## What changed
Expose `thread/guardianReview` to review an idle thread's final injected `exec_command` without executing it. Return the call ID and Guardian assessment, or `null` for the assessment when exec policy skips approval.
Subscribe the requesting connection to the thread, enforce input and model-provider restrictions, and cancel an in-flight review when the connection disconnects so the thread is released promptly.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for assessment responses, policy-skipped reviews, model-provider enforcement, and WebSocket disconnect cancellation.

## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `guardian_recorded_items` feature to forward recorded reviewer items and interruptions through the parent's raw-event subscription, preserving reviewer thread and turn IDs without modifying the parent's history or completing its turn.
Emit reviewer items as `rawResponseItem/completed` notifications and interruptions as interrupted `turn/completed` notifications. Mark opted-in reviewer requests with `guardian_recorded_items` metadata.
## Testing
Extend Guardian integration tests to cover reviewer identity, recorded-item metadata replay, concurrent reviewer interruptions, independent parent completion, and behavior without the feature enabled.

## Why
Guardian denial-limit interruptions lack a structured error identifying the cause. Make this opt-in because older clients may not recognize the new error in shared history.
## What changed
- Add `auto_review.circuit_break_action = "strict"` to attach `TooManyDenials` to the interrupted turn. The default leaves the error unset.
- Expose `turn.error.codexErrorInfo = "tooManyDenials"` in app-server notifications and saved history, and update protocol schemas and generated types.
- Preserve the warning, denial limit, and interrupted status without emitting a separate error notification.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering omitted, `default`, and `strict` settings, checking warnings, live turn errors, the absence of separate error notifications, and persisted turn errors after restart.

## What changed
- Make `LocalThreadStore` default to paginated history while retaining explicit legacy mode.
- Explicitly use paginated history for Guardian review sessions and allow in-memory stores to create paginated threads.
- Rename full-history resume, fork, and subagent helpers to identify them as legacy APIs, and document the paginated alternatives.
- Reject `thread/revert` for ephemeral threads and prevent the TUI from replaying or attaching to ephemeral agent threads.
## Testing
Add coverage for preserving the default and explicitly selected history modes and conversation context across restart, and for retaining context after rejected ephemeral reverts. Extend Guardian checkpoint coverage across both history modes and verify that saved reviews use paginated history.

## Why
Guardian review threads use synthetic approval prompts as user messages. Deriving thread titles and previews from those prompts exposes large, unhelpful summaries in thread listings.
## What changed
- Default Guardian threads to the title "Guardian review" and preview "Approval review" across metadata creation, rollout reads, and resume.
- Skip synthetic user messages and goal updates when deriving Guardian display metadata, leaving `first_user_message` unset for new threads.
- Preserve custom names, including legacy indexed names, when listing, reading, resuming, and migrating threads to paginated history.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for compact metadata, resume without session metadata, custom names before and after migration, and app-server persistence, listing, and rename/resume behavior.

## Why
Running root threads retained their startup global instructions, so edits to global `AGENTS.md` files did not take effect during an active session.
## What changed
- Reload global instructions when capturing model-request context, including after tools within the same turn. Apply changes without repeating unchanged instructions or rediscovering repository instructions when the environment and trust level are unchanged.
- Preserve the last successful global instructions on read failures, suppress recurring warnings until recovery, and clear instructions when their source is removed or blank.
- Serialize refreshes and allow cancellation without blocking subsequent requests.
- Give new subagents the parent's applied instruction snapshot and update Guardian reviewer reuse to account for refreshed instructions.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for live edits and removal, read failures and recovery, warning suppression, cancellation, subagent inheritance, and Guardian reviewer reuse. Update resume, fork, and compaction tests to verify refreshed instructions.

## Why
Session isolation relied on Guardian source attribution. An explicit policy lets callers control inherited capabilities independently of how a session is attributed.
## What changed
- Add `SessionIsolation` with default `Inherit` and opt-in `Isolated` modes, captured at session startup through `ExtensionDataInit`.
- Use the policy to control inherited instructions, extensions, execution rules, and MCP resources. Isolated sessions retain managed execution rules and omit executor-discovered MCP servers.
- Explicitly isolate Guardian reviewers while preserving source-based fallback for older callers and saved reviewers.
## Testing
Extend delegate tests to cover isolation independently of attribution, update execution-policy coverage to supply the explicit policy, and assert that managed reviewers do not inherit the parent's configured MCP tools.

## What changed
Move the synchronous review loop, outcome mapping, deadline helpers, and session pool into `codex-guardian-reviewer`. Core supplies adapters for evidence capture, authorization checks, session creation, and event publication through the new host interfaces.
Have `guardian-v2` initialize the reviewer pool and host separately, with the pool managing prewarming, session reuse, concurrent forks, invalidation, and shutdown.
## Testing
Extend the app-server reviewer lifecycle test to cover interrupted concurrent reviews as well as completed reviews, including resuming a reviewer after parent shutdown. Adapt core reviewer tests to use the pool and factory interfaces.

## Why
Switching providers or authentication could reuse a previous identity's model catalog, including its default service tier. An in-flight refresh could also overwrite a newer account's catalog after cache storage completed.
## What changed
- Require a matching provider and auth identity for disk and in-memory catalog reuse. Treat legacy entries without an identity as cache misses and fall back to bundled metadata when the in-memory identity no longer matches.
- Recheck identity after fetching and storing a catalog before publishing it.
- Renew cache freshness only when the client version, identity, and ETag match the stored entry.
- Update cache fixtures to include the configured provider and auth identity.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for provider and auth switches, credential rotation, legacy and mismatched cache entries, conditional TTL renewal, and an account switch during cache storage. Verify that API-key requests do not inherit a ChatGPT catalog's default `service_tier`, while explicit tier selection still works.

## What changed
- Store the shared `GuardianReviewSessionManager` in thread extension data and let the Guardian extension spawn and fork reviewers through `ThreadManager`, independently of async scorer startup.
- Preserve reviewer reuse, concurrent forks, cancellation, inherited environments, and user instructions. Gate managed reviewer startup on parent registration and remove terminated reviewers from the manager.
- Retain the `guardian` subagent identity in saved conversations. Reject resume of live Guardian reviewers and reject client archive or delete of live owner-managed workers with JSON-RPC error `-32600`; allow normal access after the owner releases them.
- Keep standalone reviewer support for inline delegates and remove duplicated extension prompt and configuration code.
## Testing
Add app-server tests covering reviewer reuse and concurrent forks, inherited instructions and prompt cache keys, live resume and removal rejection, saved reviewer discovery and resume after parent shutdown, and strict Guardian assessment inside an inline review.
