Previously, the Rust TUI was writing log files to `/tmp`, which is
world-readable and not available on Windows, so that isn't great.
This PR tries to clean things up by adding a function that provides the
path to the "Codex config dir," e.g., `~/.codex` (though I suppose we
could support `$CODEX_HOME` to override this?) and then defines other
paths in terms of the result of `codex_dir()`.
For example, `log_dir()` returns the folder where log files should be
written which is defined in terms of `codex_dir()`. I updated the TUI to
use this function. On UNIX, we even go so far as to `chmod 600` the log
file by default, though as noted in a comment, it's a bit tedious to do
the equivalent on Windows, so we just let that go for now.
This also changes the default logging level to `info` for `codex_core`
and `codex_tui` when `RUST_LOG` is not specified. I'm not really sure if
we should use a more verbose default (it may be helpful when debugging
user issues), though if so, we should probably also set up log rotation?

Small fixes required:
* `ExitStatusExt` differs because UNIX expects exit code to be `i32`
whereas Windows does `u32`
* Marking a file "executable only by owner" is a bit more involved on
Windows. We just do something approximate for now (and add a TODO) to
get things compiling.
I created this PR on my personal Windows machine and `cargo test` and
`cargo clippy` succeed. Once this is in, I'll rebase
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/665 on top so Windows stays fixed!
In putting up https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/665, I discovered
that the `expanduser` crate does not compile on Windows. Looking into
it, we do not seem to need it because we were only using it with a value
that was passed in via a command-line flag, so the shell expands `~` for
us before we see it, anyway. (I changed the type in `Cli` from `String`
to `PathBuf`, to boot.)
If we do need this sort of functionality in the future,
https://docs.rs/shellexpand/latest/shellexpand/fn.tilde.html seems
promising.
I got the sense of this wrong in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/642. In that PR, I made
`--disable-response-storage` work, but broke the default case.
With this fix, both cases work and I think the code is a bit cleaner.
This adds support for the `--disable-response-storage` flag across our
multiple Rust CLIs to support customers who have opted into Zero-Data
Retention (ZDR). The analogous changes to the TypeScript CLI were:
* https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/481
* https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/543
For a client using ZDR, `previous_response_id` will never be available,
so the `input` field of an API request must include the full transcript
of the conversation thus far. As such, this PR changes the type of
`Prompt.input` from `Vec<ResponseInputItem>` to `Vec<ResponseItem>`.
Practically speaking, `ResponseItem` was effectively a "superset" of
`ResponseInputItem` already. The main difference for us is that
`ResponseItem` includes the `FunctionCall` variant that we have to
include as part of the conversation history in the ZDR case.
Another key change in this PR is modifying `try_run_turn()` so that it
returns the `Vec<ResponseItem>` for the turn in addition to the
`Vec<ResponseInputItem>` produced by `try_run_turn()`. This is because
the caller of `run_turn()` needs to record the `Vec<ResponseItem>` when
ZDR is enabled.
To that end, this PR introduces `ZdrTranscript` (and adds
`zdr_transcript: Option<ZdrTranscript>` to `struct State` in `codex.rs`)
to take responsibility for maintaining the conversation transcript in
the ZDR case.
It is intuitive to try to scroll the conversation history using the
mouse in the TUI, but prior to this change, we only supported scrolling
via keyboard events.
This PR enables mouse capture upon initialization (and disables it on
exit) such that we get `ScrollUp` and `ScrollDown` events in
`codex-rs/tui/src/app.rs`. I initially mapped each event to scrolling by
one line, but that felt sluggish. I decided to introduce
`ScrollEventHelper` so we could debounce scroll events and measure the
number of scroll events in a 100ms window to determine the "magnitude"
of the scroll event. I put in a basic heuristic to start, but perhaps
someone more motivated can play with it over time.
`ScrollEventHelper` takes care of handling the atomic fields and thread
management to ensure an `AppEvent::Scroll` event is pumped back through
the event loop at the appropriate time with the accumulated delta.
We currently see a behavior that looks like this:
```
2025-04-25T16:52:24.552789Z WARN codex_core::codex: stream disconnected - retrying turn (1/10 in 232ms)...
codex> event: BackgroundEvent { message: "stream error: stream disconnected before completion: Transport error: error decoding response body; retrying 1/10 in 232ms…" }
2025-04-25T16:52:54.789885Z WARN codex_core::codex: stream disconnected - retrying turn (2/10 in 418ms)...
codex> event: BackgroundEvent { message: "stream error: stream disconnected before completion: Transport error: error decoding response body; retrying 2/10 in 418ms…" }
```
This PR contains a few different fixes that attempt to resolve/improve
this:
1. **Remove overall client timeout.** I think
[this](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-c39945d3c42f29b506ff54b7fa2be0795b06d7ad97f1bf33956f60e3c6f19c19L173)
is perhaps the big fix -- it looks to me like this was actually timing
out even if events were still coming through, and that was causing a
disconnect right in the middle of a healthy stream.
2. **Cap response sizes.** We were frequently sending MUCH larger
responses than the upstream typescript `codex`, and that was definitely
not helping. [Fix
here](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-d792bef59aa3ee8cb0cbad8b176dbfefe451c227ac89919da7c3e536a9d6cdc0R21-R26)
for that one.
3. **Much higher idle timeout.** Our idle timeout value was much lower
than typescript.
4. **Sub-linear backoff.** We were much too aggressively backing off,
[this](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/658/files#diff-5d5959b95c6239e6188516da5c6b7eb78154cd9cfedfb9f753d30a7b6d6b8b06R30-R33)
makes it sub-exponential but maintains the jitter and such.
I was seeing that `stream error: stream disconnected` behavior
constantly, and anecdotally I can no longer reproduce. It feels much
snappier.
- Replace setTimeout(10ms) with queueMicrotask for immediate processing
- Add minimal 3ms setTimeout for rendering to maintain readable UX
- Reduces per-token delay while preserving streaming experience
- Add performance test to verify optimization works correctly

fix: pass correct selected model in ModelOverlay
The ModelOverlay component was incorrectly passing the current model
instead of the newly selected model to its onSelect callback. This
prevented model changes from being applied properly.
The fix ensures that when a user selects a new model, the parent
component receives the correct newly selected model value, allowing
model changes to work as intended.
