## Why
Clients need a per-thread Daybreak toggle that survives restarts and can be
restored on resume without changing the access program of an active or future
turn.
## What changed
- Add experimental `daybreakEnabled` support to `thread/metadata/update` and
expose the saved value on thread responses.
- Store the preference in SQLite, including for threads without a first turn,
and preserve it through reads, resumes, reconciliation, and restarts.
- Copy the preference when forking a thread while keeping subsequent updates
independent.
- Keep `daybreakEnabled` separate from the per-turn `cyberAccessProgram` field;
app-server does not derive one from the other.
## Testing
- Cover persistence across restarts, cold reads, reconciliation, and forks.
- Verify metadata updates do not alter the access program of active or later
turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: bcf987a9fcd7b0ac8a88b1c8f0df06b33ed8ad6e
## What changed
- Add the creation-time `originator` to app-server thread responses and `thread/started` notifications.
- Persist originators in thread metadata and preserve the first recorded value across list, read, resume, rollout, and SQLite paths.
- Add an `originators` allowlist to `thread/list` for hosted backends. The local app-server accepts omitted or empty values but rejects nonempty filters.
## Testing
- Cover originator persistence across server restarts and list, read, and resume requests.
- Verify local `thread/list` handling for nonempty, omitted, null, and empty originator filters.
- Heap-allocate large TUI dispatcher futures in affected tests to keep them within the Windows test-thread stack.

## Why
Compaction replaces the model history window, but host-verified user answers may
still be needed for the rest of the owning thread.
## What changed
- Add bounded, model-invisible retained context for verified
`request_user_input` answers.
- Persist retained context in rollout events and compaction checkpoints, and
restore it when a thread resumes.
- Remove answers when their source turns are rolled back, and prevent
parent-local answers from being inherited by child forks.
## Testing
Add lifecycle coverage for deduplication and size limits, compaction and resume,
rollback, rollout migration, and child forks.
GitOrigin-RevId: c32900d3e8120a9899b71f0576683acd67a4b898
## Why
Resumed threads need to continue per-turn and per-thread token totals without scanning arbitrarily far beyond the latest compaction checkpoint.
## What changed
- Add durable `TokenUsageRecord` rollout items with response, turn, thread, session, and root-turn attribution.
- Restore accumulated usage on resume and snapshot the latest record plus the compaction response ID in compaction checkpoints.
- Preserve root-turn lineage in persisted turn context, while ensuring forked child threads start with their own usage totals.
## Testing
- Cover usage accumulation across multiple responses and resumed turns.
- Cover local and remote compaction checkpoints, invalid remote compaction output, rollout reconstruction, and fork isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: ef9e0c4a9102a08a2c382be4cdac68c84353c90a
## What changed
- Include `recencyAt`, derived from the newest non-archived assigned thread, in project responses.
- Let `project/list` sort by `position` or `recencyAt` in either direction, with recency as the default descending order for that key and projects without activity placed last.
- Encode the sort key, direction, and millisecond-precision anchor in new cursors while retaining existing ascending-position cursors.
- Add an index for project recency lookups and document the API's sorting and pagination behavior.
## Testing
- Cover recency updates when threads are assigned, archived, unarchived, or deleted.
- Cover ordering, null handling, tie-breaking, cursor pagination, invalid sort combinations, and cursor mismatches.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6165e2b9976b0b45cfa16bcd42978b67811f6df5
## 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
## Why
SQLite log persistence needs visibility into batch size, write latency,
failures, and entries dropped before they reach the writer. Exporter
diagnostics must not feed back into the SQLite log sink and keep metric
exports active indefinitely.
## What changed
- Record write count, duration, batch bytes, entry count, largest-entry size,
and queue drops with bounded outcome tags.
- Add explicit byte histogram boundaries for log batch metrics.
- Filter OTLP transport noise and the benign unsolicited HTTP/2 PING warning
from SQLite log persistence to prevent export cycles while retaining other
HTTP/2 warnings.
## Testing
- Cover metric values, tags, queue-drop reasons, and histogram boundaries.
- Verify successful and failed OTLP HTTP and gRPC exports become idle instead
of generating recurring SQLite log-write metrics.
GitOrigin-RevId: a63224ae15945fe84adc977a8b7d55bb47a4de53
## 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
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
New non-ephemeral threads have no persisted rollout or preview until their first
turn, so moving them into a section could leave them absent from section-filtered
thread lists.
## What changed
- Materialize and flush a non-ephemeral thread before applying an explicit
section move.
- Include explicitly sectioned threads with empty previews in section-filtered
queries, and update the partial indexes to cover them.
## Testing
- Add an app-server test that moves a newly started thread into and out of the
pinned section before its first turn.
- Cover empty-preview threads in recency and section-position query tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa3c4daf9890f06c08b93cd60f146099cbc6cfb2
## Why
Legacy threads and paginated threads read their displayed names from different metadata. Moving a rollout to paginated history must carry over its legacy-visible name so renamed threads do not lose it.
## What changed
- Load legacy indexed names once for an apply run.
- When promoting a thread, preserve an existing canonical name or copy its distinct legacy title, falling back to the legacy name index.
- Repair missing names when migration encounters an already-paginated rollout.
## Testing
Added migration tests covering preservation from both legacy name sources and repair on a rerun.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5fc526570b1cf358a159ef174c159ac091ccc40f
## Why
Durable thread queues can be updated through another SQLite connection, but loaded idle threads need to notice those updates before they can dispatch the new messages.
## What changed
- Track a durable revision for each thread queue, including backfilling existing queues and updating revisions on inserts, updates, and deletes.
- Poll SQLite's data version and query revisions to find changed queues for loaded threads.
- Wake idle threads with pending external messages, discover queued work when threads are loaded or resumed, and retry each thread independently so one blocked queue does not stall others.
## Testing
- Cover cross-runtime queue writes, edits, independent dispatch, wake retries, and resumed threads.
- Cover migration backfills and revision tracking for queue updates and deletes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 906d902bbf6a760be206a1b2c08fd71427b63c46
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 89caf5577192199bda77cf6c372a59d26cdd910e
## What changed
- Add a `SecurityRiskScore` rollout item containing a category and numeric score.
- Persist the item in both thread history modes while excluding it from model context, user-visible thread history, search text, forks, and reconstructed conversation history.
- Re-export the score type from the extension API.
## Testing
- Cover serialization, persistence and loading, thread history projection, session reconstruction, append planning, and memory filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1926fe366aeaa75052708a6da589f45a38eefb52
## What changed
- Add `ThreadStore::revert_thread` to retain history before a selected turn by creating a new immutable rollout and atomically switching the thread's stored rollout path.
- Preserve the logical thread ID and session metadata across repeated reverts.
- Track every rollout owned by a thread so archive, unarchive, and delete operations handle the complete lineage and restore moved files when metadata updates fail.
- Prevent deletion when forks still reference any rollout in the thread's lineage.
## Testing
- Cover repeated reverts, compressed source rollouts, lifecycle operations over reverted histories, reference-aware deletion, and cross-process unarchive locking.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1c05a6db3d0036ee91b562263d7ca200c6a0ea71
## What changed
- Add optional `icon` and `color` appearance fields to custom thread sections and expose them through the app-server protocol.
- Persist appearance metadata in SQLite and include it when listing sections or returning threads.
- Let `threadSection/update` preserve an omitted appearance, clear it with `null`, or replace it with a new value.
- Reject appearance fields larger than 64 bytes.
## Testing
- Cover protocol compatibility, persistence across restart, update and clear behavior, and field-length validation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8f55ce4f42f8bd17aa5416848a85845f681953df
## What changed
- Add `codex migrate-rollouts` with dry-run inspection by default, explicit `--apply`, thread filtering, optional I/O throttling, progress output, and JSON or verbose reports.
- Add the disabled-by-default `background_paginated_rollout_migration` feature to migrate legacy local sessions at startup before rollout compression begins.
- Persist a migration cursor and skipped-file fingerprints so later startups avoid full rescans while retrying changed files and recovering pending migrations.
- Coordinate migration with live writers and emit metrics for manual and startup runs.
## Testing
- Cover startup cursor advancement and lookback, pending migration recovery, live-writer coordination, changed empty rollouts, and progress reporting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 276ac506c50ebec5140fd319faca1bb998172061
## What changed
- Add `LocalThreadStore::migrate_rollouts` with dry-run and apply modes,
optional thread selection, throughput limiting, and per-rollout outcomes.
- Canonicalize legacy JSONL records into paginated history while preserving
model-visible conversation context, including compressed rollouts and copied
fork history.
- Publish replacements atomically and journal migrations so interrupted SQLite
projections can be recovered. Coordinate migration with rollout compression
and skip rollouts with active writers.
- Make paginated history a one-way SQLite promotion so stale metadata cannot
downgrade a migrated thread.
## Testing
- Cover legacy record normalization, dry runs, idempotency, malformed input,
compressed rollouts, active writers, interrupted migration recovery, and a
cold app-server resume after migration.
GitOrigin-RevId: b9991b659f28ebb52da39ce62e8b4e0bae2ba2bb
## What changed
- Add a storage-neutral `QueueStore` interface backed by a dedicated SQLite
database for ordered, thread-scoped user submissions.
- Support enqueueing, paginated listing, editing, deletion, and atomic
reordering, with a limit of 100 pending items per thread.
- Remove queued submissions when their thread is deleted.
## Testing
- Cover concurrent inserts, ordering and pagination, edits, deletion,
cross-thread isolation, queue limits, and thread cleanup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0a8e95ac71137afc6f3a039d4b5fc8603110c891
## What changed
- Parse `codex_rollout_budget_units` from completed Responses API usage into
`TokenUsage`.
- Keep the provider-only value out of serialized protocol, JSON schema, and
TypeScript representations.
## Testing
- Cover the value in unit and end-to-end SSE response parsing tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: a53d4202beb9c8985d25894cb10e7c01f20b2a44
## What changed
- Add `threadSection/create`, `threadSection/update`, and `threadSection/delete` app-server methods, with generated protocol schemas and TypeScript bindings.
- Persist custom sections in SQLite with stable UUIDv7 identities, trim and validate display names, and prevent renaming or deleting the built-in pinned section.
- Delete sections transactionally and return their active and archived threads to the unsectioned list.
- Serialize section mutations with section listing so concurrent requests observe ordered updates.
## Testing
- Cover section persistence across restarts, ordered renames, member cleanup on deletion, invalid requests, unsupported stores, and thread-store/state-runtime behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: dc9a4be283c21dbc93ab1829eafc4825d8df6575
## What changed
- Add `thread/section/move` to atomically move a thread into, within, or out of a section. Threads can be inserted before an existing member or appended, and moves within a section preserve `sectionEnteredAt`.
- Add `section_position` sorting to `thread/list`, with ascending order as its default, and expose `sectionEnteredAt` in thread responses.
- Persist section positions and entry times in SQLite, including migration of existing section members into recency order. Section membership is no longer updated through `thread/metadata/update`.
## Testing
- Cover section moves, reordering, pagination, persistence across restarts and rollout reconciliation, concurrent updates, and rank renumbering.
GitOrigin-RevId: aec6d7ddedca5277029b5caf5c074975397e956c
## What changed
- Preserve the original title when importing an external-agent session and return it with successful session entries from `externalAgentConfig/import/readHistories`.
- Add dedicated history-record success types so externally completed imports can optionally supply a session title without changing the live import result type.
## Testing
- Verify imported session titles are returned by the app server and persisted when session import ledger entries are created or refreshed.
GitOrigin-RevId: e896688a5763c238f1e1dc8b4672a7aa7bc1ed4c
## What changed
- Replace the `isPinned` thread metadata and filters with an optional persisted
`section` and `sectionId`.
- Add the paginated `threadSection/list` app-server method so clients can
discover sections even when they contain no threads.
- Seed a stable `Pinned` section, validate section assignments, and support
filtering for a specific section or for unsectioned threads.
## Testing
- Cover section protocol serialization, listing and pagination, metadata
updates, filtering, persistence, migration compatibility, and operation
without SQLite state.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7972b5471d29317b9387bfd90aa9f573f691ad4c
## What changed
- Include threads without preview text when listing direct children or descendants from the persisted spawn graph.
- Continue filtering those threads out of the global thread list.
## Testing
- Extend the relationship pagination test to cover an empty-preview child in direct-child and descendant results.
GitOrigin-RevId: c2e7bb04c5f64558a48b1d7877bd24edaa364bb4
## Why
Codex and SQLite data can use separate home directories, but state consumers
could reconstruct database paths from the Codex home instead of consistently
using the resolved SQLite configuration.
## What changed
- Pass `SqliteConfig` through the core, rollout, state runtime, and thread store
instead of passing a directory and rebuilding the configuration downstream.
- Use that shared configuration for state, logs, memories, goals, and paginated
thread-history database access, including integrity checks and cleanup.
- Reject state database handles whose SQLite configuration does not match the
requesting store.
## Testing
Add coverage with separate Codex and SQLite homes that verifies startup
backfill, thread listing, and paginated history all use the configured SQLite
directory.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1de1cdd1d6ff1d70bbb6c360c8352e6543fb8ebf
## Why
Clients that complete an external agent config import outside the app server need a way to include the result in import history.
## What changed
- Add `externalAgentConfig/import/recordHistory` to persist completed item results and return a generated import ID.
- Store the optional provider ID for regular imports and expose it when reading import history.
- Update the generated JSON and TypeScript protocol schemas for the new request, response, and history field.
## Testing
- Cover recording and reading an externally completed import through the app-server protocol.
- Cover provider ID persistence and updates in the state runtime.
GitOrigin-RevId: 935401e899ec9eeb38f54c182e45a16642411deb
## What changed
- Add `isPinned` to thread responses and allow `thread/metadata/update` to pin or unpin stored threads.
- Add an `isPinned` filter to `thread/list`, including cursor-based pagination and combinations with relationship filters.
- Persist pin state in SQLite without modifying rollout files, default existing threads to unpinned, and preserve pins through reconciliation and archive transitions.
## Testing
- Cover protocol serialization, database migration and indexing, pin updates, filtered pagination, rollout reconciliation, and archive/unarchive behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: c2eacabd6dae465e2ae6ce8a169e00740960cdb7
## What changed
- Add `SqliteConfig` to own the resolved SQLite home, runtime database paths,
and shared read/write and read-only pool settings.
- Pass the configuration through state and local thread-store consumers,
replacing standalone path helpers and duplicated connection setup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7351b08da94b5c8b6c0bbe492f86aeeca0699d3c
## What changed
- Remove the `spawn_agents_on_csv` and `report_agent_job_result` tools and their agent-job runtime and state models.
- Drop the legacy `agent_jobs` and `agent_job_items` tables during state database migration.
- Keep `features.enable_fanout` and `agents.job_max_runtime_seconds` accepted as no-op compatibility settings while omitting them from the generated configuration schema.
## Testing
- Verify upgrades remove both legacy agent-job tables.
- Verify the removed feature and configuration keys still parse without taking effect.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8cc3337da78c67162229f02f40a747f503542646
## Why
`SqliteConfig` stores its home as an `AbsolutePathBuf`, but its test constructor
previously accepted a `PathBuf` and checked the absolute-path invariant at
runtime.
## What changed
- Make `SqliteConfig::new_for_testing` accept an `AbsolutePathBuf` directly,
removing its fallible conversion and `expect`.
- Update SQLite test setup to convert temporary directory paths with
`PathExt::abs` at each call site.
GitOrigin-RevId: 93585b9aea805e2449b3465ac20eeb39417ed555
## Why
Paginated threads keep metadata updates in SQLite, while their rollout retains the initial `memory_mode`. Reconciliation could therefore overwrite the current setting with a stale value, and memory processing excluded these threads entirely.
## What changed
- Include paginated threads in stage 1 memory job selection and global memory output lookup.
- Preserve the SQLite `memory_mode` when reconciling or backfilling an existing paginated thread, while continuing to seed missing rows and restore legacy threads from rollouts.
- Omit `memory_mode` alongside Git metadata when flushing resumed paginated history.
## Testing
Added coverage for preserving disabled memory mode during reconciliation and backfill, selecting eligible paginated threads, and omitting initial metadata on paginated resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2a6e16068e69680728757fbec27aeefae45b8110
## Why
Paginated threads need explicit user-facing names to remain distinct from
derived titles and previews without requiring rollout metadata writes.
## What changed
- Add a nullable `name` column to persisted thread metadata and use it as the
canonical name for paginated threads.
- Route paginated name updates through the state database while retaining the
name index as best-effort compatibility data and preserving legacy thread
behavior.
- Return persisted names when reading, listing, searching, and resuming
paginated threads, and include them in state-database search matching.
## Testing
- Cover paginated name updates, reads, list/search results, and metadata-only
resume behavior, including stale or unavailable compatibility data.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ac4dfa2a83682b43d59ecc87e0f515580164dca
## What changed
- Add `SqliteConfig` as the shared entry point for read-write and read-only SQLite pools.
- Apply consistent WAL, synchronization, auto-vacuum, busy-timeout, logging, and pool-size settings to writable Codex databases.
- Route state runtime, audit, CLI, and test database connections through the shared configuration.
## Testing
- Run migration tests against temporary on-disk databases opened through `SqliteConfig`, including the concurrent-writer repair case.
GitOrigin-RevId: e3946b98bde04c47574532ac8b1a7bb2b03edd97
## What changed
- Add `HistoryPosition` to identify a source thread and an exclusive rollout
prefix by ordinal and JSONL byte offset.
- Add optional `history_base` metadata to `SessionMeta` so a thread can record
an inherited prefix of another paginated rollout.
- Default missing `history_base` metadata to `None` and omit it when unset to
preserve compatibility with existing rollout metadata.
## Testing
- Verify that legacy session metadata without `history_base` deserializes with
no inherited history position.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3b2b07a2dfee793d3b37b0a60529f856f167dbc1
## What changed
- Parse `cache_write_tokens` from response input token details and carry it through token usage aggregation.
- Expose `cache_write_input_tokens` in protocol, app-server, exec, and TypeScript SDK usage events, defaulting it to zero for compatibility with older payloads.
- Report cache-write usage in analytics, metrics, traces, and rollout data alongside existing cache-read usage.
## Testing
- Add coverage for response parsing, usage event output, aggregation, analytics, metrics, and telemetry fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: 634e4fbe3086a8923c0ee13b622573e7d9d221bd
## What changed
- Inherit paginated history mode when spawning or forking a subagent from a paginated parent.
- Load the parent's model context when forking and persist it as an inherited rollout prefix, while excluding that prefix from the child's projected turns, items, and metadata.
- Record the boundary between inherited context and child history, and reject partially initialized paginated subagent rollouts on resume.
- Resume paginated subagents from their stored model context instead of legacy rollout history.
## Testing
Added coverage for fresh and forked paginated subagents, compacted-history forks, model-context resume, inherited-prefix projection, metadata isolation, and incomplete-prefix detection.
GitOrigin-RevId: e57dc37c29aa4aaaf57b052b991be591d730e5ba
## What changed
- Add experimental `beforeTurnId` support to `thread/fork` for copying history strictly before a turn, including an in-progress turn.
- Use before-turn forks for TUI backtracking and safety retries so the replacement prompt retains thread context instead of recreating the branch from the preceding turn or a new thread.
- Add experimental `deferGoalContinuation` support so safety-retry forks can inherit an active goal while waiting for the replacement turn before automatic continuation resumes.
- Hide duplicated nested-review prompts when replaying history or selecting a prompt to edit.
## Testing
- Cover before-turn truncation, fork validation, active-goal inheritance, TUI safety retries, backtracking, and nested-review replay.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4915d85ae1929a0b8c40f3ed7dca29c7a5bdcdf3
## What changed
- Add `subErrorType` to external agent config import failures and carry it through progress and completion notifications, persisted import histories, and analytics.
- Expose plugin store failure subtypes from `PluginInstallError` so manual installs and imported plugins report details such as `failed_to_copy_plugin_file` while failures without a subtype remain `null`.
- Keep existing persisted import records compatible by defaulting the new field when it is absent.
## Testing
- Cover store I/O subtype extraction, analytics serialization, persisted import histories, and migration notification fixtures.
GitOrigin-RevId: ec1a85623fc826cbd7cfe9f55c2dd2bc86665937
## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
## Why
`selectedCapabilityRoots` is durable thread intent: “use this capability
root from environment `worker`.”
The important product assumption is:
> One environment ID always names the same logical executor and stable
contents.
`worker` does not silently change from executor A to an unrelated
executor B. The process-local connection handle for `worker` can still
be replaced while Codex is running, though, for example when
`environment/add` registers a fresh handle for the same logical
environment.
The thread should persist only the stable selection. Each model step
should pair that selection with the exact ready handle captured for that
step.
## The boundary
```text
persisted thread intent
plugin@1 -> environment "worker"

unavailable, or
plugin@1 + worker's exact captured ready handle
```
The environment ID is the stable identity and cache key. The
`Arc<Environment>` is only a process-local handle retained so consumers
of one model step use the same captured environment. It is never
persisted and it does not imply different environment contents.
## What changes
### Persist the stable selection
Selected roots are written into `SessionMeta` and restored with the
thread. Forked subagents inherit the same selections, including
bounded-history forks.
Only stable data is persisted: root ID, environment ID, and root path.
### Capture readiness together with the exact handle
The environment snapshot records:
```rust
environment_id -> Some(Arc<Environment>) // ready in this step
environment_id -> None // still starting in this step
```
This prevents readiness and execution from coming from different
registry snapshots.
For example:
```text
step snapshot: worker -> handle A, ready
environment/add: worker -> fresh handle B for the same logical environment
current step: plugin@1 still uses captured handle A
```
Without carrying handle A in the snapshot, the resolver could combine “A
was ready” with handle B and treat B as ready before it had finished
starting.
This does not change cache invalidation. Stable capability metadata
remains identified by environment ID and capability root. Replacing a
process-local handle under the same stable environment ID does not
invalidate or rediscover that metadata.
### Resolve availability per model step
- A ready captured environment produces resolved roots using its
captured handle.
- A starting, missing, or failed environment is omitted from that step.
- A selected lazy environment that is outside the turn's captured
environment set is asked to start, and a later step can observe it as
ready.
- No capability files are scanned here.
Transient transport disconnects remain the remote client's reconnect
concern. This PR models initial attachment/readiness; it does not add
live socket-connectivity state.
## Example
```text
thread selection: plugin@1 -> environment "worker"
step 1: worker is starting -> plugin@1 unavailable
step 2: worker is ready -> plugin@1 resolves through worker's captured handle
step 3: fresh local handle -> current step remains pinned; a later step captures its own view
```
Temporary unavailability does not discard the durable selection. Later
PRs can retain stable metadata caches while projecting only currently
available capabilities into model-visible World State.
## Compatibility
The app-server request shape does not change. Older rollouts without
`selected_capability_roots` deserialize to an empty list.
## Stack
1. **This PR:** persist stable selected roots and resolve them through
an exact model-step handle.
2. #29960: cache stable skill metadata and project available skills into
World State.
3. #29946: cache stable plugin declarations and manage the separate live
MCP runtime.
## Why
`WorldState` currently remembers its model-visible diff baseline only in
memory. That leaves no durable source for restoring the exact baseline
after resume, fork, rollback, or compaction.
This is the second PR in the WorldState persistence stack, built on
#29833 and following #29249. It records durable state transitions; the
next PR will replay them during rollout reconstruction.
## What
- Add a `world_state` rollout item containing either a full snapshot or
an RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch.
- Persist a full snapshot after initial context and after compaction
establishes a new context window.
- Persist non-empty patches when later sampling steps or turns advance
the WorldState baseline.
- Write model-visible history before its matching WorldState record, so
an interrupted write can only cause a safe repeated update on replay.
- Preserve WorldState records for full-history forks while excluding
them from thread previews, metadata, and app-server history
materialization.
Older binaries read rollout lines independently, so they skip the
unknown `world_state` records while retaining the rest of the thread.

## Why
`thread/list` can filter direct children with `parentThreadId`, but
clients cannot request an entire spawned subtree. Discovering every
descendant requires repeated client-side requests and gives up the
database's existing filtering and pagination path.
## What changed
Experimental clients can use `ancestorThreadId` to return strict
descendants at any depth while `parentThreadId` retains its direct-child
meaning. The filters are mutually exclusive, the ancestor is excluded,
and every result preserves its immediate `parentThreadId` so callers can
reconstruct the tree.
## How it works
- **Explicit relationship:** Internal list parameters distinguish direct
children from transitive descendants without changing the meaning of
`parentThreadId`.
- **Existing graph:** Persisted parent-child spawn edges remain the
source of truth, so descendant lookup needs no schema migration or
ancestry cache.
- **Indexed traversal:** A recursive SQLite query starts from the
parent-edge index, walks each generation, and applies thread filters,
sorting, and cursor pagination in the same database request.
- **Reconstructable results:** The response stays flat and normally
ordered while carrying each descendant's immediate parent.
## Verification
Ran 550 tests across the protocol, state, rollout, and thread-store
crates, then reran the four focused state, store, and app-server
descendant-listing tests after the final diff reduction. Scoped Clippy
and formatting checks passed. Stable and experimental schema generation
was checked; the stable fixtures remain unchanged while the experimental
schema includes the new field.
## Why
Inter-agent messages are recorded in live history as
`ResponseItem::AgentMessage`, but rollouts stored
`InterAgentCommunication` and rebuilt the response item during resume.
This made the rollout differ from the actual Responses history.
## What changed
- store the prepared `agent_message` response item directly
- keep `trigger_turn` in a small local metadata record for fork
truncation
- keep reading older `inter_agent_communication` rollout items
## Why
PR #29494 made context-window IDs visible to the model by wrapping the
token-budget window payload in `<context_window>`, but rollout JSONL
consumers still could not see the initial window identity by tailing the
session file. Compacted rollout items carry window IDs only after
compaction has happened, so a session with no compaction had no durable
JSONL record for window 0.
This change gives tailing consumers a stable initial-window record at
session creation time.
## What Changed
- Added `session_meta.context_window.window_id` for the initial
context-window identity.
- `CreateThreadParams` now requires `initial_window_id: String`, so
thread-store callers cannot accidentally create new threads without
window-0 metadata.
- Live thread creation derives the persisted initial window ID from the
same `AutoCompactWindowIds` used to initialize `SessionState`, keeping
runtime state and JSONL metadata aligned.
- Rollout reconstruction uses `session_meta.context_window.window_id` as
the initial-window fallback and derives `window_number = 0`,
`first_window_id = window_id`, and `previous_window_id = None`
internally.
- Fork reconstruction intentionally uses the same rollout reconstruction
path; consumers that need to distinguish copied initial-window metadata
can use the rollout `thread_id`.
- Legacy compactions without `window_number` still use compaction-count
fallback accounting instead of being reset to window 0 by the
initial-window fallback.
- Compacted rollout metadata still takes precedence once compaction
records exist, preserving the richer chain fields there.
## JSONL Shape
Real rollout JSONL is one object per line. This example is expanded for
readability, but shows the new initial `session_meta.context_window`
record followed by the existing compacted rollout item shape that also
carries window IDs:
```jsonl
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"type": "session_meta",
"payload": {
"session_id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"id": "<THREAD_ID>",
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:00:00.000Z",
"cwd": "/repo",
"originator": "codex",
"cli_version": "0.0.0",
"source": "cli",
"model_provider": "<MODEL_PROVIDER>",
"context_window": {
"window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
}
...
{
"timestamp": "2026-06-22T12:34:56.000Z",
"type": "compacted",
"payload": {
"message": "<COMPACTION_SUMMARY>",
"replacement_history": [
"..."
],
"window_number": 1,
"first_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"previous_window_id": "<INITIAL_WINDOW_ID>",
"window_id": "<NEXT_WINDOW_ID>"
}
}
```
The nested `context_window` object is intentional: it gives rollout
consumers a stable namespace for context-window metadata while only
writing the non-derivable initial `window_id`. For the initial window,
`window_number`, `first_window_id`, and `previous_window_id` are derived
internally instead of being written to the rollout.

## Summary
A cold-resumed subagent kept its durable thread ID but could receive a
new session ID, splitting one agent tree across multiple sessions after
a restart.
Persist the root session ID in every rollout `SessionMeta`, carry it
through thread creation, and restore it before initializing the resumed
`Session` and `AgentControl`.
## Behavior
For a nested agent tree:
```text
root session R
parent thread P
child thread C
```
The child rollout stores:
```text
session_id: R
parent_thread_id: P
id: C
```
After a cold resume, the child still belongs to root session `R` while
its immediate parent remains `P`. The integration coverage uses distinct
values for all three IDs so it catches restoring the session from
`parent_thread_id`.
## Legacy rollouts
Previous rollouts have `id` but no `session_id`. `SessionMetaLine`
deserialization treats a missing `session_id` as `id`, keeping those
files readable, listable, and resumable. When a legacy subagent is
resumed through its root, that synthesized child ID no longer overrides
the inherited root-scoped `AgentControl`. New rollouts always persist
the explicit root session ID.
## Summary
- Revert #28655, restoring the thread `recencyAt` behavior introduced by
#27910.
- Move `threads_recency_at` to migration 0039 so it no longer collides
with `external_agent_config_imports` at version 0038.
- Repair databases that already applied the recency migration as version
38 by moving the matching migration-history row to version 39 before
SQLx validation. The current version-38 migration can then apply
normally.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-state
migrations::tests::repairs_recency_migration_that_was_applied_as_version_38`
- `just test -p codex-state -p codex-rollout -p codex-thread-store -p
codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-tui`: 3,439 passed; six TUI tests
could not open the machine's existing read-only incident database at
`~/.codex/sqlite/state_5.sqlite`.
- `just fix -p codex-state`
- `just fmt`
- Verified that state migration versions are unique.
## Why
Revert #27910 to remove the newly introduced thread `recencyAt`
persistence and API behavior from `main`.
## What changed
This reverts commit `fac3158c2a783095768076489815f361fa9b0db4`,
including the state migration, thread-store propagation, app-server API
surface, generated schemas, and related tests.
## Validation
Not run before opening; relying on CI for the initial fast signal.
## Why
#28152 jumped the gun on moving the rollout format to store URIs, and
would likely break compat with some features that don't go through the
same types as the core logic.
## What
Make `TurnContextItem.cwd` an `AbsolutePathBuf` again, remove test added
for `PathUri` serialization in rollouts. Also drops a bunch of error
paths that are no longer needed.
