TL;DR: update the quickstart integration assertion to match the current
example output.
- replace the stale `Status:` expectation for
`01_quickstart_constructor` with `Server:`, `Items:`, and `Text:`
- keep the existing guard against `Server: unknown`
## Summary
- remove the fork-startup `build_initial_context` injection
- keep the reconstructed `reference_context_item` as the fork baseline
until the first real turn
- update fork-history tests and the request snapshot, and add a
`TODO(ccunningham)` for remaining nondiffable initial-context inputs
## Why
Fork startup was appending current-session initial context immediately
after reconstructing the parent rollout, then the first real turn could
emit context updates again. That duplicated model-visible context in the
child rollout.
## Impact
Forked sessions now behave like resume for context seeding: startup
reconstructs history and preserves the prior baseline, and the first
real turn handles any current-session context emission.

- Removes provenance filtering in the mentions feature for apps and
skills that were installed as part of a plugin.
- All skills and apps for a plugin are mentionable with this change.
## Why
This is a follow-up to #15360. That change fixed the `arg0` helper
setup, but `rmcp-client` still coerced stdio transport environment
values into UTF-8 `String`s before program resolution and process spawn.
If `PATH` or another inherited environment value contains non-UTF-8
bytes, that loses fidelity before it reaches `which` and `Command`.
## What changed
- change `create_env_for_mcp_server()` to return `HashMap<OsString,
OsString>` and read inherited values with `std::env::var_os()`
- change `TransportRecipe::Stdio.env`, `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`,
and `program_resolver::resolve()` to keep stdio transport env values in
`OsString` form within `rmcp-client`
- keep the `codex-core` config boundary stringly, but convert configured
stdio env values to `OsString` once when constructing the transport
- update the rmcp-client stdio test fixtures and callers to use
`OsString` env maps
- add a Unix regression test that verifies `create_env_for_mcp_server()`
preserves a non-UTF-8 `PATH`
## How to verify
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_connection_manager`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
Targeted coverage in this change includes
`utils::tests::create_env_preserves_path_when_it_is_not_utf8`, while the
updated stdio transport path is exercised by the existing rmcp-client
tests that construct `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`.
### Summary
Add the v2 app-server filesystem watch RPCs and notifications, wire them
through the message processor, and implement connection-scoped watches
with notify-backed change delivery. This also updates the schema
fixtures, app-server documentation, and the v2 integration coverage for
watch and unwatch behavior.
This allows clients to efficiently watch for filesystem updates, e.g. to
react on branch changes.
### Testing
- exercise watch lifecycles for directory changes, atomic file
replacement, missing-file targets, and unwatch cleanup
- move the shared byte-based middle truncation logic from `core` into
`codex-utils-string`
- keep token-specific truncation in `codex-core` so rollout can reuse
the shared helper in the next stacked PR

## Summary
- drop `sandbox_permissions` from the sandboxing `ExecOptions` and
`ExecRequest` adapter types
- remove the now-unused plumbing from shell, unified exec, JS REPL, and
apply-patch runtime call sites
- default reconstructed `ExecParams` to `SandboxPermissions::UseDefault`
where the lower-level API still requires the field
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (still running locally; first failures
observed in `suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli`,
`suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli_supports_openai_base_url_config_override`,
and
`suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli_supports_openai_base_url_env_fallback`)
Switch plugin-install background MCP OAuth to a silent login path so the
raw authorization URL is no longer printed in normal success cases.
OAuth behavior is otherwise unchanged, with fallback URL output via
stderr still shown only if browser launch fails.

## Summary
Fixes slow `Ctrl+C` exit from the ChatGPT browser-login screen in
`tui_app_server`.
## Root cause
Onboarding-level `Ctrl+C` quit bypassed the auth widget's cancel path.
That let the active ChatGPT login keep running, and in-process
app-server shutdown then waited on the stale login attempt before
finishing.
## Changes
- Extract a shared `cancel_active_attempt()` path in the auth widget
- Use that path from onboarding-level `Ctrl+C` before exiting the TUI
- Add focused tests for canceling browser-login and device-code attempts
- Add app-server shutdown cleanup that explicitly drops any active login
before draining background work
## Summary
Fixes ChatGPT login in `tui_app_server` so the local browser opens again
during in-process login flows.
## Root cause
The app-server backend intentionally starts ChatGPT login with browser
auto-open disabled, expecting the TUI client to open the returned
`auth_url`. The app-server TUI was not doing that, so the login URL was
shown in the UI but no browser window opened.
## Changes
- Add a helper that opens the returned ChatGPT login URL locally
- Call it from the main ChatGPT login flow
- Call it from the device-code fallback-to-browser path as well
- Limit auto-open to in-process app-server handles so remote sessions do
not try to open a browser against a remote localhost callback
