## Why
Changing a deferred tool's output schema could add or remove the shared MCP type preamble from the `exec` description.
## What changed
Include the default or configured MCP TypeScript preamble whenever `code_mode_only` is enabled, regardless of the available tools' output schemas. Preserve an empty preamble override as a way to omit the section.
## Testing
Add a regression test that checks description stability when a deferred tool gains an MCP output schema, covering default, custom, and empty preambles. Update description expectations, request snapshots, and two Guardian context-budget test thresholds for the added preamble.
GitOrigin-RevId: 725035d6159e9da3c4beff5482c426c082e768b4
## Why
When `flush_transcript_tail_on_session_end` is enabled, remaining speech must be available in thread history as soon as realtime closure is reported, even while a model response is still running. Saving that transcript should not trigger another model request.
## What changed
Record the transcript tail directly in model and client history, attaching it to the active turn or creating a completed history turn when idle. Flush persistence before emitting `RealtimeConversationClosed`, and keep realtime context active until recording finishes so the return to text instructions follow the transcript.
## Testing
Extend core and app-server tests to cover immediate history visibility in paginated and legacy modes, idle and active turns, closure without extra inference, transcript reuse in subsequent text turns, and interruption after closure.
GitOrigin-RevId: ae323b711f22aa88db1432e24ad4bb3eb3f08f6b
## What changed
Add a scenario test and snapshot covering the request before remote `/compact`, the compaction request, the persisted replacement history, and the first subsequent user turn.
Capture the replacement history before the next turn can update its context, and assert that the compaction request contains one `compaction_trigger` and the next request includes the returned encrypted checkpoint.
GitOrigin-RevId: e22e12f16bdb11b1296e81a2e0ffd5f70e560ff6
## Why
Bedrock catalogs cleared all service-tier metadata, and requests omitted every selected tier. This prevented users from selecting `ultrafast` or using tiers defined in custom catalogs.
## What changed
- Advertise `ultrafast` for `openai.gpt-6-astra` on Mantle and the `global.openai.gpt-6-astra` and `us.openai.gpt-6-astra` Runtime variants, while retaining the implicit default tier unless users select otherwise.
- Preserve custom catalog speed tiers, service-tier definitions, and defaults while continuing to normalize Bedrock web search compatibility.
- Send selected service tiers only when the Bedrock model advertises them, including `flex`.
## Testing
Add coverage for `model/list` tier discovery, custom catalog preservation, configured and per-turn HTTP request tiers, and TUI slash-command selection, toggling, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4793e7af7b9f604a6b7812611030da6adb8acd35
## What changed
Allow Responses-compatible providers to configure live web access and remote compaction under `model_providers.<id>.capabilities`:
```toml
[model_providers.custom.capabilities]
external_web_access = false
remote_compaction = "v2"
```
`external_web_access = false` keeps hosted web search from accessing the live web. `remote_compaction` accepts `v2` to send `compaction_trigger` items through the Responses endpoint, or `unsupported` to use local compaction. Omitted capabilities retain existing provider defaults.
## Testing
Add unit coverage for preserving unspecified defaults and a request-snapshot scenario verifying cached web search and V2 compaction for a custom provider.
GitOrigin-RevId: fbcc4870aa51c112af575d711679a3941d1e7878
## Why
Streamed `response.failed` events can carry retry advice in `response.error.headers`. Ignoring it loses server-provided delays or uses a conflicting delay from a rate-limit message.
## What changed
- Parse nested `Retry-After` headers using the existing HTTP header validation and retry parser, and preserve them for rate-limit, overload, and generic retryable failures.
- Prefer valid headers over rate-limit message advice, falling back to the message when the header is absent or invalid. Keep terminal error classifications unchanged.
- Reject unrepresentable plaintext retry durations without panicking.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for header precedence, validation, and terminal errors, plus retry-loop coverage for SSE sampling, remote compaction, and WebSocket failures.
GitOrigin-RevId: 46433c2e9e6d5e804211ef96950fadd70e322b49
## What changed
- Remove `stdout`, `stderr`, and `formatted_output` from `CommandExecutionItem` and `ExecCommandEndEvent`, retaining `aggregated_output` as the output field.
- Update command event producers, legacy conversion, rollout traces, and the precomputed schema. Use aggregated output for terminal trace results.
- Clear `interaction_input` in emitted and migrated command completion items.
## Testing
Update command execution and trace tests to use aggregated output, and assert that legacy rollout migration preserves `aggregatedOutput`.
GitOrigin-RevId: ed59827d4a5ec9a767084ee4feac72c2042440f2
## What changed
Remove `initial_messages` from `SessionConfiguredEvent` and the corresponding schema. Stop attaching replay history to startup events for resumed or rejoined threads, and remove `InitialHistory::get_event_msgs`.
## Testing
Update the MCP resume test to verify persisted tool events through `load_history`, and retain coverage that resumed requests include prior conversation items.
GitOrigin-RevId: 54b72bc44423c9b1ef2051891ef392c0ede32fe5
## What changed
Add an MCP integration test that forwards sandbox state from tool-call metadata unchanged to `codex sandbox --sandbox-state-json` and runs a real subprocess.
Verify that workspace writes succeed, overwriting an existing file outside the workspace fails and preserves its contents, and relative paths resolve against `sandboxCwd` rather than the MCP server's working directory.
GitOrigin-RevId: 768513c74679010e806a62dffdde6b7cccbfb41f
## What changed
Add `CodexThread::current_turn_model` to return the model slug selected for the named running turn's next step, independently of settings for future turns. Return `None` when the turn ID does not match, the task is cancelled, or the turn is no longer running.
## Testing
Extend the step-settings test to verify that the accessor ignores model changes for future turns, reflects active-turn model updates, and returns `None` for a mismatched ID or a completed turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2cae7c07fa761ed4d64befaa3419a2f9bce4b161
## Why
Unread queue-only messages prevented idle agents from unloading, and sending a
message to an evicted agent reloaded its session. Pending mail should not require
an idle recipient to occupy a loaded thread slot.
## What changed
- Retain queue-only mail in an in-memory runtime mailbox when a session unloads.
Queue new messages for locally evicted agents without reloading them or
starting a turn.
- Add `AgentControl::take_mailbox` and `AgentControl::watch_mailbox` so sessions
can consume retained mail and react to host mailbox notifications.
- Preserve message order across eviction, reload, and subsequent follow-ups.
Keep agents with outstanding durable sleep or turn-triggering mail loaded,
and discard retained mail when an agent is removed or its tree shuts down.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for retaining mail across eviction, sending while
unloaded, and ordering messages around a follow-up after reload. Add a host
controller test verifying that mailbox notifications wake `wait_agent` and
that the message is delivered exactly once.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4b55647f9ee9d1aaf3753f0688863bda81617327
## Why
Subagents spawned without forked history do not receive their parent's client-defined dynamic tools, preventing them from using those tools for delegated work.
## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `multi_agent_v2_dynamic_tools` feature flag. When enabled, fresh V2 subagents inherit the parent's dynamic tool definitions and persist them in session metadata.
## Testing
Add coverage for V1 and V2 feature gating, tool persistence, and a fresh V2 subagent calling an inherited tool and receiving its result without inheriting parent history. Update TUI assertions and a snapshot to reflect blank-line separation and question text in recovered answers.
GitOrigin-RevId: a17a16bf5570f54ce922c1521cffb883022354f2
## What changed
- Centralize `windows-sys` at version `0.61.2` in the workspace and migrate dependent crates to it.
- Adapt Windows API calls to the updated handle, boolean, and type definitions. Replace custom handle owners with `OwnedHandle` and use `BorrowedHandle` where ownership stays with the caller.
- Add explicit wrappers for non-owning Windows handles passed between threads.
## Testing
Enable the MCP refresh cleanup test on Windows. Retain process handles to verify that a superseded MCP server stays alive during an in-flight call, exits after cancellation, and leaves the replacement running until shutdown.
GitOrigin-RevId: 86f53d9b300d13edff7154f4a7c32e34dacd2919
## Why
Environment changes and overlapping catalog refreshes can cause a step to use another step's selected plugins or executor skills. Model context and skill tools need to agree on the capabilities captured for that step.
## What changed
- Resolve selected plugins from each step's ready capability roots, honoring disabled plugins, and retain the snapshot with the step's extension data.
- Use that snapshot for skill attribution in World State and the first step's active-plugin telemetry.
- Return executor skill catalogs directly from refresh so overlapping requests render their own results while retaining thread caches.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for overlapping executor catalogs and environment changes during step preparation. Verify that `skills.list` retains the original step's skills, the next step advertises the new skills, and disabled executor and plugin skills remain absent from model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 37d3cbe8c7e062fd06290aa985ada4d3b3462d43
## Why
Legacy MCP tool discovery discarded pagination cursors, leaving tools on later pages unavailable.
## What changed
Pass `tools/list` pagination cursors to the existing collector in both legacy and modern protocol modes. Legacy discovery now follows subsequent pages and applies the same pagination limits and cursor validation as modern discovery.
## Testing
Extend integration coverage to both protocol modes, checking that tools from later pages reach the model and can be called successfully, while catalogs with oversized cursors are rejected. Update the legacy discovery test to expect an error for a repeated cursor.
GitOrigin-RevId: a6daa8034d2a403c1f2a5846e385789d8a620af7
## Why
A user restriction such as “Cancel the deployment” can fall outside the recent-message window after unrelated status questions. Guardian reviews need that restriction when assessing delegated actions.
## What changed
- Preserve root user messages during handoff relevance filtering, subject to the existing shared message cap.
- Apply handoff filtering during heartbeats while retaining saved heartbeat instructions and the active turn's trusted skills.
- Mark assistant context as incomplete when handoff filtering omits it, so ordinary user replies are not interpreted without their missing context.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for restrictions followed by status questions, bounded user history, omitted assistant questions, and trusted skills across first and repeated heartbeats. Update the delegation request-history snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67f77313572dc54225713cd7cdb90f06b0fbe030
## Why
Concurrent Linux test spawns can inherit writable descriptors for executable fixtures, preventing those fixtures from being executed even after the writing test closes its descriptor.
## What changed
Replace direct executable fixture writes and copies across the Rust tests with `codex_utils_cargo_bin::write_executable` and `copy_executable`. These existing helpers complete writes and copies in separate processes on Linux.
Remove the empty temporary inode before creating fake bubblewrap executables, and stage tampered bubblewrap bytes in a separate data file before copying them into the executable fixture. Add the required test dependencies.
GitOrigin-RevId: c875c83088731a4933ef1574e8d79d8cecc12f54
## Why
Short sender replies such as `👍` need preceding assistant context to be understood during a delegation review. User messages alone omit that context.
## What changed
- Capture preceding assistant context alongside up to three recent sender user messages at delivery, for Guardian only. Label assistant messages as untrusted context rather than authorization or verified questions.
- Share the existing 900-byte budget per exchange, prioritize user evidence, and report unavailable assistant context.
- Recognize `cloud_threads.send_message` deliveries and accept both compact and indented delegation envelopes.
## Testing
Expand integration coverage for app, TUI, and cloud-thread deliveries, contextual replies, and budget-driven omissions. Assert that sender user and assistant context stays out of the delegated agent's prompt.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4eca369cbb30241635273f729dec81b78ea57faf
## Why
`codex exec` and the TypeScript SDK need a way to request a Cyber access program for an individual turn. Resuming with an API key can also leave compaction using a saved program that the current credentials cannot access.
## What changed
- Add `--cyber-access-program` with `standard`, `daybreak_blue`, and `daybreak_red`, and expose the equivalent `cyberAccessProgram` turn option and `CyberAccessProgram` type in the TypeScript SDK.
- Apply explicit selections to new, resumed, and prompted fork turns. Override automatic Daybreak selection for that turn without changing the saved choice. Reject the flag for review and forks without a prompt.
- Filter Cyber programs by the built-in OpenAI provider when starting turns and restoring previous-turn settings for compaction.
- Allow previous-model compaction fallback with API-key authentication, comparing both model and program so a program change can trigger a retry with the current pair even when the model is unchanged.
## Testing
Add CLI help, argument parsing, exec, and SDK coverage for per-turn selection and unsupported commands. Extend core tests for API-key compaction retries, denied explicit selections, custom-provider filtering, remote compaction, and WebSocket response reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: 586f25b621924f3bc509c9a39b39fe2020ff9cd2
## Why
Executor skill reads need to use the environments and permissions captured for the current step, including newly approved grants. Cached continuation pages must remain bound to the filesystem and permissions that produced them.
## What changed
- Supply borrowed `EnvironmentAccess` to turn-input contributors and extension tools, with session and originating-turn grants already applied.
- Require executor skill reads to use filesystem access from an environment available to the callback, and replace separate optional read contexts with `SkillReadContext`.
- Bind skill pagination snapshots to `EnvironmentAccessKey`, which identifies the source filesystem and callback permissions.
- Route image-generation filesystem operations through the same accessor.
## Testing
Extend skill-read integration coverage to verify that a denied reference becomes readable after a turn-scoped grant is captured by the next model step. Update Windows coverage to verify that restricted reads fail when the executor cannot enforce a sandbox, and add a test requiring turn environment selection before exposing capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 825b49302319965835d61c77fc5bcdb951e10543
## What changed
Return snapshots and model-visible fragments together from world-state rendering, and use those snapshots for history baselines, step updates, compaction, and new context windows.
Update `WorldStateSectionContribution` so its renderer returns an optional replacement snapshot and an optional fragment. A missing snapshot preserves stored section state, even when retained history requires a fresh render; a null snapshot removes the section. Derive step patches from the history baseline rather than a separately captured live world state.
Adapt skills and Git attribution contributors to the new contract.
## Testing
Add coverage for skipped snapshot updates, explicit section removal, changed-state patch replay, unchanged-state deduplication, and matching live and persisted checkpoints when starting a new context window.
GitOrigin-RevId: af71606a278358ae937853cb76e8a019a501408e
## What changed
Add `turn_extension_init` to thread startup and settings, and expose `WithTurnExtensionData` for turn input, recovery, and settings requests. Accept or reject data updates together with the request that supplies them.
Each new turn captures the configured data, including automatically started turns. Accepted steering updates the data for future turns while preserving the running turn's capture. Plain requests preserve the configured data; an empty initializer clears it. The data is not persisted and must be supplied again on cold resume.
Expose `current_turn_extension_data` to retrieve typed data only when the requested turn is still running and has not been cancelled.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering initial capture, accepted and rejected steering, inheritance by an automatic turn, clearing future data without changing the active capture, and rejection of lookups for an earlier turn.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd81eda3e32c7b62d783c772221858f4c0e68264
## What changed
Expose `ThreadManager::request_agent_tree_shutdown` and an `AgentTreeShutdown::wait` handle. Requests reject new starts in the shared runtime, cancel pending startup, and signal every session in that tree, including delegates outside the thread registry. Waiting covers admitted operations and session teardown, and reports cleanup or persistence writer failures. Other root trees remain unaffected; registry removal and persistence handoff remain caller responsibilities.
Retain tree membership through startup, cancelled spawn cleanup, residency eviction, and completion watchers. Release persistence resources before returning startup failures, and stop completion watchers during tree shutdown without reporting shutdown as a child result.
## Testing
Add coverage for tree isolation, children removed from the registry, delegate teardown, cancellation during required MCP initialization, aborted teardown, persistence writer failures, and successful retry after a failed resume releases its writer.
GitOrigin-RevId: a109e25adf23d20baf7595891099947050c6b6b5
## What changed
When the model catalog is provided in context and model overrides are exposed, tell V2 `spawn_agent` callers to inherit the current model unless the user explicitly asks for a different model. Include this guidance even when spawn metadata is hidden.
## Testing
Extend tool-description tests to cover hidden metadata with both inline and context catalogs, and update request-level assertions for V1 and V2 model override guidance.
GitOrigin-RevId: b70b0f09b0b5987a0eccba578196b8ef7cee4baf
## What changed
Capture each environment's effective Windows sandbox backend in the MCP runtime and include it as `useMxc` in sandbox state metadata for supporting servers. Use the server's captured environment selection, including local fallback, so the local MXC preference does not leak into attached environments. Default missing backend information to `false`.
## Testing
Extend tests to cover MXC metadata handoff, attachment isolation, local fallback without a selected local environment, and preservation of captured backend settings across runtime refreshes.
GitOrigin-RevId: f559bffeff383838334e5a475b1eab608d571fa1
## Why
An inaccessible user profile directory can prevent sandboxed PowerShell from preserving its working directory and resolving relative paths in a project beneath that profile.
## What changed
Pass `USERPROFILE` to elevated setup and refresh. When the command's working directory is beneath an absolute profile path, grant the sandbox group non-inheriting `FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES` access to the profile directory.
Preserve existing permissions and deny ACEs during non-inheriting ACL updates without propagating changes to descendants. Expand generic deny masks when checking for conflicting permissions.
## Testing
Add a Windows regression test that checks PowerShell's working directory and reading `.\public.txt` beneath a protected profile. Add an ACL test that verifies a non-inheriting grant leaves an unprotected child's security descriptor unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7f142a7ffdee795c3255d4a6e79568fa9391c055
## What changed
- Start a turn-owned notification receiver using the same remote board client and session identity as the board tools. Deliver post previews as agent messages and cancel the receiver when the turn stops, aborts, or errors.
- Wait for the initial connection attempt before inference, then retry failed or disconnected streams without waking idle agents.
- Skip malformed notices, mismatched recipients or turns, and oversized previews. Reject delivery to stale or canceled turns and bound remote notices to a 1 KiB context budget.
## Testing
Extend remote board tests to cover interrupted setup, connection failures, reconnection, invalid and stale notices, preview delivery into model context, and receiver shutdown after turn completion.
GitOrigin-RevId: c7c8d977fe74b7a5cb3bd8216dc0146f3f297e44
## Why
`windows.allowed_sandbox_implementations` permits MXC regardless of the listed implementations. Managed requirements need a separate way to block both explicit MXC configuration and automatic selection through `prefer_mxc`.
## What changed
Add the optional managed requirement `windows.allow_mxc`. Setting it to `false` disables automatic MXC selection and rejects explicit `windows.sandbox = "mxc"` configuration with an error identifying the requirement. Leaving it unset or setting it to `true` preserves existing behavior.
## Testing
Add coverage for the requirement alongside allowed sandbox implementations, preference resolution, and cloud-managed opt-out behavior for implicit, elevated, and explicit MXC configurations.
GitOrigin-RevId: a458a7b4c92cf17e687dbbad8208884d1c097da5
## Why
Resuming a thread rereads persisted history even when a preloaded snapshot is unchanged. Reusing that snapshot must still account for writes committed before writer ownership is acquired.
## What changed
- Carry optional, non-serialized revisions from stored history and model context through thread and agent resume paths.
- Validate the revision under writer ownership and reuse the shared snapshot when it matches. Reload stored history when the revision is missing or changed, while preserving explicit history overrides.
- Resolve the selected rollout before loading context, validate compressed snapshots before materialization, and enforce archived-thread restrictions on canonical paths.
## Testing
Extend coverage for snapshot reuse and late-write refresh in legacy and paginated histories, compressed rollout reuse, archived rollout symlinks, and cold child restoration that includes edits made after preloading history.
GitOrigin-RevId: e1fd7aee6ef2b30f41951e6b7e6b01c3e1420cab
## Why
A stored history snapshot can become stale before a resumed thread acquires writer ownership. Resume must include writes committed before that acquisition.
## What changed
Make `ThreadStore::resume_thread` return the replay context and use it for session restoration and metadata initialization. The local store refreshes stored snapshots while holding writer ownership, reads through the installed writer to honor explicit rollout paths, and releases the writer if loading context fails. Explicit histories without a canonical session header retain their override semantics.
## Testing
Extend resume tests to cover edits made after the initial snapshot in both legacy and paginated history modes, stale SQLite rollout paths, and preservation of explicitly supplied history.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2361f524d324c859f5dfcf2863320e2045736c2e
## Why
User goal edits and clears need to reach the model as user instructions, including when a thread is unloaded or history is being compacted. Automatic goal lifecycle updates must not supply user authorization.
## What changed
- Add optional `origin` values of `user` and `automatic` to `thread/goal/set` and `thread/goal/clear`, and mark TUI goal requests as user actions. Omitted origins do not supply user authorization.
- Persist explicit user objective, status, and clear instructions before changing goal state. Recording failures leave goal state unchanged.
- Coordinate goal edits with thread resume, reload stored history under writer ownership, and preserve edits accepted after the compaction input snapshot.
- Update generated protocol schemas and TypeScript and Python bindings.
## Testing
Add coverage for user edits and clears on loaded and unloaded threads, concurrent path-based resume, exclusion of automatic goals from user instructions, preservation of edits during compaction, and recording failures that leave goal state unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: d779d7c678a0c32a6ef76975dbe5b1400d1df245
## Why
Guardian and parent requests can arrive in either order after a command yields. A shared response sequence can let parent requests consume Guardian review decisions.
## What changed
Match Guardian responses separately and drive parent responses from the latest tool output in the strict automatic network review test. Poll running sessions with `write_stdin` until the process exits, and assert that the command and network request each receive Guardian review.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21300abd65a3b2d439e8c1ea04e4429d5bd528dd
## Why
Guardian does not consume skills, but host skill discovery can block its startup or turn creation when the primary executor is offline.
## What changed
Skip plugin and skill warmup during Guardian session initialization, and use an empty host skills snapshot when building Guardian turn contexts.
## Testing
Add a regression test that discovers skills for the parent session, disconnects its primary executor, and verifies that Guardian still reviews and denies a network permission request.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3c12129721c82cb78a3fa618d6b05faea631966a
## Why
Refreshing available model descriptions changes the `spawn_agent` tool schema. Keep model choices current while preserving tool definitions and earlier conversation input.
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `model_catalog_in_context` feature for multi-agent V1 and V2. When enabled and model overrides are available, move model listings from tool descriptions into developer `<model_catalog>` messages.
- Include picker-visible, compatible models with descriptions, reasoning efforts, and service tiers in a listing bounded to 1,000 bytes. Point `spawn_agent` guidance to the latest catalog.
- Append updated listings only when their rendered content changes, restore missing listings, and invalidate retained catalogs when they no longer apply.
## Testing
Extend integration coverage for V1 and V2 with the feature enabled and disabled. Verify that catalog refreshes preserve tool definitions and prior input when enabled, append the updated listing once, and retain the existing tool-description behavior when disabled. Add a request-history snapshot for the V1 opt-in path.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67b11b4ad6c35f00d0e29edf6343bb0b4804d797
## Why
`TurnAborted` could be emitted before extension abort callbacks finished, allowing consumers to observe a terminal event while lifecycle cleanup was still pending.
## What changed
Await `on_turn_abort` within task abort handling before emitting `TurnAborted`, retaining callback delivery for already-cancelled tasks. Document that `on_turn_stop` and `on_turn_abort` complete before their corresponding terminal events, if emitted.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for interrupt, conditional interrupt, and shutdown. Hold the abort callback open to verify that `TurnAborted` waits for completion, then verify that the callback runs exactly once with the expected turn ID and abort reason.
GitOrigin-RevId: f34d7e94d04c02544178dc445b85abc65a6ce499
## Why
Login shell startup can reset `PATH`, preventing commands and their children from finding bundled tools such as `rg` in executor-reported directories.
## What changed
When `login_shell_package_path` is enabled, prepend missing executor-reported directories to `PATH` inside the POSIX login shell before running the requested command. Preserve existing entries and the order of newly added directories, and export `PATH` for child commands.
Respect explicit `PATH` overrides and preserve the requested login mode when directories are unusable or `PATH` is read-only. Keep shell diagnostics and `$LINENO` aligned with the original script, including when directory names contain newlines. The feature remains disabled by default.
## Testing
Add shell tests for nested tool lookup, existing entries, quoting, line numbers, and read-only `PATH`. Extend remote execution tests to cover feature gating, explicit overrides, unusable directories, and preservation of the original command in execution events.
GitOrigin-RevId: 301aa34e72cc6292293693250e190c19903f390a
## Why
Responses overload and exhausted-request errors could terminate despite server retry advice, and WebSocket-to-HTTP fallback could issue a request before the advised deadline.
## What changed
- Allow `ServerOverloaded` and `RetryLimit` errors to retry when server advice is present, within the configured retry budgets.
- Preserve `Retry-After` headers from rejected WebSocket upgrades and wait for the server deadline before falling back to HTTP.
- Keep quota, usage-limit, and policy failures terminal even when they include retry advice.
## Testing
Add coverage for HTTP overload and rate-limit recovery, WebSocket upgrade rejection and fallback timing, retry deadline preservation through error mapping, and retry limits for sampling and manual and automatic compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 72d30a9f078652664754dfa971fd7dc7a78f20e8
## What changed
Forward explicit `cyberAccessProgram` selections for the built-in OpenAI provider when both `api_key_cyber_access_programs` and `api_key_model_discovery` are enabled. The new feature defaults to disabled and can be toggled through the app server's experimental feature enablement API.
Reject explicit selections in OpenAI API-key sessions when either feature is disabled, instead of silently omitting the program. Leave entitlement and model restrictions to the server, and preserve the requested program when a server rejection triggers transport retries.
## Testing
Add app-server coverage for both feature gates, forwarding all three program values, and server rejection without fallback. Update core coverage for API-key resumes with disabled features and custom-provider omission.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa639afb841aa651b28f6f3f61198299372baa2d
## Why
Persistence and aggregate metadata budgets can omit tool-call observations that are still relevant to the current request, including tool result metadata needed during compaction.
## What changed
- Retain live direct-call observations separately from bounded persisted outputs, keyed by response item ID so reused call IDs cannot mix results.
- Restore those observations for sampling and compaction, pruning them only when sampling confirms they have left the history window. Preserve observations across shortened compaction retries.
- Remove aggregate prompt metadata caps while retaining per-call argument limits and the outgoing message size limit. Invalidate cell completeness when argument normalization truncates a recorded call.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for exhausted persistence budgets, reused call IDs and reversed completion order, shortened compaction retries, and completeness after argument truncation. Extend integration coverage for large Code Mode metadata, provider metadata support, and fork/resume behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 004082b69bff9cc8b05f36d1052057f163c67f07
## What changed
- Instrument MCP OAuth loads, saves, deletes, fallback cleanup, and refresh persistence with credential-free storage metrics, distinguishing configured policy from operations on a pinned store.
- Retain the originating client across background tasks, blocking storage operations, and session recovery, including recovery after startup found no credentials.
- Preserve typed keyring and lock error categories for metrics and remove raw error details from storage warnings.
## Testing
Add tests for policy and pinned-store outcomes, best-effort cleanup failures, wrapped lock errors, and successful or failed refresh persistence without duplicate observations. Add recovery tests that verify client attribution after anonymous startup and across threads with different originators.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ea4528bcdcf500c8ffdf1d9c7008ea52112c726
## Why
Elevated sandbox tests share machine-local Windows accounts. Concurrent setup can rotate account passwords between another test's setup and logon.
## What changed
- Add a shared file-lock guard for elevated sandbox tests in `codex-core`, `codex-exec-server`, and `codex-windows-sandbox`, held through sandbox commands and cleanup.
- Queue these tests in a single-threaded Nextest group before their timeouts start, while retaining the file lock to coordinate other test processes.
- Limit account locking to tests that use elevated accounts and remove the sandbox crate's blanket Bazel `exclusive-if-local` tag.

## Why
Denied-read policies previously kept explicitly approved commands within their original filesystem restrictions, preventing operations that need broader write access, such as updating Git metadata.
## What changed
- Apply broader filesystem permissions after approval of explicit escalation while retaining the sandbox, denied reads, and network policy. Command allow rules alone do not widen filesystem access.
- Reject escalation when the required local sandbox is unavailable or a remote exec server lacks support for preserving the restrictions.
- Track escalated terminal access so subsequent `write_stdin` calls still require review when stdin approval is enabled.
## Testing
Add coverage for approved and denied escalation, allow rules, remote server compatibility, and stdin approval before input delivery. Add a Windows integration test verifying that an approved `git pull` updates Git metadata while exact-path and glob-based read denials remain enforced. Serialize Windows sandbox integration tests across processes to protect shared test account credentials.

## What changed
Preserve catalog `multi_agent_version` values instead of forcing V1, allowing models that declare V2 to use it by default. Retain Ultra in supported reasoning levels so it appears in the Astra advanced reasoning picker for Bedrock Mantle and Runtime.
## Testing
Add coverage for preserving configured multi-agent versions, selecting V2 and exposing `collaboration.spawn_agent` and `collaboration.followup_task` without the V2 feature flag, and displaying and selecting Ultra in both Bedrock reasoning pickers.

Add `gpt-6.1-sol` to the bundled model catalog with its capabilities,
reasoning levels, and availability message. Give it the highest catalog
priority and update older Sol descriptions to reflect their generations.
Update startup, model picker, and tool catalog snapshots to reflect the
new default and catalog contents.

## Why
A subagent stopped by repeated Guardian denials remained interrupted without notifying its parent. The parent needs guidance to report the stop and wait for explicit user confirmation before continuing the blocked work.
## What changed
Forward `TooManyDenials` interruptions from `MultiAgentV2` children to their parents with Guardian-specific guidance to inform the user and avoid resuming or retrying until the user explicitly confirms. Preserve the child's `Interrupted` status and keep ordinary interruptions silent.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for parent notifications under `CircuitBreakAction::Strict`, silence under `CircuitBreakAction::Default`, and preservation of the child's interrupted status. Add a unit test ensuring long denial messages stay within the notification token limit while retaining the guidance.

## Why
Stale thread capability roots can reconnect executors that are not selected for the current turn and shadow selected roots with the same ID.
## What changed
Filter out roots whose environments are absent from the turn snapshot before deduplication and readiness resolution. Update app-server capability tests to explicitly select the executor environments used by each turn, including after resume.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for full-access and workspace-write permissions, verifying that stale roots never connect an unselected executor, selected roots with matching IDs remain available, and turns with no environments expose no roots.

## Why
`TurnComplete` can arrive before the previous turn finishes teardown, making `start_turn_if_idle` race with cleanup in the encrypted parent reply scenario.
## What changed
Submit the reply through `Op::InterAgentCommunication` so it queues through the same mailbox path as real agent messages. The scenario continues to verify that the encrypted parent reply appears exactly once in each incremental Guardian review.

## Why
Responses prewarm can reconnect and consume scripted WebSocket replies intended for realtime conversations when both share a test server.
## What changed
- Give realtime conversations a separate scripted server in tests for runtime replacement, prompts, and voice selection.
- Disable Responses WebSocket prewarm in the audio/text round-trip test while preserving coverage of the default realtime endpoint.
- Update connection counts and request assertions to address only realtime connections.

## What changed
Add `features.multi_agent_v2.message_board_remote` with a board URL and a bearer token supplied directly or through an environment variable. When configured, use the remote board in preference to local or in-memory storage, including in ephemeral sessions, while preserving the existing board tools and session identity.
Ignore remote board settings in project-local configuration and use the runtime HTTP client and clock for remote requests.
## Testing
Add a mock-server integration test and snapshot covering an ephemeral session posting through the existing tool, with the expected bearer authentication, session identity, timestamp, and returned post.

## Why
Steering and recovery requests can have different traces from the turn they join. Sampling can also finish while tools remain in flight. Tracing needs to preserve that correlation and distinguish sampling time from time spent waiting for tools.
## What changed
- Add `codex.turn_input` spans with `conversation.id` and the accepted `turn.id` for started, steered, and recovered turns.
- Add sampling, tool-blocking, and automatic and manual compaction spans with `codex.turn.phase` and conversation and turn IDs. End the sampling span before draining outstanding tools.
- Emit a `codex.mailbox_preemption` event when pending mailbox input preempts sampling.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for cross-trace steering and recovery, sampling and tool-blocking boundaries through a blocked dynamic tool, and completion or interruption. Extend mailbox preemption tests to check event emission with preemption enabled or deferred.
