hyperlinks.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7dfb737e762f7f056a38774d956f618090809a62
## What changed
Move `TranscriptOverlay` from `pager_overlay.rs` into
`pager_overlay/transcript.rs`, preserving its implementation and re-exporting
it from `pager_overlay`.
Move transcript tests into `pager_overlay/transcript_tests.rs`, attach the
highlight tests to the new module, and update snapshot names and source paths.
GitOrigin-RevId: ff8e78e7a5d7cca86fdd0ab10b41156b04350a82
## Why
Persisted transcripts rendered tool calls individually and displayed reasoning differently from live replay. Enabling raw reasoning also replaced the summary instead of retaining it.
## What changed
- Group computer activity and compatible exploration commands across intervening reasoning, retaining details for the expanded transcript. Respect visible content, command failure boundaries, and turn boundaries.
- Separate paginated history at every turn boundary before filtering hidden items, while adding completion metadata only for successful turns.
- Keep persisted reasoning out of the compact display, preserve hyperlinks in detailed rendering, and append enabled raw reasoning to the summary. Preserve standalone reasoning Markdown in transcript exports.
- Add helpers to rejoin activity groups and attach reasoning across page boundaries using persisted item identities and turn adjacency.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for reasoning replay parity, computer groups split across history pages, turn boundaries, and grouped terminal input. Update export and raw-reasoning tests to verify retained summaries and Markdown.
GitOrigin-RevId: a716db571440f891cc2c6894ae93fbe0e149aed4
## Why
Loaded transcripts reduce several tool calls and file changes to basic status summaries, losing details available in live history cells.
## What changed
- Reuse rich history cells for completed commands, MCP calls, patches, agent activity, image generation, and notices.
- Add dynamic tool cells with bounded output previews while retaining arguments and full output in detailed and raw views.
- Preserve last-known statuses for incomplete calls, unavailable results, and declined or failed operations. Keep legacy command text and terminal interaction output when rich reconstruction is unavailable.
- Remove redundant move annotations from patch diffs and retain patch activity IDs.
- Filter untrusted control characters before emitting terminal scrollback, while preserving semantic hyperlinks.
## Testing
Add unit and snapshot coverage for compact and detailed tool rendering, status fallbacks, retained output, patch restoration, and control-character filtering with and without hyperlinks.
GitOrigin-RevId: 73d754262768cf6d91f3ea4040116bf93cf87784
## What changed
- Add compact renderers for commands, MCP calls, computer activity, patches, and plans, with bounded previews and retained transcript details.
- Preserve logical source text, styles, and hyperlink metadata across wrapping so transcript copying can exclude display gutters while retaining meaningful labels. Wrap diff text at grapheme boundaries.
- Add activity identities, ordered detail retention, and deduplicated warning metadata to history cells.
- Hide background terminal interaction notices from chat while retaining them in the transcript, and keep local image-only user messages visible without duplicating image placeholders.
## Testing
Add regression and snapshot coverage for compact previews, retained patch diagnostics, wrapped source text and hyperlinks, question-and-answer labels, and local image placeholders.
GitOrigin-RevId: fd82fadd8ed3418eaba2bc74c4327d9c63d7e997
## Why
Display wrapping removes whitespace and adds gutters, so rendered rows alone cannot reliably describe the original logical text. Streaming previews also need to detect source changes that leave visible rows unchanged.
## What changed
- Retain shared logical text, styles, exact byte ranges, and display margins alongside wrapped rows; remap hyperlinks using those ranges.
- Preserve source metadata through prompt, Markdown, and prefixed history rendering, including spoken artifact annotations. Clear it when split-flap animation replaces the text.
- Include source metadata when comparing streaming previews and agent or plan tails.
- Keep compound graphemes intact, preserve explicit span styles, and reuse first-fit wrapping results when safe.
- Use the lighter history prompt background for submitted messages.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for source ranges and styles across widths and gutters, distinct repeated lines, source-only streaming updates, compound graphemes, and equivalence between reused and generic wrapping results. Extend Markdown, spoken artifact, and animation tests to check retained source metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9e60746642fc9a8f91c1abfe7c77eefc1fe421ab
## What changed
- Remove the legacy selection-list appearance and use shared full-width selection, filled tabs, wrapped hints, and separate overflow rows throughout.
- Give resume and fork pickers separate toolbar and search rows. Collapse spacing on short screens, keep the focused toolbar control visible on narrow screens, and prioritize labeled primary actions in the footer.
- Apply shared selection styling and contrast-aware text colors to session rows and metadata. Clear inherited selection colors and reversal from the transcript loading overlay.
- Preserve clipped-header notices alongside results in small approval dialogs.
## Testing
Add rendering assertions and snapshots for session selection contrast, reversed selection, loading overlay styles, compact metadata and action labels, and keyboard-focused toolbar visibility. Extend approval clipping snapshots to shorter terminal heights.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6e34b14f5528baf33e97ff6cf746107a1bbe69ab
## Why
Prompt layouts use inconsistent selection styles, and long content can crowd out choices and keyboard hints in small terminals.
## What changed
- Apply shared picker surfaces, selection highlights, accent colors, and shortcut styling across approval, question, startup, and session prompts.
- Reuse numbered picker rows with wrapping and selected-item visibility. Bound folder paths to preserve trust disclosures and choices, prioritizing the repository root when space is limited.
- Give multiline prompts a shared layout for rendering and cursor placement, with Escape hints that reflect Vim mode.
- Present local providers as vertical choices with inline status, adding arrow-key and `j`/`k` navigation plus `1`/`2` selection shortcuts.
## Testing
Add snapshots and regression tests for narrow and short viewports, long trust paths, multiline cursor placement after resizing, selection styling, provider shortcuts, and confirmation behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 89bb133dfa0d085d568a3a84473afd9e2fb20838
## Why
Narrow completion popups can hide distinguishing filenames, parent paths, or category tags. Unified mentions also need a stable result viewport across searches and filters.
## What changed
- Use shared selection styling and `›` markers across command, file, skill, and unified mention popups.
- Give unified mentions a fixed-height picker layout with a header, filter tabs, query display, scroll indicators, and keyboard hints.
- Bound mention name columns to leave room for parent paths and measure alignment in terminal cells.
- Truncate file paths while retaining filenames and recalculating visible fuzzy highlights, preserving the full path for insertion.
- Keep category tags visible when skill and app descriptions are hidden.
## Testing
Add snapshots and assertions for narrow and clipped layouts, scrolling, empty filters, full-row selection styling, Unicode column alignment, long paths, preserved file selections, and category tags.
GitOrigin-RevId: 54c34cc2472b43bac22011206efed3041eb77308
## What changed
- Apply shared picker styling to apps, plugins, settings, skills, hooks, and multi-select views, with full-width selection highlights and compact key hints.
- Share row measurement and layout helpers, show scroll indicators, and let optional spacing yield on short screens to keep selected rows visible.
- Wrap headers and footers, simplify search fields, and use a compact hooks event table at narrow widths.
- Reserve plugin result rows while filtering and cap the plugin name column width.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for selected rows in short multi-select views, compact hooks navigation, and checkbox, preview, and overflow rendering. Extend experimental-feature and memory-reset wrapping snapshots to narrower widths and update affected popup snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0eedbbff307c84cc858629e578091bbbd59b2423
## Why
Menu layouts and hints vary across TUI flows, and mismatched measurement and rendering widths can clip subsequent choices when descriptions wrap.
## What changed
- Apply shared picker styling across selection menus, with stable columns, descriptions hidden when space is tight, and compact hints derived from configured key bindings.
- Measure rows at their actual rendering width, including caller insets, so wrapped options receive enough space.
- Wrap model menu headers and shortcut capture content, and use the shared panel surface for shortcut capture.
- Indicate clipped headers in non-searchable menus and show the configured `view all` shortcut only when the view supplies one.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for wrapping boundaries, narrow picker layouts, configured selection and cancellation keys, and clipped approval headers. Verify that copy/export actions retain complete payloads and composer drafts.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8416bcd3c66b6cd15db3f9c1804f5f005b7964c1
## Why
Theme colors and dimmed text can lose contrast against terminal and shaded backgrounds. Pickers also need to keep controls and the selected result visible when space is limited.
## What changed
- Add shared blue accents and contrast-aware foregrounds that account for painted backgrounds and terminal color depth, with terminal-default fallbacks for limited palettes.
- Apply readable colors to footer text, status lines, prompt attachment labels, and diff content. Remove dimming from syntax-highlighted diff text so it does not undo contrast correction.
- Use compact shortcut labels such as `ctrl+c`, emphasize complete key combinations, and separate composer footer actions with ` · `.
- Add an opt-in picker presentation with full-width selection, filled tabs, separate overflow indicators, and navigation based on visible rows. Enable it for `/keymap`, reserving result space to keep controls stable across filtering and tab changes.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for contrast after palette conversion, shaded diff backgrounds, shortcut typography, picker resizing and pagination, Unicode tab truncation, and stable `/keymap` geometry.
GitOrigin-RevId: f3c71879d3bcc4e3b29d70e63cf377dea5914916
## Why
Server version notices previously required both versions to be stable releases, leaving prerelease and local clients without notices about differing background services.
## What changed
- Use semantic version parsing to distinguish older servers from version mismatches.
- Compare stable clients against older releases, including prereleases. Compare prerelease clients by precedence within the same release line and report other release lines as different.
- Report differing versions for local clients (`0.0.0` or versions with build metadata). Ignore malformed versions.
- Show the corresponding `older than` or `different from` notice and `<` or `≠` overview indicator, while preserving `/daemon` guidance and the `show_server_version_notice` setting.
## Testing
Add version-policy tests and notice snapshots covering prerelease ordering, local builds, mismatches, and malformed versions. Add daemon tests for notice suppression and manual update guidance without scheduling an update.
GitOrigin-RevId: 29df4713a7dbcbddcf30d56995a8496e7e8d0c6a
## What changed
Reduce the initial recent-session seed from 20 to 10, alongside loaded sessions. Use a shared `RECENT_SESSION_LIMIT` for pagination, collection, and final truncation.
## Testing
Update the overview test for the 10-session limit and add a snapshot of the recent-session list after restart.
GitOrigin-RevId: f315f4848e8d2091eb229cfdc3c02932aaf7ba8c
## What changed
Send an `async-question` notification when new unanswered questions arrive, honoring existing notification settings and taking priority over turn completion. Show a shortened question title for a single question or a count for a batch. Empty batches, duplicate deliveries, and replayed history do not trigger notifications.
## Testing
Add tests covering live arrival, replay and duplicate suppression, notification settings, priority over turn completion, batch summaries, and long-title truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 205dc3ff5461c2166159af5143b0ca7279a87f42
## What changed
Set `turn_trigger` to `exec` for exec turns and `user` for TUI turns when sending `turn/start` requests.
## Testing
Extend exec resume and embedded TUI tests to check `x-codex-turn-metadata`, including thread IDs, the TUI turn ID, and the expected triggers. Update the active-turn steering test to verify that user steering preserves the original `goal` trigger.
GitOrigin-RevId: 56125f64b5c47e7c538663d748b3a5f404e68316
## Why
An unavailable thread blocked slash commands even while the server remained connected, preventing users from starting or resuming a conversation and accessing local commands.
## What changed
- Allow explicitly supported recovery and local commands, including `/new`, `/clear`, `/resume`, `/status`, and `/copy`, through configured submit keys when the current thread is unavailable.
- Keep other drafts and attachments intact, require commands to occupy a single line, and expand collapsed pastes without dispatching them on the same keypress. Disconnected input remains restricted to editing.
- Clear stale review and MCP startup activity and recover prompts awaiting turn start into the retained input queue so recovery commands can proceed.
## Testing
Add composer and app tests for command routing, custom submit bindings, blocked draft preservation, paste expansion, and `/new` and `/clear` creating writable sessions despite stale activity.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2f5589d615276eb50c69490829dc042bba3f12a9
## Why
Reasoning summaries need to retain their position among computer actions and exploration commands, including when they arrive before a running call completes.
## What changed
Share ordered call and reasoning storage through `ActivityGroup` and let history cells accept reasoning through `append_reasoning`. Computer activity and exploration groups now retain reasoning while calls are running, showing it in order in the expanded transcript while keeping compact previews and raw output free of reasoning.
## Testing
Add regression snapshots for reasoning during a follow-up exploration command and for computer activity with multiple intervening and trailing summaries. Verify identical live and replayed computer activity across compact, expanded, and raw output.
GitOrigin-RevId: 92607b38fd4b0379616c1ae50b5da1068c8534c3
## What changed
- Remove the private-desktop opt-out from elevated and unelevated Windows sandbox launches.
- Remove `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` and its managed requirement and API fields. Warn users to remove the obsolete setting.
- Require a private desktop name when launching through the Windows sandbox wrapper and command runner.
## Testing
Add coverage for the obsolete-setting migration warning and update wrapper tests to verify a live private desktop is passed and a missing desktop name is rejected.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7135f8d211aac8d812180691c2c1e433d77cde4
## What changed
Add an optional `onboardingSkill` summary to `plugin/read` responses and update the generated schemas, TypeScript types, and Python models.
- Resolve local declarations from `extensions["com.openai"].onboardingSkill`, accepting relative paths with or without `./`. Require the resolved path to stay within the plugin root and match a loaded skill.
- Match remote release metadata's `onboarding_skill_name` against the plugin's skills.
- Return the summary only when the plugin and matching visible skill are enabled; remote plugins must also be available. Otherwise, return `null`.
## Testing
Add parameterized local and remote `plugin/read` tests covering matching, missing, and unmatched declarations, disabled plugins and skills, and unavailable remote plugins.
GitOrigin-RevId: 88cabdfddbecba5efba756617da0cb1ff064bdf7
## What changed
Default `model_reasoning_summary` to `none` instead of `detailed` when starting a new TUI thread, while preserving explicit settings. Enabling `features.concurrent_reasoning_summaries` alone no longer enables summaries.
## Testing
Update thread configuration and embedded app-server request tests to cover the disabled default, explicit summary settings, and concurrent summary delivery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16b0711d92c28944afd6bc85d44a9de0282a6533
## Why
Memory consolidation and ephemeral title generation need to use their selected request-level reasoning effort even when managed settings enable reasoning-effort overrides.
## What changed
- Exempt current and legacy memory consolidation sessions and ephemeral `thread_title` threads from reasoning-effort overrides.
- Tag temporary title threads with `thread_title` and keep them excluded from agents overview refreshes. Recap threads retain the `system` tag.
- Preserve override behavior for persisted `thread_title` threads and other ephemeral threads.
## Testing
Extend regression coverage to verify request effort, omission of effort updates from exempt workers' requests, preservation of inherited history, title thread tagging, and overview filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8dbc2eb13509f9c80f90d5798a56ea33fad2a0bc
## Why
Feature overrides previously forced embedded mode even when they could work with the shared daemon. A running daemon can also have different feature settings from the current invocation, including when the invocation uses defaults.
## What changed
- Allow selected Boolean feature overrides and `suppress_unstable_features_warning` in daemon mode. Keep explicit overrides that disable shared services in embedded mode.
- Pass shared-service feature overrides to newly launched daemons and persist them for restarts and updates without changing a running daemon's settings.
- Check daemon feature settings with `experimentalFeature/list` before attaching. Warn and fall back to embedded mode on mismatches, failed checks, or an incompatible code-mode host fallback policy. Skip this check for the agents overview.
- Resolve worktree configuration before daemon selection and allow worktree sessions to auto-start the daemon.
- Forward `suppress_unstable_features_warning` in thread configuration overrides.
## Testing
Add coverage for override eligibility and precedence, launch-feature persistence and reuse, and TUI fallback warnings for feature and host-policy mismatches. Extend worktree integration coverage to exercise daemon auto-start and warning suppression.
GitOrigin-RevId: 68c316f74843b1dfd8fa39bdb48bd1f649fee57f
## Why
The test launches a real shell, but its fixture uses a working directory that does not exist on clean runners. Waiting only for a turn-start notification also does not establish that the shell is running before interruption.
## What changed
- Give `exit_interrupts_before_requesting_shutdown` a temporary working directory.
- Replace the fixed 30-second sleep with a loop that stays alive while a temporary directory exists, with cleanup allowing the command to finish if the test fails early.
- Wait for both the turn ID and `exit-test-ready` output within a single 10-second timeout, and fail immediately if the turn completes before interruption.

## What changed
- Bundle `ada`, `babbage`, `curie`, `cushman`, `dali`, and `davinci` themes for configuration and the theme picker, preserving precedence and invalid-file warnings for custom themes with the same names.
- Use `codex.accent` for active and selected controls on truecolor and 256-color terminals, retaining existing fallbacks at lower color depths.
- Honor terminal-default diff backgrounds and clear matching gutter fills, allowing `dali` and `davinci` to show diffs without background fills.
- Restrict Windows native palette fallback to `ConsoleWindowClass` so a ConPTY palette is not mistaken for the renderer's colors when OSC probing fails.
## Testing
Add tests and snapshots for theme preview, selection, cancellation, custom-theme precedence, invalid-file warnings, accent color depth, and disabling individual diff fills.

## Why
Model pickers and session details show raw model IDs even when the catalog provides a display name.
## What changed
- Use catalog display names in model and reasoning pickers, session headers, status displays, and terminal titles, retaining fallback labels for models absent from the catalog.
- Keep model IDs for selection and persistence, and preserve picker highlights by ID when display names change or are shared by multiple models.
- Remove the legacy-model instruction from the full model picker.
## Testing
Add regression tests and snapshots for custom display names, startup and resumed session headers, fallback labels, terminal titles, and picker refreshes. Verify that selecting a display name still persists the original model ID.

## Why
`--worktree` and command-line worktree feature overrides previously excluded sessions from using the local daemon, even though worktree allocation is client-owned and thread requests already forward the feature.
## What changed
- Allow `--worktree` and boolean `features.worktrees` overrides to remain eligible for daemon connections, while preserving exclusions for other configuration overrides and `--no-daemon`.
- Skip daemon auto-start for `--worktree` launches.
## Testing
Add daemon eligibility tests for worktree options and overrides. Run the existing worktree startup and fork test scenarios against both embedded and daemon backends, checking ownership before the first turn and confirming daemon connections through `/status`.

## Why
Workspace paths from the client configuration belong to the client host. Sending them to a remote app server can override the server's workspace roots.
## What changed
- Omit client-configured `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` from remote start, resume, and fork requests so the server resolves defaults or restores saved roots.
- Preserve server-provided roots when forking an active session or side conversation, including after reloading client configuration.
- Reject `--add-dir` and `sandbox_workspace_write.writable_roots` command-line overrides with `--remote` before connecting, directing users to configure additional roots on the server.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for remote workspace roots across start, turn, resume, and fork operations; active-session forks after configuration reloads; and embedded requests retaining explicit roots. CLI tests cover rejected root overrides and continued acceptance of network-access overrides.

## Why
MCP startup alone should not prevent opening the review picker or submitting inline review instructions.
## What changed
- Defer `/review` availability checks and draft clearing to dispatch, where thread state is available.
- Reject live review commands while foreground work is running, pending, or queued, preserving the draft and attachments.
- Distinguish live and queued dispatch so a queued review does not clear a newer composer draft.
## Testing
Add regression tests for the review picker and inline instructions during MCP startup, draft and attachment preservation when review is blocked, and newer draft preservation when a queued review opens.

## What changed
- Use a shared preview renderer for agent command output and MCP results, showing the first three wrapped rows with a hidden-line count and `ctrl + t` transcript hint.
- Apply one preview budget across all MCP result blocks. Count partially displayed logical lines as hidden and hard-wrap long URLs to fit the available width.
- Preserve complete MCP result text in transcript and raw output, including trailing failure diagnostics.
- Bound preview input before wrapping to limit work on very long lines and combining characters.
## Testing
Add unit tests and snapshots for wrapped output, hidden-line counts, blank lines, combining characters, shared MCP block limits, transcript preservation, and matching streamed and completed command previews.

## Why
Reasoning summaries and nonzero command exits split adjacent exploration into separate groups, while compact history omitted exit codes. Replayed commands also failed to retain the same grouping as live commands.
## What changed
- Keep adjacent read, list, and search commands grouped across reasoning summaries and nonzero exits in both live and replayed history.
- Preserve reasoning in chronological order in the expanded transcript while omitting it from compact and raw history.
- Show nonzero exit codes in compact exploration entries and keep unsuccessful reads separate from successful read summaries. Render search exit code `1` without red failure styling, and label compound-command outcomes as `command exit`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for live/replay rendering parity, reasoning order, grouping boundaries, and nonzero exit labels and colors. Update the overlapping-command test to verify that exploration stays grouped after a failure.

## Why
Async questions answered on another client should disappear from the TUI without losing drafts for other questions, even when questions have identical titles.
## What changed
- Send answers using the desktop reply envelope with stable per-question IDs, and resolve matching questions from committed messages and replayed history.
- Render replies as readable question-and-answer text in transcripts, queue previews, and input history.
- Preserve separate reply envelopes and message order when retrying rejected or interrupted input.
- Account for JSON escaping in input limits and fall back to plain text for oversized question IDs.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for cross-client dismissal, draft preservation, replay ordering, reply parsing, IDE context, distinct replies with identical text, and retry ordering. Update the async question scenario to use the reply envelope.

## What changed
Apply dim styling to all rendered recap lines and remove the cyan color from
`Next:`, preserving italics and bold labels.
## Testing
Update recap style assertions and add a rendered-buffer snapshot covering dimmed
text, label styling, line breaks, and next-action wrapping.

## Why
Model requests need the selected workspace's routing constraints before sending content. A missing cached route cannot establish that a custom ChatGPT-auth destination is independent of the workspace.
## What changed
- Register the account processor as the workspace routing resolver for Responses HTTP, compaction, and WebSockets, enabling origin selection and routing headers while preserving API paths and rejecting routed HTTP redirects.
- Share concurrent discovery by auth generation, workspace, and backend configuration. Recover from discovery-time `401` responses while allowing token refreshes for the same auth owner.
- Require successful discovery before classifying custom destinations as independent, and require a new thread when a workspace-bound session's bootstrap origin changes.
- Refresh managed requirements using retained session configuration without fetching thread configuration again. Return typed routing errors without account or backend details.
## Testing
Extend coverage for discovery-time token refresh, retained provider definitions under managed requirements, and specific invalid-routing error categories.
GitOrigin-RevId: 090cda70daa91ee8acfbc973699d028111e54125
## What changed
- Accept `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` and preserve the selected backend through environment configuration, command execution, patch writes, and sandbox metadata.
- Treat MXC as enabled in the TUI and report Windows sandbox readiness as `ready`, avoiding legacy setup prompts.
- Keep `allowed_sandbox_implementations` scoped to the legacy elevated and unelevated backends without restricting MXC.
- Default `windows.sandbox_private_desktop` to `false` for MXC while retaining `true` for legacy sandboxes.
## Testing
Add coverage for MXC configuration precedence, legacy requirement handling, sandbox selection, and TUI state. Add a Wine integration test that verifies command and patch routing fails when native MXC is unavailable and reports `windows_mxc` in turn metadata.

## What changed
- Render `\hat`, `\bar`, `\tilde`, `\vec`, `\dot`, and `\ddot` on single visible graphemes, preserving support for following subscripts and superscripts.
- Add symbols for physics, relations, sets, logic, arrows, and integrals, including `\hbar`.
- Support named delimiters, including with `\left` and `\right`, plus angle brackets written as `\left<` and `\right>`.
- Preserve raw math when accent arguments are empty, invisible, or span multiple graphemes or layout rows.
## Testing
Add snapshots for accents, symbols, named delimiters, and the Schrödinger equation, plus rejection tests for ambiguous accent arguments and unsupported delimiters.
