## Bug Fixes
- Alternate-screen handling now avoids breaking Zellij scrollback and adds a config/flag to control it. (#8555)
- Windows correctly prompts before unsafe commands when running with a read-only sandbox policy. (#9117)
- Config.toml and rules parsing errors are reported to app-server clients/TUI instead of failing silently. (#9182, #9011)

e1447c3009 feat: add support for read-only bind mounts in the linux sandbox (#9112)
### Motivation

- Landlock alone cannot prevent writes to sensitive in-repo files like
`.git/` when the repo root is writable, so explicit mount restrictions
are required for those paths.
- The sandbox must set up any mounts before calling Landlock so Landlock
can still be applied afterwards and the two mechanisms compose
correctly.

### Description

- Add a new `linux-sandbox` helper `apply_read_only_mounts` in
`linux-sandbox/src/mounts.rs` that: unshares namespaces, maps uids/gids
when required, makes mounts private, bind-mounts targets, and remounts
them read-only.
- Wire the mount step into the sandbox flow by calling
`apply_read_only_mounts(...)` before network/seccomp and before applying
Landlock rules in `linux-sandbox/src/landlock.rs`.

bcd7858ced feat: add auto refresh on thread listeners (#9105)
This PR is in the scope of multi-agent work. 

An agent (=thread) can now spawn other agents. Those other agents are
not attached to any clients. We need a way to make sure that the clients
are aware of the new threads to look at (for approval for example). This
PR adds a channel to the `ThreadManager` that pushes the ID of those
newly created agents such that the client (here the app-server) can also
subscribe to those ones.

dc3deaa3e7 feat: return an error if the image sent by the user is a bad image (#9146)
## Before
When we detect an `InvalidImageRequest`, we replace the image by a
placeholder and keep going

## Now
In such `InvalidImageRequest`, we check if the image is due to a user
message or a tool call output. For tool call output we still replace it
with a placeholder to avoid breaking the agentic loop bu tif this is
because of a user message, we send an error to the user

0c09dc3c03 feat: add threadId to MCP server messages (#9192)
This favors `threadId` instead of `conversationId` so we use the same
terms as https://developers.openai.com/codex/sdk/.

To test the local build:

```
cd codex-rs
cargo build --bin codex
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector ./target/debug/codex mcp-server
```

I sent:

```json
{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "codex",
    "arguments": {
      "prompt": "favorite ls option?"
    },
    "_meta": {
      "progressToken": 0
    }
  }
}
```

and got:

```json
{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "`ls -lah` (or `ls -alh`) — long listing, includes dotfiles, human-readable sizes."
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "threadId": "019bbb20-bff6-7130-83aa-bf45ab33250e"
  }
}
```

and successfully used the `threadId` in the follow-up with the
`codex-reply` tool call:

```json
{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "codex-reply",
    "arguments": {
      "prompt": "what is the long versoin",
      "threadId": "019bbb20-bff6-7130-83aa-bf45ab33250e"
    },
    "_meta": {
      "progressToken": 1
    }
  }
}
```

whose response also has the `threadId`:

```json
{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "Long listing is `ls -l` (adds permissions, owner/group, size, timestamp)."
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "threadId": "019bbb20-bff6-7130-83aa-bf45ab33250e"
  }
}
```

5675af5190 chore: clarify default shell for unified_exec (#8997)
The description of the `shell` arg for `exec_command` states the default
is `/bin/bash`, but AFAICT it's the user's default shell.

Default logic
[here](2a06d64bc9/codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/unified_exec.rs (L123)).

EDIT: #9004 has an alternative where we inform the model of the default
shell itself.

31d9b6f4d2 Improve handling of config and rules errors for app server clients (#9182)
When an invalid config.toml key or value is detected, the CLI currently
just quits. This leaves the VSCE in a dead state.

This PR changes the behavior to not quit and bubble up the config error
to users to make it actionable. It also surfaces errors related to
"rules" parsing.

This allows us to surface these errors to users in the VSCE, like this:

ce49e92848 fix(tui): harden paste-burst state transitions (#9124)
User-facing symptom: On terminals that deliver pastes as rapid
KeyCode::Char/Enter streams (notably Windows), paste-burst transient
state
can leak into the next input. Users can see Enter insert a newline when
they meant to submit, or see characters appear late / handled through
the
wrong path.

System problem: PasteBurst is time-based. Clearing only the
classification window (e.g. via clear_window_after_non_char()) can erase
last_plain_char_time without emitting buffered text. If a buffer is
still
non-empty after that, flush_if_due() no longer has a timeout clock to
flush against, so the buffer can get "stuck" until another plain char
arrives.

This was surfaced while adding deterministic regression tests for
paste-burst behavior.

Fix: when disabling burst detection, defuse any in-flight burst state:
flush held/buffered text through handle_paste() (so it follows normal
paste integration), then clear timing and Enter suppression.

Document the rationale inline and update docs/tui-chat-composer.md so
"disable_paste_burst" matches the actual behavior.

c96c26cf5b [CODEX-4427] improve parsed commands (#8933)
**make command summaries more accurate by distinguishing
list/search/read operations across common CLI tools.**
- Added parsing helpers to centralize operand/flag handling (cd_target,
sed_read_path, first_non_flag_operand, single_non_flag_operand,
parse_grep_like, awk_data_file_operand, python_walks_files,
is_python_command) and reused them in summarize_main_tokens/shell
parsing.
- Newly parsed list-files commands: git ls-files, rg --files (incl.
rga/ripgrep-all), eza/exa, tree, du, python -c file-walks, plus fd/find
map to ListFiles when no query.
- Newly parsed search commands: git grep, grep/egrep/fgrep, ag/ack/pt,
rg/rga files-with-matches flags (-l/-L, --files-with-matches,
--files-without-match), with improved flag skipping to avoid
misclassifying args as paths.
- Newly parsed read commands: bat/batcat, less, more, awk <file>, and
more flexible sed -n range + file detection.
- refine “small formatting command” detection for awk/sed, handle cd
with -- or multiple operands, keep pipeline summaries focused on primary
command.

903a0c0933 feat: add bazel-codex entry to justfile (#9177)
This is less straightforward than I realized, so created an entry for

Verified that running `just bazel-codex` from anywhere in the repo uses
the user's `$PWD` as the one to run Codex.

While here, updated the `MODULE.bazel.lock`, though it looks like I need
to add a CI job that runs `bazel mod deps --lockfile_mode=error` or
something.

4c673086bc fix: integration test for #9011 (#9166)
Adds an integration test for the new behavior introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9011. The work to create the test
setup was substantial enough that I thought it merited a separate PR.

This integration test spawns `codex` in TUI mode, which requires
spawning a PTY to run successfully, so I had to introduce quite a bit of
scaffolding in `run_codex_cli()`. I was surprised to discover that we
have not done this in our codebase before, so perhaps this should get
moved to a common location so it can be reused.

The test itself verifies that a malformed `rules` in `$CODEX_HOME`
prints a human-readable error message and exits nonzero.

2cd1a0a45e fix: report an appropriate error in the TUI for malformed rules (#9011)
The underlying issue is that when we encountered an error starting a
conversation (any sort of error, though making `$CODEX_HOME/rules` a
file rather than folder was the example in #8803), then we were writing
the message to stderr, but this could be printed over by our UI
framework so the user would not see it. In general, we disallow the use
of `eprintln!()` in this part of the code for exactly this reason,
though this was suppressed by an `#[allow(clippy::print_stderr)]`.

This attempts to clean things up by changing `handle_event()` and
`handle_tui_event()` to return a `Result<AppRunControl>` instead of a
`Result<bool>`, which is a new type introduced in this PR (and depends
on `ExitReason`, also a new type):

```rust
#[derive(Debug)]
pub(crate) enum AppRunControl {
    Continue,
    Exit(ExitReason),
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub enum ExitReason {
    UserRequested,
    Fatal(String),
}
```

This makes it possible to exit the primary control flow of the TUI with
richer information. This PR adds `ExitReason` to the existing
`AppExitInfo` struct and updates `handle_app_exit()` to print the error
and exit code `1` in the event of `ExitReason::Fatal`.

I tried to create an integration test for this, but it was a bit
involved, so I published it as a separate PR:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9166. For this PR, please have
faith in my manual testing!

Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/8803.

So the test can sometimes race and observe connections before the list

After this change, connection and request is added to the list before
the response is sent.

3c711f3d16 Fix spinner/Esc interrupt when MCP startup completes mid-turn (#8661)
## **Problem**

Codex’s TUI uses a single “task running” indicator (spinner + Esc interrupt hint)
to communicate “the UI is busy”. In practice, “busy” can mean two different
things: an agent turn is running, or MCP servers are still starting up. Without a
clear contract, those lifecycles can interfere: startup completion can clear the
spinner while a turn is still in progress, or the UI can appear idle while MCP is
still booting. This is user-visible confusion during the most important moments
(startup and the first turn), so it was worth making the contract explicit and
guarding it.

## **Mental model**

`ChatWidget` is the UI-side adapter for the `codex_core::protocol` event stream.
It receives `EventMsg` events and updates two major UI surfaces: the transcript
(history/streaming cells) and the bottom pane (composer + status indicator).

The key concept after this change is that the bottom pane’s “task running”
indicator is treated as **derived UI-busy state**, not “agent is running”. It is
considered active while either:
- an agent turn is in progress (`TurnStarted` → completion/abort), or
- MCP startup is in progress (`McpStartupUpdate` → `McpStartupComplete`).

Those lifecycles are tracked independently, and the bottom-pane indicator is
defined as their union.

## **Non-goals**

- This does not introduce separate UI indicators for “turn busy” vs “MCP busy”.
- This does not change MCP startup behavior, ordering guarantees, or core
  protocol semantics.
- This does not rework unrelated status/header rendering or transcript layout.

## **Tradeoffs**

- The “one flag represents multiple lifecycles” approach remains lossy: it
  preserves correct “busy vs idle” semantics but cannot express *which* kind of
  busy is happening without further UI changes.
- The design keeps complexity low by keeping a single derived boolean, rather
  than adding a more expressive bottom-pane state machine. That’s chosen because
  it matches existing UX and minimizes churn while fixing the confusion.

## **Architecture**

- `codex-core` owns the actual lifecycles and emits `codex_core::protocol`
  events.
- `ChatWidget` owns the UI interpretation of those lifecycles. It is responsible
  for keeping the bottom pane’s derived “busy” state consistent with the event
  stream, and for updating the status header when MCP progress updates arrive.
- The bottom pane remains a dumb renderer of the single “task running” flag; it
  does not learn about MCP or agent turns directly.

## **Observability**

- When working: the spinner/Esc hint stays visible during MCP startup and does
  not disappear mid-turn when `McpStartupComplete` arrives; startup status
  headers can update without clearing “busy” for an active turn.
- When broken: you’ll see the spinner/hint flicker off while output is still
  streaming, or the UI appears idle while MCP startup status is still changing.

## **Tests**

- Adds/strengthens a regression test that asserts MCP startup completion does
  not clear the “task running” indicator for an active turn (in both `tui` and
  `tui2` variants).
- These tests prove the **contract** (“busy is the union of turn + startup”) at
  the UI boundary; they do not attempt to validate MCP startup ordering,
  real-world startup timing, or backend integration behavior.

141d2b5022 test(tui): add deterministic paste-burst tests (#9121)
Replace the old timing-dependent non-ASCII paste test with deterministic
coverage by forcing an active `PasteBurst` and asserting the exact flush
payload.

Add focused unit tests for `PasteBurst` transitions, and add short
"Behavior:" rustdoc notes on chat composer tests to make the state
machine contracts explicit.

bde734fd1e feat(app-server): add an --analytics-default-enabled flag (#9118)
Add a new `codex app-server --analytics-default-enabled` CLI flag that
controls whether analytics are enabled by default.

Analytics are disabled by default for app-server. Users have to
explicitly opt in
via the `analytics` section in the config.toml file.

However, for first-party use cases like the VSCode IDE extension, we
default analytics
to be enabled by default by setting this flag. Users can still opt out
by setting this
in their config.toml:

```toml
[analytics]
enabled = false
```

See https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-advanced/#metrics for
more details.

58e8f75b27 fix(tui): document paste-burst state machine (#9020)
Add a narrative doc and inline rustdoc explaining how `ChatComposer`
and `PasteBurst` compose into a single state machine on terminals that
lack reliable bracketed paste (notably Windows).

This documents the key states, invariants, and integration points
(`handle_input_basic`, `handle_non_ascii_char`, tick-driven flush) so
future changes are easier to reason about.

2651980bdf Restrict MCP servers from requirements.toml (#9101)
Enterprises want to restrict the MCP servers their users can use.

Admins can now specify an allowlist of MCPs in `requirements.toml`. The
MCP servers are matched on both Name and Transport (local path or HTTP
URL) -- both must match to allow the MCP server. This prevents
circumventing the allowlist by renaming MCP servers in user config. (It
is still possible to replace the local path e.g. rewrite say
`/usr/local/github-mcp` with a nefarious MCP. We could allow hash
pinning in the future, but that would break updates. I also think this
represents a broader, out-of-scope problem.)

We introduce a new field to Constrained: "normalizer". In general, it is
a fn(T) -> T and applies when `Constrained<T>.set()` is called. In this
particular case, it disables MCP servers which do not match the
allowlist. An alternative solution would remove this and instead throw a
ConstraintError. That would stop Codex launching if any MCP server was
configured which didn't match. I think this is bad.

We currently reuse the enabled flag on MCP servers to disable them, but
don't propagate any information about why they are disabled. I'd like to
add that in a follow up PR, possibly by switching out enabled with an
enum.

In action:

57ba758df5 Fix queued messages during /review (#9122)
Sending a message during /review interrupts the review, whereas during
normal operation, sending a message while the agent is running will
queue the message. This is unexpected behavior, and since /review
usually takes a while, it takes away a potentially useful operation.

Summary
- Treat review mode as an active task for message queuing so inputs
don’t inject into the running review turn.
- Prevents user submissions from rendering immediately in the transcript
while the review continues streaming.
- Keeps review UX consistent with normal “task running” behavior and
avoids accidental interrupt/replacement.

Notes
- This change only affects UI queuing logic; core review flow and task
lifecycle remain unchanged.

40e2405998 add generated jsonschema for config.toml (#8956)
### What
Add JSON Schema generation for `config.toml`, with checked‑in
`docs/config.schema.json`. We can move the schema elsewhere if preferred
(and host it if there's demand).

Add fixture test to prevent drift and `just write-config-schema` to
regenerate on schema changes.

Generate MCP config schema from `RawMcpServerConfig` instead of
`McpServerConfig` because that is the runtime type used for
deserialization.

Populate feature flag values into generated schema so they can be
autocompleted.

### Tests
Added tests + regenerate script to prevent drift. Tested autocompletions
using generated jsonschema locally with Even Better TOML.

fe03320791 ollama: default to Responses API for built-ins (#8798)
This is an alternate PR to solving the same problem as
<https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8227>.

In this PR, when Ollama is used via `--oss` (or via `model_provider =
"ollama"`), we default it to use the Responses format. At runtime, we do
an Ollama version check, and if the version is older than when Responses
support was added to Ollama, we print out a warning.

Because there's no way of configuring the wire api for a built-in
provider, we temporarily add a new `oss_provider`/`model_provider`
called `"ollama-chat"` that will force the chat format.

Once the `"chat"` format is fully removed (see
<https://github.com/openai/codex/discussions/7782>), `ollama-chat` can
be removed as well

Handle image paste on empty paste events.

- Intent: make image paste work in terminals that emit empty paste
events.
- Approach: route paste events through an image-aware handler and read
the clipboard when text is empty.
- That's best effort to detect it. Some terminals don't send the empty
signal.
