## What changed
- Read `mcp_servers` configuration and requirements from each selected remote
executor and add eligible HTTP servers to the thread's MCP runtime.
- Bind discovered servers to the thread's concrete executor snapshot and apply
environment MCP policy and requirements. Discovery is best effort, and
executor-local servers are not treated as required at startup.
- Ignore unsupported stdio servers and HTTP configurations that depend on
environment-provided headers or header helpers.
## Testing
- Added an app-server integration test covering discovery, authenticated HTTP
tool invocation, requirements enforcement, and exclusion of stdio servers.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6e1cdcebdbb1cc21a5a2285fbc5617d8d5997182
## Why
Resumed threads can carry a persisted capability-root location that no longer
matches the location reported by the attached executor.
## What changed
- Refresh matching thread-owned capability roots from the live environment while
preserving persisted roots when the executor reports none.
- Use the same merge behavior for capability-root inspection and per-step MCP
resolution, without changing owner-configured root precedence.
## Testing
Extend the remote-environment resume test to cover both an executor-provided
replacement root and the persisted-root fallback.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0c66195b2406f431a2e156e00d5225a8d22d18b2
## What changed
- Add `rejection_instructions` and `timeout_instructions` to catalog-provided auto-review messages.
- Use the acting model's instructions for denied and timed-out reviews across tool approvals, shell escalation, and MCP elicitation responses.
- Fall back to the existing instructions only when a catalog value is absent, while preserving explicit empty-string overrides.
## Testing
- Cover catalog overrides, legacy fallbacks, empty values, and separation between acting-model and reviewer-model messages.
GitOrigin-RevId: c5b2c2dbdaefd45d1d658651dd1abaeb6d8c93da
## What changed
Add named tracing spans for MCP dirty-state refreshes and time spent waiting
to acquire the refresh semaphore.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1dbb3572d2061581beb83b3de098d6ec91791104
## What changed
- Add environment-provided MCP restrictions for configured and plugin-provided servers.
- Disable attachment-scoped servers while their environment configuration is pending, failed, or unselected, while preserving selected-plugin access and the controller-owned Apps server.
- Apply the resolved policy to runtime startup, model tool exposure, telemetry, OAuth flows, and skill dependency installation.
## Testing
- Cover policy filtering for configured and plugin servers, environment state transitions, Apps ownership, and managed OAuth rejection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7ca5d4dda14068e758497f88835d5cba685e159e
## What changed
- Carry selected plugin identities from MCP discovery into per-turn extension data, limited to capability roots that are ready for the turn.
- Annotate executor skill catalog entries with the matching plugin ID and `user` scope.
- Include that attribution in `skill_invocation` analytics for both explicit and implicit executor skill invocations.
## Testing
- Extend the executor skills app-server test to verify plugin ID, skill scope, and invocation type for explicit and implicit analytics events.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9345600ae29bcb8eb894fffd2d6f7b05f22ebf74
## What changed
- Give `PluginsManager` a shared `AuthManager` instead of a separately mutable authentication-mode snapshot.
- Read the current authentication mode and credentials from that shared manager for plugin discovery, startup tasks, CLI commands, MCP setup, and external-agent migration.
- Update test helpers and coverage to exercise plugin projections and curated marketplace selection as authentication changes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 600c94de5130eda2da5727e1a0b4d39083fefc56
## Why
Environment attachments can either inherit configuration from their thread or
provide their own. Later thread setting updates must refresh inherited
configuration without overwriting attachment-owned permissions and capability
roots.
## What changed
- Resolve each attachment's configuration when it is selected and retain
whether it came from the thread or the attachment owner.
- Apply subsequent thread configuration updates only to thread-owned
attachments, while preserving ownership across snapshots and child threads.
- Keep the resolved configuration with the environment selection so runtime
consumers use a single canonical value.
## Testing
- Extend remote-environment coverage to verify that thread-owned permissions
follow thread updates while owner-provided read-only permissions remain in
effect.
- Cover configuration inheritance, attachment replacement, and owner-configured
capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: fe70c4be5f151432b69bf4b141e316faa89036ae
## What changed
- Add a resolved `permission_profile` to each `EnvironmentConfig` and use the
complete attachment config for execution and capability-root selection.
- Let `Ready` environment configurations override thread permissions while
`FromThread` selections continue to inherit them.
- Restrict inherited Guardian environment profiles to read-only permissions.
## Testing
- Add coverage proving that a read-only environment blocks writes even when
the thread permits workspace writes.
- Update environment inheritance, Guardian review, and capability-root tests
for the resolved attachment configuration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1a313b9e4892b1a579a0e880e322a782b4f6c0a7
## What changed
- Give approval review contributors the first opportunity to resolve an action when automatic review is not required for the model.
- Return an extension's decision directly and fall back to Guardian when no extension claims the review.
- Update Guardian V2 to approve actions below its risk threshold through the review contributor API, and remove the extension approval-policy API.
## Testing
- Verify that an extension approval bypasses both the Guardian model call and the user approval prompt.
- Cover Guardian V2 review decisions for low-risk, high-risk, and disabled threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5be56941143aff6f358b75b5f8101b7c047147ae
## What changed
- Add a thread-scoped extension API for requesting automatic review, resolving
multiple contributors to the strongest requirement.
- Have Guardian v2 request automatic review when it is enabled and the latest
`action_risk` score is at least `0.8`.
- Honor extension review requirements across tool approvals, MCP elicitation,
and remote execution while preserving host configuration and managed-policy
constraints.
## Testing
- Cover contributor registration and requirement resolution.
- Verify Guardian v2 requests review at the threshold, returns to the default
below it, and does not affect threads where the extension is disabled.
- Exercise extension-requested strict review with a remote model override.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6329fc23585d5cc7173c39bb9952c3109ec3884b
## What changed
- Store `TurnEnvironmentSelection` directly on each resolved `TurnEnvironment`
instead of copying its environment ID, working directory, and workspace roots
into separate fields.
- Update environment resolution, tool execution, approvals, and related tests to
access selection state through the retained value.
GitOrigin-RevId: ab723d21e112b8af5bcaf1f772a5e376553312bc
## Why
Transient executor disconnects could leave capability discovery and skill catalogs
stuck on a cached failure for the rest of a thread, even after the executor
reconnected.
## What changed
- Replay capability discovery after executor recovery and retry transient failures
on later requests while continuing to cache permanent failures.
- Avoid caching skill catalogs produced from failed discovery so a later step can
load the recovered catalog.
- Mark the MCP runtime dirty when recovered manifests change the projected MCP
servers, and allow discovery to be cancelled with the turn.
## Testing
- Cover same-request recovery after a disconnect and recovery on a later request.
- Cover retry classification through connection-attempt errors and skill catalog
caching after discovery recovers.
GitOrigin-RevId: a57f90844351e73ea831931f72a9ddc4e4f3335c
## What changed
- Add `http_headers_helper` configuration for local streamable HTTP MCP servers. The configured shell command runs once per connection and returns a JSON object of headers that is cached across requests.
- Apply helper headers to MCP startup and OAuth flows while restricting them to the server origin, stopping redirects, rejecting reserved or duplicate headers, and enforcing output and execution limits.
- Reject helpers for remote or managed-disabled servers, use the local environment working directory, and redact helper commands from `codex mcp list` and `codex mcp get` output.
## Testing
- Cover configuration validation, helper lifecycle and output parsing, origin isolation, OAuth discovery and token refresh, managed requirements, environment selection, and CLI redaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 84e0e26ce75520b0869d37c72b1678e033bd6818
## What changed
- Add `ApprovedMcpPolicyAmendment` to represent MCP approvals that persist across sessions.
- Route MCP approval responses directly through the shared `ReviewDecision` type while preserving session-only approvals, rejection reasons, timeouts, and cancellations.
- Reject the MCP-only policy decision if it reaches command, shell, network, or other tool approval paths.
## Testing
- Update MCP approval parsing, normalization, hook, and Guardian tests for the shared decisions.
- Verify generic tool approvals reject MCP policy amendments.
GitOrigin-RevId: b8cc931dc61d4c794915145273ede82b9eb30fc8
## Why
Threads that share an executor environment can require different capability roots and login-shell policies. Treating readiness configuration as executor-wide can expose one thread's settings to another.
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::environment_ready` and `EnvironmentConfig` so hosts can install capability roots and login-shell policy for an exact thread, environment, and working-directory attachment.
- Validate attachment readiness updates, merge ready attachment roots with persisted thread roots, and refresh MCP capabilities when those roots change.
- Preserve installed environment policy across thread settings updates and child-thread inheritance while resetting it when the selected working directory changes.
## Testing
- Cover attachment config inheritance and reset behavior.
- Verify that threads sharing an executor retain independent model-visible capability roots and login-shell tool schemas across updates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 60e7a296b3e41b835b0413aa2837451e8a55c230
## Why
Cross-platform remote `apply_patch` calls were rejected when filesystem writes
were restricted because patch verification and writes could not be safely
performed against executor files.
## What changed
- Route intercepted and direct remote patches through the executor-managed
filesystem sandbox, including the configured workspace roots.
- Select the restricted-token sandbox for Windows executor paths when no
Windows sandbox level was configured.
- Fail closed when an executor cannot enforce the requested sandbox, and treat
executor-managed access failures as sandbox denials so approval can retry the
patch without sandboxing.
## Testing
- Cover sandboxed remote patches, denied writes, approval retries, Windows
sandbox selection, and executor filesystem enforcement.
GitOrigin-RevId: caddeed0b266c456a689080a14a3a58e2bd7887c
## What changed
- Add the managed `auto_review.required_on_models` requirement, unioning model slugs across requirement layers and exposing the result through `configRequirements/read`.
- Force listed models to use `on-request` approvals with the `auto_review` reviewer. Downgrade Full Access to workspace-write when starting a protected session, and reject incompatible runtime overrides or use when automatic review is disabled.
- Preserve these protections across thread starts, resumes, forks, model changes, turn overrides, MCP approvals, and TUI session attachment.
## Testing
- Add coverage for layered model requirements and exact provider-alias matching.
- Add app-server tests for protected thread lifecycle operations, unsafe setting overrides, legacy thread upgrades, disabled automatic review, and requirements API output.
GitOrigin-RevId: c4b1d52c3b5b75e86880725412b8f0812e0dfcd9
## Why
An OAuth-backed Streamable HTTP MCP server can fail startup when its stored credentials are rejected. If a client then completes OAuth sign-in and replaces those credentials, the failed server needs to become available without restarting the Codex session.
## What changed
- Track the credential store and OAuth tokens used for each MCP connection, and detect replacements after authentication failures.
- Refresh affected MCP servers before the next turn and include their recovered tools in the model request.
- Classify HTTP authentication challenges and rejected refresh tokens as requiring reauthentication, with sign-in guidance appropriate to local and client-managed environments.
## Testing
- Cover recovery from expired credentials through an externally written replacement token.
- Cover authentication-error classification, startup messaging, and `Auto` store migration from file credentials to the keyring.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9b090089d4e7a44ffc182f4e25da20a18e97b70f
## What changed
- Add `session_source()` to `McpServerContributionContext` for thread-scoped MCP resolution.
- Propagate each thread's `SessionSource` through initial setup, per-step resolution, and runtime refreshes.
## Testing
- Verify global contexts omit the source while thread-scoped contexts retain it.
- Verify MCP contributors observe distinct sources for a root thread and its spawned subagent.
GitOrigin-RevId: 23da1509858e023fbd9e2d179034ddc83553f17b
## What changed
- Build filesystem and permission context from the primary turn environment's permission profile, working directory, and workspace roots, falling back to the thread context when no primary environment is available.
- Build capability-discovery sandbox contexts from each environment's permission profile and treat discovery as restricted when any selected environment has restricted filesystem access.
## Testing
- Add regression tests covering environment-specific capability discovery and permission context updates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6bbbd9b88aafa5e6583971ce4e427fc7557f2d93
## Why
Guardian reviews received sandbox retry reasons, but not the execution-policy reason that triggered an initial approval request.
## What changed
- Propagate approval and retry reasons through the tool approval flow and include the applicable reason in the Guardian prompt.
- Prefer a sandbox retry reason when both are available.
- Truncate approval context to 512 tokens while preserving the start and end of the reason.
## Testing
Added prompt and integration coverage for policy reasons, retry precedence, and truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5b0f4e1c40b792b031bc8f7b31685a61d12b8d92
## Why
App-server clients need to advertise structured MCP extension settings, including supported MCP App UI MIME types, rather than only opting into OpenAI form elicitation with a boolean.
## What changed
- Add an `extensions` map to initialize capabilities and preserve `mcpServerOpenaiFormElicitation` as a legacy alias for `openai/form`.
- Capture the declared extension profile when a thread is started, resumed, or forked, propagate it to subagents, and advertise it to downstream MCP servers during initialization.
- Keep the profile stable for the lifetime of the loaded session instead of changing it on later turns or direct tool calls.
## Testing
- Cover extension conversion, downstream MCP initialization, session isolation, legacy form support, and subagent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: fbcedbb74ce788e574b0f884a4c45c4cedb9de54
## What changed
- Recognize the `codex_strict_auto_review` MCP elicitation marker and route
marked approval requests through the configured automatic reviewer.
- Accept only canonical automatic-review approvals and fail closed without a
user prompt when review is unavailable, denied, malformed, disallowed by
policy, or requests persistence.
- Validate Codex Apps approval metadata against the active MCP invocation and
build the review request from the trusted invocation details.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for strict review decisions, malformed markers, reviewer
failures, explicit policy denials, and lifecycle cleanup.
- Add app-server round-trip coverage for approvals, denials, configuration
constraints, spoofed metadata, persistent requests, and subsequent turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: af73b45a9b63118f25f6429d95b3222c5dbb59fb
## Why
Executor capability discovery can traverse plugin and skill roots, including
symlinks. Under restricted filesystem permissions, discovery must not expose
files outside the permitted paths.
## What changed
- Pass each environment's filesystem sandbox context through capability root
discovery and apply it to metadata, directory walks, and file reads.
- Enable discovery for restricted sessions so permitted executor skills remain
available while inaccessible roots and symlink targets are omitted.
- Key discovery caches by sandbox context and reject sandboxed discovery on
executors that do not advertise support for it.
- Split requests with more than 128 roots into supported-size batches.
## Testing
- Cover permitted and denied external symlink targets.
- Verify restricted skill listing excludes inaccessible skills.
- Verify cache separation across permission contexts and discovery of 129 roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 44d16468ca003403bdb8b71a04ae8c9ff94ed494
## What changed
- Add `EnvironmentManager::publish_ready_info` to update the selected capability
roots for an existing environment without replacing it.
- Store readiness as an atomically replaceable snapshot so repeated publications
expose the latest roots while deferred completion still controls connection
readiness.
- Validate published roots and reject updates for missing environments.
## Testing
- Cover publication, replacement, repeated and invalid updates, and interaction
with deferred environment completion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1477f60e1319f840e6b33703ef2af052713779fd
## Why
A pending optional MCP server can delay the first model request even when the
turn does not need that server.
## What changed
- Give optional MCP servers a shared one-second startup grace, then omit servers
that are still pending from the captured tool catalog.
- Continue waiting when the turn explicitly requires a server through a plugin,
skill dependency, or `mcp://` mention, and preserve this behavior for input
received between sampling steps.
- Route direct resource requests to the live connection set when a pending
server was omitted from the binding, while keeping all-server resource
discovery non-blocking.
## Testing
- Cover the shared grace period and resource behavior for pending optional
servers.
- Verify plugin, plugin-skill, and direct MCP mentions wait for startup.
- Verify an Apps-enabled turn proceeds without tools from an unrelated pending
optional server.
GitOrigin-RevId: b5f895c5a5362fe73f7d33250367662d4a217e4d
## What changed
- Update the `rmcp` model and transport integrations for `3.0.0-beta.3`.
- Preserve legacy `elicitation/create` form requests, schema defaults, metadata, and wire-format compatibility while adopting the new elicitation types.
- Harden OAuth discovery by using GET-first discovery without starting an MCP session, preventing cross-origin header redirects, validating authorization-server and callback issuers, and retaining compatibility with metadata that omits an issuer.
- Keep stored OAuth credentials readable and avoid requiring reauthorization after transient refresh failures.
## Testing
- Add coverage for legacy elicitation round trips, OAuth discovery variants, callback issuer validation, credential migration, and refresh failures.
GitOrigin-RevId: 756197d26f3fd347c28c400228f6b3d06ed493b7
## Why
MCP elicitation reviewers are reused across runtime refreshes, while an active
turn can retain the approval settings it started with. Reviewing against that
turn could therefore apply stale authority after session settings changed.
## What changed
- Read the latest published MCP runtime configuration when reviewing an
elicitation, including the approval policy, permission profile, configuration
layers, and reviewer selection.
- Apply `never` and granular MCP-elicitation policy decisions before routing an
eligible request to Guardian.
- Keep MCP runtime startup registered for refresh invalidation through session
creation.
## Testing
Added coverage that refreshes a running session and verifies the same reviewer
uses the latest authority for Guardian routing, denial, and empty-form
auto-approval.
GitOrigin-RevId: 826a157aa70fc8e3a9e3a14ecb0261bf7b63f63a
## What changed
- Add `McpRefresh` to own the pending invalidation state and serialize MCP runtime refreshes.
- Keep cancellation recovery alongside the refresh state so a claimed refresh is marked pending again if publication does not complete.
- Update session initialization, shutdown, refresh paths, and tests to use the new abstraction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 915b28fa8b98a4f4c87ce8f2aa0d0ff99b57577d
## What changed
- Track the authentication state used by each published MCP runtime and mark the runtime dirty when the auth mode, account details, or token changes.
- Refresh plugin auth mode before evaluating pending MCP work, and rebuild the initial MCP projection if authentication changes during session startup.
- Carry one auth snapshot through runtime construction so plugin discovery and MCP connections use consistent credentials.
## Testing
- Add a regression test that replaces an API key, reloads authentication, and verifies that MCP refresh publishes a runtime using the new credentials.
GitOrigin-RevId: 219c2f7a157f53b5467116e18bfe70a8c3dca695
## Why
Changes to MCP inputs can require rebuilding the runtime before the next model
step. Start that work eagerly so the step is less likely to wait for it.
## What changed
- Add a per-session worker that prewarms dirty MCP state after configuration,
authentication, or explicit refresh changes.
- Coalesce queued refreshes and always rebuild from the latest session state,
while keeping exact model-step refreshes as the correctness path.
- Stop and join the worker during session shutdown.
## Testing
- Verify rapid refreshes skip superseded configuration and publish the latest
state.
- Verify MCP-relevant policy changes mark the runtime for refresh.
GitOrigin-RevId: 045ed406caff97dcbb483bc183fd16eae0c7d7ad
## Why
After a remote plugin install refreshes the Apps tool catalog, a later MCP
runtime publication must not restore the catalog from the previous connection.
## What changed
- Rebuild the MCP runtime with fresh connections when hard-refreshing Apps
tools, using the latest desired runtime configuration.
- Refresh the Apps catalog on the newly published connection so subsequent
runtime updates retain it.
## Testing
Extend the remote plugin install test to verify that both newly available and
missing Apps tools remain consistent after an unrelated runtime configuration
refresh.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5b675d53d56379ab67fab09512fc2ad0ffcb8535
## Why
Refreshing MCP runtime state should not restart an unchanged, ready server or
relist its tools.
## What changed
- Reconcile refreshed MCP configuration against the published connection set
and reuse connections whose transport, environment, authentication, OAuth
credentials, and client capabilities are unchanged.
- Keep tool filters, timeouts, metadata, and plugin provenance in the published
server view so those settings can change without reconnecting.
- Update elicitation authority in place for reused connections, and reconnect
when connection-defining inputs or live OAuth credentials change.
## Testing
Added coverage for unchanged-server reuse, view-only and elicitation-policy
updates, connection identity changes, OAuth credential changes, and avoiding
redundant tool listing.
GitOrigin-RevId: f04f5db5fbdde127b6a14f6aa9673112c0b557e7
## What changed
- Make `McpRuntime` own the published MCP configuration, connections, elicitation routing, and selected capability roots for a thread.
- Capture immutable MCP bindings for model steps and tool calls so in-flight work keeps a consistent connection set and approval authority while refreshed state is published atomically.
- Mark MCP state dirty when relevant configuration, plugins, environments, authentication, or elicitation capabilities change, then rebuild it before the next sampling request or out-of-band MCP operation.
- Separate config reloads from server invalidation: `ReloadMcpConfig` applies resolved MCP inputs, while `RefreshMcpServers` requests reinitialization from the thread's latest state.
## Testing
- Cover refreshed state visibility for existing turns, stable step bindings, current approval authority, cancelled refresh retries, resource-client reconciliation, and Apps recovery between sampling requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 59eabb1aa8dc083426bd18ef4d3630508f376401
## What changed
- Use `McpConnectionSet` as the primary name for the collection of active MCP
server connections throughout `codex-mcp` and its callers.
- Keep `McpConnectionManager` as a backward-compatible type alias.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9753838b4fd0a0b6429a9c4af0c077137616f388
## What changed
- Make the MCP connection manager's event sender optional.
- Skip startup notifications when a caller has no session event stream.
- Decline interactive MCP elicitations in that mode while allowing the
underlying operation to continue.
- Update threadless resource reads, status snapshots, and connector discovery
to use the channel-free path.
## Testing
- Extend the app-server MCP resource test to verify that a threadless resource
read declines an elicitation and still returns the resource contents.
GitOrigin-RevId: 65fea152adbc02a78e09a40cae4134b6dccffd34
## What changed
- Change `ReviewDecision::Denied` to carry a rejection string and update the generated protocol schemas.
- Preserve specific rejection reasons through command, patch, network, MCP, delegated, and automatic approval flows so tool results can return them to the model.
- Distinguish invalid approval responses from user declines and truncate oversized rejection messages before adding them to model context.
## Testing
- Add coverage for denial serialization, invalid app-server approval responses, dropped automatic reviews, network rejection propagation, and rejection-message truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: d48a55643aa03c7ecfa08a8e4b669913eec5464a
## What changed
- Add a thread-owned `McpRuntime` that atomically publishes connection-set
replacements and owns shutdown.
- Route `McpResourceClient` snapshots and cache keys through that runtime so
extension clients observe refreshed MCP servers.
- Keep model-step configuration snapshots separate from ownership of live MCP
connections.
## Testing
- Add coverage that captures an extension's session resource client, refreshes
the MCP server configuration, and verifies that the existing client sees the
newly published server.
GitOrigin-RevId: 351b2e25594b8eb6b91e50ff8d06b7d49768ae1c
## Why
Selected capability roots can contribute plugins, MCP servers, connectors, and
skills. Discovering each contribution separately requires repeated access to the
executor filesystem.
## What changed
- Add the `capabilityRoots/discoverV1` exec-server RPC to scan selected roots and
materialize recognized plugin manifests, configuration files, skill
instructions, and skill metadata in one bounded request.
- Add the opt-in `executor_capability_discovery` feature, with a thread-scoped
cache and per-step snapshot shared by MCP and skill discovery.
- Parse MCP, connector, and skill contributions from the materialized snapshot,
including serving cached skill instructions without another filesystem read.
## Testing
- Cover discovery limits, manifest precedence, root-local failures, cache reuse,
plugin contributions, and parity with the existing environment skill loader.
GitOrigin-RevId: f98fd2321cafb58c596db02da1f83c09d8eb375d
## Why
Changes to the selected working directory can select different `AGENTS.md`
instructions. These updates need to reach the model even when the deferred
executor feature is disabled.
## What changed
- Refresh environment readiness and `AGENTS.md` before capturing each step.
- Record model-visible world-state changes for every session instead of gating
them on the deferred executor feature.
- Preserve the initial environment context without duplicating it.
## Testing
- Cover `AGENTS.md` replacement after a working-directory change.
- Verify that initial environment context remains unique with the deferred
executor both enabled and disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: ea5dbe590cc049170259e7eccb6a3346fb2ed8e6
## Why
Selected capability roots are deduplicated by ID. When ready environments
report the same ID with different locations, silently dropping later roots
hides the conflict.
## What changed
Track each selected root's location while combining thread and ready-environment
roots. Keep the first root for a duplicate ID and emit a warning when a later
root uses a different location.
## Testing
Add a regression test with two ready environments that verifies the first
location is retained and the conflict warning is logged.
GitOrigin-RevId: e51692ae9cd2c3a7f3c1ac50bb8446846f314929
## What changed
- Let deferred environments provide selected capability roots with their ready signal.
- Validate that those roots have unique, non-empty IDs, belong to the registering environment, and stay within the root limit.
- Include roots from ready turn environments when resolving MCP contributions, and refresh the MCP runtime when the selected root set changes.
- Expose the exact ready root set to MCP contributors so executor plugins become available with their environment.
## Testing
- Cover ready-root propagation, validation failures, replacement isolation, reconnection, and MCP plugin availability refresh.
GitOrigin-RevId: ec3498aab1164824025094e96a9b1063b7b731ad
## What changed
Add named tracing spans around step environment snapshots, capability and
executor plugin resolution, `AGENTS.md` refreshes, and MCP runtime projection
and refresh operations. Skip recording function arguments to keep these spans
focused on timing and execution flow.
GitOrigin-RevId: 73a452ef1b5da6f7f2b00d24421a815c5d514eaf
## Why
Starting a new session should not have to wait for an unchanged stdio MCP
server to initialize before its tools can be presented to the model.
## What changed
- Cache recent tool catalogs for matching stdio MCP server configurations and
use them while a new live connection starts in the background.
- Bound the process-wide cache to 32 entries with a 30-minute TTL, and key
entries by the server configuration, environment, working directory, and
elicitation capabilities that affect the catalog.
- Keep connection-specific instructions and tool annotations out of cached
catalogs. Resolve tool calls against the live connection so tools that are
unavailable or hidden in the new session cannot be invoked from stale data.
- Publish only the newest completed catalog fetch and do not cache HTTP servers
or stdio configurations that depend on remotely sourced environment values.
## Testing
- Add coverage for cache expiration, environment changes, catalog sanitization,
and out-of-order refreshes.
- Add an end-to-end test that starts inference from cached definitions while a
replacement MCP process initializes, then verifies calls and visibility
against the live process.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ed0f29ba53ace12532730f951b175c588aa3ae7
## Why
OAuth metadata discovery for an optional HTTP MCP server can stall, delaying
`thread/start` even though that server is not required.
## What changed
- Remove eager MCP authentication-status discovery from session and connection
manager startup.
- When an MCP connection reports an authentication error, inspect configured and
stored credentials locally to preserve login and reauthentication failure
reasons without making another discovery request.
- Continue using server configuration directly for startup error messages and
timeout hints.
## Testing
Add an app-server regression test with an optional HTTP MCP endpoint that accepts
a connection but never responds, and verify that `thread/start` completes without
waiting for its configured startup timeout.

## What changed
- Move the Codex Apps tool cache into a reusable `codex-connectors` runtime manager keyed by account and workspace.
- Represent cached tools as atomically published snapshots with refresh timestamps while preserving the newest accepted fetch generation.
- Harden disk persistence with bounded reads, atomic file replacement, and serialized writes so an older fetch cannot overwrite newer state.
## Testing
Add coverage for identity isolation, snapshot timestamps, oversized cache files, atomic replacement, and concurrent persistence ordering.

## Summary
- Forward Codexs canonical `originator` header on ChatGPT-hosted Apps
and plugin-runtime MCP requests.
- Preserve the configured `X-OpenAI-Product-Sku` header.
- Cover originator-only and originator-plus-SKU configurations.
## Why
Sites project creation is logged downstream of Apps MCP. Production
validation found `CODEX_UNKNOWN_DEFAULT` project-created threads that
matched `codex_surface=desktop_app` and `originator=Codex Desktop` in
`fact_codex_cli`
([query](https://kepler.gateway.data-1.internal.api.openai.org/permalink/H_mVoVPqLQ0)).
The hosted Apps MCP configuration forwarded the product SKU but not
Codexs canonical originator, so codex-backend could not derive
`CODEX_DESKTOP_APP` for those tool calls.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `CARGO_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-cargo-home
CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/codex-target just test -p codex-mcp` (106
passed)
- `CARGO_HOME=/private/tmp/codex-cargo-home
CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/codex-target just fix -p codex-mcp`

## Why
Long-lived Codex sessions can outlive the ChatGPT bearer token that was
present when the MCP runtime started.
The Responses path already recovers from token expiration by refreshing
or reloading the shared `AuthManager`. The reserved `codex_apps`
hosted-plugin client did not observe that update: `McpConnectionManager`
built its `/ps/mcp` HTTP auth once from a `CodexAuth` snapshot, and
`auth_provider_from_auth` copied that snapshot bearer into a static
`BearerAuthProvider`.
After the copied bearer expired, `/ps/mcp` kept sending it even though
Responses had a newer token in the same `AuthManager`. The failure
occurred before downstream connector execution, so unrelated apps such
as Gmail, Slack, and Google Calendar could all fail with the same
transport-level `401 token_expired`.
This replaces
[openai/codex#29474](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29474), which
was closed for inactivity without being merged. A new long-lived-session
report reproduced the same simultaneous `/ps/mcp` expiry pattern across
unrelated apps.
## What changed
- Add an `AuthManager`-backed request-header provider in
`codex-model-provider`. It keeps an `Arc<AuthManager>` and reads
`auth_cached()` for each outbound request, so the next `/ps/mcp` call
sees a token refreshed by the existing Responses/auth-recovery flow.
- Scope that provider to the startup account, ChatGPT user, and
workspace identity. Same-identity token reloads are followed; an account
switch emits no ambient auth until account-scoped MCP state is rebuilt.
- Have `McpConnectionManager` construct the dynamic provider only for
the reserved `codex_apps` registration used by the hosted-plugin
`/ps/mcp` path.
| MCP path | Auth behavior after this change |
| --- | --- |
| Reserved `codex_apps` hosted-plugin `/ps/mcp` | Read current
same-identity auth from the shared `AuthManager` per request |
| `codex_apps` with `CODEX_CONNECTORS_TOKEN` | Keep the environment
bearer-token override |
| User-configured/direct MCP registrations | Keep their existing
configured auth path |
## Non-goals
- No plugin-service changes.
- No downstream Slack, Gmail, Calendar, or other connector
OAuth/link-refresh changes.
- No auth UI changes.
- No behavior change for user-configured/direct MCP registrations.
- No new `/ps/mcp`-initiated token refresh; this makes `/ps/mcp` observe
refreshes already performed through the shared `AuthManager`.
## Tests
- `just test -p codex-model-provider`
- Covers same-identity token reloads and refuses a changed startup
identity.
- `just test -p codex-mcp`
- `just test -p codex-core mcp_auth_refresh`
- Creates the reserved hosted-plugin `codex_apps` `/ps/mcp` client
before the shared `AuthManager` changes, updates that same manager
through its public external-auth path, performs a real `tools/call`, and
asserts the request uses the current bearer.
## Why
Code-mode tool results could return to the model while an MCP
elicitation was still waiting for user input. This differed from
parallel tool calling and could let the model continue before the user
resolved the request.
We need one session-level view of outstanding elicitations so tool
runtimes can consistently hold results until every pending elicitation
is resolved.
## What changed
- Added a counted, session-owned ElicitationService with RAII
registrations.
- Registered both core-originated and server-originated MCP elicitations
with the service.
- Migrated out-of-band elicitation tracking and unified exec timeout
pausing to the shared service.
- Made code-mode functions.exec and functions.wait capture their runtime
result normally, then hold it before returning while an elicitation is
outstanding.
- Kept terminate: true immediate; only its result is held.
- Preserved model-visible wall time across the elicitation hold.
- Kept the behavior session-scoped, with concurrent elicitations holding
the pause until all registrations are released.
