## Why
Compaction window identity is part of session history, not model-client
transport state. Persisting it with the compacted rollout item lets
resumed threads continue from the reconstructed window without keeping
mutable window state on `ModelClient`.
## What changed
- Added `window_id` to `CompactedItem` and stamp it when
`replace_compacted_history` installs compacted history.
- Moved auto-compact window id ownership into `AutoCompactWindow` /
`SessionState`; `ModelClient` now receives the request window id from
callers instead of storing it.
- Returned `window_id` from rollout reconstruction for resume.
Reconstruction uses the newest surviving compacted item's stored
`window_id` when present, and falls back to the legacy compacted-item
count when it is absent.
- Kept fork startup at the fresh default window id and updated direct
model-client tests to pass explicit test window ids.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
## Summary
We originally addressed startup prewarming holding the read side of
`RwLock<McpConnectionManager>` by snapshotting tool-list state. Review
feedback identified the broader ownership problem: the outer
synchronization should only publish or retrieve the current manager,
while MCP operations rely on the manager's internal synchronization. A
follow-up preserved operation retirement with a separate gate, but
further review questioned whether that synchronization was actually
required and whether we could support latest-wins replacement instead.
This PR now stores the current MCP manager in `ArcSwap`. Each operation
uses `load_full()` to obtain an owned `Arc<McpConnectionManager>`, then
performs MCP I/O without retaining the publication mechanism. Refresh
cancels obsolete startup work, constructs a replacement, and atomically
publishes it. New operations see the latest manager, while operations
that already loaded the previous manager retain a valid handle. Refresh
happens at a turn boundary, so there should be no active user tool calls
to drain.
Git history supports dropping the outer `RwLock`. It was introduced in
`03ffe4d595` on November 17, 2025 for non-blocking MCP startup: the
session published an empty manager, startup initialized that same object
while holding the write lock, and readers waited for initialization.
`7cd2e84026` on February 19, 2026 removed that two-phase initialization
in favor of constructing a fresh manager and swapping it in, explicitly
noting that `Option` or `OnceCell` could replace the placeholder design.
Hot reload later reused the existing lock to publish a replacement, but
I found no indication that the lock was introduced to guarantee
in-flight tool calls finish before refresh or shutdown.
Terminal shutdown remains separate from refresh: it aborts startup
prewarming and active tasks before shutting down the current manager, so
tool calls may be interrupted and no model WebSocket work continues
after shutdown. Focused regression coverage exercises pending tool-list
cancellation, deferred refresh, and startup-prewarm shutdown.
## Why
Extension contributors are registered behind `dyn Trait` objects, so
native `async fn`/RPITIT methods would make these traits
non-object-safe. Spell out the boxed, `Send` future contract directly so
`extension-api` no longer needs `async-trait` while retaining the
existing runtime model.
## What changed
- add a shared `ExtensionFuture` alias and use it for asynchronous
contributor methods
- migrate production and test implementations to return `Box::pin(async
move { ... })`
- remove `async-trait` dependencies where they are no longer used,
keeping it dev-only where unrelated test executors still require it
## Behavior
No behavior change is intended. Contributor futures remain boxed,
`Send`, dynamically dispatched, and lazily executed; cancellation and
callback ordering stay unchanged.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-extension-api` (11 passed)
- affected extension crates (64 passed)
- targeted `codex-core` contributor tests (14 passed)
- `just fmt`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
A broad local `codex-core` run compiled successfully but encountered
unrelated sandbox and missing test-binary fixture failures; CI will run
the full checks.
## Why
CCA is moving toward a split runtime where the orchestrator may not have
a filesystem, while executors can expose preinstalled plugins and
skills. A thread therefore needs to select capabilities without asking
app-server or core to interpret executor-owned paths through the
orchestrator's filesystem.
The longer-term model is broader than executor skills:
- A plugin is a bundle of skills, MCP servers, connectors/apps, and
hooks.
- A plugin root can be local, executor-owned, or hosted by a backend.
- Components inside one plugin can use different access and execution
mechanisms. A skill may be read from a filesystem or through backend
tools; an HTTP MCP server can run without an executor; a stdio MCP
server or hook needs an execution environment.
- Core should carry generic extension initialization data. The extension
that owns a component should discover it, expose it to the model, and
invoke it through the appropriate runtime.
This PR establishes that architecture through one complete vertical:
selecting a root on an executor, discovering the skills beneath it,
exposing those skills to the model, and reading an explicitly invoked
`SKILL.md` through the same executor.
## Contract
`thread/start` gains an experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` field:
```json
{
"selectedCapabilityRoots": [
{
"id": "deploy-plugin@1",
"location": {
"type": "environment",
"environmentId": "workspace",
"path": "/opt/codex/plugins/deploy"
}
}
]
}
```
The root is intentionally not classified as a "plugin" or "skill" in the
API. It can point at a standalone skill, a directory containing several
skills, or a plugin containing skills and other components. This PR only
teaches the skills extension how to consume it; later extensions can
resolve MCP, connector, and hook components from the same selection.
The platform-supplied `id` is stable selection identity. The location
says which runtime owns the root and gives that runtime an opaque path.
App-server does not inspect or canonicalize the path.
## What changed
### Generic thread extension initialization
App-server converts selected roots into `ExtensionDataInit`. Core
carries that generic initialization value until the final thread ID is
known, then creates thread-scoped `ExtensionData` before lifecycle
contributors run.
This keeps `Session` and core independent of the capability-selection
contract. The initialization value is consumed during construction; it
is not retained as another long-lived `Session` field.
### Executor-backed skills
The skills extension now owns an `ExecutorSkillProvider` that:
- resolves the selected environment through `EnvironmentManager`
- discovers, canonicalizes, and reads skills through that environment's
`ExecutorFileSystem`
- contributes the bounded selected-skill catalog as stable developer
context
- reads an explicitly invoked skill body through the authority that
listed it
- warns when an environment or root is unavailable
- never falls back to the orchestrator filesystem for an executor-owned
root
Skill catalog and instruction fragments have hard byte bounds, which
also bound them below the 10K-token per-item context limit. If a
selected executor skill has the same name as a legacy local skill, the
executor selection owns that invocation and the local body is not
injected a second time.
Existing local and bundled skill loading remains in place. Omitting
`selectedCapabilityRoots` therefore preserves current local-only
behavior.
## Current semantics
- Only environment-owned locations are represented in this first
contract.
- Roots are resolved by the destination extension, not by app-server or
core.
- An unavailable executor or invalid root produces a warning and no
capabilities from that root; it does not trigger a local-filesystem
fallback.
- Selection applies to a newly started active thread.
- MCP servers, connectors, and hooks beneath a selected plugin root are
not activated yet.
- Selection is not yet persisted or inherited across resume, fork, or
subagent creation. Existing local capabilities continue to behave as
they do today in those flows.
## Planned vertical follow-ups
1. **Hosted HTTP MCP:** add an extension-backed HTTP MCP source that
works without an executor, then replace the special-purpose MCP plugins
loader with that implementation.
2. **Executor MCP:** register and execute stdio MCP servers through the
environment that owns the selected plugin root.
3. **Backend skills:** add a hosted skill source whose catalog and
bodies are accessed through extension tools rather than a filesystem.
4. **Connectors and hooks:** activate those components through their
owning extensions, using the same selected-root boundary and
component-specific runtime.
5. **Durable selection:** define the desired-selection lifecycle,
persist it, and make resume, fork, and subagent inheritance explicit
rather than accidental.
6. **Local convergence:** incrementally route existing local plugin,
skill, and MCP loading through the same extension model while preserving
current local behavior.
Each follow-up remains reviewable as an end-to-end capability. The
platform selects roots, generic thread extension data carries the
selection, and the owning extension resolves and operates its component.
## Verification
Coverage added for:
- app-server end-to-end discovery and explicit invocation of a skill
inside an executor-selected plugin root
- exclusive invocation when a selected executor skill collides with a
local skill name
- executor filesystem authority for discovery, canonicalization, and
reads
- thread extension initialization before lifecycle contributors run
- stable executor catalog context, explicit invocation, context
rebuilding, hidden skills, and preserved host/remote catalog behavior
Targeted protocol, core-skills, skills-extension, core lifecycle, and
app-server executor-skill tests were run during development.
## Why
Thread cwd and environment selections are a single logical setting in
core: updating one without the other can silently desynchronize the
next-turn execution context. This change makes that relationship
explicit in the internal thread settings flow while preserving the
existing app-server public API shape.
## What changed
- Moved the cwd/environment pair through internal
`ThreadSettingsOverrides.environment_settings` instead of a top-level
internal `cwd` field.
- Kept `thread/settings/update` public params unchanged, with app-server
translating top-level `cwd` into the paired internal settings shape.
- Moved `Op::UserInput` environment overrides into thread settings so
user turns and settings updates use the same core path.
- Updated core, app-server, MCP, memories, sample, and test callsites to
construct the paired settings shape.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- Local test run starting after PR creation.
## Why
Multi-Agent V2 concurrency should count active non-root turns, not
resident or durable agent threads. The limit is intentionally best
effort: admission checks are synchronous, but concurrent successful
checks may overshoot slightly.
## What changed
- Keep one root-derived execution limit on the shared `AgentControl`.
- Count active V2 subagent turns with an RAII guard owned by
`RunningTask`.
- Check capacity before spawning or starting an idle agent, including
direct app-server `turn/start` submissions.
- Preserve queued delivery for agents that are already running.
- Exempt automatic idle continuations so `/goal` work is not dropped
when capacity is temporarily full.
- Keep root and V1 turns outside this limiter.
## Test coverage
- `execution_guards_count_active_v2_subagent_turns`
- `execution_guards_ignore_root_and_v1_turns`
- `v2_nested_spawn_checks_shared_active_execution_capacity`
## Stack
1. [#26547](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26547) - [1 of 2] Align
goal extension with core behavior
2. [#26548](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26548) - [2 of 2] Move
goal runtime to extension
## Why
This PR completes the switch of the goal behavior to the
extension-backed runtime and removes the old core goal implementation.
## What Changed
- Installs the goal extension for app-server `ThreadManager` sessions.
- Routes app-server thread goal `get`, `set`, and `clear` through
`GoalService`.
- Uses thread-idle lifecycle emission after goal resume and snapshot
ordering so the extension can decide whether to continue the goal.
- Forwards extension goal updates through a FIFO async app-server
notification path so backpressure does not drop them or reorder updates.
- Keeps review turns from enabling goal runtime behavior.
- Plans extension tools before dynamic tools so built-in goal tool names
keep their old precedence when goals are enabled.
- Removes the old core goal runtime, core goal tool handlers, and core
goal tool specs.
- Updates tests that were coupled to the core-owned goal runtime while
leaving the legacy `<goal_context>` compatibility path in core for old
threads.
- Removes the stale cargo-shear ignore now that `codex-goal-extension`
is used by the workspace.
- Keeps realtime event matching exhaustive after removing the old
goal-specific realtime text path.
## Validation
- Ran manual `/goal` runs in TUI. Validated time accounting matched
wall-clock time and goal lifecycle state transitions.
## Why
Windows managed filesystem permissions can now be backed by a real
Windows sandbox. `exec-policy` was still treating the managed read-only
policy shape as if there were never a sandbox backend, so benign
unmatched commands such as PowerShell directory listings could be
rejected with `blocked by policy` even when `windows.sandbox` was
enabled.
The inverse case still needs to stay conservative: when the Windows
sandbox backend is disabled, managed filesystem restrictions are only
configuration intent, not an enforced filesystem boundary. That applies
to writable-root restricted profiles too, not just read-only profiles.
## What Changed
- Thread the effective `WindowsSandboxLevel` into exec-policy approval
decisions for shell, unified exec, and intercepted shell exec paths.
- Treat managed restricted filesystem profiles as lacking sandbox
protection only on Windows when `WindowsSandboxLevel::Disabled`.
- Exclude full-disk-write profiles from that no-backend path because
they do not rely on filesystem sandbox enforcement.
- Remove the cwd-sensitive read-only heuristic and the now-stale cwd
plumbing from exec-policy approval contexts.
- Add Windows coverage for both enabled-sandbox and disabled-backend
behavior, including a writable-root managed profile.
## Validation
- Added/updated `exec_policy` coverage for managed filesystem
restrictions, full-disk-write exclusion, enabled Windows sandbox
behavior, and disabled-backend read-only/writable-root behavior.
- `just test -p codex-core exec_policy` — 100 passed, 10 leaky
- Empirical local `codex exec` probe with `--sandbox read-only -c
'windows.sandbox="unelevated"'`: PowerShell directory listing completed
successfully.
- Disabled-backend control with Windows sandbox cleared: the same
command was rejected with `blocked by policy`.
## Why
Thread settings cwd overrides are expected to be resolved before they
enter core. Keeping this boundary as a plain `PathBuf` made it easy for
core/session code to keep fallback normalization and relative-path
resolution logic in places that should only receive an already-resolved
cwd.
This is intentionally the absolute-cwd-only slice: it does not change
environment selection stickiness or cwd-to-default-environment fallback
behavior.
## What changed
- Changes `ThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`,
`CodexThreadSettingsOverrides.cwd`, and `SessionSettingsUpdate.cwd` to
use `AbsolutePathBuf`.
- Removes core-side cwd normalization/resolution from session settings
updates.
- Updates affected core/app-server test helpers and callsites to pass
existing absolute cwd values or use `abs()` helpers.
## Validation
Opening as draft so CI can start while local validation continues.
## Why
`PermissionProfile` already owns the runtime filesystem sandbox policy
through `file_system_sandbox_policy()`. Keeping a separate
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy` on exec-policy fallback contexts made it
possible for callers and tests to construct split states that the
production permission model should not rely on.
## What changed
- Removed `file_system_sandbox_policy` from `UnmatchedCommandContext`,
`ExecApprovalRequest`, and the intercepted Unix exec-policy context.
- Derived filesystem sandbox policy inside unmatched-command decision
logic from `PermissionProfile::file_system_sandbox_policy()`.
- Simplified shell/unified-exec callers and tests that were only
plumbing the duplicate policy through.
## Testing
Local tests not run per request; relying on remote CI.
## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Why
- Thread initialization analytics do not identify the source thread for
forked threads.
- The session viewer needs this lineage to construct thread trees.
- Depends on openai/openai#987854. Do not release this change before
that backend schema change is deployed.
## What Changed
- Adds optional `forked_from_thread_id` to `codex_thread_initialized`.
- Populates it from the existing thread fork lineage for app-server and
in-process subagent initialization paths.
- Keeps it null for non-forked threads.
## Verification
- `just fmt`
- `just test -p codex-analytics`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
thread_fork_tracks_thread_initialized_analytics`
## Why
Goal idle continuation is extension-triggered model-visible work, so it
should follow one core-owned rule for when automatic work may start. In
particular, it should not jump ahead of queued user/client work, start
while another task is active, or inject a continuation turn while the
thread is in Plan mode.
Keeping this policy in `try_start_turn_if_idle` avoids passing
`collaboration_mode` or review-specific state through
`ThreadLifecycleContributor::on_thread_idle`. Active `/review` is
covered by the same active-task gate because Review turns are not
steerable.
## What Changed
- Teach `Session::try_start_turn_if_idle` to reject automatic idle turns
in Plan mode, both before reserving an idle turn and after building the
turn context.
- Document `CodexThread::try_start_turn_if_idle` as the extension-facing
gate for automatic idle work, including Plan-mode and active Review-task
behavior.
- Add focused coverage for Plan-mode rejection and active Review-task
rejection without queuing synthetic input.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core try_start_turn_if_idle`
## Summary
- Adapts the moved `codex-cloud-config` crate from the legacy cloud
requirements endpoint to the new config bundle endpoint.
- Switches runtime consumers from `CloudRequirementsLoader` to
`CloudConfigBundleLoader` so one shared bundle supplies cloud-delivered
config and requirements.
- Removes the legacy cloud requirements domain loader path.
## Details
This intentionally keeps `codex-cloud-config` monolithic for review
lineage: the previous PR establishes the crate move, and this PR shows
the behavior change against that moved implementation. A follow-up PR
splits the module back into focused files.
The new bundle path preserves the important cloud requirements loader
semantics where intended: account-scoped signed cache, 30 minute TTL, 5
minute refresh cadence, retry/backoff, auth recovery, and fail-closed
startup loading. The cached payload changes from a single requirements
TOML string to the backend-delivered bundle, and validation rejects
malformed config or requirements fragments before cache write/use.

This PR is stacked on #25858, and #25867 is stacked on this PR.
## Why
PR2 lets the model bind a `request_permissions` call to a selected
environment, but the approval event and client-facing request still
needed to carry that binding. For CCA, the user-facing prompt and
delegated approval path should know which environment the grant applies
to instead of relying on cwd alone.
## What Changed
- Added optional `environmentId` to `RequestPermissionsEvent`.
- Emit the selected environment id from core permission approval events.
- Preserve the environment id through delegate forwarding, including
cwd-based delegated requests.
- Added `environmentId` to app-server permission approval params,
generated schema/TypeScript artifacts, and README examples.
- Preserve and display the environment id in TUI permission approval
prompts.

This PR is stacked on #25850; #25862 and #25867 are stacked on this PR.
## Why
PR1 made request-permission grants internally environment-keyed, but the
model-facing `request_permissions` tool could still only target the
primary environment. For CCA and multi-environment turns, the tool needs
an explicit way to bind a permission request to a selected attached
environment before resolving relative paths.
## What Changed
- Added optional `environmentId` to `RequestPermissionsArgs`, with
`environment_id` accepted as an alias.
- Exposed `environmentId` in the `request_permissions` tool schema and
description.
- Resolve the selected environment before parsing filesystem permission
paths, so relative paths bind to the selected environment cwd.
- Route validated tool calls through
`request_permissions_for_environment` directly instead of duplicating
environment lookup in `Session::request_permissions`.
- Reject unknown environment ids with a model-facing error.
- Updated focused request-permissions and Guardian call sites for the
new optional field.

#25858, #25862, and #25867 are stacked on this PR and should be reviewed

## Why
Multi-environment CCA turns can attach both local and remote executors,
but request-permission grants were still effectively cwd-only. Pending
permission requests tracked a cwd, while stored turn/session grants had
no environment identity, so sticky grants could be reused through the
wrong executor context.
This makes the first permission-grant step environment-aware without
changing the external `request_permissions` payload shape: omitted
environment targeting remains bound to the primary turn environment.
## What Changed
- Store turn- and session-scoped request-permission grants by
`environment_id`.
- Keep the selected `TurnEnvironmentSelection` with pending
`request_permissions` calls so approval responses normalize and record
grants against the same environment.
- Resolve relative `request_permissions` file paths against the primary
turn environment cwd instead of deprecated `turn.cwd`.
- Apply sticky grants in `shell`, `exec_command`, and `apply_patch` by
selected environment id while still using the actual tool cwd for
cwd-relative permission materialization.
- Update Guardian and request-permissions coverage for the
environment-keyed grant behavior.

## Summary
Enterprise users can have an effective monthly credit limit, but Codex
`/status` currently drops that metadata from the account-usage response.
This change adds the optional `spend_control.individual_limit`
projection to the existing rate-limit snapshot flow. The backend client
reads the monthly limit, app-server exposes it as `individualLimit`, and
the TUI renders a `Monthly credit limit` row through the existing
progress-bar renderer.
When the backend does not return an effective monthly limit, existing
rate-limit behavior is unchanged.
## Existing backend state
The account-usage backend already returns the effective monthly limit
and current usage together:
```json
{
"spend_control": {
"reached": false,
"individual_limit": {
"limit": "25000",
"used": "8000",
"remaining": "17000",
"used_percent": 32,
"remaining_percent": 68,
"reset_after_seconds": 86400,
"reset_at": 1778137680
}
}
}
```
Before this change, Codex projected rolling `primary` and `secondary`
windows plus `credits`. It ignored `spend_control.individual_limit`, so
app-server clients and `/status` could not render the monthly cap.
The updated flow is:
```text
account usage backend
-> backend-client reads spend_control.individual_limit
-> existing rate-limit snapshot carries optional individual_limit
-> app-server exposes optional individualLimit
-> TUI renders Monthly credit limit
```
## App-server contract
`account/rateLimits/read` and sparse `account/rateLimits/updated`
notifications now include an additive nullable
`rateLimits.individualLimit` field:
```json
{
"individualLimit": {
"limit": "25000",
"used": "8000",
"remainingPercent": 68,
"resetsAt": 1778137680
}
}
```
In an `account/rateLimits/read` response, `null` means no monthly limit
is available. `account/rateLimits/updated` remains a sparse rolling
notification: clients merge available values into their most recent
`account/rateLimits/read` snapshot or refetch. Nullable account metadata
in a rolling notification does not clear a previously observed value.
## Design decisions
- Extend the existing rate-limit snapshot instead of introducing a
separate request or wire-level update protocol.
- Keep the Codex projection narrow: `/status` needs the effective limit,
current usage, remaining percentage, and reset timestamp.
- Render the monthly row through the existing progress-bar renderer,
with one optional detail line for `8,000 of 25,000 credits used`.
- Keep the backend response optional so existing accounts and older
usage states preserve their current behavior.
- Preserve cached monthly metadata when sparse rolling notifications
omit it. Live account-usage reads remain authoritative and can clear a
removed limit.
## Visual evidence

coverage, formatting, and workspace lint cleanup.
## Summary
Remove the dead experimental `persistExtendedHistory` app-server flag
and collapse rollout persistence to the single policy app-server already
used.
## What Changed
- Removed `persistExtendedHistory` from v2 thread start/resume/fork
params and deleted its deprecation notice path.
- Removed the persistence-mode enums and plumbing through core, rollout,
and thread-store.
- Made rollout filtering mode-free, keeping the existing limited
persisted-history behavior.
## Test Plan
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server-protocol
schema_fixtures`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-app-server
thread_shell_command_history_responses_exclude_persisted_command_executions`
- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast -p codex-rollout -p
codex-thread-store`
- final `rg` for removed flag/type names
## Why
The goal extension needs a way to resume an active goal after the thread
becomes idle, but the old core goal runtime should not be refactored as
part of this step. The missing piece is a small core-owned turn-start
primitive: let an extension ask for a normal model turn only when the
thread is idle, and otherwise fail without injecting into whatever is
currently active.
## What Changed
- Adds `CodexThread::try_start_turn_if_idle(...)` as the narrow
extension-facing primitive for synthetic idle work.
- Implements the session side so it refuses to start when:
- the provided input is empty,
- the session is in plan mode,
- a turn is already active, or
- trigger-turn mailbox work is pending.
- Gives trigger-turn mailbox work priority if it appears while the idle
turn is being prepared.
- Wires `GoalExtension::on_thread_idle` to read the active persisted
goal and submit the continuation prompt through this idle-only
primitive.
- Keeps the legacy core goal continuation implementation in place
instead of folding it into this PR.
## Behavior
This is intentionally best-effort. If `try_start_turn_if_idle` observes
that the thread is not idle, or that higher-priority mailbox work should
run first, it returns the input to the caller. The goal extension drops
that continuation prompt and waits for a future idle opportunity instead
of injecting stale synthetic goal text into an active turn.
## Validation

## Why
This PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/24161#discussion_r3325692763
revealed a subagent data modeling issue, where we overloaded
`forked_from_id` to also mean `parent_thread_id`. That's incorrect since
guardian and review subagents can be a subagent and NOT fork the main
thread's history.
The solution here is to explicitly store a new `parent_thread_id` on
`SessionMeta`, alongside `forked_from_id` which already exists. While
we're at it, also expose it in the app-server protocol on the `Thread`
object.
A thread->subagent relationship and a fork of thread history are
orthogonal concepts.
## What Changed
- Added top-level `parent_thread_id` persistence on `SessionMeta` and
runtime/session plumbing through `SessionConfiguredEvent`,
`CodexSpawnArgs`, `SessionConfiguration`, `ThreadConfigSnapshot`,
`TurnContext`, and `ModelClient`.
- Made turn metadata, request headers, analytics, and subagent-start
events read the separate runtime/top-level parent field instead of
deriving general parent lineage from `SessionSource` or
`forked_from_thread_id`.
- Passed parent lineage separately at delegated subagent, review,
guardian, agent-job, and multi-agent spawn construction sites;
copied-history fork lineage remains derived only from `InitialHistory`.
- Persisted and exposed parent lineage through rollout/thread-store
projections and app-server v2 `Thread.parentThreadId`.
- Updated app-server README text and regenerated app-server schema
fixtures for the additive `parentThreadId` response field.
## Why
Goal steering is one form of runtime-owned model context, but the old
`<goal_context>` wrapper made the contextual-fragment hiding path
goal-specific. Using a source-labeled internal context fragment gives
core and extensions a shared shape for hidden model steering while
keeping those prompts out of visible turn history.
The change also keeps legacy `<goal_context>` messages recognized as
hidden contextual input so existing stored history does not start
rendering old goal-steering prompts as user-visible turn items.
## What Changed
- Replaces `GoalContext` with `InternalModelContextFragment` plus a
validated `InternalContextSource`.
- Renders goal steering as `<codex_internal_context
source="goal">...</codex_internal_context>`.
- Updates core goal steering and `ext/goal` steering to inject the new
internal-context fragment.
- Updates contextual-fragment, event-mapping, goal, and session tests
for the new wrapper.
## Test Coverage
- Adds coverage for detecting the new internal model context fragment.
- Preserves coverage for hiding legacy `<goal_context>` fragments.
- Verifies invalid internal context sources are rejected and arbitrary
context tags are not hidden.
- Updates goal steering/session assertions to expect the new
`source="goal"` wrapper.
## Summary
Some permission profiles can encode filesystem reads that should remain
unavailable to the agent. Before this change, the model-visible context
and automatic approval review prompt summarized the effective
permissions as a legacy sandbox mode, which can omit permission-profile
filesystem entries from escalation decisions.
For example, a profile can grant workspace access while denying a
private subtree across every workspace root:
```toml
default_permissions = "restricted-workspace"
[permissions.restricted-workspace.workspace_roots]
"/Users/alice/project" = true
"/Users/alice/other-project" = true
[permissions.restricted-workspace.filesystem]
":minimal" = "read"
[permissions.restricted-workspace.filesystem.":workspace_roots"]
"." = "write"
"private" = "deny"
"private/**" = "deny"
```
The context window now describes the workspace roots and effective
filesystem side of the `PermissionProfile` directly, with deny entries
marked as non-escalatable:
```xml
<environment_context>
<cwd>/Users/alice/project</cwd>
<shell>zsh</shell>
<filesystem><workspace_roots><root>/Users/alice/project</root><root>/Users/alice/other-project</root></workspace_roots><permission_profile type="managed"><file_system type="restricted"><entry access="read"><special>:minimal</special></entry><entry access="write"><path>/Users/alice/project</path></entry><entry access="write"><path>/Users/alice/other-project</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><path>/Users/alice/project/private</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><path>/Users/alice/other-project/private</path></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><glob>/Users/alice/project/private/**</glob></entry><entry access="deny" escalatable="false"><glob>/Users/alice/other-project/private/**</glob></entry></file_system></permission_profile></filesystem>
</environment_context>
```
Managed requirements can impose the same kind of deny-read restriction:
```toml
[permissions.filesystem]
deny_read = [
"/Users/alice/project/private",
"/Users/alice/project/private/**",
]
```
The automatic approval review prompt also receives the parent turn's
denied-read context, so review decisions can account for the active
permission profile.
## What Changed
- Render the effective filesystem profile in `<environment_context>`,
including profile type, filesystem entries, workspace roots, and
non-escalatable deny entries.
- Persist effective `workspace_roots` in `TurnContextItem` so
resumed/replayed context does not have to bind `:workspace_roots`
through legacy `cwd` fallback.
- Add explicit permission instructions that denied reads are policy
restrictions, not escalation targets.
- Pass the parent turn's denied-read context into automatic approval
reviews.
- Add targeted coverage for prompt rendering, workspace-root
materialization, replay context, and review prompt context.
- Keep the prompt-context test expectations platform-aware so the same
filesystem rendering assertions pass on Unix and Windows paths.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
context::environment_context::tests::serialize_environment_context_with_full_filesystem_profile`
- `just test -p codex-core
context::environment_context::tests::turn_context_item_filesystem_uses_workspace_roots_instead_of_cwd`
- `just test -p codex-core
context::permissions_instructions::permissions_instructions_tests::builds_permissions_from_profile_with_denied_reads`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
I also attempted `just test -p codex-core`; the changed prompt-context
tests passed, but the full local run did not complete cleanly in this
sandboxed macOS environment due unrelated user-shell `CODEX_SANDBOX*`
expectations and integration-test timeouts.
## Summary
Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.
## Details
- Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
- Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
generated TypeScript.
- Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core
protocol types.
- Regenerates app-server schema fixtures.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-protocol`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
#24744 introduced the thread idle lifecycle hook so idle continuation
can be owned by lifecycle contributors instead of hard-coded goal
runtime plumbing. Task completion still called
`goal_runtime_apply(GoalRuntimeEvent::MaybeContinueIfIdle)` directly, so
the post-turn idle transition remained goal-specific and did not notify
generic thread lifecycle contributors.
## What Changed
- Add `Session::emit_thread_idle_lifecycle_if_idle()` to gate idle
emission on both no active turn and no queued trigger-turn mailbox work.
- Call that helper when a task clears the active turn, replacing the
direct `GoalRuntimeEvent::MaybeContinueIfIdle` path.
- Cover the behavior with `codex-core` session tests for emitting after
task completion and suppressing idle emission while trigger-turn mailbox
work is pending.
## Verification
- New tests in `core/src/session/tests.rs` exercise the idle lifecycle
emission and trigger-turn mailbox guard.
Summary
- Add TurnErrorInput and TurnLifecycleContributor::on_turn_error to the
extension API.
- Emit the turn-error lifecycle from core turn error paths, including
usage limit failures.
- Add direct lifecycle coverage for the emitted error facts and stores.
Tests
- just fmt
- git diff --check
- Not run: full tests or clippy (per instructions)
## Why
Interrupted `shell_command` calls can race with the outer tool-dispatch
cancellation path. When that happens, the runtime future may be dropped
before the spawned process gets a chance to run `SIGTERM` cleanup. For
bwrapd-backed Linux sandbox commands, that can leave synthetic
protected-path mount bookkeeping such as `.git/.codex` registrations
under `/tmp` behind after a TUI interruption.
The relevant cancellation points are the outer dispatch race in
[`core/src/tools/parallel.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/tools/parallel.rs#L91-L132)
and the process shutdown logic in
[`core/src/exec.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/exec.rs#L1367-L1393).
## What changed
- Keep `shell_command` dispatch alive long enough for the runtime to
finish cancellation cleanup instead of immediately returning the
synthetic aborted response.
- Fold shell-turn cancellation into the existing `ExecExpiration` path
in
[`core/src/tools/runtimes/shell.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/bd184ba84703cc924921ed883f0cf17d3dba60ff/codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell.rs#L267-L274),
so cancellation and timeout behavior stay centralized.
- On cancellation, send `SIGTERM` first, wait briefly for cleanup to
run, then hard-kill any remaining descendants in the original process
group.
- Treat `ESRCH` as an already-gone process-group cleanup case in
`codex-utils-pty`, which keeps best-effort teardown from surfacing a
stale-process race as an error.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core cancellation`
- Added regression coverage for:
- `shell_tool_cancellation_waits_for_runtime_cleanup`
- `process_exec_tool_call_cancellation_allows_sigterm_cleanup`
## Why
When Codex calls responsesapi, we currently send `session_id`,
`thread_id`, and `turn_id` among other things as
`client_metadata["x-codex-turn-metadata"]`. This PR adds
`forked_from_thread_id` which helps explain the "lineage" of a forked
thread.
## What's changed
- Track the immediate history source copied into a forked thread through
thread/session creation, including subagent and review turn metadata
paths.
- Include `forked_from_thread_id` in Codex turn metadata while
preventing turn-scoped Responses API client metadata from overwriting
Codex-owned lineage fields.
- Add coverage for fork lineage in turn metadata and the app-server
Responses API request path.
## Summary
Adds experimental `additionalContext` support to `turn/start` and
`turn/steer` so clients can provide ephemeral external context, such as
browser or automation state, without turning that plumbing into a
visible user prompt or triggering user-prompt lifecycle behavior.
## API Shape
The parameter shape is:
```ts
additionalContext?: Record<string, {
value: string
kind: "untrusted" | "application"
}> | null
```
Example:
```json
{
"additionalContext": {
"browser_info": {
"value": "Active tab is CI failures.",
"kind": "untrusted"
},
"automation_info": {
"value": "CI rerun is in progress.",
"kind": "application"
}
}
}
```
The keys are opaque and caller-defined.
## Context Injection
When provided, accepted entries are inserted into model context as
hidden contextual message items, not as visible thread user-message
items.
`kind: "untrusted"` entries are inserted with role `user`:
```text
<external_${key}>${value}</external_${key}>
```
`kind: "application"` entries are inserted with role `developer`:
```text
<${key}>${value}</${key}>
```
Values are not escaped. Each value is truncated to 1k approximate tokens
before wrapping.
For `turn/start`, accepted additional context is inserted before normal
user input. For `turn/steer`, additional context is merged only when the
steer includes non-empty user input; context-only steers still reject as
empty input.
## Dedupe Strategy
`AdditionalContextStore` lives on session state and stores the latest
complete additional-context map.
Each `turn/start` or non-empty `turn/steer` treats its
`additionalContext` as the current complete set of values. Entries are
injected only when the key is new or the exact entry for that key
changed, including `value` or `kind`. After merging, the store is
replaced with the provided map, so omitted keys are removed from the
retained set and can be injected again later if reintroduced.
Omitting `additionalContext`, passing `null`, or passing an empty object
resets the store to empty and injects nothing.
## What Changed
- Threads experimental v2 `additionalContext` through app-server into
core turn start and steer handling.
- Adds separate contextual fragment types for untrusted user-role
context and application developer-role context.
- Uses pending response input items so additional context can be
combined with normal user input without treating it as prompt text.
- Adds integration coverage for start/steer flow, role routing,
dedupe/reset behavior, deletion/re-add behavior, hook-blocked input
behavior, empty context-only steer rejection, external-fragment marker
matching, and truncation.
## 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.

## Why
The package layout gives Codex a stable place for runtime helpers that
should travel with the entrypoint. `shell_zsh_fork` still required users
to configure `zsh_path` manually, even though we already publish
prebuilt zsh fork artifacts.
This PR builds on #24129 and uses the shared DotSlash artifact fetcher
to include the zsh fork in Codex packages when a matching target
artifact exists. Packaged Codex builds can then discover the bundled
fork automatically; the user/profile `zsh_path` override is removed so
the feature uses the package-managed artifact instead of a legacy path
knob.
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/codex_package/codex-zsh`, a checked-in DotSlash
manifest for the current macOS arm64 and Linux zsh fork artifacts.
- Taught `scripts/build_codex_package.py` to fetch the matching zsh fork
artifact and install it at `codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh` when available
for the selected target.
- Added package layout validation for the optional bundled zsh resource.
- Added `InstallContext::bundled_zsh_path()` and
`InstallContext::bundled_zsh_bin_dir()` for package-layout resource
discovery.
- Threaded the packaged zsh path through config loading as the runtime
`zsh_path` for packaged installs, and removed the config/profile/CLI
override path.
- Kept the packaged default zsh override typed as `AbsolutePathBuf`
until the existing runtime `Config::zsh_path` boundary.
- Updated app-server zsh-fork integration tests to spawn
`codex-app-server` from a temporary package layout with
`codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh`, matching the new packaged discovery path
instead of setting `zsh_path` in config.
- Switched package executable copying from metadata-preserving `copy2()`
to `copyfile()` plus explicit executable bits, which avoids macOS
file-flag failures when local smoke tests use system binaries as inputs.
## Testing
To verify that the `zsh` executable from the Codex package is picked up
correctly, first I ran:
```shell
./scripts/build_codex_package.py
```
which created:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/
```
so then I ran:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/bin/codex exec --enable shell_zsh_fork 'run `echo $0`'
```
which reported the following, as expected:
```
/private/var/folders/vw/x2knqmks50sfhfpy27nftl900000gp/T/codex-package-pms94kdp/codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh
```

* __->__ #23756
## Why
The idea here is to erase the difference between initial and followup
inputs to a turn. Followup inputs are already represented as TurnInput.
Eventual goal is not to have explicit on task input at all and pull
everything from input Q.
## What Changed
- Changes `SessionTask::run` and the erased `AnySessionTask::run` path
to accept `Vec<TurnInput>`.
- Wraps user-submitted spawn input as `TurnInput::UserInput` at the
session task start boundary.
- Updates `run_turn` to record initial `TurnInput` using the same hook
and recording path used for pending input.
- Keeps review-specific conversion local to `ReviewTask`, where the
sub-Codex one-shot API still expects `Vec<UserInput>`.
- Moves the synthetic compact prompt into `CompactTask` and starts
compact tasks with empty task input.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core`
- `just test -p codex-core -E
'test(task_finish_emits_turn_item_lifecycle_for_leftover_pending_user_input)
| test(queued_response_items_for_next_turn_move_into_next_active_turn) |
test(steered_input_reopens_mailbox_delivery_for_current_turn)'`
## Why
[Recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22709) removed
`trace_id` from `TurnContextItem`.
## What changed
- Add to `TurnStartedEvent` so rollout consumers can correlate turns
with telemetry traces.
- Note that the branch name is out of date because I originally re-added
to `TurnContextItem`, but we decided to move it to `TurnStartedEvent`.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib
regular_turn_emits_turn_started_without_waiting_for_startup_prewarm`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
emits_warning_when_resumed_model_differs`
- `cargo test -p codex-rollout`
- `cargo test -p codex-state`
## Why
Model catalog responses can now advertise a nullable
`default_service_tier` for each model. Codex needs to preserve three
distinct states all the way from config/app-server inputs to inference:
- no explicit service tier, so the client may apply the current model
catalog default when FastMode is enabled
- explicit `default`, meaning the user intentionally wants standard
routing
- explicit catalog tier ids such as `priority`, `flex`, or future tiers
Keeping those states distinct prevents the UI from showing one tier
while core sends another, especially after model switches or app-server
`thread/start` / `turn/start` updates.
## What Changed
- Plumbed `default_service_tier` through model catalog protocol types,
app-server model responses, generated schemas, model cache fixtures, and
provider/model-manager conversions.
- Added the request-only `default` service tier sentinel and normalized
legacy config spelling so `fast` in `config.toml` still materializes as
the runtime/request id `priority`.
- Moved catalog default resolution to the TUI/client side, including
recomputing the effective service tier when model/FastMode-dependent
surfaces change.
- Updated app-server thread lifecycle config construction so
`serviceTier: null` preserves explicit standard-routing intent by
mapping to `default` instead of internal `None`.
- Kept core responsible for validating explicit tiers against the
current model and stripping `default` before `/v1/responses`, without
applying catalog defaults itself.
## Validation
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 cargo build -p codex-cli`
- `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 cargo test -p codex-app-server model_list`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui service_tier`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol service_tier_for_request`
- `cargo test -p codex-core get_service_tier`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 cargo test -p codex-core
service_tier`
## Why
Once a named permission profile is selected, runtime state has to keep
that profile identity intact instead of collapsing back to anonymous
effective permissions. The session refresh path also needs to rebuild
profile-derived network proxy state so active profile switches take
effect consistently.
## What changed
- Preserve the active permission profile through session updates.
- Rebuild profile-derived runtime/network configuration when the active
profile changes.
- Keep the runtime path aligned with the current session configuration
APIs.
- Tighten the affected tests, including the Windows delete-pending
memory-file case that was intermittently tripping CI.

## Why
The goal extension can create and surface goals, but the live
turn-accounting path still stopped short of persisting active-goal
progress. That leaves token and wall-clock usage, plus
`ThreadGoalUpdated` events, out of sync with the extension boundary once
work actually advances or a goal transitions out of active state.
## What changed
- Teach `GoalAccountingState` to track the current turn, active goal,
token deltas, and wall-clock progress snapshots against the persisted
goal id.
- Flush active-goal accounting from tool-finish, turn-stop, and
turn-abort lifecycle hooks, and emit `ThreadGoalUpdated` events when
persisted progress changes.
- Route `create_goal` and `update_goal` through the same accounting
state so new goals start from the right baseline, final progress is
flushed before status changes, and `update_goal` can mark a goal
`blocked` as well as `complete`.
- Keep budget-limited goals accruing through the end of the turn while
clearing local active-goal state once a turn or explicit update is
finished.
- Expand backend and lifecycle coverage around store ids, baseline
reset, tool-finish accounting, budget-limited carry-through, and
blocked-goal updates.
## Testing
- Added focused backend coverage in
`codex-rs/ext/goal/tests/goal_extension_backend.rs` for baseline reset,
tool-finish accounting, budget-limited turns, and blocked-goal updates.
- Extended `codex-rs/core/src/session/tests.rs` to assert that lifecycle
inputs expose the expected session, thread, and turn store ids.
## Why
The goal extension needs more context when a turn starts than
`turn_store` alone provides.
In particular, goal accounting needs the stable turn id, the effective
collaboration mode, and the cumulative token-usage baseline captured at
turn start so it can:
- suppress goal accounting for plan-mode turns
- compute exact per-turn deltas from cumulative `total_token_usage`
snapshots instead of relying on the most recent usage event alone
- keep the extension-owned accounting path aligned with the host turn
lifecycle
## What
- extend `codex_extension_api::TurnStartInput` to expose `turn_id`,
`collaboration_mode`, and `token_usage_at_turn_start`
- pass the full `TurnContext` plus the captured token-usage baseline
through the turn-start lifecycle emission path
- initialize goal turn accounting from the turn-start baseline and
collaboration mode
- switch goal token accounting to compute deltas from cumulative
`total_token_usage` snapshots
- add coverage for the new turn-start lifecycle fields and for
goal-accounting baseline behavior
## Testing
- added `turn_start_lifecycle_exposes_turn_metadata_and_token_baseline`
in `codex-rs/core/src/session/tests.rs`
- added `ext/goal/tests/accounting.rs` coverage for baseline-aware goal
accounting and plan-mode suppression
## Summary
- Add `list_available_plugins_to_install` as the inventory step for
plugin and connector install suggestions.
- Slim `request_plugin_install` so it only handles the actual
elicitation, instead of carrying the full discoverable list in its
prompt.
- Emit send-time telemetry when an install elicitation is dispatched,
including requested tool identity in the event payload.
- Emit install-result telemetry through `SessionTelemetry`, including
tool type, user response action, and completion status.
- Update registration and tests to cover the new two-step flow while
keeping the existing `tool_suggest` feature gate unchanged.

# What
`SubagentStart` runs once when Codex creates a thread-spawned subagent,
before that child sends its first model request. Thread-spawned
subagents use `SubagentStart` instead of the normal root-agent
`SessionStart` hook.
Configured handlers match on the subagent `agent_type`, using the same
value passed to `spawn_agent`. When no agent type is specified, Codex
uses the default agent type.
Hook input includes the normal session-start fields plus:
- `agent_id`: the child thread id.
- `agent_type`: the resolved subagent type.
`SubagentStart` may return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`. That
context is added to the child conversation before the first model
request.
# Lifecycle Scope
Only thread-spawned subagents run `SubagentStart`.
Internal/system subagents such as Review, Compact, MemoryConsolidation,
and Other do not run normal `SessionStart` hooks and do not run
`SubagentStart`. This avoids exposing synthetic matcher labels for
internal implementation paths.
Also the `SessionStart` hook no longer fires for subagents, this matches
behavior with other coding agents' implementation
# Stack
1. This PR: add `SubagentStart`.
2. #22873: add `SubagentStop`.
3. #22882: add subagent identity to normal hook inputs.
## Why
Filesystem permission profiles used `none` for deny-read entries, which
is less direct than the action the entry actually represents. This
change makes `deny` the canonical filesystem permission spelling while
preserving compatibility for older configs that still send `none`.
## What changed
- rename `FileSystemAccessMode::None` to `Deny`
- serialize and generate schemas with `deny` as the canonical value
- retain `none` only as a legacy input alias for temporary config
compatibility
- update filesystem glob diagnostics and regression coverage to use the
canonical spelling
- refresh config and app-server schema fixtures to match the new wire
shape

Earlier in the session, a broad `cargo test -p codex-core` run reached
unrelated pre-existing failures in timing/snapshot/git-info tests under
this environment; the targeted surfaces touched by this PR passed
cleanly.
## Why
Steered input was queued as a `ResponseInputItem`, then parsed back into
a user message before recording. That path loses information that only
exists on `UserInput`, such as UI text elements.
This change keeps turn-local pending input typed as either original
`UserInput` or existing response items, so steered user input reaches
user-message recording without being reconstructed from a response item.
## What changed
- Add `TurnInput` for active-turn pending input.
- Queue `Session::steer_input` as `TurnInput::UserInput`.
- Run pending-input hook inspection only for `TurnInput::UserInput`.
- Process drained pending input item by item: accepted items are
recorded, blocked items append hook context and are skipped.
- Remove the pending-input prepend/requeue path.
