WIll make it easier to uprev when the new draft spec is supported.
Also updates reqwest where needed for compatibility but doesn't update
it everywhere since this is already a large diff.
The new version of rmcp handles certain kinds of authentication failures
differently, this patch includes support for identifying the failing scope
in a WWW-Authenticate header.
## Why
When a turn needs a follow-up request after tool output is recorded,
Codex can still appear stuck in `Thinking` before the next `/responses`
request is opened. The existing local trace showed the last completed
response and the absence of a new backend request, but it did not show
whether the stall was in tool-router preparation or later request setup.
Issue: N/A (internal incident investigation)
## What Changed
Added trace spans around the pre-stream tool-router handoff in
`core/src/session/turn.rs`, including the `built_tools` phase and the
MCP manager read lock.
Added per-server MCP tool-listing spans and trace breadcrumbs in
`codex-mcp/src/connection_manager.rs` with startup snapshot /
startup-complete state so a pending MCP client is visible in feedback
logs instead of looking like a silent hang.
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core` (prior full rerun fails in this workspace on
unrelated integration tests: code-mode output length expectations, one
shell timeout formatting assertion, and shell snapshot timeouts; latest
review-fix rerun compiled and passed 1160 tests before I stopped the
abnormally slow unrelated suite)
## Why
The `non_prefixed_mcp_tool_names` feature should be applied where MCP
tools become model-visible, not by remapping names later in core.
Keeping the decision in `McpConnectionManager` construction makes
`ToolInfo` the single shaped view that spec building, deferred tool
search, routing, and unavailable-tool placeholders can consume directly.
This also preserves the existing external behavior while the feature is
off, and keeps the feature-on behavior for code mode and hooks explicit
at the manager boundary.
## What Changed
- Add `McpToolNameMode` to `codex-mcp` and flow it through `McpConfig`
into `McpConnectionManager::new`.
- Normalize MCP `ToolInfo` names in the manager using either
legacy-prefixed namespaces or non-prefixed namespaces; the legacy path
adds `mcp__` without restoring the old trailing namespace suffix.
- Remove the core-side MCP name remapping path so specs, tool search,
session resolution, and unavailable-tool placeholder construction use
the manager-provided `ToolName` values directly.
- Keep code mode flattening on the `__` namespace separator.
- Preserve hook compatibility by giving non-prefixed MCP hook names
legacy `mcp__...` matcher aliases.
- Add/adjust integration and unit coverage for non-prefixed code-mode
behavior, hook matching with the feature on and off, and manager-level
legacy prefixing.

## Summary
- route each configured MCP server through an explicit per-server
`environment_id` instead of a manager-wide remote toggle
- default omitted `environment_id` to `local`, resolve named ids through
`EnvironmentManager`, and fail only the affected MCP server when an
explicit id is unknown
- keep local stdio on the existing local launcher path for now, while
named-environment stdio uses the selected environment backend and
requires an absolute `cwd`
- allow local HTTP MCP servers to keep using the ambient HTTP client
when no local `Environment` is configured; named-environment HTTP MCPs
use that environment's HTTP client
## Validation
- devbox Bazel build: `bazel build --bes_backend= --bes_results_url=
//codex-rs/cli:codex //codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_stdio_server
//codex-rs/rmcp-client:test_streamable_http_server`
- devbox app-server config matrix with real `config.toml` /
`environments.toml` files covering omitted local, explicit local,
omitted local under remote default, explicit remote stdio, local HTTP
without local env, explicit remote HTTP, local stdio without local env,
unknown explicit env, and remote stdio without `cwd`
Adding the id of the plugin that contains the MCP (if any) so we can
apply filters at plugin level.
## Summary
- carry the plugin owner into MCP runtime provenance
- attach `plugin_id` to outbound plugin-backed MCP tool-call `_meta`
- avoid misattributing user-configured MCP servers that shadow plugin
server names
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-mcp`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
plugin_mcp_tool_call_request_meta_includes_plugin_id`
- `cargo test -p codex-core

- `cargo test -p codex-core
rebuild_preserving_session_layers_refreshes_plugin_derived_mcp_config`
- `git diff --check`
## Notes
- Attempted `cargo test -p codex-core`; it aborted in
`agent::control::tests::resume_agent_from_rollout_skips_descendants_when_parent_resume_fails`
with a stack overflow before the full suite completed.
## Why
This PR is the invariant-cleanup layer that follows the workspace-roots
base merged in [#22610](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22610).
#22610 adds `[permissions.<id>.workspace_roots]` and keeps runtime
workspace roots separate from the raw permission profile, but its
in-memory representation is intentionally transitional: `Permissions`
still carries the selected profile identity next to a constrained
`PermissionProfile`. That makes APIs such as
`set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()` fragile
because the id and value only mean the right thing when every caller
keeps them in sync.
This PR introduces a single resolved profile state so profile identity,
`extends`, the profile value, and profile-declared workspace roots
travel together. The next PR,
[#22611](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22611), builds on this by
changing the app-server turn API to select permission profiles by id
plus runtime workspace roots.
## Stack Context
- #22610, now merged: adds profile-declared `workspace_roots`, runtime
workspace roots, and `:workspace_roots` materialization.
- This PR: replaces the parallel active-profile/profile-value fields
with `PermissionProfileState`.
- #22611: switches app-server turn updates toward profile ids plus
runtime workspace roots.
- #22612: updates TUI/exec summaries to show the effective workspace
roots.
Keeping this separate from #22611 is deliberate: reviewers can validate
the internal state invariant before reviewing the app-server protocol
migration.
## What Changed
- Added `ResolvedPermissionProfile::{Legacy, BuiltIn, Named}` and
`PermissionProfileState`.
- Typed built-in profile ids with `BuiltInPermissionProfileId`.
- Moved selected profile identity and profile-declared workspace roots
into the resolved state.
- Replaced `Permissions` parallel profile fields with one
`permission_profile_state`.
- Removed `set_constrained_permission_profile_with_active_profile()`
from session sync paths.
- Kept trusted session replay/`SessionConfigured` compatibility through
explicit session snapshot helpers.
- Updated session configuration, MCP initialization, app-server, exec,
TUI, and guardian call sites to consume `&PermissionProfile` directly.
## Review Guide
Start with `codex-rs/core/src/config/resolved_permission_profile.rs`; it
is the new invariant boundary. Then review
`codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` to see how config loading records
active profile identity and profile workspace roots. The remaining
call-site changes are mostly mechanical fallout from
`Permissions::permission_profile()` returning `&PermissionProfile`
instead of `&Constrained<PermissionProfile>`.
## Verification
The existing config/session coverage now constructs and asserts through
`PermissionProfileState`. The workspace-root config test also asserts
that profile-declared roots are preserved in the resolved state, which
is the behavior #22611 relies on when runtime roots become mutable
through the app-server API.

## Why
The MCP tool path had accumulated a few core-owned special cases: a
dedicated payload variant, resolver plumbing, a legacy `AfterToolUse`
translation path, and a side channel for parallel-call metadata. That
made `ToolRegistry` and the spec builder know more about MCP than they
needed to.
This change moves MCP-specific execution details back onto `ToolInfo`
and `McpHandler` so `codex-core` can treat MCP calls like normal
function calls while still preserving MCP-specific dispatch and
telemetry behavior where it belongs.
## What changed
- removed `resolve_mcp_tool_info`, `ToolPayload::Mcp`, `ToolKind`, and
the remaining registry-side MCP resolver path
- stored MCP routing metadata directly on `McpHandler` and `ToolInfo`,
including `supports_parallel_tool_calls`
- deleted the legacy `AfterToolUse` consumer in `core`, which removes
the need for handler-specific `after_tool_use_payload` implementations
- switched tool-result telemetry to handler-provided tags and kept
MCP-specific dispatch payload construction inside the handler
- simplified tool spec planning/building by passing `ToolInfo` directly
and dropping the direct/deferred MCP wrapper structs and the
parallel-server side table

## Why
We've added support for auth elicitation behind the auth_elicitation
flag, but servers need to explicitly check the capability before it
decides to send elicitations in order to be backward compatible. This PR
adds the capability advertising conditioned on the flag.
## What changed
- Build `client_elicitation_capability` from the `AuthElicitation`
feature state.
- Thread that capability through MCP config, session startup, and
`McpConnectionManager` so RMCP initialization advertises the correct
elicitation support.
- Advertise both `form` and `url` elicitation when the feature is
enabled, and preserve the empty default capability when it is disabled.
- Add coverage for the feature-derived config shape and the advertised
initialization payload.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
to_mcp_config_preserves_auth_elicitation_feature_from_config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` *(currently fails outside this change in
`tools::handlers::multi_agents::tests::tool_handlers_cascade_close_and_resume_and_keep_explicitly_closed_subtrees_closed`
with a stack overflow after unrelated tests have started running)*
## Summary
This PR removes the synthetic `HashMap<String, ToolInfo>` keys from MCP
tool discovery. `McpConnectionManager::list_all_tools()` now returns
normalized `Vec<ToolInfo>`, and downstream code derives identity from
`ToolInfo::canonical_tool_name()`.
The motivation is to keep model-visible tool identity on
`ToolName`/`ToolInfo` instead of parallel string map keys, so future
namespace changes do not have to preserve otherwise-unused lookup keys.
## Changes
- Rename the MCP normalization path from `qualify_tools` to
`normalize_tools_for_model` and return tool values directly.
- Flow MCP tool lists through connectors, plugin injection, router/spec
building, code mode, and tool search as vectors/slices.
- Keep direct/deferred subtraction local to `mcp_tool_exposure`, using
`ToolName` values.
- Update tests to compare `ToolName` instances where MCP identity
matters.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp test_normalize_tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_tool_exposure`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
direct_mcp_tools_register_namespaced_handlers`

search_tool_registers_namespaced_mcp_tool_aliases`
- `just fix -p codex-mcp`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## DISCLAIMER
This is experimental and no production service must rely on this
## Why
Built-in MCPs are product-owned runtime capabilities, but they were
previously flattened into the same config-backed stdio path as
user-configured servers. That made them depend on a hidden `codex
builtin-mcp` re-exec path, exposed them through config-oriented CLI
flows, and erased distinctions the runtime needs to preserve—most
notably whether an MCP call should count as external context for
memory-mode pollution.
## What changed
- Model product-owned built-ins separately from config-backed MCP
servers via `BuiltinMcpServer` and `EffectiveMcpServer`.
- Launch built-ins in process through a reusable async transport instead
of the hidden `builtin-mcp` stdio subcommand.
- Keep config-oriented CLI operations such as `codex mcp
list/get/login/logout` scoped to configured servers, while merging
built-ins only into the effective runtime server set.
- Retain server metadata after launch so parallel-tool support and
context classification come from the live server set; built-in
`memories` is now classified as local Codex state rather than external
context.
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test suite
builtin_memories_mcp_call_does_not_mark_thread_memory_mode_polluted_when_configured`

# Motivation
Browser Use origin-access prompts are MCP elicitations, not direct
tool-call approval prompts, so they were bypassing the Guardian approval
path. We need a generic opt-in that lets eligible MCP elicitations use
Guardian when the current turn already routes approvals there.
# Description
Add a generic elicitation reviewer hook in codex-mcp and wire codex-core
to pass a Guardian reviewer callback when creating the MCP connection
manager. The reviewer validates explicit mcp_tool_call opt-in metadata,
builds a Guardian MCP tool-call review request from
server/tool/connector metadata and tool params, and maps Guardian
approval, denial, timeout, and cancellation decisions back to MCP
elicitation responses.
The new option to trigger this in the `_meta` object is:
```
"codex_request_type": "approval_request",
```

## Summary
Xcode 26.4 was built against app-server behavior from before MCP
elicitation requests became client-visible in CLI 0.120.0 via #17043.
That client line does not expect the new events/messages, so this PR
restores the old behavior for exactly that client/version combination.
The compatibility handling stays in the app-server layer: when the
initialized client is `Xcode` and its version starts with `26.4`, the
app server marks the live Codex thread so MCP elicitations are
auto-denied. The flag is applied on thread start/resume/fork/turn
attachment, carried through `Codex`/`CodexThread`, and stored on
`McpConnectionManager` so refreshed MCP managers preserve the behavior.
## Notes
This is intentionally narrow and includes a TODO to remove the
compatibility path once Xcode 26.4 ages out.
## Why
Several bug reports describe thread shutdown (including subagent
threads) leaving stdio MCP server processes behind. These reports all
point at the same lifecycle gap: Codex launches stdio MCP servers, but
the session-level shutdown path does not explicitly close MCP clients or
terminate the server process tree.
Fixes#12491Fixes#12976Fixes#18881Fixes#19469
## History
This is best understood as a regression/coverage gap in MCP session
lifecycle management, not as stdio MCP cleanup being absent all along.
#10710 added process-group cleanup for stdio MCP servers, but that
cleanup only runs when the `RmcpClient`/transport is dropped. The older
reports (#12491 and #12976) came after that cleanup existed, which
suggests the remaining problem was that some higher-level shutdown paths
kept the MCP manager alive or replaced it without explicitly draining
clients. The newer reports (#18881 and #19469) exposed the same family
around manager replacement and shutdown.
## What changed
- Added an explicit stdio MCP process handle in `codex-rmcp-client` so
local MCP servers terminate their process group and executor-backed MCP
servers call the executor process terminator.
- Added `RmcpClient::shutdown()` and manager-level MCP shutdown draining
so session shutdown, channel-close fallback, MCP refresh, and connector
probing stop owned MCP clients.
- Added regression coverage that starts a stdio MCP server, begins an
in-flight blocking tool call, shuts down the client, and asserts the
server process exits.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `just fix -p codex-rmcp-client`
- `just fix -p codex-mcp`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- Manual before/after validation with a temporary repro script:
- Pre-fix binary from `HEAD^` (`fed0a8f4fa`): reproduced the leak with
surviving MCP server and child PIDs, `survivors=[77583, 77592]`,
`leaked=true`.
- Post-fix binary from this branch (`67e318148b`): verified both MCP
processes were gone after interrupting `codex exec`, `survivors=[]`,
`leaked=false`.
