## 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.

## Why
Package managers search parent directories for project configuration and hooks, which can influence Codex updates launched from a project directory.
## What changed
Run non-Windows update commands with `/` as their working directory.
## Testing
Add a regression test using a fake `pnpm` executable to verify that updates run outside the project even when `TMPDIR` points into it.
GitOrigin-RevId: a39b36872a62f2404aadd0614e1486d0755636fc
## What changed
- Show draft attachment thumbnails in reference order in inline and fullscreen views on supported terminals with local workspaces. Display a `+N` count for attachments that do not fit, and preserve editable image references when previews are unavailable or space is limited.
- Refresh previews when attached files change, apply image orientation metadata, and clear frame graphics before terminal handoffs, screen switches, and shutdown.
- Finish CLI subcommand dispatch before polling interactive TUI events.
## Testing
Add a regression test and snapshot covering thumbnail order, overflow, resizing, attachment deletion, file replacement, and fallback behavior in both inline and fullscreen views.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1ea7c89e089cecc390e145c1790b6ede8bad8d5e
## Why
The agent command center previously required a shared background server, preventing embedded sessions from opening it and rejecting `codex agents --no-daemon`.
## What changed
- Allow `codex agents --no-daemon` to use an embedded app server and open the command center without a shared server.
- Route `codex agents` through the normal daemon startup, eligibility, and compatibility checks, including embedded fallback where applicable.
- Return embedded sessions to the command center when canceling directory trust or archived-session confirmation.
## Testing
Add CLI coverage for `--no-daemon` before and after `agents`, plus an integration test that verifies embedded mode is used even when a daemon is running. Update archived-session tests to expect cancellation to return to the command center.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3bdf18a00456eae2e4d38103d12126e039d44119
## What changed
Extract executor startup into `codex-exec-server-cli`, shared by `codex exec-server` and the new standalone binary. Preserve executor arguments, authentication, configuration overrides, and sandbox helper dispatch across both entry points.
Build the standalone binary with `cargo build -p codex-exec-server-cli --bin codex-exec-server` and run it with `codex-exec-server --listen stdio`.
## Testing
Add standalone CLI parsing and help coverage, plus an integration test for version reporting, stdio initialization, filesystem reads, process execution, and sandbox helper re-execution when supported.
GitOrigin-RevId: ab3a81c6b91b6f45e4d72d8add2e01af8372e97f
## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `omit_skill_descriptions` feature flag to omit descriptions from model-visible host, executor, and cloud skill catalogs while retaining names and locators. Adapt catalog introductions, usage instructions, and alias budget accounting to the selected policy.
Persist the description policy in catalog snapshots and refresh usage instructions when it changes. Ignore description-only edits in catalog deltas while descriptions are omitted.
## Testing
Add coverage for alias token budgets, policy changes with older snapshots, and suppressed description-only updates. Extend scenario snapshots to cover plugin visibility and catalog deduplication with descriptions omitted.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5bf1dcee8c04059c7a78998affc1efcdef8ec883
## What changed
- Validate inherited options before and after the `queue` subcommand, with explicit errors for unsupported flags and positional prompts.
- Reject `--model` and `-c model=...` because queued messages use the thread's model.
- Allow `--cd` for local server startup, but reject it with `--remote`.
- Hide unsupported inherited options from queue help and clarify the scope of startup configuration overrides.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for unsupported options in both argument scopes, model configuration overrides, remote `--cd` conflicts, and queue help output. Preserve coverage for overrides that bypass a running local daemon.
GitOrigin-RevId: 703ba26f38930a01559847e66e1af3d0d338d1e9
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `skill_catalog_deltas` feature flag to append new and updated skills without repeating unchanged catalog entries.
- Share a cumulative metadata budget across executor, cloud, and host catalogs, preserving usage across turns and resume. Removals emit no update and do not refund budget.
- Rebuild the current catalog and reset its budget after compaction, including any required skill root mappings in updates.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for update costs, shared source budgets, feature rollback, and catalog updates across resume and compaction, with a request-history snapshot.
GitOrigin-RevId: e88b4265d7361498113d43fdc2e0260a9f930bbc
## What changed
- Use the managed configuration loader in CLI, exec, TUI, and app-server configuration flows so `requirements.toml` can select a config server.
- Sign in to the config server when needed during interactive TUI startup and CLI login, reload configuration after CLI sign-in, and clear config-server credentials on CLI logout.
- Preserve the app-server's config-server settings and refresh worker across OpenAI login and logout.
- Require config-server settings to be applied when loading CLI and doctor configuration.
## Testing
Add app-server integration tests using a local HTTPS config server to verify managed provider and instruction settings at startup, preservation across API-key login and logout, and cache reuse after restart and thread resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 27ee81f7943d2290a5c3fcc0ac556579ec63f8b4
## What changed
- Rename ChatGPT-specific bundle loaders to `chatgpt_config_bundle_loader*` and use managed-config terminology for shared loader plumbing.
- Pass `Config` directly when updating the app-server's managed configuration loader.
- Share configuration loading, logging setup, and result handling between browser and device-code login.
- Expose the CLI cloud-config helpers and `provider_uses_first_party_auth_path` through their library APIs.
## Testing
Extend CLI login coverage to verify that `forced_login_method="api"` rejects both `login` and `login --device-auth` while preserving saved API-key credentials.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9e8fa6110dc80882ba365e550b48ac77da604940
## Why
When `-c` or `--config` appears at multiple command levels, Clap retains only the deepest scope's values, dropping earlier overrides.
## What changed
Collect config overrides from each command scope in order while preserving typed child arguments and their existing precedence. Arguments forwarded after `--` remain unchanged.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for overrides split across nested `mcp add` commands, forwarded `-c` arguments, and validation of an invalid override before `app-server` when another override follows it.
GitOrigin-RevId: 40c64eda866497e2f59491a523c6777a8bfe5d5f
## What changed
Add `codex migrate-nfs-db` to replace configured SQLite WAL databases in place with validated copies in `DELETE` journal mode, retaining the originals and their sidecar files in backup directories. Stage conversion locally, check database integrity before installation, and support resuming an interrupted replacement.
Require confirmation and exclusive access, with all Codex instances stopped on every host until migration succeeds. The NFS mount must support cross-client POSIX locks. Reject unsupported file permissions and ACLs, and serialize migrations with a migration lock.
Support configuration overrides, `--profile`, and `--staging-dir`. Skip the logs database when `log_dir` is explicitly configured and leave databases already in `DELETE` mode unchanged. Reject remote mode.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7b48cc3a713113a3c09a2243e49b54258bef609d
## Why
Managed stderr logs previously retained a tail only before a new launch, allowing logs to grow during a long-running process. Direct stderr writes could also block lifecycle operations on disk I/O.
## What changed
- Route managed app-server and updater logs through a shared nonblocking worker with a bounded queue. Drop records when the queue is full or a record exceeds 16 KiB, and avoid waiting for the worker at shutdown.
- Prune live logs when they exceed 1 MiB, preserving the latest 256 KiB in `.log.previous` before truncating the current file. Keep inherited stderr handles usable after truncation.
- Pause predecessor pruning during Windows updater handoff and resume it after a failed handoff only when ownership has been restored.
- Keep ordinary stderr output when managed logging has not been initialized.
## Testing
Add regression tests for stalled workers and queue overflow, tail retention, inherited append and nonappend handles, and pruning exclusion during updater handoff.
GitOrigin-RevId: b6301962b1180fa6cdb231a56edce2429dc20b54
## What changed
- Add `--cloud-skills-snapshot PATH` to load a cloud skill catalog and resource contents from JSON once at app-server startup, without contacting a live skill service.
- Expose snapshot skills through the native `skills.list` and `skills.read` interface, preserving aliases and prompt visibility. Reads remain available after the snapshot file is removed.
- Validate package boundaries, required resources, duplicate packages, and size limits; fail startup for missing or invalid snapshots.
- Keep frozen cloud catalog and read caches independent of live MCP resource changes.
## Testing
Add provider, cache, app-server, and core scenario tests covering validation, exact resource contents, authority boundaries, startup failures, and listing and reading frozen skills alongside a named executor.
GitOrigin-RevId: d438a5d678121db3e17515fc5edcd00d4e20b900
## What changed
Add `codex app-server --print-startup-config` to validate local and cloud-backed configuration and emit the app-server version and configuration requirements as JSON without initializing environments, thread storage, or plugins. Configuration failures produce structured JSON errors and a nonzero exit status.
Support `--startup-sign-out` to remove account credentials and reload signed-out requirements, including recovery when cloud policy is unavailable. Reject sign-out for host-owned external authentication. Accept `--startup-client-info` to identify configuration and authentication requests.
Reuse configuration loading and account cleanup logic between startup discovery and the running app server.
## Testing
Add CLI integration coverage for configuration validation, project login restrictions, managed cloud requirements and failures, sign-out recovery, external authentication protection, and independence from locked or invalid history databases.
GitOrigin-RevId: 636ccb095b684b6136cf9e408f3f8613cb776e16
## What changed
Add the `multi_env_copy_file` feature flag, disabled by default and marked as under development, to the feature registry and configuration schema. Install the file-copy extension in app-server threads and CLI debug prompt construction when the flag is enabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6d8b4c7479974f4b70c39f52333491c13d60d2a2
## What changed
- Add `--executor-credential-stdin` to read newline-delimited JSON credentials bound to the configured environment. Require an initial credential within 30 seconds and accept subsequent rotations.
- Reject expired credentials on each request, and stop the executor on invalid input or stdin closure. Limit credential frames to 16 KiB.
- Use scoped bearer authentication for registry requests without account credential fallback or WebSocket authentication headers. Skip workload identity loading and configured telemetry exporters in this mode.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for rotation, expiry, malformed frames, environment mismatches, stdin closure, registry-only authentication, credential redaction, and telemetry exporter isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 30a94478165395144a765450f5ec6b3697acdd55
## Why
`codex app-server daemon restart` previously reused saved settings without applying feature flags supplied on the command line.
## What changed
Apply `--enable`, `--disable`, and boolean `-c features.*` overrides during an explicit restart and persist them for subsequent restarts. Accept nested `enabled` values, normalize feature aliases, and replace conflicting saved aliases while preserving unrelated settings.
Reject invalid feature toggles before stopping the daemon or saving settings.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for overrides on stopped and running daemons, alias replacement, preservation of saved settings, restarts without flags, and rejection of non-toggle keys without interrupting the running daemon.
GitOrigin-RevId: 14a657bc4758b9c248e363f9dac58f8887070a04
## Why
Startup configuration warnings can reflect settings from when the background server started, even after those settings have been fixed. A restart lets users refresh the server without leaving the TUI.
## What changed
- Add a confirmed restart action to `/daemon`, warning that active or queued work in other chats may be interrupted. Reconnect automatically and let an in-progress restart finish if the TUI exits.
- Verify that Codex manages a local server before enabling restart, including servers discovered with auto-start disabled and those started by `codex agents`.
- Show a restart hint on the first startup configuration warning for managed servers, preserving the original diagnostic for copying and dismissal.
- Repaint the full surface of centered dialogs to restore background colors over cached blank cells.
## Testing
Add CLI integration coverage for agents startup and restarting a discovered daemon with auto-start disabled. Extend TUI tests for confirmation, cancellation, unmanaged servers, warning hints and dismissal, and dialog background rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8e4319fab84f13bf6e7335deb93364fccaff14a7
## Why
Daemon updates must honor application network restrictions and stop when their configuration cannot be loaded.
## What changed
Activate the configured application network policy before creating the HTTP client for daemon updates and the PID update loop. Propagate configuration errors instead of falling back to a default HTTP client.
## Testing
Add tests for configuration error propagation and managed network requirements, covering denied and unlisted destinations as well as an allowed destination. Retain coverage for `features.respect_system_proxy`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 960485c7c57f34654402d7316cab9e0f66f24af3
## 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
Make plain `codex remote-control` start or reuse the managed daemon and enable remote control when daemon auto-start is enabled and the environment is eligible. Fall back to the foreground server when no managed backend is available or Windows restricts detached launch.
Add `codex remote-control --no-daemon` to explicitly run the foreground server, and honor the top-level `--no-daemon` flag. Reject this flag with `start`, `stop`, or `pair`. Keep `--json` and launches with configuration overrides or unsupported environments on the foreground path.
GitOrigin-RevId: cb28ae3f6074993b748660972c3cb7cbf6612c2f
## What changed
Add `codex sandbox uninstall` to remove machine-wide legacy Windows sandbox accounts and network rules with administrator privileges. Run cleanup without loading configuration, preserving Codex home, sandbox directories, and filesystem permissions. Reject the command on other platforms.
Keep commands after `--` forwarded to the sandbox, including `codex sandbox -- uninstall --help`.
## Testing
Add parsing coverage for the uninstall subcommand and command separator. Add an integration test verifying that help and invalid arguments work with malformed configuration and leave configuration and credentials unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: d2b02ef7bc0a05742dd5eb3c47292ad517d46664
## Why
`codex exec` and the TypeScript SDK need a way to request a Cyber access program for an individual turn. Resuming with an API key can also leave compaction using a saved program that the current credentials cannot access.
## What changed
- Add `--cyber-access-program` with `standard`, `daybreak_blue`, and `daybreak_red`, and expose the equivalent `cyberAccessProgram` turn option and `CyberAccessProgram` type in the TypeScript SDK.
- Apply explicit selections to new, resumed, and prompted fork turns. Override automatic Daybreak selection for that turn without changing the saved choice. Reject the flag for review and forks without a prompt.
- Filter Cyber programs by the built-in OpenAI provider when starting turns and restoring previous-turn settings for compaction.
- Allow previous-model compaction fallback with API-key authentication, comparing both model and program so a program change can trigger a retry with the current pair even when the model is unchanged.
## Testing
Add CLI help, argument parsing, exec, and SDK coverage for per-turn selection and unsupported commands. Extend core tests for API-key compaction retries, denied explicit selections, custom-provider filtering, remote compaction, and WebSocket response reuse.
GitOrigin-RevId: 586f25b621924f3bc509c9a39b39fe2020ff9cd2
## What changed
Print `To reconnect, run:` followed by the indented resume command on its own line in disconnect exit summaries. Update CLI expectations and TUI snapshots for the new layout, and adjust the remote reconnect test to parse the command from its new line.
GitOrigin-RevId: 46f05084482063cf4f196b3b49471f331bc91384
## What changed
Move WebSocket authentication arguments, settings, credential loading, and upgrade authorization into a shared crate using `http` types. Update the app server, transport, and CLI to consume it directly, and remove the `AppServer` prefix from the shared types.
Hide token digests and JWT verification secrets from authentication policy `Debug` output.
## Testing
Move the existing argument validation, capability-token authorization, and signed bearer-token verification tests into the new crate.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1dd20043a3f8efbca55af7eda338b62a62e8fd68
## What changed
Move `codex exec-server` argument definitions, transport validation, configuration loading, authentication, and shutdown orchestration from `codex-rs/cli/src/main.rs` into `codex-rs/cli/src/exec_server_command.rs`.
Expose startup through `ExecServerCommand::run`, merge the root `--strict-config` flag into the command before dispatch, and update existing argument tests to use the new entry point.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4bcc59db2bd6e1d153a366142bd0b93ad03c6951
## What changed
- Replace the built-in orchestrator skill provider with a host-supplied cloud provider, using `cloud` authority and `c` root aliases in skill tools and prompts.
- Add `cloud.skills.enabled`, defaulting to true but requiring a supplied provider. Keep `orchestrator.skills` accepted as a legacy no-op setting, and remove the app server's automatic orchestrator provider registration.
- Discover cloud skills once per turn during cancellable startup. Serve catalog snapshots to prompts and tools without triggering discovery or retries.
- Scope cached catalogs and resources to authentication state. Preserve them on refresh failures within the same scope, invalidate them when that scope changes, and reject late discovery or read results from replaced cache generations.
- Reuse executor discovery catalogs only when successful discovery inputs and bundled-skill settings match.
## Testing
Add coverage for per-turn refresh, skill removal, same-account failures and reconnects, authentication changes, and stale in-flight results. Update configuration and tool tests for cloud authority, provider gating, and resource reads without an executor.
GitOrigin-RevId: c57e38ec7dcc880c0d4c8a2995adfd3e28301079
## What changed
- Render transcript history and live output above the composer when `features.transcript_v2` is enabled and alternate-screen rendering is available. Handle scrolling, selection, copying, links, and older-history pagination in the main view.
- Add a clickable return-to-latest control with new-activity hints and temporary clipboard status. Let plain Enter return to latest when the composer is empty.
- Reflow retained transcript content during drawing and preserve the launch-selected screen mode across configuration reloads and session transitions, including `--no-alt-screen` restrictions.
- Enter the alternate screen with its first synchronized frame, and box CLI startup futures to reduce stack usage during session transitions.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for transcript layout, input routing, follow controls, clipboard status, and screen-mode persistence. Add a PTY test for the first alternate-screen frame and clean exit, and extend session-transition coverage through the CLI dispatcher.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1daf077826c7744b0f57399d10d159923dc87a97
## Why
TUI startup metrics report the selected app-server mode before a connection succeeds, which can misrepresent embedded fallback or failed startup. Daemon startup and update actions also need distinct outcome observations.
## What changed
- Record `codex.tui.start` once after the first connection attempt, using the actual mode or `unconfirmed`, and include daemon selection and auto-start tags.
- Add `codex.daemon.start` for TUI auto-start and `codex.daemon.update` for foreground CLI updates and TUI update handoffs, using existing analytics consent and identity handling.
- Report TUI handoffs as `handoff_requested` and suppress duplicate child reporting. Remove the suppression flag when spawning long-lived daemon processes.
- Tag daemon settings by enabled state and explicit presence, without exporting setting values or contents; report invalid or unreadable settings as `unknown`.
## Testing
Add coverage for analytics defaults and explicit consent overrides, unconfirmed CLI updates, settings presence, and exactly-once launch observations. Extend the worktree TUI test to check startup tags and a single update handoff observation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 176d2ee594f930033fa1ece55d4c1c9603dbbc16
## What changed
- Run with `--no-daemon` without starting or probing the shared server, even when it is already running. Preserve the flag through `resume` and `fork`, and honor it for session archive commands.
- Reject combinations with `--remote`, `codex agents`, and `codex queue`, which require a server connection. Point users to `codex --no-daemon` when the agents overview cannot start its shared server.
- Centralize daemon eligibility checks and exclude launches using `--profile` or `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL` from implicit daemon reuse.
## Testing
Add coverage for flag propagation, incompatible command combinations, and daemon eligibility. Add a PTY test verifying that `--no-daemon` starts the TUI without creating daemon state or connecting to an existing control socket.
GitOrigin-RevId: acc6a7cb339df6433bb8273c796194cdceda37c1
## What changed
Add `codex tcp-tunnel` and the `codex-tcp-tunnel` crate to forward loopback TCP connections to an explicit target through a TLS-verified HTTP/3 CONNECT proxy.
- Require the proxy origin to match an approved HTTPS origin in a supplied policy file.
- Read bearer tokens and optional bounded, non-forwarding `x-` headers from stdin. Support token updates for new connections, `LISTENING` and `AUTH_UPDATED` notifications, and shutdown when the control pipe closes in token-update mode.
- Preserve the listener across proxy reconnects without replaying TCP streams, and let accepted streams continue while a proxy drains.
## Testing
Add tests for hidden CLI parsing, proxy and target validation, credential renewal, control-pipe closure, and invalid input without secret disclosure. A local HTTP/3 proxy test covers token replacement, transport recovery without stream replay, and graceful draining.
GitOrigin-RevId: c6af3025301c61e9fe90940cf5a6df0039465e69
## Why
Local daemon version warnings direct users to a shell command. Provide an update flow from the TUI with an explicit choice of package source and confirmation before exiting.
## What changed
- Add `/daemon` with options to install the latest public stable release or use the current CLI package. Point local server version notices to the menu.
- Default confirmation to Cancel and explain restart, interruption, and relaunch behavior. After confirmation, exit the TUI and run the update through the launching CLI executable, propagating failures.
- Keep maintenance available when disconnected or using the embedded server. Disable updates for remote connections or a missing CLI executable, and disable copying the CLI build when no local package is available.
## Testing
Add menu snapshots and interaction tests covering both update sources, cancellation, and unavailable actions. Add a Unix CLI handoff test verifying the selected executable, command arguments, and failure propagation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 06b485feb5650673ec7dd00adda01fedb8909393
## Why
`codex app-server daemon update` previously required a latest-channel installation, leaving pinned and local managed packages unable to return to production updates through that command.
## What changed
- Allow explicit updates to restore managed packages to the latest stable release while preserving the automatic-update preference. Extend legacy migration to local and pinned packages when the published installer and release support it.
- Bind restoration to the selected release with a single-use updater authorization and installer guards. Scheduled updates and ordinary updater socket requests continue to respect pins.
- Restart a running daemon when its selected package changes, even if the binary and version are identical; leave stopped daemons stopped.
- Reject incompatible production packages before selecting them, resolve Windows junction targets for ownership checks, and show the restoration command after installing a pinned CLI package.
## Testing
Extend daemon and installer tests to cover local-package migration, restoration with automatic updates enabled or disabled, same-binary package restarts, stopped-daemon preservation, selection races, incompatible releases, and socket requests that must not undo pins.
GitOrigin-RevId: d64520c1190b5c7bac084fb4a1b6b24998b08dfa
## What changed
Add `codex app-server daemon update --from-cli` to copy and pin the invoking CLI's complete package, including downgrades and local builds. Require interactive confirmation or `--yes`, and warn that restarting a running daemon may interrupt work.
Validate and stage the package before stopping the daemon, recheck the selection and running state after confirmation, and restart only a previously running daemon. Migrate legacy daemon installations to the dedicated package directory while preserving the standalone CLI selection. Explicit replacements disable automatic package updates.
## Testing
Add coverage for cancellation, packages changed during confirmation, version pinning, and legacy migration. Extend CLI integration tests to verify noninteractive confirmation requirements, rejection of incomplete packages without stopping the daemon, and successful replacement and restart.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2d971d6f0259aa576a15a8b115ca9d0e89060fdf
## Why
The daemon shares the standalone CLI package, coupling daemon updates to the visible CLI installation. A dedicated package lets daemon updates preserve the CLI selection and shell profile.
## What changed
- Add dedicated daemon package selection and separate daemon and updater PID files, with diagnostics for the new files.
- Make `codex app-server daemon update` migrate eligible legacy stable latest-channel installations to a dedicated package. Prepare and validate the release and its package-ownership support before switching; preserve settings and whether the daemon was running. Scheduled updates keep legacy installations in place.
- Add daemon-only and deferred-selection modes to the shell and PowerShell installers, leaving the visible CLI installation unchanged.
- Coordinate migration with installer locks, refresh package selection after acquiring lifecycle locks, and reject package changes during update downloads.
## Testing
Add coverage for running and stopped migrations, incompatible installers and releases, package-selection races, daemon-only updates, and a capability probe that does not start an updater. Add a shell installer regression test verifying that daemon installation preserves the visible CLI and shell profile.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1ec0f358f8f6ebde7daddb74e880cc8d2235d647
## Why
Allow MCP authentication to complete when the browser cannot reach the callback page by accepting the full redirect URL copied from its address bar.
## What changed
- Add `codex mcp login <name> --no-browser` to print the authorization URL and accept a pasted callback without launching a browser. HTTP callbacks remain supported while waiting for input.
- Validate pasted redirect URLs and OAuth responses before exchanging tokens, hide terminal input, bound input size, and avoid echoing callback values in diagnostics.
- Preserve manual input across discovered-scope retries and support cancellation during callback input and token exchange.
## Testing
Add unit and CLI integration tests for callback validation, bounded input, credential storage, HTTP callback completion with stdin open, scope retries, and cancellation during token exchange.
GitOrigin-RevId: 16ea9c3221f72d93e6e3e5acdc6b9465293a0a65
## Why
Loaded threads, including idle threads whose rollout files are still deferred, need to survive a managed daemon restart. Shutdown must also remain forceable when rollout I/O is blocked.
## What changed
- Add a hidden `--managed-daemon` option for app-server Unix socket transports. After active turns and admitted requests drain, save loaded persistent root threads before exiting.
- Skip ephemeral threads, non-root agent threads, and threads pending unload. Log persistence failures and continue saving other threads.
- Apply shutdown admission checks to thread and turn settings updates, thread deletion, and archiving.
- Keep force signals and daemon shutdown requests responsive during persistence. Return `AppServerExit::Forced` so executables can exit without waiting for runtime teardown.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for resuming active and idle threads after restart, forcing shutdown during active work, and forcing shutdown with a blocked rollout writer. Extend shutdown rejection coverage to deletion and settings updates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4344e97d39f9f80c5d84c41c17300fd6aa99b4cc
## What changed
Add `codex app-server daemon update` to check the latest stable release once, even when automatic updates are disabled. The command requires an installer-owned latest-channel standalone installation and reports `updated`, `noUpdate`, or `unsupported` as JSON, including installed and running versions.
Route manual requests through the updater so scheduled and manual installs share one owner and accepted updates continue if the CLI exits. Restart a running managed daemon when its binary or version differs from the selected installation; this may interrupt active or queued work. Return installer failures as command errors and retry requests across updater replacement.
## Testing
Add coverage for manual updates with automatic updates disabled, queued requests, same-version binary replacement, updater handoff retries, and unsupported installations or unmanaged servers.
GitOrigin-RevId: 240b63c79bae3a64a80768131a30da70900a4d62
## Why
`--worktree` previously supported only `codex exec` and `codex exec fork`. Interactive sessions need the same managed checkout support, with configuration and policy resolved for the destination before starting a turn.
## What changed
- Enable `codex --worktree` and `codex fork --worktree <session-id>` behind the `worktrees` feature, restricted to local sessions. Interactive forks require an explicit session selector.
- Resolve interactive and exec worktree forks from the session's latest saved working directory unless `--cd` is supplied. Keep relative `--add-dir` paths anchored to the invocation directory.
- Load interactive destination configuration before telemetry and login policy initialization, and bind checkout ownership before the first turn.
- Reject explicitly untrusted sources, including when destination cloud policy or refreshed configuration reveals distrust. Retain unbound interactive checkouts after startup failure and report manual recovery instructions.
## Testing
Add CLI integration and TUI tests for startup and named forks, destination instructions and configuration, ownership before the first request, trust enforcement, and retained-checkout recovery. Extend exec coverage for saved fork directories, explicit `--cd`, relative writable roots, and cloud policy rejection.

## What changed
Remove the `codex mcp-server` subcommand and the standalone `codex-mcp-server` crate, including its tests, interface documentation, build dependencies, and run recipe.
## Testing
Update the strict configuration test to use `codex exec hello`, preserving coverage for rejecting unknown configuration overrides.

## What changed
- Configure the CLI and app server to use `tikv-jemallocator` on
`x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` and `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`.
- Keep the dependency and global allocator selection scoped to those targets.

## Why
Allow remote exec servers to connect directly to AWS-hosted registries that
authenticate registry requests and WebSocket handshakes with AWS SigV4.
## What changed
- Add `--remote-transport direct` with SigV4 profile, region, and service
options while keeping Noise as the default transport.
- Register the `direct_jsonrpc_v1` transport and carry plain exec-server
JSON-RPC messages over the authenticated WebSocket.
- Reuse direct registrations across transient disconnects, refresh them after
a `409 Conflict`, and require TLS for non-loopback endpoints.
## Testing
- Cover CLI validation and SigV4 request signing.
- Exercise direct registration, handshake retry behavior, JSON-RPC
interoperability, and process recovery after reconnecting.

## What changed
- Add the macOS-only `allow_symlinked_codex_home` user setting. When enabled in the execution host's `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml`, writable roots at or beneath that home may traverse symlinks.
- Keep the exception disabled by default and prevent project config, command-line overrides, and ignored user config from enabling it. Other writable roots remain subject to symlink checks.
- Propagate the resolved setting through local, interactive, and exec-server sandbox paths, including `CODEX_HOME` aliases.
- Explain the opt-out in symlink rejection errors, including that it trusts targets outside `CODEX_HOME` and targets that change between commands.
## Testing
- Add macOS coverage for shell commands, patches, filesystem helpers, process execution, and interactive startup with enabled, disabled, aliased, and out-of-scope homes.

## What changed
- Add the experimental `worktrees` feature and a shared `--worktree` flag for new and forked `codex exec` sessions.
- Create each enabled session in a managed Git worktree, use that checkout as the session working directory, and bind the checkout to the new thread.
- Share the configured worktree pool with Desktop while leaving automatic cleanup disabled for CLI allocations.
- Reject unsupported commands, remote execution, ignored user configuration, ephemeral sessions, and use without the feature enabled before allocating a worktree.
## Testing
- Cover flag placement and inheritance, supported and rejected command combinations, worktree allocation and thread ownership, configuration gating, and compatibility with existing worktree-backed sessions.

## Why
The managed app-server daemon and automatic TUI attachment were limited to
Unix, so Windows users could not share a background server across Codex
sessions.
## What changed
- Enable daemon lifecycle commands, `codex agents` startup, and AF_UNIX daemon
discovery on Windows.
- Require Windows daemons to start non-elevated and verify the discovered
socket directory and peer before connecting.
- Preflight detached process support, preserve path-based environment settings,
and keep daemon processes out of the launching project's working directory.
- Fall back to an embedded server when an implicitly discovered daemon cannot
connect, while preserving errors for explicit remote endpoints and bypassing
daemon reuse when `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL` is set.
## Testing
Add coverage for Windows launch restrictions and socket validation, implicit
connection fallback, executor selection, daemon discovery, and the agents
dashboard startup result.

## What changed
- Move remote exec-server configuration and startup into a dedicated helper.
- Build local and remote run futures before wrapping them with shutdown handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 26819eacdbf8207a3119f48f4c8057b18cadb797
## Why
Clients need the executor's release version to make version-based compatibility decisions.
## What changed
- Add `executorVersion` to `EnvironmentInfo` and return it from both `initialize` and `environment/info`.
- Resolve the package release version at process startup so the advertised value remains stable for the server's lifetime.
- Use `0.0.0` when the version is unknown or omitted by a legacy executor.
## Testing
- Cover packaged and source-build initialization, startup caching, protocol serialization, and client-side metadata caching.
GitOrigin-RevId: a0c7f0b701a8e7e50345cd5fb1b5c5d2d38ff3b1
## What changed
- Show the exact `codex resume <thread-id>` command on its own indented line.
- When a thread has a name, also explain that users can run `codex resume` and select the named thread from the picker.
- Apply command highlighting to both resume options when color is enabled.
## Testing
- Cover unnamed, empty-name, named, colored, and embedded-session exit summaries.
GitOrigin-RevId: d97c04db8a34376c6d9ea839b515b04a384b85d1
## What changed
- Accept only `http://` and `https://` gRPC endpoints for app server
`--code-mode-host` connections.
- Limit the standalone code-mode host to stdio and gRPC listeners.
- Remove the WebSocket session provider, dual-WebSocket negotiation, transport
lanes, and related dependencies and tests.
- Keep coverage for shared and prewarmed gRPC hosts and reject WebSocket host
URLs in CLI parsing tests.
