## What changed
- Add `ToolLifecycleContributor::on_mcp_tool_result` with access to the
executed MCP tool context, rewritten arguments, extension data stores, and
mutable server result.
- Run contributors before publishing MCP completion and before preparing the
result for the model, so extensions can inspect or replace successful and
error results.
## Testing
- Cover unchanged, replaced, and error results for direct MCP calls, plus
replaced and error results through Code Mode.
- Verify completion waits for result processing and the processed result flows
to both completion events and subsequent model input.
GitOrigin-RevId: ece7acfe9c5eed4778cb78a29c3ffd06a74e1bcf
## What changed
- Add `mcp_optional_startup_grace_ms` with a default of 1,000 ms to control how long tool catalog capture waits for optional MCP servers.
- Treat a value of `0` as disabling the shared grace, so optional servers use their configured `startup_timeout_sec` instead.
- Apply updated grace values during runtime and MCP configuration refreshes, and reset cached startup deadlines when the configured duration changes.
## Testing
- Cover custom, disabled, refreshed, and shared startup grace behavior in MCP connection and core integration tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 936196215ed6e0a29c9ec72cfee17663978df8ef
## Why
Planning tools for a candidate model must not change the selected model or its
Responses Lite tool inventory. Otherwise, preparing a fallback can overwrite
metadata before the current model's request is sent.
## What changed
- Build tool registries and visible specs from an explicit `ModelInfo`.
- Store the finalized tool mode, code-mode names, namespace inventory, and
terminal and child-management capabilities on `ToolRouter`.
- Publish namespace inventory only after selecting the step's router, and use
that router's mode when dispatching and recording tool calls.
## Testing
Added coverage for candidate-model isolation, fallback compaction metadata,
code-mode worker selection, normalized tool names, and router capabilities.
GitOrigin-RevId: 56df2de8f42c7e93a4c4dcd117720e40a0cca3db
## Why
Test fixture setup can take more than five seconds on loaded CI workers, and
failures returned from setup can be obscured when downstream mocks verify their
expectations during teardown.
## What changed
- Add a shared `expect_startup` helper with a 30-second timeout that panics on
either timeout or setup failure before mock teardown runs.
- Use the helper for remote-environment and unified-exec fixture setup, and
allow the same startup window for the initial exec-server requests.
## Testing
Add paused-time tests covering successful startup after five seconds, timeout
reporting, and propagation of setup errors in the presence of unmet mocks.
GitOrigin-RevId: 39db69bde2983acd023a1911a6fad106674e169a
## Why
Guardian tests could continue after a WebSocket handshake but before the
connection entered the idle pool. The shared request waiter could also miss a
notification delivered between checking the request log and registering its
wait.
## What changed
- Wait for Guardian prewarming to populate the idle connection pool instead of
treating completed handshakes as sufficient.
- Use two initial Guardian connections in tests while retaining eight in
non-test builds.
- Register for request-log notifications before inspecting the log to avoid a
lost wakeup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 88f6a22c5401e03c24e6e114f2563fc641bfef80
## What changed
- Tell the `spawn_agent` tool to set `model` only when the user explicitly
requests a different model.
- Update the tool-description test to enforce the stricter guidance.
GitOrigin-RevId: ed46bcb544876e408896e0d8c54292192369951c
## Why
Model settings can change between steps in the same turn. Token-budget defaults,
context-window limits, and model-visible guidance need to stay aligned with the
model captured for each step.
## What changed
- Preserve the turn's original token-budget preferences and resolve model-owned
defaults when each `StepContext` is created.
- Use the step's model to determine context-window availability and token-budget
guidance, while keeping explicit user settings unchanged.
- Emit one-time replacement or removal notices when context-window guidance
changes, including compatibility with previously persisted world-state
snapshots.
- Add `ModelInfo::usable_context_window()` to distinguish reserved-headroom
capacity from the resolved context window and auto-compaction limit.
## Testing
- Cover mid-turn model switches with model defaults, explicit settings, config
reloads, missing context windows, and missing destination guidance.
- Cover unchanged, replaced, removed, blank, and legacy guidance transitions.
GitOrigin-RevId: 91100a9f3625bef8a79ecd158eb028051c309eee
## Why
Reviewing a shortened `write_stdin` action while sending the complete input could allow unreviewed bytes to reach an escalated terminal.
## What changed
- Require the fully formatted action and approval reason to fit within 8,000 bytes.
- Reject truncated or oversized actions before requesting approval or writing any bytes to the terminal.
- Document the reviewed stdin size limit in the app-server protocol.
## Testing
Add an integration test that uses JSON escaping to push a formatted action over the limit and verifies that it is neither offered for approval nor executed, while a subsequent valid write still succeeds.
GitOrigin-RevId: f6c96a78a65a136366c8119a7d242dfc2ec05fe6
## Why
Plugin MCP trust decisions must describe the exact host-discovered server
registration. Looking up a plugin again by ID can resolve a different root.
## What changed
- Retain the host plugin root in MCP catalog attribution and connection identity.
- Reconnect an MCP server when its attributed plugin root changes.
- Pass the retained root through tool lifecycle attribution and use it directly
when building trusted tool context.
## Testing
Add coverage for catalog identity, connection reconciliation, lifecycle
attribution, and rejecting a different root associated with the same plugin ID.
GitOrigin-RevId: bc92743dd40ab44065a07c3ea972b4956ef8351f
## What changed
- Recognize `codex_sensitive_action: true` on MCP approval elicitations.
- Route marked actions to the synchronous Guardian reviewer instead of extension fast approval. Absent or false values preserve the existing path.
- Cover ordinary and strict auto-review configurations, including marked, unmarked, and explicitly false metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: dce13d1696568ca81c8d2b08a7ef0d5f13e155bf
## What changed
- Parse optional `usage_metadata.amount` values from Responses API completion events without converting their string representation.
- Propagate the metadata through SSE and WebSocket streams, regular turns, and remote compaction.
- Add `usageMetadata` to the app-server `rawResponse/completed` notification and its generated schemas.
## Testing
- Cover missing, null, zero, and high-precision amounts, including completion events emitted during compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: b16d81e8350eab0dc7ff613d0dc9dbed73041713
## What changed
- Add optional Browser Use and Computer Use confirmation-policy Markdown to model catalog messages.
- Send the configured documents verbatim in `openai/confirmation_policies` metadata for `node_repl` and `cua_repl` tool calls. Send an empty object when the issuing model has no policies so runtime defaults are cleared.
- Use the issuing step's model snapshot across approval waits, and omit the metadata for other MCP servers and Guardian sessions.
## Testing
- Cover policy serialization, configuration overrides, model changes, approval waits, partial or empty policies, eligible server filtering, and Guardian exclusion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 038c4c262a31fc71986e4a2a947fe9bcbd407acc
## Why
Executed-tool metadata for a Code Mode cell can span its `exec` and `wait`
outputs. Consumers need to know whether that metadata contains the cell's full
tool call inventory or only a partial record.
## What changed
- Associate recorded tool calls with the originating Code Mode cell across
`exec` and `wait` outputs.
- Add a host-owned `tool_calls_complete` marker when recording finishes without
dropped or truncated calls. The marker describes inventory completeness, not
tool success.
- Preserve the cell metadata through replay and pruning, and clear the
completeness marker when prompt budgeting makes the record incomplete.
## Testing
Add coverage for multi-wait cells, retries, interruptions, recording limits,
argument truncation, prompt budgeting, and rejection of input-forged metadata.
GitOrigin-RevId: 377014edec06aab42aadab78b8b5dccc0a1c83ba
## What changed
- Add bundled proactivity and follow-up guidance when `ReasoningEffort::Persistent` is selected.
- Allow model metadata to override or disable the guidance with `persistent_instructions`.
- Track the instructions as world state so effort and model changes replace or retire stale guidance without duplicating unchanged context.
- Tailor approval guidance to `send_user_message_async` availability, rebuild it for forked agents and rolled-back history, and exclude Guardian sessions.
## Testing
- Cover default, overridden, disabled, replaced, and retired instructions.
- Cover model changes, history transitions, agent forks, Guardian sessions, and asynchronous-message tool availability.
GitOrigin-RevId: 78e05d0335a70b385bd069b45edcd4ba570cef91
## Why
Trusted Guardian reviewer sessions can emit events without an app-server listener, leaving their turns and tool usage absent from analytics.
## What changed
- Translate Guardian session lifecycle and canonical tool item events into analytics notifications while excluding messages, reasoning, and review content.
- Preserve Guardian lineage during prewarming even when inherited client metadata is not yet available, without emitting an incomplete thread initialization event.
- Limit direct session tracking to trusted Guardian children so resumed threads that have an app-server listener do not report duplicate events.
## Testing
- Cover completed, failed, and interrupted Guardian turns, tool counts and timing, lineage, content exclusion, prewarmed lineage, and resumed-thread deduplication.
GitOrigin-RevId: 70ace5f7ed30a7e3b6a9d6097c8b2a6a326dc4f7
## What changed
- Add callback lifetimes to extension `ToolCall`, `ToolEnvironment`, turn-input context, and skill-read request types.
- Require extension tool executors to handle calls for any invocation lifetime and tie their returned futures to that lifetime.
- Update built-in extensions, adapters, and tests to use the lifetime-scoped APIs without retaining host-owned environment capabilities.
GitOrigin-RevId: aca9ce3a1b6870df550bc84ec9308cc65533f161
## Why
Repeated skill locator roots can make catalog prompts larger even when the
catalog fits within its metadata budget.
## What changed
Evaluate aliased catalogs regardless of budget pressure and select them when
they preserve skill inclusion and description content while reducing prompt
size. Apply the same selection to combined host, executor, and orchestrator
catalogs.
## Testing
Add coverage for alias selection in full host-only catalogs and update skill,
symlink, and orchestrator resource tests to expect shortened locators and their
root mappings.
GitOrigin-RevId: ccedd3f3f6c7efaa1e5177a2d8c3d81d59239f52
## Why
Guardian treated all skill instructions as untrusted, so it could not use the
invocation of a user-owned skill as authorization evidence.
## What changed
- Record explicit and implicit skill invocations through extension contributors.
- Send Guardian a bounded, deduplicated list of canonical skill paths only when
they resolve under the user's Codex or `.agents` skill directories.
- Keep repository skills and symlinks that escape trusted roots untrusted, and
send only verified paths rather than skill contents to the classifier.
- Avoid recording host skill prompts that were superseded by core skill
injection.
## Testing
- Added unit coverage for trusted roots, symlink escapes, deduplication, and
size limits.
- Added integration coverage showing that Guardian trusts invoked user skills
while rejecting a forged repository skill.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1cc0be230f7e6649110201c23c3de8f26447ff36
## What changed
- Fetch ChatGPT account access and attach `cyber_trusted_access` under
`openai/entitlementContext` when an installed or selected plugin explicitly
requests it from a local, read-only stdio tool with no arguments.
- Reject caller-supplied entitlement context on direct MCP calls, and fall back
to an `unknown` status when access cannot be verified or the account changes
during the lookup.
- Count entitlement lookup time against the MCP tool-call timeout.
## Testing
- Cover eligible calls plus unowned, remote, HTTP, mutable, argument-bearing,
API-key, undeclared, direct, and account-switch cases in core and app-server
integration tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 303b61585ef4530276c373d914a2d0ccef1f4ac2
## What changed
- Promote `compaction_image_budget` to stable and enable it by default.
- Charge retained images against the remote compaction context budget unless the feature is explicitly disabled, trimming older images as needed.
## Testing
- Update remote compaction coverage for the default, explicitly enabled, and explicitly disabled behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0f715347cefc33b814bdcfd9b430ef453d3bd6df
## What changed
- Allow `start_or_steer_turn` to accept named `function_call_output` items without a `call_id`, starting a turn when idle or steering the active turn.
- Preserve standalone outputs as pending input, assign response item IDs, and record them in conversation history without treating them as user prompts.
## Testing
- Cover starting a turn with a standalone output and steering an active turn with one.
- Verify passive response items do not signal pending steering activity.
GitOrigin-RevId: e32b292106b3c5a5f03577b8ebf67d2d7dee4e5d
## What changed
- Add the zero-based `window_number` to Responses turn metadata and include it in prewarm requests.
- Persist `forked_from_ordinal_exclusive` separately from the physical history base so fork lineage remains accurate after reverts and cold resumes.
- Report context-inheriting subagents through `parent_thread_id` without also emitting fork lineage.
- Reserve the new metadata keys while accepting and filtering previously valid configured values so Codex-owned values take precedence.
## Testing
- Cover window numbering across compaction, resume, and fork operations.
- Cover fork cutoff persistence across direct forks, legacy rollouts, reverts into inherited history, and cold resumes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 288f6cd632254814c1f166668b33828082d799a1
## What changed
- Add the `write_stdin_approval` feature flag, disabled by default, to require a fresh approval before sending non-empty input to an escalated unified-exec terminal.
- Route these reviews through hooks, Guardian, app-server, and the TUI as `writeStdin` approvals while keeping the parent command item unchanged.
- Preserve the terminal environment, launch directory, and escalation state across turns, and revalidate the process identity after approval before writing input.
## Testing
- Cover approval routing, policy decisions, process reuse, terminal identity preservation, app-server events, analytics, and TUI rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4ba29eaae6208e934737ba078c96e589c7c2164d
## What changed
- Add optional `McpToolContext` metadata to `ToolStartInput`, exposing the
model-visible MCP tool details and its source classification without exposing
the executable client.
- Classify MCP calls as connectors, configured servers, plugin servers,
executor-selected plugins, or other registrations based on the prepared call.
- Prepare each MCP call before notifying tool lifecycle contributors and reuse
that same call for execution so the callback describes the call that runs.
## Testing
- Cover host-owned connector calls and extension-owned Apps server calls,
including their distinct provenance and executed tool names.
GitOrigin-RevId: efd23f511b1045ffdd96349d621ad62365569b2b
## Why
Responses Lite rebuilds its tools and base-instruction prefix for each request. Stable item identities let follow-up WebSocket requests recognize that unchanged prefix and send only incremental input.
## What changed
- Derive deterministic IDs for additional-tools and base-instruction items from the thread ID and each item's serialized payload.
- Preserve IDs when rebuilding an unchanged request or resuming a session, while changing them when the thread or payload changes.
## Testing
- Cover ID stability and payload/thread sensitivity in request construction.
- Verify resumed Responses Lite sessions reuse prefix IDs and WebSocket follow-ups use `previous_response_id` with only new input items.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3c8548b96979d7578865b0ccc51c147926823478
## What changed
- Resolve plugin activation, MCP server policy, and marketplace definitions from the effective configuration stack, including system settings and trusted project overrides.
- Load plugin skills independently for each working directory passed to `skills/list`.
- Exclude project configuration from catalog requests whose `cwds` are omitted or empty.
- Cache up to eight loaded plugin configurations with least-recently-used eviction so requests for different working directories can reuse their results.
## Testing
- Cover layered plugin and MCP policy across trusted and untrusted projects.
- Cover per-directory skill and plugin catalog results, cache reuse and eviction, and system-defined marketplaces.
GitOrigin-RevId: cb68b2b1bdab1da48e05ca7562bc05014431fc71
## What changed
- Default the current-time reminder and interruptible `clock.sleep` tool on for
turns using persistent reasoning effort.
- Preserve explicit `features.current_time_reminder` settings and managed
requirements, and gate reminder recording on the resolved feature state.
## Testing
- Cover configured, persistent, ordinary-effort, explicitly disabled, and
managed-disabled clock setups.
- Verify review turns do not expose clock tools or current-time reminders.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4ff8805807ceeef374abd962b1d9e7c37f1fbd83
## What changed
- Classify `response.failed` events with the `rate_limit_exceeded` code as a distinct retryable error while preserving any parsed retry delay.
- Expose the error as `rateLimitExceeded` through the core protocol and app-server schemas after stream retries are exhausted.
- Preserve the upstream message for TUI display while keeping it out of telemetry summaries.
## Testing
- Cover SSE classification, retry metadata, protocol conversion and serialization, exhausted stream retries, telemetry redaction, and TUI rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 02dab4d3477dcd7653a58c49c4bd38687a616579
## What changed
- Add effective workspace roots to `EnvironmentConfig` and use them when
materializing permission profiles and filesystem context.
- Preserve selection roots for thread-owned configurations while allowing a
ready environment attachment to supply its resolved roots.
- Propagate resolved roots to child environments and validate both command and
`apply_patch` writes in owner-provided secondary workspaces.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1832c168ce1fc37fa67efc2a472998ab4f448c70
## What changed
- Add the opt-in `features.guardianv2.free_guardian` setting to route eligible
Guardian reviews to `/guardian` and asynchronous classifications to
`/guardian-classifier`.
- Support endpoint selection for both HTTP and WebSocket Responses clients,
including endpoint-aware connection reuse.
- Keep `/responses` for API-key authentication, custom provider URLs,
non-Guardian models, and configurations where the option is disabled.
- Omit routing hints and `service_tier` from requests sent to the dedicated
Guardian endpoints.
## Testing
- Cover route selection across authentication modes, provider URLs, HTTP
fallback, WebSocket review sessions, and classifier sampling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9c88673c710d009e0239559b9245a4e6c4f4befc
## What changed
- Add the originating Responses item ID to MCP tool request metadata as
`_meta.itemId`.
- Preserve the initiating `exec` item ID across code-mode cells so nested MCP
calls carry the same origin.
## Testing
- Cover metadata generation for direct and code-mode MCP tool calls.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1161cac64f1cc3a6d4dac4368e63804bd9d2c417
## What changed
- Add `persistent` to the reasoning-effort protocol and TypeScript SDK types.
- Show model-advertised persistent reasoning in the TUI as “Persistent”.
- Preserve `persistent` in local configuration while sending the Responses API's `disabled` wire value.
## Testing
- Cover parsing and serialization, request translation, remote model requests, the TUI reasoning selector, and TypeScript CLI argument forwarding.
GitOrigin-RevId: 22fc2fba1975db345c12d555ec12803d8dc0abca
## Why
Tool execution can use an environment whose sandbox configuration differs from the turn-wide configuration. Sandbox selection and process setup need to follow the environment that owns the tool request.
## What changed
- Source Windows sandbox level, legacy Landlock mode, and Windows private desktop settings from the selected turn environment across tool orchestration, unified exec, patch application, and zsh fork escalation.
- Preserve Windows sandbox level overrides in restorable thread settings and invalidate MCP configuration when that level changes.
## Testing
- Add a resume test that verifies an elevated Windows sandbox override survives thread restoration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9d8fc46404919f5ae97c9ed712c0932a1f095e36
## What changed
Update the attachment-owned permissions test to read the denial message from
the text content item in the restricted MCP tool's structured output.
GitOrigin-RevId: a4b219b6f14f1b40e8c586147f535748b1770b13
## What changed
- Convert unstructured MCP results into typed function-call output items instead of serializing the entire content array as a text string.
- Keep structured MCP results as serialized text and preserve media, encrypted content, and unknown content through their existing item conversions.
- Drop empty text items during output truncation so they do not consume API array slots.
## Testing
- Cover text-only, mixed unstructured, structured, and image-sanitized MCP results.
- Verify empty text items are discarded under byte- and token-based truncation policies.
GitOrigin-RevId: fa1c5b7dee6f003a094265379dcabdd060386a48
## Why
MCP servers attached to executor environments must retain their owner's
permission profile instead of inheriting the thread-wide sandbox authority.
## What changed
- Resolve and capture a permission profile for each enabled MCP server when
publishing the runtime, and reject calls or elicitations when that authority
is unavailable.
- Use the captured server profile for tool approval decisions, elicitation, and
sandbox metadata, including after runtime refreshes.
- Materialize `:workspace_roots` from `PathUri` values so permissions preserve
the path convention of remote executor environments.
- Give threadless app discovery and resource reads an explicit default
permission profile.
## Testing
Added coverage for per-server elicitation authority, unresolved attachments,
runtime refreshes, restricted tool calls, and foreign-platform workspace roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6b188d4b08b29e9971ff7aa68a7785a0cdf9e394
## What changed
- Add a `TestCodexBuilder` entry point that accepts an explicit `TestEnv`.
- Teach the exec-server test fixture to dispatch filesystem-helper invocations.
- Allow the fixture to receive the Linux sandbox executable through
`CODEX_TEST_LINUX_SANDBOX_EXE` and run the server on a multithreaded Tokio
runtime.
GitOrigin-RevId: cb9c27e9db0363d4022a084bc186ccc749e25a95
## Why
Git remote URLs can embed usernames, passwords, or tokens. Codex carries these
URLs through turn metadata and persisted thread metadata, so credentials must be
removed before a remote enters those paths.
## What changed
- Add `SanitizedGitUrl`, which parses Git URL and SCP-style remotes, strips
authentication data, and preserves the conventional `git` SSH user.
- Use sanitized remotes when collecting Git metadata, enriching model requests,
discovering cloud environments, updating thread metadata, and reading legacy
rollouts. Reject or omit malformed remotes instead of retaining their raw
contents.
- Keep API, schema, and TypeScript representations as strings while enforcing
sanitization in Rust.
## Testing
- Cover URL schemes, SCP and IPv6 forms, remote helpers, encoded paths,
malformed values, and legacy deserialization.
- Verify credentials do not appear in model requests, API responses, SQLite, or
rollout files.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6435efc4c45bfbfad4723ce7a0457cb00175f25c
## Why
MCP servers can share an OAuth callback URL. Without a validated issuer or a
server-specific callback path, an authorization response could be associated
with the wrong server.
## What changed
- Use stable callbacks when authorization metadata advertises issuer-bound
responses, and validate the returned issuer before exchanging the code.
- Retain server-specific callback IDs for providers without issuer support,
including fallback to the global or default callback for legacy registered
clients.
- Persist registered callback URLs for MCP servers and plugins, and insert the
active listener port into portless loopback redirects.
## Testing
Add coverage for issuer validation, callback-mode discovery, registered and
legacy clients, plugin OAuth, CLI persistence, and loopback listener ports.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2878c92e237fc17fd3def0bd2e1cce3e104a3db8
## 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
Mark `content_item_kinds` as stable and enable it by default. Remove the
test harness override that previously enabled the feature explicitly.
GitOrigin-RevId: 86b0c3f295c4de3b8900981bfdd8830f275073f5
## 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 a feature-gated `TurnSettings` operation that can update the model,
reasoning effort, reasoning summary, and service tier for subsequent steps of
a named running turn without changing future thread settings.
- Report whether an update was applied, rejected, or lost its live target.
- Revalidate managed constraints and preserve the turn's admitted approval and
Guardian safety properties before publishing an updated settings snapshot.
## Testing
- Cover sparse updates, step capture and ordering, target replacement, managed
policy changes, model metadata safety, and separation from future settings.
GitOrigin-RevId: ecaaaa95b4fd4ec9d62265bef551582dddb36d78
## Why
Thread settings can change while a turn is running, and delegated review or
compaction steps can select a different model. Each request needs a consistent
set of settings resolved against the model that will execute it.
## What changed
- Capture immutable resolved settings for each model step, including model
metadata, reasoning options, service tier, approvals, and personality.
- Keep in-flight steps on their captured settings while applying thread updates
to subsequent work.
- Resolve inherited reasoning summaries and filter service tiers against the
selected model and feature configuration for review and compaction steps.
## Testing
Added coverage for settings updates during paused turns, model changes,
previous-model compaction, review-model defaults, and service-tier filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: fca4b3b305379f1bf26a5cac75ee0dd1747ac1f6
## Why
Turn settings can change after an input request previews its overrides. Automatic idle work could therefore make a Plan-mode admission decision from stale settings or apply a sparse override built from an outdated collaboration mode.
## What changed
- Evaluate automatic turn admission against both the current and proposed configuration under the settings publication lock.
- Reject automatic work that would enter or leave Plan mode without committing settings or triggering runtime configuration effects.
- Keep model and reasoning-effort overrides sparse until they are merged with the configuration being committed.
- Continue allowing explicit user and recovery turns to make valid mode transitions.
## Testing
Add coverage for concurrent settings changes, sparse model and effort updates, commit-time constraint validation, atomic Plan-mode rejection, and subsequent explicit user submission.
GitOrigin-RevId: 234f06de116bdce7c3a3fb5cac3d15583304a253
## Why
Model requirements must be evaluated against the permissions that will apply
after a settings update. Validating against the current profile can reject a
valid model-and-permission update or allow a later permission-only update to
invalidate the selected model.
## What changed
- Group model, reasoning, service-tier, personality, and approval inputs into
`StepSettings`, with a single apply-and-validate path.
- Apply permission and environment changes before validating step settings, so
auto-review requirements use the proposed effective permissions.
- Revalidate existing step settings when permission or environment changes alter
their constraints, and commit the update only when the complete candidate is
valid.
## Testing
Added unit and integration coverage for atomic model/permission updates,
permission-only revalidation, environment-derived constraints, and both
standalone and turn-start settings operations.
GitOrigin-RevId: f50dfbd300484a09acc51ee4607278f300ca1cd9
## Why
Post-commit work can overlap with another settings write. Reading the session
again afterward could make a settings operation report or use the later state
instead of the state that it committed.
## What changed
- Return the committed configuration and `ThreadSettingsSnapshot` from session
settings updates.
- Use that commit result when creating a turn and emitting
`ThreadSettingsApplied`, while retaining current-state snapshots for
synthesized fork history.
- Route turn-start updates through the shared settings update path.
## Testing
Add coverage for standalone and turn-start updates that pause after committing,
restore different settings concurrently, and verify that each operation keeps
its original configuration and notification snapshot.

## Why
Reusing an MCP connection that is still starting after its
`startup_timeout_sec` changes leaves the old startup budget in effect.
## What changed
- Track the effective startup timeout on each MCP connection.
- Reuse a pending startup only when its timeout still matches the current
configuration.
- Continue reusing ready connections when only the startup timeout changes.
## Testing
Added integration coverage that refreshes the timeout while one server is
still initializing and another is ready, verifying that only the pending
startup is replaced.

## What changed
- Add the under-development `skip_host_skill_discovery` feature to bypass host
skill snapshots during session warmup and turn setup.
- Let skill invocation contributors declare whether they require host-owned
skills. Preserve host discovery when no contributors are registered or any
contributor requires it.
- Keep executor and orchestrator skill catalogs and instruction loading
available when host discovery is skipped.
## Testing
- Cover executor-only, orchestrator, mixed-contributor, and legacy host-skill
behavior.

## Why
Pending user input or agent mail could cause a regular task to restart immediately after a terminal compaction error, retrying the failed turn instead of completing it and preserving the pending input.
## What changed
- Stop the regular-task continuation loop when the turn records a terminal error.
- Allow turn completion to persist pending input so a later explicit request can retry it after the error is resolved.
## Testing
Added coverage for pre-turn and mid-turn compaction failures with steered input, queued agent mail, and mail that triggers a turn.
