## Why
Failed cloud discovery previously retried before each model step. Apply a cooldown across steps and turns to avoid repeated discovery requests while a provider remains unavailable.
## What changed
- Share per-thread retry backoff logic between cloud skill and plugin catalogs, starting at 30 seconds and doubling to a maximum of 5 minutes.
- Scope cooldowns to authentication and MCP resource generations so account changes and reconnects permit immediate recovery.
- Clear backoff after successful discovery or configuration resets, while allowing cancelled refreshes to retry immediately.
## Testing
Update lifecycle and concurrency tests to cover shared cooldowns, reconnect recovery, and cancellation. Use paused time to verify exponential delays, the 5-minute cap, and backoff across turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: 30dab5ceba51e8ad64c0794c1729719e99f577ce
## Why
Authentication can change between model steps. Refresh cloud catalogs before the next step so plugin acceptance and skill instructions reflect the current auth scope, including plugins that are no longer available.
## What changed
- Add a `refresh_catalog_for_step` lifecycle hook and rebuild MCP when plugin catalogs change.
- Reuse successful discovery within a turn and auth scope, serialize concurrent refreshes, and allow retries after failures or cancellation. Limit cloud skill discovery warnings to once per turn.
- Skip cloud discovery during prewarm and other context-only captures, and check hosted plugins even when no executor roots are selected.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for mid-turn auth rotation and plugin removal, serialized refreshes and retries, stale discovery results, and prewarm boundaries.
GitOrigin-RevId: 355681e84dc765e8dc1a04608779d95c706c2188
## What changed
Move cached cloud skill contents into `SkillCatalogState` alongside the published catalog generation. Prepare auth scopes and access cached contents under the same lock, clearing contents when the auth scope changes and retaining them when a partial refresh preserves a complete catalog. Keep generation checks around asynchronous discovery and reads.
Use the auth key already captured by `prepare_cloud_generation` when creating a cloud plugin generation, so the stored and returned keys match.
GitOrigin-RevId: 426bb7868baf9ff7855988291783a8d3e38d9c93
## What changed
- Update Cargo and Bazel toolchain pins, CI and release workflows, and Windows setup from Rust `1.95.0` to `1.99.1`.
- Adapt Rust code to updated APIs and lint requirements, including `try_update` and `as_chunks`, and refresh the halfwidth sound marks snapshot.
- Update `webpki-root-certs` from `1.0.5` to `1.0.10` in the Cargo and Bazel lockfiles.
GitOrigin-RevId: e1aaed63b7e72bb8c8bbe25b32c6329c9a37b6c3
## 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
## Why
Skill tools depended on World State rendering to initialize their catalogs and could return `skill catalog is not ready for this step` before rendering completed.
## What changed
- Add an asynchronous `ToolContributor::prepare_for_step` hook and await all contributors before constructing tools.
- Prepare immutable skill catalogs, aliases, plugin policy, and configuration for each step. Tools, invocation detection, and World State rendering consume the prepared state without relying on rendering to perform discovery.
- Apply configuration reloads to subsequent steps while preserving live authorization checks for skill reads.
## Testing
Add coverage for preparation completing before tool construction and World State rendering, skill tools working before rendering, catalogs remaining stable across steps, and configuration reloads during discovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1fb95c58c412488353f3bd4403824d6d1476d3d0
## Why
A skill can be available from Cloud and multiple executor environments. Reading its instructions needs to expose where supporting files live and allow discovery of locations omitted by response limits. Package aliases also need to keep identifying the same roots as catalogs change.
## What changed
- With executor capability discovery V2, add `skills.installations` to list enabled locations with source filtering and pagination, without reading skill contents.
- Let `skills.read` select Cloud or a specific executor environment through `source`. Return bounded installation metadata and an `installations_truncated` flag so callers can retrieve omitted locations.
- Share bounded, append-only alias assignments between catalog rendering and tools within a live thread. Preserve each step's alias snapshot and render only root mappings used by its catalog entries.
- Use discovery-root metadata when constructing executor skill locators, with a fallback when it is absent. Preserve the legacy read response and tool set outside discovery V2.
## Testing
Add coverage for installation filtering and pagination, response budgets, source-specific reads and cursors, and alias stability across catalog and plugin changes. Add an end-to-end scenario that discovers an omitted installation and reads its instructions from the selected environment.
GitOrigin-RevId: a04e51e8242b21288d9d7b822780f9f1e093151d
## What changed
- Build executor skill catalogs from discovery V2 inventories without reopening host paths or falling back to legacy discovery.
- Merge Cloud and executor skills by remote plugin identity and skill name, retaining Cloud metadata and accepted provider read routes. Apply plugin selection and disablement before merging.
- Share a stable catalog across each step's rendering, list/read tools, and explicit and implicit skill invocations.
- Preserve unmatched executor entries when Cloud catalogs are unavailable or partial; only complete Cloud catalogs disable unmatched remote entries.
- Bind discovery caches to captured environments and executor sessions, and refresh MCP when V2 inventories change. Preserve pending invalidations when forced MCP refreshes fail.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for V2 inventory sharing and refresh, environment isolation, catalog merging, partial Cloud results, disabled plugins, and catalog consistency across steps and read routes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 842bdcbc9e19364dd69a9abf9e48330b7425a76c
## Why
Skill aliases already identify their source, but `skills.read` searched the cloud catalog before the executor catalog even for executor aliases.
## What changed
Parse package locators to recognize cloud (`c0/...`), executor (`e0/...`), and host (`r0/...`) aliases. Restrict cloud and executor alias lookups to the matching catalog, while retaining the existing search order for other package strings.
Share the source-to-prefix mapping between alias generation and parsing, and preserve the string representation and tool schema for package locators.
## Testing
Extend alias tests to cover source recognition, JSON round trips, and malformed alias strings, including leading zeros, missing suffixes, non-ASCII prefixes, and overflowing indices.
GitOrigin-RevId: f835e47a244aa0cf9eb95980ea23f4d7fcedd511
## What changed
- Use V2 discovery inventories for plugin MCP contributions when supplied, including empty or failed inventories; retain legacy discovery when no V2 snapshot is supplied.
- Merge plugins by canonical identity, using cloud metadata and enablement for remote plugins and attaching executor installations only when versions match. Preserve configured executor-local plugins and executor enablement when cloud data is unavailable.
- Keep installation order stable across refreshes and run merged MCP declarations on the first retained executor installation while preserving attribution for the others.
- Carry local and remote identities through selected-plugin snapshots, skill attribution, and active-plugin telemetry. Track disabled plugin IDs alongside disabled roots.
- Preserve a complete cloud catalog when a partial refresh arrives, and cap tool-description plugin attribution at 1,024 bytes while retaining all plugin associations.
## Testing
Add coverage for catalog parsing and reconciliation, enablement and discovery-mode selection, installation refresh ordering, executor-specific MCP normalization, selected-plugin snapshots, and bounded UTF-8 attribution text.
GitOrigin-RevId: a8ad352de6a2b8dc4bfd1ff6a5c62ee8ed1d1664
## Why
Contextual fragments and extension-owned world-state sections currently return strings, limiting them to text content.
## What changed
- Return `ContentItem` from fragment bodies and rendering, preserving classification and attribution. Apply text markers only to `InputText`; pass other content through unchanged.
- Allow extension prompt and world-state contributions to carry typed content, and preserve media in context-window hints.
- Hash non-text world-state fragments by their serialized content and role while retaining the existing text hashing behavior.
- Add shared content-to-tool-output conversion that preserves image references, image detail, and audio.
## Testing
Add coverage for typed world-state hashing and preservation of image content and attribution. Expand code-mode output tests to cover input text, output text, file-backed and inline images, and audio.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ed00d466a3f169b151202f3eef71e667ea64be1
## What changed
- Upload generated images to the attachment store and expose `fileId` in image-generation items when available, with inline `result` fallback on upload or decoding failure.
- Preserve file references through legacy events, persisted rollouts, thread history, and task output summaries. Keep model-facing image preparation separate.
- Add attachment request tags and mark generated-image uploads with `usage=image_gen`, preserving the thread's ephemeral setting.
- Update public schemas and SDK types to accept either image representation, retain the Python `ImageGenerationThreadItem` alias, and prefer `fileId` when reading records containing both fields.
## Testing
Add coverage for file-backed generation and rollout persistence, legacy history replay, inline and transitional serialization, task output visibility, and Python SDK alias compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: f7a2bb5707e2f277348a547a988bc33c8e96d891
## Why
Message roles and content classifications do not identify who supplied each context part. Source attribution needs to survive prompt assembly and history truncation, including messages that combine text from different producers.
## What changed
- Add per-part `ContentItemMetadata` for user input, developer instructions, `AGENTS.md`, skills, harness context, command hooks, and tool context with optional callable namespaces.
- Carry attribution alongside content and classifications through contextual fragments, extension prompts, hook output, and agent messages. Keep tool-provided context-window hints separate from harness text.
- Preserve the source of retained text slices during compaction and attribute generated truncation notices to the harness. Default missing historical attribution to unknown.
- Attribute host MCP calls using cached tool namespaces only when catalog revisions remain stable, without starting servers or refreshing catalogs for attribution.
- Send the new metadata to Responses Lite and strip it from requests to endpoints that do not support it.
## Testing
Extend compaction tests to cover mixed sources, missing or extra metadata entries, and discarded media. Update Responses Lite request assertions to verify endpoint-specific attribution handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: b0ebc929b7c60f3ec49d1affbf897312d63edcc8
## What changed
- Return qualified skill names such as `team:deploy` and parsed `dependencies` and `policy` instead of a separate namespace and raw metadata file. Share `agents/openai.yaml` parsing and validation between skill loaders and executor discovery.
- Include each standalone skill's search-root ID and path in `discoveryRoot`, while accepting responses from older executors that omit it.
- Add plugin `displayName`, falling back to the manifest name or installation directory.
- Materialize inline MCP declarations in `mcpConfig` with the manifest as their source path, and report incomplete discovery when declared MCP or Apps configuration files have no returned contents.
## Testing
Add coverage for JSON round trips, omitted `discoveryRoot`, optional and invalid skill metadata, qualified names, display-name fallbacks, and inline MCP configuration. Verify standalone search roots survive cached discovery and sandboxed RPC responses.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4124972444ad7c2fb8c6418acbf9a589d797fad2
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `executor_capability_discovery_v2` feature to acquire `capabilities/discoverV2` inventories from supporting remote executors using each selected environment's working directory and sandbox.
- Share snapshots with MCP and world-state contributors and skill providers without activating discovered plugins or publishing discovered skills to the model.
- Cache inventories by environment instance, executor session, working directory, and sandbox. Coalesce concurrent requests, refresh the cache at turn start, retry transient failures, and refresh MCP projections after recovery.
- Resolve the system skills root in the executor and pass it explicitly to capability location discovery.
## Testing
Add coverage for feature gating, unsupported executors, inert inventories, cache reuse and eviction, turn refreshes, failure recovery, executor replacement, and system skill locations.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1bdca28fa7f17622b27e2713ab3dcc0c13426889
## What changed
- Remove `ContentItemMetadata`, provenance and namespace types, and the `content_item_metadata` protocol field while retaining `content_item_kinds` classifications.
- Simplify context fragments, extension contributions, and hook output to carry content without source attribution. Return MCP tool results directly without an attribution wrapper.
- Render context-window hints together in a single text fragment.
## Testing
Update Responses and Responses Lite request assertions to expect content-kind classifications without per-content attribution, and adapt context, hook, and extension tests to the simplified types.
GitOrigin-RevId: 201894cd4c93c6d4b4c41c845e7a9af1dd3c95ca
## Why
Tools that do not opt into parallel execution acquire an exclusive scheduler lock, serializing independent reads.
## What changed
Allow skill listing and reading, memory listing, reading and searching, conversation history search and reading, plugin listing, agent listing, current time, remaining context, and `get_goal` to run in parallel. Keep goal creation and updates serialized.
## Testing
Add `cloud_skill_reads_run_in_parallel`, which uses a barrier to require two cloud skill reads to overlap and verifies that each returns the expected resource contents.
GitOrigin-RevId: 97b5634f1f84be2ba092be89e6e9c634ca75c07b
## What changed
- Add `ContentItemMetadata` to distinguish user input, developer instructions, `AGENTS.md`, skills, harness context, and tool-supplied context independently of message role and content classification.
- Keep attribution attached to content through prompt assembly, history processing, and hook-output spilling. Distinguish command hooks from MCP hooks and retain tool namespaces when known.
- Treat missing historical attribution as unknown and send per-content metadata only to Responses Lite.
## Testing
Update request and history assertions to cover attribution persistence and Responses Lite metadata handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 24e56005f5bdb98bf82f2b3943f29c4c81f3d587
## Why
Tokio runtime tracing can cause SQLite log writes to enqueue more writes and exporter activity to generate further OTLP exports.
## What changed
- Exclude `tokio` and `runtime` spans from OTLP export alongside `h2` spans.
- Limit `tokio::` and `runtime::` targets to `INFO` in the default log filter, and reject their `TRACE` events directly in the SQLite sink even without an outer filter.
- Box and pin the session-loop future before spawning it.
- Reorder tracing and Tokio test attributes, restrict the skills concurrency test's subscriber to the catalog-refresh span, and use the default log filter in the SQLite formatter comparison test.
GitOrigin-RevId: f545013a2469088d7f9890c1f46bb93eb5446d2d
## Why
Capability discovery needs the roots captured with each environment snapshot. Threads sharing an executor can select different roots, and changing environment order must preserve executor skill aliases.
## What changed
- Attach the receiving thread's capability roots when constructing `TurnEnvironmentSelection` at startup and settings updates, including roots loaded from saved history.
- Resolve capability roots from environment snapshots while preserving their original order. Retain startup roots so deselecting and reselecting an environment restores its capabilities.
- Match inherited configuration by environment and workspace so differences in capability root metadata do not interrupt configuration propagation.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for root ordering across environment states and configuration changes, independent root selections on a shared executor, reselection with startup or saved roots, active turn updates, and pending configuration failures reaching child and grandchild threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4f2e4bb414d27195a6752406117a6050718a1198
## Why
Skill selection and disabled-path matching need to recognize equivalent Windows paths across case and separator differences while preserving literal spaces, `%`, and `#` in native filenames.
## What changed
- Carry `PathUri` through skill metadata, discovery mappings, filesystem lookups, disabled-path sets, and invocation analytics.
- Match linked skill mentions and TUI selections by parsed path identity.
- Use `LegacyAppPathString` for app-server skill paths and regenerate schemas and SDK types, preserving native path strings on the wire.
- Preserve native catalog display paths and ordering. Keep host filesystem probes and configuration writes restricted to host-compatible paths.
## Testing
Add regression tests for Windows path identity and disabled-skill matching, literal filename characters, catalog resource reads, native path ordering, and foreign-path analytics normalization.
GitOrigin-RevId: c212916dc9fef0e7616542726e107f0d6a313267
## What changed
- Accept per-environment `skills.required` lists through `environment/add` and `environments.toml`.
- Before inference, require each named skill to be enabled and supplied by the selected environment. Missing skills fail the turn before a model request, including when environment setup fails.
- Stop applying an environment's requirements after it is deselected. Exempt isolated Guardian reviewers, which have no skill catalog.
## Testing
Add tests for available, missing, disabled, and wrong-environment skills, failed environment setup, recovery after deselection, and propagation of TOML requirements to the correct environment.
GitOrigin-RevId: 302ced4774697d2f414f745fe0535e71f747eda2
## Why
Manual, pre-turn, and post-turn compaction previously deferred rebuilding initial context until the next turn. Their saved replacement history could omit refreshed instructions and skill catalogs.
## What changed
- Install initial context during local and remote compaction, before the last real user message or summary, keeping the compaction summary last.
- Persist matching full world-state and turn-context baselines with every replacement instead of retaining only partial extension metadata.
- Build replacement context and recompute token usage for the current model even when the previous model performs compaction. Reuse that captured context for eligible current-model retries.
- Capture manual compaction context centrally and propagate preparation errors to the task runner.
## Testing
Update assertions and snapshots for context ordering, refreshed instructions, resume and fork history, current-model checkpoint baselines, and cloud skill catalog retention across compaction and resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8572a76c31c6884a3c580b3bbb350d49af876bd1
## Why
Environment changes and overlapping catalog refreshes can cause a step to use another step's selected plugins or executor skills. Model context and skill tools need to agree on the capabilities captured for that step.
## What changed
- Resolve selected plugins from each step's ready capability roots, honoring disabled plugins, and retain the snapshot with the step's extension data.
- Use that snapshot for skill attribution in World State and the first step's active-plugin telemetry.
- Return executor skill catalogs directly from refresh so overlapping requests render their own results while retaining thread caches.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for overlapping executor catalogs and environment changes during step preparation. Verify that `skills.list` retains the original step's skills, the next step advertises the new skills, and disabled executor and plugin skills remain absent from model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: 37d3cbe8c7e062fd06290aa985ada4d3b3462d43
## Why
Executor skill reads need to use the environments and permissions captured for the current step, including newly approved grants. Cached continuation pages must remain bound to the filesystem and permissions that produced them.
## What changed
- Supply borrowed `EnvironmentAccess` to turn-input contributors and extension tools, with session and originating-turn grants already applied.
- Require executor skill reads to use filesystem access from an environment available to the callback, and replace separate optional read contexts with `SkillReadContext`.
- Bind skill pagination snapshots to `EnvironmentAccessKey`, which identifies the source filesystem and callback permissions.
- Route image-generation filesystem operations through the same accessor.
## Testing
Extend skill-read integration coverage to verify that a denied reference becomes readable after a turn-scoped grant is captured by the next model step. Update Windows coverage to verify that restricted reads fail when the executor cannot enforce a sandbox, and add a test requiring turn environment selection before exposing capability roots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 825b49302319965835d61c77fc5bcdb951e10543
## What changed
Return snapshots and model-visible fragments together from world-state rendering, and use those snapshots for history baselines, step updates, compaction, and new context windows.
Update `WorldStateSectionContribution` so its renderer returns an optional replacement snapshot and an optional fragment. A missing snapshot preserves stored section state, even when retained history requires a fresh render; a null snapshot removes the section. Derive step patches from the history baseline rather than a separately captured live world state.
Adapt skills and Git attribution contributors to the new contract.
## Testing
Add coverage for skipped snapshot updates, explicit section removal, changed-state patch replay, unchanged-state deduplication, and matching live and persisted checkpoints when starting a new context window.
GitOrigin-RevId: af71606a278358ae937853cb76e8a019a501408e
## Why
Shadow skill selection runs synchronously during turn input construction, making turn preparation wait for experimental rankings.
## What changed
Run ranking on background blocking workers with a process-wide limit of two concurrent rankings. Wait for capacity in the background and hold each slot until its blocking worker finishes, even if the async evaluation is cancelled.
Freeze catalog, query, and relevance history at turn start. Record eligible invocations immediately for future turns, then score queued observations against the frozen rankings once they are ready, including observations queued before the turn state is dropped.
## Testing
Add tests for turn preparation and history updates while ranking is blocked, deferred invocation scoring against each turn's history, and shared ranking capacity that remains occupied until cancelled workers finish. Update existing metric assertions to collect asynchronous observations across snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: f7776e9aaeb45d3a792de167abbe35f7ec5a513e
## What changed
Emit `codex.skill_invocation` logs for explicit skill injection and detected implicit use, including skill-tool reads. Include skill name, invocation type, conversation, turn, model, and client metadata, plus scope, plugin ID, and ChatGPT user and account IDs when available.
Exclude skill contents, resource paths, email addresses, prompts, and tool payloads. Use the existing OTEL log exporter without an additional opt-in; `otel.exporter = "none"` continues to export no logs.
Document the event fields, exporter configuration, and detection semantics in `codex-rs/otel/README.md`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0f9c492c3f224455f3de3660be89692d776c1951
## Why
Skills available from both cloud and executor providers consume duplicate catalog space, leaving less room for descriptions of unique skills.
## What changed
- Prefer model-visible cloud skills over executor listings with the same `plugin:skill` name before allocating the metadata budget.
- Preserve aliases from the full visible executor inventory so filtering duplicates does not renumber remaining packages. Continue choosing full locators when they fit the budget better.
- Keep executor packages available through `skills.list` and `skills.read`, and retain executor listings when cloud skills are disabled.
## Testing
Add regression tests and a model-request snapshot covering description retention, stable aliases across turns, executor availability changes, package reads, and full-locator selection after deduplication.
GitOrigin-RevId: 477e4cf16b8968dbe61438dd5af1eca9cbfa78c8
## What changed
- Give tool fragment sizes and namespace counts logarithmic boundaries through 32,768.
- Give enabled and kept skill counts integer boundaries from 0 through 512, removed description characters logarithmic boundaries through 131,072, and skill truncation flags boundaries at 0 and 1.
- Record these metrics with explicit boundaries, separating zero values and retaining overflow buckets above each range.
## Testing
Extend tool and skill metric tests to assert explicit boundaries. Add an export test covering zero, one, the upper boundary, and overflow, including bucket counts, ordering, and sample totals.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9fbf3acbe352d7c74f3ad11f0b690148c083a6ef
## Why
Changes in executor availability can alter cloud skill catalog rendering under a shared budget and repeat an unchanged executor catalog when it reconnects.
## What changed
- Cap cloud skills at three quarters of the metadata budget initially, leaving the remaining budget and unused cloud allowance for filesystem skills. Reduce the cloud cap only when doing so allows all skill entries to fit; description truncation alone does not trigger rebalancing.
- Persist the allocation across disconnects, compaction, and thread resume. Recompute it when the cloud inventory or total budget changes.
- Emit a short availability update when an unchanged selected-environment catalog returns and its full text remains in history. Reinject the full catalog when that text is missing.
## Testing
Add coverage for allocation stability, catalog and budget changes, omission handling, and full catalog reinjection after compaction and resume. Extend the selected capability stack test to verify reconnection avoids repeating the catalog.
GitOrigin-RevId: 839fe98024e00c4082a46e6a40675e15fd2c16c6
## Why
Plugin identity and skill ownership need to be available independently of MCP data, including for plugins without servers or connectors. Hosted plugins have no executor root and should not own executor skills.
## What changed
- Add `McpServerContributor::selected_plugins` to declare executor plugin identities with deferred MCP data. Let the host assign server attribution and precedence across contributors.
- Represent hosted connectors with `HostedPluginConnectors` and make `SelectedPluginIdentity::selected_root_id` optional instead of assigning synthetic roots to hosted plugins.
- Resolve executor contributions before reading hosted connectors, and clear stale hosted state on account changes before executor loading can wait.
- Preserve connector declarations from disabled plugins so Apps can hide those connectors.
## Testing
Add coverage for account changes while executor loading is pending. Update tests to verify hosted identities have no executor root and disabled plugins hide their connectors even when plugin IDs differ from root IDs.
GitOrigin-RevId: e7f511264c5874c1b56d5f3e4a46820724046db0
## Why
Cloud skill discovery ran on every turn, even when the Apps resource generation and authentication scope were unchanged.
## What changed
- Reuse warning-free catalogs, including empty catalogs, while their authentication scope and Apps resource cache key remain current.
- Refresh after invalidation and retry failed or partial discovery on the next turn.
- Reject discovery results if the Apps resource cache key changes during discovery.
## Testing
Update lifecycle tests to verify cached turns avoid catalog listings and skill reads, while connection and authentication changes trigger refreshes. Update the referenced-resource test to verify partial discovery retries on the next turn without an explicit MCP refresh.
GitOrigin-RevId: ac47d5202d76703c4946afef3b1a48eaf05b54c2
## Why
Code Mode callbacks can retain skill tools after another turn becomes active. Looking up the active turn when a delayed skill invocation completes can lose access to the originating turn's metrics and metadata.
## What changed
- Capture and retain the originating `SkillTurnMetrics` when constructing skill analytics.
- Expose turn analytics metadata through the turn extension store and carry it into skill telemetry.
- Add optional turn metadata to `TrackEventsContext` and pass it from app, skill, and plugin usage call sites.
## Testing
Add a regression test that yields a Code Mode cell, starts another turn, and releases both skill reads through a shared barrier. Assert that each `skill_invocation` event retains its originating `turn_id`.
GitOrigin-RevId: aa629dd5f84563d558aa6a86bfbdfc356f1b98e4
## 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
Use `EnvironmentAccess` for skill discovery, environment skill loading, and plugin namespace resolution, replacing direct `ExecutorFileSystem` calls with explicit `None` sandbox arguments.
Wrap existing host and executor filesystems with `FileSystemEnvironmentAccessor::unrestricted` to preserve their current access behavior. Update discovery, loading, and namespace tests to use the same adapter.
GitOrigin-RevId: d68168cc0ee19dc303ef4ee726cf1de1a8db81e0
## Why
Filesystem reads previously required a sandbox whenever writes were restricted, even with full-disk read permission. This made permitted reads depend on sandbox availability.
## What changed
- Select sandboxing independently for reads and writes, allowing full-disk reads directly while keeping restricted operations sandboxed.
- Use the executor's path convention when evaluating full-disk access, including `:slash_tmp` denials.
- Apply read-specific checks to capability discovery and skill resource reads, allowing unrestricted reads on executors without sandboxed discovery support.
## Testing
Add regression tests for direct read APIs, restricted writes and reads, executor-specific permission rules, and capability discovery without sandbox support. Update Windows tests to verify sandbox enforcement through writes.
GitOrigin-RevId: a03844bd1f0ea583bb54326683cddbfdd050119f
## Why
Removing the selected working directory can prevent filesystem sandbox helpers from launching, even when the requested absolute paths remain accessible. Permission rules must stay anchored to the selected directory while those operations continue.
## What changed
- Require a policy `cwd` in `FileSystemSandboxContext` and launch filesystem helpers from the filesystem root while preserving the policy directory and workspace roots.
- Carry explicit `policyContext` in filesystem RPCs, preserving legacy wire fields and resolving omitted directories from older clients at executor ingress.
- Keep permission paths as executor file URIs and validate host compatibility where they are enforced.
- Bind Windows relative denial globs to the policy directory before changing the helper's launch directory, preserving home-relative patterns.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for `apply_patch` after working-directory removal, legacy RPC directory fallbacks, cross-platform permission URI transport, and Windows relative read denials. The patch regression verifies that an allowed file is updated while an explicitly denied file remains unreadable and unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: b0f4db722b27cb72ec129fc297c85732afac11f7
## What changed
Stop emitting a warning when skill descriptions are shortened to fit the skills context budget. Continue warning when skills are omitted from the model-visible list.
Update the app-server warning test to set `skills.max_context_tokens` to `1_000` and expect the omitted-skills warning. Remove assertions and tests for the description-shortening warning.

## Why
Orchestrator skill caches were tied to the entire MCP connection set, so runtime updates could discard cached catalogs and contents even when the Apps connection was reused. Plugin changes still need to refresh those resources without requiring a reconnect.
## What changed
Key orchestrator skill caches by the Apps server connection and an explicit invalidation generation. Preserve cached resources while that identity stays unchanged, and invalidate them on MCP runtime refresh requests or configuration refreshes. Replacing the connection also changes the cache identity.
## Testing
Extend the production-turn integration test to verify cache reuse across ordinary turns and approval-policy changes, refreshed skill contents after plugin invalidation without reconnecting, and fresh resource requests after a forced reconnect.

## Why
Executor skill discovery enabled every discovered skill, with no provider option for callers to disable selected skills.
## What changed
Add `ExecutorSkillProvider::with_disabled_skill_paths` to accept `SKILL.md` paths grouped by environment ID. Mark matching catalog entries disabled in both discovery routes so they are omitted from model context. Skills remain enabled by default, and paths configured for another environment have no effect.
## Testing
Extend catalog tests to cover default enablement, matching paths, and environment isolation across both discovery routes. Add a model-context snapshot test confirming that an active skill appears while a disabled skill is omitted.

## Why
MXC is a sandbox implementation, not a restricted-token sandbox level. Executor requests need to represent that choice separately from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
## What changed
- Introduce `WindowsSandboxSelection` for executor sandbox contexts and remove `Mxc` from `WindowsSandboxLevel`.
- Preserve the `windowsSandboxLevel` wire field and its serialized values for compatibility.
- Share sandbox selection between executor process launches and filesystem helpers, and use the new selection in capability discovery and skill reads.
- Disable Windows sandbox selection for executor paths that do not use Windows path conventions.
## Testing
Extend coverage for MXC wire serialization, Windows skill-read sandbox checks, and capability discovery with distinct permissions. Exercise remote filesystem write restrictions with both restricted-token and MXC sandboxes, including rejection when native MXC is unavailable.

## Why
MCP tool parsing eagerly cloned structured output schemas and built full call-result envelopes. Cloning tool definitions also copied their output-schema JSON, even before a consumer needed it.
## What changed
- Introduce `ToolOutputSchema` with immutable `Arc` storage so tool definitions share output schemas when cloned.
- Retain MCP structured output schemas and materialize the call-result envelope only when JSON is requested.
- Update code-mode consumers and schema mutation sites to materialize JSON explicitly, reusing uniquely owned storage when possible.
- Move structured content into the MCP envelope without an extra clone, preserving property order.
## Testing
Add tests for JSON preservation, mutation isolation, equality between lazy and materialized schemas, reuse of uniquely owned storage, and equivalent code-mode definitions.

## Why
Model switches within a turn can leave extension context using stale model metadata. Skill catalogs, context windows, and metric attribution need to match the model captured for each sampling step.
## What changed
- Pass captured model metadata and step-specific telemetry to world-state contributors.
- Use that metadata for skill catalog budgets and usage instructions, preserving configured budget overrides.
- Supply the captured model's usable context window to turn-context contributors, including when rebuilding context.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for model switches during skill discovery, catalog budgets and metric attribution, and extension context windows after `new_context` and retained-step context rebuilds.

## Why
Guardian request and section cost distributions need shared bucket boundaries across synchronous and asynchronous reviewers so their measurements align.
## What changed
- Add `histogram_with_boundaries` to session telemetry and extension metrics while preserving session attribution.
- Use shared request-token buckets up to 2,000,000 tokens and section-cost buckets up to 16,777,216 for both review paths.
## Testing
Extend telemetry tests to verify explicit bucket boundaries and sample counts, and Guardian integration coverage to check exported request and section metric bounds for both synchronous and asynchronous reviews.

## Why
Another process sharing `CODEX_HOME` can replace an installed plugin version
without invalidating the current process's caches. This could leave skill
listings tied to stale plugin paths and retain obsolete plugin generations.
## What changed
- Reject cached plugin loads when their roots no longer match the active
installation, so skills are reloaded after upgrades or rollbacks.
- Keep the 32 most recently used configuration-based skill snapshots while
allowing callers to continue using snapshots that have been evicted.
## Testing
- Cover external plugin upgrades and rollbacks through `skills/list`, including
a subsequent warm-cache read.
- Cover cache eviction, reuse, and the lifetime of caller-held snapshots.

## What changed
- Add callback lifetimes to extension `ToolCall`, `ToolEnvironment`, turn-input context, and skill-read request types.
- Require extension tool executors to handle calls for any invocation lifetime and tie their returned futures to that lifetime.
- Update built-in extensions, adapters, and tests to use the lifetime-scoped APIs without retaining host-owned environment capabilities.

## Why
Repeated skill locator roots can make catalog prompts larger even when the
catalog fits within its metadata budget.
## What changed
Evaluate aliased catalogs regardless of budget pressure and select them when
they preserve skill inclusion and description content while reducing prompt
size. Apply the same selection to combined host, executor, and orchestrator
catalogs.
## Testing
Add coverage for alias selection in full host-only catalogs and update skill,
symlink, and orchestrator resource tests to expect shortened locators and their
root mappings.

## Why
Guardian treated all skill instructions as untrusted, so it could not use the
invocation of a user-owned skill as authorization evidence.
## What changed
- Record explicit and implicit skill invocations through extension contributors.
- Send Guardian a bounded, deduplicated list of canonical skill paths only when
they resolve under the user's Codex or `.agents` skill directories.
- Keep repository skills and symlinks that escape trusted roots untrusted, and
send only verified paths rather than skill contents to the classifier.
- Avoid recording host skill prompts that were superseded by core skill
injection.
## Testing
- Added unit coverage for trusted roots, symlink escapes, deduplication, and
size limits.
- Added integration coverage showing that Guardian trusts invoked user skills
while rejecting a forged repository skill.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1cc0be230f7e6649110201c23c3de8f26447ff36
## What changed
- Add `plugin_id`, `model_slug`, and `reasoning_effort` dimensions to
`codex.skill.injected` metrics for explicit and implicit skill invocations.
- Propagate plugin IDs from orchestrator skill metadata so resource-backed skill
invocations can emit the same attribution.
- Record `codex.skill.turn.duration_seconds` once per plugin used in a turn,
tagged with the model, reasoning effort, and completed, aborted, or error
status.
