## Why
WebSocket telemetry reparses text frames to extract event kinds that the transport already decodes.
## What changed
Pass decoded event kinds to telemetry and report receive failures separately. Keep JSON parsing for timing metrics and as a fallback when stream event decoding fails. Remove the `tokio-tungstenite` dependency from `codex-otel` and restrict it to tests in `codex-core`.
Limit wrapped error parsing to error events or failed stream decoding, preserving HTTP error forwarding when unrelated stream fields are malformed.
## Testing
Update runtime summary coverage to include receive failures and extend the WebSocket error forwarding test with a malformed stream field.

## Why
Core tests depend on `codex-app-server` to install and clean up agent message boards. A dedicated host crate lets them use this functionality without depending on the app server.
## What changed
Move the existing host implementation into `codex-agent-message-board-host` and update core test helpers and scenarios to use it directly. Keep the installation and deletion functions re-exported from `codex-app-server`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9ed62d50a5f31c70550d70ba3c583399e869168a
## What changed
- Share a lazily registered runtime across threads, model discovery, and extension clients when `runtime_agent_instances` is enabled, while honoring each thread's authentication mode and credential owner.
- Bind model catalogs to the effective provider and authentication context while preserving cache policy and live API-key discovery settings.
- Resolve credentials, routing, and transport policy together for each request. Preserve proxy and TLS settings, validate runtime account selectors, and prevent pooled connections from crossing runtime identities.
- Accept supported ChatGPT subdomains when selecting the registration environment.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for shared runtime registration, dual-header and assertion-only modes, disabled and third-party providers, credential replacement, subagents, and delegated review. Add coverage for catalog cache policy and runtime-aware connection reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: 99dd9d987c29c93597a648f6586f98ac6a932c3c
## What changed
Move permanent agent message board deletion from `codex-core` into the app server's thread-store cleanup callback. Keep board cleanup active when the board feature is disabled, and run it before optional Guardian evidence-board cleanup.
Remove the message board extension dependency from `codex-core` and retain `codex-message-board` only as a development dependency. Update the core test harness to install the app server's cleanup callback.
GitOrigin-RevId: 61813bbdcd8b57073b8c249e1f771e3fb0ea061e
## What changed
Move the board host adapter and `install_agent_message_board` from `codex-core` to `codex-app-server`, using public core runtime interfaces. Update extension registration, test callers, dependencies, and installation documentation to use the new location.
Format `CHANNEL_POST` notification payloads in the host adapter and retain recognition of legacy board notices in core. Expose `MULTI_AGENT_V2_NAMESPACE_DESCRIPTION` for host extensions to share with native tools.
GitOrigin-RevId: 679b5751de102bff80e6b9d4b0728a84fbdedd85
## What changed
Expose `launch_in_memory()` and `LocalServer` to run a loopback HTTP endpoint with generated bearer credentials. Runners register a shared in-memory board per session through `add_board(session_id, host)`, using `MessageBoardHost` for membership, clocks, and notifications without a SQLite registry.
The handle exposes the endpoint and authorization header for MCP configuration, including plugin endpoint overrides. Dropping it cancels HTTP and MCP sessions; `shutdown().await` also waits for completion.
## Testing
Extend the parent/child HTTP integration scenario to cover the in-memory launcher, plugin endpoint overrides, host-provided timestamps, authentication and invalid identity rejection, and operation without creating a SQLite board database.
GitOrigin-RevId: e1cae295724a35f4eded290ba8a4e19926b98c13
## What changed
Add the default-disabled `critical_path_timing` feature to capture dependency paths for root-agent turns. Connect direct tool dispatch, execution-lock handoffs, and completed tool batches to turn timing so overlapping work shares its common history without double counting.
Omit captures for unsupported dependencies, including CodeMode, agent communication, approval review, and user waits. Settle aborted tasks before freezing timing, invalidate captures on forced teardown, and apply runtime feature changes only to future turns.
## Testing
Add coverage for serial and overlapping tool dispatch, execution-lock dependency handoffs, cancellation, unsupported paths, frozen timing after completion, and configuration refresh boundaries.
GitOrigin-RevId: 71458b654b1c4a05799886928b449c948ea33109
## What changed
- Add opt-in runtime authentication through `ModelClient::with_runtime_auth`, requiring the provider and runtime manager to share the selected OpenAI credentials.
- Keep runtime identity, credentials, routing, and transport selection consistent for each request and its retries, signing a fresh assertion for each attempt.
- Apply authentication asynchronously to WebSocket handshakes, replace stale authentication headers, and reconnect when the runtime changes.
- Reject account, organization, or project selectors that conflict with the registered runtime, and preserve gateway OAuth composition.
## Testing
Add coverage for dual-header and assertion-only authentication, HTTP retries, runtime replacement and account switches, stale WebSocket headers, selector mismatches, gateway OAuth failures, transport revocation, and Realtime compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 45b9efc2c80481406a0f6f6396a8cdd21d933c12
## What changed
Move `HeadTailBuffer` and `format_output_omission_marker` into the new
`codex-utils-head-tail-buffer` crate, exposing the buffer API with an explicit
const-generic byte budget. Update core callers to use the crate and add Cargo
and Bazel definitions.
Move the existing buffer tests alongside the implementation, preserving the
prefix/suffix retention and omission-marker behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: ff488d0a0a62c39c0e11c11ebb539166cc4c6e74
## What changed
Move the message-board API, types, permissions, storage backends, and tool implementations into the new `codex-message-board` crate. Keep extension registration in `codex-agent-message-board-extension`, and update core and the remote client to use the shared crate directly.
Move the existing board tests with the implementation and add the crate to the Cargo workspace and Bazel build.
GitOrigin-RevId: 33ce527c2bef7f862eba55cb9b32222902ccf4ad
## Why
Contextual fragments and extension-owned world-state sections currently return strings, limiting them to text content.
## What changed
- Return `ContentItem` from fragment bodies and rendering, preserving classification and attribution. Apply text markers only to `InputText`; pass other content through unchanged.
- Allow extension prompt and world-state contributions to carry typed content, and preserve media in context-window hints.
- Hash non-text world-state fragments by their serialized content and role while retaining the existing text hashing behavior.
- Add shared content-to-tool-output conversion that preserves image references, image detail, and audio.
## Testing
Add coverage for typed world-state hashing and preservation of image content and attribution. Expand code-mode output tests to cover input text, output text, file-backed and inline images, and audio.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ed00d466a3f169b151202f3eef71e667ea64be1
## What changed
- Add `grpc+stdio://` as a host transport and the disabled-by-default `code_mode_host_grpc` feature flag to select it.
- Share a lazy HTTP/2 channel and host process across code-mode sessions while keeping session state isolated.
- Use HTTP/2 keepalives to detect unresponsive hosts, kill and reap disconnected children, and spawn a fresh host on reconnect. Exit the host when its stdio connection closes.
## Testing
Add coverage for shared-host session isolation, host exit on stdin EOF, and recovery after an unresponsive host is reaped. Exercise nested tool calls with both legacy stdio and gRPC stdio, asserting that the feature flag selects the expected transport.
GitOrigin-RevId: 31389d8540de236b8e0571d3c24e29e117b75c4a
## What changed
- Use the standard shell executor and remove the zsh fork escalation runtime, `codex-execve-wrapper`, and `shell-escalation` crate.
- Ignore `shell_zsh_fork` and `unified_exec_zsh_fork`, emit migration notices for legacy configuration, and warn when ignoring managed requirements for these flags.
- Keep the active session's `apply_patch` alias directory readable under restricted filesystem permissions.
## Testing
Add coverage for legacy configuration startup and shell execution, migration notice rendering, active alias directory selection, and nested `apply_patch` execution while other files in `CODEX_HOME` remain unreadable.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43af461fea32b4980550ee7237effd2bc0646ed8
## 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
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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 26d4606cb1fdcac65926d29835bed4eac04c19c0
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 263413d90a1ee4c0bdba8c1b08ba9f68bdd7a986
## Why
Background helpers launched from a detached Windows process can allocate console windows. Job Object launches and containment fallbacks need to preserve console suppression as well.
## What changed
- Add `codex_utils_process::background_command` to set `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` on Windows, and use it across background subprocess launches, including Git, plugins, authentication, diagnostics, and sandbox helpers.
- Centralize console suppression in Job Object launches. Keep `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` when retrying without containment, and clear `CREATE_SUSPENDED` so the fallback child can run.
- Preserve console inheritance for interactive shell launches and interactive AWS authentication refreshes.
## Testing
Add Windows regression tests covering console-free launches from detached parents through standard and Tokio commands, stdout/stderr capture, successful containment, Job Object creation and assignment failures, and sandbox setup refresh helpers.
GitOrigin-RevId: b2c238fa7d4f9fbd868e5adf7d4be9958ff01e6c
## What changed
- Register the existing message-board tools with the app server through a lifecycle extension, gated on `agent_message_board`, multi-agent v2, and non-ephemeral sessions. The new feature flag is disabled by default.
- Bind tools to each agent's identity and share the SQLite-backed board across the agent tree and runtime resumes.
- Use the runtime clock for posts and deliver ID-only notifications to running agents, with tools to retrieve post contents. Skip inactive recipients without starting them or queuing notices.
- Emit a warning and leave board tools unavailable if initialization fails.
## Testing
Add runtime scenarios and a context snapshot covering feature gating without creating storage, posting and searching, active-only notifications, sharing with child agents, persistence across resume, and clock failure without channel creation.
GitOrigin-RevId: a81bd85cd372b0d122ba375ed1a1bfd3ba3a3b7c
## What changed
Move assessment parsing and schema, model selection, review outcomes, retry handling, and rejection circuit breakers into `codex-guardian-reviewer`. Update core to use the extracted APIs while retaining session execution and decision enforcement in the host.
## Testing
Move existing assessment, circuit breaker, and retry tests into the new crate, including coverage for transient errors, cancellation, and deadlines.
GitOrigin-RevId: 96ec9989a0066acb012bf3bec0b9f7d8bf11a4ef
## What changed
- Add the `codex-attachment-store` crate with storage-neutral attachment metadata, references, errors, and an asynchronous persistence interface.
- Provide an inline implementation that preserves attachment bytes as media-typed base64 data URLs.
- Inject the store into `ThreadManager`, expose it to consumers, and retain inline storage as the default for existing entry points.
## Testing
- Verify inline storage round-trips binary, text, PNG, and JPEG data.
- Verify attachment debug output redacts URLs while retaining file IDs.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7688dcd3c89d7540ed2398f3e7c63881fbfcda97
## Why
Git root discovery is optional metadata work, but filesystem probes can block. They should not exhaust Tokio's blocking pool, delay runtime shutdown, or prevent later turns from observing repository changes.
## What changed
- Add a shared `GitRootDiscovery` service that coalesces concurrent lookups for the same working directory and limits probes across directories.
- Run probes on detached threads, retain in-flight work across caller cancellation, and discard completed results instead of caching them.
- Use the service for turn and memory metadata enrichment, abort unused turn enrichment when its state is dropped, and limit memory metadata waits to one second.
## Testing
Add coverage for probe sharing, capacity limits, cancellation, fresh discovery, runtime shutdown, memory timeouts, and repositories restored after startup prewarming.
GitOrigin-RevId: bca46fc263e7a12a2f69146d8a0b3e7c7e0846cb
## What changed
- Add the `codex-config-schema` workspace and Bazel crate for the
`codex-write-config-schema` binary.
- Preserve `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json` as the default output location.
- Update `just write-config-schema` to run the new crate and remove the schema
generator's `clap` dependency and binary target from `codex-core`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7447f97d6e44d1077b16d2d850f8a8add9117ea6
## Why
Context compaction can replace original conversation items that Guardian still needs to review approval-sensitive actions.
## What changed
- Retain a bounded, chronological review history independently of the model's compacted history.
- Keep separate limits for user messages and other transcript items so tool traffic cannot evict user instructions.
- Use the retained evidence for synchronous and asynchronous Guardian transcripts, while resetting it after rollback or history reconstruction.
## Testing
- Cover retention through compaction and eviction, reset behavior after rollback, independent size limits, and asynchronous transcript construction.
GitOrigin-RevId: c5851e992820504fc18de8cfec7f6f9f1b69f316
## What changed
- Add `codex-agent-roles` for agent role configuration types, parsing,
discovery, validation, and layered loading.
- Update `codex-core` to consume the new crate's public role configuration and
parsing APIs.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5a963a219a581b2848dae6fd071aa31a0b5ff22c
## Why
App-server logs can be persisted or included in submitted diagnostics, so credentials used by model providers, authentication refreshes, and attestation requests must not appear in diagnostic output.
## What changed
- Add `RedactedString`, which preserves serialization and string access while replacing debug output with `<redacted>`.
- Use it for model-provider bearer tokens, header and query values, authentication command arguments, and attestation tokens.
- Avoid logging JSON-RPC error payloads and parser or authentication errors that may echo credentials; retain safe context such as error codes and categories.
## Testing
- Add an app-server regression test that exercises provider credentials, refreshed authentication tokens, and attestation tokens, then verifies none appear in persisted SQLite or submitted diagnostic logs.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8c50408adf94d93847658b1320682cf3b637d2cc
## What changed
- Add `codex-history` for model-history and persisted-rollout domain types, including `RolloutItem`, `RolloutLine`, `CompactedItem`, and initial/resumed history state.
- Re-export the persisted types from `codex-rollout` and update consumers to use the new crate boundary instead of `codex-protocol`.
- Preserve existing rollout serialization, including legacy numeric compacted-window IDs.
## Testing
- Add `codex-history` tests for rollout JSON round trips, compacted-history compatibility, persisted history modes, and multi-agent version selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 944daa9297ddd231d3aebbdcb05fff4adf8b4e1b
## What changed
- Move `SkillLoadOutcome` and its implicit-path indexing into
`codex-skills-extension`.
- Import shared skill types directly from `codex-skills` and keep the skill
prompt size limit with the extension renderer that uses it.
- Remove `codex-core-skills` from the Cargo workspace and dependent crates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4e9e84909fa2f692bcc94af990bb4671affd776f
## What changed
- Add a `codex-diagnostics` crate that snapshots the process ID, available
resident-memory measurements, and registered process-wide gauges.
- Provide guards that update gauges for the lifetime of measured objects.
- Track live `CodexThread` instances with the `core.threads.live` gauge.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for gauge registration, guard lifetimes, process memory
snapshots, and live-thread reporting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3236b086bd4ebe31ed4768ab87a5fa288b0891b0
## What changed
- Move host skill discovery, snapshot caching, and configuration handling from
`codex-core-skills` to `codex-skills-extension`.
- Rename `SkillsService` and `SkillsLoadInput` to `HostSkillsService` and
`HostSkillsLoadInput` to distinguish the host implementation from other skill
providers.
- Keep shared loading primitives and skill outcome modeling in
`codex-core-skills`.
GitOrigin-RevId: d81a21791d2ef8c066e157e7e538b8cb7ee4c24b
## What changed
- Add `codex-utils-audio` as a workspace crate for canonicalizing audio inputs
and estimating their token usage.
- Update `codex-core` to consume the new crate while preserving the existing
audio preparation tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: d719ecc08363ef52778aa37f3df0ca14f7778324
## Why
`codex-http-client` is the intended owner of `reqwest`, while direct first-party
dependencies are tracked as migration debt.
## What changed
- Use `http` header and status types directly in core code and tests.
- Build the MCP test readiness client through `HttpClientBuilder`.
- Remove `reqwest` from `codex-core` and its temporary dependency-policy
exception.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8d5c7c86256294a7bb8aa1ae10cc5bea4cb1fc56
## Why
The TUI must inspect the default execution environment before loading its final
configuration. Initializing the environment manager at that point can give
startup services the bootstrap HTTP policy instead of the effective policy after
managed requirements are applied.
## What changed
- Split environment discovery from manager construction so callers can inspect
the default environment without starting remote connections.
- Build the environment manager after final configuration loading and pass its
resolved `HttpClientFactory` through all construction paths.
- Add shared test support for managers that use the legacy default HTTP policy.
## Testing
- Cover connection-free environment discovery and explicit HTTP policy
propagation.
- Verify TUI startup services use the final managed `respect_system_proxy` value.
GitOrigin-RevId: 928fa31e6b4bcfbe1a121cade2f351427fdfa0f4
## Why
A fixed character limit does not account for the different context-window sizes supported by models.
## What changed
- Budget extension-rendered skill metadata at 2% of the resolved model context window, capped at 4,000 tokens.
- Keep the existing 8,000-character fallback when model context metadata is unavailable.
- Include the omission marker in the budget and still emit it when no skill entry fits.
- Apply the same resolved budget to executor and host skill catalogs assembled for a turn.
## Testing
- Cover proportional and capped budgets, multibyte fallback accounting, and omission-marker behavior.
- Verify through the production turn path that larger model context windows include more catalog entries without exceeding the computed budget.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4667293f1594de4dd605b32b9fa4255d26772c0f
## What changed
- Define and export skill metadata, policy, dependency, interface, and configuration rule types from `codex-skills`.
- Update core, plugin, and extension consumers to use the shared models while retaining compatibility re-exports from `codex-core-skills`.
- Share product-restriction handling between host and environment skill metadata.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for default and explicit implicit-invocation and product policies.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9093469f8fff8e2d902dc9781235f64709827a87
## What changed
- Remove the `spawn_agents_on_csv` and `report_agent_job_result` tools and their agent-job runtime and state models.
- Drop the legacy `agent_jobs` and `agent_job_items` tables during state database migration.
- Keep `features.enable_fanout` and `agents.job_max_runtime_seconds` accepted as no-op compatibility settings while omitting them from the generated configuration schema.
## Testing
- Verify upgrades remove both legacy agent-job tables.
- Verify the removed feature and configuration keys still parse without taking effect.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8cc3337da78c67162229f02f40a747f503542646
## Why
Audio attachments could be dropped from tool outputs and reconstructed thread history, while inline base64 payload size could overstate their model context cost.
## What changed
- Preserve remote and local audio attachments in legacy user-message events and thread history.
- Keep audio from function and custom tool outputs when the model supports it and the output fits the truncation budget; otherwise replace it with an omission marker.
- Estimate inline audio cost from its duration, with a serialized-size fallback for malformed or unsupported data URLs, so compaction and truncation use model-visible cost instead of raw base64 size.
- Replace audio in messages and tool outputs with an explanatory placeholder for models without audio input support.
## Testing
Add coverage for history round trips, dynamic tool responses, modality filtering, duration-based context estimates, output-budget truncation, and remote compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ed4628850a668f8383b7cd73db71b144cc02cd1
## What changed
- Define `SleepItem` in `codex-extension-items` and carry `clock.sleep` events through `TurnItem::Extension`.
- Preserve sleep persistence, thread-history reconstruction, and the app-server's `type: "sleep"` schema while reusing the extension-owned type.
## Testing
- Add serialization coverage for the `clock.sleep` extension wire shape and its protocol wrapper.
- Update sleep lifecycle and thread-history tests to exercise the extension-owned item.
GitOrigin-RevId: 34bb33ed9b90a09bf4744aafdb56e019c717a168
## Description
This PR moves review-mode markers onto canonical `TurnItem` lifecycle:
- `TurnItem::EnteredReviewMode`
- `TurnItem::ExitedReviewMode`
Core now emits `ItemStarted` / `ItemCompleted` for both. The completed
items map back into the existing `EnteredReviewMode` /
`ExitedReviewMode` events, so raw core event consumers and legacy
rollout persistence keep seeing the old events.
This is the compatibility layer needed before paginated rollouts persist
review markers as `ItemCompleted(TurnItem)`.
## Why
Review markers were one of the remaining app-server thread items created
directly from legacy events. Giving them canonical items lets paginated
history persist stable turn/item IDs without changing legacy rollouts.
## What changed
- Added canonical review-mode `TurnItem`s and switched review flow to
emit their lifecycle.
- Added completed-item → legacy review event mappings with stable
turn/item IDs.
- Switched app-server live notifications to the generic canonical item
path and kept legacy replay compatible with old payloads.
- Updated `ThreadHistoryBuilder` to replay canonical review items even
though review turns still do not emit `TurnStarted`.
## Description
This PR adds a `codex-extension-items` crate for extension-owned
`TurnItem` schemas, and updates standalone image generation to start
using it via `TurnItem::Extension`.
This gives us a way to prevent Core from having to be aware of all
extension items. App-server still exposes the existing public
`ThreadItem::ImageGeneration` shape, now by wrapping the same shared
`image_generation::ImageGenerationItem` type.
The new `codex-extension-items` crate is necessary because the image gen
extension item is used by:
- `codex-image-generation-extension`, which produces it.
- `codex-tools / core`, which carry it generically.
- `codex-protocol`, which serializes it into lifecycle events and
rollouts.
- `app-server protocol`, which wraps it in public
`ThreadItem::ImageGeneration`
```
extension implementation
↓
codex-extension-items
↓
protocol / tools / app-server
```
We keep the hosted Responses API image generation as
`TurnItem::ImageGeneration` because core still owns its persistence and
legacy fanout.
### Before
Standalone image generation is implemented as an extension, but its item
representation previously lived in the core protocol. This sets the
precedent that core is aware of all extension items, which would be good
to avoid.
```
image-gen extension
→ constructs codex_protocol::ImageGenerationItem
→ emits ExtensionTurnItem::ImageGeneration
→ core matches ImageGeneration specially
→ protocol stores TurnItem::ImageGeneration
```
### After
```
image-gen extension
→ constructs extension-owned ImageGenerationItem
→ emits generic ExtensionItem
→ core transports/persists it generically
→ app-server wraps ImageGenerationItem as ThreadItem::ImageGeneration
```
Future extension items can have typed app-server APIs without adding a
new `TurnItem` variant, `ExtensionTurnItem` variant, or core emitter
match arm.
## What changed
- Added `codex-extension-items` with the closed `ExtensionItem` enum and
shared `image_generation::ImageGenerationItem` schema.
- Added generic `TurnItem::Extension(ExtensionItem)` and
`ExtensionTurnItem::Extension { item, legacy_events }` paths.
- Updated standalone image generation to emit a typed extension item and
provide its existing legacy `ImageGenerationBegin` /
`ImageGenerationEnd` events explicitly.
- Kept canonical lifecycle ordering: core emits `ItemStarted` /
`ItemCompleted` before extension-provided legacy events.
## Follow-up
Standalone web search still uses its typed special-case path. Migrating
it later would let `ExtensionTurnItem` collapse into a single
extension-item struct.
## Why
`features.respect_system_proxy` already routes authentication traffic
through the OS proxy APIs, but it does not affect the primary inference
path. That leaves users behind OS-managed proxies unable to send normal
Responses API requests even after login succeeds.
This PR is the first product-path migration onto the route-aware
transport introduced in #31323 and refined in #31331. It also
establishes the construction pattern for later migrations: the effective
feature state is resolved once into a required HTTP client factory
rather than represented by an optional per-call setting.
The scope remains limited to the two HTTP Responses endpoints;
WebSockets, model discovery, memories, realtime, and file uploads remain
follow-up migrations.
## What changed
- Replace the optional proxy marker with an explicit
`OutboundProxyPolicy::{ReqwestDefault, RespectSystemProxy}` and a
required `HttpClientFactory`. The policy has no default, and the
lower-level route-aware reqwest builder is now private.
- Have `Config` construct the factory from the effective feature state
and require every `ModelClient` constructor to receive it. There is no
optional setter or implicit `None` fallback.
- Build HTTP clients for `/responses` and `/responses/compact` with
`ClientRouteClass::Api`, using the complete destination URL so PAC rules
can make URL-specific decisions.
- Layer route-aware selection onto Codex's existing default headers,
Cloudflare cookie store, custom CA handling, and sandbox no-proxy
behavior.
- Add an integration test that loads `features.respect_system_proxy`
through `config.toml`, creates a real Codex session, and verifies that
both a normal Responses turn and remote compaction reach an isolated
local proxy.
## Review guide
1. `http-client/src/outbound_proxy.rs` defines the mandatory
policy/factory boundary and keeps route resolution private.
2. `core/src/config/mod.rs`, `core/src/session/session.rs`, and
`core/src/client.rs` show the compile-time invariant: effective config
creates the factory, and `ModelClient` cannot be constructed without
one.
3. `login/src/auth/default_client.rs` preserves existing default-client
behavior while accepting the required factory for migrated routes.
4. `core/src/client.rs` switches only streaming Responses and remote
compaction HTTP transports to the API route class.
5. `core/tests/suite/responses_api_system_proxy.rs` is the behavioral
regression boundary. Its Linux subprocess deliberately sets the CGI
marker that disables reqwest's implicit environment-proxy handling, so
the test fails if session wiring or either Responses call site falls
back to the default client.
## Test plan
- `cargo check --tests -p codex-http-client -p codex-login -p
codex-core`
- `just test -p codex-login`
- `just test -p codex-core
respect_system_proxy_feature_resolves_enabled`
- Existing `compact_uses_bearer_after_agent_identity_session_fallback`
coverage passes with the new transport construction.
- New Linux integration coverage:
`responses_and_compact_use_enabled_system_proxy`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

Pick up the AgentGraphStore migration.
- Inject an explicit optional agent graph store into `ThreadManager`
- Move all calls to spawn, close, recursive resume, and
subtree/archive/delete/feedback traversal through it
- Keep using `LocalAgentGraphStore` when SQLite is available
This required some changes to the interface to deal with futures:
- The interface now matches `ThreadStore`'s object-safe pattern by
returning a boxed `AgentGraphStoreFuture` directly, allowing
`ThreadManager` to hold `Arc<dyn AgentGraphStore>`
*Slight behavior change!* Unfiltered subtree enumeration now performs a
single all-status breadth-first traversal, so a closed grandchild
beneath an open edge is included; the previous Open-then-Closed
traversals could not cross mixed-status paths and silently omitted it.
## Why
Progress towards letting app-server and exec-server run on different
platforms, specifically for sandbox configuration.
## What
- Make the filesystem path containment hierarchy generic, defaulting to
`AbsolutePathBuf` for now.
- Have clients specify `AbsolutePathBuf` or `PathUri` directly where
needed.
- Use `PathUri` throughout exec-server filesystem protocol and trait
boundaries.
- Implement `From` for conversion to path URIs and `TryFrom` for
fallible conversion to absolute paths through the generic type
hierarchy.
## Why
We want to make it possible for an app-server orchestrator on one OS to
control an exec-server on another host running a different OS. In
practice this kinda already works if you get lucky and the two hosts
have the same path format, but we mangle quite a lot of operations if
either end is Windows.
This test starts exercising that interaction, although right now the
initial bootstrap fails. Future changes will expand the test's
assertions to match improved support.
## What
Stacked on #27964. This adds a small Windows exec-server fixture and a
Linux protocol smoke test using the reusable Wine harness, covering
Windows environment discovery, non-TTY `cmd.exe` execution, output, exit
status, and working directory.
Once we've got the full codex binary cross-building under Bazel we could
consider moving to the real binary instead of the stripped down
exec-server-only binary used here.
## Why
First-party async traits should expose their `Send` contracts explicitly
without requiring `async_trait`. This completes the migration pattern
established in #27303 and #27304.
## What changed
- Replaced the remaining first-party `async_trait` traits with native
return-position `impl Future + Send` where statically dispatched and
explicit boxed `Send` futures where object safety is required.
- Kept implementations behavior-preserving, outlining existing async
bodies into inherent methods where that keeps the diff reviewable.
- Removed all direct first-party `async-trait` dependencies and the
workspace dependency declaration.
- Added a cargo-deny policy that permits `async-trait` only through the
remaining transitive wrapper crates.
- Updated `rand` from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 to resolve RUSTSEC-2026-0097 and
keep the full cargo-deny check passing.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-exec-server`: 216 passed, 2 skipped.
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`: 39 passed.
- `just test -p codex-core` and `just test`: changed tests passed;
remaining failures are environment-sensitive suites unrelated to this
migration.
- `cargo deny check`
- `just fix`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
We want to remove implicit use of `$CODEX_HOME` from `codex-core` and
make embedders responsible for supplying user-level instructions. This
also ensures user instructions load when no primary environment is
selected.
## What changed
Stacked on #27415, which makes `codex exec` surface thread-scoped
runtime warnings.
- Added `UserInstructionsProvider` to `codex-extension-api`, with
absolute source attribution and recoverable loading warnings.
- Added `codex-home` with the filesystem-backed provider for
`AGENTS.override.md` and `AGENTS.md`, preserving precedence, fallback,
trimming, lossy UTF-8 handling, and the existing uncapped global
instruction size.
- Removed global instruction loading from `Config` and require
`ThreadManager` callers to inject a provider.
- Load provider instructions once for each fresh root runtime, including
runtimes without a primary environment. Running sessions retain their
snapshot, while child agents inherit the parent snapshot without
invoking the provider.
- Keep provider instructions separate while loading project `AGENTS.md`,
then assemble the model-visible instructions with the existing ordering,
source attribution, warning, and turn-context behavior.
- Wired the Codex home provider through the CLI, app server, MCP server,
core facade, and thread-manager sample.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-home -p codex-extension-api`
- `just test -p codex-core agents_md`
- `just test -p codex-core guardian`
- `just test -p codex-app-server
thread_start_without_selected_environment_includes_only_global_instruction_source`
- `just test -p codex-exec warning`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Why
We're moving exec-server to use PathUri for its internal path
representations.
## What
Move `ExecutorFileSystem` APIs to use `PathUri` instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf`. Future changes will convert higher-level parts of
exec-server.
## Summary
Responses Lite does not execute hosted Responses tools, so models using
it must route web search and image generation through Codex-owned
executors & standalone Response's API endpoints.
This PR is stacked on #26487.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core responses_lite_ --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
standalone_executors_remain_hidden_without_flags_or_responses_lite
--lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension -p
codex-image-generation-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all standalone_`
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
## Why
`codex-core` currently owns the generic contextual-fragment trait and
several reusable fragment implementations. That makes it harder for
other crates to share the same host-owned model-input abstraction
without depending on all of `codex-core`.
This change extracts the reusable fragment machinery into a small
`codex-context-fragments` crate so future extension and skills work can
depend on the fragment abstraction directly.
## What Changed
- Added the `codex-context-fragments` crate with:
- `ContextualUserFragment`
- `FragmentRegistration` / `FragmentRegistrationProxy`
- additional-context fragment types
- Moved `SkillInstructions` into `codex-core-skills`, since
skill-specific rendering belongs with skills rather than generic core
context machinery.
- Kept `codex-core` re-exporting the fragment types it still uses
internally, so existing call sites keep the same shape.
- Updated Cargo and Bazel workspace metadata for the new crate.
## Verification
- `cargo metadata --locked --format-version 1 --no-deps`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
