## Summary
- tighten the external migration prompt snapshot around stable synthetic
fixture text
- add focused display_description tests for relative path rewriting and
plugin summaries
- split the path-format assertions into smaller, easier-to-read unit
tests
## Why
The previous prompt snapshot was coupled to path text that came from
detected migration items, which made it noisier and more brittle than
necessary. This change keeps the snapshot focused on stable UI structure
and moves dynamic path formatting checks into targeted unit tests.
## Validation
- cargo test -p codex-tui external_agent_config_migration::tests::
- cargo test -p codex-tui
external_agent_config_migration::tests::display_description_
- just fmt
## Notes
Per the repo instructions, I did not rerun tests after the final `just
fmt` pass.
This change aligns the `/statusline` and `/title` UIs around the same
normalized item model so both surfaces use consistent ids, labels, and
preview semantics. It keeps the shared preview work from #18435 ,
tightens the remaining mismatches by standardizing item naming, expands
title/status item coverage where appropriate, and makes `/title` preview
use the same title-specific formatting path as the real rendered
terminal title.
- Normalizes persisted item ids and keeps legacy aliases for
compatibility
- Aligns `status-line` and `terminal-title` items with the shared
preview model
- Routes `terminal-title` preview through title-specific formatting and
truncation
- Updates the affected status/title setup snapshots
Added to `/statusline`:
- status
- task-progress
Normalized in `/statusline`:
- model-name -> model
- project-root -> project-name
Added to `/title`:
- current-dir
- context-remaining
- context-used
- five-hour-limit
- weekly-limit
- codex-version
- used-tokens
- total-input-tokens
- total-output-tokens
- session-id
- fast-mode
- model-with-reasoning
Normalized in `/title`:
- project -> project-name
- thread -> thread-title
- model-name -> model
## Summary
Allow guardian to skip other fields and output only
`{"outcome":"allow"}` when the command is low risk.
This change lets guardian reviews use a non-strict text format while
keeping the JSON schema itself as plain user-visible schema data, so
transport strictness is carried out-of-band instead of through a schema
marker key.
## What changed
- Add an explicit `output_schema_strict` flag to model prompts and pass
it into `codex-api` text formatting.
- Set guardian reviewer prompts to non-strict schema validation while
preserving strict-by-default behavior for normal callers.
- Update the guardian output contract so definitely-low-risk decisions
may return only `{"outcome":"allow"}`.
- Treat bare allow responses as low-risk approvals in the guardian
parser.
- Add tests and snapshots covering the non-strict guardian request and
optional guardian output fields.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian::tests::guardian`
- `cargo test -p codex-core guardian::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-core client_common::tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol
user_input_serialization_includes_final_output_json_schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-api`
- `git diff --check`
Note: `cargo test -p codex-core` was also attempted, but this desktop
environment injects ambient config/proxy state that causes unrelated
config/session tests expecting pristine defaults to fail.

## Summary
Adds the standalone `codex-rollout-trace` crate, which defines the raw
trace event format, replay/reduction model, writer, and reducer logic
for reconstructing model-visible conversation/runtime state from
recorded rollout data.
The crate-level design is documented in
[`codex-rs/rollout-trace/README.md`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/codex/rollout-trace-crate/codex-rs/rollout-trace/README.md).
## Stack
This is PR 1/5 in the rollout trace stack.
- [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout
trace crate
- [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core
session rollout traces
- [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and
code-mode boundaries
- [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions
and multi-agent edges
- [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace
reduction command
## Review Notes
This PR intentionally does not wire tracing into live Codex execution.
It establishes the data model and reducer contract first, with
crate-local tests covering conversation reconstruction, compaction
boundaries, tool/session edges, and code-cell lifecycle reduction. Later
PRs emit into this model.
The README is the best entry point for reviewing the intended trace
format and reduction semantics before diving into the reducer modules.
## Summary
- Adds a process-local, in-memory cookie store for ChatGPT HTTP clients.
- Limits cookie storage and replay to a shared ChatGPT host allowlist.
- Wires the shared store into the default Codex reqwest client and
backend client.
- Shares the ChatGPT host allowlist with remote-control URL validation
to avoid drift.
- Enables reqwest cookie support and updates lockfiles.
## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
## Why
The device-key protocol needs an app-server implementation that keeps
local key operations behind the same request-processing boundary as
other v2 APIs.
app-server owns request dispatch, transport policy, documentation, and
JSON-RPC error shaping. `codex-device-key` owns key binding, validation,
platform provider selection, and signing mechanics. Keeping the adapter
thin makes the boundary easier to review and avoids moving local
key-management details into thread orchestration code.
## What changed
- Added `DeviceKeyApi` as the app-server adapter around
`DeviceKeyStore`.
- Converted protocol protection policies, payload variants, algorithms,
and protection classes to and from the device-key crate types.
- Encoded SPKI public keys and DER signatures as base64 protocol fields.
- Routed `device/key/create`, `device/key/public`, and `device/key/sign`
through `MessageProcessor`.
- Rejected remote transports before provider access while allowing local
`stdio` and in-process callers to reach the device-key API.
- Added stdio, in-process, and websocket tests for device-key validation
and transport policy.
- Documented the device-key methods in the app-server v2 method list.
## Test coverage
- `device_key_create_rejects_empty_account_user_id`
- `in_process_allows_device_key_requests_to_reach_device_key_api`
- `device_key_methods_are_rejected_over_websocket`
## Stack
This is PR 3 of 4 in the device-key app-server stack. It is stacked on
#18429.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server device_key`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
## Summary
Adds main-chat shortcuts for changing reasoning effort one step at a
time:
- `Alt+,` lowers reasoning (has the `<` arrow on the key)
- `Alt+.` raises reasoning (similarly, has the `>` arrow)
The shortcut updates the active session only. It does not persist the
selected reasoning level as the default for future sessions. In Plan
mode, it applies temporarily to Plan mode without opening the
global-vs-Plan scope prompt.
## Details
The shortcut uses the active model preset to decide which reasoning
levels are valid. If the current session has no explicit reasoning
effort, it starts from the model default. Each keypress moves to the
next supported level in the requested direction.
The shortcut only runs from the main chat surface. If a popup or modal
is open, input remains owned by that UI.
In Plan mode, the shortcut updates the in-memory Plan reasoning override
directly. The model/reasoning picker still keeps the existing scope
prompt for explicit picker changes.
## Notes
Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus were considered, but terminals do not deliver
those combinations consistently, so this PR uses Alt shortcuts instead.
If the current effort is unsupported by the selected model, the shortcut
skips to the nearest supported level in the requested direction. If
there is no valid step, it shows the existing boundary message.
## Tests
- `cargo test -p codex-tui reasoning_shortcuts`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui reasoning_effort`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui reasoning_shortcut`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui footer_snapshots`

## Why
PR #18431 exposed a Bazel clippy failure in the app-server unit-test
target across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The failing lint was
`clippy::await_holding_invalid_type`: two tracing tests serialized
access to global tracing state by holding a `tokio::sync::MutexGuard`
across awaited test work.
That serialization is still needed because the tests share
process-global tracing setup and exporter state, but it should not
require holding an async mutex guard through the whole test body.
## What changed
- Replaced the bespoke async `tracing_test_guard` helper with
`serial_test` on the two tracing tests that need global tracing
serialization.
- Removed the `#[expect(clippy::await_holding_invalid_type)]`
annotations and the lock guard callsites that Bazel clippy rejected.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server jsonrpc_span`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
- `git diff --check`
I also attempted the exact failing Bazel clippy target locally with
BuildBuddy disabled: `bazel --noexperimental_remote_repo_contents_cache
build --config=clippy --bes_backend= --remote_cache=
--experimental_remote_downloader= --
//codex-rs/app-server:app-server-unit-tests-bin`. That run did not reach
clippy because Bazel timed out downloading `libcap-2.27.tar.gz` from
`kernel.org`.
## Why
Device-key storage and signing are local security-sensitive operations
with platform-specific behavior. Keeping the core API in
`codex-device-key` keeps app-server focused on routing and business
logic instead of owning key-management details.
The crate keeps the signing surface intentionally narrow: callers can
create a bound key, fetch its public key, or sign one of the structured
payloads accepted by the crate. It does not expose a generic
arbitrary-byte signing API.
Key IDs cross into platform-specific labels, tags, and metadata paths,
so externally supplied IDs are constrained to the same auditable
namespace created by the crate: `dk_` followed by unpadded base64url for
32 bytes. Remote-control target paths are also tied to each signed
payload shape so connection proofs cannot be reused for enrollment
endpoints, or vice versa.
## What changed
- Added the `codex-device-key` workspace crate.
- Added account/client-bound key creation with stable `dk_` key IDs.
- Added strict `key_id` validation before public-key lookup or signing
reaches a provider.
- Added public-key lookup and structured signing APIs.
- Split remote-control client endpoint allowlists by connection vs
enrollment payload shape.
- Added validation for key bindings, accepted payload fields, token
expiration, and payload/key binding mismatches.
- Added flow-oriented docs on the validation helpers that gate provider
signing.
- Added protection policy and protection-class types without wiring a
platform provider yet.
- Added an unsupported default provider so platforms without an
implementation fail explicitly instead of silently falling back to
software-backed keys.
- Updated Cargo and Bazel lock metadata for the new crate and
non-platform-specific dependencies.
## Stack
This is stacked on #18428.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-device-key`
- Added unit coverage for strict `key_id` validation before provider
use.
- Added unit coverage that rejects remote-control paths from the wrong
signed payload shape.
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Summary
This is the runtime/foundation half of the Windows sandbox unified-exec
work.
- add Windows sandbox `unified_exec` session support in
`windows-sandbox-rs` for both:
- the legacy restricted-token backend
- the elevated runner backend
- extend the PTY/process runtime so driver-backed sessions can support:
- stdin streaming
- stdout/stderr separation
- exit propagation
- PTY resize hooks
- add Windows sandbox runtime coverage in `codex-windows-sandbox` /
`codex-utils-pty`
This PR does **not** enable Windows sandbox `UnifiedExec` for product
callers yet because hooking this up to app-server comes in the next PR.
Windows sandbox advertising is intentionally kept aligned with `main`,
so sandboxed Windows callers still fall back to `ShellCommand`.
This PR isolates the runtime/session layer so it can be reviewed
independently from product-surface enablement.

This is the first step in splitting the Python SDK PyPI publish work
into reviewable layers: land the generated SDK refresh by itself before
changing packaging mechanics. The next PRs will make the runtime wheel
publishable, then wire the SDK package/version pinning to that runtime.
## Summary
- Refresh generated Python app-server v2 models and notification
registry from the current schema.
- Update the public API signature expectations for the newly generated
kwargs.
## Stack
- PR 1 of 3 for the Python SDK PyPI publishing split.
- Follow-up PRs will handle runtime wheel publishing mechanics, then
SDK/package version pinning.
## Tests
- `uv run --extra dev pytest` in `sdk/python` -> 51 passed, 37 skipped.
## Why
Permission approval responses must not be able to grant more access than
the tool requested. Moving this flow to `PermissionProfile` means the
comparison must be profile-shaped instead of `SandboxPolicy`-shaped, and
cwd-relative special paths such as `:cwd` and `:project_roots` must stay
anchored to the turn that produced the request.
## What changed
This implements semantic `PermissionProfile` intersection in
`codex-sandboxing` for file-system and network permissions. The
intersection accepts narrower path grants, rejects broader grants,
preserves deny-read carve-outs and glob scan depth, and materializes
cwd-dependent special-path grants to absolute paths before they can be
recorded for reuse.
The request-permissions response paths now use that intersection
consistently. App-server captures the request turn cwd before waiting
for the client response, includes that cwd in the v2 approval params,
and core stores the requested profile plus cwd for direct TUI/client
responses and Guardian decisions before recording turn- or
session-scoped grants. The TUI app-server bridge now preserves the
app-server request cwd when converting permission approval params into
core events.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing intersect_permission_profiles --
--nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server request_permissions_response --
--nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
request_permissions_response_materializes_session_cwd_grants_before_recording
-- --nocapture`
- `cargo check -p codex-tui --tests`
- `cargo check --tests`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui
app_server_request_permissions_preserves_file_system_permissions`
## Summary
The TUI app refactor in #18753 moved the old `app.rs` tests into a
single `app/tests.rs` file. That kept the split mechanically simple, but
it left several focused unit tests far from the modules they exercise.
This PR is a follow-up that moves tests next to the code they cover.
It also adds `tui/src/app/test_support.rs` for shared fixture
construction.
This is just a mechanical refactoring (no functional changes) and does
not affect any production code.
## Why
`debug_clear_memories_resets_state_and_removes_memory_dir` can be flaky
because the test drops its `sqlx::SqlitePool` immediately before
invoking `codex debug clear-memories`. Dropping the pool does not wait
for all SQLite connections to close, so the CLI can race with still-open
test connections.
## What changed
- Await `pool.close()` before spawning `codex debug clear-memories`.
- Close the reopened verification pool before the temp `CODEX_HOME` is
torn down.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-cli --test debug_clear_memories
debug_clear_memories_resets_state_and_removes_memory_dir`
Fixes#17954.
## Why
When a manual shell command like `!sleep 10` is running, submitting
plain text such as `hi` currently sends that text as a steer for the
active shell turn. User shell turns are not steerable like model turns,
so the TUI can remain stuck in `Working` after the shell command
finishes.
## What Changed
- Detect when the only active work is one or more
`ExecCommandSource::UserShell` commands.
- Queue plain submitted input in that state so it drains after the shell
command and shell turn complete.
- Preserve `!cmd` submissions during running work so explicit shell
commands keep their existing behavior.
- Add regression coverage for the `!sleep 10` plus `hi` flow in
`chatwidget::tests::exec_flow::user_message_during_user_shell_command_is_queued_not_steered`.
## Verification
- Manually confirmed hang before the fix and no hang after the fix
## Summary
- wrap OSC 9 notifications in tmux's DCS passthrough so terminal
notifications make it through tmux
- use codex-terminal-detection for OSC 9 auto-selection so tmux sessions
inherit the underlying client terminal support
- add focused notification backend tests for plain OSC 9 and
tmux-wrapped output
## Stack
- base PR: #18479
- review order: #18479, then this PR
## Why
Tmux does not forward OSC 9 notifications directly; the sequence has to
be wrapped in tmux's DCS passthrough envelope. Codex also had local
notification heuristics that could miss supported terminals when running
under tmux, even though codex-terminal-detection already knows how to
attribute tmux sessions to the client terminal.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` *(currently blocked by an unrelated existing
compile error in `app-server/src/message_processor.rs:754` referencing
`connection_id` out of scope; not caused by this change)*
